With earthquakes increasing in the Reno area, ofcials anticipate, discuss potential disasters
Grant increases citations

Editor in chief
As part of a six-week-long program to cut back on underage drinking around the University of Nevada, Reno, the number of students cited for illegally consuming alcohol since the beginning of April has increased more than three-fold compared to April 2007. The increased enforcement is part of a $37,000 grant, known as the BASICS program, given to UNR to educate students about the effects of alcohol, said Daniel Crump, the universitys BASICS counselor. What were trying to do is make (students) think about their drinking, Crump, 29, said. Im not there to lecture them. Besides Crumps counseling position inside the ofce of student conduct, the grant has also partially funded UNRs police services to increase patrolling around the university for the six-week period. The patrolling has resulted in 84 minor in possession or consumption citations compared to April 2007s 22 citations. (The program) was designed because the last six weeks of school tend to increase (student) drinking and partying, Crump said. The rst

FAULT LINES
Faults are not always easy to detect some sit underneath the surface while others come in obvious forms, such as mountains or discolored scarring lines in the dirt. Faults are caused by breaks in the Earths crust that slip past each other in different directions - this movement often results in an earthquake. Historically, an earthquakes magnitude is determined by the size of the fault: 200-mile long faults can cause magnitude 9.0 quakes while a 5 to 10-mile long fault may only be capable of causing a 6.0.

DIP-SLIP FAULT
An earthquake is caused when one side of the fault falls abruptly below the other side. Over time these faults usually result in a valley while the side of the fault that stayed in place turns into a highland or a mountain. Nevada is made up mostly of these faults, which explains why the state is full of mountains and valleys.
Budget conict stalls approval

Assistant News Editor
The student government will face an $80,000 budget decit this month if it moves forward in hiring three new administrative positions and if the senate doesnt change a law to pay wages out of the student government savings account. The senate faces a paradox in deciding whether to pay the wages through the operational account, putting the government in the red, or changing a law and paying the wages through the capital account, possibly hurting their goal to save $500,000 within two years. This isnt as dire as everyone is making it out to be, said Sandra Rodriguez, director of the Associated Students of the University of Nevada. Making the decision without proper context is the only thing that could be a problem. President Eli Reilly has submitted two budget

STRIKE-SLIP FAULT
See EARTHQUAKE Page A8
This fault is less common, though still important, because western Nevadas earthquakes are generally caused by these kinds of faults. One side of the fault will stay stationary while stress builds up from the force of the other until eventually the fault breaks, distorting the land and causing an earthquake.

Ragsdales platform: Increase support for clubs and organizations

The budget for clubs and organization did not increase from last year. In Ragsdales candidacy bio, she wrote, I promise toensure that funding for clubs, organizations, consistent programming, and large scale events are a priority. Ragsdale said clubs were supported in other ways including having space and resources in the Joe Crowley Student Union. Accountability

of academic advising
Although it was part of Ragsdales platform, the senate created several positions to help ensure visibility and accountability of ASUN. For example, the attorney general was established to protect students and the director of public relations to promote events within the ofce. The senate held Ragsdale accountable for failing to make appointments to the election commission within a timely manner. In the end, the senate did not impeach or censure her. If I didnt cross a t or dot an i correctly, I was denitely sent a memo (by the senate), she said. Accessibility and quality Ragsdale said she had several meetings with college advisers and the provost to create consistent academic advising throughout the colleges. There was also a big push to publicize the course concierge, which students can call if the class they want is full or not available, she said.
Trillos platform: Increase recognition of Brushre and Wolf Pack Radio Create independence of The Nevada Sagebrush from ASUN Improve communication between the publications
Soon after Trillo was elected to ofce, the constitution was changed and his power over the publications was taken away. Instead, he was made responsible for assisting the president. Trillo said he always helped Ragsdale with what she asked and still tried to help publications where he could. He said he would stop by the publications ofces and check to see if they needed anything.

About 10 people attended last years club banquet in the Pine Lounge. This year, more than 50 club leaders attended a formal banquet in the JCSU. Increase club outreach The senate created the club commission, which was later divided into specific coalitions. Under Urbinas direction, the commission was a liaison between club leaders and the department. The commission attended club meetings to provide help and a physical presence. Clubs also had access to the new club resource room in the student union. Number of clubs This year, about 206 clubs were recognized and in good standing with ASUN, the most in ASUN history, Urbina said.

Reilly said University Weeks Chair Brita Muller and the other programmers played a big part in helping accomplish his goals.

Know the Knowledge Center

When students come back to school next fall, they will have a new building to retrieve books and knowledge. The Matthewson-IGT Knowledge Center will open Aug. 11, and is more than a traditional library, Steven Zink, dean of university libraries, said. Zink said the Knowledge Center differs from a library in that a knowledge center offers more technology and information. Libraries started when there was a scarcity of information, Zink said. Now information isnt scarce. The four story, 300,000 square foot building is double the size of Getchell Library and offers a lot of space for students.
Despite the Board of Regents approving its lease this spring, the Baja Fresh Mexican Grill may not be opening in the Joe Crowley Student Union after all, Chuck Price, student union director, said Monday.

We are pursuing other Mexican and Asian options, he said. Price said he hopes to have the space lled by next fall.

The third and fourth oors are mainly for book storage and study rooms. The way students retrieve books is different from Getchell. Students can enter the book they want through a computer and a large mechanical hand will nd the book according to its bar code, pick it up from a three-story shelf and deliver it to the circulation desk. The process takes approximately 10 minutes.
The large book-retrieving robot has been dubbed MARS by its creators. It will house older books that are not used as much and will not replace the stacks entirely.

Ten University of Nevada, Reno police ofcers and four sergeants said in February that they have no faith or condence in UNRPD Director Adam Garcia. The ofcers said they felt Garcia didnt properly prepare them for an active shooter scenario on campus. The vote came days after the shooting at Northern Illinois University. University ofcials said they will bring in a private consulting rm to try and solve problems in the police department. After Gov. Jim Gibbons asked each state agency to cut 4.5 percent from their budgets, UNR ended up cutting $18 million from its biennial budget. The cut will result in a $5 per credit fee in the 2008-2009 school year to cover some of the costs. Also, the Board of Regents voted for 5 percent tuition increases for the 2009-2010 and 20102011 school years. The tuition increases are as follows: $129.50 to $136 in fall 2009, and $136 to $142.50 in fall 2010. During the fall 2007 semester, Alpha Tau Omega members were caught branding pledges buttocks and forcing them to eat uncooked food. The universitys investigation into the fraternity lasted throughout winter break and resulted in ATO losing university recognition until 2011. The national ATO organization has not commented on the incident.

Inkblot Promotions and the Web masters. We function ne without it, Budget and Finance Chair Gracie Geremia said. The associate director of student activities would supervise the ASUN Senate, the elections commission, ASUN secretaries, the front desk staff, the assistant director of student activities and the assistant director of clubs and organizations. The position would make $74,092 in wages and benets. The assistant director of clubs and organizations would supervise all employees and events having to do with clubs and organizations. The positions salary and benets total $59,626. Right now, the ASUN director does most of the work outlined for the three new positions. Rodriguez said her administrative staff sometimes works 80 to 90-hour weeks and new staff members are needed for ASUN to function more efciently. My staff and I will accept whatever happens, she said. Geremia thinks a good solution might be for the senate to put the positions on hold. If they choose that option, they have to do so before May 26 when the search for employees stops and a candidate is chosen. If the senate chooses to leave the salaries in the operational account, cuts will happen. In this situation, Reilly said he would break the partnership between ASUN and the Recreation and Wellness Center. Right now, ASUN receives a percentage of Lombardi pass sales and pays for intramural sports. Breaking the agreement would allow the Recreation and Wellness Center to keep Lombardi prots and pay for intramural sports, which saves ASUN about $10,000. He said he counts on paying for the rest of the decit out of rollover money from this year and adjusting other things if necessary. If salaries are paid out of the capital account, there will be extra money in the operational budget. Reilly wants to increase club funding by $41,000, the homecoming budget by $35,000 and programming by about $14,000. He said he would also give about $2,000 more to both The Artemisia and the Brushre. I want to take the (wages) out of the capital account, so were showing students whats being done with their money, Reilly said.

proposals for each possibility so the senate can consider whether to pay for salaries out of the operational or capital accounts. About seven years ago, ASUN leaders started planning for the time when ASUN would outgrow itself and need new staff. They collected data and planned for ofce space in the new student union to house future employees. While senators argue that ASUN cant afford the positions and does not need them now, administrators say they are needed to relieve an overworked administrative staff. Three new administrative positions were approved by the last two senate sessions. The extra positions also went through a slew of university checkpoints ranging from the human resources department to the provost. ASUN already has the almost $200,000 in wages for new personnel accounted for in its overall budget. However, if those wages are taken out of the operational account like the law now requires, it puts ASUN in a decit. The senate could amend the law and take the wages out of the capital account instead. Some worry that by using the capital account as a crutch, it will never reach $500,000 by scal year 2010. Rodriguez said bookstore profits will transfer to ASUN three times before 2010. ASUN will also receive a budget increase next year when students are charged an ASUN fee of $5 per credit instead of $4.34 per credit. Another solution could be eliminating some or all of the administrative positions. Some senators argue that the positions arent necessary right now because other people are already doing those jobs. The new administrative positions are: The technology coordinator would provide tech support for ASUN computers, which UNRs Information Technology department handles now. The coordinator would also handle the info monitors, which Inkblot Promotions is in charge of. The technology coordinator would have a salary and benets of $71,270 and would also supervise ASUN employees in
Reilly prepared for presidency

Two weeks ago the presidents ofce was empty. Now gym shorts, ROCKSTARs and Wolf Pack memorabilia ll the ofce. President Eli Reilly said its all a part of who he is and a reminder of how grateful he is that he ended up at the University of Nevada, Reno. It was a bizarre turn of events, Reilly, a 20-year-old history major, said. Reillys original plan was to attend UNR for a year, then transfer to the University of Redlands, a California school he had a $35,000 scholarship for. After a year, his plans changed and he decided to stay at UNR. He has attended UNR for the past three years. It was the people, Reilly said. It was the environment. Reilly wanted to stay for the experience, from painting the N to meeting all the people who worked for the Associated Students of the University of Nevada. His freshman year, Reilly met Jeff Champagne, the ASUN president for 2005-2007, a man who is now an inspiration to Reilly. Seeing Champagne put so much effort into the university

made Reilly realize the importance of college events. Champagne said despite Reillys high position as president, Reilly will always remain a playful guy who can make anybodys day better. Whenever I was having a bad day as president I would go to the programming ofce and talk to Eli to cheer up, Champagne said. Reillys way of cheering people up generally involves passionately singing a popular rap song. He knows every lyric to every gangster rap song, Champagne said. Reilly said he is so energetic because he doesnt want to lose any moment of college. I spent my freshman year watching block parties from my dorm room while I played World of Warcraft, Reilly said. Thats not how people should spend their college years. Reilly got involved in Flipside Productions his freshman year and loved watching students benet from events.

Alcohol
six weeks of next semester will also include increased enforcement for underage drinking. Several universities around the country, including the University of Notre Dame and the University of Michigan, have enacted the program. The BASICS program requires students to go to two one-onone sessions with Crump to talk about alcohol and possible addiction. Students also must face the consequences in the justice system. The program has drawn criticism from some students and praise from the universitys administration and police.
Kaitlin Brush, the former legal services director for the Associated Students of the University of Nevada, wrote a letter to UNR President Milton Glick last month criticizing the program as unfairly targeting students. Ive noticed a trend of students being punished by the university police consistently for minor crimes and just an attitude by the police and the university administration that the students are criminals on campus and that they should be the focus of the university polices efforts, Brush, 21, who served as ASUNs legal services director from fall 2006 to spring 2008, said. But university ofcials say the program is designed to protect students by addressing a grow-
ing concern perceived by many universities nationwide student drinking is out of control. I think the alcohol awareness policy is an excellent way to send the message that we have zero-tolerance for that type of behavior, UNR Police Chief Adam Garcia said. He said police will stop students if they see suspicious activity usually in the form of a stumbling student or two students carrying a passed-out friend. You cant just stop anybody because you want to, Garcia said. Shannon Ellis, vice president of student affairs at UNR, said that students who are drinking are incredibly vulnerable when walking alone which is why university ofcials want
more enforcement of underage drinking law. I dont care if theyre mad at me, Ellis said. Whats more important is staying safe. Tori Castillo, a 19-year-old nursing major, said she thinks the university has good intentions with its alcohol awareness programs, but they ultimately fall on deaf ears. I dont think theyre accomplishing their goal, Castillo said, adding she doesnt drink alcohol. If somebody wants to drink, theyre going to drink. Reno Municipal Judge Jim Van Winkle, who occasionally sees underage drinkers before his court, said most students with rst-time offenses usually walk away with a small ne of about $100 and community service.
Three blue lights installed, additional 22 within next month

Staff Report
The University of Nevada, Reno has installed three blue boxes on campus out of the 25 that should be up and running within four weeks, Jane Tors, spokeswoman for UNR, said. Though the three are installed, they are not running because workers still have to work on the electrical wiring. The three towers are located in Hilliard Plaza, in front of the Joe Crowley Student Union and north of the quad. Seventy-two blue light phones are already located in parking garages around campus. Tors said the blue light phones are equipped with two different buttons. One button rings directly through to 9-1-1 services while the other button contacts campus escort services. The button for the campus escort service is more like a courtesy call, whereas the 9-1-1 button is for emergencies only, Tors said.
Earthquakes
Ofcials said that the university is prepared if larger temblors occur. Students shouldnt worry about these small earthquakes or buildings coming down, said Edward Atwell, the universitys emergency management coordinator. While most campus buildings have steel foundations, the university identied 10 buildings as unreinforced masonry buildings, meaning there is no steel in the buildings walls, said Stephen Mischissin, assistant director of facilities services. Those buildings are Clark Administration, Thompson Hall, Jones Center, Facilities Services Building, Virginia Street Gym, Palmer Engineering, Mackay Science, Lincoln Hall, Morrill Hall and Manzanita Hall. All of the buildings listed are at least 60 years old. Mischissin pointed out that the buildings have made it through larger earthquakes in the past and should be able to sustain future damage. The biggest thing people should be worrying about is items falling from above, he said. The university plans to submit capital requests to redo the foundations of Lincoln and
Manzanita halls to the state legislature in 2009, Mischissin said. They originally asked for money last year, but the requests were voted down. Rod Aeschlimann, Residential Life director, said ofcials are in the process of examining the residence halls to make sure the buildings are safe for students to live in. Even with students moving out, we want to make sure that everything is stable and safe, Aeshlimann said. The university is also planning on having an earthquake drill in June, Atwell said. The drill, an annual event that prepares the university to deal with various disaster situations, will show faculty, administration and other participants what a 7.2 magnitude earthquake would do to the university and surrounding area. Atwell said the university will work with the cities of Reno, Sparks, Washoe County and surrounding counties to act out the scenario. They plan on testing the emergency communications systems, which include sending voicemails to all the phones on campus and testing out the Washoe County Regional Communications System, which allows university people to reach rst responders from REMSA and the Reno hospitals.

First of all a large percentage of students who come to the U of N is that they come from Las Vegas (I spent my high school time there) where Nevada as an academic and athletic institution is completely marginalized. Furthermore, Reno is portrayed as being more akin to Fernley than to the actual state of affairs here. Therefore, consciously, or subconsciously, these students come up here with a negative mind set and it takes a lot to change that. Im guilty of this, I came up here expecting Fernley and wound up loving this city, university, and the people involved. It basically allows for an easy cop-out when you come up here with a predisposition relative to the city and university. Another problem is the down-looking Californians viewing Nevada as a lesser entity and making fun of the university. One of the most confounding things about this is the simple fact that THEY GO HERE. Have some pride. And a third is local apathy. A lot of people have grown up here, Nevada has always been here, and they just grow apathetic to the university as just being here. 53% of Nevadas 16,000 undergraduates are from Washoe County.

STAFF EDITORIAL I LEAVING NEVADA
As Reno grows, things change for UNR

ts changed. This university. This city. Maybe its the blue ribbons that still ap in the wind. Thousands of them, reminding us to think about that smiling 19-year-old woman and the monster responsible for her early death. Maybe its the orange cones that line this campus. Hordes of them, reminding us that this university nally deserves a world-class student union and library. Or maybe its downtown. Dirty, downtown Reno.
The only difference being its not that dirty anymore. People write about it now in magazines like Esquire. Theyre not making fun of it. Its ruddy and rock hard, self-evident and openhearted, Tom Chiarella writes of Reno in Esquire. Reno is of a whole. It is a city, not an event. Reno has changed. So has this university. Right under everyones noses despite all that glitz and glamour of that event down south. Were no longer a small town, nor a small university, tucked
away at the foot of the Sierra Nevadas. Students have been talking about change for decades. Paul Strickland wrote about it in the 1979 Artemisia. Students were annoyed by air pollution, and they were imperiled by serious crime which reached even into the university campus, Strickland wrote. Students wondered whether it might soon become just another sterile, overly bureaucratic multiversity. In some ways our university has lost some of that charm Strickland alludes to. The
universitys administration is more prone to protect us than ever before. From hazing. From drinking. From getting out of hand. They probably know no matter how many rules they enforce this is still a university at the end of the day. Students will be students they should just remember to be safe. Reno is nally growing up. This university isnt far behind. We have big city problems and even bigger goals. We want so badly to be an ESPN darling. We want so badly to be like those schools
where people dress up in funny costumes at football games. But what we need is a community. Next to the university. What we need is personality near our campus and people enjoying it. Restaurants. Bars. Shops. Stickland might have seen a university on the decline. But this city and its school has much more growing up to do. Theres nothing wrong with a little change. Good luck, Brian Duggan Editor in chief, 2007-2008

EDITORIAL CARTOON
I paid $100 to cuddle with a prostitute
y column at The Nevada Sagebrush has been a zany one. This year I proposed to replace the geese at Manzanita Lake with gorillas, endorsed an ASUN presidential candidate for having very competent breasts and gave satirical advice on how to successfully have onenight stands (the secret is lots of lying and alcohol). I also took jabs at Davidson Academy children, Cofn and Keys and even God Himself. Since Im graduating this month and leaving for Madagascar to teach English for two years, I wanted to make my last column go out with a bang. So I did what any zany Nevadan student columnist would do: I went to a brothel to cuddle and talk about current events with a prostitute. Why wouldnt I? Apart from being a funny story, Id get to learn what goes on inside brothels. Legal brothels, like gambling and quick marriages, are a part of Nevadan culture. Theyre a part of our states history. Having spent my entire life in Las Vegas and Reno, I was astounded that I hadnt visited a brothel before. I grabbed some friends a few weeks ago and drove to Mustang Ranch, a Jordan C. brothel in Storey County a 15-minute Butler drive east of Reno. We walked into the Ranch to nd nearly-naked women relaxing in chairs and waiting to chat with customers. That ones mine! one said to one of my friends like a ravenous wolf. Can I have him? My friend chuckled nervously. These womenor girls, as they call themselves were of all shapes and sizes. Big breasts, little breasts. Big asses, small asses. Skinny, thick, tall, short, whatever. Race, too: Africans, Egyptians, Persians, Thais, Latinas and so on. Anything you wanted, they had. They meandered throughout the Florentine-styled lobby in their bustiers and skimpy negligees and irted with potential customers. A girl named Persia came to my buddy and me and started talking. She was Persian and wore a bustier that made her breasts the size of bowling balls. She was smiling and batting her eyes and laughing as if I was the funniest guy on the planet. Then she said, Can I give you a tour? Its non-binding. We went on the tour. The bedrooms were themed and equipped with Jacuzzis, double-sted dildos, king-sized beds, tantric tables and curtain-less showers for watching girl-on-girl action. There were world, Italian, Hawaiian, Asian and princess-themed rooms. The princess room had a white bed with frills and pink shearing. What kind of customers get the princess room? I asked. Female customers? No, Persia said with a hint of disgust. Pedophiles, usually. We nished the tour and I was ready for my selection. I announced my readiness and sat down in a chair. Suddenly a woman over loudspeakers said, All girls on shift, line up! Prostitutes then emerged from a door and introduced themselves one-by-one, Hi, my names Emily, Hi, my names Cinnamon, Hi, my names Jade and so on until there were nine or 10 girls peering down at me with inviting eyes. I picked the friendliest-looking girl so that when I told her I only wanted to cuddle, she wasnt likely to get mad and strike me in the temple with a ve-inch
Senioritis.
SEX AND MORE
Summers in Reno bring great opportunities for lovin
See BROTHEL on the next page
heres a reason Sandy and Danny sang Summer Nights in Grease: Singing about winter nights amid all those Doo wops and Sha la las just wouldnt sound right. The same goes for Don Henley singing The Boys of Summer. The boys of winter just wouldnt conjure up the same images of hot days, bikinis, baseball and steamy lovin in the locker room or something like that. Although romance can be found in the falling leaves, curled up by a re while Karah it snows or Lucas on a sunny spring day, no season represents lust like summer does. Unless youre superhuman and can withstand the sweltering 100-degree temperatures, youre going to have to take some clothes off. I know its hard to leave behind the security blanket known as your hooded sweater with Nevada em-
broidered on it, but trust me, it will hurt so good. The gradual peeling of clothes and shortening of skirts automatically equals raised levels of sexiness during the summer. And its not just fun for girls to break out their shorts and skirtsit drives guys crazy since all theyve been seeing the past ve months are Ugg boots and full-length body armor to protect you from the snow and their prying eyes. So now that summer is upon us, we must decide what we can do to make this summer an unforgettable one lled with romance and sexual escapades, or sexcapades, if you will. Reno may not seem like the ideal summer place. There isnt a beach with white sand, palm trees or anything that screams tropical. But dont forget that Lake Tahoe is just a short drive away and, believe it or not, it is a famous vacation destination. Pack a lunch and your boyfriend/girlfriend/favorite flavor of the week, drive up early and spend your day lying on the sand, braving the water and reveling in the fact that you are wearing very little clothing. At some beaches like Kings
Beach you can go parasailing and rent jet skis. It will be easy to forget that youre only an hour away from home. Stick around and watch the sunset. Chicks dig sunsets. You can spout off something cheesy like This sunset is almost as beautiful as your eyes, but chances are your reward is already in the bag. If you cant make it to the lake for a romantic getaway, dont underestimate how fun taking a trip to the river can be. Whether you go kayaking, strolling or just sitting down and watching the activity, it is denitely a good summer getaway and a potential ice breaker when it comes to expressing your undying devotion, holding someones hand for the rst time or letting her know that her name must be Daisy because you want to plant her right here. So dont let this summer just pass you by. No school and warm weather are much too good to let go to waste. The world is priming you for romance, so go get it!

UNIVERSITY OPINION
Youre great and all, Las Vegas, but youre pretty supercial
ear City of Las Vegas, Lets be honest, can I be honest? Things just arent working outwe both knew this was coming, so dont act as if youre surprised. Its time to be real. Youre a city with over 2 million people in it, and it is beginning to feel as if you dont have time for me. I feel like another face in the crowd of millions. When it comes down to it, I think we just have such different personalities. Youre all about the glitz and glamour, fancy cars, flashing lights and world famebut that doesnt impress me. I dont care. I dont care about the Lamborghinis, the Ferraris or any other of the hundred thousand-dollar cars that riddle your streets. I could care less about the multibillion-dollar mega-resorts and entertainment industry that blankets
the Strip and every billboard in your city limits. After a while, they all seem the same to me. Your summers are miserable, your weather is monotonous and, until recently, I never knew the Memo seasons of fall and Sanchez spring existed. Whats worse is I feel I need to impress people when I go there. It feels as if people are looking at my clothes, my car, my house and measuring me up to see where I t on their hierarchy of fame and fortune. Thats not me. Im a meat-andpotatoes kind of guy. I buy my sunglasses from 7-Eleven because I know within a week theyll end up at the bottom of a lake. Im happy driving my 10-year-old

Yes, Savers, second-hand non-designer clothing. I like a place with (gasp) indigenous trees where the leaves change colors in October and fall off in December, where the nearby lakes have water that is crystal clear and air quality that is unmatched. I need a city that explodes with life at the first sign of good weather, becoming inundated with cyclists on their Sunday morning rides, joggers training for their next marathon and elderly drifters, beatniks and bums that litter the banks of the Truckee River. I need a local community where no matter where I go Ill always recognize a few faces and see a few unfamiliar ones that pique my interest. I need a home that engages and challenges me year after year with endless opportunities to try something new and daring. In the end Im glad weve had this time apart, as Ive been able to rethink who I am and what I value. As you may know I am living in Reno now. I know this may be a bitter pill to swallow, but I want you to know youre a remarkable city and I know youll continue to prosper. There are tons of people out there that youll continue to wow with your behemoth casinos, engaging shows and incomparable nightlife. For what its worth, the 18 years of history that we had together is something I wouldnt change for the world. Plus, I can say with the utmost sincerity that your strippers are way hotter. Yours, Memo

A FOREIGN AFFAIR
Travel and learn abroad by joining Model United Nations

2009. Now Im well aware that with summer vacation looming ahead you hardly have the patience for nals, let alone planning two semesters in advance, but I can assure you that one thing makes it worth the wait: Model United Nations (MUN). No, no, dont laugh. How can a model of an already unpopular institution be worth laying down some of your quality class-skipping, beer-drinking time? Oh, but it is, my friends. First of all, every spring semester the MUN class becomes a haven for all students who love international politics, debate and, basically, free

trips to conferences in fun-filled and exotic locales such as Phillipa Cairo, Egypt and San Lockwood Francisco. Of course, there is real work involved, too, but I like to think that this work thing, when connected to MUN, isnt so bad and may in fact be highly beneficial to people in a wide variety of majors. For obvious reasons, international affairs and political science majors benet from MUN because its the best way to put into practice those long, tedious hours of class, lectures, readings, and daunting 20-page essays. Not only that, but the people attending these conferences are undoubtedly the future of the international scene. I know Ive rubbed shoulders with the future heads of state, ambassadors and potential real-life UN representatives on many nights at the hotel bar after our meetings have ended. As far as the more serious business or marketing majors are concerned, the whole MUN system is an
exercise in bargaining, coercing and compromising to get what you and your respective country wants. And, to add to the excitement, next years MUN San Francisco Conference will feature a simulation of the World Trade Organization. What better way to warm up to your future career as head of a major international corporation? Finally, for the rest of you education majors, engineering majors, mathematics majors and so on, MUN is just plain F.U.N. Yes, the meetings and conferences are political, but the people youll meet are phenomenal, the places youll visit are fantastic and the topics to be discussed cover a broad yet appealing spectrum that are fascinating to many. How about a little exposure to the UNs environmental policy thorough United Nations Environment
Programme for those earthy types? Or for all you adrenaline junkies, how about an intense ride through a crisis simulation of North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Security Council? Wow, what a rush. What better way to add a little excitement and variety to your college education than by pretending to be part of another country, culture or conference committee? Besides, what other class will ask you to spend time in Cairo and San Francisco and simply talk to other people for a grade? I know Ive never had it so good. Heres lookin at you, spring semester: May 2009 be as fun-lled as 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Brothel
stiletto. Her name was Toni, a 55, 170-pound girl described on the Mustang Ranchs Web site as a black beauty. Nevada state law doesnt allow the prostitutes to discuss prices in publicthatd be considered illicit solicitation for sexso Toni and I walked into a negotiation room. I imagined it to be like an interrogation room, but it was actually a pleasantly-lit room with beige walls and a sofa. Toni and I sat down and began our deliberations. OK, I said. This might be a weird request, but I just want to cuddle. I dont have a lot of money on me, so maybe we could cuddle for 15 minutes or so. How much would that cost? How much money do you have on you? Twenty bucks, I said. Twenty bucks? she said, surprised. Theres a $100 minimum. This wasnt going well. But I just want to cuddle. I dont want anything else. Is it possible to cuddle for 15 or 20 minutes or something for $20? Im a poor college student and I cant afford much more. Yeah, no, Im sorry. Theres a $100 minimum. I left the negotiation room feeling like a failure. I went to my friends and reported my ndings. They offered to chip in for a $100 cuddling session and said I couldnt back down now. I
agreed and went back to Toni in the negotiation room. OK, how long can we cuddle for $100? I said. Just cuddling? Toni said. Five, 10 minutes maybe. For cuddling?! For the love of Lord! Yeah, she said. You get other stuff, too, like intimate kissing, a blow job, a massage. Oh, no, I dont want that stuff, I said. I just want to cuddle. No kissing, no massage or anything. None of that? No, I said. Actually, I want nothing sexual with this. All I want is for your head and hand on my chest, and thats it. Toni laughed. Like spooning? Exactly! Do you want us to be naked? Toni said. Or have underwear cuddling? No, no, you dont have to be naked. We can cuddle just with our clothes on. Thats all I want. Im keeping my clothes on. Fifteen minutes, she said. Well, since theres nothing sexual and were not going to be naked, can we do it for 20 minutes? Well see what I can do, she smiled. So why do you want to cuddle? Do you just really like cuddling? I havent had a girlfriend in a few months, I said, faking a sad smile. I miss the affection. I like the feeling of companionship that goes along with cuddling. The fact that she then checked my genitals for STDs
led me to believe that she thought I would try to turn our cuddling into a bondage-anddomination party or something. She inspected me with gloved hands and sanitized me with a wipe to make sure that I didnt have anything that God didnt put there. The inspection wasnt awkward, though: It was like getting a physical at the doctors ofce, except this doctor was probably willing to masturbate in front of me for a certain price. Minutes later we were in Tonis bedroom. There were stuffed animals hanging in a net from the ceiling. A boombox on one of her cabinets was blasting Ludacris. I apparently didnt look like a Ludacris fan, so she changed the music to Dave Matthews Band. Matthewss bluesy acoustic guitar began as Toni rested her head on my chest. So do you want to talk or just sit here in silence? Toni said. Oh, I want to talk! Well, what do you want to talk about? Politics. We talked about the grueling contest between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. She liked Clinton, but since she had never seen Obama speak, I told her to look him up on the Internet. Hes hot, I said. Youll have a crush on him instantly. Hell, I do! I have a total man-crush on Obama! She laughed. The conversation turned to Tonis past clients. Toni said she had a client who paid her to kick him in the testicles for ve
minutes. Surprisingly, she said he wasnt bawling or screaming in pain but instead antagonizing her so that she would kick him harder. But the weirdest requests I get are the guys who make me put on a strap-on and fuck them in the ass, Toni said. I asked her if it was awkward to do sexual things with strangers, and she said no. She saw her work at Mustang Ranch as experiences instead of sex. So in your eyes, you dont have sex with customers? You have experiences with them? I asked. She nodded. I asked my prostitute about the United States deteriorating economy. She didnt know much about the economy, but she said the Mustang Ranch was getting less business than usual. I told Toni about Madagascar, but she didnt know where it was. I started tracing Africa in the air with my nger and said the continent was shaped like a shoe. She disagreed and said it looked like a horses head bending down for water. She joined me in drawing Africa with her nger in the airhow silly we mustve looked! At one point Toni rolled onto her belly, folded her hands under her chin and placed her head on my chest so she could gaze dreamily into my eyes. She remained like that for the rest of our cuddling session. I looked at my watch some time later and was shocked. Weve been cuddling for 40 minutes! I said.
Yeah? Toni said, unconcerned. I shrugged and we kept cuddling. Another 20 minutes of cuddling and laughing went by. I was getting concerned for my wallets sake. I said: Weve been cuddling for an hour! Are you going to charge me for it? I dont want to pay for $400 of cuddling. No, its OK, Toni said. Im an independent contractor, so I can set my own rate. Then she playfully jumped to her knees. Hey, do you want to play a game? Want to play Scattergories? She pointed to one of her cabinets, and sure enough, Scattergories lay on top. I politely declined. We started talking about our hobbies. Toni liked to draw. She went to a cabinet and took out her sketchbook. Inside there were rudimentary drawings of Woodstock, Tonis favorite cartoon character. There was also an angel sitting on a mountaintop, crying, with her head in her folded arms. Underneath it said, The unloved. Wait a second, is that you? I asked. It was. When she placed her hands back on my chest, I realized that Toni didnt want me to leave. I came to the brothel to cuddle as a prankand it was funny that I talked about the Democratic primary and Americas declining economy with a prostitutebut then it turned into a genuine conversation on traveling, Lake Tahoe, Harry Potter and what
we wanted to do with our lives. Toni, the unloved, only wanted someone to talk to. In a twisted way, Toni got more love than most people, but it wasnt the type of love she wanted. The love she wanted was the kind I gave her: platonic and friendly attention. Why else did our 20-minute cuddling session last an hour and a half? Why else was Toni so reluctant to let me leave? My suspicions were correct. The next evening Toni wrote on the Mustang Ranchs Web site: Last night I had a college student I thought you know that he would want what every college student wanted (straight lay). But once we got to the negotiation room to my surprise what he wanted to do is just spend a little time with me an cuddle no sex massage or foreplay. Just lay cuddle an talk we must have cuddled an talked for an hour. It was such a change from the regular straight lay it was so nice.. So if anyone is up for cuddle time I am willing an ready!!! And as I think of Toni and all the other lonely and underappreciated people I know, Im reminded of a quote attributed to Mother Teresa: There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love. Lets solve that problem. Being more loving shouldnt involve a columnist on his last hurrah, and it doesnt hurt or cost a thingat least in most cases. In my case it cost $100.

Iron Man shoots down preconceptions of superhero genre with wit and are
Assistant Web Editor
Megatron and the rest of the Transformers can kiss Iron Mans gold-tainted ass, because Robert Downey Jr. (Charlie Bartlett) and Jon Favreau (Zathura) have created something Michael Bay has never heard of a clever, engaging blockbuster. In Iron Man, Downey Jr. stars as Tony Stark, the worlds most illustrious weapons manufacturer/ playboy. On the verge of his latest missile release, Stark is captured and forced to build a new weapon for an elite terrorist group. During the capture, however, Stark is attacked and hit by multiple pieces of shrapnel from one of his own bombs. In order to stay alive, a powerful magnet is placed in his chest in order to prevent the shrapnel from going to his heart. Realizing that he cannot give into the terrorists demands, he builds a giant armored mechanical suit powered by his magnet and quickly escapes. Once home, Stark realizes that his weapon manufacturing industry is contributing more to terrorism rather than peace. In an effort to make things right, he decides to build a more technologically advanced suit that will help him rid the world of his deadly creations and any other evil that threatens humanity. Over the past 30 years, lmmakers have been trying to create the ultimate superhero movie. In 1978 Richard Donner undoubtedly brought the genre popularity with the rst Superman. Tim Burton gave viewers a gritty look at the rst human superhero in Batman in 1988. After a long drought, Sam Raimi brought comic fans back to the multiplexes in 2001 with Spider-Man. Today, Favreau has topped what all the others have done by creating the new, dening superhero movie of our generation with Iron Man. Iron Man retains a median between the typical summer blockbuster and an intelligently developed superhero movie.

IRON MAN
Release Date: May 1 Director: Jon Favreau Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard Genre: Action, Adventure Rating: PG-13 Grade: AWhile it may not be as brilliantly structured as Batman Begins, it knows its comic roots by being cheesy when needed, but not completely ridiculous like the two-hour eye candy fest that was last years Transformers. With great action, humor, visual effects, hot cars, hot babes, cool gadgets, a perfect leading role and everything else on the typical blockbuster checklist, this lm is dened by its simplicity. As much as Favreau deserves all the credit for making Iron Man the blockbuster masterpiece that it is, Downey Jr. is arguably the main reason why this lm works. By mixing the personalities of Dr. House, Neil Patrick Harris, and of course, Robert Downey Jr., he creates the perfect superhero alter ego. With his intelligence and wealth complemented by mass amounts of cockiness, he makes Bruce Waynes dark ambition look emo. With Downey Jr. stealing every scene, the other actors struggle to nd any depth with their inferior characters. Gwyneth Paltrow (The Good Night) plays the comic book adaptation of Pam from The Ofce with her character Pepper Potts. Half sexy, half nerdy, Paltrow oats around the movie with no solid footing on where she is taking her character. The same can be said for Terrence Howard (The Perfect Holiday), who plays Starks sidekick, Jim Rhodes. Since Howard is usually only seen with Downey Jr., he only seems

to accomplish enhancing the coolness of Tony Stark. Outside of the acting and the plot, the movie is lled with an abundance of pop culture references, cheap marketing ploys and unforgettable cameos. In unquestionably the greatest marketing of the year, war survivor and American hero, Tony Stark is seen eating a Burger King Whopper while exiting his limo during his welcome back press conference. Since when did the Whopper become the dening American burger? Along with the Marvel studio logo automatically comes comic book legend Stan Lee. Over the past few years, Lee has made sure he is seen in the movie adaptations of his greatest works. In Iron Man he is given the cameo of a lifetime by appearing as man-god Hugh Hefner. It may also be worth your time to stay after the credits for quite possibly the greatest 15-second cameo of all time. When all is said and done, and for some reason if you are a tasteless bastard who thought the movie was worse than your own pathetic life, you can at least be happy that you got to see the new orgasmic-worthy Dark Knight trailer that precedes the lm.

Ron Toomer, who graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1961, helped pioneer steel roller coasters along with implementing the idea of the corkscrew roller coaster and its shoulder harness.

University graduates make cultural strides

In the world of entertainment, the alumni of the University of Nevada, Reno have left an unexpected mark, inuencing everything from rollercoasters to sitcoms to the freedom of YouTube. Amy Carothers, director of Alumni Relations, admits UNR gets a bad rap outside of Northern Nevada. She said there are plenty alumni who are improving the Universitys reputation. Over 130 years, UNR students like Delora Zajick have gone on to sing soprano in the opera, Joey Gilbert boxed on the reality TV show The Contender and pianist Lorie Line founded her own independent record company, Lorie Line Music, Inc., that now grosses $5 million annually. Other UNR alumni achievements have penetrated deeper into American culture. Graduate Charlie Douglass invented the Laff Box in the early 1950s, which is heard every time Al Bundy or Frasier Crane makes a joke. Who would have thought of that? It is really unique, Carothers said. Other alumni have made screwier contributions to American culture. Ronald Toomer has been credited with creating the corkscrew roller coaster. I didnt invent anything, anywhere, I just made it work, Toomer said. He said he was working at a roller coaster factory in Mountainview, Calif. in 1971. His bosses brought in the idea of the roller coaster, and they soon went to work on it. He said he never thought any idea was impossible especially the corkscrew roller coaster. Alumnus Tim Casey made a recent impression on the Internet. Interim Editor of Nevada Silver and Blue magazine, Melanie Robbins, jokingly said he saved the Web. Casey switched his major to electrical engineering in 1984 to avoid taking a foreign language class, which led him to a career as an intellectual properties lawyer. Casey started working for MCI, a phone company and Internet Service Provider. He got into this part of the law when copyrighted material on the Internet was becoming an issue. At first, content companies like Timer Warner were pressuring the government to allow them to sue the ISPs and Web sites for pirated material that their users post or e-mailed. Robbins said if ISPs were sued, Internet prices would skyrocket and lawyers fees alone would have buried sites like YouTube. She said Casey was able to write a law that gave ISPs and Web sites protection from being sued as long as they took down the material within a reasonable amount of time. If it hadnt been for him the law would allow content companies to sue Internet Service Providers, Robbins said. I think he is the guy who saved the Internet.
Small-town barber cuts it on the big screen

UNR alumni make movie on hometown barbershop

Art Williamson knew almost everything about Chris Ford, although Ford didnt know much about his longtime barber. So to fix this problem Ford, a University of Nevada, Reno grad, started making things up. I almost felt bad, Ford said. Hed always asked about me, but Id never asked about him. So creating a story, for me, was a small way of letting go of the guilt for having never really took the time to get to know him. In 1998, Ford started to write his film The Village Barbershop. In 2004, he asked friend and fellow UNR graduate Jason Newmark to co-produce while Ford directed it. The two finished the movie early this year, and it has been circulating West Coast film festivals and picked up Official Selection awards at the Newport Beach Film Festival, Sonoma Valley Film Festival, the Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, Calif. and the Santa Cruz Film Festival. It also won the Audience Award Best Feature at Cinequest. The movie is set in Reno and tells the story of Art Leroldi (played by John Ratzenberger, who played the postal worker on Cheers), a grumpy old barber whose business partner just died. He is forced to hire Gloria Macintyre (Shelly Cole, Gilmore Girls), a young pregnant woman just dumped by her boyfriend. Although Art is against hiring Gloria at first, the two form a bond and help each other get past their respective obstacles in life, Newmark said. Its not an action movie or a horror movie, its just a good story, Ford said. The real Village Barbershop is located on California Street across from Reno High School. Ford grew up and went to school a block away from the barbershop. When he went to college, he continued to get

his hair cut from Williamson. He still gets haircuts at oldfashioned shops though he doesnt live in Reno. He is kind of addicted to barbershops, Newmark said. Ford and Newmark met in college through their fraternity, Sigma Nu. Their friend Pat Martinez said the two shared an interest in film, which helped them become and stay friends. The two graduated in 1992 and Ford went into advertising while Newmark became a film editor. Ford said he started to write the film after he heard one of his co-workers say he was going to write a script himself. Then in 2004, Ford was having coffee with director Ed Burns. Burns convinced him that it wasnt that hard for a first-time director to make their first feature. Ford said he then went to Newmark for help with the movie. Chris wrote the screenplay and he needed someone experienced to work with, Martinez said. Both were very ambitious and creative. They both had the vision to do this and drive to jump through the hoops. Williamson was able to see the movie in San Jose. He said he didnt have much in common with the character Art, except they both like to get a hotdog and a beer for $1.99 at Cal-Neva. Ford admits the two characters arent similar and were never meant to be. He said Art in the movie is a mix of different people he knows. Newmark said hes happy with the film despite its low budget. He said they want to screen the film in Reno when it is finished with all of the festivals, but they dont have any concrete plans yet.

Nevada grads debut sports radio show Grads

saw athletic history
The sports radio air-waves invited two Nevada graduates yesterday on 1450 AM
Scott Oxarart
Sports Editor
Chris Ciarlo and Ben Deach can remember their weekly sports radio show on Wolf Pack Radio. On Monday, they got their chance at the next level. The two debuted a sports radio show on Fox Sports Radio 1450 AM and have a three-month contract with the station. The Monday-Friday, hour-long show starts at 8 a.m. It went pretty good, said Ciarlo, brother of Nevada second baseman David Ciarlo. Its hard to believe its off and running. In Mondays show, the two grads discussed the San Jose Sharks hockey team, Wolf Pack baseball, NBA playoffs and the Kentucky Derby. We also ripped on Ben and how he doesnt have a girlfriend, Ciarlo said. The show will dive into Wolf Pack sports and national sports, but the difference with this show is that it will also discuss life matters. We want to mix in non-sportsrelated stuff, Deach said. The show will have segments where callers and e-mailers can do quick rants, on What bugs you Wednesday. The show will also have interviews with coaches and players, both local and national, and guest round table discussions with other media. Ciarlo said they are trying to get interviews with Nevada mens basketball coach Mark Fox, Galena basketball player Luke Babbitt, Nevada baseball coach Gary Powers, former Nevada baseball player and San Diego Padres third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff and former Nevada basketball player and Los Angeles Clipper Nick Fazekas. Deach graduated from Nevada last May and Ciarlo will graduate May 17, both with degrees in journalism.
he Thursday nights at the Wal had to end sometime. Apparently, after ve years of (usually) going to class, stumbling around downtown Reno at obscene hours of the morning and staying up all night to write papers and make sure this rag comes out on time, Ive endured enough punishment to merit a piece of paper and the right to never sit in a classroom again. For me, and the two thousand or so other students who will also be graduating in two weeks, the responsibility-free lifestyle of quasichildhood is over. Weve crammed, Garrett weve Hylton imbibed, weve grown up and, now, weve managed to make it out of the University of Nevada alive. But the graduating class of 2008 is special for another reason. Weve played witness to the best ve years in Nevada athletics history. I dont think any of us arrived in Reno because of the sports teams. Five years ago the Wolf Pack was a solid mid-major department with a pretty strong tradition but no real national reputation to speak of. I knew about as much about the Fremont Cannon as I did about the Krebs Cycle. As we leave, however, Nevada has one of the best mid-major athletic departments in the nation. The mens basketball team started a run of four straight NCAA Tournament appearances with a Sweet 16 run in 2004 and the football team went to its first bowl game in almost a decade after beating No. 16 Fresno State at Mackay Stadium. Since 2004 the mens basketball, football, mens golf, womens golf, soccer, softball, track and swimming and diving teams all won conference championships. The rifle team took second in the nation, the skiing team finished top 10 in the nation and the volleyball team made it to two NCAA Tournaments. If in ve, 10, or 15 years the department has grown to be nationally known , well all be able to say we were part of the beginning. For me personally, Ill always remember tailgating at Mackay Stadium and rushing the field after the Pack won back the Fremont Cannon in 2005, exchanging beads with a Memphis fan on Bourbon Street during last years NCAA Tournament, feeling the intensity of a Nevada-Hawaii volleyball game, and chilling with friends at Peccole Park after a busy finals week. I suspect the rest of you have your own memories that youll take with you and forever share with the people you met during your time in Reno. We have been fortunate, my friends, but alas, the end has come. I hope everyone in the class of 08 had enough good times at the University to leave with plenty of fond memories and lifelong friendships. I know I did.

Scurry thought it was cool, but his grandfather thought it shielded his peripheral vision. He would say you cant see anything, so I went and got a new hat the very next day and left (the bill) straight, the Wolf Pack pitcher said. Now I just buy hats and put them on, never bending the bill. Scurrys grandfather said he had a friend in little league that wore a hat with the same exaggerated v-shaped bill and he was hit in the face with a baseball because he didnt see it. His
grandfather was trying to keep the same thing from happening to his grandson. The act epitomized the love Scurrys grandfather gave his grandson throughout his life. Scurrys grandparents raised him after his dad died of a cocaine-induced heart attack in 1992.

mental aspect to hitting, Sam Bias, who plays third base for Nevada, said. He helps us on our mindset before we enter the batters box. Dominique keeps a notebook that records information on each Nevada hitter, including their pitch selections. Pitch selection is huge in baseball, Dominique said. If you dont take bad pitches you arent going to get anything good to hit in your next at-bat. Dominiques knowledge of hitting has equaled success for Nevada. The Wolf Pack leads the Western Athletic Conference in bat-
ting average (.317), home runs (41) and runs batted in (264). Nevada also won the most games in school history (41) this season and leadoff hitter Noelle Micka became the Nevada single-season hits leader with 72. The Wolf Packs offense doesnt always score consistently but it has the ability to explode. Last week they showed it. Nevada scored 10 runs in the nal two innings of a game after trailing 9-0, winning 10-9 against UNLV. Dominique played most of his baseball in Triple A, but was called up as a member of the 2004 Boston Red Sox World Series Championship team. He

toughest. Scurrys father was one of several baseball players investigated in the 1980s for cocaine abuse problems. In 1985, Rod Scurry Sr. was brought before the Pittsburgh Grand Jury for his involvement in the Pittsburgh drug scandal. The players were granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for testimony before the Pittsburgh Grand Jury. Rod Scurry Sr. had entered a drug treatment facility the year before the indictments, but still was called to testify. Among other players who admitted to cocaine use were Tim Raines Sr., Keith Hernandez and Vida Blue. In 1992, Rod Scurry Sr. collapsed at his home after using cocaine and was taken to intensive care where he died. The younger Scurry mostly remembers his father through pictures and stories told by his grandfather. We were in the backyard and my grandpa was catching (my dad) at the time and he was just out there throwing, Scurry said. My dad called a curveball and my grandpa, who was 6-foot-4, jumped up and stuck his hand in the air, but it dropped so much that it hit him in the foot and he fell
over. I couldnt help but laugh at that. Scurry would spend hours playing baseball, basketball and football with his friends in his grandparents neighborhood, Gerling said. His grandfather loved baseball, but he also got his grandson involved in football. Scurry was a wide receiver at Galena High School and lettered one year in football and two in baseball. His grandmother was worried he would get hurt. I said you can get hurt walking down the street, Gerling said. I thought it would be good for him. I never believed in the spare the rod and spoil the child idea. Every now and then a boy needs a good old-fashion ass whooping, as long as its on the behind of course. Scurry was High Desert Pitcher of the Year his senior year of college under coach Gary McNamara. He was a great kid, just like he is now, McNamara, who now coaches outelders at Nevada, said. Hes always been a high energy kind of guy. Scurry displays his high energy before every game with an unorthodox pre-game ritual called the crazy dance. The dance was induced after he and Nevada catcher Travis Simas were chucker hunting in Northern Nevada. They had
walked 10 miles while hunting and were exhaustedso Scurry started dancing. Scurrys crazy dance involves a wild ailing of limp limbs, which become an extension of the seniors fun-loving personality. Scurry performed the dance again before the second game of last weekends Fresno State series. The Wolf Pack won the next three games of the series. We needed to loosen up after the first game (of the Fresno State series) and Rod did the crazy dance, Simas said. Its turning into a pregame ritual. Hunting has always been an important part of Scurrys life. When he was younger he would go hunting with his father and grandfather. My dad loved hunting and baseball, Scurry said. I have a lot of memories that me and my grandfather talk about still. Scurrys grandfather said he remembers Scurry Sr. as being a fun guy to be with, to hunt with and to play sports with. He was a hell of a guy, Gerling said. Scurry is graduating with a degree in criminal justice next week. He is very smart and very talented, Gerling said. Hes always been a step better than other kids. I think he has a chance to be a good professional pitcher.

Dominique, who holds the Nevada baseball single season home run record (30), set in 1997. Dominiques baseball career was cut short in 2004 while playing for the Toronto Blue Jays. He severed the arch of his left foot while rounding rst base
after he hit a double. It was a freak accident, Dominique said. I felt it pop while I was rounding the bases. It felt like someone shot me in the foot. Dominique lost all the muscle in his foot because of the injury. The former major league catcher has remained passionate about the art of hitting, though. He moved back to Reno started Andy Dominiques Big League Skills, a hitting instruction camp. He is Nevadas all-time record holder in home runs (62), ranked second in runs batted in (239) and second in slugging percentage (.788). I can talk about hitting all day, Dominique said. I think thats why the girls have given me so much respect. They know Ive had conversations with the greats. I knew guys like Ted Williams and I talked about hitting with those guys. Dominique said teaching hitting in softball isnt different from teaching it in baseball. I couldnt have asked for a better group of girls, he said. When I teach the girls I dont make them change their swings, I make them understand what they are doing wrong and then I allow them to make the changes they need to make. Nevada coach Michelle Gardner heard that Dominique was teaching hitting camps in town and asked him if he would like to help some of the players on her softball team. I knew he was in town leading hitting instruction camps, Gardner said. He really knows the art of hitting. He knows what it takes to be a hitter, mentally. Dominique said that making the transition to the Nevada hitting coach position wasnt difficult because he already had developed relationships with Brittany Puzey and Britton Murdock through his hitting academy.

Terri Patraw
AUGUST 29, 2007
The media received an e-mail on Aug. 29 from Nevada athletics announcing Antoinette Marjanovic was named the interim head coach for the Nevada soccer team. What happened to Terri Patraw, the coach from last year? The only mention of Patraw was that she was leaving the program after three seasons and that Director of Athletics Cary Groth wished her the best of luck in the future. Patraw didnt take the news well and led a whistle-blower complaint against the University. She didnt get hired back, but is appealing the decision. Patraw spoke up about NCAA violations, which led to an investigation and two visits by NCAA representatives. Patraw has maintained that she only wants her job back and that she deserves it after sending Nevada to its rst NCAA Tournament appearance. She received the highest-rated evaluations. Nevada ofcials said she didnt adhere to directives. The civil lawsuit has been led and along with the whistle-blower appeal, this story will continue to develop into next year and possibly longer.

Colin Kaepernick
OCTOBER 6, 2007
The redshirt freshman quarterback always knew he would get his chance to lead the Nevada football team. His chance came early. After Nick Graziano was injured in the Fresno State game Oct. 6, Kaepernick came in the second quarter and nished with four touchdowns, 384 yards passing and no interceptions. Holy crap. The fans emotions must have been near schizophrenic. Graziano, one of the most hyped quarterbacks in recent memory, goes down and the season may be in jeopardy. Kaepernick comes in and looks like Dan Marino. Kaepernick took home Freshman of the Year honors and led the Wolf Pack to its third-straight bowl game. Question now: who starts at quarterback next year?

STORYLINES
OF THE YEAR
The 2007-08 academic year brought lawsuits, a freshman phenom, dismissals, inspiration and a prodigy. From the good and the bad, this year was one of the more memorable years in recent history. JaVale McGee
MARCH 31, 2008
The 7-foot-1 Nevada center came into the season as a physically gifted prospect for Nevada. He left with the same description for the NBA March 31. McGee gave Nevada fans some of the best dunks theyve ever seen. He took his talent to the next level and entered the NBA draft. When Nevada fans saw the potential with McGee, it was easy to think about next year. Five-star recruit Luke Babbitt and McGee in the same front court. WAC Title? NCAA Tournament? National Championship? All were possibilities. After Nevada lost to Houston in the College Basketball Invitational, the discussion started. Would he stay or would he go? He went, leaving fans to wonder what could have been.
Tyrone Hanson
OCTOBER 30, 2007
In what ended as one of the saddest stories of the year, Nevada forward Tyrone Hanson was kicked off the mens FILE PHOTO basketball team after attending an off-campus Halloween party where three men were shot and killed. Hanson was dismissed Oct. 30 by the team because he was instructed not to go out that night by Nevada coaches. He was beaten up and was unconscious before the man charged with three counts of murder showed up. Hanson transferred to Arkansas-Fort Smith Community College afterward and hopes to make it back to Division-I ball.

National Prominence Nevada softball

APRIL 8, 2008
Its just a 1-0 win on the schedule. A pinch hitter, Michelle Beach, hit an RBI single up the middle and a pitcher, Katie Holverson, pitched a four-hit shutout. The win was over the No. 1-ranked team in the country, the Arizona Wildcats. Since then Nevada won eight games over ranked opponents on its way to winning its rst WAC regular season title. The Wolf Pack reached a No. 19 national ranking and is almost a lock for the NCAA Regionals. Riding a 12-game win streak (40-14, 14-2 WAC) the Wolf Pack is a No. 1 seed in the WAC Tournament. Its the only team in Nevada athletics ranked in the top 25.
