American Fork teens arrested for making napalm AMERICANFORK, Utah (AP)- Two teen-agers have been arrested and charged with making napalm from a recipe from the Internet. American Fork Police Department spokesman Darren Falslev said 14-and15-year-old boys were arrested after it was discovered they were testing and storing the explosive under a bridge. They are now in their parents· custody. They had burned a plastic figure and rocks. Falslev said. They boasted of their experiment to friends who tipped off an officer stationed at American Fork High School. Officers were then dispatched to the youths' homes. and the boys led the police to the bridge. The Utah County bomb squad removed the napalm, which had been stored in a plastic container. Napalm is a jellylike incendiary explosive that bursts into flames on impact. It was used in bombs and flamethrowers during the Vietnam War. It's considered extremely dangerous and volatile.Falslev said two boys probably didn 't understand what they were dealing with. "I don't think they have a clue," he said. One of the two teenagers was involved in blowing up a rest room toilet last year at American Fork Junior High School with a homemade device also made from information found on the Internet. Police have confiscated the computer the boys used to gather the bombmaking information .

Fee Board votes to increase student fees by $6.50 LAURA BELLAMY

Senior News Writer

Students can expect to see a $6.50 increase in student fees next year after the Fee Board approved five different fee increases at its Monday meeting. The fee increase is up 3 percent from last year's fees and was meant to mirror the 3 percent increase in tuition, said Student Body President Nate Anderson. The increases, meant to improve Utah State University as well as student life, ranged from money needed to maintain computer labs to funds needed to improve Aggie Shuttle operators' pay equity. Several different options were put forth to the Fee Board, which had to reduce the $18.50 requested to $6.50 in approved fees. "It's my feeling that we should look at these and prioritize," said Academics Vice President Emily Croshaw. ·we should look at how many students each of these fees affect.· I think to prioritize we need to go with the library," Croshaw said. "Right now I don't think (the computer fee) is a necessity. We have other fees that I feel are more important." According to the proposal from USU libraries. the proposed library fee would place the computers in the libraries on a replacement schedule. According to Croshaw, all other computer labs are currently on a schedule to have their computer equipment replaced every four years. This fee will allow the libraries to

update their equipment on a regular basis. The current library fee is $6 for all students and, after debate, was approved to be increased to $8. The proposed computer fee, which received no funding increase, would have helped to provide additional capacity for student use of computers. It would also provide three additional labs with 84 work stations open at night-time hours, the Computer Services proposal said. The current computer fee for students taking eight or more credits is $45. Board members said they felt libraries are in greater need of funding and reach a greater percent-

age of students. ·1 feel that this fee is a top priority in that it is something that would benefit the majority of students," Croshaw said. "Most every student uses the library whether they come in or just access the databases online ." The library fee, however, would not help the university in updating or obtaining new academic materials. Tm not really against it, but I don't really know how it helps students," said Graduate Vice President

Committee kills bill that would make large families pay more for schools SALTLAKECITY (AP)- A bill that would shift the burden of paying for education to large families was resound ingly defeated in a House committee Tuesday. Under current law, 75 percent of the federal deduction, or $2,063, can be deducted from state income taxes. Rep. Kory Holdaway's bill would have increased the deduction to 80 percent for the first two dependents - generally a husband and wife - and reduced it to 70 percent for each additional dependent. That would have meant a tax cut of

about $9.60 for the first two dependents, and a tax increase of that same amount for each child. Thus families with no children or one child would still see a tax cut, those with two children would see no change, and couples with three or more children would see a tax hike. Because state income taxes pay for education, the revision would have meant $5.3 million more for the Uniform School Fund. Holdayvay,R-West Valley City, called the bill a fairness issue. "If I have students that are participat ing in education, whether higher or pub -

lie. then I feel I have a greater responsibility to pay for that education," said Holdaway. Utah has a higher percentage of school-aged children than any other state and the smallest percentage of working-age adults, due to the state's huge families. It's a byproduct of the Mormon church's family emphasis. The result is that. while Utah taxpayers put the highest percentage of their income toward education , the state spends the least per-pupil in the nation. The bill had the backing of the Utah School Board Association, Utah School

Superintendent Association. The Utah Education Association and Davis Education Association teachers unions both supported the bill as well. Karen Derrick, a Salt Lake City Board of Education member and mother of seven, said it seems only fair that she pay more. But the committee worried the small tax hike would push large families, already forced to pay to feed and clothe their children, to the breaking point. 'To increase the burden right when

N.H. primary leads to upset MANCHESTER,N.H. (AP)Arizona Sen. John McCain scored a convincing win over George W. Bush in New Hampshire's leadoff primary Tuesday, puncturing Bush's self-styled aura as the Republican's inevitable nominee. Bill Bradley, the Democratic underdog, battled Vice President Al Gore in a high-stakes race of their own. It was a typical New Hampshire primary, with voters delivering a lecture to front-runners in both parties. Gore and Bradley were in a close race, according to voter interviews that showed McCain winning easily in his showdown with Bush. "We beat him amongst everyone, men and women. Republican and independent, young and old," McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press. He credited his agenda of political and campaign finance reform for his victory, and said New Hampshire voters had provided the momentum he needed heading into South Carolina and states that vote later. "When I pointed out that I would be the one to be able to tell Al Gore that I'm going to make what he did illegal, I think that was one of the turning points in the campaign," he said. McCain invested most of his time and money in the nation's leadoff primary, gambling that New Hampshire's independentminded voters would be drawn to his reform agenda. Though his

> Newambassador callsforhuman rights BEIJING (AP) - The new U.S. ambassador to China said Tuesday that the United States wants to open wide -ranging talks with the Chinese governmen t on human rights issues. Joseph Prueher, speaking to U.S. business executives in Beijing, said Washington welcomed the release last week of Song Yongyi. a librarian at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania who had been deta ined in China since August. But Prueher said a meaningfu l dialogue on human rights would have to go further . "I think it's importan t that human r ights discussions with China not be a series of spikes , of individuals , but rather a broader dialogue where we get more philosoph ically in tune, " he said to the American Chamber of Commerce-China . "A secure , stable and prosperous China is what's in the interests of the United States ," Prueher said . The United States has said it will present a resolution calling for China's censure for human rights abuses when the UN . Human Rights Commiss ion holds its annual meeting in Geneva in March. Vice Foreign Minister Wang Guangya said the "ant i-China resolution" would make restoring bilateral ta lks on human rights impossib le, state media reported Monday. China broke off the talks in May after the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade during the war in Kosovo. Prueher also said the United States should support China's changes from rule by individuals to rule of law, from a p lanned economy to an open market and from a closed society, as it was until reforms began in the late 1970s, to a "world player ." Some of the ways the Un ited States is trying to promote these transitions is by backing Ch ina's en try into the World Trade Organization and working on better military relations , he said . Prueher, a former Navy commander who became ambassador two months ago, said he has met with nea rly all China 's sen ior leaders and many provincial and local officials . He said th e talks were "very productive " and left him convinced that China 's leaders want good relations with the United States .

South Carolina on Feb. 19. "The road to the Republican nomination is a long road. Mine will go through all 50 states and I intend for it to end at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ," Bush said.

Crisis strikes Ireland government overIRA armsverdict BELFAST. Northern Ireland (AP) Northern Ireland's Protestant-Catholic government was plunged into crisis Tuesday after a report by an independent commission confirmed that the Irish Republican Army has failed to begin turning over its weapons. Amid doubts that the 8-week-old Northern Ireland administratio n could survive, the major Protestant party, the Ulster Unionists, accused the IRA-linked Sinn Fein of failing to deliver on its side of an American-brokered deal that led to the ir power-sharing Cabinet. The disarmament commission delivered its report - confirming that no specific acts of lRA disarmament had taken place - to the

British and Irish governments late Monday. They declined to make the report public Tuesday. In a statement. the IRA insisted its 1997 cease-fire should be sufficient grounds for Sinn Fein's continued place within the fourparty administration, the central goal of the 1998 Good Friday peace accord. The IRA said its representatives had met directly with Northern Ireland's disarmament commission three times since the Cabinet's formation and spoke by to its members by phone on Monday night. The outlawed group said it had consistently stressed the message "that the IRA's guns

are silent and that there is no threat to the peace process from the IRA." But the IRAgave no hint it intended to hand over a single bullet. much less its many tons of weapons stockpiled in hidden caches. The accord anticipated the IRA's total disarmament by May Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble said the British government now had a "regrettable but inevitable" choice: to suspend the Cabinet's powers in hopes fresh negotiations could produce a morn advance of the justcompleted report. not merely to talk about it with the commission's chairman , Canadian Gen. John de Chastelain.

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Outspoken populist Joerg Ha ider on Tuesday negotiated a deal to allow his far-right pa rty to share power in Austria's government - despite warnings from the United States ~1"2_d the European Union that such a move could lead to Austria's diplomatic isolation. Haider, leader of the rightist Freedom Party. and Foreign Minister Wolfgang Schuessel reached the agreement la te Tuesday on a proposed coalition government between Haider ·s Freedom Party and the conservative People 's Party. The deal can still be rejected by President Thomas Klestil, who could call new elections or propose other alternat ives. But he is u nlikely to do so, even though he fears the foreign backlash that would result from the Freedom Party's inclusion in the government. Earlier, while talks were still under way, the Clinton ad m inis tration warned that the United States would carefully examine its relations with Austria if Haider's party moved into a leadership position . State Department spokesman James Foley said the Unite d States is "continuing to keep the situation under review" and added that Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had called Schuessel on Tuesday . He offered no deta ils. Suspicion of Haider's par ty stems in part from his past hostility to the EU, his opposition to immigration and remarks sympathetic to aspects of Adolf Hitler 's regime. The EU's 14 other mem bers have threatened to isolate Austria politically if Haider's par ty gains power. Haider gained internat ional notoriety about 10 years ago by praising Hitler's "orderly " employment polic ies and lauding veterans of the murderous Waffen SS as "men of honor ." He has

WASHJNGTON (AP) - Mindf u l of the deba cle with the Susan B. Anthony coin, the U.S. Mint is aggressively marketing the new Sacagawea coin by placing it in Wal-Ma rt cash registe rs and boxes of Cheerios. "Right away, this gets the new golden dollar coin into cash registers across the nation ," said Philip Dieh l. director of the U.S. Mint. "We've ach ieved a huge objective in the first week . something the Susan B. Anthony do llar n ever ha d the chan ce to achieve ." The Anthony coin, often mistaken for a quarter because of its similar size and ridged edge , was a flop, and the government was stu ck with nearly two-thirds of the 857 million coins produced be tween 1979 and 1981. Supplies eventually ran out and the Mint produced a final 1999 en core run . The silver-colored coin bore the likeness of suffragette Susan B. Anthony. The new dollar coin , with an image of the Shoshone Indian woman who helped the Lewis and Clark expedition explore the West. has a gold -colored sur face and a smoo th edge. The Mint is shipping $100 million worth to Wal-Mart and the same amount to Federal Reserve banks , which in turn will distribute them to private banks . Diehl said the Mint p lans to produce as many as 1 billion coins this yea r. Since last Thursday, cash iers at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club store checkouts have been making change with the Sacagawea coin instead of dollar bills. And thousands of Che erios boxes will include coins or certificates for coins. "Through the end of Februa ry, we will be the exclusive holder," said Laura Pope. spokeswoman for Wal-Mar t Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer . "We're giving it back autom atically to customers unless you request dollar bills."

Court:Too-broad SALTLAKECITY (AP) - Police in Utah must give a judge a specific list of what they're looking for and how they intend to conduct their searches before setting up a traffic checkpoint, the state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday. The high court ruled on an appeal brought by Henry Thomas DeBooy, who was charged with possession of a controlled substance after his BMW _..., convertible was searched at San Juan County checkpoint in 1997. DeBooy submitted a motion to suppress the evidence, which the trial court denied. "c·' In its 3-2 decision, the Supreme Court threw out all evidence gathered against DeBooy at the checkpoint, ruling it was set up for too broad a list of purposes, unlike checkpoints focused on stopping drunken drivers or illegal immigrants.

"When many legal violations are searched for, the purpose of the checkpoint becomes less a highway safety measure and more a pretext to stop all vehicles to search for any and all violations of the law that might be apparent," Justice Christine Durham wrote in the court's opinion. "This generalized stop and search, of course, occurs without any individualized suspicion of a crime having been committed, much less probable cause."

The board approved an additional $1.25 for activities to the current $23.50 for students with eight or more credits in order to offset the change of appropriations coming to Student Activities from the Taggart Student Center _ Building Maintenance Fee, the proposal said. According to Public Relations Vice President Christina Domichel, student activities currently receives 80 percent of the TSC's building maintenance fee, The TSC can no longer afford to have activities taking such a large portion of its budget. Domichel said. The $2 increase will allow activities to continue to offer student-oriented programs. "I think with the increase we could diversify a little bit and cater to students who don't normally attend events," said Activities Vice President Mandy Leishman. During debate, the music/theater fee was pitted against the bus fee. Members debated on th .e value of each trying to decide which area benefited more students. "I think ·(the bus fee) should be fully funded based on the figures and the number of students served," Croshaw said. The fee proposed by the Music and Theater departments are divided into two halves. One part of the fee would go toward offering more availability of programs as well as maintaining the quality of programs, while the other half would be directed toward charging part -time students. Students taking one to six credits are currently not assessed any fee for music or theater productions. According to Anderson, since the fee is a new one for part -time students, the measure would have to be put to a student vote. "If you look,·this is the only fee that isn't applied at least partially to students with under six credits," Winward said. According to the proposal from Parking and Transportation Services. the bus fee will go toward buying additional buses to accommodate growth as well as helping to increase the pay of shuttle drivers. "(The fee) would go to maintaining the continuity of dri vers." said Vice President of Student Services Pat Terrell. "Right now if a driver calls in sick that shuttle might not run and students are left waiting for a bus that never

comes: Receiving partial funding and little opposition was the Western Surgery Center Building Fee. According to the proposal from Student Services, the fee will go toward helping to relocate the Student Health Center into the new building to allow for expansion of services to all students as well as better utilization of the space within the TSC. Another proposal that received no funding was the Technology Enhan cement Fee. According to Croshaw, the fee would have helped to defray costs the university incurs when students pay tuition with credit cards. According to Domichel, the university felt that students should absorb the 3 percent fee the university is charged when they use credit cards. Board members felt credit card payments save the uni versity money in staffing costs, so students should not be charged additional fees. "I think with all the other proposals on the board ... I just don·t feel very good about (the technology fee) and I don't think that it is something students should be paying for," Winward said. According to Fee Board Chairman Matt Malouf, the Fee Board recommendation will now go to President George H. Emert for approval before being activated for Fall Semester.

SPRINGVILLE.Utah (AP),Fqr Springville's youngsters, the hottest new music CD in town has nothing to do with pop, funk, rock or rap . It's yodeling. By the mayor. Mayor Hal Wing unveiled a CD last week titled "Hal Wing: The Happy Wanderer." Already known for his flamboyant style. Wing admits he may be "a bit on the zany side " with this one . But the mayor insists it's not a publicity stunt. He's donating proceeds from the sale of the CDs to Springville's youths . After just one day of sales, Wing had raised $200 that he put into a special account for youth programs in Springville . The CDs sell for $10 each. "If you want to help the youth or to drive unwanted company from your home, you can purchase one of these CDs," Wing told residents in his monthly online newsletter. But Wing, who travels extensively in Europe for business . does a pretty good job as a yodeler . Among the songs he performs are "Edelweiss," "Amazing Grace" and "O Tannenbaum ." On a yodeling cassette tape he put out six years ago, Wing also played the alphorn - the

Wing's 1994 cassette tape, "Alpine Yodeling Ballads," is filed in the city's library under "International." even though Wing was born and reared in Springville. While in Germany years ago, Wing entered a music store and asked for something that would help him learn to yodel. The clerk told him he was too old because most yodelers begin when they are children . But Wing attacked the problem with typical zeal.

Staff Writer

You're in elementary school again and the bell signaling your freedom for the rest of the day just rang. You dart out of the school's double doors in anticipation because you know in just a few minutes you'll be home watching "The Brady Bunch." "Diff'rent Strokes· and "Star Trek" reruns. Years later as a teenager, you're a fan of Superman, and horror flicks like Friday the 13th having seen every film at least twice. Now you think your quality time spent with Bobby and Jason is over, but wait! All of your favorite characters are coming soon to an area near you. Actors and directors from the film and television industry will be at the Utah State Fairpark on March 11 and 12 when Salt Lake City hosts its first annual Fanfest according to Catrine McGregor. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the park's Grand Building, celebrities from classic TV and horror and science fiction films will be interacting with Fanfest 2000 goers. McGregor, producer of FanFest 2000 and owner of the Salt Lake-based production company Harvest Entertainment, said she wanted to bring a FanFest to Utah

because every other state in the country hosts similar festivals. McGregor said celebrities in film are difficult to contact because it is ·very hard for agents to take you seriously." She has been in the "film business for 25 years," and was able to contact a variety of celebrities for FanFest 2000. Some of the celebrities available at FanFest 2000 for autographs and panel discussions are Margot Kidder, Superman's Lois Lane and Frank Gorshin, the Riddler in the original "Batman· television show Mike Lookinland who played Bobby Brady, and Todd Bridges who was Willis, Arnold's older brother in "Diffrent Strokes· will also be in attendance at the festival. Horror film stars like Ted White and Richard Brooker, both Jasons in Friday the 13th. Parts III and IV, will make their first appearance ever at a festival in the flesh. A complete list of FanFest 2000 celebrities can be found at the festivals Web site www.slcfanfest2000.com. The site also features a schedule of the events. According to McGregor, there will be a lot of activity during thr festival. For movie and toy memorabi]ia collectors, dozens of vendors will be selling vintage items, and Mike Lookinland, whose autograph is the hardest

Brady signature to obtain will be available for signings. A celebrity auction donating all proceeds to the Utah Adoption Exchange will take place on Saturday, March 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. McGregor said celebrity items and packages including dinner "with a star you're really in to· will be up for bid. For the eager Trekkise, George Takei, the original Mr. Sulu on television's "Star Trek," will speak at noon and 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 12. Tickets for the Takei discussions are available at Global Access in Holladay and Draper. Throughout the weekend, other FanFest 2000 celebrities will participate in panel discussions at the park's Heritage Theatre. McGregor said because the theater only seats 225 people, audience members will be able to freely interact with celebri ties. Admission to these discussions are included with your entry ticket. Tickets cost $22 for one day or $30 for both days, and can be purchased through Smith's TIX at 1-800-888-TIXX. For hockey fans, $29 will get a FanFest 2000 ticket as well as a ticket to the Utah Grizzlies game on Saturday , March 12.

The Wassermann Festival, presented on the campus of Utah State University, is a week-long symposium that provides pianists the opportunity to work with prominent guest artists in lecture and masterclass settings studying both piano literature and performance techniques. Interest in the five-day festival is wide ranging, from people who have a general appreciation of music from serious educators to students of piano study. The festival is open to the public and registration can still be completed, although the masterclass performance slots have been filled. This year's Wassermann Festival, under the direction of Dennis Hirst, is Feb. 22 through 26, with guest artists Charles Rosen and E.L. Lancaster. Two solo piano recitals are also offered in conjunction with the festival. The first features Utah pianist Eugene Watanabe (Feb. 25) and the second features Rosen (Feb. 26). Both recitals begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Kent Concert Hall of the Chase Fine Arts Center. General admission tickets are available at the door. The Wassermann Festival is an annual event at USU and its name honors Irving Wassermann, a former USU Music department and piano program head. The festival now focuses on bringing concert pianists and pedagogs for a week's residency at USU, Hirst said. An overview of the festival's lecture topics includes "Tempo in Mozart and Beethoven," "The Last Years of Chopin," "Brahms and the Classical Conventions," "Notation of Phrasing in Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin," "Teaching Musical Style to Young Pianists" and "Keyboard Study: Repertoire, Technique and More." Festival director Hirst is pleased to have Rosen and Lancaster as this year's guest clinicians. Rosen, he said, is a best-case example for the diversity that he hopes to find in guest artists. Ros~n. now retired and living in France, is still a sought-after guest clinician and a concert artist. "Ther·e are not many concert pianists whose

careers have been as diverse as Charles Rosen's.Hirst said. The breadth of Rosen's endeavors reflects a remarkable synthesis of performing musician, scholar, writer and lecturer, Hirst said. The format of the Wassermann Festival appeals to many established concert artists. When approached last year by the festival, Rosen reportedly said, -This is exactly what I want to do. I don't just want to go somewhere to play. I want to talk, share and teach." Rosen's concert career is impressive, Hirst said. He is one of the most widely respected and admired pianists of our time and has been internationally acclaimed for his performances and recordings of a diverse repertoire ranging from Bach to works by some of last century's most important composers. He is especially renowned for interpretations of Beethoven and the Romantic literature the works of Chopin, Schumann and Liszt. Hirst is equally excited to have Lancaster at . this year's festival. It was Lancaster's reputation that led Hirst to his graduate study at the University of Oklahoma. "E.L.Lancaster has established himself as a major piano pedagog," Hirst said. "He's the expert who can tell you how to take 8-year-olds and teach them how to play the piano." Lancaster recently assumed a new position as Vice President/Keyboard Editor-in-Chief at Alfred Publishing Company. From 1979-1998 he was a faculty member at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, where he taught piano pedagogy and coordinated the group piano program. He established the school's masters and doctoral program in piano pedagogy in 1980. He is the author or co-author of more than 125 publications designed for students of all ages from pre- school through adults. He has presented workshops for teachers around the world. There are several registration options for the Wassermann Festival. including day passes. The masterclass performers have been selected, but observers are still welcome at these sessions. For brochures or tuition information contact festival director Dennis Hir~t via email at dhirst@hass.usu.edu or by telephone, 797-3257.

Stranded motorists rescuedafternighttrappedbyavalanches ANCHORAGE.Alaska (AP)Nine motorists were rescued by a state police helicopter Tuesday after spending the night in their cars. trapped by huge avalanches that buried a highway. The travelers, who had kept in touch with rescuers by cellular phone as they waited along the Seward Highway, were flown out in three groups and taken to a diner for breakfast. They were in good condition. "We ate everything they had in the restaurant, and now we're

starting all over again," said Darwin Peterson. "I told my wife when we get back home, I'm not going as far as the post office for the rest of the winter." Some of the people wrapped up for the night in sleeping bags, while others were in a van that had a propane heater. They spent the time playing cribbage, getting acquainted and talking to troopers by phone. Most Alaskans carry warm clothing, sleeping bags and survival gear when they travel long

She said her group has found that most service members who declare their homosexuality, and thereby are removed from the service, do so because they feel threatened by an anti-gay environment in their workplace. ·~what is needed now is for leaders to enforce the harassment guidelines with commitment," Benecke said. Cohen instructed the services to develop new training guidelines last December amid widening criticism that adminis-

tration policy on gays in the military was not working. Cohen also asked each of the service's top civilian and uniformed leaders to issue statements to their troops reinforcing the policy against harassment of gays. In a joint statement, Air Force Secretary F. Whitten Peters and the Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Michael Ryan, said, "Harassment, threats or ridicule of individuals or groups based upon their real or perceived differences, including sexual orientation, have no place in the United States Air Force and will not be tolerated."

The true rewards of New Hampshire are momentum or simply validation of a candidate's campaign. New Hampshire's primary is the springboard to a five-week stretch of campaigning that could determine the presidential nominees. Fourteen states have contests on March 7 and half-adozen more on March 14. Voting began just after midnight in the tiny burgs of Hart's Location and Dixville Notch, where McCain and Bradley were awarded early leads among the 56 votes cast. Nearly four out of every 10 New Hampshire voters do not declare a party affiliation. and they were a potent attraction to insurgent candidates Bradley and McCain in a state that has a

history of knocking front-runners offstride. The Democrats were philosophical about their showdown. In advance of the vote count, Bradley said, "I feel like I'm ready for the verdict." Said Gore: "I have really done everything I know to do to get my message out." Voter interviews showed that the top quality sought by New Hampshire voters was a candi date who "stands up for what he believes in." Nearly as many voters were looking for a "strong and decisive leader."

In 1994, the first full year of "don't ask. don't tell," discharges totaled 617. They rose every year since until 1999. Michelle Benecke, executive director of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Fund , welcomed Cohen's approval of the training guidelines but said such guidance should have been made available to field commanders

distances in the winter. Blizzard conditions has prevented rescuers from dropping supplies such as food and blankets overnight. when temperatures dipped into the low teens. The rescuers had to wait for the wealher to clear to reach the motorists. Ten other motorists trapped by another avalanche elsewhere along the Seward Highway were rescued late Monday by a construction crew that used a frontend loader to clear away snow.

Alternating freezes and thaws in December created a base of crusty, unstable snow. and a series of storms deposited deep snow over the past week. The combination has created the worst avalanche danger in 20 years. Peterson. 70, and his wife, Geneese, had braved blizzard conditions Monday to make a 100-mile trip along the Seward Highway to Anchorage, where he was scheduled for leg surgery.

I decided over the Christmas break that being a sports writer has a few benefits the most important of these is I can justify sitting around all day, every day, watching sports. It's my job. Whenever my mom asked me to help with the dishes or take out the trash, I quickly respond by saying, "not now, I'm working." Now I know some of you may think that is ridiculous, so in order to justify (and yes I plan on sending this article to my mom, so she can appreciate my hard work) let me give you a taste of the fruit of my hard labor. December 28th 1999 - 8:'3'0 p.m.: While some of you were drinking egg nog, eating leftover fudge, and planning your dates for New Year's Eve, I was hard at work in my parent's basement watching the Pepperdine vs. UCLA basketball game. Perhaps some of you were also watching the game. If so, you saw its exciting end. UCLA won 68-66 on a controversial call . The controversy came as Perpperdine missed a 3-point shot, then grabbed the rebound and put in a layup as the buzzer went off. The official ruled the basketball went in after the buzzer. However , the instant replay proved otherwise . UCLA head coach Steve Lavin said after the game he was grateful there's no instant replay in college basketball. But just a month later, on Jan. 17, Villanova lost to Miami 6766 on a controversial 3-pointer at the buzzer. The replays seem to indicate Miami shot the ball after the buzzer . In light of the Miami-Villanova game, the NCAA decided to implement a new rule: Officials can review and change their ruling on a basket made at the final buzzer. I agree with Lavin, but perhaps for a different reason. An instant replay in the UCLAgame would have probably forced UCLA to play in overtime and they might have lost. Miami definitely would have lost their game, and that, my friends, would have been deeply wrong. Not because UCLAand Miami deserved to win their games, but because giving an official the power to ultimately de<.:icl~the outcome of a game defeats the basic premise of what sports is all about. Yeah, I know the official still has a lot of power making the calls he does, but that is different. The official is part of the game in basketball. He sees the game the same as everyone else does, and he does the best he can under those circumstances. Giving him the power to review and change his call would be making basketball like figure skating or gymnastics, where the judge or official is separate from the game and has all the power to decide the outcome. You see, in my mind there is an inherent difference between basketbal I, football, bowling, etc., and dancing, ice-skating, gymnastics and other such sports. The difference is the first group are sports and the second are exercises or competition. If a judge or official has to give a score or tell a team or individual they won, then they are not playing a sport. A sport is won or lost outright. So, all you "sports" fans be wary of these new rules being imposed by the NCAA and NFL. And remember the Dallas Cowboys should be the winner of the ESPN millennial team.

Prior to the four-game California and Idaho road trip. head coach Stew Morrill expressed some annoyance in the schedule. After posting wins in all four contests, only the second Utah State University team since the 1962-63 season to do so. Morrill said he enjoyed it - for eight to ten hours. Why? The reasons might be easy to see considering the Aggies opponents this weekend. At 6-0 in the Big West Conference and holding a two-game lead over their next competitor in the Eastern Division, USU (15-5 overall) will take on the only two teams who have a good chance of catching them: the University of North Texas (6-11) and New Mexico State University (13-5). "They immediately scared me." Morrill said. "These are the two best teams we've played so far." Both are 4-2 in the Big West after the Eagles (or the Mean Green, as they like to call themselves) tripped up the NMSU Aggies, who were picked by the media and the coaches to win the Eastern Division, 7573 Wednesday .

"Talent-wise, they're very impressive." he said. "These guys are more athletic than Idaho." Despite being a freshman, Davis was named BWC player-of-the-week after scoring 19 against NMSU and 25 vs. California State University at Fullerton. "He doesn't look like a freshman." Morrill said. Not to be overshadowed is 6-foot-6 sophomore Erskin who has scored 15 or more points in every game since Dec. 1. Meanwhile , the Aggies currently have no players in the top 15 in BWC scoring, getting their points from the five starters who all average 8.9 points a game or better.

The Utah StatesmanSPORTS Wednesday,Feb.2, 2000 on his head. The most intimidating thing that can happen in a game such as hockey is a good, solid, fair smack in the boards from one player to another . Slashing, high sticking, tripping, hooking, checking from behind and late checking is all so cowardly. Take the man to the boards, smash his face against the glass, leave him stammering for his name and skate away to help the team score while the other guy tries to gather his insides so he can get up and crawl to the bench. I've seen this method work. It happens in hockey all the time, and it also works well in lacrosse the other official sport of Canada. One legal hit can break a guy's arm. I've seen it. It's gross. And it's intimidating. Why can't USU's players do that? Side note - In Jan. 31 's edition of "Sports Illustrated" there's a section devoted to stupid things people are doing in sports. One of them involves the East Coast Hockey League. The New Orleans Brass brawls are being sponsored, yep, paid for, by a local Ford dealership. Now, everytime there's a fight, it's called a Regency Rumble. Does that scare anyone else?

FANS Continuedfrom Page9 Not that the Aggies are ever short of penalties of course. In Saturday's game, USU served 20 penalties to Utah's 14, and in a Weber State game back in September, the combined number of penalties soared to 23. So, we're doing better, right? In an NHL game, 10 penalties is generally considered excessive. Why does USU insist on playing its goonish brand of roller-derbyon-ice? Could it be ... (gasp) the Aggies, for the most part, have almost no idea how the game is really played? There are exceptions. Nate Anderson seems to be a fairly decent player. So does Eric Moldenhauer, but he spends his time in the net. So they have one non-goon player . Wow. I suppose the number of penalties can be linked to the intimidation factor. Scare the hell out of the other team, and they'll be so busy trying to clean their shorts they won't even notice the goals slipping through. Yeah, that's it. The only problem with that, of course, is that when a penalty is called on a player, he hurts his own team by taking them down a man for at least two minutes, if not longer, and giving the other team an opportunity to laugh at him sitting in the box with a 'Dunce' cap

FIGHTS Continuedfrom Page9 find ways to win, and that's the most important part. Fighting just happens to be what works most often for the Aggies. Considering they're sporting a 19-0-1 record, it's kind of hard to fault their methods. As for the fans, I have but one thing to say: Be fans, not New Yorkers. Give the players hell; it's your job . Get under their skin and annoy them to no end. That's what being a fan is all about. However, leave the batteries, pennies and all the other garbage at home. Inflicting pain is not your job as a fan, and once you start down that road, you're nothing but a Damn Yankee . No, this isn't NHL hockey. It's not even Utah Grizzlies hockey. The talent isn't as rich, but it is entertaining. Right now the Aggies are on the verge of something very special - a league championship - and everyone can appreciate that, whether they understand the game or not. Good luck in Colorado boys . Make us proud.

Braves' Rocker suspended

ATLANTA (AP)- The Atlanta Braves say the John Rocker case is closed. The players· association wants to open it back up . The union filed a grievance Tuesday to overturn Rocker's suspension, and the Braves returned to Turner Field to begin winter workouts. Commissioner Bud Selig banned the reliever from joining the team until May 1 because of disparaging comments against homosexuals, minorities and foreigners. 'Tm glad there's finally a decision," Braves manager Bobby Cox said. "Maybe we can get this behind us one of these days." But the players' union asked arbitrator Shyam Das to "rescind the discipline," fully aware that many suspensions by baseball i commissioners have been overturned or shortened .

Because of declines in unprotected anal intercourse, there has been a big reduction in high-risk exposure, Hecht said, but there is still plenty of lowrisk exposure through oral sex without condoms, "and that low risk adds up."

Chechen fightersabandonGrozny and escapeblockades ALKHAN-YURT,Russia (AP)- Several hundred Chechen fighters have abandoned positions in their embattled capital of Grozny and escaped despite a Russian blockade. Two , senior rebel commanders along with scores of their fighters stumbled into a minefield and were killed. About 2,000 Chechen fighters broke out and tried Tuesday to head south to join up with fellow rebels, battling federal forces attempting to prevent their escape with tanks and artillery. Russian reports estimated there were about 3,000 rebel fighters in Grozny last week. Other rebels stayed in the battered Chechen capital to keep up the fierce resis-

At least two prominent rebel commanders remained in Grozny with their forces, rebels said It was unclear how many rebels remained under their command . A large group of rebels got caught in a minefield on the outskirts of Grozny on Monday, and several prominent Chechen commanders were killed or badly wounded, witnesses said.

Among the Chechen commanders reportedly killed were Aslanbek Ismailov, who had headed Grozny's defenses, Khunkar-Pasha Israpilov, and Grozny Mayor Lecha Dudayev. Russian commanders denied that the rebels escaped; a main goal of the Russian offensive had been to wipe out the fighters in Grozny. The rebels who left Grozny are expected to join thousands of comrades in the south to go on fighting.

Clinton to ·ask $1.2billionfor Native Americans WASHINGTON (AP) President Clinton will ask Congress for $1.2 billion in new spending on American Indian programs, including hundreds of millions more to build schools, hire police and improve health care, a White House aide told tribal leaders. Clinton announced the Indian spending initiative in his State of the Union address last week but gave no specifics. That plan, to be included next week in Clinton's proposed 2001 budget, includes new or expanded Indian programs in nearly every federal agency, said Lynn Cutler, Clinton's top adviser on Indian issues. "It's important that we get every agency of the federal government thinking about Indians and employing Indian people," Cutler said Tuesday . "That's the only way we can have a true government-to-government relationship (with tribes) ." The proposed $1.2 billion increase would bring the total to more than $5.5 billion spread over a number of different programs. Details of the proposal

include $300 million to build at least six new reservation schools, $650 million for housing programs, a $117 million increase for road repairs, about $300 million more for the Indian Health Service and $103 million added to tribal law enforcement, Cutler said. She outlined the plan Monday to tribal leaders at a meeting of the United South and Eastern Tribes, which represents 23 tribes from Maine to Texas. But the head of the Interior Department's Bureau of Indian Affairs, the main agency fund ing tribal governments, was not as enthusiastic. "In all. I don't think it's anything to have a party over. because the needs in Indian Country are so great," said Kevin Gover, a Pawnee whom Clinton picked to head the BIA in 1997. Cutler acknowledged that Clinton's proposal fell short of meeting the needs of American Indians, who face far higher rates of poverty, unemployment and other social problems than the country as a whole. She said

the $1.2 billion plan is the largest increase in Indian funding ever proposed, and anything more would face stiff opposition in the Republican-controlled Congress. "The president wanted to do a whole range of initiatives in

this last budget. and this is what we had the money to do," she said. For example, the extra money for reservation roads will put only a tiny dent in the estimated $4 billion backlog of repairs.

Now , I realize tbat book demands are affected by the publisher and the circulation of used books, but let's stop think ing of the same old solutions to the same old problems. Publisher stops publishing, faculty buys new books . Wow , that's some problem solving at it 's very worst. Is there a way of standardizing the course material so that you can use the old edition as well as the newer one? Why can't the University publish its own text and recirculate it as demand warrants? I may be ill informed about the subject , but I know that when my professor says, "It ' s the same textbook, but the problem sets have been changed by the publisher so that we are forced to buy new ones." It's no wonder that we need to pay more tuition. In the competitive world that we live in, we can't simply "go with the flow " of the economic waste waters , unless we want to end up in the sewers. We need to be riding the crest on the wave of ingenuity. So, maybe the laws that govern the universe haven' t changed, but it's high time the ones that govern the purchasin g of new textbooks do .

Or try from the northeast gate of Yellowstone National Park to Red Lodge, Mont. This is the infamous Beartooth Scenic Byway. It ascends to 10,940 ft at Beartooth Passand has snow on the ground year round. According to Charles Kuralt, this is the " most Scenic highway in America." 2) Become an expert on the county you live in. Learn the history of the land, both human nd natural. Be familiar with the ins and outs of all the flora and fauna. Learn all of the roads, marked and unmarked. Know your home so well , that the other locals look to you for answers. 3) See the green fl ash and the aurora borealis. Islands in the Caribbean Sea are known for the green flash, a unique atmospheric event. Just as the sun touches the horizon, the sky seemsto flash green. In the northern latitudes, the aurora borealis, waves of color caused by electromagnetic radiation in the earth's atmosphere, permeates the sky. 4) Spend at least a day in every state in the U.S. One cannot fully appreciate a nation like the US with -

Fill it up with stamps from countries around the world. Have to have it replaced before it expires. Then do it again. 6) See, in its natural environment, the following: a grizzly bear, a wildebeest, a panda bear, a kangaroo, any kind of shark, a predatory cat in New World (i.e. a jaguar, mountain lion, ocelot, bobcat or lynx) and an albatross. 7) Learn how to properly use a sextant and a compass to guide you on sea or land. 8) Learn a foreign language. Better yet, learn it by being in an area that does not speak English at all. 9) See the major cities of the world 's empires.

The ;

USU activities this week from poetry to basketball SoclAL CALENDARINGWill-I ANN / Ann Bluemlein It is probably best to just give up on the snow concept this season. So forget all the great "build-as now - fort together" ideas and move on . Fortunately it is getting cold , so the classic invite for "cocoa and cookies" still holds true. Find someone at a social event and invite them home for cocoa and cookies. It can't hurt your social life! (Psycho people aside, that is). It is definitely a good week with TONS of events, from guitar concerts to classical music to poetry and a beverage to plain poetry. So get our your planner and pencil in two or three events. Schedule one with a friend. And Heather , lunch at Einstein's was great - even if it cost a small fortune. Wednesday - There is a "Guitars Unplugged" concert at 7 p.m. in the Taggart Student Center. It does cost $2, but go sel I plasma if you need fundage. Also at 7:30 p.m. there is a sureto-be-great music department recital at the Dansante Building (the pink one) downtown . Free, don ' t be afraid to go . And you can see the larger-than-life-size bust of Michael Ballam (famous Logan resident) in the lobby. Thursday- OK, this one does cost money. But you get something too . . Go to the TSC patio from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and you can get a bowl (handmade, so it's a colle ctible) AND fill it up twice with chili (vegetarian available) all for only $6. You can also attend the basket-

ball game (a classic date requiring not much talking , but a lot of ,clapping and yelling - perfect fo r the guy who doesn't want to talk much), Obv iously at the Spectrum. Friday - LDS readers attention! Last time John Bytheway came here is was a next-to-riot. So get your 1 ticket early ($1) and show up when 1 the doors open (at 7:30 p.m.). John's 1 show starts at 8 p.m. in the Kent Concert Hal l. If you are feeling rich and made I your goal of tw ice-a-week plasma 1 donation this time, try something fun like taking a social engagement (a.k.a. - boys take a girl out!) out to I eat. Cache Valley has a variety of I good, interesting places to eat· that are not all fast food. Drive north or 1 south and find some good local din- i ers. Talk to the waitress. Learn something new. Saturday- Poetry and a Beverage in the TSC Sky Room. Free, but you need a •ticket. This is a CLASSIC group date option because you get fun stuff to do at your table (crayons, games, etc.) and a free fun drink. Bring your favorite poetry and join in. Runs from 8 to 11 p.m. Another basketball game (have you noticed I am trying to support you .sports people more? It would help if you would send me a calendar or something). Tip off (that means the game starts then, but go early for the cheering when the team comes out, cheerleaders come out, etc.) is at 7:05 p.m.

Castro's family values 'CHARLES LANE / Special to The Washington Post T h e Cuban government firmly and sincerely supports the humanitarian value of family reunification. Or so it would seem, Judging by the energy and resources Havana has devoted to its international campaign for the return of 6-year-old castaway Elian Gonzalez from his relatives in Miami to his father in Cuba. But consider the Fidel Castro regime's behavior toward Luis Grave de Peralta Morrell and his family. In 1989, Grave de Peralta, a physicist, returned home to Cuba from an academic exchange in Italy. Having been able to read Western news accounts of the changes in Eastern Europe and the uprising in China, he was disgusted to find Cuba's official press attacking perestroika and justifying ti)_~ massacre at Tiananmen Square. So he resigned fr6m the Cuban Communist Party. Fired from his university, Grave de Peralta spent the next half-year researching and writing a 200-page manuscript in which he documented self-contradictions and lies in Fidel Castro's speeches and writings. State security agents arrested Grave de Peralta and charged him with "rebellion through peaceful means" - that's a crime in Cuba - and, in 1992, sentenced him to prison. Declared a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International and the Committee on Human Rights of the National Academy of Sciences, Grave de Peralta was released in January 1996 after then-Rep. Bill Richardson personally intervened with Castro. As a condition of his release, Grave de Peralta was required to emigrate, but he was told his family could

such women. "We definitely need some guidance in women who've already had a first cancer and I think this begins to open that discussion,"she said Because women who carry the mutations have a high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, some healthy women have chosen to have their breasts or ovaries removed just in case. Ovary removal may help guard against breast cancer because it curbs production of estrogen. which encourages tumor growth. A University of Pennsylvania study published last year found that healthy BRCAlwomen who had had their ovaries removed could reduce the breast cancer risk by about 70 percent. But ovary removal induces menopause, which could put young women at risk for early development of brittle bones and heart disease.

Schrag estimates that women already diagnosed with BRCAlinked breast cancer are two to eight times more likely to develop cancer in the opposite breast than women with non-genetic breast cancer. They face similar or even higher risks for developing ovarian cancer. The authors estimated that women first diagnosed with genetically-linkedbreast cancer at age 30 who undergo removal of their ovaries and opposite breast and take the cancer drug tamoxifen for five years would see the most gains in life expectancy - between 1.1 and 4.4 years. For women who choose removal of the second breast only, the range in gains was esti-
