Mexican authorities accused of
torture during investigation into
missing students
Strong evidence was released
Sunday that Mexican officials
tortured suspects in the search for
43 students who went missing in
2014, according to Time Magazine.
The experts who released the data,
the Inter-American Commission on
Human Rights, said that a study of
17 suspects yielded signs of beatings, bruises and cuts.
The 17 suspects interviewed
were only a fraction of roughly 123
suspects detained by the Mexican
government thus far. At least one of
those suspects reported being asphyxiated with a plastic bag, while
another was reportedly hit so hard
on the ears that his eardrums broke.
These allegations could endanger
the possibility of convictions for
those responsible for the 2014 kidnappings because the governments
explanation for the crime that
corrupt police handed the students
over to the cartels now rests on
confessions that could be the product of torture.
The experts group who released
the report have also claimed that
the Mexican government was hesitant to release certain data to them,
and has been criticized by the group
as more interested in PR than in
investigating.
THROUGH A LENSE
UNR preps
for new aid
regulation
Staff Report
Students at the University of Nevada,
Reno, could see less federal money this
fall as an old Department of Education
regulation gets a new spin. Thats according
to Melisa Choroszy, UNRs associate vice
president for enrollment services, registrar
and commencement, who stopped by last
weeks Associated Students of the University
of Nevada senate meeting to break the news.
The regulation in question stipulates
that federal aid only go toward credits
that are applicable to a students declared
major or minor. In the past, Choroszy
says that institutions across the country
interpreted this broadly to mean that any
credit going toward a degree could count
for this federal aid.

Kasich, Cruz officially join forces
to block Trump nomination
The presidential campaigns for
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov.
John Kasich announced a joint plan
Sunday that aims to keep Donald
Trump from being the Republican
nominee. In a statement, the Cruz
campaign said it would shift focus
to Indiana while opening up the
road for Kasich in Oregon and New
Mexico.
Kasich has long been mathematically eliminated from the primary
contest, and Cruz stands on the
verge of being eliminated himself
with poor performances predicted
in todays slate of primaries. Even
so, it remains possible that this new
effort from the pair could make it
very difficult for Trump to lock up
the 1,237 delegates he needs to win
the nomination on the first ballot.
In his trademark style, Trump took
to Twitter Sunday night to respond.
Wow, just announced that Lyin
Ted and Kasich are going to collude
in order to keep me from getting the
Republican nomination. DESPERATION! Trumps tweet read.
Trump has won 846 delegates in
the primaries up until now and has
by far the best shot of taking the
nomination on a first ballot. However, he has only recently begun
efforts to woo delegates, and odds
are Ted Cruz would perform best if
the convention ever makes it to a
second or third ballot.

Reno ranks among most polluted
cities for air quality on new Lung
Association list
The Biggest Little City landed 11th
on a new list released last Wednesday
by the American Lung Association,
according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. Specifically, Renos short-term
particulate pollution levels landed
the city in 11th, though long-term
particulate levels and ozone levels
in the city are more moderate. Even
so, the city still received an F in the
ozone category.
The data behind the list comes
from two years of EPA data collected
between 2012 and 2014, though Reno
has passed the EPAs annual particulate standards. This is largely because
of the fine particulates caused by
wildfires in the summer and while the
EPA does not include wildfire data in
its standards, the American Lung Association does.

Stitching together a quilt called the universe

By Marcus Lavergne
here are few
mysteries that
come close
to reaching
the level of
obscurity
behind how
humanity
got here and
where it all
started. The cosmoss behavior and
origin have intrigued the worlds
most renowned intellectuals since
the beginning of civilization, but
with the help of developing telescopic technology, scientists are
working to peer into the depths of
time, back to where it all began.
Dr. Robert Williams has been interested in the realm of astronomy
since he was 12 years old. Through
his research, hes constantly pushed
the limits of his lifelong fascination
with the mysterious, ever-expanding vacuum known as outer space.
Williams, an adjunct professor

at Johns Hopkins University and
former director of the Space Telescope Science Institute has worn
many hats, but for him, observing
the cosmos as an astronomer has
been one of his most rewarding
endeavors.
Last Thursday, three days before
the 26th anniversary of the Hubble
Space Telescopes launch into orbit,
Williams spoke to a large group
during his lecture, Hubble Space
Telescope: Piecing Together the
Workings of the Universe, in the
University of Nevada, Renos Davidson Math and Science Centers
Redfield Auditorium. The lecture
focused on Hubbles past, present
and future as well as the future of
space observation and theories on
the structure of the universe and its
expansion.
Williams, presently Astronomer Emeritus for the STScl,
played a significant role in shaping the Hubble Space Telescope

Program into what it is today
an effort dedicated to viewing the furthest depths of space,
which contains the origin of the
known universe. Williams was the
Director for the STScl from 1993
to 1998 when he was awarded the
American Astronomical Societys
Beatrice M. Tinsley Prize for his
leadership in piecing together the
Hubble Deep Field.
The HDF is a collection of 342
separate exposures that revealed
what were then the furthestobserved regions of the universe
during its unveiling in 1996. The
telescope peered through space
and time, more than 10 billion
years in fact, into areas where
some galaxies were still undergoing the formation process.

Refugees could
come to Reno
By Will Yepez
In 2014, 1.66 million people submitted applications to the U.S. for political asylum, the highest number ever.
In November 2015, the Northern Nevada
International Center sent an application
to the U.S. Department of State to start
accepting refugees into Reno. The NNIC
is affiliated with the University of Nevada,
Reno, and is a nonprofit organization.
The State Department granted the NNIC
provisional approval in February 2016.
If nothing impedes the process, this
would allow refugees from Syria, Columbia, Iraq and other countries to begin settling in Reno. In light of recent attacks on
Paris and Brussels, Gallup found that 60
percent of Americans are apprehensive
about accepting refugees from Syria.
The Mayors Office has supported the
humanitarian goals of the organization,
but have not formally supported the
application to allow in refugees. Nevada
Gov. Brian Sandoval had expressed concerns but has managed to sidestep the
issue by claiming only the federal government has authority to resettle refugees.
The United States has a long history of
being a political and religious safe haven
for people who were on the losing side
in their own countries. Many argue the
United States should keep this tradition
by assisting those who are ostracized by
their own country.

Panel highlights the strife of the undocumented

By Marcus Lavergne
The potential deportation of a substantial part of the U.S. continues to trouble
community members around Nevada.
As some sit with family and friends that
they believe can disappear at any given
moment, others worry about just how to
fix a complicated immigration system.
Last Friday, a panel of social justice
advocates sat down for a discussion on
immigration and the everyday trepida-
A4
tions for the millions of undocumented

people living in the states. At the
Border of Immigration and Justice
was both an event to create awareness
and a plea to unite the community and
advocate for change.
The panel guests included Astrid Silva
with the Progressive Leadership Alliance; Patricia Gallimore, the president of
the Sparks-Reno chapter of the NAACP;
and Xiomara Rodriguez, the executive
director of Tu Casa Latina, an organiza-
PROFESSORS TALK TRUMP
tion that helps undocumented women

in domestically abusive relationships.
During the two-hour talk, they discussed
their own run-ins with immigration
troubles as well as resources for those in
need of assistance.
Silvas own story seemed to resonate
with the other panelists. As a young
person, she quickly learned about the
challenges that came with being undocumented. Until she was able to get a work
visa, she couldnt do things that teens
A7
usually do including driving, going to

movies or even going to space camp because she wasnt able to acquire an ID due
to not having a Social Security number.
I didnt understand the reality that I
was facing, Silva told the crowd. Even
then I remember having a little bit of a
sense of privilege because I said, Well, I
speak English. Undocumented people
dont speak English, I do.

Kyle Sharp, president of the UNR Young

Democrats of UNR, expressed a similar
sentiment.
We are a nation that welcomes. We are a
nation that protects, Sharp said.
Sharp also stated he fully supports refugees being allowed into Reno as long as they
are subject to intense security measures.
The well-being of American citizens and
the protection from terrorism is one of the
chief concerns when it comes to allowing
refugees inside the borders. In response,
Sharp stated we should not shut out another country because we are afraid of a small
minority of people living in that nation.
In 2015, President Obama committed to
bringing over 10,000 Syrian refugees into
the United States. Democratic presidential
front-runner Hillary Clinton announced on
Face the Nation that she would like to see
the U.S. move the number of refugees from
what is a good start at 10,000 to 65,000.
However, on the other side of the aisle,
more than two dozen Republican governors
have publicly announced they will not allow
Syrian refugees to enter their states. Gov.
Bobby Jindal of Louisiana went as far as to
issue an executive order preventing refugees from being settled in his state. Despite
the strong stance by these governors, the
ultimate power to resettle refugees lies with
the federal government and the president.

To fully understand the motivation for allowing refugees into Reno it is important to
know what a refugee is. In the United States,
someone is declared a refugee only after
being identified by the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees in a refugee
camp. After being identified, to apply for
admission into the United States the refugee must declare and prove they are being
persecuted, or at risk of being persecuted,
for their race, religion, nationality, public
opinion or membership of a social group.
In 2016, more than 60 million people will
be displaced because of war and conflict
within their country. Despite the apparent
need for homes for these refugees, many
are still concerned about the vetting and
security measures.
Every refugee must go through rigorous
security and background checks before
entering the United States. The UNHCR
does the first round of security checks and
if they pass these initial tests, the United
States has various organizations that screen
them. Every refugee must be interviewed
by the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program
and have a background check by the FBI,
Department of Homeland Security, and
other government agencies.
If the individual, or anyone linked to
this individual, does not pass the vetting
criteria, this person is denied entrance.
The entire vetting process takes place with
the refugee outside of the United States
over the course of two to three years, but

the question remains: do the background
checks miss anything? According to the
CATO institute, out of the 859,629 refugees
admitted from 2001 onwards, only three
have been convicted of planning terrorist
attacks outside the United States, and none
were successful. To provide a comparison,
1 in every 22,541 Americans committed
murder just in 2014.
The United States already resettles more
refugees than any other country in the
world, and Reno could see an economic advantage from becoming a host for refugees.
According to Dr. Carina Black, executive
director of the NNIC, since refugees will be
supported by federal programs, bringing
refugees to Reno will actually bring more
federal dollars here.
Unlike in Europe, here refugees need
to become self-sufficient as quickly as
possible, so a number of programs exist to
assist them with these steps, Black said.
When asked why many people have
trepidation about placing refugees here,
she stated many are not knowledgeable
about the vetting process and how the
program has been in existence in the U.S.
since 1980.
The NNIC hopes to start hosting these
refugees as soon as June 2016.

Dr. Richard Williams answers questions involving space observation inside the Davidson Math and Science Redfield Auditorium on
Thursday, April 21. Williams is an astronomer who has worked with both NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Hubble
The Hubble Deep Field, which enabled us to look back in

this pencil beam, this core sample, back that far and see galaxies in various stages of formation was a real turn-on, Williams
said.
Williams and his colleagues were able to create the most
recent representation of the universe after improving the tools
on the Hubble Telescope. NASA and the STScl pushed things
another step further in 2004 when they disclosed the Hubble
Ultra Deep Field, a visual sample of a universe that was only
around 400 million years old. The estimated 10,000 galaxies
shown range between 800 million to 1 billion years old.
For Williams, thats another step in the right direction. Discoveries made through the Deep Fields and the recent discovery of gravitational waves, or ripples in the fabric of spacetime,
have made for some of Williams most exciting days as an
astronomer. However, other days that are packed with quiet
observation and waiting during uncontrolled experiments also
have their importance.
All of this is fascinating stuff, but it occurs over a long
timescale, Williams said. I wouldnt say that theres a whole
lot of excitement, but its like building something. Every once
in a while you find a problem, and when you solve that small
problem that can be exciting.
Williams most fulfilling days involve communicating what
he does know about the cosmos to others and learning about
discoveries that other scientists make. It explains his admiration of the gravitational waves detection by the twin Laser
Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories in Louisiana
and Washington state.
Discussing the future of space exploration and observation,
as well as the technological advancements that come along
with it is conversation fodder for Williams whos looking forward to looking past the Ultra Deep Field.
According to Williams, a solid theory on the structure of the
universe is one of the most important steps in getting past
the current barriers to telescopic space observation. As an
astronomer, Williams emphasizes in spectroscopy and novae
or exploding stars and nebular gas clouds. Its only fitting that
Williams goal lies at the theoretical origin of life itself where
things kicked off with a bang, the Big Bang.
The fact that we really have for the first time have a sense
of how all this is taking place, at least in the big picture, really gives us a unifying evolutionary picture of the universe,
Williams said addressing the crowd. We dont understand the
origin of life, but were getting somewhat confident that we
may start to understand these things in the next 10 to 20 years.
The humanitys role within the expansive celestial system
isnt quite clear. That being said, Williams says the picture is
coming together, but these things take time and effort in addition to extensive technological development. Interestingly
enough, its taking place in a significant way.
Hubbles successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, is the
future. The $8.8 billion device will use infrared tech to look
past a conglomeration of cosmic dust clouds that Hubble cant
see past. Whatevers behind the clouds may hold answers to
just how the universe came to be and where its headed. The
spacecraft is scheduled to launch in 2018.
Williams capped off the Discover Science Lecture series. He
and other lecturers have come to the UNR throughout the year
with research that dissects some of the planets mysteries as
well as the potential truths hiding behind cosmic dust. Some
people have even been able to connect many of the lecturers
ideas to their own field of study.
At least, thats the case for senior neuroscience major Michael Alvarado who says the series does a good job of finding
lecturers who make all kinds of new information accessible.
What I took away from this lecture in particular was even
the universe is an evolutionary phenomenon, Alvarado said. I
think thats pretty amazing to see that on a macroscopic scale.
Its interesting to see evolution not just as a life phenomenon.
For Alvarado, making associations between human life and
understanding the universes multitude of mysteries is natural.
He compares the brains neurons to tree branches and roots,
and believes the connection is deeper than just structural
similarity. Alvarado calls all human beings stardust.
Alvarado also believes that learning about the newest
technology being used to form those connections and explore
humanity, the planet and other celestial bodies is important.
The most mind-blowing thing from this whole lecture is
there possibly being a telescope that can look beyond the Big
Bang, Alvarado said. Doesnt that blow your mind, just uttering the words?
Williams left the crowd with a message of solidarity, which means

finding just where humans stand in the midst of everything happening in the universe. He touched on subjects that include the evidence
of the existence of life on other planets, something he hopes scientists
will find on Mars.
For now, he and his colleagues will continue trying to piece together
the universes seemingly infinitely pieced puzzle through the lenses of
powerful telescopes devices that act as the eye of humanity, peering
into, well, everything.

LEGISLATION
Senate rolls through fasttracked agenda in final
meeting of 83rd session
Though the Associated
Students of the University
of Nevada senate may yet
be too green to be putting
legislation through the senate chambers, there is still
plenty of business to be
done. That business took
the form of cabinet appointments last Wednesday as
ASUN President Brandon
Boone put his first set of
cabinet appointees before
the senate proper. All appointees must first face the
senate oversight committee,
who can either recommend
someone favorably or unfavorably.
First to the table was Kevin
Bezick, angling for the position of Blue Crew director.
While Blue Crew was once
part of programming, it
became its own department
with its own director just last
year. Bezick, whos worked
as a part of Blue Crew for the
past two years, had seen it
all and it was this experience
that won over the senate. He
was approved unanimously.
Also approved during the
meeting was ASUNs new
director of programming,
Casandra Hurdle, a chief
presidential aide in former
senator and budget and
finance chair Sebastian
Atienza, and a deputy chief
presidential aide in Victoria
Hudman. All of the nominees went before the senate
oversight committee, comprised of the speaker of the
senate and all the committee
chairs, who recommended
the nominees favorably.
The next slate of nominees, seven in total, is set
to appear before the senate
this week along with Boones
budget for the upcoming
fiscal year.

It may be that a combination of viewpoints could be the answer, but for Paul
Lenart of the Industrial Workers of the
World, education is the key to finding a
collaborative strategy.
What really impressed me was the intersectionality of different types of issues,
Lenart said. This is a labor issue, this is
a race issue, an anti white-supremacy
question. Its a matter of womens rights
issues.
At the end of the day, social justice
activists like Silva and Lenart are fighting
to help facilitate a better life for a large
working class made up of all types of different people. Theyre encouraging others
to actively join in.
Silva left the attendees with one message in light of the upcoming election
go out, be an active participant in the
political system and vote.
The federal government has not

paid a great deal of attention to that,
Choroszy said. There are specific
programs with specific rules. Pell has
some specific rules [and] some very
specific programs where we do look
very carefully, and there are other
rules in financial aid that catch you if
youre around too long.
Institutions were able to do this
largely because there was no easy
way for anyone, be it the institutions
themselves or the Department of Education, to track which credits a student
took and whether or not those credits
were relevant to their major.
However, with the ubiquitous use
of computers and enrollment software in the past decade, its become
easier for both parties to see what
classes students are taking. Specifically, Choroszy noted the existence
of certain buckets of courses that
could either be required courses,
elective courses or courses that dont
belong anywhere.
We are going to be held accountable for dispersing federal aid only
for those courses that count toward
your degree in one of those buckets,
Choroszy said.
She added that this regulation only
applies to federal standards, which
mark a full-time student at 12 credit
hours per semester. This is lower
than the universitys threshold of
15 credit hours, which means that a
student could get one classs worth
of leeway when it comes to getting

There is room for exploration;
there is room for extra credits for
other things that you may want to
do, Choroszy said.
The new rule is going to be phased
in, and the administration is looking
at implementing new technology to
ease the process. However, Choroszy
did note that the new rule has forced
the school to chart new territory.
This is a learning experience for
all of us, Choroszy said. Our goal
is to be as supportive as possible for
everyone, [but] since this is a new
thing that is on the DOEs audit list,
we dont really have a lot of experience with other foreign institutions
who would be in this situation.
Choroszy concluded her statement
before the senate by noting that
there will be more questions than
answers as the new regulation goes
into effect.

Panel
Silva found herself constantly having

to lie about why she couldnt do the
things her peers could do, but when her
grandmother passed away in 2009 and
she couldnt travel to Mexico to see her,
she couldnt accept the system for what it
was. Her grandmothers passing became
the catalyst for a career in social justice
and activism.
When that happened, I heard for the
first time about DREAMers, Silva said.
Id heard about these students who grew
up here and couldnt go to school and I
was like, Whoa, I belong to this. There are
other people who are like me.
In 2014, Pew Research Center reported
that undocumented or unauthorized immigrants make up around 3.5 percent of
the U.S. population nearly 11 1/2 million people. The demographic growth has
stabilized since reaching an apex in 2007.
Now people like Silva and other activists

are dedicated to combating several facets
of undocumented life that make living in
the states tasking.
Progressive activists like Silva arent
just facing foundational struggles; theyre
facing off against people with opposing
views as well. Fiery rhetoric seeped into
the current election cycle has exposed a
deep divide between those welcoming of
less restrictive immigration policies and
amnesty and those wary of a large undocumented population and the potential
negative impacts on the job market.
One fear the panelists pointed out
was a fear of losing friends, colleagues
and members of their families through
deportation.
This, among other issues, was a focal
point of the discussion. Although exploits
including the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals and President Obamas
2014 executive order that expanded
deportation relief to around 50 percent
of undocumented people have calmed

some immediate worries, the panel was

focused on long-term solutions solutions that can only be reached by a united
front.
Although the panel had a lack of actual
plans for transforming current immigration policies, there are some popular progressive stances. Democratic presidential
candidate Bernie Sanders has stated he
would implement some form of executive
action that would rework the visa system
and also dismantle inhumane deportation programs.
On the opposite side of the spectrum,
Republican front-runner Donald Trump
has consistently stuck to his plan to
tighten border control with a reinforced
wall. Opponent Ted Cruz has said he
would also introduce measures that
would stomp out illegal immigration.
The point that became increasingly
evident during the panel was the intricacy
of the national immigration conversation
and how there are aspects from both sides
of the spectrum that could be employed.

ed the Nevada Museum
Teen Art Night attracts largest audience ever

By Blake Nelson
The Nevada Museum of Art is one of Nevadas
most prestigious institutions open to the public,
but last weekend it was opened to Renos teenagers. The event was titled Teen Art Night, but
could more aptly be described as a complete
teen takeover of Renos only art museum.
Teens flooded the museum, visiting craft
tables hosted by local artists such as Casey Clark,
Henry MacDiarmid and Tim Conder, while
also being able to tour the museums exhibits.
Local bands Pecan Dream and Applied Ethics
performed to an excited and energetic audience,
and in between sets DJs played crowd favorites.
The event, which is the product of a partnership with The Holland Project and the Nevada
Museum of Art, usually only hosts about 500
teens and non-teens, but this year the attendance swelled beyond recent years. The growth
was due to years of molding the event to fit best
with the community.
I think [Holland and NMA] finally figured
out the date that makes the most sense for most
of the teens and students in Reno, said Britt
Curtis, director of The Holland Project And this
year definitely showed us that our little formula
worked.
And it worked well; this years Teen Art Night
boasted nearly 700 people in attendance, more

than any other year. The teens in attendance got
to experience the museum in a relaxed and sociable atmosphere, all while being able to enjoy
snacks and live music.
This year also featured more hands-on booths
and volunteers than previous years, allowing
those in attendance to learn and create small
crafts to take home.
Originally beginning in 2008, the event was
similarly designed with craft booths and DJs, but
was set to the theme of Valentines Day with the
title Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. In years to come the
event would grow and change dates, themes and
names.
Although Teen Art Night has grown throughout the years, the goal has stayed the same the
event is specifically aimed at opening the museum and the museums exhibits to teens. This
years theme was horses, based on the featured
exhibit called The Horse. Booths mirrored the
theme with features like leather stamping and
finding out what your name would be if you
were a horse, both booths proving to be popular
among the attendees.
The unprecedented growth made the atmosphere that night feel almost like a crowded
party, with clusters of people dancing and music
playing over the top of chatter. The ground
floor of the museum, which held a large part

of the event, was filled with people. Beyond the
immediate impact of the larger attendance, the
growth has implications on the future of the
event as well.
The museum is so big that weve always worried about making sure the event feels cozy and
intimate, said Curtis. So there are lots of rooms
and nooks and crannies we didnt really utilize
this year, that the event can grow into.
As part of The Holland Projects never-ending
desire to create a meaningful experience for
Renos youth, next years event will have a different theme with more booths and more live
musicians, as well as an expansion into more
parts of the museum to accommodate the larger
volume of attendees.
It seems that as far as accommodating creativity and fun events is concerned, the future of
Renos teens is in good hands.
If anyone is interested in volunteering for next
years Teen Art Night or for The Holland Project
of the Nevada Museum of Art, both institutions
are always willing to incorporate people from
the community into events. You can reach either
one at their respective websites or on Twitter.

Everybody Wants Some!! feels more like blase than the '80s
By Blake Nelson
Richard Linklater proclaimed
Everybody Wants Some!! a
successor to both Dazed and
Confused and Boyhood,
something that immediately
made me start sweating. Both
of those films are arguably his
most memorable and saying a
thing like that would only draw
more comparison. But alas, the
past is the past and you cant
take something back from the
past, a strange coincidence
about a film that is set in (you
guessed it) the past but lets
get back on topic.
I would best compare this
film to Dazed and Confused
set in the '80s, but this might
mislead you. Although this
film has Linklaters signature
meandering storytelling style,
it seems that some of the introspective spirit of Dazed and
Confused is missing. It is most

likely the lack of originality in
doing something very similar
to Dazed and Confused, or
maybe this film represents
the '80s less than Dazed and
Confused represents the '70s.
All over the internet this film
is being heralded as an accurate representation of being
a youth in the 1980s. Besides
some famous songs of the time
being played and the existence
of no cellphones in the movie,
this film could have been set
in the present time period
but before every older reader
screams out that Im just millennial scum, let me defend
this point.
What exactly happens in the
film? Some college kids party,
have sex and play baseball. So
far, none of this is exclusive to
the 80s. Even some of the more
particular scenes that could
be considered to be exclusive
arent very '80s; the disco
scenes could have just been a
club scene set in todays time.
Also, when the crew goes to a
punk show seems very similar
to the youthful punk shows
that still occur to this day.
Maybe there is less novelty in
punk today than there was in
the '80s, but only a passing remark is made about the allure
of being a punk in '80s.
Beyond the inconsequential
time period in which the film
is set, this movie just seems to
offer a Linklater-style film that
follows some college students
around. This isnt necessarily a
bad thing; sometimes I prefer
the non-eventful style of Linklaters directing, but this film
doesnt do it for me like some
of Linklaters other movies. In
Linklaters other films, when
people arent doing things it is
still interesting because some

sort of commentary is being
made. This film goes for that
style, but ends up with some
half-hearted commentary on
winning and being a baseball
player.
Even when the characters
are doing things its just OK,
the acting is fine, the dialogue
is fine and the story arch is
predictable. The film ends
fairly well, right when the first
class of the semester begins,
but overall the film plays it safe
and hardlymakes a lasting impact on the viewer like Dazed
and Confused or Boyhood
might. In the end, in perfect
millennial fashion, I was less
disappointed by the film than I
was indifferent about it.

North Carolina and Mississippi give America a bad look

Deals of segregation
and hate have no place
in the statehouse
n Friday, President Barack

Obama said that the
anti-LGBT laws passed
in Mississippi and North
Carolina should be overturned in a
joint press conference with British Prime
Minister David Cameron.While the
move was certainly an effort to save face
internationally, it also makes a point to
the American people that such blatant
injustice shall not stand.
In Mississippi, the bill HB 1523 allows
businesses and public employees to
discriminate against LGBT people and
protect three religious beliefs. These
beliefs are that marriage is between a
man and a woman, sexual relations
should only occur within a heterosexual
marriage and biological sex cannot be
changed.
Now we fully agree that no one should
have something they dont necessarily
care for pushed onto them, but how
could you pass a bill that infringes on
someones sexuality, a trait they simply
cant control? The assumption that its

OK to disenfranchise a group of people
based upon their sexuality is no better
than segregation or the age-old (and
repugnant) idea that skin color dictates
the success and equality of individuals in
what is supposed to be a free nation.
People are calling the anti-LGBT bill
in North Carolina the most hateful law
passed in the past decade. Gov. Pat
McCrorys anti-LGBT HB 2 eliminates
existing municipal non-discrimination
protections for LGBT people and prevents any protection from being passed
by cities in the future. It also prevents
transgender students in public schools
from using restrooms that coordinate
with their gender identity.
HB 2 also compels the same type
of discrimination against transgender
people to take place in publicly owned
buildings, including in public universities, major airports and convention
centers. Even further, HB 2 takes away
the ability to sue under state employment non-discrimination law on the
basis of any protected characteristic,
including race, religion, national origin
and sex.
Lawmakers passed the legislation with
no hesitation in a single-day session,
and McCrory quickly approved it on

March 23. Now, the discriminatory law
is facing legal backlash. North Carolina
Attorney General Roy Cooper said he
will refuse to defend it in court. During
an interview, Cooper commented HB 2
is a national embarrassment, and went
on to say that it will set North Carolinas
economy back if we dont repeal it.
Local businesses in both states have
already received major backlash due to
the bills. On April 20, the Foreign Office
in Britain issued an advisory for lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender travelers
going to the two states based on the
laws, and rightfully so.
Celebrities, musicians and even
private industry have also publicly stated
they will not be visiting the states due to
the hateful connotations surrounding
the new laws in hopes to influence the
same behavior throughout the globe.
With the basis of these two bills
heavily surrounding the idea of religious
beliefs, are legislatures staying true to
the ideals to our Founding Fathers? The
First Amendment states Congress shall
make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof.... It sure sounds like the
lawmakers in North Carolina are trying
to accommodate for a specific group of

religious beliefs and sneakily trying
to infringe on every Americans right to
be who they are. These bills are absurd.
They are some of the most outwardly
discriminatory legislation to be passed in
recent memory, and their mere existence
is an affront to a nation that so prides
itself on being the land of the free. To
the people that are affected by this first
hand, we apologize. We appologize that
you are facing implications based off
moronic laws that were passes on the
basis of a lack of understanding and
intolerance that shouldnt be acceptable.
To the legislatures in North Carolina and
Mississippi, shame on you. Shame on
you for targeting the rights of individuals
on the basis of their sexuality and sexual
identity. Maybe if you spent as much
energy in getting to understand the
LGBT+ community as you did into the
hateful bills you created and passed,
youd come to your senses and see that
not everyone is cut from the same cloth.
Thats the theoretical beauty of
America, that people of all colors,
creeds, denominations and sexual
identities can live together in harmony
protected under the same law. Unfortunately, its never been the case. Even
though the nation has taken significant

strides toward equality in recent
decades, its laws like this that make the
American dream even more elusive for
anyone that doesnt fit a conservatives
outdated moral narrative.
The Nevada Sagebrush asks you to
stand up for what is right. You do not
need to support the LGBT community,
you dont even need to like them, but
you should respect your fellow
Americans right to humanity, regardless
of sexualiy or sexual identity. We have
lost too many people at the mercy of
feeling different or being told they arent
accepted by society due to something
they have no control over.
To the people who support these bills
put yourself in the shoes of an individual
in the LGBT community and think
about all of the hatred and discomfort
that person is feeling. Have you ever
thought that maybe they arent the
problem, but youre insecure, ignorant
views are? The reality is that we are all
Americans, and as such we all deserve
the same rights.

Government distrust breeds anti-establishment candidates
ow more than ever it

seems like there is a large
distrust of government and
elected officials. People are
angry, but more importantly, people
are scared. Republicans decry the acts
of President Obama
and the passing of
the Affordable Care
Act. They have openly
threatened (and are
currently following
through with that
threat) to not hear the
presidents nominee
for the Supreme Court
Will
vacancy. Democrats,
Yepez
for their part, have
been equally unwilling
to work in a bipartisan fashion. All of this
bickering and distrust is a consequence
of the narrowing race for the presidential

nominee.
While neither the Republicans nor
the Democrats are in the right on every
issue, the voters should think twice
before choosing an anti-establishment
candidate. If you think Congress and
the president arent doing enough now,
wait until a candidate with little to no
political experience is elected. The idea of
being against the establishment is mere
propaganda to gain votes. Donald Trump
claims to be outside the establishment of
politics (even though he has given money
to several candidates), but what if the
Republican National Committee starts
to support him? Is he still not part of the
establishment? If he is elected president,
is he part of the establishment then? The
tag anti-establishment is only used in
the run for the nomination because at a
certain point, every elected official must

become experienced, and thus part of the
establishment.
People all over the United States are
upset with Washington, D.C., and are
trying to send a message by backing
these so called anti-establishment
candidates. Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and
Bernie Sanders all hail under this title
and have used it to gain popularity. But
is this really what is best for the United
States? Are people who openly claim to
be separate from the establishment the
people we want to work for us? No. The
person elected president should have
extensive experience in the public sector
and have made connections he or she can
use for the good of the American people.
Having extensive knowledge of the inner
workings of government doesnt make
you an insider; it makes you effective.
The office of the president, in its

simplest form, is just a job. You are paid
a salary, take vacations and have certain
obligations to fulfill. Like any other job, a
person should be qualified and experienced to apply for this position. However,
this years primaries and caucuses have
been systematically weeding out those
most qualified and most experienced to
be the next president of the United States.
The public is left with the remaining
options: Sen. Cruz, largely disliked by his
colleagues for not working well with others; Donald Trump, a wealthy businessman who throws out empty promises
and incites rage within his supporters;
Gov. Kasich, who most people wonder
why he is still running being that his
following is slim; Hillary Clinton, largely
distrusted and haunted by allegations
about Benghazi; and finally Sen. Bernie
Sanders, the democratic socialist who has

promised to give the American people all
the free stuff we could possibly want.
Has government really become that
corrupt that we turn to such radical
hopefuls like Sanders or Cruz? I dont
think so. The party is blamed on both
sides for supporting an establishment
candidate over an outsider, but why? If
the American people are honestly ready
to nominate a businessman with no
political experience to the most important office in the United States, I think
America needs all the help it can get.
Being part of the Washington establishment does not mean you are corrupt; it
means you are experienced.

aturday night and youre feeling right.

The downtown Reno bar scene is
alive and thriving. Drinks are steadily
flowing and good times are definitely
being had by all. But eventually, after hearing
Cant Feel My Face for the sixth time, The
Weeknd isnt the only one going numb. If this
wasnt a sign enough the night should come to
an end, your roommate has
inevitably entered that part of
the night where she thinks its
a good move to text her ex.
Logically you decide its best
for all parties if you turn in
for the night.
You cant tell if youre too
lazy to make the trek home
or if youre just downright
Ali
drunk. But whats the
Schultz
difference right? The time has
Schultz Happens come, my friend. Request an
Uber.
Your phone screen illuminates with the fleet
of cars in your area as you patiently await your
fate.
Then BAM! Chad, who drives a black Honda
Civic, is at your beck and call, just a mere four
minutes away. Before you even get in the Uber,
you feel like you already know so much about
Chad. Aside from knowing the make, model
and color of his car, you know Chad has an
impressive 4.8 stars and a profile picture that
looks like it was taking during a J.C. Penney
personal photo spread. We can all already take
a pretty educated guess on the kind of guy
Chad is.
Despite the lack of style Chad may or may
not have, he is the captain of your Uber
ship, The commander on the SS Uber. He is
the assurance that you and your (less than
composed) roommate are going to get home
in one piece.
But first, in order to assure this ride is
smooth sailing, you must know there is an
unspoken etiquette in the Uber ride youre
about to venture on.
First off, an unwritten rule is that you must
apologize. We still are unsure why this trend
is an Uber-mannerism must have, but think
about it. After a long night have you ever gotten into an Uber, taxi or lyft and didnt initially
open up with a Hey, uh yeah Im so sorry.
Uber drivers everywhere, although puzzled
by your unprovoked apology, serve as a great
conscience clearer. Im guessing this apology
stems from a subconscious need to right
wrongs such as singing Mariah Carey at Cal
Neva karaoke or the six rounds of $15 drinks
you spent at St. James. Either way the apology,
although completely unnecessary serves as a
fresh start and opens the doorway for a clear
conscience and entryway into the rest of the
Uber journey.
Once in the Uber one of the worst things
you can do is remain quiet. This is a perfect

opportunity to practice your conversational
skills with strangers. I know at times it almost
pains you to not exclaim your unwavering
love for Uber while bashing every cabbie in
a 100-mile radius, but for the love of God try
to refrain from your drunken proclamation of
Uber love. This is probably the most generic
conversation Uber drivers hear every time
someone gets in their car. For Chads sake,
dont beat a dead horse.
Instead, maybe politely inquire on whether
or not Uber serves as their full-time job or
just a side gig. It is human nature for others to
enjoy talking about themselves. And lets face
it, after the amount of gin and tonics youve
probably just guzzled down, its safer Chad
does the talking anyway. But in all sincerity,
this segue into this conversation can be a great
way to network. Many Uber drivers have other
careers. In my personal experience, I have had
Uber drivers that manned yachts, invented
online poker apps and used to limo drive for
some of Hollywoods most lavish celebrities.
Who knows what your drivers day job is? It
doesnt hurt to strike up that conversation.
Who knows maybe you will have a valuable
business card by the end of your ride.
Another huge Uber no-no is assuming
position as co-captain during your expedition
when you dont know your ass from your
elbow when it comes to directions. And
instead of telling your driver on three separate
occasions that he missed a turn because you
are too busy regrettably tweeting your nights
play-by-play. Do Chad and yourself a favor and
let MapQuest take the lead here.
For those of you are versed in Ubers you
know that some offer special amenities such
as tissues, a candy bowl filled with undesirables and in some cases if youre really lucky,
the Uber driver will even have an aux cord. It
is blessing enough if the Uber driver recognized radio stations can be less than average,
making the aux cord a mans best friend. But
dont take advantage of this luxury. Refrain
from playing the first 30 seconds of six of your
favorite pop songs. Choose confidently and
with thoughtful caution that you will be able
to make it through the song. This is not only
an Uber etiquette, but any car trip common
courtesy.
Uber is a convenient service that can be
a fun little experience if done the right way.
But Ubering is a craft. Avoid basic questions,
keep the Biebs off the aux cord and be fully
attentive when giving directions. Make sure
to leave a comment if you have an enjoyable
experience and most importantly, dont forget
to generously star your driver.

U

as a legitimate candidate for the
presidency of the United States.
Say what you want about Trump, but
the man is polarizing; you either love
him or you hate him. Hes dominated family dinner
conversations across

year, and its not your
typical well-behaved

ideas are evoking

who arent typically

Your uncle loves
Rieger
his willingness to
say what everyone
is thinking and your mom thinks
hes Hitler reincarnate. University
of Nevada, Reno, political science
professor Kevin Banda, who specializes
in public opinion and campaigns, put
it simply.
Hes interesting. He gets peoples
attention.
But for all the attention Trump has
received, is anyone actually aware of
his policies? Trump supporters are
refreshed by his apparent honesty and
disregard for political correctness.
His adversaries are offended by his
disrespect toward minority groups and
anyone whos against him. But what
is his economic strategy? What are his
thoughts on free trade? How does he
plan to combat ISIS? Are any of his
ideas feasible?
About a month ago, a friend of mine
who supports Trump encouraged me
to research his policies. Go read his
policies, I think you would like them.
So I did, with the goal of objectively
understanding his ideas better. But
Im not going to pretend Im smart
enough to understand each one of his
suggestions, what sort of impact they
will have on the country and whether
or not theyre realistic.
Conveniently, I live less than a mile
away from a Tier One university filled
with experts in all the fields that have
to do with Trumps policies. Who better
to ask about those ideas and potential
policy changes than the people who
have spent their adult lives studying
and researching those industries?
My goal was to remain unemotional
and totally objective so that the only
opinions I wrote down were quotes
spoken from professors who have the
educational backbone to be opinionated.
Ive broken down Trumps
policies and potential impact on the
United States into four sections: the US
economy, international trade, politics
and ISIS.
THE UNITED STATES

ECONOMY
Before diving into Trumps proposed
economic policies, I want to address
a popular question: does Trumps
business acumen qualify him to
understand and manage the economy?
Hes built casinos, golf courses, hotels
and other properties. He attended the
Wharton School of Business, one of the
best business schools in the world, and
is worth a reported $4.5 billion.
But does owning businesses qualify
Trump to understand and manipulate
the economy? I asked the same question to University of Nevada professor
Federico Guerrero, who earned a Ph.D.
in economics from the University of
Maryland.
The ability to be a good policymaker and the ability to run a business
may have some elements in common,
but in the macro economy, it basically
has zero correlation between one and
the other, Guerrero said.
Let me give you an example of the
fallacy that the country can be run
like an enterprise, like a company. If a
company goes through trouble, what
does the manager need to do? Basically
go through restructuring. Slash costs,
lay people off, reduce salaries and so
on. When the economy is in recession,
which is equivalent to a company
running into trouble, the government
has to do the opposite of that because
when the economy is in a recession
the private sector is in the mood
Hes

for spending less. But any persons

expenditures are another persons
income, so if we ask the government to
act like a corporation and tighten the
belt, the only thing it will do is deepen
the recession. The economy doesnt
run on profitability, it runs on GDP and
jobs, and applying the same principles
is a killer. By forcing the government to
balance the budget during a recession,
the only thing youre doing is deepening the problem.
Professor Rahul Bhargava, who
earned a Ph.D. in finance from Texas
A&M, reiterated how different a business and an economy are in nature.
As a firm you can file for bankruptcy,
and a lot of Trumps firms have filed
for bankruptcy, and he can start over
again, Bhargava said. A country cant
start over again. We cant just say OK,
were 80 trillion in debt, lets file for
bankruptcy and start from scratch.
Governments are not profit driven;
firms are profit driven. Managing those
two are very different.
So maybe a business and the U.S.
economy arent quite the same, but
people have held positions in office
without political experience before.
Ronald Reagan was an actor before
he was elected governor of California.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was a
weightlifter, actor and businessman
before being elected to the same
position. There isnt a cookie cutter
career path to managing an economy,
in fact, politicians are typically looked
down upon for spending their careers
in politics. That being said, lets look at
Trumps economic policies.
Trump has three primary areas of
interest regarding the US economy:
lower national debt, lower the corporate tax rate and lower the income tax
rate. He also has some policies outside
of economics, like immigration, that
will also have an economic impact.
Lets begin with national debt, which
is something most conservatives
are uncomfortable with and have
addressed during their campaigns. The
United States national debt currently
stands at about $19.2 trillion, a figure
that has risen by $8.5 trillion since
Obama took office. But what is the
issue with national debt? Why does it
hurt the United States economy?
Long term, the danger is people will
not want treasury bonds,Bhargava
said. And if they start to sell treasury
bonds interest rates will go up, and
if interest rates go up well get into a
recession. So if foreigners hold our
treasury bond, which is the debt, thats

the risk. If we own it our self, then
really foreign powers cant do anything
to us.
So do investors still have confidence
in the United States? Is the U.S. at an
unsafe level of debt?
People have confidence in the US
dollar, Bhargava said. As long as
people have faith in the U.S. dollar, it
really wont make any difference. And
the U.S. has the assets and natural
resources so that we can support this
level of debt. We are a huge country.
Weve got huge resources. Weve got
huge technology. I dont see it as that
big of a problem. As long as our GDP
grows we are fine.
Federico PHD, went as far to say that
debt is a necessary evil for a growing
economy.
As long as the debt grows slower than
GDP, it is not only good, but absolutely
necessary to have increasing debt,
Guerrero said. What we cannot do
is go to ratios of debt to GDP that are
enormous.
Guerrero also mentioned that as
long as the United States is using debt
to become more productive, it is well
worth it.
We simply have to analyze what
do we take debt for, what is the cost
of that debt, and what are the benefits
of that debt,Guerrero said. When
President Eisenhower decided to create
the system of national highways, the
US had a ratio of national debt to GDP
of 130 percent of GDP, higher than
today. Instead of President Eisenhower
saying we are too much into debt and
we shouldnt do this, he challenged
Americans by saying we are Americans,
we are going to do this because its
in the benefit of our country and the
benefits that come with this project far
outweigh the interest payments that
this project will require, so well simply
do it. And if we analyze the thing in
retrospect, after he did that we had a
long period of growth that was much
Screenshot from DonaldJTrump.com.
faster than the interest payments. As a

consequence, the share of debt to GDP
declined.
Trumps second economic policy
is to lower the corporate tax rate (the
tax rate businesses pay) from approximately 40 percent to 15 percent. Trump
claims this will discourage US businesses from taking their operations out
of the country in order to avoid high
corporate tax. Trump also claims this
will provide significant GDP growth
and better wages for workers. Bhargava
was skeptical about how realistic that
plan is and the effect it would have on
national debt.
If you lower the taxes then you have
to lower [government] spending,
Bhargava said. Thats going to lower
your revenues a lot. What programs
are you going to cut? People complain
about certain programs, but if you look
at the dollar amount as a percentage
of the US budget, theyre not that big.
Are you going to cut military, education, social security? I dont think its
feasible, we dont have that much room
in spending.
Guerrero reiterated his colleagues
point about how realistic a 15 percent
corporate tax would be.
If you lower corporate tax youre
going to be losing budget revenues,
Guerrero said. Reducing the corporate
tax rate dramatically requires either an
increase in revenues in some other way
or a significant reduction in expenses.
I couldnt agree with his proposal the
way it seems to be now.
Trumps final economic policy is a
new income tax plan composed of four
brackets that eliminate the marriage
penalty. Trump has stated that he
believes income tax is too high and
its suppressing individuals and the
country as a whole from growing.
Trumps lowest rate is 0 percent,
offered to single individuals earning
less than $25,000 and married couples
making less than $50,000. Those
two groups make up over 73 million
households. The highest income rate is
25 percent, paid by single individuals
making more than $150,000 and
married couples making over $300,000.
Bhargava wasnt concerned with
the removal of income tax for lower
income earners, but was concerned
with a 25 percent rate for high income
earners.
At the low end, the tax collection
from that group of individuals [the
0 percent bracket] is not that high
anyway, said Bhargava. What about
people that are making 200 to 300
million a year? Do we still tax them
at 25 percent? Thats something that
would start to make a difference. Your
collections will go down. Until you cut
spending, there are only two choices
governments have: raise taxes or print
money. Printing money is inflation
and that hurts everyone. Raising taxes

in a particular bracket only hurts that
group.
Guerrero repeated Bhargavas
concerns about a decrease in budget
revenues, but unlike Bhargava, Guerrero was concerned with lower income
earners not paying income tax.
From the fiscal point of view were
going to lose revenue, Guerrero said.
The budget deficit is going to be
bigger than it is now, meaning the
debt is going to grow faster, which is
self-defeating. The other thing that
worries me is by making two out of
eight groups not pay a penny will only
enforce the idea that taxes are for
some, but not for all. Thats the most
important source of a tax, that we feel
the burden is on all of us not some of
us.
Guerrero also pointed out that
lowering tax rates doesnt necessarily
mean the economy will grow.
When the marginal rate of
taxation was 91 percent under Eisenhower, the economy did not stagnate at
all,Guerrero said. Theres no simple
correlation between marginal tax rate
and economic growth.
Both Bhargava and Guerrero feel Trumps income tax plan will
vastly reduce tax revenues and increase
national debt, which is interesting
because Trump has made decreasing
national debt a main priority. Professor
Guerrero also mentioned there is no
correlation between lower income
taxes and economic growth, although
Trump feels otherwise.
Immigration has obviously been
a focal point for Trump during his
campaign and while it doesnt fall
under his economic policy, it will have
economic implications. Trump plans
to strengthen immigration laws, return
immigrants that have committed
crimes to their native countries and
end birthright citizenship. Birthright
citizenship allows illegal immigrants
who were born in the US to be citizens.
The Pew Hispanic Center estimates
that 7.5 percent (about 300,000 births
per year) of all births in the US are to
unauthorized immigrants. The obvious
question is what would be the effect
of instituting Trumps plan of revoking
the citizenship of those births and
strengthening immigration laws in
general?
Stopping immigration, that would
be devastating because we do want the
best brains in this country, Barghava
said. The one I bring up because
everyone knows is Elon Musk. Hes
South African. We wouldnt have Tesla
without him; we wouldnt have SpaceX
without him. Do you really want to
shut out the brains of the world?
Thats what the U.S. is built on.
Either you produce your own talent,
or you import the best talent in the
world. The U.S. has been very good
since WWII at getting the best talent
from the world. Because if you think
about it, the people that immigrated
here early in the 1900s, they came by
ship. There was no going back to their
families ever, so they were extremely
risk-taking, driven, motivated people.
So most immigrants that come, they
are extremely hungry, hard-working,
motivated people.
Guerrero hit on the trade relationship between the US and Mexico,
and the potential harm eliminating
immigration would cause.
Mexico is our third largest trading
partner behind Canada and China,
Guerrero said. Youre cutting off the
flow of workers. For many of the jobs
like picking fruit and gardening and
construction work and so on, we will
be deprived of a significant number
of workers. That means wages will
have to go up to persuade American
born citizens to do those jobs. This
is assuming it works. If its effective it
should benefit blue-collar workers by
raising the wage. Labor economists
dont agree for the most part that it
will work. Cutting off trade is seldom a
good idea.

Wolf Pack baseball spirits are at an all-time high after its

most recent series victory over the Air Force Falcons. The Pack
claimed two victories over the course of three games at Peccole
Park over the weekend.
Nevada and Air Force played a tight first game of the series, as
the Pack slightly edged out the Falcons, winning the game 6-5,
following a sacrifice fly hit by Bryce Greager. Nevada may have
let its early win go to its head, as the Wolf Pack went into the
night game exuding confidence, but was unable to back it up
with its play. In Nevadas 12-7 loss to the Falcons, the game was
relatively close until innings seven through nine. As the Wolf
Pack headed into the sixth inning, sophomore Jordan Pearce
scored a two-run RBI double which brought Nevada within one
run of the Falcons. However, the possibilities of a comeback
would be quickly silenced, as Air Force would go
on to scoring a home run in each of the next
three innings. This would be the first time
all season that the Pack would allow any
team to hit five home runs.
With the nightfall game in the books,
the series was at a stalemate. April 24
was the end-all, be-all game of the
series, as Nevada looked to bounce
back from an uncharacteristic loss.
With roughly 1,800 fans in the stands
at Peccole Park, Air Force would take an
early advantage, leading 2-1 as the Pack headed into the third
inning. Nevada would quickly gain traction during the third
inning, where Nevada took the lead and never looked back. In
the bottom of the fourth, junior Trenton Brooks was relieved
from pitching by senior Cameron Rowland, after allowing seven
hits and four runs. Rowland would go on to pitch a near flawless
remainder of the game, allowing just two hits and no runs. Most
of Nevadas runs are attributed to Brooks, TJ Friedl and Greager,
as they each had two runs, taking advantage of their chances at
bat. The Pack went on to record a season high seven doubles in
its 8-4 triumph over the Falcons.
Nevada will host UC Davis today, April 26, at Peccole Park at 6
p.m.

TRACK & FIELD
Competitors at the Brutus
Hamilton Invitational, from April
22 to 23 in Berkeley, California,
experienced the wrath of the
Pack. The unrelenting members
of Nevadas track and field
team went on to take four
separate victories, in addition to
their seven top-three finishes.
Meagan Woods and Lindsey
Adams gave the team a huge
boost early as theyd place first
and second, respectively, in
the 1,500-meter. Junior Flyin
Olusola lived up to her first
name, as she flew past her
opponents during the hurdles
competition. Shed took first
place, crossing the finish line
at 14.02 seconds, nearly an
entire second before any other
challengers. The Pack would go
on to take two more victories in
both the javelin throw, by senior
Alyssa Zunino, and the shot put,
by freshman Brandi French.
WOMENS TENNIS
Nevada tennis suffered a
devastating defeat in Reno,
Nevada, on Saturday, at the
hands of Mountain West foe
Fresno State. The 41st-ranked
Bulldogs could care less whether
it was the Packs senior day, as
they routed Nevadas womens
tennis team in a 7-0 victory.
The most intense match of the
day would take place between,
Nevadas 62nd-ranked doubles
team comprised of Sheila
Morales and Blaga Delic,
squaring off against Fresnos
30th-ranked doubles team
consisting of sisters Rana and
Mayar Sherif Ahmed. The match
would go unfinished ending at
3-3, as the other two doubles
matches would finish, both going
in favor of Fresno State.

Tucson, Arizona, out of an

final team standing was
mediocre, sophomore Corey
Eddings nearly took first place

the final day with the lead,
but just fell short as Trevor
Clayton of Fresno State would
take first place. Nevadas head
coach, Jacob Wilner, stated
that playing with the lead in
golf is one of the hardest things

WHATS THE BIGGEST BENEFIT OF HIRING FORMER UNLV HEAD COACH DAVE RICE?
College basketball is all about recruiting, and Dave Rices
calling card was his ability to recruit top-tier talent. From
from his first class in 2012 to his final class in 2016,
Rice reeled in four 5-star and eight 4-star recruits.
With the addition of Rice, Nevada added former Cal
assistant coach Yann Hufnagel, who is also known for
being a high-profile recruiter. Wolf Pack head coach Eric
Musselman has quickly earned a reputation of being an
elite recruiter, but adding Rice and Hufnagel to the staff Neil Patrick
puts Nevadas recruiting ability over the top. Expect a Healy

assistant coach of the in-state rivals. Eric Musselman
has performed miracles in the past year and Rice is the

from Bishop Gorman High School where his brother is
the coach. If Musselman leaves in the next year or two,

Seau
On the other end of that transaction

is the college athletes themselves, one
of whom is Nevadas Ian Seau. Seau is
a 62, 250-pound senior defensive end
from Oceanside, California, whos played
for the Wolf Pack since his sophomore
season. Seau is one of the few, if not the
only, Nevada player who has an outside
chance of being drafted this season.
Seau has appeared in 37 games in his
three-year career at Nevada, finishing
with 100 tackles, 31 tackles for loss, 17.5
sacks and seven forced fumbles. He was
an All-Mountain West first team player
this past season and Nevadas most
dominant defensive player.
STRENGTHS
Seau has explosive quickness off the
ball and anticipates the snap very well
as a pass rusher. Although hes an undersized defensive end, Seau is a powerful
tackler and often leaves his feet to bring
down ball carriers. His smaller size allows him to be flexible and elusive in the
trenches.
He has two basic moves when rushing
the passer. Seau primarily uses a speed
rush where he tries to beat the offensive
lineman to the outside by anticipating
the snap count. His secondary move is
a swim or rip move back to the inside,
which is a productive counter to his
speed rush. He has an excellent motor
and refuses to stop pursuing until the
whistle blows, something hell need at
his size.
Seaus greatest advantage might be
the premium placed on pass rushers in
todays NFL. If you can get to the quarterback, a team will find a way to put
you on its roster, and Seau has proven

Cleveland Browns going to do wrong

this year? The Browns will be looking
to avoid their recent first-round failures
like quarterbacks Brandon Weeden and
Johnny Manziel, running back Trent
Richardson, linebacker Barkevious
Mingo and defensive tackle Phil Taylor
(only Mingo is still with the Browns).
Cleveland looks to be following the
Money Ball strategy that Paul DePodesta is introducing by trading the No.
2 overall pick for five draft picks over
the next three years (three in this years
draft) and looks to just have as many
picks as possible. The mood around the
league is that the Browns made the right
decision, but its still the Browns. This
organization is a tire fire on a good day.

tion skills, so pass coverage might be a

challenge, and certainly at the NFL level
there will be a learning curve.
His best shot in the NFL is probably
as a third-down rusher on a team that
employs a 3-4 defense. Hes a little stifflegged and therefore his technique has
to be excellent for Seau to remain on the
field. Hes not considered an excellent
tackler by scouts and isnt quite athletic
enough to play in space.

Notre Dame running back C.J. Prosise
comes into the draft with an interesting
story. He arrived in South Bend as a
safety before he moved to slot receiver,
where he played two seasons. After
being used effectively on reverse runs,
the coaches decided to use him sparingly at running back. In spring ball
he was listed as third string, but due to
one back leaving school and another
suffering an Achilles injury, Prosise
became the starter and thrived. In 10
games, he rushed for 1,032 yards and
11 touchdowns before being nagged
by injuries. He comes into the draft a
raw talent, but if he ends up in the right
system and has time to develop he can
become the modern-day NFL running
back. He is a good pass catcher due to
his days at receiver, is good size and has
breakaway speed. He is a project, but he

do in the league. At 6-foot-7 and 276
pounds, Gathers has NFL tight end
written all over him. He is just the latest
basketball player turned tight end in a
long line of success, which includes future Hall of Famers Antonio Gates and
Tony Gonzales and pro bowler Jimmy
Graham. Itll be interesting if a team
uses a sixth- or seventh-round pick on
him and see if he develops into a NFL
caliber player.

Despite a hard-fought series by the Pack, Nevadas
softball team fell to San Jose State University this
weekend in a 3-0 sweep by the Spartans.
Defensive miscues were the plague for Nevada in
game one as the Spartans took the first victory of the
three-game series, 11-1 on Friday. Freshman Brooke
Bolinger blanked San Jose in the first four innings,
but was shut down after striking out three. Senior
Megan Sweet hit her 10th double of the season, and
is now four away from tying the program record of
61. Bolinger created a quick 1-2-3 at the top of the
first, and freshman Kwynn Warner listed the first
hit of the day for the Pack on a single to left center.
Warner grabbed a quick double on an error by the
Spartans. Senior Jasmine Jenkins took the plate and
hit an RBI right up the middle, giving Nevada a 1-0
lead, the teams only runs of the game. Bolinger
worked herself out of a tight jam in the second, and
ended the third and fourth innings with strikeouts.
Unfortunately, the freshman couldnt keep the
Spartans down for long, as SJSU tallied three runs in
the fifth, five in the sixth and three more in seventh
to seal the win.
Nevadas Sweet hit two-for-four and an RBI, which
places her eight shy from tying the program record,
in game two of the series. Nevada couldnt hold on
to San Jose State and lost 12-4 on Saturday. Junior
McKenna Isenberg went five innings and struck out
three Spartans, while sophomore Aaliyah Gibson
grabbed her fifth triple of the season. San Jose came
out heated in game two, leading 8-0 entering the
bottom of the fourth.
Nevada tallied the beginning of its comeback
in the home half of the inning. Jenkins started
with a walk and sophomore Jennifer Purcell hit a
single down the right sideline. Junior Melissa Arriaga singled to left center field, and scored Jenkins
from second. Nevada had its first score of the game.
Sophomore Amanda Nicholas then came out and
was walked. With bases loaded and no one out, both
senior Amanda Weis and junior Raquel Martinez
earned RBIs by getting hit from the pitch. Sweet
stepped up to the plate and tallied an RBI single,
making the score 8-4. The Spartans continued to
attack Nevada, scoring two runs in the fifth and two
more in the seventh to end the game.
Game three was an absolute slugfest, but Nevadas efforts were not enough, as San Jose State
completed the sweep of the Wolf Pack, 12-8, on
Sunday. The Spartans took an early 7-0 lead in the
top of the fourth, but the Pack answered back in
the bottom half. Gibson hit a single up the middle,
which set up Sweets 12th home run of the season,
putting Nevada on the board, score 7-2. Junior Nikki
Orozco followed up Sweet with a single, then Purcell
stepped up to the batters run of the season, putting
Nevada on the board, score 7-2. Junior Nikki Orozco
followed up Sweet with a single, then Purcell stepped
up to the batters box and bombed a two-run home
run out of left center to make it a three-run game.
Sophomore pitcher Chase Redington came in as
the relief pitcher and delivered an easy 1-2-3 at the
top of the fifth. Nevada then tacked on three more
runs with an RBI single from Orozco and Purcell hit
another two-run home run, tying the game up at
seven all.
San Jose could not be held down, as it racked up
five runs in the top of the sixth to extend its lead
to 12-7. Sweet tallied her third RBI of the day that
brought home Martinez and made the score 12-8.
San Jose would retire Nevada, and end the ball game.
Nevada hits the road this week to take on Colorado
State for a three-game series.

THE
LONE WOLF
Where will linebacker Ian Seau
fall in the 2016 NFL draft?
n Thursday, April 28, the NFL

draft begins its three-day
frenzy, signaling the transition from NFL offseason to
preseason. Its a day filled with
excitement and hope, as every team
is searching for the next franchise
player to round out its roster.
Jack
Rieger
The draft is special because

every team in the league, no
matter how pitiful or spectacular,
participates in the carousel.

Teams on the fringe of Super
Bowl contention have a chance
to get the one player holding
them back, and teams in the
bottom third of the league are
looking for their quarterback of
the future to bring their team
back into relevancy.

NFL draft storylines to keep your eye on

By Neil Patrick Healy
eality television is one of the biggest

forms of entertainment in this country.
We have shows like Keeping Up With
the Kardashians that are enormously
popular for some reason. The sports world has
its own reality show: the NFL draft. Three days
of arguing over whos going to be a bust and
whos going to be a steal. Three days of siding
between the main characters, Mel Kiper Jr. and
Todd McShay, and which mock draft is most
accurate when neither is going
to be even close. Three days of
trying to analyze players from
hundreds of programs that
were convinced we know, but
weve only watched about 25
minutes of their game film.
Im not going to be a gasbag
and pretend I know the entire
draft, because no one really
Neil Patrick
knows whos going to be good
Healy
and who doesnt. Instead, here
are some interesting storylines
to follow and watch the character development
unfold. Lets get it on.
MOST INTERESTING TEAM:

TENNESSEE TITANS
The Titans are the team that comes into this
draft with the most assets. After trading the
No. 1 overall pick to the quarterback-deprived
L.A. Rams, Tennessee has nine picks overall
and six in the first three rounds in 2016, while
also acquiring the Rams first- and third-round
picks in 2017. With all of that capital, what is
Tennessee going to do? Keep swapping picks and
go trade crazy? Package those picks and move up
for someone the front office has been targeting
all along and just hasnt said anything? There are
so many interesting possibilities that Tennessee
could pull off that could make this a Herschel
Walker-like trade that turns the Titans around.
WHAT HAPPENS WITH JAYLON

SMITH?
Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith is a
storyline that is extremely captivating. Drawing
comparisons to LeBron James in terms of pure
athletic ability from Notre Dame head coach
Brian Kelly, Smith had one of the best seasons
by a Notre Dame linebacker in program history.
After racking up 114 total tackles, winning the
Butkus Award for best linebacker in the country
and earning consensus All-American honors,
Smith was widely considered a top-five pick

before injuring his knee in the Fiesta Bowl.
With a surgically repaired left ACL and the fear
of nerve damage, a top-five pick before the
injury will most likely fall out of the first round.
Which team will take advantage of a perennial
talent falling in its lap? Will he fall out of the
second round as well? Drafting Smith seems like
a total Patriots move, where hell basically be
redshirted for the entire 2016 season, but from
2017 on hed be a staple of the defense for the
next decade.
WHOS GOING TO REACH FOR A QB?

The classic move for NFL teams on draft
night is to reach way too high in the first round
for a quarterback who isnt ready to start right
away. 2016 will be no different, as the Rams
and the Eagles have moved up to the No. 1 and
No. 2 spots in the draft to gamble on potential
franchise quarterbacks. With those spots going to
Cals Jared Goff and North Dakota States Carson
Wentz (which QB goes where is still up for debate,
but consensus opinion says Goff is going No. 1
to L.A.), that leaves the rest of the NFL teams that
need a quarterback scrambling to find a plan B.
