Passing the Buck o Finance Board passes budget

Marcus Hibdon Exponent news editor

After hours of number crunching, the Finance Board can finally take a well deserved rest.

Every spring semester, the Finance Board reviews the budgets of ASMSU committees for Senate approval. . . .

According to Montana State adm1mstrauon representative Tom Gibson, the over all pro~ess was painless, despite the large amount of ume needed to balance the budget.

"I thought it was very smooth and I thought the business manager [Julie Walz] did an excel­lent job of preparation in preparing the budget documents consistently and having a totally elec­tronic budget driver to do the required calcula­tions for all the benefits and administrated sur­charge and all those son of things.so that ~hen w_e made a decision, we knew the impact 1mmed1-ately," Gibson said. .

According to ASMSU Senator and Finance Board member Jeremy Fritz, the Finance Board had no small task with next year's budget. The Board had to budget $670,000 through 26 com­mittees.

"Basically we had to cut $90,000 of what the committees were asking for," Fritz said. "Finance Board was consistent with each budget and it went really smooth. It was a good Finance Board with a lot of talent."

Blasts wont hurt peace plan

WASHINGTON (AP)-President Clinton condemned Sunday's two deadly bomb attacks in Israel as brutalities that "offend the conscience of the world" but would not sidecrack efforts for peace in the Middle East.

Secretary of State Warren Christopher said he received assurances from both Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and Palestin­ian leader l asser Arafat that the bombings "will nor do anythmg to mterfere with their commirment to stay on the path to peace."

Christopher said he spoke with Peres and Arafat by telephone, and the president also spoke with Peres.

Twenry-five people, including two Americans, were killed when bombs ripped through a bus in downtown Jerusalem and a soldiers' post in the coastalcityof Ashkelon. More than 80 people were injured.

Clinton called the bombers "enemies of peace." "Their dark vision is of the past, nor the present; Of violence, nor hope for a better future," Clinton said.

The Muslim militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attacks, which were the worst against Israel since the first peace agreement with the Palestine Liberation Organization was signed in September 1993.

The United Scares, Clinton said, "stands alongside Israel and with all the peacemakers" in continuing to seek a settlement that would allow Arabs and Israelis to Live together ami­cably.

"These brutal acts of terror ... offend the conscience of the world," Clinton said. "They must not only be condemned. They must be brought ro an end."

Christopher expressed "oucrage and hor­ror" at the bombings.

did encounter conflict with one committee.

"I think there was a concern by the Finance Board relative to the adminiscrative recommenda­tion that turned Lively Arcs and Lectures into four dif­{erent programs for consid­eration, but I think we sailed through that pretty smoothly," Gibson said.

However, according to Toby Morris, ASMSU presi­dent, there was no conflict between members of the Finance Board.

"It's Finance Board, it's not meant to make policy, so as far as conflicts it would be over agreement of numbers rather the agreement of policy," Morris said. .

Morris also said the Finance Board performed significantly better than in past years.

"We had a really good Fi­nance Board this year," Morris said. "The members were more in depth then previous ones. They took the time to figure out things and to make sure the money was appropriately spent."

Morris said $89,114 had to be cut from ASMSU commit­tees in order to balance the bud­get. He said the Board focused on where to make rhe money

Brad Dubeau, ASMSU vice president, said ASMSU is almost through with the budgeting process for next year. However, the budget must still be approved by the Senate first. -Tom Gibson, Montana State

administration representative "At this poi nt, on

All in all, Gibson said the Finance Board worked incred­ibly well throughout the entire budgeting process.

"There was a very strong work together attitude that was presented," Gibson said, " de­spite the differing views the members had occasionally."

Ir is true, all cultures, rch­g10ns-all our differences as humans should be recognized . Each has "had it hard one rime or another" but that 1s nor the reason a culture or group 1s "given a month" in their honor. It is not a compcunon, it is a cclcbranon of just one of the many cultures we are lucky to have and one I feel we don't take enough time to acknowl­edge and understand. Brining one group or culture to the spot­light does not mean it excludes every other. It presents an op­portunity for everyone to stop and appreciate our variety in all areas.

It would be nice to have a month honoring each but it is especially important ro have a Black History Month because they arc for one, a large minor­ity in comparison to others, and their contributions made to the United States are wide and far reaching. These contributions

Doing the bar scene . 0 There are safer and smarter ways

• • to play the game

The weekends bring on many things that we all look forward to. The bar scene 1s what I am going to concern myself with m this article.

Sometimes I wonder why we antici­pate the weekend at all. I love dancing and seeing friends etc., just like everybody else. What gets to me the most is something that a friend brought up in conversanon this week. He mentioned the perception that there seems to be a lot of attitudes and "stuffiness" surrounding the bars . I tend to agree.

We all seem to need the first few drinks to loosen up, After this we finally muster up the nerve to be "who we really are." This is where trouble begins .

Why do we feel the need to do

this? Aren't we college students \\ho possess some sense of self-confidence? I drank 1n high school to become more outgoing, but now I find 1t silly and immature to need a drink to be myself.

Then there is the occasion when we have had a bit too much and the "beer goggles" go on and everything else comes off. Do we feel good about this when we don't know what we did the night before? (or who we did it with?)

There has been many nmes tha t I have compared the bar scene to a " meat market". I have been to bars here, Billings, Nashville, Denver, Lethbridge e tc. This bnngs me to the conclusion tha t the "meat

market" is open everywhere. The term " meat market" comes from the way that people "scope" out the crowd and find their goal for the night.

Just think back to the weekend that you just experienced. How many times have you felt degraded after the weekend? Wondering why you consumed so much and if you've caught anything from that guy or gal you just met from out of town. We don't need to do this on the weekends. Just plan out what you

expect from the weekend and then stick to your guns. That way if you do get " trashed" and act promiscu­ously, you at least planned it.

For those who are looking for alternatives to

this "rat race," we have the Wellness Coalmon who offers a safe option. The "Zero Hero" program helps designated drl\"ers s tay sober for the evening by providing pop instead of a lcohol. Bars that s upport this program are as follows:

.The Banana Bay, Black Angus, Cats Paw, Crystal Bar, Little Johns, KO Club, Rockin R Bar, Zebra Bar, Stacey's and Montana Fats. Please consider these "safer" options when and if you do choose to partake of the bar scene.

any Faces of Mexico , 'the members of this

year's Grear Expeditions class will share thoughts and experiences from their two week exploratory trip to the Chihuahua region of northern Mexico and its border with the United States. Through slides, posters, music and story­telling, the students will share this region's cultures, myths and land­scapes.

According to Jeff King, pro­fessor of the Grear Expeditions class, the 8 students enrolled m the class planned the trip, re­searched the area and developed a research project to work on while in the area. Sixteen weeks of preparation went into the trip.

The trip rook place over win­ter break and was funded by the students. A heavy emphasis was placed on community involvement while on the trip to enhance their experience. Students worked with schools and in smaller communi­ties.

"We had experiences we couldn't have had if we just went down as tourists," King said.

"We experienced a different sense of life and rime," added Ananda Morse a student partici­pant.

The presentations will be var­ied, as students topics will be di­verse. Jeff Abelin, another stu-

dent participant, studied Mexico's economy as it relates to housing and the factory worker. Morse studied population growth. An­other student focused on pottery.

The presentations will reflect what was learned about all aspects of the Chihuahua region as well as p_ersonal impressions of the expe­rience.

"We were all effected by what we saw," King said. "The pro­gram will incorporate a nice com­bination of personal, intellectual and objective ideas melded to­gether."

Two presentations are planned. The first, geared toward

adults, will be 7 to 9 p.m. tomghr at the Emerson Cultural Center. Admission is free and refreshments will be provided at 6:30 p.m.

The second presentation will be geared toward children. Ir will be held at 7:15 p.m. on Wednes­day at the Longfellow Elementary School.

Abelin encourages both com­munity members and students to attend the program.

"We're spreading knowledge and facts about issues," Abelin said.

Morse added," Anyone who is open-minded an interested in other cultures should attend."

Worlb Wttk offers diversity and fun How many countries can fit into one

campus? The answer is easy if World Week is in progress at Montana State.

World Week, in its 15th year, gives American students the opportunity to dis­cover other countries without leaving cam­pus. International students also get involved in festivities .

According to Julia Bruner, a World Week volunteer, activities are planned which rep­resent a wide array of countries.

"(World Week) helps students, faculty and staff at MSU to think about other parts of the world," Bruner said.

"It focuses attention on global issues and international students," added Stephanie Becker, another World Week volunteer.

Bruner believes diversity through pro­grams is especially important because Mon­tana is not very culturally diverse.

One of the highlights of World Week, Namu Lwanga, is a Uganda born storyteller, actress, musician and dancer who has per­formed internationally in places like China, England, India, Zimbabwe and Canada.

According to Vranna Hinck, World Week volunteer, Lwanga's performance com­bines entertainment with education. Lwanga's performance includes African rock and roll music, songs about courtship in

. Uganda and humorous poems abour falling in love. According to Vranna Hinck, World Week volunteer, Lwanga's performance com­bines entertainment with education.

"It's interesting culturally and very in­formative," Hinck said. "We tend to think of storytelling for children, but in Africa, it's for everybody. The performance definitely appeals to adults."

Alliance Fran~aise will also be present­ing a multimedia performance during World Week. Visage at Voi.x di France will feature French songs, music, dance and poetry as well as a slide show. The show will highlight local professional and amateur vocalists and pianists including Kathy Kolher.

A dance solo by Wendy Fox and poems by Jacques Prevett will also be included. Their performance will be in MSU Reynolds Recital Hall on Thursday. A $2 donation is requested of all non-alliance members.

Thursday also highlights an acupunc­ture demonstration by Dr. Forte of Rock)' Mountain Health Center. Acupuncture,

which developed in China, is a system of healing which manipulates energy, chi, in the body. By manipulating the body's chi, Forte belie\•es the body can be healed. Forte said his presentation fits into World Week by exploring alternatives to vVestern medicine.

"It's a good way for students to be exposed to different ways of looking at sick­ness and disease," Forte said.

Language tables will be set up each day through the lunch hour to offer srudenrs the opportunity to dine with each other and speak in a foreign language.

"Ir gives American students a chance to practice their language skills," said Paris Hodgson, World Week coordinator. "And it's great for students to get acquainted with international students on campus, exchange ideas and visit with students from other countries."

International films will be offered throughout the week in Linfield Hall.

According to Erin Reller, ASMSU films associate, the movies, which represent Aus­tralia, Germany, Ireland and Italy, will ap­peal to a diverse audience. M:n-iel j W cdding offers comic relief, while The Promise offers a dramatic experience.

"We looked for what movies will present a different feel , what students and faculty would like," Reller said. "Everybody will be entertained."

The Australian and Irish films are in English. Dialogue in the German film will be dubbed over while TIJt: Postmn11, which is Italian, will have subtitles.

A late edition to the festivities is the video presentation, De11otio11- A Story from Chechnya. The presenter is Thomas Goltz, Livingston resident, who \\'as sent to Chechnya in 1995 on special assignment by ABC Nightline to makeadocumenrary about why the Chechens were and are so ""illing ro face off against such tremendous odds. The piece, now in pilot form, is a candidate for the New York Human Rights Film Festival.

Stephanie Becker, program volwlteer, said the documentary and subsequent dis­cussion will round out the World Week experience.

"World Week is a cc:lebration," Becker said, "but it is also meant co be something to give serious thought to problems in the world including political situations."

f oob Bazaar feeds MSU curiosity Your passport to the world has arrived. The International Street Food Bazaar

(ISFB) is an intercultural event held at Mon­tana State each year. Members of the com­munity and campus have the chance to sample exotic culinary delights in a market-like at­mosphere and enjoy entertainment from around the globe.

The ISFB was inspired by the night markets in Taipei which Stephanie Becker, foreign student advisor at MSU, visited dur­ing a trip to Taiwan in 1982. ISFB, now in its 15th year, has grown to become the largest intercultural event held in Bozeman. Last year, over 2,000 people attended the festivities.

Over 45 cultures wiU be represented at this year's bazaar.

The booths, run by international stu­dents, are authenticaUy decorated and offer a variety of traditional food which the stu­dents plan and prepare.

A sampling of food to be offered will include grilled chicken from Malaysia, shortbread from Scotland, and a tropical punch from Guatemala.

"There will be something for everyone's taste," said Paris Hodgson, ISFB coordina­tor.

Becker said the event can be somewhat chaotic, as bazaars generaUy are. However, ISFB coordinators have made efforts to make patrons as comfortable as possible without diminishing the festival-like atmosphere. Efforts include adequate seating in the Union Market for those who wish to relax and watch entertainment.

The entertainment, also provided by in-

ternational students, wiU consist primarily of traditional dances, including Russian folk dance, and singing. Students from Spain will present a slide presentation of bicycling through the countryside.

To fuUy enjoy the festivities, Becker encourages people to talk with several of the international students and to stay for as long as possible.

"People can learn about the world and learn abour places they've never thought of before," Becker said.

"It's a way to travel without reaUy trav­eling," added Debra DeBode, who works for the Office of International Education.

To ensure health standards, the food is prepared in the campus student union kitch­ens with supervision from the professional Food Services staff.

Entrees and snacks will usuaUy run be­tween $.50 and $2.00.

"Ir's fairly inexpensive," Hodgson said. The food bazaar will be held from 4 p.m.

to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 2 in the Student Union Building ballrooms. Admission at the door is $2.00 for adults, $1 with a valid student ID. Children 12 and under are admitted free.

Hodgson said the cost of attendance for the event is kept low to encourage the com­munity as weU as students co attend.

"It's a lot offun, especially for children," Hodgson explained.

According to DeBode, the bazaar offers something for everyone.

"It's a great opportunity to see a mixture of cultures in an area which doesn't have much diversity."

[ii[Blue in the Face is celebration of all things Brookly JosefVcbanac BFF film reviewer

With filming finished a week early and under budget (both rari­ties these), director Wayne Wang and novelist Paul Auster could not simply let cast and crew call it a wrap, thus bidding farewell to Smoke's Brooklyn Cigar Co.

Rather, they decided to call in a disparate few favors, extend

their shooting schedule and im­provise a companion piece.

Familiar faces abound, includ­ing H arvey Keitel (reprising his role as the garrulous, but com­passionate, shopkeeper Auggie) and Mel Gorham as his brash Latino girlfriend.

New to the film 1s an impres­sive cast of extras and walk-ons: Lily Tomlin, Madonna, Lou Recd, Malik Toba, Michael J Fox, Roseanne, Mira Sorvino and c\·cn

According to Garcia, she was par­ticularly fond of the throw.

"[It was] a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." The weight throw marks have been improving all season for MSU athletes. MSU women captured five of the top-ten places.

Craig Palm placed first in the men's weight throw with a throw of 59' 8 1/2".

Female standout Christy Otte made her debut in the 800 meter run as she smashed the school record with a time of 2 minutes 11.3 seconds.

Coach Dale Kennedy said Otte ran

tactically smart. Otte finished the first rum in the back of the pack, but finished strong to win the race. The fast time provisionally qualified Otte for the NCAA Champion­ships. Otte has qualified for the Big Sky Championships in every race from the 55 to the 800.

Senior Paula Berry-Gunlikson placed second in the 55 hurdles with a time of8.24, and sixth in the 200.

Faith Harvel won the 3000 with a ame of 10:26.54. She was followed closely by Emily Thompson and Meagan Dockter.

According to Stevenson, part of the success a r regionals follows from the team's success of winning all of its GS races.

Ar regionals in the GS, Ty Free was in first place after the first run . Teammate John Phillips was sitting solid in fourth place. Justin Stevenson faltered in the first run by finishing 21 places back but rock­eted up the chart with a strong second run which put in sixth overall. Free ended up finishing third and Phillips finished 12th.

MSU did not have any high finishers in the slalom but their combined consistency earned them a sixth place finish.

"It's kind of hard to go fast when you have to ski to finish," Stevenson said.

Stevenson said he has confidence for the teams chances in Vermont.

"'We feel we have a lot of potential in GS for nationals," Stevenson said. "'We've got a good chance to do something which hasn't been done at this school for a long rime."

"Ir helped that it was senior mght," Hader said. "That helped us get up for a big game tomght."

Hatler 1oked that it wasn't really a senior night though because SpnnkJe and Nate Holmstadt stole the sho\\ as the two freshman com­bined for 25 points.

The night before MSU played Boise tare. A crowd of 7,207 wit­nessed the game between the Big Sky's top-two reams, as the 'Cats stopped a two-game losing skid by beating the Broncs', 76-65

BSU came into the game with the league's best defense, however, MSU netted 41 second half points as it posted the victof}. The 'Cats bench proved to be the difference in the game as MSU's bench outscored the Broncos bench 29-11.

"I thought Mike Elliot was out­standing, and the two freshman re­ally stepped up too," Durham said.

Montana State drubbed Idaho State last Saturday 78-52 in Bozeman. The win enabled MSU to take over first place in Big Sky Conference standings.

"I thought the bench was very pivotal in the win tonight."

BSU head coach Rod Jensen said he felt his team wasn't ready Friday night.

"They (MSU) are a great offensive team," Jensen said. "You better be ready to play here or they'll get you."

Durham said that he was pleased his team could come out and beat a team of

Boise State's quality. "I thought we were very focused to­

night for all 40 minutes," Durham said. "I thought we played very solid defensively, and really made them work for all their points; we wanted it more tonight."

Montana State will travel to Idaho for a Thursday night contest. If the 'Cats win games against Idaho and Eastern Wash­ington they can clinch a share of the title.

He said he met Gibbs m

1993 while campaigning in Lcwisrown against a sales tax proposal that was on the ballot. Gibbs was a member of Montan­ans for Better Government, a group founded by Natelson to combat increased state spending and higher taxes.

Gibbs said he docs not un­dercsamate the challenge of beat­ing Racicot in the primary, but professed optimism about win­ning despite polls showing

Natclson far behind. Gibbs, who would get an

annual salary of $43,242 as lieu­tenant governor, said he will campaign full time with"' atclson and will carry a clear message to voters that a new GOP adminis­tration will push for tax curs.
