New coffee hits the grind One World takes over as Sisters’ Brew owners move on Ryan Locke Argoanut

After nine years of being a fixture in both the Moscow and university communities, Sisters’ Brew coffee shop will brew no more. Sisters’ Brew management closed their locations in the UI Administration Building and Janssen Engineering Building at the beginning of the year, handing the reigns to One World Cafe, another Moscow staple, Jan. 19. Sisters’ Brew owner Gina Rich said the

business was still doing well, but she was ready to move on to other things. “It could be really fun, but after nine years it just wasn’t challenging anymore,” Rich said. “It was kind of the same thing every day.” Rich said one of her daughters had a baby and wants to be a stay-at-home mom, and her other daughter wants to travel, so they made the decision to close the business and each pursue their own interests. Rich said she approached One World because she knew Sisters’ Brew had many loyal customers and she didn’t want to leave them with nothing. She felt that One World, as another locally-owned coffee shop offering similar prod-

ucts, would be an appropriate successor. Rich said she might do something more under the Sisters’ Brew name in the future, such as online sales of bulk coffee, but for the moment, Sisters’ Brew is saying goodbye. “I would love to tell all of our customers and everything, thank you so much,” Rich said. “It was just wonderful, they were all great.” Brandy Sullivan is the owner of the One World Cafe. She said the transition period onto campus was extremely quick — One World made the agreements, signed the paperwork and moved in during the first two weeks of the year. It has been a challenge to get used to

the campus, Sullivan said. One World Cafe, founded in 2005, is a longstanding fixture of downtown Moscow, yet Sullivan said the products and services customers on campus want can be different from what customers want at the downtown location. Sullivan said the outgoing Sisters’ Brew management was very helpful in introducing them to the campus, giving them information about their customers and what they like. “In some ways it’s starting over, which always takes a little bit of time to sort through,” Sullivan said.

Culture through CLEO Corrin Bond Argonaut

College of Law Director of Admissions Carole Wells grew up in a large family, but growing up, nobody spoke about going to college around the dining room table. As a result, Wells said she found that pursuing a higher education was more of a challenge for her, because unlike in the households of her peers, college was not an expectation.

Income inequality among students is one of the many gaps the University of Idaho College of Law is trying to fill with its participation in a national pilot program. The CLEO Legally Inspired Cohort, also known as CLIC, is one of the Council on Legal Education Opportunity’s newest pilot programs aimed at helping diverse students better obtain a legal education. “It will add diversity to our little school of

109 students and not much diversity,” Wells said. “(Participants) get more personalized attention so they can be successful, so they’re not falling through the cracks.” Wells said the program will help students who may encounter more disadvantages in pursuit of a legal education than their peers, whether it’s because of gender, race or social class.

The most critical year Task force recommends freshman continue to live in Greek houses Katelyn Hilsenbeck Argonaut

At universities all around the country, freshmen are given one housing option: university-provided housing. At The University of Idaho, freshmen are able to make a decision to live in a Greek house, in university housing or in cooperative housing, such as Steel House — a choice many consider unique. The Student Life Task Force recommended UI continue to offer first-year students the option to live in Greek houses in a memo Jan. 14. “A lot of the first year is leaving home for the first time,” said ASUI Sen. McKenzie MacDonald, who is a member of the task force. “A lot of the first year is where you live.” SEE year, PAGE 5
