Last November, citizens went to the polls in both Colorado and Washington and approved the statewide legalization of marijuana. In Idaarrested for a marijuana ho however, possession of pot remains illegal and enforcement remains the same. law violation in 2011 “For the BSU community and folks coming in from other states, it might be a good idea to remind them that Idaho laws are different than in Colorado and Washington.” said Lynn Hightower, Communications Director and Public Information Officer for the Boise Police Department.

“If you have up to an ounce, that’s a misdemeanor, any more than that and you get a felony,” Hightower said.

Students receiving financial aid who are arrested for marijuana possession in the state of Idaho can lose their loans if convicted as stipucharged with marijuana lated by Federal Student Aid terms. law violations who were Though students arrested may lose eligibility for school funds, they can be reinstated by comarrested for possession pleting a drug rehabilitation course with two random drug tests.

Hightower stated that Boise Police haven’t noticed a large spike in arrests for marijuana possession and distribution as a result of neighboring state’s legislation.

“From a local enforcement point of view it really hasn’t changed what the Boise Police Department is doing or seeing,” Hightower said.

While marijuana arrests may have increased on Idaho’s roads and highways, things have stayed the same in the Treasure Valley.

“I have heard that it’s changed what the Idaho that allow the medical State Police is seeing, but that’s a different type use of marijuana of enforcement,” Hightower said. “Boise Police handle more urban, city areas.”

Idaho strictly enforces pot laws despite recent legalization

Students at Boise State have mixed opinions of the drug’s legal status in the Gem State.

“I think it actually should be legal here,” said sophomore psychology major Genee Parker.

“We would make a lot more money taxing it and bringing more revenue in and our state would flourish.”

Parker sees the illegalization of marijuana as pointless since countless people use the drug every day, regardless of whether it is lawful to do so.

“If you think about how we did with prohibition of alcohol, people are going to smoke marijuana,” Parker said. “It’s not like doing coke or any of the hardcore drugs, people are gonna keep doing it. Other states are legalizing it and the negative effects haven’t been too bad.”

Parker thinks Idaho should model potential legalization after it’s neighbors, making public use and consumption behind the wheel a crime.

“Sure it could be considered a gateway drug and addictive, but not in all cases,” Parker said. “Some of the laws against it are a little harsh and should be more lenient, but you should still have measure in place.”

Junior psychology major Caitlin Donlin thinks those who want to break the law in Idaho should be intelligent enough to get away with it.

“My opinion is that if you are going to be irresponsible enough to do a drug knowing that it’s illegal, you are going to pay the price,” Donlin said. “I would keep the law the way it is.”

Donlin thinks the current Idaho laws are in place to protect the health and lives of citizens.

“You have to do those things responsibly otherwise there are going to be punishments and those punishments are in place to keep the masses safe,” Donlin said. “ A drunk driver could kill people on the road and smoking marijuana could do the same thing.”

I think it actually should be legal here, we would make a lot more money taxing it and bringing more revenue in and our state would flourish.

State continues to offer a high quality educational experience, expand academic offerings, and offer outstanding campus experiences, while maintaining affordability,” Anderson said.

While he believes enrollment will continue to grow, Anderson also agreed with the statements made by Kustra during his address.

“I agree with President Kustra’s statement.

As Boise State continues to move forward, enrollments change over time,” Anderson said.

Boise State is not the only institution of higher education in Idaho experiencing an increase in enrollment.

College of Idaho underwent their second highest enrollment rate in 20112012 year with 1,041 students enrolled. University of Idaho official enrollment stood at 12,493 students for the 2012 year.

As the high school graduation rate continues to rise, it is safe to say the enrollment rate will continue to rise as well.

21,000

years have seen a gradual increase in enrollment (see the graph located to the right). This may be a reflection of the increased high school graduation rates.

According to Anderson, total enrollment cannot yet be calculated, but there was an increase in new students.

“Boise State did see an increase in the number of new freshman admitted students from Idaho and an increase in admitted transfer students from both in state and out of state,” Anderson said.

“Over the past five years, our continuing student retention rate has risen steadily and we continue to experience increases in the percent of students graduating.”

Anderson explained why he felt enrollment at Boise State would not dwindle in the next few years.

“We will continue to see students and parents who appreciate a high quality education while maintaining affordability. Boise

Each fall semester feels as though there are even more freshmen wandering through Boise State campus with a dazed and confused look on their face. This may be an indication of a growing enrollment rate.

President Kustra hinted in his “President’s Address” on Aug. 21, enrollment might be dropping because of low high school graduation rates throughout the nation.

However, recent statistics from Education Week came out with a survey saying national high school graduation rates were as high as 75 percent in 2010 (the most recent year available for statistics).

Education Week’s Editorial Projects in Education Research Center performed the survey and analyzed the data. The Research Center is a non-profit division of Education Weekly that publishes Edweek.

According to Education Week, 75 percent is the

highest high school graduation rate in 40 years. The last time two-thirds of students graduated from high school was in 1973.

According to James Anderson, the vice president of Enrollment Services, Boise State has less to fear with regard to lower high school graduation rates than schools in other regions.

“Lower high school graduation rates across the nation impact institutions in different ways.

Boise State is located in a state and region trending higher in high school graduates,” Anderson said.

“Schools in the north-east and mid-west will have different challenges associated with a lower number of students graduating from high school.”

Idaho’s graduation rate in particular, is as high as 84 percent in 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

While it is too soon to determine what this year’s enrollment is, the last four

Renovations, Part 3 Boise State will be constructing a new green field and a plaza in front of the Administration Building.

Mallory Barker @Mal_a_gal

There was a great deal of uproar last semester over the intramural field. Students and some faculty were under the impression students would no longer have a field to play on. But Boise State’s future holds a lot of promise for green space.

Construction on the Administration Visitor’s Lot (AVL) began on Aug. 22. In accordance with the Master Plan, Boise State will be constructing a new plaza to replace the AVL parking lot.

The plaza will consist of a rectangular lawn with green trees and pathways.

The grassy area will be extensive and available for

student use. There will be a raised brick terrace in the center with seating available. Campus Planning and Facilities states there will be an iconic element added to the center of the platform. The iconic element will be announced at a later date.

There will be two smaller parking lots located on either side of the plaza.

Seven college roommate conflicts --and solutions Courtesy

MCT Campus As summer winds down and thousands of college students flock to their university digs, it is important to remember that roommates can be among the most enriching relationships in your college experience. But, learning to get along with a stranger, often in a small space, can also be challenging, especially if you’ve never had to share a room.

“It’s just about learning how to communicate, compromise and respect each other,” says Kenrick Ali, associate director of residence life at Cal State East Bay, which welcomes 1,500 residents to its dorms on Sept. 20.

Ali has mediated hundreds of roommate conflicts over the years and says the most common issues among college roommates are scheduling conflicts _ you’re a morning person, he’s a night owl _ and using each other’s belongings without permission. Having a roommate’s boyfriend

the arbiter The Arbiter

or girlfriend spend the night in your dorm room is also a major point of contention, for obvious reasons.

We enlisted Ali and two other experts _ Audrey Frey, a recent University of California-Berkeley graduate living in Fremont, Calif., and Nikhil Sharma, a Cal State East Bay junior majoring in business _ to tackle seven roommate conflicts and offer their solutions. Frey had a different roommate each of the four years she attended Berkeley.

Sharma serves on the board of his university’s residential hall association and helps mediate conflicts.

THE FOOD FIGHT When it comes to food, you and your roommate take turns buying the common items, like eggs and milk. But, lately, you’ve noticed that she’s been dipping into your personal items in the refrigerator, like your Greek yogurt, which isn’t cheap. What do you do?

Frey: Label your food.

Sharma: I always say, “If you want any of my stuff, just ask

before, and I’ll most likely say ‘yes.’ But if you don’t ask, and it keeps happening, I’ll report it to the residential adviser.”

Ali: It is imperative that you speak to your roommate about how much they can use, what happens when items start running low, what happens when there is no more of the item, and who pays for the replacement.

FEELING LIKE A THIRD WHEEL Your roommate’s girlfriend is visiting your dorm room ... again. That’s the third weekend this quarter. Doesn’t he realize it’s a small space and listening to them makes you uncomfortable?

Ali: Speak to your roommate in a nonthreatening manner about the impact that his guest is having on you.

Suggest developing a specific schedule of when each of you is allowed to have visitors and ask him if there are other places that they could go. Flexibility is the key. Express that being able to hear them makes you uncomfortable. But, you

These lots will be dedicated to visitor and departmental parking.

The plaza’s estimated completion date is May 2014.

While that green space may be nice for a small game of Frisbee, it certainly couldn’t house a full rugby game. However, the field replacing the Diesel Technology Building cer-

tainly will. Diesel Tech was demolished July 22 to make way for a grass football field to be used and managed by the Athletics Department.

Suzanne Seignor, communications and outreach coordinator for campus planning and facilities, explained how Athletics will be using the field.

“When the grass field is

not in use by the football team or needed by Athletic’s for another reason, the University/Recreation can use it but need to work with Athletics to reserve it,” Seignor said.

The estimated completion date of the field is summer 2014. The objective is to have the field ready for the football team for fall 2014.

also have to compromise and be OK with overnight guests once or twice a quarter.

Frey: If all the PDA in the room is making you uncomfortable, tell him that directly.

Remind him that it’s your room, too, and you deserve to feel comfortable. If this is a recurrent problem, remind your roommate to ask permission before having overnight guests. Explain you’ll do the same for him.

Sharma: If it’s in the middle of the night, and you’re trying to sleep, ask them to be quieter or ask them to find somewhere else to go.

THE MESSY FLATMATE After a year in the dorms, you and your roomie move into an on-campus apartment. But the extra space has

brought out the slob in her.

Her unwashed dishes are piling up, and you fear they will attract critters soon.

Ali: A very standard rule is that all of the shared spaces in the apartment are to remain clean. Create a task list and schedule a rotation between roommates. If critters decide to live with you because of your roommate’s messiness, it is appropriate for you to ask her to pay for them to be exterminated.

Frey: Tell her as you see it —the apartment is a mess.

Chances are she’s already aware of it and probably feels somewhat guilty. If she won’t clean up on her own and needs more prompting, set a cleaning date. Consult both your schedules and find a day

of the week or month when you’re both free to clean.

BroncoJobs is available throughout the year and has opportunities on and off campus including: internships, part-time jobs and full-time jobs. However, the virtual fair only houses on campus jobs available for students.

Attendance of the meeting helps ensure club members can experience the process of application and helps clear up frustration and confusion down the line.

“We have them on Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., it’s the only time we could all meet,” Buxton said. “It’s where all the grant proposals are heard.”

Students who are part of organized clubs at Boise State have access to funding through the Associated Students of Boise State University, but getting cash for events depends solely on the application process.

“You submit a direct club grant on orgsync after you join ASBSU as an organization,” said Megan Buxton, secretary of student

affairs for ASBSU. “You fill out all of the information and attach a budget, explain what your club is doing, why you need the money and what it is for.”

After the grant information is submitted, students in the club are assigned a funding board member to help ensure the process goes smoothly.

The Career Center is hosting a virtual student job fair through BroncoJobs. The fair consists of more than 50 jobs offered by Boise State departments. These positions include both work study and non-work study.

The Career Center used to host a physical job fair where employers would set up tables and meet with students. The Career Center found many students were unable to attend due to class schedules. By putting the fair online, students can apply for jobs at one in the morning if they so choose.

All Boise State students and alumni have access to BroncoJobs.

process.

“You come for fifteen minute time slots, it’s pretty laid back,” Buxton said. “People will introduce themselves and say ‘Hey, can you tell us a little about your grant, a little about your club?’”

Buxton explained that in previous years, some club members have experienced frustration due to the lack of interaction between ASBSU executive members like Buxton.

“One of my goals this year was to promote club interaction with my position. I wanted to get to know the clubs and figured this would be an easy way to do it,” Buxton said.

Once club members get to their actual proposal meeting, paperwork is submitted and pitches heard, club members are asked to leave the room and the club funding board then votes to approve or deny the grant.

If approved, students

are given notice in person and via email. Buxton then passes the grant info to university officials who distribute the funds.

“Clubs need to make sure they are getting their stuff submitted on time because we do need a certain amount of time to process different things,” Buxton said.

Buxton explained certain club events, like those which require travelling, need to be approved by Boise State officials before voting on grants can commence.

“If students have any questions about funding, they can just email me, I could help prevent a lot of missed communication,” Buxton said. “I am in the office a lot.”

Buxton advices club members to keep track grant status.

“I am going to be posting my little time grid schedule I made on our (ASBSU) website,” Buxton said.

For the non-techy person, buying a new laptop for school can be confusing. Here are some general tips on what to look for so you can buy a great laptop at an affordable price.

First things first, stay away from tablets.

While they may be the new, iPads, Android tablets and even Windows tablets that convert into mini laptops will not get you very far in your college career. They are limited in what you can do due to the different operating systems and lack of traditional software. They also tend to cost a lot more than your basic reliable budget laptop.

While on the topic of touchscreen devices, I also recommend staying away from the newer laptops with touch screens.

Windows8 touch friendly interface is still in its infancy, and until it evolves into something more useful, the touchscreen laptop is nothing more than a gimmick to bump up sales prices.

Stick with a PC over a Mac. Even with Broncotech selling and advertising Macs on campus, a PC is going to work with just about any software your instructors might have you use.

Your odds with a Mac greatly decrease. Macs look beautiful and are definitely trendy, but when it comes to value, the specifications of an entry level $1200 Macbook Pro laptop are about equivalent to your entry level $400 Gateway PC. You don’t need to worry about “computer specs.” Just look for an affordable laptop. For the majority of students, your basic $300 laptop will more than meet your needs.

Most students surf the web, type up essays and stream movies. If that’s all you’re doing, then you don’t need to worry about dual-core vs. quad-core processors, or if your laptop is running an Intel i3 or AMD-A6.

I-spy: Administration tracks student activity

“What is an IP address?”

An 8-12 digit address used to identify a computer on the network.

Ryan Thorne @RyanThorne

“What does it look like?”

192.168.0.1

“Does my IP address ever change?”

Yes. Depending on what network you are connected to. Your IP address on Boise State’s network is different than your unique identifyer at home.

Photo Devin Ferrell/THE ARBITER

Every computer that logs on to the Internet at Boise State can be tracked by technology personnel like Doug Ooley, director of information security services.

“If you’re on the Boise State network, everybody has a unique identifier into the network,” Ooley said. “And that’s the way we would typically track someone if they were in violation.”

IP addresses that have viewed illegal content like child pornography can be flagged by independent Web monitoring services, which share lists with Boise State personnel for an annual fee.

“You have IP addresses that are basically blacklisted through a hosted provider like Iron Port, which will alert the network team,” Ooley said.

These third-party groups are able to flag IP addresses from offending computers but as far as content goes, companies like Iron Port are unable to monitor specific illegal content viewed or downloaded.

“There’s no way to monitor the content going in there, but we are aware the IP is being used,” Ooley said. “We subscribe to several different providers that give us that information.”

If a criminal investigation occurs as a result of illegal Internet use, Ooley can provide information to prosecutors taking a look at an individual’s activity on Boise State networks.

Those who download pirated media materials from popular sites like thepiratebay.com can be

Students who violate Boise State Internet use policies can face a conduct review and expulsion flagged by copyright agencies who contact the Web server host, which in the case of Boise State, is Ooley’s office.

“We’ll get a notice from a copyright agency saying, ‘Such and such downloaded this at such and such time,’” Ooley said.

From there, Ooley and colleagues are forced to investigate the matter.

“By law, we have to monitor copyright infringement violations,” Ooley said.

Using a computer’s unique IP address, Ooley and staff can track the location of the offender on campus.

“Typically, we will be able to know where it was downloaded and who was downloading it,” Ooley said.

According to Ooley those flagged for violating copyrights have never

faced serious consequences at Boise State, and those who have broken the law are still allowed access to the Web. Ooley has been working for Boise State since December of 2012 and hasn’t experienced any serious incidents.

“We don’t run into people having multiple infringements,” Ooley said.

“Since my time here, we have never restricted anybody’s access.”

Ooley stressed his view that Internet access should be open and largely free of survelliance if users aren’t violating the law in the process.

“It’s an educational environment, an open environment and until the law is broken, we don’t get involved,” Ooley said.

If a student does continue to download copyrighted material illegally, not only will they face pos-

sible legal action from media outlets, but their status as a student at Boise State may be reviewed by the Office of Student Rights and Responsiblities.

“There’s a conduct hearing and what would happen is, somebody would probably email you saying, ‘This was reported, you have to have a conduct hearing,’” said ASBSU President Ryan Gregg.

Students violating Internet use policies are required to go before a panel and have the right defend or explain their actions.

“The (conduct hearing) people are all trained, withone or two students, a faculty member or two and those folks from the appropriate department,” Gregg said.

Students found guilty of violating Boise State policies are able to appeal their

sentences.

“Once they have found you responsible, then they go about determining your status as a Boise State student,” Gregg said.

Gregg has yet to see a student kicked out of school for illegal Internet use.

“I do know they are getting better at monitoring the Internet,” Gregg said.

“Can I be tracked by my IP address?”

Yes. Law enforcement could potentially track your location through your computer’s digital address.

Boise State begins another fall term, but this time with some renovations. One change that has the students’ attention is the new Recreation Turf Field, located on Lincoln Avenue, which became available on August 27th.

The vice president of student affairs, Lisa Harris, and president of the Associated Students of Boise State University (ASBSU) Ryan Gregg, cut the ribbon to the new field proclaiming it to be open to students of Boise State University.

“We’re really excited about the opportunity because obviously right now, we’re having to share the space over behind the Student Union Building,” Gregg said.

“The addition of this space really just gives students another place to go where they can take time away from studying, or going to class, or hanging out with friends to be physical.”

The 95,000 square-foot field contains painted lines for soccer, football, men’s and women’s lacrosse in

order to supplement these intermural and club teams.

However, anyone is more than welcome to use the new turf field.

Lisa Stuppy, Director for Campus Recreationexplained the goals for the field.

“The overall goal is just to get more opportunities for students to participate in not only our program (recreation program), but just have another green space on campus to play Frisbee or play with your kids or run sprints or something,” Stuppy said.

However, students should make sure to be there at the right time if they choose to become active on the field.

“The field will be open at nine a.m. most mornings and close at dusk. So from nine a.m. probably until three or four in the afternoon, it’ll be open.

Intermural/club programming usually is gonna happen in the afternoon,” Stuppy said.

The field will open at noon on Sundays, but gates will close to make time for intramural/club events.

Also, no sunflower seeds, gum, food, or drink (besides water) will be allowed. The field comes equipped with more policies at corners of the field

ROTC cadet spends his summer overseas in Germany Mallory Barker @Mal_a_gal

Cadet Nichollas Brush is a Boise State student studying in the ROTC program who was selected to participate in

the Army ROTC’s Cultural Understanding and Language Proficiency (CULP) program this summer at United States European Command (EUCOM) located in Stuttgart, Germany.

EUCOM is the main American military base for all of Europe.

Brush was originally signed up to go to Israel for his internship, but due to visa complications he was sent

to inform students.

Senior Lauren Kesler, has already used the turf field with her women’s lacrosse team.

“I love this field. It’s awesome to have a field that we can all go on and play on that’s on campus,”Kesler said. “Turf

is a lot better to play on and that way we don’t have to paint it all night. It’s just awesome for us to be able to use.”

The Rec Field will be open and available to all students unless previously scheduled for an intramural event. If anyone would

like to reserve the field, they should do so through the Rec Center.

All students are invited to utilize the new Rec Field. Students can bring Frisbees and even Quidditch broomsticks and head on down to Lincoln Avenue.

to Germany instead. He was not at all disappointed by the change.

Normally, these missions last approximately three weeks, but Brush was part of a new program lasting three months. The extended time frame allows cadets to experience firsthand the life of a forward stationed Army staff officer. Brush worked directly with generals and colonels, increasing his knowledge of real-life military experience.

“I got to meet all these people who spend their entire lives in the military,” Brush said. “It was great to hear their stories and get their advice.”

Cadets are spread throughout the various departments at EUCOM. Brush specialized in public affairs. He assisted in the writing and editing of press releases and other forms of communication with media outlets on behalf

of EUCOM. “I edited documents and changed the wording but they mostly told me what to do and I did it,” Brush said.

EUCOM is made up of members from all forms of military command. Brush had the opportunity to work with service members from the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard. For most cadets, including Brush, this was their first experience working with members of armed force branches other than the Army.

“As contributing members to a joint staff, forward deployed on foreign soil, these cadets will quite literally never be the same,” said Trevor Boyko, the internship manager at the command.

Brush had the opportunity to travel through The Democratic Republic of Georgia,

France, Austria, Belgium and Moldova as part of his internship.

During his travels, Brush visited historic sites from WWI. The most impactful site for him was the Meuse Argonne American Cemetery and Memorial.

“Seeing the endless rows of white crosses really gave me an appreciation of the true sacrifice of war,” Brush said.

“Discussing how the leaders of the past acted in a time of adversity has really helped me increase my cultural awareness and Army leadership abilities.”

Brush is excited to be back at Boise State and share his experience with his peers.

“In the campus life, we have a lot of blends between working in the military and being on campus,” Brush said. “I’ll definitely take a lot of military advice back to the guys on campus.”

Your brain makes associations with the information you are studying and the background you are in (noise, temperature, time, lighting, etc.).

By varying your study experiences you give your mind a chance to create more associations between the subject and your surroundings.

With this method, you

don’t need to rely on the complete quiet of a library study room in order remember your course material because you also studied in the SUB at dinner time, with your study group in an empty classroom, and on the Quad during your break.

Check back to The Arbiter every Thursday for more study tips.

As you get geared up for your classes, keep in mind that it is good practice to study in many different locations rather than just one quiet controlled area.

An article in the New York Times cites that studying material in different locations increases retention.

Engineering students enrolled in ENGR 130 use their skills to solve real life problems of community members.

courtesty college of engineering

FUSE participates in service learning Danielle Allsop @Danibananii

Students enrolled in Boise State’s Engineering 130 class will soon begin working on “Real World Adaptive Engineering Designs” as the website calls it, commonly known as FUSE. The course, titled Introduction to Engineering Applications, serves as a disciplinary lens for students looking to fill their science requirement. In this course, students sign up for an additional credit hour and participate in a service-learning project, both in and outside of the classroom.

According to the FUSE , website, students “will apply the engineering design process to modify or adapt

a solution for a person with a disability.”

Carol Sevier, the freshman engineering coordinator for ENGR 130, started the FUSE program in 2009 after attending an engineering conference at Purdue University.

“Purdue has an interdisciplinary learning program where students from different disciplines work together to create projects that help their communities,” Sevier said.

After talking with a professor from the University of Tennessee who challenged her students to make the project fun, Sevier decided to bring that challenge to Boise State.

“I thought, I have to do it, I have to go through with it,”

Sevier said, visibly moved. “I started getting all choked up.”

A motivated Sevier returned to Boise State and began working with Boise State’s service-learning department on getting the program started.

“We got some start-up grant money from the service-learning department, and continue to receive small grants to help fund the approximately 14 projects per semester,” Sevier added.

Students work in groups of four and have the task of creating a solution for their client with a specific disability.

Each group receives $200 for the project, funded by grants, student lab fees, and donations from the commu-

nity. “Whenever people in the community hear that it’s for Boise State, they are so incredibly generous,” Sevier said.

Students are also encouraged to be resourceful and thrifty.

“We got a walker for $10 on Craigslist once. It was still in pretty good shape,” Sevier explained.

Once students have met with their client, they set out to create a device which will alleviate some of the issues that keep them from living a “normal” life. For example, students worked with a man who had lost partial function of one of his arms after a stroke.

“He was having trouble keeping pots on the stove

while cooking because he didn’t have full use of one arm, which created a potential hazard. The group came up with a contraption to hold the pan in place while he cooked,” Sevier said.

Devin Guy, sophomore mechanical engineering major, participated in the program in the spring of 2013.

“When I first met (my client) I was very nervous because I didn’t want to offend him in any way, but after spending just a few minutes with him, he welcomed us with open arms. By interacting and communicating with (my client) I gained knowledge on how to work with disabled clients, which will definitely help in the future,” Guy said.

Projects will begin in early to mid-October and finish by finals week. After completion, students get to present their projects to their clients.

“Clients get to come in at the last day of class and the students deliver their projects to them,” Sevier said. “Just to see the clients reaction is priceless, it’s so rewarding, it’s amazing.”

The FUSE program is still looking for donations for upcoming projects and a few clients who, according to their website, “have an unmet need or problem they would like help addressing.” For more information, contact Carol Sevier at carolsevier@boisestate.edu or visit their website, coen.boisestate.edu/fuse/.

What are your back to school anxieties?

{STUDENT

I’m (an) A-typical student, so fitting it into my other life, which is work and kids.

(My) family sacrifices a lot for me to be here. The people that I work with suffer because I’m going back to school. Truth be told, actually being here is the relaxing part of my life.

VOICES}

Managing my time with studying. That’s the biggest thing. I just got out of my biology 227 class, which is human anatomy and physiology, and you have to do this and this, and study at least 45 minutes every day in order to get a semi good grade in that class. I gotta balance this and the other stuff. It’s just (like) juggling while riding a unicycle while trying to eat a banana at the same time.

Probably bike parking.

Even trying to get your bike through people walking the wrong direction…it’s a little crazy, especially the first week back. I came really close (to hitting someone).

A girl walked out on her phone not paying attention.

I was like ‘just bike away.’

It has to be around the money area. I mean, just tuition in general. This is my first year in college, and (I’m) kind of worried about classes and stuff.

College is way different. And the whole Blackboard thing is so confusing.

Edgar Alvarado

Freshman, kinesiology major

Just classes, doing good in them and not failing.

Probably crashing my bike again because of the pedestrians. I don’t want to break something else this semester. Last semester I ended up slipping on the ice and breaking my ankle. That wasn’t because of pedestrians, but I’m still working over the mental anxieties of being on a bike.

Kevin Kelley teaches English at Boise State.

We get it. We have heard over and over that getting a degree in Psychology, or English, or God forbid— Art History, that we will not get a job after college. Family, friends, and even random people that we meet at a party or a gas station have looked at our Boise State sweatshirt and asked “What are you gothe arbiter The Arbiter

ing to school for? History?

Good luck finding a job with that degree!” When I met my landlord a year ago he asked me about my English major.

With his head shaking and his shirt full of holes, he told me, “Forget about English, kid. What you need to do is get a trade like an electrician. That, or a bio-medical degree.” Everyone from my brother to a Jiffy Lube attendant has scoffed at my pursuit of a degree in the Arts and Humanities.

Getting career advice is important, but these people above are not the experts, and many have made far worse career decisions than getting a degree in Philosophy.

When I worked was an academic advisor, students frequently told me they wanted to pursue a degree that was something other than their declared Engineering or Accountancy major, but many were afraid they would never find a job with anything else.

What many students (and

Jiffy Lube attendants) do not understand is that these can be perfectly viable degrees if you get experience outside of the classroom. Internships, part-time jobs, and volunteer work all make up for the lack of “real-world” skills that these majors don’t always address.

The Arts and many Social Science degrees are meant to bolster the knowledge, critical thinking, and flexibility of students— things which are far more difficult to learn

and apply than “skills”. Skills can be learned on the job, but many students do not get a related job in college and when it comes time to graduate, they are left with a whole lot of knowledge and potential, but little experience having applied that knowledge.

Find a job or some other service that lets you apply your developing knowledge to something other than a test or an essay. Meet with a career counselor. Talk to your internship coordinator. Email

businesses or organizations that you respect about letting you intern or volunteer with them.

Try a search engine site like volunteermatch.org.

These mostly unpaid positions might eventually lead to a paid position, and, as an internship coordinator once said to me, “at worst, you’ll learn that you really don’t want a career in what you thought you did, or, you might figure out that this really is not the major for you.” arbiteronline .com arbiteronline.com

Play for Pay: Open auditions Lance Moore There are many musicians, but few who fit the position.

This sentiment underlines the world of music as one audition comes after another for musicians seeking to hone their craft and showcase their skill.

On Aug. 31, the Boise Philharmonic will hold open auditions for a few vacated salaried positions; assistant concertmaster, principle bass, and first section violins. Any and all musicians, no matter education or age, have been encouraged to apply. These auditions are held twice a year when seats open up.

Having the opportunity to audition for a philharmonic orchestra in any city can be quite daunting for musicians. One of the interesting aspects of the Boise Philharmonic is that auditions are open to the public, even some whom are still in high school. The only prequisites to apply to audition are classical music training and complete commitment to an art form.

"What is so great about our process is that we hold no bias, the first couple rounds of auditions are held behind a screen, in which members of the selection committee are not allowed to see or in-

showcase their musical talents on the stage. The concert seasons begins on Sept.

Opportunities to serve @Cheycp

The end of the first week of the fall 2013 semester will bring relief for students, but also a chance to learn about what they can do with their spare time.

This fall’s Volunteer Expo will take place Friday.

Each semester, Boise State Student Involvement and Leadership Center pairs with Service-Learning to coordinate the Volunteer Expo. This event introduces students to volunteer agencies and opportunities in the Treasure Valley.

The event is open to all students—whether beginning their first year of college or finishing their last. The expo will be set up for four hours so students can walk through at their own convenience.

Nonprofit organizations and other groups will have booths where students can talk with agency members. Students can sign up for email updates about volunteer opportunities, or take pamphlets with information.

The expo serves to “bridge the gap between community partners and students,” said Erin VanDenburgh, campus program coordinator for SILC. The expo—which VanDenburgh called a “buffet of options”—usually hosts ap-

the arbiter The Arbiter

proximately 40 charities and/ or non-profit organizations. At the moment, the expo has about 30 organizations signed up, but VanDenburgh expects more lastminute participants.

Boise State senior communication major Molly Valceschini works as a programming assistant for SILC. She is in charge of ensuring the details of the expo—for instance, securing the venue.

Though in years past the expo has taken place upstairs in one of the Student Union ballrooms, this year it has moved downstairs.

“We’re hoping this year, with the new location, it’ll just cause even more students to be coming through,” said Valceschini.

Valceschini sees the event as improving students’ college experience.

“You might be able to find something (at the expo) that really sparks your interest and helps you develop a passion for something that you wouldn’t have found in the classroom,” Valceschini said.

Some organizations, which have participated in the past, are the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Idaho, INC., Nampa Police Department, Peace Corps and Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity.

The Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity participated in the

Volunteer Expo last fall. Volunteer Coordinator for the Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity Sarah Waltman remarked favorably on the event.

“The students were very enthusiastic,” Waltman said.

Since the Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity didn’t have work for students at the time of its participation in the expo, it’s too difficult to tell if the expo helped to bring volunteers.

Yet, Waltman said Habitat for Humanity “collected a lot of info about students interested in participating.”

Though for this very reason— a lack of projects in the fall—the Habitat won’t be participating in this fall’s expo, Waltman expressed interest in the upcoming expo in the spring.

“It (the Volunteer Expo) is definitely something we’ll do again in the future,” Waltman said.

The Volunteer Expo will take place on Friday, Aug. 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Student

Union Atrium—on the first floor near the Boise River Café, directly below the Student Involvement and Leadership Center.

More information can also be found on the Student Involvement and Leadership Center’s website at getinvolved.boisestate.edu.

Honors College goes to Oxford University Madison Killian This summer, 10 lucky Honors College students were given the opportunity to travel to the University of Oxford in the United Kindgdom.

Along with a handful of other honors students from around the United States.

Dallas Pullen, a senior applied math major, was among the lucky students from Boise State that got to go on the trip.

The group of ten students which took part of a ten week, three credit course over the last part of the spring semester to qualify for the study abroad at Oxford university.

The title of the course was called, “Life, Death, and the Quest of Meaning”.

During the first three weeks of the trip, Honors College students went to Oxford university. Other students represented St. Joseph’s College from New York, as well as Texas State University.

All three U.S. colleges came together to further their studies and immerse themselves in European culture.

Students were accompanied by Andrew Finstuen Ph.D, the director of the Honors College. Finstuen had students apply for the program and trip in early

Study abroad students return from Oxford with stories to tell December.

“The St. Joseph’s class was called Psychology in Religion, and the Texas States class was called C.S. Lewis and Communication,” Pullen described how all three colleges connected. “We all came together to study in a group. Our class started out as sort of a history class, looking at how 20 century thinkers thought about those questions in

their time setting.”

The students were able to go see some of Europe’s coolest landmarks and historical sights while studying at Oxford.

“There are 30-50 colleges within Oxford university. We were staying in St. Hilda’s College, but we also got to tour other colleges like Modelling college where C.S. Lewis worked, and went to Christ Church, which

inspired the great hall in Harry Potter.” said Pullman. “ Several scenes of the Harry Potter film series was filmed on the Oxford university campus.

The second weekend we went to London and saw Macbeth at the Shakespeare’s Globe. Every day was pretty packed. We did an excursion out to see C.S. Lewis’s house, The Kilns. It was lots of fun.”

Honors students also had the opportunity to visit Lewis’s grave site alongside the other study abroad students.

They were also given the incredible opportunity to visit Stonehenge, which was a must- see for Pullen.

It was this culmination of world class instruction and interaction with students from other universities which highlighted their trip.

This Thursday, Aug. 29, in the Special Events Center (SPEC) there will be not one, but two comedians performing.

The Welcome week, put on by the Student Involvement and Leadership Center (SILC), will include comedians Alvin Williams and Streeter Seidell.

“Alvin Williams is the

opening act, and he’s done a lot of work with ‘Shades of Black’,” said Thomas Camara, senior entrepreneurial management and programming assistant for SILC. “He does a lot of his own tours. He’s opening and then Streeter Seidell from MTV “Pranked” goes on. Seidell is also the executive editor of Collegehumor.com.”

This type of comedy will steer more towards the genre of cultural and social comedy, without much in terms of outright vulgarity.

“Neither of them is going to be too raunchy.

Alvin’s done ‘Shades of Black’ and that’s more of a cultural comedy. He’s going to definitely make it a little bit different.

He’s very funny without using a lot of raunchiness.

Both of them are used to doing college shows,” said Camara.

Both comedians shows are meant to cater to a college audience. The goal of this event is to ease students into the new

semester.

“I love comedians and everyone loves to laugh.

My biggest thing was that I just wanted to have some comedians here for students to enjoy. That’s why I wanted it to be part of Bronco Welcome.”

With more and more comedians coming through campus, Boise State is looking to bring increasingly big names of the comedy industry to campus.

Looking at who they’ve brought in the past, including Sarah Colona, a writer and comedian on the show “Chelsea Lately” and Comedy Central star, Daniel Tosh of “Tosh.0”, our track record is impressive.

“We definitely want to bring bigger comedians to campus. If we could get a bigger turnout, that’d be great,” Camara said.

“Maybe we’ll make it a tradition to do it every fall semester.”

The more students that show up, the more comedy events Boise State will host.

Comedians perform during Welcome week

Streeter Seidell comes to campus “I hope a lot of students show up because I think they’ll have a good time.

I’m excited that we could get two comedians here. I hope we fill it up. That’d be awesome. I think it’ll be a nice end to Bronco Welcome,” Camara said.

These performances will provide an opportunity to bring future acts to campus.

Streeter Seidell’s show starts at 7 p.m., and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are free for students.

Rough riding and trash talking south Boston troubled young men grace the heartbeat of this film. One in particular happens to be a young character played

by Matt Damon, certifiable genius in mathematics with a real bad attitude stemming from childhood abuse. The wonderfully written script by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon is a classic “rising from the rags of unfortunate circumstances” flick.

“The process gives you a sense of what the art world is really like, “ said Ryan Cheathaum, senior creative writing/photography double major and gallery assistant who holds a seat on the SUAAB. Applicants have a chance to learn the process that will ultimately define their art careers, as they will learn how to adapt and create work that fits both a creative and professional mold. Board members also provide the opportunity for applicants to have their work previewed as a means to further their knowledge of the selection process.

“I’m always happy to preview their application before they turn it in,” said Gilchrist.

Every academic year, the Student Union Art Advisory Board (SUAAB) goes through stacks of applications by artists (both students and non-students) who would like to have their work displayed in the Student Union Building (SUB) Gallery on the second floor or the Special Events Center (SPEC) lobby. The SUAAB is made up of both faculty and Boise State students.

One such artist is Randy Van Dyck, a surrealist style Boise-based artist/ small business owner with a frame shop downtown.

On Aug. 29 from 4:30-6:30 p.m., a reception will be held to showcase his work in the SUB Gallery.

The advisory board goes through an extensive selection process that encapsulates an array of factors

in determining an artist to select. These factors includes skill, aesthetics and simple small details, such as presentation of the application. This process includes aiding the applicants themselves in furthering their craft and professional presentation.

Such as the case with Van Dyck, “It was the push of the advisory board that led him to push his concept more. He is much more prolific,” said Holly Gilchrist, fine arts manager of the Student Union and Bronco Gallery store.

Through the use of surrealist narrative compositions, Van Dyck’s work depicts both a sense of humor and an understanding of realism. Throughout the selection process by the SUAAB, artists have the opportunity to grow and discover new ways to improve their work, as Van Dyck has refined his pro-

Randy Van Dyck will showcase works at reception.

What about Bob? Bob Behler, the radio voice of the Broncos, brings each and every game to life Michael Steen Since his days in junior high school, the voice of the Broncos Bob Behler had always known he wanted to be a sports broadcaster.

“I actually started when I was in high school,” Behler said. “Our high school had a television station and we would do games and they would be run back on local cable the next night.”

An early start in the business helped kick start Behler’s career in broadcasting when he called his high school’s state championship football game for the local radio station.

“They must have liked the job I did because the next year when I was a senior, I did all the sports, a game of the week for them,” Behler said.

Behler has been the voice of the Broncos since 2008, and the job has taken him around the country.

Behler called both the Fiesta Bowl in 2007 against Oklahoma and 2010 against Texas Christian University, witnessing two Boise State victories.

Bob Behler calls Bronco football game along with guest Kellen Moore.

Behler took off across the country to attend the University of Georgia tandpursue his dream of being a broadcaster. At Georgia, Behler called baseball and women’s basketball on the school’s local radio station.

“I wanted to go to a school with a good broadcasting program and I wanted to go to a school with a big athletic program,” Behler said.

Coming out of college, Behler picked up his first

job, calling games for a minor league baseball team, the Chattanooga Lookouts.

“I was there a year and a half, but I missed the college scene to be honest,” Behler said. “So I sent out cassettes to a whole bunch of little colleges to see who would bite, and in 1986 I got the job at Bucknell.”

Behler spent the next 13 years at Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa., where he covered

any sport imaginable for the Bison.

“Obviously football and basketball, but then baseball, softball and some lacrosse,” Behler said. “I also hosted and produced a television show.”

After Bucknell, Behler went to the University of Massachusetts for a nine year stint before being called back to the west in 2008 to start his work for Boise State.

Entering his sixth year covering the Broncos,

Behler has been an eyewitness to history being made on the Blue Turf.

“I’ve been fortunate, they’re 61-5 in the time I’ve been here,” Behler said. “Has Bob Behler done anything to make them 61-5? No, but I’ve certainly reaped the benefits to where people are more interested in listening to you.”

Behler’s five years covering football and basketball for Boise State have been a whirlwind of historical games and seasons. He has been an eyewitness to sports going to the next level in a place he loves.

“I’ve been blessed to be with three different colleges and all of them have been fantastic and I was sorry to leave them all,” Behler said. “But every time I think I’ve professionally bettered myself and fortunately been in places where it’s nice to live and people have been nice to me, so I’ve been lucky."

Behler will call his first game of the fall season on Aug. 31 when the Broncos take on Washington in Seattle, Wash. He can be heard on KBOI 670 AM in the Treasure Valley.

Color schemes spur attendance Michael Steen @MichaelSteen2

Football season has once again emerged upon the city of Boise.

In less than two weeks time, the Boise State following will descend on Bronco Stadium, eager to cheer on the 2013 Boise State squad to another successful season.

Color schemes for the fans have been a growing trend in college football stadiums across the country for the past several years. Whether it is the famous Penn State whiteouts, or the popular blackout look it seems everyone is going

for, the color scheme charts have become a popular part of college football traditions.

“We meet as an external group to discuss the variety of color schemes throughout the year,” Assistant Athletic Director of Marketing and Promotions Matt Beckman said. “Starting last year we wanted to get fans input as well so we gave the fans the chance to vote on their favorite color scheme.”

Beckman has been at his post for two years now, and has made a lot of moves to increase fan attendance, especially students, and keep them

there.

“We are really excited about working even more with the students this year,” Beckman said. “We are working with residence life, ASBSU, Aramark and a number of groups to create a fun tailgating experience prior to the game for students.”

The Broncos have been on the color scheme trend for some time now. Boise State introduced the first orange –out during their 2002 season. In more recent time however, the use of alternating sections and tri-color schemes have really be-

gun to take off.

Fans may have noticed a decrease in attendance over the past couple of seasons as compared to seasons coming off major bowl wins such as the two Fiesta Bowl victories. in 2007 and 2010.

“There was a lot of excitement around the program,” Assistant Athletic Director of Ticket Management, Anita Guerricabeitia said. “You build on that hype and you win that bowl game and Bronco football just became the thing to do in Boise.”

In past seasons, color schemes have had a part

in increasing ticket sales for home attendance, and the marketing and ticket sales team is hoping they can make that trend happen again this year with a less appealing home schedule for the Boise State fanbase.

“Bronco Nation does an amazing job supporting the color schemes, arguably the best in the country,” Beckman said. “We have received a lot of positive feedback from fans on what they would like to see with the color schemes which is why we made sure they were involved in choosing one each season.”

Boom or Bust for Broncos Michael Steen @MichaelSteen2

Steen Says is a comprehensive sports column written by Assistant Sports Editor Michael Steen.

Boise State has once again found themselves in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) discussion. Coming off an 11-2 season in 2012, the Broncos are once again in the top 25 rankings and in the discussion for another BCS bowl bid.

With the start of the new season approaching in a matter of days, it begs the question: “How important is winning the opening game for the Broncos?”

It’s no secret the BCS favors an undefeated team, especially from the mid major conferences. Both Boise State’s Tostitos Fiesta victories in 2007 and 2010 came off unbeaten campaigns in the regular season.

Another reason Boise State needs to get off to a good start is the need to build their strength of schedule and their overall body of work. In Boise State’s previous undefeated regular seasons, they have included wins over Oregon State, Oregon and Georgia. The years where Boise State has failed to reach a BCS game included early season losses against Georgia, Washington and Michigan State. Getting the significant win in the first two or three weeks of the season is crucial for the Broncos in making a statement to the BCS committee and the voters to strengthen their chances for a BCS bowl appearance.

Boise State has history with this Washington program. A bitter loss in Seattle in the fall of 2007 coming off their first BCS victory left a bad taste in the mouths of Bronco fans everywhere. Led by redshirt senior quarterback Taylor Tharp, the Broncos left with a 24-10 loss, the first of their three losses en route to a 10-3 season.

Now the Broncos have the task of going back to Seattle and taking down the Huskies in their brand new, $280 million stadium. A team that will have revenge on their minds, this could be one of the Broncos toughest season openers in history. A win however, could spell success for the season and get them on the right track back to the BCS.

Fantasy sports are very real Photo Devin Ferrell/THE ARBITER

The Idaho Sports Medicine Institute (ISMI) has iconically sat attached to Bronco Stadium for the last 30 years, serving Boise State, Boise Hawks and high school athletes with Dr. George Wade at the helm of it all. Wade has pioneered the way sports medicine clinics work with the athletic programs of schools and universities, built a highly successful company from scratch and solidified himself as the foremost authority on sports medicine in Idaho. However, receives little monetary compensation for his work with the university and local high schools.

According to Wade, his practice was the first of its kind in the United States, partnering a private sports medicine practice with a university on campus to assist athletes and (in 34 years) few practices have been able to replicate Wade’s.

Most of the work Wade does for the university is for free. His private practice is what funds ISMI. Wade saidmany physicians aren’t willing to make the financial sacrifices necessary to run an operation directly connected to schools, so copycat institutions have failed.

It’s because of his patients and the university — including being a member of the committee that chose to implement the blue turf — that Wade continues to practice sports medicine.

George Wade and ISMI have treated Bronco athletes for the last 30 years.

Even though Wade is now one of the foremost authorities on sports medicine in the country, he didn’t always want to start a private practice, or go to medical school, for that matter. Wade first ran track at the University of Michigan and was an All-American before continuing on to graduate school in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Upon graduation from the University of Tennessee’s College of Medicine, Wade didn’t want to become a surgeon, but wanted to work with athletes.

He returned to Michigan and

worked with the team physician in orthopedics and was hooked by the industry. After moving on and finishing his fellowship in Los Angeles, Wade decided to move to Idaho to start his practice because of his love of the outdoors and kayaking in particular.

“Dr. (Richard) Gardner was the team physician at Boise State at the time,” Wade said. “I went and talked with him and he encouraged me to come and no one else was interested in doing sports, so he said, ‘You can take over at

Boise State.’”

Wade started his practice and became the team physician in 1979 and in 1984 a close friend, and former Boise State athletic director, Gene Bleymaier, suggested building a new practice on campus.

Bleymaier got the idea approved with then Boise State President John Keiser, and ISMI was built at the south end of the end zone.

Wade and Bleymaier became best friends, leading Bleymaier to ask for Wade’s opinion on his most prized ac-

complishment: the blue turf.

Wade was on the committee to choose a new playing surface for the football field.

“They took us up to Dalton, Ga., to look at how they do the turf and Gene asks if they could make the turf blue,” Wade said. “Nothing surprised me with Gene.”

For 34 years, Wade has helped keep Boise State and local athletes healthy, while asking little in return.

“It’s a labor of love,” Wade said. “If it wasn’t, this wouldn’t work.”

The Boise State women’s soccer team won their home opener, 2-1, on Sunday against Creighton University. The showdown with the Jays marked the second time these two teams have faced one another, with Creighton winning the first meeting in 2011, 2-0.

Boise State fell to Idaho State 2-1 on the road in overtime in their first game.

Against Creighton, the Broncos had a couple of early opportunities when sophomore Brooke Heidemann was streaking down the middle of the field, while strong defensive efforts from junior Mikhaila Bowden and freshman Hailey Devries thwarted early Creighton opportunities.

Senior Ashley Hruby had an excellent shot on goal in the 26th minute but Creighton’s freshman goal-

keeper, Danielle Rice, saved the shot.

Rice made key saves for Creighton, keeping her team within reach in the first half, saving a breakaway shot from junior Shannon Schueren in the 34th minute.

Sophomore Anna Popma assisted to senior Rebe Wolverton, just minutes after Wolverton subbed in the game, on a goal from about 40 yards to put the Broncos on the board.

“I like to bring a spark onto the field and help the starters when they’re tired,” Wolverton said after the game.

The Broncos had the advantage heading into half both with the score, 1-0, and shots on goal, 6-1.

The Bluejays didn’t get a shot on goal until the 41st minute.

Heidemann displayed her toughness in the 78th minute, as she chased down a lob pass and collided with

George Wade keeps Broncos in the game

Boise State won each of their first two games by a score of 2-1 the Creighton goalkeeper.

Heidemann appeared to have bumped heads but she popped right up after lying on the ground for a brief moment.

The Jays’ best opportunities came late in the second half with chances on rebound to put the ball in the net. They were unable to convert both opportunities.

Creighton was able to tie the game in the 82nd minute, when sophomore Alissa Kohmetscher put the ball in the net after a rebound.

With the score tied 1-1, Heidemann scored her sec-

ond goal of the season capping off the Broncos victory with an impressive goal from outside the box in the 87th minute.

“To show the heart to comeback when you give up a goal, I’m so proud of them for that,” Broncos head coach Jim Thomas said. “We work on that in training all the time, so they’re comfortable to how we’re going to react as a team.”

The win for the Broncos puts them at 1-1 as they face Seattle University in their next game on Aug. 30.

Engel’s Angle is Sports Editor John Engel’s personal take on various topics in the world of sports.

Fantasy football is a very beautiful thing. It is it an ideal way for millions of friends and family members to stay competitively connected throughout the years. The treachery, deceit and banter which take place are unbeatable. My personal fantasy league, which I will only refer to as “The League” for legal reasons, and its team owners are a perfect example of this.

We initially decided to start a league that would keep our group of friends connected, even though we are dispersed at five different colleges. I will now tell you how our league plans to deal with dreaded last place slot in the standings.

Reader discretion is advised.

If I finish last in the league, I have a few options of what my punishment will be. First, and probably the easiest, is the drag punishment. The team owner is required to dress in full drag, go downtown to a highly populated area and hold a sign that says “I suck at fantasy football” for three hours. This is easily the safest and least embarrassing of the punishments.

Secondly, the tattoo punishment. The winner of The League gets complete artistic freedom to place a three square inch tattoo on the last place team owner’s backside.

No restrictions.

The loser can also choose to wear nothing but a dog cone to a public event and, when questioned, the losing team’s owner is not allowed to explain the reason behind the dog cone. Sporting events are ideal, as the shamed fantasy player would be forced to sit next to the same people for multiple hours.

And easily the most disgusting consequence is the Craigslist casual encounter.

If the loser so chooses, he must browse the casual encounters page on Craigslist to select his “date” for the evening. What ensues after the meet and greet shall remain confidential.

After reading this, you may question my choice in friends and wonder how any of us are still enrolled at an accredited university. But actually, “The League” serves as the best way for us to stay connected, even when most of us are separated by thousands of miles.

Volleyball travels Boise State outside hitter Katelyn Kinghorn and Coach Shawn Garus improved their skills overseas John Engel Summers are meant for relaxing, vacationing and overall nonsense for most. Not for Boise State redshirt sophomore outside hitter Katelyn Kinghorn and her coach Shawn Garus, who both spent much of the summer improving their skills overseas.

Before starting his fourth season as head coach for the Broncos volleyball team, and the 11th of his career, Garus joined a USA development team as an assistant coach for the China-USA Challenge Invitational Tournament in China in June, where he helped lead a team of Division I collegiate athletes against professional team in China.

Kinghorn, on the other hand, played in the European Global Challenge in Pula, Croatia, with a team composed of select collegiate athletes from the Western United States.

Both teams were organized

by Bring It Promotions, an organization that promotes volleyball in the U. S. by sponsoring teams to play overseas.

Though Kinghorn gained valuable on-court training, she wasn’t the only one developing her game this summer.

Coach Garus used his trip as a way to improve his skills as a coach and bring back valuable lessons to share with his players in Boise.

“It was a great opportunity for me professionally to see a different style of volleyball and also to work with some USA pipeline athletes who have aspirations of playing professionally or even making the Olympic team in the future.”

@EngelESPN

Katelyn Kinghorn and Shawn Garus spent much of the summer overseas playing and coaching in foreign tournaments Garus’ team held three practice over one day and a half and then flew 16 hours to China to begin their trek to the six-day tournament. He enjoyed the opportunity, but expressed that leading an international team, while still recruiting high school athletes, is exhausting.

“I love the opportunity to broaden my scope as a coach

and help the USA athletes, but it’s also very taxing,” Garus said. “There’s a lot of time out of town and that was very taxing on my family to be gone that much.”

Kinghorn had a similarly hectic schedule, flying into Vienna, Austria, to meet up with other players and practice before leaving for Maribor, Slo-

venia, to further prepare for the tournament. She then made way for Pula, Croatia, to play in the tournament, all in nine days time before returning to the States.

“I definitely brought back more confidence, and being able to play good volleyball and start early was good for me,” Kinghorn said. “(The for-

eign players) had a lot of gusto and they just go for it every time; all out.”

The talent level in China is very high, being that there are multiple professional leagues in the region, so Garus used the opportunity to share ideas with his own team back home.

“I took the iPad with me and I took a lot of video of how the

Chinese teams were training, and how fast they played, and came back and shared that with our staff and some of our players,” Garus said. “We have a lot of new training ideas for our team here at Boise State.”

With the help of Kinghorn and Garus, Boise State volleyball will have an international flair this season.
