Students Together Ending Poverty (STEP) held its first Ox Fam Hunger Banquet Nov. l 6 at 6 p.m. in the Taggart Student Center Ballroom, with the intention of educating students about global hunger and poverty issues. "No one can choose the circumstances into which they are born," STEP members read from an Ox Fam script. "This banquet is a metaphor for how resources are inequitably distributed in the world." Student participants paid $1 in order to receive their "fate," and were directed to sit in a high-, middle- or low-income section. STEP volunteers described several scenarios that could happen on a daily basis across the globe. In one situation, 3 middle-class people were forced to move to the low class because the factory that they "worked" for closed and set up

These students were fed a meal that included turkey; salad, mashed potatoes, rolls and juice. Middle-income people represented the 30 percent of the world with per capita income between $765 and $9400, who, despite working "back-breaking labor," can't get ahead. They were offered a buffet of potatoes, rolls and vegetables. The rest of the banquet attendees represented the majority of the world population that lives in poor countries, like Ethiopia and Bangladesh. These people live on less than $76 S a year.

On Nov. 17, 1839, Italy's Giuseppe Verdi, composer of such classic operas as "Aida," "Rigoletto," "II Trovatore," "Falstaff" and "La Traviata," debuted his first opera, Oberto. In 1987, Milan paid tribute him with a centenary performance of his "Otello" at Teatro La Scala, where he had first learned his craft. In 1995 Bettino Craxi, who served as Italy's first Socialist prime minister from 1983 to 1987, was indicted on corruption charges along with 74 others, many of them government officials.

Associated Press Writer

Al Gore won his fight Thursday to expand manual recounts in Florida, even as advisers said he likely won't overtake George W. Bush's 300-vote lead before the Republican secretary of state certifies their marathon White House race Saturday. GOP lawyers asked courts to sto~ the counting and "the disintegration of America's presidential election system. The vice president and his team aggressively defended the hand recounts in Democratic-leaning counties, laying the groundwork for Gore's case to continue the vote-counting if he fails to pull ahead of the Texas governor before the secretary of state's deadline. "The choice really is whether the voters are going to decide this election by having every vote count or whether that process is going• to be short-circuited without all the votes being examined, " Gore said in a radio inter-

view. The Florida Supreme Court later handed Gore a modest victory; authorizing officials in Palm Beach and Broward counties to recount ballots by hand. The effort, which officials said will take about six days, had been stalled on order of Secreta~f State Katherine Harris. The ruling did not say whether any votes found in the recounts can be added to Gore's totals - the heart of a legal clash that has thrust the presidential campaign into limbo. The Justices are all Democratic appointees. Within minutes, Palm Beach election officials decided to start recounting Thursday night. After two full days of counting in 86 of 609 precincts, Gore had gained 2 l votes in Broward County on the state's southeast coast. "The Florida Supreme Court has spoken, the counts can continue," said Gore chairman William Daley. Bush supports the secretary of state's weekend deadline and wants a declaration of a Florida winner after the last

could be headed to U.S. Supreme Court. "Eight days after Florida's presidential vote, the entire nation is witnessing the disintegration of a process that was designed to elect America's president," reads the Bush brief in the federal appeal. "The Florida manual recount process is being used to eliminate any possibility of an orderly, rational and final end to the election." The federal court also agreed to consider a related case filed by three Bush supporters from Brevard County. They claim their rights are being violated because their counties are not recanvassing votes by hand. Some scenes were chaotic, bordering on the comical. Broward County sheriff's deputies took custody of 78 tiny bits of paper after Republicans demanded that the scraps be held as evidence of patential ballot tampering. The paper, from the ► SEE ELECTION

overseas absentee ballots are due Friday at midnight. "Once these votes are counted, we will know the final result of Florida's election and the nation's election," Bush campaign chairman Don Evans said. "Win or lose, this election will be over." Florida Gov. J eb Bush, who thus far has been unable to deliver the state for his brother, agreed: "Saturday morning we'll know who won the state," he said. Democrats begged to differ. Gore's attorneys asked a state judge in Tallahassee to have hand recounts rolled into the election totals, even if the vote-counting isn't finished by Friday night. They argued that Harris, a Bush supporter, acted arbitrarily when she refused to update vote totals with the results of manual recounts after a Tuesday deadline. Bush looked to a federal appeals court in Atlanta to shut down the canvassing altogether, calling manual recounts inaccurate and prone to political mischief. Both sides said the case

Seven thousand miles away from television sets in Logan, the Middle East body count rises daily, backed by images of children throwing rocks and getting shot and men walking and talking with President Bill Clinton. In 15 seconds, the situation looks like this: The rock throwers are Palestinian civilians who are angry and have no other means of showing it; the shooters are organized Israeli soldiers armed with assault weapons and killing Palestinians by the hundreds . The men are Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who have come no closer to continuing the peace process, which was abandoned in March because no one could come to an agreement. Utah State University students say the news flashes capture only the violence, not the deep emotions and the complicated politics boiling beneath it. "It's easy to look at these kids and say, you know, 'You are being killed, why don't you stop?"' said Hamed Bekerat, a graduate student who was born and lived in Jerusalem. "But you have to understand they can do nothing else." It's also easy to look at the Israelis

and ask why such force is necessary against people armed with stones, said Guy Serbin, an American Israeli and graduate student. He said both sides are fighting for their existence, and neither can or will back down. Jewish settlers took ownership of the state of Israel in 1948 . British troops left, and in 1949 fighting broke out with Arab neighbors. About 700,000 Palestinians fled or were driven from what had been British-mandate Palestine . Israel annexed large tracts of land, but Jordan and Egypt held onto the West Bank and Gaza Strip respectively. Control of Jerusalem was split between Israel in the west and Jordan in the east. Palestinians ended up in camps scattered across the Middle East, where most of the violence is happening now. Altogether, 3. 7 million refugees live in crowded conditions without adequate water or sewage in 59 United Nations-run camps, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees . Other Palestinians live in camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. Many don't live in camps, but remain under control of the Israelis as what amounts to second-class citizens, Bekerat said .

JGLANCE F-16 collides with small plane SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) - An Air Force F-16 collided with a small plane Thursday and crashed in flames. One person aboard the small plane was killed, while the fighter pilot parachuted to safety and walked to someone's house to use the phone. Pieces of the small plane, a Cessna, landed on a golf course. The wreckage of the fighter jet started a fire in the woods a few miles away. No injuries were reported on the ground. One person aboard the Cessna was killed, said Henry Sheffield, a district fire chief. The fighter pilot ejected and parachuted to safety on the golf course. Gerald Rivera was working on a construction site nearby. "We asked the pilot if he was OK and he said, 'Yeah,"' Rivera told the Sarasota Herald Tribune. The Air Force said the jet was from Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta, Ga., but was on a training mission that originated from Florida's MacDill Air Force Base, about 20 miles from the crash site. Sheriff Charles Wells said two F-16s were on the training mission but only one was involved in the crash. Don Mcllwain, who lives nearby, said he saw the two military jets and then noticed a smaller plane that looked as if it would cross their path. Mcllwain said he remembered thinking, "I hope it's high enough." "Just as I said that , he went right through it," Mcllwain told the Tribune. "The small plane just disintegrated."

Voter News Service examines how networks call elections DAVID BAUDER

AssociatedPress . J\1EW YORK - Fanned to help TV networks quickly report an<lexplain election results, Voter News Service now stands at the center of one of television's most embarrassing moments in years. The little-known company that provides news organizations with exit poll information and election returns is being scrutinized after the networks' double-barrele<l mistake in the presidential race: prematurely declaring Al Gore the winner in Florida and then George W. Bush several hours later. More than a week later, the real results are still in doubt. Fox News Channel founder and CEO Roger Ailes has already said he wants to replace the consortium set up by ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, NBC and The ·Associated Press with more than one service. "As far as I'm concerned, CBS anchor Dan Rather said to radio commentator Dori Imus about VNS, "we have to knock it down to absolute ground zero, plow it under with salt, put a barbed -wire fence around it, quarantine·it for a few years and start off with something new." VNS projected Florida for Gore early on election night, and all six of its media members did, too. VNS did not call the race for Bush; five of its six members did, some citing numbers provided by VNS. The AP never called the race for Bush. VNS has issued two public statements · but would not make its executives available for comment . "There's a congressional investigation, there's a lawsuit pending," said VNS editorial director Murray Edelman. "It's a

pretty inflamed subject right now," he said, and VNS doesn 't want to "pour any more kerosene on it." VNS traces its roots to the mid- 1960s, when the News Election Service was fonned to help the networks, AP and United Press International conduct vote talJies. Voter Research & Surveys was created in 1990 for the TV networks to share the costs of exit polling and projections. AP and UPI were not involved in VRS. The two services merged as VNS in 1993. Based in New York, it has about 30 permanent employees. On Election Day, VNS, using temporary workers in every state, conducted exit polls in about 1,4-00precincts, transmitting findings to its members in waves that afternoon and evening. Voters were asked, for example, who they selected for president and what issues mattered most in their decision. When actual votes began coming in, VNS checked results in more than 3,500 precincts scientifically selected to predict final results. Forty -five of those exit poll locations and 110 sample precincts were in Florida, and the first word from them pointed in the direction of a Gore victory. Exit poll information alone showed Gore in the lead by 6.5 percentage points. The first voting results indicated the Gore exit poll lead might even have been understated, said Warren Mitof-sky, a polling expert who founded Voter Research & Surveys and consulted with CNN and CBS on election night. At 7:52 p.m., VNS declared Gore the winner in Florida. VNS was relying on exit poll infonna-

tion from 38 of its precincts and actual votes from 12 locations. Sheldon Gawiser, NBC's director of elections, said the data indicated there was a one in 1,000 chance that Gore wouldn't win. "All of the evidence was pointing toward a Gore call - all of it," agreed Kathleen Frankovic, director of surveys at CBS. None of the news organizations that use VNS make calls strictly through what it says; all have their own systems that take into account such factors as past voting histories in states. Frankovic and Gawiser are in charge at their networks, Carolyn Smith and Tom Hannon at CNN.John Ellis - Bush's first cousin - was the election team director at Fox News Channel , although the network said executive John Moody made the final calls. The AP's system involves election analysts and state bureau chiefs. The call for Gore was unanimous among the networks and the AP. "The exit poll gave Gore a small lead but no member nor VNS thought that it was enough to call the race with confidence," VNS said in a statement. "However, when reports of actual vote from sample or model precincts came in , they supported the survey results and allowed the race to be called." By around 9 p.m ., additional returns were making some analysts nervous and Bush himself was questioning the call. CNN put Florida in the undecided category at 9:50 p.m. and others folJowed suit. >SEE

Coca-ColaCo.pays to settle lawsuitfor racial discrimination ATLANTA (AP) - The Coca-Cola Co . agreed to pay $192.5 million to settle a racial discrimination suit by black workers. The settlement, announced Thursday, includes $113 million in cash, $43.5 million to adjust salaries, and $36 million for oversight of the company's employment practices. Coke also will pay $20 million in attorneys' fees and plans to donate $50 million to its foundation for community programs. And it agreed to create an ombudsman post and have its employment practices reviewed by an outside group. Shares of Coca-Cola were up 12.5 cents to $61.63 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The settlement given preliminary approval by U.S. District Judge Richard Story, in whose court the suit was filed in April 1999. Details of the settlement will be sent todsp about 2,000 current and former employees beginnin~ next month. The lawsuit claimed Coca-Cola discriminated against salaried black employees in pay, promotions and evaluations. The company denied the claims. The settlement covers salaried black employees in the United States who worked for Coke between April 1995 and June 2000. The seven-member watchdog group, charged with making sure Coca-Cola ill fair in pay, promotions and performance evaluations, was a centerpiece of the settlement- The task force will recommend changes and ensure they are carried out; Coke retains the option of challenging changes it feels are not financially or technically feasible. A toll-free telephone line will be established to receive complaints 24 hours a day. The task force is modeled after a similar group established four years ago in the settlement of a discrimination lawsuit against Texaco. Coca-Cola's will include former government officials in labor and civil rights, professors, lawyers and diversity consultants.

State SupremeCourtasked to rule on new government HEBER CITY, Utah (AP) - Wasatch County plans to ask the , state Supreme Court for guidance on a voter-approved change of government, including to determine how soon it should implement the change. Voters in last week's general election gave 57 percent approval to the measure, which changed the three-member county commission to a seven-member County Council with an appointed administrator. But apparently conflicting legal issues between the plan and state law have arisen, chiefly if the seven-member council will be elected in February, as the new plan seeks, or in the next general election in 2002, as state law apparently dictates. Other questions include the timing and manner of selecting candidates. "The people have spoken. Now it's time to figure out how to implement the new government," county attorney Derek PulJan said. Pullan is drafting a petition that would be signed by the group that sponsored the change and sent to the court . By law, the current three-member commission could have decided when the new council would be elected, Pullan said, but they decided to refer the decision to the high court. "It's just gotten too convoluted," Commissioner Mike Kohler n said. "Better to let the Supreme Court figure out the discrepancies."

Nichols wants new trial for

OklahomaCitybombing DENVER (AP) - Terry Nichols' lawyer asked a federal appeals court for a new trial in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing Wednesday, alleging the FBI withheld information that could have changed the outcome. Susan Foreman said FBI "lead sheets" with tips and other evidence had information blacked out before they were turned over to the defense. She said 62 of the sheets contained information 'l that could have helped Nichols. · 0 Prosecutor Sean Connelly told the three -judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that none of the evidence would have changed the outcome. Nichols, 45, was convicted in federal court and sentenced to life in prison for manslaughter and conspiracy in the 1995 bombing that killed 168 people and injured more than 500. Separately, Tunothy McVeigh was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death . Nichols is also awaiting trial in state court in Oklahoma on II murder charges that could bring the death penalty.

Jim Slade, ABC News science correspondent and journalist for more than 30 years, warned students of the pitfalls and difficulties facing journalists today in a short speech at the Eccles Conference Center Wednesday "Being objective is the idea~ and I doubt that any of us will ever achieve it," Slade said. He stressed that reporters should not think for their readers, but that they should serve as "the eyes and the ears of a story; but not the brain. " Slade has covered the U.S. space program almost since its inception. He said he got involved with the space program because he loves it. He said too many editors are uninterested in stories involving science, and that the vast amount of news stories focus on politics, economics and crime. 'We're afraid to bore, so we make stories fun, " Slade said. "Journalism isJublic service. One editor tol me, 'We do not educate.' That's baloney. We need to give people material to make well-informed decisions." Slade spoke on the importance of the space program in creating new technologies and furthering our knowledge of

the universe. He said there have been 7 5 safe flights into space since the Challenger explosion in 1986, but a lot of people still question the value of the space program because of that crash. After his speech, Slade responded to questions from the audience. "I started small - small radio and TV stations where I got to learn what everyone in the place does. I've always been the kind of person who will fly the plane or the simulator if they'll let me, " Slade said. "That way, when I'm doing the story I know what it feels like in the cockpit. " He also spoke on the importance of loving what you do. 'You have to immerse yourself in your subject," he said. "If I didn't love the space program I couldn't stand some of the boring briefings I have to sit through." When asked about the , media's coverage of the current election., Slade said the media made a mistake in calling the results of the election before they really knew, but that the media promises to be more careful after each election, and then breaks that promise during each subsequent election due to competition and market pressure.

JBriefs USUathletes take time out for service Athletes are taking time out for their community during the holiday season. The student athletes will be volunteering at Terrace Grove and Providence Assisted Living in Cache Valley on Nov. 20. All the athletes are members of a student athlete mentor class at Utah State University for junior varsity transfer and freshmen athletes. The idea behind the class is to help athletes make adjustments to college life through exposure to different activities through the semester. This section is part of the community service activity. The athletes will participate in various activities, including decorating the facilities, playing games, listen to and telling stories and bowling with residents.

The Utah State University Art department is currently displaying a photo exhibit in the mini gallery of the Fine Arts Center, Room 109. The photos on display are from photographer Carol Lubin-Reiss and the display is titled "Beyond the Literal." As part of a push to bring in more artists' work from outside Utah, the Art department sent .out a call for entries this year to have artists display their work at USU . There was an advertisement placed in magazines on the East and West coasts. They did ·this last year, but only Utah artists responded. This year 13 artists responded, and four of those artists were picked. The photo

display is part of a year-long process and will feature LubinReiss' work through November. Different artists' work will be on display in January, March and September. "The benefit to having artists out,;ide of the state hang their work is so other photographers can get exposure to · what other photographers are doing," said Heather Leary, display. coo'rdinator. "It will enable them to take someone's idea, and it will give them ideas." Lubin-Reiss was chosen because of her use of a plastic camera. Her pictures have fuzzy edges; none of the photographs come out with crisp edges. Leary said she also had unique subject matter showing animal figurines as lawn ornaments . She finds the figurines

everywhere from Scotland to Beverly Hills. They cross over geographic boundaries and economic boundaries. She displays a mansion in Beverly Hills and then a house in a rural farming town in Ohio. In some photos she displays the animal figurines to be the center of attention, and, in others, they are the backdrop. The pictures sometimes vary in form because of how she frames the shots, Leary said. The art exhibit displays 24 pictures with a little explanation of what the pictures represent. There is a comment book next to the entrance as well. "Students should really take the time to stop in," Leary said. "It is something really fun and interesting to look at and enjoy for 20 minut es."

Kevin So will perform delta blues and folk music with touches of jazz and hip-hop beats tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in the Utah State University's Eccles Auditorium. "He's very talented; he has an incredible voice and perceptive song writing," said Blair Larsen of the Bridger Folk Music Society, the group producing the show. She has seen him perform twice at folk festivals in Texas and said she was impressed. Larsen talked with him at the festival and invited him to play in Logan. "He is very energetic on stage and very personable," Larsen said, "He's kind of new on the folk music scene, so he's looking to expand his base. He's never played in Utah before." Larsen said So is excited to play in Utah and get some exposure. She also said the valley has a good folk audience, and they

won't be disappointed tomorrow night. The Bridger Folk Music Society has been producing concer-..sfor 20 years, and Larsen said they have a reputation of putting on good shows. "That's the gosh honest truth," Larsen said. Originally from Boston, So has been nominated six times for a Boston Music Award. He started playing the piano when he was 5 and eventually picked up the clarinet, bassoon and guitar. He also started singing. So was chosen in 1998 as one of the "best unsi'gned artists" by the internationally broadcast program "Acoustic Cafe," according to a press release. He is currently arranging tours in California, Europe and his ancestral homeland of China. "It's going to be a great show," Larsen said. Tickets are $10 at Sunrise Cyclery, Chapter II Books or Adventure Sports or $12 at the door.

Utah State University offers students interested in opera the chance to learn all about it. That includes performing, and the fruits of their labors will be on display tonight and Saturday as students in USU's opera workshop course present two operas. The operas, "Cox and Box" and "A Game of Chance," are both one-act shows, under the direction of music department professor John Mauldin, who teaches the workshop this semester. "The purpose of the opera workshop is to give students opportunities to perform in a workshop setting where the focus is on acting and music interpretation," Mauldin said. He said they also learn about all that goes into preparing for an operatic role. "Students receive training in preparing for a role so that the acting comes a little easier. For instance, we do background work to investigate a character." The workshop class covers the show's acting, but it also provides behind-thescenes details, including piano accompaniment, hair

Math: The great

►REYNOLDS

socialdivider There are really only two kinds of peopie in the world: People who understand math and people who would rather have all of their fingernails and ~---------toenails pulled out while e~ Michael Flatly Irish step- ......... dances on their kidneys ~ ------than figure out the hypotenuse of an obtuse triangle. ·1 1 am one of the latter. I must admit, though, every once in awhile I do get the urge to run out and figure out just how tall the pine tree is in my front yard using the length of its shadow and the position of the sun in the sky. Call me crazy. Now, basic math is good and needed and typically useful, but there is a level of math that the average human brain should not be subjected to. You can recognize this kind of math if you encounter any of the following warning signs: • If any two vehicles are traveling to the same destination at any speed. • If 11X", "Y" and "Z" add up to be anything other than pulling up your zipper. • If you are ever required to buy a calculator that has more buttons to push than

a room full of vegetarian-feminists. Because I am a writer, math is not so high on my favorite-things-to-do list. It falls right above having my prostate ~hecked and _rignt below watching any movie • with Richard Gere or Madonna in it. My wife, on the other hand, was doing college algebra before she stopped beating up neighborhood boys. She is an accountant and loves it. This is really the reason I married her. I don't do taxes; I don't have to calculate the tip at the end of the meal at a restaurant and never have to be the banker when we play Monopoly. We are lucky. Most math and non-math people get along about as well as a butterfly ballot and a resident of Palm Beach County, Fla. So engineers, accountants and mathematicians, go on and continue in your quest to find the square root of "X" raised to the "Y" power, and the rest of us will rest in the peace and solace of the wonderful world of not caring.

His guitars were literally an extension of his own body and personality. Watching his fingers fly across the 12 strings of his acoustic guitar, it seemed almost effortless. His concentration was complete, his skills polished to razor precision. He should have been seated on some kind of platform to give the crowd a better view of those fingers. Reynolds used a distortion pedal for several songs. These abstract numbers showed a darker side than the other highly-technical numbers. He ended his performance with such a song, letting the haunting cords ring as he exited the stage. His lack of showmanship seems typical of someone immersed in the music. His claim to fame is through a real showman, Dave Matthews. His dry senseof humor almost redeemed him as he came on stage and joked that the empty area around him was big enough for a rodeo. But he failed to relate to his audience. He expertly expressed himself through music but didn't make the crowd part of the performance. He closed himself completely off while bearing his soul in his songs. He is a solo artist.

{GoodMan Charlie - Brown) will closely resemble comic strip CYNDI McCOY

Staff Writer

If you don't like "Peanuts," the comic strip, stop reading right now. For everyone else, Utah State Theatre will present "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the Morgan Theater in the Chase Fine Arts Center. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Charles M. Schulz's comic strip, UST is staging the original version of Clark Gesner's 1967 musical, under the direction of Kevin Doyle, associate professor of acting and directing. The show's characters include all the comic strip favorites, including Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Patti, Schroeder and Snoopy, as they see what all the fuss over a little red-haired girl is about. Along with baseball, the dreaded kite-eating tree and Snoopy's dinner - dish dreams, all the events are straight from the original comic strip. This show is an acute reflec tion of the original comic strip, written before the television specials and all the major merchandise came on the market. Charlie Brown is played by USU graduate student Phillip Lowe. Linus, Lucy, Patti, Schroder and Snoopy are

played by USU undergraduate students Eric Van Tielen, Amber Tuttle, Lillith Fields, Cory Castillo and Katie Ackerman. Young and old alike will enjoy this magical adventure through the world of Charlie Brown, said Director Kevin Doyle. "These characters are real because they are children dealing with universal prob lems ... from the perspective of pure innocence," Doyle said. "They act from the heart." Doyle said one possible reason for the nearly univer - . sal popularity of the comic strip lies in the fact that it reflects the "best and honest parts of real life." Over the course of the 50year run of the comic, people of all ages have developed a history with the "Peanuts" characters, and because of this can all come tog ether to enjoy this show, he said. "I remember actually read ing some of the strips [that are played out in the show]," Doyle said. Tickets can be purchased through the USU ticket office in person or by calling 797-0305. Prices are $8 for adults, $6 for senior citizens, USU faculty and staff and $5 for children. USU students get in free with ID. Children under 6 will not be admitted.

Cache Valley has its own band of masterminds, and th ough they are often unapprec iated, their sound and talent guarantee they will find success one day. They are called The Laugh. The band received its name when keyboardist Jeff H ibshmn met the band Ramschedt. He told them he needed a name for a band he was in. They to ld him his band shou ld call themselves "Das Laufen."

He took the idea home to the rest of the guys and they guessed th'e translation of the German phrase was "the laugh." They later found out it meant "to run." But The Laugh had already caught on with the guys and they thought it was cool, so it stuck. Guitarist and lead singer Dave McDaniel said The Laugh describes itself as "some industrial act playing Cure songs in a good way." The members of the band include: McDaniel, Hibshmn, Danny Kidd on drums, Paul Dunn on guitar and back-up vocals and Cody Goodsell on bass. ,, Though bassist Goodsel l just joined the band a month ago, tMe rest of the guys have been togetrer for about four years. Kidd works at KSM Guitars, so the band has the privilege of practicing in the attic above the store. This a major advantage for them because they don't have the worry of dealing with any of the noise-ordinance laws. The Laugh has not alwpys had an easy time or the convenience of having hookups. The biggest problem hindering the band's growth has been its lack of organization. "It gets really tough to make an agreement and the n we get frustrations with our instruments," Kidd said. "When we do make an agreement, we have great results." This is evident in how The Laugh plays together. Its sound has continuity to it that isn't common in Logan. They blend their instruments so well to create a sound that is more than just loud noise. It is incomparable to anything you see around today - especially anything in Cache Valley. They appear to be dark and even scary, but senior Mylie Thompson thinks "any one with sense or people who want to get away from the mainstream music will want to listen to The Laugh." The band members write

Since bursting onto the Broadway scene some twenty years ago, Tohy,Grammy and Academy Award-winning composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has brought to the stage a host of musical blockbusters that have taken the theatre wo rld by stormT Now, the biggest hits from these inspirational work s have been fashioned into an evening of theatre music that is, like the songs themselves, un forgettableT

Included are great songs and theatre music f ram... T H E PH ANTON OF THE OPERA • CATS • EVITA • JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR • STARLIGHT EXPRESS • JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT • SONG AND DANCE • REQUIEM • ASPECTS OF LOVE • SUNSET BOULEVARD • WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND and much more!

all their own music and lyrics. Sometimes a song wi l I start w ith passages or poems from a huge poetry book Kidd writes in. Then the melodies wi ll flow with the words. Other times the guys will write music and then put words to it. "Our music questions conventional music," said Goodsell. "We are going to play something people have rarely heard before." And this band is going to make it. They are not just five guys in a small band liv ing in Logan. They are five guys dedicated to their band, and there is no question they are going to try their best. There is no question that they will someday be successful. If they aren't, they wil l be disappointed with themselves more than anything. To do this they know they wil l have to get out of Utah where their sound is most often not accepted. ' Goodsell has heard The Laugh described as being "dark". "We recently played a show on the campus of Utah State University," Kidd said. " It was a freak show; I have never seen so many people file out so fast. There was about 250 peop le who left and 50 who stayed. We on ly p layed for about a half. hour ." The Laugh does have a small but loyal following in that sense. They have played a few times in Salt Lake City. They have played in Logan 12. times, mostly at the Retract when it was still open. The Laugh has connections in Ogden and Salt Lake City, where they will be p laying more shows soon. The band has a CD, though it is not ready for release because it is still being finished. These guys definite ly love to play together and find happiness in playing for people who want to hear them. They find joy in mak ing others happy with their different, yet true, music. "They give hope to a minority music genre that needs to be represented in the homogenized Matchbox 20 culture," Thompson said.

USU will take on either South Floridaor Davidsonon Saturdayand then play a third game on Sunday.

Assistant Sports Editor

Utah State assistant basketball coach Randy Rahe said the teams competing against his Aggies in the Top of the World Classic this weekend in Fairbanks, Alaska, are largely unknown. Jackson State? Davidson? Austin Peay? Even though hardly anyone knows about these teams, Rahe said he knows one thing - most of them are good. Fortunately for Rahe, the team he knows the most ~bout is the Aggies' first opponent m the tournament today- Santa Clara University. When asked what team the Aggies should look out for in the

tourney, USU forward Shawn Daniels was frank: "Every team that's there," he said. Other teams in the tournament include University of AlaskaFairbanks, the University of Colorado and the University of South Florida. The Aggies are 2-2 all-time against Santa Clara. Santa Clara. won the last time the two teams played - back in 1976. The only other team the Aggies have played in the tournament field is Colorado. The Buffaloes have an 18-5 edge in that series. ''We're ready to play games that really count," Daniels said. The USU offense is especially ready, according to Daniels.

"I think the offense will be there no matter what," he said. In their last game the Aggies posted an 82-55 win against the California West All-Stars. USU was led by likely starting small forward Curtis ·Bobb, a senior who scored 18 points on 8-12 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds. Junior guard Tony Brown had 13 points while Daniels and point guard Bernard Rock scored 10 apiece. ''We're finally ready to hit the road and get out of Logan," Rock said. The team's defense has picked up and everything is going smooth► SEE TOP OF WORLD

A chance at the Big \Vest Championship gone. A shot at a howl game - gone. So there is no reason to play Division 1AA Idaho State University, right? USU head coach Mick Dennehy disagrees. "I am really, really pleased that we have another opportunity," he said. "I would hate to go into the winter feeling like I feel now ." After being dumped by Boise State University 66-38 Saturday, the Aggies (5-5) will have to regroup to register a winning record - something ISU (5-5) is fighting for, as well and something Dennehy wants to mal.:e a fixture in the program. · Obviously it is going to be a huge game for them and it better damn well be for us," Dennehy said. A win would also make Dennehy the first USU coach to-register a winning record in his first year since 1973. The Bengals own th,e same record as the Aggies, but the two teams found opposite' ways of getting there. While USU had a rough early season before running off four straight games until losing Saturday, ]SU had lost four straight before snapping that streak with a win over Montana State University. And eac h team will be going into this game with a very different perspective. The Benga'ls rolled up 58 points on th~ Lumberjacks while the Aggies couldn't do anything to stop the Broncos Saturday. "I don 't think we did enough to help our defense," Dennehy said. "Obviously they -

The game no one

watched Wednesday the UniP.d States averted a major disaster in the world's biggest sport. Haven't heard about t? I'm not surprised. The U.S. men's soccer team defeated Barbados 4-0 in on the road to advance to the final qualifying round. It was a win•or-gohome game for the United States. Because Guatemala beat =osta Rica, a loss or a tie for thE Americans vs. Barbados would have eliminated them. But almost nobcdy watched the game. The pivotal game was pushed to ESPN2 in the middle of the day without any fanfare or much promotion. What was showing on ESPN at(he same time? Senior PGA Golf Today and inline skating. I knoV! nobody would have missed dose shows. SportsCenter only !pent one minute on the game a,d ridiculed the team in the lead-ir. "To finish dead last in the World Cup, you have to first qualify," said the anchor, referring to Uni'ed States' poor showing in France '98. It just goes to show 'hat soccer is only going to make readlines if it crashes and burns. The national team has shown a lot of progress this year. The men's uncer-23 Olympic team reached the semifinals - its best finish by hr - and the women's team took home the silver medal. Nobody knows he Am\rican team showed incred ble depth during the qualifying round. Nobody saw how important Major League Soccer has been to the program. The goa! that broke the game wide open SJ the United States could jon Honduras, Jamaica, M~xico, Trinidad and Tobago a,d either Costa Rica or Guatemcla in the final qualifying round was Clint Mathis' goal in the 63rd minute. Mathis, now a fixture on the New York/New Jersey /Aetrostars' roster, might never have had a chance to play on the ratio nal team without MLS. I guess better coverage is asking for a lot. American soccer fans were lucky enough to have the ' game televised at all - only a few games were broadcasted in the six-game round . If a fan wasn't constantly checking the schedule, they would have never know the United States played. The media has continued to ignore the sport that - more than any other - ca11bring the world together every focr years with relative peace. The c.nly time Americans hear ab-Jut international soccer is when some crazed fans beat on each rnher. Imagine society's 'Jpinion of hockey if all anyone ':ieard was how Marty Mcsorley '.ook a stick to someone's head. Fans would miss the speed, beauty and tradition that makes hockey a great sport to watch. , But the media coverage comes down to soccer fans. Just not enough people are watc~ing the game or yelling loud enough to improve media coverage. So if you care, watch the games, complain when they are not on at a decent hour or station. Like voting , the responsibility rests on the individual to come through. I'll be watching. Aaron Morton is the sports editor of the Statesman. He welcomes comments at slzqr@cc.usu.edu

Following the matclagainst Long Beach StatrCTniversityon Nov. 4, hea,coach Tom Peterson predicid that if the Aggies could wi·the last three games of the se,,on, they would receive a god seed in the NCAA r)urnament. USU already ianaged to knock off Idaho ;rate University and Boise State University last weekend. The Vandals are bringing a 13-12 record into the match. The Vandals are 4-10 in league action, which puts them at sixth place in the BWC. The

conference wins for Idaho came against the same two teams, the University of California at Irvine and California State University at Fullerton, both of which are experiencing losing seasons. This is Vandals coach Debbie Buchanan's first season as a collegiate head coach. Although Idaho leads the Aggies 7-6 in the all-time series, USU has won the last three matches. As the season draws to a close, three Aggies are aiming to close in on records. Setter Chelsi Neves is 10 assists away from tying Randi Winn's 1993 record of l,340 in a single season. This is Neves' first year playing at Utah State. Senior Denae Mohlman, who has posted 121 block assists this season, is six block assists shy of tying the singleseason record she set as a freshman. With the six block assists she recorded last weekend, Mohlman has a total of 405 career block assists, putting her in ninth place in the BWC. If outside hitter Amy Crosbie can post 23 kills in the match against Idaho, she will tie with Moh Iman for 444 kills

in a single season. Crosbie already owns USU's record for all-time kills with 1,423. The Aggies' 9-2 mark at home is the fourth best record USU has had in school history. The most home wins were recorded by the 1979 team, that went 18-0. Second and third place belong to the teams of 1978 and 1982, both of whom posted 11 victories at home. Along with the wins at home came the fans. As of last week's attendance figures, USU was 17th in the country, averaging 1,280 fans per match. The NCAA Tournament pairings will be announced on Sunday, Nov . 26. University of the Pacific sits atop the Big '' 'est standings with a record of 13-1. Not far behind is the University of California at Santa Barbara, which holds a 13-2 league mark. The Pacific Tigers will clinch their second consecutive Big West Title and will have an automatic berth into the tournament if they defeat uC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton. Pacific is ranked No. 11 in the country. Other Top25 Big West teams include USU, UC Santa Barbara and LBSU.

Dennehy said. And Dennehy knows this team well, having beaten ISU in all four meet ings including a 73-23 win last season . "Larry Lewis and his guys have done a great joh," Dennehy said. "They are prohahly ahead of schedule in terms of the rebuilding of that program at Idaho State." This year's Bengals are stacked with experience especially on offense. The starting quarterback, nm ningback, tight end and all three wide receivers are seniors. So they could give the young Aggie defensive line a run for their money . That line will be missing tackle Jorge Tapia, but senior Nate

Larsen will be back from an injury. Linebacker Cade Smith, who played ineffectively in only six plays vs. BSU, should play more Saturday. Cornerback Shawn Healy will be out as well. On the offensive side of the ball, only Chris Stallworth will sit out for "violation of team policy," Dennehy said. Utah State has a chance to go over the 100,000 fan mark Saturday. If 14,328 fans brave the cold, USU will have recorded 100,000 or more fans for only the second time in school history. So far this season, the Aggies have averaged 21,418 - second only to 1996 when USU averaged 21,418.

After playing in Utah and Colorado for the past month, the USU men's hockey team is hoping its weekend trip to Southern California will help jump start the team in preparation for the second ha If of the season. USU will take on San Diego State University Fri<lay night and Long Beach State University Saturday night. Both games are slated to start at 7 p.m . Despite their 3-8-3 record, forward Deryk Anderson said the Aggies are confident they can get back on track; noting the team beat the Aztecs both times the two played last year. He said most Aggie losses could have gone either way, they just need to work on putting together three solid periods. "We 've had a bad tendency of playing to the level of our competition," he said. "We need to focus on executing our game

USUsigns final fall Pirlyer

.ThreeUSUseniorsnamedto BWCteam Three Utah State soccer players were named to all-Big West teams, it was announc ed by the conference office Thursday. Senior J:1yme Gordy was selected to the Big West Conference first-team, while fellow seniors Heather Cox and Marnie Bartelson were named as honorable mention selections . For Gordy, a forward from Cheyenne, Wyo., this was the fourth straight year that she has received honors from the conference office as she was an honorable mention selection as a freshman, a second-team choice in 1998 and

USU head coach Stew Morrill announced that Mike Ahmad, a junior college transfer, has signed a letter of intent to play basketball for USU. Ahmad is a 6-fobt-9, 225pound junior-to -be from Irvine Valley (Calif.) Junior College. He averaged 13.5 points and eight rebounds per game en route to earning all-conference honorable mention honors as a freshman in 2000. His junior college coach Jerry Hernandez

was the first Aggie ever named as a first-team all-league selection in 1999. Bartelson, a midfielder from Coupeville, Wash., tied with Gordy for a team-high 10 point~ on the season. She ranked 14th in the Big West in individual scoring and finished the year with four goals and two assists. Cox, a defender from Draper, started all 17 games for Utah State and contributed nine shots on goal while anchoring the Aggie defense.

Thousands turn out at midnight to welcome Clinton to Vietnam T.'.RRENCE HUNT

Associated Press HANOI, Vietnam - President Clinton began a historic visit Thursday to Vietnam, stirring painful memories back home of America's longest and most unpopular war and promising a former enemy "to build a different furure." Clinton arrived in the communist capital late at night, the first U.S. president ever in Hanoi, a city once bombed by American warplanes. The welcoming ceremony was put off until morning, but that didn't stop thousands and thousands of Vietnamese from turning out at midnight to catch a glimpse of Clinton's limousim: and jam the square in front of his hotel. Even though the visit received scant advance publicity, the Vietnamese lined the streets, some just looking on and others waving and clapping when the president's motorcade passed . "This only happens once in a thousand years," said homemaker Tran Thi Lan, 50. Clinton was to be formally welcomed Friday by President Tran Due Luong at an honor guard ceremony in the courtyard of the French-built presidential palace on Ba Dinh Square. Reaching out to a generation of students born after the war, Clinton will speak at Hanoi :National University to describe his vision for a new chapter in U.S.-Vietnamese relations. State-run television, in an unprecedented move, was to broadcast the address live. More than 50 U.S. corporations sent executives to Vietnam during Clinton's visit in hopes of gaining a foothold in what they believe is a vast untapped market of 78 million people. As a young man, Clinton "opposed and despised" the Vietnam War, organized protest marches and avoided the military draft. As com mander in chief three decades later, Clinton acknowledged that "A lot of people still bear the wounds of war" in both countries. The war cost 58,000 American lives and tore the nation with suffering and turmoil. The U.S. military buildup began in 1961, growing to 60,000 combat troops within four years and to 543,000 by 1969. U.S. forces in 1973 made a humiliating withdrawal that still haunts the Pentagon . North Vietnams army captured Saigon in 1975, leading to the unification of the

country under communist control. The losses to the Vietnamese people were staggering : 3 million dead and thousands missing. "The best thing that we can do to honor the sacrifice and service of those who believed on both sides that what they were doing is right, is to find a way to build a different future, and that's what we're trying to do," Clinton said in an interview with The Associated Press. In a cautious rapprochement, Clinton lifted a trade embargo against Vietnam in 1994 and the next year restored diplomatic relations. He opened the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi in 1996 and in 1998 issued his first waiver of a law that bars trade relations with communist nations that deny citizens the right to emigrate. InJuly, the United States and Vietnam signed a sweeping trade agreement. "I think it's a new chapter," Clinton said. "The thing what makes America work over time is our ability to visualize new futures and achieve them." Even as Washington and Hanoi look to the future, the United States still searches for missing servicemen and pursues rumors of Americans left behind when the last known POvVs went home . Clinton said that "so far all the rumors and all the leads have turned up dead ends." The United States lists 1,992 Americans unaccounted for from the war. The Pentagon has stopped pursuing 646 of the cases, and the rest remain open. Clinton on Saturday willgo to a rice

paddy outside Hanoi where experts are trying to recover remains at a site where it is believed Air Force Capt. Lawrence G. Evert, of Cody, '\,Vyo.,crashed in an F-105 jet on Nov. 8, 1967. Clinton is the third U.S. president to visit Vietnam. Lyndon B. Johnson went to Vietnam twice as president and Richard M. Nixon once, in 1969. Pete Peterson, the former pilot and POW Clinton sent to Hanoi as the first postwar U.S. ambassador in 1997, said Clinton would see a rapidly changing nation. Peterson said Vietnam has made significant political and economic reforms even though it is one of the world's poorest nations, with a per capita annual income of $3 72. He said ··«;»~ the Vietnamese are enjoying significantly greater individual freedom but human rights problems persist. Clinton will not meet with political dissidents during his visit, Peterson said. "Obviously we want to have as constructive a visit as we possibly can." "We don't need rose colored glasses here," Clinton said in the AP interview. "We still have differences with the Vietnamese about the form of government they have .. .. But I think it's time to write a new chapter here." Clinton was accompanied by his daughter Chelsea and mother-in-law, Dorothy Rodham. First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived Thursday from Israel where she delivered a eulogy at the funeral of Leah Rabin, widow of former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.

RICK VECCHIO

1 LIMA, Peru - Opposition lawmakers wrested control of Congress from President Alberto Fujimori on Thursday, further undermining his grasp on power and raising the possibility he will be forced from office on grounds of "moral incapacity." Valentin Paniagua won the post of Congress president, defeating Fujimori loyalist Ricardo Marcenaro in a 64- 51 vote. The post was left vacant after another staunch ally of the president, Martha Hildebrandt, was voted out Monday. Opposition lawmakers burst into applause as the count showed Paniagua moving ahead. His election gave opposi tion forces control of Congress for the 'first time since 1992. Paniagua said he would not stand in the way of debate on a motion to force Fujimori from office for "moral incapacity" - as permitted by the Constitution . "The request to vacate the presidency of the republic is a measure that the Congress can adopt when there are certain objective circumstances that the Congress must judge," he told reporters. It was unclear when the morion, presented Monday, would be considered .

AssociatedPress THE HAGUE, :Netherlands (AP) The European Union rejected a proposal Thursday from the United States , Japan and Canada on how to cut levels of greenhouse gases that are raising the earth's temperature. The U.S. -led plan, which environmental groups also harshly rejected, suggests using so-called carbon "sinks" - forests and lands that absorb carbon dioxide pol lution - to help meet targets of carbon dioxide reduction agreed to under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The 15-nation European Union said it opposes the proposal because it "does not ensure the environmental integrity of the Kyoto Protocol." The rejection on the fourth day of the conference set the stage for a tough battle when environment ministers arrive next week at the U.N. Climate Conference. They are expected to agree to concrete measures to combat global warming. Under the Kyoto Protocol, reached at a meeting in Japan, world leaders agreed to lower global greenhouse gas emissions before 2012 by 5 .2 percent from their 1990 levels. The EU statement added that the U.S. proposal was too vague and "open ended."

Marcenaro said he was sure the opposition would not try to force Fujimori from office. "We believe they understand that this would only make things worse," he said. Congressman Daniel Estrada, of the left-leaning Union for Peru party, which holds three seats in the 120-member legislature, said the national crisis could only be solved if Fujimori was ousted. Fujimori's government showed signs of disarray Thursday amid a corruption scandal revolving around his fugitive ex-spy chief, Vladimiro Montesinos. Fujimori was widely criticized for leaving Peru on Monday to attend thePacific Rim trade summit in Brunei, and his trip sparked a rumor Wednesday that he was seeking political asylum in Malaysia. Fujimori aides and Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad denied the rumor. Fujimori reportedly headed to Tokyo on Thursday to visit his son, who lives there, and to secure a loan for Peru from the Japanese government. It was Montesinos' appearance in a leaked video apparently bribing an opposition congressman that forced Fujimori's decision in September to step down after elections next year. As evidence mounts against

Montesinos, pressure is building for Fujimori to resign before the April 8 elections. "President Fujimori is morally incapac itated to manage the transition from dictatorship to democracy," said opposition leader Alejandro Toledo, speaking to Peru's radio station Radioprogramas from France. "Fujimori could fall tomorrow, or the day after. I don't think he is going to last until Dec. 31." Toledo, who boycotted the May presidential runoff against Fujimori alleging the vote was being rigged, said he planned to run again in April, hopefully as a unity candidate with the support of Peru's various opposition parties . Montesinos is under investigation for laundering at least $58 million in foreign bank accounts. He faces criminal complaints in Peru ranging from directing state-sponsored death squads to skimming profits from the narcotics trades during his 10 years as Fujimori's top aide. Fujimori was first elected in 1990 and was handed a landslide re-election in 1995 from Peruvians, grateful to him for halting guerrilla violence and ending the economic chaos of the 1980s. His victory to a third five-year term this year was marred by irregularities and widespread fraud allegations.

It said the proposal was overly focussed on short-term measures and "does not solve remaining problems for the future." European delegates and environmentalists had predicted that "sinks" might be the most critical issue to be resolved dur ing the two-week conference. About 2,000 government negotiators from about 150 countries were working around the clock to seek agreements on cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. plan also envisions agricul"ture and woodland projects that would count as reductions in atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide without requiring curbs in emissions from factory smokestacks. Some industrial countries have such extensive forests that they could meet their entire tar gets without changing the release of pollution . "We strongly support including sink activities," U.S. delegate David Sandalow said. "'\,Vebelieve this can be an important tool to fight global warming." U.S. officials told The Associated Press on \Vednesda y that they plan to meet half their Kyoto targets with credits from sinks. Otherwise, the officials said, the Unit ed States would never have agreed to the protocol. Under the Kyoto agreement, Europe would cut 8 percent off its 1990 emission levels;Japan would reduce output 6 percent; and the United States would trim 7

percent. "We are profoundly concerned and foresee that some of these measures could threaten the survival of our people," said Rosemary Kuptana of Canada's Inuit, (Eskimo) population . "Our fragile ecosystem is being compromised." Global warming doesn't just threaten rare animal species, she said, it can also wipe out entire nations that strongly rely on narural surroundings for food and shelter. Anotl1er point of contention that will face government ministers in the second week of talks is the issue of emission credit trading, whereby rich nations would be able to purchase emissions credits from less polluting countries. "We do not wish to be museums for trees in order to allow industrial countries to continue with their pollution," said Leonard Nurse, director of the Coastal Zone Management Unit on the Caribbean island of Barbados. Smaller and poorer countries, often the most vulnerable to rising sea levels and severe storms that result from climate change, fear their worri es won't be addressed during high-level talks next week. "The Kyoto Protocol must be ratified as a first step," Kuptana said. "The dramatic changes we see in Canada's north are a signal of what's in store for other regions of the world."

because, unlike the gossipy facts of O.J. and Monica, they will influence the way the country operates. This election could forever change the entire voting process, including the importance of the Electoral College and ballot format. America is looked at as a model for democracy across the world, and what happens in this country affects the way the world looks at democracy. This should not be rushed, and it should not be seen as a burden. Americans are not obsessed with this because of the scandal. Americans are obsessed with it because of the importance the results will have on the nation and on the world.

The scan, donated by St. Mary Medical Center in Long Beach, Calif., showed Kai had an overgrown membrane covering lier nasal passages, which was simply punctured so she could breathe normally again. "She was arf-arfing as she left," said Dr. Robert Ranke, a St. Mary's radiologist. Hooray for medical advancements and donations by local hospitals. On behalf of aquatic animal lovers everywhere, thank you. That's just great, the kind of thing that reminds me how desperately I wanted to be a vet when I was little - or Dr. Doolittle. sn't that great? I have a friend who broke his nose a few years ago and he's having all kinds of breathing difficulties. Not that it's a real hazard yet, but he said he'd love to be able to have something like Kai' s procedure done.

~-----------' This morning I read three different articles about human interaction with three different species. One shows the wonderful, loving nature of people, one shows the vengeful side of people and one shows the absolute stupidity. Bear with me. Kai is an elderly sea lion, weighing in at about 300 pounds. She had trouble . breathing as she lay in her pen at the Aquarium of the Pacific and was taken to a local hospita I for scans of tier head. At first veterinarians at the aquarium feared she had

Ahhhh. Fresh air. And on the flip side of that coin, the author of "Jaws" is asking people in Australia - where there have been three fatal shark r1ttacks on humans this year - to seriously consider the situation from the shark's point of view. He had no idea what he was chomping, except it was obviously some type of meat. He just did what sharks do: Eat stuff in the water. The "bear guy" in Montana is also having difficulties in his neck of tne woods. His problems aren't with the bears, though. They're with the people. If you leave garbage and animal carcasses lying around outside or hanging in your garage, you might as well send out engraved, embossed invitations to the woodland creatures for Sunday dinner. Is it really that difficult to understand? I didn't think so. So, the bear is really

cute. I've always wanted a polar bear of my very own. They're just so fluffy and cuddly-looking and ... and ... cute. I begged my parents for one of thosP huge. ;ihovP.ground pools so that my polar bear would have room to grow and be happy. I'd even throw in some ice chunks for him to play wilh . Reality check: Bel:lrs and humans don 't play well together . Animals can be vicious (though they don't do it to be mean the way people do) and aren't cute and cuddly no matter how many Disney movies try to say they are. As for the shark attacks, I'm sure the families of victims are terribly angry w ith the animal and would like some vengeance.

I'm changing my major to university administration Dear Editor, After reading the article about our new president ' s new home, I have decided to change my major . I am changing it to university administration. Why, do you ask? Because I think it would be pretty cool to have a job with such perks. Just think of it: You want to quit but still want to get paid for a year afte r you quit, and the company agrees. How about a job where the company builds you an $800,000 new home to move into upon your arrival. Also, being able to walk into a dedication of a build-

ing 20 minutes late and have the audience stand up and clap at your arrival would be great. Sounds good , huh? Well, this job, of course, would have its down sides, too. It would really be upsetting to have to move furniture to your garage if you ever wanted to have a party. And it would bother some people to have your neighbors mad at you because of parking problems at your parties. But all in all, I think it would be a great job. I am glad I am changing my major.

Mr. Groves challenged the general population to give him a example of non-sexual reproduction in nature .

In addition , the bonobo apes (which are 98 percent genetically similar to humans) exhibit definite

I think not. I do not bel ieve is was Mr. Timothy ' s intent to belittle Christians or their beliefs. He was merely taking a stab at intolerance, and I applaud him for that.

You can hear them now, can't you? The liberal Democratic horde - spoil sports because their guy, Al Gore, didn't win the state of Florida (at least not yet) clamoring for the Electoral College to be abolished? We didn't hear such talk when Bill Clinton won two successive elections or wheh John F. Kennedy won the 1960 election in a close popular vote but with an Electoral College vote of a considerable margin. We hear it now, with complaints that Gore, the poor guy, won the popular vote but might lose the presidential race because of ele ctoral votes. It's happened before three times. In 1824, neither candidate had enough electoral votes, and John Quincy Adams won through a vote in the House of Representatives. In 1876, neither Samuel Tilden nor · Rutherford 8. Hayes had enough electoral votes. Hayes became president when a special electoral commission granted him

eight of 15 votes . President Grover Cleveland outpolled Benjamin Harrison in 1888 among America's voters but couldn't muster enough electoral votes to be re-elected . (Cleveland won again in 1892, making him our 22nd and 24th presidents.) Somehow , the republic survived it. That is italicized because that's what the United States is: a republic . Americans itching to end the Electoral College must think this is a democracy or something. A trip to the di ctionary helps. The Random House Dictionary of the English Language defines a republic as " a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of cit izens entitl ed to vote and is exer cised by representativ es chosen dire ctly or indire ctly by them." A democr acy is "government by the people; a form of government in whi ch the supreme power is vested in the people by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system" or is "a state or society characterized by formal equality of rights and privile ges." Rep. Elijah E. Cummin gs, a Democr at who represents Maryland 's 7th District, is one who feels Am erica

needs to be less of a republic and more of a democra cy, probably in the latter definition of the word. The electoral system, Cummings said he has believed since his college days, has to go. "It goes against the ' on e man, one vote' rule, " Cummings said, and can lead to situations such as the 2000 presidential elect ion, with confused voters seeing the candidate they chose win the popular election but lose the presidentia l race. The result, he said, is that some folks will feel their vote doesn't count. What does Cummings think of the argument that the Electoral College system was devised to prevent larger, more populous states from dominating presidential elections th rou gh force of numbers? "I can certainly understand that, " the congressman answered. "(But) where one chooses to live is that person' s decision. I can't look at it (the presidential election) from a 'small state, large state' concept. I look at it as on Election Day, all our votes count. Votes do count, but they will count even more if we do away with the Elector al Coll ege." Let' s ponder the possible

consequences of such a move . Gore won the popular vote, by 97,773 votes, according to figures published in Thursday's ed itions of The Baltimore Sun. He won California by 1,199,606 votes and New York by 1,523,667. You don't have to be Phi Beta Kappa material to see how, with strictly a popular vote, heavily populated states giving one candidate a plethora of votes will consistently choose the president and give those states an inordinate amount of power in choosing all presidents. " One man, one vote" sounds good, but it ignores the fact that 60 percent of the states told Gore to go back to Tennessee, his home state, where he didn ' t win either. Gore won the District of Columbia by 144,984 votes. His advanta ge in Baltimore was 128, 191 . Both those totals were greater than Gore's popu lar-vote margin of victory. Under a popularvote presidential election, Americans might have, in a close race, places such as Baltimore and the District of Columbia - whose people have never met a liberal Democrat they didn't like providing their candidate with the margin of victory.

Sharks, bless their hearts, aren't the smartest of al I creatures and have no idea what the possible outcome of their feeding frenzies may be. Let's leave them alone. We don't have an acrossthe-board, nationallyimposed death penalty for murderers, thieves or other such ignorant/stupid people. Why impose one on animals? For a creature capable of higher intellectual thought, that's a fairly brutish sofution. It's not like there are animals in the world, no matter

how much I would like to think so, who are capable of sentient thought. They simply act and react. That's it. Why on Earth would we condemn to death an animal who put no thought into it's actions? There's no malice there. And I'm not speaking only of the sharks, but of the bears, too. And al I other creatures that get in "our" way and bugger up the works. My Dad once said he read a quote in a book that's stuck with him ever since. It goes something like this: "There are no evil people, only stupid ones." Animals have no capaci-

ty for stupidity. That's a human-only trait. But they also have the great capacity for love and intelligence, which allows for cases like Kai. Humans are bizarre, complex characters. But don't take out your frustrations on the animals . They can't help themselves. That's another humanonly trait.

When calling for understanding, respect, the same is expected in return Dear Editor, Richard Timothy's columns repetitively argue for tolerating differences, but between his lofty cries for respecting others' opinions, he disrespectfully dismisses beliefs that are contrary to his own. He asks for understanding, but fails to understand. Substantial evidence of this can be seen in his articles, but particularly the last one. Concerning homosexuals, Rich said, "people need to realize ... that gay men and women are people too." Rich is trying to say that we shouldn't discriminate against homosexuals or demonize them, but respect them as people with different beliefs. This is true; we should be kind and respectful even if we feel homosexuali-

ty is morally wrong. However, then Rich says "let's not try to go off on al I the petty biblical references about homosexuality." Christians believe sincerely that the Bible is God 's word. When a Christian makes reference to the Bible, it is an expression of belief. For Rich to call this "petty" is disrespectful towards Christian beliefs; it is also grossly hypocritical. He does not try to understand that Christians believe that homosexuality is wrong, but then asks them to understand that homosexuals believe that it is all right. Rich's double standard for liberal opinion is a recurring theme throughout his columns . After calling biblical references petty, Rich makes a biblical reference. For a Christian to make a biblical

reference is petty, but when Rich makes one it is supposed to mean something. Rich would not use a biblical reference unless he realized that to the Christians, whom he is attacking, the Bible and these references are important. Rich calling these references petty when he knows that the Bible is important to Christians is truly petty. If Rich wants understanding he should try to understand. Christians have a right to not "get over" the gay issue. If they feel it is morally wrong they should be allowed to voice those feelings, as long as they are not discriminating. These are the rights that Rich says homosexuals deserve. These are the rights that he should concede to Christians. Jeremy Johnson

VNS retracted its Gore projection at 10: 13 p.m. Some VNS members have theorized that the company underestimated the number of Bush votes coming in through absentee ballots or that the sample precincts were poorly chosen. "The sample as a whole is too Democratic and we need to find out what that means," Gawiser said. Although VNS said in a statement that the sampling precinct models "have served us well through many elections," the company said it will investigate why they didn't work this time. By the time midnight passed and it became evident that Florida would likely decide the next president, exit poll information was replaced by actual results in the data VNS sent by computer to its members. Fox News Channel was the first to declare Bush the victor in Florida at 2: 16 a.m. ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN had all done so by 2:20. The AP,relying on analysis that showed significant votes were still unreported from heavily Democratic counties, never made that call. Neither did VNS. Networks said they used information provided by VNS in making the premature determination that Bush had won. The experts said VNS's computer tabulations wer~ flashing numbers that made a Gore victory seem virtually impossible. Gawiser said they showed Bush with a 55,000 vote lead with only 102,000 votes left to be counted. Both those numbers proved to be wrong. Shortly after the networks called the race, word came in that because of a computer glitch in Volusia County, Bush's lead had been overestimated by nearly 25,000 votes. The projection of the total uncounteq vote also proved to be too low. Frankovic and Mitofsky say they're not sure what happened, ifVNS should be held accountable for passing along bad information or if county officials reported bad numbers used by the service. "I think it's probably a rush to judgment to blame VNS immediately," Frankovic said. VNS said the Bush call was made "solely on the basis of the tabulated vote indicating that Bush appeared to have a sufficient lead to say with confidence that he had won. As the remaining votes were tabulated, that lea<ldropped dramatically and the members felt that evr;n thou gh Bush was still ahead, the responsible thing to do was to withdraw the call." Network representatives have stressed that they made their own independent judgments to declare Florida for Bush, even though five of them made the same call ,vithin five minutes of each other.

burst into flames, nearly forcing the crew to abandon ship. A cargo ship rammed Mir, piercing one of the modules and forcing the crew to seal it off before too much air leaked out. Computers failed twice, and the station went adrift after a cosmonaut inadvertently disconnected a power plug. In 1999, Russia said it lacked the money to keep Mir aloft and planned to ditch it over the winter. But the private, Netherlands-based MirCorp leased time on Mir and promised to pay for its operation. While MirCorp financed a mission to Mir earlier this year, it has failed to meet other commitments, forcing the government to divert funds intended for the international station, Koptev said. "We cannot continue this game ... which I call Russian roulette. We simply don't have the right to do that, because we are a government agency responsible for the safety of Mir," he said. American businessman Dennis Tito, who had hoped to travel to Mir as a "space tourist" under a deal with MirCorp and has already spent $1 million in training, will not be sent to the station, Koptev said. MirCorp representatives did not respond to telephone messages seeking comment. The company, which said the space station had wide commercial potential, had said it aimed to raise about $120 million through a stock offering next year, but Koptev indicated Thursday's decision to bring Mir down . would not be reversed even if new money appeared. Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov told Thursday's Cabinet meeting that safely discarding Mir is an international commitment for Russia.

Bush aide cites need to 'rebalance' ll.S. military

Russian-American ·crew arriving.in a Russian space capsule, has restored some of Russia's pride. For years, NASA has been urging Russia to concentrate its funds on the international project. "Our concern has only been that the Russians have adequate resources to support their commitments to the international space station," NASA spokeswoman Debra Rahn said Thursday at the space agency's Washington headquarters. "We've alway_ssaid the decisions on Mir are the sole purview of the Russian government," she said. When Mir was launched Feb. 20, 1986, it was the epitome of achievement for the Soviet Union, which had already launched the wor ld's first satellite and put both the first man and first woman in orbit. The first df a series of mishaps that were to bedevil Mir took place only a year later: the station's second module, Kvant 1, was unable to link up because of an "alien object" blocking the docking port. The object, later reported to be a plastic bag, was removed during an unscheduled spacewalk by the crew. In 1991, an unmanned cargo ship lost control during its approach to Mir and nearly smashed into it. Over the next few years, the station ran smoothly even if the Soviet Union didn't. Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev got the unusual distinction of being a Soviet citizen when he blasted off in 1991 and a Russian citizen when he returned in 1992. Cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov set a space endurance record by staying aboard'ror 438 days in 199495. But 1-997 changed Mir's image to a space jalopy. An oxygen-generating canister

ROBERT BURNS

AssociatedPress

WASHINGTON - To advance America's global interests, the next president will have to "rebalance our commitments" of military power, a senior aide to Texas Gov. George W. Bush said Thursday. Condoleezza Rice, Bush's chief adviser on national security matters, told an Armysponsored conference that a Bush administration would ensure that the U.S. armed forces are ready to defend U.S. vital interests while being careful not to involve the military in crises that other nations can manage. While saying the Clinton administration was right to have intervened militarily in Kosovo last year, Rice said that avoiding overuse of the military will "require that we are more focused in what we do." "It will require that we rebalance our commitments and our resources, and it will require that we recognize that our diplomatic instruments are many, that military power is only one of them and that we are certain that we do not always think of military e past, Rice has said the Army is being used improperly in Kosovo and Bosnia to rebuild civilian institutions. In Thursday's remarks she spoke more broadly about managing

such peacekeeping missions. "The United States need not think that it is the only means of dampening down local conflicts, large-scale violence coming of man's inhumanity to man," she said. "It is not a matter of ignoring it, it is a matter of arranging coalitions, finding others some times to bear the burden, with American support and help." Vice President AJ Gore has vigorously defended the Clinton administration's approach, arguing that U.S. military involvement in the Balkans is necessary to prevent a return to violer,ce and to build a lasting peace. Speaking before Rice at the same conference, Army Gen. Henry H. Shelton, chairman of the Joint Ch iefs of Staff, said it would be "naive" to believe the military will stop taking part in peacekeeping and other non-combat miss10ns. Commenting on the national security challenges likely to face the United States over the coming 10 years, Shelton said the world's lone superpower must continue to prepare its military for a wide range of missions, from training abroad and joining in peacekeeping duties to fighting major wars. "It is naive to think that the military will become involved in only those areas that affet:t our vital national interests," Shelton said.
