Special Attraction — No Passes
Showtimes Effective 10/22/10-10/28/10
Aquarius 1/20 - 2/18
Take time away from work and
do something fun this weekend.
Your friends are always telling
you to take more risks, so why
not surprise them?
Pisces 2/19 - 3/20
Quit whining over your
breakup, that person wasn’t right
for you anyway. Focus on school-
work and moving on. Put aside
your emotional tendencies and
remember you have bigger things
ahead to worry about.
Aries 3/21 - 4/19
Your fiery personality may
get you places most of the time,
but a situation may arise this
weekend when it would be wise
to dial it back. Remember that
they’re humans with fragile egos,
just like you.
Taurus 4/20 - 5/20
Big decisions are ahead of you,
and probably causing a lot of
anxiety. Break out your best bottle
of wine (or soda, depending on
your age), cook a gourmet meal,
kick back with a movie and forget
about it all for a while. Clearing
your mind may be the best favor
you can do yourself.
Gemini 5/21 - 6/20
People tend to misunderstand
you, so take time to explain your-
self during a disagreement that
may arise this week. Seriously,
people don’t get you most of the
time. Work on that.
Cancer 6/21 -7/22
You can’t run from your prob-
lems forever, so do some soul-
searching and don’t be ashamed
to ask for advice. Pretty soon it
will all explode if you don’t deal
with your baggage. Dealing with a
problem one step at a time is easi-
er than a mess of built-up emo-
tions, and let’s be honest — your
friends will appreciate it, too.
Leo 7/23 - 8/22
Let someone else take the spot-
light during an upcoming social
event. Nobody likes an attention
hog, and they’ve been very patient
with you so far. Let your bubbly
personality show in other ways.
Virgo 8/23 - 9/22
Your specialty is fun, but
devote this weekend to getting
yourself organized for the next
few weeks. Party time can wait,
and it will make the time for play
more fun when it comes around.
Libra 9/23 - 10/22
Stop straddling the fence
between decisions and just pick
one. Avoid frustrations between
yourself and those closest to you
by making a choice and sticking
with it.
Scorpio 10/23 - 11/21
Skip the dramatics and keep
calm during this rough patch. The
only person you are responsible
for is yourself, so let others sort
through issues on their own.
You’ve got enough to worry about
and you can’t save everyone.
Sagittarius 11/22 - 12/21
Give yourself some credit and
stop dwelling on every mistake
you make. You work hard enough
to give yourself a break every
once in a while. Stress is bad for
your skin anyway.
Capricorn 12/22 - 1/19
Work may be stressful right
now, but you usually have mini-
mal trouble getting through it.
Even if everyone around you is
falling apart — focus on yourself.
Your penchant for being overly-
critical of others won’t help.

Zombies roam Moscow streets

The zombie apocalypse will
hit Moscow streets tomor-
row as the brain-eaters roam
the town for charity. Anyone
is welcome to participate
Saturday in Moscow’s second
annual Zombie Walk hosted by
Zombie Savant Entertainment
and Safari Pearl.
“The basic idea is that every-
one dresses up like a zombie,
meets at Friendship Square at 7
p.m. and walks around town,”
said Jesse Cramer, member of
Zombie Savant Entertainment.
Cramer said an interview
booth would be set up for
zombie characters.
“(The) zombie characters
get interviewed on how they
become zombies, favorite foods
and so on,” Cramer said.
There will also be a make-
up booth set up in Friendship
Square at 5 p.m. Students from
the University of Idaho theatre
department and others will get
people zombie-ready, Cramer
said. They are asking for $5 or
that participants bring their
own make-up.

Travelers beware: You might get sick
Any student who chooses
to study abroad will be un-
able to avoid becoming ill at
least once during his or her
journey. It may sound
nasty and brutish but
it is true.
There will be a
few days spent by
the nearest toilet at
all times. It is an un-
fortunate occurrence
and one that cannot
be avoided.
Sickness comes in

are hungry. It’s a tough time.
I’ve used them myself when I
couldn’t afford food.”
It’s a hard time economi-
cally and the food banks are
feeling it as well, Crozier said.
Kathy Sprague, owner of
Safari Pearl said giving back is
something that everyone can do.
“Understanding that …
helping other people and really
building community is critical,
especially in a college town
where people aren’t here for
very long,” Sprague said.
Sprague said she doesn’t
know why zombies are such
a craze.
“Twenty years ago it was
penguins and cows, now it’s
zombies,” Sprague said. “Some
character or creature becomes
iconic for awhile and you see
them all over the place and
right now it’s zombies’ turn.”
The goal of the event is

Preventative measures can

Phones taking the Pabst plunge
If you have ever dropped your
new Droid X in a tub of Keystone, this
article is for you.
Now whether or not it is
beer, a lake or even a bathtub
that swallows your phone,
the solution is universal. It
all starts with getting your
phone out of the liquid. Al-
though this sounds obvious,
most people panic as soon as
their phone makes contact
with any kind of liquid. So
instead of getting upset,
screaming and throwing your
arms around, reach in and
grab it right away, because
the less contact your phone
has with water, the better its chances
of survival.
The next step is drying out the
device. Unfortunately, this step has
become more like a game of
beer pong because everyone
has their own set of rules and
ideas. No matter the drying
method, the first important
thing is to get the phone’s
battery out.
Once the device is with-
out the battery, drop it in a
bag of uncooked rice. Some
people say to wrap the phone
ma dis on in towels or suggest other
wacky solutions, but in my
mccord two experiences, rice is the

John Kiser and his musical amigos

bethany breeze
rawr
John Kiser is the one with blue
hair. He marches five lines from
the front of the University of Idaho
Vandal marching band with a Mel-
lophone — the marching version of a
French horn.
Kiser said he is not afraid to
dance to his favorite song, Lady
Gaga’s “Bad Romance,” in front of
thousands of UI students and fans.
“Honestly, it’s fun to do, everyone
likes to dance. If we didn’t do it, it’d
be like BSU — boring,” Kiser said.
Kiser is one of about 200 stu-
dents who put in hours of time
and energy to entertain homecom-
ing crowds.
“We’re making sure that the
school has constant spirit,” he
said. “As the band, it’s our job to
make sure everyone is excited and
happy to be there. We sort of set
the vibes.”
Today the entire ensemble will
participate in a ‘serpentine,’ snaking
their way down through campus
beginning at the presidents’ house
and ending at the Kibbie Dome
parking lot.
“So look out for us — we
shouldn’t be too hard to miss,” Kiser
said.
On Saturday the students will
be up at 7 a.m. to participate in the
Homecoming Parade downtown,
marching from Rosauer’s along Main
Street and afterward stopping for a
quick lunch at the Lionel Hampton
School of Music, and then head to
pre-game tailgating.
“It’s our biggest weekend, there
are times where you’re on your
feet for 12 hours… but it’s worth
it,” he said.
Kiser said the songs the band will
perform will be a mix of the old and
new. He said band director Torrey
Lawrence is “still a young guy” and
said he keeps up on what’s popular
but also keeps traditions alive with
the old favorites of marching bands.
“Every year we do a new ‘hip’
song – it’s Lady Gaga this year,” Kiser
said. “We do ‘Poker Face’ and ‘Bad
Romance.’ It’s a lot of fun to play
and see people react to something
they know.”
Kiser said he could explain why
tuba players in UI’s marching band
wear skirts.
“Its because a while ago there
weren’t enough pants for everyone
and no time to order them, so the

Moscow’s funky foods
steve carter
rawr
In Moscow there are a number
of restaurants to choose from. A
person can go out to experience
foods they have known their whole
lives, or try something new and
interesting. Main Street and adja-
cent streets have at least 10 types
of restaurants, some that could be
considered American food, but sev-
eral restaurants feature food that is
not as common.
Ion Café
The corner of Sixth and Jackson
has been occupant to several small
food enterprises over the years.
Now it is home to the Ion Café,
an outdoor café that consists of a
shade hut serviced by a kitchen-
equipped 1969 International bus.
Since the beginning of the semes-
ter, their sign on Sixth Street has
advertised burgers, fries and bacon
milkshakes. Yes, bacon milkshakes.
Owners Cleve Yocom and
Eleanor Kirk came up with this
creation sometime last July.
“I just like trying new combina-
tions and this was just something I
came up with one day,” Kirk said. “I
like it, but I like weird food.”
University of Idaho freshman
Gregory Kim tried the bacon milk-
shake last week.
“It’s really good. I like the taste
of ice cream and the taste of bacon,
and together they mix really well.
At first you taste the vanilla ice
cream, with some bits mixed in.
And then you get a bacon after-
taste,” Kim said.
The dry bacon is first chopped
in a food processor. Vanilla ice
cream is added and blended
for a few minutes. After being
pureed, the shake is topped with
whipped cream and a signature
bacon garnish.
Other interesting menu items
include fried pickles and apple pie
milkshakes and the café will soon
offer pumpkin cheesecake milk-
shakes. New food ideas are tested
out on the public so if anyone
wants to sample before purchasing
a bacon milkshake, just ask.
The owners of the Ion Café ex-
pect to be here year-round but Kirk
said this depends on how much
the weather affects business in the
winter. If there is an effect, they
may head for warmer climates.
The Ion Café is now serving late
night crowds. A full menu will be
available 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. and cou-
pons are available throughout the
Moscow area.

Studying abroad myths Become a fan of rawr on facebook

steve hanna
special to rawr
During freshman year, students begin to hear
about study abroad programs.
A student came to my freshman class three
years ago and told the class they should study
abroad. It was the usual sales pitch followed by
the forgettable phrase, “You can do it,” layered
on top of a photo of a sunset on a white, sandy
beach and a $20,000 price tag. At least the beach
looked good.
After I studied abroad in Spain and was able
to finance my entire program, I realized I might
have been misinformed about studying abroad.
Here are five myths I wish someone dispelled
before I left the States.
#1 It’s too expensive
A friend told me she would love to study
abroad but can’t afford to. She has several loans
and works to support herself through school.
She said she has heard a lot about studying
abroad, but there was one thing she didn’t
know. Studying abroad can actually be cheaper
than attending University of Idaho.
I told her she could save $1,000 by studying
abroad.
According to the University of Idaho detailed
cost of attendance estimates, it costs $9,350 for
an Idaho resident to attend UI per semester. If
for behind the scenes content
my friend went to India with the USAC pro-
gram on a semester exchange, it would cost
her $8,500. If she doesn’t prefer India, she could
go to Costa Rica with USAC for about the same
cost as attending UI. The costs depend on the
program. My friend could do a direct exchange
for cheaper, if she is willing to live abroad on
her own and without other American students.
Study abroad price estimates include every-
thing you would pay for — room and board,
travel and miscellaneous expenses — including

FALL Feelings and traditions

can stem from the weather,
and autumn in Moscow is no

different. People decorate in
and around their homes and
get into the holiday spirit. The

SEASON
smell of pumpkin pie fills the
air. The changes taking place
outside include the leaves
changing from green to bril-
liant reds, yellows and oranges.
photos and story by steven devine One lover of autumn said
rawr it was, “brrr chirry cold brrrrr
chirry.”
This sensation of seasonal
colors, smells and textures
is not something everyone
is able to witness. Those in
Moscow are lucky enough to
witness the changes all four
seasons bring.

Kristen Fullmer, Univer-
sity of Idaho student, said her
favorite aspect of fall is the
experience of being outside.
She said the air is crisp and not
too cold yet, and the changing
colors are amazing.
“I love when leaves fall off the
trees while you’re walking under-
neath them, and the sound of
them crunching under your feet
is the best,” Fullmer said.
Pumpkins adorn doorsteps,
with silly and scary faces carved
into them. Sometimes they are
elaborate and include lights or
action characters. Piles of leaves
cover the ground and serve as
a new playground for children
during autumn. The leaves
cover the lawns of many homes
and parks.
“Everyone must take the
time to watch the leaves turn
during this bittersweet season,”
said Keala Edwards, UI student.
The autumn season brings
the last remnants of warm
weather before snow covers
the ground — it also brings
food, treats and tricks.
“It’s my favorite season be-
cause it’s so festive and it’s the
last of the good weather before
winter comes and freezes ev-
erything over,” Fullmer said.
Some people enjoy the
relaxing atmosphere the fall
season brings and enjoy taking
time off from the daily hustle
many people deal with.
Edwards said fall has two of
the best holidays — Halloween
and Thanksgiving.
Fullmer said everyone loves
dressing up and eating a bunch
of candy. Everyone loves to stuff
their faces with delicious food
a month after Halloween at
Thanksgiving dinner, she said.
“I love everything pumpkin-
related. Carving pumpkins,
eating pumpkin pie, babies
dressed like pumpkins...and my
all time favorite is a pumpkin
latte on a brisk autumn day,”
Fullmer said.

Edwards said Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather with family.

“My favorite food to eat is the cranberries. I love the fact that we get a week off
to enjoy this time away from school as well,” Edwards said.
John Huston, UI student, said he likes the changes that come with each season.
“It’s something new and different seeing the color changes and the leaves fall,”
Huston said. “I love that the holidays are approaching because I get to spend time
with my family.”

Coheed & Cambria:

Back on top
anthony saia
rawr
Spokane has seen its fair
share of concerts this fall.
From rockers The Melvins
to Smashing Pumpkins to
Deftones and back.
On Oct. 17, New Yorkers
Coheed & Cambria graced the
stage of the Knitting Factory in
epic fashion. A fan in the front
of the line could be heard.
He said this was his fourth
Coheed & Cambria show this
year alone. While some people
are not fans of Coheed’s style,
one fan certainly was.
Kaitlin James said, “I drove
all the way from Tri-Cities to
see this show.”
James had the “Keywork,”
one of the many symbols used
to represent the band, tattooed
in the middle of her back.
Michael Todd, bassist, pulled
up his sleeve during an inter-
view to showcase his dragonfly
tattoo – another symbol for
the band. Lead singer Claudio
Sanchez also has the insect tat-
tooed on his left arm.
The lines outside the venue
were long, but the show was
not sold out. An employee told
concertgoers they still had 300
tickets available regardless of
the 500+ people in attendance.
Oct. 17 was the first time
Coheed & Cambria had played
a show in Spokane.
As concertgoers filed into
the venue, they were met with
an elaborate stage set up of

Their set began in a

Kirk Huffman screamed his
vocals, reminiscent of Zach de

Machine combined with the
flair of Johnny Whitney. His
stage presence was enormous,
but the spectacle was the slew
of drummers behind their kits.

Every member of the band
wailed on their instruments
with force. The band put out
so much that it was shocking
the crowd was not putting
forth as much energy.
Up next was the band that
most fans came to see — Co-
heed & Cambria. Coheed has
been around for about 15 years
now, but had started fading
from the music scene until the
release of their newest album,
Year of the Black Rainbow.
There were mixtures of fans
in the crowd — old and new.
As the band took the stage,
the concert hall erupted with
chants of “Coheed, Coheed, Co-
heed.” The adrenaline pumped
through the room and encom-
passed the crowd.
Vocalist Claudio Sanchez
did not hold back as the set
began. From his higher-than-
normal vocals to impressive
guitar playing, Sanchez cap-
tivated the crowd. Guitarist
Travis Stever put forth just
as much energy as he shred-

UI A from page 3 ing sick for a few days is worth

There have been countless
times I have dined in unsavory,
hole-in-the-wall restaurants
and in the homes of families
that did not have running wa-
ter or other sanitary luxuries.
Each time I do, there is a
risk of getting sick, but it is
part of the culture, and by not
the chance to see a first-hand
view of a different culture.
Being sick while abroad
is something everyone goes
through, so there is no need to
be upset or sad about it. Most
illnesses only last a couple of days
and are not debilitating in nature.
One should not overexert
him or herself during the sick-
of the illness. A sore throat or
upset stomach is unpleasant,
but missing out on something
amazing is worse.
It is important to realize
that being abroad is a once in a
lifetime experience that should
not be hampered by illness. En-
joy sickness while traveling for
what it is — a rite of passage
for studying abroad.

ABROAD after graduation and discov-

from page 7
a senior and can’t fit foreign
pursuits into your schedule,
you could still do a national
exchange at the University of
Alabama or the University of
Hawaii and get culture shock.
#3 I don’t have time
A friend told me that she
is too busy to get away from
it all.
She said my answer sur-
prised her when I told her
she didn’t have time not to
study abroad.
What other time in life
will provide the freedom and
opportunity to live in a for-
eign country? Jobs, responsi-
bilities and life commitments
loom after graduation. One of
my friends just got married.
Another just accepted a job
ered the limits of only having
two weeks vacation every
year. He’s got a dog and a
house to deal with.
Living and studying abroad
is a now or never decision.
It’s a rare opportunity to
travel and visit Barcelona
one weekend, Germany the
next, and Morocco when you
have a couple free days. That
is how I spent the month
of February when I studied
abroad in Spain. If you plan
ahead and make time for
it, you can have the same
experience.
#4 I don’t speak a
foreign language
You don’t have to speak
a country’s native tongue to
visit it. There are more than
20 programs in 15 countries
across Asia, Africa and Europe
where international students
are taught in English.
You don’t have to study
abroad to learn a foreign
language. If you want to learn
the language, you don’t have
to be fluent upon arrival.
There are language courses
where you study with a
group of students at the same
level of experience as you. So
whether you go without lan-
guage skills and return fluent
or can already hold a conver-
sation, you will grow your
abilities with like-minded
people. And you’ll earn up to
two years of foreign language
credits in one semester.
#5 I’ve never
traveled before
When a student told me
she had never traveled alone
before, I told her I hadn’t
either when I went to Spain.
That’s part of the fun of
going abroad — you never
know what you’re getting
into. Most of my peers in
Spain had never been outside
the States before, and we all
learned how to travel. You’ll
learn to navigate foreign
metros, read train announce-
ments in foreign languages
and when to seek help from
locals when lost.
What makes you nervous
can also feel like a growing
sense of freedom. This is your
experience abroad and your
life, so make the most of it.

Kiser said the band, contrary to the
view of some, like to keep a cool head
for performances and don’t drink a lot.
“(It’s) because we have to be
thinking clearly. Generally people
abide by this: ‘When one person
looks bad, then the whole band
looks bad.’ It’s a team thing, we
are like a family,” Kiser said.
Kiser said a message he has
for fanatical fans at tailgating is
to enjoy the band’s show from
the outside. He said some people
run right through the middle of
the band while they are playing,
which makes it difficult to play.
“And keep up the energy.
Dance with us — it’s never fun to
play to a dead crowd,” Kiser said.

those trying sushi for the first
time, there is the well-known
California roll, which includes
cucumber, crab and avocado.
For the more adventurous,
there is the rainbow roll con-

salmon, crab and albacore.
The kamikaze roll is the chef’s

onion, cream cheese, crab,
tuna and tempura shrimp. The
roll is fried and covered in a

Seattle and Portland.
The Thai house is intro-

includes smaller portions of
their main entrees for $6.99.
The menu is specifically
aimed at college students
who do not want to pay full
price for the generously por-
tioned main courses.
“Many people have never
had traditional Thai food be-
fore, but college kids like to
try new things,” Stubbe said.
“Thai food uses a lot of beef,
chicken and pork with spices
like curry.”
