Students flocked to the Walk and Roll Day booth. located at the southeast corner of the Taggart Student Center, to get free fruit, cookies, bread and drinks. Those who chose to walk or bike to campus Wednesday were given free ice cream and the chance to enter a drawing for prizes such as bike repair kits, T-shirts, water bottles and passes to the Sports Academy.

"We want to encourage people to walk or bike to reduce traffic congestion on campus," Emily Crowshaw.Walk and Roll Day coordinator, said. The food promoted healthy eating and walking and biking promotes good health. too. said Danette May and Dennis Allen. USU students. It was a worthwhile endeavor. they said. When faculty. staff and students drive to campus it costs them money to park and buy gas. It puts wear and tear on

their car and it pollutes the environment, Croshaw said. According to Sid Morse. office assistant at Parking and Transportation Services. around 4,0COparking permits were sold to faculty and students this semester, not including resident hall permits. There are also around 3,0CO free parking spots around campus, Morse said. That leaves a possibility of 7.0COpeople parking on campus. out of the 19,986 students enrolled at USU this semester.

Last year about 300 people participated, but it was raining so this year Parking and Transportation Services expected to have a lot more participation than last year, Croshaw said. Since National Bike to Work Day is in May, Parking and Transportation Services wanted to do something like it while everyone was still in Spring Semester. Three years ago, the office started Walk and Roll Day which incorporates both biking and walking

Graduating seniors won't have to say goodbye to Utah State University completely. A measure approved last week will allow graduates to keep their university e-mail accounts for one year for free. "We've been kicking the idea around since fall," said former Associated Students of USU Athletics Vice President Sam Winward. "From the university standpoint . it's good exposure for people to see the ·cc.usu.edu' attached to the end of an e-mail." Graduates can access their e-mail accounts through WebMail and are able to change their e-mail names from the "SL"numbers. Winward said. "Computer Services will change the account from student status to alumni status." Winward said. According to Winward, after one year graduates will receive an e-mail asking them to renew their accounts at USU for a small fee. "It's a way of weeding out students who don 't use it." Winward said. "That way the system doesn't get overloaded by students who aren't using it, but allows those who like it to continue." Winward said one of the primary reasons for this is because so many students give out their "SL"numbers while in college and then lose that connection after graduation . "A lot of what happens nowadays is through networking." Winward said. "Afew years down the road 1 will still be able to get in touch with the people I gradua ted with." "This year will be a try out period," Winward said.

GOLDEN, Colo. (AP)- Large pools of blood soak into beige carpet, marked by yellow paper cards bearing victims· names. Calculators and pencils lie next to open books on tables. A computer monitor sits blown to bits. To the horror of Columbine victims· families. authorities released videotapes Wednesday that offer the public the first glimpse of the high • school's library at least a day after ,two students killed 12 schoolmates and a teacher before committing suicide on April 20, 1999. Ten of those students and the gunmen died in the library. Authorities charged $25 for each tape. The nearly three-hour tape, part of it set eerily to a pop music soundtrack that was added when it was turned into a training video, was mostly shot by firefighters. It also includes aerial footage taken by TV news teams that showed wounded and two slain students outside Columbine. "For the first time today, I saw my daughter being dragged over to the fire engine. I don't need to see that and nobody else needs to see that," said Beth Nimmo",·mother of slain student Rachel Scott. "It's something you'd see on a gory music video," said Nimmo. her voice choked with anguish. "It hurts.

WorldGLANce > Juryconvicts executive in trading scandal NEW YORK(AP)- A former top Wall Street executive was convicted Thursday of giving inside information on business deals to his porn-star girlfriend. James McDermott Jr., 48, was found guilty by a federal jury along with Anthony Pomponio, 45. McDermott was accused of giving inside information to 30year-old Kathryn Gannon. She and Pomponio then allegedly made $170,000 in illegal profits . The judge barred any mention of Gannon's career in X-rated movies, ruling that she could be described to the jury only as an actress, dancer and model who sometimes goes by the stage name "Marylin Star." McDermott and Pomponio both admitted having extramarital affairs with Gannon but denied they engaged in insider trading. Gannon is a fugitive. Prosecutors have sought her extradition from Canada, where she is believed to be living.

> Onekilledin Texas prison brawl LAMESA.Texas (AP) - Racial tensions fueled fights between 300 black and Hispanic inmates at a West Texas prison that left one inmate dead and five others in intensive care, authorities said. Some prisoners wielded garden tools in the five-hour melee Tuesday night at the minimum- to medium-security Smith Unit, which remained under lockdown Wednesday. "We believe it was very racially motivated," said Larry Todd, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman. "Some white inmates jumped in the fight, but it was mostly the black and Hispanic inmates who were fighting." The fights began after a Hispanic inmate confronted a black inmate who was fondling himself in front of a female officer in a dining hall, said Larry Fitzgerald, also a Department of Criminal Justice spokesman. Word of their confrontation then spread throughout the unit. and black and Hispanic inmates began brawling in the recreation yard.

Leavittsays gays shouldn't be Boy Scoutmasters SALTLAKE CITY (AP) Gov. Mike Leavitt said Thursday that homosexuals shouldn't be Boy Scoutmasters and the debate over homosexuality is not one that should play out in Utah schools. Leavitt said the debate over homosexuality "is an issue that's playing out in lots of different forms, all over the country and I would much prefer to see it not play out in schools as an issue. 1 just, 1 don't think this is the place for it." On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell ruled that an East High School gay club should be allowed to meet in Utah schools until she decides if the club is related to academics. In 1996, the Salt Lake City School District eliminated all nonacademic clubs rather than allow a gay club at East High, a policy that was upheld in federal court. Two students responded by

creating a group that focused on social movements, including homosexuality, then sued when the district forbade the group from meeting . "I think that the process that they went through at the Salt Lake School District was a rational one. I thought they came up with a reasonable position," Leavitt said. "It'll go now to the appellate courts, and I sense there's a pretty good chance it will be overturned ." Also on Wednesday. the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments over whether Boy Scouts of America should be required to permit homosexuals to be Scoutmasters. "(The Boy Scouts) is a private organization. It seems to me that private organizations ought to be able to ... make decisions about their leadership," Leavitt said. "I think it's going to be ... a very serious detriment to the Boy Scouts if (the court fight) is not resolved in their favor."

All you need to know about movies 'The Statesman' lists the Flicks to keep you best movies ever made busy this summer ANovMoRGAN Staff Writer

The inhabitants of this world, especiallythe United States, are diversified and unique from one another, and more often than not. we find ourselves at an impasse struggling to find something in common with each other. People disagree on religion,sexual preference, political ideol<?gy: enviro_nmental issues and other s1m1lartopics. But one thing that seems to bind cultures together is the universal love of movies. Everyperson has a favorite movie, and if you are told there is no favorite,rest assured that person is lying. The discussionof movies can cause treasured memories to resurface and can facilitate discussionsinjected with rational. mature thought and speech. However,the subject of what movie is good and what movie is bad can also cause Aunt Helga to throw her potato salad at you during a family reunion. The American Film Institute released its 100 greatest movies list last year. AFI'sslate has caused some division in our family.My dad thinks I need to see more of the classicsif I am going to be a true connoisseur of film. He's probably right. Yet,the only thing I can relate to is my generation and what has been churned out during my 26 years upon this planet. My wife agrees with my father that a dip into the film of generations past is something that will bring perspective to my critique of modern movies.With that said, I'll make the commitment this summer to delve into the oldies. Until then, the following20 movies represent what I think to be the best movies of all-time - at least for now. E.T.

This film by Steven Spielbergstill makes me cry. OK. not really,but when I was seven years old I remember bawling my eyes out at the old Capitol Theater in Logan. "Whydid E.T.have to go home, Dad? Why?"E.T.was filled with every robust element that made Spielberg'searlier movies huge gold mines - fear, humor, emotion and wonderful. state-of-the-art visuals. There is no question that Steven Spielbergis the greatest director of alltime. Star Wars

I'm pretty sure that in 1977 George Lucas had no idea what impact, if any, his sci-fitale involvinga young farm boy, a couple of droids, a rogue outlaw named Han Solo,a princess and a tall menacing figure named Darth Vader would have on society.Twenty-three years later, kids are still playing with Star Wars toys and still talking about "the Force."It may not be top notch in acting and other areas. but it is landmark in a genre of film that. more often that not, has very little to cheer about. Saving Private Ryan

Oh. surprise, Steven Spielberg is on this list again. (Hint: This isn't the last time, either.) This time, Spielberg makes

the list with his 1998 story of an army squad sent behind enemy lines to bring home a soldier whose brothers have all been killed in the war. Spielberg's World War II movie won him a bestdirector Oscar and featured the most realisticbattle footage ever seen on film. The movie helps viewers to gain an appreciation for what those soldiers did for this country and for the freedom we all possess.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Frank Capra strikes again with this classic tale of a naive idealist whoisawakenedtothe vast corruption in the United States Senate. JimmyStewart, one of the most diverse actors of all time, givesa memorable performance. Anyone going into politics should see this 1939 Oscar-winner for best original screenplay.

TheWizardof Oz When I was young, nothing scared me more than the sight of Margaret Hamilton portraying the snooty Miss Gulch and. later, the Wicked Witch of the West, in 1939's The Wizard of Oz. It won Oscars for the song "Over the Rainbow· and a special miniature Oscar for Judy Garland. It was a family tradition to sit around the television and watch this every year - that is. until our house was leveled by a tornado. Just kidding.I wanted to see if you were paying attention.

It'sa Wonderful life

I'm not apt to set myself up to be lynched, but until last Christmas, I had not seen It's a Wonderful Life.

Yeah,I suck, I know. However,my wife was right. This is a classic.It's sentimental and touching, and only Frank Capra and Jimmy Stewart could join to make this film so rich and beautiful. Platoon

One thing can be certain about director Oliver Stone:when he is good, he ranks among the all-time best directors, but when he is bad, he sinks to Bmovie garbage.Platoon is arguably Stone's best film. I saw this in the theater with my dad in 1986 and walked away never wanting to go to war. Platoon is realistic·and harrowing. It's one of the best war films ever made. It won Oscars for best picture, best director, film editing and sound.

Schindler's list This film is a cinematic masterpiece. End of story. No one will ever understand the horror the Jewish people were put through during World War II, but this film is the closest thing to realism ever witnessed. Schindler's List marked a coming-of-age for Spielberg and earned him a best-director Oscar. Every person should see this film and let its message penetrate their hearts.

Jaws When a young director named Steven Spielbergsent this bubble-gum story to theaters in 1975,he unleashed the opening of the summer months as blockbuster season. Based on the novel by Peter Benchley,this story of a maneating Great White shark had audiences closingtheir eyes and holding on to their seats. I love this movie. Twenty-fiveyears later I still get the willies.

April 28 is far away from the blistering summer months of June, Julyand August, but it does signifythe end of classesthis semester,and for most. the officialstart of summer.Some of us willbe hanging around trying to suck in as many creditsas our frazzledminds will handle. Others will move back home, mow lawnsand sip lemonade for the entire three months. Regardlessof what you do, be sure to visit the theater as often as possible. What better way can you think to spend your summer than in the cozy, air-conditioned shelter of your local movie house? Besides allowingyourselfto viewsome quality entertainment, you'll be contributing to a truly worthy cause the paychecksof Hollywoodcelebrities. Here's a samplingof what's playingthis summer:

I DreamedofAfrica (May5) Kim Basingertries her hand at acting in her first role since IA Confidential, and early buzz on this film has it labeled the sleeper hit of the summer. Based on a true story, Basingerportrays a woman who emigrates to Africaand comes to understand the pain, joy and hardship that are hidden in its vast beauty.

Battlefield: Earth (May12) Anyonewho has seen the previewor poster for this film, let me answer your questions. Yes,that is John Travolta,and yes, it appears he has sprouted some nasty looking dreadlocksor has taken on the role of Tentacle Man in L. Ron Hubbard's alien-invasion story.If you haven't read the book. the story revolves around a race of 10foot aliens called "Psychlos"who have begun mining the planet. However.one man in Colorado gathers survivorsto make a stand against the aliens.This looks ... uh ... interesting.

Dinosaur(May19) Gladiator(May5)

The man I pickedto win best actor at this year's Oscars,Russell Crowe,stars as Maximus,a Roman centurion and potential heir to the Roman Empire.Maximussoon finds himself a tad bit cranky when the Emperor'sson "downsizes"the current leadership and banishes Maximus,who swears he willreturn to Rome to seek his revenge. This flicklooks like it willrock.and since I'm a huge RussellCrowe fan, I'll be at the

Disney'slatest feat of animation combines computer-animated characterswith liveaction backgrounds.It tells the story of a young dinosaur who is separated from his parents after a devastating meteor impact. He is raised by sloths in a nearby jungle. and upon growingup he sets out to find his heritage.Julianna Marguiles,Alfre Woodardand Keifer Sutherland lend their voicesto this sure-fire blockbuster.

Mission:ImpossibleH (May24) Torn Cruise reprises his role as IMFagent Ethan Hunt in the sequel to 1996's Mission: Impossible.

Hunt leads a team of IMFagents in a mission to track down an international criminal carrying a toxicvirus. Don't see this flick because of Tom Cruise, though. See it because of John Woo,who directed Broken Arrow

Gonein SixtySeconds (June 9)

This willmark the third Jerry Bruckheimerfilm for NicolasCage,who starred previouslyin The Rockand Con Air. Cagejoins Robert Duvall,AngelinaJolie and Giovanni Ribisiin this high-octane flick about a group of car thieveswho plan one more heist before retiring.Trouble stirs when another gang of car thievesset their sights on the same heist. Shaft Returns (June 16)

Two words - well. three if you count the initial - Samuel L Jackson.Did you really expect any one else to portray the tough-talking detectivewho became popular in the 1960's?The detective who "isthe sex machine with all the chicks· is hired by a Harlem mob boss to find his kidnapped daughter and make the responsibleparties pay for their sins.

ntanAE. (June 16) I'm putting money on the supposition that this animated sci-fl adventure flops in the worstway at the box office.The story begins years after Earth has been obliterated by aliens and followsthe journey of a young man named Cale,who is searching for a mythical ship that holds the secretsto mankind's salvation.On the positive side,you have the voicesof Matt Damon.

Checkmate GREATESf Continuedfrom Page4 ForrestGump This 1994 film won Oscars for best film, best actor (Tom Hanks), best director, film editing, visual effects and adapted screenplay. It's the charming story of a slow-witted boy who seems to pass through life without even the faintest grasp of the socio-pop-political events that are occurring throughout his life, Instead, he floats like a feather, worrying about love more than other intangibles. Hanks' performance is stellar, the effects are superb and the film is a little piece of baby-boomer nostalgia. • II

Four years before Star Wars hit theaters, George Lucas gave moviegoers a glimpse of life in 1962 through the eyes of four teenagers on graduation night. This film is hilarious and on-target. It made Richard Dreyfus a star. One of the best coming-of-age movies ever made.

Rocky Yo,Adrian I This movie has the same theme as the story itself - rags to riches, Rocky would have never been made without the exceptional directing, acting and writing found inside its intricately woven texture.

Pulp Fiction

Although this movie is proOPENS MAY19IN THEATRES EVERYWHEREbut fane and bloody, I can't help laugh every time I watch the interaction between John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. This 1994 film

marked the introduction of Quentin Tarantino to the bigtime, as well as the resurrection of Travolta's acting career. Not for the squeamish, but definitely for the true film connoisseur .

TwelveAngry Men I first saw this film in my freshman English class in high school and have loved it ever since. It stars Henry Fonda as a juror who tries to convince 11 other jurors not to judge so hastily in their conviction of a young boy on trial for murder, The cast is unforgettable and includes stellar performances from E.G. Marshall, Jack Warden, Jack Klugman, Lee J. Cobb and Ed Begley. Directed by Sidney Lumet.

CloseEncounters of the Third Kind In 1977,Spielberg won over moviegoers again with a movie that seemed doomed from the start. Studio executives didn't feel production was moving at the pace they desired or in the manner they wanted, so they almost had Spielberg canned. Anyone who has seen this flick cannot help but remember Richard Dreyfus and his mashed potato sculpture of Devil's Tower in Wyoming. "This means something. This is important.· John Williams' soundtrack is haunting and the cinematography won an Oscar.

Psycho

Robert Duvall gives a memorable performance as Lt. Col. Kilgore and he utters one of the best lines in the movie, "You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of Napalm in the morning,·

North by Northwest George Lucas, Frank Capra, Steven Spielberg and Alfred Hitchcock are four directors who appear on this list and other top movie lists more than once. That says something about the power of vision and creativity that flowed through their brains. Hitchcock serves another suspenseful classic with this 1959 story of an advertising executive who is mistaken for a spy. The movie actually is part comedy, part thriller. Memorable portions include the crop dusting and Mount Rushmore scenes.

TaziDriver "You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?" Robert DeNiro uttered those famous lines in Martin Scorsese's 1976 depiction of a loony Vietnam veteran's descent into violence. It is gory and frightening. I remember watching this movie with my mouth open, amazed at what I was hearing and seeing. This film is one of many that can make a case for DeNiro as one of the top actors of all-time. Other big names in the movie include Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle and Cybill Shepherd, Bernard Herrmann, who also did the score for

Assistant Sports Editor

rnE HOB.SONHur I CaseyHobson One week left. This being my f i n a I Hobson Hut of the year, I just want to pay homage to a couple of people before we get into the really good stuff. There's a handful of people who have been there through thick and thicker, thinner and thinnest. These people are loyalists. They are the few, the proud, the ones who grab a copy of the Statesman every Friday and read The Hobson Hut. They are ... (excuse me while I wipe away the tears) ... friends in the truest since of the word. So, to Cameron and Nate McBride and anyone else who's read this column throughout the year, thanks. You all are the heart and soul behind the Statesman. You are the reason I have a job. And we really do it all for you. Do you think the majority of us here in the news room really care what the Associated Students of Utah State University do during their meetings? Don't kid yourselves. Most of us couldn't care less. However, there are some people out there that want to know about ASUSU events. There are some people out there wanting to know where the best ribs in town are. There are a choice few who care about what happens when the USU police capture stray dogs. And there are even a couple of people who wanted to know what the basketball team did in Reno for fun. The Statesman is for you people. We don't care about our grades - that's the greatest thing about majoring in communications: You don't have to get good grades. I'm living proof of that. You just need good clips. In fact, if your clips are good enough, you don't even need a college degree. But back to the point at hand. We don't care about our grades. We only care about informing you, the reader. Our interests don't matter. To hell with 'em. If it's good for you, that's what we do. I interviewed someone the other day that told me, "Nothing is too good for your fellow human being," and that's the philosophy we use to r-,Jt together every issue of the ·tatesman. Su, for all of you out there who not only read The Hobson Hut regularly, but the rest of the paper too, thanks. It's been an honor. Now that we've got all the sappy stuff out of the way, I just want to say the Utah Jazz are not going to win it all this year. They're playing good ball, but it's not going to happen. Do you want to know why? Well I'll tell you. Oops, I've rambled for so long that I don't have enough room to explain myself. I'll tell you next year. Y'all have fun, and remember, the Force will be with you ... always. Casey Hobson is the sports editor at the Statesman. His goal this summer is to make it out to Boston to catch a game at Finway Park. E-mail him at hobsonhut@hotmail.com and let him know where you'd most like to see a game.

USUleft fielder Markean Neal catchesa flyball during the Aggies 4-0 victory over ColoradoState. With the victory, the Aggiesimprovedto 15-25on the season.

Maybe after a few more home runs Heather Curtis might learn a home run strut. But for now, she's content on just hitting them. Curtis hit a double, single and was walked in addition to her two-run home run to lead the Aggies (15-25) to an easy 4-0 win over Colorado State University. The sophomore shortstop drove in or scored all four Aggie runs. The home run was her career's second. "I felt good during warm-up; Curtis said. ·u·s nice to see her get the power at the two spot (in the line up)," head coach Pam McCreesh said. As for Utah State University's pitching, Kristin Hommel had a no-hitter through five and a third innings on her way to a completegame shutout. The Rams (15-25), who opted to only play one game instead of the scheduled doubleheader, were a warm-up for the Aggies as they take on red-hot California State University at Fullerton Saturday (1 p.m. and 3 p.m.) and Sunday (1 p.m.). "I like one and done," McCreesh said. The Titans (12-3, 37-11) are tied for first with Long Beach State University who swept the Aggies in three games last weekend.

"Fullerton is on fire," McCreesh said, "it's no secret." But the Aggies will have some momentum, as Hommel finally got some run support. "It was really nice," Hommel said. "Our team hit so well." Curtis broke the stalemate in the bottom of the third inning, bringing in Tiffany Pugmire on a home run just over the left outfield fence. Curtis scored again in the fifth inning as Stephanie Vasarhely followed up Curtis' ground-rule double with a double of her own. The final USU run was knocked in by another Curtis hit, this time a single that looked like Holly Schmillen might have caught. but it was ruled a single and Danielle Rodriguez scored on the play. The Rams did threaten to break up the shutout in the fourth and seventh innings. But a ground out left two CSU runners. who reached base on walks, stranded on second and third. In the final inning. the Rams had runners on first and second when a sacrifice fly turned into a double play as the second base runner tagged up too early.

The Aggies dropped embarrassing losses to Northern Arizona University. Weber State University and the University of Utah. "When you get blasted at Utah and Weber, you could give up," Rahe said, "but they hung in there. It was a lot of fun to see them bounce back." And bounce back they did. Rahe was impressed with the team's chemistry and unselfishness. After losing to Brigham Young University in the Spectrum - the only home loss of the season - the Aggies ran off nearly 20 straight games. And during all this USU had no players in the top-15 scorers in the conference but had four players in double figures with a fifth averaging around nine. In the final seven games of the streak, the Aggies had seven different leading scorers. "You never knew what guy would step up," Rahe said. "All 13 guys were on the same page." Many players, especially the starters, made strides in their game. Rahe said he was happy with Bernard Rock's basketball intelligence,

Low expectations and high achievement. These were some of the reasons the Utah State University basketball team was the clear choice for the Statesman Meri Team of the Year Award. Predicted to place fourth or fifth in the Eastern Division of the Big West Conference, the Aggies stunned everybody - including USU's coaches - by winning 19 straight games on their way to a conference season and title, a 28-6 record and an NCAA Tournament appearance. ·we didn't know what to expect," assistant coach Randy Rahe said. "To have the kids do what they did was really fun." With all the uncertainty of having only three players returning from last year's squad and nine new players, USU's expectations were low. Rahe said the team was shooting to stay above .500, and maybe make a run in the BWC tournament. And early in the season, there was some doubt. Rahe said around December the team starts adding more plays and strategies. making the players think more than just play. Jumpto TEAM, Page9

Demario Brown rushed for the 'Statesman' Male Athlete-of-the-Year CA.sEYHOBSON

Sports Editor

It was a Brown year for Utah State University football. In fact, it was a Brown year for the entire USU athletic program as the Statesman sports staff voted Aggie running back Demario Brown USU's male athlete-of-the-year. Brown was the life force of the football team this year, and a big reason the Aggies ~lvaged a 3-3 record in the Big West Conference, tying New Mexico State University for third place. Brown averaged 5.5 yards per carry this BROWN season and set a school record for most yardage in a single season with 1,536. He also broke the school record for career yardage with 4,053 yards. However, it wasn't just Brown's accomplishments on the field that helped pilot the team. Then head coach Dave Arslanian referred to Brown on several occasions as one of the team's biggest emotional leaders. The Aggies not only looked to him for points, but for an inspirational boost, too. Brown has reportedly signed a freeagent contract with the Tennessee Titans.

Shawn Daniels' overall skill, Dimitri Jorssen's and Tony Brown's defensive improvements and senior Troy Rolle's unselfishness in taking on a new role on the team. Brennan Ray added a lot to his game, Rahe said, and Dion Bailey, Curtis Bobb and Rashaun Thomas all gave great lifts off the bench. Even players deep on the bench or injured off-on throughout the season like Dan Stewart or Andre Mahorn made key contributions. But as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Defending NCAA champions University of Connecticut finished USU's season by giving the Aggies a 75-67 NCAA first round tournament loss. Utah State gave UCONN a tough game, but the inexperience of being in the NCAA tournament for the first time might have done them in. "There's a lot of ·wow' going on," Rahe said. "Everything was new to them." Although the entire team will return for next season, with the notable exception of Rolle, next season will be very different because of altered expectations. "We've got to work hard," Rahe said. •If you relax, you will get beat." The only confirmed addition to next year's squad is Toraino Johnson, a small forward from El Paso, Texas. He averaged 15 points and eight rebounds at Garden City Junior College.

Prior to this season, it had been two years since the Utah State University women's volleyball team had a winning overall record (18-15). The three games above .500 broke a span of 11 consecutive losing seasons for USU, which included records of 2-28 in 1994 and 0-30 in 1995. And if that wasn't enough bad news, since 1982, when the Aggies posted a 29-20 record, Utah State has had just two winning seasons. That doesn't even include the Aggies' conference marks. Before the ·99 campaign, it had been 18 seasons since the Aggies posted a winning conference record (9-1, good enough for first place). After that, Utah State never finished any higher than third (1997,with a 7-9 record). But the Aggies' losing ways changed this season when Tom Peterson took over the helm as head coach. However. it didn't appear as if things would be any better for the frrst-year coach from Provo, as USU started the season off with a 1-8 record, including a home loss to in-state rival Weber State University in four games. From that point on though, Utah State turned its season around. As the Aggies started to win (two winning streaks of seven and five games, respectively) they were well on their way to becoming the Big West Conference Eastern Division Champions with a 11-5 conference mark (14-12 overall). ·we got better," Peterson said. "They started to learn how to win." And once the Aggies started to

win, there was no turning back, according to Peterson. "Once you start to win, that's very contagious," Peterson said. "Youjust get on a roll." For its accomplishments this season, Utah State volleyball was voted as the women's team of the year by The Utah Statesman sports staff. ·1 wish 1 could take credit for it all," Peterson said. "Anything like that makes me feel pretty neat. There's a lot of little things that we've got lately (the outstanding academic team and the Robins Award~ "The whole thing combined, it's the best group of volleyball players - chemistry-wise and people-wise - that J've coached." So, with the thrill of 1999's championship season now behind the Aggies,what have the Aggies been up to in the off season? Playing matches, of course. USU has played in three tournaments this spring and has recorded wins over Brigham Young University (twice).the University of Utah and Weber State University. "Spring stuff is a chance to mess around with your lineup and the other teams," Peterson said. However, Utah State can't have new players play in the matches, or else they will lose a year of eligibility. "Things are a little bit different for every team," Peterson said. Saturday will be the Aggies' final tournament of the spring, which well be held at Boise State University. Peterson said the tourney will last just one day, but his team will get to play in at least four or five matches. - 1 t>l Besides the tournaments, USU L---------· ______ ___.c:5 has been practicing and recruitUSU'sLoriSargent-McKnight(II)sets the ballto DenaeMahlman during a match earlierthis season. ing, as well.

Women's soccerplaysSouthAfrican team leading scorer Brigid Turner is attending a family wedding, and USU's all-time leading score Jayme Gordy has a knee injury and has not practiced much this week. Together, they scored 23 of the team 's 37 goals in 1999. "That does hurt." Enos said, "but we're excited just to compete .· This deep into the spring season, Enos has started to play just the players that will return next season to help them adjust to some of the new roles they will be taking on. But that also leaves USU with some holes; the team currently only has one goalie, Michaela Miller. Midfielder Marci Giles is the "pseudo back-up keeper." Enos said.

The University staff is going to treat this game like a regular fall game, and the Outdoor Recreation Center will be there making Dutch oven food. After the game, the Aggies will have pins for each South African player. It is unusual for USU to play a spring ball game this late because of finals - even for Enos, who has a math final next week. "We're all burned out and ready for finals," Enos said. The Aggies have practiced all week, preparing for South Africa's quick-touch play and deep midfield. "We've got to prepare for their style of play."Enos said. And they are will likely have to play with a depleted forward squad. last year's

Trying to gain experience to qualify for the 2003 women's world cup, the South Africans have been touring Utah, playing colleges and top club teams in the state. So far they have beaten Weber State University and dropped to Brigham Young University. They take on the Aggies today at 1 p.m. on Tower Field.

The Aggies went unbeaten in 16 games last season to win the Big West while compiling a 19-game winning streak. Utah State lost to Connecticut in the NCAA tournament's first rou _nd, ending the streak. Morrill's record in Logan is 43-19. He originally signed a five-year contract, and the five-year extension calls for his base salary next season to increase from $120,000 to $143,000 annually.

In his 14 years as a college coach, Morrill's overall record is 261-157. He went 97-52 in five seasons at Montana (1987-91) and 121-86 in seven seasons at Colorado State University (1992-98). "Stew has been a very good coach for a very long time and we are fortunate to have him at Utah State University," said athletic director Rance Pugmire.

too. Interactive video games? Nope. Same thing. So, I guess that only leaves one firefighter's video tape set to music. Movie and music. Isn't that what causes this stuff in the first place? If kids can't differentiate between fiction and reality to the point where popular movies urge them to commit such crimes, who's to say kids will see the difference on this video and therefore make an impact. Doesn't make any sense. A spokeswoman for Littleton told the Associated Pressthe tape has been used in 82 training seminars throughout North America. What are they training these officers for? How to cry at a video with sad music? How to create a creepy video displaying carnage of the worst kind? Twenty-five dollars. Where is it going? Nobody knows yet. At least officials haven't yet said. Maybe· they'll do something really nice and put the money in a fund to help the families now suffering because of the tape. "They have pictures from the helicopter of dragging Richard by his feet," Connie Michalik, mother of nowparalyzed Richard Castaldo, told the Associated Press. Other families are crying foul over the tape. "For the first time today, I saw my daughter being dragged over to the fire engine. I don't need to see that and nobody else needs to see that," Beth Nimmo, mother of one slain student, told the Associated Press. The first time this footage was shown on television, it was news. Now it's a snufffilm. The fire officials in Littleton have tried to absolve themselves of liability by claiming the firefighter made the tape on his own time with his own equipment, according to a written statement released to the Associated Press. I hope that if I ever live in Littleton and my house catches fire, I'll have my wits about me and dress appropriately. I might find myselfon a $20 video a few years later . with the Midnight Oil song, "Beds are Burning."

Come summertime, there will be more tourists than ever, coming to seewhat all that controversy was about. Everybody wins. The environmental movement getstheir publicity and the locals make the green. So this summer, as I ply through the waters of beautiful Lake Powell on some fuel-inefficient houseboat,I will remember the Coalition to Save Glen Canyon with fondness and toast them with a cool drink I bought from my "nature-hating" friends at the marina. I'll thank them both for creating an even more bustling tourist industry, bringing in more people and businesses and providing me with the means to vacation comfortably in such magnificent splendor.

WINTER CLEARANCE Deadline nearson proposed Microsoft sanctions SALE WASHINGTON(AP)- The Justice Department and 19 states that successfully sued Microsoft for antitrust violations worked out last-minute details Thursday to sanctions proposed against the company. Facing a Friday deadline, the government and attorneys general are expected to file a single proposal that will recommend breaking up the software giant in two parts to prevent it from engaging in any illegal behavior in the future . The proposal will be submitted to U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, who on April 3 ruled that Microsoft repeatedly violated federal antitrust laws intended to maintain competition. He found the company used its .monopoly power in the operating systems market to crush rivals. Jackson gave the government and the states the option of submitting separate briefs if they failed to agree on a remedy. Despite doubts expressed by some states on the divestiture plan, a single proposal will be filed with the court, according to people close to the talks. 'There will be one document which will be the voice for the Department of Justice and virtually a11of the states," said one source, speaking on condition of anonymity, though "one or two states may choose to put in an appendix or footnotes" to record their difference of opinion in some areas. Microsoft has said it plans to appeal Jackson's ruling, and company executives have insisted that no laws were broken. ln an interview earlier this week with The Associated Press, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said divestiture of any part of the company he founded 25 years ago would hurt consumers and be "a very inappropriate thing." New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer called the recent com-

ments by Gates, along with those by the chief executive officer, Steve Ballmer, "fundamentally distortive." "The truth is that Microsoft has been a monopolist found by a federal judge to have undercut innovation, and hence competition and consumer welfare," said Spitzer, pointing to passages of Jackson's April 3 ruling. Microsoft has until May 10 to respond to the government's filing but has said it would request an extension to respond to a proposal as extreme as a breakup . Under the government's proposal, Microsoft would likely be split into two parts. ;. One company would sell ;z Windows, the operating sys~ tern that runs most of the ~ world's personal computers. ~ The other would handle § applications software, such as Bill Gates defendsMicrosoft's practices,but now must wait the dominant Office software for the final government decision. suite, which includes the word processor, Word, and the Institution. spreadsheet program, Excel.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP)A month after officialsdug up hundreds of victims of a Ugandan doomsday cult, workers on Thursday exhumed the bodies of 55 more people - mostly women and children - from a garage rented by a cult leader. Gravediggersdad in yellow plastic protective gear removed the bodies of 22 women, 15 men, 10 girls and eight boys from three graves in a garage attached to a small brick house in Ggaba, a residential area just south of Kampala, police spokesman Assuman Mugenyi said. He said the bodies bore no external signs of violence and the cause of death would be determined by pathologists. The remains were wrapped in

black polyethylenebags and loaded onto a trailer to be taken to the municipal cemetery for burial. The exhumations came a month after barefoot prisoners in shorts dug up 80 bodies and a skull from a cult compound in the village of Rushojwa in southwestern Uganda, the last of four properties tied to the cult where bodies were found. Mugenyi said police had suspected for some time that there might be bodies at the Ggaba house rented by excommunicated Roman Catholic priest Dominic Kataribabo, a leader of the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments the cult now blamed for 979 deaths.

But criticism over the use in the villages of unprotected prisoners to unearth the bodies, coupled with international media coverage, prompted authorities to suspend the search until they had assembled the necessary equipment and logistics. It was feared that the grisly discoveryin Ggaba would not be the last. "We have not got the logistics for the whole investigation," Mugenyi told The Associated Press. "This was in the city, and people were concerned, and we were equally concerned, so we had to give it priority. We will wait until everything is ready, and then we will resume the work." Dozens of police and soldiers kept reporters and pho-

tographers well away from the property as the bodies were being dug up. Mugenyi said the digging at the Ggaba compound was finished, and authorities did not expect to find more bodies there. When several hundred people were reported to have perished in a fire at a cult compound in Kanungu on March 17,the deaths were first believed to have been a mass suicide. Authorities later said 530 people were burned alive. When six bodies were found in a pit latrine in the same compound, and then 388 more in houses owned or rented by cult leaders in three other villages,officialsbegan to speak of mass murder.

~Cheapbeercontributes to STDtransmission ATLANTA(AP)- Cheap beer is a leading contributor to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, according to a government report that says raising the tax on a six-pack by 20 cents could reduce gonorrhea by up to 9 · percent. • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, released Thursday. compared changes in gonorrhea rates to - changes in alcohol policy in all states from 1981 to 1995. In " years following beer tax increases, gonorrhea rates usually dropped among young people. The same happened

when the drinking age went up - as it did in many states during the 1980s. "Alcohol has been linked to risky sexual behavior among youth . It influences a person·s judgment and they are more likely to have sex without a condom, with multiple partners or with high-risk partners," said Harrell Chesson, a health economist with the CDC. Beer industry lobbyists, however. said recent statistics show young people are already drinking more responsibly, thanks in part to efforts by brewers.

"Excise taxes have little or nothing to do with alcohol abuse in society," said Lori Levy of The Beer Institute in Washington . "I think that our members understand the importance of educating young people about how to make responsible choices once they're old enough and they put a lot of money and effort into those programs ." Gonorrhea, one of the most common venereal diseases. was examined in the CDC study because long-term statistics are available and the disease is more evenly spread among states .
