“Somewhere A Voice Is Calling” by John McCormack (1914) Got an idea of what an early 1900s song might sound like? This song is the epitome of old classical music. With a sentimental feel to the tune, you can just imagine what it must have been like 100 years ago.
“I’ve Got A Feeling I’m Falling” by Annette Hanshaw (1929) This jazz-influenced classic with a female singer makes for an affectionate throwback. It would
make the perfect soundtrack song for a play set in the 20s about a first-class romance.
“Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Judy Garland (1939) Better known as the islander hit by Israel IZ Kamakawiwo’ole, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” was first made popular by a scene in the movie “The Wizard of Oz.” Judy Garland plays the lead character, Dorothy, and sings this song in response to her aunt’s advice — “find yourself a place where you won’t get into any trouble.”
“Let’s Twist Again” by Chubby Checker (1962) It’s probably the best throw-
back song for Baby Boomers and Generation X. A clapping tune and simple dance move of twisting your hips makes it easy to just get up and join the crowd to dance the night away.
“American Pie” by Don McLean (1972) The type of song where everyone lifts their lighter (or iPhone) in the beginning to sway to the intro while prepping to sing-a-long “Bye-bye, Miss American pie. Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry…”

“throwback”
a timeless hit with a smokey voice singing out reasons to love a woman. Bette Davis was a popular actress, whose eyes were known to be big, beautiful and full of stories with secrets and seduction.
“Gangsta’s Paradise” by Collio (1995) Is it rap? Hip-hop? Or is it even gospel-esque with the descriptions of life, death and resurrection? Whatever it is, it holds all the aspects of the ‘90s musical revolution where a new genre was born.
“Bette Davis Eyes” by Kim Carnes (1981)
“Lose Yourself” by Eminem (2002)

Another ground-shaking lyrical revelation, Eminem is one of
those artists who always has a comeback. This single was made popular by his movie “8 Mile” and he explains in the song why becoming a rap artist is necessary for him.
“Born This Way” by Lady Gaga (2011) Go ahead and have your own personal opinions on Lady Gaga and her unusual style of self-expression, but she is moving mountains for our generation. Not only is she teaching us to love our femininity, but her biggest lesson is tolerance — tolerance of others and of ourselves. Jacqui Lambert can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu

Marching through time claire whitley rawr It is hard to even imagine UI without a marching band but the Vandals did lose the band at one point. In March of 1976, according to archived Argonauts, UI Department of Music authorities said there would not be a marching band due to a lack of funding. Then in April of that same year, the marching band was completely eliminated and a bill was proposed for by ASUI to have a pep band to play at games instead. Students were upset and several editorials were published to sway the administrators’ minds. One student, Rich Davis, urged students to vote for a bill to have a portion of students’ tuition money to support the band fees. In November of 1977, ASUI voted to pass the bill that every student enrolled at UI pay $2 toward the band’s operating expenses. The student support came just in time because in 1980, the
marching band was invited to play at the inauguration of President Reagan. Students support the marching band to this day. Current UI Marching Band Director Spencer Martin expressed his thanks to ASUI and the students. “We do not take the students for granted,” Martin said. “We treasure the relationship between us and them because without them, we would not be here.” Martin said the relationship was not just that it was a student marching band, but everything the band does is directed at the students. “We are the students’ band,” Martin said. The relationship continues into the arrangements of UI halftime shows. All arrangements are written by current or past students of the UI Marching Band, according to Martin. “We don’t just want to be the best, but the only,” Martin said. The band works with students from all majors of the university. The

Mechanical Engineering Department helped create a portable drum set for the band and the Computer Science Department programmed the light show at the Dad’s Weekend football game. Martin also said that playing for the students is special because the students and the crowd stay through halftime. “The crowd cheers and applauds and that is very special to us,” Martin said. “Especially in our third show when the students, not just the fans from the community, but the students gave us a standing ovation. That was truly special.” Martin said out of the 195 member band, each student is there because they love to play and they love UI. “We are by the students, for the students,” Martin said. “And we are truly thankful for ASUI and UI students for continuing to support us.” Claire Whitley can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu.

Hatching hens to hatching fish UI’s Aquaculture Research Institute was once a dormitory jared jonas rawr If you go just northwest of the Kibbie Dome on the University of Idaho campus, you’ll find an old building nestled under a tree. This building is UI’s Aquaculture Research Institute (ARI). The ARI is where all of the aquatic research studies carried out by the university are conducted. This building wasn’t always the place for aquatic studies though, it used to be home to the poultry and dairy studies on campus. What is now the main building of ARI, was once a dorm for students that were in charge of caring for the animals used by the Animal Sciences Department. Loyd Falen lived in the building when he was attending the
university as an undergraduate from 1959-1963 and again while he was pursuing graduate school from 1967-69. While living in the dorm, Falen and his fellow roommates worked for the university tending to the chickens that were being used for research at the school. They did everything from feeding the chickens to sorting and checking the eggs for imperfections before selling them to local businesses, Falen said. Falen received his undergraduate degree in Animal Science and took a few years off before returning to finish his graduate work. As a graduate student, he was more involved with the research aspects of the department, rather than working as a laborer. “As a graduate student, the main topic of my thesis was the effect of temperature on laying hens,” Falen said. Eventually, all of the animal science
buildings were either repurposed or torn down, with just the old dorm and two other buildings left standing. The building Falen had his experiment in is the only old hen house left and is now being used for soil storage by the Agricultural Department. The ARI took over the 3-story dormitory back in the 1980s Patrick Blaufuss said. Blaufuss works in the ARI doing habitat and population protection for a type of fish known as the burbot, a bottom feeding fish similar to cod. The old dorm has been completely converted into a research facility, complete with live burbot tanks housed in the basement. Burbot populations in Idaho have been dangerously low for some time now and the ARI has been working to protect their habitats and the remaining fish for the past 10 years,
Vandal generations of flagship chin-lun hsu rawr The first time walking on the University of Idaho campus was not completely strange for Anna Mitchell or Marie Duncan. Instead, there was a familiarity as though they had been there before. They were the new generation of Vandals whose family went to UI before them. “I’ve heard stories about (the) U of I campus and (my parents) met really close to campus,” Mitchell, a UI freshman, said. “So when I walk in around here, I can see, ‘Oh, that’s the lounge where my parents met, and that’s where they built the fire in the arboretum,’ things like that.” Mitchell is the second generation in
her family to go to UI. Since her parents are from around the Palouse area, she grew up in an environment similar to Moscow — just one of the draws to UI. After three generations on both her parents’ sides completed their degree at UI, Duncan, UI admission assistant director, undoubtedly chose UI when she applied for school. “I grew up in that family, so of course when it came for me to start looking for colleges I only applied to the U of I,” Duncan said. “That was for the level of academics and also hearing all (my family’s) college stories and those experiences, I knew I wanted that small college.” Duncan said since UI is one of the land-grant universities there is a lot of pride across the state. Parents who went to UI would raise their children to have
the desire and pride to attend UI and become a Vandal. Having family explain the scholarship and application process was a plus, Duncan said. About 20 years from her parents’ graduation, she said there were still the same professors and staff on campus when she went to UI. Bruce Pitman, now the Dean of Students, was involved in a Greek chapter while her parents were here. Both Mitchell and Duncan said there was some presssure put on them when they decided to study at UI. Mitchell said when she told people she was going to UI, people would assume it was because her parents went here, without knowing she actually got the scholarship. As for Duncan, her pressure was from

Blaufuss said. Remnants from the ARI’s days as a dormitory can be found all throughout the few buildings left standing in the area. Anything from old de-beakers and heating lamps used for incubating hen eggs can be found in storage housings with personal effects of past students littering the main building itself. Blaufuss even found old property belonging to Reid Merrill, a student that lived in the dorm during the 1940s, who later founded Merrill Egg Farm Inc. — which is still in operating out of Emmett, Idaho. The old buildings don’t have much life left in them, however. The buildings are set to be torn down by sometime in 2015, and the ARI is being relocated to a new property which will begin construction soon, Blaufuss said. Jared Jonas can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu
Vandal pride is thick as blood for some students the professors. “I remember a professor asked me if I am Jon Fabricius’s daughter and I said yes and he was like ‘I hope you are a better student than he was,’” Duncan said. “So I also had to kind of live through their legacy, good or bad.” Looking back decades ago, there was no Living Learning Community, the Theophilus Tower used to be an all girls’ dorm, but now it is co-ed. Mitchell said that seemed strange for her parents. “The new buildings (are) beautiful, but still have that kind of old university charm,” Duncan said. “We haven’t lost our root since we built new buildings.” Chin-Lun Hsu can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu

Still supporting her Vandals UI Alumna Louise Regelin supports College of Law since 1979 nurainy darono rawr Out of all of the other universities she was admitted to, Louise Regelin decided to attend the University of Idaho Law School in 1976 because of the climate, the Moscow community, the location, the scenery and the culture. Regelin has been active in the community as a UI alumna ever since. She and her husband, Dave Sherman, have supported the Women’s Center and have donated funds to the UI College of Law toward scholarships for over 30 years. Regelin fell in love with Moscow and the community. She decided to come back and serve as an attorney in the state of Idaho, a few years after she graduated. She has lived in the Palouse area ever since. Regelin was convinced by a friend of hers to attend UI Law School. She said the tuition was reasonable, the community was small and it had a good program — all things she found important in a college town. Her college experience was interesting and memorable. She said she enjoyed the scenery, community and the entertainment such as the local music, the arts and the theatre. “It was very interesting, because College of Law was very self-contained,” Regelin said. “The Law School I thought was exceptional — I think almost all the students had their own study carrel.” Although the people that she was going to the movies with, eating with and talking to were other law students, Regelin was involved in other UI activities like participating with the Women’s Center, going to football games and attending events in the Student Union Building. As to changes to the university, new and renovated buildings are the significant ones Regelin has noticed. She said in the ‘70s, the Idaho Commons, Teaching Learning Center, Albertson Building, Natural Resources Building and the Living Learning Center were not there. “When I was there, the Brink Building was just being converted from a dormitory to an office building,” Regelin
said. Regelin said the university has grown pretty fast in both technology and enrollment, though the number of buildings has grown even faster. “I think they have done a great job with keeping up with the technology, providing services — being able to purchase services, higher people and buy materials,” she said. One thing Regelin criticized was the state policy on higher education. She said in the ‘80s, the higher education fund was about 19 percent out of general fund, and it has decreased ever since — now is about 8 or 9 percent. “It has always been an uphill battle in Idaho — that’s one thing that’s never changed,” she said. “When I first got involved in a legislature, in the early ‘80s, public education was getting over 50 percent of the general fund and higher education was getting 19 percent. Today (it is) down (to a) single digit.” Regelin grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Before coming to Moscow, she graduated from a college in Wisconsin and became a teacher. She taught for 12 years in Wisconsin, Washington and Tennessee. She moved from Tennessee to Moscow on July 31, 1976. By taking some summer courses, she could graduate in less than three years — Regelin finished in December 1978 and graduated in May 1979. She was then offered a job in Lewiston, right after graduation. She came back to Moscow in 1984. “I fell in love with Grangeville, because it was very like my own county seat where I grew up in Wisconsin,” she said. “It was there, where I met my husband, and about a year or so after I move to Grangeville I got married. A couple of years after that, we moved back to Moscow.” Aside from practicing law, Regelin also taught a business law and real estate law courses at Washington State University from 1989 until spring 2003 — when she retired. She has been very active in both university communities. She was previously the vice president of American Association of University Women and is currently the vice president of the Pacific Northwest Kiwanis.

Who were the Vandals? hannah shirley rawr Since the university first opened its doors and 30 students and one professor gathered to pursue a higher education. Four years later, the university’s first graduating class received their diplomas, and a few years after that, the College of Agriculture was established. By the early 1900s, University of Idaho was already showing promise as a great university. Students were flocking to the university and alumni numbers were growing rapidly. None of these students, however, were Vandals. While today Joe Vandal is an integral part of the school’s identity, UI students didn’t become “Vandals” until the 1920s — nearly 30 years after the school’s opening. According to the UI Athletics Department, Idaho’s student-athletes go by a name earned nearly a century ago by a basketball team coached by Hec Edmundson, whose teams played defense with such intensity and ferocity that sports writers said they “vandalized” their opponents. The first one to call Idaho athletes Vandals was Argonaut reporter Harry Lloyd “Jazz” McCarty. In a 1917 pre-game write up, McCarty wrote, “The opening game with Whitman will mark a new epoch in Idaho basketball history, for the present gang of ‘Vandals’ have the best material that has ever carried the ‘I’ into action.” The term stuck, and in 1921, McCarty and the dean of the College of Liberal Arts succeeded in having the university’s teams officially nicknamed the Vandals. Surprisingly few students, however, know about who the Vandals really were. Students have guessed they were everything from Norwegian Vikings to barbaric European tribes to,

The current Joe Vandal, UI’s mascot. as freshman Jared Young put it, “the guys from ‘How to Train Your Dragon.’” UI history professor Ellen Kittell specializes in premodern European history, and according to her, the Vandal people weren’t so much barbarians as they were migrators. “It is important to remember that the Vandals probably either saw themselves as Roman or as associated with that culture,” Kittell said. “Recent historiography has tended to describe them as a transitional group.” According to Kittell, the Vandals were a Germanic people who migrated to the Roman Empire from their home in what is now Poland and West Russia due to conflict with the Goths around the year 330 A.D. The Vandals had more or less good relations with the Roman emperor, Constantine. Constantine was the emperor who legitimated Christianity around 325 A.D. After the Vandals arrived in the Roman Empire, they too became
Christian. The form of Christianity adopted by the Vandals, however, taught that God the son was subordinate to God the father, thus bringing them into conflict with the more orthodox emperors. Despite conflict, the Vandals stayed in Rome until the fifth century, when they were finally driven out by attacks from the Huns. From then on, the Vandals migrated from place to place. Nineteenth and 20th century historians call these movements “barbarian invasions”— however, another description would be the “Germanic migrations.” By 420 A.D., the Vandals had set up a fairly stable kingdom in North Africa. Over the next fifty years, the Vandal kingdom expanded into the Mediterranean Sea. As they absorbed modern-day Sicily, Corsica and Sardinia, they unsurprisingly came into conflict with the Romans in Italy. By this time, however, the Christian Vandals had taken on aspects of Roman culture. “There is some evidence

The first ever Joe Vandal mascot from the late 1950s. that they, as did other Germanic peoples, saw themselves either as successors to Rome or even Roman themselves,” Kittell said. It is, perhaps, for this reason that they became involved in Roman politics. In 455 A.D., the king of the Vandals, Genseric, was offered the hand of the daughter of Emperor Valentinian III. The marriage never occurred, however, as Valentinian was killed by usurpers before the ceremonies. According to Kittell, things get murky at this point. The Vandals claimed that when they entered Rome, they were responding to a plea for help from Empress Licinia Eudoxia to rescue her and her daughter from the usurpers, but they certainly left with a lot of extra stuff. Historians refer to this as the “Vandal sack of Rome.” Many historians and others believed that the Sack of Rome meant death and destruction and despoiling and a lack of respect. Know-
ing this, it is a small leap to make to understand where we get our contemporary term “vandalism.” As for the Vandals, after the sack of Rome, the kingdom was consolidated in the next 30 years or so to the point that the Arian Christian Vandals came to tolerate, to a degree, Orthodox Christians — a kingdom based on one family or person rarely ends well, however. In 534 A.D., the last Vandal king surrendered to Emperor Justinian’s General Belisarius, and the Vandal kingdom of North Africa came to an end. Almost 1,500 years later, an Idaho university is celebrating its 125th birthday. Though they have been gone over a millennia, the Vandals were a true force, and Idaho students continue to draw from their strength. So next time you’re at a basketball game, give Joe a high five.

From Spanish Flu to buttocks surveys alexia neal rawr There is much to learn about University of Idaho’s history that can be found in the long-time record keeping of the Argonaut records. After looking through Argonaut archives, it is apparent that the culture of the school and its students has greatly morphed over the years.
1898: Vol. 1, No. 1 The first Argonaut newspapers weren’t written in the typical newspaper style. They were formatted like a book, with a table of contents showing sections including “Athletics,” “Professionals,” “Scholars,” “Shakespeare,” etc. There were no pictures in this 182 page book and all ads were placed in the back of the book.
1914 The Argonaut papers of this time were formatted like a typical newspaper, similar to now. They were only four pages, however, and mostly advertisements. In the few spaces without advertisements, the stories were brief and in a very small, clustered print. A particular shoe ad stood out in the paper: Men and Women’s Shoes... $2.80.
1916 Headlines for these particular newspapers must have been rather unnerving. Many of this year’s stories were cautionary or about illness and disease. “No Spanish Flu” — A quarantine was put on UI to ensure the flu wouldn’t spread around campus. The nearby Nez Perce tribe around Lewiston was infected and officials wanted to be sure it didn’t spread. “Quarantine rules still enforced” — the efforts of the quarantine were enforced for a while. Police were present at the train station and anyone wishing to visit the campus was sent to the Christian Science Church and asked to stay for four days before being able to enter campus. “Everybody must wear flu masks” — as a precaution, flu masks were sent to every sorority on campus and the girls were forced to wear the masks in case of any infections. “UI Library being fumigated” — in efforts to kill any possible infections in highly populated areas, the UI Library was locked down and sprayed with formaldehyde. It is now under-
stood that formaldehyde is a chemical known to cause cancer and has been classified as a human carcinogenic by the Environment Protection Agency.
1929 Most of the ads in this year’s Argonaut involved fashion or personal care for men and women. Most ads were from clothing stores, barber shops and candy shops. One of the largest features was a “Clothes Calendar for College Days” with descriptions of appropriate outfits. The most humorous description being for sports — “for tennis, golf and play time, wear dresses, sweaters, pleated skirts and shoes to harmonize... $9.85.”
1930 One of the most interesting ads was a psychology ad. The ad included a short description about psychology being the science of the future and encouraging students to take the course. The course fee for the semester was $15 with a money back guarantee offered by the professor.
1955 There were many cigarette ads in the newspaper, portraying smoking as the fashionable thing to do. “Put a smile in your smoking,” was one ad with beautiful men and women sitting flirtatiously on a car.
1970 An environmentalist made a proposal to ban the distribution of disposable bottled beverages. The story showed how hard the man was working to make this idea noticed, but the ban didn’t pass. He made predictions of the environmental repercussions if disposable bottles continued to be produced.
1975 One headline read, “Student tells all: attractiveness depends on buttocks proportions.” A comprehensive survey was conducted between the women of UI and WSU based on a bias that WSU’s women have nicer buttocks. The girls were rated as follows: perfectly proportioned, well-shaped, attractive not fat, but also not well-formed, less attractive tending toward being out of proportion, moderately overweight but not gross definitely overweight, gross

An issue of The Argonaut from 1974. Apparently streaking was a popular activity on campus at the time. Evaluators had rules so not to be objective, and it was finally determined that there was no difference between the two schools: both UI and WSU had women of equally proportioned buttocks.
1985 Just a week before the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade case, protesters marched the streets near Friendship Square. Two organizations met in the square but there was some drama between them. The two groups were the Idaho Chapter of the Right to Life and the Organization for Women. The ICRL compared abortion to the Holocaust, while the protest for OFW was mainly against the abortion clinic bombings that had been occurring over the last year. We are still seeing a lot of debate on this topic 30 years later.
1994 In August, after many complaints of random stomach aches from people living in Moscow, the water was tested and environmentalist said coliform was found in the water. It was later tested and found to be clean, but the random occurrence troubled people.
2014 Now with more modern newspapers, stories are organized in particular sections so they can be easily located. Like the culture changes that can be seen over the past 125 years, we can also see similar changes in the newspaper. At first, newspapers were very formal and harder to read, but they have now been modified to fit the needs of society. Alexia Neal can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu
