INTERNATIONAL
As Zika outbreak worsens in
Latin America, 3 cases are confirmed in U.K.
The Zika virus, a mosquitoborne virus that causes mild
symptoms ranging from fever
to joint pain, has officially been
found in three British citizens
after they had traveled to South
America, according to Time
Magazine.
The virus has been connected
to microcephaly, a birth defect
where the babys head is smaller
than normal, stunting brain
development. Latin America has
been struggling with Zika and
microcephaly in recent months,
with more than 4,000 cases of the
defect being reported in Brazil
alone since October of last year.
Some nations have taken steps
to stem the rate of birth defects,
asking women to wait to have
children in time frames from a
few weeks to several years. The
World Health Organization has
predicted that Zika is likely to
spread throughout North and
South America, and the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention have issued travel warnings
for pregnant women traveling to
the region.
The cases in Britain are compounded with a number of cases
in the U.S., where the disease has
been reported in both Florida and
Illinois. There is no vaccine for the
illness, which usually clears up
by itself in a week or so, though
with the current outbreak there
is a growing push by officials to
develop a vaccine.
NATIONAL
North Dakota abortion law
officially blocked by Supreme
Court
The U.S. Supreme Court refused
to hear an appeal on a lower court
ruling that struck down North
Dakotas abortion ban, officially
blocking the measure, according
to NPR. The so-called fetal heartbeat law was once considered
one of the tightest abortion bans
in the nation as it banned abortions after a heartbeat could be
detected, often six weeks into the
pregnancy.
The lower court blocked the law
because the historic Roe v. Wade
decision mandates that abortions
must be allowed until the fetus
is viable, 23 or 24 weeks into the
pregnancy. North Dakotas law often made it impossible for women
to get abortions because, prior to
six weeks into a pregnancy, it is
uncommon to be aware that one
is even pregnant. The challenge
to the law came shortly after the
legislature passed the measure
by North Dakotas only abortion
provider, the Red River Womens
Clinic in Fargo.
While the challenge to North
Dakotas law is over, the Supreme
Court will eventually hear a challenge to a Texas abortion ban that
has directly led to the closure of half
of the states abortion clinics.

Reno PD busts 10 local businesses for selling alcohol to
minors
Ten businesses around Reno,
including Pub N Sub and the Blind
Onion, were cited Monday for
selling alcohol to minors, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.
The crime, a misdemeanor,
carries a fine of $500, and was
discovered by the Regional Street
Enforcement Team through an
underage sting operation that was
funded by federal grant money.
SET used several underage volunteers to verify that 31 establishments were not violating the law.

Alumni open up path to connect
students to local business
By Marcus Lavergne
College students face some of lifes
most pressing challenges both inside
and outside of the classroom. From
engineering to pre-med and everything
in between, students at the University
of Nevada, Reno, work to develop the
skills it takes to work in a seemingly
endless list of professions.
After getting a degree, for many the
next question is how to find that dream
job, or at least a starting rung on the ladder up to it. Finding that starting point
has proven to be easier said than done.
Statistics from a 2014 aftercollege.com
SurveyMonkey questionnaire showed
that around 83 percent of graduating
seniors leave college without a job lined
up, although 72 percent said they were
actively searching.
According to that same survey, which
included a group of 1,494 participants
Pennington
opening day
set for Feb. 22
Staff Report
After a few delays, the University of
Nevada, Renos William N. Pennington
Student Achievement Center finally
has a set opening day Feb. 22, according to a university press release.
Pennington has been under construction since the fall of 2014 and will
replace the now-demolished Getchell
Library at the center of campus.
At a cost of $44.5 million, the
78,000-square-foot building is set to
house a variety of student-oriented
services, including the University
Writing Center, Math Center and Tutoring Center, among other services.
The building will also include various
spaces for students to congregate,
study or even meditate.
The facility will cater to every
student, in every imaginable way,
said UNR President Marc Johnson in
a November press release. In many
ways, it will be our most socially and
academically welcoming building. It
will foster a culture of support, and it
will help all of our students.

Dringo
George Nicholas firmly believes in the latter. Nicholas graduated from UNR last May
as a mechanical engineering major. One
day, while relaxing with his father, he had a
troubling thought.
We were in the hot tub in my house
in Stockton, Nicholas said. We were
talking about my capstone project, and I
was laughing about this team. They were
creating a treadmill for [reptiles] for some
researchers. It was just crazy, [they] have all
this potential. Im sure the researchers were
thrilled, but this wasnt gonna turn into a job
or internship for them.
Nicholas took that thought and turned
it into an online job-matching platform,
Dringo. According to Nicholas, COO and
founder and co-founder Frank Olson,
Dringo is a Reno-centric, user-friendlier database, a place where graduating students
and alumni can find projects, internships
and connect with employers more efficiently.
We had the idea, Nicholas said. Lets
make it easy for these kids to go find companies and entrepreneurs to work with. It
would be awesome if we can make this easy,
because right now the students have no idea
whats available, and theres really nowhere
you can go online and find projects or do
anything like this.
The Dringo team began conducting market research last summer, and through talking with northern Nevada organizations like
Economic Development in Reno-SparksTahoe, the Chamber of Commerce and 1
Million Cups found that the community has
a hard time figuring out what students are
doing at UNR.
What the university has in place right
now doesnt seem to be accomplishing
what the community wants, Nicholas said.
As a third party we feel that we can communicate with both sides and facilitate this.
As students, we have the best, basic view of
what the students need.
Through Dringo, students can obtain a
Father (left) and son (right), Jim and George Nicholas (CEO and COO, respectively)
discuss their job-searching database, Dringo, on Thursday, Jan. 21. Their site, dringo.org
was launched last week in its beta stage.
free membership and filter through positions, projects and internships. Businesses,
project managers, employers and others
can find student profiles and resumes easily.
The website creates an open two-way link
between the two groups.
Olson, an electrical engineer and UNR
alum, also enjoys the local centricity of
Dringo, which separates them from other
job-matching sites like LinkedIn. According
to him, positions in his field pull students
toward regions like the Bay Area and away
from the university. He says Dringo will
help keep students in Reno where theyre
needed.
[Dringo] allows companies to look into
the current students and grab their interest
before they leave, show them that there are
companies here that want and need their
help or their skills, Olson said.
Aside from keeping Reno businesses and
students together and emphasizing simplified communication, Nicholas says Dringo
will help make sure the most qualified
potential employee gets the job, rather than
the person who performs best during the
interview.
According to Nicholas, the opportunity
to work alongside students and alumni on
projects before and during the hiring process makes for a better understanding of
potential employees. Many of the projects
are connected to classes that students are
required to take, and Nicholas believes they
should be worth more than just a grade.
He says it can also lead to better decision
making on behalf of employers.
I know that a lot of times students who
arent super charismatic go into an interview
and dont just kill it, Nicholas said. They
feel kind of put out because they might be
a better employee but they cant go in and
knock the persons socks off. Now, the jobs
no longer gonna go to the best talker, its
gonna go to the person who can prove that
they can do it.
Nicholas and Olson hope Dringo will
replace job boards and their potential to
cause information overload with a more
personable and efficient system catered to
the needs of UNR students and the Reno
community. Dringos website, dringo.org,
launched last week, but remains in beta
stage.

S.Res. 83 A Resolution in
Support of Naming the ASUN
Center for Student Engagement Remodel Space Pack
Place
ASUN
President
Caden
Fabbi remarked that its been
a process to come up with a
new name and that he wanted
to conceptualize exactly what
ASUN wanted the space to be.
The new Center for Student
Engagement will serve, according to Fabbi, to give every
student on campus a place.
ASUN envisions it as a place
where any student can come
in and feel comfortable and
will give students a spot where
they can find all the resources
they need to become engaged
on campus.
The senate discussed new
features and additions to the
Center for Student Engagement, including cubicles,
sizable whiteboards and easily
accessible iPads. Fabbi illustrated these additions with a
diagram of the future Center
for
Student
Engagement,
which is set to begin construction in February. In any case,
the name Pack Place was
the ultimate winner, as it suggested the area will be open to
all students.
Only one senator opposed
the bill.
BILLS
S.B. 83 An Act to Pay for
the Technology and Furniture for the ASUN Center
for Student Engagement
Remodel
The senate approved just
over $9,000 for the furniture
and technology in the remodeled Center for Student
Engagement. The expense is a
capital expenditure, meaning
the money comes from ASUNs
capital account, itself funded
by the Nevada Wolf Shop.
That money comes in addition to more than $152,000 in
construction costs that ASUN
had approved in November of
last year.
The motion was passed
unanimously.

Maybe Schumer sought out inspiration in other comedians and stole like
an artist. It becomes apparent that
Schumers delivery appeals more to the
masses than that of those who accused
her of stealing their jokes. Because
frankly, I have never heard of Wendy
Liebman.
I am not saying it is acceptable to
just go around and steal others ideas.
But I feel like this concept isnt much
different from a segment of Fashion
Polices Bitch stole my look. What is
boils down to is we get it, Mariah Carey,
you really worked that black Roberto
Cavalli dress, we cant take that away
from you. However, Beyonce wore it
better. She might have stole the look, but
she did it better. Maybe Schumer found
a source of inspiration in the jokes of her
colleagues and ran with it.
I really hold it evident that it takes a
very different type of person, especially
female, to possess the confidence and
ability to stand up and deliver the raw,
raunchy jokes comedians such as
Schumer rely on to brand themselves.
Clearly, if women like Wendy Liebman,
Tammy Pescatelli and Amy Schumer
all have similar comedic deliveries they
are women of the same molds. Fearless
personalities who arent afraid to joke
about what most of us are thinking.
Great minds think alike right? It isnt
impossible for Schumer to have the
same thoughts on men, sex, etc. that
other comedians have.
In later news, most all of the comedians who called Schumer out as a joke
stealer either retracted their statements
or went on record apologizing for
attacking their fellow comedian.
Whether or not Schumer stole jokes
like an artist or had parallel thoughts
resembling those of her comedic peers,
her status as one of comedys finest
should not be discredited.

OPINION | A7
@TheSagebrush | nevadasagebrush.com
Dont vote
out of fear
Gender definitely also plays a role in determining favoritism. Some would argue that it is easier
to relate and bond with the child of your own sex. I
can relate to this first handedly, being not only the
oldest of three siblings but also the only girl, I can
say with confidence that I gave my dad a run for
his money.
It wasnt that I was a bad child or ever disobeyed
my parents. But the fact that I had no older
siblings for my parents to compare me to made me
the example to my younger brothers. I was also
a girly girl, so bonding with mom over manicures
and massages was never an issue, but watching
football with my dad never seemed to come
effortlessly in my childhood.
Regardless if you are the favorite or not, dont
take it to heart when it comes to Mom and Dad
showing your siblings more affection than they
show you. Just as it is inevitable for our parents
to choose a favorite, it is just as common for us
children to have a go-to parent as well. Favoritism is a recurring theme in life whether it be in
the job force, in school or in our own living rooms.
When it comes to our family, take these favoritism
molds and break them, or learn to use them as a
character builder.

the oversight and
constant monitoring that the NCAA and university
athletics have over campuses, access
to a schools brand and identity is
too limited for the student body.
Permission to spread the schools
brand should be granted to every
single student who pays tuition.
Without this student body, there is
no Wolf Pack.
Intramural athletics is a universityrun recreation activity that allows all
students a chance to play organized
sports on campus. Hundreds of
students engage in these organized
leagues, but despite the high volume
and popularity of these activities,
the use of certain university logos for
team branding is nearly impossible.
UNR has three main logos: Sports
Wolf, Block N and the Top Hat
Wolf. All of these popular images are
used by the school to brand itself to
the public.
According to UNRs Marketing
and Communications Department,
the UNR athletic logo ranks 60th of
all American universities in sports
logo attire sales. David Branby,
UNRs creative director, points to
this statistic as a lead reason why it
is important for the school to protect
their brand.
Branby looks over more than 1,000
each year.
We want to be strict about our
image, because we dont want courts
to think we dont care about our
brand, Branby said.
These are the types of troubles
that intramural athletes run into
commonly when seeking permission
for logo use. Branby is sent proposed
logos that the students want to put
on their intramural shirts or jerseys,
but alterations are made to the
original image that cause Branby to
turn down certain ideas.
Please step away from the logo,
Branby says, is a common phrase
thrown around in the marketing
department. I try not to come down
too hard on students or intramural
athletes with their proposed logos,
just as long as they leave the N in
the white box and dont change this,
he said.
Intramural sports is prohibited
from using the official Sport Wolf
logo that is owned by athletics.
Branby says the brand of the
school is valuable because of
possible legal risks.
The athletic departments brand
compliance page lays out the
purpose for strict permission.
We come from different
colleges, programs, backgrounds
and disciplines, but together we
are the University of Nevada, Reno,
it states. When any one of us goes
out into the world, we represent not
just ourselves but also the University
as a whole. This is why we maintain
marketing standards and policies.
When we work together, we succeed
together.
But, maybe we should be working
together in other ways, such as
moving toward making logos more
accessible for students to use.
UNR has almost 21,000 undergraduate students according to the
schools most recent enrollment
counts, so the need to monitor logo
the less favored kids may have ill will toward their
parents or preferred sibling, and being the favored
child brings resentment from ones siblings and
the added weight of greater parental expectations.
These feelings can cause depression, social
anxiety and a weakened self-esteem that causes
one to question self-worth.
One popular belief behind sibling favoritism
can be attributed to birth order. It is no secret that
the oldest child is treated vastly different than the
youngest.
Birth order is even known to affect personality
traits within the child. For example, a majority of
the time the oldest without a doubt suffers with
the strictest rules. They can be looked at as the
example child. How the older child performs
usually sets a sort of precedent for the younger
siblings. The oldest child usually exhibits leadership qualities, whereas the youngest child typically
can exhibit more qualities of a wild child. Parents
tend to give rules some slack. The older children
made it just fine, the youngest will do just the
same mentality comes into play. Younger siblings
tend to be catered to when it comes to attention.
As for the middle childwell who even cares
about them anyway? Am I right? The middle child
tends to be the black sheep of the family. They are
not quite a leader, but they also do not have to be
watched intently. Theyre just kind of, well, there.

majority of the game and had 6-foot-3 senior guard Tyron Criswell
guarding the 7-foot Zimmerman for a majority of the game.
TYRON CRISWELL
With his defensive job on Zimmerman, Criswell was the key to
Nevadas success in the small ball lineup. Criswell posted 11 points
and 10 rebounds on his way to his second straight double-double
despite being outsized by his opponents. Criswells defense on
Zimmerman helped force him to commit five turnovers and committed multiple travel violations, which visibly frustrated
the former McDonalds All-American. In the postgame
press conference, head coach Eric Musselman
compared Criswells defensive ability to a junkyard dog.
WOMENS BASKETBALL
Senior Nyasha Lesure dropped
29 points on Wednesday, Jan.
20, in Nevadas win against
Wyoming, giving coach Jane
Albright 499 career wins.
Lesures 29 points is the
highest output by a Wolf Pack
womens player since Tahnee
Robinson scored 35 against
Idaho in the WAC tournament
in 2011.

MENS TENNIS
The Nevada mens tennis team
dropped a pair of matches
this weekend against BYU
and Utah. BYU won the five
completed matches to win 5-1.
Utah won the three completed
singles matches in consecutive
sets.
SECOND HALF
FREE THROWS
After shooting just six
free throws in the first half,
Nevada got to the line 31 times
and converted 24 of them (77.4 percent).
Marqueze Coleman in particular was 13-18
from the line. Nevada was being aggressive
by driving to the basket and drawing fouls.
UNLV only shot 5-15 from the charity stripe
and was unable to take advantage of freshman forward Cameron Oliver playing with
four fouls.

UNCLE SPLIFFY
Former NBA All-Star forward Cliff
Robinson made a career as a member
of the Portland Trailblazers. He went
to the NBA finals in 1990 and 1992
and won Sixth Man of the Year Award
in 1993. But thats not why his stock
is up. Robinson, or Uncle Cliffy as
he is called, likes smoking marijuana.
He liked it as a player so much that
he was caught and suspended for
violating the leagues drug policy three
times. Did that deter Robinson? No
way. On the contrary, he has decided
to open up his own marijuana growing operation in Portland, Oregon.
What could possibly make this better?
The name of the operation is Uncle
Spliffy. With marijuana being legal
in Oregon, Spliffy will most likely
be extremely successful. Everyone is
expecting him to do so well, in fact,
that he is the keynote speaker at the
2016 Cannabis Collaborative Conference in February.
STOCK DOWN
DAVID BLATT
Former Cleveland Cavaliers head
coach David Blatt was fired on
Saturday, Jan. 23, despite making
the NBA finals last season and
being the No. 1 seed in the eastern
conference with a 30-11 record. To
make matters worse, his replacement is his former assistant Tyronn
Lue. Dont recognize the name?
Most wouldnt, but he is known for
being the Laker with cornrows that
Allen Iverson embarassed. In game
one of the 2001 NBA finals, Iverson
drained a long jumper in Lues face.
Lue stumbles backwards as hes
watching the shot go in and Iverson
proceeds to create one of the most
infamous moments in finals history
by stepping over Lue and completely
embarrassing him. Lue was posturized in the most embarrassing way
possible. That is Blatts replacement
and Im sure Blatt is not very happy
about that. Bad look, sir. Bad look.

UNLV IS STILL
DYSFUNCTIONAL AT THE
END OF GAMES
Because I grew up in Las Vegas, I
have friends who love to complain
about UNLVs inability to play well
at the end of games. Recently-fired
UNLV coach Dave Rices greatest
criticism was his inability to coach
in the closing minutes, and many
Rebel fans felt UNLV would improve
in crucial categories like free-throw
shooting and turnovers. Instead they
shot 14-28 from the line on Saturday
night, including three crucial misses
from Jordan Cornish, Ben Carter and
Jerome Seagers with less than three
minutes remaining. UNLV also turned
the ball over 17 times and Nevada
scored 24 of its 65 points off those
turnovers.

IN 10 MONTHS, MUSSELMAN
HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING
Its not easy to resurrect a basketball
program that wasnt exactly rich with
history to begin with, but Musselman
has done that at Nevada.
It started with recruiting a new
group of players that embodies his
grittiness and basketball intelligence,
including Cameron Oliver and
Lindsey Drew, who already start
as freshman. He then began to
establish a new culture that
demands unconditional devotion
to the idea of team basketball.
This included the departure
of ultra-talented AJ West in
December due to Wests inability
to comply with Musselmans intense,
and at times uncomfortable, energy.
Sometime between recruiting players
and establishing a new culture,
