“It went amazingly better than we had hoped, beyond our wildest dreams,” Bernards said. While she eminating with joy, it was apparent by the bags under her eyes that she was ready to go to sleep. “I’m so exhausted. I can’t wait to go home and shower and sleep,” Bernards said. Bernards said the rave hour around 2 am was the most difficult hour to overcome. “We all just all of a sudden got really tired, even the morale captains didn’t want to get up and dance,” Bernards said. A physically and emotionally exhausted Bryan Vlok stammered around frantically as he began to help clean up after the event. “Overall, it was one of the best times ever,” Vlok said. “It exceeded my expectations in every way.” Vlok was glowing with pride regarding the numbers they were able to reveal. “The people that showed up had such great attitude and big hearts,” Vlok said. “We asked for donations three times throughout the night and they made it happen.” Vlok’s eyes misted over as he expressed how touched he was by these people. “We did it. It’s amazing to see people’s hearts,” Vlok said.

Boise State students danced in the Dance Marathon for 17 hours to raise funds for St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network. Students danced from 3 pm on Friday to 8 am on Saturday on the gym floor of the REC Center. The executive staff of DM made a goal to raise $5000 by Saturday morning. The Dance Marathon is a national organization in which colleges that host it can pick which Miracle Network in which to donate their funds. Boise State chose to donate to the local St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network.

In it’s 113th playing, the Davis Cup came to Boise for the first time. Down the quarterfinals in World Group play, the United States hosted Serbia in Taco Bell Arena. Coming off a 3-2 victory over Brazil, USA would have to play near perfect to take down a talented Serbian team, highlighted by world number one, Novak Djokovic. Play opened up with a star-studded match, pitting Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, against world number 23, USA’s John Isner. Isner jumped out to an early 3-1 lead in the first set before Djokovic settled in. Djokovic took the first set in a tiebreak, 7-6 (7-5). “He gets to a lot of balls, I knew that going in,”

jumping out to a 5-2 lead in the first set. Troicki battled back however, to force a tiebreak; where Querrey rolled, 7-1. In the second set, Troicki continued his tenacious play as he jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the set, before taking it 6-3 to even the match. Troicki jumped ahead, winning the third set 6-4; blitzing through Querrey on serve in the final game. “I felt pretty good on the court.” Troicki said, “I felt good with my shots, I was making some good shots.” With his back to the wall, Querrey ran over Troicki in the fourth set, breaking serve three times and taking the set 6-1. “I stayed positive and kept with the game plan and played aggressive.” Querrey said. Both players exchanged
players.” Bozoljac said. The Bryans buckled down in the next two sets, taking the third 7-5 and the fourth, 6-4. “We always believed we could win the match.” Bob Bryan said. Drama ruled the fifth set as the match became just the second doubles match in history to last more than four hours and longest in terms of games played, with 76 games. Both teams held serve over the first 26 games of the set before Serbia broke to take a 14-13 lead. That would turn the match as Serbia took the following game to take the set 15-13 and the match 3-2 to give Serbia a crucial 2-1 lead heading into Sunday’s matches with Sam Querrey in a must win match against Novak Djokovic.

said Isner, “that’s why he is where he is right now.” Djokovic cruised in the second set and showed his dominance as he rolled Isner 6-2. “I think after the first set he became a lot more comfortable,” Isner said, “he started playing really well.” Isner fought hard to make it a match in the third set, but Djokovic was just too much as he took the set 7-5, taking the match in three sets for the first point. “Going 1-Love up in such important tie is obviously huge confindence boost for all of us,” Djokovic said, “it’s always better to star with that advantage.” In the second match for the USA, world number 20, Sam Querrey faced world number 44, Viktor Troicki. Querrey cruised early,
holding serve through the fifth set until Querrey broke to take a 5-4 lead before taking the set 6-4 for the come from behind victory. “It feels great, it feels great to help the team out, to tie it up.” said Querrey. Saturday brought the doubles match, featuring number one doubles team in the world, twin brothers Mike and Bob Bryan taking on Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac. Serbia came out firing, with Bozoljac, ranked 338 in the world, playing the best tennis of his life, as the Serbians took the first two sets in tiebreakers 7-6 (7-5), and 7-6 (7-1). “I knew that if I gave my 100 percent for one match, I can play on a really high level and I can match up with this good

The DM got off to kind of a slow start. The REC Center seemed barren as the music started and a handful of students began to dance in the center of the gym. Kelsey Lovell, dancer, began the night excited and fresh. “I’m expecting there to be a lot of fun and a lot of spirit,” Lovell said. Lovell was able to raise her personal goal by the time the marathon began. Edel Serafin, dancer, also
expressed his excitement for the event. “I’m excited, I hope I can last,” Serafin said. “I just hope that it’s fun, no judgments, no reservations, just fun.” Slowly more dancers trickled on to the dance floor over the next couple of hours. As the number of people increased, so did the level of excitement. Bryan Vlok, the external director of DM, was slightly frazzled but very enthusiastic at the beginning of the event. “We were suppposed to be going by three, we are a little behind schedule, hopefully we will be in full swing by four or five o’clock. We have exceeeded my expectations with set up, now we just need the people. We’ve built it, they must come,” Vlok said. By around five or six, nearly 300 students had shown up to dance the night away.
Serafin admitted to his physical state of exhaustion. “I’m a little tired, but I’m still good,” Serafin said. “I’m starting to feel it but I’m totally killin’ it out there on the floor.” Serafin was grinning ear to ear as he explained how much fun he was having. “I’m definitely having fun and it’s definitely meeting my expectations,” Serafin said. United Dairy Men of Idaho provided the dancers with dairy products such as milk, ice cream bars and cheese. Many dancers began to lean on the tables and try to sit down as they ate their treats, Vlok teasingly encouraged them not to sit down. Brittany Bright, dancer, started fresh and was still holding in there. “I’m hanging in there pretty well, I’m as fresh as I can be right now, water and ice cream help,” Bright said.
The Middle: 11 pm

as the event was coming to a close. He encouraged the dancers not to think about if they made their goal but rather to be proud of all they had done. Vlok began to count down from ten as his staff members revealed the amount of money raised for St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network. The group chanted their countdown as the numbers were revealed, the group had raised $5036, meeting their goal. A representative from Miracle Network walked on stage and told students that when they signed up they were given a wrist band. “The children at St. Luke’s get a wristband too, but they don’t get to decide when they take it off. So, you can either take your band off now or leave it on as a reminder of the great work you did here today at Dance Marathon,” the Miracle Network employee said. The group did one last dance in celebration and the dancers walked out with smiles on their faces, proud of what they had accomplished. Sophia Bernards, a DM staff member, stated how proud she was of everyone pulling through.

Grant to increase number of teachers of STEM Boise State, Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and several partner school districts across Idaho have been awarded a $1.125 million grant over three years to increase the number of highly qualified teachers of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in the state. The grant provides $375,000 a year to support summer institutes in STEM teaching and learning for K-12 teachers at five locations across the state. The U.S. Department of Education’s Mathematics and Science Partnerships program awarded the grant through
the Idaho State Department of Education (ISDE). Courses called “strands” are the primary focus of the three- or four-day intensive institutes. In the strands, about 15 teachers explore indepth STEM-related content such as mining, energy, nutrition and robotics. In addition, they learn how to integrate technology into their instruction, interact with regional and nationally recognized experts, plan in teams for using what they learn in their classrooms, and network with each other to learn more about best practices in teaching STEM.

Cherie Buckner-Webb.
Biologist’s Research holds promise for fighting cancerous tumors Boise State biology professor Allan Albig is working in a relatively new area that examines the interactions between the body’s cells and connective tissues that surround them. Unraveling their mysteries could hold promise for slowing or stopping the growth of cancerous tumors. Albig received a $300,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health for his biomolecular research. A major goal of the work
done in his lab is to discover and characterize extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and other proteins that positively or negatively impact angiogenesis, the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels. Angiogenesis is a normal and vital process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing. However, it is also a fundamen-
tal step in the transition of tumors from a dormant state to a malignant one. Discovering how these molecules interact with cells could lead to the treatment of diseases associated with excessive or insufficient angiogenesis, such as cancer, vascular diseases, obesity and even baldness. Albig is working with graduate student Arpita Malik and three undergraduates on his three-year project.
Video documents lives of area Latinos The documentary video “Latino Community in Treasure Valley, Idaho,” which Boise State students helped to produce, will premier at 5:45 p.m. April 22 at Washington Group Plaza Auditorium, 720 Park Blvd., Boise. Bilingual education and communication students collaborated
last summer to produce the first documentary video on the lives of area Latinos. “The purpose of the 50-minute documentary is to give voice to those who helped build this community,” said Claudia Peralta., chair of the Department of Bilingual Education. The video also sought to include
a younger generation of Latino students who continue to contribute to the life and economy of Idaho. The students were part of the interdisciplinary course, “Documentary Production: Interviewing Refugees and Immigrants,” offered by the departments of Bilingual Education and Communication.

Got a bone to pick with genocide? Jessica Adamson Staff Writer
One million white clay bones will be laid on the National Mall in Washington D.C. in am art installation, from June 8 through 10. Among the hundreds of thousands of bones will be my bone, a basic approximation of a leg bone crafted by my own unskilled hands. My bone will lie with others to create a mass grave, representative of the millions of people who have died in modern-day genocides. For the last three years, the One Million Bones project has worked with students to raise awareness of genocide and involve ordinary people in the creation of art. On Thursday evening,
public relations students hosted a One Million Bones event as part of service learning for Communication 482. The event took place at Boise State’s Center on Main during downtown Boise’s First Thursday, giving people the opportunity to contribute to the project. “We were focused on the event as an awareness event,” said Christina Heinert, senior Communications major and PR student. “We thought First Thursday was a good avenue because it (draws) people from the community who are interested in the city and interested in art already.” Individuals were invited to come in to the center, learn about the project and create a bone of their own to help reach the goal of one million. Many people there
were like me, having little prior knowledge about the atrocities of genocide and lacking artistic ability. “When you say genocide, people are like, ‘World War Two? Hitler?’ No. Still today, happening now,” said Jamie Lish, coordinator for the One Million Bones project in the state of Idaho. One Million Bones was created by Naomi Natale, an artist and activist whose experiences in Africa drove her to create the project as a way to produce a poignant art installation while educating and raising awareness along the way. Beginning in Natale’s home state of New Mexico, the project has expanded across the United States and the world. Lish, a Boise State alumnus, was selected as Idaho’s
coordinator just last summer. Her ties to Boise State have been integral in helping to accomplish the project’s goals, both through the service learning department and Service Saturday events. “(The students) are awesome,” Lish said. “I’m not even kidding you, we could not have been this successful without BSU.” Because Idaho was relatively late in joining the project, Lish was given a quota of only 7,000 bones to fill. Idaho has now contributed over 25,000 bones. The First Thursday event proved that the project is still going strong. “(The event) was supposed to start at 6 p.m. but people started coming in at 5:30 and we made about 25 bones in the first 30 minutes of not even being officially open,” said Kodie Stanley, junior PR student and communication major. For each bone made, $1 is donated to organiza-
tions such as CARE USA and Students Rebuild to help assist those affected by genocide and violence. For Lish, the art makes the message all the more powerful. “You can talk to people until you’re blue in the face and sometimes they get it and sometimes they don’t,” Lish said. “When you use your hands and you make something into art, and you display it for people to see it’s really a visual petition to get people’s attention.” Looking forward to the final stop in Washington D.C., Lish expressed amazement at the journey the project has taken. The PR students were also proud of their successful event. “When we see the pictures of it, it’s going to be really fulfilling for me because I was a part of something that’s possibly going to help the world,” Stanley said. “It’s been a lot of hard work and we’re happy to see it finally pay off.”
Genocide Around the World
Democratic Republic of the Congo: Violence has resulted in the deaths of an estimated 5.4 million civilians since 1996. Sudan and South Sudan: The Darfur conflict has displaced over 2.7 million civilians and killed at least 200,000. A 22 yearlong civil war, from 1983 to 2005, lead to the deaths of approximately 2 million people. Syria: Since March 2011, conflict between government and revolutionary forces has resulted in 70,000 deaths. 1.2 million more have been displaced by violence.

Red Circle presses art Courtesy Devin Ferrell
The Public Affairs and Arts West building is an anachronism of a developing urban university. It is more akin to a grade school than college campus: lockers line the hallways —double stacked to accommodate a mass of teenagers rather than the adults that use the building. The classrooms look like art rooms with long desks, high stools and paper everywhere. The most noticeable piece in the building is yet another anachronism: the printing press. It is here that Karl Leclair and the Red Circle Press create their artwork. The Red Circle Press has been on campus since 2005. It is a club of about eight active members and four officers. “The Red Circle Press is Boise States printmaking
club. Our mission is to promote awareness for printmaking in general within the Boise State community and Boise’s art community,” said Karl Leclair, President of the Red Circle Press. “Make it recognized as a viable form of fine art, a lot of times people don’t think of printmaking as a fine art.” The modern printing press was invented in 1440, in what is now Germany, by Johannes Gutenberg. Since its inception it has been recreated and evolved into contemporary presses used today to print newspapers, bibles, textbooks and magazines. The Red Circle Press seeks to promote awareness of the press as a tool for creating art. To create art, members like Leclair create stencils on wood placing them on the press. Ink will outline the stencil on the
wood. It requires a delicate touch as Leclair adjusts the wheels that will increase or reduce the pressure applied to wood piece. With the right touch—and after several trials and errors—the print is completed. “My favorite part of Red Circle Press is being part of a community of like-minded artists to practice and promote what we love to do, printmaking. I enjoy the camaraderie, the exchange of ideas, and the participation in the broader art community, as well as attending events and having shows,” Leclair said in an email. Leclair will present his presses for the fine arts program April 12 at the Liberal Arts Building. May 2 the club will present the artwork of its members at the Modern Art Show at the Modern Hotel.

Metal Club presents ‘Catalyst’ Taylor Bauman Staff Writer
Metal is on display in the Student Union Building. The Arts and Metal Club presented their exhibition ‘Catalyst’ on April 4. The reception took place in the Student Union Fine Arts Gallery. The gallery was filled with pieces of fine art created from various mediums. Copper, silver, resin, embroidery, glass, silk, pearls and even tampons were selected by the artists to create their works of art. Along with the art, the gallery was filled with many artists, students and even non-student attendees who came to view the works of art provided by the Arts and Metals Club. Many artists attended the event and were able to share their past experiences with metal arts. One artist at the event was Everett Hoffman, a senior working toward his Bachelor of Fine Arts with an Art Metals emphasis. Hoffman was very excited about his piece “Cream” which was displayed at the reception and also selected for the front of the Catalyst post card that was mailed out to the public. Hoffman started his metals experience with an intro class and “loved it.” “Metal art can be very tedious and frustrating at times,

SUPS performance hits the SUB stage
Cher Wada Koenig Staff Writer
The Student Union Building (SUB) was checkered with various people as the seven members of Soul Patch started to play on Friday afternoon as part of the Student Union Performance Series (SUPS). The scene was that of people eating, studying and others jamming to the sounds of tunes being amplified through the usually calm seating area. The place livened up quickly as people applauded and scrambled around to find the best seating, which included some students scurrying to quieter areas for studying. Katelyn Watson, geosci-
ences major, was among the actual studiers trying to find peace and quiet. “It was alright, (but) I was trying to get work done. It’s fine but I was just going to head out to a quieter spot. It’s probably fun for a lot of people though,” Watson said. Although some people were admittedly a little bothered by the sound level, others seemed to enjoy it and congregated specifically for that reason. The SUB seating area remained full of life and full of upbeat sounds until the band played their last set, a song by the Eagles, which allowed the audience to slowly dissipate throughout the rest of the building. When headliners Blaze
and Kelly finally took the stage, the room was fairly cleared out. The place was once again quiet as the two women started to play with a somewhat Simon and Garfunkeltype of feel. Their first song was announced as an original by the two women which seemed to mesmerize the remaining crowds. Although this duo never attracted the full house like the first band, when they broke into their rendition of “Over The Rainbow,” the energy from the small crowd was incredible and people walking past in the hallway started to transition their steps into dance moves which went along with the music. One student who came in

Center, located directly behind Quiznos. The Emeritus Guild, consisting of designated Boise State employees, who currently are retired, remains a very active part of campus. Although it is centrally located at Boise State, it functions as a whole separate entity from the university, re-
leasing their own newsletter, calendar of events and even endorsing the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. In addition to their meetings, parties, lecture and speaker series, they continue to display their art in various forms. In January, they displayed Fiber Arts. This April, it was
Fabric Arts. Nine artists in the Emeritus Guild exhibited their personal fabric arts. The designs ranged from quilts to crochet to embroidery. In the array of designs, there were floral prints, bright fabrics, lace weavings and also rustic fall textiles. Carol Fountain, a former
instructor of nursing at Boise State, said, “Eight Degrees here and now we’re sewing.” Janet Davis, a former librarian at Boise State, chimed in, “And croqueting and quilting.” The Emeritus Guild Center is comprised of two floors, currently decorated with the Guild’s creative endeavors,
original songs, it was a perfect end to a beautiful afternoon on campus. “I’m glad that Boise State’s doing this; it’s really awesome,” Maculley said. “I never saw this last year so I’m glad that this is happening.” from the entry way to the pathway upstairs to the office in the corner beside the kitchen nook. However, most of the artists congregated together near the hors d’oeuvres, conversing amongst themselves. The art show remains ongoing, with different themes during each exhibition.

Calling all chalkers Cher Wada Koenig Staff Writer
Can chalk go on the wall of the REC center? Recreation Services sure thinks it can. Lisa Stuppy, director of Recreation Services, said the current artwork is fading and it is ready for something new, hence the Chalk Art Contest. Stuppy said last year one of their staff members chalked the wall, and after they posted it on Facebook and saw the huge response to the art, they decided to try and make it a recurring theme. This will be their pilot contest to see how much interest they gain. If it’s a hit, they could potentially repeat this contest about every six months. “I kind of came up with the idea of ‘what if we opened it up to all students,’” Stuppy said. “Where they could sub-
mit a drawing and they could then chalk on one of the blocks of concrete, if you look at that wall they’re sort of sectioned off by concrete blocks, so it would be really easy to divide it into 10 or 11 (sections) that folks could chalk on.” She said she likened it to Freak Alley in downtown Boise (the alley that runs from Eighth to Ninth streets in between Idaho and Bannock streets). “I thought it would be a unique way to highlight some of our students’ art on campus,” Stuppy said. “And give them another avenue to express themselves.” The deadline for submission is 5 p. m. April 12. Notifications for selected artists will be April 17, with the actual art applications happening April 20 to 25. Online voting will also take place enabling winners to be announced on May 13.

Hughes Project delivers at the SPEC Nathan Updike Staff Writer
The sound of a trumpet pierced the air of the auditorium, grabbing the audience’s attention. As the playing continued, a man appeared from the side of the stage. He gradually, yet tastefully, walked out, whaling on the brass instrument. As the playing comes to an end, he sets down his trumpet and walks to the microphone. Ron McCurdy is his name. He is the director of and also a participant in the performance. McCurdy began by giving a quick introduction for the presentation. “If Langston Hughes was still alive today, he would be a rapper, but a clean rapper; no Little Wayne,” McCurdy said. On Friday night, the Langston Hughes Project: “Ask Your Mama, 12 Moods for Jazz” came to the Special Events Center. “What Professor McCurdy and the Langston Hughes Project does is
add feeling and emotion to Langston Hughes’ works through the use of Jazz,” said Logan Kinney, a junior majoring in health science and also one of the three students who helped organize this event. “Emotions that are difficult to understand without having access to the multimedia platform that we will be using for this presentation.” “Ask Your Mama” is a multimedia performance of Langston Hughes’ 12-part poem “Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz” with musical accompaniment. It is performed by a jazz quartet, including McCurdy as one of the performers. The quartet consisted of a pianist, upright bassist, percussionist and McCurdy on the trumpet. After the introduction, the presentation began. As McCurdy read, and even sang the poem at times, the band played a variety of different kinds of jazz, which were guided by “musical cues” in the poem. McCurdy said that
these musical cues were not written in the original poem, but rather were interpreted through the words which Hughes used. There were multiple opportunities for audience participation in which crowd members were encouraged to participate in singing, clapping and snapping. The multimedia part of the performance featured numerous pictures and clips which related to the text being read. McCurdy said the video was added to help keep the audience engaged. During the performance, there were multiple breaks from the reading in which one of the musicians was able to solo. Each performer got at least one chance to have the spotlight. Throughout the night the band seemed to feed off of the crowd’s energy. This connection only grew as the performance progressed. When discussing the purpose of the event, Kinney said it is more than

Pedaling into the future Boise Bicycle Share Program
Ammon Rainey Staff writer
Cars are quick and convenient. Cars are also expensive. The costs associated with driving a car go beyond the price of gas and insurance. There are also costs to the environment and personal health. In today’s fast-paced culture it can be hard to find time to get exercise. It’s easier to use a car instead of a bike or your feet. While quick errands are often made quicker through the convenience of a car, saving time can have negative effects. According to Central District Health Department (CDHD), around 80 percent of all errands are performed within three miles of home or work, with 60 percent conducted within one mile. CDHD also claims that cars are less efficient and create more pollution per mile during shorter trips as opposed to longer ones. The speed and convenience of cars can be a problem in relation to increasing obesity rates as well. Adults are supposed to get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day, but they’re not. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Idaho’s obesity rates have roughly doubled in the last twenty years, rising from 10 to14 percent in 1990 to between 25 and 29 percent in 2010. These are problems that Central District Health seeks solutions to. And they’ve found one in a thing called
bicycle share. “It’s the wave of the future,” CDHD spokesperson Dave Fotsch said. Bicycle share programs have been popping up in metropolitan areas all over the country in the last few years. San Francisco, Boulder, Denver, Madison, Miami, Buffalo and Washington D.C. are among them. New York City and Seattle both have plans in the works. These programs operate similarly to Zip Car, in which cars are available at certain locations for short-term use and a pay scale is devised based on how much time the vehicle is utilized. Bicycle share programs provide similar fast access to transportation, but add the benefits of zero carbon emissions and exercise for the user. They are cheap, efficient, healthy and environmentally friendly. This is why Boise, due to its size and population, is prime for establishing a bike share program of its own. And members of the Boise State community have been active in getting it started. Illustration dakota wood/THE ARBITER
in the Beginning
And then there was Boise State
Fotsch first pushed the idea a couple years ago. “It was an idea that I pitched to my director… because I started seeing a bunch of stories about these things in the news,” he said. It seemed like a good idea to him because “it achieves some of the things,” Fotsch explained, “that we are trying to accomplish in the community.” He described cycling as “a form of active transportation… instead of getting in a car, people are getting on a bike and they’re moving.” In addition to exercise, he included improving air quality and reducing traffic congestion downtown as parts of CDHD’s strategic plan to make “that part of the city more livable.” He explained how studies have shown that a variety of transportation options corresponds to a city’s livability. After pitching the idea to his director, Fotsch was given the opportunity to work with CDHD’s grant writer, Hilary Flint Wagner. Together, they began meeting with potential stakeholders, “trying to gauge the interest of these different groups in getting involved in this,” Fotsch said. This is how their partnership with Boise State University’s Parking and Transportation Department began.
“Central District Health came to us because they had zero bike shop experience,” JC Porter said. “They didn’t know how much it would cost to keep a bike up and going… so we were helping them walk through that… that’s how we got started on the process.” JC Porter, as assistant director of Parking and Transportation services, oversees the campus Cycle Learning Center. He takes bicycle transportation seriously. “I try to ride my bike every day,” he said. “Last year I did better, there was only like three days that I didn’t ride the whole year. This year, with the snow and ice, there was like two weeks that I couldn’t ride, so I was pretty bummed.” Beyond being an advocate for bicycle transportation, Porter says the bike share program is “a good thing for Boise State… It’s just about transportation options, giving people access to campus and off-campus.” The Boise State campus was recognized early on as a priority area for the program, thus, CDHD asked Boise State’s Department of Regional and Community Planning to develop a service area map. According to CDHD’s business plan, graduate students and faculty in the department used data provided by Southwest Idaho’s Community Planning Association (COMPASS), Ada County Highway District (ACHD) and the City of Boise to create a “heat map.” The information utilized included, “residential and employment densities, transit routes, bike lanes and paths, and attractions, such as libraries, restaurants, sports arenas, shops and the Boise State campus itself.” The heat map is “a guide to where the researchers believe it makes the most sense to locate bike stations. Those areas in red hold the most promise, with the areas of cooler colors holding the least.” The study found the bulk of the downtown area and Boise State campus to be “the best locations for bike share,” according to Fotsch. As a result of this study, CDHD found it best to launch with 14 bike stations and 140 bikes. According to a BBSP business plan, the cost for these stations and bikes are estimated at $650,000.
In Search of Federal Funding The business plan for the Boise Bicycle Share Program (BBSP) was drafted last year as planners applied for Federal grant money. They were denied any funding last year, but have had much more luck this year. The COMPASS board, which is made up of various agencies throughout the treasure valley, recommends how to distribute Federal funds allocated to the State of Idaho for development projects. CDHD had the opportunity, according to Fotsch, to apply this year through two different programs, the Transportation Alternatives Program and the Surface Transportation Program. BBSP was chosen to receive $287,000 this fiscal year and $53,000 next fiscal year through the Transportation Alternatives Program. Furthermore, Fotsch said that BBSP was “also recommended under the Surface Transportation Program for the remainder of the money, $326,000, at some point in the future, no later than 2018.” This might sound discouraging for those who want to see the program implemented much sooner, but Fotsch explained how, “there sometimes are programs and projects that don’t get completed or don’t ever get started, so at the end of each fiscal year, there are leftover funds.” BBSP is number one on the list of programs recommended for funding through the Surface Transportation Program, which means they have a good shot at applying for and acquiring year-end funding. Another advantage is that they are only hoping for a little over $300,000, whereas other recommended programs are asking for funds ranging from $595,000 to $9,486,000. “Because this is a relatively small project,” Fotsch explained, “asking for $326,000 as opposed to a nine-anda-half million dollar road project for ACHD, our chances of getting yearend funding this year or the next… are extremely good.” CDHD, Boise State University Parking and Transportation Services and the City of Boise have also already committed to funding the project, pledging $44,000, $10,000 and $64,000, respectively.
Beyond Funding Issues BBSP still has a lot of other kinks to settle besides funding, but acquiring the funding was an important first step. “We don’t want to sell a product we don’t have,” Porter said. As of now, BBSP’s steering committee--made up of representatives from Boise State Parking and Transportation, City of Boise, Boise Parks Department, Capital City Development, Boise Bicycle Project and Valley Regional Transit—has sent out a request for qualifications. Fotsch explained that, while they want BBSP to be a non-profit organization, they are hoping to contract the daily operations to an entrepreneurial entity, possibly an advertising agency. Fotsch explains their organizational goals as such, “Once we get the money, the assets will actually belong to Valley Regional Transit… for insurance purposes… The reason we chose this dual identity is that a non-profit can apply for some grants that a transportation agency like [VRT] cannot and vice-versa. Plus, VRT has experience administering Federal grants… The third layer… is that we are looking for a private company to actually operate the system.” An advertising company would be ideal because advertising revenues are likely to be the best source of revenue for the program. Advertising can be placed on the bicycles and at the stations. Both Porter and Fotsch stated that, based on statistics from other bike share programs around the country, revenue from usage of the program is likely to cover only about a third of operating costs. The private company would handle the selling of advertising, sponsorships, and memberships, as well as the basic, daily, operational costs and tasks necessary to keep the system going. These tasks would include maintenance of kiosks, stations and the bicycles themselves, as well as rotating bikes from over-crowded stations to less crowded ones. The request for qualifications, according to Porter, will hopefully attract groups who will respond with business proposals and then BBSP’s steering committee can choose what fits the best with the program’s goals. The goal, according to Porter, is to have a self-supported system that can eventually grow into other areas of the treasure valley.
The Future is Bright If everything goes well, BBSP could launch as early as next spring, according to Fotsch. But there’s no telling what will happen after that. Other cities with similar programs haven’t gathered much infor-
mation on the best ways to organize and implement a system, according to Fotsch. Besides, most cities that have implemented similar systems are much bigger than Boise, so, as Porter stated, “One model
doesn’t necessarily work across all the different areas.” One of BBSP’s hopes is to compile aggregate statistics collected by GPS tracking systems on the bikes to make a kind of “manual” to help other cities
develop their own programs. But those involved in planning still have a long way ahead of them. Porter said. “There’s lots of options and we’re trying to exhaust all the options to get a program up and run-
ning in Boise as soon as possible.” Whatever occurs, it’s clear that in a city like Boise where, arguably, there are not enough transportation options, this is a step (or pedal) in the right direction. page design Bryan Talbot/THE ARBITER

Track and Field
Corey Morgan Staff Writer This past Thursday, Boise State Athletics announced that J.W. Hardy, Boise State Track and Field coach, had been fired.Hardy’s firing comes as a shock to some after the success of his coaching in his 4 seasons at Boise State; 2010 WAC Cross-Country championship and 2011 WAC Indoor Track and Field Championship. While Boise State Athletics have not given out specifics on exactly why Hardy was fired, Hardy has assumed the innocent role in the matter. “Usually the assumption is if you get fired, you’ve done something wrong, but I stand with a clear conscience” said Hardy. Although Hardy will not remain with the team, he will still be paid till the end of his contract on June 30th.
Broncos fall to New Mexico’s offense Angie Christiaens Staff Writer
Playing in the hot Albuquerque sun, the Boise State softball team dropped two games this past weekend against the University of New Mexico. Both games were only a loss of one run with the first game ending 7-6 and the second 6-5. In the beginning game on Friday with New Mexico, both teams remained scoreless proving the defensive strength of both teams. In the
top of the fourth, Boise State began to push the lead to three runs to gain a slightly comfortable lead against New Mexico. However, the Broncos struggled in the bottom of the fifth when the Lobos batted in five runs pulling ahead the lead 5-3. Redshirt senior pitcher Rebecca Patton walked the first batter which eventually lead to the Broncos allowing three runners to score. Senior pitcher Lela Work relieved Patton and ended the inning with two strike-outs while allowing and

courts, into the Boas indoor Tennis Complex, after a substantial rain delay. The match was set to start at 9:30 a.m. but due to the rain delay didn’t begin until shortly after mid-day. Once the day began it seemed as if the delay affected the Broncos at all. “We couldn’t give them the advantage, we had to make sure we kept our focus,” said sophomore Garret
additional two runs from the Lobos. New Mexico extended their lead to 6-3 with one run for three hits in the bottom of the sixth. But, the Broncos wouldn’t go down without a fight as they pushed in three more runs with aggressive base running by junior outfielder Tara Glover. At the end of the 7th, the Broncos were tied at 6-6 in a close battle. Despite the attempt by the Broncos for a comeback, the Lobos homered to right field to end the game at 7-6 in the
bottom of the seventh inning. On Saturday night, New Mexico hit the scoreboard first running in three runs for three hits in the bottom of the second on two errors. The Lobos kept hitting with power, running in three more runs off of four hits in the bottom of the 3rd inning. Yet, they remained scoreless against the Bronco defense for the rest of the game. Boise State’s offense soon followed their defensive power and made another serious comeback running in five runs off three hits. Junior outfielder/first basemen Devon Bridges’ hit a homerun bringing in two runs for the blue and orange. Yet, the Lobos’ last inning defense proved to be too much and the Broncos lost 6-5.
The Broncos square off against New Mexico.
Patton. Patton went on to add “we just wanted to keep ripping the ball, the worse we beat them the better.” Rip the ball is exactly what Patton and redshirt senior Scott Sears did. The duo easily defeating the Cougars’ Travis Fillmore and Spencer Smith. When facing the BYU the Broncos’ have extra motivation to perform well. When the two teams face off it is a “grudge match and it’s a rivalry,” Sears said. Freshman Toby Mitchell and redshirt sophomore Aidan Reid playing on court three helped clinch the doubles point winning (8-5) over
Keaton Cullimore and John Pearce, the duo is now winners of three straight. Before the Broncos’ aces were able to even complete their match, they already had the upper hand winning the doubles matches point. Once the other matches concluded junior Andy Bettles and junior Nathan Sereke went unfinished against Patrick Kawka and Francis with the doubles point secure. Bettles/ Sereke were ahead being called (5-4). Sereke’s singles match finished first getting the ball rolling for the Broncos’ with an early victory over Spencer
Smith (6-2, 6-3.) Bettles faced off against Kawka but was unable to produce the same results as Sereke. No. 45 Kawka dropped No. 29 Bettles in straight sets 7-5, and 6-1. The loss snaps Bettle’s win streak and it’s also his first loss since suffering defeat Feb. 23. Freshman Thomas Teneiro had an impressive showing defeating John Pearce (6-4, 6-3.) When asked about how the delay would affect his play Teneiro responded by saying “you’re cold and warm up again and it’s a different surface.” Unfortunately, the singles

wins by Teneiro and Sereke were not enough for the Broncos’ to take the match. The Cougars got contributions from some of their other players; Francis Sargeant defeated Sears (6-2, 2-6, 6-2.) Keaton Cullimore (BYU) was able to upend senior Fillipp Pogostkin in three sets (4-6, 6-2, 6-3.) The Cougar’s rounded out their singles victories with Andrey Goryachkov defeating Garrett Patton (6-4, 6-3.) “Before the match I think about it a little, during the match I think about winning,” said Teneiro. Teneiro added that thinking about it during a match is “more pressure.”
