Covert surveillance
Mallory Barker Tabitha Bower
About
18-26. Phillips’ 2007-2009 research shows that 87 percent of college students have engaged in at least one, if not all three, of the surveillance factors, which she has titled Social Networks used for Prying Electronically (SNUPE). “The newest edition of that (with data taken between 2011 and 2012) is saying it is closer now to 94 percent,” Phillips said.
“What that means, essentially, is it is considered a normative behavior. We don’t worry about it because everyone else is doing it, so it doesn’t make me crazy because everybody does it.” SNUPE, as coined by Phillips, discusses three main factors with regard to invasion of privacy through social networking: Covert surveillance, obsessive surveillance and problematic surveillance. Covert surveillance is where a social media user lurks quietly on other people’s profiles or pages without leaving evidence of their lurking (no commenting or liking). “You are aware of what the other person is engag-
ing in without letting them know you’ve been on their site,” Phillips said. Aaron Elfering, a senior majoring in computer science, admitted to participating in this practice. “It’s not something we’re proud of, but it’s human nature,” Elfering said. “There’s no real societal rule for how things like Facebook, social media and texting should be handled. We’re still kind of hammering out rules for what’s acceptable and what’s not, what’s creepy and what’s not.” People who partake in obsessive surveillance not only make frequent visits to specific profiles, but also leave their mark.
“These are the people who do sort of, I call it, marking their territory electronically,” Phillips said. Problematic surveillance is, as its name suggests, the most problematic and is characterized by interactions within cyber-space affecting faceto-face interactions. “This is where your online activities sort of bleed into your offline relationship,” Phillips said. “It causes real time or real space problems, conflict.” Elfering said he isn’t worried about people invading his privacy. “I’m smart enough to realize you shouldn’t put anything on Facebook or
the Internet that I don’t want other people to see,” Elfering said. Phillips went on to advise students to be aware of their own lurking tendencies, especially those that fall into any of the three categories of SNUPE. “If you engage in specific lurking behavior, this is what sort of crosses the line between we’re friends and I’m annoying,” Phillips said. “If you’re gearing toward cyber stalking, if you’re doing a lot of activity on their Twitter, their Facebook, and they don’t know about it, that’s where it starts to cross the line from appropriate to inappropriate behavior.” Design Megan Nanna/THE ARBITER
Students say GOP in need of makeover @RyanThorne86
After losing two consecutive presidential elections, members of the Republican Party have began to scrutinize traditional Grand Old Party (GOP) ideologies and leadership. Rifts between old guard Republicans like Lindsey Graham and newcomers like Marco Rubio have grown, causing political infighting within the party. “Personally, I think Republicans have to give up a little bit on some social issues if they want a shot at the White House,” said Adam Weber, president of the Boise State University College Republicans (BSU CR). According to Weber, the GOP’s focus on social issues like abortion and gay marriage have hurt the party’s image with voters. As a libertarian Republican, Weber feels the federal government should not get involved in issues that aren’t specifically outlined by the
constitution. “We noticed Obama came out in support of gay marriage; I think it was more political than anything,” Weber said. “He says he believes in it in now, but who knows? It was a strategy he used, giving up some of his social beliefs to win the White House.” Weber thinks the Republican Party should focus their message more on fiscal responsibility for the federal government and let states decide on specific social legislation. He hopes disagreements within the party will not divide and weaken the GOP’s political backing for the upcoming senate and presidential elections. “I think it is inevitable that we are going to get to that point and I don’t know how bad it is going to be,” Weber said. Junior history major Amanda Gilmore said Republican hard-line stances against abortion initially attracted her to the party, but extreme right wing ideology
about women’s basic reproduction rights should be changed within the GOP. “Birth control should probably not be that big of a deal anymore,” Gilmore said. “I feel like that isn’t even a big concern on a national scale and there are other topics that are more important.” Over the last couple of presidential elections, Gilmore thinks Republicans spent too much energy mud-slinging their Democratic opponents and should have focused on offering more tangible solutions. “They especially attack the Democrats and they need to step back and create more policy that is well rounded,” Gilmore said. As far as Republican energy policies is concerned, former BSUCR President Domenic Gelsomino thinks the GOP should pursue energy independence while encouraging a practical, gradual shift toward renewable power. “We should cut all dependence on middle eastern oil. It’s time we use American
oil and American energy like hydro power,” Gelsomino said. Gelsomino thinks transition to renewable energy sources on a large scale should be a gradual one that fits the needs of American citizens. “We understand the con-
cerns with environmental problems,” Gelsomino said. “But should we halt progress as a result?” With Republicans striving to find leadership for the 2016 presidential campaign, Gelsomino thinks the current divisions between GOP members will produce new
candidates with reformed ideas. “Marco Rubio would be great for immigration reform and bring a fresh perspective to the White House. There are a number of candidates and each brings a different perspective and skill set to the table,” Gelsomino said.

Transportation sends out a courtesy email prior to any event on campus that may impact parking availability.
Students discuss parking “ @Danibananii
Boise State University Transportation and Parking Services has had the difficult task of keeping up with record enrollment numbers over the last several years. In fall 2012, over 22,000 students were enrolled at Boise State. That number is expected to grow when the fall 2013 numbers are released. JC Porter, the assistant director of Transportation and Parking services, said Boise State has not added any new parking spaces in the past year, keeping the total number of spaces
at 7, 851. Jamie Broten, a senior elementary education major, has felt the frustration of trying to park on campus. “It’s always been terrible! General Parking never has enough,” Broten said. “You spend $100 to drive around for an hour trying to find a parking spot, most of the time really far away.” Many feel this frustration, and some have taken to spending hundreds of dollars more for guaranteed parking. The most popular permit is the Brady Street Garage. With a $320 per-year fee, students are guaranteed parking in the
structure for the year, including summer. However, the garage is also used for parking for events that take place at the Morrison Center, which creates a hassle for students trying to get to class. Parking does send out emails to students, faculty and staff alerting them of parking issues that may arise in these events, but guarantees parking to reserved permits only. Mia Russell, a graduate student studying applied historical research, uses the parking lot adjacent to the University Church and has found it to be a great compromise of location and budget.
“I paid 115 dollars for the semester. They said next semester is the last one before (the lot) gets torn down,” Russell said. Porter said that the University as acquired the lot adjacent to the University Church and plans to tear down the building to alleviate some of the parking hassles, but construction isn’t expected to start until sometime in 2014. Transportation encourages students to check their BroncoMail if an event on campus is coming up; students should leave earlier so time isn’t an issue. If needed, park in a me-

tered spot. Most accept payments with a credit card and allow parking for two hours. While it’s frustrating to drive around in circles looking for parking spots, don’t get angry with the ticketing officers. Transportation and Parking Services also offers free Valley Regional Transit (VRT) for Boise State students and a free campus shuttle.

Football money is put to use Ticket revenue from ticket sales is used for athletic scholarships, salaries and other related expenses Cher Wada Koenig @Wadapatch
With football season upon us, it’s easy to wonder where all the money from ticket sales goes and how much money goes to the football team and how much goes to other athletic programs around campus. In a Q&A session via email, Max Corbet, associate athletic director/communications, answered some questions about where Boise State’s foot-

Q: Where do the Q: What is Boise largest sources of revState’s football team’s es- enue come from? timated annual revenue from all sources?

sorships.
Q:
How is this revenue disbursed around campus?
A:
The breakdown
ranges from salaries for coaches, scholarships for student-athletes, recruiting expenses, operating expenses and capital projects. A capital project would be the new Bleymaier Football Complex, the Stueckle Sky Center, those types of projects. The amount in 2011-12 we spent on scholarships for all our athletic teams was $3.4 million. Student-athletes can inquire about information regarding scholarships from the coaches in their respec-
tive sports. The allocation of those funds is bringing Boise State some much needed notoriety. Alicia Jessop with “Forbes” magazine published an article last week based off the 201112 State Board of Education’s data, ranking the top 25 football teams’ revenues and expenses. Boise State made the cut, listing at number 19 with $8,537,612 total football expenses versus a whopping $15,345,308 in total football revenue.
The actual appropriated funds can be found in the graphic below from the State Board of Education’s Budget Distribution by Activity and Expense Class dated July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014 for Boise State posted on the State Board of Education’s Website. These numbers do not reflect all expenses but does show how the university’s budget for athletics compares to many other programs.

Students called Campus Security for assistance when they witness a dog hit by a white SUV.
Dog hit by car on campus Students contacted local authorities for help with injured dog Cher Wada Koenig @Wadapatch
Two dogs were reported running loose on University Drive at about 8:15 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 13 near the corner of University Drive and Lincoln Avenue. Amelia Towne, a senior communication major, reported seeing a white SUV slowing down and appearing concerned about the loose dogs but ended up stopping on one of the dog’s paws. Towne was accompanied by another student
who only wanted to be referred to by his first name, Tyler, a sophomore civil engineering major. “The dog was yelping and screaming, so I took off into the street to get the guy to back up and he was trying to figure out what to do,” Tyler said. “So instead of backing up he rolled completely over the dog’s foot and then took off. I was trying to get to the dog and get it out of the street for other cars so I didn’t get his license plate or anything.” Both students reported
the vehicle to be a small white SUV being driven by a middle aged white male. “The car finally moved and the dog got free and was limping away so I ran to the dog and grabbed the dog by the collar and tried to find a number to call, but all he had was a city tag and a number for the city,” Towne said. After calling the city number on the dog’s tag, the students were given the phone number for the owner, but calls kept going straight to voice mail. “So I stayed with the
dog and Tyler ran across the street to get campus security involved, since it happened on campus,” Towne said. Tyler went to get help in the transportation office. “The guy I spoke to in there was apparently a dog lover too because he called security right away,” Tyler said. Both students reported waiting between 30 to 40 minutes for help to arrive. When campus security didn’t show up, Towne finally decided to call the police.
Brenda Allen speaks on diversity Mallory Barker @Mal_a_gal
Author Brenda J. Allen will headline three days of cross-campus workshops. The goal of the three days will be to discuss why “Difference Matters,” in institutions of higher education. The full three-day event, “Difference Matters: A 3-Day Event Focused on Dialogues that Encourage
Improving Higher Education in Impactful Ways for Everyone,” will include workshops and discussions with the conclusion of a keynote address in the Student Union Building. The event is being hosted by the Faculty Senate Diversity Committee and the Cultural and Ethnic Diversity Board. Allen is the associate vice chancellor for diversity and inclusion at the
SCORE
University of Colorado. She also wrote the Book “Difference Matters: Communicating Social Identity” in 2011. In her book, she seeks to explore and discuss why difference matters in higher education. She will carry her idea from the book to her conference at Boise State. Dora Ramirez-Dhoore, coordinator of the event, expressed her gratitude to-
wards the event. “Dr. Allen’s visit will show how we not only care about ‘difference’ in various ways, but how we can proactively coordinate our efforts as a campus community to support one another as we seek to engage practices and policies that reflect our commitment to a metropolitan university,” Ramirez-Dhoor said. Allen will use her ex-
“We were running out of time to get to class and we couldn’t just stand out there with the dog,” Towne said. When the Boise Police Department showed up they attempted to reach the owner as well, but had no luck. Campus security is reported to have shown up shortly after the police arrived. Boise Police and campus security took the dog into their custody approximately an hour after the accident took place. Campus security was
contacted for a response to this article. Rick Rogers, a civilian employee who answers the phones for campus security/Boise police, refused to give an official quote but mentioned that campus security had indicated the dog to be in OK health and that there was no need to pursue this case.

periences as a teacher and published scholar to challenge policy and administration in higher education. Members of the Faculty Senate Diversity Committee hope to inspire dialogue and development for Boise State. Ramirez-Dhoore explained how the workshops and address will work to educate students and staff. “This event will revive a discussion around diversity goals and offer a variety of opportunities to discuss difference in relation
to students, faculty, and staff,” Ramirez-Dhoore said. All events are free though some require RSVP or invitation. Workshops are all full, but Ramirez-Dhoor encourages students and staff to attend the keynote address. Allen’s keynote address will be held on Wednesday Sept. 18 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Student Union Hatch Ballroom. Students do not need to register to attend this event.

Tucked away behind downtown Boise, the North End holds many hidden gems, one of which is the Hyde Park Street Fair. Every September since 1979 this tight knit community has celebrated with the Hyde Park Street Fair to show others in surrounding communities what they have to offer. Located along the foothills of Camel’s Back Park, this large event offers a wide variety of entertainment from food vendors to handmade décor items to live entertainment all day. This one of a kind street fair originally started on 13 street to promote the merchants in Hyde Park. Over the years this “hippie fest” grew too big for the small streets of Hyde Park and was then moved to Camel’s Back Park where it has since added even more vendors and multiple stages for live music. Bands such as The David Andrews Band, Calico and Matt Harper & the Roman Candles performed on the main stage. There were also a variety of other performers on the smaller community stage. There were around 115 vendors selling items such as paintings, jewelry, clothing, and handmade crafts, and offering services such as fortune telling and opportunities to get involved with non-profit organizations, event goers were

Even the children had entertainment with the bounce houses, slides, face painting and lots of sweet treats like cotton candy and homemade ice cream from Goody’s, a local Hyde Park favorite. It was also a dog friendly event. Along with the merchant vendors there were also 13 food vendors such as Pie Hole, Kanak Attack, Zorba’s Greek Food and many more delicious options. To top it off there were two beer and wine gardens to add a little pizazz to the
experience. To work off the massive foot-long corn dogs and all of the funnel cakes being eaten, there’s always the option of running up the extremely large sand hill path to the top of the lookout. “It is the most relaxed festival that anyone is ever going to go to,” said Carl Scheider, who was this year’s event coordinator. “We are the peace and love type.” This festival gives off the open arms feeling where everyone is invited to become part of this unique community for at least one

iting professors. It is held biennially because most professors are busy shipping their work to galleries all over the world. Professors are allowed to select up to three of their works to display in the Visual Arts Collective which has two galleries, one on the first
weekend every September. This event not only is a blast but it also raises money for the North End Neighborhood Association (NENA). In the past, they have donated $10,000 grants to the Idaho Land Trust to help buy property in Harrison Hollow. They also have helped local schools with grants and provide funding for community projects within the Hyde Park area. “The Hyde Park Street Fair was such a fun way to get to see the community and what it’s all about; I floor of the Liberal Arts Building and one inside the Hemingway Center. The Visual Arts Collective is responsible for displaying regional, national, and international exhibits through the academic calendar year. From worldrenowned artists as well as local faculty, the Visual Arts Collective is a part of Boise State that offers the ability for students to experience a variety of art. Under the curation and organization of the Gallery Director of the Visual Arts Collective and Boise State lecturer, Kristen Furlong, the importance of displaying the faculty work to students is brought to light. “I think it’s really important to show faculty work, even if you’ve taken several classes with a professor you may not be familiar with their work,” Furlong said. Rachel Street, junior illustration major echoed this sentiment. “It’s really great to have the opportunity to see what my professors have been doing outside the class-

Students enrolled in the Bachelors of Fine Arts (BFA) program see these professors in the classroom day in and day out, but most of the time don’t have the opportunity to connect with their work in a visual sense. Instruction is different by each professor, some electing to stick to the curriculum rather than discuss their own work, and vice-versa. Alex Wonder, senior drawing and painting major has been a part of the BFA program for the last four years. “While we interact with some of our faculty’s work, we don’t always get to see it a lot,” Wonder said. Both Wonder and Street spoke of the connection between the faculty and students of the BFA program as being influential to their artwork. “The way they are thinking about their art affects the way they teach us (students) about our art,” Wonder said.
Danielle Davidson is currently studying abroad in Seoul, South Korea. This is her first hand experience with living abroad. Before I came to Korea, communication through language was something I took for granted, but now that it’s gone, I’m like a fish out of water. The first few times I ordered food was like entering the lottery. The menu has to be deciphered and then a choice has to be made based off prior knowledge of Korean food. There are moments when I order and then think: “I guess I’ll see what it looks like when it gets here”. There was one instance where I mistakenly ordered soup with an octopus in it (I’m not a huge seafood fan), but I made do and even tried a piece! Restaurants aren’t the only place where communication is needed, but at the store, the pharmacy and pretty much anywhere outside in general. But since I have no clue what’s being said to me 90 percent of the time, I just walk up and down the aisles looking. For the most part the employees don’t try to approach me and ask if I need help, because, well, I’m a foreigner and don’t speak Korean. However, I did have a good experience at a TonyMoly store where one of the saleswomen walked up to me. When she saw me pick up a compact powder and study it, she picked a different one up and showed it to me. She said something in Korean to me, and I gave her a ‘deer-in-theheadlights’ look. But, with a few words here and there, hand gestures and facial expressions, the language barrier was conquered! Enthusiasm exuded from her and she seemed to be having fun. Even though language is a wonderful thing, it isn’t necessary for survival. I’m taking Korean language courses! For two hours, five days a week, I’m studying the language, and even though it’s hard, it’s rewarding.
One of the decisions of ybetter our week.

sential cult classic, filled with comedic asides and cheesy 80’s comedy that is too darn adorable to not enjoy. “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off ” depicts the most refined high school stick-it-to-the-man flick since “The Breakfast Club.” Full of wise crack remakes and randomly necessary musical montages, this film makes for the perfect kick back with friends.
“Fat guy little coat... fat guy little coat!” If this line has any comedic value to anyone whatsoever, then it’s safe to say that the 90’s was a golden era of comedy. “Saturday Night Live” legends Chris Farley and David Spade make up this raucous cast, and with a story that is one pit stop of hilarity after another. Stay away from drinking carbonated beverages while watching this film.
Zoolander
A pissed off Adam Sandler plays a former hockey playing dilettante turned golf pro who may or may not get in a fist fight with Bob Barker from the “Price is Right.” If that last sentence didn’t catch the intrigue of readers, then ‘afraid I am all out of allure and wit. “Happy Gilmore” proves to be one of Adam Sandler’s very best films even to his very worst of critics.
Tommy Boy
Happy Gilmore
Dumb and Dumber
beautifully emphasizes the idea that idiocy can make for comedic gold. “Dumb and Dumber” is one of the early films of comedy legend Jim Carrey. It brings to light his wonderfully ridiculous persona in this one-liner hailstorm of silly fun having. To all cynical life hating folks out there, watch this film, and have a little fun.

This 90’s slapstick classic
5 Star Comedy Edition
This film is about washed up male models who happen to be trained covert assassins, lead by the egomaniacal Will Ferrell. Their soul purpose is to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia. If you have no idea what’s going on, that’s OK. You are in the right frame of mind to watch this peach of a Ben Stiller comedy. Prepare to lose a few brain cells during this film, whether that’s because of its content or the alcohol you are consuming during it.
All Time Low returns to captivate Boise
All Time Low brings Boise off their feet.
Friday the 13 wasn’t all that unlucky for those who decided to go see All Time Low and The Wonder Years at The Knitting Factory. The pop punk bands wowed the crowds with their long sets, playing many fan favorites. The show started off with the eager crowd chanting “THE WONDER YEARS” over and over until the lights dropped down, and the band emerged. There was no need to warm up this crowd, though. Immediately there was moshing, dancing and crowd surfing. At the end of their set, the lead singer walked up to the barricade and sang directly to his fans who were screaming his lyrics back at him. “I don’t know All Time Low that well but they put on an amazing show. But The Wonder Years had the best live performance I’ve ever seen; their set was amazing and soupy, their singer really put a lot of emotion into it! By far my favorite band,” said freshman psychology major, Tanner Cliff. By the time it was All Time Low’s turn to take the stage, the crowd was more than ready. They started off the show with a song off of their new album and went right into one of their older hits afterwards. The band, taking a break from “The House Party“ tour with Pierce the Veil

I thought the show was a blast. There was so much energy from the crowd and All Time Low. Everyone I was with had a lot of fun enjoying the music. —Bethany El Bakri
and A Day To Remember has been playing shorter sets as of late with so many bands being on one ticket. Not this night, though. Alex Gaskarth, All Time Low frontman made sure the crowd knew what they were in for. “You guys. We are playing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...16 songs for you tonight!” The crowd cheered. Usually, with this long of a set, the crowd gets worn out. This crowd, however, had other ideas. “This is why we keep coming back to Boise, you guys! Because you guys go nuts!” yelled guitarist for All Time Low, Jack Barakat. In the middle of the set, the band left the stage with the exception of Gaskarth and his acoustic guitar. He played “Remembering Sunday” and “Thera-
py” with the entire crowd hanging on his every note. By the end, there were some teary eyes and big smiles. After the band came back and played their last few songs. During their song “Time Bomb” they brought out a guest singer, Jake Haley from local Boise band My Young Dreamer. After all that excitement, the band played a cover of Yellowcard’s famous song “Ocean Avenue” after pulling a kid out of a crowd who was wearing a Yellowcard shirt. Bethany El Bakri, a junior respiratory therapy major said, “I thought the show was a blast. There was so much energy from the crowd and All Time Low. Everyone I was with had a lot of fun enjoying the music.”

Color Schemes For the better part of the millennium, the Boise State fan base has embraced the color scheme trend. Whether it is a tri-color, alternating sections blackouts, or the classic orange-out, Bronco fans come out in full support. Boise State unveiled the first orange-out in 2002, but it wasn’t until 2008 that the more creative ideas really began to take off. Getting the fans involved has always been a major point of emphasis for the Boise State marketing team, and recent years show the color schemes do just that. “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,” Assistant Athletic Director of Marketing and Promotions Matt Beckman said. “It’s been very successful and we look to incorporate Bronco Nation even more as we move forward.” The Broncos have consistently built on to the stadium since joining Division I, and have had only one game with attendance under 30,000 since head coach Chris Petersen took over the program, which was his opening game in 2007 against Sacramento State. With Boise State’s uniform combinations growing each year, it’s safe to say the color schemes will continue to evolve in creativity and excitement.

Tailgating The anticipation for Bronco football is sometimes too much for one to handle. The pre-game routines for many football fans have become a ritual and a staple for Boise State football. A tailgating hotspot was located in the grassy area behind the north end zone for years and has now been replaced by the stateof-the-art Gene Bleymaier Football Complex. The football complex hasn’t stopped the Bronco faithful however, as the tailgating scene has only grown in popularity and appeal. Tailgates can be found all along University Drive. From the administration street parking lot and wrapping all the way to Broadway, some kind of tailgate party is easy to come by. While tailgates are located everywhere along University Drive, the hotspot is still the parking lot right outside Bronco Stadium. Whether it’s the larger sponsored parties next to the entrances, or the countless individual setups throughout the lot, fans are sure to find good food, drinks and company. The new alcohol policy for tailgating (set for the 2013 season) has given Boise State fans a lot more freedom this year and the Bronco faithful love it. Tailgating is a football past time and Boise State does it just as well as any school out there, whether it’s pre-game, halftime or postgame.

Post Game
The Boise State Broncos have developed a legacy of performing strongly and efficiently when on the Blue Turf. Under the tutelage of head coach Petersen, Boise State has become one of the most feared teams to play on the road, and for good reason. The Broncos are now 148-22 since 2000 for a winning percentage of .870, and are the highest scoring team in the country in that span, averaging 40.83 points per game. Boise State also holds the best home winning percentage since 2000 with a record of 80-4, beating out the likes of Oklahoma, Ohio State and Louisiana State. Lyle Smith Field is undoubtably an asset for the Broncos with the Blue Turf and all-blue jersey combinations causing confusion for opposing teams. The first blue Astroturf in the country was installed in Bronco Stadium in 1986 and was replaced twice in 1995 and 2002. Now, the Broncos play on the first blue field turf, which was installed in 2008. The field was then replaced in 2010 with new turf. There have been a total of five different blue fields in Bronco Stadium to date. Bronco Stadium was first built in the summer of 1970 with a seating capacity of 14,500. The stadium has since expanded four separate times and holds a total of 36,387 at full capacity.
Boise State’s long history of winning has left Bronco fans smiling after the final horn sounds on most occasions. Following the game, tailgating continues and local restaurants and bars are filled with celebrating fans. With the City of Boise’s newest ordinance, fans can now tailgate with alcoholic beverages inside the new 10-to-10 tailgating zone during home games. Fans can now drink alcohol in opaque plastic cups in an expanded zone which was once limited to the Bronco Stadium parking lot. Fans 21 and older can now drink in the zone, which extends to Julia Davis Park, without the risk of receiving an open container ticket, allowing people to relax and little more and take it easy during their post-game activities. The new city ordinance allows the party to last from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. for Broncos fans and will be monitored by Boise police officers, as the plan is still being worked on. The experience before and during the game is always electric, but Bronco fans have always been on board for keeping the celebrating going into the night. With new changes to alcohol consumption and tailgate areas, that tradition won’t be stopping anytime soon. Design Megan Nanna/THE ARBITER

Jay Ajayi’s four touchdown runs brings his season total to six, two more than his entire 2012 season total.
Ajayi runs into the spotlight Brandon Walton Staff Writer
We all know that Gatorade keeps you hydrated and improves your performance, but pickle juice? When Boise State sophomore running back Jay Ajayi was caught on cameras by ESPN drinking a big jar of pickle juice on the sidelines during Friday night’s showdown with Air Force it instantly became the talk of the game. “One of my teammates was like you should try some pickle juice,” Ajayi said. “It was just for cramps; just to make sure I don’t cramp up and stuff.” Perhaps the pickle juice had more of an impact then he thought as Ajayi had a career high game for the Broncos. He ran the ball 17 times for 125 yards and four touchdowns. To put this into perspective, Ajayi only had four rushing touchdowns all of last season for Boise State and he matched that in just one game for the Broncos. “It was amazing I definitely want to thank my lineman. They were blocking their tails off all

night long and the holes were there. I just wanted to take advantage of every opportunity I got.” Ajayi said. The touchdown runs Ajayi had were from 20, 35, 9, and 2 yards. His first score came in the second quarter when the Broncos were down 10 to 7. When he got the carry he ran up the sideline. He was able to keep his balance and tiptoed into the end zone to give Boise State their first lead of the game. His next touchdown run came in the third quarter, as Ajayi broke down the sideline to put the Broncos ahead, 28-17. The next two touchdowns would come in the fourth quarter, from nine yards out and two yards to help the Broncos to their first conference win of the season. However, Ajayi did have a few struggles in the game. In the third quarter when the Broncos were driving he fumbled the ball near the goal line. A teammate was able to jump on it. Just a few plays later, Ajayi would fumble yet
again. This time Air Force recovered the fumble to stop the drive. “Those fumbles were unacceptable but at the same it was a learning experience too,” Ajayi said. “It was a mental thing where I had to have a short term memory and bounce back.” Ajayi bounced back in a big way as he
went on to rush for three touchdowns after incurring those fumbles. Ajayi’s breakout performance makes him a standout to watch for the Broncos offense and in the Mountain West. The

Over the last year, there has been a drastic transition in talent in Boise State athletics. Since the early 2000s, Boise State has been known for its high-flying, high-scoring, trick-play-executing football team, and for the Blue Turf for even longer. Now, Kellen Moore is gone, Boise State football hasn’t had an undefeated season since 2010, and the Broncos are slipping into the mold as just another mid-major football program. At the same time, Boise State basketball, lead by four-year head coach Leon Rice, has risen to an NCAA Tournament contender. Two years from now, history may repeat itself and Boise State basketball will once again be 10 scholarships away from being a student club team. Boise State football rose to power with the recruiting classes of 2006 and 2007, which finished with dozens of NFL prospects like Moore, George Illoka, Jeron Johnson, Billy Winn, Titus Young and Austin Pettis, to name a few. Boise State was anchored by a core of professional football players which demoralized Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference opponents. Boise State basketball is in a similar situation. The program had been in a lull since Coby Karl, Reggie Larry and company faced third seeded Louisville in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament until last season, when the Broncos played in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against La Salle. Junior forward Anthony Drmic, senior guard Jeff Elorriaga, junior guard Igor Hadziomerovic and senior forward Ryan Watkins are all entering their third season as a collective group. Their play — Boise State had 21 wins last season — as a whole has positioned the Broncos as one of the most talented teams in the competitive Mountain West. Once this group graduates in two years, Boise State will be left completely stripped, with only the speedy Mikey Thompson at guard returning as a contributor from their NCAA Tournament performance in 2013. Dominance by a midmajor school is not sustainable, and Bronco Nation will find out soon that Fiesta Bowls and NCAA Tournament bids are not going to be annual events for the Broncos.

Broncos soar past Air Force Boise State opened up MWC play with a 42-20 win over Air Force one ending in a turnover. Ajayi bounced back however, scoring three of his four touchdowns after the fumble. “We always have to have great ball security,” Ajayi said. “That’s something I learned tonight.” Stopping the Air Force triple option offense was a point of emphasis for the Bronco defense entering the week. After allowing 192-yards and 17 points in the first half, the Broncos shut down the Falcon offense in the second half, holding them to just 95-yards and three points. “The first half we just kind of felt them out,”

Under head coach Chris Petersen, the Broncos have gone an incredible 86-9 since 2006, including 5-2 in bowl games, with two Bowl Championship Series (BCS) victories in 2007 and 2010. The success Boise State has had should make fans worry more than ever about Chris Petersen leaving the Treasure Valley, and they shouldn’t be surprised if he does. Here are three reasons Chris Petersen could be leaving Boise State sooner than the Bronco faithful think. 1. The disintegration of the BCS Boise State has been one of the more dominant BCS busting schools in the last decade. With the BCS coming to a close in 2013, Boise State could be on the outside looking in for good. Moving on to a power conference school could be Petersen’s way to continue competing for bigger championships. 2. Boise State not going undefeated recently Former Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore became the winningest quarterback in NCAA history, going an unprecedented 50-3, losing the three games by a combined five points. Since losing Moore, along with a myriad of current NFL players, Boise State went 11-2 in 2012, and have already picked up a 32-point loss this season: their worst since 2005. With Boise State being wrongly viewed as an average squad in the last couple of years, Petersen could be at risk of being seen as a “flash in the pan.” A Mountain West Conference title and potentially a one loss BCS appearance could erase all doubt of that notion. 3. A bi-polar fan base For a school that finished in the top 25 in every year except one under Petersen, you would think the fan base would be more realistic about the pressures of Division I college football. The attendance for Boise State’s 2013 home opener, was just 33,293, more than 4,000 shy of a sellout. The game was accompanied by a chorus of “boos” due to the Broncos not running up the score, while up 63-7. A fan base that might be too spoiled for it’s own good could find themselves chasing Petersen away. Whether Petersen leaves in one year, 20 years, or never, he has done more for Bronco football than anyone ever imagined.

puts the Broncos into a tie for first with Utah State in the West division of the Mountain West Conference and moves them to 2-1 on the year after an opening loss to the Washington Huskies. “That’s our whole mission in life, to improve,” Petersen said. “We don’t care if it’s on offense, kicking game, linebacker play or whatever.” The Broncos will now go on the road to Fresno State next week as they add another chapter to their storied rivalry against the Bulldogs on Friday night at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Redshirt senior defensive tackle Ricky Tjong-ATjoe said. “At halftime we made some adjustments and the crowd was going so that made a big difference.” After giving up 408 yards of offense to the Falcons two years ago, the 287-yards allowed this year was a vast improvement. “We just swarmed to the ball as a group and as a whole,” freshman linebacker Ben Weaver said. “Everyone did their assignments and ended up getting some 3-and-outs and making some plays.” The win over Air Force
Women’s golf opens 2013 season Brandon Walton Staff Writer
Last season the Boise State women’s golf team had one of their most successful seasons to date. The Broncos finished second at the Mountain West Championships by tying a school record for a three round tournament. 2012 was the the Broncos best season in almost 20 years and their second best showing in school history at a conference tournament. After the success they experienced in their 2012 season, the bar is set high for the Broncos in 2013. Even though they lost several good players from the 2012 team, they are expected to be among the top once again led by a trio of sophomores that turned in quite the performances as freshmen.
The trio is led by sophomore Samantha Martin who at last season’s Mountain West Championships, had her first top10 finish to go along with six top 25 finishes for the year. That is tied for seventh best in school history. She also has a scoring average of 76.65, which ranks sixth best in school history. McKenzie Ford who placed 11 at the Mountain West Championships last April. Ford will look to continue her momentum she had at the end of last season for the Broncos. To round out the trio, is sophomore Sammie Pless. Pless finished tied for 24 at the championships as a freshman and had five top 25 finishes for the Broncos. One thing you will notice upon taking a look
at the roster is this is a very young team. The Broncos have five freshmen on this years squad that include Dana Clary, Jamie Donizio, freshman Genevieve Ling, freshman Oceane Pelloille, and freshman Haliee Piper. The Broncos in fact do not have a single senior on this year’s team as junior Jenna Leurquin is the team’s most seasoned veteran. Leurquin along with the trio of Martin, Ford, and Pless will look to be the leaders of the team and help guide this year’s very young Bronco roster. The Boise State women will open the season at home this week at the Bronco Fall Invitational on Sept. 16 and 17 at the Falcon Crest Golf Course in Kuna.
The tournament will serve as the only home tournament the team will have all year. The Broncos will have four more tournaments during the fall season, which will include Rose City Collegiate in Oregon, Price’s “Give ‘Em Five” Invitational in New Mexico, SCU Colby invi-
tational in California, and the Winthrop Intercollegiate in North Carolina. The Broncos will then have a few months off before returning to play in February for their competitive season leading up to the Mountain West Championships and the NCAA Regional and National Championships.

The Boise State men’s golf team kicks off their season with a lot of upside. The men finished tied for seventh place at the Mountain West tournament last season and are looking to improve in 2013. The Broncos have three freshman on the team in Mark Brassey, David Elliot, and Kyle Mitsunaga. Sophomores include Shane Allor and Logan France. Boise State has three juniors in Minwoo Park, Ty Travis and Jon VanDyk. The Broncos’ lone senior on the team is Jordan Skyles. Six of the nine players
on the team are from right here in the Boise area, with three of them coming in as freshman. The Broncos opened their season last week in Pullman, Wash., at the Itani Quality Homes Collegiate. Despite having a good second round, Boise State finished ninth out of 12 teams. While it was not the start the Broncos were hoping for, they did have a notable performance from Travis. Travis led the Broncos from start to finish at the tournament. This was his debut for the Broncos as he was a transfer from Weber State. He shot a five under par 65 in the second round that tied for the lowest of
the tournament and was merely a shot off for the tournament record. His second round was the fifth best in school history. He would finish the tournament at two over par, good enough for an 18 place finish. “With a lot of new faces playing their rounds as Broncos, I’m confident that we will be able to better capitalize on our sucesses as we progress through the season,” Boise State head coach Kevin Burton said in a release following the Broncos first tournament. The Broncos will now have a week off before returning to action at home in the Dash Thomas Memorial on Sept. 23-24.
Volleyball goes 2-1 at Bronco Classic Angie Christiaens Staff Writer
Over the past weekend, the Boise State volleyball team (9-14-13) went 2-1 during the Courtyard Marriott Bronco Volleyball Classic. On Thursday in the opening match with five hard-fought sets against the Idaho Vandals. The Broncos couldn’t quite hold on losing overall 2-3 (16-25, 28-26, 14-25, 2522, 15-13). The Broncos started out slow and found themselves
down with a score of 14-8 in the final set. Boise State battled back to be down by only one before the Vandals seized the victory when senior setter Casey Rose missed her final serve. “I just wanted to go out and I wanted to win it for my team. I wanted to serve tough,” Rose said. “I didn’t want to go out there and baby-serve it. I left it all out there. I went for it. Unfortunately, it missed.” Junior outside hitter Taylor Murphey and junior outside hitter Alyssa Gam-
mel both led the Broncos with 14 kills each of the team’s total 71 while Rose contributed on 34 of the team’s 53 assists. “We did lose the match, but we played really well at times. I think we try to build on the good things that we did and know that the things that we didn’t do so well were fixable by getting back in the gym and training hard and being more mentally tough,” head coach Shawn Garus said. Coming out strong against North Texas in
Boise State men’s golf coach Kevin Burton has high hopes for 2013.
the second match of the Bronco Classic, Boise State defeated the Mean Green 3-1 (25-21, 25-16, 27-29, 25-19). Junior middle blocker Aly Duffin performed a personal best hitting 70 percent to give the Broncos an extra lift. Duffin led the team with 14 total kills and also contributed two digs and two blocks in the Bronco Gymnasium. “The whole team was doing great. We just had an energy that was on top and we all wanted to win and I think that that’s what really helped me get all those kills,” Duffin said. In their final match against Sacramento State on Saturday, Boise State came out intense finishing the match quickly winning 3-0 (25-11, 25-17, 25-16).
Sacramento State seemed to be hesitating against Boise State’s hitters who all attacked hard with a team total of 46 kills versus only 24 from the Hornets. Junior outside hitter Alyssa Gammel led the Broncos with 10 kills with the assist of Rose and sophomore setter Sarah Baugh who each added 20 assists.
“Sacramento State’s a good program. We really try to not take them lightly,” Garus said. “Overall, it was a good win. I hope that we’ll continue to build on it.” The Broncos will begin conference play when they travel to Logan, Utah to take on Utah State next Wednesday on Sept. 18.
