Towers resident dies aftercollapsing on field trip

BY GINNY EGGLESTONNews Writer

Towers dormitory resident, Tamie Krischuck, diedon Sunday following a collapse from a brain aneurismwhile on a Biology 100 Service Learning field trip.According to Frank Zang, director of communica-

tions and marketing at Boise State, Krischuk collapsedon Friday at Deer Flat Wildlife Refuge.She was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Nampa,

and then transported to St. Alphonsus in Boise foremergency treatment.University students organized a 24-hour vigil at

Krischuk's side until her family arrived from Anchorage,

Alaska on Saturday."The only, thing [the family] asked was someone

stay by Tamie. Students stayed by her two at a time allnight: said Zang. "It has been a very sad and tragic lossfor the campus community. Even a university of oursize is touched personally by the loss of one of our stu-dents ... the University has tried to be assupportive aspossible." 'Tower's residents and Krischuk's friends organized

a memorial service on Monday night which Krischuk'sfamily, BSU President Bob Kustra, Mark Wheeler, andother faculty and staff members attended.BSU is providing grief counseling through the Health

and Wellness Center.

BSU to implement plus/minus systemserving students from doing so."This system allows Boise State

faculty to reward our most diligentstudents with a grade with a plusattached, and the increased qual:ity points associated with it," saidDavid Saunders, associate profes-sor of music and president of theBSU Faculty Senate."Students whose work is on the

borderline between say, an A and aB, would qualify for the B+ and mayin some cases have an opportunityto earn an A-. These are better re-wards for good work than the B.This system can also help solve thegrade-inflation issue that facultyhave been asked to recognize."Boise State will continue to

use a 4.0 grading .scale to deter-mine a student's GPA. Beginningin spring 2007 letter grades willrange from A+ and A (4.0 qualitypoints per credit hour) to D- (0.7)

COURTESY OF NEWSSERVICES

To more accurately reflect theactual performance of its stu-dents in the classroom, Boise StateUniversity announced that its grad-ing system will be modified to in-corporate plus and minus (+/-), grading beginning with the spring2007 semester.According to university officials,

the +/ - grading system will betterdistinguish a student's work. Underthe current system, a student witha 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in acourse and a student with a 2.9 GPAin the same course would both earna C grade. The +/- grading systemwould better identify the superiorwork of the student with the higherGPA and award him or her with

2.3 .quality points per credit hourand a C+ while the other studentwould receive 1.7 qualitypoints and a CO.The +/- grading system

will also give Boise Stateinstructors more discretecalculations, allowingthem to better justify, forexample, why a student onthe borderline between aC and a B should or shouldnot receive' a B- (and 2.7quality. points per credithour) rather than a C+(2.3 quality points). The+/- grading system, offi-cials said, provides a moreequitable procedure to al-low deserving students tomove up to the next gradelevel and prevent less-de-

quality points and F (0 qualitypoints) to calculate a student's GPA.Grades of B, C and D will continueto count for 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0 quality'points, respectively.A cumulative 2.0 GPAwill contin-

ue to be the minimum requirementfor graduation and a C- grade willbe accepted to satisfy prerequisitesand core requirements.All grades from courses taken

prior to the implementation ofthe +/- grading system, as well asgrades' from other postsecondaryinstitutions not using the system,will still be used in a student's GPAcalculation.Provost Sona Andrews acknowl-

edged that the new grading sys-tem will be a change for students."Change is sometimes difficult, butI am confident that once we beginusing this new system that studentswill see its benefits," she said.

"There was widespread sup-port for this change by theBoise State University facultywho see the -l- grading sys-tem as a positive step forward.It will be important for all in-structors to make certain stu-dents are aware of how gradeswill be calculated in their classand for this to be clearly statedin the course syllabus."Following is the grading

scale that Boise State will usebeginning in spring 2007.Grades between A+ and F willbe used to' calculate a stu-dent's GPA. A "pass," "with-draw" or "incomplete" will.not be used to calculate astudent's GPA.

C51 moves controversial artBY GINNY EGGLESTON

NEWS WRITER

Per the College of Southern Idaho's president, JerryBeck's request, nude artwork was moved out of CSI'sHerrett Center for Arts and Science to the LamphouseTheater in Twin Falls.According to Michael Youngman, an associate art

professor at CSI, the alternative show dubbed "OdiousAddendum" had a good opening night despite thechange in location. "It was extremely well attended.Over 300 people [camel to the alternative site."Despite the move, Youngman said he felt the admin-

istration supported the art department..According to Youngman CSI's administration pro-vided money for the theatre rental, live music, and

refreshments.Youngman said CSI's administration gets complaints

every year from the public regarding the annual stu-dent exhibition in the Herrett Center. "Twin Falls is aconservative community [and] so much is tied to thepublic. [The nude artwork] could have an effect onthe donors." -Youngman said in the past donors have withheld

money because of controversial activities on CSl's cam-pus. "[The administration has 1more practical concernsrather than strictly ethical concerns."

One of the pieces moved received "Best of Show"in the two-dimensional category. The piece is a malenude painting entitled "ASelf Portrait" by student artistMichael Miller.Boise State University Gallery director, Kirsten

Furlong, said the public should be educated on the na-ture of an exhibition and the reason for nude art. "Nudesare a very traditional, old fashioned subject ...Typicallyartists who are depicting nudes have a reason."According to Furlong, the recent MFA thesis exhlbi-

, tion at BSU, "postures and Parts: Composing the MaleNude" by student Candace Nicol drew some controver-sy. "I think [the exhibition] was controversial because[the pieces J were digital prints of male nudes off photo-graphs ...the more typical nude is the female body."Furlong posted a sign warning patrons ofthe images

on the outside of the gallery so people could choose notto view the exhibit. Also, in an effort to educate the pub-lic, Furlong posted the artist's statement and made cop-ies ofthe statement available to gallery patrons.Furlong said the Herrett Center's gallery is different

than BSU's gallery. "The Herrett Center is a larger artcenter where various audiences will be going through.[BSU's gallery] rarely to never [has] school groups orlarge groups of children going through.""Odious Addendum" will be on display through April

30 at the Lamphouse Theatre in Twin Falls.

Parking and Transportation department, along withASBSUand the bureaucrats within the university justwant to gouge the students and staff of Boise State. I can understand a Justified increase of4 or 5percent,but 15percent is down right ridiculous!

Boise State student creates custom motor bikesBY TAMARA PARTEN

Culture Writer

"I was just riding around and people noticed me," Scottsaid. Which isn't at all difficult. Scott has been known torlde his motorized bike down Vermont Street while wear-ing a black bandana, sucking 'on a cigarette dangling fromhis lips.He likes to park his bike in front of the downtown restau-

rant where he works and people who pass by sometimes ., come into the restaurantto try to find the bike's owner. "NowIhave 10orders forbikes people want me to build,"Scott said."It was just natural to start a business:'His bikes start at a base price of $500,which, considering

that it goes 35 mph, and gets about 60 miles to its two litertank, isn't abad deal at all. Especially if it'syour only mean oftransportation, as it is for Scott, "Its not so expensive that noone can afford it,"he said. "AndIt's especially a good way totravel with this gas crunch."With all ofthis popularity centered on his knack lor build-

ing bikes, culinary arts school has been pushed aside. But anew interest has formed and Scott is going to pursue anotherarea of study."I'm going back to mechanical school in the fall:' he said.If you're interested in Scott's custom-made motor-

If you're looking to exchange your lO-year,old Huffy for acool customized retro cruiser bikewith white wall tires, a ba-nana seat, moon handlebars, streamers and a bullet light, gosurf the Internet's numerous customized bike websites. Butifyouwant a completely original bikewith 'allofyour favoritefeatures, and a little extra oomph, then you maywant to talkto Scott.Scolt and his new business CycleBillyMotor Bikes (which

is a name he and a coworker came up while listening to psy-cho-billy music) is helping to bring back the old Whizzerstyle motor bikes from the I940s,making the popular cruiserbike trend in Boisea whole lot faster."Igot the idea to make myownmotorized bike fromwatch-

ing old movies about WorldWar II:' Scott said.Breene-Taylor Engineering, an L.A. based manufacturer

At the onslaughtofWorldWar II, Breene-Taylorwason the brinkof goingout ofbusiness, but they somehow convinced the U.S.Governmentthat the Whizzer was a goodway fordefense workers to travelto and fromwork.The Whizzer grew in popularity after the war, but by 1965,

the public simply lost interest. Yetnow, 40 years later, Scott,who has been building hot rods and motorcycles since hewas a kid, is helping to bring motorized bikes back.Scott's business wasn't intentionally created. After those

The other day I was bored and I couldn'thelp thinking about the game Kung Fu.Okay, that's not entirely accurate.The other day I was avoiding homework

and trying to find something - anything -on the Internet to entertain me and take mymind off of my assignment - and then KungFu happened to pop into my head.You remember Kung Pu, the old school .

Nintendo game with graphics so poor thatif you were to show it to an eight-year-oldtoday and explain that you played it as akid, he would laugh in your face and kickyou in the shin. Apparentlyeight-year-oldsof today are big kickers. I read that on theInternet, too. (Okay, not really.)I remember the game Kung Fu really well

for some reason, which is odd because hon-estly I've remembered very little since Iturned 18.My brain has inexplicably retained intri-

cate knowledge about a side-scrolling fight-ing game that was released in 1985. Sadly,only making me feel incredibly old, young-sters born in 1985can buy alcohol this year.Maaan, where does the time go?I'm not sure why it is that Kung Fu has

stuck in my brain sowell since I first thoughtof it last week, but since that time I've beendying to play it again. (Also, I just sneezedall over my keyboard. That's kind of gross.Sorry, that was sort of off-topic.)I remember vividly the day we sold our

Nintendo and all of the corresponding. games at a garage sale. It was a sad occa-sion, and it sort of hallmarked my transitionfrom a boy who played with toys like thatinto a boy who .no longer played with toyslike that because they had been sold off, andnow sat in the back room and stared at 'thewall. .Yes, we all have these sorts of moments

from our pasts, when wewant to smack our- .selves on the forehead and ask "What wasI thinking?" Of course, I have no need tosmack myself on the forehead - as soor. asI get a hold of a copy of Kung Fu, I'll simplyshow it to an eight-year-old and he'll takecare ofthe rest from there.Video games in general have spiked

steeply in the lifelike quality of the gamesoffered as well as the concepts and lengthsof game play. When I was a kid (Oh crap,here I go), we shot at ducks with orangeguns and bashed bricks with little Italianmen's heads - all very much in 2-0.Nowadays, you can wander around an en-

tire city, steal a car and pistol-whip a pros-titute to death. And we wonder why violentcrime is on the rise. At least ducks are safeagain, though.Hollywood keeps making movies out

of video games, which at first, I'll admit,sounded like a great idea. Why not transi-tion kids' attention away from gaming con-soles and back to the movie screens wheretheir grandparents would stare only twogenerations ago.Sadly, though, they keep picking the

.wrong titles to cinematize. "Silent Hill"is due out this year and another "ResidentEvil" sequel is slated for a 2007 release.Screw all of that. Gimme a movie wheresome punk kid shoots at ducks and his doglaughs at him when he misses. No, serious-ly. That sounds awesome.So, anyway, I should probably be getting

back to my homework. I think I've wast-ed enough time talking about Nintendogames.In the mean time, if anyone can get me a

copy of Kung Fu, please let me know. AndHOllywood execs, should "Duck Hunt: TheMovie" make it to the big screen, I'll be ex-pecting a $5 royalty check in the mail.Thank you for your time.

Abstract art can be considered avaluable asset to the artistic com-munity. Right now, inthe LiberalArts Building, the "Peephole: BFAThesis Exhibition" is showing.This exhibit illustrates some of

the vital energy generated by theBoise State art students.As you enter, April HOff's "Zero

Findings of Abnormality" appearson the right, capturing an inspira-tional mood. Moving along, an un-titled work by Tyler Ramsey capti-vates the attention ofthe audience.Next, a mixture of materials of

fabric, thread, paint, 'aluminumand copper bring to life DuAnnWright's, "Journey." A blurbfrom Wright near the work states,"Nothing stays the same. As a soci-ety we are constantly growing andlearning."Continuing through the room,

viewers can encounter more ofHoff's work. Hoff suffers from mi-graines, and her work expresses thecathartic expression of her condi-tion. According to Hoff, her artgoesbeyond her condition and resem-bles iconic self-portraits. Therefore,she is concerned with the commu-nication between the mind and thebody."[My work] is engaging some

other aspect or part of myself," Hoffsaid. In a booklet at the entranceshe states, "Forcing myselfto makeart while I have a migraine some- ,times leads to Interim relief of thesymptoms."Just looking at Hoff's artwork,

document what I see as the fadingexistence of an important lifestyle,that of the American cowboy," Kaysaid.One additional, yet crucial fact

about this exhibit is that it is onlyhalf of the BFA Thesis Exhibitioncurrently showing at BSU.The remaining 50 percent of this

ent town. But the band warns, thislifestyle is not for the faint of heart."You have to be a little crazy,"

Wachter said. "And we are all a littlebit crazy.""I feel like I've completely crossed

over the threshold of totally insane,"Milicevic said, "I don't feel normal.I think about when I was youngerand I know I am not that same per-son anymore. I'm-definitely insane.I've definitely lost my mind."Since these guys have been tour-

ing for so long, they call the tour bustheir home."We're gypsies:' Wachter said .."We're nomads, vagabonds, call

me what you will," Miliceyic saidreferencing Metallica's "WhereverIMay Roam.'But Wachter and Milicevic agree

that they are lucky to have theirrock star jobs."There's days when it's hard, but

there's a bigger picture, and we'revery grateful to be able to do this.Being able to get up everyday andplay music has been a dream of ourssince we were kids," Wachter said."It's hard to complain, but we're hu-man. We have bad days just like ev-eryone else.""The fact is tomorrow we could

get a call from the record companyand they could tell us to' basicallygo fuck ourselves. That's such a realpossibility that you just have to en-joy everyday like it's your last day'you get to do this," Milicevic said.That's how 30 Seconds to Mars

is able to keep their performancesfresh and entertaining for their fans- they live in the moment., "If you don't do that, you will be-come boring and you will start tohate your job:' Milicevic said. "It's ajob just like any other job."Though they agree being in a rock

band is definitely one of the betterjobs either of them has had, theseguys know crappy jobs. Milicevicand Wachter both have had theirshare of horribly odd jobs that theywould love to forget.For Milicevic, it was cleaning

movie theaters at night, and forWachter it was working at a themerestaurant."I just hated everyone of my

jobs:' Wachter said. "I could findsomething I loathe in each and ev-eryone of those jobs.""It makes me grateful for where I

am now:' he said.With all their time spent on the

road, this band has barely had timefor family and friends, much lessany vacationing.According to Milicevic, the last

time he took a vacation was beforehejoined the band. "One month be-fore I was in this band was the lastvacation I had."And Wachter took a mere two

days off to go snowboarding withsome pals in Tahoe. Apparently thisrock 'n' roll lifestyle is harder than Ithought.Wachter and Milicevic want all

their fans to know how thankfulthey are for their support. "We arevery aware that without them, thisisn't even a reality," Milicevic said.

"It's called scar tissue:' Milicevicinterjected."Scar tissue, yeah:' Wachter said.

"But it's totally healed and I havefunction back in it."According to Wachter, the band is

back on track after his unfortunatemeeting with those pesky scissors, though they still have a few .showsthey still need to make up;Wachter and Milicevic are actu-

ally add-ons to 30 Seconds to Mars.The band was originally only leadsinger Jared Leto and his drum- 'mer brother Shannon. Wachter andMilicevic joined later in the gameafter the first album was alreadyrecorded.Therefore, meshing as a band and

creating that much needed chemis-try took a while.But for Wachter and Milicevic,

they really felt the band comingtogether when they all traveled toSouth Africa."We were stuck in a house togeth-

er and we had to work:' Milicevicsaid.There, it was' the first time the

group all talked, not as band memobers, but as friends. On their lastnight in South Africa at a farewelldinner with a room full of candlesto set the ambience, business wasput on hold for a few hours as themembers of the band really bond-ed."It was a night where music was '

on the back burner at a time when itwas the only thing that affected ourminds," Milicevic said."When we joined the band, the

ship was going and it was so fastthat you just jump and never reallystop to be like, 'I don't even knowyour favorite food," Wachter said.Milicevic admits it took him a

couple of years to really feel like hewas part ofthe band:"Basically you have' to sit back

and do what you know you haveto do and slowly but surely insertyourself into the whole thing,"Milicevic said.The newly found experience as

concert headliners has been "great"for the band. Both Wachter and

Milicevic agree that it's a totallydifferent feeling being the main at-traction than just being one of theopening bands."Opening, you get 20 minutes to

play. And now we get an hour - anhour plus - and we get to kinda stepit up production-wise and now wehave a lighting guy. We're just grow-ing," Wachter said.Last time 30 Seconds to Mars was

in Boise, Iwas fortunate enough tomeet with them, Their first single"Attack:' from their sophomore 'al-bum had been 'pretty successfulon the charts, and the video didthis powerful song the justice it de-served.In that November interview, the

band asked me my opinion on whattheir second single should be, and Isuggested my favorite 30 Seconds-toMars song, "The Kill."Well, well, ladles and gentlemen,

their next single and new video theyjust shot in Canada is that verysong- and it was all because of me."That's exactly why we did it:'

Milicevic said. "No joke, we leftBoise, and me and Jared were talk- .ing and we were like you knowwhat, she's right "The Kill" is thenext single," Milicevic said.That's right, this band definitely

values the input of their fans."The video is definitely our most

ambitious, and I think is going to beour best video yet," Wachter said.According to Wachter and

Milicevic, the video for "The Kill"is going to be completely differentfrom any other one they've donebecause it's inthe format of a shortfilm."We shot it on (35 mm) film be-

cause we wanted to give It that kindof film quality," Wachter said. "Itlooks beautiful."The release date for this video is

"as soon as humanly possible," theguys said. ."Probably within the next week

or two," Wachter said.30 Seconds to Mars toured all of

2005 and will stay on tour for theentire summer. They pretty muchhave a show every night in a differ-

DURHAM,N.C._Hours after twoDuke lacrosse playerswere arrestedin connection with a rape investi-gation that has roiled Durham andmade national headlines, defenselawyers said Tuesday they'll beable to prove the students chargedweren't with the accuser at the timeshe claimed she was assaulted."In the upcoming weeks, the law-

yers for these two students are go-ing to be able to provide objectiveevidence that demonstrates theywere not capable ofcommitting anysexual offense," said Charlotte law-yer Pete Anderson, who representsa player who hasn't been charged."This will include receipts and

other records demonstrating thatthey weren't present at the house atthe time when the assault was al-legedly taking place."Anderson said he has learned

this in the course of representinghis client and talking to other de-fense lawyers, but he and other at-torneys said they can't yet elaborateon the evidence collected.Following the arrests of lacrosse

players Collin Finnerty and ReadeSeligmann on Tuesday, authoritiessaid they are still pressing an inves-tigation into a third possible sus- :pect in the case.In a statement, Durham District

Attorney Mike Nifong said he hadhoped to charge "all three of theassailants at the same time, butthe evidence available to me atthis moment does not permit that.Investigation into the identity ofthe third assailant will continue, inthe hope that he can also be identi-fied with certainty."Finnerty and Seligmann were

released on $400,000 bond earlyTuesday, and the two men had pre-liminary court hearings. Both werecharged with first-degree rape,first-degree sexual offense" andfirst-degree kidnapping.University officials wouldn't

say whether they would suspendFinnerty and Seligmann, but not-ed it's their policy to issue an in-terim suspension when a student ischarged with a felony.Seligmann, a Duke sophomore

from Essex Fells, N.J.,did not ap-pear at his court hearing. He wasrepresented by his attorney; Kirk

Osborn.Finnerty, a sophomore from

Garden City, Long Island, N.Y.,made a brief court appearance. Thenext court date for each man will beMay 15.In November, Finnerty and

two friends were arrested inWashington, D.C., accused ofpunching a man who asked them tostop calling him gay.The charge ispending.Bill Cotter, an attorney repre-

senting Finnerty, said, "They (thegrand jury) only hear one side ofthe story. We're surprised anybodygot indicted, quite frankly."Osborn declined to say whether

his client was at the party when thealleged attack took place.ButRaleighattorney JoeCheshire,

who represents a player who hasn'tbeen charged, said evidence thatdefense lawyers have collected sofar makes it clear that the two stu-dents "could not have been whereshe says they were."Finnerty and Seligmann had no

contact with the accuser at the par-ty, Cheshire said. "Nobody wouldhave ever guessed these two," he

said.

Victim's story questionedFinnerty and Seligmann live in

the same Duke residence hall, alongwith several other lacrosse players.The accuser in the case, a 27-year-old mother of twowho is enrolled atN.C.Central University, has allegedthat three Duke lacrosse playersraped, sodomized and choked her

at an off-campus party where shewashired to perform as an exoticdancer last month.Nifong has said he believes the

woman was raped. Nurses who ex-amined the woman found injuriesconsistent with a sexual assault, hehas noted.But defense lawyers maintain

there's no truth to the allegations.Anderson said he understands

the accuser didn't identify her al-leged assailants until three or fourweeks after the party when she re-viewed photos of Duke lacrosseplayers. He said that delay, coupledwith the accuser's apparent intoxi-cation during the party, make heridentification of assailants ques-tionable.Anderson, recalling his days as

a federal prosecutor, said that "ifsomeone brought me a case basedon eyewitness identification, made"a month after the event by awitnesswho was intoxicated, Iwould throwit out in a heartbeat."No DNAfrom any of the 46 play-

ers tested has been found on the

woman or her clothing.

rises for this tournament. We're like every oth-er team. Wewant to win it. Wewant a chance togo to the NCAA'sand stuff and I'm sure al1nineteams have that same goal.". Despite the Broncos' success this season, theyhave a solid idea ofwhat they need to do to excelin this tournament

"If we overlook somebody and just say thatwe're going to be playing Fresno State in the fi-nals, we're going to be watching the finals; we'renot going to be playing," Tichenor said. "We'vehad a really good attitude this year, taking it onematch at a time and not looking past anybody.Wejust have to keep doing the same thing:'The women have a certain group mentality

that has made them more than just a team thisseason. Cal1it family, cal1 it a sisterhood, cal1 itwhat you like, just know that the team is morethan a collection of individuals."We've had a really good season," Tichenor

said. "Everybody has worked so hard. Everybodyhas been such a big part of it.We've never been asready as we are for this tournament. This is themost prepared team we have brought here."The Broncos are ready, no matter what hap-

pens this weekend. The weather is supposed tobe nice, but the Idaho Spring can be a variantbeast."Hopefully the weather is fine and we can play

(at the Appleton Tennis Center)," Tichenor said."If it's not, it's not. We've played at Rice before,where itwas rainy and last year in Hawaii it wasbeautiful, knock on wood. You just have to heprepared for whatever happens. It's a high-pres-sure tournament. It's controlied chaos some-times. Youjust have to roll with the punches andthe main thing is you have to be ready to play. Iffor some reason we wake up on Friday and it'sraining, then we go indoors."

If it does rain, the matches would be moved tothe BOAScomplex under the bubbles.The biggest advantage the Broncos have is that

they are playing on their home court this week-end."Hopefully, the positive energy and the Bronco

Nation comes out and supports us like they'vealways done," Tichenor said. "That should be anextra lift for all ofour players. The energy, the ex-citement level should be incredible:'The Broncos have twice finished in third place

Small businesses race to MySpace. marketChella Cardona has foundthe perfect advertising ve-hicle for her young, smallbusiness. And it doesn't

cost her a cent.

BY CRAYTON HARRISONThe Dallas Morning News

She's able to keep in close contact with loyal cus-tomers, who instantly spread the word to their friends.When she wants to promote an event at her Dallasspecialty shoe store, Passport Exhibit Gallery, shecan immediately distribute information to hundreds,of people."It's been ahuge benefit," Cardona said. "Because we're

a small busihess, we don't have a lot of money allocatedfor marketing."Cardona has discovered the lucrative promotion-

al secrets of MySpace.com, a site that enjoyed its firstwave of success when bands used it to spread wordabout their music.Since Passport Exhibit Gallery set up a MySpace page .

in December, hundreds of custemers have visited the 'store after discovering it on the Web, she said.As it has become one of the most popular Internet

destinations for young people, MySpace has also at-tractedlegions of small businesses - restaurants, bars,clothing stores, tattoo parlors - trying to reach an au-dience with tastes outside the mainstream. All of themuse the site for free.

o Now MySpace is part of corporate America. Mediaconglomerate News Corp. bought its parent companyin July for $580 million.News Corp. executives have made it clear they want

to boost the site's ad revenue, inviting large companiesto advertise on the site.Thus MySpace stands at a crossroads, with major

corporate brands trying to figure out how to reach itsyoung, hip audiences while small businesses pioneerthe art of reaching customers with help from custom-ers themselves.Users have created roughly 70 million profiles on

MySpace, and the site had 47 million unique users inFebruary, according to its own statistics. It's the sec-ond-most trafficked destination on the Web next to

Yahoo, according ro.comscore Networks.Each MySp(\ce profile page contains space in which

users can post photos, write messages to friends andlist links to their friends' pages.Setting up a MySpace page requires only the most

basic computer skills, an asset that has helped the siteattract so many users. It's also appealing for business

owners.. Gretchen Frizzell, proprietor of Dallas vintage cloth-ing store Dolly Python, set up her own page despite be-ing "not real computer-savvy.' she said."My page isn't all that fancy. I have a background on

the Dolly Python page, and I post pictures every oncein a while. Whatever time allows me, I'll work on it,"Frizzell said. "It kind of gives the store a little bit of per-

sonality."A MySpace user can stay in contact with friends by

agreeing to receive bulletins from them. The user canalso make "friends" with businesses that send out bul--letins as well.

When a bar has a Friday night party, for instance,it.sends out an image of a promotional flier to all itsfriends, who can then spread it to their friends."It's like a virus," said Cardona. "If one person signs

up, you have access to all the people that they're con-nected to."Web companies such as Amazon.com Inc., Google

Inc. and Yahoo Inc. have of late been trying to attractbusinesses such as Cardona's store to use their free list-ings and - eventually -to advertise.Those Internet titans have been trying to develop

more effective ways to let users search for companiesand products available in their neighborhoods.MySpace's no-frills, laissez-faire approach appears

to have already produced a version of this local searchidea, allowing users to find businesses they'll likethrough a Web version of word-of-mouth.In some ways, it's better than having a regular Web

site, said Chris Howell; a Dallas filmmaker who hasused a Myspace page to promote Sweet Science,the

boxing documentary he's making."With this, you have a little bit more control as to af-

fecting your demographic," he said. "You can go outand see people's interests. You can go to groups of doc-umentary filmmakers or film critics and make yourselfknown there."It's also cheaper to have a MySpace site than to pay

for the design and Web space of a professionally ren-dered page. And it's a free alternative to a marketingand advertising budget.Big companies are dipping their toes in MySpace's

waters. The square patty on a Wendy's hamburger hasits own MySpace page, which includes "movies" inwhich the meat sings.The Honda Element's page conducted a contest for

the best background designs for MySpace.Ad sales are jumping at MySpace. News Corp. is

trying to move up the price for ads on its home pageto $750,000 from $100,000, an executive told Fortunemagazine this month.MySpace has also been cleaning up its pages to make

,itself more attractive to squeamish advertisers turnedoff by its unfiltered content.Last week, the company announced the hiring of

Microsoft Corp. executive IIemanshu Nigam as itschief security-officer, putting him in charge of oversee-ing users' safety after media reports of concerns aboutpedophiles using the site.MySpace also recently eliminated more than 200,000

profiles that didn't fit its standards. 'Those moves may make big advertisers inore inter-

ested, but they could turn off users, said Jonathon Feit,editor and publisher of Citizen Culture, a Web maga-zine for young professionals.MySpace thrives "on cultural appeal," he said. "You

can't clean them up and still have them be rough aroundthe edges, which is where all their appeal comes from."There may be a workaround, a way to use MySpace's

power without becoming associated with unsavorycontent.lim Sibert didn't want the legal liability associated

with the old MySpace page dedicated to his bar, thenow-defunct Xpo Lounge.But regulars liked the idea of having a way to con-

nect online, and he allowedthem to use the bar's namewithout officially endorsing anything."It's amazing to me that other businesses don't de

that to develop a community customer base ratherthan customers who just pay their money and leave,"Mr. Sibert said. "My concept was to give everyone own-ership in the business."
