New role, big goal Kim focuses on enrollment, new council formed Ryan Tarinelli Argonaut

Jean Kim, vice provost for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, works in her office Tuesday on the second floor of the Idaho Commons. Kim is the first to claim the title, as the role is newly defined after the retirement of previous UI Dean of Students Bruce Pitman.

New administrator settles in at UI Ryan Tarinelli Argonaut

For now, Jean Kim may want to keep her music down.

Living among students in a Scholars LLC apartment, the new vice provost for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management said she didn’t want to create the wrong impression with her neighbors when she turned on her portable speakers.

“It’s like adjusting the volume, because I don’t want (students)

to be like ‘Oh yeah, who’s living over there, creating that racket?’”

Kim said.

Kim began her new role at the University of Idaho Jan. 5. After a long interviewing process for the vice provost of Sudent Affairs and dean of students positions last fall, UI administrators opted to separate the two. Kim was offered the vice provost position, as well as the new head of Enrollment Management.

“I was excited about joining the University of Idaho, in large part because of this new position and new opportunity to contribute,” Kim said.

Kim wishes she had more time to interact with neighbors, but said living in the dorms is a good firsthand experience, given her position at UI. Kim arrived in Moscow in late December and said she immediately felt the strength and love of the Moscow community in the wake of a tragic shooting that left three dead and one injured. Attending a candle light vigil and a memorial service, Kim said she was moved by the community’s support for the victims and their families.

Jean Kim used an acronym to sum up UI President Chuck Staben’s goal to increase enrollment — BHAG. “Organizations need a BHAG — a big, hairy, audacious goal — to mobilize people into a direction to accomplish something huge, but important and necessary,” she said.

To accomplish this goal, Kim, the new vice provost of Student Affairs and Enrollment Managment, will lead the new Enrollment Management Council that will aim to create a long-term enrollment strategy for UI. Kim said the council plans to meet once every two weeks and will have its first meeting Feb. 5.

Kim said the council will focus on the two Rs of enrollment: recruitment and retention. She said the council’s goal will be to increase the number of undergraduate and graduate students on the Moscow campus, but expects different colleges to have different challenges when it comes to recruiting new students and retaining current ones.

“We really need to look at the issue systematically and strategically,” Kim said.

Finding funds Idaho won’t Add the Words Hannah Shirley, Claire Whitley Argonaut

Committee votes along party lines to kill bill Your concerns are legitimate, very legitimate, and people in Idaho and in the legislature have heard you and are hearing you.

George Wood Jr. Argonaut

BOISE — Idaho lawmakers in the House State Affairs Committee voted 13-4 Thursday to reject moving the Add the Words bill to the full House for deliberation.

The bill would have added the words “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to Idaho’s existing Human Rights law.

The committee voted along party lines in support of a proposal by Rep. Ken Andrus, R-Lava Hot Springs, to keep the bill in committee and end the chance of it being seen by the House during the 2015 legislative session.

“People … are concerned that their religious freedom is being impinged, and their right to act would be violated to protect their religious held freedoms,” Andrus said. “We need to address those concerns as well. I think because of this hearing, we will have legislation.

Ken Andrus, Idaho representative

Your concerns are legitimate, very legitimate, and people in Idaho and in the legislature have heard you and are hearing you.”

The Add the Words campaign has had a presence in Boise for about 10 years, and this is the first year it’s been granted a committee hearing. For over 22 hours of public testimony on the bill throughout the week, 190 people testified — 134 in favor SEE words, PAGE 5

Changing the name of the Student Union Building to the Bruce M. Pitman Center was purely ceremonial, said ASUI President Nate Fisher at Thursday’s Student Activity Fee Hearing, but it also illustrated a loss of student space.

When Pitman arrived on campus over 40 years ago, and in the decades prior to his arrival, the SUB was home to dance clubs, tea rooms, bowling alleys and dining areas. Fisher said it was a space

ASUI committee hears student fee increase proposals

where students could go to relax — now, as current students know, the space is primarily administrative.

“I look around, and we don’t have a lot of space where students can congregate to just hang out and really get to know one another,” Fisher said. “We’re looking for a space that would be able to accommodate a couple pool tables, ping pong tables, some foosball tables and reading materials, and provide an open access space that students could use as they wish.”

That’s why Fisher said he requested a $2 increase per student in student fees for the next aca-

demic year. Fisher said the fee increase would go toward creating a shared student space on campus, specifically for hiring an architectural firm and interior design firm.

ASUI has its eyes on Commons 215, which is currently occupied by the College of Education until their building renovations are completed in 2016. Once the College of Education moves out, Fisher said the space had been promised back to UI students.

Sparks fly at tobacco presentation Faculty Senate raises issues with Idaho Tobacco Compromise’s presentation Erin Bamer Argonaut

Multiple members of the University of Idaho Faculty Senate voiced concerns about a presentation made by the Idaho Tobacco Compromise Tuesday.

The Idaho Tobacco Compromise, a group opposed to a tobacco ban on the UI campus, urged senators to support the idea of issuing a ballot measure to students, staff and faculty that includes proposals from both the Idaho Tobacco Compromise and the Tobacco Task Force.

The Idaho Tobacco Compromise’s plan is to create designated smoking areas on campus away

from buildings, while the policy proposed by the Tobacco Task Force would prohibit the use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco, pipes, hookah, cigars and all other tobacco products on UI property.

While many senators showed support for a ballot measure, some said the Idaho Tobacco SEE tobacco, PAGE 5

With the Super Bowl around the corner, many people are scrambling for last-minute snack ideas.

Most would probably indulge in hot wings or jalapeno poppers, but kale chips are great for anyone who wants a healthier option.

Kale is cheap and the rest of the ingredients are probably already in the kitchen.

They’re super easy to make and are sure to be appreciated by at least a couple of guests at a game party.

ASUI senators Eric Alvarez, left, and Cruz Botello participate in the second ASUI Senate meeting of the semester Wednesday in the Whitewater room in the Idaho Commons. Alvarez said he supports a diversity inclusivity resolution.

Warming up ASUI passes two resolutions, begins spring semester Hannah Shirley Argonaut

The ASUI Senate only has two sessions under its belt for the spring semester, but its members are not wasting any time.

At Wednesday’s meeting, the senate kicked off the legislative season with resolutions addressing diversity inclusivity and secular meditation.

Alejandra Gonzalez, ASUI director of diversity affairs, said she originally saw the need for a diversity inclusivity statement last year when she was a senator. She and Katharine Wongmankitkan, a former senator who graduated in December, drafted a resolution asking for an inclusivity statement.

“It’s important as a university to strive to have an inclusive community,” Gonzalez said. “I was very happy when they came to me with the statement … it’s a living document that will be changing throughout the years to become more inclusive and more diverse, and I’m very happy with the way the document is right now and I’m very glad ASUI supported it.”

The resolution was welcomed by

It’s important as a university to strive to have an inclusive community.

Alejandra Gonzalez, ASUI director of Diversity Affairs

the senators and passed unanimously.

ASUI Sen. Eric Alvarez, who sponsored the resolution, said he’s mostly focused on advocacy for students with disabilities in the past, but saw the resolution as an opportunity to go above and beyond.

“As a senator, it’s my job to support diversity here on campus, but we want to go beyond one simple diverse group,” Alvarez said. “We want to touch on gender, sex, culture. So when (Gonzalez) brought this resolution to my attention, I was all for it because that’s what we want to support and we feel like it’s increasing at a faster pace than it has been in a very long time.”

Senators also partook in a discussion about secular meditation on campus. The resolution, S15-02, was former ASUI Sen. Carlie Beasley’s last resolution before she left the senate.

The resolution supported UI Psychology professor Jamie Derrick, who

wants to teach free, weekly meditation classes on campus. Beasley said it’s been difficult for Derrick to find a large-enough space for the prospective class.

At about the same time Beasley drafted the resolution last semester, Derrick received permission to use a room in the Niccolls Building from 1212:25 p.m. on Wednesdays. Beasley said the resolution is still relevant, because she hopes Derrick will be considered every semester when rooms are designated for classes.

“Meditation is about being mindful and being present,” Beasley said. “Being present helps your studies, your life view, and your outcome, so I said to (Derrick), ‘Why don’t we work together to get student support?’”

Though the resolution didn’t specify how many students would be interested in the sessions, Beasley said many of the students she spoke to liked the idea.

ASUI Sen. Zoe Ball sponsored the bill, because she also knew students who would be interested in giving their mind a small break among a busy schedule.

“Everyone’s stressed out,” Ball said.

“It would be nice to learn to deal with that stress in an effective way, and Dr. Derrick is a professional.”

Hannah Shirley can be reached at arg-news@uidaho.edu

Breakfast was the most important meal of the day for a group of University of Idaho students who were selected to speak with legislators at the Idaho Capitol Building Monday morning.

Students were charged with inviting their respective legislators to a breakfast platter and giving them a tour of different booths representing the various colleges and programs at UI. Dubbed the Legislative Breakfast, ASUI President Nate Fisher said the annual event brings UI students face-to-face with the people who are going to vote on higher education budget appropriations.

“This is an event designed to get students connected with legislators here at the statehouse and try to be ambassadors for the university during this very important legislative session,” Fisher said. “We want legislators to have a real, concrete face associated with the university.”

Fisher said he did not expect participating students to lobby, and they were to connect with legislators on a personal level.

Legislative Breakfast participant and ASUI Sen. Stetson Holman represented District 34 and was able to sit down to eat some eggs and bacon with Rep. Ronald Nate, R-Rexburg.

“He was awesome,” Holman said. “He asked about University of Idaho, what our goals were being here and what Staben was going to propose at the JFAC meeting. We talked about my career plans and he even gave me some advice.”

Almost every student representative called their assigned district their home, according to UI Alumni Association Executive Director Steven Johnson.

“The real connection occurs when a student is an actual constituent of that legislator,” Johnson said.

UI senior Taylor Jorde, representing District 33, met both of her representatives and her district’s senator. However, she said her most memorable conversation was with Rep. Linden Bateman, R-Idaho Falls, who used to teach her grandfather back in high school.

“It was like I was talking to an old family friend that could have been my grandpa,” Jorde said.

“We talked about Idaho Falls and the high school there. He had such great things to say about my grandpa, how he was his favorite student and how he still follows his photography in the newspaper.”

Johnson said the Legislative Breakfast is collaboration between the Alumni Office, the Student Alumni Relations Board and ASUI. He said the program has been going on since about 2009.

“When I arrived at UI, I saw an opportunity for students and the university to interact with legislators, so I recommended that we select a student from each legislative district to invite their elected legislator to breakfast,” Johnson said.

Abby Biedenbach, a UI senior, represented District 24 and said she appreciated how accessible the legislature was to students.

“We are very fortunate to live in a state with a small enough population where it’s really personal,” she said. “It puts my mind at ease that I can come talk to my legislature about my experience here at University of Idaho, and what impact it has had on me.”

Facilities

Lack of facilities funding Maintenance backlogged, low funding trends at UI Ryan Tarinelli Argonaut

The University of Idaho has well over $220 million in backlogged maintenance costs for campus buildings, said Brian Johnson, assistant vice president of Facilities Services.

“That’s scary,” said Faculty Senate Secretary Donald Crowley in response to the figure.

Johnson agreed and said there is an alarming increase in the amount of facility backlog at UI, citing a report by Sightlines, a consulting firm hired to analyze facility funding at UI. Sightlines spent two years analyzing UI’s facilities and concluded its report in 2013.

“The big building issues are very easy to put off, and it doesn’t have to be resolved tonight, the place isn’t going to crash down on us tomorrow,” Johnson said at Faculty Senate Tuesday. “And yet, kind of from a big picture scope, we’re digging a grave or a hole that we are never going to get out of.”

According to the report, from 2007 to 2012 UI spent an average of 65 percent of what was needed to sustain

facilities in their original functions. In the same time period, peer institutions spent above the minimum amount required to sustain their facilities, with an average of 111 percent of funding. According to the report, peer institutions invested, on average, $2.5 million more than UI did annually to address backlogged maintenance.

As a result, Johnson said UI general education facilities have seen a 29 percent increase in facility backlog while peer institutions have only experienced a 9 percent increase from 2007 to 2012.

“It’s rough, not only for our peers, but quite substantially for us in (general education) facilities,” Johnson said.

Johnson said most of the annual facility funding comes from the state through the Permanent Building Fund, which typically gives UI $2-3 million on an annual basis.

He said the facilities department experienced an increase in funding over the past six years due to onetime funding opportunities and a state surplus in 2007-2008. Some years, more than $10 million was spent on general education facilities, but the regular budget is around half, Johnson said.

“Our normal investment rate is probably around the order of that $5

million a year at best — sad to say,” Johnson said.

Although the report showed funding shortfalls at UI, it also showed that limited funds are being spent in the right places, often on long-term needs, such as replacing roofs or HVAC systems, Johnson said.

“It might not be pretty or sexy, and it isn’t historically necessarily real attractive outcomes, but they are functional and useful and keep research active and instruction ongoing on campus,” Johnson said.

Johnson also laid out a list of the university’s construction and renovation priorities. He said the Integrated Research and Innovation Center was the top priority at UI, because of the strong need for a modern science facility on campus.

Also on the priorities list, improvements to the main floor of the UI Library, something Johnson said could use a facelift with a new layout and fresh upholstery.

Despite the backlog, Johnson encouraged faculty members to contact Facilities Services if something is broken to notify facilities of any surplus items they want removed.

council would take a look at the first and secondyear experience to increase retention efforts. She said studies show students who complete their first two years are more likely to graduate from a fouryear program.

All UI college deans have agreed to serve on the council, as well as Jeanne Stevenson, vice provost for academic affairs and Marty Ytreberg, chair of Faculty Senate.

“I was really pleased to hear from, really each and every one of them, their enthusiasm about serving on this council,” Kim said.

Kim said she is excited about working with staff members in the enrollment management office to improve day-to-day recruiting strategies.

She said the office has already seen operational improvements over the past months with the help of Mj Huebner, a contracted consulting director hired by UI. On the student affairs side of her position, Kim said she plans to improve career services, and in particular, make sure students reach their next professional goal. She said career services should focus on preparing students for a more mobile professional world.

Kim said UI will need to track student success after graduation to see how future career services impact students.

“Currently, it’s not clear to me that we really know what the outcomes are,” she said.

Student LIfe

Volunteers with vision Student club aims to initiate positive changes Corrin Bond Argonaut

There’s a student club on the University of Idaho campus that indulges in both community service and pie.

According to Vandal Volunteers Club President Jessica Darney, the pie may be an extra incentive to join the club, but the rewarding service experiences are what make people stay.

“We have pie at a lot of our meetings,” Darney said. “It’s partially as a thank you to our awesome members, but mostly because pie is delicious.”

Darney, a junior, said Vandal Volunteers is growing quickly after being established a few years ago.

“When I first joined, we had about five consistent members, and now we have 15 people who are solidly active,” she said.

Vandal Volunteers is a serviceoriented club where members participate in numerous projects within the community. Darney said she first became involved with the club following an Alternative Service Break in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

“A friend of mine from the trip introduced me to the club,” Darney said. “I had enjoyed all of the work we did in Pittsburgh ... we were able to grow so close to the community and to each other that I wanted to continue volunteering when I came back to Moscow, and I also wanted to help other students have those kinds of experiences.”

Natalie Magnus, program coordinator for UI’s Center for Volunteerism and Social Activism, said Vandal Volunteers has a diverse range of members.

“Our members come from all different walks of life, all different majors, different years in school,” Magnus said. “The common factor is that they are students who are enthusiastic and excited about volunteering.”

Magnus, who has served as Vandal Volunteer’s adviser for almost a year, said she plays a minimal role in the club, since the student participants are so efficient.

She said she tends to financial matters and on occasion she’ll aid members in brainstorming new volunteer ideas.

“My role is really simple,” Magnus said. “We have a great group of volunteers who work

At the meeting, the group talked about upcoming projects such as the Get Involved Fair and possible activities with the humane society. well together and know how to smoothly coordinate projects.”

Vandal Volunteers has worked with a number of local organizations, including the Humane Society of the Palouse, Habitat for Humanity, the Idaho Food Bank and the Palouse Clearwater Environmental Institute.

Darney said the club continues to look for interesting volunteer opportunities that are both necessary for the community and engaging for club members.

“We are currently trying to get involved in a Relay for Life project and we are working on a big project with the Humane Society,” Darney said. “Encouraging involvement and retaining members is our biggest

challenge, so we try to provide a variety of volunteer opportunities that suit many different people.”

Although club volunteers work well together as a whole, Darney said she hopes to encourage members to explore different avenues of volunteerism within the community.

“We’re trying to help our individual members adopt more of a leadership role so they’re the ones seeking out opportunities and coordinating volunteer projects that give back to others, but also interest them,” Darney said.

The club’s members have flexible commitments and are able to volunteer as much or as little as they like, Darney said.

Vandal Volunteers accept members year-round and meet at 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday outside the Center for Volunteerism and Social Action on the third floor of the Idaho Commons.

“The club is so versatile,” Magnus said. “Students are drawn to it for all different reasons –– they want to learn more about the community or to build a resume or to meet people ... regardless of the reason, it’s a club that really allows you to grow as an individual, because you can contribute to the community while becoming more connected with others.”

SAI has been in the Moscow-Pullman area for 53 years, said Susan Billin, SAI Alumnae Chapter vice president.

“The fraternity supports music in local, national and international communities,” Billin said. “The funds raised here go to our local philanthropies. We have a grant that is available to music and arts organizations.”

Billin said SAI has donated about 30 instruments to schools, and the funds raised at the musicale will go toward repairing the instruments. SAI has also helped provide music to the UI music library.

The musicale will feature a wide variety of performers, including a flute trio, a women’s chorus, vocal soloists, piano soloists and piano duets. Billin said one performer will even play a traditional Nicara-

of the bill and 54 opposed. The other two testimonies claimed neutrality on the bill.

After Thursday’s vote, Andrus attempted to reassure those in the audience who supported the bill.

“I think this hearing has brought us all a long, long way,” Andrus said. “I wish every employer, I wish every landlord could have heard your stories, and I think they will through this hearing. My heart goes out to you because of how you are living, the anxiety that you feel, and we will do something for you, take heart.”

Compromise’s arguement made them skeptical.

Steven Peterson, economics professor and member of the Idaho Tobacco Compromise, said the purpose of the presentation was to inform the senate about an alternative to a full tobacco ban.

He said he was under the impression the senate had endorsed the task force’s policy, but said the senate had only heard one side of the issue.

Joseph Cook, Idaho Tobacco Compromise member, said he believes most students are not thoroughly educated about the forthcoming proposals to alter UI’s tobacco policy.

He said he believes that if a mild change to the tobacco policy were voted for alongside the task force’s proposed ban, it would receive the majority’s favor.

When Peterson spoke to the senators, he repeatedly made use of an analogy comparing the proposed tobacco ban to America’s “war on drugs.” His analogy sparked many objections from senators who thought the comparison was not reasonable or accurate.

Sen. James Foster said he thought Peterson’s analogy was an “incredible stretch.” Foster criticized several other arguments against the ban made by the Idaho Tobacco Compromise, including the argument that secondhand smoke wasn’t a serious health risk. He said if the Idaho Tobacco Compromise’s presentation were one of his student’s assignments, he would give it a poor grade.

“This is an incredibly bad argument,” Foster said.

“Presenting this argument should be embarrassing to your cause.”

Peterson defended his use of the war on drugs analogy. He said the point of the analogy was to illustrate how previous drug prohibitions weren’t effective in reducing the use of those drugs, so the task force’s policy most likely wouldn’t reduce tobacco use at UI. Sen. Mark Miller had qualms about the comparison as well. In fact, he said there were multiple points in the presentation he doubted.

“I think some of this is scare tactic,” Miller said.

Miller said he thought Peterson’s prediction that UI classified staff would be fired for going off campus to take a smoke break during work hours served only to scare people.

Miller also discredited a comment from Peterson, who said UI personnel

of friends who had taken their own lives because of the discrimination they faced in Idaho.

Boise local Joseph Kibbe testified about one incident when he and a friend were walking near the Capitol Building and were assaulted because of their sexual orientation. He said “they bashed his head on a curb, and then against a dumpster.” He said his friend hung himself the following day.

Sen. Buckner-Webb provided closing remarks regarding the bill and related her experience of being discriminated because of the color of her skin.

“I know what it’s like to walk in fear and uncertainty,” Buckner-Webb said. “I know what it’s like to worry for the safety of my children, the people I love, for my own safety. Our friends, neighbors, family members of the LGBT

would have to walk one to two miles to reach off campus property. Miller said the UI campus is not that large and there would definitely not be a situation where someone would need to walk over a mile to get off campus.

Several other senators asked for staff representation in the Idaho Tobacco Compromise’s proposed ballot initiative idea. In the initial presentation — before the question and answer period — the Idaho Tobacco Compromise described how a vote through ASUI and UI faculty would work, but did not include a mention of staff. Peterson said Idaho Tobacco Compromise is interested in involving staff in the vote, but had not yet figured out a concrete plan to do so.

Sen. SeAnne Safaii, of the Coeur d’ Alene campus, said she believed a tobacco ban would set a good example to elementary, middle and high school students who are already subject to smoke free policies.

Safaii said UI has a responsibility to the community to set a healthy example, a point many senators agreed with.

“We have elementary schools, middle schools and high schools who are all smoke free,” Safaii said.

“We don’t see our teachers out smoking usually, and that’s because we’re modeling our behavior for the future generations.”

Despite objections to points in the Idaho Tobacco Compromise’s presentation, many senators expressed support for the group’s proposal to cast a vote between the two opposing policy ideas.

Peterson said he was pleased with Faculty Senate’s receptiveness of an alternate idea, and said the Idaho Tobacco Compromise will move forward by figuring out how to run a ballot initiative for students, staff and faculty.

According to Cook, a vote would not definitively decide the fate of UI’s tobacco policy, but instead give UI President Chuck Staben a better look at how the UI community feels about a tobacco ban.

Currently, Staben holds the final authority to approve any change to the policy, Cook said.

“Ultimately, all the action comes down to Staben,” Cook said. “So we’re trying to just kind of sway the constituents around, maybe get them on our side in order to maybe influence Staben.”

Opponents said the bill would infringe upon their religious freedom, and others said passing the bill would not change anything.

Wayne Hoffman, of the Idaho Freedom Foundation, said he thought passing the bill would “not have stomped out discrimination,” and the argument for adding the words should be reserved for the private sector.

Rep. Vito Barbieri, R-Dalton Gardens, said he felt the four words “take no concern of citizens holding personal religious conscience, genuine personal religious conscience.”

An estimate, provided

by Director of Architectural and Engineering Services Raymond Pankopf, placed the project around $265,000. ASUI is currently short $87,000. Fisher said the $2 increase would equate to approximately $96,000 after two years.

Fisher served on the Student Fee Committee, along with ASUI Director of Policy Tanner Beymer.

The pair was accompanied and advised by ASUI Vice President Sarah Vetsmany, ASUI President Pro Tempore Michael Ryan and ASUI Director of Finance Kailey Holt.

The committee heard from different entities and programs on campus that also wanted an increase in the their allocation of the funds derived from student fees.

The UI Marching Band, which draws 66 percent of its funding from student activity fees, requested a $2.25 increase — $6.25 to $8.50 — to accommodate operating expenses and an instrument replacement program.

The current Idaho Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin in regards to employment, education and public accommodation.

“That first year of working with students in the residence hall was really transformative time for me,” she said. “It was the most challenging, the most rewarding year that I ever had.”

She said there she found a passion for counseling students and helping them achieve their full potential, and at the end of the year she decided to switch her major and pursue a career in student affairs.

According to Assistant Vice Provost for Student Affairs Greg Tatham, a $7.50 fee increase, up from the current $41.87, is necessary to maintain the current staffing and services provided by Student Health Services.

Student Health Services is comprised of four major components: Student Health Insurance Program, Vandal Health Education and Nutrition Education, the Student Health Services Clinic and salary support for the UI psychiatrist and psychologist at the campus Counseling and Testing Center. Currently, student fees account for 67 percent of the Student Health Services budget.

According to Associate Director of Competitive and Recreational Sports Butch Fealy, when a recreational facility requires maintenance, the funds usually come out of campus recreation or intramural budgets — especially nonrevenue fields, such as the Arboretum, Guy Wick’s Field and the tennis courts.

Fealy requested a $5 fee increase, which equates to about $80,000 a year, to begin moving towards projects, such as lighting Guy Wick’s field or installing synthetic turf.

“My heart has been touched by this hearing,” Bateman said. “I know, from this point on, forever, I will be kinder and I will be more compassionate to those who bear this heavy burden.”

Add the Words Campaign Chair Cindy Gross said she was disappointed in the outcome, but did see some good come out of the hearings, regardless.

Kim said she chose to come to UI because of the enthusiastic students she met during her on-campus interview, as well as her adoration of the Moscow campus.

Director Joan Pulakos.

Currently, the CTC receives $16.36 in student activity fees, and Pulakos requested a $0.49 increase.

Currently, $127.96, or 20 percent of student fees, goes toward intercollegiate athletics. Associate Athletic Director for Compliance and Eligibility John Wallace said these fees are used toward team travel, game operations and equipment. He requested a $5 increase in full-time student activity fees, as well as an increase in parttime student activity fees from $3 to $3.50.

Rob Anderson, director of University Support Services, asked for a $3.06 increase in student fees for operation and revenue of the Kibbie Dome, Memorial Gym and UI Swim Center.

Anderson said without the additional funds from fees, USS — currently the largest student employer on campus — may have to decrease its student staff size.

The Office of Multicultural Affairs has requested a student fee increase of $0.16 to keep up with increases to health benefits rates and funding of a Change in Employee Compensation, estimated at 3 percent for FY2016.

Lysa Salsbury, director of the UI Women’s Center, asked for a $0.20 fee increase per full-time student. She said the money would cover a 3 percent increase in salary and benefits, which would align with

I D A H O

UI President Chuck Staben’s JFAC proposal earlier this week.

The total increase Salsbury is proposing for 2016 is $3,238, or 30 percent of the Women’s Center program budget. Without the increase, the Women’s Center, which supports 62 percent of the LGBTQA Office’s salary and benefits, would have to dip into its current program funding to pay all staff salaries.

The Student Fee Committee plans to discuss each proposal in the coming weeks.

Seahawks 35 — Patriots ...

Deflated It’s going to take more than some deflated footballs for Tom Brady and Stephan Wiebe Argonaut the Patriots to beat Seattle in the Super Bowl Sunday.

The Seahawks have too much momentum on their side, and after their win over the Packers, apparently they have luck on their side, too.

Korbin McDonald Argonaut

When Zach Cable called home to tell his parents he decided to attend the University of Idaho, his father could finally show his true colors — silver and gold.

“He started just belting out the (Idaho) fight song,” Cable said. “He was like ‘I never wanted to sway your interest or anything, but I always wanted you to be a Vandal.’”

The reaction shouldn’t be a surprise as Zach, who is a sophomore defensive end at Idaho, is the son of former Vandal, Tom Cable — who will coach in the Super Bowl this weekend as the Seattle Seahawks’ offensive line coach.

Not only did Tom Cable don Vandal colors in the mid-80s as an offensive guard for the football team, he also spent four seasons (2000-2003) as Idaho’s head coach.

“Coming back and coaching for your alma mater is a really special thing to do, I mean, he loved it,” Zach said of his father. “He tells me that Idaho is always going to be dear to his heart, and it’s even dearer now that I go here.”

After Tom bounced around to a few different coaching jobs in both college and the NFL, including a brief stint as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders, he found a home with the Seahawks.

When Zach took his initial visit to Moscow as a senior in high school, it was a return to a place he once called home.

“I had been talking to a couple of other (teams),” Cable said. “Then, when Idaho hired coach (Paul) Petrino, he called me and scheduled a visit. As soon as I got out here, nothing had changed, and I thought that was awesome.”

Staff predictions: who will win?

Seahawks 100 — Patriots 0 I sure hope this happens, especially after the gut-wrenching NFC Championship game Korbin against the Packers — I McDonald couldn’t handle it again.

Argonaut In reality, though, it’s probably going to be a low scoring affair, with the final score of something like, 13-5. But Tom Brady might as well have his torch lit and ready to pass it off to Russell Wilson and company, because this game will be the start of a new dynasty in the NFL. #GoHawks

The Patriots may Garrett Cabeza Argonaut lead at halftime, but the Seahawks are a proven second-half team. Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson will get rolling and do just enough to secure the win.

Vandals prepare for rematch

Despite slow start, Idaho still confident heading into home stretch

Joshua Gamez Argonaut

After a winless road trip where the Vandals gave up 13 3-pointers to Northern Colorado in a 72-50 loss Saturday, returning back to the friendly confines of the Cowan Spectrum might be what the Idaho women’s basketball team needs as it prepares for a rematch against Eastern Washington.

“It’s a nice time to be back obviously,” Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. “We practice, get some things straightened out hopefully and get ready to defend our home floor.”

Despite the tough losses over the weekend, the Vandals aren’t hanging their heads.

“It is good to know that even though we didn’t shoot as well as we could, we know we can,” sophomore guard Karlee Wilson said.

“If we shot as good as we can, we would’ve been right in that game.”

Idaho allowed 10 3s in the first half alone against Northern Colorado. Senior guard Stacey Barr, the Big Sky’s leading scorer, said this week’s practice is all about defense.

The Vandals attempt a 3-pointer during their Jan. 15 loss to Sacramento State in the Cowan Spectrum.

Idaho plays Eastern Washington for the second time this season Saturday in the Cowan. over the break, which hampered her on the court. With Barr struggling, the Vandals got a lift from junior 3-point specialist Christina Salvatore.

“It was nice to see her do it,”

Newlee said of Salvatore. “Now she has to do it consistently, and that is what I told her yesterday when we met.”

Salvatore, who is in the process of rewriting Idaho’s 3-point

record book, said she knew it was time for her to step up after talking with Newlee.

“Me and coach have talked about it a bunch,” Salvatore said.

“I am a junior now, I have started

almost every game I have played here and he kind of talked to me about stepping up and being more aggressive, staying positive and just being that leader when things aren’t going great.”

The struggles and slow starts the Vandals have endured this season are a far cry from last season, in which Idaho ran through the WAC en-route to regular season and conference tournament champions.

This year is much like two years ago, Newlee said, when the Vandals first came onto the scene, during the freshman season for Salvatore, Ali Forde and Connie Ballestero — three of Idaho’s starting five. That year, they had to fight just to get into the conference tournament, but the adversity they faced will hopefully help them prepare for the conference tournament again this season, Newlee said.

They are getting each team’s best effort every game and the team just has to play up to those expectations, Wilson said.

Spokane swimming success Idaho senior swimmer Rachel Millet is great swimmer, teammate

“There are days where I can literally see the wheels turning in her head as she’s processing information,” Idaho coach Mark Sowa said. “But also, there are days where I see her literally experimenting with her stroke and I’ll ask her, ‘OK, what are you doing here?’ And she’ll have an answer right away.”

Sowa said Millet is good at communicating one-on-one with teammates, but addressing a group of teammates at once isn’t her style.

“She’ll look for young athletes and young teammates who may be struggling,” Sowa said. “She’s very good at throwing a high-five when they need it, and patting them on the back when they need it, and occasionally some tough love when they need it. But it’s always, again, a very direct and thoughtful situation.”

Millet’s team-first mentality was displayed when she talked about one of her favorite swimming memories at Idaho — the 2013 WAC Championships in San Antonio.

Millet was a sophomore at that point and said the 2013 senior class had always struggled in the WAC Championships. Millet said she wanted to win the 200 individual medley, not for herself, but for her friend and senior teammate, Kelsie Saxe.

Millet said the swim team sings the Vandal fight song when an Idaho swimmer or diver is given a gold medal for an event she won.

“I wanted to win so that she could hear the fight song,”

When a student graduates high school, the decision about which path to choose is arguably the toughest choice they will ever make.

For Rachel Millet, her path almost veered her away from becoming a record breaking swimmer at Idaho.

The senior from Ferris High School in Spokane said she didn’t have her sights set on becoming a Vandal after high school and respectfully declined a spot on the Idaho swim team. She said instead, she wanted to attend a Catholic school and earn a degree in theology.

Millet said she and her family concluded a private school would be too expensive and her parents encouraged her to look at local colleges. She reconsidered Idaho, enjoyed her visit to the university and decided to go for it.

Millet, the 2014 WAC Swimmer of the Year, was born in Georgia and has lived in Alabama, Puyallup, Washington, Honolulu, Indianapolis and Spokane.

Since she joined the swim team in 2011, Millet has earned multiple awards and broken several school records including the 100yard freestyle, the 200 freestyle, the 200 individual medley and four relay teams.

In the end, Millet won the 200 individual medley, and Saxe heard the fight song.

According to Millet, one of her goals this season is to make it to the NCAA Championships, which begin March 19 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

“I’ve always wanted to make NCAAs,” Millet said. “Since my freshman year, since the first day of practice, that’s always been my ultimate goal. I would take NCAAs over going to the Olympic Trials any day … I have (NCAA) B qualifying times, but that really

doesn’t mean anything, because I’m not placed high enough.”

With home wins against WAC foes New Mexico State and Grand Canyon, Millet and the Vandals are 2-0 coming back from Christmas break.

Kelly Gufford will coach the Idaho divers in Colorado Springs.

“Oregon State’s a very wellcoached team,” Sowa said. “Coach (Larry) Liebowitz has been around for a long time and coaching kids at a very high level. They have one of the better distance swimmers in the country.”

After this weekend’s swim meets, Millet will have one more regular season meet and then the WAC Championships to get qualifying times for the NCAA Tournament.

Vandals out for revenge

Idaho seeks revenge in rematch against EWU

Men’s basketball

moving down. Eastern is one of three teams remaining with only one loss in conference competition. Montana and Sacramento State are the other two.

“It’s a big opportunity this week,” Idaho coach Don Verlin said. “Eastern is the best team in the league, and we got a chance to go up there and see what we can get done.”

With an average of 82.6 points per game, Eastern Washington enters the contest ranked No. 5 in the country in scoring. This could pose a problem to a Vandal defense ranked No. 322 in adjusted defense, allowing an average of 111.1 points per 100 possessions.

The Vandals use pack line defense, which Wiggs said is all about trust.

“It’s all about knowing that if you play pressure defense and your man gets by you, then you have your brother back there to back you up,” Wiggs said.

While it might allow more 3-point attempts, Wiggs said the defense is designed to stop opposing players from driving to

Following four consecutive defeats, the Idaho men’s basketball team ended its skid last Saturday with an 83-79 win over Northern Colorado.

The Vandals now turn their attention to Eastern Washington. EWU has already beat Idaho once this season, as the Eagles escaped Moscow with an 89-86 victory Jan. 10.

“They beat us here, so anytime you get a chance to get revenge on a team, you always try and take advantage of it,” Idaho sophomore guard Sekou Wiggs said.

“We already know that we can beat any team in this league … we have a lot of talent and if we can put that together and play with each other … then we can really get this thing rolling.”

Wiggs and his teammates will get their chance for revenge, 2 p.m.

Saturday in Cheney, Washington.

While the Vandals (8-10, 3-4 Big Sky) attempt to climb up the Big Sky standings, the Eagles (15-5, 6-1 Big Sky) will try to avoid

the basket.

“You do allow 3s, but statistics show that if you allow more layups than 3s, then you typically come away with more losses,” Wiggs said. “At the beginning of the season, it took some getting used to. We thought we were playing it right, but we weren’t. Now we’re sealing that gap quicker, so then they have more passes than shots.”

The Eagles’ Tyler Harvey could be the kryptonite to the pack line defense, though. The sophomore shooting guard currently leads the nation in scoring, averaging 24 points per game.

Idaho also has the ability to score. With an average of 77.2 points per game, the Vandals are the No. 25 ranked team in the country in that category.

Despite the scoring prowess, Verlin said he blames sloppy play on offense for the Vandals’ struggles on defense.

“Offensively, over the last three games, we haven’t taken care of the ball well enough and that’s hurt our defense tremendously,” Verlin said.

Jay Anderson | Argonaut

Senior point guard Mike Scott eyes his opponent while playing defense in the Vandals 89-80 loss against Eastern Washington Jan. 10 in the Cowan Spectrum. The Vandals play EWU again this Saturday.

Even though the team lost four of its last five games, Verlin believes the Vandals are one of the better teams in the conference.

“We still feel good about ourselves,” Verlin said. “There’s a lot of parity in this league … I really believe if we’re right and we can sustain our intensity, we can beat

anybody in the league, on any given night, wherever it’s played at, and I really believe that. And I think this team will eventually do that. I just hope it’s sooner rather than later.”

@Vandalnation Tweets of the Week

Zach lived with his father while he was the Vandals’ head coach. He said he still remembers running around the Kibbie Dome halls as a child.

As the son of a coach, Zach said he got used to all of the moving while he was growing up and it became second nature to him.

“Moving away from friends, that was hard, but it still never really bothered me,” Zach said. “After staying in a place for two years, I would kind of wonder, ‘Hey we’ve been here for two years, how come we haven’t moved yet?’ I was always waiting for the success to come somewhere else if it wasn’t at the place we were at.”

If moving was tough at one point, Zach said the perks of having a NFL coach as a father made up for it.

Zach said he not only gets the sideline gear the players and coaches wear, he was also able to meet his childhood hero, former Raiders’ quarterback Rich Gannon.

“He’s probably the best quarterback in my eyes, ever,” Zach said. “Meeting a childhood hero like that, having opportu-

@KidColes_7 I am proud to announce that I have officially committed to the University of Idaho #Vandals #blessed — Kareem Coles Jr., a high school quarterback from San Diego, California, announced his commitment to the Vandals.

Another perk has been his ability to learn from the pros, he said.

Zach said he’s been able to get advice from fellow defensive lineman Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril — both are current members of the Seahawks.

Even with his father’s busy schedule, Zach said their relationship is closer than it has ever been.

“As soon as I became 16, 17, that’s truly when it became a friend relationship,” he said. “I call him everyday, talk to him on the phone everyday. It’s like we’re best buddies.”

Despite growing up as a Raider fan, Zach said he switched his allegiance to the Seahawks and will be at the game Sunday, cheering his hardest.

As for his predictions, he believes the Seahawks will come away with their second straight Super Bowl victory.

“I told everybody last year, I didn’t say it was going to be a blowout, but I said we’re going to win,” he said of last year’s Super Bowl — a game he attended and watched as the Seahawks throttled the Broncos. “Everybody is kind of saying the same thing this year … if Marshawn (Lynch) gets 25, 30 carries, we win.”

same thing. If it wasn’t for Paul Allen buying the team in 1997, it could very well be the California Seahawks — or some other name — playing in the Super Bowl this year.

About 10 years later, the luck ran out and the Sonics left and I’m still not over it.

It was tough sometimes to grow up as a Seattle sports fan, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It makes me appreciative of all the great moments, like what this year’s Seahawks team

has been able to do.

If you’re a new fan, welcome aboard, but please stay humble and don’t become one of those arrogant fans, because while the Seahawks’ future looks good now, I know all too well how quickly it can change.

Soak it all in Sunday. Root your hardest, and as always — Go Hawks.

The players and coaches have continuously said they knew there was a target on their back coming into the season.

The adversity could be looked at as a motivating factor, and could be good for the team in the long run, Newlee said. They have played in plenty of big games, so he said they are ready for it.

“I think it is a motivating factor, I don’t think they are nervous,” he said. “They have been through a lot of big games in the last two years. I think they understand what it takes to be a championship team … I think it motivates them.”

Moscow moves on Arby’s opening could help Moscow move on from tragedy Stop by the Moscow Arby’s if you’re looking for a place to eat this weekend.

Small gestures can go a long way, and even stopping in for a sandwich and curly fries at the Moscow Arby’s can show support for the restaurant — the site of a tragedy.

Arby’s, located on the Moscow-Pullman highway, reopened Monday with little fanfare after being closed for more than two weeks due to a tragic shooting that left three dead and one injured.

The Arby’s staff lost one

of their own, beloved Manager Belinda Niebuhr in the shooting. Belinda’s picture now hangs in the restaurant and her apron is framed.

This restaurant has been through a lot in the past two weeks, and it deserves the community’s support in moving on from this tragedy.

Although memories of the victims are still present, moving on from these horrible tragedies is a major part of the grieving process.

The return to a sense of normalcy is how communities heal and how those who were directly affected by the tragedy find peace.

This is also how communities show the perpetrators

of these horrible crimes that their actions cannot diminish the spirit of Moscow, and the residents of the city seem determined to exemplify this. This is an opportunity to move forward and to continue to make Moscow a better place to live.

Far too often scenes of tragedy are demolished as communities attempt to move on. The physical structure acts as a constant reminder of a horrible memory. Sandy Hook Elementary and the library at Columbine High School are both examples of structures demolished in the wake of a mass shooting.

Instead of viewing the res-

taurant as a scene of a tragic shooting, Moscow should view it as a symbol of unity and resilience within our community. This is an opportunity to show the strength of Moscow residents and their ability to move forward.

There seems to be an Arby’s in every town, but this one is ours. And now, the restaurant has become associated with the tragic history of mass shootings in Moscow. However, the restaurant’s memory can mean much more.

It can represent Moscow’s ability move forward to a better future.
