and our timing could not have been more perfect. The campus is vibrant with the
colorful change of seasons. We look forward to welcoming alumni and friends
back to campus for an impressive array of activities - consult the Web site at <a

Traditions like Homecoming sustain our University and provide a reminder to all
generations of alumni that they are a part of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Idaho</st1:PlaceName></st1:place>

on campus as the Margaret Ritchie Distinguished Speaker. Her keynote address to
the campus community on Friday, October 19, at 10:30 a.m. in the Administration
Auditorium explores "Universities Fighting World Hunger: Accelerating the
Movement." Henton believes the best way to battle hunger is to
enlist college students, and <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Idaho</st1:place></st1:State>
students have responded. Last year, our chapter of the War on Hunger
collected 4,000 pounds of food for local food banks during the Homecoming food
drive and some 6,000 pounds during Beat Boise State Week. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

professors and an alumnus, the heart of downtown Buhl now pays honor to the
city's main industry with a giant sculpture of a trout. On September 15, Buhl,
"the trout capital of the world, dedicated a 40-foot by 60-foot sculpture
during "Trout Festival." In 2003, a project idea was presented to the
University's Art and Design Department. Residents of Buhl wanted the department
to design a sculpture for what they call the "big ugly wall."
Professor Phillip Mead, a native of nearby <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Twin Falls</st1:place></st1:City>, embraced the idea and created a
class entitled "The Buhl Wall Project." A selection committee
reviewed 16 different proposals, and a design submitted by graduate student
Cindy Darnell was chosen. "I hope the University uses the success of this
project to reach out to other communities in <st1:State w:st="on">Idaho</st1:State>,"
said Jim Lunte, project manager and <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Idaho</st1:place></st1:State>
alumnus. "Public art is an enduring legacy in our communities and Buhl is
blessed to be able to have this monumental piece. This project will be a hard
act to follow."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
