University of Idaho Parking

and Transportation Services

has installed 12 90-day trial

SmartMeters, which accept

both card and coins and have

no time limit.

The SmartMeters are

located in parking lot 53 on

University Avenue, south of

the Life Sciences South build-

ing, and also in parking lot 102,

which includes the on-street

parking on Blake Avenue near

the Lionel Hampton School of

Music.

“These meters are a lot

more convenient for every-

one, because it provides an

easier payment method and

currently there is no set time

limit,” said Rebecca Couch,

parking and transportation

information specialist. “Since

the meters are digital,

we are able to track how

much and how often it’s

used, which is a much-

needed improvement

from the regular coin

meters.”

Payment to park at

the meters is required

Monday through

Friday, 6 a.m. to 9

p.m. and costs $1.50

per hour. For the trial

meters, maximum

parking time per in-

dividual in unlimited,

however, if they are

purchased, Couch said

limitations on parking

time will be adjusted to

accommodate demand

and how they decide to

use them.

Steven Devine | ArgonautThe University of Idaho has been conducting research to provide safer street crossings in high-flow areas of campus. One cross-ing is between the Student Union Building and the UI VandalStore on Deakin Avenue. One safety enhancement idea is a raised sidewalk, giving a visual aid to help drivers slow down.

Tony Marcolina | ArgonautZipcar has moved parking from the visitor parking area on Ray-burn Street to lot !ve between Theophilus Tower and Wallace Residence Complex. In addition to this change, the 30-minute parking adjacent to the VandalStore has been changed to a Gold/Red lot to add to parking for permit holders.

As a way to increase awareness of the tutoring options available at the University of Idaho, the Tutoring and Academic Assistance Program is making changes to the way tutoring is adver-tised, said Ali Bretthauer, manager of the Tutoring Counseling Center.

She said students usually ÀQG� RXW� DERXW� VWXG\� VHV-sions later in the semester.

“We wanted to ensure VWXGHQWV� ÀQG� RXW� DERXW� WX-toring as quickly as pos-sible,” she said.

She said tutoring is avail-able for anyone who has questions about a subject

and the people who get the best grades start tutoring sessions early.

UI has offered drop-in tutoring sessions for a few years and more recently has started guided tutor-ing sessions.

The guided sessions have tutors there to help answer questions who are employed E\� 8,� DQG� REWDLQ� FHUWLÀFD-tion through the College of Reading and Learning Asso-ciation, she said.

Though the tutors do not KDYH� WR� EH� FHUWLÀHG� EHIRUH�starting, they do require train-ing as part of employment.

The tutors are usually students or graduate stu-dents that have taken the course they are tutoring and

received an A or B. They also hire professionals.

One of the tutors is Deborah Duricka, who has a bachelor’s in Biochemistry, a master’s in Microbiology, and a Ph.D. in Nuerosci-HQFH�� PDNLQJ� KHU� TXDOLÀHG�to tutor a variety of subjects Bretthauer said.

She said currently people can only see the times and locations of the study ses-sions, however they are going to roll out a new way to view them.

The new view is much like the events calendar UI has, and will offer a link for people to view a PDF file, she said. It will also have the option for students to receive a

notification of tutoring sessions to their phone, Facebook and Outlook account, she said.

On top of changing the way tutoring session times can be viewed, they are also making small group tutor-ing request forms available online, Bretthauer said.

“Guided sessions are helpful, but a small group session is the most effec-tive,” she said.

Guided study sessions for the spring semester start Jan. 22 and students will be able to utilize the new way to view those sessions start-ing Jan. 21.

ASUI Vandal Entertain-ment has designed a way for non-traditional students WR� UHDS� WKH� EHQHÀWV� RI� WKHLU�student activity fees. Daytime Distractions, a program that brings performances into the Idaho Commons Food Court during lunch, has been added to the calendar of events for the spring semester.

Colleen Quinn, direc-tor of student involvement, created the program Daytime Distractions as a part of Vandal Entertainment. Acts range from cooking shows to local singers such as Jacob Cummings, who performed Wednesday.

“I mainly work with Colleen Quinn to establish contacts with businesses in Moscow or people at the University of Idaho that have talents that they want to showcase,” said Lobna Ab-del-Rahim, student director of Daytime Distractions.

Funding for Daytime Distractions is provided by a portion of student activity fees that is allotted to the De-partment of Student Involve-ment Programming Fund.

Quinn said the costs for the program are minimal because most of the acts perform for free, leaving only the costs of setup and takedown.

“In starting the program I was thinking of it as a way for students to de-stress and as a means to create a sense of community,” Quinn said. “Daytime Distractions is for students to hang out and enjoy their lunchtime while maybe learning something QHZ�RU�ÀQGLQJ�D�ZD\� WR�JHW�involved.”

Abdel-Rahim said the Department of Student In-volvement plans to have more entertainment through Daytime Distractions than last semester and hopes to keep moving forward with the program. Student feed-back has been minimal, but students can make sugges-tions for performances and feedback by emailing [email protected], Abdel-Rahim said.

“I haven’t heard back from any students yet, but faculty member Rodney Frey said, ‘Thank you so much for putting on the daytime event, it was really neat to have that entertainment going on

during the day,’” Quinn said. Upcoming acts for the

semester include “Cooking with Campus Dieticians” on Jan. 21, “Spectrum II Art and Dance Studio” on Feb. 7 and “Tall Heights Band” on Feb. 13.

Daytime Distractions take place in the Commons Food Court and all events occur from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Entertaining distractionsNew Daytime Distractions aimed toward non-traditional students

Hayden Crosby | ArgonautJacob Cummings performed Wednesday afternoon in the Idaho Commons for Daytime Distractions hosted by the Department of Student Involvement.

The League of Women Voters of Moscow advocated for a single point of access for information on housing, food instability, medical care, transportation and child care at the eighth Poverty on the Palouse forum Wednesday.

The League of Women 9RWHUV� FRQGXFWHG� D� ÀYH�part poverty study on these topics starting in 2011 and concluding at the end of 2012.

“We’ve learned that there is poverty here,” said Jennifer O’Laughlin, former president of the League of Women Voters of Moscow.

Highlights from the 51-page report were pre-sented at the forum, in-cluding statistics on how poverty affects Moscow residents.

For instance, 56 percent of Moscow renters are unable to afford the $612 per month fair market rent of a two-bedroom apartment.

Coming in 2013 to Moscow, the Family Promise program is a faith-based, national non-SURÀW� RUJDQL]DWLRQ� WKDW�offers food and a place to stay to homeless families ZKLOH�WKH\�ÀQG�PRUH�SHU-manent homes.

Bruce Pitman, board president for Family Promise, said more than 20 congregations are already involved in establishing Family Promise on the Palouse. Once the group has found a location, they will hire a director and announce a start date for the program.

The forum also in-cluded an update on the Community Health Asso-ciation of Spokane’s plan to put a clinic in Moscow this spring.

CHAS provides healthcare, includ-ing general, dental and mental to people regard-less of whether they have insurance or not.

Steve Bonnar, chair-man of the committee and head of Sojourn-

ers Alliance, said the CHAS clinic is coming to Moscow as a direct result of the Poverty on the Palouse forum.

Mayor Nancy Chaney said the people of Moscow are responsive to poverty issues, but communication is not good.

Other projects the city is involved in include ac-cepting EBT cards at the Moscow Farmers Market, a program supported by Backyard Harvest.

In 2012, the market accepted $6,212 in EBT sales.

Bev Bafus, treasurer of Backyard Harvest, VDLG� WKH�QRQ�SURÀW�JURXS�processes the cards by swiping them and giving wooden tokens for people to buy produce at the market.

The Idaho Foodbank offers a school backpack program, where eligible children are given back-packs containing two each of breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks on the last day of the school week.

The poverty study said 2,000 backpacks are dis-tributed each week, but about 7,000 are needed.

As for the food stamp program in Idaho, only 55 percent of those eli-JLEOH�XVH�WKH�EHQHÀWV��DF-cording to the study.

The study highlighted resources in Moscow for each category, such as housing options, food shelters, childcare options and healthcare options.

In each category, the League of Women Voters advocated for a more centralized resource list.

Bonnar said there will be such a list eventually, but these groups must be cautious not to get into too many programs too quickly.

“There is only so much our communities can absorb at one time,” Bonnar said, attributing the statement to Chaney.

Couch said if permanently installed, the SmartMeters would also be a sustain-able addition to the UI campus, because it is solar powered and can recharge its batteries.

Nellie McGlashen, a UI senior who drives to campus and doesn’t have a parking pass, drives to campus two to

three times a week. McGlashen said she would drive more if the meters were more convenient.

“I’ve gotten a couple parking tickets I wasn’t very happy about from running out of time on my meter,” McGlashen said. “I OLNH�WKH�ÀH[LELOLW\�WKH\�SURYLGH��EHFDXVH�LI�something comes up after class and I have to stay for some reason, I wouldn’t have to VHDUFK� WR� ¿QG� FKDQJH�� WKHQ� UXQ� EDFN� DQG�forth to keep the time running.”

McGlashen said SmartMeters will most likely save a lot of people, herself includ-ed, from getting preventable tickets and forking over the money to pay them.

of how to make these streets safer began to be

drawn up, he said.

Hasko said during the Campus Planning

improve pedestrian walking, such as additional

Pankopf said.

The proposal includes putting in raised, en-

hanced pavement where people would walk, with

ramps coming up from street level to pedestrian

level on both sides, he said. This idea is used often

Vandal offensive lineman Jordan Johnson appeared in front of a

judge at the Latah C o u n t y C o u r t -h o u s e T u e s d a y for a DUI c h a r g e , a m o n g

other offenses, which arose from an early morning ci-tation the morning after Idaho’s season finale at Utah State.

Johnson pleaded not guilty to the offenses and a pretrial hearing was set for the morning of Feb. 6.

According to the affida-vit, an Idaho State Police officer pulled Johnson over at 2:37 a.m. on Nov. 25 after he failed to stop at a blinking red traffic light on Jackson Street in Moscow. The officer said that Johnson also failed to maintain his lane of travel.

The report stated that Johnson admitted to having consumed alcohol and he submitted breath test results of .153 — .141, more than Idaho’s legal limit of .08.

The state police officer said Johnson informed him that he had a small amount of marijuana in the driv-er’s side door. Also found in the vehicle was a bottle of Clomiphene Citrate, as well as a bottle of Tamoxi-fen Citrate. Both are pre-scription-only drugs and neither bottle had a pre-scription label, according to the report.

One of the mainstays on Idaho’s offensive line, Johnson started 11 of the Vandals’ 12 games last season, but has struggled with injuries since his red-shirt sophomore season.

File photo by Amrah Canul | ArgonautVandal forward Stephen Madison lays the ball up and over New Mexico State forward Remi Barry Jan. 12 in the Cowan Spectrum. Madison’s 21 points weren’t enough Thurs-day as Idaho committed four turnovers in the last two minutes of play during a 72-66 loss to La. Tech in Ruston. The Bulldogs’ Raheem Appleby had a game-high 22 points.

The difference between Idaho being undefeated in conference play through six games and its current 2-4 WAC record is an average of seven points, but that number might as well be infinity.

Hitting the road Thurs-day evening the Vandals once again went down to the wire only to walk away with the loss, falling to Louisiana Tech 72-66 in Ruston.

The loss is Idaho’s fourth consecutive, and fourth consecutive game in which Idaho was in a one-possession game with less than a minute remaining.

“I’d like to tell Vandal fans I have a heart, but I feel like it’s been ripped out and thrown on the ground,” Idaho coach Don Verlin said on the post-game radio show.

The first half saw an Idaho team with intensity getting off to the quick start, jumping out to a 15-6 lead and fending off a late first half charge from La. Tech to go into the locker room up 30-25 at the half.

Ultimately, though, this game was decided on ball security, and Idaho had very little of it. The Vandals gave

La. Tech 33 points from turnovers, which, combined with the Bulldogs sinking eight second-half 3-point-ers, sealed Idaho’s fourth consecutive loss.

The biggest of which, a Connor Hill turnover with 1:26 left, leading to La. Tech’s Kenneth Smith draining a 3-point shot to put the Bulldogs ahead 67-63 with 51 seconds re-maining.

“We just didn’t take care of the game,” Verlin said.

“But we turn it over 23 times and four or five times in the last five minutes of the game. We have got to find a way to secure the game.” Four of those turnovers came with under 1:30 re-maining in the game, when La. Tech closed the game out on an 8-3 run.

Dealing with a full-court press, which has been an issue for Idaho for the past couple of years, once again troubled Idaho. The Bulldogs pressured full-court the final 30 minutes of the game. From there, it was trouble for Idaho to find offensive rhythm.

“They did a good job of pressuring us, I think we did a decent job of dealing with it,” Verlin said. “…

This is another tough one to swallow. I think we made some good decisions, I thought we could get the ball to Kyle Barone well.”

The duo of Barone and Stephen Madison ended the game with a combined 40 points and 15 rebounds, taking 25 of Idaho’s 52 shot attempts and 16 of Idaho’s 18 free throw at-tempts. The rest of the team had trouble finding any rhythm.

“Between those two (point guards) they turn it over seven times. (Mansa Habeeb) never got in a flow, was hampered by foul trouble,” Verlin said.

The late game woes are nothing new for the Vandals, which have experienced such heart break dating back as far as Nov. 23 against Montana when the Vandals relinquished a 17-point lead and never recovered.

´<RX� KDYH� WR� ÀJXUH� RXW�why you’re losing. You can’t regress on what you’re doing well,” Verlin said. “We’re defending very well. We rebound the ball well. We aren’t able to secure the ball, our guards are getting a little loose with the ball, they get easy baskets and

The Vandals have still never beat Louisiana Tech in women’s basketball and the Techsters overcame a ��SRLQW�GHÀFLW�WR�EHDW�,GDKR�67-58, snapping a two-game win streak for Idaho.

La. Tech improved its record against Idaho to 16-0 all-time and went a game up on the Vandals in WAC standings. The Vandals will have a chance to get back to their winning ways when they play Texas-Arlington

at home on Saturday. Junior Alyssa Charlston

said it was disappointing to come so close against a team Idaho has never beat.

“It’s frustrating to come in here and lose the big lead,” Charlston said. “It would have been a his-toric win for us. It’s just frustrating.”

The Vandals played a VROLG� ÀUVW� KDOI� DJDLQVW� WKH�Techsters — thanks in big part to freshman Chris-tina Salvatore’s 14 points — and took a 36-27 lead going into the locker room.

The two teams started off close, but Idaho used an 8-0 run early to build a lead. Louisiana Tech stayed in range, but Idaho held a comfortable lead for PRVW�RI�WKH�ÀUVW�KDOI��

“We came out strong,” Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. “I thought we played extremely well on both sides of the ball.”

The Vandals came out of the second on fire, going on a 14-3 run to start the period and found themselves up by 20 just four minutes in. The

Techsters countered with a 27-5 run to dissolve the Idaho lead and take a lead of their own. The Vandals tied the game one more time, but the Techsters never lost momentum and went on to win.

Salvatore said Idaho didn’t react strong enough when the shots stopped falling and gave up the momentum.

“We’ve done a better job at winning, even when our shots aren’t falling,” Salvatore said. “Tonight I think we kind of gave it

to them.”Junior Alyssa Charlston

Nine teams are set to come to Moscow Saturday for the Idaho Collegiate I and the Idaho Open I indoor track meets. The meets were origi-nally planned to run on sepa-rate days but now they will run as one meet on Saturday. The Idaho Collegiate I is the competitive college meet while the Idaho Open I is an open meet that will include some high school students.

Some of the teams joining the Vandals include Washington State, Whit-worth, Spokane Community College, Lewis and Clark State College, Western Washington, Central Wash-ington and Gonzaga.

“The team looks great,” Idaho coach Wayne Phipps said. “Everyone did a great job over the break and came back in really good shape.”

It is still early in the season, so many teams, in-cluding the Vandals, will not compete with their full squads. Most of the distance runners for the Vandals are not competing for the second straight meet as they continue to train through the early portion of the season.

“If we continue to see good marks like we did last week, even though at this point in the year putting in a lot of volume and training hard, then that’s a good sign for our future,” Idaho coach Julie Taylor said.

Last week, Idaho ath-letes broke school and meet records in their season opener at WSU.

“I feel like we’re a little bit ahead of where we were last year, which is great,” Taylor said. “I think it will be a true test once we get through this weekend and the next to kind of see more how we are as a team.”

The first couple of

meets of the season are the best chances for freshmen and newcomers to prove themselves to coaches and teammates and test the waters of Division I colle-giate competition.

“Ian Middleton, Blake Gerling and Nathan Stark all really did well (last) weekend,” Taylor said. “Also Drew Thompson … he had a very good start. We had a number of kids that came out for their first weekend.”

Competing at home early in the season offers several advantages to the Vandals. They don’t have to spend time away from training and classes, which is a huge ad-vantage early in the semes-ter. Several athletes also like the comfort of competing in a familiar environment.

“This is a very comfort-able place for us,” senior jumper Jason Lorentz said. “We train here year-round. We’ve got a phenomenal indoor facility. Hands down there’s a comfort level that you experience here.”

The Vandals are still holding some of their ath-letes for one more meet but the athletes are eager to get started and continue their success from last year, when the men won the WAC Indoor Championship.

“There’s definitely work to do but the boys are looking to go back and win another conference championship and I know the women are looking to do a little better than we did last season, especially with a better team than we had last season,” junior hurdler Cait Rowland said. “Everyone is looking pretty optimistic and de-finitively putting in a lot of hard work for it.”

Coming off last year’s successful season, the Vandal men’s tennis team is ready to pick up where it left off when the season begins this Sunday at Eastern Washington.

The Vandals bring back an experienced squad this season with five seniors on their roster. Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said the depth will be impor-tant for the Vandals.

“We probably have the most talented team in terms of depth and overall talent that we’ve had at Idaho,” Beaman said. “The big thing is how does this team play under com-petition, and Eastern will be a good test.”

The Vandals haven’t competed since Novem-ber, but team captain Abid Akbar said the team is looking fit and ready to make an impact.

“It feels good,” Akbar said. “I think everybody did their best over break

and kept working out. We’ve been practicing for a week and everyone looks good, so I’m excited.”

A k b a r and Marius Cirstea enter the season as the top r a n k e d d o u b l e s team in the M o u n t a i n Region after winning the ITA region-al doubles c h a m p i o n -ship and making it to the National Indoor In-tercollegiate Champion-ships.

“They’re No. 1 in the region and we’re in a good region,” Beaman said. “To know that you have a team that beat USC’s No. 1 team and they won four national championships, when you have that option out

there, it’s a nice option to have.”

Akbar was also rec-ognized and is ranked

seventh in singles for the Moun-tain Region.

“I feel very honored to have a good partner and a good c o a c h , ” Akbar said. “It’s good to be up there and hope-fully we can inspire the t e a m m a t e s and they can get in the rankings as well.”

Another bonus for the Idaho tennis team is getting sophomore Dmitry Perevoshchikov back. Perevoshchikov spent last year at Idaho but returned to his home country of Russia to coach. Perevoshchikov

adds to Idaho’s already deep roster, a roster Akbar said is competitive all the way around.

“Anyone can play anywhere on the team right now,” Akbar said. “Everybody looks good and the depth is impor-tant in tennis and I think we’re looking really good right now.”

After Eastern this weekend, the Vandals will keep at it, traveling to Oregon where they will face Nevada on Jan. 26 and DePaul on Jan. 27.

Team captain Jose Bendeck said the team is feeling good about its chances this season.

“We just need to keep working hard,” Bendeck said. “We have a good team with players that play at a really high level. I’d say we have one of the best teams we’ve ever had and that’s huge for us going in.”

“It cost us in the first half, it certainly cost us in the second half,” Newlee said. “That’s an effort thing and a physical thing. Our kids got to get tougher inside, I do know that. Ev-eryone had to rebound and do their share.”

This isn’t the first time the Vandals have given up a big lead in the second half. Newlee said his team just needs to stay more composed and not get careless.

“We got the big lead and I think again we had some people rushing shots, taking quick shots and being carless with the basketball,” Newlee said. “Then from a defensive standpoint we gave them some good looks and let them get going.”

If ever there is a stretch in Idaho’s schedule for a turn-around to be possible the upcoming three-game stretch just may be it.

Idaho will face Texas-Ar-lington Saturday, which lost 61-44 to Seattle on Thursday.

Idaho will then come home to face Texas State and Texas-San Antonio — who have combined to go 0-12 in WAC play through Thursday.

“Like I told (my players), I’ll treat you like profession-als. This is a business trip. Hell yes I’m down, Vandal fans should be down. Very easily this record could be totally different but it’s not,” Verlin said. “We got to tie it up tomorrow and come back on Saturday and bust our tail DQG�ÀQG�D�ZD\�WR�JHW�D�ZLQ�µ

As humans, we all

strive to be part of a group

to identify ourselves with

an idea, way of life or

culture. In the past, we

referred to these com-

mon groups as tribes — a

group of people trying to

live together out of a common un-

derstanding and need for security

against outside dangers.

Turns out human nature has

not changed very much in the past

thousand years. In our modern

culture, we still associate our-

selves with these tribes. Yet today

we have assigned different vo-

cabulary to them such as cliques,

clubs and sororities/fraternities.

However, this idea has trans-

ferred over into a part of our

lives that is proving increasingly

dangerous to our society. Speak-

ing in the broadest terms, we now

associate with a political party not

out of logic, reason or rationale

but through cultural ties such as

the family, community or religion

we were born into.

Furthermore, we have now

projected a tribal identity to

these political parties by

assigning mascots, col-

ors and certain sayings

to one party or another.

Introducing a new Opinion

series on the effect agricultural de-

velopments have on society.

No matter what religion

you follow, you are prob-

ably familiar with the

story of Adam and Eve. A

man and woman lived in

lush, all-inclusive paradise

until a talking serpent

persuaded them to disobey

their creator by eating the forbid-

den fruit.

Betrayed by his creations, God

casts them out of this paradise for-

ever, and consequently, the human

race inherits the curse of original

sin and is doomed to suffer for

eternity. Depressing, no?

A similar story can be found in

the history of our species, but our

fall had nothing to do with any

fruit. Rather, it was a consequence

of our ancestors’ shift from hunt-

ing and gathering to an agricul-

tural lifestyle.

The majority opinion is agri-

culture allowed us to create civi-

lization and master our destiny as

a species. We live longer, we can

survive anywhere and there are

more of us: surely agriculture was

a boon for our species, right?

According to Robb Wolf’s

“The Paleo Solution:

7KH�2ULJLQDO�+XPDQ�Diet,” we may be cor-

rect to assume we live

longer than the average

hunter-gatherer and

lead much safer lives

than our ancestors,

but to assume we are

healthier now is pure foolish-

ness. Hunter-gatherers had

to work for their food, they

couldn’t drive down to the

corner store and buy a bag of

Cheetos. So not only were they

in far better physical condition

just from going out and quite

literally chasing down their

meals, they were eating far

healthier food.

Their prey was wild, free

from hormones and unnatural

diets. The meat was far superior

in quality. The average hunter-

gatherer was anything but

wasteful — they wouldn’t even

let their prey’s nutritious

the nation another at-bat — an-

other chance to serve this coun-

WU\��IXOÀOO�FDPSDLJQ�SURPLVHV�and lead the people of America

through another four years of

tough decisions.

After inheriting a global

economic recession, violence

and unrest in the world and what

was described by “Biography”

magazine as “the lowest favor-

DELOLW\�UDWLQJ�IRU�WKH�8QLWHG�States ever,” it’s clear that one

As a nation, we need to look

positivity toward a better future.

As writer and author Samuel

Johnson said, “Great works are

performed not by strength, but by

perseverance,” and those words

will ring true during the next four

years.

Whether you’re a registered

Republican or designated Demo-

crat, we can all agree on one

thing: it’s time to invest in us,

solve problems, as he said: “The

challenges we face are real. They

are serious and they are many.

They will not be met easily or in

a short span of time. But know

this America: They will be met.”

The votes were tallied nearly

two months ago — now is the

time to focus not on the unhappi-

ness caused because our pre-

ferred presidential candidate was

not elected, but on our ability

to come together for the greater

good of our country. If “We the
