OPEC to continue pumping
oil at current rates despite
concerns over climate change
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries has
vowed to continue producing oil
at its current rate, according to The
New York Times. That oil, expected
to exceed 31 million barrels per day,
will enter a market that is already
oversaturated, and is expected to
push oil prices even lower.
Currently, crude oil costs $41 per
barrel internationally and $38 per
barrel in the U.S. These prices are
roughly half of what they were in
2014 and are at levels unseen since
the Great Recession in 2008.
Thus far, OPECs strategy has
been to make and sell as much oil
as possible to combat the low prices and keep its economies afloat,
but low-carbon mantras being
adopted by most world leaders has
put a damper on big oil producers.
Moreover, OPECs decision to push
for more oil comes right in the
middle of the climate conference
in Paris, where even the Arab gulf
states have pledged to boost use
of clean energy resources from 0.2
percent to 24 percent by 2021.
Other oil producers who are not
in OPEC, such as Mexico and Russia, have felt a similar squeeze on
oil profits. Like OPEC, these other
producers have been forced to step
up oil production as well. In the
current climate, the vast oversupply of crude oil will likely keep
global oil prices at their present
low.

Justice Department to open
investigation into Chicago Police
Attorney General Loretta Lynch
announced Sunday that the Justice
Department has opened an investigation into the Chicago Police Departments use of force, especially
deadly force. The announcement
comes after a murder charge was
leveled at officer Jason Van Dyke
following the 2014 shooting of
Laquan McDonald.
Though Van Dyke shot McDonald
in October of 2014, Chicago police
only released the dashcam footage of the shooting in November
of this year after receiving a court
order. The footage depicted Van
Dyke shooting McDonald 16 times
as McDonald attempted to walk
away from the police. The video
contradicted Van Dykes initial
report, which called McDonald a
very serious threat to the officers
who refused to comply with orders
to drop his knife.
Chicagos Police Superintendent
Garry F. McCarthy was fired a week
after the videos were released, and
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has
been under increased scrutiny from
activists who feel authorities were
attempting to cover up the incident.

New highway bill provides
funding for Reno-Vegas highway
extension
Congress passed a $305-billion
highway bill on Friday that includes
federal funds for the proposed
Interstate 11, which would link Reno
and Las Vegas, according to the Reno
Gazette-Journal.
While specifics of the plan remain
murky, state officials are optimistic.
Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., called the
bill a boon for the state as it provides
critical infrastructure that would
otherwise be unavailable to the
state.

SENATE RECAP
DEC. 2
By Maddison Cervantes
LEGISLATION
SB 83 An Act to Complete
Senate Reapportionment for the
84th and 85th Sessions
Speaker of the Senate Nick Andrews stated that according to the
Statutes of the Associated Students,
the Huntington-Hill Method of Equal
Proportions, a method that rounds at
the geometric mean, is the suitable
method of apportionment for the
next two sessions of the Associated
Students of the University of Nevadas
senate.
Andrews explained that while there
are numerous methods to reapportion a certain number of seats
to a certain number of people, the
Huntington-Hill Method is required
by the SAS and is also used by the U.S.
Congress.
Attorney General Ryan Hood
informed the senators that it is not
their duty to approve the method of
apportionment. The SAS states that
ASUN President Caden Fabbi essentially needs to provide the senate with
an apportionment outcome from a
given method. Though the numbers
that resulted from the method may
have worked out unfairly in some colleges, Hood stated that HuntingtonHill is still a reliable method.
Andrew further explained that
while Fabbi sets the outcome, the
senate has sole responsibility for lawfully changing apportionment rules,
which was the original intention of
the bill.
James Beatty, associate director
for student engagement, explained
that there are a total of six main
methods used worldwide and that he
was unsure if another method would
actually change the apportionment.
Every college gets one initial seat,
after which more seats are given out
based on the geometric mean.
Only one senator opposed the bill.
SB 83 An Act to Change the
Department of Programming in the
SAS
Sen. Emilia Carro began discussing
some of the main changes sought
within the Department of Programming. She stated that the department
wanted a more consistent and clear
name. Instead of Programming, the
department name would be Event
Programming to keep students from
thinking that the department were
computer-related.
Carro also said that the department
desires the number of programmers
to be expanded from six to eight.
Statucki explained that years back,
the programming board was split
into three different departments.
Back then, there were almost 20
individuals among the departments
planning the universitys events. This
total has been brought down to one
department with six programmers.
By adding two more students to the
department, it would allow the programmers to mutually work on event
planning, rather than individually.
Statucki stated that the change
would not go into effect until the
following year due to the budget, but
both the departments advisor and
the assistant programming director
agreed that the change was necessary.
Additionally, the assistant director
position has been divided in two. One
role is now over finance and budget,
while the other is focused on marketing and internship.
Statucki said that the two positions
have evolved into a fairly good balance throughout the semester.
The motion carried unanimously.

HOW WE KNOW IT
Initial coverage of the assault was subdued, if only because authorities had so
little information upfront. Everything
from the number of shooters, the nature
of the attack, the motivation behind the
attack and the location of the shooters
was a complete unknown.
Thus, in the days following the attack,
information leaked slowly. It was not
until Friday, Dec. 4, that the FBI began
officially describing its probe as a terror investigation. Prior to the switch,

After almost two years in the
studio, Adeles third album, 25,
was released on Nov. 20 through
XL Recordings. The British songstress sold a record-breaking
4.49 million albums in the first
two weeks of its release, signaling 25 as a mainstream success. 25 comes four years after
Adeles 2011 album, 21, which
featured hit songs Rolling in the
Deep, Rumour Has It and Set
Fire to the Rain.
A month prior to the albums
release was the release of the
single Hello, which is also the
first track on Adeles new album.
Hello took the world by storm
and was accompanied by a
heart-wrenching music video
that now has 607 million views
on YouTube.
The latest album by the European talent does not do much
by way of progression, causing
25 to sound more like a sequel
to 21 rather than a stand-alone
album. This similarity could
be due to the success 21 saw:
The sophomore album won the
2012 Grammy for Best Album
of the Year. Songs Hello and
When We Were Young from
25 sound like B sides to 21,
yet many pop culture outlets are
celebrating Adeles new album.
Rolling Stone even called it an
unparalleled success.
In spite of all the applause,
Adeles latest album fails creatively. 25 does not sound any
different from its predecessors,
19 and 21, even following
the same name and cover art
pattern. Out of all 11 songs, I
Miss You stands out the most.
This track features a deviation
from Adeles typical ballad and
houses more of a refreshingly
upbeat tempo. However, I Miss
You does carry through with the
theme of heartbreak and despair,
much like the rest of the album.
Even though the album follows Adeles common thread
of romantic heartbreak, Adele
sings of home in the song River
Lea. River Lea is a large river in
London, where Adele was raised.
While not necessarily about a
person, River Lea is about the
heartbreak of leaving home. I
Album Review

Adele
Release Date: Nov. 20
Genre: Pop
grew up by the River Lea Oh,
I cant go back but the reeds are
growing out of my fingertips,
sings Adele.
The imagery in River Lea
makes way for a commonly
shared nostalgia, breaking away
from the theme of heartbreak
seen in Love in the Dark and
Sweetest Devotion. While
Adeles new album tends to be
about love, contrary to 21,
25 shows Adele bouncing back
from heartbreak rather than
suffering. In Water Under the
Bridge, Adele accepts sorrow by
singing, If youre going to let me
down, let me down gently.
Adeles new album definitely
puts her back in the spotlight,
but does nothing to differentiate
her from any other mainstream
pop artist artists like Lana Del
Rey and Florence + the Machine
share so many commonalities with Adele. With plenty of
unique talent, it seems almost
tragic that Adele maintains the
same cookie-cutter presence as
before. The album is beautifully
bland: an 11-tracked masterpiece that can possibly do nothing more than satisfy those who
were already a fan of Adele.

against violence and sexual assault

women to feel safer by being aware
of the problem. All men can help
end rape culture, and ultimately
sexual assault and rape, by educating themselves and becoming a
proactive part of the solution.

Im sorry that you were raised in a

our society has objectified you and
has made you feel unimportant.
You are worthy of safety. Its not
that you just deserve it; its a right
of every human being to feel safe
where they live.
Men, it is not enough to be outraged by the current climate where
women often live in constant fear
of sexual assault or violent acts. We
must take action. Be aware of how
your presence can make others feel.
Listen to women when they express
their opinions, fears or concerns.
Speak up when someone jokes
about sexual assault. Understand

we contribute to the problem, but
that doesnt mean we are contributing to the solution.

ORANGE BOWL
CLEMSON VS. OKLAHOMA
If you like points in bunches, then youre
going to love this matchup. Oklahoma
quarterback Baker Mayfield leads an
offense that averages 46 points per game.
Clemson isnt a slouch when it comes to
point either; averaging 38 points per game
behind Heisman hopeful quarterback
Deshaun Watson. Expect a shootout in
Miami New Years Eve.
PREDICTION

sacks will lead a very young, but talented,
front seven in perusing Mayfield. Mayfield

is a winner.
On the flip side, Alabama quarterback
Jake Coker has had an interesting road
up to now. After losing the starting job to
future No. 1 overall pick Jamis Winston
at Florida State, Coker transferred to
Alabama only to lose the starting job again
to Blake Sims. In his senior season, Coker
has been solid for the Tide, but has the
benefit of running back Derrick Henry
carrying the ball 339 times this season
for 1,986 yards and 23 touchdowns. If
Michigan State can slow down Henry,
Coker will have to make plays without the
benefit of play action.
PREDICTION
No one is picking Michigan State
because of the allure of the SEC that
Alabama has been riding this season. Im
going against the grain here and going
with Michigan State because of Cook. The
difference between both of these teams is
quarterback play. Cook is a projected firstround draft pick who has been a three-year
starter, while Coker is above average. Is
Coker as a legit NFL prospect? No way.
Cook is the key in this game and with
about three weeks to heal his shoulder,
he should be able to come out ready to
go. Michigan State doesnt get enough
credit, but the Spartans will after this win.
Michigan State pulls off the upset.
PREDICTION
Clemson slows down the Spartans running game while Watson makes enough
plays to seal the win. Clemson just has
more athletes on defense than Michigan
State can handle and the Tiger front seven
will give Cook troubles. Clemson has the
12th-rated pass defense and has forced
14 interceptions while only giving up
16 touchdowns. The game will be close
because Clemson has lived on the edge
all season, but the Tigers will continue to
run the ball well with running back Wayne
Gallman. Other than Dabo Swinney hitting
the Nae Nae, this will be the proudest day
in Clemson football history.
