Utah sex education Assistant News Editor

Condom, birth control and safe sex are all words that won't be heard in the classrooms of Utah public schools without parental consent. Instead the Utah Legislature has passed a bill allowing teachers only to promote abstinence; any other discussion must be approved by parents. House Bill 411, which the Utah Legislature passed in February, only allows sex education to "stress the importance of abstinence before marriage and fidelity after marriage." According to the newly-amended bill, sexual instruction is limited only to abstinence and fidelity. Bill sponsor Rep. Bill Wright, RElberta, said teaching anything but abstinence in schools is dangerous and counter-productive. "All we do [when we don't teach abstinence] is confuse the integrity of the student and confuse the student," Wright said. "What benefit is proven from being sexually active before marriage?" Condom and contraceptive use could be taught in 1999, Wright said. Since HB 411 was amended, however, students must receive written permission from a parent before such things can be mentioned. "When we talk about contraceptives, we approve promiscuity," Wright said. But Wright's bill wasn't passed without criticism. Gov Michael 0. Leavitt vetoed the bill in March, and Utah State University Health Educator

Cynthia Allen said the bill encourages ignorance. Leavitt said he the bill's merit, but also said he thinks some changes are necessary before it could be fully implemented into Utah schools. "Abstinence and fidelity are the essential core of instruction for our schools," Leavitt said. He also said, however, six changes to the law would have to be made so the first amendment wouldn't be violated. Leavitt's changes include standard curriculum requirements for health and sex educators, the establishment and involvement of a review committee for each school, common parental notification documents, state-approved programs and textbooks, the requirement of taking disciplinary action when teachers violate the law and the establishment of an accountability system. 'We need to be certain that what's

taught is appropriare," Leavitt said Tuesday. But Allen, who has taught Sexual Help l Ol to ~ -c::, USU Survival students, said teaching more than just abstinence in ~ junior high and high schools is appropriate and important What students learn about sex before they get to a university setting can help them make better and informed decisions, Allen said. "When you get to college, you don't have to learn any of that," she said. "You're on your own." Allen, unlike Wright, said there are dangers in not teaching students about contraceptives and sexual education. Although an official study hasn't been conducted, Allen said a lot of people at USU seem baffled by how sex works. She said newly married students have come to her not knowing how to use contraceptives or what they are. The bill fosters an unhealthy attitude about sex , Allen said. Things such

as sexual activity are always seen as good or bad, Allen said, while the middle areas are skimmed over. "It leaves black and white and no shades of gray," Allen said. "It's not sex all the time or ,-·,"> abstinence [all the time] There [are] things in between." She said one of the biggest problems is the attitude that teaching about premarital sex means approval. This attitude creates a problem because students learn about sex outside of school, as well. The media influences teenagers and young adults so much that sex education programs have to be media savvy, Allen said. She said television never shows sex as being an awkward thing, and sex in real life is never like the media representation of it. "An important component in any curriculum is to see what the norms are at their school and not on TV or the movies," Allen said. Wright said without the bill schools would be able to encourage premarital sex and sexually transmitted diseases, such as AIDS, through promiscuity. Allen said the bill hurts educators' ability to teach students how to avoid and protect themselves against STDs, some of which are life-threatening. Allen said one in three pecple will have an STD in their lifetime, and without education there is the misrepresentation that only "wild people" have sex and contract the diseases.

In the busy setting of the Hub at midday, amongst the buzz of the lunch rush, Gov Michael O Leavitt and his wife, Jacalyn, spent a few minutes shaking hands with Utah State University students Tuesday. Approximately 4S students gathered around a table in the Hub, and a few asked Utah's .governor questions about various state issues such as technology and Utah's economy. In response to inquiries about tuition increases, Leavitt said it is important to realize that 70 percent of tuition is subsidized from the state . He said although student tuition will increase over the years, he believes student financial aid will increase along with it. Students also asked about the Legacy Highway, proposed to run west ofl-1 S in Davis County. Public concern for wetlands makes this issue controversial . Students asked why more roads have been proposed as opposed to public transportation . One student said building more roads

encourages more people to drive, increasing the amount of traffic through the Salt Lake Valley. Addressing the traffic problem has more than one answer, he said. To help alleviate the problem, there

needs to be public transportation as well as more highways, he said. Leavitt mentioned that one suggested solution has been for people to stop having children, but said he doesn't see this as likely.

Leavitts say life in politics is difficult, but worth it VICKY CAMPBELL

Editor in Chief

It is important to have strong leaders in politics, but Utah's first lady wouldn't recommend that life to her children, she said, unless they are fully aware of what they're getting into. "There's an easier way to go, I know that for su nc•," said Jacalyn Leavitt, Gov. Michael 0. Leavitt's wife. The Leavins were at Utah State University Tuesday to meet with students and faculty members and to tour the engineering facilities. Two of the Leavins' children attend USU: Taylor and Anne Marie Leavitt. Taylor Leavitt is already demonstrating an interest in politics and leadership as a USU senator for the College of Business, but his mother said a life in politics includes many challenging elements

that must be considered before pursuing a life in the limelight. "[Our children ] are aware of some of the difficulties," she said. But before they invest their lives in the political arena, she said she will sit them down and explain what she and her husband face as political figures: demands on their time, personal chal lenges of living in a "fish bowl" and the fact that people have a claim on their lives, to name a few. "If they're aware of the sacrifices, I would encourage them, but only at that point," she said. However, there are more challenges to being a politi cal figure than being visible and devoting time_. One example is that Gov . Leavitt, who has been governor since 1992, was forced to run in a primary election this

year, despite being an incumbent . "Politics is full of surprises," he said. "But it turned out to be a positive experience. I'm grateful I won with some margin ." He said it takes a certain person to be able to be governor, with certain skills he possesses. One of these skills is to be able to see how everything interacts in the state . "It's like hockey, " he said "In hockey you skate to where you think the puck will be." He said it's always harder to try and skate to the puck once it's headed in a certain direction. Similarly. being able to anticipate .which issues are going to affect the state the most is essential for any governor, he said. The two issues the governor is attempting to antici pate are education and tech -

nology. "Education is the issue that will drive our economy," he said. Managing skills are also a must for the governor. With a 20,000-member staff and a $6. S billion budget, keeping everything straight is essential, he said. But, at the end of the day being governor is the perfect job for him, he said. "When it comes to public service, this role is ideally suited for my interests and my skill set," he said. "To me, it's the best public service opportunity our govern ment has to offer." Working in an executive position in the area he lives and interacting with the people whose best interests he's attempting to safeguard, Gov. Leavitt said, makes being governor the ideal opportunity to really make a difference.

A nationally recognized rape prevention program that teaches women how to defend themselves against rape is being offered at Utah State University. Rape Aggression Defense systems (RAD) classes will be taught by USU Police Officer Shane Sessions, who was trained at Brigham Young University for this program, every Thursday night in three campus locations. The classes will be taught in the Student Living Center Conference Room at 8:30 p.m.; the basement of Valley View Tower at 5:30 p.m.; and the basement of Greaves at 7 pm. The classes this fall will go until the end of the semester; Thursday is the last day to join. Classes will begin again after the first week of classes next semester . A person must attend a certain number of hours to pass the course, Sessions said. "This program teaches a way to gain some experience in sexual assault situations," Sessions said. The USU branch of RAD started to teach classes last spring. 'We heard about this program several years ago, and decided to look into it," Sessions said. "We found out that BYU was offering training courses, so I went down there and got trained to teach the basic classes." The RAD program offers several diferent courses. USU teaches the basic portions of the program in classes that run nine to 12 hours, broken into one-hour classes each week. The first IS to 20 minutes of each class consist of a lecture, and Sessions teaches self defense moves for the next 40 to 45 minutes . "Where else can you get a Tae Bo- type workout while learning to defend yourse lf at the same time'" said Jasmin Charles , a USU student attending this semester's classes . Every member receives a book, which costs $5, and they have a lifetime membership.

Twins joined from breastbon to ·hip separated by surgery

Bush

SEATTLE (AP) - The parents of Charity Mae and Kathleen Lincoln chose to buy them separate beds, even though the 7-month-old twins were joi ned from breastbone to hip. "They are two different people,'' Vaneice Lincoln said Tuesday after her daughters were separated during 31 hours of surgery at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center. "For us, it only made sense. If it wasn't detrimental to their health, they should be separated." The twins each in her own crib - were stable and in critical conditiow Tuesday. Neither has shown any significant complications, said Dr . Richard Molteni, the hospital's medical director. "We're very p]eased with the progress," said Dr. John .. Waldhausen, who le<l the 30-person team in the operation that began Saturday morning. The girls were born with three legs. Each girl now has one leg, and bone from the I third was used to reconstruct their hips. Surgeons also dividr ed a shared liver and a shared bladder. Each girl has a c.:omplete reproductive system, hut they shared part of the large intestine and face additional intestinal surgery. The Lincoln:, learned about the twin's condition eig ht weeks into the pregnancy. Conjoined twins occur once in every 200,000 live births, but about 75 percent are stillborn or die within days after birth . The phenomenon is three times more likely to occur in girls. The twins have about an 85 percent chance of survival in the first month after surgery, Molteni sai<l. Lincoln and her husband, Greg, said their three other children, a 6-year-old son and daughters ages 3 and 9, are excited at the prospect of seeing the ir sisters.

Candidates clash over tax cuts, Medicare, abortion SANDRA SOBI~RAJ

AssociatedPress

BOSTON - Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush dashed over tax cuts, prescriptio~ drug ass.istan~e under Medicare an<l abortion Tuesday night in the.ir first campaign debate of the fall, pivot :eolnt in the dosest \Vhlte House contest in a generation. Combative from the outset; Gore charged that his rival's tax plan would · "spend more moneyon tax cuts for the wealthiest one percent than all of the new spendi_ng he proposes for education, health care; prescripti<>ndrugs and national defense all combined." But Bush, standing a few feet away on a debate stage atthe University of · Massachusettst said Gore's economic plan. would offer relief only to the middle clas~. ''Everybody wh .o pays taxes ought to get relief," he said. At the same time, he said, it .would produce "dramatically" bigger government with 200 "new or expanded programs 1' and 20,000 new bureaucrats.

"It empowers '\Vashington," added the governor, who hastened to tell a national viewing audience he was from West Texas - not the nation's capital. Over and over, he accused Gore of "fuzzy math." Gore and Bush met for the first of three presidential debates over the next two weeks, each man seeking advantage in a race so close that poll after poll shows them within a poil}t or two of one another. Their vice presidential candi_dates,DemocratJoseph Lieberman and Republican Dick Cheney, debate Thursday in Kentucky. Jim Lehrer of PBS was moderator, operating under strict rules negotiated in advance by the C':r0reand Bush camps. It was, he said at the outset, the first of three .90-minute debates between the two major party rivals - a format that excluded Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan, running as minor party candidates. In a reprise of his acceptance speech at this summer's Democratic National Convention, Gore said it

was important to stand up to the special interests, pharmaceutical companies among them . "Big drug companies support Governor Bush's prescription drug proposal," he said. "They oppose mine/' Bush made a sour face when he heard that, and in his next breath offered a swift rebuttal. ''I've been stan<ling up to Big Hollywood and Big Trial Lawyers," he shot back, mentioning two groups that have lavished campaign donations on Gore and Democrats. The two men argued at length over prescription drugs for Medicare reci pi.e11ts1 a key issue, particularly in the key battleground states of the Midwest. Bush blamed Washington for failing to pass legislation, and touted hjs own plan to have states offer benefits. "You've had your chance, Mr. Vice President," the governor said. But Gore, who favors a prescrjption drug benefit available to aJJMedicare recipients, said that under Bush's plan only lowincome seniors would

receiveimmediate help. Everyone else would have to wait up to four years, he said. In addition, he added, seniors could be forced into HMOs to get a prescription drug benefit. "I cannot let this go by, the old-style Washington politics, trying to scare you with .phony numbers," Bush swiftlyreRlied. He accused Gore of< Medi-scare." "This is a .man who has great numbers," he said of the vice president. "Pm beginning to think not only did he invent the Internet, he invented the calculator." Asked about a recent FDAdedsion approving the use of the abortion pill RU-486, Bush said, "I don't think a president can" overturn such a decision. He then restated his willing~ ness to sign legislation banning so-called "partial birth abortions," and said Gore wouldn't. Gore said he would ban such late-term procedures, but only if it included exemptions to protect the >SEE

ATTICA, N.Y. - The man who gunned down John Lennon 20 years ago lost his first bid for parole Tuesday after the ex-Beatle's widow wrote that setting him free would "bring back the nightmare, the chaos and confusion once again." . · Mark David Chapman was interviewed for 50 minutes by three parole bo;ird members during a Glosed hearing at Attica prison. Four hours later, he was given a one-page determination that began: "Parole is denied." "Your most vicious and violent act was apparently fueled by your need to be acknowledged," the boar<l said. "During your parole hearing, this panel noted your continued interest in maintaining your notoriety." Chapman, 45, is serving 20 years to life at the maximum-security prison in upstate New York. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in 1981 for fatally shooting Lennon as the rock star and his wife, Yoko Ono, were entering their

After Tuesday's decision, Ono spokesman Eliot Mintz released a letter the widow wrote to the parole board in which she described the pain of losing Lennon and how Chapman's release would unravel her life. "I am afraid it will bring back the nightmare, the chaos and confusion once again. Myself and John's two sons, would not feel safe for the rest of our lives," Ono wrote. She also said Chapman might face retribution from angry fans. "They would feel that it is unfair that the 'subject' is rewarded with a normal life while John lost his," she wrote. "Violence begets violence. If it is at all pqssible, I would like us to not create a situation which may bring further madness and tragedy to the world." A transcript of Tuesday's interview with Chapman by the board is expected to be made available later this week. But in its statement, the board called the killing "calculated and unprovoked."

most famous musicians, the board said, Lennon was a "husband and a father of two young children." Chapman recently said he believed that Lennon would have approved of his release. But the board concluded that releasing Chapman now would "deprecate the seriousness of the crime and serve to undermine respect for the law." The parole board noted that Chapman has an "exemplary disciplinary record" in prison. But it said he has been unable to seek "anti-violence and/or antiaggression programming" because he is in special custody. Parole board hearings with inmates are closed to the puhlic. The Associated Press and 85 other media organizations filed Freedom of Information Law requests to get the hoard'c;determination. Robert Gangi of the state Correctional Association, a prisoner advocacy group, speculated that parole for Chapman is unlikely even years from now. ''As long as that crime is in the collective memory, he has no chance for parole," he said.

SALT.LAKE CITI, Utah (AP) - A former pediatrician who pleaded guilty to using an Internet chat room to solicit sex from a person he tl10ught was a 13-year-old boy was sentenced to 15 < months in federal prison on 'foesday. ' U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball also sentenced Brent Blackburn, 36, to three years' supervised probation and ordered ~ him to pay a S750 fine. The Salt Lake City doctor was indicted a year ago for enticing h minor to have se,xwith him. The minor was really a Salt Lake City police detective posing as a1 child. Blackburn and the dt:tect'ive agreed to meet behind Highland High School •and when the officer arrived, Blackburn allegedly exposed himself. He was immediately arrested.

CIAreleases 5 million pages of intelligence documents WASHDJGTON (AP) - The CIA on Tuesday declassified 5 million pages of intelligence documents that included reports chronicling world events from 1947 to the 1970s. "This is the largest release of formerly classified CIA documents ever," said Director George Tenet. "It reflects my commitment to be as forward-leaning as possible in releasing information that with the passage of time no longer needs to be protected." The documents are being released to the National Archives and Records Administration and the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library. The declassification includes Directorate of Operations reports from 1947 through 1955 that provide insight into the role of intelligence in the post-\Norld \Nar II era. It also includes material from the CIA related to the creation, organization and anticipated role of the agency. Also included are ground photography materials, film, and satellite photography reports.

Members of the Associated Students of Utah State University Executive Council went out to "meet the people" and encourage them to register to vote instead of gathering for their regular meeting Tuesday night . Along with voter registration forms, the council was armed with questions for students concerning uruversity issues. The questions ranged from those about basic issues like knowledge of ASUSU and the Student Activities Board to thoughts on the Student Recreation Center and the Arts and Lecrures series. Angie Anderson, a freshman, said the facilities available in the HPER Building and Fieldhouse are "weak." She said other universities she's seen have multiple treadmills and other machines. She said she would pay the extra fee to get a Student Recreation

Center at USU. Students generally felt their experience at USU was good so far; the activities were good and well-advertised. One suggestion was that the trmes of Convocations should vary in order to accommodate more students. 'We'rf: here to help you out in ways you need to be helped out," said Trine Thomas, Arts & Lecrures Vice President to a group of students. Students also asked about the student directory; schedule changes after the first week of class and a tuition payment plan. "I think for anybody, it's smart," said Amber Martinez about a tuition payment plan. Martinez is a freshman from Boise, Idaho. The council split up to reach students on and off campus, find out their views on these issues and get them registered to vote. "I wish we could do this with every student," said ASUSU President Ben Riley

The second phase of the project will be the construction of the new heat plant itself. The new heat plant will burn natural gas, which is more expensive than coal, but is so efficient and environmentally friendly that it saves in the long run, Hart said. The administration is looking at several engineering firms' proposals to construct both the tunnels and the heat plant, Hart said. No completion date can be set until the contracts are awarded, but he said he hopes the system will be running by 2003.

Less than two weeks ago, the University of Wisconsin apologized for doctoring the cover photograph.of its undergraduate application in order to portray its student body as diverse. Now, it's the University ofJdaho's turn. A photograph on tbe front page of the school's Web site depicted nine students smiling and playfully hanging onto each other against a plain marigold backdrop Unfortunately, two of those students, one black and one Asian, weren't in the original photograph, which was taken in front of a brick building and featured nine white students. University president Robert A. Hoover issued orders to remove the photograph. which had been on the site smce early September, after staffers at UI's student newspaper, The Argonaut, alerted him of the gaffe. Computer technician David Embleton, who reworked the image after officials urged him to find a photograph featuring minority students, will not be fired'. according to 11niversity spokesperson Kathy Barnard, who added that the photograph was an isolated m!.stakeand hardly representative of the university's commitment to diversity. 'We've had a long-standing commitment to diversity, and have a very active multicultural affairs office," said Barnard . "And enroll -

..- .

ment among minorities continues to rise." Hoover concurred, saying that the flap should be viewed as an important lesson rather than a setback or a representation of the university's attitude toward diversity. "This is an educational institution and this is a learning situation for all of us," he said. "We have to learn to harness the character of the digital world, both its opportunities and its acceptable norms." With the administration's up-front reaction 10 the photograph, outrage among students bas been minimal. Just the same, Hoover said, university officialshave met with and plan to issue official apologies to the two students inserted into the photograph, as well as the two students who were replaced Additionally, a member of rhe Diversity and Human Rights Office has met with two of the four srudents and plans to meet with the other two as soon as possible. John Evey, one of the students whose head was replaced in the photograph) told The Argonaut that while he wasn't offended by Embleton's decision, "it is inconsiderate that they didn't ask me first. It is probably not the most ethical thing to do" Elmbleton could not be reached for comment, but told the Argonaut that it was a "photo collage" and that he felt no need to inform his supervisors of the changes made to the photo-

The Cache Humane Society's No. l priority is to build Logan an animal shelter, said Christine Pearce, treasurer of the CHS Board of Directors. Without an animal shelter m Cache Valley, homeless pets picked up by the Logan City Animal Control are housed at the Cache Meadow Veterinary Clinic, which acts as a "pound" for the city. After five days there, the pets are put to sleep . The CHS is working to change that system with plans to break ground for an animal shelter next spring. Located at 200 N. 2000 West, the $300,000 facility will be able to support 1,000 dogs and 72 cats . The design also calls for an exam room, a quarantine area and a classroom. "When we do have a shelter," Pearce said, "it will have special rooms where we can tell people about spaying and neutering and [other educa tional issues.] We would like to change the typical attitude

During the first half of the game, Sigma Alpha Epsilon awarded USU student William Murdak a $500 tuition waiver scholarship. During the second half of the game. SAE alumnus Dee Jones awarded a $1,000 tuition waiver scholarship to USU student Sydnee Stringham. These scholarships are part of a series of tuition waiver scholarships that are being given to random USU students to encourage attendance at football games. The names are picked randomly by selecting a student identification number the day of the game. When the name of the selected student is announced during the football game, the student has five minutes to report to the booth at the south end of the stadium to claim the scholarship. Each award is set at $500 per game, but if the selected student does not show up to claim the scholarship at the game, the money is carried over to the next home football game.

This year it has held a garage sale, a book sale and a walk-a-then. A benefit dinner at the Grapevine is one of its most successful fund raisers every year. The CHS is also in charge of a foster program that tries to keep animals out of the pound. "The foster program is people willing to foster dogs or cats until they can permanently, hopefully, be adopted," Pearce said. However, there have been problems with noise and odor complaints from the neighbors of these foster "parents." This was the case forMillville resident Lisa Shaw, who was given a court order in July to find new homes for her 55 dogs . Focused on dog and cat overpopulation, twice a year the CHS runs a spay and

neuter rebate program in conjunction with area veterinarians. It also sponsors educational activities with school groups and monthly meetings at the Whittier Center. The public is invited to the meetings where the CHS arranges for speakers on pet care and general animal issues, Pearce said. Although the CHS is not involved yet, it is looking to be a part of the "No Homeless Pets in Utah" campaign run by the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The organizers of this program want to coordinate efforts around the state of Utah to eliminate the killing of animals in shelters. Anyone interested in contributing to the new shelter can attend a dinner at the Copper Mill Oct. 27 . Contact Christine Pearce at 7 50-6116 for more information about the dinner or contributing to the new shelter . The Humane Society can be reached at 792-3920 for pet adoptions or other questions.

Sessions said he recommends members continue practicmg the defense skills. "It's like riding a bike. If you go out and learn m one day you might not be very good at it, so you need to practice," Sessions said . At the end of the course, students can participate in simulation training, where they practice using defense moves to get out of attack situations. "This scenario gives them an opportunity

to use their skills in an almost real life scenario," Sessions said. Sessions said RAD has a goal to teach women how to defend themselves and also to promote the attitude that women have the right to defend themselves. 'Women have not usually been taught in the past to be fighters," Sessions said. "But if we as a society do not teach women to defend themselves, we are doing a disservice ."

Fruit:It'snot just for vitamins anymore DOUG SMEATH

Assistant Features Editor

Mothers have been telling kids to eat their fruit for centuries. People have repeated, to the point of it becoming considered common sense, the advice, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." And now, more than ever, doctors and nutritionists are saying fruit brings many varied health benefits. Utah State University nutrition and food sciences professor Deloy G. Hendricks said vitamins known to be abundant in many fruits are just a~ important to health as ever - but they aren't the only reason to be sure to eat plenty of fruit. It has recently been discovered fruits contain phytochemicals, a newly identified group of organic chemicals and materials that offer a wealth of health benefits, Hendricks said. "If we have [more phytochemicals] in our diets, we have better health," he said. Though phytochemicals aren't needed for life processes, including them in a balanced diet improves health, Hendricks said. Currently, more than 200 phytochemicals have been identified. Some phytochemicals, especially those found in high concentrations in darkly colored fruits and vegetables, especially dark yellow and

red, seem to reduce a person's risk.of getting cancer, Hendricks said. "I think there's pretty good evidence," Hendricks said, though science hasn't been able to prove beyond a doubt that fruit is a safeguard against cancer. In addition to phytochemicals, good old-fashioned vitamins are still a vital part of what fruit has to offer, Hendricks said. Vitamins A and C are especially abundant in fruits anci vegetables. Though most all fruits have something good to offer, Hendricks said some - including the tomato, apricot, papaya and mango - are richer in these vitamins than others - including the pear, grape and apple. Still, he said, these fruits offer other health and nutritional benefits that make them well worth eating. And regardless of what fruits people choose to eat, Hendricks said Americans in general need to eat much more of them. While the general recommendation by nutritionists is for people to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a dav, Hendricks said nationally Americans fall far short of that, which could have a significant negative impact on their quality of life. Hendricks said should not be difficult for one to work five servings into a daily diet.

A guide to killer abdominal muscles NATALIE LARSO'.'i

Senior Writer

From five-minute workout videos to expensive machines, an entire merchandise chain has risen up to serve a growing demand for tight, defined abdominal muscles and an obsession to look better in a bat_h-ingsuit. According to Steve Pond, head trainer at the Sports Academy in Logan, tpese things may help tone muscles, but ptlople will only get the look they desire by changing their eating habits. "I can't stress enough that adjusting your diet is the first step to get great abs. You can't see the muscles when your body fat is too high," Pond said. In recent years, experts have been steering people away from the traditional sit-up, hecm1se of the strain it creates in the

neck and lower back. To get the best results, Pond suggests using several variations of crnnches to work the three muscle groups: Sternum to the belly button, belly but ton to the pelvic area and the obliques on the sides. Normal crunches will work the first area of muscles. For the area hetween the helly hut ton and pelvis, do some kind of crunch that involves the legs. nvist to the sides to work the obliques. "There [are] ~o many different exercises you can do," Pond said. "Don't bt: redundant. Change up and work muscles differently. You'll hit a plateau in your ah strength if you don't."· \Vorking each muscle group for 15 to 25 repetitions, concentrating on contracting the muscles :rnd holding them for the duration of the exercise, is the most effective way to build

abdominal strength and definition, he said. The abdominal muscles are like any other set of muscle, Pond said. They need a chance to rest and should be worked onlv about three to four times a we~k. "Some of the machines are really good. \Ve use the rocking ones for people who are middle-aged and older because of the neck support they give," Pond said. Other types of workout machines include rollers, dollies and free weights. It is important to build abdominal and back muscle strength before using equipment to enhance the ahdominal workout, Pond saici. In past years, according to Pond, thee:number of people concerned about defined abs has increased. but not everyone is genetically capable of having abs like those shown in fashion magazines.

"There art! a lot of girls who can get a flat stomach but can't get the definition," Pond said. Pond said the health benefits of strong abdominal muscles are more important than the way they look. "A lot of lower back problems can result from not having tight abs," Pond said. "-You've got to have strong ahs to avoid back problems and be able to do \~hat you want to when you're older." \\~th everything available, Pond said the hest way to see what works for vou as an individual is to try it. Just remember to "keep your diet und er control, change your routine and realize that not everyone is guaranteed to have defined abs," he said. To maximize a workout, Pond suggtsts seeing a personal trainer who can critique your technique and help you work more efficiently and safely.

prone to road ·rage ~ HOLLY HANSO~

Staff Writer

Road rage is defined as acting on anger behind the wheel, according to Trooper Hunsaker from the Cache County Highway Patrol. There are numerous causes of road rage, Hunsaker said. Some include inattentive driving, tailgating, wea,~ng, a slow driver in the fast lane and being cut off. According to the Utah Safety Council, drivers experience road rage with greater frequency as they drive with incompetence, insensitivity and aggressiveness. Everyone, including students, are prone to periods of road rage. "You get pressure from grades, which leads to stress in the car, and that can be an enhancer for road rage," Hunsaker said. Hunsaker said students should ask themselves how mature they are behind the wheel. "It's not an age thing, it's a maturity thing. You can be immature at 70 and mature at 18," Hunsaker said. "Road rage is an immature way to act." In the United States, 1,500 people are injured or killed as a consequence of aggressive dri ving, according to the Utah Safety Council. To avoid accidents caused by road rage, Hunsak er and the Utah Safety Council offer the

following tips: 1. Reduce daily stress. Adjust your daily commute to avoid the worst congt:stion periods. Allow extra time for unexpected problems. Be patient and more flexible while driving. 2. Listen to classical or other soothing music 3. Try to relax more while driving. Release that tight grip on the steering wheel, breathe deeply, refrain from traveling while you are overly tired and avoid flare-ups with passengers. 4. Don't get mad at others. Think about things. Don't react; be neutral. 5. lf you've ticked another driver off, leave them room and don't stop - it can cause a problem . 6. Don't make eye contact if the other driver is mad; eye contact makes it personal. 7. Assume other driver's mistakes aren't personal. 8. Analyze your own driving. \Vhat habits do you possess that can contribute;: to road rage? Are you part of the problem or solution? 9. Forget winning; it's not a contest! Many people think road rage is a macho thing, Hunsaker said, but cases involving women are on the rise. As soon as a driver gets mad, his or her logic goes out the windm~. The main thing, Hunsaker said, is to not take other drivers' mistakes personally.

Untreated, chlamydia can cause sterility, an<l an infected mother can pass the infection to her baby during pregnancy. "If you are worried, see a physician and a nurse; they are the only people who would have to know," Allen said. Student Health Services employs gynecologists and nurse practitioners who guarantee absolute confidentiality. Students receive free consultations, and pay less than $10 for the test for an STD. If that is too mu ch, Planned Parenthood charges only what a person can afford.

percent of Utah's population. Sixty percent of reported cases came from Salt Lake City. "If you go to Salt Lake, be careful," Clark said. Cache Valley is lower than the state average in STD reports. \Veber, Davis and Salt Lake County have the highest reports of STDs in the state, Clark said. Nationally, one of four people will be infected with an STD or STI, but those numbers are not accurate, Allen said. The United States, as well as Utah State University, doesn't keep a record of STDs or STis. If they did, the numbers wouldn't be accurate because people do not have to report the infections . Bacterial infections can be treated with appropriate antibiotics and cleared up. Viruses will remain with victims their entire lives; only the symptoms can only be· treated.

The Food Pyramid: Does it miss the point? ROSEi MESTEL

•

Los Angeles Times

There's a food fight afoot over the last thing you'd imagine could inflame peoples' passions: a dull-as-dishwater government chart. It's a graphic that most of us know well: the food guide pyramid, that worthy, eatright teaching tool from the U.S Department of Agriculture. Four levels. Five food groups. With - let's hear it, class - grains at the base. Fruits and vegetables one tier up. Next, the protein group, with dair/ right next door. Then finally - at the sinful peak - those added sugars and oils. Some nut~ition experts say the pyramid does a fine job at thumbnail-sketching how we should eat. If only we ate that way, so many of us would be healthier. But some think the government is leading people astray. It's high time, they say, that the pyramid had its slabs rearranged to better reflect current thinking on diet and disease. After all, the pyramid released in 1992 and modified only slightly in 1996 - is nearly a decade old. A lot of research has come down since then. More to the point, say critics, the graphic is studded with mixed signals from top to bottom. "Good" poly- and mono-

unsaturated oils are lumped together with "bad" saturated fats; proteins from fish and beans appear no different than those from red meat. And in an effort to get us to cut down on fat, it's been guiding us to go hog wild on refined carbohydrates. "It's like a recipe for obesity," says the University of California, LosAngeles' Dr. Ian Yip, associate chief of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. "A visitor from outer space, coming in and looking at it, would think that the major dietary problem in the U.S. is carbohydrate deficiency," says Dr. Meir Stampfer, chair of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health. "That is not our problem." The pyramid is important because it is one of the few guides to healthy eating that is well enough known to partially counter the billions of dollars spent annually by industry promoting junk food. Nevertheless, it has never really been determined whether people who eat according to the pyramid's strictures end up healthier than those who don't. That is ironic, say critics, since researchers have done exhaustive polling to find out how many Americans are aware of the pyramid and follow its dictums. They have even compared the effectiveness of a wheel, a bowl or a shopping cart shape to that of a pyramid.

Competing Pyramids Some nutrition researchers fault the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food guide pyramid for failing to give the best1dvisethat nutrition science can offer. They have designed alternative pyramids they feel do a better job.

In fact, a preliminary study reported at scientific meetings last year suggests that a pyramid diet has little or no effect on health. This isn't to deny the strong link between good diet and good health, says Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health and senior author of the study. It's just that the pyramid doesn't reflect that link. Take, he says, the placement of the potato, which has inspired serious discussion in scholarly journals. There the spud sits, as if butter wouldn't melt on its flesh, in the big, virtuous "vegetable" section - which we're guided to sam-

pie three to five times daily for good health. That's the last place it should be, says Willett. He thinks the spud should be shoved upstairs to the pyramid's pointy peak - the part we're supposed to sample with great restraint. Granted, he says, potatoes will get you by in a famine. Granted, eating one or two won't cause civilizations to crumble. But there's nothin15 restrained about Americans annual tater tally. And that, Willett holds, is contributing to the everwidening girth of American waists and an epidemic of chronic ailments such as heart disease and diabetes. He has problems with prac-

"Rather than get a regular (order of) fries, you can get Supersize ... instead of a can of roke you can get a super Big Gulp."

of voice." But keeping a lid on emotions takes so much vigilance, according to a series of recent studies by Richards and James J. Gross of Stanford University, that it seriously drains brain power. "It's ... lying to yourself about your emotions," Richards says. "You're still feeling them . You're still upset, but you're not going to show it. And that means you have a much-harder time thinking clearly and remembering what happened." But the latest research suggests that people who can adjust and reappraise the situation as challenging, rather than threatening or uncomfortable, "look, feel and perform better," Richards says. What also

helps is to take on ne demeanor of a mori-disinterested party who rouldn't feel upset in the sare situation. Avoiding suppresion of emotions frees brai1 cells to perform other functons , such as thinking. Tlat, in turn, "makes it easie- to remember what wasgoing on around you lateron," Richards says. Which is not to ;uggest that "letting it all rang out" makes you a genim Or that suppressing emotims isn't important from tirre to time. "Don't wipe it fr.m your emotional repertoir,," Richards says. "It ca1 serve an important functim. But just be aware that b}virtue of suppressing, you nay not be paying enough atention to the world around ,ou."

"The delay has to do with the strain (of flu virus) used for this year's vaccine," said Barbara Reynolds, CDC spokeswoman. "It hasn't grown quite as well as expected in fertilized eggs." Before influenza vaccine can be made from a killed form of the virus, manufacturers must first have ample viral samples, which are grown in chicken eggs. CDC

It's not a fluke that the Utah State University's women's volleyball team is nationally ranked for the first time in school history. The Aggies are ranked No . 25 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll. Coming off their most recent victory, a sweep over the University of California, Santa Barbara on Saturday, the Aggies have a 12-3 record and have extended their winning streak to 10 matches. USU currently owns the No. 1 spot in the Big West Conference, still undefeated in four conference matches. They're also the only team in the Big West that has yet to lose a match. This is arguably the best vol-

leyball season the USU team has seen in 20 years, opening with the longest winning streak since 1980, defeating two top-10 opponents, and winning 25 of its last 32 matches dating back to last year. Head coach Tom Peterson said the team knows it can play better. "I always ask the team, 'Have we arrived yet?'" Peterson said. "And the team answers, 'No!' There's always room for improvement." Peterson attributes much of the team's success to its confidence level. ''You've got to go in believing that you can beat these teams before you actually do," Peterson said.

Postseason preview: The Yankees are not going to repeat

Casey

Hobson

The most exciting thing about this year's baseball playoffs might just be that the New York Yankees won 't win the World Series. That is, of course, unl ess they play the Atlan ta Braves. You see, the Braves will never win the Fal I Classic with Bobby Cox as their

manager . But we ' ll get to that later in this column. I want to get back to the Yankees, because for the first time in half a decade, the Yankees are enterin g post season without their usual aura of invincibility . September was to New York what August was to Atlanta. The Yankees clinched their div ision simply because the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox couldn 't w in down the stretch. Heck, cella r-dw elling Tampa Bay played better down the stretch th an all tthree oi the contenders , winning eight of its last 10. In contrast, the Yankees coasted into the playoffs on skid row . They lost seven

straight entering the playoffs, and dropped 15 of their last 18 games overall. They had a .433 winning percentage in September (13-1 7), hardly representative of a team that ' s won three of the last four World Series titles. Invincible? Ha! Hardly. I know the playoffs are a separJte season, and everyone gets to start from scratch , but this isn't just a weekend slump the two-time defending champs are in. It's not one oi those funks you can simply willk away from. And to make matters worse, they're opening the divisional series against OaklJnd - perhaps the hottest team in the }:>layoffs. The Athletics won eight of

their last 10 games. They're young, they're hungry and they've got nothing to lose. And on top of it all , they've got no reason to fear the Yankees. In fact, they've got every reason to beat them, and that type of attitude can go a lo~g way in a best-offive series. I just don 't see the Yankees going far this year, and I wouldn 't be the least bit surprised if the Athletics beat them.

Seattle vs. Chicago Chicago: The White Sox werf' the best team in the majors this season. Their lineup is thick with talent, but they don't necessarily have the depth of the Yankees or

the Braves. But Chicago might have a better relationship inside the clubhouse than any other team in the playoffs . They are a tight group. Half of them live in the same Chicago apartment complex; they eat together, they hang out together - they are a family. And that bond should make up for any depth or experience shortages. Seattle: The Mariners are just happy to be in the post season. Not that they don 't belong. It's just that they had a tough battle to get there. But don 't underestimate their desire and hunger. Rumor floating around Seattle is a _World Series title might be the one thing that would

lure Alex Rodriguez back next season. Rodgriguez's contract disputes have never been about the money. He's going to get paid wherever he goes. A-Rod wants to play for a winner. And if Seattle can win the Wor ld Series, they'I I have a head start on everyone else in the off-season bidding wars for Rodriguez's services.

St. Loµis vs. Atlanta Atlanta: I've said this for nine long years now , and I've only been wrong once: Atlanta w ill never w in the big games with manager Bobby ► SEE BASEBALL

For students with an uncontrollable desire to compete, Utah State University has a program for you: intramural sports. "Intramural sports is a program for students who -are registered for one credit or more and want to play competitively," said Assistant Director of Campus Administration Kevin Bybee. "It's to give them an outlet physically, socially, and to give them a break from school." Intramural sports involve everyone regardless of race, religion, age, gender, handicap, skill level, national origin and past experience, according to the Intramural Sports Handbook. And more are joining, said Director of Intramurals Ben Wolford. Of all the fall sports, only volleyball has decreased in participation. Intramural sports are of the people, by the people and for

the people, Bybee said. "We're under student services of campus recreation, which means we get student fees," he said. "We get $18.13 per student, per semester, but a large percentage of the money we get from srudent fees goes back to the students - like officials , scorekeepers and supervisors." "We try to provide what we can with what we get," he said. Intramural sports involve a wide range of sports, such as: flag football, volleyball , softball, soccer, tennis, golf, basketball, racquetball, The Turkey Trot Race (a SK run on Nov. 11), swimming, ultimate Frisbee, badminton and triathlons. Three-on-three soccer will replace the usual 11-on- l l soccer in the spring, Wolford said. It has been successful at other schools, so USU decided to give it a try. Wolford said enrollment, interest and time availability determine what sports will be offered. More fields mean

more sports can be offered at more times. If the USU women's soccer team moves to its new field next year it will translate to more soccer leagues. More than 50 officials and seven scorekeepers are employed in the intramural sports, Wolford said. Under Wolford, four supervisors are in charge of each sport. After regular-season play, intramural sports set up tournaments in which awards and prizes can be won , depending on the sport. "After five weeks of league play we divide them into three tournaments: Aggie, Big Blue and Recreational, depending on the teams' record, skill level, and number of teams," Bybee said. First-place winners in the tournaments will be awarded championship T-shirts, and second will be given water bottles or other prizes. A person can registe r for intramural sports individually or as a team. Individually, one must complete the free agent

"We're starting to get to that point." In facing upcoming matches, Peterson said he knows the team can build upon its wins. "Winning is contagious. Thinking you're good is contagious," Peterson said. The Aggies will face No. 13 Long Beach State University in Long Beach, Calif., on Thursday, followed by a meeting with No. 17 University of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif., on Saturday. The 49ers of Long Beach are currently tied for sixth place in the Big West, with a 1-3 conference record. Long Beach has lost to both UC Santa Barbara and California Polytechnic University this season, both schools USU has defeated earlier this year. All-time, USU is 620 against the 49ers, and they lost three matches to Long Beach last year. "This is a big, big match for us," Peterson said of the team's match against Long Beach. The University of the Pacific Tigers are 3- 1 in the conference, with an over-all record of 10-3. All-time, the Aggies are 4-20 against the Tigers, who beat the Aggies in three games last season. The Aggies are not allowing themselves to get too cop1fortable amid all their success. Peterson said that schools will improve through the season, so USU must take each match seri. ously. Peterson wants the team to prove themselves throughout the entire season. "Teams get better as the season goes on," Peterson said. "Good teams get a lot better. We need to be a good team over time.:'

► BASEBAU. From Page 7 Cox at the helm . This year will be no different. In fact , I' ll be very surprised if the Braves make it past the Cardinals, let alone to the World Series. This is a team built upon three hal I-of-fame pitchers (Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz - Smoltz might not be a first-vote Hallof- Famer, but he w ill get in sooner or later). Atlanta lives and dies with its pit ching staff (which hasn't been all that great this season). And Cox doesn't have the foggiest clue when it comes to managing his staff. He always leaves his p itc hers in too long (see Maddux , 1999 World Series game one; Glavine, 1999 World Series game three ) Cox leaves his starters out to dry during the post season year after year, and the only way that pattern is go ing to change is for the manager to chan ge. Unti I that happens, the Braves will continual ly fall short of their annual spring training goal. St. Loui s: The Card inals are the team to beat in the

National League. They have the pitching and they have the offense. And they ' ve go t one hec k of a big bat coming off the bench in Mark McGwire , and that shouldn 't be underestimated. Big Mac mi ght strike out every time he bats during the post season, but his presence alone is enou g h to change the ou tcome of a game. Opposin g managers might change the way they manage, knowing he's sittin g there wait ing for a ch ance to bust the game open w ith on e swing of the bat. The Cardinals made the right moves in the off season to get them all the way throu gh the post season . They acquired it all : pitch ing, defense and offense . Now they 've just got to sit back and enjoy the rid e to the post season.

San Francisco vs. New York San Franc isco: The Gia nts worked hard to get home field advanta ge in the playoffs, and it migh t be just what they need to get past a few teams . Howev er, I don't

think they have the dept h to get p ast the winner of the Cardinals /Braves series. T hey may struggle to get past the Mets. The key fo r the Giants will be MVP candidate Barry Bonds, who is batting j ust .200 (l 6-for- 80) in fo ur prev ious trip s to the post season . Bonds wil l have to do better than that this season because Jeff Kent can 't do it all by hi mself. New York: Well , the re' s a lot you could say about the Mets. They' re as good as any team out there, but if they play the Braves, they ' re as good as toast. New Yor k has a menta l blo ck when it com es to Atlant a, and I don' t think it wil l end th is Oc tobe r. It will end someday, maybe even next year. But fo r now , the M ets had better pray they don 't have to play the Braves. If St. Lou is elim inates Atl anta, t hen the sky is the lim it for New York .

federal highway money. MADD contends that a driver with 0.08 BAC is 11 times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a sober driver. It quotes National Highway Traffic Safety Administration studies that show a 170pound man could consume four drinks on an empty stomach in an hour, or a 137pound woman three drinks, before reaching 0.08. Lautenberg and House sponsors including Reps. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., and Frank Wolf, R-Va., introduced the legislation three years ago. It ran into solid resistance from lawmakers who said it infringed on states' rights and a strong lobbying effort from beverage and restaurant associations. John Doyle of the American Beverage Institute said the national standard would "have no impact whatsoever" because the average BAC for drunks involved in fatal crashes is 0.17. Doyle also cites NHTSA figures in saying that a 120-pound woman would reach the new legal inebriation level by drinking only two six-ounce glasses of wine over two hours. "It demonstrates we are not talking about the product abuser," he said. Several lawmakers made last-ditch efforts to sidetrack the 0.08 measure but were defeated by the House-Senate conference. Rep. Martin Sabo, D-Minn., unsuccessfully proposed that the federal government should double grants to states for anti-drunken driving programs rather than penalize them. Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., also contended it was wrong to take money away from states that, while they might not have a 0.08 standard, impose other strong antidrinking measures such as bans on driving with open containers of alcohol or mandatory BAC testing after accidents.
