CAMPUS SAFETY

Three cheers for tiers UI Homecoming Committee creates teir reward system in hopes of increasing participation Brianna Finnegan Argonaut

As Homecoming swiftly approaches, those tasked with planning the many facets of the week-long celebration are working around the clock.

But this year, the Homecoming Committee aims to shake things up in order to increase student participation in competitive events.

“We’ve created basically a tier system, so that the Greek houses can still compete, like they always do, but this year we’ve added two other tiers,” said Mia Goodwin, adviser of the committee.

In the past, Homecoming has been known to draw significantly high numbers of Greek life participants in relation to those living in the dorms or off campus, but those on the committee said it is important for all students to be involved.

“Homecoming is for everyone. It’s for students, it’s for faculty and staff, it’s for alumni, it’s for friends of the university and community members,” Goodwin said. “In the past,

we’ve really only had Greek houses compete. involved with Homecoming, because in past The thing is, it’s always been open, but I don’t years it’s been really hard to get the dorm think that was really expressed or marketed kids involved with it,” said Kael Berkwitt, the marketing and graphic design chair. “A lot of to everyone.”

The University of Idaho has joined with Vitruvian Planning to shed new light on campus safety. Vitruvian Planning, which specializes in public health and safety, receives funds from the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

Chris Danley, who represented Vitruvian Planning during a Wednesday morning presentation, said his firm’s involvement with UI was the next natural step of improving campus safety following the introduction of Green Dot training.

“My impression is that it is a pretty strong and safe campus,” Danley said.

“I don’t have a lot of reason to doubt otherwise. Most of the feelings that have been conveyed to us have underscored that. Having said that, there’s room for improvement.”

Vitruvian’s presentation followed a survey of campus Tuesday night, where students and staff joined the firm in observing potential problem areas.

Danley presented data from a survey on student safety on the UI campus conducted by the National Collegiate Health Association. Less than a quarter — 24.3 percent — of female respondents felt safe traversing the campus at night. That number dropped to 18.1 percent when asked about the perception of safety in the broader Moscow community.

Danley said while survey results are not always reliable sources of data, this particular data set was a point of emphasis on which Virtruvian will base future decisions.

Emilie McLarnan, coordinator of violence prevention programs in the Dean of Students office, said the perception of safety can sometimes play just as large a role as actual safety.

“People’s perception of safety is really important,” she said. “That’s a significant element, how safe do they feel, even if statistically they are unlikely to have anything happen to them. If they don’t feel safe, then we have a problem.”

CAMPUS LIFE

Free food, no questions asked Kali Nelson Argonaut

Every Sunday from August to November, Food not Bombs of the Palouse (FNB) has been giving out a free community meal to Moscow residents.

They gathered at East City Park Sunday at 2 p.m. to set up and start the cooking.

With camp stoves on either end of picnic tables, volunteers with the organization got to work chopping mushrooms, leeks, peppers and onions.

The group filled three tables at East City Park with various food items, cardboard boxes, paper bags and jugs of water.

It took about two hours for the group, but by the end there were two pots of soup, bread pudding for dessert and a salad, all free.

The organization, which gives out free community meals to Moscow residents is aiming to partner with campus groups to expand its reach.

FNB collects food that is close to its sellor use-by date from Safeway or local businesses and gives it to community members said member Henri Sivula.

“We are doing weekly meals, we are working with the Women’s Center, and now

I’ve talked today with the Center for Volunteerism and Social Action, so we hopefully will be working with the Food Pantry at large,” Sivula said.

The group reached out to the Women’s Center to set up a weekly drop off for vegetables, baked goods and sometimes meat.

Sivula said the unofficial motto of FNB is “rich or poor, stoned or sober” because the group does not ask for any justification from people receiving the food.

Sivula said the group agreed to partner with the Women’s Center because of the center’s reputation of being an inclusive organization.

“I said we would do one or two trial runs and see if we could distribute the food because it’s all perishable, and so I was concerned we wouldn’t be able to distribute it in a timely manner, but I said let’s give it a go,” said Lysa Salsbury, director of the Women’s Center.

They agreed to a drop-off date of Tuesday, which will be adhered to each week. Salsbury said the Women’s Center has moved to distributing food on both Tuesday and Thursday.

The food is open for all Moscow community members, Salsbury said. The amount of food and type depends on what Safeway

“So, they delivered a large amount of produce and some baked goods the first time and we just took photographs and distribut-

TECHNOLOGY

Technology and peace The 2018 Borah Symposium will explore technology’s influence on peace and security Hailey Stewart Argonaut

In its 71st year with the University of Idaho, this year’s Borah Symposium will set its sights on modern approaches to securing peace and security Oct. 8 through Oct. 10.

Held every year since 1948, the Borah Foundation and Symposium explores the context of peace and security through honoring former Idaho Senator William Edgar Borah.

This symposium, titled Pax Technologica, meaning “peace through technology,” will feature a keynote address from David E. Sanger, a national security correspondent for The New York Times and a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner 7 p.m., Oct. 8 in the International Ballroom of the Bruce Pitman Center.

Sanger will discuss the theme of his newest book, “The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage and Fear in the Cyber Age.” Other speakers include John Anderson, the head of the UI Virtual Technology and Design Program, who teaches an ISEM 301 course titled “Gaming for Peace.” Jane McGonigal, a game designer and author, will also talk on the role technology plays in the modern world.

Steven Daley-Laursen, co-chair of the Borah Foundation and UI professor of natural resources, said the theme of technology fit this year’s symposium for two reasons: the

influence of technology on society and the increasing relevance of technology on war and peace.

Below is a Q&A with Steven Daley-Laursen and John Anderson.

What makes technology so integral to the peace discussion the symposium tackles each year?

“Technology has altered our prospects and methods of communication for waging peace, and has transformed the way battles are fought and how they are reported and communicated between people and countries. This affects the safety of every person on earth and accentuates our ability to do both good and bad.” — Laursen-Daley “Virtual environments are fantastic tools that can help simulate and model very complex processes of life. They allow people the ability to examine how particular actions can affect the future and can provide positive democratizing effects on decision making. These worlds provide the ability to manipulate and interact with our environment in new ways that allow people the capability to view the world from a variety of scenarios and perspectives.” — Anderson What should attendees expect from attending this year’s symposium?

“Attendees should expect to learn something about the fundamental role of technology in today’s waging of war and peace and also to have some fun. Our first keynoter, Dr. David Sanger, will bring sobering and fascinating insights

into technology’s role in national security and international gamesmanship, and our second keynoter, Dr. Jane McGonigal, will bring brilliant notions and about the technology of gaming can be used effectively to captivate our wondering about and achievement of peace.” — Laursen-Daley How does gaming fit into this year’s symposium?

“Gaming technologies can help people understand potential risks that they may wish to avoid in the future and may provide information in such a way to allow individuals the ability to make decisions potentially against their own immediate self-interests for the benefit of future generations.” — Anderson How have you seen the Borah Symposium change in size and scope?

“I’ve been fascinated and motivated by the symposium for the last sixteen years that I’ve been back at the University of Idaho. I’m so very encouraged by the consistent and enduring mission of the symposium to keep people focused on the possibilities for peace and the promotion and waging of peace. This theme is a personal and professional pursuit of mine, and so the symposium is a good match for my interests and passions and continually encourages me with hope for a peaceful future.” — Laursen-Daley Hailey Stewart can be reached at arg-news@uidaho.edu or on Twitter at @Hailey_ann97

The University of Idaho visual art community is partnering with the Pritchard Art Gallery to host a political display Friday.

For Freedoms’ event is in confluence with the national campaign from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday Oct. 5, at the Art and Architecture North building.

From September to November, concurrent and decentralized public events like this are put on across the country.

For Freedoms events focus on the reflection of multiple voices with the mission to spark a national dialogue focused on art, education, commerce and politics.

For Freedoms was founded in 2016 by artists Hank Willis Thomas and Eric Gottesman, who were inspired by Norman Rockwell’s painting of Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms in 1941.

A fourth-year studying art and design who helped plan the event, Ethan Coy said he sees the initiative as an opportunity to celebrate both the privileges offered in the U.S. as well as to create a conversation others may not be comfortable talking about.

“The group of people who have joined together in getting this project off the ground

have a big passion for activism, like many of our students,” Coy said. “We have an amazing opportunity here because you often see campaigns that are solely art-driven.”

Chelsey Flores, a fourth-year studying graphic design, who also helped plan the event, said she got involved in the For Freedoms because of her long-held passion of art and the role art plays in social change and politics.

“My hope for students is to question their views on voting and how it goes beyond just a day in November,” said Flores. “It affects us all.”

For Freedoms gives artists and designers a chance to make an impact with a voice that is for the people.

Coy hopes the event will help more students become aware and comfortable talking about politics and discourse. People will be able to come together and share their opinions though signs that will be displayed at a public installation.

Beverages will be provided as well as music at the event. A think tank and interactive art experiences such as balloon popping and sign writing will also be present.

Later in the day, there will a safe space talk on the connection between politics and art. All are welcome to the event regardless of major.

The University of Idaho’s free-form radio station, KUOI, is throwing an open house event in celebration of College Radio Day from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday in the KUOI office on the third floor of the Bruce Pitman Center.

KUOI is joining hundreds of colleges across the country in celebration of student-run radio.

Public relations director for KUOI Tru Pierone said she hopes participating in College Radio day will help the station gain recognition.

“Radio is becoming a dated form of streaming and listening to music,” Pierone said. “However, it provides an amazing opportunity for students to get themselves out there and share their unique tastes with the community.”

Broadcasting since 1945, KUOI runs 24/7. Anyone regardless of major can sign up to DJ their own show which will typically run two or three hours a week. KUOI provides news via the Pacific Network and

Democracy Now! Estimated population coverage for KUOI’s 10-mile radius is around 15,000 and can be streamed online. KUOI is a nonprofit and non-commercial educational radio station.

The station is working on a crowdfunding campaign to purchase a new master control board. The current master control board has been used since 2000 and needs to be updated to better suit the needs of KUOI DJs. KUOI has a vast physical collection of media with 67,272 hard copy items, as well over 900,000 songs.

At the open house, students will be able to requests songs to hear over the air, tour the station and learn how to become a DJ. There will also be free CDs available.

“I love being a part of KUOI because it is such a fun environment,” Pierone said. “I love walking through the station and browsing through walls and walls of eclectic music. It’s never ending, and I can always find something new, no matter how old it is.”

ASUI Senate hears project updates ASUI Senate meeting focuses on helping students have better wellbeing on campus.

Ellamae Burnell Argonaut

ASUI President Nicole Skinner updated the Senate on her participation in last night’s survey of campus facilities. Skinner walked a route with over 20 stopping points on campus in collaboration with other community members in consultation with the Virtuvian Planning firm. Throughout the walk groups marked areas where they believed safety alterations could be made through addition of lighting or other alterations.

Clayton King, ASUI lobbyist, said the legislative report card should be ready to roll out by the end of October in time for midterm elections. Nearly all higher education legislation has been graded by University presidents across the state, King said.

Applications have opened for the newly formed ASUI volunteer philanthropy board. The eight-seat board will work on outreach and other tasks for the upcoming

The firm will return within the coming months to discuss further action.Danley said during that time, the firm will find out better ways to work with other entities nearby, such as the state highway department and the City of Moscow to better improve pedestrian traffic. McLarnan urged students and staff to attend Vitruvian’s next visit to Moscow.

“They’ll have an opportunity when they come back and have a chance to voice their opinions about campus safety,” she said. “I think if students are interested in being a part of the next walking sessions, they can reach out to our office.”

These teams will not participate in all the events, but they do participate in most.

The smallest division is called the “Star Garnet Level” these are small groups of six to 14 members which may be just a group of students and their friends.

Teams in this section only participate in half of the events.

This is the first year this tier system is being implemented, but the committee believes this is a step in the right direction.

With this tier system in place, some say students will be competing against teams similar in size to their own.

“There’s an award for every group. They’re all separated. They’re not all competing against each other.” Berkwitt said. “I hope [the student body] is super happy with it. I think it’s more fair across the board. There’s more possibility for smaller groups of people.”

However, getting a wide variety of students to participate in events is much easier said than done.

“We have encountered a lot of work and have been trying to see what will work and what might not work the best.” Jake Milleson, co-chair of the committee, said.

“This will definitely be a learning year for the committee but it’s a step in the right direction, and we can be successful with persistence in years to come.”

Besides the tier system the Homecoming committee is extremely excited for the new theme and small changes to the events themselves.

The event will feature runner up of RuPaul’s Drag Rag season two as well as local performers. The event is free with VandalCard.

Director of Health and Wellness for ASUI, Dasyre Sires, gave an update on the new Vandal Health Coalition. The program has been revamped into three working systems: mental health, overall wellbeing and a marijuana working group in aims of providing students with information, much like alcohol awareness events that take place on campus.

Health and wellness staff created the three systems based on what they felt were the most important issues to look at this time, Sires told the senate.

Ellamae Burnell can be reached at arg-news@uidaho.edu or on Twitter @EllamaeBurnell This year’s theme is “As we were, as we are”, based off of the 1960 edition of the University of Idaho’s “Gem of the Mountains” yearbook collection.

Each team will be assigned a decade of University of Idaho history. In each decade is a significant development for the University of Idaho, such as the building of the Memorial Gymnasium in the 1920’s and the upcoming construction of the Idaho Central Credit Union Arena. From here each team will be competing in events with their decade as a guide.

Some of these events include a photo scavenger hunt, window painting, Yell Like Hell (where students will be meeting in the memorial gym to yell the women’s volley ball team to a win), a food drive, Most Vandalized Fan, Jingles (where students get on stage, sing, and perform skits), campus decorating, and of course the parade. There will also be a blood drive for the week of Homecoming.Students are encouraged to participate even if they are not competing.

There are events like Serpentine, Bonfire, a firework show, Homecoming Royalty, and of course the football game against Southern Utah on Saturday Oct. 20.

A full list of the events, times, and locations will be posted on the committee’s social media accounts on Facebook and Instagram as well as handed out on fliers.

Jon Binninger of Landgrove Coffee explains and describes the selection of coffee available to Moscow Co-op customers.

A Landgrove coffee craze Landgrove coffee brings local and freshly roasted coffee to the Moscow Co-op Meredith Spelbring Argonaut

Moscow is littered with coffee shops and caffeine outlets — from One World right off campus to a selection of Starbucks, both on and off the University of Idaho campus.

About 13 miles away from Moscow is Troy, home to locally owned and roasted Landgrove Coffee.

Jon Binninger and his wife, Hannah, founded Landgrove Coffee in 1998, but Binninger said he entered the coffee world several years prior with his brother. The two opened up a handful of coffee shops, Binninger said, including one in Boise. After several years on the cafe side of coffee, Binninger said he wanted to make the shift to roasting.

“I just wanted to get into the roasting side of it. I met my wife in 1997 and we ended up buying a roaster and just started throwing coffee in there,” he said.

With no internet ‘how-to’ guides or ample resources to get them going, Binninger said he and his wife dove right in, taking the trial-by-error route to teach themselves about the roasting industry.

Now, nearly 21 years later, Landgrove Coffee is featured in coffee hot-spots around town, from the Moscow Co-op to One World. Landgrove is brewed in other cafes and shops across the Palouse and even across the country.

“We are not in danger of getting real rich, but we aren’t starving either,” Binninger said. “It’s been a good company for us. It is working a lot.”

After getting his start in the coffee world

at the forefront of cafes, Binninger said he knows how to operate and run a coffee shop. While the focus of Landgrove is on the roasting and delivery of coffee, Binninger said part of their business is also helping coffee shops with their day-to-day operations and how to best handle and sell Landgrove coffee.

“That has been really well received,” he said of the service Landgrove aims to provide. “I think (it is) one of the reasons why people really like us. And they like dealing with the owners, people like dealing with the owners.”

The three-employee business remains small at its core, something Binninger said is a piece he feels makes the business successful.

“We have never wanted to get real big,” he said. “You go from being a coffee roaster to more of a people manager, which isn’t the direction we wanted to go. We do have one really good employee who takes a lot of the workload off of us. It’s been great.”

Right behind the produce sections lies the bulk aisle, where Landgove coffee and a selection of other beans from across the region and world line the wall for customers to select. Not only is Landgrove coffee a staple of the Co-op coffee selection, but Rachael Guenthner, Co-op Grocery buyer, said Landgrove provides the Co-op with much more than just coffee beans.

Guenthner said Landgrove has put an emphasis on aiding the Co-op in best selling the coffee and supporting the business, from hand-delivering their coffee to the shop to providing the coffee grinders during the Co-op’s remodel.

“They really do provide the best service that they can to our customer base as well as their own,” Guenthner said. “I would definitely say that (it is a really hands on relationship) and they really appreciate their

In a coffee-crazed world, Binninger said people are easily hung-up on the knit-picky details of brewing the perfect cup of coffee.

“People go a little off the charts,” Binninger said. “Be relaxed about it, use good water, 200-degree, good quality water. Fresh coffee and then just try to keep your brew timer 3-4 minutes no matter what it is.”

COMMUNITY

Celebrating activism with art Clyde McCaw Argonaut

The American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho is celebrating 25 years of serving the state by creating a mural in Idaho Falls, Garden City and Moscow, conceptualizing civic activism and civil rights.

Moscow’s grant-funded mural is being created by a team of local artists and will be placed on a portion of the Moscow Hotel in downtown.

“Moscow was a great fit due to public support, as well as the Human Rights Commission that has also been around for 25 years,” said Kevin Kelpe, special projects manager and University of Idaho alumnus.

A call to action was released by the ACLU of Idaho in August, asking for Moscow artists to submit work.

There were five finalists who were

given a $200 stipend to come up with a site specific plan, chosen by a local committe.

The committee consisted of Carly Lilly and George Skandalos, co-owners of the Moscow Hotel, Sangria Grille and Maialina Pizzeria Napoletana, as well as Kathleen Burns, the City of Moscow Public Art director.

“Of the five artists we scored proposals based on the concept, technical ability, and how the work fit the project goal,” Kelpe said.

Moscow resident Karen Rohn, a local art teacher, and Shogo Ota, a UI graudate, were the team the committee selected to create the mural.

Production of the mural began Monday, and Ota said he hopes to complete the mural by mid-October.

A rendering of the project was shown Sept. 18 during the kickoff

reception. The overall vision of the mural is to portray togetherness and the power people can have when they work together, he said.

“I hope people can see this and appreciate the theme. I hope people can come together and if they want to come together to spread a positive message they can,” Ota said.

The ACLU of Idaho’s Facebook page will be regularly updated with project information and press releases as the mural progresses in all selected cities. The ACLU of Idaho website, as well as the Moscow Department of Public Art website, will provide additional information on the project for those interested.

French for the evening Kenworthy Centre hosts 9th annual Palouse French Film Festival Clyde McCaw Argonaut

University of Idaho and Washington State University students, as well as residents from the surrounding areas, can enjoy French films Tuesdays throughout October at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre.

The series, sponsored by UI and WSU, is a part of the 9th annual Palouse French Film Festival, which started in 2010. Tickets are $5 per film, $10 for a festival pass or free admission for UI and WSU students.

The festival began Tuesday with an opening reception, where attendees enjoyed wine, cheese and meats before the showing of the film “Ce Qui Nous Lie.” Sarah Nelson, a UI associate professor of French, worked with Sabine Davis, a WSU associate professor of French, to bring the festival back with the help of the Kenworthy and several local donors.

“We keep track of who comes, whether it’s students or community members and it seems like it’s always right about 40 percent students and 60 percent community members,” Nelson said. “It’s a great event that brings people together.”

Sere Previto, an Italian and Spanish professor at WSU, was at Tuesday’s film. She has attended the festival for many years and recommends people to view these films.

“The movies are great and people need to watch movies from other countries to understand another type of sensitivity that other people have

Tuesday’s film, “Ce Qui Nous Lie” (Back to Burgundy), is a drama and comedy, showcasing three siblings and their father’s vineyard. One of the siblings comes back after 10 years due to their father’s death.

On Oct. 9, “La Fille Inconnue” (The Unknown Girl) will show. The film is a drama following a female doctor who is determined to identify a dead woman after learning she died while ringing the doorbell at the hospital where she worked.

“Rodin” will show Oct. 16 and is set in France during 1880. The romantic drama is about Rodin, a famous French sculptor, and his romance with a student, Camille Claudel.

“We’re always looking for some-

thing light-hearted to end the festival on an up note and we definitely got one,” Nelson said.

The festival will end Oct. 23 with “C’est Quoi Cette Famille?!” (We Are Family), a comedic take on French family life. Bastien has seven half- and step-siblings from four different sets of parents.

He never knows where he is going to stay, which he soon grows tired of and starts a revolution, putting the children in charge of where they stay.

“Everybody should come to talk about the movies and compare it with our culture,” Previto said. “It is important to see our culture from the perspective of another and if we can learn from them, it can enrich our world.”

Short on support

special report

Kaitlyn Krasselt Argonaut

A Moscow woman spent years wrapping herself and her car in tin foil, battling police and convincing herself the government was spying on her through her electronics and wall sockets. She often would live in her car to escape the paranoia.

Lt. Paul Kwiatkowski of the Moscow Police Department remembers the woman, diagnosed paranoid-schizophrenic, and said when she had her illness under control she was a productive and reasonable member of society. But when she wasn’t,

Moscow police spent hours responding to mental health crisis calls for the woman.

“When she was on her meds, she was one of the most productive people I’ve ever met,” Kwiatkowski said. “But when you’re battling that type of illness, it’s a cycle. Often we see people who take their medication and think they’re healed so they stop taking it, then it’s just a downhill slide.”

Cases like this have become more common in the Moscow area in recent years, after statewide support for mental health was reduced in the early 2000s, and again following the 2009 economic recession. The decline in support caused the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) to reduce statewide services for adult mental health patients, according to Ross Edmunds, administrator for behavioral health for the IDHW. Kwiatkowski said what used to be only 12 or 13 cases a year turned into 50 or more calls related to mental health crises, not including calls related to suicide and depression. Kwiatkowski said the department struggles to keep up with the demand for assistance in such cases.

This problem — the struggle to meet the growing demand for mental health resources — is one that plagues the community, as well as the University of Idaho and the rest of the state, and is one that won’t be easy to solve as need continues to increase.

Paul Kwiatkowski, Moscow Police Lt.

Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter requested $1.52 million in state funding to start a second mental health crisis center in the northern part of the state to complement the one that already exists in Idaho Falls. Ultimately, it is Otter’s goal to have a crisis center in all seven regions of Idaho.

Idaho lawmakers on both sides of the isle supported Otter’s request and appropriated $1.72 million for a North Idaho crisis center expected to open in Coeur d’Alene within six months.

“This is the state’s first large general fund investment in behavioral health in a number of years,” Edmunds said.

Edmunds said the behavioral health board for Region 2 (the five-county area that includes Moscow and Latah County) wrote a letter in support of the crisis center’s Coeur d’Alene location because although it is a different region, the city had already been working toward a plan for a mental health crisis center.

Funding mental health This year, for the first time since the economic downturn that led to budget cuts in every department, the state made an investment in improving mental health services.

When a crisis arises Kaitlyn Krasselt “The thing is, they’re not a Argonaut criminal,” Kwiatkowski said.

Moscow police respond to a “They’re a patient. They’re in crisis, call of someone acting strangely they might be hearing voices or be — wrapping themselves in tin in a state of paranoia, and it’s scary for them.

to themself? Are they an imminent danger to others? Or are they gravely disabled, meaning they cannot currently take care of their daily needs?

Kwiatkowski said if the answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” the person is taken into custody.

Once taken into custody, patients are transported to Gritman Medical Center, where they undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

trip to the hospital — officers write a probable cause affidavit to hold patients for 24-72 hours in a hospital for evaluation and care.

According to Gritman spokesman Eric Hollenbeck, the hospital hopes to add mental health and psychiatric services through a partnership in a new building they plan to construct at the corner of Jackson and South Main Streets.

But as of now, Gritman does not offer psychiatric services other than an emergency evaluation. As a result, the hospital is prohibited by law from housing mental health

patients for the 24-72 hour period following the initial evaluation.

So, patients are placed back in the hands of Moscow police officers, who are responsible for transporting them to St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, or if St. Joseph’s is full, to Kootenai Medical Center in Coeur d’Alene.

Officers are also responsible for returning to retrieve patients at the end of their holding period.

A state of emergency was declared in Baltimore earlier this week following the funeral of Freddie Gray, who died in police custody in April.

It was one uprising in a series of several that have caught the attention of the nation since Michael Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson last August.

The events have brought national attention to a slew of issues, but one discussion that’s been pushed to the front of mainstream talking points is the use of body cameras by police officers.

The debate has prompted police departments nationwide to examine their own programs, and while many more agencies are moving forward with updated technologies, University of Idaho law professor Don Burnett said body cameras on police officers is not a new idea.

“The technology has been evolving for some time,” Burnett said. “Certainly highly publicized incidents have given greater public

administRation

visibility to the issue, but my impression is that law enforcement agencies have been studying this and not simply being spurred on by highly publicized events.”

This is certainly true on the Palouse, where body cameras have been on the radar of both the Pullman and Moscow police departments for several years. While the Pullman Police Department (PPD) has utilized body camera systems for a few years already, the Moscow Police Department (MPD) is in the early stages of planning for implementation.

Criminal defense attorney Steve Martonick said he knows the value

of good audiovisual technology from a police department when it comes to judicial proceedings.

“You just get so much from video you don’t get from audio,” Martonick said. “If the officer’s looking through the trunk, with just audio, you can’t see what he’s pulling out or where he’s looking, you just hear audio saying, ‘That’s mine, no, that’s not mine and you wouldn’t have a clue’ — video’s got a huge advantage.”

Martonick said he recalls a time when Pullman police officers were occasionally more aggressive. In the last decade, he’s defended a student who was pepper sprayed

in his driveway following a noise complaint, as well as a student who was tased after refusing to sit on the ground following an incident of vandalism, he said.

Martonick said he thinks the largest-scale incident happened in 2007, when police officers used pepper spray in a Pullman dance club, affecting approximately 300 people and resulting in a $22 million class action lawsuit. The officers were ultimately cleared of all civil-rights violations and issued an apology to all innocent victims, he said.

T

he biggest flaw in any student government organization, ASUI President Nate Fisher said, is the high rate of turnover.

“Year in and year out, any sort of momentum is always difficult,” Fisher said. “If I had another year, I could accomplish even more.”

Over the last year, the Fisher administration has made headway on issues such as sexual assault prevention and establishing an Idaho Student Association.

Fisher said another term as ASUI president would give him more time to tackle issues such as redistricting ASUI and managing student space.

The most interesting development in the Fisher administration, however, is Fisher himself. In the year since he took office, those who followed ASUI saw the incumbent grow from an eager and bright-eyed senator to a measured leader.

“I was confident in my leadership and communication abilities before this year, but the development that I’ve had to do has been an incredible experience and opportunity,” Fisher said.

According to Fisher, working continuously with

SUI Director of Diversity Affairs Alejandra “Vivi” Gonzalez never planned on running for ASUI President.

“I was encouraged by a lot of my peers in a lot of the offices that I work with,” Gonzalez said. “They encouraged me to run — they saw the potential in me.”

Running for ASUI president was another door that opened for Gonzalez and she made the bold decision to step through — something she, as a bright, firstgeneration student from a conservative small town in Idaho, is getting used to doing.

“I’ve been very lucky in my career and in my journey through higher education,” Gonzalez said.

“I’ve used all the resources available, taken all the opportunities I was given, and that’s gotten me very far.”

This wasn’t always the case, Gonzalez said. In high school, she said Idaho’s notoriously under-funded education system let her down, along with all the overcrowded classrooms, overworked teachers and outdated materials that came with it.

Gonzalez said her parents recognized the same issues she faced in high school affecting her 17-year-

n the structure of ASUI, the senate parliamentarian is unequivocally the lowest rung on the ladder, University of Idaho senior Max Cowan said.

The job description includes printing the senate agenda, hole punching it, distributing it to the senators before their weekly meeting, recording the minutes, dotting i’s and crossing t’s. The job is essentially the secretary of the senate.

While a more anonymous role in the senate than what he may be used to, it’s far from a fall from grace for the former ASUI president. Cowan, who was president for the 2013-14 school year, said almost a year ago exactly that he would not seek reelection, would not return to ASUI and his talents would be better utilized elsewhere.

What changed?

“To be frank, the job is difficult,” Cowan said. “It’s not a fun job. It’s incredibly rewarding, it’s very exciting, but it can be tiring. I decided not to rerun, but now, after spending that year and gaining perspective, I recognize that there’s more that needs to be accomplished and that I want to share the message that ASUI can be there for students. We can actually be addressing things that matter.”

diversity

Vandals teach tolerance UI students come together to learn about oppression Katrina Hicks Argonaut

The University of Idaho is a place to embrace diversity through awareness and understanding of the struggles our peers face every day, said Julia Keleher, director of the LGBTQA Office.

Boxes and Walls, a UI event promoting such qualities, is a way for students to experience the discrimination others may feel firsthand in a safe and educational environment.

Keleher said it’s an event meant to teach students about what it means to empathize.

“Boxes and Walls is an interactive display on oppression and discrimination,” Keleher said.

Boxes and Walls will take place from 1-7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, on the first floor of Gooding Hall in the Wallace Complex. According to Keleher, there will be 18 rooms open for the event and each of which will contain a student-made environment illustrating a specific discriminatory issue. For example, a heterosexual student could enter a room and learn about the struggles a bisexual student may face — a feeling they would never be able to experience on their own.

idaho legislature

Sen. Dan Johnson, R-Lewiston, motioned to send the budget with a “do-pass” to the House and Senate floors for approval. He said the four-year WWAMI program is a “good partnership” with the University of Washington.

“It benefits Idaho students primarily that they get to spend more time at home in Idaho, and I think that increases the possibility … to come back to Idaho and practice, so I am very excited by that,” Johnson said.

According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, Idaho is 49th in the U.S. for the number of doctors per capita, and more medical practitioners are expected to retire in the coming years.

Rep. Jason Monks, R-Meridian, was the lone legislator to reject the budget. He said since 1975, only 50 percent of WWAMI students have

BOISE — The Joint Finance and Appropriation Committee (JFAC) approved funding for five additional seats to be added to the WWAMI program for Idaho medical students Friday morning with a 19-1 vote.

By approving the budget recommendation, JFAC fulfills year three of a four-year plan to fund five additional WWAMI seats available to Idaho students annually. The plan was first introduced in 2009, when the Idaho State Board of Education (SBOE) recommended doubling state funded WWAMI seats from 20 to 40.

Storey, who was in a sorority when she was an undergraduate at the University of Idaho, said she first became a house director because she was looking for a way to give back to the system that supported her as a student.

“I moved out of the area for about 45 years, and when I returned there

the need for a tuition and fee increase and said the additional funds would be used primarily to fund a 3 percent increase in Change in Employee Compensation (CEC). Staben said the additional funds would be used to fund employee medical benefits and obligated costs.

UI in-state students will see their tuition and fees rise by $236 this fall, while out-of-state students will see it rise by $710.

ASUI President Nate Fisher, who helped Staben present to the board, said students were involved throughout the budget process and he thinks the increase is reasonable.

“This is something students can and should support,” Fisher said.

During his address to the

board, Staben said employee salaries are the biggest expense and the biggest budget challenge for the university this year.

Like many other schools around the state and across the nation, UI has seen a significant decrease in state funding. In 2001, 73 percent of the General Education Budget came from the state, as opposed to 50 percent this year.

“While we continuously seek means of containing costs, students have had to pay a larger share of the cost of education across the nation,” Staben said.

Staben said funding the 3 percent CEC mandated

by Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter was the biggest challenge in this year’s budget.

“The other 50 percent ... has to come from a dedicated fund, and that dedicated fund is tuition,” Staben said. “We’re asking the legislature to fully fund this ‘salary gap.’ If you do, our plan is to not raise resident undergraduate tuition this year.”

As an alternate to this increase in tuition, Staben asked the committee to consider a ‘fund

shift,’ which entails payment of the salary gap through Idaho’s general fund. The salary gap not covered by the CEC recommendation is equal to about $1.6 million, according to Staben.

Should the legislature choose to fund the 3 percent CEC increase with the state general fund, but refuse the fund shift, Staben estimated tuition could increase by 4 to 4.5 percent for resident undergraduate students.

ASUI President Nate Fisher said he could describe his second in command, ASUI Vice President Sarah Vetsmany, in just one word — genuine.

Fisher, who befriended Vetsmany through their mutual involvement in ASUI, said the University of Idaho senior is not only a capable leader, but also serves as a strong voice for the student senate.

“She stands out daily,” Fisher said. “Sarah is one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. She takes on so much responsibility but regardless of how busy she is, she always makes others feel like she has all the time in the world to talk and to make them feel comfortable.”

Vetsmany, a Boise native, said she was first introduced to UI by her cousin, an alumna, and has been actively involved in campus life ever since.

Although she was originally torn between UI and neighboring Washington State University, a campus visit quickly changed her mind, she said.

The UI Student Health Center, although tentatively scheduled to reopen on campus after winter break, will remain at its current downtown location for the time being, said Greg Tatham, assistant vice provost for Student Affairs.

According to Raymond Pankopf, director of Architectural and Engineering Services, delays in construction for the building’s repiping project initially pushed the opening date back to Feb. 2.

However, in the wake of the Jan. 10 shooting that left three dead and one wounded — including UI Student Health physician Terri Grzebielski — the clinic is too understaffed to reopen.

Tatham said with one of their three physicians gone and another about to go on maternity leave, Student Health Services elected to continue its operations out of the downtown location until another physician can be recruited.

“We can’t run the operation with one provider,” Tatham said.

“If we keep it downtown, there are additional physicians.”

According to Tatham, there’s little rush to move back to campus.

The best fundraising campaigns are the ones that continue to give, said Chris Lucier, senior director of advancement at the University of Idaho.

He said, for example, if a university is pulling in $15 million a year before a campaign, fundraising efforts to double donations won’t make $30 million a onetime number — it’s likely that goal would become the university’s new standard.

Lucier said he believes this will prove to be the case for the Inspiring Futures campaign, a 7 1/2 year effort to raise $225 million, more than any fundraiser in state history. The campaign officially ended Dec. 31, and Lucier said it raised upwards of $261 million.

“These campaigns are such a long-term view, and we continue to raise additional scholarships, new legacies and new standards,” Lucier said. “Students have been seeing the impacts, as it goes along with scholarship programs and buildings that were a result of the campaign.”

According to a university report, approximately 35 percent of the funds raised will go to student support, 26 percent to faculty support, 26 percent to programs and 13 percent to facilities.

GAMING

30,000 swift steps to success

Ninth annual Vandal Overnight provides unique gaming experience at UI Max Rothenberg Argonaut

Jacob Flynn’s smartwatch typically reads 30,000 steps by the time Vandal Overnight Games ends. This Saturday will be no different.

The 9th annual Vandal Overnight Games, hosted by ITS and marketed as “the largest community gaming event at University of Idaho and on the Palouse,” will run Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. in the Bruce Pitman Center.

Flynn, the event’s co-founder and Information Technology Services (ITS) essential services lead, said he helps put out “fires” and makes sure the many different activities run smoothly throughout the day.

The event is free and open to the general public, and full-time UI students in attendance can win a $1,000 scholarship.

There are a number of new activities, including Quidditch scrimmages and an escape room, hosted by the Lewiston-based Just In Time Escape Rooms.

Flynn said the escape room takes place outside in a bus, and involves up to eight people solving a

murder mystery.

“I haven’t done it myself — I really just hope I can find 30 minutes at some point to run it,” Flynn said.

While the event has previously been held in the Idaho Commons, Flynn said the venue change was necessary.

“Every year we’re asked about how many people attend the event, and we always have to estimate,” Flynn said. “Ultimately there’s 15 entrances to the Commons, and when we count 500 to 600 wristbands and 1200 meals, we have to find some average in there. Meanwhile, the Pitman Center has three, which makes it much easier to track and give us an accurate count.”

Square footage remains approximately the same, and Flynn said while it took time to redesign the layout, there is more than enough space to accommodate the various activities.

Additionally, he said student feedback had a tendency to voice confusion on where to find different activities.

“We consistently hear, ‘I don’t know where to find anything, I can’t find stuff to do,’” Flynn said.

“That’s because we’re on the fourth floor, third floor, TLC, all over the place. Being able to have everything mostly on the same floor will really help attendees find what

is going on.”

Flynn said food was initially a concern as well, since the Pitman Center lacks a food court. However, ITS is providing much of the same free food for the event, and students can expect a variety of options.

The Moscow-based Palouse Board Gamers will also be in attendance, providing more than 200 games for anyone, either by themselves or part of a group, to play for free.

Club founder Sherri Haight said the board games offer a more tactile experience for those interested, and club members will be on hand to answer questions.

“Even a video gamer is going to get a very different experience here,” she said. “A lot of us don’t enjoy online board games, since even if you’re playing against another person, you’re not getting that faceto-face, tactile experience.”

Haight founded the club in 2006, and said she always looks forward to meeting new members and figuring out what games they enjoy.

Palouse Board Gamers meets every week at Shari’s and typically attracts up to 30 members, with many bringing their own games.

“For many years, my games were the club’s only options,” Haight said.

“Now we have so many enthusiastic

people who bring their own games.

Some of these are so expensive, I’m really proud they’re all dedicated enough to risk their property that way.”

She said there are games for every possible mood and situation — games that can be played in 10 minutes or over the course of six hours. Additionally, she said the club always tries to include a mix of hot, new games and older classics for those unfamiliar with board games.

“I don’t want anyone to feel intimidated — we’re in the golden age of board games,” Haight said.

“There’s such a plethora of wonderfully designed games for all player groups. Even though they might seem expensive, you’re getting a great experience that will last for years and years.”

Other Vandal Overnight activities include virtual reality booths, karaoke and a variety of video game tournaments — League of Legends, Dota 2, Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart.

“When you find a game you like, you’re locking in years of great experiences with you and your friends — it’s worth a look to find something, anything,” Haight said.

VOLLEYBALL PREVIEW

A return to Memorial Gym Jonah Baker Argonaut

In a long-awaited return home, Idaho volleyball will have a pair of tough challenges in front of it.

The Vandals (8-8, BSC 2-2) will take on Sacramento State and Portland State in their first home conference matches of the season. The match against Sacramento State will be Idaho’s first in the Memorial Gym since Aug. 25.

The Hornets (8-10, BSC 3-1) come to Moscow riding a three-match winning streak and pose a unique challenge to an Idaho team that is trending in the opposite direction. In their previous two matches — both losses — the Vandals were out-blocked and remarkably error-prone. Sacramento State is

FOOTBALL POWER RANKINGS

Big Sky power rankings: Week 6 keep a team under 20 points, but time will tell if they can climb the ranks.

Brandon Hill Argonaut

Idaho (+1)

UC Davis

The Aggies maintain their top spot thanks to a bye. An upcoming matchup with Northern Colorado will likely keep UC Davis atop the list for another week.

Montana

A pure thumping of Cal Poly showcased the offensive prowess of Montana not yet unleashed this season. A three-touchdown performance by quarterback Dalton Sneed should make future opponents nervous.

Eastern Washington

The Eagles took care of business against Montana State, as expected. With 511 yards of total offense in Week 5, Eastern Washington should easily fly past Southern Utah next week.

Weber State

The Wildcats escaped this week with a bye. Next week, Weber State should prevail against a struggling Northern Arizona.

Idaho State (+3)

The biggest surprise of the season, the Bengals have steadily gained steam. With the team’s first 50-point performance of the year, it seems Idaho State’s offense finally arrived. Defensively, the Bengals have yet to

While Idaho State has defied expectations, the Vandals have underwhelmed the Moscow faithful five games in. Winning record aside, Idaho has not established itself as dominant in a conference game, barely scraping by a dismal Portland State team 20-7. If Idaho can dominate the Bengals next week, it might finally be taken seriously in the Big Sky.

Sacramento State (-1)

While the Hornets may not have taken the field this week, their 2-2 record, coupled with a blowout loss to Montana last week, just doesn’t hold up when compared with the two wins earned this week by Idaho teams.

Montana State (-3)

Quarterback changes are in the air, as both of the Bobcats’ signal callers failed to maintain any kind of momentum against Eastern Washington. Troy Anderson carried most of the load Saturday, but an 0-2 touchdown-to-interception rate does not bode well for the future.

Northern Arizona

The Lumberjacks took advantage of an undersized Idaho State defense, notching 42

A win against Portland State keeps Idaho afloat in this week’s Big Sky rankings

points in a shootout. However, giving up 56 points will not help Northern Arizona climb to the top any time soon.

Southern Utah

The Thunderbirds may be better than their 0-4 record indicates, but if they can’t secure a win over Eastern Washington next week, their season will all but evaporate.

Northern Colorado

Northern Colorado was overpowered by North Dakota last week 38-13, and an upcoming game against UC Davis will likely result in an 0-6 record to start the season, further tanking their rank.

Cal Poly (+1)

A loss to Montana was all but expected over the weekend, but the Mustangs still managed 28 points against a staunch Grizzly defense.

Portland State (-1)

The Vikings’ lone win against the College of Idaho, an NAIA team, speaks volumes.

The team has yet to secure a win in the FCS for two years and Saturday’s performance against a sluggish Idaho offense further exemplifies the team’s inability to compete in the Big Sky. Brandon Hill can be reached at arg-sports@uidaho.edu

CROSS-COUNTRY

Mastering the competition Idaho women take the victory, men take second Meredith Spelbring Argonaut

Idaho women’s cross-country took home the victory, while the men took second at the Montana Invitational in Missoula Sept. 28.

The women grabbed the victory over six other Division I competitors, including three Big Sky squads, to finish with a score of 20.

The men’s squad was the top Big Sky team, taking down Montana State, Montana and Eastern Washington. The men fell to Gonzaga, ranked eighth in the West Region ahead of the invitational. The Gonzaga men won with 15 points, taking the first through eighth top places in the men’s 8k.

Senior Skylar Ovnicek led the way in ninth place with a time of 25:32.40.

Junior Fabian Cardenas finished in 11th with a time of 25:40.50, followed closely by sophomore Michael McCausland in 12th with a 25:40.80.

Junior Dwain Stucker took 17th overall with a 25:51.00. Junior Grayson Ollar rounded out the competition for the Vandals with a time of 25:51.40.

The women took the team victory; Junior Kara Story led the women, grabbing the individual victory in the women’s 5k. Story took the win with a time of 18:05.60, almost a full 12 seconds ahead of the closest competition. Senior Andrea Condie took second overall with a time of 18:17.50.

Sophomore Malaina Thacker placed third with a time of 18:31.20.

Senior Erin Hagen and sophomore Faith Dilmore took sixth (18:46.60) and eighth (18:57.90), respectively.

Idaho will take a few weeks off before traveling south to the Bronco Invitational Oct. 13 in Santa Clara, California.

@VANDALNATION TWEETS OF THE WEEK

The Vandal Nation staff predicts the outcome of the Idaho soccer match versus conference foe Eastern Washington .

Meredith Spelbring — Idaho wins 2-1 Despite a recent skid, Idaho has held serious momentum with head coach Jeremy Clevenger and the senior-packed roster. With the added momentum from home turf, Idaho will pull this one out over Eastern Washington and run away with the win.

Meredith Spelbring Argonaut

Brandon Hill — Eastern Washington wins 2-1 Rivalry games are always a knock-out-drag-out fight and this one will be no different. Unfortunately for the Vandals, Eastern Washington will come in with firepower, ready to avenge their loss last weekend and their loss to Idaho last season.

@masonpetrino7 Thank you to Mr. Hilinski for taking time out of his schedule to speak to us. Your strength and courage last night inspired us all. We promise to continue the discussion of prioritizing mental health. You guys will always be in our prayers @HilinskisHope —The father of Tyler Hilinski visited Idaho this past week to discuss issues on mental health, making an impact on many Vandals.

@NCAA_FCS #4 FCS PLAY OF THE WEEK Featuring: @VandalFootball BLOCKED punt and a return for a TD!

Brandon Hill Argonaut

—Idaho takes home the fourth-best play of the week with a blocked punt for a touchdown during Saturday’s game.

Chris Deremer — Idaho wins 1-0 With a perfect record this season in the Dome, expect Idaho to come away with another home victory this season.

This game will be an absolute grinder with the two Big Sky foes, but the Vandals will prevail against an Eagles team that struggles playing on the road.

@VandalFootball Jeff Cotton is one of two players in the country to catch a TD in each of his team’s first four games. #GoVandals — Idaho hopes to win big in the upcoming matches in the early weeks of the season.

Chris Deremer Argonaut

Jonah Baker — Idaho wins 2-1

@KellyDopke

The Vandals are yet to lose at home this season, and Sunday’s matchup could be another opportunity to add to that record. Idaho’s defense should be able to stifle an Eastern Washington attack that has trouble scoring goals.

OUR VIEW

Everyone’s responsibility Voting isn’t just a right, it’s a responsibility Current political affairs are dividing the United States — that much is nearly inarguable.

Those who support President Donald Trump and the GOP seem to be in a constant battle with those who do not, and vice versa.

Those who do not support the 45th president likely carry a long list of complaints and points to give as to why the president is a bad politician or why it is time for talks of impeachment.

Those who fall in that group and are millennials must keep their list of gripes and complaints in mind as another cycle of elec-

tions quickly approaches.

Only 50 percent of millennials — people ages 18 to 35 — turned out to vote in the 2016 election, according to the Pew Research Center. The minimal turnout instantly silenced their democratic voices.

The U.S. Census states there were 83.1 million millennials in 2015. Given that information, roughly 41 million millennials neglected to cast a vote in the most important election in the country, 41 million voices not utilized in a crucial decision.

Maybe that is just 41 million votes for Trump. Regardless of political affiliation, in 2016 there were over 41 million voices unheard.

The right to vote and participate in the democratic process is one people fought hard for. In some countries, people might be fighting forever. It is a right those who came before fought for, yet it is a right many give up election after election.

Midterm elections are Nov. 6. In the next 33 days, voters in Idaho will prepare to vote for candidates vying for positions from district judges to governor.

While it can be easy for students to get wrapped up in the day-to-day of being a student, or simply overwhelmed by the political unrest flooding the news, it is important to be a part of the conversation, regardless of political stance.

For those who are not already registered to vote, there are plenty of options. Idaho residents can register to vote online. Students can go to uidaho.turbovote.org.

The current political climate has gotten so heated it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the thought of keeping up with the news, let alone diving into the political scene.

But that doesn’t mean it is not part of everyone’s civic duty, including students. It is not who you vote for that counts — it’s that you vote in the first place.

This November, don’t be part of the 41 million not using their voice.

Q&

A CHAT WITH THE ONES WHO KNOW BEST

Nicole Skinner ASUI President

In what ways do you encourage students to get out and vote?

This year the Department of Student Involvement is hosting a Party at the Polls, which will be a community-wide event close to the polling location — Latah County Fair Exhibit Building — with free food, entertainment, live music, games and more.

ASUI Student Government is participating in voter registration drives hosted by the Center for Volunteerism and Social Action. The Student Government is also curating a higher education legislator report card that we hope to use as a voter turnout and voter education tool. We’re attempting to be ambassadors for civic engagement in every way possible.

What advice do you have for students looking to research candidates?

I personally think open forums are the best way to learn about candidates because it allows you to interact with them but. If that’s not an option, I would suggest that students browse candidates’ websites and social media platforms or use a website like ballotready.org that compiles information about candidates.

What advice do you have for students looking to engage more in politics at the local or university level?

Students should make sure to check their student emails so that they can vote through the ASUI voting ballots for the fall and spring elections. Participating in local politics is very easy as well – you just need to register to vote, remain updated on when elections are happening, and educate yourself on the candidates. There are many resources that make it even simpler.

Where can students go to register?

University of Idaho students can register to vote and get election reminders at uidaho.turbovote.org.

I love TurboVote because it contacts you when there is an election coming up in your district so it’s an easy way to stay updated.

Why do you think voter apathy is prevalent among young people?

A lot of young people feel like their vote doesn’t count and I understand why. It’s difficult to feel like individual votes matter in national elections, but it’s still so important to vote. They don’t realize that local elections are often won by around ten votes and that individual votes make a big difference in those outcomes.

What changes do you think young people are looking for in their representatives?

In my perspective, young people are looking for candidates to be excited about. They’re tired of candidates who play games or are dishonest about their motives. They want to vote for people who will unapologetically, enthusiastically advocate for them and they aren’t afraid to make that clear.

Millennials: killers of culture What’s next on the very long list of things killed by our most-blamed generation?

Big shocker, millennials took another hit last week.

According to Bloomberg, the widelyberated generation has caused the divorce rate to plummet, due to both waiting for financial stability and class inequality pushing marriage toward a luxury for the rich.

Regardless of true cause, millennials have received plenty of heat for ruining almost every pillar of society — from mortgages to golf and even wine corks.

This kind of generational behavior makes it enticing to guess which parts of everyday life millennials could ruin next with their penchants for juice bars and sustainably sourced clothing.

Dreams Don’t be fooled, I don’t mean the kind of aspirations that constitute careers.

Generational labeling We are clearly running out of ideas for naming generations, with generations X, Y and Z being the best that we could muster for the past 40 years. In addition to the dearth of clever monikers, the term “millennial” has been beaten into the ground through constant media exposure. It seems unlikely that future generations would want any sort of term to group them together at risk of being admonished for every possible failing in society.
