“go away depression”

The cold weather can be one of the reasons why people are feeling down in November. Listening to encouraging music will help keep you sane. For those who are feeling a little down and depressed, these songs are dedicated to you. They encourage you to appreciate and believe in yourself, even though there may be obstacles in your way.

learning to believe in herself and find her wings. If she can do it, so can you.
“Stay the Same” – Joey McIntyre This song was released in 1999 but still has a good message. The song is mellow and has that 90s tone—Joey McIntyre’s soft voice fits the song very well. The lyrics say, “And I hope you always stay the same, cause there’s nothing ‘bout you I would change.” Listen to the all the lyrics carefully and soon you will feel better about yourself.
“This Is the Stuff” – Francesca Battistelli Francesca Battistelli is a Christian singer and songwriter. Her songs are catchy and most of them don’t really sound like other religious songs. “This Is the Stuff” is a song that tells the story of a realistic situation that happens to people all the time. “Free To Be Me” is another song of hers that I would recommend.
“Say” – John Mayer John Mayer is a genius songwriter and guitarist. I
honestly enjoy all of his songs and “Say” is my favorite one. The lyrics are, “Take all of your so-called problems. Better put them in quotations. Say what you need to say.” Listen to this song and you will want to tell the truth about all of your problems to your best friend.
“Keep Your Head Up” – Andy Grammer This song is really catchy and sure to have you singing along and lifting your spirit. The chorus says, “I know it’s hard, know it’s hard to remember sometimes, but you
gotta keep your head up.” The repetition of the chorus works well because it will remind you to “keep your head up.”
“Reflection” – Christina Aguilera “Reflection” is a song about being true to yourself and others. This song is very encouraging because it tells you that wearing a mask can easily fool people — but it can’t fool your own heart. The lyrics say, “My reflection shows who I am inside.” Nurainy Darono can bereached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu

FASHION FORWARD
‘I be on my suit and tie’ A quick and easy guide to men’s fashion
ariana tobe rawr College is a time for both guys and girls to discover their own personal style and the time to up the game, when it comes to getting dressed for success. Men’s fashion is becoming more prominent and is giving guys the chance to create an extension of personality through clothes. Clothing, Textiles and Design student, Alec Rattner believes menswear is open-ended with countless styles to explore. “There’s something great about having the beautiful formal suits, but then working all the way down into things where you just get crazy and do whatever you want and I think that is what makes men’s fashion interesting,” Rattner said. Like every wardrobe, there are some staple pieces Rattner thinks everyone should own. He said a good fitting pair of dark indigo jeans and a light blue oxford cut button down shirt are key items to have. Rattner also said that boots are essential for fall and winter. He said they should straddle the line between dressy formal boots and a really rugged outdoorsy style. “You can’t do wrong with those pieces,” he said. “They go with everything, are really versatile and everyone looks good in them — if they fit well.” Street wear is a trend that has become popular among males. Old-school sneakers and athletic shoes give a simple look an exciting pop of color, Rattner said. Taking the old-school route, he said denim jackets,
bomber jackets and particularly varsity jackets are all reliable and classic options for keeping warm. Rattner said personal style is all about doing what an individual is comfortable with but also says who someone is as a person. “I wouldn’t want anyone to feel like they have to be out of their comfort zone,” Rattner said. “To a certain degree, I think how you dress and clothing is a huge indicator to people. People can make their first impression of you within seconds of seeing you. It allows you to convey more about yourself.” Ethan Sumpter, a business and economics student, focuses more on the “city career man” side of menswear. He said any type of nice dress slacks, khaki pants and dress shirts are items every guy should have. “You only need one or two ties,” Sumpter said. “There are so many designs and styles to choose from.” Rattner said he thinks every guy should have a watch. He prefers simple watches with a leather band, for example. On the contrary, Sumpter prefers a watch in gold or silver. “In college, unless you have a professional job, interviews or are doing the business type internships, you can really dress however you want in classes,” Sumpter said. “I dress up because it makes me feel good about myself. It really doesn’t take too long for a guy to look a little nice.” Ariana Tobe can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu

Professor play published alexia neal rawr Happiness is a hoax and those who believe otherwise are deceitful human beings, says Eva, a character in Robert Caisley’s play, “Happy.” Caisley is a professor of theatre and head of dramatic writing at the University of Idaho and had his new play published on Oct. 28. “Happy” is about a genuinely content man, Alfred, the happiest man you can imagine. He is happy with his job, with his marriage and even happy despite the fact that his daughter has been disabled and restricted to a wheelchair for a majority of her life. Alfred seems to view life in a purely optimistic way, always with a smile on his face. Then one evening, his best friend, Eduardo the artist, invites him and his wife over for dinner to meet his new girlfriend, Eva. Eva is also an artist, significantly younger than Eduardo, and nonetheless, believes that happiness is a fallacy and those who say they are happy are lying to themselves and those around them. Caisley was inspired to
write “Happy” by his dramatic literature class. He said he was discussing with students the patterns of the tragic flaws of characters as seen throughout history. Caisley said examples like Othello’s jealousy, Macbeth’s unbridled ambition and Romeo and Juliet’s blindness in love all triggered an idea in his head — what if the dramatic flaw of a character is something that is usually a positive trait? If someone’s own happiness was their defect? “Eva doesn’t believe in the concept of happiness,” Caisley said. “She thinks that people who say they are happy are lying to themselves and to those around them. She says happy people are manipulative and deceptive.” In just one night, Eva causes Alfred to question the authenticity of his own happiness. His relationship with his best friend and wife are eventually ruined and he inevitably self-destructs. The play begins as a comedy but rapidly morphs into a drama as tragedy strikes Alfred’s life. It took Caisley three weeks to write the script, and about eight months to finish the editing and revising process. The
play was showcased at the National New Play Network (NNPN) in November 2011, and has since been produced four other times. Caisley said he has travelled to all the productions of “Happy” and said he has been amused at how unique each show has been. “Each one has approached the set differently,” he said. “It’s interesting to see not just the casting, but how the staging is changed, what the set looks like and what the costumes look like. Each scene designer has interpreted it quite differently.” Caisley said the NNPN is a service organization that represents 27 professional theatres across the country that are all dedicated to producing and promoting new plays. Now that “Happy” is officially published, it can be bought or produced by anyone, he said. He said he has had his plays produced consistently in the past two years, but has exceptional hopes for “Happy.” “Happy” can be purchased on amazon.com or from the publisher, Samuel French.

Get going chin-lun hsu rawr As the fall break approaches, it’s time to start planning for that trip back home or to wherever your gas money will take you. It is never too early to plan a trip, especially for those who will travel far distances during holidays. The earlier you buy the tickets or book the hotels, the better deals and more options you can get. Here are some tips on how to plan a trip and create the best travel experience.
Think about the purpose of the trip The trip could be a honeymoon trip, family trip, friend trip, etc. Knowing the purpose of the trip helps you decide the location you want to travel to. For example, Greece would be a good place for a honeymoon trip and some Asian countries are great for family trips. Camping or big city trips are fun options for an exciting adventure with friends. As long as you figure out the purpose of the trip, then you have some rough ideas about the details that will follow.
Check the bank account balance You already have some places in mind, so now check your bank account balance. Sometimes it is hard to figure out where to go since there are so many choices. Knowing how much money you can spend on a vacation can help narrow down those options.
Mark up the travel route People who can afford a travel agent don’t have to worry too much about details of the trip, but most
people prefer making their own traveling arrangements. You should check the places you would like to visit along the way and at the destination, what the route is, what kind of transportation you can take and what and where the famous tourist sites are. Print out the information and mark the spots on the map. This saves your time while travelling in an unfamiliar place.
Compare price and book early Expedia Travel, Orbitz Travel,
KAYAK and Priceline.com are some websites where you can find the cheapest flights, hotels and rental cars. Try to compare the prices on more than two websites and you will eventually find the best deal. Once you find the price you like, book it right away as the price inflates the closer you get to the departure date — especially during the holiday season.
Check the weather Some people forget to check weather conditions before they go on vacation and unexpected weather conditions will ruin
11.15.13
The memories are worth the planning, stress to study abroad your mood to travel. Checking the weather can also give you some ideas about where and when to go on vacation. If you don’t like rain, then April and May will not be a good time to travel in Asian countries. So always check the weather before travelling in order to bring appropriate clothes and gear.
Pack smart Some people like to pack a lot of unneeded stuff. Before you pack, carefully think about and write down what you really need for the trip. You can lighten your luggage by only packing the needed stuff. For example, jeans could be worn for several days before you
throw them in the washing machine and are a good option for travelling.
In your absence After you have planned everything out, think about what needs to be taken care of while you’re gone. If you will be gone more than three days, try to find someone to take care of your place, plants or pet. Also, finish homework before you go on a trip because you will want to have as much fun as possible during the vacation without worrying about that final project.

Holy Rider Local priest with a wild side
george wood jr. | rawr
Father Caleb Vogel is a motorcycle-riding priest from the St. Augustine’s Catholic Center, and his unorthodox mode of transportation has gained him attention from students around campus. Besides his commute, Vogel has also completed multiple cross country rides on his motorcycle.
claire whitley rawr At the end of Mass, Father Caleb Vogel sheds his priestly garb, dons a sleek black helmet and rides his motorcycle into the distance. Not only has he been the priest at St. Augustine’s on Deakin Street for four years, but he lives on the dangerous side of life. Vogel preaches and rides motorcycles. “It’s kinda how I get away,” Vogel said. “People have certain types of hobbies that they do to get away. Some go to the gym, some read. When I’m on my motorcycle, I can’t be distracted by a phone call. I don’t even listen to music. It’s just me and the road.” Vogel said it is comparable to riding in a convertible. “You feel the change in temperature, the smells — it’s just such a different
experience and you have to really pay attention,” Vogel said. “You’re in it. Kind of like a video game. You are in it.” To find a priest rides a motorcycle catches many people by surprise, Vogel said. “People associate motorcycles with a racy lifestyle,” Vogel said. “You’re a Hells Angel, an outlaw. You’re a punk.” However, people have become more accepting of it and many think it is a neat idea, Vogel said. “I just want to bust the myth that not all motorcycle riders are evil,” Vogel said. The first motorcycle that Vogel owned he bought his first year of college and it was not the best bike ever. He said he pulled up to a church to help with a vacation bible school on that bike and all the moms herded the children away. “I guess it’s just instinct to believe
that trouble rolls in (on a motorcycle),” Vogel said. After that, the priest said he owned several bikes and scooters. His favorite motorcycle was the super sport bike Kawasaki ZX 14, the fastest production motorcycle on the market. Vogel rode that bike all the way to the Arctic Circle. Now Vogel said he rides a venturetouring bike that is good on the streets as well as for off-roading. Vogel has done many long trip motorcycle vacations including one called the Iron Butt Border to Border challenge. It is a road trip from the U.S. border with Canada to the border with Mexico in just 36 hours. That is about 1,000 miles every day on a motorcycle. Vogel said he even made some trailers on YouTube about the trip. “What’s cool about it is that on a motorcycle vacation, it’s not about
the destination,” Vogel said. “On a motorcycle, who cares where you’re going? The whole journey is the vacation. You just ride all day and experience it and it’s just the best.” Going on these long motorcycle vacations forces a person to be simple, he said. “You can only pack so much with you,” Vogel said. “It just forces everything to be simplified. There is nothing better than a simple journey that is uncomplicated.” This summer, Vogel said he is planning a motorcycle vacation to the Northeast to see the Great Lakes and Maine. On the way home, he plans to visit Mount Rushmore. As a kid, Vogel wanted to be a priest and now he is realizing that dream from the open road. Claire Whitley can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu

Coffee cup turns chair UI interior design class reuses old coffee cups to make decorative chairs kelsey hart rawr A used coffee cup, lid, sleeve and a stirrer became part of a class project when Rula Awwad-Rafferty, a professor at the University of Idaho teaching an introduction to interior design course, mimicked a challenge from Interior Designers of Idaho. The project follows guidelines of the Re:Use Cup Challenge that requires participants to exercise creativity and innovation by transforming a used coffee cup into a chair. Awwad-Rafferty said she allowed students three weeks to create their submissions. She asked students to keep a log of their design as they went through the creation process. They were required to take pictures and submit all sketches, written work and even designs that were thrown out, Awwad-Rafferty said. Awwad-Rafferty said she used this project in her classroom to get the students thinking about the design process and to give them practice with it. “We want them to think creatively about everyday objects,” Awwad-Rafferty said. The spirit of the challenge is in the reuse aspect of turning an old used cup into something else, she said. Awwad-Rafferty said she asked students to name their chairs and explain the idea and concept they were attempting to emulate. “I want students to be aware of how to create from the moment of inspiration all the way to the tangible project,” she said. Morgan McCoy, a sophomore in the class, said she enjoyed the project. “This project was defi-
nitely unique,” McCoy said. “I haven’t encountered anything quite like it since I’ve been in college.” Using a coffee cup to build a chair led McCoy to look at more modern chair designs for her inspiration. “I wanted the cup to have kind of a contemporary structure but have a style that would belong in a coffee shop,” McCoy said. One of the struggles McCoy said she had was working with the curved surface of the cup. Students were also allowed to use any type of glue to hold the materials together, something McCoy also found to be a struggle. “The project overall was much easier than I anticipated,” McCoy said. “I thought using a coffee cup for materials would limit what we could do, but it just called for students to be more creative.” Awwad-Rafferty said this project allows her to see how far students can take their talent by reusing something and show that it can have another life after it is done being used. Some students used doodles, music, shapes, colors or proportions as inspirations for their chairs and used pieces in innovative ways, Awwad-Rafferty said. Designs created by students in the class ranged from lounge chairs, traditional four leg chairs to stools, chairs that hang, as well as both round and square chairs. Awwad-Rafferty will be submitting student designs for the Re:Use Cup Challenge in April after she has given students the opportunity to rework their designs after providing her feedback.

Eight days of turkey Hanukkah and Thanksgiving fall on the same day bryce delay rawr There are now two good reasons to end a few nights in a food coma this November—Hanukkah will be celebrated from Nov. 27 through Dec. 5 and our beloved turkey day will be sharing one of those days. This rare occurrence, which will not happen again in this century, is a great excuse to add delicious Hanukkah treats to your baking repertoire. Two traditional dishes to impress friends while partaking in the eight-day celebrations are sufganiyot and potato latkes. Sufganiyot is a classic, sugar coated donut that is deep fried in vegetable oil. They are relatively simple donuts that are similar to scones. Tutorials on how to make sufganiyot can be found on YouTube. Potato latkes appear like a little hash brown cake. They are also deep fried in oil and include thin slices of carrots and onions which are mixed in with the hash. The ingredients are simple — along with the carrots and onions, hash browns, an egg or two and flower help the latkes stick together while you fry them up. Three University of Idaho students gave their own ideas this week as to what their families have traditionally done and what they plan on doing this coming Thanksgiving. Estefania Mondragon, a member of the Young Democrats Club, said her family incorporates both Mexican and
American dishes on Thanksgiving. “Half my family is traditionally Mexican and half my family is traditionally American,” Mondragon said. “We do all of the typical stuff like pecan pie and stuffing, but then we have a turkey with chili.” She said plenty of Mexican dishes are made with turkey, so her family likes to spice things up and incorporate other techniques that add a lot of flavor and variation to their turkey dishes. Her family makes two

dishes of turkey on Thanksgiving. The first is the turkey con mole and the second is the more traditional baked turkey. In addition to the more traditional desserts like pumpkin and pecan pie, Mondragon said her family also makes Mexican flan cake. Typical flan cake consists of sugar, eggs sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla. A flan cake can be a great way to diversify the pie choices. Audrey Mayberry, a vis-
iting transfer student, said she spends her Thanksgivings with her nuclear family and friends. “We don’t do anything out of the ordinary,” she said. Mayberry said her family sticks to the classics — baked turkey, stuffing, pies and green bean casserole. She said she usually helps in preparing the green bean casserole, which consists of green beans, cream of mushroom soup and dried unions for a crunchy top layer. Coming from northern Idaho, Leanna Kellogg said her family creates the typical dishes as well. Turkey, ham, homemade stuffing and cranberry jelly from the can. “My mom makes lots of pies like pumpkin and pecan,” Kellogg said. “My favorite is the caramel texture on the bottom of the pecan.” Kellogg said she is bringing home a turkey from the mountains, this year. She is planning on hunting near Coeur d’Alene. “Wild turkey meat is tougher and the majority of the family won’t want it as the main dish but maybe I can cook some up in a crock pot,” she said. She plans on serving a wild turkey as a side dish not intended to compete with the store bought turkey. Those in her family who want to try her wild turkey will have the option if she happens to bag one this year. Bryce Delay can be reached at arg-arts@uidaho.edu
