A synthetic aperture radar (SAR) makes maps of surfaces that can't be seen with the eye. NASA used a SAR to map the surface of Venus, previously unseen because of the planet's cloud cover. The SAR attached to the students' plane will be used in much the same way, but on a smaller scale. Instead of mapping planets, it will_potentially map oelow the surface of farmers' fields, archaeological sites and geological phenomena like landslides, said Doug Thomsond, a doctorate student in electrical engineering at BYU.

Fluorideconcernsplants,not just humanbeings SHARALYN IIARlWELL

Staff Writer

Fluoride is one of the most harmful toxins to plants, and its effects should be examined, said Former Utah State University Dean of Science Gene Miller, at a public forum Thursday night at the Eccles Conference Center. 'We have to look at fluoride in the soil, water and air," Miller said. When fluoride is present in all these elements, all organisms are affected, he said.

>WEATIIER

Miller said there is about two-tenths part per billion (ppb) of fluoride in the air in Logan. If that level reaches one ppb, some plants could be adversely affected, Miller said. Fluoride exists in many forms, and the harmful nature of fluoride is contingent upon the type of fluroide it is. Fluoride in the air is hydrogen fluoride, a form of fluoride that is "readily taken up by plants and kept regulated," Miller said. Plants can accumulate materials through their leaves and through their roots with the uptake of water, Miller

said. Because of this, plants get fluoride from the air . The fluoride that would be added to the water, if commmunity water fluoridation becomes a reality, will come from industrious plants. Fluoride concentrated in the stocks of the plants will end up in the water instead of being released into the air as it would have been before, he said. In soil, most of the fluoride present is not available, Miller said, because it is "tied up with calcium." Because the fluoride is bound tightly in the soil, the amounts in soil do not really affect

plants, Miller said. Miller said sprinkle irrigation is more of a concern to him than fluoride in the soil. When water is sprinkled on plants, the fluoride will enter directly into the plant. Most of the fluoride is accumulated in the leaf of the plant. The amount of fluoride in the plant can be decreased by about SOpercent, he said, by washing the leaves of the plants "If you're putting [fluoride] into the >SEE

Native Americans have contributed much more to American culture than they are given credit for, Alvin Whitehair told students Thursday night in the Eccles Conference Center. Whitehair, who is a graduate student in the College of Natural Resources, said that the government established by the Founding Fathers was based upon the League of the Five Nations, a representative form of government among Iroquois tribes. "The five civilized tribes showed settlers how a democracy would work," he said. "The five tribes helped establish the Constitution and Declaration of Independence because they already had one." These claims were elaborated upon in a video 'More Than Bows and Arrows." According to the film, Benjamin Franklin visited with Iroquois chiefs as he was making the Albany Plan, an early atte1:Dptat forming a colonial government. Navajos were the key to victory in the Pacific Theater during World War II, Whitehair said. The code they developed helped defeat the Japanese. The Navajo language is largely visual, he

said. "How can you break a code that's visual'" he said. "If it hadn't been for Navajo code talkers, this would be a Japanese society," Whitehair said. "The war was happening so fast, and the Japanese won the early battles because Japanese were breaking all the codes. When Navajo code talking started, the U.S. began winning again." Other contributions include Pueblo architecture, canoes and kayaks, and much of the food we eat today. Whitehead said that 50 to 60 percent of the food of the world today came from Native American cultures, including potatoes, corn, tomatoes, and chili.

rJ COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - Sunwest Tel~communications said a temporary restraining order it has won agamst Qwest Communications International will allow it to serye customers better. The restraining order granted Wednesday by District Jud ge Rebecca Bromley is part of a lawsuit by Sunwest that accuses Denver-based Qwest of breach of contract. Sunwest is seeking $1.65 million it says it is owed under its agreement with Qwest , formerly U S West, to provide service to Sunwest's customers. The Colorado Springs-based company claims it hasn't been able to add customers or accommodate current ones. Qwest spokesman Bill Myers said while the court ordered Qwest to process new orders for new Sunwest customers, it also told Sunwest it must pay half of the monthly _c~arges for new service.

From providing degrees, to organizing youth programs, to planning family reunions, Utah State University Extension works with the people of Utah to make lives better. As the state's land-grant university, USU's mission is to make education available to people who can't travel to a university or college. Extension offices in every Utah county, along with branch campuses in cities throughout the state, offer USU programs, including degree programs worth the same credit as their on-campus counterparts, to thousands, many of whom have no other access to adult education. There is no question the extension program is one of the most important functions of a land-grand institution, Sleight said. In the mid-1800s, Notre Dame, Harvard and the other few colleges and universities in the United States at the time were beyond the means of a better portion of the population - 80 percent of Americans farmed for a living. Only the wealthy few could afford to be educated. In 1857, Congress signed the Morril Land-Grant College Act, providing states with grants of public lands to establish colleges for the general population, teaching subjects related to "agriculture and mechanic arts." Colleges were established in every state, but weren't well attended because people were still farmers, and farmers still couldn't leave the fields to go to school. In 1914, the extension program was created to make education available to everybody. Since then, USU and other land-grant colleges have servea each state by researching subjects of specific interest to the people and sending out the education to help them better their lives, Sleight said. In every county in Utah, a USU Extension Office keeps a

In addition to the office space, the new building provides a better parking situation and handicap accessibility. The lack of accessibility was a major issue in the Communicative Disorders building. One of the reasons Parking Services and the police moved to the new location was to satisfy the vision of the Campus Master Plan, said Brent Windley, architect of Campus Planning and Engineering. The plan lacks specific detail as to which services will be located where, but Windley said the plan shows public safety administration facilities in that area. Police can still be reached for non-emergencies at 797-1939. The number for Parking and Transportation Services is 797-341'4.

From Page 1

From Page 1 soil, I don't think there is going to be much of a change," Miller said. "If you sprinkle a gard.en, there will be more." In most vegetation, the normal level of fluoride is 1 to 15 parts per million (ppm~ but it can range as high as 400 ppm in plants such as tea. Thirty-four enzymes in plants are affected by fluoride. Germillation of the seed is also affected by the flouride level, he said. Once the fluoride gets inside the cell of the plant, 100 to 200 parts in certain plants will be harmfully effected, Miller said. If animals eat plants that contain high amounts of fluoride, it "would be detrimen-

tal to them," he said . As vegetation is negatively affected by fluoride, it could cause a negative effect on herbivores, Miller said. When fluoride is consumed by animals, about 50 percent of it is excreted out of the body by the kidneys in the form of urine, Miller said. Nearly all of the remaining 50 percent goes into the skeleton. "If you accumulate 30 ppm, you are going to have problems with the bones of the animal," Miller said. The fluoride a cow consumes doesn't go to the milk, it usually compounds in the skeletal system. " Only a minimul amount of the fluoride consumed goes

to the soft tissues, he said. Miller said there are ways to have fluoride provided for those who want it without affecting the environment. Humans should look, "not just at the a.mount of fluoride we are drinking, but at the total amount of fluoride we are getting," Miller said. "As you get older, the amount of fluoride in your body grows," Miller said. In Miller's 30 years of work, he has written 60 publications on fluoride. He came to USU in 19 57 to research fluoride because of problems in Utah County when U.S. Steel was using coal high in fluoride and much of this fluoride was released into the air.

'the city, however, is gomg to make llll the booting legalities final at a city council meeting Wednesday Council members will make the final amendments to the ordinance and will allow Logan residents to raise concerns before the issue is voted on, according to a pr~ release from Slade Gurr, ASUSU haJSOnto Logan City. The current ordinance requires parking areas to "post a conspicuous sign on or immediately adjacent to the property ...[and] the maximum 'allthorized fee for booting a vehicle shall be $40, " according to the press release. At the last meeting, council members made reference to changing the ordinance to a percentag~ of what the state limits towmg comparues to charge. This would allow the ordinance to change over time, ·rather than amending it every other year. According to Gurr's _!J!"lease,the estimated fee would 1!.fM between $50 and $60. - In addition, the issue has been discussed by two separate committees . One of these meetings was lead by Logan City Police Chief Richard W Hendricks. According to the release, Hendricks said it is not the government's job to require the booting companies to take more than one form of payment . He said the marketplace would regulate such issues as more companies get involved. In the past, students have attended meetings to voice their opinions. Associated Students of Utah State University, however, asks that students contact Gurr at sltrk@cc.usu .edu.

constant flow of communication and education open be~ee1;1 the people and the uruvers1ty. USU Extension is especially interested in providing people who leave college witnout degrees the chance to finish their education. People whose days are occupied by work or children can, through continued education, reach their goals without disrupting their lives. "Whatever happens, don't quit," said Weldon Sleight, dean of Extension Services for Utah State University. "Finish, for the sake of the next generation. " Continued education is available to students through night school and classes taught at USU educational centers throughout the state. Cooperative education, including youth programs like 4-H, is offered through extension offices in every county in the state, where extension agents work to make USU a resource for the community. Most offices offer adult education, including workshops and classes. The Cache County Extension Office doesn't offer as many adult education programs as those in rural areas, who have no other source for adult education, said Jean Alder, an extension agent with the County Extension Office. Youth and families are its primary concern, she said. Anything from family reunions to teen leadership conferences can be arranged by Extension's conferencing division, said Kevin Kesler, assistant director of extension administration at USU . Anyone can use the division to plan an event. The program's staff specializes in arranging food, lodging, registration needs, speakers and accommodations for all sizes and all types of group meetings. Registration fees are required because the program, tnough an official part of extension services, is self-supporting. More information about extension services is available at 797-2200, or in the Extension Office in the basement of the Ellen Eccles Conference Center.

Dormmates, those who watched over the students at night, frequently used physical punishments - sometimes making them stand in rows naked to be beat with paddles. Many students tried to run away. On one occasion Whitehair and a friend left the school after three weeks of planning . 'We ran for about 5 miles and hitchhiked the rest of the way home," he said. His father sent him back to school on Sunday . Whitehair said the country was "really populated when Europeans came." Most were killed by diseases like smallpox and measles that attacked the lungs . "Death by sickness was in the 80 millions," he said.

The victor in the game between Utah State and the University North Texas Saturday in Denton, Texas, will record its first Division 1A win of the season.

The Utah State women's soccer team is looking to set aside Friday the 13th superstitions as the team takes on California State University at Fullerton today at 3 p.m. at Tower Field. The Aggies will host UC Irvine on Sunday at noon. C:oming off a IO-day rest and after a 2-1 loss to Weber State University, the Aggies are looking to move their Big West Conference record to 3-0 over the weekend. The next six games are all BWC games, four of which will be at home. "We knew from the beginning that we had an ideal conference schedule. We need to take advantage of that," said head coach Stacey Enos. The team already has a lot of confi-

dence about their BWC record. "We are the only team in conference not to have lost a game," Enos said. CSUF is currently ranked third in the conference at 2-2 and is 6-8 on the season. The Titans split last weekend's games, losing to Idaho in overtime, 2-1, and shutting out Boise State, 2-0. The Titans lead 1-3 all-time against the Aggies. USU won the meeting between the two teams last season, 2-1. UC Irvine is the top-ranked team in the Big West Conference with an 8-3-2 overall record and 3-1 in conference play. The Anteaters are in the middle of a threegame winning streak with two shutouts over Boise State, a conference opponent, and a win against Idaho. The Aggies are 0-4 all-time against the Anteaters. "vVeneed to be on against Irvine,"

Enos said. "It would be great to knock them off." In USU's last game, senior Marnie Bartelson scored the only goal of the game for the Aggies, pulling the team within one point of the Wildcats. This wa~Bartelson's fourth goal of the season and the 11th of her career. She is tied for fifth in the conference in goals for the season. Bartelson is ranked seventh in the BWC among individual scores, averaging .90 points per game. Following Bartelson, freshman Ally Clegg is tied for eighth among individual scores with an average of .80 points per game. Clegg is also fourth in the conference for assists, with four. "This weekend is huge for us," Enos said. "If we win, our confidence will take off."

Mitch Zundel may be fast, but he wasn't fast enough to catch the bus to the USU cross country team's first meet this season. Because he was late he missed the Idaho State Invitational. "He has been repentant and has been leading the way ever since," said head coach Gregg Gensel. Zundel has been a huge asset to the USU men's cross country team this year. As team captain, he has led the team individual:y in two of the three meets he has competed in this season. "He has been leading the team both off and on the course,» Gensel said. "He is very persistent and follows through. If you ask him to do something, he'll do it." Zundel started running cross country as a freshman in high school. He is the only member of his family who runs and got his start in elementary school, where he sprinted and competed in pentathlons. He decided to come to USU because he has friends here and the team has great coaching and USU is a good school, he said. This is his third year here, but only his second running. He took two years off to serve a mission to Ecuador with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Gensel said that Zundel has been solid and improving this season. "This season's been a huge improvement for me from last year and years before," Zundel said. The men's team has also been improving at every meet this season. They have gone

The Utah State University women's volleyball team will return to Big West Conference action this weekend, hosting Boise State University Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Spectrum. This is the second of a six-match homestand, the longest of the season. The Aggies will also host Idaho State University; the University of California, Irvine; California State University, Fullerton; and the University of Idaho. The Aggies have already faced UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton earlier in the season. USU recorded wins in both those matches. With their victory over the University of Utah on Tuesday, the Aggies swept the state of Utah, having also defeated Brigham Young University and Weber State University this year. This is the first time the Aggies have gone undefeated vs. the state of Utah since 1980. USU's record is currently 13-5 overall, 4-2 in BWC. Despite losing two conference matches last weekend, at No. 18 Long Beach State University and No. 13 University of the Pacific, USU remains ranked No. 25.

"Usually when a team out of the norm [USU] comes into the top 25, and then loses to other ranked schools, the team is ciropp~d from the rankings," said sophomore Rochelle Currier. "It helps to see that we're starting to get national recognition." Head coach Tom Peterson said the team needs to stay consistent in order to remain competitive i~ the conference. "We have to be consistent over time to be a good team," he said. "And we have to be that way for the rest of the season." Currier said the Aggies can win their matches when they are unified. "If we don't play as a team, we don't play well," she said. "When everyone contributes, we play so well." The BSU Broncos are currently 59 on the season and are in last place with a 1-5 in the conference. The only BWC win for the Broncos came in their match against California State University, Fullerton, in four games. As a team, Boise State posts a .167 hitting percentage. The Broncos have lost four straight matches and seven of their last eight. The Aggies are 3- 15 vs. BSU. However, USU swept the season series last year.

"We're really coming together and working together -united." Gensel said Zundel is one of the team leaders because he is willing to take people by the hand and is attentive to people's needs. He has competed in every meet this season except for the Idaho State Invitational. Zundel said what he likes best about runnin~ in college is being around friends. "I have a lot in common with the (team members)," he said. "It's good to be around a good bunch of guys." I Zundel works out every darr! sometimes pulling double workouts in a single day. His favorite workouts are sprinting, and his favorite course is in Portland because it is fun and in the middle of trees, he said. He is an information systems major and will graduate from USU in two years. He still has two more seasons of Aggie cross country to look forward to.

White, a junior from Ogden, had 277 all-purpose yards in a 38-14 loss at Brigham Young last Friday night. The 5-foot-11, 199pound back had 61 yards on 19 carries, as well as one touchdown. White was also the recipient of six passes for 40 yards. If all that wasn't enough, White returned three punts for 52 yards (long of30) and four kickoff returns for 124 yards (long of 54). Because of his outstanding play so far this season, White ranks in the top 10 in seven Big West statistical categories. No. 32 is also among the top 50 in four NCAA categories, including fifth in all-purpose yards and 48th in rushing.

team because she didn't have the skills other kickers did. The university said then-coach Fred Goldsmith cut her more slack than he would have done for a man. "It was obvious she was trying to do something special," Goldsmith testified. "I probably would have been a lot more brutal with a male. I would have said, 'Sorry son, you just don't have it.'" The school's attorney, John Simpson, also said Mercer failed to realize that college football is a big business, with limited scholarships.

Before attending Duke, Mercer was a member of a championship high school team in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. At Duke, she attended practices and kicked a 28-yard field goal that won an intrasquad game, but was cut in 1996. Mercer sued the university, arguing that Duke violated Title IX of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs receiving federal funds. She said she was cut because she is a woman. Duke, however, said that Mercer was dropped from the

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) - A federal jury ruled Thursday that Duke University illegally cut a female place-kicker from the football team solely because of her gender. The jury now must decide whether Heather Sue Mercer should receive damages, with Mercer's lawyers suggesting compensatory damages of $120,000 - the tuition she paid over four years before her 1998 graduation - plus millions in punitive damages.

UNT semor running back J a'Quay Wilburn suffered a sprained SC joint, where the collarbone meets the sternum, in the game against Samford. He rushed for 45 yards on eight carries in the first quarter before suffering the injury late in the period. He is averaging 46.8 rushing yards per game this season and is questionable for the game against the Aggies. Sophomore running back Micheal Hickmon will likely start in his place. Mean Green sophomore starting safety Craig Jones, the team's leading tackler after four games, missed the Samford game because of a dislocated shoulder and is also questionable for Saturday. Sophomore tight end Jeff Muenchow broke his hand against Samford, but will be available for the Utah State game. UNT will showcase its freshman quarterback, Scott Hall. Hall has thrown for 326 yards so far this year,' completing 26 of 52 passes·and one interception. Even with a 1-4 record, U1\TT third -year head coach Darrell Dickey isn't taking the Aggies lightly. "This is a team that can run the football and throw the football extremely well," he said of USU. ''We've got our hands full. Hopefully we can force the turnovers like we did last week. Forcing four turnovers and having none last week was a very big factor." "They have one of the best special teams units we'll face this season," he said. "They are very sound and cover kicks extremely well. We'll have to really improve our play on special teams. They will be just like us, wanting to start the conference season off with 11 win."

different categories and among the top SOin the NCAA in , four different categories. Nationally, White is ranked fifth in all-purpose yards and is one of just three players in the country to have gained 100 yards in each of the four categories that make up all-purpose yards (rushing receiving, punt returns and kickoff returns). "White was on the field the entire game," said BYU coach Lavell Edwards of White's performance last week. The Aggie defense has struggled in the pre-conference season. USU has allowed 500 or more yards of total offense three times this season and opponents have averaged 490 yards of offense. The only other SE:asonin school history the USU defense has allowed as many yards was in 1988. Dennehy's biggest worry going into the game is giving up big plays. "We play well, but at critical junctures when it comes time to have to make plays, we just haven't done it," he said. "In order for us to have a chance to be successful, and in order for us to win games, we have got to make those plays." Dennehy hopes his young <fHense won't tire against the Mean Green. "We have got to become more consistent," he said. "I think we wear down. We don't have anyone else and we have gdt to find ways, as we start ~aring down, to play smarter, P.lay better and continue to pfayas hard." The Aggies must guard themselves against complacency going into the BWC season, Dennehy said. ."As hard as the kids work, I think losing has a tendency to become easier and more acceptable," he said. "I am hoping that with our kids and how we have coached them, we are not going to back off."

"We are going to see a big portion of the country." The Big West Conference will not sponsor football after the 2000 season after 32 years of competition. Utah State was involvedwith the league since 1978 and won or shared five league titles prior to 2000.

Gold medal wrestler Gardner a hit with Utah kids SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Olympic gold medalist Rulon Gardner said having breakfast with Mormon chur~h leaders was inspiring. But soon after 1t, he went right back to inspiring others, meeting with Utah elementary students at the Governor's Mansion. The wrestler told several hundred children Wednesday what it was like to beat Russian Alexander Karelin at the Sydney Olympics. Karelin had ne,,er lost"' an Olympic match and was undefeated in the past 13 years.

Bonneville sixth-grader Sean Swenson chimed in, "He's pretty buff." Gardner and his wife Stacy are both members of The Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The couple say they would like to move to Utah if Gardner could find training partners .-in the Beehive State. "We love Utah. We talked about moving here when we visited in August," Stacy Gardner said. . The couple lives in Colorado Sprmgs where Rulon trains.

"They were going to go _in and o~dain (Karelin) the best wre~tler m t~e ~mverse " Gardner said. I was thmking, no one had scored on him in 10 years so how could I score on him." "Use my example as a boost in your life," Gardner told the kids. . The students said the huge champion

One of the most renowned singers in American History is black vocalist Nat "King" Cole. Behind the velvet voice, however, is the story of a man whose " ...quiet strength and dignity transcended the barriers of segregation, making him a worldwide ambassador for increased tolerance and understanding" according to a recent Ellen Eccles Theater press release. The theater is housing a musical depicting the stoiy_of this American icon in 'Unforgettable: The Nat King Cole Story." Starring Tony nominee Monroe Kent ill as Nat "King" Cole, the musical follows the evolution of Cole's career from his days as a jazz pianist to his international stardom. Cole was cheered as a

headline in Las Vegas, and was the first black American to star in his own TV show. He performed in movies and sang at the White House for President John E Kennedy, and performed at a command performance for the Queen of England." In addition to his phenomenal musical talent, "Unforgettable: The Nat King Cole Story" also focuses on Coles role as an agent of de-segregation in the world of entertainment. When Cole went on tour, he was forced to stay in a hotel seperate from the white tour members said Annette Thompson, public relations coordinator for the Ellen Eccles Theater. Cole said, "Through the medium of my music, I hope to make many new friends and change opinions regarding racial equality. As a full

I was anticipating the release of this movie for a long time. I am a big closet-horror-film fan and was optimistic that this movie would be better than the first two "Urban Legends" films. For the most part, I have always thought sequels to horror films were better because there was more suspense or the cast made it more thrilling. After being in the theater for 20 minutes, I realized that this sequel was just as disappointing as the sequel to "Scream." It was even worse than the first one. The sequel takes place at the Orson Wells Film Center on the Alpine University campus. Are there any mountains? Heck no, so maybe my common sense isn't so common because I did not see why this campus was called that. There was a chance for a film student to win a $15,000 prize in the honor of legendary

predictable plot? One ditzy genius finally realizes that the people dying are all film students from the same film. I had already figured out that particular mystery five scenes earlier. Anyway, for all you moviebuffs who want to know who directed it, it was directed by John Ottman, who also did the music direction. It-stars the likes of]ennifer Morrison, Matthew Davis, Loretta Devine and the now-infamous Joseph Lawrence. The best thing I can say for the movie is the slasher used a fencing mask

instead of some classic Jason mask or the beloved mask from "Scream." The cast worked hard, but you could tell that as a whole they weren't into it. Some of the special effects were OK.

Utah Symphony comes to Logan for Copland music celebration ALISHA TOLMAN

Staff Writer

The professional musicians of the Utah Symphony will perform on campus in the Kent Concert Hall at 7:30 p.m. Oct.

21. Under the direction of Keith Lockhart, the symphony will play an assortment of music by famous American composer Aaron Copland, said Utah Symphony promotions director Katie Sadler. Thjs year is the centennial celebration of Copland's birth in 1900. Sadler said Copland is perhaps best known for his famous composition "Fanfare for the Common Man," which was played countless times during the Olympics. The symphony js giving several concerts celebrating Copland's music, Sadler said. In the Logan concert, the symphony will play two jazz-influenced works: "Musicfor Movies" and "Music for the Theatre," and both sets of "Old American Songs," which stem from American folk music and include such favorites as "Simple Gift" and "I Bought Me a Cat," Sadler said.

"[Copland] was innovative in a lot of ways," said Dean Madsen, Utah State University music composition professor. "He managed to communicate widely enough to gain respect from non-musicians and did it with such flare and consistency, he gained respect from musicians as well. He really is the premier light in American

music." Though the Utah Symphony has 85 full-time members, Saturday's concert will consist of a chamber group, which is a "smaller, more intimate orchestral group," Sadler said. The group may be smaller, but many students at USU are still anxious to see the Utah Symphony. "The music is amazing," said USU music student Julie Crawford. There is a lot to be gained from attending a live performance, Madsen said. Tickets to the Utah Symphony are $3 for students with a USU ID card, $8 for children under 12 and $15 for adults. Tickets are available now at the ticket office in the Taggart Student Center.

"Colescott is apparently quite humorous," Krannich said. "They both seem very personable to talk to." The lecture and workshop are not just for art students. It would be wonhwhile for anyone interested in visual arts or contemporary artists to attend, Krannich said. "At our last lecture, we had people from the philosophy and English departments - we had people come from Weber and the University of Utah. Anyone can come," Krannich said. The lecture will be a unique chance for students to see real artists in action. "You can look at artwork in slides and magazines, but there's such a huge difference

The department of art at Utah State University will be hosting two nationally-known artists for a lecture and workshop open to the public Tuesday and Wednesday. Frances Myers and Warrington Colescott will speak Tuesday in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 150, at 7 p.m. A reception will follow at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, at which students will be free to speak to the guest artists in person. The next day, Wednesday, Myers and Colescott will hold workshops in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 104, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Attendees will be invited to help them in their demonstrations. "I think it's a great opportunity for the students - there will be a chance for students to ask questions, talk to [the artists] at the reception and to actually assist them in the workshops," said director of the Visiting Artists Program Marilyn Krannich. Myers is a professor in the art department at the University of'Wisconsin and has received two National Endowment for the Visual Arts Fellowships. She specializes in print and installation art.

This is painful, but I'm going to do it anyway. It's confession time.

drape, sho-lo, shorty-longback and squirrel pelt. Those are fine names, to be sure, but nothing says class like the word mullet. Take the heavy metal butt-rockers, for example. Bands like Winger, Poison, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Journey and those Napsterdestroying morons Metallica, all used the mullet to offset their inherent disregard for normal male activities. How else can you exelain Poison s proclivity for nabbing all the babes and groupies? These guys wore make-up, 3 gallons of Aqua Net and bright-colored tights. Mayoe I'm oblivious as to what turns women on, but I'm pretty sure it's not dressing just as they do. Poison and their rocker brethren all succeeded because of the mullet. Chicks dig the mullet. As you can tell by the picture above left, I have relinquished my mullet for a shorter, properly-combed head of "mature" hair. While I haven't succumbed to the "98 Degrees/Backstreet Boys/N'Sync" hair fetish of highlighting that which should notbe highlighted, I think the hair I have now

fits my age and status in life (lowly student). It was a sad day when my sho-lo was cut from the back of my head, but man must evolve and flow with the changes life sends forth. In my case, it was trying to convince my girlfriend's mother that I didn't worship the devil and smoke crack. You should have seen her face when I stepped into her house. In the space of an afternoon, I had transformed from Charles Manson into a Latter-day Saint missionary. I literally could hear the angels sing as she touched my hair and smiled. I should have bit her hand off. Now, in my more elderly days, I sit back and remember my mullet. When I hear "She's Only 17" by Winger or "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison, my eyes well up with tears and I • have the sudden inclination to go to Wal-Mart, ICON and the county fair. Sure, I only had my mullet for four years, but who I am today was forged in the fire of that squirrel pelt hairdo I wore with pride. It's who I am. So, come on. Stand up and be counted. Remember the Mullet. Andy Morgan encourages you to check out the We6 sitewww.mulletsgalore.com. It's not for the faint of heart, but is, nonetheless, a little snip of hair nostalgia.

"Tigerland" is a Vietnam War movie that takes place not in Southeast Asia but in a Louisiana Anny boot camp in 1971, and its a filmwith more psychological suspense than action. It is in short atypical, especially for its director Joel Schumacher, whose name is synonymous with swnmer blockbusters and boffo John Grisham adaptations but who moved into a new direction ,with his last picture, "Flawless." . With this taut, spare drama, , ~hich is consistently fresh, s~ngrossing and unpredictable, chumacher has traveled all the ay from "Batman" movies to a ,J>icture consciously made in the 1 rigorous spirit and style of Lars Von Trier's anti-glitz Dogma credo - it has that kind of grit ~d spontaneity. Few big-time Hollywood directors have attempted such a major shifting of gears and done it so success-

fully. Anned with a top-notch script by Ross Klavan - who Jirew upon personal experiences - and Michael McGruther, Schumacher has turned out a filmthat has an exceptionally strong personal feel to it. "Tigerland" launches a screenful of young and talented actors and wins over even those of us who frankly would rather never have to deal with the Vietnam War on the screen again. "\Ve'vemet Colin Farrell's Bozz before, the cocky private who's smart and caring but has a real problem with respecting authority. In the conventional war picture he'd shape up by the last reel and emerge a hero. His rite of passage here is not going to be conventional because Vietnam was not a

"Tigerland" offers a stinging picrure of the Anny chain of command going thlough the motions of barkng Jut commands and toug1enng up new infantrymen in eight weeks of basic training follo~d by a final week in Tigerlind, as close as simulation to Vienamese jungles as possible. 1he difference here, and tt is p·ofound, is that these young met are being ordered to risk their ives to fight a losing war. Sothick you can all but taste it, ths feeling seriously erodes the lp-anddown-line respect tha: any fighting unit needs. \ Most of the youngmen, however, pretty mud keep their feelings to themelves, but Bozz cannot or will mt hide his sense of the absurditymd futility of the dehumanizi.Jgprocess he and the others are '•ndergoing. It's not that Bozz uns off at the mouth all the tine; he knows that a glance hee and a couple of remarks thee is all that it takes in these ri?d con-

ditions to express an attitude of defiance at the risk of severe consequences. Not surprisingly, Bozz enrages all of those in positions of command, and becomes a hero to others. The brutally realistic and shrewd Capt. Saunders (Nick Searcy) loathes Bozz because he recognizes that he is a born leader who refuses to take responsibility or accept authority. Bozz becomes the inevitable target of the psychopathic Wilson (Shea "\Vhigham, whom you love to hate), yet this clash doesn't play out quite the way you predict it will any more than any other aspect of the film. The film's other key character is Matthew Davis' Paxton, a college student who becomes friends with Bozz. They are poised young men, more intelligent, articulate and reflective than the others in their platoon. In comparison to Bozz, the knocked-around realist, disillusioned rather than easily cynical, Paxton is naive, not a supporter of the war effort yet

willing to serve his country. Farrell and Davis, with only a few screen credits under their belts, are potent discoveries who should receive key career boosts with their performances; indeed, everyone involved in the making of "Tigerland" on both sides of the camera comes out looking good. The film itself, photographed (in 16mm) with stunning immediacy by Matthew Libatique, looks great, its impact punctuated by -a consistently apt score composed by Nathan Larsen, fresh off"Boys Don't Cry." "Tigerland" is tightly constructed and culminates with a stunningly appropriate charge of ambiguity. (MPAA rating: R, for violence, pervasive language, a scene of strong sexuality/nudity, and for language. Los Angeles Times guidelines: The film's violence is all the more intense for having been presented with a discretion that can be appreciated by adults but renders the film, along with its other MPAA-cited elements, unsuitable for children. ...._

hired gun to be made vulnera ble by intimations of mortality, intimations that send him down the path of vengeance even as it sparks a yearning for redemption. Stallone skillfully expresses Carters isolation, his awakening paternal feelings of concern for his niece, his sense that he has let his brother down in not staying around to steer him clear of the underworld. Scenes between Stallone and Cook are quite affecting under Stephen Kay's direction. The fihn could use more such scenes, but Kay and screenwriter David McKenna keep punching up the formula action at the expense of the reflection their hero is beginning to develop. Although this ''Get Carter " has its share of cliched, toughtalk dialogue, it is not a terrible movie, and Stallone has appeared in far worse .

Be kind to our superstitious friends Be conscientious of the superstitious The alarm goes off. The average college student hits the snooze button and thinks, "Just five more minutes." However, today may be even more difficult to wake up to for those who fear Friday the 13th. The thought of this day may cause many superstitious people to crawl back under the covers to avoid the lurking superstitions that may occur today. A statistician for the Austin Chronicle said due to the mathematics of the calendar, the 13th of the month is more likely to fall on Friday than on any

other day of the ·week. This is bad news for people with superstitious tendencies like avoiding cro}sing the path of a black cat, opening an umbrella indoors or walking under a ladder. Superstition surrounding the number 13 has oeen around for centuries. In fact, according to the Austin Chronicle, the 28th president of the United States was criticized for having a dinner party ancf inviting 13 guests. Many people will not stay in hotel rooms numbered 13 or climb ladders or flights of stairs with 13 steps. The fear of the number 13 is so real for many

people that often hospitals will omit the number 13 when numbering hospital rooms or beas. Superstition surrounding Friday the 13th is oelieved to have stemmed from the fact that there were 13 people present at the Last Supper, which resulted in disaster. No matter the basis for fear on Friday the 13th, we should all make a special effort to be considerate on this, the freakiest Friday in October. Do not leave ladders out today. Keep your black cats inside, and, with the anticipated rain today, don't open those umbrellas indoors.

How's the social life? Feeling left out? Shy? Afraid to make .conversation? Don't be. All you need is a good, healthy dose of the Taggart Student Center computer lab. Yes, friends, in the TSC computer lab you can not only chat it up with friends as you e-mai each other, but you can also listen in on other conversations around you. Afraid you don't know the latest news? No worries. Just

rour

listen to those around you. For instance, did you know that one of the girls working in the computer lab got a call last week from the same guy she just finished telling her coworker about? How COOL is that? Very exciting. And no, you don't have to be standing right up front near the counter to hear all the lurid details; they're more than happy to talk loud enough for you in the very back by the bathrooms. You won't miss asingle moment. What about group projects? Will you all fin& a seat in the lab next to each other? Do you all have your ID cards with you? No matter. Your group can pack itself in right next to me. I'll be in the middle of the room at the middle computer waiting anxiously for you to whack me in the back of the head with your backpack while you and your friends crowd around

one screen. Whatever you do, be sure not to whisper. That makes eavesdropping on conversations rather difficult, and nobody likes to strain their ears. Especially when feigning concentration on a research paper. What's that, you say?You don't have a group project? How sad. But don't despair. We've got ways for you to be loud and fit right in. First of all, make sure you run into some long-lost friends in the lab. Stop, squeal and gossip about your latest escapade in the forest with Johnny or Jane. We all want to hear about it.

The city then became invisible, leaving the people and the cars rushing about a city they couldn't see. The saddest part was no one even noticed, because they were so concerned with the speed of their travel. Gov. Leavitt wants us to move faster from place to place. Like the city of reality, his proposition may destroy the beauty we have. He wants to build the Legacy Highway even though 1-15 is already under construction to make it wider. This modern feat of engineering wi II run parallel to the existing 1-15from Brigham City to Nephi, 85 miles south of Salt Lake. The purpose is to alleviate congestion on the major freeway along the Wasatch front. T)le site for this proposed road is in the middle of wetlands and rural communities. I acknowledge that those wetlands weren't there when pioneers arrived in 1847. However, they have become part of the natural landscape. Birds and other animals live there now. To say that we have a right to remove the wetlands just because we created

Everyone enjoyed the beauty of the place, taking their time while going from one place to another. That is, until one day a man noticed that if he stared at his shoes and walked as quickly as he could, he arrived at his destination sooner. He shared the idea, and soon everyone stared at their shoes while traveling. Since they weren't looking at the beautiful city anymore, the city became dirty and ugly as the people moved faster and faster from place to place.

The smaller communities west of 1-15 wi 11suffer as well. As the Legacy Highway goes up, land along it will become prime commercial real estate. Farms will be bought , century-old homes will be leveled, and the homogenization will begin. Instead of the mom and pop grocery and variety stores, there will be national chain gas stations, supermarkets and department stores. Replacing the local cafe will be another franchise restaurant at every exit. The local entrepreneur will be shut down as has happened along most major freeways. This is a road that makes us all lose. We will lose the farms and small town spirit that bind communities as the roadway opens more bedroom communities to the working people of Salt Lake. How does Gov.

iFoRUM . Statesmanlettersto the Editor

Everyo~e'sentitled to his/her opinion Dear Editor, I would just like to respond to everyone who responded to Rich Timothy's column: Leave him alone! Just because he decides to print his opinion on abortion doesn't mean you all have to go harping on him. Everyone is entitled to his opinion, and even if you don't like it, you don't have to insult him in an attempt to change his mind. I think what he said is

absolutely correct; it's none of our business what the woman does with her unborn child. It's not the government's business, nor anyone else's. Just let her do what she wants. Nobody has any right to involve himself in something as personal as this. I don't agree with it, but that doesn't make a difference. It's not my business, and it's not any of yours, either.

Opinions in the Statesman are getting progressively more repetitive ___ . and banal._ Someone orlrigs ·up an issue, someone else responds to the contrary, next thing you know there are dozens of people writing in on the two sides of the issue, perpetuating a them-and -us mentality. And then after a couple of weeks someone else writes in, claiming "I have never written a letter to the editor, but now I want to." Can't we all be friends? Can't we be more tolerant and understanding of one another? I have an idea. Why

We need to quell a lot of myths before we can get anywhere. Can we please stop ignoring this? Is it possible to face this issue with patient conversation in some kind of a public forum? Can the uni versity, the City of Logan or ASUSU provide such a forum without making it one-sided or confrontational? Would we the public be willing to participate civilly? Will we ever admit to ourselves that such alarming bipolarity is disgusting, unacceptable and needs to be fixed? Ryan P. Long

Zach Hampton

Face real issue:Mormons vs. non-Mormons Dear Editor,

fact that other people don't. It's just one more excuse to NOT talk about something that's getting bigger and more venomous. Tolerance is NOT the answer. If you can't ACCEPT someone's beliefs, then please don't be so condescending as to offer them "tolerance." Do you want someone to "tolerate" you? I think not. Understanding would help, but that isn't the answer, either, since much of the conflict arises when people finally DO understand the other side, and don't like what they see.

don't we discuss the real issue?The "them" and "us"· is pretty obvious Mormons and non-Mormons. We're not going to get anywhere by skirting that fact. There is a real dysfunction in this area betwe~n these two groups, and hiding the conflict behind less important political issues is probably the worst and most divisive thing we can do, The conflict is there and very real. It's time we started taking a look at it openly and non-aggressively. Before anyone writes in with an "I get along just fine with all my Mormon/nonMormon friend~ ... " letter, let me just say that even if you do, that doesn't change the

Voter registration available on campus, too Dear Editor, Wednesday's article on voter registration did not recognize that students can also register ON CAMPUS. Forms for residents of Utah and other states are available at tables across campus or in the ASUSU office, TSC 326. If students fi II out the forms and return them to the office, ASUSU will mail them in. The last day for oncampus registration is Tuesday. A driver's license is required to register, and the form takes onfy a few minutes to fill out. A registration coalition has been formed between

the College Democrats, the College Republicans, the ECOS club, Public Affairs Board and the Green Party. The group has registered around 2,000 students already. While the article did a wonderful job outlining where we can go to register to vote in Logan, as a student, I think it is very important that we realize we can register outside our own classroom. For questions about registration, please e-mail or call ASUSU Executive Vice President Rex Hansen at RexH@cc.usu.edu or 7971727 .

I'm just doing my part for the environment Dear Editor, I am doing my best to make the world a better place; here is how. I skipped my first class today in order to conserve note paper. I slept through my second class, and in my third we had group discussion, so no paper used at al I. I am sad to say that in my last class I did have to break down and take some notes, but I wrote in the book as much as I could since the tree had already been murdered by the publisher. I handed in only two pages of my three-page report and later that evening I only used three squaresof toilet paper for, um ... my duty. Why do I do it? I feel it my

duty to do my part to counteract the wastefuI use of paper by the College of Natural Resources.When I saw al I that paper strapped to the helpless trees with a non-stick plastic strip that undoubtedly came wrapped around a cardboard ring, (the horror) I was appalled. · I ask that all students everywhere write small, skip class and write short papers so that the College of Natural Resourcescan continue to drive home its point. In related news, the political science department plans to "get out the vote" by hiding alI voter registration cards and taking the county clerk hostage. Chris Huntington

Stop the movement toward bei.ng exclusive Dear Editor, I am writing in responseto no particular article, just various pieces I've seen printed in

The UtahStatesman. We are a society that is moving more and more toward being exclusive being part of something others cannot. I noticed that today was "National Coming Out Day." I have seen various

school-sponsoredorganizations that are attempting to be exclusive. I am directing my remarksto members of groups that support things such as homosexuality, feminism and racial seclusion. I understand that different people have differing opinions, especially about these issues.I ► SEE LETTERS

From Page 15 will leave individual preferences out of this letter. My concern is that they are, for the most part, hypocritical. Let me explain. Taking a group that supports women - such as the recent gathering in Logan - is widely accepted even in Utah. Groups that support African Americans, Oriental nations and homosexuals have unique membership standards. My conflict is not with these groups, but attitudes displayed by some of the members. The problem lies in how they fiercely they defend their rights. I will ii lustrate this in using a fictitious organization. Let's say that I started a school organization called The White Males Moral Society. I would be given various labels from racist to intolerant. Replace the word gay in "gay pride" with the word moral. One is fine to use while the other is an intolerant strain on society. In the southern United States,there are universities that limit their enrollment to individuals of African American descent. Using the same standard, a school allowing only Caucasians is a racist institution . To use a recent quote, "The earth is a woman and she will rise." Replace that

and U.S. representatives. I was very upset by the unprofessionalism displayed by Jessica whi 1st reporting on candidates' stances on abortion. It was stated that U.S. Rep. Hanson "opposes partial-birth abortions." A journalist who is writing a news piece, thus not including personal opinions, shou Id not use the term "partial-birth abortion" because it has no meaning. Look it up in a medical book. You won't find it. Partialbirth abortions do not exist. The term partial-birth abortion was created by antichoice (and pro-women's death by illegal abortion) with, "The ~arth is a man and advocates to convi nee the he will rise."

►BOMBING From Page2 to go to Yemen. Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh talked with Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, pledged his cooperation in the investigation and visited some of the injured who were hospitalized locally. He insisted in a CNN interview that his country did not harbor "terrorist elements" and said, "I don't think it's a terrorist attack." The Pentagon said it was contacting families and would not release victims' names until Friday. But the parents of sailor Craig Wibberley, 19, of Williamsport, Md., confirmed Thursday night that their son was killed in the bombing, according to The Herald-Mail of Hagerstown, Md. It was the first attack targeting the U.S. military in Yemen since the Pentagon pulled out all 100 American military personnel based there inJanuary 1993 after , bombings outside the U.S. Embassy and at hotels where some Americans were staying. U.S. intelligence has blamed Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaida organization for some of those bombings. The Cole is a $1 billion guided missile destroyer home-ported at Norfolk, Va. It had sailed through the Red Sea and was en route to the Persian Gulf where it was to perform maritime intercept operations in support of the U.N. embargo against Iraq. The ship has a crew of about 350 people. Navy medical teams were en route to the scene Thursday to treat those injured in the 5: 15 a.m. EDT explosion, Pentagon officials said. U.S . aircraft capable of evacuating the injured were also scheduled to fly to Aden. The incident was all the more stunning given that U.S. forces in the Middle East have been on a heightened state of alert in recent days and security plans for a port visit like the Cole's are drawn up in advance. The Cole had just arrived in the harbor and was scheduled to leave in about four hours, officials said, suggesting the attackers may have known the ships schedule and the procedures for a refueling stop . Adm . Vern Clark, the chief of naval operations, said he could not fault the Cole's crew for not preventing the midday attack that apparently was carried out by two men in a small harbor craft that was helping tie up the ship's mooring lines at a fueling facility in the middle of the Aden harbor. As a participant in normal harbor operations, the small boat's presence did not raise suspicions, Clark said. "I have no reason to think this was anything but a senseless act of terrorism," Clark said. After helping the Cole moor, the small boat came

alongside the warship and apparently detonated a highexplosive bomb, killing themselves in the process. Some reports said the two men in the boat stood at attention as the bomb exploded, although Clark said he could not verify such details based on early information. The explosion ripped a hole 20 feet high and 40 feet wide in the midsection of the ship, flooding the main engine compartment. Clark said the flooding was brought under control and the ship was not in danger of sinking. Clark displayed a Navy photograph of the damaged ship. The jagged edges of the hole in the hull protruded inward, suggesting the explosive force came from outside the ship at roughly the water level. Women sailors were among the casualties, Clark said, although identities of the dead and injured were not released pending notification of relatives. Pressed to explain why the Navy would not have checked the credentials of harbor crews more carefully, Cohen said it would have been "very difficult if not impossible to protect against this kind of incident." "Our vigilance cannot eliminate all risk," Cohen said. Clark said the U.S. Embassy in Aden made the arrangements for the local harbor support. At a State Department news conference, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright declared: "We willhold those who committed it accountable and take appropriate steps." She said this is no time for the United States to "retreat from our responsibilities" in the region. "We are operating in a world that is filled with a variety of threats. But that doesn't mean that we can crawl into an ostrichlike mode. We are eagles," Albright said. No other U.S. ships were in Aden at the time of the attack. The explosion was "so loud I thought it was from inside the hotel. The windows in 21 of our 33 rooms were shattered, and many of the television sets fell and broke," said Ahmed Mohammed AlN aderi, manager of the portside Rock Hotel. "Thank God, none of the guests or hotel personnel were injured." · William Arkin, a military expert who specializes in Gulf affairs, said Yemen became a more frequent refueling stop for Navy ships following a December 1997 U.S. government policy decision to open up contacts and cooperation with the country. He questioned the wisdom of using Aden, considering that refueling also is available in nearby Djibouti, which Arkin said presents less of a terrorism risk.

Clinton may visit North Iiorea to improve foreign relatio~s · DAVID BRISCOE

AssociatedPress WASHINGTON - President Clinton may visit North Korea as part of an intensified effort to improve ties with that country, a joint U.S.-North Korean communique said Thursday. The communique, issued after two days of talks with a North Korean special envoy, was released after Secretary of State Madeleine Albright announced plans to visit Pyongyang in the near future. The visit to Washington by Jo Myong Rok, first vice chairman of the North Korea's National Defense Commission, included talks with Clinton, Albright and Defense Secretary William Cohen. The communique said the two sides "have decided to take steps to fundamentally improve their bilateral relations in the interests of enhancing peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region." The final paragraph of the communique raised the possibility of a visit by Clinton to Pyongyang, a step without precedent for an American president, one which would have been considered inconceivable just a few months ago. "It was agreed that Secretary of State Madeleine Albright will visit the DPRK (North Korea) in the near future to convey the views of U.S. President Wtlliam Clinton directly to Chairman KirnJong II of the DPRK National Defense Commission and to prepare for a possible visit by the president of the United States," the communique said. The communique said the two sides are prepared to undertake a new direction in their relations. "Asa first step, the two sides stated that neither government would have hostile intent toward the other and confirmed the commitment of both governments to make . every effort in the future to build a new relationship free from past enmity," it said. At a news briefing, Albright noted that in relations with North Korea, "the differences are extensive and of long standing. They will not be erased overnight."

On the other hand, she said the United States and North Korea have taken "a very substantial step away from the frozen and distant relations of the past." The most difficult issue for the United States in the relationship has been North Korea's military posture . The communique said resolution of U.S. concerns over missile development would make an essential contribution to an improved relationship. "To further the efforts to build new relations, the DPRK informed the U.S. that it will not launch long-range missiles of any kind while talks on the missile issue ·continue." Albright said her visit to North Korea probably will take place before the end of

the month. In comments Wednesday night, She said she looked forward to discussing "serious issues and matters of mutual concern." It would be the first visit by a top- , level U.S. official to the communist nation since the Korean War. In a toast at a dinner ho~ed byJo for ' several U.S. officials, Albright said lessened , tension on the Korean peninsula offers opportunities that U.S. diplomats must seize. Jo, the first high-level North Korean " · official ever to visit Washington, said he was pleased to report to Kim a "positive : response" from his meetings. In his dinner ;: · toast, Jo said Kirn has made a decision to remove the "confrontation and distrust from our bilateral relationship." Jo left Washington on Thursday. • Visits to North Korea by members of Congress and by f9nner Defense Secretary, William Perry, in addition to historic contacts between North and South Korean leaders, preceded Jo's visit and Albright's plan for a reciprocal trip. The State Department offered no details of her travel plans. Albright has made far more trips to the Middle East than to Asia in her tenure as secretary of state, and Asia is region that appears to offer better prospects _for successful diplomacy in the last three months of the Clinton administration. President Clinton plans to visit , one,time enemy Vietnam net month. Earlier Wednesday, Jo met with .AJbright and the department's top adviser on North Korea, Wendy Sherman, after talkswith Clinton on Tuesday. Holding the rank of vice marshal in North Korea's military, Jo also met with membets of Congress at the State Department and with Defense . Secretary William Cohen at the Pentagon. Officials raised U.S. hopes to expand the search in North Korea for the remains of U.S. servicemen killed in the Korean War. Teams of U.S. forensics expertS have recovered 35 sets of remains in North Korea so far this year, but the government has not agreed to extend the workbeyond November.
