UI scores higher on Trojan report card Anja Sundali Argonaut

Trojan Condoms ranked the University of Idaho dead last in a pool of 141 U.S. colleges and universities in its annual Sexual Health Report Card in 2010. One year later, UI jumped an impressive 42 places to No. 99 in the 2011 Trojan Sexual Health Report Card.

Sperling’s BestPlaces conducted the independent, qualitative study for Trojan Condoms. President Bert Sperling said the study did not look at the rate of sexually transmitted infections or the prevalence of sexual disease on campuses, but rather at the sexual health resources available to students. This information was collected in two ways, he said. ´:H ÀUVW HYDOXDWH WKH

Sperling said. “We also contact student health representatives and send schools questionnaires to EH Ă€OOHG RXW E\ D VWXGHQW health representative.â€?

Greg Tatham, assistant vice provost of Student Affairs, said to his knowledge no one ever contacted UI regarding this survey. Sperling said sometimes because of university policies, surveys are not completed.

He was unable to confirm whether any such survey had been completed by UI. Sperling said the study evaluated several aspects of each college or university’s student health website, most importantly how easy it was to use, KRZ HDV\ LW ZDV WR ÀQG information on sexual SEE SCORES, PAGE 5

Students, faculty and staff received an email Friday warning of the dangers of sexual assault and the risks associated with alcohol use on campus.

Valerie Russo, assistant Dean of Students for Training and Resources, said the purpose of the email was to raise awareness about the risks on campus. “Certainly this is a time of year when we want students to have a sense of what we’ve been seeing on campus, and

to remind students of the bigger risks on campus which is non-stranger assaults and when alcohol and other drugs are involved,� Russo said.

UI even received extra credit for Brotherhood Empowered Against Rape, an ASUI student group dedicated to ending male violence through activism and education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that those programs werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t established and active on campus,â&#x20AC;?

Tatham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easily found on the website.â&#x20AC;?

to the UI Student Health Services website and other new programs on campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It heightened our awareness, and to some extent I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing for us, because we realized that if thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way that Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BestPlaces do their research, then students PLJKW EH KDYLQJ GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW\ Ă&#x20AC;QGLQJ WKHVH UHVRXUFHV WKH\ need too,â&#x20AC;? Tatham said.

After the 2010 study was released, Tatham said the university convened a special meeting with representatives from different groups across campus to address the concerns. This meeting resulted in upgrades to the Student Health Services website and the creation of a coordinator of health education programs position, which is in the Ă&#x20AC;QDO VWDJHV RI D FDQGLGDWH search process. The position will address all student-related health issues, including sexual health.

In addition to upgrades on the website and a new job on campus, multiple groups on campus have made efforts to increase their visibility and create new programs for students.

Elissa Keim, manager of Professional Development and Learning, handled the coordination aspects of the event. She said the seminar is important because the skills learned are skills everyone needs to have. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all need to know how to treat people nicely,â&#x20AC;? Keim said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We welcome people to come and if not this, there will be more in the future.â&#x20AC;?

The event may be the second open forum, but Suarez and the Human Rights Access and Inclusion department also provide all other sexual harassment training for employees, which include initial new staff training and a refresher course every two years.

The training will be from 9 to 10:30 a.m. in the Administration Building room 217 and is open to anyone who wants to attend.

oriented, but Lysa Salsbury, coordinator of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center programs, said one of the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focuses is on sexual health for students of any gender or sexual orientation.

In response to the 2010 Trojan Sexual Health Report Card, Salsbury said they created the program â&#x20AC;&#x153;Got Sex?â&#x20AC;? ´:H ZHUH GHĂ&#x20AC;QLWHO\ spurred by concern on campus that we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doing enough,â&#x20AC;? Salsbury said.

Got Sex? is a monthly forum for students to come and discuss sexual health.

B.E.A.R, Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse, Violence Prevention programs and UI VOX also partner in this collaborative initiative that began in spring 2011. Formerly called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Vagina Dialogues,â&#x20AC;? the name was changed this fall to encourage all genders to attend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These forums are a safe and open space where students can have a voice without judgment,â&#x20AC;? Salsbury said.

Got Sex? has already covered topics such as sex IRU WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW WLPH DQG FRQWUDceptives, and addressed circumcision at itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent

presentation on Nov. 10.

Salsbury said the response to the forums has been overwhelmingly positive and called the program a â&#x20AC;&#x153;smash hit.â&#x20AC;? Got Sex? is usually held the second Thursday of the month at the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center in Memorial Gym room 109, with attendance in excess of 40 people at the most recent forums.

UI VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood Sex on the Sidewalk, World AIDS Day, Take Back the Night, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Vagina Monologuesâ&#x20AC;? and Got Sex? are just a few of the programs that the campus arm of Planned Parenthood, UI VOX, helps coordinate.

Dorothy Chorlton, cochair of the student group, said many people have misconceptions about what Planned Parenthood does. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Less than 3 percent of Planned Parenthood has to do with abortion education,â&#x20AC;? Chorlton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of it is about sexual education, family planning and contraceptives.â&#x20AC;?

Chorlton said UI VOXâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major focus is sexual education. At tabling events, in-

Tatham said the coordinator will also work with Student Health Services and be a liaison between other groups on campus to coordinate student outreach and education programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully this position will create a more educated student body thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more aware of KHDOWK\ OLIHVW\OHV WKDW JR EH\RQG MXVW Ă&#x20AC;WQHVV and exercise, but that deal with what you eat, how you effect other people, sexual health â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the gambit of things,â&#x20AC;? Tatham said.

Students were involved in every step of the search process, Huffman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about what we want, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about what students want and need,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Jane Lear, UI VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood adviser said many of the groups such as UI VOX and the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center already collaborate on many programs, but having a coordinator will improve existing relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Creating this staff position is really sigQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQW Âľ /HDU VDLG ´7KLV SRVLWLRQ JLYHV XV D GHĂ&#x20AC;QDEOH JRDO :H DOO ZRUN WRZDUGV WKH VDPH thing but from different angles.â&#x20AC;?

Lysa Salsbury, coordinator of Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center programs, said the creation of this position is a positive addition for the university. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will be challenging for them to get to know all the different programs we have,â&#x20AC;?

Salsbury said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will lead to better cohesion, VWUXFWXUH DQG D XQLĂ&#x20AC;HG PHVVDJHÂľ 1RZ WKDW WKH Ă&#x20AC;QDO FDQGLGDWHV KDYH EHHQ interviewed, the search committee will make a recommendation to Tatham.

cluding the springtime Sex on the Sidewalk event, UI VOX hands out safe sex kits complete with condoms, lubricant, information packets and dental dams. They also have latex free kits and kits for different genders or sexual orientations.

UI VOX also creates sexual education programs for many different parts of campus, Chorlton said.

They are currently working on a sex-ed program to present to the Greek councils and do education events in residence halls.

Taylor Davis makes a pass during the first half of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Brigham Young University. The Vandals fell 42-7, putting them at 2-8 on the season.

Another step back Nick Groff Argonaut

Two things went right Saturday in Provo for the Idaho Vandals. Punter Bobby Cowan regained the national punting average at 47 yards per-punt and running back Princeton McCarty had the longest run of his career.

Other than that, the Brigham Young Cougars throttled the Vandals 42-7 Saturday and dropped Idaho to 2-8 on the season.

McCartyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 82-yard touchdown run proved to be the only Idaho score of the game, and accounted for one-third of Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total offense.

Idaho coach Robb Akey gave credit to BYU, but said

he was confused as to what happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any plays tonight (Saturday).

That was the problem,â&#x20AC;?

Akey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did a poor job executing offensively.

We need to execute those things better â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the whole offense.â&#x20AC;?

The offense started with quarterback Taylor Davis, played Brian Reader in the fourth and gave snaps to third string quarterback Logan Bushnell as the clock expired. The three quarterbacks and the offense only tallied 241 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and one fumble.

Senior offensive lineman Tyrone Novikoff said the team could not get any-

thing going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This game was two steps forward and three steps back,â&#x20AC;? Novikoff said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get on a roll.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating.â&#x20AC;?

To make matters worse the Vandals amassed a season high 11 penalties.

Cowan, who accumulated 322 yards on seven punts, was listed last week DV D Ă&#x20AC;QDOLVW IRU WKH 5D\ *X\ Award. He did everything he could to prove he deserves the honor against BYU by outkicking the Vandal offense and getting Idaho its Ă&#x20AC;UVW Ă&#x20AC;UVW GRZQ RI WKH JDPH when BYU was called for running into the kicker.

Utah State 34

vs.

San Jose State 33

The Aggie running game hurt the Spartans for three quarters, but it was Utah State quarterback Adam Kennedy and the passing game that led the hosts to an unfathomable comeback late in the fourth quarter. With 5:19 remaining, the Aggies were down by two touchdowns but Kennedy and receiver Travis Van Leeuwen cut the Spartansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead in half after a 14-yard touchdown pass. Kennedy and wide receiver Matt Austin connected with less than a minute left, giving the Aggies a 34-33 lead. Utah State failed on the two-point conversion, but held San Jose State on the ensuing drive and came away with its second straight WAC win. Kennedy threw for 255 yards, two touchdown passes while running back Robert Turbin had 128 rushing yards and two touchdown runs.

Mourn, but learn In 2009, 10,839 people died in drunk-driving accidents — that’s one death every 50 minutes.

Early Saturday morning, University of Idaho students Wyatt Smith and Benson Sternberg were killed in a rollover on Randall Flat Road in Troy in which alcohol is believed to be a factor. Four other UI students were taken to Gritman Medical Center.

Our condolences go out to the families of the victims, and students should remember that help is available on campus as we mourn the deaths of our peers. But there is a lesson to be learned in the midst

of this tragedy.

Under no circumstances is driving drunk a choice any person should make. Although it’s a message most of us have heard since kindergarten, we tend to belittle its importance. As college students we have the mentality that we are forever young and indestructible, and something as horrible as dying in a drunk driving accident could never happen. It’s unfortunate that it takes the death of one or two of our peers for the reality of drunk driving sink in.

College culture exposes students to new freedoms, includ-

ing the freedom to drink alcohol.

But with this newfound freedom comes responsibility — responsibility to make decisions protecting your own safety and the safety of people around you.

Our parents, older siblings and mentors implore us to use common sense: If you are going to drink, stay in one place. Designate a sober driver. Don’t binge drink.

But when circumstances involving alcohol arise that require us to act like adults, we continuously ignore their advice. Every year UI students are injured and killed in alcohol-related incidents, and the

greatest tragedy regarding incidents like Saturday’s is that they are easily prevented.

All it takes is one person. One person to stand up and say drunk driving is wrong, one person to take responsibility for their actions and put the safety of themselves and their friends above having fun.

It takes courage to stand up to our peers, but that courage could save a life.

About one in three people will be involved with an alcohol-related death in their lifetime — don’t be that person.

Respect the right to protest I am one of the members of Occupy Moscow. I stand in Friendship Square silently with a sign. I stand there because the people of this country are being nickeled and dimed until they have lost the chance to advance in life.

I stand there because it is expensive to be poor. These days, banks and other financial institutions charge more for loans, have higher interest rates and add fees to people who make less than $500,000 a year. The money they take then goes to pay for elected officials so they will make laws benefiting corporations to make even more money off of those with lower incomes. It is an incestuous, cyclical system that is not democratic and does not serve the vast majority of the people of this country.

I stand in Friendship Square because the people who do not have health insurance also do not have the money to buy enough federal lawmakers in order to change the status quo.

I stand in the cold because it is unethical to keep someone from renting an apartment because their credit rating — as determined by these same financial institutions — is deemed too low. I stand there because a credit rating is an invention by which the poor are kept poor via higher rates on mortgages, credit cards and fees for banking services.

As I stand there, occasionally cars with young men drive by and give me the finger and yell, “F— you” to me and the other members of the group. Their level of stupidity is further demonstrated when they are stopped 40 feet from me by the red light on Main and 3rd streets.

When they give us the finger they are giving the finger to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

Personally, I am strongly motivated to drag them out of their car and kick their ass, but I refrain because the women in the group ask me kindly and politely not to. The belief that

this movement remains nonviolent is deeply held by the vast majority of its members.

If the parents and the high school and university administrators could perhaps mention to those young men in their homes, schools and fraternities to whom they might have some degree of oversight or influence, to refrain from insulting all those who stand silently with signs, a right guaranteed by the Constitution, I would be grateful.

I will continue to silently hold up my sign and accede to the tenet of our group, that we remain nonviolent, for as long as I can. It will be a long time.

Appreciating parents, friends, colleagues and allies We would like to extend a special recognition to our straight allies. We would like to take a moment to thank them for their role in our lives. It is not only our colleagues, friends and peers, but also our parents and families who love us in a world where hate sometimes seems more common. For some of us this includes our straight grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles and families who have accepted us, not in spite of our sexual orientation, but simply accepted us. The LGBT movement has benefitted greatly from the courage and support of our straight allies who have had the courage to stand with us even as others have opposed our very existence.

Our allies here at the University of Idaho who took action when the Pride flag was burned, who helped establish the LGBT office on campus, who went out of their way to make sure our campus was safe for all students.

To all of our heterosexual allies who have attended Safe Zone training or meetings, Gay Straight Alliance events, supported us from afar by endorsing the non-discrimination policy on campus and used “partner” instead of spouse to acknowledge that we are all part of the Vandal community, we say thank you.

If there are heterosexual people we would

like to recognize in particular it is indeed our parents, our friends, our colleagues, our allies.

Curtis Lybeer and 23 members of Gay Straight Alliance

Education solution to white privilege While I agree that the playing field isn’t level and something needs to be done, I have a different view on the solution. What I’ve seen imbalanced in the playing field in my 39 years are education and discrimination, and a good education is the best weapon against discrimination of every kind.

Not that I’m against having “history months” or minority parades, but how do either really fix the problem? I grew up in the deep South in the 1970s amid horrible discrimination and in-your-face racism and I can assure you history months and parades didn’t change anything.

In the sixth and seventh grade I was bussed across town to go to terrible schools in poor black neighborhoods. While these schools were an abomination, this wasn’t reserved just for the black poor. My high school was in a poor white neighborhood and was equally horrible. This was not the case in the wealthier areas of town where the schools were beautiful and the teachers were excellent. The differences between these schools in SAT scores, graduation rates and college enrollment were galactic.

The very different educational opportunities in America create the imbalanced playing field and all the parades, history months and reverse discrimination in the world won’t fix what your formative years create. If you really want to level the playing field, level it where it becomes imbalanced, during K-12 schooling. Spreading discrimination doesn’t end discrimination.

A great education for everyone and time for that to take an impact will level the playing field in a way that nothing else can.
