McConnell Hall gets facelift, connection to networkDormitory will

University of Idaho students canlook forward to some newly reno-vated, state-of-the-art dormitoryrooms next fall.

McConnell Hall is getting a $2million facelift, although somemight call it a total organ trans-plant. McConnell Hall and its twindormitory, Shoup Hall, were builtin 1958.

University Residences DirectorRoger Oettli said McConnell willbe the first residence hall on cam-pus to meet the federal guidelinesprovided in the Americans withDisabilities Act. A new elevator isbeing added to the south end of thebuilding to help meet those guide-lines. In addition, there will be fivehandicapped-accessible rooms andone full handicapped-accessibleapartment.

"This will help us to attract feder-al conferences to campus," saidOettli. Residence halls are oftenused during the summer to provideliving space for conference atten-dees as well as a variety of sportscamps which take advantage ofUI's near-empty facilities in thesummer.

Students living in McConnell hallnext fall can look forward to super-single rooms each of which willboast a sink, telephone and cableaccess, along with a direct link tothe campus backbone computersystem.

Stuart Davis, associate director ofhousing, said students with comput-ers would have to buy an Ethernetadapter which currently costs about$150.

Ball gowns and uniformsadorned the third annualWashington State University andUniversity of Idaho Joint Services

. Military Ball held at the WSUCompton Union BuildingSaturday night.

Nearly 560 cadets, midshipmen,unit commanders and specialguests attended the cadet orga-nized event. The purpose of thcball is to bring Army, Navy, AirForce and Marine ROTC detach-ments from the two universitiestogether to socialize and improvejoint services relations. Alsoattending the ball were MoscowMayor Paul Agidius and Ul ViceProvost Dr. George Simmons.

Maj. Gen. James L. Hobson,Commanders of the Air ForceSpecial Operations Command inHurlburt Field, Fl. served as guestspeaker for the event. In October1983, Hobson flew the first air-craft that dropped U.S. ArmyRangers at Point Salines Airfieldduring the Grenada rescue opera-

tion, and as a result was awardedthe MacKay Trophy for mostmeritorious flight of the year.

"I want every one of you outthere to know that no matter whatuniform you'e wearing, that ourprofession is a noble profession,"Hobson said.

Hobson spoke of the results of apoll he read about in the NewYork Times about six monthsago. "The poll asked what institu-tion in thc U.S. do you respect themost," Hobson said, "They asked3,000 people. It wasn't the con-gress, it wasn't the clergy, itwasn't the professionals, it wasthc U.S. Military. This was notthe first time thc military was atthe top of the most respectedinstitutions in the U.S."

Thc 1995 Joint Military ballfocused on the 50th Anniversaryof World War II, with the theme,"Remember the Past." The eventalso included a formal dinner,performances by WSU JazzVocal Choir, and a sword archrecognizing university seniors.

Capt. Beth Huber of the Ul

Army ROTC presented the 62graduating seniors from both uni-versities, 12 from the UI ArmyROTC Chrisman Battalion, 10from the WSU Army ROTCCougar Battalion, 14 from thecombined WSU and UI Air ForceROTC and 26 from the combinedUl and WSU Naval and MarineROTC,

At the end of Hobson's speech,he was presented with HonoraryCertificates, making him anHonorary Vandal and Cougar, aWSU sweatshirt and a UI sweat-shirt, and a book called PalouseCountry, signed by all the cadetcore battalion commanders fromboth universities.

"Someday when you'e sittingon your porch, rocking, you canlook back and say, I did some-thing for my country," Hobsonsaid. "When you come into themilitary you may be asked to giveyour life for your country. So bcproud of your uniform, be proudof the men and women in all theservices, who really do thc job forthis country."

accounts to use laundry facilitieswhich will be installed in the base-ment of McConnell.

The new McConnell will alsoboast features making it a moreprivate facility than other residencehalls. Communal show ers have hadwalls added to enhance privacy.Sinks in the common bathroomswill be walled in to afford a moreprivate atmosphere.

"We'e tried to place more of anemphasis on privacy," said Oettli.Instead of finding cinder blockwalls in their rooms, students willhave drywalled rooms with addi-t iona I insulation added for noisereduction along with individualcontrols for room temperature.

Funding for the remodeling isprovided through a 20-year loanwhich University Residences willhave to pay back. ContractorsNorthwest, the construction com-pany hired to remodel the hall, saidthere are approximately 25employees working to finish thebuilding by June. The company

said it is pretty much on schedule."We'e been happy with this

contractor," said Oettli. "We'ehad good luck with them." The hallwill have a new fire sprinkler sys-tem installed throughout with asprinkler in each room. This addedfeature will allow the university togive the inside of the building amore open look without having toinstall heavy, metal fire doors allthrough the building.

The west lawn of the buildingwill be dug up to be replaced with

a plaza which will connect to thebasement door of McConnell.

"The plaza can be used as acatering site or for barbecues," saidOcttli. "It's also an inviting areafor poetry readings. The OutdoorProgram could use the area fordemonstrations on such things ashow to kayak."

McConnell will also have a"guest room" which could be used

by visiting professors or even,heaven forbid, visiting parents.

. Honors students at the Universityof'Idaho are spearheading a bookdrive to help establish a library inMoscow's "sister city" inNicaragua.

The honors program "was look-

ing for something different, some-

thing ongoing" when they chosetheir charity function for this year,said Elizabeth DeHaas, chairperson

for the Honors Program Charity.The Honors Program has teamed

up with the Moscow Sister City—acommunity based organization

located in Moscow —to help satisfythe needs of the people of Villa elCarmen, Nicaragua.

"The Moscow Sister City. hassent down a bunch of school sup-plies and medical equipment to

. Villa cl Carmen, even an old ambu-

lance. Last year they sent down a

high school teacher. The communi-

ty showed her their needs," DeHaas

said.The adopted city has many edu-

cational needs, DeHaas said. "Theteachers there might have a textbook and that's it. The chalk boards

are old, probably ones that we have

discarded. Many times the teachers

go unpaid; it's just expected," shesaid.

Co-sponsoring the city, the hon-

ors students have pledged theirtime to the Moscow Sister Citypromising to work a food booth at

the Renaissance Fair in order toraise money. "We have alreadyordered $800 worth of Spanishbooks," DeHaas said.

The Honors Program is encourag-

ing people to donate Spanish books

for the Nicaraguan library. Dropoff sites can be found at the Latah

County Library, the U I library, the

University Honors Center and the

Foreign Language Department.

The senate will vote on two dif-ferent bills. The first bill leaves ablank line after the dollar sign,where an unspecified amount ofmoney from the ASUI GeneralReserve would be donated to theECC (so an agreement. could bemade later as to how much moneythe senate will give). The secondbill requests $ 10,000 from theASUI General Reserve to be donat-ed to the ECC.

After weeks of not concludingthe issue, Senator Zahrah Sheikh,addressed the topic at last week'senate meeting. "Two weeks agowhen I brought my first bill, itfailed. You (the senate) said if Ibrought up a bill which gave to theECC, you'd vote on it," Sheikhsaid. "I don't see us going any-where with it,"

Senator John Tesnohlidek said, "Ithink they'e waiting for the prob-lem to go away, which of courseit's not going to." Tcsnohlidek is infavor of the bill.

"I think it's ironic that two weeksago we were so anxious when wcknew we had a bigger audience andwe knew it was going to be coveredin the Argonaut —how anxious wewere to serve students and give to

students and do all we can to helpunfortunate'students...and twoweeks later we'e done absolutelynothing," Tesnohlidek said at themeeting.

Senator Jeremy Winter, FinanceCommittee chair, said,'"I don'think the senate has wanted it to die(the bill). We brought it up andthat's what we'e here for." Wintersaid the senators haven't wanted torush. "We want to make sure it iswell thought-out. If we just throwit, it's going to cause problems inthe future."

Tesnohlidek, on the other hand isworried that the senate won't soonenough. "Another week goes by,another two weeks and another twoweeks and a few more familiesaren't going to be able to affordchild care," he said.

Winter would like to see ASUImoney go to a specific place for aspecific reason. "I don't like theidea of $ 10,000 being randomlygiven," Winter said, who is in favorof a child care bill that would spec-ify where the money would goexactly.

Tesnohlidek feels that a lot ofpeople don't understand that the$10,000 is coming out of the gener-al reserve fund, which is currentlyat $75,000. If the $75,000 isn'used up, it goes into next year'budget. "It's for emergencies justlike this one," Tesnohlidek said.

"I just hope that the past fiveweeks of complete inactivity aren'an indication of what's going to bethe future of ASVI because I thinkwe have the potential to do good onthis campus —if we don't getcaught-up in all this waiting aroundfor something to happen, withoutactually taking action as a body,"Tesnohlidek said of senators whoare worried about the ASUI imageand communication with students.

Another week goesby, another twoweeks and anothertwo weeks, and afew more familiesaren't going to beable to afford childcare.—John Tesnohlidek

ASUI Senator

Tesnohlidek also believes thatwhen senators have their own opin-ions and their decisions madeahead of time, they can construethe bills anyway they want to."They can really say anything, orthey can present the facts about theECC," said Tesnohlidek of theproblems of misrepresentation.

"It's the way you present it andthat's how it is with everything,"Winter said about how senators canpresent a bill to the living groupsthey represent in a biased manner."I'e been telling them both thepros and cons, of how things are."

The previous bill, which wouldhave distributed $10,000 to approx-imately 40 families to help them

pay for child care, was voted downtwo weeks ago at the meeting.

Sheikh changed the bill to givethe $10,000 to the ECC directlyafter the senate said they wouldsupport it.

ECC child care debate not over Dog food lady deliversDawn CaseyStaff

An enterprising local womanhas created a unique niche in the

dog food industry —she delivers."Why shouldn't our canine

companions be able to order takeout?" asks Paula Rose, owner ofOn The Spot Pro-Dog.

Rose, a student of AnimalScience at Washington StateUniversity and enthusiasticmember of the dog world,believes the need for dog fooddelivery is substantial and hopesto become the next "dog foodtycoon."

When Rose moved to Pullman

from Western Washington, shediscovered that the brand shehad been feeding her dogs wasnot supplied by any stores in thearea. Dedicated to the brand, shebrought a truckload with her and

applied for a business lisence."This is a 'grass roots'og

food," she said, "Our best mar-keting comes from people whofeed Pro-Dog, see the results ontheir dogs, and then recommend

it to their friends and neighbors."She has regular delivery

schedules in the Moscow-Pullman area and will drop offup to 25 bags of her product on acustomer's doorstep.

She will even carry the baginside the house, place it in thecustomer's own container, andcarry the empty bag away. Somecustomers simply leave a checkunder the doormat, she said.

Even price consciousdog'wnerscan benefit from taking

advantage of her delivery ser-vice, she said. Her product—including delivery —runs about$ 10 less than other premiumbrands.

Grocery store prices run lessthan that for the same amount,but many dog ow)ters are wearyof low grade ingredients andvegetable proteins which are tax-ing on the canine digestive sys-tem.

For deliveries outside the citylimits, she charges 75 centsextr'a, but also gives discountsfor large orders. Dog enthusiastscan call for home delivery at(509) 332-4421.

oreign lands laden withancient artifacts in muse-ums or vision of exotic

tropical islands may be whatcomes to mind whenever manyof us hear the word "culture."

Yet culture is a shared system that belongs to everyindividual.

The International Afternoon of Culture, Costume,and Cuisine held Saturday in the Student UnionBallroom offered an elaborate view of the many andvaried cultures that are prevalent even within ourMoscow community.

Brinda Mahadevan, Student Chair of the event, com-mented on the unique opportunity to coordinate thethird annual celebration.

"It is better and better every year. Many of us areignorant of the diversity in Moscow and not many uni-versities provide the chance to take part in a culturalexchange," Mahadevan said.

Mahadevan described thc event as "a synopsis of thecultural diversity that exists herc."

Indeed, the program was diverse, displaying an arrayof "culture, costume, and cuisine" from many coun-tries.

Mohammad Kaleemullah, the Students'nternationalAssociation President, opened thc program with anintroduction of Kathleen Trotter from KWSU/NPRRadio as the Mistress of Ceremonies.

Then the show began as Thc Border Highlanders, aband of Scottish bagpipers lcd by Pipe Major KirkMcMichael, ushered a procession of 106 flags, most ofthem presented by members of the correspondingcountry. The procession included 20 new flags in

addition to the 86 that were inaugurated by PresidentZinser at last year's ceremony. The flags, which are ondisplay in the Student Union Ballroom, were proudlywaved by the bearers as Trotter introduced each ofthem.

Pride was strong as the flags stood post and thesounds of the bagpipers gave a certain dignity to the

ceremony.Next on the program was Children of the World. A

children sang "Circle of Life" and "Hakuna Matata"from The Lion King.

Following was Fashions of the World which present-ed traditional as well as contemporary apparel fromvarious countries.

The fashion show began with the colorful clothingof Africa that included such accessories as a bone han-dled dagger and beads worn by some African womenindicating marital status.

An exquisite performance of classical dances fromIndia entertained the audience with the mystical move-ments and the mesmerizing sounds of Indian music.

The group of girls, from ages 5-14, portrayed therelationship between man and god through their ges-tures. Five-year-old Sophy Sarkar was enchanting asshe danced the spiritual Manipuri, symbolizing lovefor the Lord Krishna. All seven girls held mature com-posure as they charmed the audience with their dances.

An extremely lively group of adult Bhangda dancersfrom India followed with a gala of music and move-ment.

Fine silks, handmade gold jewelry of gold and pre-cious stones, and other elegant fabrics of India werethen shown. The fashions included everything fromeveryday wear to clothing that takes up to a year tocreate for religious ceremonies.

< Fashions from Asia included Korean children in hol-iday wear, traditional Japanese wedding attire, a multi-tude of Malaysian wears, and a demonstration ofsword posturing from the People's Republic of C;hina.

Asian wear held a manifold of styles from thesophistication of high-slitted burgundy velvet dressesfrom China to a father4aughter ensemble from thePhilippines.

During the break, cuisine from eight countries wasserved as guests sat at tables adorned with decorationfrom 40 countries. A representative from each country

The University of Idaho'sKUOI radio station is looking tobroaden its news perspective bycreating a weekly news maga-zine focusing on campus activi-ties.

KUOI currently broadcastsPacifica, a half hour news pro-gram which covers northwestnews, twice a day every week-day, but hopes to expand by

'dding a new program dealingwith campus events and activi-ties.

"We want to focus on campusevents as they develop," ChrisWolking, News Director forKUOI said.

Wolking said that the 15minute program would air everyFriday with a rebroadcast onSunday. The goal of the programis to feature news that relates tocampus activities by covering theASUI senate, sports, entertain-ment and everything in between.

"lf it happens on campus,we'l cover it," Wolking said.

"The goal is to maintain a

news department and do it well

There is enough activity in aweek to come up with a goodspot," Wolking said.

The main thing holding theprogram back is a staff. At this

time Wolking has been unable tolocate anyone willing to volun-teer for the position.

"It's a volunteer program,"Wolking said of the unpaid staffposition, "but the pay is experi-ence and the chance to have an

outstanding medium to put thatexperience to work."

Wolking said that experienceis not necessary but that it is pre-ferred. What is needed is some-one to go out and do the inter-views and write the story so that

it can be broadcast, Wolkingsaid.

The position is open to all Ul

students and those interested in

gaining valuable experience aswell as an excellent pad forresumes can contact Wolking at

(208) 885-6393 or stop by theKUOI studio in the StudentUnion to pick up a volunteerapplication.

KUOI looking for help

hosted the tables as guestsmunched on Baklava from Turkey,Murukku from India, ShrimpChips from China, and othercuisines.

The representatives were cagerto share their countries'ulturesand answer questions as "visitors"

'dmired thc centerpicccs and trin-kets displayed at the tables.

"Many do not associate culturewith Idaho, but it exists," said

Vijya Ravi, the hostess of the tablefrom India. "People don't know

just how culturally enriched thisuniversity is."

Every host seemed excited topromote awarcncss of their coun-try's culture. Boon Aik, host of theMalaysian table, showed maps andexotic fruits from the jungleincluding the King of Fruits, aprickly shelled fruit called hornyfruit. Aik was persuasive when hcsaid, "Malaysia is the best countryto visit."

Other hosts said the same thing.Fashions of the World continued

with clothing from Australia,Europe, South America, and thefamiliar western wear of NorthAmerica.

Featured was Ncz PcrccChipperra Tribal wear worn byNative Americans, among themformer Miss World Indian. Thissegment included parts of pow-wow dancing and Native-Amcrican chanting.

Over 100 models took part in theshow, many of them adding a littlevigor to the ramp with dancingand traditional inusic. The cos-tumes came from all over theworld, including a 100-year-oldSpanish dress, heirlooms, hand-

made costumes, and clothing fromthc Chinese Embassy.

Chairpersons of the event wereRon Evcrett, Mary Blanton, and

Brinda Mahadcvan. Thc event waspresented by the InternationalFriendship Association in coopera-tion with the InternationalWomeii's Association,

Students'ntern«tionalAssociation, and thcGraduate Students'ssociation.

JoAnn Trail, IFA Coordinator,was prescntcd a tribute for her

inspiration "in bringing the world

closer together." Trail, who wantsto continue thc InternationalAfternoon of Culture, Costume,and Cuisine as an annual event,says that Americans are just as

much a part of the internationalscene as everyone else.

But like most people they taketheir culture for granted.

Farmhouse Fraternity hosted the secondOpen Mike Night of the semester on Sat,,March 4. Approximately 50 people attend-ed the event to watch local performers pre-sent a wide array of talents.

Fatti Crow, Music of the Times co-chair,wanted to thank Farmhouse for "letting uscome." Crow said that they wanted to haveOpen Mike night at Farmhouse in order "tobroaden our bases and reach out to theGreek community."

Jeremy Chase and Joyce Mansisidor,hosts for the night, introduced the openingact of saxophonist Sean Wilson and key-boardist Eric Cannavaro. "This is a funky,smooth piece,'" said Wilson, soloing on asoprano saxophone to a jazzy piece with aLatin beat.

The second tune brought Cannavaro tothe keyboard to accompany Wilson to theBryan Adams song, "Everything I Do."

"This last song, we just screw around, dowhat we do best," Wilson said. The duothen proceeded with a jazzy, popularsounding piece, complete with solos andimprovisations.

Mansisidor then introduced Jamie andlan "with no last names." "We'e gonnawing this first song," said Ian. "Ijustlearned it off of the 'Pulp

Fiction'ound-'rack."

On guitar, Ian accompanied Jamie,a vocalist with a natural voice and effort-less style, who sang about a preacher man.

"This next song I wrote for Jamie to singspecifically," Ian said.

Ar'terwards, Ian asked for another handfor Jamie, as it was her first time singing.The last song, "for Lindsey," took on arelaxed, foot-tapping story form.

Eli Gibler, guitarist, then performed "asong I put together this morning." "I don'have a name for this, so I'l just start," saidGibler. Basically a piece of improvisation,the guitarist displayed a few of the differ-

ent and technical things one can do on aguitar.

Scott Wimer then took the stage to reciteoriginal poetry. "This first one will tell youabout me," Wimer said, proceeding torecite "Citizen of Now." He wrote his nextpoem, "Answers," while working in themiddle of a novel.

Wimer's third poem, thoughts from awoman's point of view, was written duringa poetry workshop. The poet's last andfavorite poem, "The Prologue to theInnkeeper's Tale," combined both rhythmand rhyme.

Guitarist Simeon Hein took the spotlight,starting off with an original piece,"Bumblebee Rag." Hein's second song,"March of the Lost Piper," a Celtic song,had a light and airy sound.

The third song was Hein's impression ofwhat it is like to stay up late in college.The last song, "Merrily Kiss the Quaker,"was a "more traditional" Celtic song.

John Priest, guitarist, was not really sureif he was doing a "comedy act or guitaract."After an introduction about the bars inMoscow, Priest took to the harmonica toplay the blues.

Priest then sang a sweet, soft ballad byLyle Lovett, all the while tuning his guitar."Ifsomeone asks you what you did lastnight, you can say you listened to a guytune his guitar!" Priest said.

LXk&sst+l&csTHE ARGON/tUT 2s1hesday, March F, 1995

ac arne y s owing a e ar ungAntonio Gonzalessr

This week at the HartungTheatre, will be showing BlackCo»iedy, a farce by Peter Shaffer.

Black Comedy is set in 1967London. As the show opens,Brindsley Miller is expectingimportant company. An art-col-lecting millionaire interested inBrindsley's work and the father ofBrindsley's new fiancee are com-ing to meet Brindsley to "checkhim out.n

In order to impress the expectedvisitors, Brindslcy and his fiancee,Carof, have "borrowed" furriiturcfrom their neighbor, Harold, whois away on vacation, for Harold'santiques are much more impres-sive than Miller's junk shoppieces. They realize they arc tak-ing a big risk in taking the furni-ture, because if Harold ever foundout, there would be hell to pay.However, hc is not duc back untilthe next day. Of course, nothingquite works out as well as isplanned, and Brindsley's schemetakes a downward turn whenHarold comes home early.

The title Black Comedy comesfrom its use of the reverse conven-tion of light. When the play opens,Brindsley and Carol are preparingfor their guests late Sundayevening. The characters can see,but the stage is black. The clinchercomes when there is a power cut atBrindslcy's place and the lights onstage go on. The reverse conven-tion allows the audience to see theaction and characters on stage, butthe characters cannot see eachother, and "are in the dark."

Bruce Brockman, Chairman ofthe Theatre Department, hasdesigned the set. Brindsley lives ina converted apartment in an oldVictorian mansion that he and hisprevious girlfriend, Clea, havemade into an artist's studio wheretheir copies of famous pop

artists'orks

are displayed.Stcphanie Miller, an MFA stu-

dent in design, designed the cos-tumes. They help to reflect boththe moneyed, the debutante, Caroland her father Colonel Melkett,and the pop-cultured. BetweenBrindsley with his Beatle bangsand Clea with her plastic dress andwild leggings we find Brindsley'scomic struggle. Miller has won theAmerican College Theatre Festivalaward for Best Set Design for twoyear in a row, and will be corn-peting in the Nationals at theKennedy Center in April.

Carey Gibbar plays Brindsley.Gibbar recently won the award asbest partner in the irene Ryan act-—ing competition for AmericanCollege Theatre Festival. Hc waspartnered with acting candidateKelly Quinnctt who won theRyans. They both will be going tothe Kennedy Center to competenationally.

Gabrielle Korten, who playsCarol, has been seen in severalHartung shows. She is an MFAstudent in Acting in her secondyear. She starred as Mary in TheSecret Garden and played Rose in

Dancing at Lughnasa last semes-ter. Last year she played Mcg in ALie of the Mind on thc Hartunghtagc and Anna in The Baltimore'lVallz on thc Collclte stage.

Kortcn grew up in New YorkCity and was a finalist in theCircle Repertory acting competi-iion in 1988, She studied televi-=ion acting techniques with anactor from Guiding Light in 1989,tnd worked with a theatre group in

Amsterdam in 1991.Kortcn com-.llctcd a professional actor traininglrograrn in North Carolina beforeoing to Amsterdam.This is director Kclscy

Road losses give Ul sixth seed in BSC tourneynan ttckles

Call it league parity, mediocrity,home-court advantage, road woes,or any other excuse that may seemapplicable. The results are thesame.

The Montana schools were toomuch for the Idaho Vandals awayfrom the Palouse as UI was swepton the road last weekend in NCAABig Sky men's basketball action.

The two losses marked the end ofthe Big Sky regular season, leavingIdaho with the sixth seed in theBSC Tournament, its lowest seed-ing since 1987, and a 5 p.m.Thursday .matchup with third-seed-ed Montana State. Boise State andIdaho State meet in the other firstround matchup Thursday.

Weber State will host the annualtourney in Ogden, Utah and receivea first round bye along with secondseeded Montana. The Wildcats willface the lowest remaining seed intheir Friday semifinal clash whilethe Grizzlies host Thursday's otherfirst round winner. Both semifinalswill be aired live on Prime SportsNorthwest.

The Big Sky Tournament winnerwill receive the league's only berthinto the NCAA Tournament. TheVandals, which have won their firsttournament game each of the laststx years, will have a rocky road totravel if they hope to make theirfirst trip to the Big Dance since1990.The UI crew will have to winthree straight games in threestraight nights to reach the NCAAs,a feat it has never accomplished,SATURDAY

A poor shooting night was thedifference in Saturday's 80-64defeat at the hands of Big Sky rivalMontana.

The Grizzlies outshot the Vandals47 percerit'to 39 percent from thefield but more importantly held ahuge advantage at the free throwline where they made 24 of 32shots compared to Idaho's 12-23effort. Every time the Vandal-5made a run the shooting well went

TheBobcats built a 45-25 lead by half-time and Idaho got no closer than19 in the second half, that afterMark Leslie's three-point play lessthan two minutes into the secondhalf.

The Bozeman school dominatednearly every catergory on the statsheet. Montana State shot a scorch-ing 56 percent from the field, can-ning 34 of 61 shots. Again theVandals had problems at the chari-ty stripe, connecting on just 3-7foul shots. Idaho was also outre-bounded 33-28 and turned the ballover 17 times compared to just 11by Montana State.

Reserve guard Todd Spike led theVandals with a career-high 12points. Leslie was the only otherVandal in double figures, finishingwith 11 points.

Nico Harrison led a balancedoffensive attack by the Bobcats,scoring a game-high 16 points tolead four Bobcats in double figures.IDAHO (56)

Black Widows port,ray women's side of rugbyDamon BarkdullStaff

Adreniline flows rapidly throughtheir bodies, as they focus theirintensity-filled eyes on the ball car-rier. Slam! %'ith a sudden burst ofenergy and momentum they knockdown the ball carrier —the masscollision leaves the delirious ballcarrier in utter surprise.

The sport is rugby.Contrary to many preconceived

ideas about rugby, the sport isplayed by women as well as men.No one examplifies a rugby teambetter than the Black Widows, thcUniversity of Idaho women's rugbyteam.

Rugby, considered by some to bea violent sport, is described by theBlack Widows as being a veryphysical sport with little violence.

"With the techniques we use it'a lot less violent then football,"noted Aimee Quesnell, President ofthe Black Widows. "You don't goaround pounding people with yourhead. We teach proper tackling."

"Of all the sports I'e everplayed, rugby has to be the most

joRDAN FROM PAGE 14

physically demanding," BlackWidow coach Jason Stenzel said,"You don't get time outs unlessyou knock your teeth out or you'ebleeding."

Although rugby may not be asviolent as football, it certainly isn'without injuries. In a recent confer-ence game Idaho's Beth Huber suf-fered a broken nose which left herwith a huge shiner.

"I was heading down to pick upthe ball, and I don't know if theother girl saw me, but the side ofher head hit my nose," Huber said,".Actually there wasn't a lot ofblood, but it didn't feel too good."

"This game is not violent, but it isphysical —there's a big difference.I was first told that it was an orga-nized game of 'smeer the queer,'"Huber said, smiling.

Stenzel, who has coachedwomen's rugby for 2 years, hadexperience as a player until he rup-tured a disc and could no longerplay. The coach of the BlackWidows and current graduate stu-dent at the Ul began playing rugbyin 1990 and notes that he still islearning the game himself.

"When I got hurt I began coach-ing both the men's and women'teams, but the women didn't haveas much support as the men, so Idecided to become full-time coachof the Black Widows," Stenzelsaid, "I'm still new to the game, soI read books and talk to othercoaches to make myself moreknowledgable."

The ASUI gives little money tothe team, so most of the team'sfunding comes from team fees andtheir own pocket.

"Anyone can come play, but wcrealize that college students don'have much money, so we do thebest that we can," UI assistantcoach and team co-founder SonyaLenzi said, "The money goes reallyquick."

Although the team niay be under-funded, they have had success overthe past couple of seasons, includ-ing a 22-5 win over border rivalWSU earlier this season.

Many of the players on the teamhave a hard time explaining therough sport they play. Take forinstance freshmen soccer playerTheresa May, who has a difficult

task in telling herfriends whatrugby is all about

"They don'

ask a lot of ques-tions about thegame," May said.

A large portionof the members onthe team play thegame of rugby forthe friendship, andnot Just for thephysical workout.

"Some of mybest friends are onthe team, and youreally get to knowthem on roadtrips," Lenzi said.

"You even makeaqucaintanccs onother teams,because unlike the Joa Harrisonguys we " " Christie Hartman passes the ball back to Shara

Stolze in a Monday evening practice.tions off thefield," Huber said, rugby, just bc sure not to voice

For all you Ward Cleavers out your opinion in front of the Blackthere who think that women should Widows. Chances are, they'd givestay home and cook, and not take you a whopping you woufdn't I'r-part in any physical sports such as

the play of athletes. I have realizedthat it takes a lot of time, as well asability, to even make it to the col-lege level and even more to make itto the professional plateau.

To say that someone is the best,is to say that those under him werenot on the same level, but withoutthese people to compete againstthey wouldn't have ever been ableto put themselves to that level inthe first place.

To those of you who sit aroundand wonder why some of these

TRACK+FROM PAGE 14

people are in the pros, the answerlies in that question itself. You aresitting there asking the question,while they'e out there putting intheir time and giving you someoneto put down.

There are people who excel atsports and people who don', butthe fact remains that if everyonebrought the same tools to the game,it would be boring to watch.Jordan, Magic, and Bird set thestage for the '80s, with Shaq,Penny, Grant Hill and Chris

Webber making their own impres-sion in the '90s,

These athletes are following thegreats that came before them and topick one out as the best is illogicaland degrading to the men thatplayed before them. All the greatsthat have played have brought theirown image to the game and eachhas made the game better in someway, so to pick just one as thegreatest that ever lived would belike giving credit where creditwasn't due.

time of 23.82 in the 200-meters onFriday, broke both the meet andKibbie Dome record and provi-sionally qualified her for theNCAA Indoor Championships inboth events.

Heidi Bodwell, Jill Wimer, andAngie Mathison lived up to expec-tations for the Vandals during theIndoor Championships. Bodwellcame away with a fourth placefinish in the long jump while JillWimer placed second in the shotput, as did Angie Mathison in thegrueling 5000-meter run. TheVandals will now begin preparingfor the outdoor season which offi-cially begins April 1 at the CougarInvitational in Pullman.

Letters to the EcHiorBigotry alive andkicking

Irony is truly wasted on the igno-rant. Scott Cartwright, NatalieShapiro's Valentine's article wentstraight over your head and yourresponse only proved her point.Natalie took the statements with

which homophobic heterosexualscommonly make their prejudicesknown and substituted in "hetero-sexuals" for "homosexuals" as thesubject. She did this specifically tolampoon these kinds of statementsand to show how ridiculous, offen-sive and bigoted they really are.

Your claim to not be homophobicis seriously discounted by everysentiment you expressed in yourletter. You also show a forntidablelack of understanding of not only

gay issues but other minority andwomen's issues as well.

Unfortunately, wc live in a soci-ety in which homophobia, sexism,racism and all other forms of big-otry and intolerance are alive and

kicking. These things manifestthemselves in hiring, firing, and

promotional practices all the time.Most people want, like you do, to

be judged in the workplace and allother arenas on their merits, and notto be discriminated against becauseoftheir race, color, sex, creed, orsexual preference. Americansenjoy legal protection from the firstfour types of discrimination butlegal protections from the last donot exist. The dominant problemwith discrimination is not, as yousaid (but would be hard pressed toprove) white men being passedover in favor of gays, minoritiesand women, it is the reverse. (Takea good look around you if you trulydoubt it.) Gays, especially, do nothave recourse when they lose theirjobs, their homes, and their childrenbecause of others'rrational fearand hatred towards them. Manyhave lost their lives for the samereason.

That's why gay and human rightsactivists have to work so hard atraising public awareness of theseissues. Your objections to theirdoing so reminds me of things Iused to hear a lot more often than I

do these days about women andAfrican-Americans, like; "Blackpeople won't have any problems aslong as they stay in their place anddon't go around getting uppity."and "I'm not a misogynist, I just

can't stand those feminist bitchesgoing around agitating for equalrights all the time." But maybethose statements describe the wayyou feel about minorities andwomen as well as Ms. Shapiro'sarticle described the way you feelabout homosexuals. If so, andjudging from what I'e seen ofyour intelligence so far, I don'think you have to worry too muchabout less qualified people beatingyou out for jobs and promotions.They may be a little hard to find,even for the most ardent supportersof affirmative action.—Roxane George

Budgetamendmentmisrepresented

I applaud Chris Miller for hisefforts in protecting interests of thestudents here at the University ofIdaho. However, in his last editori-al he may have missed some perti-nent facts concerning the federalgovernment's role in the direct stu-dent loan program,

Fact number 1: It is completely

false and inaccurate to report that acritical aspect of the BalanceBudget Amendment is to eliminatethe federal government's role inpaying the interest on student loans.This is simply not true.

Number 2: Several studies,including one in 1993by theCongressional Research Service, allconcluded that cost savings wouldnot inherently materialize fromconversion to direct governmentlending and warned that, if the gov-ernment could not operate the loanprogram as efficiently as the privatesector, the program would generatefinancial loss.

Number 3: Over the past tenyears, the Department ofEducation's administrative andmanagerial weaknesses have beendocumented by the Officeaf theInspector General, the General

Accounting Office, theCongressional Budget Office, andnumerous Congressional oversightcommittees. The previous attemptby a government agency to directlyadminister a student loan programfailed. The Federally InsuredStudent Loan program was phasedout in 1976 when it became evidentthat the program was very poorlymanaged and default rates hadsoared.

The final and most important factis that a leading proponent of theBalanced Budget Amendment isSen. Larry Craig, who is a farmerASUI President and University ofIdaho graduate. I can assure all ofthe students that Sen. Craig wouldonly want the best for the studentshere at the University of Idaho.—Damon Darakjy

making changes, and we need your help to do it.As you can tell, something weird is going on—rather than

trying to guess what you want, we'e asking you. We have

some ideas of what our readers would like, but to put it blunt-

ly, we'e not sure. So, we'e asking.What we'l be doing is stopping students in the middle of

campus and asking them what they want to see from the

h-.gonaut. We want to know what you think of the paper now,

if you like it, would recommend it to a friend, hate it, or want

to see more movie reviews. Anything is fair game, though

v e'd prefer ideas designed to help improve the product.First, you'l notice this opinion page is not hiding in the

n.iddle of the paper. We'e moved it to the back page for a

few reasons. One, it shows the students'oice where it should

be—accessible. Two, it offers an interesting dynamic between

front page news and back page opinion —we'l be able tooffer you facts up front and commentary at the back. Three,the user-friendly format gives the reader more editorial text. Ifyou like it (or hate it), let us know.

Next enters electronic access via Electric Response, a new

department designed to offer student interaction that's fastand furious. This will be a primary forum for students sharing

personal responses to issues that affect them, and will be an

excellent barometer for administrators. Electric Response will

offer graphical representation of student opinions, as well asdirect quotes. Just remember to leave your name, phone and

student ID number so we can give you credit for your wisewords —if you'e not willing to put your name on it, we won'

print it. (!fyou don't wish to be quoted, please indicate yourpreference; we will respect that wish.)

Today's answers represent random person-to-person inter-views conducted by staff reporter Adam Gardels; the rest willbe done on-line. If you'e not contacted personally (and evenif you are), we hope you will drop us an electronic line tooffer a suggestion that will improve your paper.

Another Argonaut adjustment lies within the Nation/World

page. Our commitment to covering news beyond the realm ofthis campus remains strong, but our presentation is lacking.To rectify this, look for a new page dedicated to quick briefslocated on page two. It'l feature campus, nation, and worldbriefs that will keep the reader informed on this microcosmwe call Earth. Of course, more important national stories thatare related to student life will find their way into larger storiesas they come up.

Last, we are working on a few all-out investigative reports;watch the front page.

While our staff is pounding the pavement and asking forfeedback, know that we'e making a sincere effort to improveon the Argonaut, and if you talk, we'l listen. —Chris Miller

y roommates and I justgot the full cable setup...all fifty something

channels of it. I am stunned at allof the shows that arc on there!Flashbacks to my childhood keeprunning through my mind when-ever I flip on the set. It is becom-

ing addicting. There are somegreat shows in re-runs now, someof my favorites. From FantasyIsland to The Love Boat, I am inseventh heaven. Of course Ihaven't gotten anything done, butI am confident that as soon as thenovelty wears off I will get backinto the swing of things.

One of the real hazards of cableisn't the vast amount of shows tochoose from, it is the fact thatmost of those shows are verycheesy. On The Love Boat theother day, there was a dance num-

ber with all of the dancers wearingspangled leg warmers. I got amajor attack of the willies justwatching it. Mostly because I

probably thought those leg warm-ers were pretty cool when I sawthem for the first time fourteenyears ago. And also because Iwore leg warmers fourteen yearsago, ackl

I also had a crush on EricEstrada from CHiPs. Watchingthis show this morning, I can'remember why. Talk aboutcheesy.'hat a fake smile, badlines, and ugly clothes. Those hor-rible polyester jogging suits with

JenniferSwift

the white stripes down the armsand legs were prominently fea-tured. I think I owned one ofthose, and was pretty proud of ittoo. That and the Nikes with thered swoosh and blue on the soles.I almost wish I had kept some ofthose things, kept them in somesort of time capsule of bad taste, Iwould have put them next to theshoelaces with the hearts on them.

I also happened to catch NameThat Tune while drinking mymorning pot of coffee. Wow, thathost, whatever his name was,looked almost creepy. His hairwas perfect, his teeth were perfect,he even had the perfect amount ofwrinkles that made him look dis-tinguished. I think he was a robot.I also think they all got togetherand picked the absolute worstsongs ever composed to test thecontestants. All of those hokeytunes from way back when werepretty funny. I especially liked itwhen the woman had to sing inorder for the contestants to get thesong title. Gcez, she was good!

I do love watching the old re-runs af Saturday Night Live fromthe John Belushi and Gilda Radner

days. That was funny stuff. Therehas been good people on the show

since then but not a whole castlike the old days. I will never for-

get Rosanne Rosannadanna's dis-

cussion on the different types ofboogers on their newscast. Thatwas better than Seinfeld at hisbest. And who can forget Dougand Wendy Whiner? If you havenever seen that sketch before it isworth planting your butt in frontof the Comedy Channel for theweekend just to see them. ClassicSNL.

Another benefit of expandedcable is O.J. 24 hours a day. Livebroadcasts of thc trial, stimulatingcommentary from experts, inter-views with the niece of the womanwho once saw O.J.jogging with-out his shirt on, the ex-girlfriendof the guy who was killed withNicole Simpson, and on and onand on. If one channel isn't cover-ing it, chances are that three orfour others are so you can catch itthere and not miss a thing. What arelief. I knew I was missing out onthe really important parts of thetrial without Court TY.

Yes, all of these choices can beoverwhelming and I am a littleworried that my taste in clotheswill take a turn for the worse, but I

am rationalizing all the TV watch-

ing by telling myself we only getit for free for two months. Afterthat, it's back to current TV showsand no more Tattoo.

Dean's list chances thwarted

Defeat of balanced budget amendment lamentable and stupid

A s many of you know, thebalanced budget amend-ment, after sailing through

the House of Representatives, fellone vote shy of passing the Senate.

Although it concerns me that wehave to go to such lengths to rein inspending, it seems the amendmentwas the only way to de-politicizethe budgeting process. The amend-ment's defeat is a sad statement afcw senators have chosen to send.

After all, what did the senatorswho voted against the amendmenthave to lose? If it had passed, itwould have been sent to the statesfor ratification. The problem is thatthese nay-sayers fear entitlementcuts will have to be made and theywill lose votes. Entitlement cutswill have to be made —along witheverything else. It's inevitable, Weknow big government does notwork. It stifles individualism, cre-ativity and initiative. Look at whathappened to communism.

RussAright

Our national debt is out of controland nearing $5 trillion, according toFriday's Spokesman-Review. Everyyear, we add $250 billion to thenational debt because Crnigresscannot control its spending.

There is concern out there thatamending the Constitution is adrastic measure just to ensure a bal-anced budget. I agree —to anextent. There must be a better wayto hold politicians accountable fordeficit spcndirig.

The problem is there are toomany back-room deals made in aurcapitol. For instance, a recent con-cern of the Republican Party wasthat farm-state Republicans have

been cutting deals with urban-areaDemocrats, saying, "Ifyou voteagainst a cut in farm subsidies, I'lvote against cuts for inner-city pro-grams."

This is but one example of all thepositioning taking place just sopoliticians can say, "Look, I savedmy district from severe budget cutsfrom that evil federal budget slash-ing going on back in D.C."In thepolitician's view, this is what getsthem rc-elected. Never mind thatthe national debt looms more andmore threatening every year.Uncontrolled spending has ta stop.

The budget amendment was oneway to do this. Nobody wants tosee their subsidies cut. Many stu-dents are up in arms now becauseCongress is about to ask us to paythe interest on subsidized loanswhile we go to school. Estimateshave it that thc average student willhave an extra $3,000 tacked on tohis debt when hc graduates. I'm

willing to pay this price as long aseverybody else—Social Securityrecipients, welfare recipients, cor-porations, etc.—are willing to paythe same price .

Interest payments on the nationaldebt are staggering: 14 out of every100 tax dollars go to pay for theinterest alone. Lct's do some basicmath. Say you'vc taken out a loanfor a car. It's quite easy to figurcout that the more you borrow, thcmore interest you pay.

Well, mis amigos, the federalgovernment is borrowing more andmore. Our public debt is increasingdaily. This means interest paymentswill increase as well. What happenswhen the payments reach a pointwhere they account for 30 percentof federal outlays? Or 40 pcrccnt?lt will mean economic chaosbecause investors, who finance thedebt by purchasing savings bonds,will lose confidence in the govern-ment's ability to pay back thc debt

at all, let alone the interest.Investors will stop purchasingbonds, the government won't beable to finance the deficits, and dra-conian measures will have to betaken.

We have the opportunity to headall of these problems off at the passby forcing Congress to make cuts.Amending the Constitution couldbring thc judicial process into play,providing a means through whichcuts can bc made without the politi-cized praccss which inhabits everybudget decision Congress makes.We either fix the problem now orwe risk the economy failing andlosing the means to fix the deficits.

lt's time for common sense. Ifvoters have lost the ability to holdCongress accountable, it's time weheld them legally accountable. Ifyou'rc religious, pray Bob Dolewill bc able to resurrect the bal-anced budget amendment. If you'enot rcligiaus, just hope like hell.
