Breaking News Backpack stolen in library

Danielle Allsop @Danibanani

With over 22,000 students, Boise State is the largest university in the state of Idaho. However, some organizations believe the university and its students are not being compensated fairly for those numbers. The Associated Students of Boise State University (ASBSU) have created an initiative called “Broncos Deserve,” which, according to Cassie Sullivan, ASBSU’s secretary of external affairs, “is a campaign intended to raise awareness about inequitable funding to Boise State University from the state of Idaho.” According to Sullivan, Boise State students only receive 2/3 the amount of funding per student, compared to other universities in Idaho. In 2011, Boise State received only $2,127 per student, compared to University of Idaho’s $3,395 per student. However, enrollment records show Boise State’s student population at 19, 664 in the fall of 2011, while the University of Idaho’s student population only reached 12,312 in the fall of 2011. Sullivan believes the difference is a matter of updating the idea that the University of Idaho is not Idaho’s only leading university. “There is no justification for the gap,” Sullivan said. Connor Griffith, a junior kinesiology major agrees. “I think it’s ridiculous. They are both public universities,” Griffith said. “They should receive the same amount of funding. I would say the same thing if Boise State was getting more (funding) than University of Idaho.” If the Idaho Legislature were to give Boise State an increase in money allotted for each student, the money would have to be taken away from other institutions and universities, which creates a separate controversy. “We recognize the difficulties in taking money away from institutions, yet, it does not explain (or) justify Boise State receiving the lowest amount of state dollars. An Idaho student should not be penalized for choosing one Idaho institution over the other,” Sullivan said. ASBSU’s “Broncos Deserve” campaign informs students and legislators about the inequity as well as making a case for every Bronco. “Our plea it that the state values every student in Idaho the same. It is not an issue of rivalry; it is an issue of equality,” Sullivan said. Students who want to get involved can visit Broncosdeserve.com and sign the petition. Students can also visit the ASBSU website. Sullivan encourages students to fight for the money they deserve. “In order to make this case, we must showcase the value of Boise State students,” Sullivan said.

Alcohol risk The truth at Boise State

Katie Meikle Staff Writer

In the fall of 2011, the American College Health Association National College Health Assessment II (ACHA-NCHA II) was conducted at Boise State. According to this study, 97.6 percent of students reported doing one or more listed “safe” drinking behaviors frequently when they drank or partied in the past year, including eating while drinking, avoiding drinking games and using a designated driver. However, 48.4 percent reported they had engaged in any on a list of “unsafe” drinking behaviors in the same time period, including getting in trouble with the police, getting injured and having non-consensual or unprotected sex. The question has been raised whether or not the majority of undergraduate students at Boise State know how to party safely. According to Lauren Baines, a health educator for the University

pg 3

Arts & Entertainment

Health and Recreation Services, the answer is a resounding yes. “On this report, there is statistics showing safe drinking practices. For instance, 87 percent of our students use a designated driver,” Baines said. “Also, 78.8 percent of our students eat before or during drinking, which is also a good or safe drinking practice.” While the data from this report is from 2011, Baines is currently in the process of implementing a new survey for fall 2013, due to come out midOctober to late November. According to Baines, these surveys help Boise State officials with alcohol safety initiatives. A major obstacle for health educators in alcohol education, however, is uncertainty among college students about what it means to be a designated driver. “It should be somebody that has zero drinks, and not just one,” Baines said. “That tends to be a misconception that I try to debunk.”

Opinion

Brittany Lock, a freshman at Boise State studying elementary education, stated that if anything about Boise State makes it a potentially unsafe drinking environment, it would be the risk of drunk driving because Boise State is a dry campus. “You’re actually traveling distances at Boise State so if people are driving obviously when they’ve been partying, then I would think BSU would be less safe in that way,” Lock said. Party safety comes down to an individual’s ability to make safetyconscious decisions about drinking. While in general Boise State students know how to handle themselves in party situations, Lock said, “There’s good and bad apples in every bunch.” There may also be some variation in the drinking dynamics at Boise State based on age and gender. “Kids here want to drink as much as possible and when they turn 21; it just gets out of control,” said Mitch Culbertson,

pg 8

a junior political science major at Boise State. Culbertson said in his experience there is a notable difference in drinking habits between men and women. “When guys feel out of it they’ll stop, and either go home or crash. Girls, from my experience, don’t like to stop drinking once they start,” Culbertson said. Regardless of these differences, Culbertson thinks there are some basic rules every college student should follow while drinking or partying while attending Boise State. “If they have any common sense, they won’t take a drink that’s handed to them that’s open. If it’s closed, then it’s okay most of the time,” Culbertson said. The party atmosphere at Boise State is safe for the most part, Culbertson indicated that, “There’s a few houses I know that people should right out avoid, because it’s bad. Certain party houses are just extremely sketch.”

TALK NERDY TO ME

richae Swanbeck /THE ARBITER

Talk Nerdy to Me is a technology column written by Derek Deulus to provide technological advice for Boise State community.

Students enjoy participating in the annual Service Saturday event hosted by SILC.

SILC hosts Service Saturday Mallory Barker @Mal_a_gal

The Student Involvement and Leadership Center (SILC) hosts a Service Saturday event once a month throughout the school year. The event is a series of service opportunities open to all members of the Boise State community. Erin VanDenburgh, campus programs coordinator for SILC, explained why Service Saturday is different from other service events. “Service Saturday offers

a buffet of service options where students can come and get a free breakfast and engage in a simple and direct service project,” VanDenburgh said. Service Saturday occurs once a month from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. starting in the Student Union Building. Breakfast is provided for participants in the Student Union Building(SUB) before heading to the service site. “We try to do it at least three times a semester depending on availability,” VanDenburgh said. “We try to plan it towards the beginning of the month

but sometimes we have to be a bit more flexible.” A list of Service Saturday dates and projects can be found on SILC’s websites. VanDenburgh stated that SILC tries to use the weather as a basis for what kind of project they will be engaging in. “We try to take advantage of the outdoor weather aspect,” Erin said. “We do a lot of projects with Parks and Recreation, community gardens and things like that.” VanDenburgh also said Service Saturday is a great stepping stone into a life of

Women’s Center offers help @Wadapatch

The Women’s Center is a valuable resource for many students around campus. With an office environment composed of a mix of professional staff and student employees, they offer more than support; students can utilize the center for relaxation, meetings, education and as a place of acceptance. Daniel Morgan, a junior elementary education major, works in the center as a gender equity peer educator focusing on masculinity and LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, ally, asexual) issues. “The Women’s Center is a valuable resource to all Boise State students,” Morgan said. “Not just for the people that could be affected by it, like the LGBTQIA community here on campus, but it also offers education to students who maybe aren’t sure what LGBTQIA stands for or people who don’t know what transgender means or how privilege works.” Adriane Bang, violence prevention and support coordinator, explained gender identity in more detail. “Sexual orientation and gender identity are all pieces of our identity, everyone has one,” Bang said. “Sometimes people use the umbrella term

the arbiter The Arbiter

of queer but as you might imagine, other folks find that to not be descriptive of who they are, so folks spell it out in this kind of acronym.” Bang continued to say the biggest part in helping people understand who the center is and what the center does is by letting people know the center is really interested in starting conversations around gender. “The support services are

really based around gender,” Bang said. “Any of the different kinds of issues they (students) see on our site, they are definitely our focus areas, particularly LGBTQIA and healthy relationships, nontraditional students, masculinity, those kinds of core areas.” According to their website, The Women’s Center hosts numerous events and workshops on the Boise State cam-

why Service Saturday is an important part of Boise State campus. “The overarching goal is to connect students to the greater Boise community and inspire them to achieve their potential in terms of changing the world,” VanDenburgh said. “It doesn’t matter how small or large the act is it’s really making sure that students know they can have a positive impact on their community.

pus including ally trainings, bystander intervention trainings, healthy relationships and other gender related topics. There’s a variety of ways for people to get involved with the center, according to Bang. She suggests starting with their mailing list to find out what they’re all about. “Folks can come in and just walk through the center,” Bang said. “We give tours all the time, every single day, whenever we’re open.” Historically women faced

marginalization and difficulty accessing secondary education as well as transitioning to the work place, so according to Bang, women’s centers developed nationwide to address those needs. Women’s centers provide support giving women equal access to education in addition to many other programs and policies. “The Women’s Center today functions in core support of that but also provides a lot of other support services to folks in many different identities,” Bang said.

volunteering and community service, she encourages anyone that might want to take that first step to volunteering to join them in one of their upcoming events. “It’s a really fun way to engage in service,” VanDenburgh said. SILC encourages students to dress according to the weather and location of the site where students will be volunteering. SILC stresses open toed shoes are not appropriate footwear. VanDenburgh explained with passion in her voice

The Women’s Center is located on the second floor of the Student Union Building.

If you like to play Videogames, then today I am going to take you on a basic course of PC gaming. I’m not talking about Farmville or Solitaire. I’m talking about real video games. The first step to playing PC games is knowing your limitations on what hardware you have. Many people have laptops as their primary PC’s and while laptops are great, they are not really designed for graphically intense gaming. This does not mean that you cannot play high end PC games on your laptop. In fact many laptops will run most games. But your game might be running on the lowest possible settings and may not look as beautiful as it was meant to look. So how can you tell what your laptop has under the hood? Without getting into numbers and getting too technical, the easiest way is to look up the model number of your laptop on the internet and look at the specifications of your PC. You’re going to see one of two keywords listed. It will either say “Integrated Graphics” or “Discrete Graphics”. If your PC has integrated graphics, then you’re going to have to keep your games set at very low settings. What this means is your PC’s CPU is working doubletime. It has to process information and well as process graphics. If your PC is listed as having discrete graphics, then your PC has a separate graphics card from your CPU. This means you can turn up the graphics settings and your games will look better and run faster. The second step of PC gaming is getting the games. The majority of PC games are sold digitally now through online gaming platforms. The most popular and most highly recommended is Steam. If you have ever played on an Xbox 360, then think of this as your Xbox Live for PC gaming. Steam has friend lists with chat, community forums, achievements, and loads of games. The best part of Steam and PC gaming are the deals. Steam has frequent “Steam Sales” where many popular games can be purchased for $15 or less. Your purchases are always available on steam and can be installed on multiple PC’s. You can join Steam for free at store.steampowered. com/.

Boise State holds unequal coaching jobs Emily Pehrson @EmilyPehrson

Since Title IX, a policy requiring all universities to provide equal opportunities for men and women, was passed in 1972 the number of female athletes has grown 560 percent. According to the NCAA, this has led to an estimated 193,500 female college athletes in 2012. However this hasn’t carried over to the coaching side of the game. According to a study published by The Sports Psychologist Journal, when Title IX was passed in 1972 more than 90 percent of existing female teams were coached by women. In 2006 when the study was published, that number had shrunk to only 42.4 percent nationally. It has become normal for men to take the lead role in coaching women’s athletics. That is a trend that has carried over to Boise State. Listed on the Bronco Sports staff directory are 23

Test Time! Annie Kerrick, Boise State’s Title IX and 504 Coordinator, was interviewed regarding mandatory reporting in relation to her

coaching positions for teams made up entirely of women. Of those 23 positions only 11 are filled by women. Currently one position, assistant softball coach, remains unfilled. “I think it is very interesting as popularity has grown in female sports the number of males we are competing with for jobs has increased,” said Heather Sower, assistant coach for the women’s basketball team said in an email. “As pay has increased, partly due to Title IX, the jobs have become more lucrative for males. Ironic!” Conversely, of the 24 coaching positions for men’s teams not one is filled by a woman. While the numbers seem to reflect some bias, Sower stressed that she hasn’t felt any discrimination from Boise State because of her sex, however the male dominated mindset is apparent in day to day operations. “I haven’t ever felt more pressure, if anything people really do want to hire qualified females to be involved

in female sports,” Sower said. “However it is very common in ever day interactions for people, females included, to always want to defer to the males on our staff or assume that the males are the ones in charge...they often will gravitate to our sports information director or male manager for answers assuming they are the ones making the decisions.”

Garden gains attenion Madison Killian @Maddaysunn

In Seattle, Wash., a cultural movement called Beacon Food Forest is taking place. Located in Jefferson Park, just 2.5 miles away from Seattle’s main city center, the food forest will resemble an actual woodland ecosystem. The food forest will be comprised entirely of plants with edible foods such as fruit trees. There will also be plants that can be used medicinally. The project was awarded a $20,000 grant from the Small and Simple Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) in 2010 from the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods. With these funds, a design team was hired to create and design this project. In December of 2011 the project received $100,000 from the Department of Neighborhoods to begin phase one of the food forest plan. The forest will sit on seven acres and will have community workshops that teach members of the

community how this ecosystem thrives. The Beacon Food Forest’s mission statement is to “design, plant and grow an edible urban forest garden that inspires our community to gather together, grow our own food and rehabilitate our local ecosystem,” according to beaconfoodforest.weebly.com Boise has a vastly different climate and ecosystem than Seattle, but you don’t have to be a botanist to know that this is a great idea. Boise State students offer their opinion on the project and weigh the pros and cons of a similar project being brought to

one of Boise’s parks. “That’s awesome, it’s helping other people,” said Lauren Kraemer, a senior nursing major. “I don’t see any reason to not bring it here. I mean, since we have harsh winters it might not work then, but in the summer and springtime and even into fall it would be awesome.” Other stated reasons for the Beacon Food Forest include improving public health, reducing climate impact and improving the security of the food supply. It’ll all be organic and fresh. Freddie Tellez, a freshman international business major said, “If there’s like bums and stuff it

seems a little dirty. But, it’s a good idea.” The worry about homeless people was shared by another student. Melissa Liner, a sophomore health science studies major said, “That’s really cool. I don’t know about bringing it here. That’d attract a lot of homeless people and I don’t know if we have the resources to take care of more of them. But, that is a really neat idea.” Other students thought the edible forest was a perfectly fine idea.

“I think it’s a good idea. Whatever they can do to help the (hunger) situation. I think bringing it here would be a great idea,” said Megan Beumeler, a sophomore physical education major. There haven’t been any plans to bring similar projects to Boise. A project like this takes years to perfect and get into gear. Visit beaconfoodforest. weebly.com for more info.

Movie Series Ryan Hoffman

@CardGameFool99

Every two to three weeks in the Special Events Center (SPEC) in the SUB, Boise State’s Student Involvement & Leadership Center hosts the Blockbuster Movie Series. At 7 p.m. on various Thursdays, students can view a recent popular film (not currently out on DVD) with popcorn and soda, all for free (non-students pay just $1 for the whole package). But what is the process of selecting the films? “It starts with the programming assistants in our office. They are the student staff who actually plan and implement events on campus. They work with a team of volunteer students called the In-Team,” Erin VanDenburgh, campus programs coordinator with SILC said; “We also work with a company called Swank Motion Pictures. They’re a thirdparty company who contracts with production companies like Warner Bros. to procure films prior to their in-home release dates.” Estephanie Vega, programming assistant with SILC, said, “ We use a program called Poll Everywhere, where we have a list of, say, four movies, and audience members can DIV: text9in a codeSIZE: for that65FC movie into the program (set up DATE: in the9-12-13 theater). We can see which film gets the highest number of votes, and then we end up purchasing that one (from Swank) and getting it for the next MKTS: movie BSU night.” “It’s more of a popular vote, similar to how the Boise Classic Movies at the Egyptian Theater are voted (for),” VanDenburgh described. “Our system is a text-to-vote system the screen in the SPEC will say ‘What movie do you want to see next showing?’ They’ll get multiple options, and then you text your answer.” But it’s not just the people attending the Movie Nights who get to choose what films they want to see. “We’ll post something on our Facebook page as well, and probably Twitter, to engage folks in making that choice so it feels like it’s more their decision and not some person in an office somewhere deciding, ‘You’re going to watch this this week,’” VanDenburgh said. The hope is that they pick movies students want to see, to get a bigger turnout. “We try to keep the movie choices to what students would want to see so we can get people there and pack the SPEC. Last week, we had “The Great Gatsby” and it (had) a really good turnout, and the people that went enjoyed CONTENT CHECKED ” Vega said. BY it, DESIGNER The Movie Nights aren’t just for students to enjoy DESIGN APPROVED themselves with the art of cinema.

Vega voiced optimism about future Movie PLACED IN DOCUSHARE Nights. “It’s an interesting way to get people together, to come and watch movies with their friends,” Vega said. The next film being shown is “The Amazing Spider-Man” on Sept. 27, held in the Special Events Center in the Student Union Building, at 7 p.m.

While on tour with A Day to Remember and Pierce the Veil, All Time Low and The Wonder Years added a few extra dates to play cities which weren’t already on the tour schedule. A Day to Remember and Pierce the Veil will not be performing at the Boise tour date, to many fans’ dismay. All Time Low has been a band since 2003 and its four members — Alex Gaskarth, Jack Barakat, Rian Dawson and Zack Merrick — have been with the band since its creation. Although fans can expect an army of fifteen-year-old girls to toss their bras onstage or fart jokes from the band as usual, the fan base has definitely grown-up, and the band has matured along with them. Musically, they’ve gone in a new and fresher direction. “The whole party vibe with

the band is the kind of thing a college kid or older can come and have a good time. Our show’s different every night; we try to keep it fresh,” said guitarist Jack Barakat in an interview with citypages.com. In the interview, frontman Alex Gaskarth elaborates on their music. “You just have to be authentic and write what you want to write, or people will see through it. We’ve had a taste of that. We’ve tried to make the compromises with our last record where we took ambitious shots writing towards the top 40-radio market. It’s not to say I don’t like the songs, but I think there were certain people in our fan base that did see through it. I think it’s important to learn from that,” said Gaskarth. Mostly referred to as a pop-punk band, All Time Low has a unique sound that can’t quite be put into words. The band, formed in 2003 in Baltimore, Md., has made great strides in the past few years. Their latest release titled “Don’t Panic” has been cited by many of their fans as being their best album release so far. On Sept. 30, the band will release an extended version of the album with new songs. Their latest single, “A Love Like War” features

During slower songs, such as “Therapy” and “Remembering Sunday,” tears are a common sight, as is jumping and laughing during more fun

2005 under a different name, their music has been called everything from pop-punk to melodic hardcore. Members include Matt Brasch, Nick Steinborn, Casey Cavaliere, Dan Campbell, Josh Martin and Mike Kennedy. Their latest release, “The Greatest Generation” has been of great

More students than ever are using LinkedIn in addition to other social media.

LinkedIn exapands for student, universities to expand its target audience. With more than 238 million members worldwide, LinkedIn says its users already include 30 million college students and recent graduates, which it describes as its fastestgrowing demographic. LinkedIn offers free membership; it makes money from showing ads to users and by providing software that employers and recruiters use to search the site for job candidates. The company already offers tools for recruiters to reach college students. “That pre-college group is going to become college students pretty quickly, so it does sort of feed the machine in terms of promoting growth,” said Susan Etlinger, an industry ana-

lyst who studies social media for Altimeter Group. The new university pages could be a valuable resource for students, Etlinger added. But as with other social networks, she said, teens should be mindful that anything they post might be seen by admissions officers or prospective employers. While some colleges already have pages on Facebook, Etlinger said LinkedIn’s move may put pressure on more schools to increase their social media efforts. A LinkedIn spokeswoman said universities won’t pay to have pages on the network, which plans to start with 200 schools and add more in coming weeks.

Halloween or not, if you already dig karaoke, trading the bouncing ball of the video screen for a live rock band should represent a stellar opportunity to up your game as a karaoke super star of local proportions. On the flip side, if you have a history of falling into a torrential whirlpool of insecurity after one too many sing-alongs gone wrong, I humbly suggest—as a fellow vocally challenged stage fright sufferer—that easing into it with a live band on your team may be the best way to conquer the fear.

Hoping to attract younger users, career-oriented social network LinkedIn announced Monday that it’s adding a feature for universities to promote themselves and will allow students as young as 14 to open accounts. “This is a way we can engage kids in their future,” said LinkedIn product manager Christina Allen. “We’ve done a huge amount of research with parents and universities, and we saw how powerful it is to give these insights to students.” LinkedIn has been aimed at an audience of professionals and college students aged 18 or older, Allen said, but 14 “is re-

When was the last time you sang a rock & roll cover of “Ice Ice Baby” with a live band, chugged a 32 oz. porter, and played a game of Skee-Ball within a 15 minute window? Unless you frequent Sammy’s downtown, I wager it’s been entirely too long, my friend. But you can remedy your deficiency of radness thanks to weekly performances by Boise Rockeoke, a cover band that invites you onstage to take over the vocals. The extensive list of over 100 songs—with more being added all the time—played by the band includes a number of karaoke staples like “Don’t Stop Believing” and “I Love Rock & Roll,” along with a slew of eclectic classics and underground favorites that would normally be excluded from the typical song catalogue. The band is also willing to alter the style of a song to the singer’s liking, so if you want to perform some Bob Marley in the style of Black Flag, by golly, ain’t no one gonna stop you. Band leader Chris Cullinan sites King Missile’s “Detachable Penis” as one of his favorite songs to play at Rockeoke, but adds that more seldom requested songs tend to be more interesting.

They include tools for sorting LinkedIn’s membership data to researching things like the kind of jobs a particular school’s graduates have landed, or where employees of a particular company earned their degrees. Skeptics might question how many 14-year-olds are making serious career plans, but analysts say it makes sense for LinkedIn

If you mess up a verse, they’ll even loop back to it and give you another shot. “It’s less about the song and more about (the singers) and their experiences,” Cullinan said. “Some songs I don’t like, I’m starting to add on to the set, because when people get on and sing with us it’s not the like the same song that I don’t like. They make it their own. ...People love to sing ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ and I hate that song, but people get really into it and like clench their eyes and shit,” Cullinan said. The saga of Boise Rockeoke (pronounced: raw-key-oh-key) began

when the Red Room put out an ad for a house karaoke band at their old 6th & Main location. Cullinan said yes to the gig before the band was even formed. He made some calls, threw a band together and kicked off a year of regular Rockeoke shows at the venue. Boise Rockeoke now makes their home most Saturday nights at Sammy’s near 5th & Main downtown.

Chase down your civic education Tabitha Bower As college students, we need to demand our civic education, and if one is not provided for us by our educational systems, we need to take the initiative to inform ourselves and become civically minded and engaged citizens. In a Sept. 5 address to conference attendees at Boise State, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, retired U.S. Supreme Court justice, pointed to the current lack of civic education and civic understanding among Americans. “Only about one third of adult Americans can name the three branches of government, let alone say what they do,” Justice O’Connor said. “Less than one third of eighth graders can identify the historical purpose of the Declaration of Independence, and it’s right there in the name!” The cornerstone of being a civically engaged American is being one who understands the way our system of government works, understands the history that brought us to where we stand as a nation today

@TabithaBower

Civic education is the basis of a democratic government and college students should civically engage. and sees their place in a democratic governance. A civically engaged citizen understands the right of the people to determine what is good for society, to engage in creating and backing policies which seek to support overall

good and to abolish institutions that do not support the best interests of citizens. Civic understanding, across the board, from students in grade school to adult Americans, has been on the decline. Find your

average college student, and they can barely formulate an answer to what a civic education is, let alone explain how citizen engagement is beneficial to democracy. And that’s a sad reality. The problem is, civic learning in our educational

systems is severely lacking as of recently. “Even the flawed civic education of our nation in the past was better than what we have today, where civics is an afterthought in the typical public school,” Justice O’Connor said. “As a

result, most students today demonstrate a serious civics knowledge deficit.” When civics is introduced in the classroom, it is most commonly done in a dry, boring and passive manner. Modern civic learning does not teach people that civics is about who we are as citizens and how we can engage to have an impact on issues we find important. How do students, and Americans in general, engage in the democratic process if they have little or no understanding of the topic at hand? How can democracy survive without a strong understanding of civics? Eleanor Roosevelt was among the early proponents of civic education in school. In an essay she stated, “On the public school largely depends the success or the failure of our great experiment in government ‘by the people, for the people.’” A strong foundation of civic learning in public education is necessary to create a community of informed, civically engaged citizens participating in our democratic government system.

Last week I had the privilege of being involved with “Transforming America: Women and Leadership in the 21st Century,” the conference that was put on last week by the Andrus Center for Public Policy. I didn’t attend the conference as a participant, but instead helped behind the scenes by escorting the speakers from their hotel to the conference and by assisting them while they were our guests on campus. I wish that each student could have had the same opportunity that I did to interact with these fantastic women who came here to impart their wisdom. Each of the women who came here were as different as they were alike. They had diverse backgrounds and interests and could agree and disagree

on topics more numerous than I could count, but the one thing that they all shared was a desire to leave Boise State with a renewed passion for seeking equity and equality in the world that we all share. While I was working behind the scenes helping to make sure that this conference moved forward throughout the week, I got the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with some of the most fascinating women in our country today. I got to discuss the role that student government is playing on college campuses and how we can help to engage young people – women and men – in the process of government and public perception. I had the unique opportunity to have real, meaningful, personal, conversations about the things that are happening here in the United States and across the globe to women and

concerning women. We’re still not that far away from a time when our own government was concerned about Hillary Clinton’s speech in China where she declared, “human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights once and for all” Now where are we? There’s a strong possibility that Hillary Clinton will run for president, and many believe – myself included – that if she runs, she’ll win. In addition to Sandra Day O’Connor, one of the women who were in attendance was a former ambassador to Finland, who is now the first female Chair of the Board of Governors for the American Red Cross. One woman was a successful Hollywood film producer; another was an astronaut; yet another was the first woman to serve on the Idaho Supreme Court. Several were au-

thors, or commentators. These women were leaders of corporations and legislators. They were from every corner of America. All of them were women who had left indelible marks on our world and who were, slowly, trying to show us that if there was one message from this conference it should be this: Each of us are, first, human. Everything else that we are comes second. Women are our mothers and daughters and friends and co-workers and spouses. Every person should be fighting to achieve full equality for women because we’re all linked. Our fates are tied. We now know that by marginalizing women we’re ignoring half the talent and innovation that we could be harnessing. The message is simple; human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.

Boise State will have the challenge of trying to stop the triple option of the Air Force Falcons.

Broncos prepare for triple option

Volleyball finishes Wildcat Challenge Staff Writer

The Boise State women’s volleyball team went 2-1 this past weekend in Evanston, Ill. at the Wildcat Challenge to pull themselves to an even overall record of 3-3 for the 2013 season. “I think we are off to a good start, what is encouraging to me is that we continue to improve,” Boise State head volleyball coach Shawn Garus said. “From week one to week two was a completely different team. We were so much more confident and our energy level was better start to finish.” The Broncos started the tournament against Belmont University, and the ladies easily cruised through the first two sets 25-14 and 25-16. Belmont however, would not go down without a fight and this made for a very competitive third set. The Broncos were led by juniors Brittany Reardon and Taylor Murphy. Reardon had seven kills while hitting 38.5% and Murphy had a career 62.5% while adding six kills. “I definitely think I have a leadership role of some kind, a lot of times I get looked too as a person to keep the ball in play or put the ball away,” Murphy said. The Broncos had little the arbiter The Arbiter

Boise State lost their third game of the tournament to the host team Northwestern, 3-0. “We need to continue to improve at stressing the other side and that starts with our serve, try to serve a little bit tougher and set up our blocking matches a little bit better and those are what we are going to work on in practice as we prepare for our home games,”

The Broncos are officially in the win column following a 63-14 drubbing of the University of Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks in their home opener over the weekend in front of a crowd of just over 33,000. The Boise State defense forced an impressive six turnovers against Tennessee-Martin as they allowed 357 total yards of offense, yet allowed just two touchdowns. A vast improvement to the 38 points allowed against the Washington Huskies on opening weekend. The Broncos now turn their attention to the opening of Mountain West Conference play on Friday night when they host the Air Force Academy Falcons and attempt to put a stop the triple option offense. “It’s a short week,” redshirt sophomore safety Darian Thompson said. “We have to hit the ground rolling immediately.” The Falcons’ run-heavy offense and misdirection gave the Broncos fits two years ago when they es-

caped with a 37-26 win in Boise State’s second Mountain West game ever. “The problem with Air Force is they do a lot,” head coach Chris Petersen said. “Everyone thinks of those guys as just the triple option and they’re not just the triple option, but they have a lot of offense.” In their opening two games this year, the Broncos have already allowed a total of 415 rushing yards. A team that has prided itself on their defense in recent years, the Broncos will have to stay disciplined in their approach if they want to slow down the Falcons’ ground attack. “You hear the coaches say ‘just do your job’,” Thompson said. “If everyone just does their job, with the way our defense is designed, I feel like we’ll be successful.” The Broncos will be sure to focus on tackling this week after missed tackles were exploited for extra yardage time and time again against TennesseeMartin. “Tackling is huge, and I don’t just say that about this offense, I say that

Tennis is a lifetime sport, but the window to stay competitive professionally is incredibly small. For former Boise State singles and doubles star Eric Roberson, his opportunity to play professionally had all but closed. Or so he thought. Roberson, 27, and his partner Yasmin Schnack, earned a spot in the U.S. Open mixed doubles main draw after winning the 2013 U.S. Open National Playoffs Mixed Doubles Championship. The former Bronco and his teammate lost in the first round of the mixed doubles draw in straight sets 6-4, 7-6. Roberson and Schnack secured a place in the prestigious Flushing Meadows tournament by first winning the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Northern California mixed doubles tournament

championship. Schnack was ranked as high as No. 140 in doubles in the world last year, and played her college tennis at UCLA. Roberson was a 2008 graduate of Boise State, and was a member of the Broncos’ 2005 WAC title team. The pair lost in the U.S. Open National Playoffs Mixed Doubles Championship in 2011, and Roberson thought his window to stay competitive may have been closing. “Just to get into the U.S. Open is unbelievable,” Roberson said. “I never would have dreamed of having a chance to play in the U.S. Open.” Roberson attributes much of his post-collegiate tennis success to Boise State head tennis coach Greg Patton. “The influence he had on my college career was really special,” Roberson said. “He’s a great motivator and great college coach for the game of tennis.”

After college, Roberson played in low-level professional circuits for a couple of years, but the grind and cost of playing professionally is difficult to sustain for an extended period of time. “It’s really tough,” Roberson said. “It’s expensive and you can’t do it for very long, so I stopped.” Roberson briefly quit playing in professional tennis tournaments in 2012, and he now coaches in Sacramento, Calif. He now plans to continue playing doubles in Sacramento, though his singles career is all but finished. Roberson and Schnack plan to make a push for the U.S. Open again next year. “It’s every tennis player’s dream to play in the U.S. Open,” Roberson said. “I’m definitely going to keep playing a lot of doubles. Hopefully we can try to do this again this year.” After playing in the U.S. Open, the window is wide open now for Roberson.

Williams joins Bronco staff Tyler Abner Staff Writer

For the 2013-2014 season the Broncos look to experience a more successful run than last year when they made the NCAA tournament. Bringing in Isaac Williams with his vast knowledge was the first step. Williams is the new director of basketball operations after spending nine seasons

as head coach of Eastern Oregon University. Williams brought the Mountaineers to the No.1 spot in the NAIA D-II National Rankings in the 2012-2013 season and is looking to bring that same success to Boise State. “Honestly I think Boise State would experience success with or without Isaac Williams,” Williams said. “I’m just looking to bring

my knowledge to this program. EOU was involved in a very successful turnaround while I was coaching them.” The Mountaineers went a dismal 4-22 in Williams first season before winning 91 games in five years. In four years EOU went 96-32 with Williams as the head coach and developed .750 winning percentage, the best in school history.

Eric Roberson won a WAC title for Boise State in 2005.

Williams had plans to stay at EOU until he was either forced out or retired. Boise State was able to pry him away from his alma-mater. “I have honestly never applied for another job and I didn’t apply for this one,” Williams said. “Leon (Rice) had talked to me about the position when it had opened. When I came to visit I really liked the campus and the community. They got great kids; the kids on the team.” Williams felt comfortable at EOU and was able to de-

velop talented players and be around student-athletes who had a high IQ in basketball. Williams was attracted to the program because of the coaching of Boise State head coach Leon Rice. “This will be a great opportunity to learn more about coaching basketball and be able to do it in a great community,” Williams said. “They put family first and that may not seem important but it is to me.” Boise State will look to continue their success

from last season and Williams will look to help with that. Broncos open up their season Nov. 1 against Lewis-Clark State at Taco Bell Arena. “Boise State seems almost a year ahead of schedule from last year, to me anyways. I don’t think many people thought they would be as good as they were,” Williams said. “And those kids are back maybe even until they are seniors. I just think this team can do big things and make some noise this year.”

Broncos open Mountain West schedule against Air Force

Air Force Preview John Engel @EngelESPN

After a blowout win over Tennessee-Martin last week, Boise State’s opening week loss to Washington appears to be in the past. Now, the Broncos take to the skies to open their Mountain West Conference schedule against Air Force at Bronco Stadium. Boise State (1-1, 0-0 MWC) will have a short week of preparation this week, with Air Force coming to Boise on Friday for a 6 p.m. start time. The game will be Boise State’s first of three games on ESPN. Broncos’ head coach Chris Petersen and offensive coordinator Robert Prince have been experimenting with a pistol-style offense featuring redshirt season quarterback Joe Southwick and redshirt sophomore running back Jay Ajayi, but the Falcons have been perfecting their triple option system for many years. Air Force (1-1, 0-1 MWC) finished third in the Mountain West in total yards last season with 5,445, nearly 400 yards more than fifth ranked Boise State (5,087 yards). The Falcons struggled in their only Mountain West matchup, to date, against Utah State, in which the Aggies held them to 162 yards. Petersen and the Boise State defense will be faced with the task of limiting Air Force’s dual threat quarterback, Jaleel Awini, who is the main component of their triple option attack. “We’ll watch a ton of film; we’ll watch what they’ve done this year,” Petersen said. “We’ll watch what they’ve done against us. There’s a lot there and it’s hard to get a lot of practice reps to get good at any one offense or scheme they’re going to run.” The Boise State secondary will experience the biggest change between weeks when defending the triple option, because the amount of fo-

cus they have to pay to pass defense is limited by the intense amount of rushing. Sophomore safety Darian Thompson will shift his eyes from the receivers to the backfield in order to defend Air Force’s triple option. “The big thing about the triple option is you have to have good eyes,” Thompson said. “That’s what the coaches are harping on now and that’s what we’re working on.” Boise State limited TennesseeMartin to 152 rushing yards in their week two matchup. Along with Awini is Air Force sophomore running back Jon Lee, who is currently second in the Mountain West for yards per carry with 8.3. Wyoming quarterback Brett Smith leads the conference with 11.1 yards per carry. Lee is also tied for third in the conference in rushing touchdowns with two. Air Force uses the speed of both Awini and Lee to spread the field and add speed off the edge of the tackle box. “They just put guys in and they put them on the edge, in space, and crack you and cut you,” Petersen said. “All similar to the kind of guys we’ve had, where you just put them in and you go.” Despite being suspended for the third time since joining the Broncos as a redshirt sophomore transfer last year, defensive lineman Demarcus Lawrence will suit up for Boise State Friday night. Coach Petersen is keeping the issue internal, and says Lawrence was suspended for one game for violating team rules. Boise State has faced two balanced offensive attacks in their first two games against Washington and Tennessee-Martin, but will now get their first taste of the triple option with Air Force. The Broncos hope their Mountain West championship dreams don’t get shot down in their first conference matchup of the season.

he redshirt senior is a deep-ball threat for the Broncos every time he steps on the field. Redshirt senior quarterback Joe Southwick connected with Burks for a deep touchdown on Saturday against TennesseeMartin, opening up the floodgates for the Broncos offense as they hung 63 points on the Skyhawks. Burks hauled in 17 balls for 319 yards in 2012 and looks to be a hot hand for the Broncos passing game.

he redshirt sophomore has proved to be a major challenge for defenses to stop this year. At 6-0, 220 pounds, Ajayi is a combination of power and speed resembling former Bronco running back and Pro-Bowler, Doug Martin. Ajayi is averaging 4.6 yards a carry in 2013 and two touchdowns. Ajayi’s explosiveness will be important for the Broncos to get in a rhythm to open up the passing game.

he redshirt junior cornerback has overcome a lot of obstacles in the last year. He suffered a season ending injury in 2012 against Wyoming after starting all three of the Broncos games that year. Douglas has stormed back in 2013, as he hauled in two interceptions against the TennesseeMartin Skyhawks last Saturday, returning one of them for a touchdown. Douglas has made an immediate impact in the Broncos secondary this year and will be vital to their success.

What we think Michael Steen @MichaelSteen2

In one of my most anticipated matchups of the year, the Broncos will take on the Air Force Academy Falcons this Friday night on ESPN in Bronco Stadium. Two years ago, the Falcons gave Boise State everything they could handle, and then some. The Broncos escaped with a 37-26 victory, but it felt like they were barely holding on to a one-possession win. The Air Force triple option is one of the most mesmerizing and lethal offenses out there. Sure, they didn’t have great success against Utah State last week, but they also dropped about seven deep balls, a couple of which probably would have gone for touchdowns. TheArbiter Arbiter The

Coach Pete said in his Monday press conference this week that Air Force does a lot more than the triple option and they have a lot of offense to deal with. No kidding. The thing about the academy teams is they are disciplined. Probably more disciplined than Alabama and Ohio State out there. They stay calm under pressure and don’t make a whole lot of mistakes. They lull you to sleep on the consistent ground game play after play, and boom, hit you over the top on the deep ball quicker than you can say “Blue Turf.” The Boise State offense took a huge step over the weekend, connecting on several deep passes against Tenessee-Martin, and gaining a lot of confidence moving forward. They will have a lot

of pressure on them on Friday night, as they will be forced to take advantage of their possessions. The Air Force offense sustains a lot of long drives and keeps the opposing offense on the sideline. This will force the Bronco offense to execute each time they have to ball and limit their mistakes. If the Boise State offense is able to get into a rhythm on Friday night, they shouldn’t have a problem putting up points on the Air Force defensive squad. The key will be slowing down a mobile quarterback and a tandem of running backs the Falcons will throw at the Broncos all night. Boise State should be able to get out of Bronco Stadium with their first conference win of the year, but I expect Air Force to keep it close.

Broam hart

Joey Nichol

Jon Lee

The junior running back is the other running back in this Air Force tandem back system. Hart has 125 yards on 25 carries for the Falcons this year, while adding on two touchdowns himself. Hart appeared in 12 games for the Falcons in 2012, rushing for 100 yards on 18 carries and one touchdown. Hart has taken on a larger role for the Falcons this year, and the quick substitutions of him and junior running back Jon Lee could give the Broncos fits like in 2011.

The junior linebacker has slowly, but surely, become a force to be reckoned with for the Falcons defense. The team’s leading tackler in 2013 so far, Nichol has accumulated 20 tackles in two games, 13 of those tackles being solo tackles. As a sophomore in 2012, Nichol totaled 12 tackles in 11 games played for the Falcons. In his first career start against the San Diego State Aztecs, he posted seven tackles and a fumble recovery. The Broncos will have to be aware of Nichol in the running game and throwing across the middle.

The junior running back has been a featured back for the Falcons triple option system since 2011. He played all 12 games and started in two in 2012, going for 545 yards and four touchdowns on the year. Now in 2013, the junior has already totaled 149 yards on 18 carries and has tacked on two touchdowns. Lee is averaging an incredible 8.3 yards this year. The Broncos will have to corral Lee if they want to avoid another big day on the ground.
