Controversial fight club throws in the towel PROVO,Utah (AP)- The founding members of the Provo Fight Club have called it quits - at least for now and for its current form. Some private fights may still be held. The fighters cited concern about liability. and growing attendance - people that they couldn't and didn't want to be responsible for. "As much as we all love Fight Club, we don't love it that much," said James Anderson. 22, a Utah Valley State College student who was one of the co-founders. "We figure that's a big weight to put on our shoulders for everybody else's entertainment even though it was fun for us, too," cofounder Aaron Christopher, 22, of Provo said Monday. "It's not worth it to have something looming over our head." The Fight Club was an underground boxing group that hosted bouts every Monday night around 10 p.m. A secret location was announced by word of mouth a few hours before the event each week. "It started out as just a little get-together with our friends," Christopher said. "But 400-500 people come, then there's like 300-400 people that you don't even know and you're liable for all of them. really. because it all points back to the organizers of the activity." At the last Fight Club event

on April 17 about 400 people showed up to watch the fights in a warehouse in the outskirts of Pleasant Grove. After witnessing an illegal punch, about a dozen friends on both sides jumped the ropes and started what could have ended up being a 400person brawl. The founders, about a dozen UVSC and BYUstudents, met over the weekend and decided to disband. Anderson said they might have a few fights during the summer, but just in an apartment with only close friends and roommates invited. About half the founders are leaving town for the summer anyway, Anderson said. He said he doesn't know if Fight Club will start back up in the fall. "I'd still love to have it if we could get away from the little problems," said Anderson. who boxed in five of the bouts. "I had a lot of fun." The fights. in which the participants wore no safety helmets and slugged each other with 16-ounce boxing gloves for three 45-second rounds, started about seven weeks ago at Christopher's apartment. The organizers said they had not received any pressure from university officials to stop the fights. They also said they were not violating any laws and police had not threatened them.

Graphic design emphasis full, may turn more than 115 away

JESSICAWARREN

Staff Writer

The exploding market for graphic designers leaves the two full-time professors and three graduate students at Utah State University strapped for time and students fighting for classes and individual attention. USU's graphic design emphasis within the Art department currently has 175 declared majors and an estimated 79 of the 186 undeclared students are enrolled in their classes, according to a memorandum given to Art department head Craig Law from Robert Winward and Alan Hashimoto, the two fulltime professors. This means two professors and three graduate students are trying to teach 254 graphic design students. "There's no way we can adequately address the needs of all of these students," the professors wrote. In the memo. they compared their enrollment to that of Brigham Young University and the University of Utah. BYUadmits 20 graphic design majors per year and has 35 total majors at any given time with three full-time faculty members. according to the memo. The University of Utah admits 30 majors annually with 68 total majors at any given time, also with three full-time faculty members. USU admits all who apply and has 175 declared majors

with two full-time faculty members. •If we can't get some help, we're going to have to tighten up the admittance," Winward said. He said this means they will have to turn away about 115 people wanting to declare graphic design as their major. "We'd have to limit the curriculum," Hashimoto said, which means cutting out things like animation and digital work. Hashimoto and Winward suspect the reason for the high enrollment is because of the industry right now. Hashimoto said there are jobs that didn't exist two or

three years ago. "Allyou have to do is get on the Web," Winward said. Web sites for companies are done by designers, as well as clothing labels, sport logos and anything that is packaged, Winward said. In an article in Time magazine on March 20, Mark Dziersk of the Industrial Designers Society of America said, "When industries are competing at equal price and functionality, design is the only differential that matters." A recent issue of U.S. News and World Report lists the ·21 Hot Job Tracks for the 21st Century," according to

Winward and Hashimoto's memo. Four of those were graphic design oriented: virtual set designer. broadband architect. creative director and Web promotions producer. ·our students can get really great jobs if they work hard," Winward said. A major problem with the program right now is students can't get into classes they need. Dan Paulus, a declared graphic design major with one year left, said he is frustrated with trying to get into the classes he needs to gradu-

During the final Associated Students of Utah State University Executive Council meeting of the year. the new council members conducted their first official business as a group. The first action passed was an endorsement of the recently proposed student classroom civilitycode and approval of a letter to USU Provost G. Jay Gogue stating the council's position on the code. Both the endorsement and the letter passed with a vote of 16 to 1. The civility code would set forth a procedure for dealing with students whose behavior is seen as disruptive in class, ASUSUAcademic Vice President Jim Stephenson said. "This is a student-friendly policy."he said. He said the idea for a civility code started when a student came to Vice President of Student Service Pat Terrell after having been kicked out of a class. The student's grade had suffered because he was kicked out, and he felt the teacher's expectations for classroom behavior weren't dear, Stephenson said. He said the new code would set out a formal set of steps for dealing with disruptions. ASUSUCollege of Agriculture Senator Katie Jo Collett said the new code would not only benefit students but would benefit faculty as well. She said it would help faculty know what steps to go through if they have problems. However, the code as currently written does not solve one problem some council members expressed concern about - the question of just what disruptive behavior is.

In the letter to Gogue, the council recommends instructors list in the course syllabus what would constitute unacceptable behavior. "In order for this policy to distill upon the student body and have the desired, positive effect, it is necessary for the students to know what the instructor considers to be 'disruptive classroom behavior,'" the letter reads. However, some council members wondered whether they should approve the code . before that part is added. ·1 don't think it's a good idea to pass this because students have to know what disruptive behavior is to get kicked out," ASUSUCollege of Natural Resources Senator Sandra Jane Keil said. But Stephenson said the Faculty Senate, which recently voted to endorse the code, left out provisions forlisting behaviors in course syllabi because they felt no professor could list every possible form of bad behavior. However, he said a general list would provide students with an idea of what was acceptable and what wasn't. As an example, Stephenson said some instructors would consider reading a newspaper in class disruptive while others wouldn't care. He said a list of what's unacceptable would give students an idea on which to base their estimation of a teacher's expectations. ·r think teachers have been operating under the premise that they can kick a student out if they wanted to," Stephenson said. "And they can't." The other action the council passed concerned the use of students' social security numbers as their university identification numbers. The council voted unanimously to endorse a letter

from Terrell and Dean of Information and Learning Resources Barbara A. White to USU President George H. Emert recommending the university continue its use of social security numbers. "Although, in principle, we might all agree that (USU)may prefer to use randomly assigned numbers as identifiers in place of social security numbers to provide greater privacy and security of student records, the disadvantages of moving to such a system far outweigh the benefits," the letter reads. Among the benefits of changing to a random system listed in the letter, White and Terrell said use of social security numbers may increase chances of "identity theft." "However,according to nationally syndicated columnist Jane Bryant Quinn ... there is very little that people can do to prevent access to their social security number." according to the letter. On the other hand, the letter lists three disadvantages to changing the identification system. First, reprogramming to accommodate the new system would cause delays and inconveniences for students, according to the letter. ·we anticipate that payments would be delayed, registration processes and transcript access affected," the letter reads. Second, a new system would impact current software settings, according to the letter. Finally, the letter says a change would represent a costly endeavor. ·we estimate. at minimum, that the cost of this change would total about $202,600 whichdoes not include all staff time necessary to implement that changes across our integrated system," the letter reads.

Youth fight at zoo ends in gunfire WASHINGTON (AP)- A feud between youths at the National Zoo ended in a hail of gunfire Monday evening, leaving one boy brain dead and wounding five other children at one of the capital's most popular tourist sites, police officials said. Police were investigating whether the shooting was gang related and sought at least one teen-age gunman who fired a handgun into groups of youths after a confrontation escalated to bottle throwing and then shots, according to authorities and witnesses. The victims ranged in age

from 11 to 16 and were attending a century-old post-Easter gathering at the zoo celebrating AfricanAmerican families. A high-ranking police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said a boy, either 11 or 12 years old, was shot in the head and declared brain dead at a hospital. The boy was being kept alive by machines to allow his family to donate his organs, the official said. Officials at Children's Hospital National Medical Center, where the boy was being treated, would only say the boy remained in

very critical condition. A 12-year-old girl was in serious condition with a wound to the pelvis. a 14year-old boy was in serious condition with a leg wound. and three other youths were hospitalized with less serious injuries, according to officials at the hospitals where they were treated. Hours later, police still circled the zoo in helicopters. "We are looking into the possibility that it is gang-related , but we are not certain ," Police Chief Charles Ramsey said. The zoo, a unit of the Smithsonian Institution. is one of the most visited sites

WorldGLANcE > Foreign soldierasksforpresidential pardon CARCELLA ESPERANZA,El Salvador (AP)- One of two former soldiers imprisoned for the rape and murder of four U.S. religious workers said Tuesday that he has asked for a presidential pardon. Francisco Contreras also reiterated the soldiers' previous defense that they were only acting on orders. and he asked the victims· families for forgiveness. "It wasn't the group's decision, it was an order . We opposed the crime ," Contreras said in an interview with The Associated Press. He said he did not know exactly where the order came from, however. Contreras is one of five ex-national guardsmen sentenced in 1984 to 30 years in prison for the rape and murder of U.S. nuns Ita Ford. Maura Clarke , and Dorothy Kazel, and social worker Jean Donovan in December 1980. Three of the soldiers were freed in 1998 under a law that shortened most prison sentences in the country to relieve prison crowding. Contreras and a fifth soldier. Carlos Palacios, asked congress on March 2 for a similar amnesty . but prosecutors say they are ineligible for early release because they allegedly participated in jail uprisings. In a plea for compassion. San Salvador Archbishop Fernando Saenz asked the government Sunday to pardon Contreras and Palacios. Contreras said he sent a letter six months ago to President Francisco Flores asking for a pardon, but that he hasn't received any response . Of the victims· families. he said this : "I'd like to ask them their pardon and I want them to know, that it wasn't our fault." The families of the victims said they believe the women were targeted because officials suspected they sympathized with leftist guerrillas during the war. A 1993 United Nations Truth Commission report concluded that one of the guardsmen. Subsergeant Luis Antonio Colindres Aleman, "obeyed the orders from his superiors to execute" the women.

>WheatonCollege looking fora nicermascot WHEATON. Ill. (AP) - Wheaton College wants to trade in its Crusaders for a kinder, gentler mascot. School president Duane Litfin recently decided to dump the Crusaders name. He says a mascot associated with the 11th century campaign by Christians to reclaim the Holy Land from the Muslims doesn't promote a good image of the private, interdenominational Christian school. "As a Christian institution we are doing what we think Js best as a matter of principle," Litfin said. Litfin said his decision was prompted in part by an article in the school newspaper two years ago that raised questions about the morality of using a Crusader mascot. which was created in 1927. For two years he studied the Crusades. "I came to realize that those were not very happy episodes in Christianity, " he said. Litfin announced his decision in an open letter to the school newspaper . Officials are taking suggestions and will announce the new mascot in September.

Filling out Censusforms could briny big bucks to Logan

> Cityrefiles charges against speed trapwarner

lARAGALE Staff Writer Utah State University students might be worth nearly $1 million to the City of Logan. If the USU student population tops off Logan's population at 50,000 or more, the city can expect around $900,000 from a Federal Community Development Block Grant as well as other government funding for police, fire departments and building roads. "Imagine almost anything the government does, and this will help get the grant," City of Logan Mayor Doug Thompson said. More in the interest of students, a larger population count also means attracting popular retail chains like Old Navy, Gap and Target to the city. "It's very important to us," said Marilyn McCullough, assistant manager of field operations for the Northern Utah Census. "In 1990 they were undercounted quite a bit. and it makes a big difference. We don't want that to happen again." To make sure every student is counted this year, McCullough said college campuses have been designated ·special places." "That's a term that we use for non-traditional housing," she said. ·rt requires the most responses in the least amount of time." Census workers have made an extra effort on campus this year, offering tokens for free Aggie ice cream as an incentive to turn in Census forms earlier this month, and sending a team of enumerators out early for information on households that failed to turn them in.

USU students and localcommunity mmzbershit the pavementsin searchof peoplewho haven't sent in their Census 2000form.

The office keeps a roster of people who have turned in the census - everyone else can expect a visit. A group of 18 Census employees, made up of community members and students from USU, began last Monday to visit student residences that didn't turn in forms. They're currently working through Aggie Village and the trailer park, and will move Saturday to off-campus housing in the area. McCullough said the campus residence halls have been almost completely accounted for. When all the information comes in, the count will be compared against a student count given to the Census by USU officials. The Census can't use the school's numbers, but will use the information to check accuracy. "We're pleased with the colleges," Richard Griego, office manager for the Northern Utah Census office, said, referring to

both USU and Weber State College. ·1 wouldn't say we'll get 100 percent, but it's better than it was in 1990." Enumerators started contacting students early because of the special places consideration, but to get an exact figure for Logan's population is going to require a door-to-door count throughout the entire city. "It's not just students," Thompson said. "Alot of people feel like they don't want to fill out the Census." Griego said the effort will be extensive, but that's why Cache Valley citizens are joining more than half a million temporary workers nationwide to knock on doors and make telephone calls to people who haven't been counted. The group of enumerators for the southern end of Cache Valley, including some USU students, attended the first in a series of

five training sessions Monday night, learning some of the basics of interviewing and filling out forms for the Census. They'll finish training this week and can be expected at the doors of households that didn't turn in their Census form beginning Saturday or Monday. "It's going to be fairly extensivc," L. riego said. The enumerators will work un ii July, according to a Bureau of the Census press release, returnirg to homes with no answer up to three times before resorting to information from neighbors or relatives. Not counting students, censuses of Logan's population have varied around 42,000, Thompson said. ls he sure the student population is large enough to bump Logan into the 50,000 club? "We're not sure, but we hope," he said.

Jail overcrowded, inm~te.~ shipped t? Box Elder 81LLIEftrAo

Staff Writer

Accordingto a statement from Sheriff Lynn Nelson, the Cache County Jail has run out of room for inmates. ·our inmate housing situation is at a crisis level,"he said. An April 19 press release from the Sheriff's Office said the number of inmates in the Cache County Jail is continuing to rise and there is nowhere to house them. C:ache County has been using the jail in Box Elder County, but that jail has 1

also run out of room. Now, the effort to house inmates has been expanded to the jail in Davis County. Lieutenant Von Williams said it costs between $35 and $45 to house inmates in other jails. The Cache County jail currently has relocated 23 inmates because additional beds are not available. Accordingto the release, Cache County has a limited amount of funds allotted to the transport of inmates, and if the number of inmates remains steady throughout the year, the money will run out in October.

WiUfams said he believes the money will run out before October since the number of inmates keeps growing. ·rfully expect we probably don't have enough money budgeted for the use of other facilities,"Williams said. The situation looks bleak, Williams said. There is a potential to move some inmates to the facility that is being built in Weber County, but the building will not be finished until May or June and the problem requires immediate attention, he said. He said there is also the possi-

bility o( moving the inmates to other areas, but other jails are too far away and would require too much traveling. He said it is likely Cache County will be granted more money from the City Council. but this money has already been set aside for other projects. In fact, part of this money is eventually going to be used to build another jail in Logan, he said. If these funds need to be used for inmates in other areas, there will never be enough money to build a larger jail in this area, he said.

On the Web site for renters' rights, www.union.utah.edu/ rentbook.htm, it emphasizes that ·you have the right to remain in the place you rent until you are legally evicted by a court order. "Landlords do not have the right to lock you out or take your property. Only a sheriff or constable following a court order can evict you," according to the site. The eviction process requires a notice, which can be for reasons such as non-payment , being a nuisance and failure to leave at the end of a lease to name a few. Once received in a valid manner, the tenant must reply in the

specified time period. The second step is the summons and complaint. These are court papers, which if replied to by the specified time give the tenant the right to a trial. Then there is the court judgment. If the judgment is in favor of the landlord, then ~here is an order of restitution. Students can request a hearing if they dispute the terms, but if they don't leave within the specified time, the sheriff can move the student if requested by the landlord. Any property not moved will be taken by the landlord leaving the tenant 30 days to recover property before it is sold to recover moving and damage costs. Any leftover money can be returned to the tenant if they know where to find them. Proper procedures, said Kneeland, are important for renters to know so they can be sure to be treated fairly and legally. Kneeland and the rest of her group was surprised that many students didn't know their rights as renters.

ging for designers; they have positions to fill and not enough people to fill them. "I think the institution isn't keeping up with new trends," Hashimoto said. In their memorandum they proposed four ways for improving the program : First. reducing the ratio of students to faculty; second, adding faculty; third, dedicating capital equipment funds, which is adding new technology in order to stay competitive and fourth, recruiting more, and higher quality, graduate

students . Currently USU cannot offer tuition waivers to graduate students who teach, whereas the University of Utah can, Hashimoto said. This makes it hard for USU to compete. "It all goes back to the personal attention," Paulus said. With the strain on the faculty's time, office hours are reduced, as is availability and the ability to give personal attention and feedback on student projects is reduced. "It's just not where it should be," Paulus said.

OGDEN (AP)- City officialsare asking a judge to reverse the dismissal of charges against a lawyer who tried to warn motorists of a speed trap. In February, 2nd District Judge Michael Glasmann threw out charges of obstruction of justice, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest against Alan Dayton. Dayton was charged after scuffling with Ogden police Aug. 28 after he refused their command to put down a warning sign he was holding up at a speed trap. Glasmann cited free speech guarantees and the fact prosecutors did not prove motorists were driving faster than the speed limit when they saw Dayton's warning. The disorderly conduct charge stemmed from Dayton's refusing police orders to stop committing an obstruction of justice, the judge said. But because there was no obstruction of justice, there was no disorderly conduct and in turn, no resisting arrest. Glasmann ruled.

> Schools should beopen during Olympics, group says SALTLAKECITY (AP) - A group of advocates for the poor contends Salt Lake City public schools should remain in session during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. They, along with Mayor Rocky Anderson, contend most parents cannot afford day care or to take time off during the nine days school would be out. The Humanitarian Services Committee is urging the school board to keep schools open. The committee, a division of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, represents nonprofit agencies that serve low-income and homeless Utahns. SLOC has offered no opinion on what school districts should do. "We're having a lot of trouble understanding why they're even considering this, closing the schools," said Linda Hilton, chair of the Humanitarian Services Committee. l"We are very concerned (that) a lot of parents, not because they choose to but because they're forced to, are going to be leaving kids by themselves." Anderson agreed and said Monday that the school board shouldn 't let the Olympics dictate the school year. "It's really overdoing it to say, 'Because we got the Olympics we're going to throw everybody's lives into unnecessary chaos,"' Anderson said. A break during the Olympics "would be very disruptive to the educational process itself and it would make things extremely difficult for working parents," he said. The Salt Lake City District is one of the last districts along the Wasatch Front to decide what to do during the Olympics.

He claims to be just like any other student. He recently moved into the spacious office on the Taggart Student Center third floor, so recently in fact. that he doesn't even have a key yet. He makes visitors sit in "the chair" while he sits without the protection of a desk. He looks people in the eye. He is confident. well dressed, and friendly. And he claims he will answer any question put to him. Well, almost any. He is the new student body president. He didn't take office by virtue of a vote. No one ran against him. He won by default, so whether students wanted him or not, they got him. But he claims to be ambitious. He says he has plans to better the school and is not afraid to get to work. Ben Riley is the new Associated Students of Utah State University president and he keeps saying he wants to be just like any other student. ·1 hope to be a people's

This way students will know which legislator to go to with concerns or opinions, he said, and this will help to keep legislators accountable to the studentbody.

Team play translates to rings

Season still holds purpose for USU

flNAUNE/ Wade Denniston Everyone knows there's no "I" in team. There's no "I" in Gary Payton, either. However, there is an 11 111 in win, and that's what the Utah Jazz have been able to do over the Seattle Sonics in the teams' first two games at the Delta Center in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Why? There are probably many reasons, but we're just going to talk about one: the team game . Those who know me (or at least Iike to pretend they do) know that I am an avid Seattle fan, especially of the Glove. But as good as he is, Payton, who is without a doubt the best al 1arou nd point guard in the Association, can't do it all on his own. At times this season, as well as in year's past, No. 20 has seemingly taken the game into his own hands. Take, for example, the game on April 18 between Seattle and Sacramento at Arco Arena. Each team desperately needed a win in order to avoid facing the Los Angeles Lakers in a first-round playoff matchup, and thanks to the play of Payton, the Sonics pulled out a gut-wrenching overtime victory, 119-112. All the 6-foot-4, 190-pound P ti as pl.tyall 53 minutes ana record a triple double (33 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds). In addition to that, the Oregon State University alum added three steals and a block while turning over the ball just once. But, the playoffs are a different story. Once again Payton played every minute in the first playoff game with the Jazz on Saturday, holding up his end of the bilrgain with 24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, but where were Vin Baker and Horace Grant? Vinny B came off the bench to shoot a dismal 4-for-18 (10 points), while pulling down nine boards in 33 minutes of action. But Grant was to worry about his offensive game _as he was trying to contain Karl Malone and his SO-point performance. The Mailman, unlike Payton, had help from the rest of his mates. Sure, Shammond Williams stepped up with a 23 -point night, but most of that came in the first half. Both John Stockton and Jeff Hornacek hit the double -digit mark in assists with 10 and 11 respectively. Greg Ostertag came off the bench, blocked five shots and grabbed 10 rebounds. And it was the same story in the second game on Monday, too. Payton shot 8-for-12 (20 points), but got absolutely no help from his two big men as Grant and Baker combined for 10 points. - -Malone was atTtagain -;;th-; 10-for-13 night from the field for 23 points, and Stockton dropped in 21, Bryon Russell 19 and Howard Eisley 15. Although I hate to admit it, if Utah can keep up this type of play, it has a legitimate shot of knocking off the competition and making the NBA Finals again. Sure, the Jazz will more than likely have to get by the Lakers, but that will definitely be a tall order to fill. Seattle on the other hand can only go as far as the Glove will take it, which won't be very far if he doesn't get help soon. Like the Mailman, Horny and Stockton, Payton deserves a championship (and a ring for that matter), but unfortunately won't get it until he gets more help, or is forced to leave Seatown.

Although the Aggies have been officially eliminated from the NCAA tournament, there is still a lot to play for. After Thursday's game against Colorado State University, the Aggies will finish out their final nine Big West Conference games against some of the top teams in the conference . "We're playing the role of spoiler," head coach Pam McCreesh said. ·we have a chance to move up. We still have a shot of being fourth or fifth ." Utah State University (17-30 overall and 5-10 BWC) need to have a winning overall record to qualify for the NCAA tournament, but with only 10 games remaining, the Aggies

would come up three games short. However, USU could move up as they are only 3.5 games behind fourth-place University of the Pacific. The Aggies are currently in seventh place after being picked last in the BWC coaches· preseason poll. ·we ignore it," McCreesh said. The road will be an uphill climb as USU has the confer ence 's second and third place teams still to contend with in addition to the University of California at Santa Barbara (6-6). "We're going to play our best ball," McCreesh said. But first things first. The Aggies have to contend with Colorado State Thursday in one game that starts at 1 p.m. at LaRee and LeGrand Johnson Field. The Rams had originally scheduled a doubleheader with

USU, but canceled the late game to rest for games against the University of Utah and Brigham Young University. McCreesh doesn't know what CSU (15-24) will do, but she knows what her team needs to do . USU needs to get their bats going again - the team recorded a lone run in the three-game series against Long Beach State Un iversity. The good news is the Aggies only allowed seven runs. "It's hard to win without hits," McCreesh said. "(But) I thought we played well defensively." McCreesh doesn 't know who will s art at pitcher for Thursday's game. but narrowed the choices down to either Kristin Hommel (9-13 with an 3.28 ERA) or Xochitl Ramirez (4-6

with an 4.35 ERA). The Rams will likely counter with Kyla Kiester (10-12 with an 2.54 ERA). On Saturday, USU will go up against California State University at Fullerton on Johnson Field for a doubleheader Saturday at 1 p.m . and one game Sunday at 1 p.m.

Assistant Sports Editor

As. the Utah State University women's soccer team has steadily improved in its four years of existence, junior forward Jayme Gordy has become the cog in the team's wheels. Gordy helped lead her team from a 4-13 record her freshman year to a program-best 8-9 record in 1999. For this, Gordy was named this year·s Female Athlete of the Year by the Utah Statesman sports staff. Gordy holds most of the school's scoring records, including career goals scored (30) and career points (66). In 1996, USU finished 10th place in the Big West Conference. Since Gordy joined the team, the Aggies have placed eighth. sixth and this year finished fourth. Freshman Brigid Turner caught up with Gordy this year, scoring 12 goals , one better than Gordy"s 11.

That's not a major concern for the Public Relations major from Cheyenne, Wyo., however. Although it is a personal goal to try to lead the team in scoring, the improvement of the program is mor e important , she said . And Gordy has been a leader at forward position as she has played it her entire soccer career - a career that goes back to the age of four. She said she has enjoyed seeing the program grow over the years. Her most memorable game from last season is when the Aggies defeated California Polytechnic State University 3-2. "They were No. 1 in the conference," Gordy said . "It was big for our program. We beat a team we weren't supposed to beat." She is confident of the future of the team. Their goal is to win the Big

GORDY ContinuedfromPage8 West. She said that goal isn't unrealistic. Most of USU's key players will return and the Aggies have another strong freshman class , giving them added depth. "That's something we never had," Gordy said . In addition, veteran players will have a tighter hold on the team's system. It takes a while for players to know what their individual responsibilities are and to get used to them , she said. And many players will get

Heatis on as Miami edges DetroitbehindMashburn's last-second heroics MIAMI(AP) - Even with Grant Hill sidelined by an injury, the Miami Heat needed Jamal Mashburn's last-second heroics to beat the Detroit Pistons. After the Heat blew a sixpoint lead in the final 2:08, Mashburn made an eight footer with six seconds remaining, and Miami won 84-82 Tuesday night to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series. Game 3 is Saturday in Detroit. Detroit's final chance ended when Jerry Stackhouse slipped driving to the basket and lost the ball, which Miami's Dan Majerle recovered as time expired . Hill started but played less than four minutes in the sec ond half because of a bone bruise in his left foot that has bothered him since late in

the regular season . He scored nine points in 21 minutes. All five Heat starters scored in double figures to overcome Tim Hardaway 's absence and foul trouble that hampered Mashburn , Alonzo Mourning and P.J. Brown. Mashburn had 24 points and Mourning 22. Rookie Anthony Carter. again coolly filling in for Hardaway , had 10 points and 13 assists . a Heat franchise playoff record. Hardaway missed his second game in a row because of a sore left foot. Stackhouse led Detroit with 26 points . About 125 people demonstrated near the arena before the game to protest the Elian Gonzalez case, but despite a general strike called by Cuban Americans , there were few no -shows in the announced crowd of 16,500.

NEW YORK (AP)-The NBA'splayoff schedule splits first-round games so far apart that teams could forget whom they're playing, and David Stern isn't coy about the reasons: TV and money. Which raises the question: Who's running the show - the NBA or the networks? Players and coaches certainly know they aren't in charge. Fans can be sure they're not, although the party line from the league and those broadcasting the playoffs - NBC and Turner - is that the calendar craziness is aimed at getting all of the games aired nationally without overlaps. It's a tradeoff, certainly, but one that diminishes the intensity and compactness of the playoffs. As it is. the postseason is like a second regular season in that more than half of the NBA's teams qualify. Now, the number of days it could take to complete the playoffs really makes for a second season. The eight first-round series could last up to two weeks. Instead of one or two days between games - the type of break that doesn't allow much for momentum to ebb or game-plans to be completely overhauled there are series with gaps as long as four days. "Those who criticize us for scheduling games with one day rest are concerned that three days are too much," Stern, the NBA commissioner, said. "That's very much done with television in mind." When the Utah Jazz and fans have to wait from Monday to Saturday to see if the team can close out its first-round series against the Seattle Supersonics, it could affect just how "must-see" such TV programming really is. "It's a long time to stew over this ," Seattle coach Paul Westphal said. "When you have a bad game, you want to get right back at it. You don't want to sit and read about it for five days," The Los Angeles Lakers could wind up playing for 60 days - April 23 through June 21 - in trying for their first title since 1988. "It's a stretch," Stern acknowledged Monday after a seminar on "The Commissioners' Perspective" at New York's Museum of Television and Radio, "but it's done to get more of our games on NBC. It also was done so we could earn more money - in case there were any doubts about that." NBC. in the second year of a $1. 75 billion four-year rights contract, saw its NBA ratings drop 21 percent from a year ago during the regular season (frOIJla 4.3 average to 3.4). T1-network lam.,..~~~"'!"119 of M,idiael Jordan and w o b~e to showthe Airapparent Vince Carter on higher-audience Sundays as many times as possible. "NBA players fall into a rhythm during the season. Usually you play a game and you're off a day, or you play back-to-back games. When you have two days off, you lose your edge," said Brendan Malone, an assistant coach with the New York Knicks, who are facing Carter's Toronto Raptors in the first round. The silver lining is that older players, like New York's Patrick Ewing, get more time to rest. Turner Sports' TNT and TBS last year showed playoff double-headers that competed against each other somewhat, with tipoff times staggered by only an hour. The longer

first-round schedule allows Turner Sports paying the NBA $890 million over four years - to put games on TBS on Monday nights and on TNT other weekdays without going head-to-head. "There may be some concern of lack of continuity but I like to position it as anxious anticipation on the part of fans," Turner Sports president Mark Lazarus said. "This gives the fans the best opportunity to watch every playoff game in its entirety." That "give-the-fans-as-much-as-possible" mantra runs counter to plans for fewer games on NBC next season, eliminating some Saturday prime time broadcasts. "We knew we were going to take a pretty big (ratings) hit this year ... because we put an enormous amount of games on Saturday night. You can't put more games on and not expect a ratings adjustment," Stern said. "We're encouraging NBC to put fewer games on Saturday nights." That's one strategy to try to boost the declining ratings. Another was the league's illfated attempt to have coaches wear microphones during games. Coaches balked and the NBA levied - then rescinded - $100,000 fines. It was a PR nightmare, and Stern admitted as much. Now he's hoping that letting TV concerns dictate scheduling pans out. "The critical issue is whether NBC can point to increased ratings because of the scheduling change. If they do, this schedule will continue," said Neal Pilson, the former president of CBS Sports who runs his own consulting firm. "There's been a long pattern of cooperation between NBC and the NBA, and this is another example of the league and the network trying to maximize television ratings because that's a very critical measuring rod of the success of the league The ratings have been down and the NBA has been defensive this year because of that." Through the first three days of the playoffs, ratings were not significantly different from a year ago. National cable ratings dipped 2.5 percent for the two Turner networks. On NBC, the combined overnight rating measuring about 63 percent of the country of 5.3 for its triple-headers on Saturday and Sunday was the same as 1999. Saturday night's prime-time game, Seattle at Utah, did drop 13 percent nationally, though, from the Sacramento-Utah 30-point blowout in the same slot a year ago. PLAYQfFWATCHING:Viewers didn't get to hear much of what Utah's Karl Malone thought about his playoff-high SO-point performance in Saturday's series-opening victory over Seattle. In the middle of his answer to reporter-rooter Ahmad Rashad's question. NBC cut to its show "The Pretender." NBC righted itself, going to back to Malone for the last few words of the interview, before awkwardly switching back to the drama. STERNCRITIQUE: "I think they need a director or a producer to tell them to get on with the evening's report after the first funny one-liner, or even the second or the third or the fourth .... When it becomes all about the next wisecrack, I just think it cheapens the game." - Stern on "SportsCenter" anchors at ESPN. a network that does not have a direct deal with the NBA.

Florida third baseman Mike Lowell,pitchers Alex Fernandez and Vladimir Nunez - all of Cuban descent - decided to sit out. Dominican teammates Antonio Alfonseca, Jesus Sanchez and Danny Bautista joined them in a show of support. "There aren't many more important things in my life than this game tonight. but this is one of them,'' Florida manager John Boles said. 'Tm not saying what's right and wrong. The organization is not making a value judgment. The organization is merely being sensitive to its employees. "If I didn't have to be here, I wouldn't. I've got a lot of Cuban friends and I know how deeply they feel about this." Marlins general manager Dave Dombrowski said any of the club's front-office personnel, players and coaches wanting to support the protest would be excused with pay for the~ In addition to the players, third base coach Fredi Gonzalez, infield coach Tony Taylor, bullpen catcher Luis Perez and assistant equipment manager Javier Castro accepted the offer. So did CubanAmerican Hall of Farner Tony Perez, an assistant to Dombrowski. After hearing what the Marlins were doing, Giants manager Dusty Baker called right-hander Livan Hernandez, catcher Bobby

Estalella and administrative coach Carlos Alfonso, advising the three Cuban-Americans to take the day off. They obliged. "You're talking about life and death situations that supersedes baseball," Baker said. "A lot of us don't know the situation unless you live in Miami or you're from Miami. It's sad that politics have to go into baseball, but baseball is part of the world." Fernandez, Nunez, Sanchez, Alfonseca and Hernandez all were not scheduled to play Tuesday regardless of the work stoppage because it was not their turn to pitch. Baker said he wasn't concerned as much for the players as he was for their family members, many of whom live in South Florida throughout the year. That seemed to be the same sentiment in New York. where Ordonez and third base coach Cookie Rojas sat out Tuesday's game against Cincinnati. Ordonez and Rojas arrived at Shea Stadium about 3• hours before gametime, met with general manager Steve Phillips and Bobby Valentine and left the park shortly thereafter. The Mets backed the decision, and Phillips said both team members would be paid. "Baseball should not be a political forum, but they felt they needed to support the community in which they live, and I support their decision," Phillips said.

undeniable and uncontestable." For young people, music is an even more powerful influence than television. A November 1999 Kaiser Family Foundation study documented that while television decreases as a proportion of media consumption from early childhood to the teen years, audio media (that is, music) doubles. A 1999 report from the Office of National Drug Control Policy revealed that teen-agers "name music listening as their most preferred nonschool activity." They often do so for a reason. Two prominent researchers in this field found that "one of the most important reasons cited by adolescents for seeking exposure to popular music is to learn about their social world." What do they learn? Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold learned, in the Iyrics of shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, to "hate every motherf - - - that's in your way" and that the " next mother gonna get my metal."They learned: "I've looked ahead and saw a world that 's dead, I guess I am too." They learned: " I'm dying, I hope you ' re dying too." Using the single most powerful medium in youth culture, Manson and other musicians often deliver a message

of despair, anger and violent revenge. Harris and Klebold acted out the message they consumed. So did Kip Kinkel in Springfield, Ore., and Andrew Wurst in Edinboro, Pa., Luke Woodham in Pearl, Miss., and many others. They al I consumed the same message, even the same artist , and they al I acted it out with deadly consequences. The music industry says that music does not affect anyone. Imagine telling the Three Tenors, or those who wrote the old Negro spirituals, or those who hoped to end the Vietnam war , or anyone witnessing the mayhem at Woodstock '99, or anyone in an aerob ics class that music does not affect anyone . If music does not affect anyone, hordes of teens would not run screaming to buy the latest Backstreet Boys album the day it is released, hospitals would not use music to enhance the healing process, . the profession of music therapy would not exist, listening to music would not be the most popular way to relieve stress in the entire world, groups such as Rage Against the Machine would not use music to promote a political agenda, and the musiqjp_dustry would not make so much money. Others say that many consumers of violence are not violent. But many are. Many smokers do not get cancer either. But many do . (By the way, cigarette companies once claimed their product

d id not affect anyone sound familiar? )Yet the evidence is overwhelming. Unfortunately, the more negative or destructive the theme, the more its consumers I isten, know the words , find the words important and agree with the message. Nearly 15 years ago, a study found evidence for "the potentially powerful influence of popular music ... on young people, especially with regard to attitudes toward violence and premarita l sex." Music with negat ive or destructive themes significantly influences the formation of values and worldview among children, corre lates with family problems and poor academic performance , and its consumers are more approving of antisocial behavior and attitudes. A New York University lyrics professor once wrote that popu lar music provides "the primary 'equipment for living' for America ' s youth." They know the equipment they receive often makes living difficult. More teen-agers than adults believe that popular music encourages ant isocial behav ior. A 1999 survey found that two-thirds of America ' s teens believe that violence in television and music " is partly responsible for crimes like the Littleton shootings. " What we consume affects what we do.

GENEVA (AP)-The top U.N. human rights body accused Russia of widespread violations in Chechnya in a sudden and unexpected show of decisiveness Tuesday. The resolution, sponsored by the European Union, attacked "disproportionate and indiscriminate use of Russian military force, including attacks against civilians." It also expressed concern at "serious crimes and abuses" committed by Chechen forces . The 53-nation Human Rights Commission called on the Russian government to establish a commission of inquiry and asked a series of U.N. human rights experts to undertake missions to Chechnya . But it stopped short of demands by human rights organizations that the world body set up its own probe. The resolution was approved by a vote of 25 to 7 with 19 abstentions. Joining Russia in voting against the resolution were China, Cuba, the Republic of Congo, Ihdia, Madagascar and Sri Lanka. The criticism of a perma-

nent member of the U.N. Security Council was an unusual move for the commission. which last week failed even to vote on a motion attacking China's human rights record. The vote came after negotiations between the EU and the Russian delegation failed to come up with an agreed statement. It took U.N. officials by surprise. They had expected the debate to be adjourned until Wednesday to allow discussions to continue. "Unfortunately the Russian Federation was not in a position to accept the minimum that this commission must ask for when seriously addressing human rights and international humanitarian law in Chechnya," said Portuguese Ambassador Alvaro de Mendonca e Moura, speaking for the EU. Russia sent troops into Chechnya for a second time last September after militants based in the territory invaded the neighboring region of Dagestan. Chechens also are blamed for four apartment bombings in Russia in September that

killed 300 people. The United States and the EU have been sharply critical of what they call excessive use of force by Russian troops, widespread civilian suffering , and reports of human rights abuses in the campaign against Chechen separatists. Russian Ambassador Vasily Sidorov said the resolution failed to take account of the serious danger to human rights posed by terrorists in Chechnya. He said it showed "absolutely no understanding of what human rights means." "Armed bandits have unleashed a war against the whole peaceful population of Chechnya," Sidorov said. In Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright welcomed the decision and criticized Russia for blocking a unified commission stand on Chechnya . spokesman James P. Rubin said. Rubin said Chechnya is on the agenda for talks Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov is having in Washington with President Clinton and Albright.

for antitrust violations are considering

askinga judge to break up the company

as a way to curb anticompetitive practices. One reported option would be to split the company into two or three parts, each selling separate products. Another alternative would be for Microsoft to divest its dominant Office software suite, which includes word processing, database and spreadsheet programs and controls more than 90 percent of the market. Microsoft has said it would fight any move to break up the 25-year-old company. Gates said the next generation of Windows, which will help power various consumer electronics devices as well as personal computers, depends on the interaction between his company's divisions. "We need to have our research people, our Office people, our Windows people all in one group taking breathtaking risks" on the next-generation project, Gates said. The government's proposed remedies are due to be filed in court by Friday. Microsoft is then due to respond by May 10, but company officials have said they may ask for more time, especially if the government's proposal includes a breakup plan.

O'Connor noted that the procedure Stenberg said was the target of Nebraska's ban "may be very similar to" a type of abortion used far more often. Partial-birth abortion is not a medical term. Doctors call the method dilation and extraction, or D&X,because it involves partially extracting a fetus, legs first, from the uterus into the birth canal. where the skull is cut and its contents drained. A more common procedure is dilation and evacuation, or D&E,in which an arm or leg of a live fetus may be pulled into the birth canal during the abortion operation. Calling both methods "gruesome,' O'Connor asked Stenberg, "Do you ake the position that the state of Nebra!ka could also prohibit D&!Eabor.tions for pre-viability pregnancies?" . When Stenberg said he did not hke that position "for purposes of this qise," O'Connor shot back, "It is difficult :o . read the statute and think that is so." Justices David H. Souter, John Prul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer seemed to doub; the Nebraska law's constitutionality.

kidnappers turned around, the American couple ran into the bushes and hid until dawn. The Murphys arrived in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, Monday night. James Murphy said Tuesday they didn't want to talk extensively about the ordeal for fear that it would endanger the other hostages. "We don't want our comments to overshadow anything that's going on with the situation," he told The Associated Press. The hostages forced onto the fishing boats included two French tourists, three Germans. two South Africans, two Finns and one Lebanese, as well as a Filipino worker and nine Malaysians, authorities said. In Basilan, Philippines, Philippine troops shelled rebel camps again

Tuesday as soldiers battled their way up a mountain where Abu Sayyaf rebels were holding 27 Filipinos captive. The rebels have demanded the freedom of three Arab terrorist suspects in U.S. jails, including Ramzi Yousef, mastermind of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York, and Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, accused of conspiring to blow up New York City landmarks. Philippine Defense Secretary Orlando Mercado said the military is still determining whether the Abu Sayyaf, which is fighting for an independent Islamic state in the predominantly Catholic Philippines, is actually responsible for the Malaysian abductions. Basilan is about 275 miles northeast of Semporna, the port from which tourists take boats for Sipadan. Since 1969, Malaysia and Indonesia have both claimed sovereignty over Sipadan and Ligitan, another Celebes Sea island. But there were no indications

that the hostage-takers were involve<in the territorial dispute. Chong Kah Kiat, tourism minister for Sabah, said he was concerned that He attack would scare off the 400,000 tourists who visit Sabah beaches and rain forests every year. Meanwhile, at the airport in Kuala Lumpur, Mary Murphy was close to tears. "We really need to talk to our ch:1dren," she told the AP. "We really want to get to the phone." Her husband, an executive for Eastman Kodak Co. in Sydney,Australia, said they had not slept since Sunday night but were otherwise fine . "She's got lots of bites from sleeping in the bushes, a lot of sand fleas,'' he said, pointing to his wife's legs, which were covered with a rash of insect bites. As cameras flashed around them, Mary Murphy, wearing plaid Bermuda shorts, said all she wanted was "a good night's sleep and a hot shower."
