A.S. to cut use of Wildcat Store second floor Quinn Western A SST. NE WS EDITOR

Associated Students will vacate the Wildcat Store’s second floor, close its West Fifth Street warehouse and reorganize how it stores, ships and receives products all with the goal of reducing the bookstore’s overhead cost.

It is unknown when the condensing of the Wildcat Store will take place and the West Fifth Street warehouse will close, but the move is definite, A.S. President Jaypinderpal Virdee said.

The reorganization will include storing products in the BMU basement and in the Cherry Street warehouse, which is also used

by A.S. Recycling and Adventure Outings.

Before A.S. makes the move, it must check its inventory, make sure it has room for all of the products in the other locations and find something to fill the

second floor, Virdee said.

“I don’t want to see open space up there,” he said.

The early semester rush of sales is over, and A.S. is waiting to get sales numbers for that time, Virdee said. Depending on how much the income was, A.S. will anticipate when the warehouse and store will be condensed.

Many students have chosen to rent books online over the last few years rather than buy them, said Gabe Adley, the A.S. vice president for facilities and services. Because of this, the Wildcat Store now requires less space, and the move out of the second floor by A.S. could free up room in Bell Memorial Union for student use.

While the former Rainbo Bread warehouse will be crowded with another organization sharing the space, Adventure Outings should not be affected by

the move, said Rick Scott, the directer of the Wildcat Recreation Center.

“It’s going to be a little tighter, but everything’s tight these days,” Scott said.

A.S. administration is downsizing the merchandize it carries in its locations, Adley said.

The move from the second floor of the BMU is in the best interest of the Wildcat Store, as it will provide stability for the next few years, Virdee said.

“It’s like a big game of Tetris, finding the right spot for everything, but we’ll have room,” he said.

The California State University finance committee recommended a tuition fee increase of $150 that would be implemented in January 2013 at its meeting Tuesday.

The committee also deferred three separate fee increases to the next board of trustees meeting in November, said Erik Fallis, a spokesman from the CSU in an email.

The tuition increase is part of a contingency plan to support the universities if Gov. Jerry Brown’s tax increase does not pass in the November election, said “Grad students, Stephanie Thara, a repespecially resentative for international the CSU. students, need The increase fundraising, would net the system $58 milbecause it’s lion for the expensive.”

The other fees, which include a graduation incentive fee, a course repeat fee and an additional units fee, are recommended even if Gov. Brown’s tax initiative passes, according to the minutes from the board of trustees committee of finance meeting July 17.

The graduation incentive fee would require seniors and upperclassmen who have completed about 155 units to pay an extra tuition fee of about $372 per unit, according to the finance committee’s minutes.

Chico State moves up in World Report rankings Pedro Quintana STAFF WRITER

Chico State moved from sixth to fifth place in U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking of public universities in the west region.

The study focuses on data from each school in 16 areas associated with academic excellence, according to the U.S. News and World Report website.

A percentage of the ranking is based on a peer assessment by presidents, chancellors and deans at colleges around the United States.

Chico State continues to improve retention and

graduation rates, President Paul Zingg said.

The university’s faculty and staff are the keys to students’ success and they have not used a bad budget as an excuse to retreat from that responsibility, Zingg said.

The World Report ranking has taken its share of criticism, but it is the oldest and most thorough ranking of schools, said Joe Wills, director of public affairs. It does say something very positive and authoritative about Chico State when ranked highly by the report, Wills said.

Timeline established for initiative progress Now that students have approved the ballot measures, the next step for Associated Students is to begin a conversation with the university on how best to implement the changes.

A.S. President Jaypinderpal Virdee met with Chico State President Paul Zingg Thursday to discuss possible options for the university facilities-use and energy ballot initiatives.

Zingg has to look at the initiatives from the university side, and Virdee will be looking from the student side, Virdee said.

Not every building has to have its air conditioner on, and not every building has to have its lights on, Virdee said. One building can be allowed for that use.

It’s just about finding the best option to accommodate for students, faculty and staff.

Virdee will head a committee designated for coming up with ways to complete these initiatives.

The committee will meet to discuss what the next step is in advancing these initiatives and determine the most sustainable thing that can be done for the university, Virdee said.

Virdee wants to work with the university and make sure student voices are represented, he said.

“The students are Batman, I’m Alfred — my goal is to hand it on a silver platter,” Virdee said.

Unfortunately, it can’t be done overnight, he said.

“It is a goal by the end of the year that we have something set in stone,” Virdee said.

“The students are Batman, I’m Alfred — my goal is to hand it on a silver platter.”

Along with the fee, students who repeat courses will not be able to take more than 15 units. The CSU hopes that implementing this fee will free up space for students who have been unable to take the classes, according to the meeting’s minutes.

Another charge will cause a 7 percent tuition increase amounting to about $810 per semester for out-ofstate and international students.

The thought of an increase in international student tuition is scary, said Aria Ansari, an international graduate student.

“Grad students, especially international students, need fundraising because it is expensive,” Ansari said. “The Cal State funds keep going down, and it’s not good.”

CSU Chancellor Charles Reed is also directing universities to come up with their own plans to cut $132 million from their spending budgets for the 2013-2014 school year, regardless of whether the tax initiative passes.

The state has already cut the CSU’s budget by $750 million over the last five years, Chico State President Paul Zingg said in an email.

“We have lost almost 40 percent of

state support over these years,” Zingg said.

The list of cuts ranges from deferring maintenance and technology purchases to not hiring replacements for faculty that retire and freezing salaries, Zingg said.

“We have lost almost 40 percent of state support over these years.”

The three fees would be implemented in fall 2013 and would be expected to generate about $35 million annually for the system.

Along with these changes, the CSU would also cut money from health care plans for faculty members, saving an estimated $70 million, Thara said.

The number of managers in every department except in the University Police Department have been reduced, said Lori Hoff man, vice president for business and fi nance, in an email.

TAYLOR: Artist will recreate historic mural for $75,000 fee continued from A1

Yuba Hall is currently occupied by the University Police Department, which is scheduled to move into the Normal Avenue parking structure in October, Hoffman said.

Earlier in the year, university officials began using classrooms in other buildings to accommodate some of the courses that were previously held in Taylor Hall, said Joel Zimbelman, the dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts.

Taylor Hall was built in the 1950s and needs new roof panels and plumbing, Zimbelman said. The university has planned to replace Taylor Hall for at least 20 years.

Faculty and staff members were notified May 15 that they would have to move out of their Taylor Hall offices, he said. Over the summer, many instructors were placed in various locations on campus such as Trinity Hall, Siskiyou Hall and the Langdon Engineering Center.

The English classes that were in Taylor Hall have not been affected, said Aiping Zhang, the chair of the English department.

Only a few courses are held in Taylor Hall

this semester, but they will soon move to a different location, Zimbelman said.

The University Art Gallery will be moved from Taylor Hall to Trinity Hall in late November, he said. The ceramics courses will be moved to Plumas Hall and Siskiyou Hall in December.

The glass-blowing course will remain in Taylor Hall until summer 2013, because the rooms used for it contain equipment that is difficult to move, he said.

Academe, the mural located on the outer eastern wall of Taylor Hall, will be demolished with the building.

The university consulted experts and found that saving the mural would be more costly than having the artist repaint it on the new building, said Joe Wills, director of public affairs and publications.

Chico State will pay artist John Pugh $75,000 to repaint his mural with funds given to the university by Associated Students.

Former student sentenced to 4 years for role in 2 San Luis Obispo DUI deaths Katrina Cameron STAFF WRITER

A former Chico State student was sentenced to four years in state prison Sept. 10 for charges in connection with a drunken driving crash that killed two of his passengers in June 2011.

Evan Alexander Green, 22, was convicted on a count of drunken driving causing injury, two counts of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit of 0.08 percent and driving without a valid license, said Ilan Funke-Bilu, his attorney.

His license expired in December 2009.

Two of his passengers, Marcus Nelson, 21, of Castro Valley, and Aaron Beaver, 21, of Eureka, were both pronounced dead at the scene. Another passenger, Jacob Zimmer, 21, of Castro Valley, suffered severe injuries from the crash.

Green apologized to the families of his passengers during his sentencing hearing, Funke-Bilu said.

Do you trust your tap water?

Mt. Shasta SpringWater The best bottled spring water in Chico!

“He apologized to the families. It was from the heart,� Funke-Bilu said. “It was a very poignant moment.�

Green was driving three friends back to his parents’ house in San Luis Obispo when he lost control and flipped his Saturn after failing to make a sharp left curve, according to records filed by Gerald Shea, the district attorney for San Luis Obispo County.

The car rolled several times before stopping upside-down on a golf course.

When police arrived, Green told them he was hurt but said that his friends needed attention, according to court records.

Green stated that he was “not intoxicated� when police arrived.

He was required to undergo field sobriety tests when police smelled alcohol on his breath.

Green’s blood alcohol level was 0.24 percent about 20 minutes after the crash, according to court records.

CSU deceives with sell of fee hikes Congratulations, you’ve been approved for a California State University education. Hope you read the fine print.

The CSU board of trustees, under outgoing Chancellor Charles Reed, discussed three new undergraduate resident fees Tuesday that, if approved, would take effect in 2013 regardless of Proposition 30’s outcome in November.

Decide philosophy isn’t your thing and want to major in biology instead?

No problem — just make sure your total unit count doesn’t go over 155 or that’ll be $372 for each additional unit.

Have a rough semester and didn’t pass a course you need for your major?

Feel free to take it again; it will only cost you $100 per unit repeated.

Or maybe you don’t have any of those

problems, you’re on track and so excited about your field of study that you want to do an internship on top of your classes. Good for you, but if you go over 16 units, that’ll be $200 more per unit.

The state has cut the CSU’s budget by $750 million over the past five years, and that’s a crisis the system has been forced to grapple with. These fee increases would generate about $35

million annually, and the CSU says they would broaden students’ access to courses by adding certain limits (individual results may vary).

It’s deceptive for the CSU to nickel and dime students with fee hikes that the trustees keep crafting justifications for (act now before it’s too late!).

Don’t be fooled — it’s about money, not quality of education.

Student cautions about ways to give to homeless Kevin Crittenden K OPINION COLUMNIST

“Can you spare some change?”

The question comes from a fat middle-aged man and is directed at a Safeway customer unlocking his bicycle.

“Do you have any change for me?” he responds.

Fat dude: “I wish I did.”

Cyclist: “I wish you did too.”

I was taken aback by the stiff response. It made me think of my own usual apologetic refrain when I am asked for a hand-out by the apparently destitute.

“Sorry, I don’t have any,” I usually say.

I never have any idea what their story is. If they look hungry and I have a full stomach, a few coins tossed in their direction will not ruin my day, and it could make theirs.

But for all I know they could be schemers. They might have a Lincoln Navigator parked around the corner. Maybe they commute to Chico on a daily basis to leech the collective change of those who cannot say no.

They could be professional panhandlers. Yes, those people exist, and yes, they make an income doing it. I once met someone who told me he bought a laptop with the cash he was gifted in just one week of begging. These people are freeloaders. They do not work for

what they gain.

When people think of the word scavenger it is usually associated with vermin: raccoons, vultures, hyenas and catfish are examples of scavenging animals. The main difference in humans is that we have a conscience.

The distinction between scavenger and freeloader is a question of motivation. It is easier to sit in one highly trafficked spot downtown and beg aggressively than to dig through Dumpsters for aluminum cans.

Scavengers have always been a part of ecosystems. Some of them subsist on goods college students throw away.

On the other hand, there are those who choose to be houseless not because they cannot afford to

care for themselves, but because it is trendy. San Francisco, Portland and other major cities are hubs for these folks. Chico is a bit out of the way for the youthful vagrant who chooses homelessness because it is fashionable, but some do pass through.

But for all I know they could be schemers. They might have a Lincoln Navigator parked around the corner.

This is nothing new. The beatnik generation paved the way for subsequent nomadic echoes in the

gene pool of the American experience. But those who embrace a vagrant lifestyle don’t reserve the right to be a public menace.

Some people feel a moral obligation to sift through their pockets for degenerates. But it is worth noticing that each time money is given directly to people who ask for it, there is no telling what they will spend it on.

If you are genuinely interested in the well being of those who have less, devote your time, money or extra stuff to an established homeless shelter or thrift shop. A handful of change may temporarily stave off some pangs of guilt, but it will not make a lasting difference.

Female politicians receive biased wardrobe scrutiny Dani Anguiano OPINION COLUMNIST

At both the Republican and Democratic National Conventions, presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama delivered notable speeches.

But speeches aside, there is one question that wasn’t asked: How did they decide what to wear? The men of American politics wear suits every day, yet the price of their attire is often ignored.

On the contrary, for women in politics, attention is diverted away from their views on policies, inspiring speeches and efforts in this country and is instead focused on what they wear and its price tag.

Just one well-made suit worn by a politician can easily cost thousands of dollars.

Obama usually sports his signature navy blue suit. Chicago retailer Hart Schaffner Marx made many of the suits he wore early in his 2008 campaign, as well as his inaugural ball tuxedo.

figures are picking up their suits from Sears, yet they continue to receive little attention or criticism for their fashion choices.

In fact, the most memorable thing said about men’s fashion in the political realm is in regard to Rep. Paul Ryan’s oversized suits. Although Sen. John McCain received criticism for his $520 leather shoes and John Edwards for his expensive haircuts, the costs of the suits male politicians wear are rarely mentioned.

However, both Romney and Obama have received praise for their suits and impeccable taste. The ideas and accomplishments of Obama and Romney would never be reduced to their suits and ties. The same courtesy should be shown to women in politics.

Noting the fashion decisions of political figures is fine, but this should not only occur for females and it should not take away from what they are actually saying.

Struggling with homesickness suitcase and left my boyfriend, family and sunny Southern California home behind for a new experience in the north state. Now that I’m back, it just doesn’t feel the same.

I am now questioning why I decided to go to college so far from home.

Homesick feelings are usually associated with sociotropic people, which are those who have a high level of dependence and a need to please others, according to a 2002 study by Abilene

Carly Caumiant Ca OPINION COLUMNIST OP

Since spending three summer months running along the oceanside on Pacific Coast Highway and spending quality time with my boyfriend and family, it has been a hard transition back to college life.

About this time last year, I was moving to Chico for the first time. I packed up my small

Christian University.

Dependence can ring negative to most. However, being dependent on love is something innate in us as human beings. I have no shame in my dependence on love toward my partner and my family.

The study also found that those individuals who did not express feelings of homesickness were categorized as autonomous people who have more will to act independently from others.

As young adults, we often feel that the more distance the better, and that somehow the farther we are from our parents, the more independence we gain. But looking back, I feel as though I could have gained the same amount of independence while in closer proximity to those who matter most.

Although Chico is in the same state as my loved ones, it is a difficult trip from Orange County, meaning fewer family visits and more costly travels.

THUMBS

I moved to Chico well aware that I would be entering a long distance relationship with my loving and loyal boyfriend, but I didn’t think thoroughly about the repercussions of distance.

While I do not regret my decision to come to Chico because of the inspiring professors and the motivational classes and activities, it is hard for me to hear news from home simply by phone or email. Birthdays and dinner parties still proceed in my absence, and bad news is hard to conquer when all I can give is my voice.

I would never give up my Chico experience. It has helped me discover a part of myself I never knew before. I hope to soon fight off my homesickness bug and dig deep into myself during my last year as an undergrad. I am looking forward to moving south after I graduate in May. But until then, I hope to find the adventure I once knew here in the city of trees.

Thumbs up the upcoming fall TV line-up. “How I Met Your Mother” is coming back!

WEEKLY TOP FIVE Top five reasons not to get certain body piercings COURTESY PHOTO • MOZZERCORK VIA FLICKR

Tara Miller OPINION COLUMNIST

Ear piercings, nose rings, lip rings, dermals, you name it. You can pierce just about any part of your body, but there are side effects to getting some of these. Here is a list of reasons why you shouldn’t get certain piercings.

Dermals can get caught many things, including clothing.

Dermals require that the piercings be put inside the skin, with just part of the jewelry showing. This is an accident waiting to happen.

One of the biggest issues with dermals is that no matter where you decide to get them, there will always be something that can get snagged on them. Whether it’s clothing, hair or even someone else’s flesh, dermals are dangerous.

Naval piercings take a long time to heal, and there is a high chance that your body will reject it.

Yes, naval rings are popular, and many women get them done only to keep up with the trends. But these piercings also take a long time to heal. I’m not talking about a few weeks. I’m talking about six months to a year. Aside from this lengthy healing time, there is a huge chance that the body will reject the piercing, which can lead to scarring. It makes you think twice about that cute little butterfly dangling from your midriff, which might turn into a big bellyache.

Current moments lose meaning with technological distractions Ian Scerri-Martin

Smelly stuff will ooze out of gauges.

Once you start gauging or stretching the piercings in your ears, you’re set for your ears to smell like sewers. Although it is a popular trend, it’s quite the smelly one. You’re stretching out your ears, and when you stretch out any part of your skin, strange odors and weird stuff will slowly start coming out of the skin. Yeah, it can look cool, but just the thought of what happens under those piercings is disgusting.

Septum piercings make you look like a cow.

Septum piercings always remind me of cows. Along with making yourself look like a farm animal, these piercings take a lot of patience. They take about six to 10 weeks. During that time, the cleaning process is also quite the hassle.

All of these piercings have a chance of infection.

Infection is definitely not a pretty sight, and it will always be painful. Trust me, I’ve been there. So please, if you decide to get any kind of piercing, keep them clean.

Here and now seem to be slipping away.

Instead of thinking about how much fun we’re having on our hike to a waterfall or at a concert, I find my friends thinking about the photos or status updates they are going to post on Facebook later.

While many believe this technology allows us to flourish socially, I strongly disagree. Because we now have cyber lives, we neglect real-time relationships.

It is no longer necessary to plan ahead, because we can contact a friend via multiple forms of social media. We have the luxury of being able to contact friends at any given time, regardless of location.

“The amount of people that aimlessly walk around staring at their cellphone screens completely disregarding the actual people walking around them is sad,” said Sabrina Fagliano, a senior business administration major.

Walking through campus feels like walking through an endless landmine of zombies who are consumed by the images displayed on their smartphones.

They don’t even look where they’re walking.

It seems to me that they don’t even know where they are at all.

“I always laugh when people run into things, because they have no sense of anything,” Fagliano said.

I even find myself being pulled away from the present moment because of my cellphone. It happens in class when I’m paying attention to an important lecture and my phone buzzes.

There go two minutes during which I should have been taking notes.

It can happen at a party with some friends when someone I really want to see texts me. All of a sudden I really want to leave the party and my friends.

Or it can be the other way around, which is worse. You are having a great time with a girl at a party when she suddenly has to go.

Chances are that some other guy shot her a text, and next thing you know, game over.

Cellphones and social media have made communicating convenient for us, but the line must be drawn somewhere.

Next time you’re in class and your phone vibrates, challenge yourself not to look at it. Sometimes it’s good to unplug, unwind and enjoy the moment.

Video surfaced Monday of Mitt Romney dismissing supporters of President Barack Obama as feeling entitled to handouts from the government.

“There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it,” Romney said.

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of a sleepdeprived Occupier who just had his light-bulb moment.

ALBUM PREVIEW: No Doubt’s “Push and Shove” More than 10 years since their last album, the 90s ska/punk/reggae band No Doubt will be releasing “Push and Shove” a modernday revival of trumpets, unconventional beats and high energy vocals by lead singer Gwen Stefani. The album’s first single, “Settle Down,” resonates with girl power and sass, and fits perfectly with their distinct style that I have followed since a very young age. Staying true to their roots, it’s hard not to feel “amped up” and increases the anticipation of their upcoming album.

Coupled with a six-night show series at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles, the group’s loyal fan base and newcomers alike have much to look forward to as they will no doubt rocket up the charts.

There is a psychological aspect that comes with playing competitive sports, and athletes have to concentrate in order to stay on top.

THE TRASH TALKER Damario Sims Born: Aug. 5, 1989 Height: 6 feet Weight: 175 pounds Sport: Basketball Position: Guard Secret weapon: Speed and dribble penetration moves

Getting to opponents’ mentally vital in sports Isaac Brambila STAFF WRITER

Strength, speed and skill can take a player far, but a powerful mind can often trump all of that. Concentration can change everything.

The belief that one can perform a certain task can be more valuable than just self-confidence for athletes, said Joel Minden, a professor of psychology and a certified strength and conditioning specialist.

The belief in ability is different in every athlete and some have more than others, but it can potentially differentiate great athletes from the rest.

The unseen game: trash talk and provocation Pushing, kicking, throwing elbows and a little trash talk in between are all parts of the game that sometimes go unnoticed — the psychological game.

Trash talking and other provocations can be very powerful, Minden said. These things can distract players, intimidate them and stop them from focusing on the task at hand, decreasing their self efficacy, or their belief in their ability.

Senior basketball guard Damario Sims knows this strategy well, he said. Through studying an opponent’s weaknesses and verbally attacking them, he gains belief in his own ability while also distracting the opposing player.

Words can be used as weapons.

“You ain’t gonna shoot the three. You ain’t got that shot. You can’t make it, and I’ve seen your numbers.”

These are some of the things Sims says to distract opposing players.

Sims remembers a game when his teammate, senior Jake Lovisolo, won a psychological match with Cal State Stanislaus’ best player, he said.

“Jake was just in his head talking trash the entire time,” Sims said. “I don’t think he had two points that game. He was entirely out of the game.”

It’s important for athletes to stay on top of the psycho-

logical game in order to be successful.

Luis Martinez, a junior soccer midfielder and forward, stands at 5 feet 5 inches tall and is usually a target for fouls, he said.

“It’s a little frustrating,” Martinez said. “I just give them a stare that lets them know, ‘I’m gonna get you back.’”

If the player follows his or her usual routine it’s not usually a problem, but trash talk can sometimes be a distraction, Minden said.

THE BREAKDOWN OF A PITCH

Motivation: home games and momentum shifts There are a lot of variables that can shape the course of a game. The crowd and different circumstances during a game can shift an athlete’s emotional state.

While the adrenaline caused by a supportive crowd or a come-from-behind goal can increase an athlete’s self efficacy and enhance his or her performance, balancing that adrenaline with a high level of concentration is crucial, Minden said.

Martinez remembers a championship soccer game in high school in which his team was losing 2-1 before Martinez tallied two goals to win the championship. The 5-foot-5-inch attacker jumped higher than every other player and scored the ball from a corner kick to give his team the victory.

“I just felt something in me, something in my legs that made me get that high,” Martinez said.

While some adrenaline may be beneficial, too much can be harmful to an athlete’s performance, Minden said.

“Players can get so pumped that all they think about is, ‘I have to win,’ and they stop thinking about how to play the game,” Minden said.

The best things to focus on are individual parts of the game, he said. Players should forget about the score.

Sims identifies with that strategy.

“My thing is same routine every time: Catch it, set my feet, shoot and follow through,” he said.

How the ball is gripped determines the kind of velocity and movement that can be put on any pitch thrown.

Paul Smeltzer SPORTS WRITER

From a physicist’s point of view, pitching for the major leagues boils down to two determining

forces: the force of gravity and the force air has on the ball.

As the ball is launched toward the batter, the way the seams interact with the air is integral to what type of pitch is thrown, physics professor David Kagan said.

“The pitcher can’t do anything about the force of gravity, but the pitcher can change the force that the air exerts by changing the spin on the ball,” Kagan said.

The grip on the ball is also a medium that manipulates the spin before a pitch is released.

There isn’t just one set grip to each type of pitch, Wildcat pitcher Troy Neiman said.

“Amongst the 12 different pitchers at Chico State, most of the pitches that each of us throw are held with a unique grip,” he said.

When a pitcher wants grip, he or she will sometimes put their

fingers on the seams. When a pitcher wants movement, he or she usually won’t place their fingers on the seams.

“They’re just choosing a different axis to spin the ball about, and it’s the spin of the ball that causes the air to exert forces on it,” Kagan said.

“Our philosophy is to find the best athlete who can adjust to your methods of coaching and vice versa.”

CODY HEIN volleyball head coach THE ORION •PHOTOGRAPH BY FRANK REBELO •PHOTO ILLUSTRATION BY DARIUSH AZMOUDEH

Finding versatile athletes crucial to coaching Dennis Wulff STAFF WRITER

Coaching can be defi ned as the work developing character, personality and habits of players, as well as the teaching of fundamentals and team play.

A good coach is essential for a team to be successful. In order for a team to be as good as it can be, players must work with the coach’s goals for the program.

Each sport has a different philosophy on coaching, and each coach looks for different things in players during the recruitment process.

Volleyball head coach Cody Hein’s philosophy is to fi nd the athletes who can adjust to coaching methods and also have coaching methods adapt to them, he said.

Women’s track and field coach Oliver Hanf, however, stresses the importance of gritty players who are willing to put forth extra effort and have the desire to better themselves day in and day out, he said.

The philosophy of coaching is constantly changing from coach to coach and from sport to sport. There are many factors that play in to how a coach manages a team.

Women’s soccer head coach Kim Sutton bases her coaching around creating a fun and

competitive environment for her players to learn, succeed and grow in, she said.

By doing this, she hopes to unite her team, develop a possessive style of play and ultimately win games.

Guidance from a coach is necessary for team members to succeed. Different philosophies will always be used by coaches, and there is no one set philosophy that trumps all others.

Having a knowledgable coach who is able to adapt to different players and teams is key to having success in any sport.

You are what you eat: Proper nutrition essential to performing well Trevor Platt A SST. SPORTS EDITOR

Food is a basic building block that gives athletes the energy they need for exertion during practice, workouts and games. But to produce the best possible performance, proper nutrition, rather than just food, is key. It’s something many athletes overlook and take for granted.

Eating a piece of chocolate cake for breakfast and a burrito an hour before practice is not the fuel needed to achieve maximum performance, said Tracy Berman, a sports nutrition professor.

Proper nutrition can vary greatly from person-to-person and from sport-to-sport.

For endurance athletes, like senior crosscountry runner Adrian Sherrod, it’s not only what they eat but also the amount of food that is important.

“I run 90 miles a week,” Sherrod said.

“Our intake has to be like 6,000 calories a day depending on what kind of person you are.”

While some athletes like to focus on nutrition-based diets such as Paleolithic or

caveman diets, which include eating very little packaged foods and lots of grains and nuts, nutrition should be a way of life.

“Eating healthy is more of a lifestyle choice,” senior women’s soccer forward Shelby Dunlap said. “It fuels your body, especially being an athlete. It is a key to an athlete’s success.”

In the athletes she teaches, Berman notices that some male athletes have more of a problem eating right than eating enough, and female athletes don’t always eat enough.

“The first thing I look at when an athlete comes to me is, ‘When are you eating?

How often are you eating?’” Berman said.

“If you are finding that you are really tired in the afternoon, that could mean that you are not eating enough carbohydrates or not eating enough early in the day.”

Some people can eat three meals per day if they are getting the right foods, while others may have to eat five times per day, Berman said. Nutrition is an individual thing.

THE ORION •PHOTOGRAPH BY BRETT EDWARDS

Freshmen athletes may experience the most challenges in finding proper nutrition. It can be difficult eating the food that is provided in the dorms or the instant meals that many cling to their time in the dorms.

Avoid things that are packaged and filled with a lot of preservatives, Dunlap said.

Athletes should stick to the basics like vegetables or rice chips, which help sustain energy.

One of the most important things athletes can do to maintain a healthy

nutritional lifestyle is to eat regularly.

“You need to eat breakfast and you need to eat a snack and you need to eat lunch all before you train at 1 p.m.,” Berman said.

While most athletes can identify what foods are good and bad for them, it all comes down to actually eating properly.

Achieving the best performance may not always depend on what you eat, but how you eat, Berman said.

Volleyball digs, spikes way to 8-1 season start Jake Martin STAFF WRITER

Volleyball beats Cal Poly Pomona, Humboldt State The Wildcats won their CCAA opener in five sets Friday, battling a Cal Poly Pomona team that came into the weekend riding a five-game winning streak. The team won three of five sets going 25-14, 20-25, 25-14, 18-25 and 15-11.

Junior Alex Shurtz led the way for the ’Cats with 19 kills, while sophomore Lindsay Quigley posted a career-high 18 kills. Senior Sable Villaescusa dished 43 assists as well as a pair of aces and 10 digs. Emily Duran served three aces, and Jessica Simms had a pair of aces of her own. She led the team with 18 digs.

Humboldt State was dropped in four sets with scores of 25-9, 25-20, 21-25 and 25-19 Saturday. The match was Coach Cody Hein’s 200th victory, and the team improved to 2-0 in CCAA play and 8-1 on the season.

In Saturday’s match, Villaescusa kicked out 29 assists to Schurtz and Quigley, who had 14 and 13 kills respectively. Simms added five assists and 14 digs. Molly Ratto added an impressive 12 digs, along with Duran’s

team-leading 17 digs. Duran also served up a pair of aces for the ’Cats.

Women’s soccer splits weekend games The Wildcats fell in overtime to the Cal State Monterey Bay Otters, 2-1, on Friday. Goalkeeper Brianna Furner had five saves, while junior defenseman Gail Basset kicked the lone goal for the ’Cats.

The team bounced back against Cal State East Bay by pulling off 1-0 victory Sunday. In a hard-fought battle, both teams went scoreless until the final 10 minutes of the game, when senior Denni Jo Berger scored the only goal on a crucial pass from junior forward Scotie Walker to edge the Pioneers. The Wildcats improved to 4-2 overall and 2-2 in conference.

Men’s soccer wins, ties matches The men’s soccer team shut out Cal State Monterey Bay Friday to improve its CCAA record to 2-1 and its overall record to 3-2.

Professors bring back the Dead Aubrey Crosby Risa Johnson

SE X COLUMNIST

A friend of mine once told me that I masturbate as often as a teenage boy.

I assumed she was joking. Women definitely do it just as much as men.

Despite the social stigma about females playing with themselves, let’s be honest, we do it too.

About 63 percent of men aged 20-24 masturbate once a month, according to a Kinsey Institute study from 2010.

According to a Cosmopolitan magazine survey conducted in January, 96 percent of women do it, and 56 percent of women find time for a one-on-one session every other day.

For a lot of women, there Masturbation is also is a high level a great way to relax of embarrassment at the end of a long associated day. with discussing how often they touch themselves. Obviously, I am not one of those women, and I think everyone should be as open as I am about their masturbation habits.

Women who masturbate have higher selfesteem and a better body image. We live in a society that rewards confidence.

Masturbating, whether with a toy or just a hand, is a great way to get in touch with your sexuality. Women who use toys like vibrators during masturbation have more frequent orgasms and report having more sexual bliss with their partners, according to the Berman Center.

Masturbation is also a great way to relax at the end of a long day. When you are lying in bed after spending countless hours in class, writing papers and trying to have a social life, the best way to unwind is to give yourself a little TLC. When you orgasm, your brain releases dopamine, a chemical that produces a calming effect as well as feelings of euphoria and pleasure.

Masturbation allows you the chance to explore your body at your own pace. You learn what feels good, and that leads to more enjoyable experiences with a partner. The more your partner knows what you like and where you like it, the better your sex is going to be.

Women need to make the social stigma about self-stimulation disappear. The benefits clearly outweigh any embarrassment, which will dissipate once you become more comfortable talking about your habits.

So ladies, grab your vibrators and lock your boyfriends out. Tonight is about you.

WORLD MUSIC Chico State math professor Mark Wilpolt, left, and retired Chico State music professor Paul Freidlander, right, perform Saturday with their band Reckoning in Taylor Hall at the Chico World Music Festival. Reckoning plays Grateful Dead cover songs with a bluegrass twist and is made up of Chico teachers.

Teachers don’t just grade homework in their spare time, especially the ones who make up Reckoning, a Grateful Dead cover band.

Reckoning consists of Chico State and Butte College math professor Mark Wilpolt on mandolin, retired Chico State music professor Paul Friedlander on bass, retired middle school teacher Lloyd Foote on banjo and former elementary school teacher’s aide Cambell Church on guitar.

The bluegrass band was one of 10 bands that played at the annual Chico World Music Festival on Saturday.

The group performs songs strictly by The Grateful Dead or related side projects by Grateful Dead members.

They coined the term “deadgrass” for their combination of covers and bluegrass roots.

“If people are tapping their feet, it is a success,” Wilpolt said. “If people are dancing, it is a super success.”

Reckoning practices once a week when they have an upcoming performance, and the band has played at almost every venue in Chico.

The band profits from some of its shows, while other times the members donate their services to venues and events such as the Chico Women’s Club and the Chico World Music Festival.

The group occasionally ventures out of Chico to play. Reckoning performed in Nevada City before the Burning Man music festival this year.

As a professor and musician, what little free time Wilputs has is dedicated to his music.

Wilpolt often jokingly tells his math students that he has an alter ego.

He finds student reactions to his hobby funny, he said. “‘Dude, I saw you playing!’ is always fun to hear,” Wilpolt said.

Reckoning first formed for a birthday party performance. The band members expected their musical careers to be short-lived, but they have been playing together for three years.

“After one night of fun, we couldn’t quit,” said Foote, the banjo player.

Friedlander, the retired music professor, loves how the band is creative and improvisational, much like The Grateful Dead. While the band members rehearse the songs they play, they generally freestyle their solos.

“Not only do we play their songs, but we also adopt some of their ways of doing things,” Friedlander said.

Chico freshman rides in nationals

THE ORION •PHOTOGRAPH BY FRANK REBELO

RIDIN’ HIGH Hunter Lemke, a freshman agricultural business major, straddles the bull Cookie Monster in the 18th annual National Bullriding Championship Finals Saturday at the Diamond Western Rodeo at Silver Dollar Fairground. With a seven-second ride, Lemke did not place in the competition.

Lemke started riding sheep when he was 4 or 5 and has been riding bulls in competitions since age 15. Lemke attends Chico State during the week and travels on the weekends to compete. He injured his leg while bullriding a few weeks before the event but competed despite the injuries.

Behind the script with ‘The Daily Show’ a Stephen Colbert stand up at the green screen and he said “Jon, I can’t help but be moved, because I’m the son of a turd miner.”

Nicole Gerspacher STAFF WRITER

Jason Ross, a scriptwriter for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” returned to his hometown of Chico to speak at the Bell Memorial Union Auditorium Friday.

Ross spoke about political humor and the way it is used as satire on “The Daily Show.”

He explained why these types of shows are so popular among Americans compared to traditional newscasts.

The Orion sat down with Ross for a one-on-one interJASON ROSS view to hear about his work.

Scriptwriter for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”

The Orion: Are you guys ever worried about offending anybody when you are writing the script?

Ross: Sometimes we make jokes about it and it sort of is in the back of your mind but if the joke is there you have to take it. Otherwise the whole franchise starts to implode if you start worrying about who you are offending. There is a cost to offending people, but from our point of view there is a bigger cost for not going for the jokes when they are there.

The Orion: How many of the jokes are written into the script and how much of it is Jon Stewart making it up on the fly?

Ross: He’s a comic. He can improvise, but the show is a very written and rewritten show.

We try to make it look spontaneous, and Jon is always pushing us to write jokes that are to be performed and not just read.

The Orion: How did you get a job with “The Daily Show”?

Ross: It’s a long story. These jobs come about from a combination of what you know and who you know. I had some great contacts and more importantly they believed in me. Nobody is going to risk The Orion: What is Jon Stewart really like? their job to hire you because you know them.

My birthday celebrations started four days early this year. Ten strangers and one friend sang me “Happy Birthday” before I collected my free half-dozen eggs from Chris’ Egg Farm at the Thursday Night Market.

As my cheeks turned red from embarrassment, my inner saver was delighted at the $2.50 I saved by not having to buy the eggs.

It got me thinking of other places in Chico that serve something free for the birthday guest.

Instead of barhopping for your birthday this year, go foodhopping.

FOOD COLUMN: Without an oven Annie Paige FOOD COLUMNIST

When I left home for college I left behind my friends, my dog and my family – but the hardest part was leaving behind my oven.

Baking is my favorite hobby. Yeah, sure, some dorms have those less-than-inviting closet kitchens, but even if you are brave enough to try it, chances are someone beat you to it.

That’s why I found a way to keep my

hobby of making delicious treats by getting creative.

Forget about the oven. The refrigerator is about to become your new best friend on your confectionery adventures.

Non-bake baked goods take no time at all, and you can eat the dough without worrying about salmonella. My personal favorite treat – Oreo truffles.

Roll them, refrigerate them and mark them with a toothpick. You’ll want to make these as much as your waistline will allow. Beyond the obvious delicious taste

of the wonderful combination of Oreos and chocolate, they are easy to make.

Don’t worry about running out unless you have a plethora of friends or are having a party. These truffles are as rich as they sound. Eat more than four of these little guys and you’ll feel like your gut is about to burst.

Oven or not, you have no excuses. Make yourself something sweet.
