BroncoPrint, a new system thatgives all BSU students a print-ing quota, went live on Aug. 15,after almost two years of re-search and testing by the Office ofInformation Technology (OIT).

This is the first system of itskind at BSU, where printing hasbeen free to students, faculty,staff, and the public.

Students that are registered furone or more credits will be given$15 worth of printing or 300 freepages for the semester. If the quo-ta is exceeded, the student will becharged for further print jobs.

Bulldozers and dump trucksare a common sight on the maincampus, as Boise'State continuesto grow and expand into a metro-politan university of distinction,says Frank Z~ng, university coIl}-munications director.Two of the most noticeable con-

Before you walk to your firstclass, you will likely need to finda parking space for your vehicle.Below are some important chang-es affecting parking on campusthis fall.

While there are about the samenumber of parking spaces oncampus this year as last, some ofthe General Parking' areas havemoved.

A committee of, faculty, stu-dents, and staff was assembledover a year and a half ago to dis-cuss the increasing costs of print-ing on campus, in large pari dueto "excessive printing by a smallpercentage of. students," saidDavid O'Neill, executive directorof OIT and the committee chair-person.

Stephen Henderson, manager ofOIT computer labs, said that ap-proximately 20,000 printed pageswere wasted per week in one lab.

"The goal we've set out to isto contain costs for students,"O'Neill said. "We could've raisedstudent fees to cover the increas-ing costs, but 80 plus percent

approval from the State Board ofEducation, lang said.

The university has spent thepast six years purchasing land asit has become available south ofUniversity Drive, lang said.

"We have bought 70 parcels inthe last six years, making openmarket acquisitions," Zang said.

Boise State has bought parcelsfrom rental companies and fromhomeowners, lang said.

They've even helped homeown-ers with relocating, moving, andfinding a home in those rare oc-casions, lang said.

Some of the houses on "TheBlock" were spared demolitionand have been, put up on risersacross from the new parking lotand on the corner of Protest Hilland Federal Way. ThE)contractoris now going to sell them.

Mike Johnson with WesternStates Construction says thehouses will be relocated on lotson the Bench, Vista, and variousother places across Boise.

"Land is so expense to buy inBoise," Johnson said.

Each house costs about $40,000- $60,000 to move plus wire costs.

Because the houses are so tall,they have to move power wires,telephone wires, and fiber optic

of students wouldn't have seenthe impact of being able to printmore."

According to Henderson, theaverage student prints approxi-mately 200 pages per semester,

, and ,he expects the BroncoPrintquota to meet the needs of 85 per-cent of students.

"The University of Idaho hasa similar program, which as of2004, gave, students a 200 pagequota," Henderson said. "Ourquota gave a 50 percent increaseof University of Idaho's."- BroncoPrint has been installedin all computer labs at all of theBoise State campuses, includingCampus Westand Canyon County.

Students must have their studentID card to useBroncol'rint, When'''Print'' is selected, BroncoPrintwill ask for a student ID numberand for the student to name theprint job. They will be advised ofthe cost ofthejob.

The student ID card can beswiped at the lab's Print ReleaseStation, where only print jobsmatching the student ID numberwill be displayed.

The screen displays the cost ofthe job and the projected remain-ing balance. The student mustconfirm, and the job is printed.The cost is charged, and the cur-rent remaining balance is dis- 'played.

"You can choose where youwant to route the job and releaseit when you get there," O'Neillsaid. "There's more security withthis system."

BroncoPrint was tested inMulti-Purpose-lab 121during thespring semester of 2005, begin-ning on March26.

Although the test was meant toassess the new BroncoPrint soft-ware and did not give each stu-dent a quota, Henderson said thathe saw a 30 to 50 percent reduc-tion in printing.

"I noticed that the wasted pa-per has been cut down," said IesusGonzales, a junior photographymajor. "My only concern is if and

Robert Kustra with the se-mester totaling a record-breaking18,600students.

Kustra said that the new fresh-man class is particularly impres-sive and are the highest academi-cally qualified entering class inthe history of BSU.

Kustra emphasized the impor-tance for Boise State to examinethe faculty responsibilities to thestudents and the role that facultyplays at BSUin mentoring, advis-ing, and counseling students.

"Sometimes I'm not sure we ap-preciate the long-term impact ofthe faculty-student relationship.The quality ofthat experience will'affect other decisions studentswill make as citizens and taxpay-ers for the rest of their lives," saidKustra.

Kustra said that his interest forthis year is to improve the cultureof the campus and to have a senseof community among students.

"1know we are up against a sig-nificant challenge; we are a com-muting culture. Students are com-ing and going on their way to andfrom class, and from work, andfrom families, but we must findways of connecting more effec-tively with students.

Boise State University PresidentBob Kustra delivered his Stateof the. University Address to astaff .and .faculty audience on

. Wednesday in theStudent . UnionBuilding's JordanBallroom.

Kustra is en-tering his thirdyear as presidentof BSU. His ad-ministration hasbeen marked byan emphasis onupgrading admis-sion standards,improving theundergraduateexperience, andincreasing thenumber of gradu-ate and doctoralprograms.

Kustra focused his remarkson the science and engineeringfields; the importance of teachingstudents, and began his speech byaddressing Boise State's research.agenda to its metropolitan re-sponsibilities.

He said that today Boise Statefinds itself among those metro-politan universities empowerednot by a 19th century federal stat- .ute, but by a dynamic, high techeconomy and growing communi-ty, which accounts for the grow-ing enrollment, the faculty's en-gagement in the community, andthe success in winning researchgrants.

"Boise State deserves to berecognized and respected as auniversity in a class of its own,"Kustra said.

In 2004, BSU's College 'ofEngineering ranked 20th on U.S.News and World Report's list ofbest engineering colleges amongpublic universities. A recent$400,000 grant from the NationalScience Foundation to the Collegeof Engineering will allow BSU toprovide engineering scholarshipsto 30 undergraduate students inengineering and science.

Kustra: stated that the 'Collegeof Engineering is using fund-ing from a $1 million .HewlettFoundation grant to help under-prepared engineering studentsmake the transition from highschool to college., "Boise State's growing research

.their careers; their aspirations,and their goals.'"Student success measured

by every major toll or undertak-ing has determined that the stu-dent-faculty relationship is thekey," said Kustra. "When studentsgraduate, the value of their de-gree will be better than it has everbeen in the history of Boise State.What'stands behind that degreeis a quality education, and thateducation is getting better everyyear."

One of the BSU staff's highestpriorities this year is to work withfaculty to strengthen the bond be-tween student and campus, part-nerlng with faculty to revitalizeprogramming and create moremeaningful opportunities for thestudents. .

Kustra announced in his ad-dress that by October therewould be another constructionproject on campus as the uni-versity breaks ground on a newInteractive Learning Center.

With 12 multi-purpose class-rooms and a 200-seat auditorium,as well as dining and food serviceareas, Kustra said the InteractiveLearning Center would symbol-ize the university's commitmentto its students in facilitating state-of-the-art learning with cuttingedge technology. The InteractiveLearning Center will also housea new Center for Teaching andLearning.

The Center for Teaching andLearning will serve as a resourcefor the faculty to review new theo-ries of cognitive development andto experiment with strategies for

,motivating learners'."Learning is a complex under-

taking, and even the best teachermay not succeed at reaching allstudents successfully," Kustrasaid.

To kick off these renewed ef-forts to engage students to takepart in on-campus activities, BSUis sponsoring a faculty-studentbarbeque during the second weekof class on the Quad.

On Monday, Aug. 29, facultyand staff have. been encouragedto reach' out, meet their students,and help solidify the sense of thecommunity.

The barbeque will begin at11:00a.m. and end at 1:00p.m, Allacademic departments and facul-ty are encouraged to come, as wellas all students.

Government study finds U.S. college textbook costs.sky-rocketingBY BECKY B1>.RTIND1>.LB. Knight Ridder Tribune

But student advocates saidTuesday they hope having theGAO validate their claims willgalvanize colleges to push fortextbook practices that help stu-dents save money, such as askingpublishers to sell books separate- .ly from other learning materialsthat often go unused.

"Our experience is the publish-ers do not respond to students;said Merrlah Fairchild, a high-er-education advocate with theCalifornia Student Public InterestResearch Group, which has beenstudying textbook .. costs since2003.

"Professors and college admin-istrators are the ones publisherssay they take their cues from,"

U.S.Rep. David Wu, aDemocrat• from Oregon, sought the GAO

study after learning that studentswere ordering U.S.textbooks fromAmazon.com's United KingdomWeb site because they were muchcheaper abroad.

The report concludes that price

differences from country to coun-try largely come down to localmarket conditions and what stu-dents in a particular market canand are willing to pay.

As students turn to the Internet,the report says, publishers havestrengthened their agreementswith foreign wholesalers and on-line retailers to limit large-scalereimportation of cheaper booksto the United States.

Wu plans to Investigate thelegality of such restraints, hisspokeswoman said.

The Association of AmericanPublishers took issue with thedata used by the GAO,saying thefigures don't reflect the true costof books to students. .

Independent . numbers pro-ducedby college bookstores andAmerican publishers show theaverage full-rime student at afour-year university spends $580a year on textbooks, not the $898the report claims. .

Publishers, have ,taken steps

in recent. years to reduce costs,the group said, including issuinglow-cost texts, electronic books,black-and-white editions, and ab-breviated editions.

In a statement, the publishersgroup defended bundling supple-mentary instructional aids withtextbooks, saying they were de-veloped at the request of profes-sors and responding to students'academic needs.\ As more students attend col-lege, they have a broad range ofskill levels and learning stylesthat benefit from a range of ma-terials, said the group's CEO,Patricia Schroeder.

This is the first time the GAOhas looked at textbook prices.The government has no oversightof the publishing industry, "butthere is an overall public policyinterest in the cost of college, par-ticularly for lower income stu-dents and their families," saidCindy Fagnoni, who manages thesection oJ the GAOthat produced

the report. "Our work shows thattextbooks make up a significantshare of college costs, especiallyat the type of colleges low-Incomestudents attend."

The report found that textbooksaccount on average for only 8 per-cent ofthe cost of tuition and feesfor full-time students at privateuniversities full time, but it is amuch larger share for studentsat public .colleges and universi-ties; 26 percent at four-year pub-lic schools and 72 percent at two-year schools.

Textbook costs have become apopular political issue, but legis-lation probably is not the answer,said Fairchild, from the studentresearch group that led the text-book charge.

Fairchild outlined three chang-es her group would like to see

'frompubllshers: .-Publishing new editions only

when there is. signiflcant newcontent; .

-Selllng textbooks "a la carte,"

not bundled, so students canchoose what they need;

-Charging U.S. students thesame lower prices other countriesreceive.

A Government AccountabilityOffice study of U.S. college text-book pricing confirms students'complaints: Prices have sky-rocked, driven by frequent neweditions and extra materials suchas workbooks and CD-ROMs,andthe same textbooks often cost lessoverseas.

Since 1986, textbook costshave increased by 186 percent,at double the rate of inflation,the U.S. GAO concluded in a re-port released Tuesday. That rise,combined with the 240 percentincrease in the average cost oftuition and fees in the same pe-riod, can create' barriers to col-lege, particularly for low-incomestudents.

The report makes no recom-mendations, presenting just afactual explanation. of escalatingprices and the cost differencesbetween here and abroad.

The crowd sus back end enjoys the music end weather at the 18th Annual Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival.

BY AMBER PUGERCulture Writer

As the summer dwindled downand a different reality began to setin, only one act of spontaneousfun seemed appropriate to putthe carefree vacation to rest. Onelast hoo-rah with friends to kisssummer goodbye for another year'and head into the semester with astockpile of good memories.

Some may have chosen a differ-ent way to ring in the new semes-ter, others may just be readingtextbooks and downloading syl-labi, but for this college studenttradition is crucial. Exery year, aconcert seems to be held right be-fore school starts and this Augustwas no different. The weekend of

August 12 offered the stylings ofold-time music and a twist on theclassic sounds of bluegrass.

The 18th Annual Grand TargheeBluegrass Festival was composedof old-school (traditional blue-grass) and new school (progres-sive bluegrass). On top oflistenlngto amazing renditions of the clas-sics and original material from theeach band, anyone could jump inon a jam session at the TeewlnotLodge or down at any campsite.As Ike Sheldon from the Wildersput it on Saturday, "We just try toget down and rock."

Friday August 12' at four in theafternoon, the Hit and Run Bandkicked off the festivities followedby the 'Drew Emmit Band. Thenight was closed by an, energetic

show put on by the Waybacks.Sheldon's band" The Wilders,

took the stage around 4:30 p.m.on Saturday the 13th• The venuewas set up at the base of the Magic.Carpet run and everyone was ontheir feet dancing and swayingto the sounds of this traditionalbluegrass band. Something aboula mandolin played to serenade, abanjo plucked to rock, a scream-ing fiddle and a melodic dobromade the entire crowd want toclap and stomp their feet in tunewith the band.

Matt Costa plays innovative folk music,BY DANNY MCNEESE

Culture Writer

The highlight of the recent JackJohnson concert at the IdahoCenter wasn't Johnson himselfbut 23-year old Matt Costa.

A native from HuntingtonBeach, California, Costa has beenplaying music most of his life.Starting young with piano les-sons, Costa moved to the trumpetin high school and later pickedup the guitar where he found hisknack.

Now touring for a national au-dience, Costa is the latest "up andcomer." Playing solo or with a backup band, Costa played the south-ern California circuit for severalyears until being picked up byJohnson for the current tour.

Now touring in support of hisnew album "Songs We Sing," theguitarist and vocalist gave creditto his band. "These guys are awe-

some. Sometimes there are thingsI can't do on other instrumentsand obviously I can't play themall at once."

As an opening act, Costa playedquiet yet thorough at the IdahoCenter's amphitheater. A prom-ising display of things to come,Costa was skillfully and amplybacked by his band. No weak sec-tion was present, and with a greatpianist and drummer the set wasenjoyable.

Ever grateful, the performancewent over well with interestedfans. With hints of The Love'nSpoonful and The Pixies, greatmusical influences of times pastcame to life. Still, the overtoneof Costa's 'performance was folkdriven.. The lesser-known man on the

rise said he was pleased with theenthusiasm of the Idaho crowd.Only a few years.ago, the largestcrowd he had performed in front

of were in the numbers of 500 orless. Now a crowd of 9,000 is fre-quent.

A definite highlight of the sum-mer, Costa is taking his new-found fame in stride. "When wewere In San Diego, we played for23,000 and that was an adrena-line rush," Costa said. "It was thelargest crowd I've played in frontof. I didn't even realize how manypeople were there at the time andI just kindashut them out."

Humble and compassionate,'the guitar playing skateboarderhas been playing an encore withJohnson after every show as anightcap.

The Idaho Center was no differ-ent and the crowd was more thangrateful to hear Costa again .

"It's awesome. It feels reallygood to playa Beatie's song with(Johnson). We've been doing thatfor awhile and it's pretty cool."

typecast.The director of "The Hills Have

Byes," "A Nightmare on ElmStreet" and the "Scream" mov-les made his name by making.fans squirm and jump out of theirseats. But along the wayhave beenforays into other genres, such asthe horror comedy "AVampire inBrooklyn" and the drama "Musicof the Heart."

And now he. wants everyoneto know that his newest project,"Red Eye," is a suspense thriller.It's given him a chance to stretchas a filmmaker.

"That's one ofthe reasons why Iwas excited to do the film becauseno on~ could say it's a horrorfilm," the director said via phonefrom Los Angeles. "It's definitelya thriller. Anytime I can move outof that designation, it's good."

Through past successes,Craven built enough credibilityin Hollywood and with audiencesthat he can veer away from what'sexpected and still put rear ends inthe seats.

"I· think that the audiencesknow that (a Wes Craven movie)is going to be something differ-ent than the normal fare," hesaid, "that it's going to make themlaugh, jump and it's n at going tohave compromises in it. At least Ihope it means that."

"Red Eye" offers an intriguingpremise. The manager (RachelMcAdams) ofa posh Miami resorthotel is held hostage at 30,000 feetin a jet plane. Her captor, a mys-terious man (Cillian Murphy of"Batman Begins") wants her toorder a change in the accommo-dations of a government officialwho will be staying at her hotel.

. I( she doesn't, her father will bemurdered.

Casting McAdams ("TheNotebook," "Wedding Crashers") ..and Murphy followsu patternyou can see in Craven's films heseeks au. good actors for his p~oj-ects. He's worked with JohnnyDepp and Meryl Streep, amongothers. Not only are McAdams'and Murphy's stars ascending,but they have gained respect inthe industry.

"That's where it's all at, really, ifyou do something that you wantto be complex and compellingand have all sorts of emotionalrange," he said. "If you have anactor or actress who just can't getthere for some reason, your gooseis cooked. Youcan't do it yourself.It's so important to have peoplewho are really gifted and whotake it seriously,"

Although "Red Eye" isn't a hor-ror film per se, Craven admits thatit, and thrillers in general, servethe same function as that genre _helping the audience relieve somestress.

"I think any film, whatever itsnature is, is dealing with thatnature of the audience," he said."You're dealing with, what wouldI do in that horrible situation? ...and if I were confronted by thisperson who is taking over my life?

"That's what this film does, butit does so in a way that you comeout of the theater feeling quitegood, entertained and not dam-aged.

A lot of people can't watch hor-ror films, so I was certainly inter-ested in doing a film that every-one could watch, have some funwith and be made to think."

He may have chosen the besttime possible to shift gears. Thehorror genre has been in a creativerut lately, with studios relying onremakes of Japanese fright flicks.Pilms such as "The Grudge" andthe "Ring" movies all had theirorigins in I-horror.

~~~~~~~TheDrew'Review~~~~~~-New dvd release: 'Sin City' is not worth a dollar, not even a nickel

BY DRew MAYES1<rblterStaff

"Sin City" is pretty much ex-actly what you would expectfrom a Quentin Tarantino mov-ie •(Tarantino co-directed itwith Frank Miller and RobertRodriguez): tons of blood for noreason, violence so ridiculouslyout of context it's embarrassing,and characters who are supposedto be normal people, but for somereason are immune to the laws ofphysics. .

On the bright side, "Sin City"does not have a skinny blondeAmerican girl who just learnedkarate a few years ago taking outthe 88 best ninjas in the world at· .

the same time ("Kill Bill" I), orunburying herself alive by break-lng out of a coffin under thou-

')aOOs of pounds of dirt, climbingup through the ground in secondsas if her hands and feet were sud-denly shovels ("KillBill"2).

Nope, this adaptation of FrankMiller's comic book instead hasone particularly yellow characterthat survives a bullet to the junk,a horrible car wreck, and finallya bullet to head that he basicallyjust walks off.

Yet when the hero of the movie'throws a few haymakers to thejaw that connect, his head ex-plodes. So to recap, car wreck ...not deadly, bullet to the groin.,.not deadly, bullet right between

the eyes ... not deadly, hero's rightcross... your head explodes.

In addition to the gaps in logic,there are also far too many sto-ries going on simultaneously in"Sin City." I kept waiting for themoment when they wouldall tie together but theynever did.

Asimple, 'and that's just anoth-er night in Sin City' would at leastbeen in effort. Instead we arc toldhorrific stories about several dif-ferent people who seem to go tothe same bar; but apparently forno reason.

The movie tries to do. some-thing unique with a black andwhite setup, along with the occa-sional inje'ctlon ot.bright colors.

Now, you would think that colorin a black and white movie wouldsuggest something Is about tohappen, or have some sort of sig-nificance. Well, it doesn't.

Friday night's scrimmage forthe Boise State Broncos was all forDerek Schouman. The junior tightend, who was Jared Zabransky'sfavorite target before Schouman'sleg injury last season, began hisbrilliance from the first play.

Zabransky found Schouman ona corner route, and the tight endtook it 70 yards for the score.

"It's great having him back. Heis definitely a weapon in' our of-fense, and he's got big play ca-pability like he showed tonight.We arc definitely happy to havehim back," Zabransky said aboutSchouman.

Schouman finished with threecatches - all touchdowns - for174yards.

His second touchdown was a 7-yard pass in goal line formation,but the third may have set thetone for the coming season.

Again Zabransky foundSchouman on a cornet route wideopen. Schouman took it up fieldand was being chased down bysafety Austin Smith. . .

In stride, Schouman turnedaround and stiff. armed Smithstraightto the ground, and thentook off across the field to the endzone.I The Broncos first team offenselooked more in sync than anyoth-er scrimmage in years past.

"One of our goals coming out ofthis camp was not to have apathyon offense," Hawkins said. "Thereneeds to be a sense of urgency anda real desire to go out and recreateourselves."

That depth and knowledge ledto Zabransky completing his firstfour passes, and six of his firstseven.

After last year's NorthwestLeague Championship, no oneexpected the Boise Hawks to bewinding down the season with a.411win percentage.

With only 17games left in 2005,you'd think that the Hawks would-need a miracle to find themselvesagain in position to win the title.

But, fortunately for Boise fans,the entire Eastern Division isplaying sub-par baseball. Theworst team in the NorthwestLeague West division, the EugeneEmeralds, has consistently main-tained the same win percentageas the best team in the East.

And, even with a record near-ing 10 games below .500, Boise isjust three games back of divisionleader Spokane.

It might have been close to 90degrees outside Saturday eve-ning, but on the ice it was a differ-ent story.

The Boise Women's HockeyAssociation held a clinic Saturdaynight for any female interestedin learning more about hockey.President Linda Ransdell hasbeen involved with the clinic thelast two years and said that theclinic offers a great opportunityfor anyone to come and check outthe sport at a low cost.

Kirk said executive commit-tee members expected the kindof public backlash they've re-ceived but added that Friday's an-nouncement shouldn't be viewedby those critics as a move fromthe NCAAto weaken its own posi-tion of two weeks ago.

This is "the Opinion SectionBY DREWMAYE5

Opinion Editor

These pictures, this story, thisdiscussion, this debate ... This,this is what the opinion section isall about this year.

In fact, it's what makes theopinion section so special, and sounique. Because not everybodycares what got stolen from thedorms, how Boise's local musicscene is, or what the Broncos areranked in latest coach's poll. Buteverybody, everybody".., has anopinion on something.

Maybe you have an opinionon these pictures, or maybe youdon't. -

Stick around though, because

I'm 'sure at some point, some-thing on this page will strike anerve with you. On the opinionstaff sit three college degrees,two graduate students, one BoiseState University student senator, aproud and loud feminist, and onequiet atheist.

We have right Wing, left wing,moderate, and Libertarian ideasand viewpoints all foryour enjoy- .ment.

Straight, gay, single, married,and divorced are all part of theopinion team as well.

But even with all this talent andall this diversity, we still need you.I still need you. ~

can make sure everybody's pointof view is represented withoutyou. What do you care about?

To forget for just for one sec-ond who's right and who's wrongand just see a side or an idea thatmaybe you haven't even looked atbefore. Or is it just some excuse toput a hot girl in a short skirt on thepaper?

What do I see when I look atthese pictures? I've been askedthis question all summer.

The answer is simple: I see themost dangerous thing to man onthe planet. I see the one thing thatstrikes fear into the hearts of menand the last real hope of bringingany sort of balance to a societydominated by patriarchal valuesand beliefs. I see a beautiful, in-telligent woman. And the truth isthis ... there's nothing scarier to aguy than that. ..

This is a response. BY AUTUMN HAYNE5Interim Women's Center

Coordinator

In response to the l?ho-to layout, the Boise StateWomen's Center has threereactions:

Were any human rightsviolated?

We expect that there will be nu-merous reactions to these photo-graphs. However, when held up toa human rights framework, one'must conclude that no rights havebeen Violated. The woman in thephotographs willingly posed for'each picture. Had these photosbeen "doctored" or had-she beencoerced in any way. then herrights would have been violatedand we would have cause to re-spond. However, because the pho-tos were contrived and no rightsof the woman were violated, wehave no objection to the photos.Now. some may argue that theyfeel their rights have been vio-lated due to the hyper-sexualizedsubject of these photos.

Society's Sexualization ofWomen

We cannot deny that we are dis-cussing these pictures because

'Consider yourreaction if an olderwoman or a youngboy or a manposed for thesesame photos.Would we be

having this dis-cussion? And if so,would thecontentchange?Why do we sexu-

alize some and de-sexualizeothers? ,------systems exist in this countrythat sexualize the female gender,thereby objectifying women.

These pictures, while sugges-tive, are not all that shocking orunsettling because we are accus-tomed to seeing women, particu-larly attractive women. portrayedin this manner.

However, why are we looking atpictures of a woman in a science

lab instead of reading about herresearch? Consider your reactionif an older woman or a young boyor a man posed for these samephotos?

Would we be having this dis-cussion? And if so, would the con-tent change?

Why do we sexualize some andde-sexualize others?The institutionalized, patriar-

chal systems exist in our societyto sexualize and objectify womenrather than celebrate their ac-complishments as citizens andcontributors to this community.

·..SafetyConcerns... ......

. Finally, there are some seriousconcerns for this woman's per-sonal safety. Understanding thatthese photographs were stagedfor the purpose of deve/o pingdiscussion, one must note the im-practicality of the setting.

Any person, student or profes-sional, working in a lab aroundpotentially dangerous chemicalswould take precautions to protectthemselves. For example, close-toed shoes, the appropriate wear-ing of safety goggles, and the cov-ering of exposed skin are protocolfor any lab technician.

Basically, we encourage you notto attempt this at home.

This is crossing the lineBY RICHAE 5WANBECK

Guest Opinion

Go ahead, call me conservative.I won't deny it, because it's true.I guess it was about a month agothat I was asked to take a specificpicture for the newspaper of a girlover in one of the chemistry labson campus.

The' picture was going to beused for an article about this girl.Sure. I didn't have a problem withthat. In fact that's my job - I takethe pictures for the paper.

I was asked to take the picturein a way that would break thestereotype of "only nerdy peoplework with chemicals,"by showingthat this girl wasr.eally quite pret-ty. Not only did my editor wanther to look pretty, but also "sexy."

The editor followed along on theshoot, and directed the way thathe wanted it to look.

The photo shoot done, I headedback to the offices to edit my pic-tures.

The moment that I pulled thosepictures up on the screen, I feltembarrassed and uneasy aboutthe way that they looked.

To me, this particular picturelooked suggestive, and seductive.After some thought about it, I de-cided that Ldld not want that pic-turein the paper with my nameunder it as the photographer.

As a photojournalist, my job atthe paper is to take a picture thattells a story, or makes a statementabout a situation or a person. This.picture had no purpose or reason

.to be printed.

Itwasn't telling a story, and itwasn't explaining the situationany better. It was merely a seduc-tive picture of agirl in not muchmore than a lab coat. I understandthat we, as a college newspaper.are supposed to push the limits,and do things that are "shocking"and abrupt.

These are the things that makepeople. stop and take a secondlook. But there is a fine line be-tween' pushing the .limits andcrossing the line of professional-ism.

To me, printing this picturewould have been crossing thatline, and it just wasn't worth it.Don't get me wrong, I know thatsometimes you can cross thisline to make a.strong statement.But in this situation. there was no

strong statement that needed tobe made.

I had the final decision onwhether or not this picture shouldbe printed - and it took me abouta month to finally decide. In onerespect, I could see how a picturesuch as this could, like the edi-tor wanted, be able to break the"geek" stereotype. This picturedefinitely showed that.

As lfwe haven't heard enoughwhiningfrom the left, Sandra DayO'Connor had to stepdown from

Liberals are understandablyupset. They lost the House,' theSenate, and the Presidency to evilright wing conspirators - it's a

CLiberals should be .countingtheir lucky stars - a perfectlysecular, non-religious activitywhich neither affirms nor de-nies the existence of GOd.,

matter of immense .aggravationand embarrassment. .

Now they stand to lose the.lastgovernment body willing to legis-late a liberal agenda: the SupremeCourt. Oops, did I say legislate? Imeant "adjudicate." Silly me.

The liberal court sbamelesslybears a record of activism andconstitutional degradation thatmust have the founding fathersrolling in their graves. For ex-ample, the court miraculouslyfound the "right" to shove a forkinto the brain of an unborn childand vacuum its lifeless body fromthe womb (Roe v. Wade, PlannedParenthood v. Casey, Stenberg v.Carhart).

The court also launched anopen assault on the free exercise

. of religion (Santa Fe IndependentSchool District v. Doe, Lee v.Weisman, Edwards v. Aguillard,Wallacev. Jaffree,AlleghenyCountyv. ACLU),and mostrecently,the rightto ownand main-tain prop-erty (Kelov. City of New London).

The forgotten epidemic: Whygays are losing the war on HIVBY TAYL..OR C. NEWBOLoD .

Arbiter staff

I visited San Francisco earlierthis month, a city where one infour gay men are mv positive.

, The sadder portion of that statis-tic is that many of them don't real-ly care whether they are or are notpositive. AIDS is viewed now asa chronic disease tantamount todiabetes. Ithas become passe, cli-che, and "so 1985."Unfortunately,this sentiment is not confined toSan Francisco but to the gay com-munity nationwide.

To me it seemed the entire cityhad been completely devastat-ed by some. sort of war fatigue.I asked a number of men theiropinions on AIDS and being gay.Regardless of their age and howlong they had been living in theBay Area, most of their responseswere-of a nonchalant nature. Oneof them actually propositionedme for sex. No thank you.

The onset of the AIDS epi-demic in the heart of the gayMecca caused a pervasive anxi-illY amongst gays which eventu-ally led to a burn out of sorts andhas now turned into an egregiousapathy for safer sex. According to .the Centers for Disease Control(CDC), gay and bisexual menmake up more than 2/3 of all HIVinfections in men and are still oneof the largest populations withand at risk for mv.

A simple glance of the popularWeb Site gay.com shows a per-plexing and disturbing combi-nation more often than not. Likemany gay media outlets, gay.comhas a highly sexual facade to it.The main page features links toselected members of the site whoare often good-looking, twenty-something, men. The names ofchat rooms to choose from rangefrom "chubby chasers" to "wetand messy."

For revenue reasons, the sitealso features a barrage of adver-tisements, which are often frompharmaceutical companies push-ing out the newest antiretroviralmedication for HIV.

Often the ads are of healthy-looking, supposedly gay,men withsmiles on their faces and sloganslike "Just once a day!" slappedacross themselves. Wouldn't it beeye-catching if these ads had thesame men on them but with slo-gans such as, "Will give you se-vere diarrhea and may cause yourkidneys to shut down!" I'd like tosee that level of honesty. Ifthe adsare not of medicine, then they areof pornographic Web sites andvideos. .

The life ofa young, hot, gay manon the outside seems to be great,but not to this homosexual. Bythe thousands, they congregateto participate in circuit parties- massive, days long, events fu-eled by music, illicit drug use, and- you guessed it - promiscuoussex. The reasoning behind sucha spectacle? They charge at least$5~ a body and-give a porUpl1 ofthe proceeds to charity, most of-ten an AIDS charity. Ironic Isn'tit?

Crystal meth use is now a lead-ing health epidemic amongstgay men, next to HIV and STDs,which makes sense becausewhere there's one there usually isthe other. IfSatan himself were todesign a drug, itwould have beenmeth.

Studies involving gay men showthat more and more are hookingup online. There isn't a doubt inmy mind that this happens ongay.com, a site which rarely everhas safer sex advertisements onits pages.

What are the steps that need totake place to reduce infections?

All gay bathhouses must be shutdown. During 'the 1980s, many

such establishments were shutdown with much political fervor;however, they are coming back inlarger numbers throughout theU.S. every year. Having sex in a,public facility is not a civil right.

Circuit parties must stop. Ifthe real reason to have these isto raise much needed funds forcharity, then have a banquet, bar-beque, or a drag show. Do some-thing else besides play loud tech-no music and dance with sweatytopless men.

The Bush Administration mustfully fund' all social programsdedicated to caring for those in-fected and affected by HIV andAIDS.

New and better interventionprograms must be created andfunded to prevent further infec-tion. The administration is notdoing enough for AIDS in thiscountry, let alone in the world.

Web sites such as gay.comshould run honest ads about whatliving with HIV is really like on alarge scale, rather than postingpharmaceutically paid honky-dqry ads which lead others ~qbelleve that HIV is not a big deal.They should also hire profession-al counselors so that chatters willhave the opportunity to receivehelp on a number of levels, fromcouple's counseling to gettinghelp for substance abuse.

The gay media must endorsemonogamy as not only an ideal,but a necessity, and steer awayfrom its ubiquitous hypersexualmessages.

Now is the time for gays to fig-. ure out what they value in life. Is

it life they value or is it having asix-pack and a hot boyfriend? Is itfamily or is it sex? Is it dignity oris it getting high? Has anythingreally changed since the early1980s?

The party is over whether theyknow it or not.

2003 Congressional hearing, Mr;Roberts said of judicialactiv-ism, "When scrutiny ... goes too·

far on thepart of thejudges andbecomeswhat Ithink isproperlycalled ju-dicial ac-tivism,that is cer-tainly the

central dilemma of having an un-elected, undemocratic judiciaryin a democratic republic."

It's like he took the words rightout of my mouth.

What's not to like about this

guy? He graduated magna cumlaude from Harvard Law, workedfor two presidential administra-tions, argued 39 cases before theSupreme Court, and serves on afederal court of appeals. .Ifthe Senate confirmation hear-

ings are designed to challenge anominee's professional qualifi-cationaRoberts should have noproblem - he's about as qualified,as they come.

Granted, he's conservative.What do liberals expect, anotherGinsburg or Warren? The peopleof this nation voted with theirdimpled and impregnated chads- there's a conservative mandatehere.

President Bush and Congressenjoy a comfortable majority with

which they. could nominate. anextremist, suspend the filibuster,and pushjust about any nomina-tion through the Republican-con-trolled Senate without a hitch.

In all honesty, however, liber-als should be counting their luckystars (a perfectly secular, non-re-ligious activity which neither af-firms nor denies the existence ofGod, nor endorses the worship ofsuch).

Instead ofappointing someonelike John Bolton or Ann Coulter tothe Supreme Court, Bush chosea moderate constitutionalist ofstalwart character ..

It lloks like it doesn't get muchbetter than that - especially forthose in the wayward minority.
