The Bridgerland Community Ice Arena broke ground June 2 and the site is ready for concrete footings to be poured, but construction can't continue until another $1 million is raised. North Park Inter local Cooperative, which will own the structure for the first 15 years of its existence, has mandated the need for more funds. BCIA Executive Director Janet Borg is rushing to write grant applications and organize fund raisers before the end of September. If the BCIA can't supply the funds by then, the French national skating and women's hockey teams will likely not practice in the facility in 2002 as was originally planned .

>ALMANAC On Sept. 11, 1789, Alexander Hamilton was appointed the first secretary of the treasury. In 19361 President Roosevelt dedicated Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) by pressing a button in Washington to signal the startup of the dam's first hydroelectric generator in Nevada. In 1954, the Miss America pageant made its network TV debut on ABC; Miss California, Lee Ann Meriwether, was crowned the winner.

'We can't go on without those Olympic tie-ins," she said. Borg said she hopes to acquire funds by finding someone to be the building's namesake. Twenty-one individuals and companies have rejected to have the building named after them, though Borg has offered free family skating to anyone who finds a namer. 'We can't lose with that deal," she said. Money isn't the only snag in the process. BCIA has been addressing the concerns of citizens in the area who have filed complaints with the Cache County Planning Commission that the arena would negatively affect their neighborhood. The North Logan City Council is also looking for

more assurance that the BCIA is financially viable before it proceeds, said Jeff Jorgensen, North Logan city administrator. Any problems aside, the council supports the arena and has already passed resolutions to support bonds for its construction, he said. North Logan City has already started adding roads, water lines and sew'er lines necessary for the new structure, Jorgensen said.

Solicitation bad news on USU campus Scon DAv1s Staff Writer

Utah State University has a nosolicitation policy for all campus proper ty - a policy taken seriously by university administra tors and police. Every year the USU police department deals with violaters of th is policy. This year at least one individual has been arrested by USU Police for violation of the no-solicitation rule. Actual arrests are rare because first -time offenders rec ieve a warnmg . 'We get involved (main ly) because people haven 't rece ived permission or aren't aware of the policy to begin with, " said Sgt. Steve M ilne, an 18year veteran of the USU Police Depar tment. If an individual continues to solicit on campus , rhe police will make an arrest. Violators can be placed under arrest on charges of trespassing or operating without a city business license . Solicitors on campus, usually organiza tions who set up booths in and around the Taggar t Student Center, must have recei ved proper permission from the Administrative Affairs office. While on-campus housing is covered under the un ivers ity-wide policy, student housing is covered under a similar no-solicitation stipulation in every student housing contract .

Koreas join Transportation:

TheBoss, brokeringKoreas'agreement LARRY MC SHA '\IE

AssociatedPress

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - A busy day for Juan Antonio Samaranch. He visited the Olympic Village, performed on the didgeridoo and finally brokered a historic agreement between North and South Korea. · , Under a deal announced Sunday night, athletes from North and South Korea will for the first time march as a single delegation Friday in the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics. IOC president Samaranch and leaders from both nations completed the agreement for the two teams to appear at the opening ceremonies behind a Korean unification flag. "It's a very important gesture to show to all the world the will of the two Koreas to be unified as soon as possible," Samaranch told a news conference. Athletes from both nations will wear the same white uniforms for the ceremony. Once the games begin, they will compete independently with

their own national colors, flags and anthems. The rapprochement was first broached during the June summit between leaders of the two nations. Technically, the Koreas remain in a state of war because their three-year 1950s conflict ended i Samaranch revealed the travel mix-up Sunday (Saturday night EDT) during a visit to the Olympic Village, where he posed for pictures while playing the didgeridoo - a traditional Aboriginal wind instrument. "They said, 'Ten more minutes,"' said Samaranch, sounding like a typically harried commuter. "It was not possible. I had something to do." Samaranch received a personal apology and gift from the head of the Olympic transportation agency. And his Sunday bus, provided by The word on all the athletes' lips: shark. Although the last reported shark attack in the harbor was two years ago, and the last fatal attack in 1963, sharks remained the topic of conversation among the triathletes.

"There are 54 other competitors for the sharks to eat," joked Brazil's Armando Barcellos. "I'm thin - they wouldn't like that." To calm any frazzled nerves, organizers unveiled the "sharkpod" - a device that emits low-frequency shocks to repel sharks. Divers, with the devices strapped to their bodies, will escort the participants during the games. Davenport, the defending gold medalist, lost to Williams in straight sets. Both will play singles in Australia, and they could possibly meet again in Sydney. The IAAF refused to accept the ruling and ordered a Sept. 16 arbitration hearing in Sydney, one day after the Games begin. The IAAF agreed to postpone that hearing. UK Athletics, the national governing body, said the delay would "allow Mark further time to produce new scientific Canada planned to appeal the decision. It was a case of deja vu for the 29-year-old Miranda, who was bumped for financial reasons from the 1992 Olympics just 15 days before the start in Barcelona.

Koreasto march into Olympicstogether For the first time, athletes unify after being divided STEPHEN WILS0.'11

AssociatedPress

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Athletes from North and South Korea will march together behind a unification flag during opening ceremonies at the Olympics - the first time the countries of the divided peninsula have joined together at the gaines. International Olympic Committee president Juan-~tonio Samaranch annom\ced the agreement for the joint march Sunday night during a speech at the Sydney Opera House opening the IOC's annual meeting. "It's a very important gesture to show to all the world the will of the two Koreas to be unified as soon as possible," Samaranch said at a news conference. Samaranch said there would be 180 marchers in all, 90 from each country. The North Koreans were concerned their team, numbering around 50 athletes, would barely be noticed among the 400-strong South Korean team. They will march behind one flag held by two athletes, one from the North and one from the South, Samaranch said, with uniform details still to be worked out between the two nations. The team name in the march will be simply Korea. The athletes will wear the same uniforms for Friday's opening ceremony; during the games, however, they will compete as separate countries , with their own uniforms,_flags and anthems, Olympic officials said. Samaranch said that he personally brokered the deal during negotiations stretching over five days in Sydney, with the IOC's executive then approving it. After the announcement, he posed for photos standing between IOC members from the countries, Kim Un-yong from the

South and Chang Ung from the North. "\Ve are the same blood," Chang said. Kim said the flag depicted a map of the entire Korean peninsula and was used when the Koreas fielded joint teams at the World Table Tennis Championships in Chiba,Japan, 10 years ago and at the vVorld Youth Soccer Championship in Lisbon in 1991. "It's a very, very powerful symbol," IOC executive board member Anita DeFrantz of the United St:1tessaid. "I think it might bring a kt of people to tears on the 15th of September." "I think this is very good news for sport, for the Olympic family and also for the games of Sydney," Samaranch said. Chang said the entire North Korean delegation totaled 70, and could not say how that would affect the number of people who marched. The Koreas remain technically in a state of war because their three-year conflict in the early 1950s ended in an armistice, not a peace treaty. South Korean ministers raised the Olympics issue with their counterparts during recent talks in Pyongyang, the capital of the communist North. "It's not so complicated to march together," Kim said last week. "There is no deadline. We will do everything to promote peace, dialogue and cooperation. We are willing to go to the last minute." Samaranch sent letters to the leaders of both countries before June's historic summit between South Korean President Kim Dae-jung and North Korean leader Kim Jong II in Pyongyang. Samaranch proposed that all Korean athletes march jointly under the Olympic flag, which would he followed by the flags of each country. South Korea quickly accepted the proposal.

On Sunday, the bus was there and waiting . Things didi:i't go as smoothly a day earlier for Samaranch. The IOC president was stranded Saturday for 20 minutes outside his hotel as he awaited Olympic transportation for a tour of the International Broadcast Center.

Three-daysearchends afterpolice find the bodyof shootingsuspect BUNKER, Mo. (AP) - A three-day search for a man accused of openin~ fire on city workers and killing two men ended Saturday when a landowner near the Mark Twain National Forest found the suspect's body. Officials haven't released how Garry Dewayne Watson died, said Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Marty Elmore. Results of an autopsy weren't expected until Sunday. Police had been searching the national forest since Thursday, when they say vVatson began shooting at city workers who crossed his property in the Ozark town of Bunker to reach a sewage lagoon. Officials in the town of 300 about 100 miles southwest of St. Louis said Watson, 49, had been feuding with the city for years over an easement on the one-acre lot where he lived in a mobile home. On Thursday, when the city workers arrived to work on the lagoon, Watson began firing, police said. City officials Rocky B. Gordon, 34, and David Thompson, 44, were killed, and city maintenance worker Delmar Eugene Dunn, 51, and Bunker police chief Steve Stoops, 41, were wounded. Following the shooting, police said Watson fled into the forest armed with a semiautomatic assault rifle.

Investmentscamoperatorgiven 27 years for probationviolation BARTOW, Fla. (AP) - A man who used a phony oil exploration company to bilk investors of an estimated $20 million in the 1980s was sentenced to 27 years in prison for violating probation. Stephen L. Smith, 49, pleaded guilty in 1989 to operating a pyramid scheme that focused on the elderly and involved 700 investors. He served four years in federal pr'ison and started a 10-year probation term in 1993. He was arrested again last September in Pensacola and was found guilty of violating conditions of his probation that barred him from running businesses, holding corporate bank accounts and wo~ng for companies that handled finances and business consulting. Arguing for a lesser sentence, co-counsel Robert Norgard said Smith had abided by stringent probation conditions before being charged with "technical violations." The maximum 27-year sentence imposed Friday may be reduced if Smith is able to pay an additional $5 .5 million in restitution to scam victims, said Assistant State Attorney \Vayne Durden. About $15 million was recovered through the sale of his assets.

After a series of meetings Friday, the Presidential Search Committee concluded Utah State University's new president is going to have to be able to walk on water. The committee met with lea9ers from the Associated Students of Utah State University Friday for feedback on everything from presidential characteristics to the search process. As happened on Thursday, the leaders agreed the new president is going to have quite a list of desired characteristics to fill.

Upcoming events include an October performance of the Utah Symphony with Keith Lockhart-and .a November performance of an Andrew Lloyd Webber tr ibute.

"It is our good fortune that the community now has a multitude of cultural opportun ities - opportunities that didn 't exist when the USU Performing Arts Series began," Jensen said. More opportunities exist now, but audience numbers are not large enough to accommodate every performing arts series. The USU Performing Arts Series, which is funJed through student fees and has in the past featured programs directed toward the community, will also be focused more on student interests, according to Jensen . The Associated Students of Utah State University plan to schedu le a hvely mix of ballet, modern dance , jazz, new.age music and classical music.

per writers from the Washington area. The first step toward crafting a successful life, Graham and Covey say, is defining what you mean by success. Graham, a leadership consultant and author of the earlier book for adults, "You Can .Make It Happen" (Simon & Schuster), says that success is not about making lots of money. "It's finding out your passion, being happy with what you do," he says. Kavyani, who attends a Falls Church, Va., high school, agrees wholeheartedly. She used to hear the word "success" and picture the "s" as a dollar sign, she admits. Her freshman biology teacher, Connie Thomas, changed that. From the moment Kavyani walked into Thomas' classroom, which was decorated like a human cell, "I knew that there was no place in the world .Ms. Thomas would rather be and nothin~ she'd rather be doing,' Kavyani says. "Doing what you have a knack to do and love doing, that's suecess " Covey defines success as living a life centered on moral principles, such as honesty, love and hard work. Jeff Davis, an Olney, Md ., senior, likes that definition.

"To be successful in life, you need to live a certain way and stay aw11yfrom negative behavior and habits," he says. Defining success also means envisioning the life you want, according to Graham and Covey. Graham , the more ambitious of the two, suggests that teen-agers cast their eyes beyond college to the career and family they desire . .Most people, adults included, don't think ahead, he says. "You ask them about the ir vision, and they start talking about their last visit to the eye doctor." Older teen-agers are less inclined to think lo,ng-term than they used to be, according to a national survey of last year 's college freshmen . Linda Sax, director of the UCLA study, says students reported declining commitment to succeeding in business and social activis1,11and increased attention to making good grades and paying for college. A record onethird reported feeling stressed . "They are preoccupied with immediate goals, " she says None theless, Graham insists that teen-agers are dreamers and can shape their dreams.

Greek rush week over, new members chosen BRmANY

PFISTER

Staff Writer

Lastweek the walkways behind the Taggart Student Center were adorned with signs encouraging students to join one of seven fraternities or sororities available at Utah State University. But the signs and booths were only part of the festivities surrounding Recruitment Week, commonly known as Rush Week. "Recruitment Week is designed for students to get an / understanding of what Greek life is all about," said Tiffany Evans, associate director of student activities. She said this year 80 women were hopefuls this year; 90 to 100 men signed up, according to Jared Allred, Interfraternal Council president. Recruitment Week began Tuesday with a welcome ~d a tour of the houses, Allred said. During the week the houses held parties and barbecuf s "Ji's kind of a joil1t prtx:ess," Evans said. "It's a tipie for the students to see what fraternity or sorority they w¢uld like to belong to, and it's/a time for the fraternity or soropty to decide who, based on activities and academics, they want to join their house." On the final day of Recruitment week the houses invited candidates they thought will be an "asset" to the house,

Allred said. "In our house we look particularly for scholars, leaders, athletes and gentlemen," he said. He said most of the fraternities have similar mJSSlOilS.

After recruitment an eightweek trial period begins. This time allows house members to ensure everyone will work well together, Allred said. It's a delicate process. "Hone person out of all our members does something bad, the whole fraternity is held accountable, " said Andy Spurlock, IFC judicial vice president and member of Sigma Chi. Advantages include good parking, affordable food and housing, service and leadership opportunities and a close-knit community, Greek members Angie Domichel and Bradley Bishop said. Belonging to a traternity or sorority is worth it, they agreed. "The benefits of living in the house are endless," Domichel said. "Youcome to college to get an education, but it is not just secular," Bishop said. "You need to learn social skills. Each fraternity is like a small business ... Everyone stereotypes [fraternity members] as partiers and drinkers, but there are those of us who aren't. [Fraternities] need to be embraced and supported . H the community supported them they would improve."

Plantation Offers Lesson in Harsh Slavery Conditions LEEF SMITH

Washington Post

Overgrown with b.:-ambles and grass, South Road lay forgotten for almost 200 years, its purpose decaying abng with the slave cabins thal once lined it during the early part of the 19th century. The road might have remained a historical footnote on the neatly manicured grounds of Sully Plantation had archaeologists and historians not rediscovered it 15 years ago, realizing it presented a rare opportunity to depict what slave life may have been like in Fairfax County, Va. This week a reconstructed South Road and a replica of a slave cabin were formally opened to the public, providing visitors to Sully with a new look at the harsh conditions slaves faced as they worked to support one of Northern Virginia's most lavish estates. In a society that still roils with racial tensions, historical interpretations - particularly those involving slavery- are a delicate business. For that reason, officials at Sully and the Fairfax County Park Authority, which has operated the plantation since 1959, have had docents and other staff undergo sensitivity training

and say they plan to "stick to the facts" to avoid misunderstandings. "It wasn't comfortable in the 1970s to talk about slaves," Sully site manager Ca.rol McDonnell said. "Today, it's just part of what we do. It's part of history, and you have to present it" or risk telling only half the story. Gail Cassidy, an interpretive supervisor at Mount Vernon, Va., where a slave life program was begun in 1994, said controversy and disagreement are inevitable when slavery is being discussed but agreed it's a topic "whose time has come." Cassidy accompanies .Mount Vernon guides three or four times to fine-tune their presentations before they are allowed to lead tours and answer visitors' questions on their own. Historical balance is the key, she said. Sully Plantation, just off Route 28 near Virginia's Dulles International Airport, may be better known for having antique car shows than providing history lessons. Staff members hope that the slave cabin, which cost $29,000 to build, and the increased emphasis on slave life will attract more visitors to the estate .

The Utah Statesman• Monday,Septemberl l, 2000

A tour of the real art on campus I started with all the art sculptures on campus. I even took pictures. (You may have seen them in Friday's issue of The Statesman. And no, I'm not above plugging my own work. 1'11 have a sports column in Wednesday's paper. Check it out.) As I walked around campus, I noticed all the sculptures had something in common: They didn 't look like anything at all. I saw a bunch of Lincoln Logs over by the Natural Resources Building. I played with those when I was five . The logs on display by the Natural Resources building were a I ittle bigger, but they had the same basic design. There's a rock just south of the University Inn and another one over by the Chase Fine Arts building. They were nice rocks, but I think if I were to go drop a big rock out on the lawn it would be called vandalism, not art. Which brings me to my point. These days it seems art can be anything from the Mona Lisa to mud. Speaking of which, I stepped in some mud on my voyage across

I own a truck, a few guns, a bunch of tools. I'm your stereotypical · guy - at least from what I've been told. But I tried to branch out last week and explore those new horizons the sophisticated people of the world seem to love so much.

campus and got it all over my new shoes. I wanted to enter them in the state fair this month. I picked up a Iittle brochure in the newsroom that I isted most of the sculptures on campus. A few of the exhibits I saw weren't shown on my list, and I was surprised because they were some of the finer pieces offered. So, to make sure these pieces of art don't go un noticed, I snapped a few photos of them, too. Come with me, if you will, on a quick tour of some of Utah State University's finer, lesser-known pieces of art. Let's start with Fig. 1.1, shown just to the left. There was no plaque on this one, but I happen to know a little bit about it. I think most artists call it a Dumpster. The Dumpster isn't just art; it's functiona I. Twentieth-century man used it to decorate alleys and parking lots. The greatest thing about the Dumpster is that it doubles as a trash receptacle. From what I understand, when people have things they no longer want, they store them in these Dumpsters. Then, once a week, a little green guy named Oscar comes along and puts it all in his house. "I love trash," Oscar said when asked about his job. "Anything dirty, yucky or messy." Moving on, Fig. 1.2, the other exhibit on our tour today, is an outhouse (a.k.a. a port -a-john and man's other best friend). This marvelous sculpture doubles as both a place of privacy and place of business. It stands as a monument to man's drive for success, and a refuge from failure. Throughout the 20th cen-

In vhatever free time she finds, she escapes in a canoe or with a backpack. Byrne grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. She has one brother, olie sister, and two stepsisters. She first attended Texas Western College, now the UnivE;_rsity of Texas at El Paso (UTEP). There, she got her bachelor's of arts in' radio and television film and a master's degree in English.

With help from her husband and the community, Penny Byrne also produced television programming for a local' channel and a public television station in El Paso. Dean Byrne said his wife is ambitious. "She does more things better than anybody else I know," he said. Penny Byrne and her husband made a pact in El Paso that "the first one to get a job in the Rockies would take it and the other would go," said Penny Byrne. At first they weren't too serious about it. Still, she decided to apply for the job of head of USU's communications department. "I didn 't think I would get the position," Penny Byrne said.

Thus did Rod Serling whisk viewers of the famed "Twilight Zone" television series into his theater of the bizarre . If cyberspace as we know it today had existed in the "Twilight Zone" era, Serling's "dimension of mind" might well have applied to one of the virtual worfas on the Internet known as MUDs and MObs. These are maze-like environments in which every "room• within the maze is described entirely in text. No pictures , no graphics, no sounds, just words . You might, for example, enter the maze through "a long, dark hallway lit by crystal chandeliers and' decorated with oil paintings." Moving north, south, east or west shifts you to another spot within the maze having its own unique descnption . Hundreds of MUDs and MOOs are operating on the Internet these days. (The acronyms, by the -..yay;stand for "Multi-User Dungeon" and "MUD, Obje ct Oriented . " ) But what they are is not nearly as interesting as who

occupies them. That's because MUD and MOO players are free to reinvent themselves. Unchained from the constraints of their appearance, socioeconomic class, occupation, age, even gender, anonymous players often try on entirely new personas. A shy accountant might represent himself within the MOO as a bold rodeo rider. A librarian might put herself in the role of roller derby queen. Or vice versa. Fun, but what happens when lines blur between the real self and the virtual one' That's the central conflict in "expectations" (Forge Books, $22.95), a new novel by Middletown author Kit Reed. Reed's book tells the story of Jenny Wilder, a psychologist and suburban housewife who discovers the stimulation of treading in a virtual world and quickly becomes consumed by it. "All this lifel" she declares. "It was unfolding almost too fast for me, you bet I was excited, never saw anything like it, walk into the world's longest-running soap opera and become someone." The intrigue, the romance, the chatter, the mystery - so much more alluring and com pelling than an ordinary chat room. Perhaps especially for a housewife dissatisfied with her marriage and stepchildren. Author Julian Dibble chronicled the real-life politics

and programming of a MOO in his book "My Tiny Life" ($14.95, Owl Books). But in "expectations," Reed deftly exposes the emotional life of MOO players as only a skilled fiction writer can. "I stayed because I couldn't not stay," says Jenny, who uses the alias Zan within the text world of StElene. "One hour within StElene and I was deep in the never-ending story. Hooked. This place I couldn't see but could not stop reading was huge, and it was real." Jenny is like thousands of other players who navigate these virtual worlds through the window of their computers. Among them is Reed herself, who has experience as both a MOO player and as the operator of "StoryMOO," a virtual world she uses to teach writing at Wesleyan University. Part of what makes the experience so compelling is that MUDs and MOOs, like a good novel, engage the imagination solely through words . Without pictures to distract, the mind creates its own vistas. As one character in StElene puts it: "Everything is poten~ tial, with text opening on text with no images to direct or limit the imagination. If pictures limit the imagination, words expand it. Meanings get huge in the mind. A world made out of words is whatever you want to make it."

---~ After scoreless first half, l!Slf Sigh of relief: rallies in second to beat Slflf AARON MORTO"I

Sports Editor

After Texas Tech University scorched them for 505 yards in air, USU 's defense proved itself Saturday against Southern Utah University, s~arking the Aggies to a 30-14 Win .

\Vhile Utah State's offense stagnated , the defense, led by the linebackers, stepped forward to save the first half, forcing a fumble and three interceptions. "I think our defense was the difference in the game," head coach Mick Dennehy said. "Those turnovers were huge." The largest crowd ever to attend the Romney Sta<luim for a game that wasn't against the University of Utah or Brigham Young University watched the Thunderbirds dominate the first half. They racked up 162 yards - 152 mshing from Sl TU's option offense - compared to USU's 52. But the T-birds couldn't put the ball in the encl zone despite plunging inside the USU 15-yar<l line twice, once for a drive that went 54 yards on 14 plays, eating up 6:37 on the clock. SUU led 6-0 at halftime. "I thought the defense responded," Dennehy said. "Bending not breaking. They kept them out, that was huge." And USU bent again on the T-bir<ls' first drive of the second half. The visitors were inside the 20 and running back Clay Denton had picked up another first clown when Brent Passey popped the ball out of Demon's hands. Fellow USU linebacker Cade Smith picked it up and dashe<l -1-7yards to the SUU 21. There the USU offense cashed in on a field goal, cutting the lead in two. After halftime, Jose Fuentes, not Jeff Crosbie , played quarterback. Crosbie stmggled, getting pressured , having passes knocked down and dropped. On the next T-bird drive, Smith again gave USU good field position , intercepting a Matt Cannon screen pass. "That field position was just what the doctor ordered," Dennehy said. The offense that had only managed two first downs the entire first half \Vasgiven the ball at the SUU 15-yard line . The Aggies tried to force runningback Emmett White into the end zone five times before going tu the air on third -and-goal. Aaron Jones made a spect:icular leaping catch in the encl zone to give USU a 10-6 lead. Unlike Jones - who had five passes for 127 yards ·white never got going like he

did a week ago where he rushed for 143 yards. He only managed 2 5 yards Saturday. The momentum snowballed as Fuentes and Jones heated up and the defense continued to make plays. Trailing, Southern Utah decided to go the air more often, challenging the USU secondary that gave up over 500 yards last week in Lubbuck, Texas. That proved to be a mistake when Jesse Busta and AdebolahJimoh both intercepted him . "I was surprised they kept throwing the football," Dennehy said. While SUU struggled, USU was successful in the air. Fuentes completed 10 of 13 passes for 198 yards just in the second half, while Crosbie and Cannon threw for only 55 yards combined. Fuentes had help. Flushed out the pocket early in the fourth quarter, Fuentes under-threw Jones badly. But as SUU's Nick Ervin camped under the ball, Jones jumped in front of him, forcing a mis-tackle on the way to a 70-yard touchdown pass and a 17-6 lead. "Gones) made some really good plays," Fuentes said. "The offensive line gave me time." SUU did make things interesting, returning the ensuing kick-off for a touchdown, only to be taken back by an illegal block call. Just two minutes later, the Aggies had the ball again. Fuentes only needed three passing plays to score, capping the 49-yard drive with a 21yard strike to Jones again. USU looked to stretch the lead to 18 with the extra point, but the snap sailed over Crosbie's head. T-bird Ryan Smith picked up the ball and returned it to the end zone for two points in a bizarre play. Both USU and SUU would complete pass-plays for touchdowns as the T-birds found an odd way to 14 points (Two field goals, 2-point conversion and a touchdown with a failed conversion). The Aggies added an insurance touchdown with seven minutes remaining in the game. Fuentes hit David Fiefia this time on a 34-yard score. It certainly wasn't a perfect game for the Aggies, who had trouble pinning down SUU's strong rushing defense and was penalized for 78 yards. "We're not the brightest light on the Christmas tree," Dennehy said of the penalties. The Aggies will take this weekend off to prepare for a tough match against Pac-10 opponent Arizona State on Sept. 2 3. USU returns home on Sept. 30 against Utah.

Titillating tidbits: SUU vs. Utah St. Welcome back fans

Wasn't it refreshing to see a nearly full Romney Stadium Saturday night? A total of 26,715 fans showed up for the contest against SUU the largest crowd ever at a non-Utah or BYU game. That's nearly 2,000 more than projected - very satisfying after seeing only 8,129 in the stands in tne final home game last season.

Backup Fuentes sparks the l!Slf second-half explosion Sophomore quarterback Jose Fuentes was the spark the Aggies needed to ignite their offense in the second half of Saturday's 30-14 victory over Southern Utah University. Fuentes warmed up during the first half and said he was ready to come in at the beginning of the third quarter. "Coach (Dennehy) told me to warm up , and that's what I did," Fuentes said . "At halftime, (Dennehy) said I'd get the first series." Starting quarterback Jeff Crosbie struggled through the first half, completing five of 15 passes, with a total of 27 passing yards. With Fuentes on the field, the Aggies were able to complete 10 of 13 passes for a total of 198 yards and four touchdowns. Fuentes said he credits his teammates with his success and the Aggie's victory . "My teammates realf y helped me out. A lot of them made plays for me," said Fuentes. "Defense played great. They picked it up, it was unbelievable. They gave us good field position ." USU head coach Mick Dennehy isn't commenting on who will be starting quarterback for USU's next game, when the Aggies will face Arizona State University . Fuentes said

The Utah State women's volleyball team won two of three games at the Montana State Tournament over the weekend. The team's overall record now stands at 4-3. The Aggies' only defeat came against host Montana State University Friday. USU forced the Bobcats to five games before losing the match 20-18, 12-15, 15-7, 11-15 and 14-16. MSU beat the Aggies in nearly every category. The Aggies were out-hit, .233 to .220, out-dug, 58-54, and outblocked, 13-11. They also struggled serving the ball, committing 20 service errors in the match. "'Ve just can't seem to play well at the right times, and our experienced players are committing errors at crucial times of the match," said head coach Tom Peterson of the loss·.

One can only cringe at what might have happened to the Romney Stadium faithful in upcoming home games had the Division 1-AA Thunderbirds beaten the Aggies.

The Aggies' victory over SUU earned them the distinction of being the onlr major Utah college footbal squad with a win on Saturday.

we are going to have a hard time winning matches ." In a complete turn around, USU gave the University of Oklahoma its first loss of the season , defuatingtheSoone~ Saturday in just three games (15-5, 15- 7, 15- 3) The Aggies hit a total .360 percent while holding Oklahoma to .(HO.USU also improved its serving against Oklahoma, with only seven errors and five aces: Seniors Melissa Schoepf and Denae Mohlman tallied 10 kills apiece and Schoepf hit a team-high .47+ in the match. Junior setter Chelsi Neves, appearing in her first season at the Division I-A level, contributed to the win with eight digs, two block assists and 34 assists. Peterson said he was pleased with the way his team responded after its loss toMSU. "\Ve played a well-rounded match and really took it to a very good Big 12 team

in Oklahoma," Peterson said. In the final match of the tournament, USU defeated Colgate University in three games (15-11, 15-6, 15-6). The only Aggie to record double digit kills was Mohlman, with 10. The Aggies hit just .194 collec- , tively . This was enough, however, as Colgate only managed a .110 hitting percentage. Peterson said his team made more errors in the match than it needed to . He said using a different lineup in each game may have contributed to some of the confusion . "We need to be more consistent as a team," he said. The USU women's volleyball team will open its home season vs. Brigham Young University tomorrow. Alltime, U SU is 9-35 against the Cougars.

The numbers on the new uniforms may be too hard to read. The press box debated for about half an hour over who returned the fumble for 47 yards. Was it Blake Eagal or Cade Smith? It turned out to be Smith, whose number 42 looked a lot like Eagal's number 47 in the midst of the action. Eagal said he recieved congratulations from teammates on the sidelines for plays he had nothing to do with. The announcer attributed tackles to him when the credit belonged to Smith. The announcer also mistakenly credited several John Roberts' rushes to Emmett White. New Uniforms part II

Equipment manager Mike Bair said the new uniforms were patterned after the New York Jets'. It just happened a representative from the Jets attended the game. Was he scouting SUU's Matt Cannon or USU linebackers Passey and Eagal, or was he just making sure the uniforms met his specifications? Better think again after all that confusion over the numbers. How 'bout Cade?

Any doubts that linebacker Cade Smith can't fill the shoes of Tony Newson should be eradicated by now. Smith's eight tackles (one for a loss), fumble return of 47 yards and interception return of 10 yards vs. the T-birds signals Smith 's arrival as an equal to fellow linebackers Brent Passey and Blake Eagal.

sarm d~feats Sampras, wins U.S. Open STEVE WILSTEIN

Associated Press

NEW YORK- Marat Safin, a giant with a peach-fuzz face and a grown-up game, turned Pete Sampras into a weekend hacker. · In as thorough a thrashing as anyone has ever given the career Grand Slam dtampion, the 20year-old Safin ivon the U.S. Open 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 Sunday and stamped him.selfas the player of the future in mens tennis.

Boyish and emotional and blessed with talents beyond his natural power, Safin celebrated by getting down on his knees and kissing the court in Arthur Ashe Stadium. The youngest champion since Sampras won the first of his four U.S. Open titles a decade ago, Safin won his first major title in the most lopsided victory over a fonner champion in 25 years. "He reminded me of myself when I was 19 and came here and won for the first time,"

Sampras said. "He passed and rerurned my serve as well as anyone I've ever played." Safin, serving at up to 136 mph and whacking a dozen aces to push his tournament total to 115,never faced so much as a single break point until the last game when Sampras finally got two. Safin wiped those away quickly, and closed out the 1hour, 38-minut e match with a backhand pass that zipped by Sampras as so many others had before.

CIIIIBLIADIIIG TRY-OUTS Thurs. Sept. 14 at noon

'---:I

What looked to be a tight game took a downhill plunge Saturday afternoo n at Tower Field, an d the USU men's soccer team watched \Veber State Un iversity cruise to a 6-1 win. T he Wildcats jumped out of the gate quickly, creating three corner-kick opportuni ties within the first five minutes an d using team speed to put constant pressure on the Aggie defense. USU head coach Kyle Jacobse n said Weber State capitalized on Aggie commu nication problems . "Communication is a big factor in soccer, and it didn't happen for us today," he said. "Most of the goals that were scored against us were because of communication problems." The Aggies avoided disaster on those kicks and made a nice header clearance on a Wildcat cross to the far right post. However, persistent Wildca t attacks eventually broke through.

They took an early 1-0 lead as Wildcat forward Isaac Felix tracked a ball down the middle and found the lower right hand corner of the net. Th e Aggies·continued the ir attack, despite the early deficit, and created a couple of scoring chances of their own by· drawing free kicks off Webe r fouls. They narrowly 'missed a header opportunity off Kevin Gr ange's free kick from 3 5 yards out. Weber State's next foul was costly. Neal Obray was taken down in the penalty box, giving the Aggies a penalty kick. J ames Barnar d took advantage, easily beating the Wildca t goalkeeper to tie the game at 1- 1.

Unfortunate ly for the Aggies, WSU seized momentum from there on. Although Aggie defender Treagan White made an alert save after goalkeeper Paul Dowdy was beaten, the Wildcats capitalized on two more chances before halftime. The second of these goals, a loose ball header after an aero-

batic save by Dowdy, seemed to take the wind out of the Aggies' sails. The second half wasn't much different. Weber State's speedy attacks and crisp passes created several more scoring changes on all areas of the field. Three second -half goals, including one created off a shifty crossover dribble, added insult to injury. Defender Todd Colocino said the Wildcats' team speed and cohesiveness allowed them to get good shots. The Aggies only have five returning players. "We're still coming togeth er," he said. "Hopefully we can pull together and get our heads up and play confident this afternoon (against No rt hern Arizona)." "We gave a good effort," Jacobsen said in reaction to his team's performance. "We play hard, but we don't play smart sometimes." The game scheduled against the Univers ity of Northern Arizona on Friday was canceled.

Athletic Media Relations

REX W. HUPPKE

AssociatedPress BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Bob Knight is out at Indiana, ending three tumultuous decades at a school where he was one of basketball's best coaches but also one of its most volatile, The AssociatedPresshas learned. Already in trouble for a history of misconduct, Knight's temper finally did him in when he grabbed a student by the arm last week to lecture him about manners. The coach had been under a "zero-tolerance" school policy that included no "inappropriate" physical contact with students. The president of Indiana University scheduled a news conference for Sunday in Indianapolis. A school source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the AP that Knight would no longer be coach at Indiana, but it was not immediately clear whether he had been fired or allowed to resign. Knight held a news conference Friday to explain his side of the story, the day after his confrontation with the student, 19-year-old freshman Kent Harvey. The coach said he didn't curse at Harvey, stepson of a Knight critic and former local talk radio show host, but did briefly hold his arm and lecture him. The teen-ager had said, "Hey, what's up, Knight?" as they crossed paths at Assembly Hall, a greeting the coach deemed disrespectful. Others reporting that Knight had been fired or resigned included radio station WIBC in Indianapolis, ESPN.com and CBS Sportsline.com. School spokesman Christopher Simpson would neither confirm nor deny whether Knight - who has won three national titles and has been at Indiana sin~!:ll~~l. .L had been fired or resign@ He would only say that university president Myles Brand would discuss at the news conference the latest accusations against Knight. WIBC cited sources close to the athletic department who said Knight was informed that he had been dismissed Sunday morning while he was in Canada. Knight's behavior, which has included verbal and physical abuse of players, has been a problem since he took over the Hoosiers in I 971. The 59year-old coach, a member of the Hall of Fame, has one of the game's most notorious tempers - throwing chairs across the court, stuffing a fan m a garbage can, scuffling with Puerto Rico police and kicking his own son on the bench. Last spring, he was accused of choking one of his players during practice in 1997, an act caught on videotape. Following a school investigation into that accusation and others, Indiana warned Knight in M:1y that he was under a zero-tolerance policy. The university also suspended him for three games and fined him $30,000. The school never fully derailed its code of conduct. The university trustees were to review the newly drafted code, which would apply to all coaches and athletes. School trustee Stephen Backer said last week that Knight would be wise to avoid anv ~nm-ins with students pl.iyers or others. ' "If he does anything that is going to denigrate or tarnish the university, he is 511oin11 to b leave us no choice. He shouldn't continue to push us," Ricker said . .Meanwhile, Harvey and his two brothers have received numerous threats by phone and e-mail, said their stepfather Mark Shaw. He said the teens never wanted to see Knight fired. An apology from the coach was all they wanted. Harvey and his brothers want to stay at Indiana Shaw said, and university officials h~ve assured their family they will do whatever is necessary to ensure the Harv~ys' safety. "\Ve'll have to see how that plays out. It's terrifying," Shaw said.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -Three Aggie golfers had their best round of the54-hole Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate golf tournament on Sunday, but Utah State could not finish higher than ninth in the 12team tournament. Kevin Peterson fired a oneover par 71 on Sunday after shooting a pair of 7 6s on Saturday. His 223 score tied him for 31st overall, while Kevin Blotter was the top overall USU finisher tying for 25th at 222. Nate Blotter bounced back from rounds of 76 and 75 on the opening day to shoot 73 on

Sunday, while Chris Olsen's 7-t was better than his 76 and 81 from Saturday.

Golf Digest Magazine: "Four-Star Course!"

STUDENT

AssociatedPress OAKVILLE, Ontario Tiger Woods has a shot for every occasion. Pushed to the limits by an unlikely challenger, Woods completed golf's great summer in style Sunday with a 6-iron from a fairway bunker, over the water and right at the flag, to win the Canadian Open by one stroke over Grant Waite. ''When pressure is at its peak, that's when your concentration level is at its highest," Woods said. "It builds to a crescendo." Woods chipped from the back of the green to a foot and tapped in for birdie to close out a 7-under-par 65 and his fifth victory in seven tournaments this summer. Three of them were majors, one of them gave him the career Grand Slam and all of them were filled with unforgettable shots. · All five victories included

some kind of scoring record 12 under at the U.S. Open, 19 under at the British, 18 under at the PGA and a 21-under 2 59 at Firestone. \Voods was 22 under over his final 49 holes and finished at 266, the lowest 72-hole score in the 22 years that the Canadian Open has been played at Glen Abbey Golf Club. "I've had a wonderful summer," Woods said. He was nearly flawless on Sunday, and had to be. \Vaite, a runner-up for the second straight week in Canada, matched him stroke-for-stroke and put the pressure on with a 5-iron into the par-5 18th green that left him a 20-foot eagle attempt that could have forced a playoff or perhaps snatched a victory away from vVoods. "Grant forced my hand," \Voods said. \Voods went right at the flag, the ball landed about 18 feet behind the hole. \Vaite missed

his eagle try and had to settle for a 66 and one stroke short of winning, just like he was in Vancouver last week. "My goal was not to get too caught up in the hype," Waite said. "I gave him a run for the money." Indeed, neither player made a bogey and they combined for 13 birdies to tum the final round into a memorable duel. "The only way to beat him is to outplay him," \Vaite said. "Right now, that's a diffimlt task. He's an extraordinary player who comes along once every generation - or his this case, maybe once in forever." \Voods won for the third straight time, and for the ninth time this year, the most PGA Tour victories in one year since Sam Snead won 11 times in 1950. He earned $594,000, giving him more money in his last 38 tournaments- $14.9 million - than anyone else in their career.

Thankyou, Aggiefans, keep the stadiumpacked Kudos to Utah State University fans who showed up to the USU vs. Southern Utah University football game Saturday in droves. The crowd, which totalled approximately 26,700 people, marked the largest turnout in USU's history to show up to a non-Brigham Young University or University of Utah game. That's not bad, considering the Aggies were beaten by 22 points at their first game of the season Sept. 2. Additionally, those fans who did show up were on the whole enthusiastic and courteous - to the not-so-bitter end. They were packed like sardines in Romney Stadium all the way back to the

nose-bleed section. As every football coach will attest, the crowd can have a serious impact on a team's performance. The home advantage is touted by media and teams everywhere. Our Aggies, whether they play footba II, ba sketba II, vo 11 eyba II, soccer, etc., deserve that advantage. An excellent opportunity exists for USU to show support for teams that don't usually get enough of it. The women's volleyball team will be playing against BYU tomorrow at 7 p.m. in the Spectrum. Get out and show your support.

I spent the past summer in San Francisco, and one of the strongest and most recurring themes you couldn't help but notice was the homeless. Even though there is the rare occurrence of this issu'e in Logan, all you have to do is spend a weekend in Salt Lake in the downtown district to know we are not immune to this reality. Homelessness is one of those few issues that quite literally looks you in the eye, reminding you that this issue hasn't been dealt with yet. For those of who have the human decency to choose a profession attempt to help some of these poverty stricken people, I've realized what we are paying them for. We are paying them to look them in the eyes, to recognize that there is a problem and that yes we are willing to help. Have you ever watched people walking by a homeless person? They avoid eye contact, or any type of human recognition. Then there's the number one thing going through the mind of the person as they pass by;

that this bum is a scam artist, that there is nothing really wrong with this person. The truth is that sometimes, only sometimes this is the case. Remember they are the minority, just like women officers in the military; there are a lot less of them. Most of these cardboard box condominium carrying people have been dealt the type of cards that makes Dante 's "Inferno" look like Family Circus and that's the honest truth. Do I feel sorry for all of them? Yes but at the same ti me some of these people seem very capable. Street performers give a sometimes very welcome performance that deserves a I ittle siIver or green for their efforts. My problem lies with these young kids who just sit on a box, holding up a "will work for food" cardboard sign and not even asking people for some change. That is plain laziness. If you see someone like that do what I do, go to a fast food place get a $.99 burger go back to that person. Tell them to pick up the trash on the street corner their sitting on. If they do, give them the burger. If they don't, stand out there next to them with an even bigger sign that says "This Vagrant Next To Me Is A Liar!" and eat the burger while your there. The point still remains that homelessness is a problem what not only needs to be addressed but also needs

to be acted upon. There are solutions out there. You want to see something truly sad, a homeless person sleeping on the doorsteps of a boarded up apartment building. Why is it possible that something like that should even exist. There are countless numbers of buildings that are not being used to their full efficiency. We have a House of Representatives, where those without a house are not being represented. Stop waiting for Congress to do something about it, they do not have that much time. Help by giving money to homeless charities or better than money, give your time to help out at a shelter, or even sponsor a food drive for the homeless. We cannot continue to darken our car windows until we cannot see the problem that is out there. If you do they will simply approach your car, spit on your windshield, since that's the only thing they have left, and wipe it off with their sleeve hoping to get a quarter out of their attempt of working for a living. This nation was once believed to be the land opportunity. I say we make sure that opportunity includes a meal and a bed that does not have the words this end up anywhere near it. The Way I See it appears every Monday in The Statesman.

Americans should value time as well as money ~

~INSIGHT JeromeM.Segal,

Washington Post It's worth considering during this, America's longest period of economic expansion, whether we're making the right choice. Choice ... er, what choice? That, of course, is the point. We've made a choice about how much we work, and don't even know it. There are two ways to reap the benefits of increased productivity (the expansion of what is produced per unit of labor time): We can keep total work hours constant and increase output, or we can keep tota I output fixed and increase leisure. For much of our history, the benefits of greater productivity were split between increasing output and increasing leisure. From the mid-19th century through the first decades of the 20th century, the nonfarm work week shrank by nearly 50 percent. Indeed, in 1933, Congress almost enacted a six-hour workday: Legislation to creale the 30-

hour work week passed in the Senate but died in the House. But over the past 60 years, there been few victories for the leisure advocates. On top of that, the American family has suffered a staggering counterrevolution. When married women broke the cultural and economic barriers to their participation in the paid work force, we could have had an offsetting reduction in the number of hours men worked. We didn't, thus missing the opportunity to change our dominant model for household income from one 40-hour-a-week job to, say, two 25- or 30-hour jobs. Instead, without full awareness of the magnitude of the choices we were making as a society, we shifted the norm to two 40-hour jobs. So work outside the home for today's two-earner families has risen to levels not seen in 150 years. No wonder Americans feel stretched. The choice about how much to work is complex. Some people work long hours because they have to, others because they want to. But what is striking is that labor markets provide so few choices. When it comes to spending money, we can buy as

much or as little as we want of whatever the market offers, within the limits of our income. But selling our labor is a different story: A job offer almost always comes as a fixed package. The employer defines "full-time" work and determines weekly hours, vacations, sick days, even overtime requirements. Those who want to work less can sometimes find part-time options, which usually come with stiff penalties in terms of career path. In the new economy, some are succeeding in tailor-making their work online, but they remain a distinct minority. Defining work time, however, isn't a matter only for the individual buyers and sellers of labor. Collectively, we make decisions about the general trade-off between work and leisure.

action has failed to uplift minorities and women to any significant degree, especially in faculty jobs , and that white men continue to enjoy dominance, notwithstanding some erosion· of their exclusivity. A system of preferences has not been created in higher education positions for minorities and women. The advance of minorities and women in the academic marketplace, though discernible, has been modest. Affirmative action , there-

If we are to seek a new balance between work and leisure, the vehicle likely will be the political process. There are many ways to respond to America's time crunch. The best is a gradual but powerful transformation by adding two new holidaysu each year, over the next two presidential terms. With 16 new holidays added to the 10 existing ones, we could have what amounts to a three-day weekend every other week. I would, however , retain the five-day school week, giving parents two days a month to themselves . (Who knows? That might even cut the divorce rate.) Scattered among Fridays for some and Mondays for others, the disruption in business practices could be minimized.

What would we have to give up if we choose to divide the benefits of productivity growth between increased income and increased leisure?

Parentssay UtahCountycommissioner startedaltercationwith9-year-oldchild SPRINGVILLE, Utah (AP) - Utah County Commissioner David Gardner's run-in with a 9year-old child left the boy cowering in a corner of his home, trying to telephone a parent, says another parent whose son witnessed the dispute. Gardner, 44, is charged with disorderly conduct after allegedly manhandling and scolding the boy in a July 29 spat over a broken flashlight. The boy's parents, Chris and Shyan Valentine, had been quiet until Gardner's attorney blamed their son for the incident. That prompted the Springville couple to tell their side in a copyright story in The Salt Lake Tribune on Saturday. Police say Gardner was angered at hearing th:it the Valentine's son had blamed his 13-yearold son of breaking the Valentine's flashlight that he hopped the fence into the Valentine's yard, picked up the boy by the neck, and set him down on the fender of a trailer, screaming at him and poking him in the stomach. On Tuesday, at a pretrial hearing, Gardner's attorney, Michael Esplin, told reporters that Gardner merely grabbed the boy's arn1 and gave him a stern lecture. The attorney said the incident was part of a feud started by illegal fireworks the Valentines set off July 24. Esplin also accused the Valentines' son of egging Gardner's home, swearing and calling Gardner names . The Valentines said they have been friendly neighbors with the Gardners for 2 l/2 years until the Valentines moved into a new home a few weeks ago. Chris Valentine said both families set off illegal fireworks on July 24th. Shyan Valentine said

the real problem on Pioneer Day started when her son shined his flashlight in the faces of Gardner's children, prompting Gardner's 13year-old son to take the flashlight away. vVhen the mother asked for the flashlight back, the 13year-old said he broke it, says Shyan Valentine. The Valentines admit their son then called the teen a name and tossed an egg onto the Gardner's driveway a few days before the July 29 confrontation. But that doesn't excuse Gardner's actions, say the Valentines. "He picked my son up by the neck with one hand and set him down," Chris Valentine said. "Then he picked him up again and set him on the wheel well of our trailer. He picked him up by the neck high enough that he was able to set his feet on the wheel well." Shawn Guzman, a Springville planning com missioner who lived several houses down, said he heard the screaming and was inclined to ignore it. "But it became so ugly and violent that I grew concerned," he said. He saw the end of the confrontation and the boys ran into the Valentine's home as Gardner went into his. Guzman said he found Valentine's son crouched in a corner. The Valentines argue Gardner should be facing a more serious charge of child abuse. Gardner will stand trial Oct. 24 in Springville Justice Court. If com~cted on the disorderly charge, he could be sentenced to 6 months in jail and fined $1,850 for violating his court agreement entered into last fall after pleading no contest to a drunken dri,~n g charge.

Prosecutorto removehimselffrom murdercase BRIGHA.i\1 CITY, Utah (AP) - The family of a man murdered in 1984 is frustrated that it has taken so long for charges to be filed in the case and have asked the prosecutor remove himself from the case. At the same time, Box Elder County sheriff's investigators say they have uncovered new evidence that ties two Utah residents to the slaying. On Thursday, Bradley Newell Perry's family sent a letter to Box Elder County Attorney John Bunderson, asking him to step down from the investigation and turn it over to the Utah Attorney General's office. Lee Perry, the victim's younger brother who is also an investigator with the Utah Department of Public Safety, wrote the letter, which called Bunderson incompetent and said he had misled the family about the status of the case. "Charges in this case should have been filed three months ago, but for whatever reason, (Bunderson) has chosen not to," said Lee Perry, the victim's younger brother and an investigator with the Utah Department of Public Safety. "If he would step down, I believe the case would he

filed." Bunderson told the Deseret News he had seen the lett er, but wouldn't comment. New ell Perry was killed in th e early mornin g hours of .May26, 1984, while working at the family gas station. Police believe rwo suspects stabbed Perr\ ' 15 times and hit him in the head with several large objects. The Box Elder County Sheriff's D epartment and experts from the Uta h criminal Tracking and Analysis Project hnve been snidyi ng the evidence and discussed the case on Aug. 31. Bunderson said he had to be in court anJ didn't attend. "There's no question in my mind he's a liar," Perry said. The Perrys believe there is enough evidence for arrest warrants to be issued. Earlier this week, Bunderson told the Deseret News he was not close to issuing any warrant~. "I've never seen a D.A. so afraid to file charges," Lee Perry said. The Perrys said one suspect is already in prison for another cnme, but they worry the other may flee.

FORT WORTH, Texas

Fragrance

(AP) - The bloodstained pews have been replaced at \Nedgwood Baptist Church and bullet holes riddling the hallways have been patched. A small hole in a sancniary door is the only sign of the oneman shooting rampage in which eight were killed and seven wounded nearly a year ago. The 2,500 members of the congregation have tried to move forward, refusing to let the eight-minute massacre define their church. Still, healing has been a slow process. They have cried together, read the Bible together and prayed together. Their faith has been shaken, but now they are stronger. "Ultimately, it was the grace of C'n>dthat sustained us," said pastor Al Meredith. Wedgwood Baptist was holding a community youth rally on Sept. 15, 1999, for "See You at the Pole" day, a national event in which teens pray around their school flagpoles. Justin Ray, a lanky 17-year-old who had recently dyed his strawberry blond hair bright red to amuse his friends, was excited about the rally, which he planned to videotape. Justin went to the church that afternoon to help a band set up. He made a quick trip home to cancel dinner plans with his mother, Judy Stegner, but promised to make it up to her. "The last thing he said was, 'Don't forget to wash my blue shirts because I have to work tomorrow,"' Stegner recalled . "Then he said, 'I love you.' " The music was thumping when Larry Ac;hbrook, who had no connecoon with the church, walked in with two guns, 200 · rounds of ammunition and a pipe bomb hidden in his pockets. He seemed angry, witnesses said later, and asked about the service. Then he opened fire at a group sitting in the lobby, and kept shooting as he walked down the hall and into the sanctuary filled with 400 people. He cursed and yelled, emptying clip after clip of bullet5, and rolled his bomb down the aisle. The 47-year -o ld, mentally ill man then sat in a back pew and shot himself in the head. He had killed and six others: Kristi Becke, Joseph Ennis and Cassie Griffin, all 14; Kim Jones, 23; Shawn Brown, 23; and Sydney Browning, 36. "That night at church, Justin was doing what he loved to do and wanted to do, and I'm very grateful for that," Stegner said, wiping away tears. Four days after the shooting, the church held its regular Sunday service in the sanctuary, where the bloodied carpet and damaged pews had been removed. Meredith felt that carrying on would start the healing process. "The prince of darkness wanted to stop this church, but I didn't want to give him an inch," Meredith said. "\,Ve were not going to let this stop us." The church received encouragement and prayers from all over the world - 13,000 emails and 20,000 cards. Kevin Galey, a \Vedgwood counselor who was shot in the abdomen and hip, wanted to help others deal with their grief, fear and guilt but had to cope with his own emotions. "I wonder why it happened. But men make their own choic es, and Larry Ashbrook chose to walk into our church and kill people," he said. "If God intervened every time, we'd all be robots.'' Justin Laird, who will turn 17 on the first anniversary of the shootin g, is paralyzed from the chest down, the most severely injur ed of th e wound ed. The former football player at Brewer High School still helps with th~ team and pians to be a coach. "It's been a roller coaster, but we've tried to remain positive and trust in the Lord's plan," said his mother, Lori Laird. "It's brou ght us closer together as a family and made us realize that you don't know what th e next five minutes are going to bring, mu ch less tomorrow."

tapes were always of paramount concern," one of the officials said. Lee said earlier that he had destroyed the seven tapes, but the officials' comments indicated thev believed the tapes might still exist. Lee's defense attornevs said they had been asked not to comment on the settlement. District Judge James Parker said a hearing had been scheduled for Monday on Lee's plea agreement. Lawyers had been expected to argue Monday before an appeals court in Denver on whether Lee should be released on bail. The plea agreement cancels that hearing, the sources said. The sources said Lee will plead guilty to one of the 59 counts against him of unlawful gathering of national defense informati on. He also will agree to hold himself completely availahle for federal investigators and cooperate with them over the next six months. It was also expected that Lee would drop his allegations that prosecutors went after him because he is Chinese-

American. "This is a favorable resolution," one of the sources said Sunday, adding that it was a good outcome for both sides. Lee, 60, was accused of downloading restricted material about nuclear weapons to unsecured computers and tapes while working at Los Alamos National Labor ato1y. His trial had been set for Nov. 6, 3nJ he could have faced life in prison if convicted of all 59 counts. Lee has been jailed since his arrest Dec. 10. Parker signed a release order for Lee to be freed on $1 million bail last month before the 10th Circuit stayed his order. Parker had set strict conditions for his release, including electronic monitoring, restrictions on travel and limits on the numher of people with whom Lee could communicate. It was not immediatelv known if those conditions would still be enforced under the plea agreeme,1t. Prosecutors have said rele,1sing Lee would be a risk because he could pass on the tapes or

communicate their contents to foreign governments. Many scientific groups have protested the conditions of the Taiwan-born Lee's arrest, saying he has been the target of ethnic and racial profiling by the government. "lr's an astonishing development and an amazing retreat by the government," said Steve Afte~good, "ho directs the Project on Government Secrecy at the Fe<le1Jtion of American Scientists in Washington, D.C. "They had evidently decided he was not working in the interest of a foreign power or to the detriment of the United States. It's onlv regrettable that conclusion ,~·as not reached many months ago." In the White Rock neighborhood where Lee lives, his neighbors Don and Jean .Marshall s,1idthey were planning a "\Velc.:omeHome" party.

AssociatedPress \VASHI)JGTOi\" (AP) - The entertainment industry routinely markets to young people violent movies, video games and music, ignoring its own rating guidelines for age-sensitive material, federal regulators say in a report. The study, to he released ;\,1onday by the Federal Trade Commission, offers a tough indictment of the industry's practices. It cites the use of a broad range of advertising and marketing to reach youths with products rated for adults, according to sources familiar with the report's contents. The conclusions are derived in part from documents submitted by the industry itsdf, including marketing plans that demonstrate the efforts of comp,rnies to advertise to young audiences materials designated for adults, the sources said. Both the movie and video game industries have age-based rating code systems. Films rated R, for example, require an adult to accompany children under 17. ViJeo games have their own code that includes an "i\tl" rating indicating the product is intended for mamre ,1udiences ages 17 and older. The recording industry has a more general label that warns of explicit content in music. ITC spokesman Eric London declined to comment on specifics of the report, the product of a yearlong investigation ordered by President Clinton. He said the stuc.lv would be noteworthy for "the light that it 'sheds on how this kind of entertainment material is marketed by the industry itself," London said. The report includes a survey of marketing practices and found most of the R-rated films and M-rated video games surveyed included promotional efforts targeting underage audiences . The report does not suggest legislation. The FTC does seek more effective self-regulation of marketing practices by content makers and enforcement of rating codes by retailers and theaters. Sen. Joseph Lieherman of Connecticut, the Democratic candidate for vice president, changed his campaign schedule to fly to Chicago so he and Democratic nominee Al Gore could appear Monday on television interviews, campaign officials said, to discuss the ITC report.

Lieberman has heen a leading critic in Congress of the entertainment industry on the issue. Campaign officials said he would have no comment Sunday on the report. The Senate Commerce Committee 1s to hold a hearing \Vec.lnesday on the findings, with Lieberman scheduled to attend. He and Commerce Committee Chairman Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. , hacked an amendment by Sen. Sam Brownback , R-Kan., that passed the Senate last year requesting the study. Shortly afterward, Clinton ordered the report himself and paid for it with \\'hitc House monev. His announcement came after a spate of deadly shootings in the nation's schools, and the president said the barrage of violence fee.Ito young people through entertainmentbl.ufs the line hetween "fantasy and realirv v-~cd." Industry leaders questioned what conc lusions the government could draw from scrutinizing Hollywo od. "If we arc causing moral decay in this country, we ought to have an explosion of crime," Jack Valenti, head of the 1\1otion Picture Association of America, said Sunday. "The exact opposite is happening." He argued that any evaluation of the marketing practices of movie makers can only be subjective and praised Hollywood's threedecades-old voluntary code in informing parents. "For almost 32 years, this indu stry has been the only segment of our national marketplace that voluntarily turns away revenues at the box office to redeem the pledge that we have made to parents ," Valenti said. Video game makers stress that more than 70 percent of their users are over 18. According to the Interactive Digital Software Association, the industry trade group, adults buy nine of every 10 video and computer games sold in the United States . Only 7 percent of video games sold and rated since 1995 fall into the mature category. Still, some retailers have pledged to ramp up enforcement of the code. On Thursday, Kmart announced that it would stop selling mature-rated games to anyone under 17, using a barcode scanner that will prompt cashiers to ask for identification from youths. \Val-.'v1art said it would adopt a similar policy. Some stores, including Montgomery \Vard and Sears, Roebuck and Co., have stopped selling the M-rated games altogether.

Californiato offer nation's largest scholarshipprogram,coveringtuition SACRAivlE)JTO, Calif. (AP) - Gov. Gray Davis is expected to sign a hill on _\fonday that will create the nation's largest state scholarship program, covering college tuition for an estimated 100,000 California high school ~raduates each year. "For the first time in California, every student at every high school who works hard to maintain grades high enough to obtain admission to college or university, but needs a financial boost, will be guaranteed financial aid to pursue an advanced degree," the democratic governor said it touting the plan. High school graduates with at least a "C" average and finandal need will be eligible for either full tuition at one of the state's public universities or up to $9,700 annually to attend a private college under the program. The only requirements: Recipients must maintain a full class load and remain in "good a·cademic standing," typically meaning a "C" average or better. i\"o repayment is necessary. The $1 billion program will dramatically expand the state's existing scholarship program, known as Cal Grants. According to the Governor's Finance Department, which writes the state's budgets, it will create the lar gest state scholarship program in the

nation. "California is putting its cards on the table. It's making this an entitlement. That's gutsy," Trav is Reindl, a po licy analyst for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, said in Saturday's \Vashington Post. Last year, some 133,000 eligible students applied for Cal Grant aid for the first time but three out of five were passed over when the money ran out. Davis' office said the expanded program likely will c.:ostabout ~1.2 hillion annually after it fully takes effect in 2006. Money for the expanded program is coming from a $12 billion budget surplus, the state's largest surplus ever. To be eligible, students with family incomes of $33,700 or less for a family of four will have to have at least a 2.0 gradepoint average. Those with a family income up to $64,100 for a family of four and at leas t a 3 .0 gradepoint average will also be eligible. "This historic agreement sends a message to all students: If you do your part to succeed, we'll do our part to make every opportunity avai !able," Davis said.

Nude table tennis is this year's 'can't miss' Olympic event Every four years, athletes from all over the world gather to compete in an event that truly epitomizes the purity and noncommercialism of Dave amateur sports: The Coca-Cola IBM John Barry Hancock Visa UPS McDonald's Kodak Panasonic Samsung S p o r t s 11lustrated/Ti me Xerox Olympic Games, brought to you by NBC. I don't know about you, but I expect to be literally glued to my TV set from the start of the opening ceremonies until the dramatic moment, three weeks later, when the opening ceremonies finally end, and the first actual athletic event (the women's 300-kilometer balloon toss) gets under way. I don't want to miss a single second of the competition! Unless, of course, the competition is won by a foreigner. I frankly wonder why foreigners are even allowed to compete in the Olympics. They're always messing up the drama for American TV viewers. Like, NBC will broadcast a heart-

event. In the modern Olympics, of course, the athletes wear clothes, except in table tennis, which is why this sport is never shown on television. Another difference between old and new is that the modern Olympics are strictly governed by the International Olympic Committee, whose members insure the integrity of the games by relentlessly accepting lavish hospitality and gifts from people seeking favors. Unfortunately, in recent years the IOC has been tainted by allegations of bribery, especially after it voted to award the 2004 summer Olympics to a man identified only as ''Big Tony," who plans to use them as entertainment at his daughter's wedding. But this is no time to think of scandal. This is the time to focus on the games now going on in Australia, which is popularly known, because of its location at the bottom of the globe, as "the Emerald Isle." This is an odd place to hold the summer Olympics, because Australia is, believe it or not, just getting out of winter! That's correct: Because Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere, everything is backwards: When they sing "The Twelve Days of Christmas," they start with the part about 12 maids a-milking (cq); and when they tell jokes, the punchline is always "Knock

warming, sentimental, in-depth profile of an American athlete, showing how, through grit and determination, he overcame a disadvantage that would have stymied a lesser person, such as being born without a head. So the American viewers are naturally expecting to see this person win a gold medal -- and then he gets beat by some athlete from some dirtball vowel-impaired nation with a name like "Gzkmnzksrygyztan" that doesn't even HAVE McDonald's! I hate it when that happens, and so do the people at NBC. That's what led to that memorable moment during the 1996 Atlanta games, when the American favorite in the men's 1,500-meter hurdles was nearly defeated by a foreigner, who lost only because he had to run the final 250 mecers with Bob Costas clinging to his leg. Yes, the competitive spirit is fierce in the Olympics. It has been this way since way back in 776 B.C., when the ancient Greeks held the first Olympic games, sponsored by Ted's Discount House of Hemlock. In those days, the athletes competed naked, which as you can imagine meant that there was always a large audience, especially for the trampoline

The flame traveled all the way from Atlanta via a torch relay: Runners took turns carrying it across the United States to California, where it was handed to a plucky young amateur swimmer named Timmy, who, as an enthusiastic crowd cheered him on, plunged into the surf and began his epic journey, making it nearly to the end of the Santa Monica pier before the sharks got him, only 7,500 miles short of his goal. So they had to light the Eternal Flame in Sydney with a Bic, the Official Disposable Butane Lighter of the Olympic Games. Yes, overcoming adversity is what the Olympic spirit is all about. Let us not forget the words of the solemn prayer spoken by the ancient Greek athletes as they prepared to compete: "Pi epsilon zeta, tau omega, sigma chi" (lite rally, "I hope somebody invents some kind of supporter").

Democrats focusing on fund raising, education SANDRA SOBIERAJ

AssociatedPress

WASHINGTON (AP) Democrats Al Gore and Joseph Lieberman will cross Ohio in matching yellow , school buses, pushing a back-to-school campaign message in a week crowded with television appearances and nearly $10 million in fund raising. Cincinnati supporters spent Saturday paintipg signs for what the White House hopefuls have dubbed their "On the Road to an A+ Education" tour on Tuesday from Wantz Middle School in suburban Dayton to a Middletown high school and, finally, to Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. The road trip risked being overshadowed by Gore's star-powered fund raising and guest turns on Oprah Winfrey's and David Letterman's popular TV shows. Gore, the presidential nominee, got a jump on the week of collecting cash at a pair of Atlanta events Friday night, beseeching Democrats to help even the financial score w~th rival George W. Bush and the GOP, which have raised record amounts this year. "If you could just help us remain in the same ballpark, even close, then that's what we need," he said. Bush has raised a staggering $100 million and, through June 30, the GOP had $21.1 million in hard cash in the bank, compared with $9.3 million for the Democrats . Since then, both parties have spent millions on an unusually early and aggressive TV ad war. Gore will help the Democratic National

Committee replenish its coffers next week with three benefit concerts. Singers Cher and Michael Bolton star at Tuesday's $800,000 gig in Philadelphia. On Wednesday, it is singer James Taylor in Boston to raise $1 million. The Thursday finale, at :New York's Radio City Music Hall, employs the likes of Bette Midler, Jon Bon Jovi, Paul Simon and Julia Roberts to bag the week's biggest tally - $5 million. Running mate Lieberman will do his part with a $1.5 million marathon of four fund raisers Monday in Bush's Texas, while Gore opens the education drive with a town meeting at West Haven Elementary in Belleville, Ill. After Tuesday's bus trip, Gore will spend the night at the home of a Portland, Maine, high school teacher, launching the first of his "School Days" since the eight-hours-long campaign appearances consumed much of his spring campaign. On Wednesday, Gore will spend the day at a Portlandarea high school and return to New Hampshire on Thursday for the first since he won the state's leadoff primary. Gore wraps up the week in Washington, with a speech at Howard University. Spokesman Chris Lehane said Gore, who has proposed an additional $170 billion in education spending and tax breaks over 10 years, wants to focus this week on his proposal to give families a yearly tax deduction for the first $10,000 of college tuition, and allow them to save for college in tax-free and inflation-protected accounts .

Aiaport strives to become more international, Utah consultants say SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - It may lfe Utah's largest, but Salt Lake City International Airport is not international enough, con sultants say. \Vith just three flights a day to Calgary and one to Vancouver, the international terminal is virtually always empty. The airport is also the largest in the United States - ranked 23rd in total passengers - without at least one regularly scheduled, nonstop overseas flight. But a recent study commissioned by the airport and renewed efforts by the local air-travel community could soon help the airport become a bustling hub. The report, produced by air-industry consultants SH&E of Boston, encourages Salt Lake officials to actively recruit international service. It recommends working with Delta Air Lines, which controls 75 percent of Salt Lake's air traffic along with regional partner SkyWest, and its new partners, Air

France, Korean Air and AeroMexico. Consultants also urge officials to emphasize the city's geographic position; capitalize on the success of other cities that have added nonstop international service; garner support from business people that would benefit from the flights, and use the upcoming 2002 Winter Games to make a name for Salt Lake City. However, Atlanta-based Delta has in recent years reorganized its international travel, confining it mainly to three hubs, Atlanta, Cincinnati and New York OFK). "I think Salt Lake is going to have to live in that shadow of Atlanta and Cincinnati as long as Delta is here," said James Thalman, corporate travel manager for Franklin Covey Co. and program chairman of the newly formed Utah Business Travel Association. Salt Lake officials are therefore negotiating with Air France and AeroMexico

for service Delta seems unwilling to provide. Buzz Hunt, Salt Lake International Airport's marketing director, is scheduled to discuss plans for a nonstop ParisSalt Lake City flight with Air France officials in Paris on Sept. 21. Hunt also will meet with a handful of other airline representatives at an Amsterdam conference Sept . 18-19. He is optimistic Salt Lake City will have an international nonstop flight to somewhere other than western Canada within the next five years. "I think part of it is going to be dependent upon Delta improving their profit performance out of Salt Lake, and I'm confident that will occur," Hunt said. "Assuming it does occur, I think either Delta or one of the Delta partners will initiate that service, and I think AeroMexico and Air France will probably be the first to do so."

China'struckexplosivesblow up, killing 60 people Chen. He ran a mile from his office to the explosion. He counted at least 50 people dead and saw the injured , too numerous to count, lying on the road and sidewalk. He said the truck that apparently carried the explosives was a military vehicle, although government officials refused to confirm the description. Although police cordoned off the area for rescue work, the road was opened to vehicles and pedestrians by midmorning Saturday, Xinhua said. Nearly 20 hours after the blast, Xinhua reported that 309 people were injured but later 1 citing local officials, revised the figure to 173. It gave no further reason for the discrepancy and did not say how many were seriously injured . Explosives are widely available for construction in rapidly developing China and accidents are common. But Xinjiang is also the ~cene of the most violent internal threat faced by China's communist government. Uighurs, Turkic Muslims who are the region's largest ethnic group, have long resisted Chinese rule. Since the midl 990s, militant separatists have waged a campaign of bombings and assassinations against Chinese and suspected coll aborators. China launched a crackdown in 1996 that has failed to quell the unrest. Urumqi, a largely Chinese city, has seen few separatist attacks. But in one of the most coordinated acts of violent protest, militants set off bombs nearly simultaneously on three buses in Urumqi in February 1997, killing nine and injuring 68. A month later they blew up a bus in Beijing, injuring 10.

CHARLES HUTZLER

Associated Press ·

BEIJING (AP) - A truck carrying explosives blew up in China's restive Muslim northwest, killing 60 people, injuring 173 others and scorching nearby vehicles and homes, officials and state media said Saturday. The Xinhua News Agency reported the casualty count in the explosion Friday evening in Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang region, and officials with the city police and government confirmed the account. But they provided few details. Investigators believe the explosion was an accident, although they have not ruled out terrorism, said an official with Xinjiang's foreign propaganda office, who gave only his surname, Zhang. Police and paramilitary units cleared the wreckage through the night, sending the injured to at least four area hospitals, government and medical officials said. Some among the 90 injured taken to the Coal Mining Hospital were permanently blinded or crippled by the explosion, said an emergency room administrator, surnamed Chen. The explosion occurred around 5:30 p.m. on a major artery in the sprawling industrial city's western suburbs that was crowded with residents leaving work. Xinhua said the truck was taking the explosives for disposal when they detonated. It added that more than 20 vehicles and homes were damaged. "I heard a boom an<l saw black smoke in the sky," said an employee at the Materials Transport Co., also surnamed
