New majors at Utah State University this semester will beef up the already hearty stew offered to students hungry for knowledge and gainful employment. One new offering is an emphasis on e-commerce as part of the business information systems major. Another new offering is the speech major through the languages and philosophy department. Another proposed major would be an interdisciplinary • study involving computer science, business, information technology and electrical and computer engineering, which would prepare students for high-tech jobs. The e-commerce emphasis was approved last year and is being offered for the first time this semester . The e-commerce emphasis is attracting a lot of interest, said Lloyd Bartholomew, ?epartm~nt head of business mformat1on systems. At least three to four students per week ask about the e-commerce program, he said. Students are trained to work on either the client or server side of e-businesses. The .client side could involve designing Web pages or setting up shopping carts, while the server side could involve

more technical aspects like programming or setting up data bases. Bartholomew also said graduates of the e-commerce program can expect to earn starting salaries of $40,000 to $50,000. The speech major is not new, but a reinstatement of a major discontinued in 1989 due to a lack of faculty. According to Diane Michelfelder, department head of languages and philosophy, the speech major emphasizes organizational communication as well as theories and skills that allow students to identify common communication problems. The speech major works closely with the languages and philosophy department to help students broaden their cultural awareness and increase their understanding of language. Associate Professor Harold Kinzer, the coordina tor of the speech major, said it is aimed at preparing students for careers as consultants, attorneys, teachers, or for attending graduate school. Kinzer also said at this point only 2 5 students a year will be accepted into the major to ensure classes are available for them to graduate in four years . The small number of students will also allow academic advisers to work closely with speech majors .

Balancing work and family responsibilities is an ever-increasing issue among employees as well as employers. Dr. Graeme Russell, a researcher from Macquarie University in Australia, is working with organizations to address these issues. In bis keynote address for the president's special forum "Finding the Safety Valves: Easing the Pressure and Stress at Work," he said stress is in every job. Russell said he has found no matter what type of job a person holds, there is a potential for stress. The reason balancing work and family life is an increasing problem is because the labor force is changing. He said more women are in the workplace and the number of dualincome families is increasing. He also said more men have become involved in the family life. "This is not simply a women's issue," Russell said. Russell works with companies to identify their specific needs and design strategies to cope with the

the Council of Student Clubs and Organizations, it has started the application process . The club will not have a formal presidency, but will function more as a coalition of people working ~ogether on projects and issues. "This goes along with the [Green Party's] goal of decentralization," said Myq Larson, an avid Green Party member. "Instead of coming out of Washington, it's at the grassroots level. " About 10 people turned out for the coalition's first meeting last Thursday evening. This group will be participating in some of the Homecoming activities this

week, including the parade on Saturday. In addition to focusing on local issues and community involvement, the organization will support the Green Party's nomination of presidential candidate Ralph Nader. Crystal Kendell, a party member , said one of their proiects will be to organize shadow deba tes with the College Republicans and College Democrats to discuss election issues. The coalition will favor the 10 key values that make up the Green Party's platform. These include ecological wisdom, non-violence, decentralization of political and

economic institutions and personal and global responsibility. Larson said the group's immediate goals are to get voters registered and informed about alternatives to the two-party system. The long-term goal is not to work from election to election, but to get people's whole attitudes and values to change . One of the biggest attitudes that the party has had to tackle, Larson said, is the idea that voting for a third party is "throwing away your vote." "You might have to lose a battle to win a war," Larson said. "It's probable that Nader won't win, although

others

weirder things have happened. You have to think far ahead concerning things like environmental issues. [Things like] the environment work on a different time scale." The Green Party Coalition encourages other third-party organizations, like the Natural Law or Libertarian parties, to form on campus as well, Larson said . "The more parties, the better," he said. "With two parties there is only black and white, but with the issues the Green Party considers, the more dialogue you have, the more likely you are to come up with a sustainable solution."

Two middle school students wound each other in a fight, with same gun ALAN CLENDE~NING

Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS - Two teen-age boys shot and wounded each other with the same gun during a fight at their middle school Tuesday after someone slipped the weapon to one of them through a fence, authorities said. The boys, ages 13 and 15, were in critical condition. Witnesses said the two eighth-graders had argued before the shootings. The younger boy got the gun from someone outside the chain-link fence and shot the 15-year-old, only to have the older boy grab the gun and shoot him, police Lt. Marlon Defillo said. Students must pass through a metal

detector to enter the school. Police did not immediately know the name of the person who handed over the gun but believe he may have once attended the school, Defillo said. Officers circulated a description of him in the neighborhood, a mix of lowand middle-income homes not far from St. Charles Avenue, a ,eafy boulevard lined with elegant antebellum mansions. The shooting happened just before noon in a breezeway between the main building at Carter G. Woodson Middle School and the cafeteria, where hundreds of students were eating lunch. Police recovered the .38-caliber revolver. Mike Smith, a 14-year-old seventhgrader, said he heard the shots, and

"everybody started running." He added that teachers made the students stay inside classrooms until it was safe. More than 100 parents hurried to the school and lined up outside as officials let small groups enter the Quilding to get their children. One parent said recent violence at the school had made her daughter fearful. "She was afraid to come to school two weeks ago because boys were fighting," Beronica Lewis said as she hugged her daughter Neshetta, 14, outside the building. "I told her she'd be all right. Now I'm just afraid for my child." The school is among modest pastel► SEE

LOS ANGELES - A former basketba!I player whose pro career spanned the globe was gunned down in an alley while making a run from his mother's house for chicken wings and French fries. Charles "Buster" Matheny, 44, was found with multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body about 8:20 p.m. Monday in the unincorporated community of Walnut Park about seven miles southeast of downtown, Deputy Boris Nikolaf said. Paramedics pronounced Matheny dead at the scene. , Three suspeqs believed to be i!} a late-model beige 1 Ford Expedition were being sought Tuesday. Matheny played with professional ba~ketball teams overseas m Argentina, Australia, Italy, Mexico and the Philippines up until a few years ago, his mother, Annie Matheny, said from her home Tuesday. Mrs. Matheny said her son left to get some chicken wings and French fries from a nearby restaurant Monday night and she started getting dressed for bed. A short time later, authorities arrived to tell her her son was dead. "He came out of the chicken place and some body started firing," she said. "Baby, I don't know what happened. " Mrs. Matheny said she went to the crime scene,

but wasn't able to get close to her son's body. She didn't know if he was robbed or what motivated the gunmen to kill her son. Deputies said the motive remained under investigation. Matheny played basketball for the University of Utah and was all-conference in 1978. He led the team in scoring in 1977-78 with 18.1 points-per·game and led the team in rebounding the season before with 6.7 re bounds-per-game. He was 18th all-time in the school's scoring average and was sixth all-time in field goal percentage. Matheny hadn't played much basketb;ill latejy _ except for a game every Sunday with fe'llow · "seniors," his mother said jokingly. Matheny had been living with his mother and getting up early every morning to mow lawns because he had been out of work, she said. Friends from Australia had already called to offer their condolences Tuesday morning, Mrs. Matheny said. Matheny had a lot of friends in Australia, and his mother had visited him when he played over there, she said. "He was very, very friendly," she said. "If you meet him, you like him. Buster was very easygoing." Matheny left behind a 4year-old daughter who "loved the ground he walked on," Mrs. Matheny said.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)- Fish caught in the Sierra Nevada could be contam inated with high levels of mercury left over from California's Gold Rush days, according to a federal report released Tuesday. , The U.S. Geological Survey said the toxic environmental pollutant was found in fish collected last year fro1:, several lakes and streams in Nevada, Placer and Yuba counties north and northeast , of Sacramento. The mercury levels are high enough to merit further study, but below the level where the Food and Dru g Administration will have to take action . Ingesting mercury can cause nerve damage and developmenta l disorders. Mercury residue still lingers in many Sierra lakes and streams from the days when it was used to separate gold from ore. The USGS studied 141 samples of fish, including catfish, bass, trout, and sunfish. Meth ylmercury, a neurotoxin that is especially detri mental to chilrlren, was found to be most prominent in predatory fish like bass and brown trout.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The state Supreme Court on Tuesday unanimously affirmed the disbarment of former St. George lawyer Gary Pendleton, who was punished for his habitual use and distribution of methamphetamin e. "In light of Pendleton's serious criminal misconduct, the disciplinary court correctly concluded that disbarment was the appro\J priate presumptive sanction," Chief Justice Richard Howe wrote. Pendleton was disbarred in January 1999. Before that, he was a noted attorney who defended many people charged with drug ·1 offenses. He was convicted of methamphetamine possession in 1997, two years after a Utah State Bar witness claimed he provided , Pendleton with drugs in lieu of attorney's fees. Pendleton was also accused of using the drugs with a client in his office and directing people, including cljents, to procure the drugs for him.

Studentsconcernedoverparking,ask manyquestions NICOLE

R. GRUBBS

Sti,ffWriter Some students are still expressing concern and raising questions about the new parking policies on campus. Teresa Johnson, office manager at the Parking and Transportation office at Utah State University said there have not been many more complaints than in past years, but students have had more questions. 'We are always willing to answer any question," she said, "The office staff has done their best to resolve the concerns of students." Parking permits do not guarantee.a place to park, according to the USU Parking and Transportation Web page. Many students have purchased economy passes, allowing them to park at the stadium or the area below Old Main Hill. The Web site lists other options. Ten dollars of Terrace yarking can be purchased for $9, or $20 can be purchased for $18. Lot B passes, which can be used to park in the lot east of the Terrace for two hours, cost $3 5. Students are charged $1. 50 for each additional hour they park

there. Johnson said parking is not a problem because the stadium and shuttles are available to the students. "There is/lenty of parking," she sai . Many students encounter difficulties at the beginning of the semester, but they learn which areas they can and cannot park in, she said. However, some students have found parking to be a recurring problem. Tennile Frazier, a sophmore, purchased a B Lot pass and said she finds it difficult to park in that lot because there are more passes than parking spaces. "I'm paying for something that I can't use half the time," she said. Other students have found parking in their own residence hall to be a problem. Amanda Harvey, a sophmore living in Greaves Hall, has found parking places reserved for residents are often taken by students not living in that hall and they are not being ticketed, she said. Harvey said sometimes the overflow parking lot is also full. "I alwayshave a problem finding a place to park and I

CHANGES IN PARKING POLICIES have increased some students' difficulty in finding parking spots

on campus./Paul Jackman photo know that if I park illlegally I will get a ticket," she said. The penalty for disobeying a policy usually involves a citation, with fines ranging from $8 to $100. The tickets may be appealed, according to the Web page. Students who

decide not to appeal or pay their fines may have privileges denied or holds placed on their registration, transcript or diploma. Students who accumulate four or more tickets are subject to wheel-lock or towing of their vehicle.

Ambulances may take longer in rural Utah areas SALT LAKE CITY (AP)A decline in volunteers and long driving distances means ambulances might not arrive in time to save huntin victims or others hurt in Utah s rural areas. Jan Buttrey, Utah emergency medical services director, said some of the state's most popular deer hunting and recreation areas aren't anywhere close to a hospital or even an ambulance. Whether a person survives may depend on what treatment they receive in the fust hour following an accident, referred to"as the ");;olden hour" by emerg'ency'crews. In rura! 1Utal;>.,the golden hour 'may',,um int9 the "golden day," But<r~'ysam. tAmany of ' iliose cases, the victim often

dies before or shortly after medical help arrives. People who live along the Wasatch Front are accustomed to an ambulance coming to their aid in four minutes or less. But for the large, rural portion of the state, the average ambulance response time is more than 4 5 minutes, Buttrey said. Sixty-five percent of all ambulance service in Utah is run by volunteers, and Buttrey said it's getting more and more difficult to find those volunteers. For example, in Box Elder County, one of the state's most popular deer hunting areas, all ambulances are run by volunreers and there are ni;>r~gister~d paramedics in the county In the town of Grouse

Creek, in Box Elder County, the only ambulance is a 1981 Chevy Suburban. The nearest Utah hospital is in Tremonton, 150 miles away. Anyone injured in boating or other accidents on Flaming Gorge Reservoir, which attracts more than 2 million people every summer, also has limited choices. "They can either go 120 miles to Rock Springs (Wyo.) or go over 70 miles of rough roac to VernaL" Buttrey said. "People need to realize they're not going to get the same response as in Salt Lake City." To avoid emergency-care problems, Buttrey urged deer hunters and ·recreationists to take precaution$ ~ch ~s bucklihg their seat belts, wearing bike helmets and letting people

know where they are hiking. "The best way to take care of an accident is to prevent it from happening in the first place," Buttrey said. Lynn Yeates, Box Elder County sheriff's chief deputy, who is also the EMS chief for Brigham City Ambulance, also advises people to have cell phones, food, water and some basic first-aid training when they go off into the wilds. But Yeates cautions people not to feel complacent just because they have cell phones. You may have to drive 20 or 30 minutes just to get reception. Then, victims often don't know where they are. ' , "You have to find yourself before we can find you, " Buttrey said.

Bush accuses Clinton administration of 'Education Recession' BoBKEMPER

Chicago Tribune

PORTLAND, Ore. Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush criticized Democratic rival Al Gore Monday, saying the failed education policies of the ClintonGore administration have allowed America's public school system to slump into an "education recession." While acknowledging the limited role the federal government plays in public education, Bush said Gore failed to provide the national leadership on an issue crucial to America's economic health, allowing standardized test scores to drop to a "crisis" level while Gore toyed with educational "fads and fashionable theories." "Since taking office, the vice president has really not led on this issue . He came into office promising change. but instead has defended the status quo and he's resisted real reform," Bush said. 'Vice President Gore's administration has focused on

everything except what rnaners most, on process not on children, on regulation not on results," he said. Bush appeared at an elementary school where student test scores improved significantly aher school administrators called for a back-to-basics approach that emphasized math, science and particularly reading. "The most urgent of (education's) needs is the return to fundamentals ... with a strong focus on results," Bush said. "Yet, the vice president offers fads and fashionable theories . "Just the other day, the secretary of education announced Gore's three R's for education : Relationshi,rs, Resilience and Readiness, Bush said. "Now that sounds nice, but what happened to reading)" The Texas governor reiterated his promise to spend $5 billion over five years to ensure that all students can read at grade level by third grade. He wants to expand the federal Head Start program to include reading programs

!Briefs

To measure the advancement of students and the success of schools, Bush wants all students tested annually between the third and eighth grades. Schools that fail to adequately teach literacy would be given three years to improve. Schools that do not improve will see some federal funding withdrawn, money that would go to parents who could use it to send their child elsewhere. "Texas has ended the education recession and I intend to end the education recession in every public school in America." Indeed, mllch of what Bush is proposing in his campaign mirrors what has been going on in Texas during his administration . There, test scores have improved not only among white students, but among blacks and Hispanics as well. Bush said the tests are critical in judging what school or program is most effective. Critics charge that Texas teach ers now spend most of their time "teaching to the test" and skipping other lessons or

approaches that might benefit individual students more . Test critics also charge that the examinations appear to favor white students over minorities. "I've heard all the arguments in the world about how testing is discriminatory against minorities, " Bush said . "Now, what 's discriminatory against minorities is giving up on our children . That's discriminatory against minorities." While he criticized the way the federal government is handling public education, Bush quickly volunteered to a group of parents and educators at Bethany Elementary School in Beaverton that he has no plans to abandon public school. "I know this may sound a little different from most Republicans who have run in the past," Bush said. "Our party always used to say, "Vote for me, I'm going to abolish the Department of Education .' The problem wit~ that is that a lot of people forgot "the department of' and all they heard was, 'Vote for me, I'm going to abolish public education."'

No matter how many problems an individual student encounters, he or she should be aware of the policies and procedures of parking. Johnson said the program has been approved and will be implemented in the future.

SaltPalace in need of • expansion SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau will recommend this week that the Salt Palace Convention Center be expanded again to help improve the city's flagging hotel occupancy rates. While hotels are being built across Salt Lake County; occupancy rates are not keeping pace with construction. The b_ureau plans to release a report to die County Commission on Thursday that says expanding the Salt Palace would draw more people to the area, filling those hotels. The report shows there were 10,714 hotel rooms in 1994 and are expected to be 17,355 in 2001, a 62 percent increase. Meanwhile, 80 percent of hotel rooms were occupied in the mid- I 990s compared to a projected 64 percent in 2000 and 60 percent in 2001 . Salt Palace expansions were completed in 1983 and 1996 and a $37. S million expansion that began 14 months ago is due to be completed next month . The latest expansion included 370,000 square feet of exhibit space and a 45,000-squarefoot ballroom - an increase of 114,000 exhibit square feet and 10,000 extra square feet added to the ballroom . There is no estimate on the cost or size of the proposed expansion. County Commissioner Brent Overson said further expanding the Salt Palace would help Salt Lake City keep pace with other regional convention locations, which are also expanding their convention facilities.

>S1RESS AT WORK From Page 1 grams" to treat the symptoms. The goals of employers should be to provide a workplace where employees can manage work and family; diversify the employee profile at all levels - age, race and gender - and retain quality employees, Russell said . "The element of control is fundamental," Russell said regarding balancing of work and home . Russell said doing these things can significantly increase productivity in the workplace. The average increase is usually between 10 and 1 5 percent . This comes in the form of increased effectiveness, cre ativity and a retention of talented people .

In a panel discussion following Russell 's address, these issues were localized to Utah State University and Cache Valley . Carrie Stott of Child Care Resources and Referral said that women who are happy with their child care situation are more productive . She said the goal of Resources and Referral is to help every parent be happy with their child care . "I do see great strides in that direction," Stott said. In the area of flexibility , Annalyn Nielson, a senior in psychology , said organizing her priorities and having a job that works with her difficult schedule as a student are helpful. Teresa McKnight, services

coordinator at USU Research Park, said common sense and open communication are key to creating flexibility that works. "The challenge is to look for different ways for getting the job done," Russell said. Whether this be hiring two part-time employees or working from home , he said there needs to be creativity and planning . "The idea of 24-hour availability needs to be challenged," Russell said. The personnel office on campus provides assistance in getting help for stress management and other needs. A list of agencies can be found at personnel .usu .edu by clicking on the employee assistance link .

Dr. Joyce Brothers, one of America's foremost psychologists, will be at USU today speaking to students as part of the Homecoming festivities. This is the fust lecture of the year sponsored by the ASUSU Arts and Lectures committee and will be held at 1:30 p.m. in the Taggart Student Center Ballroom. Dr. Brothers will speak about relationships, as well as the effects of meaia on society. She will also field questions for 20 minutes after the main portion of her address.

Want to visit a national park

in Utah but don't want to deal with all the people? Don:t go to Zion or Bryce Canyon National Parks. Look no further than Capitol Reef, Utah's second least-visited national park. "Its a great national park to visit if you want to get away from the crowds," said Utah Travel Council Communications Director Tracie Cayford. "It's becoming more popular," said Seasonal Interprative Park Ranger Adrienne Gaugahn. However, some visitors pass through without knowing a park is there, she said. Visitation to Capitol Reef has declined in the 1990s. Ranked ninth most visited tourist attraction in Utah in 19.91,the park dropped to 14th in 1999, with 687,153 visitors. Capitol Reef is a jewel, Cayford said. Not only does the park offer a number of scenic drives, it also provides unique lodgings and restaurants in the nearby towns of Torrey and Bicknell, she said. First-time visitors of the park should stop at the VlSltOr center and watch a 10-minute slide presentation, Gaugahn said. She also suggests taking the 10-mile scenic drive that starts at the visitor center and provides access to easy hiking trails such as the Grand Wash and Capitol Gorge. The entrance fee for the scenic drive is $4 per vehicle. Vi~itors without much time to visit the park can take the drive on Hwy. 24 to see the panel of petroglyphs left by the Fremont culture, which

Cayford said is an easy stop with a boardwalk for pedestrians. Capitol Reef is much <lifferent than other Utah national parks because within its boundaries resides the old ghost town of Fruita and its orchards, Cayford said. vVhen the fruit is in season, visitors can pick it themselves at an inexpensive price, Gaugahn said. Within the town ofFrnita, Gaugahn said visitors should stop by the old Fruita schoolhouse, a oneroom log building used from 1896 until 1941, when it was closed due to a lack of students. Today visitors can hear a recorded message by one of the teachers at the old school. A tour of Frnita would not be complete without a visit to the Gifford farm house, she said. At the historic stucco structure visitors can enjoy craft demonstrations and a gift shop with work by local artisans. For more hearty hikers, Gaugahn suggests walking to Hickman Bridge, a moderate, one-mile trail. The bridge is named for Joseph Hickman, a former principal of Wayne High School and a prominent Wayne County resident, said Park Ranger Cindy Doktorski. Hickman and his brother-inlaw create<l a tourism booster club in 1921 that publicized the scenic beauty of the area between Torrey and Hanksville, known locally as

Wayne \Vonderland, she said. (\.fter being elected to the state legislature in 1924, he introduced a bill in an effort to set aside land in the Fremont River valley as Wayne Wonderland State Park . Unfortunately, Hickn1an died in a drowning accident in 1925, more than a decade before the area was designated a national monument in 1937. The park didn't receive national park status until 1971. One of the unique attractions in Capitol Reef is the Waterpocket Fold in the south-

, The Outdoor Recreation Center has been a long-time resource for USU students who enjoy the outdoors. Since the late 1970s, it has been offering diverse outdoor programs and rental gear to students, and is now an integral part of the University. "\Ve have always seemed to be just off the beaten path, quite literally and metaphorically," said Kevin Kobe, the Center's director. "Literally we have been a force that encourages people to get off the campus' concrete and explore the natural world around us," he said. The ORC is offering an African Drum and Dance workshop Samrday where smdents can learn traditional dance and drum styles ofli\'est Africa and the Congolese. · The ORC also offers outdoor leadership courses for stµdents to develop outdoor skills

in a natural setting. "This weekend we are heading on our annual freshman Snake River float trip," Kobe said. "It's a great way to get people with similar interests together. Later on throughout the year we will have lots of other trips that people can get in on, especially when winter arrives and we start going to the yurt." The y11rtis a winter shelter the ORC maintains up Blind Hollow on national forest land. The circular, tent-like stmctnre has a wooden floor, solar power lighting, a wood-burning stove, cooking instrnments and bunk beds. It sleeps eight comfortably. "It is something we really take pride in," Kobe said. The ORC also has rental gear available for student use. "One of our vision statements is to provide stu<lents with high quality rental equipment at an affclrdable price," Kobe said. Rental gear includes telemark an<lcross country ski

packages, snow shoes, kayaks, canoes, tents, backpacks, climbing gear and more. "This year we've gotten brand new Tua backcountry skis and Black Diamond T3 telemark boot~," he said. "It is some of the best gear out there on the market." Throughout October, canoes can he rented for $10 a day and $15 for the entire weekend. "October is an excellent time to go and see migratory birds our in the marsh," Kobe said. Besides offering gear and programs, the ORC has been a valuable source of information about outdoor activities.The center has a large library \\~th a complete collection of topographical maps, magazines and instructional books.The staff is experienced and very knowledgeable in all aspects of outdoor-related acti,ities, Kobe said. For more information on rental prices or upcoming activities, call the ORC at 797-3264, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Climbing club offers variety of outdoor activities JULIE SVLUNGA

Staff Writer

Anyone who loves the mountains can fin<la plethora of activities available with the Mountain Climbing Club. The Mountain Climbing Club plans all kinds of ac-tivities like back-country skiing journeys, hiking and rock climbing for people of all skill levels, sai<l club president Kit Peterson. Some planned activities include a trip to the Tetons this weekend, a trip to Zion National Park later this semes-

ter and a skiing trip to Big Sk-y Ski Resort in Montana at the end of the semester. Details are usually given at club meetings or are sent to members via e-mail. One of the club's recent activities was held at Adventure Sports Gym. Local band Montana Slim perfonne<l and prizes were given to those attending. The event was sponsored by Al's Sporting Goods, The North Face and Adventure Sports, Peterson said. "There were awesome prizes

and a good turnout," said club member Annie Brown. Peterson said throughout the week hikes or climbs up Logan Canyon are always planned. Studmts join beuause they can rock climb without personal gear, or because they're simply looking for someone to go hiking, climbing, snow-shoeing or back-country skiing with, he said. Smdents can contact duh president Kit Peterson or vicepresident Bryan Cardell at 7878434 for more information.

em portion, Gaughan said. The park service calls it "a nearly 100-mile long warp in the Earth's crust." It contains exposed layers of rock that intertwine Fremont culture and pioneer history, she said. Any passenger car can navigate the gravel portions of\Vaterpocket Fold road, but in wet conditions a high clearance vehicle is recommended, she said. Four-wheel drive vehicles are recommended for the Cathedral Valley, a spectacular but little-known section in the north en<l of the park, she said.

Gaughan said no dogs are allowed on any trail within the park and visitors during the summer months should be aware of the possibility of flash floods. Visitors should also not feed the park wildlife and be prepared. There are no gas stations or grocery stores within park boundaries, she said.

Election resultswill affect environmental issues This y<'ar's general election has the potential to be the most important for environmental issues in many years. Since 1992, there has been a division ~----------~ between the White House and ~ Congress, which ~ has led the passing of environmental leg1slat1on wr l rt nearly to a standwO V€ Oil still. This year, however, races for many seats are close, and the presidential elec tion, according to USA Today, is the closest in 30 years. Having a single partisan majority in control of the federal government would make it easier for either party to pursue their issues. This could have a dramatic effect on outdoor recreation and environmental protection, nationally and locally. If George W. Bush wins the presidency and the Republicans gain control the White House, environment a l issues will be controlled primarily by state governments According to Bush's issue statement, there is too much federal control over land. According to his Web site, local governments should have the responsibility of governing their own lands. Local leaders know better than the federal government how to manage lands and maximize both environmental protection and economic wellbeing, Bush said. Bush's environmental record is frowned upon by many environmental groups, which claim

his record in Texas is proof of his low regard for environmenta! policies. Texas is ranked 49th in spending for state parks, and Houston was ranked last year by the EPA as having the ... . ,_ ,. worst air pollution for a metropolitan area in the United States. With Democrats in control, the federal government will continue the recent increase in national park and monument designations, federal environmental protection laws and spending. If the Democrats win a majority in Congress, the passing of federal environmental protection bil Is will increase. Republicans fear that with Democrats in power, environmental legislation will eclipse the need for continued economic growth. They fear businesses will have to increase spending to comply with new environmental regulations that call for a higher standard. Those expenses will be passed on to the consumer and could have a trickle effect on economic prosperity. There is also the growing interest in third party politics. These new parties spawn new ideas and promote ideas that may not win an election but get people thinking and addressing issues. The Green Party, for example, is known for its pro-environmental and

OUJDQQRS Jim

anti -cooperate position. These issues are be ing discussed and receiving media coverage . For example, the presidential nomination of the Green Party is Ralph Nader , a veteran lobbyist against large cooperations . Business Week had a cover story documenting and criticizing the role of cooperation in elections. The effect may not be direct, but it definitely forces a broader view of policy. No matter who wins the presidency and a majority in Congress , the effects will be felt locally. Management plans at national monuments like the Escalante-Grand Staircase will reflect the influence of the dominating political party . The future of the controversial Legacy Highway largely depends on who is elected governor of Utah. Many bills involving access and wilderness of Utah's public lands have been proposed by senators and representatives from Utah . Local county and city officials will dictate the future of open areas in Cache Valley and the future development of Logan Canyon. The future of our land is dictated by politics. No matter how many surveys or studies are made, politicians rnake the ultimate decisions. Environmental issues are not all voters' priorities but they do affect everybody. Students have the power to make a difference by becoming educated and voting. Jim Wolverton is a senior majoring in journalism. Comments can be sent to jwolverton@hotmail .com

When you stand atop Bald uuntain and survey the slopes elow, the intimate grid of owntown Ketchum and the awtooth Mountains all around, ou have to admit that 1936 as a guu<l year for Count Felix chaffgotsch of Austria. It was then that young Schaffgotsch, a sometime ski instrnctor hired by Union Pacific Railroad Chairman W Averell Harriman, found this patch of high, dry, scarcely peopled central I<lahu. This, the count declared, having already spurned Jackson Buie, Aspen and Salt Lake City, was the place. This would be the best spot for North merica 's first European-style ki resort. And so Harriman pought a roughly 4,000-acre anch, bankrolled the invention f the modern chairlift and ilt and opened a destination leiresort - all before 1936 was ver. He also persuaded Ernest I 1ingway~Gary Cooper and vanous ocher celebrities to set the tone for the place by visitg in the resort's earliest years. Sixty-four years later, the resort still draws the rich and ous, and these days summer ings more visitors than winter. In July, I myself was attractd by the valley's scenery and story, but I was afraid of todginess and that feeling of ing forgotten you sometimes et from a resort in the wrong ason. The ride up 9,150-foot Bald Mountain from the River Run chairlift was enough to halt those worries. As you rise, you sec your options spread across the valley: the hikers, the bikers, the anglers in Big Wood River, the skaters (on ice and pavement), the boutique browsers of upscale downtown Ketchum (the valley's commercial hub) , an<lthe prospective home buyers there, who face a median housing cost of about $700,000. Although swollen by wealthy cahin-building part-tim ers from \Vashington and California, the year-round population in the Woo<l River Valley, including Ketchum, Sun Valley, the condo village of Elkhorn and the towns of Hailev and Bellevue (where m;ny of Sun Valley's service workers live), is estimated at 15,000. Since 1994, says Sun Valley Resort spokesman Jack Sibbach, July and August have consistently surpassed December, January and Febrnary as the resort's busiest months, with occupanc y running more than 85 percent . Since 1998 the resort has been running lifts in summer to carry mountain bikers an<lsightseers up Bald Mountain. (A snack bar and

picnic tables wait on top.) The resort is roomy, and so is the mountain. Resort statistics show that the ski lifts, which carry about 2,900 skiers a day in winter, carry about 300 people per day in summer, of whom fewer than 50 bring hikes. I made sure to reserve rooms before arriving, and I saw quite a few "No Vacancy" signs dur ing the weekend, especially in the area's few old motels, such as the Ski View Lodge and the Ketchum Korral (both of which offer very rnstic rooms and cabins in the $55-to-$90 range, and both of which are up for sale). But I never felt crowded - on the mountain, on town streets or in the shops. I checked into the Sun Valley Lodge the first night and was provided with a comfortable and spacious room for $154 a night. The lodge, whose 1936 walls are concrete slabs stained and styled to resemble logs, is well appointe<l. Its 148 rooms are surrounded by all sorts of amenities, from golf course, tennis courts , fancy dining room and casual restaurants to glass-enclosed pools, skeetshooting setup, howling alley and opera house (which serves as a movie theater most of the time). The complex also includes six luxury cottages, the 113-ruum Sun Valley Inn (cheaper than the lodge) and about 600 condominiums , all built since 1965. Must are privately owned, but the lodge rents out more than 100 of them. On my first mornin g in the vallev, I drove over to the resort's River Run ski lodge at the base of Bald Mountain, rented a bike ($40, but you can

find bikes for $5 tu $8 less), bought a lift ticket ($20 in summer, a fraction of the winter price) and spent several hours bouncing down the mountain on a conveyance called a K2 Disco Monkey. There are 28 miles of summer hiking and biking trails on the mountain. I hooke<l up with a group of locals, and we spent three hours covering nearly half of them, a descent that took us from 9,000 feet above sea level to 6,000 feet. We rambled most of the way on dusty, 3-footwide trails, sometimes crossing open slopes, more often threading between trees and braking for hairpin turns near the mountain's base. For rafting, look northwest (about 90 minutes from Sun Valley up Idaho Route 75) to the hamlet of Stanley and the stretch of the Sahnon River just above it. Pressed for time, I took a S67.50 half-day excursion with tl1e River Co . in Stanley - a pleasant, family-friendly float that covered about 12 miles of river in two hours. On the sixpoint scale that river runners use to grade severity of rapids, this stretch generates nothing more than a few 2s and 3s. For hikino-, a visitor in greater Ketchum finds nearly limitless options . The most striking are in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, which covers a gorgeous chunk of land between Ketchum and Stanley. There are 40 peaks over 10,000 feet, 300 high mountain lakes and segments of t~e Sahnon, Snake and Payette nvers. In between outdoorsy excursions, Ketchum and Sun Valley serve up plenty of amusements, from the Saturday night iceskating shows on the rink behin<l Sun Valley Lodge to arty spots such as the 6,000square-foot Gail Severn Gallery in Ketchum. A few blocks from Ketchum's shopping streets lies the Ketchum Cemetery, where literary visitors make a pilgrimage. Here , under a pair of tall evergr eens, lie Ernest Hemingway and his fourth and last wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway. Hemingway is another part of Sun Valley's summer identity. He didn't like skiing, and when the resort invited him , he chose to come in Septemb er 1939.

Fo r experienced anglers and first-time fisherman alike, Cashe Valley offers the "perfect catch ." T he chance of catching fish for less-experienced fishermen is around 7 5 to 90 percent, said Kent Sorenson, regio n al fisher ies manager for Cache Valley. Someone who has never fished before has even less of a chance, so an inexperie nced fisherman shoul d bring alon g a fairly accomplished angler their first time out, he said. Logan River, Bla~k Smith Fork, Hyrum Dam, Newton Dam, Bear River, Porcupine Reservo ir, Little Bear River, Tony Grove, First Dam and Third Dam are all very good spots to fish, he said. AJI of these regularly stock fish duri ng the summer, said Mark Oakey, fishin& department manager at Al's Sporting Goods. It is easy access to go and catch fish.

There is a perception, widely held in the public eye, that years spent at college are the best years of one's life. They' re supposed to be full of experiences, or so the maxim goes. Students travel, see the world, have fun and learn about life in the process. "Trave l and/or study abroad is an oppornmity for students to expand their hori-

zons ... to make the world a smaller place," said Kay Forsyth, director of Utah State University's Study Abroad program. Travel - whether international or domestic - gives students a look at the things that make the world a diverse place culturally, geographica!ly and otherwise, Forsyth said. For many students, however, one thing stands in the way of all that - money. And students need not be constrained by lack of money. "Just shop around," Forsyth said. "Not only Web sites, but local travel agents offer discounted airfare." The Study Abroad office offers ways for students to find that discounted airfare, as well as other discounts Forsvth said. The office sells discount cards, available to all registered students, that travelers

For nonresidents the seasonal price is $42 for peop le 14 and older; a day license is $7 and a seven-day license is $17. "For fly fishing I like to use artificial flies," Oakey said. "The Caddis Fly works really well. May flies are very predominant in the rivers up here," he said. "The best thing I've found for Logan River is arti ficial flies and lures on ly - things that don't represent true insects that are big and colorful attract fish," Sore nson said . Each fishing spot has its own regu lations on how ma.ny fish one person can catch per day and the kinds of bait and lures allowed, Sorenson said. A comp lete list of limits and lures for each location can be found by calling Oakey at 752-5151.

From the highway bridge at Red Banks Campground upstream to the Idaho state line, including all tributaries, is closed Jan. l to 6 a.m. on the second Saturday of July to protect spawning fish, Sorenson said. Before an annual fishing license is purchased, persons 14 and older must purchase an annual ·wildlife Habitat Authorization . One -day fishing licenses, reciprocal fishing stamps and ~pe.ciallicenses do not fall under this rule. A fishing license can be purchased for the day, week or season.

ASTA warns travelers no t to put items like these in bags that will be checked during the flight. After arriving at her intended destination, a trave ler should be certain all her checked luggage is at the bag gage claim.

The ASTA suggests that travelers repo rt missing luggage as quickly as possible. Forsyth explained t he importance of knowing where safe places are in t he area you a traveling - no t only at night, but also duri ng th e day.

Mark Twain once said, "Travel is fatal to pr ejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness ... " That's the basis of why people travel: To learn and grow from new places and experie nces. How much growing can be done by a traveler trekking across Europe lugging four pieces of heavy luggage, or wh ose money was stolen in London, or who ran out of clean underwear in Mila n and is freezing because she thought Germany would be warm in Octobe r ? T he following suggestions migh t help travelers avoid these disasters. "Airlines can refuse to accept fragile or damaged pieces (of luggage)," said the Ame rican Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) \Veb site. T he ASTA also stresses travelers know in advance how man y bags they can chec k in or carry on, and size and weight restrictions. These regulatio ns vary from airline to airline.

abroad program at Utah State University. Forsyth also advised travelers pack "simple things that mix and match." The ASTA suggests choosing a wardrobe of basics that coordinate around one or two colors to help deal with space limitations. Before deciding the types of clothes to take, "check seasonal weather conditions for the area to which you will be traveling and include the necessities such as a raincoat or warm clothmg as appropriate." the ASTA said. In a pamphlet from USU study abroad, Rick Steves, a writer and avid traveler, tells of a time he traveled to London without bringing the right clothes. "I didn't even pack right. \Vhen locals retake their city in winter, dress is more formal. Climate charts are unreliable, so it's especially important to layer clothing," Steves said. "The weather was surprisingly mild and I had only a heavy ski coat - out of style and wav too hot." Another question raised by would-he travelers is what to do with valuables. Forsyth stressed carrying valuables "as close to your body as possible." She suggested concealing a neck pouch under a shirt

The cards are used with local travel agents and other compa nies and cost $22 in the Study Abroad office, Taggart Student Center, Room 304. But Forsyth said she wasn't endorsing the student identity card as superior to other methods of trave l; rather, she said, it is one of many options students can find if they take the time to look. Doing an Internet search using key words such as "cheap airfare" brings up Web page after Web page that offer airline auctions, comparison shopping and links to airline and travel agency Web sites.

WASFINGTO r - A long-stalhl bill renewing landmarkfederal programs for victims o domestic violence passed tre House on Tuesday after Presdent Clinton accused 1,wmakersof treating the measlfe like a political football. The renewal of the Violence Against Women Act, 1which pa.sed 415-3, authorizes $3.6 billim over five years for progra1mthat include law enforcerrent and judicial train-lhg, gr.uts fordomestic violence sMters, child abuse prevention 1rograms and a national lomestic violence hot {'Jine. It wis originally passed in 1

1994. Ii Mem>ers voting against the -fneasurewere Republican Reps. &!en Chenoweth-Hage of Ida he,John Hostettler of Indiana and Mark Sanford Jr. of Sout1 Carolina. L "Donestic violence is a ~ationa tragedy," said Rep . ConnieMorella, R-Md ., sponsor of ne legislation. "Reaunorization ... will continue n provide safe alterna tives frr victims while helping them o rebuild their lives and the liv-!sof their children .' ' Sail Rep. Sheila Jackson , Lee, D-Texas: "This bill is crucd. It is necessary. It is imperative." President Clinton said he was 1leased the House acted. "'Jhis vote affirms our commitoent to support the work

of state and local prosecutors, law enforcement agencies and health care and social service professionals throughout the country who every day respond to women who 'are victims of domestic violence, stalking and sexual assault," Clinton said in a statement. The landmark measure is to expire Sept. 30. Legislation to reauthorize the law has broad bipartisan support but has been held up in the lastminute crush of bills as Congress tries to meet a planned Oct. 6 adjournment date. Judiciary Chairman Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., said even if the bill has not received final passage by Saturday's expiration, action has been taken to keep money flowing. "It remains a priority of this Congress," Hyde said. On Monday, speaking before an audi~nce that included many women who were victims of family abuse, Clinton told Congress: "It is wrong to delay this one more hour. Schedule the vote." The president said the bill is being "used as a political football in Washington" as both parties jockey for advantage in the final days of the session. The measure remains with out a key provision that would allow rape victims to sue their attackers in federal court . The Supreme Court said in May that it is up to states, not Congress, to choose whether to protect women in that way,

As left by the Supreme Court, the law now essentially provides a federal dispensary for grants and programs aimed at preventing family violence and helping abused spouses normally women - flee it. The bill awaits action in the Senate, and Clinton demanded in his statement that action come quickly. "It is now time for the Senate to act," he said. "With over 70 sponsors in the Senate, there is no reason for delay." Senate Republicans have floated the idea of attaching the legislation to a bill that would overhaul the nation's bankruptcy laws. The twinned proposals would then be appended to one of the 11 appropriations bills that Congress still must enact to keep the government in opera-

USU's Solosabal brothers do everything together in sports, life REUBE"i WADS\\ ORl II

AssistantSports Editor For the Solosabal clan everything seems to be a family affair. \\'hether its working, basketball, dating, track or football -;--they do it together. Brothers Joe and Jared polosabal of the Utah State football team grew up playing ports together. In Idaho, both played forward on the Glenns Ferry High School basketball team. Both participated in track for the GFHS Pilots. Joe, the older of the two bv 17 months, ran the .relay while Jared threw the shot-put and discus. Their father owns a farm and a cattle ranch. They did that together, too. They laid pipe, worked with the cows and plowed fields of potatoes, hay and corn with the tractor, Jared said. The Solosabals had a lot of help from their other siblings on the farm - the family has 10 children,Joe is the seventh and Jared the eighth. vVhen they weren't on the farm, they were working in their mother's video store. "\Ve were always working on the farm or at the video store - wherever they needed us," Joe said. "They taught us how to work - our parents did - that's for sure." The brothers had about the same routine every day in high schol I. After football practice each a 'te rnoon they would go

Jared said Joe keeps him motivated.Joe walked on the team and got a scholarship the next year, Jared said. Jared hopes to do the same. He is not on scholarship now, but said he thinks he will be next ~eason. Surprisingly, the brothers' togetherness doesn't stop with sports, dating or working.

A.~with most everything, USU games have turned into a family affair for the Solosabals . The whole family, almost 50 people, attended the game against Southern Utah Sept. 9, Joe said. The Solosabal's parents and a grandmother made the trip to Tempe for the Arizona State contest last week.Joe said he has to find a lot of tickets to the BSU game. Like the SUU game, there should be 50 Solosabals in the audience when the Aggies travel to Boise Nov. 11, Joe said.

The Utah State University women's volleyball team will host California Polytechnic State University and the University of California at Santa Barbara this weekend for its first two home conference matches of the season. The Aggies have improved to a 10-3 record and are currently in an eight-game winning streak, the longest the team has recorded since 1980. This is its best season-opening record since 1979, and the first time ever in the history of the Big West Conference that the Aggies have started league play with a 2-0 record. The Aggies face Cal Poly Thursday night and will go up against UC Santa Barbara Saturday night. Both matches will begin at 7 p.m. in the Spectrum. Conference play began last weekend when USU faced the University of California, Irvine, and California State University at Fullerton. Although thP Aggies defeated each school, both teams took USU to five games before the Aggies could claim victory. In the other wins during the streak, USU has been clinching matches in just three or four games. Head coach Tom Peterson said the difference was consistency. "In both matches, we went up pretty early and pretty big," he said. "Against UC Irvine, we won 15-5 in the first game and then they came back to win 155 in the second. That's a fairly big turnaroud. We have to be more consistent." Looking forward to more conference play the remainder of the season, Peterson said the team needs to place third in the

The Utah State University hockey club has a lot to live up to this year. Last season was the best the team has ever had. The Aggies won the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Hockey Association title and placed fifth in the national tourney. They ended up with a 22-4-2 regular season record, including a I9-game winning streak - the longest in the team's historv - after a tie in the first game. Bui:most important about last season . to many of the players was a 3-1 record against arch rival '.Veber State . University. U SU beat the \Vildcat~ m the R,_\fCHA championship game with a score of 5-2. Aggie defenseman Danny \Vilson said

his squad is a good looking team that is comparable to the last few years. He said he thinks this year's team will be as exciting, if not more exciting than last year's. The Aggies lost team captains Nate Anderson and Alan Babicky, plus goaltender Eric Moldenhauer from last season, but still expect to be strong. In fact, fellow defenseman Aaron Sutliff said the team has replaced Moldenhauer with an even better goaltender, former first-team all-national player Quincy Martin. Another k_ey addition to the team is Nathan Pierce, a talented defenseman from Sandy, said USU assistant captain Aaron Burrell. "It's good to get a Utah-bred boy," Burrell said. . Joining Burrell with the captain · ~ duties this season are Ryan Keys, captain , and Deryk Anderson, assistant cap-

tain. Sutliff said he thinks USU's bigge}t loss was on its coaching staff. Assista.11t coach Greg Gutterman will not be returning this season. . "I've never been coached by a coach as knowledgeable as him," Sutliff said. Sutliff said there have been rumors going around recently that the team fill be shallow this year. That will not be the case because the veterans have taken up the slack, he said. All three players said the team ~hould be in the RMCHA title game again this year, hut each agreed the competition in the league has become a little tougher.

I think the coaching now fits our style of playing better. Our freshman and sophomore years, the coaching was so strict. Now we're more free in our play. We're able to try things that we weren't allowed to do before. [Head coach] Tom (Peterson] just lets us play. We compete in practice that's all we do in practice is compete.

I hope we keep it up. But [the recognition] is not just for me. It just happens that I had a lot of kills in our last match. But it's the team that is contributing. It's a team effort, not just me. US: How do you feel about being a team leader? DM : It's so fun! It's been so nice because we all (Mohlman, Amy Crosbie and Melissa Schoept) have been together for the four years, we all started when we were freshmen and have played the whole way through. It's fun being seniors; it's just weird that it's almost over. Each of us has our own style of leading and I think all those styles mesh well together.

After making less than half his field goals last season, USU kicker Brad Bohn is back on track this year, hitting 4 of 5 in three games. Bohn is again kicking like he did his sophomore season where he kicked nine field goals in a row twice. For his efforts BRAD Saturday, kicking two field goals of 38 and 36 yards against Arizona State University, he earned the Big West Conference special teams player of the week. It is the sixth honor of his career - the most any Aggie has had except Demario Brown, who earned eight. "I thought Brad played really well," said head coach Nlick Dennehy. "He had a couple of balls, where I don't think the snap and the hold were as clean as you would like to see them, yet he kicked the ball through very nicely." "I'm getting back into the groove," Bohn said. His outlook has improved, he said. Despite getting down on himself last season during a stretch where he missed 7of-9, he now sees those misses

in a different light. He kicked well, he said, but ma,ny were blocked or taken back because of penalties. Bohn is currently on a streak of four straight successful field goals. He made seven of his last nine, counting back to last year. "This is how I expect to kick," he said. So what was the difference between this season and the last? A lot, he said. BOHN Bohn visited Jacksonville this summer to train with Mike Hollis, kicker for the National Football League's Jacksonville Jaguars. He helped Bohn with mechanics, getting his motion to be smoother, more compact. Bohn, a 4-year letter winner at Laguna Beach (Calif.) High School in soccer, said he needed to learn to change his kicking motion from soccer to football. In soccer there are different motions to kicking, depending on the situation. But in football, Bohn said, the motion is the same - no matter if it is a chip shot or a 50-yarder. To prepare for games, Bohn practices by himself without a coach - kicking 50

The only time he practices with the team is in special team drills. Before kicking the ball in a game, all Bohn thinks about is getting the ball through the uprights. He doesn't think about mechanics. "I've kicked the ball so many times in my career that I know how to kick it," he said. It's just like kicking a penalty kick in soccer, he said, he just picks out a point in the stadium and focuses on that.

Taylorsville native Katie Seaman made a trip across the country to play soccer in the East for one year, but has decided Utah State is the place for her. Seaman, a 19-year old junior midfielder for the women's soccer team, left Seton Hall University in South Orange, N.]., after last season to play for the Aggies. After one year with the Pirates, perennial soccer powerhouses, why did she choose USU? "Utah State had recruited me previously upon my decision to play for Seton Hall," she said. "Out of all the schools, USU is a place where I felt I could be challenged academically, have fun and feel comfortable being myself." A lot of Seaman's decision to come to USU was based on head coach Stacey Enos. "I have a lot of respect for her as a person and a coach,"

Seaman said. "She is someone who has played the game and knows what she's talking about. If I ever have a question, I know I can go to her for the answers." "It was hard playing for Seton Hall at times," she said. "The coach would play me one game and then sit me the next." Four others also left the team in pursuit for more playing time. Though it has been frustrating up to this point of the season, Seaman said this year's team is the best the program has ever seen. "We're playing well as a team ," she said. "We just need to get into the right positive groove to really put the games away in the end." After graduation, Seaman hopes to study law. She is currently a double major in prelaw and political science. Seaman said she hopes to be able to continue to help get her team into the right mental attitude for the remainder of the season.

Romaniangymnastics Science is a bigger returns other medals part of the games NANCY ARMOUR

AssociatedPress SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Romania has returned its remaining two medals in the Olympic women's all-around gymnastics competition to protest Andreea Raducan's loss of her gold medal for taking cold medication containing a banned substance, Romanian nati,onal ,ti;.levisjopreported Tuesday.' · ' · "The g61d, silver and bronze medals have been returned although initially (coach) Octavian Belu favored keeping the gold and silver medals which the Romanians would have won anyway," Romanian TV said in the report from Sydney. Belu was reported to have said that 16-year-old Raducan had decided to give up gymnastics, television said. Belu could not be reached for further comment. The 4-foot-10, 82-pound Raducan was stripped of her gold from the women's allaround Tuesday after she tested positive for pseu• doephedrine, a banned stimu-• lant. She is the first gymnast ever to be stripped of a medal because of a drug violation. The action by the International Olympic Committee's executive board meant that Raducan's teammate Simona An1anar moved up to get the gold, while Romanian Maria Olaru got the silver. Liu Xuan of China then got the bronze . Raducan has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, and a hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.

The Romanian team doctor who gave her the drug was expelled from the games and suspended through the 2002 Wmter Games in Salt Lake and 2004 Summer Garnes in Athens. "In the fight against doping, we have to be tough and be blind to emotions and feelings," said Francois Carrard, the International Olympic Committee's dir.ector general. Raducan was allowed to keep her gold from the team competition and silver in the vault final. But losing the allaround gold was crushing for the wispy teen, whose dark coloring and pixieish charm evoked memories of Nadia Cornaneci , Romania's last Olympic darling. Even the IOC acknowledged that Raducan's case is not like most others. She took a common cold medicine, and it provided "no competitive advantage at that competition," Carrard said. Some 400 students, some chanting "Give the medal back," marched through the southern Romanian city of Craiova on Tuesday demanding that Raducan's gold be returned to her. "Thrown out for having a cold," read one poster. Romania has waited 24 years for a gymnast who could captivate the world like Comaneci, who scored the first perfect 10 at the Montreal Olympics in 1976. The Romanians have won dozens of Olympic medals since then, but could never capture the all-around, the biggest prize on sport's grand~ est stage.

Weightlifters generating enough energy in a single clean and jerk to illuminate your house - and your neighbor's. , ,., A t\Torld records are falling in' bunches at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The athletes' performances are the product of superb genes, hard work and, increasingly, science. Years ago, scientists physiologists, kinesiologists, nutritionists, biomechanists, even physicists -- began applying their knowledge to athletes. As a result, practicing a sport for hours is no longer enough to win. In the lungs of cyclists, they measure the maximum oxygen intake in milliliters per kilogram of weight per minute. In the fast-twitch muscle cells of a rower, they determine the use of energy-producing adenosine triphosphate and the buildup of fatigueinducing lactic acid. Using computers, videotape and sensors, they streamline the trajectory of a weightlifter's hoist or a gymnast's vault. ' Combined with more than 1,000 hours of intensive training a year, how much might science improve an Olympian's peak performance? Maybe 1 percent.

That's often the difference between a gold medal and a silver. For now. But are we reaching the upper limits of athletic performance? Are the world's top athletes, in the words of British biochemist Guy C. Brown, "doomed to battle ... over ever-diminishing fractions of seconds and centime.te

Or can more science help Olympic athlc:tes improve significantly? Both, Brown says. In a study published in the journal The Sciences, Brown reports about the steadily improving perfonnances of athletes since 1900. For example, the record time in the men's 1500-meter run has improved by about 10 seconds every quarter-century. Men historically have outperformed women, but the gap is narrowing. In a 1992 UCLA study, scientists predicted the women would outrun men, especially in endurance races such as the marathon, by 2035. By 2020, the editors of The Sciences predict, women will run the 10,000-meter race a full minute faster than men. But humans might soon reach the limits of physical fitness, Brown argues. The overall limiting factor for athletes is the heart's ability to pump more freshly oxygenated blood through miles of blood vessels. "If it could push more blood through the body, an athlete could run, swim, row or ride a bicycle faster than usual," Brown said.

The importance of casting a voteit affects YOU! affect students at Utah State University. The second column will examine the proposals of the two candidates and how their future legislation would affect Americans. The third column will investigate the rhetoric of the presidential candidates and its validity. In order to evaluate which candidate's tax plan will benefit Utah State students the most I'll examine both plans. (Note: Statistics are taken from U.S. News and The Washington Times). The Bush plan is going to reduce taxes over the board. However, we will focus on the two brackets that most students fall into: the $20,000 and under and the $40,000 and under.

The race is on! According to a U.S. News survey ~s of early September George W. Bush is short 61 electoral votes and Al Gore is short 76 votes. As of today the office of the president of the United States could go to either party. Understanding that many of the Statesman readers aren't interested in politics, especially the presidential race, I am beginning the first column of a three-part series that will illustrate why it is important to cast a vote in November. I will explain the importance of casting a vote by examining the fundamental differences between key ideologies and values of the two candidates. The examinations will be based on fact; interpretation from myself will only be used tQ explain the information more clearly. I will not skew or opinionate the fact. At the end you will be the judge. Even more the facts and information presented in this · series will be based on relevant information for college students, specifically i nformation that will directly affect the studejlt body of Utah State UniJtrsity. You will see that there are compelling reasons to vote for either Al Gore or George W. Bush. Generally, the three columns will be outlined in the following way: The first column is going to focus on the different tax ideologies of the two predominant parties and how !hese ideologies will

Know your stuff before spoutingoff Dear Editor, To effectively argue a case in any situation, one must be knowledgeable about that situation . Also, if a person is going to make a comparison to support his or her conclusion, that person must also have knowl edge of the details of that situation. The comparison to which I am referring is that between drug prohibition and alcohol prohibition . Perhaps the most frequent use of this "apt analogy" is to say that the ii legalization of alcohol in the early 1920s caused "a violent black market" immediately after prohibition came into effect.

What does it take to win a presidential race? Nice clothes, good looks and no brains ~

- in a respectful, manly way of course. I wanted to be Ralph Nader when I was a kid of 19. I thought you could actually do some good as a consumer advocate. I thought intelligent people got ahead. I thought suits and ties were optional if you were smart enough. In short, I was a stupid impressionable kid who might as well have believed in Big Foot or cheap, safe and clean nuclear energy. Ralph Nader has no chance to win because he still wears $100 off-the-rack suits and he talks about research and facts. HP's definitely not prelly , and as far as I know he hasn't slept with anyone famous. Ralph Nader hasn't sent anyone to war or execution, but he has saved a lot of lives and money through promoting meaningful legislation. In short, he is a political misfit. In an alternate world where things made sense, Nader would rule. I'm not sure what leadership is, but I'm pretty sure it has lit-

tie to do with intelligence or facts. George Bush and Al Gore are running neck and neck in this category. Our standards are pretty low. Come on, look around you. Is your boss the smartest person in the room? Does your boss have the best resume, or even a rudimentary understanding of the Heisenberg Principal of Uncertainty? We used to celebrate being smart. People used to actually come out just to see Albert Einstein get off a ship or train. He had bad hair and couldn't shoot a jump shot or play a Fender stratocaster. In fact, 99 percent of the people in the world could not ui:1derstaAd what he did, They just knew he was smart and they respected that. Such enthusiasm is now reserved for Britney Spearsand Mark MacGuirc because we can understand cleavage and home runs. "You don't get it" has become the catch phrase of every person who does not

established governments to compel citizens to obey some moral code. Thus all laws are based on morality and religion, and therefor all governments founded upon religion. During the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin gave his famous plea for daily prayer, saying, " ... except the Lord build the house they labor in vain ... without His co ncurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel." In his farewell address, George Washington stated that the two foundations for political posterity are religion and morality , and that no one could be an American patriot who tried Lo separate these two. The phrase "separation of church and state" comes from a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1802 . In the letter he assured the Danbury Baptist Church that the government would not infringe upon religious activity . The courts used this letter for 150 years as evidence to keep religious principals a part of government. For example, in 1844 the U.S. Supreme Co urt required schools to teach from the Bible saying, "Where can the purist principals of morality be learned so clearly or so perfectly as from the New Testament~" It wasn't unti I 194 7 that a court used the phrase "separation of church and state" out of context that people mistakenly began thinking that the intent of our Founders was to keep religion away from government and not gove rnment away

from religion. Before mentioning the rounding Fathers' views, read their writings, not our "politically correct" text books .

"Bush and Gore make me want to Ralph." - Michael Moore In an election year of sound bites, this is still my favorite. I was in Washington, D.C. a couple of m0nths ago and I got to see and hear Ralph Nader talk about his candidacy for president. He is intelligent, controversial, logical and he has never been a governor. Which is to say, he has zero chance of being president. He wasn't even invited to the debates. I admit I love Ralph Nader

have the time or surplus brain cells to explain what it is that they are doing , and every evangelical malcontent out there in the media. If you don't jo in in with a hallelujah chorus of agreement, it's because you don't get it. I don't get it. Nader, a lifetime consumer advocate and graduate of Princeton and Harvard, is struggling to gel 10 percent of the vote. Normally I would be required to give equal time to other presidential candidates, but Nader is so low in the ratings that he's not even going to be invited to thE:1 televised debates. I can probably skip that part.

Another common misconception is that prohibition didn't achieve its goals. At the time of prohibition, alcohol was an extremely lucrative business. It was not uncommon for towns to have one saloon for every 150 to 200 people. Per capita, alcohol consumption was at an alltime high . Then came prohibition . Suddenly thousands of people · were out of jobs. However, crime rates did not increase significantly until the late 1920s when the illegal supplies of alcohol were becom ing more available to the general public. This due to lack of enforcement. The original aim of prohibition was to REDUCE consumption of alcohol by eliminating the businesses that manufactured, distributed and sold alcoholic beverages. As a result of this measure, consumption of afcohol dropped

to 30 percent of pre-prohibition levels. Alcohol consumption per capita did not reach pre-prohibition levels until the early 1970s. Do your math. That is 40 YEARSafter prohibition ended. Had the funding and the backing behind the prohibitionist movements to both enforce the law and educate the public continued, what would have happened? So where is your compari son? No such economy exists, nor has it ever existed, for the majority of the drugs that are today illegal. And since prohibition worked as well as it did, you haven't really got much basis for comparison. My goal here is not to convince you of anything other than to stop using this unsubstantiated analogy to try and further your cause. Research your argument, then present it. Frederick Mirth

I cannot believe that you wasted a tree on such drivel as stating that Logan has nothing to do on a shoestring budget that most students live on. I have never seen a bigger lack of cranial volume than in the editors office of the Statesman for lettin g such tripe grace the pages of the school paper. The idea that students run this town and that the town should cater to such is not one of Logan's priorities. Yes, the University enhances the community but the community also provides plenty of activities. As students we all have the opportunity to attend, most of the time free of cost, University-sponsor ed programs as well as the community calendar of events. Students are generally only here for a few years and do not, on the whole, have the want or the desire to change this area. If you do not know how to have fun in Cache Valley , LEAVE, it would be much more pleasant without you. After all, this town is not just us, it is ALL those who make it home.

I read with interest Rich Timothy's column with respect to school prayer. He asks, "Why is this even a topic of discussion in this day and age?" My question is, which day and age does Mr. Timothy refer to? Is it the day and age where divorce rates are higher than ever? Is it the day and age in which pornography is readily available to our children over the Internet? The First Amendment reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." That was what the Founding Fathers had in mind. While they were predominantly Christian, they recognized that a country that didn't allow freedom for all beliefs would eventually disin tegrate and lose its status as a nation under God. We are and always will be one Nation under whichever God we choose to believe in . Rich Timothy is correct. Why IS thi s a topic of discussion today? Why, indeed, is it the topic of a weekly column? Let Congress, opinion writers, editors and policy makers discuss and bring to light solutions to real problems. Our children need schoo ls in which they feel safe. They don't need schools in which we bicker about whether or not we pray, or whose prayer we'll pray today.

The Utah Statesman• Wednesday,September27, 2000.

Watch out: College pranks can cause next world war and/or intergalactic destruction those "friends" for Christmas). Doesn't life just stink. Still, no matter how often you wake up in the middle of a bed full of onions because your next-door neighbor got bored, life can't get as bad as It did for Indiana Jones. Despite what we may have been told when we were younger, all of the action sequences that we thought were from his job as an archeologist were actually the effects of college pranks that were very well thought out. But, hey, at least he had a cool whip and a hat. Well, I feel that since this article may reach the hands of some of these said "friends," I had better issue a warning that IF YOU DON'T STOP YOUR HEINOUS ACTS, YOU M/\ Y I NADVCRTENTL Y TRIGGER EITHER WORLD WAR Ill OR INTERGALACTIC DESTRUCTION. Besides the fact that this excellent warning was written in ALL CAPS (something that causes mos,t people to quiver in their little red boots), there is some truth behind it. Many of the ~.tudents attending Utah State are either a. from a different country or b. from a different galaxy (like New Jersey). Playing "practical jokes" on one of these students could have severe detrimental effects. By simply throwing a lethal substance (i.e. your dinner) into the middle of your neighbors' living room, you may cause World War

MattWright Sit down and pul I up a chair. Hold on a minute ... strike that. Reverse it. Sorry if I made any of you think too hard with that last sentence. How many of you have ever been the victim of an ingenious prank that no doubt was done by one of your so-cal led "friends" (defined as any acquaintance who happens to be more evil than the devil) who somehow gets the biggest kick in the world from watching you suffer? Ah, by the number of hands I see, I guess most of us have. If you're like me, and we all know you are, most of your said "jokes" would probably fit into one of these three categories: 1. A "friend" decided to put little pieces of some kind of food (i.e. a pomegranate) into either your bed, your TV or your nasal cavity while you were sleeping. 2. A "friend" got some kind of animal (i.e. a squid) and put it in a very tactical part of your room. 3. A "friend" did something to your car (i.e. your Volkswagen Beetle). 4. All of the above (this is most Iikely accomplished by placing a sloppy pomegranate-eating squid into the driver's seat of your Volkswagen Beetle while you lay unconsciously dreaming of what to get

Ill. Like World War I and II (which were caused by those Iittle pranksters from Germany), World War Ill would probably start like this: A college student from a different country goes home after being the victim of a prank and heads straight to his father. "Oh Father dearest, I have something to tell you," he says. "What could that be?" asks his father. "I want you to blow up Utah." "OK." The next thing you know, there goes Utah (and hence, there goes you). Now, even though most politicians aren't sure were Utah actually is (or in this case, was) they will undoubtedly want to retaliate with a big bomb of their own. They will probably blow up some flea-bitten country with a name like Yazihgnemingstan that no one actually cares about or even knows the location of, but the rest of the world wi 11 respond by blowing up random countries of their own, and we will be in World War Ill. The fact of the matter, however, is that this is one of the better things that could happen to us. If a "pra nk" happened to be played on one of the "students" from a different galaxy, then the effects could go something like this: The alien college student goes home after being the victim of a prank and heads straight to his father. "Glucknigh

Hinknmaaaaklamat (Hi Father, can I tel I you something)," he asks. "HAKAI\GGFJSIDOJGYI LSYDI DNAJAIIEN (Sure)," replies his father. "Firdgeng Heinsoppet Utah (Could you blow up Utah)?" "AHANDl\#@FDJ/t%$AS ANII (OK)." This wouldn't be so bad if these aliens actually had the technology to blow up a small area. However, they don't. As a matter of fact, the smallest gun they possess is probably so big that the one they used in the Death Star (on the "Return of the Jedi") would have the fire power equivalent of throwing a dead fish at Mt. Rushmore. Hence, this gun would blow up not only Utah, but the Earth and the rest of the Galaxy. This, in most people's books, would be a bad thing. In others, it's just soso. i',;onetheless, I highly recommend that you stop your pranks now and go feed the squid in your Volkswagen.

► VoTE From Page 12 · you paid in taxes last year, then subtract this savings. It turns out that Bush will help many students at Utah State University. Now let's look at Gore. Gdre is not promising any across the board tax cuts as Bush is. Rather, Gore's tax cuts are in the form of "targeted tax subsidies," mostly for lowincome and some moderateincome families. As U.S. News reports, these tax subsidies (notice Gore is not promising tax cuts, rather, tax subsidies) will depend on a tax payer's "behavior" and "life circumstance." Gore has clarified those statements by saying that tax subsidies will go to those who participate in afterschool programs or food

stamps. Because it is difficult to determine who these people are there is no sure way to calculate who gets :ax subsidies. Howeve<, it is safe to assume the general population of Utah State students wi 11receive no help from Gore. So, you decide. Bush is promising to give your money back to you, and Gore is promising to give some "targeted" people "tax subsidies." Now, if one examines the hidden premises to the two tax ideologies many important truths are unveilPd. For instance, let's examine the core problem that almost all students have - money. Many of you are taking out loans to pay for school. Why? Because you

did not retain enough money from working to pay for school. Under Bush's plan you will have $6,000 to $2,000 more in your pocket, which coulrl c-utthe cwbtfor most of .,., you in half. Under Gore's plan you will have no more money, and your debt will continue to grow. You decide. Next column I will dissect the underlying frameworks that are associated with each candidate's tax cuts and other legislation and then analyze how this legislation uncovers the core philosophies of each candidate.

in the past few weeks, but it was unclear whether the shooting was related to those disputes, said David Bowser, a police spokesman. Police Chief Richard Pennington said investigators were checking into parents' claims that there has been a gang turf battle involving students at the schools. "We don't think this is gang-related. We think it was two children involved in a fight and a third person came and gave a gun," Pennington said. School Superintend ent Alphonse Davis said classes will be canceled for three days but the school will remain open for students who want to talk to counselors. \Vhen classes resume next week , two or three police officers will be assigned to the school, in addition to the l O usually in the neighborhood, police said. "This horrifying event brings too close to home the widespread proliferation of gun violence and underscores our fighting belief that handgun are too easily available to children," Mayor Marc Moria! said. In 1998, New Orleans was one of the first cities to sue gunmakers to recover the cost of gun violence and accidental shootings involving children. About 25 other municipalities have filed similar lawsuits.

court ordered Microsoft t submit its proposal by Monday afternoon, with a government response due following Thursday. The appeals court decided last summer the Microsoft case would be heard by the full appeals court, rather than a three-judge panel, thereby eliminating one level of appellate review. But antitrust experts said it still could be years before a final ruling. After hearing arguments in the case, the appeals court could uphold or reverse Jackson's rulings. But it also could send the case back to the judge for further hearings, either on whether Microsoft engaged in illegal conduct or whether a breakup is the proper remedy. In addition, Microsoft has asked that Jackson be disqualified from the case, and a new judge appointed, because of his comments about the case to the news media. "Theoretically, there's no upper limit" on how long it could take for the case to return to the Supreme Court, said New York antitrust lawyer Joseph Angland. He also said it could take as few as six months. "Microsoft is the greater beneficiary of any delay here because it's got the stay in place" that blocks the breakup, Angland said. Time may change a court's view of Jackson's breakup order, he added. "In a fast-moving market, who knows what the operating-system market will look like a year and a half from now?" Kovacic said it might be a good time for the government to return to the bargai~ing table with Microsoft.
