The Vandalance, owned by former Delta Chi fraternity members, serves as a tailgate vehicle. It currently sits in the parking lot behind Patty’s Kitchen off Sixth Street.

For $1,800 one lucky person could be the new owner of the iconic Vandalance that is currently owned by former members of Delta Chi fraternity. The price is negotiable and the vehicle is already detailed in Vandal colors. The
Vandalance was an old ambulance that has since been transformed into a black, silver and gold vehicle with Vandalance written on the side in the iconic Vandal lettering that is also on the university’s logo. Former Delta Chi members Cody Earl, Bret Lytle and Marshall Breish said the Vandalance is a University of Idaho tailgating machine that was purchased with aspirations of turning it into one of the coolest vehicles in the UI parking lot during tailgates. “Our freshman year in Delta Chi a couple
older members bought it in Grangeville and brought it up to Delta Chi to have it as a tailgating vehicle, and they put money into it to do the detailing and design and stuff like that and they didn’t have enough money to keep the renovations going,” Earl said. Lytle said he has some fond memories of tailgating in the vehicle and the older members who owned it during his freshman year. “Our second or third home game my freshman year I remember going out and seeing older members hanging out and
blasting music by the Vandalance,” Lytle said. “I went over and hung out with them. It was a pretty good time.” Earl said the Vandalance has a lot of potential and another fraternity or lone buyer could buy it and complete the transformation of the old ambulance into the tailgating machine it could be. He said it would be nice to see it traveling the roads of Moscow and at tailgating once again. SEE TAILGATE, PAGE 5

Library to host self-published, mini magazine workshop Erik Fink Argonaut
Most people go to a library to read books and magazines, but University of Idaho students will get the chance to create a magazine of their own. The UI Library will host a workshop on May 1 to teach participants how to
make a Zine. Anne Gaines, library assistant at the UI Library, said a Zine is a self-published mini magazine. She said it is like a blog but more current. “Basically I will be leading the workshop and I will be helped by Sarah VanGundy,” Gaines said. “I will start by giving a general
overview of what a Zine is.” Gaines said she will teach participants the aspects that make a good Zine. She said the content that makes a good Zine depends on the audience. “I personally like a lot of comics in my Zines,” Gaines should focus on is making their Zine visually interest-
ing so it can catch people’s attention and make them want to read it. The other big step is including interesting subject matter, something interesting to read or learn about.” Sarah VanGundy will assist Gaines with the workshop. VanGundy said it is possible for Zines to become
full magazines. “Basically when a Zine becomes a magazine is when they start accepting advertising,” VanGundy said. VanGundy said the workshop will give participants a better understanding of how

Information about funeral arrangements will be announced as soon as they are available.
