It’s been a recent rough patch for the Broncos start-ing in Mountain West play, kicking it off with New Mex-ico Wednesday night at Taco Bell Arena

New Mexico junior guard Tony Snell, a 2009 graduate of King High School in Riv-erside, Calif., played like roy-alty Wednesday night. Snell scored 22 points leading No. 19 New Mexico to a 79-74 overtime victory over Boise State. Sophomore guard Hugh Greenwood added 15 points, including a game-tying bucket under one min-ute remaining in regulation, while also bringing down seven rebounds.

Junior guard Kendall Wil-liams scored 11 points and dished out a game-high six

assists, as the Lobos (16-2, 3-0 MWC) picked up their third straight victory.

The loss snaps Boise States’ (13-4, 1-2 MWC) seven-game win streak and is the Broncos’ first home loss of the season. Sopho-more guard Derrick Marks, led all scorers with 27 points on 10-of-20 shooting. Junior forward Ryan Watkins had a double-double scoring 12 points and corralling ten rebounds.

The game featured eight lead changes in the first half. Mountain West conference player of the week, redshirt sophomore center Alex Kirk was contained to only two points in the first half and was forced to sit for most of the second after picking up his third foul with 18:52 remaining.

The Lobos fought through

Kirks’ absence and even had a chance to take a one-point lead into halftime, but Snell only made one free-throw attempt and the teams re-mained tied 37-37 after 20 minutes.

“Every time we play we know its going to be a bat-tle,” Watkins said. “We have to execute down the stretch. We expect to win.”

Boise State took the lead late in the second half off back-to-back baskets from sophomore guard Anthony Drmic, but a Williams la-yup with 1:37 left gave the Lobos a 61-60 edge. Marks answered with a 3-point dagger, giving the Broncos a two-point lead.

Greenwood came up with a huge basket and tied the game at 63 with 55 seconds left. Both Marks and Wil-liams would ultimately get

a chance to knock down a jumper for the win, but both missed on contested 10 to 12 footers and the game went into overtime.

“Greenwood is a great player,” Drimic said. “He stepped up and made some big plays.”

Watkins fouled out with 3:32 to go in overtime and the Lobos made the most of the opportunity. Im-mediately getting the ball down in the post to Kirk. The Broncos were unable to deal with his size and fouled him twice sending him to the free throw line where he was perfect all night, shoot-ing eight for eight. This pro-pelled an early 8-3 run for New Mexico, capped off by a Snell baseline jumper with 2:28 left in extra time which made it 71-66.

The Broncos closed the

gap to 74-71 after freshman guard Mikey Thompson made two free throws. Soph-omore guard Igor Hadzi-omerovic stole the inbound pass and found Drmic open for three. As it clanged off the iron and New Mexico came up with the rebound. The Lobos made their free throws and secure the win 79-74.

Boise State then fell short to Air Force on the road, 91-80. Watkins led the Broncos with 24 points and 13 re-bounds, yet the Bronco de-fense could not handle the Falcons’ hot shooting.

The Broncos will look to regain their momentum at home against Fresno State this Wednesday, and as Head Coach Leon Rice said: “This league is about the teams that can recover the quickest.”

As the temperature drops, so does the number of bicy-clists on campus. However, for students living on or nearby campus, riding a bike to school may simply be the only option and bicyclists should be aware of the increased hazards.

Boise Police Department (BPD) reported there were six motorist/cyclist collisions near campus in 2010, six in 2011 and approximately four in 2012, though the data is in-complete for 2012. One of the accidents in 2012 resulted in the bicyclist being taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Lieutenant Tony Plott from the BPD said these accidents often occur because of inat-tentiveness and ignorance re-garding the proper protocols. Plott encourages students to increase their awareness.

“It’s good to brush up on the

laws. Be aware and make sure your bicycle is lit at night, and simply don’t take unnecessary risks,” Plott said. “Generally slow down around campus. I think that is what hurts people more than anything.”

Plott advised motorists to increase their awareness as well.

“It’s a college campus. There are going to be bikers around and there are going to be bik-ers going too fast,” Plott said. “A biker-motorist collision never ends well for the bicyclist, even if they are wearing a helmet and safety equipment.”

Philip Hobbs, an environ-mental and occupational health major and bike me-chanic for the Cycle Learning Center, said he feels as though the bike accidents will decrease due to the cold weather, but said there were numerous inci-dents during the summer and beginning of the semester due to sheer volume of bicyclists.

Hobbs suggested cyclists ride defensively.

“People should ride within their abilities and in such a way that is appropriate with where they are riding. Don’t ride against traffic or on the sidewalk in a high speed espe-cially with a lot of pedestrians around,” Hobbs said. “People should be more consider-ate and aware of multimodal users.”

Plott and Hobbs both en-couraged bicyclists to avoid riding with headphones and slow down through campus.

Kaili Smalley, a 19-year-old sophomore majoring in pre-dental and biology, described an experience when a motorist did not see her while she was in a crosswalk and bumped her backpack with his or her car.

“Bicycle and pedestrian safe-ty is terrible on campus,” Smal-ley said. “Something needs to change and we need to raise awareness.”

University Drive parking restrictionsBoise City and the

Ada County Highway District have imple-mented parking re-strictions on portions of University Drive in an effort to improve pedestrian safety and provide access for charter buses and de-liveries to the Student Union Building.

Commercial load-ing and unloading zones are now in place on the north side of University Drive

from the intersection at Lincoln Avenue to Bronco Circle, and on the south side of Uni-versity Drive from the intersection at Lincoln Avenue to the bus stop at Michigan Avenue (see link for map).

Non-commercial parking of any kind is prohibited in these areas and may result in a Boise City park-ing citation. Alterna-tive parking remains available at metered

parking spaces on Bronco Circle and in the Lincoln Avenue Garage across the street from the Stu-dent Union Building.

For now the re-strictions apply at all times, but Boise State has requested ACHD adjust the restriction to only apply during the day.

For a map and more information visit transportation.boisestate.edu/.

Avoid spreading germsIn response to

student concerns, Health Services has had hand sanitizer stations installed in high traffic areas on campus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Keeping hands clean through im-proved hand hygiene is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid get-ting sick and spread-ing germs to others.”

When soap and water are unavail-able, the CDC rec-ommends using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol to clean hands.

Hand sanitizer

stations and refills were purchased by Health Services and installed across campus by Facili-ties, Operations and Maintenance.

Staff from Health Services will check the stations monthly to monitor use and refill as needed. If you have a high traf-fic area where you would like to have a hand sanitizer station installed, contact Health Services.

They have four sta-tions left and will work to get them installed and maintained on campus. Email [email protected] if you would like one of the four remain-ing stations.

It sure is disappointing when you don’t get what you pay for.

Some individual health plans seem like a bargain, but may be missing the benefits you really need. Plus, you have to pay medical bills out of your pocket until you hit the deductible ($1,000 to $5,000) before the insurance pays a penny*.

What good is health insurance if you can’t afford to use it?

Considering an individual plan? Here are some things that may not be covered:

• Contraceptives• Chiropractic care• Physical therapy• Mental health care• Allergy treatment and testing• Pregnancy (or covered only after an additional

deductible of $5,000 or $10,000)• Brand-name prescription drugs may be covered

only after meeting an additional $5,000 deductible

Go to www.renstudent.com for more information about SHIP benefits.

*Preventive services and immunizations are not subject to the deductible.

Don’t feel blue ― Stay on SHIP!Student Health Insurance Plan

SHIP now covers all of this and more. Plus, SHIP has low copays and deductibles, so if you get sick or have an accident, it won’t cost you your education.

Aches, body chills and vomiting are just a few of the delights enjoyed by in-dividuals who have caught the flu. Health services had no reported cases of in-fluenza on campus during the week of Jan. 4, but this number is expected to go up as students, faculty and staff return to campus for the spring semester.

In Idaho and many other states nationwide wide-spread flu activity has been reported. Flu season offi-cially began with the first reported case in Idaho on Oct. 1 and since then eight influenza-related deaths have been reported, all in individuals over the age of 50.

Typically Idaho sees up to 12 influenza-related deaths per year, but in 2003-2004, a particularly severe year, a reported 28 deaths due to influenza.

Although the flu is gen-erally most severe in the

very young or old, being college-aged doesn’t mean students won’t catch the flu and suffer from the side effects.

The first reported case of influenza on campus was Nov. 26. Health Services stated at the time there was no evidence of a wide-spread outbreak, but that they would continue to monitor the situation.

Before school let out for winter break, Health Ser-vices reminded students to get a flu shot.

Flu shots are available at the Health Center, located on the second floor of the Norco building. No ap-pointment is necessary, but students do need to bring a valid student ID and insur-ance card.

According to Health Services, “(The)Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) covers cost of vac-cine at 100 percent when provided at the Health Center. Other types of in-surance will be billed and any balance not paid by in-

surance will be billed to the student.” After receiving the flu shot it takes roughly two weeks for the body to begin to develop the anti-bodies which protect the body against the flu virus. The Centers for Disease Control

(CDC) cautions anyone with a fever and moderate to severe illness should wait to receive the vaccine until they’re feeling better.

Remember, however, the flu shot is not a guaranteed safe-guard from illness. The effectiveness from the shot can vary based on age, risk group and how closely the virus used to make the

shot and the circulating strains match.

The CDC explains the flu virus is constantly chang-ing, either from season to season or even during the flu season, it is referred to as, “antigenic drift.”

The viruses picked to use in vaccines are selected months in advance which can result in a poor match. Even when a poor match is made, the CDC urges peo-ple to receive the shot as the shot will still encourage the body to produce protection against similar viruses.

“Findings from early data suggest that this season’s

vaccine so far is reducing the risk of having to go to the doctor for influenza by about 60 percent for vac-cinated people,” the CDC reports.

Although this doesn’t mean the flu shot will be a cure-all for students wor-ried about missing classes due to illness, the CDC does state, “Influenza vac-cination, even with moder-ate effectiveness of about 60 percent, has been shown to also reduce the follow-ing: flu-related illness, an-tibiotic use, time lost from work, hospitalizations, and deaths.”

After receiving the vac-cine there are a few side ef-fects to be aware of. Some may mistake the side ef-fects for flu symptoms, as they range from sore-ness, redness and swelling where the shot was given, low-grade fever and body aches. If experienced at all these side effects should last only one to two days. The shot does not result in recipients actually re-ceiving the living flu virus, but instead is composed

of killed or inactivated viruses.

Individuals sick with flu-like symptoms can go to the Health Services web-site and read up on “Be Smart Tips” to keep from infecting friends, profes-sors and classmates around campus. It is important to remember, even with the sometimes controversial attendance policies on cam-pus the best way to prevent the spread of the flu is to stay home.

Students with concerns about the flu shot or the in-fluenza virus should contact their doctor with questions.

Watch out for widespread flu activity

Tasha Adams is a senior (hopefully) graduating in May. She is terrified of all things graduation—failing a class and not meeting requirements, walk-ing at the ceremony, not finding a job after receiving her degree. “The undaunted undergrad” is an account of working through last-semester fears and not screwing anything up while pre-paring for life after graduation.

I’m finally here: my last semester at college. I always knew I would get here eventu-ally, I just didn’t think I would get here so quickly.

After attending three semes-ters of college right out of high school and then dropping out, I took five years to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.

During those five years, I found a steady, well-paying job at a bank where I worked 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. I had holidays off, an awesome health insur-ance plan and a 401k. It was a pretty nice setup and I could have stayed there until retire-ment. But it wasn’t satisfying.

So I came back to school in 2009 and as the semesters went by, my commitment to the bank dwindled until I fi-nally quit in September.

And while the university won’t classify me as a “tradi-tional student,” that’s exactly what I am. I have a 12-credit workload, I am working an on-campus job and I live alone in an itty-bitty apartment only two miles from campus.

As I begin my last semester, I don’t have misty memories about how I got here or a good laugh about the tests I bombed.

Nope, things are still too real for reminiscing and I have new things to worry about.

Instead, I am kicking myself for not studying enough for tests or for half-assing research papers. I am sick to my stom-ach about passing my classes this semester because if I don’t, I am here for one more semester. I am too intimidated to even think about making money after graduation be-cause I have no idea what I want to do with my degree now that I (almost) have it.

This is my last chance to get these things right and I’ll be damned if I don’t come out of this semester with that fancy piece of paper, a job and slightly unscathed.

For you wouldn’t be taking just anything away,

You would be taking away my jewel.

Check out our first Campus Canvas submission, a poem entitled “My Jewel” by sophomore Andrew Jenkins.

about Campus Canvas:

Andrew Jenkins is a sophomore double majoring in English with an emphasis in writing and political science with an emphasis in pub-lic law and political philosophy. While he, as a student, is interested in delving into all types of writing in an attempt to gain writing expe-rience for law school, Jenkins said his love of poetry spreads outside of the confines of the classroom.

“I do a little outside of school on long breaks,” Jenkins said. “I write about anything I think of or feel at the moment.”

A creative writing class in high school initially sparked Jenkins’ interest in poetry, where he was in-troduced to arguably one of his fa-vorite poets, Paul Dunbar. In class, Jenkins was tasked to memorize and recite Dunbar’s “The Mask.”

“He (Dunbar) talked a lot about hardships people went through,” Jenkins said. “The Mask was ac-tually about the enslavement of black people and how they had to hide the pain behind the mask they wore and it was really, not to sound cliché, but it was really touching stuff.”

Jenkins’ Campus Canvas sub-mission, “My Jewel,” was written

on a whim for his girlfriend after his other attempts to cheer her up fell flat.

“My girlfriend was having a bad day and her middle name is jewel,” Jenkins said. “None of the regu-lar stuff I usually do would cheer her up, so when I went home I sat down and was listening to some music and I wrote that, showed it to her, and it made her day better.”

Fight BoredomPick up the Arbiter

every Monday and Thursday.Haley RobinsonEditor-in-Chief

During these bone-chilling winter mornings when students are trudging their ways to their first classes of the semester, there is a desperate need for motivation. Since college students love nothing more than a shiny new mixtape (besides maybe Urban Outfitters and obscure indie films) here is a playlist of up-beat college rock songs to infuse some pep into the steps of those dreary-eyed individuals.

Soundtrack for the spring semester

Paige EaglestoneCourtesy

Senior English major Paige Eaglestone writes, writes and writes. With this emphasis she has sharpened her reading skills to review characters, plot turns and themes better than cliff notes.

The word runaway connotes danger, excitement, and often fearlessness. A person who is a runaway is considered to be a rebel, an adventurer, for they have left their old life behind to begin a completely new life.

Safe Haven by Nicholas Sparks follows the journey of one runaway, Katie Feldman, a fearful, world-weary young woman who finds refuge in Southport, North Carolina.

For Katie, being a runaway means quite the opposite of its connotations.

Her life and the recount

of it is “safe,” it is slow mov-ing and consists of humdrum occurrences.

The mere mention of de-tailing chores and work expe-riences is enough to make a reader yawn in boredom.

Sparks’ tactics in drawing the reader in by initiating at-tachments after establishing detachment are shaky at best. Katie remains guarded and cold for the first quarter of the narrative, her walls are con-crete and she is content with her lackluster new life.

The story lethargically drags on during this section.

However, the story esca-lates in momentum over time, as Katie grows attached to her “Safe Haven,” Southport, and its residents.

Initially, Katie’s neighbor, Jo, is the first to truly interact with her.

Her character instills a famil-iar warm ambiance which will reasonate with readers.

Character Alex is the ideal southern gentleman. A wid-ower and a father, he is directly represented as having a kind, patient demeanor.

He becomes almost un-relatable, seemingly possessing no faults, unlike Katie, whose weaknesses and strengths are detailed and accounted for.

Yet, her transformation, physically, mentally and emo-tionally throughout the nar-rative is quite remarkable. She becomes a strong protagonist in her own right, is depicted as “perfectly radiant” and is often united with the beautiful scen-ery that Sparks illustrates.

The reader is easily able to see her come of age as she fo-cuses on the present and the person she has become, rather

than her past self and the mis-takes which once haunted her. Sparks places emphasis on the importance of strong relation-ships, hinting growth in friend-ships directly correlates with personal growth.

But with each redundancy in the storyline, a sense of nor-malcy is established and Sparks instills certain limitations and expectations on his characters.

Nonetheless, Sparks has crafted himself quite the reputation.

This novel has all the cus-tomary components of a Nicholas Sparks story; strong characters, romance and grief, in an unforced sinuous narrative.

If you happen to have some time on your hands and are looking for a complaisant escape, look no further than Safe Haven.

Safe Haven is no haven

Ryan HoffmanStaff Writer

Self-proclaimed movie buff and spare time film producer Ryan Hoffman is a freshman video production major. His love and interest in film has called him to review movies for your entertainment .

As most moviegoers know, film trailers can be mislead-ing. This can be a good or bad thing; a film can open to great reviews and audience word-of-mouth after having a lousy or subpar trailer, or a terrible film can be marketed with all of the best scenes from the film exclusively shown in the trailer. Unfortunately, the latter hap-pens much more often than the former.

The frustrating thing about Gangster Squad, starring a

well-bred cast of Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Sean Penn, is judging by its trailer, it had the potential to be an ultra-violent and clever spin on the gangster genre.

Instead, the film itself only half-delivers on its promise. Director of photography Dion Beebe gives the cinematogra-phy a lush tone and stylistic flair and production designer Maher Ahmad convincingly takes us back to 1940’s Los Angeles, glamorous and grimy at the same time. The actors are certainly all game, and it’s a joy to watch them play their respective parts as undercover cops, dames and ruthless villains.

Half of the problem with this film is just that: these char-acters don’t have much of a personality besides what’s just

been described. Undercover cops, dames and ruthless vil-lains may be interesting per-sonalities to begin with, but not when we’ve seen those same characters dozens of times in any crime film over the past 20 to 30 years.

Ryan Gosling’s Jerry Woot-ers is the cool guy who talks up the ladies before shooting a bullet through two mobsters’ heads. Josh Brolin’s Sgt. John O’Mara is the hardened but likable hero who’s seen it all but accepts to go through with one last mission. You get the idea.

It’s about the same in terms of the action sequences. Shoot-outs, car chases and explosions are exciting things to watch, but the enjoyment of the film is lessened when these se-quences aren’t presented in a new way.

This is pretty much the rea-son why the action movie genre has gotten a bad rap; besides mostly giving us stock charac-ters, there’s only so many times one can see a choppily edited, you-know-what’s-about-to-happen-and-then-it-happens action sequence before they walk out of the theater.

On the flip side of the equa-tion, there a few very hilarious and well-placed jokes sprinkled throughout Gangster Squad, adding a bit more pulp to the movie’s fiction. The sublime comedic moments, the actors’ willingness to play the roles straight, and the visual flair suggest a movie which could have been.

Gangster Squad marks itself as the first some-what disappointing movie of 2013.

“Try it with Tabby” is a weekly article chronicling the adventures of Tabitha Bower as she searches for out-of-the-ordinary and budget-friendly activities for Boise State students.

As college students, life is hectic. We get into a daily grind juggling school, work, responsibilities and social lives all while mov-ing at the pace of marathon runners. When we finally find some free time to re-lax, this on-the-run lifestyle can affect us in many ways. If you are anything like me, the effects come in the form of an inability to convert to leisure and refusal to sit still for an extended amount of time.

I love watching movies on the big screen, however, this lack of ability to sit in one seat for an extended amount of time has ruined

my movie-going experi-ence on more than one oc-casion. This week for “Try it with Tabby” I traveled west to Nampa to try out a theatre with a non-tradi-tional twist, making it more suited for those struggling with relaxation ; Northern Lights Cinema Grill.

While the drive out to Nampa is less than appeal-ing, the discounted movie prices make the commute a bit less bearable. North-ern Lights Cinema Grill is tucked into the Karcher Mall, a quirky little haunt toting fake designer hand-bags and clearance versions of upscale department stores, which, on a Wednes-day night, is eerily deserted.

Much like the mall, the cinema itself was com-pletely empty. After order-ing dinner and drinks, I entered my very own pri-vate theatre for a screening of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” The movies played at the cinema grill

are not new releases, but are current enough to still be relevant.

The cinema grill is set up like a traditional movie theatre, except with larger spaces between isles and tables at the front of each chair. I personally ordered a burger, which was more satisfying than I had ex-pected for theatre food, and a pitcher of beer. That’s right—they serve beer, wine and desserts.

The perfect mixture of a good movie, food and drinks kept me entertained enough to fully enjoy my two hours of relaxation without feeling the need to get up and move around or check my smartphone for Facebook updates.

So, if you’re anything like me, and your on-the-go mentality equates sitting in a theatre for over an hour a prison sentence, the cin-ema grill take on a theatre may just be the fix.

Noticing a lack of student-tailored art opportunities, se-nior print making major Erika Sather-Smith took initiative to remedy the situation. With a desire to incorporate stu-dent representation in Boise 150, a celebration of Boise’s 150th year, Sather-Smith cre-ated a recurring First Thurs-day art opportunity for students.

“I noticed in my time at Boise State and being in-volved with the department of arts and history that stu-dents don’t ever engage with the Boise department of arts and history not because the opportunities aren’t there but because of time constraints or just not really knowing they can apply for the opportuni-ties,” Sather-Smith said.

Sather-Smith teamed up with the Sesqui-Shop in downtown to provide a pho-to booth space for student art. First Thursday experiencers can pose in photos that will compile Boise 150 digital ar-chives commemorating this historic year.

Students have the option

to submit their ideas once a month for every First Thurs-day starting March and end-ing in December.

Sather-Smith said she en-courages students to either individually or collaborative-ly submit a proposal and fill the 6 ft. by 9 ft. space in the Sesqui-Shop.

“I really want students to apply and not be afraid of submitting their work,” Sath-er-Smith said. “Any work will be considered. The only re-quirement is the entire space be covered. I know it can be kind of scary, but I’m here to help and will keep in contact.”

Sather-Smith also wants to emphasize the rolling dead-line: every month there will be a new deadline for stu-dents to apply for displaying their work for First Thursday (if students miss a month they can apply for another month). Sather-Smith said she hopes this opportunity is conducive for students gain-ing experience as artists and getting their art out to the community.

“It is a concern of mine that the Boise State art students are so uninvolved with the community,” Sather-Smith said. “A lot of times I think it

is just the fact that it is hard to do that and go to school. The opportunities that are out there are kind of not really tailored to students, so the idea is to create an opportu-nity that is hopefully tailored to students and can be easily balanced with also going to school.”

Taken directly from her Bachelor of Fine Arts exhi-bition last semester, Sather-Smith’s work will be displayed for February’s First Thursday. Sather-Smith will fill the space with her 3-D screen printed hexagonal pyramids from her piece “Chooser.”

Student creates campus art opportunities

For more informa-tion and to apply for submitting art in the photo booth, email Sather-Smith at [email protected]. The sub-mission deadline for March First Thurs-day is Jan. 25, but this deadline can be flexible. For more information about Boise 150 check out www.boise150.org.

Colleges and universities charge too much, deliver too little and channel too many students into a lifetime of debt. Genuine reform must be brought to bear to curb those abuses.

College graduates still earn more and are unem-ployed less often. However, with so many recent gradu-ates serving cappuccino and treading water in unpaid internships, a four-year di-ploma is not quite the solid investment it once was, and it should not be so often viewed as such a necessity by society.

Since 2007-2008, the av-erage pay for recent four-year graduates has fallen nearly 5 percent, while the average earnings of a typical American worker, as tracked by the Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics, is up 10 percent.

Graduates in high-de-mand disciplines can still earn good starting salaries and expect rising earn-ings as experience grows, but in many majors they increasingly face market conditions that have be-deviled skilled manufactur-ing workers for decades: too many folks chasing too few jobs.

Academics tend to see a

university education ideal-istically—cultivating criti-cal thinking and facilitating a satisfying life—but most middle-class families view the situation in more practi-cal terms. For them, a diplo-ma is a capital investment often purchased at extortive prices.

Outstanding student loans now exceed $1 tril-lion, with 1 in 6 in de-fault—a ratio that will likely grow.

Unlike loans taken to capi-talize a small business or buy a house, student loans are not dischargeable in bank-ruptcy, and stories abound of folks in their 40s and 50s

still saddled with onerous debt and the elderly with garnisheed Social Security benefits.

Colleges and universities often fail to furnish families with all the information nec-essary to make sound choic-es—including the probabil-ity a student will complete a degree in four years; the full cost of completing a degree; and likely salaries and pros-pects for repaying loans, es-pecially according to major and for students who only attend a few years and do not complete a degree.

For their students to qual-ify for both government-sponsored and private bank

loans, universities should be compelled to provide au-dited information about the likely time required and cost of obtaining degrees in vari-ous majors; salaries gradu-ates earn the first years after graduation, and the result-ing repayment burdens; and similar data for those who attend less than four years. Like CEOs of corporations who must now attest to the accuracy of financial state-ments, university presidents should be required to do the same, and be subject to simi-lar legal penalties for failure.

Student loans should be dischargeable in bankruptcy when these investments

don’t work out; otherwise, we will continue to create debtors for life. And univer-sities should be on the hook for a significant share of de-faulted loans.

Well-run institutions would get their costs and tuition under control, seri-ously evaluate and become transparent about the pros-pects for a decent-paying job after majoring in art history as opposed to mechanical engineering, and have little problem lining up private investors to insure their share of prospective default liabilities.

Schools that take students’ money and deliver too little for it would go the way of Circuit City or the St. Louis Browns, and stop blighting the futures of young people.

Universities need to do more to control expenses

It’s cold and as any Idaho resident will tell you, the winter weather isn’t ending anytime soon.

Whether you’re a mo-torist, a cyclist or a pedes-trian on campus, you will most definitely be trying to avoid the freezing tempera-tures of the season.

But when the university is covered in ice and snow, is enough done to keep everyone safe?

Snow and ice cover the sidewalks and streets every year and it's a pain to drive on and just sucks, shouldn't someone shovel it?

Luckily Boise State has a department which takes care of it for us.

Winter safety is the handiwork of Trans-portation and Parking Services (TPS).

As Assistant Direc-tor Nicole Bandas said, “Our priorities change (in case of heavy snow)

because safety is priority number one.”

Depending on Mother Nature, said Bandas, the TPS has staff out at any-where from 3 to 5 a.m., plowing and salting the roads. And according to the department’s “Winter Safety and Precautions,” its goal is to have all main sidewalks safe and acces-sible by 8 a.m.

Additionally, TPS park-ing ambassadors, the peo-ple who check the parking meters, offer safety assis-tance when snow is an is-sue on campus.

So maybe the next time you receive a parking tick-et, you should be thankful you could at least get to campus on a safe road that morning.

Even parking—which is normally a simple task—can be compli-cated when temperatures plummet.

Manny Wheaton, a sophomore mechanical engineering major, said, “I

don’t really have a prob-lem with it (parking) other than the fact that I have to park on the highest floors of Brady Garage and get a citation if I’m in the wrong spot.”

To students faced with this problem, Bandas ex-plained how little the turn-over is with residential drivers. In other words, some students will stay parked in the garages for days at a time without moving.

The way the TPS looks at it, why should those who pay daily to park be re-quired to drive all the way up to the higher levels? It’s all about accountability.

Nevertheless, when weather conditions are drastic, the TPS compen-sates by allowing residen-tial motorists to park one level lower depending on their designated garage.

Ultimately TPS is ocus-ing on the safety and well-being of students and ev-eryone else on campus.

Is Boise State keeping roads safe?

The first day of the year rang in more than resolutions—with the new year came some of Boi-se’s coldest temperatures so far this winter. Just how c-c-cold was Boise during winter break? Jan. 4 saw a low of just 4 degrees Fahrenheit.

For nearly the duration of the intersession class term, Boise’s daily high temperatures hov-ered at 15-20 degrees below normal; many days, the temper-ature barely reached two digits. The well-below-freezing tem-peratures and a heavier-than-average snowfall combined to make campus a winter wonder-land for those Broncos lucky enough to be enrolled in classes over break.

But while most of the Trea-sure Valley’s public schools enjoyed several snow days dur-ing the duration of the winter weather spell, Boise State stu-dents weren’t so lucky. Despite dangerously cold temperatures and snow-covered, slick road-ways, Boise State classes re-mained staunchly in session for the duration of intersession.

“It’s different in interses-sion than in regular classes, because an intersession class is the equivalent of a whole week of regular classes,” said Ryan Dunton, a junior majoring in economics who took an inter-session course this year. “If it’s an intersession class, I think you kind of have to have it.”

Dunton added that on one of the worst-weather days dur-ing the intersession term, stu-dents were allowed to arrive on campus an hour later than the scheduled start of classes, al-lowing them to take their time navigating the slippery road-ways.

Other students, however, felt safety should be the university’s highest priority and despite the compact nature of intersession classes, a day off may have been in the students’ best interest.

“There was a day or two when the roads were really bad,” said sophomore education major Julie Kemp. “If the interstate is closed down, obviously the roads are bad. That should be something (Boise State) takes into account. It’s dangerous to drive early in the morning when it’s cold if the roads are that icy.”

According to the university website, many factors are taken into account when university officials weigh the decision to cancel classes due to winter weather. The decision is made by an administrative team rath-er than an individual, and safety for students and staff is fore-most in making such a decision.

However, Boise State tends to be more conservative with school closures and class can-cellations than local school dis-tricts. Campus policy is to re-main open except in rare cases where conditions are so bad as to require otherwise. According to university policy, “closing is the rare exception, not the rule.”

New year. New semes-ter. New outlook? Perhaps, whether it’s a specific reso-lution you’re “valiantly” at-tempting to achieve or even a fresh mentality on tackling the academic obstacles that lay ahead. But a new outlook for Boise State athletics is in order, and for all the right reasons.

Plenty of nationally rec-ognized programs have sur-faced here on campus, some more noticeable than others, but all giving a brand rep-resentation of noteworthy scholar athletes dawning the blue and orange jerseys.

The men’s basketball team, who currently hold a 13-4 overall record and have been giving their Mountain West competition quality basket-ball, despite a 1-2 confer-ence record thus far.

With the current strides Head Coach Leon Rice has made into his third year have been more than noticeable, whether it’s the quality of play or the numbers in the stands. Wash away the mem-ory of the Broncos’ tough loss in the Mountain West conference title to the Az-tecs last season and look for-ward for a possible NCAA tournament birth.

Let’s not forget the men’s wrestling team placing sec-ond in the Pac-12 tourna-ment last season and are cur-rently on a four-match win streak.

Or men’s tennis looking to repeat their Mountain West tournament title as their season commences. Even women’s gymnastics look to create momentum with their solid opening win over Utah State.

And for the university’s most established program, Bronco Nation should definitely stay tuned to the spring football practices and start to buy into the idea last season’s team offers plenty of promise for the 2013 year.

Even if I didn’t have the column space to highlight every Bronco varsity sport, each rising program is fos-tering their own success.

Boise State athletics seems to be coasting with the cur-rent in its reputable blue sail as it makes headlines and television screens in the new year. A permanent (and I say that loosely) home in the Mountain West as well as heightened national ex-posure, revenue and fan representation highlight the right trail the Broncos are trotting in.

Men’s tennis sweep up home victoriesJohn GarretsonSports Editor

The Boise State men's ten-nis took advantage of their first two home matches of the season, taking victo-ries over Montana and Air Force this past Saturday at the Boas Tennis Complex.

The No. 38 ranked Bron-cos (2-0, 1-0 in MW), with-out their top two players from last season in James Meredith and Damian Hume, made a statement

this weekend under the veteran presence of senior Scott Sears and emerging star sophomore Garrett Patton.

In the first match, the Broncos swept in the dou-bles play against the Griz-zlies, with big wins from Patton and Sears in the No. 1 bracket, senior Filipp Pogostkin and freshman Toby Mitchell in the No. 2 spot and sophomore Aidan Reid and freshman Thomas Tenreiro at the No. 3 seed.

Keeping the momentum into singles play, the Bron-cos kept out the broom, sweeping the singles play with noteworthy wins from junior Andy Bettles 6-4, 7-5 No. 1 seed win over Andrew Warren all the way to senior Freddy Walsh's 6-0, 6-1 No. 6 seed win over Zach Drost to capitalize on a 7-0 vic-tory over Montana.

In the later match against Air Force, the victory came much tougher against the Falcons.

While the No. 1 seed of Sears and Patton proved to be victorious once again with a 8-2 victory against Grant Taylor and Lance Wilhelm, the Falcons were able to sneak a win in at the No. 3 seed with Landon Kinsey Ali Rizvi defeating Reid and Bettles 8-7 (7-4).

The only other victories Air Force would take in would be at the No. 1 and No. 6 seed for the singles play, as the Broncos domi-nated in the remainder of

the match to take home a 5-2 victory against a quality conference opponent.

If this is any sign that the Broncos will be back to de-fend the Mountain West title, then what a positive sign this was.

The men's team heads out to Berkeley, Calif. to take on California, Michigan and Santa Clara. It's not until March 2 that the men will play at home against, squaring off against the Utah Utes.

This Sunday Boise State wrestling took on a fellow Pac-12 conference member, Arizona State, for the first duel at home this season.

For all of the new wres-tling and Boise State enthu-siasts: Yes, Boise State is in the Pac-12 division as an af-filiate in wrestling.

Well, they made it count as they dominated the Sun Devils.

The Broncos are lead by five wrestlers in the top-25 in their own weight class: Redshirt senior Brian Owen (No. 20), redshirt senior Ja-son Chamberlain (No. 2), senior George Ivanov (No. 17), redshirt junior Jake Swartz (No. 10) and junior

J.T. Felix (No.12).The first two matches did

not look very good for the Broncos, but they wouldn’t let the Sun Devils set the tone.

The first match started out in the 185-weight class as Felix took on another ranked opponent, No.19 Levi Cooper.

Both wrestlers were duel-ing it out early, but Cooper was too much to handle as Felix lost, 0-5.

In the second match, Boi-se State’s Haddadin lost a tough one to Dalton Miller, 2-10, giving ASU the major decision.

A major decision is when one wrestler beats the other by at least eight points.

The Broncos would soon return the favor.

In the next match, Owen defeated ASU’s Carpio, 23-7, giving the Broncos a technical fall or tech. A tech is when one wrestler de-feats another by at least 15 points.

The next match, Boise State’s redshirt senior Josh Strait had the best match of the duel.

For every second of the match, both wrestlers were jockeying for a position to take over.

Neither was having much success, causing a tight match until the last 15 seconds in the last pe-riod when Strait executed an arm-throw, gained two more points and sealed up the victory.

This also happened to be Strait’s first match of the

season. Strait had been re-covering from surgery from the previous season where he tore his labrum and bi-cep muscle.

“It was tough coming back from surgery last year. First duel of the year, it feels pretty good to get a win,” Strait said.

When asked about the arm-throw, Strait said he had seen opportunities ear-lier on in the match and of-ten times the opportunity is there more times than not.

“It gets used a lot in free-style and that’s my back-ground. It’s always there, it’s not something I’m thinking about doing, it’s just there if I feel it,” Strait said.

Jason Chamberlain, the highest ranked wrestler on either team at No. 2, once

again kept his streak of dominance as he won on a technical fall, 20-5. Cham-berlain is now 19-1 on the year.

“I just went out and wrestled. I try to get bonus points every match. I was hoping to get a pin, but the tech is the next best thing. That’s how you have to wrestle every match. After a while, it’s not good enough to just get a win, you’re al-ways trying to go for more to help the team out,” Chamberlain said.

The Broncos won the last of the remaining matches; finishing with a team score of 33-7 and improving to a 6-5 record on the year.

The Broncos next match is Friday, Feb. 1 at home against CSU Bakersfield.

Broncos fly past Falcons in home winCody FinneyPhoto Editor

Women’s basketball took on the seventh-ranked Air Force Falcons Saturday in their third conference game of the season.

Battling hard throughout the game, the Broncos nar-rowly pulled out a win with a final score of 66-65.

Though junior guard Ch-erae Medina scored a total of 23 points for the Falcons, it was senior forward Lauren Lenhardt who trumped all players with a total and sea-

son high of 27 points.“Just doing my job,” Len-

hardt said. “My role is to score points."

And score she did. After coming off a loss from New Mexico, the Broncos ex-tended their winning record to 2-1 in conference play.

After Lenhardt’s opening score in the first half, the Fal-cons replied with a number of rebuttals of their own.

Playing with aggression and speed, Falcon senior guard Alicia Leipprandt continuously chipped down the gap between the scores.

Junior guard Diana Lee di-rected the offense to a 34-26 lead over the Falcons in the first half.

Intensity grew as Lenhardt again opened the second half with the initial bucket. Each time the Broncos made a surge of points, the Falcons were quick to respond.

It was junior guard Erica Martinez’s first three-point-er of the second half which reignited the flame under the Falcons.

Lenhardt continuously played her role, as three-time player of the week

should, and stopped the Falcons with defensive play after defensive play.

It was after the fire tie of the second half at 55-55 when some sloppy play began. Bad passes and misjudged jabs at opponents opened room for the officials to begin making some questionable calls of their own.

Game play lay idle and fans booed the officials when for questionable calls in favor of the Falcons. Once the final jump-ball verdict was issued, the referee promptly called a make-up call to account for

the poor call.Returning back to play,

the Broncos pulled ahead at a steady pass until the Falcons turned on the power again.

Tied at 61-61, Lenhardt brought the Bronco score to 66 as the Falcons began their final push to win.

“Just do your best and you’ll get the best outcome,” Lenhardt said.

Air Force dug deep to turn out four additional points, but their outcome must have not been their best to surpass Boise.

Though it was a victory for women’s basketball, the Fal-cons played a solid game and gave the Broncos a run for their money. The Mountain West play is just beginning, which means the competi-tion will only increase.

The Broncos take on the rivals Fresno State Wednes-day in the Save Mart Center at Fresno, Calif.

The women plan to con-tinue their home court momentum against confer-ence opponent Nevada next Saturday Jan. 26 at Taco Bell Arena.
