Widtsoe construction nearing completion KATHRYN SUMMERS

Staff Writer

If things continue as planned, chemistry students can expect to be having classes in the new Widtsoe building beginning in March. said Stanley Kane, assistant director of design and construction for Utah State University. According to Kane, the first phase of building is almost complete. The building needs some cleaning and there are still a few unfinished projects and "tweaking," but it is almost ready for use. "We have a great building here," Kane said. The nearly-finished building will house all the chemistry teaching and research labs and a small auditorium. The other half. once completed, will have a large auditorium with about 500 seats, and a complex for the dean of science. There will also be a computer lab with about 50 computers, but not until 2001 when phase two of the building is done, Kane said. There are many safety features and special things about the new building, he said. "It's a very well designed, safe building for faculty and students," Kane said. To keep people from slipping on the outside stairs to the main entrances, they are heated to keep snow off in winter months. "The ventilation is state of the art." Kane said. "Now that's a cliche, but it is really top notch." Fresh air is sucked in from outside at ground level and blown out the top of the building. Since the exhaust goes out the top, the chance of bad air being sucked back into the building is minimized. Kane said. Also, the exhaust system is made of stainless steel so it won't corrode. In the research labs, the cabinets are

made of wood because chemicals corrode metal. The sinks and counters are made of acid resistant material that shoula . :;st at least 30 years. Kane said. All sinks from the labs drain to the south end of the building. The water goes into a tank filled with limestone chips which will react with acid in the water and neutralize it. The water then

goes into the Logan City sewer system. Logan can sample the water coming from the chemistry lab at any time to make sure the acid content is at an acceptable level, Kane said. There are no ceiling tiles in the corridors and research areas. In teaching areas there are ceiling tiles for good acoustics, but in the research areas, the

utilities above often need to be reached and ceiling tiles would just get in the way, Kane said. Almost every room in the new Widtsoe Hall is built to contain a fire. The rooms have sprinklers which are tested by the USU fire marshal twice a year. Each lab has a fire-rated door with special smoke gasketing around the

All Utah State University students to have an Aggie Express account l<EvlN PEEL

Students can now put money on their Aggie Express Account over the Internet. At www.usu.edu/ -usucard/index.html, students can increase their card balances with proper password ID. such as a social security number, and a credit card number The Utah State University Card Office, located in the Taggart Student Center Room 212, is still accepting money during normal business hours. The online site, however, is available 24 hours a day and is accessible from a home computer. Transactions done from campus will be processed immediately. Modem transfers (those done off-campus) will be processed during one of the next modem updates following the transaction. There are three of these updates a day: 7:15 a.m., 12:15 p.m., and 5:15 p.m. The Express Account site can also be

reached from the USU Web site by clicking on Index, USU Card and then Transaction Request. The system has also been changed for new students opening an account. Freshmen and transfer students will now pay an extra dollar ($6 instead of $5) for Student Orientation And Registration packets. The dollar will be put into the student's Aggie Express account , which will be activated automatically without paperwork. Since the cards are activated by the first dollar, no minimum amount of money will be needed for the first use of an Aggie Express account - the previous minimum was $5.

Associated Students of USU Academic Vice President Emily Croshaw and the Academic Council began looking last semester for ways to, make it easier to add funds to student cards, Croshaw said. "When the [free computer lab] copies went from 100 to 35, a lot more

students were putfing more money into their card accounts, " she said. Croshaw looked into how other schools, like Utah Valley State College and Brigham Young University, handled student accounts. The council then discussed the feasibility of different improvements with Vice President for Student Services Gary Chambers, who had authority to make the changes. Croshaw said the online service didn't cost the school any additional money to implement. Aggie Express Accounts are used not only for student printouts, but also for purchases at the Bookstore, campus eateries, copy centers , the Bull Pen and other campus services. Jana Gittins, the business manager at the Customer Service Center, emphasizes that the changes weren't meant to keep students away from the card office. "We still want to get to know as many of you as we can," she said. "It keeps us young."

Eric Hale and other Phisical Plant employes have been out in force with the unseasonablywarm weatl,er trying to prune the now blosoming trees on campus, a job that usually does't take place until spring. The warm weather has caused many plants to start growing early, many of which will not m ake it if the temperatures drop down to normal seasonaltemperatures.

With tuition, books. rent and an occasional trip to the grocery store, it's no wonder credit cards are a seemingly good solution. Jennifer Holman, assistant account manager of United College Marketing Services has another solution. UCMS is a company dedicated to getting college students out of debt and eliminating credit card vendors from college campuses. Holman said . The problem is students are receiving more credit cards, but less credit , she said. "Our job is to credit educate," Holman said. According to Holman, UCMS goes to campuses across the nation presenting

seminars to sororities and fraternities, business clubs and other organizations on credit education . The topics include money management. getting rid of credit cards and promoting their newest Web site, www.campusbackbone.com , Holman said. Campusbackbone.com offers a variety of services focused on helping students get back on track with their credit for free, Holman said. Each member of campusbackbone.com receives a free debt counseling page . This summarizes debts owed, estimated date of pay-off. and low-cost loan alternatives. It can also help track bill dates, financial histories and oth~r financial issues. "While T-shirts and 50 bu cks a

High court directs Orem to show incentives were legal SALTLAKECJTY (AP)- The City of Orem must return to court to prove financial incentives it offered the University Mall and ZCMI Department Store followed state law. The Utah Supreme Court ruled on the matter Friday. JP Realty.which owns the rival Provo Towne Centre mall, sued Orem after the city agreed in spring 1998 to use sales-tax revenue to fund incentives benefiting University Mall and ZCML The incentives were designed to keep ZCMI from moving to the Provo Towne Center and to help University Mall lure Nordstrom Inc. as an anchor tenant and

;"

undertake promotional activities. JP Realty contended Orem violated th e Utah Neighborhood Development Act by using sales-tax revenue for the incentives, up to $65 million to ZCMI and up to $18 million to the mall, spread out over 20 years. A lower court denied its assertions. The Supreme Court ruled Orem can use sales-tax revenue as incentives, but it must show the city will receive fair compensation in each year of the deal and not just over the lifetime of the agreement. Orem City Attorney Paul Johnson welcomed the ruling .

Issues matter most in N.H. primary WASHINGTON (AP)- About half of the likely New Hampshire primary voters cite a candidate's position on issues as the most important factor in deciding who should be president, although no one issue dominated, a new poll says. And, three days before the first presidential primary Tuesday, at least a third of all likely voters said they had yet to make a firm decision. the polls suggest. The Republican race has tightened to a dead heat in many polls between Texas Gov. George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, as Bush wins increased backing from previous ly undecided Republicans, po llsters say. On the Democratic side, Vice President Al Gore has built a lead by pu lling even with Bill Bradley among two groups of voters independents and men - where Bradley had been the strongest, though that lead has narrowed in the last couple of days and one tracking poll. by CNN-USA Today-Gallup, had the two tied. REPUBLICANS Bush and McCain, the Arizona senator, are tied in several of the latest pre-primary polls, while McCain holds a slim lead in a couple of others. When asked in a Boston Herald-WCVB poll which issue is the most important in their decision, 15 percent chose the economy, 13 percent chose taxes and 12 percent picked education.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) North Korea indicated Sunday that it would send a high-level delegation to the United States if Washington removes it from a list of countries that sponsor terrorism. Removal of North Korea from the U.S. list is necessary to create "favorable conditions and atmosphere for the Washington high-level talks before anything else," the North's foreign news outlet. KCNA. quoted an unidentified Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying. The two issues will be high on the agenda when less senior officials from the two countries resume talks in New York in late February, KCNA quoted the spokesman as saying. The sides met in Berlin from Jan. 22-28 but failed to reach agreements. A high -level North Korean official's visit to Washington would be seen as a sign of the country's practical readiness to improve ties with the United States. Such a visit would reciprocate former Defense Secretary William Perry's trip to Pyongyang last May in his capacity as presidential emis sary. North Korea sent shock

waves through Asia by testing a multistage rocket that sailed over Japan and landed in the Pacific in the summer of 1998. The United States agreed to open talks on improving relations after the communist country halted plans last summer to test-fire another missile which experts said could reach Hawaii and Alaska. As part of the deal, the United States partly lifted economic and other sanctions in place since the 1950-53 Korean War. But the North complained that the U.S. concessions fell short of its expectations . Removal from the U.S. list of terrorism-sponsoring countries has been a longstanding Pyongang demand. The United States identified North Korea as a terrorism sponsoring state after it was found to have been involved in the 1987 bombing of a South Korean airliner that killed 115 people. The South Korean Boeing 727 from Baghdad, Iraq to Seoul disappeared near Burma. A captured female North Korean agent admitted that she planted a bomb on the plane under orders from Pyongyang leaders.

TAIPEI. Taiwan (AP) - The presidentia l candidate for Taiwan's pro-independence opposition party promised Sunday that the island wou ld not declare independence un less mainland China tried to retake it by force. Also Sunday, China warned Taiwanese leaders not to try to write the island's claim to separate status into law. In Taiwan, presidential candidate Chen Shui-bian's statement against independence marked a major shift of the Democratic Progressive Party's stance ahead of th e Mar. 18 election. "We will not declare independence unless China wants to use force against us a n d our people cannot tolerate or accept it," Che n told a news con ference. If elected, Chen said, he would like to visit China to meet its leader before taking office. Most recent polls have placed Chen in a tie with independent candidate James Soong. The ruling Nationalist party's candidate, Vice President Lien Chan, is in third place. Chen has tried to soften his party's stance on independence to win voters worried that tension with China could rise if he is elected. Chen has said he will leave it up to Taiwan's people to decide in a referendum whether the island breaks completely or reunifies with China. C,hina and Taiwan split amid civil war in 1949. China considers the island a renegade province and has insisted on reunifica'ti'o'n, by 'foYce if necessary. '' · If ,. Chen has said that if elected, h e will not alter the constitution to formal ize current President Lee Teng -hui's claim that the two sides should trea t each other as equal states, a stance that has enraged Beijing. He also has said he will not change the island's official name, the Republic of China. Some party members have suggested renaming it the Republic of Taiwan. On Sunday, Beijing warned Taiwanese leaders that trying to write the island's claim to separate status into law would be "playing with fire." The warning was carried in a front-page editorial in the People's Daily, a newspaper published by the ruling Communist Party. It came two days after a top Chinese leader renewed threats that China would wage war if Taiwan declared independence.

> Turkish policefindmorevictims of militia ISTANBUL.Turkey (AP) - Police found the remains of six more bodies Sunday in their grisly 2-week -old search for suspected victims of a radical Islamic group, Turkey's Anatolia news agency reported. The four bodies and the sets of human bones apparently belonging to two people were discovered in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir, bringing the number of presumed Hezbollah victims found to 48. Authorities have launched a nationwide crackdown and arrested hundreds of suspected members of Hezbollah, an armed group that wants to create an Islamic state in Turkey's largely Kurdish southeast. Two bodies were found buried in the storeroom of a twostory house in Diyarbakir, Anatolia said. An adjacent poultry house contained two other bodies those of poultry thieves caught and killed by Hezbollah militants last week, Anatolia said, quoting police. Authorities were reportedly led to the house by militants who confessed to the killings during questioning. Police also found h uman bones in a nearby home, apparently belonging to two people, Anatolia said . Weapons, Hezbollah books and documents were also found in the hqme. The search was continuing in both houses. Bodies have been discovered in Istanbul; the capital. Ankara; the southern city of Adana; and Konya. in central Anatolia.

Wildlife officials catch wayward young cougars in downtown Salt LakeCity

Stanley Kane, assistant directorof design and constructionfor Utah State University, points out the heating vents in the newly renovatedWidtsoebuilding.

WIDTSOE Continued fromPage1 designed to have good acoustics, Kane said. The walls tilt in toward the top of the room to prevent echoes. Kane said lighting research centered around ocular fatigue as special attention was focused on lights. Older people tend to get more headaches because of bad light so the lights in the labs were designed to cut down on glare, he said. "Gentle lighting leads to happier, healthier faculty who can be more excited about teaching students," Kane said. All the chemicals for the university will be stored in Widtsoe and transported in

small quantities to other buildings on campus, Kane said. There is a special loading dock inside so the chances of slipping and breaking bottles of chemicals while walking down stairs will be reduced. The rooms where chemicals are stored are specially designed to be safe, Kane said. They have explosionproof lights and the light switches are outside. In case of an explosion, the windows are designed to blow out instead of the pressure pushing up and destroying other rooms in the building, Kane said. The white decorative elements outside the building, especially on the west side, will help cut down on afternoon glare, Kane said. The west-facingwindows are also painted with small

black dots to block sun. It should take about two weeks at the end of February to get all the classes and teaching labs moved over to the new building, Kane said. Kane said he thinks it should take about one month to tear down the old Widtsoe building after the asbestos is removed. He said he hopes to be done with the demolition in April. The entire project should be done in May or June of 2001. The cost of the project is about $31 million, Kane said. The state gave $26 million to the project, and the rest has come from private donations, Kane said. The building will keep the name of John A. Widtsoe in honor of the past faculty member.

> ParkCityto get new multiplex for Sundance PARKCITY(AP)- Each year, the Sundance Film Festivalgets a little more crowded.Soon it will have a little more room. A Kansas City company plans to build a 10-theater multiplex near Park City,which will more than double the number of screens available for Sundance. Resort Theaters of America (RTA) will build a 1,500-seat movie complex on Interstate 80, six miles north of Park City. Construction is set to begin this spring and the theater will open about a year later. The film festival can use the theaters for the first time in 2002. "It's the best present we can make for the filmmakers, to have the best theaters to screen their films," said the festival'sco-director. Nicole Guillemet. Each of the stadiums will be outfitted with the latest in movie-projection technology and digital sound systems. The screens also will accommodate high-tech video projection systems when they become widely used. RTAspecializesin resort towns and has theaters in Aspen. Colo., Carmel, Calif. and Palm Springs, Calif. Guillemet said additional screens won't mean more films, but less crowded theaters and more time for question-and-answer sessions.

> Student drug/alcohol survey billclearsSenate SALTLAKE CITY (AP) - The Utah Senate advanced a bill to allow schools.without parental consent, to question students in sixth grade and up about drug and alcohol use, youth violence and other topics. The bill was approved 18-9 after Sen. Robert Montgomery, R-North Ogden, amended it Friday to require schools to notify parents by mail before students are asked to participate in surveys. The bill creates a 13-member committee to review proposed school surveys and makes it easier for schools to recruit enough participants for the surveys. Sen. David Steele,R-WestPoint, said the intent of the bill is to protect students by finding out what activities they are engaged in and making efforts to curtail problems.

USU ROTC flying high with incentiveflights; sponsors Cadet For a Day DEBBIE LAMB

Staff Writer

As if most of us don't have enough to do with school. work and our social lives,the cadets from the Air Force ROTC have been working overtime flying around and getting ready to play G.I.Joe. "It was really a great experience to be laying on your belly in the tail of a big airplane and looking out through a glass window on the bottom and see F-16s no more than 25 feet away from you," Gary Marlow, ROTC cadet commander, said. "Youfind yourself looking right down into the cockpit at the pilot and thinking, 'That's what rm going to be doing in a year's time.' It's quite a rush and really

gets you excited about what you've chosen to do." Fifty cadets flew in KC-135·s to refuel F-16s last Thursday at the Air National Guard base at the Salt Lake City International Airport The round trip took between two and three hours. The cadets, the flight crew - which consists of two pilots, a navigator and two boom operators - the person that works the fuel nozzle and is responsible for refueling the other aircraft. were the only people on the plane, Marlow said. The KC-135 has four jet engines. Each engine can put out the equivalent of 19.000 horse power, said Ionia Andrus, public relations officer for the cadets. It can off-load or pump 6,000 pounds of gasoline per minute

and has 12,000 brake pads which is the equivalent of stopping 50 cars simultaneously . The planes refueled at a Military Operations Area on the Nevada/ Idaho border. "Today the F-16 couldn't complete its mission without the help of the KC-135."said cadet Jennifer Cowry, a freshman who recently transferred to Utah State University from the Air Force Academy. ·when you see it like that you see how the parts of the Air Force work together to make one successful unit." The best part of the flight was the refueling, according to cadet Daylin Myers, a senior at Utah State University. The F-16 has to fly up to the KC-135 and maintain its speed while trying to have

a nozzle inserted into its tank The nozzle is about the same size as one found at a gas station, he said. "Everyyear the Air National Guard unit in Salt Lake City rotates flights between the three universities here in Utah (Brigham Young University, University of Utah and USU)."Marlow said. "This was our year to go, so we were cleared for it, but it still took a lot of hard work to get everything set up and actually make it happen: The flight is called an incentive flight: it's purpose is to build the moral of cadets. "When you deal with something everyday, such as homework assignments , ii:can wear on you,'' Myers said. "lt was a good break

We got to go and meet some people who are doing it everyday. To get out in the real world, we can see there is a real job waiting for us." The ROTC is also sponsoring a program called "Cadet for a Day," which gives civilians an opportunity to experience cadet life for themselves. "It will be Saturday, and will start in the Taggart Student Center auditorium," Marlow said. "Aswe do the different things, we will be doing we will use the Taggart Student Center, HPER gyms, Military Science building and be outside a little bit." Cadet for a Day is open to everyone at the university. however it is being limited to 80 participants. There will be pre-registra-

tion all next week in the TSC at a table on the ground floor as well as in TSC Room 326. "To learn something about someone 's life, it is said you should walk a mile in their shoes," Myers said. "In our case it would be combat boots." "For students, it's a day to play G.I. Joe just like they used to when they were kids," Marlow said. "It's also a great way to find out more about the ROTC program especially if you've ever wondered about doing it "The idea is to do a fun-filled, action-packed day that gives participants exposure to many of the different elements involved in being in ROTC: Marlow said.

In a big-screenuniverse populated by generallyolder,tougher, more sarcasticand emotionally inaccessibleleading men. Prinze·s refreshingyouth and vulnerable humanity have made him America'snewest male star with superstar potential. Prinze's unanticipated megasuccessin last year's She'sAll That, a low-budgetteen flick that has made almost four times its production costs by grossingnearly $70 million to date. Recently, Prinze hosted "SaturdayNight Live,"in sort of a pop culture announcement of having arrived. Of course, all of this makes guys like Chris Sandovallaugh. Sandovalmet Prinzewhen they were both first-gradersat Manzano Day Schooland after years of ·getting into trouble" together (staininga neighbor's statue with mustard and jumping from Prinze'schimney into the pool, for instance) remains a close friend. "Allwe want to know is this,"Sandovalsays affectionately, "how did that goofballget to where he's at?" The answer to that question is not as simple as many think. It's easy to assume Prinze got breaks in Hollywoodbecause he's the son of comedian and actor Freddie Prinze,who starred in the popular '70s sitcom "Chicoand the Man· and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at age 22, when Freddie was only 10 months old.

"Freddiehas a career because he is a truly talented man.· It should also be noted that Prinze'smother, real estate agent Katherine Cochran, wished for her son to be anything but an actor, as she blamed the pressures and easy accessto drugs associated with the entertainment industry for her ex-husband's early demise.

This is the second year in a row

that this same instrumentation has been used in the Fallis'recital. Personnel and the recital repertoire have changed but the instruments remain the same, Todd said. However,he said, he and Elizabethhave just about exhausted the repertoire for flute and trombone. The recital opens with ElizabethFallisand Christiansen in "Sicilienne·from "Pelleaset Melisande"by Gabriel Faure.Todd describes the work as jazzy.gorgeous and very different.The pairing of flute and guitar is unique. Christiansen continues to be featured in the second work. "Deux Danses,"by Jean-Michel Defaye.This time he is paired with Todd on the trombone. The third selection is actually two separate pieces that are often performed together, "ANight Piece· and "Scherzo·by Arthur Foote. Elizabethon flute is joined by the Arcata String Quartet for these works. "I wanted to take advantage of having the Arcata in our depart-

ment."Todd said. "It is a great opportunity to have a professional string quartet in residence forstudents, faculty members and community members alike. I wanted to include them in the recital and I'm excited to perform with them." Todd gets the chance to do just that in the next selection,"Sonata· by Patrick McCarty.The work is a standard in the trombone repertoire but is not often performed. he said. He is pleased to be able to include it in the recital program. Eliz.abethreturns for "Assobio A. Jato" by Hector Villa-Lobos.She is joined by cellist Michael Carrera. The work is described as a "vibrant,contemporary piece." Gary Amano, head of USU piano program in the department of Music,joins Todd for "Fantastic Polka"by Arthur Pryor.

Members of the Ballroom Dance Company

DANCETEAM Continuedfrom Page4 Randall said the emotional, physical and financial fight with USU has been too much of a strain on him. He is turning the company over at the end of this semester to Cartmill, who will continue with the company until he graduates with his Bachelor's in psychology. "(Randall) calls me insane," Cartmill said. ·1 do it for the love of teaching. to see the excitement of the students." ·we love our teams," Randall said. "I could squeeze them all to death every day." The company is divided into three teams: Blue, White, and Competition. In their search for non-competitive team names, Randall and Cartmill said they settled on

practiceone of their rot1tinesfor their upcomingcompetitions.Their next competitionwill be on Feb.5 in Orem, Utah.

USU's school colors. Cartmill said Ricks College's dance teams are divided according to skill level. He and Randall wanted to create two equal teams here to keep up team spirit without making one team seem superior to the other. "There's no one on the backup learns that couldn't be on the competition team," Randall said. Cartmill added that the Blue and White teams serve as backup teams with slower, easier routines. "They're the most enthusiastic because they're new," Cartmill said. "The competition team is more intense, they pay more attention to detail." Each team focuses on one style

of dance. The Blue team performs more standard dances, such as the Waltz, Foxtrot, and the Tango. The White team performs the Latin dances such as the Samba and the Cha Cha. Couples from each team are encouraged to enter competitions on an individual basis, but often it's just the competition team that travels. "Other competitors see USU has a team and while they're here, they try out," Randall said. "Word of mouth." Randall said the university seems concerned with building relations with the community but fails to see how the Company can aid the university with this task without any funding. "We go out to the Williamsburg Retirement Community for a Valentine's Dance," Cartmill said. ·we dance at the Mother's Day weekend and numerous on-campus performances." While the team builds community relations, the dancers

build each other's confidence levels. "Before I started dancing, I was really shy," Samuel Brand, a member of the White team and a senior in Family Consumer Science, said. "Dancing pelvis to pelvis with a girl ..." Brand said, letting out a stifled cry, "all my fantasies come true." Brand was a member of the Competition team last year, but due to time constraints with school, he's had to cut himself back to the White team. "l love to dance," he said. Anything strange ever happen out on the dance floor? Randall and Cartmill both chuckle. "We performed at a church, and one of the girls lost an earring," Cartmill said. "This old guy picked it up and started following her around the floor trying to give it back to her as she danced." "We've had girls' dresses come undone," Randall said, laughing. "The partner just has to hold on to it"

scoring on • 1cet not with ladies STATINGTHE STATS

/ ReubenWadsworth Utah State University hockey player Aaron Burrell scored five goals in his team's 9-4 victory over the Provo lcecats two weeks ago. The rest of his team can score as well. Their offensive numbers are practically unheard of in hockey. Past final scores this season have been blowout wins such as 11-3, 12-2, 10-3 and even a 19-0 drubbing of New Mexico. Despite their effectivenessin scoring on the ice, Burrelland two of his hockey-playing buddies (defenseman Danny Wilson and goaltender Eric Moldenhauer) can't seem to score while off the ice with the women. "I don't feel quite adequate around the other hockey players who have girlfriends,"Wilson said. Why are these players starved for female attention? Wilson said he has had a hard time meeting women in Logan. Moldenhauer said he has had nothing but stalkers he's not interested in since his arrival at USU. Burrell thinks women are intimidated by his dashing physique. These guys just aren't feeling the love at USU. It is sad to say, but none can remember the last time they went on a real date. They long for female companionship, but so far have not been lucky enough to find it. Ifwomen at USU only knew what they were missing, the trio's problems would be solved. Here is the lowdown on these three Aggie hockey wonders: Burrellstands at 6-foot-2 and weighs in at 195 pounds. He is thick. His teammates say he is built like a rock. "He's an iron tower of manhood," Wilson said. Burrell hails from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, and likes sailing and golf. Any ladies willing to take a chance on this solid man may call 787-4530. Moldenhauer said he is lookingto meet a broad selection of women. He is 6-foot-2and 160 pounds. The Park City native likes any sport from skiing to tennis. He likes the spontaneous. Wilson thinks women haven't gotten to know the real Moldenhauer. "They know the man behind the mask, but they don't know the man without it," he said. 'Moldie' is available by calling 787-8264. Wilson, ( no. 10) who is the most verbose in expressing his desire to meet women, stands at 5-foot-9 and weighs 175 pounds (None of it is flab, he suggests). "I'm not looking for a fling," Wilson said. "I just want a nice girl that I can spend all my money on." Danny, from West Hills, Calif., is ambitious, Moldenhauer said. According to 'Moldie,' Wilson has goals and plans for the future. Isn't it true that women are attracted to ambitious men? Another of Wilson's outstanding qualities is that he feels at ease in the kitchen. He said he once aspired to be a chef. Don't women like men that can cook? Not only can Wilson cook, but he is handsome as well. His teammates say he looks like RickyMartin. Women love RickyMartin. Right? Wilson also doesn't mind making a fool of himself and his teammates, says he is a hopeless romantic and enjoys long walks on the beach. He is looking for a spontaneous woman that is also fun, outgoing and likes hockey. If you meet this description call 787-2298 and ask for 'Danimal.' Reuben Wadsworth,like theseAggie hockeywonders,is available.He likes girls who are willing to join him on "RangerReub plannedexcursions." Dating requestsmay be sent to rangerreub@hotmail.com.

Tempers flair as USU hockey club trounces Utah REUBENWADSWORTH

Sports Writer

After an intense battle with Colorado State University a week ago, Utah State University hockey head coach Jerry Crossley said his team was subject to a bit of a letdown. A letdown it was on Saturday night at the sold-out Ogden Ice Sheet. But it was a letdown in penalties, not in scoring, as the Aggies (19-0-1) easily skated to a 9-1 win over the University of Utah to keep their undefeated record intact. USU players were sent to the penalty box 20 different times while the Utes served time for 14 penalties of their own. The penalties got so out of hand it was three on three

at one point with 1:05 left in the second period then again near the end of the third . Utah had a five on three advantage over the Aggiesat one point in the third but couldn't score. AggieMarlen Marquez was in the box four different times. Three from his own doing and one after a penalty was called on the crowd for throwing pennies on the ice. Crossley was disappointed with his players· lack of composure in the game. yet pleased they have been lucky in avoiding letting penalties hurt them the whole season. USU's Aaron Burrell said Crossley told the team not to come out flat because of lack of interest in the game.

with 7:25 to go in the second period. That play led to Burrell and Ute Ryan Kelly being sent to the penalty box for roughing penalties. No single play had more penalties in the game than what occurred with 1:35 left in the second period. Play was stopped for more than ten minutes while penalties were sorted out and a broken stick was removed from the ice. At that point a roughing penalty was called on Aggie Danny Wilson while Ute Taras Turko was whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct after a skirmish in the Utes· goal. The scuffle also resulted m a penalty shot for USU's Anderson after the Utes· were found guilty of intentionally trying to knock off the net on an Aggie scoring opportunity, Burrell said. Anderson was unable to slip the penalty try past Ute goaltender Axdes Haley. "That was an interesting hodgepodge of events." Anderson said Anderson said his team did their best to keep their cool and keep on playing after the unusual happenings. The Aggies chose their shots carefully against the Utes. While scoring their nine goals, USU only attempted 20 shots on goal. The Utes tried 45 shots and only landed one of them. Positives in the penalty-marred game? Anderson said there was good puck movement by defensemen Colby Thurston. Ross Keyes and Rad Anderson.

PENALTIES Continuedfrom Page8 According to Burrell. the penalty-filled contest was not a good one for the fans. but he was happy they came in droves. ·we had an emotionally draining week," USU assistant captain Nate Anderson said. There is a tendency to relax between big games, he added. The Utes· lone goal, made by Jason Lowder, was the first score of the game, coming with 3:30 left in the first period. It didn't take long for the Aggies to answer as USU's Kelly Froerer found the net just 47 seconds later with the help of an assist from teammates Aaron Burrell and Nick Thiros. The Aggies rolled on to score two goals in the first period and six in the second. Anderson recorded a hat trick in the game with four goals. Burrell scored two while three other Aggies scored one apiece. They were Froerer. Thiros and Clint Stosich. Anderson said one of the reasons for the large number of penalties was because players get frustrated when the score is run up. According to Anderson, the Utes were guilty of taking some cheap shots on the Aggies. Burrell agreed. He said he was kicked by a few Utah players when he was shoved into the net

USU just solid enough on beam to beat Boise State enough to hold off Boise State University, who scored 190.1, but both teams struggled on their final two events. USU gymnasts Christy Denson and Kristen Bloom took first and second in the all-around, with 39.100 and 38.700, respectively. The meet was Bloom's first collegiate experience, but she was able to block out mistakes by her teammates and stay focused. "That's the highest debut score, I'm sure, in the history of USU gymnastics, and she's going to be outstanding," head coach Ray Corn said of Bloom Boise State's Tiffany Weston was expected to vie for the top all-around position, but falls on three of the four events kept her out of the running. The Aggies started strong on vault with clean landings and consistent scores, but the Broncos scores were only slightly lower. Sophomore Stephanie Huff led the way for USU with a 9.750, second only to BSU's Debbie Thompson, who scored 9.775. Huffs vault was one of the few difficult enough to have a start value of 10.00. While Boise State faltered on bars and had to count a score of 8.700, Utah srate edged forward with five solid performances. Seniors Christy Denson and Jessica Porter turned in the two highest scoring routines. Denson ended with a stuck double layout and earned a 9.925. Earlier Corn said he was wor-

With six for six on vault and a score of 48.8 on bars, the ninth highest bar total in Utah State University history, the Aggies looked unstoppable after two rotations. But once again, the beam added some uncertainty to the outcome of their home opener Friday night. The Aggies· 191.625 was

ried his team might press themselves too hard in the second half of the meet, which is exactly what happened . "You like to see that on vault and the uneven bars ," Corn said, "but it doesn't work on beam." USU's first three athletes fell, and it seemed the Aggies' nearperfect record against the Broncos could be in jeopardy. But freshman Kristen Bloom ended the string of falls with a solid 9.600 . Denson and freshman Tina Ellis continued Bloom's momentum, scoring 9.850, and 9.775, respectively. Five of Boise States· six gymnasts fell off the beam in the last rotation, allowing USU to clinch the win. The floor was equally frustrating for the two young teams. In total there were five one tenth deductions for stepping out of bounds, as well as five falls; three from the Aggies and two from the Broncos. Inexperience was a key factor, both coaches said. Corn was confident that as they become more accustomed to collegiate competition, his team will improve. Boise State University head coach Sam Sandmire also attributed many of the errors to youth, and said falls this early in the season can be fixed. "Ifs just a chance for the coaches to see who they want to put in the lineup, what we want to leave in, and what we need to take out," Sandmire said.

"It definitely felt good to beat them," senior all-arounder Christy Denson said. Kirra Degener, Stephanie Huff and Kim Scharman all fell on their beam routines to put the Aggie win in doubt. But the domino-effect of falls on beam was halted by an unlikely can didate - freshman Kristen Bloom. In addition to a clean beam routine, she also came up big on the floor after two falls by Kristin O'Dell and Kristen Fargo. "I think she broke the ice there," head coach Ray Corn said.

From supermarket stocker to Super Bowl MVP

Gene Needham IV

ATIANTA (AP)- Kurt Warner laughs at the suggestion that this season of his is some kind of fairy tale, a farfetched script dreamed up by a writer with a vivid imagination. "I don't think of it as a Hollywood story," he said after finishing it off Sunday with the ultimate exclamation point - a record-breaking Super Bowl MVP performance. "It's my life. I take it one day at a time. I'm truly blessed. If it can be a source of hope to anybody, I'm happy to be a part of it." The quarterback who once tossed rolls of toilet paper around an Iowa supermarket turned the Super Bowl into his private playground in a 23-16 victory over the

Titans. He picked apart Tennessee's secondary, completing 24 of 45 passes for a record 414 yards, breaking Hall of Farner Joe Montana's mark of 357. First. Warner constructed a 160 lead . Then, when Tennessee made a furious second-half comeback to tie the score with two minutes to play, he won the game with d 73 yard touchdown pass to Isaac Bruce. Stuff like this reads like fiction. Warner knows that. He just shrugs it off and delivers an important message for every outsider. every player who was ever told he wasn't good enough, "Don't ever lose sight of the goal," he said "Don't let anybody

tell you you can't reach it. Keep it in you, and there's no reason you can't do it." Warner did not for a moment believe the Rams would not win this game, even in the face of the Titans' comeback. "We've got two minutes," he said. "We've been up and down the field all day. There was no rea son we couldn't move it for a field goal to win it. By no means were we doubting that we could win the game." But like a kid in a sandlot , Warner went for broke on first down instead of playing it conservatively. Naturally, it worked. "It was a go route," he said. "We called it earlier and lsaac beat his guy. We thought we could get a big one right off the bat. Maybe they weren 't expecting it." Bruce broke loose and took Warner's pass into the end zone, giving the Rams the lead and pushing the quarterback into exclusive company - Super Bowl heroes such as Bart Starr, Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw and Joe Namath. The difference was that those guys were future Hall of Famers, expected to produce champi onships for their teams. Warner came out of football's shadows to bring this one to the Rams.

ATLANTA (AP) - The St Lou~ Rams redisco ered Lhe{r offens'ive firepower just in time, and the Tennessee Titans cam e up just 1 yard short. Kurt Warner's 73-yard touchdown pass to Isaac Bruce with 1 minute, 54 seconds left gave the Rams their first Super Bowl win Sunday, 23-16 . The TD capped an improbable turnaround for St. Louis, which was 3-13 a year ago and 13-3 this season as they scored 526 points, third best in NFL history. But Steve McNair and Eddie George almost led Tennessee to, another miracle finish. rallying them from a 16-0 deficit. On the game's final play with six seconds left, McNair's pass was caught by Kevin Dyson at the Rams 5. He scrambled for the end zone only to be stopped just short by Mike Jones, as Dyson·s outstretched arm held the ball toward the goal line in vain. "I always believed in myself, and had a whole bunch of people who bel ieved in me." said Warner, the Super Bowl MVP who did a victory lap around the Georgia Dome. "We're the world champions! How about the Rams!" Warner, a former Arena League and NFL Europe quarterback, finished 24-of-45 for 414 yards and two touchdowns . The Rams dominated for much of the game but had to sett le for three field goals to take a 9-0 lead before finally scoring ·a touchdown. St. Louis seemed to have put the game away when Warner threw a 9-yard pass to Torry Holt with 3:59 left in the third quarter to take a 16-0 lead. But suddenly the Titans' offense came to life and the St Louis defense began to wear down behind the battering of George and short passes from McNair. Tennessee scored on its next two possessions, both on 1-yard runs by George to make it 16-13 with 7:21 left. It would have been 16-14, but the Titans chose to go for two points on their first TD and failed . Al Del Greco 's 43-yard field goal tied it with 2:12 left. Then the Rams' quick strike for a touchdown set up one of the most exciting finishes in Super Bowl history . The Titans, however, just didn't have enough at the very end.

Barak meets with Mubarak in Killing of Turkish . turnsfocus fresh bid to push Mideast talks feminist CAIRO, Egypt (AP)- Prime Minister Ehud Barak went looking for help from Egypt's president Sunday to revive a flagging Middle East peace process, while Israelis and Palestinians launched intensive talks in a last-ditch bid to meet a deadline for a peace treaty framework. The Israelis and Palestinians have set an ambitious Feb. 13 deadline for an outline of a final accord that would solve the thorniest issues dividing them: the return of Palestinian refugees, the borders of an independent Palestinian state and the status of Jerusalem, among others. Negotiators met secretly for two hours Sunday in an undisclosed location. The talks were expected to last 10 days. In Cairo, meanwhile, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak indicated he would do his best to try to prod along the Israeli-Palestinian dialogue, according to a senior Israeli official in Barak's delegation. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Mubarak has already proven his ability to influence Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

"The prime minister told tion from the scandal.

Israel's refusal of a key Syrian demand: a prior commitment to withdraw from all the Golan Heights. "The two partners ... should negotiate without any preconditions," Barak said. Palestinians have said they believe Barak is more interested in achieving an agreement with Syria first, which would isolate the Palestinians and strengthen Israel's hand. They also accuse Israel of dithering over interim issues, including withdrawals from the West Bank and prisoner releases, and not paying attention to the crucial final-status differences. Saeb Erekat, a leading Palestinian negotiator. said the Feb. 13 deadline was still reachable if Barak makes strides toward meeting Palestinian demands. "It is not the form of the negotiations, or how intensive they are - it is the substance," Erekat told The Associated Press. Barak on Sunday urged the Palestinians to "honor their commitments" as well, an apparent reference to recent threats to unilaterally declare statehood as early as next month.

to women's rights ANKARA,Turkey (AP) - Even in death. Konca Kuris was denied her last wish - that women be allowed to pray alongside men It was a desire that cost the religious feminist her life at the hands of 1slamic radicals. Police dug up Kuris' naked body from the basement of a hideout used by Islamic militants who videotaped weeks of abuse they inflicted before suffocating her. The bodies of dozens of male victims also have been found and a second female victim was discovered Friday. The killings have horrified the country. but Kuris' slaying also bas focused attention on the role of women in Islam, a flashpoint that was underscored when male relatives at her funeral last week refused to allow her eldest daughter to pray beside her coffin. "Who are the real Muslims, those who have killed Konca or those who go to mosque together, women an.d men?"' asked Necati Dogru. a columnist for the . ntwspaper Sabah. ' "One more person paid with her life for being different and searching for her own voice." Sibel Eraslan, a female commentator , wrote in the Islamic newspaper Akit. ·., But at Ankara's main Kocatepe mosque, worshipper Nese Ince spoke out against Kuris' feminist brand of Islam. "l don't want the Islam that I have believed in for years to be changed," she said.

I am a hearty seafaring type of individual, so recently I spent a week faring around the sea aboard the largest cruise ship in the world that has not yet hit an iceberg. It is called the Voyager, and it weighs 140,000 tons, which is approximately the amount I ate in desserts alone. Th_eVoyager sails out of Miami every week carrying 3,200 passengers determined to re!ax or di~ trying. The ship has (I am not making any of this up) an ice-skating rink, a large theater, a shopping mall, a rock-climbing wall and a ninehole r:niniature golf course. We have come a long way indeed from the days when the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower, which -- hard as it is to imagine today -- had no skating rink and ONLY FOUR GOLF HOLES. While_ abo~rd the ship,. we passengers engag~d in_a wide range of traditional cruise-ship activ1t1es, including eating breakfast, snacking, eating luncp, drinking complex rum-based bev~rages "".hile lying on deck absorbing solar radiation unttl we gl_owed_like exit signs, snacking some m1:>re , eating dinner, eating more snacks and p~ss1~gout face-down in the pate section of the m1d111ght. buffet. Needless to say I did not attempt to climb the rock wall , which is good because the resultin g disaster would have made for a chilling newspaper headline: CRUISE SHIP EVACUATED AS MAN FALLS EXPLODES; ' HUNDREDS SPATTEREDBY SEMIDIGESTED SHRIMP The only stressful part of our shipboard routine was look ing at photographs of ourselves. When you're on a cruise, photographers constantly pop up and take pictures of you; they put these on display in ~opes that you'll buy them as souvenirs. At 111ght,my wife and I would join the thro~g of p?sseng~rs looking through the photos, hoping to find a nice flattering shot of ourselves, and then suddenly -- YIKES -- we'd be confronted_ with this terrifying image of two bloated, bright-red sluglike bodies with OUR FACES. Jabba and Mrs. Hutt go to sea! When every p~ssenger had attained roughly the same body weight as a Buick Riviera, the ship would slop at a Caribbean island, and the passeng~rs would waddle ashore to experience the tradi tional local culture, by which I mean shop for Europea~ jewelry and watches. I frankly don't know why ti makes economic sense for a tourist

fr~m Monta~a to fly to Miami, get on a ship and sail to Jamaica for t~e purpose of purchasing a watch made in Switzerland, but apparently it do~s, because shopping is very important to cruise passengers. If these people ever get to Mars, they WIL~ expect to find jewelry stores. The other th1~g you do when your ship is in port 1s take gu1aed tours to Local Points of Interest. Under international law, every tour group must include one tourist who has the IQ of sod. In.Jamaica, we toured a plantation , and our group included a woman whose brain operated on some kind of tape delay, as we see from this typical exchange between her and our guide: GUIDE: These are banana plants, which produce bananas. You can see the bananas growing on these banana plants. WOMAN (in a loud voice): What kind of plants are these? GUIDE: Banana. WOMAN: Huh! (To her husband:) Frank, these are banana plants! _The ~oman repeated virtually everything the guide said to Frank. One day he will kill her with a kitchen appliance. But I am proud to say that winner of the award for Biggest Tourist Doofus was: me. What happenecf was, during the tour, a man demonstrated how he could climb a coconut tree using only a small rope made from twisted banana fibers. When he came _down, he showed me the rope, and I, out of politeness, pretended to be interested in it, although in fact it was, basically, a rope. .The man handed it to me and su~mested I might want to "take it home to the kids.' I frank ly doubted that any modern Nintendo-raised American child would be thrilled by such a gift ("Look, Timmy! A rope!"). But I pretended to be grateful. Then the man told me that such ropes USUALLY sel~for $15 (he did not say where) but he would let 1tgo for $10. And so, unable to figure out how to e~cape, I gave him $10. I imagine the other plantation wori<crs laughed far into the night when he told them. ("He gave you $1 O for the ROPE?" "Yes! He must be even stupider than the tape-delay woman!") ~ut don't get me wrong: I truly enjo yed the cruise. It was fun and relaxing, and it gave me a rare c~ance, ~mid all the hustle and bustle of my busy I 1fe,~o-p1c_kup a substan_tialamount of body m~ss. Cruising 1salso romantic , so let me just say this to you c<;>uplesout there:_If you're looking for a way to rekindle the flame in your relationship I' II sci I you my rope. '
