Editor’s note

Why we didn’t advertise with The Origin Summit Justin Kirkham Editor-in-Chief

The last thing I expected to hear when listening to a voicemail from our staff adviser last Tuesday morning was news of a potential lawsuit. But, after being denied ad space in The Arbiter, The Origin Summit, a creationist group organizing a lecture on campus, felt as though their views were being censored and were considering legal action.

When looking at ads for the paper, our sales team generally approaches our business manager and me

when something may be seen as controversial. I wasn’t approached for this ad, but the ideology behind the decision is more than solid.

According to the Student Press Law Center, student organizations have the right to refuse or run any advertisement or story. Our stories and ads cannot be controlled by any organization other than our own.

When approached by The Origin Summit, our sales and advertising manager, Phil Daily, combed through the group’s website and found that many of their

claims could be construed as overtly belligerent to our readership. After conferring with Daily, Connor Jones, student media business manager, decided not to run the ad.

If we run ads from one religious group and reflect their views, it is only fair that we offer the same chance to all groups. This is something that we aim to avoid. With all of this information in hand, Jones made his decision. And, at the end of all this chaos, it looks like we dodged a bullet.

Engage Truth, the student group working with

The Origin Summit to put on this event, recently approached Jones to explain that they supported The Arbiter in denying the ad and that they and the Northwest Science Museum, another cosponsor of the event, had no part in the legal action surrounding the event. They cordially spoke Jones to explain the events at hand and published a public message in support of The Arbiter.

When digging even further, we found that a now disbanded student group at Michigan State University ran into the same problems

with the summit.

The Origin Summit recently changed their name from The Creation Summit, in an effort to, as detailed in an interview with our assistant news editor Shelly Bohorquez, be more appealing to students who may not agree innately with creationism.

This sort of change may be routine, but it also lends itself to the sort of manipulative nature of the summit. To latch on to student groups in order to retrieve student backing for an event without their full knowledge and involve-

ment isn’t the best way to go about organizing a conference.

Thus, in an effort to steer clear of all of the above, The Arbiter stands by its decision to not run an Origin Summit ad in the print product of the paper. As an organization striving to connect and inform students and the university community, it is imperative that this ideology is cemented and continued throughout our other advertising endeavors and will be reflected in an updated version of our advertising media kit.

Boise, obama welcome more syrian refugees Managing Editor

Boise State graduate Sharayah Sherry was on vacation in Prague when she noticed groups of refugees huddling around train stations under the heavy eye of nearby guards.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Sherry found herself in Budapest, where more than 2,000 refugees spent several days trying to board international trains after being refused service.

“I met people who saw babies being thrown off of trains as they were all trying to escape,” Sherry said.

“I came back (to Boise) and life seems so small compared to people running for their lives.”

R efugees in Boise

Sherry was one of hundreds of Boise citizens gathering at the Idaho Capitol Building Saturday, Sept. 12. Those present signed a petition showing support for current and forthcoming refugees in Idaho—including the 750 refugees resettled in Boise in 2014.

A gathering called, Refugees Welcome in Idaho, formed partly in response to the anti-refugee group in Twin Falls, Committee to End the Colege of Southern Idaho’s Refugee Center (CECRE) working to end CSI’s Refugee Center and put an end to Syrian refugees settling in Twin Falls.

CECRE began as a private Facebook group after an announcement in April detailed the possibility of

Pg 4

300 more Syrian refugees settling in the Twin Falls area over the following year.

“There is a lot of opposition to bringing immigrants in by the public,” Cristian Senior, volunteer at Refugees Welcome in Idaho and member of Venture 58—a grass roots activist group—said. “This is a great opportunity to resettle people into our country. If people just get educated a little and put their feet in someone else’s shoes for a few minutes, they would see it would make sense to help them resettle.”

According to Senior, the petition is meant to illustrate to Idaho’s governor Boise is in favor of accepting more refugees.

“There may be pushback in Twin Falls and other parts of the state, but there is big support here in Boise,” Senior said.

his administration to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States over the next fiscal year.

“Bringing refugees in isn’t just charity, it’s an amazing thing for our country,” Armstrong said.

“They bring a lot of entrepreneurship and creativity, as we saw with the international market and the amazing businesses in there.”

Armstrong referenced the recently destroyed Boise International Market as a great example of how refugee businesses can add new jobs and flavor to

communities all over the country.

“Overall, there’s been great success with refugees getting jobs and keeping them,” Armstrong said.

Refugees in our community

According to Armstrong, refugees in Boise are given eight months to undergo the process of assimilating into their community. The assimilation process involves job training, finding a residence and language acquisition.

“Because it’s such a short amount (of time), you could argue integra-

tion may not have fully happened yet, especially for those that don’t speak English before they come,” Armstrong said. “Eight months is a short amount of time to learn a language.”

Armstrong explained students could learn a lot from interacting with the large population of refugees who currently attend Boise State.

“People come and often have trauma from their country of origin or potentially from their camp,” Armstrong said. “We still have a long way to go in talking to people who

are different than us. Just reach out to people in your classes and look around.

Try to attend other clubs or events.”

According to Sherry, students shouldn’t even question interacting and supporting the acceptance of more refugees into the United States, Idaho and Boise.

“I get the political stuff, but on a basic human level, there shouldn’t even be a question,” Sherry said.

“There are ways we can find to make people integrate into this culture and help them until they find a home again.”

R efugees in the United States

Refugees Welcome in Idaho utilized the hashtag #refugeeswelcome which, according to Annaliese Armstrong, service learning student volunteer coordinator at the International Rescue Committee, was created by the IRC as a global brand for welcoming refugees.

Boise’s push for the acceptance of more refugees matches up with Obama’s statement on Thursday regarding the roughly 4,088,000 Syrian refugees currently seeking asylum.

In the statement, Obama said he would work with

Women and leadership conference at Boise State Boise State hosted the third annual Andrus Center Conference on Women and Leadership. The conference was held in the SUB from Sep. 9 to Sep. 11.

The goal of the event is to unite those who are committed to creating gender balance in leadership. The conference featured 20 speakers, many of whom were Boise State graduates.

The list of guest speakers was diverse and rich. Political figures, software engineers, mili-

tary personnel and nonprofit directors all got a chance to share their wisdom, experience and research with the crowd.

Lieutenant Colonel Merryl Tengesdal—noted for her 21 years of active duty in the United States military and the first African American female to pilot a U2 plane—talked about the importance of mentorship, hard work, loving what you do, getting out of your comfort zone and maintaining a balance between work and personal life.

“It’s okay if you don’t get what you want right away; it’s not the end of the world. It’s not a show stopper—it’s part

of the journey,” Tengesdal said. “You’ve got to wait a little bit, and it’s okay. It makes you much better when you finally get to that goal or get to that job or get to that position because now you’re more wise.”

Meredith Conroy, assistant professor at California State

Conroy talked about the importance of getting women involved in the political arena.

“Media is so powerful, and everything is somewhat gendered,” Conroy said. “I just

realized that, sure these are men, but the way media talks about men is probably affecting women who want to run for office.”

Conroy said conferences like this are important because they get people who believe that women need to be in leadership in one place, and that is a starting point to increase the number of women in leadership.

“You don’t have to be a certain way to be in this field, or to go to graduate school or get a PHD,” Conroy said. “You can talk differently, look differently, act differently and that’s okay.”

Erika Ostyn, senior commu-

nication major, said the conference was a valuable experience for her because she was able “to hear about their experiences and everything they’ve been through, their failures and their successes and how they help encourage others to do the same,” Ostyn said. “Its important to hear from people who have accomplished and done things that other people aspire to do.”

Nepalese students, families recover from quake Shelly Bohorquez Asst. News Editor

in one week raised $7,614.95.

Aftershocks and sickness

Ujjwal Roy took personal responsibility in stretching that money as far as possible. Two weeks after the earthquake, Ujjwal Roy traveled to Nepal with his brother, Utsav Roy, a junior computer science major., to be with his family and to see what the people of Nepal needed most urgently.

The first day was spent providing food to displaced families. The atmosphere was tense as people worried for their children and anxiously sought after food, making sure their families were getting their share.

“When we went there to distribute food, one of the places had people that had been hungry for two days and they started grabbing food by themselves, started fighting. That was kind of crazy,” said Utsav Roy. Terrorized by the daily aftershocks, relief was unknown for months.

“They are still getting hit by aftershocks after three months. There

was a shock a week ago,” Utsav Roy said.

Supplies ran out quickly in Nepal, as there were not enough tents for the high numbers of displaced families.

“All the tents were sold out, so we contacted our own friends in India and asked them to help us,” Utsav Roy said.

They ordered the tents and spent the third day delivering them to a hundred families who had not yet found shelter.

Ujjwal Roy had hoped to spend each day in Nepal spreading relief, but became ill soon after arriving.

“I didn’t even know,” Utsav Roy said, explaining his brother had not brought up being sick until long after. “He was coughing blood and stuff when he came back. When he went for the examination they could not figure out the virus. They finally tracked it down and it was from China.”

Ujjwal had picked up the virus through the air and dust.

“He was really sick; he still has headaches,” Utsav Roy said.

Neglect of Education

The Roy brothers’ father works as an air traffic controller at the international airport in Kathmandu and connected his sons to a helicopter that took them to Gorkha.

As one of the most affected cities, Gorkha had received immediate relief from international organizations like the Red Cross.

“In (Gorkha), nothing was remaining. Everything was destroyed because it’s on the mountain and there were landslides, so the entire village was washed away,” Ujjwal Roy said.

Wearing face masks during his trip to prevent further reaction from the dust, Ujjwal Roy asked the locals what they needed.

Being several weeks into the catastrophe, the residents had had enough time to think about the long term effects of the disaster.

“They said, ‘now we need to start focusing on the long-term because

A thick layer of dust hovered over the fallen buildings and the collapsed Dhahara, which was once the tallest building of Kathmandu. The 213 steps up the spiraling staircase of the nine-story tower were commonly walked by locals to reach the top, where they would look out over the city.

This landmark was missing as Ujjwal Roy, senior electrical engineering major and former president of the Nepalese Student Association, flew into the city two weeks after the catastrophe.

“First of all, it felt really different.

We landed, and you know in a city, you know the city you went to by their landmarks. But when I went to Kathmandu, the landmarks that I would see were not there. It just felt kind of sad. I grew up at that place and it just felt like the whole city fell apart,” said Ujjwal Roy. “People were moving out of the city every day.”

Thousands evacuated after the Apr. 25, 7.8 magnitude earthquake that killed more than 9,000 people and injured tens of thousands. The mountainous landscape of Nepal suffered landslides that destroyed entire villages, roads and left hundreds of thousands homeless.

This earthquake was felt in Boise by the group of Nepalese students who waited anxiously to hear from their families and friends.

“I tried calling my parents, but I couldn’t reach them,” said Sikha Neupane, a civil engineering graduate student from Nepal. Neupane was traveling back from a conference at Oregon State University with her professors when she heard there had been an earthquake. “When it happened, I mean… How come I’m here and I’m not there with my friends and family?” Neupane said.

The Nepalese Student Association held a meeting at Neupane’s home that same day, in which they discussed their course of action. They immediately began fundraising, and

NEWS “I have some friends who are civil engineers in Nepal, so I talked to them and said, ‘why can’t you guys design a simple model and not charge them money?’ And they were like, ‘yeah, we’ll be able to do that,’” Ujjwal Roy said.

The remaining costs were labor and engineering costs, but with the donated plans for the school, all that was needed was labor.

“When we were talking to the leaders, we said ‘when we start building a school over here, you guys have to work too, because your kids are going to study in this school, so you guys have to support the labor.’ They were like, ‘yeah, we’ll be able to help,’” Ujjwal Roy said.

To gather the rest of the funds, Ujjwal Roy contacted

his friends who were studying in Germany, who had also done fundraising, but were unsure what to do with the money.

Ujjwal Roy returned to Boise a couple weeks later, but kept an eye on the project from here.

“I was in contact with them almost every day; they were reporting to me on the various stages,” Ujjwal Roy said.

“I wanted to make sure this (school) would not only stand as a hypothesis, but I wanted the work to be done.

So I was pushing them a little.”

He was concerned the locals would lose motivation in working for free.

“I knew only one guy from there, so I didn’t know if they were going to stay there until the end without getting paid.

That was the main concern because constructing something is a lot of physical work,” Ujjwal Roy said.

The school was finished at the end of August.

“All it has is a roof, walls, a whiteboard and desks. That’s how schools in Nepal look,” Ujjwal Roy said.

“With the amount of money we had, maybe we could impact a little bit but not a lot.

I always wanted to make a bigger impact, so I thought building a school would be a really crazy idea.”

After all they were able to accomplish, Ujjwal Roy and Utsav Roy were left with bittersweet feelings.

“It was a great experience as well as a bad experience,” Utsav Roy said. “When I went back, nothing was the same.”

everyone is focusing on food, medicine and shelter, but no one is focusing on issues like education,’” Ujjwal Roy said.

“At first we thought, ‘we can’t do that. How can we build a school? That would be so expensive,’” Ujjwal Roy But upon asking for an expenses list, they realized it wasn’t impossible.

The locals informed them for a primary school housing 140 children, supplies would run about $2,500. For a secondary school housing 260 students, the cost would be about $1,000 more.

“We didn’t have enough time, so we contacted locals there and asked them to lead,” Utsav Roy said.

In Kathmandu, after returning from Gorkha, Ujjwal Roy gathered his resources.

State of the fine arts building is coming to campus Patrick Adcock News Editor

Boise State is working to diversify the look of campus with a new Fine Arts building.

The Fine Arts building will be located near Capitol Boulevard and feature a unique design.

Before construction can begin, the building must receive landmark status from the city, allowing them to move forward with the design the university has in mind.

According to Christy

Jordan, director of capital planning and space management at Architectural and Engineering Services, the proximity to Capitol Boulevard, “a prominent and important entrance to the city,” is the reason landmark status is required.

“By establishing it as a landmark building, we have a little more leeway with the design, the look and the feel of the building, so we’re hoping that the city will be in agreement with that,” Ann Wozniak, University Architect and director of Architectural and Engineering Ser-

vices said. “It’s quite an unusual building. It’s very unique to Boise. We’re very excited to have such a different looking building on campus and it also speaks to the fine arts’ nature.”

Wozniak and Jordan are both excited about how the building will cater to the needs of students.

“The building will also have areas for a lot of outdoor spaces and opportunity to engage the interior with the exterior space.

We’re planning on some patios and terrace space, as well as some garden space,”

Wozniak said. “Students and faculty can teach out there, learn out there or even use the landscape as a subject for some of their classes.”

Wozniak said the biggest challenge with the building was deciding what to do with the exterior.

“We really wanted to stay with the campus palate, but we also wanted to do something that embraced the nature of the building, the arts and humanities function and really celebrate that,” Wozniak said.

“It’s a stone veneer that can be shaped in three direc-

tions, so that was really difficult to do. We’ve decided to introduce this blue metal panel that we think will be really exciting.“ The approximately 95,000 square foot building will cost between $35 million and $40 million and is tentatively scheduled to be completed for the fall 2018 semester.

“We’ll be putting all of the undergrad classrooms in there. It will include the sculpture studio, the graphics program, drawing and painting, photography, ceramics, foundations, illustrations, print

making, art metals, art education, art history, arts and humanities and campus school,” Wozniak said.

“It also includes a gallery space on the first level and it will also have some faculty offices.”

Jordan said the university is still deciding what to do with the classrooms those programs used to be in, but they will likely serve academic purposes.

“I feel like it’s really going to improve the environment for students and create a great place to learn with really state-of-the-art facilities,” Wozniak said.

Campus Housing works to create o Patty Bowen

Managing Editor

Being assigned a dorm or apartment is a rudimentary part of living on campus.

Students choose several preferences that suit them with the hopes of being matched up with a roommate they get along with. However, for students who don’t indentify their gender with their born sex, this process can become much more complicated or impossible.

With the recent creation of the Boise State Transgender Alliance, several organizations on campus are increasing their hand in making identities outside the gender binary recognized.

“We’ve undergone a tremendous amount of organizational change over the last couple years with a little bit of re-steering of the direction of our department,” said Dean Kennedy, director of Housing and Residence Life. “We’re now in a place where we can start having conversations about what communities on campus would want to live on campus, and how can we create safe spaces for them.”

Kennedy is working on partnering with the Women’s Cen-

ter to recreate how on-campus housing is organized so students with varying identities are able to live on campus if they desire.

According to Kennedy, dorms and on campus housing are currently separated into suites by sex, making it difficult for students who are transgender or somewhere on the gender spectrum to be able to live comfortably.

“Idaho is a relatively conservative state, so our residents halls as they have been designed are designed based on sex,” Kennedy said. “Residents share a bathroom designed for that sex which is challenging for those who identify as transgender.”

Because of this, Kennedy said it is very difficult for a transgender student to be able to live on campus because they would have to be willing to disclose their gender identity to individuals in their living area they might not feel comfortable with.

“It really depends on that individual’s comfort level with how they represent themselves in public spaces,” Kennedy said. “Even a residence hall or a suite of three students is potentially a public space for somebody depending on their level of comfort with the gender they identify with.”

Kennedy finds it pertinent that all Boise State faculty and staff are united in making campus inclusive of all gender identities. He said it is the duty of the university to help change the perception of students and provide students with safe housing and gender neutral bathrooms because it is an issue of safety.

“Safety is not just blue lights on campus and having our 24 hour security,” Kennedy said. “It’s about walking down the street, passing a group of students and not feeling marginalized regardless of the color of your skin, how you’re dressed or how you’re moving.”

Kennedy hopes to work with other marginalized student groups as well to ensure all students feel safe on campus.

“We’ll start with (gender nonconformity) where there’s energy, but there’s a whole other set of marginalized populations,” Kennedy said. “I’m working really closely with all the international student organizations on campus, so I’m hoping if we can start the conversations around gender, then we’ll be able to create a safer space for gender nonconformity and international students.”

the gender binary, professors have no problem, but when it comes to changing ‘Suzy’ to ‘Frank’ professors can have a hard time accepting it.

According to Piggott, when a professor does something like disrespect the chosen name of a student or refuse to acknowledge their prefered pronoun, it creates a culture in the classroom where no one respects a student’s gender or identity.

“Whenever that happens and it’s an authority figure, everybody else participating in that setting feels it is perfectly alright to engage in that lack of respect,” Piggott said.

Fortunely, according to Adriane Bang, associate director of the Women’s Center, students can now change their registered name to their prefered name on their myboisestate.edu.

Bang believes making these changes like preferred names and implementing gender neutral bathrooms helps improve campus for everyone.

“There’s times where you’ve used a single person restroom; there’s times where I have,” Bang said. “Some people need more privacy, some people need to access more space for their wheelchair and for some people it’s about their safety and being able to do what we all need to do, which is use a restroom.”

Review: Art in the Park lacks needed Idaho Artists Culture Editor

As September heat dwindled away into the memories of another summer, Julia Davis Park blossomed into tents, food vendors and roaming pups excited for adventure.

Celebrating 61 years, Boise Art Museum’s Art in the Park brought art objects and a festival atmosphere together in a blissful marriage of museum fundraising. Billed by the museum as the Northwest’s largest arts and crafts fair, this year’s Art in the Park definitely lived up to its Northwestern focus.

260 artists and craftsmen were selected by the Art in the Park jury in April to showcase their talent. Of the artists selected this year, less than half fit into the traditional “fine art” categories. This translated into a surprisingly broad interpretation of art with jewelers composing the majority of selected artists.

Yet the largest surprise for attendees was the lack of Idaho artists.

With only 80 local artists and artisans, Art in the Park can be a bit of a double-edged sword. While the opportunity to meet with and purchase work from out-of-state vendors is fantastic, many are left to wonder why Idaho artists comprise less than a third of the featured artists. Idaho does not suffer from a lack of artists, but a lack of opportunity is a

Pg 14

surefire way to drive artists out of Idaho.

According to a March 2015 report conducted by the School of Public Service at Boise State, the largest struggle for artists in the Boise area happens when attempt to establish a lifelong career.

The report, “The Working Artist: Boise’s Hidden Economy of Creators, Makers and Doers” reveals that Boise artists feel appreciated by the community but are “low paid and underemployed.”

This results in an artistic community that is welcomed, but often has to make ends meet with non-artistic jobs or finding artistic work elsewhere.

Art in the Park is the perfect opportunity for Idaho artists if they can survive the jury process.

Every March, Art in the Park hopefuls are asked to submit an application which includes samples of their work, an artist statement and a non-refundable fee of $35. In April, artists are selected by a jury who, according to the application, make their decisions “based solely on the images submitted and the artist statement.”

The application process is nothing surprising for a career artist, and the nonrefundable fee is very reasonable. The overall process is simple and accessible for artists at any stage in their career.

There is no way of knowing how many applications the jury received from

Idaho artists but it needs to be pointed out that all artists are, in essence, hand picked by the jury.

By choosing to invite a majority of non-native artisans, the Art in the Park jury has pulled the spotlight away from an already struggling demographic.

Idaho artists may have been poorly represented, but what they lacked in numbers they brought in beautiful works of art.

Kate Peterson, the artist behind The Dapper Jackalope, was one of 21 new Idaho artists invited this year.

A Boise native, Peterson creates whimsical illustrations of woodland creatures, dinosaurs and the occasional anthropomorphic hamburger.

When asked about her experience at Art in the Park, Peterson shared what a wonderful, positive experience it had been.

Other Idaho artists, such as paperlionart and Mandy Riley prove the work of Idaho artists is of a caliber which should be celebrated and encouraged.

A greater outreach and inclusion of Idaho artists wouldn’t hamper Art in the Park’s mission.

Attendees, a large majority of whom are from the Treasure Valley, would celebrate the opportunity to meet and support Idaho artists.

Until then, perhaps the best route for local artists to hoping to sell at Art in the Park is to move out of Idaho then try again.

Students rarely receive anything awesome in the mail. Birthdays aside, most students suffer from dull mailboxes filled with unpaid bills, coupons they say they’ll use (but won’t) and credit card offers.

It’s time for students to pizzazz their mail box and treat themselves with a subscription box.

For geeks, nerds and all types of lovable dorks, Loot Crate is the go to subscription box. There are plenty of reasons why

Loot Crate is one of the top selling subscription services. For students who want something different, a vast world of of subscription boxes awaits—including one curated by Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Gamer Girl Monthly

Filled to the brim with cute accessories and jewelry, Gamer Girl Monthly is curated by nerd girls for nerd girls.

Like Loot Crate, each month’s offerings are based around a theme. For example, a previous box, based off sidekicks and allies, included a plush

Yoshi, A Legend of Zelda Navi necklace, and Companion Cube earrings.

Gamer Girl Monthly offers free replacements for any jewelry that breaks in shipping so students can purchase with confidence.

This monthly subscription is soft and gentle on a student budget.

of delightful goods. Past boxes have included stationary, plush key chains, candy, stickers and even a squishy doughnut mirror.

Having sweet stationary and pens will make class that much more enjoyable, whilst all that squishy cuteness will keep stress at

bay.

Book Riot

Lovingly curated for reading and writing enthusiasts, Book Riot is a quarterly subscription stuffed with bookish delights.

What Book Riot lacks in frequency they make

up for with content. Every subscription box comes with two books and at least five extra items. With everything from hats, water bottles and a library card note book, this is the one subscription service Bibliophiles cannot afford to live without.

Kawaii Box

For students not in the know, “kawaii” is the Japanese word for anything cute and adorable—just like everything Kawaii Box has to offer.

Each month, subscribers can expect 10 - 12 items Gamer girl monthly facebook page/courtesy

The Disability Resource Center (DRC) is well known for providing accommodations to students who are deaf, blind or otherwise physically impaired. But, perhaps a lesser known fact, is that the DRC also provides accommodations to students with mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and others.

Mental illness at Boise State is surprisingly prevalent. According to a survey done by the American College Health Association’s 2011 Executive Summary, 47.5% of Boise State students felt overwhelming anxiety in the last 12 months.

Mental illness affects every person differently. Ian Bott, a senior communication major who has autism, anxiety and depression, explained that his diagnoses make it particularly difficult to take tests and quizzes. But, if he requests accommodations in a timely manner, the DRC is happy to oblige.

“I get extra time on tests,” Bott said. “I do tests on the computer because my handwriting is terrible, and I get a scribe. I also get a natural reader on computer tests because I’m very auditory, and that’s how I learn.”

Some students may wonder if their mental illness is severe enough to qualify for accommodations. DRC Director Wendy Turner said any disability that affects a student’s performance can qualify for accommodations.

“We work with students who have depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizo-

Pg 16

phrenia and whatever else is impacting them in the classroom,” Turner said.

According to Turner, the process isn’t difficult. Students should let the DRC know they need accommodations, fill out a request for services form and provide documentation—an explanation of how the disability affects them.

Once everything is in order, the DRC will meet with the student to determine reasonable and appropriate accommodations.

Freshman mechanical engineering major Michelle Brady, whose last name has been changed to protect her identity, was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, Asperger’s syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

She said her illnesses have affected her greatly as a student.

“What I really want to happen in classrooms is teachers being more understanding,” Brady said. “I don’t know how they expect you to concentrate and finish your work on time if you naturally cannot concentrate, are cycling through depressive thoughts, are getting triggered by your anxiety and getting panic attacks or if you’re suddenly remembering a traumatic event.”

She explained that she finds it helpful when professors provide the PowerPoint presentations they use during class for students to review later and when they allow students to work ahead in the class, in case something comes up that would otherwise prevent them from finishing assignments on time.

Students such as Brady and Bott wish professors and fellow students would recognize

that hidden disabilities does not equate to imaginary disabilities.

Brady recalled something her aunt told her when she was considering stopping her medication.

“She said, ‘If you are a diabetic, you need insulin. So why would you refuse to take medication that you need?’”

Michelle said. “There are people out there willing to help. Please don’t give up on yourself.”

There are many resources on campus available for students who have depression, anxiety or other mental illnesses.

These include counseling through Health Services, student organizations, the Office of the Dean of Students and the Disability Resource Center.

“If you struggle with anxiety or depression, going to a support group is something I would highly recommend,” Bott said. “People with mental illness don’t have to feel like they are ostracized, and there is plenty of help available if you choose to have it.”

Tender Thoughts is one student organization on campus that welcomes all students.

Vice President and junior applied physics major McKenzie Holland believes people with mental illness are the key to transforming our society.

“The only way for society to advance is to help those who are different among us,” Holland said. “We learn new values and skills from this approach and advance new technologies. To be apathetic and disregard those who are different is to cut off parts of our brain’s development and ultimately set our society back.”

The Northend has often been labeled as Boise’s hippie neighborhood, and the Hyde Park Street Fair often lives up to that reputation.

While it may not necessarily feature tie-dye, dream catchers and beads, it is undoubtedly a showcase of Boise’s offbeat culture.

This Friday, the Hyde Park Street Fair will kick off three days of arts and crafts, live music, food and beer and wine gardens.

The Hyde Park Street Fair

JOIN OUR TEAM!

is an annual fundraiser event hosted by the North End Neighborhood Association in Camel’s Back Park. Proceeds of the event go to schools, parks and community projects in Boise’s historic Northend.

The event began in 1979 as a way for neighbors in the Northend to share art and music, and the fair only spanned one street. Now, over thirty years later, it’s being hosted at Camel’s Back Park and an estimated 40,000 people will attend.

According to northend.org, “This annual neighborhood event is becoming one of the largest of its kind bringing to-

gether international visitors to Boise, as well as local Northend neighbors celebrating for three fun filled days.”

Parking at the venue is extremely limited, so attendees are encouraged to walk or bike to the event. A bike corral is located near the tennis courts in Camel’s Back Park. There will be free parking at First Baptist Church, with a shuttle service that will run every 15 minutes.

Throughout each day, the Community Stage will present live music from local bands and artists.

On Friday, the lineup includes Jupiter Holiday, Ned Evett and the David Andrews

Band. Saturday and Sunday will feature artists such as AKA Belle, Matt Hopper & The Roman Candles, the Barking Owls and Kevin Kirk & Onomatopoeia.

In addition to live music, there will also be children’s activities, non-profit organization booths, exotic foods and over one hundred local artisans.

The Hyde Park Street Fair will begin Friday, Sept. 18, at 4 p.m. and end Sunday at 6 p.m. The North End Neighborhood Association believes attending the event is a great way to squeeze some last minute fun out of summer and connect to the local community.

trebel music lets students download music free Editor-in-Chief

Long gone are the days of YouTube downloader, copying video links and hoping, for some miraculous reason, a computer is immune to the clutches of viruses from Mediafire and bitTorrent.

For Boise State students, it is now feasible to download music without damaging their hard drives or depriving their favorite artists of compensation— for free.

This is all located on M&M Media’s premiere social music app, Trebel Music.

“It’s a one touch download versus a cut and paste and download,” Chief of product at M&M Media Corey Jones said.

After testing on select campuses like UCLA in 2014, Trebel Music will now be available to Boise State students by noon on September 14.

“Boise State is one of the largest and most socially active campuses in the region,” Gary Mekikian, CEO and co-founder of M&M Media, said. “We want to develop long term relationships with students who understand the issues our app is addressing and are excited to be part of it at an early stage.”

According to Jones, Trebel Music allows users to access a genuinely free music listening experience where, unlike other free streaming platforms like Pandora, they can se-

Pg 18

lect specific songs to play instead of listening at the mercy of a playlist. These songs can be integrated into a student’s iTunes or Google Play library.

“Trebel is for the costconscious student that wants total control over what they listen to,” Jones said.

Trebel operates on a simple model, aiming to help students obtain free music and keep artists compensated. When searching for and downloading a song from the app’s growing library, students will watch a few ads as the song is imported onto their phone.

These ads earn the student virtual currency that can be used to turn off ads while streaming or pooled with other users for an entire day of seamless playlisting.

According to Gary Mekikian, the app has 65 to 70 percent of the songs students might be interested in downloading. M&M Media is in the process of expanding the app’s library and striking deals with record labels daily, as well as testing new updates and features for the app as users jump into the Trebel experience—one tailormade by a student herself.

Juliette Mekikian, La Canada High School senior, co-founder of M&M Media and daughter of Gary Mekikian, believes Trebel is the optimal application for her generation.

The app claims to provide “music for millennials by millennials.”

“I was watching friends

get music on apps full of fake tracks that couldn’t be heard offline. The user experience left a lot to be desired,” Juliette Mekikian said. “Ours is the social media and mobile generation. We are using these technologies to solve a problem in a way that’s beneficial to everyone in the value chain from fan to artist.”

M&M Media hopes to provide students with this new, consistent music experience, replacing subscription services like Spotify and Apple Music.

Currently, Spotify boasts over 20 million subscriptions and over 75 million active users. Just at the end of June, Apple Music came in at 11 million users, but it still has yet to leave its free trial period. Both services have options where users can save music files to their respective devices for offline listening—for a price.

AEG Live’s recent July 2015 survey found that 77 percent of youth prefered owning a digital or physical music file to just streaming a song online.

UK Music’s 2009 study found that 61 percent of youth surveyed admitted to using file-sharing and torrenting websites daily in order to obtain these digital files.

Trebel Music hopes to alleviate all of the above, creating a one-stop-shop for free music files that still benefit artists.

“If young people can afford to pay for music, they will do it,” Gary Mekikian

said. “But, it’s difficult when they are incurring debt to come up with that $120 a year for Spotify.

We are creating a service to make sure young people can have access to media.”

But, in addition to its free status, Trebel Music sports another large difference from Spotify, Apple Music and other services-it was created with sociability in mind.

“It’s all in one place with a beautiful user interface,” Gary Mekikian said. “I can discover my friend’s library or discover other people—that’s our way of making music discovery more social.”

When creating a Trebel profile, students can select Boise State as their university, entering into a musical community where they can browse other students’ listening habits, follow their friends for music updates or browse the university’s top-played tracks or top-downloaded songs.

According to Gary Mekikian, this, in addition to the app’s customizable user interface and color scheme, YouTube integration and eventual virtual disc scratching features, lends itself to an experience tailor-made for students and millennial minded individuals.

“Music needs to come from young people for young people, and that’s what we’re doing,” Gary Mekikian said.

Football players enjoy ‘Carrol’s legendary burritos’ Asst. Sports & Rec Editor

It’s 3:40 a.m. and Boise State students are fast asleep.

In New Plymouth, Carrol Kleeb just woke up ready for another day as grill master at the Boise River Cafe.

From 7:15a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Kleeb is behind the grill flipping omlettes, perfecting skillets and putting down tortillas for the burritos that have made her famous across campus.

The secret ingredient to her food: passion.

“I treat everyone like my own kids,” Kleeb said. “I love what I do.”

Two separate cooking stations are set up for students in the mornings, but only one is always filled with 20 students deep: Carrol’s.

The athletic department may have gotten their best recruit when Kleeb came on staff back in 2003.

The football team has developed a strong love for Kleeb’s cooking.

“They love her. She‘s such a hard worker and so nice to everyone,”co-worker Amellaly Nedina said.

Since she started, the football team has been lucky enough to reap the benefits of Kleeb’s cooking.

“I know what most of them eat for breakfast and lunch,” Kleeb said.

During the summer, Kleeb was called in to work for the football team during their training camp.

They rely on her to feed

Pg 20

and energize the players, and she has gotten to know some of them very well­— Sometimes too well.

“One day the team came in and serenaded me,” she said.

One moment sticks out for Kleeb from 10 years ago. The day before the team was leaving, she had the day off. Suddenly, she received a phone call from the BRC chef.

“Carrol- the football team has requested that you come in to serve them today,” the chef said.

“I’ll be right over,” Kleeb responded.

This kind of dedication and passion for her job has kept her at the BRC for the past 12 years. In those 12 years, she has noticed how football season brings the school together.

On gamedays, she says “if the team is winning the students are bouncing off the walls,” and she can feel that energy in the BRC. Kleeb has been at the BRC since the restaurant decided to move downstairs and has seen a lot of changes happen over the years, but every weekday morning students are guaranteed to see her behind the grill.

“She doesn’t take sick days. She’s always here. If you need something she will help you out,” fellow cook Mike Brown said.

“She takes pride in her work.”

That pride is shown every day when she wakes up and makes the 45 minute drive from her home in New Plymouth. It is

also shown when her line is running out the door as students patiently wait to get their burritos.

“She doesn’t let you help her. Her line will be backed up, and you want to help her out, but she won’t let you,” Brown said.

Students waiting for a burrito will see a few of Kleeb’s well known quirks behind the grill. She likes

to dance and she loves to talk with students.

“I like to have fun. I really enjoy myself,“ she said. “This place keeps me young.”

It rubs off on her students as well. On campus, the legend of “Carrol” is well known. She serves “the most important meal of the day” to many students and, while she waits

for food to cook, she also gives out life and career advice. When asked if she had any advice for the graduating seniors, her response embodied her feelings for her job.

“Make sure you love what you’re doing. Don’t get stuck at a dead-end job,” Kleeb said. “If you don’t like your major at school, change it. Be happy with what you are doing.”

Many students live far away from home and do not have a parent figure to talk to. Kleeb’s line can fill that role for anyone.

She’ll talk and make a burrito they will never forget.

New BRC Supervisor, Alex Sawyer, has noticed the impact she has on her line every day. “I’ve only been here two months but I know she’s a legend,” Sawyer said.

Combining the abilities of students from around the entire world, the Boise State cross-country team just had their first meets of the season: the Dual in Speedway Meadow and Utah Open the previous weekend of Sept. 11.

With these the first meets of the season, it’s normal for athletes to have a small case of cold feet.

“I think the most intimidating thing for them is it’s their first college race, so that’s intimidating in

itself,” head coach Corey Ihmels said. “I think any time you get in the van or on a plane and go somewhere it’s a business trip, so I think that’s a good thing and everyone is kind of looking forward to getting the meet over with so we can get to the rest of the season.”

Now the cross country team can look forward to the rest of the season.

“I think we’ve not proved anything yet, and I don’t think we can until the end of the season when we can look back and say we’ve done this and this,” sopho-

more runner Mike Vennard said. “Even though we’ve been ranked quite highly, I think that we need to get just a few races in under our belt.”

The current team consists of several student athletes from outside the country, which has given the team a new but welcome dynamic this year.

“We’ve got transfers and guys from around the world, and right now I think we’ve got a genuine chance of to be a top 15 or a top 10 team,” Vennard said. “I’ve got no personal ambitions, but, as for team

goals, we are going to be up there in the nation.”

For the team’s motivation, Coach Ihmels sees a promising season for Boise State.

“I think the expectations are high it’s a fun group. I think we are starting to get what the coaches are trying to get across and different things, for me that’s fun and exciting and it makes it, exciting to go to practice and those things,” Ihmels said. “I think the meet results will take care of themselves as we go along but seeing the day to day progress is exciting to me.”

Boise State Cross Country breaks into season

Sports & Rec

Tiffany Poole Staff Writer

Three years ago, Boise State became the first university in the Northwest to start a sand volleyball team. This impacted Boise State’s campus as well as other schools, when the public sand court was created.

Since the establishment of the team there have been schools such as the Washington Huskies and the Oregon Ducks who have converted to the beach sport as well.

“I think it’s great for Boise State as a campus to have a facility like that for all the students to be able to use. I also think that being the first school in the Northwest to add sand volleyball put us at the forefront of the growing sport that it is.” Volleyball Head Coach Shawn Garus said. “It began on the emerging sport list for under 40 schools and we zoomed past that. We are now close to 50 schools and it’s now an NCAA sport starting this year.”

This competitive mentality and willingness to improve shows.

“We play every single day; rain, shine, snow, sleet, hail, we are outside on the court.” The Boise State Senior and #13 setter, Sarah Baugh said.

Since the roster is the same on both the indoor and outdoor women’s volleyball team, they are playing year round.

Indoor is played in the fall and spring, but they start hitting the sand as early as March. The team breaks up into pairs to compete in the sand while Garus sits in the stands during the games. “When it’s indoor you have setters, hitters, blockers,

Pg 22

all these different positions.”

Garus said. “In the sand you have do everything, so this helps (the girls) become a more rounded players.”

Whether it is with one or five other teammates on the court, at home or abroad the girls are tough.

“I use the crowd to fuel my energy, away or at home, if the crowd is booing me I have to think ‘I just slammed it down their throats and I’m gonna do it again.” Baugh said. “Kind of using it as something to ignite you.”

The team mentality of the Boise State Volleyball Team transcends the player’s origins.

“The team is a family that is willing to push each other. We succeed by conditioning and working really hard, always being the best we can be. Baugh said. “Another thing we do really well is we compete, we wanna win and we all have a goal to do really well and in or-

der to succeed with that it happens with the start of practice and working hard.”

The Bronco girls have plans to participate in tournaments both local nad national.

“I love the atmosphere from the fans. We have full support from the fans, to the entire university, to the student body who come here.” Baugh said.

“This whole town is so dedicated to Boise State, and that shows not just through football but through everything.”

Garus invited the students to play volleyball and utilize the courts as much as possible.

“Come out and support the team and go Broncos, the facility is there and available for (students) to use, go out and play.” Garus said. “Go out there and enjoy it, the more you do it the more comfortable you get. It’s a great sport and I hope everybody gets a chance to get out there and enjoy the new courts.”
