Where are the Greeks? SU considers swapping Greekway to develop new university facilities

.s snows fall and pro­to melt a\\'ay on all of

~man 's open spaces, the of a fe\\' acres close to pu s is being heatedly 1te<l . MSU's proposal to ) lanJ on Greek Way lots rhar are owned by vate developer has suf­d criticism from its hbors and sparked a ·ee of opposition. .1SL desires to consoli-

date its land west of Greek Way Road by exchanging three lots along South Third for SAAM Real Estate's two lots adjoining campus. MSU is interested in constructing new university facilities on rhese lots. SAAM proposes to build 11 four-plex apart­ment buildings if rhe pro ­po al goes through.

Residents along Sourh Third and Grand, fueled by the threat of 176 new inhabitants in the neigh ­borhood, found the issue

a bit more complex. MSU failed to include

'single family unit' restric­tions , (which include frater­nity and sorority houses) on cerrain lots that it sold over the years to Greek organiza­tions. Today some of those lots may be developed while others may nor. Leslie Tay­lor, MSU's legal counsel. stared that MSU will simply rescind any of the covenants in place on those lots de­sired by AAM. in order to facilitate the swap.

The Free Application for Pederal Student Aid (FAF A) provides srudenrs with full financial aid pack ­ages rhar include work­srudy. srare grants, the Fed ­eral Perkins Loan and the Federal EOG grant.

Ar a public forum on Jan. 7, 2003. Taylor said. "Mis­takes like this get made ev­ery day. We own a lor of land, and if I look back on all the land transactions that ever happened. to the University, I invariably find errors in the transaction . Ir's just a parr of doing business wirh land."

The Morrill Acr of 1862 allowed for the creation of M U when it donared pub­lic lands for "rhe benefit of agriculture and mechanic arts." As a land-granr univer-

sit), property ownership has always been an issue for the administration.

During the Public Forum, Taylor explained rhar around 1964, MSU and the State of Montana set aside approxi­mately 14 acres of land along Kagy Boulevard, in rhe hopes that Greek organizations would purchase !ors for rhe construction of sorority and fraternity housing.

Gas leak at the 01iads Quads evacuated after water line crumbles, gas line ruptured by workers

KDxponent w~~t[ Wendt

At approximately 5am last Friday a water main sprang a leak at the Atkinson Quad­rangle on the Montana State University campus.

Disgruntled Quad resi­dent awoke to clogged restrooms and a lack of run­ning water Friday morning af­ter contractors shut off the main to avoid further leakage into the basement of Quad D.

further compounding the danger of the crumbling wa­ter main, a worker digging up the water main in order to re­pair it hooked a nearby gas line with a backhoe and rup­tured it, according to Bob Lashaway, MSU facilities Ser­vices director. "The gas line was noted on the plans as abandoned, but it wasn't,"

Lashaway added. The gas leak on Cleveland

treet temporarily resulted in the evacuation of Quads C and D around 1:45pm Friday.

\X'ithout running water, the residence hall was no longer safe to be occupied by students.

Quad residents were relo­cated to empty rooms across campus over the \\'eekend until the lines were mended.

Students were allowed to enter their rooms between the hours of7a.m. and 10 p.m. Sat­urday and unday to access their belongings.

At approximate!: three o'clock Monday afrernoon the water line was repaired and the Quad residents [were able to] reoccupy," said Tammie Brown, Director of Residence Life.

The Quads house interna­tional and honors students and are also the home to The Habit Cafe.

It is a sharp slap in the face to any well­meaning publishing company in the world. What of the poor impover­ished writers? Theydon'twrite to fa­cilitate thespreadof thought-provok­ing ideas and art! They write to put food on their tables. By lending out free literature those greedy librarians take food directly out of the shiver­ing, starving writer's mouths.

Unfortunately the recording in­dustry seems to be winning all the small baales. According ro the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act !DMCA) Verizon is required to re­lease the identity of a subscribed Kazaa user who apparently shared hundreds of recordings. In what is being wide11 \'iewed as a test case, a federal judge ruled in farnr of the music industry. allowing them to crack dO\m on file swapping ..

If I am not mistaken the major­it) of the ~1ontana Stare Uni\'ersil) C<unpus. along with snidencs around

the world, could go down for the same offense. However, instead of "hundreds of recordings", insert the word "thousands" and where they said "recordings", insert ·'all types of digital files including but not linUted to the third installment of Lord of the Rings, every South Park episode and Photoshop 7 .0."

In no way do I condone the use oflmemet Relay Chat (]RC) to seek out illegal materials on the internet. However, when it comes to art and music, it seems the industry needs a major overhaul. omething must change. The technology geeks are banding together in an enormous un­derground movement as we speak.

We the people have been under­estimated. Out from the loins of the still hot legal paperwork has sprung a glorious new being; StrearnRipperX for Macintosh.

This beautiful piece of free open-source software, originally created in 2000, allows users to leave their computers running \\'hile they head our to the daily grind of classes and rerurn to hun­dreds of splendid newly down­loaded mp3s neatly organized by title and a1tist. trean1Ripper X, the latest ,·ersion of the original treamRipper. works in conjunc­

tion \\'ith streaming internet radio

stations to bring you all your favor­ite songs from your favorite station.

A brilliant advancement in mod­ern technology, StreamRipper is bound to be obsolete in a year or two. Ir is destined to be replaced, as all of its predecessors have been with some­thing stronger, faster and better. It's doubtful that with the slow pace of the legal process the music industry will be able to keep up.

We're still free to dance in the privacy of our own homes to the sounds of our computer speakers blaring free music at full blast with­out fear of being slapped with piles of incomprehensible legalese thanks to nearly untraceable programs like StrearnRipper. There are no user names, passwords, or terms of service.

As pre-teen hackers help rede­fine popular culture, stagnant in­dustries are forced to scramble and discover newer, and potentially more fair, methods of handling their business. Perhaps someday our power-hungry, money grub­bing society will loosen their grip on the th roars of the conswner and stop coercing them inro false be­liefs. Someday music will again be without charge, allowing the artis­tic scope to \\~den and allowing art, like most infom1ation, to be free Oowing and fl uid.

If you plan to be enrolled at MSU fulltime for the next two years the total cost to you and your fam­ily will be $1 ) 77. During this same time, state financial aid will actu­ally decrease. Montana schools are already some of the most expen­sive in the region and Montana sru­dent loan default rates are at an all­rime high of 10 percent. Fewer Montana high school graduates are attending college and state funding is actually less than it was in 1992. The list goes on and on, and the data shows that Montana's Univer­sities are essentially being privatized at a great cost to Montana's fanli­lies, srudencs, and our state.

BOREALIS, short for "Bal­loon Outreach, Research , Ex­ploration and Landscaping Imaging System," is a Space Grant-sponsored MSU student' research program designed ro provide science and engineering students with real-world experi­ence in developing and operating a reusable and affordable rest bed for studying Earth and space sci­ence. Doing so requires the cre­ation of hardware and technolo­gies that can opera re above more rhan 90 percent of the Earth's atmosphere ar the very edge of space. With research facu lty oversight, it's rhe students who actually run the program, de­signing, launching, cracking and recovering rhe balloon appara­tus and irs payloads and rhen analyzing rhe pictures and data

Launches began in rhe summer of 2001, wirh pay­loads senr skyward primarily from the Big Timber airport toward Billings according ro rhe prevailing winds. The team has also made launches from Harlowtown, Helena and eastern Colorado.

MSU has been a national leader in such srudenr-run re­search programs, and rhe BOREALIS effort has been a model for similar student ef­forts in ocher scares.

The "Friday Night As­tronomy" series is free to the public. The nexr talk in the series, scheduled for Friday, Feb. 28, will feature Penn State astrophysicist Tom Abel who uses colorful supercomputer simulations ro model the early universe. The final talk is scheduled for March 28.

Toby Keith brings country to Bozeman

Julie Hewson xponent Writer

Wednesday night, January 29, rhe Brick Breeden field house was filled wirh boors, Wranglers, and cowboy hats, as red necks and country music fans gathered for a night of big name country. This concert, and crowd, was quite a contrast to the lase concert held ar rhe Field House. Being Bozeman, Montana, names hike Toby Keith and Rascal Flam, may be a bit more logical than Snoop Dogg.

Toby Keith was rhe evening's headlining acr. Country music trio, Rascal Flatts, joining Toby on his Unleashed tour, was the spe­cial guest. Opening rhe night was vocalise Amy Dallie.

Amy Dallie scarred rhe show ar 7:30. She performed a few songs and set the stage for Rascal Flans. Wirh four rop ren singles, Rascal Flares performed rheir hits , "Prayin for Daylight" and 'Tm Movin On" had people on rheir feet. Rascal Flarrs,.?.iso. joined Toby lacer in the show, giving him moral and musical support on one of his songs.

Finally rime came for Pollsrar's 2002 number one ticket seller, himself, ro lighr up rhe stage. "Montana's iull of whiskey, women ... beer ... and gold," sang Keith in a slightly modi­fied version of "Should Have Been a Cowboy." The song was one of Tob1 's many hies per­formed that night. Keirh also performed "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This, .. "Country Comes To Town," "I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight," "How Do You Like i\le Now?!," •·] Wanna Talk

About Me" and "My Lise." Abour a quarter of rhe way

through his show Toby shared a special treat wirh his audience. He explained that he and his band write mosr of their songs while rheir on rhe road. Many of rhe songs get recorded on his albums, bur the other songs thar get written, "Well , they don't make ir on the album. These songs are called bus songs." He rhen shared a couple wirh his fans. The firsr song was entitled, "The Taliban". The song de­scribes how the life of a simple Afghanistan sheep herder is get­ting ruined by rhe infamous ter­rorist group. Toby recorded a song called "Beer For My Horses", wirh country music legend Willie elson. Toby says chat this event inspired the nexr "bus song" performed at rhe Wednesday night concert, "Not Gonna Smoke Weed wirh Willie o More."

One of the night's highlights was Toby's performance of the song he wrote after 9/ 11. "Ir was really near ro see rhe pa­triotism and uniry of the au­dience when he played ir. The country has be~n rhrough a lot and ir's songs like this that help us remember and be graceful for our freedoms." stated M U freshman Anna Bird. The song "Courtesy of rhe Red, Whire. and Blue" was performed wirh Toby on his American flag guitar, and a patriotic video playing on rhe big screens. The song finale in ­cluded fireworks, flames, con­fetti, large amounts of red white and blue, and American pride.

The next show on the Un­leashed tour is in Billings, Montana. The bands rhen mo\'e on to Casper, \X'yoming. and Salt Lake City. Utah. Tob) will continue gracing rhe country with his patriotic, country show.

Take one scene , fo r ex­ample. when Moore and two Ii\ ing victims shot in the Col­umbine tragedy march to Kmart headquarters (they cu[ our rhe parts where Moore had to rop co gather his breath) and demand the store to stop elling ammunition.
