He behaved differently this time around. The result? The usual.

During Saturday's UNLV• Utah State game, Rebel coach Jerry Tarkanian brought two neatly folded white LOwelsto his seat. .He brought two

towels to last season's 89-77 overtime UNLV win, too, but last year one of the towels didn't make it to the laundry bag - "Tark" destroyed it with his teeth. Th is year's game in the Spectrum, won by UNLY 93-88, was just as tense for Tarkanian, who is the nation's winningest active coach with a 366-87 career record - an .808 winning percentage. "We're not hitting the offensive boards. We're not getting the rebounds," Tarkan ian told his team during a first-half timeout. "\'v'hat the hell did we come here for?" None of his players answered. They knew what they had come to Logan for. And like players before them who had won eight of every ten games they played under Tarkanian, this year's Rebels knew their assignments. The master of college coaches did not need to say a word. Tarkanian's words are often subdued - his actions are more visible. His nervousness during a game is released through a well-rehearsed series of actions. He often chews on a towel which, when not in use, is meticulously folded and placed beneath his chair on top of another identically folded towel. Both are exactly centered under the seat. When not gnawing on a towel, he'll either chew on a fingernail or bury his eyes in his fists. His feet are used for emphasis, as well. "Damn it! Get a good one (continued

Planned Parenthood regains federal fundin By LISA RICHARDS staff writer Afr er a year of going it on their own, the Planned Parenthood Association of Utah (PPAU) regained federal funding this December.

Now, the Planned Pa,·cnthood office of Logan can "open the door even wider to those who need the services," according to Sandy Strandquist of the Logan branch. As a result of a decision by U.S. District Judge David Winder, PPAU will receive S 170,000 over the next six months enabling the organization to provid e affordable medical care and birth control serv ices to people regardless of age.

PPAU lost $400,000 in government funding in 1982 when the state decided to consolidate all federal health service funding into one channel - the Slate Department of H ealt h and Human funding. ''The last year has been a struggle both financially and emotionally for the agency and staff," Strandquist said. "We had to become more efficient because of the reduced staff and we had to make our hours more flexible , be more in tune with patients' need s," she said. "What we learned last year without federal funding will apply to this next year."

Sandy Strandquist o( Logan's Planned Parenthood stands by poster announcing a new education program. reinstituted funds so tha1 they cou ld continue to be affordable at either full cost or at a cost determined on a sliding scale depending on income.

She added that whether Planned Parenthood continues to receive funds or not it will ''retain its integrity.''

"We were fortunate not to lose many patients with the funding loss in 1982, " Strandquist said. "Now we hope to open the door even wider to those who need the services."

Medical services and prescription contraccptiw supplies were subs idized with the

She said that a medical exam could cost up to $30 d epend ing on the individual

situation. Basic gynecological care and infection screening by nurse practicioners, nurses having completed a bachelor of nursing degree, intensive training in a specialized area and a physician supervised internship, could cost anywhere from $6 to $16. In addit ion to subsidizing medical services, Planned Parenthood will expand its education services by increasing i1s contact with community and university groups,

speaking on topics such as women 1 s health care, teen pregnancy and family planning. AJso planned for promotion is a workshop on "The Facts of Life for Parents" and one on "The Facts of Life for Pros." The latter will be aimed at informing Logan social service agencies on how to facilitate communication on this topic with their clients. Other services provided by

Planned Parenthood include cervical and breast cancer screening, pregnancy 1esting, prescription and nonprescription contraceptives, basic gynecological care, male sterilization and information about nutrition. " I see Planned Parenhood as a comm itted advocate in the area of health and reproductive rights," Strandquist said. "We aim to provide high quality health educa· tion with clinical care."

USSR says 'no' MOSCOW (AP) - The Sovie, Union signaled Sunday that it was likely to spurn any olive branch offered by President Reagan or by Western nations resuming dialogue with the East in Stockholm this week. The official newspaper Sotsialistichtskaya Indu striya said superpower relations had hit the "lowest point" possible and gave little hope they would improve soon. lt said Reagan's speech on U .S.-Soviet relations, to be given Monday, would be just a ca mp aign ploy to con vince American voters that he is not ''fanning up tensions.'' As for the Stockholm conference and a planned meeting there Wednesday between Secretary of State George P. Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei A. Gromyko,

it said these "in no way can replace'' the Geneva talks on strategic arms and nuclear missiles in Europe. The Stockholm talks are set to open Tuesday and will focus first on confidencebuilding measures to increase European security. The Soviets broke off the Euromissile talks in Geneva Nov. 23 after West Germany reaffirmed its commitment to deploy Pershing 2 and cruise missiles as part of NATO's response lo the Soviet buildup of SS-20s.

Student aid drops WASHINGTON (AP) The amount of financial aid available for college students, after two decades of rapid growth, has dropped by S2 billion in the past two years, the College Board said Sunday. The decline from a peak of

$18 billion in 1981-82 is even greater if inflation is taken into account, according to "Trends in Student Aid: I 963 to 1983," a study prepared by the board's Washington office. Allowing for inflation, the rea1 value of student aid has dropped 21 percent in the I 980s, the board said in the study funded by the Ford Foundation.

Candidates meet HANOVER, N.H. (AP) John Glenn, transforming the first Democratic presidential debate of 1984 from discussion to confrontation, said Sunday he was "disgusted and tired of a11the vague promises" and '' gobbledygook of nothing'' from Walter Mondale. The besieged frontrunner exploded saying "Baloney." The debate matched eight Democratic presidential candidates in a three-hour,

nationally-televised marathon at Dartmouth College. Mondale paid a price for his lead in the public opinion polls. Practica1ly all the con· tenders cook him on until in the waning moments George McGovern said, "I object to this tendency in every campaign to clobber the frontrunner.'' Gary Han, sitting next to Mondale on stage, turned to the former vice president and said, "You cannot lead this country if you have promised everybody everything.'' Mondale said he hadn't done any such thing, and added, '' America is nothing if it isn't promises. That is what America is about." "That's the same vague gobbledygook of nothing we've been hearing throughout the campaign," Glenn said. "We haven 't heard any specific numbers except "cut it by half."

The new Natural Resources Building is already being used due to the Old Main fire but will not be complete for two months.

Natural Resources Building completed soon ByJOHN J. WISE staff writer The new Natural Resources Building is nearing completion after almost 10 years of planning and two years of construction. The facility will provide inceded laboratory and !Jo.thing space which is not 'available in the old NRB. Although the building is six to eight weeks from comple;Jion, the new department and 1aculty offices are already oc~pied. The Dec . 19 fire at

Old Main necessitated a relocation from the old N RB to the new to accommocl;11t' departments displan·d. ,u 1111·· ding to John Neu hold. ,1v,1:-.tant to the dean of na111ral resources. Decisions of when or if the space sacrificed in the old NRB will be regained arc sti ll not clear. The cost of the new facility is likely to approach SS million, said William H elm , professor of fisheries, and coordinator for construction of

the building. The major contractor is R aymond Construction of Logan. Jo seph Chapman, head of the department of fisheries and wildlife, said the new building is vastly improved over the older facility and was a key in persuading him to come to USU. '' A technical rt'ports room within the departmt=nt and new laboratqrics will greatly impr ove the collc).{c's research and teaching capabilities,'' he said.

Chapman said the old facilities were inadequate and he feels the new facility is "a good investment for the people of Utah, who will receive the major benefit." "Prob lems wi1h the new building are minor," said Thad Box, dean of the College of Natural Resources. He said the most common complaint was professors not having enough bookshelf space in the offices. "The trauma of moving overshadows the excitement

(of the new building),'' said.

Box

According to Neuhold, the staff is occupying the building "by the good grace of the contractor who has not yet turned it over to the university, but we expect to be completely moved in by the end of the quarter.'' Box was less optimistic and added he feels it may be next faJI, after much of the staff returns from summer absence, before they can call the new NRB home.

Cazier schedules date for weekly student forums ss the topic of budgetary pr ores in the first of a series of open ms entitled, '' Dialogue with the ident," Wednesday afternoon. The president's forum, designed "to · the gap between students, faculand the administrat ion," will be each Wednesday between 2 and 4 .m. in the Family Life Lounge of the amily Life Building.

· is a differem year for the

university in a number of ways," Lye said , referring to the Old Main fire and current budgetary restraints. "He (Cazier) is anxious to meet with faculty, students and others and answer questions from anyone who comes." Cazier will introduce each session with a short presentation based on subjects sent to him by the audience. "We are inviting people to write in," Cazier said. " I'd like to build the agenda around student concerns." "The first theme, budgetary procedures, is a t imely one," Lye said. "A lot of people don't reaJize everything it involves." He said people are unaware and don't always understand the budget. "T hey don't know it's a ninc-momh

procedure. The president will let people know the status of things concerning the legislature," Lye sa id . After budgetary questions are answered, the remaining time at the forum will be open to students, faculty and staff to ask questions concerning other subjects. According to Lye, Cazier has made a variety of efforts to maintain communications with the institution since he came here in 1979. The first year he spent two to four hours in all 45 departments of the university. The next year he concentrated in non-academic areas, such as student services and the physical plant program, Lye said. In the past Cazier ha~ met with students eve1·y two weeks and has in-

vited the community as far north as Preston, Idaho to express their concern on various mauers, he said. "We hope that many people will come and meet the president on an informal basis," Lye said. "Students of this generation arc probably less aware that he was a faculty member on this campus in the 1960s and '?Os. He v.-as voted outstanding teacher of the year in 1966 and was one of the most dynamic and popular teachers we've ever had.'' "I miss teaching very much," Cazier said, adding that he regrets his busy schedule i111erferes with ,s1udf'nt interaction. "l lo,)k forward to dialogue with s1Udcn1s any1ime, anywhere." he said.

Government waste lands in 'Statesman' mailbox Most people don't appreciate "junk mail." It wastes their time, and clutters up their mailbox and kitchen table. Nobody likes government inefficiency, either. So, leave it to the government to combine the two problems. The office of U.S. Sen. Jake Garn of Utah has managed to clutter up the mailbox and misspend taxpayers money at the same time by sending out news releases in triplicate to The Statesman, and likely to other offices and homes throughout the state. It's a low-level but valid example of government waste at its best - two or three times a week The Statesman receives three copies of the same newsletter, printed on legal size paper, from Garn. They arrive in three separate envelopes. One is addressed to "USU Student Life" (The Statesman's former name). The second is addressed "The Utah Statesman" and the third, "The USU Statesman." The senator's efforts in making sure this campus newspaper receives his propaganda is flattering, but someone in Garn's office really ought to check the computer and eliminate the triplication. Garn, however, isn't the only one guilty of wasting tax dollars on unnecessary mailing. The Veterans Administration often sends out two releases the same day in separate envelopes at a cost of 17 cents postage per envelope plus whatever it costs to produce the release. Money could be saved if the VA office put the two same-day releases in the same envelope. State offices could also do some belt-tightening . It should be an embarassment to the Utah Board of Regents, which has been crying to the taxpayers for more education money, that just last week the regents sent two identical education report pamphlets, printed on heavy, colored paper, to this newspaper and probably to many other public and private offices. Each pamphlet cost 20 cents to mail. Oh well, if anyone would like a few Sen. Garn newsletters or a Board of Regents report on higher education, The Statesman has a few extra ...

Just what are the etiquette rules? Editor's note: Turnstyles is a weekly column in which a member of USU's faculty or staff is invited to express an opinion of his or her choice. Ann McKeehan is a clinical instruc-

tor in the Communication Disorders Department. Well, it was inevitable-

as certain as death and BYU's abili-

ty to pass the football. A student fell asleep in my class today.

My class. You know the one. That undergraduate, five-credit experience designed to challenge and excite those novice neurons. You know the one I mean. That daily class in which

the instructor and the student have formed a strange and wonderful relationship based on mutual trust, respect and strong academic desire. You know the one. The one I sweated over all summer long, dredging up humanistic experiences to relate alongside the necessary but dry facts of course lecture. The one course I hoped would develop into the all-time educational experience of the decade (No, the century). You got it - that's the one.

I'll admit my ignorance of procedure right up front. This is my first experience with undergraduate students in mass. They do, I'm told, represent a separate class - a separate species of humankind. Just what are the rules of etiquette and good behavior here? The circumstances beg for some action from me (!hey all know he's sleeping; they all know I know he's sleeping).

I did try the first line of defense. That is, I did stand near the offender and raise the volume of the lecture. This seemed only to leave one sore-throated. Should I, could I, gently wake the sleeping prince with a slight bump to his seat? Perhaps I could drop my text on his sleeping foot. Maybe another student, one necessarily more alert, could perform the deed. Could we all leave silently, allowing his awakening to happen naturally and alone? Do I acknowledge to my group of captive scholars that I know they know I know. I realize that ignoring a behavior is most likely to extinguish its occurance (see, I was once an undergrad too). But pretending that the relaxed breathing noises (my euphemism for snoring) coming from his corner of the room aren't coming from his corner of the room just isn't my style. Help please! Academic excellence hangs in the balance! What on earth is a professor to do?

Five Rebels hit double-digits in narrow win By CARL ELLEARD sports writer It was accuracy from the line that kept Utah State in the game during the first half against Nevada-Las Vegas. At the close of the second half the turnaround went to the Rebels, whose accurate penalty shooting led them to a 93-88 win over the Aggies in the Spectrum on Saturday night. "Our intentional plan was to foul their big men," said Ag guard Vince Washington, "but they never got the ball." In¡ stead the Ags sent freshman Fred Banks to the line. Banks had no points in the first half with only one field goal attempt to his name. Those stats stood until the 1:58 mark in the second half when the Rebel guard stepped to the line for the first time, benefiting from a Ron Ence foul. The front end of the one-and-one bounced high off the rim before dropping through. The second caught only net, as did the next six. Banks finished with eight points, all from the line and all in the last two minutes of the contest. According to USU coach Rod Tueller, however, it didn't matter who shot the ball. "We fouled three or four different people and they all slOod up there and put them in," Tueller said. The Rebels were 15-of-19 from the line after. the 45-second shot clock went off at the four-minute mark, with six UNLV players contributing. Only Eric Booker missed a sQot, and the rebound went back to tJie Rebel's Richie Adams who drew another pair of shots. The game opened with a quick four-point lead by UNLV before Greg Grant dropped in a three-footer and guard Vince Washington tied the score with a jumper from way outside at the 18:03 mark. The lead changed hands for the next 10 minutes, with the Rebels chasing Utah State most of the way. It was 6-8 forward Ed Catchings who kept UNLV close with half of t,-ieir 24 points midway through the first half. At that po int it seemed that the Rebels would pick up momentum when Adams converted a lob at the rim into a behind-the-back stuff. The basket counted but momentum went to the Aggies when Rebel guard Danny Tarkanian was called for an intentional pushing foul after the shot. Washington canned both of the shots and Utah State jumped to a six-point lead, 32-26, at the 8:07 mark. For six more minutes, however, the Ags couldn't hit from the field. USU scored six points from the line but UNLV scored 16 points of their own to regain the lead, 42-38. USU pulled to within one when a Washington feed inside to Jeff Anderson led to a three-point play. However, 6-10 center john Flowers emphasized the Rebel lead with a dunk

Kennedy murdered by Mafia? New book sheds light on controversial subject

~

Western

Swing Class TUDENT CENTER MOVIE

MANY HAPPYRETURNS! ~ "A complete

crowd-pleaser. It really files. NEW YORKTIMES

Now Playing thru Tues Jan. 16-17 7:00and 9:30

By CRAIG LAROCCO Entertainment Editor Books about the Kennedy 'assasinations arc being printed continually. Many of these seem to take on the ''I-slept-with-him'' NatiOnal Enquirer-type mentality. Few of the books attempt to establish the hows and why of the. murders, and even fewer offer solid evidence to their case. Contra.clon America: Th Mafia Murders of John and Robert Kennedy is a new book on the subject, but approaches it from an entirely different angle. First, the book is unique because it is released to the public domain, without copyright, allowing the book to be reproduced without restriction. The author, David E. Scheim, said this was done "to remove commercial considerations from the vital issues raised." Contractbegins by establishing the power of the Mafia in the United States. The groundwork is set by citing the Mafia's assasination of Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak in 1933, during the AJ Capone-Era. The book says Cermak was murdered because "he made it his mission to drive the mob from Chicago.'' Cermak began cleaning up the city's mob activities, but was gunned downed before his "mission'' became a reality. Here the book established the Mafia's ruthlessness, stating that many of its members wouJd stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Eventually the Mob moved into Labor Unions. They became involved with vice and corruption and bribed police officials to look the other way and not raid their establishments in return for payments and other kickbacks. Contractpoints out that as the Mob found bribery easier, they came out in the open more and became more daring, opening themselves up to "wholesale slaughter and intimidation." In April 1961, John A Kirkpatrick, international president of the United Auto Workers, was threatend by Angelo Inciso a local Union leader who had Mafia connections . Inciso had been plundering Union funds. Kirkpatrick filed suit and assisted the federal effort to prosecute Inciso. After he was convicted, Inciso said to Kirkpatrick, "I am going to kill you I am not going to do it personally but I'll have it done." Five months later Kirkpatrick was found dead with a bullet hole behind his left ear. Kirkpatrick and Chicago mayor Cermak were just two on a list of people trying to fight the Mafia and their activities, who ended up dead. So where do the Kennedy brothers fit into the picture? "One particular member of the Mafia National Commission had the power, the jurisdiction, and the rabid hatred of the Kennedys to coordinate an assasination contract against the President ... '' the book says. His name - Carlos Marcello, head boss of the Mafia's "first family" in New Orleans.

In 1930, Marcello was convicted of m\ldllt but was pardoned five years later. Ev~ he grew in power among his Mafia b becoming involved in prostitutuion, n and other Mob money-making divenities. '' Although federal deportation p~ were initiated against him in 1953,_~~ thwarted authorities with end.Jess delaying maneuvers," the book says. "But (his) free ride came to a halt in l911hi with the election of President Kennedy. £..., before the president1s inauguration, Anorm; General designate, Robert Kennedy t~ the Mafia overlord for special attention by 6t

Justice Department.'' Shortly after President Kennedy took oflilt Marcello was deported by the Justice Dep.ti mcnt, and later arrested for illegal re-entryillo this country. Marcello reportedly flew into a rage any time one of the Kennedy's name was ever mentioned. The House Assassinations Committee Wit, told that Marcello had said "clearly thal • was going to arrange to have President K.. nedy killed in some way.,. Contractreports Marcello explaining bis atentions ''with an anology comparing P~ Kennedy to a dog and Attorney General nedy to its tail. 'The dog will keep biting you only cut of its tail,' Marcello obsc the dog would die if its head were cut off If President Kennedy were to die, A~ General Kennedy would lose his power. On Friday, November 22, 1963, in~ Texas, the Mafia's dog, president Ke~ was assasinated, and the tail could do no damage. Contractsalso describes the Mafia co of Lee Harvey Oswald, President Kennedy alleged assasin.

K4-~

The book points out the murders of mcwe than 15 people who were directly or indinlllJ' involved in the assasination, such as · journalists and others on the trail of ge th.e bottom of what happened on that Dallas. Also described is Oswald's assasin, J Ruby, who said he had done killed him m of ''patriotic indignation.'' Contracttraces Ruby back to his Mafia. dealing days in Chicago to his DaJlas. was known by FBI agents to operate adult quented by mobsters. Sheim researched the book for ten yean was aided by seven Harvard interns, who the book's 5,000 cited references. As a final note, one might uk: If John nedy was out of the way, why should the want to kill Robert Kennedy? In 1968, before he was assasinat~, Rolllrt Kennedy was well on his way to the Wbill House, bringing with him a desire to rid* United States of the- Mafia.

Another enjoyable performance is turned in by a nonactor - Randy "Tex" Cobb. Best known for his ability to take a punch in the ring, Cobb is also an entertaining screen performer. That good ol' boy sincerity translates into an affective screen presence. We can probably look to sec Cobb in more films of this type in the future if this is any indication of his ta1cnt. Uncommon Valor is an incredibly mediocre movie. A few points of controversy arc touched upon, but never devdoped - like 11 yellow rain" and the failure of negotiations between the Vietnamese and U.S. governmems to secure an accounting of all the missing soldiers from the war - and should have been left aJone since there was never an intention to give them any serious consideration. Uncommon Valor is unique in that it approaches a subject that has been in the news off and on the past couple of years, but has never before been tackled in film. Too bad the first attempt had to be a glossy one. Nevenhcless, it is enjoyable as a form of escapist entcnainment. Maybe someone else will get serious about the subject when the verdict finally comes in on the situation.

Pryor donates to heart trust

---,~-------'}

LOS ANGELES (AP) Comedian Richard Pryor donated $10,000 to a fund established for the family of a young man who was forced to undergo a heart transplant because of disease, a hospital spokesman said. Pryor's donation raised the total of the Derrick Gordon Heart Fund at County-USC Medical Center to $310,000. Gordon, 20, is recovering at Stanford University Medical Center. He suffered from an apparently hereditary disease - idcopathic dilated car-

diomyopathy - which resulted in an enlarged and weakened heart. Gordon underwent the transplant with help from a Sl00,00 donation from television producer Aaron Spelling, The rest of the money in the fund is being held in a trust. The fund received donations from a number of celebrities other than Pryor, including Willie Nelson, Reggie Jackson, Norman Lear, Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland .
