THE
NEWS in REVIEW
By Maddison Cervantes
INTERNATIONAL
Every year approximately 40,000
girls and young women journey
to King Mswatis residence in
Swaziland, Africa, to take part in a
traditional festival famously known
as Umhlanga, the countrys annual
reed dance.
The eight-day-long event has been
protested by human rights groups
and has been called outdated and
sexist, according to a BBC article.
The young women are to parade in
minimal clothing in front of Mswatis
home for a ceremony in which he will
select a new wife. A majority of the
girls travel from different areas of the
country in trucks.
On Friday, Aug. 28, BBC News
reported that one of the trucks full of
girls crashed, leaving 38 dead and at
least 20 severely injured.
One of the trucks transporting the
girls collided with another vehicle on
the highway and flung several of the
passengers out of the truck.
NATIONAL
On Wednesday, Aug. 26, in Moneta, Virginia, two journalists by the
names of Alison Parker and Adam
Ward were killed by a gunman during a broadcast interview.
While both victims suffered gunshots to the head, Parker received
shots to the chest and Ward to the
torso, according to BBC News.
Both journalists worked for the
local CBS affiliate WDBJ in Roanoke,
Virginia, and were interviewing
Vicki Gardner, chamber of commerce executive, during the time
of the attack. The gunman missed
Gardner twice, but she then took a
shot to the back. Gardner survived
the initial attack and later made it
to an ambulance.
NBC News stated that the gunman and former WDBJ employee
Vester Flanagan fired on the victims 17 times and later died from
self-inflicted gunshot wounds.
He claimed that he had been mistreated during his employment and
filed an EEOC complaint against
Parker, though that complaint was
eventually dismissed.
Gardners husband, Tim, claims
that his wife is in good condition
at a hospital. However, a surgeon
informed him that Gardners
wounds were centimeters away
from being fatal.
LOCAL
The western United States continues to stand on edge as record
numbers of wildfires persist across
the region.
Thus far, the persistent Gasquet
Complex Bear Fire in Klamath National Forest, along the CaliforniaOregon border, has required $86
million worth of control from the
Central Coast Incident Management Team.
While California and Washington
have taken the brunt of the blazes,
Nevada has found itself smothered
by the resulting smoke. The smoke
has proven especially dangerous
for the elderly, small children and
those with respiratory illnesses.
Alongside the string of fires in the
north, Central California was struck
by another set of flames on Friday,
Aug. 14. KOLO News reported that
as of Monday, Aug. 24, the Walker
Fire, southwest of Lee Vining, has
burned 3,676 acres. However, the
fire is 98 percent contained.
As for the surrounding area, several local roads have been closed
for fire operations and public safety,
according to InciWeb, the Incident
Information System. Along with
those restrictions, the Walker Lake
Fishing Camp has been evacuated
and closed as well as the trail to
Mono Pass and Aspen Grove Campground.

SENATE BILL 83
Center for Student
Engagement Remodel
Clears Crucial First
Hurdle
In a unanimous vote, the
senate fast-tracked Senate Bill
83 which would allow Associated Students of the University
of Nevada president Caden Fabbi
$22,800 to pay for the design of a
remodel of the ASUN Center for
Student Engagement.
Currently, the Center for
Student Engagement houses
most ASUN operations, including offices for ASUN elected
officials, student publications
and the ASUN food pantry. Fabbi
has expressed, however, that he
wants the Center for Student
Engagement to be a space where
all students can come and work
together.
To accomplish this, the remodel would rearrange office space
inside the Center for Student
Engagement.
We need a collaborative workspace for students, Fabbi said.
The Joe Crowley Student Union
is likely going to be expanded in
the next few years. Knowing that
and supporting that, I think that
we need to be able to accommodate within our offices in order
to be able to serve that larger
student population.
Though Fabbi asserted that
there is no actual estimate for
what the remodel would cost, he
gave a rough figure of $150,000 to
be taken from the ASUN capital
fund.
The Center for Student Engagement last underwent a remodel in 2012 when the so-called
Freshman Hub was added. The
hub, which includes whiteboard
walls, computers and lounge
space, is frequently empty and
only ever utilized during finals,
according to Fabbi.
The remodel is expected to
take place over winter break and
should be complete by the start
of the spring semester.
SENATE
RESOLUTION 83
ASUN Officially Throws
Support Behind WPR FM
Station
The senate unanimously supported Wolf Pack Radios latest
attempt to acquire an FM radio
station with Senate Resolution
83.
However, while the eventual
vote on S.R. 83 came out in WPRs
favor, both assistant director
for student engagement James
Beattie and director for student
engagement Sandra Rodriguez
expressed concern over some of
the resolutions original wording.
I dont know if this would
necessarily work within our system, Beattie said. I think it may
become a roadblock to acquiring
the FM station if pushed to the
president in this light.
Previous attempts to acquire
an FM license for WPR have
failed largely because of an FCC
policy that has prevented the
University of Nevada, Reno from
having two FM licenses (the
first of which already belongs to
KUNR, the local NPR station).
As things stand now, WPR would
rely on the Reno Bike Project to
be the official owner of the FM
license.
However, both WPR director
Tom Snider and the original
draft of S.R. 83 noted that for
the license to be transferred to
WPR, WPR would need to be
an independent entity separate
from ASUN. That fine print may
complicate things down the line,
as Beattie noted, but for the time
being, WPR has the blessing of
ASUN to pursue an FM station.

the
universitys
Quad to the
Reno Events Center. Statucki attributed the
change to air quality and safety
concerns.
We always look at whats happened in the past to make adjustments for the future, Statucki
said. With this concert obviously,
we had to change venues. So
in the future if we try to have an
event on the Quad, we know what
kind of things may arise, and what
kind of challenges that poses.
That wasnt the only hardship
theyve faced. Even though the
Waka Flocka concert was the
most successful concert theyve
had both in sales and cost-perstudent analysis, members of
programming were booed as they
took the stage to introduce the
Atlanta-based rapper.
While the reasons for the jeers
remain unclear, the boos were un-
mist a k able
and
out of place. Programmer Casey Hurdle thought
that the event was a success in
every way, from the audience
to the artists tweeting about the
great crowd, noting that everyone
in attendance seemed to enjoy
the show.
I think the students appreciate
ASUN and the Department of
Programming even if they arent
fully aware of all that we do,
Hurdle said. We put all of our
time and energy into planning
and executing these events so the
students can enjoy their college
experience even more. As long as
they are enjoying the events, then
we as a board are happy.

There is nothing wrong with wanting
to go explore new places and start new
chapters in your lifes journey. In fact, I
think its great when people follow their
passions and do what they can to add
to their self-growth. But dont disregard
all that Reno has to offer. Dont just live
on the surface of Reno; dig down deep
and explore all of its hidden treasures.
Get outside and explore get your
blood flowing with the endless outdoor
activities. Open yourself up to the
amazing community and let it help you
reach your ultimate goals. Give back
to the city that is helping shape us into
the hardworking adults that we all have
the capability of being. Be a part of the
Biggest Little City and use your passions
to leave an impact.
Do all of these things, and I bet you
might just fall in love with Reno as much
as I have.

What if I pick the wrong major?

DEAR SAGE,
FLICKR COURTESY OF FIONA CULLINAN KATCHOO
A motorcycle belonging to the Birmingham Police Department sits parked. Columnist Ali Schultz argues that the backlash against police officers, such as the
beating of a member of the Birmingham PD , is a sign that society fails to appreciate the contributions of those who protect families and individuals.
limit.
Will you choose to float in the labyrinth of space, visiting other planets
and naming new stars? Will you choose
to be an actor or actress and bring
raw emotion into
the living rooms of
families worldwide?
Or will you choose
to wear blue armor,
protect our streets,
enforce our laws
and be proud to call
yourself a member
of the police force?
Ali
Even when the
Schultz
world around us is
Schultz Happens
filled with unfortunate situations, we
must remind ourselves to whom we
owe respect and honor for protecting
us. These days, police officers do not
receive the gratitude and praise they
undoubtedly deserve.
When confronted by a peer on
whether my decision to write this
piece was timely enough or whether I
feared offending anyone, I knew it was
my duty more than ever to highlight a
major downfall in society.
I am not here to share my personal
opinions on the unfortunate death
of Trayvon Martin or the riots that
ensued. I will definitely not be one to
say police officers should not be careful
about being trigger-happy or being
held accountable for their actions that
take place in the line of duty. They
signed up for their positions knowing
the accountability they would be held
to.
But recently, violence against
police officers and the lack of respect
our generation appears to have for
the police force is nothing short of
pathetic. The public has a right to
be upset about what happened in
Ferguson, Missouri with Michael
Brown if they would like, just as they
have a right to be upset over Martin. As
Americans, we are fortunate enough
to voice those opinions and petition
at CNN. Pictures of the beaten detective surfaced all over social media
with tweets that made me sick to my
stomach. Tweets read, Pistol whipped
his ass to sleep. [emojis] #FckDaPolice.
Another equally ignorant tweet read,
Pistol pimped his face n um chillen
now.
Excuse me, but are you fucking kidding me? Where are the riots for justice
for these men? Where is the nonstop,
in-your-face media coverage for Ashton
and her family highlighting how good
of a man her father was and that he lost
his life much too soon? Where is the
justice and the people speaking out for
the detective who was afraid to stick up
for himself against a serial criminal, so
instead he lay limp on the ground to
spare himself the media scrutiny?
Another instance that hits especially close to home is Carl Howell, the
35-year-old Carson City sheriffs deputy
who was shot and killed in the line of
duty while responding to a domestic
violence call. Howell leaves behind four
children ages 7 through 12 and a wife.
Now I bet if you surveyed 10 random
people at the national level, the majority would be unable to share any of the
details about theses cases following
the brutalities against police officers.
However, when asked about what
occurred in Ferguson, many people
could share details of this event. Where
is the justice in this? The equality?
Police lives should matter just as
much as any others. We should mourn
the same and have the same sense of
passion and anger we have seeing a
man or woman lose their life fighting
for our safety as we do when others lose
their lives.
Our generation is losing sight of
the risk officers face every day when
putting on their uniform and heading
to work. It seems we are forgetting that
they too are wives, husbands, brothers,
sisters, fathers and mothers. They are
someones children. They put on their
uniforms every day with a sense of
uncertainty, but they do it to protect the
lives of utter strangers. That, to me, is
unwavering heroism.
We must not forget the steadfast
courage it takes every day to wake up

be looked to as the go-to threat for the offense in 2015.
Jack, I wanted that mic drop at the end to be more epic! Did Jackson walk
away after? Did he do a Kanye Shrug? I want to know. Theres not much to
criticize here because we just debated each other for a whole page. I wish
this was on camera because he had some Marshawn Lynch-like answers.
Was he there so he wouldnt get fined? I also hate USC, so Don earned some

Neil, I think youve been watching too many award shows. I also wish this
interview was filmed because DJ has excellent comedic timing. He did
have a little Marshawn Lynch in his tone, but he was also very genuine with
his answers. For example, I was expecting DJ to give a safe answer to the
question about choosing what college football team he wanted to play for,
but he immediately said Ohio State. Ive heard he wants to get into sports
broadcasting after his playing career is over, and I could see it.

Preview
of a lightweight Mountain
West Conference schedule
and wins the West division
with about nine victories. The
Pack doesnt play Boise State,
Colorado State or Air Force,
who all narrowly beat Nevada
last season by seven points
or less. The combined record
of the Wolf Packs conference
opponents last season stood at
a disappointing 40-63 due to the
underwhelming performances
of schools such as UNLV, New
Mexico, Hawaii and San Jose
State.
BEST-CASE SCENARIO
WORST-CASE SCENARIO
The season starts off horribly
by dropping three out of four

nature of being one of the men
in the trenches.
Being an offensive linemen is
sort of a unique deal, Hudson
said. Youre basically going
through 50 car crashes every
Saturday. Youre banging into a
lot of bodies. They understand
that. They also understand
that this game is a long haul.
Its a 60-minute football game,
and the toll that they take on
defenses by playing physical
for four quarters can have an
impact on our game.
Nevadas offensive line will not
just have an impact on the game,
they will dictate the tempo of the
offense based on their ability to
control the opposing defensive
line. They will also be faced
with protecting a quarterback
making only his second career
start under center. That is a lot
of responsibility for a group
who only has one member old
enough to buy a drink at the
Corkscroo.
CONFERENCE
SCHEDULE
Nevada has their easiest
conference schedule since
joining the MWC in 2011,
mostly because the West
Division lacks the talent of the
POTENTIAL UPSETS
Nevada takes a trip to
eastern New York to take on the
Buffalo Bulls on Sept. 26. This
is a potential upset because
the Buffalo offense brings back
all of their firepower from a
season ago. Senior running
back Anthone Taylor, senior
quarterback Joe Licata and
senior wide receiver Ron
Willoughby lead an offense that
brings back both experience
and playmaking ability. Licata
in particular will look to pick
apart an inexperienced Nevada
secondary with his ability to
throw down-field and build on
the 60 touchdown passes in his
career.
Prediction: Nevada escapes
Buffalo with a hard-fought
win, but the Bulls expose some
holes in the secondary.
Expect a seven- or eight-win
season and a berth in a lowertier bowl game. Two tough
non-conference games and
a tough slate of road games
in the month of November
will lead to Nevada to fall just
short of a birth in the MWC
Championship Game.

MIRACLE of the
comeback
Dravecky speaks
on his lifes journey
By Neil Patrick Healy
I thought
to myself,
Oh my god.
This is so much
bigger than
the game.
-Dave Dravecky
that would allude to the next chapter in
his story.
I was talking about the miracle of
my comeback and Knepper turns to
me and says, Its not the miracle of the
comeback thats so important. Its the
miracle of salvation, and the day that
your faith became real to you.
That miracle began when his comeback came to an end. In the sixth
inning against the Expos, Dravecky
threw his last pitch when the humerus
bone in his arm snapped. Fans at the
game said that the sound of the break
could be heard throughout the stadium
and Dravecky was seen rolling on the
ground in pain.
When I was on the ground, all I
heard were Kneppers words, Dravecky
said. I thought to myself, Oh my god.
This is so much bigger than the game. I
wouldnt discover the meaning behind
everything that had happened for a few
years because the real pain and suffering was about to begin.
Dravecky was forced to retire in 1989
after a second break in his arm and discovering that the cancer had returned.
He later fought a staff infection for 10
months and doctors were forced to remove his left arm and shoulder in order
to save his life. In the midst of losing his
pitching arm, Dravecky welcomed the
change.
I figured with all my physical, emotional and spiritual problems, getting
rid of my left arm and shoulder would
get rid of all my problems, Dravecky
said. My arm had become completely
useless, so my wife and I handled the
surgery really well and we were excited
to move on.
After the initial relief of not carrying
his arm and the nuisance that came
with it, the reality set in that Dravecky
was never going to pitch again.
