New York student finds Internet to be lucrative link to higher education Bv OiRisnNE TATUM College Press Service

Last summer, Stephanie Murg needed money for college. Big money.

She estimated that four years at the University of Rochester in New York would cost around $112,000. It was a price tag too steep for her parents - especially given that her twin brother was also headed to school.

So Murg, now 19 and majoring

in neuroscience, went on an aggressive fishing expedition that, with help from the Internet, brought in enough cash to pay her way through college. Every dime, loan-free. The scholarships and grants she found on the 'net alone to­taled more than $25,000. The rest she's paying with merit-based aid and a few local scholarships.

·1 found so much money on the Internet that I was able to study over the summer at Yale and pay for it all,"

Murg said. "Tue web is really the way to go nowadays. You just point and click, and you' re there."

Experts agree that the Internet is fast becoming the best place for stu­dents to find scholarships, grants and low-interest loans. And aside from get­ting the benefits of efficiency and speed, students don't necessarily have to spend money to find money.

UNIVERSITY) £di1orial

If asked to distill the funda­mentals of human nature into a single, overarching principle, we'd have to say that, more than anything else, humanity is defined by its in­trinsic need to answer that mosl basic of questions, "Why?"

It's a need which, in one form or another, informs every decision and judgment we make, the va lues we structure our lives around and allows us- if only in o•: r own minds--to make sense of existence

itself. Lin fortunately, when the na­

ture of humanity and the nature nf reality arc at odds with one an­other. this basic drive to bring or­der to chaos often times betrays its original purpose, serving as a poor substi tute for the truth rather than an explanation of the events tak­ing place around us.

If all that seems a bit eso­teric to you then consider how the en t ire nation- to greater and lesser degrees- very publicly groped for an explanation of the terrifying events which took place last week ou tside of Westside

M1Jdlc School in the ;.leepy little farming community of Jonesboro. Arkansas.

"What on earth.'. v. c all cemed to be collectively a king,

"could possibly motivate two young boys to set a meticulously planned ambush for their fellow students? What kind of monsters could unmercifully murder four of their classmates ar.d a teacher? Why did this happen? What does it mean?"

In the wake of this type of horrendous tragedy these are all

The bottom line is to be skep­tical. Heck, be skeptical of what I say. That's part of being an educated consumer of anything.

I think this feminism strives for equality about as much as hemorroid cream heals a cut, not striving for any notion of equality. Furthermore, there seems to be a per­vasive movement to take equality and equate it with tearing down any­thing male rather than build some­thing female, not by all feminists, just by the ones rnnning the show.

l think technology has given women countless opportunites, equal work for equal pay. Amen. But this kind of feminism doesn't help that struggle. Don't, in your urge to help, get sucked into it.

I realize I'll be called a dickhead for what I'm saying, but anyone saying so has never talked to me in perso~ver. Keep that in mind. And write a letter or come chat with me, unless my body language is "too opressive," I'm always open for discussion. Thanks for reading.

logical, pertinent questions. But in our need to draw meaning from events, to place them in a context con­sistent with how we believe the world works, we've allowed ourselves to be suckered into buying into the easiest answers, the most pat explanations.

The airwaves have been abuzz with Sunday morning talk-show personalities and Washington pundits. all of whom seem to believe that they have some scintillating insight into the shootings which they feel compelled to voice.

The violence was the inevitable result of our society's total lack of accountability. It was further evidence of the breakdown of the Ameri­can family, a breakdown which was being has­tened by a Democratic president and his philanderings. It underscored the national men­ace posed !.>y weak gun-control laws. It was video games. It was too much TV.

Duke University has adopted a code of conduct designed to en­sure sports apparel and other mer­chandise bearing its name are not made in sweatshops.

The code, approved March 8, addresses a wide range of interna­tionally accepted labor standards and has been touted as an example for other colleges. Only a handful of colleges and universities nation­wide have similar codes, despite a gro\\ ing number of students who are concerned that their schools are making money from products manufactured by forced labor or under abusive and unsafe condi­tions.

"We are opposed to tho e kinds of places even existing." said Jim Wilkerson, Duke's director of

trademark licensing and erations. ''And we certai1 posed to having our nam that's mixed with the !

tears of abused and exp lo ers."

niversity students rally to pport farm workers' rights

Sweatshop: students refuse to 'just do it'

continiied from page 4

(U-WIRE) NEW HAVEN, - Although thousands of

geparate New Haven from the erry fields of California,

rale students are adding their to those of activists nation­ighting for the rights of

erry workers. ore than 100 Yale students

students from New York­lleges, union organizers, re­

; groups, and farm workers rday to participate in the

d Farm Workers March gh Manhattan. Carrying ban-nd chanting, the activists d a total of 23 blocks down ay. he purpose of the march

call on the corporations that nd distribute strawberries to ve working conditions and

portantly allow theirwork­organize. The UFW is spe­ly targeting Driscoll Straw­\ssociates, which controls 25 .t of the industry. The UFW cused Driscoll of a number r violations, including fail­pay proper overtime wages ilure to tell workers when ight be exposed to cancer­

,g pesticides. erra Lawson-Remer '00, of

-:W Yale Support Group said

the cause appeals to students be­cause it is "not at au far removed."

"The only way to make it possible for the fam1 workers to organize themselves is for consum­ers to support them," Lawson­Remer said "The Northeast con­sumes more than half of the straw­berries grown in the United States, so a statement made in New York does make a difference."

Though Ann Ritter '01 knew little of the UFW and its cause, she heard about the march through a friend and decided to go.

"I'm generally a leftist, and I wanted to show that there is a strong leftist presence at an Ivy League university," Ritter said. "It's a human rights cause. so it's very easy to relate to," she added.

Christine Estevez '01 de­cided to go on the march after at­tending La Fiesta de los comesinos - a festival to promote awareness about the strawberry pickers.

"I was really inspired by the people who came to speak to us," Estevez said. "I was motivated to help in any way I could."

The march concluded in a small paved lot where participants gathered for a rally. With red UFW flags and banners raised, the as­sembled marchers cheered on speakers including UFW leaders, politicians, and other activists.

Dolores Huerta, co-founder

and secretary-treasurer of the UFW, described the working and living conditions most of California's 20,000 strawberry workers endure. Strawberry pick­ers may be out in the fields for as long as 10 to 12 hours a day, where they must continually bend at the waist in order to pick the berries. In addition, the workers, who earn an average of $8,500 a season, often live in crowded houses, garages, and makeshift shelters.

Several of the speakers rec­ognized the presence of students at the rally and thanked them for their support.

" It 's great to see so many young people here," New York State Senator Franz Leichter told the crowd which included stu­dents from Yale, Wesleyan Uni­versity, Columbia University, and Manhattan College. "We hear you're apathetic. Baloney. You're here, you're fighting for worker's rights."

Writer and activist Gloria Steinem, who has been organizing with the UFWfor the past31 years, spoke about the sexual harassment and discrimination faced by female strawberry workers.

"There is no women's movement unless the movement touches the life of every woman," Steinem said.

workers from forming unions. However, Duke's new code goes a step fu rther by requir­ing licensees to allow indepen­dent inspection of their facil i­ties and the publication of those resu Its.

PubJ icizing inspectors' findings is "the most signifi­cant aspect" of the code, said Tico Almeida, founder of Stu­dents Aga inst Sweatshops, a national student-led group that bas protested universities ' dealings with companies cited for unfair labor practices.

"Making the results pub­lic ... is the only way to be sure the standards are being met," said Almeida, whose group -with help from Duke's domes­tic and international licensing agents - will help enforce the new code.

Some licensing agencies say they support Duke's new code and hope many of their other clients eventually wi ll , too. The Collegiate Licensing Co., which represents 160 col­leges and universities and hun­dreds of licensees across the nation, is asking other schools to review the code.

"The CLC is hopeful that the collegiate industry can reach a consensus in establish-

ing a uniform code to avoid the potential for different and in­consistent standards," sai.d Bruce Siegal, the company's vice president and general counsel.

Students at the Univer­sity of Arizona a lready are ~rging school officials the.re to join Duke's efforts. University President Peter Likins told a group of students who ques­tioned him last week about the school's pending contract w ith Nike that the coce is "worth exploring."

Likins did, however, re­mind students that Arizona's contract alone likely would not be enough to prevent Nike from repeating reported viola­tions of labor practices in its contract factories in China, Indonesia and Vietnam.

"There will continue to be abuses; you can put that in the bank," Likins reportedly said. "Nike will never be per­fect. (But) I want them to know that if they get them­selves into trouble, they will lose the business of the UA."

Nike, which has drafted some policies on which Duke's new code is based, says it supports Duke's regu­latory efforts.

Three of the prisoners, who are Bay Area natives, arrived back in the United States last week and held a press conference in San Francisco on Saturday to discuss their ordeal and the eth­nic strife they witnessed.

Although 90 percent of the people in the region are ethnic Al­banians, the Serbian minority ex­ercises much of the authority -often violently, they said.

The peace workers left the United States on March 8. They were later detained in Pristina, the provincial capital of Kosovo, as they supported an Albanian stu­dent protest in which students were trying to gain the right to study their own culture and lan­guage at Kosovo University. The violence in Kosovo escalated throughout the month of March, with the Serbian government kill­ing at least 80 Albanians.

The former prisoners com­pare the situation in Kosovo to the movement to integrate black students into all-white southern schools during the 1950s.

Perez, a 20-year-old peace and conflict studies major, said that while in prison he lived on bread, water and soup. For break­fast, he got a single hard-boiled egg.

"We were cold and very hungry," he said.

While jailed, Perez said he talked to Albanian prisoners who told him that guards would con-

comim1ed from

stantly beat and torture Perez said, hov. ever, that n the American prisoners we posed to such treatment.

David Hartsough. th ecutive director of Peacew who was also jailed, descri prison's atmosphere as cramped and full of an "unb able stench." He added that body who questioned autho the slightest way woul treated like a dog."

Crawford, who spen of her imprisonment alon jail cell, said that she was ried that the male guards harm her.

"I was really afraid there were going to be no w guards there and I was a something physical was goi happen to me," she said.

The group said the way to prevent the violence have international people -pecially the media - docu the beatings.

Crawford said she rather have stayed in priso 10 days than get banned fror country for three years. Perez wishes he was not banned the country.

"I'd go back in a secc he said. "I wouldn't even I about it. Without internatic (Kosovo) would explode."

More than 1,000 high school students from around the country had the opportunity this week to taste the excitement of both Montana State and Bozeman during lligh School Days.

This 2 I /2-day eye opener for interested students is unique to MSU and unparalleled any­where else in the state. Travel­ing from as far away as Alaska and Georgia, prospective students have the opportunities to do ev­erything from skiing at Big Sky and Bridger Bowl to chat sessions with current tudcnts to get a bet­ter feel of the cornucopia of ac­tivities for college tudents.

Prospective students are not required to have applied to MSU in order to attend High School Days, yet many of the 1,017 students who attended lligh School Days pursue an education with MSU, according to Kerry Hanson of New Stu­dent Services.

"Students love High School Days because they love the way they arc treated at MSU, they are treated as stu­dents," said Hanson.

fers the opportunity to obtain scholarship money. More than $100,000 in scholarships is given to students, the largest of which is an enticing $3,000. A majority of the scholarships, in­cluding the largest ones, arc awarded according to sco res from Monday morning's testing in Schroyer Gym.

Parents also are invited to attend, 200 of who did to get a closer look at the college their students plan to attend.

" The parents rave, they think it is an awesome pro­gram,'' said Hanson.

Approximately 150 cur­rent MSU students al o were in­volved in the promotion of their future alma mater. They did ev­erything from giving campus tours to being hospitality " bud­dies" to better accommodate incoming students.

As to the effectiveness of the program, Sarah Jo Heuck, Public Relations C ommittee Co-Chair, summed it up by say­ing, ''It really gives y o u a chance to see what co llege is like, you get more personal at­tentio n this way."

Wurtz soars in pole vault

PHOTV BY ]AY THANE

ohn Wurtz attempts a vault at an indoor meet earlier this season.

BY ZACH GERTSCH

Exponent \"riter

There's a unique, daring, even extreme quality about pole vaulting that keeps Montana State vaulter John Wurtz soaring to new heights.

The senior star, who already owns the highest outdoor vault in Big Sky history, revels in the excitement of his sport and he's always looking to raise the bar.

"More than anything, I really love the thrill of vaulting," said Wurtz. "It's just a fun sport, and I like the reactions I get when I say 'yeah, I'm a pole vaulter.' Sure, vaulters can be a little goofy al times, but the pole vault is really an excit­ing sport."

Wurtz's penchant for clearing extreme heights emerged when, as a high school junior in Rapid City, S. D., a friend's advice convinced him to begin vaulting. His talent was evident almost immediately, and a 16-foot vault at the end of his senior year made Wurtz a valuable coUege prospect.

"The height just started in­creasing gradually after I went out my junior year and began to pole vault," said Wurtz. "I just kept go­ing higher and higher and probably surprised everyone else a lot more than myself."

Wurtz visited and signed with

Montana State, again on the recom­mendation of a friend, and only months later captured victory in his first outdoor conference track meet. He's been the Big Sky's dominant vaulter ever since, collecting four more individual championships and smashing Montana State's indoor (17-4.5) and outdoor (17-6) vault records.

Two years ago, though, when his father experienced health prob-1ems, Wurtz put the pole vault on hold to return home to Rapid City and help out with the family land­scaping business. He was coming off a disappointingjuniorseason, and the interruption appeared to put his vaulting career in jeopardy.

"[hadn't planned on coming back at first because I had just had the worst year of my career and my family needed my help," said Wurtz. "But I began to think about return­ing when my girlfriend, who even­tually became my fiancee, told me I should go back and finish my goals."

So Wurtz, who has now been married for close to six months, re­turned to Montana State for his se­nior season, which already includes one Big Sky championship and looks promising for another in the outdoor season. MSU's strong crew of vault­ers, including sophomore Justin Flaten and junior Dan Groux, has

also benefited greatly from Wurtz's return.

"lle's really supportive and always helps us to work harder in practice and step up in meets," said Groux, who was one of three 'Cats to clear 16-2 this year. "We've all been helped by his return, so it's great that he came back."

The upcoming outdoor season will also be Wurtz's last chance to reach the national championship meet, the one goal that has remained elusive throughout his pole vault ca­reer. He narrowly missed this year's indoor nationals, and now needs only a small improvement to close out his college career with a trip to the out­door NCAA meet in May.

And when he does eventually hang up his spikes, Wurtz plans to once again return to Rapid City and continue working. ln the meantime, though, he'll enjoy his many inter­ests and diversions-the latest of which is snowmobiling-and con­tinue to vault toward one more goal and one more season of success.

"John has a really good shot at making the national meet and clearing 18 feet this season," said second year MSU jump coach Tom Eitel. "He's got a lot of natural abil­ity, and his contagious work ethic has helped all of our vaulters reach higher."

With the Dogs in the driver seat, Cole sent out the checking line of Mike Everin, Mark Bradford, and Ryan

Mullen. The three of them did their job of shutting down the Pirate's scoring line and scored two goals in the process.

Their first goal came in the second period to make the score 3-0. Mullen skated out from behind the net and shot. Christenson was there for the save deflecting it off of one of his pads. That deflection went right to Everin who shot the puck into a half-open net.

Spring football s_... .. BY McCoRY JAMES Exponent Sport.s Editor

Montana State opened its spring football drills yesterday. The team will be returning 11 starters and 39 lettermen from last year's 6-5 squad. The practices will be held at Manhattan High School un­til the practice field at MSU is ready for use.

The Bobcats will be coming off of their first back-to-back win­ning seasons since joining Division I in the late '70s. Head coach Cliff Hysell, who is in his seventh year of coaching the Bobcats, feels the ' Cats are capable of having another winning year.

"This year ' s team bas a chance to really accomplish some things," Hysell said. "These guys are going to have to work bard. The older veterans are going to have to improve their level of performance, and the younger guys need to find their niche and contribute in a hurry, but this team bas a chance."

Theyconque ing but death.

Pase world rulers like Alexander rhe Grear, Turankhamen and Julius Caesar h ave all had one rhing in common: rhe pasr. They're stuck in iL. It makes more sense ro follow a ruler who has conquered

dearh ... and a world leader who promises ro som ed<1y rule rhe world rhrough pe<Ke.

Jesus C hrisr is thar ruler. H e claimed ro be God, was c rucifi ed for our sins, and rhen rose bodily from che grave. And he p romises ro rerurn ro rule over the ea rth.
