MARCH AGAINST VIOLENCE

An evening of food, culture, entertainment Kaitlyn Krasselt Argonaut

Africa is home to nearly 15 percent of the world’s population, and is one of the most culturally diverse continents in the world.

Students at the University of Idaho can experience that diversity at UI’s Africa Night that will take place at 5 p.m. Saturday in the Student Union Building ballroom “Africa Night is a night where different cultural entertainment from different parts of Africa are displayed,� said Toluwani Adekunle, vice president of the African Students Association.

In addition to an allyou-can-eat dinner consisting of various African foods, Africa Night will be focused on entertainment.

Performances will include tribal dances from various regions of Africa, tribal drumming and a fashion show displaying the differences among traditional African dress. “There are so many cultures that we cannot necessarily portray them all, so we divide it by region,�

Adekunle said.

There will be approximately 25 countries represented throughout the HYHQLQJ 0HPEHUV RI $6$ agreed that the evening is a great way for people to understand what Africa is. ´0RVW SHRSOH WKLQN $Irica is this barren land with people starving, but that is not true. Africa is beautiful and diverse,� said Olivia Balemba, a member of ASA. This year’s theme for the evening is “Here I Rise,� meant to represent and acknowledge the fact that although there have been many struggles in all regions of Africa, people continue to keep their culture alive. “It’s basically a way to say ‘You may hurt me, but I still get up every morning — I still rise,’� Balemba said.

Adekunle said the evening will not be a lecture series or an evening focused on problems in Africa, but a showcase of entertainment and culture.

Performances will be done by students from different regions in Africa who attend UI. “We have about 25 countries we’re representing. It’s a nice way for people to understand what Africa really is,� Balemba said.

Balemba, who is performing in several dances throughout the evening, said some students spent the summer planning and that practicing for the event.

ASB intern Karen Pohl said the trips emphasize social justice issues, such as

poverty, education and environmental sustainability. “We really focus on reĂ HFWLRQ WLPHV Âľ 3RKO VDLG “Times we can dig deeper in to the experiences the student is having.â€?

Vicci White, career advising and professional development manager, gives a seminar to students Thursday afternoon in the Crest room of the Idaho Commons. The presentation â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interviewing: What to do before, during and afterâ&#x20AC;? provides tips on how to have a succesful job interview. White said she suggested doing research on a company after it has offered an interview and cautioned that â&#x20AC;&#x153;75 percent of employeers check social networking sites before making an offer.â&#x20AC;?

A chance to meet a future employer Molly Spencer Argonaut

Jessica Berwick said the Career Center is giving students the opportunity to network, build professional relationships and explore career opportunities at its Job and Internship Fair which runs Monday through Wednesday.

Employers will look for students who possess skills required for the jobs being offered. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity for younger students to get an idea of what employers will be looking for down the road, said Berwick, manager of employer relations and communications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employers will be recruiting for jobs and internships â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some will be doing summer employment as well,â&#x20AC;?

Berwick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All students are welcome to attend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; there is something for everyone.â&#x20AC;?

Berwick said internships are for students on all levels of the job market because the experience from internships can be an asset that will set the student apart from other candi-

dates when applying for jobs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for students to do their homework before attending the fair, Berwick said, which means coming prepared and with a company in PLQG WKDW PLJKW EH D JRRG Ă&#x20AC;W She said it is important students make a good impression and bring knowledge to the table.

There will also be organizations recruiting for full-time employment, Berwick said.

She said some employers will hire VSHFLĂ&#x20AC;F PDMRUV DQG RWKHUV ZLOO KLUH any type of major.

Suzi Billington, director for academic success and access programs, said her role in the Job and Internship Fair is to support the event and make sure her staff has all the resources needed. She also helps administrators promote the events.

She said the fair is important for students looking to enter the currently tough job market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the opportunity for students to actually talk to, get face-

time with people who are actually hiring, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hardest thing for student to do on their own,â&#x20AC;?

Billington said.

Employers have told Billington they remember the persistent students who come back every semester.

Students who are more persistent are more likely to get the jobs being presented, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be able to have all of our graduates have a great chance in the job of their dreams,â&#x20AC;? Billington said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to do that they need to do the steps ahead of time to get themselves there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to get the experiences that they need and that employers are looking for.â&#x20AC;?

The Job and Internship Fair is a glimpse at â&#x20AC;&#x153;What am I going to do for the rest of my life?â&#x20AC;? Billington said.

The Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Fair will be from 3 to 7 p.m. Oct. 3 in the Student Union Building ballroom. The Corporate/ )RU 3URĂ&#x20AC;W )DLU ZLOO EH KHOG IURP WR 5 p.m. in the SUB ballroom.

THE Â ARGONAUT VOLLEYBALL

Directing traffic on the court Kevin Bingaman Argonaut

Zach Edwards | Argonaut

Junior setter Jennifer Feicht serves the ball against Hawaii Sept. 22 in Memorial Gym. Saturday the Vandals will travel to Louisiana to play La. Tech. In 2010 against La. Tech, Feicht had 14 digs and one block recorded.

Junior setter Jennifer Feicht has been a key part of the Vandal volleyball team since her freshman year, and continues to play WKH GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW SRVLWLRQ DW D KLJK level. For Feicht, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of carrying on a family tradition.

Both of Feichtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents played collegiate volleyball and she said her parents met when they played against each other in an adult league. Feicht said she used to play basketball, but once she got a taste of volleyball it became her passion.

As a setter, Feicht has many responsibilities. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in charge of directing traffic on the court, whether calling plays or placing the ball for a hit, Feicht is in charge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My main responsibility is to give our hitters a good chance at a kill, and better the ball if the pass is not there,â&#x20AC;? Feicht said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another one of my main responsibilities is to make sure everyone knows what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hitting, make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the right rotation. Basically, if I had to make an analogy for it, it ZRXOG EH OLNH D TXDUWHUEDFN RQ a football team.â&#x20AC;?

Feicht also said a setter has to learn the strengths and weaknesses of every player on the team so she can call the best play for any given situation.

Feicht went to Woodbridge High School in Irvine, Calif.,

Pre-game ritual: Feicht puts her shoes, socks, braces and pads on in the same order every time.

Favorite movie: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tie between â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pride and Prejudiceâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Knights Tale.â&#x20AC;?

Favorite food: her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Greek lamb Favorite artist: Dierks Bentley where she led the Warriors to three consecutive league titles.

She also played volleyball for the Saddleback Valley club and KHOSHG WKH WHDP Ă&#x20AC;QLVK WKLUG DW WKH 5HQR )HVWLYDO LQ In her freshman season at Idaho, Feicht earned a starting role toward the end of the season. She said it was a tough tranVLWLRQ IRU KHU WR PDNH VR TXLFNO\ ´7KH Ă&#x20AC;UVW JDPH , SOD\HG in, I was really nervous,â&#x20AC;? Feicht said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like everyone who comes in right out of high school is going to be nervous.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a different intensity of D JDPH ,W¡V D ORW TXLFNHU Âľ Feicht is not the only talented setter on roster for Idaho. Junior Ryann Carter has pushed for playing time. The two setters have shared time in a number of matches and are in constant competition for the starting role. Feicht said the competition makes both of them better players and makes the team better as a whole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both put a lot of pressure on each other,â&#x20AC;? Feicht said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We both know what

our job is and we basically fight to the death because we both want to play, but when we step off the court, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really good friends.â&#x20AC;?

Feichtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road to becoming a Vandal was an interesting one. Feicht said she received e-mails from both Idaho and Idaho State, but she mistakenly thought they were the same school. Feicht said she had no real interest in coming to Idaho, but that changed when she agreed to come for a visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came on my visit and I fell in love with it,â&#x20AC;? Feicht said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved the school. It was so pretty. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never seen anything like it. The people were all really nice and the team seemed to just gel, and that was something I was looking for.â&#x20AC;?

Feicht has already racked up three double-doubles this season and she continues to be WKH ´TXDUWHUEDFN¾ IRU WKH 9DQdal volleyball team. Feicht is majoring in early childhood development and said she wants to either teach kindergarten or run a daycare in the future.

Dmitry Perevoshchikov decisively won both of the tournaments he played this season, proving his worth as an addition to the Vandal menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis team.

Perevoshchikov transferred to the University of Idaho as a sophomore from Izheusk, Russia where he said he has played tennis since he was 6 years old. Perevoshchikov said he feels right at home in Idaho. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like it here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good town, and I actually like small towns,â&#x20AC;? Perevoshchikov said.

Perevoshchikov said that he has had a lot of experience playing with people from other countries which

made the transfer easier for him. He said that the tennis team helped too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the members of the team befriended me right away so it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a problem,â&#x20AC;? Perevoshchikov said.

Alabama, No. 3, will travel to Gainesville, Florida to take on the No. 12 Florida Gators. Florida comes into the game under new Michael Greenway head coach Will Argonaut Muschamp and new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. A win against Alabama, would regain national supremacy for the Gators and likely earn them a spot in the top 10. Meanwhile, Alabama is looking to keep its national title hopes alive and keep pace with LSU for the top spot in the SEC .

7KH )ORULGD *DWRUV ORRNHG Ă DZOHVV LQ WKHLU Ă&#x20AC;UVW IRXU JDPHV DYHUDJing 40 points per game, while only giving up nine. Offensively, Florida is led by two seniors, quarterback John Brantley and running back Chris Rainey. Rainey has rushed for more than 100 yards in each of his last three games, the Gators will need his contribution again Saturday night. Brantley has thrown for more than 750 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Defensively, Florida must control the line of scrimmage and get pressure on young Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron. If the Gator defense can force turnovers, Florida will be in good position to win the game.

The Alabama Crimson Tide is coming off a 38-14 victory at home against Arkansas. The Alabama defense is No. 2 in scoring, giving up only eight points per game. If Alabama is going to win this game the defense must shut down Charlie Weisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense, and that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be easy.

On the offensive side of the ball, the Tide must be as efficient as it was last week against Arkansas. The key for Alabama on offense is keeping sophomore quarterback A.J. McCarron comfortable in the pocket.

If the Gators get a lot of pressure on McCarron itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lights out for Alabama. If Alabama running back Trent Richardson can pull off a 100yard rushing game, Alabama will be in good shape. If the Florida defense can keep Richardson in check, this game will get interesting.

My call: Florida 20, Alabama 17.

Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense will be the difference in this one. Playing for a home crowd, Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense will rise to the challenge and create a couple turnovers. McCarron will struggle all day and Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense will take advantage of McCarronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistakes and take it home with a game-winning field goal.

SOCCER FROM PAGE 5

A rigorous pre-conference schedule, as well as unexpected injuries, have led to some of the freshman minutes.

A sudden injury to Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting goalkeeper against Seattle University thrust Marissa Fehrman into action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going in during that half, there was no time to think, you just gotta do it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

For defenders Emily Ngan and Lilly Archer it was competition that gave

and have their first taste of Division I is going to make it even better because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to want to succeed.â&#x20AC;?

The Vandalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; newest acquisitions will make their WAC debut Jan. 5 when they host Nevada in the Cowan Spectrum. Fresno State will be in Moscow two days later for a Saturday afternoon tipoff.

Verlin said the team has to account for the inexperience of the six new faces on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the year goes on this team has to get better day in and day out,â&#x20AC;? Verlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some guys who are going to have to play a lot of minutes that to this point havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played Division I basketball so if we work hard and continue to get better every day I think we can compete right at the top of the league.â&#x20AC;?

Idaho will host four-time WAC champion Utah State on Jan. 21. Stew Morrill and a hungry Aggie team will seek revenge on the Vandals, who upset USU and ended a 17game winning streak, crushing the Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hopes of an undefeated conference record.

The game will prove to be significant for Verlin, who coached under Morrill in Logan, and senior Deremy Geiger, a former Aggie point guard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be huge. I think the WAC is very good this year with Nevada and New Mexico State returning a lot and Utah Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won the league the last three or four years in a row,â&#x20AC;?

Verlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge game for us, you know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get them down there once and this may be a good year to do it.â&#x20AC;?

Four community college transfers will make the Division I transition this winter and Tatum, who transferred from South Plains College two years ago, is well aware of the transfersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playing ability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking at Daz Starke or Wendell Faines down low at the post, helping Kyle Barone, maybe getting another scorer down there, just another power presence inside will really help us in the rebounding and even blocking shots,â&#x20AC;?

Tatum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a real physical group.â&#x20AC;?

Potatoes, cows and farmers. While these characteristics donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t embody every person in Idaho, there is some truth behind these stereotypes.

College is full of unlimited opportunities.

The University of Idaho is also a melting pot of cultures from countries all around the globe, and students should participate in events that portray lifestyles completely different from their own.

Africa Night features African cuisine, performances of traditional dances from various regions in Africa and a fashion show displaying traditional forms of African dress.

Approximately 25 countries will be represented during the event Saturday that will consume the Student Union Building ballroom.

Other UI events intended to educate students about assorted cultures include Cruise the World, Japan Festival, Taste of Nepal and Taiwanese Night Market. These activities include food, dancing and fashion that most students have never been exposed to before.
