At 3 a.m. in Sydney, someone looking for a drink can cruise into any of several bars taking advantage of the Olympic host city's temporary slackening of the liquor curfew. It will be a different story in Salt Lake City come 2002 - book closed. Mit Romney and the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics are supporting Utah's laws wholeheartedly, said Justin Toth, assistant general council for SLOC. "There's no controversy, as far as we're concerned," Toth said "It's fairly simple. First of all, the organization committee is not going to request changes, period. Furthermore, we're going to comply with Utah's liquor laws, period," he said. "It's that simple." Because of strict state liquor laws, getting into Utah bars and social clubs can be awkward for visitors to the state who just want a drink, said Kyle Robbins, manager at Port O'Call, a private club for members in

downtown Salt Lake City. All sales of beverages with more than 3 .2 percent alcohol content are controlled initially by the state. Public restaurants and clubs with liquor liscenses can serve beer with 3. 2 percent alcohol content to anyone age 21 or older. People look ing for stronger liquor or beer have to go to private club s, which are open only to club members. A non-member can buy a $ 5 two-week membership to most of these clubs. "People from Utah are familiar with the law and it's not such a big surprise," Robbins said. "People from other states and other countries come in and are always surprised." Do they think it 's silly? "Always," he said. But, he said, it doesn't matter because Utah's laws are understandable, and people can learn to work with them . "It does take a little more patience dealing with customers ," Robbins said. "But I don't see the liquor laws being any hindrance to any►SEE UTAH BEER

As the number of fulltime students increases over the next 20 to 30 years, the Utah State University master plan will help the campus adapt smoothly. There are 14,000 full-time equivalent students on campus. Within the next 20 to 3 0 years, that number is expected to increase to 26,000, said Darrel E. Hart, assistant vice president of Facilities. The master plan lays out placement of necessary facilities to accomodate the growth, Hart said . Long-range plans are driven by enrollment growth, not time, Hart said.

Scholarship BRIAN CARTER

Staff Writer

Of the $29 million raised for scholarships during Utah State University's 112-year history, more than $23 million have been generated in the past few years. This increase in donations is a direct result of the university administration making scholarship funding a number one priority. Efforts from university alumni have aided in the increase. "President Emert has been very aggressive to get mon ey for undergraduates. He does a lot of activities to have people donate," said Jim MacMahon, vice president for University Advancement. "Until President Emert, there wasn't a scholarship program," said Carl Lundahl, president of the Alumni Association. "He has really pushed fund raising." 'We get a lot of money from various foundations and individuals," MacMahon said. "Last year we received nearly $18 million in cash, about twice as mu ch as the year before. Our goal is to double it again this year." The majority of the money is placed in endowment funds, MacMahon said. An endowm ent is a gift set up to pro vide incom e from interest . An endowment scholarship needs to earn at least $2,700 annually, MacMahon said. ''You can start with a $10,000 to $2 5,000 endowment," MacMahon said. "But we prefer a $5'0,000 to $60,000

demic suport, administrative and general-use facilities will be needed to accomodate the projected increase in population; a 65 percent increase over the current building area serving those functions. An increase of 3,000 student beds in university housing will also be needed, as well as about S',S'00more parking spaces, according to the master plan. Currently, universitybased instructional and research laboratory facilities cover 600,000 square feet. This number is projected to expand by about 300,000 to 400,000 square feet with the student population increase, according to the master plan.

Within the next five years, studies will be conducted and plans developed in specific areas like heating, parking and transportation, sports and recreation, and student housing. The College of Education is the only college to have a plan preparing for college growth over time. David T. Cowley, space planner of Facilities Planning, said he anticipates other colleges will follow suit. These specific plans, Hart said, are "guiding tools as to how the growth can occur." Some expansions in the master plan include changes in buildings from singlefloor units to multi-floor units to make more efficient

use of the land, Hart said, but they "intend to keep the skyline very low." Just because a space doesn't have a building on it doesn't mean that space is available, Hart said. There must be a balance between open space and space occupied by buildings. "Maste r planning is an ongoing process," Hart said. 'We will continue to use this and update this." Changes to the actual master plan can be made from the plans of other specific areas, Cowley said. All changes made from the master plan are depen►SEE PLAN

funding "ll'ayup in last fe-w-years endowment." MacMahon said the majority of scholarship money comes dir ectly from individual colleges and departments. "There are people who are successful who can donate," MacMahon said. 'We tell the story of USU and they'll want to help." Lundahl said a non-Aggie in Summit county donated $100,000 after hearing President Emert speak. MacMahon said the Alumni Association also raises money. He said there have been donations from many chapters in the United States and international chapters, such as in Korea and Thailand. Lundahl said the Alumni Asso(;iation really began raising scholarship money about six years ago. This year, 20 students were awarded scholarships from their local alumni chapters. "O ur primary focus is to raise funds for scholarships," Lundahl said. One of the more successful programs to raise funds has been "License for Learning," or the Aggie "A" license plate, Lundahl said. Most of the money received from the "A" plate is put into a scholarship fund. "I think people give to the license plate fund to be seen as an Aggie and donate to the scholarship fund," Lundahl said. For the 1998-99 school year, the Financial Aid office reported more than $1 l million in scholarships awarded to more than 6, S'00students. Eric Olsen, director of High School and College Relations, said his office has

about $2 million to award annually to incoming freshmen and transfer stude~l.ts,mostly in the form of tuition waivers. "The ·state allows us to waive l 0 percent of incoming freshmen and transfer students' tuition based on the previous year's enrollment," Olsen said. Olsen also said USU has an agreement with Idaho to waive the non-resident portion of tuition to l S'Ostudents a year for their first year at USU. More than 100 students living within 100

miles of USU in Idaho or Wyoming recieve a one-third waiver of out-of state tuition for all four years. "This helps some decide to come to USU," Olsen said. 'We're concerned about students who receive scholarships at other schools, but USU is their first choice," MacMahon said. "These are students we just miss for lack of scholarship money." MacMahon said this year is going well for scholarship donations .

Gore, Bush tangle over releasing the oil from emergency reserve can better deal with high energy prices than C'-,ore.But almost six of every ten people surveyed favor using the emergency oil reserve to ease prices. The Energy Department is predicting that heating oil will cost a third more this winter than last and says that natural gas - u~ed to heat homes across much of the country has doubled since the ti rst of the year. On the highways, diesel fuel has continued to soar, raising widespread concern among truckers, and gasoline has declined only modestly since summer peaks. Oil prices receded slightly Thursdar, hut were stil above $36 a barrel, about $10 more than the administration _ believes is justi~ fied. To address these . problems, especial·-'""'-· ly the cost of heating people's homes this winter, Gore also called for: -Congress to provide an additional $400 million in energy assistance for low income families. Clinton released $320 million in assistance money last winter. - Enactment of a temporary tax credit for oil distributors as an incentive to build up dwindling inventories. -Long-term tax incentives to boost development of alternatives to fossil energy,to promote increased energy conservation and to reduce the country's reliance on foreign oil. - Congress to make permanent a heating oil reserve in the Northeast to draw on if supplies are interrupted. Under Gore's plan, oil from the reserve would be made available to refineries through a bidding process.

Officials support disclosure of credit scores MARCY GORD<;)N

Associated Press

WASHINyTON - Consumers should get access to the scores used ro determine whether they receive credit cards, car loans or home mortgages, and what interest rate they pay, an official of the Federal Trade Commission said Thursday. "Consumers want to obtain their credit scores and understand the process by which their scores were generated," Peggy 'Rvohig, assistant director for financial practices in the agency's Bureau of Consumer Protection, told a House Banking subcommittee. . She said the consumer agency supports giving consumers their three-digit credit scores and information about them. Legislation is being proposed that would require credit bureaus to disclose to consumers all the information in their files, including their credit scores. In California, the first-ever state bill to do so has cleared the Legislature and is awaiting Gov. Gray Davis's signature. The somewhat mysterious credit scores, generated by computer programs, are calculated by the major credit bureaus Equifax, Experian and Trans Union - and provided to banks and other lenders as a snapshot of a consumer's credit risk at a given point in time. In recent years, they have mostly replaced narra-

,.IJCH

tive credit reports for making lending decisions. The credit reports themselves are provided to consumers on request. The three-digit scores constitute a credit rating for each consumer. The subcommittee looked at credit scoring and legislation sponsored by Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, which would require all credit information, including scores, be disclosed, but stopped short of requiring the data to be given out for free. "Consumers should have access to the ... information which pertains to them in such a personal way," Cannon testified. "Consumers should know what they need to do to become good credit risks." Armed with their credit scores, consumers would be able to comparison-shop for the best rates on loans, he said. Similar measures have been proposed by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Rep. Harold E. Ford,Jr., D-Tenn., who had a nasty experience with a mistake on his credit record in 1996 that he says still hasn't been corrected. His bill would entitle consumers to one free credit report, including the score, from each credit bureau every year. Prospects for passage this congressional session are uncertain witl1 only a few weeks remaining before lawmakers adjourn for the year. There are several different models used for determining credit scores, and lenders choose the ones they prefer.

UDOTclaims trucking company tried to skirt no-work order SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The Utah Department of Transportation says a chief subcontractor on the Interstate It-~ reconstruction project tried to skirt a "no work" order by 1o 1 covering up the company logo on its vehicles. The order which took effect at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, was imposed against the Ralph Smith Co. because of safety concerns over its trucks. It prevents all Ralph Smith Co. vehiclf!s' from entering any state work sites, including those associated with the I-15 project. 1 On Wednesday, trucks with signs covering the Ralph Smith Co. name hauled loads to and from state work sites, according documents UDOT filed in 3rd District Court. The paper signs allegedly bore the name "CTI," a Salt .n Lake City-based trucking company. nc "They basically just covered up the name without making' ' any kind of improvement to the trucks," said Lynette Phillips, UDOT public affairs officer. Doug Smith, owner of Bountiful-based Ralph Smith Co., said he believed his company had cleared the plan with UDOT to let CTI lease his trucks for the duration of the 60day no-work order. Phillips said UDOT never offered its approval. "We told him that no Ralph Smith trucks would be allowed on any state jobs. That was made very clear to him (at a Tuesday night meeting)," Phillips said. UDOT officials contacted CTI owner A.]. Dean on Wednesday afternoon, Phillips said. "(Dean) felt sorry for another company and wanted to help .... He did not understand the legal implications. But by leasing the trucks he also leased all the problems," Phillips said. Phillips said Dean agreed not to lease Ralph Smith Co. trucks while the order is in effect. The no-work order stems from a June 21 incident in which the brakes on a Ralph Smith Co. truck failed and the driver died when the rig rolled off a road near Snowbasin. "We have been evaluating them since, and they have yet to come into compliance," Phillips said. Smith said his trucks are compliant with UDOT regulations and blamed "misinformation" for the restrictions against his company.

Delta Air lines granted right for new flights to Colombia. WASHINGTON (AP) - Delta Air Lines has won approval to begin direct flights between Atlanta and Bogota, Colombia, the Transportation Department announced Thursday. Delta was granted the right to operate seven flights weekly between the cities, becoming the third U.S. carrier to fly to that country. Continental and American Airlines currently provide service to Colombia. The department said it approved the Delta service in order to increase competition and expand the available flight options.

Questarseeks $63million rate SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Questar Gas is seeking a $63 million rate hike - 12.7 percent or $6.62 per month for the typical residential customer. The price hike filed with the Public Service Commission Wednesday is requested to go into effect on Oct. 1. The company said that the request is a passthrough filing reflecting increases in natural-gas prices at the wellhead. "Natural gas prices are increasing nationwide in response to higher demand," said Nick Rose, Questar Gas president and CEO. The U.S. Energy Department predicted this month that residential consumers across the country will pay about 2 5 percent more this winter for natural gas. Industry estimates are even higher, with the American Gas Association saying rates could rise 40 percent, depending on how cold it gets. Electric utilities are increasingly turning to natural gas for generating plants to avoid pollution problems and that is contributing to the current price increase. Questar's requested hike is less than that of many other gas companies because half of its natural gas comes from its own wells. Questar has to provide a lot of its production to customers at cost because ratepayers helped pay for Questar's acquiring and developing the reserves.

ISSUeS.

HEBER CITY, Utah (AP) - The way Heber City Mayor Lynn Adams sees it, ensuring Wasatch County residents get a shot to vote on how their county is run is nothing short of preserving democracy. But the county's threemember Board of Commissioners says its efforts to squelch a citizen-led initiative that would fundamentally · alter its composition is more a question of legality. The debate has people at odds in this town of around @'°00about 30 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, where people riding bikes down Main Street iliout hello to the mayor and softball teams eat hamburgers 9-yrside restaurants, waving mthusiastically at passers-by. It brings together old men in jeans and cowboy boots with young men in shorts and sneakers, brings allegations of corruption and vested interest and illegal closed-door meet-

ITIBs.

Four of the state's other 28 counties - Salt Lake, Cache, Morgan and Grand - have changed the makeup of their county government in the past few years, some contentiously and some rather quietly. In Weber County, 10,000residents signed a petition to get the issue on the ballot in l 998, but it was defeated. "It seems to be (an issue) along the Wasatch Front, in the counties that are really are experiencing a lot of stress and strain on growth-related issues," said Ken Bullock, director of the Utah League of Cities and Towns. "What you're seeing is people having

Adams says the effort to derail the initiative is partly a product of a "good old boys" attitude in the county. The commissioners tried Tuesday to kill the initiative but backed down in the face of overwhelming support from the community. The vote was rescheduled for Friday at 5 p.m. after the commission and the Wasatch County attorney said they needed more time to review the latest version of the initiative. "There's too many departments that are too powerful. It lends itself to creating empires," Adams said. The debate started in March, when Adams and other residents began talking about making a change to the board. Heber City added a city manager last year and the leaders liked the way it's worked so far. They drafted an initiative and started a signature drive that easily collected nearly 700 signatures - the 15 percent of registered voters needed to ensure the question a spot in the next general election. Then the debate really began. The group submitted the initiative and signatures to the Utah Attorney General's office. The Attorney General's office handed it back, suggesting revisions were needed to ensure the wording was legal. Wasatch County Attorney Derek Pullan also made suggestions The wording of the petition changed and it returned to the Attorney General's Office and to Pullan. More suggestions were made and the initiative

changed shape again. The language in the final version was declared legal bv the Attorney General's offic~ this week, but the Wasatch County commissioners say it's too late to put it on the November ballot. 'We've already missed one printing deadline," Pullan said. By state law, anything that appears on the ballot must be published in a newspapers beforehand, and explanatory materials must be distributed to voters. There's also a state law that requires an initiative be completed 60 days before the election - a deadline initiative proponents say they made because the Attorney General approved the original version with slight changes, But opponents say the law applies to the final version. "If you have a plan that violates state law, you can't do anything under it without being challenged, " Commissioner LaRen Provost said after the Tuesday meeting. Board members also expr= other reservations about the initiative, which would change the current three-member commission to a seven-member board consisting of two atlarge members and five who would be elected by district. It also would require an executive manager be hired to run day-to-day operations and that elections for the new commission be held in February, along with reducing pay for members from $2,500 a month to $500, Adams said. "I think it's a vote for big government and will cost the taxpayers money in the long run," Commissioner Ralph Duke said.

Staff Writer

Those who have graced the halls of the TSC's third floor lately may have noticed a subtle change in the scenery. Over the summer, the Val R . Christensen Service Center and the ASUSU College Senators offices switched locations. The Service Center's new offices are located in room 332, and the College Senators in 327. The larger and more equipped senators' office has been a big hit amongst the eight college representatives. Taylor Leavitt, the College of Business senator, said the new offices are beneficial not only to the senators, but the student body as well. "Our new office gives us more room for what we need to do," he said. "We now

have better access to phone lines and computers, and council meetings are able to be held in our office." With the new move, "more people are able to actually see the [Service 1 Center], " said Brooke Povey, student director of S.T.I.C.K.S . (Students Tutoring and Instructing in Classrooms for Kids to Succeed). "We hope that with the new visibility we will exceed last year's 5,000 volunteers by inviting more people to get involved." Both organizations offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities for students to choose from . The Service Center operates l 4 separate service projects throughout the year, both on campus and in the community. For volunteer information, visit the Service Center .

PROVO, Utah (AP) Provo students became the first in Utah to join the national Youth Crime Watch program that empowers students to help stop violence at schools. ' About 26 students from two high schools and two middle schools were selected to participate in a training program this week at Farrer Middle School. The students will go back to their schools and ask classmaces to help choose effective crime-prevention and safety programs. Provo High and Timpview High students are proposing an anonymous youth patrol that would pace the hallways during class breaks and sit in on football games. At Dixon Middle School, they are considering a school-bus safety program. "One of the best ways co solve problems with youth violence is to make kids a part of the solution," said Tibby Milne, director of the Utah Crime Prevention Program. The Youth Crime Watch program has been highly successful throughout the nation. In one case, a Mississippi Crime Watch member turned in a student who had brought a gun to school The results may not be as dramatic in Provo schools, Milne says, but if the massacre at Columbine High School last year left one les-

son, it was this: Violence can happen anywhere. 'We asked the students to raise their hands if they have ever been the victim of a crime," Milne said. "And every student raised their hand. They may not be talking about violent crimes, but these students know the reality of crime." Theft of music discs or money seemed to be the common cnme. But whatever the crime, the students involved in YCW are trained to help school resource officers stop problems before they happen . "Instead of police officers or teachers solving problems, we solve them," said Jose Eada, a student at Provo High. "They are outsiders. We know what our problems are. We see the tagging, the drug use, the fights." It is no accident that Eada, who is from Mexico City, was selected for the training pro gram . School resource officers such as Keith Roland at Provo High looked for those who could relate to students from different backgrounds. Eada's group plans to hold an assembly to introduce the YCW concept to the Provo High student body . They want to get as many students involved as possible . 'We're not trying to make narcs out of kids . We're trying to stress the importance of watching out for each other," Milne says.

It 's like settling for the bagged cereal instead of the boxed, name-brand cereal. Yeah, it will take your mind off the hunger, but it's not quite as good. Save your money. Rent a video. Do toll painting or crafts. Just don't see any flicks until the end of September, because that's when the breath of life re-enters theaters and allows viewers to forget about a sub-par summer movie season. The list below is full of Oscar hopefuls, adrenalinecharged moneymakers, sleepers and yes, probably some duds. Remember, since Hollywood is extremely fickle, the dates these films are supposed to be released could change in a nanosecond. Check listings for the local theaters before you get your hopes up.

"Urban Legends: Final Cut" (Sept. 29) This is the second installment in the "Urban Legend" series, and its producers and directors hope to feed off the same vibe that keeps moviego-

"Scream 3," "I Still Know ~'hat You Did Last Summer" and other shameless attempts in the ever-decaying horror genre. This outing has a film student composing her senior film thesis on urban legends. One by one, her crew begins to be killed off. Oh, my gosh! What a surprise!

"Remember the Titans" (Sept. 29) Heres a surprise - a movie produced by Jerry Bruckheimer ("The Rock," "Armageddon," "Gone in 60 Seconds") that doesn't have car chases, explosions, killings or giant asteroids hurtling toward the Earth. Instead, the low-key story follows Denzel Washington as a football coach who must lead a recently integrated high school to victory in football. Football movies don't usually fair well at the box office, but then again, Academy Awards aren't decided by box-office receipts, either.

"The Broken Hearts Club" (Sept. 29) This film premiered at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival and follows a group of gay friends as they look back on their lives, friendships and the events that have brought them

Most people just don't like paying $18 for a CD. That's why manv are turning to Intern.et fre~hie sites like the infamous Napster, Freenet or Gnutella. Free, cheap, easy music. Accessible almost anywhere, it can be burned fo·r about 50 cents a CD. This fairly simple process has spread like wildfire throughout the United States - much to the chagrin of musicians and their corporate labels. In the music business, most people are either adamantly for or against the free-for-all. Rapper Dr. Dre claims Napster has "stolen food out of Dre's kids' mouths," and .\1:etallica drummer Lars Ulrich has . said the trading is "old-fashioned trafficking of stolen goods." The much shorter list of pro-pirating musicians include Hole, Limp Bizkit and rapper Chuck D, who believes Internet download ing will "kill off all the dinosaurs, and force everyone to change the way they do business ." And the thing is (with the exception of Dr. Dre), there is support for all their claims. So what is a band to do' Sept. 7 brought music lovers a new alternative : Bootleg yourself.

"Meet the Parents" (Oct. 6) Ben Stiller ("There's Something About Mary,") plays Greg Focker, a groom-to-be whose luck turns for the worse after meeting his future bride's parents. Her father is played by Robert De Niro ("Heat," "Ronin") and anyone who has seen this trailer knows the flick should be hilarious.

"Get Carter" (Oct. 13) This remake of the 1971 thriller stars Sylvester Stallone as a London gangster who suspects his brother's death was not an accident and begins to investigate a web of lies and deceit that he thinks will lead him to his brother's killer. "Get Carter" also stars Michael Caine ("The Cider House Rules") and Mickey Rourke ("Wild Orchid," "9 1/2 Weeks"). One question: Has Stallone made a good film since "Rocky?"

"Bounce" (Oct. 13) Ben Affleck ("Armageddon," "Forces of Nature'') and Gwyneth Paltrow ("Shakespeare in Love," "The Talented Mr. Ripley") are suddenly brought together when Affiecks character swaps tickets with Paltrow's husband and her husband is killed in a plane crash aboard the plane Affleck was supposed to be riding. This could be a hit like "Sleepless in Seattle" or a dud like last year's "Random Hearts."

"The Contender" (Oct. 13) This film has CNNs Larry King doing cartwheels in the studio. King attended a screening and declared the film Oscar-worthy. \Ve'll see. But from the whispering going on about the movie, it should be good. It stars Joan Allen ("Nixon," "Pleasantville") as a senator who has been nominated for the vice presidency, but whose nomination is jeorardized when a sex scanda in her past is revealed.

Procrastinatorshave the right idea fashionable than the latest styles. Procrastination also saves you money on haircuts. Although it can be a bummer when you finally go to get your haircut from the same barbershop you've been going to for the last 20 years and discover the barber has been dead for nine months. The Internal Rev~nue Service is not a worry for procrastinators because of one word: Extension. Burning fat is also not a problem for procrastinators. All that is needed is to get the "I have to pee" dance down to a giggling science so that the pounds just melt away. This can not only save you time at home by not going to the bathroom, but also at work, where people will think you are on the New Richard Simmons Vibrating Aerobics Program. Being a procrastinator also saves you from potentially dangerous accidents around the home. Just think of the broken bones you avoided by leaving your Christmas lights up from Dec. 24 until the latter half of September. And finally, think of all the money you saved on dishwasher soap by using the dog dish for your Cheerios before washing a single dish in the house. I hope that all people will find the beauty and efficiency that lies in the art of procrastination, an art that our society has wrongly labeled as a character flaw. And as a nation, I hope we can all embrace all the lazy splendors of its truth.

~SENTENCES Biyce Casselman

I'm a procrastinator. I feel no shame in this, and actually there are m,iny positives to being late and unprepared all of the time. First, procrastinators always set their alarm clocks ahead at least 15 to 20 minutes. This, of course, is so they can procrastinate the very first moments of the day. This creates the false sense of reality needed to be a good procrastinator and allows a mindset needed to benefit from the many advantages that come from being lastminute for everything. Procrastinators never do any maintenance on their cars. This is very important because it provides a good excuse to use when they are late for work and for dates with those spe cial persons in their lives. Some of the excuses that can be derived from car maintenance procrastination include: The car got a flat tire, the car ran out of gas, and, of course, the car blew up in a fireball of blue smoke and exhaust fumes. A procrastinator is the type of person who waits until the holes in his or her clothes are large enough to house several families of small wilderness creatures. This also saves money because having a family of muskrats living in your pants is always more

Group not ready to bid fans fare-well yet DEBBI[ LAMB

Staff Writer

\ix years ago a group of friends started singing together with two goals in mind: to record an album and to have a sellout end-of-theyear concert in the Ellen Eccles Conference Center Auditorium. Both goals were met, and from those goals came an a cappella group that is known throughout the West. Voice Male originated with New Horizons, the Utah State University Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Institute choir, back in the fall of 1994. It started as a double quartet named The Hooligans. "I think John Luthy had an 'aha' moment one day while he was brainstorming for names," said John Huff, one of the two baritones in the group. "After several rehearsals, a lot of frustration, some food and the elimination of a bunch of names like Cloud 9, we finally settled on Voice Male." In the fall of 1996, three

ally performed it in the past. Kesler and McAllister blend well together. The sixth track is called "Love Boat Theme," and, yes, it is the actual theme from the "Love Boat." When I first heard Voice Male sing it, I was taken back to when I watched the "Love Boat." The song is great, but not until one witnesses Huff rowing a pretend boat across the stage while singing it can one fully appreciate the song. "The Rainbow Connection" is John Luthy's first vocal, though he has been featured in previous percussion solos. Luthy does wonders on percussion; it's hard to find anyone who can come close to matching his talents. Hearing him sing a solo is amazing. Luthy's voice is so deep it's poetic. "Give Them a Vision," the last track on the CD, was written by Mike Bearden. It was written for WalMart as a theme song for the company's Project Insight, which provides eyeglasses to children whose families can't afford to buy them. The lyrics are inspiring. "Give them a vision, bright and strong," Voice Male sings. "Give them the heart to carry on. Give them the rhythm in their soul. Give them a vision." The song forces one to stop and think about people who for some reason can't make ends meet. Listening to "Hooked" is the next best thing to being at a concert. I would definitely recommend this to any~ne who enjoys a cappella music.

members quit, making Voice Male a six-man a cappella band. This group continues to perform while pursuing other interests. The group is composed of Mike Bearden, tenor; Huff, baritone; Phil Kesler, baritone; Luthy, percussion; Richard McAllister, tenor and Mike Wilson, bass. Voice Male sings a variety of popular favorites from die 1950s to the 1990s, including pop, rock, jazz, country and barbershop music. • Voice Male has recorded four original compositions. "Lift me Up," "Give Them a Vision" and "Voice Male" were written by Mike Bearden . "What's Wrong With Me" was written by John Huff. Voice Male has produced five CDs: "Voice Male," "up up and away," "HIMS" and its newest CD, "Hooked." It also has one tape , "At the Tone," which has been out of print for more than four years. In 1999 Voice Male's Christmas CD, "Jingles,"

won the Contemporary a Cappella Rt:cording Award for Best Holiday Album. The CARA is essentially the Grammy of the a cappella world and is awarded by the Contemporary a Cappella Society of America, Huff said. Voice Male joins an elite group of winners, including Take 6, Rockapella, the Nylons and The King Singers, he said. "It meant and means a lot to me because it legitimiz~d our sound and our abilities on the national scene," Huff said. "It's pretty cool because we're the first and only Utah group to ever receive such an award." In May 1997, Voice Male had a farewell concert. But it didn't quit the music scene. "The reason we didn't was because we kept getting a lot of calls to do shows that people 'just had to have us for,"' Luthy said. "Essentially people wouldn't let us quit, so we just kept going. These days, group members have careers, families, graduate school, etc., and we have to travel an

hour and a half - one way once a wt:ek just to rt:ht:arst:. "\Vith our busy schedules, it's hard to know how long we can keep all of this up. Maybe we're done next year, maybe we aren't. \Vho knows?" But Luthy said they are at least planning to keep it up for a while longer. Voice Male continues to make plans for the future. The group's thinking about recording another CD of hymns or maybe LOS children's songs. "We've also thought about recording a live album or some kind of Voice Male favorites," Huff said. "Other than that we plan on doing concerts." The group's annual Logan Christmas concerts are scheduled for Dec. 15 and 16 in the Kent Concert Hall. It also plans to travel at least through the summer, Huff said. More information about Voice Male is available by sending an e-mail at stuff@voicemalemusic.com or by visiting its Web site at www.voicemalemusic.com

After six years of making wonderful music together, Utah State University's own Voice Male has done it again. Its newest CD, "Hooked," released Jul. 25, is one of its best yet. The sound is as interesting , unique and exciting as ever, and the lyrics to the original songs are as outstanding. To celebrate its newest work, Voice Male performed nvo CD-release concerts at USU Jul. 14 and 15. Mike Bearden, tenor; John Huff, baritone; Phil Kesler, baritone; John Luthy, percussion; Richard McAllister, tenor and Mike Wilson, bass, have put their all into this CD, and it shows. The 13 songs range from fun to spiritual and uplifting. Most songs on the CD feature one or nvo soloists, which adds a lot to the songs, but it's the synthesis of all the members' voices that makes the sound on "Hooked" complete. Mike Wilson doesn't solo on this album, but his strong bass adds to each song, and the CD wouldn't be nearly as good without him. "Danny Boy," featuring Phil Kesler and Richard McAllister as soloists, is a rare treat. The group only recently started putting "Danny Boy" regularly into its line-up at concerts, though it occasion-

"Charlie's Angels" (Nov. 3) It was bound to happen. The television series was so popular that not making a film version seems ludicrous. Let's . face it. Despite the illusion that these angels - played by Cameron Diaz ("Any Given Sunday"), Lucy Liu ("Play it to the Bone") and Drew Barrymore ("Never Been Kissed") - seem more feminist than their predecessors, audiences are going for one reason - to see three sexy women bare almost everything. This action-farce will do well for a few weeks and then slip into ambiguity. Drew Barrymore doing roundhouse ninja kicks just doesn't do if for me.

and the help he receives from an African-American caddie, looks to be inspiring and has a shot at some Oscar nominations. Starring Will Smith ("Wild Wild West"), Matt Damon ("C',ood Will Hunting") and Charlize Theron ("The Astronaut's Wife"), it could be the feelgood movie of the year. Howe ver, if Robert Redford, the film's director, follows his "Horse vVhisperer" pattern, he'll have people dozing off in theaters.

Sense") reunites the Samuel L. Jackson ("Shaft") and Bruce Willis ("The Sixth Sense ") duo. Willis plays a man who is the only survivor of a train wreck, who does not have a single scratch, broken bone or bruise caused by the fatal crash. This will be the real test of how good Shylarnalen really is at storytelling. Word is that if Shylarnalen garners viewers for this film, he'll be writing the screenplay for the long -awaited fourth installment of the lncliana Jones series.

"LittleNicky" (Nov. 10) In this film, Adam Sandler

"Proof of Life" (Dec. 8)

("The Waterboy") plays one of Satan's wayward sons. He feels intense pressure from his father to take over the family business, so he runs away to New York. Sandler is funny, and people keep responding to his movies, but I keep wondering how long it will last . It seems Sandler plays the same charac;ter or some mirror-like offshoot in all of his films . How long can a good thing last?

"Men of Honor" (Nov. 10) Cuba Gooding Jr. (''Jerry Maguire") and Robert De Niro ("Ronin") portray Navy Seals in a drama that follows the Navy 's first-ever AfricanAmerican Navy Seal. This film looks first-class and could earn De Niro a nomination for best supporting actor.

The jury is still out on this one. While the £Im boasts Meg Ryan ("Hanging Up") and Russell Crowe ("Gladiator"), the plot seems contrived and overused. The story follows an American engineer who is captured and held hostage in South America. The govern ment won't help, so the man's wife hires a freelance hostage negotiator to help bring her husband home. The producers were smart to cast Crowe in the lead role, since he's the hottest actor in Hollywood. ''Vertical Limit" (Dec. 8) There is a great shot in this trailer of Chris O'Donnell ("The Bachelor") running down a mountain slope and jumping out into nothingness, hoping that his ice ax snags the neighboring cliff. It makes my stomach drop, but my guess is this film won't do too well. No headliners, and many people get bored with mountain climbing movies.

"FamilyMan" (Dec. 15) Just in time for the holidays, the ghost of Chrisnnas past visits Nicholas Cage ("Gone in 60 Seconds") and gives him the chance to see how his life would have been if he had married someone else. Early buzz is that Cage is masterful and his co-star, Tea Leoni ("Deep Impact"), is even better.

"What Women Want" (Dec. 15) Mel Gibson and humor no way! Yep, Mr. Action has put away the guns and explo sives for this comedy starring Helen Hunt and Marisa Tomei. The trailer for this is hilarious and audiences love Mel Gibson. My bet is that Gibson's first comedic role will bring this movie acclaim and money.

A NEW MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

Folk music is defined as "a particular style of music in whic h the author is not known, and the music is simply passed down through generations." Louie Armstrong just called it "music that's made by folks ." The Bridger Folk Music Society and Utah Public Radio will present some of those folks this weekend in the first concert of its fall series. The vVood's Tea Company will be at the Eccles Conference Center Saturday at 7:30 p.rn. Wood's Tea Company, a band that plays a variety of folk music styles, including seafaring, Celtic, American and bluegrass, was founded in the early 1980s in Burlington, Vt. It features musicians Rusty Jacobs, Mike Lussen, Tom Mackenzie and Howard

Wooden. The group recently received an award from the Irish Heritage Foundation for "their creative contributions to Irish music." Besides tradition al Irish instruments, Wood's Tea frequently uses over a dozen instruments in a typical ·performance, including the bezouki , hammered dulcimer, tin whistle and bodhram. Their perfonnances are accompanied by a dry New England sense of humor that often makes the on-stage banter the highlight of the show. "College students seem to be more sensitive to [folk] music," said Ron Goege, one of the original founders. "The current scene is attractive to college kids. We try to mix it up to hear more traditional and current groups. That's why we like to bring groups like Wood's Tea in. It's just great music." Utah Pub lic Radio will also

Coming off a 50-9 victory over ISU last weekend, the USU men's rugby club will head to Orem to compete against UVSC and BYU ' Saturday at 12 p.m. and 1:30.. p.m., respectively. " "We are pumped up for this," said head coach Nev Poluto. "We'd like to have as many fans as we could," said Justin Henwood, a USU graduate student. "What we'd like to do is start a good tradition of rugby. We want our fans at the games and we want them to be educated about our sport." But the players said they want more than just fans , they want to win. They're preparing this weekend by improving on their fitness. "Fitness is the key," Poluto said. "We also want to work on getting the ball out quicker, and we are working on cleaning up our scrums." The last time the Aggies met the Wolverines, the USU men won in a close game. Last year the Aggies >@ilrnedthe first USU victory ever against BYU, 25- 15, however, they met again later that year and BYU won. "BYU's always the favorite," Henwood said. "T hey're the top ream in the nation." But because they won't play on Sundays, BYU has been suspended from the national tournament t'wo years in a row, he said. Next week the men will face their arch rival, the University of Utah, for the Aggies Homecoming game. "UVSC is going to be a good warm-up for that game," Henwood said.

But he does have the confidence of players and his coach. "I like how he runs the team," head coach Mick Dennehy said. "Jose has done a really good job." The Sun Devils (2-0) will also be armed with a new quarterback. Senior Ryan Kealy will return after being suspended for his first two games. He started practicing Tuesday, but his starus as starter is still unknown. ASU head ~oach Bruce Snyder, USU head coach from 1976-82, said he doesn't know where Kealy is in his development. "We're going to give him some snaps and some individual work and try to get some skeleton work and make our decision as we go," Snyder said. Dennehy said he sees Kealy starting. "He'll solve a lot of their experience problems in a hurry," he said. ASU is a young team. Freshman quarterbackJeff Krohn started the team's first two games, ~md the team's two running backs, Mike Williams and Derick Arnold, are both true freshmen.

The USU cross country team will compete at the University of Portland Invitational this Saturday for the first time ever. They will compete against teams from Willamette University, Boise State University, Auburn University, Southern Utah University and Portland. "There will be some good competition," head coach Greg Gensel said. "This will be our first major test this year." Gensel said he doesn't know what to expect for a team place. He said last week was better than the week before, and he hopes that this week will be even better. "We want to keep improving," he said, "and progress toward being better." Mitch Zundel and Jason Jones are expected to race well in the men's competition, and

Rebecca Thornley and Beka Leffler are projected to lead the women's team again. Portland's course is flat and goes through a park, which should keep the times fast and make for an exciting race, Gensel said. The team will fly to Portland Saturday morning and the men will race at 11 a.m., with the women following at 11:45 a.m. Sept. 30, the team will then compete in the Stanford Invitational.

OlympicsimpactSydneybeyondthe games TED ANTHONY

AssociatedPress SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Stand amid it all and be immersed in glorious bustle: To the left, cheers erupt from the baseball stadium. To the right, spendhappy superstore shoppers queue up 10 deep. Downtown, tourists pack the streets. And, towering high above, the Olympic flame captivates a planet. Australians are basking in it now, this three-week spotlight that brings legions to their door . But like the games, it is temporary. The nation, like others before it, faces a crucial question : When the 2000 Summer Olympics depart , what will they leave behind? The Olympics - their preparation and their arrival - affect a city and country in uncounted ways, some more direct than others. Topping the list is economic development : Olympic towns usually generate jobs and development beforehand - and jobs and tourism afterward. For Sydney, pre-games benefits have been abundant: A crucial airport highway has been completed more quickly, a giant landfill has been reclaimed into a showcase park, and $1.85 billion in construction has employed 35,000 people, the government says. People here expect this to continue

long after the Oct. 1 closing ceremony especially given the worldwide Tv, newspaper and Internet audiences who are learning more about Sydney this month than they knew about all of Australia to begin with. "Billions of viewers out there are deciding 'Let's go to Sydney,"' says Jennifer Bartlett, tourism development manager for the harborside Sydney Opera House, Australia's signature icon. Unlike Nagano or Lillehammer, though, Sydney is hardly a place that had to create an international identity. It already had the raw materials for urban success - pleasant weather, a magnificent harbor, the opera house, the harbor bridge and a multicultural populace that produces tourist-friendly products like great restaurants. But there was that issue that vexes so many here: For many foreigners, Australia is a global footnote - someplace pretty cool, but too distant to be much of a factor. "America has the perception that Australia is Crocodile Dundee and not much else. Australians want to change that," says Brendan O'Connell, an Australian who teaches in the University of Richmond's business school. Sydneysiders know the Olympics are as much development tool as sporting

event and sponsor showcase. They know praise - on Thursday, one International Olympic Committee executive called Sydney "vibrant" - can reverberate across continents. According to the Australian Tourist Commission, one in four Americans rank Australia as a "No. 1 holiday destination." Managing director John Morse predicts the Olympics will help bring $48.8 billion in international visits by 2004 - 22 million people, many attracted by what he calls the biggest advertisement for Australia in history. Just as important as tourism is attracting business. The games can show sponsors and investors that Australia's economy transcends what the government calls "wool and minerals." It also can showcase Australian products and skilled workers. Less tangible but equally important is the "networking effect" - knowledgesharing between visitors and Australians, from sports medicine experts to patrons of Business Club Australia, where visiting businesspeople meet local suppliers. "The Europeans still think we're a bit behind," says Tim Harcourt, chief economist at the Australian Trade Commission. "If the Olympics can make our own economy more efficient and change market perceptions ... that's got to be positive."

Two defending gold medalists may miss Sydney games LARRY MCSHANE

Staff Writer

SYDNEY, Australia (AP)ln a day of injury and intrigue, defending tennis gold medalist Lindsay Davenport left the Olympics with a bad foot and track star Marie-Jose Perec departed Sydney with some bad vibes. Davenport, the Atlanta champion and top seed at the Sydney Games, defaulted her second-round match Thursday to end her hopes of a second consecutive medal. She had aggravated her sprained left foot in a first-round victorv over Paola Suarez . ' Davenport's surprising decision was announced just before she was to take the court against Rossana De Los Rios of Paraguay. Earlier, French track star Perec - dubbed the "Greta Garbo of athletics" - decided she wants to he alone. The reclusive 1996 gold medalist fled Australia for Singapore after she was threatenel! by a man who burst into her Sydney hotel room, according to her main sponsor. There were no further details provided on the mysterious incident. Her sudden departure led to "will she or won't she?" speculation Thursday (Wednesday night EDT) over Perec's Olympic future, but her return seemed a longshot. "She hasn't been officially excluded from the team ," said Michd Vial, head of the French delegation. "At this point, being in Singapore, it is very improbable that she will compete." Denise Kaigler, a spokes woman for Reebok, said it was possible that Perec could still compete in the Olympics .

Earlier, she had said Perec was definitely out. Everyone agreed on one thing: Perec, 32, had left Sydney on a plane bound for Singapore just one day before her scheduled heat in the 400 meters. Perec, who suffers from a rare disease that causes chronic fatigue, had surprised French Olympic officials by disappearing from her hotel room . Since arriving in Sydney, she had dodged the media and refused to train with the French team; the Australian media quickly compared her to the ultra-private Garbo. Perec was the defending champion in the 200 and 400 meters, making her only the second women

Softball Tears of disappointment and disbelief were flowing in the U.S. dugout after a third bitter loss in as many games for the softball team. Lisa Fernandez surrendered a tworun homer as Australia rallied in the bottom of the l 3th inning to win 2-1 over the numbed American, who had ~ak~n the lead in the top of the rnnrng. Fernandez lost despite striking out 25 and surrendering just two hits. The defeat will, at minimum, cost the Americans (2-3) a bye in the medal round.

Boxing Everything fell into place Thursday to set up the most anticipated fight of the Sydney Games. U.S. 201-pounder Michael Bennett, with a victory in his Olympic debut, advanced to a quarterfinal

showdown with Cuban heavyweight great Felix Savon. Bennett, 29, who started fighting after his July 1998 release from prison, scored an 11-2 decision over Wojciech Bartnik of Poland. Savon, trying to join fellow Cuban Teofilo Stevenson and Lazio Papp of Hungary as three-time boxing gold medalists, defeated Rasmus Ojemaye of Nigeria . The first 10 American boxers in the ring have all won. Bennett faces Savon next week.

Bailey's Illness Atlanta gold medalist Donovan Bailey may join Davenport on the sidelines. A viral infection had greatly slowed the onetime world's fastest man. "He's congested, he's not feeling well," Bailey's agent, Ray Flynn, said Thursday morning (Wednesday night EDT). "He's not feeling 100 percent by any means. He's got flu-like symptoms." Competition in the 100 meter s begins Friday, and Bailey was hopeful that he could be ready. "I'v e been in bed for two days," Bailey said. "Psychologically, I'm very strong. But it's the physical thing I have to deal with." Swimming The Americans continued to treat the Olympic pool like a U.S . water park . Brooke Bennett, the gold medalist in 1996, was top qualifier in the preliminaries Thursday (Wednesday night EDT) in the 800-meter freestyle. A victory in Friday's 800 final would put her with

Janet Evans (1988, l 992) as the only back-to-back win;iers in the grueling event. Bennett has already won Sydney gold in the 400 freestyle. Gary Hall Jr . of Phoenix qualified second in the preliminaries of the 50 freestyle, just 14 hours after winning bronze in the I00 free. The field in the race was loaded, with twotime defending champion Alexander Popov of Russia, Pieter van den Hoogenband of the Netherlands and American Anthony Ervin. The qualifiers came after longshot Misty Hyman and relay team anchor Jenny Thompson won gold medals in record times for the American swimmers one night earlier. For Thompson, the 800meter freestyle relay victory catapulted her into rarified Olympic company. Her seven golds are more than any woman swimmer, snapping a tie with Germany's Kristin Otto.

Students deserve m,ore, m~n~y for their hard work ...

A new revolution: Name calling Heather Fredrickson.

Isn't it funny how seemingly intelligent people can use nonsense words to describe other seemingly intelligent people? Case in point: In Wednesday's Statesman, Michael Rickson referred to those individuals who have a lapse in judgment regarding litter on canyon trails and highways as "scuzzballs" and "dirtbags." Hmmmmm. Interesting word choice. I myself have been the victim of such name calling by others. What names? Oh, we don't need to go into that. Suffice it to say that the names used throughout my life have been no help to me at al I. Not once have I heard one of those names and thought to myself, "Hmm_ Maybe they're right. Perhaps I could change myself and become a different person. Why, <;>f course! That little bit of name-calling encouragement was all I needed!" Yeah, that works. "Hey you sorry S.O.B.! Would you clean up your yard?" Oh. I'm an S.O.B. Maybe I'd better get started on that clean-up. If only someone had told me that a couple of months ago. Life would have been so much more grand. But it wouldn't be just the receiver that appreciated that. Perhaps the sender would feel some release from venting his or her frustration and anger through such an unhealthy avenue. The university could offer classes on name calling. Which ones are the best for

this situation or that one, what kind of result you can get with a certain kind of emphasis on a word like "doofus." I wonder, does the emphasis go on the " doo" or the "fus" on that one? All the classic names would come back into common usage. Once again people will spout things like "doo-die head," "twerp," "booger lips," "doink," "idiot," "jerk," and a host of others that are unpublishable but involve every four-letter word invented. No longer would there be a need for violence . No longer would there be a need for playground fights - or their closely-related, largersized cousins, war - arguments, guns, missiles, or nukes. Michael! Could it be that you've discovered the secret to a peaceful, loving, nurturing society? Let's start today. Everyone, from now on don't look upon being called a name as an insult, but rather an opportunity to learn from someone who obviously knows much more than you about whatever situation you're in. Let me be first. To my dearest roommate, you're a half-wit if you don 't clean up your side of the room. You're a dipstick, dearest classmate, for spilling your . binder full of papers all over the floor right in front of me where I was trying to enjoy the trail. Pick it up. And you. The worst of all. You're a scuzzball and a dirtbag for having a momentary lapse in judgment allowing your arm to rel~ase that empty beer can outside of your trash can when usually you would place it in the proper recycling receptacle. Grand idea. It's certainly going to work, don 't you think? Heather Fredrickson is a senior majoring in print journalism. E-mail comments to slr4h@cc.usu.edu.

Helpful college hint #1: Roommates and dogs should never be allowed to cook. The reasons for this stem from the fact that neither actually has the intelligence to turn off a stove, so everything that they make turns into a black mass of toxic waste that takes approximately 1.2 mil lion years to decompos e. This next example illustrates today's hint.

The other day, as I was sittin g on my chair in a pleasant state of comatose, relishing the fact that I had found enough energy to crawl out of bed,. I suddenly received a burst of ambition. "AHA!!!" I said, "I think I'll do something worthwhile. Perhaps I'll climb Mt. Everest." I considered this to be a great development, because I'm at college, and most college students don't even receive enough ambition to put their clothes on in the morning, much less climb Mt. Everest. So, with that in mind , I began to make my way to the door, and two steps later fell down into an unconscious heap. Three hour s later - in ► SEE WATER

to the Editor

Don't give me a// the credit Dear Editor. The Wednesday edition of the Statesman ran a News Brief about voter registration. So many people have helped or taken their own initiative to increase student registration and the News Brief insinuated that I have been the overseer of all. The reality is, many groups on campus were organized for this movement before the coalition was even formed. They are on the ball! I have simply served as a correlator of efforts to meet standards set by the government and wanted to make sure the many croups, doing all the groun work, receive credit where due. I would like to make special mention of the ECOS club which represents environmental issues. To date they have registered 800+ students ! Wonderful! Kudos to them! Many other groups on campus such as the College Republicans, College Democrats, Public Affairs Board, as well as Pi Sigma Alpha (the Political Science Club on campus) will be dorm storming over the next few weeks to meet the Oct.

So what about Sunday dinner? I'm giving it up for Lent. I'm not Catholic, but I think I could be per~uaded. Sunday dinner at our house starts Saturday night and lasts until Monday morning . Saturday night, after realizing that I am the sole proprietor of the freezer in times of need, up to my elbows in white frost I go. After all, I've heard it a hundred times, "I thought you were getting something out for

with my teenager to come set the table . Rolling her eyes she submits and then disappears, when the last dish is set, oblivious to the commotion going on in the rest of the kitchen. Begging one child to play somewhere besides under my feet I pick up the other clinging to my leg and put her on the counter so I can still get things done. I have no idea where my husband is. I believe he secretly has a lover in the bathroom. That is where he usually is when I need him. Dinner is over. I've spent most of it passing something, getting something I forgot or cleaning up after someone. I'm exhausted. The men are still talking and I wonder , idly, if I should wait to clear the table or just collapse and slither under the table right there at their feet. I decide to clear the table. I know, like the cat, I will just annoy everyone if I

get under their feet. Taking my plate, I strape and rinse it. It would be nice to think, after setting that kind of example, everyone else would do it too. I'm not going to wait and find out. If I do I will faint. Besides, since dad and grandpa are right there at the table surely they will make sure everyone takes their plates to the sink also. They've seen how hard I've worked and I know they appreciate all I've done. By this time I am not only tired, but delusional. I'd like to be sleeping but I have homework. While studying, in comes my teen and hubby who curl up on the couch ends and start snoring. My head bobs as I try to focus. Suddenly I realize that the youngest is outside. I know no ►SEE SUNDAY

►WATER From Page 12 the middle of a great dream mind you - my roommate began to slap me and remind me that I had previously had a burst of ambition (how he knew this, I'm still not entirely certain). "Go do something worthwhile," he said. "OK," I replied, and walked into my bedroom for a nap. Before doing this, however, I decided that it was his turn to cook dinner (this was due mostly to the fact that I couldn't actually remember who he was, but I felt confident that he had food) and told him so. As I woke up - six hours later - a certain smell permeated the apartment. It was a smell that reminded me distinctly of a gas that would probably kill a full-grown elephant in under 13 seconds. I decided that this co~ldn't be a good sign, so I pulled myself out of bed and walked int~ the kitchen. As I got there I saw a large hunk of metal covering what I thought was my stove-top with a black, smouldering mass of carbonous substance decaying on top of it. "Roommate," I said, " what happened here?" "Um, actually ... (long pause indicating sheepishness) ... I burnt the water that we were going to use for dinner tonight." "Is that possible?" I said. "I guess so," he replied. . . Once I was able to grasp this newfound information (average college student newfound information grasping time - 14 minutes) I did what any other college student would have done - I called 911. What follows is an actual tape recording of my conversation. "911, please state the nature of your emergency." "Um, hi, I was wondering, do you think it's possible to burn water?" "No, I don't. Please state the nature of your emergency." "Would you like to bet on that?" "No, sir. State the nature of your emergency or I'll hang up." ''Come on, I'm giving great odds." "STATE THE NATURE OF YOUR A%$#$#% EMERGENCY YOU *%A$#" Something inside told me that I was getting nowhere with this conversation, so I hung up and began the complicated process of deciding how to dispose of my roommate's newlymade toxic waste. Two thoughts sprang directly into my otherwise unoccupied mind: 1. I'm really hungry, and 2. I should probably eat somethirtg'. P-€eling particularly daril'lg, I went to Carl's Jr. and ortt~t'ed11!'b(it~er. Wheh I t'ar'l'le' home I d~t!rded ·-that there was really only onetKing that I c~urd do with my' Mwl~-gained I toxit waste - give it to a wandering group of poor USU stude°r1tswho periodically roam the streets of Logan looking for free food. I felt very humane in my decision to give them this otherwise inedible toxic waste, because I (like so many other naturally humane people with an excess of toxic waste) knew that they had developed an immunity to it. Putting on my radioactive vest (standard apartment issue), I took the black, smouldering water to the door and threw it out into the street. When I woke up the next morning it was gone, so I felt I could safely assume that either a. This mass of burnt water had a halfIife of approximately 1.3 seconds and therefore broke itself down into nothingness orb. The wandering USU students were now itll. I hope this article has convinced you of the dangers of losing so much intelligence and common ~ense that you come to a point where you actually ALLOW your roommate to cook. If not, then feed the dog and go back to sleep.

Iraqi refugees have been staying at the hotel while waiting for American authorities to process asylum applications, according to relatives.

Ton1ado sweeps town, killing one person JAMES HANNAH

AssociatedPress XENIA, Ohio - A tornado swept through town, killing one person and injuring dozens of others as it left. overturned cars, damaged buildings and downed power lines. Authorities searched through the night for other possible victims of the storm . that hit around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. "We are going home by home to see if everybody is OK," Mayor John Saraga said. The storm - confirmed as a tornado by the National w~~r Service - was a frightening reminder of a twister that struck the southwestern Ohio city a quartercentury ago, leaving 33 people dead and millions of dollars in damage. Authorities said the damage Wednesday, while significant, was far smaller. "Ninety percent of our city is in good shape," Saraga said. At least 100 people were injured, and at least 14 were admitted to hospitals. One person was in critical condition and three were in serious condition Thursday.

Firesspreadacross Oklahoma damagingand destroying60 homes THOMAS MULLEN

AssociatedPress GUTHRIE, Okla. Firefighters slugged through heavy brush and thick smoke to battle a stubborn wildfire that has scorched nearly 40,000 acres while Oklahomans who lost their homes to other blazes sifted through the charred rub,ble. The fire that continued burning early Thursday in southern Oklahoma's rugged Arbuckle MountainS-was the largest of more than 100 that have consumed fields and forests, and damaged or destroyed at least 60 homes across the state this past week. "A lot of families are just devastated. I've dealt with a lot of fires but nothing this large," said Pat Oliver, executive director of the Red Cross chapter in Logan County, about 50 miles north of

Oklahoma City. A half dozen air tankers and eight helicopters from Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas ferried tons of water to the 17 wildfires still burning. Between 200 and 300 Forest Service firefighters from across the South were helping weary crews. "This additional manpower from the Forest Service will be a tremendous asset to fight this fire on the ground," said Alben Ashwood, state director of emergency rnahlrgement' A grass fire along Interstate 35 in the Arbuckle Mounts north of Davis forced the temporary closing of the southbound lanes. At least 31 homes were destroyed by wildfires that swept across Logan County on Tuesday, Ashwood said. Much of central Oklahoma has not seen measurable rajnfall for more than 50 days, and gusty

winds have helped spread flames through the dry cow1tryside. Crews in orange trucks worked on gravel roads that snaked through thick woods to replace burned utility poles. Black patches of burned earth cut across pastures and. through woodland in seemingly random patterns. The fire destroyed five of six buildings at the Woodlands Equestrian Centre, including the home of owners David and Laura Harris. ·1 "This is devastating," David Harris said. The cross-country equestrian courses at the center were also ruined. Jack Carson, a spokesman for the state Department of Agriculture, said investigators believe many of the fires have been arsons, carelessly ignited by cigarettes, fireworks and other burning items thrown onto dry grass.

Judge absolves government in Waco case TROY GOODMAN

AssociatedPress DALLAS - Federal agents acted within the limits of the law and cannot be held responsible for the deaths of 80 Branch Davidians during a 1993 standoff in Waco, a judge has ruled. The decision from U.S. District Judge Walter Smith late Wednesday clears the government in a $675 million wrongful-death lawsuit filed by surviving Branch Davidians and relatives of those killed. "The only gunfire on April 19, 1993 was generated by certain Davidians inside the compound," Smith wrote. No evidence supports the claim that government agents fired any weapons that day, he said. Smith's ruling mirrors the conclusions an advisory jury and Special Counsel John Danforth reached in July. Both have said Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents and others were not responsible for the deaths on the final day of a 51-day standoff. The siege began Feb. 28, 1993, when ATF agents tried to arrest sect leader David Koresh. A gunfight erupted, leaving four ATF agents and six Davidians dead.

The standoff ended when tanks driven by FBI agents pumped tear gas into the compound. A fire broke out and nearly all of the Davidians, including Koresh, died, some from the fire, some from gunshots. "The FBI acted with restraint ... despite the deadly gunfire directed at them during the tear ' gas operation," Smith wrote. Michael Caddell, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, did not return telephone messages left by The Associated Press. Deputy Attorney General Erich Holder said the Justice Department was pleased with the ruling. "Today's decision appropriately recognizes that many law enforcement officers risked their lives to uphold our nation's laws," Holder said. In July, the five-member advisory jury decided the government did not use excessive force i its attempt to serve search and arrest warrants on Koresh. Jurors also decided the government's actions on the final day of the siege were not negligent and did not contribute to the deaths the sect members. The government said suicida sect members started fires in the building and were responsible for their own deaths.
