a survivor of testicular cancer. Pickering was diagnosed with testicular cancer four years ago and became the ofcial spokesperson last year. The City of Remo has already raised about $3,000 for developments in prostate and testicular cancer treatment, he said. Openness and awareness of cancer risks can save lives, Pickering said. The two things that I stress are the importance of early detection and self-examination, he said. Younger men are embarrassed about the subject. If they have an issue they usually dont want to talk about it. Events are planned throughout November, Aguilera said. Soa Paxton, community outreach for the City of Remo, said they want Movember to catch on like other cancer awareness campaigns. We want the moustache in Reno to be the equivalent of the pink ribbon for breast cancer, she said.

(The food pantry) is one of those pretty low-usage programs. But the students who use it are the ones who really, really need it. Matt Smith , Graduate Student Association president on the GSA food pantry.
Emergency funds are available 10 days after application. Students looking for an immediate meal will nd help from the GSA and Food Services. Since the mid-1980s, GSA has operated a food pantry available to graduate and undergradute students. The donation-based resource is small, providing about 20 students per semester with canned goods, Matt Smith, president of the Graduate Student Association, said. Its one of those pretty lowusage programs, he said. But the students who use it are the ones who really, really need it. The informal resource for hungry students has never been highly publicized and requires little paperwork, Smith said. Students come and we literally give them a key so they can come and get what they need, he said. Partnering with ASUN would give the GSA access to more publicity, Smith said. Russ Myers, director of Food Services, said the creation of a centralized program is essential to get more donations. We have the ability to get some of our vendors to donate product, but they want a formal system to get tax credits, he said. Food Services gives food credits to students who cant wait 10 days for assistance. GSA and Food Services are

looking to form a partnership that would allow Food Services to help stock the GSAs food pantry, Myers said. If (vendors) give us $1,000 in hot dogs, we can then donate $1,000 to the food closet, or a $1,000 in food swipes, he said. Qualication for emergency funds or food credits are based on the conversation students have with faculty, Marczynski said. Students who use the programs are usually referred to Marczynski by other faculty. Tracking student use is essential to making the program efcient, Myers said. A centralized program would make tracking students who use different services easier. The potential for abuse is low, Smith said. Coming to the school for food is not something most students are willing to do. Its humbling to come and have to ask for food, Smith said.

and was making suicidal statements, Lt. Todd Renwick of the University of Nevada Police Department said. Eric Youngren, 22, a former Lambda Chi pledge, was charged with second-degree kidnapping with a deadly weapon, assault with a deadly weapon, and domestic battery with a deadly weapon, Kristina Williams said, a support specialist for the Washoe County Sheriffs Department. Nobody was injured, Renwick said.
The situation lasted for about two-and-a-half hours. Police said that they received a call regarding a domestic dispute a little after 4 p.m. from the Lambda Chi fraternity house. They found Youngren holding his ex-girlfriend, Nevada sophomore Shannon Boise, at gun point following a heated argument. Police successfully removed Boise from the Lambda Chi house shortly after arrival. Boise said she did not press charges against Youngren.
Hes OK, she said shortly after Youngren was removed passively from the fraternity. He was never going to harm me. Police said that after Boises removal, Youngren began making demands to see his mother, Boise and various members of the fraternity. He was negotiating with us through the windows, Renwick said. Police soon evacuated houses in the surrounding neighborhood, including frat-
nernity members from both Lambda Chi and Tau Kappa Epsilon. At some point during the situation, Youngren fired one round from his weapon at the floor. At press time, it was unclear if this was before or after police removed Boise from the fraternity house. Youngren surrendered to police at around 6:30 p.m.

The station cost $13 million to build, $4 million of which came from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, said Barbara DiCianno, a city ofcial. The opening of the new station in Reno comes a year after the opening of a new station in Sparks, updating the areas bus transportation system.
will stimulate small business in the area. The station is zoned for mixed usage and should draw a variety of business in the form of restaurants and other small enterprises such as dry cleaning, DiCianno said. The previous 16-bay bus station was built in 1986. Archer said the station was outdated. The new station cost $13 million $4 million of which came from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, DiCianno said. The station was a prudent use of the federal stimulus money because it employed 457 people since construction began in April 2009, she said. With a 30-year projected lifespan, the station will benet the community for years to come, Archer said.

Nevada, Reno debate team held a public debate on Monday to address budget solutions for Nevada. The event was meant to increase awareness of potential budget cuts to education, encourage people to vote and raise awareness of the debate team, said Max Alderman, one of the debaters. For more information on the debate team, e-mail the teams coach, Phil Sharp, at psharp@unr.edu. By Ben Miller
In order to raise awareness of higher education budget issues in the election, the University of Nevada, Renos debate team held a public debate Monday. The team discussed the pros and cons of implementing a corporate income tax in Nevada to raise revenue for the states primary, secondary and postsecondary education systems, according to debate team coach Phil Sharp. Ideas such as this tend to be neglected before elections, he said. Obviously, some of our politicians dont like to talk about taxes around election time, Sharp said. The idea of raising taxes must be considered by politicians in the next scal biennium, said Heath Morrison, superintendent of Washoe County School District and the keynote speaker of the event. The various people running for ofce have said theyre going to solve the decit without raising taxes, and that puts a lot of things on the table for cuts, Morrison said. A lot of people are concerned and have questions. Morrison said more needs to be done than simply solving the budget crisis. Schools need to be a part of reforming the way education is approached in Nevada and what goals it aims for, he said. In terms of our response to the state, we need to be part of the conversation about what kinds of businesses we want to attract, Morrison said. The debate was an effective way to consider budget solutions because it argued for and against a specic proposal, Max Alderman, one of the debaters, said. In a debate, the discussion is similar to the ones that happen in legislative sessions and election debates, he said. In addition to arguing questions on the issues, the debate was meant to persuade people to vote, Sharp said. Here in Nevada, we have some races that have been highly-publicized, and for that reason it may be more important to some, he said. But voting is a duty that everyone shares.

ALUMNUS SUCCESS
Kevin K i Grant, G t an alumnus l
of the University of Nevada, Reno, got a job in Sweden three months after graduating in May. He works for a company called Qubulus, which is developing an application for mobile phones that will accurately track where a user is inside a building.
signment at the company was Salamander, a demonstration of the companys idea, which is expanded by their latest project, Gecko. The project developed the idea of highly-accurate indoor positioning a system that allows market researchers to analyze exactly where someone is inside a building, and thus where advertising efforts should be directed. But more than that, Grant brought the good ol US startup vibe to the company, Schuil said. For Grant, that work ethic is dened by efciency and creativity and was cultured by Sergiu Dascalu, one of Grants engineering professors. An interesting practice that was instilled in me in the
engineering department was to always know what your teammates were working on, Grant said. Time is money, and two people concurrently working on the same problem without collaboration is one of the biggest money wasters in the industry. The company plans to release the full version of its application, Gecko, on Dec. 1. The application for smart phones will make a deal with users, Grant said. It will offer the user coupons for visiting a certain area, or tell the user where an event or service is in return for letting the program track their movement there. Grant said in order to protect the privacy of users, personal data will never be associated with specic individuals. Data will be provided mainly for businesses to assess their own trafc ow, he said. He envisions the application being widely used. If I told you there was a UNR (application) that told you where the closest printer you could use for free was, and in return I just wanted to record the path you took to get there, 90 (percent) of students would use it in a heartbeat, Grant said. Dascalu said Grants consciousness of students at UNR is an indication of the importance his education played in his life

environmental affairs manager, said many of the scores are arbitrary and dont reect current progress. The Sustainability Endowment Institute has been warned of gross errors in their report card, but has yet to improve their data-collecting processes. Theyre putting out false info and they know it, Sagebiel said. Their approach is bordering on exploitation. Theyre telling us, well give you an F if you dont do what we tell you to do. UNR received an F for endowment transparency in 2009, a B in 2010 and a C for 2011. But nothing has changed concerning the universitys endowment policy over the past three years, Sagebiel said. Although the Nevada System of Higher Education handles endowment investments for UNR and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the two universities have received inconsistent scores. NSHE handles all of UNR and UNLVs investments, Sagebiel said. Nothing has changed Our money is invested by exactly the same people, in exactly the same way. And yet there are two radically different ratings. In July, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education issued an open letter to the Sustainability Endowment Institute and six other rating organizations. The letter, signed by Sagebiel and environmental management faculty of 42 other universities, requested that rating organizations demonstrate their credentials in sustainability appraisal and

offer universities an opt-out from surveys. Providing information to a number of organizations can be taxing on limited green resources, Sagebiel said. UNRs failure to gather requested endowment information resulted in an F for its endowment transparency in 2009. The open letter also requested a higher level of accountability in verifying up to date information. UNRs food services has made considerable progress over the past year, Sagebiel said. But consecutive Cs in food and recycling fail to reect new progress. Russ Myers, director of Food Services, said the Sustainability Endowment Institutes rating standards are still ambiguous. Although the report card was issued for 2011, many of Food Services recent achievements are not taken into account, he said. Food Services got rid of food-carrying trays in August to reduce waste. All food waste is weighed and composted in the universitys composter, which was added this fall. The report card didnt reect these advancements. The Sustainability Endowment Institute awards higher scores to universities that use local produce. The standard is not applicable to all schools, Myers said. If thats their criteria, were at a disadvantage because we dont have a lot of locally grown produce here, he said.

The matter was investigated, leading to dozens of federal citations against UNR. Throughout the trial and subsequent appeals, Hussein failed to provide the court with sufcient evidence to prove his claims, according to court documents. In its justication for ordering him to pay the defenses legal fees, the United States District Court in Nevada rebuked Hussein for not bringing sufcient evidence with his claims and then refusing to drop defendants from his lawsuit when the court ordered him to do so. Dr. Hussein transformed what could have and should have been a straightforward employment matter into a fullscale assault against nearly everyone who crossed his path, Judge James C. Mahan wrote in his judgment for that court. In a statement released after the ruling, NSHE Chancellor Dan Klaich said he was pleased to see the matter come to a close, stopping a drain on the resources. UNR Spokeswoman Jane Tors said the university looks forward to putting the matter behind it, and will continue to defend itself against the more than dozen other appeals Hussein still has pending against it.

Whether youre Mexican-American, AfricanAmerican, Asian-American, youre American rst. Ads that target specic populations such as Hispanics assume all members of an ethnicity will all vote for the same candidate, which is a misconception, Grey said. When youre of a demographic, I think theres a perception that youre going to vote a certain way, she said. But youre not bound by ethnicity when you vote. Local Democrat and Republican parties called the ad despicable and wrong. During a campaign rally Oct. 20 at UNR, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called the ad unfair to Hispanic voters. Its hard for me to comprehend anything in the political world thats more unfair or just plain dumb than telling people not to vote, he said before a crowd of about 200 supporters in the Virginia Street Gym. Virginia Dugan, secretary of the Washoe County Republican Party, said the ad was not endorsed or commended by the Washoe County Republican Party. We believe thats totally wrong, she said.

Settlement
The nal three payments will come from the MWCs revenue distribution, Groth said. We would have preferred getting out earlier but do understand the WACs concerns, Glick said. We did not wish to hurt the WAC. WAC Commissioner Karl Benson said in a teleconference that although the conference originally sought $5 million from the schools, it was important to get the details down rather than face a lengthy court battle. The six WAC presidents and chancellors believe it is more important to settle the termination date at this time, rather than being tied up in court for several more months before knowing the status of the 201112 season, Benson said. Benson said if Nevada and Fresno State left, it would have threatened the conferences automatic qualifying status in several NCAA sports.
Groth said although the school preferred to leave next year, having an extra year provides some benets to the school. Groth said the athletics department will spend the next year mustering more excitement for the schools move to the new conference. It gives us a year to generate some enthusiasm and some revenue to move our programs forward, Groth said. We know where were at next year and know where were going to be in 2013. One of the main ways Groth said the university plans to accomplish this by scheduling MWC opponents as non-conference opponents in all sports so students can see the level of competition across the board the Wolf Pack will be facing in coming years. Although the settlement means Nevada will have to stay in the WAC for an extra year, Groth said the university will continue to look for opportunities to thrive. Were excited about the move, but we understand where

were at and what conference were at for the next year and a half, Groth said. We have to make the best of it and go from there. The agreement nally puts an end to the dispute and gives Nevada and Fresno State a denitive timeline for its departure from the WAC. It will increase external revenue for athletics and it will allow us to play traditional rivalries against Boise State and UNLV and up the level of competition, Glick said.

Vote
perhaps the question to ask is not why dont people vote, but why they ever do, said David Ryfe, a journalism professor at UNR. Many students believe their vote holds little sway overall and nd it isnt worth spending time that would be better used studying for classes or doing other activities, Ryfe said. Daniel Trouwborst, an 18-yearold math major, said he is registered to vote in Colorado but is uninformed and uninterested in the election this year. The midterm is too much to keep track of with homework and classes to pay attention to, he said. I havent really followed anything, Trouwborst said. I dont really know whats going on. Aside from being too busy, Trouwborst said he and his peers feel like their votes will change little in a system already set in stone. Younger people think their one vote wont make a difference, he said. Thats how I feel
sometimes. Like Trouwborst, many youth are disaffected by the raging political debates that sweep up the country biannually, said Eric Herzik, a UNR political science professor. A lack of relevance can result in apathy, he said. Much of it centers from a general lack of interest in politics, Herzik said. People often do not feel that politics matters in their daily life. This is especially the case for younger voters who are often less xed to a particular location But student attitude toward voting can change with exposure, said Jordan Butler, a member of the nonpartisan voting promoters Re-Energize the Vote. Butler has been asking students to vote on campus since mid-August. Students will participate in the political process if they are engaged but someone needs to get the idea in their head, he said. I think if we hadnt been here, students wouldnt have been exposed (to the political process), Butler said. As far as registering
to vote is concerned, people dont wake up in the morning and think about it. Khang Le, a 18-year-old electrical engineering major, said hes tired of political advertisements and people asking him to vote. He said fellow students have pestered him about voting for months. Le called his generation lazy when it comes to political involvement. This laziness is more than just student ignorance of politics, Herzik said. The end result is the younger generation being disregarded by politics. By not being a coherent or forceful voting block, the interests of youth do get less attention from political decision makers, he said. Older voters have a disproportionate say on issues relating to, say, healthcare or social security because they vote.

An AMNESTYfor 13 to 20 million illegal aliens, with a price tag of 2.6 Trillion dollars to process each individual and subsidize their welfare programs, according to the Heritage Foundation.

Harry Reid voted to continuously fund Sanctuary cities and States, so did Senator Barbara Boxer of California. Harry Reid and the majority of democrats crashed American-English as the recognized language of this country, and voted for illegal aliens to participate in our wilting Social Security System. Senator Reid, Boxer and the largest proportion of LibDemocrats voted equally, to what top Democrats wanted every time. This is sheer madness when his Nevada has the largest proportion of jobless Americans, the highest rate of bankruptcies and home foreclosures.

fter months of bickering, the Nevada athletics department will enter the Mountain West Conference in the 2012-13 academic year not a year earlier as it hoped. And instead of paying a $5 million fine to the Western Athletic Conference, it will pay a $900,000 settlement. But why does it even have to pay that? Because its less than Nevada would pay taking the case to court. President Milton Glick said Nevada didnt know
how high legal costs might be if it pursued the case, but a court battle would likely be expensive. His decision should be applauded given the circumstances of the case and the need to move forward for the parties involved. Its easy to say Nevada should push the case, considering the evidence in its favor. But its hard to blame anybody for this mess, or say Nevada should have handled it differently, because so much of what transpired
went on behind closed doors. Nevada and Fresno State, schools that made the decision to depart Aug. 9, decided last week to pay a $900,000 settlement even though they are making the June 2011 deadline (however, the deadline itself is debatable) by 10 months to avoid making an already nasty divorce nastier. Despite the debate, Nevada had a favorable deal. Settling is a smart choice. Not only did the MWC waive the conference entrance fee, it will also pay
the final three payments of $180,000 of the settlement charges. The WAC has agreed to pay for the first. Both conferences will use money they would have given to Nevada from game revenue, and pay for the settlement instead. Plus Nevada and Fresno State have an extra year to prepare. Neither athletics department is on par competitively or monetarily with Boise State and this extra year of preparation is much needed. But the dust has settled.
Nevada is ready to leave the WAC in 2012-13 and the WAC will get its fair compensation. Now, Nevada can get ready to rub the University of Nevada Las Vegas nose in its football inferiority with more than a head to head match up each year it can do it as a superior player in conference standings. Lets move on, and play ball.

his past Saturday, as I strapped on the last tea bag to my belt loop and wrote Wheres the birth certicate?!?! on my Sharron Angle T-shirt, I knew the night was going to be weird. Halloween is when freaks and crazies come out of the woodwork. Nowhere is this truer than with gay men. Halloween in the gay world is like mixing porn with horror lms. Amidst scantily-clad men and ghoulish women, Halloweeners will nd a scene most horrifying and dangerous. Gay bars on the weekends get pretty crazy, but when people throw on more makeup and glitter than usual, its almost unbearable. There are a multitude of costumes out and about, but three specic costumes plague the gay community on Halloween.
Top Halloween Weekend Events: 1) Zombie Crawl 2) Carving pumpkins... 348) Go to a football game.
As sure as kids will chomp down on candy corn, there will always be overweight gay men trying to t into skimpy costumes that would even make Christina Aguilera look fat. Gay men think its funny or sexy to wear a Lieutenant Dangle costume. While I didnt mind seeing the hot cop downtown, I remembered later, after seeing a fat man in the same garb at the 5 Star Saloon, that some people should never wear those costumes. Beware the not-sosexy stripper, as he is the grabbiest one at the bar.

Exhibitionism can be fun, but try not to take it too far over the edge
ex is amazing. Yet every so often (more often than we think), peoples sexual behaviors bring unwanted feelings and harm upon others. The topic for this week is exhibitionism, which is dened by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as the act of showing ones genitals to another unexpecting individual without consent known as ashing. However, it is important to keep in mind that one of the distinguishing factors in this behavior being labeled as a mental disorder is Tarah the issue of Bowser controlling the impulses to expose oneself. So dont assume the streakers at the college games are all clinically diagnosable. Although it is a rather odd thing to do, it is funny nonetheless! Heres some food for thought: When you hear the label sex offender, what image or type of person pops into your head? Was it the dirty old man in a raincoat stereotype?

The truth is that in reported cases of exhibitionism (criminal and psychological proles), the demographics seem to favor a more frequent occurrence in teenage to young adult males. In fact, cases in which the offender is older than 50 are extremely rare. Still, keep in mind that exhibitionism in merely one of the paraphilias listed in the DSM. Those dirty old men are still out there! There are numerous theories to explain why people are or become exhibitionists. The biological theory holds that higher testosterone levels increase the likelihood of the disorder, mainly because it increases the sex drive and makes male urges far more intense. Learning psychologists hold that the behavior is a learned defense in response to emotional abuse as a child. Other theories have to do with correlations between exhibitionism and brain damage as well as Attention Decit Hyperactive Disorder. Like I mentioned already, cases of exhibitionism are more prominently seen in younger males. However, this is not to say that there are no female exhibitionists. Part of the reason for a
low frequency in occurrence in females could be due to the fact that women are more likely to get away with ashing. Perhaps theyre sneakier about it. I swear ofcer, I thought the window was closed while I was undressing! Sure! In any case, I read a quote that brings up a good point. It said that men exhibit nothing but the genitals while women exhibit everything, but the genitals. Think about the way college girls dress. Technically, most of us are guilty of socially sanctioned exhibitionism at one time or another. Personally, I think being naked is natural and awesome. However, subjecting others to your naked body without their consent is inappropriate and should be controlled in some way. If you feel the need to expose yourself, you should ask rst. Since exhibitionism is one of the top three reasons for being charged as a sex offender, you dont want to take any chances. Thats the naked truth.

What is your favorite Halloween costume?
I saw a guy make a homemade Link costume once. It had everything from a bomb bag to a boomerang. Plus, Zelda is my favorite game. There was a taco costume on sale for dogs. It had a picture of a pug in a taco suit. It was adorable. My favorite costume was one I made. I was Pyramid Head from Silent Hill. I won the costume contest that year. I tried to convince my boyfriend to wear a Lieutenant Dangle costume. It was hilarious but he wouldnt buy it.

NON-PARTISAN POLITICS
This bickering among adults is worse than listening to my 3-year-old cousin throw a temper tantrum. Every other year around this time, I hear people complain about how they cant wait for this election to be over. But this year, people are giving up altogether. The animosity the Reid and Angle campaigns created has caused many people to declare that they wont vote this year because Angle is not an acceptable replacement for Reid. That certainly is your right. No one is going to send the town mob, complete with pitchforks, on you if you dont vote. But Senate and gubernatorial campaigns are not the only elections happening. There is more riding on this election cycle than just whos headed to Washington and
whos moving into the governors mansion. Remember, we are voting for whoever will represent us in the House as well as numerous state positions where political hopefuls are just waiting to serve you. I know in one of my past columns, I advocated against choosing the None of the Above option on the ballot. But if you really cant force yourself to choose between Reid or Angle, dont just stay home and ignore the signicance of what it means to be. Choose None of the Above. There are other candidates who need your support. Anywhere I go on campus, I hear students complain about how no one cares about us, no one hears our voices. But then I hear those same voices claim they wont vote. Im gonna stick it to the man.
Ill show them. Well, heres the opportunity to be heard. If you dont vote, you dont have the right to complain about how your government is running. Not voting and complaining about government is like complaining that your house is dirty without ever cleaning it. You have no right to be upset that your government isnt helping you if you dont help the people running it hear what you want. There are people dying in the Middle East to have the chance to have a voice in their government. We have a responsibility to not only ourselves and other adults, but to those who arent eligible to vote yet.

ASUN MUST CREATE NON PARTISAN POLICY
On Oct. 25 5:05 p.m., WTF wrote: This is stupid. So ASUN ofcials cant be introduced with their title at events on campus? Theres a difference between an endorsement by an organization and someone being introduced with their appropriate title. Lets be real, no one thought ASUN was endorsing Harry Reid or anyone else. Everyone who was there and had an IQ over 30 knew that Leissan was simply expressing her PERSONAL opinion, which last I checked, public ofcials were able to do. Were any ASUN resources used on this event? No. Was there a formal endorsement? No. Did Leissan say she was representing ASUN? No. Was she introduced and used her titled, a proper action on campus, at an event she believed in? Yes. Maybe the Sagebrush could spend a little less time with their panties in a bunch and more time focused on those two gubernatorial candidates that they gave space to. What they do, what they plan to do, actually matters, not what some student was called at an event. I would have rather seen you guys spend your time and energy exploring the policy proposals by two men who will have a major inuence over the future of this institution and its students.

The fashion gods are calling for the double denim trend this season
Celebrities like Kanye West, David Beckham and Alexa Chung have been spotted recently in head-to-toe denim everywhere from runway shows to Rodeo Drive in California. D&Gs opening look for their spring 2010 line paired distressed-denim jackets with light-wash jeans. If you want to try the fashion forward denim ensemble, my words to you are to proceed with caution. To bring this look into season, make sure to go dark preferably a mid-wash for jeans and a deeper and navy-wash for jackets. Double denim evokes a masculine, work-wear vibe. Guys can play this up with a pair of Doc Martens, or black leather shoes. For girls, stay away from tennis shoes and go with a heeled boot with buckles, or risk looking like you just stepped out of a Saved by the Bell episode. If denim jackets arent up your alley, the chambray shirt is an alternate option. A chambray shirt works well for layering. For the fall, wear them open with a light annel and a T-shirt underneath, rolling the denim and annel to a get a ash of color. If you want to look more rocker and less hipster, basic black T-shirts or camisoles are an easy way to go. Beware of bandanas, however, as they will most likely project a Wild-West image. As winter creeps in, a simple leather jacket or heavy sweatshirt over a chambray shirt adds texture and warmth. In addition, a scarf can help you to layer textures without looking like youre trying too hard. When it comes to accessories, tread lightly. Denim, especially when there are two different colors and textures, looks busy enough. When donning rolled sleeves, steer clear of big watches or bracelets and focus on rings. That hemp friendship bracelet the hippie chick down the hall made you will work too, so long as there are no peace signs or beads to make you look like youre trying to audition for a Woodstock retrospective. However you choose to spin this look, remember one thing absolutely no cowboy boots. This isnt Madonnas Ray of Light music video, nor is campus the appropriate place to look like youre trying to break the record for bull riding. I wouldnt suggest belting the jeans either its likely to make you look less fashion forward and more truck driver. Also, its either denim jacket or chambray never both. Triple denim is a look even professional soccer player David Beckham cant pull off.

ERASERHEAD
its depiction of Hollywoods ruthless nature, and the toll it takes on those who have been knocked off the A-list. Similar to Eraserhead, its all in black and white, but does not cause the lm to feel dated in any way.
3. HEATHERS (1989)
Starring a young Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, the lm focuses on Veronica Sawyer and her peculiar boyfriend J.D. living in the world of the most powerful clique in school the Heathers. When a prank on the lead Heather (all three members of the clique are named Heather) turns into a murder, Veronica and J.D. quickly x the situation by framing the crime as a suicide. Films revolving around high schoolers usually lack intrigue and imagination, however, the ideas in Heathers extend far past the scope of the movie, dabbling in the media swaying public opinion and the generation gap. Relating to this lm is pretty easy its for anyone whos felt like an outcast in high school.
to decide what is more grating, Swifts voice or her terrible, underdeveloped lyrics. Dear John, is a thinlyveiled jab at singer John Mayer, who Swift dated last year while working on a song with him for his album, Battle Studies. Swift tries to spew venom, but instead ends up sounding like a pathetic little girl with no real grip on relationships like a little girl who takes fairytales too literally. She sings, My mother accused me of losing my mind but I swore I was fine/ You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain/And I lived in your chess game. The only redeeming quality of Dear John is how Swifts vocal progression is shown. Her voice in the song is the most rich and soulful sounding it has ever been. Innocent, Swifts highly anticipated response to the whole Kanye West 2009 MTV Video Music Awards incident, is laughable at best. Swift
tries to come off forgiving and preachy Mother Teresa-like, but instead sounds foolish and self-righteous. She condescendingly sings to West, Its OK, life is a tough crowd/32, and still growin up now/Who you are is not what you did/Youre still an innocent. Swifts lack of self-awareness is once again apparent when she ironically preaches about the importance of kindness in the song Mean, right before allegedly calling her exboyfriends (Joe Jonas) former fling, Camilla Belle, a slut of sorts in the song, Better Than Revenge. Surely, there are a lot of people who love Swifts style of music. After all, Speak Now is expected to sell about 1 million copies within the first week of its release. However, unless you enjoy listening to a grown woman refusing to mature and still sing about pubescent topics, then Speak Now is not the album for you.

some cheap, gimmicky way. Greutert wanted to direct Paranormal Activity 2, but Lionsgate forced him to direct Saw instead, so maybe he sabotaged the lm. One can only hope that was the case, because if this was his best effort, its best he stay away from the directors chair again. Its a shame since the rst Saw was genuinely creepy and relied more on mood to scare its audience. I was hoping Saw 3D would end the series on a high note. Instead, in a year thats seen its share of dumb horror lms, the series ends in a whimper and is possibly the worst lm of the season.

Local skate shop, Out of Bounds, closed Saturday citing economic woes as its primary reason.
One of the most important parts is making kids happy. Ive noticed the kids here and that are part of the Out of Bounds team are more real. None of the other shops exactly had their nger on the pulse of skateboarding. Other skate shops in the Reno area include Eternal Boardshop and Zumiez. Eternal specializes in snowboarding, with little mention of skateboarding on their websites. Zumiez sells skateboards and accessories, often at a much cheaper rate than independently-run businesses. Glen Sandau, 20, a local skateboarder, has shopped at Out of Bounds and Zumiez for many reasons. I bought a lot of my stuff from Out of Bounds when I moved to Reno, but lately Ive been going to Zumiez. There, you can get a full skateboard for $100-$140. The last setup I got was $99 and it wasnt bad for being only 100 bucks, Sandau said. A lot of us like to shop at Out of Bounds. We live right next to it. If you need a part right then, its easier to go to Out of Bounds but the price difference is way better so its worth it to go to Zumiez. Jess Anderson, a 15-year-old local skateboarder that frequents the skate park at Idlewild, said some of his friends were sponsored by Out of Bounds and now will have to start looking for other sponsors. He agrees closing the shop will have a negative outcome for the skateboarding community in Reno. I think itll affect skaters in general. There might be less people skating at the plaza. If someone breaks a board, itll probably take them longer to get a new one, Anderson said. Itll denitely affect where skaters go when they arent skating. Grifn said despite closing Out of Bounds, the staff plans to open a nonprot indoor skateboarding facility where they will hold a skate camp. There, shop team members will act as teachers for younger skaters. She said she is unsure when the

With enough monsters and madmen in his selections to do justice to Halloween weekend, college professor Joe Hunt read aloud from his new collection Dead Mens Tale at Sundance Bookstore on Friday and at Borders on Saturday. I woke up one morning with a vision, Hunt said, who teaches at both the University of Nevada, Reno and Truckee Meadows Community College. I thought, I have to do a Halloween reading. Hunt divided his reading into segments, beginning with pirates, progressing to monsters and swamp creatures, and culminating with the grand nale a bonus ghost story, as he called it Felix Cube and the Fog Monster. He even drew illustrations on postersized paper to go along with his reading of the nal tale. Other elements of Hunts quirky personality shone throughout the evening, both in his style of reading and, of course, in the poetry itself. He made a point of addressing the audience to explain potentially confusing references in his poems, such as the Roger (referring to the Jolly Roger, otherwise known as the Grim Reaper) and an allusion to a James Brown song. He was easy, open and humorous, taking on different voices for different speakers and even allowing for some audience participation. His quirky sense of humor came through clearly in his poems. At the beginning of the evening, in the few minutes before the reading began, an audience member asked Hunt if he knew any Halloween jokes. All of the poems are jokes,

he quipped, and he seemed to be summing up the evenings readings in one easy sentence. In spite of their amusing qualities or perhaps because of them Hunts poems also hinted at something deeper. While outwardly discussing Dracula and Frankenstein, they also delved into the root of the human condition and what motivates us to act. By approaching this age-old subject in a new, fresh way, Hunts poems achieved what many others fail to do they catch their readers attention and keep it. Most people dont like poetry, Hunt said. I dont like regular poems. Hunts poems certainly cant be categorized as regular. In what he chose to read from his collection, he touched on Dracula remembering what it is like to feel young again, why parrots are always the companions of pirates, the bride of Frankenstein, if radishes keep away vampires and so much more. Most importantly, he seems to be following his own advice to readers: If you dont like poetry, maybe youre reading the wrong stuff.

1. ERASERHEAD (1976)
Eraserhead was the rst lm that blew my mind. The lm follows a man named Henry Spencer living in a world ravaged by industrialism. He copes with living in a nearapocalyptic reality by fantasizing about a woman living in his radiator with a disgured face. The world of Eraserhead is heavily weighted with symbolism and surrealism, but rather than the dreamy ambiance of many lms, this lm feels more like a nightmare. Accurately describing the lms meticulous details is a lost cause. It is simply something to be experienced and interpreted. It surpasses most viewers comprehension of the traditional lm. Be warned its the closest youll ever get to having a bad acid trip without committing a felony.

Unfortunately, theres not a lot of it because the companies havent realized it. But now everyone who knows about it from the Con can tell their friends. SNAFU Con, which attracted about 700 guests, hosted guest speakers and how-to workshops on various aspects of the genre and subgenres. Much of the conference focused on teaching people how to break into the industry, whether it be through voice acting or drawing. Aside from more local conventions, enthusiasts said they think Reno could benet from more meet-up events, anime-themed arcades and more venues that sell a wider variety of merchandise. Christine Sullivan, a 19-year-old Carson City resident, moved to the area about one year ago from the East Coast where she said the fan base for anime is much larger. I havent seen a lot in Reno, she said. Sure theres a whole bunch of fans here, but theyre not as networked. Sullivan said she thinks the Con, which she attended, is a great starting point to seeing the genre become more available in Reno.
The Internet is de a big part of the enitely n movement gaining gp popularity, she said. The Internet ha anime has made access to anim m me much more convenient, since viewers no longer have to wait months for material to make it from Japan to the United States media. Before people could download lms and TV shows online, they would basically have to hope an anime series would make it onto a U.S. TV network.

Although many say the movement is quickly gaining more traction, it still battles stigmas that its followers are social retards.

Nevada hopes its boom box will improve its road results
Cory Thomas
Before home matches, the Nevada volleyball team sings and dances in its locker room to Whip My Hair by Willow Smith the teams favorite song to blast through its speaker system and get hyped up to. Since the team cant bring its locker room to road matches, head coach Devin Scruggs decided to bring a little boom box to emulate the teams home energy on the road. With its boom box handy, the team won both of its road games this weekend, doubling its road win total for the season. The Wolf Pack is 4-9 on the road and 9-2 at home this season. Its statistics are better across the board at home as well. Nevada is 23-12 at home in sets and 20-33 on the road, it has 84 more kills, and 85 less errors at home than on the road. The team says its easier to get energized for a game at home because of its locker room sound system. Our locker room has a pretty sweet sound system so on the road we bring just a tiny boom box and its not as loud, junior outside hitter Erin Garvey said. While the boom box, an iHome, is not as loud as the sound system in the locker room. Nevada is 2-1 in the three games it has used the system. I brought them a little boom box (against New Mexico State) so they were denitely rocking out and they actually had some really good energy, Scruggs said.
ROAD FACTS
In the Wolf Packs last three road games it brought an iHome to get the team pumped up. Players are forced to leave their hotel room for a couple of hours for every road match, in order for the team to stay loose. Some players say traveling is harder on the body. Nevada has 84 more kills and 85 less errors at home than on the road. The Wolf Packs record is 4-9 on the road, compared to 9-2 at home. The team earned its rst two-game road winning streak of the season by beating Fresno State and San Jose State.

Head coach David Carter will host the event where students will learn about traditions and cheers. Pizza will be provided. The cheerleaders will be there and video taken will be displayed on the Jumbotron during the season. The event is part of a movement by the university to draw more students to sporting events. The school is attempting to catapult school spirit. During the season, there will be a shuttle from the dorms to Lawlor Events Center. The athletics department gave out 700 to 800 student tickets per game last season, Darron Pinkney, Nevadas director of marketing, said. He said the goal this year is to give out 1,200 student tickets.

THE SKINNY: The Wolf Pack go on the road to face Idaho with something to prove. While it did beat Utah State last week, Nevada was outscored in the second half 41-21 and the defense allowed the Aggie quarterback to throw for a season high 399 yards. The Wolf Pack will be looking for a blowout to prove it belongs among the top 25 teams in the nation. The Vandals are coming off a loss at Hawaii where Idaho was thumped 45-10. The Vandals record is now 4-4 and will be looking to rebound and knock off a Top-25 team.

THE SKINNY: Nevada earned its rst road win streak beating Fresno State and San Jose State last week. The Wolf Pack plays two games at home this week where it has fared much better. The team is 9-2 at home and 4-9 on the road. However, Nevada played at Idaho and lost 3-1, so the team will look to even the series. The Wolf Packs second game is against Boise State, which Nevada has already played on the road this season, winning 3-1. If the team wins, it will hold a two game lead for the third spot in the WAC.
Running back Mike Ball had 58 yards and two rushing touchdowns against Utah State.

Harrington recorded 23 kills in Nevadas 3-1 win on the road against Fresno State. She also had 13 kills at San Jose State. With her performance, Harrington helped give Nevada its rst road-winning streak, at two games. It also doubled its road wins and is now 4-9 on the road. Her 23 kills is a season high and its the second time this season she has totaled 20 or more kills. Junior Ellie Stott scored both of Nevadas goals against Hawaii on Friday. It was a game in which the Wolf Pack had to win to have a chance at making the Western Athletic Conference tournament. Her second goal came with less than a minute left in the second overtime on an assist from Vanessa Mann. Both of her goals in the game were her rst and second goals of the season and could not have come at a better time. However, since Fresno State tied Boise State, the Wolf Pack is out of the tournament. With Vai Taua out of the game against Utah State with an ankle injury, running back Mike Ball was one of several players to step in and ll the position. Ball stood out and found the end zone three times as the Wolf Pack won 56-42. He rushed for 58 yards and two touchdowns and caught a pass for an 8-yard touchdown. His rushing touchdowns were the rst of the season for him.

It will be a rough trip through the rst season as the young team molds and learns, but Carters success in the next two seasons will prove whether his philosophy works...
Deonte Burton. Say goodbye to Joey Shaw and say hello to Malik Story wow, doesnt that feel good to say? One of the biggest improvements is in the teams leadership department. Instead of Fields as the oldest player to look up to, Nevada has Dario Hunt and Illiwa Baldwin. Hunt is the Air Force brat who leads by example and, according to Baldwin, someone everyone listens to. Baldwin, the 24-year-old Australian transfer, is already getting pegged as the grandpa on the court. Hes the old guy with the accent that Devonte Elliot said drives the players to Wal-mart when they need more food. That kind of approachable leadership is a far cry from the vibes that Fields gave. The 2009-10 team still had lingering effects of Foxs coldness. Fox the same coach that would interrupt his players in interviews and stomp on the court with his shoe harder than the Raiders stomped on the Broncos last week left a culture that wasnt easy to shake. But just last month, players and coaches were laughing with members of the media as Nevadas media day was conducted in a laid-back, cheerful manner. Even during the teams rst press conference last week, players were relaxed and excited to start the season. But it wasnt naive optimism. Burton expressed concern about how he was nding success in his freshman classes much easier than grasping Carters intricate offensive game plan. Carters laid-back, player-friendly style shouldnt be mistaken for weakness from his players. He is still a demanding presence on the team even though he might not stomp his shoes on the court to get their attention. With Carters rst clean slate in 2010, the second-year head coachs philosophy toward his players, on the court and with the media, will be tested. It will be a rough trip through the rst season as the young team molds and learns, but Carters success in the next two seasons will prove whether his philosophy works, or whether Nevada needs another drill sergeant in town.

Boom box
Nevada won its last two games beating Fresno State 3-1 and San Jose State 3-2. Scruggs said that music plays an important role for this team in nding its energy. (Music) is more of an environment thing where it kind of relaxes everyone and puts us in a different state of mind where its more being excited than being nervous, freshman Grace Anxo said. This is just one of the elements Scruggs implemented to try to make the team feel more comfortable. Scruggs forces her players to leave their hotel room while on the road to stay loose, as well. We either go to the gym to do a short workout, just to get them moving around or we literally make them get out of the hotel room and they have to go for a walk or they have to go walk around at a mall. They have to physically be moving and not lying (around) watching TV, Scruggs said. Scruggs said some of the players dont like to leave the hotel room and that she sometimes has to make them. I only want to stay in if I have school work to get done and if I dont I just feel kind of antsy and I want to get up and get moving, Anxo said. So its denitely a nice thing that we all have the opportunity to get up and get out of the hotel room otherwise you would be more in a prison, so its nice to get out of it. For Garvey, sitting in the hotel room is not a big deal. Traveling

on the bus or the plane takes more out of her. Its more the traveling thats hard on our body, that wears you out more than sitting around in the hotel, Garvey said. Tatiana Santiago said the team spends about 10 hours waiting around on road trips. We spend more time waiting in airports and traveling than we do practicing and playing, Santiago said. Getting out of the hotel room and making sure the team gets enough sleep are priorities Scruggs and the rest of Nevadas staff have enforced the entire season, but the boom box is something the coaches have really implemented to get more road wins.
The Wolf Pack has a 9-2 record at home. On the road, the team is 4-9. Nevada won two road matches last weekend.
Music certainly is something that can really get the emotions pumping, especially with this team, Scruggs said. They have little dance parties. Nevada has two road matches left before it plays in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament Nov. 22 in Las Vegas.
Run game
suspended for violating team rules earlier this season. Before the Utah State game, Ball had 58 yards after playing in four games. He doubled his season rush total, gaining 58 yards on just six carries an average of 9.7 yards per carry. He was running and catching, Taua said. He was doing it all on Saturday. For Ball, it was a chance to show people exactly the kind of potential he has after playing a minor role in the run game so
far this season. I tried to go out there and play hard, Ball said. We had an opportunity to perform so we had to show people what we could do. While Ball said he hopes this will lead to increased opportunities within the offense as the season progresses, he is more than happy with his job on the team. We all have roles, Ball said. If its not in the cards to get more touches, Im not complaining. I want to do whatever it takes to help the team win.

We were just hitting the post and hitting the keeper, senior Erin Smith said prior to the teams nal three games. We just couldnt seem to nd the corner of the goals. As the losses piled up, senior Alyx Sacks said the team kept focused and didnt get frustrated. Coach (Price) kept telling us to keep playing the way we are and things will fall into place, Sacks said. Price said that despite having to watch the tournament from home instead of competing, she was proud of the way the team played throughout the season. Theres a difference between losing games and playing badly and losing when you play well, the rst-year head coach said. I thought we played well and were aggressive all season long.

In the rst half, the Nevada defense held the Aggies to 98 yards of total offense as the Wolf Pack took a 35-0 lead into halftime. However, in the second half the Nevada defense allowed 392 total yards and 42 points. Defensively speaking, I cant think of another time in my career here that Ive seen a group play a worse half of football than our group played in the second half, head coach Chris Ault said. Im really disappointed. There are no excuses for the way they played. Defensive back Doyle Miller
BIG PLAYS
The Wolf Pack and Utah State had some big plays, making what was a blowout at halftime a shootout in the end. Four of the Aggies plays totaled more than 20 yards in the second half. Quarterback Diondre Borel threw for 399 yards. He completed passes for 63, 27, 35 and 25 yards. The Aggies other big play came on a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Kerwynn Williams.

going to play. If the game is moved to a different day, the home school receives $75,000. The road team does not receive anything. According to Hackett, ESPN has to give the school 12-day notice before changing a kickoff time. ESPN moved ve of the Wolf Packs kickoff times this season. Hackett said he did not immediately know the specics of the WACs deal with ESPN, but he said the contract is a doubleedged sword. To be honest, we didnt think (ESPN) would pick up our game against Utah State, Hackett said. It gave people the hard choice of choosing between the game and doing Halloween stuff. But theres a lot of exposure in it for us. It heightens the exposure of the University of Nevada and shows that ESPN likes us. Wolf Pack football head coach Chris Ault said he doesnt like playing night games because it makes the day longer and said
that, many times, the change in kickoff times is not welcome. You know, not many coaches are in favor of them running it but thats the game, Ault said. Its all conference-oriented and all about money. Many students and Nevada fans also complained about the change in the kickoff time against Utah State. While the Wolf Pack has consistently drawn big crowds this season, averaging 22,464 fans in its four home games prior to Saturday, the announced crowd was barely more than half of that total. In addition, the Wolf Pack student section, which has regularly been packed this season, appeared about 60 percent lled. By the end of the game, it was essentially empty. Hackett said that if the game was left at its original 1:05 p.m. kickoff, he bets we have 18,000 or 19,000 people here. University of Nevada, Reno student Jeff Iddings, who attended each of the teams prior four home games, said he did not attend Saturdays game specically because of the change in kickoff time.
Plus, it was really cold, said the 20-year-old mechanical engineering major. Since its so late, after the game, Im just dead-tired. This was a bad move, especially on Halloween weekend. I ended up going to a party. I dont know anyone who went to the game. Iddings added that he did not like that the team has not had a Saturday afternoon game so far this season. He said late kickoffs make attending the games a hassle because people have to choose between other events. Most of the time, Saturday night is the last night (of the weekend), he said. Most people dont want to spend their whole night being cold at a football game. If they had them in the afternoon, people will come because they most likely dont have anything else to do in the day. Despite the drop in attendance and subsequent loss in revenue from concessions, Hackett said the athletics department has not tracked the loss in revenue when moving kickoff to a later time.

OVERRATED
Although the Vandals have a 4-4 record ord on the our wins season, it is very misleading. Idahos four came against North Dakota State, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Western Michigan an and New Mexico State teams with a combined ed d record of 11-21. In Idahos four losses, all to teams with winning ith wi w nning records, Enderle has struggled, throwing eight ng e ight interceptions. Idahos defense isnt helping either. In each of the teams losses, the Vandals dals allowed at least 36 points. Idahos rush h defense e ranks sixth in the WAC, giving up 165 yards per game. Facing the nations fth-best st rush offense 300.88 yards per game Idaho daho will have its work cut out. A big factor in Idahos success in stopping pping the run will be senior defensive end Aaron aron ar Lavarias who leads the Vandals with 11 1 tackles for loss. If he cant penetrate Nevadas evadas backeld the Wolf Pack will likely have e its way on the ground. Idaho has yet to beat a Football Championmpionship Subdivision opponent with a winning ning record, proving that the Vandals success ss may have more to due with its shabby opponents onents than the quality of its play.

KEY MATCHUP
STAFF PICKS
OPTIMIST SAYS: The Wolf Packs defensive breakdown against Utah State was due more to lack of focus than any major problems. With the offense rolling, the Vandals defense is helpless to stop the Wolf Pack offense as Nevada gains more than 200 yards on the ground and 500 yards of total offense. Quarterback Colin Kaepernick has a big day and scores four touchdowns as Nevada dominates every aspect of the game. OUTCOME: Nevada wins 63-10 PESSIMIST SAYS: Nevadas horrendous effort on defense against Utah State in the second half means one thing the return of the Wolf Packs terrible secondary. Idaho quarterback Nathan Enderle carves up the Wolf Pack secondary and the Idaho defense does just enough to contain Kaepernick. The game becomes a shootout with the Vandals winning late in the game as Nevada suffers its second loss of the year. OUTCOME: Idaho wins 45-35
