Two women. One bell. A lasting mark on Boise State history. This is the story of the Gray Grannies, who were once Blonde Bombshells. This story begins in the ‘50s, when Boise State University was Boise Junior College, before many students today were even born. “Times were a lot different, my dear. We couldn’t wear pants anywhere on campus so we were nothing but young ladies looking for a way out,” Kathie Olson said, laughing. Olson shared a suite in Morrison Hall with Ann Murdock in 1957 and they were known around campus as the Blonde Bombshells. Olson and Murdock were more than just a couple of bombshells though — they also were the ladies responsible for bringing the “bell of excellence” to campus. In those days, the college’s rules were far more stringent than they are today. “We had to be locked up at 10:30 every night in those days so we didn’t get to do much that is fun,” Olson said, describing a more conservative campus environment. However, an early curfew didn’t always keep BJC students out of trouble. There was a fierce rivalry between BJC and the College of Idaho (C of I), located in Caldwell. “I wasn’t very athletic but I know there was a rivalry between the schools,” Olson said. Murdock said she thought of it as more of a campus rivalry or cross valley rivalry. “We always thought we were as good as they were or better,” she said. At the time, the College of Idaho was a four-year school while BJC was a two-year school and the athletic teams never had an opportunity to face each other on the field.

In a letter to The Arbiter written last May, Olson stated the rivalry between the two schools resulted in “friendly thefts that were nevertheless causing increasing friction between the schools and the law.” The targets of the thefts were Boise Junior College’s $400 highway sign with the classic bronco display and the College of Idaho’s 1,200-pound victory bell commonly used to signal touchdowns at home football games. “I have no idea who started it but they sent their guys over to steal our sign so we started to steal their bell,” Murdock explained. “I had no part in anything illegal,” Olson clarified. A 1957 article in the “BJC Roundup,” the weekly school paper at the time, detailed one eventful night of thievery in particular. “Sunday night, four carloads of BJC students drove to the C. of I. campus,” it reported. Students allegedly caused damage to the stadium goal posts and a letter “B” was burned into the C of I field. Of course, retaliation wasn’t far behind and the Boise police were tipped off to roughly 70 C of I students headed to BJC campus for revenge. “They didn’t have their bell half the time and we didn’t have our sign board half the time,” Murdock recalled. Continued exploits of thievery would have most likely resulted in jail time for students, so the Blonde Bomshells decided to write a letter to Union Pacific Railroad requesting a bell hoping that the thefts would cease that if both colleges had a bell. Six days later, a letter arrived addressed to Miss Ann Walstra (now Murdock) and Miss Kathie Links (now Olson). The official Union Pacific heading framed a letter that was short and to the point. “Agreeable to your letter … Union Pacific Railroad Company will furnish ‘no charge’ …

Kathie Olson and Ann Murdock brought a bell to campus to end a bitter rivalry.

Victory Bell Given By Union Pacific Boise Junior College will receive a victory bell in the near future, according to sophomore students Kathie Link and Ann Walstra. The news of the bell came in a letter answering a letter they recently wrote to Union Pacific Railroad headquarters inOmaha, Nebraska, inquiring into the possibility of obtaining an old locomotive

The ladies don’t recall much about seeing the bell arrive except once seeing it on a crate. “Eventually it just showed up by the football field,” Olson said. “The bell was supposed to be a victory bell so they would ring it after, you know, football victories,” Murdock explained. And for a long time, the bell was transported to the football field for games. The Blonde Bombshellsturned-Gray Grannies no longer live in the greater Boise area, but this April, the ladies made a trip to Boise State to walk their old stomping grounds. During their visit, some students helped them find their way around Morrison Hall and to the current location of the bell. “We couldn’t believe we found it again … it’s got a lovely setting now, and nobody could steal it anymore,” Olson commented on the bell’s new home set in stone.

bell. The girls included in their letters clippings from newspapers concerning the C of I bell incidents. The return letter from the Union Pacific Railroad stated that a bronze bell weighing 350 pounds was being shipped expense paid to the college and would arrive within two to four weeks. The bell is complete with yoke and clapper.

Traveling College Fall of 1957 Idaho Bell Takes New Round Trip to Boise CALDWELL – The “case of the missing bell,” thought Friday by official of the College of Idaho and Boise Junior College to be solved, was reopened Saturday when the 1200-pound bell disappeared again from the C of I campus, but was found later in Boise by a group of students of the school and returned once more to its place in Caldwell, according to the Canyon county sheriff ’s office. The big bell, used by College of Idaho students at football games to signal a touchdown for the home team, had been returned to the school Friday evening in a ceremony at Hayman field. The bell had been missing from its mooring in front of the student bleachers since last fall, and was found in Boise by police officers. In exchange for the bell, C of I students had returned a BJC sign board, and officials of the two schools said they hoped this ceremony would end a series of pranks by students that had cost some $150 in damage. Saturday morning, the bell was gone again, the sheriff ’s office said. It had been taken sometime Friday night – before it could be installed again at the C of I football field. The sheriff ’s office said a group of College of Idaho students evidently drove to Boise Saturday and recovered the bell. “Our informant at the college did not say where in Boise they found the bell, but he did say it was back in Caldwell Saturday night and was going to be well-guarded until it is installed again at the stadium,” the sheriff said.

The tarmac was hot that day, as Red Bull Air Force Champion Miles Daisher suited up for what would be the most anticipated jump of the weekend. With senior physics major Trevor Engman and Boise Weekly reporter Andrew Mentzer geared up alongside, it was sure to be a day of high fives, killer rides and wild dives. The three amigos met at Skydown Sky Diving in Caldwell Friday Aug 26 to psyche each other out, measure velocity and throw back some cold Red Bulls in the interest of science.

event that drew not only attention from The Arbiter but also KIVI. An officiated name-out-ofthe-hat ceremony picked Engman up from relative obscurity and consequently dropped him out of the sky. Tiffany Watkins, an adjunct professor of physics caught wind of the event and saw it as an excellent opportunity for free publicity and also a chance for an eager student to be tossed out of an airplane. “I thought it would be fun for somebody to do,” Watkins said. “It gets our name out there and it lets people know that we’re not a bunch of nerds hanging around and doing math. We can do fun things too.” Watkins, with an expressed interest from Red Bull, sought to use the jump as a chance to gather data in a way that had yet to be seen on campus. Youthful escapades such as these, sponsored by the energy drink aficionados, draw all kinds of positive attention

to Boise State and create a new realm of studies that can be done around the crossover between extreme sports and academia. “I’m always stoked when Red Bull is around,” Engman said. “They’re one of those companies that is always really awesome about getting people involved and getting out there and doing cool things.” This jump acts as a preview for the Perrine Bridge Festival in Twin Falls, a long time favorite of Daisher’s, set to take place Sept. 9 and 10 at the Twin Falls Visitor Center. The festival is a fundraiser for children with special medical needs and features a fun run, kayak races, half-hourly BASE jumping and skydiving exhibitions and fun fare for the whole family. “It’s a festival to celebrate the canyon, the bridge, Twin Falls and life in general,” said Daisher, who will be hosting contests throughout the entire weekend.

Save $5 on parking — transfer Comparatively, Boise State students have reasonable parking options Suzanne Craig

Breaking News Editor Virtually every student who owns a car has been there. Five minutes before class, frantically searching for a parking space in the general permit areas only to see a vacancy one row over and just before you get to it — wham! Another car whips into “your” spot. There are always the same gripes about parking from students: there are never enough spots and permits are too expensive. However, in comparison to other universities, Boise State students really aren’t all that bad off. Now, 850 more spaces are available with the Lincoln parking garage addition, and 700 of them are in that parking garage. The other 150 are spread out around campus. That’s an increase of 11 percent, since according to J.C. Porter, assistant director of Transportation and Parking Services, there are around 7,200 spaces total. Of these 7,200 parking spaces, around 2,500 are general permit spaces, while the rest are divided among reserved spaces, metered parking, accessible spots and paid parking. Monday, Parking Services reported selling 7,500 permits — 300 more than there are spaces currently available. This overselling method works out because despite Boise State’s development toward a more traditional university, the majority of students are commuters, meaning if they don’t have classes on Tuesday and Thursday, they won’t

come in that day, and they are probably not going to leave a car sitting in the parking lot all day. This leaves room for some overselling without a constant reenactment of parking Armageddon come 8 a.m. “If everyone came at once, we’d be in trouble,” Porter said. Compared to other campuses, Boise State has a pretty good system despite common complaints. For example, the University of Washington has about 60,000 students and only has 7,500 spaces. There was a cap put on in 1982, so there isn’t even an option to create more! Boise State students also pay less for parking than some other universities in the West. According to their website, the University of Montana’s parking permits are $185 a year for general parking, while reserved parking is $555 a year. Idaho State has general permits for $100 and reserved for $300, and University of Idaho has general permits running at $126 and reserved (Gold) at a decent $325. Boise State rates are $111 a year for general parking and $305 for reserved parking, where spaces are located in places like in the Lincoln and Brady garages. So, comparatively, prices and spot availability at Boise are pretty good. But, it still hurts to fork over the $111 required to park. Unfortunately, “just build more parking spots” isn’t a solution to a shortage of truly wallet-friendly parking spaces. There’s a finite amount of space available for expansion. Additionally, constructing

Cars navigate the entrance of the Brady Parking Garage at Boise State University Aug. 30, 2011. these spaces wouldn’t be “wallet-friendly” for drivers. Transportation and Parking Services doesn’t receive anything from the university in terms of funding — all the money for the recent Lincoln parking garage construction came from the money generated by selling permits. More construction means more spaces, but comes with a hike in permit prices.

This does not lend well to the less painful permit prices idea. Sadly, possible solutions to the five-minutes-before-class, stolen parking spot scenario don’t really include having a new parking spot magically appear around the corner at no extra cost. Instead, it’s the broken record: carpool, ride a bike, take the bus (it’s free!) or even

walk, if you are really close to campus. In short: sure, in a perfect world, students with cars would each get their own space, right next to the building they have the most classes in for piecemeal. But in the real world, it doesn’t work that way. Compared to similarly sized schools across the country, Boise State students still have a decent parking system.

Either way, changes in parking policy aren’t going to be happening any time soon and whining about prices or too few spaces certainly isn’t going to help anything. If it’s that big of an issue and the five-minutes before class freak-out is a common occurrence, waking up a bit earlier in order to have a ten or twenty minute freak-out instead is probably worth some thought.

Time to throw out the trash TV Ben Mack

The end is nigh? Nah.

Opinion Editor Smothered in furs and boosted by Botox®, they idle away their time downing shots and lounging in lingerie. They drink like fishes and gossip endlessly about the men in their lives. A “Sex and the City” remake? Hardly. Just your average primetime programming. TV has gone downhill, period. People shouldn’t fixate on such junk, but for some reason they seem hooked on watching others act stupid. “Russian Dolls” is a perfect example of such trash television. The show supposedly offers a glimpse into the lives of eight women from New York’s Brighton Beach neighborhood, known for its large community of Russian immigrants. But “Russian Dolls” is the epitome of trash TV -- both for its incredibly vacuous content and the downright insulting impression it gives its viewers of the Russian community. Even the show’s name is offensive: “Russian Dolls” is an ethnic slur used by sex traffickers for women from Eastern Europe and Russia. And it goes downhill from there: a trailer for the show features a full-scale brawl and a man being dumped for not being of Russian heritage. Throw in shots of Botox®, a beauty competition for grandmothers, lashings of vodka and the familiar “car crash” formula seems complete. One of the show’s main characters, Diana, states in the Aug. 11 debut episode, “I believe in plastic surgery. I believe in Botox®.” Garbage? Absolutely. Too bad “Russian Dolls” is not alone. The inspiration for that show, “Jersey Shore,” remains the highest-rated show on MTV. More than 8 million viewers across the U.S. tuned

Throwing your TV away would be a better alternative to watching ridiculous shows such as “Jersey Shore.” Adding to these shows’ viewership worsens TV in general. in to see a special episode of it before the Video Music Awards (VMAs) Sunday night, the highlight of which was Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s head losing a fight with a concrete wall. This year, viewership for the show was up 40 percent from the 5.7 million who watched the pre-VMA episode last year. Overall, the show has proven to be huge for MTV, finishing No. 1 in the top 25 cable shows each week during the summer according to the industry-standard Nielsen ratings. Already four weeks into its fourth season, “Jersey Shore” has had a major impact on youth culture and society since its 2009 premiere on MTV. The reality show features eight East Coast natives living in the same (usually New Jersey-based) house over the summer. Most of the cast members spend their time partying, drinking, going to clubs and having sex with each other. The show’s most famous character,

Snooki, is known for public intoxication, getting punched in the face and blatant stupidity. As if the lives of the Jersey Shore crew weren’t vapid enough, the cast also receives a massive salary just for living the life they lead: according to Entertainment Weekly, the members of the core group of the series make roughly $100,000 per episode. With 13 episodes each season, that means each cast member makes around $1.3 million. Needless to say, the show has already been renewed by MTV for a fifth season. Another MTV show, “Skins,” has been accused by the Los Angeles-based Parents Television Council of promoting child porn. To show how serious they are, they drafted a letter in January calling on the chairman of the U.S. Senate and House Judiciary Committees and the Department of Justice to investigate. Just a few years ago, shows like “The Simpsons” and “Bea-

vis and Butthead” were considered raunchy. Today, these shows are considered by many to be relatively tame. With the downward trend of the quality of television programming over the past few years, one has to wonder what’s next on the horizon. Before we know it, snuff shows (those that show an actual person dying) like the kind seen in the movie Death Race may become all the rage. It seems crazy now, but given the way things are going, it’s in the realm of possibility. What people have to do to stop this degradation of a formerly great media outlet is refuse to watch these shows. Change the channel or, better yet, turn the TV off all together. When the ratings for shows such as Russian Dolls go down, they will be canceled, and perhaps television companies will replace the trash with something worth watching. We can only hope.

News flash: the end of the world is coming. But it probably won’t happen in our generation’s lifetime. Listen to the news these days and you’re likely to be bombarded by a stream of stories suggesting our impending doom: earthquakes on the East Coast, flooding in the Midwest, hurricanes across the globe and temperature extremes never before seen in recorded history. There’s worldwide economic instability the likes of which have never been seen before and wars raging on almost every continent. It seems like quite a few people are jumping on the end of the world bandwagon. Earlier this year, 90-year-old Christian radio broadcaster Harold Camping spent over $100 million on an advertising campaign warning people that Rapture – the belief in the return of Jesus Christ – would occur May 21. Normally this kind of thing would go unnoticed, except one thing: Camping’s Family Radio empire reaches more than 150 media markets in the U.S. alone and is broadcast in 44 countries. When May 22 came around, Camping said he was “flabbergasted” that we were all still alive. He now claims the end of the world will happen Oct. 21, 2011. And if Camping is wrong for a third time, there’s always the 2012 crowd: those who believe the world will end Dec. 21, 2012 with the end of the ancient Mayan calendar. What some fail to see is that many experts believe the Mayan calendar doesn’t suggest the end of the world, but rather a restart of the same calendar. Much like a new year. When it comes down to it, believing the Apocalypse is imminent is just plain silly: believe it or not, never before have humans lived in such a peaceful time as the present, and we’re living longer than ever before. And people have been stating for ages the end of the world is imminent: remember the Y2K panic a few years ago? So much for that. Regardless of your religious beliefs (or nonbelief), the end of the world is still a long way away. So let’s focus on working toward a better future, not living in fear of it. Besides, if the world does end five minutes from now, none of us would have time to worry about it anyway.
