The decision to review the University of Idaho chapter was made after members of Delta Chi voted to allow alcohol in the fraternity, cary said.. “The whole issue was that we had been dry ‌ then the house started to be allowed to have alcohol in the house again, do small social things with sororities,â€?

moved by the national board, Booth said his fellow Delta Chi members were upset and angered by the situation.

Dan McCarthy, a Delta Chi sophomore, said the majority of the house pointed to Bruce Pitman, Dean of Students, as a cause of the national review. McCarthy said Pitman was the last to be consulted by the national board before the fraternity was reviewed. “Dean Pitman has an unfair outlook and doesn’t give Delta Chi a chance to be a part of this fully-functional campus,� Booth said.

Pitman said he was not heavily involved with making the choice to review the chapter, and was not the one to solely make the call to the national chapter. As Dean of Students, Pitman said he worried about Delta Chi and its members before the 19 were made inactive. “I, along with others, were concerned about the activities associated with Delta Chi,�

Pitman said. “I was involved with making the recommendation that they be reviewed.

It (the decision) was a consensus made by several of us in Student Affairs.�

Pitman said he was surprised by the number of members let go from the fraternity.

Cary said the only option for Delta Chi is to repair, refocus and move forward. “(Delta Chi’s inactive members) can’t be a part of the process to get back on track and move forward,�

accident, or you’ll be a vegetable,� Galizia said.

Galizia has been involved with BIAI since December 2010 and said in the past year she has met eight people who have suffered traumatic brain injuries due to motorcycle or bicycling collisions.

She said she met a young motorcyclist from Pocatello who was recently in a motorcycle accident that crushed his skull. She said he has neurological as well as anger issues. “I’m over 60 so I don’t care (that I have a brain injury), but these young people have their lives to live,�

Galizia said.

Capshaw said during KLV WLPH DV D Ă€UHĂ€JKWHU KLV crew jokingly called motorcyclists “organ donors.â€? “A lot of the time, motorcyclists say ‘If I get hit I’d rather be killed than have to live and be crippled,’â€? Capshaw said. “They may not be killed, and not only do they have to live maybe crippled, but they have to live mentally diminished.â€?

Galizia said she was lucky as a brain injury survivor, because she was able to push herself to get better due to her doctorate degree in psychology. But she said not all brain injury survivors are as lucky, and some do not have the family support or the education to learn how to cope.

Capshaw said the struggle brain injury survivors endure can be just as difĂ€FXOW IRU WKH IDPLO\ “If you’ve been around anyone that’s had a head injury, they’re pretty hard to recover from,â€? Capshaw said. “You might survive, but you won’t be the same person that you were prior to it. If you got a brain injury you aren’t going to be the person that your loved ones know.â€?

Galizia stressed that

people can save their lives by simply purchasing a helmet for $20 to $30.

However, most good quality motorcycle helmets range above $150.

Justin Crawford, a member of the ICMS Board of Directors, was the previous head of Idaho motorcycle awareness rallies. He said concerns exist for and against wearing helmets. “Amongst a number of motorcycle enthusiasts, helmets are distracting,�

Crawford said. “People complain about their neck hurting. One of the many concerns of helmets is with visual distraction or auditory impairment.�

But Crawford said ICMS does not share that opinion. “I’m for accident prevention instead of dealing with the accident through safer crashing,� Crawford said. “If we can stop accidents from happening, we’re better off than dealing with safer crashing.�

ICMS prevention rallies, like the annual May Motorcycle Awareness Rally in conjunction with the Idaho Transportation Department, may be doing just that.

Triplett said fatalities in Idaho today are less than 50 percent of last year’s. “All vehicle fatalities are down statewide, but none are like motorcycles,�

Triplett said.

Although they cannot be sure of the cause, Triplett and Crawford said they hoped it was due to the work of ICMS. They both still think it is an individual’s right to decide whether or not to wear a helmet. “I look at my helmet and think ‘Is this a day I need it or not?’� Triplett said. “And I just keep putting it on.�

Follow Vandal football this Saturday in Reno through Vandal Nation.

VANDAL NATION

Last chance for seniors Nick Groff Argonaut

Idaho hasn’t beaten Nevada since joining the WAC in 2005, but that doesn’t seem to bother the Vandals.

Spirits have not dropped and the focus has not waned despite a disappointing 2011 campaign as the Vandals (2-9, WAC 1-5) head to “the biggest little city in the world� to face the Nevada Wolf Pack (6-5, WAC 4-2). Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. Saturday at Mackay Stadium in Reno. “A win — that’s all I want,� senior line-

backer Tre’Shawn Robinson said. “I wanna win my last college game.�

Fellow senior Brian Reader shared his teammate’s sentiment. “It’s our last chance to do it,� Reader said. “Huge game for me, huge game for the team, the university — it’d be a big win for us.�

Reader will start against the Wolf Pack after a decent showing against Utah State, which beat Nevada two weeks ago. “They’re (Nevada) a good team and they’ve fallen short just a few games like a

lot of teams in the WAC,� Reader said. “It’s been a while since I won a game as a starting quarterback so it’d be nice to come out and kinda have a good taste in my mouth as I play my last game.�

Nevada employs the No. 9 run offense in the country, averaging 254.2 yards per game.

Senior safety Quin Ashley said the offensive line is a large part of the success of the Wolf Pack running offense. He said controlling the line and shutting the receivers in the secondary will be key if the Van-

dals want to leave Reno with their third win of the season.

Idaho coach Robb Akey said Nevada is a sound team with offensive personnel worthy of a nationally ranked rushing offense. “They’ve got a good offensive line, they’ve had two good quarterbacks that are executing it for them, and running backs, they got the option with it as well,�

Akey said.

Idaho women’s basketball threw everything they had at Washington, but the Huskies proved to be too much as the Vandals fell 66-49 in Memorial Gym Wednesday night.

The game put another tick in the Vandals’ loss column leaving them 2-5 on the season. Even with the losses Idaho FRDFK -RQ 1HZOHH VDLG KH OLNHV WKH LPSURYHPHQW KLV WHDP has shown. “They’re learning, they’re picking it up,� Newlee said. “Our goal is to win the WAC. As long as we learn from every game and we get better every game and every practice, that’s what I’m looking for, and that’s what’s happening.�

While the Vandals executed plays on offense, they couldn’t knock down shots. The Vandals shot 27.8 percent on the night and just seven of 31 from 3-point range.

Bypass bureaucracy It only takes one person to initiate a response in an emergency or high-risk situation. At the University of Idaho there are multiple people who can and want to be that person. These people’s intentions are good and kind — caring, even.

But when there are too many channels to go through and no clear path to follow about who should be allowed to know certain information, the unfortunate result is that often times no one is heard. It no longer matters that the right policies and procedures exist and are in place because if they are too convoluted to understand nothing will be accomplished anyway.

In many instances, these roadblocks are the result of an overly bureaucratic approach to communication within the university.

And it is this point the independent review SDQHO 3UHVLGHQW 0 'XDQH 1HOOLV FRQYHQHG WR
