Graduate students discuss gun control issue at panel
Four UM graduate students armed themselves to debate gun control issues in front of an audience Thursday night. One panelist said after the debate that gun control nearly cost him his life.
“My self-defense firearm was safely locked in the car that my head was bouncing off of,” said Daniel Kostelnik, georaphy graduate student.
Two men jumped Kostelnik as he was leaving a bar in Great Falls 11 years ago. The men were after his wallet, but continued to beat him until a bystander intervened.

Big ups and Backhands
Well, well, here we are folks. The last Big Ups & Backhands of the semester. Take a deep breath, turn down your iPod and put the phone on airplane mode, we need you to focus here. This has got to get you through your whole summer, so savor it …
For starters, a Backhand to the sultry-looking sexologist next to me on this page for suggesting it’s somehow shocking that most people she polled would rather give up oral sex than cheese. Cheese is delicious and readily available — two distinct advantages in this particular competition. If Albertsons starts carrying blowjobs, we’ll reconsider, but until then, it’s all about that chedda.

Bergquist gets another shot in British Columbia
In the high-stakes poker game that is professional football, former University of Montana quarterback Cole Bergquist went all in … and lost. But unlike many a gambler, Bergquist earned a second chance.
A few months ago, the British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League began to covet the 6-foot-2, 220-pound native of San Clemente, Calif. Until two weeks ago, Bergquist’s agent Mike Bernstein and the B.C. Lions had a contract on the table awaiting the quarterback’s signature. But an outside shot at earning an invite to a NFL mini-camp caused Bergquist to bet the house. The fourth-leading passer in Montana history left the contract unsigned.

Downhill tips for gutsy longboarders
Surfing birthed skateboarding more than fifty years ago. Like surfing, shorter boards evolved primarily for tricks. But for the longboard, it’s more about style.
“A lot of people underestimate it,” said senior Dave Pickering, who has been downhill longboarding for five years.
Longboards have rolled onto campus in recent years as a way for people to get between classes or just cruise around for fun’s sake.
