ASUSU works to revise USU Student Code LAURABELLAMY

Senior Ne-<.1Js Writer Trying to make policies more clearly defined for teachers and wanting to protect student rights, the Associated Students of Utah State University have been working on revising the USU Student Code. · According to Campus Judicial Officer Dallin Phillips, the revisions in the Student Code will include defining a classroom civility policy, outlining timeliness for student violations and creating procedures for students with psychological disorders. The civility in the classroom policy would give teachers the authority to remove students from class and give students the right to have a hearing after being kicked out, Phillips said. "There is no provision in the Student Code to remove a student from a classroom if they were very disruptive,"

Canyons can be dangerous when wet, tal<e caution when hiking BILLIE READ

Staff Writer Moist conditions in canyons have turned some ·rewarding" hikes into treacherous activities, according to Kevin Cobe, director of the Outdoor Recreation Center at Utah State University. On April 15 a USU student was injured by a boulder while hiking in Logan Canyon. Sadie Enright, 21, suffered back and neck injuries after she was struck by a 1.500-pound boulder in Logan Canyon. Enright was with her parents; her father Michael was also injured by the boulder. Cody Williams, 21, was also with the group, sustaining minor head injuries

after being clipped by the boulder. Currently, Enright has been released from Logan Regional Hospital and is recovering in her home. Cobe said this kind of accident is one that is hard to avoid because one "cannot predict rock fall: However, there are some precautions that should be taken when hiking. especially off trail. he said. Cobe said it is a good idea to call around for information on local hiking areas. He said Logan has a "hiking community" composed of people with great knowledge about the surrounding areas. Additionally, he said the ORC provides informa-

tion about what can be expected from hikes around Logan. Trail hiking is safer. Cobe said. This type of hiking is done on trails that are maintained and beginners may find they enjoy this type of hiking better, he said. No matter what kind of hiking an individual plans on doing. Cobe suggests to always be prepared. It is vital to have extra supplies including clothes and water, he said. Cobe said packing and knowing how to use a map and first-aid kit are also good ideas. Lastly, Cobe said hikers should notify someone of the areas they're going to and the anticipated time they will return.

Phillips said. "You'd be surprised, but problems occur quite often." Under the policy, which is still in the works, teachers could remove students for disruptive or threatening behavior, Phillips said. The code will eventually outline what can be considered disruptive behavior. ·some teachers think reading a newspaper or coming in late is disruptive behavior." Phillips said. ·1 think over time those issues will be defined. but now we're dealing with clear-cut cases." According to former ASUSU Academic Vice President Emily Croshaw. one of the code's major problems is that it is inconsistent in handling situations. "We're trying to create equal treatment," Croshaw said. "Inconsistency won't solve any problems." The revision would also include treatment of students with psychological disorders. "Usually students with psy-

chological disorders are discovered because they've violated some aspect of the student code," Phillips said. "Punishing those students doesn't solve anything." Phillips said the counseling and wellness center will be helping to draft new policies to protect and help these students. "We're going to try to deal with the actual problem rather than it's symptoms." Phillips said. Hopefully, revising the code will also bring it to students· attention, he said. "Most students aren't aware of the Student Code and don't become aware of it until they violate it." he said. According to Phillips. the Faculty Senate has been working on the policy for more than a year and it is expected to be passed on to the administration soon. "I suppose it could be resolved as soon as the Board of Regents meeting in May," Phillips said.

Petition asks for support on religious, moral issues The writer of an assumedly "anonymous· petition that has been circulating at Utah State University and in the City of Logan said she didn't mean for her identity to be a mystery. Melanie Smith, a resident of Logan who is not a student at USU, began the petition in an effort to bring up issues that will "inspire the leaders of USU to have integrity to defend those things that they know to be right." "I've written letters before with my name," she said. "No one has said anything until it's anonymous." Smith said she distributed 1,000 copies of the petition, which addresses issues of morality and religion, during

The Utah State University Police Department is "almost overwhelmed" with increasing theft reports and trying to wrap up its cases before the end of the year, said James Nye, an investigator with USU Police. The last two weeks of any semester the opportunity for theft increases, Nye said. Students moving out of their dorms and apartments tend to leave doors open or unlocked. he said. CD's, laptops, books and backpacks are the most common items stolen, he said. ·1 think we need to be more cautious. You can be in and out in 30 seconds with a pair of skis,"Nye said. "People need to pay a little more attention to their property these next two weeks." According to Nye, theft is

Smith said she hopes students will be able to vote on the issues she has named in the petition and possibly change the current policy. Former Associated Students of USU President Nate Anderson said while students are allowed to take surveys or opinion polls on any issue, their ability to change policy is advisory in nature. ·students do have an ability to influence university decision-making, but do not have the authority to enact policy changes by a majority vote," he said.

Although it is against campus policy to put fliers on cars, Smith said she put her petition on car windshields in campus lots because she could see no other alternative. "It was a hard thing," she said. "It was like choosing between two evils. It wasn't to be dishonest or disobedient. It's something I believe in and that was the only way I could go about it." Smith is asking individuals to sign the petition and mail it to individuals in various positions of authority at USU and in the state. Among other things, the petition asks that creationism be allowed to be taught in school, sports and

tions have the same rights as campus organizations and be allowed to participate in door-to-door solicitation in on-campus housing. John Ringle, associate director of USU Housing, said there was a suggestion made from ASUSU to allow door-todoor solicitation. The decision was made by the Resident Hall Student Association that students shouldn't be bothered all the time, he said. ·we have an obligation to residents to manage all the intrusion into their daily lives," he said. Ringle said he has received two petitions from a married couple. The couple was unavailable for comment. Concerning Smith's petition and ideas, Ringle said he feels it is a very extremist position to take.

"It's not very inclusive of all diversity," Ringle said. "It's a step backward in human relations." Smith. however, said there is ·no diversity where right and wrong is concerned." She said she wants to disacknowledge the Pride! Alliance because it is ·unfair to promote or support any group that promotes an act that can only bring sorrow to this world." "I believe homosexuality is a choice just as I can choose to be moral or immoral," she said. Smith said although this issue has created controversy. she isn't trying to upset people. "I don't like contention. I like peace," she said. "But I am afraid to offend God more than people."

the most common crime at USU and resulted in $70,CXX> of lost USU and personal property in 1999 and $100,CXX> in 1998. The Taggart Student Center and on-campus housing areas around the Junction are the most common locations for property theft, Nye said. ·The amount of stolen property varies from year to year. It depends on the quality of the students on campus," Nye said. USU Police officers are able to recover about 20 percent of stolen property. Nye said. When they find stolen property, Nye said. campus police are usually good at running a search of related property and returning it to the owner. he said. "The tragedy is we do come across a ton of stolen property and we don't know where it came from. It is rare to find the owner because the property was never reported stolen," Nye said.

"Even when a theft is reported it is difficult to investigate because there is usually no evidence or witnesses," Nye said. To return stolen property. Nye said it is helpful to have serial numbers and write names on items. Property recovered by USU Police can be sold at the university's bid sale after the police have held it for 90 days, Nye said. With the end of the year approaching, Nye said they are also trying to wrap up cases as fast as possible. "If you've got a warrant for your arrest, go take care of it," Nye said. "We got a whole bunch of people and we'll catch up to you." Nye said USU Police will, in the next two weeks. arrest those students and a professor who have bench warrants for their arrest unless they come in and resolve the matter on their own.

SALTLAKECITY (AP)- A British judge has revoked bail for Robert Elmer Kleasen, suspected of killing two Mormon missionaries in Texas more than 25 years ago. and he will be kept in jail pending sentencing for weapons violations. Kleasen has been free on bail since March 17 when he pleaded guilty to four firearms charges in England, v.here he has lived since 1990. On April 10, police in Hull arrested him while he allegedly was attempting to flee the country. On Wednesday, Grimsby Crown Court Judge Michael Heath said he considered Kleasen a flight risk and revoked bail. Kleasen, 67. faces up to five years in prison on charges of illegal possession of weapons and ammunition. Kleasen spent two years on death row for the slaying of a Mormon missionary in Texas but the conviction was over-

turned. In 1974, Kleasen lived in a trailer behind a taxidermy shop in the hills west of Austin, Texas. That Oct. 28, two missionaries were to dine with him. Police believe Gary Darley, 20. of Simi Valley, Calif.. and Mark Fischer. 19, of Milwaukee, kept that date and were shot to death. Police found Fischer's bloody watch and bullet-punctured name tag in Kleasen's trailer. The victims' bodies never were found . Investigators did find blood and body tissue on a band saw in the taxidermy shop, and prosecutors at Kleasen's 1975 murder trial alleged he dismembered the victims and buried the remains. A jury found Kleasen guilty, but an appeals court overturned the conviction. based on a faulty search warrant.

these up," Lyons said. "You don't have to be involved in student government. though that's certainly a good thing to do. There are a lot of organizations you can get involved in where you have to work with people." She said reading and writing skills are also a must. "You make sure you learn how to write," she said. "When you get out in the world, you have to write all the time. There are memos and all kinds of things where people are going to expect succinct. good writing." Students can also take major strides toward success by network ing. "Seventy percent of people who get full-time jobs say they get them through networking," Scheaffer said Students can network by attending or volunteering to host at career fairs, talking to professors and talking with people involved in the career field they are interested in. "A lot of good internships are set up that way, so a student shouldn't hesitate and be shy," Lyons said. It's never too late for a student to look for an internship, but the ideal is to start looking as a freshman and be ready to apply after sophomore year. This way a student has the opportunity to learn early in their major if it's right for them. It also allows time for a second internship later on if desired, Scheaffer said. Lyons suggested students arrange their schedules early to go to school during Summer Semester and find an internship for Fall Semester when fewer students are competing for a spot. The Career Services Center has many resources in addition to coun selors to help students apply for internships. including a short video and pamphlets to guide them through the process of writing a resume and cover letter and inter viewing.

He greets his customers with a smile, calls them by name and chats with them while cooking their meals. "It seems like everyone that comes in here , he knows them," said Luis Pitcher. another regular at Eddie's Restaurant and Jon's brother . "Now whether or not he does, I don't know, but it seems like he does." Maybe that's all part of the prod-

uct Baker offers. Maybe it's not just great ribs and good prices. Maybe it's a more complete package - a dining experience based not only on good food. but a pleasant atmosphere: the type of scene one might find on a "Cheers" rerun . How dose one succeed with a restaurant like Baker's? The answer isn't in any graphs or thick textbooks. It's in the product offered. And according to several loyal customers. Baker offers a good one.

WILLIMANTIC, Conn. ([MS) - Minor violations of campus code land students at Eastern ConnecticutState Universitya seat at the opera. After findingthat free ticketsto the opera and symphonydidn't generate much interest among students, KirkPeters,associatedean of student affairsestablishedthe university's AlternativeRestitutionProgram,which gives students guiltyof minor offensesa choice between performingcommunityserviceor attending an opera performance. So far,about 50 students have taken Peters up on the show. Amongthem is Felipe Dossou, a first-yearstudent cited for tearing up the women·ssoftballfield during a raindrenched pick-upfootballgame. Dossousaid he'd alwaysthought the opera was a "rich. snobby" thing to do, but would definitely return now that he's actuallybeen. Despitethe chance to attract new fans,officialsat the ConnecticutOpera have complained about having their art being presented as a form of punishment, but Petersshrugs off the criticism. "Myidea was to raise the bar here anywayI could,"he said.

5-year-old piano prodigy ready for big time TRACEYA. REEVES

The Washington Post

When Kenneth Adams first set down the Casio keyboard before his 3-year-oldson, the boy reached eagerlyfor the electronicinstrument, his face lighting up at the sounds it made when he touched the keys. Jordan Adams plinked out a jumble of notes, happily composing discordant ·songs.· Unlike toys that briefly kept the boy'sattention, the keyboard became a favorite.Day after day,he'd reach for it, sometimes playing for hours. Alongthe way,t}1enotes started sounding like melodies. And it struck Adams:"He wasn't just smackingthe keys,he was playingthem" Jordan, 5, is still tapping, but he's graduated to an upright piano and a more-sophisticated sound. No more "JingleBells." This kid plays Mozart - without sheet music. This summer, he'll play at the United Nations and two embassiesin Washington. Last month, he performed for Maryland Gov.Parris N. Glendening during a celebration of the state's arts. This month, Jordan's parents will take him to an open audition in New YorkCity for a chance to appear on the televisionprogram "It'sShowtimeat the Apollo" Not bad for a kid whose legs don't even reach the foot pedals.

and goals. Users can alk about their favorite pets, discuss current global situations, or meet a virtual tennis partner or soul mate. Services such as matchmaker.com and gotdates.com are becoming more popular and more accepted among students as well as other teen-agers and adults. Jodie Dominguez of Fort Lauderdale Fla., runs the Matchmaker.com site, which encourages users to complete detailed surveys about their likes and dislikes and to "Go meet somebody!" Dominguez followed that command and met her husband of six years there. The site ensures the privacy of members by keeping them anonymous. Keeping user names a secret is designed to promote safety, which is a concern for many using the Internet to find promising partners. Dominguez insists that with the additional security, Internet dating isn·t any more dangerous than trolling for Mr. or Mrs. Right in a bar. "Atleast with the match maker, you can prescreen the people," she said.

Several variables impact the effective processing of adoptions including: • T,mely faculty adopt ion submissions • Out -of-print textbooks

With his talent still budding, Jordan already draws comparisons to a young Denyce Graves,Leontyne Price or Simon Estes- African Americans who helped break the color barrier in classical music. ·rt·s rare to find a child of any age who is that focused on anything.· said Raymond Jackson.a professor of piano at Howard University.who also began playing as a toddler. "And certainly,you don't run into many African-Americanclassical pianists." Jordan's piano teacher, Bella Oster. said she certainly doesn't. Of the 106 students ages 3 to 16 whom she teaches at her European Academyof Music and Art in Burtonsville,Md.,

Jordan is the only African American. Tm proud of them all. But he is special,"Oster said.The native of the former Soviet Union began teaching Jordan 18 months ago, after his father picked her name from the telephone book. Jordan learned to read sheet music soon after meeting Oster. He practicesat least an hour a day.And he plays as if he feels the music, leaning into and away from the piano, curling his wrists up and down with each stroke of the keys. "This is a gift,"she said, snapping her fingersto the rhythm of Jordan's playing. "Howmuch, how wide, I don't know.But with lessons,he will go far. I will teach him."

___________ intimately, you feel you know them , but you have to be careful," she said. "They could be telling the truth or they could be lying." Scuba said she learned that the hard way when she moved with her family to Las Vegas last year. She met a man from the area online and invited him to go out for dinner or coffee. When he arrived at her apartment, Scuba said he sexually assaulted her. Nowadays, Scuba said she provides online friends with minimal personal information while checking out their stories for consistency. She also thinks people should consider safety when meeting someone through the Internet or in

_.! person. ·when meeting someone, no matter how nice they sound or how long you've been talking, you should be careful," she said. "Don't give your name. phone number or address and never meet them alone." That doesn't mean the relationship can't get more personal with time. Meredith Perry. a first-year student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said she met one of her best friends through an AOL newsletter designed for people with shared movie interests. , "It seems like a weird way of meeting people, but I am glad we did," she said.

College for home-schooled

·~iI KOst ot~

LIZ SEYMOUR

In homes nationwide, many high school seniors are agonizing over where they'll attend college in the fall. But few face a starker choice than Jeremy L. Sewall. His options are the College of William and Mary Virginia·s oldest and arguably most prestigious institution and Patrick Henry College, a campus geared for students who were home-schooled that opens in the fall in Purcellville. Va. . Sewall's mother taught him at home in Falls Church, Va. He scored 1.480 out of 1,600 on the SATcollege admissions exam, plays piano and bagpipes, and aspires to be a lawyer. He is impressed with William and Mary's reputation and believes the elite college could launch his career. Despite that , he is drawn to being part of Patrick Henry's inaugural class. ·r just believe that Patrick Henry is going to succeed beyond anyone's wildest dreams," said Sewall, 18. "If I'm not a part of it, I'll feel like I have missed out on a chance of a lifetime to get in on ground zero.· Michael P. Farris. president of Patrick Henry and head of the Home School Legal Defense Association, had estimated the school would enroll 120 students in September. But it has received just over 90 applications . He said the school's admissions requirements might have pu t off some students. Most competitive colleges require one or two essays: Patrick Henry asks for three, including one describing the student's "relationship with Jesus Christ and - personal walk of faith ." Farris hopes enrollment eventually will reach 600 at the four-year school, which is being built in Loudoun County.

The U.S. Postal Service is stamping out American culture. Hardly a week goes by that the agency doesn 't come out with a stamp honoring somebody or something, depicting an achievement or noting a problem . The stamps come in a rustling, slithering flood of 5 billion to 6 billion a year : singles, sheets. rolls, blocks, booklets . Who can keep up with them? When Granddaddy was a boy he could pretty well stay abreast of American stamp issues, largely by getting th~ parents of his friends and neigh hors to save envelopes for him . Daddy could do the same, although from time to time he'd h ave to dip into his allowance to buy unusual issues from mail -order com panies . No more .

Jeremy L. Sewall of Falls Church, Va., tackles some homework for /zis

home-schooling. He is deciding between the College of William a11d Mary and Patrick Henry College, which will open this fall.

Students will pay $15,000 a year to attend the privately financed college. Nationwide, home-schooled students in kindergarten through 12th grade have increased from about 800,000 in 1990 to 1.7 million in 1998, according to the National Center for Home Education. It estimates that more than 200,000 home-schooled students now attend college. Eighty-four percent of the students who applied to Patrick Henry were homeschooled at some point, its officials said. Matthew S. Thornton. 18, of Warner Robins, Ga., put off college for a year while waiting for Patrick Henry to open . He took a job at a department store and hasn 't applied to other colleges. ·1 really liked the appren ticeship model," Thornton said, referring to the requirement

that Patrick Henry students spend half their time interning on Capitol Hill or in other public-policy jobs. Thornton hopes to start a political action committee before running for elective office. Farris, a onetime candidate for lieutenant governor in Virginia. said many Patrick Henry admittees and their families feel loyal to the school because they have been active in his home-school association . "It's as if their parents had graduated from the college. The families know us and believe that we're trustworthy ." Farris said. "It's not truly starting from scratch . It's really two decades of relationships ." Sewall said he planned to attend a reception for students admitted to William and Mary before deciding. He has been talking to his parents and praying for guidance, he said.

envelopes postmarked on the day and at the place where they were first issued . Otherwise, most collectors now buy "mint · stamps by the block or booklet, pane or sheet. Dealers and serious collectors have open accounts with the Postal Service so that they receive new issues automatically . As the popularity of collecting has grown , so has the clamor from organizations and interest groups for stamps honoring their favorite people , places and events . The Postal Service gets some 40,000 new stamp proposals a year . Many are casual, or too crude or clumsy to consider, but most represent the best efforts of sincere citizens and are taken seriously by the 15-member Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee , established in 1957. The members, whose identities are kept confidential to avoid back-channel badgering, wade and weed their way through the pro -

posals and forward the bes t to the postmaster general. who makes the final decisions . In the normal flow of events it takes several years for a new stamp to progress from proposal to approval to final design to printing . Along the way every step is guided by a dozen selection criteria designed to weed out such influences as commercialism, special interests or trivialities. There's controversy over how the research money should be allocated, and some stamp collectors have asserted that since collectors buy many of the stamps , philatelic organizations deserve a cut also. However the struggle plays out , the Postal Service can be counted on to keep turning out a kaleidoscopic profusion of stamps. To give an idea of the colorful cornucopia, related articles present the prospec tive first -class issues for this first year of the new millen nium.

of USU quotes NEVER BEHIND / Aaron Morton "Win the e x t game ." n

When Utah S t a t e University assistant basketball coach Randy Rahe said this before the season, I really didn't think this team philosophy would be so successful. Boy was I wrong. As this school year winds down, I took a look back at the quotes that made it what it was. This year had a lot of twists and turns, successes and pathetic defeats. Here is the gambit of what I heard. Quotes are sometimes more interesting in hindsight. Take then-head footbal I coach Dave Arslanian after the team's final scrimmage before the regular season . "This is like a dress rehearsal for our game next week," Arslanian said. "Tomorrow morning we'll make all our corrections, then we'll be perfect. Perfect." Maybe not. Head basketball coach Stew Morrill said something similar after the home loss to Brigham Young University. "These two games are going to be good for us no matter what," he said. "We'll be all right." And then two months later: "I'm happy," he said after USU won the Big West Championship. "It's hard to imagine what these kids have accomplished. I'm not sure it will ever happen again. They have been the most unselfish group I've ever been a part of. We don't have egos, we just have guys that are good men." Sometimes it was what they didn't say that told you everything. No Aggies were quoted about their 31-3 loss to the University of Idaho at Pullman, Wash . ,They went straight to their busses. Other quotes make me smile because of what they remind me of. "I was kind of tickled that he stayed in my way," Troy Rolle said of his thundering dunk over a poor Boise State University player in USU's final home game . "I was like, 'Nothing is going to stop me from getting to this rim."' Head women's soccer coach Stacey Enos is always a pleasure to talk to, especially after a big win . "Wasn't that pretty soccer?" Enos said after whipping BSU to reach .500 in conference play for the first time that season. "We had a lot of fun." While doing a feature on overseas players, I asked back-up linebacker and special teams player Jeff Mauga why school is so important in his family. "My mom wouldn't allow anything else," Mauga said. Getting to know the players behind the face mask is one of my favorite parts of the job. I will leave you to the thrills and spills of summer with visions of the future . "I've met a couple of the players, " new head football coach Mick Dennehy said in his opening press conference. "The one thing that the players have impressed upon me is that you're the fourth coach I've had here and that's a damn shame. It really is." "I'm confident he will win ," Athletic Drector Rance Pugmire said at the same press conferen ce. "We expect him to win."

Aaron Morton is the assistant sports editorof the Statesman. He would like to thank all the gang at the softballmediashed for a great season.

UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY

AthleHcMedia Relation,

Utah State University's track team qualified four athletes for the NCAA championships as they competed at the Clarence Robinson Invitational hosted by Brigham Young University over the weekend. "The thing we want to do is keep improving every week," said head coach Gregg Gensel. "Not only do you want them to qualify for nationals, but you want the team to keep improving and having them qualify show us they are doing

that.· Sophomore Brett Guymon qualified for the NCAA championships in the 400-meter hurdles with his personal record time of 50.07. The mark is the second best in USU history, just behind former Aggie hurdler Corey Murdock. Freshman Joel Johnson provisionally qualified for nationals in the decathlon with his personal record mark of 7,132. The mark is third best in school history. Other Aggies who provisionally qualifed for the NCAA were freshman Neil Warr in

the javelin with his personal record throw of 211-11.25 and senior Mark Calvin with his second-place mark in the pole vault with a jump of 17 feet 4 75 inches. More top performances for the USU men's team came from junior James Parker with a first-place finish in the Hammer (228-02.5), a secondplace mark in the discus (18407) and a third-place mark in the shot put (55-09.25).

At times the USU hockey club had no peers in the RMCHA REUBEN WADSWORTH

Sports Writer

First in league and fifth in the nation. That's what the Utah State University hockey team accomplished this year . Along with winning the Robin's Award for organization of the year, the hockey squad was also voted the top club team of the year by The Utah Statesman sports staff. A 19-game winning streak and a 3-1 record against archrival Weber State University were two major accomplishments. The squad was winless against the Wildcats a season ago. The icing on the cake this year was the final game against Weber in a 5-2 victory in the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Hockey Association title game . ·one of the best things I will remember from this year is winning the conference championship ." Aggie Clint Stosich said. "After suffering a big loss to Weber State just one wee k earlier, we came back and domi-

nated Weber State in a 5-2 victory.· ·we thumped Weber all season," USU forward Ian Tracy said . "My favorite memory of this season was beating Weber in the championship game and seeing some of their players cry,· said USU goaltender Eric Moldenhauer. Moldenhauer, a freshman this year, said immediately after the RMCHA championship game that winning the title was the best hockey feeling he has ever had. The week after the RMCHA title game, only 2.2 seconds separated the Aggies from appearing in the national semifinals. That was the amount of time left when the eventual national champions, Miami University (Ohio), scored the last goal to keep USU out of the final four . Despite only placing fifth at nationals, the Aggies weren't thoroughly disappointed. Tracy said his team and the rest of the squads in the West demonstrated they are a

Malone doesn't wantto discuss50 pointgame

COMING

TO THEATRES

MAY 5TH

SALTLAKECITY (AP)Karl Malone played the first game of Utah's series against Seattle like he's determined to finally win a championship. But by Sunday. his career playoff high of 50 points was old news where Malone was concerned . When it was mentioned before the Jazz practiced. Malone broke off the interviews. "Last night's over with ," he said. "I just want to look at tomorrow." His teammates didn't wait so long to start looking ahead. After Utah's 104-93 victory

over the Supersonics on Saturday, John Stockton declared Malone's big game irrelevant. "He can't carry over any of it and neither can we," Stockton said. "To put it into perspective is difficult when you don't want to look back. We want to look ahead and see what we can do to win this game Monday." Not surprisingly, the Sonics were ready to look ahead, too. "You have to say. 'OK. you got that one but we'll be ready to go at you tomorrow,"' Seattle coach Paul Westphal

said. "Every game is its own entity." The Sonics spoke of their respect for Malone and the Jazz, but they were upbeat Sunday. After all, the teams split four regular-season games, with each winning once on the other's homecourt "If we can win one here. it can change the outcome of the whole series," Sonics poinr guard Gary Payton said. "We· missed a lot of shots that we usually make. Tomorrow it might be different. We know we can play with this team." ·

Continuedfrom Page9 force to be reckoned with in an East-dominated sport. "This year at nationals the West region had the best showing - all four teams, top to bottom, than it ever has," Tracy said. "I think the West is finally getting the respect it deserves on a national level." Another positive point this season was the sellout crowds, Stosich said. "Obviously a winning season and great fan base make for a great year in any program, and selling out a University of Utah game was quite impressive because that means almost all of the fans at the game were USU fans." he said. Stosich said fans can expect the winning to continue next year. "Aggie hockey will again have a winning season and fans should expect USU hockey to represent USU as it appears in the national tournament for it's sixth straight time ," he said.

However. next year's hockey squad will be slightly different than this year. 'There will be some changes in the lineup," Stosich said. "Nate Anderson and Alan Babicky, aside from an astronomical phenomenon. will not be returning next year. Aaron Matern and goaltender Mike Burgraff will be gone as well. There are a couple of question marks, but most likely everyone e' e will return." A welcome addition, according to Stosich, will be Deryk Anderson. His season was cut short by a torn ACL in November. Anderson has never played a full season in an Aggie uniform but will likely go the duration next year, Stosich said. Anderson contributed 13 points in just 10 games this season. "Club president and general manager Len Bauman and head coach Jerry Crossley have made this program one of the best-run programs in the country," Stosich said. "The fan and university support we have is probably unrivaled in school history for club sports."

Front-line drug warrior calls for peace SYI..VESTER L.SALCIDO/ K11iglit Ridder{fribwze News Service I have served on the front lines of the war on drugs. I am reporting back that it is a failure. Last year I received a Navy achievement medal for my mi litary service in the drug war. Last mo nth I returned th is medal to President Cli nton to protest his proposed $1.7 billion special appropriation for Colombia. Unde r the guise of fighting drugs, this aid package will dramatically escalate U.S. mil itary involvement in Colombia's civil war. Co lombians are exhausted and disp irited after 40 years of civ i l strife. In recent months Colombians by the millions have taken to the streets in huge national marches calling for peace . Representatives of the insurgents and government negotiators haveJ·ust returned from a watershe 25-day tour of Western Europe, where they explored peace. Increased U.S. military aid to Colombia will derail this peace process. More than 80 percent of the funds destined for Colombia will be spent on helicopters and other military aid. These are the wrong

tools to fight a problem that is fundamentally political and economic. Moreover , the Colombian military is profoundly ineffective and tied to right-wing paramilitary forces that are human-rights abusers and drug traffickers. The U.S. aid package is a recipe for more lawlessness and military failure on the battlefield. Our drug-war leaders say their goa l is a "drug-free America." But three decades of the drug war have shown that goal to be unrealistic, so our strategy must be replaced. Pursuing an unrealistic goal has resulted in insufficient funding for effective programs, such as making treatment available on request and providing afterschool programs for our children. At the same time, we waste tax dol lars on ineffective, expensive and dangerous programs such as the massive imprisonment of drug users and the exorbitant military-aid package to Colombia. As a result, today we have more prisoners per capita than any other country, and Colombia receives the most U.S. military aid in this hemisphere . The best way to help Colombia and to help the United States is to reduce the demand for illicit drugs here at home. his conclusion is reinforced by my work as a Spanish teacher in Roxbury, Mass ., a low-income, drug-ridd led section of Boston - where I have seen drug abuse among our kids and witnessed the deleterious effects of ovr domestic drug war. As an alternative to the drug war, I propose a "Plan USA" to provide treatment, on request, for our hard-core drug-addict populat ion that

Canadian school knife attack V\fas planned for Colunibine anniversary TORONTO (AP)- A 15year-old boy accused of stabbing five people at his high school apparently planned the attacks to coincide with the first anniver sary of the massacre in Littleton, Colo., police said Sunday Det. Sgt. Ken Doyle said comments by witnesses and other evidence indicated the attacks Thursday were tied to the anniversary of the April 20. 1999, shootings at Columbine High School. where two students killed 13 people before turning their guns on themselves . - The stabbings Thursday began at about 11:21 a.m. the exact same time of day that the Columbine shootings started . Doyle refused to provide specifics about the evidence . Sgt. Leo Janveau said police had "some evidence of planning" prior to the stabbings ,

which left minor puncture wounds on four students and a lab technician who worked at Cairine Wilson high school in Orleans, a suburb of Ottawa . Some witnesses interviewed by police would be interviewed again because of details they gave to news media that were missing from their police statements, Doyle said. Classmates quoted in newspaper and television reports said the boy, who was not identified. was a loner and was teased about his thick , curly hair and acne . Doyle said none of the people interviewed by police so far had mentioned teas ing. Also, a 16-year-old who described himself as a friend of the suspect told The Ottawa Citizen newspaper that the youth had been counting the days to the

anniversary of the Colorado shootings. The suspect would say: "Seven days to Columbine , 11:21. six days till Columbine, 11:21," the newspaper quoted the boy as saying. According to the newspaper, the witness made the comments about the countdown in a taped statement to police. But Doyle said he did the interview himself and nothing like that was said. "That is certainly not what that particular witness said to police , not as they are stating it." Doyle said. The stabbings took place during lunch break. The injuries were described as minor puncture wounds , and the victims were released from the hospital later that day. The youth also had self-inflicted cuts to his hands and wrists.

He has been charged with one count of attempted murder. five counts of assault with a weapon. one count of mischief and possession of a dangerous weapon. He remained in custody until a Youth Court hearing Wednesday The Columbine shootings are believed to have inspired other school attacks. One came a week later when a student at a Taber, Alberta. high school shot to death one student and wounded another . Several Canadian schools had received threats of violence as the Columbine anniversary approached A 14-year-old boy in Regina, Saskatchewan , was charged Thursday with threatening to set off a bomb in a high school, while other schools reported low attendance on the day of the Columbine anniversary .

The ceremony, normally held in the darkness of St. Peter's Basilica, moved outside for the Holy Year. An estimated 20,000 worshippers gathered before the flowerbanked steps of the basilica, sunset lighting up jet trails in the apricot sky behind the dome on a warm spring evening. "Christ is risen!" John Paul proclaimed to the crowd as darkness settled. "We proclaim this witness to the world. so that the joy which is ours will reach countless other hearts, kindling in them the light that does not disappoint."

> Several tornados strikeShreveport Louisiana SHREVEPORT,La. (AP) - Several tornados toppled trees and utility poles and damaged numerous structures in northwest Louisiana Sunday night, authorities said. Area television stations reported several injuries but none were immediately confirmed by Caddo Parish Sheriff's spokesman Edward Vailes. "There are still a lot of areas we have not checked, but we've got major damage," Vailes said. The storm knocked out power throughout the city, forcing law enforcement agencies to rely on backup power, Vailes said. At least one of the funnel clouds touched down in the heart of the city, ripping up siding, shattering windows and scattering the broken glass.

> 911 callshedslighton trainmurder SINKING SPRING,Pa. (AP)- Friends and family say the final terrifying moments of Candace Wertz's life followed five years of abuse from the boyfriend suspected of using his car to push hers in front of a freight train. "It's so horrible that no one was able to get to her in time to help," said Tammy Wertz, Candace Wertz's sister-in-law. "But something should have been done about this guy a long time ago.. .. She tried to get away from him and she just couldn't." On Saturday, several sources revealed the contents of Wertz's frantic 911 call made before she was struck by the train Thursday night. Carlos Angel Diaz Santiago, 22, was arrested Friday and charged with four counts of murder and aggravated assault. Another dispatcher who heard a tape of the call said Wertz never gave enough detail for police to locate her. The tape of the five-minute conversation reveals the two women in the car were trying to keep their crying children calm. Police believe the crashes heard on the tape are Santiago pushing Wertz's car onto the train track. A scream follows,then the phone went silent.

Dale - who changed his name before the dispute with the scouts - is the younger of two sons of Gerald Dick, a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve. and his wife Doris. As a student at a military high school in New Jersey, "I remember hoping to God that I wouldn't be gay," Dale told The New York Times in 1992. "It wasn't part of my big picture." Rutgers offered Dale a new vista. His friendship with a gay man the summer between his freshman and sophomore years helped him accept his homosexuality. He joined the campus gay and lesbian organization, becoming co-president after three months. It was in that capacity that Dale attended a daylong conference in 1990 on the struggles of lesbian and gay adolescents. A story on the conference in the July 8. 1990, Newark Star-Ledger quoted Dale describing his difficult path toward accepting his homosexuality. The story was not well received at the Monmouth Council of the Boy Scouts, which 16 months earlier had made Dale an assistant scoutmaster of Troop 73 in Matawan. N.J. In a letter dated July 19, council executive James W Kay notified Dale that his registration was revoked. Dale demanded an explanation. Kay responded with a second letter citing "the standards for leadership established by the Boy Scouts of America, which specifically forbid membership to homosexuals."

Activists callfor actionon EarthDay's30thanniversaryOLD FARKSummer TOWNHOUSES shiny government trucks presented a flashier image for electric- or natural-gas powered vehicles. Visitors ambled across the Washington Mall from the Capitol to the Washington Monument in a rock-festival atmosphere, complete with music from David Crosby and others. Politics was on the mind of many speakers. Gaylord Nelson, the former Wisconsin senator widely given credit for starting Earth Day in 1970 who woreone of the few ties at the event, encouraged participants to ask every presidential candidate for an annual state-ofthe-environment speech to keep attention focused yearround . "We've had 30 years of learning, experimenting, rehearsing for the future," he said, "If we don't (address environmental issues), we·ll flounder around for another 30 years." The loudest applause - and squeals - came for Leonardo DiCaprio. star of the movie "Titanic," who acted as host for the afternoon of big-name entertainment and speeches. "AllAmericans can be proud of the tremendous progress we've made since the first Earth Day 30 years ago," said President Clinton, setting the

WASHINGTON (AP)Politicians,celebrities and activists celebrated the 30th anniversary of Earth Day on the National Mall Saturday and issued new calls to combat global warming at the source. President Clinton, speaking on radio, blamed the Republican Congress for failing to recognize what he called the global warming threat and failing to act on legislation promoting_clean and efficient energy. Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic presidential contender, unveiled policy initiatives aimed at curtailing the flow of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These heat-trapping gases, mainly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels, are believed by scientists to be contributing to a risky warming of the earth. Gore proposed tougher requirements for power plants to reduce air pollution, while giving the industry the flexibility to meet the new goals. He called for approaches like emissions trading, which allows coal-burning plants that pollute more to buy credits from cleaner-burning plants until the dirtier plants can meet tougher pollution standards. '"Wehave to stand against apologists for pollution - those

who believe in the old politics of environmental irresponsibility,.. said Gore, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. David Hawkins of Natural Resources Defense Council praised Gore·s proposal for targeting carbon dioxide and mercury, which are not controlled at power plants now. along with trying to reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. Hawkfos Seid he is interested to see how Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush responds. Republican National Committee spokesman Chris Paulitz called Clinton's proposals "small ideas to help the environment" and criticized Gore's book "Earth in the Balance,"which he said highlighted Gore·s "extremist ideas" on the environment that would assure that gas prices would be raised 50 cents and our economy would crumble. The theme of Earth Day 2000 is "Clean Energy Now" and the multimedia stage and nearby exhibit tents were outfitted with an array of high and low technologies which use non-polluting energy sources, including wind, solar, natural gas, biofuels, and propane.

'"Ifwe value our coastlines. or farm lands and our vital biodiversity we must build a national consensus to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases ...," he said. Clinton said he will shortly issue executive orders to: - Require that federal agencies reduce the amount of petroleum their cars, vans and trucks burn by 20 percent over five years. He said this can be done with existing technology, including the wider use of electric-power, natural gas and ethanol as power sources. - Subsidize all or some of the commuting costs of federal workers who use public transportation between home and work by up to $65 a month. The president rapped the Republican Congress for' allegedly denying global warming threat and blocking proposed remedies . "While the science on climate change has grown stronger, and the need for American leadership has grown greater, some in Congress have buried their heads even deeper in the sand," the president said.

W omen taki ng more executive positio ns, but income gap still wide WASHINGTON(AP)The "glass ceiling··that historicallyhas been a barrier to advancement by women in the workplace is showing some cracks. a gradual change backed up by Census Bureau figures. It's not enough to ensure clear upward mobility for women, say analysts and women·s advocacygroups, but noticeable enough to suggest that those comfortable corner officesand plush leather chairs are no longer the sole dominion of men. Accordingto the latest government estimates, there were more than 7.1 million women in full-time executive, administrative, or managerial positions in 1998 - a 29 percent jump from 1993. Approximately9.4 million men had the same kinds of significantjobs, but that represented only a 19 percent increase. "The glass ceiling definitely exists,but at the same time, there are an increasing number of women who are breaking through it:· said Debra Meyerson,a professor of management, science and engineering at Stanford University."It's proof that more women are entering the workforce." Here·s more proof: ln 1998, there were 514,000 more women in executive

positions than in 1997, compared to 392,000 more males in such top-level posts during that same time frame. The broad category of executive,administrative and managerial positions covers jobs from chi~f executives,to mid-leveland lower-level management positions, to women who own their own businesses. Analysts point to a variety of factors, including the growing number of single mothers and two income households in the workforce.Females also make up 51 percent of the overall population. But don't confuse those important gains in upper mobility with reaching the long sought-after goal of pay equality with men, said Wendy Rayner,chief information officer for New Jersey Gov.Christine Whitman and a member of the organization Women Executivesin State Government. While the median income levelfor men and women in executivepositions both rose at the same 20 percent clip in 1998, men made nearly $17,000 more - $51,351, the statistics show. "There's a huge gap in term of funding, salaries and compensation for what we do," Rayner said. "But what we do have is recognition; women are recognizednow

that they can contribute equally at the boardroom, as men. We are recognized for that but we are not finished." But while more women are running their own businesses and own seats on corporate boards, the gains must be viewed with caution. Meyerson said. A study by Catalyst, a women's advocacygroup based in New York,found that women represented 11.9 percent of corporate officers in America's 500 largest companies as of Mar. 31, 1999 a 37 percent increase since 1995. The Catalyst study also showed the number of companies with two or more women officers increased 28 percent, from 220 to 282. Yet,men still hold 93 percent of what's known as "line" officerjobs - high-profile jobs with profit-and-loss responsibility that often lead to the top spots, the same study shows.That means, said Meyerson, that many women who achieve executive or management level are shuffled into ··staff' positions such as human resources or public relations. There are an increasing number of factors in the corporate workplace that may seem neutral, but which turn out to adversely affect women, she said. For instance, Meyerson pointed

out that women who stay late for meetings and fight to "defend their turf· in order to stay ahead are looked at in some companies as "control freaks",while men with the same characteristics are merely considered "passionate." "The exact same behavior was interpreted in different ways,"Meyerson said. "So women managers got bad reputations:· The solution won"tarise until women get more access to the so-called "old-boy"networks,where many informal discussionsand decisions take place, said Linda Stewart, secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, a $2.3 billion agency with 2,200 employees. "J think you have to look at income level clearly,but I think you also need to look at diversity of employment levels,"she added. "That will tell you if there's been a real trend in terms of getting women employed across the board." Still,women are unmistakably making their mark on the workplace in spite of the income disparity,said Marna Whittington, managing director and chief operating officer of the Investment Management Division at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter in Philadelphia.

MOSCOW(AP)- A string of victoriesin parliament has solidified PresidentVladimirPutin·sauthority and appears to be setting the stage for a calmer,more conciliatoryera in Russiaafter the frenziedconfusionof the BorisYeltsinyears. Sincetaking officeas actingpresident in December,Putin has persuaded once-combativelawmakersto do two things they steadfastlyrefused to do under Yeltsin:approvethe STARTJI nuclear disarmamenttreaty and fire Russia'stop prosecutor.Lclwm~ers also approvedthe nuclear test ban treaty on Fridayat Putin'surging. '"Helooks invincible.The president'spowersare alreadygreat, and now it seems the legislativebranch is ready to support him or afraid to oppose him:· said AlexeiChaplygin,an analystwith the Center for CivilSocietyStudies,a Moscowthink tank. "It'svery popular to like Putin now." Some analystssay Putin couldjust be enjoyinga honeymoon after his election by a wide margin last month. He couldface more bruisingdebate, for example,when he finallypresents his plan for the crucialand touchy issueof restoringRussia'seconomy. But overall,observerspredict Putin willprobablyhave little trouble gettingwhat he wants - whateverthat turns out to be. While he talks of stampingout corruption,revivingRussia·sglobal clout and trimming taxes,he is vague about how he would realize those goals. Putin has a key advantagethat his predecessorlacked:majority support in the lowerhouse of parliament, the StMeDuma.The Communistsand their allieswho dominated the Duma for years lost their majorityin Decemberparliamentaryelections,and were replacedby centristswho generallyback Putin. Much of what Putin has done so far is dean up after Yeltsin.It was Yeltsinwho signedSTARTIl in 1993 then foughtwith the Duma for years over ratification,and Yeltsinwho first tried to fire ProsecutorGeneral YuriSkuratova year ago. "Thosewere all Yeltsin'sissues. Does that mean Putin will continue Yeltsin'spolicies?Who knows,"said ViktorKremenyuk, deputy directorof the Institute for USAand Canada Studiesin Moscow. One policyPutin appears determined to pursue is nuclear disarmament. As soon as the Duma ratifiedSTARTII,talks began in Geneva on further cuts of warhead stockpiles. But Putin is treading cautiously.He insistsRussiawillpull out of any arms control pact if Washingtonfollowsthrough on amending the 1972 Anti-Ballistic MissileTreaty to build a limited anti-missile defensesystem. . "Russiawillensure its securityas it sees fit,"said chairman of the Duma's defensecommittee,Andrei Nikolayev.'The ratification of STARTUhas createda unique situation for maneuveringby the Russianpresident,"both at home and abroad. Nationalismmay prove the strongestcommon ground between Putin and parliament.Legislatorsof all politicalstripes embrace Putin'sgoalof restoringRussia'sinternational influence.

NAZRAN , Russia(AP)Russiantroops have finished a two-month operation to clear Chechnya'swar-ravagedcapital of mines, but rebels elsewhere were stepping up attacks on Russian-heldareas, the military said Sunday. Altogether,sappers and special agents discoveredmore than 120,CXX) mines underground or in the rubble of Grozny'sbombed-out buildings, the city'smilitary commandant, Maj.Gen. VasilyPrizemlin,told the !TAR-Tass news agency. After rebels abandoned Grozny in February,the Russiansbarred civiliansfrom parts of the city for fear of mines. It remained unclear what

Russiaplans to do with Grozny. Some officialshave suggested moving the capital to Chechnya'ssecond-largestcity, Gudermes, instead of spending the huge amounts of money needed to rebuild Grozny. Fivemonths of Russianair and artillery strikes left the city a charred shell. Many streets are impassableheaps of tomup asphalt, and the sewageand electricitysystems have been devastated. Many of its remaining residents are survivingon gruel from Russianaid officials. Meanwhile, Russia'stop commander in Chechnya, Gennady Troshev.ruled out peace talks with Chechen President Asian Maskhadov. Maskh<ldov, with whom

Moscownegotiated an end to the 1994-6 Chechnya war, claimed last week that he had ordered a rebel cease-fireand was seeking a peaceful settlement. "We cannot sit at a negotiating table with him .... To sit a negotiating table with bandits would be a betrayal of the army,"the hawkish Troshev insisted on Russia'sNTVtelevision Sunday night. Moscowhas indicated recently it is seeking a political solution to the war,reporting some contacts with Maskhadov through intermediaries. RussianPresident Vladimir Putin has said he would talk with Maskhadov- if he gets the rebels to surrender.

Don't you know that smoking is harmful to the baby? Holy maekeral,that was one big pothole!

Let's have the election today DAVE'S WORLD/ DaveBarry Here's some exciting news for you voters: There are only six or seven more months until the presidential election! That's right! Just a half-year or so of listening to the candi dates accuse each other of being pond scum, and then we get to choose one as our president! Oh, it's going to be a fun campaign. It certainly has been wild and unpredictable so far, hasn't it? I mean, just a year ago, all the socalled "experts" were saying that it was a done deal, that Al Gore and George "W'' Bush were sure to get nominated, just because they had money and the political big shots behind them. But guess what? This is not a brutal dictatorship such as Iraq or your cable company. This is the United States of America, where the PEOPLEdecide. And the 126 people who actually voted in the primaries have decided that the nominees will be: Al Gore and George "W" Bush. Of course both men were challenged in

the primaries. Al Gore was challenged by Bill Bradley, former Knickerbocker and U.S. senator from the state of Suspended Animation. He reportedly had some good ideas; the problem was that, because of his speaking style, nobody heard them. He'd give a speech on health care and the audience would wake up days later, still groggy, saying, "I remember him saying something about pre-existing medical conditions, and then apparently my head struck the floor." Bush's main challenger was Sen. John McCain, who got good coverage from the news media because he invited them to ride on his bus. To a normal, well-adjusted human, a bus ride is not particularly exciting, but it was HUGE to the media, because pretty much everybody hates them, especially politicians, who generally would not invite the media to ride on anything except an inner tube floating just above Niagara Falls. So McCain got excellent press, to the point where some Bush supporters felt that the coverage was slanted, as evidenced by th is frontpage headline from the Feb. 2 issue of The New York Times: McCAIN IS SEEN GAINING ON STUPID But when all was said and done, the winners were Bush and Gore, one of whom will

be our next president, unless - and I would not totally rule this out - the Constitution suddenly is discovered to be missing, and it mysteriously turns up a few days later in the White House living quarters, and, lo and behold , the part that limits the president to two terms is GONE. But probably it'll be Gore or Bush. Perhaps you're asking yourself: Since we have the candidates, why not just hold the election NOW? Why drag it out? Why can 't we be more li ke, say, Great Britain, which somehow is able to elect an entire new government in less time than it takes for our presidential candidates to agree on the lectern heights for a TV debate? The answer is that if we vote now, we will do a great deal of harm to something we Americans call "the democratic process," by which I mean "TV and radio broadcasters." These companies are going to be paid many millions of dollars to air commercials in which the candidates viciously attack each other, day after day, month after month, until nobody wants to vote for either one of them except their immediate pets. This is called "informing the voters." To get you started with this process, here's an analysis of the two candidates' strengths, weaknesses and positions on the issues: AL GORE: His strength is that he has been vice president for eight years, which theoretically gives him a lot of experience.

Unfortunately, he cannot remember ever having participated in any official meetings or discussions or anything else that any current or future special prosecutor may or may not find out about. He is in favor of education , the economy and the Family, and he communicates his views on these topics by speaking in a style identical to that of Mister Rogers reassuring 2-year-olds that they will not be sucked down the bathtub drain. GEORGE "W" BUSH: His strength is that he is the son of former President George Herbert Walker Hoover Franklin Pierce Kennebunkport Bush. His biggest weakness is that he apparently does not speak English, or anything else, as a native language, and thus has trouble when asked trick questions , such as what he thinks. He is also in favor of education, the economy and the Family. Both men are strongly against the use of drugs, at least at this point in their lives. So there you have it, voters!

noticed that when Berzins was fat, "the kids were slouching. They weren't paying attention." But when she was thin. "Everybody was sitting up tall. Their eyes were glued to her." He says he sees this happening all the time in school: Kids don't have much interest in fat people, but if it's a skinny kid they listen up. Only half-joking. Quinn Clark, a seventh-grader in the front row, tells Berzins, "When you were big, I didn't want to touch you." Berzins responds, "Exactly. Not only do people not want to touch you, they don't want to be with you." This is all part of the discrimination that overweight people often face, Berzins says. It's as real and as wrong as discrimination based on race, religion or gender, but it is seldom addressed, she says. Because of these attitudes, Berzins says that when she wears her fat suit, she isn't comfortable with her body image.
