Oren Connell Editor

I can't comprehend the amount of controversy that one piece of art on l\l U's campus has generared.

I hm·e O\'erheard numerous conversations bashing the work as ugly, impractical and a bad use of funding. I respect other opinions of the sculpture, but I am appalled that some people are simply mad that there is art on our campus.

I am actually ver} surprised at how small a role public art plays on l\ISU's campus.

In 109 years of existence l\1SC has no\\' graduated to htw­ing three large sculptures, and some ceramic \\'Orks on the li­brar). That makes four promi­nent \1·orks of art breaking up

the Jovel} spans of grass, men­acing buildings and huge tracts of cement.

This new sculprural addi­tion is a step in the right direc­tion. I am exci ted to see art dis­played prominently in front of our premier technological building and not hidden on the wesr side of 11 rh.

I realize thar l\I U is and has ah\ ays been an agricultur.11 and technically oriented school and the conscn ati\·c nature ot our srudents has nc\·er been more apparent than \\'ith the erection of this \\'Ork.

Ho\\'e\·er, such a mentalit\ is no excuse for not having more art on campus. The fact that GtH) Bates, the creator of the new kmeric sculpwre. has 1:xp.:

For me. this piece sits \'Cf)

It eems to me that the tare Jaw requiring one-half tO 1 per­cent of a building's rornl con­struction cost to be used for art is a less than reasonable amount.

I would l ike to see a larger percentage earmarked for art.

Stronger drinking and driving laws will se a message of responsibility to Montana

ssociated Press Column

Montanans have a viral in­terest in working to reduce drunken dri\ing. After alL -10 percent of trnffic Liralities in the state are alcohol-related.

, o ir is commendable for Gov. f\lartz to announce rh,n she will send a comprehensive pro­posal to rhe Legi lature next \ear to make it easier to prosecure offenders. and - just as impor­rnndy - to make it more likely that rhere ,,.ill be either puni h­meot or treatmem or both.

There is also a provision rhar \\·oul<l ban open contain­ers of alcohol in passenger 'e­hicles.

\YJe know that the go,·er­nor \\'ill face sriff opposition from some strong lobbies on this proposal, and that rhere is a longtime Monrana rradi tion of bringing a six pack or [\\'O along on fishing trips. Bur e\'eryone also knows jusr how irresponsible it is to put other lives at ri k because of selfish p leasures.

o we think the rime is righr for change.

The bottom line is that by lowering the legal intoxication limir from 0.10 percenr to 0.08 percent, it will be ea. ier ro arrest drunk dri\'ers and get them off rhe streets.

The difference of two-hun­dredths of 1 percent may sound

trivial, but in most cases. if po­lice pull a car O\'er it is because the dri\'er has exhibited erratic behavior or bad judgment. That being the case, we need to gi\·e police an adequate enforcement tool to get dangerous drivers off the street .

And for tho e dri\·ers who insist they can handle a few beers without being impaired. they should resr easy thar police won't have any reason to stop them in the first place if they are driving as well as they think.

Of course, it's cloudy judg­ment about one's own abilities that makes alcohol so dangerous. Corrections Director Bill laugh­ter notes that people "who don 'r think they are impaired" often

cause horriiic accidents ju cause of their "no-fear. b proof amtude."

There is also a practi mensioo to the go\'ernor's po al. Each year, ~lontana · ing as much as Sll milli highway consrruction moo cause it doesn't meet federal <lards on an open-conraine and other DUI enforce Thar amounr oflost money dramatically increase if ch· are not made soon.

Let's face it. Dri,·ing beer in the car send the ~ message. Drinking and dri · serious business, and rhe needs to rreat it \\'Ith the concern H would other threatening behaviors.

Martz's tax plan possesses promise but leaves many questio

Gov. J udy Manz chose tax day to un\'eil the general shape of tax reform she will seek from the 2003 Legislature.

Some aspec t s of it look promising, oth ers we're skepti­cal about.

As with any b road-sweep tax proposal, the devil will be in the details. Unfon unately, in recent years when the details have been assigned to the Legislature, the devil has come our pretty well .

Martz's proposal, which she plan s to assign to three yet·to­be-named comm ittees for d e­tailed s t udy, includes several components:

A 10 percent income tax cur and reduction in the state's top marginal capital gains rax rate.

Possibly making up a goo<l­sizc chunk of the Jo t revenue by eliminating the deduction for fed­eral raxes paid, which coupled with the income-rax cut could lower the state's top marginal in­come-tax rate to the neighbor­hood of 7 percent.

Making up more of the rev­enue through a new or expanded tax targeting visitors fro m outside ~lontana. Martz calls it a "tour­ist tax.

Giving local governments the option of adding to such a tour­ist tax.

Martz did n 't specify how the 10 percent income tax re­duction would \\'Ork. but if ap­plied across the board, it would h ave yie lded about $95 for a Montanan w hose taxable in­come was $20.000 last year.

At the other end of the cu le.

a 10 percent cur would have re­duced by ar least $600 the tax bill of people with taxable incomes above $75 .400.

The 10 percent cur would nibble away at the top mar­ginal rare, but i t would rake a b ig bite our of state reYenue. M artz estimates $66 million beginning in 2004 .

Ir would take a lot of addi­tional tourist ta.-xes to balance that out. The 4 percent bed rax is good for about $11 m illion a year, so, by way of example. that rax would have to increase to 24 per­cent to make up the lost income tax revenue. The unlikelihood of that, presumably, is why ?\[artz al o i looking at eliminaring fed­eral dcducribiliry

t

for l\1SU srudenrs. an encoun­\\ i.th arr ha.~ been one of colossal

opomons this week. ll \\·ould be difficult to miss the

-foot. soft bent iron sculpture. It son an 18-foot steel column in front the EPS building. next to the SUB.

Local sculptor Gary Bates' pro­was selected out of 3-t artists by

Montana Arts Council Commit­'., fulfilling the state law that requires -half to one percent of a building's dedicated to public art.

Bates calls this large-scale sculp­"Wmd Arc," reflecting its design

catch \\ i.nd. His fascination with etic arr originated out of entertain­

t, while working on his family's in Amsterdam.

"I didn't like \\mdy days when I farming, so I decided to build

ces thar celebrated those days," Bares. "I builrni.nd catchers out )thing I could find on the farm-

p iron, boilers, augers. Bate;· passion for narure is whar

npletes his am\'Ork. He spent y 5easons \\'orking at Canyon em Yellowstone National Park.

·as m \' dlo\\'stone \\'here Bates d the inspiration for Wrmd Arc. e hiking around the ~orris Gey-asin area. Bares srumbled upon

dge polt.: branch. "It \\as rhe rx:rkcr wind .ire." Batt.:,. .. And fmding ir four th, alter D1) proposal cont limed

:Jen,ion .. E\'cn rhe placement of the piece inspirc:d b, narure.

"l decided ro go to campus one morning and watch the sun rise," Bates said. "I noticed that when the sun hie; the EPS building, the shadow of the sun's cuive is the 84-degree wmd arc."

rodents around campus seemed to enjoy the addition.

"I like it." said Fred an elemen­tary education major. "I guess it's be­cause I think it firs the spot. Some­times, I think artists uy to be different for difference sake. Bur if you look at the surroundings, this seems to

complement it rather than detract from it."

"I appreciate its kinetic struc­ture," said Gary a computer engineer­ing srudent. "I guess I don't like that the top is rust and bottom's steel."

An MSU alumni, Bares majored in art at MSU in the late 60s before rransferring ro the Kansas City Art lnstirute, graduating in 1975. Later, he taught at tanford University in the school of mechanical engineering, and taught sculpture at MSU. Al­though he serves on MSU's chool of An Advisory Council, the major­ity of his time is spent as a professional sculptor.

In spite of the fact that most art·

isrs of this style seek to \\'Ork with abstract s~rnbolism, Bares feels oth­erwise.

.. Ir [\X'ind Arc] does nor sym­bolize anything other than \\ har it is," said Bates. .. 1\ lot of people ti") !O read thmgs inro arr. Ir is \\hat it is. I am amazed by the \\'ay the arc works. The longer 1 \\'arch the mmion and light oi the piece, the more capti\'ared I become as it dra\\'s ns spiral on the sk)."

Graduation is a rransirion, md it is normal to go through a nixed bag ot emotions in the face >f something new. In some ways, •raduat1on is a loss that needs to

e grie\'ed; ) ou arc saying oodbye to \\·hat has been your fo for rhc last four-plus years.

The ties you feel to Bozeman nd MSL, to your friends and to

our role as a student are also oing through this transition. ind feelings of grief or sadness re likely to follow.

In order co aid in chis uansi­on. gi\'e yourself the necessary me to "sa) goodbye" to your life 1ere. Visit your farnrire haunts, ear

your favorite restaurant, have a >!Tewell beverage ar your favorite angout and schedule meetings or arties with friends. Taking pic­ires or ocher mementos of friends 1d places can help give you some­ing to take \\~ch you.

For many. graduation means ming to a new place to start a b or to enter graduate school. 1e last few months here at hool may involve completing >ur job search, polishing up >Ur resume and sharpening •ur intcrvie\\ skills. The Ca­cr Center is the ideal sen ice help you wtth this.

<iome luck) graduates ha\·e their 1ob or graduate school plans laid out. and for tht:m it's on to a new experience. Keep in mind that you are cntermg a new role, either as a llC\\ professional or as a graduate student and be prepared to m.lke the necessary transitions and adjusrmcnts from a " tudent ltfe" to a .. professional life."

i\1:111y nt:\\' graduates move back home until their next step has been mapped out. Again, there may be mixed feelings of comfort and security coupled with regret or trepidation at the thought of returning home.

There is no shame in return­ing home-man) new college graduates do chis until the) know what's next Bur. moving back in with mom and dad after four years of independence and au­ronom) ma) be a challenge.

To navigate thi , initiate a discussion with your parents about your expectations and preferences-you're not return ­ing home in rhe same capacity in which you left, and it's impor­tant that they recognize the changes and growth that you have gone through .

Knowing this is a time-limited event may also help, and setting realistic goals for how long you intend to stay can help you keep sight of this. This will keep you motivated to seek the next step, as well as help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Whatever your post-college experience may be. keep in mind the transitions you' re ex­periencing and give yourself permission to feel rhe mi xed emotions that they may bring. Doing so will likely make your transition easier because you won't be tr} ing to ignore ver~ real feelings and experiences.

Governor Martz announces new tax reform plan Livestock

pecial to the Exponent

Go,·ernor Judy Marez an­nounced tl1onday the ,1dministration ·s tax reform plan. the first part of the oYerall eco­nomic de"clopmenc plan for the State of Montana.

"As the first component of our economic de,·elopment pbn. \\'C

are confident that the tax proposal which will be prescnred to me leg­islature ";JJ put mone~ in the pock ets of i\1ontanans. bring in much needed capital. and create and retain good paying jobs." said Go, -emor tllarrz.

There Jre three primal') com­ponents to the tax plan:

1. Cut income raxes by per-

SATURDAY

cenr and reduce capital gains Laxes for all Montanans

2. Replace lost rax revenue ''~i:h ,1 focused tourist tax

3. Study the possibiliry of a local option tourist tax

"Today. on tilx Jay. I am an­noW1cing a proposal for me largest income t<L"\ cut in more than 30 yeJrs for the people of Monrana." illd Go,·cmor ~brt:z. "\\'e propose to

cut income t<Lxes for al.11\ lontan<tn. b) lOpercent. Beginning m 200-l. this l Opercem r.1x cur will mc.m a reduc­tion o[ S66 million in state income tilxes each yL~ar."

\\'hen me State of 1\1ont,ma is compared to other swtes in the re·

g1on b,1se<l on reidential and com­mercial property t<L"\ mt~ ,md cor­porate income ta"\ rates. we are generally mmperitive. but when com-

pared on our income ta.x rates, Mon­tana is nor. Moncana 's top stated marginal income tax rate. at 11 per­cent. is the highest in the region, lead­ing to the perception mat this is a high income ra_x state. This often keeps businesses and indi,~duals from even considering Montana as a place to lo­cate, or encourages them to lea\'e.

Ad<litionall), according to De­partment of RL"\'enue Director Kurr Alme, l\ lontana has the highest effec­u,·e marginal capital gains rate in the region. even higher man our effective rate on orJ.inaf) income. This keeps some ~x.'Ople <U1d businesses from in­\'esring in ,\ lonrana .md causes oth en; to bl\'e the stare to a\·oid tlus veiy high rate of ta\. on one-rime gains from sales of farms <m<l ranches, and other bu ine es and invesanenrs. "ThtS plan "~ll <td<lress those rares by reducing them ro a competiti\'e hd." said Alme.

Bur th<tt lost re,·enue must be replaced. and thi~ plan outline a propo e<l Lourist tax.

"\\'hile economic growth and

more tax revenue \\~ be me long­term benefits of this reduction, in the shon-tem1, we'"~ need ro find an­other source of revenue. That source is non-resident tourists," said Martz. "B) exporting tax and importing rev­enue, we are shifting our tax burden olI the boulders of 1\fomanans. This shi& will put more money into the pockets of Montanans to spend and im est, <tnd into ,\lonrana businesses to expand and create ne\\' jobs."

The third component of the plan, a local option tourist t<L-x, could be beneficial ro local communines. i\lartz said. "Commilllities must be given the fl.::xi.bility to address Joe.ii economic development needs and propeit: tax reductions." The imple­mentation ot a local option tourist ta"\

"~ensure that tourists pay !:heir fair share of i:he local government ser\'ices the) use.

In the coming week . rhree committees "~ be established to

develop specific recommendation for a comprehensi\'e proposal mat \\'ill be presented to me Legishuure.
