BSU Construction Management students receive national recognition

Texting could land drivers in big house

Mike JohnsonJournalist

Boise State’s Construction Management Association (CMA) student group has been selected by the Associat-ed General Contractors (ACG) of America as the top colle-giate construction group in the nation. They received the Outstanding Student Chapter Award for the second year in a row. The club was recognized largely for its role in the move-ment and refurbishment of a historic Abraham Lincoln monument called “Lincoln the Emancipator,” which the students successfully relocat-ed from the Idaho State Veter-ans Home to the State Capitol Building.

Groups from Kansas State University and California State University, Chico, were awarded second and third place respectfully, in the na-tional competition.

AGC president J. Doug Pruitt said, “The mix of con-struction skills, management expertise and project savvy these groups possess is on par with some of the nation’s top construction firms.”

The CMA is a club on cam-pus for students who are in-terested in the construction and development industry. Participants are given the op-portunity to compete, network with industry leaders and gain useful career experience.

“The CMA is a way to pro-mote our career of choice as well as give back to the com-munity,” BSU junior Jaron Oli-ver said. “We are very proud that our chapter has been rec-ognized for the second year in a row and as the best in the nation.”

Students are now looking forward to the annual Reno Competition, where teams will travel to Nevada next spring to compete in various areas of the construction pro-fession.

CMA member Kevin Higgs said, “(Competitions are) a great way for us to learn what it is like to run a project in just a short amount of time and give us the opportunity to start our own networking.”

Students interested in be-coming involved with the CMA are encouraged to at-tend meetings and to visit its website for more information.

Texting is a great way to keep in contact with friends and relay a quick message, but now it may land people a stiff fine, a sus-pended license or worse. A bipartisan group of Idaho lawmakers have banded together to implement legislation slated for 2010 to make texting while driving illegal.

This legislation is one of two bills spon-sored by Boise Senator Les Bock aimed to-ward protecting lives through more respon-sible driving.

This is Bock’s second attempt at passing

a similar bill; the first attempt didn’t make it past the legislative body during the 2009 session.

In a press release from the Idaho Demo-cratic Legislative caucus, Bock commented on the first effort in stating, “This issue was a bit under the radar when we brought it up last winter,” Bock added, “clearly, the time has come to enact legislation that will help drivers realize that it’s neither safe nor smart to text while driving.”

A prominent research analysis attributed to the rise in public awareness of this legislation came from a Virginia Tech University study on cell phone use and driving distraction.

The July 2009 study placed a clear corre-lation with cell phone distractions, like tex-ting, with a higher risk of car crashes or near crash events.

Most notably, the study found heavy vehi-cle and truck drivers were 23.2 times more vulnerable than non-distracted drivers to the risk of a crash or near crash event.

Based on these findings, the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute suggested, “texting should be banned in moving vehicles for all drivers… this cell phone task has the poten-tial to create a true crash epidemic.”

Similar legislation to the one proposed in Idaho has been enacted in 24 states aimed at reducing traffic fatalities caused by inat-tentive driving while texting.

According to Trooper Shoeman of the Utah highway patrol, dialing more than a 10 digit phone number while operating a mov-ing vehicle in the state of Utah is considered a class C misdemeanor and may have the driver paying a $70 ticket.

If the driver was involved in an accident while texting is a class B misdemeanor which could involve greater fines, jail time, or license suspension.

If the driver kills another driver or pedes-trian while texting the punishment will be far more severe.

The first bill proposed by Bock had very similar penalties involved. The earlier bill brought to the legislature during its first regular session of 2009, states that a viola-tion of this law “shall be an infraction pun-ishable by a fine of $75.”

STUDENT VOICESWhat do you think about making a law against texting while driving?

Levin Welch Senior, Social Science

“Yeah its dangerous i guess. If they are going to give you a ticket for seatbelts they should give you a tcket for be-ing on your cell phone.”

Kasey Parks Freshman, Nursing

“I do it, but i think its bad. Its pretty dangerous. I would probably do it less if it were a law against it.”

Lindsay Peterson Freshman, English

“A law against it will probably make you do it less. I would still do it though.”

Randy Knutson Sophomore, Undecided

“Im for a law against texting while driving because i have a 16 year old daughter to worry about.”

It was 10 a.m. on a beautiful, sunny Tuesday September morning. I was in eighth grade, sitting in class at my school P.S. 83 in the Bronx, N.Y. We were sup-posed to be starting Spanish class, but the teachers were all talking. Students’ names were being called; people were being pulled out of class.

Finally, Ms. Miranda, my Spanish teacher came into the class and said, “!e World Trade Center is no longer there, we are under attack; this is a terrorist attack.” We were all shocked, not sure about what we should do. Suddenly an-other girl in my class, Lindsay, started crying. Her mom worked in the Twin Tow-ers. Was she at work yet? Was she OK? More names were being called, “…please come to the o"ce with coat and books.”

From the girls’ bathroom, you could see the smoking towers in the distance. We were all scared. What was going on? Were we going to be OK? !e next day all New York City public schools were closed, something that virtually never hap-pens. !e city was distressed and grieving. !rough it all we tried to unite and help one another stay strong. It was a terrible day, and the feelings that I experi-enced and those around me experienced stay with me every Sept. 11. My parents

lost friends in the towers; it seems everyone I knew lost someone on that horri#c day.

I am writing this to simply respond to !e Arbiter article from Sept. 21 titled “Will Senate Work for Chocolate?” It was with my emotions from Sept. 11 in mind that I wrote Senate Memorial number 2: “Remembering September 11, 2001.”

It was for no purpose, other than to remember all those men and women who tragically lost their lives that day. It is a date that will forever stand out in world history as one of America’s darkest days, and is a day to stand in remembrance and re$ect on our freedom. Amid tragedy, the nation shined as #re#ghters, po-lice, EMTs, medical personnel and civilians as a whole came together to protect and take care of those injured and grieving. People from across the country sent their love and support to help all those who were su%ering. May we never forget what occurred on that day, and recognize that this truly is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Cara Mia De Marco is a senator for the College of Education.

Letter to the editor

MATTHEW DELEON!GUERREREOJournalist

Boise State Students litter the landscape of local com-merce throughout the city of Boise. Student employees perform the frequent and sometimes strenuous tasks pertinent to the comfort of our daily lives. Many baris-tas, fast food workers, serv-ers, and cashiers, are our companions toward the search for achievement in higher education. !ey are taking the extra step to break out of the typical school schedule and join the work-force, but why and how does working e%ect school? One may wonder why a student would want to add to their academic workload with a work schedule.

Spencer John, a junior studying entrepreneurial business and employee with the Student A%airs o"ce at BSU, attributes the desire to work to two factors, “Of course money, but also the experience. It seems that employers are looking for greater experience.”

While the experience gained is a bene#t that shouldn’t be underrated, the #nancial aspect cannot be ignored. Jordan Parmer, a freshmen in the Nursing department and currently employed at both Blue Cow frozen yogurt and as a server at a nearby nursing home, enjoys working, but if given the opportunity to simply attend school she would, “I would rather focus on School, but I need the money,” said Parmer.

An article by US news, reported that according to Colo-

rado state Public Interest Research Group’s higher edu-cation project, 42 percent of college students working 25 or more hours reported that working had a negative impact to their grades.

Angela Bond, a recent BSU graduate who coached high school volleyball and was a server at Joe’s Crab shack,

re$ected on her days of working and attending class by saying, “It would have been easier to not have worked, if I had the option I wouldn’t have worked.”

With the general understanding of motive and e%ect another possible bene#t returning students might gain from employment is the professional advantages of con-

tinuing their prior career. Students like Steve McDermott, a returning junior and an entrepreneurial management major, returned to school after a two-decade hiatus. He currently works on call as a consultant and credits this work toward helping him “Keep abreast with the indus-try and keeping my contacts active.”

In making the decision to work or focus completely on school one must consider the #nancial situation and try to work at a place $exible with a changing school schedule. John suggests that work is appropriate for those who, “need to make money” and sug-gests, “Try and work on campus, It’s a great way to work around [your] schedule.”

SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 Boise Philharmonic to open year with “The Planets”

MARGARET REIMER Journalist

!e Boise Philharmonic is having its "rst performance of the year Sept. 26 at !e Morrison Center. !e philhar-monic will be joined by internationally-renowned cel-list Zuill Bailley.

Also included are Boise Orchestra members, BSU chorus members and !e Boise Master Chorale. Boise Philharmonic conductor, Robert Franz, chose Holst’s symphony “!e Planets” because he describes it as “a grand piece.”

“In the size of the orchestra, the number of move-ments and in the scope of the subject matter the entire work is on a really large scale,” Franz said. “It is a piece that requires extra performers and with our new part-nership with the BSU School of Music it was the perfect way to kick o# our season.”

Franz also chose Elgar’s Cello Concerto for the open-ing performance for special guest musician, Bailley. Franz explained the way he went about choosing the two complimentary pieces for the opening perfor-mance.

“I also knew that I wanted the cellist, Zuill Bailey to

open our season,” Franz said.” “Zuill has a very poetic nature in the way that he makes music. In my mind, the Elgar Cello Concerto requires a real sense of poetry to pull o#.”

Franz said it was “immediately obvious” Zuill should play the Elgar.

“!e fact that Elgar and Holst were both Englishmen and knew each other sealed the deal,” said Franz.

Franz said he needed a work to open the program that would announce this program and the opening of their season. Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture was com-missioned by a university and because of that, Brahms included all sorts of student songs, according to Franz.

“Some were serious and some were downright bawdy. Combining these amused the students in the "rst per-formance (although not the professors),”Franz said.

According to Franz, that tied in with their new part-nership with BSU.

“Finally, the work ends in a grand, hymn-like tune that is very stirring much like the movement of the Planets called Jupiter. !e musical tie in was complete and the program was "nalized,” Franz said.

!e opening performance is Saturday 8 - 10:30 p.m. Student tickets are $10.

Q: What is your !lm about?A: Well, it’s really a music video with an in-

terwoven side story. !e side story is vaguely inspired by the 1903 "lm “!e Great Train Robbery.” !e “bad guys” are planning a rob-bery but it obviously goes awry.

Q: What was your favorite event in the movie?

A: I think my favorite part of making the movie was our general “quick & dirty” ap-proach. Virtually all of it was 1-take stu#, de-liberately trying to avoid perfection.

Q: Why should students watch your movie?

A: I think it’s a great example of what can be done with virtually no budget. Plus I think it negates a lot of pre-conceptions of super-8 "lm. It turned out almost exactly the way I wanted it and it really didn’t cost much, all things considered.

Q: What was your hometown like?A: My home town? I’m from Boise. My fa-

ther was from Cleveland, which is a sprawl-ing city. It’s a bit dilapidated in areas but the people are generally really nice and they have pride in their home town regardless of condi-tion, which I think is cool.

Q: Did you attend college? Graduate? When? Major? What was their college expe-rience like?

A: I went to BSU for 2 years as a psych major

from fall 1998 to spring 2000. Unfortunately, I got really burned out working at SMITC’s knowledge network early in the morning, attending school, then going to work again at my other job till midnight. In short, no, I didn’t graduate. One of these days, I’d like to resume my courses because aside from dry math teachers, I really enjoyed attending BSU. But then, I’m a compulsive learner.

Q: What is the connection of your !lm to the obscure Bubble Puppy hit of the same name? Is it simply a namesake?

A: Well it actually IS the Bubble Puppy song. !e band gave us permission to do this re-make with an accompanied video. !e black & white story is really completely unrelated other than the mention of sassafras at the be-ginning. Sassafras was the key $avor for root beer before it was found to be toxic. At least two members of the original band publicly gave praise to the rough cut I sent them, so it was a really satisfying project.

Q: "e abstract on Idaho Film Festival’s website says your !lm has something to do with cloning...?

A: Really? !at’s news to me. Perhaps there were moments in that production where I wished I could clone myself. Record-ing/mixing audio, lighting, setting stages & shooting "lm is a lot for one person to tackle. I will state that I had ample help for the Stage

II shots though. We decided very early in pre-production that since he (Joe Baldas-sarre) was the only person recorded on the multi-track audio tape, he should be the only person to appear on "lm. We originally talked about using fake shemps for certain shots involving mul-tiple characters, but ulti-mately decided to use more slight-of-hand techniques to allow only one person to be on camera.

Ryan Gillentine is the director of Crack and instructing the !lmmakers 411 workshop Saturday at 11:15 a.m. at the HiJinx Comedy Club.

Q: What is your !lm about?A: A little boy who steps on a crack and

breaks his mother’s back.Q: What was your favorite event in the

movie? (Either a scene or a speci!c part directing it?)

A: !e ending moment when the older brother repeats the younger brother’s mis-take


A: It’s a good example of the get in/get out

philosophy absent in many short "lms.Q:What was your home town like?A: I am originally from Dallas, TX but now

live in Victor, ID. Dallas is $at and very hot, but there are many great theaters and a great media scene.

Q: Did you attend college?A: I am a graduate of Syracuse University

‘99. I have a BFA in Film Production with a Drama emphasis. I have a great experience with small classes and an amazing opportu-nity to work with 16mm "lm exclusively for 4 years. My professors allowed me to explore the medium and discover how to really use it to tell a story and create an impact on the audience.

Q: What is your !lm about?A: It’s a short documentary about two guys

that build custom guitars for famous musi-cians, along with their hot rock-chick secre-tary, that’s also the singer of their rock n roll band, and the hinjinx that ensue.


A: I enjoyed "lming the entire process, as Rob and Wave, the two guitar builders are just crazy fun to be around. I’ve always compared them to Jack Black and Will Ferrell, they walk into a room and just take over, leaving a path of chaos and laughter in their wake.

Q:Why should students watch your movie?

A: Students should watch this movie be-cause it will be worth extra credit and get them romantically involved, if that whats they

choose, and yeah, it’s a great way to spend a few minutes of their existence...

Q: What was your home town like? Are you from Idaho?

A: I am “from” all over, mostly Chicago, where it was tough weather, rude people and great food. I’ve lived in Boise for awhile now...

Q: Did you attend college?A: I am a Junior at Life U. I’ve taken some

classes here and there, mostlybecause I want-ed to learn about something in particular. I was never a fan of going to college for a few years to get an expensive, rounded degree to learn I wanted to do something completely di#erent with my life. As a "lmmaker, you should totally go though, because then you have access to all of the schools equipment...

Q:What is your !lm about?A:”Missed, Taken” is the story of a man

named Ted who, after being separated from his family due to a stint in prison, has a chance to see his son again for the "rst time in "ve years. He’s on parole, but has a room-mate that smokes marijuana, Ted’s former drug of choice. If Ted indulges, he risks los-ing what really matters to him. It’s a story that simply asks the question, “What’s really im-portant to you? And what are you willing to sacri"ce for what you really want?” I suspect that the presence of marijuana in a negative light will be an issue that might spark some debate, but I hope that the real theme of the "lm stands out -- anything, any vice, habit, job, commitment, or even a harmless indul-gence, could potentially be an obstacle to our greatest desire. Do we have the courage to evaluate obstacles to what our heart truly wants, or is it easier to just hope it all works out?

Q: What was your favorite event in the movie? (Either a scene or a speci!c part di-recting it?)

A: I have the privilege of having a great group of fellow "lmmakers that I’ve worked with for a few years. Any "lm project I’m working on, I can always count on them to make it stand out. We also have quite a few good laughs. My philosophy is, the people making the "lm (in front and behind the camera) are more important than the "lm itself. !at mindset, I believe, contributes to the overall quality of any "lm. So, long an-swer short, my favorite part of the "lm was simply working with my friends.

In addition, the lead actor, TJ Johnson (whom I’ve worked with twice before), took the opportunity to give me some invaluable

feedback from pro actor to aspiring director, that greatly increased my perspective, and enabled me to more e#ectively give the ac-tors what they needed from me.


A: If the subject intrigues them, they should see it! I think all of us can bene"t from some real world self-examination once and a while.

Q: What was your home town like? Are you from Idaho?

A: I was born in Fresno, California, but have been raised in Boise, Idaho, from 1989 to now. Boise’s all that I really know as far as hometown’s go, and I feel very fortunate to have been able to grow up here. Great peo-ple, great city, and a great many locations for "lming due to the many terrains of Idaho!

Q: Did you attend college? Graduate? When? Major? What was your college experience like?

A: I actually "nished high school and im-mediately began working at my church, the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Boise. In January of 2010, I will have been working there for seven years as the Director of Media Production. I’m not ruling out college in the long run, depending on where life takes me. I currently have a feature screenplay undergo-ing its third revision, and hope to, in the next "ve years, gain a budget of around $10 mil-lion to make it happen, hopefully bringing in some recognizable talent in the process. While inching towards that goal, I have an online serial drama that I’m developing and hoping to produce in the next year or two. If and when I do pursue further education, "lm school is the target, mainly for the connec-tions that I’ll be focused on establishing.

Q: What is your !lm about?A: It’s basically a comedy, a joke. Some-

thing fun. No real redeeming social value. Not going to tell you the joke here, except for this set-up: A man calls home and a maid an-swers. He didn’t know he had a maid.


A: My favorite part of making any movie is the excitement of the people (actors and crew) who show up to make it happen. On this particular movie it was my "rst time working with Leah Reynolds and I enjoyed that very much.


A: Because it’s funny. It has no other real value. !e lead actress, Leah Reynolds, is a

theater student at Boise State.Q: Where did you attend college?A: I graduated from the University of Idaho

in 1976 with a B.A. in Radio/Television Pro-duction. Part of that education included "lm making classes, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Over the past 20 years I have been directing stage plays in the Boise Valley. I have direct-ed over 40 full-length productions for almost every theater including Stage Coach, Alley Rep, Spontaneous Productions, Boise Little !eater and Boise Music Week. I have direct-ed everything from 2 person ‘guerilla’ theater in co#ee shops to full-scale musicals on the Morrison Center stage.

And after 20 years of directing theater, I’ve decided to turn my attentions back to movie making.

J. FREEMAN DEJONGHJournalist

Addiction, personal sacri!ce and consequence are prevalent themes in, “Missed, Taken,” a short !lm screening in the Idaho International Film Festival about a parolee named Ted.

Ted has recently been released from prison and has been given the chance to see his son for the !rst time in !ve years. "e dilemma: Ted’s new room-mate is an avid marijuana smoker. Ted is a former marijuana addict and if he in-dulges, will jeopardize the possibility of seeing his son and will perhaps be sent

back to prison."is !lm brings to light questions of

moral implication, what is one willing to sacri!ce? What means more, family or addiction? An excellent combination of visuals and music give this lightly script-ed !lm a grappling sense, though its only ten minutes in length.

"e cast, consisting of less than a dozen people, do an excellent job of capturing the real life emotion which is prevalent in these dramatic but all too common situations. Local Director Brandon Free-man has provoked a hard hitting ques-tion. Not of drug use and the legality of it, but rather of sacri!ce, and what we are willing to do for family and love.

KIRK BELLEditor

When somebody drops the !ag, it’s good to know there is another dedicated ally right behind to help march for-ward.

Boise States sophomore running back/nickel back/kick returner Doug Martin "nds himself in that role, one he originally anticipated for himself. With the fall of up-and-coming junior running back D.J. Harper late in the fourth quarter against Fresno, new doors opened for Martin. Harper is believed to have a torn ACL, a season-ending blow for any athlete.

But Martin is no slouch. His multidimensional façade is balanced by playing all three team aspects of the game – o#ense, defense and special teams. With the fall of a com-rade, Martin can focus on what brought him to become a Bronco in the "rst place -- running the rock.

“[BSU head coach Chris Petersen] asked me to be a team player,” Martin said. “He thinks that I’m a team

player and that’s what I am, a team player…”Martin wears multiple masks for the Broncos as a way

to "nd playing time "lled with more experienced team-mates. Harper and fellow junior running back Jeremy Av-ery have paid their dues and become a sort of dynamic duo during the Bronco’s "rst three outings. $ey have combined for 563 total yards and averaged 6.3 yards per carry. Harper and Avery are nearly identical down the stat sheet on rushing.

Martin has two touchdowns on the ground and has av-eraged 3.9 ypc on 10 touches through three games.

One would think the change might a#ect the play call-ing. Petersen believes that Martin’s athleticism could be a good "t in the absence of Harper.

“I hope [the running game] doesn’t change,” Petersen said. “I hope that now Doug and Jeremy are the one-two punch that we’ve been talking about all along. Hats o# to Doug Martin. And I’ve been saying that all along. We’ve moved him to defense and now we need him back on of-fense and the guy doesn’t bat an eye. Whatever he can do

to get onto the "eld and help us win he’s willing to do it.”Martin is slotted as the second running back, shared

second duties with junior nickel back Jason Robinson behind junior Winston Venable and as a kick returner beside junior wide receiver Titus Young. Martin averaged 45.3 yards per return on three balls brought back. He re-corded a 77 yard return against Fresno State last week during the Bronco’s 51-34 victory over the Bulldogs.

Martin also has seven tackles this season for BSU.

THE HARPER FACTORLosing Harper removes a crucial piece of the rush-

ing puzzle at BSU. He leads the team with three rushing touchdowns and 284 yards. $e look that Harper/Avery production brought allowed for one to feed o# of the other. Harper averaged 94.7 ypg to Avery’s 93.0; Harper had 44 carries through three games to Avery’s 45 ypg. Each has a long rush over sixty yards this season; Avery

$is weekend’s college football matchups resulted in a couple of BCS busters going down. $ere was a David versus Goliath battle in Seattle, and the rise of an old powerhouse. We saw two Mountain West Conference teams lose that were trying to crash the BCS. Utah fell to Oregon 31-24, and BYU was han-dled by Florida State 54-28 on their home "eld.

$e biggest story from the weekend was un-ranked Washington’s upset win over No. 3 USC. $e Huskies defeated Idaho the week before, but previ-ous to that they held a Pac 10 record 15 game losing streak, including an 0-12 season last year. $e win over USC skyrocketed them back into the AP top 25 for the "rst time in six years. Now after their 2-1 start, which included a respectable 31-23 loss to No. 7 ranked LSU, is UW for real?

On another note, the University of Miami (FL) posted a 33-17 win over the triple option attack of No. 14 Georgia Tech. With the win and FSU’s thrash-ing of BYU, Miami’s stock has gone o# the charts, sending them to No. 9 in the AP poll. After crucial

matchups against No. 11 Virginia Tech next week and No. 10 Oklahoma the following week, we’ll know just how good Miami is and if they are back to being legitimate BCS contenders.

All of the parity over the weekend posed the ques-tion, is college football in a power shift? Washing-ton and Miami, both programs dominant in the late 1990s and early 2000s, both seem to be reloading and returning to their old form. Not to mention low-ly Tennessee regaining some respect by holding top ranked Florida to a 10 point win and breaking Tim Tebow’s consecutive games with a passing touch-down streak at 30.

UW has a long way to go because two wins doesn’t equate to a successful rebuilding project. If the team can carry the momentum throughout the season, get a couple of tough wins, and "nish over .500, it has to be considered a BCS bowl sleeper next year with its rapid improvement under new head coach and former USC o#ensive coordinator Steve Sarki-sian. But for this year, the talk of UW should be put on the burners until they have proven they are con-sistent and they belong.

Miami, on the other hand, has knocked o# two ranked teams that have looked impressive in their

other games. Florida State’s convincing win over BYU, who beat Oklahoma, made Miami’s win over FSU much more impressive. If Miami can beat both Virginia Tech and Oklahoma in its next two games, they could show up anywhere in the rankings. $ey will have opened the season 4-0, all four games against ranked teams, arguably the toughest sched-ule to date, and they will have to be considered at least a top 5 team.

Even if Miami is not able to keep the ball rolling, they have to be a scary team to look at for the future. $e quarterback and dynamic playmaker, Jacory Harris, is just a sophomore. $e leading rushing Graig Cooper, is a junior and should be back next year, and their top two receivers so far should return as well. $ey also landed the number one athlete in the recruiting class of 2009, Ray Ray Armstrong, and coach Randy Shannon will surely "nd a spot for him in the future that will allow him to be a playmaker.

$e way things are going for the U, they might be back to national championship contention sooner than they hoped. And the way they’re playing, if it all falls into place in the next couple of games, don’t doubt that they could run the table and play for a title this year.

Former powerhouses score benchmark victories

Shawn Garus has joined the Bronco family. He is hoping to right the ship as Boise State University’s newly-appointed head volleyball coach.

A highly successful volleyball player himself, Garus played for California State University - San Bernardi-no where he competed for four years as a top-ranked player. His time volunteering at the Olympic Training Center encouraged him to decide he wanted to be a coach. It is that winning mentality Garus is trying to inject into the Bronco system.

“I have been a part of rebuilding programs three times before,” Garus said. “I also have strong ties to areas Boise State can recruit from.”

Garus knows that if they want to win, they need to start with the fundamentals.

“My goal right now is to get players and coaches committed to achieving the same goals,” Garus said. “Work ethic, communication, !tness...all things we can control and we need to improve.”

Garus has served as the top assistant coach at the University of San Francisco, helping them reach their !rst NCAA tournament and !rst ever national rank-ing (No.24).

He was with the Texas Tech University Red Raiders during 2002 and University of Colorado - Colorado Springs prior from 1998 - 2002. Garus slated a 22-9 record during the 2001 season dur-ing his time with UC - Colorado Springs at his !rst head coaching position. He helped to record a 14-14 record with TTU as an assistant with the program.

Even with this success Garus believes it comes from the basic fundamentals of the game. He brings an interactive and cohesive philosophy to BSU.

“I am always learning from coaches in all sports. I don’t think I do anything unique. I am con-!dent in what I do and I am willing to outwork others.”

Although the season hasn’t started the way he hoped, Garus understands growing pains come with a new organization.

“A new season is always exciting,” Garus said. “"is year has been bizarre since the new coach-ing sta# had never worked together and we met players for the !rst time while preparing for matches in August.”

Despite a loss "ursday to the Utah Valley Wolverines, the Broncos showed signs of great improvement from their 0-9 road trip.

“For where we were head-ing into this game, I thought we came out with a nice e#ort overall,” Garus said.

Hopefully this is a good sign for the Broncos and Coach Garus for the rest of the season.

with 74-yard and Harper with 60-yard scampers respectively.

“It’s really hard. I [don’t] like that one bit,” Avery said bleakly after the Fresno State game last Friday. “…He’s a good back and I know I need him. It’s kind of hard that he went down. But we’ve got to move forward. We’ve got a couple more games ahead of us that we’ve got to look forward to. So hopefully he’ll be back and we can move forward.”

!e coaches don’t believe Harper will be back during 2009. He underwent an MRI Monday after-noon to get a better prognosis of the injury.

“D.J., we think, is going to be out for the year,” Pe-tersen said. “We think he’s got a torn ACL and our doctors are pretty convinced…!ey are usually not wrong on those things.”

!e Broncos are already looking ahead with

Harper in mind. !ey believe he should be able to retain his junior athletic season with an injury this early in the football year.

Petersen has faith in the medical sta" that takes care of the injured athletes.

“It’s very hard. It’s hard on all of us,” Petersen said. “It’s hard on our o"ense. It’s hard on D.J. But that’s football and the silver lining in this whole thing is that we think we’re going to get his year back. And with ACL’s and the great work that Dr. [George] Wade and his sta" do, he should be com-ing back just as good if not stronger than before.”

Wade is the founder of the Idaho Sports Medi-cine Institute located at the southeast corner of Bronco Stadium in Boise, Idaho.

He has been a team physician for local athletes on the high school and collegiate level since 1979.

Updates from Harper following his prognosis will be made available online when more details have been released.
