South Koreans ready Zika-proof
uniforms for upcoming Olympics
The mysterious Zika virus and its
connection to microcephaly in babies and Guillain-Barr syndrome
in adults have shaken things up in
Brazil, and South Korean athletes
are taking measures to prevent
contracting the virus.
The countrys Olympic participants will wear uniforms that have
to ability to protect them from mosquitoes that may carry the disease.
The outerwear will be infused
with a repellent that should keep
the insects away, and athletes will
don long pants and blazers outside
of competition. Event kits, the actual competition clothing, will not
be infused.
The 2016 Summer Olympics are
less than 100 days away, and South
Koreas efforts underscore just how
dangerous Zika may be.
According to the BBC, doctors in
Brazil suspect the virus could be
linked to even more neurological
disorders, which could affect up to
a fifth of all the babies within the
countrys infected pregnant women.
The U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention has advised
pregnant women to stay away from
areas where the disease may be
prevalent, which includes much of
Latin America.

Teacher sickout causes closure
of nearly all Detroit schools
The Detroit Federation of Teachers called for the sick day of more
than 4,000 teachers after the Detroit
Public Schools transition manager
disclosed that the district wouldnt
be able to pay teachers this summer
without funding from the state.
More than 1,500 teachers ended
up participating Monday, causing
the closure of 94 of the districts
97 schools and forcing more than
45,000 students to miss classes.
Some teachers who live paycheck
to paycheck and opt to have their
pay spread out over a 12-month period have expressed their need for
pay after June 30, the day funding is
set to stop.
A lack of money will also prevent
classes and special needs programs
over the summer.
Republican Gov. Rick Snyder told
ABC News he hopes lawmakers,
who are considering a $720 million
restructuring plan, will make moves
before the end of the school year.

Clark County looks to ease
teacher shortage with veteran

Clark County School District is
facing a shortage of around 2,000
teachers. Theyre hoping to fill
some of those positions through
an accelerated teacher training
program for military veterans and
their spouses.
District officials say anyone
who will finish a military commitment by January 2017 and have a
bachelors degree in any subject
can apply for the expedited, stateapproved program.
Although the teacher shortage is
being worked on, the district is still
in need of 400 employees to place

CYBER-SQUAD
UNR journalism
professor hosts RSJ
crypto-party aimed at
teaching encryption
By Marcus Lavergne
More than 200 billion emails
were sent every day in 2015,
according to the independent
technology market research firm
The Radicati Group, Inc. The
number is expected to grow to a
little less than 250 billion emails
a day in 2019. Those emails are
being sent by more than 4 billion
email users.
The large number of those
emails flying through cyberspace isnt an issue by itself, but
in a time where cybersecurity is
becoming increasingly delicate
due to hackers and data-stealing
technology, those emails can
result in negative consequences
like the theft of personal information and spam accounts.
For journalism students at the
University of Nevada, Reno, the
chance to begin fortifying their
email security came last Friday.
Renos first crypto-party took
place in the Donald W. Reynolds
School of Journalism. The event
was hosted by assistant professor Ben Birkinbine, who believes
there are several steps people
should take in protecting their
personal data.
Birkinbines guest speaker,
assistant computer science professor Ming Li, revealed that out
of all the email traffic soaring
through their servers, 99 percent
is unprotected.
Whenever one of the servers
is compromised, attackers can
see and steal information, Li
said.
Strong evidence that private

here; his history is all over the university, a building was erected in his honor and he set the record
for longest-standing president. The remarkable
aspect lies in Crowleys ability to simultaneously
lead his life and let his life lead him.
Crowley attended two years at the University of
Iowa, but eventually dropped out to join the Air
Force, then eventually returned after his term
was finished.
After being a failure there, I still wanted to go
back to college, and I grew to love the college
life, Crowley said. Then I came to the University of Nevada, Reno, and stayed.
And now, over 25 years after coming to Reno,
Crowley has allowed life or life has allowed
him to publish a book of poetry. Crowley
doesnt necessarily know where he would
have gone if he had pursued poetry early on,
but he appreciates the experience that a long
life beforehand has given him.
The lesson here is not to worry too much
about where life takes you, and if your
passion is not apparent at first, just wait
and explore. Life seems to take its time,
not necessarily taking you where you want
to go at first. It took Crowley much of his
life to start to pursue one of his greatest
passions. If you havent found yours yet, at least youre in
good company.
Crowley doesnt have any definite plans to release
anything large anytime soon, but he intends to release a
shorter book sometime in the future. His current book,
Hats off to the Cap, can be picked up at Sundance.

Beyonc demands
respect on Lemonade
By Joey Thyne
Almost three months ago,
Beyonc, one of the biggest
superstars on the planet, polarized popular culture with her
Super Bowl appearance and
music video for Formation.
Both were an expression of her
feminine power and black pride.
Its exciting when artists of her
stature still take risks.
She must have understood
the unlikelihood of recreating
the pop excellence from her
last album. Instead, her music
on Lemonade takes a slightly
darker turn. The result is her
strangest, most vulnerable and
intriguing album to date.
The prevalent theme throughout the album is her apparently
tumultuous marriage with rap
mogul Jay Z, and referring to his
infidelities, the lyrics drip with
indignance. The album opens
with the words You can taste
the dishonesty / Its all over your
breath on Pray You Catch Me.
On Sorry, a song that could
have settled for a boring single
but is instead a haunting work
of art, she says, Looking at my
watch he shoulda been home /
Tonight I regret the night I put
that ring on / He always got
them fucking excuses / I pray
to the Lord you reveal what his
truth is.
It may be just pandering
to her fan base (see Single
Ladies). It may also be a conscious effort to create a spectacle in order to invoke memes
and lure more people into a
Tidal subscription. Regardless,
on songs like the frantically
rocking Dont Hurt Yourself
she seems genuinely pissed,

IT GOES BY FAST
It seriously feels like four days ago that
I was walking into Room 102 of Nye Hall
to start my freshman year of dormitory
debauchery, not four years. Three days
ago my college idols were walking across
the stage to receive their diploma, two
days ago it was the most intelligent
people Ive met and just yesterday it was
my best friend. How can it be that its
now my turn to be the one that others
are staring at on the big screen? My piece
of advice is to take advantage of every
moment. Time you enjoy wasting is not
wasted time.
THINGS CHANGE
The transition from the end of our
teens into our early 20s results in some
of the most dramatic, formative years we
will have in our whole life. What does this
mean? A lot will change from freshman
to senior year. This is a good thing. We
cant be a college freshman forever, no
matter what Kehoe says.
As we evolve as individuals, the people
we surround ourselves with will evolve as
well. Some of the people that I thought
would be in my life forever just three
years ago are now sort of an afterthought.
The other night I was having a conversation about this with one of my customers
at the bar, and he said something that
particularly struck me: regardless of the
longevity of a relationship that you have
with someone, we owe it to ourselves
to learn something from every person
we meet. There is no need for elongated
resentment; sometimes life will just take
people in two different directions. But if
we take the best qualities of each person
that we meet with us, we will become
better people. A strong person will accept
that things change over time and dream
of the possibility of a happier life.
Still, as things change around us
and as we change as people the few
that do stick around through it all, the
good and the bad, become absolutely
invaluable.
NOBODY IS PERFECT
Reality: even the person that we
least expect to will let us down. And

Youre thinking,
I have a paper
due at 9 a.m. and I havent done it
yet. I dont want to stay up. I need
to stay up. Im thinking, I cant
wait to stay up tomorrow night; this
is going to be fun!
All of my procrastinator friends
are waiting until the last second to
finish their work and we already
know were in it together. How fun
does being locked in a building on
campus with your friends all night
sound? The funniest moments
happen while the rest of you are
slumbering. With lack of sleep and
gross amounts of energy drinks
flowing through our blood, we all
get a little weird in the middle of
the night.
When the work is all done, theres
why bother voting at all? The millennial attitude toward voting has become
a self-fulfilling prophecy: were told
that we dont vote because we dont
care, and because thats all we hear we
stop caring, so we dont vote.
Jeff Daniels is wrong; were not the
worst generation ever, but we are in
one of the worst situations. Were
saddled with more student than any
other generation. Our debt money
is worth less than nearly ever before
and we have a hell of a time making
it. Were growing up with very real
and present effects of climate change.
Weve already grown up with one
recession and two wars, and the
political climate is more polarized
and less interested in creating a viable
future for our country. When we stand
up against it though, we get told to
sit back down. We dont have the life
experience to know what were talking
about, after all.
The millennial generation has been
chained up and locked into a chair at
the political kids table and told not
to join the adults conversation, and
though weve extended our hands and
asked for a turn to speak, the older
generations are often not willing to let
us join the discussion. Eventually, our
voices get tired and we just quit trying.
Its somewhat of a lose-lose situation.
Were either the apathetic millennials
who need to speak up and give a damn,
or were the ignorant millennials who
need to come back with opinions when
were older and smarter. I believe that
most millennials are ready to join the
political process; its time for the older
generations to welcome us in.

The Nevada baseball team, with its brand new 33-year-old
head coach Jay Bruce, may have reached a turning point in its
season this weekend.
The Wolf Pack swept the San Diego State Aztecs in a threegame series at Tony Gwynn Stadium to improve to 23-20 overall
and 13-8 in the Mountain West. The weekend sweep put Nevada
three games over .500 for the first time this season as the Pack is
riding a five-game winning streak.
In the first game of the series, the Pack won 8-5 thanks
primarily to Jordan Pearces three-run home run. Nevada scored
six runs on six hits all in the second inning. Christian Stolo
bounced back from what has been a disappointing start for the
senior, as the lefty allowed two runs on five hits in 6.0 innings.
In game two, junior pitcher Trevor Charpie needed just 106
pitches to toss a one-hit shutout en route to a 5-0 victory.
Charpie notched his fourth win in seven decisions and
improved his ERA to 4.04.
The majority of the offense came in the fourth inning
from Trenton Brooks RBI single and freshman Kaleb
Foster reached with the bases loaded on an error,
scoring two.
If you like offense, and few people enjoy pitching
battles, then game three was for you. Nevada opened
up a 12-run lead in the fifth inning and eventually
closed out a 13-9 victory, completing the three-game
sweep.
Junior LHP Trenton Brooks allowed two runs
on four hits and five strikeouts in 6.0 serviceable
innings. Six Pack players had multi-hit games
including TJ Friedl, Justin Bridgman, Miles Mastrobuoni, Brooks, Bryce Greager and Kaleb Foster.
Geager hit a two-run home run in the second inning
for his third homer of the season. The Pack put up crooked
numbers in the third, fourth and fifth innings to flaunt a 13-1
lead. San Diego State scored the games final eight runs, but
it proved irrelevant as Nevada closed out the contest.
Nevada finds themselves over .500 and in third place in
a very winnable Mountain West Conference. Only New
Mexico (30-15, 16-5) and Fresno State (28-16, 16-7)
currently stand in front of Nevada.
Last season, the Wolf Pack won the regular
season title but was unable to qualify for the NCAA
tournament because of an 0-2 performance in the
conference tournament. This season, Nevada will
be cast as the underdog in the tournament,
hoping to upset a favorite.

HOW WILL JARED GOFF AND CARSON WENTZ FARE OUT IN THE NFL?
I think No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff will be the better
quarterback of the two. Im not sure about No. 2 overall
pick Carson Wentz, though. He played in an FCS
powerhouse program in North Dakota State, which isnt
exactly the strongest competition. Its not like hes Joe
Flacco, where he transferred from Pitt to FCS Delaware.
Wentz spent his entire career at the FCS level. He was
good in college, but the program was elite when he got
there and itll stay elite when he leaves. Does he benefit Neil Patrick
from his system? Well see, but Im going with Goff to be Healy
more successful.
HEALY
RIEGER
VS
Jack
Rieger
Both Goff and Wentz have NFL size, arm strength and
are mentally sharp. Goff is especially good throwing in
the middle of the field and Wentz has excellent accuracy
throwing to the sidelines. Goffs biggest criticism is that
he had a 13-23 career record at Cal and he has to put on
weight to compete in the NFL. Wentz has a bigger arm
and is a good athlete but played in Division II at North
Dakota State. I think Goff will be better because of the
team hes going to, the weather hes going to be playing
in and he makes better progressions from the pocket.

THE NCAA
Thats right, you read that correctly.
The NCAA did something right. After the
controversial banning of satellite camps
in college football less than a month ago,
the NCAA has repealed the ban. Although
aspects of the camp are going under the
microscope for a future ruling, the fact
that the NCAA actually did something
that the public was clambering for and
would benefit the student athletes is truly
astounding. Many people in the media
and in college football circles felt that the
banning of the camps was a questionable
decision, so the repeal of the ban earns
the NCAA some cool points. Enjoy it,
guys, because this feeling of satisfaction
and victory wont last long.

THE LA CLIPPERS
After trading for point guard Chris Paul
back in 2011, the Clippers were the trendy
pick to be the perennial title-contender in
the NBA. CP3, Blake Griffin and DeAndre
Jordan the league was put on notice. Five
years later, the Clippers have flopped in
some catastrophic ways. Choking up a 3-1
lead in the Western Conference Semifinals
to Houston and Griffin breaking his hand
after punching a trainer in the head are
both bad. Having their former owner
Donald Sterling being exposed for being
an eccentric racist is even worse. Despite
that, LA had about 12 hours of good luck
when Warriors point guard Stephen Curry
sprained his MCL. Everyone was ready for
the Clippers to upset the 73-win Warriors
until Chris Paul broke his hand and Griffin
injured his quad.
Without Paul and Griffin, the Clippers
had little hope of beating the surging No.
6 seed Portland Trailblazers in the first
round and lost in six games. The Clippers
formed five years ago with championship
expectations and have been a major
disappointment. Lob City had a couple
golden years where it could have carved
a niche in the Laker town of Los Angeles,
but the momentum is lost. With the Spurs
and Warriors looking like theyll be elite
for years to come, it looks like LA lost its
chance.
