Career Services offers internship help LAURABELLAMY

SeniorNe-t0sWriter With snow still on the ground. most students aren't even thinking about what they are going to do this summer. According to Assistant Director of Career Services Melissa Scheaffer. students in all majors should consider doing a summer internship, and Career Services is the best place to go for assistance. "It's probably one of the most important things a student can do not only for their academic preparation, but also for their career," Scheaffer said. According to Scheaffer, Career Services, on the first floor of the University Inn, has several different resources to .help students in their internship search. ·we provide a kind of cradle-to-grave guidance," Scheaffer said. "However, we don't get an internship for you because an employer is not hiring me, they're hiring you. But we do assist you." Scheaffer said one of the best resources for students is the Career Services Web page at www.usu.edu/ career.html "The Web site is a really good place to start because it offers students a chance to look at different opportunities by college." Scheaffer said. ·u is also at the student's convenience. They can check the Web site at one in the morning if they want to: Students are also assigned a career adviser to help them in their internship and job search, Scheaffer said.

"Allstudents need to do is walk into the center and say, Tm a biology major." Scheaffer said. ·we take it from there and meet one-onone with the students to personalize their needs." Scheaffer said students can find internship positions on the Internet. but should work with their career adviser to help them get the position. "In applying for any internship, students should visit their career advisor to help them with their resume and follow-up," Scheaffer said. "We teach students how to write effective cover letters and to write proper thank you notes after an interview also: According to Scheaffer. an internship makes students more competitive as well as helping them to secure permanent employment. "Nationwide, about 70 percent of students that do internships get job offers from the employer," Scheaffer said. "As far as career strategies. internships are a great idea." According to Scheaffer. the average starting salary at graduation for students who have completed an internship is 9 percent higher than those who do not. Scheaffer said internships are becoming more highly reg;:mied as several schools, like Westminster College in Salt Lake City, require them of every graduate. "There are some departments, such as the Business Information Systems, that do require students to complete

Favero spoke to students in the Eccles Conference Center Tuesday as part of Business Week. Favero. a native of Utah, worked for IBM and started Integrated Systems Solutions Corporations (!SSC ) prior to working for Netscape. Favero .spoke to students about change in business and the future effects it will have. "Never before have we seen change like we do today," Favero said. The impact of change on the work force cannot be underestimated, he said. According to Favero. the workplace has moved from a physical to a virtual environment "The key is how to respond to the change," he said. Continual change will allow success. Favero said. He advised students to take their job definition and expand it immediately by being flexible, adaptable and by learning new skills. "There is a crying need today for ethics and integrity," Favero said. "A stellar reputation is important because the business world is getting smaller and smaller.

6-year-old shoots classmate MOUNT MORRIS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP)- In a school shooting made more shocking by the age of the youngsters involved, a 6year-old boy pulled a gun from his pants and shot a little girl to death Tuesday in front of their horrified firstgrade teacher and classmates . The boy fired a bullet from a .32-caliber gun inside Buell Elementary near Flint, 60 miles from Detroit, striking 6-year-old Kayla Rolland in the neck. She died a halfhour later. The boy. whose name was not released, was taken into the custody of the state child welfare agency after the shooting. Prosecutors did not say how they think the boy got the gun, though they said it had been reported stolen in December and was in the

boy's home. Genesee County Prosecutor Arthur A. Busch said there may have been "some sort of scuffle or quarrel on the playground" between the boy and girl a day earlier. He said five pupils were in the classroom preparing to leave for the library when the shooting occurred . The teacher was standing in the doorway when the boy, who had the gun tucked in his pants , pointed it at a pupil, Busch said. The boy then turned toward the Kayla and fired the only bullet in the gun, the prosecutor said. The boy ran into a bathroom and dropped the gun into a trash can, Busch said. School personnel held the boy until authorities arrived. A girl who identified herself as a classmate, 6-year-old Haili Durbin, told The

Associated Press that Kayla had yelled at the boy because he spit on her desk and stood on it. She was interviewed with her father present. School Superintendent Ira A. Rutherford told reporters at the police station that the girl's version of events Was inaccurate. Police Chief Eric King said he had not heard of the girl or her story. He said investigators had interviewed the children who were in the class at the time of the shooting, and she was not among them. Regardless of what the investigation reveals, it may be impossible to bring charges against the boy, the prosecutor said. But he said someone may face charges for enabling the boy to obtain the gun. "There is a presumption in law that a child ... is not

criminally responsible and can't form an intent to kill. Obviously. he has done a very terrible thing today, but legally. he can't be held criminally responsible," the prosecutor said. "We will get to the bottom of how that gun got into that little boy's hands." The boy is by far the youngest gunman in a series of deadly school shootings that have rocked communities around the country over the past three years . In 1998, two boys, 11 and 13, opened fire at a middle school in Jonesboro, Ark., killing four girls and a teacher . "Where does it stop? Firstgraders shooting firstgraders . The culture of violence is manifesting itself here with what occurred,'' said Sam Riddle, a

The officers who were acqu itted Friday testified they thought Diallo was reaching for a gun when they confronted him in the vestibule of his Bronx apartment building. Diallo actually was clutching his wallet. Meanwhile, Diallo's parents , their attorneys and the Rev.

> 15-year-old getslengthy murder sentence UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) - A 15-year-old boy. believed to be the youngest person ever tried for two separate murders in Maryland , learned Tuesday that he would likely spend the rest of his life in prison. "In both of the deaths , both jur ies agreed ," said Prince George's County, Md., Circuit Court Judge Graydon S. McKee before sentencing Travis Lionel Savoy to life in prison , plus 40 years for crimes committed within two months of the ninthgrade dropout's 14th birthday. Savoy was sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years for the robbery and murder of Javier Eduardo Castillo , 33, a pizza deliveryman gunned down momen ts after he made a delivery to a Bladensburg apartment where Savoy was a guest. "All Mr. Castillo ever wanted was to live free in the United States ," said Peter Torres, a brother-in-law of the victim . Castillo first came to the United States in 1994, seeking political asylum from his native Peru . McKee also sentenced Savoy to 20 years in prison for the murder of Dominick Elliout Hiers, 16, a former classmate who witnesses say drew Savoy·s wrath when he failed to return a borrowed handgun. Although Hiers' mother and other relatives were in the courtroom they d id not address the court, opting instead to have the prosecutor voice their support for the maximum pena lty. He is a young man who really has "a lack of conscience," said Assistant Maryland State's Attorney, William M. Manico. "Mr. Savoy will probably serve the longest life sentence ever in the state of Maryland, " said defense attorney Antoin i M. Jones, contending the consecutive sentences looming decades into his client's future represent "cruel and unusual punishment," moments before pulling a notice of appeal from his briefcase. Jones said the evidence was insufficient to warrant a first degree murder conviction in the Castillo case, and a flawed verdict of second degree murder in the Heirs· case are grounds for appeal.

> RainsopsSanFrancisco a record 21 days SAN FRANCISCO(AP) - San Francisco set a soggy record Tuesday. the 21st day in February that rain has fallen on the city. Of course . the record will go into the books with an asterisk. because this February had 29 days. The city's rainfall total is 23 percent above normal levels for this time of year, thanks to a series of storms that have drenched the California coast relentlessly throughout February. 'They're just zinging along straight across the Pacific," said Shane Snyder. a meteorologis t with the National Weather Service. The heavy rainfall combined with a 29-day February broke the record of 20 days of rain set in 1915 and 1998. The rainfall total was 8.62 inches for the month as of 4 a.m. Tuesday. That's well above the average of 3.36 inches for February, bu t far below the record of 14.89 inches in 1998. "In December and January we had a big (high pressure ) ridge over us. It wasn't allowing us to get any of the storms we usually get. .. Snyder said . That high pressure weather system subsided in early February and resulted in torrents of rain for the San Francisco Bay area . In Southern California, where ra infall also has been steady. some business owners lamented the showers . "It's a seasonal business for us. and February is usually our worst month anyway in terms of revenue . We've be en closed about 13 or 14 days out of 29 so far th is month because of rain ," said Bobby Bae, manager of Circle Marin a Hand Car Wash in Long Beach. Roofing businesses, however, have experienced a mild boost since last week's strong storms stripped roofs of buildings in the Los Angeles area. · "Right now our business has about tripled as far as phone calls and giving out estimates. But actual revenue has about doubled than in other, drier months ," said Jay Yu, an accountant for A&BRoofing Company in Los Angeles.

He • moved to vote on two specificaspects of the charter committee's proposal, rather than vote on each proposal as a whole. He said many members of the council seemed concerned that if the proposal of one committee passed, the other would fail.He said they were concerned their own stance would lose. So instead, he moved that two aspects of the charter committee proposal - the creation of two separate weeklymeetings and the requirement that each senator revise his or her charter to include the ASUSUvision and the individual role of each office - be accepted by the council. The two separate meetings would be used to improve council efficiency, • Saunders said. She said the first would be only for legislativeissues and would followstrict parliamentary procedure.

Scheaffersaid a big key to getting a good internship is to begin searching early in the year. She said, however,it isn't too late for students just

beginning their search. "The internships are still going to be out there," Scheaffersaid. "Youmay have missed out on some valuable opportunities though." She said some years Career Serviceseven has too many internships and not enough applicants. ·some years we have too many internships and the positions go unfilled,"

Scheaffersaid. Scheaffersaid students should also check with other resources in their department to meet with adviserswho can help them find a position. "Studentswho use Career Servicesand work closelywith their advisersare going to have better chances, but it really comes down to a student's initiative to get the internship,"Scheaffer said.

Technology and music come together during a free. handson clinic at KSM Guitars located on 349 N. Main Street in Logan Thursday at 7 p.m. "Most college students will especially be interested." Austin Weyand, manager of KSM,said. All music lovers, composers and those interested in the latest music technology are encouraged to attend, according to a KSM press release. The clinic will demonstrate how to integrate the keyboard with Macintosh computers and software. Participants will be shown how to sequence and access different sounds on the Alesis Q series keyboard with computers, Weyand said. Alesis Q keyboards are the top-se11ing keyboards on the market right now.

according to Weyand. They have the capabilities of recording and sequencing music he said. Percussion and string pieces can be written and recorded over the top of one another to produce an entire ·orchestral sequence with the keyboard and computer," he said. Regarding those conducting the demonstration he said, ·you couldn't ask for better experts for what these computers can do: Weyand said John Carter, owner of the Logan recording studio 13/8 Productions, will share his recording, sound processing and electronic music skills. A sales representative for Alesis Keyboards will present the most recent information about the equipment, and Trish Blair of Computer Solutions will present the latest Macintosh computers.

For some people getting to school during the winter can be a long cold trip. But for Dalin Tidwell it is a longer, more enjoyable experience riding on a snowmobile. "It's who I am. My wife fits into it and has a great time too," Tidwell said. Tidwell is a junior at Utah State University majoring in Natural Resource withan emphasis in Fisheries and Wildlife . Tidwell and his wife are the managers at Rocking C Ranch - a family ranch with activities such as horseback riding and greased pig chasing. "My plan is to work with the Division of Wildlife." Tidwell said. "Alot of things I'm doing here at the ranch are going to be a part of my whole life."

Rocking C Ranch is located 15 miles south of Hardware Ranch on Antflat Road. Tidwell leaves the ranch at 6 a.m. each day to snowmobile to Hardware Ranch, where he parks his snowmobile and gets into his pickup truck to drive the rest of the way to school. ·we park it there in where the barns are, where the Division of Wildlife keeps their equipment." Tidwell said. "The rangers keep track of it. They are good to watch out for my stuff." When you add everything up, it is not any cheaper for him to snowmobile in, he said . ·1 drive a big sled that doesn't get very good gas mileage and neither does my truck." Tidwell said. ·we are at the mercy of Mother Nature." Tidwell said. "It's kinda crazy when it

is five degrees below zero or in a blizzard, it gets real exciting. I grew up in this area so I'm pretty familiar with the trail." Tidwell and his wife were married last December. When they had the opportunity to manage the ranch, they felt it was too good to pass up. But Tidwell also knew that his education was too important to give up. ·on her days off Jennifer comes down with me, once or twice a week," Tidwell said . ·sometimes she comes with me to class or other wise she does the shopping and pays the bills. It's a pretty good deal." Tidwell said. ·we·re having a fun time . You can't beat that: Tidwell does not see any people in the morning, and when he returns he will occasionally see other snowmobilers.

High adventurefor college credit The Continuing Education Travel Study Program provides a way for students to develop, through hands-on experience, skills not taught in a traditional classroom. According to information available from the program. this is accomplished by offering inexpensive one- to twoweek trips to students. These trips incorporate many different areas of focus to accommodate as many interests as possible. This gives students a wide range of activities to choose from, said Stanford Smith, the program coordinator for Travel Study. These focuses include discovery, history, adventure and educationally oriented travel opportunities. Whenever possible, university staff or professional members of the community help with these trips to ensure a quality experience and to help build ties between students and these individuals, Smith said. One of these trips was an activity held last Saturday with the Mountain Man

Tracking and Snow Shoeing, Smith said. Eight mountain men and women set up camp Friday night and students were brought in Saturday. Participants learned mountain man lore, fire making, animal tracking and snowshoeing up Juniper Trail during the trip . "All the participants had a good time: Smith said. ·1 think these programs are really valuable because you get to participate in the learning." he said. "You get real-life skills that are very applicable. They offer something unique to the university.

"You get to have a classroom outside and the topics are not traditional," he added . "Many times students will go to one of these trips and then immediately after sign up for several more because they've enjoyed it so much." Smith said . The program offers a wide range of activities through various sponsors such as the Bear River Institute (BRI), Utah Tours and Global Touring, Smith said. The next activity with spots still available is a Spring Birding in Cache

So this has to be the year of adventures and special occasions . Think about it - first we had the mock millennium starting, and now we have endured a Leap Day. I guess the point is this: We only get one every four years and we should celebrate, right? Wrong. The way I look at it, it's another day I have to deal with . The real point of the issue is th is: I have heard a lot of rumors about the whole Leap Day thing so I was excited about it. I mean I was looking forward to it, and do you know what happened? Not a darn thing! Nadda. Nothing. I went about business as usual. I guess I was expecting too much. What else is new? Ok, the rumor I have been hearing is this: Once upon a time, long ago, women could ask men to marry on Leap Day them without feeling like they had broken the very structure of society in a flash of unfemin ine glory. But that was a million years ago, and now the who le thing is just a distant memory. But the point here is I heard this from a friend of mine. It was then that I had the stroke of genius that I always seem to get when something is really a bad idea. I decided that I would wait to be proposed to and then if it seemed like a viable proposal, I would make off l ike Fox's. "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire," but without the prenuptial agreement, hype and lawsuits. Fine, the money (I'm not going to marry a millionaire) would not have been an opt ion either, but I guess when you wait for the gir l to ask you out then you can't be overly picky. Now before I get everyone on campus in an uproar over this, I have to defend myself. I ... er ... I thought it would be OK if some random girl on campus walked up to me and said, "Hey, you. Do you want to get married?" It's not like I want the girl to do all the work , I just get tired of playing this whole dating game. I guess it is more that I don't want to wear my

I

heart on my sleeve every time I ask someone out and then watch as it becomes a door mat for the high heels of disappoin tment. In the end, I' ll end up join ing the down-andout club again. Hey, I think I may even run for president. I think I may have a shot at it too . But that is a whole different story to deal with, so I will spare you the gory details. So, back to the topic at hand I waited all day for Miss Right to make her way up to me. I even wore a suit on campus so I would be a little more prepared for the blissful moment. Every time I passed a female on campus, I tried to smile that "hey look at me" smile, but I failed to really connect. Gee, the story of my life . Don 't get me wrong, I have a ton of fr iends I just don't have a wife. Not that it is necessarily bad, it is just when you grow up in Utah and are not married by the age of two , something just has to be wrong with you. After a long, disappointing day, I have decided that it is not the best tradition. I currently think I could go for arranged marriages. It would be like going to McBurger Place and ordering the usual. But then again, do I really trust my parents to make that choice for me? I will give you three choices and the first two don't count. Ummm ... nope. It's not that my parents wouldn't make a good choice or anything. I guess it is more the fact that I really want to be happy . I guess it goes back to a Smash Mouth song that says, "Just when I though everything would be OK , just when I started to believe everything was going my way , out came the cloud from under my feet - crashing back down to reality ... from here on out, my pet name would be ex - your ex." · So maybe I am happy that it was a normal day. I guess some things are just better left to fate. Who needs Leap Day anyway?

What ever happened to real music? INMYWoRI.D / HeatherFedrickson Alright, enough with the belly buttons and the falsetto already. Can we put these items back in their rightful places? Preferably somewhere hidden. There must be something wrong with the music industry when looks supersede talent, mustn't there? "I'll tell you what's wrong with the music industry today: It sucks the ying-yang," Sports Editor Casey Hobson said. "Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and all these little boy groups - they all sound the same. That's why Carlos Santana won six Gram mys. He sounded different. "What ever happened to the days of innovating guitar solos? What happened to pioneers like Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen? Today's music is boring. Everybody just copies everyone else. Will Smith copies himself. He doesn't write new music; he just changes the lyrics to the same song he's always sung. It's all 'Wild, Wild West."' And he's not alone in his verbose opinions. I agree the music presented to the listening ear is, soothing and danceable for the most part, isn't but

exactly good. In fact, it's not anywhere near that. It's just filler. Where's the craft? The ingenuity? The art of music? Down the toilet as far as mainstream, KVFX radio is concerned. Spears and the "boys" aren't exactly what I call quality producers of music. But that's all certain radio stations will play in the middle of the afternoon when connoisseurs of this musical genre are generally in school, not listening to the radio. And wouldn't you know it? That's when I'm aching- for some Bette Midler, Bryan Adams, R.E.M., Radiohead or Van Halen. So what's going on? Granted, acts such as Spears, Backstreet Boys, Five, C Note, 'N Sync, 98 Degrees and Ag~ilera attract money - a lot ofrt. I'll admit that when I was 12 years old, I was head over heels for New Kids on the Block, spending every last penny I had on pictures, albums, trading cards, posters and concert tickets, but they were one-of-akind at the time. This incessant barrage of boy bands and bottom-half-ofthe-shirt-less girls has gotten to be just a bit much. It's to the point now where my roommates and I, and I'm sure plenty more out there, turn off the radio or TV when their faces

appear. And that's almost every five minutes now. Can this over -saturation of the market be supported? Are there enough teenage dollars to go around? Pretty soon, something has got to give. Someone, or someone's career, is going to go downhill fast and be left with nothing but a few smooth moves and worn out vocal chords. Of course , if some of them could never sing again , I wouldn't be all that sad , but I'd feel sorry for them. How aboutdacking up the underagers an sending them back to high school to gain an education and leave the career to later in life when they ' re old enough and (hopefully) wise enough to make life-long decisions? Oh , sure. They're just having fun for right now. It's the experience of a lifetime, one I wouldn't mind having. But, the buildup of popularity must fall at some point and no matter how much they say they wouldn't be crushed, they will. And then what? Try to make a comeback like Jordan Knight or Joe McIntyre? That would.be sad . The funny 1hing is, it's not just because of these teeny bopper acts that the mu sic of today has begun to slide. Mariah Carey hasn't really added anything novel to the scene. Most of her vocal aero -

batics are gone, and all people see of her now is her rainbowed chest at record stores. Train sounds like Soul Asylum, which sounds like Wallflowers which sounds like Matchbox 20 which sounds like Bush which sounds like ... See where this is going? This could explain the resurgence of songs like "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam. They've run out of ideas, so they're redoing classics. I'd rather hear the original. And Casey's right. There's no innovation. There 's no creation. There's no purpose behind the music. Give me ln-A-Gadda-DaVida. Give me Bridge Over Troubled Water. Hell, give me Madonna, or Weird Al Yankovic. He may be weird, but at least he's creative.

Heather Fredricksonis the copy editorfor The Statesman. She listens to Menudo and still has a shrine to the New Kids in her closet. E-mail her at SLR4H@cc.usu.edu

Inventing a better way of life DREW FETHERSTON

Newsday Paul W. Garbo of Freeport. N.Y,has spent a long professional lifetime in patents and patent work. gathering 59 patents of his own and many more for clients. His patents and expertise range over cryogenics, metallur'1:f,petroleum refining, gas technolo'(;f, tobacco treatment and, most recently, pizza crusts specifically.' how to make a I pizza crust out of Jinguini. More about this later Years ago, Garbo perfected the Tiparillo , a small cigar that sold well all over the world. His ideas helped gas companies generate power without burning the gas. His work on flameless gas combustion is the basis of a multimillion-dollar indus-

try. And what has all this yielded for Garbo? A lot of good sto, ries, certainly, and a wise appreciation of the risks and rewards of inventing -The poor individual inventor has a deuce of a time making money, unless it's a worldclass invention," he says. ·1 have many patents of my own. and I haven't made a fortune."

He wears the years with exceptional grace . Garbo earned three degrees at Columbia University, including a master's in chemical engineering. ·1 graduated in the Depression . in 1935. so jobs

were very scarce," he recalls. He was lucky to find a job that paid $125 a month. "I was the second-highest paid in my class." In 1945. he discovered that since patent law was federal. he could practice it without passing a state bar exam simply by taking a federal examination . He did so, and in.January 1946, he set up a patent practice in Manhattan . Almost all of his work since nas been with companies. ·1 ' shun the private inventor. because you have to bea thriving business or a big corporation who can do something with a patent,· he says. ·1 work with companies." Individuals do seek Garbo 's advice, of course. "I've had people come to me, and I don"t take fees from individuals," he says. "At least a few of them have gone away feeling that a free consultation was valueless." Over the years , Garbo served as a consultant to a lot of major companies. particularly in the petroleum field. He was vice president for technolo'1:1and head of research and development for General Cigar Company in Manhattan in the 1960s, and served as a compa ny director until 1978. He undertook the pizza work for a maker of food machinery who for the moment wishes to remain anonymous . Tve known him for about 15 years, and have gotten him about 10 patents," Garbo says.

Navy loses track of weapons records WASHINGTON (AP)The Navy wrote off as "lost in transit" $3 billion in missile launchers. night vision goggles and other military equipment between 1995 and 1998. but in nearly every case reviewed by congressional investigators the shipments had actually been delivered . The General Accounting Office, Congress' watchdog agency. said the Navy is exposing itself to "waste, fraud and abuse" because it is not accurately tracking shipments . The issue is important, the report says, because secret equipment could fall into the wrong hands if the military·s system for tracking inventories doesn't work. Moreover. a broken supply system may lead the services to buy more than they need ,

it says. The GAO did not do the audit work to prove such double-ordering happened, but no one knows that it didn't. the report adds. "This lack of accountability could cause the inventory to become vulnerable to theft or loss and could cause managers to implement inefficient. ineffective decisions and practices regarding purchases that could lead to waste," the investigators said in a report issued in late February . Navy officials "acknowledged that it is possible that purchases could have been made as a result of items being written off," the report says. Rear Adm. Keith Lippert. commander of Naval Supply Systems Command, said in a statement that the problem is largely due to "disconnects" between financial-

and material-management computers, problems he expects will be fixed by November. The GAO reported the $1 billion per year in Navy losses to Congress a year ago. In a follow-up report, the agency disclosed that the majority of materials were in fact delivered as planned but that the Navy didn't know it. In almost every case examined, the Navy's supply command had not been notified whether a shipment had been received, though such notification is required by Navy regulations to confirm that weapons and other materials are not lost. But only when the Navy or the congressional investigators probed particular cases did anyone learn that delivery had occurred .

USU'sHeather Curtisgets jammed on this pitch during battingpractice at LeRaeand LaGrandJohnsonField on Feb.2. The softballteam does not play at homeuntil April 1.

The Utah State University softball team has a lot to look forward to this season. After a strong showing at two of the premier college softball tournaments, the young team looks to improve on last year's 17-33 record. Six of the nine starting positions will be filled by new players this season as only Tiffany Pugmire. Sandy Taylor and Breanne Nickle return from last year's starters. The empty spots will be filled with freshmen and sophomores 13 players are in only their first or second year at USU. and some people might consider this to be one of the reasons USU was picked to finish last in the Big West coaches preseason poll. But that apparent weakness of youth could be one of the Aggies· biggest strengths. "It's a real fun bunch." head coach Pam McCreesh said.

The Aggies are already 4-6 after competing well at the Fiesta Bowl Tournament in Tempe, Ariz. and the Red Desert Classic at St. George. Four of those six losses were to ranked teams. The four wins are a good sign, as USU only notched one win in their first 15 games last season. McCreesh said she still sees a lot of room for improvement. The team should continue to gel as they keep playing on the road until April 1 when they open against the University of the Pacific. During Spring Break, USU will be on the road in California, competing in San Jose's NIST Tournament as well as the Sacramento State Tournament and a stop at St. Mary's College - all in 11 consecutive days on the road. They will have no choice but to gel, McCreesh said. After opening the Big West season at New Mexico State University in back-to-back games. USU returns home against Pacific (ranked 31st in the preseason coaches' poll) for their opener at LaRae and LeGrand Johnson Field.

She and Taylor were the only players to start all 50 games last year. Nickle will try to improve in catching base stealers thjs year. She has already hit two homers this season. Back-up Amanda Carlson is injured and will redshirt her freshman year. Third baseman Stephanie Vasarhely already looks like one of USU's top players coming out of the freshman class. In Tempe, she batted .385 - second-best for USU. "She filled a big void for us at third base." McCreesh said. Sophomore Heather Curtis will start at shortstop for USU. Only batting .175 in 48 games last year, the Aggies will rely on her glove which is the best in the infield, McCreesh said. A starter at second base is still up for grabs.

USUpoint guard BernardRock(with ball) looksfor an open man during the Aggie's victory over GlobalSports on Nov. 5. Rockhas led the Aggies to a 23-5 recordoverallthis season.

The Utah State University men's basketball team will be looking to make some more history this weekend in its final two regular season games at home . The Aggies (14-0 Big West, 23-5 overall) have set school records this year for best start, quickest team ever to win 20 games, most road victories in a row (currently eight) and the best February month ever (8-0, breaking the 7-1 mark set by the 1993-94 team). USU could become just the third Big West team to go through conference play without a loss. The other two teams to accomplish that feat were the University of Nevada at Las Vegas (five times under the direction of Jerry Tarkanian) and Long Beach State University. which accomplished it twice with Tarkanian and once with Lute Olsen (1973-74),who is now the head coach of third-ranked University of Arizona. In order for USU to do it, it will have to contend with its two Eastern Division foes of the BWC from the Gem State: the University of Idaho (Thursday night at 7:05) and Boise State University (Saturday night at 7:05). Both games are in the Spectrum. Saturday night's game against BSU will be senior Troy Rolle's final home game. But for right now, the Aggies are solely keying on the Vandals (6-8, 12-14),who are looking forward to the challenge of

Three words Dick Vital must learn: Utah State University flNALJNE / WadeDenniston The Utah State University men's basketball team has already won 14 in a row, good enough for the nation's longest winning streak - and a school record. With two more straight wins, the Aggies can wrap up their first perfect season in the Big West Conference at 16-0. Five more consecutive victories (three coming in the Big West Conference Tournament) will ensure Utah State as being the outright conference champions and earn it an automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. However, because of their strong play throughout the season (23-5 overall), many people, including those at ESPN.com, say the Aggies are already guaranteed a spot in the Big Dance, even if they don't win the conference tourney in Reno, Nev., March 9 to 11.

Rodriguez is nursing a shoulder injury and did not practice this week, but she will play this weekend at St. George. DeJarnette is currently second in batting average (.320) for the Aggies. The only veteran in the outfield is sophomore Pugmire. The lead-off batter and starter at center field, Pugmire struggled at Tempe, but she should be a force at the plate as she had the highest batting average of any returning player. "She runs like a deer," McCreesh said. "She does an awesome job at center." The rest of the outfield will be filled by freshmen. Aimee Johnson (converted from third base) will start at left field and Christina Conrad and Markean Neal will battle it out for right field. USU will call on five pitchers this season.

Utah State head coach Stew MorriII will have the team focus solely on the next game at hand, which is Thursday night at 7:05 at the Spectrum against Idaho. In fact, since the start of the season, the Aggies have always focused on playing their next opponent instead of looking past them, whicb is assuredly one of the many reasons the team has had so much success this year. "We've done a pretty good job of just trying to play our next opponent, and that is kind of the way I prefer to approach it," Morrill told the local media prior to USU's game at the University of Nevada earlier this season. "You look in our notebook, and we have one goal, and that is to win our next game. That is what our goal is." Congratulations on a successful season Aggies, and keep it rolling!

He said, " ... how is it that his wins are coming on the votes of independents and moderate democrats? He seems to be attracting neither party's extreme votes, which to me representstrue polarization." Third, he does not feel the Republican party is tearing itself apart. He said, "The real issue in a presidential election is the moderate swing vote, and according to you those are exactly tne voters McCain is attracting." I believe many of you, the readers, also have these concerns, so please take into consideration my explanation and clarification. First, Bush's strengths.Surely one could itemize the pros and cons for both candidates and perhaps even come to a conclusion of who is better by so doing. In a large part that is what the politicians themselves are doing. However, that was not the intent of my juxtaposition.

Rather, I was trying to show that McCain have the support to do on a rational level it is illogical it once he is elected?

On the other hand, Hall also was excel- · lent in The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Insider and Cradle Will Rock - which brings us to the second improvement. The Academy could permit actors and others to be nominated for all the work they've done in a single year. While this means the weight of Julianne Moore's work in The End of the Affair, Magnolia, An Ideal Husband and The Map of the World might overwhelm Hilary Swank's astonishing performance in Boys Don't Cry, isn't that what "best actress" connotes anyway?

So, seemingly he will only further polarize the two parties if he is given the highest office in the land, because both sides will be against him. Therefore, McCain will create more gridlock then currently exists. Third, perhaps my brotherin-law is right about the Republican Party not tearing itself apart. I guess seeing that quirky smile on Al Gore's face just worries me, like he knows something that the rest of us don't. For your information, the current standings of the candidates are: Republicans - Bush has ninety-three delegates, McCain has ninety-six, Keyes has four. 1,034 delegates are needed to win the Republican nominat ion. Democrats Gore has forty-two, Bradley has twenty-seven. 2, 170 delegates are needed to win the Democratic nomination.

Study:Avoiding breast-feeding could cut ·mother-to-child HIV infections CHICAGO (AP) - The number of infants who get the AIDS virus from their mothers could drop by more than 40 percent if infected women avoided breast-feeding, a study in Africa suggests. The authors, led by researcher Ruth Nduati in Nairobi, studied 401 HIV-infected women and their infants in Kenya. Their findings appear in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association. The mothers were randomly assigned to breast-feed or to use formula. The authors found that formula use prevented 44 percent of infant infections. The frequency of breast-milk transmission of the virus was estimated at 16 percent, though the authors said the rate was likely higher since more than one fourth of the women in the formula group admitted they also breast-

fed their infants. United Nations' figures show that 590,000 infants got HIV from their mothers in 1998, 90 percent of them in Africa. The study's findings suggest that if infected mothers used formula instead, that number would fall to about 260,000.

Like previous research, the study found indications that the biggest risk for transmission occurs in the early weeks of breast-feeding. Younger infants might have more immature immune systems, and. the researchers noted, exposure to infected milk "diminishes as weaning foods are introduced and milk intake declines." While breast-feeding was clearly linked to HIV infection, both the formula and breast-feeding groups had similar death rates at 2 years - about 20 percent.

FDA approves testosterone gel WASHINGTON (AP) - Men who suffer low testosterone until now have been treated with hormone shots or testosterone patches. Tuesday, the government approved a new option - testosterone gel. Manufacturer UniMed Pharmaceuticals called AndroGel. a clear gel rubbed into the skin, an "easy, effective, invisible alternative" to current testosterone therapy. But prescription-only AndroGel must be used carefully, cautioned the Food and Drug Administration. Men rub AndroGel into the skin of the abdomen or shoulders - not the genital area where it absorbs into the bloodstream. Men must be careful not to spread the gel from their hands or bodies to women, especially pregnant women because testosterone can harm a developing fetus, the FDA said. So they should wash their hands immediately after applying, and "do not allow other persons to contact your skin where you have applied AndroGeL especially pregnant or nursing women," an FDA patient-instruction leaflet warns. Let the gel dry a few minutes before dressing and wait five to six hours before showering or swimming so it absorbs properly, the FDA said. Illinois-based UniMed said AndroGel, like other testosterone therapy, can restore men's hormone levels to a normal range. It will be available by midsummer. A price has not been set.

That finding illustrates one of the drawbacks of formula-feeding in developing countries, where tainted water can cause fatal diarrhea in infants and breast-feeding is more affordable and culturally accepted. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that infants of HIV-infected women not be breast-fed, a standard adopted in the industrialized world. But the World Health Organization has said that even HIV-positive mothers should breast-feed in areas where infectious disease and malnutrition are leading causes of infant mortality, the authors noted. United Nations guidelines sug-• gest that infected women in developing areas be told of the risks and benefits of breast-feeding, and the authors say their findings will help

such women make better choices. "Now that we have a good estimate of the risk, our goal should be to put knowledge into practice," said Dr. Joan Kreiss, a co-author and infectious disease specialist at the University of Washington. A CDC report in the same issue of the journal said better understanding of the timing of HIV transmission related to breast-feeding is needed to determine the best way to prevent infection in children. The authors note that previous research has suggested that breastfeeding exclusively may be less risky than alternating breast-feeding with formula in very young infants. "Exclusive breast-feeding fol' lowed by early weaning" is among prevention strategies that need further research, the authors said.

Celltransplants reverse diabetes 1nmice NEW YORK(AP) Scientists have reversed diabetes in mice by generating insulin-producing cells in a laboratory and transplanting them into the animals, an indication of how useful so-called stem cells might be. The mice had a version of Type 1 diabetes, which occurs when the body mistakenly destroys,insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with this disease must inject themselves with insulin daily to sur-

vive.

'

Patients have been treated with transplants of islets, the insulin factories of the pancreas. The success rate has been low, apparently in part because it's hard to get enough islets from a cadaver's pancreas. The new work suggests a way to overcome that problem: prodding immature stem cells from the pancreas to make abundant quanti,ties of islets in the laboratory. The mouse study by researchers at the University of Florida College of Medicine

and elsewhere is reported in the March issue of the journal Nature Medicine. In one set of experiments, eight diabetic mice received the lab-generated islets and then were weaned from insulin injections over a few days. Within a week after injections stopped, they showed a decline in blood-sugar levels. They remained healthy without insulin injections until they were killed for examination of the implant, a period of up to 55 days from implantation.

President is 'heartened' byPhilipMorris' comments'· ·the NEWYORK(AP)- Philip Morris' suggestion that it could accept some new government regulation of the tobacco industry was praised Tuesday by President Clinton, who said he was "heartened" by the comments . Former Food and Drug Administration chief David Kessler called it "a very big step." "If even Philip Morris is'saying the time has come to regulate this product, then the time

has come," Kessler said Tuesday. But tobacco critics said the nation's biggest cigarette company was too vague about what might be acceptable and viewed its comments as an effort to • buy time for an embattled industry while burnishing its own image. "They have conceded nothing. they have agreed to nothing," said Paul Billings,an executive with the American Lung Assotja tion. "This is in the time-honored tradition of

tobacco: appearing to give a little in exchange for more time." Philip Morris accounts for one of every two cigarettes sold in the United States, including the top-seller Marlboros. The tobacco companies have long opposed new regulations. Philip Morris has been trying to remake its image in recent months. conceding that cigarettes are addictive and committing $100 million to a campaign to discourage youngsters from smoking.

Thousands in Mozambique Several in Mozambique wait in treesfor rescue or death LIONDE.Mozambique (AP)Thousands braced Tuesday evening for a third terrifying night stranded in trees and on rooftops surrounded by swiftly flowing muddy water that stretched for miles in every direction. Most people trapped near the submerged village of Lionde had not eaten since early Sunday, when they fled a 6-foot-high wall of water that surged through Mozambique's already flooded Gaza province. South African helicopters working from dawn to dusk for three days seemed by Tuesday to only have made a dent in the numbers needing rescue. The helicopters had rescued 550 Mozambicans by noon Tuesday, in ' addition to the 4,800 plucked from

floodwaters the previous two days. said South African air force Capt. Hugo Weich. From one tree alone, a helicopter hoisted an old man and six women with their babies on their backs to safety onboard. where they sat staring blankly ahead, still in shock. Some frightened victims hid when the helicopters approached. Others refused to be rescued. Uhle Sithole said the helicopter terrified him. but that he was very glad to be brought away from the water. "But now l may die because my stomach is empty," he said, adding he had not eaten since Saturday night. Some people managed to build platforms in the trees, and tied bicy-

des and other belongings to the branches. Some managed to get their goats up into the trees, slaughtered them and cooked the meat over fires made on metal sheets. Others had only the clothes on their back. The helicopters dropped their human cargo on a stretch of road just feet above the rising flood waters, where many milled around in shock, looking for relatives. Aid workers. who estimated about 1,000 people had been brought to the road, tried to usher the crowd to a village on higher ground. Trucks drove those who could not walk. Simon Mthembu said 13 of his family members were missing. He said he had seen hundreds of people being swept away by the water as it rushed through Chokwe. the main town in the region that was submerged early Sunday. The town of Chaqualane, about

left to die

35 miles south of Chokwe. was expected to become ground zero for relief operations. said UNICEF spokesman Ian Macleod. About 15,000 victims had already congregated there. On Tuesday. the water surge that hit Chokwe continued down the flooded Limpopo River and drenched most of Xai-Xai,a coastal town of 130.000 that had been ordered evacuated earlier. By Tuesday afternoon hundreds were stranded in Xai-Xaion rooftops, inches above the floodwaters, which were expected to rise. Three or four rubber rafts collected people from rooftops. but could transport only a half-dozen people per trip. Drowned cattle floated among clusters of survivors. President Joaquim Chissano and South African Defense Minister Mosiuoa Lekota, whose own country has also flooded. flew over Mozambique on Tuesday in separate planes .

Fewer than a dozen helicopters were participating in the rescue operations, and more were desperately needed, said World Food Program spokeswoman Michele Quintaglie. Most were from the South African air force. "We've got families who are not going to be able to hang on much longer... Quintaglie said. "We should be flying helicopters in, if necessary, from Europe." With flooded areas cut off by road and helicopters being used mostly for rescue missions instead of food drops, no hunger relief was in sight. The World Food Program said up to 300,000 people needed immediate aid nationwide . The Mozambican government estimated that up to 1 million people have been affected by the floods. Chissano said it was impossible to estimate the death toll, but Quintaglie said it would run into the thousands.

forfirsttimeSHOOTING Census forms cyberspace

Continuedfrom Page2

WASHINGTON(AP)The Census Bureau this year will give Americans the choice of answering their census questionnaires over the Internet . and hopes the new option will prompt more people to respond to the once-a-decade survey. With the click of a mouse, respondents will be able to log on to the Census Bureau·s Web site and answer the government's questions - How old you are? What ethnicity are you? - without having to drop the form in the mailbox. It's unclear whether allowing forms to be returned for the first time through cyberspace will get more people to respond. Mail response rates have declined in each of the last three surveys, from 78 per-

cent of households in 1970, to 70 percent in 1980, to 65 percent in 1990. Officials estimate that rate will dip to 61 percent this year. Census Day is April 1, meaning all the information requested by the government concerns the people living in the home that day. The data is critical for the reapportionment of congressional seats as well as distribution of federal and state funds. In general, the more people a city or town has . the more money it gets. "We'd be happy if everybody mailed back their questionnaire . It would make the census more accurate," said John Thompson, director of census operations . "This will be a first. determining the individuals who use the mail and people who use the

Internet." Worries over privacy and confidentiality that make some people wary about returning forms in the first place may be just as prevalent when submitting answers over the Internet, especially in light of recent hacker attacks against popular Web sites such as Yahoo! and eBay, said Martha Farnsworth Riche. a former Census Bureau director who helped develop its Internetresponse system. "My one concern is people's concerns about privacy, and people are particularly concerned about the broad use of the census information," she said. Census officials stress that all information is kept confidential and not shared with other government agencies.

"I moved out here because I'd thought it'd be safer for my grandkids,"said Katherine Sutton. who has lived in the area for fiveyears. "I thought things would be better. but I see it's not." ClassesWednesday were canceled. but the school will be open for anyone in the community who wants counseling. Third-grader Corey Sutton, 9, said he heard a bang and thought a desk had fallen. Then. "the principal came over the PAsystem and told teachers to shut their doors and lock them," he said. "I was scared, my heart was pounding." The teacher told students to line up and get their coats on, and when the kids were lined up "she told us what happened. A girl got shot. and the teacher started crying."

President Clinton, in Florida for a Democratic fundraiser,said: "Why could the child fire the gun? If we have the technologytoday to put in these child safety locks,why don't we do it?" The tragedy of young killers was highlighted in November in the Detroit suburb of Pontiac.where a boy who gunned down a stranger at age 11 was convictedas an adult of murder. Nathaniel Abraham. one of the youngest murderers in U.S.history,was sentenced in January to a juvenile detention center until he turns 21. after which he will be a free man. He was the first youngster charged with murder under a 1997 Michiganlaw that allows children of any age to be prosecuted as adults for serious crimes. His lawyersargued that he did not have the mental capacityto form an intent to kill.

ation with German authorities. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims who have experienced this terrible and senseless loss:·he said. The Pentagon said it had no statistics on murder charges against dependents of U.S.military members. But such cases have been rare. U.S. Defense Secretary William Cohen called his German counterpart. Rudolf Scharping, to express regret and condolences to the families of the victims,Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon said. He said Scharping assured Cohen that the incident "would not have an impact on U.S.-German relations." Cohen also issued a written statement saying "I am shocked and saddened" by the "senseless loss" of !ife. The three suspects have lived in Germany for at least 1, years and reside in Darmstadt. where Americans had prided themselves on friendly relations with the Germans - from the city's annual German-American Festival to the pickup basketball games at off-base parks.

Renting an apartment from the tenant's point of view

From the tenant's perspec~ tive the landlord/tenant rela=1tionship can be divided out in six steps. These steps are explained briefly below.

i !

~

1. SELECTINGAN APART{ MENT. This step is the most ': simple and obvious. Many sources are available to assist j you in selecting the apartment '.: most suited to your needs. Sources include the classified ads in various newspapers. The Utah Statesman's Renters· Guide, the advertising board located at the west end of the basement of the Taggart Student Center and local realtors. Inspect the apartment thoroughly. Be aware of hidden costs such as utility expenses.An older apartment is likely to have higher utility costs than a new apartment. Look for parking availabilityremember you cannot park on the side of city streets during winter months becauseof snow removal problems. Know who your roommates will or can be.

2. SELECTINGA LANDLORD.This step is largely over looked, but is the most critical step. Be aware that when you shop for an apartment you are purchasing a place where you

will live and a landlord to deal with. More tenants become seriously dissatisfied with their apartment becauseof a lousy landlord than becauseof the quality of the apartment or its facilities. If your oven goes out, some landlords will repair it quickly; others will never fix it even though you pester them for months. Some landlord will go to great lengths to accommodateyour needs and provide quality service while others are interested only in maximizing their revenue and minimizing their expensesand efforts. Here's some advice. Find several apartments that seemedacceptableto you. Then question other people who live in the same complex or former tenants who have moved out. Find out what the landlord is like and how he or she responds to various prob!ems. How long did it take hirr or her to fix the toilet? Did you get your full deposit back'i etc. Another advisablething to do is inspect the apartment inside and out. Ask yourself the following questions: Does the building appear to be properly maintained? Are the yard and grounds cared for? Are

the sidewalks cleared of now? The answers to these questions will give you a feel of how consciousthe landlord is.

3. NEGOTIATING A CONTRACT.A rental agreement or lease is a contract. Never sign a contract without reading it and understanding it because you will be bound by what you sign. Assumethe landlord drafted the contract, not to protect you. but rather to protect his or her interests. You do not have to sign the contract as the landlord wrote it. If there are provisions in the contract you dislike, talk about it with the landlord and negotiate a change in the languageof the contract. Add provisions. Take provisions out. Think about the consequencesof what you are signing. Have both you and the landlord initial the changesand date the contract. Keep a copy for your own records.. If you have questions about the contract, see a lawyer before you sign it. 4. MOVINGIN. The most important part of moving in is collecting evidencethat will help you get your deposit back when you move out. Before you move any of your personal property into the apartment, record the condition of the apartment. Go from room to room and take careful note.

See it to Believe it CambridgeCourt Apartments

Take pictures. Use am video camera. Look for damaged screen doors or windows. nail holes in the walls, water damage, scraped walls and paint, dirty carpet. broken appliances. Everything. Mail a copy of your list to the landlord or seal a copy.in an envelopeand have it registered at the post office. When you move out your landlord might try to make you pay to repair something that was actually broken before you moved in. You might be required to have the room professionally cleaned when you really left it cleaner

inspection of the apartment will take less than an hour and it might save you hundreds of dollars (your deposit). It is worth the time.

S. DEALINGWITH PROBLEMS. Some of the common questions asked about problems with the landlord include the following. If you have any further question see a lawyer. A. Rent Payments. Always pay rent and deposits with a check or get a receipt. If the landlord disputes a rent payment you will likely have to prove you made payment. B. Repairs. You cannot refuse to pay rent until the landlord repairs a problem. You usually cannot force a landlord to repair problems unlessthey are serious, such as no heat. no hot water. no · working toilet. C. Eviction. The landlord cannot evict you without following a technical legal process and a judge must order the eviction. 6. MOVINGOUT.Moving out means getting out with

your deposit. After your property is moved out of the apartment. collect evidenceof the condition the apartment was in when you left. Becauseyou followed the advice above in number 4. you can now show the landlord. and a judge if necessary.that you left the apartment cleaner than you found it. That you did not break the kitchen window. That the bathroom tile was chipped before you moved in. That you deserveyour deposit back. The landlord MUST send you your deposit back or a written itemization of the reasons he is withholding the deposit or a portion of the deposit. This must be sent to you no later than 30 days after you move out or 15 days after you provide him or her with the address of where to send the deposit to. which ever is later. If the landlord does not comply with this see a lawyer and take the landlord to small claims court.
