censorship.

"The government cannot use its power andauthority to enforce its opinions," Reed stated.

The latest argument has been that student gov-

ernment can control content because 40 percent ofThe Arbiter's budget is supported by student fees.That, said Reed during the free speech session, is

"bull." We students pay ourselves in part to publish

the paper, but those fees do not allow any form of

government to control content. Why? Because uni-versity officials are paid by the state. Recall thatgovernment cannot legally censor. This applies to

student government as well because it is a local

branch of government. Publications are protectedby the First Amendment which means no branch ofthe government-federal, state or local--ean cen-sor The Arbiter.

When it comes down to it, the editor decides thenewspaper's content. No amount of ASBSU~spon-sored resolutions can reverse the decisions of the

many court cases settled in favor of student news-papers. In fact, any government branch attemptingto shut down a publication will find itselfembroiled in a nasty court case, and will almostcertainly lose.

. However, just because the Constitution protects

The Arbiter's right to free speech does not mean westaff members are entitled to deliberately and habit-ually offend. Responsibility and sensitivity need toplaya role in publications, but there will always bestories or opinions that offend readers. The biggest

mistake in life is to try to please everyone. Howtrue.

An interesting thing, free speech. I recentlyattended the annual College Media Convention in

New York, and discovered BSU is one amongmany campuses struggling to sort out free speechissues, Recent events concerning the ASBSUSenate and Resolution #21-which was finallykilled-prompt me to share the constitutional

details applying to free speech and the public uni-versity.

John David Reed of Eastern Illinois University,who spoke on "First Amendment Rights-WhyCollege Press is Free," began with the clarificationthat speech and action are two separate entities.Action can be punished, speech cannot.

That concept, in relation to The Arbiter and con-troversy over columnist Damon Hunzeker, takes aninteresting twist. If Hunzeker had sought out blackstudents, shoved his finger in their faces and saidEbonies was a bunch of crap, he would be pun-ished. However, mere expression of an opinion isprotected by the First Amendment.

A public university is a slate agency. Under theFirst and 14th Amendments the university-c-or anyother branch of government-pannot control con-tent. Government, including student government,cannot tell student newspapers what can or cannot

be published because the Constitution prohibits

The Arbiter is the officioI student newspaper of Boise State University. Its mission is to provide a forum for thediscussion of issues impacting the campus and the community.

THEARBITER WEDNESDAY,APRIL2, 1997 ________________________ OPINION3

Comets - They bring out the tiger in you!by Kelly MillingtonOpinion Editor

I have to marvel at the stupidity of the human race,"transporters" that we are. Before I start in on theHeaven's Gate cult, let me relay a true accorrnt from theDeep South, since it all has to do with Hale-Bopp any-way.

It's a hot day in small town Arkansas; hot,astronomers say, because Hale-Bopp is nearing the earthand disrupting weather pallerns. A lady shopping at thelocal grocery reluctantly makes her way into the sun andheat. She suddenly stops as she spies a woman in a near-by car clutching her hand to her head, white goop oozingbetween her fingers.

The lady coming fromthe grocery runs to the womanin the car, who cries that she's been shot in the head.

"I was standing here and heard a loud pop," she saysanxiously. "I know I've been shot-I'm holding mybrains in."

The shopping lady runs to a pay phone and calls foremergency personnel. She returns to the woman in thecar to comfort the hapless victim until the ambulancearrives.

But, upon inspection, emergency personnel determine

the woman has not been shot and is hardly keeping herbrains from escaping. Instead, they discover she hadpurchased a tube of freezer dough-you know, of thePillsbury ilk: When she walked outside the store, she feltso hot she held the unopened tube to her forehead. Itexploded onto the side of her head, and she automatical-ly assumed she'd been shot.

Query: Where was the bloodand where was the shockresulting frominjury?Somebodymust havetakenher

brains,and I say it

was the aliens in theUFO "tucked behind the

comet Hale-Bopp."

Which leads to my next query on the evolution ofthinking capabilities in humans. If we're evolving into arace that needs weirder and more unscientific beliefs to

answer eternal questions, count me out. I'm still stupe-fied over the reasoning that leads 39 people to believethey will physically ascend to the "Next Level" by poi-soning themselves to board the savior UFO. Not onlydid they ready their own bodies, but they packed theirbags, storing them at the foot of each bed, and left U.S.

currency in their pants pockets. What good, praytell, will quarters and dollar bills be on another

planet? And as for suitcases of clothing,who's to say these aliens don't wear togas,or anything at all?

I'm sort of side-tackling a serious issuehere. I just can't figure out how people can

give their minds and bodies to another humanbeing in hopes of salvation and a peaceful eternity.

Why do they? According to experts I've heard or read, acult leader preys upon peoples' insecurities, promisingwealth, peace and salvation and whatever else he (orshe) can use to suck followers in for the small fee of anew Saturn coupe (sarcasm mine). Here's my input to .anyone considering cults or some other risky venture: Ifit sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

. Now, in spite of my attempt to seriously rationalizedeath by Phenobarbital and vodka, I gotta say eternitylooks more attractive when you're assaulted by thePillsbury dough boy.

by Jennifer LedfordColumnist

On March 13, the ASBSU Senate debated whether tofund religious student organizations.

Those opposed, in general, appealed to theConstitution.

"We're going against the Constitution," SenatorMartins lamented. "Give it time. [Churches] will be inhere telling us what to do. The whole point of separationof church and state is that one not corrupt the other. Itscares me."

Those in favor of allowing ASBSU to-fund religiousorganizations argued that failing to do so would amountto discrimination.Benator Pena read from the StudentHandbook the university's policy against discriminationbased on race, sex and religion.

"We are discriminating," said Pena. "We say we'lltry to look after the issues of all students-but here wego 'whoa whoa whoa.' We're going against our ownpolicy."

Senator Mays partially agreed. He said, "It is a formof discrimination to [make students] pay but not [allowtheir organizations to] receive fu~ds."

Individual senators felt divided on this issue. On theone hand, ASBSU's funding of a religious group couldrepresent a form of endorsing that group's religion,especially considering that one meaning of the word'endorse' is 'give money to.' On the other hand, with-holding from certain students a benefit conferred on allother qualified organizations, and a benefit for which

those students' fees help pay, looks uncomfortably likediscrimination.

In gathering my thoughts on this issue, I originallyplanned to say something such as the following:'It is true that not funding religious student organiza-

tions amounts to discrimination, in the sense that a bene-fit open to all is being denied one category of peoplebased on nothing more than their religion. It is equallytrue that funding them would violate the separation ofchurch and state, in the sense that state money would goto religious purposes.

Normally the principles of nondiscrimination andseparation of church and state do not interfere with eachother in this way. In fact, these principles should nevercome into conflict. They are in conflict now because ofa bad policy. BSU put itself in a position where it had toviolate one of these revered principles the day it decidedto fund student organizations.

What is there in the nature of a state college, or in thenature of a group of students interested in something,that compels the former to give money to the latter?When did it become part of an educator's responsibilityto pay the Chinese Club, or the Bowling Club, or theStudent Jazz Enthusiasts, anything at all? (All these clubnames are made up, so far as I know.)

In practice, BSU is 'endorsing' every student clubthat receives funds; and if we use Martin's argument,BSU endorses not only the clubs themselves but whatthey stand for, be it tennis, German culture, or theRepublican or Democratic platform. Discrimination con-flicts with the idea of not endorsing religion in this case

because endorsement provides the very benefit beingdiscriminatorily held back.

BSU sits in a very tight spot: it must either endorsereligious groups or discriminate against them because ithas set a precedent of endorsing any club that appliesand qualifies. The only difference is that there's no con-stitutional principle of the separation of tennis and state,the separation of German and state, or the separation ofRepublicans and state.

This, then, is what I was going to write, and I stillbelieve most of it. I don't wholly understand the purposeof funded student organizations; I'd rather my tuitionwere spent on more books, professor salaries, tutors, andlanguage and computer facilities. But, given the sorryprecedent that student organizations do exist and receivefunds, an idea has occurred to me that casts doubt onwhether funding a religious organization would reallycross the line separating church from slate.

The idea behind that overused phrase, 'separation ofchurch and state,' is that the government will not perse-cute, nor specially promote, anyone religion. But whatabout the state's relationship to religion in general?

Take a stylized, but representative, example. SayASBSU gives $2,000 each to the College Atheists, theCollege Christians, the College Pagans and the CollegeSatanists. (Again, none of these groups exist, to myknowledge.) Say each group spends it on the following:brochures promoting their world view, a dance at whichto make friends and to promote their club, and a coffeehouse-style discussion group at which to inform peopleabout their religion and perhaps convince them of itsverity. What is the net effect? Zero! None of the clubs orreligions has been given any edge over the other, at leastnot by Boise State. The net effect may be that religiousideas are discussed more freely and more often, but thatcan hardly be against the Constitution. In fact, it seemslikea rather healthy thing for an educational institutionto make happen.

The sorry precedent of student organizations willprobably not go away. So I suggest to BSU that, as longas religious organizations are funded indiscriminately,BSU's adherence to the Constitution will not have beencompromised.

'Nerdstroms' did the right thing

Portions of Asencion Ramirez's opinion column"The Day the Nerdstroms Took Our Laser Printer"(March 19) were entertaining even if misleading andincomplete. False claims of assault, however, are neverentertaining.

The writer failed to report that The Arbiter's brokenprinter interfered with people using the BSU computernetwork in the SUB, Math-Geology, and PublicAffairs/Art West buildings. We had previously informedThe Arbiterof that. The writer failed to report that weprovided a loaner printer. The writer also failed to reportthat we informed The Arbiter that in order to allow oth-ers to use the network properly, we would remove thebroken printer were it reconnected before repair. Ourchoice was simple: Remove the broken printer or standby while it shut down the network in the above build-ings.

In November the university adopted a plan to rebuildthe BSU data network because of university-wide dissat-

isfaction with a network that would not work. The uni-versity charged the Office of Information Technologywith making the BSU computer network operate for thebenefit ofthe entire university community. If that meanstaking such steps as removing broken equipment thatkeeps others from using the network, we will do so.

Point A: Ramirez stated, "An angry confrontationbetween College of Business and Economics SenatorMichael Pefia and employees of the Recreation Center inthe Student Union has led one student to accuse Pefia ofallegedly misusing his ASBSU title."

First.Pefia was the only one who was con-frontational. Jody McAnany, Rec CenterDesk Lead Employee, and Rob Lyons,Student Union Manager, repeatedly askedPefia 10 calm down so they could addresshis problem.

Second, one student did not accuse Pefiaof misusing his title, many did.

Third, Pefia stated, "The place was packed with angrystudents," implying they were angry with the Rec Centerstaff. I think the only angry students were the ones whohad to watch an arrogant, pretentious, self-serving, yetstudent-elected representative throw a temper tantrumover 50 cents and the unwillingness of the RC'cCenter totreat him like a king.

a sense of arrival to visitors and students.

Extending the organization of the central quadrangleat the Administration Building to other sectors, and shar-ing open space with intervening corridors and paths areintended to offer a sense of continuity throughout theentire campus. New trees will be planted and old onesmoved in order to create open space between the build-ings and corridors.

Another large feature of the master plan is the build-ing of four parking garages spread across the campus,ending as far east as Beacon Street. The need for thegarages will be measured against parking demandgrowth. Expecting adverse reactions to the parkingstructures, the firm promises to preserve the campus aes-thetics while providing efficient circulation. The struc-tures will be designed to blend with the other campusbuildings and keep the collegiate campus character,which will develop as the new academic buildingsemerge around the same time.

The parking garages will be four to five stories high,with an internal ramp system. Two are scheduled nearthe Morrison Center on the west side of campus, withone in the middle and one set on the east side. The firmwill also consider closing smaller through streets inorder to tie the campus together, and creating pedestrianpathways leading from the garages.

One student liked this idea.

"I'm sick of never finding a parking spot in front ofmy house [on Michigan Street]."

Maps from the plan are presently on exhibit in theFireside Lounge next to the Student Information Centerin the SUB. There is no set schedule for the master planto develop. The firm is also designing the CanyonCounty branch campus to most likely serve non-tradi-tional students.

NEWS 6-------- ----. THEARBITER WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1997

Campu's masterplan unveiledThe Portland architectural firm of Zimmer-Gunsul-

Frasca Partnership has been working on a campus mas-ter plan that will guide the university's growth in thefuture. One of its representatives discussed the plans attwo meetings held in the Student Union March 17-18.

BSU President Charles Ruch lauded the plan asfocusing on a long-term view that will give the campus abroader panorama and magnify it as an institution thisdecade and beyond.

The master plan represents a synthesis of findings onpresent conditions, outward expansion, stretching theefficiency of the campus, problems with pedestrian-cyclist-vehicle circulation, and parking.

The main idea of the plan is to bring a more compactorganization to BSU, to respect original campus idealsand geographic neighbors. The firm intends on breakingthe campus into parts and separate functions to achieve acompleted system.

Instead of adding on to the surface area of the cam-pus, the firm wants to fill in vacated space with collegeclusters lending close access between buildings withsimilar activities. This will be reinforced by a new stu-dent services building, a new student recreation build-ing, a new campus safety office and expanded StudentUnion Building, all to be clustered around UniversityDrive and Lincoln Avenue. A competitive tennis centerand a women's soccer field are in the line-up as well.The redevelopment of the Vo-Tech area with an athleticfield, new parking structure and academic buildingswould strengthen the linkages between the main campusand the expansion area.

To amend the rising ~irculation problem amongpedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, the pockets of parking

throughout the campus will be removed and UniversityDrive will be narrowed. Fast through-routes for cyclistswill be added since the plan does not allow for heavytraffic flow circulation on this street.

Gerry Flag, a student concerned with the new plan,said, "I've been waiting for the car-bicyclist accident inthe parking lots. It's scary out there. Everyone's in sucha hurry, and the cars don't slow for us." There will beadded landscaping and transit stops along with the newbike lanes.

A pedestrian campus environment forms a centraltheme of the overall master plan. The network at thecentral quadrangle will extend to the west and southeastsectors of the campus. The Greenbelt corridor-alongCampus Drive will be redeveloped as a primary pedes-trian open space with wide curbs, special paving, lightsand other furnishings. This drive will be limited topedestrians and cyclists; vehicles will be allowed alongthis pathway only during sporting events. The routesfrom University Drive will link directly to the Greenbelt,aiding in efficiency, and will be wide enough to allowboth pedestrians and cyclists easy access. This part ofthe plan pleases students.

"I'm glad to see that they're focusing on theGreenbelt as being a part of campus. We really needthat, and it's been ignored," Laura Giess commented onthe master plan map.

To create more open space, trees may be cleared outon the bank to lessen the dense wall blocking the viewof Julia Davis Park on the north side of the river. Thefirm stressed this would help with the feeling of continu-ity between the campus and park which are presentlytwo separate entities.

Since the Administration Building was the first struc-ture built for the university and serves as the center ofcampus, a new entrance on the south side will help give

After a tortured debate March 13, the ASBSU Senatepassed Senate Bill #43, which will allow ASBSU tofund student religious organizations. Currently these

The debate opened with comments from the gallery.Lance Ogren, a student and member of the BSU organi-zation Campus Crusade for Christ, presented his opinionthat the question was "a student fees issue."

"Each student has a right to belong to any organiza--tion," Ogren asserted again and again, adding, "I'm hereas a student. I pay my. student fees." Ogren maintained

that since students who belong to religious organizationspay fees like everyone else, they deserve to have theirorganizations funded as well.

Senator Michael Pefia, who helped draft the bill,agreed with Ogren. Pefia saw it as discriminatory towithhold funds from religious organizations. He pointedoul that the BSU Handbook forbids discrimination onthe basis of race, sex and religion. "We're going againstour own policy," Pefia declared. He admitted, however,that criteria for spending ASBSU funds need to beexamined; religious organizations' funds should nol godirectly to a local church, for example.

The strongest opposition to the bill came from thegallery, in the person of former senator Sean Murphy.Murphy saw bill #43 as "diametrically opposed to theseparation.of church and state." He referred the senate toa former attorney general's decision that BSU's fundingof religious organizations would constitute the taking of

Most of those senators who had not initiated bill #43approached it with great ambiguity. Nielson, Martensand Mays all expressed the conflict they felt over thebill. Martens and Mays even announced that when thevote came, they planned to abstain. "It's areal dilem-ma," said Martens. "[This bill] should have been killed. .. We have nothing to go on." Martens, however, hard-ened his position as the debate progressed and ended byvoting No. Late in the debate, he motioned that the sen-ate open its sessions with a prayer from now on.

Men's tennis teamwins 2 home matchesby Dan Robbins·

The Boise State men's tennis team welcomed in twoopponents, Miami and Clemson, and defeated both ontheir outdoor courts on campus.

During ttie first match Boise State faced theUniversity of Miami and won. The only loss the Broncossuffered against the 35th ranked Hurricanes came in thesingles event, when Ivan Rodrigo defeated DavidDalgaard. That was the only dull spot as the Broncoswon the rest of the singles matches; and swept the dou-bles for a convincing victory.

The highlight for the Broncos came from an upset vic-tory by Ernesto Diaz during the number one singles,when he defeated the highly-touted Mike Russel.

For the second match .of the weekend, the Broncosfaced 26th ranked Clemson. The Tigers put up a goodfight before falling to the Broncos 4-3.

After losing the doubles point, the Broncos made avaliant comeback and won four of six single matches totake the day.

The Broncos' next home match will take place April12 against the Idaho Vandals.

Women's· tennisteam takestournament titleby Dan Robbins

The Bronco women, playing in the Barbara ChandlerClassic, blasted three opponents to take the tournamentcrown.

In the opening round the 74th ranked women's tennisteam knocked off Nevada 7-2. The Broncos would haveswept the match, but lost the sixth spot in singles, andthe third spot in the doubles, both due to defaults.

As the Broncos moved on to the second round theyfaced Nebraska, and beat them 7-2. Another repeat ofthe first round arose from the fact that the Broncoswould have shut them out, except for having to give uptwo points due to forfeits on account of of injuries.

For the championship game, the Broncos defeatedSouthern Mississippi by the all-to-familiar score of 7-2,and once again lost only when forced to forfeit due toinjury.

The Bronco wrestling team sentfive of its members to the NCAAchampionships in Cedar Falls,Iowa, with high expectations inmind. But before the wrestling hadeven begun their hopes took a shotin the arm when their most promis-ing competitor failed to make hisweight.

After winning the Pac-IO cham-pionship in the 142-pound division,Dustin Young could not qualify forthat weight class at the nationals.That left the Broncos with fourother hopefuls, seniors ScottSurplus and Jeremy Clayton, andfreshmen Larry Quisel and RustyCook.

The seniors both lost their firsttwo matches and were out of thetournament. The freshmen, howev-er, fared much better and despitelosing the first round. Both fresh-men won two straight in the conso-lation brackets before losing thethird round. Quisel and Cook bothfinished the tournament withrespectable 2-2 records.

With the wins by Quisel andCook, the Broncos ended 47th inthe team rankings with four and ahalf points.

For the season, Dustin Youngfinished with a 24-5 record. Quiselcame home at 22-11 in the 150pound class. Surplus ended hiscareer at Boise State with a 13-8mark in the 177 pound class.

Free fallby Brandon C. Coales

I was spending the afternoon with a couple of my friends when wegot into a discussion about the ultimate thrill ride. We soon agreed thatthe ultimate thrill would be sky diving. The next question we askedeach other was where do we go in Idaho to skydive.

If you arc a thrill seeker or an adrenaline junky, try checking outSkydive Idaho at the Caldwell Airport. Gliding through the air with thegreatest of case? I guess that is what they call it, but why would you .want to jump out of a perfectly good plane? Why not!

The biggest aspiration for most beginning skydivers would be thesingle person free-fall. In order to become qualified to do a single per-son free-fall you must first learn to tandem jump. The tandem jumpinvolves you and a sky diver who will be attached to you and yourparachute. When you jump, the instructor will pull your chute for you.

Brain Corey, the owner of Skydivc Idaho, says the first step is totake a short training course. Next, Corey takes you up to 11,000 feetwhere you will be leaving that perfectly good airplane behind. Afterfalling 6,000 feet in approximately 45 seconds, your tandem jump part-ner will pull your cord and you arc going to have a scenic 4- to 5-minute ride back to mother earth. Your first tandem jump is going tocost $175.

If you enjoyed the tandem jump and feel ready to take the challengeof the free fall then you arc ready for Accelerated Free Fall course. Inthe AFF, you learn how to perform a free fall with the help of theinstructors. The cost of the AFF can vary depending on how manyjumps you make. If you want to make that first jump you can callSkydive Idaho at 455-0000, or visit them at the Caldwell Airport.

Idaho DanceTheatercontributesto BoiseState cultureby Courtney BohlSpecial to the Arbiter

In 1989, a small group ofchoreographers put their artistictalents to work and formedBSU's resident dance company,the Idaho Dance Theater. Thenas now, the purpose of the grouphas been to provide opportuni-ties for skilled dance students toperform with a professionalcompany, to bring dance as anart form to the public view andto use it as a tool for learning.

Since its beginning, lOT hasproduced more than 60 balletsand dances, toured throughoutOregon, Washington andWyoming, and displayed theirtalents to thousands of elemen-tary students in the Northwest.

The choreography lOT isknown for does not stem fromtypical ballet. Although thedancers and choreographers arcclassically trained, and many ofthe pieces reflect this, the musicand feelingsportrayed are oftenunconventional, thought-pro-voking or humorous.

lOT produces an average ofthree shows a year. as well assponsoring workshops and anintense summer dance camp.The company members comefrom impressive backgrounds,and many of them have per-formed with professional com-panies in large cities.

Their next performance, titled"Pinnacle," will take place onApril 4 and 5 at 8 p.m., and onApril 6 al 2 p.m, at the BSUSpecial Events Center. See thisweek's edition of Liner Notesfor more details.

•• •..-...-......Dread Zeppelinthrows a partyby Josh Casten

Is there a band anywhere more fun than Dread Zeppelin? Howcould there be? Last year's show was an absolute party, and springbreakers were treated to an equally enjoyable show last Thursday.

Their signature act, performing reggae covers of Led Zeppelinsongs with an Elvis impersonator at the microphone, is still a blast.Sure, it's essentially a novelty act, but oh, what fun.

After an update on the physical health of Tortelvis' water-and-towel provider Charlie Haj, the band kicked in to high gear with oneJ-105 standby after another, presented the way only they can do it.After "The Fisherman's Song" and "Stairway to Heaven," the bandspiced up the mix with a few of their originals, and a several songsfrom their most recent CD The Fun Sessions, a collection of non-Led Zep covers including "Baba O'Reilly" and "Smoke on theWater," which they played to a crowd full of upturned, clawedhands.

The band is still in fine form. Every instrumentalist was great,especially the Jamaican-rapping percussionist, and the bass playerwho looked suspiciously like The Arbiter's former Opinion EditorJoe Relk. The best, though, was the guitarist, known simply asButtboy. He was clad, as always, in a pair of bikini briefs and aflamboyant jacket, and shoved his pelvis around the stage. A fewtimes Charlie Haj got between Buttboy and Tortelvis with a scolding

look, warning him to back off. Just more of the theater that is Dread

Zeppelin.The crowd ate it up. Mimicking Tortelvis' physical affectations,

the entire room sneered and shook their hips, alternately waving anarm in front of them or reaching up with a clawed hand, all whilebouncing jubilantly to the tunes.

THEARBITERWEDIfESDAY, APRIL 2,1997 ----'------------- __ -------HOOTENAtiNY 13Helmet gets leaner, meaner digressions such as "Sam Hell" and "Biscuits for Smut"

that made Betty interesting are gone, as Helmet main-r-=------~-- tains a constant head of steam. Lastly,

the pacing of this record is fast, withonly the most minimal of breaksin __between songs. Some cuts don't evenend before others start up, and sevenof the tracks clock in at under threeminutes.

This feverish pace pays off asHelmet has finally managed to puttogether an album free of throwaways,every song a rush of power and noise,instead of some of the tuneless bash-

ing that cursed some of their older material. From thecrunching, meditative "Pure" to the blazing fury of"Crisis King," not a single song is weak enough to skipover unless you're in a rush to hear the next track.

Hamilton's presence on rhythm guitar is awesome.

by Josh Casten

The listener feels constantly flooded by a gloriouslygrainy and precise wall of guitar that soundsso-o-ogood. The guitar comes out from both speakers in amighty rush, with an immediacy that is downright stun-

_ nlng.Hamilton'ssolos are jothe point, and he get!i.outof the way quickly for the song to resume.

While Helmet will never be mistaken for RageAgainst the Machine, they can really bite into groove,especially in "Exactly What You Wanted" "Like I Care"and "(High) Visibility." Or "Exactly," a wicked riff-fest,

. replete with chugging mutes, slides and a fuzzed-outbass guitar mini-solo.

The only weak link here is Helmet's Achilles heel-Paige Hamilton's voice and lyrics, which are average atbest. But thegroove-heavy material, alternating withblazing, punk-paced numbers such as "Birth Defect,""Harmless" and "Crisis King," all add up to Helmet'sbest effort by far.

Kowalczyk is still in the elite of alternative singers, witha voice that can soar and roar equally well.

Aside from the added touches that signify the CD asa little more of Live and a lillie less of everyone else, itcould very well be tilled Throwing More Copper, ... 'Highlights include the rcligion-overtoned "Insomnia andthe Hole in the Universe" and "Freaks." The track thattruly stands out from the others is "Merica," with itsragged lead melody line and trippy, warbling keyboards.

Fans of Throwing Copper will be pleased with thislatest effort. Live can still summon majesty and harnessit in a chorus, as in "Gas Hed Goes West,""Rattlesnake" and "Graze." A little deviation would berefreshing though.

by Amy ButlerOn defense

"Depth and experience provide us with several ques-tion marks about the defense. The line and inside line-backer positions have the greatest need," said Nutt. "Theoutside linebacker and secondary positions have playersreturning with excellent intercollegiate experience. Akey for us as coaches will be to develop solid reserves atall positions."

Line-Tackles Jon Rydman and Jay Gibson arc theonly returning starters with experience, with ChadMoore as the only other tackle listed. Everyone else hashad little time on the line. The end position will be afight between Dave Stachelski, Brian Steger, Rich Rone,Jacob Howes and Craig Goodworth.

Inside Linebackers-Null looks to Bryan Johnsonand red-shirt Shawn Sandoval at backer postition andCheyenne Pietri, Faraja Greathouse and ChadHeimgartner to bailie it out for the mike slot.Newcomers will help in this area.

Outside Linebackers-Ryan Brinkley was the 1996strong safety starter, ending with 57 tackles. He is cur-rently at the whip position. Kevin Chiles, a key reservesafety, has moved into the rover spot this spring. Bothare outstanding all-around athletes who will help out theBronco defense next season.

Secondary-Cornerbacks Ross Farris and JasonPayne will provide key to the defensive squad alongwith Marcel Yates, who is expected to return at full-speed after a knee injury. Jeff Davis (free safety) willalso join the Bronco's secondary line.

Specialists-No change here. Two words can sum upthe Bronco's specialists team: Belcastro and Davis,Todd Belcastro, who made six of 12 field goals in 1996

The turf still looks blue and so does the sky. Spring isobviously in the air as the Boise State football teamworks out on the field, preparing for the spring game onApril 25.

With 35 lellerman and 18 red-shirt returning, ninefreshmen and 15 junior college transfers coming in, thespring game will provide a good preview for the upcom-ing1997 season.

"I like this team more each day," said Head CoachHouston Null. "We have asked a lot from these youngmen during the off-season, and they have given a lotback. They have shown a lot of improvement from thefirst month to the second. They have worked hard to getbeller during the winter months, and I have no reason todoubt that same alii tude will continue through springpractice, the summer and into next season."

Here's is Null's line-up for the game and his outlookon the team:

On offense"I feel good about the offense because of the return-

ing people in the line," said NUll. "The tight end positionis solid, and I feel the running back positions arc also.We have four good quarterbacks, which will provide avery competitive environment. Wide receiver is an areawhich we may not know more about until pre-seasondrills in August."

Quarterback-Sophomore Bryan Harsin is the onlyreturner who has taken a snap from center at the four-year level of competition. Red-shirts Bart Hendricks and RafeHewitt, along with junior collegetransfer Nate Sparks, will competewith Harsin for the QB position.

Running Back-SeniorReggie Etheridge returns to theBronco squad after leading theteam in rushing last year with 811yards and five touchdowns.Ethridge has competitition at thehalfback position with lettermanNicko Tatum and DavyMalay thong returning. At full-back, Jessie Chan and Eron Hurleyhave made their way to the headof the list.

Gymnasts make history with, Big Westchampionshi~title

C 1997 5MB

hy Amy Butler

Throughout the season the Boise Stategymnastics team has been selling recordsleft and right. Their most recent: winningthe school's first Big West Championship.

"It was great to see the girls win the BigWest. That's been a goal of ours for a longtime," said Head Coach Sam Sandmire."Not only did we win, but we beat UtahState for the second time in history."

Obtaining a total of 194.3 team points,BSU defeated their rival, defending champi-on Utah State (194.075), followed by CalState-Fullerton (193.575) and UC-SantaBarbara 091.025) during their final meetbefore the NCAA Championships. Thismark places the Bronco team with the third-

"'u,', •.,.. ,''''best score in school history.

~f?1~8ll "We never focus on the other team. Wetry to focus on ourselves, but we saw them(Utah) practice the day before and we knew

we could beat them,"said Sandmire. "It wasa complete teameffort. Everyone con-tributed."

BSU'sAmyHannasch led theBroncos off on thebeam by landing a9.675. The rest of theBroncos followed herdetermination. DianaLoosli, who took sec-ond in the all-around,earned a 9.925 on this

event to garner the first-place title.

The last three rotations were the floor,followed by the vault and then the finalevent: the bars.

Loosli came through once again for theBroncos on both the floor and the vault,gaining a second-place finish with a 9.85,and third place in the latter (9.8). JuniorJohnna Evans hit a 9.9 on the vault to grabthe gold in this event. In the bars, BSU'sKelly Martin and Jolene Dahl tied for thirdwith a 9.8 each.

After the contest the league coaches •voted Sandmire the 1997 Big West Coach ofthe Year. She looks forward to the upcoming .meet and hopes to reach the nationals.

"We knew before that our spot was solidin the regionals. Now we're back to focusingon our performance to get the good score,"she said. "We don't care where we finish,we want to go to nationals. Our goal is tohave a perfect meet, similar to Arizona State(on March 8) where we were solid anddidn't fall. It was a magical night. It's goingto take a performance and a score like thai toqualify as a team to nationals, but we areconfident with our ability to do that."

The BSU gymnastic team could reach yetanother milestone if they travel to nationals.The Broncos are fifth-seeded in the NCAAWest Region Gymnastics Championship tobe held in the Pavilion at 6 p.rn. on April 5.

The cost is $5 for students, but for a sportthat is judged subjectively Sandmire knowsthe crowd can make the difference.

"We need a really rowdy, loud studentbody to be there and help out," she said.
