Al Gore sought a speedy hand recount of Florida's contested ballots Tuesday to ensure "no question, no cloud" hangs over the nation's 43rd president. A judge rejected his timetable, Democratic lawyers vowed to appeal and Republicans demanded, "It's time to wrap this up." As the campaign played out in five separate courtrooms, the vice president sought to accelerate the proceedings to avoid further testing of the public's patience three weeks after Election Day: "Seven days, starting tomorrow, for a full and accurare count of all the votes," the vice president said shortly before his lawyers asked Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls to order the recount of 13,000 questionable ballots in two Democratic counties. The judge instead scheduled

Bush's lawyers objected to Gore's timetable, saying they needed time to p_reparetheir case agamst him. Sauls is working against a Dec. 12 deadline for states to assign presidential electors. 'We could count until everybody is slap-happy, but if no one is on the same page, I don't know what's being accomplished," Sauls said, explaining why he wanted one broad-ranging hearing before considering Gore's recount request. The political morass stretched to the U.S. Supreme Court, with Bush's lawyers asking the nine justices to bring "legal finality" to the election by overturning Florida's top ►SEE PRESIDENT

Looking out for student interests, the Associated Students of Utah State University Executive Council voted to recommend changes in tuition payment and obtaining computer printouts. Comparative institutions offer alternatives to the lump-sum method of paying tuition at the beginning of the semester. Colorado State University allows three equal installments during the semester. Other universities, like the University of California Davis, require an administrative fee to cover costs of collection and additional duties that come with multiple payments. State schools in Utah also provide payment plans. Weber State University accepts 10 payments for the year with a $60 application fee. Utah State currently has a deferment plan, which is 65 percent up front and 35 percent later in the semester, with a $22 service charge. "It'sjust student-friendly and that's what we're here for," said Sandra Keil, Natural Resources senator. Keil said having a pay-

ment plan would help students avoid taking out loans. Danielle Gardner, Family Life senator, said requiring such a large sum of money at one time deters students from attending at all. "That is one of the reasons they go to Salt Lake Community College," Gardner said. Eric Worthen, Graduate Studies vice president, said the transition from quarters to semesters also kept many students from returning because the amount due at one time was increased. Bradley Bishop, Student Advocate, said an analogy can be made with housing in the area. Apartment complexes offering monthly payment plans fill up much faster than those requiring the full amount up front. He said landlords have to actively recruit tenants. This recommendation will be taken to Stater's Council on December 6. Stater's Council is a meetmg with members of ASUSU and administrators. Also to be taken to the council is a recommenda► SEE ASUSU

wrestled with over the past year. ATV has decided to show a few unedited Rrated movies per month, and some students are upset. Last year, ATV heard arguments from students who felt there were too many family movies on the channel and students who felt that there wasn't enough family programming. In an effort to appease both sides, ATV split its single movie channel into two Channel 23, known as Aggie Cinema, and Channel 24, known as Family Cinema. "Dividing into two channels mostly eliminated the complaints," said Andy Hofmeister, assistant director of Housing Services. "Last year, it sometimes seemed like one camp wanted all family movies and the other side wanted no family movies." Some students want ATV to return

to its policy of editing R-rated movies. Mike Grubbs, a junior public relations major, said he won't watch unedited R-rated movies. "It's cool that they added a family channel, but in a sort of selfish way I'd like to see them still edit," he said. "Because of my LDS beliefs I don't watch those (R-rated) movies anymore. I don't have a huge problem with it coming into my home. If I don't want to see it, I don't turn it on. I'd just like to watch movies like "Rules of Engagement" or "The Patriot." I think ATV should find out what the majority of students want. If the majority want it the way it is now, I'm fine with that." Hofmeister said the current ATV contract allows them to show 18 movies per month, 14 of which are selected by a student committee, and four of which are selected by the Residence Life staff. However, he added that the edited and unedited version of a movie each count as one selection, so showing

both versions would reduce the overall number of movies ATV could offer each month. Hofmeister also noted students can have any channel blocked. "I don't know why someone would want to block the Home and Garden channel, for example, but if plants offended them, we could block it," Hofmeister said. Some students seemed happy with ATV's service. Fermin Recarte, who is working on his master's degree in second language education, believes ATV is doing its best to please the student populace . Recarte lives on campus with his wife, Denice, and their two daughters, and they have watched ATV for years. "I think they're doing a good job.

It's hard to make everybody happy. The only complaint I have is that if you have a problem on the weekend, there's nobody to call," he said. "Last year I missed an NBA finals game because the channel blacked out on Friday afternoon and no one was there [at ATV] until Monday morning." Darren Putnam, a jumor liberal arts major, has been living on campus with his wife, Holly, and their three children until very recently. Putnam liked the idea of having a separate channel for family movies, but he said ATV needs to be more careful about what it shows. "I got a topless shot of a woman today on [Family Cinema] right in the middle of the day. I think the movie was "Airplane . " If they say it's going to be for family, they need to be sure it really is," Putnam said.

AssociatedPress PORT-AU-PRI:'.'JCE, Haiti (AP) Jean-Bertrand Aristide moved to dispel fears he will rule Haiti as a dictator after an election that he seems certain to have won. Breaking a six-year silence on political issues a day after the presidential vote, Aristide said the opposition would he welcome in his government and denied charges h~ would squelch Haiti's nascent democracy. "There will be a place for everyone in my government," Aristide said Monday at his first news conference since 1994. "To have a peaceful Haiti, the opposition is indispensable .... It is part of our democratic fate." Opposition groups that boycotted the election have accused Aristide of plotting a dictatorship or planning to make himself president for life, echoing the Duvalier family that ruled by terror from 1957 to 1986. "It's not on my agenda," Aristide said. The fiery former priest, who became Haiti's first freely elected president in 1990, did not declare victory in Sunday's vote, out he spoke as if he were president. Preliminary results were expected Tuesday. Aristide said the election was a victory for democracy and that a "huge majority" voted.

Signaling a cool response to the promise of inclusion, Denis said an opposition coalition would create "a peaceful alternative" to Aristide and his Lavalas Family party.

Public thinks Bush won Florida, but split on Gore concession WILL LESTER

. WASHINGTON - Americans by · more than a 2-1 margin think George W. Bush has won the presidency, says a poll released Tuesday, but they are even. · ly divided on the question of whether Al Gore should concede the presidency. The NBC Poll showed the public was split - 49 percent apiece - on whether or not Gore should concede or await the tesults from cases filed in the courts. A third of those polled Monday night by NBC News said they saw the vice president's plea for patience on national television. Two polls taken after the certifi<;ation but prior to Gore's speech - taken by CNN-USA Today-Gallup and ABC News-\Vashington Post - showed that almost six in 10 thought it was time for Gore to concede. Asked whether Bush was right to c.:laimvictory and set up a transition

operation, just over half in the NBC News poll, 51 percent, said he should have waited. i\Iore than four of 10 th0t 1 ght he was right to claim victory. People were about evenly split in the NBC poll on whether the Florida secretary of state's decision to certify Bush the winner was "based on a fair, unbiased process" or not. By about a 2-1 margin, those in the poll said they were comfortable with each of the candidates and were prepare<l to support them. "It looked to me like Gore got a raw deal," said Noel Mc.:Coy, 56, u( Newton, ivTass. "I think he should fight, and I admire him for fighting." Gore pleaded for patience Monday night as polls suggested his support could slip away. "Our country will be stronger, not weaker, if our next president assumes office following a process that most Americans believe is fair," said Gore, who has challenged the Florida certified

results in court. "I think Gore should give up and say good luc.:kto Bush," said 21-year-old Peter Greene of Concord, NJ -I., who voted for Gore. Such public opinion measured just after a big event like the Florida certification of Bush as winner or the Gore spee<.:hmay be more a snapshot of the emotional reaction to an event. It could take several days to get a more settled picture of public opinion. The NBC '\Jews poll of 490 adults was taken Monday night and has an error margin of 4.5 percentage points. The ABC-Post poll of 607 adults was taken Sunday night. The CNN-USA Today-Gallup poll was taken Sunday and Monday nights. Both have error margins of 4 percentage points. The polls did not reflect a shift in feeling about who should be president, with people about as evenly split as they were on the remarkably close Election Day.

PAGE, Ariz. (AP) - Four members of an Orem, Utah, family have been killed in a head-on collision in Arizona. Wayne Fairbanks, 50, his wife Elaine, 47, and two of their sons - Daniel, 18, and Joseph, 16 - were killed in the accident Sunday night on U.S. 89 about 15 miles south of Page. Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman Officer Mark , Hall said a pickup driven by Ace Charles of Cameron, Ariz., crossed the centerline and struck the Fairbanks' car head-on. Charles, 18, and one of his passengers, Devaniel Charles, 31, were listed in fair condition Monday at the hospital in Page. Leeta Baraga, 24, also was taken to the hospital but was not listed as having been admitted. The Fairbanks family was returning home from a holiday trip. "They were givers, always giving to others, so they didn't accumulate much," Richard Fairbanks said Monday as he was trying to make funeral arrangements for his brother. Elaine Fairbanks "had a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon," said Diane VanDyke, a co-worker. Wayne and Elaine Fairbanks had worked at The Utah County Journal, he as an editor and she as a receptionist, until they recently quit, "She had just stopped in to visit all of us Wednesday before going to spend Thanksgiving with their daughter, Bonnie, in Texas," VanDyke said.

Specialreportlooks into suicide of county'stop prosecutor TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A special report into the suicide of the county's top prosecutor reveals a man with deep financial troubles and a gambling addiction that threatened to ruin his political career . Hillsborough County State Attorney Harry Lee Coe was $150,000 in debt and had bounced $47,000 in checks at area dog tracks, according to the results of a four-month investigation released Monday. ½'hen reporters began probing Coe's gambling addiction before his death, he illegally erased public records on his office computer to cover up hundreds of visits to online gambling sites. Coe, 68, also "borrowed" campaign finances to cover his debts and didn't disclose the loans as is required by state law, said the report by Pinellas County State Attorney Bernie McCabe, who was appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush to investigate Coe's suicide. Investigators found no evidence of foul play in his death. Coe, who was running for a third term, shot himself in the chest in July, amid a governor-ordered investigation of his personattinances 'ancl his handling of public records. Coe's eldest son, Harry Lee Coe Iv, said he wasn't surprised by the investigation's findings. He said his father never discussed the debts and called his father's gambling problems an addiction. "He would just sit there and think. It was a place to get his head clear," the younger Coe said. "But that's a dangerous place to do that. Costly and destructive."

Arlingto~mayjoin 2012 Olympics ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Supporters of North Texas' bid for 2012 Olympics may not have to wait until then to see the Olympic torch in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. 1 Residents want to spend an estimated $25,000 to $55,000 to bring the 2002 Olympic Winter Sames Torch Relay to the mid-cities. The expenditures would be required for Arlington workers and services in connection with the torch's proposed route in December 2001 on its way to Salt Lake City, where the Winter Games will be held. Officials with the Dallas 2012 Olympic Bid Commi~tee, said the event could help elevate the region's campaign to win the Summer Games. "Arlington is the birthplace of the 2012 Olympic effort," Richard Greene, bid committee president, told the Arlington Morning News in Tuesday's editions. "It's an important event in itself, but it is also important because we're looking at possibly hosting the Games. It could give the area more attention." Greene, a former Arlington mayor, said the Dallas 2012 group is not involved with the torch run. Cities contacted to participate were selected solely by the 2002 Winter Olympic group. Members of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee will announce the torch route in December. "We're not going to release any information until Dec. 4," said Kirsten Bailey, a SLOC spokeswoman.

Formercouncilmansays law conflicts with amendment SALT LAKE CITI (AP) - A federal judge has taken under advisement arguments over whether the federal law that prohibits the possession of firearms by those under domestic-violence protection orders conflicts with the Second Amendment. Former Blanding City Council member Randee Lee Bayles, 49, was prohibited from harassing his ex-wife under a protection order issued last year by a state judge. According to court documents, Bayles spoke to an undercover federal agent in August, claiming he owned about 100 rifles and between_75 and 85 handguns. He allegedly told the agent that he had to hide some of them because of an "order that his ex-wife had obtained from the courts." Federal agents searched Bayles' house and seized an armful of weapons. Bayles' attorney, Brad Rich, argued that his client is entitled to have guns. "He has a right under the Second Amendment to bear arms," Rich told U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball at a Monday hearing. Kimball asked Rich if the constitutionality of the federal law that provided the legal basis for Bayles' arrest should be a question for his court or the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. "I acknowledge it is an argument that is going to be an issue they are going to have to deal with," Rich said. Federal prosecutor Brett Tolman said the judge could make a determination without wai?ng for the appeals court.

Students who have a general interest in bicycling can join the cycling club formed this year under the Council for Student Clubs and Organizations, but if they want to race, they'll have to wait until USU has a cycling club approved for recognition as a campus recreation club. Tommy Murphy, cycling club president, said, "We are a CSCO, and we will become a campus recreation club." Murphy said it's important to be approved as a campus recreation club so students can compete in National Collegiate Cycling Association competitions. Deanne Williams, director bf campus recreation, explained that the difference between the two has to do with funding and liability.

Journal subscriptions average $340 and electronic databases cost from $50 to thousands of dollars, she said. During the past three years, parents and family members of students have contributed more than $130,000 to help purchase these resources at USU. These contributions help provide the best library servicerossible to the students o USU, Shelton said.

Lazar said the most important reason for this campaign is to counteract the enormous effect consumerism has in lives. . 'We have an over-reliance on material things," Lazar said. Relationships are affected as well as the way we view ourselves and others, Lazar said. Lazar said in our society, shopping is seen as a duty. He said the things that matter most, which are love, relationships, care for ourselves and our planet, take the back burner. Lazar said he would like to see more organization to increase the size of the campaign, but he said he feels it has been successful in Salt Lake City.

Jim Stephenson, Academics vice president, said conflicting hours of operation between the labs and the Card Office, the only place money can be put on a card, is a problem. Stephenson said situations arise where printouts are needed and it's not during the Card Office's business hours, which are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Another consideration, Stephenson said, are students who take only evening classes and aren't on campus during those hours at all. Stephenson said he has been

working on this issue for the past three years. "It's been hashed and hashed and hashed every year," Stephenson said. The recommendation would be to put cash boxes in the computer labs as another form of payment. Stephenson said other options have been looked at, like putting printouts on credit and paying for them later, but have not been successful. He said having small amounts of cash in the labs would solve a major problem and present little difficulty "It's really just ludicrous," he said. 'We're talking about pocket change." Stephenson said he hopes the recommendation will serve as a vehicle for getting the unified student voice across.

Park City

Skiing, t\\e Sundance Film F. REUBEN WADSWORTH

Assistant Sports Editor Though one of its three ski resorts is ranked in the top five in North America, there is more to Park City than skiing during the winter. Park City is the premier place in Utah for nightlife, said Rick Paul, manager of the Cvber Cafe on Main Street. Paul said the dty boasts night spots for any music lover, feamring clubs that play disco, techno, rock or bluegrass. One such place to dance is Club Creation, an all-ages amusement center with pool tables and video games that turns into an 18-and-older, non-alcohol dance club after 9 p.m. Park City is also home to many art galleries. "If you're an art lover, Park City is the place to be," he said. The city showcases 12 galleries, located on Main Street, which display a variety of art from Western to International, he said. On the first Friday of each month, participating visual art galleries downtown provide refreshments for art aficionados. Park City al-so offers performing arts. The local production company, the Egyptian Theater Company, stages musicals, comedies and dramas at the Mary G. Steiner Egyptian Theater on Main Street. From Jan. 18 through 28, 2001 the city will host the Sundance Film Festival. That is the busiest time of the year for the community with the combination of skiers and filmgoers in town, he said. \Vhile the nightlife, art gall~ries and film festival bring visitors to Park City, nothing attracts them more than the three ski resorts The Canyons, Park City Mount.iin Resort and Deer Valley. "The Canyons is the most up and coming resort in Utah," Paul said. According to Paul, the

Canyons will be the largest ski resort in North America by 2004. Ski Magazine is calling The Canyons the next Veil, the resort in Colorado ranked just ahead of Deer Valley at the number one spot. The Canyons has 15 lifts, including a gondola and five high-speed quads. The resort has a vertical drop of l.19..Q feet and)tsjiig_hest point is Ninety N'ilre.._90 at 9,990 feet.

"\\'e have a direct connection to the city," said Park City Mountain Resort Communications Manager Melis~a O'Brien. O'Brien said skiers can ski right into town and then get back' to the resort via the Town Lift. Eighty percent of the resort's p_atrons are destina-

tion skiers who come from out of state, O'Brien said. When most Americans think of Park City, they think of Park City Mountain Resort, O'Brien said. The resort has expanded for snowboarding, O'Brien said. Within its confines are two half pipes, two terrain parks and a public MountainCross course that offers side-by-side racing with a mix of bumps, berms and baked turns. An adult all-day lift pass at the resort is $44 for weekdays and $48 for weekends. The resort's highest point is the Jupiter Bowl at 10,026 feet and its total vertical drop is 3,100 feet. The resort features 14 lifts, including four high-speed six packs. Deer Valley will also be home to six events during the Olympics.

Also this weekend, the resort will host the Merrill Lynch Pro-Am Dec. 2 and Celebritv Ski Classic races Dec. 3 on the Birdseve ski run. · "This will be a phenome nal year," Reardon said. The resort's highest point

is Empire Canyon at 9,570 feet with a vertical drop of approximately 3,000 feet. Deer Valley features 19 lifts, including five high-speed quads. An adult all-day lift pass is regularly $63. "\Vhen you come here, you feel like you're on vacation," Paul said. "Park City provides the serenity of the mountains." In addition to skiing, other winter sports offered in the Park City vicinity include

cross country skiing, Bobsled and Ice Rocket rides, tubing and· ice skating. Many college students are attracted to Park City, so those who do go will be among peers, he said. Students coming in groups will find accommodations in Park City can be affordable, especially at hotels such as the Grand Summit at The Canyons, The Park City Marriott and the Silver King Hotel, he said.

Outdoor Recreation Center opens Yurtfor student use HEATHER STRASBURG

Staff Writer

THE YURT IS LOCATED 4 miles up the Blind Hollow Trail is avail-

able for overnight use by Utah State University students, faculty and staff members./ORC file photo

Located 4 miles up Blind Hollow trail is a little-known hideaway created for Utah State Universirv students and staff members only. It's a yurt. Traditional yurts in Mongolia use the hides of animals to cover their lattice walls. The USU yurt, run by the Outdoor Recreation Center, is made with canvas and vinyl-coated nylon. It's a circular-looking strucrnre with a skylight and rafters that slope at about 30 degrees. The yurt was built by ~orm Gultra, a former USU student, in the summer of 1995. "The yurt was built for a variety of reasons," said Kevin Kobe, director of the ORC. "One of them was how cost- prohibitive it was for "C"SUstudents to visit yurts in other areas. Students would he charged twice what we charge. This gives USU students the opporninity for a yurt experience." Yurcs provide many enjoyable experiences, Kobe said. "You can see constellat10ns without the city lights, animal tracks in the snow and if you're lucky you'll be there to watch a storm roll through," Kobe said. Before planning a trip to the yurt, students should be aware of the risks and precautions they should take . "Students who are just renting should have a good un<lerstan<ling of back country skiing or snow-shoeing. It's a pretty long route with high rises in elevation," said Kobe. "It takes about 3 to 5 hours so you should be in fairly decent shape. \Ve call this course intermediate to

advanced." "\Ve also <lo official organized trips with the ORC that can help prepare people a little more," Kobe said. Kobe said stu<lents who want to take the Yurt trip in January shoul<l start training now. "It's important to keep students engaged in healthy lifestyles, an<l it's also a great way to meet people with similar interests, intimately," he said. "With eight people

jammed into a circular structure, you have to." The yurt can be reserved beginning today at 10 a.m. More information about prices and rules is available at the ORC Web site, www.usu.edu/ ore The ORC will host a slide show about the yurt Dec. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Visual building, Room 150. The slide show will be presented by two USU students who hiked the Pacific Crest

Trail, which stretches from Mexico to Canada. The ORC will also offer a raffle for a two-night stay at the yurt for the price of one on New Years weekend. Tickets for the raffle cost $1 and can be purchased at the ORC or their table outside the TSC. The Yurt is "an absolute wonder of winter in the back country," Kobe said. The preseason rate for the yurt is $60 a night, applicable through Christmas Day.

Area in and aroundCacheValleyoffersa varieryof winteractivities NATALIE LARSON

Senior Writer

The chill wind and dancing snowflakes of winter have found their way to Utah State University, driving outdoor adventurers inside to drink hot chocolate. Winter doesn't have to be the beginning of a hibernation period for those who crave the fresh air and sunlight of warmer seasons. Cache Valley hosts a wide

variety of winter activities, from hot tubbing to snow shoeing. A traditional sport for all age groups is sledding. According to Ellen Newell, landscape operations and maintenance manager at USU, Old Main Hill has been Logan's traditional sledding hill "ever since the hill was there." Landscape Operations and Maintenance puts straw bales at the bottom of the hill to

keep people from sliding into the road and getting hit by cars, Newell said. "\Ve're not comfortable with it, but it's tradition," Newell said. "The hill is OK if people use common sense. We would just prefer the hill was closed to sledding because there are so many injuries." Another activity common in winter is downhill skiing. The closest resort to USU students is Beaver iVlountain,

located 27 miles up Logan Canyon. The cost is $24 for all-day skiing and $19 for a half-day. Beaver also has a slt::dding hill and rope tow that costs $6 for two hours. They provide the sleds. Th<:y are not open yet, but Marge Seeholzer, the owner, said, "\Ve're off to a good start. \Ve'II open just as soon as we have enough snow." Seeholzer said the past

few winters have been pretty mild, and the resort hasn't opened until right before Christmas. "They're calling for more big storms. It's hard to say," Seeholzer said. They have extended the deadline for their new weekday season pass, which costs $300 now. It was previously $250, but because of the popularity, they decided to up the price and extend the purchasing deadline until

right before they open, Seeholzer said. This pass is good Monday through Friday with blackout days on Christmas week, President's Day and Civil Rights Day. Other winter attraction are two natural hot springs open all winter: the Riverdale Resort and Crystal Hot Springs. ► SEE ACTIVITIES

Wearing layers, covering extremities key to keeping warm during wintertime HOLLY HANSON

Staff Writer

Hats on heads, scarves wrapped tightly around necks, mittens and gloves covering the hands, layers of clothing piled on just to stay warm - that is the typical scene in Logan during the winter. Dressing for the weather is important to avoid hypothermia, said Cynthia Allen, health educator for the Utah State University Health Clinic. It's also important to dress to prevent frost bite, she said, especially for outdoor activities. Allen said it's important to keep the extremities (nose, fingers and toes) warm because blood flow, which keeps the body warm, is restricted mainly to the vital organs when body temperature drops. LaDawn Porter, the department lead of clothing at Gart Brothers Sports, suggests people wear clothing made from material that removes moisture from the inside to the outside of the clothing to allow it to dry faster. Allen said it is important to keep the head and neck warm. The neck maintains heat at the core of the body, and the head is where most heat is lost. "If you will be going outdoors in the winter, watch for signs of hypothermia. That is when more heat is lost than your body can produce and your body temperature is

below 94 degrees," Allen said. Signs of hypothermia include shivering, slurred speech, abnormally slow rate of breathing, skin that is cold and pale, loss of coordination and feelings of tiredness, lethargy and apathy, Allen said. Porter suggested wearing socks with a liner or specialized synthetic material - not cotton - around campus. "Wear well-insulated shoes," Porter said. Students participating in outdoor activities should dress in layers and wear a water- and wind-proof jacket or coat, she said. "Wear a coat with a fleece lining, that way it will be next to your skin," Porter said. Allen said to cover all of the body's extremities . Mittens will keep fingers warmer than gloves because they keep the fingers together. "Move your hands and feet to keep them warm; it will force the blood to come back," Allen said . "There comes a time when it's more important to be warm than to look nice," Allen said, "November through April."

Snowmobiles banned in Grand Teton, Yellowstone JULIE CART

Los Angeles Times

Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks made official Wednesday what some outdoor enthusiasts have long dreaded: snowmobiles will be phased out and eventually banned in the parks in three years. The decision comes at the start of Yellowstone's winter season, when snowmobiles and snow coaches are the only motorized means to enter the park in northwest Wyoming. About three-quarters of Yellowstone's winter visitors navigate the park's unplowed roads astride snowmobiles. The ruling was expected, but nevertheless inflamed the debate over vehicle access and recreational use in national parks. Snowmobile advocates say the ban is another step toward restricting public use of public lands. "It's a slippery slope," said Ed Klim, president of the International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association . "If you took out the word 'snowmobile' and put in 'automobile,' you would see that they are preparing to remove automobiles in national parks." Officials said there will be no change in snowmobile use this season in the two parks and the adjacent John D . Rockefeller Memorial Parkway. The vehicles will be phased out starting next year and banned by 2003 -2004. "Our obligation in managing winter use in these parks is to ensure that public activities we allow conserve park resources and values for future generations," said Karen Wade, lntermountain Regional Director for the National Park Service . "Unforrunately, snowmobiles have been shown to harm wildlife, air quality and the natural quiet of these parks." The new policy re garding snowmobiles, introduced in Yellowstone in 1963, was precipitated by a 1997 lawsuit by th e Fund For ►SEE YELLOWSTONE

Winter brings two new sports to outdoor enthusiasts, telemark skiing and splitboarding. Telemark skiing is actually a sport that has been around since before Christ, said Trailhead sales representative Brian Frankie. It was first introduced by the Norwegians as a source of transportation through snow. Telemark skis are two skis with metal tips, which set them apart from alpine skiing. They also have hairs, made of either nylon or mohair, attached to the bottom. This allows skiers to ascend hills without sliding backward, which can't be done on cross-country skis. Tclemark skis are a combination of both, allowing for both cross country and alpine skiing. After getting to the top of the mountain, skiers must take the hairs off to ski down. Skiing down is a whole differentjrocess in general compare to alpine skiing. Skiers must bend their knees more with turns than they would have to with alpine. Skiers also don't get much air, in fact no air, when jumping, said telemark skier Chadd Briggs. "Telemark skiing is one of the oldest forms of skiing to get places," said telemark skier Jake Flaherty. "It is a lot more versatile than crosscountry skiing because you can go to more places." Another new form of winter recreation is splitboarding, a combination of skiing and snowboarding. It involves a snowboard cut in half. Though this sport hasn't

caught on too much because of the lack of splitboard manufacturers, it involves two snow activities,~ telemark skier Jess Hancock. Splitboar<lers telemark ski up a hill. At the top, they remove the hairs and attach the skis together to form a snowboard. After putting on the bindings, skiers board back down the hill. Custom-made splitboard kits are available. The first step is to cut a snowboard in half, preferably a long board, since skiers will be touring the backcountry with it. The longer the boa;d, the more access you have to powder and the better the rider will be able to do, Hancock said.

"You have the best of both worl<ls with splitboarding," Hancock said. Though tdemark skiing has been around for centuries, it has only gained popularity in the last five years . The same goes for splitboarding, which only just got backed by a strong manufacturing company called Burton, Frankie said. There are disadvantages to both sports because they both involve telemark skiing, which involves "the hardest discipline," Frankie said. Skiing uphill on telemark skis is difficult , he said, and you have to want to learn it. Once you get to the top, it gets quite bothersome to take

your hairs off in cold weather conditions. If you have a split board, you will be up even longer putting your board together, he said. "\\'hen working with a splitboard you have the complexity of bindings to deal with, the expectations of a good performance and your performance not being as well," Frankie said. Splitboards and telemark skis are available for purchase or rent at the Trailhead in Logan. People have to @rder their splitboards custom-made to fit, however, Frankie said. "Both ways are great means to get around the backcounry unmotorized," Frankie said.

There is a lap pool and four hot pools open all winter that are 95 to 105 degrees. There is also a water slide, open Friday nights and Saturdays. It costs S5 plus tax for the pools and $9 for the slide and pools. College students get a $1 discount with the.ir USU ID card, and there is a $1 discount on Monday nights. Hamilton sai<l, "The unique thing about our pool is definitely the minerals. Doctors tell their patients who are rehabilitating to

come here and soak." The minerals inciude lithium, sodium and chloride, which "help relax your muscles and your mood," Hamilton said. Cross-country ski and snow-shoeing trails lace throughout Logan Canyon. Contact the tourist council or Logan Ranger District for a complete guide to crosscountry trails, (435) 7553620. Other areas include the Sinb, Franklin Basin, Beaver Creek, Bear Lake, Monte Cristo and Hardware Ranch.

million snowmobiles in the United States, according to industry figures. According to one estimate, there are 130,000 miles of designated snowmobile trails nationwide - and about 500 are in national parks. The plan for Yellowstone an<l Grand Teton does not outlaw snow coaches, which meet air quality stan<lards set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They are 12- to 14--passenger vehicles that resemble minivans perched atop tank-like treads. The commercially

operated vehicles cost up to $75,000 and, according to some surveys, are not as popular with visitors as snowmobiles. "My mother is 67 years old, she enjoys the park in winter and she can ride a snowmobile but she's not going to cross-country ski in," said Vicki Eggers, former director of the West Yellowstone Chamber of Commerce and a snowmobile advocate. "My mom can't get up into a snow coach. What's she supposed to do?"

Animals. The group requested a study of the impact that trails made by snowmobiles have had on wildlife migration, particularly bison. Wildlife advocates say bison follow these trails and wander out of the park, where they may be shot. "This is huge," said Sean Smith, a former Yellowstone ranger who is public lands director for the San Francisco-based Bluewater Network. "We are extremely pleased with the Park Service decision to enforce the law to protect park resources."

U.N. warns of AIDS complacency, says epidemic explodes in Russia GEIR MOULSON

Associated Press

GENEVA- The world's richest countries are growing alarmingly complacent about the global AIDS epidemic as infections reach new levels, the United Nations said in a report Tuesday that noted the number of cases in Russia alone will more than double this year. "It's very striking that in the wealthy countries there is a perception that AIDS is over - there is far less investment in education programs," said Peter Piot, executive director of UN AIDS. "The availability of treatment has resulted in a complacency which is becoming really dangerous," Piot told The Associated Press. "Considering that today we've got as many new infections in Western Europe ~nd North Am~rica as 10years ago, there 1sno excuse for that." The annual AIDS Epidemic Update released Tuesday predicted 45,000 new cases this year in North America and 30,000 in Western Europe. Nearly 1.5 million people in the industrialized countries will be living with the AIDS virus by the end of the year. The report said the number of new HN infections in Africa dropped this year for the first time, to 3.8 million from 4 million in the previous year. But UNAIDS was quick to damp any optimism, noting that the number of people infected worldwide is expected to rise to 36.1 million, with 5.3 million new infections. Three million people, up from 2.6 million a year ago, are expected to die of AIDS. Those who use drugs through needles are thought to make up the bulk of new infections, and are most hurt by failing prevention efforts, the report said.

Netherlandsapprovebill allowingeuthanasiaMOVIE ANTHONY DEUTSCH

AssociatedPress

THE HAGUE, Netherlands - The Dutch parliament approved a bill Tuesday to allow euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide, which would make it the first country to formally legalize the practice. The bill passed by a vote of 104-4{).It still nee<lsthe approval of the Senate, which is considered a formalitv, and is expected to enter into force next year. Advocates say the law puts the Dutch in the vanguard of patient rights, while opponents say it will replace caring with killing. "Doctors should not be treated as criminals. This will create security for doctors and patients alike," said Health · Minister Els Borst, who drafted the bill. "Something as serious as

ending one's life deserves openness," she told The Associated Press after the vote. The bill adopts guidelines that parliament approved in 1993, establishing the Netherlands' semiofficial tolerance of euthanasia. Under that policy it was understood that doctors who followed the guidelines would not be prosecuted, though euthanasia remained a crime punishable by up to 12 years in prison. Under the guidelines, a patient must be undergoing irremediable and unbearable suffering, be aware of all ocher medical options and have sought a second professional opinion. The request must be ma<levoluntarily, persistently and independently while the patient is of sound mind. Doctors are not supposed to suggest it as an option. The new law also allows patients to leave a written

request for euthanasia, giving doctors the right to use their own discretion when patients become too physically or mentally ill to decide for themselves. No other country has attempted to legalize euthanasia, health officials and legal experts said, though it is tolerated in Switzerland, Colombia and Belgium. Australia's Northern Territory approved euthanasia in September 1996, but the federal Parliament revoked the law in March 1997. In Oregon, voters approved doctor-assisted suicide for the terminally ill in 1994. Since the law took effect in 1997, 4 3 people have died in Oregon in assisted suicides. The House of Representatives passed a bill in October that would restrict the practice, but President Clinton has threatened to veto the bill. Euthanasia remains illegal in the United States. In doctorassisted suicides, the patient

Yugoslavians will not intervene wit~ military unless provoked ALEKSANDER VASOVIC

AssociatedPress

BUJANOVAC, Yugoslavia - A top Yugoslav army commander claimed Tuesday that Kosovo Albanian militants launched more incursions into Serbia, but sai<l the military would not intervene unless provoked. Yugoslavia's new president Vojislav Kostunica has demanded that NATO live up to its commitment to stop ethnic Albanian attacks in southern Serbia that have killed at least five people. "There are conditions for this (crisis) to be solved by peaceful means," said Gen . Nebojsa Pavkovic, a Yugoslav army commander who visited his troops on the edge of a contested buffer zone between Kosovo and the rest of Serbia. Pavkovic alleged that an additional 200 "terrorists" infiltrated into the buffer zone - where Serb police are allowed to patrol with only light arms - from Kosovo in the last few days. "\Ve won't allow any provocations against the army, and the army has the right to respond to any attack or provocation against it," Pavkovic sai<l. NATO-led peacekeepers moved into Kosovo after the alliance bombed Yugoslavia to force former President Slobodan Milosevic to stop a

crackdown on ethnic Albanians. The peace deal that ended the war created the three-mile-wide buffer zone between the Kosovo boun<lary and Serbia proper. The area on the Serb side of the frontier has a large ethnic Albanian population and militants demanding to join Kosovo - who Belgrade says work out of the province - have been attacking Serb forces. Last week, violence escalated as ethnic Albanians militants laun ched attacks into the buffer zone, capturing several strategic points in Serbia proper. The alliance said it had helped negotiations between the militants and the Serb police. Flight Lt. Mark A. Whitty, a spokesman for NATO-le<l/eacekeepers in Kosovo sai Tuesday that "both parties have agreed to an indefinite cease-fire." "We facilitated the discus sion between the two groups," he said. A key official in Yugoslavia's new leadership, however, <lenied that the government negotiated a cease-fire with either NATO or the militants . "There have been no such talks," said Nebojsa Covic, a deputy prime minister in Serbia's government. "Such informa tion is not true." The reason for the dis crepancy was not clear.

Meanwhile, NATO took measures to prevent ethnic Albanians from crossing into the buffer zone, searching every person an<l car traveling in the area. The incidents on Kosovo's border cast doubt on :NATO's ability to control Kosovo and also present a major crisis to Kostunica. He must defend the area without provoking the same international condemnation that accompanied Milosevic's crackdown. "It is not going to come to a war because we are fighting for peace," Kostunica said Monday as he toured the contested region. "We respect all international documents on Kosovo." But he said it was imperative that NATO block all ethnic Albanian extremists from penetrating the buffer zone. Andthe government continued bringing in reinforcements, including special anti-terrorist units, in case diplomacy fails. More than 2,500 people, mostly ethnic Albanians, have trickled out of the trou bled region since the crisis started. Early Monday, a tractor carrying an Albanian family trying to flee the zone toward Kosovo hit an antitank mine. One 10-year -old boy was killed, while his 3year -old sister and 5-year -ol<l brother were seriously

Rita i\1arker, executive director of the International AntiEuthanasia Task Force, said the law will send a dangerous signal "telling people that if its legal, it's right." "It will be like giving the household seal of approval. \Vhat is currently a crime will be transformed into medical treatment," Marker told The Associate<lPress.

Before I begin explaining my plan for world domination, I want to let you know that I am going to fake my death.

I will employ hundreds of the world's best scientists and engineers to begin research and development on a series of common household items, namely: toasters, TVs, stereos, sinks, tables, chairs, llama saddles, carpet, etc. These items will be the highest degree of quality available on the world market. I will begin to sell all of these items under the label "Wayser Systems" for $10-20 (U.S. currency) less than any price found throughout the world (heck, in some places I'll be giving the things away). This will not only create a love for my company in the hearts of the masses,but it will also allow me to create a monopoly over the retail industry just like in the game (conveniently entitled Monopoly). I will use bribes and/or secret threats of mass destruction to prevent any enforcement of anti-trust laws existing in any country on earth.

Inc. and Microsoft) have replaced other products of a similar nature in every household in the world, I will have successfully taken over the retail industry. Immediately following this success, I will continue to take over other areas of business and commerce, beginning with the New York stock exchange and ending with the little credit union in Morgan, Utah. Once this next phase of my plan has been successfully implemented, I will publicly announce that I own everything, so everyone had best give me the world or else. This announcement will ironically be shown by the TV, radio and cable stations I own on the television and radio sets I manufactured. HAHAHA (another sinister laugh, this time with a slight drawl of satire in it). After this is completed, I will be able to say that the

world is officially mine. This final step of my takeover wil l most likely be completed in the year 2008 when I am only 25. Just imagine the conversations I'll be able to have: Person 1 - "I made my first million at 19. Beat that." Person 2 - "Well, I became the Pope when I was 23. " Person 3 - "Oh yeah, well I won seven Super Bowls by the time I was 24." Me - "I got you all beat. I took over the world at 25, and now I own all of you. And as for you, Mr. 'Seven Super Bowls,' I confine you to 30 years of hard time in the 'kitchen of endless potatoes."' HAHAHA (once again a sinister laugh, but this time with a little bit of pepper thrown into the mix). For information on governmental strategies and specific details as to the culture that will develop from this takeover, talk to my llama. I'm tired.

George W. Bush, who now regards himself as the president-elect, has named Dick Cheney, his vice presidential running mate, to oversee the transition that he expects to usher in a new Republican administration. Cheney, with his extensive Washington experience, is a sound choice. But as the

nation now has been reminded, he is also a man with a worrisome health history, the details of which Cheney has zealously guarded. Given that history, legiti mate questions are being asked about his ability to cope with the stresses of high office. Cheney has had four heart attacks - the most recent last weekand in 1988 underwent quadruple bypass surgery. His doctors say that Cheney should be able to carry out official duties.

Election full of deceit Dear Editor, Our nation is on the verge of electing a president on a lie: that George Bush received more Florida votes than Al Gore. The Bush camp understands this, and has spent the last three weeks obfuscating the relevant issues, diverting attention from important questions, intimidating elections boards and blocking every attempt at any complete count unfettered by the gross distortions and omissions of the machine count Republicans wrongly praise as "objective." Their success at preventing a single complete count is due in no small part to the power of Bush's brother and

Florida campaign manager in their roles as governor and secretary of state, respectively. More than 2,500 votes in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties have yet to see the light of day in a race separated by 500 votes. The Republican rhetoric about "counting over and over until Gore gets the result he likes" is a lie, and they know it. This mockery of democracy makes developing nation elections look downright impeccable. We must demand that Bush stop using his personal connections to block the search for the truth, and allow ONE complete, transparent hand count, mon itored by representatives of both parties and the media . As Joe Lieberman said, how can we teach our children that every vote counts if we don't even try to count every vote?

► CONSUMERISM From Page 10

Gift-buying has become the focus of Christmas, when really the message should be quite different. While giving a gift is a gesture of love, the sincerity behind the giving is the real gift. Isn't that the point of the season? Showing

how much we love and care for each other should be the focus? And while the season does bring opportunities like Sub for Santas and other charity projects, in reality many of us only take care of our fellow man for a short ti me before we forget and get back

to the hustle bustle of life. Messages encouraging thoughtfulness yearround have become cliche, but should still ring true: The season should last all year. We should think of each other, like we do at Christmas, all the time.

► CHENEY From Page 10 essential information is controlled in the Bush camp. Presidents, or their doctors or families, often hide the truth about health problems that could affect how they carry out their duties. The public knew nothing

about the onset of RonaId Reagan's Alzheimer's disease near the end of his presidency. The Addison's disease that John F. Kennedy suffered was regarded as a vi rtual state secret.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's doctors knew he was dying from heart disease even as he ran for a fourth term in 1944, but they didn't tell even the president or his family. The never-acknowledged breakdown in Woodrow Wilson's health late in his second term left his presidency in the hands of unelec;:ted surrogates. Precisely because experience shows clearly that presidents tend to hide or minimize serious health problems, it's right to insist, befo re they are elected, that all presidential and vice presidential candidates disclose whatever medical information might be relevant to their ability to serve. To wait until a possibly foreseeable problem actually manifests itself is not a sound alternative.

USU finished fourth in the Big West Conference, boasting a season record of21-9, 10-6 in league action. "[We've] had lots of firsts for the team this year," said head coach Tom Peterson. "It's a great honor to play in the NCAA Tournament, but now we want to play as well as a top team in the country should play." USU is one of five teams making a first appearance at the tournament this year. Other first-time schools include Missouri, Alabama A&M, Texas-San Antonio and Georgia State University.

USU'smission impossiblealmost came true in Dennehy'sfirst season AARON MORTON

SportsEditor August 18: USU's football team's media day. About eight members of the Salt Lake and Cache Valley media descended on Romney Stadium to interview a host of players and coaches. As the reporters wandered around the field asking questions, they continued to hear the same thing: The Aggies were going to win the conference. For most college football teams, this is a standard procedure. Don't say anything negative, don't bad mouth other players. But this was Utah State. The team's coach was fired immediately after last season with some controversy, the new coach had never coached at the Division I level, and the team was extremely young. Every poll and magazine had USU at the bottom of the Big \Vest Conference. Though the team was 1-4 after being run out of Cougar Stadium in USU's final nonconference game,

runningback/returner Emmett White looked reporters in the eye and sai<lhis team would compete for the final Big West Championship. The players knew what they were talking about. "I think we have made significant, measurable progress," Dennehy said. Despite the disappointing loss to Idaho State University in the finale, the Aggies did a lot more than anyone thought they would. Taking a page from the 19992000 USU basketball team's book, USU won when it counted, winning its first four Big \,Vest games to force a championship game with favorite Boise State University. The Broncos did embarrass the Aggies, scoring eight touchdowns in their 66- 38 win in Bronco Stadium. "Coming short in Boise was a real difficult pill to swallow," Dennehy said. The season ended on a sour note when USU lost 27-24 to Division I-AA JSU in Romney Stadium. The usually potent

Aggie offense seemed stuck in mud, or the frozen turf. Dennehy said anybody can beat anybody in college football and it was a tough lesson for USU to learn. "If we can learn from that, we can use that as great motivation," he said. While that was the low point, the high point was the run at the championship, Dennehy said. After losing tough road games to Texas Tech University an<lArizona State University and dropping two of three instate games vs. the University of Utah, Brigham Young University and Southern Utah University, the Aggies opened up with a 17-12 win over the University of North Texas. \Vhile the victory wasn't anything spectacular, it was important to the team's confidence. Then the team wowed the home crowd with a 31-14 drubbing of the University of I<laho. The win was all that more ► SEE SEASON

impressive because U of I was one of USU's main rivals - the Vandals smashed the Aggies 31-3 in Pullman, Wash., the season before. "Once we got into league, we played a brand of football that we were capable of playing," Dennehy said. "The kids made a statement." The next week, one "kid" made another big statement. Against New Mexico State University, junior running back Emmett White smashed the NCAA record for all-purpose yards in a game with 578 yards. He also scored four touchdowns, including the winning one with 28 seconds left in a wild 44-37 victory in Las Cruces, N.M. For his efforts, the humble White earned national recognition and a small story in Sports Illustrated. White is one of the reasons the future looks bright - "very bright," Dennehy said - for Utah State. \Vhite and most of the offensive and defensive units will return next year. The lineman and defensive backs are extremely young, while linebackers Jesse Busta and Tony Newson (senior who received a medical red shirt) will be back. His main blocker John Roberts and half the offensive line will be back. Jose Fuentes and starter-turned-challenger Jeff Crosbie will be back. The biggest challenge, Dennehy said, will be trying to replace Aaron Jones. But the former Montana head coach will have a lot of scholarships to offer. He cleaned house when he came in this season, taking about 20 scholarships away. Only the NCAA restriction of signing a maximum of 25 players will hold him back. But USU fans can't say, "Wait 'till next year," because there isn't going to be a next year - at least for the Big West Conference in football. The Aggies are going to go it alone next season as an independent. "Our hands are really tied for a year," Dennehy said. "[But) our philosophy has been to deal with the circumstances the best we can." So USU has made a schedule that will be challenging, but also fan-friendly because of the type of teams that will play in Romney Stadium. The University of Wyoming, the University of Oregon, the University of Central Florida and regional teams ISU and Weber State University will come to Logan . "We have a great home schedule," Dennehy said. But with the schedule comes three trips East - including Louisiana State University . The pro : Seeing some places that some kids have never seen: The con: The trips will be expensive, Dennehy said. But even playing stronger opponents, the Aggies will only have an outside chance of playing in the postseason . "An at-large bowl would be the pot of gold at the end of the year," Dennehy said. Aggie fans hope that gold isn't as mythical as the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

With a minus l 9-degree wind-chill factor, Mitch Zundel was the only Aggie to compete in the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Ames, Iowa, Nov. 20, officially ending this year's cross country season. Zundel finished 147th out of 255 runners, which is more impressive than it might sound. "One-hundred and fortyseventh doesn't seem like a really good place," said head coach Gregg Gensel, "but when you consider that he was only 60 seconds from being All-American, and it was 19 below with the wind chill, his finish was pretty good." "I didn't expect him to even make it [to the championships] this year," Gensel said, "it being only his second year of · running cross country with us, so I am really excited about what he accomplished. He'll do good in indoor and outdoor track and continue to progress and become stronger, more confident and more aggressive." Because the Aggies didn't qualify for the championships as a team, their last meet was the NCAA Regionals Nov. 11 in Ogden, where Zundel qualified individually. Rebecca Thornley and Beka Leffler also raced well at the meet and were only seconds behind being able to go to the championships, too. Thornley and Leffler were the top two Aggie finishers on the women's team at every meet this year and had several first- and second-place overall individual finishes. "Rebecca and Beka did outstanding all year," Gensel said. "They ran well and came really close to qualifying for nationals." Gensel said that despite being so young, this year's team had a good season. "Tne team did better than I expected," he said. "I am

pleased because they tried so hard. They are much better than the teams of the past few years." Gensel also said one thing he learned this year was to never underestimate the abilities of the individual runners. If they have enough mental strength and determination, they can accomplish what they want to. Gensel said he is looking forward to next year's team being even better. He has signed one female recruit already, with another coming soon. He said he expects to sign many more men and women in the spring.

The men's team is losing one of its top five runners, Brick Bergeson - but Zundel, JasonJones, Demetrios Cabanillas,Jesse Hodges and Steve Prescott will all be back next year. The women's team will lose bpth Thornley and Leffler, but will return Shae Messersmith, Christi Howell, Sharee Hatch and Carol Cabanillas. Most of the cross country runners also run indoor and outdoor track to stay in shape year round and are now training for the indoor track season. Their first official practice will be Dec. 9, with the meets starting in January.

The New York Mets should demand a recount. Sure they lost the World Series to their New York counterparts in just five games, but the games were really close . Three of them were decided by just one run, and the other two were decided by two runs. I'm sure if the scorekeepers looked a little closer they'd find an extra run or two for the Mets. And if they don't, they can always fudge a little. Do you remember the play at the plate in Game 2 of the Series - the one when Derek Jeter threw out Ti mo Perez at

Brown said turnovers are most frequent at the beginning of the season - USU is averaging 19 turnovers a game so far this year. Turnovers plagued the Aggies in the last two contests, so the team worked on ball handling in practice this week. Brown said the Aggies have lived by one main rule this week - never mrn the ball over twice in a row. Though turnovers have been a problem this season, offense hasn't. "We're shooting the ball really well," Brown said. "We're getting great looks at the basket." The Aggies are shooting 54.7 percent from the field so far. They aren 't too shabby

Yeah, he should have run hard al I the way aro und the bases, but he was probably confused by his third base coach . \ Believe me, I've played · baseball , and sometimes it' s hard to tell whether the base coach is waving you home or toward left field. The re are times the runner just has to guess, and that's not fair. Perez should get to run the bases again. In fact, the entire Subway Series should be played over again. It's obvious that numerous Mets players intended to score, but they were too con fused. To punish them for their ignorance just isn't fair . It's not what this great nation is about. It's mean and un-American . We need to make sure every run is counted from this year's World Series, and the Mets shouldn't rest until they've won . So what if it tears the baseball world apart? So what if it leaves the rulebook dangling by a thread? It

Security Council, said: "This has been conjectured in Israel for some time, so I don't know we were surprised by it," Crowley said. "It is an internal matter." The parliament session was closely watched by the Palestinians. :Nabil Shaath, a Palestinian negotiator, said he was still hopeful a peace accord can be reached before the elections. "Barak still has six months until the coming elections, and if he wants, he can stop his aggression and adopt a new policy that will enable him to go to his people with progress in the peace process," Shaath said. Palestinian officials have said privately that they believe it is possible to negotiate a peace agreement with Barak, despite his tough stance toward them over the past two months, when Israel launched several airstrikes against Palestinian targets, responding to Palestinian attacks. Barak told parliament that peace agreements with Israel's neighbors remained his top priority. However, in a warning to the Palestinians, he said he will "not make peace at any price." Amid the political turmoil, Israeli-Palestinian fighting persisted, though with less intensity than in previous weeks. A 17-year-old Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire in a clash at the Kami crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip, and earlier in the day, a 15-year-old Palestinian died of wounds suffered Saturday. More than 2 80 people, most of them Palestinians, have been killed since fighting broke out Sept. 28 following a visit by Sharon to a contested Jernsalem shrine. There have been growing signals in recent days that Israel and the Palestinians are making a new effort to end the violence. Several days ago, both sides agreed to renew security coordination, and Israel has ease<l some of its travel and trade restrictions on the Palestinians.

AssociatedPress HAVANA-A year after Elian C'TOnzalezwas rescued in the Florida Straits, his Cuban father thanked Fidel Castro and the,Cuban people for their help in getting the boy back this past summer and indicated the 6-year-old is doing well. "My family and I went through very difficult days because of the uncertainty of what was going to happen to our little Elian," Gonzalez wrote in a letter published Tuesday in the Communist Party daily Gramna. To<lay,"I feel like an average Cuban who can watch his son laugh, play and learn freely," Gonzalez wrote in the letter dated Monday . Elian "as all other Cuban children, enjoys the security and immense wellbeing of living in this Socialist Revolution," the letter said. Elian's father wrote that when the battlt: for the child's repatriation first began in

December 1999, he and his family "couldn't even imagine then how much more we were going to suffer and how hard it was going to be to achieve his return. "After 12 months, seven of them a rough battle, we never felt alone, our people ma<le the demand for Elian's return theirs and that gave us the strength and human warmth we so needed," Gonzalez continued. Gonzalez expressed his "eternal gratitude" to the Cuban people and Castro in particular for their support during the international custody battle for Elian that <livided Cubans living on both sides of the straits. The fight began a year ago this week when the boat carry ing Elian to the United States sank off the Florida coast, killing his mother and IOothers and casting him adrift on an innertube.

The case went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court before Gonzalez was able to return with his child to Cuba. "The suffering we have lived through is not easy to forget," the father wrote.

compromised'appearanceof impartialiq1i 1 little choice but to accept the government's breakup proposal. And in a speech to an antitrust conference in New York in late September, Jackson said his order was a last resort forced by the company's unwillingness to make changes voluntarily. Microsoft on Monday asked the appellate court to overturn Jackson's order in June that the company be broken into two parts. If the higher court calls for a new trial, Nlicrosoft wants someone other than Jackson to preside. Monday's brief was the latest volley in a long-running battle that could result in the largest government-ordered restructuring since the AT&T breakup in 198-l. Microsoft's brief asked the federal appeals court to find that Jackson was wrong in concluding that the software giant was an unfair monopoly, and reverse his breakup order. "The case went awry from the outset," said company spokesman Vivek Varma, "and our appeal provides a comprehensive picture of why Microsoft should win this case.'' Said Justice Department spokeswoman Gina Talamona: "The judgment is well supported by the evi-

D. IAN HOPPER AssociatedPress

WASHINGTON Seeking to keep its business intact, Microsoft filed legal briefs Monday alleging the federal judge who ordered its breakup compromised the "appearance of impartiality." In i ~s first filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which now has custody of the landmark case, Microsoft lambasted U.S. DistrictJudge Thomas Penfield Jackson as a biased judge who thrust himself into the dispute rather than resolve it impartially. "By repeatedly commenting on the merits of the case in the press," the company's brief argued, "the district judge has cast himself in the public's eye as a participant in the controversy, thereby compromising the appearance of impartiality, if not demonstrating actual bias against Microsoft." A spokeswoman for Jackson said the judge had no comment on Microsoft's statements. "Believe me, I have no grud ge against Microsoft," Jackson said in an interview with The Washington Post just days after his June ruling. But in the interview, rare for a federal judge, he said he had

ing a disputed vote count in May legislative elections, the United States and other donors warned a disputed presidential contest could raise questions about the legitimacy of Aristide's gov<':rnment. But in a sign the international community was prepared to giveorAristide a chance, U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said Monday, "We're glad (the elections) went ahead as planned and that there was relatively little violence." The Organization of American States stressed "the need to ensure the broad political representation and citizen participation critical to the development of Haitian democracy." Opposition parties have boycotted the process since May, when Aristide's party won 80 percent of the legislature in a vote they charged was rigged to ensure oneparty rule. Aristide ran for president against six unknowns. After first becoming president in 1990, Aristide was toppled in a 1991 military coup and then restored in 1994 by a U.S.-led invasion to halt a' flood of refugees to Florida. , Facing a constitutional ban on consecutive terms, he reluctantly ceded power to a hand-picked successor in 1996.

DAVID CRARY

AssociatedPress OTTAWAJean Chretien had exhorted voters to "Remember Florida," and they heeded his message, delivering a no-recount-needed election victory that gave the prime minister's Liberal Party a third straight majority government_ The outcome placed Chretien among the most successful Canadian politicians of all time, yet it also highlighted the nation's bitter East-West divide. The Liberals were trounced by the conservative Canadian Alliance in the three western provinces, but the Alliance failed to impress the more populous East. For Chretien, prime minister since 1993, it was a personal triumph. He had risked a backlash by calling an election less than 3 1/2 years into his fiveyear term, and leaders of the four opposition parties hoped to deprive him of an outright majority in the 301-seat House of Commons. The Liberals gained seats, improving from 161 to 173. The Canadian Alliance improved from 58 seats to 66, but its dreams of a breakthrough in pivotal Ontario fizzled - it won just two of the 103 seats in the most populous province, com pared to 100 for the Liberals. In one of many Election Day allusions to the deadlocked U.S. presidential election, Health Minister Allan Rock an easy re-election winner in Toronto - exulted over the ~liance's unthreatening showing.

"They can look at all the dimpled chads they want," he said. The Liberals lost a few seats in the West, but more than compensated with gains in the Atlantic provinces and, most surprisingly, in Quebec. The Liberals picked up eight seats in the mostly French-speaking province t9 evenly split Quebec's seats 37-37 with the separatist Bloc Quebecois. The Bloc, which hopes evenrually to win a referendum on seceding from Canada, received 40.5 percent of the Quebec votes, compared to 43.6 percent for the Liberals. "This shows that · Quebeckers want to turn the page, that we want to go forward as a country together," said John Rae, one of Chretien's campaign managers. The Bloc leader, Gilles Duceppe, refused to abandon the dream of independence. "The struggle of the people of Quebec sometimes passes by roads that are very difficult," he said. "But in my most deepest soul I know Quebec will one day be a country - our country." The deputy premier of Quebec, Bernard Landry, said Tuesday he was heartened that the Bloc increased its share of popular votes from 38 percent in 1997. But he declined to predict the timing of a new independence referendum, saying, "We will have a referendum when we will win." Chretien, 66, was re-elected for the 11th time from his district in Shawinigan, Quebec, a factory town where he grew up as one of 19 children. When

President Clinton leaves office l 1 inJanuary, Chretien will ., : becom e the longest-serving =;,: leader of any of the major - : industrial pow ers. ; ;, "The campai gn often was :: too n_egativeand too personal," .. :: Chretien told supporters. "The : Canadian people now expect all r of us to carry out our responsiI bilities." Turnout for the election was :I only 63 percent, the lowest of :, any Canadian election in at :: least 75 years. Of nearly 13 ,• million votes cast, the Liberals , received 41 percent, the ,, Alliance 25 percent, the Bloc ;: Quebecois 11 percent, the :: Progressive Conservatives 12 :; percent and the New Democrats 8.5 percent. 11 The leftist New Democrats :: and center-ri g ht Pro g ressive :; Conservatives each lost seats, finishing with 13 and 12 respectively. Th e Progressive Conservative leader, former Prime Minister Joe Clark, won a tough race in Calgary, Alberta, and vowed to restore -; the once -powerful party to : national prominence. , •~ Clark's determination bodes ' •: ill for the Canadian Alliance, ~[ which was formed out of the Reform Party earlier this year with th e aim of uniting conser - , vative voters in a single party. :; In many Ontario districts, :: Lib eral candidates won because ., :: of a split in votes for the ·•1,,:: Alliance and Progressive ~Conservatives.

ed his party would find a path to power. "We will be the government that will respect the taxpayers, will respect provinces and will respect this great nation as people want it respected," said Day, who struggled throughout the campaign to convince Easterners he was not a right-wing radical. It was clear that a solid plurality of Canadians felt satisfied with the Liberals' economic policies. Chretien and his finance minister, Paul Martin, have eliminated the budget deficit and embarked on a long-promised program of tax cuts. The decisive outcome was only one of many contrasts between the Canadian and U.S. elections. Canada's campaign lasted only five weeks, and campaign spending was a tiny fraction of the estimated $2 billion spent by American candidates, parties and special interest~.
