Glick res, bans Hussein from UNR

Managing Editor
University President Milton Glick red professor Hussein S. Hussein on Friday, going against the recommendation of three of the four people on Husseins hearing committee and its judge. Hussein, who has sued dozens of administrators, including Glick, said police escorted him off campus, locking him and his graduate student out of his lab in the Fleischmann Agriculture Building. Glick also prohibited Hussein from coming to campus without an administrative escort.

Hussein lost his job Friday when Glick ruled harsher than recommended by the special committee members.
I have been treated in the most humiliating way you can treat a human being, Hussein said.
Hussein said we have to appeal the decision. Laurie Bollinger, Husseins sole graduate student, will need a new Ph.D. adviser. She has worked with Hussein for
six years and plans to graduate in December. Glick wrote that Marsha Read, associate vice president of the graduate school, will take charge of Bollingers program. Hearing ofcer Peter Breen, a former Washoe County judge, ruled before spring break that Hussein should be cleared of plagiarism charges but should face a reprimand for mislabeling more than $900,000 in donations as gifts instead of research grants. The University of Nevada, Reno can take a portion of grants to cover indirect costs such as facilities and administration.

Council upholds election results

Staff Report
After students questioned its legitimacy, there will not be a new student government election because the judicial council ruled no one proved the violations affected the election. The newly elected ofcers will be sworn in Wednesday as planned. The student judicial council ruled Monday that none of the above should not have been a choice on the presidential ballot and incumbent should not have been on the liberal arts senate ballot next to Taylor R. Andersons name. Anderson said he thought the decision was fair. Before the election, the judicial council decided to list the two Taylor Andersons in alphabetical order and use middle initials. Incumbent was never intended to be on the ballot. I agree with the decisions the judicial council to made because of the consequences a new election would have on the student body, said Attorney General Lindsey Sanford, who defended the election commission in both cases. A new election would have caused more harm than good. The council ruled Friday that the 23 none of the above votes from Marchs presidential election are illegal and will be thrown out, ofcially making Eli Reilly the next Associated Students of the University of Nevada president. I thought (the decision) was fair, Sen. Shane Steinbauer said. Corinna (Cohn) didnt really emphasize the harm that could have been done. So, with what we gave them, I think they made a fair decision. Steinbauer and Corinna Cohn led a charge against the election commission last month because none of the above was not supposed to be a choice on the presidential or vice presidential ballots. If none of the above votes were counted as part of the total votes in the presidential race, neither Reilly nor his opponent, Sen. Carmen Gilbert, would have received a majority of the votes, which Websters Dictionary denes as more than half of the votes. Without the none of the above votes included in the total number of votes, Reilly won the majority of votes. I think they made the right decision, president-elect Eli Reilly said. Ill be ready with my slate of nominees (for the presidents cabinet) Wednesday and am ready to take ofce.

BY THE NUMBERS
os knows life in Mexico only from the stories his parents tell him. Mostly he remembers hearing about how his dad never went to school and sometimes didnt have enough to eat growing up. Because of those struggles, Joss dad moved the family to America in 1994, where an education and a better life were possible. Now a business major at the University of Nevada, Reno, the undocumented 19-year-old is fullling what his parents brought him here to do. And although he faces chances of prison time and deportation, Jos isnt scared because life in America is all he knows. Jos said. I dont live in the shadows. Ive lived here for so long the fact that I am here illegally doesnt even go through my mind. When he was 4 years old, Jos slept in the backseat of the car while he, his two younger siblings and mother were smuggled into the United States. His father was already illegally in California when the rest of the family crossed into the United States to join him. Jos and his family are not alone. About 13 million illegal immigrants live in the United States, according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Every year, about 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school and only about 10 percent go to college, according to the Immigration Policy Center. Jos is one of those few attending American universities, despite the risk of being discovered and not qualifying for nancial aid.

FACES OF NEVADA
Cross the country for charity

Jett Chapman
Staff Writer
University Nevada, Reno student Glenn Shapley plans to bike 4,000 miles across the country this summer all for charity. As a part of Push America, a non-prot organization for people with disabilities sponsored by fraternity Pi Kappa Phi, Shapley will take part in the Journey of Hope. The bicycle ride will take Shapley and others on a two-month trek from San Francisco to Washington D.C. Shapley, a 21-year-old music major, is a member of the Reno chapter of Pi Kapp and is the only local member that will embark on the Journey of Hope. According to the Push America Web site, about 85 men from various Pi Kapp chapters around the country will make up three different teams. The TransAmerica team will start in Seattle while the North and South Teams will start in San Francisco. On June 15, Shapley will start his cycling journey as part of the North Team in San Francisco. From there he will ride 75 miles a day with 30 other Journey of Hope team members, according to the Push America Web site. Shapley says all three teams will meet at the capitols steps in Washington D.C. on August 16,

After these organizations receive these grants, they can use them in any way they want to help the disabled, Phillips said. Phillips said there will be 50 stops in cities such as Salt Lake City, Denver and Carson City, for friendship visits, which allow team members to visit places like clinics and rehabilitation centers for children and adults with disabilities. On these visits, the Journey of Hope members can spend time with people and take them bowling, to play basketball or whatever activities they would like to do, Phillips said. Shapley said he will help host a puppet show called Kids on the Block throughout the journey. This program is designed to teach kids to see the person rst, creating an environment where kids feel more comfortable asking the puppets questions.

and a celebratory banquet will be held. A senior at UNR, Shapley said this is the perfect way to spend his last summer. Shapley said after graduating he will join the working world and may not have an available summer to do an event like this in the future. I am excited about all the different states I will see, riding through the Rockies and encountering all kinds of unpredictable weather, said Shapley. To train for the event, Shapley said he has been riding 20- to 25-mile rides three to four times a week. By early June, he will be doing training rides of 60 miles three times a week. Shapley said he wants to remain partnered with Push America after he graduates and always be a part of the organization. Shapley said this is his rst experience doing a long distance bicycle ride and he has been training for it since last December. When I get to that huge hill I dont want to climb, I remember this ride is for someone else, Shapley said. My thoughts are on helping people across America. Shapley said his goal is to raise $5,000 in donations for Push America. Adam Phillips, marketing and public relations representative for Push America, said all the money raised on the Journey of Hope goes in the form of grants to all the organizations the Journey of Hope visits along the route.

Some participants went to the event to support the cause and others to support the sorority or for general health.

They can also call the ofces at 775-784-6505 and reserve the room over the phone. Rooms need be reserved at least two weeks in advance. When they speak to a scheduling assistant, people should know the date they want the event, how many people they plan on having at the event and whether they will need any equipment, such as microphones or projectors. The Joe staff is currently working on an online system for people to rent rooms. People can reserve rooms two years in advance.
A few on-campus events will acknowledge this weeks International Violence and Crimes Awareness Week. Tuesday: Seorita Extraviada, a lm, will be shown from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in room 2023 in the William J.

Theres been a lot of violence on campus and around campus this year. Its really affected the climate of campus, said Danielle Biselli, co-chair of Women Without Borders, an organization that helped plan the event. Violence sties peoples lives.

Student clubs recognized by the Associated Students of the University of Nevada dont have to pay to reserve a room. However, costs for student workers to work the event from moving furniture to running technical equipment vary depending on the attendance of the event. If an event has more than 150 people in attendance, the club will have to pay for a Joe staffer to run the event because of safety concerns. The cost is $11 per hour for each staffer running the event. These costs apply to use of The Joe movie theater on the third oor. Costs for people associated with the university who are not part of a student club can be found at The Joes administrative ofces.

ob internships are about more than resumes and work experience. Women need to take their appearance into account while on the job and especially during the interview. Reno fashion consultant Betty Jayne offers advice to students on ways to impress future employers. You have to come together as a package, Jayne said. You have to look in the mirror and ask yourself, Is this the type of person I would hire? Part of the package is not drawing too much attention to the suit, Jayne said. You dont want anything to take away form your face, Jayne said.

Avoid low-cut shirts, showing off your cleavage is not appropriate for a job interview
PANT SUIT VS. SKIRT SUIT

Both are professional and acceptable. The skirt suit is classic and preferred by most employers, Jayne said. There are still age groups that still prefer seeing a woman in a skirt, Jayne said. A good way to determine which to wear is to visit the building during normal work hours and see how others are dressed. Mimic that for the interview.
TOP TO BOTTOM
Hair
Wear your hair so it is pulled back from the face and people can see your eyes.
Makeup
Stick with natural colors. Some girls are putting different colors on their eyes, and thats not appropriate for an interview, Jayne said.
Its unprofessional to have any nonnatural colors or acryllics on your nger nails
PHOTOS BY DANIEL CLARK /NEVADA SAGEBRUSH
Shirt Cut: The shirt should be no lower than two inches from the
bottom of the neck. A jewel neckline is the safest length for a job interview. If youre going for an interview in a retail place then you could do a little more but youre always safe with a jewel neckline, Jayne said. Length: If you are wearing a jacket, the shirt sleeves need to come to the wrist. If you are going without the jacket, it should be long sleeves, but at the least, cover the shoulders. Color: Plain shirts work best. Designs often distract from the face.
Jacket Fit: The jacket needs to match the persons height. Shorter women need to
stay away from jackets with square pockets so as not to break up their body. Tall women should wear jackets that reach their hipline. Color: Jackets should be in business colors: black, brown, blue or tan.
Pants
The front of the pants need to have a slight crease to create a longer look. The pants should reach the part of the shoe where the heel and the shoe meet. Jayne said it might look long, but the pants should be a little longer when standing straight. This is to avoid the pants being too short when sitting.
Skirt
The skirt needs to look professional, meaning it cannot be too short. To determine skirt length, put your arms down standing straight. The skirt should not be higher than your ngertips.
Pantyhose
Pantyhose are not necessarily a must. However, they do add to the overall professional look. If you are wearing open-toed shoes and your nails are not painted, wear pantyhose. They should be either tan or nude in color. Black pantyhose should never be worn with a suit.
Shoes
If you are tall, stick with a small or wedge heel. For shorter women, a taller heel is allowed. Avoid shoes with spiky heels and shoes that have multiple straps. Open-toed shoes are acceptable if your toes and feet are well-groomed.
Nails
Paint your nails a neutral color such as light orange, nude or clear. Do not wear false nails to an interview because it distracts people from your face.
Perfume
Perfume is not needed for an interview. Its distracting and you run into people who are allergic, Jayne said. To avoid running into allergy problems but maintain a nice smell, wear mildly scented lotion with a hint of something natural or vanilla.
Purse
Either bring a briefcase or a small purse to the interview. A large purse could look sloppy and unprofessional. Some people think a big purse just has a lot of junk in it, Jayne said.
Accessories
Keep them to a minimum. Wear a small necklace that complements either your shirt or your eyes. Earrings should be small. Nothing big and bulky, Jayne said. The person needs to be focused on your eyes, not your jewelry.
Tattoos and multiple piercings

In a strict bussiness enviroment tattoos need to be covered up. Tattoos draw attention away from your qualications and on to the artwork. Piercings should be kept to one in each ear.

Glick, who held the nal decision, red Hussein. Your acts in these areas demonstrate serious misconduct over many years, Glick wrote. Hussein said this is the latest in the schemes to destroy him. He has 11 lawsuits against university and NSHE ofcials. His allegations range from embezzlement to harassment to retribution. Hussein said the ght started in 2005 when he reported animal care violations at a UNR research farm. The U.S. Department of Agriculture ned UNR $11,400 for 46 violations that year. (My ght against the university) is not going to go away, Hussein said. They think this is going to put me on my knees and get me to drop my lawsuits and thats not going to happen. Hussein faced termination immediately after the USDA investigation. The 2005 charges were that Hussein damaged university property. He hired a veterinarian to take blood and fecal samples from pigs that were foaming from the mouth. Those charges were later dropped.

former QSU president Caley Murray said. Murray said 43 people participated in the effort. Christina Townsend, a 24-year-old art and mechanical engineering double major, adopted Ronnie, a man living in Reno, who wanted to donate blood, but couldnt because of the FDA policy. Its unfair, Townsend said. They need to reevaluate the law. FDA spokeswomen Karen Riley said the policy is not meant to discriminate, but was adopted to protect the HIV virus from spreading. Riley said the policy is based on a study by the FDA that found men who have had sexual relations with other men are 60 times more likely to carry the virus than the general population, 800 times more likely than
rst-time blood donors and 8,000 times more likely than repeated blood donors. Its not that were saying were frowning on the practice, Riley said. We just recognize the risk. Despite the FDA statistics, the American Civil Liberties Union in Nevada believes the policy is discriminating and needs to change. Its an irrational rule, Lee Rowland, northern coordinator for the ACLU of Nevada, said. AIDS can affect anyone. A blanket ban on gay males is not only a bad policy because it prohibits people who want to help it also creates stereotypes that gay men have a disease. Rowland said the stereotype that gay men have AIDS is not only discrimination but a stereotype that is outdated. According to a study by the Center for Disease Control in 1994, the HIV virus was spreading mostly through heterosexual intercourse.
Straight men can have a disease too. Theyre (the FDA) correlating the word gay with disease, Alex Korostinsky, a 20-year-old physiology major who adopted a gay man for the blood drive, said. Science has given UBS a way of screening blood that has a one in a million chance of catching blood disease, Riley said. Riley said although a one-in-a million chance may seem small, UBS receives over 20 million blood donations per year, meaning there is a chance 20 people could receive HIV from a blood transfer. For men who have sex with men, it is discouraging, Riley said. But we have to balance that against the risk of 20 people being infected per year. Riley said the policy was reevaluated last year and can be reevaluated again. Its something we will always reexamine with new data, Riley said.

Then he sells the products for his prot. He said he hopes the experience and the business degree hes working toward will help him develop his online business into something bigger for the future. Ive seen his work ability and its nothing different from a citizen, said Kyle, who has known Jos for eight years. Hes trying to contribute to the economy by going to school and getting a good job. Hes not just sitting around using what America has to offer. Unlike Jos, many undocumented students are unsure of what will happen next, according to UNR faculty who work with undocumented students. Many dont apply for college some fear exposing their families or cant afford tuition. According to the Immigration Policy Center, about 10 percent of undocumented students go to college. About 65 percent of U.S.-born high school graduates went to college last year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. The Nevada System of Higher Education estimates about 447 undocumented Nevada high school graduates attend college, but they dont know how many total undocumented students graduate from Nevada high schools. All estimates are guesses because there are not efcient ways to track undocumented people, Jane Nichols, vice chancellor for NSHE, said.
once he has his business degree, despite challenges many undocumented people face in nding jobs. He said he knows people that will help him get through policies if problems happen when applying for jobs. But for many students without legal status, getting a degree is a challenge. Many majors, like education, require internships, which require background checks and a Social Security number. Perez said he knows students who base their career choices around a eld they can earn a degree without legal status. He said hes talked to students who question whether they should go to school at all if they wont be able to nd a job after graduation. My advice to them is to always stay in school, he said. A degree is something no one can take away from you. Get as much education as possible because it helps build a case (to get citizenship) later. Once pursuing a degree, some students face worries about being discovered and deported. Some UNR students told Perez they feared going to class or leaving their homes, especially when they hear about immigration raids, like the McDonalds raids that captured local and national headlines last year. Other undocumented students declined interviews from The Nevada Sagebrush in fear of being exposed. Its a tragic situation, Perez said. Seeing them struggle and suffer and not having the same opportunities to pursue their dreams there is something wrong about the way we are treating them. Perez said most of these students didnt choose to come to the United States, so the barriers they face in getting an education are unfair. About 2 million undocumented people under the age of 18 live in the United States, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. The DREAM Act, legislation that has been discussed in Congress for about seven years, would give illegal immigrants under 16 years old a path toward citizenship. They would be granted six years of legal residency if they graduate from a two-year college, complete two years toward a four-year degree or serve in the military for at least two years. Jos is not hopeful the DREAM Act will pass because it has already been in Congress for so long. For now, he plans to continue living in the United States illegally until he can get citizenship. I was raised here, he said. Theres better opportunity here. Its the American dream.

IN-STATE TUITION FOR UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS

In most states states, undocumented students are required to pay out-of-state tuition even if they attend an in-state university. Ten states allow undocumented students to pay instate tuition, according to the National Immigration Law Center. In those states, instate tuition is granted if they graduate from an in-state high school, attend a university instate for a certain number of
Universities just dont have any way to know, Nichols said. We just dont ask. UNR does not check whether prospective students are citizens of the United States and doesnt require Social Security numbers on applications because of privacy issues, the admissions ofce said. The university accepts students based on their applications. If you meet the criteria, you meet the criteria, Steve Maples, director of admissions, said. I just want as many qualied people to come here as possible. If UNR were to nd out about undocumented students, it would not report them because students information is protected through privacy laws, according to the admissions ofce. However, all illegal immigrants are subject to deportation, regardless if they are students, said Lori Haley, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Our role is to ensure that people in this country are here
patriotism. He said one of his classmates teased about losing the award to Jos, who wasnt even an American citizen. At school, his peers surrounded him with American culture. Like many kids, he played baseball, basketball and football in high school and enjoyed hanging out with friends. I can probably speak English better (than Spanish) now and I know more American (than Mexican) history, Jos said. At home, his parents immersed him in his Mexican roots. He watches Spanish television and eats Mexican food. His family used to celebrate Mexican holidays, but now practices American traditions, like Thanksgiving, too. Whether at school or home, Jos learned the value of education. After graduating from high school in 2006, Jos tried to join the Marines, but he said he was rejected because he didnt have a Social Security number. I wanted to do something for this country, put my part in, since I have been living here, he said. Disappointed, he applied for a few colleges and decided to attend UNR which doesnt require a Social Security number to apply. I want to get ahead in life, said Jos, who is the rst person in his family to go to college. Now a sophomore in college, Jos is already working toward a business career. Last month, he used his tax identication number to get his business license.
years have a pending applicayears, tion to legalize their status or agree to apply for legal status when possible. Nevada State Higher Education ofcials said Nevada accepts graduation from a Nevada high school to prove residency for in-state tuition, but Nevada was not included in national reports. Last year, the Nevada legislature decided to deny state
legally and that our country is safe, she said.
nancial nancial aid to students who could not provide citizenship. Now, undocumented students can only receive the Millennium Scholarship if they indicate they will pursue legal status. However, ofcials say there will be no follow-up as of right now. Nichols said NSHE estimates 96 undocumented students used the Millennium Scholarship last school year.
after spending a year-and-a-half in a California federal prison. Jos knows most businesses dont check the numbers, but universities do when giving federal nancial aid. He also knows not to carry his Social Security card with him because hed receive a felony if he were caught. I see my friends and they dont really have to worry about this stuff. They can get loans and scholarships, he said. I am happy for them that they dont have to go through the burden that I have to go through. Most private scholarships require an application to the FAFSA, which requires a Social Security number. I would never recommend undocumented students to apply (and accept federal) nancial aid because it is a criminal offense and it would place them in a worse position in the long run, said Daniel Perez, an assistant professor of Chicano and Latino Studies at UNR. It would lead to major issues when they apply for citizenship. It could ruin all their chances. Perez is also working with the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies, which is in the process of establishing a scholarship fund for undocumented students who have graduated from high school and are pursuing a college degree. The organization is one of few across the United States that will give or gives nancial aid to undocumented students. Araceli Martinez, program coordinator for the Center for Student Cultural Diversity, came to the United States illegally when she was six years old. Although Martinez became a citizen before college, some illegal immigrants who attend UNR conde in her, so she understands their struggles. They try to balance expenses with school and helping their family, she said. Its not as easy for them to go to college and do well.
FINANCIAL AID
Jos learned being accepted to college wasnt going to be as easy as just going to school he had to decide how to pay for it too. When he was lling out his Free Application for Federal Student Aid, he stopped when his eyes scanned to the fourth question. It required a Social Security number, something he didnt have. Without a Social Security number or student visa, Jos is ineligible for federal scholarships, grants and loans. So instead of upgrading their two 14-year-old cars or moving out of their apartment and into a house, Joss parents pay all his tuition while supporting their three other children. It sucks to know they could get farther ahead in life if it wasnt for this burden (of) paying for my school, he said. To help pay for his living expenses, Jos occasionally sells beef jerky for untaxed cash in California. He resorted to buying a fake Social Security card in November so he could get a job in Reno too. Although situations vary, it takes most undocumented people between seven and 10 years to gain legal status, said Marie Sebrechts, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Joss parents have been trying to get citizenship for their family for a few years. He said the process is long and expensive. His mom has stopped putting in as much effort toward the process. Jos plans to apply for citizenship after he starts his career. Although they are not citizens, Jos and his parents pay taxes. He said both of his parents also have fake Social Security cards so they can work. Jos knows to be careful because one of his family members was caught using a fake Social Security number when he applied for a passport. He was deported

STORY: ATO FOUND GUILTY OF HAZING On April 11, 9:18 a.m., Anonymous ATO wrote: Now that the punishment has been set and the issue is no longer under an appeal, I have decided to come forward and address this article. I am one of the ATOs that has been involved in this recent investigation. To rid the rumors that have been spread on campus, I want to say that we never fed our pledges raw chicken. We never did anything to intentionally hurt or cause the sickness of our pledges. We believe that one of our active members may have undercooked something but it was never intended to cause potential harm. We take responsibility for what we did and are not trying to dismiss the fact that we partook in the alleged hazing activities. Through this whole experience, we have been made aware of our ignorance and lack of understanding of the entire situation. We were told that if we were truthful, the university would work with us. We agreed to change and wanted that change not only for the fraternity but ourselves as individuals. We came up with a proposal which was hardly considered by UNR. We worked with the National Chapter to find a way to rid ATO of the bad eggs and start fresh but we were never given the chance. The University feels that if they completely start over that it will rid the chapter of such ignorance. I completely agree with the Greek board but on the other hand I want to express that there are a lot of good guys in our chapter that would do anything for anybody and wish we were just given the opportunity to prove ourselves. In two years we will be back with all new members and I look forward to helping build this new, stronger fraternity.

STAFF EDITORIAL I ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Give undocumented students amnesty
ut of the millions of students graduating from American high schools this year, about 65,000 of those graduates are in this country illegally. About 10 percent of those 65,000 students will attend a college or university this fall. Most of those students will receive no financial aid. Many will spend their college careers in a constant state of fear, unable to afford the cost or risk of obtaining legal status in the United States. Several students at the University of Nevada, Reno
who are here illegally did not want to comment for our front page story this week because of the possibility of deportation. These are people who are seeking to make their lives, and our society, better with a college education. They are not criminals, no matter what cable news might suggest. Undocumented students in Nevada and almost every state, despite any achievements theyve made in their academic careers, cannot apply for state or federal financial aid. Many undocumented
immigrants about 2 million of them came to the United States as children. Theyve grown up living in two worlds, existing as citizens of two countries. One officially, the other illegally. But in the end, whats the difference? Undocumented immigrants, especially their children, deserve amnesty. And they deserve it now. Students living here illegally should have the ability to live without fear of sending a parent to prison or deportation. We understand this isnt an easy issue and it wont be solved overnight. But its also
not as black and white as some people would like to think. The estimated 13 million people in the United States illegally arent going anywhere any time soon. It would be foolish to think we can deport them, no matter what Lou Dobbs says. But at the same time, we must nd a way to curb illegal border crossing without creating a moral hazard by simply granting amnesty to everyone. The demand is obviously there for a chance at life in the United States. Why dont we make it easier
to obtain it? While it may not solve the entire problem, there is an obvious solution that needs to be made: grant undocumented immigrants legal status if they want to pursue an education. After all, who are we to deny someone the right to a better life if they are willing to get an education? Its time that we demand action from our leaders. Its time to let these students worry more about contributing back to society than forcefully leaving it.

Advice for a successful onenight stand
he Sagebrushs sex columnist is off this week, so Im jumping in and writing a sex column from a males point of view for a change. With women dominating the conversations on sex with female sex writers and things like Sex and the City and The Vagina Monologues, society has neglected men on the topic of sex for decades. This week, fellas, Im writing about how to have a successful one-night stand. Theyre difcult to pull off but if you play your cards correctly, you can win a royal ush without giving the dealer your name or phone number! Those are the best kind of royal ushes. On a Friday or Saturday night, make yourself presentable by combing your hair and wearing some nice clothes. And when you hit the town, take a male friend with you so that he can be your wingman when you approach a group of eager ladies. The most important part of this process is knowing how to nd your victim. They come in all shapes and sizes: 36DD, 32C, etc. I nd that when youre scanning the bar, the willing usually have a low cleavage to high drunkenness ratio. If shes laughing hysterically and playfully touching Jordan C. anyone that walks by, bingo! Butler Take your wingman and approach your target. Buy her a drinkif she accepts your offer, youve hit the jackpot. Then when she asks for your name, lie. If your name is Steven, it is now Mike. If your name is Chris, its now Kyle. Nick? Dan. Tommy? Jimmy. Because the last thing you want is the possibility of the girl Facebooking your name the next morning and pursuing you for a relationship. Trust me: A good game needs a fake name. Same thing with your professiontell her you do something attractive. If youre a student, tell her youre a guitar player on tour. All chicks dig musicians. Other attractive professions include being a doctor, pilot or reghter. To be extra successful at one-night stands, write and memorize a funny story or two to go along with your fake profession to make her laugh. Laughing girls are horny girls. Buy her another drink or six and then insist that you go back to her place. Youll drive. When youre at her home and have already fed it to her, give her some pillow talk until she falls asleep. After the alcohol and sex, it wont take long. Wait another 15 minutes or so to make sure she wont wake up, then quietly put on your clothes and tiptoe out of the bedroom and to your car. With any luck, shell wake up the next morning without any memory of a reghting Mike introducing his pet snake to her cage. Ladies, I know what youre thinking: Youre a pig, Jordan C. Butler! Youre disgraceful! How can you advocate treating women like this? Well, ladies, I hear you loud and clear, but Im actually doing women a favor. You see, Im a feminist. Society shouldnt tell women how to behavewomen should have the freedom to treat their bodies however they want. Wed be treating women like children if we told them they couldnt sleep with men two hours after meeting them in a bar. Whether they want to be conservative and modest or promiscuous and kinky, women should have that choice. That is the logic of female empowerment and sexual independence. And with this column, Im helping men liberate promiscuous and kinky women everywhere! So go forth, fellas, and meet your equals for a one-night stand. Theyre waiting for you.

What does YouTube say about us as a generation?

ust last week I asked myself the question: What is chocolate rain? For anyone who avidly watches YouTube videos, you know what Im talking about. Tay Zonday, a 25-year-old singer/songwriter with an unusually deep voice that gives Barry White a run for his money, recorded a song calledsurprise, surprise Chocolate Rain. The video accumulated 17 million views as of March 31 this year. Think thats impressive? Any YouTube fan will know the sensation Krystal of Chris Bick Crocker and his infamous Leave Britney Alone video. Seventy-two million times, people sat down to watch a hysterical feminine-looking man cry, smearing his poorly applied eye liner over the train wreckI mean, tragedywe know as Britney Spears. But perhaps my all-timefavorite video would have to be none other than a chipmunk.
This is a dramatic chipmunk, who, with a piercing evil eye, strikes fear into all who watch it. Only seven million views, but sometimes its about quality, not quantity, right? As these videos continue and YouTube quickly becomes the invention that everyone hits themselves for not thinking of rst, its hard to disagree that we are a generation that lms everything. While our parents participated in protests to express their political views, we have Obama Girl on YouTube to tell us why she has a crush on the senator from Illinois. While our grandparents enjoyed evening radio shows for family entertainment, we can watch dysfunctional families swap moms and become even more dysfunctional. And while we all hate to admit it, we still watch. Does it make us selfabsorbed? Maybe. Is it narcissistic to want to post videos of ourselves for the whole world to see? Id say so. But is it too hard to turn away from? Well, YouTube and The Hills wouldnt be in business if it werent. What is it about reality TV that we nd so teasingly unrealistic that we have to watch? How
do seven strangers really stop acting polite and start acting real in front of cameras? How do people stranded on islands really survive when theres never any danger of facing the true wild? For a generation thats living through an Orwellian nightmare of wiretapping and spying, we have oddly enough created reality shows like Big Brother. The irony is too much. And for a generation that hardly votes in presidential elections, perhaps its time to turn the debates into judged live singing contests. American Idol is never hurting for votes, and I would love to hear what Simon has to say about Hillary. Such a show would echo our need to sensationalize celebrities. I mean, Nicole Richie just gets skinnier and skinnier. Well, so are children in impoverished third-world countries. Where are their pictures? Dont get me wrong, I watch YouTube and reality TV with the best of them. But what does YouTube say about us as a society? Is this what we want to leave behind? Chocolate Rain and chipmunks? Because if so, my name is all over the next hit: Caramel Snow.

GAY MATTERS
Homosexual relationships often mirror heterosexual dynamics

henever my mother drinks, I try to avoid her. (For the record, she doesnt drink often, which probably explains why a single margarita is enough to get her buzzed.) Shes not an angry drunk nor a Debbie Downer. She simply asks questions she wouldnt normally ask my siblings and me. But those questions are usually aimed at me: When I caught you coming back into the house at 4 a.m., you werent just returning from taking out the trash, were you, Ricardo? One evening, when my rst boyfriend and I were at my house watching a movie, my mother wanted to speak to us. Judging by the amused expression on her face, I guessed she had been drinking wine. We sat down at the kitchen table, underneath the hanging light xture, the type youd nd in a police departments interrogation room. I want to ask you two a very serious question she began. Nathan and I looked nervously at each other, wondering what she would ask, fearful itd be something bad. Which one of you is the pitcher and which one is the catcher? she asked nally.

If he had said something equally horrifying like, the thousands of Turks butchered by Vlad the Impaler or the death of the Russian peasants under Stalin it would not be such a dramatic impact on your soul.

If he had said This movie had more Spanish than the San Juan Massacre I am sure you wouldnt be rising to the streets with your pitchfork.

We immediately began to laugh, both at the absurdity of the inquiry and out of relief. Upon appeasing her curiosity, I started thinking about the dynamics of gay relationships. My mothers euphemism is known in the gay community as being Ricardo a top or bottom, the Lopez terms deriving from the placement of the couple during intercourse. But being a top or a bottom in a relationship isnt strictly about what happens in the bedroom. The two terms reect an abstract state of mind, a model gay men seem to follow in their hookups or relationships. A top is generally the more masculine person in the relationship, and hes seen as the protector who does the majority of the leading. People might not readily recognize hes even gay because he doesnt fit the general stereotype of a gay man. Nonetheless, many tops are openly gay and quite active in their LGBT communities.
For some men, being a bottom denotes wanting to be taken care of and protected by his partner. A bottom may or may not appear more effeminate than his boyfriend. Like I said, many men dont t the mold society has so readily laid out for them. In a sense, assuming these roles in a relationship reduces confusion not only in the bedroom, but outside of it as well. Psychologists see this as a mirroring of heterosexual role-playing, the bottom taking on a more female-like persona while the top is the man. I am hesitant to adhere to these guidelines to explain the relationship dynamics between two gay men simply because I have a problem with gender roles. My own qualms with the gender binary, however, do not detract from the observed patterns between men. Growing up in a relatively heterosexual society, it makes sense that gay men will follow a well-established model for their relationshipswhether or not gender roles have any relevancy in todays modern society.

POLITICAL OPINIONS
Abstinence-only education a problem in American public schools
m not normally a fan of bringing sex into the discussion about politics. Although the two are so intertwined with each other, thanks to the abortion debate and our bizarre obsession over a politicians sex life (evident in the sex scandal involving former Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York), I didnt feel there was a story until recently that could merit a discussion outside of sexual peccadilloes and discussions of morality in our public leaders, even though most of us barely t that bill in our daily lives. Brian A TV station in Orlando, Ault Fla. last week reported a surveys ndings of Floridian teens in regards to the sexual education system in the state. Florida is one of a handful of states in the country that cater toward abstinence-only sex education (a mostly Republican concoction that, just by looking at
recent headlines, holds its own set of contradictions). The survey also showed that some teens believe smoking marijuana can prevent a woman from becoming pregnant. On the surface, this looks harmless and worthy of nothing but a hearty chuckle at Florida. I mean, over the past eight years, there have been many reasons, like the smoking marijuana belief, to laugh or chuck bottles of Jack Daniels along with jugs of Moonshine at the state of Florida. Upon further review, though, there is much more to be concerned and angry about. This study is only the latest in a series of criticisms that have been leveled at abstinence-only education. A simple Google search of abstinence-only education studies reveals 267,000 hits on the topic. Many of them involve articles and studies from 2005. There are also links to blurbs from the two congressionally-funded studies on abstinence-only programs such as the Waxman Report in 2004. Each of these pieces of information connects to one basic truth: Teaching abstinence-only sex education does not work.
Does the blame for this programs existence fall squarely on Republicans? Not all of it, no. Some of the blame may rest on abstinence-only educations initial momentum in the 80s under President Ronald Reagan and heavy funding for it under George W. Bushs presidency with help from the Republican Congress. But Id be careless not to mention that this idea started in 1996 under President Bill Clinton. So theres plenty of blame to spread around here. Im not knocking the concept of abstinence until marriage. As an ideal, it is a perfectly legitimate option for any teen or twenty-something. But each new report reinforces the simple fact that abstinence and abstinence-only education cannot be the only answer. Will this warning be followed? Given the United States publics past in regards to talking about sex, Im not that condent.

ANOTHER LOOK
Unlike other countries, Japans education is very American
s an international student, I have plenty of opportunities to talk with other international students. Through these opportunities Ive found that other Asian countries, like Korea, China and Japan, share much more similar education systems than I imagined. I once discussed education with a Korean student who quit attending a Korean university and came to the University of Nevada, Reno. According to him, Korean high school students are obligated to have lectures from 6:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. and then homework sessions from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. in school six days a week. Many students go to cram schools to seek extra help with their studies from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. And after three hours of sleep they are back to school at 6:45 a.m. again.
High school is the foundation of everything, the Korean student told me. If you study hard in high school, you can go to a better university, get a better job, marry a more beautiful woman and advance your career in life. You can play around and go out with your girlfriend whenever you want in college, so you should work hard during high school. What a simple career path! China also has a strong academiccareer-based culture. Plus, its culture forces high school students to study hard and do difcult extra activities like playing the piano. When I asked a Chinese student what he thought about a Chinese university, Shanghai University, she said, Its not a top university but above average. Another Chinese student told me, Its great. There are some
top-level universities in Shanghai. Both of them immediately connected Shanghai University with a ranking. I didnt expect this. I expected their answers to be about local people or college students Gaku characteristics, Ishimaru convenience of the colleges location and so on. So their answers opened my eyes to their culture and intense competition. Japanese education was a lot like current Korea and China in the past. Education was supreme in peoples lives, and which university people graduated from proved peoples value until about 10 years ago. But
it is now less extreme than Korean or Chinese educations because Japanese people have been steadily Americanized. Japanese students still take many exams and go to cram school during their high school years. But they are also expected to be active in club activities and part-time jobs because Japanese employers realize that academic achievement is not always necessary for successful employees. Because of this, students who only study hard are not in high demand. Japanese universities accept a wider variety of students now than ever with unique ways of admission. A few students can enter the most difficult universities without taking written exams, which are required for most students to take, due to their awesome achievements in high
school. The variety of students at these universities motivates others to be different from the rest. Its important for students to stand out so they can easily get jobs in Japans hurting economy. Japanese universities are a lot like American universities, arent they? Some UNR students are dancing on bar counters every day while some are always studying hard. Although the countries university systems are different, they are similar with respect to student variety. But I cant say whether more variety is good or not because it often causes troubles in class. But at least I could realize how Americanized Japan has become by meeting students from other Asian countries at UNR. And for this cultural experience, I will always be grateful.

end. The tattooist will then drag the needle across the skin instead of a machine that pokes the skin 1,000 times a second. Josh Corlin, an artist at Pirate Tattoos, said artists now used stainless steel tubes instead of bamboo. He said one of the best reasons to go to the convention is the diversity and the amount of artists going. Artists from all over the world go to the show and display their art, Corlin said. There will be lots of artists. Makofske said there should be something of interest for anyone involved, whether they are covered in tattoos or just have a passing interest in the art.

The originality of these specic designs would evolve later into ner art with deeper meaning, she said. Lance Kurtz, 19, has four different tattoos that each have relevance in his life, ranging from his Russian heritage to his political beliefs to his favorite kind of music, he said. Kurtz said his parents do not fully understand the importance of his tattoos. He said that his father warned him that tattoos would hinder his success as a nance major in the business world. My dad hates my tattoos, Kurtz said. He told me I would make half as much money in my life because of them. Schuyler Roberson, 19, also keeps his future as a political science major in mind when considering the future of his tattoos. His tattoo of a phoenix represents rebirth, which he takes to signify Jesus and immortality, two things that he holds very highly, Roberson said. But this is only the beginning, he said. I plan on one day getting a full-body tattoo, from my ankles to my wrists to my neck, he said. This will allow me to wear a business suit to hide all my tattoos. This style of tattooing follows a Japanese tradition known as Irezumi, he said. Roberson said that this style of tattoo would allow him to portray characteristics he desires through art while allowing him to be accepted in the professional world. Marcus Keene, a 19-year-old psychology major, said he is worried about future acceptance of his tattoos because of the current way in which people judge tattoos. Many people see them as a sign of ignorance, Keene said, but it is just another form of expression and individuality. Keene said that many people just look at tattoos and see labels. He said the common perception by those who are less tolerant is to judge tattoos as being equal to bumper stickers on a car. Seltzer-Kelly said that as a part of the baby-boomer generation, she has seen tattoos evolve from being for sailors and convicts to being worn by a large portion of todays youth. She said that she sees tattoos as similar to piercings. When I rst began teaching, I saw many students with very elaborate piercings, she said. Since then, they have become more common, but much more simple. I think tattoos will become very acceptable in this generation. They will be less extensive, but tattoos are denitely here to stay.

Chase Daley, 20, is an art major who transferred to the University of Nevada, Reno last semester. Daley said that while in Ohio, he used his knowledge of art from a tattoo parlor to draw designs for clients. He said that he learned much more about the industry and the artistry from his experiences at the parlor. I wouldnt paint a shitty picture and try to sell it to someone, he said. Tattoos are the same way. According to Seltzer-Kelly, creating art is a basic trait for all human cultures. Many huntergatherer type cultures, such as the Aborigines and various African tribes, developed traditions involving body arts that include not only tattooing, but piercing and scarring as well, she said. These traditional markings were originally used for celebrating life events, such as becoming a man or woman, she said. In these different cultures, many times there were set designs for the rituals, making them decorative, Seltzer-Kelly said. However, out of these traditions, there would be artistic geniuses that would produce original alterations to the designs.

Smart People has brains and heart

All-star cast creates a memorable lm with playful dialogue, performances
Jon Fortenbury
Staff Writer
On my way out of the movie theatre, I overheard someone suggest that Smart People should have been called Bitter Smart People instead. Thats definitely a more accurate title. In Smart People, nearly every character holds a grudge and although theyre intellectually inclined, theyre far from emotionally intelligent. Smart People rst takes us into the life of Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid, Vantage Point), a grumpy, cruel-grading, arrogant English professor, who doesnt care enough about his students to remember their names or to work the full duration of his ofce hours. Wetherhold is self-absorbed and doesnt realize hes still miserable over his wifes death which affects the rest of his relationships. A minor seizure lands him in the hospital where his ER doctor, Janet Hartigan (Sarah Jessica Parker, Failure to Launch), is a former student. Although bitter about harsh grades and comments that caused her to switch her major from English to Biology, the crush she once held for Wetherhold is rekindled. Due to this seizure, Wetherhold cant drive for six months and is forced to have his brother Chuck (Thomas Haden Church, Spider-Man 3), a pot smoking, unemployed, middle-aged man who Wetherhold is constantly reminding everyone is adopted, move in to drive him around. Chuck doesnt share the intellectual side the rest of the family possesses, and although it seems he is in the worst situation, hes the only character who doesnt need counseling. In fact, he becomes the counselor in this lm, taking the role Wetherhold failed to ll as parent to both Vanessa (Ellen Page, Juno) and James (Ashton Holmes, Peaceful Warrior). Vanessa is just like her dad: miserable and lacking friends. The relationship Chuck and Vanessa have is heart warming as he shows her a different perspective on life.

Tragedy from above

Snow Angels breaks post-Oscar slump with emotionally-charged drama
Jay Brissenden
Staff Writer
Devastating and powerful, David Gordon Greens Snow Angels brings new meaning to the word tragedy by forcing viewers to witness a heart-wrenching story of self destruction. Snow Angels revolves around three small-town people in the midst of living their everyday lives. In the middle of it all is Arthur Parkinson (Michael Angarano, The Final Season), a high school student coping with his parents separation. Currently working at a Chinese restaurant, Arthur is also witness to the hardships of his co-worker and former babysitter Annie (Kate Beckinsale, Vacancy). Annie is dealing with a separation from her emotionallyunstable husband Glenn (Sam Rockwell, The Assassination of Jesse James). When Annies daughter goes missing, chaos unfolds and each character is revealed to who they truly are. Never before in the history or cinema has the theme of innocence been portrayed as daringly as in Snow Angels. More importantly, the lm presents the reality that losing innocence is one of lifes greatest tragedies. Through some form or another,

or physically, is shown surrendering their innocence. To back the amazing story, each actor gives extraordinary performances. High above them all though is undoubtedly Rockwell as the struggling father/husband. The audience can only feel sorry for him when witnessing his immaturity and hopelessness. With the short screen time he is with his daughter, it is amazing to think that he is her father and not just her very large playmate of the same IQ. His obsession with religion also causes controversy through the actions. Then there is the angelic Beckinsale who owns the screen. Watching the story play out through her eyes was one of the most painful things I have ever watched. She is rst shown as the prom queen, whose poor moral judgment lead to conceiving a child with the towns idiotic jock. As the lm goes on and she faces more and more challenges, she shows that not every pretty face holds inner beauty. Angarano and his onscreen girlfriend Olivia Thirlby do a fantastic job of offsetting the depressing tone of the lm with a unique look at rst love.
SNOW ANGELS

Genre: Drama Rating: R Grade: A
Almost anyone who was once in high school can relate to the situation of spontaneously nding something special in someone so ordinary. Usually, cute relationships are annoying to watch onscreen, but in this lm, it is honestly special to see it play out. In all its greatness, Snow Angels is hardly a marketable lm. It has distinct ways of slowly moving the camera away during dialogue sequences, which many people may nd annoying. Some might nd the story to be unrealistic and trashy, but the ones who understand its message will most likely walk out of the theater feeling emotionally drained and overwhelmingly depressed. Snow Angels is shockingly the rst movie in a long time to live up to its genre name. It is a drama unlike any other that is easily the best lm of the year.
17-year-old girl sees her dad as a role model and emulates him completely. Smart People is a clever comedy with a lot of dramatic elements. The lms vast, versatile vocabulary will excite writers and avid readers while still universally connecting to the average comedy fan. This film didnt turn strictly into a romantic comedy or become as emo as the last scenes of The Breakfast Club. Its an entertaining movie that shows the disconnection between the brain and the heart. It teaches us that even the smartest people sometimes fail to learn how to love. Ellen Page plays a very similar role in Smart People as she does in Juno. She does an excellent job in the smart-ass teenage girl role but with her wonderful acting skills, it would be nice to see what else she can do. Comparing it to real life, its more realistic in the sense that there are not a lot of large events happening in a short period of time. The script focuses more on relationships which made the character development top notch. This movie will attract a lot of the same people who enjoyed Juno, with its cutesy dialogue and fun lines like youre a giant toddler and these kids havent been properly parented for years but minus the made up jargon Juno writer Diablo Cody created. Funny, with a heartfelt message and a light dramatic touch, Smart People had all of the elements I look for in a movie. Id suggest it to anyone who looks for more than just laughs.

THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM
MOVIE REVIEW
Prom crowned king of horror clichs

Garrett Collins
Staff Writer
The Hollywood remake machine strikes again! One week after releasing The Ruins, one of the most original and fright-inducing icks in years, Hollywood once again proves that they have run out of ideas by remaking a movie from 1980 that wasnt even that good to begin with. Here, Brittany Snow (Hairspray) plays Donna, a senior in high school who has not had what one might call a normal upbringing three years ago, an obsessed killer slaughtered her family, apparently to impress her. The years go by and she is leading a normal seniors life, all the while living with the memory of her familys demise. Knowing that this is her last chance to be a normal high schooler, she decides that she wants to go to the prom. After all, this is the night that every girl dreams will be the best night of their high school lives. Low and behold, the killer has escaped from the mental hospital, intent on winning back his girl by killing her and a few of her friends. Comparing this lm to the original would not be fair, especially since it has absolutely no resemblance to it except for the title. The plot is completely different and this lm is not nearly as violent. The lmmakers try to make up for their PG-13 rating by injecting boo-scares throughout. These are scenes where a character thinks there is something scary waiting behind a door and it turns out to be completely harmless. This happens no less than seven times to Donna alone which got to the point of being ridiculous. It became painful to watch as a viewer because it was an obvious example of the lmmakers inability to scare the audience. The very pretty Snow does what she can in the lead role that was held by Jamie Lee Curtis in the original, but she is not in the least bit as enduring. There is a subplot involving a long rivalry Donna has with the stuck-up princess on campus that was more than likely put in the lm to make us care for Donna, yet I found myself not caring for either one in the least and all these scenes did was take up time. Do not even get me started on Johnathon Schaech (Road House 2: Last Call), who is painfully miscast as the killer here. He did give off a creepy vibe, but his

Lessons from a marked man

Getting a tattoo can be an intimidating process. But with a push in the right direction even the timid out there can muster up the courage to get some ink. I have a few tattoos under my belt and have plenty of designs floating around in my head. But I do not consider myself an expert on the matter. I just want to take the edge off for a few would-be enthusiasts to get over their fears for their first tattoos. About a month ago I Clint got a tattoo Demeritt on my right calf, which most of my co-workers would describe as a burning mummy. The piece is actually an image called The Self-Destructive Man from my favorite movie Waking Life, an animated philosophy movie. Though they make fun of me for my selection, I do not regret my decision.

Pierinos has swag, lacks taste

Friendly staff and Italian atmosphere dont make up for over-priced food
Colleen Hagen
Staff Writer
Pierinos Ristorante Italiano has nearly all the makings of a fine Italian restaurant: the crisp white tablecloths, walls covered in tapestries and oil paintings, and even a pricey menu. The one thing they dont have is fine food to match. The last time I came to the Keystone Avenue location, the Save Mart the restaurant sits next to was Albertsons and Pierinos was the old Reno favorite: The Coffee Grinder. I remember being entranced as a kid by the trays overowing with fog from the dry ice at The Coffee Grinder. At Pierinos, I was entranced by the high quality service and playful melody of the Godfather soundtrack humming through the dining room. I only wish the meal was as enticing. My friend Morgan and I strolled in for an early dinner and were promptly seated in the intimate dining room. Our server greeted us with gusto and read the specials, detailing each dish. The busboy stood idly by and waited until we put in our drink order before coming over the fill our water glasses. The quick and thorough service made me hopeful that the rest of the evening would go as well. When our appetizers arrived, it was clear it wouldnt: both the prosciutto and melon of the same-named dish ($10) tasted just a day or two past their prime. The melon was slightly mushy and lacked that biting sweetness that usually offsets the salty meat. Morgan was happy to be met with a pile of full-bodied little squid in her calamari fritti ($13). While it was nice that the dish wasnt heavily breaded like it is at most restaurants, it wasnt enough to make up for the rubbery and chewy squid. After tasting the soup, I brightened up again. The minestrone was loaded with veggies and had a deep, rich flavor like it had been stewing all day. When the bread basket came out, I was excited to see that it was filled with tasty-looking rosemary knots rather than just a hunk of white bread. Unfortunately, the excitement ended there, after the first bite. The blandness of the bread bogged down the flavor of the herbs and couldnt be saved by even a generous smear of butter and dip in the yummy minestrone. The pasta menu at Pierinos is a mix and match with pastas listed to be paired with your choice of a wide variety of sauces. I chose the gnocchi ($13) and coupled it with a ragu ($2.25) while Morgan went with the entre of linguine with clams in a white sauce ($23). The gnocchi was perfectly cooked and paired nicely with

the smooth and savory ragu. I quickly finished off my plate of foot before scooping up a forkful of Morgans pasta topped with a mix of shell-in and diced clams. I twirled a heaping serving onto my fork and dove in head first, only to be disappointed as I met by a fishy-tasting sauce and big hunk of clamshell poking me in the throat. Though the shell piece may have been an unfortunate by-product of Morgans sloppy shelling, the event ruined the rest of the dish for me. Thanks to the outstanding service and elegant atmosphere, Ill be giving Pierinos another try before writing it off. But, diner, beware: For the prices youll pay, there are better bets in town.
I have what I call the wall of possibilities of all my potential tattoos, which I nd helpful when it comes to the nal decision.
I had this design in mind for a few months. and if you have your envisioned tattoo in a highly visible place and you still think it is a good idea after six months, you will be less likely to regret it. It will also cut down on regrets later in life since the tattoo is something meaningful to me and not something I picked off the parlors wall. I decided to get my new ink at a parlor I hadnt been to before. A friend recommended Josh Corlin at Pirate Tattoo to me after she got a tattoo from him. If you are in the market for a tattoo, ask people with tattoos that you like. A recommendation from a friend is much more reliable than any amount of research done on the Internet. Though I was a little nervous, it was nice to see him assemble his tattoo machine right in front of me and pull out the needles from clean bags. That way I knew the equipment would be sterilized and I wouldnt get infected with a disease. Also the studio itself was well-kept. If the shop isnt clean and you dont see them use sterilized needles, it is a good sign you should go somewhere else. My tattoo took about three hours to complete. The pain fluctuated between minor and almost unbearable. The pain of a tattoo depends on what body part its going on and personal pain tolerance. Corlin said most people think upper arm is the least painful and from the armpit to the hip, especially the ribs, is the most painful. Also artists will go over certain spots again to ll in more color, which means that spot will be more tender. Though the process was long and painful, it was well worth it. I dont fell the pain anymore and I will have a tattoo I like for the rest of my life. But beware once you get a tattoo collecting them could become a life-long hobby.
Rail competition headed to Reno

A&E Editor
Though Aprils warm grasp seems to have taken hold of campus, the Joe Crowley Student Unions lawn will see a great deal of snow, about 45 tons of it. Reno wont be seeing a freak blizzard but instead the University of Nevada, Reno campus will be hosting a stop on the Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour April 19. Skiers and snowboarders will be given a 20-foot tall, 30-foot long ramp complete with three rails to show off their best tricks, said Dan Genco, tour organizer. He said riders will then be judged on how difficult the tricks are, how stylish they pull them off and how the crowd reacts to the tricks. Professional and amateur riders are welcome to participate, he said. Genco said prizes are based on how many participants show up, but they compete for a share of a $500 cash purse along with snow products. About 40 competitors are expected with about a crowd of 2,500 people. Genco said the tour is trying to promote and capitalize on a growing awareness of snow competitions. He said though University of Nevada, Reno students are fairly aware of snow sports already it will help riders show what they can do to the people who wouldnt attend a snowboarding event up in the mountains. The average student wont travel to the mountains to see riders showcase their talents, Genco said. The tour brings it (the mountains) to the center of a college. The rail tricks arent the only attraction at the rail jam, said Lindsey Kern, diversions chair for Flipside. She said sponsors will be rafing off cell phones, snowboards, snow equipment like gloves, goggles and other prizes. She said there will also be DJs playing music and free food provided by Flipside. Its a different event that we havent had on campus, Kern said. It will be fun, lighthearted and clean. Kern said the event is not only meant to show regular students what their peers can do on the slopes, but also to attracts students who dont usually attend Flipsides regular events. She said she wants to get students involved who arent usually busy skiing or snowboarding up in the mountains. I want to reach out to people who dont usually attend our events, Kern said. The top-ve highest-scoring riders will move on to the nals in Portland Ore. to compete for a $5,000 cash purse. The tour started in February at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Tattoo Convention to make its mark on Reno

Clint Demeritt
A&E Editor
Reno will become a little more colorful when people ock to the Peppermill Casino as it hosts the National Tattoo Associations Tattoo Convention this week. The four-day convention starts Thursday and will run through Sunday. Thursday and Friday are only open to registered members. Though pre-registration is closed, participants can pay $50 to register at the convention allowing them access to the whole event along with contests. It costs $10 to attend on Saturday or Sunday. About 700 to 1,000 pre-registered members show up each year. The NTA asked Apache Jil, member and local tattooist at Pirate Tattoo, to host the convention in Reno. Jil said this has been the fourth time the convention has come to Reno but the rst one held in the city in 30 years. There will be a plethora of artists, displays and contests, NTA treasurer Flo Makofske said. She said the convention not only allows artists to show off their work but also lets proud tattoo owners submit their tattoos for judging. She said there will be a multitude of different contests from best blackand-white tattoo, to most unique, to best sleeve and back tattoo. Those who get tattooed at the convention can enter into a tattoo-ofthe-day competition. Artists can square off against each other at the convention comparing best studio, design sheets (designs for potential tattoos), ne arts awards and best cover-up (changing a tattoo to another design). Its like the Academy Awards of tattooing, Makofske said. Along with contests the convention will offer seminars for artists. Seminars cover topics like how to make more realistic portraits or perform better cover-ups. Makofske said though the seminars are geared towards artists, the public is welcome to attend.

UNR staff and students explore the connection between ne art and the once taboo tattoo
JULIAN RHODES | ASSISTANT A&E EDITOR
n the world of art, there are opposing forces: ne art and decorative art, according to professor Deborah Seltzer-Kelly, Ph.D. Fine art typically refers to sculptures and paintings of the Renaissance era, for example, while decorative art refers to patterned vases, jeweled furniture and anything else that is meant for ornamental purposes, she said. Floating adrift between these two art categories is the art of tattoos, Seltzer-Kelly said. Ever since the 60s and Andy Warhol, the division between ne art and decorative art has narrowed, she said. Tattoos, like other art, do not t perfectly into either category. Seltzer-Kelly said categorization of the tattoo depends on the tattoo artist. Those tattoo artists who work off of an art book with pre-drawn material simply follow a pattern, making their work decorative art, she said. On the other hand, there are those artists who produce original art for their clients, which in turn would t more accurately as ne art, Seltzer-Kelly said. She said that tattoos are comparable to grafti. What denes tattooing as an art form is originality, craftsmanship and how the art ts the canvas, Seltzer-Kelly said. But unlike grafti, tattoos are not a recent trend with a shelf life, she said. Dan Hoefer, a local tattoo artist, produces original tattoo art for many of his clients. When he goes to work at Evolution Tattoos he does not simply think about the money, he said. I could just sit back and do $80 Japanese characters, Hoefer said, but Id rather cut someone a break nancially and do a beautiful piece of art. Hoefer said he enjoys his job because, as an artist, he is able to use the human body as a canvas. This, combined with his creativity, brings his artwork to life, he said.

Schacter won in the 132-pound weight class. After his championship bout, the pro-Nevada crowd began chanting four more years for Schacter.
WHOS NOT
SHAUN KORT BASEBALL One of Nevadas most productive run producers is going through a slump. Shaun Kort hit 3-16 last week, dropping his season average to .349. Korts average is still respectable and his lower stats didnt hurt the Wolf Pack, who won four of ve, but Kort will have to step it up against a decent Hawaii team this weekend.
he best team on campus hasnt been home enough this season. Wolf Pack softball cracked the top 25 last week for the rst time in school history. The women beat defending national champion Arizona earlier this season and are in their rst full season at Christina Hixson Park, across Evans Street from Lombardi Recreational Facility. Nevada has only played three of its rst 43 games at home, though. That is a problem Emerson for Nevada fans Marcus who want to see Katie Holverson dominate on the mound, or Noelle Micka hit a game-winning home run. Coach Michelle Gardner said the team played road games to avoid cancellations, which come with playing winter softball in Reno. Cancellations or not, Reno wants to see this team play and start making the noise it should be making. The Wolf Pack will get its chance this weekend against No. 20 Hawaii. The Rainbow Wahine is only a half game ahead of Nevada for rst place in the Western Athletic Conference standings. The battle
for rst place will give Nevada fans even more incentive to nally watch this impressive team.
BOXING A SPECIAL SPORT

Nevada boxing is a club sport that also has men with slicked-back hair, buttoned-up shirts and bow ties serving martinis to the audience. The NCAA hasnt funded boxing since 1961, but the sport still generates more money at its events than almost every Nevada sport other than football and basketball. This weekend, the National Collegiate Boxing Association championships were held at the Reno Ballroom. The environment was so electric that it rivaled a Wolf Pack basketball game in March. Other than fancy drinks and big-shot donators, the event attracted 20 different schools with more than 70 boxers ghting in 12 different weight classes, and a three-day average attendance of more than 2,000 cramming into the small venue. Its popularity makes boxing unique because its a club sport that actually generates money. Since 1976 the NCBA has worked to create a self-supporting championship for collegiate boxing. College Sports TV, owned by CBS Sports, started covering the event
in 2006. The network televises the ghts on CSTV and broadcasts highlights online at thecollegiatenationals.com. The Wolf Pack dominated the championships by winning nine of its 10 ghts, proving how exciting it can be to watch a Nevada boxing match.
Mills Lane won the 1960 welterweight championship while at Nevada, well before he ever pumped his st and said lets get it on. He almost made the Olympics that year, but lost in the seminal qualiers. Lane graduated from Nevada with a business degree in 1963. Lane went to the University of Utah to get his law degree and came back to Reno as a Deputy Sheriff. Lane didnt become a household name until he refereed the ght where Mike Tysons bit Evander Holyelds ear. He also appeared as a voice over on MTVs Celebrity Deathmatch. The Wolf Pack senior has won more National Collegiate Boxing Association Championships than any other boxer in school history. Schacter won his rematch with Addy Pizarro in the 2008 championship bout. Pizarro handed Schacter his second collegiate loss in November, but Schacter got revenge on Saturday.

Nevada baseballs starting rotation is beginning to take shape. Finally. Brock Stassis emergence as the Sunday starter gives Nevada a solid compliment to the hot pitching of Rod Scurry and Kyle Howe. Scurry and Howe pitched complete games last weekend against Utah Valley University. Scurrys gem on Friday marked the rst 1-0 game in Peccole Park history, Nevadas home since 1988. Dan Eastham is good enough to be the starter on the second game of Saturday double-headers, but when the WAC tournament starts Nevada will look to ride Scurry, Howe and Stassi. The combined earned run average of the three pitchers is 3.43, which is good enough for an offense that almost scores twice that per game (7.6).

Joey Gilbert won three NCBA championships for Nevada (1997, 98, 99). Gilbert was 27-1 as an amatuer and is 16-1 as a pro. Gilbert also competed on NBCs reality TV show The Contender. Gilbert helped train some of the younger Nevada ghters, including Thomas Gennaro and David Schacter. The Wooster High School graduate won three NCBA championships (2000, 2001 and 2003) in the 112-pound weight class. Tam would have won four, but was a part of one of the most intense rivalries in Nevada boxing history. Tam fought University of Nevada, Las Vegas boxer Xenon Molinari four times. The boxers split the four match rivalry, but Tam left with three championships.

Gennaro gets second title

The rst title was for his fallen father, Saturdays championship was for himself
Assistant Sports Editor
Thomas Gennaro had a lot of family members to thank. After he won his second National Collegiate Boxing Association championship on Saturday, Gennaro thanked everyone who helped him get to that point and said they were all family to him. I cant thank everyone enough, Gennaro said. He thanked his Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity brothers, his mother, his friends, his coaches, but it was his dad he wanted to thank most. Gennaros father died in 2005, before Gennaro won his rst collegiate boxing championship. When I think about the sacrifice he made, moving me from (New York City) so I didnt grow up in the streets, Gennaro said. Im the first male to go to college (in my family). My sister was the first person in my family to go to college. I dont know anybody except maybe a fourth or fifth cousin that graduated from college. Gennaro won the championship immediately after his fathers death, but lost last year. Gennaro was determined to win in his nal collegiate ght Saturday against Army boxer Steve Henoa-Escobar. I just knew I had more energy and more stamina than any athlete in this nation, Gennaro said. There was no way anyone was going to outplay me. I wanted to see how deep (HenoaEscobar) could swim tonight. I wanted to see if someone could
Groundball pitchers give inelders a test

Aside from a couple of throwing errors in the late innings of Nevadas weekend series sweep against Utah Valley University, the Wolf Pack ineld was solid. Nevada pitchers induced 51 ground balls over the four-game series with the Wolverines, 43 of which were successfully converted into outs and ve of which went for ineld singles. Our ineld is really good, said Gary Powers, Nevada head coach. Its a two-way street though. The pitchers have to make the pitch and the defense has to do its part. Our defense did its part this weekend. The Wolf Pack also turned six double plays, ve were started by the ineld. (David) Ciarlo at second, he has some of the fastest hands Ive ever seen, said Rod Scurry, Fridays starting pitcher. Ciarlo, along with sophomore shortstop Kevin Rodland create a formidable double-play combo for Nevada. We worked really hard in the fall, Rodland said. He (Ciarlo) has really quick hands. Just knowing where the balls going to be at every time we get a chance for a double play is great. team. For the series, Simas went 1-5 with three runs scored and four RBI. Jaquez went 3-7 with two runs scored and one RBI. There both are fairly equal in talent, Wolf Pack hitting coach Stan Stolte said, and with so many games in a short period of time it easier on them from a durability standpoint.

out swim me in the deep water. There was no one who could out swim me. Gennaro said that the 2006 championship was for his dad, but this championship was for him. Gennaro started slowly in the rst round, but took control in the second. He attacked Henoa-Escobar with powerful combinations, using his energy to his advantage. Gennaro raised his arms at the conclusion of the ght, condant he had won. After he left the ring he was mobbed by dozens of people who wanted to congratulate him. A small boy asked if Gennaro would sign his arm, but Gennaro said, Ill have to get you a Sharpie (for writing on skin), meet me in the back. Other than his father, Gennaro specically thanked his boxing coach Greg Rice. God bless him, Gennaro said. Hes been like a grandfather to me. He would have me over at his house for dinner, multiple times, knowing I was hungry. I was kind of broke at the time and he would give me food to go home with. Thats what its about: The family that we have. Gennaro said he would miss being an active member of the Nevada boxing family. I feel I am leaving this program better than it was when I came here, Gennaro said. He said the person he will miss most is his best friend and also national champion David Schacter. He helped me so much in
2-OUT HITTING
Of the 22 runs Nevada scored in the series, eight of them came with two outs. Thats how we win games, Powers said. Its really demoralizing for other teams, but its a big positive for us. Nevadas main contributors to their two-out hitting were junior left elder Matt Bowman and senior center elder Jason Sadoian. Each knocked in two runs. I was seeing the ball really well, Sadoian said. I just tried to stay in my zone and not do too much. As a team, Nevada went 11-39 with three home runs, six walks and was hit by a pitch three times when hitting with two outs over the four-game series.

OFFENSE FINDS ITS RHYTHM IN SECOND HALF

The Wolf Pack only scored four runs in their first two games against Utah Valley, going 13-56, a far cry from their Western Athletic Conference leading .328 batting average it carried before the series. In the second half of the series, Nevada showed its true colors, going 21-66 while putting up 18 runs on the board. We got ahead and did a better job of getting pitches to drive, Sadoian said. Although the scoreboard did not show it, the Wolf Pack was hitting the ball hard all weekend. I saw us swing the bat better in the rst game (of the doubleheader), Powers said. We were hitting hard ground balls right at people. We did a better job in the second game of getting the runs in. Nevada came into the series focused on driving the ball into the ground. We were popping up a lot in the rst couple games, Bowman said. We didnt pop up as much in the last two games. We did a really good job of making the defense make plays.
CATCHERS ALTERNATING
Nevada started two different catchers in their series against Utah Valley University. Junior Travis Simas started the rst and third games for the Wolf Pack while junior Tyson Jaquez started the second and fourth. Weve been switching off games, Simas said. I just do what I can and play my role. I keep myself prepared every day, Jaquez said. Im a new catcher here so its good just to get the experience. Simas, who caught Scurry on Friday, has turned into Scurrys personal catcher. During the fall, we hunted a lot together, Scurry said. We became really good friends and it just turned into a comfort thing. It carried on to the eld. Despite their split time at catcher, neither Simas nor Jaquez said there was trouble brewing. I all ready have a bad knee so catchings tough on me, Jaquez said. Im OK with it. I have no problems. Im ne with it, Simas said. Im just glad to be a part of this
coming into college. I had zero experience. Gennaro said he is looking forward to graduation this May. Thats what its all about, graduating, he said.

Kotey proves hes the best at 156 lb

Army wins the team championship and Wolf Pack senior falls short of title
Ryan Kotey said he had something to prove this season. Even though he won the championship as a freshman last year, Kotey said this season wouldnt be as easy. One of my opponents broke his hand and I didnt have to ght a full three-round tournament last year, he said. Kotey repeated as a champion this season in the 156-pound weight class. Kotey won the 165pound weight class championship last year. He was one of three Nevada boxers to win individual championships. The Wolf Pack nished third as a team behind Army and Navy. This season Kotey did have to ght a three round tournament, which ended in a rematch of his Western Regional loss to Air Force Academys team captain Daryn Nelson. Nelson used his powerful left hooks to beat Kotey just two weeks ago in the regional. I prepared for (Nelson) by working on ghting southpaws,

Kotey said. Kotey will be a sophomore next season and the only returning Nevada ghter in this seasons National Collegiate Boxing Association championships. Its going to be tough without those guys, Kotey said. The program is really going to miss them.
ARMY WINS TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

After three days and 67 collegiate boxing ghts from 20 different schools, Army was named 2008 National Collegiate Boxing Association team champion at the Reno Ballroom in downtown Reno. Its the rst boxing teamchampionship in Army history. It ended perfectly, Army senior boxer Steve Solaja said. The last couple years we thought were ripped off. We felt we were cheated. Army nished in second place in the last two seasons. The Black Knights lost to Lock Haven last year. Lock Haven nished fth this year with 20 points. The Naval Academy was second with

38 points; Nevada nished third with 32 points and the Air Force Academy nished fourth with 21 points. (The Army boxers are) a great group of young men, Army coach Ray Barone said. Its tough because the seniors are done now and headed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Theyre all warriors.

SENIOR FALLS SHORT IN CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT

Nevada boxer Kenny Dyer-
Redner lost his championship bout to the Naval Academys Mike Steadman. I didnt think he was that good, Dyer-Redner said. I thought I had him. Dyer-Redner won his rst two bouts in dominating fashion, but lost his third bout of the tournament in a tough decision. He just kept coming, Dyer Redner said. It was the nal bout of DyerRedners career.
He threw-up the day before the championship and said his weight was in the 120s. I ate breakfast (Friday) morning, but my stomach didnt feel good, he said. Schacter said that he doesnt mind ghting lighter because it gives him a speed advantage. At the start of the rst round on Saturday, Schacter glided to the left of the ring instead of charging the center like most boxers do. He says its a way of throwing off the opposing ghters by doing something different.
Halfway through the rst round Pizarro whiffed on a punch, moving his momentum past Schacter. Pizarro then slipped on the canvas and fell to the oor. The strongly proNevada crowd went crazy and started chanting Schacters name. In the third round, Pizarros eyes got wider and his mouth hung lower, but Schacter looked no different than he did at the beginning of the ght. Schacter didnt have to ght three ghts in the tournament, as Pizarro did, because he received a bye in the rst round. Schacter beat Manseld boxer Jarrett Hill in the second round of the tournament on Friday.
Tennis team cant close matches

Scott Oxarart
Sports Editor
Nevada womens tennis coach Sylvain Malroux made sure this season his team would face the most difcult opponents as possible. His reason was for the team to see great players and to prepare his team for perennial powers Boise State and Fresno State. With the gained condence toward the end of the season, the Wolf Pack is on the verge of beating top teams. Until then, it can still only hope to knock them off. The Wolf Pack lost 4-3 to both No. 27 Denver and No. 41 Boise State over the weekend. Were going to break through, Malroux said. I dont know when, but we have to believe. The Wolf Pack (7-10) has been dropped 4-3 in eight of its 10 losses this season and all of the losses have come to ranked

teams, he said. Nevadas inability to close out matches keeps its national ranking oating in the 60s out of 75. Malroux said that a ranking in the top 45 will likely get them into the NCAA Tournament as an at-large bid. The only other way to get in is a Western Athletic Conference Championship.
I make a strong schedule to give us a chance to make it in the top 45, Malroux said. Weve got a team that can compete; we just got to start winning those close matches. The Wolf Pack takes on UC Davis this week at home before heading to the WAC Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., April 25-27.
trying to get her job back. Groth and Fox were involved in the decision to hire so they factor into the claim. The lawsuit says that UNR discriminated against Patraw because it hired a male coach who makes more money this season than Patraw did. A hearing ofcer gave permission to Nevada to hire a new coach because the trial could have been going on into the soccer season. Patraw said she was red Aug. 28 in retaliation for reporting NCAA violations. She led a whistle-blower complaint for her job back, which was ruled against her two months ago. Shes appealing the decision. Patraw, who led the team to its rst NCAA Tournament performance and received the highest grade on her evaluation, reported NCAA violations by the Nevada mens and womens golf teams.
They were patient early on but they started swinging at a lot of rst pitches the last three or four innings. Fatigue never really set in, especially with throwing just 78 pitches. I usually throw about 115. Powers was content with the quality starts he got from his pair of seniors. Those guys are the leaders, Powers said. They set the tone. In the latter two games, six Nevada pitchers combined to allow only eight runs. In all, only eight pitchers took the mound for the Wolf Pack over their four-game series with the Wolverines. In the Wolf Packs game against Pacic University before the start of the weekend series, Nevada used seven pitchers. Powers said that being able to save his bullpen over the rst two games was key as Nevada returns to conference play next week at Hawaii.
It helps us knowing we have everyone available, Powers said. Nevada pitchers have usually had condence when throwing this season because the offense has been productive. Coming into the series, the Nevada offense was averaging 7.8 runs per game. They were held to 22 runs by the UVU pitching staff. The offensive numbers gave the pitching staff a challenge. They (pitching staff) really picked us up, said sophomore shortstop Kevin Rodland. Its a psychological booster. It really takes pressure off of the offense. We had to do that (pitch well), Stolte said. We didnt score much. The success of the Nevada pitchers was directly correlated to their ability to throw strikes. The pitching staff only gave out 10 walks. Of the 460 pitches Pack pitchers threw over the weekend, 302 went for strikes (66 percent). They (pitchers) have been doing a really good job of pounding the (strike) zone, said junior catcher Travis Simas.

Wolf Pack wants island slugfest

High-scoring series can only help Nevada at Hawaii
The Wolf Pack will get back to conference play this weekend as the team travels to Hawaii. Nevada would rather have a high-scoring series with the weak-hitting Rainbow Warriors. Its out-of-conference series sweep last weekend against Utah Valley University displayed the Wolf Packs pitching potential, but Nevada is best when runs are racking-up on the scoreboard. This weekend, Nevada will send its improved pitching staff to compete against one of the best staffs in the conference.

OFFENSIVE SERIES FAVORS NEVADA

The Wolf Pack hopes that old clich good pitching beats good hitting doesnt hold up this weekend against Hawaii. Hawaii is third in the Western Athletic Conference in earned run average (4.86) and the Warriors rarely surrender the long ball. Hawaii has allowed only 18 home runs in 37 games this season. Hawaii is second in the WAC in opposing on base percentage (.274) and second in strikeouts (243). The Warriors pitchers are enabled by its WAC-best .974 elding percentage. Nevada brings the offense, though. The Wolf Pack leads the WAC in batting average (.321) and slugging percentage (.503). If Nevada can score close to its average of 7.6 runs per game, then it should take the series at Hawaii.

NEVADA
EXPLOIT WEAK HITTING

Nevadas solid pitching should continue at Hawaii. The Rainbow Warriors are last in nearly every WAC offensive statistic. Hawaii is last in batting average (.260), OBP (.353) and runs per game (4.41). Hawaii has only hit 10 home runs this season, compared to 36 home runs for the Wolf Pack. The Warriors will have a tough time with Nevadas two hot pitchers, Rod Scurry and Kyle Howe, who threw a combined 18 innings last weekend and allowed only one run.

START WINNING ON ROAD

Nevada has the worst road record in the conference and will need to improve its play away from Peccole Park if it wants to prepare for the WAC tournament. The Wolf Pack is 2-8 on the road this year. Nevadas bad away record may have something to do with its inexperience on the road this season. The Wolf Pack has only played 10 of 35 games away from Peccole Park this season. The WAC tournament is in Ruston, La. this year, and if Nevada is to advance to the regional tournament it will have to prove it can win on the road. This weekend would be a nice time for Nevada to win its third road game, already 35 games into the season.
WEEKLY GLANCE Wolf Pack has Fresno State at home next week
The Wolf Pack will host rst place Fresno State after it plays Hawaii. If Nevada can win the series with the Rainbow Warriors it will make for an interesting top-of-the-WAC standings match-up with the Bulldogs next weekend.

STAFF PICKS: HAWAII SERIES

OPTIMIST SAYS: The Wolf Pack has won seven of its last eight games and will carry its hot streak to Hawaii. Its pitching has really stepped up lately, including back-to-back complete games from Rod Scurry and Kyle Howe. Nevada will continue winning at Hawaii. OUTCOME: Wolf Pack takes 3 of 4 PESSIMIST SAYS: Nevada is 1-7 on the road and Hawaii is better than the Wolf Packs weak competition from the previous two weeks. Hawaii is one of the best pitching teams in the conference and will silence Nevadas bats. Hawaii will stop the Wolf Packs win streak. OUTCOME: Hawaii sweeps series
DIFFERENCE MAKER BRANDON HAISLET LET

Leadoff hitter Brandon Haislet sets the tone for the Hawaii lineup. He leads Hawaii in hits (46), slugging percentage (.457), on base percentage (.433) and stolen bases (7). If Nevada can keep Haislet off the base paths, then the Wolf Pack should be successful in the series. Nevada will have a hard time winning the series with him on the base paths disrupting Nevada pitchers.
