Hollee BlankenshipStaffWriter

With the 1994 legisla-ture in session, ASBSUofficers have made secur-

- ing surplus funds tofinance a proposed multi-purpose classroom build-ing a top priority.

In last week's ASBSUSenate' meetings,ASBSUPresident CJMartin stressed theimportance of therole played by stu-dent leaders in thedecisions made bylegislators.

Martin said-It isimportant that legis-lation is enacted assoon as possiblebecause the build-ing will not beready until at leastthe fall of '95 even ifthe proposal is approvedthis session.

"If it doesn't happenthis year, then it will bedelayed for at least [anoth-er] year. It is our responsi-bility and obligation tomake sure our voices are~leard this time around,"he said.

Martin said he feels con-fident that area legislatorswill support the measure ,

"Roger Madsen andKitty Gumseyhavebothindicated that they will besupportive of the proposal.I'm pretty sure' other':Boise-area legislators will

be supportive, such asPam Bengson and SheilaSorensen," he said.

The Association forNon-Traditional Students,in conjunction withASBSU, will staff a boothin the SUBwhere studentscan call or write to legisla-tors about university-relat-ed issues. '

Other co llegesalso are asking forfunding, but

Martin doesn't think acompetition for statefunds will arise.

"While we do have ourown needs we will besupportive of the otherschools in the state asthey are supportive ofus," Martin said.

Both Martin' and Jonesfeel optimistic aboutBSU's proposal.

"The real work is to getit,approvedby JFAC.Once it gets'throughJFAC, it will probably be 'approved by both theHouse and Senate,"Martin said.

Lobbyist's job is to keep information flowing

Jon WrotenStaffWriter

For hundreds of years,dialog has been a sacred tra-dition among students inuniversities across the globe.

In 1994, BSU's Center forData Processing aims to pullthese chat sessions out ontothe information superhigh-way.

The center has added anew element to traditional

. education by starting a cam-pus-wide student electronicmail system, said SteveMaloney, associate vice pres-ident for Data Processingand Information Manage-ment.

"I think technology playsan important part in educa-tion. This is a way for com-municating with people onand off-campus," Maloneysaid.

E-mail is correspondencetransferred .directly through

.computers. On the system,which started on Jan. 18,students will be able toaccess Internet and Bitnetaccounts, as well as havethe ability to communicatewith students and faculty atBSU and at other schools.

Sophomore chemistrymajor Greg Adkins, given thedifficult job of ASBSUlobby-ist for the 1994legislative ses-sion, said he recognizes thatrepresenting and promotingBSU's interests to the IdahoState Senate and House is animportant role to fill.

Adkins said he meets withsenators, collaborates withother lobbyists and talks tothe Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee.

"I just try to make themaware of what is going on atBSUand if they're aware of itand not doing anythingabout it, then the studentsneed to be informed," Adkinssaid.

Adkins, who' was indebate for' five years, said hehas always been actively

\\~'. .

However, students will stillneed an account on the BStJmainframe or RS6000 sys-.tem to have full Internetcapability.

One of the biggest advan-tages of the program,according to BSU networkmanager Jay Thompson, isthat students will be given auser ID for the course oftheir enrollment at BSU.This will replace the currentsystem of new ID's eachsemester..

."The real advantage isthat a person can sign up forone system and not have tochange their ID numberevery time," Thompsonsaid.

The system was startedwith three elements in mind:availability, convenience andthe ability for the system tobe accessed from off-cam-pus ..Organizers of the sys-tem said they are well ontheir way to accomplishingall three goals.

Maloney said the datacenter established availabili-ty. and convenience. when itdecided to give allBSU stu- .dents free access to the sys-tem at any computer termi-nal on campus ..The third

involved in political issues."This is a kick in the right

direction and an interestingway to get involved inpolitics," he said.

Getting the funding for amulti-purpose classroombuilding is Adkins' main con-cern. The governor's pro-posed budget only provides$500,000for the planning ofthe building but no fundingfor it.

"We are so low on class-room space ... If we don't getit this year we are going tohave a big problem on ourhands," he said.

According to Adkins, aproposed tax increase in 1996

. could mean that BSU mightnot get the funding in theimmediate future.

Adkins, like many others,sees the problem of over-crowding at BSUas a seriousone. He said the seating

goal is expected to bereached next fall when stu-dents can hook up to thesystem from their homes. '

The system has some his-tory behind it. The organiz-ers of the program havenamed the server "Varney"after Varney Airlines, thefirst airmail service in theUnited States, located on thecurrent location of the BSUcampus before the universi-ty was .built iJ,l1932.

}I. ~

Response for the pro-gram, which cost $8-10,000to start, has been promising.Over 1,000people picked upapplications to get user IDsin the first week alone. Thesystem can handle all 15,000students at BSU.In addition,up to 120 lines will eventual-ly be accessible from off-campus when the system isat full capability.

One student who hasexperience in computer net-

work systems said the newsystem will make it easier totalk to friends around thecountry. .

"It would be nice for get-ting and sending e-mail, tokeep in touch with somepeople I know," junior ChrisBuckley said.

To sign up for a studentmail acount, students mustfill out a user ID form at theData Center, BusinessBuilding room 106.

capacity for classrooms islower than anywhere else inthe state by 40 percent, and itcan only get worse.

"BSU is not going to beable to handle the populationincrease if they don't getanother classroom. We are at100percent maximum capac-ity right now," he said.

Overcrowding could even-tually force BSUto keep stu-dents from entering the uni-versity,Adkins said.

"That's denial of their edu-cation," he said.

Other issues on Adkins'agenda include increasingfinancial aid. Adkins saidIdaho has one of the lowestfinancial aid funds, coveringonly about 1.5percent of-stu-dents' educational expenses,compared to 7 percent inother states.

"This increase [in financialaid] will help students have

more accessible education ata cheaper price," he said.

"They won't have to go towork as 'much, and they canfocus on their classes," hesaid.

Adkins works very closelywith JFACto pass legislation..Rep. Atwell Parry, chairmanof JFAC, said lobbyists arehelpful in getting legislationpassed, but a lot depends onthe way the lobbyist tries to

get th,ingsdone.::Those whoaren't overbearing are themost successful, he said.

"There are some lobbyistswho are very well-respected,and they serve a critical need.They get information and arevery helpful," Parry said. .

"I want to make sure peo-ple are aware of what isgoing on at BSU and try togive out.as much informationas I can," Adkins said.

NAFTAcould be a mixed bag for MexicoCorky HansenNews Editor

Editor's note: This is thesecond of a three-part seriestreating the effects ofNAFTA. Next week thedirect effect of the agreementon the BSU campus will betreated. The author translat-ed some of the news articlesand interviews from Spanishto English.

Proponents of the NorthAmerican Free TradeAgreement from all ofCanada, Mexico and theUnited States offered a'vivacious found ofapplause when the agree-ment became a reality.However, many worryabout the economic, .socialand cultural uncertaintybrought about by NAFTA.

The complicated treatythat will lift all barriers onforeign trade in NorthAmerica over a IS-yearperiod was clarified byinternational journalistWilliam A. Orme Jr. in anarticle published inForeign Affairs.

"NAFTA is both simpleand-from [a U.S.] stand-point-seemingly unobjec-tionable. Mexico agrees todo almost everything of an

control of the ability tomake their own decisions,"Jones said;, .

Angry voices were heardin Mexico because of thecompromises made by theMexican government at thebargaining table in order toreopen negotiations on adeal that had been closedfor about a year.

."With the hope. ofattracting more votes in the[U.S.] House ofRepresentatives. Mexicomade a number of compro- 'mises in key areas thatwere fundamental in' thefirst negotiations, compro-mises that Mexican media-tors had considered victo-ries of their bargainingability," said Carlos Puig ina Nov. 8 article publishedin the Mexican news maga-zine Proceso.

"The Mexicans had togive up more in [NAFTA]than the Americans did,"Jones said. But Mexico hadmore restrictions onAmerican goods than theU.S. had on Mexicangoods, he said. .

While the significance ofthe compromises made bythe Mexican government isdebatable, everyone agrees.that the changes broughtabout by NAFTA will

cause a certain amount ofdisruption.

"[N,AFTA] requiressome initial pain and dis-ruption-mostly inMexico, but also in vulner-able regions and' industries ,

. north of the border," Ormesaid in his article.

"In the long-run-froma purely economic point-of-view-it's generallyagreed that foreign tradeimproves everybody's cir-cumstances. From a socialpoint-of-view, the pain anddisruption is real, and cer-tainly needs to be 'addressed and consid-ered," said BSU marketingprofessor Gary McCain.' ., According to McCain,

the negative effects of theagreement will be easier, tosee than the positiveeffects.

"The fact that 10 millionpeople save $5 is not near-ly as visible as 100 [people]losing their jobs," he said.

"The winners are moreabstract."

"It [NAFTA] will proba-bly be a long way frombeing a suitable, adequateand just instrument to reg-ulate trade with the UnitedStates," said MexicanNational Action Partyleader Fauzi Hamden

Amado in November toThe Newsl a Mexico Citynewspaper.

Despite the grumbling,many Mexicans look toNAFTA as an economicalandpoltttcal Victory forMexico .

Nina Ray, a ~SU market-ing professor who was inMexico in November, saideveryone whom she inter-viewed was in favor of theagreement.

"Mexicans care, andthey're for it," Ray said.

But it is held by manthat the poorer classes wi!suffer at the expense of thrich in Mexico.

"Those who are going t, come out as losers are thpoor, who don't knowhat NAFTA is," said BSSpanish professor RosariBeagerie, who visited family in Mexico last month.

According to Beagerithe poor class is sufferinbecause Mexican PresideCarlos Salinas de Gortahas focused on makinMexico attractive to foreitrade and preparing forelevated level of commeat the expense of socialand education.

Program, TV boostaccess to degreeCorky HansenNews Editor

Beginning right now, the BSUSociology Department has some-thing that non-traditional studentsmight find attractive.

Letter-grade telecourses, as wellas a full program of upper-divisionsociologycourses, will aim at mak-ing a degree more attainable forstudents.

"Having that kind of flexibilityis real important," said NancyNess, director of ContinuingEducation Graduate /TelecommunicationsPrograms.

Introduction to Multi-EthnicStudies combines' a weekly lecturebroadcast on KAID-TV and an on-campus discussion group to pro-vide students with both the conve-nience of telecourses and the inter-action of on-campus learning.

Sociology DepartmentChairman Martin Scheffer said acomplete slate of courses toward aBachelor of Science or Bachelor ofArts in sociology will be imple-mented next fall.

According to Scheffer,the detailsof the program are still beingworked out, but the departmentwill make the program known tothe 600 students taking theIntroduction to Sociology coursethis semester. Those who continuetoward a degree in sociology maytake night or day classes.

"That's the key: to get the sched-ule out as soon as possible," hesaid.

But the number of students who

To Mexico, the agree-ment carries with it both,positive and negativepoints. .

"Mexico has a love-haterelationship with theUnited States," said ErrolJones, BSU HistoryDepartment chairman.. Jones said Mexicans wel-

come the commerce that theagreement will bring totheir economy, but balk atthe prospect of becomingsubservient to U.S.demands.

will work toward the degree withonly night classes is unknown.

"The question is, how many stu-dents are going to school strictly atnight," Scheffersaid.

According to Scheffer, thedepartment will commit to teach-ing the night courses next semester,regardless of the attraction of thenight program. Most students whotake day courses can alsomake it tocampus at night, but many stu-dents who take night courses workduring the day, he said.

"They just can't get away,"Scheffersaid.

Scheffersaid while the SociologyDepartment did not need a degreeattainable through strictly nightclassesany more than other depart-ments, research methods and com-puter technology courses could bebeneficial to students in manyfields.

"These are the types of skills Ifind that people out there mightfind useful," he said.

According to Scheffer, studentswill be able to complete the upper-division requirements in 3.5 years,taking three night classes eachSemester.

"That's right on the edge,"Scheffersaid.

Two other telecourses areoffered for letter grades.Elementary Spanish combines thebroadcast of Destinos., a languageenhancement series, with five on-campus sessions during the-semester. Child Psychology blendsthe series Time to Grow with fiveon-campus discussion sessions.

turing Dr. Edward White, a writinglecturer and author, will be present-ed to faculty.

Cooper added that the WritingCenter program also is a valuablewriting resource for students aswell as faculty. .

A new program at the WritingCenter is the "rhetoric coaches"service which currently providestutors for writing assignments inmath, nursing and history classes.

Although Cooper said she isvery happy with the way her pro-grams are developing, she said shewould like to see a few changes.She is hoping to eliminate what isoften a student's nightmare-thedreaded MCE. A pilot programinvolving a portfolio, in place of thetest, is under way. However, nodecision has been made yet on thefate of transfer students.

Cooper said another bonus to theprogram has been the addition ofthree new part-time instructor posi-tions in the English Department.

"There's an accreditation teamcoming soon and they will beassessing the program. But we'vehad very good support fromadministration," Cooper said.

Cooper said, she hopes studentsrealize how important writingskills can be; not only in theirEnglish classes, but in other classesas well.

"1 think it's real important forour freshman 101 and 102 studentsto dev~lopcritical thinking skills inall their classes," said Cooper .

As the new director of writing atBSU, Allene Cooper is exploringnew territory.

Although Cooper's Ph.D. is fair-ly new, she has had a vast amountof experience in doing what shesays she does best-teaching newwriters to learn the basics and totrust their instincts.

,A seven-year teaching veteran ofhigh school English, Cooper alsotaught college entry-level writingfor several years at Arizona StateUniversity. She later served asdirector of writing at ASU beforecoining to Boise.

"I came to Boise because it's areal good job and I thought thestate was beautiful," said Cooper."And I liked the idea that it wasgrowing."

Cooper says she has two respon-sibilities as writing director at BSU.She is responsible for the writingprogram for freshman English andWriting Across the Curriculum, aprogram that encourages instruc-tors from all areas of the universityto use writing in their classrooms.

According to Cooper, studentswho are required to write in theirclasses are often better students .:

"Students become more engagedin the subject and also learn how tobecome better writers," saidCooper.

Possible solutions rangedfrom increasing out-of-state

Every student who has fought to park oncampus knows the temptation: There they areright near the front entrance. I'll only be in fora few minutes. No one will come along. I'llnever find another spot. I'm not drivingaround again! I'll park in a Loading Zone!!

Before you find yourself in a similar situa-tion, consider the needs of those who are actu-ally loading or unloading something. Thosespaces are reserved for Central Receiving andother service vehicles. The people drivingthose vehicles have work to do that the entireuniversity depends on. By leaving thosespaces open for when they need them, youwill be doing all students, faculty and staff(including yourself) a favor.

Potpoum:

Books, bags,& loading zonesAt the start of every semester thousands of

us tramp into and out of The Bookstore.Oftenmore than once. And each time we carry ourpurchases in a Bookstore bag. Sometimesmore than one. .

That's a lot of bags. ,Here's a challenge to students, faculty, staff

and, of course, The Bookstore: Let's recyclethose thousands of bags and keep our text-book purchases, our very enlightenment,' frombeing part of the problem., A bit of forethought on the part" of cus-tomers can keep some of those blue andorange beauties out of the landfill. Don't

, , throwaway your first bag of the semester.Keep it for when you return for thoseexchanges, refunds and disappointing sell-backs. Or we might even think about bypass-.ing the landfill entirely by bringing our owncloth bags. Perhaps we might just say "nothanks'" and hand-carry our books outsideuntil we can tuck them into our backpacks.

But everything hinges on The Bookstore.It is obviously a less-than-sound business

practice to allow thousands of folks into one'sstore with preprinted shoplifting aids. But asimple strategy such as a drop box or reusebin could make all the environmental differ-ence.

Of course a little financial incentive couldnever hurt ...

In praise of Bill, Hillaryand health care reform

I'm going to do somethingthat a conservative doesn'toften do, and that's extendmy accolades to Bill and

, Hillary for their valiantefforts in submitting a pro-' ,posalto help solve the healthcare predicament in thiscountry, What they've done ispropose a socialistic idea in ademocratic nation ... my. ...what a courageous thing todo ... and they've been hailedas heroes for proposing suchan idea.

The Clinton Health Care Planpromises choices. Well, youwon't have much of a choice if your doctoror specialist isn't on the approved list ofdoctors, will you? Or rather, your walletwon't let you have much of a choice since itwill cost you significantly more to go to thatdoctor or specialist not on the approved list.

Doctors who choose not to enroll in thenational health plan will, eventually, bedriven out of business since you and twillno longer be able to afford to go to them;That kind of mentality goes directly againstthe free enterprise system. Sounds to melike businesses and choices will be put'directly under the thumb of the federal gov-ernment ... you can't tell me that that'sAmerican!

Throughout the course of this country'shistory, we have been on a crusade to "makethe world safe for democracy." The list oftimes when we've set out to stamp outCommunism and Socialism is endless.

We proclaim loudly to othernations how wrong it is to have

government wield so muchpower over its people, deny-ing individuality and freeenterprise, yet right in ourown backyard, we have aplan for a national health caresystem. (Something's wrong,with this picture, folks.)

What are we?? Are wesocialists or democratst?Perhaps before we tell othernations to adopt a free enter-prise system, we ought tolook at ourselves, decide who

. 'we 'really are and what reallyis important to us. If we're democrats, weneed to find other means of solving thehealth care predicament.

Today's mentality says that if you try tosolve a large problem (i.e. health care) fromthe top down, it will be fixed. Not so! It isnot possible to effectively take care of theproblem on a mass scale. Things must beworked out from smaller levels first. Oncethe smaller problems are effectively dealtwith, the entire picture will begin to comeinto focus; the huge problem will be on theroad to recovery.

Don't buy into this mentality that says aproblem as large as health care can be solvedby Federal Government mandates. With anattitude like this, the middle-class Americanwill be one with a lighter wallet. Reforms tohealth care in America must come from thebottom up, or problems will increase insteadof decrease.

Opinion

Seeing green at the center of our livesWhat are your earliest

memories of money?Recently, after informallypolling acquaintances, Iheard widely differingresponses to this question.People remembered bothexciting and disappointingexperiences. • .

Soine kids got regularallowances. Some didchores for money. Someacquired it by performingsex for grown-ups. Somerecall stealing it.

Their experiences withtheir money varied, too.Some children hoarded it,taking secret pride in theamount they accumulated.Others gleefully spent itimmediately on candy, orsaved up for toys they sawadvertised on TV. Someloaned it to their parents,never to see it again. Oneyoung man buried some inTupperware in his back-yard, digging numerous

holes in search of it, neverfinding it.

My own youthful expe-riences with money areprobably not unique. Irecall the shock, at aboutage five, of suddenly .grasping the significanceof those smaIl tokens ofaffection-eoins-whichgrandparents and othergrown-ups sometimeshanded me while pattingmy head. .

Those delightfullysmooth discs that parentsfreaked out about whenyou put them in yourmouth ("God knows whereit's been!")- those funnylooking things with sillypictures of birds, build-ings, eyeballs, occasionalbuffaloes and men withpony tails-those werewhat you traded to geteverything else in life!Whoa.

Soon, I began to ask

questionsthatannoyedadults. "Youmean,humanbeings can'tjust ask forwhat theyneed frompeople whohave plenty?Nothing'sfree? Somepeople havepockets full,while others work hard forlittle? Why is this fair?"

To this day, no one hasgiven me a satisfactoryanswer as to why theseinjustices are supposedlyacceptable.

Americans, apparently,, often feel quite ambivalentabout the subject of money.It's no surprise that mostof us would much ratherhave money than not-the

12-step programs, clubs,military service, supportgroups, discussion salonsand so forth. We attendchurch or seminars, search-ing for texts and rational-izations to assure ourselvesthat we can, indeed,acquire money withoutoppressing others.

But we experience avague apxiety.,We hide ourawareness that the onlysure thing between us anda dismal, lingering deathin a cruel old-folks "home"is money-because ourloved ones, with fewexceptions, by then will bebusy earning money fortheir own future survival.Tragic.

Oh, well. Money makesthe world go 'round! It'sthe American way! And,by golly, it's the best sys-tem there is!

The best-but forwhom?

more the better.But many ofus also rec-ognize thealienationandfavoritismthat capital-ism fosters.We long forthe kind ofcommunitythat isimpossiblewith mod-ern, capitalis-

tic, bureaucratic systems ofcontrol.

Some of us, in fact,never really reconcile our~selves to the conflict .between what our econom-ic system promotes and

, what our hearts tell us.We may try to create

Healing]onKnapp

. Culture Editor

Two traditional healers broughttheir magic to the Student Unionlast week. Their talks constitutedthe Community Scholars Seriesportion of the Martin Luther King,Jr./Human Rights Week celebra-tion.

Eva Castellanoz, a "curandera"or Mexican community folk healer, .spoke of traditional medicine.

"I am very happy and proudthat my parents kept our her-itage," she said.

Castellanoz gave prescriptions .for many common ailments,including using bay leaves for gas,nettle tea for nerves and weepingwillow and roses for migraines.

"I always like to add roses for-,beauty," she said.

She also said dill, mint androses cure morning sickness dur-ing pregnancy. "Believe me-I hadnine kids." _

These cures often cost less thana visit to a doctor. "They're cheap.Some of them are given to you bythe Lord," said Castellanoz.

Castellanoz spoke not only ofcures but of causes. She said welive in a society of people "notused to being loved," which leadsto many of our ills. To counterthat, she asked each audiencemember to "forget about yourself"and not neglect to care for otherpeople.

"Otherwise don't bother to cele-brate Martin Luther King [jr.]," shesaid.

Castellanoz also said faith isessential to her healing work, andthat anyone who comes to herwithout faith cannot be cured.

"The most powerful healingcomes from within; the rest [herbs,

About 40 students and a fewartists munched hors d'oeuvres,sipped punch and admired pho-tographs and paintings at theWomen, Culture and Art HumanRights Art Exhibit reception onMonday, Jan. 17 in the StudentUnion Gallery.

The show, sponsored by theStudent Activitiesofficeand an offi-cial part of the Martin Luther KingJr./Human Rights celebration, fea-tures five female artists who havechosen ethnic themes for theirwork.

Stacey Fletcher of. Student.Activities said they didn't originally

. intend to have all women in the.show..

"We couldn't find any maleartists," said Fletcher. She said shedidn't know why it turned out thatway, but when Student Activitiesofficials reflected that women sooften receive the same treatment asminorities, they decided to make ita part of the title.

"It seemed to fit," she said.Maria Thorne-Gladdeck, who

has three paintings hanging in theexhibit, attended the reception. Heroil paintings depict ordinary scenesfrom the lives of citizens ofundeveloped countries.

Thorne-Gladdeck said she oftenlikes to paint this kind of scene.

"I feel a kinship with these peo-ple. They don't know anythingabout our spoiled world. They areprobably perfectly satisfied. Allthey want is not to be disturbed.

They don't want all this stuff wehave," she said.

John Teel, a junior studyingmechanicalengineering, said he par-ticularly liked the photographs ofthe Fort Hall reservation by SandyMarostica.Many of the photographsdepict the mixture of modern andtraditional culture that exists on thereservation, including a man in fullceremonial dress chuggingMountain Dew and a Mormon mis-sionary scouting the grounds in asuit and tie.

"It shows the contrast of trying tohang on to [traditional culture] in the19905,"said Teel,who grew up nearFort Hall.

The exhibit, which also includespaintings by Jan Weston, AlmaGomez and Luann Lee, will runthrough Feb.4.

Latest CD by INXS grows on youRelease marks returnto sound of earlier days

Sean Lee BrandtStaffWriter

Is an excess of a good thingtoo much of a good thing? In thecase of INXS' latest audio assault,definitely not! Full Moon, Dirty

. Hearts is a welcome change fromsome of INXS' recent produc-

-. lions; a return to their earliersound, with Michael Hutchence'serotic crooning into the micro-phone coming out on top.

I remember the early days ofINXS. Albums like The Swing

'. and Shaboo Shoobah remain someof my favorites. I felt that theboys from down under had gonedownhill ever since Listen Like

and Garry Gary Beers blendsmodern technology with earliersounds in INXS'careers.

One of the band's greatest hitswas "Mediate," off of their Kick .CD. Part of the reason for themega success of that particulartune was the singsong style inwhich it was done. Hutchencetalked his way through the song,rather than singing. This style isrepeated in "Viking Juice," thefinal cut on Full Moon, DirtyHearts.

All in all, I thoroughlyenjoyed the new release. It is aperfect blend of the older soundsof the band, the sounds that cata-pulted them into fame, and new,experimental sounds that allowINXSto explore their artistic cre-ativity. Buy the CD, listen to itonce. If you don't like it, listen toit a few more times. It grows onyou. .

Thieves. I longed for the soundthat was so distinctly INXS:Well,boys and girls, that sound isback, and funkier than ever!

Fair warning, though. I didnot like this album the first timethat I listened to it, nosir, not onebit. But, I gave it a secondchance, then a third, and finallyfound that I couldn't stop listen-ing to it. It grows on you.

Songs like "Days of Rust,""Time" and "Cut Your RosesDown" stand. out on this releaselike gems in a pot of gold. Thestyle of Hutchence's lyrics, alongwith a potent mixture of the·musical talents of Tim, Jon andAndrew Farriss, Kirk Pengilly,

Local, national talent joinfor Womyn's group event

Material hasunlikely mix

"There are male lesbians.My dad said that he's one.That's how he had me. But mymom's in' denial," she saidduring her show.

Williams' presentation,turned good material into out-rageous comedy. Instead of a

. regular stand-up routine, shetold stories from her life andteased audience memberswhile she played with stageprops and decorations. Sheeven toyed with MorrisonCenter employees.. Following a standing ova- ,tion, she took pictures of the,audience to show her grand-kids.

Williams said after the showthat she would rather not beknown as a black or lesbiancomic. ,, "I just want to be known asfunny." Judging by the audi-ence's reaction, she will be.

Those interested inWomyn's CommunityProductions' upcoming eventsshould keep their eyes open.

"We try to bring in artiststhat won't be brought in anyother way," said Joan Dodd,one of WCP's core members.

Their next event, theWomen's Power Object Show,will come in March as part ofBSU's Women's HistoryMonth activities.

Imagine an arrangement of jazz with a lighthip-hoplike beat plus a splash of cong.as, s~-thesizers, saxophones and bass. Now imaginethis same combination on an album with aparental advisory sticker. ,, Does it sound impossible? Material, on the

little known Axiom label, proves that theunlikely mixture of these instruments is possi-ble with their new album, Hallucination Engine.

Recorded in the United States and India, this20-piece ensemble takes its influence frommany cultures and creates a euphoric pro~uc-tion that is nothing less than, well, hallucino-genic. The album opens with' light wind-likesounds, then suddenly the auditory picture isaccompanied by the tones of the saxophone. ,

"Black-Light" continues with the addition ofa few more unlike instruments, then slowlyfades into the next few songs. '

This,peacefulness is only interrupted with afew siren-like chants until halfway through thealbum when a gruff, elderly voice cleverlybegins to speak profanity in "Words ofAdvice.", This abrupt interruption is quickly forgotten

as "Cucumber Slumber (Pluxus Mix)" contin-ues the aura of peacefulness.

Material does not cater to radio. Because theaverage song is eight minutes, their songs canbecome monotonous and repetitious. But it isstill a spectacular album with a wide range ofstyles and instruments. It is a beautiful piece ofrelaxing music that would be a great additionto any world beat listener.

, Womyn's Community...Productions dazzled their first

sellout audience with a spec-tacular presentation of localmusic and nationallyrenowned comedy Saturday inthe Morrison Center.

Boise's female version ofSimon and Garfunkel, Rebecca 'Scott and Vicki Stagi, beganthe evening with a collectionof originalJlcoustic guitartunes. Scott's clear voice and

,rich guitar rhythms blendedbeautifully with Stagi's fancyguitar picking, violin playing,and back-up singing to pro-duce a level of quality that hasfew local peers. ,

Scott has played coffeeshops, including the StudentUnion's Brava concert series,and a few human rights bene-fits since she moved to Boisetwo years ago. Scott teamed tipwith Stagi in Boise.

"She's the band," said Scottin pronounced understate-ment. Stagi drew applausefrom the audience severaltimes during her elaborate gui-tar solos.

Scott, who writes most oftheir songs, said she often

\-;.-writes about "picking up, pieces after relationships."

Karen Williams

"It seems like a lot of artists, are affected by that one emo-

tion," Scott said about loveand its importance to hermusic.

Scott and Stagi left Sundaymorning to record their firstCD. Titled "Waving to theElephants," the CD should beout in late April.

Scott and Stagi would be atough act for anyone to follow,but comic Karen Williams metthe challenge beautifully.

Billed as "the funniestwoman on the comedy stagetoday," Williams kept the audi-ence laughing about every-thing from masturbation to"male lesbians."

The BSUwomen's basketball teamcontinued their dominance of the BigSky Conference last week in twoconvincing victories over EasternWashington and Idaho State.

The Broncos (14-2 overall 4-0 inthe Big Sky, No. 22 in the c~untry)opened their home conference seasonWednesday when they met EasternWashington in the Pavilion, knockingoff the Eagles in an 88-49 rout. OnSaturday BSUtraveled to Pocatello totake on Idaho State, walking awaywith a 67-44win.

The victories provided a warmupfor this weekend's showdown withMontana State and the No. 21Montana Grizzlies on Friday andSaturday this week. .

While the countdown continuestoward the clash of the two top 25teams, the wins last week were overtwo teams struggling in the Big Sky.'

In the Eastern Washington gaIl1,ethe two t~ams traded baskets early,before the Broncos took control to goup 46-20 at the haH. From there theynever looked back, cruising to anImpressive 88-49 final.

Michelle Shultz led the team inscoring with 17 points, while TriciaBader added 15 points, six assistsand four steals. Lidiya Varbanovacontributed 12 points and fiverebounds.

"I felt like we really could win thismatch," BSU head coach Mike Young

The two squads were fairly evenin scoring until the middle of thematch, when Oregon took control.

Friday's match against PortlandState was not close. At all.

The Broncos led from the verybeginning, winning four straightbefore the Vikings could get a win at

The win against the Vikings endeda three-match losing skid for theBroncos (2-4 overall,'O-3in Pac-10

"There's a couple of guys whoaren't in shape and that's killing us.It's costing them and it's costing theteam," Young said.

I'm not exactly surewhy the people whowork those displays areso cheerful. They mightbe getting a commission,although we've neveractually bought some-thing after sampling it(hey, honey, these raviolidoodles are good. Let'sget a bag of three hun-dred!). There are a fewthings to remember whileyou're idly grazing thatwill make your diningexperience hassle-free:

• When reaching forfive helpings at once, callout to your "family,"stating that you're pick-ing up enough for all ofthem,

• If the display workerbegins to catch on thatyou've eaten half the bag,wait a few minutes, gotry on a flannel shirt, andcome back with your hairparted on the oppositeside. They'll never catchon.

Bon appetit andremember, if you see mein Costco, make way. I'mhungry.

Todd Sholly is a colum-nist for The Arbiter, andhe is desperatelq hopingthat Costco managementwill waive his yearly mem-bership after all this freepublicity.

In last summer's "Bestof Boise" survey,Boiseans stated that theirfavorite restaurant wasthe Sizzler (in smaller,underdeveloped newspa-pers, that sentence wouldconstitute a humor col-umn .by itself). Afterrecently spending anevening there with mywife, I made an impor-tant discovery: there wasno "Wow, I Just Ate Nine

. Pounds of Shrimp" T-Shirt available at the endof my meal.

Although the Sizzlerexperience is one that meand my duodenum willnot 'soon forget, I have adifferent dining experi-ence to let you in on. Ihave stumbled upon alovely restaurant thatmay be just as good asanything that you'll findin Boise. I'm talkingabout, of course, Costco.

After logging count-less hours actually" shop-ping" there with my wifeChelsi, I always felt likeDamien Thorne inchurch: restless and look-ingfor the exit. Aftersome contemplation andobservation, I noticedthat many locals are mak-ing the best of a toughsituation. It's now possi-ble to do your shoppingand enjoy a lovelygourmet meal at thesame time. If Costcowould have been aroundwhen I was in highschool, I could havesaved at least two hun-dred dollars in meals. Ohsure, my prom datemight have felt a littleembarrassed at first, butafter 19 Cajun Style Mini-Burritos, who reallycares?
