A-day through the years:An evolving tradition USU tradition began as spring clean-up, service project, became 'Ayathon' and is now a week-Jong celebration JESSICAWARREN

Staff Writer

Imagine an A-day where books are traded in for rakes and shovels. Listening to bands and buying Navajo fry bread on the Quad would be swapped for a lunch served by the sororities and relay races at the stadium. • Su RllATID STORIES,Page4

That's how A-day originated . The first record found by Patty Halaufia, at the Student Alumni Association. was in the 1917 Buzzer, the USU yearbook up until 1971 when the university became too big to include everybody. A-day was a day of spring clean-up. Classes were cancelled and students and faculty members would arm themselves with rakes and shovels for a campus makeover. A picture in the 1947 Buzzer shows people laying the sidewalk on the north end of the Quad. It also shows women waving cleaning cloths at the camera as they wash the windows of the Fieldhouse. The day didn't just center on cleaning, but involved building projects such as pouring concrete for new sidewalks. The projects went on all day, with a lunch served by the Spurs. a group for women. At the end of the day. activities were held such as relay races. Fraternities competed against each other, as did the sororities with the help of members of the track team. There was often a dance. such a the sport dance at the Armory in 1947. Halaufia said she remembers looking at the 1945 yearbook where A-day service was oriented toward the war.

Projects were often held in Brigham City and included making bandages for the wounded soldiers. In the 1950s, A-day evolved into Agathon. This was a student day with a lot more activities and a party-type atmosphere rather than a spring cleaning focus. Into the '60s and 70s, A-day, or Agathon was gone, Halaufia said. "A lot of traditions were put on the wayside in the '60s and 70s," Halaufia said. A-day was brought back again in the '80s by the Student Alumni Association, who is still in charge of it. A-day is now four days of service and one day of activities. This year's service includes a Deseret Industries drive with a drop-off in front of the Fieldhouse and a fundraiser for a needy family in the community.

The Aggie 'A' is unveiled in 1917 in front of a small gnthmng of sl!ldents and faculty. Since its unveiling

"The 'A' ... where a kiss is more than just a kiss ... here it is a rite of passage: These words engraved on the plaque near Utah State University's concrete "A"explain some of the meaning behind the True Aggie tradition. On a full-moon night. one may stand on top of the "A" and kiss someone who is a True Aggie in order to attain the same status. On A-Day and Homecoming nights, couples may kiss and become True Aggies without either one being True. said Patty Halaufia, the director of major events for Alumni Relations.

it wasn't a big deal until SAA began promoting it. Halaufia said. Now most everyone on campus knows what it means to be a True Aggie. Over the years the 'A' has been moved around a lot. It has been by the Widtsoe building, Merrill Library, Old Main Hill, and now it is between Old Main and the Quad, Halaufia said . When SAA first started maintaining the "A," which is painted once a year, Halaufia said, it was stripped down, and they found orange, red and purple paint, probably from rival schools painting the USU school symbol.

WASHINGTON {AP)- District of Columbia officials are heartened that bands of protesters were prevented from sabotaging world finance meetings but a debate about police tactics erupted in the wake of nasty street confrontations that led to more than 1,300 arrests.

The measure would enable gay couples to form "civil unions" that would entitle them to all 300 or so rights and benefits available under state law to married couples.

University to analyze day care through survey JESSICAWARREN

Staff Writer

Parents who use or are in need of child care are being asked by Utah State University's Child Care Resource and Referral to fill out a survey that will be used to assess the needs and types of child care provided at USU. The survey can be accessed at www.usuchild.usu.edu. The survey is available through April 30. "Since that first weekend in April. its gone to a trickle." said Connie Shultz, co-director for Child Care Resource and Referral. She said she is hoping people will take the time to express their opinion so they can get some decent data. The data will be used for future planning for child care. Shultz said. The needs vary heavily from family to family, she said. One example, Shultz said, is a family in Hyrum with three children ages 6, 3 and 1. The parents work swing shifts and look at several factors when choosing a child care facility. The facility must have three openings, one must accommodate an infant because the 1-year-old still falls into the infant category, and it needs to be available for the 6-year-old to get to after school. The facility must also be open to accommodate the swing shift schedule. Cost is also a factor that must be considered. she said. ·cost is a huge problem," Shultz said. On average. a parent will spend $400 per child per month, Shultz said. Child Care Resource and Referral works as a sort of search engine for parents.

The campaign will target six highpriority areas: the Great Salt Lake. the Provo River and Utah Lake area. Utah High Plateaus, the Colorado River Corridor. the Dugout-Canyonlands area and the Virgin River Basin. Special emphasis was placed on the Great Salt Lake. Nearly S17 million in

public and private funds will go to protect wetlands. upland and salinity resources for the lake. "If we are to protect this ecological treasure, we're going to have to bring all the communities around the lake together," said John Milliken. co-chairman of the conservancy's Utah chapter board. The Nature Conservancy also announced an $8 million commitment from the George S. and Delores Dor Eccles foundation. The commitment is the largest private donation

to conservation in Utah history and one of the largest the Nature Conservancy has received nationally. The group initially plans to create a "conservation blueprint" to inventory Utah's ecoregions. Next, it will try to preserve intact landscapes of at least 50,000 acres. "The idea is to bring people back to the land and back to natural surroundings," said Dave Livermore. state director of the Nature Conservancy of Utah.

Soldier who died saving woman, child will be honored HILL AIR FORCE BASE.Utah (AP)An Army private from Utah who saved the lives of a woman and infant before he drowned will be posthumously hon ored. PFC Benjamin Donaldson was on his way home from Fort Gordon in Georgia in December when the driver of the car in which he was traveling fell asleep, plunging the vehicle into the Arkansas River.

Eyewitness accounts indica te Donaldson helped the driver's wife and infant son from the car before it was swept away by the currents and submerged with Donaldson inside. The 20-year-old graduate of Clearfield High School was headed home to Ogden for his Dec. 22 wedding and Christmas with his family. "It's important to know his death had meaning, that others lived because Ben

did not," said Marge Donaldson, his mother. On Wednesday. the Army will posthumously present Donaldson's family with the Soldier's Medal during a ceremony at Hill's Air Museum Chapel. Established by Congress in 1926, the medal is awarded to any member of the U.S. Armed Forces who distinguishes himself in service by heroism not involving actual enemy conflict.

KIRTLAND,Ohio (AP) - As the first members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints journeyed across America in the 19th century, looking for a place to settle, this city just east of Cleveland was an important stop. Now the church plans to expand, restore and renovate its historical sites in Kirtland. The aim is to explain Mormonism's early days to outsiders and give church members a chance to see what !ife was like for their ancestors. The project, scheduled for completion in 2003, is being welcomed by local officials who expect it to draw more tourists. An existing visitors center brought in 35,CXXl people last year. "Kirtland was and is part of our church history," said Karl Anderson, a project coordinator and state patriarch of Latter-day Saint church. ·we were headquartered here longer than anywhere other than Salt Lake City.

A celebration 1n service N ATALIELARSON

Staff Writer

For most Utah State University students, A-day and partying go hand-inhand, but that wasn't the original intent of this Aggie tradition . According to Heather Webster, a A-day committee member, A-day started out focusing on service, and the A-day committee's goal for this year is to return it to that focus. On Monday , over 100 people showed up to help cleanup Willow Park . "Logan City suggested this project: said A-day head chairman Doug Horton. Also this week, there is a Deseret Industries (D.l.) drive where students can donate used clothes and other arti -

des that will be given to the D.l. for distribution to those in need. The clothes can be dropped off in a trailer outside the Taggart Student Center next to the Fieldhouse . According to a press release, the main focus of the service efforts will be directed towards earning money to give to Shari Hawkes, a local woman who is being treated for a rare form of cancer. Hawkes is the mother of six children who used to teach piano lessons, but now may have to h ave her right hand amputated. She was diagnosed with cancer in February She was pregnant at the time. which made her unable to receive treatment because of the risk to her unborn child, according to the release .

Ty Hawkes was born prematurely. and his medical bills have added to the family's concerns. Hawkes can now undergo treatment for her cancer, but the family is struggling to fill the bill. To help her. the A-day committee has organized a raffle. They will be selling Ping-Pong balls in the TSC for $ l to students. The prizes for this include a treadmill donated by ICON, a Dutch oven and gift certificates to Tony Romas, accord ing to the release . The committee will be dorm storming for donations tonight and proceeds from Friday 's dance will also be donated. According to the release, collect ion cans have been

placed in the Hub and in the Alumni House. Anyone who is interested in donating is encouraged to take his/ her money to the Alumni House, or it can be given to those who are manning the Ping-Pong booth in the TSC. On Monday, dorm storming raised $300. Melissa Swenson, who is on the A-day committee said, "It's been neat to see all the help so far. We want to thank all the students who have donated." "So far the students have been very generous," Webster

said. This is the fourth year the Ping-Pong raffle has been held. According to Horton, last year between $1,200 and $1,300 was raised and given to a needy family. Organizers hope to give $2000 to Hawkes. "It would be a big. big help for them," Horton said. The committee has future plans to create an endowment fund for USU alumni who are in need of medical assistance . "It's a vision we have," Horton said . "We're all trying to take it on."

Last year a group of Cache Valleybicyclists rode 12,880 collective miles. Their season was so successful that they plan on increasing that mileage this year. This group of cyclistsforms the Cache Valley Veloistsbicycle touring club. According to the club's brochure, the CVV is "committed to fun, moderately -paced recreational bicycle touring." The cw·s founder, Hal Cain, said the club is designed for cyclistsof all ages and abilities, offering everything from physically demanding rides to slow, easy, flat ones. The club plans rides from April to October. Some are week night rides of less than five miles. and others are weekend tours of SO miles and more. Cain, who is a professor at Utah State University,said the group does not focus on competition or even on getting fit. "If we get exercise,"he said, "it's accidental." The CW is about being a tourist on a bike, Cain said. He said the CW "promotes cycling as a means of transportation for travel and leisure." The club's tours , Cain said, are designed for people to get out and enjoy the beauty of their surroundings . The Cache Valley Veloists 2CXX) Tour Schedule lists 31 weekend tours, 14 short Monday evening rides, and 15 more advanced Wednesday evening rides. The weekend tours include such trips as a 10-mile mountain bike ride up Green Canyon, a SO-mile tour around Bear Lake, an 80-mile ride to Riverdale Hot Springs in Idaho, and a 25-mile tour of Cache

The Golden Mean CoMMENlS ON LIFE/ EmilyProctor By the time most of us are graduate students, or have dallied so long in school that we've graduated or quit, we might see that balance is the only road to survival. It's easier to work when your mind has been cleared after two hours of play and likewise easier to play after you've been working for 20 hours. . But moderation is a hard thing to learn, and it's easy to get stuck in the rut of excess. I had one roommate that overstudied for two months. By the time Thanksgiving rolled around she was a dragging pair of droopy eyelids, and she was no fun to be around. I had another that over-played basketball, soccer, volleyball and the sitting-around game. It was hard to study around her. Another over-starved. I felt guilty eating my humble macaroni and cheese when she was in the room. Glancing in her bare cupboard from timeto-time I saw 100 percent real peanut butter she couldn't force herself to eat and some stale, no-name, no-flavor crackers. We both appreciated our other roommate who occasionally over-fed us because she often baked some overly-good cinnamon rolls. (But woman cannot live on cinnamon rolls alone.) Excess is an old theme among youth. I'm reminded of the myth of Icarus. He and his father, Daedalus, were kept prisoner in a complex maze by old King Minos . To escape, Daedalus built wings of wax and feathers, and they planned to fly to freedom. • While they were escaping, Icarus flew too high and died because the sun melted his waxy wings. Of course his father had warned him not to fly too high nor too low for this reason. Had he flown low, the ocean mist would have soaked the feathers, rerJQffing them flightless. Had he flown somewhere in the middle he would have survived. Icarus is not so different from the average college student. He focused more on the journeythe flight - than he did on the destination: freedom. What student hasn't stayed up until 2 a.m. to hang out with friends even though he has an unfinished paper due at 9:30 the next morning? Few students think of their destination, which is graduation, before they think of the journey, which would be those fun activities that get us through this college existence. Maybe graduation seemstoo far away. The implication of excess is that it can ruin us, just like it did to Icarus. If we party too much along the way, we can get kicked out of school. Hopefully, the joys of the journey don't supersede the final destination. Now, if Icarus had had more foresight, he would've followed the 11Golden Mean," which is the Greek principle of moderation. We can still see evidences of this principal in such sayings as, "moderation in all things," and 11 Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." While being wealthy and wise is appealing, these lessons are hard for a college student to learn. What kind of a social life can you keep with a

bedtime at 10 p.m.? It would be easy to play your way out of an education, or work your way out of a life. But somewhere in the middle is a golden thread between discipline and indulgence that keeps us balanced. It's probably a thin , thread, though, and you've got to cover a lot of ground and swing a big stick to find it. Daedalus followed the Golden Mean, and it kept him alive. I always wonder how he felt as he watched and yelled after Icarus as he flew up and down. What could the father do? He had to keep flying right in the middle. Had he folfowed his son he would have been killed too. And after Icarus fell, Daedalus had to keep flyin g or he would've fallen into the ocean himself. I suppose those are the pains of parenthood. Like Daedalus, parents have to give their kids freedom and just hope that the kids wi/J follow their advice. Daedalus had to fly himself. There was no way he could've carried Icarus. So I think that the Golden Mean is the way to go. Don't stay up too late. Don't wake up too early. Eat so you're not hungry and not overly full. Study every day. Play a little every day. And drink 1 percent milk.

Reform Partypresssecretary resigning WASHINGTON(AP)- The Reform Party's press secretary resigned Tuesday, officials said, in a sign of a widening rift between presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan and allies of party founder Ross Perot. "I think she resigned because she feels that the Buchanan campaign is attempting to take over the party and is preventing her from being able to do her job," said party secretary Jim Mangia, who as a member of the board was informed of Donna Donovan's resignation during the day. Mangia and other senior party officials told The Associated Press that Donovan's resignation was emblematic of deepening problems between Buchanan, who joined the Reform Party last year, and longtime officials just as the party was recovering from other factional fighting. "I hope we can still sit down and work thiAgsout with the Buchanan campaign,"Mangia said. "This is an example of a deteriorating situation that we have to start to try to remedy soon or it will be too late." Donovan declined to comment, but officialssaid her resignation was to take effect on Friday.The Buchanan campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Followinga party meeting in Nashville,Tenn., that turned into a televised wrestling match between factions, a federal judge in Virginia last month settled some of the party's infighting by ousting Jack Gargan from the chairmanship and replacing him with Pat Choate, who was Perot's running mate in 1996. Choate is also a Buchanan fan. They are allies on trade and other foreign policieswho have known each other for years. Earlier this year, Choate appeared at Buchanan's side during a press conference in which the two urged the Clinton administration and Congress to reject normal

Buchananlaunchesballot bid in bachyard of Bush, Perot DALLAS{AP)- Pat Buchanan is launching a bid to qualify for the presidential ba11otin Texas, home of presumptive Republican nominee Gov. George W. Bush and former candidate Ross Perot. Buchanan planned a rally Tuesday night in the Dallas suburb of Irving and another Wednesday in Houston. Buchanan, a former Republican candidate, is seeking the Reform Party nomination and is trying to gather 56,000 signatures by May 8 to earn a spot as an independent on the Texas ballot The Reform Party is conducting its own petition drive to win ballot status in Texas. Buchanan said this weekthat Texas is the toughest state for independent or third-party candidates to get on the ballot. Only the signatures of registered voters who did not vote in a party primary or sign another access petition count toward a candidate's bid to get on the ballot. The former television talk-show host and speechwriter for President Nixon said Bush. the Texas governor, is nearly indistinguishable from his Democratic rival, Vice President Al Gore. Buchanan criticized Bush's meeting last week with gay activists and has accused him of wavering on abortion, Buchanan also has criticized Gore's support for abortion rights. . Buchanan staunchly opposes abortion but ists shun social issues. Texas also is home for Perot, the billionaire and Reform Party founder who ran for president in 1992 and 1996. Perot has not said whether he willrun again this year. trade status for China. In a move that may have permanently inflamed Perot's allies on the ruling committee, Choate also sided with Buchanan on the location of the party's presidential nominating convention. Perot's supporters had fought Gargan's backers to hold it in Long Beach, Calif. But citing a competing religious convention and a lack of hotel space there, Buchanan and Choate pushed for Nashville instead. Perot's allies overruled that proposal. Almost immediately, Buchanan reached out to the group and invited them to his house for a peacemaking session, but a time and place have yet to be established. Several Reform Party leaders said that peace may be far away. Donovan felt that Buchanan was usurping her job of talking with reporters and setting up press events.

She also was one of several leaders who have become uncomfortable with Buchanan's cross-country drive to get on the ballot in dozens of states and control the delegates admitted to the convention who will pick the nominee, officials said. "I think the credentialling committee is being stacked with Buchanan supporters and not reflective of the broad cross section of Reform Party activists,"Mangia said Also simmering is disenchantment with Buchanan's social positions. His staunch anti-abortion stance, for example, dashes with the party's platform, which says government should stay out of such private matters. His remarks about homosexuals and Nazis also chafe some Reform Party members. Buchanan was in Texas Tuesday kicking off a threeweek drive to get on the ballot there .

Schools nationwide markshooting anniversary andbraceforimpact WASI:ING!ON {AP)- As Thursday 's anniversary of the Columbme High School massacre neared, education officials nationwide took steps to prevent their schools from suffering the same fate. !hey suspended students caught making threats. hired more officers and volunteers for the day, canceled classes or major school events and held meetings with parents and community members . "The date has them worried about a lot of copycats or kids who may try to send a very. very strong message," said Curt l.avarello, executive director of the National Association of School Resource Officers, a group of K-12 school officers that has nearly doubled to 5,500 members in the last year. "Let's face it, it's been absolutely clear in the tragedies we see on school campuses that _these incidents can occur at any time, at any school." On April 20, 1999, two students at Columbine High in Littleton, Colo., fatally shot 12 students and a teacher before killing themselves. On Thursday, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens will lead thousands in a moment of silence at 11:21a.m ., the time the attack began. But th_eschool itself is on alert, with 24-hour police patrols and special badges for anyone wanting to get in. "Schools are under pressure to be prepared, " said June Arnett. associate director of the Westlake, Calif-based National School Safety Center . . The_~fety center, which advises school security officers, says its statJsti~ show that youngsters are 99 times more likely to be shot and killed on the street or at home than in school. And this school year's 11 homicides and suicides - even with the Feb. 29 shooting of Michigan first-grader by a classmate - is well below !~st year's tally of 26. But multiple-victim shootings - such as Littleton, Jonesboro, Ark., and Springfield, Ore . - have nonetheless left schools recently guarding against or preparing for a major school-wide crisis. For example: -Four Anchorage , Alaska, students were suspended Friday after allegedly threatening to use guns and bombs at Wendler Middle School. -In Rush City, Minn., high school officials suspended four students Thursday after saying the teen-agers threatened to take over their school and shoot it up on the Columbine anniversary. -In Jay, Okla ., where threats of gun violence prompted par- · ents to pull their children out of classes Friday, police are expected to return to school halls this week, which also marks the fifth anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. But some officials fear they may be overreacting to perceived threats. Extra police officers will work Wednesday and Thursday at Rich East High School in Park Forest. Ill. But Cmdr. Patrick Fitzgerald, a city police officer who coordinates school safety, said he's heard more from reporters writing about the anniversary than scared parents and students. "Things have been very quiet out here ," he said. "When we take attendance on Thursday, we'll find out." The year since the shooting has left schools open to critics who contend they prefer SWATteams to mental health counselors. Nearly two dozen schools have tested Mosaic-2000, an FBI computer profiling program that rates potentially violent students on a scale of 1 to 10. And hundreds of officers trained at R.U.Ready High, a school-shooting simulation at the Blackwater 1 Training Center in Moyock. N.C.

1n senior citizen shooting LINCOLN PARK,Mich. (AP) . - A tenant at a senior-citizen apartment house opened fire with a rifle Tuesday after he was summoned to a meeting because of neighbors' complaints about his vulgar language, authorities said. Two women were killed, including a former city councilwoman who was delivering food to the needy . The man was taken into custody three hours later when police stormed his apartment, said police Lt. Donald Gentner. He did not resist and was not injured, but was on narcotics and taken to the hospital for observation, he said. He was in fair condition. The suspect's name was not released, and no charges were filed. Police had spent several hours searching the 14-story building for the gunman after the noon shooting . Other tenants were told to stay in their apartments during the search of the high-rise, and youngsters on the playground of an elementary school nearby were hurried inside and kept

there until parents arrived to pick them up . Apartment officials had summoned the man to a meeting after other residents complained of inappropriate language, said Phyllis McLenon, deputy director of the Housing Commission in the suburb 10 miles south of Detroit. McLenon did not explain what she meant by inappropriate language. At the meeting, the man "was very dissatisfied and making threats .... He kept saying he wouldn't have this character assassination and that he would take care of it;· she told WDIV-TV. "He was very upset. and was very upset with some of the ladies who were complaining about him." The man said he had a continuing problem with the women, she said. Police did not say if the women who were shot were the ones who had complained. McLenon said the man left the meeting and was gone for about 10 minutes, and H,.::n the building 's mainten nee man warned by IiJdio 1at the

man was coming back shooting. One of the victims was Marilyn Higgins, 64 , a former city council member and a longtime Lincoln Park Housing Commission member, Fire Chief Ernie Moon said . Charles Higgins said he and his wife were delivering day-old bakery good to needy residents of the building. They were in a meeting room when the gunman entered, he said. "One of the residents from the tower came down into the break room and started shooting with a rifle and killed my wife," Higgins told the Detroit Free Press. "We were all looking at him, when I realized he was shooting," Higgins said. "I went to a room where I thought I could get to a phone and my wife came down the hall after me. She started hollering at him to stop doing that and he just shot her ." Marilyn Higgins was elected to City Council in 1979 and re-elected in 1981. A 48-year resident of Lincoln Park , she

said an activist for the aged and city preservation. The identity of the other woman killed, a resident of the building, was not released . One of the women was shot in the face in the building office and another was shot in the doorway, McLenon said. Some people ran to a bathroom or scrambled under a desk to hide. "He came in looking for us," she said. Chris Sullivan , who lives on the 13th floor, said he had heard some women complain about the man's language. "I never heard him use foul Jar guage but a lot of the ladies complained he was vulgar," Sullivan said . In addition to the two women who were killed. a woman was hospitalized in critical condition.

PROTEST Continuedfrom Page2 protests. was part of Monday's peaceful mass arrest. She said the gentle treatment ended there: She saw federal marshals kick demonstrators and was threatened by them herself when she asked to make a phone call. "I felt physically endangered the entire time," Ennis said. Other protesters said they were kept handcuffed or chained overnight and were given no food , water or blankets, although many were soaked from drenching rains Monday . Some suffered severe chills and had to be hospitalized. "They refus ed to eat what we gave them ," Ramsey said. "This isn't the Hilton . You don't call room service and say, Tm a vege tarian. I want fish. I want tofu.' You get what we got ... You get bologna and bread." Spokesmen for the U.S. Marshals Service did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Robert W. Klotz, a securi ty consultant who used to command the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department's Special Operations Division, said police in Seattle had to retake ground lost to protesters. But here, he said, police never let protesters gain a foothold near the World Bank , IMF or impor-

A census worker called to tell Walker to expect a visit, but five days after the appointment , no one had shown up. Some politicians fear that many rural Americans will go uncounted . Val Beard, the county judge, or top elected official, in Brewster County- the largest county in Texas and home to Big Bend National Park - believes the count would be higher if the Census Bureau would mail forms to people with P.O. boxes. Beard contends that census-takers driving around will never be able to locate everyone in sparsely populated yet vast counties such as

tant federal buildings . "It's called seizing the high ground ," Klotz said . Ramsey also had active support from other federal and state agen cies. The U.S. Postal Service unbolted 86 mailboxes from 60 locations within what became the police security zone. The boxes are often removed during major Washington events to make them unavailable to pro testers looking for a place to hide bombs. Hundreds of newspaper vending machines were also removed from downtown streets . The estimated cost for the equipment , overtime , and support services could top $5 million, officials said - a figure equivalent to an appropriation Congress provided for Seattle to pay for security for last fall's WTO meetings . Police drew praise from business leaders, even though disruptions left many offices nearly inaccessible from Friday through Monday and cost nearby restaurants and shops a day's business.

SIERRABLANCA, Texas (AP)- Nineteen miles north of this tiny West Texas town, past endless fields of tall yellow grass and desert shrubs, is the beginning of a hilly dirt road . From there, it's eight miles down the bumpy path, beyond the signs that read "No trespassing" and "Keep out - Private property," before you reach Jim Walker's trailer . It is the task of Census Bureau workers to find Walker and thousands of other Americans who live way out in the country. Census-takers must go door-to-door in rural areas because the agency has a rule against mailing census forms to post office or rural route boxes. Walker, 80, doubts the headcounters will be able to find everyone . The census-takers are dropping by known homes and driving around, looking for other residences. only until May 1 but will make follow-up visits througn early July.

Kristin Hommel is a sophomore. Sort of. Utah State University's No. 1 pitcher this year only pitched two games last year due to a shoulder injury. But this year is another story for the elementary education major from Prescott. Ariz. After a rough start, Hommel (9-11) has settled into her position as the pitcher the Aggies turn to for the first game of every series. "When she's on the mound, we always have a chance (to win)."head coach Pam McCreesh said. And she is getting stronger as the season is wearing on. In the last five outings for Hommel. he has allowed only two earned runs , winning four and completing all five. She has won nine of USU's 17 games. Most of the pitches in her arsenal are back; the rise ball is the only one giving her problems. "I'm not all the way back." she said, adding that her fast ball is five m.p.h. slower than it was before the surgery. She looks to be completely back by the end of the season. Before last Sunday, she hadn't pitched two full games in two days. In game one

Will· USU's basketballsuccess translate to better recruiting? AD Pugmireis still trying to ~ shed the Big Westfor the WAC REUBENWADSWORTH

Sports Writer

What will bring a winning record back to Utah State University football? How can the football team show boosters it deserves money? How can USU land a spot in another league such as the Western Athletic Conference? According to Rance Pugmire, USU athletic director, there is a "twopart dynamic" for recruiting and funding success in a winning record and an entertaining product. At the last two home games of the season, when the USU basketball team was putting the finishing touches on its unbeaten conference season, fans came in droves. However, earlier in the year, even though the Aggies were winning. Pugmire said he was disappointed with the attendance at basketball games. According to Pugmire, fans should want to sup-

port USU athletics no matter what the win/loss record looks like. Less than 8,CXJO were in attendance at the last football game last season, Pugmire said, at a time when the squad was only 2-6. Many think the hiring of Mick Dennehy as football coach will lead to a more exciting product, and more importantly, a winning record, Pugmire said. Two of the most important keys to a winning program according to Dennehy are effort and intelligence. Dennehy said it is not the coaches that win games, players can only "digest" what they hear from the coaches and apply it to the game. "We'll win when the players are ready to win," he said. In recruiting, Dennehy is in an uphill battle. "The initial perception is we're behind," he said of recruiting. USU is constantly trying to recruit the same young men as the

Football still has a lot to cover in summer · offseason WADE DENNISTON

Senior Sports Writer

With spring practice now over, what's next for the Utah State University football team once summer comes? ·well, we'd like to keep as many guys around as we possibly can." said first-year Aggie head coach Mick Dennehy. "The summer program that Shawn Griswold (strength and conditioning coach) has got incorporated is a real big benefit. "I think the fact that the kids staying around (and) working together gives them the opportunity to toss the ball around, and do some things that. if they're all spread out. won't have a chance to do." Dennehy said it isn't mandatory for the players to hang around. but he'd like to get them all back by the first week of July. While it is optional what the players will be doing come summer, the coaching staff will continue to remain busy in preparation for the fall. And there are several important items the coaching staff would like to get accomplished before it's time for the players to put the pads back on. The first of those things is to attend coaching clinics. "One of the means that we have to try and keep up with the profession, and gain new knowledge and information is clinics and camps,"

Dennehy said. ·our defensive guys are going to go to the San Diego Charger mini-camp in the last week in April. Our offensive coaches are·going to spend time at the St. Louis Rams camp at the end of April. "Then, in May. we go out for two weeks and spring recruit. We'll take a look at what our needs are and go out and try to begin identifying players who are within those needs." When that's over, the coaching staff will return to Logan to begin preparations for hosting its own summer camp, June 19 through 22. And if that's not enough to keep the staff busy. there's the playbook to worry about. ·we·ve got to have our playbooks done." Dennehy said, "and all of those kinds of things hopefully by the end of June. We'll take a little bit of time off in July to kind of rtcharge the batteries a little bit." Although those items of business are important for the Aggie coaches. they are not nearly as important as making the team better by Sept. 2. when USU kicks off the season at Texas Tech University. "Probably the biggest thing, really, while we're here, is taking what we've found out that the kids can do and can't do, based on spring practice and incorporating new thoughts and ideas from camps and clinics, and things that we attend," Dennehy said.

While other Utah Starzz players worked on their college degrees. rested or played professionally,Williams and the National Team played a dozen college teams, drove around Europe playing various teams and participated in activitiesat the Women's Final Four.

"The hardest part were the days when I'd get homesick," she said. "Justbeing gone for seven months. that was hard." Williams did get a couple weeks off at Christmas, but other breaks were so short she barely had time to catch up on bills, laundry and see her cats, who probably only offered an insolent glance instead of sympathy. 'Tm feeling good right now; I had a whole week off,"said Williams,who spent some of her free time exploring Moab. "Now I'm getting excited for the season and starting to train for it." The U.S. National Team's tour was similar to the one the women undertook before the 1996 Olympics.That team went 60-0, including an 8-0 mark in the Olympic Games, but there was no WNBAschedule to worry about then.

The groundswell of support culminated in sold-out games and convinced NBAofficials there was a market for a women's professional league. So, with the WNBAlooking more and more like a permanent league, and with the Olym'piCSoh fu~tgn soil. was this tour necessary? "Yes.it was,"Williams said. "We're going to Australia and playing in front of an extremely hostile crowd and we're the defending gold medalists. Everyone is going to bring their best game against us. Some people couldn't believe we were going to do this in between seasons, but (U.S. Coach) Nell Fortner did a good job making sure we all got our rest." The 1996 team was an incredible ensemble of talent. including Leslie.Teresa Edwards.Sheryl Swoopes.Nikki McCray,Dawn Staley and Katrina McClain.It was like putting the Harlem Globetrotters against a Junior Jazzteam whose players were blindfolded, had their shoelaces tied together and spun around until they were dizzy.

Dennehy said he believes community service off the field and hard work on the field will also impress the boosters. He said the players should show integrity by "keeping their noses clean" to foster an image favorable to the boosters. Dennehy said he feels he is adding integrity to the USU football program by emphasizing that his players graduate . He said he wants his players to contribute to both athletic and academic performance. He said he would like players to realize how important a degree will be because the majority of them will not play football after college.

HOUSTON (AP)- Baseball owners voted unanimously Monday to approve the $96 million sale of the Kansas City Royals to team chairman David Glass. Glass took over as Royals chairman in September 1993, shortly after the death of founding owner Ewing Kauffman . Under Kauffman's succes_sion plan, the team was offered for sale to Kansas -area u s rorrtpanies, with the money earmarked for charity. "It's been a long time coming," Glass said. ''I've already raised the cash. Thank goodness I didn't have it in the Nasdaq ."

Kenyans continue to dominate Boston Marathon, now up to IO straight wins BOSTON (AP) - First. it was the kenyan men. Now, even the women are winning the Boston Marathon. Kenya's domination in Boston extended to a record 10 consecutive victories Monday, as Elijah Lagat outkicked Ethiopia's Gezahenge Abera and Kenya's Moses Tanui in the closest finish in the race's 104-year history. Lagat and Abera were both timed in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 47 seconds, with Tanui three seconds back. The women 's ending wasn't as close but it was still the same: A Kenyan wearing the laurel wreath Catherine Ndereba, competing in only her third marathon, pulled away in the final mile and became the first Kenyan winner, at 2:26:11. Ndereba thwarted the bid of Ethiopia's Fatuma Roba to become the first competitor male or female - to win the race four consecutive times . The struggling Roba finished third at 2:26:27. the same time as runner-up Irina Bogacheva of Kyrgyzstan, who came from behind and beat her in the final stride. Like the men. the women's finish was the closest ever between the top two and among the top three runners. Tm not only happy to win, but I'm going to the Olympics and represent my country," said Lagat, who took up run ning professionally only after his doctor told him in 1992 that he had a heart condition and-might die. With this race being an Olympic qualifier for the Kenyan men's Olympic team , Lagat and Tanui earned places on the squad, joining Kenneth Cheruyiot. winner of Sunday's Rotterdam Marathon . The 33-year-old Lagat said

his doctor warned him that he had a lot of fat around his heart and urged him to lose weight. At the time, he weighed 158 1-2 pounds . Now, he weighs 125 1-2. "After I started running, my heart problem disappeared ," he said. 'Tm OK now." Makethat sensational. Staying with the lead pack throughout the race that was slowed by headwinds and cold, the persistent Lagat came into the final stretch locked in a dramatic duel with Abera and Tanui, the 1996 and 1998 winner.

Th e three exchanged the lead a couple of times, and with less than a half-mile remaining, it app eared Tanui would go on to his third victory. But Lagat was not to be denied, and h is final surge enabled him to edge the ch arging Abera as Tanui faded. Abera, running on his 22nd birthday, contended the Kenyans were kicking and pu shin g him "I can't say it was inten tional." he said, "but it was a strain on my muscles."

Tothe EDITOR

I am continually astounded that newspapers feel they can publish any number that their reporters or editors have read somewhere. No matter how phony the number is, if they have read it somewhere else, they will tell their readers it is a true statistic. For instance, in your Monday, April 17, issue on Page 9 you printed "425,972: Number of showers the average American takes in his/her lifetime." The average American lifetime is close to 80 years. We find a number close to the number of days in the average American lifetime by multiplying 80 x 365. The answer is 29,200. We now calculate the average number of showers you claim an American takes each day by 425,972/29,200 = 14.6 showers per

Where have all the Aggies gone

I would like to give a special thanks to all of the USU students that support the ultimate frisbee team, all three of them. It's nice to see that Utah State students have so much school spirit, and are so willing to drive all the way to Pocatello, Idaho, to watch one of the biggest tournaments of the year. There is little more awe inspiring than listening to three people belt out The Scotsman. It brings a tear to ones eye hearing them chant, "Utah State hey! Aggies all the way!" Even greater than that was the infamous three man wave, which made it twice around the whole field!

Republicans: a view on issues

luDE"s KoRNER / KadeMinchey I thought it would be interesting to show w h a t Republicans are saying on some of the current issues.So, first, I found a quote that deals with the Elian Gonzalez issue. This is Ann Coulter's, a conservative Republican, take on Elian. She says: "Liberals ... are forever kvetching about federal laws that require the deportation of aliens who actually commit felonies in this country. Let a criminal wash ashore and the Left sees him as part of the American dre:im. "But if it's a little boy who lands on our shores only because - by all accounts his mother simply wished for him to grow up in freedom, and Liberals can't see him deported fast enough ... The Left has never thought parents important enough to be informed if their minor children have abortions, perennially opposing parental notification laws. "Indeed, fathers are so irrelevant under the law that they have no say over the decision of whether or not their own children will be aborted. Elian's mother could have aborted Elian without input from the father, but she can't give him freedom without the father's consent." - Ann Coulter, taken from the Federalist at federaIi st.com. I think Ann brings up a beautiful example of the liberal double standard. As I have tried to illustrate in some of my other columns, extreme liberalism doesn't have concrete val-

ues. Rather, as the Elian case shows, they waver and change their position as time and issueschange. Now to turn to another issue, the state of Tennessee is scheduled to execute their first prisoner in over two generations. Gov. Don Sundquist has refused to grant clemency. The Nashville Tennessean reported Tuesday that 18 people were arrested for protesting in front of the Governor's mansion. Indeed the controversy surrounding the death penalty is vast. However, I think Alan Keyes put it into perspective when he wrote: "Ultimately, support for the death penalty must be grounded on the love of justice and an unqualified respect for the dignity of innocent human life .... (It) is an imperative of the respect for life that we retain the death penalty as an elemenl of law in certain limited cases. If we do not, we risk applying a corrosive relativism to our national respect for life." taken from the Federalistat federalist.com. Now my column wouidn't be complete if I didn't mention something about Al Gore and his attempts to deceive the American public. However, this time instead of interpreting Al's tactics for you, I am going to let the American public speak for me. The following are polls taken from the Los Angeles Times, ABC news and yrock.com. These polls summarily say what I have been saying all along - that Al Gore just doesn't get it. Even more Americans don't want empty promises and more legislation. They want strong

enforcement on the laws this country already has. For those of you that don't understand what these statistics mean, read Al Gore's position on these issues and I think you will understand. Sixty-eight percent of Americans say the best way to reduce gun violence is to simply enforce the laws already in place. Only 29 percent believe creating new and different gun control laws will be more effective. Oohn Lott citing a Zogby poll, "Perspectives on Gun Control," The Los Angeles Times, March 19, 2000) Nearly half of the country, 48 percent, say stricter gun laws wou ld have no effect on gun violence. Only 25 percent think stricter gun laws would reduce gun violence (Poll by ABCNews .com, Dalia Sussman, "Gun Control Support Muffled" ABCNews.com, April 5, 2000) Why Americans think our kids are violent: 42 percent - parents spend too little quality time with their children, 30 percent - the violence on television, movies, music and video games, 11 percent - access to gun, 1O percent- lack of good role models, 5 percent - failure of schools to promote civility and mcral values. Eighty-four percent of Americans say tne best answer to gun violence in schools is greater involvement of parents in their kids' lives. Only 14 percent selected more gun control legislation.

Democrats: a different view on life OK, THEWAY I SE£rr / Rich Timothv The minority has just b e e n given a VO i Ce. W h a t minority you may be asking yourself? The Liberals? The Democrats? All the free thinking individuals that don't believe the conservative point of view is necessarily the correct one? No one has called me to this position I wasn't voted in. And I'm sure that not all liberals are going to agree with me all of the time. But if you think about it, isn't that the best part? We all have differing views, and it's time that the differing view finally had a place to make its voice known. The surplus amount of Republicans on campus is a rather noticeable quality. But I am curious to know if many of you are that way because of your parents and your avoidance of the issues. Or do you have a clear understanding of what you believe and why? One of my main purposesis to inflict a little more thought in the Republican Party, although the occasional tangent of how I see it will grace your reading at times. OK. The way I see it, an article I was reading last week seemed overly insightful. Well, it would have if I were a 14year-old boy sitting in art class. I was so pleased that the writer was able o find at leastone difference between Democrats and Republicans. Nice manipulation skills as well. He brought in the father figure, working hard to support his family and trying to make a living. Then he threw in the

angelic saint (the Republican) to save the family from financial peril. But along comes the evil' doers (the Democrats) to steal from the All-American family so the homeless are fed. What evil, evil people they are. A truly great, and obviously realI ife, situation that happens every ten minutes in this country. I do wonder if any research was done or, as usual, was it a fabricated story to suit only one person - the author. And just like he said, the major difference is "those who think and don't think." I think this individual needs to think a little more if that's the best discrepancy he has with Democrats. And let me express how pleased I am that the homeless were brought up. Let me guess. We should just get rid of homeless shelte(Sso dear old Dad can eat a little more beef and buy that houseboat he's always wanted. I question if this writer has ever been to a homelessshelter. I doubt if he has ever taken the time to give something a little more valuable than money - time - to get to know a homeless person. I imagine he is stuck in that elitist mind set that all homeless are scam artists try· ing to get free money to buy drugs. I also doubt whether he has ever gone to a shelter and helped, viewing the gratitude in the eyes of a homeless person when you give them some food? All people have the right to life, liberty and happiness and as Americans we sAould help those who don't have those rights in this country.

Looking for a rewarding career? How about Rehabilitation Counseling?

CHICAGO TRIBUNE/ KnightRidder(J'ribune News Seroice A s the first anniversary of the Columbine

H i g h School massacre approaches, it becomes clear that there were not just 15, but 16 casualties in that Colorado shooting rampage last April 20. The last victim: common sense. What else but the death of common sense could account for a decision like that of the school authorities in Sayreville, N.J., who earlier this month suspended four ki ndergartners because, aiming their index fingers as if they were guns, they pretended to shoot at other children on a school playground?

"gone off the deep end" with this action. This is of a piece with lunatic applications of "zero tolerance" that have flourished in recent years and resulted in some stupendously unfair instances of school discipline. In their concern to protect children (and, we suspect, to insulate themselves from political attacks and lawsuits) some school officials are turning schools into grim, joyless, unimaginative cells, as far removed from what a school should be as an index finger is from a gun barrel. Chill out, folks . Lighten up. Get a grip. And for the kids' sake, start using some common sense.

What about the kids in this country?

lt'S A fiLd

ROBBYMf.S.SER / NorthernArizonaUniversity It ' s frustrating to have to pick up a newspaper everyday or read a b o u t reports from organizations such as the Children's Action Alliance about the hardships of the nation 's youth. It seems as though children in the United Statesare growing up in worse conditions than ever. The divorce rate is more than 50 percent. And in the state of Arizona alone, 310,000 children live.in poverty. Add 60,000 to that number and you'll have the number of uninsured chi ldren there. With that said, it's time to send Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba,. If so many of our own children are being neglected, there's work to be done in this country before the federal government allows another to live here. Elian's babysitters in Florida might have the best intentions, but there's one thing that should not be overlooked: kids

belong with their parents. And while, yes, Cuba is a communist country, America is also turning into a terrible couAtry to raise a .kiid. Every week in Arizona, 62 babies are born to teen-aged mothers - many of whom are abandoned by the men who fathered their children. At east Elian's father wants his boy back and is here in the U.S. to pick him up. Everyday, 87 teens drop out of school in Arizona. At least Juan Gonzalez has made his interest in the welfare and education of his child, Elian, publicly known. Juan Gonzalez has made it clear he's eager to teach his son about life. About right and wrong. About how to grow up and be a man. And while he's at it, Juan Gonzalez can also explain to Elian that the United Statesonly used him as a political pawn. A way to show the world that the United States is better than Cuba. The only thing proven in this case is that the government 1s very good at trying to look good by rescuing one child from an oppressive situation. If only it made as big a fuss about

the children right in its own back yard. Government officials don't even know if Elian's life was that bad in-Cuba. All they know , was that his mother and 10 others died when their boat capsized. His Miami relatives have said he doesn't want to go back to Cuba, and well, is it any surprise that they'd say anything to keep the boy here? The answer to this mess is simple: Elian lost one parent and he needs to be reunited with the other. This boy needs to be raised by the man who apparently wants to raise him. He shouldn't be denied that privilege. Elian will be fine back in his home country. To the people of Cuba, he's a hero. To us, he's taking up space in the news for issues that pertain to us. The only thing they don't put in the newspapers is every time Elian goes to the bathroom. But give it time. The United States needs to send Elian back. He's not ours.
