ASBSUseeks student fee increaseAdditional revenue to fund student organizations

BY MONICA PWCE,NewsReporter.•! The Arbfter.,

This past TUesday.with a voteof ts to 8•.Boise State's studentgovernment decided to ask forincreased student fees to helpwith funding. While no amountwas set in stone, Senator PamMagee estimated a $3 to $5raisein student fees wouldsuffice,

According to Magee, any kindof fee increase should go to the·students.' .

"Students are tired of cuts,"Magee said.

During this current budgetcrunch BSU has cut back onclasses and faculty.The studentorganizations and servicesprovided by ASBSUare near-and-dear to students, Mageesaid.

"We'repaying more for thingsright now but, we're getting lessservices and most of the moneyfor our .. .fee increase has beengoing to the matriculation

fee." Magee said. According toMagee, fee increases have goneto administrative expenses andnot to student programming,Currently each full time studentpays $1,059.25in matriculationfees per semester,

ASBSU funds close to 170-student organizations and that'swhere most of their budgetgoes. In this year's budget,$150,610.37 will go straight tostudent organizations. Thatfigure does not include moneyset a side for emergencies andspecial events.

Currently ASBSUreceives neffunds from summer classes andonly 80 cents from part-timestudents. Full time students pay$15.75 per semester. Mageesaidthat by increasing summer andpart time fees ASBSUmay nothave to ask for a fee increasefrom full time students.

The last time ASBSU wasgranted a fee increase, BillClinton had just becomepresident. Boise State's student

The financial burden onASBSU to provide for eachorganization has finally corneto a head; without more funds,cutbacks are imminent.

"I don't want to see studentservices cut," Magee said.

Clubs have to fuUmcommunity servicerequirements and fundraisingof their own in order to receivefunds from ASBSU."We havenew clubs and higher demandsfor what they.need and we can'tsupply it." Magee said.

ASBSUis not just asking formore funding. They are lookingat where and why funds areallocated said Magee. Mageebelieves it's time to rethinkwhere funds are going.

According to Senator RobertGreen, ASBSUis dipping intotheir contingency fund in orderto maintain the current level ofservices students receive. "Atsome point ASBSUhas to ownup to the fact, we don't have themoney."

Organizations are the numberone way students get involvedin school, and students whoare involved in school are morelikelyto graduate Green said.

ASBSU has received somerevenue back from studentorganizations that don't meettheir community serviceobligations, but studentgovernment leaders don't wantto profit from organizationsdropping the ball.

"We don't want clubs to failso we can keep the money,we don't want to be in thatposition," ASBSUPresident AliIshaq said.

Ishaq was at first opposed toan increase, but reluctantly sawthere was no other choice.

Students won't like to see feesraised but they will understandif the money goes directly backto them lshaq said. Ishaq addedthat ASBSUdoesn't operate ina vacuum. "If we don't ask forthis increase it will rob a lot ofpeople:' Ishaq said.

LEGALWhy do ·we need

renter security deposits?

BY'Dn. DECATEUR REEDLegalColumnist

Stephanie rented an apartment last yearand put down a security deposit. Whenshe moved out at the end of the semester,her landlord didn't return her depositright away. Eventually, she received acheck for less than half her deposit withno explanation. What are her rights?

Almost everyone has entered into acontract to rent or lease a residencesuch as a townhouse, apartment,condominium, studio. mobile horne.or house. Whatever the label. rentinga residence entails a complicated setof legal rules, mostly based on thecontractual agreement between theparties. However.Idaho statutory law setsout what is required of the parties as to asecurity deposit.

It is legal for a landlord to require asecurity deposit as a condition of rentingand the dollar amount is completely upto the parties. Any amount given to alandlord that is not specifically intendedto be rent is deemed a security deposit.The contract between the parties shouldspecify the dollar amount of the depositand what it may be used for. SinceIdaho law does not address to whom theaccruing benefit goes (i.e., interest on thedeposit); the contract should indicatethis. Should the contract be ambiguousas,to the deposit, the court will interpretthe agreement within the meaning of thestatute. If the statute does not addressa certain topic, the ambiguity will beconstrued against the party who draftedthe contract (usually the landlord) andin favor of the other party (usually thetenant).

A tenant is required to give the agreedupon notice to vacate the property as

. stated in the contract. If a tenant fails togive the requisite 30 days notice and thecontract allowsthe deposit to be used fora breach of the contract or rent, then thelandlord may charge the deposit for thedamages incurrE;d.If the contract is silent

as to how much notice to vacate must begiven. then the law will constructivelyestablish a reasonable notice period tobe the time between rental payments. So,if a tenant pays rent every 30 days, noticewill be required 30 days before a tenantvacates the property.

Let's assume that Stephanie gaveproper notice to vacate the property.the contract is terminated. and she hassurrendered the property. The landlordis required to return all of Stephanie'sdeposit. less the amount necessary tocover the contingencies specified inthe contract. These "contingencies" areusually damages to the premises dueto the tenant's (or tenant's householdmembers, Invitees,or guests) negligence.carelessness, accident. misuse. or abuse.The landlord is not allowed to retain anypart of the deposit due to the normalwear and tear of the premises, If thecontract does not state a time periodthat the deposit must be returned. thelaw requires that it must be returned tothe tenant within 21 days after the tenantsurrenders the property. The parties canagree to a different time period in thecontract. but not longer than 30 days.Should the landlord levy any chargeagainst the deposit, the refunded amountmust be accompanied by a signedstatement from the landlord that itemizesthe purpose and amounts of the charges,

There are a few other items thatStephanie should know. If the property issold during the rental period, the tenantmust look to the new owner for refund ofthe deposit. If the tenant fails to returnthe keys to the property. then the tenanthas not surrendered the property and canbe held liable for rent during that period,even if the contract has terminated.Finally,if the landlord fails to comply withthe law and the contract. the tenant canfilesuit. If the court finds that the landlordintentionally or maliciously violated thelaw, the tenant may be awarded 3 timesthe proven damages (treble damages). Inaddition, attorney's fees may be awardedto the prevailingparty.

Student Health, Wellness and Counseling Centerpushes for expanded facilities$16-$17 million project could raisestudent fees as much as $100 per year

BYAMYOLSENNews Reporter

The Arbiter

ASBSU's McHealth Forum lastThursday opened up with anopportunity for students to talkto Student Health, Wellness andCounseling Services directorFerdinand Schlapper abouttheir health care.

The Oct. 13 meeting was'also an opening for Schlapperto 'push for a new proposedhealth facility estimated tocost around $16-$17 million.In order to pay for it, Schlappersaid, a fee increase of $40-$50 per semester per studentwould be needed. This year theASBSU Senate created a specialcommittee to look into theproposed fee increases.

The new facility wouldboast dental. and eye care,as well as chiropractics andathletic injuries treatment.The proposed location is rightbehind the current Student

Recreation Center in order tocreate a "Health Park."

Should the facility gainapproval, it would be builtand paid for with student fees,and its completion could beexpected in three years.

The proposal, though, is onlyin its initial stages. Both theASBSU Senate and the HealthCenter are looking for studentfeedback.

"I may be a dreamer, but I seein the future where it could be areally good health center," saidJim Sherman, senator-at-large."Right now, the counselingcenter does internships withstudents, and if our healthcenter grows, and we want tosupport that, then we could getmore internships."

Students can expect towait around two weeks foran appointment to see a careprovider at the center. As awalk-in, the wait can stretchinto several hours.

Many students at the forumexpressed frustration at thelong waits they'd had to endure

. in the past."Even if we had the money

to hire new staff, we'd havenowhere to put them,"Schlapper said. All of theexamination rooms are filled,he said.

A student at the forum askedif it would be possible to set upsatellite operations.

Schlapper responded thatsome possibilities includerenting a temporary trailer orputting some facilities in theSUB, but currently, no concreteplans have been made.

The building that currentlyhouses the health center was ahamburger stand in the 1950's.The center was only intended tocare for a campus population of3,500 in the '60s, when BSU wasstiIl a junior college. Since then,there have been no changes infunding or facilities.

DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION BY DAVID HABBEN/THE ARBITER

Boise State's current studentpopulation is nearly 18,500.

"We're physically bursting atthe seams," Schlapper said.

Some have argued. thatbecause of the new requirementthat says all full-time studentsmust be enrolled in the Student

Health Insurance Program, theneed for a new health facility hasbeen artificially manufactured.

Schlapper assured studentsat the forum that the facilityhas been at capacity for muchlonger.

Other issues brought up at

the forum included concernsabout part-time studentsbeing unable to participate inSHIP. The center isn't offeringcoverage to part-time studentsbecause of a net loss of $200,000last year.'

Disposable SocietyBYEDVIN SUBASIC

ColumnistThe Arbiter

To understand how our society today works andto find some reasonable answers on unreasonablepolitical and social situations and happenings intoday's world, we should look at small-scale aspectsin our lives and minds. One of these would be theway we view everything around us as disposable andfor granted.

We are generations of disposing. We like the waythe word "disposal" sounds. It is associated withcomfort, easier and better living. For example, welike the comfort of disposal goods. We go shoppingfor plastic bags, bottles of beer, wine, soda, cleaningtissues, milk etc. and. we don't think about thepossibility of bringing empty bottles or cartons backto the store for example, because it's hard to thinkabout it and it's kind of old-fashioned, as well as thefact that stores wouldn't want to bother with it. We

BYWILUAM M.ARKINSpecial to the Los Angeles Times

In June of 2002, Jerry Boykin stepped to the pulpitat the First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow, Okla.,and described a set of photographs he had takenof Mogadishu, Somalia, from an Army helicopterin 1993.

The photographs were taken shortly after thedisastrous "Blackhawk Down" mission had resultedin the death of 18 Americans. When Boykin camehome and had them developed, he said, he noticeda strange dark mark over the city. He had an imageryinterpreter trained by the military look at the mark."This is not a blemish on your photograph," theinterpreter told him, "This is real,"

"Ladies and gentleman, this is your enemy," Boykinsaid to the congregation as he flashed his pictures ona screen. "It is the principalities of darkness .... It isa demonic presence in that city that God revealed tome as the enemy,"

That's an unusual message for a high-rankingU.S. military official to deliver. But Boykin does itfrequently.

This June, for instance, at the pulpit of the GoodShepherd Community Church in Sandy, Ore., hedisplayed slides of Osama bin Laden, SaddamHussein and North Korea's Kim Iung II. "Why dothey hate us?" Boykin asked. "The answer to that isbecause we're a Christian nation .... We are hatedbecause we are a nation of believers,"

Our "spiritual enemy," Boykin continued, "willonly be defeated if we come against them in thename of Jesus,"

Who is Jerry Boykin? He is Army Lt.General WilliamG. "Jerry" Boykin. The day before Boykin appearedat the pulpit in Oregon, the Pentagon announcedthat Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld hadnominated the general for a third star and namedhim to a new position as deputy undersecretary ofDefense for intelligence.

In this newly created position, Boykin is not justanother Pentagon apparatchik or bureaucraticwarrior. He has been charged with reinvigoratingRumsfeld's "High Value Target Plan" to track downbin Laden, Saddam, Mullah Omar and other leadersin the terrorism world.

But Gen. Boykin's appointment to a high positionin the administration is a frightening blunder at atime when there is widespread acknowledgmentthat the position of the United States in the Islamicworld has never been worse.

When somebody comes up with facts andquestions about the subject matters, we say thatwe have plenty of unused space and then, trustingour technology in finding solution for our problems,we believe that one day we will dispose everythingon Mars and other planets, just like we trust thetechnology to find the new energy solutions after werun out of oil. This tells a lot about people and thissociety. Just like we like disposable products we likeeverything else that is disposable- even ourselves.

So are we the disposable society. We disposeevery good attempt to question our ways of livingand thinking. We dispose human lives as if they arereplicable, as if not every human being ever had.anything unique or valuable in their souls. Instead,

they become numbers in newspapers disposed forgood causes. For example, we have disposable troopsaround the world, which can be always replaced toserve the politics of our government.

The same politics are the ideas which are presentedas non-disposable, like it's impossible to step downfrom the bad politics. It has to be carried out as ifthere is no other solution. The idea of disposablepolitics is not acceptable for the people who madeour society, our lives and values disposable.

Then, if we want to change anything, can we startwith changing our idea of disposable goods anddisposable lives? Can we start reusing empty bottlesand stop making piles of garbage? Can we changeour view of environment as something disposable?Is this the place to start, in order to avoid today'spolitics and the way our society works? It may helpin building a better bigger picture of the world. Tobe sure we can start somewhere, maybe we shouldbegin with changing our perception of the word"disposal"

The Crows took the stageright around 8:30 p.m., oneof the most punctual showsI've been to, which made mehappy. The band opened witha chilling melody of "Rain King"and "Raining in Baltimore,"two amazing songs off of theband's debut album, Augustand Everything After. The bandis known for combining two orthree of their songs into one.But this, is the first time I'veheard of this particular combo,which made me feel special.Lead singer Adam Duritzimmediately stole the show.He has a commanding stagepresence and his vocal styleseems very conversational, likehe is conversing with the fans,not just singing. It makes for aninteractive show, which is muchmore fun than just standing.I think the way Jim Morrisonwent into history as a greatpoet, Duritz will become therocker from our generation tobe remembered as a lyricist. Anyof Duritz's lyrics could be pulledfrom his songs and be put into agreat American novel.

So I raced home,packed up my homeworkand hung out' in front of therestaurant for three hours ona ridiculously hot October dayto ensure I'd get my ticket.Fortunately, I was one of thefirst there, and did in fact get myticket to the show.

Once at the Big Easy, it quicklybecame apparent that AOLgaveout way too many tickets tothis show. I've been to multiplebig shows at the Big Easy, andthey were uncomfortably full,but this show was just silly.The concert house removedall the chairs and tables, andpacked as many people in thereas possible.

I'm not sure who to thank first,AOL or Gov. Dirk Kempthorne,for bringing Counting Crows toBoise.

Internet giant AOL ran an adin a New York paper that stated;"You don't think we'd launchsomething like this in Boise,did you?" The line was meantto be a comical phrase. ButKempthorne took the attackseriously. He wrote the world'slargest Internet provider aletter, defending Boise and theState of Idaho. I'm imagining itwas along the lines of. "ScrewTexas. Don't mess with Idaho.Actually, Kempthorne told thecorporation that Boise is not ared neck town and would be avery suiting location to launcha new product.

Regardless of whatKempthorne wrote to AOL,it worked. The corporationformally apologized, donated$25,000 to Boise school districtsand paid the Counting Crowsto playa "surprise show" at theBig Easy Oct. 8. So thank you,AOL, for sticking your foot inyour mouth. and thank youKempthorne for sticking up forus.

As far as Iknow, the surpriseshow was quite the surprise ..The Big Easy and AOL didn'tannounce the show until theday before. And tickets were notfor sale. I counted on my jobtitle to get my tickets. I figuredthe Big Easy would just hook meup with a couple of those badboys. So when my editor toldme he couldn't get me tickets,I naturally went into a state of,panic.

Boise State places fourth. in Lacrosse tourneyBYJESSEDAY

Sports ReporterThe Arbiter

The 'Bronco lacrosse team placed fourth this weekendin the Gem State Lacrosse Invitational in Boise. Thetournament brought teams from Utah and the Northwestto Boise for a regional showdown.

This is the fifth year Boise State has hosted thetournament, and according to the Boise State Lacrosseclub it was the biggest so far.

Lacrosse club president and defenseman Jacob Wilsonsaid they haven't seen fan turn out like this before.

"We had a couple of hundred people on the sidelines. Itwas great. There hasn't been this kind of turn out ever forthe tournament," Wilson said.

One of the reasons for the turnout may be an increasedinterest due to area schools starting lacrosse programs. Infact, the 2003 Bronco roster has increased because of highschool athletes continuing on at Boise State.

The Broncos look at this tournament as a success on twolevels. One, the team played well. Two, the team's overallyouth gained experience wit!J.high-level competition.

Wilson said the team was pleased with the weekend'sresults.

"We definitely learned a lot this weekend, we got somereally important playing time for the new guys and playedwell," Wilson said. .

The Broncos began the weekend with a two-point tieagainst the University of Montana. Defense captured theattention of fans in this match, showcasing the team's skills.Heading up the defensive effort was goalle Mac Christian.who held of the relentless Montana attack.

We finally made it to our first'day of practice. :

Practice went pretty fast,:probably because this is what:we've been' anticipating ever:since last season ended with Iour team sitting pretty low in'the final conference standlngs.;

We're ready to work, ready:to change things up. Truth be:told, I think we learned more:today rather than compared ~to the .first day of practice:last year. Not because we'weren't givin' it out all in '02,.but because the team we're:puttin' on the court this year:compared to last is just better- plain and simple.

We ran a lot of plays today, sopeople can get used to running:the offensive with some'defense on them. •

We scrimmaged a lot, giving;us tile chance to see 'what we're'working with, what we have as;one unit- as a team.

We'll definitely miss some ofthe fellas from last year, wc'vebeen through a lot with them.

But, like I said- out with theold and in with the ncw.

Our first game exhibitiongame is on Nov. 5, and our firstregular season game at thePavilion will be on Nov. 24.
