What's that smell? Fermented hay causes students, faculty to plug their noses KEVIN PEEL

Staff Writer

There was something in the air this past week, and it wasn't jasmine or the scent of

lilacs. Beginning early last week, Utah State University Research Farms spread chopped and fermented hay around several fields in the area surrounding 800 East and 1400 North .

While the operation relieved the farm of overly matured feed that the animals wouldn't eat, it left USU students holding their coats to their faces against more than cold weather. Economics major Sarah Wright, a resident of an apartment building near the farms. said, "I talked to three or four people who checked their shoes because they thought they'd stepped in something ." The smell affected people inside campus buildings as well as ou t. On Thursday morning. a Physical Plant crew responded to a comp laint from a faculty member on the fourth floor of the Education

Building that a sewage-like smell was annoying the office staff The crew closed a vent that was allowing outside air to flow into the building from the roof. According to Scott Nydegger , a shop foreman at the Plant, the air intakes were facing north and the fans were picking up outside air. "It was a one-time deal ." Wallace Kohler, Research Farms assistant director said about the silage dump. "When it was harvested , we couldn't wait for the hay to dry so it could be bai led . The feed value was not what we wanted it to be ." About 150 acres are farmed

by univers ity researchers around the Nor th Logan area . The Agricultural Experiment Station also serves as a hub providing land and suppor t for 16 different research farms and 50 agricu ltural researche rs around the state. USU began as, and rema ins, a federa l land-grant university. According to Kohler, tha t make~ it "the only university in the state tha t has the mission to do agricultural research . We still have that mission." Wh ile that mission continues , students may occasiona lly have to face the price of research - noses plugged and eyes wide open.

Committee to decidefateof Housing's controversial 'Toasted' program 00UGSMEATH

Assistant FeaturesEditor

A committee formed at Utah State University is trying to make officially sanctioned on-campus drinking a little easier for the public to swallow Representatives from USU Housing Services, the USU Police Department, the

Student Wellness Center, the Counseling Center, the Student Health Center , Associated Students of USU and the Student Activities Board have come together to discuss the future of the controversial "Toasted· program, said John Ringle, associate director of USU Housing and Food Services. The committee has a few

options concerning the future of the "Toasted" program . Ringle said. The option it decides on will be given as a recommendation to Assistant Vice President for Student Services Gary Chambers. One option Ringle said the committee can choose from is a complete termination of the program. Another is to

keep the program as is. A third option, he said. is to keep the program, but with modifications . Ringle said the committee has been sent a description of these options and been asked to comment on them. He said the committee has about a week to respond. The committee members will then vote on the option they

wish to recommend to Chambers. "Toasted" is run by the USU Police Department. Officers from the department find a volunteer's body weight, height and other things that affect how easily that student would get legally drunk. Then they give the volunteer just about - but not

Recommendations for Quality Growth," were published through Sutherland Institute in October 1999 . The study focuses on seven areas of concern: air quality , water, transportation, urban ization and farmland preservation , open space preservation, financing infrastructure and zoning . Simmons said a popular myth about air quality is that with more cars and longer commute times in suburban areas, the quality of the air is going to get worse . Simmons said he found the exact opposite to be true . According to his study , suburban drivers may drive more miles, but they travel in free-flowing traffic. High-density areas are often sites of stop-and-go traffic causing cars to burn fuel less efficiently.

Along with air quality is the concern about public transportation . W ith the new light ra il system in Salt Lake, Simmons said he isn't sure it's the best solution . "It's a status symbol," Simmons said. According to his study, the national commute time on a light rail is 45 minutes, compared to a 21-minute commute time by car . Light rails, said Simmons . are inflexible with permanent stops. They also don't allow for the often complex commutes such as dropping off dry cleaning , picking up children at day care and getting groceries on the way home, Simmons said. He said light rails almost always benefit the middle and upper classes. The average rider on a city bus

is a minority woman making $15,000 a year , while the average light rail rider is a white male making $60,000 a year , Simmons said, speaking of Los Ange les, a comparable city to Salt Lake in terms of commute patterns and layout. The subsidy price of a bus per rider is approximately $ 1.15. The price is approximately $22 00 per light rail rider, Simmons said. "Look at the size of the subsidy you gave the guy who left the Lexus in the garage," he said. Water is another topic of interest throughout the state . Questions that are being .raised are water conservation and the best way to promote it as well as maintaining water supplies for the future .

A review of problems involving the device over the last 20 years show jamming is rare but has never driven a plane totally out of control. An Associated Press examination of aviation records found that at least 20 inflight problems with stabilizers were serious enough to be reported to the Federal Aviation Administration or the NTSB since 1979. In two-thirds of those cases, the flights reached their intended destination. Others made emergency landings, including an American Airlines MD-83. which returned to Phoenix minutes after taking off Tuesday. More than a half dozen involved jets made by McDonnell Douglas, which also built the MD-83 that crashed off Southern California. Five of those cases involved planes with stabilizers mounted high on the tail, like the MD-83.

World GLANCE >- Israel-Palestinian peacesummit _unravels EREZCROSSING. Gaza Strip (AP)- Less than a month after one much-touted lsraeli -Arab peace initiative crumbled, another dissolved Thursday into mutual recriminations - and the comprehensive Mideast peace Prime Minister Ehud Barak promised by year's end seems further away than ever. Palestinians said peace talks were in "crisis" after Barak refused to budge on terms for an interim territory withdrawal during a tense two-hour summit with Yasser Arafat at this Israeli military outpost on the Israel-Gaza borde r. It was the second peace blow for Barak in three weeks - talks with Syria went into deep freeze in mid-January - and he scrambled to deflect Palestinian talk of a dead end. "I am convinced that this barrier will be overcome:·Barak told senior officials of his Labor Par ty. "There is a deep interest by both sides." The Palestinians want the pullout from 6.1 percent of the West Bank outlined in an interim agreement signed in September to include populous Arab suburbs of Jerusalem. The Israelis refuse, at least for now. "Once the confidence and credibility and integrity of the peace process become absent. the clement of trust disappea rs and both sides find themselves in a crisis situation, and that's where we are now," lead Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said in an interview.

WASHINGTON (AP) - NASA administrator Daniel Goldin said the U.S. will launch its own service module to the Internat iona l Space Station late this year if Russia fails to put up a module by this summer. .

But if th ey fail, he said, the ~.S. ~il_l_beready. . The Russian part of the space station 1mt1allyfell behmd schedule because the government failed to prov ide the funds to meet the commitment. The effort was further delayed recently by two failures of Proton rockets, the launcher the Russians will use to put the modu les in orbit. Also, the Russians have diverted some equipment that was supposed to go to the space station for use in maintaining the aged Mir space station. . . Goldin said that he is waiting to see if the Russians are senous about fixing the Proton and then launching the service module before the U.S. puts the final touches on an American service module. He said the Russians will have a launch readiness review later this month.

Mayor speaks about community issues KATHRYN SUMMERS

Staff Writer

LoganCity MayorDougThompson was in the TaggartStudent Center Thursday to answer student questions about local issues. Thompson talked about matters of concern to students and answered questionsfrom the audience. The first problem to come up was booting. "Wehave been trying to resolvethe problemsstudents have with booting and the problemsof apartment managers,"Thompson said. Thompson said trying to resolve problemsby talkinghas been ineffective.He is proposingan ordinance to the city councildealingwith booting. The ordinancewould require the rules be establishedand wellknown. Good signsat the entrances of parking lots alerting people to the possibilityof bootingwould be required,he said. The ordinance would also require the boater to make information available on how to contact him and the exactchargesto remove the boot Another question concerningthe boater is, "What is the appropriate charge?"Thompson said. The citywould like to set the hooter's fee at $40. Thompson said the boaters argue the city has no right to regulate the chargesof a business,but students need regulationto prevent abuses. The city has to try to balance the needs of the hooter and students,he said.. The mayorwas asked if the parking policywould be changed to allow parkingwhen there is no snow.With theunusuallywarm winter,many people park on the streets overnightand are dismayedto see a ticket on their

car in the morning. Thompson said the policywon't be changed this year because the months of winter regulationare almost over. He said the councilwilllook at changing the policythis summer. Parkingon the street is convenient for many people,but having the street free of cars at night is important for clearingsnow to make streets accessible for public safetyvehicleslike fire trucks, ambulancesand policevehicles,he said. Thompson said the ordinance is ·making the communitysafer: but creatingconflictsfor those who need street parking. He also said the city is trying to workwith apartment complexesthat don't have enough parkingfor the tenants. Severaltimes when students were concernedabout an issue,the mayor urged them to callhim, or come in to discussit. "If you have a problem,come in and talk: he said. He gavethe number of his 24-hour hotline. For any questionsor problems, call750-7144and leave a message.The messagesare checkedat least two times daily.

The issue the committee must face is whether USU a "dry campus," or a campus on which any use of alcohol is forbidden - is justified in supporting a program that involves getting an individual drunk on campus. The question is, "Should we be utilizing alcohol for educational purposes?" he said. Ringle said "Toasted" can be a valuable learning experience for participants, which is why Housing and USU Police originally supported the formation of the program.

'Panic:' Does Neve Campbell always have to play a lesbian? Movie Review Staff Writer

ANDY MORGAN

At the Sundance Film Festival,they have press screenings in a suffocating little theater they call the "black box: Not only is the room domineering and incredibly casket-like, but the chairs are reminiscent of some medieval torture device and cause butt-numbness after an hour of sitting. My guess is they want the press to be really objective of the films they sample and what better way to be honest and forthright than enduring a movie like Panic with thoughts of the inquisition running through one's mind? Panic isn't that great, and that's not the accommodations talking. Although it begins with wonderful intentions and peaks from time to time, I could not help but feel that writer/ director Henry Bromell gave up halfway through the film. Strange,

/ Grade:C+ too, because the movie had so much potential. The story revolves around Alex (William H. Macy)who has just begun seeing a shrink in the hope of ending an apparent mid-life crisis. Not only is his relationship with his wife deteriorating, but he is also thinking about quitting the family business. No big deal, except that the family business is murder. Ever since Alex can remember, his father (Donald Sutherland) has been a hit man. His childhood memories fixate around dear old Dad making him knock off squirrels, prepping him for a life as a murderer-for-hire. Whereas Alex feels good when he succeeds at his father's occupation, it is perceptible that he completely J!tmpto Pmc.Page6._

Country-western singer Kathy Mattea to join Utah Symphony in two upcoming concerts DEBBIE LAMB

Staff Writer When the Utah Symphony comes to mind so does classical music. But, according to Katie Sadler, promotions director for the Utah Symphony, this symphony has found ways to engage country music fans and children in order to gain a larger audience. r The Symphony will host Kathy Mattea and a tribut~ t'o Valentine's Day in concert on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 11 and 12, at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall. "The first half of the concert will feature Tchaikovsky's 'Sleeping Beauty Waltz,' Prokofiev·s ·suite from Romeo and Juliet,' 'Theme from Dances with Wolves· and a new arrangement of 'Unchained Melody,' in honor of Valentine 's Day," Sadler said. Following the orchestral music section by Associate Director Kory Katseanes, Mattea will perform some of her greatest hits. Sadler said Mattea is part of the Symphony's Pop Series. "We usually try to have someone come with more of a country background once in the Pop Series." Sadler said. ·we like to have a variety of people for the variety of tastes." Born in West Virginia. Mattea moved to Nashville in

1978 in hopes of starting a career as a country-western vocalist. according to a press release. Her first album was released in 1984 and was followed by "Walk the Way the Wind Blows· and "Untasted Honey," according to the release. Many of Mattea's pieces have been arranged to blend with the Symphony, Sadler said, and the orchestra enjoys playing the music. While people with a love for country music can enjoy a new sound to the old songs they love, Sadler said the Symphony has not forgotten to include music for all ages. especially children. On Feb. 12, the Utah Symphony will be host a Family Music Fair and two ·Lollipop Concerts." The Lollipop Concerts will , be held at 11 a.m and 12:30 p.m., Sadler said. "The Lollipops Concerts started back in 1940 when the Symphony was founded." said Steven Ireland, marketing manager for the Utah Symphony. The concerts are two 50 minute plays back-to-back for children three to 10. Ireland said. Almost all of the concerts have a specia l guest. either a puppet or a person in costume. he said. "The reaction is wonderful," Ireland said. ·we see children just love them, and

the parents love them because it's so unique. Each program is designed to be very visual." There wil also be an instrument petting zoo, where children can play with the instruments. Sadler said. The Family Music Fair is designed to bring families together and to teach them about music and the Utah Symphony. Ireland said. Last year was the first year of the Family Music Fair. Ireland said. JJ There was such a great response that it is going to become a tradition. he said. Students who come to the concerts may walk away with a better appreciation for music, but most of all, they will learn a new part of culture, he said. "The Utah Symphony is one of the top orchestras in the country." Sadler said. "Coming to concerts is a good culture experience." "The next Pop Series concert will be Lorna Luft." Sadler said. "She is the daughter of Judy Garland and will be performing music from her mom." Tickets for the concerts can be purchased through Art Tix at (801) 333-ARTS or 1-888-451-ARTS or at the Art Tix outlets at Abravanel Hall or the Capitol Theatre. Kathy Mattea concert tickets are $19 to $36. The Lollipop Concert tickets are $5 to $9.

Take a classicscript,add a director'sfresh vision,mix in hours of hard work,and you'll get Utah State University's production of "Our Town." The USUTheatre department is preparing its version of Thornton Wilder'sclassicplay to open Feb. 17. Accordingto the show'sdirector and stage manager, what the audience willsee on opening night is just a taste of all that is involvedin the total production. The first ingredient in the production is Wilder'swellseasoned script. DirectorAnne Berkeleycalledthe play ·a classicin modern Americantheater." The popular show has been produced hundreds of times acrossthe country since its first performance in 1938. Berkeleysaid Wilder'sstory reminds audiences not to overlookthe simple pleasuresof everydaylife. "Wilderaffirms the beauty of having the opportunity to live,"she said. Berkeley,who is an assistantprofessorin the Theatre department, also said much has changed culturallysince Wilderwrote the play. Those things Wilder felt would forevercreate identity and belonging- family,church and community - are vanishingin today'sglobaleconomy. While the play stillprovidessome answers,Berkeley said, "in other waysit fallsshort." Berkeleywants to addressthe play'sshortcomingsby adding her own spice. As director,she has introduced fresh costumingand sound ideas "to givea sense of history and change"to the play. While Wilderwas making a statement with "Our Town," Berkeleysaid she wants to conveymore of a question. "Ina globaleconomywhere our foundations are changing, how does one forgea sense of identity and belonging?" she asked.

loathes killing and finds it more appalling that he must keep the truth from his wife (TracyUllman). Alex's life only turns worse when he meets Sarah (Neve Campbell), a 23-year-old bisexual nut case. Both sense the mutual attraction and begin a love affair that gives Sarah needed security and Alex a respite from life's daily grind. However,things are not that simple and easy as Alex's father discovershe has been seeing a therapist (John Ritter) and orders Alex to perform a hit on the burley psychologist. He is also aware of his son's adulterous liaisons with Sarah and threatens to leak information to his wife if he quits the family business. It is important to note that from about this point in the film on, there is no direction or bearing for the remainder of it. The picture that is painted by Bromell's unsteadiness_is one of hurried, frantic film making and storytelling. It seems as if Bromell carefully designed the first portion of the screenplay and then got so excited it was

good that he forgot to finish. Therefore, perhaps the actual panic in the film Panic is laid out in the last 15 or 20 minutes. Not only does Bromell race to finish a semi-good romp through a dysfunctional and non-traditional family,but the walking case of irritable bowel syndrome, Alex,speeds through and leaves us feeling disheartened and empty at an ending we weren't expecting. The acting is good, with Sutherland being his usual creepy self (see Backdraft) and Macy doing his best imitation of Sutherland. The similarities between the two actors are incredible,

with the only difference being their age. Tracy Ullman's portrayal of Alex's confused and bewildered wife is a welcome reprieve from her HBO program, "Tracy Takes On." As for Neve Campbell, she ends up portraying the same person she has in all her other films (Scream, Scream 2, Wild Things) and even her TV series ("Party of Five·). The verdict has yet to be decided on Campbell: Is she another pretty face or can this girl really act? While Panic was good, it wasn't great. If this flick happens to hit theaters , wait until the discount.

It looks like NBClatenighter Jay Leno isn't going to get that free ride during the February sweeps after all. A well-informedsource tells The TV Column that David Letterman could be back behind the desk of his CBS late-night talk show as soon as Valentine'sDay. Letterman, who exited CBS's"LateShow"unexpectedly 2 1/ 2 weeks ago for emergencyquintuple-bypass surgery,was seen back in his office on Monday,sporting a full beard, our sources say. Accordingto one of our spies, the avid runner called his doctor last week to see when he could start pounding the pavement again. This may be nuts for Letterman, but it's very good for CBS.Recoverytime for his type of surgery can run up to eight weeks,which left the network facing four weeks of "LateShow"reruns during the upcoming sweeps contest, when ratings are used to set ad rates f0r the coming months. The February derby starts Thursday night and ends on March 1. Instead, the network may be looking at giganticratings when Dave comes back - a fact not lost on publiciststo the stars, who will no doubt clamor to get their clients booked on the show that night. How big are we talking here? We're talking even bigger than on Jan. 12, when Letterman snagged Hillary Rodham Clinton for the show, yielding 11 million viewers_ the largest "LateShow"audience since Dave's first week on CBSin August 1993.back when he was pounding Leno. Thanks to that one night, Letterman beat Leno for the week - for the first time since 1995. Letterman's publicist,Steve Rubenstein, confirmed that his client went to the office on Monday. "Dave'sdoing great," he said. Askedwhen the GapToothed One might be back on air, Rubenstein said ·sooner rather than later" but that no date had been set.

Slr Charles is returning for one last hurrah. i;'.:harlesBarkley told ESPN's Dan Pa~rick he wants to play in the Rqtket's final game of the season. "That's it," Barkley said. "I'm not going to play anymore. What I want to do is play my last game and walk off the court under my strength, instead of being carried off." One final game - and then the memories are all we'll have left. Sir Charles will leave the building. And with this final game, Barkley will distinguish himself from all the other athletes who have gone before him. We watched Michael Jordan drain his famous final shot over Brian Russell, but never knew for sure whether it would be his last. We speculated, but it wasn't a sure thing. Now, after his retirement, Jordan's final shot in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA finals · a shot which won Chicago its sixth championship of the decade - has reached legendary status. But with Barkley, we'll know what we're watching. We'll appreciate all too well what's going on. He's giving us one last thrill - 16 years of NBA action recapped in o~e game, then gone like dust in the wrnd. I suspect it might be a little like the final scenes in Field of Dreams, when James Earl Jones explains to KevinCostner that people will come from all around. They'll bring their children, not even completely understanding why they're coming, save it be to catch one last glimpse of the glory days. Families will drive from miles away and file into the arena and watch Barkley's every move. And if at first they don't truly understand why they've come, they will after Sir Charles backs down into the post for one last time, reaches his right arm around his defender and spins along the baseline for one final layup as time expires. Little 6-foot-4 Barkley, schooling the NBA's tallest. Fans will return home, pondering the games of yesteryear. An era when Birds ruled the court, and Magic filled the air. A time when egos weren't created by paychecks, but by true competition. A generation of NBA players who stood for something more than sex, drugs and rap music. For one night, we'll remember what it was like when we were kids. We'll remember when Larry Bird robbed a championship from the Detroit Pistons by stealing the inbounds pass and dishing to Dennis Johnson for a layup as time expired. And how Jordan defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers with a fading jumper from the left side of the freethrow line with Craig Elo in his face. And how he rubbed it in with his on-court celebration as he jumped in the air and pumped his fists in excitement whle his teammates rushed to his side. Or how Magic Johnson beat the Boston Celtics with a running hook shot in the middle of the key,. the way he said he'd always dreamed of doing it. Barkley is the last player from that generation, and he's going to treat us to one last night of pure, unadulterated Chuck. • But it's one night and one night only, so mark it on your calendar now. Thanks Chuck.

With two meets in four days. many less experienced athletes will have a shot at competition. The Utah State University gymnastics team travels to California State University at Sacramento today before returning to Logan to compete against the University of Utah in the Spectrum Monday. Utah State has defeated CSUSall four times the two teams have met, but this will be their first meet on Sacramento turf. ..We have to learn how to win on the road. and that means getting out of our comfort zone and making sure that the team sticks and bonds together," USU head .coachRay Corn said. Currently the Aggiesare 11. After losing to Utah on the road they opened their meet against Boise State University with two strong rotations, but struggled on beam and floor. However,their performance was good enough to walk away with the win. Sacramento State is 0-2. Freshman Kristen Bloom. who made her collegiate debut against Boise State on Saturday, will be USU's only all-arounder against CSUS. Bloom's 38.725 against BSU placed her second behind teammate Christy Denson. Corn said he plans to use as many different gymnasts as

Last Saturday evening myself and two friends were driving down to Ogden to support the USU hockey team. As we were traveling through Sardine Canyon, our car broke down and we were forced to pull over to the side of the road. Fortunately we were able to call home on our cell phone, and we contacted one of our parents so they could come and rescue us. Meanwhile , while we were waiting, an unsuspecting person, Hunter Checketts (a Utah State University student), saw our poor car and pulled over to see if we needed any help. He immediately had a look at our car's engine and got out his tools to see if he could solve the problem. It was very cold outside, but he did not seem to mind. He let us wait in his warm car so we would not get

NATIONALCoMMENTARY/ SacramentoBee Race is a socio1og i ca I, not bio1og i ca I, construct. The leading theory of human origin postulates that we are all descended from the same ancestral Eve, a woman born in Africa 100,000 to 200,000 years ago. Thus, we are all related; we are al I multiracial. To be biologically precise we are all one race. That said, the sociology of race remains a powerful force; throughout history, it has been a mostly negative one. What is different today - reflected in a new study by the Public Policy Institute of California is a welcome shift in attitude toward more racial tolerance. The tolerance is documented by the

Hunter was traveling to Logan, but he didn't seem to mind the idea of taking us all the way to Ogden. Because one of our parents was coming, we didn't take him up on the offer. But he was more than willing to take us. Finally, he offered to call a friend of his who had a truck to help tow our car away. As if he hadn't done enough already. This experience helped renew our faith in the human race. There truly are wonderful, nice people out there, even here at our very own USU. I am sure there are many people Iike Hunter, and they never get recognized. Therefore we wanted to say thanks one more time to Hunter Checketts.
