Platt discusses grave theft by Cora Vay Grave robbing, an ancient sinister act, entails the unearthing of graves and robbing of objects the dead are laid to rest with. Today, this act of violation is common in Humboldt County’s Native American tribes. Humboldt State’s Native Pathways Speaker Series will host author and professor Tony Platt on Oct. 17. Platt’s book, “Grave Matters: Excavating California’s Buried Past,” delves into the culture behind grave robbing on local Yurok land. Platt details Humboldt’s troubled past with cultural clashes, resulting in the expulsion and isolation of ethnic races in the county. Kerri Malloy, event coordinator and Yurok tribe member, said the Native Pathways Speaker Series is designed to bring hushed topics into light. Malloy said discrimination and racism in the classroom is common. “Derogatory things are said in classrooms in a manner that makes it hard to hold people responsible,” he said. Traditionally, members of the Yurok tribe are buried with items that represent their personalities. These items are meant to carry on to their afterlife to be used in their next life — never to be removed from their grave. A demand in authentic Native American artifacts in the late 1800s opened up a black market with perpetrators looting from burial sites in Humboldt County — the largest population of native tribes in California, Malloy said. Most native burial grounds are unmarked and classified as state property — leaving an open door for looters to unearth artifacts without getting caught. Items are sold on auction sites like Craigslist or eBay and sometimes antique shops for thousands of dollars. “People wouldn’t steal from See “Native” on page 2

Mischief Lab hosts fiery performance by Kevin Forestieri If you go to a show in Arcata and see bursts of fire, tanks of propane and fire-breathing sculptures, chances are Mischief Lab is behind it. Mischief Lab is a performance group based in Arcata that specializes in fire effects for shows. They do shows at community centers, schools, concerts and other venues with propane fire effects. Mark Switzer, owner of Mischief Lab, said the group also performs their own shows in their parking lot every few months. “We really enjoy doing our fire shows,” Switzer said. Mischief Lab’s Halloweenthemed show, “Sea of Flames: Fire for the Arts” will be at Blue Lake Casino on Oct. 26-27 from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m.. Weston Call, co-founder and member of Mischief Lab, said the group hosted Halloween events in the past. Formerly known as the Burning Bush, the event is normally hosted in Southern Humboldt County. This year, they are hosting it in the city. “It’s going to be our biggest show,” Weston said. Lorraine Tryon, the event
coordinator at Mischief Lab, said the show will have art sculptures and fire sculptures. Tryon said some of the fire sculptures will be huge, some 30 feet long and 15 feet tall. “One of the sculptures is a giant dragon,” Tryon said. “When you push a button, fire shoots out of it.” Tryon said kinetic sculptures and Burning Man props will make an appearance at Sea of Flames. Mischief Lab will be joined by other performance groups including the Department of Spontaneous Combustion, Aerial Dance Circus and Otto Von Danger. Proceeds from the show will go to the Coastal Grove Charter School’s Parent Teacher Organization and the F Street Warehouse in Arcata. Switzer said Mischief Lab promotes fire arts in their shows beyond the scope of California. Mischief Lab performed fire shows in Minneapolis and Ohio this year, and has plans to do shows internationally. They plan to attend the Kiwiburn event in New Zealand this January as well as Burning Man events in Africa.

Judith Warren wins Marigold prize for HSU by N. Hunter Cresswell Judith Warren occupied a changing room on the first floor of a Bay Area mall on Oct. 17, 1989 when the Loma Prieta earthquake hit, measuring in at a magnitude 6.9. She is better prepared than most for earthquakes, but her emergency flashlight was lost in the 10-to-15-second quake. She moved around in the dark and heard panicked screams all around. “It took three hours to battle my way out of that ruined building,” Warren said. Warren is the regional coordinator for the Regional Training Institute for Disaster Preparedness at Humboldt State and is responsible for community disaster preparedness in five Northern California counties: Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Siskiyou and Trinity. The training institute is dedicated to preparing these five counties for earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires and floods. This week the Marigold Ideas for Good contest awarded Warren $5,000. “[The money] will be utilized to provide some of the training institute’s community disaster preparedness courses at little or no cost,” Warren said.
This contest is held monthly between April and October. The winners are chosen in part by an Internet vote. She and 14 other people who are over the age of 50 were chosen as nominees for the award. There are five winners each month that the contest is open. Four people win a

$5,000 grant towards their project and one grand prize winner will get an educational or service learning adventure through Road Scholar — which provides travel-based learning experiences — and the grand prize is a choice of trips to exotic locales around the globe. Warren moved to Humboldt County from the Bay Area in 2002 where she met Linda Nellist. Nellist and Warren cofounded the training institute in March 2011 through the
earthquake country. These classes are important now because underneath HSU is the largest earthquake fault system in the continental United States, Warren said. Warren expects massive earthquakes and tsunamis in the area because “massive” earthquakes happen every 225 to 250 years and it has been 312 years since the last one. The last massive earthquake took place on Jan. 26, 1700. It measured at a magnitude 9.0 and if the west coast had
been mapped at that time, cartographers would have had to redo their mapping because of the massive shift of tectonic plates. We are living on what geologists call a subduction zone, which is a massive fault system where one tectonic plate is being thrust under another, Warren said. Nellist stressed that what Warren teaches in her class provides “not only information, but an insurance policy.” HSU geology professor Lori Dengler met Warren in 2005 and has been working with her since she started the training institute. Warren’s effect on Dengler is evident from her office preparedness. Dengler’s desk is metal monstrosity with a cardboard box full of water and food under it. If disaster strikes she may be found sipping water and eating a PowerBar tucked away under her desk. Both Dengler and Nellist feel that Warren deserved to win one of the prizes in the contest. Dengler said Warren is “absolutely superb at teaching these classes.”

Native grave robbing Continued from page 1
“People wouldn’t steal from traditional gated cemeteries, [native burial grounds] should be no different,” Malloy said. “It’s about basic human respect.” In 2008, James Truhls was caught by state park rangers for stealing from an ancient Yurok burial site located in Patrick’s Point State Park. In a video posted by Truhls on YouTube, the Humboldt County resident was seen unearthing and pocketing sacred artifacts. Even with video evidence, Humboldt County Court dropped the felony charge against Truhls,

citing insufficient evidence. Malloy, a member of the Yurok tribe and teaching assistant at HSU, said the lack of laws protecting Native Americans goes beyond historical context. “It’s part of American history, Native Americans are viewed as a piece of ownership,” Malloy said. “It’s common for the dominant society to feel blamed for things that has happened to minorities. They just have the responsibility to know what happened. This is what happened.”

Chile
Chilean Bishop Marco Antonio Órdenes Fernández quit his position after the Vatican accepted his resignation on Tuesday. Fernandez is under investigation for the alleged sexual abuse of a minor. Thirty-yearold Rodrigo Pino is Fernandez’s accuser. Pino said the abuse started when he was 15 but for emotional reasons he did not approach prosecutors until 2009.
This week Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani school girl who was attacked and shot by the Taliban on Oct. 9, was transported to England for medical treatment. Yousafzai is known as an education activist who defied Taliban-implemented restrictions. She attended school when the Taliban said no girls were allowed to and even appeared in several interviews in which she expressed her beliefs. The Taliban saw Yousafzai as dissident and disrespectful of their reign. She was attacked while leaving school and suffers from a gunshot wound to the head. Her medical expenses will be paid by the Pakistani government.
Scotland
On Monday Scottish Prime Minister Alex Salmond and British Prime Minister David Cameron signed a referendum which puts the fate of Scotland into voters’ hands. In 2014 Scottish voters will be able to vote to decide if Scotland separates from the United Kingdom. The ballot question will be a straightforward “yes” or “no.”

Corrections The pull quote on page nine of the Oct. 10 issue was said by Doug Gibbs, not Mary Grooms VanCott. The Oct. 10 article “Brown’s Prop. 30: CSU trigger cut in voters’ hands” had two factual errors. The tax increase will apply to people who make more than $250,000, not $500,000. Also, the sales tax will increase by .25
cents, not decrease. The infographic that accompanied the Oct. 10 article “Indigenous Peoples Week: HSU lecturer highlights injustice” on page three had incorrect dates. In “Athlete of the Week” on page 11 of the Oct. 10 issue, Christopher Campbell’s name is spelled wrong. It is Campbell, not Campell.

Who do you talk to about sex?
Student health educator Jessie Hagadorn thinks that for some male students learning to put on a condom marks the beginning and end of their sexual education. “They learn what they think they should know and stop after that,” Hagardorn said. Psychology major Lelito would not consider going out with someone who did not practice condom use. “Putting on a condom should be second nature for a guy,” Lelito said. “If they’re not doing that I hate to think what else they’re not thinking about.” Adam Carriedo said one way some male students learn about sex is from their friends. “I mean, if one of your friends is doing certain sexual things or whatever the case may be, you [ask yourself], ‘Am I doing that? Should I be doing that?” Carriedo, a psychology junior, said. Nelson and Hagadorn, peer advisors at the Student Health Center, give students tips to use throughout their sex lives and stress that communication is important. “Always ask before you start something new,” Nelson said. “Try different pressures, motions and rhythms — avoid doing the same thing over and over.”

Center. “There’s more than just the pill though,” Nelson said. “You can get an IUD, the Patch or Implanon.” Taylor Lelito, a junior psychology major, chose to get Implanon — a small 1.5-inch rod that is inserted into the upper arm via a needle. The rod releases hormones that prevent pregnancy, and it is effective for up to three years. “I was never really convinced with the pill,” Lelito said. “It’s inconvenient trying to take it at the same time each and every day — plus I’ve heard stories of women getting pregnant while they were on it.” Lelito also makes sure her partner wears a condom each time they have sex since the Implanon only prevents pregnancy and not sexually transmitted infections. “I had a roommate that’s on the same birth control that I’m on [Implonon] that’s 99% effective — she’s actually the one who convinced me to get it,” Lelito said.

It’s Friday night and you’re sitting on your bed with someone you just met at a party. They reach over to rub your thigh and you give them the OK to go further. Quick! Where’s the condom? Where’s the lube? There is no need to stress over sexual issues on your own. Jessie Hagadorn and Ashleigh Nelson are two premed cellular molecular biology students who will answer your questions. “We’re an impartial third party,” Hagadorn said. “You can ask [us] questions you wouldn’t normally ask your friends or doctor.” Hagadorn and Nelson are both members of the Student Health Advisory Committee. SHAC is a group of students on campus who promote good health by providing students with information on ways to prevent illnesses. Over the summer, Hagadorn and Nelson put together a new program for students who may have questions regarding sex. Both Hagadorn and Nelson have years of experience working in a clinical setting. Hagadorn started volunteering for Planned Parenthood — the nation’s largest provider of sexual health services — in high school. “Some people come in to ask how to put condoms on correctly and many female students ask about what contraception options are available for them,” Hagadorn said. “We can help students with a wide variety of issues, and if we don’t have an answer we know where to direct you to.” Nelson is a certified EMT and phlebotomist — which means she is able to draw blood. She gives female students the rundown on all the birth control methods available to them. A poster with more than 50 oral contraceptive pills is in each examination room at the Humboldt State Health

New academic internship policy by Ryan Nakano It used to be easy to get an academic internship at Humboldt State. Zero liability waivers to sign. No student emergency contact information necessary. Even general health and safety information seemed optional for participating students. But what some saw as simple, others saw as a risk. In 2009, the Office of the University Auditor conducted a study of off-campus activities across nine different California State Un ive r s it i e s including HSU. The internal audit concluded that HSU faced a serious risk and liability problem. Now department chairs can no longer remain unaware of internship requirements. An academic internship is an internship that students can receive course credit for. Out of nine academic internships reviewed at HSU, eight lacked agreements between the university and participating agency. In addition, the same eight internships failed to address insurance coverage for students. Mandatory internship site visits also went undocumented.
After three years, one outdated policy and an executive order, HSU President Rollin Richmond approved a new internship policy on April 23. With several kinds of internships offered at HSU, the new policy applies only to academic internships. Unlike its 2010 predecessor, the current policy attempts to lessen the burdenonfacultymembersandreduce inherent risks involve d

with off-campus internships. Geography department chair Stephen Cunha is concerned that students will be pre-screened and previously established studentteacher relationships will not matter. “As faculty we essentially prescreen and recruit students for these agencies,” Cunha said. “We are their eyes and ears and I’m worried that this will be difficult from a central command post.” Cunha believes student academic internships should be looked at as a triangle. “When it comes to internships there are responsibilities from the student, the university and the agency. If the internship is for academic credit, this triangle should exist throughout the process from start to finish,” Cunha said. “My hope is that this new policy will honor the triangle and support it.” For previous academic internships Cunha said he did his best to follow the policies with the exception of paperwork geared towards risk management.
“I guess I’m part of the reason this new policy is needed. It would be great if the office [center for service learning and academic internships] could handle liability and health insurance information,” Cunha said. Annie Bolick-Floss, director of the center for service learning and academic internships, and Vice Provost Jena’ Burges help oversee the new policy on campus. “This new policy shouldn’t be more work for faculty members, but may require earlier communication between faculty and the center for service learning and academic internships,” Burges said. Before HSU can place any student in an internship, the office of the provost or vice president of academic affairs must submit a written summary to deem the internship appropriate. In the previous 2010 policy faculty members were responsible for placement assessment. As part of the placement assessment, the new policy requires a five-year learning site agreement between the internship site and HSU. The learning site agreement should address the roles of both the campus and the internship site. In addition, the office of the provost or vice president of academic affairs is now responsible for an annual review of the internships and a three-year retention of all internship documentation. With 124 community partners of pre-approved internship sites and 60 more in progress, both Burges and Bolick-Floss are certain the new policy will make things easier. “As more overarching learning site agreements are made between HSU and local agencies, the less work both faculty and the service learning center will have over time,” BolickFloss said. “It’s like the horse is out of the barn and we’re just now trying to catch it.”

Estrada On Tuesday — World Food Day — Humboldt county community members rallied on the Arcata Plaza to promote the message “YES ON PROP 37!” The rally worked its way to the University Quad around noon and was in response to Humboldt State President Rollin Richmond’s opposition to Proposition 37.
On their Facebook event page, “World Food Day- Right to know rally” the organizers accused Richmond of saying that Proposition 37 was “similar to efforts of unthinking religious people to ban stem cell research.” The group disagrees, and feels that genetically modified foods should be labeled.

A helmet, elbow and shoulder pads protect skaters as they make full contact with one another while rolling full speed on an oval-shaped concrete track. The Humboldt Roller Derby League began practice in 2006 and bouting commenced in 2007. The league has two teams, the all-star team know as the Redwood Rollers and the “B team” known as the Widow Makers. The all-star team travels and competes nationally. Players are recruited for the all-star team from the B team. The Santa Cruz Boardwalk Bombshells defeated the Humboldt Redwood Rollers 139-101 Saturday, Oct. 14, closing the 2012 season at Redwood Acres in Eureka. Andrea Nieto, known by the Humboldt Roller Derby team as Rust E Machete, is one of two star jammers on the HRD team. Roller derby has two predominate positions. A jammer is the offensive point scoring position. A blocker is the defensive position. A team consists of four blockers and one jammer. A jammer gains points when she rolls by the blockers hips unchecked. Star jammer and native of Modesto, Calif., Nieto transferred to Humboldt State because of the small town feel, the anthropology program and ability to transfer within the CSU system. Nieto graduated from HSU with an anthropology degree in 2007. Following graduation she developed an interest in playing a post-academic sport. Nieto competed and coached basketball and track but she wanted to play a full-contact sport after graduation.
Skaters in roller derby commonly adopt pseudonyms with tongue-in-cheek humorous play on words. A play on words, her middle initial and an agricultural tool led to her roller derby nickname — Rust E Machete. She joined the team in 2009 and quickly became a recognized player. Nieto enjoys the adrenaline rush of the full contact and the competitiveness of the sport. “Roller derby is a female contact sport all about physicality,” Nieto said. “That is the priority, a lot of maneuvers on skates with agility and blocking at high speeds.” An average roller derby career lasts six years, due to the physicality and damage from the full-contact aspect of the sport. Short athletic career spans creates opportunity for younger players to move up to the all-star team quickly. Jamie MacCarthy, known as Villain Thomas, coaches the league with Nieto. MacCarthy is an English major at HSU. The league was recently accepted into the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in April 2010. The program requires members to run and operate their own leagues. Their acceptance into the program allows the league to be ranked by status and position in the season. Initially the league ran and operated under the skaters. The addition of a board of directors allowed players to focus on training. The board of directors adopted a non-profit business model to ensure the continuance of the league and support for the community. Local micro-breweries’ beer sales profits at bouts are

given to local non-profits. Lost Coast Brewery provided brews to benefit the building of the McKinleyville skatepark at Saturday’s bout. The team raised more than $20,000 last year and gave funds to local non-profit organizations. Brian Lovell, vice president of the league, manages the team as bout production manager. “The bout production manager is responsible for putting all pieces of a puzzle together and taking all the pieces apart for each bout,” Lovell said. Lovell’s oldest daughter Gracie, known as Gracie/DC, became a skater herself. She
participates in the Saplings program of the league. The Saplings are young females of the league being educated on the full-contact sport. MacCarthy, another jammer on the team, said roller derby gives young women an outlet. “Girls are not socialized to play sports or be brutal,” MacCarthy said. “But roller derby is an interesting way for women to express and explore this side of themselves.”

Thursday, Oct. 11 was National Coming Out Day. The Eric Rofes Center, along with the Multicultural Center and the Queer Student Union set up tables around the quad and invited others to table in celebration and support of the day. Coming Out Day participants had the option to write their identities on paper butterfly cutouts to hang on a poster titled “I’m coming out as...” Such responses written on the butterflies included “lesbian,” “bisexual,” “supportive” and “friend.” http://www.facebook.com/HSULumberjack The main attraction was the rainbow-painted door that stood in the middle of the quad.

Students, faculty and other community members could walk through the door as tabling members and other supporters showered them with glitter and cheers. Sebrinna Schmidt, a volunteer with the Eric Rofes Center, said this year the door was handicap accessible. Asya Stillo came out to her friends as a lesbian two years ago but she still wanted to come out through the door in the quad. “I wanted to make it official,” she said. Joseph Comer, a social work major and QSU treasurer said this is not uncommon. “It is rare to have people come out through the door who are actually coming out for their first time,” he said. He said some people utilize the door as a symbol of how comfortable they are with themselves. Comer said many people who partake in the coming out of the door have already come to their own internal realizations of “this is who I am.” Cassandra Anne may be contacted at thejack@humboldt.edu

Album Review: “Glad All Over” by The Wallflowers Release Date: Oct. 9
From the band that brought you the ‘90s soft rock hit “One Headlight,” The Wallflowers bring you their latest album “Glad All Over.” The Wallflowers came together in 1989 and by 1992 had their self-titled debut album. The album did not break any records but has since sold more than 1 million copies. In 1996 the group’s second album, “Bringing Down the Horse,” brought new popularity to the band. From that album, “One Headlight” won two Grammy Awards in 1997 in the categories Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group. It also landed at No. 58 in Rolling Stone magazine’s 100 Greatest Pop Songs of All Time in 2000. Six years after their most recent album, “Rebel, Sweetheart,” Jakob Dylan on

guitar and vocals, Stuart Mathis on pedal steel guitar, Jay Joyce on guitar and percussion, Greg Richling on bass guitar, Rami Jaffee on keyboard and Jack Irons on drums bring together that same winning sound. In a time when most bands are trying to bring in that “pop” feel, The Wallflowers are too busy being themselves. Listening to “Glad All Over” is to take a step back to the ‘90s soft rock I have come to admire, in part because of its rarity in modern music. While I listen to this album I cannot help but imagine family road trips down Highway 1 to Monterey, Calif. and the kind of music we would hear on the radio, which incidentally included The Wallflowers. Each song in this album — despite its ability to stand alone — remains united by a connecting thread. The cooperation in sound between the members serves to elevate the jams and solos, drawing increased focus to them. The second track of the album, “Misfits and Lovers” featuring guitarist Mick Jones, helps to bring energy to the album. It takes the workings of “Top 40” music and brings them under a single roof. It is clearly a clap-a-long song with a beat that anyone can move to and words even I can sing. I find myself fighting urges to bump, move and hum as my foot absentmindedly taps away to the alluring beat of this song. “Reboot the Mission” also features Jones and summons

Missing Home Taylor Prilliman, a social work major from Long Beach, Calif., found herself missing her mother and brother the most when she was a freshman in the dorms. “They are like my rock,” Prilliman said. Prilliman tried to resist the urge to call home during her freshman year. She tried to be strong and not need emotional support, but that only made her miss her family more. As a senior, Prilliman still gets homesick, but her remedy includes phone calls and text messages to her family to keep up with them and letters and care packages from her mother.

Cesar Lopez, an international studies senior from Los Angeles, had a difficult time adjusting to small town life at Humboldt State when he moved into the dorms. He missed his life with his parents and the culture of LA. To deal with his homesickness, Lopez told himself it was not the end of the world and forced himself to become more social by joining the lacrosse team and working at The Depot. Shawn Silverstein, a counselor at Counseling and Psychological Services, said parents can help alleviate their student’s homesickness with phone calls, care packages, visiting and sharing their own college experiences with them.
In the years that Prilliman has been at HSU, she only had family come visit once. When her mom and uncle came up for her birthday in May, Prilliman was eager to show them her apartment, the Sequoia Park Zoo, her favorite breakfast place — Big Blue Cafe — and the Arcata Farmers Market. When Lopez’s best friend came to visit him he showed him around the school, Arcata and took him to College Cove. “My friends thought I lived in a jungle,” Lopez said. CAPS counselor Shawn Silverstein advises students to show their friends and family around the campus and town to get them involved in life at HSU.
forth the slightly more funky mellow vibe that typifies much of the album. The light beat emphasizes the lyrics and the smaller details, such as a highpitched piano woven among the deeper, but equally, fluid bass. Finally “Constellation Blues” and “One Set of Wings” bring me home to the end of this album. In these tracks, the elements are simplified further to create a tension that pulls the mind toward the lyrics, which take a personal and semi-political tone. However, while I’d say that the album ends on a low, I am not referring to quality. Instead it would be more akin to the feeling of your head hitting the pillow after a long day. Reflecting on the album, I feel the weight of everything I have heard. But unlike many albums, I am not left wanting because it feels accomplished in its own right. Many albums in today’s music industry feel rushed and cut short by industry deadlines. I would say The Wallflowers took time to craft the flow of the album and it shows. Looking forward, I have only one question: Where will The Wallflowers go from here?

by Katherine Monroe Homecoming Weekend — a time for friends and family to visit. It may also be the time when homesickness comes to surface. Whether you are missing home, have family visiting or simply do not want to say goodbye, students Taylor Prilliman and Cesar Lopez and Counseling and Psychological Services counselor Shawn Silverstein have some advice for you. Students should talk about and acknowledge their homesickness, Silverstein said. “Bring things from home for a sense of continuity,” Silverstein said. “Be patient and give yourself time to acclimate.” The CAPS website states homesickness is normal when adjusting to a new environment. Tips on the website are: make your space your own, talk to roommates, keep routine habits and contact the people you miss. CAPS is available for walk-in appointments as well as scheduled appointments. It is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and can be reached at 707-826-3236.
Saying Goodbye
When Prilliman had to say goodbye to her mom and uncle, they turned it into a joke by making fun of how close to tears they all were. To make it easier Prilliman told them, “We will see each other again,” instead of goodbye. Like Prilliman, Lopez tells his loved ones he will see them in a few months. Whether you have family visiting this weekend or not, just remember: Thanksgiving break is only one month away and after that, there are just a few weeks left until the end of the semester, so you will see your loved ones soon, Silverstein said.

by Cora Vay Editor’s Note: Each week this semester, The Lumberjack will provide content from its past as Humboldt State nears its centennial. This week’s front page was originally printed on Oct. 12, 1951 in the third issue of volume XXIII of The Lumberjack. Humboldt State celebrated their sixth homecoming with two newcomers — President Cornelius Siemens and famed football coach Phil Sarboe. Siemens, in his first year as HSU president, started the academic year with 600 students and ambitious plans to expand HSU’s reach abroad. By the end of the semester, students from Germany, Yugoslavia, Samoa, Guam and Hawaii were recruited to HSU. In the article “HSC Welcomes Alumni,” Bob Titlow, homecoming
chairman, announced festivities planned for the game against UC Davis: A Noise Parade led by members on the football team, the annual freshman homecoming bonfire at the Arcata Ball Park, a variety show put on by theater society Alpha Psi Omega and an after-game dance featuring a 12 piece band held at the gymnasium. An Alumni Banquet honoring alumni from classes of ‘16, ‘21, ‘26, ‘31, ‘36, ‘41, ‘46, and ‘51 concluded homecoming week. Contestants for the 19511952 Homecoming Queen were announced in the article “Sempervirens Lists 13 Contest Girls.” Candidates were nominated by the student body based on glamor and photogenic ability. Portraits of the potential queens were sent to Conover Model Agency in New York for owner Harry Conover to
pick the queen. Shirley Patrick, pictured on the far right, was crowned Homecoming Queen at the halftime show. Led by new football coach Sarboe, the game ended with a loss to UC Davis in front of 5,000 fans at Redwood Bowl with a final score of 27-13. Yet, the disappointing loss would not taint Sarboe’s reign as head coach of the Jacks. Sarboe and five members of his “All Star Aid Staff ” lead the Jacks for 14 more years — ending with a record of 10437, two championship titles and coach of the year honors from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. In 1981, Sarboe was the first coach entered into HSU’s Sports Hall of Fame, four years before his death on Nov. 19, 1985. Cora Vay may be contacted at thejack@ humboldt.edu

Licensed psychologist and sex therapist Melinda Myers believes there is no such thing as “feminine hysteria.” Doctors in the early 1900s thought otherwise and categorized moodiness, irritability and restlessness in women as a single medical condition. To treat their “hysteria,” doctors used crude tools to administer electric vibrations to the female patient’s vulvas in order to release built up fluids in the body, a practice then termed “paroxysm.” This practice defined an era of limited medical understanding. Today, paroxysms are illegal. The female orgasm is real. Easy in fact, as women become more comfortable with their bodies and communicating with their partner, Myers, also a Humboldt State lecturer, said. This week, a production by the Ferndale Repertory Theatre examines the complexity of sexuality 80 years ago and its continued complexity today. “In The Next Room (The Vibrator Play)” describes a relationship between doctor and patient, doctor and wife, communication and results. Relevancy of the issue persists, Director Rae Robison said. “If this show was not still relevant, I wouldn’t still see magazines in the store that that say ‘100 ways to please your man,’” Robison said. Robison is excited about the play and hopes it will get people talking about sex. “The vibrator is just the hook that it all falls onto,” Robison said. “No one could come [to see the play] if it didn’t say ‘vibrator’ in it. I used to teach in the Midwest and we couldn’t even do shows with curse
words in them. And now we can do orgasms on stage? It should open up an interesting dialogue.” Dating back to the 1800s, the first vibrators were bulky, used exclusively within a medical context and considered a realistic cure for moodiness, irritability, sleeplessness and anxiety, formally known as “feminine hysteria,” explains Robison.
“In the Next Room” Oct. 19 and 20 8 p.m. Oct. 21 2 p.m. Student tickets: $14 “Some of the original dildos looked like farming equipment,” Robison said. Today, the medical use of vibrators has fallen away, replaced by a modern, private, erotic context. Yet, what is considered normal in one culture remains taboo in an other. “There are multiple kinds of normal,” Myers said, referencing two anthropological studies of isolated tribes to represent two polar opposites in sexual tolerance. On the remote island of Inis Beag off the coast of Ireland, a culture of people put high value on privacy in their lives, reserving sex solely as a means of procreation. Nudity unacceptable, the islanders bathe by
removing one article of clothing at a time, and forbid young children to see each other exposed. In contrast, anthropologists studied residents of the Marquesas Islands in the 1960s, a people originating from Samoa. Adolescents were considered sexually capable, and guidance from elders began. Young adults overcame the sensitivity of communication between partners early, making for fundamentally comfortable sex. “Every woman in the culture is multi-orgasmic,” Myers said. Myers recognizes that communication between partners, whether heterosexual, homosexual or otherwise can be challenging, but is key to successful relations. Feeling entitled to communicate openly and without judgement is a practice, like any others, that improves with effort. “Sexuality is incredibly vibrant and nuanced,” Myers said. “I think the biggest factor is women feeling entitled to orgasms. Women have to know what they want, and then feel like they are entitled to ask for it.” On stage at the Ferndale Repertory Theatre, actress Megan Johnson delivered phony orgasms to illustrate the dated practice, but spoke afterwards that sex should be more than humor. “Sex isn’t just something funny, it’s something that you should enjoy. It’s part of life,” Johnson said. Greta Stockwell, playing the part of the doctor’s assistant, hopes the play will have an effect on her audience. “I want people to be comfortable with each other,” Stockwell said. “I want them to go home and masturbate.” Bryn Robertson may be contacted at thejack@humboldt.edu

Jacks Roundup by Alexa Malmgren
Football: Lumberjack running back Nick Ricciardulli broke a Great Northwest Athletic Conference record this past weekend after he carried the ball a record 45 times for 251 yards against Azusa Pacific. The Lumberjacks improved their conference record to 4-2 on Saturday with a 24-20 win over APU. However the game was not without its low points. APU scored quickly in the first quarter when the Cougars quarterback Nick Owens completed an 8-yard pass to tight end Kevin Schick. Humboldt State’s freshman quarterback Casey Mintz experienced a rocky start to his first collegiate game when just minutes in he fumbled the ball. APU scored off the fumble recovery, bringing the score to 13-0 just minutes into the game. Mintz pulled himself together quickly though, and completed an 8-yard pass to Marquise Deadwiler with three minutes left in the quarter to put the Jacks on the scoreboard. The Lumberjacks’ momentum did not stop there and they were able to take the lead before the start of the second quarter when Daniel Wyatt ran a 20-yard rush into the endzone. APU scored first in the second quarter of play but Mintz answered back quickly with a 36-yard touchdown pass to Deadwiler to give the Lumberjacks a 21-20 lead before halftime. The Jacks scored the final points of the game with Matt Bruder’s 42-yard field goal. The Lumberjacks will take on Dixie State on Oct. 20 for the HSU homecoming game. Cycling: On Oct. 20 and 21, Steven Pearl, Justin Graves and Jesse Palmer will represent Humboldt State at the Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships in Angel Fire, N.M.. Dylan Wright and Ashley Hansen also qualified for a spot at nationals but will not attend the race. The athletes will compete against nearly 300 other student athletes from more than 50 colleges. Graves will compete in the downhill race while Palmer and Pearl will take part in the crosscountry and short track events. Women’s soccer: The Lumberjacks continue to have a hard time finding their footing on the field after adding two more losses to their conference record last week. The Jacks traveled to Seaside, Calif. on Oct. 11 searching for a win against California State Monterey Bay but came up empty handed. The Jacks trailed the Otters for the majority of the game but during the final minutes of the second half managed to tie the score at 2-2 to send the game into overtime. Despite the Lumberjacks’ efforts CSUMB managed to score first in the overtime period, ending the game 3-2. The Jacks then traveled to Hayward, Calif. to compete against California State East Bay. The game remained scoreless for the majority of the game until CSEB sent a corner kick into the back of the Lumberjacks’ net just minutes before the end of the second half.w The Jacks overall record now stands at 1-9 as they travel south on Oct. 19 to face off against California State Los Angeles.

57-year-old tradition kicks off Homecoming weekend
Football player Scott Regan will be one of Humboldt State Alumni inducted into the Humboldt State Athletics Hall of Fame. | Photo provided by Dan Pambianco, assistant athletic director of media relations
by Jessica Snow A part of Homecoming and Family Weekend, the annual Athletic Hall of Fame dinner will induct six people into Humboldt State’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Dan Pambianco, the assistant athletic director of media relations, is
on the committee to choose athletes to be entered into the Hall of Fame. “I’m fortunate that I was able to witness all of the inductees during their careers at HSU. All brought a great deal of excitement to their respective sport,” Pambianco said. In order to be considered for induction, an athlete must have
finished their athletic career at HSU more than seven years ago. To be considered a veteran athlete, they must have been eligible for the Hall of Fame for 10 or more years. The Hall of Fame dinner will be held on Oct. 19. The committee will induct five alumni athletes and a former coach into HSU’s Hall of Fame. This year four former athletes, two men and two women, a coach and a veteran athlete will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. This year’s inductees are Alan Exley, Melissa Farr, Nicole Lynch, Jim Bowles, Mark White and Scott Reagan. Exley, head soccer coach from 1985 to 2003, led the men’s soccer team to a total of 171 wins. Farr, a member of women’s rowing from 2000 to 2003, won an All-American award in 2003 and was a vital part of the team. Lynch, a women’s basketball player from 2002 to 2005, set school records for career scoring and field goals, with 1,623 points and 652 field goals. Bowles, a cross-country and track and field athlete from 1990 to 1992, set a school record of 1:50.10 in the 800-meter run and was a NCAA champion, despite suffering from a knee injury. White, who played men’s basketball from 2001 to 2004, won a variety of awards while at HSU and set numerous school records, including a record of 594 career assists. Reagan, the veteran inductee, played football from 1987 to 1990. He was a four-time All-Northern California Athletic Conference selection and was later selected by
the Minnesota Vikings for a tryout in 1991, though he did not make the team. The Hall of Fame began in 1955 with one inductee, Earl Meneweather, a football and basketball player. In 1959 Elta Cartwright was the first woman inducted into the HSU Hall of Fame, though it was not required to include women until the 1970s with the advent of Title IX. Cartwright competed in the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics and at the time held an American record in long jump. Held in the Kate Buchanan Room at 7 p.m., the Hall of Fame dinner is only one of the weekend’s activities. Stephanie Lane, the assistant athletic director of event management, helped to plan the event. “My favorite part of the Hall of Fame dinner is hearing all of the stories from the athletes,” Lane said. “ Regardless of what year they played, all of them get a twinkle in their eye recalling the good times they had as a student athlete.” Anyone is welcome to attend the Homecoming dinner, but an RSVP is required and the cost is $35. Tom Trepiak, the associate athletic director of external affairs and compliance, will be the master of ceremony at the Hall of Fame dinner. “The Hall of Fame dinner is one of my favorite nights of the year. It brings back some former outstanding student athletes who speak from the heart about their careers at Humboldt State,” Trepiak said. Jessica Snow may be contacted at thejack@ humboldt.edu
Best friends take the court by storm by Lisette Saldana
Last April when head basketball coach Steve Kinder traveled to Rocklin, Calif. to recruit Cody Kale he had no idea that he would make a twofor-one deal. Sleeping upstairs in the Kales’ home was Deaundray Robinson, a post guard from Baton Rouge, La. who lived with Cody Kale’s family while both he and Kale attended Yuba Community College. Robinson and Kale share a unique story — the two played for California State University Bakersfield, a Division I basketball program, and Yuba Community College,— which went to the state championships last year. CSU Bakersfield was not a good fit for Kale; he could not see himself building a future there and he did not like the town. He decided to return home to Rocklin and attend a local community college to try to get recruited to another four-year university. Robinson decided to go with Kale after he heard that the CSU Bakersfield coaching staff was fired for lack of wins. Once Chris and Christina Kale, Cody Kale’s parents, heard Robinson would attend Yuba Community College they offered their home to him. Robinson and Kale shared a room and commuted 40 minutes to the Yuba Collegeity Campus. Chris Kale described them as home bodies — often
times the two would stay home and play video games. For Chris Kale, Robinson became a part of their family. Robinson participated in Kale family traditions like going out to eat for a family member’s birthday. “Cody’s family is the nicest in the world,” Robinson said. Originally from Baton Rouge, La, Robinson’s basketball career has taken him nearly 2,000 miles away from home. He attended the National College Prep in Los Angeles for one year and then left to Bakersfield. Though he was awarded a full-ride scholarship to attend, it was Coach John Mosley that really pushed him to go. Because he was both a coach and friend – he cared about Robinson’s life outside the court. Kale, a business major at HSU, is a combo guard and can play both point and shooting guard.

Hiking in Humboldt www.TheLumberjack.org
It is time to get off the sidewalk, put down your homework and enjoy the best months of weather Humboldt County has to offer. Arcata’s Indian summer is in full bloom and the outdoors are waiting for you to leave your mark — on the beaten path of course. The staff picked some of their favorite hikes, strolls, saunters and secret lookout points for you to enjoy before the rain hits. All directions are searchable online and well worth the drive. We even included the Arcata Community Forest for the oblivious freshmen who have yet to explore the backwoods of campus. Bring water, some friends and a camera to catch some spectacular moments and epic views.
Strawberry Rock
Location: Trinidad Difficulty and distance: Moderate 3.5 mile hike. You are going to have to traverse up some rocks at the end to get to the top. Description: If you are looking for an epic picnic spot, Strawberry Rock is the hike for you. At the end of the hike you will be perched on top of boulders looking at one of the best views Humboldt County has to offer. High above the redwood tree tops you will see mountains, the Pacific Ocean and bits and pieces of the surrounding towns. Quick fact: Green Diamond Resource Company owns this land, so try not to get caught trespassing!

Opinion
www.TheLumberjack.org
Since 2007 the California State University system has lost nearly $1 billion in funding. Tuition and fees increased, programs were severely cut and class sizes are growing. Do we want to see our education further degraded? Proposition 30 — Gov. Jerry Brown’s tax initiative — would increase state revenue for schools from kindergarten to 12th grade and community colleges through increases in both income and sales tax. The measure requires that 89 percent of the funds collected go to K-12 schools and 11 percent to community colleges. That money would satisfy the minimum annual funding requirements of Proposition 98 — the 1998 ballot measure that requires half the general fund to be spent on public education. With Proposition 30 there will be about a $3-billion increase in annual spending to schools and about $3 billion available in the general fund to use for other state needs. The money will come from increased sales tax and those who make $250,000 or more a year. In contrast, Proposition 38 focuses on upgrading K-12 education with better classroom technology and teaching materials. If it passes, income tax will increase for 12 years for everyone who makes more than $7,316 a year. The measure would raise
about $6 billion for K-12 schools and $1 billion for early childhood education every year. No money would go toward higher education. Funding public education is crucial and both measures appear beneficial but we need to look at these measures critically. Both measures cannot be passed into law, because if one measure is passed it would cancel out the other proposition’s effects. If Proposition 30 passes the CSU will avoid a $250-million trigger cut. The additional revenue would help meet the state’s needs of addressing the budget gap, help the CSU budget to not be cut further and possibly increase the CSU budget in future years. If Proposition 38 passes, the nearly $6 billion trigger cuts to education — to be stopped through Proposition 30 — would happen. For students, the better option is Proposition 30. This is the proposition we must desperately rely on to save higher education in California through supporting colleges monetarily. It will also leave our wallets filled with more than lint while we are in school. Propositions 30 and 38 both have good intentions, but Proposition 30 covers all education — K-12 and higher education — and will not cause a significantly damaging reduction in funding to public education.

The younger and conservative faces the older and socially aware by Helen Hwang Former Gov. Mitt Romney slightly climbed up in the polls after his performance in the first presidential debate. In the vice presidential debate, Rep. Paul Ryan should have kept on with the assertive presence but failed to do so. The vice presidential candidate exaggerated truths and “touchy” stories to manipulate the emotions of undecided voters. At the start of the debate, instead of answering moderator M a r t h a Raddatz’s question on whether or not the terrorist bombing in Libya was a “massive intelligence failure,” Ryan deviated from the point by criticizing the Obama administration and not sharing his own his perspectives on the matter. He repeatedly focused on how many times Obama
mentioned the YouTube video that influenced the protests in Benghazi, Libya during his U.N. speech, and how the Obama campaign is apparently pointing fingers at Romney and Ryan for “making it an issue.” Since most of the debate circled around
foreign policy, which Ryan has absolutely no experience in, he should have taken more initiative during the debate. Especially since he was debating against a standing vice president who was the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 1997 to 2007 and has 39 years in public office. Ryan had no hard
evidence of the intelligence surrounding the issue, so his best bet was to run around the question. Foreign policy was a persistent theme through most of the debate. It shed light on the hostile situation America and the rest of the world faces with Iran. Ryan, however, used this opportunity to wring out as many lies about Iran’s nuclear capabilities, insisting, “[Iran] had enough fissile material — nuclear material to make one bomb. Now they have enough for five.” The Washington Post fact-checked this statement and found that none of the nuclear material Iran has is able to produce any weapons. Ryan’s statement invites worries similar to those caused by the attacks of 9/11. Ultimately, Ryan’s statement was intended to invoke fear within American citizens, especially among those not entirely informed of Iran’s nuclear situation. This poses willingness from voters — who believe Iran has nuclear bombs — to then support another war. Thus making it easier for Romney and Ryan to incite war if elected into office.
From Libya, Iran, Afghanistan and Syria, Raddatz narrated through crucial foreign policy issues and winded down with domestic issues including abortion. Biden and Ryan, both devoted Catholics, agreed that life does begin at conception, but s t a r k differences w e r e
e v ident in their arguments. B i d e n vocalized that he did not, “believe we have the right to tell … women that they can’t control their
body.” On the contrary, Ryan stated, “The policy of a Romney administration will be to oppose abortion with the exceptions of rape, incest and the life of the mother.” Thus further distancing himself and
Romney from supporting the bodily autonomy that women are entitled to, essentially foreshadowing how Romney and Ryan will allow their religious beliefs to guide their policies. As stated on Romney’s website, if elected, he will repeal Roe v. Wade, a Supreme Court decision on Jan. 22, 1973, that extended the right of privacy to include a w o m a n’s decision to get an abortion. With Ryan’s blatant advantage from Romney’s performance during the first presidential debate, many believed he would move the Romney/Ryan ticket further. After watching the vice presidential debate, it seems they have moved not more than an inch. In the end, the debate was less than memorable. It reconfirmed the social and political differences of each candidate and did little to harm or benefit the Romney/ Ryan campaign.

Fire prevention week for Arcata
by Marie F. Estrada On Saturday, Oct. 13 Arcata firefighters welcomed the Arcata community to their Fire Prevention open house. The event — held at Arcata Fire Station 631 on 9th Street — was held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visitors were able to meet firefighters and volunteers and were taught fire safety. Children were given the opportunity to use a firehose and took turns putting out fake blazes on a building cutout with flame inserts. Marie F. Estrada may be contacted at thejack@humboldt.edu
