Those who support the initiative, which has twice been defeated by the Utah Legislature but is now on the Utah ballot after receiving enough signatures in a petition drive, say Utah immigrants need to know English to get by. But those who oppose it call it impractical, unnecessary and Possiblydivisive. Initiative supporters say it encourages non-English speakers to learn English. "It's not a crisis in Utah yet, but good government doesn't wait for a crisis," said Rep. Tammy Rowan, R-Orem, of the possibility that too many languages will complicate government.

"Deliberately or not, it conveys an attitude of cultural superiority, as if somehow the English language and the people who speak it are better than other people," Lyons said. Utah Gov.

IGLANCE · Elevenkilled when two small planes collide in Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP)- Two small planes collided in the air Sunday in western Argentina, killing all 11 people aboard the two aircraft, including four children, officials said. It was unclear how the accident occurred over the city of Chucabuco, 125 miles west of Buenos Aires. Both pilots were wellknown flight instructors, local fire chief Mario Bergaglio said. Both Piper aircraft flew out from Chacabuco Airclub, he said. They collided over the outskirts of the city, falling about 1,600 feet before crashing. No one on the ground was hurt. "The planes weren't performing special moves but flying normally," Bergaglio said. Including the pilots, there were five people were aboard one plane and six on the other.

Israel calls timeout in peace process after day of gunbattles RoNKAMPEAS

Associated Press

JERUSALEM - Ehud Barak caJled for a peace "time-out" and Yasser Arafat told him to "go to hell." The Israeli and Palestinian leaders seemed further than ever Sunday from the peace their U.S. and Egyptian sponsors have tried so hard to salvage. The violence in the West Bank and 1 ' the G~za Str!J,l.shciwedno signs ?f abating, and the cease-fire called durm/:i last •~c!~k'speace su.rnmit was little more than a memory. In the fiercest fighting in the Jerusalem environs since clashes broke out on Sept. 28, Israeli helicopter gunships rocketed the Palestinian-held village of Beit J alla. Some Palestinian homes were leveled. Electricity and phone lines were down, and Palestinians said the power plant had been hit. The three hours of fighting started when Palestinian gunmen in BeitJalla and in Bethlehem opened fire on residential apartment buildings in Gilo, a suburb of Jerusalem, and Israeli police responded with tank, machine-gun and · helicopter rocket fire. The army said it warned n:sidents of targeted areas in BeitJalla to evacuate before it launched its counterattack. Gilo residents gathered in the streets to watch, cheering each hit. . Next to a church in the largely Christian village, the gate to the Dabdoub family home was damaged. Inside, 10-year-old Dalia shuddered beneath the folds of a blanket, huddling next to her mother. Abdullah Dabdoub said he was considering taking his wife

and daughters and leaving the region. "They could cut off our electricity, they could cut off our water, they could starve us to death," he said. Toting his 2-year-old daughter beneath his arms, Yair Peretz tracked a buJlet's trajectory for a 1V crew. "It came in here, whizzed over her head here on the couch, where she was sitting," he said, referring to his daughter, "and came out here." Else'fhere, four Palesti,nians died in clashes 1 including two teen-agers in the Gaza Strip, and two men near the West Bank town of Hebron. Stone-throwing clashes were reported in several chronic trouble spots. A total of 121 people, most of them Palestinian, have been killed in more than three weeks of violence. "We need to have a time-out ... to reassess the peace process in light of the events of the last few weeks," Barak told his weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday. "One would have to be blind to security and political needs to continue as if nothing has changed," he said. A statement issued by Barak's office did not say how long the "time-out" would last. Israeli negotiators would refuse to meet with their Palestinian counterparts until the time-out was lifted. Arafat, speaking after returning Sunday from a two-day Arab summit in Cairo, said the Palestinian state would come - with or without the peace process, or Barak's approval. Arafat said that his "response" to the time-out was that his people were "continuing their road to Jerusalem, the capital of the Palestinian state." Whether

Barak accepts that or not, Arafat said in English: "Let him go to hell." The intensification of the rhetoric came despite efforts by Egypt and the United States to salvage the peace process. Egypt and the United States convened the summit last week at the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh that ended with a cease-fire declaration. The Americans said they would continue to work toward bringing the sides together. While campaigning Sunday, Presid~nt Clinton managed to reach Barak by telephone for a 15-minute conversation, White House spokesman Elliot Diringer said. Clinton restated his commitment to working with both sides to "ensure full implementation of the Sharm El-Sheik agreement ... and ultimately to get back to the peace process," he said. Egypt, meanwhile, headed off an Arab summit declaration that would mandate breaking off ties with Israel, effectively declaring the peace process dead. Arab nations "hold Israel responsible for any steps taken in regard to relations with Israel by Arab countries, including their cancellation," said the final declaration of the Cairo summit. That fell short of efforts by radicals for a clear-cut call for ending ties with Israel - and left intact Egypt's moderating role in the region. Barak thanked the Egyptians for moderating the summit but rejected the overall tone of the gathering. the summit and condemns the call, implicit in the resolutions, for continuation of the violence," he told reporters.

MEXICO CITY (AP) - With flames and smoke filling a glitzy Mexico City nightclub, terrified patrons fled for the sole exit - only to find guards barring the way to some, demanding they first pay their bills, survivors said. The blaze killed 20 people, and injured two dozen more . The Lobohombo club was still packed at 5 a.m. when the blaze started Friday. "Please! It's burning! Open the door!" Sara Falcon said she and others pleaded to the guards who stopped them asking for tickets proving they'd paid. Hours after the tragedy, hundreds milled outside the charred building, its mirrors shattered and blackened with smoke. Its trademark, a sign featuring the face of a cartoon dog, was gone . Police said a short circuit in the sound booth may have sparked the blaze, but firefighters said witnesses reported hearing several explosions.

FormerPeruvianstrongman Montesinosleaves Panama PANAMA CITY (AP) - Peru's former intelligence chief, Vladimiro Montesinos, left Panama on Sunday for Ecuador, the Panamanian president's office said. The reason for his departure was not immediately clear. He arrived Sept. 24 in Panama seeking political asylum, but there has been speculation that Panama was lukewarm to the move. As Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori's spy-chief and closest adviser, Montesinos was viewed by many as the most powerful man in Peru. The release of a video in mid-September showing him apparently bribing an opposition politician unleashed a political crisis that triggered his flight to Paha\i\a. Panama has a history of harboring Latin American strongmen reviled in their home countries, but the pressure to deny asylum to Montesinos was high. Anti-asylum demonstrations broke out here, protests not seen since Panama gave asylum to the Shah of Iran in 1979. Since then, Panama has allowed in Haitian dictator Raul Cedras, reviled former Ecuadorean President Abdala Bucaram, and former Guatemalan President Jorge Serrano Elias, who attempted to seize absolute power in his country in 1993.

Utahphonecompanyto be bought byNewYork-based conglomerate SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - The tiny Central Utah Telephone company has agreed to be acquired by Lynch Interactive Corp., a New York-based telecommunications conglomerate. Central Utah Telephone and its subsidiaries, Skyline Telecom and Bear Lake Communications, serve approximately 4,100 telephone access lines in Rich, Cache, Carbon, Sanpete, Wasatch, Utah and Juab counties. The companr also has a contract with Qwest Communications Internationa Inc. to acquire four rural telephone exchanges operated by the former US West. !ho~ exchanges in Dugway, Wendover, Mt. Pleasant and Spnng City will add another 3,300 access lines to the company's operations. The sale was strictly a financial decision, said Ed Cox, Central Utah's vice president and general manager. "Our company needed a little deeper pockets so we can contin ue to upgrade service and bring new products and technology to our customers," he said. Central Utah was founded as Fairview Telephone in 1903. Coxs grandfather, Ralph Cox, was one of the original founders of the company. He acquired sole ownership of Fairview Telephone in 1919.

Cache Valley residents outside of Logan will vote on two initiatives that would provide bus services to cities from Richmond to Hyrum, including unincoiporated corridors between cities. The first would establish a public transit district. The second would fund the transit district by raising sales tax in the affected areas from 6 percent to 6.25 percent. "Both issues must pass or this doesn't happen,» said Ron Bushman, director of the Logan Transit District. The proposed plan would start with buses going out to Richmond and Hyrum seven times a day, with one hour between buses at peak use periods. North Logan would receive one additional route per day "The extra route for North Logan is because it serves businesses on Main Street from 500 North to 2600 North," said Jay Aguilar, transportation planner for the Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization. "There's a highdensity residential area as well" Explaining the reason for the low number of rides to other cities, Aguilar said, "This is a conservative first step. The estimate is that we'll receive enough money to start imt~vements almost immediate . Bushman said the county service will be run by the

Cache Valley Transportation Department. While both companies will contract with Laidlaw Transportation, the CVTD will have a different governing board from the LTD, made up of mayors around the valley. "They will make determinations about servi:es," Bushman said. No fare will be charged for the county service for the first year. Aguilar said when the LTD was started eight years ago, the same promise was made. 'We don't want to presume the board will continue the policy, but based on an estimate by LSC Consultants, it willgenerate $650,000 annually from sales tax," Aguilar said. Bushman anticipates servi:e to start nen August. He said he would like to finish the new transit center befure starting more bus routes. 'With the transit center, things are going to be a hairy mess for a few months," Bushman said. "But I'd like to get services started a week before school starts to get drivers used to routes." Aguilar said another reason for the delay is that funds for the new district can't be collected until April. Jim Gas, city manager for Smithfield, said it will be good for the valley and that it has widespread support in his city. "The only concern raised was the potential for children to get on the bus and go to Logan without their parents' knowledge," he said. "All the

comments I've heard have been positive." However, not everyone is in favor of the plan. "One of the drawbacks for River Heights is that there's no scheduled stop here," said Brent Greenhalgh, councilman fur River Heights. "I don't think it's a good idea to raise the sales tax and get nothing out if it." Aguilar said most of the objections he has heard have come from groups opposed to the taxes. He said in cities where buses charge fares, the fares only account for 10 to 15 percent of income. "These people say that the market should support itself, through fares," Aguilar said. "Youcannot point to a mode of transportation that is not subsidized, automobiles being the most subsidized of all." In support of his point, Aguilar pointed to taxes to build and maintain roads and other costs associated with automobiles. 'Toyota is subsidizing the Prius," he said. "They say it's costing $30,000 to build, but they're selling it for $20,000." Aguilar also said more transportation alternatives make a better community. He would like to work public transportation into the growth of Cache Valley "Having that [public transportation] alternative can provide opportunities for the nen generation to be more like Europe where there's no stigma to public transportation," Aguilar said.

NEW YORK (AP)Young people are tuning out the presidential campaign in such numbers that they may be the most disconnected group of potential voters in tne nation's history, MTV's top researcher said Thursday. :.'·\ ..

She said opponents of the initiative want to make it sound racist and divisive but that it is really a practical solution to a potential problem. Martinez -Inzunza agrees the public doesn't understand the issue, but he said people see the initiative as logical and patriotic without realizing its divisiveness .

"One of the problems with these sorts of initiatives is that they mask themselves as patri-

otic and wrap themselves in the American flag," he said. But he said the initiative encourages ignorance - "and, by a few, arrogance" - of immigrant issues, ignorance that "can mislead people from truly appreciating the value and the beauty of our American diverse heritage. To be diverse is to be American. " The full text of the initiative, an impartial analysis of it and arguments for and against it can all be found at Lt. Gov.

Once a stable for "man's best friend," the Utah State University "Art Barn" now houses a menagerie of teach. ers' assistants, graduate students and professors involved in areas from philosophy to

psychology to the speech communications emphasis of the languages and philosophy department. In addition to students and professors, the barn houses the psychology department's research body parts. But still, the entrance

reminds visitors that the barn in the corner of the Taggart Student Center parking lot once housed several horses, the animal that is better friends with man than even the dog, according to the stable hands who emblazoned the nickname above the door. "A lot of people think it's abandoned," said Harold Kinzer, a coordinator of speech communications. "We rather like it here. It gives us something to talk about on the first day of class." According to the pictures and history of the Barn displayed in the building and

compiled by Nancy Birch, who had her office in the "first stall," the first known pictures showing the barn were taken in 1927. Birch said the barn was originally used to house the horses used at USU. The surrounding area had other smaller barns, and where the TSC lot is now, there was a corral, Kinzer said. It was a model farm used for research and study much like the dairy is now, he said. During the 1950s, the university did some restructuring of the building, but the Art Barn was left in its place

because it was "too stationary and sentimental to be transported," Birch said. "It's completely made of concrete," Kinzer said. "It's just too darn sturdy." During Spring Quarter of 1959, a ceramics class was moved into the Art Barn, thus giving it its current name, Birch said. "They decided it wasn't such a great idea having kilns in Old Main," Kinzer said. The Art department was in the Barn until the Chase Fine Arts Center was built. The speech communications emphasis moved in

about seven years ago, Kinzer said. "One thing about this university is that it uses space well," he said. "This space was available, and we took it." Despite the jokes about being housed in the Barn, Kinzer said, "It's good space. Our department is located together, where previously we were all in different buildings." "I think they will continue to use this building for many, many years," Kinzer said. "I plan to retire in this building. We can't count on getting funding for new buildings."

Every eight to 10 weeks, Utah State University's Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art brings a new exhibit to its upstairs gallery. By the ti me a new show opens, it has been in the works for months, or even years, said Education Curator Victoria Rowe. ' "We're currently wor king on exhibits that will run two years from now," Rowe said. The museum usua lly purchases traveling exhibits from other art museums through packets, like ordering from a catalog, Rowe said. The process of installing a show begins by verifying that the museum can get'the exhibit, said Collections Manager Susanne L ambert. Then the museum staff begins thinking about the best way to display the objects. For example, Lambert said, the museum recently housed a show of more than 70 small sculpture pieces. Lambert displayed the sculptures on pedesta ls she built and student staff members painted .

The next consideration is the color scheme and design of the show, Lambert said. "Most people don't think about the mechanics when they look at the exhibit," Rowe said. Often, the museum staff will build or move walls in the gallery in addition to re-painting them. - When the artwork to be displayed arrives, and after Lambert has personally c:1ecked the pieces for shipping dam age, the museum staff can begin to group and display the objects. Often, the exhibit's creator will send instructions in written or slide form, Rowe said. Artists will sometimes want to display an evolution of thoug ht in the way their work is set up, Lambert said. When the artist himself contributes to. the design of the exhibit, the show is called an "installation ." The final step in preparing an exhibit is the lighting. "Lighting is changed for every show," Rowe said. The lights on tracks in the ceiling include several kinds of bulbs, since some artwork is more sensitive to li'ght than others, Lambert said.

The process of installing an exhibit is "like creating a painting," Rowe said. "You have to think about what the 'whole look' will be." But individual positioning is just as important as the m-erall picture . "You also have to think about what people are going to see first, and if there is.too much blank space," Lambert said. The museum staff is composed of full-time curators and several student assistants . The staff gains its training primarily from hands-on experience, and any background in art is helpful, Rowe said. The curators, like Rowe and Lambert, also employ some knowledge of the "philosophy" of exhibit design, Rowe said. This includes knowledge of color psychology and the psychology of how people move ·through space . In the past, the museum provided paid internships to acquaint students with museum work. The museum will be going through the process of installing an exhibit start ing next \v:eek, when it prepares for the arrival of a show by painter Sam Erenberg. Erenberg will also be giving a presentation and student critique, Rowe said.

LOS ANGELES - J. Watson Garman knows people think he is weird. People above ground anyway. "They find out about it and say, 'Whoa! I think I'll stand over here (away from you),"' said Garman, a Los Angeles resident. The 53-year-old free-lance photographer is a member of the Hollywood Underground, a group that is accustomed to reactions of wide-eyed disbelief to their hobby of celebrity grave hunting. At least once a month, the group of a couple dozen members meets at a Los Angeles area cemetery to look for new grave sites and to revisit the final resting places of some of Hollywood's greatest legends. Garman, like many group members, keeps careful records of his graveside travels. He photograp hs each new cel~brity-related grav_eand wntes down any pernnent information that his diligent research can dig up about the deceased. He then meticulously catalogs the bounty in a threering notebook. (Most younger members record the information on their Web pages.) "My wife thinks I'm crazy," he admitted. "But is 'this so different than going to a wine auction and paying $5,000 for a bottle?" Besides, Garman maintains, they aren't the real weirdos. "Compared to the Trekkies, we're like the Salvation Army," he said. "But I have to say there is a real nut element to this and they are the ones that give us a bad name." The "nuts" are the ones who crash graveyards at night. (Hollywood Underground doesn't. Graveyards are closed and it's hard to find a head marker in the dark anyway.)The nuts

dress in black. (Actually,some Hollywood Underground members dress in black, but it's not a prerequisite for joining or participating.) The nuts, Garman said, usually don't have jobs or social lives. (Most Hollywood Underground members have both.) And, in perhaps the most important distinction, the nuts sever the heads off small animals. (Hollywood Underground doesn't. Indeed, many report having happy pets.) "Once we found a headless chicken behind a gravestone," said Steve Goldstein, a Hollywood Underground member finishing up a book called "Southern California's Graves of the Famous, the Infamous and the Just Plain Dead." "I mean, we're not doing satanic rituals here. We're just normal people with an unusual hobby." Hollywood Underground is certainly not the only group that chases down dead celebrities. By far, the largest tribe of grave hunter-gatherers is made up of tourists. Camera-toting looky-loos from around the globe frequent many of the Los Angeles area's half dozen or so major e;emeteries. Tourists, however, are relative fair-weather fans in the world of celebrity grave hunting. For determination, persistence and o~ganization, it's hard to beat Hollywood Underground. On a recent Sunday afternoon, members endured 100degree-plus temperatures to tour one of their favorite haunts, Forest Lawn Memorial- Park in nearby Glendale. The cemetery reads like an all-star lineup of entertainment greats. Members passed by Walt Disney, Dorothy Dandridge , Sammy Davis Jr. and Errol Flynn, to name just a few.

Glowing bunny " work of a,rt or la,test in scientific controversy? LIBBY COPELAND

The Washington Post

In a Paris laboratory, Alba the albino rustles and sniffs. She is gloriously white and plump, her ears long and supple. Granted, she is just one experimental bunny among many, her beauty obscured by her scientific purpose. There's this man in Chicago who wants Alba badly. "All I want is for Alba to live with us and have a loving family,"says

Eduardo Kac. But Alba'snot just any rabbit destined for leaf lettuce and a cedar-chip bed. Alba glows in the dark. Well, glows in the dark isn't quite right; more precisely, she glows when placed ~der an ultraviolet light. She glows a peculiar lime green from her feet to her nose. Her eyes gleam like green flashlights. Alba knows not the controversy that surrounds her existence. She is the product of a

union between a rabbit embryo and green fluorescent protein, or GFP, which comes from a certain jellyfish. She's also the latest blip in the debate over a brave new world that increasingly looks like a sci-fi novel, where altering the living seems as effortless and trivial as blowing your nose, where human cloning seems just over the horiwn. Eduardo Kac, an artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, claims he conceived

of Alba and spurred scientists to create her for the sake of art. He wanted to use her to generate debate about the future of genetic engineering. Art?! you exclaim. Greening a living this as art?! But wait. First know this: At the French government lab, the National Institute of Agronomic Research, about IO ►SEE ALBA Page 7

They come on plates, platters, napkins or in packages. They come infused with chocolate chips, nuts or oatmeal. They are cookies . And they are great. Have you ever realized the power a single cookie holds? An exchange of cookies between persons magnifies the friendship 100-fold. How does the lit-----------tle lump of flavored sugar do it? CU Let's take a look at the roles cookies play in the game of life . First, let's look at the cookie as a tool of bribery. It starts from the time you take your first step. Do you really think you enjoyed walking half a step, only to have your pudgy little infant face hit the carpet (or maybe cement, . for the not-so-lucky) a second later? I would guess your mother or walking coach was at the other end of the room waving a stale, crumbly cookie that awa ited your slobbery, toothless little mouth. Your googly eyes were enticed;Jour toddler feet had no choice but to hea straight for that cookie . On the flip side, how many of us use the cookie to get what we want? · There is extreme power in a freshly baked batch of cookies. Try this experiment. When you go home today , make a batch of cookies, arrange them on a plate and await the arrival of your roommates.

►GRAVES From Page 4 death than you ever would have in life," said Goldstein, whose findings from his many graveyard shifts can be seen at www.beneathlosangeles.com. "In a graveyard, you're only 6 feet away." Sometimes, in cemeteries such as Forest Lawn in Glendale, it's hard to get even 6 feet away. Many celebrities, including Mary Pickford, Humphrey Bogart and Dick Powell, are buried behind walls with locked iron gates and ,doors. It takes a special key to enter, which only cemetery staff, family members and close friends may have. In fact, among the Los Angeles-area cemeteries, Forest Lawn in Glendale is probably the least accommodating_to the pursuit of celebrity grave hunting. The graveyard's locked gates and strict policies have earned it the nickname the "Fort Knox of Cemeteries." For instance, its Great Mausoleum - resting place of WC. Fields, Clark Gable and Jean Harlow - allows visitors to grieve for their specific loved one, but then they must leave immediately. No wander ing or snooping around for celebrities. Such a policy, which is designed to protect the privacy and the dignity of the departed, leaves little room for Hollywood Underground members to maneuver. Members try to sneak in quietly, but nearly every member has a tale about being chased off by Forest Lawn staff. "There's one (staff member) I avoid as much as I can," said Anne Parisi, 33, of San Diego. "She doesn't put up with anything . She can tell who you are and what you are there for." Most members would probably stay away but can't, because the Glendale cemetery inters most of old Hollywood's most famous dead. "It's hard to believe they

You will see that whoever will be snared by the aroma of your cookies will sacrifice almost anything to get just one in their possession. This is the golden opportunity to get the coveted silk shirt your roommate keeps in a plastic protective cover (only worn for costume, of course) out of her closet and into yours . Cookies can also play the role of a peace offering. Is there someone you have not spoken to in years? Bring them a plate of cookies and instantly you will be chatting as if nothing ever happened. This is especially popular between girls. D id you accidentally spill grape juice down the front of your best friend's imported white blouse? No problem. A plate of cookies will put that minor mistake in the past. After all, your friend will quickly realize the plate of cookies has a deep, sentimental meaning that expresses your profoundest apologies . But the cookie doesn't stop there, oh no . A plate of cookies can be used as a cheap birthday present, a reward, payment for a debt, a pass at the opposite sex and much more. The options are limitless. You j ust have to use your imagination. I bet you didn 't realize before you read this the significance and power of a cookie. Don't worry - it' s a common mistake. But now that you do know and your mind has been enlightened, use cookies in your favor and not just as a means to fill a sweet-tooth craving. You ' ll find their powers exceed your expectations . And they go great with milk.

It's a defense members have had a lifetime to prepare. Many acquired a fascination for and comfort with cemeteries during childhood . As a youngster growing up near Boston, Goldstein remembers visiting the gravestones of Paul Revere, John Hancock and Louisa May Alcott. Then he collected headstone rubbings - a kind of signature produced by putting a piece of paper upon a headstone and lightly penciling over it. "I had cousins who lived across the street from a cemetery and we used to play there," said the sales manager for a payroll company . "I guess I never grew out of it." Group member Lisa Burks has enjoyed soaking up the tranquil atmosphere of cemeteries since visiting the graves of her grandmother and grandfather as a preteen in Michigan. "I always found it very peaceful in cemeteries ," said Burks, 39, a press manager for NBC Entertainment. "For me, it's like gardening or going to the beach with a book." The other common thread among members is a love for old Hollywood. Over time, members develop loyalties to certain cemeteries and graves. Goldstein prizes the Douglas Fairbanks Sr. grave at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Burks' No. 1 is Harlow's site at Forest Lawn Glendale. "I ~ess my favorite would be Al Jolson (at Hillside Memorial Park) ," said Parisi. "He's got a big waterfall and that little sculpmre. I guess basically you could say he proved you can take it with you."

From Page5 other rabbits have heen injected with the GFP gene in embryo, said the project's lead scientist, Louis-Marie Houdebine. Over the past five years, GFP has been used in plants and animals worldwide because its glow-ability helps scientists study cell proteins. GFP can be injected into stem cells or embryos, says Gordon Hager, a scientist at the National Cancer Institute who uses GFP to study hormone receptors. GFP is nontoxic and apparently has no disruptive effect in its hosts. But what about Alba? Kac maintains that she §erves no scientific purpose. He says he spurred the laboratory to create Alba specifically so he could showcase her at an art exhibition in Avignon this summer (she didn't get to go), then take her home. Houdebine - apparently contradicting statements he made last month to the Boston Globewhen he backed up Kac's story - says Kac is mistaken. He says he created Alba, born last January, for the purposes of experimentation by mating one rabbit already injected with GFP with a normal animal. Houdebine says Alba was

never meant to go home with the artist. He did intend to lend Alba to Kac for the exhibition in Avignon, Houdebine said, but backed down when his higher-ups balked. What's more, Houdebine adds, the photo of Alba on Kac's Web site (www.ekac.org) looks greener than she really is. Kac says he didn't alter it. " 'Alba' doesn't exist," Houdebine says. "For me it's rabbit No. 5,256 or so." In any case, these aren't pets, Houdebine says. "We can't have affection for" them. But Kac does. He says he visited Alba once before this controversy startedand now feels responsible for her fate. "Since then it has become sort of a custody battle," says Kac. It's also a philosophical battle. Because if Kac did "conceive" Alba, and she serves no scientific purpose, she could be troubling. How dare some guy make a rabbit glow? Some ethicists argue that altering a living animal's nature for no medical benefit damages the public perception of 21st-century science and threatens to demean the animal's life. But Kac says Alba is no

Kac says measuring the plant's microvoltage was a means to show that it, too, has consciousness of a sort. Which leads back to Alba. "My colleague in New York told me that we are about 30 to 40 percent similar in the genome to the mustard plant," says Kac, who finds such a link "humbling." But instead of emphasizing similarities, genetics now focuses on differences, he says. "All these notions of determin ism - the gay gene and the Jew gene, the intelligence and the obesity gene." Kac says he wanted to create Alba to move the questions surrounding genetic engineering into the art world.

Few of us would let a day passwithout brushing our teeth and eating foods which are goodfor our bodies.And if our oodies giveus a warning signal that somethingis wrong, we pay attention. Yet,fewof us payas much heed to our vehicles. When there's a warning sign - a puddle in the dri.veway,a grinding noise, a pull to the left - we are more likelyto acfopta "wait and see" attitude. Spendinga little time and money on your car now can savea lot more later. Here's an checklistto keep your vehicle healthy throu the comingwinter, and to increasethe ollar value of Old Breakdownif you are preparing to sell or trade it soon. - Checking the oil is one of the nicest thingsyou can do for your car, best done when it's warm, but not hot, from driving.Removethe dipstick,wipe and replace. Removeit again to checlclevel and color.Hit's thickand cloudy,changeit. An oil changeevery 3,000miles (or more frequentlyfor stop-~d-go ~ can help avoidcostlyvalve and pIStonrepairs. · While you're at it, change the oil filter, too, since it is coated with up to a quart of the same gunkyou are getting rid of. - Remember all those vehiclesyou passedthis summer,stranded by the side of the road, plumes

of smokegushing from beneath their hoods? They overheatedbecausetheir ownershad ignored the cooling system.Engines produce a lot of heat and the cooling system, made up of radiator and fun,works hard keeping engine and passengerscool. It needs coolant to do that. When the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap and run your finger inside the fillerneck. H your finger staysdry,add more fluid.Hyour finger gets covered with sludge,the cooling systemis a candidatefor a blowup.Have it drained, flushed and refilledwith clean, clear coolant or antifreeze. Also,checkradiator hoses to besure there are no loose or corroded connectionsor cracks.H the hoses crackwhen you squeezethem gently, replace them. - When was the last time you checkedyour transmissionfluid?It's as simple as checkingthe oil. When you pull out the dipstick,you should see red, not orange, brown or black.How about the brake fluid? Check the owner'smanual for the fluid with the proper boiling point. And, don't forget to refill the windshieldwiper fluid. Replace blades,too, if you have been noticing them streaking or JD.i.sgng spots in summer rain storms. - While you're under the hood, look around. H the engine compartment lookslike a coalmine,

• the spare, either. Remove it from the trunk to check its pressure. If necessary, top it off with the proper amount of air. You can do that the next time you take the car in for a wash or fill the tank. Remember, tire pressure changes 1 pound for every IO-degree change in the outside temperature, so it's important to recheck tire pressure after any sudden change in the weather, as well as to adjust to the new season. Check the pressure in the rest of the tires, too. .£1:>roperinflation will improve the ride. Each vehicle has a recommended inflation pressure; your owner's manual will tell you what it is. Every vehicle should be equipped with an inexpensive pressure gauge; leave it in the glove compartment, to use first thing in the morning, once a week. Higher pressure generally results in improved steering response and fuel economy, but it produces a stiffer ride and wears out the tread in the center. Lower pressure generally provides a smoother ride, but under-inflated tires lose shape and wear out at the sides. Under-inflated tired also waste gas, because more power is needed to push the car . Never, ever exceed the maximum load limit for your • tire, and always check tire pressure when the tires are cold. Even driving a couple of miles to the nearest gas station can provide a false pressure reading. Nor should you take out air when the tires are hot from highway cruising. It is normal for pressure to increase 6 or more pounds, and taking out air at this point can create dangerous stress on the tires. - This is a good time to rotate your tires. Regular rotation helps achieve more uniform wear. According to the AAA,it should be done every 6,000 to 8,000 miles,

uiiless your owner's manuaj recommends differently. A good rule of thumb is to rotate after every other oil change. Wheels and tires should be balanced at least once a year. Unbalanced tires can cause vibration, produced by the tires bouncing up and down on the pavement. This, in turn, can cause the car to pull and steer unevenly. Balancing is best done using a computerized machine. - Back in the passenger compartment, trash all that stray paper and paper cup scraps. Take the most powerful vacuum cleaner you can find and attack. Remove the floor mats and either clean or wash them outside the car. Road dust, coffee stains and fingerprints have no appeal any time of the year, so after you put the vacuum away, arm yourself with a spray vinyl cleaner and a soft cloth to attack the dashboard and seats. A good upholstery cleaner will do the trick on fabric seats; if you have leather seats, follow the manufacturer's recommendations. - Outside the vehicle, use an aerosol silicone spray to treat the weatherstripping around doors, windows and the trunk. Be sure to wipe away the excess. - Hose off the vehicle's undercarriage to prevent rusting from road residues. Either use as much water pressure as your system can muster or, if you have a movable lawn sprinkler that's low enough, simply set that under the car to wash what you can't reach. - Finally, wash the car. Ordinary dishwashing liquid in a bucket of water and a clean, soft sponge will do nicely. Then buff dry to a sparkle and treat yourself to a leisurely ride. You'll probably notice Old Breakdown is purring contentedly.

Still undefeated in-the BWC Offenseputs up largestnumbers of theseasonin win vs. Vandals AARON MORTON

Sports Editor

USU'S football team has proven itself a team to beat after Saturday's smashing of the University ofidaho 31-14 in Romney Stadium. After being picked to finish last in the Big West Conference by the coaches, the Aggies (3-4, 2-0) now find themselves atop the BWC standings. "This was as fine of a win as I've been a part of," said USU head coach Dennehy. "I was so proud of all the kids." "They whipped us," said Idaho head coach Tom Cable. "Give Utah State all the credit." USU nearly rewrote the record book offensively, racking up 569 yards. QuarterbackJose Fuentes not only threw for 421 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions - the most by an Aggie quarterback since 1993 - he also caught an 18-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter . Freshman wide receiver/running back David Fiefia threw the touchdown of a halfback option play to a wide open Fuentes. The play capped a 10-play, 99-yard third quarter drive that gave USU a commanding 24-14 lead with 3:23 left in the quarter. "We felt we had a chance to make a big play if they pressured us, and we did," Dennehy said. "The key thing is that [the USU players] expected to win." To start the drive, Fuentes threw, from deep within his own end zone, to a sprinting Aaron Jones for 32 yards. Jones caught eight passes for 233 yards, a career best. The senior burned the Vandal single coverage all through the game. At midfield, the drive stalled, giving USU a fourthand-one situation. Dennehy didn't hesitate and went for the first down and Emmett White produced, running for 2 yards and the first down. "We all started to show some ·confidence," Dennehy said. As for the trick play that scored the touchdown, the coach credited the hard work of the players. "We practiced three or four times that play - he didn't catch it once," Dennehy said.

Meanwhile, for the second week in a row, the USU defense played well. The Aggies' held the Big West's best offensive team to just 14 points, 17 fewer than Idaho's average. "[Idaho's] offen~e was good," said lineoacker Jesse Busta. "We knew they were going to get yards." And the Vandals (3-5, 1-1) did, racking up to 406 yards. But on the scoreboard, USU, won easily by stopping U of I on both its fourth-down conversion attempts and winning the field position battle. USU punter Steve Mullins (44.1 yards per punt) out-kicked Idaho's Ryan Downes (36.4). While the Vandals started on their own 20, 11, 12, 13, 30 and 17 to begin the first half, USU never started inside it's own 20 and started in Idaho territory twice.

-1993 I was inspired to write this poem after a trip to Bryce Canyon National Park in which I engaged in my all-time favorite sport - hiking. The word sport, as defined by The American Heritage College Dictionary, is "an activity involving physical exertion and skill, governed by rules or customs and often undertaken competitively." However, the second definition the dictionary lists defines sport in its purest form : It says, "an active pastime, recreation." Hiking is definitely physicalry exerting. Anyone who has hiked the Narrows in Zion National Park in a single day can attest to that. The last time I hiked the narrows, I could hardly walk just hours after finishing the route and most of the next day - but that won't deter me from ever going again. I thrive on that kind of stuff. As soon as I got back to the car from that trip, I started missing the hike. , The skills of hiking are knowing what to take and what route is best. For the Narrows, if a hiker knows anything, he or she will take a hiking stick - otherwise the going will be slow, difficult and he or she will get drenched while trying to maneuver down the Virgin River through what my dad refers to as "polished bowling balls." The skills of hiking can also be the rules. Rule No. 1: Always bring enough water. Many may argue that hiking isn't a sport because it isn't competitive. I disagree. When you go on a hike you are essentially competing with yourself and nature, and if you want, you can compete with your peers. ..E.ntering_theFiery Furnace in ArchesNational Park is a competition with nature. The last time I hiked in the Fiery Furnace last spring, I was one of only two people in our group of eight who had ever been there. When I hiked it six years ago, I found my way around without incident. However, last spring I learned the hard way that nature can play tricks on

Continuing its five-game winning streak, the USU women's volleyball team defeated California State University at Fullerton in three games Saturday night (15-9, 15-13, 15-3). The Aggies currently boast a 17-5 overall record, 7-2 in Big West Conference play. No. 22 USU, which is in second place in the BWC, took the lead early in game one, hitting .417 over CS Fullerton's .171 hitting percentage. At 147, USU kept the game interest ing by missing on four opportunities to claim victory. Junior Chtlsi.Ns:ves' kill earned the Aggies their final side-out, and they went on to win 15-9. The Titans came out stronger in game two, staying ahead of the Aggies until they tied the game at 7-7. The Aggies managed to sustain the lead, although never by a margin of more than three points. The game remained tight at 14-13 for four plays, until Neves killed the ball to end the game at 15- 13. Senior middle blocker Denae Mohlman said the Titans played smarter than she

had. expected. "T~ey're a better team than when we played them earlier in the season," she said. Head coach Tom Peterson said CS Fullerton played with excellent strategy; the Titans noticed USU's offensive scheme of using tips early in game two. "Teams don 't usually pick up on that so well," Peterson said. The Aggies dominated game three, posting a .765 hitting percentage, while holding the Titans to a negative .067. USU did not commit any errors in the third game. Peterson said he can't remember the last time the Aggies went error-free in a game. "I always tell the team that errors are a sin; we can't be doing that," Peterson said. A kill by senior outside hitter Melissa Schoepf ended the third and final game at 15-3. As a team, the Aggies hit .349 for the match. UC Fullerton hit .123. USU outkilled the Titans 52-40, out-dug UC Fullerton 42-35 and outblocked the Titans 11-4. "That's a good amount of blocks for three games," Peterson said. "But we're getting greedy with our blocks, we want more ."

Neves, Schoepf, Mohlman and senior outside hitter Amy Crosbie were team leaders in the match, each recording hitting percentages of .360 or higher. With her parents looking on from the crowd, Neves, a junior college ttansfer from Sheridan Junior College 1 posted 34 set assists, nine kills and a .533 hitting percentage. Crosbie said she looks to Neves to be a team leader. "She has surpassed all our expectations," Crosbie said. Neves not only mans her position as setter, but has also recently improved on her attack skills using dumps, Crosbie ~aid. 1 "I really love to dump," she said. "I never really got to do it before (at Sheridan JC) but now coach (Peterson) has it drilled into my head. Mohlman said the offense worked so well in the match because she and Neves were connecting. Neves agreed, saying they were better able to set the ball to Mohlman in ~e middle, rather than havihg to go to the outside hitters 1 "It's wonderful," Nevfs said. "That helped a lot." USU will conclude its sixmatch homestand on Mopday.

Hockeysplits two over the weekend JASON TURNER

Staff writer

Looking to improve on last weekend's 1-1-1 record, the USU hockey team got off on the wrong foot, falling behind early to the Provo Icecats (Brigham Young University) and San Jose State University. Although the Aggies were able to overtake the Icecats, the slow start proved costly against the Spartans. As a result, USU settled for a 6-4 victory over the Icecats Friday night in Provo, but fell to the Spartans, 4-1, Saturday night in Odgen.

SJSU4, USU 1 Despite what USU hockey coach Jerry Crossley called at least a dozen excellent scoring opportunities, the Aggies were only able to convert one, losing to San Jose State University 4-1 Saturday night at the Weber County Ice Sheet. "We had our scoring chances, we just couldn't put the puck into the net," Crossley said. The Aggies, hoping to improve on Friday's game

against BYU, came out flat, picking up a quick penalty. SJSU wasted no time capitalizing, scoring a goal against the short-handed Aggies to make the score 1-0. Following a nice glove save by the Spartan goalie on a shot by Rad Anderson, SJSU scored what would end up being the winning goal. USU would have a couple of golden scoring chances late in the period, led by forward Aaron Burrell, but was off on its shots. Aided by a Spartan holding penalty, the Aggies came out of the first intermission strong. Unfortunately for the Aggies, the Spartan goalie was aTsoup to the challenge, stopping shots by Anderson and Deryk Anderson and making a headsup play on a pass from Kelly Froerer to Burrell. "Their goalie played ajreat game," said Aggie forwar Tony Haughey . "He came up with some great saves, but we just couldn't put the puck in the net." Not only were the Spartans able to survive the onslaught, but they were also able to increase their lead to 3-0, fore-

ing the Aggies to press a little bit. That didn't deter the Aggies, whose persistence finally paid off on a goal by Haughey on a well-placed pass from Anderson. Haughey's goal, less than two minutes before the end of the period, fired up the crowd . Unfortunately for the Aggies, the momentum didn't carry over to the third period. SJSU came out strong, putting a lot of pressure on the Aggies' defense in the period's first five minutes. At one point, the Aggies were playing two men down, but were able to hold their ground. Although USU was able to withstand the Spartan attack for the majority of the period, SJSU would tack on one more goal with about three minutes left in the game. Crossley said although he was disappointed that the team wasn't able to find the back of the net, the loss wasn't a result of poor decision making. "I think our decision-mak ing is getting better," he said. "As a team we're making better decisions and are playing smarter. We just need to

score."

USU6, BYU4 Progressive improvement throughout the course of the game made the difference, USU forward DerykAnderson said as the Aggies overcame a sluggish start to fend off a determined effort by the Icecats. "To their credit, BYU played a lot better than they did the first game (last Saturday)," Anderson said. The Icecats took advantage of USU's slow start, taking an early 1-0 lead. However, the Aggies were able to score two goals of their own before the period ended. Even though the Aggies had a lot more shots on goal during the second period, Anderson said, they weren't able to increase their lead. Each team scored two goals, making the score 4-3 with USU on top entering the final period. "We had plenty of opportu nities to score, we just didn't capitalize on many of them," Anderson said. "The score wasn't indicative of what the game was like," he said.

Remains of last four soldiers killed in ship attack returned to the U.S. CHRISTOPHER THORNE

AssociatedPress

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. The remains of the last of the 17 sailors killed in a suspected terrorist attack on USS Cole were returned to the United States on Sunday for burial. Family members watched from the tarmac as pallbearers removed four flag-draped caskets from a military plane and carried them to waiting hearses before an honor guard. Two of the deceased were identified as Hull Maintenance Technician 3rd Class Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter, 21, of Mechanicsville, Va., and Fireman Apprentice Patrick Howard Roy, 19, of Keedysville, Md. Maj. Frank Smolinsky, chief of public affairs at the base, said he could not identify the other two sailors

whose remains were returned. The bodies will be examined at the Dover base for evidence and prepared for burial and then delivered to their next-ofkin. The remains of eight sailors have so far been returned to their families for burial. On Saturday, the family of Seaman Craig Wibberley buried the 19year-old near his hometown of Williamsport in western Maryland. More than 700 people, including Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, attended the funeral. "Whether you've been in the service for one day or 20 or 30 years, it's important to show that aJI of us are members of a family," said retired Air Force officer Susan Hankey Webb, who was those attending.In all, 17 sailors were killed and 39 others were injured Oct. 12 when an

explosion tore a 40-by-40-foot hole in the USS Cole while the destroyer was refueling in the Yemeni port of Aden. Authorities in Yemen have been searching houses and other locations believed to have been used by two suicide bombers and possibly others involved in the attack. A senior U.S. government official in Aden, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said a great deal of physical evidence had been found, though he wouldn't elaborate. Meanwhile, sailors on the USS Cole continued repair work on the destroyer while divers collected forensic evidence from the sea bed below the damaged ship. The 505-foot destroyer is to eventually be carried back to the United States on the deck of a "heavy lift" vessel.

Albrightmakesvisit to NorthKorea GEORGE GEDDA

AssociatedPress

PYONGYANG, North Korea - Em barking on a journey that seemed highly improbable just a few months ago, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright opened a two-day visit to North Korea early Monday in hopes of advancing her goal of a tension-free Northeast Asia for the first time in decades. No other secretary of state has visited North Korea and none of Albright's predecessors had even considered the idea because of the grim state of the relationship. Albright was greeted at Pyongyang's airport by North Korea's vice foreign minister, Kirn Gye Gwan. An 8-year-old boy wearing a red kerchief pre sented her with a bouquet of flowers. She quickly left the airport in a motorcade that included vehicles driven up from the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea. In between meetings with top North Korean officials, Albright planned to visit with kindergarten children and tour a food distribution site. Also on her agenda was a performance of the Pyongyang Acrobatic Circus. Albright left Washington shortly after mid night Sunday on the 17-hour journey to the North Korean capital, a city U.S. forces had reduced to rubble during the Korean War. It is now a metropolis with tall buildings and broad boulevards,

although with scarcely any traffic. If her talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong II go well, President Clinton will follow her to Pyongyang as part of an Asia trip next month, administration officials said. "We still believe there are very significant steps that have to be taken to meet the concerns the United States has," said a senior State Department official aboard Albright's plane, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "We have reason to believe that because of discussions that we have had that North Korea may be prepared to take some very serious steps." The official did not elaborate, but Albright's main concern is North Korea's missile development program \md its export of missiles to Iran and Syria. She will confer with Kim on those issues but officials said no agreements are expected. The United States is considering the creation of a national missile defense, partly out of concern that North Korea may some day direct ICBM's at American cities. North ·Korea has for years ignored American efforts to stop exporting missiies, and the possibility that the • Pyongyang regime may now be listening to these concerns has generated excitement among arms control advocates. ''North Korea may be the rr..osthistoric and important trip of her (Albright's) tenure,"

says Joseph Cirincione, of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. In Clinton's quest for a foreign policy legacy worthy of the history books, his initiative with North Korea seems more promising than any other, a turn of events few would have predicted six years ago when the two counties seemed close to war. Clinton has shown patience and diligence in seeking an accommodation with North Korea. His initiative has prospered, at least for the time being, because of a surprise willingness of Kim to reciprocate. Kim, perhaps motivated by economic catastrophe, has scrapped North Korea's policy of reclusiveness and has been reaching out not only to the United States but to other countries, most notably South Korea. In the process, Kim has shed the stereotypical view of him. Don Oberdorfer, a Korea expert at the Johns Hopkins School of International -Studies, said Kim was depicted in intelligence reports as an awful man who was "introverted and strange." But he showed himself to be "very confident and very poised" when in June he had his historic encounter with South Korean President Kim Dae-jung. Joel \VJt,a former State Department official who has visited North Korea 14 rimes, agreed that Kim has not lived up to his reputation as being "a little bit crazy."

Space shuttle in orbit for extra day MARCIA DU!liN

AssociatedPress

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Stiff wind prevented space shuttle Discovery and its seven astronauts from landing on Sunday, keeping them in orbit an extra day. By the way the forecasts look, they may end up staying even longer. Mission Control told commander Brian Duffy that the crosswind was strong and steady and not expected to change, and that he should aim instead for a touchdown on Monday afternoon. "The winds are not com plying with us," Mission Control said. "I understand," Duffy replied. Gusts of up to 22 mph

were whipping across the 3mile-long landing strip when flight director Leroy Cain called off efforts to bring Discovery home following its space station construction mission. NASA's limit for a safe shuttle touchdown is 17 mph. Even stronger wind is expected Monday. Rain and clouds, meanwhile, are forecast for the backup landing site in California; conditions there should improve by Tuesday. "The forecasts are both marginal at this point, but we'll come in ... and see how the weather looks," Cain said. Discovery has enough fuel and power to stay up until Wednesday. It's flight - the 100th in space shuttle history - began back on Oct. 11.

After a week of exhausting work at the international space station, the astronauts are eager to come home. Duffy and his crew installed a new docking port and an aluminum framework on the 240-mile-high complex, a job that required four spacewalks on four consecutive days.Their successful work paved the way for the arrival of the space station's first permanent crew, in just 1 1/2 weeks.American astronaut Bill Shepherd and two Russian cosmonauts are scheduled to rocket away from Kazakstan on Oct. 31. They will spend four months aboard the srace station, activating al its systems and working on a couple bad batteries.

Halloween costumes by Calvin Klein? Halloween is coming, and you parents know what that means! It means it's time for you to make fun and creative costumes for your kids! Otherwise you are not as By good as the other parents. Even as you read these words, competing parents - the kind of people whose homes have candles burning in front of statues of Martha Stewart - are hunched over their workbenches, creating costumes that require more time and effort than you spent planning your wedding. These are the parents you see on the "home and family" segments of morning TV shows just before Halloween: HOST: Our next parent is Mrs. Shirley Hamperwinkle, who has dressed her daughter, Tiffany, as an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower! What an amazing costume! However did you do it, Shirfey? PARENT: Well, Sue, first I forged 12,000 miniature steel girders in my home blast furnace, using ore I dug out of my garden. I assembled these girders using 2.5 million tiny handmade rivets with the help of my husband, Ed, before he ran off. Then I attached the tower to Tiffany using 147 surgical screws. HOST: But how does she take the costume off? PARENT (becoming agitated): Take it off? Take it OFF?? WHY WOULD SHE TAKE IT OFF??? This is the kind of parent you're up against. So you can't just throw some half-baked costume together at the last minute, the way we did in my childhood, when 80 to 90 percent of us kids stum-

bled around blindly on Halloween night wearing bed sheets with poorly aligned eye holes. We were supposed to look like ghosts, although this never made a ton of sense to me. I mean, ghosts are the spirits of dead people, right? Why would dead people wear bed sheets?Did they all die in an explosion at a hotel laundry? I preferred to trick-or-treat as a vampire, which I felt was much scarier. The problem was the plastic vampire teeth. I have a powerful gag reflex, so when people opened their doors, instead of being terrified by the awesome, bone-chilling specter of the Prince of Darkness, they'd see this short, caped person, retching. Their only terror was that I might throw up on their shoes. But getting back to my point: As a modern parent, you need to get to work on your children's costumes RIGHT NOW. Don't worry if you're not the "artsy" type! I have a really original and creative costume idea for you. Start by gathering together the following artsand-crafts materials: 1. Car keys. 2. Money. OK! Now drive to the mall and buy your child a creative and original costume that was originally created in a factory in Taiwan. You'll have lots of choices! For little boys, you may choose from the following: Superman, Batman, Spiderman, the X-Men, Licensed Character Man, Buzz Lightyear, Darth Maul, Rex Kilometer, Commander Strafe, Buck Gouge, Sergeant Groin, The Violence Squadron, the Legion of Compound Fractures, the Masters of Really Hard Face Punching, and Al Gore. For little girls, you may choose from the following: Ballerina Barbie, Princess

Barbie, Cheerleader Barbie, Presidential Intern Barbie, Bride Barbie, Severe Hangover Barbie, Minority Group Barbie, Joint Chiefs of Staff Barbie, Chest Cavity-Dwelling Alien Fetus Barbie, The Barbie Formerly Known As Barbie and Al Gore. Now your kids are all set for some real trick-or-treat fun! But before you let them leave the house, the U.S. Department of Consumer Nervousness reminds you to follow these important HALLOWEEN SAFETYRULES: - Be aware that many municipalities have established special dates for trickor-treati ng. For safety reasons, these dates are never on Halloween. Some of them are closer to Easter. - Make sure each child is carrying a fire extinguisher and wearing a headmounted smoke detector. - Trick-or-treat candy may have been tampered with, so you should take it away from your children, check it carefully, then eat it. - Never allow your children to trickor-treat at night, or in dangerous areas such as outdoors. Remember: The important thing is to have fun in a safe and federal manner. Even you adults can join in the Halloween fun! Why not think of a clever and topical costume? For example, if you're a fat hairy man, you can walk around naked; if the police stop' you, simply explain that you're trick-ortreating as the guy who won the million dollars on "Survivor." I'm sure the police will applaud your cleverness! Then they'll take you to a place where you can make your one phone call. To Defense Attorney Barbie.
