The sophomore women’s soccer player doesn’t have a car, so she sought a new mode of transpor-tation at an unlikely retailer: a thrift shop.

There she found it: a rusty old-fashioned cruiser, color decayed from years of wear and tear but parts still intact. The Schwinn two-wheeler didn’t look like much, yet Krieghoff couldn’t help but gravitate toward it.

At its crux, this bike was perfect.The team has plenty of down time

between its summer practices, so the players often occupy themselves with various summer projects.

Krieghoff made the bike hers.After two-a-days on the soccer

field, she’d spend hours on the back deck of her house, spray painting the bike, installing recently purchased parts and perfecting her new ride.

“When she puts her mind to something, it’s like that is going to be done, almost just that attitude that it will get done,” roommate and team-mate Robin Mertens said. “There’s not a question about it. If obstacles come up she just figures it out.”

What started as a rusty hidden gem has now become the com-plete package.

If Nike is looking for a new

spokesperson, Krieghoff may be the perfect candidate.

After all, her character is syn-onymous with Nike’s trademarked tagline; the forward always finds a way to “just do it” and, during the interview, sported the slogan on her shirt.

Krieghoff possesses an extraor-dinary level of focus, to the point where things like mononucleosis, known as “mono,” or the probe of college soccer’s national spotlight don’t phase her.

That spotlight has found its way to San Luis Obispo this year because Krieghoff has quietly become one of the nation’s pre-mier strikers.

Quietly, because by just talking to the Clovis, Calif. native, you’d never know that she leads the na-tion with 15 total goals and 1.25 goals per game.

“She’s quiet, unassuming and just a pleasant person to be around,” head coach Alex Crozier said. “You say, you’re gonna talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk. She walks the walk but she doesn’t really talk about herself. She just gets the job done.”

The Fresno Bee Player of the Year as a senior at Buchanan High School, Krieghoff led the

Bears to three Central Section Division I titles and scored 100 goals during her tenure.

Plenty of NCAA Division I soc-cer powerhouses showed interest in Krieghoff, including UC Irvine, Fresno State, Vanderbilt, USC and Cal State Fullerton. But coming to Cal Poly was a no-brainer.

“Every time I came to Poly, I just felt like this was where I was going to be able to succeed,” Krieghoff said. “Meeting with coaches a lot, (Crozier) was always honest and upfront with me, he always told me how it was. I felt like, at other plac-es, they were just trying to sell me.”

Krieghoff had only one concern with Cal Poly at the time: now the nation’s top scorer, she plays on far from the nation’s best team.

“At the back of my mind I al-ways thought like, ‘Wow, could I have maybe gone to a different place, like bigger and better?’” Krieghoff said. “At the end of the day I think I’m here for a reason. I can become a leader here more so than just another player at a big Pac-12 school.”

Her collegiate soccer career wel-comed her with open arms, but soon rejected the embrace and

More students means more germs.

To meet the growing demand of a rising student population, the Health Center extended its hours as part of a new pi-lot program. However, those aren’t the only changes the Health Center could be facing.

The Health Center was previ-ously open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m Monday through Friday. As of last Monday, the hours extended to 6:30 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays by appoint-ment, said Dr. David Harris, interim director of health and counseling services.

If the pilot program is suc-

cessful, the center will look to expand its hours more nights per week, with limited hours on Saturdays and Sundays, Harris said.

Harris said the schedule changed because that’s what students wanted. The Health Center faced two problems, staffing and financing.

“Staffing is very expensive,” Harris said. “Because you don’t just need a doctor; you need a doctor and a nurse and a lab tech and an X-ray tech and a pharmacist and a pharmacy tech and receptionists, so it just kind of mushrooms.”

be present at night, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., to conduct follow-up appointments, he said. That will open up 12 more appointment slots a week for the doctor and four slots for counseling, he said.

According to Vice President of Student Affairs Keith Hum-phrey, new staff was hired to fill the evening shifts. Some even volunteered.

Historically, ‘wellness’ only involved preventative medi-cine. Now, the Health Center is adopting a new approach, Harris said.

Every person has a “well-ness wheel” that is comprised of a person’s physical wellness, emotional wellness, intellectual wellness, spiritual wellness, etc. The idea is to help people define which areas of their “wellness” need to be supported more than others, as well as give them ac-cess to programs and methods to support that, Harris said.

“In other words, try to make each person as completely whole as possible, and take on good lifestyle habits,” he said. “Just general ‘how to be well.’”

Another possible change to the Health Center could be the result of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.

The potential impacts of the act are being analyzed at every level of administration, all the way to the chancellor’s office.The act “is going to affect ev-eryone,” Harris said.

Since everyone would have insurance under Obamacare, there may be a change in bill-ing students’ health insur-ance. Another change could be reevaluating the need for a health care fee at all.

However, Harris said a fee would always be necessary because it funds services, such as health education and out-reach programs.

“So we can’t do away with it completely,” he said.

The increase in the student population will effect the Health Center. First and fore-most, Humphrey said. More staff would need to be hired to meet demand.

Also, the Health Center is an old building meant for a

smaller campus. Humphrey said the center may need to get creative about when and where it provides care. For example, a satellite in Poly Canyon Village two days a week or in the li-brary one afternoon, Humphrey said. There are a lot of services the center can take out into the community, he said.

However, some things will remain the same. Both Hum-phrey and Harris want to con-tinue the educational experience each student receives with their health visits.

When students come to the Health Center, it’s often the first time they are receiving health care without their par-ents. Helping students navi-gate the system and learn to make independent choices is important, Humphrey said.

“We try to provide that learn-ing experience with every en-counter here,” Harris said.

For the past five years, Harris was head of medical services. Four years before that, he was a staff physician at the Health Center, totaling his time at Cal Poly to nine years. He was an

emergency room doctor for 10 years, before spending 20 years in private practices, all within the San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.

When Dr. Martin Bragg re-tired this past week, Humphrey did not conduct a nationwide search for his replacement, and allowed Harris to step into the position for approximately one year. Humphrey said he wants to take a step back and examine Health and Counseling Services to see what changes and im-provements need to be made be-fore hiring a new director. Those steps will be included in the job description for the new leader, Humphrey said.

“One of the main reasons why I’m taking that step of not mov-ing right into that search, when Dr. Bragg told me he was retir-ing, is because I’m new,” Hum-phrey said. “I don’t have as deep a knowledge as I would like about our health and counseling center to be able to clearly artic-ulate what the next step is for it.”

The Health Center is free to students because of the health fee all students pay.

Panhellenic recruitment end-ed with 575 women receiv-ing bids from eight sororities this past Tuesday, making this year’s recruitment the largest in Cal Poly’s history.

“We started with 785 women,” said Danielle Durante, public relations director for the Pan-hellenic Council, which manag-es sorority life on campus. “Five hundred seventy five of them accepted bids.”

The dropout number was larger than usual, but Cal Poly officials haven’t yet collected data to determine why.

“Sometimes students get discouraged throughout the week,” she said. “It’s a long week, they might not get the

house they want, and there were so many girls. A mil-lion different things can fall into place.”Despite the increased num-

bers, traditional recruitment rituals continued smoothly. Greek life coordinator Di-ego Silva said the success was partly because of open com-munication across the Pan-hellenic Council and various outside resources.

“We built a lot of relation-ships,” he said. “We had lots of national help; volunteer advis-ers came in to make sure ev-erything ran smoothly.”

Women began recruit-ment activities on Sept. 28 and spent three days visiting houses, learning about the organizations and ultimately narrowing it down to one

sorority on Sept. 30 — known as “Pref Night.”

Pref Night saw the biggest impact of the large class, Durante said. Tradition-ally, students would narrow their choices down to two houses and visit only those two for the night. This year, the groups of women were split into three groups be-cause of their size.

“The girls still went to two houses, but some of them had a break in between the two,” Durante said. “We had to do it that way to split the girls into groups of 60.”

The smallest pledge class was 67, but Durante said she’s starting to see their numbers plateau.

A touring group of Tibetan monks from India will be giv-ing a presentation on campus Thursday in Alan A. Erhart Agriculture (building 10), hosted by Cal Poly’s religious studies department.

The monks will be creating a sand mandala, a 3-D sand painting. According to their website — yes, the monks have a website — sand mandalas are an ancient Tibetan Buddhist art form. Mandala is the San-skrit word for “cosmogram,” or “world in harmony.”

The website describes a mandala as an “imaginary palace that is contemplated during meditation.” Each ob-ject within the palace is sym-bolic for a guiding principle or piece of wisdom. By creating a sand mandala, the monks are illustrating the textual tradi-tions of their religion.

Afterwards, you will be able to see the sand mandala for your-self at Steynberg’s Gallery on California Boulevard and Mon-terey Street, said Anet Carlin, a member of the community liai-son that organized the group’s

trip to San Luis Obispo.There will also be a 30-minute

question-and-answer session

during which students can ask the monks about any subject.

Each monk in this touring group is a student from the Drepung Gomang Monastery in Karnataka, India. Though this is the first time this par-ticular group has visited, the religious studies department has welcomed Tibetan teach-ers to campus twice before.

“Religious studies is always trying to bring diverse reli-gious life onto campus and show students other ways to live,” said Steven Lloyd-Mof-fett, the religious studies pro-fessor who invited the monks to campus. “What we try to do is whenever (the San Luis Obispo community) bring speakers, we try to provide an option for them to speak on campus to students.”

Moffett said he hopes the Drepung Gomang monks won’t be the last speakers the religious studies department hosts this year.

“We hope that this trip is just one of a series of lectures over the course of the year,” he said. “We hope to have a half dozen or so. We want to add to the diversity of religious perspec-tive on campus.”

The presentation will take place from 11:10 a.m. to noon in building 10, room 223.

Tibetan monks to create sand mandala on campus

“We’re still increasing in num-ber,” she said. “But we’re finally starting to see it slow down and even out.”

Panhellenic Council hopes to bring one more chapter on to Cal Poly’s campus in the next two years, Durante said, and hopefully reduce the pledge

class sizes to between 50 and 60 women. This year’s largest pledge class was 75. That was in Cal Poly’s newest chapter: Kappa Kappa Gamma.

The larger pledge classes could pose a challenge because of new-member education greek life must participate in.

“Sororities are now going to have a challenge to make sure they have healthy new-member education programs,” Silva said.

New members will go through education programs throughout the quarter, with initiations happening through-out the year.

If students are still interested in going greek, most Panhel-lenic organizations offer infor-mal recruitment in the winter and spring. Students interested in greek life should contact members of the Panhellenic Council or Silva.

Cal Poly’s religious studies department will host Tibetan Monks today. The monks will create sand mandalas — an ancient Ti-betan Buddhist art form — which will be shown at Steynberg’s Gallery. After the performance, the monks will hold a question-and-answer session. The religious studies department hopes this will be the first of many series on diverse religions.

Kinesiology senior Nick Larson and aerospace engineering senior Jake Devincenzi are Mustang News beer columnists.

Nick: I am a fan of the liquid of the gods, also known as beer. In this column, my partner in crime, Jake, and I hope to in-form, entertain and make a posi-tive impact on the beer culture around our campus.

I’ll start by saying, yes, I am a beer snob. I can admit it. !at’s

the "rst step, right? But that doesn’t mean I won’t anchor a boat race full of Natty Light and enjoy it. We are in college — the time in our lives where we’re sur-rounded by an abundance of al-cohol and not a lot of money.

Of course, I’ll take what I can get. But in my ripe old age of 21,

I’ve found solace from the con-stant nights of pounding glori-"ed piss. I was introduced to a whole new world. Not a world "lled with aluminum, 64 calories or Keith Stone. !is is a world "lled with glass bottles, hops and the perfect amount of head. Our goal is to introduce you to this beautiful world and help you enjoy beer as much as we do.

I discovered beer at a late age. I rarely drank in high school — not because I didn’t want to, but because I didn’t like the taste of beer. It wasn’t taboo in my family — I was always o#ered a drink at dinner — but to be honest, I preferred milk. !en, I arrived at Cal Poly and quickly

realized through a rough couple games of beer pong that my pref-erence would have to change.

Sophomore year came, and some friends introduced me to some new beers. Stella Artois and Blue Moon replaced Coors and Keystone, and casual drink-ing began. I think of this as the puberty stage in my beer life, as my elementary crush (Coors) turned into my "rst kiss (Blue Moon), and then, the best/worst thing in any person’s life hap-pened: I experienced my "rst or-gasm (Chimay Tripel, one of the most widely known and best-tasting Belgian Tripels) and nev-er looked back. It has consumed my life. !e gi$ of Chimay from

my parents, accompanied by two friends who were also passion-ate about quality beer, sparked a new goal in my life: to try every beer I possibly could.

Jake: How have I gotten through three years of aerospace engineering, you ask? Beer. Beer, beer and more beer. From mak-ing beer, to drinking beer and everything in between, I love it all. But I wasn’t always a hop-head (more on that term later) — there was a time when “classy beer” was Coors Banquet and Blue Moon was a luxury.

Yes, like most of you, drinking beer used to mean picking up a

30 of Natty and playing count-less drinking games, "nding any excuse to throw back those piss-%avored beverages. It was a sim-ple life of blissful beer ignorance … and then I was hit with a roundhouse kick of barley, yeast and hops by the cockiest MoFo you could ever imagine. On sec-ond thought, he was more of an Arrogant Bastard. No, really.

One night, my friend brought over a 22-ounce bottle of Ar-rogant Bastard Ale, a highly alcoholic bitter beer by Stone Brewing Company in Escon-dido, Calif. I wish I could say I took a sip of this liquid gold and my life was changed forev-er, that the roof opened up and golden light showered upon me from the beer heavens as the delicious bitter liquid made its way down my throat. But, alas, this was not love at "rst pint. I thought it was disgust-

ing. I was certainly no propo-nent of the watery liquid I had grown accustomed to, but this seemed a bit intense. !e Arro-gant Bastard did do one thing for me, though. It opened my eyes to a whole new world of beer. If there was such a dras-tic di#erence between Coors Light or Blue Moon and this heavy-hitting Bastard, there must be some sort of middle ground in which I would "nd enlightenment.

A new mission began to form

in my mind: I must try every beer in-between until I discover what I really like. !is was no easy task. Growing up, my par-ents always told me, “you have to try something 15 times before you know if you like it.” Looking back on it now, this may not have been what they were referring to.

Nick and Jake: Since our epiphanies, we have cleaned out San Luis Obispo vendors and saved every unique 22- and 25-ounce bottle we consumed in the past year. We are cur-rently in possession of approxi-

mately 250 bottles in our house, and have tried between 400 and 500 di#erent beers. From sweet Belgian Tripels brewed by Trap-pist Monks in Belgium to bitter tongue-biting IPAs brewed in our beautiful home state — we have tried them all.

On top of all this, we began brewing our own batches of beer. We are almost to the point of brewing every weekend, and are "ne-tuning our skills as brewers. We hope to eventually open a brewery and continue to pursue our passion.

In this column, we will take you on a journey through the discovery period we have ventured through and give you a taste of every small niche of the beer brother-hood. Unfortunately, we can-not provide you with physi-cal tastes as some of you are not 21, but for those youn-gins out there, we will do our very best to educate you be-fore you turn that grand ol’ age. You know, the one where you can finally try alcohol for the first time.

A new mission began to form in my mind: I must try every beer

in-between until I discover what I really like.

gave her the cold shoulder.Krieghoff believes she came to

Cal Poly last year with mono, though the disease didn’t com-pletely take over until early in the season.

But in her signature style, she brushed off the infection and played through it, scoring a goal in her collegiate debut at Loyola

Marymount (LMU).“You almost wouldn’t be able

to tell,” Mertens, a Cal Poly centerback, said. “We had our game against LMU, we get on the bus and she’s like, ‘Listen, I’m really not feeling well.’ But none of us would have been able to tell after seeing her play. She was really comical about it. She would send us Snapchats of her at home with mono and stuff like that.”

Pale and exhausted, Krieghoff

was sidelined for three games during the nonconference schedule. She had to sit back and let mono, a self-limiting disease, run its course.

“I kind of just let it happen,” Krieghoff said. “It’s mono. It takes a while to cure anyway. I didn’t have time to think about it I guess. Once I found out I had it I was just like, ‘Well, I’m just going to go with it at this point.’”

Krieghoff ’s entire freshman year was hindered by the virus,

as she didn’t fully recover until after the season. She’s clearly at 100 percent this season, though, having scored 15 of the Mustangs’ 21 goals through 12 games. Now, health is something she never takes for granted.

“Last year was such a mess for me,” Krieghoff said. “Having mono and always being sick or not feeling well was really hard to play with. I wanted to make a difference last year and I didn’t really have time to take care of myself. This year I don’t have anything to play through. I just get to play.”

The Mustangs came up just short of an NCAA tournament bid in 2012, losing by one goal to Cal State Northridge in the Big West Conference tourna-ment semifinals.

The whole team had its fair share of injuries, so it remains to be seen what a healthy Cal Poly can do with a healthy Krieghoff. The current sample size, though impressive, is so small that the future is uncertain.

“I think she’s a player that has the potential to be an All-American,” Crozier said. “For Elise to do what she can do re-ally well, which is score goals, our team needs to be in a better attacking rhythm. As the sea-son progresses, we’ll see more and more of what Elise can do with a good team around her.”

Krieghoff is the prototypical goal-scoring machine, but the trials and tribulations of being a forward don’t get to her head. That impenetrable focus is in full force on the soccer field.

“Oftentimes you’ll see a play-er take a shot and put their head down and think about that for a while,” Crozier said. “With Elise,

a shot doesn’t get in and in her mind, it’s like; ‘Well, I’ll go get the next one.’ You can see that in her. It doesn’t bother her. She just goes back and does it again.”

Teammates respect her hu-mility more than anything, Mertens said. Though Krieg-hoff ’s soft voice won’t always grab the attention of other play-ers, she leads by example and her teammates follow, gravitat-ing to her modesty.

“That’s her attitude towards goals, too,” Mertens said. “She’s like, ‘I don’t know, I just shoot it and it goes in. There’s no special thing to it. Just get lucky and it happens to work out.’”

She manufactures goals natu-rally and battled mono like it was a mosquito bite. Krieghoff has a unique way of just going with the flow, accepting life’s challenges and facing them head on.

“That’s who I am,” Krieghoff said. “That’s kind of my charac-ter in life in general. I just gotta do it and go through it, but be positive about it.”

As Krieghoff evolves, so does her bike.

And she isn’t looking to build a standard cruiser, either. She’s adding a motor that will take the two-wheeler up to 50 miles per hour, allowing her to weave in and out of traffic on campus, battle San Luis Obispo’s daunt-ing hills and reach her destina-tion before anyone else.

It may be unassuming in ap-pearance and nature, but some-thing about that bike makes it stand out. Quicker and more powerful, it effortlessly glides around any barriers in its path, almost as if there are none at all.

state Division II champion at Folsom High School in 2010.

The former Sacramento Bee Player of the Year saw some action against San Diego ear-lier this season, but suffered a high ankle sprain in the process. Saturday marks his first start at the Division I collegiate level.

“Hopefully we can start throwing the ball around a little bit more and just pro-

tect the football and put more points on the board,” Graves said. “The quarterbacks have been real supportive of each other. No matter who’s at the helm, we still just want to win.”

Weber State ranks last in the Big Sky in almost every sta-tistical category. But its 1-5 overall record is deceiving, as Weber State’s losses have come against some of the nation’s strongest teams, including No. 8 Eastern Washington.

“They’ve played the toughest schedule in the Big Sky,” Walsh said. “They’ve played five good

teams. Athletically, I’m really impressed with what they are. And I’m sure after watching us play they feel pretty strongly that they can beat us.”

The Wildcats lost by 63 points to Utah on Sept. 7, and followed with a 64-point defi-cit against Utah State the fol-lowing week.

Still, there’s no underestimat-ing Weber State. Cal Poly beat the Wildcats 45-23 a year ago, but was shutout through the first quarter.

“They’re a good football team,” Millard said. “The five

teams they lost to are good teams. Their record doesn’t speak to how good they are.”

A defense worth noting

Cal Poly’s defensive unit was overshadowed by the offensive struggles last weekend. Mil-lard recorded a career-high 13 tackles, while Cameron Ontko and Nick Dzubnar tacked on 13 and 12, respectively.

“We’re making good prog-ress,” Millard said. “Even last game, first half we shut them down. They got us on a trick

play, it happens. The only time we got hurt was when we hurt ourselves. I think we’re going in a good direction.”

Briefly

Wide receiver Willie Tucker will be sidelined against We-ber State. The junior suffered a knee injury in the second quarter against Yale, and will see a doctor this week.

Senior defensive back Vante Smith-Johnson will likely sit out as he tends to a sore hamstring.

On government shutdown, save bickering for later

For all the national talk of what the federal government shutdown is doing in Wash-ington, D.C., it can be easy to overlook the effect it’s having at Cal Poly. But it’s already taking a toll.

While we recognize a degree of showmanship and ideology are part of politics, Congress needs to save those for anoth-er time. Today, it must pass a continuing resolution to open the government and end the suffering its closure is bring-ing to our university.

Aside from layers of confu-sion the shutdown is bring-ing to students who need to

get in touch with the Depart-ment of Education for finan-cial aid questions, we’ve also seen instances of it hurting university operations.

Students who were hired on campus this year but didn’t have their Social Security card handy have had to apply for a new one. But because of the shutdown, Social Secu-rity Administration offices are closed, leaving these students working without pay or un-able to work at all.

And as for our Army ROTC program, students are unable to use Camp San Luis Obispo for training.

“The main thing impacting us right now goes along with the training piece — if we can’t use the facilities at Camp

San Luis Obispo, we’re a little bit more limited,” said Capt. Jeremy Medaris, an assistant professor of military science.

“Honestly, I think in a month or so all this will be resolved,” he said.

The reason we’re seeing these problems here in San Luis Obispo is because of Congress’ disagreement over the Affordable Care Act, oth-erwise known as Obamacare. Republicans have taken a hard-line approach to nego-tiations by acting as if it’s OK for the shutdown to continue indefinitely unless Democrats make concessions to delay or defund Obamacare.

But CNN, The Washington Post and The Huffington Post all reported enough Repub-

licans are willing to end the shutdown with a no-strings-attached bill Democrats have already endorsed. What’s stopping that bill now is pres-sure from the far-right Repub-licans — the ones who advo-cated for shutting down the government in the first place.

Speaker John Boehner knows a bill to open the gov-ernment without changing Obamacare would lose among Republicans. This would em-barrass the speaker more than perhaps any other course of action he could take, even though the bill would likely pass in the House of Represen-tatives, Senate and be signed into law by the White House.

The government could be on track to open today if Boehner

would allow a vote on this “clean” funding bill. To do so could cost the speaker his job, but it would spare Americans from Washing-ton, D.C., to San Luis Obispo from the real and immediate effects of the government shut down.

There is a place in democ-racy for legislative politick-ing, but it is not today. House Republicans should vote now for a funding bill to open the government back up, then try to make their case against the Affordable Care Act later.

Ivy League upset

The taste of last weekend’s loss to Yale is still fresh.

The Bulldogs made their third-ever trip to California last weekend and upset Cal Poly, which fell below .500 for the second time this season.

The Mustangs turned the ball over four times and committed three penalties in a 24-10 defeat.

“The biggest thing is not to panic,” senior linebacker and team captain Johnny Millard said. “Take it a game at a time and a play at a time. Every-thing will fall into place.”

Brown out, Graves in

Sophomore Chris Brown, who took the reigns as quarterback on Sept. 7, will hand them over this weekend; Dano Graves will take the first snaps against Weber State.

Though Brown has been nursing a hip injury, head coach Tim Walsh said Graves would get the majority of the playing time regardless.

“We decided that we need to see what Dano Graves can do,” Walsh said. “Based on some in-consistencies and maybe some

ball management things, we’ll give Dano an opportunity. This is a critical game for us, obvi-ously for a lot of reasons.”

As Walsh put it, Brown did some “good things” and some “not-so-good things” during his tenure as quarterback. The sophomore threw two inter-ceptions and fumbled the ball four times against Yale, only one of which was lost.

“Some of those things hap-pened a little more regularly this past Saturday,” Walsh said, “which allowed us to start to consider making the change. This change is not an indica-tion that that game made the final decision.”

Graves, the 2010 MaxPreps National Player of the Year, transferred to Cal Poly from Air Force this year after play-ing for its prep school and ju-nior varsity teams. He was a
