. mistry research lab and is planning on renovat­J:..tudent Union Building, MSU President Geoff

•Jlrlieves the $6-$8 million the new center will cost

ffort to increase diversity on campus, MSU will

build the center in hopes to enroll more Native American students, Gamble said.

"We have a five-year plan to increase diversity on cam­pus, especially with Native American students and staff," said Gamble. "The current space is very small and as the student population grows, they will need more space. I think the new center will have some very positive, benefi­cial impacts for the school and its students."

After last semester's vandalism of the tepee behind Wilson Hall, there has been more pressure on the school to support diversity, though Gamble says the decision to create a new center was not based on the vandalism.

" I don' t think the vandalism plays a huge factor in this,

but it is something we need to pay attention to on campus," he said.

The new center will be an expanded version of the current center complete with a computer area, a seminar room, a gathering room, a tutorial center, and an office for the Native American studies advisor. And while it's a center for Native Americans, other groups on campus may have the opportunity to use some of its facilities.

Henrietta Mann, a Native American studies professor and a member of the committee plan ning the center, believes the new area will improve MSU in a number of ways.

Now is the time to review your spending plan. Remember the three important things:

Plan : Set financial goals; make realistic decisions and estimates of expenditure categories.

Track: Keep accurate, up to date records to track spending habits to forsee potential overspending.

Evaluate: Evaluate your plan often, comparing actua l with planned expenses. Your plan must be flexible and help you meet your goals, NOT make you miserable.

Bush tirade was about as sur­prising as finding out Pamela Anderson has had plastic surgery.

What was most disappoint­ing is that this was a course I had gone mto with lukewarm expec­tations, since I was only taking it as a requirement, but have since become enthused and excited about the subject matter. Now, my enthusiasm for a subject I believe I would enjoy very much is going to be tainted by the daily dose of personal vitriol and politics. But I'm sure I'm not the only one los­ing respect for my educators for their lack of professionalism.

According to a recent An1erican Council of Trustees and Alumni study, in the first poll of

its kind taken at the 50 top college campuses nationwide, 49 percent of students said professors "fre­quently comment on politics in cla s even though it has nothing to do with the course." Forty­eight percent said some "presen­tations on political issues seem totally one-sided;' and 46 percent said "professors use the classroom to present their personal political views." So, maybe it's not just me.

But what, exactly, you may ask, are the harms of such an environ­ment? Mark Bauerlein, an English professor at Emory University and director of research at the National Endowment for the Arts has said, "Any political posi­tion that dominates an institu-

tion without dissent deteriorates into smugness, complacency, and blindness. Groupthink" is an anti­intellectual condition."

What may be the worst con­sequence of this all is that half the classroom erupts into laughter at every smug remark made by pro­fessors. The other half is counting the minutes until they graduate and get the hell out of there. But would they be laughing as hard if the teacher had made a racial joke or a sexist remark?

Of course not. But when it's a belief in a higher power, a vote for the wrong political candidate, or any other non-socialist, conserva­tive tenant,you're the butt of half of the room's joke. Oddly enough,

these students who spend all of class feeling uncomfortable don't tend to ask as many questions, or challenge the teacher's assump­tions, much less visit the teacher outside of class for help.

I beg all professors at this university to be aware that there is a world outside your snow globe. \'\Then you digress to mak­ing needless political attacks, you lose not only the respect of many of your students, but reveal your own in ecurities, giving up a bit of dignity in the process. We, as students, want to learn what you have to teach us, and by imparting your knowledge in those subject areas, you can display your true intelligence and character.

' friendly and unabashedly •tlung demeanor, foreign citi­L from around the globe have

ed the American mentality ense one. his isn't entirelv fair.

• 1carn, .iren't stupid. It's ·~ssible to brand an entire

n "ith an adjective or two. eYer, as Americans, we are -tivelv detining ourselves as le and na·ive, and there's no

sign that it's going to get better any time soon.

Probably the most decisive contributing factor is how the rest of the world views our politi­cal beliefs, and what they see as unbridled support for question­able foreign policies. But what exactly is the goal of our foreign policy under the Bush administra­tion? In Bush's own words, "Our goal is to help others find their own voice, attain their own free­dom and make their own way."

This quote comes from what Bush himself calls his "freedom speech;' given last Thursday in honor of his second inauguration to the office of the presidency.

The words "freedom, free" and " liberty" appeared 49 times in the 17-minute speech, making per­fectly clear that Bush loves him some freedom.

But what the hell does that mean? Our President, and seem­ingly every other member of his cabinet, throws the word "free­dom" around like a crouton in a tossed salad. But they never expound upon the idea. Just once I'd like to here President Bush define freedom or, even better, try to lay out the goals of his for­eign policy without resorting to Orwellian terms and attempting to appeal to superficial emotions with shallow buzzwords.

"There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant," Bush stated in his second inaugural address, "and that is the force of human freedom."

l'm sorry, George, but that doesn't mean anything. Not a damn thing. Tyranny is bad, free­dom is good - we get it - but can somebody please explain to me how this is going to be accom­plished? Maybe Bush will help clear things up in his next sen­tence.

"We are led, by events, and

common sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the suc­cess of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world."

OK, that didn't help at all. You can hear the word freedom in a Bush speech more than screams at an' Sync concert. But that tells us nothing. We are told that free­dom is good and everyone should have it, but that's all we know. ot once is it even remotely hinted at as to what that entails.

Social Security Crisis Needs to Be Addressed Head ...... TYLER CEGLER

E'< PON "IT WRITER

No" that President Bush has been sworn in for his second term, it is time to turn from the politi­cal horse race of campaigning to the actu,ll policy-maJ..rng of ,rn instituted administration. \\'hilc we were all aware that President Bush had an ambitious second­term agenda, he made that agenda even clearer during his inaugura­tion address. ,111d will continue lo refine it 111 hb upcoming St.ite of the Union address.

It is clear what the foreign poliC'I go.tis of this ,1dministra­tion arc: to spread freedom .md dcmocr.tc)' around the "orld. \\'hat 1s not .ts clear is what the m.11n focus of his domcst ic poli­cies will be. \\'h,ll it should be, however, is l;J<;kling the third rail ot politic,, Solial Se(uritv.

Soci,11 Se(urit~ is not some­thing that mo .. t, if all\' of \'l)U reading this. :.ire that concerned about. Indeed , our knowledge of Soci,11 Securil\ is often limited to the whining .md moaning that we as students produce after see­ing how much w,ts deducted from

our month!) paychecb. However, it should be one of our main concerns. By the time most of us come to the age where we will be ei.pecting benefits, it's bccom ing increasingly unlikdv that am funds will be left.

Even bY the most optimistic standards, ( th,it is, the standards et forth by the Democratic P.irty

to oppose Presidelll Bush's plan) Social Security simplv won't be a nablc option for us when we retire.

In 2019, the amount the trust takes in \\ill be equal to the amount ll pays out. The following year, the trust will p:w out more than it takes in. That means that the mone} ,1\ ailable for payments will slo\\'lv d\,·indle.

I, like manr of you, will be at the ripe old age of thirtY-five, in the prune of 111\ working Years \\hen this downfall begms. \t the current rate, by 20-12, thert· will not be enough money to par the fulh promised benefib.

I will be 58 Year' old, still near!~ ten wars ,ma\' from be mg eligible for paymenb, and already m\ benefil5 will be only 70 per­cent of what the go\'ernment is

pr,)1111 .. ing now. Social 'ecurity for our gen-

eration is in crisis. The plan put forth bv the Bush

admi111stration would alJm, ind1-' iduab to take part of their Social Security taxes and inwst it. Some people may call it "pri\.atization," but in truth it re.lily is more of a "perstmalizat1on," and is, any W.l)

rou look at it, a font,1stic idea. Unlike what the Democrat..

would mislead you into thmk.ing, a person would not be able to freeh inve t their monev in any stock they like. Indeed, federal govern­ment emplo)'ces alrcadv ha\·e th<' option to m\·est their Soci.11 Security taxes in something called tht• "Thrift $,1\ings Pl.m," ,111d it h,is been tremendously success­ful. \\'h~ should \\'C peons not be able to benefit !Tom the same t~-pe., of retirement and security options th.it feder,ll emplovees have?

Another important p.1rt oi the Bush plan is that you ,ire not required to irwesl H)Ur mone\. It is truly an optional progr.un. In .1ddition, there would be five or six carefullv monitored and \en safe im·estment portfolio plans.

n th.It includes a makeover of the SUB as well as a 11ck box theater that will be added onto the Visual ommunicat1ons Building.

Students voted last year to support the renovation, ;reeing to foot one-third of the bill through tuition ..kes. Consequently, there will be a $55 tuition increase ~r student per semester for many, many years to come. his is, clearly, a renovation for the students and, in a very ~g way, by the students.

The Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported that removing 'le aging faculty locker rooms from Romney Gym could ve as much as $1 million in repair costs and another

150,000 during the renovation process, also opening up assroom and research space.

From a student perspective, this makes perfect sense. ·ow, if the faculty is willing to decrease wages in order > fund an additional locker room for themselves, then I ave no complaints.

But this is a largely student-funded renovation and ould be for our benefit. Not that we should marginalize

r aggravate our professors if at all possible, but sharing a Jcker room with a few more adults doesn't seem to qualify. mean, you don't hear students protesting that they might a\·e to share their locker room with professors.

The faculty needs to be realistic and realize that vhat they're asking is too expensive and too demanding. ~espect the students enough to realize that this rcnova­on i for us.

Another Chain Comes to Bozeman ........... TODD VAN DER ARK

EXPONENT WRITER

I have a ridiculous obsession with fame. I think it is a perti­nent phenomenon to examine, of course, but I may aggrandize its significance just a little. In my article last week I examined the sweeping effects of fame as it pertains to viewers; the way it endorses selfishness and child­ishness while invoking an insipid lethargy. The fact that fame is unattainable to most causes a fear of loneliness, yet most view­ers have burgeoning relationships with their televisions, making them aioof to friendships, family and love.

l sought to alleviate myself from this relationship with televi­sion, computers and other forms

of mass communication, and to examine fame on a more personal level. 1 sought fame for myself. This way, I thought, I will surely be able to comprehend the attrac­tion to fame or vicariousness as well as understand the obverse implications.

"Everyone's famous at Famous Dave's," I was told. So I prepared to embrace this happy fantasy and explore the realm of luxury, beauty and spectacle that accompanies fame. I was prepared for happy thumping in my chest, smiles, and flash photography. And as I walked in the door sidled with an egregious lust for ribs, I immediately saw that none of my criteria would be met.

I assumed that my friend and l would attain even a small amount of notoriety by the time we

received our meals, but not even that could be arranged. The wait­ress even asked which bank card belonged to whom as we paid our bill. Were we famous, this would not have been a problerri.

The greatest problem I had, though, had little to do with my appetite for fame, but with my desire to rid the Gallatin Valley of ill-conceived chain restaurants that squeeze dollars and busi­ness from smaller, locall>' owned stores. Are we not aware that each dollar we spend at Applebee's, Bennigan's, Famous Dave's, etc. is a vote for contrived atmospheres and non-personal service?

Eating at these joints is the antithesis of eating out. Despite surrounding the customer with

New England is probably mh team 111 the FL to play

their full roster every game. Every player is expected to be prepared to help the team win games.

4. Smart veteran acquisi­tions: lf you think most FL teams handle the drafting process inefficiently,

downs, fitting in perfectly with the Pats' offensive scheme. Hard-hit-ting S. Rodney Harrison jumped from the San Diego Chargers to the Pats as a free agent two years ago. While he did play in a Super

Bowl with the then pay atten­tion this off­season to how teams handle acquire vet­eran players, usually as free agents. Most sporadically sign players to

exorbitant contracts without any real concern for how the player will fit in with the team. ot the Patriots.

Running back Corey Dillon was acquired this past year from the Cincinnatti Bengals, a fran­chise that has been a model of ineptitude for more than a decade. While Dillon was considered an immature person and pl,1yer, he was hungq for a chance to be on a winning team. Acquired as only a second round pick, Dillon rushed for over 1,600 yards and 12 touch-

and leader­ship that took New England's

defense to another level. You may have noticed his 87-yard intercep­tion for a touchdown on Sunday.

3. Managem ent: The fir t two reasons for the Pats' success wou ld not have been possible without the ability of the front office to find tough, talented, and pro­ductive players. Scott Pioli, Vice Pre.;ident of Plaver Personnel, has flawlessly worked with coach Bill Belichick to shape the Pats into a tough, cgoless, and efficient team. Although many teams have courted Pioli the past few years, he

has shown loyalty to the Patriots organization, and continued to do as good of a job a any other personnel man in the FL.

2. Coaching: Belichick has to be one of the most unassuming coaches in pro sports. The man has won two of the past three Super Bowls, is on h is way to a third, and still wears the home­less-man sweatshirts every game. It's rumored that none of the Pats players or coaches wears their Super Bowl rings around the team complex; yet another sign of the humility emphasized throughout the organization.

Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis is on his way to Notre Dame, and defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel might be moving on to the Cleveland Browns, but there are very able position coaches who take on the duties of a coor­dinator if needed. Of course, the real key to this coaching staff is Belichicks' game-planning. He is urely hated around the league

for his ability to show you some­thing you have never een. Just ask Peyton Manning.

l. Clutch players: If there

is anything that can define the Patriots of the last four seasons, it has been the ability of various players to step up when needed. K. Adam Vinatieri is the most obvi­ous example. He's the guy who has finished off the two Super Bowls with a last-minute fourth quarter field goal in each game.

Brady, while not the most statistically dominating quar­terback, has shown how far an accurate, intelligent, and aware quarterback can take .i team. He has always saved his best for the biggest stage.

Harrison, Law, ~kGinest,

Brown, Bruschi, DL Richard Seymour, former RB Antowain Smith, and Branch h<1ve always managed to put forth their be t efforts when the team has needed them. This idea of clutch play also applies to second- and third­stringers admirably filling in for injured starters. This is a team that cherishes the pressure of big games and liYCs for the rush of winning the most important one. The only question is if the rest of the FL will follow their blue-print.

Roddick Advances in Australian

Open ........ MELBOURNE

A.P NEWS SERVICE

Andy Roddick cruised into the semifinals at the Australian Open on Wednesda) when Nikolay Davydenko retired from the quarterfinal. match because of breathing problems after falling behind 6-3, 7-5, 4-1.

'Tm just happy to be through," Roddick said. 'Tm going to ha\C a dar off and I' ll cert.1inh· be "atching that match tonight.

Roddick appeared to be tar­geting Davydenko's backhand, his weakest shot. Sening at 3-4 in the first set, Davvdenko hit three consecutiw backhand~

into the net to set up triple break point. He saved one before send­ing a forehand crosscourt just wide.

Roddick held to finish off the set, losing only one pornt on a mis-hit that he nearly missed completely, saving "Oh, wow."

Roddick went ahead 3-2 in the second set b) breaking Davydenko at love. The Russian took a medical timeout, then broke back in the next game as Roddick committed his first two double-faults.

Roddick saved one set point while serving at 4-5, then broke in the next game.

" 1 didn't want them to close the roof," Roddick said. " I fig­ure Florida and Texas are a lot hotter than Russia."

One-Act Festival Combines Humor, Philosop ~ L. ARONSON

EXPONENT WRITER

The Equinox's first Annual One-Act Festiyal packed the house with comedy and smuggled in a few drops of philosophy.

Equinox sponsored the one­act fe tival to encourage and expose local scriptwriter . Five one-acts were chosen out of the seven teen p lays submitted, and out of these five, the most popular are voted o n by the audience.

"Juice," wrirten and directed by Lincoln Solem-Sevier, sets the scene by in t roducing a male and female o n stage alone, and leading the conversation into a discussion on relationships. The audience awaits the arrival of Cupid, who is listed in the program. (Imagine the surprise when Cupid crawls out from under the table). With modern;?ed equipments, (a yri nge 1 nstead of the classical bow

and arrow), Cupid is on a mission to make Amy Jameson fall in love with ixon Dale. He is not pre­pared fo r the chao that follows

when both Amy and Nixon label him a house intruder.

This play touches beautifully on feelings we've all had. \\e've all felt like it would be great to beat up Cupid or, at least, ask him what in the hell he was thinking. The costumes, including Cupid's diaper, added another element of hilarity to "Juice."

"Envoy," written and directed by Craig Kenworthy, did not have the same amount of vi ual humor, and relied on the actors and dialogue to keep the audience interested through a session of role-playing between two charac­ters, who are being examined for jobs in the government. This es­sion takes the ,1udience through a re-labeling of a few political and international e\·ents and gives a well-rounded humorous view of everyday life. There was a little too much foreshadowing concern­ing the CIA. More mysteq would have helped the play.

"Mafia Bob," written and directed by Mike Ryan changed

the scene from government offi­cials to the underworld of soci-ety, where everyone has a dream, including the pizza gur Dream sequences are distinguished with an introduction of music and a pinkish tint in the lighting. The lighting and music haw the potential to become anno\'ing, but the intense humor of mafia members dreaming of drasticalh different lives absorb the audi­ence. The play calls for people to wake up and fulfill their dreams. What the play fails to point out, beyond suggesting that a few of the characters lack enough intel­ligence to follow their dreams, is the vast amount of work and endurance that is required for a person to make a dream reaht\. By the end, the audience des­perate!} wants each character to succeed and le.nes reconsidering their own liYes.

Bennet Dro1ic, the writer of "\1arX)' Gras," found an eve­ning at the Baxter during Mardi Gras, and the idea of creating a

magazine about the commod­itv of beauty \·ery inspiring. This pla,· open with two characters discussing J\larxist economic theory, and questions whether the lifestyle is worth the work and the benefits. The con\'er ation in "i\1an.) Gras" shifts from di cuss­ing foctorv workers to whr women make public displays in exchange for hiny beads. The men discuss whether exposure or drinks are of more value at this point in the night. The line brought a laugh but there was greater potential for more humor and depth in a further dialogue. There are not enough words to describe the humor in this play. This is a play that a perwn has to see to com­prehend.

"The Cruelty of Fate," writ­ten by Ryan Cassavaugh, brings a group of characters omtage, including a mime, who stream from the writer's 1magmation. He wmes their what they sav as ther say it. Problems occur when the writer stops writing. The mime is

not .1ware that he is a mi no one knows what the ch were about to s.w. The ch begin to question how th the play to end and wheth trulv are who the writer them to be.

Life is discussed and fined by the perceptions o character within the ele one-act pl.1vs. There are su di appointments, and the is untraditional. When
