Idaho loses $14.2 millionby Sam Garcia

the Arbiter

A s of August, 2000, thefiHouse AppropriationsCommittee approved a bill thatcould deny American studentsand schools federal funds forkey areas of educationalreform.Under the House bill, money

specifically intended to turnaround the lowest performingschools or to improve the condi-tions of disintegrating, some-times dangerous, outdatedschool buildings, would nolonger be issued to states forthis support.States would lose at least

$2.9 billion' requested byPresident Clinton to help localschools improve the basic skillsof disadvantaged students andresearch-based strategies thathave been pJ:0ven to improveteaching and learning.For Idaho, this would mean

an annual loss of at least $14.2million for educational institu-tions.Although a final decision is

yet to be made, a comparison ofthe President's budget proposalto the pending House biUwouldnationally and locally mean:

-Some $690 million less toimprove teacher quality andrecruit teachers into 'high-poverty school districts. Idahowould lose $3.4 million ofthose funds.

-About$1.75 billion less tohire more high-quality teachersin order to reduce overcrowdedclassrooms, which would jeop-ardize approximately 29,000already hired teachers in cur-rently overcrowded classroomsand deny students the benefitsof smaller classrooms. Idahowould have $8.1 million less to

deal with these issues thatwould place 133 already hiredteachers into overcrowdedclassrooms.

-Approximately $416 millionless would be available to helpstudents in high poverty areasmeet the academic standardsand learn the basic skillsexpected of all Students. InIdaho, there would be$1,012,044 less to apply to.these goals in education.

U.S. Secretary of EducationRichard W. Riley feels the billfails to support Idaho's effortsto make real education reform.He said, "Even though Idaho isworking to implement impor-tant reforms to help studentslearn to new high standards, byrefusing to provide needed fed-eral support, the Congressionalmajority's message is clear-schools and colleges shouldfend for themselves. The presi-dent has proposed a balancedbudget that makes theinvest-ments needed for better schoolswhile also demanding morefrom them. I urge Congress tovalue the efforts of parents,teachers, students and everyonewho cares about improvingeducation in Idaho. Congressshould fully fund thePresident's proposal to make areal difference in the success ofour children- we owe everyyoung person that kind of sup-port." .Riley also noted that not

only would this bill effect stu-dents opportunities for better-ing their academic skills andteachers advantages to improvethe quality of their classes andteaching abilities. And, ifpassed, the Republican-basedbill could have an effect onentire communities. -Rileynotedhundreds of thousands ofworking parents across the

country will have to continueworrying about what their kidsare doing after school sincethere would not be as muchaccess to extended learningopportunities in safe, drug-free,environments at 21st CenturyCommunity Learning Centers.Congress is virtually guar-

anteeing that students attend-ing classes in 5,000 of the

expressed reservations aboutcontinuing funding for pro-grains that they believe havenot proved effective.Citing concern for protect-

ing local control over the fate ofeducation, GOP appropriatorscriticize the President's propos-als for new national tests, schoolconstruction aid and corps ofvolunteer reading tutors.

Rick Santorum and other partydignitaries centered on long-standing Republican aims ofreducing federal involvement ineducation, offering merit pay forteachers, higher curriculumstandards and scholarships forinner-city students.Meanwhile, representative

Peter Hoekstra and HouseRepublican leaders launched anew assault on federaleduca-tion programs challengingPresident Clinton to help themeliminate wasteful spending.'The consensus," Hoekstra

said, "was that giving parentsand teachers more control iswhat really works in education, ,not increased federal spending.Now is the time to start peelingback the layers to find outwhich of these programs areworking:'This bill falls $2.9 billion

short of the President's budgetrequest and is even lower thancurrent funding in some cases.This year there is a greatopportunity to make wiseinvestments in education thatcan help schools nationwidebecome' more prosperous andsecure. However, because theappropriations bill has .beenpassed by both the House andSenate majorities, our nation's'schools and families lack sup-port for their educational prior-ities.,Nonetheless, President

Clinton is currently committedto vetoing this' bill andCongress must continue thedebate and come to a decisionby October ist, 2000 when thefiscal year begins.

Behavior and aptitude differ-ences between boys and

girls, known as "gender differ-ences," are biologically based,according to Joann Deak, Ph.D.,a guest lecturer who spoke tomore than 170 educators, coun-selors, and parents at BSU onMonday night, Sept. 18.Dr. Deak began her talk by

acknowledging a debatebetween the "nature vs. nur-ture" arguments. This is thedebate about whether stereo-typical differences between menand women are based on biolo-gy or are learned. These differ-ences become the rationaliza-tion for issues concerning gen-der equity.It was clear that Deak is on

the "nature" side. "Gender isbimodal," she stated, meaning

among the differences createdby estrogen and testosterone isthat females are five times morelikely to get Alzheimer's diseasebecause of estrogen.She stated that sodium

senators, he said he did not meanthe comment negatively. He addedthat only two male sports generateprofit after cost. No women's sportgenerates profit.Bleymaier said the theory

behind BSU's addition of women'ssports is to, '~dd opportunities forwomen, not eliminateopportuni-ties for men."'We don't want to eliminate

these new sports is cost. The IdahoState Board of Education has setaside some money to grant to uni-versities for gender equity, but cur-rently BSU does not receive any ofthat money.

He also told student leadersthat the local media latched onto the story before official finalfigures were released for lastfiscal year's financial report.Those' figures are not expectedto become official until October.Title IX regulations were a

third facet of Bleymaier'sreport. Title IX is a federal reg-ulation requiring gender equityin sports. In order to comply,the ratio of men's to women'ssports must be equal to theratio of male to female studentsattending the. university.Currently, about 54% of BSUundergraduates are female.Therefore BSU has not com-plied with the gender equityportion of the regulation.However, a university which

PoliticalScienceprofessor DavidAdler will discuss church and stateissues including the San Antonio, Texas football pray case at 'The

First Amendment and Religion:What Does Caesar Owe God?" thisFriday. .Adler will talk about the separation of church and state constitu-

tional establishment clauses in principle and application. Students arewelcome to join in the discussion forum. The American Civil Libertiesclub of BoiseState University will sponsor the lecture.ACLU club president Nate Peterson said he will address issues

regarding the separation of church and state, particularly the recentruling on prayer in athletic events.Peterson said a separation of churchand state in school sponsored activity is needed.'There wouldn't be any programming like this if there wasn't a

purpose behind it," Peterson said.Constitutional experts say educational institutions are a product of

the state, thus, the First Amendment does indeed applywith the excep-tion of the private schools such as Rick's college and BYU.They saynot only does the amendment apply in the classrooms but also in thefield.Peterson said students who attend public schools need to under-

stand the abolishment of the churchin schools and in athletic events.'There is a place for religion, but not in the public classroom,"

Peterson said.Adler teaches Constitutional law and issues and the Bill of Rights

at Idaho State University.He is the author of several books on the top-ics related to the Constitution and is a member of the speakers' bureauof the Idaho Humanities Council:The event is co-sponsored by the ACLU of BSU and the ACLU of

Study shows sex improves lifeby Corey HaDn

Newresearch suggests sexmay actually keep your

heart healthy, increase yourimmunity to disease and mighteven make you physicallystronger. Does your partnerneed any more convincing?Scientists at the University

of Tubingen's Institute ofMedical Psychology andBehavioral Neurobiology inGermany recently studied 51men between the ages of 20 and4<7.Of that group, the men whohad sex 16 or more times permonth had stronger hearts andlower average blood pressurethan guys of the same fitnesslevel and age group who hadsex eight times or fewer permonth.Their theory: By giving

guys a way to manage day-to-day difficulties and reducing

tiit_.',.

"I don't know where I would bewithout sex," said Todd

Mytkowicz, a senior computerscience major. "I defJnitely feelthat it's made improvements in

many parts of my life."stress, it also helped them stayin better shape by providingthem with one more source ofaerobic activity - namely sex;Commenting on the study,

Patti Britton, a sexologist basedin Los Angeles, said shebelieves that sex can be a fruit-ful way of burning calories andis often overlooked as a form ofexercise."Sex can be a vigorous and

strenuous exercise," Brittonsaid. "It engages the neurologi-cal pathways and blood flow,which depend totally on thecardiovascular system."Sexual intercourse, includ-

ing foreplay, can burn up to 180calories an hour, according tothe American HeartAssociation. That's more thanplaying a game of touch foot-ball and more than twice the

energy used during moderateweight training."I read 'somewhere that you

burn a ton of calories. It cer-tainly could be classified asexercise," said JoanneMontalbano, a senior biologymajor at Syracuse University.''Though I think some guysburn more calories by just star-ing at women's breasts alone."The only problem with these

results is that most people don'tengage in sex long enough toreap . the. cardiovascularrewards, said WilliamFitzgerald, a sex therapistbased in Santa Clara, Calif., andfounder of www.sexdoc.com."The average' foreplay is

only four minutes, while theaverage time from intromissionto ejaculation is 90 seconds," hesaid. ''That ain't enough time toget your heart and lungs atoptimum for more than so sec-

onds."·Fitzgerald did note, however,

that regardless of how longsexual activity lasts, it caninspire production of testos-terone, a major contributor tolean muscle gain, and can alsoimprove people's lives immea-surably."I don't know where I would

be without sex," said ToddMytkowicz, a senior computerscience major. "I definitely feel.that it's made improvements inmany parts of my life."

organization's stories and events covered by the media, even if .theymight not include large boats sinking in Lucky Peak or rock stars thatonly a thirteen-year-old could love.Media coverage for student organizations has many rewards. Public

recognition creates energy on campus for the organization and lets thec01?munityknow that BSU students are active in the Treasure Valley,The ever-challenging task of new member recruitment becomes lessdifficult when new students filled with energy come to get involved.More than anything else, public recognition fires a sense of validationand appreciation to organization members for everyone's collectivehard work. All these collected efforts do more when an educated andexcited public is informed about them. In the spirit of thePeterson/Wheatley Administration this year, I hope to form relation-ships with all student organizations and serve as a resource in con-necting them with media coverage.

Boise State's largest fraterni-ty just got larger.Eighteen men pledged

Kappa Sigma this fall. With 47members, it is the largest frater-nity on campus."This is a good year for all of

us," said Kappa Sigma PresidentSteve Steading.Rush' had a Greek theme

again this year, and Steadingsaid all the fraternities andsororities on campus workedtogether to make it a success.They combined activities tobring the men and womentogether and share the Greekexperience, he said. .Friday, Sept. 8, they shared a

barbecue at Julia Davis Park,extending an invitation to any-one who wanted to learn moreabout Greek brotherhood andsisterhood. They played volley-

ball, sat around, talked, and' atehamburgers and hotdogs.The fraternity also strength-

ened ties between currentKappa brothers and alumni.They went to the Broncos foot-ball game together on Sept. 9.Next on the Kappa Sigma

agenda is participation in theannual "Into the Streets" cam-.paign,to be held on Oct. 28.The fraternity's contribution tothis community service projectwill be to clean up Table Rock.Also next month they plan tohold a Halloween watch.'l\.nyone can come to this

one," Steading said, "and weusually have a lot of peopleturn out. This is where thebrothers and other helpers goto the North End near HarrisonBoulevard and help trick-or-treaters cross the streets."Mandatory meetings every

Sunday bring all the memberstogether to discuss upcoming

events and any concerns thatthey might have..Brotherhood means the "cre-

ation of lifelong friendships,and. a lifelong commitment,"according to the national 1993Chapter Principles Guide.Some famous members

Central Michigan head coachMike DeBord called Boise

State the best team the'Chippewas will face this year.The Chippewas also play

conference rival Toledo whobeat Penn State 240-6earlier inthe season.CMU lost to the 15-ranked

Purdue in their home opener48-0.Hiesman candidate Drew

Bress and the rest of Purdue'sfirst team played virtually thewhole game.The Broncos senior quarter-

back Bart Hendricks came outof the game in the early thirdquarter.BSU beat Central Michigan

47-10.What does this mean?It means that Hendricks and

Company deserve a lot morerespect than they are getting.While the Broncos improve

to 3-1, they just as easily couldbe 4-0 without' a disappointingfirst quarter against Arkansastwo weeks ago.But that is in the past and

'now Boise State must provethey are worthy of being in thetop 25 in the nation.A thirty-seven-point victory

away from the fiiendly confinesof Bronco Stadium, in a veryDirk Koetteresk, businesslikefashion goes Iilong way towardmaking a case for votes in the"top 25 polls. 'The 21,837 Chippewas fans

watched as BSU scored the firstpoints of the game. Hendrickscompleted a 17':'yard touch-

down to junior receiver BrianO'Neal to put the Broncos up 7-o with the extra point.Less than two minutes later

Boise State scored on aHendricks to sophomore JaySwillie to red-shirt freshmanDavid Mikell double reverse.Central Michigan blocked

the extra point attempt andBSU lead 13-0.With 7:25 left in the second

quarter CMU made a 35-yardfield goal following a rs-play640-yarddrive. The Chippewaswere on the board trailing 13-S,but would not score again untilfourth quarter.The Broncos answered

quickly.On a play where Hendricks

was almost sacked, the 1999Big West Offensive Player ofthe Year found senior tailbackDavy Malaythong on a shortpass who came upon a wide-open field and ran for a 56'"yardtouchdown. The single-playdrive lasted 21 seconds andBSU extended their lead 20-S.Boise State's defense stopped

CMU from gaining anyoffen-sive production.Later in' the second quarter

Hendricks called his own num-ber with a quarterback draw. ,The senior finished the game 'with ss-yardsrushing,On the next play Hendricks

faked a handoff to sophomoreBrock Forsey tricking theCentral Michigan defense.Hendricks got a big gain beforethe Chippewas realized wherethe pigskin was and stoppingthe sure-footed QB., Hendricks continued doingwhat was successful by runningthe option, calling his own

number before being downed atthe I-yard line.A pitch from Hendricks to

Forsey would cap an 8-play,67-yard drive as, the Centennialproduct stomped into the endzone. BSU went up by 24-points.The Broncos continued

their second quarter offensiveattack as Hendricks foundForsey in the backfield for aquick pass and Forsey ran infor an uncontested TO. Thistime it only took s-plays and 26seconds.The Broncos jumped out to

a 340-3halftime lead.BSU racked up an unbeliev-

able 299-yards in total offensein the first half.The Broncos started the

second half on their own 2-yard line and ground their waydownfield.Four minutes and fifty-three

for 195 yards and 3 touch-downs.BSU was able to take advan-

tage of Central' Michiganbecause the Chippewas playedmost of the game in mandefense, allowing the Broncosto burn the defense with bigplays.Head coach Dirk Koetter

spoke about the number of

points the Broncos were able toscore: "I'm not surprised, wecan definitely do this."With Hendricks out of the

lineup the Broncos seemedunable to add to the large lead.In the fourth quarter BSU

still hadn't moved the ball andsenior punter Jeff Edwards wasforced to punt.The Chippewas would not

let the Broncos totally dominatethem as they blocked theEdwards punt. The ball rolledback into the end zone andEdwards kicked the ball out ofthe end zone to prevent aChippewas touchdown, but theBroncos were penalized.Central- Michigan got the

ball on the BSU 8-yardline.CMU inched their way 5

yards, but was unable to punchthe ball into the end zone inthree downs.On fourth-and-goal the

Chippewas went for six points,but the Broncos denied andBSU took over at the s-yardline,Once again Boise State was

unable to produce a first downand was forced to punt.The Bronco defense blitzed,

but Central Michigan found anopen receiver and ran, 3 I yardsfor their first touchdown of thegame. CMU trailed 41-10., When the BSU offensereturned sophomore BJ. Rhodeentered at the quarterback posi-tion., Still the Broncos were notable to produce and were forcedto punt.The Bronco defense stepped

up to the plate and answered,Red-shirt freshman safety

Josh Comte intercepted CentralMichigan following fellow red-

shirt freshman and safety WesNurse's tip.But the second team offense

was unable to get a first down.Again the Bronco defense

stopped the Chippewas."I thought our defense got

board' out there a few timestoday," said Koetter. "I thoughtCentral Michigan did a goodjob of trying to attack us, but Ithink, our D was just toyingwith them." 'Boise State's offense finally

got rolling with a couple ofpass completions from Rhodeand some strong runs by seniortailback Aristotle Thompson.Thompson blazed' into the

end zone for BSU's seventhtouchdown of the afternoon.Calaycay missed his second

extra point of the game, but theBroncos scored the final pointsof the afternoon."I wish our twos (second

team) would have played better,especially our twos on Os(offense),"said Koetter. "Wefinally got that last one in. Thatwas a great effort. We had all, the excuses why we couldn'tplay well today and we did playwell. We're still going to haveto play four quarters one ofthese days but it wasn't today."Final, score BSU 47, CMU

road and win," said Koetter. "Itwasn't too many years backwhere we couldn't beat anybodyon the road: We'll take this anyday."

Pete's Player of the GameSenior quarterback Bart Hendricks came to Boise State notbecause BSU was his number on choice, but because his home

school University of Nevada opted not to offer. the Reno, Nev.native a scholarship. Big Mistake. So far this season BSU is 3-1,Nevada is 1-3.Hendricks was the 1999 Big West Offensive Player of the Year

and is a serious candidate for repeating. He is also an All-AmericaCandidate, as well as various top national quarterback awards.. The Graphic Design major is also a long-shot candidate for theReisman Trophy.Look for Hendricks to own virtually all the Bronco passing

Retraction spursacademic freedom

battle for

Researchers say journal caved to corporate pressure,timber giant undercut scholarship

by Carissa Wolfthe Arbiter

An academic law journalpublished scholarly

research criticizing the mis-deeds of multinational corpo-rations. In an unusual move, the'journal retracted the article,

The researchers - includingtwo Boise State University pro-fessors - called for tightermulti-national trade laws in a1998 volume of the Universityof Denver's' Denver Journal ifInternational Law and Policy.The authors used BoiseCas~ade as a case study to illus-, trate what they called a critical'need for the regulation of abu-sive practices by multinationalcorporations.Now, Boise Cascade claims

the article contained "a numberof untrue allegations," theDenver Journal maintains theresearch "was not consistentwith editorial standards," andthe authors, who concludedmultinational corporations inmany respects, operate abovethe law, are waged in a legalbattle to preserve their profes-sional creditability and academ-ic freedom.The journal published the

research of Donald 1. Smith andBoise State University profes-sors William A. Wines andMark A. Buchanan in thespring of 1998, only to publishan errata in a subsequent issue.The retraction, published in the, summer of 1998, notified read-ers that portions of the article"relating to Boise Cascade wereclearly inappropriate and

require elimination, revision orcorrection." .The retraction prompted

Smith, Wines and Buchanan tosue the University of Denverfor breach of contract anddefamation in .U.S DistrictCourt. "We believe in what weare doing and we are puttingour careers on the line," saidWines, a professor of legalenvironment and businessethics in the College ofBusiness and Economics atBoise State.In their suit, the authors also

claim the University of Denverretracted the article after buck-ling to legal threats from BoiseCascade Corp,"The (University of Denver)

apparently caved into pressure, from a global corporation thatforced its agenda. This came atthe sacrifice of the university'Sautonomy and the principle ofacademic freedom," said plain-tiff Donald Smith, Idaho fieldrepresentative for the conserva-tion group Alliance for theWild Rockies.Smith said he and, his co-

authors did not know about theretraction until almost ninemonths after it was published.Now, the researchers are leftwondering what and whocaused the censure of theirwork.

A critical analysis ofmultinationalcorporations

The authors' research called. for tighter regulation of

0" the international trade econo-t:, my and painted Boise Cascade~ as a typical multinational cor-tt poration that puts profits before~ people.~ The article, The Critical Need

For law &form to RegulaU thel:' ..4.busive Practices of~"'Transnational Corporatitms: The~ .. Illustrative Case cf Boise Cascade

Corporation in Mexico's CostaGrande and Elsewhere, is a criti-cal analysis of U.S.-based multi-national corporations and theexisting international legalmeans for regulating theirlabor, environmental and politi-cal processes. Boise StateManagement Professor MarkBuchanan said he and his co-authors concluded, "there's ageneral lack of an internationalregimen to enforce (multi-national corporate trade) stan-dards,"The authors' research' sug-

gests Boise Cascade continuedtimber operations in theMexican state of Gue!TCrOwith little concern for the socialturbulence fueled by the mas-sacre of 1'7 farm workers byMexican police officers in 1995.The murders, resulted in partover' timber extraction in. theregion, according to a humanrights group quoted in the arti-cle.'While there is much con-

cern with governmentencroachment on rights, there,is much more to be concernedwith by the abuse of humanrights by multi-national corpo-rations," Wines said of theresearch.Doug Bartels, spokesperson

for Boise Cascade, said the arti-cle, "read more like an opinionpiece" thanresearch, "I could goon all day about the (false alle-gations). There were so many inthere." Bartels declined an invi-tation to identity specific falseallegations.

'High risk' research

On Oct 8, 1999, The DenverJournal requested the arti-

cle be withdrawn from the on-line . sources Westlaw andLEXUS from the ambiguouserrata and an 87 word preparedstatement released by theUniversity of Denver Sept 13,Denver Journal editors and

University of Denver officialsremain tight-lipped about justwhy the article w~s retractedand yanked from electronicdatabases."You can go and look it up.

They pulled (the article) from(on-line scholarly databases)Westlaw and LEXUS - andpage 453 to page 515 is a blank,with no explanation for why thepages are missing," said Wines.The decision to remove the

article was made and imple-mented without the knowledgeor notification of theresearchers by University ofDenver, according to court doc-uments filed with the U.SDistrict Court by the plaintiffsAug,31."To have done that and not

even contacted us seemed veryinappropriate ... they never-even gave us a call," Smith said.According to the Complaint

and Demand for Jury Trial filedby the plaintiffs, the decision toremove the researchers' workwas prompted not on the basisof a defect in fact or scholar-ship, but because of pressurefrom Boise Cascade Corp. onthe University of Denver."It raises so many questions

about how this happened andwho made this happen. Thisisn't a question of scholarship,"Smith, said ..The plaintiffs say the case

centers on freedom of inquiryby university professors fromoutside influences on the con-duct and choice of topics fortheir research.'This is about freedom of

speech and the autonomy offree universities," Wines said.

Wines maintain the Universitydidn't provide an explanationfor the retraction.Warren Smith, spokesperson

for. the University of Denver,echoed the University's writtenstatement: 'We stand by ourdecision," He declined to givefurther comment due to thepending suit.In the statement, Paul Chan,

university counsel for theUniversity of Denver, said, 'Webelieve that this complaintshould be resolved through thejudicial process, not throughthe media," .Before filing the suit against

the University of. Denver,Buchanan, Smith and Winestried to find an explanation forthe retraction of their article.In a letter sent to Chan May 15and submitted as evidence inthe suit Aug. 31, Wines,Buchanan and Smith wrote,"Following communicationsand conversations with BoiseCascade Corporation and withyourself, we have not learnedwhich, if any portions of thearticle were false and/ or defam-atory," The authors furtherasked the University of Denverto "republish our article in itsoriginal. form and that it bemade available to the public,"In a response dated May 26,

Chan replied that theUniversity could not honortheir request because, "the arti-clewas not consistent with theeditorial standards of theUniversity." Chan wrote thatthe university stood by its deci-. sion, but did not elaborate onthe· reason or reasons for theretraction.The University of Denver

never questioned the scholar-ship of the research, Smith said,and hasn't provided any infor-mation 'why the article wasretracted, "It's as if Universityof Denver hoped the issuewould go unnoticed,"The plaintiffs. allege Boise

Cascade Corp. influenced theuniversity's decision to retractthe article.

A corporate hand inacademia?

"We don't know what hap-pened between Boise Cascade

and the University of Denver.But we do know that BoiseCascade played a role,"Buchanan said.Smith said they learned of

the retraction through BoiseCascade about nine monthsafter it was published. 'Wewere never notified of theretraction (by the journal) ...instead, sometime down theroad (the journal) was contact-ed by Boise Cascade and sud-denly it became an issue of edi-torial policy."Smith said the fact that Boise

Cascade knew about the retrac-tion "is because they had a handin it,"In the complaint, the plain-

tiffs allege, "... after the publica-.tion of the (article), theCorporation (Boise Cascade),through its executive officersand lawyers, began a campaignto force the university to with-draw the (article) from publica-tion. In particular, theCorporation threatened to file alawsuit against the University(of Denver) if the Universitydid not withdraw the (article)from publication ... "In a Sept. 20 interview,

Bartels of Boise Cascade toldThe Arbiter, "We (BoiseCascade) provided . theUniversity (of Denver) withquite a bit of data to substanti-ate the false accusations,". Bartels declined to cite specificfalsehoods or flaws in theresearch, but maintained the. article was "far from scholarly."

Bartels said following com-munication with the Universityof Denver, 'They made a judg-ment after they saw some facts.They saw the mistakes andapologized,"· He .said after theUniversity of Denver reviewedinformation Boise Cascade pro-vided, University of Denver. told Boise Cascade the articlewould be retracted.

Academic norms

Most academic journalsmaintain ::'11 exhaustive

peer review process whereresearch considered for publica-tion undergoes close scrutinyby other scholars in the field.The Denver Journal ofInternational lAW and Policy isno exception."If there were concerns

(about the research), theyshould have been addressedduring the editorial review,"Smith said.Wines said publication of

the article was not rushed andthe complaint notes that DenverJournal editors requested copies

of all footnotes to verify accu-racy. " (The publisher) had (thearticle) for nine months beforepublication," Wines said.The complaint further notes,

"The Denver Journal at all timesprior to the publication of the(article) complimentedProfessor Wines, ProfessorBuchanan and Mr. Smith on thescholarship and contents of the(article)," .Dr. Jonathan Knight, associ-

ate secretary with theAmerican Association ofUniversity Professors mWashington, nc. said it isunusual to retract an article andeven more unusual for ajournalto handle a retraction in themanner the University ofDenver did."I've never come across a sit-

uation where a journal hasannounced the retraction of apreviously published paperwithout announcing what theviews of the researchers are,"Knight said."The academic community

would expect the journal toindicate what discussion it hadwith the researchers concern-ing the article which the jour-nal had published." .Wines said, "It has become a

high risk behavior to write andresearch what affects corpora-tions. We are in a precariousposition (in academia)."Communication Professor

Ed McLuskie, said it is incredi ... bly rare to pull research, but"academic freedom ·is alwaysunder assault," He said thereduction in state funding touniversities and university sup-port of uncritical academicresearch has already threatenedscholars' autonomy and aca-demic freedom. He said schol-ars have to be outraged at "anyattempt..t0 muzzle academicfreedom.The retraction "is extremely

unsettling," said Dr. AlexFeldman, associate professor ofmathematics and president ofthe Boise State Faculty Senate.Feldman .said when a

researcher's findings or conclu-sions raise questions, a rebuttalis usually conducted in a schol-arly manner.Academics usually hash out

their scholarly disputes in pub-lic, either through journals orat conferences."Scholarly work is not about

pleasing people - it's aboutwriting down what you believe

tobe true even if it makes someuncomfortable," Feldman said.Boise State University

President Charles Ruchdeclined to address specifics ofthe pending case, but said,'Academic freedom is central towhat universities are about. ..the core values of our institu-tion allows students and facultyto pursue ideas - no matterwhere it takes them,"

Corporate norms"When multi-national corpo-rations can throw their

weight around, it chips at ourdemocratic society," Smith said.'We must have a society wheredemocratic ideals are respect-ed," .In an ideal world, academics

would operate unfettered by theinfluence of corporations,Smith said. But Wines notes,"The dominant social institu-tion is business."Bartels of Boise Cascade

said, 'We feel (the article) wasdamaging .. .it's regrettable itwas published in the first place."He said Boise Cascade has "notyet" decided if damages wouldbe sought for the publication ofWines, Smith and Buchanan'scritical analysis.Boise State University

COuncil Amanda Horton saidcorporations could try and holduniversities accountable. fordamages if defamation or disre-gard for the truth is proved onthe part of researchers whowork under the university •HOlton said researchers "canhave academic freedom ... butthere are limits," She said schol-ars "have to work within thebounds of the law."Buchanan, Smith and Wmes

maintain they practiced accept-ed scholarly practices.'TIley believe (the research

findings) are true, arid truth is adefense," Horton said.The authors hope their suitagainst the. University ofDenver will bring someanswers. They want tokDowwhy the Denper.JourTUllretract-ed .their work· They want toknow who influenced the deci-. -sion,McLuskie contends, "It's too

bad researchers have to investtheir own money to find outThat's the power of BoiseCascade," - John Threet con-tributed to this report.

People say that the most apa-thetic group of people are

in the age groups of 18-25.Wehave the lowest voter turnoutthan any other demographic.Because of this, politicians real-ly don't care about us. It is timeto let them know that we docare what they say and thatthey can no longer leave ourvoices out of the equation.Here at Boise State University,we have an excellent opportu-nity to MAKE our politicalleaders listen to us. We haveover 16,000 people on this cam-pus, all of voting age, and thatdoesn't even include the facultyand staff. On September 27, 28,and 29, there will be a chancefor students, faculty, and staffto register to vote in theupcoming elections. Pleasedon't walk by and ignore thepeople in the booths Thiswould only prove the statisticsare true. Let's show the peopleof Idaho that we are students,we 'vote, and we care.

I also wanted to let youknow that if you are interestedIn helping with this greatopportunity, there are ,severalplanning meetings you canattend. Please contact BrookSmith at 426-4813.

Ranta sorryexcuse

Jim Toweill's opinion in the"Rant" section of yourSept. 13 issue is the most

sorry excuse for a competentthought I have ever read. Thispiece is so outrageous, I don'teven know where to start, sowe'll go from-the top para-graph by paragraph.

Mr. Toweill's Complaint #1Received $53 fine for exces-

sive speed nmph over legalposted limit.

Response to complaint #1Drive the speed limit. The

law doesn't say "ssmph

Maximum speed, unless theroad is dry and there are no carswithin 400 feet". The law says35' Mph is the' maximum safespeed for the section of road inquestion, under ideal condi-tions.

Mr. Toweill's complaint #2

This citation will cost himeight hours of time at work, aninsurance rate adjustment anddriving points.

Response to complaint #2

If Mr. Toweill is going to dous all a favor and challenge theunfair and oppressive law's ofthe tyrannical city and stategovernments thanhe should beprepared to deal with the reper-cussions of his actions.

Mr. Toweill complaint #3

I have to pay the moneywhether I agree or not

Response to complaint #3

Don't pay it, go to jail.

Mr. Toweill Complaint #4

I am so far removed from thefrom the decision makingprocess that I'm more of a sub-,ject that a. citizen.

Response to Complaint#4

If you think I am wrong,then how do you explain thefact that I was able to tell scien-tists in 1964 (29 years before Iheard it announced on TV) thateverything ~ does have anenergy field. The announcermust have known that I hadbeen predicting this, if not,why did he use the word"Really?"The reason my prediction is

so important is because I wasnot a scientist, I did not knowanything about the physicalproperties of anything. Theonly thing I knew for certainwas that everything had tocome from nothing but whatev-er it is that space is. I knew that'there had to be a connectionbetween space and everythingthat existed. This means' thateverything can be traced backto space, including our mind.The question I can not answeris 'What came first, the body orthe (or a) mind?"There are some things that

anyone can know just has to betrue. For example: Space has tobe endless. No one can (truth:'fully) imagine space coming toan end. A physicist said that shecould imagine a conditionwhere nothing existed, noteven space, but by her ownadmission there would be not-ing there to stop a rocket oranything else from continuingon, ":Space has to be endless."This means that nothing, noteven a God can travel from here 'to the ends of space for the sim- ,'pIe reason that there are noends of space to travel to. Justthink of God WI' being a lifeform that exists everywhere. 'How we experience time is

related to our own personalbeing, but time itself hasalways existed. The future cannever be as long as the past hasalready been. Just to show howconfident I am that my theoryis correct, I am offering a thou-sand dollar reward to the firstperson that can prov~ anyone

The Good LifeWelcome Freshmen

Framing the FTC's Picturepoint your self-righteous, tax-paying fingers? Certainly not atthe federally- and locally-fund-ed educational system, that's forsure! Lookee here at this FICstudy for your culprits. Problemsolved!"), but also because theyseem to assume we adults havea greater capacity for contextu-alizing violence. In short, theClinton administration, theFIC and the makers of the V-Chip must think that along withthe ability to vote came thecapacity to tell the differencebetween fantasy and reality.I'm just not so sure we can

say the same thing about them.The study really doesn't

present us with any foundation-rocking information. Take threemajor entertainment media, allof whose goals include profitseeking, profit making and prof-it expansion, add a teen demo-graphic that supplies them withjust that, and bingo, you have amarriage made in heaven, ethicsbe damned. Capitalism 101.The purpose behind the

study, in my humble opinion,stems from the desire to locateand root out the seed of vio-lence blossoming in the skinnychests of our modern youth. Anoble venture. After all, hasn't. study after study proven .to usthat exposure to violence andpornography increasinglydesensitizes its consumers tothe concepts and reality of vio-lence? Haven't feminists invest-ed buckoo bucks in connectingrape to pornography and eatingdisorders to anorexic models?From this standpoint, the studymakes perfect' sense, evenpaving the way for a follow-upstudy that takes our hands andguides us from point A (the vio-lent image) to point B (the con-sequential violent act).I propose we stop while

we're ahead. While I'm certain-ly not an ardent flag waver forpornography and other degrad-ing or violent images, analyzingthem as solid, tangible evidenceof our culture's devaluation ofindividual life just doesn't fitright. After all, did these cultur-al artifacts fall from the heavensin a blaze of fire and fury?Come time to point the finger ofblame, we seem to convenientlyforget how movies, music andvideo ganies come into beingthrough the primordial soup wecall the modern American cul-

Thture.. . I have a difficult time imag-mmg the average movie as aslick, red Ferrari that zoomsinto our life, dumps Its valuesinto our passive laps and thenforces us to integrate them intoour psyches. These messages,however violent and degrading,would have. no meaning with-out a cultural context in whichto place them, without theiractive interpretation by all ofus socialized girls and boys.A symbol, .especially one

zapped through a mass mediachannel, doesn't mean a wholeheck of a lot when it doesn'trefer to something else, doesn'treflect the context in which itemerged and thrives. In thiscase, the sex and violence thatpermeate the entertainmentindustry refers to the - youguessed it - .violence andmisogyny plaguing our culture.Without this cultural context,these symbols would deflate.My point? I'm prouder than

punch that the Clinton adminis-tration has created a potential. diversion from our microscopicanalysis of the shooters' homelives. If the study'S purpose, asI submit, does include helpingus finger the media as the vil-lainous sources behind our chil-dren's recent outbreak or'mid-dle-class violence, however, Ithink it's a little misguided.Denying our children access tomisogynistic and violent enter-tainment material seems a littlelike putting tape over a mirrorand pretending the image itechoed disappeared along withits reflection. We need to broad-en our scopes just a little andsee how we, as a violent, war-ring, socially and economicallyinequitable culture, live, breatheand reproduce images and con-cepts of violence. The result-ing, persecutory and harmfulimages are inevitable because,simply,we are they. Focusing onour access to them seems a littlebeside the point.I thank the FTC and

President Clinton for assumingI can tell the difference betweenfantasy and fact. Now I encour-age them to stop studying one,ignoring the other and pretend-ing that they aren't one and thesame.

There's nothing more overwhelming than your first semester ata fine institution like Boise State University. You can take all

the notes you want during orientation, but they aren't going to talkabout what it's really like to go to BSU. Students find out soonenough that goi~g to BSU is really about parking three miles awayfrom campus, eating gourmet food at the SUB, and enjoying the findart work sprawled all over campus.,!,he IIl:anyquirks of Boise State's campus can be quite a shock

for mcommg freshmen from McCall and transfers from Great Basin~~munitr College. Mo.st freshman think college is going to belike m movies such as Animal House and Road Trip. This couldn't beany further from the truth, unless you come to our house where welead the league in topless men and disturbing the peace citations. Ifyou really want college to be like Animal House transfer to theUniversity of Idaho, where education comes in a distant second tokeg stands. Of course, our football team is better than theirs. TIP:If you're into the frat thing, Boise State has one (we won't count the~hristian one). It's a good time if you like watching Steel Magnoliasm the frat leader's mother's basement, where she'll serve you all thepunch and Oreos you want. We're not saying that frat boys aren'tgood people, because they are. In fact, most of them are very niceand strong, very strong, and forthis reason we love them all.In our seven years as students here, we've found that BSU is

about the finer things, things that no one ever talks about. Nothingwe can say can really prepare you for unique experience that is BoiseState University, but by God, we're going to give it a try. .Befor~ you even went .to ~our first class, you experienced the

worst thmk about BSU: parking. The reason for this is there are~ooo General Permits per parking space, and there are 3000 park-mg s~aces shared by the 10 people lucky enough to have reservedpermits. Th~ only way to ever get around the parking mess is tomves~$500 in a Hond~ scooter, like both of us already have; Notonly ISmotorcycle parking always available, but scooters are cheap-er th~n real hogs, and chicks love to ride on the back. TIP: No, real- .ly, chicks love to ride on the back.If you're part of the 99% of the BSU student body who would-

n't be caught dead on a scooter, go ahead and come to school anhour early to participate in the old strategy game where you drivethre~ fe~t behi~d a student wall~n~ to their car,only to find thatthey re Just takmg a break and hitting the Jack Daniel's they keepunder the passenger seat. TIP: Keep a bottle of Jack Daniel's underyour passenger seat.We won't even suggest trying the parking garage, because you

have to h~ve a degree in computer science to figure out how to paythe machme $10 so you can stay there all day. TIP: Parking in ameter~ space close to a building without paying will only get youa $10 ticket, and you don't have to pay it till you register for nextsemester. Make a game out of it and see which of your friends owethe parking people the most money.Another technique employed by some students is to wear a blue

"I ~gree ~ith Andrew" t-shirt. It's worth all your classmatesrollmg their eyes at you because when you're looking for a parkingspot, cars will vanish before your eyes. I've also heard that theAndrew crew often goes on field trips to walk on water..No matter how you find a place to put your car for your invigor-

ating day at school, you'll surely be hungry. The reason all the foodsold on campus is so delicious arid affordable is because no matterwhere you go, you're eating at Fine Host. Don't let the name foolyou. Fine Host is neither fine, nor a host. It's actually a Bill Gatesowned company committed to selling outdated food at a terrible

Well, surprise, surprise, arecent study conducted

and released by the FederalTrade Commission showed thatalthough the entertainment~ndus~ry has done plenty toidentify adult content in itsmovies, video games and music,it sure doesn't do a whole lotwith that information. In fact,the study confides, many indus-tries actively peddle their waresto our unsuspecting youth. Iguess snatching Joe Camel fromthe billboards just didn't cut it.I applaud this study, commis-

sioned by Clinton in June 1999.At least this attempt to scape-goat the mass media for therecent rash of school shootingsshows a little more imaginationthan playing "pin the accusa-tions" on the shooters' parents.I have to admit, though, I

anticipated something with alittle more, well, oomph. Ijumped feet-first into this study,expecting the FIC to connectThe Matrix to at least oneschool shooting or maybe tieEminem to a recent surge ofgay bashing. I wanted drama,intrigue, villains and heroes.Instead, I got stats on the num-ber of kids sneaking into R-rated movies. The FIC reportdidn't concern itself with therationale and effects of violencein the media, I found, but mere-ly .with children's accessibilityto it. .

'1"1Iyjust children? I wonderedinitially, slightly offended. Didthe FIC, like our mommies anddaddies, wave us a tearful good-bye come our first semester ofcollege? Don't they realize thestrain of working and going tocollege, of delaying all gratifi-cation for four or five longyears? Now that's a recipe fordisaster, folks!After extensive chin-

stroking and deep meditation, Ifinally concluded that theClinton administration wantedto' perform a violence checkupon our children not only tocleanse itself of the. responsi-bility of the recent schoolshootings (''Where should you

If you don't want to pay $5 for a three-day-old pizza at PizzaHut, you can buy that wrapped crap next door or a $4 cup of coffeeat Moxie Java, but it's ALL owned by Fine Host.What, you may ask, could be the solution to this enigma? The

answer to that question has stumped everyone for years, includingPhilosophy majors. The only answer we see is to get in your car, losethe parking space you broke your nose fighting over, and head toWendy's on Broadway. You know, their 99-<:entmenu has providedcheap fatty food for over ten ye¥s, and I think they're still accept-ing applications. .If after hitting Wendy's your arteries still work and you find a

parking spot, you will no doubt find time to enjoy all the artworkon campus. We're sure you've oft pondered those weird things in thegrass in front of the Liberal Arts building, and how can you missthe big red thing directly in the center of the mall area? They tellus that both of these items were gifts from Russia after World WarII. What people didn't realize is that there were actually Russianspies hiding inside of them. Last year, the spies finally emerged andsabotaged the entire BSU computer system by installingPeopleSoft.Still, the talk of the town as far as BSU art goes has to be that

ring thingy between the library and the business building. It's actu-ally a time portal to a 1972 Allman Brothers concert used bytenured professors on their lunch breaks. TIP: Go ahead - try itsome time. We've also heard theories that it was taken off the set ofthe classic Kurt Russell film, Stargiue. Of course, if you do thinkthis, you have way too much time on your hands and lack anythingresembling a friend. You probably drive a scooter.If you do nothing else while at BSU, relax and be nice to people.

Have a good time - you're going to the third best school in' Idaho(right behind Boise Bible College and the Albertson's College ofGroceries in Caldwell). Now you're no longer in the dark about the.characteristics that really make BSU unique, With these tips foryour transition to go smoother, you'llno doubt realize that you'reno that disappointed that you didn't get accepted to Dartmouth.TIP: Use all the money you're saving on tuition to found your veryown religious cult.

He did some smooth, butcliched vocalization to a cannedr & b track; and that was theextent of his performance.Dennis, if you're reading this,I'd suggest using your formida-ble singing talents in a moreinnovative context, and you justmight turn some heads.

tions were exceeded.The four emcees, exploded

onto the stage, covering hugeamounts of ground, and keep-ing their back-and-forthrhymes smooth and rhythmi-cally tight. These guys blendold and new school rap with up-tempo beats, sprinkled with theoccasional Latin spice to keepthe crowd guessing, and looklike they're having a whole hellof a lot of fun doing it.Mad Ro have improved

immensely in the stage-pres-ence department, working thecrowd and looking like a truly'professional hip-hop act thatdefinitely has the potential togo places.

Re-packaged split CDopens possibilitiesAdversives/ A.I.D.-Shotgun Response split CDby Jim Toweill

HasBoise become the newhip-hop Mecca? Will Dr.

Dre be searching for his nextprotege right here in theTreasure Valley? Will Mad Rohave us all ''feelin their shit?"The answers to these ques:-

tions are: 1) hell' no, 2) notunless we start growing theworld's best chronic, and s)quite possibly.Mad Ro celebrated the

release of their new CD,Nocturnal with a record releaseparty at Bogie's on August sa.I arrived a. bit late, but I didcatch two opening acts:Lt andDennis.LC is a solo emcee, andjudg-

ing from his performance, afairly inexperienced one at that.Although members of Mad Rojoined him on stage, he couldn'tconjure up the presence and

Shotgun Response was recorded in 1999 for the'Adversives/ A.I.D," summer tour, and has apparently been re-

released recently with some new packaging and less-than-extensiveliner notes; the track titles aren't even listed.But the unusual absence of song titles leaves the music more

open to interpretation and less subject to preconceived ideas. Morebands should pick up on that."The Adversives" kick it off with their hardcore/melodic

pimk/post-hardcore/post-punk/emo. Ok, so they aren't too easy toclassify; they just do what they do. ' .These genre-switching stalwarts of the Boise scene do more

than an adequate job on their half of the CD, but this is not he beststuff they've ever recorded. The first' song is cool , especially the «::intro.The last three tracks on this split belong to. the AI.D. (aka

'Alliance In Defiance"), kicking out the hardcore punk jams, com-plete with Jack's tough-guy vocals.The lyrics aren't so tough however. Ihave to give them credit

for having the guts to say, ''We help each other out/we prop eachother up/don't take your friends for granted." Too many hardcorebands today try to make their lyrics as "evil" and ambiguous as pos-sible.The sound quality on both ends of this disc isn't spectacular, but

I doubt that either of these bands have. the deep wallets or labelsupport to record something that sounds awesome. (And it's ashame that a lot of bands with less talent and dedication do havethose resources.) ..c--_ \,

A dichotomy of-sorts... Checkingout the Main Street Bistro

24

The service was excellent;-both the bartender and ourcocktail waitress were friendlyand quick to replace our drinks.The only real downfall I

encountered was the puke that'prefaced the entrance to theladies restroom, which I amsure isn't commonplace at theBistro.The Bistro has four excellent

pool tables, as well as a varietyof video games for those of youwho like to indulge in suchthings.The place wasn't crowded

and everyone seemed to be intothe football game.During halftime, I spoke

with two guys who said theycome to the Bistro because it isa good starter bar."I come here and start off

the night, but usually I end upat Grainey's or Hannah'sbecause they have a dance floor,plus I don't have good luck withthe ladies here because they are

by Kara Janneyt&Arbzter

My good friend Griffy is aregular at the Bistro. He

goes down there at least threetimes a week, which intriguedme to go and check it out; see.what his fascination with theBistro was about. I decided togo on a Monday night, and on aFriday night, just to see how thecrowds and atmosphere woulddiffer.MONDAY NIGHT:Monday night, which is

ladies night (and Monday nightfootball) at the Bistro, is a niceplace to watch the game, grab abeer, and indulge in the all-you-can eat taco bar, which onlycosts $5. Since it was ladiesnight, I was able to order anydrink for $1 (except for "LongIsland Ice,Tea," which is only $2on Ladies Night). That's a pret-ty good deal in my opinion.

I ._~,

.too stuck up. They aren't look-ing for someone who is workingclass like me," said Bistro patronMatt. . '. "I wonder if Matt considered

that maybe the women who goto the Bistro are just on thedefensive. . .which leads us toFriday night.FRIDAY NIGHT:I showed up around 11 p.m.,

which must have been the timewhen all the real winners crawlout of the woodwork, gel uptheir hair, load on too muchoffensive cologne/perfume, andhead down to the Bistro. Theplace was so crowded that I hadto pry my way through just toget to a place where I couldstand comfortably.Speaking of standing, I've

never seen a bar where so manygroups of people stand aroundin their little cliques and stare atother Iittle cliques. I wanted toyell, "Just go talk to her, stopstaring!"

Seriously if you ever want todo a study on social interaction,or lack thereof, go down to theBistro on a Friday night.Also, a well drink cost me

$3.75 on a Friday night. We'retalking like Fleischmann'svodka, not Absolut or Skyy. Idon't even think a bottle ofFleischmann's costs $3.75!, Iguess that's what you get whenyou go downtown.On the upside, the Bistro

typically has no cover charge.This is a good thing, since youare going to be paying quite abit for a weak drink.Another major downside to

the Bistro is that it has no juke-box. You have to be subjectedto whatever Top 4{) crap isbeing funneled into the place.The people are what make

the Bistro a bad thing toexplore on a Friday night. It'sactually. an attractive bar, andthe staff is excellent. But if youare female and you decide to go

_. -I

down to the Bistro, do expect tobe, ogled, grabbed anddemeaned at least 10 timesbefore you get out the door.You know how most bars

have that one guy who is annoy-ing and tries to pick up everylady in the bar? The one whothinks you want to hear his highschool glory days stories? Well,there is about 50 of those guysat the Bistro on the weekends.It's as though the men who gothere lose all manners (if they .had any prior) when they walkin the door."No, I don't want you to buy

me a drink, because then I willhave to listen to you talk aboutyour car stereo and watch thelight shimmer off of yourgelled up hair. No thanks, real-'ly. And by the way, I don'tremember asking you to touchme."But the Bistro serves a pur-

~se, and it definitely has aloyal .group of clientele. Like,Griffy.Although I never quite figuredout why he makes his way downthere three times a week- I havehunch that it might have some-thing to do with the plethora ofdolled up, dressed down womenwho infiltrate the Bistro.To each their own, I guess.

As for me, I will stay miles wayfrom the Bistro on the week-ends..(I'm allergic to hair gel).

Geek learns aboutbeing a fan; about growing up,and about love and life. Entermusic, truth, comedy...and youhave the new Cameron Crowefilm. .Crowe not only directed the

movie, but wrote the screen-playas welL. ... a task thatshould have been easy,since themovie is based on his life story.But re-enacting life stories

doesn't happen over night.Apparently Crowe needed a lot

the Arbiter

Ina movie review, what areyou looking for? Youwant to

know how many stars or pop-corn buckets I would give themovie, right? But you don'tknow what I judge by.Maybe I'm all about photog-

raphy and I'd be biased becauseI didn't like the camera angle.Maybe I'm a performanceartist, and the movie didn't holdenough artistic details for me.Or maybe I'm a romantic, and Iloved the love story .. Or I couldbe the girl sitting next to you inclass, beside you at the coffeeshop, or even the teary eyed onein front of you at the movies.

According to interviews, AlmostFamous is Cameron Crowe's."love letter to Rock."

Or maybe you buy intohappy endings. Whether or notyou admit it, there is a romanticside buried in each of us, andsometimes we like it whenthings work out in the end. Ifyou buy into this ideal, go seeAlmost Famous.If you think you know all .

there is to know about bands:

Do you have an appreciationfor music, and by this I meanmusic so powerful it can defineyou? Do you appreciate musicthat can somehow seep intoyour soul? And can you appre- .ciate every aspect of the musicscene? Are you a fan? If youare, and you want to relive thetime when music was morethan a free CD you could burnoff of Napster, then AlmostFamous won't disappoint.

,..---...,..---

So, is Almost Famous worththat $7.50, or two hours ofyour time? Since you don'tknow me from anyone, let meask you this:

of encouragement and support.This movie was to be the storyhe's wanted to tell for a longtime.At the age of fifteen Crowe

went on the road, interviewingfor Rolling Stone. His first inter-view was with "The AllmanBrothers" band. This movie, Idiscovered, is .more fact thanfiction, and Crowe holds des-perately to depicting the worldof music as he found it when hewasgrowing up.

The Cell-. ,. . ,.movie review

by Brian Hollerthe Arbiter

are a fan of special effects, lik-ing this movie is a no-brainer.'Another way these effects areused is to create extremelygrotesque scenes. In my recol-lection, a horror/thrillermovie has not used specialeffects in quite this capacitybefore. If the success of thismovie makes this a recurringtrend" we are going to seesome hideous things on the bigscreen in the near future. Iwon't go into detail aboutintestines being turned on apig roaster ... well, you get theidea.In my humble opinion, the

best performance in the movieis by Vincent D'Onofrio whoplays the villain/psychopath.How to get into character todo some of the things he doesis mind-boggling. All in all, amovie that receives (out of apossible 5) :3 skewered intes-tines:The Cell is a thriller with

great special effects. Preciselythe recipe for what it takes ·tohave a box-office hit thesedays. Well,. Jennifer Lopezdoesn't hurt much either.

Band's new CD kicks into gearAt the Drive-In . that'~ dOOsn:tcontribute to (orRelationship of Command . detract from.) .the .overall aes-

thetic appeal of the album. TheGreco-Roman/modern motif

the Arbiter slathered over the digipak case,in tandem with the album title,somehow' gives the impressionthat the record is going to have asocio-politica1and revolutionaryfeel. And usually revolution =pissed off, which generally =rock., First impressions aren'talways correct, though in thiscase they are. This record sim-ply bleeds energy. Cedric's voicestill sounds like Zach De LaRocha (of Rage Against theMachine, irrcase anyone isn'taware) half of the time. And themusic is still frenzied, emotionalrock; but whatever they weremissing before, they've got now.The guitars weave past and

over eachother, and strike in tan-dem, propelling the melodic andsometimes syncopated vocalsinto giant choruses, which areimpossiblenot to yell along with.And just like a good pitcher,ATDI throws us some curve-balls, such as the beat-sounding

by Jim Toweill

poetry on "Invalid Litter Dept.",the epic use of piano that propels"Non-Zero Possibility",and sometasteful electronic touches hereand there.Supposedly Iggy Pop

appeared on this album some-where, but I've-yet to figure outexactly what he does. Maybe he'seating caviar in the background.The only complaint I have

about this record is that the lyricsare sometimes a bit cryptic(example: "aeronautics hackedthe spine of paragraphs"--evenin context it doesn't make awhole lot of sense),But I haven'tfully scrutinized them yet, so thisalbum' can still get away com-plaint-free. But yeah, if you likedAt The Drive-In' before, you'redefinitely not going to be disap-pointed with this one, and ifyou've yet to break your ATDIcherry, do so before all Jourfriends make fun of you an sellall your Limp. Bizkit recordsbehind your back.

"A soaring tale of twists andturns! ... The Matrix meets

Silence of the Lambs!"These are some of the

quotes from reviews I had seenof the Cell before I actuallyhad seen it. Note to self: Donot put too much stock inquotes that you see attached tomovie trailers, or on main-stream shows such as Ebert atthe movies. What is a "soaringtale" anyway? In actuality, theCell is a special effects master-piece, with an average story-line, and decent acting. It starsJennifer Lopez and VinceVaughn. He is in one of myfavorite movies of all time,Swingers, and I feel he can dono wrong. That being said,the acting, while not tremen-dous, does the movie justice.The special effects and

shock value associated withthose effects are what doesmake this movie the successthat it is. The camera workand digital enhancements aretruly out of this world. If you

Ihadnever been a huge fan ofAt The Drive-In. My friendswere alwaystelling me how awe-some they were, and I'd alwayssee their ATDI albums lyingaround-presumably becausethey were being listened to fre-quently.I broke down and listened to

one of their earlier albums,"In/ casino/ out"; and while Ienjoyed it, my final verdict was"ehh... this doesn't quite live upto the hype." They had a fairlyoriginal sound going, with

" mucho energy, but there wassomething missing. somethingpreventing them from kicking asmuch ass as they supposedlydid..Being a generous and forgiv-

ing sort, I decided to give ATDIanother chance by picking up acopy of their new album.First of all, the packaging is

nice. I would be lying if I said
