This week, UI will celebrate na-tional Farmworker Awareness Week, ending with the commemoration of Cesar Chavez Day.

Farmworker Awareness Week is designed to raise awareness of farm-worker issues on college and univer-sity campuses.

The week-long events commenced Monday with a presentation on farm-working struggles throughout time titled, “Harvesting the Fields Through-out Time,” and the “Bandana Project,” a public awareness campaign aimed at “addressing the issue of workplace sexual violence against migrant farm-worker women in the United States.”

Today, events continue with the National Cesar E. Chavez Blood Drive Challenge, where UI students will compete with more than 260 other campuses nationwide to collect the most donations.

“We have had the blood drive for the past couple of years. The whole challenge is to see who can get the most people to donate blood,” said Jesse Martinez, associate director for programs and outreach at the College Assistance Migrant Program. “Last \HDU�ZH�ÀQLVKHG�QLQWK�QDWLRQDOO\��2XU�

Philip Vukelich | ArgonautDuring a "ood warning Monday, Paradise Creek overran its banks behind the VandalStore. There is a 40 percent chance of precipitation today and rain is expected for the rest of the week.

The University of Idaho’s College of Educa-tion will work with Koo-tenai Technical Educa-tion Campus to train new instructors, said Robert Ketchum, a lecturer with the UI Department of Cur-riculum and Instruction.

“I was brought in last fall to assist in the northern part of the state,” Ketchum said. “So my role is to offer courses for professional technical education teach-ers who have gone to work in Idaho as new teachers.”

The teachers start with DQ�LQLWLDO�FHUWLÀFDWLRQ��DQG�then complete a series of courses for professional technical education, and earn a standard teaching FHUWLÀFDWLRQ�IRU�WKH�WHFKQL-FDO�ÀHOGV��

New KTEC instructors will teach classes in auto-motive technology, manu-facturing and engineering, welding and construction. Courses in the health pro-fessions and nursing will also be offered.

High school juniors and seniors are eligible to attend KTEC part time in conjunction with a tradi-tional school, Cotner said, and graduate with a high school diploma and an in-GXVWU\�FHUWLÀFDWLRQ�

7LPH�WUDYHO�LV�QR�HYHU\GD\�RFFXUUHQFH��EXW�ÀYH�University of Idaho students joined about 1,000 others from around the country, and relived history as they walked for their rights in a reenactment of the 1965 civil-rights march from Selma to Mont-gomery, Ala., March 4 through 9.

The march demanded the repeal of Alabama’s H.B. 56 anti-immi-gration law which requires a law HQIRUFHPHQW�RIÀFHU� WR�PDNH�D� UHD-sonable attempt to determine the citizenship of a person stopped, de-tained or arrested, when reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States, according to Alabama state law.

Maricela Avila, a UI sophomore, marched the 54-mile journey, and said the peaceful protest did more than commemorate the original of �� E\� VKRZLQJ� SHRSOH� WKH� ÀJKW�IRU�ULJKWV�LVQ·W�ÀQLVKHG�

“Voting rights, labor rights and privacy rights are being endan-gered. This is how it started in ‘65 — if people hadn’t been brave enough to stand up for their rights, we wouldn’t have those rights today,” Avila said. “Living in Idaho, we’re comfort-able sitting on our couches thinking these issues don’t concern us, but even though I don’t live in Alabama, this still affects my family and I.”

Avila and UI’s four other participants are members of the activist group Movimiento Ac-tivista Social (MAS) and the Idaho Community Action Network (ICAN).

MAS focuses on immigration, social justice within communities and helping minorities get higher education opportunities.

Avila said a key motivator of the group’s participation in the march was the injustice of UDFLDO�SURÀOLQJ�

“It’s our responsibility as citizens. This is an-ti-constitutional,” Avila said. “We can’t just sit back, cross our arms and ignore it. We need to question everything, just because I’m comfort-able doesn’t mean everyone is.”

the way it is happening,” Avila said. “Children can’t even go to school without being asked if they are legal, which could lead to the investiga-tion of their parent’s legal citizenship.”

Avila said protesters walked 10 to 12 miles each day and participated in peaceful rallies at night, which focused on the different issues sur-

rounding H.B. 56. “There was a night focused on edu-

cation, one on labor and farm worker rights, immigration rights — each night there was a different emphasis,” Avila said.

Senior Gloria Jimenez walked for WZR�RI� WKH�ÀYH�GD\�PDUFK�DQG�VDLG�the opportunity was eye-opening and made her realize there are a lot of issues going on.

“A law with this many ideas about minorities will inevitably lead to UDFLDO� SURÀOLQJ� EHFDXVH� DQ\RQH� LQ�Alabama who is colored and enters a public school can be questioned,” Jimenez said.

Jimenez said she wants to help educate the Idaho communities about the importance of these issues

and how they can be changed.“Be active. Elect leaders that will represent

change, while being supportive,” Jimenez said. “People, especially in the Latino communities, need to realize how important it is to be pro-active and vote. There’re so many Latinos who are eligible to vote, but aren’t registered.”

Jimenez said she wants to get minority groups educated and show them that they can implement change to make a difference.

“The march was amazing, and a great op-portunity and experience for all of us,” Jimenez said. “On a professional level, it was awesome to see other activists around the nation support-ing this issue. Getting to know other student organizers and work with them was inspiring.”

Jimenez said everyone needs to understand and be reminded of social inequality that happens every day.

“2012 is a time for change — it’s a year to voice our opinions, encourage people to vote and get edu-cated about the issues around us,” Avila said. “The history is around us. We’re living it. This march sent out a message and started a process. This chal-lenge is only the beginning of a new time.”

The Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse started hosting open mics to bring varied local per-formers together, including a woman who sings baroque, and a bluegrass band made up of four brothers.

The next one is scheduled for Saturday.

Peggy Jenkins, the event’s or-ganizer, said money from the open mics helps defray the cost of bringing more popular performers to Moscow.

Jenkins said the UU church is trying to establish itself as a music venue. She said a lot of church members are very musical.

“A lot of people in the church get a lot out of music,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins said she would like to see open mic nights happen at the end of every month.

April Rubino is a yoga instructor who has performed Kirtan, a Hindu call and chant form of singing, at the two previous open mics.

“It’s a nice way to introduce people to something they’ve never encountered before,” Rubino said.

Rubino said she hopes to start of-fering yoga classes at the UU church more often.

Jenkins said performances of all kinds are welcome. She said bluegrass and folk music has been played, and that they’ve also had spoken-word poetry.

“Join us. Participate. Share what-ever talents you have,” Rubino said.

Jenkins said there is always a woman there to sing baroque music.

Lysa Salsbury, program co-ordinator for the University of Idaho Women’s Center, has also performed at UU open mics. She sings folk music while her partner plays the guitar.

She said the open mic is a good SODFH�IRU�ÀUVW�WLPH�SXEOLF�SHUIRUPHUV�because the crowds are supportive.

Salsbury said the open mics also have a family-friendly atmosphere. There are usually refreshments, and beer and wine are also sold.

“It’s just a really fun event,” Sals-bury said.

Jenkins said the church was not looking to share any particular message through these open mics.

“We don’t spread a dogma on Sunday morning, we’re not going to do it on Saturday night,” Jenkins said.

After the fall election season, ASUI Senate updated its rules and regulations regarding the elections process,to provide clarity and fair-ness in the upcoming spring election.

Sen. Max Cowan wrote the bill amend-ing the 2000 series of rules and regula-tions. The 2000 series consists of election procedures, campaign definitions, and a newly crafted procedure for punishment of elections violations. The bill was spon-sored by Sen. Joe Heiner and was put im-mediately into effect with the approval of the senate and ASUI President Samantha Perez.

“The biggest goal of the bill was to make sure there was consistency through-out the rules and regulations and that it was easy to follow and understand,” Cowan said. “The biggest change was the addition of a procedure to deal with violations of the elections rules.”

Cowan said he did not think the elections rules were as fair as they could have been and his goal was to make sure the rules for dealing with elections were as just as possible.

“There was no real procedure for enforc-ing the entirety of the 2000 series of the elections rules,” Cowan said. “One of the

biggest complaints in the last election was that many people felt that the campaigning was biased, that ASUI was not a fair place, that ASUI was not doing its job to prevent corruption and with this rules and regula-tions change we’d like to see that the elec-tions reduce the appearance of corruption.”

The changes passed with a nearly unani-mous vote. Sen. Zack Goytowski was the only senator to vote against the amendments.

Goytowski said the provisions for dealing with elections violations could undermine the democratic process. He said the procedures are vast in scope and lack specificity. He said he fears the new power of ASUI to disqualify any elected candidate could be abused by elected and non-elected officials.

“The majority of the changes made to the rules and regulations were great. They added needed clarity and structure to the regulations,” Goytwoski said. “Unfortu-nately this was a package deal.”

Cowan said the rules and regulations do QRW� DVVLJQ� VSHFLÀF� SXQLVKPHQWV� WR� YLROD-tions because there is no way to account for every possible scenario.

“To try and list out which violations deserve which punishments is futile,” Cowan said. “In the interest of making the

rules be applicable for a long period of time we left it a little bit open.”

Cowan said some violations are more serious than others, such as defacing an opposing candidate’s campaign materials versus simply taking down an opponent’s campaign materials.

Each election violation could cost a candi-GDWH�D��ÀQH��XS�WR��RU�GLVTXDOLÀFDWLRQ�from the election if deemed appropriate by the elections coordinator and a voting committee.

“If a candidate was capable of looking at what kinds of violations deserved what punishments, in essence they’d be able to buy violations,” Cowan said. “You need the threat of the highest punishment in all cases in order to make sure that people comply with the rules and regulations.”

The changes to the rules and regulations also provide the ASUI elections coordinator power to suggest appropriate punishment for an accused candidate.

“In the interest of having a clear, coher-ent voice for ASUI it makes the most sense to have one person be deciding what the disciplinary action is and then to have a committee decide whether that disciplinary action is appropriate,” Cowan said.

Additional changes to the rules and regu-ODWLRQV� LQFOXGHG� FOHDUO\� GHÀQLQJ� WKH� WHUPV�

“voting booth” and “polling station” as they are used in the rules and regulations.

“Voting booth” refers to any electronic device open to the ASUI voting site where ballots may be submitted, while “polling station” applies to all spaces provided by ASUI for voting as designated by the elec-tions coordinator. Polling stations include computer labs, the Student Union Building, Bob’s Place and the Idaho Commons.

Candidates are prohibited from actively campaigning within 100 feet of such areas during election days. In addition, the updated rules and regulations provide that candidates PD\�QRW�DFWLYHO\�DWWHPSW�WR�LQÁXHQFH�YRWHUV�around computers or electronic devices that have the ASUI voting page open.

Cowan said all violations should be re-ported to the ASUI elections coordinator.

Perez said she thinks the changes were necessary.

“The changes were really good because it made our rules and regulations more clear and it also gave our elections coordi-nator the authority to penalize candidates when they’re running,” Perez said. “Now if you do something serious, you could ac-WXDOO\�EH�GLVTXDOLÀHG�µ�

QUICK TAKES ON LIFE FROM OUR EDITORS

Defining abortion

Gianna Jessen, because she survived a botched abortion on behalf of her 17-year-old mother, thinks she is ex-ceptional and abortion should be illegal. Well, the National Library of Medicine has news for her and the rest of us.

“It is estimated that up to half of all fertilized eggs die and are lost (aborted) spontaneously, usually before the woman knows she is pregnant. Among those women who know they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is about 15-20 percent. Most miscarriages occur GXULQJ�WKH�ÀUVW�VHYHQ�ZHHNV�RI�SUHJ-nancy (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002458/).”

So take heart, Gianna, we are all abortion survivors. Fully 50 percent of our fellow fertilized eggs got aborted.

So it’s no big deal.- Ralph Nielsen

0XVLF�HGXFDWLRQ�RIWHQ�SOD\V�VHFRQG�ÀGGOH�WR�math and science in our society, but DoSome-thing.org and the VH1 Save The Music Founda-tion are trying to change that mentality.

The third annual “Battle for the Bands” campaign started March 1 and will continue until April 26. The campaign provides teens and young people a way to advocate their belief in the importance of music education. Participants can submit an original video or rewrite the lyrics of a favorite song to express

their views on the value of music education. A mash-up of the best videos will be presented to politicians in Washington, D.C.

The “Battle for the Bands” campaign is a

“Without stress we would all be very, very, very nice. And stomach-churningly contented. And in all honesty, who wants to live in a world like that? Calm is for wimps. Get real.”

Years ago I read Kaz Cooke’s advice on living stressfully in “The Little Book of Stress.” I admit I have found her advice escaping me at many points, and felt the calm trying to creep up on me and catch me unawares.

It’s time to get real. A myriad of press companies have

recently published articles about the EHQHÀWV�RI�VWUHVV��1HZV�VRXUFHV�OLNH�7KH�Wall Street Journal and BBC present VFLHQWLÀF�— even almost logical — reasons social tension may be good for your health. Many ar-ticles say it helps you “get in the zone” and spurs peak performance.

There are many ways people “get in the zone,” a

majority of which are illegal. This makes stress even more desirable: It is free, legal and relatively safe.

An easy one to practice if you are a university student is always being late. An age-old stress tip, this tactic has worked wonders to give its user other stressors such as af-fected grades and forgotten assignments.

“Eat less food,” Cooke says, another WKULIW\� WLS� IRU� WKH�ÀQDQFLDOO\� VWUXJJOLQJ�and stress-lacking college student. And “Eat more preservatives. They are called preservatives because they help you live longer.” A college student can harness this tip by buying all your food at a gas station, preferably at night when hungry.

Applying for credit cards can be another great way to enhance your stress levels. Be sure to follow it with day-long shopping excursions with children

Ideas are the wheels of change, but without good communication and successful execution they remain ideas. The ASUI Student Fee and 7XLWLRQ�IRUXP�LV�DQ�LGHD�WKDW�IHOO�ÁDW�

University of Idaho students have no prob-lem expressing dissatisfaction with increases in tuition, and in particular, ASUI’s use of student fees on Facebook. But if students want to impact university decisions, they need to take the initiative to be proactive and voice their RSLQLRQV�LQ�WKH�ÁHVK�

The purpose of the forum was to inform students about how their tuition and student ac-tivity fee dollars are spent. It was an opportuni-ty for students to engage in conversations with ASUI President Samantha Perez, University of Idaho Provost Doug Baker and Executive Director of Planning and Budget Keith Ickes. Students could have asked questions about the proposed 6.1 percent increase in tuition for

the 2012-2013 academic year and their input would have been taken into consideration.

But only about 20 students participated in the forum, most of them ASUI senators who were required to attend.

Perez audited the various departments receiving funding from the student activity fee because of concerns about how the money was being spent — an issue students complain DERXW�HYHU\�\HDU��VSHFLÀFDOO\�LQ�UHJDUG�WR�IXQG-ing for athletics.

Students care enough about their money to engage in long conversation threads on Facebook, but not enough to spend a few hours listening and understanding all the components that go into developing a university budget. Of course, being educated about all aspects of a complex issue is hard work. It’s much easier to stay at home and spout off from behind the protection of a computer screen about the

misuse of our money instead of participating in a forum that might have made a difference.

It’s understandable that there may have EHHQ�VFKHGXOLQJ�FRQÁLFWV�DQG�VWXGHQWV�KDG�WR�work or attend class during the forum. Maybe students just didn’t know the forum was taking place. But poor attendance at the forum seems to be indicative of a more problematic issue — the inability of the university to communicate and a sense of apathy awmong students.

UI and its students need to work as a team to make an idea like the student fee and tuition forum successful. Teamwork requires good communication and trust in your teammates — communication to inform students when an event like the forum takes place and trust that students will show up.

The ASUI Student Fee and Tuition forum was a good idea. With a little more communi-cation and effort it might become a great idea.

Differences in culture, envi-ronment and societal values can create anxiety. Little things you don’t think about sud-denly stand out to you, such as the food or get-ting used to the metric system. Language barri-ers, a different educa-tion system and settling into new surroundings are enough to make anybody’s head spin. Pressure to get good grades combines with integrating into a new society and making the most of

a short experience.The decision to travel in a for-

creative way to ensure legislators hear student voices

and highlights the benefits of music education — ben-

efits that are too often ignored.

A study on the impact of music education on middle

school students showed that students in top-quality

instrumental programs scored 19 percent higher in

English and 17 percent higher in mathematics than chil-

dren in schools without a music program, according to

the Journal for Research in Music Education. A report

by the College Entrance Examination Board in 2006

revealed that students with experience in music perfor-

mance outscored their peers with no music education by

57 points on the verbal SAT and 43 on the math portion.

These findings show a direct correlation between

music education and high performance in academic sub-

jects. A 2006 U.S. Gallup poll indicated that 85 percent

of Americans believe music is an important part of their

life. But why doesn’t this belief correspond to what is

being taught in schools?

It is a challenging economic time in which funding

for education has been drastically cut. Public school

officials are forced to work with dwindling budgets and

make decisions about which school programs are most

important — decisions that often lead to the loss or

dramatic reduction of music education.

Music is an inherent part of our society. We use

music to express our emotions and demonstrate our

ideas. Music is indicative of our culture, and the music

industry is a valuable component of our economy. We

are born with an innate love of music and we should at

least have a basic understanding of this art form that

surrounds us.

More than 20,000 teens participated in last year’s

“Battle for the Bands” campaign and DoSomething.org

and the VH1 Save The Music Foundation hope to in-

crease this number, but advocacy efforts shouldn’t stop

there. Parents, teachers and students should continue to

spread the message within communities so children can

experience a complete education that includes music.

A world without music would be a boring, dismal

place — where children score lower in math and science.

time are usually under more pressure to familiarize them-

selves with the environment as quickly as possible.

Going abroad is an adventure that requires courage.

a different country gives you a new pair of eyes and broad-

ens your perspective. So take the challenge and experience

It’s easy to claim adulthood the

minute we turn 18 years old — it’s

like we think we know everything,

can do anything, and sim-

ply because of a number,

are mature. But maturity

is a gray area that seems

to be ever changing as we

grow older.

At 22, I am by no

means old and definitely

still have much to learn,

but it’s an interesting

limbo between a teen

and more mature adult.

There are days when I feel like a

giggling, silly 18-year-old who

makes juvenile comments and

laughs about dumb girl gossip.

And then there are days where your

best friends get married or have a

baby — those days make you feel

mature, like somehow when you

weren’t paying attention the world

decided to make you a real adult.

But in the midst of the gray

haze called maturity, I could not be

KDSSLHU�ÁRDWLQJ�EHWZHHQ�JURZLQJ�up and remaining a kid at heart. It’s

a time when you can still

enjoy getting excited to go

to the movies with a group

of girlfriends and talk about

how “hot” so-and-so is.

And then two days later be

enveloped in a tiny baby

boy who you can’t wait to

spoil, watch grow up and

teach all the little things

only an “adoptive” auntie

can.

In the past year and a half of

college, I have constantly made

comments about not wanting to

grow up or leave college. The irony

is you grow up in college. It was

LQ�P\�RIÀFH�DW�7KH�$UJRQDXW�WKDW�,�answered the phone when my best

friend called to tell me she was

engaged. It’s funny how we think

we won’t grow up if we don’t leave

a particular place, especially when

that place is college and intended to

develop a good chunk of maturity.

It turns out, growing up can

be incredibly rewarding. Being a

part of a wedding, holding a baby

or even being the person younger

classmen look to for advice. I’m

not sure when this happened, but

somehow I became a person others

look to for advice on how to spend

the remainder of their college

years. It’s a new area of the gray-

ness for me, one that never seemed

to be a possibility and just kind of

happened. It’s an accomplishment

we don’t strive for, but is just as

gratifying, if not more, than the

ones we do.

It’s taken a little time and a lot

of growing up when I wasn’t pay-

ing attention to make me realize

getting older isn’t so bad — in fact,

it’s more fun than trying to stay a

kid forever.
