Unpaid internships may starve the piggy bank.

Unpaid internships can cause misleading experiences Justin Doering Staff Writer

Unpaid internships are a growing phenomenon amongst college students eager to gain an edge in a competitive job market, but legal worries are on the rise regarding the value of these internships and companies’ uses of intern labor.

Nancy J. Leppink, deputy administrator of U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division in 2012, addressed this in an interview with The New York Times.

“If you’re a for-profit employer, there aren’t going to be many circumstances where you can have an un-

11/06/2014

paid intern and still be in compliance with the (minimum wage) law,” she said.

Federal officials like Leppink at the U.S. Department of Labor have set up criteria for companies to follow to ensure that internships do not violate minimum wage laws and illegally exploit free labor. Amongst these criteria are that the internship experience is purposed for the benefit of the intern, the intern does not replace regular employees, the employer providing the training receives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern and that the internship is similar to training that would be given in an educational environment.

Internships that fail to meet all of these criteria are exploitations of labor and against the law.

On the other hand, when companies are in compliance with the law, they can benefit from an intern’s “up-to-date skills and fresh perspectives of interns,” said Martin Orr, chair and internship coordinator of the sociology department.

According to Orr, the ideal purpose of unpaid internships, is a symbiotic relationship but that isn’t the situation in every case.

“I was hoping to learn about my future career and make connections but instead learned how to change ink in the copier and (get)

people’s coffee orders. I was promised by my boss that I would be taught Internet marketing and given projects to do, but it never happened,” said Sarah Stone, a junior speech-language pathology major who was formerly a marketing intern.

“I was basically a free office assistant. I made no connections and in the end decided to change my major.”

In some cases like Stone’s, the benefits of an unpaid internship are near nonexistent. Students at Boise State with unpaid internship credit aren’t even working for free–they’re paying to be there. Students pay around $240 for each internship credit received.

A primary objective with unpaid internships is creating a valuable advantage in a world where the doors to opportunity are only getting harder to open.

However, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, in 2013 only 37 percent of graduating students with unpaid internships received job offers within a year of graduation, standing a minuscule 1.8 percent above the students who had no internships at all.

“I made no connections,” Stone said. “I decided I didn’t want to be part of that (unpaid internships) and do not see experiences like that helping me in the future.”

This fall, Boise River Cafe purchased a new set of cups featuring the Bronco logo, since the ones from last year have been slowly disappearing. Ironically, BRC’s attempt to replace missing tableware failed as the new cups have also started going missing in even bigger numbers.

According to the staff ’s report, there have been approximately 1,000 cups missing since the new cups were purchased which has caused frustration for Boise State Dining Services.

“We were running out of cups since last year,” said former BRC supervisor Alexis Finnin. “People would often walk out of the cafeteria

with a cup or even an entire dish in their hands. We even had one student stealing a whole bag of food, cooking it and then selling it. And since we are not allowed to go through students’ bags, there was nothing we could do. There can be up to 300 students at rush hour, so no one can really see our belongings disappearing.”

If the problem develops further, the BRC will have to make financial compromises in order to carry out their services without going over the budget.

“They (students) don’t realize that this is a vicious cycle,” said an anonymous student who works parttime as a BRC employee.

“Students steal cups, so our costs and labor are being cut down. Then, that gives us

no raise; we get irritated as well, so our service gets bad and that makes students unhappy. The cycle just keeps going.”

The BRC staff do not find the thefts at all amusing but rather irritating.

“From a student’s perspective, they probably think that it won’t hurt us much. But the way we see it, it’s just disrespectful,” the anonymous staff member said. “If we just learn how to respect each other even with just small gestures like putting the tables back after moving or cleaning after themselves, it would be so much better. Please respect the food we serve and the people who serve the food.”

Finnin suggested that the majority of students who come to the BRC are fresh-

Stolen bronco cups are found around campus. men who are obligated to get a meal plan, which means they have no incentive to care about their din-

ing habits.

“If they just had more common courtesy and let us provide the fine dining

experience, it would be so much easier and, honestly, we would like them more as well,” Finnin said.

Student volunteers work with exotic animals.

Students volunteer at Zoo Boise Benton Smith Staff Writer

Whether it’s mandated, to pad a resumé or just for the greater good, students often feel the need to find community volunteer opportunities: a search that has led some students to Zoo Boise.

“I needed community service hours for medical school applications and I wanted to do something I was actually interested in rather than doing it because I had to,” said Emilee Milborn, sophomore health science major.

There have always been ways to donate money to the zoo, but for those interested in doing more, volunteer opportunities are available through the zoo’s volunteer program.

Bethany Poythress, a junior international business major, has been volunteering for two years.

“It actually started with

11/06/2014

cat videos,” Poythress said.

“I thought, ‘I really like animals.’ So I got online and saw that Zoo Boise was looking for volunteers.”

Volunteers help to care for the animals and are also in charge of educating the public both about the animals and conservation projects that Zoo Boise has going on around the world.

“The thing I love most about volunteering at the zoo is being able to educate the public; it’s a big part of what we do,” Milborn said.

Volunteers oversee a number of programs that help to raise money. The zoo offers Special Encounter activities such as sloth bear feeding and giraffe feeding which cost $3 and are led by volunteers. All the money these activities earn goes to the zoo’s conservation fund.

“During the sloth bear feeding, the bear slurps the food up, and you explain to

the kids what is going to happen,” Poythress said. “But they get this live recognition in their eyes; I love seeing them learn.”

In 2007, Zoo Boise became the first zoo in the country to include a conservation fee in the price of admission. The 50 cents added to every ticket goes to projects around the world ranging from community-based conservation to international wildlife conservation.

Each visitor to Zoo Boise gets to vote for one of three projects they would like to see carried out with a token given to them at the front gate. Over $1.4 million dollars have been raised for these projects to date.

Students wanting to visit Zoo Boise or to volunteer can call 208-608-7746 or visit their web page at www. zooboise.org for more information.

Local news should play a large role in student lives Patty Bowen

Asst. Culture Editor

Despite what seemed like a bustling voter center on campus, voter turnout in Idaho was at a low last Tuesday with a 20 percent voter turnout rate. While this doesn’t come as a shocker, it does confirm the already growing issue that students and Idaho residents don’t care about local politics and issues.

“You can’t make people read stuff they are not interested in and we’re all still interested consumers of whatever we’re interested in whether it’s products at the store or news,” said Bill Manny, local news editor for the Idaho Statesman.

Manny feels that local news outlets need to do a better job marketing themselves to students and touching on topics

that students will find interesting. Although this may be partly true, students hold individual blame for not taking the time to be interested in politics.

As students of a university, it only makes sense that we would be jumping at every opportunity to understand a larger part of the complex networks of information that will allow us to become better voters.

Megan Fromm, assistant professor of communication, feels that although students have multiple influences battling for their time, keeping up with the news is worth the struggle.

“You do have to pick your priorities, for students who don’t live here who send absentee ballots somewhere else, I still think it’s important to understand what’s going on in

the state if only because of education policies, budget and learning who’s in the governor’s mansion,” Fromm said.

Despite the logic of Fromm’s statement, Manny has found through experience that most students won’t be interested in local news and big picture current events until they are much older.

“What we’ve learned over years is until you are out of school, have a job, are paying taxes, have kids in schools, buy a house, and start paying property tax that’s when they get most interested in traditional old fashion news,” Manny said.

Manny’s experience presents a problem in students’ thought process. Local elections and news play a large hand in the economics of students’ lives.

“It will directly affect stu-

mike sheneman/mct campus

dents. It will affect how much tuition they pay, it will affect work study, it will affect the degree programs that are offered,”

Fromm said. “I mean it really does trickle down to students.”

This considered, it is important that individual stu-

Yes, I would vote for a 3rd party candidate because the main two aren’t always perfect and sometimes the third party candidate is the candidate that shares the same beliefs as me.

I would vote for a third party if what they believe is what I believe.

I would absolutely, especially in Idaho. If their ideals match up with what I believe I would 100% support them.

No because in my opinion it would be a waste of a vote since they don’t have enough funding and don’t have a good chance of winning.

Yes because I don’t think the two parties don’t always work and it shows that those two parties are not always perfect which in this case I would vote for the third party.

Students trust Netflix like a friend Netflix may create an entirely new relationship between viewers and visual media Patty Bowen

It’s 2 a.m. before the midterm that has been causing landslides in your stomach.

All your Facebook friends are offline and you’ve exhausted your stash of snack foods. But, as you savor your last moments of freedom before succumbing to your academic career, you experience a cutting betrayal as your Netflix Internet tab recites “You’ve been watching for 4 hours. Do you want to continue?”

Many students have experienced the shame that comes with binge-watching hours of TV on Netflix. This means that these same students have also taken part in the inherent relationship that one forges with their Netflix queue and recommendation list.

Netflix Instant Play has become a staple part of the student lifestyle. The service allows viewers to watch a variety of movies and television shows at the click of a mouse.

“Everybody has Netflix and anybody who doesn’t is a second class citizen,” said Noah Selis, sophomore philosophy major. “Netflix lulled me in and seduced my hours away.”

The popularity of Netflix that Selis comments on may be causing a change in the relationship that students have with visual media.

“There are a lot of movies and TV shows I wouldn’t

Asst. Culture Editor

National DAta on Netflix consumption from “24/7 Wall St” and “Expanded Ramblings” have even known existed if it weren’t for Netflix,” Miranda Gregary, freshman psychology major, said.

Selis feels that Netflix has also provided the means that have brought him to several movies that he normally wouldn’t appreciate.

“I trusted Netflix,” Selis said. “Netflix has this rating system and I developed such a relationship with

Netflix that I was like, ‘I trust you, tell me what I want.’”

However, the rating system has also let him down several times and led to an inevitable moment of distrust by recommending “Click” (2006).

“The foundations of the relationship I had (with Netflix) were shaken a couple of times,” Selis said.

The recommendation system and the fairly substantial selection of visual media that Netflix offers gives students a higher chance of watching media that is familiar to their friends, creating a common vocabulary of movies and TV shows. “(Netflix) provides such easy use. It’s like, ‘Oh, you haven’t seen this thing I’m

super passionate about? It’s on Netflix, go watch it,’” Selis said.

Selis feels that a lot of shows on Netflix like “Orange is the New Black” would not have gained the popularity they currently have if they weren’t offered for instant viewing on Netflix. The convenience factor facilitates an exponential increase in show popular-

ity. This creates a system in which students are more likely to like a show simply because they can access it on Netflix.

“We have all these medium to experience cinema and Netflix is just another one, and if volumes of people are experiencing it, then it is more likely that people will give a shit about it,” Selis said.

chased quite a bit of DLC over his years of gaming. He found that Nintendo’s “Mario Kart 8” is doing a particularly good job in marketing worthwhile DLC at an understandable cost.

“This is the first time I’ve ever felt like I was getting an extraordinary amount of value for my dollar,” Jahner said. “$11.99 for six new characters, eight new vehicles, 16 new tracks and eight new colors for both Yoshi and Shy Guy? I’ve paid a lot more for a lot less.”

Griggs explained that, when purchasing DLC, gamers need to watch out for cases where creators purposefully leave things out of games to siphon extra money from players.

In addition, Griggs also felt that consumers should watch out for “disclocked DLC,” where players have to pay extra money to unlock content already written into the code of a game at purchase. He explained that this often happens with fighting games like “Marvel vs. Capcom 3.”

“Wait a year for the ultimate edition with everything unlocked, buy it for $60, and there you go,” Griggs said.

eo

The price tags on electronic stores’ video game racks are no longer fully accurate.

Games that cost $60 on their initial purchase might include further microtransactions within their interface, causing students to shell out added funds for pixelated rabbit outfits, new racing courses set in Hyrule and bonus storyline content.

This downloadable content is optional for players but can sometimes be essential in finishing out a game’s in-depth plot or accessing new ways to play a game with different characters. This means that, in order to visit all facets within a game, gamers might have to spend an additional $40, depending on the download costs.

Other games like “League of Legends” have hundreds of purchasable DLC. In order to buy everything, including champions and their custom outfits, players would have to spend over $1,000.

“For any game I’ve played, I’ve purchased at least one piece of DLC,” said freelance graphic designer and avid

gamer Tru Griggs.

Despite the fact that he has purchased so much added content, Griggs is still able to manage his finances as a young adult by slowly accumulating DLC. “I might spend five or ten bucks after one paycheck,” Griggs said. “And then next time I’ll buy the other pieces of DLC.” According to Griggs, not all pieces of DLC are worth spending money on. In terms of the two major pieces of DLC for “Fallout 3,” Griggs said that spending $20 on each was ultimately worthwhile. He compared the amount of content provided within them to that of a “World of Warcraft” expansion, where enough lore and quests are added to keep players busy for hours on end.

On the other hand, Griggs felt that vanity purchases like new hats for characters in “Team Fortress 2” were not worth their price tags.

“Unless you’re like, ‘Oh my God, I need to have that Spiderman suit for this one guy,’ they really aren’t worth it,” Griggs said.

STUDENT DEALS

Swift tailors lyrics to her new pop identity.

Get down to these sick beats Justin Kirkham Culture Editor

Taylor Swift traded her acoustic guitar for drums and trumpets—and she’s not looking back.

Released last Monday, Swift’s newest album, “1989,” sports pop music with small doses of electronic beats, computer sound effects, heavy bass lines and some sort of rapping and chanting combination reminiscent of Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night” bridge.

These new sounds work well for Swift, creating an album superior to all of her previous work.

With each new album, Swift aims to capture her own musical evolution and this time she’s grown exponentially. The newly minted artist is no longer skirting the incredibly blurry line between country and pop, as “1989” is officially categorized as pop.

The strongest example of this genre shift is “Bad Blood.”

Its chorus utilizes sparse in-

11/06/2014

struments and focuses on drum beats and vocals. In former albums, Swift avidly utilized guitar or piano tracks to create a bed of sound for her vocals, but in this album she reined it all in to create a new sound.

In her Yahoo Livestream to release “Shake it Off,” Swift mentioned that, while working on and thinking about her new album, she listened to 80s pop music.

Drawing from those songs as a main source of inspiration for her new sound, some of Swift’s new tracks might make listeners think they are watching the opening sequence of a 1980s film. It’s not a bad thing.

Swift loves time. Or rather, she loves dictating time and day in her songs. She manages to slip in the same sort of time-oriented exposition into “I Wish You Would,” with the lines “Two a.m., in your car, windows down, you pass my street, the memories start.”

Lines like these are Swift’s footprint of sorts. Listeners

can still identify her personality in her songs while being guided into a new era of Taylor Swift pop.

The strongest aspect of Swift’s new album is her ability to capture emotion with melody, repetition and electronic sound. “Out of the Woods” does just this with near-obnoxious repetition of the same two lines within the chorus. But it works, creating a frantic, constantly questioning recreation of emotion.

The album houses several songs with these same techniques—“Wonderland” in particular—branding them as potential singles and inevitable top hits.

Ultimately, “1989” is a testament to Swift’s growth as an artist. She’s taken her token qualities as a musician and tied them to intricate, instrumental creations, working each song into its own vein of artistic quality.

Not everyone will be a fan of Swift’s pop identity, but, according to Swift, they can “Shake it Off.”

Men’s basketball preps for swan song season for Drmic, Marks Nate Lowery

Sports & Rec Editor

Boise State’s journey into the MW began with the arrival of two highly touted recruits for the men’s basketball program—head coach Leon Rice’s first recruiting class.

Those two recruits, Anthony Drmic and Derrick Marks, enter their final season as Broncos and hope to leave a mark on a school that is predominantly known for its football program.

“It’s been such a long journey,” Rice said. “These guys—we’ve had a relationship with for five years. They were with us for the first year into the Mountain West. We threw these guys into the fire as freshmen.

“I just hope these guys have the senior year they’ve earned.”

Drmic and Marks enter this season ranked seventh and ninth, respectively, in scoring in program history.

Drmic, who has led the Broncos in scoring each of the previous three seasons, was selected to the preseason All-MW team.

“Freshman year in the Mountain West, Derrick and I were playing a lot of minutes,” Drmic said. “It was tough, but it was a great experience and it helped us the following year.”

The impact Drmic and Marks have had on the stat sheet pale in comparison to their impact on the program and community for Rice.

Both were heavy contributors to the 2012-13 team that earned an at-large spot in the NCAA Tournament and have been outstanding ambassadors for Boise State.

“Their legacy is to build this program,” Rice said.

“They’ve been tremendous ambassadors. Both will be in the top five scorers in school history, but they don’t care about those things.”

Even with the duo leaving after this season, Rice is excited about the coming seasons due to the example both Drmic and Marks have set.

“They care about teammates, winning and the community,” Rice said. “As a coach that’s what you want.”

Weaver takes the reins for women’s basketball Asst. Sports & Rec Editor

Only the MW Tournament stood between the Boise State women’s basketball team and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

Despite the best efforts of guard Deanna Weaver, the Broncos were eliminated in the opening round after a 6156 loss to Wyoming.

“I feel we were pretty motivated in the offseason,” Weaver said. “We didn’t finish this past season well. We definitely made a lot of goals for us to accomplish this year.”

Weaver is expecting big

things from this year’s experienced and talented team.

“This year, with everyone back, we can finish first and win the Mountain West,” Weaver said. “One of our goals is to also make it to the NCAA tournament. I feel we have the chance to do that and that’s what we are expecting to do.”

Weaver will be the leader on offense for this year’s team and could be one of the best players in the conference as well.

“I thought Deanna should be the preseason player of the year, but I don’t get a vote,” head coach Gordy Presnell said.

Weaver transferred from Oregon in January of 2012 and wasn’t able to make her Bronco debut until Dec. 29 against Cal State Fullerton last season due to NCAA transfer rules.

She didn’t let missed time stop her. She went on to become the Mountain West Newcomer of the Year and a first team All-MW selection.

She is grateful she gets to play with the team for the entire season.

“This year will be different starting from game one. I am looking forward to that a lot,” Weaver said. “It will make a big difference. I feel like it will help me a lot more and

I will have a lot more confidence playing these preseason games and getting a better feel for it.”

In addition Weaver has been one of the most dedicated players for the program in recent memory and has set the bar high for her fellow teammates.

“She has helped changed the culture in terms of her commitment to strength, conditioning, and nutrition,” Presnell said.

Weaver will look to finish her final season with a bang and leave her mark on the program.

“She is extremely athletic and is going to leave here

Experienced women’s team can write their own history Brandon Walton

Asst. Sports & Rec Editor

Last season the Boise State women’s basketball team finished tied for third and had a disappointing end to an injuryridden season.

This year the Broncos are picked to finish second in the Mountain West. However, they could do even better than that.

Not only does the team return everyone from last year’s team, they have added a few key additions to the fold.

Purdue transfer Camille

Redmon adds some height to the team at 6 foot 4 inch. Pairing Redmon with junior center Miquelle Askew gives Boise State more options in the post.

In the back-court the Broncos will be led by the reigning MW Freshman of the Year point guard Yaiza Rodriguez Ortego and senior guard Deanna Weaver, the reigning MW Newcomer of the Year.

The Broncos are expecting to get back junior forward Lexie Der sometime in January and with Der back in the lineup the Broncos will be a hard team to stop.

Boise State has talent and depth on their roster. They can go 12 players deep with returning letterwinners in sophomore guard Tonishia Childress, junior forward Kayla Reinhart, sophomore twin guards Brooke and Brittney Pahukoa, and the returning senior forward Kinzi Poteet.

Barring injuries, expect the best season in school history for Boise State.

Prediction: Boise State 27-2, 1st in MW, NCAA Tournament bid

Rice, Broncos to reach new heights in 2014-15 Nate Lowery

Defense and physicality spelled disappointment for the Boise State men’s basketball team last season. This prompted head coach Leon Rice to add plenty of size to this year’s roster.

The Broncos return three starters and five other letterwinners to a team that is picked to finish second in the MW by members of the media.

return to lead a Boise State offense that should have no problem scoring. What this team added, is a lot more height and athleticism.

Senior Robert Heyer and sophomore James Webb III will both debut for the Broncos this season after redshirting last year. Heyer, a Division II transfer, will add a defensive presence while the 6-foot-nineinch Webb III brings plenty of big play potential.

What Boise State also adds, is three newcomers that stand 6 feet 10 inches or taller. The

group is led by 6-foot-11-inch junior center David Wacker, who Rice believes could start immediately.

Redshirt junior Montigo Alford, a transfer from College of Southern Idaho, is, in Rice’s words, the most athletic player.

The Broncos filled plenty of needs and weaknesses this season, and the additions should drive the Broncos back into the NCAA Tournament.

Prediction: 25-5, 2nd in MW, NCAA Tournament bid
