Peaceful protest breaks-leads to student arrestsProtesters allege police violence and lack of protocol
4
by Sean Hayesthe Arbiter
The nightly news coverage ofSept. 26 showed images
many associate with conflict-tornforeign countries - not theUnited States: policemen in riotgear, protesters wrestled to theground, and a young woman in atug-of-war between severalpolice officers. The demonstra-tion against the InternationalMonetary Fund and World Barik-began peacefully and ended withthe arrest of eighteen protesters,most of whom were students.
"It was a very peaceful demon-stration and we in no way showedany type of force or created anynegative energy at all," said par-ticipant and Boise State studentArielle Anderson. "The policeofficers were the ones that initiat-ed the violence."
Fliers advertising the "GlobalDay of Action" had been circulat-:ed on campus for several weeks.The flier charges that the
. International Monetary Fundand World Bank, which met thesame day. of the protest inPrague" enforces actions thatcause' the deaths of thousandseach day in third world nations.The protesters acted in solidaritywith, activists in Prague, as wellas Seattle, Portland and Los'Angeles.. 'We will not sit idly by while
big business destroys our earthand the lives of millions," the flier .proclaimed.
It is estimated that 120showed up for the protest down-
town. Participants said that themarch went without incidentuntil police charged that protest-ers blocked traffic on 6th andFront Streets.
Lt. Jim Tibbs of the BoisePolice' Department said protest-ers sat in the middle of the roadin peak downtown traffic andwere ordered to disperse. It wasat this point that the situationbegan to escalate. .
Tibbs explained that a consti-tutionally sound protest becomes"unlawful assembly," at the pointwhen protesters begin "to breakthe law."
Sam Mayfield, one of severalstudents arrested during themarch, said trouble began when,"I turned around and saw a waveof men in riot gear - shields,nightsticks, face masks - charg-ing the crowd." .
When she saw her friendJezreel Graham, a BSU graduatestudent, .manhandled by policeofficers, she .said she yelled out,"Let him go, you're hurting him."At this point, she said police offi-cers grabbed her, surrounded her'and threw her to the ground. Shesaid she believes an officer inten-tionally touched. her breast, andthat she had boot prints on herface and back. '
She was one of two partici-pants charged with, battery on apolice officer. Tibbs said' twoactivists were charged with bat-tery - one for allegedly slapping apolice officer.across the face, andanother for allegedly pushing apolice officer in the chest.Another participant was charged
with assault, for "swinging (apicket sign) in a threatening man-ner" against an officer, Tibbs said.
Scott Bonner, who was alsocharged with battery, offered hisversion of the scenario, in areport available on www.idaho-medi!\VrQject.org.
"This girl (Mayfield) weighedall of 110 pounds - she could eas-ily have been turned around andcuffed ... without much effort orharm to anyone," Bonner wrote.
He said while witnessing thespectacle, he touched the shoul-der of one police officer to helpMayfield. He said he was thentackled, punched, and held downon concrete by an officer's knee. '
Police Chief Don Pierce toldKTVB that Bonner's face washeld to the pavement so an officercould assess the threat posed byother protesters. Pierce was pres-ent on the scene and said he didnot witness any clear act of .0
police brutality. . ~Tibbs said that in a mob situa- ..c:
tion, confusion can be a threat to ,'public safety. "There can beinjuries on both sides. There canbepropertydamage,' he said.
Confusion, was a key point ofthe accounts of many protesters.Those arrested said that they didnot know what they-were arrest-ed for, did not receive Mirandarights, and were not clearlyordered to disperse before beingarrested.
"I had no idea why I wasarrested or what my chargeswere until probably two and ahalf hours after I got arrested,"said participant Rhiannon Stuck;who was charged with unlawful
::r assembly. .2. She said the police were;;. unnecessarily harsh in their treat-" ment of her and gave her no clear5' orders or directions.~ "They weren't listening tos::: anything I had to say. They were
'!!l forcefully pulling me and pushinge: me and squeezing me whereverrn they wanted me to go," Stuck
said.
Responsibility: Protesters whocalled for corporate responsibili-ty are now asking police to takeresponsibility for what they callunnecessary violence againstprotesters on Sept. 26.
Protester Damon Courtoiscriticized what he called the "nazi
. mentality" of officers on ithescene.
"We simply cannot expectpeople to respect law and order,until we teach thIS same respectto those we have entrusted toenforce these laws," he said.
Christina Van 'Winkle, it BSU·student who was arrested for thefirst time during tht rally forunlawful assembly, said she alsowas not read her rights and didnot know he: charges. She wasforced to strip in front of afemale police officer, and was ledto a cell in shackles. In the morn-ing, she learned that she hadspent the night in jail for a mis-demeanor.
BSU senior Carissa Sindon,was not arrested, but said shealso observed abrupt and brusquetreatment of protesters by thepolice.
"I saw basically that theywanted to throw people down,they wanted to use their forceand that's what they did," saidSindon.
BSU student Jessica Andrewssaid, "It makes me really mad thatI can't bring my, child to thingslike this because he might get
neow: 2000
hurt."In spite of the harrowing
arrest experience, Van Winklesaid it was ,worth it to 'get her
, message across. ''~I feel that, it's important for
. us individuals who know what'sgoing on out there r- whether ornot it's happening' in our ownbackyard - to use my freedomand privileges ... to say (IMF andWorld Bank policies) are notright," Van Winkle said.
Tibbs says he knew of oneallegation of police brutality atpress time, and that all com-plaints will be taken seriously.Those who feel their rights werenot honored in this or other situ-ations involving the police mayreport to the Internal Affairsdivision of the police departmentor the police Ombudsman.
At a press conference onTuesday, Oct. s, the protestersrequested a meeting with cityand police officials to discuss howthe police could non-violentlyhandle protesters in futuredemonstrations.

Campus news briefsCompiled by Arbiter staff
Student organizations seek faculty/staff advisers
The Office of Student Organizations in Student Union &. Activities is starting a new program to help student organiza-
tions find advisers.Called the "potential adviser roster," the program will compile a
list of faculty and staff members who do not currently advise stu-dent organizations, but might like to. In addition, current adviserswilling to advise more student organizations will be included.
Students often begin the process of putting together an organi-zation only to find the requirement of securing an adviser to be astumbling block. For example, the College Democrats and theACLU club are currently without advisers.
Faculty and staff members who are interested in being added tothe list of potential advisers are asked to e-mail [email protected] with their information and indicate the type of organiza-tions they are willing to advise.
For more information, contact Mike Esposito at 426-1590.

Ted Sorensendiscussesthe presidencyas a paradoxof powerat the 17thannualFrank ChurchConferenceon PublicAffairs,Sept.27. .
the Arbiter
The power of the president inmatters of foreign policyhas
diminished since the Cold War,said a former adviser toPresident John F. Kennedy at lastweek's .) 7th annual FrankChurch Conference on PublicAffairs.
Ted Sorensen, keynote speak-er at the conference 'said'future .presidents must reclaim powerover foreign policy despiteincreased congressional efforts todilute the President's influence.
President Charles Ruchopened the conference by statingthat this year's topic ThePresidency: Leadership and theParadox oj Power was fundamen-tally, "One of the most provoca-tive and important topics facingall of us as we look towards Nov.(elections)."
Sorensen spoke about theevolving nature of thePresidency's impact on foreignpolicy and the United States'influence on the world throughhistorical examples and moderncomparisons.
Sorensen's keynote speechwas told as a journey throughhistory. He said as a result of theCold War, Congress becamemore willing to grant the presi-dency power over foreign policy.
- But Sorensen said Congresshas sought to reclaim powerthrough appropriations anddirect limitations on thePresident's authority.
Sorensen said Congress has "practices are causing other coun-Claimedtoo much power and it is tries to isolate us."up to future presidents .to - On the means for changestrengthen their role in foreign . Sorensen said, "Funds are rarelypolicy. . _ denied for the ineans to fight wars,

Committee to decideacademic datesFive year calendar in the worksby Sean Hayes
the ArbIter
Ever wonder why schoolstarted this semester on a
Thursday, or why we go forev-er between Labor Day andThanksgiving fall semesterwithout a break?
The Calendar Committee atBSU mak~s the final decisionson the days school begins andends, when commencementswill be held and when to holdspring break. Vi~e Presidentof Student Affairs Peg Blakesays it is among the most gru-eling and challenging commit-tees she sits on.
Blake sought the input ofASBSU Senate last week, andpresented student leaderswith a list of guiding princi-ples the committee will use in
.determining the academic cal-.endar for the next five years.
Blake hopes to hold 75 classdays each semester, plus thefour days reserved for finalexams. BSU has in the pastskirted the issue, and countedthose four exam days as classdays. The State Board' ofEducation requires the 75standard, and while BSU hon-ors the letter of the law, thecommittee fears it does nothonor the intent. .
Secondly, the committeehopes to go with Thursday as
the day to begin classes eachsemester. While some stu-dents found it unusual thisAug. to have only two classdays then a weekend, Blakesaid that attendance those twodays was massive. Beginning
- Senators did havesome questions aboutthe proposed changes.
Sen. Trevor Irish haslong advocated a
"dead week," In whichno classes would beheld the week beforeexams. No plan has
been put forth to makethis change a reality.
on Thursday, she' said, willgive students a chance to fin-ish last-minute registrationissues early in the week and beready once classes begin.
To honor the so percent ofstudents with children, thecommittee will attempt toalign spring break with areapublic schools. Some senatorswanted the vacation to coin-cide with national springbreak events, but Blake says it
BSU is taking the first step toward streamlining and simplifyingthe registration process with a new test that could take the
whole process online. From Oct. 5 through Oct. 11, from 7 a.mto9 p.m., Enrollment Services will be conducting a test of the newsystem, BroncoWeb. When completed, the website will allow stu-dents to complete many of their own registration transactionsonline.. Enrollment Services will be mailing letters this week that willinclude a password, needed to complete the mock registration'process. Students are asked to complete a dummy registration form,then complete a survey. Those who complete theusability surveywill be eligible for prizes such as a laptop computer, a reserved park-ing permit and a $200 gift certificate to BSU bookstore.
While students may gain prizes from their participation, for BSUthe test serves valuable informational services.
"The information we'll receive from this test is vital to makingBroncoWeb a site that meets students' needs," said Mark Wheeler,Dean of Enrollment Services.
Vice President of Student Affairs Peg Blake says that she hopesto get the word out about the test to as many students as possible.It is vital that the administration knows how the website will han-dle a mass of students logging on at once.
If successful, according to Blake, the system could ideally be upby November, meaning this could be the last. semester students willhave to wait in a line from the Administration Building that snakespast the library. . .
"Everything will more or less depend on the test," said Blake.~"""""""""""~.~ ~;~~~~RlCAN AUTOPAINTING MAClilN1~ ·Oven Baked Finish S P k ~.~ "Thousands of Colors . '. uper. ac. .~~ Complete Paint Package S~ 'Ii. Regular $529.95 1

is difficult to align springbreaks with even local univer-sities, let alone at a nationallevel.
Winter break also may see achange. While currently thereare sometimes as many as fourweeks between semesters, theCalendar .'Committee nowhopes to hold no more than athree-week break betweensemesters.'
The last two guidelinesBlake proposes are a parity ofdays of the week per semester;for instance the same numberof Mondays as there areFridays. Also, commencementceremonies will be held onlyon Fridays or Saturdays.
Senators did have somequestions about the proposedchanges. Sen. Trevor Irish haslong advocated a "dead week,"in which no classes would beheld the week before exams.
.No plan has been put forth tomake this change a reality.

Two days before payday,ASBSU ·Senate finally·approvesexecutive staffappointrnentsby Sean Hayes
the Arbiter
Though ASBSU President Nate Peterson has the power to appoint. members to his staff while the Senate is out of session during the
summer, ASBSU Code specifies that the Senate must approve thesechoices when it resumes meetings in Sept. Last week, two days beforepayday,the Senate recessed to convene its Appointment and Reviewcommittee and officiallyapprove Peterson's .choices.
With only. a few days left before these executive staff memberswere to be paid, Appointment and Review Chair Mike Klinkhamerinsisted that he had not seen the applications until last week. Withnone of Peterson's cabinet members officiallycalled"before the com-mittee, the executive staff - many of whom had been working fornearly four months - were outraged to learn that the Senate could havedismissed them without a hearing so many months after they beganemployment.
While the first four appointees had their applicationscarefullyscru-tinized (the Personnel Selection Director survived with only threevotes) toward the end, the committee began approving choicesin quicksuccession, leading one member of the gallery to angrily questionSenate's "railroad schedule."The man said that Senate was not paid torush through their work, before storming out of the room.
Two members of the executive staff, Lobbyist Brook Smith andRecyclLrlgCoordinator Arielle Anderson also took turns berating theSenateJor.the lateness in approving staff members. Smith said that shehadjust put on a successfulvoter registration event, which is expectedto reach her goal of registering 1000 students. She was angered thatthe Senate "dare" challenge her job after she had organized such a suc-cessful event.
Peterson also challenged that the cominittee meeting was not "pro-ductive."·Klinkhamer, however, insisted that Senate was followingproper procedure, as outlined in the ASBSU Code.

Start With a Cicada and TakeAway AllReasoning and Accountability ••.
When spring rolls around (and it does), the cicadas emerge.What's a cicada? Glad you asked, or I imagined that you did, a
cicada is an insect that lives underground for roughly 13-17 yearsand, when making its way out, screeches like a banshee. The cica-da's mating call is so loud in the springtime that reporters lookingfor a spring feature story have reported on the obnoxious auditoryantics of this particular winged creature. Strangely enough, how-ever, the cicada may live underground for several years, but once ithas mated, it dies with weeks. So much for living out the dog-daysof summer in the prime of your teen years, these lively insects haveto stick to the cicada-days of spring. Cicada!
And now fOr your baffling scientific questions:
Q. Can I make a mummy? - WN.A. Scientifically it can be done. The secret ingredient for mum-
mification is natron, a compound that draws moisture out of theflesh. A body being prepped for mummification needs to remainabout two days covered in natron to make sure all water has beenremoved. The only problem with modern-day mummification arethose pesky laws that prohibit it.
Q. What is the largest T-Rex skeleton ever recovered? -MAA. The largest and most complete skeleton ever unearthed is Sue.
Discovered by paleontologists! Sue Hendrickson and Peter Larson,she does have a museum home after a lengthly legal battle. As forexact measurements of the skeleton, I can't tell you. You know howladies are about their weight.
Q. I heard about a robot that can mimic the movements of amonkey, is this true? - J.K. A. Yes it is. Brachiator III is said to move about like a gibbon(close to a monkey) on double-jointed arms, which are like two pen-dulums hooked together. Researchers at the University ofMichigan are credited for this amazing invention.
Q. Who created the Zip file? - M.T.A. The man credited with that achievement is Philip Katz. He
died this past year, on April 14 at the age of 37,
Q. How does gene therapy work? - N.R.A. The whole process is complicated, but a run-down of it
would include the following: The strands of DNA that medical sci-entists want to inject into the. patient are placed inside a carriervirus. The virus's only purpose is to take the new genetic informa-tion into a patient's cells.
Q. Is cloning a human illegal and did Ann Margaret break herface?-B.D.
A. The draft of a law prohibiting human was proposed withinthe last year by members of the Clinton Administration. Whetherit will be signed into law remains to be seen, and yes, Ann Margaretbroke her face after falling from a platform while performing in LasVegas. She has undergone several reconstructive surgeries. And bythe way, if you were thinking about Cloning her - don't

New grants to assist Hispanic studentsat schools with large ethnic populations
last six years (from 782,000 in1990 to about L3 million in1999). HSIs confer more than 50percent of bachelor degrees and45 percent of associate degreesto Hispanics as well as provideaccess to a large number of otherdisadvantaged students.
Funded under the Title V ofthe Higher EducationAmendments of 1998, the pro-grams aim to enhance the aca-demic offerings and programquality in most HSIs.

Other approacheswould be establishing communi-ty outreach programs with localsecondary and elementaryschools, as well as supporting fel-lowships, exchanges and otherfaculty development programs.

This summer an award of$25.8 million to fund 76 new
grants to Hispanic ServingInstitutions (HSI) was
, announced by U.S. Secretary ofEducation, Richard W. Riley.
HSIs. are universities or col-leges in which Hispanics
total 25 percent or more of thestudent population and at leasthalf of those students are low-income. About 195 two-and four-year colleges and universities aredesignated as HSIs and approxi-mately 40 percent of Hispanicundergraduates are enrolled inthese schools.
These grants will go for theimprovement of facilities,
academic programs and studentservices. Another $16.3 millionwill support continuation awardsto 39 additional HSIs.
"The goal is to increase thegraduation rates of Hispanics,"Riley noted in his speech at theawards ceremony. " These grantswill enable colleges that servelarge numbers of Hispanic anddisadvantaged students to offeran enriched academic experi-ence:"
of $383,500 will be used toincrease on-line academic courseofferings via distance learning.This will enable homebound,rural or otherwise isolated stu-dents who may not have access tothe traditional on-campus expe-rience to join the educational sys-tem.
By providing these grants toHSIs, the government is begin-ning to meet the educationalneeds of the burgeoningHispanic college-going popula-tion. By the year 2050, censusprojections indicate that nearlyone-quarter of the U.S. popula-tion will be Hispanic.
Vice President Al Gore saidduring a White House NationalDiscussion on HispanicEducation, "This program is partof a larger, overall effort to
. increase the achievement ofHispanic students at all levels ofeducation, from preschoolthrough college. Education canopen a new world of opportunityfor Hispanics and other minori-ties, and this administration iscommitted, through this pro-gram and others like it, to helpthose dreams become a reality.We must reduce the Hispanicdropout rate in America. And Iwill not rest until we do."
In the fiscal year 2001, theadministration has requested that$62.5 million for Title V gotoward serving a greater numberof Hispanic students attendingHSIs. .

Confederate flagburning at LSUignites studentresponseby Kristen Meyer
(U-WIRE) BATON ROUGE, La. - Temperatures rose lastWednesday, but the sun was not the only thing blazing in theQuad as a group of Louisiana State University students showedwhen it comes to the Confederate battle flag, they would ratherkeep it burning.
At approximately 12:30 p.m., four men entered the Quad fromthe side of Middleton Library, carrying a Confederate battle flagwith the words "Pride" and "Shame" spray-painted in yellowacross the front.
The men encouraged students to follow them to the fountainin front of Dodson Auditorium, where they cut the flag into fourstrips, doused each strip with lighter fluid and set them on fire, asthey stood on the rim of the fountain.
The men held the burning flag in the air, dropped it to theground, and then left the Quad, without saying a word or givinga reason. .
They later refused to provide their names or give a purpose forburning the flag, saying they will make a statement after they seestudent reactions. . .
. "We want to open the discussion," one man said.
. About 50 students gathered for the demonstration,. which theywatched with mixed reactions, Some clapped and cheered, whileothers just walked by.
"I know it's a statement that's been a long time COining and I'mglad they're doing it," said Adrienne Magendie, vice president ofthe College Democrats. .
SG's Student Senate decided last November to pass a bill sup-. porting the LSD administration's decision not to endorse a pur-
ple and gold Confederate flag.However, senators amended the original bill, which called for
the Senate to deny support for the flag, which many students saidthey considered controversial and offensive. Some said the Senatewatered down the bill.
'The South doesn't need a flag," he said. "They have a flag forAmerica."
Oscar Guidrj.'a vocal performance senior, agreed that the flagdoes not promote the good things about the South.
"I think it's pretty sad - all these years I've been sleepingwith my cousin. (The flag is) symbolizing my whole upbringingand what I was taught. It's a sad day for Louisiana," he said sar-castically.
Guidry said the protest probably reflected racial tension aboutthe Confederate flag. .
"Everybody really knows inside that it's a racist symbol," hesaid.

BSU volleyball dropstwo at homeby Josh Jordan
the Arbiter
The conference season forthe Boise State volleyball
team has started out slowly.The youthful Broncos droppedboth of their matches last weekas their record fell to 5-7, 1-3 inleague play.
Thursday, DC SantaBarbara brought the ninthranked team in the country fora match at Bronco gym. BoiseState started out slowly, fallingbehind 9-2. A late game surgebrought the squad within threeat 9-6 but a talented SantaBarbara team took advantage of
some late game mistakes by theBroncos to take game one 15-6.
Boise State appeared to grabthe momentum early in gametwo as Chera Sommer's acegave the Broncos a 5-4 lead.With the Goucho coach near-ing panic, Boise State battled totake a 12-11 lead. After tyingthe match at 12, the Gouchoswere able to pull out the highlycontested match 15-13.
Despite losing the first twogames Boise State realized theywere able to compete with theirnationally ranked opponentsand began game three withconfidence. Senior captain,Tara Brinkerhoff had two
explosive kills as the Broncospulled out to a 6-1 lead. Itappeared as if the 376 fanspacked into the small gymmight help their team pull outan unlikely upset. SantaBarbara called a time out, try-ing to shift the momentumback to their side. The tall, ath-letic squad came out of thebreak with new focus in theirgame. Boise State was a willingopponent in battling each andevery point, but the visitorsproved too much as they closedthe game with 14 unansweredpoints to win 15-6.
Saturday the old cozy gymplayed host to Cal Poly. This
NO\N Hiring! !.
California squad provided theBroncos with an evenlymatched opponent and the fiveset marathon proved this true.Boise State surged out of theblocks to take the first game 15-10. The fired-up squadappeared to have a slightadvantage as they took gametwo 15-11 behind the solid hit-ting of Katy Shepard.
Cal Poly went to the lockerroom for their post match breakon the brink of a conferenceloss. The coach must havegiven a hell of an inspirationalspeech as the visitors rolled ingame three 15-2.
Game four was a shoot-out.Both squads seemed to takemomentum as each capitalizedon the other's mistakes. Thewar came down 'to the wirebefore Cal Poly was able to pullit out, 15-13 and force a fifth anddeciding game.
Fired-up: Despite excellent.cov-erage by BSU. Cal Poly consis-tently dropped the ball intoBSU's court.

Bronco soccerteam becomesroad-wearyby Renae Hall
the Arbiter
On Wednesday, Sept. 28, the University of Utah sent theBroncos home with a defeat. This brought the Broncos
over-all record to 3-5-1.The blame to the loss is not going to errors, but just" to a phys-
ically run-down team. The Broncos had been on the road for thelast two games and were all starting to feel it as the ball was putinto play Sept. 28.
"We were just tired from being on the road, sleeping in hotelsand traveling on buses; the players were run down and sick," saidhead coach Steve Lucas. .
Within the first 35 minutes of play the Utes were up 2-0.Broncos then tried to take back momentum with a goal, but itwasn't enough. That was the only score of the game for the.Broncos. Utah went on to score two more goals during the gameand finalize their win with a score of 4-1.
"We played well at times, but we just weren't there," saidLucas. "We gave it away."
The game, however, was not all they lost on Wednesday. Theyalso lost a player who is out for a few weeks recovering from aconcussion.
Junior Brook Smith took what coaches think was a collision tothe head. She was flown home with Lucas and taken to the hos-pital. She is okay, but she will be out of play for two weeks, which' .are doctors' orders .
. This week the Broncos will focus on their up-coming gamesagainst UC-Irvine and Cal State Fullerton, both on the road.
Pete's Picks\ The Big West combined for a record of 1-3 last week as only
Idaho won. The Vandal win wasn't even against an I-A oppo-nent, but against I-AA Montana State. The Idaho victory inPullman, Wash. was a knockout as the Vandals beat the Bobcats 56-~ .
Arkansas State embarrassed the Big West with a I-AA loss toAtlantic-lO member Richmond 30-27.
Arkansas State will get rocked by Mississippi - North Texas willbeat Samford - Utah State will fall to in-state rival BYU - Armywill grab it's first win of the season against winless New MexicoState - Idaho will lose another big money game and fall to 2-4 onthe season.
Boise State returns to action this weekend after a bye last week.The Broncos spent the last week recovering from minor injures andpreparing for the Cougars of Washington State.
The Broncos have not beat WSU and look to gain some respectin the west with a victory over a Pac-l0 team: BSU will, open someeyes with a 51-17 smashing of Washington State.
The BSU-WSU game will not air live on KBCI Ch. 2 because ofPac-l0 regulations. The ~e will be tape delayed at 10:30 p.m.Saturday and will also be broadcast live on KBOI AM -670.

Former Boise Statewrestler finishes fifthat Olympic gamesby Lena Brainard
the Arbiter
Boise State' UniversityAlumni Charles Burton
wrestled for five years at BSUand has gone on to finish fifthat the Olympic games inSydney, Australia.
Burton came to wrestle atBoise State his freshman year,red-shirted his sophomoreyear and went on to finishthird at Nationals his senioryear in 1996. His collegecoach Mike Young said, 'Weknew he had a lot of potential,but it is hard to say if someoneis going to make the Olympicteam."
Burton won his firsttwo matches in Sydney. In thethird match he was ahead 2-1with 12 seconds left in hisquarterfinal match withMacedonia competitor,Mogamed Ibragimov. Burtonexposed his back to the mat,which cost him as-pointthrow down, givingIbragimov the win, 4-2.
"He had a mental mistake,"said Young. "They werealready in overtime. He wouldhave won if it would have'ended 12 seconds sooner. Ifinstead of exposing his backto the mat, he would havegone belly down it would haveonly cost him one point."
This .would have put theminto overtime and increasedBurton's chances at winning a
medal .. Burton received a for-feit in his scheduled fourthmatch, so he automatically gotfifth place.
It wasn't an easy battle forBurton, who wrestles in the187-pound weight class, tomake the Olympic team. Tosecure his spot he beat formerWorld Champion Les Gutches,winning the first and thirdmatch in the best-of-threequalifying series.
The future is unclearwhether Burton will try againfor a medal in the 2004Olympics in Greece. GregRandall, who also coachedBurton during his career atBSU said, "You can never tellif someone is going to beready in 4 years. Four years isa long time for wrestling, butCharles is only 26, he hasn'thad any serious injuries. Hecould make it in 4 years forsure."
Burton stayed around asixth year in Boise and volun-teered his coaching at BSU.He is currently coaching at the
.University of Indiana."It's been great to have had
. someone of Charles calibermake the Olympic team," saidYoung. "It's great for BoiseState, it's great for us."

Complying with T(tle IXby EvyAnn Neff
the Arbiter
The presence of women'ssports is often taken for
granted in today's society.However,' not so long agowomen were not respected fortheir athletic abilities and hadlittle opportunity to cultivatetheir athletic skills. Twenty-eight years ago, the world ofwomen's athletics hit thespringboard and jumped intoa new era that focused onequal opportunity forthe sexes, In 1972
the -U.S.government passed aneducation amendment calledTitle IX.
Title IX is· a prohibitionagainst discrimination whichrequires that "No person 'in theUnited States shall, on thebasis of sex, be excluded fromparticipation in, be denied thebenefits of, or be subjected todiscrimination under any edu-cation
program or activity receivingFederal financial assistance."
This means new regulationswhere intercollegiate athletics
. are concerned. According tothe U.S. Department ofEducation, Office of CivilRights, publicly funded collegesand universities have threebasic obligations they mustmeet in order to comply withTitle IX. These are:student
interests and abilities, ath-letic benefits and
opportu ni ties,
and financialassistance.
IE. Gonzalez,Ph.D. in theSocial ScienceResearch Centerat BSU directedthe "Survey ofWomen forInterest andAbility in SportsActivities" tohelp the univer-sity meet thefirst obligation ofTitle IX. Thesurvey was conducted springsemester 2000 and .surveyedwomen enrolled full time atBSU. 53 percent of the 786women that responded to thesurvey were interested or veryinterested. in participating inathletic sports activities. :' .
BSU 'offers .eightInter-:collegiate 'sports '!for.'women-basketball, VOlley-
ball, track and field" soc-cer, cross country run-ning, tennis, golf, andgymnastics. Accordingto the survey nearly 13
,percent,of .female. stu-dents at BSUwould beinterested m~d' havethe, libilitY,~ participate
in softball at the intercol-legiate level. SOftball fell
second only to .volley-ball.atIz percent, The
results shoW' ,'thatthe second'. most
. desiredmtercolle-giate:spori:· forwomen at BSU,
which is softball, isnot offered on its
campus. .Respondents to the survey ,
were also asked .to identifysports that they had participat-ed in while enrolled at BSU thatwere not sponsored by the uni-versity, and the top rankinganswer was softball, with a total'or 65 women participating inthe sport off campus.
The survey "suggests that ofthe sports not offered at BSU,
, students are interested in soft-ball." ,
The logical conclusion basedon the survey would, be to. addsoftball as the next women'ssport offered by BSU; thiswould also comply with thefirst obligation of Title IX.
The director of Athletics atBoise Statahowevendoes notagree. W~el1 -Gene meymaier .spoke to the ASBSD seriate lastmonth, he said that the-cost ofadding a w6men's softball teamwould be too expensive for theUniversity to afford.

i:'erate revenue, we know that."";, In an unofficial survey of a
class at BSU, 21 students wereasked various questions aboutintercollegiate sports. When-asked if they think intercolle-giate sports should aim to make
1a profit seven of the respon-dents said yes,12 said no, andtwo .were undecided. Asked ifthey believed that women'sintercollegiate sports could beprofitable, eight said yes, nine
said no, and four were undecid-ed.
The same students wereasked if they believe that BSUoffers an equitable amount ofwomen and men's fntercolle-giate sports. nine respondentssaid yes, 10 said no, and twowere undecided.
Bleymaier said the Athleticdepartment expects to add ski-ing this year to remain in com-pliance with Title IX.
"I don't think that BSU istrying for equality in offer-ing skiing as a new sport forwomen,"said 'Sen; JenniPlewa, 'They are trying tomeet the standards by doingas little as possible."
A .survey performed. bythe Social Science ResearchCenter suggests that offer-ing skiing as an intercolle-giate sport has an interestlevel of only five' percentcompared to the nearly ISpercent interest level for
, softball. The survey placedskiing eighth on the list, sixplaces below softball.
Sen. Mike Klinkhamersaid that the BSU AthleticDepartment is not takingstudents opinions intoaccount.
"Very seldom do theyactually listen to the' stu-dents, and the students arehelping to fund these sports.They make up their minds

Sen. Brooke IBaldwin said, "It is frustratingto listen to the athletics depart-ment administrators say there ~are a lot of women's sportsopportunities, especially whenthey base their decision foradding a woman's sport merelyon its cost." She added, "I thinkthey should add' softball. Thereare a lot of good players thatcould be on the team and itcould be prof-itable."
Some supporters ofwomen's sports say Title IXhas not yet given" women acompletely level playing field inintercollegiate athletics asmany schools are struggling tocomply with Title IX require-ments.

!wouldjust like to take a cou-ple of minutes to extend a
thank you to someone. I don'tknow this someone, but thatdoesn't matter, you know whoyou are anyway. I'm talkingabout the fine idividualwho, on
Friday, was riding merrily onhis little mini-scooter(or razoror skeeter or whatever the hellthey're called) and had a briefencounter with my younger sis-ter. I'd like to thank him forbumping into her from behindand causing her to fall to thepavement, never having seenwhat hit her. I also' want tothank him for the black eye,bruised hand, and bruisedknees that she acquired whenher body came into contactwith the concrete. She trulyenjoys all the looks she getsfrom other people who thinkthat her boyfriend is beatingher up. Most importantly,though, I'd like to thank thisperson for just getting back onhis mini-scooter and goingabout his merry way, becauselord knows there was no needfor him to help my sister up,apologize fur bumping into herfrom behind, and ask her if shewas OK. After all, the riders ofmini-scooters are obviously notrequired to show any courtesyfor other people or any regardfor their safety. It's clear thatmy sister shouldn't have beenon YOUR sidewalk, and that'sher fault, not yours. Thank you,whoever you are, for being themodel citizen that we all aspireto be, and pay no heed to myyounger sister's vowto cloth-sline every single mini-scooterrider she sees from now on. She ,just doesn't comprehend thatyou !ire superior to the lowly"pedestrians" and that youdeserve speci~l, treatment.Thank you for putting her inher place.

Greetings fellow students,As ASBSU president I
would like to report to you onthe current debates regardingparking as well as offer' somerecommendations' for alleviat-ing parking frustration.
At the last parking andtransportation meeting that Iattended, Sept.IB, the mostnotable issues debated regard-ing students were the locationof general parking and thenumber of general permitsissued on campus.
The question of opening thetop floor of the parking garagefor access by permit holderswas the first issue addressed. Itwas generally agreed upon thatit should be opened, but a dis-agreement exists on whether,
the permits should be reservedor general.
My contention is the topfloor should be general, ratherthan reserved, since students atthe parking committee meetingand the students I had talked toexpressed frustration with thedifficulty of finding generalpermit space.
A particular issue that Ibrought to the table was theaccess of general permit hold-ers to the parking lot adjacentto the childcarecenter. Thissummer I was approached bythree separate parents whoinformed me that the parkinglot closest to the childcare cen-ter had recently been convertedfrom general to reserved.
The committee informed methat the lot had been convertedafter being previously displacedby a visitor lot that was created

From the ASBSU PresidentDebate surrounds parking issue
behind the Student UnionBuilding.
I agree with the concept of avisitor lot 'behind the StudentUnion Building. What I do notagree with is the displacementof the general lot and hence thedenial of access by general per-mit holders, many of whom arestudents that have children inthe center.
My argument for bothissues is as follows. If generalparking permits are the pre-ferred choice of students, thenparking policy must reflect anemphasis on serving those stu-dents. Furthermore, untilholders of reserved permitsbegin attending parking com-mittees, it must be assumedthat there is no problem, hence,the committee must remedy the

Conservatives are thereal defenders offreedom of choice
College leftists love to throwaround the idea of freedom
of choice, claiming that theyare the ones defending people'rights. They quickly point tothe topic of abortion as theirexample. Yes,leftists maintain awoman's right to choose anabortion, but do they ever tellyou that many conservativesalso believe in this right tochoose? It is a fundamentalbelief of conservatives to getthe government out of our per-sonal lives. To many conserva-tives, abortion is somethingthat should be decided by indi-viduals, not government.However, the conservativemovement also recognizes thePreamble to the Constitutionwhich states that the purpose ofgovernment is to protect life,liberty, and the pursuit of hap-piness. The topic produces
M'uch has been made in thisyear's presidential cam-

VicePresident (and newly anointedfrontrunner) AI Gore has laid hisclaim to represent "the people,not the powerful."

Buchanan andRalph Nader claim that only theirstands can represent Americansin the faceof the Republicrat sys-tem.
Yetwho are "the people'? Anddo they vote?
Last month, the U.S. CensusBureau released its numbers onincome and poverty for 1999,which showed a median house-hold income of $40,816 and an11.8 percent poverty rate - thelowest numbers since before therecession of the early 1990s.Good figures, and importantaffirmation of the strong econo-

Taxes plague us all. conser-vatives push for across theboard tax cuts to allow everyAmerican the choice on how tospend their hard-earned money.Again, leftists consider this a"risky scheme." They claim thattax cuts would wreck the econ-omy. This outrageous claim islaughable. Our economy is

.. 'by C. Dale Slack III, Esq.
-'
Dear George W.I can't t~ank you enough for your recent campaign fundraising
letter.laudmg me f~r my patriotism, and calling me the "kind ofA~erIcan that [you ~e) .proud to have on your side." As a poli-scimajor and future politician, I have only one question: who exactlyi~ the kind of ,\merican you w.ould.not be proud to have on your~Ide?P.leaseadvise so I can aVOIdthis type m future business deal-mgs. Find enclosed a substantial check which I trust will move myname to the top of .the list for ambassador to Guam.
Yours Cordially,Dale Slack III, Esq.
Good. holy hell, it's another year divisible by four, so it's timeonce agam to pick who will be the political figurehead of our nationfor the nex~ fo~r-to-eight years. As the great prophet and politicalanalyst Am DIFranco once said, it's a choice between Tweedle-Dum~ and !~eedle-Dumber. As a decent, hard-working, patriotic'American CItIZenwho collects checks from T. Rowe Price everymonth, I vote Republican. Yes, it's true: I have never performed anhonest day's work in my life. In my mind, of course, this makes mebet~er than you-after all, I figured out how to beat the systemwhile you read the want ads and applied at businesses.
None of that is important, however, because the mainstream ofthis week's symposium is that we don't have much of a choice. Youc?n cast your vote for,A~Gore, a rich tobacco farming career politi-cian who kowtows to bIg government and business while praisingthe lower-mi.ddle class and environmentalism; or vote for George
,W. Bush, a rich fo~mer Skull-and-Bones member career politicianwho ko~tows to bIg govern~ent and business while praising thelower-middle class and education (sometimes).
Now I: hear all of my intellectual readers crying "but cazart,Dale, you ve forgotten Ralph Nader, the Green-party candidate.'"Yes I have, and .so have the v.as~majority of the American public.You se~, dear fhe~ds, the majority of the voting public think thatthe votmg boo~h ISac~ually the betting window at Les Bois-theyare meant to pick a winner, not who they actually think will be agood leader (ho~ els~ ~ould you explain Helen Chenoweth).
ANYHOW (I m limited to about 500 words this year, so I haveto keep it shor9, w.hile,!n past ye~s I would say wholeheartedlyan~ Without hesitation, vote for [insert Republican's name here].ThIS year, however, I don'~ have to worry.

Being conservative meansadhering to the immortal wordsof Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.who courageously proposedthat we judge people on thecontent of their character andnot the' color of their skin.These hyphenated identitiescompound the .problems ofracism by labeling peopleaccording to their skin color.We conservatives believe thatwe are all of one nation andthat we are all Americans. Wewould much rather see a personcalled successful rather than becalled by an inherently racistmoniker.
But what about freedom ofspeech? Leftists love to claimthat they worship this constitu-tionally protected right.Perhaps someone from the leftcould explain then what all ofthe controversy about Dr.Laura Schlessinger was about.Here is a conservative femaletalk-show host that reaches mil-lions of fans daily. She speaksout against the homosexuallifestyle and suddenly these left-ist groups, protectors of freespeech, tried to censor her andget her show pulled off the air.It quickly became apparent thatleftists defend the right tospeech as long as they are doingthe talking:
driven by consumer spending,How is it that the economywould be wrecked if consumersare given more of their moneyto spend? Again, it becomesapparent that leftists don't'believe in allowing peoplechoice in anything.
Left wing political correct-ness stifles freedom of speechand freedom of thought
Leftists have thrust upon usthe demon of political correct-ness and multi-culturalism.Lesligh Owen describes thetoxic venom of political cor-rectness as "a bite on the neck,(the) p~ogressive messagestings initially but soon spreadsthroughout the system, trans-forming political apathy into anever-ending quest to learn anddo more." Let's examine whatthis so-called "progressive mes-sage" translates into.
One of the first things thePC crowd did was give every-one hyphenated identities likeAfrican-American, Native-American, Asian-American,Mexican-American and so on.This was done to showcase how
, sensitive white people can be topersons of color. Thesehyphenated identities were alsosupposed to bring us closertogether as a nation.Unfortunately, it has done just Conservatives put faith inthe opposite: We conservatives ,people,.not governmentnotice 'one commonalitybetween all of these hyphenat-ed identities, that is, they all endin American. Aren't all U.S. cit-izens Americans? Why shouldwe be ashamed to unite underone identity? Furthermore,these hyphenated callings arefull of confusion. A white per-son from South Africa; in allreality, is an African-American.What would the leftist reactionbe if the white landowners whoare being killed in Africa issueda statement imploring African-Americans to help their Africanbrothers and defend themagainst such savage attacks?
Did the PC crowd everexamine what it means to beNative-American? I'm Native-American and white. See, I wasborn on American soil, as wereboth of my parents, and bothsets of grandparents and great-grandparents. In fact, one must -search back close to SOO yearsto find a relative of mine thatwas born off of U.S. soil. I'm asNative-American as they get

, The final ideas to be present-ed is conservatives profoundbelief that people are best suit-ed to manage their own affairsfree from government interfer-ence. Every law passedencroaches upon the liberty ofthe individual. Conservativeswere the first to believe that allAmericans, regardles~ of skincolor, should have the libertiesand freedoms to better their lotin life. Leftists will argue, butwe all know that it wasAbraham Lincoln that abol-ished slavery. Conservatives arethe party of Lincoln. Anotherexample of conservatives put-ting faith in all people, andbelieving in equal opportunityfor all lies in the 1964 CivilRights Act Yes, leftist LBJ waspresident, yet he admonishedhis party for their reluctance topass the bill. However, 84 per-cent of Republicans voted infavor of the 1964 Civil RightsAct compared to only 62 per-cent of the democrats (who
held the majority in both hous-es). And yes, AI Gore Sr. didindeed,vote against it.
Leftists believe that all goodthings stem from government.The bigger the government thebetter. They believe that peopleare too stupid to manage theirown affairs. The left puts forthan agenda of confiscation andredistribution. The left is anti-family. It was Hillary RodhamClinton herself who said,"Decisions about motherhood,schooling, treatment of venere-al disease, or employment, orothers where the decision orlack of one will affect a child'sfuture should not be made bythe parents." Of course, Hillaryalso proclaimed it "(a) myth, orperhaps more accurately, theprejudice, the each familyshould be self-sufficient."
This is in stark contrast towhat conservatives believe. Weconservatives try to advancethe idea of individualism.Conservatives believe the fami-ly to be the best teacher of ourchildren. Conservatives believein the right of individuals toactively pursue their dreamsfree from government interfer-ence. Conservatives believe thatpeople can best choose how tospend their hard earned money.Conservatives believe in theprincipals put forward byJefferson, Lincoln, and Reagan.Being a conservative seems to
. put you in the company withgreat people from history.
With all this being said" theleft will still try to brainwashour intelligent youth as theyenter college. But the youth aresmarter than what the leftthinks. The youth have onequestion that the left can'tanswer, and here it is: If thepolicies of the left are so good,why haven't all the world'sproblems such as the growingozone hole, homelessness, unin-sured children, and racism goneaway during the last • years? Infact, the problems with theozone hole and uninsured chil-dren have progressively gottenworse over the last eight yearsof the left's favorite President..Strange. I was brainwashedthinking that the left madeeverything better. Thanksgoodness for-Conservatism; fornow I see the light.

Clubs bring good fun to lifeby Scott Huntsman andAaron Kiefer
It'scommon knowledge thatin order to get the most out
of your BSU experience, youmust join as many clubs as pos-sible. Of course, BSU offers a~ide array of clubs for all sortsof interests. Lately, though,people have been confronting ,us saying things like, "HeyKiefer, I'd really like to join aclub. Any ideas?" or "Scott,you're the sexiest thing oncampus. What clubs are you. ?".m.·
Since most of you aren'tfamiliar with many of the clubson campus, here are five thatyou may not have heard of. Ifyou're looking for some goodcampus fun, look into joiningany or all of them.
#5 - If you're one of thoseguys who spends two and halfhours dressing for school, you
should think about joining theN Sync Club. This group iscomprised of men who havebleached blonde hair and wearnothing but Tommy Hilfiger,Abercrombie, and Nautica. Attheir weekly meetings, the boysdiscuss the proper way to weara visor and what three songs toplay continuously-for the threehour Friday -night cruise. Ifyou're interested in joining,meet them at Bogie's thisSaturday night at 11 p.m.BONUS: New members get infree to the guest lecture byJustin Timberlake on how toget Natural Ice beer stains outof your Old Navy Tech Vest.
#4 - BSU Truck DrivingClub. Enough said.
#3 - The largest club oncampus happens to .be the rivalof the N Sync club. Of course,we' speak of the Non-Traditional Student Alliance.
Anyone can join, although ithelps to be a recently divorcedformer housewife whose kidsare at home doing drugs.'Common topics of discussioninclude raising your hand at themost inappropriate times to tellthe young 'uns about yourVietnam ordeal" and "ways toconvince traditional studentsthat you were smart enough togo to college the first time,"Meetings are held right afterthe Meridian School DistrictP.T.A. meetings in the MaryMacPherson Elementary gym-nasium. BONUS: New mem-bers get a pamphlet with tenreasons going back to collegeat 65 is good investment.
#2 - Everyone loves thosewacky guys over at the RolePlaying and Ganiing Club.They recently spent ;j;2000 ofBSU money (that's your tuitionmoney) to buy the most recentversion of Dungeons and
Dragons and a couple of JohnCougar Mellencamp posters fortheir dungeon in the president'smom's basement. If you're intospending your financial aidcheck on Magic cards andtrench coats, this club may befor you. These guys also havethe notoriety of being the onlyguys on campus who get less,action from girls than us. HitPolo's on Fairview for weeklymeetings. BONUS: Half offvirtual reality.
#1 - It may surprise you tofind out what the best club oncampus is. Perhaps we're biasedsince we're both actual mem-bers and through some freak ofnature, Scott is vice president. .Theater Majors' Associationis committed to throwing ahuge (non-club sanctioned)party every Friday night sowe're incredibly hung over forTwelfth Night rehearsalSaturday morning. 'If you're.
lucky enough to come to aTMA (non-sanctioned) party,we guarantee at least three top-less drunk chicks. Oh yeah,Theater Majors Associationalso promotes acting and othertheater stuff. BONUS: First-time members get to hang outwith us.
Don't wait! Get out thereand get involved. It doesn'tmatter which wacky club youjoin, any of them are sure togive. your pitiful life somedegree of meaning. BONUS:Some clubs look good onresumes.

general permit holders'demands first.
My underlying premise is asfollows. Students are the .solereason this university is here,not faculty, and not the admin-istration. Simply put, take awaythe demand and you have nosupply.
This year Boise StateUniversity will sell an unlimit-ed number of general permits.Students have purchased 85-90percent of these permits.
If the administration is totake a business approach toeducation and consider the stu-dent a customer or consumer,then customer and consumersatisfaction must _.be readilyaddressed.
In the tradition of progressat Boise State University, I havefour recommendations for theparking committee.
First, meetings must andshould continue to be held in anopen and inclusive environ-
.~.
ment that allows students 'tovoice their concerns. The'ASBSU Forum is an ideal venuedue to its accessibility withinthe Student Union Buildingand gallery seating for students,faculty, and staff to observe andcomment.
Second, meetings and theproposed agendas must beadvertised in advance. Full andcomplete disclosure prior tomeetings will give students,faculty, and staff complete andnecessary information withregard to potential decisions inparking policy.
Third, members of the com-mittee voiced an opinion that anew structure or format mightneed .to be- created to limitgallery comments and speed upthe meeting.
My, response was, and is,that ,the Parking andTransportation Committeemeeting had been operatingbehind closed doors for toolong. Student frustration and
animosity towards parking wasnever properly communicatedto members of the university,Sure, there were members ofASBSU present at the meeting,but I myself do not believe Ican represent all of the opin-Ions of 16,000 students.
Fellow students at BoiseState University, if you have anadamant opinion on the issue ofcreating more general parkingon campus, or for close access tothe child's care center or theparking garage, please attendthe next meeting Monday, Oct.16, in the ASBSU Forum.

the New York Times, "the poor have coped alone."At one level,you can hardly blame the major party candidates. The
shoppers, the commuters, the high-tech employees and yes, the soccermoms - they are registered voters, likelyto vote but unsure for whom.They may be fickle, but they have influence too; not' quite like theAARP and its waving fields of gray, but a powerful constituencynonetheless. It's why Medicare, prescription drug importation andincome-tax credits fill the candidates' speeches, even when they areheld in school auditoriums and on city streets.
At another level, however, you can hardly excuse the candidates.Understanding who "the people" are may be a Rorschach test ofAmerican social thought, but it is unfeeling and immoral not to includethe needs of _the nation's poorest in your plans. Policies that could helpthose at the margin include a rise in the minimum wage to a livablestandard; guarantees of. safety for their children and of a quality edu-cation; a reform of the penal system and its rehabilitation programs;and support for families,whether in helping them retain a family farmor reunite with relatives wishing to immigrate here.
Sure, the people to whom the candidates talk, who opine on privateinvestment of SocialSecurity funds and consider taking public funds topay the localprivate school tuition, will vote in November and willlike-ly decide the contest's outcome. But wouldn't we be prouder as a nationif the peoplewho languish at the base of our society would be the focusof such attention?

Give thanks because ,everyonce and a while we are blessedwith a performance that is inno-vative, invigorating, and intelli-gent. The National Theatre ofthe Deaf performed' HenrikIbsen's Peer' Gynt at Albertson(oops) College's Jewett .Auditorium. Now it is importantto note right off the bat that thisis a company 2Land not fur thedeaf: most emphatically, this is
. not a company of actors who aremerely "signing their waythrough" a performance. Thisain't no dog and pony show forhappy benefactors to view and"appreciate" how far the deafhave come. Rather, The NationalTheatre of the Deaf, or NTD,incorporates both American SignLanguage and English into theirrepertory; the result is an inte-grated performance that is bothexperimental and authentic.
NTD created a very simpleset .constructed with whatappeared to be type of PVC pipeand a few boards to section offand create a feeling of. different .space. From the moment thecurtain raised it was clear. thatpriory was not to demonstrate .how far these "poor deaf boyshave come", but to speak inanother, more powerful voice.
Some explanation of how thisis accomplished this is in order.In Peer Gynt, the title character,in what can only be termed as an
3& ,'2000
existentially rage full moment,chops down a tree. The visualaspect of this scene was createdwith actors using their ownlimbs and attaching them to theset to portray the limbs of thetree. Forming a type of humanpyramid in representation of thetree. Inside the "tree" actor PaulSavas (who was Peer's speaking
,part) was a limb: Leigh whoplayed the signing part, chopsdown the tree, and the actors fallto the ground; chopper andchopped meld into one. Theresult is an echo effect, that ofaggression and self-loathing,infliction and self-infliction,agency and powerlessness; byrefracting the confines of theunitary character, they not onlydemonstrate the psychologicalaspects of -.character. As Peernotches his way into the "tree,"he draws the audience in. (Axhandle in hand-a "gripping per-formance")
As the show progressed and Ibecame emotionally involved inthe struggles of Peer a feelinglike I was traveling with himacross, the world selling slaves,finding wealth with a magical'horse, enticed by Ii beautiful andsmart woman (Fuck Barbie) Iwas pulled into that world. I hadleft my seat and felt I was reallyapart of the performance. Such anovel Idea for theatre. As I wasexperiencing a hate and loverela-tionship (Pat says I am not out ofcharacter here) with Peer. I wasrocked out of that world by abelting scream from the signingPeer (who by the way,off stage isan amazing lip reader and a mas-ter of accents). With thatscream the lingering of a
