Logan teensadmitto planning bombing in exchange for probation LOGAN, Utah (AP) - Two Logan High School students have admitted they planned to set off explosives at their school to create "mass hysteria." They tonfessed Monday in Juvenile Court as part of a plea agreement. The 15-year -old students, one from Millville and one from Logan, were arrested and suspended from school in January for planning to build a bomb with stolen materials. The teen-agers were charged with conspiracy to commit burglary, a misde meanor. The Millville teen was also charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated arson, a second-degree felony. said Cache County Deputy Attorney James Swink. If the boys comply with all of the conditions of the agreement, the charges will be dismissed, according to local officials. The Logan teen·s agreement states he must stay out of trouble with the law and continue to attend school for at least the next six months. He was readmitted to Logan High in February and continues to attend classes there.

The Millville teen's case was more serious, investigators said. Therefore, he must stay out of trouble with the law for a year and continue to attend counseling sessions. He also must continue his education, which has been through correspondence since he was expelled from Logan High School following the incident. Swink said investigators knew the conspiracy charges would be tough to prove and the police response was more of an intervention on the teens' behalf than an attempt to invoke punish ments. "We had no weapons, no action, no bombs, just talk," Swink said . "But we had enough probable cause for conspiracy charges, so we intervened." Swink said police and school officials were aware of the talk and were watching the situation carefully. These efforts were pri marily to assist the criminal case against the teens. Rumors about the talk circulated and parents became aware of the possible threat. The arrests were then made in the name of safety, Swink said.

The men in Bullen Hall Room 112 are just a little anxious about their new roommate. It's not every day you share a bathroom with the president of Utah State University. President George Emert arrived at the apartment Tuesday evening with a goody basket for his new roommates after dinner with students at the Junction .

"He's being treated Just like any new resident," said Chris Ralphs, resident director over Richards and Bullen Halls. The idea of the stay is a chance to talk with students about their concerns and ideas and get to know them on a personal level. Emert said. He said it's hard at an administrative level to stay in contact with studen ts, and this will be a way for him to see what's going on from their perspective. Emert said he will be working a normal schedule ar the office for the days he's in the hall and spending evenings with the students.

Local gas stations not concerned about 'gas out' efforts LARA GALE

Staff Writer

A California-based consumer watchdog organization is waging war against gasoline companies this weekend. but local gas stations aren't running for cover. Consumers Against High Gas Prices, a non-profit organization run by volunteers, organized a similar boycott last year prompted by a widely circulated, anonymous e-mail. Afterward prices dropped a few cents in California , where the boycott had the most support. but whether that was in reaction to the boycott or would have happened anyway because of changes in the ml market is debatable. Lowe Barry, a public school teacher who started the organization last year and serves as its chairperson, said he still hopes to replicate those results this year on a national scale. Consumers are being asked via e-mail and newspaper advertisements to join CAHGP in a nationwide boycott of gas stations Friday through Sunday, and to join a rolling boycott of certain gasoline compa nies every month through December. Word has made it around USU, but most don't plan to participate. "If I don 't need gas, I'll do it," said Monique Adams, a freshman. "But if I have to buy gas I'm going to: Local gas station owners and employees aren't worried. "People are going to need gas for the weekend, boycott or not," said Toni Spillet,

manager of Aggie Station on the corner of 1400 N. and 800 East. Even if people participate, the boycott won't achieve the desired effect. said Brent Miller, general manager of the Utah-based gas station chain L.W.'s. "It would have to go for months before you'd see any kind of change in prices," Miller said. "That would be nobody driving. nobody using gasoline for anything. " That's because gas prices are driven by the law of supply and demand , Miller said. Gasoline prices start with the pri ce of oil barrels set by OPEC and other oil distributors. The oil is sold to refineries, which then sell gasoline to stations like L.W.'s. After the middlemen and taxes add to the price, gas stations have a small profit margin to work with - even smaller when oil prices are high, Miller said. He said he adjusts prices to be high enough to make the pumps profitable but low enough to stay competitive and keep consumers happy . The majority of a gas station 's profit comes from convenience store sales, he said. Gas prices are high for severa l reasons . gasoline retailers the least of them , a ccording to Douglas MacIntyre. oil marke t an alyst for the Energy Inform a tion Administration. One of the most important is OPEC's failure to produce oil at a rate that puts the price of oil into a normal range . Miller said. In 1998 and 1999 OPEC produ ced more oil than the world needed and oil

prices fell to as low as $10 a bar rel. sending gasoline pnces below a dollar a gallon in the United States and wreaking havoc on the economies of oil-produ cing countries. In an effort to undo the damage. the OPEC 10 (excluding Iraq ) pledged early in 1999 to cut down on oil production . Their adherence to that pledge left supplies too low to fill a high demand for oil products, especially gasoline, which is why the price of oil hit $30 a bar rel last mon th, and why it cost upwar ds of $160 to fill a gas tank last weekend. MacIntyre said consumers need to realize 89 cen ts per gallon was not sustainabl e; the pendulum was bound to swing back the other way. But $2 a gallon is not sustainable , either . The price of oil needs to stabil ize between these two extremes. which means around $12 to $15 per barrel. before gasoline prices will stabilize, he said. The good news is OPEC has agreed to increase produ ction and gasoline prices should fall 11 cents or mor e be tween now and the end of the summer, MacIn tyre said. If the average consume r wants to h elp, boycott ing isn't the way to do it. MacIn tyre said. ·we understand th e frustr ation of the gas consumer ," he said. ''A boycott may be therapeutic , but it's no t go ing to change the price of gasoline . MacIntyr e said the best way for peop le to affect the oil ma rket is to make a concer ted effort toward conservation .

The legislation would give the transplant network total control over the rules governing how to distribute more than 20,000 organs that are donated each year.

The boy said he had seen the gun and some quarters in a shoebox in James· room. He also said he remembered Kayla being shot , but when asked if he shot her, he shook his head "no," and blamed another boy to whom he said he had given the gun.

The entire Cabinet resigned Tuesday, paving the way for the quick s~l~ction of a Libe'r'al Democrat to the country's top post. After the new leader is named. a Ca bin et could be installed by late Wednesday. Government ministers promised to move swiftly to avoid a political vacuum after bbuchi's collapse. The 62-year-old prime minister suffered a stroke Sunday and lapsed into a coma. "IL is regrettable that the leader of the. government fell ill ... in such difficult times both at home and abroad." the ministers said in a statement after an emergency meeting. "We are determined to do our best." With Obuchi's Liberal Democratic Party firmly in control of parliament, the changes were not expected to bring any major shift in political or economic policies.

>-AirFranceforcingpilotsto speakEnglish PARIS(AP) - Parlez-vous anglais? Air France pilots on final approach to Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport will have to from now on. France's national airline said the decision to order its pilots to speak English in all radio communication with air traffic control is designed to improve safety. But French enthusiasts are outraged and say it's another example of the English language's creeping worldwide dominance . Air France officials, defending the policy that took effect March 23, contend that the language spoken by pilots and air traffic control is not a question of culture. "Often, other pilots in the area who don't speak French can't understand when the pilots and the control tower communicates," said Jean-Claude Couturier, a spokesman for Air France. "We wanted to do this before something tragic happened." But Marceau Dechamps, vice president of the group Defense of the French Language. said the prohibition of French was "inconceivable ." "Frenc h pilots should absolutely be allowed to speak French," he said . The argument that the new rule improves safety for surrounding pilots is flawed, Dechamps said, contending that the new rule impedes communication. "If you don't know the language of the country, it's good to speak in English, but to tell French people not to speak French is foolish," Dechamps said. Last week, Quebec's minister responsible for the French language Charter, Louise Beaudoin. lambasted the decision as "scandalous." "The imperialism of English must have some limits," said Beaudoin on a visit to Paris on Tuesday. The French government is reserving judgment on Air France's decision until it can study the decision's impact on safety, French Foreign Ministry deputy spokesman Francois Rivasseau said .

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - Attention Disney workers : Don't throw out those razors just yet. A week ago, Walt Disney executives said they were relaxing a decades-old policy that prohibited theme-park workers from sporting mustaches on the job. But the policy has a caveat : You can only grow a mustache on vacation, and not at work. Walt Disney World spokesman Bill Warren said there's noth ing unusual about the caveat in the policy. "It's a very common corporate guideline that you should grow a mustache on your vacation so you wouldn 't have an unkempt appearance," Warren said. 'Tm not a hair expert, but I'm sure someone can grow a mustache in a reasonable amount of time." Warren said apparent confusion among workers means that "somebody didn't get the message." Disney officials decided to scrap the mustache ban - which had been in place since 1957 - in order to make it easier to recruit employees in a tight labor market.

KAMPALA,Uganda (AP) - The 530 people who died in a doomsday cult's chapel burned alive, consumed by gasolinefueled flames and trapped behind doors and windows bolted from the outside, forensic tests showed Tuesday. A.B.M. Lugudo, deputy commissioner of Uganda's forensics agency. said investigators are trying to learn what role may have been played by three people whose corpses, less thoroughly charred, were found in a separate room of the chapel. "We are still looking to see if these people started the fire and tried to run away, but got caught up in the fire," he said . The explosive fire destroyed the Christian doomsday sect's chapel at Kanungu on March 17 and killed everyone inside. The blaze prompted a search that uncovered 394 bodies at compounds connected to the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God in southwestern Uganda. The key suspects have always been the cult leaders, although investigators have yet to determine whether they too died in their sect's cataclysmic end. "It's possible they are still at large," said Richard Buteera, director of Public Prosecutions. "If they are alive, it's just a matter of hunting them down." Uganda suspended digging for any more victims on Friday, stung by press criticism for putting bare -handed jail inmates to work exhuming corpses. Investigators say they will resume the exhumations only when they have the proper equipment including rubber gloves. "We will be meeting with police to assess where we are and where the areas of need are before making a formal appeal for international help," Edward Rugamya, minister of Internal Affairs, told The Associated Press. Uganda has repeatedly complained it lacks proper resources to investigate the deaths, the worst cult tragedy of modern times.

1n Stacey Nelson-Waggoner rapecase Supreme Court hearsarguments SALTLAKECITY(AP)- The Utah State Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday on whether the trial of convicted rapist Stacey Nelson-Waggonerwas prejudiced by testimony from two women, including one at the center of his first trial where he was acquitted ln all, five women have accused NelsonWaggoner of raping them and two others said he sexuallyassaulted them. ln the man's first trial. he was acquitted of rape. ln his second rape trial. Nelson-Waggoner

faced his accuser as well as the two other women: the woman from his first trial and an alleged victim of rape in a case that has not yet gone to trial. Deputy Utah attorney general Tom Brunker said the two women's testimony was used to buttress the victim's credibilitybecause all of their stories were similar "He wants to construct five artificial 'he saidshe said' cases;· Brunker said. But defense attorney Ken Brown argued if the rape case had been tried simply on its merits, his

client would have been found innocent. The two women's testimony prejudiced the jury, he argued. 'This case, if you followthe law,should have resulted in an acquittal for my client,"he said. He said it would have been difficult for the jury to ignore the number of alleged victims brought to the stand during the second trial. Without the women's testimony "it was a very thin case,"he argued. The court took the arguments under advisement.

Hatch calls for replacing the tax system, abolishing IRS, by 2005 SALTLAKECITY(AP)- Sen. Orrin Hatch on Tuesday called for replacing the federal tax system during the next five years.

As a presidential candidate last year, Hatch had called for abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and building an entirely new tax system. 'The tax code last year included over 2.8 million words.

Hatch, R-Utah. He said his first bill will call for abolishing the alternative minimum tax. Hatch called it "a major source of complexity that is beyond repair." Hatch said he also plans to propose simplifying the earned income tax credit, a tax cut intended to help the poor. Hatch said "the computation of the credit is so complicated that many professional tax preparers do not even know how it works." Hatch wants to rework the capital gains tax paid on sales of such things as stocks or homes.

He said they now require a 54-line Schedule D accompanied by two worksheets and seven pages of instructions. He proposed allowing taxpayers to exclude 50 percent of their capital gains in a year from such taxes. and taxing the rest at ordinary income rates. He said that is less complicated. Hatch also wants to repeal provisions that phase out benefits of personal exemptions and itemized deductions for wealthy taxpayers. And he wants to equalize interest rates that corporate taxpayers must pay the IRSor that they receive from the JRSfor overpayments.

SALTLAKECITY (AP)- Daron Malmborg was happily motoring for 11 months with special Utah Olympic license plates that read "SCNDL."Get it? It means scandal. But last week, state Motor Vehicle Division officials ordered him to turn in the plates or lose his vehicle registration. The agency told The Associated Press the plates shouldn't have been approved in the first place. "We just thought it was not appropriate to put ·scandal· on the Olympic plate,· said Lynette Byrd, a supervisor in charge of vanity plates. Malmborg was told he could display "SCNDL"on any other Utah license plate design, but not on the special Olympic plate, which promotes the scandal-scarred 2002 Winter Games. Malmborg turned to his family attorney - license plate "ISUE4U'.who referred him to the American Civil Liberties Union . "We hope the state will not add to the embarrassment of the Olympic scandal by violating Daron's protected First Amendment rights," said Carole Gnade, the ACLU'sUtah director.

GeneralTips With any excursioninto nature, there are alwaysinherent risks involved. Many of the most common problems can be completelyavoidedif students know what to watch for. From a book by Dave Hall called Hiking Utah the followingis a list of safety measures for campingand hiking: • Be especiallycareful with fires. • Watch weather carefullyso you won't be caught in a storm • Get the latest update on road conditions, water levels,and/ or snow depths. • Don't hike at night. • Never split up in the back country: alwayskeep your party together. • Stayon the trail unless you are an experiencedhiker. • Knowthe symptomsand treatments for hypothermia. • Don't drink contaminated water. • Study basic survivaland first .aid before leavinghome. • Don't eat wild mushrooms or other plants in the back country unless you are positive of the identification. • Avoidhiking alone. • Don't exhaust yourself by trying to travel too far too fast. • Don't wait until you're confused to look at your map. • If you get lost, don't panic.

• Don't take any chances while in the back country such as climbing cliffs.jumping ravines or canyons, or challengingshaky tree "bridges· over streams. • Stayclear of all wild animals.

Logan Canyon home to many trails for spring hiking BRIAN CARDALL

Staff Writer

As the snow line slowlyrecedes to higher elevations and the sun lingers a bit longer in the western sky,a type of primitive urge is awakened in most of us to get out, explore and visit Mother Nature on her terms. The area surrounding Logan offers a number of outdoor recreation opportunities. "Perhaps the best place to go hiking this early in the season would be the Wind Cave Trail,"said L J Western, Information Assistant at the Logan Ranger District of the Forest Service. "Most trails are still covered in patchy

snow and mud. The Wind Cave Trail is usually the first to dry out.· The trail head is located about five miles up Logan Canyon across from the Guinavah-Malibucampground. The trail itself is fairlysteep and roughly two miles long one way,Western said. Another popular area is the River Trail. Due to its proximity to Logan and easy hiking grade, the RiverTrail is a good choice for someone who wants to get out for a few hours and enjoy a warm spring day.The trail is free of snow, but there is a bit of danger due to the possibilityof avalanches that come out of the canyons high above, Western said.

The Logan Canyon River Trail starts near the mnuth nf Lngan canyon and runs along the

riverfor three miles ending at Spring Hollow. The trail is open to hikers, bikersand horses.

The RiverTrail starts at the mouth of Logan Canyon across from the Forest Service boundary sign. It continues up the canyon followingthe Logan Riverfor about four miles.Accessto the trail at points other than the trail head is good since it passes close to three Forest Servicecampgrounds, all of which can be used as enter/exit points. "Anyonegoing out this time of year need to be extremely careful since there is still winter/spring type conditions,"Western said. Anything could happen from unexpected avalanches to sudden snow storms, she said "Hypothermia is still very much a possibility."she said. J.C.Bush, from Al's Sporting Goods in North Logan.has several suggestions as to what to take in order to be prepared. "Afleece jacket or windbreaker of some type is a must." he said. "It may be hot and sunny in the valley,but in the canyon things can cool off unexpectedly,especiallyin the shadows." A good pair of boots is important to provide feet and ankles with ample support. Also,it is nice to take a light pack loaded with water. maps, a flashlight and a simple first-aid kit, he said. There are several trail guides available for a more detailed list of hikes around Logan. The BridgerlandTravel Council has put out a guide containing 15 of the most popular trails in the area. It is available free at the Logan Ranger District office at the mouth of Logan Canyon or can be found at most sporting goods stores around town. Another valuable resource is a book called Cache Trails,by John Wood. It contains detailed descriptions of 40 trails around Cache Valley.The book is currently out of print, but it can Julia Abelmann start, the_two_-miletrek up ~heWind Cavestrail in LoganCanyon be found online through the Stoke's T1!esdayafte:iwon.

The life of a recycling guru TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT/

Doug Smeath

Spring h a s arrived. Earth Day is approaching. T h e QUAD is covered with sun worshipers, and students, across the Utah State University campus are wearing shorts and sandals. Just about everyone is thinking of nature. The issue of environmentalism is always being debated. Hopefully there aren't too many people who would argue polluted water and air filled with smog are better than a clean, fresh environment. But almost everyone disagrees about how to go about keeping Mother Nature happy. Call me a tree-hugger. Call me obsessive. Calf me an environmentalist freak if you want. I say you can never do too much in the way of environmentalism. That is why I have set up a recycling program in my residence hall room. That is why all my co-workers now think twice before throwing away mixed paper in front of me - and why they'd have to be stupid to chuck an aluminum can with me anywhere within the same ZIP code. Yes, I have a well-developed reputation as a nature lover. For some people, my obsession goes too far. But just give me a chance. I will prove that environmentalism is more than essential to the environment. It's also beneficial to you - the recycler, the bus rider, the conscientious camper economically, physically and

spiritually. Since I was 10, I have planned on single-handedly improving life for all the citizens of Earth. At first I just thought that meant recycling everything cou Id. Over the past 10 years, I've come to the point where I can't look at an aluminum can without trying to imagine what it will be in its next, post-recycling life. I can't look at a plastic container without wondering whether it is "PET" (polyethylene tererphtthalate) or "HOPE" (high density polyethylene). Since then, I have, of course, realized there are other things I can do for the environment. And I've realized these things, even without their environmental benefits, make my life better. So I ride the bus. I don't have to pay for gas or car payments. I don't have to deal with traffic, road rage and that cramp I get in my knee when I drive too long.And every time I get out of the bus, I breathe a deep breath and think about how much more exhaust I would be breathing in if I and my fellow bus riders had each driven separate cars. And I refuse to litter. I don't run the risk of finding out firsthand how much higher than the "minimum fine for littering" the local police are willing to go. I don't deal with funny looks from people who can't understand why I couldn't carry that gum wrapper a few feet to the garbage can. And I don't feel the pangs of guilt when I see a roadside covered with other people's trash. I always turn unneeded Iights and electrical equipment off, and I yell at my

friends and family when they don't do the same. At home, I save my parents the extra expense by, I like to think, at least slightly reducing their electrical bi 11. On campus, I do my (very) small part to save the university some money. More importantly though, I feel good thinking about the energy waste I helped prevent by clicking off the switch. And I recycle. Oh, do I recycle! A wall in my living room is devoted to recycling - I even free-handed a drawing of that three-arrow recycling symbol, and I can't draw. We have four cardboard boxes, each bearing a piece of scratch paper on the back of which I wrote an extensive list of what's to be put in that box ("Mixed paper - newspaper, colored paper, computer paper, lined paper ANY PAPER"). In class, I take all my notes on the backs of old sheets of paper, paper with last semester's sociology papers printed on them. In fact, I can't remember the last time I used a fresh sheet of notebook paper. ~ There is a lot more I should and could do. I wish I would take a weekly walk through the canyon with a bag to put litter in. I wish I could invent some kind of fuel-efficient car. I wish I could discover the secret behind harnessing solar energy. I wish I could convince everyone in the world to do his or her part. I can't, but what I do is better than nothing. And when I die and find out God is a treehugging granola environmentalist, I'll be glad I did my part.

Ask people about recycling and they'll probably think of aluminum cans and maybe newspapers or old tires.

In case of attack, don't run AsK TI-IEEXPERTS / Emily Proctor

Pablo ( n a m e

changed) is a junior studying at Utah State University. Ev e r y

morning at 5:30, he stands on his front porch and peers into the predawn light. He scans trees and bushes, before he bolts across the lawn, past a small tree and jumps into his unlocked car. "I keep it unlocked sometimes," he said, "because a mountain lion could attack me in the time it takes to fumble with my keys." The mountain lion would, he said, perch in the small tree next to his car. "I'm scared it will jump down and eat me." Pablo and his wife live in a little house just below Old Main Hill, near a small pasture that is frequently visited by a couple of deer. He is afraid a mountain lion will come looking for deer and find him instead. Mortimer (name changed), 24, lives half a block from Pablo. He is afraid of sharks, bears, cow moose and blood sucking mosquitoes. And now, after talking with Pablo, he's afraid of mountain lions. But some of Mortimer's fears are based upon real experiences. He was once charged by a mother grizzly in Alaska. "We were just walking down the road, and turned a corner and saw two bear cubs playing in a mud puddle," he said. He and his friend stopped dead in their tracks, and didn't run when the mother bear came charging at them . Luckily she stopped within 10 feet of them before turning into the woods. Mortimer was also chased down the street by a moose, but escaped injury by climbing on top of an A-frame house and waiting 15 minutes for the moose to leave. On one hand, the world is a dangerous place. I've heard people express fears of bears, cougars, snakes, hobo spiders,

TheBigCatIS USU wins two straight against SUU backagain •

AARON MORTON

Assistant Sports Editor

Monday night may have been the beginning of a Cinderella Story USEY HOBSON

Sports Editor

If the sporting world is made of Cinderella stories, then Andres Galarraga was made for the sporting world. After all, it doesn't get more Cinderella than Galarraga·s performance on opening night at Turner Field in Atlanta. The Big Cat did it all. from a game saving catch to a game winning 400-foot home run to center field - all this after missing the entire 1999 season because of a cancerous tumor in his back. "I'm really excited. It's like a movie," Galarraga told the Associated Press. "lt's something really special. There are no words to say how happy I am: Galarraga, who will turn 39 before the end of the season, is returning from something few athletes his age have had to endure. When he learned of the cancer in the spring of 1999. it wasn't just career threatenjng news the doctors were telling him. it was life-threatening. Many people never expected Mm to play again, and many more never expected him to return to his 1998 form when he hit .305 with 44 home runs and 121 RBI. ·rt was perfect," teammate Greg Maddux told the Associated Press with regards to Galarraga's Cinderella comeback. "But it's kind of corny. You say it's not going to happen, and it does. It's sort of coot.· Cool? It was cool all right, but there may be some better words to describe it, like scripted, fairy tale. dramatic and unbelievable. Until Galarraga's blast in the sixth inning off of Colorado Rockie pitcher Pedro Astacio, the Braves had only two hits. When the Big Cat ripped Astacio's 1-0 pitch over the fence, the 42,255 fans at Turner Field gave Galarraga his third standing ovation of the game, and remained on their feet until he stepped out of the dugout and tipped his helmet to them. While it was Galaragga's bat in the bottom of the seventh inning that won the game, it was his glove work in the top of the inning that saved it. After Maddux intentionally walked Bret Mayne to load the bases, Astacio hit a line drive down the baseline. Galarraga, who robbed Todd Helton of a base hit earlier in the inning, dove to his left, smothered the ball. picked himself up and touched first base for the final out. Had Astacio's hit slipped through, it might have cleared the bases. ·rt was a great thing." Maddux said. "First he makes the great play to save two or three runs. and then he hits a home run to win the game.· ·1 feel really good: Galarraga said. ·1 feel really comfortable. I'm hoping to contribute all year." If the Galarraga of 1998 is really back, as Monday's performance seemed to indicate, and he does contribute all year, then we might be watching a made-for-television movie in two or three years called, "The Andres Galarraga Story." Heartwarming.

Confidence and revenge. These two words were likely in the minds of the Aggies Tuesday afternoon as they breezed to two wins against Southern Utah University, 8-0 and 7-4. Sandy Taylor's two home runs and complete games from pitchers Kristin Hommel and Kelly Warner helped avenge the Aggies' previous two losses to SUU in Cedar City and give them some much needed confidence going into a two-game series at Sacramento State. "They felt confident about every part of the game," head coach Pam McCreesh said. Taylor led the Aggie bats with two almost identical home runs to center field. On both occasions. SUU's Katye Gillman knocked over the plastic outfield fence trying to track down the ball. Taylor was 5-for-6 on the day and also had two doubles and one stolen base. "I was seeing the ball really well," Taylor said. USU (13-23) also dominated on the mound. In the first game,

USUpitcher Kelly Warner (6) deliversa pitch during USU's 7-4 victory over Southern Wair in game two of Tue,day', double/reader.

Hommel (6-10) pitched a one-hitter over five innings as the game was shortened by the eight-run lead mercy rule. Although Warner gave up 11 hits in the second game, she found ways to get out of jams. In the

fourth inning, she struck out a Thunderbird batter looking, leaving the bases loaded. It was one of only two strikeouts for her all day. "I thrive off those situations," Warner said. ·rt pumps me up."

The wins were particularly important because USU wanted to show up SUU (4-29) after losing 6-3 and 11-10 on the road to them on March 4. "We made a fool of ourselves (in Cedar City)." Warner said.

"They wanted revenge," McCreesh said. The 125 fans at the LaRee and LeGrand Johnson Field also watched the USU offense snap out of a two-game funk -

Injuriesmay have kept USU out of Nationals LYNNETTEHOFFMAN

Sports Writer

Hopes of challenging for a spot at nationals were left unfulfilled for the Utah State University gymnastics team. Competing against four nationally ranked teams at the regional meet in Minneapolis, Minn., Saturday night, the Aggies struggled on two events. The University of Utah won the meet with 196.325, leaving the remaining teams in a fight for second. The University of West Virginia narrowly edged out the University of Denver, 195.475 to 195.45, and Minnesota followed with 194.75. Utah State University was next with 192.950, finishing in front of Southern Utah University, which scored 191.8. ·rt was unsettling," USU head coach Ray Corn said of the meet. "Not undoing, but unsettling." Just as in the Big West Championships two weeks ago. a pre-meet warm-up injury dampened the Aggies· spirits. This time it was freshman all-arounder Kristen Bloom, who injured her knee while practicing a handspring front vault. She asked to compete on bars and beam, but the doctors arrived too late to make a decision, so Corn opted to play it safe and pull her from the competition. Tm glad we did though because she is sore and stiff today," Corn said Sunday. The seriousness of Bloom's injury won't be determined until she meets with doctors in Logan. "It took the wind out of our sails," Corn said, particularly on beam and floor. For senior Christy Denson the meet was an eerie repeat of last year's regional competition, which was held in Logan . Both years she had phenomenal regular season competitions, and was nationally ranked entering the meet, but suffered uncharacteristic falls on beam. This time she fell on her front tuck mount, which took her out of contention for a place at nationals. The meet began well for the Aggies. Although not spectacular. they vaulted solidly. Scores were low, but Corn said he expected that. Denson and freshman Kristen Fargo led the event with 9.7s, and Megan Woolstenhulme scored 9.65. The Aggies went five-for-five on bars. Denson, ranked second in the nation on bars, scored a near perfect 9.95,

"We lost because we couldn't hit." Beckstrand said. "We just didn 't play like a team," Wolford said. "We had too many strike outs. We hit the ball right to them." rhe Aggies went to work after the game to improve their hitting, starting batting practice as soon as the post-game team meeting ended. "It's a rough loss," Wolford

added . "It's tough to walk away from ." Despite the loss, Wolford said his team will keep going and keep working hard. "The game has to come from them," he said of his players. ·There is only so much the coaches can do. The rest is mental." The two losses sent the Aggies overall season record to 1-6. They hope to improve their record when they travel to Missoula, Mont., this weekend to play the University of Montana. USU's lone victory came earlier this season against CNCC.

She led her teammates on floor and opened with a double layout for her first pass. But the Aggies were forced to count a fall on floor, when Stephanie Huff and Erin Maguire each fell. With eight-tenths deductions on beam and a fall on floor, the Aggies couldn't pull past the tough competition. "The end has come too soon," Corn said.

Thunderbird batters (she retired SUU's first eight batters) in the top of the second. and Utah State piled three more runs. Taylor knocked in Markean Neal on a single up the middle to give the Aggies a 4-0 lead. That was followed by RBI singles from Nickle and Dejarnette. In the third inning, Neal doubled and scored, following Aimee Johnson for USU's seventh and eighth runs. Heather Curtis and Stephanie Vasarhely knocked in the runs. respectively. Although the Thunderbirds had the lead early in the second game, the Aggies were not worried. "They knew they were going to win," McCreesh said. Utah State quickly recovered from the first inning 1-0 deficit as Taylor again drove in two runs on a home run. Vasarhely was rewarded for beating out the throw at first as she scored off Taylor's blast.

The top of the USU order struck again in the third inning as Taylor doubled-in Curtis. Vasarhely and Taylor would also score in the inning for a 5-1 lead. The Thunderbirds made things interesting when they capitalized on some questionable first base calls. Kelly Grundy's three-run with two outs closed the gap to 5-4. But again, the Aggies responded. Aimee Johnson batted in Neal and Rodriguez with a little blooper over first base to extend the USU lead to three runs. In the final inning, Neal's diving catch in the infield clinched the win for USU. Neal was filling in for Tiffany Pugmire who was accidentally kicked sliding into second for her 12th steal on the season. McCreesh said the only injury Pugmire sustained was a headache, and she expects her to be ready to go Saturday against Sacramento State .

Norman always has masters on mind "I haven't played in front of that type of emotion ever in my life," he said. "The 13th hole will be deeply etched in my mind until the day I die, and I'll probably still have it, wherever I'm going." He could feel the energr slip inside the ropes and try to force his bal away from trouble and into the hole . It's part of the Masters mystique that seemed to work for Nicklaus in '86 and Crenshaw in '95. It never works for the Shark. "It's a shame he hasn't won it," Tiger Woods said . "It's tough to imagine going through something like that and keep coming back again and again and again. It's a credit to what kind of person he is." What kind would that be? A glutton for punishment? Resilient? A dreamer? Norman tends to forget that three holes after the roars cascaded around the 13th green last year, Olazabal had three-stroke lead and was able to glide up the 18th fairway for his second green jacket - two more than Norman owns. He is more likely to soak up the beauty of the azaleas behind the 12th green than remember he lost a ball in them last year in the third round. "People like to talk about the bad things," Norman said. "I flood myself with memories of the good shots. Sure, I can think about the great shots that have happened against me because they were great shots. "I don't ever let the negative energy of this place come in and try to pollute my mind ." Norman is back again for his 20th start in the Masters. At 45, he expects to have a realistic chance in the next eight majors . One more win, especia lly a major in America, might finally be enough to give Norman his due. "I view him as a great player," David Duval said. "Everyone looks at him and thinks he should have won 10 to 12 majors. He put himself there so many times he almost made it look routine . But it's not that easy. "When you're there so many times, a lot of people wonder what went wrong. I'm not sure there is anything wrong." Norman dominated golf for the better part of two decades. During one stretch, he was in the top 20 in 14 consecutive majors. Unfortunately, he is remembered more for the majors he didn't win than the dozen majors in which he contended on Sunday. And that might be a greater injustice than get ting locked out of the Champions Locker Room at Augusta. Doug Ferguson is a sports columnists for the

ON THE FRINGE/ DougFerguson

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) The Champions Locker Room at Augusta National Golf Club is still off limits to Greg Norman, and probably always will be. His fifth chance to win the Masters might have been his last. A year ago, he looked to the heavens when his 30-foot eagle putt dropped on the 13th hole Sunday and gave him a one -stroke lead, which lasted as long as it took Jose Maria Olazabal to make a 25-foot birdie on top of him. The rest of the script wrote itself, because it always does . Tom Weiskopf holds the record with four runner-up finishes in the Masters without winning, but think of the Augusta bridesmaid and a Shark swims into view. The fin cuts back and forth more slowly now than his first Masters 20 years ago, but it still propels him down Magnolia Lane for another crack at the prize he treasures the most. He hasn't won since his own tournament in Australia two years ago. Go back to the World Series of Golf - a tournament that no longer exists - to find his last victory in America . And yet, hope springs eternal at Augusta. "When I come in here, I feel very good about my chances," he said. "Whether it's Jack Nicklaus, who's won six times, or myself, who has never won it, we all want it. "I feel good here," he said. "It's heaven." It's been hell to watch. In 1986, needing only a par on the 18th hole to get into a playoff with Nicklaus, he bombed his approach over the green and made bogey. Norman led all four majors after 54 holes that year - the Saturday Slam - but won only the British Open. A year later , the green jacket appeared to be his until Larry Mize holed a 140 -foot chip on the second playoff hole for a victory that was even more stunning than when Bob Tway holed a bunker shot on the 72nd hole to win the PGA Championship just eight months earlier . In '95, Norman needed a birdie on the 17th hole for a chance to make a run at Ben Crenshaw. With a sand wedge in his hands, he couldn't get close. Then there was 1996, the cruelest of them all, the year Norman squandered his sixstroke lead after only 11 holes and went on to finish five shots behind Nick Faldo . By the time last year rolled around, Norman was a sentimental favorite at Augusta.

DiCaprio raisescontroversy CBS prizespecial wadesintomurky after15minutes withClinton watersof corporate convergence NEW YORK(AP)- Was Leo·s interview with Bill planned, or not? ABC News and the White House have different versions of whether Leonardo Dicaprio came last Friday expecting to conduct a sit-down interview · for the network with President Clinton. The White House insists that rncaprio's inter• view was requested weeks earlier and his questions submitted a day ahead. But the network denies that the 25-year-old actor was meant to play the role of a TV journalist whenhe taped. a segment for an upcoming ABC News special on the environment. "Our expectation all along had been that this would be a walking tour to observe some recent changes - the 'greening' of the White House," A'BC spokeswoman Eileen Murphy said Tuesday. "Allof our conversations with the White House were about a casual walk-through tour with President Clinton. not a sit-down interview," Then on Friday,Murphy said, dinton unexpectedly offered DiCaprio a sit-down interview instead. During their conversation, which lasted about 15 minutes, Clinton discussed his policy on global warming and other environmental issues. Back at ABC News. there was disc.ontent when staffers heard that a movie star had been given this plum of a newsgathering assignment . Murphy said ABC News chief David Westin, . who learned about the intemew after the fact,sent an e-mail Saturday assuring his colleagues that "all roles of journalist must be played by journalists." "No one is that stupid" as to send DiCaprio to conduct a presidential interview for ABC News. Westin wrote. But White House deputy press secretary Jake Siewert disputed this account Tuesday. Siewert said the interview request was submitted in February and that ABC News indicated it was "Leonardo DiCaprio that would ask the questions." Murphy countered, "We're going to have to agree to disagree on this one." She added, "In the end, you should really judge us by what we put on the air." And according to David Westin's e-mail. when the special airs on or around Earth Day, April 22, DiCaprio's White House footage may end up in the recyclingbin .

products. "The drastic is the most effective and the most conservative approach to dealing with a monopoly," Manishin said. The alternative is a set of court-enforced provisions that rarely curb behavior effectively, he said. Such an injunction, Manishin said. would be a "black hole of judicial regulation." "Black holes suck up everything around them - it would suck up all the resources of the Justice Department, all the time of the judge, and all the competitors would be focused on one courtroom in Washington where they would run when they had a complaint about Big Brother Bill,"he said. Jonathan Zuck, president of the Association for Competitive Technology. a pro-Microsoft group , said the idea of breaking up the company is "clearly universally recognized as ludicrous." 'The whole point of a remedy is it's supposed to do some good. It's not meant to be punitive," Zuck said. "So no matter how mad the (plaintiffs) may be at Microsoft, remedies are supposed to create a better environment." Grimes acknowledged that a company breakup may not ride well with the public. whose opinion may be a factor to Jackson, but it may be the easiest way to enforce antitrust laws. "Once it's broken up, you don't need to supervise it anymore because you just have competing companies," he said. "Whereas, if you try to use behavioral sanctions that have to be monitored. you end up with the potential for a lot of government supervision of Microsoft's behavior, and no one wants that."

a "power grab." "Is this bureaucracy up here equipped to make these decisions?" asked Rep. Michael Bilirakis. R-Fla.. the bill's chief sponsor. "Do we want politics determining life and death matters? I think not." Supporters of the current system also argue that states would have little incentive to encourage organ donation if the organs were being shipped to other states. "If the fruits of your labor are going to be sent to another part of this country, that increases the chances that you won·t work as hard," said Democratic Rep. Thomas Barrett of Wisconsin. where donation rates are high and the state has sued HHS to stop the new transplant regulations . Congress has intervened in this emotional battle before , keeping the HHS reg-

NEW YORK (AP)- On an upcoming CBS entertainment special with Leeza Gibbons. creators of the Web portal iWon.com will give away $10 million to a lucky person who has used the service over the past few months. What most viewers won't be aware of is CBS's prize: a halfhour of prime-time exposure for an Internet company in which it owns a majority stake. The "iWon.com Annual S10 Mi11ionGiveaway" special is the latest example of how the murky waters of convergence affect television networks. which are just one part of huge media companies in the new wired world. CBS contends the April 15 special is like "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" with a prize 10 times bigger. Others smell something different. "This is clearly a commercial for a CBS investment and it needs to be labeled as such," said Jeffrey Chester, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Media Education. CBS Corp. invested $30 million last fall in an Internet startup, ere Bulldog Inc., which created iWon.com. It is a portal that provides links to other Web services, a direct competitor to the wildly successful Yahoo! site. iWon.com·s gimmick is dispensing prize money to people who visit the site, with $25 million of CBS's investment to be used for that. Periodic prize giveaways have already occurred as cut-ins on CBS shows like "Touched By an Angel" and "60 Minutes II." All indications are the strategy has succeeded; iWon.com is one of the Internet's

ulations on hold for nearly two years. In the meantime, Congress ordered the Institute of Medicine to study the system. In its report, the institute recommended that HHS assert more oversight over the transplant system. It also backed up the core of the HHS regulation, recommending that the geographic barriers be broken down. Opponents of the legislation repeatedly cited that report as they argued that Congress should not strip the HHS of its authority. "It turns those decisions over to a private bureaucratic organization, which in the end has no real accountability to taxpayers," said Rep. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio . The Justice Department has said giving control over legally enforceable policy to a private group may be uncon sti tut ion a I. Opponents also object to provisions that limit the amount of data about hospi -

fastest-growing sites. The $10 million live television giveaway, on the day taxes are due, is the culmination of the campaign. "This show is tremendous for us," said Bill Daugherty, founder and co-chief executive of ere Bulldog. "Everyone talks about convergence in the industry that it has become a buzzword that is meaningless. Here we've done it in an opposite way. We've taken a site that is 100 percent Internet and gone backwards to traditional media." Critics like Chester believe this type of convergence erodes the public's confidence in what they are watching. ABC took heat last month for airing segments on "Good Morning America" with the sockpuppet spokesman for Pets.com. without revealing that ABC's parent Walt Disney Co. bought a 5 percent stake in the Web site a month earlier. NBC has also bought half of the World Wrestling Federation's new "extreme" football league and agreed to broadcast its games on prime time. Chester said the Federal · Communications Commission should establish rules requiring disclosure of business relationships that affect programming like the "iWon.com Annual $10 Million Giveaway." "This is not an entertainment show," Chester said. "This is more of an infomercial. It should be labeled as an infomercial for the company. This is a problem that we're going to have to face in this frenzied advertising and content world that we have created."

tal performance that must be made public and make it difficult for the HHS to choose an alternate contractor to run the system. The HHS regulations took effect last month, and the transplant network is now working on a new policy for distribution of livers, which have engendered the greatest controversy. Meanwhile. the House declined to nullify state laws passed in Louisiana, Texas and Wisconsin that bar donated organs from crossing state borders unless there are no medical matches inside the state . The transplant world has been consumed by the intense argument over distribution policy for two years . Shalala said she hopes the Senate will find a compromise . The House vote, she predicted, will ultimately be seen as "an unfortunate footnote to larger good-faith efforts that are under way to achieve the best organ transplant system possible."

0BUCHI Continuedfrom Page2 official in the LDP, has a reputation as a conservative, and analysts said he would come under considerable pressure to continue Obuchi's initiatives . Obuchi was being kept alive on a respirator in a Tokyo hospital, where he was reportedly joined by his wife and three children and his brother. Officials said it was clear he would not be able to resume his duties. After two days of keeping a tight lid on information about Obuchi's condition or the possibility of replacing him, the government sought Tuesday to quickly move through the formal process for a successor. The Cabinet resignation was the first step. Next , LOP members in Parliament are to vote Wednesday morning on a party president to replace Obuchi, LDP officials said .

In rebuttal to "Democratic answers for Ohio" written in one Kade's Korner, and his cunning attempt to once again transcend his political beliefs not by telling his readers why his views are cor:ect but by slandering the Democratic Par!y an~ telling us_why only one person is a poor choice I find rather ignorant coverage. Now let's discuss where George W. Bush stands on a few issues, since issues are what affects all of us, the people . Issue #1: The environment. It would appear that Bush is greatly concerned about it since his state is the #1 polluted state in the country and has not made much effort to correct the problem. Issue #2: Sex Education. Much like the divine intelligence of this state's conservative nature all children will be left in the dark about sex, pregnancy and diseases. That way the rest of the nation can, with enough ignorance, have a teen pregnancy rate as high as Utah. Issue #3: The death penalty. For a state (Utah) that is so against murder, you know that whole " Thou shalt not kill issue" that many of you profess to believe in, Bush has many supporters, and has racked up many dead people in Texas. . Finally Issue #4: Homosexual rights. '.ou know, human rights. It appears Mr. Bush believes they shouldn't have any, and believes they should not have any special rights protecting t_her:i from hate crimes acted out by imbalanced, pre1ud1ced people. If any of you agree with this j_ust_remember Gov_ernor Boggs and a certain exterm inatIon. or_ der he signed legalizing hate crimes against a maionty of the people in this state. Remember all men are created equal and have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness , which if I remember right was signed by one Thomas Jefferson. . In closing, Kade, for once try ~o deal with the issues at hand. They are what are important. Issues are what make a country progress or digress. If you actually think that one politician is more honest than the other you are more ignorant than I thought.

All j ustifi cati on aside , homo sexuality is wrong First and foremost, I would like to state that I am not a person who feels it is necessary or acceptable to seek out and cause hurt or harm to homosexuals. This solves nothing. And contradictory to the objectives of the individuals who practice this, it only fuels the fire of the gays, and strengthens their conviction to go out and push for special treatment. I will however state that I am very opposed to homosexuality. Using the excuse that " well, it ' s OK for me to have gay sex because some chimps somewhere in some remote part of the world have homosexual tendencies" is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. We are not a lower species. If we are going to operate under this logic , we might as well say that _it is all right to have sex for thre~ stra1ght_days and die of exhaustion because there Is a species of mouse that does this. Or, how about I go and find a nice female, have sex with her, and then let her eat me, because the praying mantis practices this . No matter how much you try and justify homosex uality, it is wrong. The_fact that homosexuals try to justify it only proves this .

Dan Boudrero

Bible does not j ustify homosexuality In past years, the campus homosexuals have us~d many means of manipulation and propaganda in order to win support for their cause. They have even attempted to use the Holy Bible to justify their sins. A recent letter to the editor claimed that homosexuality was a God-given trait with which certain individuals are born. After reading this , I was puzzled . I seem to have remembered that the Holy Bible condemned homo sexuality. I opened my Bible to Leviticus 18:22, and there it was : "Thou shalt not ' lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. " Other verses worth noting are Romans 1 :27, 1 Cori_nthians ~:9 , Jude 1 :7 and 1 Timothy 1:10, all of which describe homosexuality ;is an improper form of expressing one's sexuality. . With this in mind, I find it hard to believe that a loving and kind God would create individuals who are homosexuals, and then at the same time condemn homosexuality. It just doesn't make sense. Since I ~elieve in a loving and kind God , and believe the Bible , _I t~e:efore do not believe the notion that God makes ind1v1duals homosexuals .

OnKingdeathanniversary, familycallsattention to conspiracy ATLANTA(AP)- The family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. marked the 32nd anniversary of his assassination by calling attention Tuesday to a jury's recent finding that the government conspired in his death . Elsewhere, the life of the slain civil right's leader was commemorated with rallies, marches and, in Virginia, the establishment of an official King holiday. In Atlanta, Coretta Scott King helped place a wreath at the crypt of her husband, then called attention to last December's jury verdict in Memphis. Tenn "This April 4, we have been blessed to achieve a sense of closure as a result of the trial and verdict that have revealed the truth of the conspiracy that took his life," she said. She and other family members also announced that they have posted the complete trial transcript on the Internet, claiming the mainstream media has ignored or distorted details of the court proceedings. The family posted the transcript because "we owed it to Martin and we owed it to the millions of his followers and the nation he loved," she said. "...This one debt, at least, we can now mark paid in

FINALLYA JOB WITH FLEXIBLEHOURS

Prosecutors have long concluded that James Earl Ray acted alone in the April 4. 1968 shooting death and the Justice Department has refused to reopen the investigation. despite the King family's insistence that a far-reaching conspiracy was to blame. In December. the Memphis jury sided with the Kings in their wrongful death suit against Lloyd Jowers, a former restaurant owner who said he paid someone other than Ray to kill King. The family's lawyer claimed the fBI, CIA. the Mafia and the military were involved . Prosecutors and historians have largely dismissed the Memphis trial. saying the evidence was one-sided and concluding the jury's finding will have little impact on history . The anniversary was marked in other cities with rallies and marches. In Memphis. garbage collectors had the day off in recognition of the sanitation workers· strike that prompted King's fateful trip to that city. About 300 of the workers marched through the streets . In Chicago, the Rev. Jesse Jackson joined in a rally with other religious leaders . And in Virginia, Gov. Jim Gilmore

signed a bill that makes King's birthday a holiday unto itself. The observation of his birthday had shared the same day in January with those of two Confederate generals. Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. Gilmore's legislation creates a King holiday on the third Monday of January and a separate holiday for the two Confederates on the preceding Friday. giving about 140.000 state employees a paid, four-day holiday weekend. But NAACP leaders criticized Gilmore for a separate decision Tuesday to proclaim April Confederate History Month. "We have enough statues . school names. Confederate museums - enough stuff for the Confederacy, and we don't want our tax dollars used for our disrespect." said Salim Khalfani, executive director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Virginia. The governor def ended his plan. "I don't think we want to bury all the vestiges of Virginia history, whether it is Martin Luther King's life and his contributions to the state. whether it is Civil War history, or whether it is other aspects of Virginia history," Gilmore said.

CHAPTER TWO BOOKS

CLEVELAND (AP) - A neurosurgeon testified Tuesday that medical records fail to back up Dr. Sam Sheppard's claim that he was knocked unconscious by an intruder who beat his wife to death 46 years ago. Dr. Robert White's testimony came as prosecutors neared the end of their defense of the state in a wrongful imprisonment suit brought by the doctor's son, Sam Reese Sheppard. The Sheppard murder case inspired the TV series and film "The Fugitive." Sheppard was convicted of murder and spent almost a decade in prison before the

U.S. Supreme Court overturned the verdict in a groundbreaking ruling on the negative effects of pretrial publicity. He was acquitted at a retrial and died in 1970. Sam Reese Sheppard believes a handyman named Richard Eberling killed his mother. Eberling died in 1998 while serving life in prison for another murder . White. surgeon for the Cleveland police, has acted as a medical consultant to Pope John Paul II and is the retired head of neurosurgery at MetroHealth Medical Center. His testimony contradict-

ed that of Dr. William Fallon . another physician from MetroHealth, who testified earlier that Sheppard sustained serious injuries the morning his wife died that could not have been selfinflicted. Marilyn Sheppard's partly nude body was found sprawled on her bloodsoaked bed early on July 4. 1954, at the couple's home on Lake Erie. Sheppard insisted a bushyhaired intruder killed his wife and knocked him unconscious. Following the murder. Sheppard was taken to a nearby hospital run by his

family, where he stayed for four days . The right side of his face was swollen and he complained of pain in his neck. Heppard's brother. Steve, diagnosed him as being in shock and having a concussion. But White. who reviewed Sheppard's medical chart, said he had normal responses to neurological tests. "There's no evidence to support either a brain or a spinal cord injury," he said. White said some other of Sheppard's purported injuries, such as numbness in his left arm, could have been fabricated .

DIFFERENCES

The Democrats say NO, actually your dad isn't paying enough in taxes. In fact, your dad is a mean, cruel person for not wanting to give more of his money to the homeless. So, since he can't mana ge his money himself in a giving way we (the Democrats) will take his money and distribute it to these poor, hom eless people. So, your dad loses more money on taxes and another homeless person is given a handout and remains homeless. The Democrats take from the rich and give to the poor.

The Republicans don't take, 1-iut instead let the rich and poor get richer through a capitalistic system of having everyone work for what they have . So, let's say that someone offered you $2,000 a month and a place to live for free, would you take it? Of course you would. Still you must understand that money is coming from your father's pocket now and in the future it will come from your pocket. And even more that free money is propagating homelessness and thwarting prosperity.

So, if you are a person that thinks free money is a pretty neat idea and this caused you to be told you were a Democrat some time in your life (perhaps in high school), don't worry, you were probably ignorant. Reread my example and think about economics then decide. At least now you won't make an ignorant decision.

Republicans and Democrats comes into play. The Republicans say let's help your dad out by giving him a $20,000 tax break. That way he will have the money to hire another worker. Not only will this help your dad, but it will also give a person that didn 't have a job an opportunity to work and support himself/herself. This way everyone benefits.
