Some of the main goals for Food Day, as posted on the movement’s website, included the expansion of accessible food to alleviate hunger, the support of sustainable farms and fair conditions for food and farm workers, as well as the reduction of diet-related disease and the promotion of safe, healthy foods. Food Day also calls for protection of the environment and animals by reforming factory farms, and for the reduction of junk-food marketing to children. “It’s a fun way to be able to showcase (campus dining sustainability efforts) and inform patrons that may not have been aware,â€? Prior said. Fact sheets about campus dining sustainability efforts from 2010 to 2011 were posted around the cafe. These efforts include the eradication of food trays as well as disposable plates and silverware. Individual condiments are now offered in bulk. And, if students bring their own reusable cups, espresso drinks are discounted by 25 cents and drip coffee by 10 cents in order to reduce paper waste. Other efforts include the use of Aspretto coffee and tea at Bob’s Place, which is 100 SHUFHQW 86'$ FHUWLĂ€HG 2Uganic, as well as the use of biodiesel in Sodexo delivery trucks. Prior said campus dining has purchased produce from Soil Stewards in the past, but more so this year. They have also partnered with Vandal Meats in the past for concession, retail and resident dining. Fred Hisaw, animal science major, works at Vandal

Prior said. Jennifer Emerson, volunteer coordinator for the UI Sustainability Center, helped set up a display for Food Day to showcase campus sustainability efforts as well as information on the local food economy. “I think that maybe it’ll just make (students) more aware of purchases they make and what they put in their body and the economy around food,â€? Emerson said. “It will give them a chance to take a look at where food comes from and to appreciate it better.â€? Emerson said the center also gave out information about foods with high amounts of pesticides, like apples, and information on how to make healthier choices when shopping at the grocery store. 7KLV ZDV WKH Ă€UVW HYHU Food Day at UI and around the country, but it is planned to occur annually on Oct. 24 throughout the nation. ´:H GHĂ€QLWHO\ KRSH WR continue it and it will catch on,â€?

He was also awarded a travel grant earlier this year to attend the Evolution Conference in Norman, Okla. “Conferences are good for lots of tangible and intangible reasons,� Hagey said. “The most solid is you get to present your own work, and you get to show other professors, postdocs, other students, what

Goebel said she was nervous she wasn’t fast enough to be part of the team, but her teammates motivated her to keep going even when she thought she couldn’t. As the slowest runner on the team, Goebel’s teammates let her set the pace and ran alongside her, lifting her ruck off her back to carry the weight along with their own. During WKH Ă€YH KRXUV LW WRRN WR FRPplete the course, Fitzpatrick said they stopped running three times at the most. “It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do,â€? Goebel said. “I’m so much slower than the guys and it’s mentally defeating, like I’m letting my team down.â€? After talking to the other women in the challenge, Goebel said her teammates were especially supportive. Even though she felt like she was running through tar, her team was there to mentally carry her through the competition. Developing the concept of teamwork is one objective of the Ranger Challenge. “The underlying factor, especially for the freshmen and sophomores, is to be around juniors and seniors to intermingle and learn and develop,â€? VanOvermeer said. “For juniors and seniors who are getting ready to commission it’s about identifying the quality traits in people and

building a team and making it cohesive.â€? And of course when it’s all said and done, everyone likes to win and that’s why we compete in the challenge, VanOvermeer said. One of the main reasons for UI’s success was the fact that they decided to focus RQ D IHZ VSHFLĂ€F HYHQWV LQstead of the challenge as a whole, in particular the rope challenge and ruck marching. Their dexterity in these events gave them the edge they needed to win by a margin of 15 minutes. “They weren’t the best at everything but they were really good at everything,â€? VanOvermeer said. “Some teams were the best at something but they weren’t that good at anything else.â€? Although the Ranger Challenge is an admirable accomplishment, Fitzpatrick and VanOvermeer have their sights set even higher. Based on their performance at the Ranger Challenge, Fitzpatrick said the UI team might be selected to compete in the Sandhurst Competition at West Point — a competition that is a step above the Ranger Challenge because of its international notoriety. Only one American team has ever won Sandhurst. “I’m hoping for a chance,â€? he said. “That’s all we’re asking. I don’t think we would disappoint anyone if we went.â€?

names to faces, like ‘Oh yeah, I read your paper two weeks ago, it was on...’ So there’s kind of intangible value in meeting the people, talking to them ... it’s easy to start collaborations that way.â€? While the majority of award winners use the grant to attend conferences, some — such as evolutionary ecology Ph.D. candidate Simone Des Roches Âł XVH WKH PRQH\ IRU Ă€HOG work and research. Des

Roches used her nearly $500 grant to travel to the White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, where she has been documenting the development of lizards with certain variations. “This travel grant went toward basically mileage, both the trip back, the driving back, and for travel between our apartment in $ODPRJRUGR DQG WKH Ă€HOG site, which we go to every day,â€?

Hannah Kiser, a member of the Idaho cross country team, starts a run with her teammates on Monday. Kiser has been undefeated this season, and was named the WAC’s Verizon Women’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week earlier this month.

Idaho cross-country runner Hannah Kiser is on pace for a historic season after winning all four of her regular season cross-country meets. Kiser’s season has been a pleasant surprise to her and her team, and she will try to continue it at the WAC Championships in Honolulu on Oct. 29, where the Vandals will compete for their second straight title. “I think the expectations were there for her to have a very good cross-country season but she has far exceeded those,” coach Wayne Phipps said. “It almost seems like her ability is limitless.” Kiser’s undefeated season comes in spite of battling injuries in the preseason. Early IT band issues, shin pain and back pain plagued Kiser during summer training. “It was kind of a rough training in the summer for me,” Kiser said. “I was worried that I was going to let everybody down but I took the time off I needed and got better.” Kiser started her 2011 crosscountry season as the top collegiate

runner at the Inland Northwest Cross Country Classic Sept. 3 in Spokane. She finished the 4.2 mile course in 14:11.3. Kiser followed up with a Sept. 17 victory at the Sundodger Invitational in Seattle. In the process of finishing as the top collegiate runner, Kiser also set a school record in the women’s 6,000 meter race with a time of 20:58.43. Kiser’s third win proved to be her biggest challenge. She won the 5,000-meter Bill Dellinger Invitational, a race she was not favored to win, on Oct. 1. “She won (the Bill Dellinger Invitational) against a very good field,” Phipps said. “All the University of Oregon runners, University of Wisconsin (runners) and a girl that was fifth at nationals from the year before.” Kiser’s latest win came Oct. 15 at the Santa Clara Bronco Invitational. She dominated the field with a time of 16:55.3 in the 5,000 meter race. No other runners were within 10 seconds of Kiser when she crossed the finish line. Kiser’s strong performances have

helped the Idaho women’s crosscountry team to two second place finishes, a fourth and a fifth. Phipps said Kiser’s domination on the course can be attributed to her natural talent and hard work but most importantly, her competitive spirit. “One of the things that sets her apart is her level of competitiveness,” Phipps said. “Whatever challenge gets thrown in front of her, she’s up to and exceeds it.” Phipps and the cross-country coaching staff first caught sight of Kiser after her state track meet at the end of her senior year of high school in Wenatchee, Wash. She followed that up with a great first year of college running during the 2010 cross-country season, where she helped lead the Idaho women’s cross-country team to a WAC title. “She had a very good freshman year last year in cross-country then had an amazing track season,” Phipps said. “Every race, she just keeps getting better and better and it’s just been an incredible year so far.”

The Vandal volleyball team ended its win streak this weekend, falling to San Jose State and No. 7 Hawaii. The Vandals (11-11, 5-4 WAC) had won five consecutive games coming into the weekend, but that ended Friday night with a heartbreaking five-set loss to San Jose State. The Vandals will have to wait until Thursday to start another streak when they take on La. Tech and then New Mexico State on Saturday. Idaho coach Debbie Buchanan said she thought the Spartans were a better team than their record showed. “Both teams definitely came to play,” Buchanan said. “We talked to the kids about the importance of this match because we know San Jose is playing well, they just beat Utah State in four. It was a battle for sure.” The teams went back and forth for the first four sets and it all came down to a pivotal fifth set. The Vandals had a 6-5 lead at one point, but the Spartans went on a 7-0 run and took a commanding lead. Idaho battled back, but it was too late as the Spartans took the set 15-12, clinching the match and defeating Idaho in San Jose for the second year in a row. Buchanan said it came down to her team not executing in the end.

“We need to be better in those fifth games as far as execution,” Buchanan said. “We didn’t give up a run of seven points throughout the whole match, and then we did it in game five.” The Vandals dropped their second match of the road trip when they were swept at Hawaii. Similar to their first meeting this season, the match was close throughout with 32 ties and 13 lead changes, but in the end Hawaii proved to be too much for the Vandals. In the first and third set Idaho trailed 23-24 down the stretch, but on both occasions we’re unable to tie and extend the match. Senior Alicia Milo was the star for Idaho this weekend, with 37 kills between the two matches and snagging her fifth doubledouble of the year at San

Jose State. The Vandals will have to rebound and try to get back on track as they head into the final stretch of the season. The Vandals are third in the WAC and will need to nab a few more wins to keep that position heading into the WAC tournament. The Vandals swept La.

SOCCER

Vandals take it down to the wire to qualify for WAC tournament !#&'(,-&.#Argonaut

Vandal soccer did it. The team achieved its preseason goal and clinched qualification in an unprecedented second consecutive WAC tournament. The Vandals punched their ticket to Fresno with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Nevada Sunday at Guy Wicks field. It wasn’t without the proverbial drama and adversity that has seemingly enveloped the program all season. An almost demoralizing 3-0 loss to Utah State days prior, a game in which Utah State scored all of their goals in the second half, meant that Idaho faced a must-win scenario when they hosted the Wolf Pack.

You can’t leave anything out there — win or go home EDVLFDOO\ Âľ FRDFK 3HWH Showler said. “We have to get the win, it’s as simple DV WKDW Âľ The Vandals took their qualification for the WAC tournament down to the final 10 minutes of the conference season after battling Nevada to a 1-1 draw late in the second half.

President Barack Obama said the words many Americans have been anxiously waiting to hear since U.S. forces stepped foot on Iraqi soil in March 2003 — our troops are coming home. 2EDPD RIÀFLDOO\ DQQRXQFHG WKH HQG RI the war in Iraq Oct. 21, and said all American troops will be withdrawn by the end of 2011, a condition established by President George W. Bush in 2008. In the next two months, 40,000 soldiers will be reunited with their family, friends and communities, and they deserve it. We should be happy for the families most directly affected by overseas combat because they no longer have to spend every day wondering if their solider will make it through.

And this is where the focus of Obama’s announcement should be. Not in the politics of red versus blue and not in next year’s presidential election. The move is not about going against Republican beliefs or playing to Democrat voters. It is about how our troops have now EHHQ ÀJKWLQJ WKLV ZDU IRU D GHFDGH DQG LW LV time to stop.

Obama said in his announcement the nation that needs to be built now is our

own. Most Americans — Republican or Democrat — should be able to agree on this point. It is time to address our discouraging economy, and actually have troops stationed in our country. Our troops need to be put in a position to protect the people they serve rather than being sent to every other country in the world, and that change begins with the Department of Defense. It is time the U.S. 'HSDUWPHQW RI 'HIHQVH DGMXVWHG WR IXOÀOO the service it was set up to do. Withdrawing from Afghanistan needs to be next.

Skip, a 1968 University of Idaho graduate in history, and Doug, a 1974 graduate in journalism, were major supporters of this program to spotlight ethical challenges in the digital age.

Now what is the real value of a degree? We all know of someone who did well in class, earned their degree and headed off to the workforce only to return to school later in need of further education. They were forced to come back because the value we place on our education is disproportionate to the value employers place on that same education. If our degree isn’t enough to get us a job, should a degree be enough to make our teachers’ words doctrine? Yes, a degree still holds value, but only because it is a societal expectation, not because it guarantees any tangible EHQHÀWV :H PXVW DOO WDNH UHsponsibility for our own education. No professor, classmate or adviser should value our education more than we do. We need to conduct our own research and make knowledge the priority, not grades. This is our only opportunity to create separation from the crowd. This is how we achieve our goals, and how we achieve the American Dream.
