slruclures at campU$es across thp countrycomparing prices and software design andtrying to find what fits the students at BSUHenderson says the group has also had stu-dent input from ASBSU President DavidMorriss and former ASBSU Sen RamlroCastro

Reigning in the cost and putting themoney where it should be will keep labfees down Henderson says Studentsshould have as much free printing as nec-essary to complete an average semesterhe says Henderson says some universitiescharge for every page printed while othersmay charge nothing at all Here at BSUhesays the group will try to stay on the high-er side of paper allocation as compared topeer universities thus affecting only thoseprinting excessively

Abusive printing says Henderson leadsto long lines and disgruntled studentsHenderson suggests that if students arelimited to a few hundred or so pages persemester students will think twice beforeprinting out a 750 legal document and forc-ing others to wait up to twenty minutesYouguys all pay a fee and here you arc un-

able to use a computer you paid for the uscofhe says of the cramped printing lines

Henderson says the new system will give each student an amount of printing credit

to be tracked on their student identificationcards The cost of each printing job wouldbe debited from the account with any print-ing beyond the given amount charged to thestudent Henderson says the printing pric-es will vary based on what the equipmentneeds of the specific jobs may be such ascolor ink legal paper and the like

Students will need to swipe their studentID at a print release station where printwork will be managed But Henderson saysthe program is not a tracking system andstudents will have privacy over what theyare printing

Henderson says that most likely the cred-it will not roll over from one semester tothe next He also says the issue is striking abalance with the equipment costs and stu-dents will not be able to cash in their creditfor other campus services Is the systemgoing to literally return dollars to the pock-ets of students No But it wiIl get studentsto stop and think

- Cindy Anson

A fee-based printing system may be test-ed in Boise State computer labs over springbreak and throughout the semester Whilestudents wont be charged per page yet thatmay change next fall

Stephen Henderson Manager of the BoiseState Office of Information Technologiescomputer labs says right now labs and stu-dents bear the costs of excessive printingand hed like to see that reworked

According to Henderson the Multipurpose lab recycle bins fill weekly with upto 40000 sheets of printed work left behindby students and others Money for this pa-per is derived from student fees which maybe augmented to account for the waste Thiscould hit students in the pocketbook

In the last two years a committee tenta-tively called the Fee Based Printing WorkGroup has looked to implement a flexiblefee system that will put an end to paperwaste and excess cost to those not abusingthe system Wewant zero impact to the av-erage student IIenderson says

WASHINGTON - Airline passengerswill have to ditch their lighters or losethem to airport security screeners whena new ban on lighters takes effect inApril

The ban reflects Congress fear thatlighters could be used to ignite bombson planes or otherwise damage or de-stroy them The Transportation SecurityAdministration until now had bannedall but butane lighters and said each pas-senger could carry no more than two

TSAs new ruling extends the ban to allbutane lighters effective April 14

Proponents of the ban including SenByron Dorgan D-ND cited the case ofconvicted shoe bomber Richard Reidwho tried but failed to light explosives inhis shoes with matches Had Reid beenusing a lighter he might have broughtdown the plane Dorgan said Reid wassentenced to life in prison In 2003

The butane lighter ban is expected tostreamline security procedures becausein the past screeners had to distinguishbetween butane lighters and types thatwere banned

The Department of -Transportationbans lighters in checked baggage so pas-sengers wanting to keep them have fewoptions aside from returning to theircars to stow lighters or handing them offto non-fliers

The US Postal Service considers light-ers to be hazardous material and will notmail them

CHICAGO - A newly discovered cacheof bones may shed light on one of themost ghoulish and enduring myster-

ies of the West whether members ofthe Donner party resorted to cannibalism during their snowbound months ofstarvation atop the Sierra Nevada moun-tains and if so how they carried out themacabre deed

Armed with the latest high-tech foren-sic tools scientists are poring over frag-ments of buttons mirrors and teacups hoping to develop the most detailed ac-counting yet of those final days the darkend to a grueling cross-country jour-ney that began In Springfield Ill In thespring of1846

The team of scientists and scholars drawn from universities across the Westsay their analysis will offer the first con-crete proof of what happened If can-nibalism took place they want to gaina clearer picture of who engaged in thetaboo practice as well as better explainwhy so many died

Scientists who hope to release theirfindings later this year will be 100ki1gfor evidence of other cooking activitiesbesides tea-making around the camp-fire

To establish cannibalism you look forthe three Bs burning breakage andbutchery said G Richard Scott an an-thropologist at the University of Nevadaat Reno and a member of the dig teamwhich includes archaeologists anthro-pologists and other specialists from ahalf-dozen universities

The burning is when the bone has beencharred to some extent The butchery iscut marks and marks and the breakageis where a heavy stone smashes openthe bone to get the marrow

Archaeologists also will be checkingfor a fourth b boiling which can be es-tablished by finding pot polish micro-scopic smoothness at the ends of bonescaused by rolling around in boiling wa-ter

This is a small hot springs ap-proximately 4 feet by 6 feet Thewater is chest deep when sittingon the bottom The water temper-ature is warm 95-100degrees

The spring sits on a private plotsurrounded by national forestlands and it drains directly intoGoose Creek Please be respect-ful and pack out any garbage youbring in and use no soaps or oth-er pollutants while in the spring

Goose Creek originates fromGoose Lake just a few miles tothe north a popular fishing andcamping destination But fewventure into the snow to view thefalls and herein lies the fun

The trailhead can be found justa few feet north of the parking lotThe approximate elevation atthetrailhead is 5800 ft The trail im-mediately heads north along thetop of the canyon offering briefglimpses of the creek from aboveIt then descends into the ravinefor about one mile At the end ofthat mile you will come to a bridgethat crosses the creek The eleva-tion at this point is approximately5000 ft After crossing the creekhead south keeping the canyonin view At approximately qnequarter of a mile the falls shouldbe visible

The falls are approximately 40feet high and 20 or 30 feet wideLucky adventurers could find thefalls in that beautiful and deli-

We believe in unity the con-nection between all functionsand organizations on campusCampus politics has reached acritical point Its time all stu-dents and organizations unite onthe issues they have in commonto achieve their goals It is timeto create a student governmentthat can have a standing relation-ship with the administration soadministrators can work withstudents to achieve our goals to-gether President Kustra and theadministration have great thingsin store for BSU We as studentsshould want our university to be abetter place The administrationis working on making our educa-tion worth more not only to usbut also to the working world

Howdoes nothavingto buyyourtextbooks fornext fall soundWiththe inauguration of a new ASBSUpresident comes the responsibil-Ity to handle a budget of over ahalf a million dollars Unlike thepromises made by many localstate and national politicians itIs easy for us as fellow studentstokeepours Following our elec-tion two copies of every textbookrequired by every instructor forevery class will be purchasedand placed on reserve for use InAlbertson Library This allowsstudents who otherwise -can-not afford to buy their books theopportunity to use them free ofcharge

We are first and foremost stu-dents for the betterment of stu-dents

During such turbulent times atASBSUit is necessary for quali-fied and unbiased leaders toemerge take the reins and steerstudent government in the rightdirection Both the current Senateand executive branches of ASBSUhave made questionable politicalpractices When a student Senate

passes a bill to purchase togasfor a football game or a float for ahomecoming parade-how doesthis show an interest In the bet-terment of the students they rep-resent Should any of these Indi-viduals be elected to a positionof more power Would you votefor an individual who gave them-selves a raise-money that couldbe used to fund a 24-hour com-puterlab

The current ASBSU has donenext to nothing to lobby the statelegislature regarding studentfeestuition The student Senateshould have sent delegates tospeak with our legislators andconvince them to better fundhigher education for the studentsof Boise State University Itis not afar walk from campus to the statehouse

Current ASBSU presidentialcandidates have expressed theirdislike In student fee increas-es-more particularly a fee thatwould expand the Student UnionBuilding What these candi-dates and others must realize isthat student fees are necessary

to Improve our campus Fees arenot the enemy-the lack of statefunding is

Upon our election every pos-sible step will be made to ensurethat current legislators demon-strate their approval to better fundhigher education We will launcha massive campaign to collectthousands of signatures of regis-tered voters who are students andconcerned Idaho citizens on a pe-tition The signatures will then besent to every legislator and cam-paigns to embarrass and censurelegislators who do not palpablyindicate higher education supportwill ensue Individuals should notbe dropping out of school becausethey cannot afford to pay for theireducation

BSU students need to havethe burden of the costs of booksameliorated BSU students needto have a 24-hour computer Jabopen BSU students need to payless for their education and BSUstudents need to have their needsheard These can all be met withyour support in the form of a voteon broncoweb on March 9 and 10

Best Oprah shoutout JamieFoxx During his Best Actor ac-ceptance speech he said he want-ed to talk to her and Halle Berryafter the show What a cad

Worst Oprah shoutout hostChris Rock He joked about howrich she is and she looked lessthan impressed ~

Sa anyway if you cant tell Iwasnt all that impressed with theAcademy Awards this year Withall the stars floating around and -goofing off on camera I felt sortof like I was watching OceansEleven but it wasnt as funny andthe music sucked Theres alwaysnext year Iguess Let me make mypredictions now- Best Directorgoes to anyone other than MartinScorcese (He just keeps gettingrobbed) And In a surprising newcategory Best column writtenabout the Oscars goes tome Forwhat you just read

r

I watched the Academy AwardsSunday night and I just wouldntbe myself if I didnt have somecomments In fact what I thinkIll do is hand out my own awardsthat should have been givenaway but werent And so with-out any further ado I giveyou theSoAnyOscar winners

To start off the evening myBest_award-introduction-while-under_the-influence-of-either-drugs-or-alcohol goes to thevenerable Al Pacino Im not surewhat he was on but I want some

Best_creepy-appearance-by-an-80s-pop-star I give to Princehands down Im uncertain howhe worked an invitation to thegala but he looked oddly uncom-fortable on the stage Also helooked scarily like a circus beard-ed lady except of course that hehad no beard

Best_walking-public-service-announcementcfor-not-taking-drugs_in_your-teenage-yearsgoes to Sean Penn He was run-ner-up for the SoAnyOscar thatPacino takes home but Im notsure Penn was stoned think hesjust out there

Best_acknowledgement-of-flubbing-a-line goes to SamuelL Jackson He actually laughedout loud (yeah thats LOLto younet junkies) after fumgling hiswords Everyone else pretendedlike theirs didnt happen

Conversely Salma Hayek getsthe Best-unacknowledged-flub-of-the-night She actually an-nounced that someone was thefirst ever nominated BYan OscarThis award sort of loses its lusterwhen its coupled with the factthat English is her second lan-guage

Howdoes nothavingto buyyourtextbooks fornext fall soundWiththe inauguration of a new ASBSUpresident comes the responsibil-Ity to handle a budget of over ahalf a million dollars Unlike thepromises made by many localstate and national politicians itIs easy for us as fellow studentstokeepours Following our elec-tion two copies of every textbookrequired by every instructor forevery class will be purchasedand placed on reserve for use InAlbertson Library This allowsstudents who otherwise -can-not afford to buy their books theopportunity to use them free ofcharge

We are first and foremost stu-dents for the betterment of stu-dents

During such turbulent times atASBSUit is necessary for quali-fied and unbiased leaders toemerge take the reins and steerstudent government in the rightdirection Both the current Senateand executive branches of ASBSUhave made questionable politicalpractices When a student Senate

passes a bill to purchase togasfor a football game or a float for ahomecoming parade-how doesthis show an interest In the bet-terment of the students they rep-resent Should any of these Indi-viduals be elected to a positionof more power Would you votefor an individual who gave them-selves a raise-money that couldbe used to fund a 24-hour com-puterlab

The current ASBSU has donenext to nothing to lobby the statelegislature regarding studentfeestuition The student Senateshould have sent delegates tospeak with our legislators andconvince them to better fundhigher education for the studentsof Boise State University Itis not afar walk from campus to the statehouse

Current ASBSU presidentialcandidates have expressed theirdislike In student fee increas-es-more particularly a fee thatwould expand the Student UnionBuilding What these candi-dates and others must realize isthat student fees are necessary

to Improve our campus Fees arenot the enemy-the lack of statefunding is

Upon our election every pos-sible step will be made to ensurethat current legislators demon-strate their approval to better fundhigher education We will launcha massive campaign to collectthousands of signatures of regis-tered voters who are students andconcerned Idaho citizens on a pe-tition The signatures will then besent to every legislator and cam-paigns to embarrass and censurelegislators who do not palpablyindicate higher education supportwill ensue Individuals should notbe dropping out of school becausethey cannot afford to pay for theireducation

BSU students need to havethe burden of the costs of booksameliorated BSU students needto have a 24-hour computer Jabopen BSU students need to payless for their education and BSUstudents need to have their needsheard These can all be met withyour support in the form of a voteon broncoweb on March 9 and 10

Tammy Carrs slam poetry lastThursday was a nice change ofpace from the standard solo mu-sical performance that studentshave come to expect from theCoffeeHouse Concert Series inthe Student Union Building Buttonight its back to musical styl-ings as Rochelle Smith steps upto the plate

Carr brought interesting andthoroughly personal subject mat-ter to the microphone during herforty-five minute poetry set Shespoke of ridding herself of a boy-friend as an immediate source ofweight loss and how people jokethat as a slam poet she is obvi-ously a wannabe rapper She re-lated her story of contemplatingabortion then deciding to havethe child

Her poetry was passionate andmostly stuck to subject mattersurrounding troubles but didtake moments to dip into humorOverall she interacted very wellwith the audience On a side notea lot of her material comes fromspeaking with audience mem-bers after the show hearing theirproblems then incorporatingthem into future poems So if youwere there maybe youll develop

into her spoken lyrics one dayTonights show brings talented

Brancosottlne middotroadtofinish regular season

BY TREUOR HORNSporls Edllor

ON THE BRSQUE BLOCK612 Grove Street

For a team with just two roadwins in 11 games this seasonheading to play the final homegame of the season against thesecond best team in the confer-ence UTEP (23-7 overall 14-4Western Athletic Conference)is trying their darndest to fightfor an at-large bid in the NCAATournament it doesnt iook toopromising for the Boise Statemens basketball team Saturdaynight

The Broncos are coming off atough home game versus one ofthe most unbelievable individ-ual performances last SundayLa Techs super sophomore PaulMillsap scored 29 points andgrabbed a WAC season-high 25rebounds but the Broncos usedan all-around team game to beatthe Bulldogs on season day

UTEP has won three straightand is a tough cookie to play

against especially in their ownhouse The 15-2 record at homeand 7-1 home record during WACplay will attest to that

Its up to Boise State to managethe tempo early If they can runup and down take (and make)quality shots there is always achance to play strong against agreat Miners team

UTEP leads the conference inscoring at 743 points per gameand is second in scoring defensewhich amounts to the highestscoring margin in the WAC

Regardless if it is Eric Laneor Coby Karl playing the pointSaturday night they will havetheir hands full UTEP seniorpoint guard Filiberto Rivera leadsthe WAC in assists with 715 pergame and can connect from long-range averaging 129 points pergame

Jason Ellis and Tez Banks willneed to stay out of foul troublealso Omar Thomas the big mandown low for the Miners is aver-aging 201 points per game and65 boards for UTEP

Despite the fact that the Minershave the second seed in the con-ference tournament all lockedup there is little doubt that they

will play anything othe than fullspeed against Boise State Nevadahas all but showed up a bid intothe Big Dance so UTEP knowsthey must keep winning in orderfor the college basketball postsea-son gods see them as doable teamfor the tournament

That being said what betterway to end the regular season forthe Broncos then to stir the pota bit with an upset win over anNCAA tournament quality teamon the road

With that said this is the 2004-05 Boise State mens basketballteam The same one that can looklike they can hang with the bigboys for one half against Nevadaonly to look like they are a bottom-dwelling team just 20 minuteslater

Only time can tell if the Broncoshave matured enough to take aquality win at home and turn itinto a positive on the road

The Broncos are currently ineight place in the conference

They can move into sole posses-sion of seventh place with a winand two Hawaii losses If the twoteams finish in a tie the Broncoshave the tiebreaker if they beatthe Miners Boise State will notfinish the regular season anyhigher than seventh and cannotslip into the top tenth

Full bracket coverage of theWAC tournament will be inMondays edition of The Arbiterand an on-line recap of the BoiseState gaines will be available
