Panel addr esses Utah's diversity LfAH

CULLER

Assistant Ne-..vsEditor Panel members at Tuesday's President's Diversity Forum expressed appreciation for the acceptance they have encountered in Cache Valley and made suggestions for further integration of diversity at Utah State University and in the community. The topic of the panel was "Opportunities for Diversity in Utah - Part I: Ethnic Diversity." President George H. Emert. who began holding the diversity forums in 1993, said the purpose of the forum is to raise awareness. He asked the panel and audience mem bers to hold one word in mind throughout the forum: inclusive.

"One on one," Emert said: "I don't think you'll find anyone in our community who will back off from including (others)." The introductory speaker for the forum, Allison Lee Johnson , ~.aid the topic of ethnic diversity is important because society is changing so rapidly. Johnson is the president oif Lee Johnson Group and has worked for the department of defense and the U.S. Army, including extensiv,e work for the equal opportunity office of the Pentagon. In 1990, 25 percent of the nation's population were mir:1orities, while 9.2 percent in Utah welre, Johnson said. For 2000, it is expected that the nation·s minority population will have increased to 29 per-

cent. and Utah's to 12 percent, she said. "Do you get the feeling that things are shifting and starting to change?" she asked. Johnson said the approximate minority population of students and faculty at USU is 4 percent. She said although this number may seem low, she is excited because the efforts being made to increase ethnic diversity are becoming more successful. Johnson then asked the audience members to stretch their hands out in front of them, clasp their hands together and cross their thumbs. She asked which thumb was on top, and the responses varied. If one was asked to cross his or her thumbs in the opposite manner, it may seem

weird or awkward, she said. "A lot of what we do is like crossing your thumbs," she said. "In this forum, recross your thumbs." Johnson said an individual can get used to the difference of recrossing his or her thumbs, just as one can get used to a change in the ethnic makeup of the world around them. She asked those in attendance to keep in mind the points made in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven R. Covey throughout the forum . She explained how each habit could be applied to appreciation and acceptance of diversity. Johnson then posed two questions to the panel members . She first asked panel members

how they feel as an ethnic minority in Cache Valley in terms of support from the community. Grace C. Huerta , an assistant professor in secondary education, said she faced a real challenge to find acceptance and support in the community when she originally moved to the area. Huerta is of MexicanAmerican descent, and was born in East Los Angeles. "People are actually born in East L.A.,"she said . "It's not just a movie." Huerta said she has witnessed resistance to diversity and numerous stereotyped attitudes toward the Latin community . These include negative attitudes about the labor mar-

Loss of Widstoe fe nce leaves gap

for advertisers l.ARAGALE Staff Writer It's a campus eyesore, but even those who hate it agree the temporary wall around the Widtsoe Hall construction site, near the Taggart Student Center, has been worth its weight in advertising space. The wall will come down next year when Widtsoe is complete forcing various cam ~ pus and community groups to find another way to reach masses of students with their news. The Theater Arts Department has appreciated the convenient forum. but Kirsten Watkins, public relations specialist for the department, said it's only one way to advertise. ·r think it's just something that happened naturally," she said. "Students saw it as an

opportunity to put up fliers, and when it's gone I think people will find other opportunities as well." Liz Adams, former Associated Students of Utah State University Arts and Lectures vice president , isn't as indifferent about it. "Oh, definitely," she said of depending on the wall for advertising. "We are so worried about when it's not there." She said high traffic makes the area ideal. Hundreds of students walk past the wall every day and can't help but read the posted ads , she said. "Even when you·re stapling them on the fence, people will stop and read them," she said. "It's been a really good way to reach a lot of students." Arts and Lectures has seen

Hikerfalls to her death DOUG SMEATH

Assistant Features Editor A 24-year-old woman from Bend , Ore ., apparently slipped and fell to her death in a hiking accident Sunday night in Logan Canyon . Aubrey Marie Rau 's body was found Monday afternoon at approximately 1:35 by a hiker not from Logan, according to a news release from the Cache County Sheriff's Office .

House passes bill rewarding states tough on gun violators McCollum, R-Fla., sets aside $100 million over five years in grants for states that ensure a mandatory minimum sentence of five years without parole for any person who uses or carries a firearm during a violent crime or serious drug trafficking offense. A state can also qualify if it demands a minimum of five years for a person convicted of possessing a firearm and who has a prior conviction for a violent crime. McCollum said it was "designed to get at the heart of a national tragedy." He said the aim was to "send gun-wielding criminals an unmistakable message - we will not tolerate gun crimes." It has yet to be taken up by the Senate. The bill takes its name from a program started by the Justice Department in Richmond in 1997. The Virginia capital, which had

WASHINGTON(AP)House Republicans,taking their cue from a Richmond, Va.,initiative. on Tuesday pushed through legislation providing financial incentives to states that impose tough mandatory sentences on criminals who carry guns. The "Project ExileAct" passed 358-60, although some Democrats discounted the act as a small-scale measure put up to deflect attention from the failure of Congress to pass more substantial gun control legislation. President Clinton traveled to Annapolis, Md.. Tuesday to congratulate that state for being the first in the nation to require built-in locks on guns and enact other tough gun safety regulations. The message he carried was that, "Congress should follow Maryland's lead." The Project Exile bill, sponsored by Rep. Bill

one of the highest crime rates in the country, has seen gun-related crimes drop 65 percent and violent crimes fall 35 percent since the program began. It has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association and Republicans who say gun violence is best addressed by enforcing laws already on the books. not by passing new gun control laws.They have criticized the administration for not doing enough to prosecute gun crimes. Virginia has since passed a statewide Project Exile and is among six states, also including Texas, Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina and Colorado, that would now qualify for federal funds. The money can be used to defray costs associated with tougher enforcement. Democrats said the bill provides political cover for

DlU, East Timor (AP)- The nascent nation of East Timor wants to p~rtidpate in its first Olympics,but the IOC says the devastated terntory can't even meet the most basic conditions to enter the Sydney Games in September. "~11we want is to participate in the opening and dosing ceremonies, to fly the flag of the UN. Transitional Authority and our own flag and to play our national anthem," Jose Ramos-Horta, Nobel peace laureate and vice president of the Timorese National Council of Resistance,said Tuesday. The United Nations is administering the former Indonesian province during its transition to independence. Indonesian troops and their militia allies devastated much of the half-island territory last year after a U.N.-sponsoredindependence referendum. Most of its sports facilitieshave been burned down or turned into refugee camps. In the past. a few EastTimorese athletes represented other countries, including Australia and Indonesia, in boxing and gymnastics. Horta, East Timor·s unofficial foreign minister, said participation at Sydneywould be the first opportunity for his country to appear on the world stage. "We plan at the end of April to elect a national Olympic committee and apply to join the IOC,"Horta said. But IOC spokesman Franklin Servan-Schreibersaid East Timor does not currently fulfill the criteria to have its national Olympic committee recognized.

Tight budgets create dilemmas for students when it comes to spoiled food

ShouldI eat that? lARAGALE

Staff Writer A wave of mandatory spring deaning has prompted USU housing residents to look deep inside their refrigerators during the past few weeks. What are they finding? Mayonnaise "best used by Feb. 00," an uncovered container of crusted-over tuna fish and one slice of pizza, facedown, at the back of the shelf is just a sampling from one Snow Hall apartment. Students are always looking for ways to save money, and it's hard to shop economically for one person without overbuying, which can mean wasting a lot of food or eating dangerous leftovers. But with a little extra effort students can enjoy the foods they like without getting sick or being wasteful. All food products in a grocery store are freshness dated , said Kevin Hansen, store director of Albertson's in Logan. Every manufacturer has its own way of formulating a food's sell-by date, which is the day manufacturers stop guaranteeing their product's freshness. That doesn't mean food is inedible after that date, but depending on the food it means spoilage begins or vitamins and minerals are being lost he said. Stores can carry a product until its freshness date. Once a person takes food home from the grocery store, it is their responsibility to keep an eye on expiration dates, Hansen said. Albertson's policy is to not carry most foods even a single day past their freshness dates because, though unlikely, if it caused an illness the store would be

liable, Hansen said. "We don't want to take that chance on a 99 cent bag of potato chips or one pound of hamburger so we can get one more day out of it" he said. Perishable food can be eaten after the sell-by date, but "the safety rule is three to five days,"said Hansen. "After that point you go by smell and color, depending on how brave you are.· Hansen said lunch meats or cured meats like ham are safe to eat sometimes up to about a week after the sellby date if refrigerated at 45 degrees or

lower. Raw poultry and ground meats shouldn't be stored in the refrigerator longer than one or two days after the sell-by date, he said. If a person doesn't plan on eating raw meat right away, they should freeze it said Charlotte Brennand, extension specialist for food safety and preservation at USU.Transferring the meat to an airtight container like a sealable bag will keep the meat fresh far longer than leaving it in store packaging, which is intended to let oxygen in to keep the meat looking fresh and will allow freezer burn .

DMRSllY Continuedfrom Page1 ket, crime and gang-related activity. She said she has been able to find support in the community through individuals that have made a concerted effort to study about issues relating to diversity. "Lack of support has its roots in uninformed opinions," she said. "When folks take an active role, they can, and actually become, authentjc advocates for diversity. There's more to it than buying a taco on Cinco de Mayo." Erica Liu Wollin, a staff therapist at the USU Counseling Center, said her experience in Cache Valley has been generally good. ·1 think it is, in part, due to the fact that I'm educated , Westernized and safe," she said. Wollin said she thinks she would be perceived as more threatening if there was anything different about her . She related an experience she had at a local store where both she and a Hispanic man in line with her were brushed off by the cashier while a Caucasian man behind them was helped. Wollin is AsianAmerican . The Widstoe fence providesa forum for advertisingflyers fior various campusand community organizations.Thefence will soon be torn down, causingstudents to resortto otheradvertisingmethods.

WIDSTOE Continuedfrom Page1 a rise in attendance this year with over 1,000 students at each event as opposed to 100 or 200 last year. And while this is partly due to an overall heightened emphasis on advertising, the wall certainly played a large part, Adams said. Still, Adams said she isn't certain the benefits of adver tising in that area are worth making the campus look trashy. ·1 don 't think it's absolutely necessary." she said. "I think when it's gone people are just going to have to work harder to plan their advertising cam paigns. "It's been very convenient, but I don't think the convenience is adding to the campus," she said. As awful as they look, the multicolored flyers stapl ed all over the wall don't violate school regulations on posting advertisements, Darrell Hart, director of Physical Plant, said. Because it is temporary, the wall doesn't fall under the rule that fliers Q'ln't be posted on permanent structures, like lampposts, except in designat-

She said she thought about the ramifications of that experience and is still not sure exactly what happened. "Experiences like that leave me with the thought in the back of my mind, 'Did that have to do with my ethnicity?'" she said. The second question Johnson asked the panelists was how the faculty, staff and students at USU are advantaged by having colleagues and peers that are culturally diverse . ·we are enriched because we question our own values and cultural identification," Huerta said. Antonio Arce, a graduate student in sociology, said it is important for individuals to find out for themselves about people. "We must communicate and seek to understand," he said . Arce said there are people walking around campus from different cultures and backgrounds . "Why do we not want to learn about them?" he asked. Arce said things ar en't always right in books and it is important for individuals to gain their own experiences by dealing with actual people. "(Diversity) helps us all to

examine our world views," Wollin said. She said diversity helps to fill in gaps in an individual's upbringing or experience and learn to think in a more multi -faceted way. "Most of all," Wollin said, "it helps us to understand how we make sense of the world." She said individuals make sense of the world based on what they are exposed to. "Without a personal connection. you won't understand as deeply," she said. The audience then took an opportunity to pose questions to panel members. Many asked the members to address the future for ethnically diverse youth . Students from elementary, junior high and high schools in Cache Valley were present at the forum Johnson encouraged these youth to stand on the shoulders of those who have come before them. "Your differences make you unique, beautiful and awesome," she said, ·not less important." Following the audience discussion, Emert distributed the 7th Annual President's Diversity Awards to this year's recipients .

NewssR1eFs > Gogue NMSU presidential finalist Utah State University 's provost has been named as one of five finalists for the position of president of New Mexico State University. Nominated in January, Jay Gogue has participated in a rigorous application process that narrowed the list of over 40 candidates down to five. Next he will travel to New Mexico for two days to meet with student leaders, department heads, staff and alumni of the university and community leaders. While being a finalist is an important step, Gogue said he knows many factors will come into play for the final decision . "The chemistry has to be right for you and for them," Gogue said. "If it's not there, it may be somewhere else." Gogue said he would enjoy taking a position as president of a university, but he also enjoys his position as provost and will be happy in either position in the future. "Certainly you're excited to be a finalist for something like this," he said. "And you'll learn a lot in the process, meet a lot of nice people and learn a lot about higher education, and hopefully do better in the job that you're in." The final decision will be announced in late May, according to the NMSU Web page .

ed areas. "It doesn't look good," he said, "but I don't think there's anybody with enough energy left after what we do all day to go around taking them down.' The only designated site for posting handbills outdoors on campus is the gazebo near the Merrill Library, he said. Every year Physical Plant clears out the old, posted papers and repaints the sur face to keep it attractive. However, students tend to use any available surface to advertise. One of the worst problems is that students don't take the papers down, he said . There are still handbills on the wall dated for February. "It's not very attractive," he said, "but I'm not going to spend the few dollars we have to clean up after them (students who post fliers). If students don't like it, th ey should go clean it up ." Students who want to preserve the campus· appearance can advertise in designated areas inside buildings, on the gazebo near Merrill Library or on "A"frames and can take responsibility for cleaning up once th e event is over, Hart said.

She said properly wrapped meat in a good freezer can last up to two months; even after that, deciding whether to eat it isn't an issue of safety but flavor. Dairy products have similar guidelines. Kelly Lemon, dairy manager at Smith's in Logan, said milk should last five to seven days after the sell-by date if it is kept constantly refrigerated . Leaving milk out for even an hour can reduce its longevity a day or so.

Weddings are a time of new beginnings. so natura lly, superstitions predict ing good or bad luck for the new couple abo und. Many Web sites that cater to brides and grooms include a list of wedding superstitions. Some of the most often repeated ,superstitions are that it is lucky to be married on a Wednesday or to be married as the minute hand moves up (i.e. getting married at 2:45 is lucky while marrying at 3:15 is not). Sites often mention that it is unlucky to get married in February or on a Friday. Many said a rainy wedding day is an ome n of a tear-filled marriage. The groom seeing the bride in her dress before the wedding is also considered unlucky. The Web site www.blissezine.com asked its visitors to submit their favorite wedding superstitions. One superstitious bride wrote. "If your dress is ripped on the day before your wedding, it means that your marriage will end in dea th!" Another visitor submitted a Jewish superstition that it is bad luck to receive knives as a wedding

gift. "In case someone should give knives." the visitor wrote, "the bride should transform the exchange into a financial transaction by giving a penny or nominal sum for the knives." On the brighter side, visitors wrote that it was good luck for the bride to step into the church with her right foot and to be kissed by a chimney sweep on her wedding day. A British wedding guide found at www.weddingguide.co.uk says that many wedding traditions are rooted in superstition According to the site, the tradition of having flowers at a wedding dates from ancient times when people believed strong smelling herbs would ward off evil spirits. The tradition of having bridesmaids and groomsmen also began as a way to avoid evil spirits The site said an ancient Roman law required 10 witnesses be present at a wedding to fool the evil spirits wishing to cause mischief The witnesses dressed exactly like the bride and groom so the evil spirits wouldn't know who was getting married. The site also says a groom carries his bride over the threshold

because it would be unlucky for the bride to stumb le as she entered the couple's home for the first time. The groom carries her to eliminate the possibility of her stumbling. JoAnn Nyman, manager of the Aspen Grove Reception Center in Logan. has helped many brides prepare for their weddings, but she said she hasn't encountered much superst ition Nyman said brides often mention the superstition of the groom not seeing the bride before the wedding. but most do so jokingly. She said they don't really believe it is bad luck. they must want to surprise their fiance at the ceremony. Once in a while. Nyman said, she sees a bride putting a penny in her shoe for good luck. She said brides sometimes mention wearing ·something old, something new. something borrowed and something blue." but few actually believe that doing so will bring them good luck. She said she has only seen about a half-dozen girls actually try to meet all the requirements of the superstition. Nyman said most brides seem to be more concerned about the color of their nail polish than about any superstitions.

Does the fact that you·re a true Aggie bring you good luck? If you're superstitious it does. The reasons for becomi ng a true Aggie along with other superstitions have changed throughout the years. In the days when USU was an agricultural college, many traditions and superstitions began according to the Fife Folklore Archives in the Merrill Library. Becoming a true Aggie was thought to bring good luck to students throughout their schooling. This was because they were lucky enough to win a kiss from a young lady/ man. Times have changed, and with the times, so have the superstitions. Being a tr ue Aggie is no longer a lucky superstitious act. What other superstitions are unique to Logan? Have you heard of the Weeping Widow or the Hank Gibson story? There are several versions of the Weeping Widow story: but they all tell of a mother who is distraught over the premature deaths of her children and husband. A statue repre senting the widow is located in the Logan Cemetery . According to Pat Anderson. a native of Logan, legend

says the widow can be seen weeping for her family on nights of a full moon. Her tears are supposed to bring her comfort. According to Lisa Cox. as recorded in the Fife Folklore Archives. if you disturb the woman during her mourning. she will haunt you. Richard Robbins. a former USU student, told the story of Hank Gibson. He was a bank robber in Preston, Idaho. who took refuge in an area called Gibson Lake (near Bear Lake). The sheriff caught Hank running off, so he shot him. The gunshot hit him in the leg and it turned to gangrene. Hank's leg had to be amputated. Hank was imprisoned and sentenced to be hung. Before dying. he was granted one last request: he wanted to be buried in a white shirt and with his amputated leg. No one wanted to dig up the rotten leg. so Hank was only buried in the white shirt. He has been seen riding around at night searching for his lost leg, Robbins said. Many people say that if Gibson had been buried with his leg. he would not haunt the area of Gibson Lake and the Bear Lake area would have peace . Before dismissing superstitions as naught, stop and asked yourself does it still carry any meaning?

What may seem strange to some becomes a way of life a source of luck and the determining factor in a given event to many athletes. Many Utah State University athletes create their own superstitions on and off the field. Whether they work or not is determined by those who practice them. Many doggedly continue their bazaar rituals out of fear they may otherwise lose. Trina Ewart. a gymnast at USU who competes on the bars and floor wears the same hair bands for every meet. Ewart said, Tm not really sure if it actually works. but it does cause me a lot of grief if I

Blake Eagal, a linebacker on the football team, said, ·our team jumps up and down and chants before taking the field for every game,. Some of the players started it three seasons ago when we had a long wait before we could take the field. "It worked really well the first time (we beat Nevada for the league title and to earn a trip to the Humanitarian owl), but it had mixed results the other times," Eagal said.

Ok, h a v e always wondered what the big deal

I personally do not have anything that is lucky, but I do have a ritual that I follow every night. I have to put my makeup on in a certain order, or I just don't feel like I am going to make it through the show. I have been told of others who have superstitions too. I was told of one young man from another university that would always dress in traditional japanese attire and sit in the middle of the performance space and bow in every direction before he could do the show. (And you all thought chanting was strange.) I know others who also have to eat certain things. But then again, others avoid anything that could be possibly harmful (such as milk and chocolate .

worked quickly once on the scene, more than 2>hours elapsed between the time a demining team was notified and the time it reached the victims. By then, all three children were dead . "It didn't take us more than half an hour to demine a small path to get to the children," said Zoran Gagula , one of the deminers: "We skipped standard procedures, risked our lives, and still, by the time we got to the children, they were dead." Standard demining procedures are slow, with experts sometimes taking as much as an hour per square yard to minimize risk, prodding each inch of terrain for explosive devices. NATO experts arrived after a team from Norwegian People's Aid and therefore let that squad do the demining, said a NATO spokesman, Maj. Paul Hubbard. "They really did it as quickly as they could," said Hubbard . Andja Elek, 60, said she saw the children walking earlier and warned them not to play there because of the mines, "but they obviously didn't listen to me." 'The girl was ab le to lift her head a few times and call for help," she said.

Welcome to homerland, a.k.a. the NL Central Division flNALINE / WadeDenniston

How many home runs will the National League Central Division hit this season? After all, the division has "The Big Three" in the likes of Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire and Ken Griffey, Jr. The Chicago Cubs' Sosa officially started the home run race amongst the trio last Friday, when he belted a two-run first inning blast off the Cincinnati Reds' Pete Harnisch. But the slugger from the Dominican Republic would soon have company on Saturday. St. Louis' Mark McGwire hit his first round-tripper of the year when he went to the opposite field in the sixth inning off Milwaukee's Jim Bruske. It was The Kid's turn on Sunday. Junior got his long-awaited first dinger as a Red in the sixth inning when he belted a 2-0 fastball off Cubs right-hander Scott Downs, sending it into the second deck in right field of Cinergy Field . All three players have gone on to hit at least one more round-tripper since hitting their first, and Griffey became the youngest player to hit

new Pacific Bell Park. A couple of other names to be reckoned with in the Central are Brian Giles and Jason Kendall of Pittsburgh, as well as Jeff Bagwell of Houston. Kendall is off to a slow start (no homers with a .200 batting average), but it is good to see the right-handed catcher back after dislocating his right ankle last season trying to beat out a bunt. Teammate Brian Giles has gone deep three times for Pittsburgh this season and will provide a muchneeded spark for the basement dwelling Pirates. Bagwell is off to a slow start for the Astros as he is hitting just .250 in seven games (6-for-24), and has yet to go deep. But, that shouldn't be a problem for the right-handed slugging first baseman as Houston's new play ground, Enron Field, will prove to be nomer-friendly. On Monday night, in Enron's fourth game, St. Louis and Houston combined for a record eight home runs (one coming off the bat of McGwire, his third straight in three games), besting the old mark in Houston by two. With the four homers, the Cardinals lead the big leagues with 20 in the season.

Wondering who to watch in the American League? Certainly Ivan Rodriguez of Texas is noteworthy. Pudge has gone deep three times for the Rangers, but last year's AL Most Valuable Player is known more for his batting average and defense. You can never count out Jose Canseco. The Tampa Bay designated hitter was having a spectacular season last year before midseason back surgery slowed the slugger down . Still, he finished with 34 homers, hitting the 400th of his career early in the season, and became the first player in history to hit 30-plus dingers for four different teams. In seven games in 2000, Canseco has yet to go deep for the Devil Rays. Charles Johnson (Baltimore), Mike Sweeney (Kansas City) and Tony Batista (Toronto) are all currently leading the AL race with four, but without Griffey in Seattle, this year's home run king will more than likely come from the NL. So, whoever you pick for this year's home run title, one thing is for sure, the race will be another exciting one. But not for the pitchers.

Lindros' Flyercareermelting awaybec~use of feuds; ; injuri~~ ~-UL!

PHILADELPHIA(AP)- Eric Lindros' career with the Philadelphia Flyers probably will end with him as a distraction rather than a champion. And now, amid all the injuries and clashes with management. it appears these might be Lindros' final days with the Flyers. He rejoined the Flyers on Tuesday for the first time ' since his feud with general manager Bob Clarke tore a hole in his relationship with the team. Still unable to practice because of a concussion, Lindros rode the exercise bike while his teammates prepared for Thursday's first-round playoff game with Buffalo. He will not play in the opening series. "I don't think there needs to be any more said," said Lindros. speaking softly and seeming more like an outsider than the franchise player who was the team's focal point for eight years. Tm just focusing on getting back and getting in shape." Lindros said he spoke by phone with almost all of the team last week and also talked briefly with team chairman Ed Snider.

FOOD ContinuedfromPage3 USDAregulations say eggs can be stored up to 30 days below 45 degrees Fahrenheit from the time of production to the time they make it to the store, though with modem practices eggs generallyhit stores within seven days. Eg'gswill usually be safe to eat up to three weeksafter the purchase date, but they begin losing nutritional value and may turn runny. Eggscan last in a freezer for severalweeks if broken from their shells and stored in an air-tight container, but once thawed should be used immediately. Fruits and vegetablesare rotated every other day at most grocery stores, but it's still a good idea to watch for freshness,said Hansen. Most fruits, excluding apples and most citrus fruits, will continue to ripen if left out at room temperature, so semi-ripe fruit can be bought in larger quantities and not spoil, he said. Fruit should be watched for mold, brown spots and squishinessto indicate

Hundreds of Latter-day Saints children also get out of their public schools . every day to receive religious instruction at seminaries just off campus, as they do elsewhere in the Phoenix area. And students and teachers alike wear rings identifying themselves as Latterday Saints, with the inscription "CTR,"for "Choose the Right." Such messagesmay be subtle, but the leader of the East ValleyNAACPsays that they help create a di-

Just cutting spoiled spots off the fruit may not be enough, according to the FDAWeb site (www.FDA.gov), because a small patch of mold may indicate a lot of poison in the fruit. Non-perishablefoods, like cereal and canned goods,are generallynot a safety concern.The most important thing is storing them in air-tight containers, said Katina Mayes,consumer specialistfor Kellogg's.She said she transfers her cereal to an airtight container to keep it fresh, but folding the bag or using a chip clip will have the same effect.

B y the time you read this, I will h a v e passed t h e Student Bo d y Presidency on to my successor. As my last official act of office, I would like to ask the students of this university to vote today and tomorrow on the proposed student rec center. I am not asking you to vote for or against the proposal, but rather just to be active. Study the issue and vote. Recreational facilities at Utah State receive more complaints than any other aspect of student life.

real option are asking you to decide. Make the effort to voice your vote. The homework has been done, the questions are answered and the information can be accessed at www.usu.edu/src. The facility will be a wondertul asset if passed; however, since we will pay for it, we need to decide if we want it. I personally am in support of the rec center. When I saw how much the facilities added to the campuses we visited, I felt that USU students deserved comparable facilities. At Colorado State I talked to students in restaurantsand grocery stores, and without exception they felt the facilities were worth the fee. However, all aside, I respect the opinions of any who aren't in favor. I want to thank all of the students who have spent countless hours working to bring this proposal to the student body. Your effort has been heroic and your accomplishment noble. Indeed, if USU is to have a rec center, it will be in the truest sense of the word a STUDENT rec center. If we want to improve the recreational facilities at USU, now is the time and this is the way. If that's not a priority, lets hold off. Either way, I ask you to please vote online on the USU main page today and tomorrow. Thank you for your support throughout this year. It has been an honor to represent such a student body.

We all complain about them constantly. Who are they? And the answer is not 16-year old girls or 98-year old men. The answer is everyone. At least sometimes. Okay, the answer is me. I am the bad driver you're always yelling at. And I have a request.

Don't call me an idiot or a moron or ask where I learned to drive. I have heard it before. Please, if you must vent your frustration, and I know I make it necessary at times, be creative. If you must tailgate me all the way home, at least bring a bag of Jawbreakers and say "This is what will happen to you if you don't watch yourself." If you must make obscene gestures, invent new ones, like sticking your finger up your nose as if to say "Stop picking your nose and drive your car."

KORNER/KadeMinchey Some of my recent columns

h a v e pricked a political snare in some of you - the readers. This actually makes me very excited, for political thought, regardless of the view, is a fundamental premise upon which this country was founded. All of the comments I have received have been taken very seriously by me. For I believe that one cannot be truly right unless s/he is thought to be truly wrong by someone else. Most of these comments have centered on my seeming hatred for the Democratic Party. As well some of the comments which meant to be

targeted against me have in actuality been in agreement with me. Through all of this, however, one person's comments stuck out and caught my attention - largely for the logical claims. Jordan Nigh wrote, in part, the following to me. "In light of your comments I would like you to understand my 'ignorance.' In Utah our legislature and governor are predominantly Republican. They have set forth laws and economic policies for the past 50 years which reflect a Republican standpoint. What my comment is then, why is it in Utah we pay higher taxes than almost all of the states in the union - (we are about 18th)? "Each year Kade, the legislature comes out of the hol-

Bushappointee 'regrets'comments aboutHispanics AUSTIN,Texas (AP)- Texas Health Commissioner William "Reyn"Archer apologized Tuesday for comments he made in newspaper interviews about Hispanicsand teen pregnancy. "I deeply regret that I have created an erroneous impression about Hispanics and teen pregnancy.I apologize for any harm that it may have caused," Archer said in a statement. Archer's apology referred to

remarks he made to The New YorkTimes and the Austin American-Statesman in articles published Tuesday. In the Times story, Archer said Texas·high teen pregnancy rate came about because the state's Hispanicpopulation lacked the belief "that getting pregnant is a bad thing.· "If I were to go to a Hispanic community and say, ·well, we need to get you into family planning.' they say. 'No. I want to be pregnant,' it does-

n't work very well,"he told the Times. He told the Austin newspaper, "I think the Hispanic community generally thinks that pregnancy is a positive thing. Societyvalues pregnancies in teen-agers as bad, but certain communities within society may feel differently." Archer's comments brought an outcry from the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. "Atthe same time minori-

Newspapers are out of touchwithreaders WASHINGTON(AP)Newspaperstoo often fail to connect readers with reality, the president of the AmericanSocietyof NewspaperEditorssaid Tuesday,straining the credibilitythat may be the industry's best asset against online competition. Papers tend to hear frustration and anger when they ask readers how their communities are portrayed,said

N. Christian Anderson III, publisher of The Orange County Registerin California. "Their mirror shows a different picture, and it says we have not connected,"he told ASNE'sannual conference.in a point geared especiallyto minority communitiesbut meant for all. "I think we spend too much capital on coverage that shows people livingat the extremes of community

"Still,over the long haul we must think and act differently," he said. "Weneed to learn more about how our readers and would-be readers live their lives:·

School teacher stalksthen shootsherself TUCSON, Ari.Z.(AP) - A school teacher who reported being shot in her empty classroom confessed to authorities that she shot herself. Teacher Kathy Morris had also sent herself threatening letters, Pima County sheriffs spokeswoman Deanna Coultas said Tuesday. Morris told authorities she did it to highlight the lack of security at the school. ..However.we're dealing with irrational thinking and irrational behavior," Coultas said. She said authorities were looking into other motives and past incidents with the . school but declined to elabo~ rate, citing confidentiality issues. Morris has taught at the school since 1991. Morris reported Monday that she had been shot in the shoulder in her classroom by a youngHispanic man after excusing herself froma staff meeting.The shootingoccurred about 90 minutes before students were scheduled to begin class. Morris~ w~Jn fair condition Tuesday at University Medical Center. Monls has declined all requests for interviews, according to hospital spokeswoman Vicki Gaubeca. "Ms, Morris' allegation was destructive. damaging, and insulting to our students and members of the district's minority community," district Superintendent Robert J.Smith said Tuesday. Smith said Morris had been placed on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. Coultas said investigators found a gun that had been fired once in a false bottom of Morris' purse.
