      <title><![CDATA[ISU Women Shock Oregon State 79-73]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[ISU beat Oregon State on the road tonight, completing a sweep of Pac-10 opponents this year on the heels of their win over UCLA last week.  Any questions that their win over UCLA was sheer luck were swept away as the Bengals stayed with Oregon State the whole game and then pulled away in the closing minutes on the strength of their free throw shooting and some timely 3 point shots.  Down by 4 with 3 minutes to go, ISU outscored Oregon State 15-4 to close the game. 

Natalie Doma scored 24 points, with 12 rebounds, including three 3 pointers.  Andrea Lightfoot scored 15 points, with 12 coming in the second half.  Jenna Brown had 11 points with three 3 pointers and 5 assists.  Devin Diehl scored 10 points, highlighted by 6 of 6 at the free throw line and a stellar defensive game.  Kaylynn Fager hit two 3 pointers for 6 points, including a critical one in the final minutes to put the Bengals ahead.  Michelle Grohs also had 6 points.  The Bengals were 11 of 20 from the 3 point stripe, while going 18 of 21 from the free throw line.  

The Bengals are now 6-3 on the season, with 3 more non-conference games to go, all at home.  They play Lewis and Clark State on Friday night at 7 pm in ISU's Reed Gym.]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[ISU must build on reputation as research school]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[By Martin Hackworth


	&quot;Research and scholarly activity are the principal things that distinguish academics from ideologues.&quot;  

Dr. David Adler, Idaho State University Department of Political Science. 

	The only thing constant in life is change. This well-known statement is attributed to 17th century French writer François de la Rochefoucauld, but the idea of change as a constant and inevitable force in human endeavor goes back to antiquity. History has shown that while fighting the agents of change may temporarily prolong the status quo, the alternatives in the end are to adapt or fall by the wayside. The only sure way to stem the tides of change is through death – a decidedly poor alternative to moving on. ]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Taking the reins]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[    The issue has created a widening chasm between departments in the College of Arts and Sciences. In particular, it spurred a flap earlier this year that began with internal ISU e-mails critical of Vailas which blamed the new president for the resignation of Arts and Sciences Dean John Kijinski.

    Jim DiSanza, Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies chairman, said he came to ISU 18 years ago from the University of Richmond, in Virginia, because it is a place where undergraduate students can get a rounded education taught by professors. He believes that the goal of becoming a globally recognized research school does not fit with ISU’s mission and that the school is not properly funded to reach such lofty goals.

      <title><![CDATA[Donating to ISU scholarship fund is important]]></title>
      <description><![CDATA[By Michael Strickland

Last year, I owed a babysitter $15. Lindsay was a bright, very responsible 
Idaho State University undergrad. A first-generation college-student, Lindsay 
spoke of how much she appreciated the opportunity to study and to create a 
better life for her future family.

While watching Lindsay play and joke, read stories, and change our daughter's 
diapers, I experienced the love, nurturing, and wonderful work ethic 
reflected in this young woman. My wife and I became excited as she taught 
them a few words in Spanish. Reaching into my wallet after Lindsay had 
finished the laborious chore of watching our two rambunctious rug rats, I 
noticed that I only had a $20 bill.

I handed it to Lindsay and said &quot;just keep the other five.&quot;]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[WalMart Donates $3,000 Back to Idaho State Football and PAWS

Donation courtesy the WalMart foundation for highway cleanup

	
WalMart store manager Gary Black presented a check for $3,000 to Idaho State University football coach John Zamberlin  Also present were P.A.W.S. coordinator Susan Beseris, and football players Jaron Taylor and Jason Wright, who helped in the roadside clean up. 

*****

Pocatello, ID - Back on May 5, members of the Idaho State football team worked in conjunction with Wal Mart associates to clean up the highway area from the Pocatello Creek exit to the Chubbuck Road overpass as part of ISU's P.A.W.S. (Proud Athletes Working and Serving) program. Today, WalMart donated $3,000 to P.A.W.S. and Bengal Football for their help in the highway cleanup.

The donation was courtesy of the WalMart Foundation, which pays grant money to WalMart stores that participate in environmental issues, and the roadside cleanup was covered in that area. WalMart store manager Gary Black, a longtime Bengal booster, in turn donated the Foundation money straight back to Idaho State.

P.A.W.S. and members of the football team will also participate in Pocatello PaintFest in July. This past year, ISU's P.A.W.S. program has logged over 1,900 community service hours in Pocatello, Chubbuck, Fort Hall, and the surrounding Southeast Idaho area.

      <description><![CDATA[Article written by Idaho State University Sports Information:


Women's Basketball Signs Lumberton's Pickering

5-9 guard to join Bengals for the 2007-08 season

	

Pickering signs NLI to play basketball at Idaho State.

June 12, 2007

Pocatello, ID--Idaho State head coach Jon Newlee has announced that Chelsea Pickering, a 5-9 guard from Lumberton, Texas has signed to play basketball for the 2007-08 season, bringing this year's recruiting class to five, as she joins Ally Sisel (6-3), Cara Lambert (6-2), Andrea Videbeck (5-4), and Verity Peets (6-2).

Pickering joins Idaho State after a successful career at Lumberton High School. She recently averaged 16.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 4.2 steals per game during her senior season at LHS, helping the team to the Class 4A Texas regional quarterfinals.

&quot;After visits to both Utah and Providence, we feel very fortunate that Chelsea has made the decision to be a Bengal,&quot; Newlee said. &quot;Chelsea is a tough, physical, hard-nosed basketball player. She's an excellent shooter, has great range, and can take the ball hard to the rim. She also has good size and strength on the perimeter, along with good speed. She should be able to defend positions one through three and the block.&quot;

The 5-9 guard received numerous accomplishments during her four years at LHS, receiving multiple First Team All-State, First Team All-Region, and District 20-4A offensive MVP honors. Pickering was also selected to the All-Tournament team all four seasons at Lumberton.

Pickering also excelled academically at LHS, graduating in the top-10 percent of her class. She also received Academic All-State honors and received the President's Education award for outstanding academic excellence.
