HURRICANE MARIA REACHES CATEGORY 5

Hurricane Maria reaches category 5 on its approach to the Caribbean just after Hurricane Irma made an impact less than a month ago.

According to the National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Maria made landfall Monday evening on the Caribbean island of Dominica with 160 mph winds.

Forecasters say that Hurricane Maria will follow a path similar to Irma’s.

Hurricane Maria is projected to approach the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico Wednesday, prompting officials to declare a state of emergency for both territories.

The National Hurricane Center has warned those in Hurricane Maria’s path to expect large and destructive waves with raising water levels as tall as six to nine feet. Buzzfeed News reports that the hurricane is expected to produce approximately 12 to 18 inches of rainfall in Puerto Rico with isolated maximum amounts of 25 inches.

Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras celebrate their independence on Sept. 15. Mexico, Chile and Belize celebrate their independence on Sept. 16, 18 and 21.

On Sept. 16, Wells Ave. celebrated Mexican Independence Day by hosting Fiesta on Wells. At this event, fiestagoers visited booths, danced to music, watched performances and enjoyed the

selection of foods offered at the event.

Wells Ave. is a community that is heavily influenced by the Hispanic culture.

“There’s a lack of Latinx representation in our city and this was completely run by Latinx people, it was organized by the people for the people,” said Alejandra Hernández Chávez of Acting in Community Together In Organizing Northern Nevada. “I think it’s impor-

tant to have something, especially in this area that is so populated with Latin folk, it’s important to have something that represents during a time that we should be celebrating our culture.”

PROTESTS ERUPT AT GEORGIA TECH AFTER STUDENT SHOT, KILLED BY POLICE

A Georgia Tech student was fatally shot on Saturday after Georgia Tech Police officers responded to a 911 call at 11:17 p.m. Saturday reporting that a suspicious person was holding a knife and possibly a gun, CNN reports.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation reports that evidence shows that 21-year-old Scout Schultz called 911 himself. Cellphone video from a student shows the interaction between officers and Schultz as they repeatedly tell Schultz to put down the knife. The video show Schultz taking a few steps forward and officers opened fire soon after.

After the shooting, violent protests took place Monday causing Georgia Tech police to urge students to stay inside and lock their doors.

By Madeline Purdue The number of sexual assaults on college campuses have weighed down on university administrations across the country, and it has become a serious issue they face every semester.

Victims have claimed universities do not do enough to protect their students—as one in five female undergraduate students are victims of sexual assault.

In 2014, 40 percent of colleges and universities reported not investigating a single sexual assault in the previous five years, 30 percent did not provide sexual assault training and 70 percent did not have protocol when it came to working with local law enforcement.

Statistics like these persuaded the Obama administration to send the “Dear Colleague” letter in April 2011. The letter placed more responsibility on universities to combat sexual assault on campuses. The letter threatens to cut or remove federal funding from the institutions that don’t comply with the regulations, which requires universities to investigate claims into sexual assault, provide resources to the victims and employ a Title IX coordinator to oversee everything.

Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex in federally funded programs. This includes athletics, higher education and sexual assault.

Obama-era Title IX regulations pertaining to sexual assault are now being rolled back on college campuses, Edu-

cation Secretary Betsy DeVos announced on Thursday, Sept.

7. DeVos claims the regulations ignore the due process rights of the accused and favors the accuser.

The University of Nevada, Reno, a federally funded institution, is required to follow the regulations set by Title IX. However, it does not have to limit its response to sexual assault to just these regulations.

However, DeVos believes that the students accused of sexual assault are unfairly treated by these regulations.

“Survivors aren’t well-served when they are re-traumatized with appeal after appeal because the failed system failed the accused,” DeVos said in a speech at George Mason University. “And no student should be forced to sue their way to due process.”

Denise Cordova, Title IX coordinator at UNR since 2010, said she doesn’t think DeVos knows exactly how the Title IX process Photo via Gage Skidmore/Flickr works, particularly at UNR.

LOCAL FIRE BURNS IN WEST RENO Firefighters battled two fires west of Reno on Monday. According to the Sierra Front Interagency Dispatch Center, the Woodchuck Fire and the Cone Fire started Monday afternoon with an unknown cause. Both fires took place near Interstate 80 between Reno and Verdi.

It is estimated that the Woodchuck Fire ranged from 30 to 75 acres. Firefighters were able to stop the fire from spreading, but RGJ reports that crews did not have an estimate on containment due to active hot spots in the burned areas.

The fire provoked voluntary evacuations, burned two construction trailers, and triggered several road closures.

The Woodchuck fire is believed to have formed at a construction site. Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District Chief Charlie Moore said that a few construction workers were cornered by the fire before gusty winds blew the fire away and workers were able to escape.

Two T-6’s fight for first place round the final turn of the T-6 Gold race at the Reno Air Races on Sunday, Sept. 17. The races celebrated their 54th year.

By Joey Lovato The 54th annual National Championship Air Races were held at the Reno-Stead Airport this last week.

The event went from Wednesday, Sept. 13 to Sunday, Sept. 17, and featured dozens of events, from jet races to aerobatic stunt plane shows.

Started in 1964 by Bill Stead, the Reno Air Races have been held every year since, except for 2001. In 1966, the races were moved to the RenoStead Airport when the military air base closed and became a public airport.

The races have drawn a crowd well

over 100,000 for the past 10 years, and this year was no exception, although an official number of attendees has not been given.

There were six different race classes with a bronze, silver and gold race for each class. On top of the 18 races, and qualifying races, there were several civil and military air shows this year.

The “Texas Flying Legends Museum” showcased six WWII era planes. The pilots of these planes were not only highly skilled and pushed their 70 year old planes to the limits. “Betty’s

Parking at the University of Nevada, Reno, can be a time-consuming task, and finding alternative forms of transportation can be costly or take a lot of energy. Even with paying the parking pass permit fee, the walk to class could still take up to 20 minutes if the class is all the way across campus.

Students at UNR have called for improvements to be made to make transportation to campus more affordable and efficient. However, parking costs the university more than $1 million a year.

Michelle Horton, Assistant Director of Parking and Transportation Services, said her department is entirely self-funded from parking permits and citations.

“We spend about $900,000 on asphalt for parking lots and $500,000 for maintenance of the parking structures,” said Horton.

She explained that a new parking structure would cost Parking and Transportation Services a lot of money.

The national average spent on building a parking garage is more than $8 million, according to Fixr, a website that estimates the costs of building different structures.

Horton is working towards promoting carpooling, biking, or taking transit to school, and said Parking and Transportation Services is working with ASUN to make parking improvements for students.

For the Fall 2017 semester, parking services has sold 9,600 permit passes. The department is careful not to oversell the passes, and they count vacant spaces in the parking lots every week to ensure

there are enough available spaces.

Despite this, many students still stress they cannot find parking spots even with a parking pass.

“There are almost never spots and I’ve been late to so many classes cause I’m rushing from work,” said student Emy Quevedo.

But some students have found ways to overcome this same frustration.

Sarah Bowman, a sophomore, said she drives to school or takes the bus during the week depending on the day.

She personally does not have problems with finding a parking spot even with a parking permit because of her early class schedule, but she knows people that will drive around in circles never finding a spot.

Although the parking permits are available, students complain about the price of one for the school year. The annual silver zone pass, which allows students to park in particular parts of the parking garages on campus, costs $400.

Rosie Gully stresses the importance of having affordable options for students.

“My suggestion would be to either lower the prices or make it more convenient for students,” Gully said.

There is an affordable option for students that Parking and Transportation services funds—the Silver and Blue Line buses that drive around campus.

Students can ride this bus for free if they get on at a stop on campus, and the lines run to the private student housing complexes surrounding the university.

Title IX

Continued from page A1

Sexual assault is defined in Nevada as “any unwanted, forced, or coerced sexual act” that involves penetration of some kind, according to the UNR webpage on sexual assault.

The web page lists the steps to take if sexually assaulted, including reporting options, therapy resources and a number of hotlines designed to assist those affected by sexual assault.

The statute of limitations to report sexual assault in Nevada is 4 years if the victim is over the age of 18 when the assault occurs. If the victim is under 18, they have until they are 21 to report the assault.

In 2014, the university did a survey on sexual conduct and campus safety. The results showed that 80 percent of respondents knew their perpetrator, but only 9 percent reported the incident. Both women and men reported being sexually assaulted.

Almost 30 percent of the participants reported drinking before the assault, and 4 percent said they were given a drug involuntarily. Perpetrators reported that 11 percent of the time, they took advantage of an incapacitated person, and they were drinking themselves 33 percent of the time.

Victims of sexual assault are encouraged to contact the Title IX office for different resources available to them through the university. For more information, visit the sexual assault webpage at www.unr.edu/counseling/ sexual-assault-procedures and the Title IX frequently asked questions page at www.unr.edu/ eotix/faq.

A P-38, bottom, and an A-10, top, fly side by side during a demonstration of war planes on Sunday, Sept. 17. The flight showed the old and new planes at the Reno Air Races.

Dream”, a B-25J bomber, executed high speed turns and recreated bombing runs similar to ones it would perform during WWII. Another rare aircraft was in attendance at the air show on Sunday— the low altitude fly by of a B-2 “Spirit” bomber. A single B-2 costs around $2 billion. There are only 21 in existence, and fewer than that actively flying today. The B-2 is unique in that the entire body of the plane is a wing resembling one of Batman’s batarangs. Those who got to see the B-2 fly over the airfield this weekend got a once in a lifetime opportunity to see one of the the most expensive pieces of military equipment being used by the U.S. today, rivaling the cost of some of the aircraft carriers used by the Navy.

There were no crashes this year, but there were several emergency landings. Sunday morning one plane’s prop clipped the wing of another plane while getting in position before a race forcing both to land. No one was hurt during the collision. Andrew Findley, flying a sport class plane, also had to perform an emergency landing one lap into the Sport Class final race due to his engine overheating.

Findley had the second best qualifying time going into the final race.

The main event was the Unlimited class gold race. Only two of the planes were competitive this year: Voodoo and Strega. During the six lap race, the two planes overtook almost every other plane racing. As they lapped their competitors, it became more about positioning and maneuvering around one another rather than pure speed. Pilot Jay Consalvi piloting the WWII P-51 fighter plane “Strega” won in the end, only tenths of a second ahead of his opponent. This will be the thirteenth win for “Strega” and its 34th year racing.

Rick Vandam won for the Jet Class race in “American Spirit”. Jeff LaValle won for the Sport Class in “Race 39”. John Lohmar won the T-6 Class in “Radial Velocity”. Lowell Slatter won the Formula One Class in “Fraed Naught”. Andrew Buehler won the Bi-Plane Class in “Phantom”.

STUDENT LEADERS LOOK TO COMBAT RACISM, FIX MACKAY STADIUM President Noah Teixeira reported that he, along with Speaker Hannah Jackson, are working on a five-year plan to combat racism on campus. He said that students are looking for a culture change on campus since a student was identified nationally as a participant in a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville that turned violent. ASUN is working with the faculty senate to create this five-year plan. The plan would set goals every year, such as lowering the number of hate crimes on campus, adding diverse courses and more.

Teixeira also reported that the Association of Athletics at the University of Nevada, which funds the athletic department, is almost $5 million in deficit.

He will be working with them to help combat the deficit, but they haven’t settled on a plan yet. He also said they hope to have the renovation of Mackay Stadium done by the Hawaii game on Saturday, Oct. 6. The renovation would be more ADA compliant and include wheel-chair lifts. The renovations come after attendees complained the renovated stadium in the Fall of 2016 was not ADA compliant.

Young dancers at the Fiesta on Wells event show their moves in a traditional-style dance on Saturday, Sept. 16. Fiesta on Wells is one of many celebrations during Hispanic Heritage month in Reno.

Heritage

Continued from page A1

is dedicated to paying tribute to the generations of Hispanic Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society. Figures include Dolores Huerta, Cesar Chavez, Diego Rivera, Miguel Hidalgo, Frida Kahlo and more.

At Fiesta on Wells, Danna Brito assisted her mother in selling handmade jewelry and clothing that recognized Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo.

“America is a land based on immigrants and it’s important to show our culture and express it with everyone else,”

Brito said. “My mom makes them and she also brought some things from Mexico.

We have a lot of jewelry and painted materials that are all hand-made. It’s a way to support your local artists.”

Reno will also be hosting Fiesta Latin@! on Saturday, Sept. 23 at the BELIEVE sculpture downtown. The Reno community will be able to celebrate the Hispanic culture through music, food, and dance. At the end of the event, people will have the chance to march to the Aces Stadium for a Reno 1868 FC game. If the team wins the match against Portland Timbers 2, they will break the records for the most points won in United Soccer

League. The prestigious third tier of American football.

As community members honor those that made their mark Hispanic history, individuals work towards making their own.

“I am in law school currently in Sacramento studying immigration law,” Marco Lamas said. “Many of my clients come from a Latino background, I believe it’s good to give back to this community.

Especially with what’s going on with all these immigration issues. I believe I should give back.”

Although Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated through food, music, and dance, it is important to recognize why

the culture is recognized in the first place.

“I think it’s definitely important because so many people forget. I was a young immigrant here and I know it’s harder for first generation, second generation folks,” Hernández Chávez said. “It’s so important to know your culture because it’s a huge part of who you are. It always will be. Even if you don’t know about your culture it will be a part of you. It’s better to know about it than to have that mystery of who you are and what you stand for.”

Speaker Jackson said that she and Chief of Staff Carissa Bradley are working on a project that encourages women to run for leadership positions in clubs and organizations on campus.

The program, called Elect Her, is composed of a number of workshops and a panel full of women leaders to encourage women to get involved. She said they would be sending invitations to clubs and organizations soon. The event is on Saturday, Nov. 18.

SEAN KING TO SPEAK AT UNR

Assistant Director of Programming, Austin Lensch, filled in for Director Mia Kinel at the senate report. He encouraged the senators to pick up their tickets to see Sean King speak on campus on Monday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m. in the Glick Ballrooms. King is the second speaker in the ASUN Speaker Series, which encourages the free flow of ideas and diversity on campus. Students and faculty can pick up their tickets to the event at the front desk of the Center for Student Engagement on the third floor of the Joe Crowley Student Union with their WolfCard.

City Council to expel strip clubs, adult stores from downtown

By Madeline Purdue The Reno City Council voted on Wednesday, Sept. 14, to write new ordinances that would rid downtown of strip clubs in the next five years, and move them to properly zoned industrial areas.

The council also voted for the new ordinances to prohibit digital outdoor signs outside of strip clubs in the next six months and prohibit alcohol sales at improperly zoned clubs.

The ordinances will take effect after they are reviewed by the Reno Planning Commission. They also need to pass two more votes by the city council.

The council voted 5-2 to start the process of writing new ordinances, saying Reno needs to remove strip clubs from downtown if it wants to continue to revitalize the area, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.

Mayor Hillary Schieve, who helped initiate the effort to clear downtown of sexually oriented businesses, voted against the alcohol restriction and relocating the already existing clubs.

According to the RGJ, the Wild Orchid owner announced the digital

sign outside the strip club would come down, hoping the gesture would stop the other restrictions.

Despite the effort, the council still voted for strip clubs to be relocated.

The Wild Orchid stopped displaying explicit images once the city announced they were going to rewrite the ordinances for strip clubs, and instead started promoting other businesses. However, it has been turned off since Wednesday night.

Nick Vanderpoel, a lobbyist representing the Keshmiri Group, which owns the strip club, told the RGJ the sign would come down once they found a contractor to remove it.

As of now, only one of the seven sexually oriented businesses in Reno is properly located. The ordinances would relocate the other six to the industrial areas on Mill Street and Stead Boulevard.

According to studies presented in the council, industrial areas are less affected by activities that are influenced by strip clubs, such as prostitution, crime and drug use.

The Wild Orchid strip club as it stands on Monday, Sept. 18. The Reno City Council voted to remove the establishment, along with other sexually oriented business, out of Downtown Reno and into industrial areas, claiming crime and prostitution won’t affect those areas as strongly.

By Emily Fisher Surrounding the University of Nevada, Reno, is a lively city full of unique local shops, delicious places to eat and a multitude of choices for entertainment.

WHERE

Andrea Wilkinson/Nevada Sagebrush

Cars enter and exit the Brian J. Whalen parking compex on Monday, Sept. 18. The number of parking spots on campus continues to dwindle as parking lots are turned into university buildings.

According to the Parking and Transportation Services website, the RTC also offers discounted bus passes for students who live off-campus, but these passes are still costly at $230 a year.

Another affordable option is getting a free parking permit for the Circus Circus parking garage, of which Horton said there are still plenty left. With this permit, you can park on the top two levels of the garage, and either walk or ride the Sierra Spirit Bus towards campus.

As for losing parking spaces to construction sites, Horton says there’s no need to worry, as her department knew this was coming and planned

ahead.

Early this summer, 62 spaces were lost to make way for a new fine arts building. However, behind the medical school, there is the recently-zoned Tan Permit Zone with 298 spaces that is meant to counteract the loss of parking spaces to construction.

“Those spaces are always open, no matter the time of day. Students are worried about there not being enough spaces, but there are,” Horton said.

The Reno Wine Walk is a cavalcade of rapscallions and vagabonds. By that, I mean hipsters who spend hours meticulously perfecting their hair in order to appear that they don’t care what their hair looks like and middle-aged soccer moms escaping the monotony of domesticity.

The Reno Wine Walk is like one giant bachelorette party: the woo girls, the tipsy abandon, the plethora of phallicshaped miscellaneous objects, older women observing the mayhem with knowing smiles. Also, there were several actual bachelorette parties along the way. Most people were probably unable to notice, but my investigative journalism training gave me the acute instinct to pick up on the clues of one woman’s sash, veil, garter over her jeans and bouquet of plastic pink penises (penisi?).

Without further ado, here is my recounting of the Reno Wine Walk on Sept. 16, 2017. I was accompanied by the incomparable Will Keys. It is subject to inaccuracies for the obvious reasons.

THE JUNGLE

DOGFEST WALK ‘N ROLL DATE: Saturday TIME: 9:00 a.m.

LOCATION: Rancho San

Rafael Park INFO: Apparently doggos are not just good at having floofy faces and boop-able noses.

Canine Companions for Independence and the Center for Student Engagement are teaming up to fundraise for support animals. Events include a scenic stroll, festival activities and a barbecue. If nothing else, come out to pat a pupper on the head and tell them that they’re a good boy (or girl.)

SHAUN KING DATE: Monday TIME: 7 p.m.

LOCATION: Glick Ballrooms INFO: Shaun King, writer for the New York Daily News and an outstanding figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, is coming to speak at UNR. He will touch on such topics as institutionalized racism, police brutality and much more. Admittance is free to students but you have to get a ticket in advance.

Tickets are available at the ASUN Center for Student Engagement on the third Joey Thyne can be reached jthyne@sagebrush.unr.edu and on Twitter @joey_thyne

After going to Five-Star Saloon and the Waterfall (which sources confirm is a place that exists) and being turned away because of a shortage of maps, we came to the Jungle. The Jungle is my favorite spot in Reno to get both a frappuccino and a long island iced tea. The Jungle wins for dopest wine glasses. I got one with a Harry Potter design painted on it, reading “Accio Wine.” Thank you for

making my alcoholism magical. The wine they gave out was very sweet, with a tropical taste, almost Kool-Aid-esque.

It was fruit-forward, fruit-backward and fruit-sideways.

SIERRA TAP HOUSE By far the worst part of the wine walk was waiting in line. Unbeknownst to me, the wine walk is a big deal and a lot of people show up. I am an aggressively impatient being, and listening to people’s idiotic conversations while my buzz dissipates is not my idea of a fun Saturday afternoon. The wine line design was fine but not what Thyne had in mind. Once inside Sierra Tap House, I got a merlot.

It had an aftertaste that makes you say to yourself, “mmm, yep, that certainly tastes like wine.” At Sierra Tap House, I came to the gradual realization that the taste of the previous wines never quite leaves your glass, so each following sample contributes to a sort of mishmash jungle juice flavor roller coaster.

DUVAL FILM GALLERY I never knew this place existed, but by the grace of God and the Reno Wine Walk, it was introduced into my life. It is a collection of stills by a local photographer and cameraman. Very neat. We got pinot grigio. The pinot was herbaceous but the grigio was not so herbaceous.

As we sipped, we watched a street performer tap dance and sing classics like “My Girl” and “Downtown.”

OLE BRIDGE PUB This place had sangria, which made me think to myself, “oh heck yeah.”

Sangria brings back fond memories of drinking too much of it junior year and blacking out. Good times.

SIERRA KITCHEN & COCKTAILS Now is where things start to get a little fuzzy. This place looks like where the Reno mafia would meet up. I can’t quite recall what type of wine I got, but it was definitely perfumed and robust.

LIBERTY & WINE FOOD EX-

CHANGE This place gets extra points for pouring their wine out of classy glass carafes.

Just as I was being served someone came by and dropped off two full carafes, and I said, “Are those for me?” It was so funny. Everyone laughed. I had difficulty enjoying my off-dry and nouveau wine because the food smelled so dang tasty.

RENO ENVY This place gets extra points for serving Franzia boxed wine. Now we’re talking. I decided to go with the chillable red over the sunset blush. There was a group of bros snapchatting themselves screaming “Saturday’s are for the boys.” It was fricken’ rad! While drinking, I perused all of the hilarious merchandise Reno eNVy has to offer. There is a shirt which reads “I’m a 10 (in Reno).” Get it?

Because people in Reno are so ugly.

in the dwindling last half an hour.

After eating, we walked out into the brisk Reno evening. It almost felt like autumn. There was vomit in the gutters and people imploring strangers for spare cigarettes. We ordered an Uber and we went back to Will’s apartment. While watching college football on television, we both slipped into blissful wine comas. After the Reno Wine Walk, I would definitely consider myself an expert wino: a winoceros, if you will.

NOBLE PIE PARLOR After a few hours of walking and wining, Will and I decided to call it a day. Although Noble Pie was a participating location in the wine walk, I ordered food and water. Sidenote: the Noble Pie bathrooms are stupidly complicated to find, especially when you’re drunk at 4 p.m. The bathrooms were certainly aromatic. Noble Pie had actually run out of wine. As I stuffed my face with pizza and garlic fries to soak up the reds and whites battling in my stomach, people would meander in, giddy on the presumption that they would be receiving wine. Once they discovered the contrary, they were shocked, personally offended. Sobriety crept in at the edges of their brain, latent responsibilities and worries which were mutually exclusive from the wine walk began rearing their ugly heads.

They rushed out, direly searching for another location who could serve them

Literary Crawl: More than poetry over a pint

By Paolo Zialcita Nevada Humanities celebrated literature and arts in the most Reno way possible: organizing a crawl. The organization threw the fourth annual Literary Crawl on Saturday, Sept. 16. This year’s theme was “Crawl Off the Page”.

The Literary Crawl aims to create an “exploratory afternoon and evening of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry readings”, according to promotional materials from the event. The program invites writers from the Northern Nevada region to speak at different events.

Nevada Humanities first started this event after they felt the Reno community needed a literary event. This year’s Literary Crawl was the largest yet.

“We’re featuring over 60 writers, artists and performers, sharing their work in the form of general poetry readings or sessions that are panel discussions about different ideas about romance and feminism for example,” said Stephanie Gibson, Program Manager at Nevada Humanities.

The Literary Crawl, while rooted in traditional written literature, broadened their horizons to include different types of art. Events this year also marked a larger focus on journalists, filmmakers and artists.

“We took the opportunity this year to think about the written word in all its form,” Gibson said. “We want to expand on that notion of what a literary crawl is.

It’s not just simply poetry over a pint.”

The afternoon’s events were structured like a story. The “prologue” was set at Sundance Books and Music, where at-

tendees could learn the Crawl’s events and path. From there, crawlers could go to events at any of the 12 locations participating, such as Truckee Bagel Company and Pignic Pub and Patio.

From there, there were three different hour-long “chapters” during which events were held. Some notable events included a 21+ panel about correspondence in literature featuring former University of Nevada, Reno president, Joe Crowley, and a poetry reading by men formerly incarcerated at Northern Nevada Correctional Center.

A featured author during “Chapter 3” was Todd Borg, a local author who writes mystery fiction books set in Lake Tahoe, who spoke about writing about threatening antagonists. Borg was one of many local Reno authors to be featured in the event.

The crawl led to the keynote speaker, Adam Johnson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and professor at Stanford University. The event was held in the Nevada Museum of Art and sold out within a few days. In a discussion hosted by UNR history professor, Dr. Hugh Shapiro, Johnson read from his award winning book The Orphan Master’s Son, a fiction novel about life in North Korea.

During the keynote event, Johnson and Shapiro discussed visits to North Korea, propaganda, and everyday life for North Koreans.

“His writing is especially important right now and seems especially timely,” Gibson said, “So we took the opportunity to invite him to Northern Nevada and he eagerly agreed.”

The Literary Crawl will return in September 2018 for their fifth annual event.

Movie Review

“mother!” is not for everyone, but it was never supposed to be.

It’s definitely not the straightforward horror movie the trailers make it out to be, nor is it a home invasion thriller like David Fincher’s “Panic Room.” That’s okay. Even if most people don’t like it, or even hate it (which plenty of critics have admitted to), Aronofsky has done his job.

His movies are made to stir up some kind of visceral emotion, bad or good. With “mother!”, there really isn’t a lot of in between, but that’s the kind of polarizing quality some directors set out to accomplish.

Since the advent of surrealist film, general audiences have largely condemned movies that break the traditional mold or challenge them, dating as far back as 1929 when co-directors Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel kept rocks in their pockets at the premiere of “Un Chien Andalou” to protect themselves from an angry crowd that the movie was designed to insult. That’s not to say “mother!” insults its audience, but about half of them will want their money back while the other half waits to buy another round of tickets for the next showing.

In an industry where formula and studio oversight has overtaken creative singularity, “mother!” is an exception.

It’s not an easy watch by any means, and it certainly takes a few opportunities to push the audience’s buttons, but sometimes the audience needs to get their buttons pushed and their boundaries stretched, and there’s no one better at doing that than Darren Aronofsky.

he closest

Darren Aronofsky makes movies that are not for everyone.

Occasionally, it feels like his movies are for no one other than himself — and maybe they are.

In his career, he’s earned commercial and critical success with movies like “The Wrestler” and “Black Swan,” and he’s achieved cult status with “Requiem for a Dream.” His newest effort, “mother!”, is unapologetically Aronofsky, and although it won’t win over most critics and moviegoers, it’s an entirely unique film worth the price of admission.

It’s important to note that “mother!” likely wouldn’t have gotten the financial backing to get off the ground without a star-laden cast that believed in the script, and it shows in their respective performances.

Jennifer Lawrence plays a housewife trying to rebuild a fire-destroyed house while her poet husband (Javier Bardem) struggles to break his writer’s block.

What appears to be a tranquil marriage is tested, along with Lawrence’s sanity, when a stranger (Ed Harris) and his family begin to intrude on their lives.

From the outset, “mother!” feels fairly by-the-numbers, at least by Aronofsky’s standards. But like with most of his filmography, “mother!” unravels very quickly and the illusion of stability starts to wear off with every passing moment.

Things go from good, to okay, to bad, to very bad, to apocalyptically bad. And even that might be an understatement. Although the disintegration of the plot in “mother!” is uncomfortable, thanks in part to a convincing breakdown by Lawrence and a lot of tight, claustrophobic tracking shots, it’s also what keeps the audience in their seats.

Most of the Aronofsky cata-

logue plays like a Greek tragedy — addiction in “The Wrestler” and “Requiem for a Dream,” body dysmorphia in “Black Swan” — “mother!” serves as an overarching biblical allegory that stretches all the way from “Creation” to “Revelations” and quite a bit of angry God and smiting in the meantime. It’s about as ambitious a task as a director can undertake, but Aronofsky manages to package it all in a couple of hours and tie it up with an

Downtown adult businesses shafted in City Council vote

O

n Wednesday, Sept. 13, the Reno City Council decided in a 5-2 vote to pursue new rules that would force downtown and midtown adult businesses to relocate to properly zoned industrial areas. The decision came after more than a year of debate with community support on both sides.

The ordinance would force six of the seven improperly zoned adult business to move from their current residences to industrial areas. Fantasy

Girls, Men's Club, Wild Orchid, Spice House, Suzie's and Libido Adult Store and Theater would be forced to remove outdoor digital signs within six months, cease from serving alcohol and relocate within five years.

Those in favor of the ordinance hope it will help the revitalization of downtown, and they claim strip clubs have a negative effect on their surroundings through crime, prostitution, drug use and declining property value. The city attorney’s office pointed to national studies showing increased crime and

“FAKE NEWS” IN REVIEW

By Ryan Suppe and Joey Thyne

INTERNATIONAL KIM JONG-UN’S GIRLFRIEND REASSURES DICTATOR THAT MISSILE DYSFUNCTION “HAPPENS TO EVERYONE” North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un has reportedly been receiving encouragement from his girlfriend regarding his missile dysfunction as of late.

“It’s a fact of life,” Kim’s girlfriend told him after his most recent failed attempt at a fully functioning missile launch. “Aging missiles lose thrust capacity and longevity over time, and sometimes you just can’t get them up like you used to.”

Kim’s girlfriend reminded him that he’s still a young man with many missile launches ahead of him, considering government documents show he’s been a youthful 18-year-old for the past 15 years, and anyway, missile dysfunction doesn’t define your manhood.

Experts say missile dysfunction can be passed down from leader to leader, it can be a result of lack of confidence in missile size and capabilities or it can stem from excess plumpness and clogging surrounding the launch pad.

At press time, Kim was reportedly consulting experts and deciding which treatment is best for his unique condition.

prostitution surrounding strip clubs in cities around the country; however, the data did not include the neighborhoods and businesses in question.

Strip club owners, employees, lawyers and patrons argue the city is trying to dictate morality, while the adult businesses are meant for harmless adult entertainment.

Mayor Hillary Schieve and Councilwoman Neoma Jardon were responsible for the initial effort to move adult business out of downtown, but they were eventually the only two “no”

votes on the ordinance. Jardon decided there was not sufficient data regarding safety concerns to force the businesses to relocate.

While the moral arguments are persuasive, it’s not the job of the City Council to make decisions based on morality. And that’s to say nothing of the fact that supporters of the ordinance have based their argument on national statistics irrelevant to this specific case.

Supporters have also evoked speculations of criminal activity taking place in the strip clubs

gathered by a private investigator. The catch here is that the city refuses to release that P.I.’s findings, and the city’s Chief of Police, Jason Soto, says his department isn’t investigating any of the P.I.’s findings.

If the City Council wants to remove adult businesses from downtown and midtown, they should tell it like it is. This move is about a continued revitalization effort, increasing property value and improving the image of downtown and midtown Reno, it’s not about crime. If crime was a real factor, the logi-

E

xcluding transgender soldiers from serving the United States in the Armed Forces will go down as one of President Trump’s most foolish decisions in his administration. And that is really saying something!

On the verge of perpetual war in Afghanistan, nuclear war in North Korea, and further meddling in the Syrian civil war, President Trump is hell-bent on kicking out thousands of brave men and Patrick women because Hardin they do not see themselves as the gender they were identified with at birth. He uses military readiness and high healthcare costs as reasons for his directives. Both reasons are utterly, totally, and unequivocally ridiculous. Military readiness would

not be affected by including transgender people in the ranks of the greatest fighting force in the world.

History is on the side of inclusion, as our military was not hindered when we expanded ranks to people of color, women, and openly queer. In fact, our military was strengthened when more people could answer the call to service.

The monetary costs of furnishing gender replacement therapy to our soldiers is relatively small. Some $8 million according to a study commissioned by the Department of Defense. $8 million, out of a budget of $580 billion dollars, or 0.0014 percent. Even if the costs were one thousand times greater, or one penny out of every defense dollar, I still would support funding gender replacement therapy. Why? We need to do better by and for our troops.

Twenty three percent of the homeless in this country are veterans, as provided by the National Coalition for the Homeless. The Department of Veterans Affairs found that roughly

20 veterans commit suicide every day. At least 12 percent of veterans suffer from PTSD at some point in their lives. Backlogs seem to be synonymous with the VA. We send our bravest off to fight in a foreign land for reasons most of us do not know or understand. Many who do return are scarred both physically and mentally if they do return alive.

Our citizenry can never do enough to repay servicemen and women for their valor, but we must always keep trying to repay, damned be the costs. If some of our bravest ask for assistance in living their authentic self, then it is our duty as citizens to assist in that effort, again costs be damned. Citizens should come to the aid of their servicemen and women, regardless of whether they are cis or transgender.

Another reason we need to stand up for transgender soldiers is that we need to stand up for transgender people altogether. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that when it comes to transgender people, it is

LOCAL RENO RIVERWALK DISTRICT ANNOUNCES “VAPE STROLL.” Following the success of the Reno Wine Walk and Beer Crawl, the Riverwalk District will be hosting a “vape stroll.” Vaping, of course, refers to the use of electronic cigarette devices.

“It’s nice to see representation for our group,” said self-proclaimed ‘vape-lord’ Derek Schweizer. “By the way, did you know that it’s better for you than smoking cigarettes?” Sanders uses 24mg nicotine e-liquid.

Patrons can go to various bars downtown and sample various vape flavors. Sierra Tap House has their feature “Boysengasm.” Ole Bridge Pub created “Cherry Apocalypse” especially for this event. The Stick has their signature “Menthol Gonorrhea.” The Rack will showcase their new “Alan Alda” flavor.

Prizes will be given out for whoever can blow the biggest cloud, illest French inhale, dankest dragon and the chillest O’s.

TMCC is now offering classes in vape tasting in order to refine students’ vape palettes.

The vape stroll will be held every 69th day of the year.

GONE TOO SOON: NATION MOURNS THE DEATH OF THE OLD TAYLOR SWIFT She burst onto the scene in an instant, reached worldwide acclaim and adoration and then seemed to disappear just as suddenly, far too soon.

The old Taylor Swift (born Oct. 24, 2006 with the release of her self-titled album entitled Taylor Swift), whose life was filled with dating controversies, slut-shaming, celebrity feuds, stylish lawsuit victories, platinum records and a constant public struggle between her image as “America’s Sweetheart” - a down-to-earth country girl with her feet planted firmly to the ground, her heart belonging to adoring young fans, recognized in every Hollister around the globe - and her image as “America’s bad girl” - who had no problem shaking off issues with Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, Harry Styles, various music critics and Kanye West’s mom, has died tragically and controversially in a music video at just 10 years old.

Witnesses at the grave of the old Taylor Swift reported that, shockingly, the old Taylor Swift was resurrected as a flesh-eating zombie.

cal move would be to eliminate adult business completely, not just move them to a less populated part of town.

Until the City Council can show that adult businesses’ mere presence in the area poses a substantial safety concern, the revitalization of downtown and midtown Reno is not a sufficient reason to force businesses out.

Potesters hold up signs in support of transgender people in the military at the White House in Washington D.C. on July 29, 2017.

encouraged for people who oppose transgenderism to go out of their way to be total jerks. It seems that in order to be hostile to transgender people, it must be a deliberate and concerted effort on the part of the jerk. This includes referring to the transgender person by their past names, asking for papers or other “proof” that they are the gender they say they are, and dictating what restrooms they can go into. If people keep to themselves, and not actively stand in the way, the whole issue of being transgender will cease to exist.

After all, there is no biological or social need for fixed gender expression from birth to death. The world will not end because someone wore a dress or changed their name, hair, or anything. When someone tells you their name or their gender, it is easiest, wisest, and best to trust them on it.

When it comes to transgendered people and care in the Armed Forces it boils down to this: The United States should not turn away any able and willing person, especially in times of war. Those who do enlist should be entitled to the best care possible and should not be condemned to a life of extreme poverty or hardship because of their sacrifice to their country. Finally, it is the duty of the citizenry to see to it that veterans receive all the care and assistance they so need or seek, in gratitude for the veteran’s service. Anyone else notice that there were no gendered pronouns, or any mention of color, creed, sexual orientation, or other similar characteristics. I’ll just leave it at that.

P.S. Oh yeah, one more thing. How do we pay for that $8 million? Two ideas. We can raise alcohol taxes by one-tenth of one percent or install an excise tax on tattoos. I can personally guarantee that the students of the University of Nevada, Reno, will cover the entire $8 million in one week. Or we could replace the dollar Patrick Hardin is a Noted Idiot.

Sports stole another campus building

L

ast week, a dedication ceremony at the former Lombardi Recreation Center honored Nevada basketball alumnus Ramon Sessions for his $1 million donation to help renovate Lombardi and turn it into a new practice facility for the Nevada basketball team.

I’m wondering why I wasn’t consulted when administrators decided the former gym would be obtainable by a campus organization with a hefty donation from a prominent Nevada Ryan figure. If I had Suppe known, I would’ve provided my own Soup of the calculated ideas Day about what new practical center, institution or facility could’ve replaced Lombardi.

If students had democratically voted on a new structure they surely would’ve gone for something like an In N’ Out Burger, a skatepark or a hostel for all the newly displaced fraternity men of Sigma Nu and SAE. However, new buildings need donors because they aren’t cheap. The following prominent Nevada people really dropped the ball on this opportunity, in my opinion. If anyone asked me what I think should’ve replaced Lombardi, I would’ve had some great ideas. Unfortunately, nobody did. Here’s to what could have been instead of more basketball courts:

“Since I was eight years old I lived in a dorm,” said coach You. “I always lived in a dorm, until 35 years old.”

Nevada Head Diving Coach Jian

Li You was born in Shanghai, China, where she resided for 14 fruitful years.

At eight years old You became the first person in her family to be picked by her country to be an athlete.

“In China they pick you. It’s not like you choose diving,” You said.

From eight to 14 You trained tirelessly to improve. At such an impressionable age, You only saw her family once a week, the rest of which she’d stay at her dorm for training. Soon enough once

a week turned into once a year, as she made her move to Beijing at 14 after selection by China’s higher level diving team.

“I missed them (her family),” You said. “But we were training eight to 10 hours a day, so you really don’t have time to think about it.”

You quickly became a household name in China, rising through the ranks with a swiftness as she earned the title of Chinese National Champion in the

1-meter and 3-meter springboard. In addition to those accolades You was also the upper echelon of divers on platform for five years, from 1976 to 1980. But it’s not as if diving in China didn’t come with its challenges.

When asked what the hardest thing was to overcome at her meets You answered “the pressure.”

“In China it’s really different from here, said You.” “Every meet you go to they tell you, ‘you have to do good. You can’t miss it.’”

Even with the large amounts of pressure, You still persevered. In 1980, You was named to the Chinese Olympic team and ranked No. 1 in the world on the 1-meter board.

Even with all of the fame and glory that came with being a star studded athlete, You stayed humble.

“I really don’t care about the fame or making big money,” You said.

With You’s already decorated diving career one would figure she didn’t need someone to look up to anymore.

Quite the contrary because just as any other person she too had a role model in the diving community. You looked up to American Diver Greg Louganis and were supposed to meet him at the 1980 summer Olympic games in Moscow, had the United States along with 65 other countries not boycotted the event. But both teams had friendly meets with one another, so You did get to meet her hero.

“So exciting to see him because this is my hero,” said You. “This is what I’m looking to be. I want to be like him. All Chinese divers in my generation were like that.”

Usually upon meeting someone so vital to one’s life purpose, people either experience a peak like effect and give in from there, or become even more inspired than before. You embodied the latter, using this meeting as fuel. While her diving career did come to an end shortly after, her trophy case continued to expand for years to come.

In 1995 You finally made the move from China to the United States, when she was offered the opportunity of a lifetime to help coach the 1996 Olympic diving team.

You’s debut as a US Olympic coach ensured she’d have a coaching job somewhere in the country. But where to choose?

“At that time I had Minnesota and Arizona,” said You. “But I didn’t even think about it because I knew I wanted a small town. I wanted a small school because I’m from a big city and I don’t like it.”

After being recruited by ex-Nevada swim and dive head coach Mike Anderson, You found herself at a school that knew little to nothing about diving.

“When I got here I only had two

divers and they didn’t know anything,” said You. “It was really amateur. I didn’t recruit them, they just came and dived for the team. First thing, I straightened up how to train. Swimming and diving are different and they had a tough time transitioning.”

Nevada’s swimming-only culture changed with a quickness as You coached three WAC Divers of the year; Christie Butler 2001, Kate Oinessin 2002 and Grace Huang 2012. You also helped Coach Krysta Palmer to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Trials eventually helping Palmer land a spot on team USA. Most recently she worked with Sharae Zheng to sweep all three diving competitions at the 2017 MW Championships. In just two decades You transformed Nevada into a revered diving school.

You changed the nature of diving at Nevada by making her divers work hard and understand what the sport is truly about.

“I just tell them that diving is a beauty of events,” said You. “There are a lot of coaches that don’t pay attention to that part. To me that’s the priority. The beauty of it.”

Along with the beauty that is required in performing a dive, You also understands how to split her time between being a drill sergeant and a best friend.

“Practice is pretty tight,” You said. “I discipline them, I’m pretty tough. But at the meet I really want them to enjoy their time and have fun. Going to the meet is pretty loose. I want them to enjoy their experience and journey.

While coach You is the team’s diving coach, she also understands there is more to diver development than diving itself.

“I want them first, to become good students and good people,” said You. “I always tell them your school is first, then your person. You have to be a good person to be a good athlete.”

Even though You does care about developing her divers holistically, she is also extremely tough on them.

“All my kids who graduate say ‘Jian Li you’re so tough, but I did it and It was worth it,’” You said. “When you move on with life the discipline is useful.”

Nevada diving coach Jian Li You continues to be the benchmark for diving coaches around the world.

Wolf Pack Volleyball skid stretches Alvarez-GGG ends in draw to nine-game losing streak

By Javier Hernandez After being on the road for the majority of its non-conference games, the Nevada Volleyball team (2-10, 0-0 MWC) returned home to host the three-day Wolf Pack Tournament from September 14-17 at the Virginia Street Gym. The Wolf Pack played three games in three days against Sacramento State, Missouri, and Pepperdine.

Below is a game-by-game recap of the tournament.

VS. SACRAMENTO STATE The Wolf Pack faced off against the Sacramento State Hornets (9-5) last Thursday in the first game of the Wolf Pack Tournament.

In the first set, the Wolf Pack played solid defense led by freshman Kayla Afoa who forced two attack errors in the early going. Nevada doubled up on Sacramento State Hornets, taking an early 6-3 lead.

Sacramento State hung around for most of the set, with solid play from its hitters Mikaela Nocetti and Brie Garthright.

A service ace by setter Shannon Boyle tied up the first set at 11 points apiece. From that point, it continued to be a back and forth match between the two teams.

Tied at 22, a couple of misconnections by Sam Hayward and Peighton De Von gave the Hornets a the small bit of separation needed to take the tightly contested first set.

The Hornets rode the momentum of the end of the first set to come out strong in the second set, taking an early 6-1 advantage, warranting a timeout from Nevada Head Coach Lee Nelson.

After the break, Nevada was able to slowly get back into the set as they went on a 6-3 run to close the gap to 12-8. De Von was able to connect on two key kills to give the Wolf Pack some much-needed momentum.

Nevada was able to close the set with a critical run later on by capitalizing on a 10-1 run to take the second set 25-21.

The next couple of sets were closely contested. However, the Hornets were the ones who were able to gain key separation in the middle of the set.

Sacramento State went on to win the two sets and the match.

Nevada’s Hoeft had 20 kills on the day as she was mostly assisted by freshman Dalyn Burns who asisted on 50 of Nevada’s points in the match.

The only other player to score double-digit kills was Fresenius who had 15 on the night.

VS. MISSOURI Nevada put forth a valiant effort in the second game of the tournament against the Missouri Tigers.

The Wolf Pack had a balanced attack with Shayla Hoeft, Jamila Minor, and Kayla Afoa hitting ten kills apiece. Dalyn Burns, the Wolf Pack setter, assisted 48 times in the match.

With the match tied at one frame apiece, the Wolf Pack found themselves with an opportunity to take a set lead with the set tied at 25. Missouri was able to score in the race to win by two. However, Nevada’s Afoa and Hoeft contributed an important kill and block respectively to give them the lead. With solid defense in the next point, Nevada was able to take the set.

The Tigers fired back in the fourth set to force a deciding fifth frame. In the race to 15, with the score tied at eight, Mis-

souri scored seven unanswered to take the set and the match.

VS. PEPPERDINE In the final game of the tournament, the Wolf Pack fell to the Pepperdine Waves. The Wolf Pack fell behind two sets to open the match.

Tied at 23 in the first set, Nevada had an opportunity to take the opening set. However, the Wave’s Jasmine Gross followed by a service ace by Heidi Dyer secured the set for Pepperdine.

They also had an opportunity late in the second set with the game being tied at 19. However, the Wave’s ran off a 4-0 run to give them the late-set separation to take the set.

Nevada kept the Wave attack at bay in the third set as they used a 4-0 run to take a 20-15 lead. They were able to extinguish a late run by Pepperdine as Jamila Minor, who had eight kills on the day, and Ayla Fresenius both had kills that helped secure the set.

In the deciding set, Pepperdine ran off a demoralizing 9-1 run to give them an insurmountable lead towards the latter part of the set. They eventually took the set and the match.

The Nevada Volleyball team was led by Hoeft, De Von, and Fresenius who all had doubledigit kills in the match.

The Wolf Pack Tournament marks the end of the out of conference schedule for the Wolf Pack. They will have a quick turnaround and begin Mountain West Conference play on Tuesday when they play the San Jose State Spartans at the Virginia Street Gym.

Gennady Golovkin posing for a photo in 2013. Golovkin fought Saul Canelo Alvarez last Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

By Javier Hernandez For years, boxing fans clamored for a fight that many prognosticators believed to be a stylistic matchup that can rival that of the heavyweight fights from boxing’s golden age.

On one side, Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin, more famously known as GGG, was a man who was dropping fighters left and right in boxing’s middleweight division. Golovkin is a pressure fighter who relentlessly stalks his opponents and bombards them with his fiery heavy-hitting fists.

Despite having an undefeated record, his legacy has always been questioned because of the lack of a career defining win.

In the other corner, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, was a rising star in the boxing ranks, gaining the reputation as the sport’s next cash cow following the retirement of the likes of megastars Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Fighting since the age of 15, Canelo has been able to add the likes of Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley on his resume.

He has dazzled with his boxing fundamentals, precision, and counterpunching. However, critics argue that he has never really defeated a quality fighter in his prime.

Unlike the disappointment that was Mayweather vs. Pacquiao, last Saturday’s fight was an old-school fight of two A-level boxers at their peaks. Canelo and Golovkin are fighters that equally depended on each other in order to earn their right to be in the discussion as one of the sport of boxing’s greats.

The matchup itself lived up the hype as both Canelo and Golovkin had their moments where they imposed their strengths on the other.

Early in the fight, Canelo was able to keep the pressure fighter at bay with his counter hooks and shots to the body. It was a sight that was unseen for most of Golovkin’s career as he was unable to walk his opponent down as easily as he did against other fighters.

In the middle rounds, it seemed like Golovkin was able to flip the script and showed no respect for Canelo’s power. He seemed to be taking all of Canelo’s big shots without flinching. However, more importantly, he was able to deliver heavy shots of his own. For a while, it seemed like Golovkin was able to turn the tide and take control of the match.

As the final bell rung, one could argue for a decision that could have gone either way. As both fighters retreated to their corners, hands held high, the pro-Canelo crowd seemed to applaud for a performance that delivered and lived up to the hype.

The fight ended in a draw as the judges scored the bout 118-110 Canelo, 115-113 Golovkin, and 114-114. The fight was close enough and entertaining enough that a draw is the correct outcome.

Last Saturday’s 118-110 score drew an outpouring of harsh criticism from many, even drawing boos from the pro-Canelo crowd At the post-fight conference, both fighters wanted a rematch as both fighters believe that they won the fight. For the moment, the answer to who is the top boxer in middleweight division remains to be seen.

GAME PREDICTIONS West Virginia at Kansas Pick: WVU -20.5 West Virginia has been coming off of back-to-back cupcake games against East Carolina and Delaware State. The Mountaineers may be in a prime spot for a let-down game with their big matchup against Texas Tech the following week Winning by three touchdowns should not be a problem against a historically bad Kansas Jayhawks team.

SCORE PREDICTION: West Virginia 48 Kansas 14

TCU at #7 Oklahoma State Pick: Oklahoma State -11.5

TCU has been impressive this year as they were able to hold Arkansas to seven points in their Week 2 matchup. They have a high powered offense that could rival that of the Cowboys of Oklahoma State.

I thought that this Oklahoma State team was like the high powered Chip Kelly Oregon Teams. I was wrong. They are better since they actually have a defense. The Cowboys are 3-0 against the spread this season. They are the weekly locks of the week until they lose.

SCORE PREDICTION: Oklahoma State 59 TCU 31

#3 Oklahoma at Baylor Pick: Oklahoma -25.5 Boomer Sooner. Baker Mayfield has the Oklahoma Sooners looking like a playoff contender this year.

With a line as big as 25.5, I’m not so much as confident with the pick because of how good the Sooners are but because of how bad Baylor has been this year.

The Bears are like the anti-Oklahoma State for me. Fade them until they prove me otherwise.

SCORE PREDICTION: Oklahoma 42 Boston College 10

UNLV at #10 Ohio State Pick: Ohio State -39.5 While the Buckeyes’ secondary was shaky against Oklahoma, their defensive line is still absolutely loaded. The Rebels do not have the firepower to hang with Ohio State.

By Brandon Cruz Nevada football lost another game this past Saturday against a division two opponent in the Idaho State Bengals. This was Nevada’s second loss at home and third loss overall. Nevada almost had more rushing yards in this game than its previous two combined with Jaxson Kincaide and Kelton Moore each racking up 96 yards on the ground, with another 26 coming from Blake Wright and true freshman QB Kaymen Cureton. Cureton had a decent debut through the air gaining 205 yards on 19 receptions, along with three touchdowns and one interception, all totaling to a dismal QBR of 32.1.

Idaho State opened the game on a 50-yard drive that resulted in a field goal from Idaho State kicker Parker Johnson. The team moved down the field with a balanced offense, the main gain coming from a 42-yard connection from Idaho State QB Tanner Gueller to Nate Page.

3-0 IDAHO STATE

Once Nevada received the ball Cureton looked good on his first four snaps, going three for four for 24 yards. Cureton then ended his first drive as a college quarterback with an interception from Idaho State’s Brandon Moore.

With awful field position, Nevada’s defense was forced to start the game in its own red zone. Idaho State’s Ty Flanagan capped off the 25-yard drive with a one-yard TD run.

10-0 IDAHO STATE The next drive for both teams would result in no points, as Nevada would turn the ball over on downs and Idaho State went three and out punting the ball back to Nevada.

Cureton and the offense started its next drive on its own 42-yard line. After a run-heavy attack got Nevada all the way down the field, Nevada’s true freshman QB got his first touchdown of the season on a two-yard TD pass to McLane Mannix.

10-7 IDAHO STATE

After getting the drive to Nevada’s 16, Idaho State incurred a false start penalty pushing them back to Nevada’s 21. Idaho State failed to pick up more than four yards, forcing

a successful field goal attempt for the Bengals.

13-7 STATE

IDAHO

On Nevada’s next two possessions Kincaide fumbled the ball in the first series giving it back to Idaho State and its next series would be a turnover on downs.

Idaho State did not capitalize on the fumble, punting after just three plays, but the Bengals did make quick work of Nevada’s defense on its next possession. After a relatively balanced offensive attack, the Bengals scored on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Gueller.

20-7 IDAHO STATE Nevada fumbled its next possession after Cureton got sacked hard by Micah Breland, losing the ball on its own 33. Idaho State then put together a 31-yard drive, ultimately stalling out and settling for a field goal.

23-7 IDAHO STATE

HALFTIME The third quarter began with punts from both sides as neither defense gave much ground. However, the Bengals figured out the Nevada defense on its next possession going 80 yards in just five plays for a 50-yard touchdown pass.

30-7 IDAHO STATE

At this point, Nevada was in sink or swim territory. The team needed a touchdown and produced just that. After driving 53 yards down the field, the Bengals capped off their drive with a 12yard touchdown run from Blake wright.

30-14 IDAHO STATE

On Idaho state’s next three possessions and Nevada’s next two,

neither of them could turn any of their drives into points.

Nevada’s next drive started with 13 minutes left in the fourth quarter Nevada made its way 57 yards down the field with a 10yard touchdown reception from Wyatt Demps and a two-point conversion on a pass from Kureton to Trevion Armstrong.

30-22 IDAHO STATE Nevada appeared to be on the comeback trail, not allowing the Bengals to score a point since the beginning of third quarter. Leaving just 56 seconds on the clock after a three-minute drive, Cureton connected with Demps for a final touchdown reception bringing Nevada within two. The two-point conversion was just about the only play Nevada had left to tie up the game and send it into OT. Unfortunately for the Pack’s sake and record, Nevada couldn’t

score on the two-point conversion.

30-28 IDAHO STATE Nevada’s last chance was attempting an onside kick to hope to recover the ball and march down the field for at least a field goal. The Pack couldn’t recover its onside kick ending the game 30-28 with another loss under its belt.

After the Pack’s close loss to a division two opponent, this years season doesn’t look too bright.

No. 18 Washington State is next on Nevada’s schedule and it looks like a blowout on paper.
