The psychology department willacquire courses in int,erpersonal andsmall group organizational communica-tion, complementing its studies in conflict,resolution and persuasion.

The department will be renamed theDepartment of Psychology andCommunication Studies and acquire twocurrent communicat,ion faculty membersto fulfill the new dossier of courses.

"I'm concerned with st.udents misun-derstanding," said Mare Skinner, assis-tant to the director of the School of

Communication. Skinner said all stu-dents enrolled with the School ofCommunication will be accommodated tocomplete their educations,

New student,s to the school will have tolook under a new catalog for t,he depart-ment containing their respective majors.

Other changes include the photogra-phy, digital imaging, Web design andcommunication graphics courses movingto the Department of Art and Design andfilm courses moving to the Department ofTheater and Film. Journalism, publicrelat,ions and TV/radio broadcastingcourses will be cont,ained in a new Schoolof Journalism and Mass Media.

"(Restructuring) gives CommunicationStudies independence, (and students can)concentrate on journalism and massmedia," Reardon said.

Reardon also said the restructuringshould be made of'ficial in summer or fall2003, if the Board of Education approvesthe proposal.

He said the Department of Psychologyand Communication Studies is looking toacquire 40-80 students over the next; twoto three years to the CommunicationStudies program.

"I'm happy to help," said Skinner,adding that he hopes no students changemajors due to the restructuring.

tudents interested in some School ofCommunication courses may have tolook to other departments if the

planned restructuring of the school isinstituted next semester.

The University of Idaho is in the finalstage of a restructuring process, awaitingthe go-ahead from the State Board ofEducation. The proposal has alreadypassed with Faculty Council and ViceProvost office approval.

T he UI AmnestyInternational Chapter wel-comed a panel of speakers

in a press conference Tuesdaymorning to support a bill callingfor a two-year suspension of thedeath penalty

The bill Idaho House Bill No122, does not abolish capital pun-ishment in Idaho but providesfor its suspension.

During the suspension aDeath Penalty Commissionwould be assembled to look overthe various aspects of the caseand reconsider the choice of cap-ital punishment.

The panel of speakers at thepress confer-ence includ-

premeditatedkilling of a human being in thename of justice," Palmieri said.

Amnesty International, anorganization devoted to humanrights, has accused the deathpenalty of being seriously flawed,discriminatory against race andarbitrarily carried out.

The organization also arguesthat most death row inmates aretoo poor to afford adequatedefense, making them more like-ly to be issued a death sentence.

University of Idaho family lawprofessor Elizabeth Brandt, aboard member of the AmericanCivil Liberties Union, spoke onbehalf of the ACLU. She citednumerous cases where victims ofthe death penalty were laterfound innocent due to eitherDNA testing or appeal trials.

Brandt used the example ofCharles Fain, an Idaho deathrow inmate who was released in2001 after spending 18 years insolitary confinement before hewas found innocent throughDNA testing.

In reference to innocent peo-ple such as Fain, Brandtdeclared the death penalty "hardto conceive in a civilized society."

Brandt also pointed out thatalthough a decision by theSupreme Court found it uncon-stitutional to charge a mentallyretarded criminal with a deathpenalty sentence, since 1976there have been 44 executions ofmentally retarded people andthere is one currently on deathrow in Idaho.

Since the reinstatement of thedeath penalty in Idaho in 1976,there have been 38 people sen-tenced to death row and only oneexecution. Two men were foundinnocent and three were given anew trial. There are currently 18inmates on death row in Idaho.

In her argument for HouseBill No. 122 Brandt said,"it does-n't even suspend any sentencesthat have yet been imposed, all itsays is that for this two-yearperiod we won't execute anybody.We'l think about it, and we'l letthem live, so that we can re-eval-uate whether this is the policythat as a state and a nation wewant to pursue.

UI sociology professor EricJensen criticized the idea thatthe death penalty in Idaho actsas a deterrent to prevent othersfrom committing capital punish-ment crimes, and has founddeath penalty cases to have theopposite effect.

"Immediately after well-publi-cized executions, homicides inthose jurisdictions increase,"Jensen said.

Jensen also confirmed race asa deciding factor in capital pun-ishment cases and spoke of stud-ies in Georgia where sociologistsfound that in cases where thedefendant is African American, adeath penalty sentence is 4.3times more likely than in the

Celebrate Your Body Day teaches

students the importance ofself respect

UY Jnxr Hs YRAHYxl(l(()no('T eTArr

I students gathered Thursday to celebrate theimportance of positive self-image through a seriesof events called Celebrate Your Body Day.

Celebrate Your Body Day events included scale smash-ing, ad shredding and the signing of the Declaration ofIndependence from a Weight-Obsessed World. The eventsare part of a collaborative effort on behalf of different stu-dent and university groups to get the message out thatnot appreciating oneself can lead to self-destructivebehaviors.

This was not the first year the university has endorsedthe events, but the first year it has taken this form. Forthe last few years, the Counseling and Testing Centerhad an eating disorders screening around the same date.Students were not, as compelled to come to the eating dis-orders screening.

More fun and informative events were added, studentcounselor Sharon Fritz said, to put a "positive spin on theevents."

But Celebrate Your Body Day is well beyond thescreening of years past. Fritz got together with IrmaBurda, a dietician from Student Benefits, Health andWellness, as well as Emily Sly and Lori VanBuggenum,students who represent the Feminist Led ActivistMovement, to Empower and the Body Image Task Force,respectively.

Together they created the Celebrate Your Body Day,and with input from different people around campus, aswell as donations, they put the idea into effect.

One of the highlights of the day was the scale smash-ing and ad shredding. Burda said the purpose of theadvertisement shredding was to reject the idea of "theseperfect images they'e trying to sell" —images that giveyoung people, especially women, contorted ideas of theideal shape of a person.

The scale smashing was literal: students took sledge-hammers and bore down on weight scales, showing theirrejection of weight-based social norms.

UI student Miriam Cody said she felt empowered bythe event. "I think the scale got what it deserved. I had togo back for a second swing."

Another event Thursday was the signing of theDeclaration of Independence from a Weight-ObsessedWorld. Several people were invited to sign the declara-tion, including UI President Bob Hoover's wife, JeanneHoover, but she had a schedule conflict; and was unable toattend. The declaration is still going to be presented toher at, a later date.

Fritz and Burda also offer assistance in providingodyon-

RYAN SMITH / ARGONAUTA banner adverfising the LIGITel Hampton Jazz Festival hangs over Main Street in Moscow, EverY year thefosfjvGI gives IIIe local economy a boost as more than 22,000 people descend uPon Moscow from all

over the country.

D uring the Lionel Hampton JazzFestival, thousands of people visitthe Palouse.

Last year, a study released by the UICollege of Business and Economics saidthe festival brings about $3.8 million tothe local economy. It is also expected tobring 4,000-5,000 people and 18,000 stu-dent competitors from around the coun-try.

This year could be a record. LynnSkinner, executive director of the festival,said he expects the attendance to be high-er then it has ever been.

Despite the multitude of musicians intown during the festival, the music shopsare not the hardest hit. Vic Hudak ofGuitar Friends said there is a large influxof people and while traffic is high, theimpact is probably felt more by restau-rants and hotels around the area.

"It's not a really huge, drastic impact,but it's certainly fun," Hudak said.

Both Paradise Ridge Records andKeeney Bros. also see an increase in sales,but not on a large scale. Chris Sampson ofKeeney Bros. said they used to set up adisplay at the festival, but were losingmoney every year.

Then the university started to chargerent. They set up a display at the Palouse

essary due to the bottles and projectiles thrown on the field during last week's foot-

ball game with Boise State."Bota bags, thermoses and plastic containers for refreshments will still be all

right," Mitchell said. "But we want to stop bottles and cans, which are dangerouswhen thrown."

"I needed the environmentprovided by Student SupportSevices," Huskinson said.

With the help of programslike TRIO, Huskinson believesshe is not only an example to herfamily, but also an asset to hercommunity through education.

Huskinson declared herself "aproduct of the program's suc-cess."

UI faculty receiving awardsfor supporting TRIO programsincluded Jerome Fischer of theDivision ofAdult, Counselor, andTechnology Education and NickNatale of the ChemistryDepartment.

Receiving a special awardwas TRIO alumnus Juan DeLeon, who is currently seekinghis doctorate in education andhas already earned degrees inzoology, secondary educationand technology education at UI.

TRIO was originally formedin 1968, after the signing of theHigher Education Act, and ini-tially received funding of$69,000 a year. Today TRIO pro-grams receive about $230,000annually.

There are currently eight pro-grams at UI, including UpwardBound, Student SupportServices, Northwest NationsUpward Bound, Upward BoundMath/Science, EducationalTalent Search, TRIO Trainingand the recently added IdahoEducational Opportunity Centerand Northwest NationsEducational OpportunityCenter.

Isabel Bond, director of TRIOprograms since 1974, stressesthe importance of recognition forprograms such as TRIO, makinghigher education accessible tostudents who are disabled orcannot afford to go to school.

Although President GeorgeW. Bush has not released hiscurrent budget for federal pro-,grams such as TRIO, Bond isconfident of the program's

students and supporters cele-brated the program's success atthe University of Idaho througha National TRIO Day celebra-tion Tuesday in the IdahoCommons.

Student Support Serviceshosted the event, which includedspeakers and an awards ceremo-ny.

TRIO is a federally fundedprogram aiding first-generationstudents —those whose parentsdid not go to college. Low-incomestudents and students with dis-abilities are also included in theprogram's criteria.

In a formal ceremony, speakerRaul Sanchez, special assistantto the president for diversity andhuman rights, addressed thecrowd of students and faculty,urging them to support pro-grams such as TRIO.

"It's all about access,"Sanchez said, referring to thenumerous obstacles studentsface in the education process,such as financial aid and learn-ing disabilities.

San chez pointed out thatmany UI students would not beable to attend school without thesupport of programs such asStudent Support Services, whichis provided by TRIO,

"These are programs we knowwork," Sanchez said in referenceto the program's high successrate at the university.

UI senior Carrie Huskinsonwas presented with StudentSupport Service's OutstandingSenior Award. Huskinson willgraduate in May with a degreein public education and anemphasis in law.

The University of Idaho budgetcrisis is providing a new home forthe Student Counseling andTesting Center.

The Counseling and TestingCenter was previously located inthe University Classroom Center,Room 309. However, the UCCremains closed due to a lack offunding that has postponed reno-vations slated to remove asbestosand repair the leaking roof.

As of Jan. 29, the Counselingand Testing Center is now locatedin the Continuing EducationBuilding, Room 306.

Interim Director Joan Pulakosendorses the new location. "It ismuch lighter, friendlier and com-fortable," she said. "It has betterprivacy and feels more confiden-tial. And it is bigger, so we canprovide more services."

The center offers personal,relationship and career counsel-ing. Group presentations andworkshops are available. It sup-plies crisis intervention, consulta-tion, outreach and referral servic-es.

It administers such nationaltests as the ACT, SAT, Compassand GRE (Graduate RecordsExam) and provides career, psy-chological and learning disabilitytesting.

The center also offers a self-help resource room for studentswith questions on topics rangingfrom depression to test anxiety.Biofeedback, a technique thatreduces anxiety and stress-relat-ed physical complaints, is avail-able.

In addition, the center supplieshigh-intensity lights used in lighttherapy by students sufferingfrom seasonal depression.

Most of the students Pulakossees come to the center seekinghelp for stress, depression, anxi-ety, or relationship issues."Generally, we might have a cou-ple hundred each week," she said.

Since moving to the new loca-tion, numbers have not changed."It's a little more of a challenge,because we aren't as centrallylocated," Pulakos said. "But in myexperience, students are still find-ing us."

The center also hosts three freescreenings each year, one fordepression in the fall, and oneeach for eating disorders and alco-hol use in the spring. These takeplace at an information booth inthe Idaho Commons and last lessthan 15 minutes, Each screeninginvolves a written assessmentthat asks students questionsabout specific aspects of theirlifestyles.

"It helps us get a sense of whatkind of problem they might havein that area," said Outreach coor-dinator Sharon Fritz, "Then wecan suggest what might be done."

The center also provides refer-rals to other resources,Screenings are available for livinggi'oups.

Right now, Gatlin said thereare only about three roomsbooked out, of 36. He said thesuccess of WSU's football teamhas helped business.

Many of the competitors willnot have the opportunity tostay in one of these places,though. Most will probably bestaying in one of the manygymnasiums around town.

Both the Moscow HighSchool and Moscow JuniorHigh School have lent theirgymnasiums out to people thatneed a place to stay, Shumwaysaid. In addition to the schools,many churches are lending ahelping hand, if they have anyextra rooms, by providing themfor the competitors to stay in.

Other options for people tostay during the Jazz Festivalare bed and breakfasts. TheParadise Ridge Bed andBreakfast, which is run bySolveig Miller has been in busi-ness for more than eight years.The Bed and Breakfast, whichis just outside of town, filled itslast reservations about threemonths ago, Miller said.

A unique option, which hasbeen going strong for 15 years,is BedFinders. 'The idea issomewhat like a bed and break-fast, but less formal. It is agroup of people in the Moscow-Pullman area who have a sparebedroom and can rent it out forthe night.

Oddly, BedFinders does notreceive very much businessfrom the Jazz Festival. Most oftheir business comes duringWashington State University

Every year thousands of peo-ple swarm the little town ofMoscow. Why? One reason-The Lionel Hampton JazzFestival.

The Jazz Festival managesto create mass chaos in thehotels and outlying towns asvisitors and competitorsattempt to get a roof over theirhead for just a few nights-Feb. 19-22. Those preciousnights mean everything to thepeople that come here to com-pete,

They also mean everythingto the managers of the manyhotels, motels and the otherestablishments that house the18,000 competitors from 320different schools, said JanShumway, a Jazz Festival vol-unteer.

Most hotels and motelsacross the Palouse are bookedone year in advance. Thisincludes such places as theUniversity Inn and the newHampton Inn, which wasbooked full before it evenopened, said Meghan Ferrin, areceptionist there.

The Hampton Inn also maybe considering a contract withthe University of Idaho forfuture Jazz Festivals, for manyyears in the future, Ferrin said.However, it is yet undecided.

No agreement on Al

Qaeda links with Iraq Editor i Jennifer Hathaway Phone i 885-7705 E-mail i arg opinion@sub.uidaho.edu On the Web i www.argonaut.uidaho.edu/currerlt/opinionindex.himl

Dear editor,Even though President Bush

once claimed that Al Qaeda wascommitting its terrorist acts onbehalf of Saddam Hussein, there isno evidence linking any Iraqiagents or money to the 9/11attacks, or those in Tanzania,

Kenya, Bali, Jordan or Aden.Therefore, most experts were

surprised that Colin Powell wentahead with his claim that there aredefinite links between Osama andSaddam, Powell focused on a Mr,

Zarqawi, a known terrorist whostarted his career in Afghanistan,fighting the Soviets, as did binLaden, with the full support fromthe CIA,

Zarqawi was in Baghdad in

2001 for medical care, but there isno direct evidence that he madeany arrangements with the Iraqigovernment for money orweapons. He is definitely linked

with the murder of Laurence Foley,an American diplomat in Jordan,Oct. 28, but again no Iraqi connec-tion has been proved.

The normally cautious Powellwent ahead with his charges eventhough one FBI source admittedthat "We'e been looking at this[Zarqawi link] for more than a yearand you know what, we just don'

think it's there" according to theFeb. 1 edition of the New YorkTimes, One other U,S. source wasvery disturbed about the adminis-tration "politicizing" its intelligence,

Before his meeting with

President Bush, Tony Blair said hecould prove no link betweenOsama and Saddam. German

police have been following Zarqawiand his operatives for more than ayear and found no connection, and

Magnus Ranstorp, a terrorismexpert at the University of St.Andrews, is very skeptical of theclaim of an Al Qaeda cell operatingin Iraq, according to the Feb. 10edition of the New York Times.

In 1964 Lyndon Johnson start-ed the bombing of North Vietnam

because he told the American peo-ple that the North Vietnamese wereattacking our ships. We now know

that just the opposite was true,Why should we trust Bush, who ishell-bent on war with Saddam, andwho has now been shown to havedistorted the facts?

Political re-education at

UI

Dear editor,Larry Branen, dean of the

College of Agriculture and Life

Sciences at the University ofIdaho, displays deplorable

accountability in the wrongful ter-

mination of Roger and Anita Falen

as volunteer 4-H leaders in Latah

County.On Dec. 14, 2002, Branen told

Rep. Tom Trail that the Falen casewas a poorly-handled mess. Even

though Branen approved firing the

Falens, he does not accept full

accountability for the results.The acting director of the Idaho

Cooperative Extension System,with Branen's approval, now givesDr. Arlinda Nauman, State 4-H

Leader, an offer she can hardly

refuse. She can participate in a

program of political re-education

or face highly uncertain careerprospects,

What was Dr. Nauman's

crime? She opposed Dean

Branen's firing of the Falens. Shealso asked the Joint Finance

Appropriations Committee, Idaho

Legislature, to give her whistle-

blower protection against retribu-

tion from Ul. Dr, Nauman now

begins therapeutic counseling ses-sions with Dr, Tom Trotter, Ul

ombudsman.Dean Branen is among the 10

highest paid public employees in

Idaho. There are about 7,000 4-H

volunteer leaders and 26,000 4-H

members in Idaho. What kind of amessage is the University of Idaho

sending to them?

C ongress passed the Higher EducationAct in 1998, which created the omi-nous question 35 on the Free

Application for Federal Student Aid.It asks, "Have you ever been convicted of

possessing or selling illegal drugs? If youhave, answer Yes,'omplete and submitthis application, and we will send you aworksheet in the mail to determine if yourconviction affects your eligibility."

Students who respond "yes" still have achance ta get financial aid, even though itisn't indicated clearly anywhere on theFAFSA. Students convicted of possession ofillegal drugs are ineligible for financial aidfor only one year.

Three counts of drug possession or twocounts of sale of illegal drugs make a stu-dent ineligible, indefinitely.

Many students have the impression thatanswering "yes" to question 35 automati-cally renders them ineligible. This is nottrue. Anyone with a drug conviction canundergo a drug rehabilitation program thatwill allow them to receive financial aidimmediately after completion of the pro-gram.

The Department of Education must do abetter job of explaining the consequences ofanswering "yes" or "no" to this question.Convicted drug offenders may answer "yes"and still receive financial aid.

Students who have a drug convictionand answer "noM may or may not receiveaid. Calls to FAFSA's help line, 1-800-433-3243, ta inquire about lying on question 35reveals mixed results; one representativesaid giving false information is illegal, andanother said it would be only a weight onthe student's conscience.

Aid is often given in spite of prior con-victions. At one point in the 2001-2002school year, 34,749 students said they hada drug conviction. More than 17,000 stu-dents were still awarded financial aid,according ta the Web site of Students forSensible Drug Policy.

The other students were denied aid. Forthe 2001-2002 school year, an additional10,954 students did not answer the ques-tion, and thus did not receive aid.

During the Clinton administration, stu-dents who did not answer the questionwere awarded financial aid.

Question 35 turns financial aid into acrapshoot.

The best thing to do is to fill aut theFAFSA and see what happens. If yau havea drug conviction, go ta Student FinancialAid in the SUB, and ask for advice.

If yau have a recent drug conviction, yaushould get into a state-sponsored rehabprogram, pass twa unannounced drugtests, and submit a FAFSA to get a new eli-gibility date. A drug conviction doesn't haveto prevent you from receiving governmentmoney.

Black History Month acelebration for all

lt I..H'I I i' t H I Il M I .I.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (U-WIRE)—We'e only halfway through Black

History Month and already grum-

bles can be heard around campus:eWhy do we have a whole month

set aside for African-American his-

tory? Why don't we have a white

history month?"It's an argument that has come

to be expected with each Black

History Month. But just becauseit's common doesn't mean it

should go unaddressed.The simple answer is, of

course, that practically every gen-eral history class taken byUniversity of Kentucky studentsfocuses on white, European histo-

ry. And every literature class, and

every humanities class and soforth, Black History Month was ini-

tiated because of the dearth ofAfrican-American topics taught in

regular classes. All that anyoneever learned about AfricanAmericans was that they were

shipped over as slaves.It's true that American culture

is becoming more aware of thelack of diversity in our scholasticendeavors. More and more profes-sors are integrating African-

American achievements and influ-

ence into material that used to bedominated by "white" history. This

can only enrich the quality of edu-

cation students receive.But our country is not so far

along that we can simply drop a

special month of recognition forblack history. Remember, only 40years ago, UK had segregated dor-mitories and sports teams. Thewonderful events highlighted

throughout this month demonstratethat there's still much more every-one can learn about African-

American culture.Instead of complaining about

the month, people should make dn

effort to participate in it. Go to alecture; hear a concert; watch a

screening of a movie. Re-evaluatethe history that has been taughtwith the new information gleanedfrom these experiences.

Black History Month isn't justfor African Americans. It's every-body's history month.

Military has good advice

for president on diversity

IyltTHiiIT I!Itett I'HHHH

(KRT) —It may be a situation

in which the federal government issending out rather mixed signalson affirmative action, or one ofthose left hand-right hand things

that bedevil huge institutions.

But shortly after the Bushadministration filed Supreme Courtbriefs opposing aflirmative action

as used in admissions at the

University of Michigan, officials

from the nation's military acade-mies told the New York Times they

needed such programs to "main-

tain both integrated student bodiesand officer corps." West Point even

has specific percentage goals that

sound suspiciously like those quo-

tas the president so soundly derid-

ed.And retired senior military offi-

cers are so concerned about the

diversity of the leadership ranks

being depleted that they are filing aSupreme Court brief supporting

the University of Michigan.

That means President George

W. Bush is filing a brief opposingpolicies that his military says are

needed. Academy officials want

diverse student bodies to produce

military leadership that reflects the

society it is ordered to defend. And

they need an officer corps that

reflects the troops.Minorities make up 18 percent

of the enlisted Air Force and a

whopping 44 percent of the Army,

"Officers of color are important asrole models in the Army," Col.

Michael L. Jones, dean of admis-

sions at West Point, told the Times—rale models that would include

Secietary of State Colin Powell, the

four-star general and strong advo-

cate for affirmative action.The mlhtary knows that race

matters. It is, Jones stressed, justone small factor in the overall

admissions process. But court-watchers say the Bush brief would

preclude even that.

Perhaps the commander in

chief should have consulted the

troops before engaging in this bat-

tle.

enny Barron is one of those musi-

cians who has played with every-ody. Everybody is a big word, but

Dizzy 'illespie, Freddy Hubbard,Stanley Turrentine and Buddy Rich is avery impressive group of musicians tohave on a resume.

Barron is a musician with an educa-tion. Many perfoi.mers have a degree;the majority of players with a piece ofpaper received their diploma before theywere accomplished. Players usually don'see the need to get a degree after theyhave established themselves in themusic community.

Barron received his bachelor's degreefrom Empire State College after he hadalready been with Gillespie for fiveyears, and was working with YusefLateef. At the encouragement of Lateef,Barron pursued an education.uYusef encouraged me to do otherthings," Barron said. "Better myself, getaccreditation and a degree."

Barron was quick to point out that itis not important Lo have the piece ofpaper to be a performer. But for whatBarron wanted to do, it was mandatory.

Barron used his diploma to begin ateaching career. In 1973, he joined thefaculty at Rutgers University as profes-sor of music. While at Rutgers he taugbtsome of today's most bankable young

Piano pro beefs up house bandjazz stars, including David Sanchez,Terence Blanchard and Regina Bell.

Now a professor at both ManhattanSchool of Music and Juilliard, Barronjuggles teaching and touring.

"When I have to tour, I have to tour,"Barron said. uI try and xnake up lessonsand things that I missed while I wasaway."

Barron tours frequently with differentprojects, as well as with tus own trio thatincludes Ben Riley and Ray Drummond.Prior to coming to the Lionel HamptonJazz Festival, Barron worked with aBrazilian project.

"It's been very fun and exciting,"Barron said. uYou want to have fun. I'mnot trying to prove anyth.ing."

Barron grew up with two brothers andsisters, and all of them had to play piano.He began playing at age 6, although hedidn't fall in love with the discipline of

(-co

the instrument until he got older."I didn't want to study when I was 6,"

Barron said. uBut I grew to love iL after awhile."

As a teenager, Barron was alreadyplaying professionally with his olderbrother Bill, the now deceased tenor sax-ophonist. The two played in the MelMelvin orchestra. Barron's big breakcame when he impressed the great saxo-phonist James Moody.

On James Moody's recommendatiotT,Gillespie hired Barron before he eveiheard him play. Barron stayed wiLhGillespie for five years, unLil he felL itwas time to move on.

"There comes a Linie Lo move on musi-cally," Barron explained. "Geminis like Lomove around."

"A kiss is,s omething you cannot give without tak-ing, and cannot take without giving."

- Anonymous

C hocolate, roses, love poems ...and kisses. Thestuff that Valentine's Day is made of.

It is amazing that something that is heldwith such high reverence and passion is actuallyvery little known. Everyone remembers their bestkiss, their most passionate kiss, even their firstukiss-off'.. but what about the first kiss?

In order to deflate your Valentine balloon, I mustreport that anthropologists believe the art of kissingoriginated from the transfer of masticated food froma mother to her infant child —lip contact that obvi-ously man tried to carry into his adulthood.

This ritual is still practiced today in Papua NewGuinea. Among ancient Egyptians, the word that istranslated as uto kiss" means 'to eat'. And don't wesee this in the testimony of love poetry? Poet Ovidcalled kissing "The banquet of love." We also referto the "taste of our lover's lips," "her lips are sweet,""lips dripping with honey" ...

Most cultures essentially knew nothing of kissesuntil the Europeans showed up (bless their hearts).This detail led some scholars to reveal that kissingis a learned action, not an instinctual one. Yet wesee many species, "lower than man," with manifes-tations resembling the kiss.

The ornamental fish, "kissing gurami," can staylip-locked for up to 25 minutes. The chimpanzees,bonubos, kiss on the mouth —big, sloppy, wet ones(Ah,, brings back memories, doesn't it?). Birds,dogs, cats, even snails bring their faces together inwhat appeals to be a kiss. They are in reality usingtheir sense of smell to breathe in information abouteach other.

This early form of "sniff-kiss" can be found inmany countries. In Siberia, the word "kiss" means"to smell." India used this form in 2000 B.C.tosmell a partner's face as a greeting to detect"mood." We romantically think of Eskimos and their"nose kiss" dealing with temperatures too cold totouch lips.

In fact, the Inuit Indians were breathing in scentglands on each other's cheeks. On the opposite sideof the thermometer, men in the desert of Bedovinlightly touched noses with each other while makingkissing sounds —nothing more than a simple salu-tation.

More intimately, some native Indians believedexhaled breath was part of their life-force; bringingtheir mouths together was a spiritual interminglingof the souls. The French upped the stakes even

KRT

higher when a ceremonial welcome of dignitarieswas to give a kiss on each side of the face (nowsome in France give four kisses). And being a muchmore liberal country, they first adapted kissing as alove signal.

After the popular sport of figure dancing, theyused the kiss as an indication for the end of thedance. ("The seal of love" —William Shakespeare).And of course, we all know about the dropping ofPuritan ideals with their conceiving of the "soulkiss" (tongue kiss, French kiss ...you get the pic-ture)

But it was the Romans who brought eroticism tothe kiss. By 1500 B.C.,erotic kisses were beingdepicted by artists. Horace writes about the playful"nip kiss": "On thy lips marks the boy with his teethto his joy." Through poetry, stories and paintings,they showed the romance of kissing, even the spiri-tual "non-kiss": "Then she kisses with her eyelids,kisses with her eyebrows, with her chin, and hands,and fingers. All her blood and all her spirit. All meltdown to burnmg kisses."

We have so many romantic notions of kisses, yet

iss is ust a ...mea.t think it's Valentine's

Day today. No kidding.I'e been wandering inand out of shops ever sinceChristmas, being sweetlyreminded of the impendingday.

Now I don't want tosound like a party pooper,but there are two sides twoeach coin; good and bad,positive and negative.

Scenario one: Valentine'sDay is something to beeagerly anticipated. As Ioverheard one girl say(while trailing the corridorsof Wal-MarL —more on thatlater), "I was planning onbuying ...."

There's no need to con-tinue. The thought hasalready been sown. Forgetwhat she does with theenvisaged gift. Valentine'sDay is on the agenda; shehas someone to send some-thing to who, by ail intentsand purposes, will respondto her thoughtfulness.

Or there's scenario two:Lots of pretty red cards tolook at. The big question is:to whom does one send one?What is the destination?

I made a deal with afriend of mine ages ago. Weexchanged cards annually,having signed the bottom.So platonic, so mature.However, this will not bethe case this year. Heinconveniently got marriedand I somehow don't thinkthe spouse would appreci-ate cards floating onto theirdoormat —apart from hers,of course.

But the likes of Wal-Mart do not aid the situa-tion. The range of Valentinegoods on sale is huge ...vast. There is a big enoughassortment to decorate a

house, bordering on a pala-tial mansion.

Let,'s start with thebasics. There are cards forevery type of human beingin existence (boyfriends,girl-friends,parents,siblings,cousins,not Lo for-get aliensand othercrazycrea-Lures).There are RIDDIEA

However, independent film companyion's Gate brashly says "Spielberg

vho?" with "The Grey Zone," whichicely captures the tone of the notori-us death camp, with a few bumps andruises invading the filmmaking neu-ral zones.

Like Spielberg's "Schindler's List,"he film follows a slew of Jewish char-cters through their various internaltruggles in the camp. It focuses on aewish doctor, played by Allan.orduner, who faces moral dilemmass he's forced to assist the Nazis inheir mass slaughtering. He's caught inetween serving a blatantly imperialistazi General, played by Harvey Keitel,

".".::through.David Arquette, who is fresh off has-

ing computer-animated "8 LeggedFreaks" last summer, drops his campy,dry wit to turn in a surprisingly freshdramatic turn. Keitel pilots his Hitler-like General with a brisk accent andplenty of animosity.

The visual array of disturbing, unin-hibited shots of executions, gas cham-bers, and the ever-present smokestacks

ejecting the smoke nfburning bodies isdisturbing. It, effectively drops us in themiddle of a different perspective ofWorld War II. Blake Nelson assaults uswith enough of these macabre images

THE GREY ZONE thies with the Jews.C.M.: There are

Denbrook's take: commendable per-***(of 5) formances from

avid Arquette q"'tte, aswell as Natasha

and Daniel Benzali Lyonne and MiraSorvino. One incred-

ibly intense scene is when MiraSorvino is rocking in a dead cell chanti-ng "Don't tell them"; it's disturbing andpowerful. Steve Buscemi lends his vet-eran flair and composure with'is pres-ence and lines. Harvey Keitel is won-derful in his role as Muhsfeld(, andespecially in opposition to the Dr.Nyiszli.

"The Grey Zone" has a way of sayinga lot with very little. Often undia-logued scenes are the most moving. Ipraise Russell Lee Fine for his beauti-ful cinematography. He captures des-peration in man that is reminiscent

of'ubrick's"2001:A Space Odyssey" and"Full Metal Jacket." Graceful panningshots and stills do more for him thanclose-ups and add much to the atmos-phere of the overall story. When ayoung girl survives the gas andHoffman, played by David Arquette, isbent on saving her, an element ofunspoken innocence falls into theblood-soaked hands of the sonderko-man dos.

The grueling terror of Auschwitzand the conflict between Hungariansonderkomando Jews and those beingput to death is portrayed in detail andto great effect. The failed rebellion istrag c and disturb-

powerful theimages are, the sto-ryline is obscure, VideO/DVD

and meticulous attimes. In fact, the storyline is onlyrevealed through confusing, rapid-firedialogue between the charactersadvancing the narrative. It reads exact-ly like a play, because it was adaptedfrom Blake Nelson's play of the samename. As the actors stumble through abarrage of three-word phrases, ques-tions and quick insinuations, we oftenfeel as if we'e listening to a group offoreign exchange students talking inEnglish for the first time. The dialogueis confining and emotionless, and muchlike a person trying to tell a story with-out the use of gestures, it, gets compli-cated. The movie plays like the dramaof "Schindler's List" in a head-on colli-sion with the revolting prisoners of"The Last Castle," but the characterdepth only lurks below the surface asthe actors can't make it break water.

C.M.: The dialogue feels forced fromtime to time, which can remove theviewer from the conflict. Also, HarveyKeitel's accent slips at awkward

moments, which is distracting to thestory. Excluding the Nazis, every otheractor speaks in generic Americanaccents, which makes me wonder if itwould have been more successful with-out them (the accents, not the Nazis).There is a general problem of too manyquestions being flung between theactors. Sometimes it just seems thatTim Blake Nelson needed somethingfor that person to say regardless ofwhether it flowed or not.

Final Take:J.D.:Audiences who appreciate his-

torical drama will be intrigued. Thereis plenty of symbolism and metaphor,and some triumphant moments of film-making. Occasionally, the acting comesthrough when the actors decide theycan cast off their stiff outer shell andcompete with one another. The setup isslightly convoluted and the story hardto follow. At the same time, the film-making is poignant and touching at itsbest, which is achieved when Nelsoncasts off the moldy play format that thefilm should have ditched in the writingprocess, and shows us the action of thestory rather than telling us,

C.M: "The Grey Zone" is a genuinemovie of human struggle, one of thefiner depictions of concentration campsI have seen. Its flaws in dialogue areable to be overlooked to the largerthemes of life and perseverance in theface of incredible odds. Even though"Schindler's List" is overall superior,"The Grey Zone" is most certainly apiece ofhistory that should never beforgotten.

it has not always been a universal cus-tom. In 1897, the French anthropolo-gist Paul d'Enjoy (really!) pointed outthat the Chinese felt a kind of horrorat the cannibalistic act, when frontedwith the Western convention of mouth-to-mouth kissing. Finnish tribes con-sider it indecent.It was a mortal sin in the CatholicChurch in the middle ages. In 1562,kissing was banned in Naples; it waspunishable by death. Even now inIndiana, it is illegal for a mustachedman to "habitually kiss humanbeings." Hartford, Conn., rules that aman cannot kiss his wife on Sunday.Cedar Rapids, Iowa boasts that it is acrime to kiss a stranger.

Luckily, we now have many vari-eties to freely choose from: the butter-fly kiss, the electric kiss, the eyelashkiss, the surprise kiss, the vacuumkiss ...the list goes on.

Ingrid Bergman said, "The kiss is alovely trick designed by nature to stopspeech when words become superflu-ous.

And it's good exercise; you can burn26 calories in a one-minute kiss.

Bobbi Sherlock and Ray Blazingkissed for 130 hours and two minutesin a kissathon in 1978, setting theworld record.

At the Minnesota RenaissanceFestival in 1990,Alfred Wolframkissed 8,001 people in eight hours.

The average person will spend twoweeks of his life kissing. What a feast!That's 336 glorious hours ofsmooching, 20,160 breathtaking min-utes of lip-lock, or 1,209,600 sizzlingseconds of sucking face.

And best of all for the starving col-lege student, it's free. So HappyValentine's Day, and kiss on!

It does not help either that my sis-ter phoned up last week to kindlyinform me of her smug girlfriend sta-tus as well as describe her boyfriend'sintention to whisk her away for theweekend. What is the alternative tobuying cards and chocolates for oneselfin a fit of remorse?

It's easy. Meet up with some friends;go out and have some fun. It's only oneout of 365 days in the year after all. Oryou can lie. Pretend it's your birthday;that way you'l receive lots of cards.Maybe you'l get a few early too. Now,that would raise a few eyebrows ...

"Chicago" was their kind ofmovie, and the Academy ofMotion Picture Arts and Sciencesproved it by showering a svhop-ping 13 Oscar nominations onthe movie version of Bob Fosse'smusical. But the biggest winner«t Tuesday's 75th AcademyAwards nominations was HarveyWeinstein.

The chairman of Miramax notonly shepherded "Chicago"through nearly 10 years of devel-opment but presided over thethree-year public relations disas-t«r that was "Gangs of NewYork," which repaid his blusterwith 10 nominations.

As icing on his cake, Miramaxhas the overseas distributionrights to "The Hours," whichreceived eight nominations, andit has a financial piece of "TheLord of the Rings: The TwoTowers," ivhich Miramax devel-oped before turning it over toNew Line.

After a couple of years of beingshuffled off to the Oscar sidelinessvith little but showy but emptycandidates like "Chocolat," theman who virtually invented mod-ern Oscar campaigning remind-ed the competition that this washow it was done. First, you pro-

duce great movies. Then you con-vince the 5,816 members of theacademy that those movies weregreat with a barrage of advertis-ing and hype.

Miramax also pulled off a cou-ple of minor coups by securing abest actress nomination forSalma Hayek in "Frida" and asupporting actress nominationfor Queen Latifah in "Chicago."

Meryl Streep, who could havehad nominations in either ofthose categories for "The Hours,"had to console herself withbecoming the most-nominatedactress in Oscar history courtesyof her supporting actress nod for"Adaptation." She now has 13nominations, surpassingKatharine Hepburn's 12.

There were few bona fide sur-prises in Tuesday's announce-ments, save for the relativelypoor showing of "Lord of theRings: The Two Towers." Whilethe first installment of the trilo-gy led the nomination tally lastyear with 13, the second install-ment earned only six for a filmthat both critics and audiencesconsidered superior to the first.

Director Peter Jackson suf-fered a major snub by being shutout in the best director race. Hisspot was taken by Spain's PedroAlmodovar, whose "Talk to Her,"unlike the films of the other

The film with the most nomi-nations has won the best picturecategory for 18 of the past 20years, which holsters the viewthat "Chicago" is essentially alock to become the first musicalto win best picture since "Oliver!"in 1968. Still, it is a long shot towin most of the other categoriesin which it was nominated,including best song.

Even if we weren', hometownboosters, we would consider "8Mile" 's "Lose Yourself," the firstOscar-nominated song ever tohave been written and recordedin Detroit, the front-runner, anda victory would also make it, thefirst slice of hip-hop ever to winan Oscar.

Ul senior Justln Logan pushes the ball up the court against Long Beach State Thursday night in the Cowan Spectrum.E I'1 E T Nl A R D ARGONAUT

Williams lights up 49ers or 30BY NATHAN JEI«KEARRIRTANT el'()ltTR EDITOR

t t wasn't pretty, but the effort by theUniversity of Idaho 'men's basketballteam was effective enough for it to gar-

ner a 72-67 victory over Long Beach State,the Big West's worst team.

UI guard Dwayne Williams had acareer night, making 8 of 12 from the field,4-for-8 from 3-point range and 10 of 13from the free-throw line for a career-high30 points. Coming into Thursday night,Williams was shooting only 35 percentfrom the field and 47 percent from the line.

"Coach was telling me to have a goodgame at home, like I have on the road, andI guess I just came out and played goodlike I do on the road," Williams said.

The Vandals (10-11 overall, 6-6 confer-ence) fended off a fierce offensive attackfrom Long Beach State (4-7 overall, 3-9conference). The 49ers scored 18 points inthe final six minutes. UI fought back,making 7 of 8 from the free-throw line plusa game ending slam dunk by Jack May inthe final 1:27 to seal the victory.

UI took over the lead just before half-time and never gave it up. The Vandalsnever let the 49ers get within six pointsover the final four minutes.

"I thought we executed well, offensive-ly," UI coach Leonard Perry said. "You canrun set plays, but when guys are open, ifthey don't make shots ...the execution isthe finishing at the end, and we did a goodjob at that."

The second half was not indicative ofthe problem the Vandals faced in the firsthalf.

UI started the game on fire, breakingout to a 10-0 lead, sparked by a pair of 3-

pointers by Williams, both from the leftwing. That was quickly combated by athree-minute, 11-point run by the 49ers.

That Long Beach run set the tone forthe rest of the half. In the final 13 minutesbefore the break there were nine leadchanges and two ties, but the Vandalspulled ahead for the last time off aWilliams jump shot and ensuing freethrow.

Despite a poor shooting half, the 49erstrailed by only two as they went to thelocker room. Long Beach shot only 38 per-cent in the opening half but converted on 8of 11 free throws and grabbed nine offen-sive rebounds, leading to a plethora of sec-ond-chance points,

Perry wasn't satisfied with the halftimelead, especially after the early 10-pointlead.

"I was disappointed in about 32 min-utes defensively. I was disappointed in theway we played in the first half. We wereawful," Perry said. "You can't do thatagainst teams in this league or they'l beatyou."

The Vandals actually improved on theirstats in the second half, shooting 52.2 per-cent from the field and connecting on 17 of20 from the line.

Rashaad Powell also had a big night forthe Vandals, scoring 12 points and grab-bing seven boards. Guard Justin Logancontributed 10 points and six assists.

Long Beach State was led by TonyDarden's 18 points. Vance Lawhorn andChris Jenkins scored 13 apiece.

UI stays at home this weekend, hostingUC Irvine 7 p.m. Saturday in the CowanSpectrum. UI lost to the Anteaters 58-45Jan. 18 and is looking to knock off the BigWest's second-place team.

Men's tennis breaks in nezo facility in MontanaII Y D I A Ic E E YA N s

he University of Idaho men's tennisteam travels to the Big Sky countrythis weekend to compete in the

Montana State InvitationalThe Vandals, 1-1,are coming off a tough

loss to the nationally ranked University ofOregon squad.

The tennis team is familiar with facingopponents away from its home venue.

"We play probably 95 to 98 percent ofour matches on the road, so for us, that'normal. We'e used to it; we like it. We getto travel and play. I think it makes it goodbecause we'e used to different conditionsand adversity and having to be in our best.in that environment," said Greg South,head tennis coach.

The Vandals will be in the inauguralmatch in Montana State's brand-new ten-nis facility.

"We went there nine years ago, my firstyear here, and we beat them," South said."We haven't gone back since because I justfeel the facilities weren't adequate. Nowthey have this nice, new facility, (and)they'e been very, very gracious to help usget over there."

With a new facility also brings a newbatch of competition. Among the teamsfeatured this weekend is much-improvedhost Montana State Bozeman.

"They changed coaches two years ago.

"I think we'e solid enough to do verywell enough against, these teams. We'eplayed them a couple of times and weknow we can compete. We just, have to putin the effort to do so. I think we will beable to succeed," Hector Mucharraz said.

"We'e going to have a match that'going to be very even," South said. "Wecould win all the games, they could vvin allthe games. It's going to be a dog fighteither way,"

This weekend's match and other gamesare a stepping stone leading to the confer-ence championslups.

"The main goal is to win conference. It'been the focus since the very beginning,since fall. It's the only thing we'e got todo; it's the only way ive're going to makeNCAAB," Faulman said.

Smce we re young, we re going to haveto get better team chemistry„more cohe-sion and work tvvice as hard as the otherteams," said Brad Lum-Tucker, a junior.

"I knew I had a peat group of specialguys here, but probably my mnst pleasantsurprise is t,hat everyoiie of them has fullycommitted to doing the best. they can, nomatter what," Saut,h said.

South said this weekend will also be atest to see where the team is at and whatneeds to be done.

"I view competition as a lens to evaluatewhether we'e meeting our goals, what ourprogress has been, what we need to workon " South said

"The goal for this

weekend is to come out as ateam and perform as a team."

CHRIS FAULMANTENNIS TEAM

Mike Phillips is the coach there; he's donea tremendous job. That team is probablythree levels above the level of play it'been the last few years," South said.

While past history against these teamsfavors the Vandals, they are aware theymust work hard in order to succeed.

"We'e been fortunate the last eightyears; we'e won our matches againstthem, but they'e always been a fight.Both of those schools have improved thisyear, and we have a fight. I'm expecting aheck of a weekend with a lot of good ten-nis," South said.

"The goal for this weekend is to comeout as a team and perform as a team," jun-ior Chris Faulman said.

"Last weekend at Oregon, we per-formed as individuals. I thought it hurt us.If we don't show up, we'l lose. If we doshow up, all of them should be prettyclose."

year's NBAdraft. The 6-foot-8-inch seniorat St. Vincent-St. Mary wassuspended for the rest of theseason because he acceptedtwo retro sports jerseys fromthe owner of a Clevelandclothing store, according toESPN.corn. OHSAA commis-sioner Clair Muscaro ruledthat James broke an amateurbylaw by capitalizing on hisathletic fame, accepting a giftof monetary value,

The Ohio High SchoolAthletic Association declaredhim ineligible for the rest ofthe season, only to have thedecision temporarily blockr dby Summit County JudgeJames Williams, who ruledthat James must sit out onlyone other game this season ontop of the one game he missedwhile awaiting Williams'ul-ing, according to ESPN.corn

One would assume Jameshad some sort of compellingexcuse for his actions, whichin turn led to the judge's rul-ing Guess again

James'xplanationfor his actionswas this: "When I went in (thestore), you know, I was justgoing in there as being, youknow, another player, andthey was trying to reward mefor my good grades," Jamessaid, according to the Website. He said he has a 3.5 GPA.

I hate to think that's thebest excuse a student with a3.5 GPA could come up with. Imean, he could at least give ussomething like "My dog atemy homework," or "I have noscruples whatsoever."

I'e never heard of a nor-mal, not famous person walk-ing into a store and emergingwith $30 worth of stuff, letalone $845 worth. It seemsobvious to me that the gifts hereceived were based solely onhis athletic prowess, a clearviolation of amateur athleticrules.

Now, James'am savmggrace was probably that sec-tion five of the OHSAA bylawsbasically states that mattersregarding personal conductand not involving athletics areto be judged bv the schoolitself; in other words, it is upto Janies'chool to determinewhether he should be sus-pended.

iVait a minute. You'etelling me that the very schoolthat has immersed itself inthe benefits of being associat-ed with a player of

James'otoriety,such as being able toraise ticket prices, move to alarger arena and get one of itsgames televised on ESPN, isresponsible for whether to sus-pend the very player who gar-nered it such spoils? Plus, theschool, which has the No. 1ranked boys basketball teamin the country, has a statechampionship to consider. Talkabout a conflict of interest.

All the hoopla, pardon thepun, boils down to this:whether it be the OHSAA, St.Vincent-St. Mary, his motheror the Easter Bunny, some-body needs to suspend LeBronJames for the rest of the sea-son.

And if James is going tocontinues to play for theremainder of the season, thenI am going to go down to thePalouse Mall right now, reportcard in hand, with a wish listbigger than LeBron

James'go.

broken foot.) At 13-10, they need astrong fmish to gain an at-large bid.

The same is true of MichiganState (13-9), Villanova (13-9), Iowa(12-8), Tulsa I 12-8) and Alabama(13-7), which has lost seven of 11since ascending to No. 1 inDecember.

How important is conferencerecord'?

There is no rule prohibit,ingteams with sub-.500 records inleague play from receiving at-largebids. But this year's selection com-mittee chairman, Arizona AthleticDirector Jim Livengood, has strongfeelings on the subject.

"It's really hard to justify that,"he told reporters a few weeks ago.

That's trouble for Texas Tech (4-5in the Big 12), Indiana (4-5 in theBig Ten), Louisiana State (2-7 in theSEC) and even Or'egon.

The Ducks are 6-5 in the Pac-10but play five of their last seven onthe road.

Does the selection committeehave a clue?

That's to be determined, but thismuch is certain: This year's contin-gent is long on career administra-tors and short on former basketballcoaches. Let's hope Livengood isbetter at picking at-large teamsthan football coaches.

when it appeared the Cardinals (18-2, 8-1in Conference USA) might produce anoth-er huge second half.

"We had to win all the intangible bat-tles because they had us on the athleticside," SLU coach Brad Soderberg said."The last thing we said before leaving thelocker room is that we won't get outworkedin our own building. They rallied aroundthat."

The win was the most notable for SLUsince the Billikens beat No. 1 Cincinnatiin the 2000 C-USA tournament, and itprompted the student section to rush thefloor in a postgame celebration with theplayers.

To get the upset, the Billikens had toslow a team that was averaging 84 pointsper game and was accustomed to blowingteams out in the second half.

"We haven't been in very many tightgames of late so we learned from that,"Louisville coach Rick Pitino said."Everything had been falling our way andwe won some games we should have lost.Now this is a game we should have won,and they made it down the stretch."

Perry led SLU (9-12 overall, 3-7 inConference USA) with 25 points. He com-pleted a three-point play that pulled theBillikens to one point behind with 13.2seconds left and then deflected Louisville'sinbound pass to set up his winning shot ona driving layup,

But some of the biggest, momentsbelonged to his teammates..losh Fisherdived headfirst for a loose ball at nlidcourtmidway through the first half, leading to adunk by Chris Sloan.

Sloan came out of nowhere later in thehalf to tip in a missed shot, and he made asteal in the closing minute and scored on abreakaway to aid the comeback. But thebiggest performance might have been bycenter Kenny Brown, who held Louisville'sMarvin Stone scoreless.

"Marvin Stone is a player," Soderbergsaid. "That he didn't score is unbelievable.Kenny could make a case for being thebest post defender in the count,rv, and Idon't mean that flippantly."

Recce Gaines had another big gameagainst SLU. He scored 28 points, incltrd-

ing Louisville's first 11 of the second halfto help erase the Billikens'5-29 lead.

However, he missed a free throw withthe Cardinals leading 58-54 with 24 sec-onds left and then had a desperation 3-pointer crash off the backboar.d as timeexpired.

The Billikens were successful in most ofthe areas their coach had stressed. Theycommitted only eight turnovers and heldLouisville to seven offensive rebounds.

They also forced 16 turnovers, whichled to 26 points. That helped the Billikensmake up for shooting 34 percent from thefield.

IKRT) —With Selection Sundayjust over four weeks away, here arefive questions for the stretch run.

Who are the No. 1 seeds'?At. this point, the best bets are.

Arizona, Louisville and Kentucky,and probably Florida. althougheach has trouble looming.

Kentucky and Florida have therugged Southeastern Conferenceschedule, Louisville inusi. visitMarquette and Cincinnati, andArizona heads to Arizona State andthe Bay Area.

It would take a near-collapse forthe Wildcats to lose their No. 1 iced,because any region with Arizona asthe second seed is initantly over-loaded. (The NCAA selection com-mittee does its best to b;llance thefour regions.)

Outside that quartet, Pit(.sburgh,Texas and Oklahoma have the bestchance to claim a No. 1.

Which big-name teams are introuble'

ST. LOUIS (IMT) —Walking back tothe St. Louis University sideline afterwatching the ball, and seemingly thegame, roll off his hand and out of bounds,Marque Perry could not have looked moredisgusted than he did Wednesday night.

The scenario was familiar. Anotherclose game for the St. Louis Universitymen's basketball team against a qualityopponent was about to slip away, this timeagainst the No. 2 team in the country.

"All I kept thinking was I'e got to get itback," Perry said. "I can', let my teamdown.

In a season of clutch performances,Perry produced his masterpiece to cap ascrappy team effort that produced a 59-58stunner over Louisville at Savvis Center,site of possibly the biggest upset in collegebasketball this season.

The senior guard grabbed the headlinesby scoring five points in the final 13 sec-onds, including the winner with 3.2 sec-onds left in front of a crowd of 11,338.Hecompleted a rally from a seven-pointdeficit and ended the Cardinals'7-gamewin streak.

But his heroics wouldn't have been pos-sible without the grittiest effort of the sea-son by his teammates, who flew and divedabout the court to keep the game close
