Celebration continued from page 10 A new homecoming event had its debut; Vandal Vegas Night. Or- ganizer of the event, Paul Freund said dur- ing its planning, “We'll take over the second floor of the SUB.” Deco- rations were put up all day Friday and by 8:00 p.m.,, the ball room, Ap- paloosa Room, and the rest of the second floor resembled a casino- idaho style with 30-40 tables of gambling ac- tivities, approximately 100 dealers, “Vandal Bucks,” and hours of music provided by Z- Fun radio station. Prizes were donated from local businesses. Proceeds of the casino night went to the stu- dent leadership group. For the second year in a row, an all campus exchange allowed dorm dwellers and Greeks to host one an other for dinner. Fol- lowing the exchange, the bonfire and pep ral- ly got Vandal support- ers raring for the up- coming game. Living group skits provided entertainment. Pi Beta Phi, Alpha Gamma Del- ta, and Kappa Kappa Gamma walked away with top honors for originality, creativity, and adherance to the Octoberfest theme. Be- cause of the repetive- ness of skits, the home- coming committee sug: gested that skits be turned in a week prior to the bonfire to avoid the embarassment. While the judges tal- lied skit points, presi- dent Richard Gibb an- nounced the royalty: second runnerup was Hays Hall's Kathy Ken- yon: first runner-up was Delta Gamma Tami Thompson: and Kelli Kast of Houston Hall was named queen. Coach Keith Gilbertson got the bonfire crowd to scream their lungs out by leading them in the Vandal fight song. He said, “The prospect of having a great crowd is a motivating factor. tow enthusiastic they are is going to be more Vital than having a lot of people in the seats.” The battle between the Vandals and the Wolf- pack was a major factor in deciding the Big Sky Conference champion- ship. The teams were both 2-1 and the past two years brought Ida- ho and Nevada-Reno squaring off with the winner taking the requ- lar season title in the conference. Gilbertson noted, “It's a big qame for both sthools. It's a good rivalry, and has become one of the key rivalry games in the conference.” Idaho came out on top with a 38-28 win, which kept spirits high for the Sat- urday night dance at Galloway's.

Culturally Yours Prichard Art Gallery brings artistic touch to Moscow The Soviets had a term for some peo- ple — “nyeh kul- toorni.” Translat- ed, it meant “uncul- tured” and hap- pened to be one of the worst insults given in Russian. It didn’t apply to the Prichard Art Gal- lery, however. According to Jo- hanna Hays, direc- tor of the Riden- baugh and Prichard Art Galleries, “It was unusual for a univer- sity such as the UI to put its resources in the downtown area of a city. It seems to be paying off, though.” In the three years since the Prichard Gallery has EACH month, the Pri- chard set up new shows to culturally entice art lovers from Moscow. Pullman, and Spokane. Al Rouyer, political sci- ence professor, gives art lessons to two Graduate art stu- dents, Kay Montgom- ery and Carolyn Fort- ney, concerning a statue from “Elders of the Tribe.” (Duffy) been at 414 416 South Main Street, it has been well sup- ported. Proceeds from Mardi Gras Week- end went to support the gallery. along with a grant from the Idaho Commis- sion on the Arts and from individuals. Hays said that she tried to come up with something for everyone in the shows, approxi- mately two-thirds of which she puts to- gether and one- third of which came from other institu- tions. The UI gallery class also assisted Hays. One didn’t have to be an artist to appreciate the Prichard’s shows. Jake Cutshall said that he didn’t un- derstand Sherry Hart’s ‘Tribute to Helen”, a beadwork exhibit. He said, “It sparked my atten- tion, to say the least.” The gallery sponsored nation- al, regional and in- ternational. The Prichard has shown regional, na tional, and interna- tion folk and ab- Stract art from places in Brazil and Africa. If it hasn't shown something unknown to Mos- cow, it will. THE Prichard Art Gallery received 2,000-5,000 visitors for each exhibit. One of the major two shows, “Elders of the Tribe,” opened in Febru- ary. (Duffy) 14 Prichard art Gallery
