Nanooks volleyball heralds sports season start

There is a buzz about the Alaska Nanooks volleyball team that took to the court Saturday for an intrasquad matchup.

The athletes split up into two teams, Blue and Gold, which went head to head, resulting in a 2-1 victory for Gold.

The Nanooks showed consistency as one of the skills they are developing in their effort to improve upon

their record of 7-48 from the past two seasons under head coach Brian Scott. The Nanooks will be looking for Senior, Sam Harthun, to continue her impressive play going into her last season with Alaska.

The defense was highlighted

by Junior Meagan Olsen, Redshirt Senior Samantha Hesterman, and Redshirt Junior Jordan Ferland who all had double-digit digs for the Nanooks. “Both teams did great on defense,” Scott said.

“All three liberos came up with some really big digs and that was encouraging to see.” Scott said.

“If we can play at a high level on defense, like we did tonight, we are going to frustrate a lot of teams.”

More than 200 people showed up for the exhibition game, which Coach Scott referred to as “encouraging,” after a pattern of low turnouts.

“If this is how we start the season, then we are going to see some great things happen this year in terms of

fan support.” Scott said. “It was a great start to the season and a lot of the credit goes out to the communications and marketing department. They are doing a great job at letting our community know that we are in action and that they should come out and support this team.”

The Nanooks are looking to break onto the scene in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, with everyone trying to fire on all cylinders. The Nanooks are in action this upcoming weekend playing in the Alaska Nanook Classic Volleyball Tournament on Sept. 4-5.

Fairbanks offers outdoor adventures Molly Putman Layout Editor

Winter is coming!

Spencer Tordoff Web Editor

Life in Fairbanks means long, cold winter nights. While this is no surprise to sourdoughs and lifelong residents, it can take its toll on newcomers to our town—incoming UAF freshmen among them. Winter temperatures average below zero from November to March, and can spike as low as negative 50 degrees, making hypothermia and frostbite substantial risks for those unfamiliar with the climate. However, with a bit of knowledge, preparation and a few items of clothing, one can survive (and thrive) in the sub-arctic chill.

Here are some general tips and guidelines to help newcomers make it through the winter.

Tips for Staying Warm in the Interior

Have a Hat and Gloves: Even if you’re planning a quick walk across campus or a short drive, make sure you keep a warm hat and gloves in your backpack or car—it’s better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them.

Boots are Best: In the coldest part of winter, nothing beats a good pair of boots for keeping your feet warm. Wear a well-insulated pair of boots with thick woolen socks for best results. Keep your sneakers in your pack if you want to wear them indoors.

Don’t Overheat: Dress in layers, and take off a layer or two once you get inside. Overheating can cause you to sweat, and that moisture will make it much harder to keep warm.

Avoid Cotton: Though valued

Tweet us! @ uafsunstar

in warm climates for its light, heatresistant qualities, those same attributes make cotton a poor choice for Alaska winters. Wool and synthetic fibers are a safer bet for holding in heat during the winter.

When it comes time to get geared up, budget-conscious students may wish to check the UAF FreeStore, located in the Lola Tilly Commons.

The FreeStore often has winter gear available to be picked up, and accepts donations of used outerware. It is open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Local thrift stores are also good places to find winter gear and equipment that won’t break the bank.

For more information on staying warm through the winter, visit the Department of Recreation, Adventure, and Wellness (DRAW) in the Student Recreation Center, or call them at (907) 474-5886.

While the entire state of Alaska is famous for it’s wildlife and scenery, right here in Fairbanks there are many excellent and accessible hiking and backpacking trails of all lengths. With the Granite Tors, Angel Rocks, Chena Dome, and more; the Chena River State Recreation Area alone has a wide selection of adventures to partake.

Torres was ultimately hobbled (his feet and hands tied together behind his back) to prevent injury to himself or responding officers.

He was transported to FCC and charged.

ASUAF aims to give back to students Lida Zakurdaew Sun Star

Incoming Vice President Colby Freel believes that the time has come to give back to the students the student government fee we pay each semester.

Every semester students pay a $42 student government fee. The proceeds are allocated to any number of projects during the school year. However, not all funds end up being spent. Thus, ASUAF ends up with an account full of leftover funds, which at this point is valued at just under $200,000,

according to ASUAF advisor and office manager Anne Williamson.

Freel would like to put more of these rollover funds to use for the benefit of UAF students by focusing on giving more funding to student clubs and student travel expenses. The Vice President will also be devoting his time this semester to restructuring the Club Council in an effort to promote equal representation of all UAF clubs.

Adventures If you travel north of Fox there are many trails in the White Mountains National Recreation Area, with 15 different public use cabins that can be reserved ahead of time. Wickersham Dome and Summit Trail also offer access to excellent day and overnight hikes.

There are options even for students without reliable transportation, as the UAF Trail system sports over 25 miles of multipurpose trails, although some are too wet for summer use. In addition to this, the UAF Department of Recreation, Adventure, and Wellness (DRAW) provides a variety of resources to students, including equipment rentals and guided trips. Tents, backpacks, sleeping bags, sleeping pads and trekking poles are some of the equipment DRAW offers for rent.

Angel Rocks Trail - 3.5 miles round trip to the rock outcroppings and back - 8.3 miles to Chena Hot Springs Resort.

- Located at milepost 48.9 Chena Hot Springs Road One of the most popular trails in the Chena Hot Springs Recreation area, the 3.5 mile hike to the rocks and back is an excellent day trip. If hikers are looking for a longer hike, they can continue and take the 8.3 mile trail to Chena Hot Springs Resort and luxuriate in hot tubs afterward. With an elevation gain of about 2,000 feet and over eight miles of path, this trail can be fairly tough so it is good to leave early and pack a lunch and plenty of water if you go the full

length. DRAW’s Outdoor Adventures organization is leading a guided trip for this hike on Sept. 5, 2015. Outdoor Adventures can be contacted at (907) 474-6027 and students can sign up starting September 3. The price is $60 and includes transportation, trip leaders, use of Outdoor Adventures equipment and a pool pass.

Granite Tors - 15 miles round trip - Located at milepost 39 Chena Hot Springs Road Like Angel Rocks, the Granite Tors trail provides viewing of massive rock formations, however this trail is more suitable for a two day backpacking trip. The trail has an elevation gain of 2,900 feet, and certain segments can be brutal for out of shape or new hikers. There is a simple cabin shelter located seven miles in when starting on the east trail, which is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Chena Dome Trail - 30 miles round trip - Located at milepost 50.5 Chena Hot Springs Road Thirty miles long, with a total elevation gain of 8,300 feet, Chena Dome Trail is a strenuous hike recommended for a two to four day backpacking trip. A little over eight miles in is the location of military airplane crash from the 1950s. The trail follows tundra ridgetops as it circles the Angel Creek drainage. In bad weather it can become difficult

to follow the rock cairns marking the trail, so hikers are encouraged to be cautious as weather can change quickly. The trail is also open to mountain bikes and horses.

Lee’s cabin (Wickersham Creek Trail) - Seven miles to the cabin, 14 miles round trip - Located at milepost 28 on the Elliott Highway Lee’s cabin is one of the 15 publicuse cabins available in the White Mountains National Recreation Area.

The trail is uphill on the way to the cabin, but has very little elevation change making it one of the easier hikes on this list. Lee’s cabin can sleep six people comfortably, and like the rest of the cabins it comes equipped

with bunk beds, table, benches, cook stove, lantern, fire extinguisher, saw, ax, broom, wood stove and outhouse.

The cabin can be reserved through the Bureau of Land Management by going to the the Fairbanks District Office at 1150 University Avenue.

Although hiking can be a rewarding and healthy pastime, Fairbanks weather can turn ugly and Alaskan wildlife can pose dangers to hikers. The State of Alaska Division of Parks and Recreation recommends packing insect repellent and plenty of water as well as carrying warm clothes and rain gear regardless of what the weather may be when you leave. It is also important to wear suitable footwear and let someone know what time you plan to return from your trip and where you are going, as well as to make plenty of noise to deter bears.

Leadership, Involvement, Volunteer Experience office has big plans for school year Kyrie Long Copy Editor

The UAF campus is home to many clubs and traditions. Located in the Wood Center is UAF LIVE (Leadership Involvement Volunteer Experience). From aerial arts to Humans vs. Zombies, the oncampus office is dedicated to aiding student clubs and organizations.

“One of our biggest responsibilities is that we house 140 plus student organizations,” Josh Hovis, the Assistant Coordinator of Student Organizations at LIVE, said. Workshops, book clubs, movie nights, student clubs, and volunteer opportunities are just a few examples of the activities LIVE oversees.

This year, the office is introducing OrgSync. OrgSync is a social media platform, a way to be connected to resources. Through it, a student can sign up for text and email alerts when student organizations are hosting events they are interested in. The app is also connected to the UAF calendar for student convenience, and will be available for use by student organizations and larger campus offices, like Residence Life. It even has a search engine A member of the Kendama Club practices landing the ball during a meeting. The Kendama Club is one of many organizations which exists under LIVE.- Katherine Stark / Sun Star

which allows student to look for specified scholarship opportunities.

Hovis is eagerly anticipating introducing OrgSync and about the effect it will have on student activity. “It’s going to be their connection to campus,” Hovis said.

The LIVE office also looks forward to Traditions this school year. The office is known for their recruitment for volunteer activities.

Each year the office recruits students for volunteer opportunities on - and off-campus. These opportunities include trips to Fairbanks shelters and food banks, and work at UAF helping put on events and activities.

The LIVE office annually hosts an Alternative Spring Break Trip.

According to Hovis, the Alternative Spring Break is “Student-led and student-funded.” The trip offers about a dozen students the opportunity to volunteer in a location outside of Alaska. Locations are chosen by student leads and have, in the past, included New Orleans, Washington D.C., and Costa Rica.

The office hosts these clubs, services and more for those who wish to engage in campus activities. The LIVE office is located in the Wood Center, and is open to all students.

Student status scores Fairbanks-wide transportation Spencer Tordoff Web Editor

For new UAF students living on campus, especially those without access to a car, getting around Fairbanks can be daunting. But there’s no need to befriend (and then harass) someone with a car just to get where you need to go. Free transportation options for UAF students can get you to destinations onand off-campus in safety and comfort.

Need to get to class, but don’t want to hike outside when it gets cold? The UAF shuttle bus can get you across campus quickly without forcing you to brave the cold. The Yukon route travels between Wood Center and West Ridge from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, with stops at Reichardt and the MBS complex. Other routes provide access to the Nenana parking lot, Patty Center, and other student housing, and special service is provided to and from UAF hockey home games at the Carlson Center.

Shuttle locations and time estimates can be found at uafshuttle. com and displayed at shuttle stations.

More infor mation about UAF shuttle routes and runtimes can be found at the UAF Facilities Services website, or by calling (907) 474-7433.

Getting off campus can be a little bit trickier, but there’s good news—your PolarExpress card grants you free access to the Fairbanks Metropolitan Area Commuter System (MACS). Buses run Monday through Friday, with reduced service on Saturdays and no coverage Sundays.

The Yellow line provides hourly service between the UAF Wood Center and Fred Meyer West. Also of note are the Red and Blue lines, which can take riders to the Johansen commercial district and downtown Fairbanks. Bus route information can be found at the Wood Center bus station on Yukon Drive, while full route information and real-time status updates can be found at the MACS website.

With these options, there’s no reason to stay cooped up all winter. Make sure to get out, see the sights, and stock up on dorm room necessities—while you give your friend with a car the day off.

UAF Students utiliize the new bus route that was created in fall 2014. MACS buses are a good option for students who need to get off-campus. - Travis Olsen / Sun Star

Letter from the Editor Welcome, new and returning students and staff. Welcome parents, leaving your first freshman with us, dropping off another child, or watching your last baby leave home.

If you've picked this issue up off a rack on campus or in Fairbanks, welcome to the new school year. And whatever your affiliation to UAF may be, THANK YOU for engaging with us today by grabbing a paper.

I am sincerely looking forward to earning your engagement this year by helping the Sun Star produce relevant, quality news each week. We are doing our best to be a resource for all members of the UAF community, from student to system president, by recognizing good

works and ensuring that the public has a chance to consider and discuss change before it is implemented.

We hold people accountable.

It is often overlooked that if journalists like those at the Sun Star achieve this end, the community those journalists exist within improves.

We become better informed and better able to take action that is in our best interest. If we, the small number of students in this office, do our jobs well, the organizations, administrations and institutions at UAF have to do their jobs a little better.

As we enter into the fall semester, I want to thank you for your involvement

in this process. Thank you for picking up a copy of this paper today. Thank you for searching for news on our website, and for joining us on social media. Thanks for your letters to the editor, story ideas, interviews, comments, photos and feedback.

Thank you for engaging with us.

Yo u r e n g a g e m e n t h e l p s us make a difference. I look forward to working with you.
