Nine hundred and fifteen pink crosses lined the quad on Oct. 11. According the Planned Parenthood Project, the crosses symbolize the 915 abortions performed at Planned Parenthood facilities per day throughout the nation. The Planned Parenthood Project is a program created by Students For Life of America (SFLA). SFLA is taking the Planned Parenthood Project on a 18,041 mile, 41 university, 20 state, eight week tour to spread their message against Planned Parenthood. Boise State was a stop along the way. Hannah Brass Greer, public affairs of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, responded to these protesters. “Generally speaking, protesters are spreading mis-

information that has been widely disproven and discredited,” Brass Greer said. “We are not really focused on the small number of people spreading this information. We are focused on providing high quality health care to thousands of women, men and teens in Idaho and across the country.” SFLA works in conjunction with pro-life organizations on each university they visit. At Boise State, SFLA worked together with Abolitionists4Life to host the event. Members of the club distributed reading materials filled with statistics about Planned Parenthood and testimonials from former Planned Parenthood employees. Club members also referred to the visual display of crosses as they spoke to passersby. Rebekah Barnes, regional coordinator of SFLA, de-

scribed how the organization has been received by universities. “Actually I have been really impressed with the amount of dialogue this display has brought about. No matter which side of the fence you find yourself on as far as pro or anti abortion, we are able to dialogue about Planned Parenthood and how they make money and whether or not it is ethical,” Barnes said. Lisa Atkins, president of Abolitionsts4Life, explained why she felt it was important to bring this program to Boise State. “It (abortion) is something that’s happening every day and our culture can easily turn a blind eye,” Atkins said. According to statistics from Planned Parenthood’s 2011-2012 Annual Report, there were 333,964 abortions performed in 2011. Atkins expressed that she

ObamaCare keeps SHIP at bay @RyanThorne

University officials are unsure of the future when the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) will tke full effect in full January 1, 2014. When the health care reform law becomes fully activated, university staff like Chris Wuthrich, dean of students, are unsure

about changes to the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) offered to Boise State students. “I think as far as the future of SHIP goes, it’s really too early to know,” Wuthrich said. Wuthrich and colleagues have met to discuss the necessity of SHIP, since Congress passed the Affordable Care Act requiring most Americans to sign

up for insurance in their state-controlled health care exchange. To satisfy Idaho state mandate, university students are required to be enrolled in an adequate insurance policy while attending school. Idaho’s exchange opened Oct. 1 and Wuthrich and colleagues are not sure how students will approach their insurance needs when signing up again for spring term 2014. “We won’t know who chooses the other plans that are available to them and we won’t have an indicator of changes until that time,” Wuthrich said. When asked whether the

wants Boise State to be a pregnancy-friendly campus. “In a time of crisis, women shouldn’t have to choose between dropping out of school or having an abortion,” Atkins said. Atkins encourages pregnant women to seek out health centers other than Planned Parenthood. “We have partnered with almost all of the local pregnancy resource centers,” Atkins said. “There’s one called Stanton Health Care and they provide free ultra sounds, free pregnancy tests, they provide free diapers, formula, wipes, most everything a woman would need.” Brass Greer argues that Idaho and the Northwest, wants and needs Planned Parenthood facilities. “We have three health centers in the state. Last year we served over 6,500 patients in the area and this year we are projected to serve over

9,000 so obviously they need us there and people rely on us for quality healt care and that’s our focus,” Brass Greer said. Brass Greer stated that Planned Parenthood provides many important services apart from abortion. “What we do and what we offer to the public is reproductive health care. A vast majority of what we do is preventive health care,” Brass Greer said. “Abortion is something we provide but again a vast majority is preventive, including annual exams, cancer screenings, STI screening and treatment.” Boise State’s Women’s Center offers support to pregnant students regardless of their decision.

Adriane Bang, violence prevention and support coordinator, encouraged students to seek help from the Women’s Center. “The Women’s Center staff support students experiencing a variety of issues, including pregnancy. We provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental place where people can discuss their concerns and receive resources,” Bang said. “Our goal is to help students be successful academically, so we can assist in planning for pregnancyrelated absences, address mobility issues, and connect students to an OB/ GYN to discuss medical care and options.”

Affordable Care Act would render SHIP irrelevant to students, Wuthrich said changes to state mandates must first take place. “Insurance requirement is a policy of the State Board of Education so any changes that happen there would have to be addressed by them,” Wuthrich said. Wuthrich encouraged students to log onto the state health care exchanges website to prepare for the future and find a plan that suits their individual needs, even if that plan isn’t SHIP. “Student’s should shop for health insurance and if they feel like there is a better option for them they should obtain that insurance and not go uncovered because one accident or one medical issue can really set people back,” Wuth-

rich said. Boise State students like junior history major William Peralta feel that the state health care exchange is an easier way to choose between insurance policies, since they are all located on one site. “I can look for the cheapest plan and all of the benefits are listed,” Peralta said. “I never looked at different plans before, I guess, because I only knew about a couple insurance providers.” Peralta is concerned about the current federal shutdown and is unsure whether the Affordable Care Act will actually go into effect given the current stalemate in Congress. “I am extremely skeptical about what is going to happen. They (legisla-

tors) can’t even cooperate enough to keep the government open, so I don’t see new laws like Obamacare working well if they don’t want it to,” Peralta said.

You will find many goals are within your reach this week if you just stop talking so much about your recently purchased dragon tattoo.

Take the time to slow down this week and check in with home base. After all, the home base is where all of your supplies are and now that you are living in the zombie apocalypse, your family and food stores are there as well.

Like that one time last week when you refused to admit defeat at your weekly Dungeons and Dragons role playing game in your parents’ basement. A cluttered room represents a cluttered mind, a wise person once said. Time to get down in the basement and get all of that junk cleaned up. It is probably a good idea to begin exhuming the bodies of deceased relatives as well since it is against the law to bury bodies anywhere but designated cemeteries.

Your energy this week will seem like it is off of the charts. In fact, you will notice those that come into direct contact with you will experience a serious electric shock that will cause them to lose consciousness. You may want to investigate what effects living near a power plant may have on the human body. You may have the urge to help out your fellow human beings this week by offering door to door private exotic dances for a one time low fee. Do not become discouraged if you find yourself facing loaded guns or in handcuffs in the back of a squad car. Keep up the hard work and follow your dreams.

ARAMARK seeks feedback on food Dani Allsop @Danibananii

Boise State has a variety of dining options for hungry students. For seven years, ARAMARK has been working with Boise State to identify and incorporate student suggestions as to what dining options they’d like to see on campus. According to ARAMARK’s website, “ARAMARK provides residential dining and retail operations such as convenience stores, coffee kiosks, late-night eateries and branded restaurants.” They partner with universities across the nation to provide each campus with its sustenance needs. Not only is ARAMARK responsible for the national chains on campus, they are also responsible for the concessions at Taco Bell Arena, the Stuckle Sky Center, the Boise River Café, the Morrison Center and campus catering. Bob Beers, the marketing manager for ARAMARK at Boise State, explained Boise State’s relationship with ARAMARK. “The relationship ARAMARK has with (Boise State) is we provide all the staff, but adhere to the brand standards,” Beers said. When a chain opens on campus, it is required to operate according to the rules of the chain. For example, Chick-fil-A has specific guidelines for their production. The amount of time a chicken breast can cook, the amount of time it can sit after it has been pulled out of the fryer and the quality of the oil are just a few standards employees have to adhere by. Some students aren’t satisfied with certain chains. Jessica Roskelley, a junior English writing major, said the Starbucks located in the Albert-

sons Library, isn’t like other locations off campus. “I’ve never had any drink item made correctly there,” Roskelly said. However, Beers stated all the ingredients are exactly the same as every other chain. “It’s all the same coffee, syrups, all the exact same ingredients, all directly from Starbucks. It’s all absolutely identical,” Beers said. ARAMARK surveys students annually in a comprehensive evaluation of all chains on campus. “(The survey) goes through all retail options,” Beers said. “What’s on campus currently is a reflection of student comments we have received.” Students are also surveyed at each location every day. Beers made it clear that student suggestions and feedback are essential in determining which chains are meeting student needs and what actions ARAMARK needs to take when a location isn’t satisfying students. Robyn Weaver, a senior elementary education major, is content with the dining options. “I’m definitely satisfied with the brands we have on campus. There is a pretty decent variety in relation to the population we have at BSU.” This process was just one of the reasons that the University Bread Company, was replaced by Subway last fall. “We surveyed students to see what they would prefer, and there was a strong support for a Subway at that location,” Beers said. Other chains on campus include Einstein Bros Bagels, Papa Johns, Panda Express, Grill Works (an ARAMARK proprietary brand), La Tapitia and Mai Tai.

Chick-fil-A The chain, which opened in the Student Union Building in Fall 2010, is technically an “express” chain. “Because it is such a small location we can’t have all the same equipment, which necessarily reduces the number of menu items we can accommodate,” Beers said.

Subway There are currently two Subway locations on campus, on the first floor of the Education Building and in the Student Union Building.

Starbucks With two locations on campus, students can get their Starbucks fix at the Albertsons Library, or at “We Proudly Brew,” a Starbucks subsidiary in the Micron Business and Economics Building. While the coffee, syrups and brewing process is identical, the subsidiary has fewer pastry options because of the lack of space. “The fully licensed store is going to take on more traffic and be able to take on more transactions, so it’s a full store,” Beers said.

Moxie Java A local brand, Moxie Java has two locations on campus: in the Student Union, and their newest location in the Multipurpose Building.

Today’s study tip: Go to class Maria Shimel

Online Testing Center

This weeks study tip might be a foreign concept for some, but it's a tip that could result in immediate success. The tip is... Go to class! If you are enrolled in a face to face class take advantage of the time that you have with your professor and show up. During

class you should pay attention, take notes, and ask questions. A class lecture is like a guided tour through the textbook and subject that skips the material you don’t need and emphasizes the material you do. By taking advantage of your in-class time you can clear up confusing topics and get examples to problems that need further explanation. Being

visible in class has the added benefit of getting to know your professor too. Creating a relationship with you professor could potentially help you later in your education: they can be an advisor or mentor, they can help you get a TA position or internship, and they can even write letters of recommendation.

Boise State dishes out money to students Scholarships are distributed based on need and academic GPA @WadaPatch

For some students, the cost of college can be a huge hurdle. Tuition can literally be the deciding factor on whether to attend school or not. But others are learning that if you work hard and keep a good GPA (grade point average) you can earn free money to help with the expense. Hillary Evans, third year anthropology major, received a scholarship from her high school. “The gem scholarship,” Ev-

Evans stated she didn’t have to apply for the WUE, but it helps to make her out-of-state tuition closer to in-state fees. “It’s at least $1,000 off instate tuition, so it’s about $4,000 a semester,” Evans said. “I wouldn’t be able to

come here if I didn’t have it.” According to Renee Rehder, the assistant director for scholarships and athletic aid, Boise State disbursed approximately $23 million dollars in scholarships in 2011-2012. “Scholarships include: non-resident tuition waivers, athletic aid, Boise State scholarships, state of Idaho scholarships (which are) funded by Idaho and outside scholarships (which is) money that comes from an outside entity,” Rehder said. Rehder explained she doesn’t know exactly how much money goes unawarded each year, but said she would estimate it to be less than 1 percent. “In some cases, those funds were awarded, but don’t actually disburse because a student didn’t enroll or dropped

Ranking the college rankings What should they actually tell us? Courtesy

MCT Campus President Barack Obama wants Washington to grade colleges and universities based on their costs and success rates, but some people are already way ahead of him. At a time when students and their families are demanding to know what they’re getting for their mounting investments in higher education, several foundations and research centers already are working on new ways to show them. Some schools _ reasoning that it’s better to come up with their own ratings than have them imposed by someone else _ are even quietly developing new ways to gauge what graduates learn and earn,

though many remain reluctant so far to make the results public. “One thing everyone seems to agree on is that we should have a good way for people to choose where to go to college,” said Zakiya Smith, strategy director at the Lumina Foundation, a private group that promotes higher education. The foundation is offering $10,000 in a crowd-sourced competition to come up with the best way to make more user-friendly a White House website called the College Scorecard. Obama has proposed that the government publicly rate colleges and universities by 2015, based on average student debt, graduation rates, graduates’ earnings and other barometers. “The answers will help par-

ents and students figure out how much value a college truly offers,” the president said in a speech last month at the University of Buffalo. That’s information consumers increasingly want. In a survey released in January by Hart Research Associates, 84 percent supported the idea of making colleges disclose information about graduation and job-placement and loanrepayment rates. “People are looking at, ‘Where do we get the biggest bang for our buck?’” said Terrell Halaska, a partner at HCM Strategies, a higher education consulting firm. “They’re desperately looking for highquality consumer information. They don’t know where to turn. There are 1,000 different ranking systems out there.” Universities are skeptical that the government should add yet another one. But some

out midway through the year,” Rehder said. “For example, if a student is offered and accepts a scholarship, then drops out from spring semester, we do not re-award those funds.” At that point, according to Rehder, Boise State rolls those funds over to the next academic year to be awarded, while scholarship funds from outside agencies or from the state of Idaho actually get returned to the funding agency when they’re not awarded. Rehder explained most Boise State scholarships are one year awards which are split between the fall and spring semesters. However, some can be multi-year which require additional criteria to be met. “We will notify the student of the award criteria they must meet in order to renew their award for their next academic year,” Rehder said.

Multiple scholarships are also available. “The students that typically get a lot of scholarship support are very involved in their major, clubs, or organizations,” Rehder said. “They also typically apply for several scholarship programs and have a high GPA.” To apply for Boise State scholarships students should visit the scholarship website and complete the ‘how to apply’ checklist. “This checklist will give students step-by-step everything they need to do to apply for all types of Boise State scholarships,” Rehder said. “Including scholarship programs outside of Boise State.” Jasmine Deroy, third year anthropology major, received the Lauren Moore Cunningham Scholarship. “It was given to me by Boise State and I’m thinking it was for a good GPA, because I have to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA to keep it,” Deroy said.

Deroy stated she didn’t have to apply for any of the scholarships she has received, but has had to keep her GPA up above a 3.0. “I (also) got the bookstore fund once for good grades,” Deroy said. “It helped me pay for my classes, it completely covered my semester payments and then I tried to use the rest for either rent or to pay off student loans. So it (the scholarship) really helps with living expenses and paying for books.” The “bookstore fund” Deroy is referring to comes from bookstore sales. According to Boise State’s Bookstore scholarship page, “the majority of the income from all Bookstore locations goes back to the university in the form of scholarships.” The bookstore reports contributing about $2 million dollars over the past two fiscal years to the general scholarship fund at Boise State.

are privately working on their own ratings systems. With money from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, 18 higher education institutions have been at work on something called the Voluntary Institutional Metrics Project. Coordinated by HCM, it would provide college-bycollege comparisons of cost, dropout and graduation rates, post-graduate employment, student debt and loan defaults, and how much people learn. (Gates and Lumina are among the funders of The Hechinger Report, which produced this story.) But after two years, the group still hasn’t figured out how to measure what is, after all, the principal purpose of institutions of higher education: Whether the people who go to them actually learn anything, and, if so, how much? The many existing privately produced rankings, including the dominant U.S. News & World Report annual “Best

Colleges” guide, have historically rewarded universities based on the quality of the students who select them, and what those students know when they arrive on campus _ based on their SAT scores, class rank and grade-point averages _ rather than what they learn once they get there. U.S. News has been gradually shifting toward incorporating in its rankings such “outputs” as graduation rates, the publisher says. Still, the most popular rankings “have been almost completely silent on teaching and learning,” said Alexander McCormick, director of the National Survey of Student Engagement, another attempt by universities to measure their own effectiveness. And that, he said, is “like rating the success of hospitals by looking only at the health of their patients when they arrive.” The National Survey of Student Engagement, which is

based at the Indiana University School of Education, seeks to change that calculation. Each spring, it surveys freshmen and seniors at as many as 770 participating universities and colleges about their classroom experiences, how much they interact with faculty and classmates, whether their courses were challenging, and how much they think they’ve learned.

With program prioritization underway at Boise State, faculty and students recently had the chance to discuss the upcoming review of campus services and academics. Held on Oct. 9 in the Micron Business Building, the meeting addressed prioritization proposals. Jim Munger, the vice provost for Academic Planning, led the discussion with a powerpoint laying out all the details of the plan. Program prioritization came from the mandate by the Governor several years ago that all programs go through zerobased budgeting. This type of budgeting is not beneficial for higher education institutions, so the State Board of Education

recommended that a type of program prioritization be put in place in its stead. The program that Boise State is implementing comes from the work of Robert C. Dickeson, author of the book “Prioritizing Academic Programs and Services.” According to Munger’s presentation, and in line with Dickeson’s method, the broad purpose of program prioritization will be to “better align resources with institutional priorities.” This includes the possible discontinuation, reduction, reallocation or restructuring of funds for each program. However, Dickeson’s model is catered to very mature institutions with equally mature programs. Boise State is a relatively younger institution with newer programs. So in the long run,

Boise State should look to have more programs not fewer. “We need to grow. We need to change. We need to evolve in order to accompany those needs,” Munger said. All programs (departments) will submit data and then be placed into a category ranging from “candidate for enrichment” to “candidate for discontinuation.” This data will construct the outcome of each programs future funding. The criteria that programs will be based upon are: relevance, quality, productivity, efficiency, opportunity analysis and opportunities for restructuring. “We want them (the criteria) to actually measure what we are trying to measure and if there are things that are

Prioritizing programs

Jim Munger discussed program prioritization in Skaggs Hall of Learning. “The first challenge is, we need to figure out a way to take all of these different sorts of evidence and consolidate those so we can end up with a single picture about the department,” Munger said. “The second challenge is making the data comparable among the departments.”

difficult to measure we need to figure out a way to get at them,” Munger said. After all the data has been gathered it will be sent back to each department to be verified and sent back to the board. The group of people who will organize the data have not yet been determined.

Li Sperl, who works in the Administration Department of Boise State, attended the meeting. Sperl will most likely be a part of the team that puts together the data gathered from the departments. “I see it having a lot of value if it’s handled properly,” Sperl said.

Health Services fights flu Katie Meikle

@KateRosePumpkin

Last week, Health Services’ staff attended a meeting and training session to kick off Health Services’ flufighting campaign for the 2013-2014 flu season. Preparation to combat this year’s batch of influenza viruses, however, has been months in the making. “This year it all came together very well. I am happy and proud of our efforts,” said Dr. Vincent Serio, the director of Medical Services at University Health Services. “We’ve done a lot over the years to streamline this initiative.” Each year, the flu-fighting campaign worldwide is revamped to target new strains of the flu. What will flu season look like this year? “Even the Center for Disease Control is noncommittal. We won’t know until it hits. Vaccines are only as good as the predictions for what viruses are coming

around that year, and those are very hard to predict,” Serio said. Health Services also revamps their campaign on a yearly basis to best meet the needs and demands of the student body. The key strategies employed by Health Services to fight the flu are advocating vaccination and respiratory hygiene, managing ill health care professionals and instigating patient care precautions. “Health care provider recommendation makes a difference,” Serio said. “It’s a personal touch from your family doctor or nurse practitioner that can motivate a patient to get the vaccine.” Spreading the word on the importance of vaccination is at the forefront of the flu-fighting campaign. “If I was highly advised to get a vaccine, then yes for sure I would get one,” said Abdul Alkandari, a freshman at Boise State studying civil engineering.

Health Services stocks the trivalent form of the influenza virus which is effective in vaccinating a patient against three strains of the flu. Two of these strains are considered A-viruses, and one is a B-virus. A-viruses are the most problematic influenza viruses because they provide the greatest risk of developing into a pandemic. B-viruses are generally considered milder illness, but vaccinating against them can provide broader protection. According to Serio, 1,216 vaccines were administered through Boise State Health Services last year. “We’ve ordered 1,400 vaccines this year,” said Julia Beard, the assistant director of Clinical Operations and Quality Assurance. “We have 700 of those already, and have used 350 in the past week already. I anticipate using all of those vaccines and possibly ordering more.”

Campus needs designated smoking areas Smoking ban doesn’t address continuation of cigarette use Ryan Thorne The other day I was walking between the Interactive Learning Center and the Mathematics Building when I saw a student smoking a cigarette. He was barricaded between two construction fences near University Avenue and when I made eye contact with him, he lowered his gaze and turned away sheepishly. Again the next day, I was leaving the ILC and a campus security person was telling three male students smoking wasn’t allowed on campus, so they walked away towards University Avenue where they could smoke off of Boise State property. Smoking is banned on campus for good reasons: it stinks, it creates litter and, most importantly, it causes a multitude of health problems possibly culminating in early death. That being said, smokers should still be treated like

Designated areas are nonexistent on campus since the smoking ban went into effect in 2009. adults and be given options. Designated smoking areas, away from foot traffic and those who would be made nauseous or offended by a Camel or two, should be made available on campus. Currently, even if students are caught smoking on campus, the repercussions are laughable. They read like policies Dwight from The Office

would have loved, the mandatory showing of student ID, written warnings and lots of paperwork. They are as follows (as written on the Health Services website): First Offense: Remind individuals about the university’s smoke-free campus policy and provide them with a copy of the Smoke-Free information card (identification may be

requested and campus I.D. cards are required to be presented when requested by a university official). Second Offense: Provide a written warning for individuals who have previously been apprised of the policy (identification will be requested). Third Offense: After written warning, individuals will be asked to provide identi-

fication and a Security Incident Report (SIR) will be completed and filed. Original SIRs will be maintained by University Security. SIRs will be reviewed and copies will be forwarded to the appropriate office to initiate disciplinary processes (e.g. Student: Student Rights and Responsibilities, Employee: Human Resources for referral to

the appropriate supervisor/ manager/ Vice President, and Visitor: University Security). At this time, visitors may be excluded from campus. Years ago, I attended Lane Community College in Eugene, Ore. and was impressed at how smokers were given enclosed outdoor spaces to light up. These areas were placed in locations on campus that would not expose others to smoke and allowed smokers to dispose of ash and cigarette butts into proper receptacles. Amazingly, smokers were respectful and used the areas to inhale carcinogens. Boise State should consider designating similar smoking areas; outdoor spots away from major thoroughfares should be chosen to allow adults to smoke without wasting the valuable time of campus security and police who would otherwise enforce the rule. Though we may “butt” heads on this serious health issue, we should also remember quitting smoking is a personal choice and smokers deserve their dignity. They should not be forced to show ID and receive pointless written warnings neither smoker or enforcer wants to deal with.

NETFLIX PICKS

“The Best of the ‘90s”

Movies, TV shows, actors, directors Chosen by Lance Moore, Arts & Entertainment Editor and movie enthusiast.

West Wing Frasier

Star Trek

Malcolm in the Middle

Saturday Night Live of the 90’s

The show that gave way for the emergence of the great Bryan Cranston. The man who would invariably come to play one of the greatest villains in TV history, Walter White from ‘Breaking Bad’). The show follows the lives of a middle class family who are dysfunctional to say the least, but always seem to harbor out a good message for fans by the end of the show.

The SNL ‘90s edition is one of the many golden eras of SNL which preludes the crap that we have to deal with now as the show slowly regresses into oblivion. The ‘90s recap shows some of the great skits of some of the greats we all love now; from Will Ferrel, Jimmy Fallon, Adam Sandler, to fallen stars like Chris Farley. Enjoy the giggles.

How to handle a breakup “Breaking Expectations” is staff writer Danielle Allsop’s experience with living with mental illness. Going through any breakup is difficult. The longer the relationship, the harder it is to get over. But what about when you’re already anxietyprone, or mentally unstable (I say this with respect, not out of stigma)? Talk about hell. After an almost three year relationship, my boyfriend “John” and decided to call it quits. We both weren’t happy and needed to take time for ourselves. Love wasn’t enough. Although he was very supportive and understanding of my illness, it was hard for him to completely understand what I went through. He had a hard time understanding why certain things set me off, or why I couldn’t just “deal with it.” Descriptions, explanations, and scenarios only go so far. For any partner to completely understand, they would have to walk a mile in your shoes. It is hard for anyone to understand what having a mental illness is like. But for your partner, the person who is supposed to love you no matter what, it’s that much harder to see you suffer. They know that sometimes, there isn’t anything they can do to make it better. After three years of suddenly not having that person, your best friend, by your side to tell you that everything is going to be okay. To hold you as you cry is devastating. Though our differences pulled us apart, not having that one person who didn’t judge me for my faults has been really difficult. I have my family and a few friends as a support system, but he was the one who I could always count on to pull me out of a rut. He pushed me when I needed to be pushed, and hugged me when I couldn’t deal with life’s stresses. However, life goes on. I can’t just lay in bed because I’m sad. Work doesn’t stop, school doesn’t stop and life doesn’t stop. Did I sulk in bed for a few days after it happened, eating one (okay, four) pints of Ben and Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream? You bet. Did I sulk longer than I should have? Probably. Looking out for your best interests needs to be a priority. You need to stop worrying about being judged. If there is one thing I learned about relationships from “John,” it was to lay everything on the table. Either they’ll accept you or they won’t. Don’t settle for someone who wants to share time with you at your peak, yet abandons you in your valleys. the arbiter

The one with Patrick Stewart as the captain. He plays an absolute boss of a man who delivers every line as if it were a line from Shakespeare. There is much that has to be said for this version of Star Trek, as both the storytelling and acting were top notch. It made this Star Wars lover a bit of Treky for a time. Prepare for some exquisite soliloquies.

The ‘90s version of the modern great Netlflix original series “House of Cards,” except the PG-13 version. Martin Sheen plays the loveable President of the United States, as the ins and outs of D.C. politics is portrayed. The show’s raw depiction is sure to delight fans for years to come. Cheers to political chess.

The intellectual version of ‘Friends,’ as I like to call it. Following the lives of two upper -class Seattle psychiatrists who seem to find the right mesh between wit and snobbery. This hilarious show that never quite hit the same amount of popularity as some of the other greats of the ‘90s. So give it a dabble ladies and gents, it may actually tickle your fancy.

On Oct. 18, the Masters of Fine Arts (MFA) reading series will welcome novelist and playwright Robert Boswell to the Boise State community. students will have the opportunity to experience his works for themselves. The internationally acclaimed writer has published seven novels, three story collections, and two non-fiction books. Boswell is a contemporary

For sale: Costumes for cheap Department of Theatre Arts hold an annual Halloween costume sale Lance Moore

Photo: courtesy theater arts

@LanceMoore07

Theatre Arts prepares for Halloween.

On Sat. Oct. 19, the Department of Theatre Arts will open their costume selection to students. For the third year running, the Costume Shop at the Theater Arts Department seeks to reduce its inventory and sees Halloween as a mutually beneficial opportunity to provide costume selection to students for reduced price The costume sale is an affordable means to end, as the Department of Theater Arts downsizes its surplus of costumes and students get a chance to save a trip to their local thrift

store. Ashlynn Goody, junior environmental science major, spoke of her excitement. “I had no idea that they did this costume sale for students,” Goody said. “I wish I would have know earlier, saves me a lot of money and stress picking out my costume for Halloween. Halloween is one of the most festive times of the year, and this is also a reality with college students as well. The issue with costumes is that their is a cost associated with picking a costume that is only going to be worn one time. It is that predicament which

gave way to the Department of Theater Arts Costume Shop creating their theatrical costume sale. Darrin Pufall, associate costume design professor, expressed why he thought giving the students a chance to purchase some old costumes would be an ideal opportunity as Halloween approaches. “Boise has very limited resources now that the “Costume Shop” on Chinden is closed” Pufall said. “This sale provides students and the community a costume resource for both Halloween and community/educational theaters.” Goody echoed Pufall’s

statement. “I used to always stress about having to pick a Halloween costume, as I just didn’t see the purpose in spending what little money I had on something that I would never wear again,” Goody said. “But this sale definitely helps iron out those anxieties.” All proceeds from the costume sale will go directly back the Department of Theater Arts Shop for educational purpose and future productions. The costume sale will take place in the Academic Wing of the Morrison Center from 9am-12pm, room 214.

Arbiter: What is something that you guys have learned from being in a band/ being on tour you don’t think the average young adult going to college would learn?

Last time you guys were here, someone put your band’s logo and the words ‘We Are The Maine.’ In chalk on a brick wall just outside of the Knitting Factory. It’s stayed there for quite awhile. What’s the story behind that?

Garrett: We get to live in a lot of different places, which is kind of cool.

Pat: I don’t know if we did that. I think it must have just been a fan that did it. That’s awesome.

Pat: I guess you just see how everyone’s the same, but also completely different. It’s weird.

Arbiter: Do you guys have a favorite memory in Boise?

Garrett: Yeah. You could go to The Philippines and there’s kids acting the same as they act here.

Pat: My neighbor played the drums, that kind of made me want to do it. Arbiter: What is the number 1 question you guys are sick of hearing in interviews? Garrett: What’s with the band name?’ We get that a lot. Pat: The generic ones. You can tell they didn’t really think about them, and they ask every band those same questions.

Broncos dance with wolves Nate Lowery

It doesn’t have the hatred of Ohio State vs. Michigan, or the fan theatrics of the Iron Bowl, but the Boise State vs. Nevada football rivalry has produced some of the most compelling games in Bronco history. From 2007, when Tim Brady’s sack on the 2-point conversion gave the Broncos a 69-67 four overtime victory at home to 2010 when Colin Kaepernick—and Kyle Brotzman—ruined Boise State’s shot at a BCS bowl game in Reno, the history is rich with some of the greatest moments in Bronco history. The 2010 victory was the first for Nevada since 1998 when both teams were members of the Big West Conference. The rivalry will be renewed this weekend when the 3-3, (2-1) Wolf Pack travel to Bronco Stadium for the final time as an annual rivalry to take on the 4-2 (2-1) Broncos. With the reconstruction of the Mountain West Conference placing Boise State and Nevada in different divisions, Boise State will for sure have a game against the Wolf Pack next season, but after that, it depends on the scheduling of the MWC. This will also be the first time Boise State will face a Wolf Pack coaching staff not led by Chris Ault—the legend developed the pistol offense that is now the basis of the Broncos offense. Ault retired last season af-

Boise State takes on Nevada Saturday, in what has become a budding new rivalry. ter compiling a 233-109-1 record, and has been replaced by Brian Polian, a former Texas A&M assistant who has kept the pistol as the foundation of the Nevada offense. With the change at head coach, however, Broncos head coach Chris Petersen can see differences in the Wolf Pack’s offense

What Nevada still has is a dual-threat quarterback like Kaepernick that can cause more headaches for the Boise State defense. Junior quarterback Cody Fajardo tallied 32 total touchdowns last season and is onpace for another successful season despite missing two games with an injury earlier

last season—mainly in the run game. “There’s some similar plays, but it’s different with coach Ault being gone,” Petersen said at his weekly press conference. “They have more concepts in the run game now with their new staff. They’re darn good at it, but they didn’t have a whole lot (last season).”

this season. His ability to make plays with his feet in the option game will still be a challenge for the Broncos, just as they struggled to contain Kaepernick. “You know he just always has that option where he can just pull it,” linebacker Corey Bell said. “When you have a

guy like him, he has the capability to stick it in there and pull it out at the last second. You have to be ready for anything.” With the Broncos defense struggling to make tackles this season, you can count on another exciting matchup in this edition of the rivalry with Nevada.

Cross country makes history at Bill Dellinger Invitational Tyler Abner Staff Writer

Boise State cross country took part in the Bill Dellinger Invitational on Oct. 3-4. Both the male and female teams flourished, making a stronger case for whether or not the Broncos are worthy of the national attention. Marisa Howard finished third for the women’s team at the invitational. The national rankings have

been kind to the Broncos this season giving both teams momentum moving forward. “The national rankings came out before the tournament and we moved up two spots,” Howard said. “All this has given us so much confidence before we head into pre-nats (pre-nationals) next weekend. We feel like we’re underrated. But it does feel nice to begin to get some recognition.” The men’s side is gaining

their own share of national attention. They made history on Tuesday (Oct.8), gaining the 19 spot on the national rankings. This marks the first time in the team’s history it has been ranked inside the top 20. Beating fourth ranked Oregon was the top goal for the team. They fell short, but only narrowly. Allan Schroeder finished fourth in the race and was the Broncos top performer. Drew O’donoghue-Mc-

Donald finished second best for the Broncos, and seventh overall. “We felt like we competed well with Oregon. It was really cool actually,” O’donoghue-McDonald said. “I think we got the job done. And we showed people that the last four years of working very hard is finally beginning to pay off.” Coach Corey Ihmels, in his first year at the helm, has already developed the Broncos into the biggest

national threat in program history. The invitational has given Ihmels a pool of confidence to work with during the rest of the season. “I think the men especially did a tremendous job of being aggressive and challenging some of the top national teams,” Ihmels said. “The women maybe didn’t do as well as the men. But our work is paying off. Both sides are earning respect. The confidence we have right now should allow us

to continue to get national attention and to compete with just about anyone.” The Bill Dellinger was one of the biggest meets the team will compete in all season. Doing as well as they did speaks volumes of how far the team has improved over the last few years.

For the first time in recent memory, the Boise State men’s basketball team will have to adjust to unfamiliar preseason distractions. Instead of the football team garnering all of the campus attention, it is basketball that enters the 2013-14 season with lofty expectations. The Broncos were picked to finish tied for second in the Mountain West with UNLV in the preseason media polls after being selected to finish eighth in the same poll last season. In 2012, not a single Bronco was selected to the All-Mountain West team. This season, juniors Anthony Drmic and Derrick Marks were both given All-Mountain West honors. Drmic has already noticed an influx in attention

from students on campus regarding Boise State men’s basketball, to the point where people have started to stop him on the street. “It’s a lot different from the first year or second year,” Drmic said, now entering his third season with Boise State. “Some truck driver was driving and stopped me in the middle of the road, and he was like, ‘Oh, I’m looking forward to the season.’ It is much bigger than I expected.” As the Broncos continue to improve on their first round exit from last season’s NCAA tournament, off-the-court distractions will present themselves more frequently. Marks was featured by ESPN.com previewing the upcoming season, and telling the story of his arrival at Boise State, earlier in October. Despite the national spotlight, Marks

I’m not the type of person to believe in hype. I try to be happy for only one day.” The Broncos are returning all five starters next season, making the transition to a new year much

Williams-Rhodes becomes a star Michael Steen @MichaelSteen2

Explosive and breakout players have defined Boise State’s offense for the better part of the millennium. From running backs like Brock Forsey and Ian Johnson, to receivers like Titus Young and Austin Pettis. But through its history, Boise State might not have ever encountered the game changing electricity like

what they have found in sophomore wide receiver Shane Williams-Rhodes. “He’s very elusive and he’s really tough,” Boise State head coach Chris Petersen said. “He’s a really good competitor and that kind of combination makes him hard to tackle.” Williams-Rhodes has had an electric 2013 season, already nearly doubling all of his receiving stats he set as a freshman in 2012. Through

six games this year, WilliamsRhodes has hauled in 40 receptions for 356 yards and four touchdowns. Coming in at 5-foot-6-inches and 158 pounds, WilliamsRhodes is not the expected standard to see from a typical Division I college receiver. But Williams-Rhodes’ Wes-Welker-like shiftiness and agility adds an element to the Broncos offense that helps them stretch plays and pick up cru-

smoother. Head coach Leon Rice believes Boise State still has a lot to prove. “We didn’t get picked to win (the Mountain West). They want to accomplish some things, and so they know how much better we have to get for us to accomplish those things,” Rice said.

Added attention hasn’t derailed Boise State’s mission of improving on defense over the offense. The Broncos workout shirts have the number 214 printed on the front, representing the team’s NCAA rank in field goal defense last season. The Broncos were second in the Mountain West

in scoring last season with 71.1 points per game. “We know as a team that we can score,” Drmic said. “Defensively, we definitely need to pick it up.” Coming off one of their best seasons in program history, it’s no surprise Boise State men’s basketball is garnering new preseason attention.

cial yards in difficult situations. “We just want guys who make plays,” Petersen said. For the Broncos deep-threat receivers like redshirt junior Giraldo Boldewijn, having dynamic receivers like WilliamsRhodes help to open up down field situations. Boldewijn knows Williams-Rhodes’ role to the offense is crucial. “I’ve kind of seen flashes in practice and now he’s able to do that on gamedays,” Boldewijn said. “I think it’s really good, he keeps improving.” When Williams-Rhodes arrived on campus, he proved

instantly he was here to make a statement as he contributed consistent minutes as a true freshman. But now in his sophomore year, WilliamsRhodes is emerging as one of Boise State’s brightest stars. “Players come to Boise State for a reason,” Boldewijn said. “It just takes a while.” Williams-Rhodes’ explosiveness and play-making ability has been key to a Boise State squad that had been stepping up its play since a disappointing 41-40 loss to rival Fresno State. “Obviously Shane has been

playing really well,” junior linebacker Corey Bell said. “I think everybody as whole, I think both sides are stepping up.” Williams-Rhodes’ playmaking ability for the Broncos this season has been a necessary spark the last two games in making things happen. Things they weren’t able to do in the loss against Fresno State. As the Broncos renew their rivalry against Nevada this weekend in their homecoming game, expect Williams-Rhodes to be called on once again and his role to keep increasing.

KNOW YOUR IX Nine things you should know about your Title IX rights and your universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Title IX responsibilities

Title IX is a landmark federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in education.

Schools may not retaliate against someone filing a complaint and must keep a complainant-victim safe from other retaliatory harassment or behavior.

Title IX is not just about sports; it also addresses sexual harassment, gender-based discrimination, and sexual violence.

Schools can issue a no contact directive under Title IX to prevent the accused student from approaching or interacting with you.

Title IX does not apply to female students only. Male and gender non-conforming students are protected from any sex-based discrimination, harassment or violence.

Schools must be proactive in ensuring that your campus is free of sex discrimination.

Broncos host the Wolf Pack on homecoming weekend

Nevada Preview @EngelESPN

Boise State has long been known to contend for BCS bowl wins, but like Week 8 opponent Nevada, contending for a Mountain West title is now the highest priority. The Broncos (4-2, 2-1 MWC) host Nevada for homecoming this week, in what is slated to be yet another grueling matchup between the two teams on the Blue Turf. The last time the Wolf Pack visited Boise, Idaho, it took the Broncos four overtimes to defeat Nevada in redshirt freshman Colin Kaepernick’s first start. The 2007 thriller will forever be remembered by Bronco fans, no matter how stressful the event may have been, but Saturday’s game will have its own place in history. Nevada (3-3, 2-1 MWC) currently sits in fourth place in the Mountain West North division, and is coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss to San Diego State last week. The Broncos, on the other hand, host the Wolf Pack after back-to-back wins over Southern Miss and Utah State, and have scored 34 points or more in five of the last six games. Boise State still isn’t where they want to be offensively, despite the recent high-scoring efforts. Head coach Chris Petersen believes Boise State’s receiving core needs to improve for the team to be successful, after dropped passes were an issue against Utah State. “We just want guys that can make plays,” Petersen said. “I think there’s some pretty good experience there, and we need those guys to continue to progress.”

Redshirt senior Geraldo Boldewijn has become one of quarterback Joe Southwick’s favorite targets this season, and realized the need for the wide receiving core to be consistent. He has had over 100 yards receiving in two of the last three games. “Every week we go back, we look at the tape, and we just try to fix the mistakes that we made the game before,” Boldewijn said. “There’s a couple things we have to fix.” The Boise State defense received a break with Utah State’s star quarterback Chucky Keeton out of the lineup because of injury. This week, the task of containing Nevada junior quarterback Cody Fajardo will be much more daunting. Fajardo is a duel-threat quarterback with 272 rushing yards to his credit in four games this season. “(Fajardo) is as good as we have in this league,” Petersen said. “Those guys are always difficult to defend.” If Boise State wants to defeat Nevada, it will be crucial for the defense to limit Fajardo and the Wolf Pack offense. Junior linebacker Corey Bell believes last week’s matchup against Utah State was a good test for the Bronco defense moving forward. “(Fajardo) always has that option where he can pull it,” Bell said. “We just gotta make sure we stick to our defensive rules and making sure that we’re keeping our leverage so that we can stay home and be ready and waiting for him.” Boise State’s Mountain West Mountain division title chances will hinge on the defense’s ability to contain Fajardo and the Nevada offense.

Key players

Key Broncos who need to step up against Air Force Academy

No. Shane Williams

No.

Donte Deayon

Demarcus Lawrence

illiams-Rhodes is emerging as one of the Broncos best players this season. The sophomore wide receiver has really broken out in the past few games, especially against Utah State where he hauled in 13 catches for 150 yards and one touchdown. Those 13 catches broke his previous career high of nine, which occurred in the game before that against Southern Miss. Look for Williams-Rhodes to continue to be a key factor in the Boise State offense.

ophomore cornerback Donte Deayon has become one of the Broncos key starters and playmakers in the Boise State secondary this season. Racking up 20 total tackles in six appearances and two interceptions, Deayon plays way above his 5-foot-9 frame. Deayon, along with the rest of the Bronco secondary, has been giving defenses troubles all season and expect the trend to continue this Saturday.

awrence has been spectacular for the Broncos in his five appearances this year. Living up to the hype that has surrounded him, the redshirt junior defensive end has three sacks in the 2013 season, giving him 12 and a half in his Boise State career in just 16 games. If Lawrence is able to continue imposing his will on offensive lines, he could give Nevada quarterback Cody Fajardo fits on Saturday.

What we say What they say Michael Steen @MichaelSteen2

While the 2013 season hasn’t panned out to the liking of Boise State fan base expectations, the Broncos are now in control of their own destiny. With a win over Utah State, the Broncos are now in perfect position to win a Mountain West Conference championship, something that didn’t seem possible after the first 2-2 in nearly a decade for the program. This week the Broncos renew their rivalry with the Nevada Wolf Pack in the Homecoming game. The Broncos have had some historic matchups with Nevada, including a 4OT thriller at Bronco Stadium TheArbiter Arbiter The

in 2007, and a heartbreaking defeat for the Broncos in 2010 that kept them out of a potential national championship bid. Redshirt senior Joe Southwick has been exceeding expectations this season and currently ranks second on Boise State’s all time completion percentage record. Southwick also set the single game record for completion percentage earlier this season. The Broncos will rely on Southwick to distribute the ball as he has been so far this year to an array of receivers. The Broncos defense will have their hands full with junior quarterback Cody Fajardo on Saturday as they try and slow down the dual

threat passer. The Broncos defense has stepped up and seems to have found their niche the last two games and will rely on junior defensive end Demarcus Lawrence and redshirt senior defensive tackle Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe to put pressure on Fajardo. That defensive cohesiveness will be tested on Saturday when they face an offense that has found more success than Southern Miss. and a Utah State squad who was down their starting quarterback. If the Broncos are able to continue their recent play, they shouldn’t have a problem getting the win against Nevada and continuing their road to a rematch with Fresno State in December.

Nevada Sagebrush Sports Editor

On paper, only one man can adequately describe Nevada’s season up to this point: former Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green. “They are who we thought they were,” Green said after the Cards lost to the Bears in 2006. There have been few surprises from the Wolf Pack this season that were and were not expected. Nevada was supposed to defeat UC Davis, Hawai’i and they were supposed to get knocked out by UCLA and Florida State. However, the way that the Pack found itself at a 3-3 record is slightly more convoluted. With its last game

being a nail-biting defeat at the hands of San Diego State, Nevada will head to the “Smurf Turf” of Boise State and face an opponent it has not beaten since 2010. The look of the Nevada offense has not changed much since last season. Junior quarterback Cody Fajardo is still the leader of the pack in terms of yards and touchdowns (1,457 total) and touchdowns (12 total). However, the Wolf Pack backfield has some shifting around with the departure of Stefphon Jefferson to the NFL. Nonetheless, Nevada’s offense hasn’t had any problems putting up points this year with an average of 30.5 per game. However, like the offense, Nevada’s defense hasn’t changed much since last sea-

son, which isn’t a good thing. The Wolf Pack have allowed a back-breaking 38.2 points per contest and given up 488.3 yards of total offense. There are some individual stalwarts for the Pack DE Brock Hekking with 7.5 tackles for loss and four sacks and cornerback Markus Smith with three interceptions, but the group has been a deal-breaker for Nevada. The biggest key in Nevada’s first game off its bye week will be containing the Broncos’ offensive stars in quarterback Joe Southwick and running back Jay Ajayi. However, if the highly-praised Wolf Pack defensive line can’t pressure Southwick and Nevada’s offensive line falters, it’ll be another year of Nevada feeling blue in Boise. arbiteronline.com arbiteronline.com

Key Wolfpack to watch on Saturday Michael Steen • @MichaelSteen2

No.

No. 1

Markus Smith

Kendall Brock

Cody Fajardo

The senior defensive back has emerged as one of the Wolf Pack’s lockdown defenders in 2013. Smith has already hauled in three interceptions in his six appearances this season, including two against the University of Hawaii last month. Smith also ranks tied for seventh on Nevada’s squad in total tackles, racking up 17.5 total tackles in six games. If Smith is able to eliminate some of redshirt senior quarterback Joe Southwick’s targets on Saturday, it could help Nevada slow down the red hot Boise State offense.

Brock is an experienced back who has taken hold of the reigns in the Wolf Pack running game in 2013. The junior running back has racked up 417 yards on 100 carries and five touchdowns through six appearances for Nevada this year. Brock spent most of his time in 2012 as receiver, picking up just one carry on the ground. Now back to the running back position he held as a freshman in 2011, Brock is emerging as one of the Wolf Pack’s impact players on offense. The Broncos defense has been gashed by running backs in recent memory, and Brock is the type of player to do it again.

The junior quarterback embodies the type of player Nevada looks for in a starting quarterback to run their signature pistol offense. While Fajardo doesn’t possess the type of ambition as former Wolf Pack quarterback Colin Kaepernick had on the ground, Fajardo has the ability to stretch plays with his legs. Pair that with his arm strength that has racked up 1185 yards with five touchdowns and zero interceptions while completing 68 percent of his passes, and Fajardo could give the Broncos defense some troubles on Saturday.
