Hawkinsnestlesin forfive moreHawkinsagrees to 5-year, $2.6million contract extension

BY TREVOR HORNsports Editor

On Tuesdaymorning, BoiseState head foot-ball coach DanHawkins agreedto a five-yearcontract ex-tension, worth$2.6 million,that will runthrough the endof the 2009 sea-son. The con-tract will payHawkins a basesalary of $525,000 per year andis packed withbonus incentives.

"It's a major set for this program to become oneof the all-around big time schools and to keep thiswhole winning tradition going," junior offensivelineman Daryn Colledge said. "We think CoachHawk and his whole staffare a major part ofthe win-ning we are doing around here."

Under the helm of Hawkins, the Boise State pro-gram has turned into a powerhouse in the nation,despite a small budget, and the hindering factor ofplaying in a non-BCS conference. '

"It's so exciting to have Hawk here making thislong-term commitment," Boise State PresidentRobert Kustra said.

Hawkins is out oftown on a recruiting trip, but didphone Kustra and Athletic Director Gene Blaymeierabout the announcement and made a written state-ment through the athletic department.

"I'm very excited about what we have accom-plished and even more excited about what is possiblein the future," Hawkins said. "The city of Boise andBoise State University are very special places and I'mlooking forward to continuing to grow this programfurther."

He is expected to sign the extensiononce he arrives back into town on Friday.The Broncos are a combined 44-6 over the last fourseasons with Hawkins as the head coach. The teamhas led the nation in scoring the last two seasons andis ranked second this season behind their LibertyBowl opponent Louisville. The team recently com-pleted the first undefeated regular season in schoolhistory as a four-year university. The Broncos arealso nationally ranked in the top-10 for the first timeever - all while possessing the second youngest teamin the nation.

Increased homelessness bringsIncreased needs of seruicss

BY CRSSIE GUTIERREZNews Writer

"I think [homelessnessl is-getting worsewith the economy we are seeing," saidGadzinski. "The cost of living is get-ting higher. We see more extremes, verywealthy or very poor. You need to makeabout $11.60 an hour just to scrape by.Economically, we are seeing many morehomeless families and more homelessmen and women."

The community house has 66 beds forsingle men, 16 for single women, and 20for families. In the winter, they have anextra 40 beds for men. They also hold 3Bstudio apartments at a low rent. The BoiseCommunity House is a night shelter only,meaning the guests must be out between9a.m. and 5p.m. Hnweyer, in the winterwhen it's very cold, they make exceptionsand allow their guests to stay a little laterin the morning.

The privately funded Boise RescueMission is another alternative for shelter.

"We provide meals, shelter, chapel ser-vices, clean clothes, and bible studies,"said Boise Rescue Mission ExecutiveDirector Bill Roscoe. "We teach life skills,a parenting class for women, and we pro-

.vide a year-long residential drug and al-cohol recovery program, which is very in-tensive and involves recovery training."

They have separate shelters for men,women and children. The Mission is alsoseeing an increase of homeless ness, espe-cially in the winter. The beds are prettymuch full, and they are pulling out sleep-ing mats for people to use.

"This time of year we expect to have anoverflow and we do," Roscoe said. "Wejust ordered 30 more mats for our FrontStreet location."

The cold weather has influenced theBoise Rescue Mission to keep their cha-pel open during the day so the homelessmay come in and keep themselves awayfrom the cold. "Wemake that same ser-vice available to everybody, especiallythe elderly and women with small chil-dren;" Roscoe said.The Mission has not had to turn any-

one away this' year. "I think we will beokay this year and not have to turn any-one away however, we will need morespace soon," Roscoe said.

Special to Tha Rrbltar

BSU students, faculty, and staff'may not be aware of the many po-tential dangers that lurk unseenon campus. It is the job of three.men to change that.

Cal Gillis, environmental health,o{ficertDean Schurger, occupa-,tion health and safety officer; andRandy Bunnis, safety and losscontrol specialist, are chargedwith meeting the guidelines thatensure the health and safety ofthose on campus.

With 18,456 students enrolledat Boise State, 1,025 faculty mem-bers, and 2,100 staff, doing thatjob to the highest standard isdemanding. "Currently we haveonly three safety and health staffmembers-that hold the respon-

sibilities of approximately ninesimilar staff at the University ofIdaho:' Gillis said.

As the University's safetywatchdog, their goal is to recom-mend, develop and implementstandards that create a safe andhealthy work place. "Students,faculty, staff, visitors, even thefans in Bronco stadium; we musthave everyone in mind when as-sessing campus safety," Bunnlssaid.

With limited resources, doingthat can be difficult. "Right nowwe are getting a 'C: we are meet-ing minimum requirements, butif one person gets hurt unnec-essarily, that is one too many,"Bunnis said.

"We would really like to beworking more pro-actively," Gillissaid, "but currently we are busy

Additionally, many profes-sors are expanding biologicaland chemical lab research proj-ects that are increasing the needto upgrade lab facilities at theschool.

.Schwarzenegger a poster child forallowing foreign-born presidents

BY PRUL NUSSBRUMKnight Rlddar Nawspepars

PHILADELPHIA - PresidentArnold Schwarzenegger?

Some fans of the Californiagovernor like the sound of that somuch that they are joining a grow-ing movement to allow foreign-born citizens to be president.

Schwarzenegger, the former ac-tor and bodybuilder, grew up inAustria and became a U.S. citizenin 1983. Under provisions of the.Constitution, he - like MichiganGov. Jennifer M. Granholm, Sen.-elect Mel Martinez, CommerceSecretary nominee Carlos M.'Gutierrez and every other immi-grant - is ineligible for the presi-dency.

For most of the 216 years since.the adoption of the Constitution,'there has been little debate aboutArticle 2, Section 1, which states:"No Person except a natural born'Citizen, or a Citizen of the UnitedStates, at the time of the Adoptionof this Constitution, shall be eligi-ble to the Office of President."

But now there are four pro-posals in Congress to amend theConstitution to permit foreign-born citizens to be president, aftera lengthy period of citizenship (20to 35years, depending on the bill).Three of the measures were in-troduced before Schwarzeneggerbecame governor last year, andtheir sponsors say the amend-ments were not crafted with himin mind.

Schwarzenegger, though, hasbecome the poster child of themovement, and he has said hewould consider running for presi-dent if the Constitution allowed.Last month, TV commercials, cre-ated by a Schwarzenegger fund-raiser, were shown in Californiaurging support for an "amendfor Arnold" campaign. And thecampaign's founders have cre-ated a companion Web site, www.amendforarnold.org, to raisemoney and rally support.

Advocates of changing theConstitution say the currentprovision is out of date and un-American.

"The purpose of the native-born-citizen requirement haslong passed, and it is time for us ...to remove this impediment:' Sen.Orrin G. Hatch, R-Utah, said whenhe introduced a constitutional-amendment proposal last year.He cited the more than 700 Medalof Honor winners who have beeniJllmigrants, "but no matter how

great their sacrifice, leadership orlove for this country, they remainineligible to be a candidate forpresident."

Opponents say the FoundingFathers' concerns about dividedallegiances are still valid and theConstitution should not be al-tered.

In a Gallup poll conducted lastmonth, 31 percent of respon-dents said.they favored such anamendment, compared with 28percent in the summer. the poll-sters mentioned Schwarzeneggerto half of the respondents, andthat produced a slightly higherfavorable response: 39 percentsaid they favored an amendmentwhen Schwarzenegger's namewas included.

The effort to change theConstitution is an uphill battle.To take effect, a constitutionalamendment must be approvedby two-thirds of the House andSenate and by the legislatures of38 states. Since the Constitutionwas ratified, more than 11,000amendments have been offered;27 have been approved.

"It's really hard to amend ...but it's conceivable, if you gotbroad bipartisan support:' saidRogers Smith, a constitutionalscholar who is chairman of thepolitical science department atthe University of Pennsylvania."I think you could find support,but somebody has to push for ithard."

Hearings were held on Hatch'sresolution in October, but noneof the four measures in Congresshas moved out of committee. Allfour proposals will expire at theend of the year, though similarmeasures are expected to be in-troduced in both chambers earlyin the next Congress.

There is little evidence to indi-cate exactly why the framers in-cluded the no-immigrants pro-vision. But it appears, historianssay, that they were concerned thata foreign-born president mighthave divided loyalties or lackcommitment to the new demo-cratic experiment that was theUnited States.

There were concerns aboutBritish, French and Spanish in-fluence and fears that a foreign-born noble might be imported torule the United States. There ap-parentlywere rumors in 1787 thatthe second son of King George III,the Duke of York, was interestedin being an American king.

At the time the Constitution

California Gouarnor RrnoldScharzaneggar

was written, European rulerswere commonly imports fromelsewhere on the continent. Infact, George IIIwas the first of hisGerman-based line to be born inEngland and to use English as hisfirst language.

"There was a tendency to im-pose executive power fromabroad:' said James Hilty, a his-tory professor at Temple and anexpert on the presidency .. "Onething the framers did not wantwas another monarch .... They didknowwhat theywanted: someonewith fidelity to America.

"It made good sense then."Now, Hilty said, he would sup-

port an amendment to changethat provision.

"Why not? We're a country ofimmigrants. If it's only a questionof extending opportunities andtaking advantage of people's tal-ents, Idon't see why not."

Richard Stengel, president ofthe National Constitution Centerin Philadelphia, said there was"almost a paranoia among theframers that some foreign-bornaristocrat would come in with alot of money and buy his way in."Stengel said that now, "by ourlights, (the provision) is not veryegalitarian or very American ....We tell immigrants that noth-ing is barred to you - except onething: the presidency."

Jack Martin, of the Federationfor American ImmigrationReform, said the group, whichadvocates reduced immigrationto the Un;ted States, opposes anamendment to change the native-born requirement.

"We think the Founding Fathershad a legitimate sense that any-one who was not a natural citizenwould continue to have a poten-tial conflict of ties with anothercountry:' Martin said.

BY SIDNEY ZIONNew York DOily Nowo

The latest battle in the great War onDrugs showed up in the Supreme Courton Monday, with the feds arguing that if'sick or dying people are allowed to usehomegrown marijuana for their pain, theprice on the streets will go down.

In the logic of the war department, thiswould have a terrible impact on interstatecommerce, where, presumably, Congresshas an interest in promoting the sale ofmarijuana.

If this strikes you as crazy, it's be-cause you don't understand the law, thenecessary reach of a government that isgrounded on the Commerce Clause of theConstitution. We are talking now of the

Sanity IS AWOL In war on drugsstuff of lawyers and judges, who, whenit comes to drugs, display no immunityfrom going AWOLfrom reality.

First, the facts of the two cases out ofCalifornia that the top court heard thisweek. One involved a woman with inop-erable brain cancer, the other a womanwhose severe back spasms require mari-juana.

By referendum, California voterspassed a law permitting the use of mari-juana under a doctor's order to relieve avariety of medical ailments. Nine otherstates followed suit.. The federal drug enforcers answered

by busting both women. The U.S. Courtof Appeals in California ruled for themon the grounds their conduct did notfall within Congress' authority to regu-

late interstate commerce because thishad nothing to do with allYkind of com-merce, much less interstate)

Youmight think the government wouldlet cases like this pass or at least showbenign neglect. We're not talking aboutlegalization of narcotics here, just rnedi-calization, just humanity.

But the War on Drugs has no interest insuch sentimentality. This war is 90 yearsold with nothing to show but failure,combined with rampant corruption.

It doesn't matter, The more we lose, themore we spend. In the Supreme Court ar-guments, the government estimated thatthe marijuana market alone accounts for$10.5billion a year - then asked the courtto knock out California's law in the nameof helping the war succeed!

The argument that homegrown pot hadan impact on interstate commerce restson a 1942 Supreme Court decision that.allowed the feds to punish a wheat grow-er for withholding his home consump-tion from the Agriculture Department'sregulations. The reason: Ifhe hadn't usedit for his family, he'd have bought it in themarketplace, thus' raising the price ofwheat, which Congress wanted.

Justice Anthony Scalia said he had al-ways thought that case was a joke, butnow he opined that it was the law. Scalia,

. who votes for states' rights except whenhe doesn't- see Gore v. Bush - said thatthe old wheat ruling looked right to himnow.

Students of Scalia, the sharpest man onthe court, might have thought he could

.separate the wheat from the weed. Butthe politics of drugs has a way with the .finest of minds, and according to report-ers covering the court, the majority is go-ing to overturn the California law.

I asked YaleKamisar, the legendary law'professor at Michigan Law School, whathe thought about this apparent relianceby the court on the ancient wheat deci-sion.

"I look at it this way,"he said. "If they'reright, the Congress can ban breast-feed-ing because it has an economic impacton the interstate sale of milk."

BY DR. MICHREL MRTTISONRNO BLRINE ECKLES

In a recent Arbiter article("Visitingprofessoraccusedofpla-glarisrn," 11129/04), a Universityfaculty member defended plagia-rizing another individual's edito-rial piece by stating, "If you takeinformation off the Internet, it'sfree and clear." Though we do notwish to criticize the individualpersonally, we do want to stressthat we find his statement utterlyridiculous. Worse, we find it dan-gerous. Following such advicecould lead to severe consequenc-es for a writer. .

Boise State University takes astrong stance on plagiarism andother acts of academic dishones-ty. Since 2001, 206 students havebeen found responsible for actsof academic dishonesty, and over95% of those students were foundto have plagiarized their work.The sanction most often imposedupon students for this infractionis a zero on the assignment. Atother times, students receive an"F" for the course. Students whohave been found responsible forfurther acts of academic dishon-esty at Boise State have been sus-pended and even expelled. TheUniversity also requires intellec-tual honesty from its employeesin performing the scope of theirduties. According to Dr. SonaAndrews, Provost, when such cas-es of employee misconduct occur,appropriate sanctions and penal-ties are imposed.

We are thus concerned thatthe students and faculty of Boise

State clearly understand their re-sponsibility for citing sources. Ifyou are not the original authorof a piece of work (a short story, aterm paper, a letter to the editor,Iiweb site, etc.), and you use thatpiece of work in your own, youmust give credit. Even if a workhas no author, you need to indi-cate. where your information wasobtained.

Fortunately, there are many re-sources for students and facultywho have questions on citation.The Boise State Writing Centerhas handbooks for most citationformats, and the consultants arehappy to discuss how best to in-corporate sources into your work.Albertsons Library carries mul-tiple copies of citation handbooksand places some of each on everyfloor; the reference librarians arealso willing to answer questionson how to cite a source. And, be-cause citation conventions dif-fer between disciplines and evenbetween classrooms, studentsshould know to check with theirprofessors if they have questions.Some colleges, like Business andEconomics, even have their ownwriting handbooks that have sec-tions on proper citation methods.

Citation is not an easy practice,But it can be learned, and it needsto be, especially in an academicsetting. If you take the time toproperly cite your sources, thenwhat will be free and clear areyour conscience and your reputa-tion.

Onewould ask, if so willing to openlyplagiarize to the entire body ofBSUhow many times did it occurin his thesis?

BSUhas taken no action in thismatter, and I'm embarrassed tocall myself a student because ofit. This does nothing for BSU's al-ready inadequate academic repu-tation except for lower it further.

And what has professor Woodallused as an excuse? He claimedthat it was off the Internet andtherefore free reign. Well, I wouldanswer that with, ."then whydoes APAhave a specific formatrequired. for citing text off theInternet?"

Watch out professors, since BSUhas said that it's all right to plagia-rize from the Internet by lettingprofessor Woodall get away withit, you might want to pay close at-

tention to future student's papers.I guess we can now use the sameexcuse.

person responsible for submit-ting another's work to The Arbiteras my own rather than ProfessorWoodall, the school would mostdefinitely not act against me.Why? Because I am not guilty ofacademic dishonesty, I am merelyguilty of general dishonesty be-cause the work was not submit-ted for credit. It is certainly notthe role of the university to pun-ish faculty or students for this sortof behavior unless it is associatedwith their respective duties assuch. The school will act as it mustto regulate those activities of stu-dents and faculty that fall withintheir respective roles within theuniversity setting. Submitting let-ters to a newspaper has no directlink to Professor Woodall's roleas a faculty member and there-fore the school has no jurisdic-tion in this matter. The provostobviously understands this dis-tinction, but apparently not ev-eryone who submits commentaryto The Arbiter shares that under-standing. Regardless of his guilt

or innocence in this matter, howProfessor Woodall responds is hisdecision; a personal decision. Myadvice for students writing to the~ditor: understanding that theschool has responded appropri-ately, show a little respect,let himmake his decision, and do notsubject him to further slander.

He talks himse,lfaround the issue of plagiarismand hits on other topics such aspolitics. The election results arenot a scapegoat to his currentsituation. Attempting to changethe subject is not going to makehis mistake go away. It is disap-pointing that there are not goingto be any consequences to his ac-tions. If the roles were turned andit was a ~tudent charged with phi.-giarism I fear the outcome wouldbe tremendously different. Onthe other hand, as a student, signme up for one of his classes.

Henr~Rollins'IS selto rockas ,8 filmcritic

BY JOE NEUMAIEANew York Deily News

The days of the sweater-clad,thumb-ranking, warm-and-fuzzyTV film critic may be at an end:Rocker Henry Rollins is in themovie house.

The front man for '80s punkband Black Flag, radio talker,spoken-word artist and self-pro-claimed "angry man" now hostshis own movie review program,"Henry's Film Corner," airing thefirst Saturday of every month atmidnight on the IndependentFilm Channel.

The first episode airs Saturday.True to his contrarian ways,

Rollins - who has acted in suchfilms as "Heat" and "Bad Boys II"- proclaims his love for art-housedramas and such foreign directors·as Akira Kurosawa and WernerHerzog before rhapsodizing about"Die Hard" and "Predator.": "Every genre will get a fair shake!In my show," Rollins said. "I love

big blow-em-up films. YetIwant to say toyoung peo-ple, 'Sure, gowatchallyouraction films,get yer ya-yasout. But leavetime for 'CoolHand Luke'and 'TheGodfather.' Ifit's junk intoyour mind,then it's junkout. If all kidsdo is watch'Dumb andDumber,'then they,

· review shows as discussions ofrecent blockbusters and DVDchoices, "Henry's Film Corner"will include an examination ofpolitical and social issues in filmsand "Rollins' Revenge," a segmentin which no movie is safe from the

· host's pentup wrath.~ Rollins, wearing a black T-shirt,'also will discuss cinema with ce-, lebrity guests and everyday folks., In the first episode, he talks with· his mailman, Raoul, about thesimilarities between the TomCruise epic "The Last Samurai"and Kurosawa's "The SevenSamurai."

'. "Hollywood wants guys like-· Raoul to shut up and consume,· so they can feed him another tur-gid, overdone, CGI-filled piece of

, if Hollywood listens to the rightcritics, maybe their films can be

, better. I'm approaching my showas a guy who loves movies," hesaid. "As a fan, I'll respect a filmenough to care when if it's bad.But if a film angers me, I'll torchit."

And he knows what he doesn't· like.

"Ihave a contempt for lazy film-making," he said. "A movie like'Terminator 3' was boring and in-sulting to the bricklayer who pays .10 bucks times two; with park-ing, for him and his date. ArnoldSchwarzenegger owes that guydinner!"

this week, my reward is a series ofexaminations to prove whetheror not I have been paying atten-tion throughout the term. Whydon't professors just ask us if wehave been tuning in? I tell youwhat, I'll save them the time ofhaving to ask. I haven't been pay-ing attention since August.

I do have some good news,though. Later this month, I willget to save some money on mycar insurance. No, I'm serious!Marketing students don't joke.Okay, they do, but it doesn't makeme any less serious. I turn twen-ty-five this month, and if youare at all savvy to the way insur-ers torture their customers, theygive slight reprieve on how muchmoney they are willing to stealfrom people when they success-fully make it halfway through

to get what they want, and theirdesires and visions often collide.Mieville has an uncanny indiffer-ence to good and evil.

Mieville's characters work to-gether and against. each otherfor the causes of honor, money,history, love, hate, revenge, con-tempt, jealousy, apathy and anar-chy. They do not divide betweengood and evil to battle it out.They work with the tools of poli-tics and persuasion. ~ievillecreates a fantasy worid, andthen populates it with peoplereflecting the dynamic confu-sion of humanity.

I Itheir twenties. Hooray for gettingold. On a side note, I've decid-ed this is the last birthday I willever acknowledge. Science-be-damned, I will be twenty-five forthe rest of my life.

As a marketing student, I'd liketo take one moment to complainabout some advertisements I'veseen on television the past fewweeks. Toyota claimed on a com-mercial that their truck is "ver-satilier" than competing compa-nies. Bah! Leave it to the market-ing guys to come up with a wordthat ridiculous. And Pepsi is nowselling a variation on their typi-cal cola called "Holiday Spice."I will steer clear of the obliga-tory comment that this soundslike a lost member of the SpiceGirls and mention that I like myPepsi just the way it is. Odd as it

sounds, though, itmaybeworthatry. Until such day as I manage tograduate from college, high fruc-tose corn syrup, inall oflts glo-rious forms, will remain a close,personal friend.

So, anyway, my point got mud-died in here again. Dead Weekkills me. Pun intended. I needmore rest to come up with anysort of quality jokes. Finals aren'tmuch better, but at least they arenot under a guise of "no tests thisweek."

As this is my final column ofthe term, I will take one momentto wish all a wonderful holiday. Ifanyone is bored or feeling gener-ous, they should send me somemoney. Heck, send me a Toyota.I guarantee it will be "versatllier"than anything else you could getme.

Mieville returns readers to B -Lag in novelBY ROGER Ill. VENABLE

Culture Writer

Following the success ofhis first three novels, ChinaMieville's "Iron Council" markshis first hardcover release.

The book returns readersto Bas-Lag, the fantasy worldMieville created in "PerdidioStreet Station," and returned toin "The Scar."

Mieville .shuns typical fan-tasy, however, and aims to cre-ate literary fantasy that deflatesthe widespread misconception-of fantasy as "badly-written, clio

ched and obsessed with back-ward-looking dreams of the past- feudal daydreams of good kingsand fair Maidens." Mieville attri-butes this stereotype to the abun-dance of Tolkien copycats « :

"Iron Council" does not contin-ue an epic quest set forth in eitherof Mieville's previous Bas-Lagworks. It tells an entirely new sto-ry, with entirely new characters,as did "The Scar."

Twenty years .later,remembering Live Aid

BY-GEORGE M. THO MRSKnight Ridder Newspapers

IDAHOdowntown boise On July 13, 1985,I was like most

20-year-olds - young, dumb andinsincere.

Iwas more concerned with howloud I could crank my car stereo. Ilooked at the week as one big par-ty, hitting assorted drinking es-tablishments in Cleveland's east-ern 'burbs three to five nights perweek. Mybig challenge was tryingto memorize that passage from"Carry On My Wayward Son," theKansas tune. You know the one:"Once I rose above the noise andconfusion, just to get a glimpsebeyond this illusion ..." Yes, thatbit of poetry was a priority.

The next day was differentbecause of one seminal event- Live Aid, the concert featur-ing a roster of artists that stillmakes music promoters sali-vate. Organized hurriedly by BobGeldof to aid famine-plaguedcountries in Africa, performerswere Phil Collins, Sting, the Who,the Boomtown Rats, Queen, Elton

• John, the Pretenders, Madonna,Paul McCartney, Tom Petty & theHeartbreakers, the Cars, Hall &Oates, Duran Duran and a host ofothers.

Often regarded as rock'scrowning moment, the simulta-neous concerts in Philadelphiaand London worked wonders byraising awareness of a problemthat had gone virtually ignoredby the world's leaders. The recentrelease ofthe DVDofthe concert,"Live Aid" (no rating, WarnerHome Video, $39.99) has onlyconfirmed the importance of theevent.. I sat there on the floor of JFK

All ofthose made it to the disc,but there is a notable omission:.The performance of the reunitedLed Zeppelin, with Phil Collinsand Tony Thompson on duel-ing drums, didn't make it to theset because of Jimmy Page andRobert Plant's unhappiness withits quality. It's not difficult tounderstand their objection, butanyone who wants to own thiswouldn't have cared. For millionsthat was a historic moment inrock, as was the entire day.

Culturally, LiveAid showed me,for one ofthe first times in my life,the universal power ofmusic. Andits roster of talent was prescientin its view of popular music's fu-ture.

When Run-D.M.C. took thestage at JFK, I knew 'that was themoment rap and its hip-hop cul-ture had been validated. Todaythat segment of music dominatescharts and is the soundtrackof choice for most of America'syouth. In Daryl Hall & John Oates'performance with Eddie.Kendrickand David Ruffin, we see the pur-veyors of blue-eyed soul paying

homage to two African-Americangiants who led the way.

On that day, the Band Aid Trustraised $140 million to aid fam-ine relief in Africa, but they alsoearned some serious politicalcapital and forced the world'sleaders to take note. Although art-ists have always worked for theirpet projects, this event usheredin a new age of political activism,which had waned since the end ofthe Vietnam War.

Though it's unlikely that Geldofreleased the DVD package to stirpolitical discussion - he origi-nally had never thought of futurebroadcasts or technology such ashome video - it's both peculiarand tragic how some now demon-ize activism on the part of artists.

After the 9-11 terrorist attacksin NewYorkCity and Washington,D.C., actors and musicians wereamong the first who decided todo something to aid the victims."America: A Tribute to Heroes," atelethon featuring the likes ofBillyJoel, U2 and Bruce Springsteen,raised more than $150million.

Yet when Springsteen and oth-ers decided to perform to raisemoney to thwart George Bush'sre-election, they were brandedunpatriotic by some. It pointsto the hypocrisy that pervadesour culture regarding the role ofperformers - they'if only sup-posed to speak their minds whenit serves all. That isn't a premisethis country is based upon. LiveAid proved they've earned theright to exercise their freedom ofspeech.

After LiveAid, IleftPhiladelphiaa changed person - mor~ politi-cally aware. Although I passed upmy right to vote in my first presi-dential election in 1984, I haven'tmissed an election since.

There is no diminishing theinfluence of this event then andnow. The concert continues tobenefit the people of Africa withthe release of the DVD, but itshould be given credit for rais-ing the collective conscience of aglobal population that is often toocontent to remain self-involved.

~3,'premiering Saturday on ESPNBY HRL BOEDEKERThe Orlendo Sentinel

Dale Earnhardt's fans will findone reason to cheer "3'"; BarryPepper gives a mesmerizing per-formance as the racer. He rates a10.

The by-the-numbers biogra-phy surrounding him, however,comes in far lower. The ESPNfilm,debuting Saturday, earns a 5.

Like many other biographies,"3" errs by shoving a fascinatinglife into a brief running time. Thefilm covers more than 30 yearsin 90 minutes, an approach thatguarantees superficial resultsand pat insights.

The movie tries to do twothings: trace 'Earnhardt's ca-reer and examine his family life.Even though the title representsthe number of Earnhardt's car,the racing receives the skimpiertreatment, which is sure to disap-point NASCARfans.

The focus on Earnhardt's pri-vate life transforms "3" into atear-jerker. It's an often joylessride, and that's a huge failing for afilm about a life that provided somuch pleasure for so many.

Robert Eisele's script falls intosuch obvious chunks that youcould diagram the movie. Thefirst third depicts Dale's rocky re-

lations with his dad, Ralph (J.K.Simmons), a demanding race-cardriver. Ralph spits out challenges,such as, "When are you' going tolearn what it takes to be a man?"

The first third also skimsDale's two broken marriages.The second part introduces Daleto Teresa (Elizabeth Mitchell),who becomes his third wife, andcharts his burgeoning career.

The last third lingers over Dale'suneasy ties to son Dale Jr. (ChadMcCumbee), who longs to race.

The film ends, of course, withDale's death at the Daytona 500in 2001. To foreshadow that trag-edy, the script awkwardly putsprophetic lines in his mouth.

"When I die, I'm gonna be allused up," Dale says. At anotherpoint, he tells Dale Ir., "Racingain't the only thing in life, son."

That the lines carry punch isa credit to Pepper's passionateperformance. The Canadian ac-tor ages convincingly from 16 to49. He looks eerily like the racer,thanks to excellent makeup ofdifferent mustaches and pros-thetic noses through the years.

He receives superb supportfrom Mitchell, who's touching asTeresa, and from Simmons, who'simposing as the father.

Director Russell Mulcahy de-serves kudos for drawing goodacting in key role, but he's atthe mercy of a script that rushes

,through the years in not-so-sub-tle fashion. To do the family andrace themes justice, "3"needed tobe a miniseries.

As it is, "3" is respectful, sim-plistic and trite - what you'd ex-pect from a standard screen bi-ography. Earnhardt deservedsomething deeper, but at leasttheterrific Pepper winds up in thewinner's circle.

R'Closer'look atmodern'

loueBY ROGER W. UENRBLE

Culture Writer

"Closer" focuses on four char-acters in contemporary London:a dermatologist, a photographer,a writer and an American, Larry,Anna, Dan and Alice.

The film begins with the firstmeeting between Dan and Alice.A taxi hits Alice as she tries tocross the street. Dan makes thecab driver take her to the hos-pital. They begin a relationshipthat leads to Dan writing a bookbased on Alice. He then meetsAnna, the photographer his pub-lisher hired to take the photo forhis book jacket. Dan wants to seeAlice regularly, but she refuseshis offer.

In a particularly funny scene,Dan manipulates Larry into anencounter with Alice. Larry andAlice begin a relationship. Thecarousel begins revolving, withrelationships between the fourcharacters changing, breaking,and reforming.

Lovedoes not sweep away pan,Larry, Anna, or Alice. They donot unintentionally but cheer-fully ride the wave of some magi-cal force that propels them inevi-tably toward happiness. "Closer"does not tell of the pure, inno-cent love of romantic comedy,but rather deals with the thingspeople do to each other in thename of love. Love and fate donot make fools ofthe characters;they do it to each other.

At one point, Alice asks Dan,"Why isn't love enough?" Shegets no answer, but all of thecharacters' behavior affirms thatlove, indeed, isn't enough. Eachof the four manipulates the oth-ers in order to pursue personalhappiness as defined by momen-tarywhim. ~

The characters' mutual intel-ligence and wlllingness to de-ceive makes the film delightful,even if in a grotesque way. Noneof the characters fall victim- tothe others. None has superiorpower over the others. None actonly from noble intentions. Eachfights as hard as he or she can toget what he or she wants from theothers. They match up equally in

, a game that rings too familiar forcomfort.

"Closer" examines sex, but isnot about the act itself. The filmcontains exactly zero sex scenes.Rather than showing the superfi-cial' the film examines how thesepeople use, misuse, and confusesex as an aspect of their relation-ships. They hurt and heal eachother with it, they give it too muchweight in their relationships andtoo little, they manipulate with itand for it. This content, unfortu-nately, will probably turn view-ers off. "Closer" quietly standsapart-especially from otherlive action films-as' one of thebest movies this winter. StarringClive Owen, Julia Roberts, Jude-Lawand Natalie Portman.

McCall band has right T'Frame of Mmd' 0"Therese" arrives in Boise

BY MICHRELR HERLIHYCulture Writer

From the instant the four-member, Frame of Mind be-gan jamming, the crowd at TomGrainey's Sporting Pub had trou-ble staying in their seats Saturdaynight.

The multi-talented band mem-bers play an arrayofinstruments,including electric and bass gui-tars, the harmonica, keyboard,flute, saxophone, drums, per-cussion, and the didgeridoo, alongwooden pipe thatis believedto be the world's oldest wind in-strument. The myriad of instru-ments allowed the band to weaveboth eclectic cover songs andtheir original work with improvinstrumentals.

These instrumental riffs lastedanywhere from 30 seconds to 10

minutes depending on the vibeof the venue. Band member ObieScott described them as "kind oflike a modern day classic rockband."

The band originally surfacedIn Southern California but nowresides in McCall because thecity is centrally located to accom-modate their Northwest touringcircuit. They have been togetherand playing two to four timesa week non-stop for about fiveyears. Having spent this muchtime together provides a comfortlevel for the band to spontane-ously change up songs and "wingit" because they trust one anoth-er. Their favorite venue is John'sAlley in Moscow because theyhave a strong fan following there.They also love the big stage andPA system that complies with

their many instruments.The band's largest accomplish-

ment to date occurred in mid-October of this year when theyplayed in the VooDoo Festival inNew Orleans. A Frame of Mindstage, which the band sponsored,was set up next to the main stagewhere Kid Rock and the BeastieBoys performed.'

Despite upstart success, the'band remains humble. Whetherdelivering a bluegrass versionof Pink Floyd's "Wish You WereHere" or exposing the audienceto an original piece, the bandwas high off the music they cre-ated on Saturday.

The energy was contagious.Space on the dance floor grewsmaller as the crowd of 21-35-year-aids sang along to Sublimetunes and shook what their ma-

-mas gave'them, Between sippingcocktails and grooving on thedance floor, the crowd definitelygot their money's worth from the$3 cover charge.

Between sets, the often la-beled "jam band" threw back afew beers while mingling withflirtatious fans. They modestlythanked the crowd for their par-ticipation and wl11ingly took re-quests.

Frame of Mind is currentlyrecording an acoustic compila-tion titled "Fireside," but theirlatest CD, "Good Medicine," isavailable for $10 at any perfor-mance and on their Web site:www.frameofmindlive.com. Youcan also find tour dates on theWeb site, including informationabout their upcoming show atTom Grainey's on Dec. 30.

Stavinq off Hadiohead comparisons,English act comes into its own

BY BEN WENERThe Orange tuuntp Register

It's doubtful there's ever beena piece written about the bandcalled Muse that hasn't comparedit to British forebear Radiohead.

That may be exaggeration, butnot by much. Even before the triofrom the sleepy coastal town ofTeignmouth, Devon, emergedwith its 1999 debut, "Showbiz,"the litany of "Radiohead clone"putdowns started stacking up.Only the missing-in-action RemyZero has garnered such scoff-ing, though that outfit has beenspared constant haranguing.

"To be honest, I think it's some-thing that's spreading around thepress a bit," affable Muse front-man Matthew Bellamy respond-ed, speaking like a speed-chug-ging Hugh Grant. "It's just beenpassed down like some kind' ofChinese whisper from some re-view in the (British music pub-lication) NME from about sevenyears ago. I don't think anyone atour gigs orwho has bought our al-bums would think that."

That's debatable. I have a fair-ly obvious theory that a heftypart of why Muse has caughton in a big way stateside - es-pecially this year, bolstered byits third and most popular al-bum, "Absolution," and the sin-isterly romantic single "Time IsRunning Out" - is because it sat-isfies a craving from old-schoolRadiohead fans who have growndisenchanted with that band as ithas gotten sonically weirder.

Itisn't just that Muse keeps thespirit. of "The Bends" and "OKComputer" alive with grand ep-ics .of its own, matching its at-traction to the apocalyptic whileadding traces of Queen-y bom-bast, industrial synth sheen andclassical flourishes - the piece"Butterflies & Hurricanes," for in-stance, opens with an homage toRachmaninoff.

More so, it's that Bellamy'ssoaring, high-pitched, prone-to-dramatics voice, though perhapsequally. influenced by the lateJeff Buckley's, Is a dead ringer forThom Yorke's.. "I've always found it verydif-

flcuIt to see the comparison my-self," Bellamy remarked good-

naturedly. "Maybe in the earlydays it made sense, because wechose to work with John Leckie,and he produced (Radiohead's)early albums. And maybe vocally- that kind of emotional thing weboth have or whatever. But that'sabout as far as it goes with me.Musically, and in terms of whatwe stand for, we couldn't be fur-ther apart."

He was quick to add, however,that "I really don't mind it. Foryea rs, people have said all sorts ofthings ... and it hasn't really hadany effect on me or what we do.In the beginning, whether theywere insults or compliments, Iwas generally impressed that wewere being talked about at all."

All Bellamy and his mates- bassist Chris Wolstenhcmeand drummer Doniinic Howard- ever wanted was to find a wayout of Teignmouth, "a pretty de-pressing place to be. We got intoa band because we needed to in-vent some night life for ourselves.Coming from a small town, yougrow up dreaming of wanting toescape. But we never could havepredicted (this) would take usthis far."

Fast-forward to now, and morepeople are talking about Musethan ever before - and takingthe trio seriously. The reason:the band's quite galvanizing liveshow.

Whether its' over-the-top al-bums ever get respect from criticshardly matters now. Through re-peat visits and a few high-profileappearances, Muse has spawneda growing cult of fans who regu-larly sell out its steadily up sizedgigs.

At home and across Europe,where fans have watched thethree maljFs essentially grow upin public (they're all in their mid-205 now).' such success has beenthe case for awhile.

"I'm not sure if it's because ofthe Internet or whatever othergrass-roots thing it might be, butsomehow we've become a biggerlive band than anythingelse,"Bellamy noted. "Look at England,for example: We're doing twogigs at Earl's Court at the end ofthe year, when the kinds of actsthat normally play there are U2or Madonna. It feels strange to

~--

be the band who's sold the leastrecords in the world to ever playthere."

Muse's discs do sell, and quitehandsomely for a band thai's onlybeginning to get airplay. "Butit really seems like the more wetour, the more we play, the morepeople get to know us. We've nev-er really broken wide on main-stream television or radio. It's al-ways been by playing live."

"And that really started to buildhere after ..."

"Coachella," Bellamy finished.I was thinking of the group's im-pressive midday set at KROQ'slast Inland Invasion bash, whereI first noticed how rabid its devo-tees can get. But in retrospect,he's right: Muse's inclusion atCoachella was a crucial turningpoint that lent the band a hip le-gitimacy it hadn't established onits own here.

Not that Bellamy remembersmuch about it.

"It was so unbearably hot thatit was difficult to concentrate, ac-tually. I think we played reason-ablyOKundertheconditions, youknow, but it was so bloody stiflingit's now like a weird, hazy dreamto me, and I don't really under-stand what went on."

What matters isn't how goodor bad Muse was that day. Whatmatters is that the band held onlong enough for such timing tosmile upon it.

, As little as five years ago, therewas no room for Muse within so-called alternative radio's narrowaesthetic. "When our first albumcarne out," Bellamyrecalls, "it wasstanding up against things likeKorn and Limp Bizkit. Everythingwas dominated by hard-rock andnew-metal."

But the musical climate haschanged recently, thanks tothe widespread. pcpularlza-tion of Indle-rock and outletsthat play It. "A few more trulyalternative bands have brokenthrough," Bellamy says, "like theStrokes and the Flaming Lips andColdplay. Ithink that has openedup the gates for us." -

That maybrand Muse a tempo-rarily hot also-ran ..or this couIdbe the start ora small phenom .So what .comes next? Mow doesMuse capitalize on 'this. new-

found niche?Bellamy isn't sure, nor does he

have concrete ideas about thenext Muse album.

"Traveling to America hasrubbed off on me in some ways.There's a sound - I think you callit Tex-Mex?" asked the fan of fla-menco guitar. "Maybe a harder,more electro version of that mightcreep out. Or a bit of mlnimalism- something not quite so grandand epic, more scaled-back."

orary member.Bustillos also has a strong ad-

miration for Saint Therese. Thelife of this young girl, born in1873, has impacted Bustillosalong with the lives of other prac-ticing Catholics. Mother Theresaeven took her name from theLittle Saint, and based muchof her ministry from the life ofTherese.

The movie opened lastSaturday at noon, with a smallturnout. The movie is small, andmost likely will not run for verylong. Its stay will be determinedby how long people continue topurchase tickets. With that said,there is no time better than nowto catch it.

The value of "Therese" com-ing to Boise is apparent. Firstly,it has inherent value in the factthat it is an independent film,a valuable art form in society.Next, the story of this saint hasinfluenced many people prac-ticing one of the United States'largest religions. Watching themovie is a glimpse into the cul-ture of Catholicism. Lastly, it israre to watch on screen the lifeof a person who completely andwilling sacrifices a comfortableexistence in pursuit of somethinghigher, especially when the per-son spoken of is literally a child.

Though not a mainstreammovie in any sense ofthe phrase,it is a piece of history and culturethat will surely interest moviego-ers with open minds.

Jese Bustillos is a busy woman.Still, she found time to bring anindependent movie to Edwards21, a refreshing endeavor con-sidering the theater specializesin big name motion pictures andleaves little room for indie films.

"Therese" is a true story about ayoung French girl who would lat-er become the Little Saint, SaintTherese of Lisieux, Saint Thereseis the youngest person ever to benamed a saint, a woman who be-came a nun at age fifteen. She isknown for her life lived the "LittleWay," a simple belief consistingof "love and trust in God."

Bustillo's vested interest in thefilm is layered. She has a longhistory in radio, film editing,and journalism. She receivedher bachelors of arts in film pro-duction from Hancock College.Bustillos edited film and madesome documentaries during her

.. time at Hancock.In 1979, she became the first

female disc jockey, hosting Viva yReligion (Life and Religion). Theshow presently airs across NorthAmerica and overseas in Spain.

After coming to Boise she con-tacted the Boise State commu-nications department hopingto host a show with Boise Stateradio. Peter Lutze and SusanRandall saw what a valuable edi-tion Bustillos would be to thecommunications departmentand asked her to become an hon-

The postseason award forAdams is a huge accomplishmentfor a guy who played offensive lineat Sheldon High School outsideSacramento, Calif. only becausemost of the starters played bothways. As a senior he recorded 104tackles and four sacks, earningfirst-team all-conference honors,and second-team all-metro hon-ors,

He played junior college foot-ball at American River College inSacramento. There he felt like adefensive player, but in reality itwas setting him up for somethinghe could have never imagined.With only five offensive linemenon the team, it obviously turnedinto a positive future for a defen- ,sive minded player.

As the lone senior starting onthe offensive line for the Broncos,Adams had high expectationsgoing into the season, regardlessof the fact that three freshmen

At Boise State, football helpstell other success stories

BY BOB EURNCHoSpeclel to the Rrblter

Bet you didn't knew Boise StateUniversity is home to a large geo-physical research program fo-cused exclusively on environmen-tal and engineering problems.

Now you do, thanks to our foot-ball team.

And did you know that our de-bate and speech team is a veri-table powerhouse, with a decadeof success that Includes sevenconference championships, fourregional team titles and four con-secutive top-five finishes at thenational forensics tournament?Or that since 1993, eight of our fac-ulty members have been namedthe Carnegie Foundation's IdahoProfessor of the Year? Or thatBoise State boasts Idaho's largestenrollment (18,456) as well as themost stringent enrollment stan-dards among the state's publicinstitutions?

Now you do, thanks to ourfootball team - our undefeated,lO'h·ranked, Liberty Bowl-boundfootball team.

Also, did you know a recent reoport stated that Boise State - bygenerating jobs, providing earn-lngs, stimulating sales and edu-eating citizens - had an annualeconomic. impact of almost $330million for the state of Idaho dur-ing the last fiscal year? Or thavaDNA expert in our Departmentof Biology used his expertise tohelp exonerate an Inmate whowas wrongfully Imprisoned for17 years and serving a life sen-tence for rape? Or that BSU wasrecently part of the largest singleresearch grant in Idaho history?Or that earlier this year one ofour graduates won an Alfred I.DuPont Award, the top honor Inbroadcast journalism? Or that ...well, you get the idea.

(For the record, the geophysi-cal research program comprisesthe Department of Geosciencesand CGISS [pronounced SEE-J!SJ,which stands for the Center forGeophysical Investigation of theShallow Subsurface; the DNA ex-pert is professor Greg Hampikian;the $16.1 million grant is fromthe National Institutes of Healthfor biomedical research; andthe DuPont-winning alumnus isBoise TV reporter Jon Hanian.)

The point is, as the Bronco foot-ball team continues to play on thenational stage, the spotlight con-tinues to shine on the rest of BoiseState, which allows the universityto trumpet programs like CGISSand the debate team and peoplelike Hampiklan and Hanian to anaudience that extends far beyondIdaho and the Pacific Northwest.

The price tag for this unprec-edented national exposure?

"I could not afford to assemblea public relations and advertising

budget for this year that wouldgive us the coverage the footballteam has given us," said BoiseState President Bob Kustra. "If Iassembled that budget, the uni-versity would go broke trying topay for it. The football program,and the athletic program in gen-eral, is a window through whichwe can invite people from aroundthe country to look at our aca-demic programs and learn moreabout us. That's absolutely in-valuable."

A winning football program isnothing new at Boise State; theschool was a junior college jug-gernaut from 1947 through 1967and a perennial contender at theNCAA Division II and I-AA levelsuntil it joined the Division I ranksin 1996. But the accomplish-ments of coach Dan Hawkins'and his team - the nation's cur-rent longest winning streak (22games) and home winning streak(25), as well as a Western AthleticConference-record 26-game win-ning streak, three straight WACtitles, and just two losses in thelast three seasons - have deliv-ered extraordinary visibility toBSU.

ESPN's mid-major darlingFor example, when ESPN came

to Boise In September to broad-cast the Broncos' game againstBYU, part of the game-day pack-age was a segment on engineer-ing professor Michelle Sabick'sblomechanical research that re-corded the throwing motions ofBSU's quarterbacks. With a com-puter system that created three-dimensional skeletal images ofthe QBs, Sabick's work providedvisuals and a football angle thatwere tailor-made for ESPN, whichate it up. The day before the game,ESPN reporter Heather Cox andher camera crew visited Sabickin BSU's Biomechanics ResearchLab and shot their footage. Thenext night, during ESPN's livecoverage of the BYU-BSU game,the network ran its segment onSabick, and Cox, standing onthe sidelines" regaled millionsof viewers nationwide with thestory of the computer-animatedskeletons throwing a football.

When you combine the enter-tainment value of Boise State'shigh-scoring, risk-taking foot-ball team with Bronco Stadium'sunconventional blue turf andunique stories like Sablck's re-search and starting quarterbackJared Zabransky's potato-farm-ing background, which ESPN alsofeatured earlier this year, it isn'ttoo hard to understand Why BSUhas become the cable network'smid-major darling. Conversely,with six appearances this year(the Liberty Bowl will make' itseven) and a 15-0 overall recordon ESPN or ESPN2, Boise State'srelationship with the network

has provided the university withpriceless nationwide exposure.

Another financial benefit tothe football team's success, addsKustra, Is a heightened awarenessof other parts of the university,"Our donors have been reawak-ened to a new future at BoiseState," he said. "I hear over andover again [from donors and po-tential donors who say], 'I'd like

. to sit down and talk to you aboutwhat you're doing here: And it'snot just about football. Footballhas recaptured their attentionand recaptured their imagina-tion about the future of this insti-tution; many people have askedquestions about our academicside."

"Beyond the Blue"All this attention Is not lost on

those charged with promotingand raising funds for the univer-sity. Riding this wave of Broncopopularity, the university has em-barked on a publicity campaignthat Includes a series of promo-tions titled "Beyond the Blue:'a takeoff on the blue. turf thathighlights academics, the arts,guest speakers, faculty awardsand other points of pride at BoiseState. The campaign, says Kustra,is already beginning to pay divi-dends.

"Highlighting the work of someof our most accomplished fac-ulty has clearly caught the atten-tion and imagination of donors;they're now saying things like,'Well, I've given to athletics overthe year, I think it may be time forme to pony up even more to giveto academics as well: That's aw-fully encouraging for a presidentto hear."

While the publicity gener-ated by ESPN coverage and ar-ticles in Sports Illustrated, TheLos Angeles Times, The BostonGlobe, The New York Times andUSA Today - to name just a few

.of the publications that have cov-ered the Broncos in recent weeks- is hard to quantify in dollars,the financial figures from BoiseState's bookstore do reflect a ma-jor infusion of funding into theuniversity's coffers.

According to Kim Thomas,bookstore director, sales ofBronco apparel and merchandisehave skyrocketed this year - a76 percent increase in apparelpurchased and a 200 percent in-crease In online sales - com-pared to last year's record-settingsales figures. Last year the book-store contributed $752,000, or 7.5percent of Its sales - including$200,000 to the academic schol-arship endowment fund - to theuniversity. Based on sales figuresso far, Thomas expects the overallnumber for this year to be morethan $1 million.

Name recognition.To be sure, BSU's recent grid-

iron glory has led to more TV ex-posure, the potential for a largerand more generous pool of do-nors, and more T-shirt sales. Andthere's yet another major benefitto all these positive results, saysJason MacDonald, a BSU mar-keting professor who believes acollege's name recognition -whether or not it stems all or inpart from the success of its sportsteams - should not be underes-timated.

"From a recruiting standpoint,there are two ways to raise aware-ness: academics and athletics:'he said. "Academics isa longroad that literally takes decades,whereas athletics are more effec-tive and efficient. When I wouldgo to conferences I used to haveto explain where Idaho is. Nowpeople say, 'Wow, you're from -Boise State? What a great placethat looks like: I think the suc-cess of the football team tends totransfer to the university overall,which helps us attract better stu-dents. I mean, a biology studentdoesn't come here just for a biol-ogy degree. The college experl-ence and the atmosphere are allpart of an education, and for a lotof students, football is part ofthatatmosphere. It plays a role.

"In fact, I tell my students allthe time, if nobody has heard ofwhere you got your degree It pret-ty much has zlr~alue. If they'venever heard ofBSU~Gpe greatwayto get our name out tIICre is thefootball team. There are tons ofsmall colleges with great academ-lcs, but nobody has ever heard ofthem."

MacDonald acknowledges thatmuch has been said and writtenabout how college athletics havegotten out of hand and too muchemphasis is ptaced on football,but he doesn't place Boise Stateamong the college football be-hemoths that dominate the pollsand the headlines. At Boise State"it's not a zero-sum game:' hesaid. "One area is not taking awayfrom the other."

When he compares BoiseState to most of the other rankedteams in the nation, it's clear toMacDonald that Hawkins runs alean program that has done morewith less. "I read a report whereit said we are 9711. in the coun-try in football expenditures,"MacDonald said. "We're notMichigan or USC, both of whichspent more than $10 million onfootball; we spent about $2.25 or$2.5 million:'

It's all part of what makes theBoise State football team one ofthe best feel-good stories going.And why the rest of the universityis glad to ride its coattails.

Hawkins name has come upnumerous times all through-out the nation, as many lucra-tive coaching positions became

- available. One of the vacanciesstill open when Hawkins agreedto the extension was- at NotreDame. Hawkins did say that he

. would listen to talks from theuniversity, but there are no re-ports on whether or not therewere any.

"To see him turn down offersfrom people like Notre Dameand Stanford, places that wewas probably in the hunt for, it'shuge:' Colledge said. "I think itsets a standard that we're one ofthose upper-echelon teams."

The extension includes bo-nuses for the number of winsper season with a 5 percent of hisbase pay bonus for six or sevenwins, a 10percent bonus for eightor nine, and a 15 percent bonusfor ten or more victories.
