his month the Montana rd of Regents will consider ifying or altogether elimi­g rhe credit cap at rhe ;\lon­uniYersny system. he credit cap limits rhe

ber of state subsidized cred

without recei' ing a elor's degree. Currently, all

ntana uni,·ersities have a it cap of 170. After in-stare ents exceed 170 credits out getting a degree, the} to pa} our-of-state tuition.

The purpose of the credit cap discourage "career students." srate of Montana subsidizes the on of in-state students ro help

>\1de its residents with access ro 11 quality, inexpensive posr-sec­ary education. \X'hen the credit was instituted, proponents ar­d that students who did not fin-

eir degree in 170 credits or less e abusing the system. Bozeman Regent Richard ~hm say that his, "o\'erall in-

is to eliminate obstacles to Jll education for those stu­Hs who do not intend to se rhe system." On No~·ember 15 and 16, Board of Regents, rhe gO\'· ing body of the Montana versity system, will be meer -to debate the issue. Regent John Mercer said,

he credit cap is viewed by stu-1ts as arbitrary, unfair, and a anc1al dtsincenti\•e to reason-e academic goals. It is viewed uni\·ersity administrators as

ficult and costly to implement :l enforce."

Because our-of-state tuition more rhan rwice as much as state tunion, some in -state

Local athlete to carry Olympic torch Casey Ming

Kari Swenson, a Bozeman veterinarian and world-class ath­lete who overcame major set­backs, has been chosen ro rake part in the 13 ,500 mile Olympic torch relay as it passes through Bozeman on] an. 27.

\'<'ith the 2002 Winter Olym­pics rapidly approaching, the Olympic torch will soon begin its traditional relay. The torch will be ignited in Athens, Greece where it has been burning since the first Olympic games. The torch will then be air-flighted to Atlanta, Ga., where it last burned for the 1996 Olympic games.

The torch will then embark on a 1.3 ,500-mile journey through 125 cities and 46 states on its way to its final destination in alt Lake Ciry.

Another notable athlete se­lected ro carry the torch is cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Swenson's history as a world-class biathlon and cross­coun try skiing competitor started in 1976 when she com­peted as a freshman at Bozeman IIigh School on the Jr. Nordic

teams and was selected to compete in the first World Championship for women's biathlon in 1984 at Chamonix, France. Swenson's re­lay team finished with a bronze

medal and she came away \\'ith a very respectable fifth place in<li­vid ual effort, preceded b) four Russian women.

wenson also contended in the World Championships in 1985 and 1986 in s,vi.rzerland and Sweden, respecti\·ely. It wasn 'r until 1992 that the Olympic committc recognized this sport for women.

Swenson's athletic hisrory has been overshadowed by a trau­matic event in Big Sky in 1984. While on a training run, she was kidnapped by ··mountain men,'" a man and his son, who alledge<ll) wanted her to live with them in the mountains.

During her abduction, the "mountain men" shot Swenson, leaving her with an injury that could have ended her career. Despite this, her superior physi­cal conditioning led to a miracu-

Andy Parker AS:-.I U Pre idem

That's clearly what hap­pened when Interior Secretary Gale Norton proposed to delay grizzly reintroduction along the Montana-Idaho border. In a 60-day period, 28,000 written com­ments were delivered to the U.S. Fish and \'<1ildlife Service. Ninety­eight percent opposed any delay in bringing back the bears.

That obviously doesn't re­flect general public opinion. Grizzly reintroduction is a con­troversial issue opposed b) more than just rwo percent of the public. \X'hat happened is rhat ern·ironmental groups or­chestrated the comments re­cei\'ed by the go\ ernment. Eight:- -eight percent of all com­ments were form letters, man) from environmental groups op­posed ro the delay.

-f!NKING ABOUT LAW SCHOOL?

A orton spokesman said the written comments will not be the determining facror in Norton ·s decision about the bears. They shouldn 't be.

Mark Pfeifle, a Norton spokesman, said the reintro­duction proposal was not in­tended to be a "public opin­ion contest."

Maybe not. The thing to keep in mind is that hearings and pubic comment opportuni­ties are not elections. There are no rules or procedures ro ensure that interest groups cannot load the results.

Many people who are not interested sufficiently in an is­sue to compose their own com­ments will send a postcard "let · ter" or something similar that needs only ro be signed and mailed.

Members of Congress often get thousands of letters com­menting on controversial legis­lation. They quick!) learn ro tell orchestrated efforts from the

spontaneous. During every elec­tion campaign, newspapers are increasingly swamped by or­chestrated e-mail and le[ter campaigns.

Environmentalists and other interes[ groups who use these tactics aren'[ doing anything il­legal. Whether they're being fair and ethical is a matter of opin­ion. One effect of such cam­paigns, though, will be ro breed public skepticism of the whole public comment process.

It's quite possible that a ma­jority of people in the affected area do support reintroduction of bears and oppose the delay. It's quite possible [hat [he com­mem period would have pro­duced a healthy pro-bear major­i[y even without the form letters. By orchestrating a cam­paign [hat produced such a pre­posterous result, though. the environmentalists painted themsekes as an mterest group that doesn't trust its O\\'n cLlims of public support.

1SU Athletics receives donation for track and field upgrade 1 lsu Athletics

\ fund-raising effort to give Monrana State Uni,·ersiry · and field complex its first •r facelift in 25 years received t)or boost recently from a ·term benefactor, said MSU · ~oach Dale Kennedy.

, \\ark and Anne Tin1mons of I tune t\, iacion in li ssoula

have donated more than $95,000 to become the project's lead gift.

In order to begin renovation of the track surface and the field-event runways, a total of $300.000 muse be raised from private sources.

The Timmons' gift puts the fund-raising effort one-third of the way toward rhe goal. The uni­versity will supplement the pri­vate monies raised with $200,000,

which have been generated from the facilities fund initiated during the 1998 Fieldhouse and stadium overhaul, said MSU athletic di­rector Glenn Lewis.

Private I und-raising efforts are being conducted by the M U track coaches and members of rhe newly-formed Bobcat Track and Field Association. The associa­tion 's I I-member board consists of former MSU athletes, parents

of current athletes, former MSU faculty, as well as track and field advocates in the community.

"Montana State's track and field program has an excellent tradition, and this school is com­mitted to supporting that pro­gram," Lewis said." The renova­tion of the track will use privately generated funds, as well as previ­ously earned money. Our track coaches and adm inistrators are

continuing to work hard to\\'ard rhe goal of raising $300,000."

T he Bobcat Track and Field Association reports gifts of over $117 ,000 ro date. Other meaning­ful contributions continue to de­velop as the weeks progress rhrough the BTFA fund-raising campaign, which was launched in September, Kennedy said.
