Accreditation evaluation sparks Art Dept. to show off

EVAN WESTERFIELD Journalist

The National Association of Schools of Art and Design, or NASAD, is evaluating the Art Department for accreditation this week.

The Public Affairs and Arts building has become a temporary display gallery for student work collected over the last few years.

“We were first accredited in 2003,"said professor Richard Young, chair of the Art Department. "Since that time we have worked to adhere to NASAD standards regarding curriculum, facilities, safety, finances, class size, and library.”

The NASAD is the association responsible for all art and design curriculum, as recognized by the Idaho Department of Education. It accredits educational programs in art and design, and established curricular standards for specific degrees and credentials.

The requirements Young refers to can be found in the NASAD Handbook, which dictates the minimum standards institutions and programs must meet to remain accredited.

Most of the basic guide-

lines set out in the Handbook are simple. For example, it requires a program to have library space and the resources appropriate to an educational program.

“Faculty have been working on the self-study for over two and a half years,” Young said. The self-study is interinstitutional, which means this study was conducted by the department itself.

In preparation for the review the Art Department had to produce a comprehensive effort on the part of the institution to evaluate the program’s objectives. Young said the self-study is an analytical evaluation of the program, with a format and structure established by the NASAD. The process of accreditation is a system for academic review. It periodically evaluates and produces independent judgments by peers about the extent to which a program achieves its educational objectives and meets the standards set by the NASAD. By receiving accreditation, a program states agreement with a set of standards and procedures, indicating the program’s ability to upholding of external criteria.

“The visiting evaluators will be looking at student work

from all classes and at all levels,” Young said. “The evaluators will analyze the self study; (they will) compare the information to a series of onsite interviews with students, staff, faculty and administrators.”

Young asserted from the information in the self-study and gathered during the interviews the evaluators determine whether the pro-

gram meets the standards it sets out.

“The process is very similar to the recent re-accreditation of the University.”

Students can see the art on display for the evaluation. It is up in the halls and classrooms of the PAA building on campus, which is located across from the parking garage on Brady Street beside the MPC Building.

Valley bus system more popular MIKE JOHNSON Journalist

The Treasure Valley’s "ValleyRide" saw a record amount of usage in fiscal year 2009, with 1.4 million riders. This increase happened despite a national decrease in the use of public transportation due to lower gas prices and increased unemployment, according to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA).

“For (ValleyRide) to be seeing a ridership increase in these economic times is definitely bucking the national

trend,” Mantill Williams, spokesperson for the APTA, said.

The Boise area saw a 14.7 percent increase this past year in ridership, the busiest route being route No. 9, which runs on State Street from downtown Boise to Glenwood/Gary Lane. The route served over 200,000 people in the last year.

“People are realizing that the bus routes can work for them,” Larry Pew, operations supervisor for ValleyRide, said.

“They’re realizing that if they can ride transit even 2-3

times a week, it’ll help them save a lot of money and help the environment, not to mention the reduced stress levels of leaving their car at home.”

The Nampa/Caldwell area saw a larger increase, at 22.3 percent.

“With the new bus stop system, people realize they can ride the bus from their neighborhood, and it’s a much cheaper form of transportation,” General manager for the Nampa, Caldwell and Intercounty service area for Valley Regional Transit, Hollie Young said.

Young also attributes the

rise in ridership to an increase in the student population.

“A lot of them (riders) are out of work, so they’re going back to school,” Young said.

ValleyRide allows students from Boise State, the College of Western Idaho, and Boise School District high schools to ride the bus free of charge, with a valid school ID. BSU senior Brett Berning uses ValleyRide frequently.

"I commute either by bike or bus practically every day," Berning said.

He claims ValleyRide would be much more convenient if buses ran later than 6:45 p.m.

KIM KING Journalist Several members walked out of a senate meeting Tuesday rather than participate in a vote involving all official faculty in a decision making process.

The original intent of the special session in the SUB was to approve proposed changes to a State Board of Education policy, further protecting tenure and salaries. A debate over the changes escalated into an argument over the involvement of all faculty and staff, resulting in the walk-out.

The proposed revision addressed the threat of exigency and the need for shared governance.

The American Association of University Professors defines exigency to be “an imminent financial crisis that threatens the survival of the institution as a whole and that cannot be alleviated by less drastic means than the termination of tenured faculty appointments.”

Shared governance implies changing the delegation of authority from the chief executive officer to a procedure allowing for faculty input and formal due process.

Business and Economics College Representative, Gary McCain, opened the discussion by a motion to reject any change to the exigency policy.

“There is no sense to make a revision if we agree with this policy,” he said. “I believe when we write our own institutional policy it will give us more protection than the State Board of Education can provide.”

Drafting an institutional policy to further protect employment is next on the faculty senate agenda. It will clarify and define circumstances of financial crisis, budgetary units, faculty tenure salary ties and reinstatement procedures.

Social Sciences and Public Affairs Representative, Bob McCarl, stated a revision was not required.

“We already have the power and the right to make changes if we feel they are necessary,” he said. “We need to send a message to the State Board that we stand with other universities and we retain the right to move independently - if

we so choose.”

Education Representative, Roger Stewart, presented the alternate viewpoint of going with the proposed changes.

“We have the opportunity to craft our destiny,” he said.

“The cup is half full, not half empty. I have compared the documents and this is a very doable compromise.”

Health Science Sen., Sara Alten, agreed with Stewart and suggested full participation of the senate.

“If we don’t participate, it may happen any way, and it will look like we didn’t care,” she said.

A roll call vote was taken resulting in the majority favoring the proposed change.

Vice President, Lynn Lubamersky, said if they proceeded in changing the policy, faculty members would be upset.

“I think this is too important of an issue and we are too divided as a senate,” she said. “If we can look at this policy, all faculty members should be able to, as well, so they can decide if this will be a good thing for them or not.”

Alten rejected the idea, stating involving faculty members would be unfair.

“This has been a three month process,” she said.

“They don’t have the full background, the e-mails, and all the discussions.”

Ex Officio Sen., Craig Hemmens, disagreed stating faculty members should participate.

“We all have Ph.D.’s,” he said. “We don’t need a trail of e-mails. We can ask the question - do you like it or do you not - it’s that simple.”

Accusations of biased presentations were answered by claims of anti-social behavior as several members left the room.

President Owen McDougal responded to questions regarding quorum, voting by proxy and proper procedure after an attempt to vote by the eight remaining senate members failed.

“We can’t justify this vote based on who is here,” he said.

The next faculty senate meeting is scheduled for Dec. 8, one day prior to the State Board of Education meeting. The possibility of faculty and staff input was effectively eliminated by the senate members walk-out.

Boise State engineering professor receives nearly $1 Million DOE grant for nuclear research Bronco News Maria Mitkova, an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University, has been awarded $973,536 by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP) to fund her research over the next three years.

Mitkova’s project proposes the development, design and testing of a device that would use the unique properties of chalcogenide glass to create a sophisticated radiation sensor. The technology has potential applications in issues ranging from national security to commercial safety.

“I hope the project will open new horizons in radiation control due to the rich-

ness of the effects occurring in chalcogenide glasses. This will give us a chance to cover a huge spectrum of sensing variations from personal radiation detection to control of nuclear waste,” Mitkova said. “I feel very honored to get this grant from the NEUP and perceive it as an important component in assuring the tremendous development in research Boise State

is experiencing now.”

Mitkova received her B.S. in semiconductor materials and devices technology and Ph.D. in technical sciences from the Technological University in Sofia, Bulgaria. After teaching and conducting research at institutions in Bulgaria, Ohio and Arizona, she joined Boise State’s faculty in 2006. She holds six U.S. patents and is co-author

of three books and more than 100 scientific papers.

In fiscal year 2009, the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy consolidated its university support in the NEUP, which administered Mitkova’s award on behalf of the National Nuclear Security Administration Office of Nonproliferation and International Security.

The NEUP supports basic and applied research, human

capital development through fellowships and scholarships, and infrastructure and equipment upgrades for universitybased research reactors and laboratories.

Its programs help universities such as Boise State answer a critical need as the nation moves toward greater use of nuclear energy to meet energy needs and address the global climate crisis.

METH A darker side of Idaho More than 52 percent of Idaho inmates directly attribute meth use to their incarceration.

MELANIE PALMER Journalist

Methamphetamine, more commonly known as meth, ice, crank or speed has become one of Idaho’s most popular drugs. The Idaho Meth Project ranks Idaho fourth in the country for meth use by 12- to 17-yearolds and 18- to 25-year-olds.

Idaho ranks seventh for lifetime meth use by high school students.

Over 12 million Americans have tried meth and it has more than 26 million users world wide with figures growing everyday.

Meth is one of the cheapest drugs to make; it requires only synthetic ingredients, ones that can be easily found at the local pharmacy and hardware store. It can be snorted, smoked, injected or swallowed. One hit, about a fourth of a gram, costs as little as $25. Cocaine video, “The Most Dangerous Drug” states that meth is three and

MCT

a half times more powerful than cocaine and the typical hit can keep the user high anywhere from six to 12 hours.

Users often describe their high as euphoric. Chris, a current BSU student and recovering meth user described his feelings while on meth as an invincible high - he asked that we not use his last name.

“I felt invincible, like nothing could hurt me. I’ve never felt as high,” he said.

An article in PBS’s Frontline explained that the pleasure sensation is caused by the release of dopamine in the brain. Normally our brains work on a reward system, when we do something that causes pleasure, e.g. exercise, ride a roller coaster or even have sex, dopamine is released. When one achieves orgasm our dopamine level rise from 100 units to 200 units.

A meth user will see his or her dopamine level increase from the base level to 1250

units. The human body is not made to handle the massive increase and over time, long term use causes damage.

Along with impairing cognitive function and memory, meth actually changes the user’s brain chemistry.

Over time it destroys the dopamine receptors as well as severely damages the wiring in the brain’s pleasure centers.

Thus making impossible for chronic users to feel pleasure at all, which is why the user requires more and more meth to maintain the same high each time. Studies have shown that with over a year of sobriety, dopamine receptors can be regrown and some of the wiring repaired, but memory loss and motor skills show little or no improvement, and impaired cognitive ability seem to be permanent.

Although the affects of meth can be quite intoxicating, the side effects show a darker side. Users report feeling anxious, paranoid and aggressive. There are also many reported instances where, while high on the drug, users will literally scratch and rip their skin because they have the feeling of bugs crawling over them. Due, in part to the fact that while high on the drug, the user exhibits an increase in aggression, they are more likely to commit a crime.

According to the Idaho Meth Project, during 2007, more than 70 percent of federal drug offenses in Idaho involved methamphetamine.

As early as 2005, Idaho had the highest increase in arrests due to methamphetamine, up 90 percent from the prior year. More than 52 percent of Idaho inmates directly attribute meth use to their incarceration. In Idaho’s county jail, 89 percent of female offenders say that they have a problem with meth. Of that pool of users, 73 percent say that meth is their drug of choice.

Interestingly enough, methamphetamine is a DEA Schedule II drug, meaning it has medicinal properties i.e. a medical use for the treatment of narcolepsy, attention deficit disorders and obesity. Marijuana is listed as a Schedule I drug, classified as having no medical purpose.

Recovering methamphetamine addicts and chronic users have a 3 percent success rate, meaning 97 percent have a relapse. Idaho’s share of meth treatment in the U.S is 2.6 times higher than its relative share of the U.S. population. It’s not just that meth wreaks havoc on the entire body but it sucks users in like no other drug. Attaining sobriety from meth is possibly one of the hardest things imaginable.

“You honestly have no idea how hard it was to get where I am today, becoming sober was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Chris said. “I just got so depressed and the first month was hell. I got sent to a treatment facility in Oregon and they made sure that I didn’t have any access to any sort of drug.” I didn’t know

how addicted I was until I stopped. I mean I would wake up some nights sweating and hyperventilating cause my body just craved it. For the first month I was so tired but I couldn’t sleep.”

Idaho meth facts • Idaho spends between $60 to $102 million annually to incarcerate and treat offenders who admit to having a meth problem. This represents between 32 percent and 55 percent of the Idaho Department of Correction’s total budget.

• Since July 2007, Idaho spent nearly $500,000 per month on methamphetamine-related treatment • This represents over 40% of the state’s total treatment dollars for all other drugs and alcohol • RAND Corporation’s Drug Policy Research Center estimates that the annual total cost of Meth abuse in 2005 to the U.S. is approximately $23.4 billion

Medical analysis in question as experts clash on mammograms COURTESY MCT WASHINGTON – It is a core tenet of the push to improve American medical care and control its cost: Experts should study the effectiveness of treatments and procedures to determine which work best.

That is essentially what the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force did before recommending this week that women in their 40s should no longer get annual mammograms to screen for breast cancer.

And if the health care overhaul now moving through Congress wins final approval, such advisories could become a central element in the nation’s health care system.

But the uproar sparked by the mammogram report, complete with charges of impending rationing, is a harbinger: A potentially revolutionary improvement in the medical system would likely bring controversy, confusion and uncertainty along with it.

Proposed changes to standard medical procedures, even when supported by scientific evidence, almost always challenge the status quo from other experts’ opinions and doctors’ habits to the feelings of patients and the bottom lines of businesses.

Further complicating the problem, opinions may vary among qualified experts And even the most careful evaluations cannot always provide definitive answers questions about what works best for all patients.

“Unfortunately, there is no magic way to make these decisions,” said Dr. Sean Tunis, a former chief medical officer for Medicare and Medicaid in the Bush administration who works on ways of evaluating medical technology.

The problem, Tunis and others experts say, is that leaving these decisions to the marketplace, as the U.S. health care system has done for decades, has not produced very good results, even for patients.

Doctors in one hospital fa-

vored one surgical procedure or drug regimen, while those in another favored something else. Individual insurance companies decided to cover some procedures and not others, often varying their policies from patient to patient.

Even state lawmakers have gotten in on the act, passing hundreds of laws requiring that consumers in their states get particular health benefits such as prostate cancer screening or, in one case, varicose vein treatment.

According to the Council for Affordable Health Insurance, there are now more than

2,000 insurance mandates nationwide.

The variations and the resulting differences in the way that patients are cared for is one of the main reasons that the American health care system is so inefficient, many experts believe.

The United States spends a greater share of its gross domestic product on health care than any other industrialized country, yet ranks near the bottom in many outcome measures such as unnecessary deaths and infant mortality.

A 2003 study by the RAND Corporation found that adults

receive the recommended care for many illnesses only a little more than half of the time. The results were even worse for children.

Obama and his congressional allies have pledged to correct these shortcomings in their health overhaul, in large part by expanding the health care system’s reliance on independent, unbiased institutions to recommend

standards of treatment and develop basic levels of medical coverage.

Those institutions will likely look a lot like the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that evaluated the efficacy of breast cancer screening.

The existing task force is composed of 16 public health specialists, professors and department heads at major medical centers.

ARBITERONLINE.COM

Bitter pill to swallow

Courtesy MCT The health-insurance reform bill passed by the House contains an unnecessary new restriction on abortion that the Senate should eliminate from the legislation.

An amendment sponsored by Reps. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., and Joe Pitts, R-Pa., would go beyond current law, which in most cases prohibits the use of federal funds to pay for abortions. The practical impact of the House bill would be to make it more difficult even for women buying health insurance with their own money to find policies that cover abortion.

Under the House measure, uninsured people would be able to purchase health insurance from private

companies or the government - the so-called public option. Families of four earning $88,000 or less would receive government subsidies.

But the Stupak-Pitts amendment would prohibit anyone with a government subsidy from purchasing an insurance policy that covers abortion. Currently, that restriction applies mainly to women covered by Medicaid, federal employees, and inmates at federal prisons.

Because most customers in the newly created marketplace, or “exchange,” would receive subsidies, it’s unlikely that insurers would offer any plans aimed at nonsubsidized customers that cover abortion services.

The bill would allow people to buy insurance “riders” that cover abor-

tions, but that’s a senseless proposition. Nobody plans on an unwanted pregnancy. In five states that already bar private insurers from covering elective abortions, those riders are difficult to obtain.

It would be more sensible to adopt the requirements of a previous version of the House bill, which would have segregated premium payments and co-pays to allow for coverage of abortions. It would have prohibited tax subsidies from going to pay for the procedure. Seventeen states, including New Jersey, follow a similar approach by using their own funds, not federal matching funds, to cover abortions under Medicaid.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., agreed to this new restriction after she calculated that the bill wouldn’t

pass without it. There was enough pressure from antichoice Democrats to force her hand.

But the health-reform bill also could have been killed by abortionrights supporters, who didn’t want this issue to stop the overall legislation. As the debate returns to the Senate, lawmakers should restore the workable compromise that the House rejected. To allow the House version to become law would be to unduly interfere with decisions best made by women and their physicians.

The fight over abortion shouldn’t thwart health-insurance reform. But neither should a new law to overhaul health care in this country end up further restricting a woman’s right to lawful reproductive health services.

The Weekly Buzz Kill: America’s fast track to socialism

JOSH GAMBLE

Community Manager As you may well know, I fancy myself to be a tad bit liberal. Go figure, right? Well, because I enjoy fact-checking information that I receive via anonymous chain letters (read: I am a commy), I decided to look into this whole socialism thing.

What I found was incredibly, well, reasonable.

Socialism isn’t the gateway system to communism or tyranny. In fact, many countries do it extremely well and seem to enjoy just as much personal freedom as any American does (potentially more, since they aren’t slaves to the insurance companies). The essence of socialism

isn’t government control so much as a shared sense of community and common decency. Basically the way it works is that citizens pay into a pot by way of taxes and then that money is used to improve the quality of life for the rest of the country.

Socialist nations aren’t evil. Really, they aren’t, I promise. Nations such as the United Kingdom, most of the European Union and Canada (America’s hat), all have an integrated and mostly beloved socialist government. Perhaps you haven’t been overseas lately, but they seem to be doing just fine for themselves.

They’ve replaced the conservative standard of “individual responsibility” (a.k.a. the philosophy of “MINE!”) with the radical idea of helping each other when one falls on hard times with medical care and welfare instead of casseroles.

As a result, most of the western world has higher literacy and life expectancy, but lower rates of poverty, crime, homelessness, unemployment, drug use and unnecessary death due to “pre-existing conditions.” After learning all this, I won-

dered why America doesn’t have more socialist policy around. Then I realized that we do.

Raise your hand if you’ve been to public schools. Okay, put it down, you probably look ridiculous. Have you ever called the police or fire department? Do you have a parent or grandparent on Medicare? Do you ever enjoy PBS or free local TV? Do you drive on roads? In Idaho this is sometimes arguable.

Congratulations!

You’re a socialist.

America has a number of socialist services that most people take for granted. Why not take the ability to treat your “hand-gun misfire bullet wounds” for granted too? Can you think of a good reason not to have universal health care? If taxes are raised to do it, you’ll still save money compared to your insurance bill.

The only legitimate fear of socialism is that it will be screwed up by the government.

Okay, fair enough. Look at public education. The problem for some with socialism is that it decreases inequality, which I’m sure certain

members of corporate America and congress would find inconvenient.

America has a truly massive GDP. We should be able to afford to treat our sick and injured. Maybe if we stopped subsidizing successful corporations, spending $1,000,000,000 on housing potheads in prison and giving no-bid, cost-plus (we pay back whatever they spend plus a service fee) contracts to Halliburton, we could scrounge up the money. We might even have enough left over to create jobs via public works projects thereby stimulating the economy, reduce our debt to China and send our kids home with textbooks to do their homework.

Look, I know the Cold War was scary, but it’s been over for close to 20 years. We don’t need to be afraid of socialism. Would you rather see someone you vote for running things or a faceless corporate entity? Just because Michael Moore advocates socialism doesn’t mean you can’t. Trust me, I find him just as obnoxious as everyone else does, but socialism isn’t evil.

Richard Nixon is.

Editor Usually I pick up a copy of the Arbiter to get me through my 7:40 class. But this past Thursday morning when I read the headline “President Bob Kustra echoes philosophy of Robin Hood” I wanted to skip that class and go have a word with Mr. Kustra. When commenting on Boise State’s solution to the lack of grant dollars available for Idaho students Kustra said, “What do we do? We take from those (students) who can afford and redistribute to those who need it.” I could hardly believe what I was reading, did he seriously say we need to takemoney from one student and give it to another? As I read more it got better. When asked about double digit tuition increase Kustra said, “If we increase tuition by double digits it must be returned to need-based students.” At this point the philosophy of Kustra ceased to echo that of Robin Hood and sounded more like Karl Marx.

In the four years I have attended Boise State University I have never questioned the integrity of President Kustra until now. Not only does he want to take from the “haves” and give to the “have-nots” he’s proud of the fact that he can accomplish this as he says “…quietly as public institutions and without fanfare.”

It is not ethical to make a hard working student pay more in tuition and then turn around and give his or her hard earned dollars to a “need-based” student. A student pays tuition for THEIR education not somebody else’s. If students want to give to the general scholarship fund they should do so out of their own free will instead of being forced to by university administration.

I end with a thought provoking quote from Howard W. Hunter, “Both have lost their freedom. Those who “have,” lost their freedom to give voluntarily of their own free will and in the way they desire. Those who “have not,” lost their freedom because they did not earn what they received. They got “something for nothing,” and they will neither appreciate the gift nor the giver of the gift.” Why in the world would Kustra submit university students to such a lose lose situation?

Boise State establishes itself in world of college hockey JOSH RASMUSSEN Media Manager

Boise State University football may make national headlines, and the women’s soccer players may call themselves Western Athletic Conference Champions, but none of their accomplishments came on ice.

The BSU hockey club, however, is in full swing, taking the ice by storm and has already played 13 of its 38 games this season.

Club president and team captain Dalton Smith, and his father, Lee, claim responsibility for starting the club 3 years ago.

“A lot of these kids came up together and want to play hockey,” Lee says. “They had nowhere else to go.”

It’s no small project to start a club either. It takes more than $40,000 yearly to play a full season. Lee is no longer designated the head coach though he handled those duties for the first two seasons.

“I basically dumped my American Express into the first year just to prove we were serious,” Lee says.

To make matters more difficult, head coach Ken Beaudreau, in his first year coaching the Broncos, says, “I volunteer. The parents volun-

The transition from the collegiate level to the professional level can be a reality shock for most athletes, this however, is not the case for Steelheads goalie Richard Bachman. Bachman is a top prospect for the Dallas Stars who managed to pick up a win in his professional debut in a 3 – 2 victory over the Stockton Thunder on October 18th.

Bachman competed at the NCAA Division-I level while playing at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. In his first year of collegiate competition Bachman had an impressive year, winning 25 of 35 games with a sub-2.00 goals allowed average and .931 save percentage.

With this outstanding season, Bachman was able to collect numerous awards which included Western College Hockey Association Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors.

The Dallas Stars immediately noticed Bachman’s potential and made him their 4th round pick (120th overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Level draft.

He adds, “We’re always looking for sponsors. We’re always looking for support.”

The Broncos play as part of the ACHA (American College Hockey Association) in division II. The Broncos may play DII, but a DII hockey team doesn’t carry the same second-tier connotation as

a DII football or basketball team. Other notable ACHA DII teams include Harvard, Ohio State University, New York University, Virginia Tech University, Arizona State University and the University of Idaho.

The rules most closely compare to those of the NCAA. Players must wear a full-cage on their helmets and fighting is forbidden. That doesn’t

mean fights don’t happen.

The penalty is an automatic ejection with a 1-game suspension as well as a 5-minute major another member of the team must serve during the game.

Like many sports, hockey demands a great deal from its players. To keep eligibility,

better and are smarter on the ice,” the 22-year-old said about the major difference between collegiate and professional competition.

Even with the increased talent of opposing players Bachman was able to show off his own skills by earning the East Coast Hockey League Goaltender of the Week honor for his outstanding performance in a three game set versus the Alaska Aces.

In the three game set Bachman accounted for two of the Steelheads wins and stopped more than 90 percent of the shots on goal.

The superior play of Bachman is no coincidence since hockey has been his passion since he was little.

“Yes, I have always loved [hockey] more then any other sport,” Bachman said. “I was really into baseball when I was a kid too.”

Bachman’s passion was sparked after watching Patrick Roy lead his team to a Stanley Cup victory while playing for the Colorado Avalanche in 1996.

Playing hockey is in Bachman’s blood and the only thing that is on his mind right now. Bachman’s response to what he would be doing if he were not playing hockey,

to you: To whom it may concern BRITTNEY JOHNSON Community Manager

Dear - “insert big time school name here,” I know your football team is struggling right now and you’ve almost or already have fired that big money coach of yours. You know, the one that was supposed to bring you BCS games, National Championships and winning seasons.

I understand that you are on an extremely competitive hunt for a winner of a coach, someone that will lead your team, inspire you players and actually win. You are searching for a classy coach to please your boosters and make your community and team supporters happy. All of the traits mentioned and more, narrow down the search and on the short list of candidates is Boise State’s Chris Petersen.

Well, back off of Coach Pete!

I’m not even going to try to find negatives to turn you away from courting the football god’s gift to Boise State, because frankly, anyone would be hard pressed to find a valid reason not to go after Coach Pete. I’ll just say what most Bronco fans are thinking: leave our coach alone.

You may be able to come to Boise and wave a bunch of dollars in Coach Pete’s face. You may be able to come here with promises of five star recruits and extremely generous, wonderful boosters. You may be able to come here and brag about your football program’s proud tradition. Well, I hate to break it to you, Coach Pete is not interested; or at least that is what we would all like to full heartedly believe.

We all can admit that we, as fans, have been preparing for this since the massive 2007 Fiesta

Bowl win and the fuel to the fire has continued as the 10 win seasons keep coming. It would be rather nice to go through one winter where we don’t have to worry about which school just fired its coach and if Coach Pete’s a candidate.

Every year, no matter how much we tell ourselves and the others like us that we don’t have to worry, we are constantly on the edge of our seats, waiting for that dreadful day where we will hear the news that Coach Pete is leaving us.

Maybe Coach Pete will stick around and be Boise State’s “JoPa” and we can all call him, “ChrisPe.” Or maybe he will leave for a different school when the time is right. So until then please leave our coach and the stress level of Bronco Nation alone!

Sincerely, - “insert Bronco fan’s name here”

Bronco volleyball wraps up regular season BRENDAN SHERRY Journalist

When Boise State women’s volleyball coach Shawn Garus took over before the 2009 season, he wanted his team to be the most improved squad by the end of the year.

As the Broncos wrap up their season, it is fair to say they have reached Garus’ goal.

After a sluggish start the Broncos have battled back into contention and are prepared to take on the Western Athletic Conference Tournament.

The Broncos can credit the work ethic and the player’s never-die attitude to this season’s resurgence. This year the Broncos continued to fight even when things

“Beating Idaho here was really a turning point for us”

— Head coach Shawn Garus

weren’t going their way and the new coaching staff can take some of that credit.

“Things have been a lot more stable this year,” senior defensive specialist Kati Lewis said. “We are a lot more structured as a team.”

The Broncos could have given in and blamed new faces and a new system to their slow start at the beginning of the year. Instead, they put their time in at the gym and continued to improve

every week, despite starting the season off with 11 straight losses. Although they had a conference win against San Jose State University, it wasn’t until the home win against the University of Idaho when the Broncos began to see the results of their hard work.

“Beating Idaho here was really a turning point for us,” Garus said. “We came out and played a really good match against a solid Idaho team. I think that it gave everybody the confidence that what we were doing day-in and day-out was working, and if we stuck to it, we would start winning matches.”

Following the win against

Bronco wrestling looks to take program to next level MATT BEDINGER Journalist

Bronco’ s heavyweight senior Sam Zylstra works for inside position against an opponent last season.

The Boise State wrestling team starts out this season ranked in the top 10 in various preseason polls. The team that sent nine individuals to nationals last year and broke a Pac-10 tournament scoring record looks to improve upon those number.

Expectations have may never been higher for the Broncos and head coach Greg Randall likes it that way.

“You just can’t believe you’re a top ten program,” Randall said. “That means you’ve got to believe you’re better than the top ten. You’re always trying to get better.

We’ve been in the top ten before. We’ve been really close last year and right now it’s just not good enough especially with the talent we have here and how hard these guys have been working. If we finish tenth this year, you would

“You have to set your goals not just to win the Pac 10, but to dominate” — Head coach Greg Randall probably consider it a failure.”

As always, Boise State will face tough competition in the Pac 10. This year, Randall believes his main two competitors will be Oregon State and Arizona State. Other than Pac 10 competition, the Broncos will take part in national duals on January 9-10 in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The national duals should provide a good indicator of how much work the Broncos need to do in order to be well positioned when the NCAA Championships roll around in mid-March.

“If you look at the Pac 10, Oregon State’s going to be probably a solid second and Arizona State probably right behind them. Maybe Stan-

ford and Cal Poly. You have to set your goals not just to win the Pac 10, but to dominate and possibly put ten guys in the finals and hopefully have ten champs,” Randall said.

“Other dual meets, you’ve got to look at the national duals.

Iowa, Iowa State, Cornell College, Ohio State, Minnesota, they’re all going to be there.

That’s going to be a big tournament for us. It will probably set the stage for where we are as we head into the season.”

Individually speaking, Randall thinks there are three guys on this team that could compete for a national title.

“We’re looking at Andrew Hochstrasser, Adam Hall and Kirk Smith. They could all

be in the finals. It’s going to be a tough road to get there but once you’re there, you never know what’s going to happen. Potentially, those guys could be in the finals this year; there’s no doubt in my mind. As the season goes along, we’ll see where they are,” Randall said.

Nationals are a long way off, and for that to happen, things will have to go smoothly for Hochstrasser, Hall and Smith.

“Stay healthy. That’s the main thing,” Randall emphasized. “I think last year we lost a few guys and maybe they weren’t 100 percent going into the NCAA tournament and I think that’s a big deal if you stay healthy throughout the year and not miss any training periods. If we can keep all of our guys healthy throughout the year, we’re

Hockey [Sports page 5] each student must be a fulltime, degree-seeking, with a minimum of nine credits and maintain a 2.0 GPA. “It’s definitely been taking its toll on the whole team with grades, being gone every single weekend,” Dalton says.

“It’s definitely intense. I don’t think somebody could hold a full-time job, go to school and play for a team. I personally don’t think it’s possible.”

But the reward is worth it to the players, most of whom grew up playing hockey. They manage themselves like any other hockey team.

“We don’t really allow any kind of drama between the players,” Dalton says. “Everyone shows a certain amount of respect for each other.”

BSU junior and 3-yearveteran of the WHL (Western Hockey League) Aaron Roberge’s several-team, multiple-league, hockey career came to an end 3 years ago in Canada but he maintains a love for the sport. Because of a by-law disallowing players with professional experience (WHL included) to play college hockey, he is ineligible to play with the Broncos

but practiced with them a few times prior to receiving the news. The ACHA is not the WHL but some things never change.

“When I stopped playing hockey, I took a good, couple years off so … ya know how it is with guys on hockey teams -- everyone’s really good, close friends,” Roberge says, “and there’s good camaraderie and everyone seems to get along. You get a feeling of being on a team and being with a group of guys who like to have fun and compete together.”

While athletes are often most-known through their sports, they are still responsible for daily life.

“Everything that happens at Boise State, the club sports, the varsity sanctioned sports -- all of it’s important,” Ken says, “They’re all student athletes. These are people who are putting an enormous amount of time into their game, practice, school work and trying to get a degree.

To me, they’re the finest of the finest.”

Ken has been coaching for 15 years at a variety of levels

“The game is almost secondary to what we’re trying to do, which is make better men out of them – get them ready for the world.”

— Head coach Ken Beaudreau in multiple leagues including Peewees, Bantam, U-18 and the Idaho Rattlers. Youth soccer and YMCA roller hockey also help account for his coaching history.

“The game is almost secondary to what we’re trying to do,” he says, “which is make better men out of them -- get them ready for the world.”

Ken’s son Dan Beaudreau, also the club vice president, serves as a 6’, 220-pound goalie for the Broncos. Coaching him has been really easy according to Ken. “I’ve coached him for so many years and so many different teams that when we’re on the ice, he’s not my son and I’m not his father. We have kind of zoned that out, because I don’t understand goalies. They’re a totally different breed than anybody else. You’ve got to let him be who he is and trust him.”

Boise State’s popular ‘Beat Pete’ race garners award Courtesy Boise State News Boise State University’s popular Beat Coach Pete Scholarship Run received the 2009 Innovative Program Award from the Western Region of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA).

Lisa Stuppy, associate director for Campus Recreation and race director, accepted the award at the association’s annual meeting in San Jose, Calif.

The award is presented to an institution or individual that has developed and implemented an outstanding program that furthers the growth of the students and enhances life on campus.

The annual Beat Pete race is sponsored by Campus Recreation, in conjunction with the Division of Student Affairs and the Department of Athletics. Students, staff, faculty and community

members are invited to race against football coach Chris Petersen in a three-mile run along the Boise Greenbelt.

Participants who best Petersen’s time receive an “I Beat Pete” T-shirt. In addition, Coach Pete personally donates $5 to the scholarship fund for each runner who finishes ahead of him.

Both years, he upped his donation tremendously — in 2008 to $2,000 and in 2009 to $5,000. All proceeds of the race go directly to the general scholarship fund and are dedicated to need-based scholarships and emergency funding for students. The funds are generally distributed after initial financial aid awards go out, helping students that have not received traditional funding.

“It’s wonderful that Boise State is being recognized for this innovative event that not only unites the campus and community, but also ben-

The Broncos have a 23man roster including former Idaho Junior Steelheads forwards Kevin Costello and Tyson Barnes and former Junior Steelheads AA defenseman Blake Englund. Boise is listed as the hometown for 13 of the 23 players.

A couple of the more-experience players are Dalton and brother Cortland Smith who combined for 54 of the team’s159 points in the 2008-2009 regular season.

Cortland gets credit for leading the team in both goals (12) and assists (20) last season though he was followed closely by Dalton who tallied 11 of each.

Dalton’s hockey resume includes time with the Columbus Blue Jackets Midget Major AAA, an affiliate of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets.

The club doesn’t only benefit players and fans. It also gives medical staff a chance to familiarize themselves with a new sport and learn its challenges.

The first two years of the race have resulted in $33,000 in donations to the Boise State general scholarship fund, and organizers are looking forward to the third annual event on April 10, 2010.

Season

[Sports page 6] Idaho, the Broncos began playing like a completely different team. They started playing better as a squad and displayed a desire to win.

“We started getting wins and dominating,” senior libero Jeanene Rose said. “We were taking people out in three games and were able to keep it up and build our confidence.”

The Broncos have been able to maintain that confidence through the rest of the season.

Heading into Thursday’s rematch against the University of Idaho, Boise State is fourth in the WAC. Depending on how things play out this week, the Broncos could go into the tournament as high as a four seed, or as low as a sixth seed.

For a team that was picked to finish near the bottom of the conference at beginning of the year, a birth to the WAC Championship Tournament is a notable accomplishment.

However, the Broncos - especially the seniors - don’t want to settle with what they have already accomplished.

“I don’t want our team to settle, I would rather go out with a bang,” Rose said.

T

here was a city in India called Tehri, established upon the banks of the Bhagirathi and Bhilangana Rivers. This city came into existence as a traveling king's horse came to rest upon a hill, refusing to go any farther, therefore establishing Tehri as his new kingdom.

Over time, the kingship government turned into a people's council, with the culture of Tehri thriving throughout its growth. That vibrant city is now rubble submerged under the river it used to gaze upon.

On Monday night, the Visual Arts Collective hosted the showing of the film "Shadows of Tehri." Anirban Dutta, a media educator, social activist and photographer based in Dehli, India, directed the film. He was brought to Boise State as part of the Art Department's Visiting Artist and Scholars Program, and will

be speaking in a free, public lecture Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. in the Simplot Ballroom A. The film "Shadows" is a documentary peering into the spirit of "Old Tehri." The adjective "old" has been added because the government has attempted to recreate the town with "New Tehri," located in a distant region, far removed from any water body. Anirban was originally requested by the Uttaranchal government to create a documentary of the construction the Tehri Dam, a movie to be used to promote the project.

"I did not make the film they wanted me to make. The government wanted to show how great their dam was," Dutta said. "I made this film for the people losing their homes."

"Shadows" is a visual journey carried by testimonies of various elders who lived there, as well as traditional folk music from the region.

The audience is immersed in the environment of Old Tehri,

Bulldozers were brought into level structures, from homes to businesses and schools. The footage strolls through the ruined streets that appear obliterated as if by a great war or natural disaster. However, this damage was intentional and forced

citizens to leave because there was little left.

"It was a window to a place I would never have seen in America, the imagery was amazing," said Willow Socia, a fine arts major. "America is a small portion of the world, but so unaware of places like this."

The premier of "Shadows" was first shown in New Tehri, where many "Old Tehri" residents were relocated.

"I felt connected, even though I have never been to this place," Tudor Mitroi, art instructor said. "The atmosphere was beautiful, but scary."

Anirban said about 600 people came out to watch the film and see their history.

"They were talking the whole time saying 'that's my house, there's my shop!'

It was funny and painful," he said. "They were asking me if I could get still photos from the movie for them to have one last picture of their home."

Before he became interested in social activism, Dutta's media background began with producing commercials and items for television.

"I wanted to do something more radical with my work, to focus on smaller communities. The people who usually make the noise are the ones with money and power," Dutta said.

Currently, Dutta's work is focusing on the drug use and H.I.V. problems in the northeastern states of Nagaland and Manipur. He is collaborating with artists and media professionals to produce visual essays and documentaries. His past work is a catalog ranging from childrens' rights to environmental issues and other topics of health and society.

All community members are welcome to attend Dutta's lecture at 6 p.m. in the Simplot Ballroom in the SUB. For information on Duttas work, visit his Web site www. inmetamorphosis.com.

A trip through the

Hajj Islamic awareness week celebrated

ARBITERONLINE.COM TONY RODGERS Journalist

Islam Awareness Week kicked off Monday, Nov. 16 in the SUB with a presentation and fair involving many aspects of Islam. The event, which showcased discussion on pilgrimage and architecture, was just the start of a week long celebration of Islam.

The central theme of the night was the focus on the Hajj, a pilgrimage required of Muslims, and is considered the last of the five pillars of Islam. The Five Pillars of Islam are laws that guide followers in worship. The other four are Shahadah (the profession of faith), Salat (Prayers recited five times daily), Zakah (giving to the poor) and Sawm (fasting during the month of Ramadan).

The Pilgrimage eventually convenes on Mecca, the holiest city in all of Islam. In Mecca is the Ka’Bah, a building thought to be built by Abra-

ham, the man who contributed with the founding of Islam.

Although Muslims can take part in a pilgrimage to Mecca, anytime of the year, the Hajj only happens between the seventh and 13th days during the 12th month of the Islamic year. The Islamic Year follows the lunar calendar, unlike most religions that follow the solar calendar. The Hajj falls on different days every year as a result.

Ahmed Oteafy, a member of the Muslim Student Association, used a presentation to show the message that Hajj brings to believers of Islam, as well as including facts about the religion of Islam.

Islam is the second largest religion, just behind Christianity, with more than 1.57 Billion people professing faith, and is arguably the fastest growing religion in the world, according to the Web site, Adherents.com As Christianity follows the teach-

ings of Jesus, Islam follows the words of the Prophet Muhammed. Of the top five countries with Muslim populations, only one, fifth ranked Egypt, is located in the Middle East. The other most populous Muslim countries, ranked one through four, are Indonesia, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, respectively.

The night also featured interactive booths where guests could visit and learn about many different aspects of Islam. Topics covered ranged from classical architecture, to the cuisine of the Islamic world, to Henna tattoos for women.

According to Oteafy, for the approximately 40 people in attendance, the reactions were very positive.

“I’ve found a lot of appreciation for the amount of work that the students have done to make this event happen,” Oteafy said. “Especially the amount of research they have put into it.”

Lawyer, author promotes Native American culture change J. FREEMAN DEJONGH Journalist

ZACH GANSCHOW/THE ARBITER

Gyasi Ross, speaks on Native American “political correctness” Monday night.

Tuesday evening in the Hatch room of the SUB, the Intertribal Native Council (INC), MLK Human Rights Committee and Political Science Association brought Gyasi Ross to speak in celebration of National American Indian Heritage Month.

Gyasi Ross belongs to the Blackfeet Nation and the Suquamish Tribe in Northern Washington. He obtained a law degree from Colombia University and is a lawyer, author and teacher. His lecture is titled, “Beyond Guilt, Political Correctness as a Weapon.”

Gyasi defined political correctness as “a philosophy that asserts the wealthy or powerful white people and institutions will voluntarily and benevolently hand over the key to their wealth to us.”

The Intertribal Native

Council is a Native American Student group who strive to create unity between different tribes, the community and the university.

Tai Simpson, a Nez Perce Native American and political science major, said she hopes the event will open a

on internal issues of American tribes. He expressed his distress with the lower standards for Native American education and expectations.

Following these points, he discussed the lack of accountability and family values. He said he speaks to

We hope to bring cultural issues closer to the people.

We want people to be more willing to question their perceptions.

- Tai Simpson dialogue between people.

"Gyasi’s speaking style, his intensity, opens this channel to us," she said. "We hope to bring cultural issues closer to the people. We want people to be more willing to question their perceptions.”

Gyassi focused his speech

provoke people into opening channels for change.

A reoccurring saying in his speech was, “It’s too good to be true.”

He said over and over that getting by easy will only cripple individuals in the long run and that higher standards

and expectations must be set for Native Americans to succeed in today’s world.

He said that the millions of excuses were no longer tolerable.

Rather than to accept the poverty and distress, it is time to reinvent, according to Gyasi.

Simpson said she found Gyasi Ross’s writings online before seeing him in person.

“He is my Facebook BFF. We started talking via chat," Simpson said. "I am smitten by his writing style.”

A diverse group of students, staff and community members were in attendance.

Gyasi spoke in front of the podium, moving about the floor. For information, contact the BSU Intertribal Native Council at bsuintertribalnativecouncil@gmail.com or visit Gyasi Ross’s column, “The Thing About Skins,” at his Web site, IndianCountryToday.com

Brockel, Kaiserman likely gone for season TRENT LOOTENS Producer Boise State routed Idaho last week 63-25, but at a high cost for BSU. Senior fullback and NFL prospect, Richie Brockel, injured his foot early in the game against the Vandals. When he returned to the sidelines he was in street cloths and on crutches. The diagnosis at this time is not exactly known, but according to BSU head coach Chris Petersen, Brockel will miss the remainder of the season, ending his career at BSU. “It means a lot because Richie brings more intangible things than he does even physically,” Petersen said of his missed captain. “He’s a physical tone setter for us on offense. He’s also the voice of reason and he’s the most mature guy that we have on the entire team.”

Brockel is the unsung leader of the offense on and off the field. Losing a player of that caliber late in the year is hard for a young team, but his presence will still be with the team wherever they go.

“He was a pretty vocal guy in the locker room and during the pre game,” freshman wide receiver Kirby Moore said. “Losing Richie is a big deal."

Austin Pettis, who had four touchdown catches against Idaho, knows just how much Brockel meant to this team and is still trying to cope with the fact that the captain will not be in the huddle again.

“It’s a lot of leadership that we’re losing on the field, but he’s still going to be a part of this team no matter what," Pettis said.

The Broncos must now turn to sophomore fullback, Dan Paul, from Boring, Oregon. The sophomore has played sparingly during the season and has big shoes to fill in the absence of BSU’s only starting offensive senior. Coach Petersen feels confident Paul will step up and keep the Broncos playing at a high level.

“Dan’s been making great strides all year long and I think he’s in a place where we need him to be to take that next step and really carry that flag for Richie,” Petersen said.

Another unfortunate loss came to up-

and-coming freshman running back Matt Kaiserman, who broke his leg late in the Idaho game after throwing his first touchdown on a trick play to tight end Kyle Efaw. Kaiserman's injury is a significant blow to the already beleaguered BSU backfield. The running game lost junior D.J. Harper to an ACL tear earlier in the season against Fresno State. The Broncos are now down to only two productive backs with Jeremy Avery and Doug Martin.

“Kaiser’s going to be okay down the road.

It’s just such a bummer for us and for him.

He’s had a hard year anyway getting going and we were just starting to get him in the mix in a bunch of different things,” Petersen said.

Sophomore receiver, Tyler Shoemaker, was also injured during the victory over rival Idaho and also left on crutches after the game.

His status is questionable for this weekend's game at Utah State. Petersen said they’re still waiting on the doctors to evaluate him before they make any decisions going forward. Kirby Moore will likely step into Shoemaker’s slot position this weekend against USU.

Players to watch

Jonathon Amaya

Senior Defensive back Jonathon Amaya leads Nevadaís defense with 67 total tackles, 40 of those being solo tackles. Nevada relies on Amaya leadership a great deal due to the youth they have on defense. Amaya is a heavy hitting safety who prides himself on being the most physical player on the field.

JOSH RASMUSSEN/THE ARBITER

Freshman receiver Kirby Moore looks on during a game from the sidelines. He will carry a heavier load as the season progresses because of injuries to the Bronco offense.

NEVADA ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT

Colin Luke Kaepernick Lippincott Junior Quarter Back Kaepernick was voted WAC preseason offensive player of the year and has not disappointed. The versatile quarterback has Nevada in a position to compete for the WAC championship. Kaepernick is one of the most dangerous dual threat quarterbacks in the nation.

Senior Running Back Lippincott is the perfect complementary back for the Nevada backfield. Sharing carries with Taua and Kaepernick has limited Lippincottís numbers, but he has still been able to run for 866 yards and seven touchdowns.

Vai Taua

Junior Running Back Taua leads the nations No. 1 rushing attack. He has only failed to rush for 100 yards once this season. In the eight games he has played in he has accumulated over 1000 yards and eight touchdowns. Taua is very hard to tackle and has great field vision. Having Kaepernick in the same backfield helps too.

Early production displays depth despite late season injuries The injury bug has proven to be an adversary of many college football teams late in the season. The Boise State Broncos have faired quite well considering they have played 10 of 13 games thus far. But the defense hasn’t been prone to that bug as of yet.

KIRK BELL Sports Editor

The linebackers “Knock on wood,” sophomore linebacker Aaron Tevis said of injuries.

Tevis has struggled in the past with injuries and still battles through the pain persisting problems. Sharing time with freshman linebacker, J.C. Percy, has proven effective and an efficient use of young talent.

“First of all you don’t get as tired,” Tevis said. “You get a couple of breaks, a couple of series off. That helps a lot to go 100 percent in the game. And definitely helps with staying healthy. I’m definitely an injury prone guy but staying healthy this year has definitely helped me a lot.”

Tevis has 34 tackles this season with five tackles for loss. He has also stepped into the role of a hands-savvy backer. He’s recorded three interceptions this season.

Percy has 42 tackles – three of which are for loss – and one forced fumble.

To emphasize the relationship the line backers have with one another, it would be an understatement to call it competitive. The six major contributors – Percy, Tevis, Derrell Acrey, Tommy Smith, Hunter White and Daron Mackey have seen consistent action all season between the two available linebacker positions. Combined, the leading linebackers have recorded 172 tackles, seven interceptions and 15 tackles for loss for negative 48 yards this season.

The defensive line

Much like the linebackers, the defensive line has shown they are running deep with talent. The Broncos have rotated 10 guys who have contributed statistically in some way; yet another way to stay fresh on the field as the season progresses.

JOSH RASMUSSEN/THE ARBITER

Junior linebacker Derrell Acrey celebrates after one of the Broncos’ five interceptions against the University of Idaho, Nov. 14.

Often, injuries would allow for other guys to step in and showcase their talent. With the lack of injury in the initial point of contact that is the defensive line and traditional injury-prone positions of defensive tackle and defensive end, it is somewhat a curious matter why there has been so much defensive line production from so many athletes this season.

But in this case, it has been due to BSU’s ability to showcase vast talent due to depth.

“We have great coaches and great athletes on the team,” junior defensive tackle Billy Winn said. “It just opens it up for other guys to play. These guys have been waiting for a long time to get on the field and have their chance to shine. It’s gonna be amazing. They’re excited to play. I just can’t wait to see them out there.”

The Broncos’ defense has stepped up in the turnover category. BSU has forced 16 turnovers during its past four games – seven coming against rival Idaho – following a two-game turnover drought against UC-Davis and Tulsa earlier this season. Much of this can be traced back to the defensive line applying pressure on quarterbacks and running backs behind the line of scrimmage.

“For a team to get to cause seven turnovers, that’s a great stride,” Winn said. “Showing the productivity of the defense. For us to get that many is a great attribute.”

Prior, the Broncos had 13 turnovers during their first four games.

The Defensive backs Though there hasn’t been an apparent

showcasing of depth at defensive back as with the D-line and linebackers, sparks of production have shown through. What they haven’t displayed in depth, they make up for in talented play and progressive playmakers.

Boise State has only seen one player sit in the defensive backs corps with sophomore cornerback Jerrell Gavins filling the large shoes of senior cornerback Kyle Wilson.

Wilson has three interceptions and two pick-6’s in the past three games.

Gavins had five tackles while standing in for Wilson against UC-Davis. He has 21 tackles this season.

The defensive backs have 14 interceptions and three forced fumbles as a group this season.
