behavior modification, not just weight loss, Harris said. 'We should be living so we don't get heart disease or cancer," said Brooke Parker, Registered Dietitian at Utah State University. Parker sees about two to three students a day who have eating disorders or need help managing a healthier way of living. She also teaches an evening class called, "USU's Healthy Weigh, " which focuses on nutrition and exercise. The biggest myth with dieting is that food is either good or bad. "Food is an inanimate object," Allen said. It is the choices that a person makes that are either good or bad. The way a person is raised will have a huge impact on his or her eating habits, said Cynthia Allen, health educator. Changes in lifestyle may be a result of leaving home cooking when students move. Drastic changes in lifestyle that cannot be maintained permanently can be dangerous, Allen said. Fad diets, like the popular Atkins diet, may show results fast, but can be harmful to the body. Worldwide, 20 million people have followed the Atkins diet, according to the Atkins Diet Web site. The Atkins Diet restricts food high in processed/refined carbohydrates, including breads, pasta, cereal and starchy veg~ etables .

These nutrients make up 50 percent of many diets, according to the Atkins Diet Web site. The diet works off the idea that a person who wants to lose weight must drastically reduce this 50 percent, but that's not healthy, Harris said. "First, our body requires certain nutrients and uses these nutrients from food. Second, When you cut down carbohydrates, you are eliminating vitamins and minerals that you need, " Harris said. Diets promoting weird food combinations or avoiding certain food groups should set off warning bells, Harris said. Diets that emphasize foods high in protein, which are often also high in cholesterol and fat, are harmful to the heart . The body doesn't need that much protein. It makes the body work harder than it

Students join continuing fight to keep Utah tuition low LARA GALE Copy Editor

More than 500 students from every college and university in Utah united in front of the Board of Regents Friday at Weber State University and pleaded with the allvolunteer group of student/legislature liaisons to support Utah stu dents and fight to keep tuition down . 'We buy books, we pay rent we can't handle 4 percent!" was the rally cry led by Jess Dalton, presi dent of Associated Students of the University of Utah. He and other members of the Utah Council of Student-body

Presidents formally presented the council's stand on tuition increases before the Board of Regents in the Ballroom of the WSU student center, supported by rallying students who filled S00 chairs and standing room in back. Ear ly next year, the Utah State Legislature will hear a two-tiered proposal to raise tuition in Utah . The first part of the proposal calls for a tuition hike of 4 percent to 27 percent in every Utah college and university. The second part of the proposal asks that each institution's president have the authority to further increase tuition. UCSP members agree both tiers are important, but the first tier

increase must be lower than 4 percent if students are to be able to pay the amount added by the president, Dalton said. "If the second tier means an increase of more than 4 percent, they can't ask that of us," he said. 'We have to increase tuition, no doubt about it. We have to be fair to the faculty, the presidents, and the staff," Dalton said. "But we also have to be fair to the students . " Dalton asked which students in the audience worked full or part time and anended classes full time . The Regents watched a roomful of hands raise. "This is a plea for the Regents to convince the legislature that there

are other means," Dalton said. The Regents said they were impressed by the presentation and the turnout of students and commended the student-body presidents for organizing voter registration on every campus. "This is the best student involvement I have ever seen," said Regent David Grant. "I'm very impressed . This is one organized group." The board asked the studentbody presidents to continue to push the direct link between students and the government bodies making decisi9ns about their futures . Students â–şSEE RALLY

Democratsaim at Bush'scredentials, Republicansrest up for finalweek SANDRA SoBIERAJ

AssociatedPress MACOMB, Mich. (AP) - While the Republican side mostly rested on Sunday, Democrats Al Gore and Joseph Lieberman blanketed TV talk shows, rocked Detroit's black churches and motored through Michigan with a blunt homestretch message: "George Bush is not ready to be president of the United States." lipper Gore appealed to those who don't see her husband's personal appeal, telling Macomb County's swing voters the presidential election is not "The Dating

Game." "You don't have to fall in love with Al Gore - I already did that," she said before boarding a bus caravan with the vice president, running mate Lieberman and his wife Hadassah. At home in Austin, Texas GOP Gov. George W. Bush interrupted his day off to address California Latino supporters by satellite. He predicted he'll beat Gore there because he is working to earn every vote while Gore, who will make a late dash to California on Tuesday, has taken the state's 54 electoral-vote grand prize. President Clinton, banished to the wings, preached at two Washington-area black churches, trying to excite likely Gore voters to turn out on Election Day. The latest polls give Bush a narrow but notable edge in a race that has seesawed since the summer conventions. State polls dramatize the historic closeness of the contest: Gore appears ahead in Florida, Bush up in Ohio and other battlegrounds still tight tossups. With nine days left in the campaign, the rhetoric got even sharper, with Lieberman flatly asserting that Bush is not ready to be president. "Maybe someday, but not now. Now George Bush is not ready to be president of the United States, the kind of president you need and deserve," Lieberman told a

rally on ·the lawn of Macomb County Community College, repeating lines he used on three network morning shows. Mrs. Gore, who normally keeps her introductions short and sweet, also piled on, saying voters want experience and "somebody who understands foreign policy." Ralph Nader, the Green Party candidate who is pulling support from Gore among liberals in key states such as Michigan, where Gore has a slight edge, dismissed him as ineffectual. "If Gore cannot beat the bumbling Texas governor, with that horrific record, what good is he? What good is he? Good heavens, this should be a slam dunk," Nader said on ABC's "This Week." Gore previously had left it to lower-profile surrogates to question whether Bush's 5 l/2 years as governor with limited state constitutional powers qualify him to be president. Aides did not rule out that Gore himself would take up the charge, if he makes no headway in the next several days. Late Saturday night, Gore signaled the shift in focus in commenting on his endorsement by The New York Times, which said Bush's knowledge and resume were lacking. "My already high estimation of the New York Times has risen even further," Gore told reporters aboard Air Force Two. He is "now throwing every negative kitchen sink at the governor he can find," complained Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer, who said Bush's final-week theme will be "bringing America together." Underscoring his confidence, Bush will campaign in New Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington state, Minnesota and Iowa - all states that Democrats traditionally win in presidential elections. His parents, former President Bush and first lady Barbara, will be out on the trail, too, along with former Sen. Bob Dole, the 1996 GOP nominee, and wife Elizabeth Dole.

At home in Austin, Texas, Bush went to church hand-in-hand with wife Laura, took a back pew and a hymnal. Outside Tarrytown United Methodist Church, he told reporters there was nothing like being around friends "you can count on" and "a little spirituality to prepare my mind for the final week. "Keeps life in perspective - properly in perspective, I might add," Bush said. From campaign headquarters, Bush addressed more than 200 Latino Republicans meeting in Anaheim Hills., Calif., by satellite TY. "While my opponent has been busy counting the votes of California, we've been working hard to win them," said Bush, who will campaign Monday and Tuesday in the biggest state, where a GOP upset would cripple Gore. "It's becoming pretty clear that the vice president is taking California for granted," he said, noting that Gore has now changed his plans to go there on Tuesday. "I hear he's going to rush in at the last minute," Bush said. Gore told Detroit church worshippers: "The next nine days will determine if we have grown weary in doing good .... We have left Egypt but we have not yet arrived in Canaan." In Washington, Clinton told churchgoers "there are differences in education policy, in health care policy, in environmental policy, in crime policy, and our foreign policy, arms control, how we relate to Africa and the rest of the world, just a ton of things here." "Now, you need to know and you need to show on Election Day!" Gore also met privately Sunday morning with Michigan's influential ArabAmerican leaders, some of whom have endorsed Bush and have been alarmed by Gore's recent pro-Israel statements. Gore assured them of his "even-handed" approach to the Middle East, participants said.

Rodeoshowcasesnew bus for CacheValleyresidents MATTHEW FLITTON

Staff Writer

Logan Transit District showcased a new bus model meant to serve Cache Valley routes and gave the public the opportunity to drive a bus Friday at a bus rodeo. Thad Neilson, a driver for the LTD, was(leased with the new mode . "It drives really nice, " he said. "The long wheel base would be kind of a pain in the city, but since it's for Cache Valley [Transit District], it's I, »

great.

Because buses turn more corners in a city, shorter buses are bener. , But on country roads like those in Cache Valley, longer wheel bases are not a problem. The bus is on its way to Ohio, but LTD officials borrowed it for this event because it is the same model as the buses the county will be getting. Ron Bushman, director of the Logan Transit District, said they have already ordered

three of the new buses. Jay Aguilar, transportation planner for the Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization, said Logan will buy the buses and charge the CVTD for them. 'We ordered them before this [Cache Valley Transit District] was on the ballot. Logan will use them if it doesn't pass, " he said If the proposal to extend bus services to cities from Richmond to Hyrum passes, Hyde Park City Mayor Mark Daines said he plans to use the bus for his daily commute from Hyde Park to Richmond. "It'll only be about five minutes longer by bus than by car, " he said, "and getting 20 minutes more of sleep would be the cat's meow for me." A $10 gift certificate to Juniper Inn was the prize for the person who could best maneuver the bus through a training course of traffic cones designed for various driving situations. Scott Wells, a councilman for Nibley City, won the cer-

Robert Arcola says he paid the price for his obsession with online comics. "I ended up dropping classes my senior year because I would stay up until five in the morning looking at comic Web sites," says Arcola, who graduated from Ball State University in May. "I had to take a couple classes in the summer to make up for it. I felt pathetic." Arcola's not alone. A recent study says that l Opercent of college students may spend too much time online, resulting in missed classes and social isolation . These results may seem to come as no surprise. Much Internet and computer technology is developed on college campuses, which are updated in order to lure potential students by being state-of-the-art. Meanwhile, students are encouraged to use campus email and electronic research

systems to their advantage. Even the media associates college students with living life online, from a commercial show~ng.a student ordering a car via his computer, to Kozmo.com, which comes close to eliminating any need to leave one's dorm room . Kenneth J. Anderson, a psychologist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, in Troy, N.Y.; decided to conduct a study on how much time college students spend online. He had been counseling a student who flunked out after spending an average of 18 hours a day online. The student talked about other problems he had, such as depression, missed classes, clashes with his parents, and lad: of sleep. "Interestingly, while he did not know his next-door neighbors, [he] drove to Tennessee, some 1900 miles roundtrip to meet a women that he met during MUD conversations," says Anderson.

Randal O'Toole, transit expert and Merrill visiting professor at USU, will present data regarding the downside of County Measure No. 1, a new tax for transit at a public meeting Wednesday . O'Toole is the author of "Rails to Nowhere: The Utah Transit Tax," a new study from the Sutherland Institute and the Institute for Political Economy. The report explains how Davis, Salt Lake City and Weber County residents can have a better transit system if they vote against the tax measure and why it may disadvantage/oor, elderly and disable bus riders and taxpayers at all income levels. People for Sensible Transportation, a group that supports County Measure No. 1, will have a representative present to respond to O'Toole's comments. The meeting will be held at the Utah State Capitol, Room 223, at noon. No RSVP is required and all are welcome to attend. For more information, contact Deborah Moeller at (801) 281-2081 .

"However, sometimes they just lose track of time, as anybody does. They have more independence, there is nobody telling them when to do their homework, or go to class, or go to bed, " says Anderson. From 1998 to 1999, Anderson surveyed 1,300 students from American International University; Black Hawk College, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rensselaer, Siena College, the State University of New York campuses at Albany and Buffalo, and the University of Ulster, in Northern Ireland (see survey results.)

Three-day search failsto findboy SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A 2-year-old boy who was left in a car while his father went hunting was still missing Sunday after a three-day search by dozens of law enforcement officials and volunteers. As hope faded that the toddler would be found alive, authorities brought in horses Sunday to help widen the perimeter of the search in the mountainous area of Summit County, which has an elevation of about 8,000 feet. Helicopters and police dogs are already part of the effort. Paul Wayment left his son Gage asleep when he went hunting Tliursday morning in the Chalk Creek area above Coalville. He told police that when he returned an hour later, his son was lillSSlilg.

Besides the rainy, freezing weather and possible snow, searchers feared cougars or bears might have gotten to the boy, who was wearing blue pajamas and had no shoes. Investigators were also looking into the possibility the boy had been abducted. On Friday, authorities drained a small pond near the spot the boy was last seen but turned up no sign of

ClotheslineProjectraises abuse awareness JULIE SULUNGA

Staff Writer

"I was only 13, Why did you do it to me? I thought you really loved me." Shirts decorated with messages like this one hung throughout the Taggart Student Center's International Lounge last week as part of the Clothesline Project. The Women's Center organized the display, which bears witness to violence against women. The shirts were designed by victims of violence and people who had loved ones fall victim to violence or sexual abuse. The Women's Center provided the shirts and paints, pens and sewing materials to decorate them with. The shirts the Women's Center provided were separated into colors depending on which crime a woman had been a victim of. There was white for women who died of violence, yellow or beige tor battered or assaulted women. There were red, pink Of orange for women who had been raped or sexually a aulted, and blue or green or survivors of incest or ch d sexual abuse. There was a o purple or lavender for women who had been attacked because of their sexual orientation. "This project provides women with a way for them to have a voice, and it is part of the journey to heal," said Janet Osbourne, director of

the Women's Center. "It is very empowering for women to go through this process." Jane Smith (name changed) was sexually molested at the age of 5 by her grandfather and at the age of 9 by her uncle. The cycle of abuse has been carried on to her daughter as well who was molested on two occasions at a young age and then abused by her husband. "I think because I was sexually abused, I felt that I always owed men something if they took me out," Smith said. Smith said she was later abused by her three husbands. At the time of the abuse, she was living according to the principles of her church. There is no way to keep abuse from happening even if you do go church, nobody gets to decide who gets abused and who doesn't, she said. "People expressing things in these T-shirts are people living with [abuse] every day, and that is what students need to realize," Smith said. Smith said women involve themselves in this project because it is an anonymous way to relieve their pain. Women keep abuse a secret because they are embarrassed, she said. It may not go along with the religion they are supposed to be living, and they don't want others to know. "There is a great need in Cache Valley for awareness and services to help victims," said Amy Christensen, a

An edge in finding a job is important to students graduating from college, and a club on campus is helping students achieve that goal. The student chapter of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) has been a club on campus for the past two years. It is part of the professional chapter, which has membership throughout the country. A few years ago, Utah State University received a grant of $450 from ASM to start a student chapter, said Dale Barnard, the USU adviser for ASM. ASM's mission is to first, continue promoting undergraduate research; second, to increase membership; and third, to provide career opportunities in microbiology. "It's a well-known organi zation," said Nate Whittaker, president of USU's chapter of ASM. "On a resume it is important, especially for premed or anyone applying for a master's in science. For students who apply to medical school it is a must if they want to be competitive to have undergraduate research." In the club sn1dents are able to find undergraduate research jobs through professors on campus. Last year the club's main focus was on undergraduate research. This year USU has assigned Joyce Kinkead, associate dean of the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, to be in charge of all undergraduate research programs. Her duties include helping students find research projects and overseeing them. Other clubs on campus have seen the program's benefits and have started promoting it also, Whittaker said. Undergraduate research gives students lab experience performing procedures that are taught in classes.

"We can direct students through the process of finding undergraduate research," Whittaker said. Joining a club where members have the same interest and goals gives students the opportunity to develop friendships, Whittaker said. The club is still developing and is open to suggestions from students as to what they want in a club, Whittaker said. Last week, the club helped trick-or-treat for canned food, a project sponsored by the Val. R. Christensen Service Center to give Thanksgiving dinner to needy families in Cache Valley. "Students thought it was

a really good idea, and could see the need to help the less fortunate citizens of the community," Barnard said . The club is open to anyone who is interested in microbiology regardless of their major for a fee of $10. The club meets once a month. The next meeting is scheduled for the end of November. A guest speaker from Gossner's Cheese Factory will speak on microbiology. Becoming a member while still in college opens up access to apply for student travel grants, fellowships, young individual awards and allows one to use the career placement office, Barnard said.

gives to them and what they can give back. Wicca also focuses on the natural energies that lie within our bodies. The power that is in ourselves can be brought out, used and mastered as a skill called "Magi·ck." The majority of Wiccans use Magick because it is a integral part of being a witch. Every witch knows the universal rule that whatever energy they send out will come back to them times three. This can also be called "Karma." The book describes this as "a rule that puts our behavior on display so that we can learn from it." Negative output equals negative input, positive output equals positive input. Most Wiccans don't believe in channeling their energies into negative actions. Becoming Wiccan can be a good goal if one is totally dedicated to the Craft. Being in touch with nature, maintaining positive relationships with all things, giving and receiving with Mother Earth and being able to cast spells that will improve the quality of life are all basic Wiccan philosophies. Who wou ldn't want to be a witch? If all you are going for is a scary costume for Halloween, at least now you know there is a long history behind the warts, the robes and the magical spells that people have misunderstood for centuries.

Twentysomethings startingbusinesses in droves SUSAN STROTHER CLARKE

Knight-Ridder Tribune

Entrepreneurship is cool just look at who's doing it. Generations X and Y, which many thought would slack their way through their parents' savings, are starting businesses like, well, their jobs depend on it. Baby boomers may whine about the work habits of young people, but they do so at their own risk. One day, the gray heads may be answering to the gel set, as the under-30 crowd adds the word "owner"

to business cards. Generation X is defined as anyone born from 1965 to 1976; Generation Y as those born after that period. As a group, those born after 1970 have launched or purchased nearly 5 million businesses in the past five years. Those 25 or younger start about 300,000 businesses annually. Technology, better education and a greater willingness to take risk have shaved years off the entrepreneurial timeline. Twenty years ago, most new entrepreneurs were 35 to

45. Today, they are as likely to be among the wrinkle-free set, with people 34 and younger accounting for more than 40 percent of all business starts. The logical conclusion? Legions of newly minted college graduates are opting to be in charge, preferring to sign a paycheck rather than collect one. They don't want the insecurity of relying on others for a job.

►BusINFSS From Page 5 a geek. Now, it's the norm," said Brien Biondi , executive director of the Young Entrepreneurs' Organization in Alexandria, Va. "Today, people come out of school thinking, "I'm going to start my own business."' Nationally, tech -savvy kids barely old enough to vote have grabbed the most attention, turning a passion for computers into the dot-com darlings of investment portfolios. What's sparking all the activity? Technology plays a pivotal role. Young people who have been banging on computers since they were in grade school can start a computer company with as little as $1,500 for hardware and software. Of course, young entrepreneurs face a unique set of

risks. Obtaining financing is more difficult and learning how to market products to older customers is a challenge, too. But the greatest difficulty may be th~ lack of experience and matunty among young owners. When entrepreneurs in their late 30s and 40s hang out shingles, they typically do so after working a decade or more in a larger business. They've observed how a company is run - and on someone else's nickel, to boot. "Straight out of college, you will not have the same perspective and experience with regard to how to make your business grow," said Charles Hofer, a professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Georgia in Athens. "That's a challenge."

Los Angeles Times

Back when he was working toward a doctorate in the philosophy of aesthetics and teaching at the University of California, Irvine, John Langley seemed an unlikely candidate to preside over a criminal empire. Yet the producer is doing precisely that, parlaying "Cops" - the cinema verite primetime series heading into its 13th season on Fox - into additional crime-related programming as well as an ambitious new Web site, Crime.corn, which Langley has launched in conjunction with the Court TV network. At a rime when so-called "reality'' programming has become network television's flavor of the moment, "Cops" has remained an unsung staple of Fox's lineup, forming a programming block with "America's Most Wanted" that simply won't die, outlasting half a dozen entertainment presidents and several attempts to pare the shows down or eliminate them. "We're old hat. We're institutionalized. We've become positively respectable," Langley said, laughing at the thought. "In the early days we were controversial, edgy - all of those things. That got lost in the shuffle over the years because of all of the imitators." The idea that crime can become its own distinct programming brand provides a notion of just how finely categories will be sliced and diced in the Internet age. Langley, who once aspired to establishing a crime TV channel, concedes he isn't sure where this trend is heading but wants to plant his flag now and be there when the smoke clears from the much-anticipated convergence of television and computers. Drawing on Langley's vast library of "Cops" footage, Crime .corn, www.crime.com, also will feature original prognuruning culled from a vast network of contributors around the country. "It's not as fully digested or analyzed," Art Bell, Court TV's executive vice president of pro-

grarnming and marketing, observed in comparing the site to his own network's Internet presence. "It's raw footage. This is more 'You are there.' " Crime.corn has already spurred controversy by carrying footage from a "jail cam" in Maricopa County, Ariz., which the local sheriff, Joe Arpaio; has characterized as a crime deterrent. Civil libertarians, by contrast, have expressed outrage about the cameras violating the rights of suspects. As he enters this new phase, Langley freely admits he wasn't following any grand design when he started out. A onetime English student who intended to become a professor, he stumbled into documentary films while working on his dissertation. He later produced specials for Geraldo Rivera before introducing "Cops" with his former partner, Malcolm Barbour, in 1989 on the thenfledgling Fox. "I never set out to be in the crime space," he said. "I'm a documentarian at heart. I'm a producer. I like to make shows and direct them. Sometimes we never know what our path is until we're on it. I ended up doing a lot of crime-oriented stuff, and as a consequence I'm now 'Crime, c'est moi.' I get a chuckle out of it." "It's about as pure as it gets in terms of documentary filmmaking," Langley said regarding "Cops." "I didn't invent cinema verite, but I did sort of inaugurate video verite for network television. There had never been a show on network television that had no narrator, no host, no script. This was the first time this worked on television, and it continues to work because of its purity." As one of reality programming's elder statesmen, Langley takes exception to lumping "Cops" in with every other program that doesn't feature professional actors. "Everybody throws everybody in the so-called 'reality' arena in the same pot," he said. "I think there's a world of difference between 'Survivor' and 'Cops,' or 'Big l3rother' ~pd 'Cops.' ... Langley is also quick to point out that he doesn't endorse everything the police

Utah State University students and Cache Valley residents joined the Indian Student Association in celebrating Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights, in the Taggart Student Center ballroom Friday night with dancers, musicians, a fashion show and a dinner of foods from India. Attendees came for the food, for the entertainment, to satisfy pure curiosity and to experience the culture of this growing segment of Logan's population. Jitesh Vaswani, a member of the International Student Council, said Diwali is a yearly celebration of light and darkness, of the power of good over evil. It happens when the moon reaches its phase of darkness. Candles were on the tables to symbol ized this idea. Many celebrators dressed in authentic Indian costumes, adding to the atmosphere of the evening. The program featured different facets of Indian cul-

do, though his own views about the percentage of corrupt or abusive cops have changed in favor of the police - thanks to his association with the show. As for suggestions that the glut of crime programming on television fosters a sense of fear that runs counter to the national trend - which indicates a decline in violent crime statistics - Langley said, "The good news is it's probably safer in this country than ever. The bad news is crime is democratic and will be with us forever." Crime.com will tap into some of those concerns, with everything from travel warnings to crime statistics and background checks available via the site. "It's a category with an incredible amount of interest,'' said Rob Kenneally, a former Fox executive involved in conceiving Crime.com who is now executive vice president at ReplayTY.

"That's about as good as you can do in the media. I' an old-fashioned humanist. I' not trying to propagandize anyone. I want what I do to cause people to think."

performances. The time and effort involved in the production was obvious. D'souza said this program showed the side of India that is magical and what most people imagine, but the reality is that the majority of India's people still live in poverty. Part of the proceeds will be used by ASHA, a program "dedicated to socioeconomic change in India," D'souza said. This program allocates funding to promote primary 1 education in India. ASHA is also the Indian word for hope. "We hope to bring the literacy rate above 52 percent," he said. Patrons donated about $300 at the booth outside the Ballroom that evening, D'souza said.

"Just bad luck." Head coach Stacey Enos said her team looked good throughout the whole game. "Taking a team like this into overtime shows that we've come a long way, and I'm proud of that," Enos said. Both teams were aggressive during the first half. Long Beach State got off eight shots at the net, while the Aggies

Catching the Aggies off guard, Long Beach State's Marisa Barragan knocked in an unassisted goal from 20 yards out just 43 seconds into the half. The Aggies weren't about to give up, though. The team was able to get five shots off on/oal throughout the secon half before senior Jayme Gordy found the net from 6 yards out off a pass from senior Ashley Cracroft at the 82:57 mark. Neither team scored in the final minutes of regulation, and the game was sent into overtime. During the first overtime period, the Aggies let off three shots on goal while LBSU let off two shots. However, the two teams were unable to convert the shots though, and the game went into double overtime.

USU on top of Big West after whipping ASU AARON MORTON

SportsEditor An uncharacteristic fir$t quarter surge allowed USU to hold onto a 44-31 win over Arkansas State University Saturday in Romney Stadium. With USU (3-0 Big West Conference, 4-4 overall) routing ASU 37-10 in the third quarter, the Indians (0-3, 0-9) scored three touchdowns on three drives to come within two scores. And ASU was driving to close the lead to six when Jesse Busta recovered quarterback Cleo Leomon's fumble in the endwne to secure the win. "We made that thing way, way more exciting than it needed [to be]," said USU head coach Mick Dennehy. But before that it was all Aggies, with Emmett White running all over the Indians to break his career rushing record with 202 yards on 26 carries averaging nearly 8 yards a rush. He also had 41 yards receiving in the game, but was disappointed with his kickoff and punt return yards - ASU made sure to punt the ball away from him. "You can't be too down with 200 yards," he said. The biggest highlight of the game came when White ran over Indian defensive back Hanis Bowens in the second quarter on his way to a 34-yard

run. "I had to switch it up from spinning," White said, "make them think." ASU was certainly thinking as that drive led to one of three 40-plus Brad Bohn field goals, giving USU an early secondquarter 20-3 lead. The Aggie offense looked confident early in the game, scoring on its first four possessions, dealing with a shortened field - thanks to a Blake Eagal interception and a poor punt - for the first two touchdowns and driving nearly 50 yards for two field goals. White keyed the first drive, scampering for 30 yards after catching a middle screen on third-and- I 4. On the next play, quarterbackJose Fuentes lofted an 11-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Jones, who caught it over his shoulder in the back of the end wne. After an ASU three-and-out drive, USU drove to the I-yard line where White walked into the endzone for a 14-0 lead. On that drive, Fuentes quarterMIDFIELDER ALLY CLEGG kicks the ball past a charging Cal Poly defender, Carla Burger. It was USU's first win over the Mustangs in school history./Zak Larsen photo

What broken hand? Jones keeps catching TDs JULIE ANN GROSSHANS

Staffwriter It is obvious that Aaron Jones can catch the football; the amazing thing is that he can do it with a broken right hand . Prior to each game, a doctor shoots Novocain into his hand so he can play. "I can't feel the pain, so it's not that bad," said Jones, a senior from Casa Grande, Ariz. "Ifl bang [my hand] good enough it will start to ache." Jones believes a lot of the pain is mental, though. He injured his hand throwing a block during a practice, but the bone is stable enough he doesn't risk any further damage. It is still painful, though. "The doctor said in about two weeks I shouldn't have to shoot it up anymore," Jones said. To relieve some of the pain and to move the focus, it is

With new players, Jazz will compete for title despite doubters 0£)

Vice President of Basketball Operations Kevin O' Connor, five new faces will be in Jazz uniforms this year - Donyell Marshall, John Starks, Danny Manning, rookie DeShawn Stevenson and former Jazzman John Crotty, as soon as he comes back from a recent knee injury. So far 35-year-old Starks looks the most promising of the acquisitions. He has been a hot shooter and a quick scorer in the pre-season, especially in the final two games, scoring 22 against the Philadelphia 76ers then 16 against the Dallas Maver icks. He will give the Jazz the shooting and scoring punch the team lost with the retirement of Jeff Hornacek. Marshall is a great addition as well. He gives the Jazz some rebounding ability that is sorely needed . Marshall didn 't put up big numbers in the pre-season - he averaged 7.8 points and 6.3 rebounds a game

Aided by an Aggie penalty, Ariwna State University scored the go-ahead goal in the final minutes against a resilient USU hockey team, winning the game 5-4 Saturday night at the Weber County Ice Sheet.

Unforrunately for the Aggies, the west goal proved to be a puck magnet for eight of the nine goals between the teams. "We just simply need to stay on our game - from the beginning to the end," said USU head coach Jerry Crossley. "Our biggest enemy is being [un]able to be consistent all the way through." Like USU's previous two games against San Jose State University and Brigham Young University, the Aggies started slowly and dug themselves in an early hole.

controlling the flow of the game. Although ASU was able to withstand the barrage for the majority of the period, the Aggies broke through. Aaron Sutliff ended the drought at the 4:46 mark on a shot created by a successful Aggie face-off. The goal jump started the Aggie offense as Burrell scored two more goals before the period ended, including an easy backhand passed a faked-out goalie. Burrell credited Sutliff for putting the fight back into the Aggies. He also said Anderson, who assisted two of the goals, helped create scoring opportunities. "The pucks just went my way and I guess I took care of business," he said.

However, like the SJSU game, USU wasn't able to carry momenrum over to the third period. ASU took a 4-3 lead early· the period on a shot by Craig Law and continued to put the 1 pressure on.

AssistantSports Editor

DION BAILEY WAS a crowd favorite in the dunk contest Friday night in the Spectrum. He won the contest./Liz Maudsley photo

Before the Utah State University men's basketball Hoops Fest Friday night at the Spectrum, USU head coach Stew Morrill took the microphone and thanked the fans for coming out. He told the approximately 3,000 spectators that USU is in the top 25 percent in the nation for basketball attendance and in the top 10th percent for student attendance. That attendance factor is one of the tactics he uses to recruit, he said, adding that he wants to see the arena packed night in and night out. In his remarks Morrill also answered some questions he is frequently asked. He said he gets questioned why he left Colorado State University to become the Aggie coach, and said he came to Logan and signed an eight-year contract extension because he's happy here. "Utah State is an unbelievable university," he said. Morrill warned the crowd about the high expectations for his team. "We cannot get too big for our britches," he said. When the scrimmage was over, Morrill's pre-game comments rang true. "I thought we played hard but we have to get a lot better if we are going to try and be the type of team that everybody thinks we are going to be," he said. While Morrill thought it was positive to play in a game-type atmosphere, he said his troops played sloppily and their execution was sporadic. The newcomers are still confused about the Aggies' system and "trying to survive out there," he said. "We're thinking right now instead of playing," he said. But he said his team has great character. "Good people will get better." The blue team, which consisted of the probable starting line-up - power forward Shawn Daniels, point guard Bernard Rock, shooting guard Tony Brown, center DimitriJorssen and small forward Curtis Bobb - dominated play in the second 10-minute half of the scrimmage. The blue squad out-scored the white 20-4 in the period on its way to a 33-14 victory.

Daniels, an all-Big West Conference first team selection a year ago, led all Aggie scorers with 14, whileJorssen wasn't far behind with 13. Brown won the 3-point contest during halftime, hitting IO treys to teammate Rock's five. Senior forward Dion Bailey won the slam dunk contest - to thunderous applause from the fans. In the scrimmage, Morrill said once his starters settled down and weren't trying to please the crowd they took control. Morrill said especially Bobb, who is battling Bailey for the starting spot at small forward, needs to employ more substance and less style in his play. Bobb needs to get "down to doing dirty work," Morrill said. "We've got to play blue collar if we're going to win," he said. Bobb said he won't be worried if he doesn't land the starting spot because he 'll still get plenty of play time. It doesn't matter what position he plays, he said, he likes playing both small forward and shooting guard. "They both shoot the ball," Bobb said. Shooting is just what Bailey worked on during the .summer. "If you want to play, you 've got to shoot," he said. There will be competition for the starting role every single practice , Bailey said. Morrill was impressed by Daniels, saying one of the 6-foot-6, 250-pounder's strengths is bringing the ball up the floor, which is hard to match up with in transition defense. With Rock as the only experienced point guard returning from last year, Morrill said he hopes he doesn't have to use Brown much at the point. "I'm encouraged by our freshman guards," he said. Those guards are Thomas Vincent , from Overland Park, Kan., and Calvin Brown, a native of East Palo Alto, Calif. Each had two points in the scrimmage and Calvin Brown dished out four assists. Daniels said the guards did a good job of giving him the ball. At the center position, Morrill said Jorssen is getting better all the time.

Cal Poly 3-1 Behind a triple-double from junior setter Chelsi Neves that included a career-high 24 digs, No. 19 USU defeated California Polytechnic State University in four games Saturday at Mott Gym, 16-18, 15-10, 15-10, 15-5. It was the first win ever for USU (19-6 overall, 9-3 Big West Conference) at Cal Poly (12-8, 6-5) as the Aggies swept the season series from Cal Poly. "I thought our defense played pretty well tonight and that is how we kept ourselves in the match," said head coach Tom Peterson. "It is nice to come back after a disappointing loss to Santa Barbara and finally play pretty well in California against a very good team." The win for Utah State marked the 19th time on the season that the Aggies have been victorious, which is the most wins by a USU team since the 1982 team won 28 matches. USU is currently 1.5 games behind first place University of the Pacific (10-1) with four conference matches remaining. ► SEE V-BALL

People nowadays don't hunt for food, they hunt for the kill scented cologne and about $150 worth of camping supplies. And what is all this for? Simple . It's for the satisfaction of killing. A hunter's excitement does not come from the meat he just claimed, but from the killing he just performed. He's excited about killing something bigger than himself. It's something hunters get off on. I'd like to share a few things with the 93 percent of Americans who are nonhunters or anti-hunters; did you know that hunters are invited into more than half of

The truth is that their little stamp purchase pays the animal kingdom pimps, a.k .a. the wildlife management system that manipulates livestock, herds and flocks for the killing entertainment of only 7 percent of the population. Millions of acres are taken over each year in America for the murder of animals. This land and nature refuges

are maintained by general taxpayer revenue, meaning 93 percent of the money doesn't come from hunters and their very important little' stamp. Then there is the suffering of animals that get wounded and run away. Most hunters can't track what they wound, so they let those ones get away and die painfully . Consider the waste that occurs during bird hunting. Before the break of dawn, trigger-happy hordes gather at lakes, ponds and wetlands to begin unloading shell after sheII into the sky to bring

down birds, which they can' t even tell what they are. A ll they know is they have the OK to shoot. Thousands of ducks and geese are wounded and left behind every year by hunters who prematurely fire their weapons and don 't want to travel out of range to pick up the bird.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1906-1945 AD . Dietrich Bonhoeffer was born in Germany in 1906. His father was a professor of psychiatry and neurology at the university of Berlin and thus Bon hoeffer grew up in an academic environment. He studied the.ology as a young man and by 1931 became a lecturer in systematic theology at the University of Berlin. Throughout his career as a pastor and theologian, Bonhoeffer opposed the Nazi regime. Hitler attempted to control the German church soon after the Nazi rise to , political power. Soon the church in Germany was divided between the German Christians (Hitler's puppet

Intelligence department failed in an attempt on Hitler's life, Bonhoeffer was linked to the conspiracy, imprisoned and eventually executed . Bonhoeffer's writings mainly focused on the theme of secularizing Christianity removing the distinction between sacred and secular. To Bonhoeffer, the Christian life was something essentially practical that could bring Christ's kingdom to Earth now and not only something to look forward to after death. During Bonhoeffer's time, the German church compromised I ittle by little to the Nazis until finally there was no distinction between the church and the state. Bonhoeffer and a few of his colleagues refused to compromise, but had the church as a whole not compromised, maybe the outcome would have been different or at least the church wouldn't have promoted Nazi ideals. So, the question is, how are we compromising? What areas are we surrendering to the leadership of the country that we should oppose? How is our passivity leading to our country's demise? Perhaps we can't even answer these ques-

tions. The way we live between TV, movies, social gatherings and other forms of entertaining ourselves - we'll never have the time to learn what we should oppose, let alone actually oppose it. Some more specific questions to think about: What's happening with Logan Canyon that we may be concerned about? Where did the beef come from in your B ig Mac from McDonald's last night? Where was the shirt you are wearing made? What was the working environment of the person who made it? We may not know the answers to these questions, but we can make a difference because each of us is already implicitly contr ibut ing to the evils our society practices. We 've already compromised.

the gun lobby claims, simply another word for the entire populace. Membership in the 18th century militia was generally limited to white males between the ages of 18 and 45. Furthermore, it is folly to think that the past misuse of power by the government at a time when there were fewer gun control laws than today - could have been prevented by armed citizens. It is even greater folly to think that a present-day misuse of power could be similarly prevented. The rights guaranteed by the Constitution have never been absolute. The First Amendment protects free speech, yet one cannot yell "fire" in a crowded theater. I doubt the Founding fathers envisioned a time when more than 30,000 people are dying each year from gun violence . A majority of Americans support reasonable gun control laws and view them as necessary to reduce the level of gun violence in this country. I think the framers of the Constitution would agree.

The National Cancer Institute recently stopped promoting mammograms in women under 50 years old because of the dangers associated with mammograms (which are a form of radiation and can contribute to cancer ). I'm not saying that mammograms are not good for anyone, just that they are not as safe for younger women, and they are being misinformed about the risks.

Parking protest is inevitable

1 _ bi

won't be a bit surprised if other fine American universi.ty students find themselves in the same predicament on that very day. Jerome Jenkins

Dear Editor,

On Thursday, my afternoon lab ran a little late and I totally spaced the fact that I had parked in the B lot where the band occasionally practices. I was outraged to find that it would cost $75 to get my car back . I apologize to the band, but $75 for a first-time offense is extremely excessive. I'm OK with the $50 towing charge, it's actually a discounted rate. However, I do have a problem with the $25 parking ticket. I'm sure writing down a license plate number and calling the towing company doesn't amount to $25. With my first-time offense plus original parking permit fee I have paid the Utah State University Parking Services $110 this sefT)ester. This is terribly wrong. I will not put forth any effort to right this wrong, because protest is inevitable. You see, my funds are running out. In the very near future I will park my brokendown vehicle in the band parking lot (I paid $35 for this right). By that time I won't have enough money to buy lunch. I will be forced to sell parts of my car such as the tires, license plates and my vehicle ID plate that sits on the dash. When the band comes to practice at 2:30 I will not have the means to move rpy car. I wonder who will pay the towing fee then. I certainly won't be able to. If my calculations are correct my economic situation will cause this all to happen on Nov. 6, and I

Second Amendment is often misconstrued Dear Editor, In answer to the critiques of my letter of Oct. 20, in which I urged voters to consider the apparent attitudes toward gun control displayed by the Bush/Cheney ticket, I wish to clarify a common misconception about the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It is often quoted by the gun lobby as follows: "The rights of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." This is a common and unfortunate abbreviation of the actual amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessaryto the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, ~hall not be infringed." When the U.S. Constitution was adopted, each state had its own "militia," military forces comprised of ordinary citizens serving as part-time soldiers. The militia was "well-regulated" in the sensethat its members were subject to requirements like training, supplying their own firearms and engaging in military exercises away from home. It was a form of military service intended to protect the new nation from outside forces and from internal rebellions. The "militia" was not, as

Don't compromise, always question authority church) and the Confessing Church (the church in which Bonhoeffer played a part). The Confessing Church opposed Nazi anti-Semitism and kept an ecumenical mindset in spite of the dominant belief in German superiority. The Confessing Church has an increasingly difficult time as World War II progressed. Hitler and the Nazis put more and more constraints on what the Confessing Church could do, until the church was no longer recognized and its seminary disbanded. Bonhoeffer was involved in setting up an underground seminary to continue to train German pastors, but that too was eventually found out and shut down . Bonhoeffer had the option to leave Germany during the war, but chose to stay, believing he couldn't hope to be an influence in rebuilding Germany after the war if he wasn't willing to suffer with the German people during the war. He was offered a position in the Military Intelligence department, which was secretly the center of the German resistance. When the Military

Mammogram snot best for youngwomen Dear Editor, In the article by Jessica Warren on Oct. 23 about mammograms, I was very disturbed to see th'at she was encouraging women under the age of 50 to get a mammogram to scr~en for cancer. In every study I've looked at, mammography is more of a cancer risk than a benefit if done before the age of 50.

·► FooTBAll From Page9 back-snuck for one of four fourth down conversions the Aggies made in the game. Despite giving up four touchdowns, the USU defense played well - especially in the first half. The Aggies held ASU, a team that averages 306 yards a game, to only 80 yards in the first 30 minutes. The defensive had its highlights. In the first quarter, Busta and Nate Pumam hit ASU offensive lineman Joe O'Bar, knocked off his helmet and pushed him into running back Jonathan Adams. "We defensed the heck out of them," Dennehy said. But the Aggie special teams had let downs as Bohn clanked an extra point attempt off the right post and the kick-off coverage team allowed returns of 92 and 57 yards - both lead-

ing to Indian touchdowns. "We didn't do a very good job covering kicks," [)ennehy said. The closest the visitors came was 20-10 in the second quarter, but an Emmett White touchdown with two seconds left on the clock shifted the momentum away from ASU. The Aggies scored on their first two possessions of the second half with another field goal and White's third touchdown of his career. USU commanded a 37-10 lead, but the Indians never gave up. "They fought their tails off," Dennehy said. Lemon seemed to find his target, BWC receiving leader Robert Kilow, late in the game. Kilow found holes in the USU zone, catching 10 yards for 102 yards.

USU 2, Pacific 1 The post-game reaction of Utah State women's head soccer coach Stacey Enos said it all Friday evening. "Yeah!" she exclaimed, raising both hands in the air. "It feels good." Enos' team had just defeated Pacific (9-7-2 overall, 3-4-1 Big West Conference) for the first time in the team's history, 2-1. The USU-Pacific all-time series now stands at 1-4. The win seemed almost too good to be true for Enos. "I was hoping they weren't calling this one back," she said. The victory didn't come easy. The team endured until the second sudden death overtime, the 114:12 mark, before sophomore Jessica Ebner slipped one past Tiger goal-

"They don't get any easier," Dennehy said. "We're just excited to be in [the hunt]."

keeper Megan Pickering. "I didn't even know what haplened," Ebner said of the goa. Ebner, a sophomore who transferred from Salt Lake Community College and is usually a defender, shined in the role she had to fill Friday. "She's strong," Enos said. "She can make things happen." The Aggies struck first in the contest when Carrie Neiderhauser found the net on an assist from Ashley Cracraft in the 21st minute. Pacific scored 20 minutes later on a goal by Gabriela Olivates. The two teams played to a stalemate in the second 45 minutes, forcing the overtime periods. The Aggies' attempted three shots in the second half to the Tigers' five. With USU not vying for the Big West title or an NCAA playoff spot, the victory was "all about Aggie pride," Enos said.

UCSB def. USU 3-0 Earlier this season, Utah State University defeated the University of California at Santa Barbara in three games. USU kept the second-place Gauchos scoreless in the third game and held UCSB to a negative hitting percentage. There is no doubt the Gauchos were looking for a payback when they faced USU Friday night at home. UCSB got its revenge. USU was defeated by No. 14 UCSB (9-2, 17-6)in three games (15-8, 15-8, 15-4). The loss snapped the Aggies' sixmatch winning streak. ''We made way to many mistakes tonight to play with a team like [UCSB]," Peterson said. USU never managed to be competitive in any of the three games, recording a .117 team hitting percentage for the match. The Gauchos hit .319.

"We should have been more aggressive," said corner back Adebola Jim oh. "They figured they had nothing to lose." In the fourth quarter, the second-string offense came in for a series, but ASU made the game close enough to bring the starters back in. "We looked at the scoreboard a little too much," Jimoh said. "We should have thought it was 0-0 and played that way. USU is still atop conference standings with a 3-0 record. Boise State University trails by only half a game with a 2-0 record.

JERUSALEM -A column of Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers rolled into the Gaza Strip and exchanged fire with Palestinian gunmen Sunday, a day of renewed clashes that left five Palestinians dead and dozens wounded. Amid the rurmoil, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak met Ariel Sharon, leader of the hawkish Likud party, in an attempt to forge a coalition government. No immediate agreement was reported. In Gaza, the Karni road junction resembled a battlefield with acrid smoke from burning tires darkening the air and tanks moving along the road, their occasional fire puncruating the sound of assault-rifle rounds. The army said it sent the armored column to secure free movement ofJewish settlers on the key road, which cuts through the strip and has been the site of violent Palestinian protests. The tanks responded to fire from Palestinian police by shooting from mounted machine guns, the military said. A 14-year-old boy and a 31-year-old man were killed, medics said. At least 25 people were injured overall in Gaza. "We've retaliated with tanks and helicopter gunships at certain points and we used them with consideration," said the army chief of staff, Lt. Gen. Shaul Mofaz. The military, he added, plans begin initiating action rather than reacting to gunfire. .Military officials said the army wanted to phase down its aggressive image and reduce friction with stone-throwing Arab youths, focusing instead on pinpoint struggle against armed Palestinian radicals. Also in Gaza, Palestinians set off a homemade bomb and fired at a bus carrying Jewish settlers near the Morag settlement. The army responded with fire, the military said.

NAZRAN, Russia (AP) A powerful explosion on Sunday tore through a Chechen cafe frequented by Russian troops, killing the owner and several patrons, a Russian news report said. Several Russian servicemen were in the cafe south of Chechnya's capital of Grozny t the time of the explosion, the lnterfax news agency reporting, citing officials in the town of Chiri-Yurt, 18 miles south of Grozny. It was not immediately known what caused the blast. In Grozny, the military commandant's office and Russian checkpoints came under small arms fire overnight from rebels in three districts, military officials said Sunday. The rebels also attacked the Russian Emergency Ministry units in Grozny, but there were no Russian casualties in any of the attacks, ITAR-Tass said. And three Russian soldiers were injured when a remotecontrolled land mine exploded in front of their truck, officials said. Chechnya's rebels continue to mount similar small but demoralizing attacks, despite Russia's claim that they are on the verge of military defeat.

shock to the Palestinian economy." Shtayyeh said unemployment in the West Bank and Gaza was 13 percent before the closures and that the areas have seen many layoffs since then. The Palestinian territories remain heavily dependent on Israel, importing $2 billion worth of goods each year from the Jewish state - 86 percent of total imports. Palestinian leaders are concerned about recent Israeli talk of a "unilateral separation," which would involve setting borders and possibly tightening economic restrictions. Palestinian Economic Minister Maher Al-Masri said economic relations should be "based on a free trade arrangement." Shtayyeh said there were measures the Palestinians could take iflsrael went ahead with unilateral separation and continued to maintain the closures. "We can let all the sewage flow into the Jewish settlements (in the West Bank), we can do all these unilateral measures as well," he said. On the political front, Barak began the day saying he was close to forming a parliamentary coalition that could prevent the collapse of his minority government. Barak is trying to finalize a deal with Likud in a bid to retain power and stave off early elections. "We have to move forward together to lead the state through the emergency situation that has emerged," Barak said in an interview with Israel's army radio. But his meeting with Sharon was inconclusive, and aides to the two worked frantically to forge a coalition before parliament reconvened on Monday following a three-month recess. The Knesset may pass a no-confidence motion that could bring Barak's government down. Sharon, who opposes Barak's land-forpeace policies, has been seeking a veto over future peace moves - a demand Barak has rejected, according to Israeli media reports.

Peru: Soldiers revolt, talcing five hostages WILL WEISSERT

AssociatedPress

LIMA, Peru - One day after President Alberto Fujimori dismissed the nation's three top military leaders in a bold move designed to bring Peru stability, a group of soldiers staged a revolt Sunday, seizing a southern mine and reportedly ~1:jve hostages - includmg an army general. Some 51 soldiers under the command of Lt. Col. Ollanta Humala joined three unidentified civilians in taking, then abandoning, the copper mining town ofToquepala, 535 miles south of Lima near the Chilean border, Lima radio and television stations reported. The soldiers said they were disgusted with Fujimori and the continued influence of his feared former intelligence chief, Vladimiro Montesinos. "I will lay down my arms when the chain of command is legitimate and there is a president who has been truly elected by the people to whom I would swear 'subordination and valor,"' Humala said in a statement, demanding that Montesinos be thrown in prison. Fujimori met Sunday with the new head of the army and chief of Peru's joint armed forces to discuss the military uprising, the presidential palace said. He made no public

comment. Peru has been in turmoil since the September release of a video showing Montesinos apparently bribing a congressman to support Fujimori. In the ensuing scandal, the president announced he would step down in July after new elections. The political crisis intensiired Monday, wh!!n Montesinos returned to Peru after a failed asylum bid in Panama and promptly went underground. Montesinos has a strong following in the Peruvian military, and rumors of a coup swirled: Peruvians debated whether Montesinos would allow his former boss to loosen the viselike control he had on the military, electoral instirutions and court system over the last decade. But two days later, Fujimori led a charge through a posh resort community outside Lima in hopes of somehow srumbling upon his former spy chief, a man who has made his living keeping out of sight. But there were no formal charges leveled against Montesinos. Fujimori then forced the resignations Saturday of the heads of the army, navy and air force - all rumored to be protecting Montesinos - in a move that quieted critics. The president also dismissed army Gen. Luis Cubas, Montesinos' brother-in-law as commander of Peru's Lima-

based tank division - a strltegic key to impede any coup attempt in the capital. · "Finally there is political will on the part of the presi~ dent to make changes m the army and to break with Montesinos," said retired Gen. Daniel Mora, who earlier criticized Fujimori's chummy relationship with his former top r

-~YE·

,r iu,

ven former opposition ~i presidential candidate AJejandro Toledo, who has been clamoring for weeks for Fujimori's immediate resignation, told a rally of supporters, late Saturday that Fujimori had taken "an important step to reestablish the credibility and the political strength of Peru." Many contend that Montesinos' continued military influence will keep him out of the president's grasp. Others wonder whether Fujimori's now four-day-old manhunt is a sham. And the president's choice of Walter Chacon, the interior minister who is a close associate of Montesinos, as the new head of the army drew criticism from human rights groups and political leaders. Sunday's revolt occurred 9 within the 6th Regional Command, the army's most powerful post, run by Montesinos loyalist Gen. Oscar Bardales. The command is headquartered in Arequipa, Peru's second largest city.

Palestinians were killed and four were wounded in clashes. The army said soldiers opened fire when the Palestinians' customary stones and firebombs gave way to guns. However, Suleiman Narkib, a Palestinian doctor at the site, said he did not see any gunfire coming from the Palestinian side. · Another Palestinian was killed Sunday night in violent clashes near the West Bank town of Jenin, and a 20-year-old Arab from the same area died two days after being shot in the head. Israeli police, meanwhile, said 25-year-old Marik Gavrilov, an Israeli who was found dead inside a burned car in the West Bank town of Ramallah on Saturday, was killed for political reasons. The deaths raised the overall count to 140 since the bloodshed erupted more than a month ago. The vast majority of the dead and injured have been Palestinians. While the army and protesters fought in Gaza, Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat presided over the opening of a new Gaza hospital and pledged that the Palestinian fight will continue. "Our people shall remain steadfast and strong until one of our young boys or girls raises the flag over Jerusalem, the capital of the state of Palestine," he told reporters. But the Palestinians were showing signs of economic distress. Israeli authorities have prevented Palestinians from entering Israel sinc;e Oct. 6, shortly after the violence began. Normally, about 120,000 Palestinians work in Israel, and industries including tourism and agriculture have been hit hard by the closure. "At the beginning of the year 2000 we could claim that it started as a year of economic recovery," said Mohammad . Shtayyeh, managing director of the Palestinian Economic Council for Development and Reconstruction. "Now this closure is adding another external

DALLAS (AP) - Federal agents used racial profiling against Indians and Pakistanis during a high-profile investigation into immigrant smuggling in the 1990s that won accolades from top federal officials, agents involved in the investigation said in court depositions. Operation Seek and Keep was lauded by Attorney General Janet Reno in a 1998 Washington news conference for stopping an international ring that had taken in $220 million and smuggled 12,000 people, mostly from South Asia. The operation led to the indictments of more than 30 people. hnmigration and Naturalization Service supervisors in Dallas who oversaw parts of the investigation testified last week that they photocopied phone book listings of Indian restaurants and Dunkin' Donuts franchises and ordered INS agents to check the identities of Indian and Pakistani workers in a three-day search for those smuggled in, according to the depositions obtained by The Dallas Morning News

and reported Sunday. Most of those arrested turned out to be Mexican nationals, but several Indian nationals also were arrested, according to two INS agents who participated in the operation. The information about the sweeps emerged from a federal personnel discrimination complaint filed by three INS agents who claimed they were excluded from the operation and lost subsequent promotions because they are white. In the depositions, Supervisory Special Agent John W. Page and District Director Bill Harrington said they were acting on no specific investigative lead or probable cause when they ordered the identity checks, the absence of which some civil-rights experts say indicates racial profiling. The supervisors also acknowledged they proceeded with the operation even though some agents raised questions about its legality and political sensitivity. The Texas American Civil Liberties Union called the episode a flagrant case of racial

profiling that needlessly terrorized those in the restaurants. About 50,000 Indian and Pakistani-Americans live in the Dallas area. Dallas INS spokesman Lynn Ligon said INS supervisors were acting on investigative leads turned up by wiretaps during the operation, which indicated that unspecified restaurateurs may have hired smuggled immigrants. "There was information that indicated that these people were going to these types of places and maybe to some of the doughnut locations," Ligon said. "Would you send your agents out to German restaurantsLldon't see it being a major offense to take a list out of the phone book of restaurants where you stron'y suspect these people may W But Page, the Dallas INS case supervisor who ordered the sweeps, said in his deposition that the wiretap information did not contain specific investigative leads about pelple and restaurants. He said.he was aware at the time that the operation might be questionable.

A few kind words for the demons of hell There has never been a TV series where the animal hero was a bat. Why not? Why couldn't Lassie have en been a bat? c.> There could have been an Q episode wherein Lassie and her young master, Dave Timmy, are frolicking around Barry the farm, with Lassie playfully catching insects for Timmy via sonar, when suddenly ... UHoh! Timmy is caught in the quicksand! So Lassie flits as fast as she can back to the farmhouse, where she squeaks and hurls her tiny self against the screen door until Timmy's family, realizing that something is wrong, comes running outside and kills Lassiewith a rake. Because people generally hate bats. Plus they are getting sick and tired of Timmy falling into tne quicksand every other week. But my central point is that bats have a poor public image. This is unfair, because bats play a vital role in the ecology, as opposed to dogs, who hardly ever do anything except bark and emit paint-peeling puffs of flatulence, which would be a good name for a rock band. Fortunatefy, there are people working on behalf of bats - people who study bats; who respect bats; who love bats; who have, on occasion, TASTED bats. A group of these people met recently in Miami, Fla., for the 30th annual North American Symposium on Bat Research. On hand to provide retail diversion was a company called Speleobooks ("Cave and Bat Goods"), which was selling a

g;

By

wide array of bat-themed merchandise, including bat jewelry, bat candles, bat shirts, bat ties, bat baby clothes, bat sculptures, bat tissues, bat cookie molds, bat Christmas-tree ornaments, bat hot sauce and bat tea towels. The symposium itself was a serious affair, consisting of bat researchers presenting scientific papers on such topics as "Feeding Ecology of the Naked-backed Bats"; "More on the Complexities of Water Hole Use by a Coloradan Bat Community"; "Common Vampire Bat Management in Nicaragua"; "Is Leptonycteris curasoae an Unreliable Pollinator?"; "Is Myotis lucifugus the Mosquito Hunter of the Night?" and of course the question that is on everyone's mind: "Do Frugivorous Bats Provide Directed Dispersar for a Largeseeded Tropical Tree?" (For the record, another good name for a rock band would be "Mosquito Hunter and the Unreliable Pollinators.") I talked to several bat scientists at the symposium, and here are some of the bat facts I learned: - Wherever you live in the world, there are bats nearby. In fact LOOK OUT THERE'S ONE COMING AT YOU NOW!!! - No, seriously, although bats look like evil, creepy demonettes from hell that want to swoop down and bite us and give us rabies, the truth is that they are generally harmless flying mammals just rike us who form colonies, care for their young, go to the mall, etc. Statistically, the average bat is far less likely to be rabid than Pat Buchanan. - Besides catching insects, bats play a critical role in pollinating certain plants,

such as the agave, without which there would be NO TEQUILA. - Even vampire bats have their human side. Researcher Ted Fleming told me that sometimes a female vampire bat will return from a successful bloodsucking trip and share her good fortune by "regurgitating to her roost mates." Awwwww . - Many bat species are endangered because of humans, some of whom view bats as actual food. A researcher named Tom Kunz told me that in parts of Southeast Asia, bat soup and fried bat are considered tasty treats. In Guam, people have eaten pretty much all the bats. There's a bat shortage! You could become a bat rancher and ~et rich! Although you would need skilled bat wranglers. - Kunz also told me that the Gubu people of Papua, New Guinea (I am not making the Gubu people up), have a big feast wherein they boil up a mess of bats, cook them over coals and then eat them whole, after which they pick little bat teeth out of their mouths. Kunz said that, as a researcher, he actually took a tiny bite of this dish . - Incredibly, he did not say that it tasted like chicken. So we see that bats have really received a "raw deal" from us humans. I think that from now on, we should all remember that bats are our friends, and we should make every effort to be nice to them while remaining at a safe distance of, in my case anyway, 14 miles. Also, if we go to a restaurant in Southeast Asia, we should make darned sure we know what we are ordering.
