with Van Kleeks friends for two
and a half hours.
As the students read the letters
they had prepared, Barbara said
that the room quickly filled with
love, sadness, laughter and tears.
David and Barbara Van Kleek
learned that for many students,
their daughter was the first person
that made them feel welcome
at the university. Other friends
described Van Kleek as a joyous
light, the glue that held the floor
together, and a motherly figure
among the residents of the third
floor of the LLC.
She had the biggest heart,
Sawyer said. She was thoughtful
and remembered the little things
about her friends. She took care of
us if we ever needed anything.
Three weeks before her passing,
Van Kleek was initiated into the
Eta Iota chapter of Delta Gamma.
According to her mother, Van
Kleek was hoping to gain the sisters that she never had by joining
the sorority.
18-year-old Haley Roberts knew
Van Kleek since they were in kindergarten. She remembered Van
Kleek as not only caring and kind,
but also sympathetic. According
to Roberts, Van Kleek was always
able to give people words of
encouragement, especially when
they were most needed.
She would believe in you more
than you would in yourself and

Music festival
puts a spin on
ringing in the
New Year
THINGS TO WATCH
OUT FOR THIS WEEK
By Alexa Solis
By Breanna Denney
Nestled among the trees and snowcapped mountains of South Lake Tahoe,
California on Dec. 31 was a sight uncommon for the 8-degree weather: thousands
of concertgoers were dancing the cold
away at the sold-out SnowGlobe Music
Festival as they rung in the New Year.
SnowGlobe, which just finished its
fourth year, is a three-day event held
on the Lake Tahoe Community College
campus that brings in some of the biggest acts in electronic dance music.
DJs Zedd, Skrillex and Disclosure all
headlined the festival. These are some
of the most high-profile concert DJs in
the world, helping make SnowGlobe a
legitimate EDM festival.
The three of them were accompanied
by 49 other acts ranging from the hiphop powerhouse Atmosphere to the
electronic rock duo Phantogram. The
festivals diverse program, combined
with its snowy surroundings, has helped
SnowGlobe become one of the most successful winter music festivals in the world.
According to ticket sales, SnowGlobe had
approximately 10,000 concertgoers each
night with the attendance rates rising to
15,000 for the sold-out New Years Eve
shows.
With thousands of people milling
about the festival, attendees created
flags and hoisted them above the crowd.
One such flag belonged to the University of Nevada, Renos own Sigma Phi
Epsilon chapter held by sophomore Jake
Thomas. Thomas and his friends were
originally drawn to the festival by the
last years lineup (featuring acts such as
Snoop Dogg, Tisto and Cut Copy) but
said that they returned because of the
overall experience.
I think it appeals to [college students]
because we are at the age where we want
to experience these things that we might
not always be able to do, Thomas said.
Its a great way to become more social
and relieve stress built up from school
and work and every other pressing thing
in our lives.
While festivalgoers were there to
experience the atmosphere, temperature
was one of the biggest concerns with the
festival. The first night saw temperatures
as low as 21 degrees, and they only
continued to fall. For some people the
cold was too much, but for others such as
Thomas, the amiable tone of the festival
didnt leave attendees out in the cold.
There was a tent designated to making
sure that people who were not prepared
could warm up and be safe, Thomas
said. It had paramedics and staff on site

Follow him on Instagram,
Twitter, Soundcloud and
Tumblr @johnathonpablo.
Playing at a large music festival along with his musical idol,
Porter Robinson, gave Pablo a
new perspective and renewed
drive toward his pursuit of a
musical career.
[SnowGlobe] just inspired me
to keep doing what I am doing,
to strive harder than before,
Pablo said.
Pablo prides himself on
remaining true to himself and
his musical tastes when creating
his mixes. Though he is using
samples of other music, he is
careful to select music he feels
is relevant, and strays away from
what he considers to be mainstream electronic music.
Ive seen him use music as a
source of output for emotion,
and its inspiring, said friend of
Pablo Kyle Gier. He figured out
a way to release everything he
feels into his hobby, and I really
envy that.
Performing at a festival the
size of SnowGlobe is something
many up-and-coming DJs aspire
to, and Pablo is no different.
According to Pablo, the festival
was exactly what he needed to
further his musical aspirations.
Its given me a better idea
of what I want to write in the
future, Pablo said. Im not sure
there is one specific goal [for
a career in music], but I want
to keep doing what I am doing
and I want to perform more
and connect with more people.
Music makes me happy and the
goal is to stay, well, as happy as
possible.

@TheSagebrush | nevadasagebrush.com
set us up for success in our professional line of work. After all, that is
why we are attending college in the
first place, isnt it?
Striving for that commendable
grade point average during the
spring semester will lock in those
soothing three months of sunshine
and summer time. Vacation will
undeniably be much more pleasant
with a successfully completed
semester behind you.
To achieve this relaxing break
from the busy school year, one
must be deserving of it. With that
being said, make your grades
admirable.
Dont settle for that average GPA
that keeps you at a constant level
throughout your college career. Just
because the school year seems to
be simmering down does not mean
that you should be.
Odds are that if your droopy eyes
make an attempt at reading along
with your professor, those hour and
15 minute lectures will go by much
faster. Along with this, you may
actually understand the foreign
language on your next exam.
The habitual nature of procrastination can play a role in any lecture
hall, with any boring professor, during any semester. Let us kick off the
New Year confidently by straying
from the temptations laziness has
to offer.
Staying focused is key, along
with a positive mindset and some
motivational strength. Dont let
spring 2015 slip away from you
during a few extra hours of sleep.
As Gandalf once said, All we have
to decide is what to do with the
time given to us. Well, that time is
now.

After an embarrassing loss, Nevada
looks to get season back on track
Date
Opponent
By Stone Harper
There was a whirlwind of ups and downs
for Nevada over winter break. During
December, the Wolf Pack carried an
eight-game losing streak including losing games to lesser opponents such as Cal
State Fullerton and Pacific. Nevada then rallied
off four straight wins including guard Marqueze
Coleman hitting a go-ahead jumper with four
seconds to defeat UNLV and effectively
silence the entire crowd at the Thomas
and Mack Center.
However, Nevada has fallen back on
hard times, losing its last two games, including a 49-point shellacking at the hands
of Colorado State. This week the Wolf Pack
looks to get back on the winning track as it
hosts Utah State on Tuesday and will then
travel to California for its rematch against
Fresno State.
