Most students know George W. Bush and Al Gore are the two main presidential candidates; however, some may not understand where these candidates stand on the issues. One controversial issue is abortion. Many Utah State University students have said they will vote for Bush because of his stance on abortion. · "I don't like Gore's stance on abortion," said sophomore Charity Blau. "I'm not that liberal. " · According to CNN's All Politics Web site, Gore, a Democrat, supports abortion and opposes parental-consent or notification requirements. Bush, the Republican candidate, opposes abortion except in cases of rape, incest or threat to a woman's life. He supports parental-consent and notification requirements. Concerning the abortion pill RU-486, which has recently been approved by the FDA, Gore said, "Today's [FDA] decision is not about/olitics, but the health an safety of

time low during the 1998 election; only 62. l percent of those 18 and older were registered, according to the November 1998 supplement to the Current Population Survey. Registration in the North and West the same year was 61.8 percent. Actual voter turnout was 41. 9 percent that year. Downs said voting is extremely important. "It's said that one vote doesn't matter," he said. "If enough individuals cast one vote, collectively it matters. Nationwide, every vote that's counted is one vote."

But Bush, who opposes the FDA's decision, said, "I fear that making this abortion pill widespread will make abortions more and more common rather than more and more rare." Many students are concerned about environmental .. issues facing the United · States and the candidates' views concerning them, Casey Anderson, a junior, said he ·supports Gore because of "his environmentally sound policies.'' Junior Jim Steitz agrees with Anderson, but added that Green Party nominee Ralph Nader also supports environmental legislation. "Pick Gore or Nader - it doesn't matter," he said. Gore is in favor of devoting money to establishing the Energy Security and Environment Trust Fund. He also opposes exploring for oil and gas in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. Bush supports exploration of that area. Education is another pressing issue for the candidates. Bush said he would "triple federal funding for

. 'character education.'" Gore supports increased pay for teachers, especially those who teach in "high-need schools." Jacob Armstrong, also a sophomore, said the educational programs that Bush talked ab<;iutin the first presidential debate and in his speeches are good because Bush seems to be "more oriented toward· oppottunities for everyone.,, Bush supports providing additional college financial aid to high school students who take upper-division classes in math and science. He is also in favor of incr~asing Pell Grants to those students . '' Gore proposes the creation of a National Savings Program to help families invest their money in special trust funds, which help pay for their children's tuition at universities outside of their state.

Student Housing Extension was allocated $500 by the Associated Students of Utah State University's contingency fund for the 2000-2001 year. The program was audited and cut from the budget last year because the programs weren't running. These programs include garden plots, classes, supplies for these classes and Clover Buds, an afterschool program for children of students. Heather Solomon, vice president for University Extension, said the program has been in operation for 1 5 years and suffered this last year because of the director. She said in the six months she has been here, she has brought programs back. There was considerable debate among the council members on alternative dollar amounts and other means of funding. Brandon Hart, science senator, said he wanted to give half now and half in January He wanted to be able to see exactly how the $500 would be spent. "I agree that money should

go to them, it's just a question of specificity, " Hart said. Eric Worthen, graduate studies vice president, said the program is valuable because it is directed at married students. He said the amount of money spent on undergraduate and single students compared to graduate and married students is much higher . He said when he lived in the trailer court, many families utilized the Extension Program often, particularly the garden. "It was a way to bring their kids and show them how to garden because you can't do these kinds of things when you live on campus," Worthen said. Because Extension was cut from the budget, the office will have to request funding each year unless it is returned to the fixed budget for next year. Also at the weekly meeting, additional funding for Poetry & a Beverage, an eight-year tradition at USU, was denied . Budget cuts last year limited the funding of each office and Trine Thomas, Arts & Lectures vice president, will now be looking at other means, like community sponsors, in order to continue the program.

As part of College of Natural Resources Week, the Ecological Coalition of Students marked trees around the Quad to illustrate the real destruction happening in forests nationwide to fill America's needs for paper. "We thought it would be a good visual representation of the impact we make everyday," said Jim Steitz, a member of ECOS. The United States uses 90 thousand tons of paper daily, and every ton of paper takes 3 tons of trees to create. Across the nation, daily newspapers alone use 750 thousand trees every day - only one-third of which are recycled./ Joe Rowley photo

Nobel prize awarded to Russian, two U.S. researchers in physics KIM GAMEL Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A Russian and two U.S.-based researchers won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for work that helped create modem information technology, leading to everyday devices like pocket calculators, CD players and cell phones. Also Tuesday, the chemistry prize went to two Americans and a Japanese scientist for their discoveries that plastic can be made electrically conductive. The work by winners Alan}. Reeger, Alan G. MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa has spurred improvements in film, 1V screens and windows and could eventually lead to a host of new technologies, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. "The physics prizes are about the electronics of today and the chemistry prizes are about the electronics of the future," academy member Per Ahlberg said. In physics, Zhores I. Alferov of the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Herbert Kroemer, a German-born U.S. citizen who does research at the University of California at Santa Barbara, will share half the prize for work in developing technology used in satellite communications and cellular phones. Jack Kilby, 76, of Texas Instruments in Dallas will get the other half for his part in the invention and development of the integrated circuit, the forerunner of the microchip, and as a co-inventor of the pocket calculator. The pi:ize this year is worth $915,000. Academy member Hermann Grirnmeiss said the work of the three men had been invaluable in the development of modem information technology. "Without Kilby it would not have been possible to build the personal computers we have today, and without Alferov it would not be possible to transfer all the information from satellites down to the earth or to have so many telephone lines

Goreleads on top issues, but Democratsless enthusiasticabout him,presidential poll says WILL LESTER

AssociatedPress WASHINGTON - Al Gore is stronger on the issues of the economy, health care and Social Security, says a new presidential poll, but Democrats are less enthusiastic about,hi'm than Republicans are about George W Bush. Those could be factors in the extremely close race reflected in a poll released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. Bush was at 45 percent and Gore at 44 percent among likely voters. That's roughly even given the poll's error margin of 4 points among the 722 likely voters polled from Oct. 4-8. Several national polls have shown a close race, while one shows Bush slightly ahead. Swing voters were just as likely to

tilt toward Gore as they were toward Bush, the Pew poll suggested. Fewer than half of Democrats in this poll said they strongly support Gore while more than six in 10 Republicans said they strongly support Bush. "The enthusiasm advantage has resurfaced for Bush," said Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center. "This probably reflects Democrats not liking Gore's performance in the debate." The poll suggested Bush has made gains based on his political honesty and likability, even though Gore has a big advantage on several of the top issues. Just under half of voters think Gore will win the election while about a third think Bush will win. But Bush's more enthusiastic backing from his own party could be significant on

Election Day. "Enthusiasm could affect turnout," Kohut said. "It could affect the extent to which voters encourage others to vote for their candidate." Gore led among women, 49-40, while Bush led among men, 46 -39. Gore led on the issue of keeping the economy strong by 12 points, health care by 13 points, Social Security by 8 points and world affairs by 8 points. They were close on the issues of taxes, education, the role of government and the military. Affluent voters have moved sharply toward Bush, who has been criticized frequently by Gore for favoring the wealthy with his tax cuts. Bush now has a 10-point lead among parents, 49 percent to 39 percent for Gore. Parents were about evenly divided between the two candidates in September.

JGLANCE Gro~psuspendsgunlocksafter localpolicefindmanydefects KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -A nationwide effort to distribute gun locks has been suspended after police in two East Tennessee cities discovered many of them could be easily opened. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade group for weapon and ammunition makers, had distributed 400,000 cable locks nationwide through 650 law enforcement agencies. The foundation's program, dubbed Project HomeSafe, was launched last year. A Knoxville police officer discovered one of the locks would spring open when bounced in his hand. The officer alerted Police Chief Phil Keith, who ordered a test of the 5,000 devices the department had planned to distribute. The check found the trait was common. Distribution to police departments has been postponed and the trade group is recommending that local agencies stop handing them out until problems with the locks is corrected. 'We thank the law enforcement authorities in Chattanooga and Knoxville for making us aware of this situation, and we have begun to notify all of our Project HomeSafe partners of this potential problem," said Robert T. Delfay, president and chief executive officer of the Newtown, Conn.-based foundation. Bill Brassard, the project's coordinator, said Tuesday that the locks are manufactured overseas but he didn't know by whom. Officials are checking to see whether the flaw is common to all the locks, or whether the ones in Tennessee were just a bad batch . "That's what we're looking into," he said. "We've sent a couple of trucks to Knoxville and Chattanooga to pick them up. To be on the cautious side, we've put the entire program on hold."

Computer friendshearwoman shotwhilechattingon Internet DUNN, N.C. (AP) - A woman's ex-husband broke into her mobile home and shot her as friends on the other side of the state listed from an Internet voice chat room, authorities said. Deanna Diane Gregory, 28, died Monday at a university hospital in Chapel Hill following the weekend shooting. Gregory told four friends through her computer's microphone that her ex-husband was breaking in, the Harnett Countv Sheriff's Office said. The friends heard three gunshots and notified authorities, who found Gregory's front door open and the woman wounded on the couch, Maj. Steve West with the sheriff's office said. Adam Bruce Moore, 29, was initially charged with attempted murder, but the charge was expected to change to murder, Wes said. He was also charged with first-degree burglary. West said the couple had children who were staying with .Moore's parents when the shooting occurred. Earlier this year, Gregory accused Moore of making threats, but the case was dismissed, prosecutors said.

Reporterheldhostageat prison DANNEMORA, N .Y. (AP) -A Court TV reporter was being held hostage at a maximwn security state prison Tuesday afternoon by the murderer of an 82-year-old New York City millionaire. Inmate Kenneth Kimes, 25, was holding a pen to the throat of reporter Maria Zone, according to the state Department of Correctional Services. Kimes is serving a 125-year sentence at Clinton Correctional Facility in northeastern New York. He and his mother, Sante Kimes, were arrested on a Utah fugitive warrant and sentenced June 27 for murdering Irene Silverman in a scheme to steal her $7 million Manhattan home. Although Silverman's body was never found, the Kimeses were convicted. Their lawyers said they would appeal. Zone was taken hostage at 2:20 p.m., and Kimes told her camera crews and security personnel to "back off," Department of Correctional Services spokesman James Flateau said. Prison negotiators were talking with Kimes, Flateau said, but little had changed 2 1/2 hours later. The reporter did not appear to be injured, Flateau said. The prison, near the Canadian border, houses 2,865 inmates.

Floridarestores civil rights of convictin Watergatescandal TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida has quietly restored the . civil rights of Charles Colson more than 25 years after he was convicted of trying to cover up the Watergate scandal. id Colson, 68, regained, among other things, the right to vote, ) serve on jury, run for office and practice law, if he were to seek h admission to the Florida bar. r .s The former special counsel to President Nixon served seven H months in federal prison for obstruction of justice. His name was on a list of 22 people who had their rights restored by executive order. "He certainly has served his time," Republican Gov.Jeb Bush said Tuesday.

!Briefs

To dam or not to dam? ALICE LINDAfil, of Wise Water Use,

Utah Division of Water Resources representative Dennis Strong, Utah River Council's Zack Frankel and Thad Erickson of the Water Advisory Board presented their opposing views for and against the building of one or two dams on the Bear River in a forum held Tuesday night in the TSC Auditorium. Lindahl and Strong argued for the development while Frankel and Erickson argued against it. Strong said any developments would take into account the right of the Bear River Bay and other areas near the Great Salt Lake, which include the bird refuge. Frankel called the development advocates' proposed reasons for needing more water in the future "the Chicken-Little debate and the Boston Tea Party."

He said other states are more diligent than Utah in conserving their water, and that the issue isn't really water, but concrete and tax dollars that will be required for the developments. Strong said the first measures would be to modify the existing opperation of Willard Bay and that it would not take any water during the summer, all of which has been appropriated to the bird refuge. But Frankel said that the wetlands near the mouth of Salt Lake - which are fed by the river - don't get their allotted water as it is, saying that three out of four acres dry up each year. He also addressed the inundation of some of Utah's most fertile farmland that would happen as a result of the proposed Honeyville Dam. / Joe Rowley

Gore and Bush support granting permanent normal trade relations status to China and opening Chinese markets to U.S. agricultural products, according to CNN. Another issue that Bush and Gore agree on, according to CNN, is that of campaign finance reform. Both support a ban on "soft money" donations from unions and corporations. Civil rights is another controversial issue where Bush and Gore have similar positions. Both oppose same-sex marriage. However, their positions on other civil rights issues vary. Gore supports affirmative action, believes homosexuals should be allowed to serve openly in the military and supports tougher hate crime legislation, according to CNN. Bush opposes quotas and racial preferences that he says are sometimes tied to

affirmative action. He supports the current "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the military with regard to homosexuality. He also opposes expanding hatecrimes laws. Bush and Gore agree that continued investments in defense and military technology will be beneficial to the country, according to the Web site. Sen.

College crime reporting still cloudy; new rules to help MICHAEL HIGGINS

ChicagoTribune Under the old rules of campus crime reporting, Brook Baker's murder didn't count . The Vincennes University student was killed in 1997 in an apartment across the street from the Indiana community college, so Vincennes officials were free to exclude the incident from their annual report on campus crime . The new rules - whicn make their debut in this year's reports and were released thisweek - were supposed to force the nation's colleges to provide more information to help students and their parents assess campus safety.

Schools are now required to report more offenses that don't lead to arrests, for example, ~d to give a more detailed breakdown of violent crimes. But the most significant change - a requirement that schools report crimes that happen on public property adjacent to their campuses - is subject to such wide interpretation that it is virtually meaningless, safety activists complain. "I count the near sidewalk [bordering the campus], the street and the far sidewalk," said Dolores Stafford, a board member of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators and police director at George Washington University in

Washington. "Where I wouldn't be required to count is a building on the other side of the street that the university doesn't own. " In other words, Baker's murder still wouldn't be counted , according to the association. A check of schools in the region showed varying interpretations. At Northwestern University, officials count crimes in areas that extend more than a half-mile from campus in some directions, encompassing many private businesses and residences . But at the U Diversity of Illinois at Chicago, officials adopted the narrow association definition, except for some added territory

at commonly used train stops. Vmcennes officials woulan't comment on whether they would report a crime like the Baker murder now. Officials at the U.S . Department of Education , which wrote the rules, declined to give specific guidelines, saying the schools can be relied on to make those judgments. "The overall thrust of the legislation is to try to get some information to students and their parents about the relative safety of schools," said Dan Madzelan, chief of forecasting and policy analysis in the Education Department's Office of Postsecondary Education.

Organizers of the "Ancestors" lecture series have moved the presentation scheduled for this week back one week to accommodate a special speaker. Instead of "Americas, October 11, 1492 - The Incas," thisweek's seminar will feature Alvin Whitehair from the Navajo tribe. Whitehair will speak Thursday in Room 3 0 5 of the Eccles Conference Center at 7 p.m.

Programaimsto increasediversity USU's Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Office is sponroring a free 10week training program, "Enhancing Diversity in the Workforce," to help people with limited English skills as they enter the workforce. The classesare Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8:15 p.m at Logan High School, 162 W 100 South beginning Oct . 17. The program focuses on the language and cultural skills that people with limited English proficiency need to obtain employment and successfully function on the job.

I lived in England for two years, and thought since we both spoke English there wouldn't be much difference in the culture. Boy was I wrong. One day I went into a grocery store and asked the lady behind the counter to put my sucker stick in the garbage. She looked at me like I was from another planet and finally said, "What? Oh do you want me to put that in the bin for you?" I had just experienced culture shock. Americans aren't the only ones who experience culture shock. Many foreign students at Utah State University experience culture shock as they come to America. Weather and food are among the many things that are hard for international students to get used to. "Winter is hard to get used to. Walking in the snow was hard to get used to. The snow turns to ice, which is slippery and then you lose your balance," said Preshant Singh, a student from India. SatyanarayanaH.S. and Sriram Kuppuswajm, both from India, agreed with Preshant about the weather. "We come from a tropical county, so winter is different for us," H.S. said. Benjaras Marpraneet, an international student from Thailand, said, "It is too cold for me, (in Logan). There is no snow in Thailand."

Senior Writer. ·

In the 1650s, George Fox began to question the Church of England and pro~ posed the idea that people could feel God's presence directly through personal inspiration. · He rejected the necessity of a clergy or priest in receiving divine influence, and defined all people as equal. Members of his church believe in an inner light found in every man. The Society of Friends, more commonly known as the Quakers, embraces equality, simplicity, social justice and non-violent solutions to problems as the keystones of their religion. According to Cathy Webb, the clerk for the Logan Religious Society of Friends, the "existence of this inner light is in every person." "It was a pretty shattering idea at the time," Webb said. "It is very mystical and very personal. There is a part of God in every person." The Logan meetings don't have speakers or clergy, Webb said. Members and attendees

join in silent meditation, Webb said. They share their inspirations with the group. Minutes of the meetings are taken, and the consensus gradually becomes the policy for living. These meetings can also be called for'marriages or memorial services. Friends and relatives are invited to attend and share their thoughts. "It's a very, very intimate thing," Webb said. "People are always impressed with them." The name Quaker comes from the way their voices "quiver and quake" when they receive personal insight, Webb said. She said they are part of an international organization called the Friends World Committee. They meet regionally twice yearly with the Utah Friends Fellowship. The Logan group takes part in the lntermountain Yearly Meeting. The Quakers are united in their policy of non-violence, Webb said. A Quaker organization called the American Friends Service Committee received the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts-in the

reconstruction of Europe. Quakers have challenged the use of income taxes for military funding, tried to establish non-violent programs and promoted the use of diplomacy to solve problems, Webb said. Quakers stand with the Mennonites, the Brethren and other churches in the New Call to Peacemaking. "We're working together to improve people's awareness and consciousness of violence," Webb said. Quakers also promote simplicity in everyday living, Webb said. Many Quakers are involved in environmental causes. "We realize that happiness is not related to materialism," Webb said. "We're working so others can have a simple lifestyle also. We strive to use resources on the planet carefully without overuse." Webb sajd the Logan meetings usually last an hour and are held in the Whittier Community Center on Sundays at 10 a.m. Following the meetings on the first Sunday of each month, a business meeting is held. Members address their ideas and concerns, from

finances to community programs. They don't take votes, but discuss things until a consensus is reached. Each member is able to "speak their truth," Webb said. On the first and third Sunday of every month a First Day School, or Sunday School, is held for children's programs. The Society of Friends doesn't have a sacrament, and members aren't baptized. "The relationship with God is very personal and direct," Webb said. To become a member, a person first comes to the meetings and learns about Quaker history and beliefs. Then they submit a letter to the clerk, expressing of their desire to join. A clearness committee meets to "determine whether they are clear in their intentions," Webb said. Webb said these committees are also used to help people determine their course for any life-changing event. For more information about the Society of Friends, contact Cathy Webb at 750-6510 or Cindy Yurth at 750-8956.

Japanese Club provides understanding of Asian culture for all students HEIDI INGEBRIGTSEN

NotJapanese? No problem. Utah State University's Japanese club is for everyone. "You don't have to be Japanese, just interested in the culture," said John Heflin, Japanese club president. The club consists of Japanese and American students meeting for cultural activities, Heflin sai<l. The Japanese club allows the opportunity for interaction between two cultures, Heflin said. It gives Japanese natives a chance to make American friends and Americans to make Japanese friends. The club also provides a comfortable environment for Japanese students who don't

speak "perfect English," Heflin said. Activities are bilingual to serve the range of club members from those completely fluent in English to those who don't speak any English at all. "Very few of the activities are educational; most are fun," Heflin said. "Japanese Club is somewhere between an academic and social club." A large part of the Japanese culture is food, so the club has a lot of food-related activities, Heflin said. Since the club is affiliated with ASUSU, it also conducts a service project each semester. Sign-up forms for the club are in the Animal Science building, Room I04A. Details for upcoming events can be found on the club's Web page, www.usu.edu/jclub/index.html.

A non-denominational church that does not require membership and allows anyone to come as they are has come to Logan. "I think most people will feel really comfortable in our church," said Eric Brybenthal, pastor of the Cavalry Chapel. The Calvary Chapel was originally formed in the 1960s in Costa Mesa, Calif., as an outreach to hippies, Brybenthal said.

The Calvary Chapel has been organized in Smithfield for the past four years. Recently it moved to the Edith Bowen School auditorium, where it holds meetings at 10 a.m. every Sunday. Brybenthal is originally from New Jersey, but was raised in Chicago, Ill. He was raised to be Catholic. "By the time I was 17, I left home," Brybenthal said. "I started running around like most teenagers. I experienced the world for two years."

He met his wife, Michelle, in California, and she started taking him to church at the Calvary Chapel, where he realized something was missing in his Iife. "I tried to fill it with drugs and alcohol," Brybenthal said. He realized that it was God who was missing and started spending more time at church and working at youth hotlines. After minis•tering as a pastor in a prison for a number of years, he was asked by the pastor of his congregation in California to

head the church here. "The church focuses on teaching the bible," Brybenthal said. "My whole purpose to be here is that people would learn the Bible as they dissect it and really get an understanding [of it]." For many people the Bible is hard to understand, Brybenthal said. "Some people may have never heard the word before," Brybenthal said. "We go through each verse, line by line, to get exactly what the author, who is God, was trying to teach."

Educating more than the mind EMILY WAX

The Washington Post

Sitting in a small classroom at Yorktown High School in Arlington, Va., Lauren Jinks, 17, got her dose of mathematics along with a memorable lesson on empathy. Her class solved the day's math questions by computing the population losses caused by the murder of Jews and homosexuals during the Holocaust. Down the hall, in U.S. history, Shadia Hafiz, 17, fiddled with her black spiked bracelet while she listened to an anthropology lesson about body rituals. It doubled as a parable about tolerating differences in cultures, communities and, yes, high school cliques. With lessons on office politics during French class, being communicative during

biology and kindness during physical education, Yorktown High appears to be the first school in the region to fully integrate "social and emotional intelligence" into virtually every aspect of school

life. Students on sports teams will get awards not only for being the best player, but also for being the most compassionate. Students who are disciplined for, say, smoking or getting into fights will fill out a Student Reflection Form, on which they will craft sentences about what was bothering them and the consequences of their actions. "While academic learning is always very important, we want the students to know that it's not just about good test scores," said Raymond J. ► SEE EDUCATING

Now students at Utah State University have a chance to go other places and students from other places have the chance to come here in order to gain a brighter perspective on the world that we live in and that surrounds us. This chance is located on campus through the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) located on the third floor of the Taggart Student Center, Room 304. There are several programs through ISEP, the partner school program and the ISEP program are just a few of them. The partner school program offers a student the opportunity to come here from another country and in tum Utah State University sends a student to that country. The USU student can also go to any school within the same partner program. The

tuition is the same for any student. No matter where they go, they will always pay the same price, said Kay W Forsyth, director of the study abroad program. "The International Student Exchange Program benefits so many students," said senior Sara McNamee, a former exchange student. Sara went to a France universit'e called Franche-Comt'e from USU. She found that it was easier for her to adjust to life in France because she decided that she was going to make the most out of her experience. She found that the French were not very hospitable to people from other countries whereas people from the United States, for the most part try to help out. "This program is so beneficial for students from other countries that come here and for students that go to other countries," Forsyth said. "It

BOMBAY, India - The strobe lights flicker, the drums roll, the music builds with suspense. The contestant smiles nervously. The movie-idol host, oozing both avuncular empathy and regal omniscience , asks the computer for the first question, and the hottest show in Indian television history begins. Who wrote the Kama Sutra? How many years are in a millennium? In less than two months on the air, "Kaun Banega Crorepati" - Hindi for "Who Wants to Be a 10 Millionaire?"- has broken all records for Indian TV viewing, with 20 million households tuning in four nights a week. That's two-thirds of the 3 3 million people with cable TY. The top prize money of 10 million rupees ($230,000) is a fortune for most of the populace in India, where the yearly per capita income is $465. "Most quiz shows are dull and elitist, but this is like having Sean Conne1y or Harrison Ford giving away a million dollars every night," said Steve Askew, an official of Star TY, an Asiawide cable network. Star purchased the "Millionaire" program license from the American version and has faithfully copied its successful format, down to the futuristic lighting and music. "Crorepati" has also become a mandatory cultural reference point for this diverse nation of 1 billion, which is being rapidly homogenized by television (India

many students mentioned was hard to get used to. The food is much different here than in other countries. Many said it lacks in flavor. "I don't like [the food]. It's not spicy and the taste doesn't last long," H.S. said. "The food is too bland," Marpraneet said. "Thai food is spicy." The way men and women interact and dress are other things that are different for international students. "Men and women don't touch each other a lot in Thailand, unless they are very close like boyfriend and girlfriend," Marpraneet said. "It was so hard for me to get used to [touching people]." Shaking hands with the

opposite sex was also hard to get used to, she said. "Many people say hi here, even if you don' know them. People don' t do that in India," Sighn said . The amount of unisex clothing is also different than what many international students are used to. It's strange to see women and men basically dress the same except for the color, Sigh said. Women in India mostly wear the traditional dress - a salwar kamzee - so it is different to see them wear ing many of the same things. There are other differences as well. The language is different. "Americans speak fast and it is a different En glish than what I learned in school,"

Marpraneet said. "I learned business English. It is also hard because there is not one accent [for America]." "Calling professors by their first name only is strange. It feels like we are friends with our professors," she said. "In Thailand we use [the title] professor in front of their name." "There are many good things about America that I am getting used to; things like punctuality, respect for work whatever work you do sports and an appreciation for many things. Many things are clean in the mornings, it's very systematic," Sighn said. "There's not a lot of foreigners in Logan, so I felt different. People looked at me like a stranger," Marpraneet said.

DIRECTOR ALBERT HUGHES scopes out a scene for the American film "From Hell" on the streets of Prague , Czech Republic./Los Angeles Times photo

Making the Czech connection DAv1n/JfoLLEY Los A-1gelesTimes

Czech Rep,ublic during July included ' The Affair of the Necklace," an Alcon Entertainment film for Warner Bros. starring Academy Award winner Hilary Swank, and the TNT /Warner Bros. television miniseries "The Mists of Avalon," starring Julianna Margulies and Anjelica Huston. Four productions at once marked a peak in the intensity of U.S. filmmaking here, and it put a strain on the availability of such talent as Englishspeaking camera crews, U.S. producers said. Other U.S. films were shot here earlier in the year, as were various European productions. "Right now, millions and millions of dollars are being spent in this country on these films," Robinson said. Matthew Stillman, the British head of Stillking Films, a production company he founded in Prague in 1993, estimated that foreign film and television productions will spend about $70 million in the Czech Republic this year. Stillking competes with Czech-owned production companies such as ETIC Film Production and EIS Production, both run by former Barrandov employees. Shooting U.S . and other foreign films here is a cooperative effort. Foreign producers bring in scripts, directors, stars and key crew members, while contracting through local pro duction companies for sets, local employees and the use of spectacular sites such as castles and chateaux . Some things are possible in the Czech Republic that wouldn't even be imagined in Los Angeles or London. For example, the immense outdoor set for "From Hell," which represents several 19th century London blocks, including skidrow and upper-class districts,

was paved with real cobblestones rented by the truckload from the Prague city government. The set cost about onefourth what it would have in Los Angeles, director Albert Hughes said. Producer Todd Black said the cost of "A Knight's Tale'' will be "in the $40 million range," with local spending in the Czech Republic of about $10 million. With a dollar generally estimated to go three times as far as in Los Angeles, after accounting for hotels, plane tickets and other costs of working abroad , that indicates a savings of about $20 million on the film. "A huge number of films seem to have descended on Prague all at the same time," said Richard Morris, a producer for "Affair of the Necklace," a story he said concerns "a necklace that Marie Antoinette was inveigled into desiring." Barrandov's facilities, lowwage professionals and fabulous, centuries-old locations are the three key factors that attract film producers here. But Prague's reputation as a wonderful place to visit also helps. "There are a lot of countries, particularly in Eastern Europe, that we could go to that are even less expensive than the Czech Republic, but they don't have the training," said Mark Wolper, executive producer for "The Mists of Avalon," about the women in the King Arthur legend . "The other very interesting reason why we come here is because when you tell an actor or an actress or a big director or a big producer that you're going to shoot in Prague, that sounds OK," Wolper added. "If you tell them they're going to shoot in Bucharest (or) Warsaw, it doesn't sound as romantic as Prague. "

are important and ring true on the front lines during the age of overworked parents, and students who spend more time on the Internet than talking about benevolence and patience at family meals. It's also a welcome addition for some students in high school, traditionally not the most warm and fuzzy of places . "I'm half Middle Eastern, but I also listen to American industrial hard rock," Hafiz said. "I want people to accept me, even though some people think I'm kind of weird. I think these lessons are really good for us." Nationally, about 20 percent of schools incorporate some aspect of social and

emotional intelligence into their lessons, said Maurice Elias, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University and a member of the Collaborative to Advance Social and Emotional Learning. Elias's organization, which came together in response to Daniel Goleman's 1995 book, "Emotional Intelligence," posts guidelines on its Web site to show teachers how to integrate emotional intelligence into their lesson plans. Samples include using art and music to learn how to give constructive criticism of another student's work, and using health class to teach tolerance and carin g for those with AIDS or cancer.

PRAGUE, Czech Republic

- As the huge back-lot set at Barrandov Studios was being readied for a jousting tournament in medieval London, Antonin Sach painted the finishing tbuches on bleachers for a crowd of spectators to be played by Czech extras. "I'm interested in the Middle Ages. When I'm working on this, I can feel the history of our ancestors breathing on me," said Sach, 38, a Czech who usually paints house interiors but much prefers this job helping to make Columbia Pictures' "A Knight's Tale," starring Heath Ledger and Mark Addy. Sach earns less than $3 an hour - less than one-tenth the wage of a union painter in Hollywood, but more than he makes painting houses. Working on films "is an adventu re," he added, so he's satisfied with his pay even though he knows a professional painter in Los Angeles would earn much more. People like Sach - along with wardrobe experts, set construction specialists, cam era operators, other freelancers of all types and a handful of entrepreneurs pulling it all together - are making the Czech Republic an increasingly potent player in the quickly globalizing film industry. "Prague has turned into Hollywoop East because there's an opportunity to make your money stretch a long way," said Amy Robinson, an executive producer of "From Hell," a Jack the Ripper tale starring Johnny Depp and directed by brothers Albert and Allen Hughes for 20th Century Fox. • In addition to "A Knight's Tale" and "From Hell " other U.S. films being shot fn the

USU volleyball doing its part, digging for donations for breast cancer \ SHEREEN SAUREY

SeniorSports Writer October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, co-sponsored by the American Cancer Society. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month began 15 years ago as .aweeklong effort to teach the public that early detection saves lives. The month of October is dedicated to increasing awareness of breast cancer issues. According to the ~erican Cancer

Society, 182,800 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and 40,800 of those diagnosed will die. Since 1990, the death rates in breastcancer victims ages 20 to 69 have decreased by 25 percent. The American Cancer Society credits the progress to early detection and advances in technology. The Utah State women's volleyball team is doing its part to celebrate the survivors and remember the victims of breast cancer. Donations are made for

each dig at home matches. Aggies contact family, friends and local businesses to pledge an amount per dig. "The donaters pledge anywhere from a penny, a quarter or a dollar for each dig," said assistant coach Shay Goulding-Clemensen . "Others will donate a flat rate." The total digs during October are multiplied by the amount pledged. Half the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society, the other half is put toward the volleyball program.

l '

The program began three years ago under the direction of former head coach Ginny Alexander and has continued with the help of assistant coaches Goulding-Clemensen and Grayson DuBose. "We thought it was a good idea and a great way for our girls to be involved in the community," DuBose said. The team has received positive feedback from Cache Valley citizens. "Last year, a man told the team that his wife had died of breast cancer and

. mat Ihe'd never been ,to a.i,volleyball tnatch before, but after hearing about our donations, he was going to start coming," DuBose said. "So that was really cool." In addition to making donations to the American Cancer Society, the volleyball team also works with the Utah State Women's Center. Last year during the month of October, the team planted tulips on the Quad as part of a service project in association with the Women's Center. 1

BOuncedout Aggies cope with se_ason..ending football injuries REUBEN WADSWORTH

AssistantSportsEditor AminifuJohnson was going to be Utah State football team's starter at strong safety before the season began and stayed in Logan all summer to train for the upcoming year. However, he saw it taken away in seconds when he made a block and heard his knee pop during special teams practice Aug. 29. That pop was the sound of an MCL tear, cartilage damage and a torn meniscus. Johnson, from La Mesa, Calif., has been forced to redshirt this season. Linebacker Tony Newson finds himself in a similar situation, sitting out this season with a shoulder injury from last year that didn't heal properly. The news he

would miss a season was a blow. , "It was almost like a death," Newson said. "I felt lost." Newson, a Las Vegas, Nev., native, was injured in overtime against Brigham Young Universi ty• in Romney Stadium last season . By the overtime period he said he was worn down and on one· of the last big hits he took in the game, he felt a burn. After any big hit or "nice pop" after that, the pain came back, he said. Despite the injury, however, Newson was still selected to the All-Big West Conference second team. The injury was especially hard for Newson because ever since he became an Aggie he had been planning on graduating with thre e fellow seniors on the USU linebacking corps - Brent Passey, Blake Eagal and Cade Smith.

Newson is redshirting this year and will play next i,eason without his long-time friends. Newson s11idhe thinks he has too much time on his hands without football in his everyday life. However, the injury has allowed him to complete most of his upper-division classes for graduation . After switching from a business major to broadcasting, he will graduate next fall. Johnson, like Newson, said his injury has helped him srudy more. The injury has in some ways been a blessing in disguise and the "down time" he now has felt good, he said.

Like its women counterpart, the USU men's volleyball club is primed for a break-out season after a solid 1999-2000 campaign. Despite the loss of outside hitter Nate Aughley, the ~gies are confident they can IIllprove on last year's success . {}SU finished fourth out of 14 ¥'earns at the regional tourna ment, followed by a ninthplace finish at nationals. The Aggies are returning nine players from last year's "A" team. "Returning the guys that we are returning, I can't imagine us finishing any worse than last year," said team captain and acting coach Greg Jorgensen. USU is a member of the Mountain States Conference, comprised of teams from all around the Intermountain West. Utah Valley State College and the University of Arizona will be the Aggies' toughest competition, Jorgensen said. Although the Aggies lack the height some teams have, player Todd McArthur said the

- - -- ·- ·- - , -· - -· - - -. team is mentally tough and plays well as a unit. "Our players aren't the biggest; we don jt have the biggest hitters," McArthur said. "But we are mentally sound." Teammate David Johnston said the key to Aggie success is solid passing. Inconsistent passing, he said, was one of the team 's biggest weaknesses last year and a major emphasis in practice this year. ''When we don't pass (well), we don't run a good offense," Johnston said. "If you don't run a good offense, you get beat ." "As long as we make good passes, nobody is going to stop us," Jorgensen said. Among the biggest reasons for excitement, Jorgensen said, is the way the team members has showed solid chemistry and a knowledge of what each other brings to the table. Johnston said he hopes the team will start where it left off last year. The Aggies showed consistent improvement from the beginning to the end of last year, he said. Games will be played under

The Utah State hockey club will go up against Weber State University Thursday night at 8:45 p.m. at the Ice Sheet in Ogden in what is the first of four Thursday games this season. USU forward Ian Tracy said it is unfortunate to hold games on Thursday because work or early classes Friday can keep fans from attending. Tracy himself might not be able to make it to some Thursday games because of his school schedule, he said. Assistant captain Deryk Anderson said Thursday games will be hard for fans and also difficult for the team. The team practices late Wednesday night at the Ice Sheet and does not get back in Logan until 1:30 a.m., he said. Team members won't get a lot

of rest before the game against the Wildcats. Players' studies might also suffer from Thursday games. Anderson has two tests the Friday morning after the Weber game and said he'll be hard pressed to find any time to study. The Wildcats should be tough opponents, Tracy said, because they didn't lose many players from last year's squad that lost to the Aggies in the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Association championship game. Anderson said the Aggies won't know how good Weber truly is until they play each other. Weber has already defeated the University of Southern California, the team that gave the Aggies their first loss opening the season. However, the Wildcats have already lost to the University of Utah, 9-5, this season.

"Utah is the team to beat this year," Anderson said. Tracy said the games against Weber and Utah this weekend will wear the team down - possibly making the game Saturday against the Provo Icecats (Brigham Young University), usually perennial patsies, closer than it should be. The team, now 0-2-1 on the year, should still compete well and be able to beat both Weber and Utah, Tracy said. Anderson said he thinks if the team plays tight defense, it should come out on top . "Defense first" will be the strategy for the rest of the season to come, he said. USU heads into the WSU game coming off a weekend in Tempe, Ariz., where the team suffered a 9-2 loss to Arizona State University on Friday night, but rebounded to tie the Sun Devils 3-3 on

Saturday. Tracy said the team was fatigued after a long travel day and didn't play as well as it could have on Friday, but came back to make a good showing on Saturday in the tie against the Division I Sun Devils. USU was up 2-1 in the first period in the loss on Friday, but let ASU tie the score at 22 going into the second. In that period, the Sun Devils exploded for five goals before scoring another two goals in the third. Rest before the Saturday game helped the Aggies, Anderson said. USU played aggressive defense during that game and waited for goQ~ opportunities on offense, ,he said. In addition, the play of goaltender Quincy Martin was a bonus in the tie. "He made some spectacular saves," Anderson said.

Staff Writer The USU men's lacrosse club fared well this past weekend in Boise, Idaho taking second pface at the Gem State Invitational. The Aggies won their opening game 10-8 vs. Weber State University, and beat Boise State University, 8-7. They also defeated the University of Washington, but lost to Montana State University, 11-4, which placed them in second in a pointbased tournament. "None of the teams up there expected us to come out and play the way we did," said midfielder David Chamber. The team demonstrated that confidence and enthusiasm can determine the outcome of the tournament, he said. The Aggies ended the tournament with a 3-1 record. However, Montana State University narrowly edged out the Aggies based on points alone. The Cougars lwere unable to provide their own goalie, so technically USU came out victorious.

Many of the first-year players stepped it up to give the team the extra confidence it needed to reach the finals, said attack man Paul Larkin . "We're enjoying ourselves out there," Larkin said. "A lot

of the first-year players are playing like they've been playing for a while." The Aggies continue to gear up for the regular season that will start in the next few months .

Aggies finally claimed victory with a kill by senior outside hitter Amy Crosbie. The fourthand final game was a rally of side-outs, which the Aggies stole, 15-10. The Aggies recorded a .181 hitting percentage for the match, compared to Utah's .139 hitting percentage. The Aggies out-blocked and out-killed the Utes . USU had 13 team blocks to Utah's 10. Peterson said good blocking is essential to winning a match. ''You have to be big on defense," he said. "Defense wins matches, especially in women's volleyball."

In addition to Currier's breakthrough match, junior setter Chelsi Neves led the team with a .429 hitting percentage. "Chelsi is getting to be one of the best setters in the country," Peterson said. Peterson and the players thanked the crowd fur its support. "The fans make us win at home," he said. "They were maybe the biggest reason we were able to come back. Thank you, fans."

job to Dennehy on Oct. 29, when Dennehy still coached at Montana, while "fraudulently and with malice (assuring Arslanian) that he was not in jeopardy" of being fired. Pugmire refused comment on the lawsuit. When Dennehy was introduced as the new coach at a news conference in December, Pugmire said he had contacted and interviewed the coach a few days earlier. Emert's purpose, according to the lawsuit, was "destroying (Arslanian's) career as a head football coach." The president, who resigned last May, "has a long history of treating subordinate employees in the (same) manner," it says. Simper denies the allegations and said Arslanian's termination followed the former coach's contract. "Coaches are at will, and contractual employees at best, so we don't have to identify particular causes," Simper said. He added that the coach had problems making the team a success.

Arslanian, who was head coach at Weber State for nine years, hasn't found another job, the lawsuit says, because of "damage to (Arslanian's) reputation." He and seven assistant coaches were fired after compiling a 7-1 S record in two seasons at Utah State. Paul Arslanian is now an assistant at San Jose State. The lawsuit names as defendants the university, Emert, vice president for administrative affairs Fred Hunsaker, Pugmire and the Regents. Dave Arslanian waited until now to file the lawsuit because he had been trying to settle the matter out of court. "We did everything we could to say, 'Just honor the contract,"' said attorney Jim Arslanian, the coach's brother and a member of his legal team. "They have taken the position that they are honoring the contract, but they have canceled Dave's benefits, his health insurance, his car allowance and some salary he is owed."

Vikings undefeated, but not afraid to tinker MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings are undefeated, and still unafraid to tinker. The biggest switch by the Vikings (SO) in a 30-23 victory over Tampa Bay on M;onday night was moving John Randle from defensive tackle to end. "We decided to make the move last week, deciding maybe we could get a

better group on the field at one time," Vikings coach Dennis Green said Tuesday. "He's a tremendous trooper, always willing to do what it takes to help the ballclub win." By playing Randle at end, Tony Williams and rookie Chris Hovan were able to start together at the tackles. Green crediteo the move for stopping

the Bucs on many key third downs and holding Tampa Bay to only 63 yards rushing. "We mi~ht continue to do that and we might not, ' Green said. "(Opponents' uncertainty about) whether Johnny Randle is going play inside or outside is a tremendous advantage to us. We will keep that to ourselves."

Newson said watching Passey from the sidelines this season has helped him with his game. It is assisting him in learning his new role for next season.

to feel his wrath. When he comes back from the injury, he said he thinks he will be more aggressive, stronger and faster. Newson's shoulder ailment has taught him never to take anything for granted. If the nerve in his shoulder hadn't healed correctly, he would have never been able to play again, he said. _ Through his injury, Johnson said he has learned who his real friends are. It doesn't scare either Newson or Johnson to go back out on the field. "If you think about it, that's when you get hurt," he said. "You've got to go full speed -

Johnson said he thinks that if everything goes as planned he'll come back from his six months of recovery at 110 percent and become the leader he should have been this year. Both Johnson and Newson think any player who is injured should keep a positive outlook. Players shouldn't be discouraged, because it all happens for a reason,Johnson said. One of Newson's mottos since the injury is "no loafs no taking plays off," he said. "Think about what you can do and do it twice as hard."

Stop, be educated before coming to conclusions

What You Say, What They Hear way, Julie, I really like your sofa. What girl hears: He thinks I'm fat. What guy says: Julie, is there anything I can do for you? What girl hears: He thinks I can't live without him . Well, I'll show him. What girl responds: I hate you, Bill. Get out of my apartment and my life. Jerk! What guy says: But, Julie, what did I do? What girl hears: Oh, so he thinks I'm stupid as well as fat. That does it. Most likely what the girl says next would not be allowed in this article for reasons of taste, so I will not include it and save my editor the trouble of taking it out (however, you can be sure that this choice language would be accompanied by lots of tears and thrown objects ranging from an old picture of Bill to a Ford Buick). This is just the first example. Second: What girl says: Dearest, Bill, do you love me? What guy hears: She wants me over for dinner. Score. (Everything said by Julie from this point on will not be heard by Bill because guys have onetrack minds, and his is occu pied with food.) What girl says: Dearest Bill, your silence bothers me, why don't you answer? What guy hears: She probably wants to make out, too. What girl says: (With mounting aggression) Bill, if you don't answer soon, then

we're through. What guy hears: I hope we have spaghetti. I haven't had spaghetti forever, and its so good. What girl says: That's it, get out. I can't believe I ever liked you. Jerk! What guy says as he is thrown out the door : So, I'll call you tomorrow about dinner, OK? Most likely, Bill will in fact show up the next night for dinner wearing a bib with a big lobster on it. Most likely , Bill will leave with this same bib stuffed in his mouth . Ah, the tragic occurrences of young love . Now for a few solutions. First: Cease attempting to have both sexes speak English. Instead, have males speak Yiddish and females speak Arabic. Trust me, this will help conversations make more sense than they do now. Second solution: Go back to the language of Tarzan. I mean, what could be simpler than "Me Tarzan, you Jane." My final solution: Cease speaking altogether. The negative effects of this arrangement don't even compare with the positive ones. If you don't like any of the above solutions, I suggest joining a monastery . It's the only truly humane and sensible thing to do. Until then, tell Julie I think she's hot.

and since God can do this, why shouldn't a woman be able to. As stupid as it is to be calling God a murderer, your attempts to validate yourself are even more ridiculous. I guess Rich is trying to say that we should all look to other peoples actions to excuse our own. After all, living by a moral code is just so restrictive. I would hate to see what Rich plans on doing if his kids are disobedient. After all, God killed people who didn 't listen to him. The problem ,with society now . days is that there is a lack of responsibility, and people like Mr . Timothy feel that it is an adequate trade-off between a human life and not having to take responsibility for your actions.

For the longest time this difference bothered me, but through years of costly research (spent mostly on dates that I used to "research" the opposite sex) I have discovered a foolproof reason why men and women are so different: They can't talk to each other for more than five milliseconds with an understanding that is a standiJrd attribute of every other living thing up to and including an amoeba. This, most certainly, is a large prob lem right here at Utah State University, therefore, I am going to tell all of you confused students out there how to come to equal levels with any member of the opposite gender.

Last month the Netherlands passed a law that legalized gay marriage. In December Vermont passed a similar law that gives samesex couples equal protections, benefits and responsibilities as married heterosexual couples. These rights and responsibilities are packaged in a new kind of marital status, known as "civil unions." Same-sex civil unions mirror heterosexual marriage in many ways, and although the issue of same-sex marriage is something of concern throughout the United States, it is something that people should take the time to think about before they pass judgment. Today is National Coming Out Day, a day when gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered people celebrate living in a day and age when it is safer for them to be open about who they are. It is also a day and age when it is

important for people to remember that behind the issues lie real people and that, regardless of one's position on the issues, everyone needs to take a minute and realize that what they say or do could hurt someone else. There are not any hard-and-fast pros and cons for homosexual marriage since the controversy surrounding the issue deals with social, moral and political standards. Some Americans are strongly opposed to the idea of men marrying men and women marrying women, while other Americans support the issue wholeheartedly. For each side, it is a moral issue, whether that morality means preserving traditional definitions of family or showing love and acceptance by extending rights to a larger population. The issue of same-sex marriage and the controversy that revolves

around it will not go away. Some states and countries are trying to legalize it, whereas others are trying to prevent it from happening. Before making a rash decision about the moral and social implications of same-sex marriages, people should take a step back and consider what their pros and cons of homosexual unions could be and remember the real people with real feelings who are involved. People, in general, make broad general i zations about same-sex marriages - and samesex issues in general without knowing all of the facts. It is important that the public understands the issue before passing judgment. Taking time to understand any issue1 whether it be tuition increases, gay marriage or parking concerns 1 is a critical part of deciding what the effect of an issue on a particular community can be.

to the Editor

Miscarriages, abortions different Dear Editor, This letter is written in response to the asinine column written by Mr . Rich Timothy. For starters, Mr. Timothy must have his head up his rear to come up with "The Way I See It." In his col umn, which praises the legalization of the abortion pill, he tries to draw comparisons between a miscarriage and an abortion, as well as trying to make a point that a woman has a right to ki 11her baby since the Bible gives accounts that God has destroyed people. ~ · I would enjoy watching Rich tell a mother who had a miscarriage that it is the same as an abortion. I' m sure that would go over real well. There is absolutely no logical comparison betw een abortion and a miscarriage, except for the fact that th ere is a death . In one case the mother willingly chooses to have her baby' s life ended, in the other there is no choice . Richard points out that the Bible co ntains accounts of God "murdering" his children,

Nobody has the right to kill a child Dear Editor,

Practice what you preach Dear Editor, After reading a full-page insert on USU Parking, I made a tour of IEarking areas that are availab e. I park on the East side of campus and have purchased a permit for

As a woman I found Richard Timothy's column on abortion so disturbing, I felt I had to respond. Timothy states that abortion is the woman's choice and anyone with a differing opinion should keep their mouth shut. My question is this: How can a woman be truly free to choose if only one option is made known and all others are kept silent? Timothy then cites the story

of Noah and the ark to support his claims. He accuses God of "giving us the idea [to kill) ." Apparently, he is not familiar with the story where Satan puts it into the heart of Cain to kill his brother. That is how murder came into the world. Timothy argues that women have the right to kill their chi Idren because when the Earth was flooded , God killed his children. Besides completely missing the point of the story, (by destroying the wicked, future generations were more lik ely to be born to righteous families) Timothy makes a sickening declaration : "Women ... have the exact same right to make that same choice [to kill their children]." Does he realize the implica tions of that statement? Does he mean a mother can ki II her son or daughter at any time just because she chooses to? No person on this Earth has that "right." Timothy is also misled in believing miscarriage is the same as abortion. A woman who undergoes an abortion, except when her life is at risk, shows she is willing to go to great len~hs to get rid of her child. W y should she receive the same comfort as someone who loved her child yet could not have it? Abortion is wrong. Those who view this opinion as con -

come to teach their own kids. However, this education must be comparable to that of their JackieBosshardt kids' peers to avoid misunderstanding. Not all, but many parents are uncomfortable with the discussion of sex, particularly with their own children. Why not let a qua Iified prof essional do so?

servative are absolutely right. It is conserving life .

Leave sexed to the pros Dear Editor,

Valerie Were In response to Mr . Rick Fielding's letter, I would first like to clarify that proponents of sex education are not advoeating that schools teach kids how to have sex. Currently, Utah schools teach two things: abstinence and fidelity after marriage. While both are fine principles, there is a lot more to sex, Part of teaching kids about their bodies is to have them understand the consequences of the choices they could make in response to their "hormone-ravaged" bodies. This involves teaching about issues such as STDs. A lesson in STDs would be incomplete without talkin~ about contraception, whic also ties into unwanted pregnancies, a very important issue in Utah where teenage pre~nancy rates are high. What ids need to learn are the facts. What they choose to do with this information is up to them. Parents are, of course, more than wel -

Christianity • IS not the root of evil Dear Editor, I would like to congratulate the opinion page on tfie excellent job they are doing. It seems that they have great columnists, like Richard Timothy , who consistently find controversial subjects and write in a manor to offend most of the peof'e in this school with hal a brain , while at the same time rationalizing unethical actions by blaming the problem on everyone but themselves. I found this especially true with the article of Mr. Timothy 's entitled, "Finally, abortion pill legalized." Interestingly enough, only onethird of the article involved

From Page 12 hand, so .resorted to defami ng1me. My third column will furtfier detail this strategy of the 1Democrats and analyze why Democrats have to use this strategy to win elections . Al Gore is trying to take over Slick Willy's title of being the Chief Executive of Lies. Al Gore has had a terrible time telling the truth lately. Let me share with you a few examples. Gore said: At the debate he said, "I accompanied James Lee Witt down to Texas when those fires broke out [in Parker County) ." The truth: Gore simply lied . He did not go with Witt to the fires. Gore admitted to lying on ABC's "Good Morning America ." He said, "If James Lee was there before or after, then, you know , I got that wrong then." Gore said: At the debate he said, "I'd like to tell you a qui ~k story ... His name is r Randy ~llis, he has a 15year-old daughter named Kailey, who's in Sarasota Hi gh School. Her science cl ass was supposed to be for 24 students. She is the 36th student in that classroom . He

The truth: Gore is a a memory from his liar. On March 12 The New youth was written when York Times interviewed Al Gore was 27.

The Republicans have been honest and to this day have not bought one ad with soft money for Bush. Does it surprise you that Al Gore is a confessed liar? It shouldn't. H is boss, Bill Clinton, is also a confessed liar . The question that keeps coming to my mind is that if the Democrats are confessed liars, then what else are they doing that is immoral. Sleeping with interns? Yes. Selling nuclear secrets to the Chinese? Yes. For those of you who are Democrats, please be at least intellectually honest to yourselves and admit that your party is corrupt. For those of you who are Democrats and Republicans , please go to the ballot box and vote Republican on Nov. 7. Lets get the liars out of offic e.

Negotiations at the WTO's Geneva headquarters, however, recently stalled after three weeks of discussions in which the Chinese negotiators appeared to be backpedaling on agreements made with the United States or other nations. ''We remain engaged with the Chinese about implementing PNTR. There are some very important issues we have to address," White House press secretary Jake Siewert said Tuesday. U.S. Trade Representative Charlene "Barshefsky has been in touch with them and we will continue to talk about the importance of implementing this agreement in a way that actually makes it work, and so the Chinese government not only lives up to the spirit of the agreement, but to the letter of the agreement."
