0 people marched Saturday down Main Street to protest tlze possible war against Iraq. The recent discovery of warheads i11 Iraq has made war more probable.

BOZEMAN MAR.CHES

Roughly 750 people garb­ed under sunny skies in roptomist Park this Saturday, 1. 18 for Bozeman 's second

• -ace Parade and Rally protest­~ rhe threat of war with Iraq.

The Reverend Denise Rodgers, ired the crowd by fervently in-1ing. "We are fighting for the lrt and soul of America. We are

against war with Iraq fighting for our armed forces be­cause we don't want them ro come home in body bags."

Starting on the corner of Rouse and Main, rhe parade stretched for blocks behind the banner "Wake Up America" and walked slowly ro the steps of the courthouse.

The mood was cheerful but far from silent, with chants of "What do we want? Peace. When do we want it? ow!~ and "Hell

no, we won't go, we won 'r fight for Texaco" reverberating off the brick walls of Main Street. Drums and a didgeridoo added a bit of melody to the political message.

Skiers who had forgone the slopes for a day turned their poles to rhe sky as supports for signs. A bevy of protesters wore buffalo masks and a dancing cardboard television read, "Weapons of mass disrracrion." Above the crowd hovered a flock of over-

sized, clorh doves competing for space among the placards.

Curious smiles and clicking cameras were the main reaction from bystanders coming our of downtown shops and aparanenrs.

Tina Rodriquez, one of the event coordinators, congratulated the crowd on the courthouse steps for being part of an international movement of protests in connec­tion with rhe Martin Luther King holiday. "There are rallies in 32

countries," Rodriquez said, ~There is a rally today in l'vlissoula, Helena, San Francisco, ew York, the list goes on."

That same Saturday, police reported thar 30,000 marched the streets of the cap ital and over rhe weekend protests ex­tended as far as Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Students could face ruirion creases of between 20 and 50 !rcenr by fiscal 2005, accord­g to Rod Sundsred, associate >mmiss1oner for fiscal affairs

The legislature convened st week and threw out Gov. lanz's budget, which included 13.5 percent increase to edu­~tion . The legislature then >lied back levels to those from 000 to prO\ide a jumping off Olllt for the sessions.

ro show that some levels could reach as high as 150 percent of 2002 prices at some schools. Highest budget crunches will be felt by smaller technology and trade schools such as Grear Falls College of Tech -

nology and Montana Tech. Will Hammerquisr,

ASMSU Student Lobbyist ro the 58th session of the Mon­tana legislature showed con­cern for the current cuts ro the budget and how ir would affect

students. "The legislaru re is currently curring 60 million from the higher education bud­get. That works our to $1,800 per resident student."

"Right now we've rolled back our budget three yea rs.

If we rolled it back to rhe lev­els they were ar in 1992, we'd actually be spending two mil ­lion more on higher education,"said Hammerquist in a relephone interview. "Part of the short­age is from the legislature's refusal to consider taking $93 million from rhe coal trust fund. There's no way to even touch any of that money with­out a three quarters vote of the legislature."

Hammerquist is speaking on behalf of Montana State stu­dents before committees during the legislative session. He acts on behalf of ASMSU ro lobby legislators and testifies to com­mittees on bills and budget pro­posals that affect Montana's higher education system.

Montana University System Chairman Richard Roehm ex­plained the legislature's reason­ing in using 2000 budget levels. "The legislature determined

omotcrs of chis bill are Sen. ike Cooney, D !Ielena, and ,lice captain DaYid Dill.

"The more we \\car tbclts, the more 11\ es will be

e first political authority to pose this strict legislation wearing seatbelts. Not

ily are similar la\\'S being ministrared in ocher staces, \·era! European nations ch as the UK ha\'e been acticing strict searbelr leg-

islation for many years. Ironically, a recenc study

by rhe Galway Cycling Cam­paign sho\\'ed chat these laws might have actually increased traffic deaths in Europe. It is e\idenc thac pedestrian and cyclist deaths have increased by thirteen percent in En­gland since the implementa­tion of these laws.

According co a 2000 Galway C) cling Campaign report,

seatbelt laws ha\'e also caused increased deaths of car occupants.

"Such laws would give law enforce­ment one more reason to unfairly target and selec­tively enforce laws against motorists who legitimately fear being stopped based solely on their appearances:'

-American Civil Liberties Union

Press release

"[Ireland's] 1979 seatbelt law was accompanied by a -I percent increase in deaths to car occu­pants," declared the organiza­tion. The report staces that this

phenomenon is caused by an inc reased sen e of secur ity among drivers, resulting in mo re dangerous driving.

Also in opposition to seacbelt legi lation is the Amer ican Civil Lib ert ies Union (ACLUl. In a 1999 press release, the ACLU de­clared these laws a threat to the inherent rights of motorises, which protect them from un­justified police confrontation.

"Such laws wou ld give law enforcement one more reason to unfairly target and selec­tively enforce Jaws against mo­torists \\'ho legitimately fear being stopped based solely on their appearances. 0 As well, such a law would gi\'e law en· forcement further power to harass la\\'-abiding citizens," declares the organization.

Buckle Up America. on the other h and, an organization that a\'idly promotes seatbelt legislation, believes stricter laws will ine\'irabl) be benefi­c ial to society. The group be­lieves thac primary seatbelt leg­islation (like that being proposed in P.Iontana) \\·ill in­crease seatbelt use up to 15 per­cent. Buckle Up America also declares an O\'er\\'helming pub­lic support for their cause.

In Montana, despite appar­ent legislative and public sup­port, enate Bill 116 \\'ill most likely proYe difficult to pass. Similar laws have been pro-

posed each of the past three ses­sions and all have failed. \X'ith th e sudden emphasis on craffic safety this year, however, the bill may have a more optimistic fate. If made a law, a conflict will un­doubtedly ensue bet\\'een ~lon­tanans' des ires for personal freedom and public safety.

selves un compet itive relative to other state's institutions."

According to a recent Mon­tana University ystem Fact Sheet, other states in the region have had an average of 51.8 percent increase in ten year higher education appropria­tions from their legislatures. Montana lacks far behind with only se\'en percent in that same time period and comparison.

Concerning t hi s fact, Roehm stated, "This repre ­sents the will of the Montana Legislature. It represents a shift from the belief that a higher education degree was primary a public good (an J th erefore should be subsi-

dized with public funds) to one where th e degree is now viewed as a private ga in . Hence, the arg ument goes, t he students gaini ng the fi ­nancial benefits of the degree s hould pa) more to\\'ards the degree . Consequently, state support has gone down, and tuition has gone up ."

However, this increase of financial burden is resulting in more and more students hav­ing to leave Montana in order to pay back the loans and ( unds needed for college. The same P.1 U report says that "on the average, 51. l percent of graduates of the fou r-yea r campuses are employed in the

sta te of Montana upon gradu­acion." In additio n , many stu­dents are not able to stay a t one university for the duration of the ir degree. Statistics show that only a little over fifty percent of freshman actually complete their degree pro­grams at Montana State alone.

IIammerqu ist encourages students to speak out in order to counter the budget cuts they w ill face in the coming years. H e encourages stu­dents to contact their legisla­tors and other leaders in Hel ­ena ro let them know their opinions on the decisions to cut back higher education ap ­prop ri acion .

Saving lives on death row Governor Ryan a hero

for changing the sentences of 167 inmates

@ Annie Glover ~xpooeot Writer

In a rare act of true politi­cal conviction earlier this month, Governor George Ryan of Illinois commuted the death sentences of 167 inmates to life without parole. He coura ­geously and effectively fought an immoral system. Thank you Governor Ryan. Thank you for simply valuing life.

In American society, com­promi e and deliberation are rhe true hallmarks of a working democracy. bur rhe real issues are often lost in ambiguous po­litical rhetoric. GO\•ernor Ryan prO\'ed that some politicians have not complerely lost sight of the ethical rationality upon which the rule of law is based.

Historically, countries ha,·e roiled in dealing with violent crime. ~o for, there is no perfect sy tern that both punishe crimi­nals and deters violence in soci­ety. Unfortunately. crime will al ­ways exist. \'('har, then, can citizens do in response? Should the scare pursue punishment through eyc-lor-an-eye policies. or should it prnmote safer~ though the imprisonment of dan ­gerous criminals)

~o lar, U ' la" lu hdd on to an antiqu<lted S) stem that preaches sanctity ollife through killmg t\meric<tns who fa,·or the death pen.tit\ seem to b<.' suffering from some sort of de lusion of gr<tndeur-.t (iod

mentality. In our divine w-isdom, we Americans can make the judgment whether a person may live or die. Life is so important to the majority of Americans, that we use state-sanctioned murder to prove it.

I have never experienced the loss of a loved one through murder. I cannot possibly fathom the feelings of the vic­tims' familie . They have every right to want retribution; capi­tal punishment could possibly help the grieving process and provide closure for the e fami­lies . How could it be fair to

grant life to one who kills? However, hould laws be based on th e subjective idea of fair­ness? l o. Law exists to bring rational order to the srnte. o while the emotional soul of the countr) may len<l its sup­port to the death penalt), ob­jectiYe law should nor.

rowing up, many chil­have heroes, some may t1onal, a on or a cter in a e; yet, it s it's al-

program, Brian Choi, a stu­dent and football player at MSU, has proven himself to be more than just a great role model to his little brother. He has proven himself to be a great role model for us all.

Somehow, between study­ing Business here at MSU and playing football for the MSU

the !iv- "I knew that no Bobcats , Brian Choi went out of his way to find the time to be­come a big brother. He was inspired to be a big brother be­cause "there was a big demand for

Alex. Brian spent two to three days a week with Alex, for about an hour and a half to two hours per session. Brian helped Alex with homework, and gave him an incentive to get his homework done so he could go play. Brian and Alex planned to attend Bowl for Kids Sake an annual fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Unfortunately, Brian was unable to attend Bowl for Kids Sake due to the unex­pected death of his mother in the beginning of November. Knowing that he wouldn 't be able to attend BFKS, Brian took it upon himself to collect pledges anyway. He spent be­tween three and four weeks collecting pledges (three pages in all). He collected pledges from coaches, team members , teachers, and staff (even the MSU president ). He often offered 'If you sign mine, I'll sign yours' to others who were collecting pledges ,

llowstone wolves on the run

e 20-member Nez Perce ack has once again disap-

d from Yellowstone Na­Park, the second time in an two years.

Tolf biologists are sure the .jli wander back, federal wolf I) coordinator Ed Bangs

· ut in the meantime "we'd e ro know where they are."

angs said it 's nor unusual wolf pack to penodically er away from irs territory. 1 the fall of 200 I, the 1ez ! pack disappeared from al Yello\\'stone and resur­

J m eastern Idaho, where

members of the pack killed a dog. The pack then wandered back into the park.

Bangs said the pack may be out looking for food due to a lower number of elk and bi­son in Yellowstone.

"They may be just travel­ing around to see who the compe­tition is and looking at other rerri­rories," he said. "Or they may have just decided to rake a walkabout, go way outside their territory to check things out."

W'olves are capable of trav­eling hundrc;:ds of miles across rugged terrain.

Six of the wolves wear ra­dio collars, but on-the-ground telemetry units on!: work

en •

when the general area of the wolves is known. From the air, managers can track radio collars only if there is a clear line of sight.

So wildlife officials have spent hours searching by air and on foot for the pack, which has nor been seen since mid-December.

Managers do not have any specific plans to relocate the wolves if they are spotted somewhere outside Yellowstone unless they are caus­ing some kind of a disrurbance.

Bangs said knowing \\·here the 1cz Perce pack wen r can be an indication of where fu­ture wolf packs might esrab­lish themselve .

actually p ledging $100 himself in order to obtain more pledges.

In order to par-ticipate in BFKS col­lege stu­dents are only re­quired to raise $ 7 5 ; Brian de­cided to go above and beyond the basic requirements. As a matter of fact, he was so com­mitted to this cause that he earned 10 times the basic re­quirement, $750. He was in­spired to raise these pledges because "I knew that no mat­ter how much money I raised it would go to the kids ... a lot of the kids don't have as much as we do ".

Although Brian is taking the spring semester off in or­der to train for the NFL, he

manages to keep in touch with Alex. Brian says "He and I keep in con tact. .. we write

postcards ... he told me he would always look

at me as a big brother be-

cause I have impacted his life so much " . Brian would like to tell

othe r high school and col­

lege students that there are a lot of girls

who are willing to give time, but the program needs a lot more guys. There are so many little boys who just want a friend who is older, and it only takes an hour a week to make a big difference in a kid's life.
