The new six-foot tall Homecoming trophy replaced $250 Zeppos gift card as the overall award for Homecoming competitions.

University of Idaho Homecoming teams underwent a week-long competition to have their names engraved on a brand new $1,000 trophy. Teams are comprised of self-registered fraternity, sorority and “general� members, which include residence halls, off-campus students and UI clubs. Each team has been participating for at least a week to accumulate participation points and win daily competitions in order to be one of the three winning teams that will be photographed with the 6-foot tall trophy.

“It’s a monster trophy,� said Katie Dahlinger, the assistant director for student and young alumni programs and coadviser of the Homecoming committee. Competitions included a photo scavenger hunt, living group decoration, a skit and other games. Each competition rewards teams with participation points, but the three teams that win each competition get additional points awarded. The fraternity, sorority and general teams with the most points at the end of Homecoming week win the competition. SEE PRIZE, PAGE 7

Is it reasonable for banks to charge a $5 monthly fee to use your debit card?

“A bank can charge whatever people will pay. A related question is whether it’s reasonable to pay a particular bank $5/month when the same service is offered for free at a bank one block down the street. We need to make better educated choices.� Rick Fletcher Date posted on Facebook: Oct. 4

“Yes, it is perfectly reasonable for banks to charge a $5 monthly fee to use your debit card. Banks offer the debit card as a convenience service for their customers to access their money 24/7 and assume all risk for fraud, theft, or loss for the customer. If you don’t want to pay the $5 fee, you can switch to checks, credit cards or cash.� Tyde Sirk Date posted on Facebook: Oct. 4

“I don’t see it as reasonable for banks to charge a fee for a debit card since businesses have to pay a percentage on every transaction anyways. The percentage is lower than a credit card, however it still exists.�

What’s more concerning is that the bill was upheld in a state court. The state teachers’ union plans to appeal the decision. The ÀQDO GHFLVLRQ FRXOG KDYH ZLGH UHDFKLQJ consequences. Many similar laws limiting unions’ collective bargaining rights have passed in Republican states. Whatever GHFLVLRQV DUH ÀQDOO\ UHDFKHG RQ WKHVH ODZV will set a precedent on labor rights for years to come. We must hope the law is overturned. Collective bargaining is a vital part of American society. Without the right to form unions and collectively bargain,

workers in many sectors of society will see their rights eroded. It is through collective bargaining that we have the 40-hour work week, that we have breaks, that we have safe working conditions. Take the long-time Republican-controlled Texas for example: It has some of the highest worker death and injury rates, some of the lowest worker’s compensation, and a relatively high percentage of its citizens hold minimum-wage jobs. Unions have been attacked for decades in this country, but you only need to look at the working conditions of the Industrial Revolution to understand the necessity of collective action.

After the initial shock began to wear off, Ryan started to understand the potential LQKHUHQW LQ WKH VHHPLQJO\ LPSRVVLEOH ÀJXUH There must be, then, opportunities for recycling all over the place. Just think of tailgates and house parties, not to mention campus dining and residence halls. Indeed, there must be a plethora of ways to recycle on campus. Ryan could almost taste the gyros. He started by volunteering for Tailgate Recycling on Vandal Game Day. He proceeded to earn free lunches by volunteering for Food and Farm in the Idaho Commons and helping other students to sort their leftovers into recycling and composting bins. With these experiences though, came a great realization: That neither

of these places, nor any others on campus, produce waste or non-recycled recyclables without the students. Yes, it is the individuals who frequent each building on campus that contribute to its waste stream, and certainly not the buildings themselves, nor any faceless entity to whom we can extend the blame. It is each and every single one of us that is discarding twice as many recyclable and compostable materials as we do even actual waste. “Where better to start a pilot recycling program than in my own residence?� Ryan pondered, “For if I were in the habit of sustainable living at home, it would be no effort at all to do the same wherever I went.� And so came the $5 garbage can and a couple hours of spare time each week, and the gyros quickly followed. All it took was a little bit of initiative.

to wait and watch this decision and its appeals. Union supporters have put measures on the Idaho ballot for 2012 that would repeal the “Students Come Firstâ€? laws. Every Idahoan should get out and vote for these measures during the election. We need to repeal these laws. We need to protect the collective bargaining rights of our teachers, before a precedent is set that could destroy unionization in Idaho. Once the “Students Come Firstâ€? laws are gone, we can begin working to improve Idaho public schools, ensure they are properly funded, and protect them from attacks by anti-public education conservatives. Then our students really ZLOO FRPH Ă€UVW
