Suspect at large after 10th Street standoff By Lea Blevins

Daily Staff Writer

After a standoff that lasted nearly five hours, a possible hostage situation Monday near Spartan Village ended without the San Jose Police Department apprehending the sus-pect.

At 12:15 p.m., a man called 9-1-1 to report his 1983 Ford pickup truck had been carjacked by an acquaintance, Sr. Steve Dixon said.

Obviously they’re not dose friends, but they did know each other," Dixon said.

1 he ands WAS allegedly stolen by suspect Luis Gonzales, parolee at large, near 10th and Humboldt streets. The victim told police the sus-pect used a long gun, either a rifle or shotgun, when he demanded the vehi-cle, Dixon said.

The victim was able to get in anoth-er car and follcnv Gonzales to First and Virginia streets, where.he called 9-1-1. The police were told where the carjacking took place, and officers patrolled the arca in their vehicles and on foot, Dixon said. An officer on foot spotted the stolen vehicle, which was

still running, in the driveway of a house near the comer of 10th and Humboldt streets.

"It was so quicldy after the carjack-ing we felt the suspect was probably in the residence," Dixon said.

A man seen near the truck was put into custody, but he was not arrested. The man told police he had just got-ten home when he saw the truck and realized it did not belong where it was. ’The man briefly went inside and did not think anyone else was in the house, Dixon said.

Shortly after, the surroundiqg streets

were blocked ott and surrounded by 15 to 25 police cars. Officers stood outside the house, some holding firearms.

By Justine DaCosta Daily Stall Writer

For 28 minutes and 40 seconds a week, the reporters of Update News are not just students but news anchors responsible for providing A live, commercial -free program that is broadcast to 14 counties in Northern California.

The weekly show, aired live on campus at 2:30 p.m. on Fridays and replayed 6:30 A.M. Sundays on KTEH, is the collaborative effort of the jour-nalism department, the radio, television and film department and academic technology, said tele-vision director Bob Reynolds.

Weekend of events celebrates Santana Row Fire hasn’t kept fimility down; turnout ’great’ despite rain

By Allison M. Foley Daily Staff Writer

Amid the aging strip malls and deteriorat-ing concrete of San Jose, residents and visi - tors now have something else to look at.

A portion of Santana Row, San Jose’s ncw shopping, dining and residential district opened to much enthusiasm last week, said Kathleen Harrelson, concierge at the multi -use shopping facility.

"On Thursday, thcrc were sheets of rain coming down, umbrellas were blowing inside out, but people didn’t care. It was great turnout," she %Aid.

Santana Row has come long way since thc devastating fire that ravaged a section of the complex as well as nearby apartments on Aug. 19.

The center made headlines in newspapers both local and national, where it was called one of San Jose’s most destructive fires to date.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, a task force that was responsible for investi-gating the Santana Row fire Set A time limit of 30 days to uncover the source of the tire, from the day it occurred. Now that thc deadline has passed, the source of the tire is still unknown and possibly may never be

determined. The history associated with Santana Row

in the form of the fire was the last thing on some shoppers’ minds during the opening celebrations, which spanned tour days, from Thursday to Sunday.

BCCAUSC it began rain -free, Sunday was one of the few days that previously planned events were actually able to continue AS scheduled. Thc Santana Row farmer’s mar-ket attracted a fair amount of buyers and browsers and is planned to occur twice weeldy on Wednesday and Sunday. Live music and cooking demonstrations were also featured Sunday.

The market wrapped up earlier than planned as A deluge slowly drenched the streets.

Although rainy weather caused many of thc planned activities to be canceled, such as Saturday’s fashion show, patrons were still enthusiastic.

Marilyn Howard had optimistic expecta-tions for hcr first day at Santana Row.

"I knew it would be wonderful, and I cer-tainly haven’t been disappointed so far," she said.

Betty Nguyen, 27, of Mountain View, had A similar positive first impression.

"The moment I CAMC into Santana Row, I WAS very impressed by the archi-tecture and the very hip, high -end stores. There is a young fed with modern edge that San Jose desperately needs," Nguyen said.

She said shc was equally pleased with thc possibilities the new center offered for San Jose. She said the area has needed some-thing like Santana Row for A while and that it will most likely improve areas of the city surrounding it in time.

"It worked for Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade; it can work for San Jose," Nguyen said.

Nguyen WAS visiting Santana Row for her second time.

Other visitors were not so sure of its suc-cess.

With architecture resembling a major downtown street in modern Europe, other patrons weren’t convinced by the ambience alone.

Wires in place for wireless

program Students, faculty prepare for

laptop education By Karen Imamura Daily Staff Writer

Squeezing enough money out of some college stu dent’s budgets to purchase a laptop might take sonic finagling, but finagling is what it will take, according to a department official.

"Beg, borrow or steal," said Dennis Wilcox, director of the school of journalism and mass communications.

The wireless network being set up in the school of � journalism and mass communications, the department of educational administration and higher education and the School of art and design should be completely func-tional by Fall 2003, said Mary Fran Breiling, the coordi-nator of’ the wireless laptop project.

Faculty members are already sharpening their laptop skills as this pilot project progresses.

"We’ve had more faculty training than we’ve been able to accommodate," said Mary Jo Gorney-Morena, asso-ciate vice-president of academic technology.

Construction of the wireless network is keeping to. schedule.

"You have to wire the place to go wireless," Wilcox said.

The cable for the network has been pulled into the classrooms. Next comes the installation of the access points.

"It will be a big leap forward t’or the campus," Gomey-Morena said.

Cost is the main concern ofone student who is already struggling to pay for school tuition and costs.

"I Liow I dont have the money to pay for a laptop," said Traci Hui, a senior majoring in illustration and ani-mation. "I have a full-time job, and thc money goes towards rent and tuition. There’s no way I could malce a purchase like that."

Being an art major already costs more than other majors because of the supplies needed for classes, said William Emmert, who is also a senior majoring in illus-tration and animation. Adding the price of a laptop would only add to the cost.

A MOVEABLE FEAST

Underdog status lets us be proud to be Spartans Fellow Spartans: It’s time to stop feeling inferior. Let’s get the obvious out of the way: We are not Stanford. We are not Santa Clara University. And with the recent shooting down of Measure V, we do

not even have a possibility of a campus social hub. But you know what we do have? We have the "underdog" status. We have the ability to prove people wrong. And that reason alone is what gives us students like

Jasmon Jackson, a mother who "had a dream" of starting a pro-parent group. One semester later, M.O.M. (Mothers On a Mission) is now a successful organization. The group of 35 moms and dads recently got the attention of President Robert Caret, and they are working toward implementing new mom-friendly policies.

We have die-hards like Neil Parry, the Spartan safety who refuses to give up. Countless surgeries, a prosthetic leg and the possibility of never playing again has only given him fuel to want to play more than ever.

He has a tattoo of a Spartan head on his upper arm. He is devoted to San Jose State University, not Stanford. While we have to work harder at building self-confi-

dence, it is something you are handed at an Ivy League school.

Their confidence is backcd by merely a name, a label, like Stanford.

We know that we could read the same books and watch the same football games, but the thing that they lack is the thing that gives us grace and character: a fighting spirit.

While attendance at a Stanford game may reach tens of thousands, we are squirming by with 6,500.

Why? Because we have to deal with the very

things that make our lives different from them: children, shopping, taking care of relatives, working or homework we couldn’t do during the week because of work.

It’s not that Stanford students don’t have their own triumph-over-tragedy stories, but we need to give. ourselves a pat on the back every once in a while for our accomplishments that can easily be forgotten in the name of the cop-out phrase: "We’re a state school."

It is too easy to cower when people ask about SJSU, our future aline meter.

Well, I’m done giving excuses for my college choice.

I need to start standing up for this school. I have met students and teachers here with life experi-

ences that are stuff of great fiction. The majority of classes I’ve had tended to have silent

observers, but if you were to take these peo-ple aside, you’d find that they have a more interesting history than the blank stares they give in class.

If you choose to see it, even though 30,000 people go to this school, there is a focus on individuality.

A professor has never shunned me, even outside of office hours. My teachers love nothing more than to hear students talk in class and contribute to a discussion. Even when the class is full, there is always room for personal attention. In terms of academic rigor, maybe we won’t

win any academic decathlons with the Ivy League that costs more in one year than my loans have accumulated over the past six years, but at least we can show a bit of character.

But we need to embrace the fact that we are all steeped in differences, whether it’s academic, economic or ethnic. I’m not touting a need for more "diversity," that catch-

ANNA BAKAL’S

Letter I Campaign for V is reason it failed Dear Editor,

The crybaby reaction by the supporters of Measure V is typical of the entire tenor of their campaign and a major contributing factor to why I voted against the measure. By blaming the tactics of her opponents for her own fail-ure, Cathy Busalacchi, executive director of the Student Union, insults the intelligence of the students who voted against the proposal.

Franldy I saw virtually no information from the other side at all. As a graduate student, I am usually on campus only two days a week and must have missed the propa-ganda blitz by the anti-V forces. I based my opposition entirely on the information provided by the pro-forces. Their use of expensive color posters and tent cards, and the total lack of such things form the anti-forces, went a long way towards explaining why the Student Union is failing as a business. Remarks by representatives of the

Pro V camp, quoted in the Spartan Daily, to the effect that the fees could be raised with or without the approval of the students and that the vote was only to "gekthe stu-dents involved" displayed the fatal hubris hat has marked all of Student Union’s actions. I fitlly expect to find that the fees will be raised in the near future, tram-pling on the will of the students, but at least the Student Union cannot pretend that they represent the students.

That is the whole problem with the joke that is Student Govemment. It gives the illusion that the dummy con-trols that students are allowed to play with actually drive the machinery of government when, in reality, they are no more effective than the steering wheel on a baby’s car seat.

phrase and thorny word can be applied too broadly and specifically. Anything from a strong religious background to how many video games you played in middle school, we need to recognize what’s already there.

Yes, there arc long lines at the Bursar’s office, and the Student Union at noon is a bit like feeding time at the zoo.

Perceptions of our college choice are a strange twist to our already sensitive egos.

While Stanford graduates have more opportunities to get a job simply by their diploma, we have the opportuni-ty to push more because we have that much more to lose.

I’m glad that we are a public institution that can have moments of pure triumph over adversity because these are the moments that we live for.

Our daddies can’t bail us out, we ride buses and many of us don’t have the opportunity to "take a year off to discover ourselves." But we are trying to be collegiate and practical at the same time.

So bow to us, mediocrity, we are public school students.

;1 Moveable Feast’ appears Tuesdays.

Republican majority in Congress endangers rights On Nov. 6, I opened the newspaper, and my heart sank.

The Senate had switched over to Republican control. I started thinking of something we ve been hearing a lot

about in the news lately: War. It terrifies me. But I’m not talking about war on Iraq. I’m tallcing about a

War much closer to home: women’s bodies. There is a nagging problem that lurks just below the sur-

face of the American political consciousness. It concerns a basic human right recognized under the 14th Amendment, which gives a person a right to privacy.

Under this umbrella fell the right for women to choose abortion within the first trimester.

However, a conservative Supreme Court coupled with a sympathetic Senate could mean the reversal of the Roe v. Wade deci-sion, leaving thousands of women without a way out of an unwanted pregnancy.

Since as long as I can remember, women have had this right. Maybe older students can remember when women weren’t grant-ed such freedoms, but for most, not having that right would be unheard of

Under the landmark case Roe v. Wade, women across the country had their rights extended to include circumstances for abor-tion that werwit relegated.tot tare cases in, which the women’s life wa:s.ttireatened. VyF were given the rigiti the’private choice to do with our bodies what we wanted.

But in an office far, far away sits our elected President, George W. Bush, who is strongly opposed to abortion. In that same far-off land, Republicans now control the House and more importantly in this case, the Senate. Furthermore,

en of nine Supreme Court Justices have been appointed sev by Republican Presidents.

I don’t wish to make this a Republican tirade - tftere are Republicans who favor pro-choice policies. But the majority of the party is composed of conservative members who do not condone a woman s right to choose.

As some of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court are getting on in age, they must be thinking that this time would prove convenient for their retirement as their succes-sors would be almost guaranteed to be just as strongly con-servative as themselves. What better a tegacy to leave?

New justices are appointed by the President and reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee through sometimes-lengthy hearings. After the hearings, the committee then issues a positive or negative recommendation to the Senate, who will eventually vote on the nominee. With a simple majority vote of 51 Senators, (50 percent plus one) a nomi-nee is then appioved to a position that will theoretically last until they die or choose to retire.

KEMBERLY GONG

With one vote, the entire way in which we perceive our individual rights could be drastically changed. ’That far off office gets closer with every legislative action taken against our bodies.

Ludcily, Californians are in a better position should this happen. In September, Govemor Gray Davis signed a law called the Reproductive Privacy Act. It would allow the state of California to continue to grant abortion rights even if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

However, this could also have negative consequences if other states do not allow abortions because it would increase

the rate of women traveling from other states into California for legal abortions.

Without the right, women would face dire consequences.

Making abortions illegal will not stop them from occurring; it will just increase the rate of abortions performed illegally. Many times these are performed in unsanitary or unsafe conditions by people who are not always medically licensed to perform such proce-dures.

If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion will become illegal in 23 states, according to a

representative from Planned Parenthood. At least two states - New York- and

California - have passed legislation to blondi any acjiim by the federal goverrunent to restrict the rights of women in the country.

Women are not second-class citizens who must be told how we can and cannot handle our bodies. We are rational beings and deserve the respect to be able to make our own decisions regarding our bodies.

By not having that right, the decision is made by the gov-ernment about what our morals should be; morals that are, and should remain, private and unalienable.

What the federal government must recognize is the fact that legal or illegal, women are going to continue to have abortions. It will close the door to the problem, intensifying the pressure elsewhere for women to seek help in other ways.

We must make sure we protect the health and well-being of the women who need abortions. Turning our back on the probkm of unwanted pregnancies is not going to make them disappear.

Instead, we will be left all alone, pregnant with the fear of future ramifications of this action by the government that has betrayed us.

STANDOFF I Suspect ’armed and dangerous’ continuedfram page 1

"The warrant specifies he should be considered armed and dangerous," Dixon said of the suspect. "That increased the level of anxiety for some neighbors here."

Some homes on 10th and Humboldt streets were evacuated while the police tried to make contact with the residence, Dixon said.

Some San Jose State University stu-dents watched the police action from the 10th Street side of Spartan Village.

SJSU’s shuttle buses were unable to pick up students for class because the road had been blocked.

"We’re just holding our ground over here and trying to stay safe," said Chris Wright, a freshman criminal justice major. "We just lcind of hope for the best and hope everything

comes out all right and nobody gets hurt."

Somc students monitored what the police officers were doing to help.

"Half of them seem to be ready for action, and the other half just seem to be sitting around doing nothing," said Mike Headley, a senior computer sci-ence major who lives at Spartan Village.

Some students heard interesting stories about what was going on, and everyone seemed to have a dif-ferent version, students said. Other students just watched to see what hapikkned.

"It s hectic out here," said Maurice Thomas, a freshman broadcasting major.

Around 3:30 p.m., eight members of the Merge Team, SJPD’s version of a SWAT team, went into the house

with their rifles pointed. During that time, the officers and

bystanders waited around the sur-rounding blocks to see what the team discovered.

When the team members did not find the suspect in the house, they searched a neighboring house that had been evacuated. After searching the two houses and the yards in the area, the tcam emerged from the house around 4:45 p.m.

The suspect made his getaway, Dixon said.

"We do consider him still armed and dangerous," Dixon said. "He’s wanted for parole violation and also the armed carjacking."

Dixon described Gonzales, age 36 or 37, as being 5 feet 7 inches tall with a shaved hcad and a moustache and goatee.

Student pilot who flew plane into skyscraper nearly hit Air Force tower TAMPA, Fla. (AP) � A teenage

student pilot who committed suicide by crashing into a downtown slcy-scraper had nearly hit the control tower at an Air Force Base that hous-es a nerve center for the war in Afghanistan, a government report said.

Charles Bishop, 15, flew his stolen Cessna "just a few feet" over the con-trol tower at MacDill Air Force Base durin_g the Jan. 5 flight, according to the National Transportation Safety

Board report released Monday. The NTSB did not speculate on

whether Bishop, who left a suicide note expressing admiration for Osama bin Laden, had intended the base as his target. The base is home to the U.S. Central Command, which plays a crucial role in directing the war in Afghanistan.

The report said that after Bishop buzzed the control tower, he flew the Cessna 75 to 100 feet over two loaded tanker planes. When a Coast Guard

Harrelson said a 13th century chapel front flown in from Paris is onc of the many actual artifacts collected direct-ly from European countries to give Santana Row that very appearance.

Alena Campagna of Santa Clara was not convinced.

"It’s a little like Disneyland," Campagna said. "You especially get that impression when you see the backs of the buildings. Little ugly doors, no detail."

Campagna thought that architects should have reconsidered that in Santana Row’s planning stages.

"They could have underground loading or something," she said.

Leslie and Todd Wright had their own suspicions.

Leslie Wright, an employee at Santana Row’s Borders bookstore, said she thought many of the stores were too exclusive to survive. Her husband, Todd, called the architec-ture and expensive stores "eye candy," saying that once the hype is over, crowds will die down, and the future of Santana Row will be in jeopardy.

"This place was designed at a time when our economy was better off. Now it’s out of place," said Todd Wright.

Stores at Santana Row such as Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo and BCBG Max Azria carry merchandise with prices that arc as astounding as the products themselves.

Campagna cited this as the reason why she wouldn’t frequent the stores much. She said dining at the area’s restaurants and returning to the farmer’s market would be on her list of things to do, but the various bou-tiques were far out of her price range.

According to Charles Zukow Associates, a firm in charge of mar-keting for Santana Row, the complex offers visitors 105 different restau-rants and shops, in addition to the 198 luxury lofts, 36 town homes and 21 executive villas nestled above the retail spaces.

"Love or hate Santana Row, it’s caus-ing changes in our cityscape and at kast that is undeniable, said Nguyen.

Nguyen believes Santana ROW gives San Jose "massive potential to evolve into something it could have been years ago.

Linda Nguyen, a Santana Row leasing agent, shows Lois Richtand, a public relations account executive with Charles Zukow Associates, the view from a second story loft of the street and stores below. Santana Row is a combination of housing, retail stores and restaurants.

’Miss Saigon’ tests power of love by Anne Ward

Da i61 ste Writer

A giant blood-orange sun backdrops the action as 17-yeu-old Kim, numbed by helplessly witnessing the loss of her parents and the destruction of her village, succumbs to working at a not-so-dreamy nightclub called Dreamland.

It is April 1975, and Saigon is slip-ping under control from the enemy forces of the North Viemam. The bar girls dance with and bed American Marines who frequent Dreamland,

REVIEW where harbored hopes of escaping South Viemam are sung about in "The Movie in My Nlind. Though they sing of the men, "there is nothing in their hearts," the desperate girls for-sake romance viewing them as "mostly noise" but try to snag an American husband who can take them to a land of freedom.

The Engineer, a modem-day pimji and owner and operator of Dreamier’ presents a fresh-looking, timid Kim to the hardened bargirls who taunt and tease her innocent appearance as they ready themselves for the concocted "Miss Saigon" beauty contest.

Kim, the slimy Engineer’s "fresh meat," is pushed forward on display for the ogling men to paw. While the other girls provocatively gyrate and solicit, Kim, played by Dina Lynn Morishita, wistfiilly sings she has a "heart like the sea." The "movie" in Kim’s mind searches for a man who will protect and keep her safe.

Morishita’s singing in the beginning of the production is noticeably meeker than the voice of the brazen bar girl, Gigi (played by Adrienne Sam), who tells one GI that she’d malce a good wife for him.

Chris and John, who both work at the American Embassy in Saigon, are among the watchers. Chris (played by Aaron Ramey) is in the final days of his second tour of duty and views Kim like a beacon of light through thunder-clouds of a storm. He is drawn to her. Looking to cheer up his buddy Chris, John buys him an evening with Kim from the slick-talking Engineer (played by Kevin Gray).

Gray’s portrayal of thc Engineer is captivating as his lips curl up in Grinch-like anticipation with each manipulative move.

Chris and Kim find in each other and their lovemaking a respite from the atrocities of war. Ramey s Chris is reminiscent of the high school boy who finds love in a 12-pack of beer as he swaggers across the stage like John Wayne with his holster slinging low on one hip, singing "Why God Why?" Chris is supposed to be facing the inner conflict of the untimely finding of beauty on the heels of years of ugli-ness, but Ramey just comes off as a boy who wakes up the next morning and doesn’t Icnow how he ended up with that woman in his bed.

Later, Chris calls John at the Embassy saying he needs to spend morc time with Kim. John (played by

Alan H. Green) tells Chris that Saigon is falling and urges him to return to the Embassy. Even in those frantic, impending-dimger moments, Green’s singing is overshadowed by a set of pearly whites that almost always seem to be bending in to an out-of-place smile.

Chris resolves his struggle by asking Kim to live with him. Giddy with delight she asks if she can bring friends to bless their room, in keeping with her traditions, with paper uni-corns and perfume. Kim and her friends set up a small shrine with pho-tos of ICim’s parents. 1Cim, donning a tiara and veil-like scarf, leads the gath-erers in a song, "Dju Vui Vai," which she tells Chris is traditionally sung at weddings. Chris awkwardly tries to participate in the ceremony � this is one time it’s easy to believe Ramey’s performance.

The ceremony is abruptly interrupted by Thuy, to whom ICim was promised in marriage by her parents. Thuy (played by Erv.in G. Urbi) tells Kim he has been searching for her and wants to claim her as his bride. Kim refuses to go professing her love and commit-ment to Chris. Urbi skillfully takes an outraged Thuy from lovesick to deranged in a fluid emotional stream predicting that "Saigon will fall and so will your or

Chris tells ICim that he has decided to take her to Arnerica with him.

Three years later, the Engineer, who was earlier seen slithering around in a shiny purple suit, is now found bow-ing, scraping his lcnees in dirty black "re-education" prison garb and profess-ing his brainwashed loyalty to Unde Ho. Gray pulls off an equally smarmy loyalist as he does brothel-owner, who will do artiing to get out of Vietnam and into erica.

We learn Chris has found love in Arnerica and has married Ellen (played by !Catherine Von Till). Ellen senses Chris has a secret in his past, and oceans apart, Kim and Ellen sing the same song, "I Still Believe." ICims rendition tells her tale,"as long as I can keep believing, I will live," as one who lives where there is little to believe in, arid little to live for. With nothing but dirt and poverty to focus on, she clings to the memory of Chris.

The Engineer is successful locating Kim and takes Thuy to her. ICim reveals she has a son, Tam, whose father is the Arnerican, Chris. Thuy, calls Tam the enemy as Kim vows to protect her son.

The Engineer makes his way through the city trying to devise some scheme that will_ get him a visa to the United States. He is about to leave when Kim appears with Tam in tow, and the sly Engineer sees Tam as his passport to Arnerica. John is found at a meeting speaking

to veterans about "bui doi," the dust of life. Bui doi are the children "con-ceived in hell, bom in strife" who have American fathers who don’t want them or are unaware of their existence and ViettlaMeSe mothers wanting to send them to America to avoid the pain and suffering they have endured in their homeland. The video shown in the background draws out more emotion than the exchange where John tells Chris that ICim bore him a

child. Chris agonizes because he has never

told Ellen about his love for ICim. John convinces Chris that he must take Ellen with him to Bangkok to see Kim and resolve his parental responsibili-ties.

In Bangkok, Kim is again working for the unctuous Engineer, but now she has lost that glow of innocence as she dances on the stage at another club. Her singing has grown with her

character. Outside, John approaches the Engineer, and thc reunion begins. John explains to Kim that Chris is in town and vvill come to sec her. She believes it was her faith and their love for each other that brought them back together. John tries, but he does not find a way to tell Kim about Ellen.

That night Kirn has a nightmare that dredges up a ghostly Thuy. Urbi again simultaneously delights and frightens. Some unanswered questions are finally

explained in her dream, and VirC are led to a scene with syrupy Ellen in true Tammy Wynette "stand by your man" fashion, vows her love.

Chris and Ellen prove to be a made-for-each-other couple as together they decide what would be best for them and for Kim and Tam.

The ending, to which Kim alludes in more than one song, is better left unsaid for those that want to see this epic lovestory.

POPSHORT: Justin Timberlake can’t shed old pop idol skin

Justin Timberlake Just !tied Jive Records

In the over-saturated landscape of teen pop, artists walk a fine line between being adored by millions and disappearing from the musical radar completely.

I,!,tin Timberlake is one of those

artists. Whether it was his highly publicized

relationship and subsequent breakup with Britney Spears, or his emergence as the front man of ’Nsync, Timberlake has somewhat effortlessly put himself in the position to outlast the 15 min-utes of fame he was given � almost.

"Justified," Timberlake’s first solo effort, is most definitely not ’Nsync part two. Somehow though, it doesn’t even seem like Justin Timberlake part one.

A jumble of glossy R&B tracks, sticky ballads and unorthodox dance songs, "Justified" combines many ele-ments of today’s popular music, but it leaves out what some critics and fans alike were anticipating: Timberlake’s raw talent presented from beyond the confines of the boy-band stigma.

Although the entire package is a wel-come change from what we re used to

That was more than double the amount of second -place "The Santa Clause 2," which had S24.7 million in its second week but slightly less than Sunday’s estimated returns of $54.5 million for "8 Mile."

l’he buzz-cut blond Etninem, whose hostile rhymes have sometimes fea-tured fantasies about slaying his ex-wife and hiding her body, attracted not only his traditional teen fan base, but many curious nonfans to the story about a poor boy trying to make it in the world of hip-hop.

Universal Pictures reported that about 30 percent of the audience for the R-rated film was older than 25.

hearing from Timberlake and crew, he still has yet to come into his own, hid-ing behind high-profile guest artists such as Janet Jackson and Bubba Spanooc, as well as the trendy, yet capa-ble, producing talents of The Neptunes.

Timberlake spends too much time dwelling on his obvious industry sup-port by taking basic pop songs and tweaking them into vehicles that just might appeal to a broader audience.

Track one, "Senorita," is the first of many of the disc’s hard to define songs � mostly mixes of hip-hop beats set against flashy samples and Timberlalce’s unmistakable falsetto.

Ballads such as "Take It From Here" and "Never Again" serve as obvious jabs at Spears but ultimately end up sounding only like Backstreet Boys wannabes.

The ultimate kiss-off is issued

through the Timbal and -produced "Cry Me A River," where Timberlake utters the words "You told me you loved me/VVhy did you leave me all alone?"

Not surprisingly, the Timbaland-produced (And She Said) Take Me Now" and "(Oh No) What You Got" are the most radio-friendly songs on thc record. Though not as radio-friendly, "Right For Me," also a Timbaland track, is the disc’s hidden gem, combining a Timbaland beatbox baseline, soulful vocal delivery by Timberlake and a rap by Sparxxx.

Channeling idol Michael Jackson, "Rock Your Body" is a fun dance song reminiscent of tracks from Jacksons 1979 megahit disc "Off The Wall."

As it becomes increasingly more apparent that the teen pop bubble is about to burst, TRL favorites find themselves scrambling to ditch their

Harry Potter films stifle original

interpretations NEW YORK (AP) � Fifth -

grader Guido Girrnti couldn’t wait to sec the first Harry Potter" movie and will probably see the second, which opens this week.

But something has been lost in the process.

"The tirst time I read the books, I was imagining in my mind how I thought it looked," he said. "After I saw the movie (last year), all I could imagine was scenes from the movie. I don’t really likc that."

Fans of J.K. Rowling have long created separate, personal pictures in their minds froni reading her Harry Potter stories. But the sin-gular images of Hollywood, filled with special effects and bcamed larger than life on theater screens, can challenge � and sometimes destroy -- what readers imagine on their own.

Guido and about 30 other fourth and fifth graders at PS. 3 in down-town Manhattan talked recently about how the "Harry Potter" movies � "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" and "Harry Pottcr and the Chamber of Secrets" � affect the books.

"Just like Guido, I love the Harry Potter books and I could imagine everything in my mind without having anybody tell me what it should be," said classmate Pace Lee. "After the movie I read the books one more time, and I could-n’t think of anything except the movie scenes.

"In the movie, there’s the part where they’re playing the gigantic chess game." But when PaCC read the book, he said, "I thought it was more like they became the pieces, instead of (in the movie) when they’re riding the pieces."

Some readers can’t be blamed for picturing a movie star in their minds. For publishers, the "tie-in" has long been a favorite marketing technique, using a famous face to sell hundreds of thousands books.

This fall, for example, Picador USA issued a special paperback edition of "The Hours," a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel being released as a movie starring Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore, whose pictures appear on the book’s cover.

"It’s like putting a new book out entirely," ’says Christine Preston, director of publicity at Picador.

But some, including Rowling’s publisher, resist an obvious con-nection to the film. Scholastic Inc., which releases the Potter books in the United States, does not have any movie stills on thc covers of the two books adapted so far.

Should Hollyviood stop making movies out of the Potter books? Guido Girgenti thinks they should leave it at two and let read-ers enjoy the latter novels on their own terms. But Pace Lee thinks the movies might as well go on � they help get more kids interested in the books, and they’re great entertainment.

"Yes, the book is better," he says. "But it’s fun to sit down in your scat with popcorn, Colo and see a movie."

Arnold’s 10 tackles SJSU prepares for MPSF tourney earn WAC award

Daily Staff Report

San Jose State University safety CJ. Arnold was named Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the week ending Nov. 10 as announced by the conference office in Englewood, Colo., on Monday.

SPARTAN ROUNDUP Arnold recorded 10 tacldes against

Louisiana Tech University during Saturday’s 42-30 victory. His big play of the day came with less than nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter when he intercepted a pass from Bulldogs quarterback Luke McCown and returned in 38 yards for a touchdown.

Arnold sprinted from his line and stepped in front of the pass bound for wide receiver DJ. Curry.

The touchdown gave the Spartans their first lead of the day at 29-23.

"C.J. was a nonrecruited guy com-ing here, and then he goes and seals the game for us," SJSU head coach Fitz Hill said. "We’re grateful to have him on the team."

SJSU leads the nation in intercep-tions with 20, one more than Arizona State University’s 19.

Nationally, the Spartans are second to the Sun Devils in total takeaways, 33-32.

Arnold became the fourth different Spartan this season after linebacker Luke LaHerran, safety Gerald Jones and defensive end Philip Perry to receive a WAC Player of the VVeek award.

University of Nevada-Reno wide receiver Nate Burleson garnered the WAC Offensive Player of the Week award after catching 19 balls for 179

yards and a touchdown in the Wolf Pack’s 23-17 victory over the University of Texas-El Paso.

Punt returner Tim Gilligan of Boise State Pniversity was named WAC Special Teams Player of the Week after returning three punts for 96 yards, including one luck for a career-long 63 yards in the Broncos 49-7 shamming of Rice University.

SJSU is scheduled to return to action on Saturday at the University of Tulsa.

Swimming and diving

Spartan swimmer Alana Leila was named WAC swimming and diving athlete of the week for her perform-ance in the Spartans Saturday tri-meet against UC Santa Cruz and the University of Utah.

Leila, a sophomore, won the 100-meter backstroke with a season-best time of 59.23 seconds and captured the 200-meter backstroke in a season-best time of two minutes, 10.9 seconds.

Lella was also a member of the 200-meter freestyle relay team that was victorious at 1:40.73.

The Spartans defeated Santa Cruz 155-121 but lost to Utah 133-108.

SJSU’s next meet is slated for Friday as it hosts Cal Berkeley and Oregon State University at thc Aquatics Center. On Saturday, the Spartans will also host Rice.

Brewer done for year

Sean Brewer, a former tight end for the SJSU football team who was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2001, was placed on the idjured reserve list on Nov. 5.

Brewer was labeled inactive after suffering an injury to his left knee, which required season-ending sur-gery. It is the second straight season Brewer has been sidelined by an injury

Fresh from a 2-1- overtime victory against Sacramento State University on Sunday, the Spartans are heading off to the University of New MexiCo in Albuquerque for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation tourna-ment.

SPARTAN SOCCER

THE

91" MINUTE NOTEBOOK

Men’s soccer head coach Gary St. Clair said he was optimistic about the team’s chances for winning the championship.

"We have a winning hand to start," he said. "We have a lot of good play-ers."

As No. 2 seed, San Jose State University receives a first-round bye and will play Friday against the vic-tor of Thursday’s University of Nevada-Las Vegas and Air Force Academy match. A win is essential to advancing to the championship game on Sunday.

"We have to win Friday night," he said. "I don’t mean to sound cliche,

but we have to take things one game at a time."

No. 1 seed New Mexico also receives a first-round bye and will play the winner of the University of De nve r and Sacramento State match. The championship match will pit the winner of the New Mexico and SJSU games against each other. If New Mexico and SJSU win and advance to the champi-onships, the Spartans will face the only conference team to defeat them this season.

St. Clair said his strategy for beat-ing New Mexico will remain simple.

"We won’t change anything," he said. "I feel we thoroughly dominat-ed New Mexico. We did everything except win the game. We felt we were the better team.

New Mexico men’s soccer head coach Jeremy Fishbein said he is optimistic about the conference.

"I feel pretty good," he said. "We’ve done well in the conference, done well at home."

Fishbein said his team would focus on strong defense and team cohe-siveness to defeat SJSU.

"SJSU is probably the team to beat," he said. "I’ve been impressed with them. They’re a real quality team."

The winner of the championship earns an automatic bid to the 2002 NCAA tournament.

UPDATE NEWS I Editing among tougher tasks

PHOTOS BY DANIELLE GILLETT, DAILY STAFF

Van Nguyen, Gabrille Nuhn and Cecilia Yuen all edit their tapes for Friday’s broadcast of Update News. The editing process can take between a half hour and three hours depending on the student’s experience.

though because we can talk to each other."

With seven students enrolled in the class, associate professor Grace Provenzano said the class is roughly half the size of last semester’s.

"It’s a very small class, so they all have to pull overtime," she said.

This is Provenzano’s first semester overseeing the Update News class, and she said she is trying to implement changes into the program.

One of the adjustments she has made is requiring students to comply with a schedule that leaves no room for tardiness.

"Deadline (for completed tapes) is a strict 6 p.m. on Thursday," she said. "If you can’t make deadline, you’re no good to anyone."

Provenzano said her reason for creat-ing a rigid deadline is to prepare her students for the real world.

She said the class has been trained in reporting, writing and handling record-ing and editing equipment, and they are now at a point in their lives where they should utilize their education.

"It’s ncnv time to make it all come together," she said.

Monday marks the beginning of a hectic worloveek for the class.

Students meet with Provenzano to get her feedback on story ideas and to hear suggestions for possible angles to pursue.

After she approves their topics, stu-dents start on a three-day Informa-tion-gathering journey.

From shooting interviews to editing the material and putting it onto diskette, the students are responsible for every aspect of their story.

Gabrielle Nuhn, a senior joumalism major and anchor for Update News, said producing the news program takes time and effort.

"I put more time into this than any-thing else in my life," she said.

. Last Wednesday, Nuhn set out in pursuit of visuals for a story she was doing about a new major being offered by the Global Studies Institute that is intended to benefit students interested in finding international jobs.

Lugging the large, outdated video camera and tripod supplied by Update News behind her, she trekked across campus to the Study Abroad Office with the hopes of getting some useful shots.

The office was small, arid her equip-ment was not. Nuhn had to adjust the angles of the camera without knocking something off of one of the two desks in the room. After getting several shots of posters boasting international themes and a shelf of binders donning the names of different countries, Nuhn packed up and went to the Career Center.

After obtaining permission to shoot there, a process that took more than 15 minutes, Nuhn set up her camera again and took several shots of books about traveling and international studies.

"That s why this is so time consum-ing," she said. "You do everything."

After Nuhn was done gathering shots for her piece, she joined the rest of the class in the editing room, where students put together the tapes that are later aired.

The editing room consists of four functional editing machines and two digital editing machines that anchor Paul Vogelsanger said no one in the class Icnows how to use.

There are two screens at each editing table, one recorder and one that plays the tape of the students’ material.

The editing process is not only a les-son in creating a video but also teach-es students the importance of patience, Vogelsanger said.

"Through trial and error, you figure out what works," he said.

Vogelsanger said the most time-con-suming aspect of the process involves recording and editing the voice-overs. Voice-overs, which arc the recorded voices of the reporters, are the founda-tion of the editing process because they are laid down first and video is

edited to match the voice. This process is carried out in a

sound-proof closet, lined with egg-crate mattresses, in the comer of the Update News room.

A stuffed animal wearing an "Update News" shirt is perched on a shelf, and anchor Rio Pesino said the rabbit serves a purpose in the editing process by marking the voice-over.

"I arrange the bunny at different angles to cue different sound bites," he said.

Matching up the words with the graphics can be a frustrating experi-ence for some students because the final product must blend together per-fectly.

Anchor Cecilia Yuen said editing can take hours, depending on the stu-dent’s experience.

"It ranges from half an hour to three hours," she said.

Yuen said a challenging aspect of editing is calculating the frames before someone speaking appears on screen because there is no way to gauge the timing.

"You have to keep testing until it’s right," she said.

Once the editing is complete, stu-dents save their material onto a diskette that is uscd for the live show. They are required to supply the televi-sion director, Reymolds, with a down-to-the-second account of what their report will be, including every word that is spoken during the piece.

The finished pieces arc then loaded into a computer system and set the foundation for the show. Students must maintain the rhythm of the scripts because every piece is timed to the second, Reynolds said.

At 1:30 p.m. last Friday, an hour before the live show, Reynolds joined the Update News anchors to go over the program’s agenda.

"The word for the day is aggressive," he said. "We need to get in a rhythm together."

Reynolds and Provenzano helped the students with their tosses � tran-sitions from segment to segment.

At 1:50 p.m., Reynolds joined the technical crew on the set of the show located in Dwight Bentel Hall, to make sure the lighting, computer sys-tcm and crew is ready to go.

The crew is responsible for all of the technical aspects of the show, and each student performs the same job for the entire semester, said RTVF student and teleprompter operator Todd Banhazl.

All of the stories, including inter-views and everything the anchors are supposed to say, are on the prompters and he said his responsibility is to scroll down as they speak.

"You have to stay alert," he said. "You can’t look away from the screen."

Another vital role performed by the RTVF students is providing a stage manager who is responsible for keep-ing the anchors informed as to what the director wants, said stage manager Victor Velazquez.

"I’m the eyes and mouth for the director," he said.

The crew is able to communicate with the anchors and one another through thc use of headsets and ear-pieces.

Responsible for putting graphics onto the screen is Lisbet Perez, a sen-ior RTVF student.

Perez said this is her fourth semester working at Update News and said the experience of working for a live, com-mercial -free show is valuable.

"The advantage here for RTVF stu-dents is if you want to go into a TV specialty, you do one thing for the entire semester," she said.

While the technical crew is getting things ready behind the scenes, the Update News anchors Are preparing for their television Appearances.

All of the anchors are required to wear a great deal of makeup to prevent "shining," Yuen said.

"I go home and wash my face likc four times," shc said.

Thcy also spend this time practicing the question-and -answer segment of the show, planning and timing their

Patricia Hidalgo and Cecilia Yuen, seniors in broadcast journalism, get ready for the broadcast of Update News Friday afternoon.

responses. At 2:10 p.m., the anchors join the

technical staff and do a dry run to make sure the anchors and storics are in synch, and at 2:30 p.m., thc show is on.

While the anchors presented their pieces, Reynolds and his crew were busy making sure everything was run-ning according to plan.

Provenzano held a timer as she watched the program from thc screens in the technical room.

If a segment were to go 10 seconds beyond what WaS expected, she said she would have to cut segments from the bottom of the schedule to com-pensate for the lost time.

"When you have six minutes left in the show, you have to know what to drop," she said.

After Friday’s show, Provenzano said it went well and according to plan, and the anchors, some wearing suit jackets. with jeans, stepped away from their anchor console.

Provenzano said her goal is to teach the class how to present the news in a relaxed manner, regardless of thc stress that accompanies producing a live show.

"The thing is not making it look so choreographed," shc said. "Nothing is by accident, except mkrakes."

"This is an expensive major; you have to boy stuff all the time, he said. "I’m worried about the person who doesn’t have money."

Financing will be available to stu-dents, Wilcox said.

"Cost is a concern of the faculty and the university," Wilcox said. "But Apple Computers will be offering a very good discount to San Jose State students on I-books."

While this project is a joint effort between San Jose State University and Apple, the university will not require students to have Apple laptops in par-ticular.

"Apples are not user-friendly," said Reina Alvarez, a junior majoring in advertising.

"I’d be willing to do a payment pro-gram for a personal computer, not an Apple," she said.

Student aid and long-term loan-lease programs are also an option, Wilcox said.

The many software programs that will be required will be offered at reduced rates at the student book-store.

"The art and design software will cost more than the computer," Wilcox said. "But by bundling the software, you’re getting a major discount."

The hope is to eventually transform every classroom within the chosen departments into a wireless lab.
