Even though the Presidential Search Committee has passed its responsibility on to the Board of Regents, it can't say much about the final candidates for the Utah State University presidency The committee, which began reviewing applications in September, consisted of faculty, administrators, community members and one student, ASUSU President Ben Riley.

In 1957the Soviet space dog, Laika, was launchea as the first animal into space aboard the Sputnik 2 space capsule. In 1979 five members of the Communist Workers' Party participated in an anti-Ku Klux Klan rally in Greensboro, N.C., and were shot to death in broad daylight by a group of Klansmen and neo-Nazis.

It was the glass pieces that injured Hansen and the students. Thirteen students and Hansen were transported by ambulance to Logan Regional Hospital, and the rest of the class was taken by bus, said hospital spokeswoman Debbie Lewis. Hospital spokesman Shane Hone said the ho:rtal treated 30 students an Hansen, and two students were admitted. The two students remained at the hospital listed in satisfactory condition Thursday night. The other students and Hansen were all treated and released from the ho_:rtal Thursday, Hone Sal .

said the entire process has been and will continue to be confidential. Despite the policy, rumors have sprung up across campus about who has been considered for the position, Foxley said. Names, experience and the geographic location of candidates will not officially be released during or after the search. "I would hate for [the search] to unravel at the end," Foxley said. Committee members, however, are pleased with how

smoothly the application and search process has gone. "There are some applicants in the pool I'm really excited about," Riley said. Candidates from all over the country applied for the position; the list included 72 names. Of that number, between 30 and 40 were reviewed by the committee, Jim Kennedy _said. Kennedy, a commi1lee member and a professor in the College of Natural Resources, has been at USU for 30 years and has worked through four

presidents . The committee compiled a list of qualifications derived from 13 constituent meetings and applied it to the candidates, Kennedy said. Qualifications included competency, a desire to build diversity and the ability to operate the complexity of a university, among other things. With a mix of people from Cache Valley and the USU community, Kennedy said the committee was comprised of a very compatible and respectful group of people from "all

walks of life." "[The search process] was a black hole in my life for a while, " Kennedy said of the amount of time the process took. Although committee members often had different opinions about who shou ld remain on the list as a can didate , none of the members "moped" or "stomped their feet" when the committee decided against an applicant, Kennedy said.

A federal requirement that colleges and universities report crime statistics on a Department of Education Web site doesn't have Utah State University officials worried. . • "From day one, as a police department, we have made crime statistics available," said Sgt. Steve Milne of the Utah State University Police. "In 1990 rhe campus security act came. In effect, it said that what we had been doing all along, all campuses had to do." Milne said the statistics don't show a completely accurate picture of local crime. "These statistics don't paint the whole picture of what crime's like at the university," he said. "You can see that assault is down, but you don't know what theft is, which is the majority of campus crimes." According to a recent New Yod.Times article, the majority of institutions procrastinated postinf their figures until the last minute. Because of the number of schools submitting information at the last minute, Department of Education officials said they had not yet had time to post all the information received ffo m universities. Cornell University Medical College is 011e such school. Fred Berg, a campus administrator for Cornell, was shocked that Cornell's statistics

were ~10tlisted on the Web site as of Wednesday mormng. "I'm a little distraught that it's not showing up; I put this information in myself, " he said,Justin Harding, legislative assistant to U tah Congressman Jim Hansen , said he supports the law. · "The law makes sense, " he said. "It is good to have crimes reported so individuals can be aware of it. I thinkthat's the greatest advantage in reporting [these statistics] is awareness." Milne said, "I'm a father who has a daughter looking to go off to college. It's nice to know t_hat there is a source that I can look at crime and know what's going on ." Schools that fail to report a crime can be fined up to $25,000 per incident by the Department of Education, accordi ng to the text of the law. The law referred to as the Jeanne Cler y Disclosure of Campus Security Po licy and Campus Crime Statistics Act requires institu tions of higher education to report campus statistics for murder, sex offenses, robber y, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, manslaughter, arson, liquor law violations, drugrelated violations and weapons violations. The act is named for Jeanne Clery, a student at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Penn ,, who was raped, beaten and killed in her dorm room in 1986, according to the New Yod.Times.

JERUSALEM - A thunderous car bomb killed two Israelis near a crowded Jerusalem market on Thursday, escalating tensions as Israeli and Palestinian leaders put off a truce announcement meant to end five weeks of fighting. Islamic militants claimed responsibility for the blast, which killed the daughter of a right-wing Israeli political leader. Elsewhere, Palestinian areas were again aflame, with two Palestinians killed and at least 80 injured in the West Bank, doctors and rescue workers said. The violence endangered - and may have scuttled the latest in a series of ceasefire agreements. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat initially planned to simultaneously declare a truce at 2 p.m. The announcements were delayed with the expectation they would come a few hours later. But shortly after 3 p.m., a Mazda car loaded with explosives detonated on a narrow residential street less than 200 yards from the congested Mahane Yehuda market. Flames leaped high into the air, sending up huge black plumes of black smoke as wailing ambulances converged on the working-class area lined with old stone apartment

buildings. Eleven people including four children were slightly injured in addition to the two killed. Police identified the dead as Hanan Levy, 32, and Ayelet Hashahar-Levy, 24. They were not related. Ayelet Hashahar-Levy was the daughter ofYitzhak Levy, leader of the National Religious Party. Yitzhak Levy has served as a minister in several Israeli governments. He left his post in Barak's government because of disagreements over the peace process. His daughter had just moved to Jerusalem and was bringing her belongings to a house in the area at the time of the explosion, police said. One witness said he tried to pull her from the flames. "I saw her on the ground . and her legs had been blown off," said Yaakov Hassoum. "I hoped she was alive, but she was dead." Hundreds of onlookers clogged the streets as policemen pushed the crowd back. Some young Israelis chanted, "Death to Arabs" and "We want revenge." A group calling itself the military wing of the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement, the group said the bombing was carried out "in reply to the enemy's crimes against our Palestinian people" and promised more attacks. Israel said it was standing by the J

truce reached Wednesday night in a meeting between Arafat and Israeli elder statesman Shimon Peres. The agreement was intended to stop the fighting and open the borders of closed-off Palestinian areas. However, rn;ither Barak nor Arafat appeared ready to formally announce the truce Thursday

night. The Palestinian leadership issued a statement Thursday urging Palestinians to "stick to peaceful means" in protests, but it fell well short of what Israel expected. Arafat, who met in Gaza with the European Union peace envoy, Miguel Moratinos, said the ball was in the Israeli court.

But this year could bring a higher profile. Greens are running 81 legislative candidates, four times as many as in the last election. Libertarians predict a dozen competitive legislative races, particularly in Nevada, Colorado and Connecticut. · Supporters say the time is ripe for a third-party movement. The reason: growing numbers of independents, low turnout at each election, and the tight race for president.

ATLANI'A (AP) - Reported cases of the measles in the An1ericas.and Caribbean countries dropped steeply last year, government researchers said Thursday. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said measles infected 3,091 people last year in the 41-country region that stretches from Canada to Argentina. That's a decline of 78 percent from 1998, when 14,300 cases were reported. The CDC credited one-time vaccination campaigns targeting children under 14, followed by annual efforts to vaccinate 1-yearolds. All 1999 infections were reported from just 11 countries, including the United States, which had 100 cases. Nearly half were from Bolivia, where a measles epidemic broke out in May 1998. Measles reached an all-time low in the Americas region in 1996, when 2,109 cases were reported. The numbers shot up t9 more than 52,000 in 1997 because of an epidemic in Brazil. '

Nevadatops list of smokingstates ATLANTA (AP) - Nevada, home to Sin City and its 24-hour, smoke-friendly bars and casinos, has knocked Kentucky out of the top spot on the government's list of states with the highest smoking rates. Nearly a third of Nevada residents smoke, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday. The nlli11bersdidn't surprise Daniele Dreitzer of the American Cancer Society's office in Las Vegas, where smoking is allowed ~lmost·anywh'ete thete's gambling. Even in grocery stores, tustomers light up while they play the slots. · "We jokingly say Nevada's the smoking section for California," Dreitzer said. The CDC put Nevada's smoking rate at 31.5 percent. n Kentucky, a major tobacco producer that had topped the list since 1995, was second at 29.7 percent. The lowest rates were 13.7 percent in Puerto Rico and 13.9 percent in Utah, where the Mormon Church's opposition to smoking has been credited with keeping rates low. Dr. Linda Pederson, an epidemiologist for the CDC's Office of Smoking and Health, downplayed Nevada's overtaking Kentucky, noting that the survey's margin of error of 3 percentage points was greater than the 1.8-point difference separating the two states. ,,, The CDC also cautioned that the Puerto Rico numbers could be skewed because 25 percent of homes don't have telephones aneiG were excluded from the survey. I' The CDC has estimated that roughly 25 percent American s adults smoke - a rate that held steady throughout the 1990s. The CDC surveyed adults in all 50 states, plus the District of f) Colwnbia and Puerto Rico, about their smoking habits. People were considered smokers if they smoked almost every day and had smoked more than 100 cigarettes in their life.

Church-statebattle eruption over 'morning-after'pill in 'Italy VATICAN CITY (AP) - A church-state battle has erupted in Italy after the Vatican condemned a "morning-after" pill and urged pharmacists not to sell it. JI The pill went on sale this week, listed by the Health Ministtx as a "method of emergency contraception." But the Vatican called it a form of chemical abortion and said phannacists should be conscientious objectors against "new hidden forms of aggression" threatening human life. By law, pharmacists in Italy must provide customers with all government-approved medicines. In interviews published in Catholic news media Thursday, Cardinal Camillo Ruini, president of the Italian Bishops Conference, assailed the government's authorization of the pill. He argued pharmacists should be permitted to take advantage of a clause in Italy's abortion law that allows doctors and nurses to declare themselves conscientious objectors. Some 500-600 ofltaly's 64,000 pharmacists are members of the Union of Catholic Pharmacists, according to its president, Fiero Uroda. Italy's health minister, Umberto Veronesi, a prominent cancer specialist, said he was dismrbed by the call aimed at pharmacists. Interviews at several drug stores in downtown Rome suggested they would abide by the law. "We could be charged. If somebody shows up with a prescription we can't refuse to give out a medicine," pharmacist Giovanni Scarfo said in an interview. The hormone-based pill Norlevo must be taken within 72 hours of sexual relations. It impedes a possibly fertilized egg from imbedding in the uterus by altering the uterine wall. It has been on sale in other European countries for some , months, leading some Italian commentators to complain about church attempts to influence policy in Italy. The French government had allowed school nurses to distril> ute the pill to schoolgirls in a bid to cut unwanted pregnancies, but the practice was later blocked by the constirutional court. The abortion pill RU-486, which can induce abortions weeks into pregnancy, is not approved for sale in Italy. But the Italian Health Ministry approved the morning -after pill in September, stressing that it was a "method of emergency contraception." Roman Catholic teaching is opposed to both artificial contraception and abortion.

UtahStateLegislature, studentsworktogether on research projectideas JESSICA WARREN

Senior Writer

Selected students from Utah State University and University of the Utah will showcase their research projects for the state legislature. Entitled "Posters on the Hill," the goal is to spotlight the caliber of students at wesearch universities, as well as the value of their woo:k. A poster refers to a professional presentation on a display board approximately 3rfeet by 4 feet with research findings and other information. The showcase will take place at the Rotunda of the State Capitol on January 18. Joyce Kinkead, associate vice president for Research, is taking student nominations until Nov. 20. Kinkead said the value of this type of showcase is the viewer can talk with the researcher one on one. The room has each of the posters, with the researcher right there to explain and answer questions. There is also a national Posters on the Hill, sponsored by the Council for Undergraduate Research, but this is the first on the state, level. USU is the leading university, Kinkead said, inviting students from the University of Utah, Utah's other public research university, to participate. Kinkead said undergraduate research is valuable because students get to work closely with faculty and prepare for graduate school or e;mployrneut. "Teaching aP.d learning are integrated in the research," Kinkead said . Students involved in research also help their

chances of gaining financial aid for graduate school and prove their skills for positions in their field. "Research builds on what goes on in the classroom," Kinkead said. Kinkead also said Posters on the Hill is beneficial to both students and legislators. The students get one on one time with state legislators, in addition to presenting their research to those not familiar with the terminology of their field of study. Kinkead said legislators benefit because they get to meet their student constituents, and they are exposed to the value of supporting higher education. Kinkead said she likes to showcase the students rather than faculty. "Students tell the story of Utah State much better than we do," she said. Kinkead said the program also gives students that extra "oomph" to show they are the best one for a job or acceptance to graduate school. Kinkead anticipates approximately 15 students from each college focusing on a variety of topics, demonstrate a geographic diversity of students, including Extension students. Projects on campus range from the effects of environmental colors on mate choice of female guppies, to electrodynamics, to studies on student populations. Kinkead said she hopes · this,~ill'b,e an, anp.;qal' ~ , evrr&,rritI.IowingS_fE,~PAf19. nl demonstrate to the ·tegisiature the assets of higher education and student research.

Hit the road Students frustrated with construction, officials say it won't be completed until Spring Semester ASHLEY STOLWORTHY

Staff Writer

Road barriers and construction signs have been directing traffic with detours in the neighborhood at the bottom of Old Main Hill and 700 North for the past month. Students living in the area have voiced frustrations as to what exactly is being done, and how long the work is

going to stay in progress. "It is so hard to get to work everyday because of the closed roads. I'm glad that it's almost finished by our street, " said sophomore Kirn Clark. Kevin Hansen, the public works director for Logan, said the reason for the traffic congestion is a new water main that will be connected to the four wells around town. Once the construction

in completed, the water will be distributed from area reservoirs. The project, which began in late August, will continue through Spring 2001. Plans are expected to accommodate the 3 percent annual growth increase that Cache Valley has seen in recent years by providing more water and sewer lines and improving those in existence.

In a poll published in 7m CohrCountrySpectr.um,a St. George-based newspaper, and The DixieSun; the DSC student pubhcation, Dixie's administration has requested input as to whether or not the school should keep "Rebels" as their moniker. In the poll, the school administrators announced the cause, 'We need to identify what level of commitment exists for the current mascot." Last year, the school changed its official name to accommodate for its switch from two-year to four-year status. However, the administration is considering this name change for a different reason. The poll states, " ... Dixie State has long faced a partyschool image. Many students and community members, as well as some alumni, have commented that the Rebel mascot connotes rebelliousness ."

The student paper, Tre Dixie Sun, condemned the poll's introduction, arguing that it leads participants to agree that the mascot should be changed.

Fakegun forces N.Y.studentsto evacuateschool A prop shotgun mistaken for the real thing forced police to evacuate students Wednesday at Marist College in Poughkeepsie ,

N.Y. More than a dozen town policemen, clad in body armor, combed the campus late Wednesday afternoon after a faculty member reported a student heading toward Donnelly Hall with the fake rifle in hand, according to Joseph F. Leary, director of safety and security at Marist. But after campus police sifted through busy classrooms in search of a possible gunman, authorities rece ived word that student had returned a prop rifle to the college, and that the faculty member recognized both the prop and the student from the prior incident.

TSC, RooM317 • 797-NEWS

NCO The academic goal of most students at Utah State University is to eventually get a job doing what they love, which is exactly what many USU theater arts majors are doing. Several theater groups in the community regularly hire student employees, especiaJly theater majors specializing in stage technology or design. Many students work for the Capitol Arts Alliance (CAA) when they bring professional touring shows, such as the recent performance "Anything Goes," to the Ellen Eccles Theatre. These traveling shows are already equipped with their set and actors, but rely on local employees to run the show backstage, said technical director Craig Steenerson. Steenerson, a USU alumnus, manages the set construction and stage technology company, Shopera!, housed along with the Utah Festival Opera Company (UFOC) in the Dansante building behind the Eccles Theatre. Shopera! works closely with the UFOC, but often shares employees with anyone renting space in the Eccles Theater. More than . 30 USU students work for Shopera!, the Eccles Theatre (under the CAA) and the Unicorn Theater, a children's theater company. In working for these companies, students may be doing anything from directing a play to designing or building set to running a spotlight. Theater arts major Katherine Moss directed a play for the Unicorn Theater, and also worked as a prop technician in productions at the Eccles Theatre. "The university only has so many positions," Steenerson said. A traveling show at the

Eccles Theatre uses an average of 30 local employees, but can need up to 75, said Kris Buschman with the Eccles Theatre. Through their work in the community, students gain invaluable experience, and are paid up to $10 an hour . "Not only do they gain professional experience, but they earn money in their field while going to school and building up their portfolio," said USU professor of scenic design Dennis Hassan.

In addition to professional theater experience, students have the opportunity to make contacts that will help them when they graduate, said Annette Thompson, Eccles Theatre public relations coordinator. "Anytime you make a friend in theater, they could end up being a contact or a reference," said USU student Chrislynn Glover, who worked as prop mistress for UFOC during the opera "Carmen" this summer. The students benefit from

the professional training and environment, and the community theater organizations ben efit by having a local workforce, Steenerson said. "There is no cost of housing and travel when you hire local," he said. The USU theater department has also seen advantages in their students' employment experience. "I think it has helped out tremendously in th e technical and design program in particular," Hassan said.

Work aside, there are other bonuses to working in community theaters. "It's fun," Martin said. "You can joke around and get to know new people." "There was a positive atmosphere," Glover said. "I got a lot of support even though I hadn't had a lot of professional experience ." "Part of a university edu cation is more than the education itself," Thompson said. "It's creating a gestalt experience."

TinkyWinky,pajamasand presidentialcandidates I am not a Political Science major , nor do I claim to be an expert on the subject. I am really just a guy with a wife and two kids, who is following the presidential race with about the same enthu- ~-----siasm as watching the All Needlepoint Network on cable. Now don't get me wrong, I'm one of the most patriotic people around. I'm respectful to the U.S. Flag, I have voted in every election since I turned 18 and I vividly remember stopping and listening to the President of the '-----------~ United States as a 10year-old kid while flipping through channels. But, even with all of this background, I think that there is a better way for us to learn about the candidates running for presidency without all of the confusing debates and millions of needless dollars spent on campaigning. First, since we are a vain nation and appearance means so much to us, I think there should be a presidential fashion show where each candidate can walk down a catwalk giving all the newspaper and magazine people their chance to take some decent pho-

tographs. As they walk down the runway , the announcer could say something like this: "Gore is sporting a business casual V-neck sweater today --~ and promises to make h of t e A second suggestion I have is to get rid of those presidential debates. We can do without two to three hours of watching two people avoid telling their real answer lo the question while trying to twist it to shine a negative light on the other guy . I suggest we put the candidates on some sort of a quiz show. The ground rules for this show would have to include that all answers be in the form of multiple choice because presidential candidates are incap able of answering a direct question otherwise. The questions in the game show would be in the form of questions taken from a survey of 100 Americans and would contain topics ranging from "who would win in a fight, Barney or Tinky Winky from the Teletubbies?"

Elite Dance Hall hopes to give love of dance to area youth HOLLY HANSON

Staff Writer

Today's youth don't love to dance the way they used to, a local music provider said. He hopes the weekly dances in Hyrum can change that. Elite Hall has been holding dances for about 30 years, said Boyd Fullmer, founder of the band For All Seasons. Fullmer said the band's name signi fies the fact that there is music to represent all seasons of life. Fullmer's band plays at Elite Hall · every Saturday night. Dance instruction by Rebecca and Russell Carlson is available from 7 to 8 p.m ., before the floor is open to dancing from 8:30 to 11 p.m. Admission is $1 for lessons and $3 for the dance. "We have a variety

of music, we are like a smorgasbord," Fullmer said . "We have country western, swing, Latin, jitterbug, rock 'n roll, ballroom, big band, cha-cha, waltz, Lindy hop and most others available 'for our dances." He said music and dancing is so diverse it is fitting for all ages. The people who attend vary in age from week to week. "Some nights we'll have high school kids, other nights we'll have college kids and then the next night we could have people in their 50s," Russell Carlson said. Dancing was once a way for young people to meet others and he hopes the weekly dances start that tradi tion again. "There's no partner needed, and you don't need a date," Fullmer

said. He said it's a great place to meet others. "Most people want to learn [the East Coast swing]," Russell Carlson said. "We also teach the waltz, fox ttot, polka, cha-cha, tango and rumba." If the group is small enough, Russell Carlson said he'll teach whatever dance is requested. "We know more dances than we teach . If enough people want to learn one, we'll teach it," he said. On Dec. 2, the Utah State University Ballroom Dance team will perform during intermission. Other groups occasionall[ perform at the hal . Elite Hall is located at 84 W Main Street in Hyrum. Dances are held every Saturday night u_nless announced otherwise.

Logan restaurants offer tasty choices DEBBIE LAMB

Staff Writer

Dining out, one of America's favorite pastimes, can be a gourmet experience in Logan. "This is my passion in life," said Bill Oblock, chef and owner of the Grapevine in Logan, of preparing gourmet food. .b Oblock has been in business for the past 10 years. He originally came to Logan to marry his wife, who owns Chapter Two Bookstore in Logan. Having a lot of experience as a chef, and being in a town where there were not a lot of job opportunities for a man with his abilities, Oblock decided to open his own restaurant. "I wouldn't call it a gourmet restaurant, but fine dining," Oblock said. "\¥hat you are getting is more than food you are also being treated well and are in a good atmosphere. It is like going to the theater, you bring your friends and enjoy it." The menu offers things Oblock likes to cook. A lot of it is based on classical foods,

such as chicken, pasta, steak, seafood and game. Oblock likes to follow four guidelines when choosing food: First, it is important to cook food appropriate to the season. Second, food should be appealing to the eye. Third, the food must taste good. And fourth, the price range has to be right for the valley, he said. "I'm really appreciative of people in the valley," Oblock said. "The repeats and the new ones all try items on the menu that may seem different or odd for this valley's look on food." The Grapevine is open Wednesday through Saturday, from 5 to 10 p.m. "I have a family and another life. I know what the industry is like and I would go crazy if I was open all the time," he said. Another food establishment that offers gourmet food is the restaurant at The Logan House Inn. It caters special events like Christmas dinners and receptions. The restaurant is only open to guests of the inn and at the parties they cater. Tanpopo, a Japanese restaurant located in Logan, offers

oriental cuisine like sushi. It first started as the Japan Connection in 1994 in Smithfield. In 1995, it changed its name to Tanpopo. It moved to Logan in January of 1998 after being closed for a year and a half. Tanpopo serves authentic Japanese cuisine. The owner, Verl Murphy, lived in Japan for six years and his wife is Japanese. He also served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Japan. "My wife's name is Noriko, she is the brain behind the business," Murphy said. "All of the recipes are hers." The Murphys both have lived on the basic Japanese diet. They have tried to recreate it in their menu. "We have tried to cater to American taste," Murphy said. "Japanese food is not nearly as spicy as other Oriental foods. It is mild with a lot of flavor." Right now a lot of people are moving into the valley from out of state, Murphy said. They are bringing their habits with them, which include eating sushi, he said.

PotterSvend Bayertopresentart lecture,workshop HEATHER STRASBURG

Staff Writer

Svend Bayer will be speaking as part of the Ceramics Program lecture series Monday at 7 p.m. in the Chase Fine Arts Center, Room 150. There will also be a reception following the event at the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art. "This year we wanted to bring in more international artists. We are trying to build scope for the srudents since Cache Valley is so isolated," said John Neely, professor of art and head of the Ceramics Program. Bayer lives in England but is of Danish descent and was originally raised in Africa, Neely said. From i969 to 1972, he apprenticed under Michael Cardew, a famous ceramic artist. "Bayer is known for his

huge, wood-fired ceramics. In England his work is known as 'bigware,"' Neely said. "It's huge, larger than bath tub sized pots." Bayer is also known as a kiln builder. At the lecture he will speak about his kiln building. "I recentlr got the slides he wil be using for the lecture in the mail and one of them is a kiln he built in Maryland not too long ago," Neely said. There will also be a workshop Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Visual, Room 121 (Ceramics Studio). "This workshop is a way to get the community involved. Anyone can come and it's free," Neely said. "Bayer will be working as a potter rather than kiln

Benefit Concert: A different kind of spectacular ALISHA TOLMAN

Staff Writer

Maybe it was because the concert included some of the most talented performers in Utah. Maybe it was the fact that each of the performers thought the cause important enough to donate their time and talents for the night. Or maybe it was the spirit of the Special Olympics volunteers and the athletes themselves that made the Utah State University Special Olympics Benefit concert so incredible. One thing is certain - more than phenomenal musical performances touched hearts Saturday night. The concert began with the theme song "Power of the Dream," sung by Sonja D'anne, with pictures of the Special Olympiads flashing on a screen

behind her. The excitement and enthusiasm of the athletes shone through the snapshots. The performers caught that enthusiasm. "I felt strongly honored to participate," said professional performer and USU professor Michael Ballam. "I have a great affinity towards people with disabilities. They have taught me great lessons in my life." One of the volunteers gave a short speech during the concert in which he listed several challenges facing people today, and the more extreme challenges facing those with disabilities. In working with the athletes, the volunteer concluded, "Attitude is the only disability." · The concert continued with performances by Michael Ballam, who sang "Impossible Dream," Voice Male, Kenneth

Cope, Performing Arts Lengthening Strides (PALS) and former Miss Utah Vanessa Ballam-Brenchley. A final testament to the spirit of the athletes came with the torch-lighting ceremony. One of the Special Olympiads was given the task of lighting the Olympic torch. After several minutes, it was apparent that the Olympic torch was broken and would not light . Undaunted, the athlete held his small torch aloft throughout the final number. "All of us have disabilities in one way or another," Ballam said. "Some are more visible than others. We truly become humanitarians when we lift others up. It causes us to be better than we were before, and the whole world brightens as a result."

Wit against wit, skill against skill, it would be a television event that all could enjoy, especially if the candidates played it in their pajamas.

Utah State's women's volleyball team was swept by No. 12 University of the Pacific Tht1rsday night (13-15, 12-15 8- 15). ' The loss ended the Aggies' 9-0 record at home, <lropping them to 19-7 overall, 9-4 in Big West Conference action. UOP, 19- 3 overall, remains in first place in the BWC with an 11- 1 mark in league play. The Aggies played compete tively throughout game s one and two . USU recorded a .24-0 hitting percenta ge in the first game to the Tigers' .229. But the Aggies failed to win the game, allowing UOP to come from behind and overcome a 913 deficit . Game two was also tight, as the Aggies tried to catch the Tigers, coming as close as 1213,thanks to an ace by middle blocker Denae Mohlman. Once again, USU could not manage to claim victory. . "We did~;t plav a really ter nbl e match, Mohlman said. Head coach Torn Peterson said the team made critical errors to end each of the three games. The Aggies committed three defensive errors at the end of the first game. In game two, USU had three consecu tive hitting errors to encl th e game. Th e third game end ed

"Not to take away from the way Pacific played, but if we would've made less errors , it would've bee'n a different match," Mohlman said. Mohlman said the team is ~vorking in practice to improve m three areas: covering the hitters, makin g fewer errors and getting mor e blocks . The Tigers out-blocked the Aggies 15.5- 9.5 and out-killed USU 62-58 . The Aggies, however, did out dig UOP 66-58. "With the way we played tonight, we could have beat any other team we have played this season," Peterson said. "But against Pacific, we had to step it up. They were a bett er team for a longer period of time . They're the best team we'll see all season - until we make it to th e Final Four." Both Peterson and Mohlman said the team needs to play more consistent when it faces Long Beach State University Saturday, 7:30 p.m. , for the final home match of the season. "If we can play tou gh and play consistent, we'll be fine," Mohlman said. The Aggies will be facing the 49ers' 6-foot -7 middle blocker, C,heryl W eaver. Mohlman said USU is not too worried about th e height differenc e between LBSU and USU.

Second game key in home loss Staff Writer A slow start by one team and a fast start by the othe -r proved to be one of the key factors in the USU women's volleyball game against the University of the Pacific. Unfortunately for th e . Aggies, the Tigers were able to create some breathing room, jumping out to a 9- 3 lead in the second game and 5~0in the third . Although the Aggies were able to fight back and put some pressure on tl}e Tigers, the early deficits proved to be too ntuch to overcome. Along with jumping out of the gates slowly, USU bead coach Tom Peterson said inconsistency plagued th e Aggies all night, which is deadly against a top notch team like Pacific. "They were better than us for longer periods of time,'' , Peterson said. On th e .contrary, UOP was able to capitalize on some Aggie miscommunica She not ed that, while the Aggies are not a tall team, they are quick. "Long Beach is not as con-

Despite the rocky startst Peterson said he was happy the team didn't allow Pacific to run away with the v:ictory and was able to make the games interesting. "To fight all the way back is very, very difficult [against a team like Pacific}," he said. "They are probably the best team we willsee the rest of

Staff Writer

Coming off what team captain Greg Jorgensen called a dominant performance against Weber State University, the USU men's volleyball club is looking to build upon its victory hosting a 12-team tournament Friday and Saturday at the HPER building. The Aggies silenced hecklers in the hostile crowd at fhe Dee Events Center in Ogden - including the WSU women's team - and ran away with the match after losing a tight second game. Jorgensen said the Aggies were successful because they made accurate passes and were on the same page. The victory, he said, gives USU the fOnfidence it needs heading into the tournament. "'.I'oknow we can beat up on a team like that gives us immense confidence," he said. Play will begin Friday at 5:30 p.m. The teams will use a round robin format. Play will resume Saturday at 9 a.m., with Friday night's results determining the draw for Saturday's single elimination action.

"They are a good team," Rahe said. "Some real good players." Th.9~ players are former

college players, including former Aggie stars Marcus Saxon and Kevin Rice. "It'll be good to see Rice and Marcus," Rahe said, 1'because they did a lot for this program." Rahe just hopes they don't go too "crazy'' against USU. The Aggieswill focus on their game plan rather than playing to counter what Global Sports is going to throw at them, Rahe said. But they will call up Auburn University,the University of South Alabama and the University of NevadaReno for verbal scouting reports. Global Sports gave Auburn, No. 24 in the AssociatedPress poll at the end of the season (USU was No. 41), some trou-

ble, losing 107-93. Global Sports had seven players in double figures including Kevin Rice (13).Marcus Saxon did not play. Last year, USU whipped Global Sports 92-73 after doubling them up in the first half 54--27.Daniels led the Aggies with 20 points. Six other players scored seven or more points in USU's easy win. Saturday afternoon the Aggieswill run the gambit of offense and defense sets, testing out all the plays they have been working on in practice. After 3,000 fans came out to the Hoop Fest Friday, Rahe hopes for a good turnout. "It really helps the kids," Rahe said. "It prepares them for the regular season."

90 yards per game. NMSU running back Chris Barnes is averaging 105.4 yards a game on the ground and 6.6 yards per carry. Barnes, who has rushed for at least 100 yards in each · of his last three games and four of his last five, is 18th in the nation in rushing. Kenton Keith, Barnes' backup, runs just as well. He is averaging 7 .2 yards a carry. "New Mexico States going to run the ball. They do it, I believe, better than anyone that we've played," Dennehy said. "We're going to face an offense that is designed and gets excited about running the football and we're going to have to hold up huge in that area." As part of their running attack, Dennehy said the Las Cruces Aggies employ the option. "It's a great, great mix of option football," he said. "They do a wonderful,

wonderful job at it. They've got a veteran offensive line that loves to line up and play smash mouth." USU cornerback Shaun Healy said I the defense will have to watch out for the option or play-action passes, because those plays can catch defenders off guard. , One other thing Dennehy said his 1 squad will have to stop is NMSU eat- ., ing up the clock. it "They're the type of team that is .., going to sustain five or six minute dri- <J ves," he said. "We're apt to have less touches. We're going to have to be J productive every opportunity that we get." Dennehy said he thinks NMSU will be eager to win after losing to Boise State last weekend. "Obviously, they can't afford to lose one more. On the other hand, I don't think we can afford to lose rl1 JO one."

It appears that if you own a business, Cache Valley is the place to be. Petsmart, Hollywood Video, Dairy Queen and others have flocked to this area. But is this

Middle Eastern dancing doesn't deserve criticism ~

~INSIGHT Se<lonia Sipes,guesteditorial Having formerly been the president of Mountain Veils Danse Orientale (USU's Middle Eastern dance club), I feel it is necessary to comment on Peri Spencer's unprofessional and unscholarly attempt at humor, to the detriment of one of USU's student organizations. (I refer to "Seduction by the Belly Button"'in the Nov. 1

Statesman.) About a dozen USU students, staff and faculty, including myself, have spent the last two years pouring our blood, sweat and tears into making Mountain Veils Danse Orientale an educational, service and recreational asset to USU. The club's performing troupe practices 5-plus hours per week and conducts introductory dance classes with out personal compensation. One of our main goals is to represent Middle Eastern style dance as a fun and legitimate form of folk dance, worthy of the same respect as Classical Indian dance, Hula or Irish step dance. Ms. Spencer has set this goal back considerably, and I wish to bend your ears, dear Statesman readers, in an attempt to undo the damage . Ms. Spencer did not contact the class instructors before, during or after the class she crasned (everyone else in the class had paid a fee to be there) in regard to the article she was planning to write. Rather, her article includ ed only her own opinions, emotional reactions, hangups about her body and insecurities regarding her social interactions with the opposite sex. It was rife with ignorance and perpetrated almost every incorrect stereotype about Middle Eastern dance that I have ever heard . (I say

almost because somehow she failed to incorporate images of sultans and harem girls.) The term "belly dance" was coined in the late 19th century by a man named Sol Bloom, an entertainment entrepreneur who wanted to entice the naughty Victorians into his North African folk dance shows at the Chicago World Fair. (Remember, at this time "arm" and "leg" were considered naughty words.) He was a shrewd businessman, because his new title for the show took it from being a total wash-out dud, virtually ignored by the crowds, to a lucrative operation feeding off of the hyfocritical, repressed sexua obsessions of Victorian society. . He even barred women from watching his ethnic dance show, thus further perpetrating the misconception that it was entertainment for men. You can read all about Mr. Bloom and the exploita tion of Eastern dance forms by Westerners in a book called "Looking for Little Egypt" in the Merrill Library. Correct terms for our dance include Middle Eastern style dance, Oriental dance or Raks Sharki (Arabic for Eastern dance). Middle Eastern dance is not about female competition, rather just the opposite . We con sider the dance a refuge from perverted body images and the objectification of women that is pervasive in our society. You do not have to have a particular body type to perform this dance. You do not even have to expose your midriff . Two piece costumes are a modern phenomenon of the dance, but many dancers costume themselves in long dresses. Most people find the study of this dance self-empower ing, because it teaches grace, strength, muscular control and musical expression. ►SEE DANCING

a good thing? Economic growth generally isn't bad. In fact, the recognition this area receives through business only generates more cash flow that will keep it thriving. But is that what we really want? Granted, I've only been a resident of Logan for four years, but I miss the look it used to have back then. Less traffic, fewer people, fewer roads and houses near the mountains ... Not that I particularly long for a more rural atmosphere. God only knows how many times I prayed for a two-story

mall where the existing one sits. What can I say?You can take the girl out of the city, but, well, you know the rest. I'm happy to see Cache Valley recognized as an economic force to be reckoned with. This is a beautiful spot of the country and the more people realize that, the more business it will get and the more money will flow through residents' fingers. But is the increased population that comes with new businessesgood? I like the fact that this area has a low unemploy► SEE DANCING

Statesman letters to the editor

Make your candidates fi 11necessarycriteria Dear Editor, America is neither a socialist republic nor a communist dictatorship; it is a constitutional republic. Voters should check their candidates in regard to correct principles of American government: 1. If the private sector can do it, government should not. If charity can do it, government should not. 2. Federal government should not do what state and local governments can do, and state and local governments should not do what individuals can do for themselves. 3. Laws that take over our personal responsibilities , intrude on private lives or affect our property without just compensation are not Constitutionally justified. 4. The Constitution should not be "stretched" or reinterpreted (those who do this call it a "living Constitution") but be defined as originally intended by the Founding Fathers. When considering a law or candidate, ask: • Will our freedom to act be preserved, or be relegated to some agency or official? • Will the right to private ownership of property or means of production be

infringed? • Will government be limited, or its role expanded beyond Constitutional boundaries? • Is persuasion exercised , rather than compulsion? • Are we electing moral leaders of principle , judg ment and integrity who understand the proper role of Dear editor, government?

It's not that hard to tell a duck from a goose submitting successive letters , - no exceptions." Why did this not apply to Mr. Ruben? The Statesman needs to fol- • low its own rules and not change them j ust because the views of the writer are the same as their own. By the way, Rich Timothy, it's not that hard do tell the difference between a duck and a goose. Try hunting or even bird watching sometime .

This article is dedicated to the Utah Department of Transportation, which almost single-handedly keeps the pain/stress relieving industries in business. I can't get a job.

I got s~ desperate in my hunt for a Job that, once, I even tried to get a job in hell. Here's what happened (Dante, eat your heart out): I was sitting around in the middle of January, freezing in my cardboard box because I couldn't afford an apartment, when I had a great idea for a job. "Hrnmm," I thought, "hell is nice this time of year. I wonder if they're hiring for anything." Thinking this to be an opportune time to test out my skills in larceny and having nothing better to do, I broke into the nearest apartment and dialed up Hell's Dept. of Job Services (Phone number: (666) 666-6666, extension 3 ). "Hello, this is hell. Barbara speaking," said an unusually pleasant voice. "Hello, my name is Matt

Finally, and perhaps most importantly,·the purpose of Middle Eastern dance . is not to seduce men. In fact, these dances evolved in societies where women most often danced only for themselves in the company of other women and their immediate families.

I'm all for growth, but where will we put all these people? Are there a lot of "For Sale" and "For Rent" signs that I haven't noticed? Will we have to build more homes here for newcomers to live in? What will that do to ,,,__ 'Darrural atmospK'E!fe? I live a block down the hill from the Institute next to a canal. It's a great little spot, more or less quiet, with a foresty backyard (beyond the parking lot). Every once in a while, a doe and her two Iittle ones comes through to gnaw on some leaves and slurp up a drink or two. How many more mornings will I get to have that "Stand By Me" kind of deer experience? Will she vanish as quickly as Petsmart is built? Smog in this valley is already beyond what an area with this population should have. At least it seems that way. That greenish haze hanging over the cities can be both a welcoming and revolting sight at the same time. When my family was still taking road trips back and forth at the end of the school year and Christmas, part of the excitement was coming over the last hill from Tremonton and seeing that green cloud hanging over Logan. For some reason, I was comforted by that; like nothing had changed while I was gone. But there are days when I step out my front door, take a deep breath and detect the slightest hint of eau d'exhaust in the air. Mmmmm. Bottle up some of that stuff for me.

That was my visit to hell. Note: Three days after this story took place my cardboard box was repossessed. Though many of you probably haven't had to look.., for a job in hell, I know that most of you can empathize with me for one of two reasons: Either the job you currently have feels like it was - if nothing else - modeled after hell, or you are considering hell as a career ~ advancement. · b Thus, the moral of the m story is to make the most of ~ft college so you don't end up having to search through h for a job.

I walked into the Department of Job Services and was greeted by Barbara who, in the same cheery voice, said, "Right this way, Mr. Wright. Mr. Wormwood will see you now."
