Know your government Leading in style Amber Emery Argonaut

ASUI President Max Cowan isn’t one of the most difficult people to recognize on campus. But he’s also one of the most approachable people according to co-workers and fellow students. Accompanying his thicksoled Dr. Martens boots, nose ring and tucked in button-down shirt, is always a warm smile.

Cowan, a double major in chemistry and international studies has been involved with ASUI since his first year at the University of Idaho and said he has enjoyed working up to his current leadership position.

“After serving two terms as an ASUI senator, I decided that I wanted to take the next step,” Cowan said. “I felt that I had the skills that I needed and that I was qualified to do the work of the ASUI president.”

Director of Student Involvement Colleen Quinn said that she has watched Cowan try new things the past year that are going to have a lasting effect on ASUI and the university as a whole.

“He is not afraid of asking tough questions or rise up to a challenge,” Quinn said. “And I think that is really powerful in a student leader.” Cowan said he spent his summer transitioning into the role of president by traveling to Washington DC to represent UI students in federal financial aid debates.

“Having to worry about the cost of higher education and how you are going to pay for it, is a real impediment to student success,” Cowan said.

“Making sure that students are able to attend the University of Idaho is something I am passionate about voicing, this upcoming year.”

When he is not on the frontline fighting for the representation of students, Cowan is going to classes, doing homework and working a part-time job.

Every full time student at the University of Idaho is a member of the Associated Students of the University of Idaho, because of the student fees they pay that comprise the organization’s budget.

The members of the executive branch of ASUI meet weekly to discuss the ways that budget is used and ways that student life is can be improved by their actions.

Run much like a state or national government ASUI is comprised of

several branches including a senate and an executive branch.

Colleen Quinn, director of student involvement, advises Max Cowan, ASUI president, and his vice-president, Taylor Williams, and the executive branch of ASUI. Quinn meets with Cowan and Williams frequently, but she also has a lot of drop-in meetings with members of ASUI, including the senate. She said she frequently meets with senators when they are starting new projects.

Quinn said there are more than 200 student organizations at UI that are

recognized by ASUI. She said what is generally thought of as the ASUI office is actually space for other organizations too.

Understanding ASUI

ASUI is made up an executive and legislative branch. The executive branch includes Cowan and Williams, and their cabinet is made up of directors who oversee specific issues such as diversity affairs. There are also 10 executive boards.

Fundraising campaign moves forward

Police Log

UI reaches almost 81 percent of total $225 million goal

Friday, August 23

Ryan Tarinelli Argonaut

Coming from a small farm town in Idaho, Seth Pratt has been in and out of college since 2007. However, with help from the University of Idaho’s Inspiring Futures campaign, he is on his way to graduate with a dual degree in agriculture science — communication and leadership, and agriculture economics.

“It frees up time for me to devote to more studies, rather than working to financially support myself, and it frees up other resources that I can use to help my education,” Pratt said.

With 18 months left, UI’s Inspiring Futures campaign has raised 86.05 percent of its $225 million fundraising goal.

“We have such a strong alumni base, we have such a strong group of folks that love their experience at the university, and they have been very generous,” Chris Murray, vice president of university advancement said.

Murray said funds are donated into four main categories: students, faculty, programs and facilities.

Sixty two million dollars has been raised for student scholarships, along with $50.5 million for endowed faculty support and research. Another $30.5 million will help renovate and rebuild facilities on campus such as the Kibbie Dome and College of Education, Murray said.

Another $50.5 million has been raised for programs at UI such as the McClure Center for Public Policy, and Operation Education, a program that gives support to veterans at UI, Murray said.

“Programs that are making a difference every day for students, and for the state of Idaho,” Murray said.

The campaign was split into four sections to fund the student experience as a whole after consulting with college deans and faculty, Murray said.

“We went to all the different units on campus and we posed a question. ‘Where would funds make the biggest difference for you?’” Murray said. “How do you take the college of business from where you are today, to where you want to be. How to do you

make the student experience at college of engineering better.”

With 18 months left in the campaign, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Education, the College of Natural Resources and the College of Science have all surpassed their fundraising goal.

The College of Art and Architecture, Business and Economics, Engineering, Law and Letters Arts and Social Sciences, are all within 25 percent of reaching their goal.

Even with the economic recession, Murray said he is confident UI can reach its fundraising goals.

“Shortly after we launched our campaign we went into the largest recession that the country has seen in quite a while, and so that was, that made some of us nervous,” Murray said. “But we have such a strong alumni base, we have such a strong group of folks that love their experience at the university, and they have been very generous.”

Coconut macaroons 6 tablespoons flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 egg whites 1 teaspoon almond extract

Aleya Ericson Crumbs

This recipe allows me to satisfy my coconut cravings. It’s simple yet a little tricky because coconut is easy to burn while cooking. It is important to monitor constantly while baking. To avoid burning macaroons, I put them in muffin tins to make them bigger. This also helps prevent the cookies from burning.

Directions Mix coconut, sugar, flour and salt in a large bowl.

Mix in egg whites and almond extract until well blended. Drop mixture to greased cookie sheets or muffin pan. Bake at 325 degrees fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Ingredients 1 package (14 ounces) of sweetened coconut flakes 2/3 cup sugar

“There’s a vice president or someone through whom the president works, and for that reason I think on the internal side of the job the president isn’t quite as visible because there’s always one other person between the president and the particular task,” Burnett said.

Burnett said on the external side of the job, his role is more direct.

“The president is expected to maintain relations with donors to the university including playing a role in the successful completion of our Capital Campaign.” Burnett said. “There’s a public policy aspect of the job which includes working with the legislature, working with the state board of education which is also the board of regents.”

Burnett said the president also

has a public communication role, which includes letting alumni, friends of UI and the general public know what is happening in the university.

After the presidency

Burnett isn’t yet sure what he plans to do once the presidency has been permanently filled, but said it will likely have something to do with law which is where is interests mainly lie. He said he could return to the law school faculty, but is also interest in playing a role in the development of the Idaho Law Learning Center.

“There are a number of issues relating to my discipline — law,” Burnett said. “Helping the public understand the actual operation of our legal system, which isn’t always accurate with the cases that are newsworthy. I think this

is a crying need of our society and it may be that when I set aside the duties of my current job I can invest more time in that.”

Burnett said as an Idaho native he also plans to spend much of his free time in the outdoors once he has the time do so.

Whatever Burnett’s path is once he finishes his time in the president’s office, he said the family debt he owes is one he’ll always remember.

“Whatever my parents became they said they owed to the University of Idaho. And whatever my brother and I became we owed to our parents and therefore also owe to the University of Idaho,” Burnett said. “I’m on board for whatever the university needs from me.”

A helping hand Incoming students serve their new community at annual service day Andrew Jenson Argonaut

University of Idaho faculty and students once again donned their green work shirts and committed themselves to a day of charity and service for their community Saturday as part of Serving Your New Community — annual service project sponsored by the ASUI Volunteer Center.

Students who participated in SYNC assisted in landscaping, interior work and general clean up jobs at 29 different locations — including the 1912 Center, Moscow Farmers Market, Goodwill, First Presbyterian Church,

Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute and Moscow Community Garden.

This year, more than 600 students participated in the service project. Summer Coordinator Kelly McKanna said the turn out was higher than she anticipated.

“We had over 600 spots, and we ran out of (assignment) cards,” McKanna said. “That’s an awesome turnout.”

After congregating at Theophilus Tower at 9 a.m., the students divided into groups and serviced their assigned locations for approximately three hours. With jobs like pulling weeds, painting or even stocking bookshelves, par-

ticipants were kept busy.

Thomas Leo, a sophomore who helped out at Moscow Community Garden, said he enjoyed the experience and looks forward to doing more community service with the Volunteer Center.

“It was awesome,” Leo said.

“I got to meet all kinds of neat people, share their experiences, where they came from and help out with the community too. It’s a good experience.”

Freshmen Kody Brock and Ryan Piper also assisted at the community garden. Piper said everyone worked well together and even managed to get their work finished early.

Freshman Meghann Hester said the same of her group after returning from her service location at Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute.

“It was really fun,” Hester said. “I love doing community service. I always love it when I’m (able) to help someone.”

Though the event was a success, McKanna said SYNC was not the easiest thing to coordinate. “(Coordinating was) insane, but it was so great,” McKanna said. “You learn a lot. It’s really neat communicating with the community partners.”

McKanna said that the com-

munity and the university were awesome for being so helpful with this project.

McKanna has been with the Department of Student Involvement for two years. Starting this year, she said she will be a student involvement coordinator for leadership programs, which will allow her to work with other student organizations.

SYNC occurs annually as part of New Student Orientation on the Saturday before the first day of the fall semester. This year showcased the fourth SYNC event.

Nine girls, nine stories Emily Vaartstra Argonaut

The critically acclaimed documentary film “Girl Rising” is coming to Moscow, courtesy of the University of Idaho Women’s Center and other campus and community organizations.

The film, which features the stories of nine girls from nine countries around the world, will play at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 3, at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in Moscow.

The event is part of the annual City of Moscow’s Inclusive Communities Week 2013, said Lysa Salsbury, Women’s Center director.

Last year’s theme of the week focused on immigration, while this year the week is centered around gender equality.

“The money raised from selling tickets goes to an organization called 10x10, which is a global action campaign to help fund initiatives around the world that raise money to educate girls and young women,” Salsbury said.

In October 2012, the story of Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani schoolgirl who survived an attempted assassination by the Taliban while standing up for her right to have an education spread around the world.

Since then, organizations such as 10x10 have been committed to making a difference for gender equality when it comes to education, and part of that has been invested in the making of “Girl Rising.”

In the film, nine renowned actresses narrate the stories of nine girls from Afghanistan, Haiti, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Peru, Egypt, Nepal, India and Cambodia. “’Girl Rising’ is a powerful film being distributed nationwide about the value of education for girls,” Colleen Kulesza, interim program coordinator at the Women’s Center, said. “It addresses the stories of nine girls in nine different countries and how education changed their lives.”

Research shows that education makes a significant difference in a girl’s life no matter the country, Kulesza said. Educated girls and young women stay in school longer, make better money, have children later in life and get married later in life.

“So many women in this world are not educated; they don’t get to finish school,”

she said. “Boys go to school more often than girls, all over the world, and it’s a huge inequity. Only 70 percent of the world’s women are literate.”

Salsbury said the film aligns perfectly with the Women’s Center’s mission to promote, educate and advocate for gender equality.

“I also think it is really timely because as our new and returning students are coming back to school and starting a brand new journey of learning and discovery. I think it’s really important for them to hear about the lives of girls and women who live in countries where education is not a priority, and where their struggle for basic education is much tougher than the ready access that we in the developing world already have to education,” she said. “I think it will really strike a chord with students and maybe help them to better appreciate the opportunity that they are being given to have a higher education and maybe inspire them to get involved in different ways to help promote women’s education around the world.”

The film features narrations from Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Kerry Washington, Liam Neeson, Cate Blanchett, Priyanka Chopra, Salma Hayek, Chloë Grace Moretz, Selena Gomez, Freida Pinto and Alicia Keys.

General admission to the event is $10.

Admission for seniors and students with a valid ID is $3. To purchase tickets in advance with a credit card, visit http:// gathr.us/screening/4510. Tickets will also be available for purchase by cash or check only at the door.

“Girl Rising” is on a limited distribution track through an organization called Gathr.

Inclusive Communities Week 2013 events are co-sponsored by the University of Idaho Women’s Center, LGBTQA Office, Office of Human Rights, Access, & Inclusion, and the Martin Institute.

The Latah County Human Rights Task Force, the City of Moscow’s Human Rights Commission, Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse and the Purple Paisley Quilters of the Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse are also sponsors of the event.

Silver, gold, Friday and free stuff Kaitlin Moroney Argonaut

Getting back in the spirit of Vandal Pride is something the University of Idaho emphasizes at the beginning of every academic year. This year, UI hosted it’s first Vandal Spirit Friday last week at the Eastside Marketplace.

Vandal coaches and athletes, students, alumni and community members celebrated Vandal spirit with live music, food and free entertainment.

Though the celebration won’t be quite as big in the coming weeks, Vandal Spirit Fridays is a campus-wide weekly show of Vandal Pride. Students, staff, faculty, alumni and anyone else who considers themselves a Vandal are encouraged to show it, according to Patty Carscallen, VandalStore marketing manager.

“Vandal Spirit Friday is really about being a vandal and how unique being a vandal is an opportunity to show your vandal pride every Friday,” Carscallen said.

The tradition, which started with former UI president M. Duane Nellis, is a way to encourage team and university spirit, she said.

“Wear your vandal gear, vandal colors or whatever that might look like for you,” Carscallen said.

In addition to being a community-building event, Vandal Spirit Fridays also has different campus organizations that particpate, offering students free food or special deals.

“For the VandalStore, we have a special deal every Friday for Vandal Spirit Friday,” Carscallen said. “It’s like a deal of the day.”

According to the Vandal Spirit Friday page on the UI website, campus dining offers students free cookies at any Vandal Dining locations.

“Vandal Spirit Fridays is for all Vandals. Anybody that calls themselves a Vandal,” Carscallen said.

Involvement at your fingertips Online program OrgSync allows students to communicate with campus clubs and organizations Amber Emery Argonaut

The University of Idaho Department of Student Involvement encourages students to join OrgSync, an online platform that enables organizations to connect with their members and other groups within the community.

Denise Carl, coordinator for student engagement programs described the program as similar to social media sites where the goal is to bring users together in an organized fashion.

“It’s kind of the gateway for all of our 200 organizations on campus,” Carl said. “It is similar to joining Facebook, you make a profile and follow the groups that you are interested in.”

Carl said UI made the switch to OrgSync three years ago with the goal of boosting student involvement and creating a line of communication between all of the organizations.

volunteer opportunities.

Alternative Service Break Coordinator Maggy Hand said that the capabilities of OrgSync have been recognized by volunteer organizations off campus as an efficient way to get in contact with UI students.

“Not only do we have opportunities at the Volunteer Center, but we also have opportunities to help out in the community,” Hand said.

“Let’s say Habitat for Humanity has an event going on, they too, have a page on OrgSync and when they post that event, all of the students with an account get to see that information.”

Despite the ways OrgSync can be useful for students, Carl said some students have had a hard time integrating OrgSync into their organizations.

“One of the common things I hear is ‘I can just do this on Facebook’ or ‘I can do the same thing with Google Docs,’ but I think what OrgSync is good for, is that

Carl said that Department of Student Involvement is offering support to students, faculty and staff this semester to create a more concrete presence of OrgSync at UI. “We’re here to help, OrgSync officials are coming to campus to do onsite training on Thursday, Sept. 5.” Carl said. “If organizations send three members to one of the training sessions, they will get $75 for their organization.”

Room for health ed Student Recreation Center opens new Health Education Room for students Kaitlyn Krasselt Argonaut

The University of Idaho Student Recreation Center is now home to a Health Education Resource Room — filling a void that existed in health education at UI, Student Health Program Coordinator Shannon Haselhuhn said.

“It’s an extension of student health services on campus. Obviously, with student health we have the Student Health Center, the counseling center, our dietitian, psychiatrist and then we have health education,” Haselhuhn said. “And so to better provide outreach we have created a health education resource room.”

Located in what used to be Vandal Massage, Haselhuhn said there are no set hours but the plan is to have the door open as much as possible between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

“Students can stop by ask questions, get information,” Haselhuhn said.

“RA’s can do the same, Greek houses and certainly staff and faculty are welcome as well.”

The room contains resources from throughout the Moscow community and departments on campus.

“Many of the health providers in the community — dentists, eye clinics, different doctors offices, dif-

ferent services, alternatives to violence of the Palouse, Planned Parenthood, Wish Medical — we’ve collected information from all of their facilities as well as resources on campus,” Haselhuhn said.

The room will be staffed by four student interns who have undergone a certification process to become peer health educators. The student interns are seniors in the exercise-science program at UI. “Other campuses have them and have had success with them,” Haselhuhn said.

“We’ve had a lot of student interest in helping out with health education in the last year. We wanted to find a space for them to be able to participate in health education and get a great professional experience at the same time.”

Haselhuhn said there may be dates the room is closed, but for the most part she said the interns will be there throughout the normal work day.

“I just encourage students to stop by and see what’s available to them and not hesitate to stop by and ask a question. I think it’s a very inviting environment with students in there,” Haselhuhn said.

Samantha Hansen is entering her second year as the director of diversity affairs for ASUI, and said she believes this will be to her advantage because she already has a network built up and does not have to go through a transition period like a new officer would.

Hansen said her position fulfills ASUI’s mission statement to serve students best interests and enrich their experiences. She said she serves as an advocate for the in-

terests of all students because she believes individuality is diverse.

Williams said her job involves overseeing the legislative branch, ASUI Senate, and undertaking projects that will benefit students.

She said her likely first projects will concern student financial aid and parking.

Williams, an ASUI veteran, said she is getting into the swing of things in her new position. She says it differs from the other positions she’s held, one as student coordinator for graphic design for student involvement, and the

head of the Vandal Entertainment Board. She said she oversees the senate, but has not previously served as a senator, and she believes this gives her a new perspective on how to go about senate business.

The senate is made up of 15 senators. Elections are staggered so there is never a senate without experienced senators.

Cowan said the transition from the previous administration is going well. All of the executive board director and cabinet positions were filled in the

Murray said fundraising campaigns have two stages, a silent stage where administrators organize the campaign and talk to big donors, and a public stage where they promote the campaign. He said the campaign went public April of 2011 to make sure they were on track to make their goal with three and a half years left.

Many students, like Pratt, receive scholarships from specific alumni through the campaign. He said knowing who is helping him pay for college motivates him to succeed in his studies.

“It makes the scholarship recipient feel more accountable to succeed in school, because they know the people who are helping them afford it, and that provides some accountability. That’s important I think,” Pratt said.

“Over the summer, I worked delivering newspapers,” Cowan said. “I would wake up at 4 a.m. and spend a few hours with that job before I would come into the office.” Cowan is also a member of Moscow Undergraduate Mock Trial — a club that prepares a legal case and competes against other schools.

Clare Haley, Cowan’s close friend and member of the club, said Cowan has a gift for one specific role.

He said board members are being hired this semester, with the exception of Vandal Entertainment which completed hiring in the spring.

“Max is super funny and fun to hang out with, and he really loves to share, sharing is probably one his best traits,” Haley said. “It’s nice to work with someone who is so easy to talk to.”

Cowan said that even though he is busy carrying out his responsibilities, he still manages to find time to do the things that he enjoys. Cowan’s hobbies include cooking, hiking, graphic design, volunteering for the Women’s Center and attending as

Cowan said new freshmen are welcome to apply.

“First year students are welcome to apply for board chair positions. The wonderful thing about ASUI is that we are student run and we want students to be involved,” Cowan said. “You don’t necessarily have to have experience it is more about your work ethic and your ability to show that you have new ideas.”

Despite his full schedule, Cowan said what he is really looking forward to this year is connecting with more UI students.

ASUI Vice President Taylor Williams said that Cowan’s ability to relate and listen to students is unparalleled by anyone else in the ASUI office.

“His office is open,” she said, “To anyone and everyone. And if you ever have a question, or there’s something you’re passionate about, or want to start at UI, or anything… feel free to always come up to his office.”

Start of a new era

Vandal football heads to North Texas for season opener Sean Kramer Argonaut

Saturday will make a milestone in Idaho coach Paul Petrino’s life, the first time he will lead a football team out onto the field for a game as a head coach, a moment he said he’s been preparing for all 46 of his years.

But don’t expect there to be a moment of awe or sudden realization of ‘this is it, I’m a head coach’ before the game.

“Hopefully it’s right after the game I say, ‘this is it, the first win,’” Petrino said. “I think since I was a little kid as a head coach and half the time …

I thought myself a head coach when I was an assistant coach.

So, I don’t think it will be a huge deal.”

Idaho’s season opener at North Texas is simply another step in the process for Petrino.

Game preparation has been going on for at least a week already, but this week officially marks gameweek, and just more of the game for Idaho – business.

Idaho will spend Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at practice before flying out to Denton, Texas, on Friday. Kickoff on Saturday will be 4 p.m.

“It’s all about execution,” Petrino said. “Really watching tape on them, watching tape on ourselves and really understanding every last little detail of every play, going out there and executing them.”

The question on everybody’s mind is who the starting quarterback for Idaho will be, which Petrino is playing close to the vest. Smart money may be on redshirt freshman Chad Chalich, who had the majority of the snaps with the first team offense during last Friday’s mock game at the Kibbie Dome. He also took the majority of the snaps during the scrimmage on Aug. 17, clearly outplaying competitors Taylor Davis and Josh McCain.

“I think as anyone who comes to watch practice sees who has a good chance,” Petrino said.

Creating turnovers a priority for Lee

Going into the final week of game preparation before the season opener with the new coaching staff Lee said he’s looking for the depth to work itself out.

“The biggest thing we’re trying to do is continue to create chemistry from the front end to the back, and doing that is developing depth as well, because the scheme is going to fit the players, not the other way around,” he said.

Idaho fans will get their first taste of the new defensive scheme on Saturday, a scheme that Idaho hopes will improve on last year’s defensive unit that ranked No. 110 in the country last season in total defense allowing opponents to gain 6.6 yards-per-play, and No. 95 in the country in third down defense allowing opponents to convert 44.44 percent of the time on Idaho’s third-down defense.

“I’m going to watch the tape today and that’s going to tell me who. You can tell by body language, you can tell by obviously the easy part you can tell by making plays so that’s what I’m looking forward to watching this film and making the two-deep known,” Lee said.

The Vandal football team participated in a mock gameFriday. Progressing through the game, the offense showed balance, power, and productivity. Chalich, a redshirt freshman from Coeur d’Alene, continued to show Chad Chalich he is starter material. Running with the first team offense, Chalich accounted for 325 passing yards on 17of-20 passing and five touchdowns. His hard work, combined with the rest of the offense earned praise from coach Paul Petrino. “We did some nice things today,” Petrino said. This is after the offense put up more than 700 yards for the second scrimmage in a row.

Slow start Women’s soccer starts 0-2 for first time since 2009 Rick Clark Argonaut

This weekend marked the start of the longest road-trip of the season for the Idaho soccer team. The Vandals play five games on the road before returning home for a match against Eastern Washington on Friday, Sept. 13.

The road to the first home match isn’t an easy one. The Vandals started by playing two matches of their five-game road trip this weekend.

They started their road trip Friday in Ogden, Utah, where they played Weber State. The game was supposed to start at 2 p.m. but was delayed 30 minutes due to a lightning storm. When the game started, it turned into a game that the Vandals soon wanted to forget.

Although Idaho came out more aggressive in the second half, it could not get any offensive momentum.

“Unfortunately for us, I think lightning struck more than once today,” Idaho coach Pete Showler said.

“We knew we would take some lumps and bumps early on, playing some tough games and we found that out today. We will learn from our mistakes

The Vandal lost 2-0. and move on to next game.

We just need to take care of what we can control.”

Moving on from the performance, the second game was played on Sunday. The team traveled from Ogden up to Pocatello, Idaho, where they played the Idaho State Bengals.

Both teams came out aggressive, but Idaho State was the one to capitalize

on the physical play. After scoring a goal near the 39th minute, the Bengals came back two minutes later and scored again by deflecting the ball off Vandal defender Amanda Pease.

After halftime, the physicality of play picked up with both teams hitting the double-digit mark in fouls.

Three Idaho State players also were awarded yellow cards in the half. Despite the

physical play, the Vandals couldn’t comeback from being down and lost 2-0.

Even with the loss, coach Showler saw big improvement from Friday.

“The difference between today’s game and Friday’s is night and day,” Showler said. “I mean, the girls stepped on the pitch and we executed how we needed to. It’s disappointing to lose two-nil and those two goals

In addition to her post-collegiate success, Whyte enjoyed immense success as a Vandal hurdler. Some of her collegiate accolades include four-time NCAA All-American and five-time Big West champion.

While Whyte has enjoyed success as a hurdler, she would rather be remembered as someone that proved anything is possible.

“They like knowing that their coach has accomplished quite a bit in her career on the world stage but I think more important than that is for them to know what’s possible,” Whyte said of the Vandal athletes she coaches.

“I wasn’t this amazing high school hurdler … I wasn’t heavily recruited. It was my sacrifice, and my determination and a love for what I do that has really propelled me to that level.”

Although she’s getting older for a sprinter, Whyte’s 2013 success on the world stage show that she still has something left in

the tank. She said she takes everything year-by-year but would like to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics if possible. It would be her third Olympic games.

Whenever Whyte does stop competing, there is no doubt she will be missed by many.

Phipps said Whyte was not only named captain of the Canadian team during the championship in Moscow, but he also got to see how much respect other world class athletes and coaches have for her.

“People really have this admiration and respect for her, I was almost as proud of that as her performance.” Phipps said. “It’s not surprising but when you see it firsthand-- it’s a really neat thing.”

Taking notice of Idaho’s conference crown and NCAA Tournament berth — in addition to a young roster that returns all five starters — were organizers of the Women’s NIT Preseason Tournament, who dished out a rare invite to Newlee’s squad.

“What the director told me is they were looking for up and coming teams, younger teams with a lot of people back,” Newlee said, who will be representing the WAC and the Big Sky at the tournament. “They base it off of what you do the previous year but also if you’re going to have those people back.

Idaho will face a familiar foe in the first round of the tournament when it visits Gonzaga. Though the Vandals hold a 19-14 series lead against the Bulldogs, Gonzaga has walloped Idaho in the teams’ recent meetings, includ8 ing the most recent, a 97-62 Vandal loss last season.

In 2012, a slew of rookie quarterbacks burst onto the scene — ­­ Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick. Quarterback sensation Cam Newton stormed through a productive rookie year in 2011.

There are no longer a select few of veteran quarterbacks who dominate the league on the fantasy football stage.

Consider Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. He probably won’t come off the boards until the late rounds as a backup but there is little doubt he’ll produce consistently good results.

The same can’t be said for the running back and wide receiver positions. A late round running back is a toss up player who might not even see the field in certain games.

So next time you’re getting hammered by your co-worker’s team in the office money league, remember that you could have passed up on Tom Brady to snag that second great starting running back and drafted the perfectly capable Andrew Luck in a later round. The playoff hopes and bragging rights will be worth it.

Dickey gets win, Blue Jays beat Yankees Ian Harrison Associated Press

R.A. Dickey pitched into the seventh inning, Jose Reyes sparked Toronto’s offense and the Blue Jays snapped a 10-game losing streak against the New York Yankees with a 5-2 victory on Monday night.

Alex Rodriguez hit his 650th home run, a leadoff drive in the fifth, but the Yankees lost for the ninth time in 13 road games this month. Rodriguez is 10 homers away from tying Willie Mays for fourth on the career list, which would secure a $6 million bonus for the third baseman.

Derek Jeter went hitless in his return to New York’s lineup. Jeter, who started at shortstop and batted second, finished 0 for 3 with a walk, grounding into a double play in the third.

Reyes walked and scored in the third, and doubled and scored in Toronto’s three-run fifth as the Blue Jays beat the Yankees for just the second time in 14 meetings this season. Toronto had lost 10 straight to its division rival since an 8-4 home win on April 21.

Dickey (10-12) allowed two runs, one earned, and six hits in 6 1-3 innings to win for the first time since

Aug. 5 at Seattle. The knuckleballer was 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in his three previous starts.

It was Dickey’s first victory over the Yankees since May 21, 2011, when he played for the New York Mets.

Rodriguez’s home run was the 29th allowed

by Dickey this season, second only to Oakland’s A.J. Griffin. Dickey has given up 20 homers in 14 home starts.

Aaron Loup worked 1 1-3 innings, Sergio Santos got one out in the eighth and Casey Janssen finished for his 24th save in 26 chances.

New York right-hander Phil Hughes (4-13) allowed five runs, four earned, and seven hits in 4 2-3 innings. He is 0-6 with a 5.84 ERA in his last nine starts.

New York scratched out a run in the first when Brett Gardner singled, went to second on a passed ball, took third on Jeter’s grounder and scored when Dickey couldn’t handle Robinson Cano’s comebacker.

The Blue Jays tied it in the second on an RBI single by Kevin Pillar, and then took the lead on Edwin Encarnacion’s RBI single in the third.

Rodriguez connected in the fifth, but Toronto responded with three in the bottom half, taking advantage of a rare error by Ichiro Suzuki.

Reyes hit a one-out double, Ryan Goins singled and Reyes scored when Suzuki couldn’t handle Encarnacion’s fly to deep right, with the ball hitting off the heel of his glove.

Adam Lind followed with an RBI double and Brett Lawrie was intentionally walked to load the bases for Moises Sierra, who chased Hughes with a sacrifice fly. David Huff came on and fanned Josh Thole on three pitches.

NOTES: Blue Jays OF Colby Rasmus (strained left oblique) is still feeling soreness and was unable to resume baseball activities as previously scheduled, manager John Gibbons said. Rasmus has been out since Aug. 12. ... Toronto reinstated Loup from the paternity list and designated RHP Chien-Ming Wang for assignment. ... Blue Jays Triple-A C Sean Ochinko was suspended 50 games after testing positive for amphetamines. ... Musician Paul Simon attended the game.

college transfers anchor the linebacking core which has been together all through the spring and now fall camp. The group is headlined by Marc Millan, the junior who lines up at the line of scrimmage and is used in creative ways to get after the quarterback.

“That’s my specialty, that’s my bread and butter, rushing the passer is what I was raised to do. Setting the edge.”

Millan said.

In front of them is a defensive line unit which lost only two of its rotation members from last season, one of them to the offensive line. Anchored by Bradley and Maxx Forde and bolstered with the return of QuayShawne Buckley, the line shows athleticism and ability to get after the passer.

from senior James Baker, who rushed for 85 yards. Through fall camp, Montgomery, a true freshman hailing from Jacksonville, Fla., has showed strong running ability and continues to prove to coaches that he deserves to get many touches when the season gets underway.

Expect the backfield to do good things this season.

Maxx Forde and Ryan Edwards — Football

While the mock game on Friday was a showcase for the offense, Maxx Forde t w o members of the Vandal defensive line stood out with their play.

Forde, a junior from Woodinville, Wash., had eight total tackles in the game. Seven

Forde and Bradley specifically present different talents and abilities on the line. Compliment is the word there, Forde said.

“I think when you have D-lineman that’s your goal is to complement each other,” Forde said. “If you can complement each other well, know where each other is going to be we’ll be able to cut off the lanes where the quarterback is going to rush, that’s going to help us make more plays.”

So what does Idaho have to do to make it all click on Aug. 31?

“Be crazy,” Bradley said.

“Be crazy, because you have to have passion out there. Just be crazy, have fun, sprint to the ball, it’s just a defensive mentality.”

Chalich was also selected to meet with the media during Friday’s football media day after going 17-of-20 for 325 yards in the mock game. He wouldn’t say if coaches had told him if he were the starter or not.

“Just for me it’s all about executing, coach wants to see us come out and just make good reads, good decisions and just be tough with the ball,” Chalich said. “Just for me I’m trying to be perfect every game and just come out with passion and love for the game every time to take the field.”

The door still seems to be open for McCain and Davis. Petrino said it wouldn’t be out of the question for him to play multiple quarterbacks,

citing his time as offensive coordinator at Illinois when he would play freshman starter Nathan Scheelhaase for Eddie McGee on certain drives. “(McCain) is improving too, and I think it’s important, you got to get them all better because I think in this day and age, it’s a violent sport,” Petrino said. “You coach every single player to improve on every single play, because everyone is one snap away from being your guy.”

Freshman running back likely to start

As obvious as it might seem in practice that Chalich will take snaps under center on Saturday, it seems as likely that freshman Richard Montgomery will be taking carries often as well, Petrino said on Friday.

“I think there’s about a 95.5 percent chance he has a chance to do that. He’s taken the most reps in camp, he’s played harder than most people,” Petrino said. “…he’s worked too hard, he’s had too good of a camp. There’s a great, great chance. If you were a betting man I’d bet a lot.”

Montgomery is also too fast to keep off the field, offensive coordinator Kris Cinkovich said.

“Being in a situation before where you’re really working to turn around a program one of the ways you can do it is when you get playmaking caliber speed,” Cinkovich said. “The best drive, guys, is a oneplay drive.”

Sean Kramer can be reached at arg-sports@uidaho.edu

of those tackles were solo tackles. Forde’s teammate, interior lineman Ryan Edwards also had a great showing on the day. Edwards, a sophomore from Long Beach, Calif., had two sacks during the game. Both should play significant roles in the Vandals defensive game plan for their August 31, matchup against the North Texas.

Torell Stewart — Soccer

The Vandal soccer team lost at instate rival Idaho State, 2-0, Sunday, but freshman Torell Stewart keeper Torell Stewart can’t be blamed. Stewart started at keeper in the second half after Idaho was already down by two goals. She kept Idaho State from the net making three saves on the night.

Idaho’s next stop is Friday, Aug. 30 at WSU.

Real consequences Preventive responsibility lies with students to make campus life safer

C

ollege years are a great time to explore interests, meet new people and even make a few mistakes along the way.

However, mistakes involving high-risk behavior can have life-altering consequences.

The UI community has seen the consequences of these behaviors as several UI students have died in the past decade at UI because of alcohol abuse.

UI has taken action to prevent these

tragedies through the creation of two task forces – drug and alcohol, and Greek life. UI also tries to educate students on the consequences of high-risk lifestyles, like abusing alcohol and drugs, or having unprotected sex.

Not to mention the countless resources UI has invested in to help students with these problems. If you or a friend needs help dealing with highrisk behavior reach out and ask for

help, take advantage of these resources because they are often some of the best places to get advice and counseling.

That being said, UI can only do so much. It is ultimately up to students to assume responsibility for making campus life safer. Say something if you see an intoxicated girl stumble into a dark room with guy. Say something if a guy takes the key after having one too many.

The parents are gone now and we are on our own.

It’s important to be safe and make good decisions because the poor decisions will affect your near and distant futures.

Whether that poor decision is picking up a lifelong STD, or being arrested for underage drinking, the consequences are real.

a mountain where you can hike in the warm months and snowshoe in the winter.

Just a short drive away, while the weather is still warm, go whitewater rafting down the Snake River or visit one of the many state parks in the area for a weekend camping trip.

Of course, when the snow falls, a lot of the students retire to the mountains on the weekends and spend their time skiing, snowboarding and sledding down the slopes.

There is so much that this area has to offer, it would be unfortunate to not take advantage of it while you’re here.

Unlike many other cities in the country, Moscow is unique because all of the restaurants and events that make this town interesting are literally a 10-minute walk away.

I encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zone to get a feel for what area of study they want to focus on. But, I also encourage taking the same measure out of school and really take a chance to explore Moscow and the Palouse this year.

That manure smell? It will grow on you. Until then, look forward to winter when the smell will be covered up by a layer of white snow.

THE ARGONAUT

The Stewart-Colbert factor Daniel Lynch Harvard Political Review

Cloud Nine

Andrew Jenson | Argonaut

Millions of Americans watch them. They have been compared to Murrow and Cronkite, Shakespearian fools and even Socrates. Their guests have included world leaders, celebrities, leading scientists and everything in between.

But just who and what are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert: 21st century journalists or, as they claim, mere comedians? The answer is not entirely clearcut, as the line between comedy and journalism has blurred. Nonetheless, their position has given them a unique ability to raise issues and call out politicians in ways that mainstream journalists will not. They should embrace this power and the responsibility that comes with it.

Stewart defines himself as “a comedian” and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as “fake news.” In an interview on Meet the Press, Colbert described his character on The Colbert Report as “an active idiot.” However, some have argued that the Stewart-Colbert brand of “fake news” can actually be substantive and impactful. Their shows frequently highlight and raise awareness of serious issues, including some that may not receive sufficient attention from politicians and the mainstream media.

For instance, while many politicians decline to talk seriously about climate change, Colbert and Stewart have invited leading scientists to discuss the issue.

Indeed, the Project for Excellence in Journalism found that, in 2007, The Daily Show “devoted a greater percentage of its news to science/technology and environmental stories than did the mainstream news media.” Shortly after Colbert invited astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson on the show to criticize proposed cuts to NASA’s manned space program, President Obama, coincidentally or not, backtracked on the proposed cuts.

Similarly, Stewart repeatedly lambasted Congress for holding up benefits for 9/11 First Responders (the “Zadroga Act”), increasing coverage of the issue and arguably shaming Congress into eventually passing the bill. Meanwhile, by creating his own Super PAC, Colbert called attention to the issue of campaign finance and what he calls the “politicoindustrial complex,” winning a Peabody Award for his efforts.

The substantive content of these shows has not been lost on viewers. While

Stewart and Colbert insist that they are not newsmen, some, especially younger viewers, view the shows as legitimate news sources.

A 2004 Pew study found that shows like The Daily Show rivaled traditional broadcast news as sources of campaign information for young adults. Meanwhile, an Indiana University study found that The Daily Show’s coverage of the 2004 campaign was as substantive as network news.

Furthermore, a 2007 Pew survey found that regular viewers of Stewart’s and Colbert’s shows were much better informed than the national average and were even better informed than those who rely on traditional news outlets.

The appeal of Stewart and Colbert may be largely driven by deep frustration with current political reality. Timothy McCarthy, Director of the Kennedy School’s Carr Center for Human Rights Policy and a cultural historian, told the HPR that The Daily Show and The Colbert Report have become “place[s] where people would go to get their news because our politics ha[s] become so absurd and so…superficial and really all about a series of performances” that are themselves much like entertainment. Indeed, when asked if the shows ever push the envelope and become offensive, Stewart himself told Maureen Dowd, “I don’t understand how anyone can consider jokes about this stuff worse than the reality of it.”

“There’s no slander in an allowed fool” (Twelfth Night 1.5)

Arguably, an advantage Stewart and Colbert have over mainstream journalists is that, like the jesters and Shakespearian fools of old, they occupy a position outside the societal, or in this case, journalistic, mainstream from which they can tear into politicians and mainstream journalists without fear of pushback or accusations of bias. According to Paul Cantor, a culture critic and visiting professor of government at Harvard, they “share with a venerable satirical tradition,” a willingness and license to “speak truth to power.”

Cantor told the HPR that he has been “struck by how many times particularly Stewart has brought up an issue that the mainstream media refused to deal with.”

Clearly, Stewart takes on powerful people and weighty issues, perhaps surprising for a self-described comedian. According to McCarthy, however, “we are in a political and cultural moment where the distinction between entertainment and political journalism is being blurred.”
