ASUSU discusses change in current drop policy DouGSMEATH

SeniorNews Writer

Students who drop a course late in the semester may soon face a drop fee for each unwanted class, as the current superdrop policy is under review. The Associated Students of Utah State University Executive Council discussed a proposed change in the current superdrop policy at its meeting Tuesday night. The policy, which currently punishes late droppers by noting excessive drops on their transcripts, is being reviewed by ASUSU President Nate Anderson said Vice President of Student Services Pat Terrell and Associate Vice President Lynn Poulsen. The superdrop policy has been controversial, and most council members expressed approval of changing the policy. "Frankly, I don't like the (superdrop) system myself," Anderson said. However, many Council members fear the proposed fees are too high. "I felt the fee was excessive," Anderson said. "I don't think those numbers are really fair." Under the proposed policy, students dropping courses between the fifth and 15th day after classes start would be assessed a $30 fee for each course. After that, each drop would cost $50. Anderson said the money 路 would go into the ASUSU scholarship fund. "It's not a revenue-generating mechanism for th~ university," he said. He said the intention is not to raise money for the scholarship fund but to deter students from dropping too many courses too often. Still, he said a smaller fee would serve the same purpose, only more fairly. "Jt seems to me that using a

financial fee is not a good idea because it discriminates against路 students who can't afford the fees, ASUSU Student Advocate Matt Malouf said. Council members who approve of changing the superdrop policy to a fee system disagree, but most say fees should be lower and more flexible. "I think that students have a right to drop for certain reasons up to (the drop) date," ASUSU Athletics Vice President Sam Winward said. "That's why it exists." Others worried that students with legitimate reason" fnr drooping, such as serious illness or incorrect advising, would be forced to pay for something that wasn't their fault. In fact, some said dropping classes is often a good idea. "You'd be smart to realize, 'Hey, I bit off more than I can chew,'" College of Science Senator David Duke said. However, Academics Vice President Emily Croshaw said teachers want some kind of drop policy so they can plan group work and other aspects of curriculum without dealing with constantly changing enrollment. Anderson said the council will continue to discuss the issueand will make a recommendation to Terrell and Poulsen. He said he hopes nothing will be done without a vote from the council. The council only voted on one issue at Tuesday's meeting. Because two members have class until 5:45 p.m., the meeting time was officially changed to 5:48. Anderson said he had a new year's resolution to start meetings promptly, and in order to start on time without having latecomers , the time was changed . Despite joking and laughter from council members who felt 5:48 was too specific, the motion passed unanimously.

Computer failures cause long lines, frustration VICKY CAMPBELL

News Editor

The word of the first week of the semester for many Utah State University students has been: AAAAAAAARGH! With the USU computer system failing sporadically since Jan. 4, registration and cashier lines as well as computer labs have been full of antsy students wondering what is going on. The answer? Nobody is quite certain, but Computer Services is working like mad to find out. "The problem has been relat-

ed to the student information system and the mainframe," registrar David Roos said. 路we were not able to handle the load of students accessing the system and it crashed." The problem is software-related, according to Barbara White, dean and chief information officer for Information and Learning Resources and Kim Marshall, associate director of Computer Services. The university purchased software, called CICS8, in October, Marshall said. Because it was purchased after the registration

Registration system

and tuition payment rush, it was never forced to handle a full load, he said. Thus, it was never fully tested. And, the real crunch comes during the last few days of fee payment, he said. Add to the scenario the fact that the holidays resulted in more students paying their tuition toward the end of the payment window, and there is a massive amount of information to process. However, the problem doesn't exactly lie in the amount of information or the number of transactions, but somewhere in the type of transactions being

processed, White and Marshall said. According to them, the system is designed with a central processor called the transaction manager, which is responsible for accepting information from terminals at places such as the Registration Office and Cashier Office. It also accepts information from the QUAD program via phones and the Internet. So, when it goes down, everything goes down.

Gore asks for $ISOM to figJhtAIDS UNITED NATIONS (AP) With AIDS the No. 1 killer in sub-Saharan Africa, killing 10 times more Africans than war, Vice President Al Gore pledged Monday to put the continent's AIDS crisis on the world's security agenda and outlined a new U.S. effort to fight the epidemic. Presiding over the first Security Council meeting to address a health issue, Gore announced that the White House has asked Congress for $150 million for vaccine research and prevention programs in Africa and said the White House will convene a meeting of business leaders in Africa to start developing prevention programs in the workplace. "We tend to think of a threat to security in terms of war and

peace," Gore said in the first speech by a U.S. vice president to the 15-member body. "Yet no one can doubt that the havoc wreaked and the toll exacted by HIV/ AIDS do threaten our security." AIDS is now the leading killer in sub-Saharan Africa, a region where poverty and wars have already taken a heavy toll. In 1998. 200.000 people died as a result of armed conflicts in Africa, compared to about 2.2 million from AIDS. U.S. Ambassador Richard Holbrooke scoffed at reporters' suggestions that Gore was using his U.N. appearance to further his campaign for the Democratic nomination for president. "None of what he's doing here today has any direct

impact on the present phase of the primary season. which is intense and being conducted in two states which are far away from here," Holbrooke said. He added that the Clinton administration has approached several members of Congress about the request for the extra $150 million in the proposed budget and that "support has been quite strong." Several African ministers of health addressed the open meeting. thanking Gore for the pledge of new money and describing in detail how desperately it was needed. Namibia's health minister, Dr. Libertine Amathila, said AIDS was devastating his country's economy, robbing families of breadwinners and children of their parents.

"It is immoral that the worst affected continent has the lowest access to care," she said, urging wealthy countries make drugs to treat those infected with HIV available at prices Africans can afford. She cited statistics from UNAIDS, a Geneva-based organization of epidemiologists and statisticians who study AIDS, that show only $165 million was spent on AIDS prevention in Africa in 1996, while estimates suggest that between $800 million and $2.5 billion a year is needed. "It is worth pondering how the international community successfully mobilized hundreds of billions of dollars over the last few years to minimize the

WorldGLANce > Panelmovesto eliminate the useof 'squaw' in naming geographic locations HELENA,Mont. (AP)- A committee working to rid Montana of the word "squaw" in geographic names has made its first recommendation, involving a mountain road just south of Helena. Squaw Gulch should become Wakina Sky Gulch, said the Advisory Committee on House Bill 412, adopting a proposal by a group of Indian school children. The recommendation will be sent on to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The committee headed by Rep. Carol Juneau, D-Browning, is considering new names for 74 locations statewide that are labeled with "squaw." The word is a vulgarity for Indian women, Juneau told legislators last year when she sponsored the namechange bill. She said Tuesday it will take a couple of years for the committee to recommend names for the 74 sites, including meadows, mountains, valleys and streams. If the Board on Geographic Names endorses the changes proposed by the Montana committee, renamings will advance to the office of Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, for final action . Selection of Wakina Sky Gulch for the road near Helena was decided by the state panel Friday, after children in the Wakina Sky Learning Circle and Library proposed the name. Loosely translated from the language of the Salish Indians, Wakina Sky means "beautiful red sunrise," said Marcia Dias, codirector of the organization, an after-school program. Dias said the children suggested about a dozen names for the road. Before making their selection, they bicycled to the gulch in October, to familiarize themselves with it.

DETROIT (AP)- Ford Motor Co., the company that put the world on wheels powered by gasoline, will soon sell a plasticbody car, a golf cart and bicycles - all driven by electricity. The electric vehicles will be sold under the brand name Think, which will become the company's home for vehicles powered by anything other than internal combustion engines. Th!nk will also serve as a research center for Ford. "The idea of Th!nk is to work on vehicles and technology that's a little more out there,'' Ford president and CEO Jae Nasser said Monday. Ford showed off the Th!nk line, named for a Norwegian electric car company that Ford bought a year ago, during previews for the North American International Auto Show. The show opens to the public on Saturday. The Th!nk City is a small plastic-bodied, hatchback car that can travel 55 miles, though it is currently available only in Norway. Forti will introduce a version in about two years and could not offer an estimated cost. ' The Think Neighbor is a golf cart-like open vehicle for use in closed communities, with speed limited to 25 mph and an estimated price of $6,000. The two bicycles will have ranges of up to 30 miles, and will cost $1,000 to $1,200. While several automakers have built electric vehicles, none has had much success because of their high cost, limited range and long recharge times. GM sold only 137 of its futuristic EVl coupes last year. Ford sells electric versions of its Ranger pickups, but mostly to governments and businesses. Nasser said that while Th!nk might not be a major source of revenue for Ford, it still makes good business sense because it will meet consumer demand for alternative products and help develop new technologies.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP)- Four Army staff sergeants three men and one woman - face court-martial in a sexual misconduct case involving trainees. The four, charged Monday, were based at Fort Eustis, where they trained soldiers in such skills as truck driving and aviation maintenance. Among those charged was instructor Leroy Barnwell, 26, accused of making a false statement and inappropriate advances toward female students; drill sergeant Reginald Blanding, 32, accused of obstruction and sodomy; and instructor Julio Jaramillo, 27, accused of obstruction of justice, indecent acts and sodomy. Drill sergeant Diane Cooper, 28, was charged with making a false statement and forgery. She is accused of wrongfully having a personal relationship with a student she married two weeks after training ended and lying to investigators about it. All four were charged with violating a regulation that governs the relationship between permanently assigned personnel and soldiers who are on base for training. Military code forbids even consensual sexual relations between trainers and trainees. Barnwell and Ms. Cooper face a maximum sentence of a badconduct discharge and six months confinement. Blanding and Jaramillo could be sentenced to 36 years and 33 years, respectively, and dishonorable discharges.

> Cosmo covergetscensored 'byKroger CINCINNATI (AP)- Kroger, the nation's largest grocery chain, will cover up Cosmopolitan magazine at checkout stands because of complaints about headlines like "Sex Tricks He's Never Seen Before" and "20 Earth-Quaking Moves That Will Make Him Plead for Mercy - and Beg for More." Spokesman Gary Rhodes said Tuesday that all of the company's stores are installing racks this month that will cover up everything but the magazine's name. Kroger operates 2,268 grocery stores and about 800 convenience stores in 31 states under the names Kroger, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, Smith's, King Soopers, Dillon, Fry's, Food 4 Less and Quality Food Centers. The decision was hailed by Morality in Media, a New York organization that has been pressuring the nation's supermarket chains to remove or cover magazines with "lurid sexual content" from checkout aisles. Kroger said customers complained more about the words on the cover than about the picture, which is usually of a woman ' with deep cleavage. King Soopers, Colorado's biggest supermarket chain, will install the blinders at all 81 stores this week, said Dave Savage, King Soopers vice president for retail sales in Colorado. "We have had to pull Cosmo many times because the cover was not fit for the checkout area," where children would see it, Savage said.

City of Logan to examine the definition of 'family' LEAH l. CULLER

Assistant News Editor

A proposed redefining of terms in Logan's land development code could be bad news for many Utah State University students living in homes in Logan. Currently, traditional families related by blood, adoption or marriage or three unrelated people and their children are allowed to live in homes in traditional neighborhoods. The stipulations on groups living in single-family zones could soon be changed to allow only two unrelated adults and their children. The proposed definition, derived in part from a Supreme Court ruling, describes a family in a traditional neighborhood as "living and cooking together · as a single housekeeping unit." Technically. a pair of college students wouldn't necessarily fit the definition if they don't cook together or live as a single

fACULlY Continuedfrom Page1 Currently, university studies require a student to take one class designated as a breadth course from each of five areas. This excludes the college of a student's major. The new requirements would mean a student must take six breadth courses, including one from his or her major college. However. Petersen said this shouldn't increase a student's class load. "It was frankly to make us look comparable to other schools in our general education program," he said. "It's a program similar to other Utah schools. whose general educa-

housekeeping unit. Assistant City Attorney Kymber Housely said it would be difficult to enforce this, however. Community Development Director Eric Toll said neighborhoods are concerned about how the character of the neighborhood is affected when a home changes from owner-occupied to a rental unit. According to Toll, rentals often have more occupants than allowed by ordinance. A change in policy would significantly affect the rental market. The city will hold a public hearing on the proposal to redefine what makes up a family Thursday. The hearing will begin as soon as the city finishes other business, and will start no sooner than 7:30 p.m. The hearing will be held in City Hall, 225 N. Main St. in Logan. The public is invited and encouraged to attend to voice its concern about this issue.

tion requirements look as if they involve more credits." In most majors, students are already required to take at least one class for graduation that is also considered a breadth course. This course would count as a major requirement as well as a breadth credit under the new system. Petersen said. In majors that currently require no classes that have been tagged as breadth courses, Petersen said department heads would be allowed to pick one of their required courses to be designated as a breadth course. He said the new program would also separate breadth and depth requirements. making it easier for transfer students to fulfill their university studies.

Ogden manwillpleadinsanity in murder case OGDEN. Utah (AP)- Jeffrey Lynn Jones· shotgun attack on two people was recorded on a 7-Eleven security video and his confession was saved on a 911 tape.

Board Utah! Fighter pilot for hire No COMMENT/

Grant Gold

I recently got a job at Beaver Mountain as a snowboard instructor and so the powers that be have requested that I write about how snowboarding is better than skiing. To be perfectly honest I don't feel right about perpetuating that old rivalry. I might as well write about how my dad can beat up your dad. Or maybe I should expound on how there exists a direct correlation between stepping on cracks and broken backs among mothers. All nonsense if you ask me. Yet I have a job to do and this is how I would do it ... We all face choices in our lives. Will it be a steak or just hot dogs for dinner? Save up for the Porsche or get the Pinto now? Jennifer Lopez or Linda Tripp? Fifth Avenue candy bar or a Butterfinger? Trip to Hawaii or family outing to Lagoon? Snowboarding or skiing? What is it about snowboarding that makes it so cool? Maybe it is the grass-roots movement of the sport in the late '70s and early '80s. It could be the rebellious nature because of the resistance given by the mainstream skiing industry up until the early '90s. Let's face it, snowboarding is the way James Dean would have gotten down the mountain. The rebel without a cause would have found one in deep powder turns, fully laid out high speed carves, and large copious amounts of air. He would have landed smack dab in the middle of Eden and not just to the east of it. The sport of snowboarding is the innovator. It is the risk taker. Ultimately, for both the resorts and the skiing industry, it is the life saver. That's right, it, is not because of good will that the resorts have let snowboards in. Let's just say we should actually spell it $nowboarding. Forty-two percent of people on the mountain between the ages of 18 and 24 are snowboarding and those figures are growing. Those older than 24 are taking up the sport as well. More and more parents are taking up snowboarding and joining their children on the slopes. Let's not forget the contribution snowboarding has made to a declining ski industry. Yep, sales were dropping and then came along a brand new ski. It was called the shaped ski or parabolic ski. This type of ski has a radical side cut (a much deeper curve) which has revolutionized skiing by breathing new life into a dying industry. Where ever did they get that nifty idea? Snowboarding. Skiers have even adopted the clothing of boarders. Why they would even think of abandoning those super-groovy neon colored body suits is a mystery to me but they have. In style now are the baggier pants with a better functioning, more stylish jacket. Al I introduced by snowboarding. Nothing can describe the feeling of floating through the powder as it sprays up and over your entire body. The sense of freedom is amplified even more by .the speeds you can reach as gravity claws at you and your board. Sur~, skrers can enjoy the powder as well, however they seem to do a lot more sinking than floating. I guess you could say they are the submarines and snowboarders are the F-16's. Now don't get me wrong, both must be very important or the

Q: What do a vacuum cleaner and a snowboard have in common? A: They are both attached to dirtbags. An example: Picture it. You arise at the crack of dawn. The chill in the air takes your breath away when you step outside, but that doesn't stop the need to revel in the fresh foot of powder that fell while you slept peacefully in your bed. Driving to your favorite piece of the Wasatch, excitement swells in your stomach spreading through your limbs to resonate in your toenails and the tips of your teeth . Climbing on the lift, your spot on the mountain comes into view. Etched in the baby blue sky, there it is. It's the perfect run. The one you've been working toward your entire life. That expert black diamond, daredevils-only suicide peak that every skier cruises perfectly only in their dreams. Nothing, you think, could spoil the first snowfall of the season. You will, you're convinced, be queen/king of the mountain once more. You're revved up to carve the first tracks in fresh powder when some punk with a jester hat that couldn't possibly possess more projectiles with bells cuts you off, hogging the entire mountain for himself. Let's just say there's a reason snowboarders aren't allowed on the well-groomed slopes of most high-class ski resorts. Could it be, um, they have no class? The snowboarders who aren't pre-pubescent twits sport their three-day stubble, greasy, long dreadlocks and M.C. Hammerwannabe pants. Who needs skill when you can float down the mountain with two parachutes attached to your waist. At least the bells give you a slight warning before they plow you over. Let's face it, Hollywood's biggest stars have always gone to Sun Valley, Idaho, in the winter to ski. It's the classy thing to do. You don't see Meryl Streep "hangi n' 1O" on a board. That's because boarders are the Dennis Rodmans of the ski hills. Even our "class-act" president, the man who knows all too well that image is everything, took his family skiing, not boarding. And, technically, skiing is more complex than boarding. Instead of

Just in case the ski bum thing doesn't work out.

MARIABLACKBURN

The BaltimoreSun

The trashiest line of work for women in televisiontoday- barring "JerrySpringer· guest appearances, of course - almost surely is cheerleader for World ChampionshipWrestling,also known as a Nitro Girl. The newest Nitro Girl,Skye. wears tube tops, fishnets and hot pants. She bumps and grinds hip thrusts in the ring between televised wrestlingmatches involving behemoths named The Total Packageand Dr. Death. Backhome, in her real world in Rosedale,Md.,you'd never recognize her. In November,Stacy"Skye" Keiblerbeat out 300 competitors for a $10,000checkand a Nitro Girl spot. Her winning performance - a 90-secondhigh-energy dance routine during the WCW's "MondayNitro,"- was seen on televisionby 4.4 million viewers. accordingto Nielsen Media Research. Sinceher TV debut, the 20year-oldKeiblerhas been busy, in and out of the ring. These days, Nitro Girlswrestleas well as dance. So recently,Skye"knocked out" fellowNitro Girl Spicewith a makeup case and drew on her facewith lipstick,then hipcheckeda 300-pound Nitro Girl wannabe who tried to muscle in on a dance routine. Trashy,trashy,trashy! But outside the ring, Keiblerisn't Skye. She still liveswith her folksin the house where she grew up, still sleeps in the same room in the same twin bed with the white porcelain crucifixand the poster of babies dressed as teddy bears hanging above the headboard. She still dates the same guy she's been goingwith since the summer after her freshman year at the Catholic High Schoolof Baltimore.She wearsjeans and no makeup. Trashy she's not. "I'mnot like that," Keiblersays, the sting of having to defend herself audible in her sweet,girlish voice."I'mjust doing what I like to do." What she likesto do is dance. Any kind of dance: ballet.jazz,tap. She'sbeen dancing since age 3. "Shedanced from the minute she was born."her mother. Pat. boasts. "Stacywas one of those kids you'd find dancing on top of the coffeetable." She is 5 feet 11 inches taH,she says,standing and stretchingas if to make the point. "Tootall for the Rockettes,"she adds, sounding slightlywistful. Instead, she found waysto perform closerto home: modeling, earning bit parts in moviessuch as "LibertyHeights"and "Pecker," and becominga cheerleader for the BaltimoreRavens.

actressthrough her opportunity to play a wrestlingcharacter.

for her stint as a Nitro Girl.That and not missingan episode of "MondayNitro· for the past three years. Keibler'sboyfriend,Kris Cumberland,has been watching WCWfor years. Stacyjoined him - reluctantly,at first. "Iwas like, 'You'vegot to be kidding me,"'she says.Then the couple attended a live WCW show together and she was swept up in the athleticism.the enthusiasm and the show biz. She was smitten. "It'sa soap opera,"she says. She's right. Professional wrestlingis part soap opera, part action-adventure,part cartoon, part Oprah and part love story. There are good guys - "babyfaces· in wrestlinglingo - and bad guys, or "heels."Fans know the matches are scriptedby the show's writers. They watch anyway. "MondayNitro,"which airs from a different city each week, regularlysellsout 20,000-seatarenas. "It used to be the Nitro Girls would come out and dance for 30 seconds,"Keiblersays."Ifyou changed the channel, you could miss them. Now the girls are getting scripted into the action." And already the Nitro girlsare at war. Try to keep up: The war started

when KimberlyPage,the group's founder and a former Playboy bunny, quit the Nitro Girls to avoid being stalked by a psycho wrestler.A power struggle ensued, and the babyfacesfaced off against the heels. It was three against three, with two girls remaining neutral. Spice,a babyface, fought A.C.Jazzfor the title of group leader and won. A.C.Jazz left the ·group.Tygress,a heel, plotted to usurp Spice'spower. Thrown into this chaos, Keibler'scharacter,Skye,had to make a choice:Was she a good girl or a bad girl?Actually,the writers made the choice. Tm a heel,"Keibler says,giggling. So a woman who says she's never had a fight in her life is now pullinghair, shouting and fighting on national television. "Stacy's.sonice and easygoing.I just can"tsee her playinga bad guy."Keibler'sfriend and Ravens cheerleadingcaptain Teri DiFatta agrees."Shemust be a good' actress." Acting,in fact, is Keibler'sultimate goal.Beinga Nitro Girl is great and all- the fans, the performing.the travel to such exotic placesas LittleRock,Ark., Detroit and Indianapolis.But it isn't her dream job.

or. It's 'I am somebody ,' not 'I will be somebody.' It's 'I am hap pening,' no t 'I will be happening someday.·" Gitlin says ifs telling what passes now for knowledge (or at least trivia fodder) on today's games - primarily , he says, facts about television and popular ' culture. In fact, "Winning Lines" is a show combining knowledge of pop trivia with brute memorization skills. Big money now rides on being able to identify Britney Spears on "Jeopardy!" One "Millionaire" contestant passed at a chance to take home $500,000 by answering this question : How many von Trapp children were there in "The Sound of Music"? (Seven). "The information that the producers believe is universally appreciated is information about the media," Gitlin says. 'Their gamble is that people would rather watch someone (familiar with ) that body of information than watch someone who knows about opera, molecular biology, the royal families of recent centuries, the political history of Europe, or butterflies: Ben Stein, host of the game show "Win Ben Stein's Money," offers a more succinct ana lysis: "People are dumber," he says flatly. "I was a well-educated graduate of a public high school in 1962 (also, a graduate of Columbia University). Now, compared to what people have sunk to , I am considered an incredibly well-informed person ." Unlike the pandering "Millionaire," the premise of Stein's show is that Stein is smarter (or at least better informed) than his contestants. At the end of a qualifying round , one contestant takes on Stein in a head-to-head match for a $5.000 prize (Stein doesn't get a look at the questions in advance). He calls his show, which airs on the Comedy Central cable network, "insanely difficult."_ Among recent questions : At the Battle of Trafalgar, Lora Nelson was killed aboard what ship? (The HMS Victory.) And: What particle inside the nucleus carries a positive charge? (The proton .) To be fair, the contestants of the 1950s weren't just folks off the street. They tended to be well educated, even intellectual, and often with quasi-expert knowledge in a particular subject. Char les Van Doren was a college professor; Dr. Joyce Brothers appeared on "The $64,000 Question· as an authority on boxing (she,won $64,000). The show also once featured Robert Strom, an 11-year-old boy genius, and Richard Mccutchen, who won by describing all five courses and two wines served at a 1939 banquet given by King George VI of England. Even so, says Stein, "in the 1950s, the questions reflected knowledge that a well-educated person with an excellent liberal arts background would have. Now ... (producers) have given up asking whether people know ' about the Treaty of Utrecht or what amendment to the Constitution gives former slaves the right to vote. They 'd rather ask who the drummer for Motley Crue is."

Basketball games: 'Let me in!'

ED I To R

First, I'd like to say how fun the basketball game was against BYU because of the atmosphere we created. All games can be that fun if the student body comes out and supports the university and its athletic teams. Second, my main purpose is to inform all students on how to get into the basketball games minus the hassle. Similar to football, there is an entrance set aside for students: the south entrance of the Spectrum. If you haven't been to a game or don't know this policy, here is what I found out you can do to "beat the system" in getting into the games.

VIEWPOINTS/ Gregon;P. Kane Before the new year gets too old, let's just attend to some traditional year-end business, shall we? I don't believe in this "end of the century/end of the millennium" nonsense that was bandied about through all of 1999. I would point out, as letter writer Doy Prunty of Baltimore observed, that "the new century and the new millennium will begin at the stroke of midnight on December 31, 2000." Prunty also advised those skeptics who insist on counting quantities - years, in this case - by starting with zero instead of one that he would give them 99 cents for every buck they gave him. But let's just consider the century and millennium over as of right now. Do we really want to go through choosing the athlete of the century, the entertainer of the century and the person of the century all over again? I would doubt it, especially since all the selections were wrong. The ESPN network - noting the findings of 48 "experts" chose Michael Jordan over Babe Ruth as

athlete of the century. It's still appear a reasonable choice. The debatable if Jordan is even the guy revolutionized his science and greatest basketball player of the discovered the equation that century.

free student ticket. This way you can go to any entrance you want, show your ID and ticket, and they will let you in. Forget to get a ticket: If you don't have an advanced ticket and only have your ID, you must go to the south gate facing the HPER Field to get in. This is the only gate where they have the card scanners, and consequently, the only gate where students can get in without a ticket. Why only one entrance??? They have had problems with people getting stuck on the escalator due to the long lines right before tipoff. So, it's a safety issue. Also, without a significant number of students consistently attending the games, one entrance is sufficient. That entrance is the south gate because of its proximity to the student section. With this information in mind, I hope that the students can continue to support the university and cheer on the Aggies. See you at the game!

I have this I ittle problem that involves my parents. It has nothing to do with love or respect, money or emotional support -- a 11of which they give me in abundance.The problem doesn't even lie with them. It's with me, in my conscience. One day, I struggle in class but feel all right about it because, hey, I tried my best. But the next day, I feel as if my effort in class really wasn't enough and that I wasted the hard-earned money my parents spent on tuition. The bottom Ii ne is that at the cool, reckless age of 21, I still care what my parents think about me. In fact, I care a lot. Allow me to preface my thoughts by saying that my parents are perfectly normal, busy people who manage to lead fulfilling lives of their own -- but when I took off for an out-of-state school four years ago, it was still painful. I didn't like seeing my parents cry over me leaving. I mean, I was the same person who wouldn't pick up her clothes and who could stretch the definition of "curfew," so why were they so sorry to see me leave? Strange, perhaps, but I felt guilty about leaving them. Sophomore year, I called my parents up every other week because I couldn't understand why I was such a failure in my Italian class. Mom and Dad didn't mind, as lon)3 as I worked hard, but I felt as if I d really let them down. Last year was th~ big one, however. My younger brother left the nest for his first year of college -another out-of-state institution, and I departed to study abroad in

Florence. Am I excited for my brother? Sort of. Am I thrilled about this opportunity of mine? Kind of. Do I feel as if I'm leaving my parents alone and lonely? Oh God, yes. College is a time of growing up and changing. It comes as a big shock, however, when one realizes that "changing" doesn't just mean becoming more of an adult in the university environment, but rather becoming more of an adult in the realm of family. Whether that means finally departing from the kiddy table at family gatherings, or having "real" conversations with Mom and Pop, it's a big change. It's scary to come home and realize that your folks aren't the al I-knowi ng autocrats they were five years ago. It's also easier to see their weaknesses and fears, sore points and basic mortality. Itstarts to sink in that as you're growing older, so are your parents. It's very scary. I was talking to a friend about this phenomenon and the emotional toll it can take, worrying about being a good person and a good kid to your parents. We came to a conclusion that makes sense, and makes us feel a little bit better. This sort of paranoia of your parental and familial world changing around you shows an appreciation for what has brought you up and made you the person you are. Believe it or not, your parents may just have been doing a good job the whole time. So thank them, and tell them you love them. It makes them feel better. And it'll make you feel better, too.

es my first week back. I was miserable and in pain and felt cheated and guilty. For a long time I had fallen out of touch with Celia, and had only been talking to her again since November 1998. We e-mailed and chatted over the computer - discussing what we would do when we saw each other over winter break. I never saw her. We talked numerous times over the vacation, but she always called and wanted me to come over as I was climbing into bed, and when I cal led, her father would tell me she was out shopping or out with friends or cousins. Celia had so many people in her life who cared for her. She was so giving. She was small but she was strong. She had even lost her own brother when she was younger. Now her parents had to bury a second child. That is all I thought of as I threw a single rose onto her coffin and shoveled dirt into the void where she rested. Her parents had a "sharing session" at their house the night of the funeral, and friends sat around and told funny sto-

ries about her. Her parents made inquiries into the stories they only knew portions of we spilled the truths about all the situations that girl managed to get into. The feeling was warm, the emotion was strong, and the mood was upl ifting. I guess as a psychiatr ist, Celia's father realized that this storytelling time would provide her friends with a sense of c losure and a catalyst for heali ng. But still I think of her, and want to know why that I ittl e daredevil was kidnapped by death from her fami ly and friends. I want to call her and hear her laugh. I want to put our hair up in pigtails again and take pictures of us acting childish. I want to sit besid~ her again in our high school yearbook and newspaper classes and learn about layout and feature writing. We already thought we knew so much about newspaper then, but unt il I got to college, I didn't know that the obituary page was the most wide ly read page of the newspaper. No classroom prepared me, though, for the day I would have to see my own friend's face on it.

Clinton to add $2.2 billion for niissile defense in 200 I budget -WASHINGTON (AP)President Clintowtntends to· ask' Congress in his 2001 budget for a $2.2 billion increase in spending for a national missile defense, mainly for an expanded arsenal of interceptor rockets to be based in Alaska or North Dakota, defense officials said Tuesday. Just a year ago the Clintonadministration added $6.6 billion to the Pentagon's missile defense budget, and officials now estimate deployment of such a system will cost $127 billion in the next five years. Clinton's request to pour more money into missile defense is likely to meet with favor in Congress, where Republicans have pushed the administration for years to move more quickly to deploy such a system. A much more ambitious missile defense project initiated by President Reagan in 1983, called the Strategic Defense Initiative but informally known as "Star Wars" for its futuristic weaponry, withered after Reagan left office. The idea died early in Clinton's first term. In the past year, the Pentagon has argued that the nation faces a growing threat from missile attack. Several countries hostile to the United States, including North Korea, Iran and Iraq, are said to be seeking a capability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles. U.S. satellites can detect missile launchings anywhere on the globe, but the United States has no means of shooting down

long-range missiles m mgnt. "The threat is real, (and) it will, in all likelihood, intensify in the coming years as countries continue to acquire chemical, biological and nuclear capabilities," Defense Secretary William Cohen said last month . Clinton is to decide as early as July whether to go ahead with deployment. Critics say the system is unlikely to provide a reliable defense against ballistic missiles and that it will require the United States to withdraw from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty, which many consider the bedrock of arms control. Cohen has recommended spending another $1.9 billion to pay for an arsenal of 100 inter ceptors, according to officials who discussed the matter on condition they not be identified. The current budget pays only for 20 interceptors, which would not be enough to quash an attack of more than a few long-range missiles. Clinton is to submit his budget to Congress on Feb, 7. Kenneth Bacon, spokesman for Cohen, said Tuesday he could not discuss details of the budget in advance, but he mentioned that the Pentagon's overall weapons procurement account would increase to "within a whisper" of $60 billion, from $56 billion in the budget year ending Sept. 30. Cohen also recommended adding $300 million for more

missile defe e-teslini,ltnore spare parts and construction of a second missile launcher for interceptor tests from the Kwajalein Missile Range in the Marshall Islands. Those steps were among numerous recommendations by a missile defense review panel headed by retired Air Force Gen . Larry Welch, which said the program was on a "highly demanding" schedule . The Welch report, published last November, said Clinton would be in position to determine by July the feasibility of a national missile defense but not whether the technology and equipment are ready to be deployed. The final version of the interceptor is not scheduled to be tested in flight until 2003. A prototype interceptor is to be launched from Kwajalein next Tuesday. The test is designed to demonstrate the Raytheon Corp.-built interceptor's ability to receive in-flight targeting data from military satellites and radars, then steer itself into the path of a mock warhead arching through space and destrq_yit. The first test of the prototype interceptor , last October, hit the target, but the critical data links in that test were pre-programmed before the rocket was launched . In next week's test, the interceptor is to receive data from a new radar stationed on the Kwajalein range shortly before it separates from the rocket booster, about 1,400 miles from its target in space.

Ecuador president defends plansto adoptU.S.dollar as official currency QUITO, Ecuador (AP)Ecuador's embattled president on Tuesday defended his plan·to replace the country's currency with the U.S. dollar, as large Indian and labor groups renewed demands for Jamil Mahuad's resignation. The Indian organizations, which have protested frequently in the past, said they planned demonstrations Saturday to force Mahuad's ouster and to shut down Congress and the courts as part of their drive for a government that will work on behalf of the poor. "A government of national sal-

vation is necessary," said Antonio Vargas, president of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador, the nation's largest Indian federation . The Popular Front, a grouping of leftist-led unions, student organizations and grassroots neighborhood associations, said T4esday it would resume street protests. The president defended his currency plan as the only solution to end Ecuador's economic chaos and said all necessary force would be used to maintain order. "They have the right to ask. to aspire and to put forth ideas,"

Mahuad said during a public ceremony. "But there is no right to break the rule of law and the constitution, and much worse, to endanger the economic and social stability of the nation." Some political analysts believe Mahuad's position remains tenuous and could deteriorate rapidly if his plan runs into roadblocks. "It's a desperate step," said political scientist Simon Pachano. "It's more a political measure than an economic measure . Last week Mahuad was at the point of falling and made this decision as the only way to save his government."

USUfootball coach MickDennehy addressesreportersat a pressconferenceannouncinghis hiring on Dec. 3.

opportunities that have lured coaches from one job to another for years. After eight years with the University of Kentucky, Riuk Pitino left the Wildcats for a job as head coach of the Boston Celtics. During his tenure at Kentucky, Pitino took a program fresh off a two-year NCAA probation and turned it into a national contender. He reached the NCAA tournament in the spring of 1992, just three years after accepting the job at UK, where the Wildcats lost to Duke University in the East Regional Final - a game many people consider to be one of the greatest college games ever played. It was the beginning of what became a highly successful program under Pitino's careful guidance . In all, Kentucky made five trips to the Elite Eight. three to the Final Four and won one NCAA championship dur-

ing the Pitino era. Yet, all the success he experienced at Kentucky wasn't enough to keep him there. When the Celtics offered him a job as head coach in May of 1997, Pitino accepted. Pitino has seen limited suecess in Boston, compiling a 6996 record with The Celtics. However, 31 of his 96 losses came last year in the lockoutshortened, SO-gameschedule. The season's vigorous pace played havoc with several teams, and the Celtics may have been one of them . Nevertheless, Pitino was on dry, secure land at Kentucky and chose to jump on a sinking ship in the Boston Harbor. He's not alone. Atlanta Braves hitting coach Don Baylor signed with the Chicago Cubs on Nov. 4, replacing Jim Riggleman as manager of the troubled franchise. Baylor

made it to the World Series this year with the Atlanta Braves a ttam that has become a virtual lock on the post season. Yet, he traded in his yearly post season ticket with the Braves for an uncertain future with the Cubs, a club that made the playoffs a year ago, but finished last in the NL Central in 99 with a 67-95 record, despite a $60 million payroll. In fact, the Cubs had just three more victories than their right fielder Sammy Sosa had home runs (64). "It's going to be a challenge," Baylor told the Associated Press. "There are so many Cubs fans all over the world. Just think if we ever won. I want to be part ' of that." Dennehy said staying at one place and protecting your job has become difficult over the years, due to the increasing pressure to win instantly. "It's become business-like," he said. "It has become very cut-throat in a lot of ways." Maybe it's that business-like pressure that moves coaches from one job to another . Whatever the reasons, onpe might say Pitino and Baylor's decisions are somewhat understandable. Both coaches moved up to the next level so to speak. However, for Seattle Seahawks' head coach Mike Holmgren, moving up the ladder was not an option , for he was at the top. If anything, Holmgren·s decision had to initially be considered as a step down the ladder, or sideways at least. Holmgren signed with the Seahawks prior to the 1999 season after one of the more successful stints as head coach in league history. He was 75-37 in

International~

USUfootballcoachMick Dennehy talks with playersafter a pressconference.

Were Holmgren·s motives the same as Dennehy's? Had he just been in Green Bay for too long? Was it time for a new challenge? And in both cases. wasn't it hard to leave? "Everything that I looked at just kept pointing in this direction except one thing. and that's the emotional. deep-rooted feelings that you have on the human level for the guys that go out and lay it on the line for you: Dennehy said. "That was the thing I think I struggled with the most." Dennehy said he visited Utah State 75 percent convinced there was no way he would leave the University of Montana. However, once he spoke with President George Emert and Athletic Director Rance Pugmire and saw their commitment to the football program, he began to think the job was for him. "Allof the non-human, less important factors were all very favorable here at Utah State: he said. "When I left here. I knew it was going to be a difficult decision. There were so many things that are good here at Utah State. My brain kept telling me that it was a no-brainer, and my heart kept telling me that it was going to be tough." Dennehy said his wife played a major part in the decision. helping him overcome the emotional battle. "Basicallyshe said, 'Hey. we've been here a long time, and you've done a great job. But it's

time to go.' Which shocked me." he said. "I thought I was going to have to do some selling." He said while simply having a new challenge was appealing to him, it was not the only reason for taking the job at Utah State. "Each season . each new team, each new group of kids that you bring in presents new challenges and things like that. but you kind of settle in sometimes to a comfort zone: he said. ·1 think coaches are like players. I think they're very competitive. I think they welcome those challenges, and this is a different kind of challenge. There always comes a time when you start thinking about new directions in your life, and this was a great opportunity." And while some people worry that programs such as Utah State's might slip at times like these, Dennehy said he's confident the players can overcome such changes. He said he knows the players will adjust and thinks they are eager to learn. "The thing that saves us all is the game." he said. "I think kids like to play football I think they like to work hard. I think they like to be disciplined, and I think (because of) their love for the g~me ... they kind of understand that maybe nothing is sacred. Maybe (no job) is safe, yet they're still going to have the opportunity to play the game and to do something they love to do." And so will Dennehy, regardless of the reasons.

USU tips off conference games with Cal State WADE DENNISTON

SeniorSports Writer

After the longest preseason in the history of Utah State Universitybasketball,during which the team went 9-5 and tied the 199798 squad for the most non-conference wins in school history, the Aggiesare ready to open BigWest Conference play on a high note. "Ninewins is something that I didn't anticipate we could do with the schedule we had,"said USUhead coach Stew Morrill. "We had some non-(Division)-1games, but other than that, we had as tough a schedule as Utah State's had recently in preseason." The Aggiesopen conference play at home Thursday night at 7:05p.m. against California State Universityat Fullerton. Evenwith the nine preseason victories, three of USU'slosseswere to in-state opponents. However,Weber State University, the Universityof Utah and Brigham Young Universityare a combined 34-8 so far this season. . The Aggiesdid beat some quality teams, though. ·we beat the WACfavorite Fresno State, we beat a PAC-10team, which isn't overly common, l guess," Morrillsaid. "Wedid some good things, too. There's nobody in our league (that) has more than nine wins going into conferenceplay, so that's a positive.· New MexicoState Universityalso has nine wins, while Long Beach State Universityhas USU'sTony Browngets trappedin a game against Utah. the second-most at eight. nent, Simon Fraser University, losing 80-77. In spite of the loss to BYU,which snapped One player the Aggieswill have to key on is USU's13-game home court winning streak, the 6-foot-7senior forward Ike Harmon, who is Aggiesare ready to begin BigWest play. "The most important thing right now is to averaginga team-high 16.9points per game, as get ready for league and have some energy,and well as leading the team in blocks with 12. some excitement and emotion for conference," So, what kind of player is Harmon?Morrill said. "That'swhat we're trying to get "Athletic,active,flies around, takes you off done." the dribble, posts you up, jumps above you totally ridiculous match-up,"Morrill said. 'You Utah State will start the second season against the 5-6 Titans. can't put a smaller guy on him because he'll Despite CS Fullerton'srecord, Morrill knows 'post him up. that anything can happen on any given night "Match-up is a real problem with Harmon in the BigWest this year. because he's an inside-outsideguy that's too "The good thing about our league is anyquick for your big guy to guard outside, too big body can beat anybody,"he said. "It's just wild." for your small guy to guard inside.

Beforethat loss, the Titans that concerns the Aggies. had won four in a row. "He can get rolling from three, then you've The Titans and Toreros played two games got real problems," Morrill said. So far this season, Harmon has only hit 9this year with San Diegowinning both (81-77). Fullerton State also played another USUoppo- of-30 three-point attempts (30 percent), but has

hit an overall 70-of-160of his shots from the field (43.8percent). "Obviously,this guy's pretty dang good," Morrill said. BesidesHarmon, two other Titans are averaging in double figures as junior center Matt Caldwellis posting 12.7points a game and senior Mark Murphy is putting up 11:5. The last time USU and CSFmet was on Feb. 4, 1999,ending in an 88-78 Titan win in Fullerton, Calif.Prior to that contest, the Aggies had won 10 in a row dating back to the 199293 season. Senior forward Troy Rolleled all Utah State scorers in last year's game as he put up 18 points. Sophomore guard Tony Browncame off the bench to score 15. The Aggieslead the all-time series, 27-15, and haven't allowedthe Titans a victory in Logansince Feb.6, 1982 (72-68), a streak of 15 straight games. Still,USU knows Cal State Fullerton will most likelygive it a game. "They're playing real hard," Morrill said. ·'They're going small at times, they're athletic, and they're mixing defenses a little bit. They've got experience. I think experience counts in so many waysiDiterms of what you're trying to ' ~ get done. ~ "They'redoing a good job defensively." a; USU has done extremelywell at home in ~ conferencegames over the past couple of sea; sons, racking up a 25-1 record,with its only ~ blemish coming last season to the University of d California at Santa Barbara, a 66-65 overtime loss. Sincejoining the BigWest before the start of the 1988-89season, USU has won four straight conferenceopeners (4-1) at home, with its only loss coming to Fresno State University, 76-72,during the 1988-89campaign. The Aggieshave had nearly the same success on the road in BigWest openers, going 4-2. Over the past six seasons in league action, the Aggieshave had a winning record, posting a 68-34 conference record in that span. USUhead coach StewMorrill is 2-1 all-time vs. Cal State Fullerton, with his only loss coming last year.

Com watches.The USU gymnastics team opens the seasonat Utah on Thursdayevening at 7.

Their goals haven't changet1much over the years: winning the BigWest Championships, qualifyingfor regionalsand, of course. competing in nationals. But their ability to achieve them has. The nationally ranked Utah State Universitygymnastics team has 13 meets and some tough competition, including the Universityof Utah, the University of Denver,the Universityof Nebraska, the University of West Virginia,and Brigham YoungUniversity,all of them ranked in the top 25. But with added difficulty,all new routines, experienced returners and talented freshman, the team is prepared to meet the challenge. Freshmen comprise almost half the team and will be an important asset, head coach Ray Corn said.Tina Ellisand Kristen Bloom are expected to contribute in the all-around, and tumbling powerhouse Erin Maguirewill add to the line up. "Hopefully,the fans will be delighted in the new faces that they will see, and the incredible amount of talent that existswithin the entire team, and particularly within the new people,"Corn said. Jessenia Abrego.one of the top returning vault, bar and floor performers, will be out for the season with a torn ACL.Nicole Kilpatric,a freshman elite who has been nationally ranked, has a torn Achilles. Another freshman, AllisonRosenthal. is also recovering from a knee injury. YetCorn is confident that, despite the injuries, the team has enough depth to achieve their goals. Many of the freshmen, sophomores and juniors will play a bigger role this year, he said. After breaking her forearm in practice earlier this year. senior Christy Denson won the team's intersquad meet with a score of 38.5 last week. The returning BigWest champion owns Utah State records on bars. floor and all-around, and is ready to compete. Seniors Trina Ewert,JessicaPorter and Marla Loweswill also add experience to the team Sophomores Kirra Degener,who scored consistently on beam and bars last year. and Stephanie Huff, a strong vault and floor competitor, are two more to watch. It might not be easy.but the team of tough competitors is prepared. "Everytime we walk out on the floor it's going to be a challenge;·Corn said. "Our biggestchallenge is developing,maturing and becoming more confident in each and every meet·

New coach, new attitude, new record. The Utah State University women's basketball dub has gone 2-2 since its coaching change in December. Ernie Rivers,the assistant coach. took over as interim coach for the club and seems to have ha~ a considerable impact. But he gives all of the credit to the players. · "They are playing more relaxed and they are having more fun," Riverssaid. "That's what a club is all about, anyway." Along with being more relaxed and having fun, the reason for the team's success is in executing the fundamentals of the game, Rivers said. The Aggies have cut down on turnovers from 25 a game to nearly 15. Rivers said USU is causing more turnovers because they are more aggressiveon the defensive end - yet another reason for the turnaround. Riverssaid his team is more aggressive on the offensiv~end, as more players are scormg. In their most recent game on Jan. 5: Utah State surpised Westminster College in Salt Lake City with a 71-61 victory. ln an earlier meeting between the two schools, Westminster upset the Aggieswith a last minute rally. But not this time. On Jan. 4, the Aggiesbattled Colorado Northwestern . Community College and came out on top 79-74. Riverssaid everyone on the t~am is getting some playing time and each player is doing well. However. since the semester started, the club has lost five players, reducing the roster size to 10 with one game remaining. Ben Wolford was added to the coaching team and is spoken of highly by Rivers. "He's been a god send. He's very positive and works well with the team," Rivers said. USU ends its season on Jan. 17.Riverssaid he is sad to see the season end, especially since the team is improving.

International

NASA spokesman Duane Brown said that if there is a significant change, the U.S. agency will look at having a Space Shuttle mission go up to the space station to do some housekeeping . "We, as an agency, certainly applaud the Russians and we are awaiting a meeting , sometime in February, when they will give an official launch date for the service module," he said. The Russians would brief NASAon Wednesday about their investigation and the direction they will take, he added. Two Proton rockets crashed shortly after launch July 5 and Oct. 27. The official investigation released by the lnterfax news agency Tuesday said the engines caught fire because they were contaminated by metal and mineral particles. While the new international station faced new delays. Russia's own Mir space station may remain in orbit for longer than earlier planned, officials

life to compensatefor Russian delays second-stage engines . The Voronezh Mechanical Works, which built the engines, promised to replace them by the end of June, he told The Associated Press. "Once the booster is ready, it takes about 45 days to prepare the module for launch. so the earliest launch time is the end of August," he said. He said the actual launch date would be pushed back even further because space officials first want to launch refurbished Protons with less-precious cargos. Gromov's statement means that the entire project likely will be thrown more than two years behind schedule. The station 's first components were launched into space in November and December 1998, but the first permanent crew may only begin its stint on the station after the crew module is put into orbit.

Anti-tobacco WASHINGTON(AP)- Antitobacco advocates on Tuesday accused Brown &lWilliamson Tobacco Corp. of violating an agreement to stop advertising to children even as the company announced a series of public forums to promote "open dialogue" about tobacco. At a news conference, advocates complained the company has placed ads in magazines like Sports Illustrated, RollingStone, Spin. Vibe and Sport - all of which have a significant readership within the age range of 12 to 17. Data from Simmons Market Research Bureau show youth readership levels of 22.5 percent for Sports Illustrated, 28 percent for Rolling Stone, 32 percent for Spin. 42 percent for Vibe and 33 percent for Sport, according to

the issues because the company's chief executive officer, Nick Brookes, was speaking before the National Press Club Tuesday. Brookes, in his remarks , defended the .company, saying the forums were not a ..gimmick..and were intended to address critics. The first forum is scheduled for this spring and will deal with producing a safer cigarette, he said. A second forum will target youth smoking and the third will discuss the growing risk of black market cigarettes. ..They are gen.uinely intended for us to have constructive engagement with our critics,.. he said. Brookes said the company has a policy not to advertise with a magazine with more than 15 percent youth readership. All of

the advocates. The groups, which include the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association, also detailed their concerns in a paid advertisement in The Washington Post Tuesday. "If Brown &lWilliamson is serious about acting responsibly, it needs to move forward with these concrete actions to reduce youth smoking," the groups wrote. "If you fail to act, your statements of concern about youth smoking can only be seen as a hollow public relations gesture rather than meaningful corporate change." Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids, said the groups have similar concerns about other tobacco companies but chose Brown &l Williamson to highlight

said. The government decided last year to discard the aging station if private investors fail to come up with funds to keep it aloft. The station has been orbiting the Earth unmanned after its last crew left in August, and it was expected that one final crew would go to the Mir to send it down around March. No major funds have been found, but Gromov said Tuesday that a two-man crew is now set to blast off for the station March 30. Their mission would last for at least 45 days. Gromov said the state-controlled Energia, which built the Mir and has been running it since its launch in February 1986, is looking to a U.S company named Golden Apple to save Mir. He declined to provide more details. If the U.S. firm backs off, Energia still hopes the government will change its mind and pour more resources into Mir, the last remaining symbol of once-glorious Soviet space program.

space station delayed again

Mir space station may yet a new lease on MOSCOW (AP)- The longdelayed International Space Station has been postponed once again due to flaws in a booster rocket. while Russia·s Mir space station may live on. space officials said Tuesday. The launch of the crucial crew compartment for the multibillion-dollar, 16-nation space station has been long behind schedule because of the Russian government·s failure to provide funds for its manufacture. Then, when the module was almost ready, two crashes of Proton booster rockets pushed officials to postpone the launch date again Tuesday. The Zvezda (Star) module is to be carried into space by a Proton . Sergei Gromov, spokesman for the Energia company that built the module. said the crashes were caused by a manufacturing flaw in the rockets'

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) - Two Bosnian Serbs who allegedly led an onslaught that killed hundreds of Muslims and Croats, and sent tens of thousands fleeing for their lives, pleaded innocent Tuesday to 12 counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity_ The case of Gen. Momir Talic and Radoslav Brdjanin comes as the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal reaps a harvest of increasingly senior Serb military commanders detained for trial. Prosecutors are aiming high for the first genocide conviction in the seven years since the international court was established_ Talic, the current Bosnian Serb military chief, and Brdjanin, a former deputy prime minister, appeared at a pretrial hearing on their joint indictment. Australian Judge David Hunt read out each of the charges, which include extermination, torture and destruction of cities, towns and religious insti-

tutions_ Talic launched into a vigorous repudiation of the tribunal's jurisdiction. "I personally feel that justice and law would be satisfied only if I were to be tried by a military court of law," he said_ Talic's attorney, Michel Pitron, played down the remarks, saying his client "reacted quite personally." The hearing was convened because prosecutors said they had evidence to warrant adding 11 new counts to tne original crimes against humanity charge posted last summer when the men were arrested. A trial date has not been set. Talic, who was detained by Austrian police while attending a conference in Vienna, is one of three senior Bosnian Serb commanders facing trial for some of the bloodiest "ethnic cleansing" campaigns of the 1992-95 war. Last month, NATO peacekeepers captured Gen. Stanislav Galic, allegedly responsible for

"safe haven" of Srebrenica, ~ was detained a year earlier by ,, NATO troops_ In total, 34 suspects, including Serbs, Croats and Muslims, are in custody at the tribunal's detention center. Talic, Galic and Krstic are considered three of the key Bosnian Serb military figures :;~. responsible for wartime strate- - } gy. Prosecutors say they reported directly to former Bosnian ~: leader Radovan Karadzic and ::J:1 his military chief, Ratko Mladic, , who remain at large. : According to the indictment, } Talic and Brdjanin planned and • ordered a terror offensive early .; : in the war that killed hundreds:! : of Muslims and Croats and -"t forced tens of thousands to flee• ~• the Prijedor and Sanski Most -- regions in northwest Bosnia.

Forbes airing anti-abortion WASHINGTON (AP)Appealing to Iowa conservatives, Steve Forbes is airing a new ad on abortion one day after he criticized front-runner George W_Bush on the issue_ The ad, which was airing Tuesday in Iowa, features three women, one of whom talks about what she felt when she saw her fetus on ultrasound. "I mean, there was my tiny child's heart beating, arms waving," she says_
