Free parking for athletics, others pay extra

By Ben Miller and Miwako Schlageter
A new policy this year that excuses the athletics department from paying for fan parking during games contributed to a $25 increase in the price of all parking permits for students, according to university ofcials. The move, which University of Nevada, Reno President Marc Johnson said can be attributed to budgetary constraints in the face of a massive state decit last year, exacerbated problems such as long walks and expensive pricing that students and faculty had already noted with campus parking. When the measure came before the University Parking Board in April, its members asked administrators to reconsider it because of the effects it could have for students already facing rising tuition costs in a down economy, said Jodi Herzik, a representative on the board last year. But administrators ultimately decided to continue with the plan. It just hurt, she said. It hurt as an employee, and we knew it would hurt students with their fees increased and (it would hurt) staff as well. Sarah Foster, a 23-year-old secondary education major, said the cost of parking was already too much for her. Instead, she turned to streets adjacent to the campus. Ive never paid for parking at UNR because I always thought the prices were outrageous, Foster said. More so now. Other students supported the decision because of the necessity to meet funding constraints. Travis Holland, an 18-year-old business major, took on the price of a permit this year. Im OK with it because I think the school needs to bring in people to support athletics, Holland said. Athletics originally paid the self-supporting Parking and Transportation Services department for fan parking spaces on game days, but when administrators cut $1 million out of their biannual budget, they excused them from paying for those spaces, Johnson said. The resulting loss of revenue for Parking and Transportation added $170,000 onto a projected

Binge drinking sends students to hospital

By Ben Miller
It was about 11 p.m. Saturday night when a student in Manzanita Hall called the University of Nevada, Reno Police Department seeking help for her friend, who had begun vomiting and had a blood alcohol concentration level exceeding .127, UNRPD Cmdr. Todd Renwick said. Emergency responders sent the female UNR student, who was of legal drinking age, to Saint Marys Regional Medical Center that night to recover, Renwick said. This incident was far from isolated; the average BAC for 13 alcohol-related incidents on and around campus the weekend of Sept. 9-11 was .124, Renwick said. Weekends with high average BACs are difcult to predict and cant necessarily be attributed to the beginning of the school year, Renwick said. But for the rst three weeks of classes, he said the number of incidents isnt low. Did it appear to us to be a lot? Well, yeah, he said. But I dont think this is the rst time weve had that many alcohol-related incidents. Campus police have noted many high-intensity alcohol

UNR at forefront of geothermal shift

By Riley Snyder
The University of Nevada, Reno is expanding its focus on geothermal energy after an inux in geothermal-related companies in the area throughout the past few years. According to local geothermal experts, the energy is plentiful in northern Nevada and in areas such as California and Wyoming, where its normally collected. Also, geothermal energy is often collected in underground, high temperature areas, according to information by the Union for Concerned Scientists. The capacity of the energy is similar to that of coal or nuclear energy, and companies in the area produce enough energy to power all of Reno. Nearly all 12 of the geothermal companies in the area are involved with UNR, leading to a greater focus on the subject, College of Engineering Dean Emmanuel Maragakis said. Look around the country, Maragakis said. Stanford has industries around (their) campus. I am convinced that for any technology, a good solid engineering college is necessary to attract companies with longterm interest. In 2000, UNR created the Great Basin Center for Geothermal Energy due to congressional renewable energy requirements. The federal government awarded the university a $1.2 million grant in 2010 to establish a geothermal training program including schools such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University and Stanford University.

Dr. Kwang Kim, who is currently working on several geothermalrelated projects, said Nevada has a unique advantage in its geothermal and solar resources. The question is how can we integrate these two to make the state viable? Kim said. You cant nd any other place in the world with those kind of resources available. One reason geothermal companies have come to Reno is the universitys number of knowledgeable engineering students, Moore said. In addition to the geothermal center at UNR, community colleges such as Truckee Meadows Community College have created programs designed to train workers for geothermalrelated jobs, Moore said. The universitys talent pool is huge, he said. The Geothermal Development Association designs and engineers geothermal power generation equipment and generally hires graduates and students from the university, said Steve Hirsch, vice president of the new project development. We try to do everything we can to help the university, to encourage the university, to do more in relation to geothermal (technology), Hirsch said. It benets us, it benets the industry in general.

USAC
Study abroad program celebrates legacy

By Devan Underwood
The University Studies Abroad Consortium started 29 years ago with a small group of people working to establish relationships with a region halfway across the world. In its rst year, the group sent 22 students to the Basque country on the SpanishFrench border, USAC director Carmelo Urza said. This year, the organization begun its 30th year with programs in 29 countries, according to its website. It has sent more than 25,000 students from several universities around the world to learn and experience different cultures during their studies, Urza said. University of Nevada, Reno President Marc Johnson lauded the group at a celebration in June for a new USAC location in Thailand. Isnt it nice to have developed a legacy? Johnson said while presenting Urza with a certicate to commend the anniversary. Urza said a universitys job today is to prepare students for a global workplace, and USAC has been a means of delivering that knowledge. Thirty years ago we thought our goal was to provide instruction, housing, a bit of tourism, Urza said. But now, we provide some internships, paid and unpaid, volunteering and the ability to work with locals. Were more specialized. Technologically, the USAC experience has evolved immensely. Today, program organizers in different countries can send emails to each other in a matter of minutes. But in USACs infant years, communication was limited to handwritten letters. It would take 10 days to deliver a letter to a foreign country and 10 days to get a response, Urza said. The new setting attracts a variety of students because of the wide range of opportunities studying abroad offers, he said. Not all students go for language study, Urza said. Many go to explore and build condence to overcome mental barriers of lack of experience. You see them three to four years later, and theyve transformed. Kathleen Phelan, an international affairs major, said studying abroad with USAC helped her become a global citizen not just because she was in a different country but because of the diversity of international students in her classroom. During the summer, Phelan interned for Sen. Harry Reid, DNev. She said another intern she worked with in Reids ofce also

studied abroad through USAC. Its a good icebreaker, she said. Its kind of like bonding because you were in the same sorority chapter. You nd common ground. Phelan said one thing her program in Torino, Italy could improve on is to mandate language classes through a students entire period studying abroad. Usually the cities arent touristy, she said. We were required to interact with landlords, waiters at restaurants, people on the streets all on our own. Its respectful to know the language and get along with the natives. For the next 30 years, Urza wants to continue creating more of what he calls wrinkles, or learning opportunities and connections for students.

Independent movie lmed on UNR campus

By Oanh Luc
Although closed on Labor Day, a group of college-aged people took up signs on the University of Nevada, Reno campus in protest of water shortages, marching on the south end of the MathewsonIGT Knowledge Center. But the issue they contested wasnt in Reno or even Nevada. It was for a ctional setting in California the hometown of one Michael Rodriguez in the movie Dam California, shot in part on the UNR campus. In the lm, lead actor Josh Reyes plays Rodriguez serves two tours in Iraq and comes home to nd his familys farmland completely dried out. He becomes suspicious and sets out to investigate the water company to see where the water is really being distributed, Reyes said. The Brian J. Whalen parking garage was used in the lm as well as the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center, which served as part of the water company. The modern and metropolitan look of the new library t well for the plotline, Director Isaac Pich said. The brick-work and the arches of the building itself made it look like it was something in San Jose or Sacramento or San Francisco or even Los Angeles, said Pich. It looked perfect, basically. Reyes contends that UNR is a beautiful campus with a beautiful location. Pich and crewmembers are locals of the Reno-Tahoe area. Pich hopes to shed some light on the issue of water rights and its scarcity through the production. Water is important, and its something that should be looked at. It should be looked at differently than its ever been looked at, Pich said. People are actually dying because the government comes in and starts charging people for water A lot of people, especially in America, take it for granted.

Brought up around agriculture in Central Valley, California and being a lmmaker since childhood, it was only natural for the two elements to come together, Pich said. Ultimately, he wants to spread awareness about water rights as well as entertain people. Were ultra low budget, Reyes said. But were making it happen because you have to believe in something. Reyes has been acting since he was 12 years old, and despite working on a number of different lms alongside Dam California, he believes Pich to be a phenomenal director. If everything runs smoothly, Pich said the movie is expected to wrap up Oct. 9. It will then be

UNRs parking department still projects a decit of about $190,000, Tors said. Administrators in the department plan to ll the hole through operational efciencies, she said. The increase, the rst in three years at UNR, is in line with parking fee hikes that have traditionally been raised every few years, Director of Parking and Transportation Services Melody Bayeld said. But the new policy didnt help with the decit that necessitated this years prices, she said. The changes have especially impacted students involved in medical elds, said Mike Maskaly, a development technician in the University of Nevada School of Medicine. With new buildings such as the Center for Molecular Medicine and the William Pennington Health Sciences Building opening on the north end of campus in the past two years, the demand for parking has increased. Bayeld said her
department shifted parking it had erased with the opening of the south campus Davidson Mathematics and Science Center to the areas around the new building. But the new spaces require users to display a silver permit the most expensive tag parking services offers. Student (hardship) is easy to see, Maskaly said in an email. But what about the nurses, medical assistants and staff who have seen their pay cut 12 (percent), no raises, and are expected to use their personal vehicles for tissue collection, lab supplies, nursing and technical support at off-campus locations? To avoid paying for silver parking spots, many of the students, faculty and staff who use the medical buildings have instead purchased blue and green passes, he said. But those with blue passes end up in an area that leaves them walking across space thats not always well-lit at night and offers no stops along the campus shuttle route, Maskaly said. Many end up walking up and down a steep

chapters, Morgan said. Still, a number of incidents have served to perpetuate the stereotype that Greek organizations only exist to get their members drunk, Morgan said. In 2007, a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity died after falling down a ight of stairs while intoxicated. In January, university administrators leveled charges of underage drinking against Pi Beta Phi sorority and Sigma Nu fraternity. The struggle against alcohol violations exists beyond the universitys Greek organizations, she said. The Student Events Advisory Board banned alcohol at most other campus events about half a year after the Greek Relationship Agreement. Almost 75 percent of our students on campus are not of age, Morgan said. So part of its culture, trying to change the idea of what do we do when we meet, have events.

At a meeting Wednesday with university administrators, members of the chapter decided not to contest the charges, said Sally Morgan, director of the Ofce of Student Conduct. The universitys Greek Relationship Agreement states that the only time chapters are allowed to have alcohol on their property is when the group holds an alumni event or when the people drinking are of age and are doing so in their own rooms, she said. The policy dates back to 2003, the year after an intoxicated Pi Kappa Alpha pledge drowned in Manzanita Lake. The new rules, which administrators were developing before that incident, have helped to decrease the number of serious, health-threatening situations related to alcohol among Greek

cases since school began. In the early morning hours on Sunday, responders transported four students from Nye Hall to Renown Regional Medical Center with BACs ranging from .199 to .3, according to Ofce of Student Conduct Director Sally Morgan. In the rst weekend after classes started at UNR, ofcers measured an average BAC of .123 for alcohol-related incidents on campus, she said. The rash of incidents related to extreme alcohol consumption is especially concerning for Morgan as the Nevada football teams home game against rival University of Nevada, Las Vegas approaches. Ofcers have cited numerous students for minor in possession and consumption as well as ghts during games against the Rebels in the past. The Ofce of Student Conduct was already planning on coordinating alcohol-free activities before and after the game prior to the events of the rst three weekends, Morgan said. As the date draws nearer, they will continue to develop ideas for decreasing the number of health-endangering incidents related to alcohol surrounding the game, she said. The fact that residence hall staff and the friends of the Manzanita Hall student called for help shows an increased awareness of the health risks alcohol can pose, Renwick said.

Reno because decisions about higher education budgets are made at the state level, according to Las Vegas Sun political columnist John Ralston. Marshall said she created scholarships and helped sustain the Millennium Scholarship during her time as state treasurer and would support federal education grants such as the Pell Grant if elected. When you talk to people at a college, theyre worried about paying for college, and theyre worried about getting a job, Marshall said. Amodei served for 12 years in the Nevada Senate, most recently serving as chair of the Nevada Republican Party. If elected, Amodei would focus on creating jobs and improving the economy, said Peter DeMarco, communications director for Amodeis campaign. You dont want to inherit a nation with higher unemploy-
ment, DeMarco said. Its not going to solve any of the issues from a domestic standpoint. Marshall said her opponent is too focused on national issues that may not affect the state, while her focus on helping Nevadans will appeal to voters. Once youre elected, you dont only represent your party, Marshall said. Before theyre Republicans and Democrats, theyre Nevadans. Neither candidate would have an immediate impact on the House because congressmen accumulate power as they serve at the federal level, political science department chair Eric Herzik said. As freshmen coming in the middle of a term, they will have absolutely no clout, he said. Theyll barely get moved into their ofce before theyre facing the next election. While Democrats both on a national and state level have historically supported education, Nevada Republicans such as long-time Sen. William Raggio and former Gov. Kenny Guinn have provided many benets to
the university, Herzik said. In state government, the moderate republicans have been the best friend of higher education, he said. Early voting results showed Amodei with about a 15,000vote lead over Marshall, including a 4,444-vote lead in Washoe County. Because there are about 30,000 more registered Republicans than Democrats in the district, it is unlikely that Marshall could overcome the decit, Herzik said. I cant imagine Republicans are going to be defecting (from) Mark Amodei to Kate Marshall, he said. Shes got a big hill to climb. The district has never elected a Democrat to the House since its formation in 1980, according to information from the House of Representatives Ofce of the Clerk. If elected, Amodei could potentially serve for a signicant time, Herzik said. Assuming the GOP doesnt get stupid and have a primary ght in 2012, Amodei would most likely win reelection and stay in the seat for as long as he
wanted, he said. The Associated Students of the University of Nevada recently hosted a town hall for candidates to speak about their stances on higher education, but Amodei did not attend. A representative from Amodeis campaign said the candidate had prior commitments, but Michael Stannard, ASUNs director of Legislative Affairs, said they presented many options to the campaign. It does prioritize where (Amodei) places the voice of students, he said. Stannard said members of the Amodei campaign have spoken about the possibility of the candidate visiting campus if elected. Amodei has participated in three additional debates during the campaign season, as well as a number of forums and town halls, DeMarco said. We want to be able to be there and have ongoing relationships with faculty and students, DeMarco said.

STAFF EDITORIAL I SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ELECTIONS
Marshall best candidate for Congress
n Aug. 31, Nevada Second Congressional District Democratic Party candidate Kate Marshall (alongside Independent Party candidates Tim Fasano and Helmuth Lehmann) attended an Associated Students of the University of Nevada-hosted town hall at the Joe Crowley Student Union. For about an hour, the trio spoke to a group of about 30 crowd members. Republican Mark Amodei, the other main candidate for CD2, was not there. Although Amodei said he
had prior commitments, ASUN Director of Legislative Affairs Michael Stannard said ASUN gave Amodei many options as to when to hold the town hall. Amodeis non-attendance further cemented his lack of care for education. On the other hand, Marshalls presence more fastened her devotion to education, earning her The Nevada Sagebrushs endorsement in the CD2 race. While the town hall was just one small instance in which both candidates showed their colors when it came to education, their campaigns have told
us more than enough already. Throughout her campaign, Marshall has remained steadfast in her Nevada rst message. And its not an act. Marshall admitted to The Nevada Sagebrush that if she were elected into the seat, she knows she wont be able to make a large impact in Washington, D.C. But shes OK with that, because her commitment lies in supporting Nevadans education, which directly affects us, college students and faculty, the most. Marshall, Nevadas former state treasurer, was
instrumental in keeping the Millennium Scholarship around after its future was undecided earlier this year. She helped nd funds to keep the vital scholarship alive for ve more years. Amodei on the other hand is more focused on making an impact in Washington, D.C., instead of right here in Nevada. Hes adamant about cutting federal funding to Nevada as much as possible in order to make the state more selfsufcient. While his goal is respectable, cutting federal funding will only further dig
our state into its educational hole. Amodeis main goal is not to serve Nevada, but to make his campaign national and we dont need that. By simply searching Marshalls website, youll nd a tab for her stance on education. As for Amodei? There is no such tab. Their commitment to education is evident. And Marshall is whos best for our states education right now.

Stop ruining our learning experiences

was initially appalled and disgusted when one of my summer school professors said the democratization of the university system allowed for too many undeserving people to attend college. By the time he came around to mentioning the lovely sentiment that more people should stick to making sausages and shining shoes instead of attending universities, I was mad as hell and about to go H.A.M. on him but I didnt. Im a classy broad, after all. I didnt take heed to his words until last week, when I started to intently people-watch in class to stave off boredom. Doing so reafrmed my dislike for humans and also made me realize that idiots ock to this school. Take a look around your next class and youll surely agree with my assessment. However, if you dont identify someone as the classroom imbecile, you are the classroom imbecile.

CLASS IS NOT A PERSONAL THERAPY SESSION

Im sorry that your teenage son has incurred mass charges on your credit card bill because hes purchased too much pornography. And Im sorry you feel like your relationship is failing, but for the love of all that is holy in the world, please stop announcing it to the entire class. Get a therapist if you feel the need to air out your dirty laundry to a stranger. Hit me up and Ill recommend a few to you.
RESPECT THE THREE-QUESTION CAP

Asking questions and making statements in class stimulates conversation and promotes a mini deliberative democracy-like environment. But abusing the right to raise your hand and constantly making points in class (which probably arent all that profound, just saying) is not only annoying, it is incredibly disruptive and distracts from the professors lesson. Give other people, like the professor, a chance to speak. If Im interested in learning your take on Ernest Hemingway or hearing how you think your writing style mirrors all the writers of The Lost Generation, I will personally consult with you. Take advantage of ofce hours and let your professor suffer, not us innocent bystanders.
DONT EAT MALODOROUS FOODS

Those nasty Fritos people eat in class give me Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-like episodes because they remind me of those aforementioned troll feet. Please keep consumption of them, as well as anything else with a scent easily mistaken for body odor, to a minimum.

have seen a fair share of catghts in my day, usually involving two women (but of course, not always) in a rage of hormonal emotion, duking it out via vitriolic slang, some nails, a few slaps and a whole lot of awkward wrestling/ bearhugging/ Joel grappling. Edwards All in all its a somewhat comical-touncomfortable event. Theres no threat of physical injury, just some minor damage to a few egos and a dose of mild shame and embarrassment. In politics, catghting takes on a much larger stage with a national audience. I have stayed up with politics as of late, especially since the GOP presidential contenders began stumping around New Hampshire, South Carolina and my home residence of Iowa. The dialogue between all parties, including between GOP contenders, seems to be ripe with bickering. It doesnt seem as though anything ever resolves itself or that any progress is ever made, as we are still at 9.1 percent national
unemployment with a host of other problems. And as the blame for this gets passed around, who is winning this catght? The truth is, victory is impossible as no parties are in an honest state-of-mind. It is not like nding truth is top priority, but rather a release of reason and exploit of ghting for political gains sake. Does it not seem like theyre really missing the point of being a politician, which is to represent a constituency in national regards? So often their focus is on the degradation of political opponents and not on honest solutions, which probably involves amicable dialogue and compromise. On The Colbert Report last week, Tim Pawlenty was reminiscing about his recent failed presidential bid, saying, This is taking on more and more of a reality TV show component, youve got to have an entertainment component to it Sorry, Tim, but Im guessing that since you couldnt put together a better presidential bid, you probably wouldnt be the most popular or gain much celebrity if you were on the reality shows The Real World or Jersey Shore. Think about it, who are the few that come out of reality gigs with stardom? Theyre certainly not the individuals with reason, character or
insight. And who are our most heard from U.S. politicians? Sen. Joe Wilson, who yelled You lie! during a presidential speech, Cong. Nancy Pelosi, who blames all wrong on the GOP , or GOP presidential hopefuls, who denounced President Barack Obamas recent jobs speech before hed even delivered it. Does it not seem like we vote in those names who protrude most within our memories? As a nation, we have been rewarding those politicians who engage in non-productive catghts just as we rewarded the most eccentric celebrities, with more of our time and attention. Congressional approval ratings currently are laughable, near 14 percent, and President Obamas arent great either at 42 percent. Obviously, Americans are sick of the catghting and performance of our elected ofcials. Even though these politicians were probably elected or re-elected for their eccentricity, or ability to debate and argue, they should change the tide, turn over a new leaf, and begin engaging in honest, bickeringfree meaningful discussions for Americas sake. Please.

I dont like when people ask too many questions. Some students leave class early and its very distracting. Talking during lectures and texting on their phones. If Im trying to listen to the professor its distracting. The biggest thing is when theyre rude to the teacher and talk over them and other students.

DATING AND RELATIONSHIPS
Go home with your dignity, not random creepers

oing out to bars with your friends should be a fun experience and,usually, it is for me. However, while trying to unwind with a few drinks last week, I realized going out for most girls is not about relishing in the experience its about seeking out negative male attention and using it to validate their self-worth. My epiphany came at The Jade Brew Brothers. Sheldon Apparently, guys dont just go there for their large selection of beers;
they go there to select girls they can buy drinks for and in turn think these women are now their property. This whole transaction reads like an auction because, where theres one guy, there are two more behind him making a bid on the same girl. My knee-jerk reaction was to blurt out, I have a boyfriend when the rst suitor of the night approached me. However, I soon learned that when a guy is recruiting a girl at a bar, its irrelevant whether she has a boyfriend. I ran like Forrest Gump. Little did I know, I was running to my next suitor, who was not part of the secret casting call The Brew Brothers must have been having for Jersey Shore that night he was a Steve Urkel lookalike. Men can be so arrogant that they will believe their degrading comments
are actually attering. Urkel came up to me bursting with liquid courage and asked me to turn around so he could see my backside. I should have quoted my idol Britney Spears and said, You can see it when I leave, but by that point I was so repulsed that I found a table of guys to sit with to avoid more future run-ins with creepers. You know things are bad when you have to march up to a table of 10 guys and beg to sit with them to avoid further sexual harassment. However, it wasnt long before one of my rescuers tried to get my number. While I was feeling vulnerable and violated, I looked around the room and realized my friends were having a great time kissing random Jersey Shore stereotypes and being
dance-raped by them. Then I realized something even more profound this is how people think its supposed to be. Im sure many women have had to deal with such an unpleasant experience seeing as most get hit on at some point in their lives. Some women encourage such bad behavior because they rely on men to validate their self-worth. Men should never affect how you see yourself. Some seedy guys come to bars to meet women, and, after a series of interviews, they select the one who gets to go home with them. Men think approaching women and hurling compliments about their sexy bodies at them will make their night. Newsash it doesnt. Well, I have a scale and a mirror, so
Im pretty sure I know how I look. As for free drinks, I would like to think Im worth more than a few dollars. I would like to think that, in the end, it pays off to be the classy girl who pays for her drinks and takes home her dignity rather than some random man. I refuse to lose my dignity for any drink, even if it is an incredibly wellblended margarita. Ladies, next time a creepy guy approaches you with a cheesy line, remember you are worth more than a $5 drink and walk away with your integrity instead of him. Youll thank me later.

FASHION DOS AND DONTS
SELF-ESTEEM
Dont let insecurities get in the way of being true to yourself

ntering my teenage years, I often masked my insecurities behind dark clothing and an insincere scowl. I took on a tough-cookie attitude, while many of my peers opted for less intimidating counter-solutions to hide their own uncertainties. When that failed, I became a female Chandler Bing of sorts socially awkward and uncomfortable in almost any situation. I searched for the humor in my own sense of discomfort, and though I wasnt all that convincing, I managed to laugh my way through most of my teenage years, ultimately unscathed. At 16, its rare to look around and recognize that everyone else is in on the faade as well. There is an innate desire in every human to be accepted. Decades of studies have proven that. We all are driven by the same desire to be understood and approved of by society. That common denominator alone is responsible for the innumerable tactics people employ to be welcomed. People Tara lie about their interests and people insult Verderosa others interests. People pretend to t in and others ip the world the bird. When I rst entered college, I believed many of the insecurities and uncertainties about ourselves had been left behind in the piles of Abercrombie & Fitch or Hot Topic clothing. But meeting new people often brings us to new realizations in the world. While my three unchanging girlfriends have supported my life in Las Vegas for the past decade, coming to Reno often allows me the chance to branch out and go through the process of getting to know people again. And its scary. While I originally thought people would have rid many of their childish insecurities by now, Ive come to realize that people do not outgrow insecurity in college they simply change it into new modes of coping. The two ways of dealing, both conforming and rebelling, are still at work in everyday life, though in a much more subtle way. Instead of being angsty, those individuals criticize and demean other people. Ive met few people who verbally attack others simply because they disagree. More often, its a defense mechanism a way to shield his or her own imperfections by directing attention to someone elses. And while people may not notice their imperfections, everyone can taste a sour attitude and an aptitude for demeaning others. Instead of sporting expensive designer wear, others plaster on a phony smile and pretend they agree with everyone else. Though less harmful, this seems to be a sad means of self-martyrdom. In both scenarios, individuality is a lost cause. Though I would never lump everyone into one of these two categories, recognizing these people on campus is not difcult. In a time when we are all striving to gure out who we are, I wonder why anyone would waste time confusing themselves further. I encourage every individual to take a look at his or her life. Think about the person you want to be, and then consider the way people perceive you. Are they one and the same? If not, you may be part of the insecurity game. Be yourself. Be the awkward dancer, the unapologetic bookworm, or the Chandler Bing. Dont waste your time trying to imitate someone elses image. Theyre probably playing the game, too.

Columnist Steph Smith recommends ditching letterman-style jackets for their leather counterparts to glam up your fall wardrobe. Smith also recommends colored denim to brighten up any outt this season.
Spice up wardrobe with colored denim, abandon heeled loafers
W
Steph Smith
ith fall just around the corner, this is a great time to update your wardrobe with some of the best trends inspired by collections just shown at New York Fashion Week. However, there are a few trends just off the runway that should be avoided at all costs. Use this guide to avoid becoming a fashion failure this season.
FASHION DOS
Colored denim is one of my favorite trends that is huge this fall. Its nice to have the favorite pair of blue jeans, but why not have a favorite pair of red and yellow jeans, too? If you want to ease into it, try a grey or brown pair at rst. When youre comfortable, jump right into fuschia, teal or forest green. Turn it up a notch by buying printed pants, also super popular for the fall. My advice: stick to skinny-colored denim. Colored are or bootcuts are a little over the top. While are skirts are always in style, one
of the biggest new styles for fall is tiered skirts, or skirts with multiple layers. While adding more dimension to your look, they are more owy than pencil skirts and give you more shape than are skirts. My advice: pair a printed tiered skirt with a plain white T-shirt and a thick belt for a simple yet sweet look. Metallic black, studs, chain, leather the glam rock look is everywhere this fall. The staple pieces of this style are leather jackets and studs. Throw on a pair of dark denim jeans with a white tank top, leather jacket, and some gold or silver stud earrings and you will look edgy and stylish. My advice: Try some black skinny jeans tucked into combat boots. They will make you look like a total badass.
WHAT TO LOSE
Last years letterman jacket was a trend I was totally into, but the new varsity or baseball jacket is one I cant get into. Retailers like Aeropostale and Adidas are trying to make them stick, but I just cant hop on board. My advice: Go for the bomber jacket instead. You can nd them in denim, leather, khaki and some even have eece on the inside to keep you super warm when the cold front rolls in. Wear them with a
dress or a shorts and tights combo with boots to look extra cool. Im not a fan of heeled loafers. I understand the mens wear look is in, but putting a heel on a mens shoe isnt the best way to go about it. If youre going for the geek-chic look, try normal loafers. Instead of adding heeled loafers to your boy t jeans and blazer, try a pair of cute oxford shoes. They will give your look the menswear inspired feel without making it too dressy and without the heel. Trench coats are a big trend for fall that I am not a fan of at all. Plain trench coats are too boring and printed ones are too wild. There is just no in between. Plus, you might look cute walking around in it, but what exactly do you do with it when you get to class? That is a lot of coat to deal with. Instead of a trench coat, try an oversized sweater or a military jacket. They are more comfortable and not as overwhelming.Try an off-the-shoulder sweater in a striped pattern. They look great with relaxed t jeans or a pair of shorts when the October temperate weather sets in.

LIBERAL PERSPECTIVE
Republican candidates dont stand a chance at presidential election
fter viewing the Republican Debate on Wednesday, I found myself wondering, Why does the eld of Republican candidates look weak this year? Several candidates have run before and lost. Many have interesting ideas but seem too extreme to be elected and the three front-runners in most polls are Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Thomas undecided. Levine Perry and Romney traded jabs at the debate, and Perry not only seemed to come off worse, but also prove an interesting thing about primaries: those who are the most radical win primaries
because they energize the base. All GOP candidates have weaknesses, but so does President Barack Obama. Polls show slight advantages for Perry and Romney, but Obama would beat every other candidate. Perry is a conservative who claims to have created jobs in Texas, but the claims dont add up. Yes, job creation has grown, but according to Politifact.com, the population has grown just as fast as job growth. Romney was also caught lying about how his proposed RomneyCare would apply to 8 percent of the population, a claim deemed false by Politifact.com. Both Perry and Romney also said other things that might hurt their chances in the general election, such as Perrys referring to Social Security as a ponzi scheme, while Romney talked about not being a career politician a strange statement to make seeing as he ran for U.S. Senate in 1994 and won governor-
ship in 2002. Then there was that whole running for presidency in 2008. Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain represent a more radical group. Bachmann is famous for not having a single bill brought to a vote by the House of Representatives. Instead, she focuses on things such as attempting to limit ObamaCare funding or trying to eliminate the new law that requires light bulbs to be more efcient. Cain has never held a political position and has made statements about how he would not support abortion rights even in cases of rape and incest when he ran for Senate in 2004. He also made several comments about how he feels uncomfortable around Muslims. Bachmann and Cain are conservative enough to do well in the primary elections but dont have half the staying power, nances or electability as Romney or Perry. Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul have a
bit of a different problem. Having run numerous times, they do have experience, but Gingrich almost had his entire staff leave him this campaign, and Paul has controversial ideas such as legalizing all drugs and reducing defense spending, which may not play well with the voters either during the primary or during the greater election. This and past election defeats mean they both would most likely lose to Obama, and their chances in such a charged primary are slim. Rick Santorum stated he would cut the corporate tax rate to zero even though the United States has the second lowest corporate tax rate in the world already. He also has a harsh stance on homosexuality, saying he didnt have a problem with homosexuals, he had a problem with homosexual acts, in a 2003 Associated Press interview. He is very conservative, which will work to his advantage in the primary, but he doesnt
have the record with a 59-41 loss while he held a Senate seat for Pennsylvania. Jon Huntsman is a weak candidate in that he has several of the problems Romney faces, such as being Mormon, having fairly moderate on views such as climate change and not having much name recognition compared to the other candidates. He does, however, have a strength in that he is moderate when compared with others and has experience dealing with foreign relations as he served as ambassador to China. He is overshadowed by almost every other candidate and isnt showing very well in most polls. To sum it up, these candidates better buck up if they are serious about running in the primary elections.

In a photography exhibit called India at 720 Tahoe Street, a local art gallery and collective, Ashley Robison proudly displays photos of smiling children who have rarely seen a camera before. Robison, a 23-year-old alumna of the University of Nevada, Reno art program, said she explored a world of contrasts during her study abroad trip to Bangalore, India in the 2011 spring semester. During her travels, she took many photos while on volunteer eld trips with the Center for Social Action, an organization that connects students with community outreach organizations around India. Some photos focus on children playing together in the streets, while others show the more serious faces of older residents. When she returned to Reno, she felt inspired to hold an art show and fundraiser to exhibit her photos and give back to the organizations that strongly impacted her experience abroad. A percentage of the proceeds the exhibit generates will be donated to the CSA.
Ashley Robisons collection of photographs from a recent trip to Bangalore, India will be on display at the local art gallery 720 Tahoe Street. Robison traveled abroad to India with the University of Nevada, Renos University Studies Abroad Consortium.
With the CSA, Robison traveled to a community outreach center that helps medicate and treat people with AIDS or HIV. They also went to a womens education organization located in one of the largest slums in Bangalore. This organization focuses on educating women about nance to help them better support their families. Studying in Bangalore, the fth-largest city in India with six million inhabitants, was an eyeopening experience for Robison, she said. She is a native Nevadan who has never lived in a city larger than Reno. I learned a lesson when I was traveling abroad in Italy, she said. I never took enough photos then, so in India I made sure to keep my camera with me at all times. These photos are of the people and places that made a huge impact on me while I was there. In India, she spent three months studying with the University Studies Abroad Consortium program and two months traveling around the country. I loved India because it really is a world of contrasts, she said. It can be so intense and overwhelming, but it can be humbling, sacred and beautiful, too. While volunteering and traveling around India, Robison noticed that Indian people have a different perception of cameras than Americans, who are so used to cameras and photos in their everyday lives, she said. The people I photographed wanted nothing more than to see their photo, she said. Their awareness of the camera is so different. They dont jump up to
smile automatically like Americans. Theyre more serious and stark, more real. In her photography, Robison tried to capture this contrast and expose the abrupt, unforgiving attitude of her subjects in their intense environment, she said.

n Saturday, Pipers Opera House in Virginia City will be lled to the brim with historical fashion and costume aficionados
for the Victorian Steampunk Ball. Men will wear coats with long tails and brass buttons. Women will wear tight corsets over dresses with bustles and rufes. The outts will be nished with intricate touches such as oldfashioned gold goggles, pocket watches and leather boots with spats. Each look will be different and largely handmade. Each guest will represent his or her own interpretation of the steampunk subculture, which is inuenced by everything from the Victorian era to science ction technology.
STEAMPUNK STARS
Steampunk is a style reminiscent of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells novels with an emphasis on do-it-yourself and uniqueness in costumes.
Mary Crawley is president of High Desert Steam, one of the four organizations that will host the ball. The steampunk group has been in existence for a only few months as a way to assemble local costumemakers and steampunk fans in preparation for the ball. Renos not so small anymore, she said. The people who know about it have known about it for a while. Now that its getting more mainstream, the people that didnt know this kind of thing existed are going, Wow, this is what I really want to do. Theyre nally discovering their niche, I think. Crawley became interested in steampunk a fairly new subculture in 2007. I started looking it up on the Internet and saw all these amazing pictures, she said. They were things Id always been interested in, but, suddenly, there was a name for it. Lauren Reeser, president of the Great Basin Costume Society, said steampunk is a particularly fun costume-centric subculture because of the freedom it allows. There are guidelines, but there are no rules, she said. With 150-yearold fashion, you should stick to the material that was used at the time: leather, brass,
tin, no denim. You can reimagine this fantasy world of the industrial revolution using anything you want. And when you see us all together, it works... Some of the civil war groups or other historical groups use really regimented rules. I think it could lose the fun. This brings the fun back to costuming.

contact him for custom orders through the shop or online via his Etsy store (Etsy.com/shop/ killbuck). Many steampunk fans agree that the assembling of costumes from different pieces they have found in order to create the ideal look is one of the most fun aspects of being apart of the subculture and attending related events. Crawley created her rst costume a steampunk Santa Claus for the Santa Pub Crawl downtown in 2007. Although few registered her costume as steampunk the rst year, as the years progressed, more pub crawl patrons began to take notice of the costume and the subculture it came from, she said. Reeser said that she created her rst costume for a dance using pieces from her existing wardrobe and gradually spent more time making intricate steampunk costumes as her interest in the culture grew. I went into my closet and pulled out anything khaki or brown, she said. I made a belt. It was pathetic. But the feeling you get when you wear something you made is amazing.

ALL D DRESSED UP
The DIY- and costumeoriente Burning Man culture oriented that ex exists in Reno helps attract people to the steampunk scene, Crawley said. One critical Crawle moment in her movement mome toward steampunk was seeing a Victorian mobile home art car Victor called the Neverwas Haul at the fes festival and appreciating the aesthetics and craftsmanship of aesthe the sub subculture. Its having to learn about history, history Crawley said. Its having to learn about the Victorian era and an then integrating that into a costume. Beyond that, one of the things that really got me into int it is that theres a really huge D DIY component to it. The community is very much into comm making makin their own objects and nding and creating differentlooking lookin weaponry and accessories and tools. Those are my two favorite things. I love to fa research researc the history of whatever Im interested in, and then I love int to make things myself. This ma absolutely combines the two absolu brilliantly. brillian Rex Killbuck Norman is a local cos costume-maker who creates many steampunk looks from scratch and by altering existing clothes for customers. Ive always been fascinated with c costuming, he said. It depends on what a particular depen customer wants. For example, custom Im ju just now starting on a costume, costum which is going to be a steampunk variation on the Tin steamp Man from The Wizard of Oz. f Other than that, I enjoy things that have an antique military h air to them. Norman sells his costumes at Norm local shops such as Prism Magic. sh Customers are welcome to Custom
VIRGINIA CITY BALL

Reeser founded the Great Basin Costume Society in 2008 after moving to Reno from the Bay Area, where there were ample opportunities to dress up in costume and explore various subcultures. The upcoming ball is the first large event the group has planned since its inception. We sort of ran before we walked, Reeser said. You know when you put on a party and youre afraid no ones going to come? However, Reeser said the ball has already sold more than 50 presale tickets to customers in the Great Basin area, and she expects the event might reach the venue capacity. The Sacramento Steampunk Society hosted an event last year in which members rode the Virginia and Truckee Railroad from Carson City to Virginia City, where they spent the day. The train ride will also be on the agenda for this years event, but it will also come with some additional perks this time around. Virginia City is not like Disneyland, Reeser said. Its a little more cryptic. The Sacramento people were just walking around looking bored. In addition to hosting the ball, Reeser helped create a guide-

Team, fans get reality check
Ducks post 10 TDs on Pack

By Lukas Eggen
The 13th-ranked Oregon Ducks are back, thanks in part to ve touchdown passes in the rst half of its home game against Nevada. Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas was instrumental in the Ducks 69-20 win in Nevadas season-opener. Oregon took the opening drive of the game for a touchdown and, although it missed a two-point conversion, never looked back. The Wolf Pack defense stopped Oregon just once in the rst half as the team quickly built up its lead, thanks to several quick scoring drives, including at the end of the half when Thomas hit freshman running back DeAnthony Thomas on the teams nal touchdown of the half to put the Ducks up 41-7. Im disappointed, head coach Chris Ault said. And to come play that way on a big stage, clearly you have to look at what youre doing. Quarterback Tyler Lantrip struggled early in his rst game starting, throwing an interception at Oregons 11-yard line that the Ducks converted into a touchdown on the next play. Lantrip also threw an interception in the fourth quarter when he tried to throw the ball away only to it short. Still, Nevada gained 516 yards of total offense, but had just 20 points to show for it, as the Wolf Pack failed to nish drives. I had my chances, but I didnt capitalize, Lantrip said. I made some dumb mistakes. Not much went right for Nevada as Anthony Martinez eld goal was blocked in the rst half, the Wolf Pack missed an extra point in the second and the team never found a rhythm offensively. Though many Wolf Pack fans may remember Martinez for kicking the game-winning eld goal

The Wolf Pack made the 1000mile round trip from Reno to Eugene, Ore. only to lose 69-20 against the Ducks. The mood was drab as players exited the eld with heads down, tails between their legs and sweat dripping down onto the turf. Were embarrassed Im embarrassed, Nevada football head coach Chris Ault said. Defensively speaking, to give up play after play without much challenge, its going to be tough to win football games if we continue that. As leader of the defense James-Michael Johnson entered the press conference room after the game, he carried his mood on his sleeve. The 6-foot-2, 240-pound linebacker looked like the smallest person in the room as he stumbled over his words. His answers were short. When asked what happened to the defense, his answer was simple I dont know, he said repeatedly. With the emotion apparent in his tone, he didnt have an answer for the media, or for Oregons potent offensive attack on the eld. This sentiment was infectious for Nevada fans. Im still happy I came since its my rst game as a Nevada student, but I think its also a waste to drive 11 hours and spend a bunch of money only to get spanked, freshman Stephanie Wolf said. The game, which was never in question past midway through the second quarter, had Ducks fans leaving the game as early as the beginning of the second half. The blowout also had some Wolf Pack fans rethinking their decision to make the trip. Im actually kind of disappointed, Nevada freshman Hayley Coley said at the game, her face decorated with blue and silver paint. Im still a fan of my school, but I actually feel like this was kind of a waste of time. Although some fans were disappointed, others kept their hopes alive to the very end. Even with the Wolf Pack down by 27 points at halftime, some fans still believed Nevada could pull off a come-from-behind victory that would rival the Boise State

QUARTERBACK CAROUSEL
am a rm believer in giving chances to those who have put in their time and hard work. If theres anything I learned from my immigrant father, its that busting your ass for an extended period of time will only get you to the top. In laymans terms, Hard work beats talent. Unfortunately, that maxim doesnt apply to all areas of life especially sports. There are always situations when you have a veteran whos put in a lot of time with a team and is battling for a position with a young buck, fresh Juan to the scene. Lpez Case in point: The Nevada quarterback position. During Saturdays game at Oregon, fth-year senior Tyler Lantrip made his rst career start at quarterback. His nal stat line was respectable considering he was playing in front of about 60,000 pairs of eyes at a premier Pac-12 school. He went 21-for-35 for 219 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Lantrips backup, freshman Cody Fajardo, came on in the fourth quarter and played well, too. Although he went just 2-of-4 passing and threw a pick, he carried the ball six times for 58 yards and one touchdown. Heres where my dilemma starts. Lantrip has waited patiently behind Nevada legend Colin Kaepernick for three years. He has already earned his bachelors degree from the University of Nevada, Reno in nance and economics and is currently working on a masters degree. Simply put, the man has worked hard for everything thats come to him. And I have no problem rewarding hard
work and dedication, so for Wolf Pack football coach Chris Ault to start him against the Ducks was admirable. But when it comes to on-the-eld play, Lantrip is not the best quarterback for Nevadas system. Aults highly decorated Pistol Offense is geared around having a quarterback who is as much a threat on the ground as he is through the air. With Lantrip, the Wolf Pack does not have that. He may be a better pure passer and have better mechanics than Fajardo, but Lantrips playing style simply does not t into the Pistol. Countless times in the teams game vs. Oregon, I saw Lantrip run a read-option play out of the Pistol, but the TONY CONTINI /NEVADA SAGEBRUSH Nevada quarterback Tyler Lantrip rushed for 51 yards on 10 carries player responsible vs. Oregon, but was largely ineffective in Pistol Offense rushing for him if Lantrip plays because of his immobility. were to take the ball himself and run completely disregarded him. The key to But Lantrip did not provide this threat the read-option play is forcing the defense whatsoever out of the quarterback position. into making a tough decision to either go In return, the Ducks crowded the middle of after the running back up the middle, or the quarterback around the outside.

By Eric Lee Castillo

Wolf Pack offensive lineman Chris Barker was voted as a captain by his teammates in what was a rare occurrence for a junior, head coach Chris Ault said. He was the only underclassman to receive the honor this year among the seniors elected (linebacker James-Michael Johnson, deChris fensive lineman Barker Brett Roy, and wide receiver Rishard Matthews).
The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Barker said he wasnt surprised that he was the only junior elected as a captain. And although this will mark his third year as a starter on the line and one of the most reliable starters at that he wasnt always so aware of his athletic ability, according to his family. Sometimes hed play and touch me a little too rough, and Id be like, Ow, Chris, that hurt, his mother Shatana Barker said. Hell just say, Oh mom, I barely even touched you. Its different now, but he didnt know how to control his strength and temper as a kid.

evada gets blown out in its season-opener on the road against a nationally ranked opponent. The offense was able to move the ball, but a missed eld goal and costly turnovers quickly let the game get out of hand. The secondary was atrocious. For old-time Wolf Pack fans (or at least those who have been here more than a year or two), a dreadful sense of dj vu may have just occurred as Nevadas loss seemed eerily similar to Lukas its blowout loss Eggen to Notre Dame in 2009. It was like watching a bad horror lm. You know whats coming. You want to scream at them. Anyone with any sort of common sense could see it coming from a mile away. And yet, they always nd a way to wind up dead. That is exactly what happened to the Wolf Packs secondary. Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas completed 13 passes during the game. Six were for touchdowns. The Wolf Packs secondary didnt
look like the experienced, cohesive unit it was supposed to be. It looked like a unit that was worse than in 08 and 09. By the way, during that stretch Nevada had one of the worst pass defenses in the nation. Not to worry, though. Cornerback Isaiah Frey said the team had similar experiences in games like this. He referred to Notre Dame, when the team gave up 315 passing yards and four touchdowns. He said the team would improve. I dont want to burst his bubble, but Nevada gave up 297 passing yards per game and 33 touchdowns that season. Not exactly the type of evidence I was hoping to hear that the secondary just had a bad game. Contrary to what Frey will have you believe, Nevada fans ... beware. Look, for all I know, the Wolf Packs secondary will look better against San Jose State. That will, however, be a Spartans team that hasnt thrown a passing touchdown yet this season. But, once it starts facing teams with legitimate passing threats (such as Boise State), expect the wheels to come off again. Nevadas defense wasnt just bad. It was awful. I could have scored against that defense. Receivers were wide open. I mean, wide open. Nevadas secondary was yards
behind the receivers. Players missed assignments, there was confusion, and just plain bad coverage. Players stood, hands on their hips. Meanwhile, Oregon receivers could practically skip into the end zone. I, like Frey, expect Nevadas secondary to improve . Itd be hard not to. Not many teams can give up ve passing touchdowns in the rst half. However, it looks as though 2010 may have been the exception in what could go down as one of the nations worst pass defenses ... again. Oregon wide receivers dropped several passes, but got away with it. Every time Oregon threw a pass, it didnt matter if it was a screen pass, a ve-yard out or a bomb, I cringed. I had that terrible feeling of 09 when I expected Nevadas secondary to allow a big play. An incomplete pass was like a pleasant surprise rather than the expectation. Nevada fans, prepare yourselves. In every bad horror lm, there are seeds planted for a sequel that no one wants to see. Looks like the Wolf Pack may have found its unwanted return.

Early goals doom Nevada

By Michael Lingberg
Mental errors came early for the Wolf Pack soccer team as the University of San Francisco scored two goals within the rst 15 minutes of Sundays match at Mackay Stadium. Nevada was unable to make up the difference throughout the nal 75 minutes and lost 2-0. The way we started the game in the rst half was unacceptable, head coach Melissa Price said. It doesnt compare to our standards and it didnt come close to an expectation. Junior goalkeeper Dana Moreno started but was pulled after just 15 minutes in the goal. On the rst goal the Dons scored, Moreno came out of the box to challenge USFs Mackenzie Krieser. She evaded Moreno and netted the open goal. The second goal Moreno couldnt block came after she was called for holding the ball too long inside the box. Sophomore Tyler Campagna was awarded the free kick and placed the ball into the upper left-hand corner of the net. Her kick put the Dons up 2-0. After the second goal, Price decided to replace Moreno with junior goalkeeper Jenna Riddle. There were two costly goalkeeping errors, Price said. Sometimes, a change is warranted. After a sluggish start, the Wolf Pack played better in the second half. USF shot the ball eight times compared to Nevadas three times in the rst half, but the Wolf Pack responded by outshooting the Dons 7-2 in the nal half. Price attributed some of the success the Pack had to an improved mindset more than a change in strategy or formation. Price also said the use of freshman midelder Bobby Reilly had notable impact on the game. Reilly made her rst appearance of the season for the Wolf Pack and showed good ball control. She missed the previous six games because of a medical issue. I think Bobby played well, Price said. Shes got ambition to be a great player and she showed a little bit of what will come from her. Nevada will visit Cal Poly and the University of California, Santa Barbara next weekend before returning to Reno to play Sacramento State on Sept. 23. In the meantime, Price wants her team to focus on the process of getting better. We talk about our ability to improve, to execute and to control, Price said. If we can improve on nishing, thatll be the nal piece to the puzzle.

Pack back on track with second-place nish

By Kyle Wise
The Nevada cross country team nished second Saturday at the Jim Vanden Heuvel Twilight Classic as it welcomed back three of its four injured athletes who sat out during last weeks race. With Johanna Olsson, Demerey Kirsch and Jennifer McEntire back in the lineup, the Wolf Pack nished second out of three teams with 41 points at Shadow Mountain Park in Sparks. Olsson was Nevadas top nisher, recording a time of 15 minutes and 15 seconds. She was fth overall. Olsson, a sophomore who transferred to Nevada from a college in her hometown of Abby, Sweden, came close to missing out on her second straight meet. Olssons ankle sprain was minor, and after going to the teams trainer, she was ready to run. Despite the scare, Olsson still managed to be the teams top runner, and her fth-place overall nish was key to Nevadas success. She sprained her ankle 30 minutes before this race began, head coach Kirk Elias said. I didnt even know if she was going to run a lot. Shes a talented young lady. Junior Christy Works, another one of Nevadas top runners, was still sitting out Saturday from a hip injury. Elias described her recovery process as being day-to-day. However, he was pleased at how well the team performed without her. We did a lot better this week, Elias said. This is a meet all of our kids look forward to. Its a real positive experience. Nevada had a young starting lineup with seven underclassmen running in the group of ten. This is just a stepping stone; we are a very young team, Elias said. We ran a very conservative race. Kirsch, a freshman, who was the Wolf Packs second-best nisher (seventh overall) at 15 minutes and 20 seconds, explained the conservative race. We ran as a team at the beginning, and then we went from slow to fast, as opposed to sprinting hard right out the gate like the other teams did, Kirsch said. Kirsch was pleased to be running again after missing the Nevada Chase Race last week at Rancho San Rafael Park. It felt good, Kirsch said, I forgot how much it hurts to race, but its a good hurt. Running through the pain, Kirschs debut made a large difference in the race, according to Elias. Though the team felt it performed better than it did in its last meet, Kirsch sees a lot of room for improvement. We denitely have a nice young core, Kirsch said. But Im excited to see how good we can be. University of Utah (Pac-12 conference) nished in rst place with 20 points (low scores are ranked higher). The top four overall nishers of the race were Utes, including Alyssa Abbott Rebekah, who nished rst with a time of 14 minutes and 41 seconds. In-state rivals, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, came in last with 65 points. The Rebels top runner, Lauren Peterson, nished sixth overall with a time of 15 minutes and 20 seconds. The Nevada cross country team will now take a 17-day break before its next race Oct. 1 at the Desert Invitational in Las Vegas.

Wolf Pack still struggling

By Michael Lingberg
For Nevadas volleyball team, things can only get better from here as its lost eight of ten games this season. The Wolf Pack struggled to nd a win at the Hilton Garden Inn Classic but nally came out on top against the University of Texas at Arlington 22-25, 25-17, 25-16 and 25-16. The team dropped its two matches earlier in the weekend against Sacramento State and California. In its rst match of the tournament, Nevada fell to Sacramento State 25-19, 23-25, 27-25 and 26-24. The rst set saw both teams tied at 15 apiece before the Hornets used a 10-4 run to capture the opening series. We had our opportunities to beat them, Nevada volleyball head coach Ruth Lawanson said. But we just didnt take advantage of them. Junior Elissa Ji led Nevada with 13 kills. Junior Janelle Batista, freshman Tessa Leaea and senior Erin Garvey followed with 12 and 11, respectively. California, the top-ranked team in the nation, swept the Wolf Pack later on Saturday. Nevada competed for the rst set but nally lost 26-24. The other two sets were more lopsided with the Golden Bears winning 25-18 and 25-12. Despite the loss, Lawanson doesnt think her team was intimidated playing such a strong opponent. We werent intimidated at all, she said. We almost won the rst set. I told them that if they bring that kind of intensity to every other match, well be the team to beat. Sophomore Grace Anxo led Nevada with nine kills while senior Tatiana Santiago handed out 21 assists. The Wolf Pack nally ended up on the winning side of the score against UT Arlington. The Patriots never trailed in the rst set on the way to a 25-22 win, but the Wolf Pack took the nal three sets to capture the match win. Santiago recorded 45 assists, a match high. Lawanson thought she could have used more help from her teammates throughout the weekend tournament. Tatiana played well this weekend, she said. We didnt always help her out when she put the ball where it needed to be, though. If I wanted to adjust something during the game, she did it. Leaea was another standout, as she was named to the all-tournament team. Leaea earned the spot blocking four shots against the Patriots. Nevada (2-8) takes an 11-day break before playing again Sept. 21 when in-state rival University of Nevada, Las Vegas come to visit for the rst home game of the season.

Barker
CONTINUED FROM PAGE B1
At the ripe age of 9 months old, Barker could barely walk, but he was already displaying his superhuman strength. At nine months old he broke our coffee table, Shatana said. He picked up his toy truck, threw it up and busted the top of our coffee table. The 2010 second-team AllWestern Athletic Conference lineman busted his way through opponents defensive lines last year, leading Nevada to almost 300 rushing yards per game. And whether he was shattering glass tabletops or tearing down the shingles that blocked the sun in his bedroom as a child, Barker didnt realize his own strength for some time, his mother said. He was like a superhuman baby, she said. Barker took breaking things by accident to a whole new level when he rst started playing competitive basketball. He was much bigger than anyone else on the court so setting screens
was his main focus, his sister Diamond Barker said. This was a moment of realization for her younger brother. Hes always been unaware of his own strength, Diamond said. When he rst started doing basketball, he was so big I remember a boy ran into him and broke his arm. The event spooked Barker into not wanting to play sports, Diamond said. But that only lasted until he realized he could be rewarded for performing such actions on a football eld. He realized how big and strong he was and started to play football, Shatana said. He said, Wow, I can knock somebody down or tackle them and not get in trouble for it. Even in football, Barker continued to shock himself and others with his strength. His high school football coach, Stephen Bryce, recalled how Barkers ability surmounted expectations. He turned into the most aggressive o-lineman weve ever had at Claremont High, Bryce said.
Barker blossomed under Bryce. He was an offensive line coach for seven years before taking the helm of Claremont football. Barker became the all-time leader for pancake blocks in his high schools history with 29 during his senior season. He was unanimously voted a captain for his junior and senior year, Bryce said. So Im not surprised at all hes getting that kind of respect at Nevada. It was no easy task for Barker to become the leader of the Wolf Pack Union, either, as Ault holds the offensive line to a high standard. The Union is what makes this team tick, Ault said. Barker led the offensive line to help Wolf Pack running backs earn 283 yards against Oregon on Saturday. Everything you would expect from a captain, thats Chris, Run-game Coach Cameron Norcross said. Hes a kid youd like your daughter to bring home.

Ducks romp
against Boise State last season, his performance against the Ducks was anything but inspiring. (Martinezs kick) affected me because I could have blocked that kick, Ault said. There was no penetration at all, that ball was kicked low.
The defense didnt help matters either. The secondary left receivers wide open on several occasions, resulting in multiple touchdowns where receivers went untouched on long catchand-runs. The defense gave up 603 yards of total offense and six passing touchdowns to Thomas. What was demoralizing was the fact that we werent close to
receivers, Ault said. We werent near them. When youre near them and a kid makes a great play, thats going to happen. The Wolf Pack will look to get its rst win of the season at San Jose State Saturday in both teams rst Western Athletic Conference game of the year.

TONY CONTINI /NEVADA SAGEBRUSH
New starter
the eld and keyed in on the Wolf Pack running backs. And even though Nevada rushed for 283 yards, a bulk of that total came when Fajardo walked on the eld. Although he saw his rst action with just 9:52 left in the fourth quarter, the Wolf Pack rushed for 107 yards on 13 carries with Fajardo in the game. Obviously, the nature of the game was completely different at the time when Fajardo came
in, but the teams production with him under center cannot be questioned. He looked much better playing in the Pistol than Lantrip. And since Aults Pistol Offense isnt going anywhere, the personnel running it might be what needs to change. I hate jumping to conclusions after one game, but the Pistol ts better in Fajardos holster. For those saying Lantrips the quarterback now and Fajardos the future, all I would ask is: Why wait? In 2008, Nevada took a chance on starting Kaepernick over Nick
Graziano and the rest is etched in the teams record books. Of course, that situation was different because Kaepernick had already played more than half a season the year before because Graziano was hurt. But the principle remained: Ault went with a young player instead of a guy who had put in his time. It may not happen before Saturday when the team plays San Jose State, but Ault needs to go that route again soon.

Reality check
We thought wed do a little better, but thats what youve got to expect when you play a ranked opponent like Oregon, sophomore Karl Fredericks said after the game. What it comes down to at a time like this in enemy territory is pride. With the Pack, one thing youre always going to see is pride with us. Oregons offense racked up 603 total yards and eight touchdowns, but Casteneda and company remained condent.
Nevada head coach Chris Ault wasnt so optimistic though, as he described the loss as embarrassing and demoralizing. He said in the press conference after the game that the team should be practicing right now, and that this type of play cant continue throughout the rest of Nevadas opening four-game road trip. Nevada wont break Mackay Stadium into the 2011 season until Oct. 8 when the team faces instate rival University of Nevada, Las Vegas something that has its pros as well as its cons. Being on the road is going to
force us to develop our character, its going to force us to develop our oneness, Ault said. Theres strength in one, and thats what weve got to understand with this schedule. Ault is condent the added pressures will benet his players. Since they arent playing a home game until October eighth, has the obligation to keep our students and our fans entertained, Ault said. Thats a hefty duty, and good motivation.

Spartans quarterback Damsen Stewart made his rst collegiate start against UCLA last week, going 15-of-22 for 111 yards. Nevadas secondary gave up six passing touchdowns to the Ducks. Expect San Jose State to test Nevada deep, early and often for the big play.

MAKING THE CALL
STAFF PICKS
OPTIMIST SAYS: Though Nevada lost 69-20 to the Ducks, there were a few positives. Against San Jose State this week, quarterback Tyler Lantrip starts to click completely with the Pistol Offense, hooking up with receiver Rishard Matthews for multiple touchdowns. The secondary proves last week was a uke rather than the norm and the Wolf Pack rolls to its rst victory of the season. OUTCOME: Nevada wins 41-17 PESSIMIST SAYS: The Wolf Packs game me nat Oregon showed serious cause for concern. San Jose State exposes Nevadas secondary while running back Brandon Rutley has his way with Nevadas front seven. The Spartans are condent after nearly knocking off UCLA on the road er and are primed to win their home-opener against the Wolf Pack, sending Nevada to the bottom of the standings. OUTCOME: San Jose State wins 27-24

DIFFERENCE MAKER BRANDON RUTLEY

San Jose State quarterback Damsen Stewart showed surprising accuracy against UCLA, starting in place of senior Matt Faulkner. But if the Spartans want to pull off the upset, running back Brandon Rutley must have a breakout game. Rutley has big play ability, as his 65-yard touchdown run against the Bruins showed. However, he was largely shut down against Stanford in the teams season-opener. Though the Cardinal is nationally ranked, which Rutley shows up against Nevada could determine who wins. And with San Jose State still looking for its rst passing touchdown of the season, its clear most, if not all, of its scoring production will have to go through the ground game.
