Beginning Wednesday, ASBSU senators will go to Nampa in search of students interested in representing the needs of the Canyon County campus. ASBSU has one senator-at-Iarge opening. Currently no senators represent Canyon County specifically, ASBSU Senators Robert Green, Pam Magee, and Lea Sweat less thanstellar aturday will travel to Canyon County to begin looking for a student who knows Canyon County's issues. Last year senators passed a resolution to hold at least one council meeting per semester at the Canyon County campus. lor the Broncos This year the senate is looking for ways to represent Nampa students more, Green said. They believe a student representative from Canyon County would be best suited. The current student body government would like to see Canyon County have a greater voice on its Boise sister campus. Green added that ASBSU President Ali Ishaq is receptive to pursuing that goal. Elected representatives who are trying to voice student concerns need to have a connection with those students and their needs. "The needs of the students at Canyon County could be different from needs at Boise State Campus," Green said. Sen. Magee is concerned students who attend the majority of their classes at the Nampa campus are unaware of some of the benefits of their Boise counterparts. "I think a lot of the students don't know what's available to them," Magee said. All students, including those in Canyon County, pay student fees, and some of those funds go to ASBSU. Magee said they would like to get involved in helping them as well. According to Magee, an ideal representative would attend at least two classes in Canyon County. Senators need to maintain a 2.5 GPA or higher, be a full time student and must be able to commit 10 hours minimum to office and committee meetings. Meetings are held every Tuesday and Thursday in the Forum at the Student Union Building. They are open to the public and are mandatory for senators. "That's what makes it hard for Canyon County," Magee said. ASBSU may look at televising meetings in the future. Magee admitted to a lack of communication between the Boise and Nampa campuses. Over the summer computer labs in Nampa were only open four hours a day. Some students had to commute to Boise to use the computer labs for their classes. If a Canyon County representative could have voiced their . PHOTO BY STANi,EY BREWSTER/THE ARBITER' concerns, the council could have known about the situation . Fumbles, penaltles.and a detennlned Vandalssquad led to the lackluster performance by BoiseSate. The Broncosescaped the KibbleDome sooner and would have been able to fix it, Magee said. A large number of students attend the Canyon County campus with a 24-10victory and now prepare for OregonSlate next week. full time said Sweat. "It's a growing part of the university. Ever since Canyon County STORY ON PAGE 5 has come into play, we've wanted to find a representative," Sweat said. "It's hard for us to find the time to talk to Canyon County students, but we want to let them know a spot is available."

Footballs aren't the only MY balls being Broncos beat Vandals inIdaho showdown\ tossed around ~ right now. Volleyball ENTS season is underway. We _ tend to forget" about volleyball at Boise State, considering football is the biggest show in town. Let's face it, in previous years you could predict the outcome of all of the Bronco volleyball matches before the team started warm-ups: a loss. It's not exciting to watch a team play that has only won three times in the last three years. That's right count 'em, three. You'd hate to be oneofthosethree' schools wouldn't you now'? Three returning players, '10 new players, and a sophomore head coach. Looks like the volleyball team has had a much-needed makeover. As a matter of fact, they even have a new Matrix reloaded attitude. They've gone and gotten all Hollywood on us. Hopefully it will be enough. ' There have been some additional changes, , excluding personnel. The Bronco Gym has been exclusively designated for volleyball. So now they have their own venue. That's a good start. Bronco Stadium has been good to us. Maybe Bronco gym will do the same for them. On the downside, there is a loud echoin that gym when all the seats are empty. I might point out that if the team doesn't start winning, that's exactly what it's going to be. Empty. Minus the team, trainers, coaches, etc...
