There is nothing sexy about a “C” on a report card—especially if that grade is in sexual health. But a “C” is the grade that Boise State received this year based on the Trojan Sexual Health Report Card Rankings. “A C is a degree but everyone wants an A,” said Perry Truong, a freshman at Boise State studying marketing, about the rankings. The Trojan Sexual Health Report Card is an annual study conducted by Sperling’s BestPlaces. It ranks 140 colleges and universities across the country on the accessibility of sexual health resources provided to students on campus. Some Boise State students expressed confidence about the availability of sexual health resources on campus. “If I wanted information on sexual health I would go to the Women’s Center,” Truong said. “But I heard they provide free condoms at Norco.” This year, Boise State ranked 67th, losing 15 places from their 2012 ranking of 52nd. This computes roughly to a GPA of 2.1—or a letter grade “C” based on the Boise State University grading system. In the Sexual Health Report Card, university health services are graded on 11 separate categories including condom and contraceptive availability, and the availability of HIV and STI testing. “Every year you have an influx of people coming to college for the first time. Sexual health is a concern for them and they don’t know where to go or who to talk to,” said Andy Barsness, a junior studying communication. Boise State’s ranking may reflect a need for greater sexual health outreach by the university. “I don’t actively seek information on sexual health through the university, but even if I did I wouldn’t know where to go,” Barsness said.

Quick facts from the Trojan Rankings
8th
This is the annual Trojan Sexual Health Report card ranking college campuses.
Boise State has struggled to make the grade over the eight years that the study has been conducted. It had a highly inconsistent performance ranging from poor to slightly above average. According to Bert Sperling, the head researcher of Sperling’s BestPlaces, the overall trend among all universities has been improvement across the board in the eight years that the study has been conducted. “The Sexual Health Report Card is all about putting information in the hands of students so that they can make their own smart and safe decisions,” Sperling told The Arbiter. The Sexual Health Report Card itself has inspired students across the country to take initiatives to advance the cause of sexual health at their universities. “Often times students take our findings and go to the administrations at their universities to say ‘hey, we are not doing as well as we think we should, what can we do to improve access to resources and improve our ranking?’” Sperling said. The Internet has largely contributed to improved accessibility of sexual health resources. While student health centers have been slow to adopt the web as a means of getting information out, they are catching on quickly. “In the last five or six years we’ve seen a big change in the amount and type of information like contraception and safesex practices that is being made available to students,” Sperling said. The 140 universities selected for the 2013 Sexual Health Report are chosen by relative size by student population and are often compared alongside their collegiate peers. Peer universities are chosen based on athletic conference. Small universities that have an outsized influence, like the Ivy League schools, are also graded. In the future, Sperling’s BestPlaces intends to expand the study to additional universities in the United States. Princeton University is the number one ranking university this year.

tween those two entities.” The two entities to which Burbank refers are appropriated budgets and auxiliary budgets. According to the Glossary of Budget Terms on Boise State’s website, “Appropriated budgets are controlled and are not allowed to be overspent,” while auxiliary budgets are “selfsupporting units within the University.” “The way tuition goes through the state—it simply comes back to us and they

Utility costs on campus are broken up by electric, gas, geothermal, sewer, trash and water. The most expensive of these are electric and gas. The newest is geothermal energy. These utilities are paid for by a state-dictated plan called the central utility budget. For all buildings considered property of Boise State, the cost of utilities last year was $5,031,534 and cost an average
monthly fee of approximately $419,285. However, it is unclear whether or not these utility costs are covered by student tuition and fees. In charge of this budget at Boise State is Barry Burbank, the university’s senior financial analyst. “The central utility funds are those that are appropriated in source. Appropriated budgets are likely state-taxpayer, but may be tuition,” Burbank said. “I can’t tell you the difference when I get my budgets be-

don’t tell us which piece is which. It’s just a source of funding,” Burbank said. In accordance with the Budget Office’s revenue projections, in 2008 there were approximately 19,000 students enrolled at Boise State and the university was allowed $88 million dollars by the state (i.e. tax-payers). This year’s enrollment includes roughly 22,000 students, but state-funding has been reduced to about $78 million dollars. “When the bubble burst in 2008 they had to go through hold-backs. Tax receipts were down because income was down. It has not been restored to that level,” Burbank said. “That means we look at tuition to help fill the gap.” Affected immensely by this fiscal “bubble burst” was the cost of Boise State’s physical plant. Physical plant is the designated term which describes general upkeep for campus facilities. Included in the cost of physical plant are utilities costs. Five years ago the cost of physical plant was about $14.5 million dollars. It has now escalated to about $21 million dollars. To help these matters the university has implemented

the utilization of geothermal energy, beginning in 2013. “We are now on the geothermal loop with the city of Boise, and we’re adding up to 10 buildings that will heat as much as we can via geothermal,” Burbank said. “There are no greenhouse gases, it’s more efficient than natural gas and it’s always on.” To put it in perspective, the geothermal bill cost $11,000 last year. The gas bill cost a little under a million. Though the university’s higher-ups are constructing helpful and efficient solutions, the bills still have to be paid somehow. Taylor Sievers, senior general business major, thinks it would be ridiculous if any utility expenses were tacked onto the cost of tuition and fees, as students do not always utilize everything campus has to offer. “Most businesses pay for their own maintenance. They don’t expect the customers to

pay an additional fee,” Sievers said. “If there are parts of this campus I never visit, why should I have to worry about their electric bills?” In agreement with Sievers is Stela Saltaga, senior communication major. Saltaga argues that there are people who use campus services who are not students. “I know there are plenty of people who use things on campus and don’t even go here. I don’t understand why it would be necessary for students to have to pay for other people to use the tools that are supposed to be provided for us,” Saltaga said. Yet with all the help the state has granted, it’s still unclear whether or not the cost of utilities is covered by tuition and fees. “It’s a mystery. It’s just the way the system’s set up. How much of the produce proceeds in an Albertsons market pay utilities? It’s that same challenge,” Burbank said.

Aries (March 21- April 19): Santa has been watching you this year and he is not too pleased with your behavior. Santa is going green though and won’t be putting coal in your stocking this holiday season. Instead, he will be putting solar panels and wind turbines in your stocking forcing him to declare bankruptcy due to the high costs of delivery.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): BEWARE TRAVELER! This winter season, you will make plans to head home for the holidays. Make sure to pack plenty of provisions and buy the strongest set of oxen available at local auction. Your covered wagon should make the journey back east just in time to make it for Christmas next year.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): This holiday season you will be looking for love at the various parties and get togethers that are sure to take place. You will find your true love under the mistletoe and when you find that special person, make sure the moment is magical and romantic. Unless you end up under the mistletoe with the neighbors’ golden retriever.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): After consuming massive amounts of turkey, buttered rolls and pie this past week, you have slipped into a diabetic coma. In fact, I am not sure how you are reading this considering you are in a hospital bed hooked up to a slew of beeping machines. Just remember, don’t go toward the light and certainly don’t give Jesus a hug.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): This week you will find yourself disgusted with your wardrobe. All of those old clothes just aren’t cool enough anymore and it’s time to burn them in a barrel in the front yard, in full view of your astonished neighbors. From now on, you will drape yourself in velvet and the finest silks, just like the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22): Christmas gifts can be expensive and you may find yourself in dire financial straits this holiday season. In order to offset the costs of gifts you will try your hand at wood carving. Unfortunately, you will accidentally cut off your pinky finger after a few drinks one night. You’ll learn a valuable lesson: Don’t drink liquor and handle sharp knives.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Also, don’t look a regular horse in the mouth either. It’s extremely rude to look a horse in the mouth as they are very sensitive about their dental hygiene. Also, they have powerful hooves that could crush you in a moments notice. Just look them in their pretty eyes.
Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 19): Many people celebrate the holidays differently and you admire that, because you are an open minded, intelligent person who cares about world culture and diversity. In order to start your own holiday traditions, you look to ancient civilizations and their practice of animal sacrifice to make sure the winter snows melt away.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The dry Idaho air has begun to dry out your skin. Bits of dead skin flake off of your body at a rapid rate. Instead of purchasing an expensive moisturizer that may or may not help the situation, simply bathe in large amounts of light mayonnaise. This will make your skin soft and you’ll smell like sandwiches.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some loud and obnoxious neighbors may ruin your peace and quiet this holiday season. This may come as a surprise to you, since many of your neighbors are generally quiet and respectful. Sometimes you just end up in a jail cell next to someone who doesn’t appreciate the magic and wonder of the holidays.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You deserve a day off but you aren’t going to get it so you might as well just suck it up and get back to work. After all, life isn’t fair and money certainly doesn’t grow on trees. Except for when you meet a magical dwarf who gives you some seeds for a money tree that you are able to grow in your backyard.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): After polishing off a bottle of whiskey with a heavy drinking uncle, you will be informed about how badly the president is doing his job, how all the minorities are taking over the country and how your uncle seems to be able to drink deadly amounts of alcohol without experiencing unconsciousness and hitting his head.

Students, community give each other a hand Students give back with community involvement, while the community offers food to students in need
Getting Back Cher Wada Koenig Ben Moore, co-director of the Horses Bit Student Pantry, a non-profit food bank, said he finds it an honor to serve students and to be a part of their lives in this way. “The Horses Bit is a food pantry for students,” Moore said. “The Horses Bit is a joint venture primarily between two campus ministries and student organi zat ions - St.Paul’s Catholic Campus Center and the Crosswalks Campus Ministry.” The only criteria for accessing the pantry is students are asked to show their student ID. “If they don’t have a student ID we’ll serve them once but then we’ll direct them to some other food pantries that have better resources for non-students,” Moore said. “Other than that we don’t have any qualifications. If we have food we’ll serve people.” Students that come to

Horses Bit Director Ben Moore helps senior Chelsea Walsh get some groceries. the pantry are required to fill out a small information card, for data purposes, but Moore said it’s a pretty confidential process. After that, students are free to take things they like. “It’s a choice pantry so they get to choose what they want and what they don’t want,” Moore said.
“On average it’s two to three bags of groceries.” Moore said they don’t have a limit right now on how often students can come. Currently, they have students that come once every two or three months all the way up to twice a month. It just depends on the
need. Since the holidays are right around the corner, some people are not only in need, but might want to volunteer and help. “If people want to volunteer they most certainly can,” Moore said. “It’s a fairly easy training. We have a few volunteers that are fairly regular and some
that it just depends what’s going on.” Food drives are always helpful according to Moore, especially from the community. “So far we have not had to get any food, except our initial start-up food a year ago, from the food bank,” Moore said. “They’ve all come from other dona-
tions, which has been really helpful to us.” People who want to donate can get a list of popular items that tend to go out the door fairly quick, according to Moore. “They can contact us for that (list),” Moore said. “We try to be really cognizant of student needs so we have a lot of quick items and a lot of stuff that doesn’t take a lot of preparation. We have stuff for on campus and off campus people both.” The pantry doesn’t get many personal items donated to them. The pantry mostly offers canned foods and foods that aren’t perishable due to limited space. Moore said their goal is to eventually offer fresh foods. Students in need and students who wish to help out can learn more on Horse Bit’s Facebook page. The pantry is located upstairs in the St. Paul’s Catholic Student Center across the street from the Administration Building, on the corner of University Drive and Joyce Street. It’s currently open Tuesday from 4-6 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30-11 a.m. and by appointment. Page Design Tabitha Bower

Boise State fraternities, sororities and Honors College give back to the community by raising money for St. Judes and cleaning up the outdoors.
Giving back Hali Goodrich Staff Writer
The Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity (TKE) just finished their Teke Week eventa week-long fundraiser and competition between fraternities to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This year the final amount
The Arbiter
raised for St. Jude was $1,400. “For Teke Week we had a committee of about 20 guys that worked on putting it all together. We had an average of 25 guys at each event and around 100 ladies,” Boise State junior and TKE member, Daniel Taghdiri, said. Not only did Teke Week raise money for a greater cause but it also donated time to benefit the local Boys and Girls Club. “They brought about 100 kids to the SUB and we had blow-up obstacle courses, a jump house and slide.”
We had ladies painting faces. And we played soccer. After that each of the sororities had prepared games to play with the kids,” Taghdiri said. TKE organized Teke Week as an original fundraising idea and it had a very successful first run. For other organizations, service projects or events have almost become a tradition. The Boise State Honors College is a great example of this. Each year Honors students contribute between 750 and 1,000 hours to the greater community.
“The kinds of service projects we do are geared towards donating time, because our students have time to contribute,” Honors College Activities Coordinator Chris Hyer said. “The average attendance at events is about 20 students which makes it possible to do events year after year,” The events for the fall include volunteering at the Table Rock Cleanup, Barber to Boise and City of Trees races, Rake Up Boise and Adopt-aFamily. “Our target is the local community because there is
a direct impact,” Hyer said. It is clear that Boise State organizations and groups give back to the community and for every individual there is a different reason. Some do it for the feeling of accomplishment. “For me it is helping others. It is nice to see the smiles. I also like hard work because I feel extremely accomplished when it is over,” TKE member Jim Kemp said. For others there is a larger goal in mind: Considering the well-being of everyone involved.
“The best part for me is when people stop thinking about themselves all the time and start to realize that our collaborative happiness and well being is much more satisfying than anything else and the whole thing grows exponentially,” Tagdhiri said. Last but not least, it is important to have a good time and enjoy lending a helpful hand. “The service is a part of the Honors College experience, part of creating a well-rounded student and we have a lot of fun doing it,” Hyer said.

Students visit Capitol with ASBSU Hillary McCarthy
Students can get involved with the legislature at the Day at the Capitol event held near the end of January to talk about positive economic and societal impacts at Boise State University. The Day at the Capitol is for students to get together, capitalize in a higher education and increase in state revenues. Last year, the event included topics like: science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Boise State is serving a foundation for growth in the future. Along with the topics discussed last year with the legislatures, there were also presentations featuring the development of innovative educational delivery models to meet the needs of students, helping Idaho businesses thrive in a challenging economic environment and maximizing efficiency and improving academic quality. These are just three of the 10 presentations presented at Day at the Capitol. Cassie Sullivan, who is serving her first term elected in Associated Students of Boise State University (ASBSU) as secretary of external affairs, is recruiting 40 to 50 students for Day at the Capi-
tol for January 2014. “The political significance of this event is for the Associated Students of Idaho to come together and invest in higher education. Make it education, it’s our best investment,” Sullivan said. Sullivan is interested in recruiting students to speak to the legislatures about ways Boise State can get more funding. As of right now Boise State receives twothirds funding compared to other colleges in Idaho. Jamie Lundergreen, president of the Honors Student Association, is a student who attended Day at the Capitol last year. “I was assigned a few legislators, so I was supposed to make contact with each of them and escort them to some of the informational booths,” Lundergreen said. “For the most part, I talked to them about their experiences as legislators, and they also asked me about my time at Boise State. From my perspective, the Day at the Capitol gave both the ambassadors and the legislators an opportunity to understand each other better in the hopes of supporting and promoting all that Boise State has to offer.” Boise State has a lot to offer when it comes to making

Boise State evaluates LMS Keely Mills @PelozaJ
Madison Hansen, a junior English literature and gender studies major, doesn’t have any particular problems with using Blackboard for her courses. “I do find it useful, because I can’t imagine a better alterna-
tive,” Hansen said. Blackboard is the primary learning management system (LMS) used at Boise State. In 2012, the state of Idaho signed a four-year agreement with Blackboard Inc. to allow all educational institutions in the state to use the system for a reduced price. The price Boise

State pays per year for Blackboard is $194,750. According to Dale Pike, director of academic technologies, Blackboard was first adopted with the idea of using it mainly for online courses. So, eCampus was very involved in helping to choose the LMS. “The choice of the platform

their work as well as about my experiences at Boise State,” Lundergreen said. “It’s not an environment that students should be threatened by because it is meant to allow for conversational mingling. The important part is showing how much Boise State has to offer students and how it is impacting both Idaho and the Boise community.” Andrea Korn, who graduated in the spring of 2011, heard great things about Day at the Capitol. “I heard about the event
through some friends who at that time, were big into politics here at Boise State. They attended Day at the Capitol as ambassadors and talked to the legislatures about receiving more state funding so Boise State could continue to put on certain activities,” Korn said.

was largely based on the needs of those faculty who were teaching those fully online courses,” Pike said. Leif Nelson, coordinator of instructional and assessment platforms, is currently evaluating other LMSs which could possibly lead to Boise State adopting a new system. Nelson is looking for a system that could be used throughout all programs of the university to create consistency for students. “I don’t know of any comprehensive, ‘Hey-what-LMSshould-we-use?’ campaign that has ever happened,” Pike said. “So we are trying right now to ask that question.” Nelson is directing an LMS advisory group, made up of faculty and staff who are involved in creating courses, to help evaluate different LMSs. This group is making up a survey for students and instructors to figure out what the most important functions of an LMS. “The student voice, in particular, is one that has not been well represented,” Pike said. The hope is the survey will be dispersed around the beginning of next semester. “I think it’s going to take a considerable amount of effort to get the level of feedback we want, but we are so open to suggestions,” Pike said. According to Nelson, its strengths are that it integrates with a lot of different
tools and can accomplish a large variety of tasks, however that can also come with some drawbacks. “The more expansive that application gets, the more difficult it is to keep everything running and that has a major impact on quality,” Pike said. Nelson continued to explain that one of the reasons many people have a negative perception of Blackboard, is because people think that “their interface design is old and cumbersome.” Nelson said since Boise State has had Blackboard for such a long time, so many professors are used to it and using their same materials semester after semester. If Boise State changed to another LMS, all staff would have to be trained again and content would have to be transferred. “The fact that there is kind of that long history with Blackboard is one of the reasons of why we still have it,” Nelson said. Pike also expressed excitement for a new website of digital media tutorials that Boise State will begin licensing next semester. The purpose of this platform is to promote the idea of digital fluency. “Every discipline could benefit from knowing how to design an effective presentation,” Pike said. However, the name of the site cannot yet be revealed. To add input about Blackboard, contact Dale Pike at dalepike@boisestate.edu.
“Talk Nerdy to Me” is a technology column written by Derek Deulus. Follow him on Twitter @Deulus. Lets talk about Wi-Fi. WiFi works similarly to your car stereo. It uses radio waves. And similar to stereo, as more and more devices use Wi-Fi, the available bandwidth that Wi-Fi uses gets smaller and smaller. More devices create more interference similar to how radio stations bleed into each other when the station numbers are close on a dial. Let me explain. Wi-Fi uses two frequency bands. They are 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Think of these two frequency ranges as two major highways which data flow on. In the 2.4Ghz range there are 11 channels. Think of the channels as lanes on a highway. Now while 11 channels may sound like a lot, the truth is that like radio stations on a dial, these channels tend to bleed into each other so what we have to do is spread them apart. So in reality, it’s more like having three channels available at your disposal. Those channels are typically one, six and 11. Now when you live in a house that’s spread further away from other houses, you don’t have as much of an issue with interference. Your neighbor’s Wi-Fi signal has less of a chance of reaching into your house and so you have less interference. But for those who live in an apartment complex, everyone’s Wi-Fi signal is close to each other. Because these signals are extremely close to each other, they often collide with each other similar to cars on a crowded highway, which slows down your network to unusable speeds. So what’s the solution? This is where the 5Ghz frequency band is used. The trade off is that you’ll need to invest some money into a dual band router. Unfortunately, most Internet service providers don’t offer dual-band routers, so there is a high chance you are only running on the 2.4Ghz frequency. The upside is that most people don’t use or know the frequency exists. The other trade off is that 5Ghz will give you faster speeds but at a shorter distance. This means your Wi-Fi may not reach every room in your house depending on the size of your home.

When Mary Aagard walks into the Albertsons Library every weekday morning, she sees a building with massive amounts of information, resources and space students at Boise State deserve to utilize. “It’s a place of exploration, of freedom of thought, a place of privacy and a place of engagement,” said Mary Aagard, head of access services at the Albertsons Library. “We want it to be a place of thoughtful, busy study and we want to meet all of the students’ needs.” A typical day for Aagard includes helping students find study spaces, check out technology and get started researching for papers and projects. Aagard sat down with The Arbiter to discuss her top five favorite resources that the library has to offer students.
eBooks
Students who don’t live on campus or who want to use a digital device to read books can do so by accessing the large volume of electronic books available on the Albertsons Library website. “We have now over 200,000 eBook records inside our catalog so as soon as a student tries to access them, they are readily available,” Aagard said.
According to Aagard, students who access eBooks through the library website can access digital publications for 7-14 days but can always renew access with the click of a mouse. “It just takes a few steps and students have access to these books that they can download to their laptops and mobile devices,” Aagard said.
Library Personnel
Access to Technology If students are not able to afford a personal laptop or need to charge a dying cell phone, the library allows students to check out the technology they need to get school work done. “Students can check out all kinds of technology from Macs to PCs, phone chargers, headphones and portable disk drives,” Aa-
gard said. If a certain technology isn’t available to check out through library staff, the university can take steps to purchase it. “We try to be really responsive to students. So if they are like ‘Man I really want this,’ we will try and get it for them,” Aagard said.
Subject Guides
As semester-long group collaborations begin to wrap up, students can use library space to add finishing touches and access software for free such as Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat. “We have something called the collaboration lab on the first floor that almost nobody knows about,” Aagard said.
In any stage of a term paper or project Aagard’s best advice for those who seek help or knowledge on a certain topic is to ask the experts in the library. “We have great people in the library,” Aagard said. According to Aagard, library personnel can help students get started on projects both large and small with their knowledge of library resources and tools. Aagard said librarians and staff can help students navigate through resources available on the library website, saving students valuable time and preventing frustration. “One thing we want students to know is that we want our online presence to be just as helpful our in-person presence,” Aagard said.
Students who are taking a course subject they are unfamiliar with or want to brush up on already learned content can utilize the subject guides available on the Albertsons Library website. “There is a guides tab on the main page of the library website,” Aagard said. Library personnel con-
According to Aagard, the collaboration lab is under-used and students may not know about the resources available to them. “It has four workstation areas. There are four tables with a dual monitor station and scanners,” Aagard said. “It’s made for group projects.”
tribute material and information to the guides in order to give students a well -rounded approach to any subject. “All the staff and librarians have created these guides where they have put together the top databases, books in the area, links to data sets and it’s all in one place,” Aagard said.

Hoopsters bring their wheel game Every Tuesday students have the opportunity to participate in wheelchair pick up games Travis Greene, a Marine veteran, decided Boise needed a “more permanent” wheelchair basketball team. Every Tuesday night a group gathers at the Rec center courts to play a game of wheelchair basketball. They stay till about eight o’clock, making shots into the evening. Greene attended Boise State and then joined the U.S. Marine Corps. After getting injured, he returned to Boise and finished his degree. He was introduced to wheelchair basketball around the same time he came back to Boise. Greene said he was “stubborn at first” when approached with wheelchair basketball. Yet, those around him pushed him to try it out. “I didn’t have a choice,” Greene said. “I did it and had fun.” Greene’s been playing, and coaching, ever since. Realizing Boise didn’t have much of a wheelchair basketball program, Greene decided to initiate one. Having gone to Boise State, Greene knew the Rec center would be a good place to play. He got in contact with Boise State,

worked it out and the Tuesday night tradition began. Greene attended his last Tuesday night wheelchair basketball game on November 19 because he is moving to California where he already has a traveling wheelchair basketball team lined up. His replacement, Kevin Falk, took over that same night. Greene seemed to enjoy not having to act as coach for one night. “It’s kind of nice. I don’t have to do anything,” Greene said. Falk, who has taken on the leadership role for the program, lost his leg in a motorcycle accident five years ago. Falk was introduced to the program by Greene. According to Falk, Greene simply came up to him one day and asked if he’d like to play a game of wheelchair basketball. Since then, Falk’s has been involved in the program. Wheelchair basketball, and all the other sports he’s now involved in, have really opened up opportunities for Falk. “I play more sports now with one leg than I did with two,” Falk said. Falk has plans for the pro-

gram. He hopes to encourage one of the program’s regular players—Boise State sophomore William Negri—to start a club for Boise State students. He thinks that will open an avenue for students to consistently get involved. Usually a few regular players show up on Tuesday nights,-such as Negri, but according to Falk there’s usually new people every week. Often the regular players go around the courts recruiting other students playing on the floor. One of Falk’s main goals for the program is to get more people playing. One major
idea to accomplish this is the student club. Negri believes a wheelchair basketball club for Boise State students could help bring more consistency to the program and Tuesday night games. Negri, an undecided major, thinks the all-inclusive, teambased atmosphere of wheelchair basketball would be good for Boise State students. “I think it’d be a good experience,” Negri said. Negri heard about the wheelchair basketball program during his freshman orientation at Boise State

Imagine a significant other, one that makes the world seem whole. A person that makes everything seem alright in the world because they have given you their special attention. This individual makes trust a very real part of life. As defined in the dictionary; trust is the reliance on the character, ability, strength or truth of someone.
Trust is one of the most fragile components to human interaction, as well as one of the most important. Pete Schelsinger, senior communication major, spoke on the importance and versatility of trust in any relationship. “Trust is extremely important, but with that being said there are different levels of trust,” Schelsinger said. “Trust is a never ending process in any relationship.” Now envision this per-

son saying one thing and then doing another. Taking the trust that has been built from the ground up and damaging it in one fell swoop. They express their love constantly, speaking of such things as your uniqueness and most amiable qualities. However, with one break of trust these words can seem lacking in genuine nature. But then in a night that was supposed to be spent with their friends, they go on a date with another individual and you catch them in the act. There isn’t much that equates to complete confidence obliteration than having a trust betrayed. With the emotional side of a human being as sensitive as it is, how important is it to be able to forgive when trust is betrayed? Along with this, perhaps this forgiveness of misused trust can in turn fortify a stronger redefined trust for the future of the
relationship. Schelsinger gave some of his thoughts on this matter. “I read a quote the other day that said, ‘Never push a loyal person to the point where they don’t care.’ It struck me because sometimes it’s hard to forgive someone especially when the connection is lost,” Schelsinger said. He went on to describe the danger of breaking trust with a person. “Trust is a very fragile thing and once its broken its irreparable. It will never be the same,” Schelsinger said. Whether it’s a significant other, a best friend or family member, trust is integral part to any communicative dynamic. Think of it as a bank where you make deposits and withdrawls. When someone makes too many withdrawls, they incur overdraft fees and have to live with the constant reminder that they have no

Falk’s hope for the Boise State student club plays into his desire to integrate wheelchair basketball into the Boise community. The 53-year-old says he loves Boise State and being involved in the community. This basketball program provides another way to be involved. The Tuesday night games begin at five and have the floor till eight. They’re open to everyone. money. This applies to relationships as well, as trust defines the stability of any relationship and whether or not it will stand the test of time. Trust can be expressed in simple terms based on the rewards that come from finding people to fully feel confident in giving trust too. George Macdonald said it best, “Few delights can equal the presence of one whom we trust utterly

Danielle Davidson is currently studying abroad in Seoul, South Korea. This is her firsthand experience with living abroad. I hopped on the 5:30 a.m. train bound for the airport and was officially on my way to Japan! The flight from Seoul to Tokyo only took about two hours, so I arrived in no time, I was ready to discover Tokyo. Day one, from outside the Imperial Palace: My cousin picked me up at the airport and we headed to the heart of Tokyo. He had work to finish, and I had exploring to do. My first stop was the Imperial Palace. Though no one can sightsee inside, except for one day a year, people are still allowed to look from the outside. My first day navigating the streets of Tokyo was quite easy, probably due to my time finding my way around Seoul. Day two, Old Tokyo Street: SkyTree is a giant tower that overlooks Tokyo, making everything look minuscule when I stood at the top, looking down. When I stood back on the streets, SkyTree seemed to hover over everything else, it stood out among all the square buildings. The shopkeepers outside of one of the main shrines in Tokyo were kept busy with tourists and native customers alike. Day three, prayers and wishes: Saturday was all mine. I chose to explore the Ueno district in the afternoon. The zoo, the temples, the park, the museums, the city streets—Ueno had a little bit of everything. There were more people out than usual because it was a Saturday but the streets were exciting to weave in and out of. Day four, illuminations and I: Today was party day. My cousin, his family and friends were having a Thanksgiving party. Even though the turkey was delicious and the company was nice, one of the other girls and I took our leave after a few hours and went window-shopping in Ginza. Turkey, friends, family, giant department stores, rioting protestors and Christmas Illuminations all made the Thanksgiving celebration a day to remember. Day five, Goodbye: Goodbye Tokyo. I hope I’ll see you again soon and get to wander through your streets once more.

Bryan Piperno was just 9 years old when he began keeping his secret. The Simi Valley, Calif., youngster tossed out lunches or claimed he ate elsewhere. As he grew older, he started purging after eating. Even after his vomiting landed him in the emergency room during college, he lied to hide the truth. Piperno, now 25, slowly fended off his eating disorder with time and care, including a stay in a residential treatment facility. But surveys show a rising number of teenage boys now struggle with similar problems. High school boys in Los Angeles are twice as likely to induce vomiting or use laxatives to control their weight as the national average, with 5.2 percent of those surveyed saying they had recently done so, according to the most recent survey data gathered by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and the Los Angeles Unified School District. They are also more likely to have used diet pills, powders or liquids than boys nationwide. The numbers challenge old assumptions that boys are immune to a problem better known to afflict teenage girls. Girls still exceed boys in fasting to lose weight, but the latest data, from 2011, showed that Los Angeles boys were nearly as likely as girls to purge through vomiting or laxatives. They were also as likely as girls to use diet pills, powders or liquids without the advice of a doctor _ 6.2 percent said they recently used such substances, compared with 6.1 percent of girls. Some experts say boys are starting to face the pressures long placed on girls, as buff, bare men proliferate in pop culture. Boys today watch Channing Tatum strip as “Magic Mike” or weigh themselves against the muscular Dwayne Johnson. The nonstop chat-
ter of Twitter and Facebook has amplified those messages, therapists say. “Boys are growing up now with the billboard of the guy with perfect pecs and biceps,” said Roberto Olivardia, a clinical instructor in the Harvard Medical School psychiatry department. “You just didn’t see that years ago.” Teenage boys say abs are prized and ogled. Andrew Shrout, a 19-year-old junior at the University of CaliforniaBerkeley, said boys felt they needed to be very lean at his former high school in Long Beach, Calif. “Men are pressured to have as little fat as possible _ but you’ve got to pretend like you don’t watch what you eat,” Shrout said. He decided to lose weight for his health but also because another guy on the water polo team used to grab his stomach and jiggle it. “I can see why a lot of younger kids get sucked into a vortex and end up doing bad things,” Shrout said. Steroid use is also on the rise
Concert brings holiday spirit Courtesy

With Christmas just around the corner and everyone is getting ready, Music Department invites all the students and community to the annual Family Holiday Concert. The Family Holiday Concert is a traditional event held here in Boise State for 27 years. “It is one the largest event that we do. It is one event who pulls students, faculty and community together in the spirit of the season,” professor Craig Purdy, director of
the arbiter
orchestras, said. Different bands will be performing. The first half of the concert, “will kick off with instrumental jazz ensemble they will doing a lot of big band, holiday type arrangements. I think the percussion ensemble will be doing some famous carols like jingle bells and then they would have the audience sing along where everybody, usually have about 2000 people there, all singing along to Christmas chorals,” Michael Porter Ph.D, director of choral activities, said. Dr. Porter continued on with is description. “The first half ends with
the great big marching band coming in at the end. In the second half the choirs will sing the collection of Christmas carols called the Mini Moods of Christmas,” Porter said. This annual concert will also benefit the community. “It’s a beginning of December it’s a good way to kick off the holiday season and it’s a way to invite and involve the people from the community who may not have been to any Boise State music events,” Porter said. The concert will be beneficial for the music majors of Boise State as well.

Eating disorders plague teenage boys, too
Bryan Piperno, above, has struggled with an eating disorder since age 9. among Los Angeles teen boys, the survey found, with roughly one out of 20 saying they have used steroids _ only a slightly smaller percentage than those who had recently turned to diet pills, powders or liquids. Sports can pile on more
pressure. Wrestlers, for instance, often aim to lose enough weight to grapple with lighter opponents. For some competitors, throwing up or downing laxatives can be a gateway to a disorder that lasts beyond the sporting event.
“All the money from the tickets sales goes directly towards scholarships. And it’s one of our big scholarships fundraising so this is an immediate impact to the students, so the more people we can get at the concert the more we can help students,” Porter said. The significant part of the concert is that it’s not just for the music majors, but it is for everybody who likes music and wants to perform. “I think what’s most important is the large number of non-music majors that we have and it’s way to say that even though you may not being majoring in music but you still love to perform and you still like to have music in your life you can still participate
here at Boise State,” Porter said. Megan Mathews, communication major who plays piccolo in the marching band for the last five years and this would be the third time that she performs in the holiday concert. “I enjoy the holiday concert. The marching band has a very significant part of this concert. The marching band would run in, in the middle and play one song and then run out,” Mathews said. 140 students are in the Marching band. “It is obviously a wonderful season, the holiday season. We try to involve as many students and faculties as possible within the department and the community support has

been wonderful for this concert. Hopefully we will bring wonderful music and sense of joy and happiness and lead people with good warm fuzzy feelings right before the holiday starts,” Purdy said. This year’s performance will be different than years past. “We are trying to pull in some new elements every year, so we have ensembles up in the mezzanine we have small ensembles in the back of the auditorium so we are going from one performance to the next with a slight applause in between but more of the rapid fire approach to this performance,” Purdy said.

The Boise State wrestling team has had tremendous success over the years and has turned themselves into one of the top wrestling programs in the country. “There is no doubt that we get overshadowed,” head coach Greg Randall said. “But the people who follow wrestling know we have a good program.” Since 2000 the Broncos have won seven Pac 10 conference championships, have been a staple in the top 25 every year. They also have six top 25 finishes in the NCAA national championships. The Broncos opened their first match of the season last Friday night at home when they hosted Wyoming. Boise State lost 17-15 in a contest that came down to the last match. “We gotta be able to win the close wins to better ourselves throughout the season. Randall said. “Once you start winning those close ones you get higher rankings. Its just important to win those instead of losing those.” Boise State knows they have to get better if they are
going to avoid these losses and have success this season. “We got to show a little more hustle throughout the match,” Randall said. “Individuals need to hustle a bit more to try and get that momentum going.” Despite the early season loss the Broncos are optimistic about their success for this season. “I think this year its possible we can have three or four all-Americans,” Randall said. With another talented squad, a conference title is once again on the minds of the Broncos. “Every year we set ourselves to win a Pac 10 championship and place top 10 in the nation,” Randall said. “If everybody comes through we can achieve both of those.” If Boise State is going to achieve this they are going to have to get great performances by their two nationally ranked seniors JT Felix and Jake Schwartz both of whom are currently ranked fifth. “Myself and Jake Schwartz are the leaders of the team and everyone looks up to us and watches everything we do,” Felix

Senior class goes out in style Michael Steen @MichaelSteen2
Another senior night has come and gone at Bronco Stadium, and another senior class has left a lasting mark on one of the most successful programs in the country. “I know how much this experience meant to those guys and how much this experience at Boise State meant to them,” sophomore safety Darian Thompson
said. “If there was any way to send them off, we did it the right way.” A 45-17 win over New Mexico on Saturday night was the icing on the cake for a senior class that finished a regular season with an 8-4 record (6-2 MW), coming just one conference win shy of a rematch with Fresno State in the MW championship game next weekend. Redshirt senior quarterback Joe Southwick got the start against the Lobos, just
six weeks after he suffered a broken ankle against the University of Nevada. Southwick put on a story book performance in his lone drive of the night, completing on 2-of2 passes for 65 yards and one touchdown, finding junior wide receiver Matt Miller. “That was awesome,” Head Coach Chris Petersen said. “Two for two and a touchdown—no better way to go out on the last day on
The Blue.” The scoring drive took less than a minute and gave the Broncos an early 7-0 lead. “I’m really happy that we scored on that drive for Joe,” redshirt senior offensive lineman Matt Paradis said. “It was only three plays but it was important for him to get back out there and on our senior night on The Blue and experience one last drive with the offense.” On the defensive side,
redshirt senior defensive tackle Ricky Tjong-A-Tjoe and junior linebacker Corey Bell had a memorable nights on The Blue. TjongA-Tjoe had two total tackles, while Bell had seven total tackles, including one tackle for a loss. “It was a great performance from everybody from the offense to the defense,” Tjong-A-Tjoe said. “It’s great to win in the last game on The Blue so it was all about that. Just get that
win and finish it off right.” The senior class of 2013 became the first class in the last three seasons to go undefeated in a year on The Blue, a feat Petersen knows is a point of pride for his team. “Those guys have won a lot here at home and won a lot in general,” Petersen said. “To not get that last one would be hard to do.” The senior class will have one more game this year, a bowl game in December.
