The fatigue, isolation. tight quarters and long shifts on shuttle flights cause stress, Pyle said, which is rhought ro sup­press the immune system.

Carla Amerson, a non traditional age student from MSU - Billings spoke of her "lifelong dream to

become a teacher." How­ever, she waited 25 years before she starred her edu­cation, which was com­pounded by her raising l biological and 2 foster cbil-

dren. peaking of her fel­low tudents, of traditional and non uaditional age, she said, "we represent the future of this state. I want the opportunity to stay in my home state and teach." She said that college should not be exclusively for a higher economic class. "For all people, col­lege should be possible."

Rhonda Butler, a 35 year old mother of 4 from MSU -Billings also testified on her struggle to earn her degree. "Many view higher ec.lucation as a luxury, but I view it as a

tool for survival. Costs rise, tuitions ri e, but emplo)­ment doesn't." Sl\e will graduate this spring with over $30.000 in student debt, she said. "I will pay more for my education than I will for the home that I live in. "

Alexis (J rben iak, a 19 year old student told the commit­tee that much of her aid is based on her parent's income, \\ hich means she must make up what her parents don't give her on her own. "Lately, I've been eating a lot of top ramen. Looking at two or three years of top ramen is now turning

into six or seven." President Gamble closed

the testimony by saying they "did nor want to deny any student an education... He also relayed his personal cam­paign to raise over 10 million in private fund exclusively for student scholarships.

The committee toured the M U campus last week. They will tour the University of i\lontana - Missoula campus on Tuesday and hear testi­mony Wednesday. They are scheduled to \'Ote on their rec­ommendation to both houses of the legislature on Friday.

J\lonrana lawmakers have been faced with the opportunity to enforce prllllary seatbelt legislation ruice before, and both times it has failed. This year, however, pro­ponents of the bill are more optimistic. ~'ith the sudden crack down on driving regula­tions, the seatbelt legislation is likely to pass.

But despite the apparent simplicity in this is ue, seatbelt la\\'s are not black and white. It has become a trend in America for mmp<1SSionate minded otizens to support <111) legisl<lnon that professes to S<lve li\'es despite the effecrs those b\\'s might h<l\'e on our con­srinnion,tl nghts ;md inherent freedoms.

Yes, regulations enforcing seatbelt wear ing will S•l\·e hes, but so would mam other la\\'s remicting rhe libert\ of an indi, idual. for example. it \\'Ould be ~qually logical and lifesa\·ing to enforce regulations on fast food. dangerous sports, or sexual practices.

Bobcats get stung by Hornets Thursday evenin~ Michael Hicks

Fueled by a swarming defen e and Cllll taniling shooting, the , ac­ramen co 't•He I fornet. upset the Mornm1.1 Stare Bobcats T!.-66. A sluggish first half, both offensh·cly <md defensively. lefc the Bobcats in too deep of <l hole.

Both reams got off co a bor srarr shooting, with the Cats trail­ing 13-10 after U\'C nlinutc of pla). As rhe firsr half progressed, the Cars offense tapered off ,,·bile the Hornets contmued to singe the ners. The Homers \\'ere on fire from the field the entire game. shooting a scintillating 61 percent for the night. Brandon Gu\'ton led the charge early \\-ith three bombs from downtown.

On the offensi,·e end. the Cats failed to \\'Ork the ball inside. The Hornets defense played a tight man-to-man cciverage. forcing the Cats into a perimeter passing game. J\ISL failed t0 move ef­fecti,·el) without the ball. mini­mizing opportunities for open baskets. \\'ith 5:36 t0 go in rhe first half. the I forncts had built up their biggest lead of the game. 38-20. The final fi\'e mi.nmes sa\\' the Cats defense trghten up and slo\\'ly close the gap, but a ac­ramenro tate dunk ar rhe buzzer squashed anv possible momen­tum. The Hornets le.id at half­time was -0-30.

Bo Segeberg goes up for a sf wt during Saturday night': game against the North Arizo11aLumberja Tlze Bobcats we11t on to defeat the Lumberjacks 80 to 66, after suffering a tough loss agm Sacramento State 011 Thursday Hight.

Recovered 'Cats sink claws into Lumberjack

Two nigh ts after suffering a bitter defeat to Sacramento

rate, the Montana State Bob­cats redeemed themselves with an 80-66 victory over the Northern Arizona Lumber­jacks.

M U attacked inside early and often with the help of Casey Reynolds, Bo Segeberg, and Shea Washington. As rhe half progressed, the Jacks also began to heat up, finding their points from beyond the three-point arc. The MSU de­fense became too relaxed ar times, playing off rhe Jacks jusr enough to free them open

for good looks. With 11:5-i to go in the game, theCatsleadwas trimmed to 18-15.

But as the game went on, the lead only grew for the Bobcats, as everyone got in­volved with the offense. Frank Brown provided an en ­ergetic spark with his great hustle and lightning quick speed. Brown's quickness en­abled him to come down with eight rebounds for the game (tying him with Reynolds and Washington). Reynolds con ­tinued to score, finding his points inside and out. The Lumberjacks struggled defen ­sively, allowing the Bobcats to get easy looks in the paint and from downtown. The one bright spot for NAU came in

rhe formidable inside pres­ence of R) an McDade. McDade wa able to ger to the hoop effortlessly at time , re­sulting in tb ree first half dunks, two of which came during consecutive trips down che floor. Despite the high ­light material from McDade, NAU could not keep up with rhe Cats' production; as a resulr they rrai.led 47-28 at the half.

The second half followed a similar scripr to that of the first. with the Bobcats continuining to score points Crom all areas of the Ooor. The Lumberjacks did be­come more aggrcssi,·e on the of­fen ive end, as rephen Garnett got into the action. But whenever the Jacks appeared to be on the verge of mounting a comeback,

the Bobcats were able to find that one basket ro stop the momen­tum. \Xlashington took the game over in the second half, getting easy points near the hoop and to ome surprise, from three-point

land. Along \\-ith Brown's quick­ness and Calvin Ento's toughness. the Bobcats were able tO obtain valuable producrion from rhe bench.

Down the stretch. the Car were able to come up "ith enough points and defensi\'e stop ro ensure rhar the _J,1cks never closed within ten pornr . As the contest Cttme ro an end. the Bobcats continued to find scoring Crom various players, in­cludi11gJ ason Erickson, \\'ho W•lS

Museum officials unveil restored Rosa Parks bt K[)ssociated Press

When the Montgomer) bus boycott ended, then 20-year-old Jesse Daniels put on his best dress shirr, suit and tie, took a sear ar the front of a city bus and rode to a restaurant where he had previously not been allowed to ear.

Frida) night, Daniels. again in suit and rie, joined about 300 members and em ­ployees of the J-Ienr) Ford Museum to get a look at where historians say it all be­gan _ rhe Montgomery. Ala ., city bus on which Rosa Parks refused to gi'e up her seat to a white man.

After nearly five months of resrora rion , the once-de­crepit bus was unveiled, reha­bilitated ro look as it did on the Jay of Parks' defiant act.

With "Cleveland treer " listed on its destina tion plac­ard, the white, green and mustard-colored bus was

rolled onro rhe museum floor as the Black National An ­them, "Lift Every Voice and

"Our bodies deserve the best care possible,'' sa} Paul. "fortwlately, it's ea5} co gi\'e your body the nutrition and physical activity it craves - any­time, anywhere. From early morning to late at night, all ic cakes are small, simple d1anges in your C\'eryday food and fitness moices."

Making healthful food moices is mum easier than you thought There's no need to follow a complicated di.et, to COW1tevery calorie or to avoid your favorite foods. Even better, it's easy co eat healthfully anytinie of day any­where you decide to eat. Why make healthier food moices every day?

Enjoy great taste and good health in every bite you cake. Boost your brainpower for learning, working and playing. Energize your body and mind for all the things you want to do. En­hance your health from head co toe, on the inside and the outside. Protect your whole body: heart, bones, muscles, eyes, skin and more!

Your best bets are: Fruits & veg­etables (fresh, frozen, canned and

dried): 5-9 servings a day. Whole grains (breads, cereals, rice, pasta and snacks): 3+ SCf\ings a day. Low-fat dairy foods (1 % or less milk, yogurt and meese): 2-3 servings a da}. Le­gun1es & plant proteins (beans, peas, nuts and seeds): 1- 2 servings a <lay. Lean animal proteins (Meat, poultry, fish and eggs): 2-3 servings a day.

Eat early: tart every day ,vith a protein, a whole grain and a piece of fruit. Snack regularly: Include a pro­tein for maximuni satisfaction and lasting energy. Select bright colors: Pick colorful fruits and vegetables to fill half your plate. Go for lean: Choose lean meats and skinless poul­try to minimize your saturated fat. Choose crunmy: Go for grains, nuts and veggies to punip up your fiber.

The Seven C's of Successful Change: Taking marge of your health and your life Many of us want to

make manges i.n our habits. Some­tin1es it's a ew Year's resolution; sometimes it's advice from the doc­tor. 'V<'ewanc to eat better and be more

active, but we don't al\\'ays know how to make die necessary changes. Tak­ing some time to consider dicse seven "C's" of mange may help you under­stand how to get from where you are now - to where you want to be.
