College life wasn't always one big party. In addition to the daily hassles of maintaining grades, finding parking spaces and earning money to pay bills, frustrations continued. The Weber State Wildcats spoiled the Vandal’s victory bash during a rain-soaked Homecoming weekend. Only months after hiring three new deans, the UI found itself shopping for new forestry and education directors. The Argonaut made the news rather than reported it when four editors were suspended during an audit of the newspaper's budget. Four weeks later, the editors were reinstated and the dust settled. And students complained when they discovered Christmas break was trimmed to two weeks instead of the traditional three. But despite the valley lows, life went on.

For the 8,000 students who called the University of Idaho ‘‘home,’” the year will be remembered as a range of mountain highs, valley lows and everything in between. On the positive side, the Lady Van- dal volleyball team made the con- ference playoffs for the first-time and finished second. And the football team shutout the Boise State Broncos, defeated PAC-10 Oregon State and barely earned its third consecutive winning Season. Construction on the $10 million addi- tion to the Life Science Building pro- gressed at a rapid rate as students dodged bulldozers and dumptrucks on their way to class. And after completing two searches, the UI hired Tom Bell, College of Education dean, aS academic vice president. But mountain highs didn’t always prevail.
