THE Â ARGONAUT

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Turning of the Wheelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; brings unity, communication to campus Ashley Centers Argonaut

With well-known Native American couple Tom and Susan Yellowtail as his inspiration, University of Idaho distinguished humanities professor Rodney Frey created a series of events that address what Frey calls the ´Ă&#x20AC;YH F¡VÂľ FRPPXQLW\ FLvility, communication, creativity and collaboration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea of the wagon wheel is very ancient with the indigenous people,â&#x20AC;?

Frey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Tom Yellowtail saw the world as one big wagon wheel with each spoke a different, distinct culture but each spoke, each culture has to work together to make the wheel turn. If one spoke doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work the whole wheel will fall apart.â&#x20AC;?

The anthropology professor is only the second person to be granted the 18-month position as a distinguished humanities professor at UI. As a requirement of the position Frey said he was told to pick a topic that interests

him and would have some Arts and Social Sciences sort of positive impact in the said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it will provide KXPDQLWLHV Ă&#x20AC;HOG RQ 8, VWX- a much-deserved spotlight dents and on the community on humanities scholars and and then prepare a related their work.â&#x20AC;? keynote address Aiken said and class. she was asked to Frey will be a part of the give the keyevents by Frey note address at as a long-time the first event I want the faculty colleague and in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turning to connect with faculty memRI WKH :KHHO ber who has an The Interplay everyone.

Kathy Aiken, dean of people to participate,â&#x20AC;? of the College of Letters, Frey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming into this

there were a lot of people that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know but wanted to get to know and a few people that I did. I think this will be a great way to bring our community even closer and show my respect for a bunch of other people.â&#x20AC;?

Frey said he had the option and budget available to bring in people from all across the country to speak on one or many different topics. Instead he chose to make this symposium both very interdisciplinary and localized by asking his colleagues from several different departments at UI to be a part of the series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want any of this to be formal,â&#x20AC;? Frey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want the faculty to connect with everyone. I want everybody to show the rest of the world what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passionate about and have some fun doing it.â&#x20AC;?

Gasser said she is giving a lecture on a variety of topics related to feminism. She said that the entire symposium is designed to look at

a variety of disciplines through a unique lens and engage people in a discussion about what is universal and what isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t and why it matters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully through these events we can come together as a community,â&#x20AC;? Gasser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my lecture I want us to think about what happens as a community when feminism and social justice are applied to leadership.â&#x20AC;?

Gasser is excited to see Freyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program come to fruition. She said anytime you bring people together around a common goal they will leave with new knowledge and a wider understanding of the world.

Frey said he hopes to see the discussion about diversity and universality continue between students and faculty and out in the community after the program ends in May.

VANDALNATION

Re-match in the Dome

Graphic by Nick Groff | Argonaut

Vandals, Falcons meet a year after the H-Bowl Nick Groff Argonaut

The 2011 Vandal football campaign will start almost exactly as the 2009 campaign ended â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a matchup against Mid-American Conference foe, the Bowling Green State Falcons The season opener against the Falcons, set for 6 p.m.

Thursday in the newly-remodeled Kibbie Dome, gives the Vandals another chance to prove they are a more prepared team, and coach Robb Akey said he is excited to get the chance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody wants to win your opening game, so that, I think, just adds to the excitement of what this game is going to be,â&#x20AC;? Akey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are a football team that is improved from where they were.

They had a lot of youth on their team last year, and that youth got to play a lot.â&#x20AC;?

The youth and inexperience in its previous season held Bowling Green to two wins, but Akey said he is expecting an improved team on both sides of the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got another receiver that gets the ball an awful lot and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faster than the last one,â&#x20AC;? Akey said, referring to former Falcon and NCAA single-season receptions alltime leader Freddie Barnes.

Akey said the Vandals are ready to play against a team other than themselves and most of the players that dealt with injuries through the summer and fall will be available to SOD\ LQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW JDPH Akey said receiver Justin Veltung, who is battling turf toe, is likely

to

miss WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW game and receiver Preston Davis, who recently suffered a foot injury, will also not be available for Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game.

Akey said the team has multiple personnel units, depth and is overall a faster squad than in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this football team is faster,â&#x20AC;? Akey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a faster football team, as a team.â&#x20AC;?

He also said he likes the way the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chemistry is working and the WKDW WUXWK ZLOO EH H[SRVHG LQ WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW game.

Vandal schedule quick hit

Even though the Vandals are not scheduled to make long trips within their WAC schedule, the

team will VWLOO ORJ VLJQLĂ&#x20AC;FDQW miles with trips to Texas A&M, Virginia and BYU. 7KH PRVW GLIĂ&#x20AC;FXOW WHVW WKH 9DQdals will face comes in week three when they head to College Station, Texas, to play No. 8 Texas A&M. The Vandals are not likely more than a blip on the Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; radar as they take on all ranked Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma later in the season.

But, non-conference oppo-

nents BYU and Virginia are not near as strong as the Aggies, and if the Vandals are healthy and play mistake-free football, a win might come from one of these road trips.

Because Fresno State, Louisiana Tech and Hawaii all travel to the Kibbie Dome, it is important Idaho

recognizes these games as must-win situations in order to reach a bowl game this year. The three programs are still considered to be in the top half of the conference.

If the Vandals are perfect at home and win one road game, the team will likely be invited to a bowl game.

Robinson, , has been voted Idahoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive captain by his teammates, a testament to his work ethic and his â&#x20AC;&#x153;lead by exampleâ&#x20AC;? personality.

After a breakout junior season that saw the Upland, Calif. native lead the team in unassisted tackles, Robinson has been hum-

If I do teams they know they can come to good then everyone else does me.â&#x20AC;? good and vice versa.â&#x20AC;?

Adapting to a defense without Criner described Robinson as JoJo Dickson, Shiloh Keo and someone who was â&#x20AC;&#x153;one shell of Treâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Shawn Aaron Lavarias, three graduates a guyâ&#x20AC;? when he came to Moscow Robinson who were instrumental to the Vanin 2008.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer loses two straight Charles Crowley Argonaut

After two draws to start the season, the Vandal womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team came up short on their most recent games, losing both hard-fought battles by just one goal.

Coach Pete Showler said the women are playing strong and they know exactly what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do to win. He said it showed in the second half of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we put two halves together like the second half today, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be golden,â&#x20AC;?

Showler said.

In Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Seattle University, the Vandals put together several good drives but just could not get one to go in. Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Megan Daniels found the top corner of the goal at in the 32 minute for the only score of the game.

Chelsea Small had a look early in the JDPH EXW FRXOG QRW Ă&#x20AC;QG WKH JRDO DQG both Jill Flockhart and Bailey Hewitt had looks in the box, but could not bury either. Though Seattle had fewer chances, Showler said they made the best of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This game is about chances â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take ours, and they took theirs,â&#x20AC;?

Showler said.

Transparency is crucial When tragedy devastates a community, people look for guidance, answers and reassurance from the person in charge.

When our focus is no longer on national tragedies because of something big in Moscow, the shift can be a reality check in the truest sense of the word. The realization that tragedy can hit our small town is blinding and gutwrenching.

The feeling eliminates any question as to why we care so much about the national issues. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel those issues â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cut as deep or sting for as long as those at home.

The handbook does not explain to VWXGHQWV KRZ WKH\ FDQ Ă&#x20AC;OH FRPSODLQWV against other students or faculty. It does not make clear the policy for sanctions or how the university will protect students. How many students have failed to report attacks or threats because they did not feel that the university could, or would, do anything?

Universities are not giving students the information they need to be safe. They are not addressing student concerns in the way they need to be addressed. And they are not creating a campus culture that allows students to come forward with their concerns.

UIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handbook makes it seem as if the university doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be involved in sexual assault cases and offers little to no support.

If UI will not take responsibility for what happens on its campus, it is up to the students to hold them responsible.

We must make it clear that we will no longer ignore or excuse the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regressive sexual violence policies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the university to stop protecting itself, and start protecting its students.
