Fiance of dead woman arrested in Seattle Sherry Horton Journalist
Police have been trying to locate Lloyd Hardin McNeil, former fiance of the woman found dead inside her home off Beacon Street. McNeil left the home around the time of Natalie Davis’ death, driving her Suzuki Vitara. This led to a warrant being issued against him for grand theft. McNeil was arrested in Seattle Friday afternoon on the outstanding warrant. Davis’ death is listed as suspicious, as there is not enough sufficient evidence to consider it a homicide. An anonymous source, “Jane,” told police McNeil is Davis’ murderer and that he had been in the Seattle area for at least a week using the name, Hardin Lloydson. Ac-
cording to the source, McNeil seemed to be a nice person who talked about his ex-girlfriend and their tumultuous relationship. A friend called Jane to warn her about the man they had befriended and told her she was in danger from a possible murderer. Before Jane could leave the house, five squad cars pulled up. McNeil was soon arrested as he attempted to flee the scene. The Seattle police told Jane that McNeil had killed his girlfriend and burned her to a crisp, according to a report by KTVB. Davis’ car was found abandoned near a hostel where McNeil had stayed. The police tracked him by his cellphone. McNeil will be extradited back to Idaho, but police have not said when.
Boise State among top bike-friendly campuses Natalie Craig Journalist
The League of American Bicyclists program announced its top bicycle friendly universities this week. Boise State University was named one of 20 other bicycle friendly universities at the National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C. This award distinguishes universities that provide an environment that compliments and suits transportation via bicycle, making air more breathable and transportation costs low. “With fuel costs and carbon emissions on the rise and cities becoming more and more congested and unhealthy, now is the time for universities to step forward,” Boise State President Bob Kustra said. Universities received awards in the gold, silver, and bronze categories. Boise State received a bronze award along with Cornell, UC Los Angeles,
Emory, Indiana University and Michigan State. Stanford was awarded at the platinum level, with UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara taking gold. There were nine universities awarded the silver and 10 received honorable mentions. “Universities have long served as incubators for developing bike friendly cultures and practices, and that has a big impact on the expectations that students bring to the workplace and beyond,” said Bill Nesper, director of the league’s Bicycle Friendly America Program. Boise State’s Community Bicycle Congress Strives to draw the greater community and Boise State together to discuss global knowledge about alternative transportation. These events will hold workshops offering hands on technical assistance to make businesses and the community more bicycle friendly. The 2011 event will take place April 20-21.

Armed with a gun, granola, Jessica Fowler patrols campus Sherry Horton Journalist
ROBBY MILO/THE ARBITER
Jessica Fowler, 27, is a new police officer assigned to Boise State’s sub station. “Well, it’s not boring,” she said about a typical day on campus. “We try to do proactive stuff -- go talk to all the teachers; we walk through buildings to prevent possible crimes by being visible and seen.”
Officer Jessica Fowler, 27, is a Boise City Police officer newly assigned to campus security. Initially, she had wanted to be a pediatrician but after taking a couple of criminal law classes, she changed her mind, graduating at 21 with a criminal justice degree. “Well, it’s not boring,” she said about a typical day on campus. “We try to do proactive stuff -- go talk to all the teachers; we walk through buildings to prevent possible crimes by being visible and seen.” After graduation she accepted

a job offer in Boise. Fowler attended the Idaho Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) Academy for three months. After graduating, she continued more in-depth training. More instruction followed in the field when she worked as a mentor under a veteran patrol officer for another 12 to 14 weeks. When she passed training, she was assigned her own patrol car. Fowler typically works Thursday through Sunday. She arrives at 7 a.m. and reads everything that transpired through the night. She said they assist on traffic accidents, thefts, harassment and they try to answer questions and educate the community on laws.
“People really don’t know the laws, so they’ll ask us,” she said. Fowler said because she is the only patrolman assigned to the Boise State Campus Security, she is on-call throughout her shift, which means she can’t separate herself from work with a lunch or coffee break. If she is in the middle of her favorite delicious Italian meal and a call comes about a traffic accident on campus, she must report to the accident immediately. While the stereotype might be that cops love donuts, she stays away from them. Fowler prefers yogurt, a granola bar and fruit. “And I don’t like coffee,” she said.
Allies attack Libyan targets Regime says 48 killed McClatchy News March 20 -- Reporting from Tripoli, Washington and Cairo -- U.S., French and British forces blasted Libyan air defenses and armor, drawing intense volleys of tracer and anti-aircraft fire over Tripoli on Sunday at the start of a campaign that will severely test Moammar Kadafi’s powers of survival. French fighter jets and U.S. and British warships, firing more than 110 cruise missiles from the Mediterranean Sea, struck multiple military targets in the effort aimed at protecting rebel-held areas of Libya. The assault cheered the rebels, who had seized control of large areas of the country as they sought to build on months of discontent across the Arab world but in recent days found themselves retreating in the face of Kadafi’s superior firepower. Libyan officials accused international forces of hitting a hospital and other civilian targets. The armed forces said in a statement that 48 people had been killed in the strikes and 150 injured. Kadafi declared he was willing to die defending Libya and, in a statement broadcast hours after the attacks began, condemned what he called “flagrant military aggression.” He vowed to strike civilian and military targets in the Mediterranean. Later Sunday morning, Kadafi returned to state television airwaves, vowing, “We will win the battle,” and “oil will not be left to the USA, France and Britain.” “You are transgressors, you are aggressors, you are beasts, you are criminals,” Kadafi said. “Your people are against you, there are demonstrations everywhere in Europe and the U.S. against this aggression on the innocent Libyan people. The people are with us. Even your people are with us.” Government spokesman Mousa Ibrahim told reporters that 48 people were killed by the allies’ strikes and another 150 wounded near targets in Tripoli, Tajoura, Kadafi stronghold Surt, rebelheld Misurata and the eastern town of Zuwara. “If Libya goes down, the whole Mediterranean shall go down, the whole of Africa, the north of Africa,” Ibrahim said. “We are arming our people, men and women. We will not allow Libya to be lost like Palestine, like Iraq, like Somalia, like Afghanistan.” A nighttime gathering of supporters at Kadafi’s compound in Tripoli evaporated when word began circulating of missile strikes in the capital. The thud of cruise-missile explosions gave way to deafening barrages of antiaircraft fire that lighted up the sky. Both Kadafi and his international foes, who began their campaign less than two days after the United Nations Security Council passed a resolution demanding Libyan forces pull back from rebel-held areas, positioned themselves for an endgame that focused on whether the longtime leader would remain in power. U.S. officials acknowledged that they were seeking to oust Kadafi but also that they did not have a clear path to do so. For now, said a senior administration official, the military strategy was aimed at driving Kadafi’s forces into retreat and protecting civilians. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said Washington and its allies also were committed to using nonmilitary means to force Kadafi out, including steps intended to cripple the Libyan economy and isolate him diplomatically. Yet the limited advance planning puts the Obama administration and its allies at risk of falling into a protracted standoff in which Kadafi controls part of the country and the rebels another. U.S. officials have warned in recent weeks that a large ungoverned expanse could become a haven for terrorists. Seeking to rally regional opinion to his side, the Libyan leader cast the military campaign as another example of Western colonialism and a Christian “crusader” mentality toward the predominantly Muslim countries of the Middle East -- an effort likely to be hampered by Kadafi’s long history of meddling in neighbors’ affairs. France initiated the military action Saturday, launching attacks on Libyan government armored vehicles near Benghazi after an emergency meeting of U.S., European and Middle East leaders in Paris. French President Nicolas Sarkozy said his country and its partners were determined to stop Kadafi’s “killing frenzy.”

Who you callin’ racist? Whites only scholarship encourages equality Eva Hart Journalist
For years there have been scholarships offered to minority students such as the United Negro College Fund or the Hispanic Scholarship Fund. So why is it such a big deal if an organization in Texas has a $500 college scholarship for white men? Some might call this organization, run by Colby Bohannan, racist for offering such a thing, but this scholarship is no different from ones frequently offered by the United Negro Fund. Freshman graphic design major Kambry Richardson agrees that if it’s fair to have scholarships for other races, scholarships should also be available for white students. “I don’t see the whites freaking out about the other scholarships being offered,” Richardson said. “It’s even more racist toward white people if people are going to freak out about this. There are other scholarships people can apply for if they’re not white. I think this scholarship is good!” Our country proclaims equality for all; does that all of a sudden exclude
white people? People need to realize this scholarship is not trying to make things unequal for those who are of a different ethnicity, but to make things equal for Caucasians. Our generation shouldn’t be making amends for actions that took place before our parents were even born. White peoples’ ancestors may have enslaved black people years ago but that doesn’t mean any students applying for a scholarship now has anything to do with it. Students shouldn’t have to pay for mistakes that were made by people who aren’t even alive anymore. People from minority ethnic groups shouldn’t get life handed to them on a silver platter because of the past. Just because white people aren’t the minority doesn’t mean they should be put at any disadvantage.Bohannan’s organization insists: “We do not advocate white supremacy, nor do we enable any individual that does. We do not accept donations from organizations affiliated with any sort of white supremacy or hate group.” An editorial in the Los Angeles Times stated that “the Texas scholarship that excludes nonwhites betrays

ignorance of the point of minority aid: an attempt to counter centuries of white privilege.” It’s not about white supremacy and white people trying to take over, but there are white students out there who can’t afford to go to college and struggle to find scholarships because they aren’t part of a minority group. If people want to get rid of this scholarship, it would only be fair to get rid of any scholarship awarded to anyone based on color, ethnicity or anything else besides grades. Freshman radiology major Alexander Hartwell does not believe in awarding scholarships based on race. “Just because someone is black, white,or Hispanic doesn’t mean they deserve a scholarship more than a person of a different race. People deserve scholarships when they work their butts off in school, need financial aid and want to better society,” Hartwell said. Scholarships need to go one way or another. Either disregard race in the application process altogether or allow white people their right to a whites-only scholarship and leave them alone.

I think it should be reinvented and, you know, make it a students-only scholarship. Instead of giving scholarships to certain types of people they should give scholarships everybody who wants to go to school -- To everybody who wants to go to school and get an education.

Former wrestling champ reaches for shot at UFC title
es flowing in his veins most collegiate athletes feel when their run begins to wind down. A friend suggested he begin training in MMA, one of the fastest growing worldwide sports. That friend was Urijah Faber, currently one of the top bantam weight contenders in UFC. “Urijah Faber talked me into fighting, I was disappointed in how things ended (collegiately), and I still wanted to compete,” Jorgensen said. “It offers that excitement where anything can happen. A guy could be losing the fight, and with the small gloves we wear, get a knockout and comeback and win or a submission.” With the MMA seed planted in his head, Jorgensen began training. In MMA, a fighter usually specializes in a specific fighting style, while training in other forms of combat such as karate, jiu-jitsu and boxing, or in Jorgensen’s case wrestling, to be a more versatile fighter. Once Jorgensen began training, he called in an old teammate, coach and future business partner, Jesse Brock, to help him keep his wrestling on-point. Brock, wrestled for BSU from 19992004, then served as an assistant coach to Jorgensen when he was still wrestling for the Broncos. Brock is an instructor at Combat Fitness while continuing his own MMA training with Twisted Genetiks. “It allows me to do something I enjoy,” Brock said. “I get to compete, lead a healthy life style and hang out with my buddies.” The two started meeting with a group of other guys also interested in MMA training and formed Twisted Genetiks. “There was nowhere to train in Boise,” Jorgensen said. “We were in Garden

The UFC announced the merger between them and the WEC in the fall of 2010. “My goal is to get back to fighting for that UFC title and win it, I came up short in December by a decision,” Jorgensen said. “I’m right there. I’m probably one or two matches away from getting back to that level.” Currently Jorgensen (11-4) is ranked No. 3 in the UFC’s bantam weight classification and is preparing for his next fight June 4.

Naturally, Jorgensen has kept an interest in the BSU wrestling program. He continues to train with some of the current wrestlers, also noting the Broncos continued dominance of the Pac-10 and rise to national prominence. “They’ve got a great coaching staff in Greg Randal, Chris Owens and Kirk White. Right now, their taking it to a whole new level,” Jorgensen said.

Evansville plays in the Missouri Valley Conference, and is led by 6’5” sophomore Colt Ryan who averages 15.9 points a game and shoots better than 40 percent from three-point range. “They’re a really well coached team, they look like they have a bunch of kids that really know how to play. They’re crafty and they shoot the ball well.” BSU head coach Leon Rice said. With the Broncos coming off such an emotionally charged game last week, there might be some concern for a let down Monday, but Rice seems to think the exact opposite for his team.

Despite individual struggles, wrestling reigns in highest ever season finish Nikki Hanson Journalist
The national championship is the defining moment for every wrestler’s career. Boise State, with 10 eligible wrestlers, was prepared for an epic battle in the final tournament of its season. Boise State had seven wrestlers advance past day one of the 2011 NCAA Championships in Philadelphia, Pa. Day two, however, would result in more challenges for Boise State. The Broncos ended the day sixth in the team standings with 46.5 points. Three Bronco wrestlers remained in contention at the conclusion of day two, senior Adam Hall, senior Andrew Hochstrasser and junior Jason Chamberlain. Hochstrasser won his first four matches at the national tournament with commanding performances. Hochstrasser would face his biggest competitor of the night, No. 1 overall seed Jordan Oliver of Oklahoma State, in the title match. This was not the first time the two wrestlers had faced off against one another. Oliver won their first meeting by an 8-7 decision in an exhibition match at the All-Star Classic on Nov. 21. Oliver defeated Hochstrasser again in their second meeting in dual competition on Feb. 11 by a 5-2 decision. Unfortunately, Hochstrasser did not get the revenge he had been craving against Oliver. With Oliver taking control of the match early, Hochstrasser was not able to score a takedown to cut into the final 8-4 decision. Hochstrasser is just the sixth Bronco wrestler to ever reach the national title match and the fourth to place second at the NCAA Championships. The disappointment of a finals loss does nothing to take away from the incredible run Hochstrasser made at the NCAA Championships. Hall also hit his road bumps along the way to earning his All-American honors for the second-consecutive year. Hall suffered a last second takedown in the final seconds of his quarterfinal match against No. 8 Jason Welch to fall from championship bracket competition Still Hall would put it all on the line Friday in an effort to bounce back from his heartbreaking quarterfinal loss, beating Johnny Greisheimer of Edinboro by 11-3 major decision to clinch AllAmerican honors. Hall then went on to pin No. 11 Walter Peppelman of Harvard at the 4:20 mark to overcome a 10-4 deficit in the match. Hall never lost his composure throughout the match and was able to secure the win. The Boise State wrestling team began the third day of wrestling with Chamberlain’s consolation match against No. 5 Jamal Parks of Oklahoma State. Chamberlain claimed a 3-1 overtime win to avenge his only loss of the season when he had previously faced off against Parks. Chamberlain earned the first individual trophy
of the weekend for Boise State. Chamberlain clinched the first All-American honor of his career after his crucial win over No. 8 Ganbayar Sanjaa of American. Patience would be the winning factor for Chamberlain as he outlasted Parks in a sudden death victory with a takedown 28 seconds into the period, placing third in the tournament. Hall would be next in line as he finished in fifthplace at the tournament. Hall had a disappointing opening to the day with a loss in semifinal consolation action. Hall managed to rebound from his second loss of the weekend with a chance to redeem a quarterfinals loss to No. 8 Jason Welch of Northwestern. Hall built a 2-0 lead over Welch heading into the third period and extended his lead with the only takedown of the match. Hall put the match out of reach, 5-1, with a final point of riding time.

Broncos take back the WAC Glass awarded 2011 WAC Gymnast of the Year Genevieve Nutting Journalist
For Boise State gymnastics, its never been about the rankings or letting the heat from the pressure get in the way of performing at its best. This past weekend at the Western Athletic Conference Championship in San Jose, Calif., was no different. The Broncos came out on top to take the 2011 WAC team title against San Jose State, Southern Utah, Sacramento State, Utah State and Cal State Fullerton with a score of 195.70, almost one-point ahead of runner-up SUU. BSU won the WAC title in 2008 and 2009, but had it slip away from them in 2010 by just .10 to Southern Utah. “Our job for every practice or meet is to just get better,” co-head coach Tina Bird said.
“So when we get to a meet we can’t focus on the outcome or the judges score because we don’t have any control over that. We can’t focus on what place we’re going to get or what our ranking is going to be. But we can focus on our technique. We focus on the gymnastics and not the outcome.” Junior Amy Glass was awarded the 2011 WAC Gymnast of the Year as well as the individual title on vault this last weekend. This was Glass’s first career WAC title on vault, third title on vault for the season and seventh career vault title. For Glass, it was almost like a home meet since she’s from the area and had her family and friends there to support her. But even she still needed a way to keep the nerves away. “I try to take my mind off of it,” Glass said. “I’ll walk away, go put chapstick on, get some water, sit down and try to relax.” Senior Hannah Redmon earned the bars title during her last WAC meet. Redmon received a 9.850 to tie with Southern Utah’s Alyssa Click. This was her first career WAC title for the event, sixth bars
title for this season and her 11th career bars win. “I’m sad to leave, I just want people to think of me as a good teammate and that they had a lot of fun with me,” Redmon said. “Some good advice would be to always trust your coaches and your older teammates. When you are questioning things you’re not coming in here and getting a good practice in or putting all your effort in it because you’re more worried about why you’re doing something instead of just doing it.” On beam, senior Kelsey Lang earned a season’s best score of 9.875. Lang also tied with Glass on floor with a score of 9.750, tying them for 15th place. “Since I do beam and floor, they are both so different because floor, you can dance everywhere, but on the beam you’re only on four inches,” Lang said. “The beam is the most mental for me so it takes more mental conditioning and focus.” The team currently holds a 195.955 Regional Qualifying Score as they wait to find out where they will compete during the 2011 regional championships.

in 2006, Scooter had parasites all over his eyes, to a point where he couldn’t even sleep. Skinny and dehydrated, Scooter’s previous owners won him as a prize at a carnival, but didn’t know
how to take care of an iguana. Several veterinarians thought the reptile wouldn’t even survive; he refused to eat at other facilities. But since coming into Maxey’s possession, he’s grown into their number one animal ambassador. He is smart; iguanas are about as intelligent as a 4-year-old child, says Maxey. Scooter is potty trained, and enjoys taking showers and basking in the sun.
Where he’s been: Scooter has been on the Today Show, made banana mash with Martha Stewart and starred on many other local and national programs.

pop Our history is our strength Women’s History Month 2011 Eden Engberg Journalist Every March, something amazing happens, and no, it’s not just the hint of spring’s arrival. March has a unique meaning to about half of the population in Boise -- it is designated as Women’s History Month and is celebrated throughout the nation. The National Women’s History Project (NWHP) is a large sponsor of the monthlong event while raising awareness throughout the rest of the year. Their theme this year centers on shared history as our biggest strength. From their website, “Our shared history unites families, communities and nations. Although women’s history is intertwined with the history shared with men, several factors -- social, religious, economic and biological -- have worked to create a unique sphere of women’s history.”
The NWHP’s aim as an organization is to cultivate an image of the value of women as vital role models. This cultivation of role models is innate to the success of present and future generations of women and men who face the everchanging challenges of the 21st century. March 8 was International Women’s Day, a day set aside for the public recognition of women’s economic, political and social achievements. This year was the centenary celebration (1911 to 2011) culmination centered on a theme of equal access to education, training and science technology as a pathway to decent work for women. Hundreds of events were held worldwide; the United States had 263, Canada boasted 268 and the United Kingdom held 475 in honor of women everywhere. Boise State is no exception in the celebration with partner organizations such as The Women’s Center to bring

events to raise awareness about the silent history of women and their contributions. In the second floor of the Albertson’s Library the Curriculum Resource Center (CRC) created a display, “Women Who Dared.” The display highlights young adult and children’s books that exemplify the daring deeds done by women, past and present. A collection of DVDs and CDs honor musicians such as Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday with videotapes detailing Amelia Earhart’s aviation achievements. Other local monuments in honor of women and their achievements include the statue of Sacajawea in the Idaho Botanical Gardens and the Anne Frank Monument outside Boise’s main public library. To learn more, visit The National Women’s History Project at nwhp.org. The Boise State Women’s Center, which provides information about International Women’s Day among other things, is located on the second floor of the SUB, by phone at 426-4259 or online at womenscenter.boisestate.edu.
David Gasch Journalist Everyone older than 16, beware -- we’re being taken over. The little ones are attempting to invade the music scene and smother us with their kid pop tunes. The most recent one came in the form of 13-year-old Rebecca Black’s words of wisdom in her song, “Friday.” She solved Blue’s Clues, and told us Friday is in fact better than Thursday. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Look it up -- it’s all over the Internet. Though consistently called “the worst song ever,” it’s gotten more than 17 million views on Youtube.com. For some ridiculous reason, people are listening to it. There’s no way I can express the number of ways the video constitutes a fail. You’ll have to watch it yourself to understand what I mean. Firstly, I’ll reiterate a comment I made in an earlier column about another kid singer whose name I won’t mention -- the girl is 13 years old and she’s singing about partying and “getting down” on Fridays. So either she’s a seriously misled little girl or she has no clue what she’s
talking about. Second, even the auto-tune can’t quite help her voice enough. She’s a teenager and making a name for herself. Good for her. But I want to know how that song got listened to in the first place. The music video portrays a bunch of 13-year-olds driving cars and just being super excited that it was Friday. Black takes a bit of time out of her three minutes to explain that Thursday comes before Friday, which is then followed by Saturday and Sunday. I’m glad she let me know. Really. Sometimes I mix up the days. She also spends a decent amount of time deciding whether to sit in the front or back seat, but in the end she took the only open seat. I’m glad she figured it out. I think we should investigate this because somewhere there is a group of underage kids driving cars and “getting down on Friday.” Nothing about that is acceptable. I’m so tired of writing these columns and not being able to award shots because the people are too young. This shows what’s wrong with our society. We need to band together and subdue these runts’ attempts to overtake our beloved culture. I’m going to take the shot again this week, to help me listen to this song without scratching my ears off.
