Enrollment down again UI sees enrollment slip but an increase with in-state freshman students Ryan Tarinelli Argonaut
The UI campus has a tight-knit community of veterans, and Torres said he has become close with many people since he started spending time at the Office of Veterans Assistance. “It’s somewhere you can hide out and be away from the hustle and bustle of people,” Torres said. “It’s a little slice of heaven.” Torres said he often spends time in the veterans office working on homework or talking to other veterans. Cole Julson, who served in the Marines, said he has made many friends with other veterans on campus through the veterans office and through joining other organizations, such as the Veterans of Foreign War (VFW). “There are just some things that are way easier to talk to those guys about because they were there with me,” Julson said.
Overall enrollment at the University of Idaho is down this semester, partially due to a decrease in transfer students, said Jean Kim, vice provost for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management. “It didn’t strike me as a surprise that the transfer (student) market was down,” Kim said. UI reported a 1.4 percent decline in overall student enrollment this semester compared to fall 2014, according to a university statement released Friday. The decline brings UI’s overall student enrollment to 11,372, down from 11,534 students last fall. Despite the overall slip, UI saw a 1.2 percent increase in enrollment of in-state undergraduate freshman this semester. UI also reported an increase in international student enrollment and duel-credit student enrollment. “I think we’re headed in the right direction,” Kim said. “We’ve sort of stabilized the ship.” Kim said administrators will use this year’s enrollment numbers as a baseline going forward as they work toward President Chuck Staben’s goal of doubling student enrollment in 10 years. “I am very optimistic that we can make progress toward that,” Kim said of the goal. To increase transfer student enrollment, Kim said UI started the VandaLink program, which encourages students at Idaho community colleges to continue their education at UI. VandaLink has been established at College of Western Idaho, North Idaho College and College of Southern Idaho, Kim said. VandaLink, she said, will have an impact on future enrollment numbers and will ensure a stronger connection between UI and Idaho’s community colleges.

Members of the University of Idaho Army ROTC present the colors for the National Anthem before kick-off at a Vandals game in 2011 for Military Appreciation Day. The Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony will start at 11:11 a.m. Wednesday at the Memorial Gym.
To those who served Veterans Day provides a time to honor those who have served our country Jessica Gee Argonaut
Although the forecast calls for showers, the weather won’t matter during the wreath-laying ceremony outside the front steps of the Memorial Gym Wednesday. The Veterans Day ceremony, set for 11:11 a.m. sharp, will honor and recognize all those who have served in the U.S. military. Julson “We do that because we know that Veterans have served all over the world in all kinds of temperature and climate extremes and they have fought and died in those same extremes,” said Daniel Button, University of Idaho veterans
adviser. “We believe that it is only appropriate for us to conduct the ceremony outside regardless of the elements of the weather.” Button said during the five years he has been at UI, he has been continuously involved with coordinating and advertising Veterans Day events. Veteran Aaron Torres said he will likely be spending Veterans Day working on homework. Torres, 25, said he served in the U.S. Army for four years and now is hoping to get his degree in business. “I don’t like to think of it as just being my day,” Torres Hopman said of Veterans Day. “It’s for all of the brothers and sisters who have done their service for the country.” Torres said he was deployed to Iraq during his time in the Army and was a part of the Airborne Infantry.

Securing a union ASUI Senate pushes to change name of commons to reflect current use Nishant Mohan Argonaut
If it’s used like a student union, paid for like a student union and run like a student union, it is probably a student union. That’s the opinion of ASUI Sen. Brianna Larsen, co-sponsor of a resolution that ASUI Senate passed last month to change the name of the Idaho Commons Building to the Idaho Commons and Union Building. Larsen said the name change was an appropriate response to functional changes that have occurred over time since the building of the commons in 2004. “The commons already functions as a student space,” Larsen said. “All that’s missing is a lounge and a name.” Additionally, Larsen said student fees pay for more than half the cost to run the building and payed for more than half the cost to build it. She said a name change helps to recognize
that reality. Larsen said changes in function have been gradual, but the change did not become necessary until the old Student Union Building was renamed the Bruce Pitman Center last year. “We are one of the only schools without a designated student union building,” she said. “And that is bad.” ASUI Sen. Katelyn Bartles said the university already has recruitment issues when students compare UI’s commons building to Washington State University’s larger and more fleshed out Compton Union Building. She said this becomes worse for students without the opportunity to visit and find that UI appears to have no designated student union building. “I’m a senior, and I have never considered the Pitman Center a SUB,” she said. Bartles, who was chair of the Idaho Commons board last year, said the name change may also affect conversations about use of space in the commons. SEE union, PAGE 5

Everybody loves Marvel Bob’s cashier setting the bar for customer service Taylor Nadauld Argonaut
As students pour through the doors of Bob’s Place on weekday mornings, Marvel Harper can be seen behind a small desk, scanning students’ Vandal cards for entry. Most students know her as just Marvel, as her nametag states in all caps. She started working for the University of Idaho nine years ago as a service attendant for Bob’s and since then has made a name for herself as the cashier who knows most everyone’s name. “I try to greet each and everyone,” Harper said of Bob’s customers.
A native of Mansfield, Washington, Harper attended Whitworth University in Spokane where she majored in home economics. As well as being a cashier for Bob’s, Harper often takes on jobs ushering for college football games. And when she’s not working to serve people, Harper’s connection to her community branches into her personal life, as she spends her free time attending church and visiting with friends. “She’s got a quirky personality,” said Steven Tyler, a cook for Bob’s. “She’s always got something to chuckle about.” Harper said her connection to students at UI has been her favorite part of her job as a cashier — something that has resulted in deeper involvement with the university. In her time at UI, Harper said she has seen everything from a personal invite

Backpacks, ski poles and rafts, oh my 41st annual gear swap promises students great deals Hannah Shirley Argonaut
Emily Renzini has attended the Annual Outdoor Equipment Sale and Swap for all four years she has been a student. This year, organizing the event as the University of Idaho Outdoor Program intern, she said she has learned things about the event she never knew. “I never knew all that money went to the ski team,” Renzini said, referring to the proceeds generated by the swap. “I thought it was just a free event.” The 41st annual gear swap will be held 6-8 p.m. Saturday in the Student Recreation Center. The event will feature several local and regional vendors, including Backcountry
Lark and White Pine Gear Exchange and Fly Shop, which will both participate in the event for the first time this year. Admission is free and open to the public, and students who wish to sell their own gear are welcome to set up their own space for a $5 table fee. Students may sign up in advance or at the event. Elise Clausen, a UI Climbing Center coordinator, said last year’s event drew over 1,000 people in two hours and attracted vendors from as far away as McCall, Idaho. This year, Clausen said she’s hoping to find a pair of skis. Renzini said she never attends the swap looking for anything in particular, but always seems to find something anyway. “I like to do outdoor things, but it’s not cheap,” Renzini said. “They always have really good deals.” In addition to local and student vendors,

Training the trainers Ryan Locke Argonaut
The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently award the University of Idaho with a $1.2 million federal grant for its Food Safety Center, which will go toward education for food producers about safe practices. Barbara Petty, interim UI Extension director, said the grant comes from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Food Safety Center, a long-running partnership between UI and Oregon State University, focuses on consumer food safety information and training. It is one of four such programs across the nation. The UI and Washington State University food science programs merged in 2008 to form the School of Food Science. Barbara Rasco, director of the School of Food Science at Washington State University, said the grant money will be used for educating trainers to provide food safety programs for agricultural industries in the Northwest. Once these trainers are themselves trained, they will be tasked with providing classes and technical services to the agriculture industry. Rasco said the program has done food safety training for regional industry for decades, so is well qualified to take on these new requirements. The Food Safety Center’s faculty are nationally recognized as leaders in food safety training, particularly Jeff Kronenberg, senior extension specialist in southern Idaho.

In a statement Monday, the SBOE officials announced they had sent out acceptance letters to more than 20,000 high school seniors throughout Idaho.

The Idaho women’s basketball team kicked off the season with a 93-58 win over NAIA opponent Lewis-Clark State College in an exhibition game Friday at the Memorial Gym. The Vandals started fast, taking an early lead by sinking two 3-pointers in two minutes. “I really liked the first half,” Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. “I thought our intensity level was up and I thought we came out strong and had a good start.” Idaho’s defense held the Warriors to 12 points in the first quarter.
“Overall defensively, we did what we wanted to do in the first half,” Newlee said. “We haven’t done a lot of zone work and I liked the way we executed off of only a couple days of practice.” With a total of 21 assists, Newlee said the team is passing the basketball well. “We always try to get 20 assists and to get 21, we reached our goal,” Newlee said. “I liked our ball movement tonight. We were sharing the basketball.” A few new faces were added to Idaho’s roster, including freshmen Taylor Pierce, Mikayla Ferenz and Brigitte O’Neill. “They’re fitting in great,” Idaho senior Connie Ballestero said. “In practice they’re working hard and earning their minutes out there on the court.” Ballestero led the Vandals with 17 points,

The Idaho swim team picked up another win as the Vandals beat Seattle University 160-102 Saturday in Seattle to extend the Vandals’ winning streak. Idaho’s only loss came against Boise State Oct. 10 in Boise, which was the Vandals’ first duel of the season. Freshmen Erica King, Sarah Hall and Maryann Kok Cher Ling won two events each. King won the 1,000-yard freestyle by about 23 seconds and the 200-yard backstroke with a time of two minutes, 6.09 seconds. Hall won the 200-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle and Kok Cher Ling won the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle. The Vandals started and finished the meet well with victories in both relays. Kok Cher Ling, junior Victoria Papke, sophomore Cara Jernigan and senior Sami Hendricks won the 200-yard medley relay to start the duel and Hall, Hendricks, Kok Cher Ling and freshman Aileen Pannecoucke teamed up for the victory in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
Heartbreak FROM PAGE 6
The Bears evened the score in the 57th minute when midfielder Mariel Gutierrez received a cross and punched it into the back of the net to tie the game 1-1. The two teams traded scoring opportunities for the remainder of regulation, but neither defense relented under pressure. The two teams then began the first overtime period with physical play on both ends of the pitch. The Vandals came close to scoring a sudden-death goal in the 95th minute when junior defender Madison Moore rocketed a shot in from outside the box, but the Northern Colorado goalkeeper made a diving save and punched the ball over the crossbar to keep the game knotted 1-1. After neither team converted in the second overtime, the game went to a penalty kick shootout. The Vandals replaced Big Sky Goalkeeper of the Year Amanda Poertner, a freshman, with junior Torell Stewart for the penalty kicks series.
Idaho will compete at the Phil Hansel Invite Nov. 19-21 in Houston.
Badillos leads Vandals Idaho sophomore Lucia Badillos made her presence known during a successful weekend for the Idaho women’s tennis team at the Gonzaga Bulldog Invitational Friday through Sunday in Spokane. She won the Red Flight singles draw and competed in singles and doubles with sophomore Ana Batiri. Badillos went 3-0 to win the Red Flight. In doubles, Batiri and Badillos won two of their three matches. Idaho senior Belen Barcenilla lost her first round. After a win over Sabina Preda of Portland State, Barcenilla advanced to the consolation quarterfinals. She earned two more wins, moved on to the finals and took the draw in the finals against Dani Young of Eastern Washington. Barcenilla won the Blue Flight consolation bracket. Pittman said the substitution was made because Poertner had been nursing an injury since the regular-season finale against Eastern Washington and had not been able to practice defending penalty kicks in recent weeks. The Vandals could not convert on any of their attempts, falling 3-0 in the fourth round of penalty kicks to Northern Colorado. “Just because we lost in penalty kicks doesn’t mean that we had a bad season by any means,” Pittman said. “I know for our players this definitely hurts and will hurt for a while, but we will do everything we can to use this as motivation to keep getting better.” The Vandals finished the season with a 14-4-3 record. They won the Big Sky regularseason championship after going unbeaten in conference play. Northern Colorado advances to the 64-team NCAA College Cup, which begins play next weekend at unspecified locations throughout the nation.

Speaking for students Visiting speakers have the potential to change the way students look at the world
C
ollege provides a number of opportunities for students that most people don’t regularly have at their disposal. One of these opportunities is the chance to listen and ask questions to a Pulitzer-Prizewinning author or view a presentation by a member of Doctors Without Borders. The University of Idaho regularly hosts events where students have the opportunity to listen to a distinguished guest speaker, ask them questions or even introduce themselves for networking opportunities. This week, Allison Joseph, the author of six poetry collections, will visit Moscow as part of the English Department’s Distinguished Visiting Writers series. It’s the same series that brought Anthony Doerr, the winner of the 2015 Pulitzer Prize in fiction, and prominent fiction author Kent Meyer to the university.
