Boise State students danced in the Dance Mara-thon for 17 hours to raise funds for St. Luke’s Chil-dren’s Miracle Network. Students danced from 3 pm on Friday to 8 am on Satur-day on the gym floor of the REC Center. The executive staff of DM made a goal to raise $5000 by Saturday morning.

The Dance Marathon is a national organization in which colleges that host it can pick which Miracle Network in which to do-nate their funds. Boise State chose to donate to the local St. Luke’s Children’s Miracle Network.

The Beginning: 3 pmThe DM got off to kind of

a slow start. The REC Cen-ter seemed barren as the music started and a handful of students began to dance in the center of the gym.

Kelsey Lovell, dancer, began the night excited and fresh.

“I’m expecting there to be a lot of fun and a lot of spirit,” Lovell said. Lovell was able to raise her per-sonal goal by the time the marathon began.

Edel Serafin, dancer, also

expressed his excitement for the event.

“I’m excited, I hope I can last,” Serafin said. “I just hope that it’s fun, no judg-ments, no reservations, just fun.”

Slowly more dancers trickled on to the dance floor over the next couple of hours. As the number of people increased, so did the level of excitement.

Bryan Vlok, the external director of DM, was slightly frazzled but very enthusias-tic at the beginning of the event.

“We were suppposed to be going by three, we are a little behind schedule, hopefully we will be in full swing by four or five o’clock.

We have exceeeded my expectations with set up, now we just need the peo-ple. We’ve built it, they must come,” Vlok said.

By around five or six, nearly 300 students had shown up to dance the night away.

The middle: 11 pmAt around 11 pm, the en-

ergy was high and so was the stench of hot, sweaty bodies. DM was sitting at $3480 in online donations, their goal seemed attain-able.

Serafin admitted to his physical state of exhaustion.

“I’m a little tired, but I’m still good,” Serafin said. “I’m starting to feel it but I’m totally killin’ it out there on the floor.”

Serafin was grinning ear to ear as he explained how much fun he was having.

“I’m definitely hav-ing fun and it’s definitely meeting my expectations,” Serafin said.

United Dairy Men of Idaho provided the danc-ers with dairy products such as milk, ice cream bars and cheese. Many dancers began to lean on the tables and try to sit down as they ate their treats, Vlok teas-ingly encouraged them not to sit down.

Brittany Bright, dancer, started fresh and was still holding in there.

“I’m hanging in there pretty well, I’m as fresh as I can be right now, water and ice cream help,” Bright said.

The end: 8 amAt around 7:30 am danc-

ers looked tired but con-tent, the stench of sweat had reached an all time high, indicating the danc-ers’ hard work.

Vlok called his fellow staff members to the stage

as the event was coming to a close. He encouraged the dancers not to think about if they made their goal but rather to be proud of all they had done. Vlok began to count down from ten as his staff members revealed the amount of money raised for St. Luke’s Chil-dren’s Miracle Network.

The group chanted their countdown as the numbers were revealed, the group had raised $5036, meeting their goal.

A representative from Miracle Network walked on stage and told students that when they signed up they were given a wrist band.

“The children at St. Luke’s get a wristband too, but they don’t get to decide when they take it off. So, you can either take your band off now or leave it on as a reminder of the great work you did here today at Dance Mara-thon,” the Miracle Network employee said.

The group did one last dance in celebration and the dancers walked out with smiles on their faces, proud of what they had ac-complished.

Sophia Bernards, a DM staff member, stated how proud she was of everyone pulling through.

“It went amazingly better than we had hoped, beyond our wildest dreams,” Ber-nards said.

While she eminating with joy, it was apparent by the bags under her eyes that she was ready to go to sleep.

“I’m so exhausted. I can’t wait to go home and show-er and sleep,” Bernards said. Bernards said the rave hour around 2 am was the most difficult hour to overcome.

“We all just all of a sud-den got really tired, even the morale captains didn’t want to get up and dance,” Bernards said.

A physically and emo-tionally exhausted Bryan Vlok stammered around frantically as he began to help clean up after the event.

“Overall, it was one of the best times ever,” Vlok said. “It exceeded my expecta-tions in every way.”

Vlok was glowing with pride regarding the num-bers they were able to reveal.

“The people that showed up had such great attitude and big hearts,” Vlok said. “We asked for donations three times throughout the night and they made it happen.”

Vlok’s eyes misted over as he expressed how touched he was by these people.

“We did it. It’s amaz-ing to see people’s hearts,” Vlok said.

Boise State dances the night away

In it’s 113th playing, the Da-vis Cup came to Boise for the first time. Down the quarterfi-nals in World Group play, the United States hosted Serbia in Taco Bell Arena. Coming off a 3-2 victory over Brazil, USA would have to play near per-fect to take down a talented Serbian team, highlighted by world number one, Novak Djokovic. Play opened up with a star-studded match, pit-ting Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, against world number 23, USA’s John Isner.

Isner jumped out to an early 3-1 lead in the first set before Djokovic settled in. Djokovic took the first set in a tiebreak, 7-6 (7-5). “He gets to a lot of balls, I knew that going in,”

said Isner, “that’s why he is where he is right now.”

Djokovic cruised in the sec-ond set and showed his domi-nance as he rolled Isner 6-2. “I think after the first set he be-came a lot more comfortable,” Isner said, “he started playing really well.”

Isner fought hard to make it a match in the third set, but Djokovic was just too much as he took the set 7-5, taking the match in three sets for the first point. “Going 1-Love up in such important tie is obvi-ously huge confindence boost for all of us,” Djokovic said, “it’s always better to star with that advantage.”

In the second match for the USA, world number 20, Sam Querrey faced world number 44, Viktor Troicki.

Querrey cruised early,

jumping out to a 5-2 lead in the first set. Troicki battled back however, to force a tie-break; where Querrey rolled, 7-1. In the second set, Troicki continued his tenacious play as he jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the set, before taking it 6-3 to even the match.

Troicki jumped ahead, winning the third set 6-4; blitzing through Querrey on serve in the final game. “I felt pretty good on the court.” Troicki said, “I felt good with my shots, I was making some good shots.”

With his back to the wall, Querrey ran over Troicki in the fourth set, breaking serve three times and taking the set 6-1. “I stayed positive and kept with the game plan and played aggressive.” Querrey said.

Both players exchanged

holding serve through the fifth set until Querrey broke to take a 5-4 lead before taking the set 6-4 for the come from behind victory.

“It feels great, it feels great to help the team out, to tie it up.” said Querrey.

Saturday brought the doubles match, featuring number one doubles team in the world, twin brothers Mike and Bob Bryan taking on Nenad Zimonjic and Ilija Bozoljac. Serbia came out fir-ing, with Bozoljac, ranked 338 in the world, playing the best tennis of his life, as the Ser-bians took the first two sets in tiebreakers 7-6 (7-5), and 7-6 (7-1).

“I knew that if I gave my 100 percent for one match, I can play on a really high level and I can match up with this good

players.” Bozoljac said.The Bryans buckled down

in the next two sets, taking the third 7-5 and the fourth, 6-4.

“We always believed we could win the match.” Bob Bryan said.

Drama ruled the fifth set as the match became just the second doubles match in his-tory to last more than four hours and longest in terms of games played, with 76 games.

Both teams held serve over the first 26 games of the set before Serbia broke to take a 14-13 lead. That would turn the match as Serbia took the following game to take the set 15-13 and the match 3-2 to give Serbia a crucial 2-1 lead heading into Sunday’s matches with Sam Querrey in a must win match against No-vak Djokovic.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic (SRB) celebrates after defeating John Isner (USA) during the opening matches in the Taco Bell Arena.

Biologist’s Research holds prom-ise for fighting cancerous tumors

Boise State biology professor Allan Albig is working in a relative-ly new area that exam-ines the interactions between the body’s cells and connective tissues that surround them. Unraveling their mysteries could hold promise for slowing or stopping the growth of cancerous tumors.

Albig received a $300,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health for his bio-molecular research. A major goal of the work

done in his lab is to dis-cover and characterize extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and other proteins that positively or negatively impact angiogenesis, the physiological pro-cess through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels.

Angiogenesis is a normal and vital process in growth and development, as well as in wound healing. However, it is also a fundamen-

tal step in the transi-tion of tumors from a dormant state to a malignant one.

Discovering how these molecules in-teract with cells could lead to the treatment of diseases associated with excessive or in-sufficient angiogen-esis, such as cancer, vascular diseases, obe-sity and even baldness.

Albig is working with graduate student Arpita Malik and three undergraduates on his three-year project.

Grant to increase num-ber of teachers of STEM

Boise State, Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and several partner school dis-tricts across Idaho have been awarded a $1.125 million grant over three years to in-crease the number of highly qualified teach-ers of science, tech-nology, engineering and math (STEM) in the state.

The grant provides $375,000 a year to support summer institutes in STEM teaching and learning for K-12 teachers at five locations across the state. The U.S. Department of Edu-cation’s Mathematics and Science Partner-ships program award-ed the grant through

the Idaho State De-partment of Educa-tion (ISDE).

Courses called “strands” are the pri-mary focus of the three- or four-day in-tensive institutes. In the strands, about 15 teachers explore in-depth STEM-related content such as min-ing, energy, nutrition and robotics.

In addition, they learn how to integrate technology into their instruction, interact with regional and na-tionally recognized ex-perts, plan in teams for using what they learn in their classrooms, and network with each other to learn more about best practices in teaching STEM.

Scholarships for Pow-er of One Conference

Scholarships are available for Boise State students in-terested in attend-ing the Power of One 2013: Becom-ing Inclusive Lead-ers conference April 26 to 28 in the SUB. Scholar-ships cover the $65 registration fee for students. Registra-tion includes ca-tered meals during the conference and all conference ses-sions and perfor-mances. Download an application at womenscenter.boi-sestate.edu. Appli-cations are due by

Friday, April 12.This year’s con-

ference will feature a variety of fun, engaging activi-ties, workshop ses-sions and perfor-mances. Highlights include a staged reading of the play “8” by Dustin Lance Black, a performance by Migueltzinta So-lis, a screening of the documentary “Switch” and dis-cussion with the filmmaker Brooks Nelson, and a key-note address by Idaho Sen. Cherie Buckner-Webb.

Video documents lives of area LatinosThe documentary

video “Latino Com-munity in Treasure Valley, Idaho,” which Boise State students helped to produce, will premier at 5:45 p.m. April 22 at Wash-ington Group Plaza Auditorium, 720 Park Blvd., Boise.

Bilingual education and communication students collaborated

last summer to pro-duce the first docu-mentary video on the lives of area Latinos.

“The purpose of the 50-minute documen-tary is to give voice to those who helped build this community,” said Claudia Peralta., chair of the Depart-ment of Bilingual Education. The video also sought to include

a younger generation of Latino students who continue to con-tribute to the life and economy of Idaho. The students were part of the interdisciplinary course, “Documenta-ry Production: Inter-viewing Refugees and Immigrants,” offered by the departments of Bilingual Education and Communication.

One million white clay bones will be laid on the National Mall in Washing-ton D.C. in am art installa-tion, from June 8 through 10.

Among the hundreds of thousands of bones will be my bone, a basic approxi-mation of a leg bone crafted by my own unskilled hands. My bone will lie with others to create a mass grave, rep-resentative of the millions of people who have died in modern-day genocides.

For the last three years, the One Million Bones project has worked with students to raise awareness of genocide and involve ordinary people in the creation of art.

On Thursday evening,

public relations students hosted a One Million Bones event as part of service learning for Communica-tion 482. The event took place at Boise State’s Center on Main during downtown Boise’s First Thursday, giv-ing people the opportunity to contribute to the project.

“We were focused on the event as an awareness event,” said Christina Hein-ert, senior Communica-tions major and PR student. “We thought First Thursday was a good avenue because it (draws) people from the community who are inter-ested in the city and inter-ested in art already.”

Individuals were invited to come in to the center, learn about the project and create a bone of their own to help reach the goal of one million. Many people there

were like me, having little prior knowledge about the atrocities of genocide and lacking artistic ability.

“When you say genocide, people are like, ‘World War Two? Hitler?’ No. Still to-day, happening now,” said Jamie Lish, coordinator for the One Million Bones project in the state of Idaho.

One Million Bones was created by Naomi Natale, an artist and activist whose experiences in Africa drove her to create the project as a way to produce a poignant art installation while edu-cating and raising aware-ness along the way.

Beginning in Natale’s home state of New Mexico, the project has expanded across the United States and the world.

Lish, a Boise State alum-nus, was selected as Idaho’s

coordinator just last sum-mer. Her ties to Boise State have been integral in help-ing to accomplish the proj-ect’s goals, both through the service learning depart-ment and Service Saturday events.

“(The students) are awe-some,” Lish said. “I’m not even kidding you, we could not have been this success-ful without BSU.”

Because Idaho was rela-tively late in joining the project, Lish was given a quota of only 7,000 bones to fill. Idaho has now con-tributed over 25,000 bones. The First Thursday event proved that the project is still going strong.

“(The event) was sup-posed to start at 6 p.m. but people started coming in at 5:30 and we made about 25 bones in the first 30 minutes of not even being officially open,” said Kodie Stan-ley, junior PR student and communication major.

For each bone made, $1 is donated to organiza-

tions such as CARE USA and Students Rebuild to help assist those affected by genocide and violence. For Lish, the art makes the message all the more powerful.

“You can talk to people until you’re blue in the face and sometimes they get it and sometimes they don’t,” Lish said. “When you use your hands and you make something into art, and you display it for people to see it’s really a visual petition to get people’s attention.”

Looking forward to the final stop in Washington D.C., Lish expressed amaze-ment at the journey the project has taken. The PR students were also proud of their successful event.

“When we see the pic-tures of it, it’s going to be re-ally fulfilling for me because I was a part of something that’s possibly going to help the world,” Stanley said. “It’s been a lot of hard work and we’re happy to see it finally pay off.”

Red Circle presses art Courtesy Devin Ferrell

The Public Affairs and Arts West building is an anachro-nism of a developing urban university. It is more akin to a grade school than college campus: lockers line the hall-ways —double stacked to ac-commodate a mass of teenag-ers rather than the adults that use the building. The class-rooms look like art rooms with long desks, high stools and paper everywhere. The most noticeable piece in the building is yet another anach-ronism: the printing press. It is here that Karl Leclair and the Red Circle Press create their artwork.

The Red Circle Press has been on campus since 2005. It is a club of about eight ac-tive members and four of-ficers. “The Red Circle Press is Boise States printmaking

club. Our mission is to pro-mote awareness for print-making in general within the Boise State community and Boise’s art community,” said Karl Leclair, President of the Red Circle Press. “Make it recognized as a viable form of fine art, a lot of times people don’t think of printmaking as a fine art.”

The modern printing press was invented in 1440, in what is now Germany, by Johannes Gutenberg. Since its incep-tion it has been recreated and evolved into contemporary presses used today to print newspapers, bibles, textbooks and magazines. The Red Circle Press seeks to promote awareness of the press as a tool for creating art.

To create art, members like Leclair create stencils on wood placing them on the press. Ink will outline the stencil on the

wood. It requires a delicate touch as Leclair adjusts the wheels that will increase or reduce the pressure applied to wood piece. With the right touch—and after several tri-als and errors—the print is completed.

“My favorite part of Red Circle Press is being part of a community of like-minded artists to practice and pro-mote what we love to do, printmaking. I enjoy the ca-maraderie, the exchange of ideas, and the participation in the broader art community, as well as attending events and having shows,” Leclair said in an email.

Leclair will present his presses for the fine arts pro-gram April 12 at the Liberal Arts Building. May 2 the club will present the artwork of its members at the Modern Art Show at the Modern Hotel.

Metal is on display in the Student Union Building. The Arts and Metal Club presented their exhibition ‘Catalyst’ on April 4. The reception took place in the Student Union Fine Arts Gallery.

The gallery was filled with pieces of fine art created from various mediums. Copper, silver, resin, embroidery, glass, silk, pearls and even tampons were selected by the artists to create their works of art. Along with the art, the gallery was filled with many artists, stu-dents and even non-student at-tendees who came to view the works of art provided by the Arts and Metals Club.

Many artists attended the event and were able to share their past experiences with metal arts. One artist at the event was Everett Hoffman, a senior working toward his Bachelor of Fine Arts with an Art Metals emphasis. Hoff-man was very excited about his piece “Cream” which was displayed at the reception and also selected for the front of the Catalyst post card that was mailed out to the public. Hoff-man started his metals experi-ence with an intro class and “loved it.”

“Metal art can be very te-dious and frustrating at times,

so I think most people either love it or hate it,” Hoffman said.

His piece “Cream” alone took 40 to 50 hours of work, in the span of roughly two weeks.

Peter Kurst was another art-

ist who attended the reception for the Catalyst display. His experience with metals began with custom automotive work where he discovered how much he loved working with

the medium.Kurst explained he has

moved and traveled all across the country, but his favorite place to live is Alaska. This is definitely shown through

his favorite piece “Survival,” which took him 70 hours to complete.

The piece was very com-plex with copper, silver and elk teeth all used to create this

work of art. Kurst explained it is actually designed to be worn as a choker, which is an element most may not know about the piece from simply viewing it.

Fabric is only one of the many things tying the Emeri-tus Guild to Boise State cam-pus. On Thursday, April 4, members of the Emeritus Guild held their Fabric Art Show in the Emeritus Guild

Center, located directly behind Quiznos.

The Emeritus Guild, consist-ing of designated Boise State employees, who currently are retired, remains a very active part of campus. Although it is centrally located at Boise State, it functions as a whole separate entity from the university, re-

leasing their own newsletter, calendar of events and even endorsing the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

In addition to their meet-ings, parties, lecture and speak-er series, they continue to dis-play their art in various forms. In January, they displayed Fiber Arts. This April, it was

Guild exhibited their personal fabric arts. The designs ranged from quilts to crochet to em-broidery. In the array of de-signs, there were floral prints, bright fabrics, lace weavings and also rustic fall textiles.

Carol Fountain, a former

instructor of nursing at Boise State, said, “Eight Degrees here and now we’re sewing.”

Janet Davis, a former librar-ian at Boise State, chimed in, “And croqueting and quilting.”

The Emeritus Guild Cen-ter is comprised of two floors, currently decorated with the Guild’s creative endeavors,

from the entry way to the path-way upstairs to the office in the corner beside the kitchen nook. However, most of the artists congregated together near the hors d’oeuvres, con-versing amongst themselves.

The art show remains ongo-ing, with different themes dur-ing each exhibition. Informa-tion concerning the Emeritus Guild can be found at emeri-tusguild.boisestate.edu.

The Student Union Build-ing (SUB) was checkered with various people as the seven members of Soul Patch started to play on Fri-day afternoon as part of the Student Union Performance Series (SUPS).

The scene was that of peo-ple eating, studying and oth-ers jamming to the sounds of tunes being amplified through the usually calm seating area.

The place livened up quick-ly as people applauded and scrambled around to find the best seating, which included some students scurrying to quieter areas for studying.

Katelyn Watson, geosci-

ences major, was among the actual studiers trying to find peace and quiet.

“It was alright, (but) I was trying to get work done. It’s fine but I was just going to head out to a quieter spot. It’s probably fun for a lot of people though,” Watson said.

Although some people were admittedly a little both-ered by the sound level, oth-ers seemed to enjoy it and congregated specifically for that reason.

The SUB seating area re-mained full of life and full of upbeat sounds until the band played their last set, a song by the Eagles, which allowed the audience to slowly dis-sipate throughout the rest of the building.

When headliners Blaze

and Kelly finally took the stage, the room was fairly cleared out.

The place was once again quiet as the two women started to play with a some-what Simon and Garfunkel-type of feel. Their first song was announced as an original by the two women which seemed to mesmerize the remaining crowds.

Although this duo never at-tracted the full house like the first band, when they broke into their rendition of “Over The Rainbow,” the energy from the small crowd was incredible and people walk-ing past in the hallway started to transition their steps into dance moves which went along with the music.

One student who came in

late listened intently as he sat by himself and watched Blaze and Kelly play. Mitchell Mac-ulley, respiratory care major, didn’t know anything was planned but happened to be walking by.

“I liked their cover of Leon-

ard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” it was really good,” Maculley said. “I liked her bass work, it’s a five-stringed fretless bass and it’s really difficult to play so I really appreciated that she was good at it.”

Ending with two more

original songs, it was a perfect end to a beautiful afternoon on campus.

“I’m glad that Boise State’s doing this; it’s really awe-some,” Maculley said. “I never saw this last year so I’m glad that this is happening.”

Can chalk go on the wall of the REC center? Recre-ation Services sure thinks it can.

Lisa Stuppy, director of Recreation Services, said the current artwork is fad-ing and it is ready for some-thing new, hence the Chalk Art Contest.

Stuppy said last year one of their staff members chalked the wall, and after they posted it on Facebook and saw the huge response to the art, they decided to try and make it a recurring theme.

This will be their pilot contest to see how much interest they gain.

If it’s a hit, they could po-tentially repeat this contest about every six months.

“I kind of came up with the idea of ‘what if we opened it up to all students,’” Stuppy said. “Where they could sub-

mit a drawing and they could then chalk on one of the blocks of concrete, if you look at that wall they’re sort of sectioned off by concrete blocks, so it would be really easy to divide it into 10 or 11 (sections) that folks could chalk on.”

She said she likened it to Freak Alley in down-town Boise (the alley that runs from Eighth to Ninth streets in between Idaho and Bannock streets).

“I thought it would be a unique way to highlight some of our students’ art on campus,” Stuppy said. “And give them another avenue to express them-selves.”

The deadline for submis-sion is 5 p. m. April 12. No-tifications for selected art-ists will be April 17, with the actual art applications happening April 20 to 25. Online voting will also take place enabling winners to be announced on May 13.

And yes, there will be prizes. First Place: $50 Bronco Bucks and a 1-hour Massage, Second Place: $25 Bronco Bucks and

Third Place: $10 Bronco Bucks.Stuppy also listed off what they’re looking for from their applicants.

“We want the art to re-

flect recreation, or out-doors, or activity or things like that,” Stuppy said. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be of people participat-

ing, it can be more abstract of something outdoors, or motion.”For further in-formation visit the Rec’s website.

The sound of a trumpet pierced the air of the audi-torium, grabbing the au-dience’s attention. As the playing continued, a man appeared from the side of the stage. He gradually, yet tastefully, walked out, whaling on the brass in-strument.

As the playing comes to an end, he sets down his trumpet and walks to the microphone.

Ron McCurdy is his name. He is the director of and also a participant in the performance. Mc-Curdy began by giving a quick introduction for the presentation.

“If Langston Hughes was still alive today, he would be a rapper, but a clean rapper; no Little Wayne,” McCurdy said.

On Friday night, the Langston Hughes Proj-ect: “Ask Your Mama, 12 Moods for Jazz” came to the Special Events Center.

“What Professor Mc-Curdy and the Langston Hughes Project does is

add feeling and emo-tion to Langston Hughes’ works through the use of Jazz,” said Logan Kinney, a junior majoring in health science and also one of the three students who helped organize this event. “Emo-tions that are difficult to understand without hav-ing access to the multime-dia platform that we will be using for this presenta-tion.”

“Ask Your Mama” is a multimedia performance of Langston Hughes’ 12-part poem “Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz” with musical accompani-ment. It is performed by a jazz quartet, including McCurdy as one of the performers. The quartet consisted of a pianist, up-right bassist, percussion-ist and McCurdy on the trumpet.

After the introduction, the presentation began.

As McCurdy read, and even sang the poem at times, the band played a variety of different kinds of jazz, which were guided by “musical cues” in the poem. McCurdy said that

these musical cues were not written in the origi-nal poem, but rather were interpreted through the words which Hughes used.

There were multiple op-portunities for audience participation in which crowd members were en-couraged to participate in singing, clapping and snapping.

The multimedia part of the performance featured numerous pictures and clips which related to the text being read. McCurdy said the video was added to help keep the audience engaged.

During the perfor-mance, there were mul-tiple breaks from the reading in which one of the musicians was able to solo. Each performer got at least one chance to have the spotlight.

Throughout the night the band seemed to feed off of the crowd’s energy. This connection only grew as the performance pro-gressed.

When discussing the purpose of the event, Kin-ney said it is more than

just about entertainment and they want it to be a “culturally enlightening experience” for audience members.

“The purpose of the

event is really to help peo-ple understand the emo-tions that not only Langs-ton Hughes felt when writing his poetry but the emotions that the African

American culture felt dur-ing the 60s,” Kinney said.

The performance closed with a final musical inter-lude and a standing ova-tion from the crowd.

The Beat Coach Pete Scholarship Run/Walk is this Saturday.

While beating Pete is the primary goal of par-

ticipants, it isn’t the only way to win. Participants can also win prizes for having the best costume at the race.

Previous years have proven costumes are an essential part of the at-

mosphere of the Beat Pete run, with spectacles rang-ing from simple capes to banana costumes and smurf outfits.

Participants wishing to be a part of the costume contest must answer “yes”

to the costume question on the registration form and stop by the costume booth before the race to register and get a pho-to taken. Prizes will be awarded to the top three costumes.

Early registration is closed for the race, but there’s still time to sign up. The cost is now $20 for students and $30 for non-students. Registration continues to the morning

of race day, as long as the maximum registration of 2,000 runners and 1,500 walkers isn’t reached be-forehand. Registration can be done online or at the recreation center.

Packet pick-up begins Friday, from 4-8 p.m. and will also be open Saturday morning before the race. Proceeds from the race go to the general scholarship fund, which up to date has raised $138,000.

Cars are quick and convenient. Cars are also expensive. The costs associated with driving a car go beyond the price of gas and insur-ance. There are also costs to the environment and personal health. In today’s fast-paced culture it can be hard to find time to get exer-cise. It’s easier to use a car instead of a bike or your feet. While quick errands are often made quicker through the convenience of a car, saving time can have negative ef-fects.

According to Central District Health Department (CDHD), around 80 percent of all errands are performed within three miles of home or work, with 60 per-cent conducted within one mile. CDHD also claims that cars are less efficient and create more pol-lution per mile during shorter trips as opposed to longer ones. The speed and convenience of cars can be a problem in relation to increas-ing obesity rates as well. Adults are supposed to get at least 30 minutes of exercise each day, but they’re not. According to the Centers for Disease Control, Idaho’s obesity rates have roughly doubled in the last twenty years, rising from 10 to14 percent in 1990 to between 25 and 29 percent in 2010. These are problems that Central District Health seeks solutions to. And they’ve found one in a thing called

bicycle share. “It’s the wave of the future,” CDHD spokesperson Dave Fotsch said.

Bicycle share programs have been popping up in metropoli-tan areas all over the country in the last few years. San Francisco, Boulder, Denver, Madison, Mi-ami, Buffalo and Washington D.C. are among them. New York City and Seattle both have plans in the works. These programs operate similarly to Zip Car, in which cars are avail-able at certain locations for short-term use and a pay scale is devised based on how much time the vehicle is utilized. Bicycle share programs provide similar fast access to trans-portation, but add the ben-efits of zero carbon emissions and exercise for the user. They are cheap, efficient, healthy and envi-ronmentally friendly. This is why Boise, due to its size and population, is prime for es-tablishing a bike share program of its own. And members of the Boise State commu-nity have been active in getting it started.

BeginningFotsch first pushed the idea a couple

years ago. “It was an idea that I pitched to my director… because I started seeing a bunch of stories about these things in the news,” he said. It seemed like a good idea to him because “it achieves some of the things,” Fotsch explained, “that we are trying to accomplish in the commu-nity.” He described cycling as “a form of active transportation… instead of getting in a car, people are getting on a bike and they’re moving.” In addition to exercise, he included improving air quality and reducing traffic congestion downtown as parts of CDHD’s strategic plan to make “that part of the city more livable.” He explained how studies have shown that a variety of transportation options cor-responds to a city’s livability.

After pitching the idea to his direc-tor, Fotsch was given the opportunity to work with CDHD’s grant writer, Hil-ary Flint Wagner. Together, they began meeting with potential stakeholders, “trying to gauge the interest of these dif-ferent groups in getting involved in this,” Fotsch said. This is how their partnership with Boise State University’s Parking and Transportation Department began.

And then there wAs Boise stAte

“Central District Health came to us because they had zero bike shop ex-perience,” JC Porter said. “They didn’t know how much it would cost to keep a bike up and going… so we were help-ing them walk through that… that’s how we got started on the process.”

JC Porter, as assistant director of Parking and Transportation services, oversees the campus Cycle Learning Center. He takes bicycle transporta-tion seriously. “I try to ride my bike every day,” he said. “Last year I did bet-ter, there was only like three days that I didn’t ride the whole year. This year, with the snow and ice, there was like two weeks that I couldn’t ride, so I was pretty bummed.”

Beyond being an advocate for bi-cycle transportation, Porter says the bike share program is “a good thing for Boise State… It’s just about transpor-tation options, giving people access to campus and off-campus.”

The Boise State campus was rec-ognized early on as a priority area for the program, thus, CDHD asked Boise State’s Department of Regional and Community Planning to develop a ser-vice area map. According to CDHD’s business plan, graduate students and faculty in the department used data provided by Southwest Idaho’s Com-munity Planning Association (COM-PASS), Ada County Highway District (ACHD) and the City of Boise to create a “heat map.” The information utilized included, “residential and employment densities, transit routes, bike lanes and paths, and attractions, such as libraries, restaurants, sports arenas, shops and the Boise State campus itself.”

The heat map is “a guide to where the researchers believe it makes the most sense to locate bike stations. Those ar-eas in red hold the most promise, with the areas of cooler colors holding the least.” The study found the bulk of the downtown area and Boise State campus to be “the best locations for bike share,” according to Fotsch. As a result of this study, CDHD found it best to launch with 14 bike stations and 140 bikes. According to a BBSP business plan, the cost for these stations and bikes are es-timated at $650,000.

The business plan for the Boise Bicycle Share Program (BBSP) was drafted last year as planners applied for Federal grant money. They were denied any funding last year, but have had much more luck this year. The COMPASS board, which is made up of various agencies throughout the treasure valley, recommends how to distribute Federal funds allocated to the State of Idaho for development projects. CDHD had the opportuni-ty, according to Fotsch, to apply this year through two different programs, the Transportation Alternatives Pro-gram and the Surface Transportation Program. BBSP was chosen to receive $287,000 this fiscal year and $53,000 next fiscal year through the Trans-portation Alternatives Program. Fur-thermore, Fotsch said that BBSP was “also recommended under the Surface Transportation Program for the re-mainder of the money, $326,000, at some point in the future, no later than 2018.”

This might sound discouraging for those who want to see the program implemented much sooner, but Fotsch explained how, “there sometimes are programs and projects that don’t get completed or don’t ever get started, so at the end of each fiscal year, there are leftover funds.” BBSP is number one on the list of programs recommended for funding through the Surface Trans-portation Program, which means they have a good shot at applying for and acquiring year-end funding. Another advantage is that they are only hoping for a little over $300,000, whereas oth-er recommended programs are asking for funds ranging from $595,000 to $9,486,000.

“Because this is a relatively small project,” Fotsch explained, “asking for $326,000 as opposed to a nine-and-a-half million dollar road project for ACHD, our chances of getting year-end funding this year or the next… are extremely good.” CDHD, Boise State University Parking and Trans-portation Services and the City of Boise have also already committed to funding the project, pledging $44,000, $10,000 and $64,000, respectively.

BBSP still has a lot of other kinks to settle besides funding, but acquiring the funding was an important first step.

“We don’t want to sell a product we don’t have,” Porter said. As of now, BBSP’s steering committee--made up of representatives from Boise State Parking and Transportation, City of Boise, Boise Parks Department, Capital City Devel-opment, Boise Bicycle Project and Valley Regional Transit—has sent out a request for qualifications. Fotsch explained that, while they want BBSP to be a non-profit organization, they are hoping to contract the daily operations to an entrepreneurial entity, possibly an advertising agency.

Fotsch explains their organizational goals as such, “Once we get the money, the assets will actually belong to Valley Regional Transit… for insurance pur-poses… The reason we chose this dual identity is that a non-profit can apply for some grants that a transportation agency like [VRT] cannot and vice-versa. Plus, VRT has experience administering Fed-eral grants… The third layer… is that we are looking for a private company to actu-ally operate the system.”

An advertising company would be ideal because advertising revenues are likely to be the best source of revenue for the program. Advertising can be placed on the bicycles and at the stations. Both Porter and Fotsch stated that, based on statistics from other bike share programs around the country, revenue from us-age of the program is likely to cover only about a third of operating costs.

The private company would handle the selling of advertising, sponsorships, and memberships, as well as the basic, daily, operational costs and tasks necessary to keep the system going. These tasks would include maintenance of kiosks, stations and the bicycles themselves, as well as rotating bikes from over-crowded sta-tions to less crowded ones. The request for qualifications, according to Porter, will hopefully attract groups who will re-spond with business proposals and then BBSP’s steering committee can choose what fits the best with the program’s goals. The goal, according to Porter, is to have a self-supported system that can eventually grow into other areas of the treasure valley.

Beyond funding issues

the future is BrightIf everything goes

well, BBSP could launch as early as next spring, according to Fotsch. But there’s no telling what will hap-pen after that. Other cities with similar programs haven’t gathered much infor-

mation on the best ways to organize and implement a system, according to Fotsch.

Besides, most cities that have implement-ed similar systems are much bigger than Boise, so, as Porter stated, “One model

doesn’t necessar-ily work across all the different areas.” One of BBSP’s hopes is to compile aggregate statistics collected by GPS tracking systems on the bikes to make a kind of “manual” to help other cities

develop their own programs. But those involved in planning still have a long way ahead of them. Por-ter said. “There’s lots of options and we’re trying to exhaust all the options to get a program up and run-

ning in Boise as soon as possible.”

Whatever occurs, it’s clear that in a city like Boise where, ar-guably, there are not enough transporta-tion options, this is a step (or pedal) in the right direction.

With the weather not coop-erating Saturday morning the Broncos’ men’s tennis team was unable to overcome the weather and the 41st ranked Cougars.

The day got off to a stormy start when the match was moved from the Appleton

courts, into the Boas indoor Tennis Complex, after a sub-stantial rain delay. The match was set to start at 9:30 a.m. but due to the rain delay didn’t be-gin until shortly after mid-day.

Once the day began it seemed as if the delay affected the Broncos at all. “We couldn’t give them the advantage, we had to make sure we kept our focus,” said sophomore Garret

Patton. Patton went on to add “we just wanted to keep rip-ping the ball, the worse we beat them the better.”

Rip the ball is exactly what Patton and redshirt senior Scott Sears did. The duo easily defeating the Cougars’ Travis Fillmore and Spencer Smith. When facing the BYU the Broncos’ have extra motiva-tion to perform well. When the two teams face off it is a “grudge match and it’s a rival-ry,” Sears said.

Freshman Toby Mitch-ell and redshirt sophomore Aidan Reid playing on court three helped clinch the dou-bles point winning (8-5) over

Keaton Cullimore and John Pearce, the duo is now win-ners of three straight. Before the Broncos’ aces were able to even complete their match, they already had the upper hand winning the doubles matches point.

Once the other matches concluded junior Andy Bettles and junior Nathan Sereke went unfinished against Patrick Kawka and Francis with the doubles point secure. Bettles/Sereke were ahead being called (5-4).

Sereke’s singles match fin-ished first getting the ball rolling for the Broncos’ with an early victory over Spencer

Smith (6-2, 6-3.)Bettles faced off against

Kawka but was unable to pro-duce the same results as Ser-eke. No. 45 Kawka dropped No. 29 Bettles in straight sets 7-5, and 6-1. The loss snaps Bettle’s win streak and it’s also his first loss since suffering de-feat Feb. 23.

Freshman Thomas Teneiro had an impressive showing defeating John Pearce (6-4, 6-3.) When asked about how the delay would affect his play Teneiro responded by say-ing “you’re cold and warm up again and it’s a different surface.”

Unfortunately, the singles

wins by Teneiro and Sereke were not enough for the Bron-cos’ to take the match. The Cougars got contributions from some of their other play-ers; Francis Sargeant defeated Sears (6-2, 2-6, 6-2.) Keaton Cullimore (BYU) was able to upend senior Fillipp Pogost-kin in three sets (4-6, 6-2, 6-3.) The Cougar’s rounded out their singles victories with Andrey Goryachkov defeating Garrett Patton (6-4, 6-3.)

“Before the match I think about it a little, during the match I think about winning,” said Teneiro. Teneiro added that thinking about it during a match is “more pressure.”

Playing in the hot Albu-querque sun, the Boise State softball team dropped two games this past weekend against the University of New Mexico. Both games were only a loss of one run with the first game ending 7-6 and the second 6-5.

In the beginning game on Friday with New Mexico, both teams remained score-less proving the defensive strength of both teams. In the

top of the fourth, Boise State began to push the lead to three runs to gain a slightly comfort-able lead against New Mexico.

However, the Broncos struggled in the bottom of the fifth when the Lobos bat-ted in five runs pulling ahead the lead 5-3. Redshirt se-nior pitcher Rebecca Patton walked the first batter which eventually lead to the Bron-cos allowing three runners to score. Senior pitcher Lela Work relieved Patton and ended the inning with two strike-outs while allowing and

additional two runs from the Lobos.

New Mexico extended their lead to 6-3 with one run for three hits in the bottom of the sixth. But, the Broncos wouldn’t go down without a fight as they pushed in three more runs with aggressive base running by junior out-fielder Tara Glover. At the end of the 7th, the Broncos were tied at 6-6 in a close battle.

Despite the attempt by the Broncos for a comeback, the Lobos homered to right field to end the game at 7-6 in the

bottom of the seventh inning.On Saturday night, New

Mexico hit the scoreboard first running in three runs for three hits in the bottom of the second on two errors. The Lo-bos kept hitting with power, running in three more runs off of four hits in the bottom of the 3rd inning. Yet, they re-mained scoreless against the Bronco defense for the rest of the game.

Boise State’s offense soon followed their defensive power and made another seri-ous comeback running in five runs off three hits. Junior out-fielder/first basemen Devon Bridges’ hit a homerun bring-ing in two runs for the blue and orange.

Yet, the Lobos’ last in-ning defense proved to be too much and the Broncos lost 6-5.

Boise State will continue their play on Friday, April 12th when they travel to

Fresno, CA. to compete against Fresno State at 7 p.m. Broncos fall to New

This past Thursday, Boise State Athletics announced that J.W. Hardy, Boise State Track and Field coach, had been fired.Hardy’s firing comes as a shock to some after the success of his coaching in his 4 seasons at Boise State; 2010 WAC Cross-Country championship and 2011 WAC Indoor Track and Field Championship. While Boise State Athletics have not given out specifics on exactly why Hardy was fired, Hardy has assumed the innocent role in the matter. “Usually the assumption is if you get fired, you’ve done something wrong, but I stand with a clear conscience” said Hardy. Although Hardy will not remain with the team, he will still be paid till the end of his contract on June 30th.
