For many University of Idaho students, Greek Week is about more than carnival games and talent shows.

“It’s uniting. It’s competitive,” said Claire McKeown, UI Panhellenic Council public relations director. “It’s also a time to celebrate being Greek, celebrate the traditions we have on campus, the individual traditions we have and also what makes us a community.”

UI Greek houses will compete in various activities — including skits, a talent show and field day — throughout the week to gain the most points.

In prior years, teams were assigned. medical amnesty

However, McKeown said Panhellenic and the Interfraternity Council allowed houses to pick their own teams to vie for the 5-foot trophy the team with the most points wins.

McKeown said the previous system did not always work.

“We want everyone to be happy and having the greatest amount of fun,” she said.

Andy Kim and Mady McInerney, members of Delta Tau Delta and Alpha Phi respectively, are working to coordinate their team’s Greek Week activities and agreed the partnership between the two houses was a good fit.

“Everyone’s kind of motivated because we want to hang out with the Delts,” McInerney said.

Kim said although he didn’t predict both houses voting to partner with each other, their pledge classes have grown increasingly closer.

“I’m stoked that we’re Greek Week

partners,” Kim said.

Evan Barton, IFC public relations director, said Greek Week is a lot like Homecoming in the sense that different living groups come together.

“When each individual house has their own philanthropy, it’s very centered in your house,” McKeown said. “When you come to Greek Week, it’s no longer about your house.”

Greek Week is a national tradition for many universities around the country.

“It’s a way bigger scale than people ever expect it to be,” McKeown said.

McKeown said Greek Week is a break from daily stressors.

“You have something to look forward to everyday with a cool group of people you enjoy being around,” Kim said.

Medical Amnesty bill awaits governor’s decision Jessica Gee Argonaut

ASUI’s medical amnesty bill may soon be finalized after it was sent to Gov. C. L. “Butch” Otter’s desk earlier this week.

The bill would grant legal protection to underage drinkers in the case of a medical emergency. ASUI Lobbyist Nate Fisher said after the bill passed in the Idaho House of Representatives March 7, it made its way through the Idaho Senate.

“Our Senate sponsor was Patti Anne Lodge, who is Chair of the Judiciary and Rules Committee on the Senate side, which is huge,” Fisher said. “She’s a big advocate to have especially with this bill going through her committee.”

With the support from Sen. Lodge, Fisher said the bill was passed unanimously in the Senate Judiciary and Rules Committee Mar. 11.

Drawing from experience Corrin Bond Argonaut

After watching a YouTube clip of comedian Brooks Wheelan telling the story of bringing a girl home only to have a Furby doll that was hidden in his closet start speaking, University of Idaho student Camille Awbrey said she laughed out loud for days.

As the Vandal Entertainment Lectures and Performing Arts Chair, Awbrey’s job involves bringing speakers, comedians and other performers to campus. She said video clips like the one about the Furby convinced

her to invite Wheelan, a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, to the university.

“I try to find one large comedy act a semester,” Awbrey said. “He really stood out.

I’ve watched his YouTube videos a bunch of times and he’s hilarious.”

Wheelan will perform at 7 p.m., Tuesday in the Vandal Ballroom of the Pitman Center. The show is free for students and $5 for the public.

Wheelan, who is from L.A. by way of Iowa, began performing comedy at the age of 19 while attending the University of Iowa.

“I just did it once and then I was like, ‘I

While he has performed at a variety of different venues, the comedian said he has enjoyed visiting colleges in the past and looks forward to coming to Moscow for the first time.

“Every show is different. I like doing colleges because they’re fun,” Wheelan said. “It’s really loose, everyone is having a good time.”

‘Drugs of tomorrow’ UI student receives Hill Fellowship for work in organic chemistry Carly Scott Argonaut

Though he’s a biologist by major, University of Idaho student researcher Lupe Gutierrez’s interest in organic chemistry was sparked by a carbon compounds class with professor Kristopher Waynant.

Gutierrez said he’s always loved the sciences, so when the option of doing research outside the classroom came up, he jumped on it.

“I just emailed him right away,” Gutierrez said. “Like, ‘I’ll do it.’”

Gutierrez, 21, is originally from Santa Ana, California, and transferred to UI from Santiago Community College, drawn by scholarship opportunities and encouragement from his girlfriend.

Chopin said his first goal is to get to know as many supporters as he can, both on and off campus.

“I need to find what people’s interests are, and find out how to support those goals,” Chopin said.

Chopin said he wants to help build upon Reyes success when it comes to scholarships and fundraising, because he believes every little bit helps.

Chopin said he likes the size of UI as well as the emphasis on students. He said a comment he remembered hearing fits the university perfectly.

“It’s big enough to matter, but small enough to care,” he said.

Chopin will officially step into his role as dean of the College of Business and Economics July 1.

THE ARGONAUT

Battle for running back role highlights spring practices Page 7

Women’s Tennis

Women’s Basketball

Freshman domination Freshman Marianna Petrei has become a vital part of the Vandal’s women’s tennis team Brandon Hill Argonaut

Freshman Marianna Petrei has shattered expectations in her first season with the University of Idaho women’s tennis team.

Petrei was named the Big Sky Player of the Week on Wednesday for the second time this year.

The two honors are just a glimpse into Petrei’s explosive freshman campaign. She currently owns a 14-2 record and is undefeated against Big Sky opponents.

Originally from the small town of Udine, Italy, Petrie grew up enjoying both tennis and gymnastics. As she grew up, she was forced to decide between the two.

“I wasn’t very good at gymnastics,” said Petrei.

Petrei said her parents were the first to kindle her interest in tennis at the age of 10. The Italian native continued to play recreationally while attending school, but never participated in competitive events.

Petrei said her decision to bring her talents to the University of Idaho was greatly influence by the Moscow scenery and the college campus. Petrei said the cold weather has been somewhat difficult to adjust to, but she appreciates the beauty of the Palouse.

The weather has done little to slow Petrei down. Her only two losses of the season were in matches with a tiebreaking third set.

Petrei has quickly become known around the Big Sky Conference for her accomplishments in singles play. The freshman earned the No. 1 spot on the team due to her strong performances.

“In singles, it’s different,” Petrei said. “It’s just you. You can do whatever you want.”

Petrei has used her singles freedom to her advantage in recent weeks, dispatching opponents from Sonoma State, San Jose and Sacramento State.

Petrei’s wins have allowed Idaho to remain competitive in several recent matches.

Notable opponents for the freshman have included Sybille Gauvain of San Jose State and Alina Soltanici of Sacramento State. Gauvain was an All-Mountain West selection last year, while Soltanici was undefeated in conference play before facing Petrei.

Idaho head coach Mariana Cobra said she has been impressed with the freshman’s early success.

“Maria has been one of our top players over the last few matches,” Cobra said.

As the season comes to a close in the next few weeks, Petrei will look to spark the Vandals to a first place finish in the Big Sky Conference. Idaho currently sits fourth in the standings, but the program is tied for the most overall wins in the conference.

Petrei and the Vandals will return to the court Thursday in Moscow to face Eastern Washington.

Family comes first Idaho coach Jon Newlee chronicles journey in finding family and success on the Palouse Tess Fox Argonaut

Family is the No. 1 priority for Idaho women’s basketball coach Jon Newlee.

Anyone who has visited his office in the Kibbie Dome can see it, as the walls are covered in photos of past teams, as well as his daughter and her artwork.

Staff Analysis: March Madness Sleeping giant — Indiana Indiana has been one of quieter teams in the NCAA tournament so far.

The Hoosiers blew past Chattanooga by 25 points before upsetting No. 4 seed Kentucky 73-67.

Josh Grissom Indiana ranks second in Argonaut the country in points per game with an average of 82.3 and possesses a shooting average of 50.1 percent from the field. Although turnovers have plagued Indiana at times, the Hoosiers have the explosive firepower to match any team’s offense.

Family is the reason he moved to Moscow, and why he loves the Palouse, he said.

“I love the passion of the Vandal family,” Newlee said.

The Idaho head coach spent his childhood in the gym with parents who both coached collegiate sports.

“My dad was a men’s junior college basketball coach when I was growing up,” he said. “I was in the gym since I was a baby and I haven’t gotten out of it yet.”

Newlee played basketball through high school and later earned a spot on the roster at

Cinderella story — Gonzaga Gonzaga has the weapons to emerge as the unexpected winner in the Sweet 16. As the No. 11 seed, the Bulldogs are the lowest seeded team remaining in the tournament. Gonzaga Tess Fox upset No. 6 Seton Hall and Argonaut No. 3 Utah in the first and second rounds, providing a continuous theme of bracket-busting victories.

As a Washington native, I’m obligated to root for Gonzaga, right?

Tournament surprise — Wisconsin Wisconsin is the team no one expected to see when March came to a close. The team’s shocking upset over No. 2 seed Xavier proves just how versatile the Badgers can be. The team faces an underwhelm-

ing Notre Dame program in the Sweet 16. Based on Wisconsin’s performance in last year’s tournament as well, fans should not count the Badgers out of the race for the national title.

Chaffey College. He graduated with a degree in physical education from San Diego State.

Newlee said the coaching background of his parents motivated him to pursue the same career path.

“I always knew that that’s what I wanted to do,” Newlee said. “I really was inspired by my dad, coaching wise. I knew it from day one — when I was getting out of college that’s what I wanted to do.”

Powerhouse — Oklahoma Many of the top tier programs have safely reached the Sweet 16, but fans should not ignore the dominating presence of Oklahoma on the hardwood this March. If Kansas does Luis Torres not advance to the Elite 8, Argonaut then the Sooners will be the team to beat in the Final Four. Buddy Hield has been electric from the field and increased his NBA draft stock

Everyone needs to be keeping an eye on Gonzaga in the Sweet 16. The team’s performance against both No. 6 seed Seton Hall and No. 3 seed Utah during the first two rounds was certainly unexpected. If Mihaela Karst Bulldog guards like Kyle Argonaut Dranginis, Josh Perkins and Erick McCellan can catch fire and move the ball around the perimeter, the team might be able to defeat Syracuse’s daunting two-three zone. With help from forward Kyle Wiltjer, Gonzaga is a force to be reckoned with.

match the Cowboys’ $8.25 million offer. The contract includes $4 million for Mayowa’s first year with the team.

During Mayowa’s three years in the NFL, the defensive end played in 30 games and recorded 23 solo tackles and two sacks.

Mayowa also had two fumble recoveries and forced one fumble during his time with the Raiders.

The signing occurred after the Cowboys elected not to make any effort to retain free agent Greg Hardy.

Mayowa played at the University of Idaho from 2009-2012, recording a total of 67 tackles and 11 sacks. The defensive end entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent, signing with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013 before joining the Raiders the following season.

Purcell named inside linebackers coach

Bozeman High School head coach Troy Purcell was named the inside linebackers coach for the Vandals during a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

“I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to join Coach Petrino,” Purcell said.

“We grew up together in football and have very similar styles.”

Purcell led Bozeman to three separate Class AA state championships during his 11 seasons with the program. The coach also led Havre High School to the Class A title in 2004.

Purcell guided the Hawks to a 13-1 record last year, including a 35-23 state championship win over Billings Senior.

“There are a lot of great memories and a lot of great teams,” Purcell said in an interview with the Bozeman Daily Chronicle last month. “There’s great kids and great families, so it’s bittersweet.”

THE ARGONAUT

Family FROM PAGE 6

Newlee’s first collegiate coaching job came through his sister, who was a coach at Saint Mary’s College of California.

From there, Newlee spent time coaching at Southwestern College, Texas-San Antonio, Southern Methodist and Hawaii.

Newlee met current Idaho associate head coach Christa Sanford during his time as an assistant with the Rainbow Wahine. When Newlee received the head coaching offer at Idaho State, Sanford transferred to Pocatello.

“Right after I finished playing I actually was a grad assistant for a year and then started coaching with him,” Sanford said.

The associate head coach said she feels fortunate to have been able to work with Newlee for most of her career.

“He and I have a great relationship,” she said. “I feel like I know what he wants and I’m able to back him and support him (and) help implement his plans, because I’ve worked with him for so many years.”

Newlee said his time at Southern Methodist allowed him to develop one of his famous strategies: the green light policy.

“I’m not going to take them out for taking a shot,” Newlee said. “You’ve got to have time to start getting in the flow and basketball is a game of mistakes. You’re not going to be perfect.”

Newlee said he saw how constantly benching players at Southern Methodist negatively impacted their mindset.

“You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take,” Newlee said, pointing to a piece of paper in his office employing the quote.

“That’s my philosophy. We live by that.”

After 17 years as an assistant coach, Newlee said he craved a head coach position and began sending applications across the country.

“It was kind of crazy,” he said. “I sent an application in (for Idaho State). Out of nowhere, the AD called me and said he wanted to interview me.”

Newlee was in Oregon playing at the National Invitational Tournament with Hawaii at the time of the call.

“Flew out there, (and) in two days they offered me the job,” Newlee said. “And I just took it.”

Newlee spent the next six years rebuilding the program in Pocatello.

“We were at ground zero there at Idaho State,” Newlee said.

The budding head coach earned Big Sky Coach of the Year honors, and was the second coach at Idaho State to earn the honor. The Bengals attended the WNIT three separate years during Newlee’s time with the program, despite no previous invites.

Newlee’s daughter Bailey was two years

old at the time and accompanied the team on road trips. The coach later received a memo from the Idaho State athletic director that his daughter would no longer be allowed to travel on any university vehicle.

“I have her for a month,” Newlee said.

“I’m the dad. She has to come with me.

She’s two-years-old. And they were like, ‘Nope. Not bending on that.’”

Newlee said he decided it was time to find a new job.

“I’m telling you it was like divine intervention — fate — however you want to put it,” Newlee said. “I put that word out and (Idaho Athletic Director) Rob (Spear) called me. He just said, ‘Hey I heard you’re looking. We have a job here would you like to come up and interview?’”

Sanford, a Pullman native, encouraged Newlee to consider the head coaching job in Moscow.

“She loves this place, loves the Palouse,” Newlee said. “I came up and just fell in love with this place.”

Newlee said Spear delivered the best news of all — his daughter would be allowed to accompany the team on trips.

“Rob said, ‘Oh yeah, your daughter can travel, we are a family-oriented department,’” Newlee said. “And I go, ‘Sold.’”

Newlee was hired as Idaho’s head coach on April 15, 2008.

The Idaho head coach said he considers himself lucky. During his transition to Moscow, he was able to persuade the majority of the Idaho State coaching staff to join him in Moscow.

When it came time to set new expectations and map out the season, Newlee’s staff followed a familiar plan.

“We used the same kind of blueprint that I used at Idaho State to kind of get this program back,” Newlee said. “I couldn’t have done any of this without my staff.”

According to the head coach, the Idaho program was “in shambles” when the staff arrived. Newlee said the rebuilding process started from the ground up.

“It started with recruiting,” he said.

“Identifying some really good local kids, supplementing with some foreign kids and then just changing the culture.”

Newlee said the new coaching staff focused not only on the students’ performance on the court, but their behavior in the classroom.

“I just told them, ‘Hey these are our expectations for us and our Vandal program here,” Newlee said. “‘This is the way things are going to be and if you don’t adhere to this you will be gone.’”

Newlee said that is the reason why his team initially consisted of six players during his first year with the program. He said he began recruiting from other sports teams, and two soccer players and a volleyball player joined at his request.

Former Vandal guard Stacey Barr reached the Grand Final Series of the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) earlier this month with the Australian-based Perth Lynx.

After a distinguished senior season at the University of Idaho in 2015, Barr signed a one-year contract to play basketball in Australia with the Lynx — the only professional team representing the western half of the continent.

Barr was part of a Lynx roster that took the WNBL by surprise this winter, as the organization reached the Grand Final Series after posting

a 16-8 record.

The former University of Idaho standout helped the team reach the championship series for the first time in 17 years.

The Lynx eventually fell to the Townsville Fire in the championship, losing consecutive games in the bestof-three series to drop the title.

Barr’s transition from college star to professional appeared unchallenging for the former Idaho playmaker.

Barr scored 618 points during her senior season with the Vandals and posted an average of 21.3 points per game under head coach Jon Newlee.

“I think playing for Jon, we find the kids for our system,” Idaho associate head coach Christa Sanford said. “I think Stacey just flourished because she knew that she could pretty much do what she needed to do with the ball in her hands. She

ragedy works in two ways.

It can either bring people together or force them apart. The terrorist attack in Brussels, Belgium, Tuesday shows the latter of the two.

In the wake of that attack, thousands have called for justice to be served for the 30 people killed and 230 wounded. However, some of those who are all for justice blame an entire religion as the cause of the bombing. They spread hate and anger onto innocent people who are victims just like everyone else.

Instead of lashing out in blind anger, people should band together to support the global community in any way they can. After the Paris attacks last year, Facebook was full of profile pictures incorporating the French flag and people posted support through their feeds. While it may seem silly to some, these actions are raising awareness.

People should feel free to share stories and posts that inform friends about the ongoing investigation into the identities of the bombers, three of which are dead and two who are still unknown

Try non-meat protein sources such as lentils, beans and nuts.

Meat certainly has its advantages, but it is not the only source of protein. Adding plant-based protein can also help you stick to your grocery budget.

Compare brands and types of food to find the best price. This may take some time comparing and contrasting, but you will ultimately save money. Some stores make this easier for you by providing the price per unit.

Buy in bulk. This allows you to spend within your budget while purchasing exactly what you need. Some great, non-perishable items you can find are oats, rice, flour, quinoa, dried beans, nuts and seeds. Bulk items are usually cheaper than prepackaged and you can assess the color, aroma and texture of products.
