Modern fe111inists get a bad ra "Do you consider yourself a feminist?" The

question was posed to people in the SUB yesterday afternoon by an £).ponentvrriter and photographer for our Q of the U spot.

We had some interesting responses from people who bad obviously put some thought into the issue. We also had some not-so-thoughtful responses. One girl told our reporter, "No, I'm not a femmist because I cook and do laundry."

Across the board there seemed to be an inconsistency in what people considered to be feminism and a

which they were once limited. ·why is it that feminists nowadays have such a bad reputation?

For awhile, I entertained a fantasy about the many ways I could play on the stereotypes of feminists if a reporter posed that question to me.

"You're god damned right I'm a feminist," I would say. ''I've been oppressed my whole life by men. Any time I tried for something and didn't succeed it was because a man was holding me dO\"ffi."

Then I would look our photographer square in the eye, and I would break his balls (whatever that means).

If you buy into the notion that feminism is irrelevant because women have attained equality, then this response is probably what you would expect from a feminist.

I am a feminist . I am, at times, an angry feminist. I would advise anyone who knows a woman who is not an angry feminist some of the time to check her pulse.

Because a woman is angry about the way members of her gender are treated in this world doesn't mean that significant gains have not been made. It doesn't mean that men aren't under societal pressures to look and behave a certain way, because certainly they are. It doesn't mean that we hate men or think we're better than men. It just means that .vomen want to be treated as equals. Call it a vagina thing.

Last June, CNN's "Larry King Live" aired an analysis of Hillary Clinton's possible run for a New York Senate seat. Among the topics up for debate was a candid discussion of an issue

When I was a hippie in the 6os we laughed at the automobiles as "eggshells" that kept people apart. Today-although I try to be less judgmental-I still see them as graphic pictures of American greed and overconsumption. Cars that could carry six go tooling around usually (count 'em) with one solitary citizen, who is often putting on the feedbag.

Car-pooling. Shuttle service. Buses, like Bozeman had. Or even doing the retro thing of walking are solutions.

When I worked for the MSU bookstore I walked from 171h and Durston. I loved it. Walking is one of the great pleasures of life. There is less temptation to stick some media over one's head, using someone else's radio, music or news to be "your" perception.

One might even encounter an original thought.

Student enrollment drops for spring semester Churchill Thomas ExJJonent Writer

Nearly 750 students called it quits over Christmas break, humbling MSU's record-breaking fall enrollment figures and leaving officials curious.

"There was a decline," MSU Registrar Charles Nelson said. "We clidn"t graduate or suspend any more students thru1 usual."

Al1en Yarnell, Vice President for Student Affairs at MSU, said the cause of the drop in

attendance is still being researched. He also explained that lower enrollment is expected between fall and spring semesters, on the university and national level, and that any number of factors could have influenced the drop.

uThere is a decline every year from fall to spring; · saidYarnel1. "Wejustdon'tknow; We don't recruit for spring like we do for fall ... many students are working and seeking residency ... "

Total enrollment is down to 11,003 students

Hollywood pretty boys bamboozle the box office By Katie Parsons Exponent Writer

Director/ writer Ben Younger chose to focus on the money-hungry males of Generation Y-dirty, rotten twenty-somethings who build their bank ac­counts from the salaries of everyday citizens in his new film "Boiler Room."

This "Wall Street" meets "Fight Club" venture portrays the story of Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi) and his delve into the illicit. In his determination to win approval from his father, Seth agrees to go to work for a small brokerage firm whose only goal, unbeknownst to him, is to hoodwink common folk for all they're worth.

The testosterone-driven, fraternal hotshots sell fake stock to gullible men (no women-they ask too many questions) in order to get rich quick. The turning point comes when Seth discovers the truth behind the scam and is forced to make a judgement call.

A5 far as the star is concerned, Ribisi is en­dearing and completely convincing with the excep­tion of the emotional interactions between himself and his father.In those situations Ribisi's perfor­mance isn't up to snuff: he seems uncomfortable in the situation and puts forth an effort that is almost unbearable to watch.

His co-star, Ben Affleck, graces the screen in a role much smaller than expected. The trailer sug­gests a larger, more involved character, but Affleck pops in and out of the film only a few times.There are bouts of humorous dialogue between the big­wigs of the firm that provide a valuable interlude between the multitude of illegal affairs.

A5 a bottom line, "Boiler Room" is a good flick, but doesn't have enough substance to make it a must-see .

Man: Frank Black cometh Catholics on Frank Black and the Catholics and Teenager of the Year.

According to Frank Black's bio found on the web at http.// imus1'c.com/showcase.modern/ frankblack.htm/, the band en­joyed recording live as opposed to the "typical, well-produced scene ... happening in the charts [and] on the radio."

Black surely struck a chord with Bozeman's quasi-Luddite dogmatists when he said that "it seem[ed] appropriate for a band like us so stuck on the guitar" to do a live recording \¥ithout all the usual razzmatazz.

In Pistolero's "So Hard to Make Things Out,'' Black danger­ously purrs. "well I'll tell you my philosophy, things must have been grand way back in the old country in a younger land." A

continued from 5

nostalgia for what is past in his newest release, tempered with casual acquiescence, for "just roll­ing around is fine" v.rith him.

But all of this is just talk. The meat of the mus ic isn't found here. It's in the live performance brought to you by ASMSU Ll\'ely Arts. Check out Frank Black and the Catholics and get a gulp of what has become of hard core rock/moonlight punk. He's boiled off the soupiness of his ear­lier solo work and has left us with just the meat and vegetables. Come, listen and enjoy his new stew ... and answer for yoursefl whether or not rock is dead.

Tickets are $9 for students and $12 for the rest of you. This, by the way, is an incredible deal for all you smart shoppers out there. And remember, you can buy your tickets at the door.

"who are not afraid to break a nail,"" hopes to "get the word out on the magazine," by sponsoring this snowboarding/skiing e\·ent, according to Diana Boric, merchandising manager for JANE.

"We chose Big Sk·y because ifs cool. Ifs snowboard friendly,"' Boric said. "We're not vour tvpical magazine and we're not really into the Colorado scene." · Snow DaY kicks off at 8:15 a.m. with free lift tickets forthe first50 people at the ticket sales booth in the Big Sky Main Mall. But don hvol1), for those who don "troll out of bed at the crack of dawn and fly down the Gallatin Canyon to Big Sk·y,JANEand Big Sky have joined efforts to offer $30 lift tickets for college students.

To receive this discount ticket, navigateja11emag.com and print the Snow Day coupon (hint: once on the homepage, click on the "JANE's World" link) and present it on Saturday along with a valid student ID.

Other Snow Dav e\·ents will include the Nike Pipe Cleaner at 11 a.m. - a half-pipe exhibition off the ~charger lift put on by some top local boarders (followed by an open half-piping social for all) and an Avon Slope Clinic from 2-4 p.m. with free manicures (in case someone does break a nail) and skin consultations at the Lone Mountain Cafe. For the grand finale, an Apres-Ski Party at Dante's Inferno will get underway at 8:30 p.m., complete with live music by Island recording artist Tracy Bonham starting at 9:30 p.m. Cool snowboarding gear will be given away throughout the day.

Bonham"s performance will include songs from her upcoming release.Down Here, a\·ailable in stores April 18. TI1e album kicks off with .. Behind Eve1yGood Woman (Lies a Trail of Men) .. .'' described on Island's homepage as having an "in your face bass line, infectious melody and clever lyrics'" showing ''TraC)1S ability to bring sarcasm and humor together."'

In 1996 Bonham released 77ze Burdell.S qf Being Upright, featuiing the hit "Mother Mother," which received two Grammy nominations, and was certified gold.

Bonham, a Eugene, Ore. native who, despite rumors, is of no relation to deceased Led Zepplin drummer John Bonham, has taken her music to all comers of the globe including performances with the Lilli th fair- an all-women music tour staited by musician Sarah McLachlan.

Big S1.·y is the ultimate kiing e.'-.-perience for all ranges of skiing or snowboarding talent The two mountains that make up Big Sk1· Resort (Lone Mountain and Andesite Mountain) offer more than 3,500 skiable acres of terrain, ranging from beginner to advanced/expe1t. You can spend all day grinding in the terrain park, skiing the groomed trails or, if you're extreme at heart, try out Big Couloir, the double black diamond that shoots straight off the face of Lone Peak. If you're going for the more nostalgic feel, try Gondola One, an aged lift covering 1,525 vertical feet on a 12-minute ride.

It all sounds so wonderful, but Big Sky has its snags. It does cost money to ski there, but Big S1."y has made a valiant effort to accommodate MSU students. Single day passes with a valid student ID are only $40. And new this year, Big Sky offered competitive season pass p1ices-only $495 for a season pass $210 for a 10- day pass, $360 for a 20- day, and $420 for a 30-day pass.

I was informed that Big Sk1• had a record 5.000 skiers last Saturday. It sounds like a lot (half of.r..ISU's student population) but that is still less than two skiers per acre of temlin and even though it was crowded, the lines moved fast with Big Sk··/s 18 lifts.

Kratner likes personality traits of first recruiting class at MSU Special to thti Exponent

!\like Kramer knows the statistics, the heights and weights, knows all the physical attributes ,rnd kudos that his first recruiting class will hring to l\lontana State football next August. Bul what he likes most about his first recruiting class as l\1SU's head coach are the things that can't be measured.

"The number one asset I looked for in these kids \\as, 'Do they have the personality traits "·e need?' ·oo they enjoy life?' 'Are they leaders in the classroom, on the field, in the weight room?' Those are the things I want to build on.

The emphasis in Kramer's first recruiting class was on skill position players and speed. "This class features good speed, good athleticism, competitiveness, the ability to threaten the end zone on every play, .. h e said. "The linemen we signed are guys with good

strength, good athleticism, good explosiveness."

Kramer expects a few of the players to challenge for p laying time next fall. "Because of the skill level of this class, there are some players that may have lo play next fall. My preference is certainly to haYe the majority redshirt. All of the junior college kids that we signed have redshirt seasons aYailable, as wel1. And there are guys in the developmental category that wil l learn and grow in this program."

In the two-plus months since Kramer's hiring, he said he has worked equally hard on recruiting internal ly and externally. "This has been a solid program. It has only one losing season in the last four, so it's not like we're starting from scratch. My top priority was to make sure the young men in this program understand that our timeline for success is short, and they've responded with clarity and enthusiasm: ·

game, Clark finished with four points, 10 assists and 10

rebounds in an 85-76 Olympic win over Seattle last weekend.

Although Clark has not yet played rn the Big Sky Conference. he has a few connections to Big Sky basketball. At Olympic, Clark played with former Bobcat center Luke Arthur, and his head coach at Olympic is Barr) Junusch, a former assistant coach at conference member Idaho State.

Along with Montana State, Clark was recruited by Northern Colorado and Seattle Pacific, along v.ith a handful of other schools, according to his coach.

But Clark's decision was to enroll at l\ISU and play for the Bobcats.

"Coach (Janusch) and I talked and he felt l\fontana State was the best place for me to go with my skills right now," Clark said.

Kramer was hired to replace long-time

Nie Stevenson, a football standout inBaker, Mont. , High, has signed a national le tter-of-intent to attend Montana State University next fall, MSU coach Mike Kramer has announced.

A 6-3, 230-lb offensive lineman, Stevenson was a

Great Falls Tribune Super State choice, earned Class B All-State kudos, and was chosen for the Mon-Oak and Shrine all-star games this summer. He helped lead Baker to a 12-0 record and the Class B Championship this year.

"I like his arm length , his athletic ability, h is abi lity to stay on hi s feet, " Kramer said . "I like the way he played all 48

minutes with a lot of intensit). He's a true offensive lineman who will probably play center or guard. Nie is a tough kid with a stro ng interest in playing well for the Bobcats."

A starter on Baker's fifth­ra n ked basketba ll team , Stevenson is the 21st player overall and the fifth from Montana to sign with the 'Cats this winter.

Dylan: Popular folk artist will make tour stop at the Fieldhouse

Montana. When it came up that he was touring here, we put some bids up and a couple came back.··

Although assumptions cannot be made regarding ticket sales, it is a safe bet that by Saturday the Bob Dylan concert probably will be a very tough ticket to find.

"We are unsure of what is going to happen," said MSU Assistant Athletic Director Angela Baumann, who was spearheading the ticket sales side of the concert operation. "It is so hard to gauge. We sold about 2.000 the first day Def

Leppard tickets were on sale." Tickets, of which about

7,000 were available this morning, are being sold at all Bobcat ticket locations including the Fieldhouse (North West entrance), Ask­Us Desk, Albertson's and First Security Bank. Tickets are also being sold at Cactus Records.

Each one of the ticket locations will offer tickets until the concert is sold out.

"These tickets are being sold off of our computer sys t e m , ·· B a u m a n n s a i d . "Everyone will be working on

the same system. n

MSU Facility Services employees took the time on Thursday to set up barriers and special signs to handle the possibility of a long line waiting for tickets to go on sale this morning.

"We are over-planning just to be on the safe side," Baumann said.

Although it was unclear at press time if loyal Dylan fans wouJ<l be camping out overnight on Thursday to get tickets, it is safe to assume that tickets for the biggest show in Bozeman will go fast.

ASMSU Exponent -Budget: Surplus benefits daycare, student parents

continued from pa

things they deal with, so we wanted to find somebody who would stick around fo r a couple of years who had the time to put into it," Kuntz said.

To do this, the Senate allocated approximately $6,200 to pay a graduate student to direct the Leadership Institute.

Despite the obstacles the Senate faced, there were a few good points. In previous years, the Senate wouJd keep a running total of the cuts they had made. Consequently, the committee whose budget was cut last couJd face a larger cut than expected.

"We went through committee and said 'what you need, what don't y need,'" Kuntz said.

"By doing that ended up with a surplus $9,000."

With the surplus, t Senate allocated $4,000 to the Day Care committee to help students with children defray the costs ol childcare.

ASMSU Concerts, Comedy, Lively Arts Ii Entertainment and the Exponent were among the committees which received the largest cuts.

Enrollment: MSU loses 75 students from fall semeste

this spring, 750 below the peak enrollment of 11,753 students reached last seme>1er, which was se\'cn students more than the pre\ fous record set in Fall 1999.

Demographically, the drop was distributed evenly through all categories of students, graduate and undergraduate. Nelson named the robust economy as a possible cause for the decline in students, saying that in good times some students leave higher

education and begin their early. Yarnell also acknowl the job market as a poten factor.

Yarnell indicated thatwl ASi\lSC' funds might suffer fri lower enrollment, acader funds for ~1SU from tuition~ state budgeting would proba remain unaffected.

MFull time enrollm stayed the same, and that's wh imoortant.~ Yarnell said.
