Senate seeks student approval on possible art installationBY DUSTIN LAPRAY AND

CHARLOTTE TAYLORArbiter Staff

project manager Patrick' Sullivanfrom BSU Architectural andEngineering Services.

"We're presenting this as a proj-ect that is being sponsored by stu-dents," Sullivan said. "Without anyfunding it won't go much further."

There was no argument amongthe Senate that the campus needsmore public art, nor were thereobjections regarding the mural it-self. The senators were concernedthe general student populationhad not been properly consulted.When asked how many studentswere involved In the decisionmaking process, Sullivan listedonly nine students.

"Myconcern Is that It hasn't beenbrought to the students," Sen. KatieJo Rupert said. "I'd feel more com-fortable about spending close to$8,000 from the Senate if we knewwhat other students were think-ing."

Several senators made referenceto the arduous process that support-ers of the Veteran's Memorial wentthrough before recelvlng approvalfrom the Senate. Students weregiven the opportunity to comment

Representing the opinion ofthe student body is the job of theAssociated Students of Boise StateUniversity senators and it was onethat they performed admirably atthe Senate meeting Tuesday.

An impressive line-up of guestspeakers was assembled' in theForum to support creating a mu-ral in the Multipurpose Building.Guests also asked the Senate to pro-vide Just more than $8,000 to helpmake the project a reality.

"I'm inspired by this; It repre-sents Boise State in terms of ideas,"interim Executive Director ofthe Boise City Arts CommissionKaren Bubb said. . "Thereason you don't havemuch public art on campus isbecause there aren't a lot offunding sources."

Bubb is also a current BSU stu-dent working toward a Masters inPublic Administration.

Also on hand were ASBSUPresident Wyatt Parke and

directly and view possible designs.The memorial took nearly two yearsto be approved by the Senate.

"What I think is important is in-vest the money in a piece of art thatwill last 20 years and will brightenthe space," President Parke said.

The mural would feature studentsrowing boats on a sea with the sunsetting in the background.

The "Meet Me at the Mural"project has already been under-way for dose to a year. Whenthe Idea was originally broughtto the Senate, as pointed outby Sen. Mary Dawson, It wasrequested that more studentopinions be obtained before anydecisions were made.

"I'm hesitant to put somethingto a vote that I don't know if theywant," Sen. Jennifer Stolley said.

The mural proposal currently sitsin the Senate Budget and Financecommittee. While no final decisionswere made on Tuesday, both Bubband SuIllvan offered suggestionson how to obtain student opinions.At Sullivan's request, a poll will beavailable to students on The Arbiterwebsite starting Thursday evening.

Cleaning up boards in the SUB and .elsewhereon campus was tabled indefinitelyin the Student Affairs Committee.The bill was written by Sen.Blueand the committee questionedits legality.

Sen. Ortmann also asked theSenate to bring all final pieces oflegislation from committees.

The Senate's last day at the Forumtable in the Student Union Buildingis fast approaching (March 20). Bythe end of this week, a new Senatewill be elected.

"Clean out your office, becauseour term is almost done," SenatePro Tempore Amy Ortmann said.

For the current students sitting atthe table, there Is a rush to get thefinal legislation passed. There arealso some items needed to be re-solved.

Sen.Cyndi Blue tendered her res-Ignation early this week. It was ac-cepted. Sen. Blue gave the Senate aletter explaining why she made thatdecision.

She attended only two meetingsthis semester. She made good use ofthose meetings, pushing through aresolution asking the state legisla-ture to create hate crime legislation.Her fellow senators said she usedthe Senate to push her agenda.

AttendanceThe numbers given to The Arbiter

lastweekconcerningtheattendancerecords at this year'ssenate meet-ings were Incorrect, as we.said theymight be.

But the numbers weren't too faroff.

The senators we printed asbeing eligible for impeachment,are eligible.

Sen. Bakh Mirkasimov and Sen.Ryan Cooper are both eligible andso was Sen. Blue.

None of this really matters,because the Senate does not planto impeach anyone this late inthe term.

The trial would take too muchtime, and it has so very little left.

When Hamas took power last year there was no evidence to support it.in legislative elections, Israeli offi-cials were skeptical that Iran wouldkeep Its pledge to provide the newPalestinian leaders with extensivefinancial support. But now Israelileaders are voicing alarm aboutIranian influence in the Gaza Strip.

"They are committed to waging ajihad against Israel and the UnitedStates and this is a place where itcan be done at the lowest cost forIran," said Shmuel Bar, an Iranspecialist and the director of studiesatthe Institute ofPolicyand Strategyin Israel.

How much support Iran hasprovided to Hamas is debatedwithin the Israeli government.

"The arms come from Sinai, theycome from Sudan, and who is thepusher?" Ephraim Sneh, Israel'sdeputy defense minister, saidrecently. "I don't think there is aquestion: money from Iran. Thesource of the weapons is mainlyIran."

But he hasn't backed off from hiscriticism of the Bush administra-tion's Iraq policy, saying he wantspeople around the world to knowthat "there are many Americanswho want to relate to the rest of theworld in terms' of cooperation, notmilitary domination:'

His staffers say the StateDepartment has shown no signs ofsqueamishness about publicizing hiscriticism oCthe.war.

He's scheduled to follow upThursday in a teleconferencewith Karen Hughes, the StateDepartment's undersecretary forpublic diplomacy. The teleconfer-ence has been tasked by the WhiteHouse to promote American valuesand confront ideological support forterrorism around the world.

Muslim commentators and ad-ministration officials say that,whatever controversy, Ellison hasengendered at home, he can helpAmerica's image abroad, especiallyin the Arabworld.

"It's a very positive development,"saidVoiceofAmerica's FaizRehman,a Pakistani native and seniorpolitical producer. "He is the mostfamous freshman congressman inthe world:'

Although the Bush administrationis promoting Ellison as an exampleof American religious tolerance,part of his international cachetcomes from the controversy he'sencountered at home.

Since Ellison became a candidateforCongress last year, his religionhasbeen fodder for political opponents,including Minnesota Republicanswho tried to tie him to Nation ofisiamleader LouisFarrakhan.

Afterhe decided to take his oath onthe Quran, Virginia Republican Rep,Virgil Goode called it an illustrationof the need for immigration chang-es, even though Ellison grew up inDetroit. A national talk show hostasked him if he was working with"our enemies."

Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman forthe Washington-based Council onAmerican Islamic Helations, com-pared Ellison's overseas appeal tothat of boxing icon Muhammad Ali,who refused to serve in Vietnam.

"Muslims around the world knowthat America has a tradition of reli-gious tolerance," he said. "They'd liketo see us liveup to that tradition."

Ellison, for his part, plays upthe positive in the American ex-perience, noting' that the nation'sfounders chose not to establishan officialstate religion.

"Religious tolerance has a muchlonger pedigree in America thansome of the intolerance we've seenlately,"he toldVoiceofAmerica.

Iran providing training,to Hamas, Israel says .

Ayear-oldinternatlonalcampaignto isolate the Hamas-Ied Palestiniangovernment Unintentionally haspushed the militant Islamic groupinto a dangerous and growing alli-ance with Iran, Israel's top internal-intelligence chief said Monday.

Yuval Diskin, the director ofIsrael's Shin Bet security. agency,said closer ties between Hamas andIran were one of the "bad fruits" ofa U.S.and Israeli-led economic boy-cott of tile Palestinian government.The boycott gave Iran an opportuni-ty to give Hamas millions of dollarsin aid and military training as partof a campaign to destabilize Israeland the Middle East, Diskin said.

"Harnas headed toward the openwindow of Iran and this maybestrengthened the ties,' Diskin told asmall group of Western journalists."Allthe doors were closed, and theywent to the window."

For more than a year, Israel andthe United States have refused toprovide aid to the Palestinian gov-ernment because of Harnas' refusalto renounce its long-standing pledgeto destroy Israel. European coun-tries have joined the boycott., The economic blockade has hob-bled the Palestinian government,as intended. But it also created anopening for Iran to increase its in-fluence by stepping in to shore upHamas, Diskin said.

Iran has pledged to provideHamas with $150 million in aid. Inaddition, Diskin said, tens ofHamasmilitants have been sent to Iran foradvanced military tralning, . andHarnas would like to send hundredsmore to learn to build and operateadvanced weaponry.

"I see it as the strategic danger:'Diskin said of the training.

Diskin's remarks in a rare on-the-record briefing reflected thegrowing anxiety of leadersthroughout the Middle East and

House rejects educationstandards for young kids

Bouse lawmakers voted 43-27against a nonbinding resolntion toask agencies to establish educationstandards for young children, thesecond setback in as many weeksfor advocates of boosting stateinvolvement in how Idaho cares foritsyoungsters,

The measure defeated this weeksaid "allchildren deserve the right tobe cared for in a safe and enrichingenvironment" and sought to createstandards to help parents differenti-ate between providers of preschoolchild care. The resolution wouldhave'asked the Department of! lealthand Welfareto rank the quality ofdaycares and channel federal money tocenters based on those rankings.

But some lawmakers comparedthe resolution to a communist plotthat infringes on parents' rights.

"In old Russia, the stale ownedchildren for all intents and pur-poses," said Hell. Lenore Barrett,H-Challis. "This is not the properrole ofgovernment."

Proponents, meanwhile, arguedunsuccessfully that establishing ed-ucational standards for young kidswas a pragmatic approach that takesinto account reality: Many familiesinclude two parents who work andmust send their kids to daycare. As aresult, the state should set standardsforthose operations, they said.

In an age where identify theft isAmerica's fastest growing crime,the protection of your computer'sinformation is a primary concern.

Internet users are a source ofcrime when they take advantage ofunsecured computers.

One or two hours worth of ef-fort can help greatly improve yourcomputer's security against inter-net threats. .

Fortunately, it can be done with-out spending a penny.

Compiled below is a list of thefour greatest free programs that canhelp keep your computer safe. .

This list has four main criteria.First, they had to be free. The

programs had to be free with-out requiring premium upgrades.Although there were upgradeversions available, the freeversions had to be useful.Second, the programscould not come with anycatches. That means they'would not come with unwantedprograms or' adware as part ofthe installation.

Third, the programs worked andwere well liked.

Countless users have en-dorsed these programs with theirrecommendations.

Last, they had to be reasonablyeasy to use. There's no point to aprogram that cannot be operated.

It is important to note thatthis list focuses entirely onInternet security.

Perhaps you already have pro-grams that serve this purpose.But, you may also want to take ad-ditional measures such as periodi-cally backing up your computer orsetting a password upon loggingin. With that said, you can findall of the following programsby searching their name at your fa-verite search engine.

Theway we seek •..Local group does morefor a community collegethan Idaho legislatures

What do you do when your localgovernment ignores your concernsand refuses to acknowledge theneed for a community college?

Well, if you're as motivated asCommunity College YES mem-bers, you collect nearly 3,000 sig-natures to force the issue. Thelocal . group delivered almostthree times the amount of neededsignatures to the Canyon CountyCourthouse last Wednesday to spura ballot measure regarding theformation of a community collegedistrict in southwest Idaho.

This clearly shows the residentsof Idaho recognize whatlocal law-makers don't - a desperate need fora community college.

For Boise State Universityto ever truly reach PresidentKustra's vision as a"major metropolitan researchuniversity of distinction," a localcommunity college must be formedsooner, not later. The uni-versity already has thespace available with BSU West, thename (College of Western Idaho)and, as this petition shows, thecommunity support.

With local government officialsunable to even get their acts togetherlongenough tolowertherequiredvoteneeded (66 percent) to 60 percent,somebody had to step up and spear-head a renewed effort.

This local group of residents didjust that. Because of the ef-forts of Community CollegeYES, students not ready or want-ing to go on to a four-yearinstitution may have some educa-tional opportunities for them locallysomeday soon.

HighschoclstudentswithlowGPAsmay have a chance to attend schooland get the kind of indi-vidual attention a four-year college won't be able toprovide them. Students who did notor could not finish high school mayhave another convenient place to gofor GED courses. And the chancefor new jobs to be created in theTreasure Valley because of a com-munity college is still alive.

A community college may stillbe a long way off, but at least ithas a fighting chance once againbecause of the efforts of CommunityCollege YES.

Senator McGee presents a money is-sue in the guise of a moral Issue when hespeaks of "illegal aliens," in effect, steal-ing benefits from the state ofldaho.

Since when has It been fashionable todiscuss needed medical assistance froma purely monetary point ofview?

This guy has no moral leg to stand on,he would pit the poor taxpayers of south-ern Idaho against poor Mexican immi-grants, this is an outrage.

Senator McGee then cites a "Centerfor Immigration" report, that states,"California, which shares the problem ona much larger scale ..."

The CISis a group identified as nativistby pro immigration groups, this grouphas consistently vilified immigrants ofMexican ancestry since it's inceptionsome 20 years ago.

This is .not the first time people fromMexico have been subject to attack inthis country.

No other immigrant group in the past150 years has endured the same level ofdiscrimination in this country.

To be sure all non-white immigrantsin this state, Mexicans included, are ac-corded inferior status, this facilitatestheir use as menial throwaway type la-bor.

To be sure there are Idaho bosses thattake good care of "their" Mexican work-ers even escorting them to the airport asthey depart for home wishing them welland please do come back when we needyou next year.

Opinion Writer

Senator John McGee of Caldwellshould know better, with his con-nection to the Idaho HlspantcCommission versus his stand on

medical benefits for the undocumented.His assumption that these "non tax-

paying" undocumented workers (readHispanic), should not be allowed to takeadvantage of "routine health care servic-es" paid for by "our" taxpayers flies in theface ofhuman rights and simple logic. Sowhose side is this guy on?

Can Senator McGee prove that a work-er who pays rent to a taxpaying landlordand whose boss also pays taxes is not heor herself a de facto taxpayer?

Is Senator McGee simply blind to these_ realities? Or does he have another axe to

grind?Call it guilt by association or call it

Idaho provincialism.By any yardstick Senator McGee of

Caldwell exhibits all the qualities ofa na-tivist.

Nativism is a philosophy that assumesthe natural rights and goodness of thedominant social group in a given countryversus the "undesirability" ofnewcomersand in this case something worse if theycome from Mexico.

This is a thinly disguised racist attackagainst Mexican immigrants whose onlycrime is their poverty.

Senator John McGee assumes that undocumented work-ers should not be able to take advantage of routine healthcare benefits.

" As soon as we slap a label on something we giveourselves permission to shut down and disengagefrom the debate. 'Oh she's just a fire-breathingfeminist Liberal. I don't have to listen to her.'or 'He's just a hate-mongering Hitler youthConservative. I don't have to listen to him.'

"ange, of heightened security, of build-ing walls on our boarders and of profil-ing for terrorists; everyone is suspect,no one is safe and no one is innocent.

Because it's gotten to this point Ifeelit's time for each of us to really educateourselves about our leaders, our gov-ernment, our allies, our enemies andeach other.

I regret that it's only been in the lastyear or so that I've been on a quest toseek these answers out for myself and Ifind that I'm not alone.

When you stop and ask yourself a fewsimple questions, it starts to becomeclear just how much you don't know orare misinformed about.

Now, more than ever, it's been af-firmed to me that we need to reject thepropaganda machine that tells us what

to think, how to act and how to vote.Weneed to break pastthe stereotypes

and misinformation that keeps us feel-ing so separate and isolated from otherpeople who inhabit our country.

Even more importantly, weneed to look past our fear. Tosubmit to our fear is to submitto control. Real freedom and progresscan only be wonthrough our contin-ued education and commitment toeach other.

I often wonder If people truly wantprogress and positive change, or if theyjust want to cement their- superiorityover the other party.

This is something I see on all sides ofthe arguments we see played out in themedia and in this very newspaper.

When I first came up with the concept

of my podcast show "On the Flipside"my mission was to present both sidesof an issue in an effort to find under-standing.I found this hard to do because par-

ties from both sides of the issue didn'treally want to talk about it in such anopen forum.

I don't understand that.Is it because it's harder to insult

sorneone's character when they are sit-ting right across from you and every-one can hear it?

Character attacks are now so com-mon I can almost predict the kinds ofcomments on the articles I write thatare published on The Arbiter websiteand the names they will call me.

As soon as we slap a label on some-thing we give ourselves permissionto shut down and disengage from thedebate. "Oh she's just a fire-breathingfeminist Liberal. I don't have to listento her." or "He's just a hate-mongeringHitler youth Conservative. I don't haveto listen to him."

For the record, I'm listening and Igive a damn. So if anyone wants to en-:gage in this "intellectual dialog" signme up, I'd be happy to participate.

Fearless-or somewhat close

Eva Mendes was recentlyawarded the Fun FearlessFemale of the Year award by"Cosmopolitan" magazine.

Before one of my roommatespurchased the magazine and putit on our coffee table, I'd nevereven heard of such an award (I'ma "Vogue" girl). But one day, whilecurled up on the couch cursingmy lack of cable television, I hap-pened to glance down and catch aglimpse ofthe cover.

What a cool award. It's almostlike winning "bad ass of the-year,"

Maybe that's because I valuefearlessness so much.

Growing up, I was a very shy,socially-challenged child. I had(and still have) a very quiet voice,and back then I was quite tim-id and devoid of any outgoingcharacteristics.

I grew out of my fearlessstage slowly, and I also began torecognize the fears that otherpeople have.

I had a friend in high school whowas deathly afraid of spiders, as so,many people are.

It was odd, though. He was a big,tall guy - the kind that you wouldpicture as a super-spider-squash-er.

One day he journeyed into thebathroom and screamed like a lit-tle girl.

When he came back to theliving room and I went to investi-gate, I found the smallest spiderI've ever seen hiding in the far'corner of the bathroom.r,o"AfJerthrowing him a "seriously?This is it?" look and picking thespider up with a piece of toilet pa-per, I realized that perhaps no oneis truly fearless.

The realm of fashion containsthe fears of many.

I've come to adore innova-tive and off-the-wall ensembles,and have often heard the phrase"well, you could pull it off. I know Icouldn't" all too many times whenshopping with friends.

Labels, cuts, colors, fabrics- there is a whole host of thingsin the area of attire that peoplefear.

I still remember my first day atBoise State.

My initial thought wasn't "wow,how am I going to trek across cam-pus in five minutes?" "Where is theMath/Geosciences Building?"Or"Why did I even bother to buy thisgeneral parking permit?" Uponfirst glance at the campus andpeople on it, the thought that wentthrough my head was, "Is theresome kind of tennis shoe/sweat-shirt dress code that no one both-ered to tell me about?"

That thought hasn't changed.And I've noticed that it appliesnot only at BSU, but just abouteverywhere in this fine city.

So many people are afraid toventure outside the typical-appar-el box and try something new.

Tuesday I decided to make use ofmy leg warmers from ballet classthree years ago and, yes, I did standin front of the mirror and contern-

'plate whether or not I'd get weirdlooks while walking to class, butultimately I decided "who cares?I thought they were fun, .and so Igave them a shot.

It's not a big fear to conquer,but starting with something likewhat you step outside your frontdoor In may be the first of manysteps to conquering bigger fears.I still don't believe that it's possibleto be completely fearless - but I dothink that it's possible to get close.

What fun Is the world withouttaking risks?

The album's opener, "Bound to Be That Way," lulls the lis-tener hi with miniscule saxoplione and clarinet drawls; faintplano tones and guitar notes that sound like massiv~ ,harpsbefore DMST crash Into the band's central focus - the guitar,bass and drums.

This straight-ahead ballad is at a COlU-plete contrast ro the songs that bookend it, particularlythe album's single, "The Universe!" a rowdy rocker thatnever slows down or finds dynamic middle ground. Theguitars are distortion and reverb heavy and in the end justplain loud. The drums pound on, and the horn blasts in thelast chorus are reminiscent of more than one or two BrokenSocial Scene refrains.

The entire album continues in this up-and-down post-rock(0 nee-folk contrast without everlosing the listener's attention- it's certainly manic, but what isn't these days?

From food to fashion, drumsto folktales, the African Nightwas an excellent display ofAfrican culture.

Upon first entering this event Ifelt an incredibly warm and accept-ing atmosphere, "Have you triedthe food?" "Try our food will you?Its absolutely perfect." "I hope youwill enjoy the show."

The speaker handling the an-nouncements was aptly waiting foreveryone to be seated and to have aplate of African cuisine in front of

in The Jordan Ballroom at BoiseState's Student Union Building.

From Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabweor perhaps from Mali, all of theseanswers and more where respons-es to the most commonly askedquestion of the night, far moreintriguing than my response ofbeing a native from Idaho.

People from more than fiftytribes were present at this cultural

. event, all gracefully and elegantlyrepresenting their culture's heri-tage, background and ways of life.The drum performers alone con-sisted of musicians from more thansix tribes, the drums made from an-

them and the food was very enjoy-able.

The entertainment itself con-sisted of several arranged and cho-reographed performances of drum-ming, cultural dance, a depiction ofa warrior's fight to prove himselfas-a man, and a folktale by VincentMuli Kituku.

An event such as this allows peo-ple from all over Africa to not onlydisplay their love for their culture,but to further enrich their under-standing and perception of theircivilization and ways oflife.

·Very Enriching!" Ph.D. VincentMuli Kituku said. "Boise State has

been amazing and very supportive'for events such as this."

The Black Student Alliance hasbeen holding this event as well asother events, since 1999. An occa-sion such as this not only displaysAfrican heritage, but further dis-plays and enriches Boise's cultureas a whole.i will again put further

emphasis and applause to thewonderful display of African cul-ture, and will recommend thisevent, as well as the other eventshosted by The Black StudentAlliance to any who wish toparticipate in cultural discoveries.

'F' is for fear and failureBY CARRIE FANNIN

Arbiter Staff

This week we will talk about fearand failure. I have been working myplan to manage mystress, mosttimes,I have had a good support system. DoI fear that I might fail? Hell yes! Sowhat happens if I do all of the thingsthat I tell you I am going to do, eatright, exercise, practice self care, falloff the wagon, get back on and thenfail? Will I have humiliated myself infront of all of my fellow students bydisclosing my weight and measure-ments and then will I fear facing mypeers? Hell yes, or hell no?

Hell no! Why not? This whole in-tervention is to show the strugglesof a real person. Real people fail.Real people try again and again andagain. Real people keep trying untilthey succeed. And when we fail, our"friends" support us and we keep go-ing. Will I give up? No. I may rethinkmy plan, seek out some professional

support or try harder. I found sometips to share with you about goodand bad health behaviors. And don'tforget diets fail. Modification of life-style is the key, do something you canlive with. Obesity is a major cause ofhealth problems in ournation. It is upto us to help ourselves to a better life.Diabetes and heart disease are notrecreational activities and please dowhat you can to take care of yourself.So bring your butt to the REC CenterTuesday and Thursday mornings, at9:00 a.m, and we can walk, run orstumble around the track, trudge onthe stair climbers or treadmills andwe can watch our butts get smaller.

And don't forget, "Experiencecome from your failures, not yoursuccesses." If you always did every-thing right, you would never learnanything! Next week we will addressthe Fight for Fitness and take a lookat our smaller counterparts in "Let'sbe 'Fair'." Check for updates at www.myspace.com/cifannin,

For coaches of any sport there isn't much bet-ter validation for the job they are doing than beingawarded Coach of the Year by their peers. Boise Statewomen's basketball coach, Gordy Presnell, receivedhis validation last weekend. Presnell claimed botha share of the Western Athletic Conference title andthe WAC Coach of the Year award in the process.

"1think it's obviously affirmation from your peersthat you've done OK - you've done a good job,"Presnell said. "But it's a team award. Coaches don'tmake a basket. Players try to buy into a system andthey make the baskets. Without question it's a teamaward and I'm just fortunate to be the one that's sit-tinghere."

The award comes in the wake of one of the bestseasons in the history of BSU women's basketball.The Broncos finished the year 21-8, 12-4 in WACplay and tied with Louisiana Tech for first place inthe final conference standings. The women neversat below a tie for first place all Season long and heldsale possession of the top spot for most of the sea-son.

"1think you can accomplish a lot if you're unself-ish and you don't mind the other person gettingcredit," Presnell said. "I think our girls have donethat this year. They have played really unselfishly.They have stayed in their limitations. We haven'thad too many people trying to do too much stuff.They've been very respectful of each other's person-alities. They're a real tight-knit group. Chemistrygoes a long way."

Presnell is finishing his second season in chargeof the women's program. He came to Boise fromSeattle Pacific University, where he had coached for18 successful seasons. While at SPU Presnell tallieda 396-127 record and earned 13 Coach of the YearAwards. Eight of those honors were for ConferenceCoach of the Year.

"We had pressure there [Seattle Pacific] wherethere was a constant 'you're supposed to do this,"Presnell said. "Our kids are finally getting to thepoint where now people are going 'you're supposedto win this: It's a new pressure for our kids. Thatpart's been fun."

Within two seasons at BSU Presnell has accumu-lated a 36-23 record and a .638 winning percentage.During his tenure at SPU Presnell enjoyed a win-ning percentage of .757 and an average of 22 winsper season. The Falcons won six conference cham-pionships under Presnell and made Division II post-season tournament appearances 13 times.

This season Presnell received a big load of supportfrom All-WAC performers Iessica Thompson andMichelle Hessing. The duo became the first playersto be named to the WAC first or second teams sincethe school joined the conference in 2001.

Thompson was named to the All-WAC First Teamafter averaging 13.8 points per game including 19games with double-digit scoring efforts. Hessingwas named to the All-WAC Second Team for her 11.6points, 5.1 rebounds per game production this sea-son.

Despite the consistent play of both players allseason the Broncos were in danger of failing to win

. the first WAC regular season championship underPresnell after dropping three games on the road in

.a two-week span. The women managed to hold offFresno State and Hawaii at home, however, secur-ing the program's first WAC championship.

"I think the one thing we did was we didn't havea pity party and we didn't feel sorry for ourselves,"Presnell said. "We could have moped around. I don'tthink anyone really said much about it. We just kepttrying to win the next game. We hit a low and strug-gled but when the kids came back we were ready togo. They were accepted in open arms, won the lasttwo games and got to cut down the nets."

BSU faces Fresno Statein grudge match

BY JAKE GARCINSports Editor

,.',r

Boise State University's ath-letic battle with Fresno State hasbecome one of the mostprominent rivalries in theWestern Athletic Conference.

The fight for bragging rightsmight get a Iittfe more - heatedafter the men's basketball teamsfrom BSU and FSU meet in LasCruces, N.M. Thursday for theopening round of the 2007WAC tournament.

The two' teains split duringthe regular season and faced offmost recently last Thursday,March 1, in Fresno, Calif.

The Bulldogs prevailed inthat meeting 78-77, whichpropelled them into posi-tion for the No. 3 seed in thefinal WAC standings.

The loss dropped BSU out ofcontention for the No.3 seed andafter a loss at Hawaii the Broncosfound themselves entering thetournament as the No.6 seed.

Ironically, the two final lossesof the season brought BSU backaround to Fresno for a third andfinal match-up this season.

"I don't think it matters who weplay and I don't think it matterswho they play," BSU Head CoachGreg Graham said about playingFresno again so soon. "You justwant to make sure you're playingwell. They've been playing welland we've been playing welt It'sa quick turn around, but it's thesame for both of us, so I don't thinkit's an advantage or a disadvantagefor either team."

The Broncos hosted Fresno backon Jan. 25 in the first match-up be-tween the two teams this season.BSU won the game 65-61 behind a2I-point effort from senior guardCobyKarl.

it should be another close game,"Graham said. "We both like to getup and down and push the basket-ball. I think the keys will be - asin most tournament games - freethrows and turnovers."

The Broncos are just 3-11this season on the road, despitefinishing with a 13-2 record inTaco Bell Arena.

If history dictates anything, theBroncos will have to start hot andput points on the board to be sue-cessfulin the tournament.

BSU is 14-4 this season whenleading at halftime and is just 2-8 when trailing at the break. TheBroncos are also 8-3 when theyscore over 80 points.

They are 3-5 when scoringless than 70 points. The Broncosfailed to hit 80 points in either oftheir two games against Fresnothis season. •

We feel good about where we areand what we're doing," Grahamsaid. "Our guys are ready to showthat they can win some games."

Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m.Thursday. The winner of theBSU and FSU game will face thewinner of No. 7 Louisiana Techand No. 2 New Mexico State at8:30 p.m, Friday.

B'SU men's basketball earns fiveWAC awardsBY TATE CASTLETON

(l4.B points per game) he has playeda pivotal role as a leader on andoff the court.

"All my numbers are down fromlast year, but 1think I've been betterbecause of the people around me,"Karl said. "The guys are great andwe work hard to do the best we can."

Four other Broncos were givenWAC honors as well this week.

Senior guard Eric Lane earned aspot on the WAC all-defensive team.Lane averaged nearly 10 points and2.2 rebounds per game this seasonand was often given the most diffi-cult assignments on defense.

"It's definitely an honor to berecognized in any category in theWAC," Lane said. "To be recognizedas a good defender is special becauseit's something I've definitely takenpride in while I've been here."

Lane is the first Bronco to beplaced on the all-defensive teamsince Boise State's Jason Elliswas honored in both the 2004 and2005 seasons.

Freshman guard Anthony Thomaswas named WAC Freshman of theYear after averaging five points and1.6 rebounds per game this season.Thomas previously madeheadlineswhen he was named WAC Player ofthe Week in February for his perfor-

mance against University of Albanyin the Broncos Bracket Buster game.

Thomas is the first BSU freshmanto win Freshman of the Year honorsin over a decade.

Gerry Washington claimed thehonor in the Big Sky Conference in1996. ..

"I just tried to go out and playmybest every night," Anthony said. "it'sa great feeling to be recognized bythe WAC and it's a nice thing to buildon for next season."

Junior forwards Matt Nelson andReggie Larry were both named tothe WAC all-newcomer team.

Nelson led the Broncos in re-bounding (9.1 per game) and to-gether with Reggie Larry to form adynamic tandem inside. Both play-ers averaged nearly 14 points pergame this season as well.

"It always feels good when youare given credit for playing yourhardest," Nelson said. "With theseawards we know we're a good teamand that we can compete with any-one in the WAC when we play ourbest basketball."

Being an impact player was im-portant to Matt Nelson. He led theteam in field goal percentage thisseason making 58.7 percent of hisshots. Reggie Larry excelled in'

Boise State men's basketball se-nior guard Coby Karl came to BSU asa walk-on four years ago. Thursdaynight Karl will lead his team intothe Western Athletic Conference'tournament having been namedto this season's first-team All-WACsquad in his final year.

"It's a great honor to berecognized," Karl said."I think this recognition is more anindication of what kind of team weare as a whole and shows how farwe've come 'as a group."

The first-team honor is Karl's firstand is remarkably only the secondsuch honor bestowed upon a Broncosince joining the WAC. For Karl,though, it's more than just an award.It's an indication of just how far he'scome individually.

"I came in as a bright-eyed 19-yearold and will leave a better person,"Karl said. "I've changed a lot men-tally and physically and I've learnedso much along the way."

Karl was named second-teamAlI.WAC as a junior when he aver-aged just over 18 points per gamein 2005. Although Karl's numbershave slightly declined this season
