A connection between domestic violence, child abuse and animal abuse has been made by Professor Frank Ascione in the psychology department. Over the past 10 years, Ascione has researched children who abuse animals, how this abuse affects their futures and what impact witnessing the abuse of animals by parents has on children. Ascione developed an interview for parents and children to find the motivators and causes of abuse, and how common it was in children who are abused sexually and physically or live in a violent home life. He found that S percent of children who reported no incidents of child abuse or domestic violence abused animals. That jumped 20 percent to 30 percent for children in

On occasion, people will read books they do not agree with or think is very appropriate. "If people do not like a book's content, the best way to get rid of the book is to not check it out," Jenkins said. USU Senior Librarian for 28 years Steve Weiss said it is the responsibility of society to provide information of all kinds to everyone. "Banning or challenging information could and will have a significant impact on society," he said. Books allow people to see things in full perspective, Weiss said. Banning or challenging information inflicts on the freedom of speech for a free society. "No matter what walk of life people come from, they have their own personal viewpoints and certain kinds of information will become offensive to them," he said. "On the other hand, people also have their personal freedom to read what they want." Sinor agrees that people should be able to go into a library and check out any books they want to read. She said sometimes the most controversial subject is only explained in books, and the subject needs to be heard. "Silencing a voice on this subject would be a huge injustice," she said.

USU Police have placed aclditional emergency boxes and lighting in attempt to it;1creasesecurity./Paul Jackman photo

Results of a complete investigation into the adequacy of lighting on campus have been taken into consideration; students will soon have a brighter campus. "A campus-wide lighting project has already begun and is approximately 50 percent completed," said Assistant Vice President for Facilities Darrel Hart. Last year, administrators from the Phvsical Plant, Campus Police, Student Services and other campus facilities took a stroll around the Utah State University campus, pointing out areas that are unsafe. Areas designated unsafe from the lighting tour are already in the process of being improved, said Mark Holt, an electrical engineer for Facilities, Design and Construction. The areas south of the Spectrum, the walk along

HPER Field and the parking lots near the Natural Resources and the Fine Arts buildings were specifically pointed out as needing assistance . Students are also concerned about the path west of the heating plant, said Student Advocate Vice President Bradley Bishop. "This year there has already been a number of concerns brought to my attention about that path [by the heating plant], and it is a top priority with the facilities members," Bishop said. "Plans are being looked over to improve that area of campus." Because this month is dubbed the "Red Zone," students and faculty members are advised to walk with someone and be extremely careful when alone. Students with concerns can contact Bishop at 797-1720 or drop by his office in the Taggart Student Center, Room 340.

The temperature can change 30 to 40 degrees within a couple of yards of hiking,Stephens said, In the Peter Sinks area, the temperature ranged from l 0 degrees below to 20 degrees above freezing that night in various locations in the valley, he said.

Bear River Dam project.sparks discussion in valley JESSICA WARREN

Senior Writer The issue of using the Bear River as a possibfo source of water-for the Salt Lake Valley will be discussed in a meeting at 6 p .m. Tuesday in the Taggart Student Center Ballroom . The issue has plagued the Division of Water resources since 1991, when the state legislature passed the Bear River Development Act. The act directs the Division of Water Resources to plan, construct and operate reservoirs and facilities on the river as authorized and funded by legislative and market-developed water . The act has four goals, said Dennis Strong with the Division of Water Resources

First; the operation of WillaFd Bay gy and member of the Bridgerland will be modified. Second, water from Audubon Society dealing with wetthe Bear River will be piped into the land issues, said that the society has bay somewhere near the crossing of opposed the idea for years .

Alice Lindahl, a professor of bioloLindahl also said the Bear River

Lindahl said these issues aren't public ized in Salt Lake County. She said all citizens know is when they turn the faucet , there should be water. The Bridgerland Audubon Society has created a slide show and information brochures they will make available to anyone who would like them Strong said that the dam is not a top priority for now. "The need of the reservoir will depend on the need of water ...As the need anses, the dam will be taken more seriously," Strong said .

Jim Lehrer had it all wrong at the presidential debate Tuesday. Forget the boring questions about social security, national defense, foreign policy and abortion. Blah, blah, blah. We've heard it all before and we're not dumb. Positioning, pandering and plundering the minds of the television viewers was the sole intention of the debate. Lehrer would have done the public a service if he would have asked a real question, like, "\Nhat is your favorite movie line, Vice President Gore? Governor Bush?" I'm serious. Depending on their answers, I would have decided my vote then and there. My guess is Al Gore would have picked something out of a liheral, heartfelt drama, or maybe a quote from "Anne of Green Gables." Bush wou_ld have picked something from a western movie or perhaps a line from one of the three "Rambo" films.

Movies are the great equalizer. Almost every person enjoys the cinema, and he or she can tell you in a heartbeat what his or her favorite movie line is. As for me, I'm a bit obsessed . I tried to think of my alltime favorite movie line and I just couldn't measure up to the task. There are too manv that I love for me to choose only one, so I am quoting some of my favorites. I hope you will e-mail me at lordofthejazz@ hotmail.com with your favorites, as well. Let's get started. My first and most recent preferred quote is from last May's "Gladiator." When Russell Crowe turns to the pompous Emperor Commodus and releases these words, man, I'll tell you, I get goosebumps. Not the "I'm going to cry" goosebumps, but the "I'll kick your butt" goosebumps. "My name is Maxi mus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdei;ed son, husband to a mµrdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." The following line from John Miller in "Saving Private Ryan" always gives me the chills and a tear. "Sometimes I wonder if I've changed so much, my wife isn't even going to recognize me whenever it is I get back to her - and how I'll ever be able to - to tell her about days like today. Ah, Ryan - I don't know anything about Ryan. I don't care. The man means nothing to.me. He's just a name. But if going to Remeal and finding him so he can go home, if that earns me the right to ge.t back to my wife, well - then that's my mission." I'm a big "X-Files" fan, so this monologue from Fox Mulder is awesome. "I'm the key figure in an ongoing government charade:

"They me Spooky. Spooky Mulder."

Ah, the power of filnt.

Performing arts series ends Campus) local cultural events won't disappear ALISHA TOL\1AN

Staff Writer

Change is afoot in the structure of cultural events - meaning professional performances - at Utah State ' University. Due to financial restraints, the Performing Arts Series, which sponsored cultural events at USU, has been discontinued. USU will now advocate "individual cultural events," sponsored by the Associated Students of USU, said Randy Jensen, director of Student Activities. This means that, as far as on-campus perfort'nances are concerned, "we'll be seeing less in terms of what we're sponsoring here," Jensen said. However, individual cultural events will be more tailored to student interests, he said. The Performing Arts

Series was focused more at the community. Now that events are sponsored by ASUSU, "there will be greater focus on getting more students to attend," Jensen said. How does the university intend to swing the focus from the community to the smdent body? For one thing, tickets to performances for which a large crowd is anticipated will be ava·ilable to students one week before the general public, said Trine Thomas, ASUSU Arts and Lectures vice president. ASUSU has scheduled a cultural buffet, including an Oct. 21 concert by the Utah Symphony conducted by Keith Lockhart and a November tribute to Andrew Lloyd YVebber, composer of Broadwav hits like "Cats" and "Phantom of the Opera," by a profession.ii company of instrumentalists ·and singers. But USU is not the only place in town that hosts professional performances. In addition to these campus perfornrnnces and events,

numerous others will take place locally. The Ellen Eccles Theater is one such local sponsor of cultural events. In a few weeks, the theater will sponsor a show about the music and life of singer Nat King Cole, said Annette Thompson, Ellen Eccles Theater public relations coordinator. Thompson also said the Ellen Eccles Theater has begun offering 15 percent discounts to students on ticket prices. For now, students can look forward to a number of events in the community and on campus, Jensen said. "Our goal is to create a holistic person," Thomas said. "Offering cultural events and cultural arts provides something that is beneficial to their personal development." Dates and times of ASUSU-sponsored cultural events are available ai: the ASUSU calendar at www.usu.edµ/~asusu or in the Back Burner of The Utah

Vinyl: Hallmark of the 20th century :5SENTENCES .............. Bryce

Casselman

When you hear the word "vinyl," what's the first thing that comes to your mina? The answer to this question will quickly point out which generation you fit into . When I think of vinyl, images of my friend Dan and I sitting around the turntable of my stereo and listening to 12-inch mixes of our favorite bands flood into my mind. This dates me back· to the late '80s. In this decade, Reople paid more money for what were called "i mports," vinyl that was brought over the sea so we could pay evC'n mor e money to eventua Ily throw it out because it became available in a

CD box set just a couple years later. If vinyl images of LPs instead of 12-inch mixes come to mind, bearing bands that have never heard of a synthesizer and band names that were usually patterned after one of the basic four food groups, you've just dated yourself back to the late '70s and early '80s. This was when stereos only came in chrome color with wood-grain decals along the siae. The turntable was always the most important portion in hand , with the lint cleaner to keep the record and sound as clean as possible. If images of flooring come into your mind, then you are probably way too serious or disturbed to be reading this article and shoula stop now . If images come to your mind of that stuff they put on houses these days in place of real building materials, you can proba6Iy count yourself as the current generation, still wait ing for some person who's never met you to label your

generation. The lesson you can learn from our society's use of vinyl is that appearances are really all that matter. This point is proven with every new house that has been built in the last 15 years, where the front of the house is beautified with sh utters, bricks and fancy windows and the back and sides are an endless plain of vinyl siding and a scattering of windows. And finally, if images of sexually oriented clothing come to your mind, get a date and stop spending so much time on the Internet. So, if you were looking to invest a lot of money in stocks, I would suggest looking into a company that produces the highly versatile substance we call vinyl, the substance that means so much to so many people and will live forever, transcending generation after generation.

Exhibit takes sobering look at elderly inmates LYN£LL GEORGE

Los Angeles Times SAN FR.Ai'\ICISCO Despite its infamous past, Alcatraz has always been goo<l for an easy guffaw. In the busy Cell Block 41 tchotchke shop at the foot of Pier 41 are boxer shorts, shot glasses, aprons and black and white str iped T-shirts, all stamped in screaming boldface: "I've Escaped Alcatraz." But.for the cluster of people lined up on this even ing for the 1 1/2-mile boat ride across San Francisco Bay. to the former federal penitentiary on Alcatraz Island , the photo exhibit opening they are about to witness will most certain ly take the punch out of any sta le one-liners. "P risoner s of Age," a photo documentary project six years in the making, is a sobering and some times shocking examination of what life is like for infirm and aging inmates in prisons across North America.

He's cool.

Geriatric inmates - with assorted ailments that often accompany declining years - are a rapidly growing population in penitentiaries across the United States. In und ertaking the exhibit and an accompanying book, commercial photographer Ron Levine and graphic designer Michael Wou have set out to demystify what "life sentence" really means . When the Harbor Emperor docks at Alcatraz, the 152 invited guests and park rangers make their way up a steep incline, through crumbling archways and husks of buildings to the old cell house . They wind through Cellblock A and down a flight of narrow stairs to what was once the shower room. There, 23 of Levine's 4foot - by-8-toot prints unscroll from pipes and beams criss-

"Remember the Titans" is based on a true story that takes place at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va. It's 1971, and a court order has forced racial integration into a school and society that, until now, was strictly segregated. As a result, long-time head coach Bill Yoast (Wilf Patton) is ousted and replaced with a black coach, Herman Boone (Denzel Washington). The team is also integrated with equal numbers of olack and white players who are forced to choose between their love of the game and their hatred for each other. They choose football, which is lucky for us or the theater would still be c·arrying whatever garbage this film replaced and hundreds of desperate first-daters would be forced to get to know one another instead of sitting side by side in a dark auditorium, watching someone else's love life, ancf fighting over the armrest.

AssistantFeaturesEditor Two graduating theater students are putting themselves "at risk" next week, all in the name of the arts. Utah State University seniors Amber Tuttle and Sage Davis, veterans of Utah State Theatre productions, will perform their senior recital Tuesday, a collection of more than a dozen performances called "At Risk." The recital, a joint project for Tuttle and Davis' preparation to graduate with. bachelor's degrees in theater arts, will feature eight monologues, three scenes, a pantomime, two songs and mask work. It's the mask work that puts them "at risk," Davis said. Mask work involves the actors using masks as the base of their character,

changing masks as a character's mood or situation changes. For example, when an actor wears a sad mask, his or her character has a slower, lower voice, Flood said. He said the mask affects a lot of an actor's emotional choices. "It allows for bigger, broader choices and a great deal more range," Davis said. "It takes you out of your comfort zone by making you feel like you have a barrier, but it also increases the risk level - hence the title, 'At Risk."' USU Theatre department media relations employee Michael Flood said an actor's , movements, voice and other physical choices are directly connected to the mask they use. Tuttle and Davis have been involved with UST productions in the past. Tuttle's most recent performance was

in last April's "Dangerous Liaisons." She has also been seen as Keri in "The Poets," the Sun God in "Rumpelstiltskin's Fire" and Dull Gret and Angie in "Top Girls." Tuttle also choreographed this semester's UST children's show, "The Grasshopper and the Ant." Davis' past UST credits include playing Forgiveness from Heaven in the UST Conservatory Series show "The Waiting Room," Isabella Bird and Joyce in "Top Girls" and Fefu in "Fefu and Friends." Davis was also director of "The Poets" and assistant director of "Arcadia." "At Risk" will be performed twice Tuesday in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 224, with showings at 4:30 and 8 p.m. Showings are free to the public.

wrestling would to Andy Mr. Morgan Rogers. Needless to say, Bruckheimer did it. The movie is a winner. The story is engaging and the acting from the film's cast of virtual unknowns is what hold~ this picture together. Every notable performance seems real and lifelike. Deep emotion is embedded in the roots of the characters, and each artist fathoms that passion and gives it life, especially Denzel Washington and Will Patton. Half of the time, in a cliche-ridden football movie, the head coach is perfect, a tremendous leader and an example to his boys. The other half of pigskin flicks displays the coach as an arrogant, critical meathead who only cares about the victory and could give a damn about his players. Washington's character seems to be a balanced mix of the two., He is a good man, but he isn't untainted. He finds himself besieged by his ambition. This gives acute integrity to the film and aads an element of imperfection, permitting us to feel compassion for Washington's character. 1✓ ·Patton seems to be in Washington'~ shadow for most of the film, but he, i too, brings a lifelike, sincere portrayal to his character. Patton exhibits the struggle that a person faces when he · sits on the fence better than any other character in this film. His talent proves why he should be placed in the upper echelon of current Hollywood actors. As skeptical as I was, I left the theater with a knot in my throat and goosebumps up and down my arms. "Remember the Titans" is an honest movie that makes you feel good and is clearly the best piece of cinema to hit theaters in severa.1months. '

"In musicals, nothing dreadful ever happens," says Selma (Bjork), the sprite-like child-woman at the center of Lars von Trier's mesmerizing "Dancer in the Dark." This rapturous regard for musicals, as we come to see, becomes Selma's guiding light through an increasingly depressing existence. As life gets worse for this sweetnatured Czech immigrant, those musicals become a spirirual escape, a way of sidestepping the anguish. Penniless, Selma works in a tool factory in Washington state to finance an eye operation for her 10-year-old son, Gene (Vladica Kostic). Selma is rapidly losing her eyesight, and she's concerned that Gene, who wears spectacles now, will inherit the same degenerative disease. But money comes slowly. So Selma, who lives in a trailer with Gene, regularly filches money from her landlord, a genial policeman named Bill (David Morse) .and his wife Linda (Cara Seymour). For after-work relief, Selma has agreed to play Maria in a local production of

"The Sound of Music." She has a nice voice, but her nearblindness - which she tries to hide from everyone - is causing problems during rehearsal. In the factory, this lack of vision borders on the dangerous. Selma works with expensive machinery that can damage easily. Her devoted friend, Kathy (Catherine Deneuve), tries to help Selma. But, inevitably, she's bound to lose her job. And it seems just a matter of time before the stealing matter comes to a head. The tougher things get, the more Selma imagines powerfully realistic musical scenes. Random noises from the factory floor or the sound of a train rumbling across a bridge become the rhythmic back beat for a Vincente Minnelli-style song-anddance number. Selma bursts into song. The drab world around her becomes an instant soundstage. And passersby perform perfect choreographic patterns. So, what exactly is this movie? "Dancer in the Dark," which won the Palme D'Or at Cannes this year for best movie and Best Female

Performance for Bjork, is an immigrant story, on one level. It's a blue-collar allegory, too - a melodrama that finds a fascinating niche between the austere religious films of Rotert Bresson and the seriocomic films of Aki Kaurismaki. It's something of a musical; perhaos a meta-musical would be the right term. And it's surely no accident that this movie)..set in 1964, also features Latherine Deneuve the radiant star of "The Umbrel'.as of Cherbourg," a 1964 mtsical with similar na rative components. And ytt, "Dancer" is a liberation from all of those films and genres. You may leave this movi~exhilarated by its no-holds-barred boldness or annoyed and bewildered at the unpredhable course it takes. But [().reit or hate it and few willl.uffer a fair-tomiddling opi;i.ion- there's little question that "Dancer" sings and dan<esto its own tune. \Nhatever ywr reaction, you're unlikely '0 leave "Dancer" singin 1 and tapping your feet. It is nl:t big on happy endings. Sm, Bjork is magnificent, and be film is aesthetically pleasng. 1

Whitman. Yoceling cowboys have their own kind of soul and are woefully ignored by mainstream Hollywood . "Remember the Titans" can be seen in two ways as a feel-good flick about football and tie en I ightenment that comes when we

look past the color of another's skin and discover the humanity within, or as a formulaic rip-off that deftly steers its way through a potential minefield of racial issues on its way to the bank. · Either way, you'll probably like it.

From Page 5 crossing the low ceilings. Atop the images - which are open to public viewing during regular Alcatraz tour hours - the subjects tell their own stories in print. Above a disintegrating toilet and a crumbled sink, photos and stories fill wall space. The images almost seem to whisper: There is James Blaylock, 66, with his Father Time beard, eyes downcast, his image, indistinct, made up o'f tones of gray. Serving a life sentence for drug trafficking in North Carolina, he reflects, "How can I go about getting a time cut or getting a clemency act 'cause, as you can see, I'm eat up with emphysema, I'm on three sprays a day, and a pill three times a day. That's just for respiratory breathing." Or Alabama murder inmate Thurmon Jetton, 68, whose face is a web of wrinkles, mouth slack, eyes astonished "I feel like I played in h1r-U,is what I feel like." 1 Sentences of 150, 198 years . Clusters of 88- . 79-, 62-year-olds. Murder, sex crimes, trafficking drugs, robbery are among rhe wqrst. Among the most poignanf is William Howard "Tex" Johnson, fJ?,who ,s serving time for snatching $24 ih 1959 in Birmingham, Ala. Some inmates while away their hours into days into years in infirmaries. Their ailments range from rumors to kidney disease. In the course of the last six years, Lev1ne and ,vou, both Canadians, say they interviewed and photographed hundreds of prisoners. They were curious, they say, about men who are confined to a finite space for an infinite amount of time. "Rage, guns and alcohol almost invariably were the things that led them into prison," Levine emphasized. "Take those things away, and many of them wouldn't be there."

"It's a relatvely new trend," said Jennifer Walsh, assistant professor of criminal justice at California State University , Los Angeles. "In the '60s and '?Os, prisoners were paroled. They were given an inJeterminate sentence - lile six months to life - and then their case would cone up with the parole baud, and they would meet anG decide to release if it was determined that they (the prisoners) were no lon gtr a threat ." Bit that began to chancre in me 1980s and '90s, Waish sai.l, as voters demanded stffer sentencing laws. ''?risons are now having to bok into areas of geriatric .vards and hospice care. This phenomenon is still quite new. " Levine conceived the project after listening to a radio documentary about a prison in Alabama, which has a growing elderly population. "I picked up the phone ,and said, 'Mike, you wanna go to prison?"' Levine said with a laugh. The duo, who have known each other for almost 10 years, set out with a photo assistant to visit the Hamilton Institute for the Aged and Infirm in Alabama. The warden there "told us that his prison was quickly becoming a nursing home," Levine said . The photographer set up his 4-by-5 camera in the conference room. At first the reception among the inmates was rather cool if not icy, Wou recalled. "They kept asking us : 'You boys federal marshals? \Ve know you boys are federal marshals ." But in five days, there were lines of men on IVs, with walkers, canes and rolling oxygen tanks, waiting to be photographed and then interviewed by \Vou. Armed with a passel of prints and contact sheets in March 1996, Levine went

Jill Caliendo

back to his agent, who thought they were show-worthy. The question was where. "I immediately got the idea of Alcatraz," Levine said. To mount a comprehensive show, Levine knew he needed more. Setting out with a photo assistant and a writer, David Winch, Levine traveled to additional facilities between 1996 and 1999 - including the McCain Correctional Correctional Hospital in North Carolina, and the Ste . Anne-desPlaines Institution in Canada. Among the high-rriority problems at some o these institutions, Levine said, is "keeping the young guys from beating up the old guys." Securing Alcatraz, which closed in 1963 and has been a national park site since 1972, took about a year. Approving the project's proposal and content was the biggest hurdle. Though it isn't the first art exhibit held on the grounds, said Alcatraz Island site supervisor Craig A. Glassner, the current one is among the few projects that have made it past a rather strict screening process. "We've had people contact us wanting to do a 'Survivor' type show on the island. No way," Glassner said, shaking his head. "The entire island is a historical monument, so (we) had to make sure that they were not going to change the existing condition or not damage it in any way." Also, Glassner stressed, those who apply to use the site must "clearly express why Alcatraz would be the best place, what their interpretive goals were . The work Ron and Michael are doing isn't trying to tell people what to think. Instead, they were provoking people to think. We were very impressed. We were all moved by the images. This kind of work helps us reach our (educational) goals."

Another .weekend, another rivalt·y USU travels to BYU to take on 2-4 Cougars

AARON MORTON

SportsEditor All head coach Mick Dennehy wants is consistency out of his team. "We are not playing well enough, long enough to give ourselves a chance to win," he said. "Hopefully this will be the week." It will be a tough one to make happen, though. USU will take on Brigham Young University today at 7:05 p.m. at Cougar Stadium. The · Aggies haven't registered a win in Provo since 1978 and have lost four straight overall. "[I have] tremendous, tremendous amount of respect for La Veil Edwards and the program that he has developed over the years at BYU," Dennehy said of the former USU graduate and member of the Aggies' All-Century team. "I admire the way his teams ,• play." The Aggies have played well ·= in stretches, but haven't been • able to put an entire game together. Dennehy said his team needs to cut down on the penalties - especially on offense, where the team was flagged on all 11 penalties convert on third down conversions and have all positions working together at the same time. But the team is thin at the secondary and defensive lines, Dennehy said. And the offensive line didn't play very well in the 35-14 loss to the University of Utah. They'll need to play well

Aggieswill be gunning for Div. I Arizona St. REUBEN WADSWORTH

Assist¥Jt$portsEditor The Utah State hockey club will venture into uncharted territory this weekend as it travels to Tempe, Ariz., to take on Arizona State University for the first time in the club's history. The doubleheader with the Division I Sun Devils 1sn't scaring the Aggies. Division II USU should give ASU a nm for its money, said USU assistant captain Deryk Anderson. A loss to USU would look bad on ASU's record an<l would hurt rhe Sun Devils' chances of making the national tourney, he e)(plained. Anderson said the Aggies are both excited and nervous about playing ASU, partly because they have heard the Sun Devils' fan base is bigger than theirs. The Sun Devils' rink seats 7,000; 5,000 more than the Weber County Ice Sheet where the Aggies play their home games , "A lot of our guys haven't played in front of a crowd that large," Anderson said, "We're used to awav crowds of 200-300." • Anderson said the Aggies usually have the largest crowds of any team they play. After a 6-4 loss to the University of Southern California in which the Aggies blew a 4-0 lead, Anderson said his team must

control its penalties. "USC played to our weaknesses," he said. "l\Te lost our heads." In the USC game, the Aggies also suffered defensive breakdowns, he said. If USU is able to tighten up its defense against ASU, Anderson said he thinks the team should come out on

top. "Offensively we can compete with anyone," he said. Some team members have had to take on new roles this season, but with more game time an<l a positive attitude, the team will learn how to work better together, Anderson said. The next few games against fellow Rocky Mountain Collegiate Hockey Association members \:Veber State . University, the University of Utah and the Provo Icecats (Brigham Young University) will be a test of USU's character, Anderson said. According to Anderson, the R..\1:CHA has raised its level of play this season. "This year the U is better than Weber," he said. The Utah team includes three Europeans this year, he said. One of those players is from the Norwegian national team, Anderson said he thinks in order for his Aggies to be successful this season they need to be in more 4-2 or 31 games . "Every minute needs to be pressure packed," he said.

Like many USU fans, I left Saturday's Homecoming game vs. the University of Utah w ith a bad taste in my mouth. Sure it was fun to be in the stands with friends and family from the evil (like fruits of devil) U of U. But after my Ute friend Jake laughed at me for the nth time, I developed a large headache. I needed to go somewhere, somewhere where everybody knows your name (they should because of the small crowds). I should have visited the Spectrum to watch our volleyball team. But, already looking for a build ing to jump off, I didn't want to watch ,mother Utah State team go down in flames - the Aggies were play ing No. 9 University of California, Santa Barbara. So I left the game early. That is a mistake I wil l not make again. USU smoked the Gauchos in three games, including 150 in the final game, beating them for the first time in more than two decades. Now the Aggies have broken into the national pol ls for the first time since the NCAA has administered volleyball and are starting to get positive media attention from the Salt Lake City dailies (even if the Salt Lake Tribune's Dick Rosetta did get the locat ion for Tuesday's match w ith the University of Utah wrong - it ;s in Logan, not Salt Lake City). USU is ranked 20th or 25th in the count ry, depending on the poll, and is on top of the standings and on a 10-game winning streak in the toughest volleyball conference in the nation (three other Big West Conference schools are in the top 25). All this is even more impressive because of what has changed in just two years. I remember covering a match during the 8-22 1998 season where the players were in tears and head coach Ginny Alexander was too upset to show up for the post-game interview with reporters. Many don't remember the 0-30 season in 1995 where the Aggies didn't even force a game five. But a phoenix has swept through the USU program, giving it new life. Head coach Tom Peterson has helped give USU fans a place to go to watch a true contender. After another tough road trip to California this week, against the University of the Paciflc and No . 15 Long Beach State University, USU wi 11 return to the Spectrum to try to complete the in-state sweep after beating Brigham Young University and Weber State University. It would be nice to see at least 2,000 fans there. I know the team would appreciate it.

Staff Writer

Many coaches dread going 'on the road, especially during a trying season and especially after playing in the friendly confines of their home field for nearly a month. Not USU men's soccer coach Kyle Jacobsen, who looks at a road trip as exciting and a good chance for the team to bond. "It's a lot more fun to go somewhere else to play," Jacobsen said. The Aggies will be looking to rebound from a tough loss to the University of Utah as they travel to Ogden to play a double-header against firstyear club team Colorado Mountain College and Weber State University. The games are slated to start at 1:30 and 4p.m. Saturday. USU will be looking to improve on its previous encounter with the Wildcats, a

6-1 setback in early September. As for Colorado Mountain College, Jacobsen said he heard they have some good athletes, but that's the extent of his knowledge. Although the Aggies haven't tasted victory this season, Jacobsen said he is confident his team will be up to the challenge. "I'm confident my team has the skills to do what they need to do," Jacobsen said. "They just need to apply themselves on the field." In the Aggies' first game against the Wildcats, WSU was able to effectively attack the middle of the field and use the team's speed on the wings. As a result, USUflans to congest the middle o the field and look to attack the Wildcat back.line early in the game, Jacobsen s.aid. "I want 'fo apply a lot of , pressure on them early on," he said.

boasting three seniors and a junior. "Their front four is probably the best front four that we have played thus far," Dennehy said. A~ for quanerbacks, BYU is in a situation similar to USU's. While there was a battle for playing time early, starter Bret Engemann was taken out because of a season-ending shoulder injury. Now Charlie Peterson is starting, and he has put up numbers like USU's Jose Fuentes. Both have nearly a one-to-one ratio of interceptions and a completion percentage of around 50 percent. Dennehy said despite his six interceptions, Fuentes is getting better. "I thought Jose played OK," he said. "He probably had a couple of throws that we would like to have back."

DM: I see myself graduated and married. Maybe with one kid, maybe, we'll have to see. Family comes first, but I'd like to have a career, too.

At the kicker spot, both teams match up evenlv. Both BYU's Owen Pochman and USU;s Brad Bohn have gone 16-for-8 this season. He has scored USU's first points in the last five games. If USU does score against BYU, it will have to be early. The Cougars have allowed opponents to score an average of nearly 23 points in the first half before shutting them down to only 8.5 points in the second half. Like the Cougars (2-4), the Aggies (1-3) desperately need a win, but Dennehy said the most important games are in the Big vVest Conference - this is the final non-conference game until they face Idaho State University on Nov. 18. "The most important part of the schedule is not behind us," Dennehy said. "It is in front of us."

Dear Editor, Rich T.imothy is my roommate and beloved friend, however, despite my love, I see his article on feminism as an offense to it, not an advocacy. The problem begins, well, at the beginnir,g. The very title, "Feminists, stay strong and take what you deserve," immediately misconceives the mission of feminism. I am a male and a feminist, and certainly I do not subscribe to any radical notions of feminism, rather I see the movement as it should be intended. It is a movement to change the social psychology which segregates and judges particular groups of people, and to institute a psychology of equality. This equality is extended to all groups, with an emphasis on those who need it most: minorities. The idea that feminists are out to "take" something is wrong. Instead they intend to give a broader understanding of social equality to the lacking masses. And this. understanding is something far more foundational than Timothy's examples provide. That women are being paid less is a superficial consequence of an underlying attitude concerning women. Timothy considers the negatives of life as a woman (date rape, lower wages, etc.) against so-called positives such as "having the ability to we.ep one's way out of a ticket or make more in tips while waiting tables." The true feminist views these "positives" as part of the problem; it is this attitude of inequality that facilitates a woman to weep out of a ticket. Certainly it is unfair that a woman could do this, and when she does, she is only pand~ring to and reinforcing this mentality. She is

playing the game of what Yes, you heard me right (for feminists affectionately refer all those ignorant people out there). to as "the patriarchy." The article in question is Canada is as much part stuffed with the kind of broad of America as Wisconsin, stereotypes which lie at the Utah, Washington, D.C., roots of this problem femiPanama, Argentina, Mexico, nists are trying to overcome .

Thank you for your time.

Canadians are Americans Dear Editor, I was greatly concerned and ashamed when I read both Heather and Dave's articles on Canadian pride. Being from northeast Wisconsin, I also pronounce "about" and "bag" in an unUtahn fashion, and am often mistaken for a Canadian. I don't mind, even though the closest I have ever been to Canada is the bridge at Niagara Falls. What I don't understand is this antiCanada/anti-United States conflict. Both Heather and Dave claim that Canadians pride themselves on not being Americans. "It's nothing personal, we're just not Americans." Now, I am the first to admit that I am no geography wizard, but as far as I remember Canada has yet to be declared its own continent!

Last semester I was a paid note-taker for the Disability Office. I realized then, sitting in a business economics class, that I would never become an accountant. How could anyone get into a subject like that? Yet there were people asking questions, jotting down answers and even leaning forward in their seats! They were actually interested in what was being said. Hold on business majors, don't get angry yet. What I learned that day is how utterly wonderful it is to have you in this world. Without people like you, this world would be in a very economically unsound condition. I've heard so much lately about declaring a major. For those still undecided, I sympathize. Picking a major seems to be like picking out a car. Pick the right style and the choice brings forth self esteem and confidence. You may suddenly be dreaming of the most exotic places you

The fact is that in the year 2000, our nation is not simply a "Christian" nation. Surely, the future will see our country diversify even further. In addition, our schools need to focus on educating chi 1dren in a way that respects all the kids' heritage. I do feel strongly that we should rigidly adnere to the separation of church and state. However, I respect the right of others to disagree.

Egotistical Religion not attacks unnecessary required to have morals Dear Editor, While I did not read the article that he referred to in his letter, I found Brian Smith's letter to the editor to be incredibly egotistical and hostile in a way that prevented my respecting his argument. When you attack the people who disagree with you, Mr. Smith, rather than the facts of their opinion, you yourself lose credibility. In saying, "For those of you who don't know U.S. history either, he (Theodore Roosevelt) was a president," you may very well have offended some people· who actually share your general perspective. Also, I doubt that there is a person on this campus who doesn't know that our nation was founded on

Dear Editor, I would like to address a few of the issues raised by Brian Smith's letter in Friday's Statesman. I found it amusing that after he assumed such a condescending tone, and attempted to sound oh so scholarly, that he would end his letter with such a naive and completely wrong conclusion. You see, Mr. Smith, religion is not a prerequisite for having morals. Morals are one's personal beliefs on what is right and wrong, not necessarily how you believe God wants you to act. If you woke up one day and discovered that you no longer believed in God, your values and morals would not vanish along with your faith. You'd probably not pay tithing, and maybe not go to

Dear Editor, I think I speak for many oncampus housing residents when I say that something has got to be done about the poor condition of the laundromats here on campus. Am I wrong to say that nine times out of 10 there will be no change in the dollar changer and the machine that you invest your last two quarters into hoping that you wi 11at least be able to take one clean load home, will eat your quarters. Leaving you to take your wet clothes home to turn your couch, table, bed, anything into a clothes line. We have learned that not even calls to maintenance will solve this problem for you. All I'm saying is that we pay enough to rent these apartments, heck we even pay to park our cars here. Would it be too costly to this university to provide a little something for free?The freebie being regular, weekly perhaps, maintenance of laundromats and other student services here on campus. Stephanie Syme

New Testament is where it's at? I couldn't agree with Craig Huntzinger more. His analysis pegs the Founding Fathers perfectly. Where can the purist principles of morality be learned so clearly or so perfectly as from the New Testament? This question is relevant because of the 1,258 (exact number of Christian faiths) interpretations of the New Testament. The validity of the question lies within the easily seen premise that any and all morals, no matter how ridiculous, can be interpreted from an intentionally ambiguous book. Craig said earlier in his opinion, "The founders understood men established government to compel citizens to obey some moral code. Thus all laws are based on morality and religion, and therefore all government is founded upon religion." It is times like this I appreciate men like Craig. If his letter had said anything about slavery or the genocide of the American Indians, people might immediately discredit his argument and burn the paper. Another good tactic he used was that he left out the link between slavery/genocide and religion. If people knew that white men enslaved other men because they were hedonist savages who needed conversion, they might discount Craig's argument that all laws are based on religion. A few people's religion would probably disagree with the morality of slavery/genocide. What are those liberal bas>SEE

prescription drugs. Midway through, Gore spun a tale about a 15-year-old Florida girl in a classroom so overcrowded that she has to stand during her lessons. In conclusion, Gore called on Winifred Skinner, the 79year-old woman he met in Iowa last week who's so strapped by her prescription drug bi II that she makes ends meet by gathering aluminum cans for recycling. Yet another example of the neglected elderly, Gore intoned.

~[NS,I9!!!_ FrankAhrens TheWashington Post

If anyone doubted it, Tuesday night's presidential debate proved that George W. Bush is the dirtiest, most nefarious campaigner of this or any century. The proof? Didn't you listen to Al Gore? There can now be no doubt that Bush has silently and devastatingly penetrated the Gore campaign with an operative who's forcing Gore to shoot himself in the foot. And Gore doesn't even realize it. Early in the debate, Gore told the story of Milwaukee hypertension patient George McKinney, 70. He and his wife, Gore said, have to go to Canada to buy affordable

THE LAST SEVEN YEARS WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE? Gore should be surrounding himself with 23year-old dot-com millionaires on scooters, not geriatric canpickers. Bush played dumbfound-

ed, as though he was amazed by Gore's self-flagellation. The Republican nominee snorted impertinently and generally looked as pinched as a crab about to get whacked by a wooden mallet. But it was all a ruse. Surely, there is a cackling glee in the Bush speechwriting shop today. They must be combing the country, looking for the most desperate among us to insert into Gore's upcoming speeches. One can only imagine the possibi I ities: "Hey, we found a family of six in Kentucky that recycles roll-on deodorant balls and eats grubs!" "Terrific! Tell our operative to work that into Gore's speech on school lunches!" Unless ... Gore is even smarter than we thought. That there is no Bush plant. That Gore is actually operating on some higher logic level that Mobius-slrips around on itself to such a perplexing degree that it makes despair look positively sunny . Indeed, we inay .po,ssess such simple minds that we're missing the elegance and shrewdness of Gore's argument, which, to we illiterati, breaks down to this: 1. I've been vice president for the past seven years. 2. Here are some particularly wretched situations that Americans have found themselves in during that time. 3. Therefore, you should vote for me for president. The man is a genius!

open to a broad spectrum of interpretation. Who can say whether the man at the bank who gave the architect his loan is more or less beneficial to him than the brickmaker who provides him with his means to create his masterpiece? Who is more important, the dancer or the person who creates the machine that plays the music? The electrician or the lamp designer? The inventor or the one using the invention? If you are still undecided I suggest you enjoy the ride. Get as much of an education as you can. You don't have to choose a major. If you wait, one will choose you. You'll be intensely engrossed in something someday and someone will tell you, "You know, you're really good at that. You ought to do it for a living." Suddenly your college direction wi II have more meaning. After a 11,the greatest job in the world is when you find out what you love to do and then get someone else to pay you for doing it. Life is filled with wonderful variety. Variety of choice, of opinions and of dreams. We are a culture of invention because we are a culture of intense interaction. Our reliance upon each other for the culmination of all that we are as individuals is both ironic and endearing. There is nothing unethical in sharing what you know you already are rather than sharing what you think you should be . A major will come to you.

Parking policy unfair to employees Dear Fditor, Utah State University employees as well as Utah Stale University students are being penalized by not being allowed to park on Logan City streets. Many employees of Utah State University who do not have the privilege of purchasing a "close-to-the-work-place' parking pass have parked on the street and walked up Old Main Hill for years. Parking in this location provides quicker access to w_ork for anyone living south ot 1000 North. It is quicker because it takes approximately 30 minutes per day to drive the extra mileage to park in the Stadium lot and ride the shuttle bus back up to campus. Then workers employed in buildings other than the Taggart Student Center have an additional 5 to 15- minute walk from the bus stop to their

workplace. Employees and consumers of many Logan City schools and downtown businesses park on the street. Shouldn't USU employees be given the same privilege? No one should be penalized for parking on a public street. Many employees ha-vebenefited through the years from parking on the street by Old Main Hill. It has saved them valuable time, provided exercise and reduced stress. Please do not take away our benefits.
