TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2014 THE STUDENT VOICE OF WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1895 VOL. 121, NO. 52 Alleged assault on female at Building for the environment WSU’s Brelsford Visitor Center, built with materials that embody Pullman’s WSU fraternity history, has been awarded the annual Design & Build Forest Stewardship Council Award The mother of a 20-year-old Pullman resident called police Sunday, reporting that her daughter was assaulted at a fra- ternity during the weekend. Cmdr. Chris Tennant said the victim was dancing at an unknown fraternity with a male, who allegedly grabbed her by the throat and started choking her. Police were able to talk to the alleged victim, who did have marks on her throat. Police don’t have extensive informa- tion regarding the case at this time, but investigators will check back in a few days to see if the victim wishes to pursue a criminal investigation. Tennant said the assault was not sexual in nature. He assumed the victim was a WSU student, but could not confirm based on the report. reporting by andrew braddock A day to celebrate those lost WYAT TAYLOR | THE DAILY EVERGREEN The Brelsford WSU Visitor Center along Main Street as seen on Nov. 3, 2014.

DAILYEVERGREEN.COM OpinionTUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 2014 | PAGE 3 The right choice for all Why one Evergreen columnist believes Joe Pakootas is taking steps for change
By Tyler DeLong Evergreen columnist Read last week’s column about why Evergreen Columnist Bryan Allen voted for Cathy McMorris Rodgers, at TheDaily Evergreen.com/opinion
oday voters in Washington’s 5th district have the opportu- T nity to break the mundane and make a substantial contribution for the state of Washington by voting for Joe Pakootas for United States Congressman. Pakootas and his family, including six siblings, grew up in Inchelium, Washington. Joe’s past tells the story of a man who has sacrificed repeatedly to support the people he cares about; people like his 5th district constituents. As an elected official on the Colville Tribal Council for over 16 years, Pakootas has worked with local, state and federal government to promote positive legislation and If you’re looking for a community man with deep-seeded ties to his citizens, look no further. progressive policies. One of his prospective policies is a much-needed edu- cational reform with an emphasis in national student loan improvement. Pakootas agrees that education is critical at every level. In addition, he agrees that “(o)ur children shouldn’t graduate from college $23,000 in debt.” Moreover, given his life-long work experience – in forestry as a teenager, then a union job as a laborer so he could support his family – it is clear that Joe Pakootas knows not only the struggles of edification, but also the gumption and strength it takes to accomplished tasks carefully and completely. After Pakootas earned a Master in Business Administration from the University of Washington, he returned as CEO of the tribe’s business enterprise, turn- ing losses into profits in just four short years. Pakootas favors reform that provides aid to the people and helps those in dire need. Pakootas votes in favor of affordable medical care for everyone, including the building of healthcare systems in conjunction with the Affordable Care Act. If you’re looking for a community man with deep- TIM WHITE | EVERGREEN DAILY FILE seeded ties to his citizens, look no further.
