USU to receive $30.4 million BROOK Cox Staff Writer
Utah State University's Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL)has recently been selected to build a satellite instrument that will improve the way people are able to see the weather patterns around the earth. The project will be managed by NASA's Langley Research Center and USU expects to receive $30.4 million for its role in the project, according to Gail Bingham, an SOL researcher and USU biometeorologist. The mission, called Earth Observing 3, will use an instrument called GIFTS (Geostationary Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer) to study the weather in Earth's atmosphere. "This space flight demonstration will involve genuinely revolutionary measurement approaches that will have a major impact on Earth system science," said Ghassem Asrar, NASA Associate Administrator for Earth science. "The eventual incorporation of this technology on geostationary weather satellites would provide up-to-the minute information never before available on active severe weather sys-

Students check out new financial aid applications D'ARTAGNON WELLS
Staff Writer
With the start of a new year comes the season for financial aid application and the Utah State University Financial Aid Office was revved up Friday to help students. At the fourth annual Financial Aid Frenzy in the Taggart Student Center. Friday participating vendors, the Scholarship Office and the Financial Aid Office had booths set up to assist students with any questions or concerns they had concerning their individual financial needs. Judy LeCheminant. director of Financial Aid at Utah State University, said the Frenzy is held around the second week of school to help remind students that this is the time to apply or reapply for their student aid for the next year of school. It's also to keep students informed about changes made to the 2000-01 financial aid application. According to the leaflet that
accompanies the new application, changes that have been made are: • Question 28 gives instructions to students about convictions for drug offenses. • Questions 61-64 collect parents' Social Security Numbers and last names. • Questions 66 and 87 ask for the number of people in the household who are attending college. This number no longer includes parents , according to the leaflet. In the current application there are two forms that need to be filled out: the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)and the Verification Application (VAPP).The FAFSA needs to be filled out and sent with the envelope provided. The VAPPneeds to be filled out and returned to the Financial Aid Office on campus to verify the information provided to the federal government. During the Frenzy, the Financial Aid Office had slide projector presentations with
Drunk driver sentenced to up to I 5 years in prison SALTLAKE CITY (AP) - The drunken driver who caused a multi-car crash that resulted in the death of a 4-month-old baby has been sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. Jesus Ramirez-Gatica, 36, was sentenced Dec. 20 to three consecutive terms of up to five years in prison for driving into a traffic jam on Interstate 15, setting off a chain reaction of collisions on Feb. 27. Ramirez-Gatica was driving 70 mph and had a blood alcohol level of
0.27, more than three times the legal limit in Utah. In sentencing Ramirez-Gatica, 3rd District Judge Roger Livingston doled out the maximum penalty allowed by law. The crash killed Matthew Affleck, who was sitting in the back seat of his parents' Honda. Ramirez-Gatica plead ed guilty in October 1999 to automobile homicide and two counts of driving under the influence, all third-degree felonies.

useful FAFSAinformation for students. According to the projection, some common mistakes have to do with making sure the following information is filled out correctly in applications: • Ensuring the name on applications matches the name on the aµplicant's Social Security card. • Entering the date of birth rather than the current date in its proper field. • Sign all applicable areas of the application. Negligence in any of these areas may delay application processing by two to four weeks, according to information provided at the Frenzy. It is also a good idea to send applications in early. Early applicants have a greater chance for supplemental grants. work-study and Perkins loans, LeCheminant said. FAFSAapplications can be filled out on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov to save two to four weeks processing time.

SALTLAKECITY (AP)- A loophole in Utah law makes it impossible for a victim to get a restraining order against a stalker if the two did not live together first. On Tuesday, a House committee gave its approval to bill by Rep. Lawanna Shurtliff, DWeber, that would close that hole. Shurtliff says the bill appears to have broad support and expects a smooth road toward approval. But the bill won't become law soon enough for Michelle Reilly. Last year Reilly was harassed by an ex-boyfriend, Michael VanGerven. VanGerven began making threatening phone calls, which soon developed into death threats . Then, on Jan. 22, 1999, VanGerven broke into her parents' Cottonwood Heights home. Michelle Reilly escaped out the back door, but VanGerven took her mother, Renee, and father, John, hostage. He shot them both in the back of the head before escaping. John Reilly was killed instantly. The other bullet ricocheted off Renee Reilly's skull. shattering her jaw but sparing her life. VanGerven shot and killed himself the next day. "There was no sign of him
a
being unstable, but when he called and threatened my life I took it very seriously and it was hard for me that nobody else did," said Reilly after Tuesday's hearing Reilly had gone to police seeking help and was told all she could pursue was a claim of telephone harassment. "Because she had not cohabitated with her boyfriend, she could not get a protective order," said Shurtliff. "A life could have been saved if this law had been in place." Shurtliff said she began work on the bill two years ago. Last year it passed both chambers of the Legislature, but House lawmakers didn't make the bill a funding priority and it died because of its $102,000 price tag. This year, Shurtliff included a $75 fee to file for a protective order, dropping the cost to $51000. The House Judiciary Committee gave its unanimous approval to the bill, which will move to the full House for consideration . Meantime, Renee Reilly still is undergoing reconstructive surgery and the family is deal ing with the trauma of the event, said Michelle Reilly. "We're slowly getting it back together," she said.
Executive Council to propose $2 fee increase to Board of Regeants DOUG SMEATH
Senior News Writer
The Associated Students of Utah State University Executive Council will propose a $2 student fee increase today to the .Student Fee Board. The Board, chaired by ASUSU Student Advocate Matt Malouf, is made up of various elected ASUSU officials, students and USU Assistant Vice President of Student Services Gary Chambers. The Board decides which fees to approve and then makes its recommendation to USU President George H. Emert. He then submits his recommendation to the State Board of Regents and the State Board of Trustees, both of which usually approve the recommendation, ASUSU President Nate Anderson said. Each year. the Board gets about $20 or $30 in fee applications, Anderson said. They usually approve about $5 of that, he said. Anderson said fees usually increase in proportion to tuition increase. Because of this year's tuition increase, Anderson said fees should increase about 3 percent. "That's not set in stone, but that's just a general guideline: Anderson said. The council voted to recommend a $ 2 fee increase for upcoming semesters. The recommendation was based primarily on discrepancies between building and maintenance funding and student activity funding. Anderson said a past fee allocation was to be split in half, with 50 percent going to building and maintenance and 50 percent to activi ties . Anderson said over time the proportions came closer to 90 percent for activities and 10 percent for building. Anderson said Chambers has requested an increase in student fees to equalize the funding without cutting the activities budget. He said a $1.25 increase

> Israel talksaboutHoloc aust-era banking JERUSALEM(AP) - Israel will publish a list of 1,000 unclaimed bank accounts from the Holocaust era in an effort to help survivors and their heirs recover assets. The dormant accounts, none conta ining more than the equiva lent of abo ut $150, have been held by the state for over 50 years, Custod ian General Shmuel Tsur told reporters on Tuesday. Some 14.000 bank accounts and other types of assets held by the government, worth about $58 million, however, will not be released for another year, Tsur said. He said it will take that long to examine the files, of which 7,900 are presumed to belong to Holocaust victims. The announcement comes just days after Israel's largest bank, Bank Leumi, posted thousands of its dormant accounts dating back to World War II on the Internet. Yoram Dori, spokesman for the World Jewish Restitution Organization. which is fighting to restore Holocaust-era property in 23 countries, called the announcement "an important step in the right direction." In the uncertain days leading up to and during the war. European Jews deposited assets in banks in British-mandated Palestine to protect their property from Nazi confiscation . At the outbreak of World War II, Britain issued a "Trading with the Enemy Order" freezing the assets of people living in Germany or Nazi-occupied countries. After the war, several thousand accounts remained unclaimed - mostly, it is presumed, because their owners were among the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. With the birth of the state of Israel in 1948; the accounts were transferred to Israel's Finance Ministry and later to the General Custodian for Wards, which handles unclaimed assets. The 1,000. accounts will be posted on the Internet within two or three months, Tsur said. .. He said the government is pressing Israeli banks to release information on unclaimed accounts they ho1J, estimated to be worth $15 million.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - In an editorial published Tuesday in a medica l journal. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright defended the effects of economic embargoes on public health.

"There would be no better route to greater prosperity and improved public hea lth in Cuba than a government that was accountable to its people," Albright said in the Annals of Internal Medicine, published in Philadelphia.

Stansfield Turner is being treated at Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio after a weekend plane crash in Costa Rica that killed his wife, a family spokesman said Tuesday. Turner's condition is listed as "critical but stable," said the spokesman, Charles Battaglia . "He's doing a little better today," Battaglia said. He said Turner remains in an "induced coma" to remove pressure from broken ribs. There has been no decision yet on surgery, Battaglia said. Turner was flown from Costa Rica to Texas on Monday aboard a private air ambulance. Turner, 76, is a retired admiral who served as CIA director under President Carter between 1977 and 1981. Turner's wife, Eli Karen, died in the accident Saturday along with three other passengers .

PORT HURON, Mich. (AP)-A jury on Tuesday acquitted a 14year-old boy charged with hatching an elaborate plan with three other boys to steal guns, lure students to their school gym and open fire on people they didn't like. Daniel Fick was found innocent of conspiracy to commit murder. Fick,who was 13 at the time of his arrest. was the only one of the four Holland Woods Middle School students to face trial. Charges against one boy were dropped: the other two accepted plea bargains that will keep them out of jail. . "I respect the jury's decision,"prosecutor Mike Wendling said. 'They had the hardest job of anyone." A message left for Fick'slawyer, Steven Guilliat. was not returned . Prosecutors said the boys wanted to outdo the April massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo.. in which two students killed 13 people before turning their guns on themselves. Fick told the Times Herald of Port Huron in an interview Friday that he and his friends "said some stupid stuff" but weren't serious about planning to shoot and bomb fellow classmates at their school.

"If we raise funds to (buy) computers and textbooks, that lets the Legislature off the hook to fully fund them," she said Friday. "When we go to the Legislature and say, 'Everybody across the state is not equal in technology opportunities,' they respond 'As long as we have rich parents on whatever side (of the valley), we won't do it."' The inequity between rich and poorer schools and districts continues to be a problem, educators and advocates say. Schools with well-to-do parents and those near business communities raise more money and buy better equipment and supplies. Eight years ago, well-off school patrons even saved the jobs of two teachers at lndian Hills Elementary on Salt Lake's east bench.

The Salt Lake City district last week proposed curtailing elementary school fund-raisers. and the Davis district recently limited the number of organizations that can solicit its employees.

The U.S.government could be in a precarious situation. according to Patrick Shea, deputy to Bruce Babbitt of the U.S.Department of the Interior, who spoke to students Tuesday afternoon. He said the demographics of federal workers have been skewed. Some of the most able and talented people, he said, have left the federal government due to budget battles. Now, Shea said, the government is left with a plateau of workers - few people who have been there more than 10 years as well as few people who have been there for more than 25. "Youget what you pay for."he said. "I'm not sure if we're paying enough." Another challenge Shea mentioned was to find a way through Congress to allow multi-year budgets for federal land managers .. "Land doesn't typically operate on a normal fiscal year - especially when it starts in January," Shea said.

Students favor book exchange in order to make more on textbook sales DEBBIELAM&
Staff Writer
These days it is not just who you know that matters. Since the beginning of the semester it is who you know that wants to buy your book or sell a book to you that matters. Students wait in a bookstore hoping that the unknowing soul wilt come and pick up the book they want to sell. Others list their books on the Internet either by the book exchange or some other form hoping that students will see the book they need and want to buy it. Of course this is not something illegal. like selling drugs. In this s.ituation, everyone invo1vedcomes out the winner. "Buying my books from friends is a better deal for both of us. because I pay less than the bookstore and she gets back more than the bookstore would give.~Stephanie Lake, a senior in communicative disorders said. · Students who sell their books to friends feel that it benefits them because they make a profit. And when they buy their books
from friends they usually do not ha.Veto pay as much as it costs at a bookstore. "I sell my books to other students to get money ... money, money, money; said Tim Waters a recent Family Human Development graduate of Utah State University. "The people who buy the books back for the bookstore rip you off. You get a better deal than the bookstore, hopefully, if they're good friends. I would say the best way to do it now is on the Internet." Students probably sell their books to their friends for a number of reasons, one being if the book is not being used next semester the book will have no value. said Amy Ohms, the manager over textbooks in the Utah State University Bookstore. People will sell the book to a friend who thinks they will need it sometime, Ohms said, ·1 just kept my books." Waters said. ·1 knew people that were in my major who had to take the class so l just said 'hey do you want to buy my book? A lot of people knew J was in fHD and they would come to me and ask if I took a class. Then they would ask if they could buy my books.~ "Maybe 5 percent of the student body sells their books to their

friends; Ohms said. "The greatest book exchange in the whole country is from student to student. Our online book exchange that we work with ASUSU is pretty huge but it is nothing compared to student-to-student exchange. Across the whole country it is the largest book exchange ever, just friends to friends. lt is a big thing we take into consideration when we order books." The book exchange is a free service provided for any student who wants to sell or buy a book. Ohms said. Students can go in and put a book for sale or buy books, she continued. The Internet address for the book exchange is http:/ /hal. tsc.usu.edu/f extbooks/ exchange.html ·students get more money if they sell the book back to the bookstore at the end of the term before it is being used again," Ohms said. "The first week of the term we have already had to get everything we need for students who were coming to class on the first day." So if you plan to sell your books back to the bookstore at the end of the semester or plan to sell them to a friend, what matters most in this is who you know that wants to buy or sell the book and how much they are willing to pay, or accept, for it.

Keeping the flames of memory

Last night the windows of the Sunburst Lounge at Utah State University reflected the glow of candles lit in memory of people who have made contributions to the American Civil Rights movement. The lighting of the candles held by audience members was the finale of the candlelight vigil sponsored by USU's Black Student Union. · The club's president, Brent Miller, said the BSU sponsors the annual event because they believe it is important to "remember the people who have made a difference in our past." "Without those people we wouldn't be where we are today," Miller said. In his welcome address to the vigil, Miller reviewed the life and accomplishments of Martin Luther King. He then lit the first candle of the evening in memory of King. Miller was followed by the other officers of the BSU in paying tribute to and lighting candles for significant figures in human rights history After Miller lit a candle for King, candles were lit for Medgar Evers, Jackie Robinson and Dr. Charles Drew. King and Evers were honored for their work in bring about awareness of the need for human rights legislation. Robinson was the first black baseball player in this country and was honored for his role in opening the world of professional sports to African-Americans. Drew is noted for his research in the field of plasma storage and blood transfusions. Drew died following an accident due to the refusal of medical treatment in a segregated community. The BSU officers were followed by guest speakers Michael Nicholls and Ross Peterson, both history professors at USU. Nicholls told the story of Phene Phillips, one of the unsung heroes of civil rights. Phillips was a slave who sued for her freedom in the late eighteenth century. She died before her case was settled, but all three of her children later won their freedom thanks to the work of their mother. Nicholls said he chose Phillips as representative of those brave individuals who brought suit for their own freedom. As he lit a candle in honor of Phillips, Nicholls oraised her for tecosmizim: when

Fred Peterson studied with an emphasis in Black Studies while he was a student at USU and plans to continue the family tradition of attending the candle light vigils with his own children.
to "seize the moment," a concept Nicholls said was also recognized by great leaders like King. Peterson lit his memorial candle for Mignon Barker Richmond, who was the first black student at USU. Peterson explained that Richmond entered USU in 1919, a volatile year in United States history. She graduated from USU and later received her master's degree from the University of Utah. Peterson pointed out that education was the- key that opened doors for Richmond and for most of the other people honored at the vigil. Peterson concluded his remarks by telling his hearers the memory of these great people should push them to action. "Our time is now," Peterson said. "We need to do all we can to change our world."

Everything is possible for Heather Mason. The Idaho native came to Utah State University after seeing the campus only once. In 1996 she left Logan for the bright lights, warm weather and nearby beaches of Hollywood, Calif with Aggie pride, and experiences she said.only USU could provide. • Now the 1996 USU Communication department graduate is extending Hollywood to 12 USU communication students. The students will join Mason in launthing ShowBIZ Data, a Los Angeles-based online entertainment company, at the Sundance Film Festival Thursday through Jan. 30, in Park City. USU students will have the opportunity to act as hosts in ShowBIZData's Interactive Lounge Mason calls "an entire virtual technology wonderland." Mason said she came to USU for high caliber students. "I know you can trust Utah State to put out leaders to get the job done," Mason said. "I know where to go for the best university communication students in Utah." Mason herself never planned on coming to USU until her morn told her about the leadership scholarships USU offers. With "cabin fever,"Mason said she was ready to venture out of Idaho and apply for the Presidents Leadership Scholarship {PLC).In 1991 she interviewed for, and received the scholarship.
"I had never seen the campus in my life, but that gayI became an Aggie,"Mason said. "It was one of the best things I ever did. I love PLC. It's the greatest thing that ever happened to me· Mason said she could not have accomplished what she has in her career without USU's preparation, and USU leaders like Gary Chambers, assistant vice president for student life. "(Chambers) is by far the best leader I've ever met. He is one of my idols in life,"she said. At USU Mason served as ASUSUArts and Lectures vice president, Statesman senior features writer, and played on the womens' soccer team. In 1996 she was named USU Woman of the Year. "The leadership training and opportunities Utah State allows its students is unparalleled," Mason said. "I made mistakes here in an environment that would pick me up. The real world isn't that kind." Also at USU, ea.ch winter quarter Mason worked during the Sundance Film Festival. After these experiences she knew Hollywood was where she wanted to be. "Sundance changed my life," she said. Mason hopes to offer USU students the same opportunity. "I think this {Sundance) is the gateway to work in the entertainment industry," she said. After Sundance, Mason worked at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Ga. and later as program director for the American Pavilion Hospitality Cente·r at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France.
Following these ex.I?eriences, Mason wanted to work in film, distribution. She landed a job at Fox 2000 on the .studio lot as assistant to the vice president. While there, films such as Anna and the King, and The Thin Red Line were being produced. From there she moved to television production, working on the series "PacificBlue" as script editor. Currently Mason is in the process of setting up a project at Universal Studios. Now, as ShowBIZ Data's vice president of sales and marketing, Mason is exploring the fast-paced Internet world. "I basically kept going through forms of media until I found one that's fast enough for me. It's a,n exciting time to be in the work force," Mason said. In the future she said she expects to be involved in entertainment and definitely involved with the Internet. She even considers returning to USU. "I would like to come back to academia because I had such a good experience," Mason said. After these experiences, what words of advice can Mason offer her fellow Aggies? "Having an attitude of everything is possible. Whatever you want to do you can do it. Never tell your boss you can't" she said. Stay tuned aspiring Hollywood hopefuls - Heather Mason could be bringing the bright lights of Hollywood to USU soon. ShowBIZand Mason might be searching for USU students for next year's Sundance Film Festival. "We'll probably be crazy enough to try this again next year," she said.

Veteran affairs suffer at hands of mismanaged government offices WASHINGTON(AP)- The government office handling congressional inquiries on behalf.of veterans operated "in an atmosphere of total chaos" and often didn't respond to lawmakers for months, the Veterans Affairs Department's inspector general reports. The blistering audit blames the former Office of Congressional Affairs director, Sheila Clarke Mccready, for causing a "high degree of mistrust" among the staff and doling out improper raises to consultants who were empowered to make management decisions. Ms. Mccready, who earns $130,200a year, was transferred from the Office of Congressional Affairsbut still holds a management position as a special assis-

Veterans less likely to be incarcerated WASHINGTON (AP)- One of the best waysto stay out of jail may be to join the military,according to a governmentstudy released Tuesday.Male militaryveterans have less than half the rate of incarcerationthan those who have never servedin the armed forces, accordingto the study from theBureau of JusticeStatistics,a divisionof the JusticeDepartment. An average937 maleveterans are in jail or prison per 100,000 veteran residents,comparedto an average1,971men incarceratedper 100,000non-veterans. The study focusedsolelyon men, who comprise95 percent of the nation'sveteransand was based on interviewswith selected inmates on their military,criminal and personalbackgrounds. Though the report indicated that veteransare less likelyto go to jail or prison,the same statistics showveteranswho are imprisoned are more likelythan the non-veteran inmates to have committedvio-
tant to the department's undersecretary for health. She did not respond to messages seeking comment on the report. The congressional affairs office links the department to Americans who contact their home state lawmakers about veterans benefits and the condition of the health care system. John Hanson, a spokesman for the department, said Tuesday the congressional affairs office receives 30 to 50 inquiries a week from members of Congress and their staff with questions such as whether a hospital is going to close, how a constituent can get a job with the Veterans department, or complaints about long waits to see a doctor.

lent crimes.Roughly35 percent of the veterans surveyedin state prisons had been convictedof homicide or sexualassault.comparedto 20 percent of the rest of the inmate population,said the study. Amongstate prisonerssentenced for violentcrimes,the average sentence of veteranswas 50 months longerthan that of the averagenon-veteran,the study said.Participantswere designated as veteranswhether or not they actuallywere engagedin combat. In other words,a veteran was definedas a male who servedin the militaryduring the period of a war or conflict,such as during the Vietnamera. Veteranswho saw combatduring their servicehad lessserious criminalhistoriesthan other veterans, accordingto the report. And half of the incarceratedveterans in the study had servedduring a period of wartime;35 percentwere Vietnam-eraveteransand 12 percent were GulfWar-eraveterans.

China cracks downon endangered species trade BEIJING(AP)- Four southern Chinese provinceshave launched a campaign to crack down on the thriving illegaltrade in endangered species,many of which end up on restaurant dinner plates. The operation, which began Saturday,has led to the rescue of 13,309animals or other endangered creatures,4,178of which were listed on China's protected specieslist, state-run media reported Tuesday. "Let'snot let mankind's friends suffer any more," said a headline in the LegalDaily. The 10-daycampaign involves forestry,customs,police and airline officialsin Guangdong, Guangxi,Fujian and Yunnan provinces,areas known for their lush vegetation,abundant wildlife,and cuisines that often feature exotic species. China has belatedly begun beefing up its enforcement of laws against poaching. For example, on Jan. 1, it closed the Hoh Xii Nature Reservein the far west
to protect an endangered species of antelope prized for its fine fur, which is used to make shahtoosh shawls. The latest campaign followed an earlier one to try to prevent poaching of the antelope in the Hoh Xiireserve, which spans parts of Qinghai, Xinjiangand Tibet. On Monday,reports said that in the previous 20 days, police had arrested 10 poachers and confiscated700 fur pelts, plus rifles and jeeps in the reserve. Their natural habitat destroyed by rapid economic development and intensive agriculture and forestry,a number of speciesare on the verge of extinction. The South China tiger,the YangtzeRiverdolphin and most notably the giant panda are among the most endangered. But other less wellknown snakes,lizards and birds also are widelyhunted and sold to restaurants.

Kohl resigns from party post . after a slush-fund scandal
WWW.statea■a.e61 He's got spirit. Do you?
BERLlN(AP)- Helmut Kohl resignedTuesday as honorary chairman of the Christian Democratic Union, brought down by a campaign financing scandal that now marks the stunning denouement of one of Europe's most respected statesmen and the man who reunited Germany. Kohl gave up the influential post rather than capitulate to demands that he identify donors who made illegalcampaign contributions and help clear up a scandal that threatens to ruin the party. Kohl'ssingle-handed leadership facilitatedGermany's swiftreunification in 1990. He also tolerated no dissent, and finally ceded influence in the party he tightly controlled during 25 years as chair-

Kohl name names to save the party - something Kohl flatly refused to do even when fellow conservativesinsisted it would end speculation that anonymous donations were tied to political favors. "I cannot bring myself to break the promise I made to severalpersonalities who financiallysupported my work in the CDU,"Kohl said in the statement. "The decision to resign the honorary chairmanship was not easy for me," he said. "I have been a Christian Democratic Union member for 50 years. It was and is my political home." Kohl retains his seat in parliament, which will make prosecuting him for irregularities more complicated by requiring a parliament
vote to lift his immunity. The resignation ended the power struggle in the party, with Kohl the loser.Schaeuble said the party had asked him to stay on and clear up the scandal, despite grumbling by some party members that he, too, was tainted and should step down. The governing Social Democra,tsand Greens charged that the opposition had forfeited the chance to deal with the crisis head on. "The decisions of the Christian Democrats have neither cleared up anything nor led to a selfcleansing,"said Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. Foreign Minister Joschka

CHICAGO(AP)- When Pat Shapley taught advanced organic chemistry the traditional way,she often found herself looking into a sea of blank stares - or no stares at all. ''I'd have a lecture hall full of students, most of whom were sleeping or eating Cheerios," the Universityof Illinoisprofessor said Tuesday. "No one ever asked questions." That all changed, Shapley said, when she put her course on the lnternet. Suddenly shy students were piping up with questions, and class members were excited to learn at their own pace.

NEVER BEHIND/ Aaron Morton Defense, defense, defense. U t a h S t a t e University basketba 11 team head coach Stew Morrill is constantly talking about defense. Usually, the post-game interviews with Morri11are pretty routine. Before anyone asks any questions, he gives his analysis of the game. And so far this season, he has almost without exception - started out talking about the Aggie defense. Some examples: "We need to get a whole lot better defensively if we're going to have a chance to compete in the Big West," he said after the Brigham Young University loss. USU needs to play 40 minutes of solid defensive basketball, he has said with other variations throughout the season. , "We'v.Hbeen harping and harping about defensive effort and consistency," Morrill said after Saturday's game against University of California at Irvine. Super-sub Curtis Bobb concurs. "We worked hard in practice on defense. Coach always says, 'Once our defense clicks, our offense will come."' On Saturday night, the offense did come. The 81-46 blow out is the largest win over a BWC opponent since 1997. "(Saturday) our defense got our offense going," Morrill said. , USU's 12 steals and four official blocks (I counted at least seven) not only jump-started the Aggie fast break, it focused the team on their half-court offense as well. The team shot a blazing 55 percent from the field while the Anteaters were muzzled to a miserable 36 percent. A major reason for the Aggie shooting percentage might be the 12 points off fast breaks that came from forced turnovers. And they came at key times during the game. With about seven minutes left in the first half, USU held a shaky 2118 lead. Defense led to fast breaks that led to a Troy Rolle spinning lay-up and a Bobb dunk and the foul. The lead was extended to eight and the Aggies never looked back. Saturday's game was a good example of how the USU defense, while very good this year, has increasingly gottten better - good enough to the point that the Aggies played almost the whole game in a man-to-man defense. "We're starting to play man-toman really hard," Bobb said. Irvine's 46 points was the lowest point total USU's defense has allowed this season, and that is pretty impressive considering the team's statistics this season. The Aggies have allowed only 62.1 points per game. Since the 1957-58 season, only the 1996-97 team allowed fewer points, as they allowed 61.4 points per game that season. In addition, USU is holding its opponents to a poor 42 percent from the field - that is the secondlowest percentage in ·the last 22 years. And it all starts in practice, Bobb said. "We're always after each other in practice," he said.

SALTLAKECITY - Battling the fifth-ranked University of Utah in Salt Lake City Friday night, the Utah State University gymnastics team expected some tough competition and a big crowd. What they weren't expecting was the addition of two more names to the injury list. Freshmen Kristen Bloom injured her shoulder while warming up for the vault and Tina Ellis injured her ankle during floor warmups when she landed on it wrong. Bloom did not compete and Ellis sat out the floor event in preparation for the beam. They were both scheduled to compete in the allaround. USU was already competing
without one of last year's top scorers, junior Jessenia Abrego, internationally experienced freshman Nicole Kilpatrick. and Allison Rosenthal. · Utah State's third allarounder, Christy Denson, had only trained for about three weeks after sustaining a fractured forearm, That didn't prevent Denson from leading USU on bars and floor, scoring 9.825 on both events. Denson·s 38.700 all-around score placed her fourth, behind two Utah all-Americans and the defending natiQnal ·champion Theresa Kulikowski. Kulikowski won the meet with a score of 39.400, but that wasn't enough to satisfy Utah head coach Greg Marsden. The Utes won the meet with a score of 195.650, compared to Utah State's 190.375, and cap-
tured the top three all-around spots. Mardsen was dissatisfied with his teams performance on the balance beam. Wobbles and falls characterized the performances of both teams on the precarious event. Kulikowski won the event with a score of 9.825, but said the event was "shaky." The Utes had two competitors fall, and a third nearly fell. . "We have to turn that event around from what was obviously our worst event, and make it our best event, or we're gonna be sitting in the stands watching everyone else again," Marsden said, referring to the NCAA nationals, where last year the Utes failed to advance to the finals .

"We really wanted to see where each athlete was," said head coach Greg Gensel. ·our team did a great job in their first competition." The Aggies had 24 men and 27 women beat their personal record. "We had some good quality competition this weekend," Gensel said. "Nothing beyond us. It was just good to see how everyone would perform." Other schools who attended the Open were Brigham Young University, Utah Valley State College, Idaho State University and Weber State University. Some of the top finishes for the men include Brad Reed, a senior, who placed second in the weight throw with a toss of 53 feet 5.5 inches. Senior Lawrence Ringwald just missed his personal record in the 60 meters, finishing with a time of 7:01. Josh Sides placed fourth in the shot put with a throw of 54 feet 7 inches. "Josh is one of the best freshmen shot putters that I have seen in a long time," Gensel said. "He did a great job on Saturday." For the women, Rebecka
Thornley finished second in the mile with her season best time of 5:04:90. Danielle Kot in the 60 meter race and Kristen Hoffman in the high jump each earned third place finishes for the Aggies.

MELBOURNE,Australia (AP)Looking lost, worried and terribly tired, Serena Williams turned to her mother in the stands as if seeking a shoulder to lean on. Oracene Williams could do no more than stare back glumly and helplessly, her chin on her hands. They had flown 20 hours from Florida to the Australian Open. arriving jet-lagged just four days before Tuesday night's first-round match. Serena hadn't played a match in three months, her back hurt from a lingering injury and her legs felt dead. And now an unknown, an Australian wild card playing in her first major tournament, No. 261 Amanda Grahame, stood across the net - two games from sending the U.S. Open champion and her mother/coach right back home. Somehow, the third-seeded Williams summoned the strength to serve out the next game at love. then break Grahame on the third match-point to win 6-4, 4-6. 6-4. It was a two-hour test of endurance and will that began in muggy heat and ended, after a half-hour rain delay in the second set. under the center court's retractable roof. "I can·t picture myself losing until the last point is over and I'm shaking her hand, thinking, ·1can't believe it,"' the 18-year-old Williams said.

and 4-9 overall. "That's what we have to do: Rolle said. ·we have to take this on the road. Our biggest thing right now is the road. That's what we're concentrating on." Morrill agreed. ·1 think the thing that we have to try and do is be a little bit more emotionally ready on the road," he said. "If you saw us Saturday night, we were emotionally excited, aggressive and ready to play basketball. We can play with everybody on our schedule if we're like we were Saturday night." UCSB comes into the game on a two-game losing streak after losses at the University of North Texas on Thursday (7467) and New Mexico State University on Saturday (76-61). Before that, the Gauchos had won two in a row. Still. Morrill isn't counting on an easy victory for the Aggies. "They're physical," Morrill said. "They're, right now, the best defensive team in the league. They're holding people to 38 percent, which is phenomenal. They make it very hard for you to score." In a meeting with UCSB at the Big West Conference Tournament in Reno, Nev., Utah State shot just 43 percent in the game. The low shooting percentage resulted in a 75-74 loss to the Gauchos. Morrill said another concern the Aggies have about the Gauchos is their fast break. "They hurt us bad last year in transition," Morrill said. "(It) is like, zoom, and they were gone on a turnover, or sometimes on missed shots they · were just laying it up at the other end, so that's something we·re concerned about and working on." Leading the way for UCSB this year are senior guard Erick Ashe, who averages 11.8 rebounds per game. and junior forward Adama Ndiaye at 9.2 a game. This will be the 49th meeting between the two schools with USU leading the series, 27-21. Utah State will take on Cal Poly (0-2, 5-9) Saturday in San Luis Obispo. The Aggies are 4-0 lifetime against the Mustangs. Each game will tip-off at 8 p.m. MST

Assistant Sports Editor
With the fall 2000 football schedule out of the way, Utah State University Athletic Director Rance Pugmire looks toward the 2001 and 2002 seasons. Without the standard conference opponents, USU will have a tough time filling those schedules - especially later in the season. So far for early 2001, Pugmire has signed the University of Utah, the University of Wyoming: Louisiana State University, Weber State University and pos-
, sibly Fresno State University. Pugmire said he is.esp,.ecially • excited aboei1the WSU home game, the LSU game and the home game with Wyoming. His goals for future schedules are to play regional teams and the occasional Eastern powerhouse school like LSU. 'That's the kind of game (players) will remember," Pugmire said. Don't look for Division II teams, Pugmire said. With the exception of 2000 season and the Weber State game in 2001 the first in almost two decades - USU will not be playing Div.

Despite the final score,the Utah State Universitywomens basketballclub considerstheir last game a successfulone. On Monday,the Aggiestraveled to the upper left corner of Colorado to take on the Spartans from Colorado Northwestern Community College.The entire game was back and forth, but the CNCC Spartans stole the lead with 10 minutes left and never looked back for a final "high"score of 97-82.It was the club's second loss to the Spartans this season. This was their third meeting this season, so interim coach Ernie Rivershad a good idea on how to successfullyplay against this team. He decided to play in a box-and-one (a zone defense with four players and one playing man-on-man) on the defensive end because,in their previous meetings,the Spartans shot very well from the 3-point line. The box-and-one worked for a while,but once the Aggies stopped the key players from CNCC:,the other Spartans stepped up and it was too much for USUto handle, Rivers said. The lead went back and forth many times. lt was a high scoring game because it was so fast-pacedwith many breakawaysand quick shots with little offensiveplays. "lt was a track meet,"Rivers said. ·1 don't think the shot
clockwent under 15 seconds more than three times." Riversattributes this fastpaced game to the pressure defense used by both teams. CNCC and USUwere equally aggressiveon the defensiveand offensiveends. Although they lost, the Aggiesoutplayed the Spartans on the stat sheet. They shot 44 percent from the floor versus CNCC's37 percent. They outrebounded them, caused more turnovers and they had more steals than CNCC. However,there was quite a discrepancyat the line. The Spartans shot 26 more free throws than the Aggies. "We outplayed them in every aspect of the game, but they shot a lot more free throws than we did,"Rivers said. Everyoneon the team got at least 16 minutes of playing time. And surprisingly,all but three of the girls shot more than 50 percent from the field. Alsothree playersscored in double figuresat Monday's game: ChalyceStevenshad 22, Heather Henderson contributed 13, and Chantelle Hiatt put in a career-high 14 points on 4-6 from three-point land. Riverswas pleased with the team's efforts on Monday and thought the season ended on a good note. "Theyplayed well as a team this game and it was a fun trip for everyone,"Riverssaid.
smooth beam routine started the Aggies off well with a score of 9.75, but no other Aggies were able to match her score. Falls in three routines, combined with missing requirements, forced USU to count two sub 9.00 performances. The meet showcased many first time competitors for Utah State, many of whom weren't told they were competing until \twas just about time to shed their warm up clothes and perform. Sophomore Stephanie Huff performed on floor and vault throughout last year. Besides leading the team on vault and earning a 9.725 on floor, Huff made her beam debut Friday night, earning USU's third-highest beam score of the evening. Difficult combination skills and a fluid routine earned freshman Kelcy Wathen a 9.8 on bars. Sophomore Laura Swank, who was out last season recovering from knee surgery, competed a yurochenko vault for the_first time in her career. The floor exercise featured even more young athletes. USU's lineup included just five gymnasts, three of whom were first time competitors on the event. Without the luxury of a sixth performer. all five scores counted. Swank was first up, followed by senior Trina Ewart, and freshman Erin Maguire. Despite lack of collegiate experience on the event. all three turned in strong performances. Maguire had spent the last few years in trampoline and tumbling, but adjusted fine to the new atmosphere, opening the
event with a double layout. "This is her first gymnastics meet in three years, said head coach Ray Corn. ·1 thought she did a great job throwing that double layout." The Aggies are confident they will improve as they become both healthy and more experienced. With five athletes on the sidelines, the team probably won't reach its full potential until late February or early March, Corn said. "We're gonna learn from this," Corn said. "We'll be better in two weeks than we were tonight, and we'll improve each week."

LONDON (AP}- It was a case that captured headlines: A man who had repeatedly beaten his 9-year-old stepson with a cane walked free by employing the Victorian-era defense of "reasonable chastisement." On Tuesday, the British government moved to tighten the 1861 law, unveiling proposals that would bar parents from spanking their offspring with anything but their hands or smacking a child's head, eyes or ears. The measures - ordained by a 1998 European Court of Human Rights ruling that the beaten boy's rights had been violated - mirror a European trend of placing limits on corporal punishment. Spanking is banned in Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and Germany's parliament is-considering a bill that entitles chil~ dren to a "violence-free upbringing." "We understand the importance of encouraging non-physical methods of discipline when parents are bringing up their children," British health minister John Hutton said in announcing the proposed amendments. "Good parenting is vital," he added. "But it can be a demanding job." Victorian novels such as Charles Dickens' "David Copperfield" are rife with tales of children being beaten and caned, sometimes until bloody. In books, and in life, it once was not uncommon for British children to then be forced to offer thanks for the thrashing. Such punishments lingered on in Britain for decades, in varying degrees, even in such uppeHrust private schools as Eton, Not until 1986 did Parliament outlaw corporal punishment in Britain's public schools, and the practice wasn't banned in private schools until 12 years later. Under the current law governing parental discipline, any parent or guardian may claim "reasonable chastisement" if accused in court of physicallyhc;1rmi1}.g a child.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Spin City" star Michael J_Fox said Tuesday he is leaving the ABC sitcom, but not show business. because of his fight against Parkinson's disease. Fox, who revealed in 1998 that he suffers from the degenerative neurological disorder that affects movement. said this will be his last season with the highly rated series. "I could not be more proud of the show ... and all that we have accomplished over the last four years, yet I feel that right now my time and energy would be better spent with my family and working toward a cure for Parkinson's disease," the 38year-old actor said. "This does not mean I am retiring from acting, producing or directing, only that I want to relieve the strain of producing and performing a weekly network series," he said in a statement. ABC, which had no com·ment on the show's future, called
"Spin City" a "labor of love" for Fox. "Clearly there are more important things in life and we wish Michael and his family our heartfelt thanks and support," the network said. "We look forward to working with Michael in his future endeavors." Fox, who is up for a Golden Globe award Sunday. plays a hard-charging deputy mayor on the series now in its fourth year, His co-stars include Barry Bostwick and Heather Locklear, who joined the cast this season. The former star of the sitcom Family Ties and the Back to the Future movies told of his
incurable illness in the December 1998 issue of People magazine. He decided to reveal his affliction because he thought he could help his family and other sufferers of the disease. Fox has three children, a son and twin daughters, with actress Tracy Pollan. In 1991, Fox noticed a "twitch" in the little finger on his left hand while on the set of the film Doc Hollywood Although a doctor told him he could function for many years, the disease progressed and he suffered stiffness in his entire left side and violent tremors.

NEW YORK (AP)-A delivery service that made cocaine "as easy to order as pizza" led to the indictment of 10 men accused of catering their drug trade to upper-class professionals in prime Manhattan neighborhoods. "Cocaine distribution and use is destructive of society, especially when it becomes as easy to order as pizza," US. Attorney Mary Jo White said in a statement Hundreds of names, addresses and telephone numbers of customers in numerous residential buildings on the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, Chelsea and Soho were listed with the service, authorities said. The organization also allegedly delivered to restaurants and bars. Most of the deliveries were in small amounts ranging from half a gram to 3 grams, courtpapers showed. After an order was placed. a delivery person posing as a livery cab driver would meet the customer at a prearranged location. sometimes the residence of the customer, according to the indictment. Marvin Smilon, a spokesman for White, wouldn't comment on whether prosecutors were pursuing the customers but said the investigation is continuing. Two of the defendants were being held without bail. Two others were awaiting court appearances and the others had not yet been arrested. If convicted, each defendant faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years in prison and a maximum of !if e in prison with no parole on conspiracy and drug distribution charges.

Getting on ferries easier than learning French EAT YOURPEAS, ElNSTEJN / ElizabethLester With a Bonsai tree sitting on my face and multiple backpacks and boxes covering me I began to debate the ethical aspects of sneaking onto a ferry. By the time I decided crossing the English Channel for free was probably grounds for deportation, we were at the check-in station. At that exact moment, one of my French friends happened to lose her passport. She frantically began ripping apart the boxes balanced on my belly. Eventually she found the passport and we were admitted on the ferry. Sneaking .an.tothe.ferry 1Y.aS.wecely one of the many experiences I naa in France.

There are many effective ways of losing track of acquaintances. Some methods include changing jobs, dropping out of school, refusing to attend the weekly Pi Gimme Gimme meeting or staying in your basement eating your cockroaches after they eat your week-old Chinese food and listening to Mazzy Star and Leonard Cohen for three weeks after breaking up with your girlfriend. Um, I knew someone once, he uh, no, not me, er I don't know ... Short of moving out of the state without telling anyone where you are going, the most effective method for a resident of Utah to lose track of acquaintances may be to join or leave a particular religion. This produces instant new pseudo-friendships and makes you an instant leper to old pseudo-friends.

Frustrated, I pushed on a I ittle further down the isle and found low sodium entrees, reduced fat frozen dinners, low sodium this, reduced fat that, no sugar added , no flavor here, no filling there. It was as if I was stuck in some sort of nightmare! I traveled to another section of the store. The twisting front wheel of my cart was growing more obnoxious . I found Italian dressing that didn 't contain oil , butter that didn 't come from cows, cheese that wouldn't melt in a microwave but was somehow proven to be more easily digested. Searching frantica lly for products that hadn't been reduced from their original form proved to be a daunting task. Though the lack of flavor in food . was my original concern , this was now becoming more than just a flavor issue. Two additi onal points came to mind. First, if it's not fat in there, what are they replac ing it with? And second, how is it possible that a product with "less" could cost " more?" Some of those " healthy choice" dinners didn 't come with enough food to phase a shrew, yet cost a small fortune . I' m a lightwe ight person. Some people call me skinny, but I prefer to be recognized as "small boned." Because I' m a little underweight I search for food that may help me gain a little. Where are the labels that read, "Fat Enhanced," "Yes, Sugar Added," " Sodium to Taste," "Good Stuff Contained," and " Not The Healthiest Choice as Determined By a Handful of Individuals, But By Far The Best Choice as Determined By Everyone Else?"

I sat down one morning to a pair of my prize winning French toasts, a slab of Jimmy Dean sausage, a generous helping of golden brown maple syrup and a tall glass of milk. With fork in hand, I dug into the egg battered bread, lifted the morsel to my lips, then easily placed the package of breakfast surprise into my starved, hungry mouth. After a few chews, I noticed something was horribly wrong. Something didn't taste right. "What could it be?" I wondered ... the eggs were new, the bread was fresh, the fork was clean ... Grasping the syrup bottle I realized what had happened. Printed across the label in a boastful red type, as if such a flaw were invaluable to society, were the words "No Sugar Added." I dropped my fork. No sugar added!? Without sugar all that could be left in a bottle of syrup was the water, artificial flavoring and color. Where did this bottle come from? Who would ever purchase such a thing? On the back label was a peculiar note to diabetics that read, "This product may be useful in your diet on the advice of a physician." Maybe I had mistaken the product for cough syrup the last time I was at the drug store. It was my best explanation. Wherever it came from , that bottle of syrup started a growing, personal awareness of the lack of good food ihese days. Let me explain further. I recently went shopping for some lasagna.

Ballmer, above all, has a chance to escape the trap of corporate hubris that enveloped Gates as he battled the Justice Department's antitrust suit. This stopped being just a lawsuit several years ago for Gates; it became personal, and that probably hurt the company. He's free to settle the suit and steer Microsoft into the open seas of 21st-century competition. But how should he do that? What's the best

way for the new CEO to keep what's best about Microsoft, while jettisoning the parts that don't work? Ballmer's job, in the simplest terms, is to realize value for shareholders. That's every CEO's first responsibility, but it's especially important now, as Ballmer assesses the Justice Department's reported demand that Microsoft be broken up as the price for settling the case. He dismissedthe question at a news conference Thursday as "absolutely recklessand irresponsible," but he should give the underlying issue careful thought: Will shareholders be better off if the company staysintact, or if it's broken into pieces? The shareholder argument for a breakup is simple: Microsoft has become so big and bureaucratic that it has lost the nimbleness and flexibility - and even
some of the aggressiveness- for which it became famous. Some industry analysts are convinced that Microsoft investors holding shares of these smaller software tigers would do better in the long run than if they cling to Gates' monolith . " Our recommendation to Microsoft is to take the bold step to settle (the Department of Justice suit) immediately and voluntarily spin-off a set of technologically coherent companies whose mission is to produce best-of-breedsoftware acrossall operating environments," w rote the authors of the IDC study. " In this way, Micro soft would adroitly maneuver out of its current PRdisasterand away from its PC-centricity."

MATARAM,Indonesia (AP)As an Islamic prayer call echoed from a nearby mosque on the balmy tourist island of Lombok, a Muslim mob ransacked a house abandoned by its terrified Christian owners. "God is great!" a teen-age boy screamed as his friends pushed a car out of the garage and turned it over in the street. The crowd scattered when a squad of riot police arrived. Muslim mobs targeted Lombok's Christian minority for a second day Tuesday, burning and ransacking homes in the main town of Mataram and forcing hundreds of tourists to flee. Security forces fired warning
shots to stop one gang from storming a police station, where 500 Christians had taken sheltered. Tuesday's violence came a day after mobs burned and desecrated a dozen churches and other Christian places of worship in Lombok, 670 miles east of Jakarta. Some fear religious intolerance, which has gripped another part of eastern Indonesia for more than a year, has taken root in Lombok and could sweep across the sprawling Southeast Asian nation, putting at risk its transition to democracy. On Tuesday, gangs torched two restaurants at Senggigi, on
the island's west coast. Most nearby hotels had earlier evacuated their guests by sea ferry to the neighboring island of Bali, Indonesia's main vacation destination, There were no reports of injuries. In Mataram. small groups of people sifted through the ashes of burned churches. One of the largest, the Immune Protestant Church. was ransacked and charred inside, obscene graffiti daubed on its walls. "Be afraid pastor. the Muslims will drink your blood ," was scrawled across the entrance. The words "public toilet" were written where an altar once stood.
"Thousan ds of people attacked the church. They burned and smashed everything," said a man who identified himself by the single name of Fajaki. Neighbors said the church's clergy had left the island in fear. Lombok, a picturesque volcanic island of palm-fringed beaches and green rice fields, is home to members of Indonesia's three main faiths - majority Islam, along with minority Hinduism and Christianity. Hundreds of Hindus barricaded their neighborhoods Tuesday and carried spears and swords to protect themselves against possible Muslim attacks.

UNITED NATIONS (AP)Opposition mounted Tuesday to Rolf Ekeus as the new U.N. chief weapons inspector for Iraq, with France and China joining Russia in formally objecting to his nomination. The Security Council was holding talks Tuesday afternoon to discuss the matter . Ambassadors from Russia, France and China sent the council president, U.S. Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, letters saying they couldn't accept Ekeus, now Sweden's ambassador to the United States. Ekeus headed the United Nations' first inspection agency for Iraq, the U.N. Special Commission, which was created in 1991 after
the Gulf War to rid Iraq of its weapons of mass destruction. The Russian and French ambassadors said Tuesday it was Ekeus' association with the old commission, tainted by allegations of spying on behalf of the United States, that made him unfit to head the new agency. The U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Unit was created in December to replace the Special Commission. The U.N. inspectors pulled out of Iraq in December 1998, ahead of US and British airstrikes, and Baghdad has said they may not return.

"Twenty-five candidates already considered and rejected doesn't suggest that there are many names left to consider," Eckhard said Tuesday.

Sneh also blamed European states seeking to expand trade with Iran for not cooperating with the U.S. efforts to stem the flow of nuclear know-how into the Islamic state. "European nations did not help the United States with this and they weren't really cooperative in the coalition against Iranian achievement of nuclear capability.'' he said. Sneh hinted that Israel may take action to halt Iranian nuclear projects but said he would not specify. "There is a list of other things" that must be done, he said. "But I'm not sure they should be discussed publicly." Sneh has said in the past that Israel should consider a pre-emptive strike on Iran to destroy its nuclear capabilities. In 1981. Israeli fighter bombers destroyed a nuclear reactor in Iraq shortly before it was to become operational. Israel believed the reactor would be used to manufacture nuclear weapons . Israel also has successfully tested the antimissile Arrow system, which was developed in part as a defense against Iran's Shahab-3 missile.

experiments Illinois vet schoolputsendto someanimal-killing CHAMPAIGN,Ill. (AP)Bowing to protests from stu dents , the University of Illinois has suspended first-year veterinary school lab experiments that can kill dogs, rabbits and pigs. The decision to stop such , experiments through the spring semester came after complaints from veterinary students and
members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Twenty-six students, or a quarter of the first-year veterinary class, signed a petition last fall saying they would not participate in animal labs during the spring semester. The veterinary school has used about 100 dogs and pigs annually to teach animal
physiology. including a course in which students inject drugs into dogs to change their heartbeat or their rate of breathing. The students have called for non-lethal alternatives to accommodate students who object, such as videotapes and computer programs . Officials said they will use
the spring semester to decide whether to resume experiments or make some changes. Veterinary college Dean Ted Valli said the school also would stop conducting experiments using dogs bought through means of animal dealers. Critics say such dogs may be obtained through theft or other objectionable means.
