"\\'e thmk the people of one region can learn from people from another region," says ~lontagne.
He chose to work in the himokawa Township of Japan
(known for its "big snows"l, the Darhat Valley of ,\longolia (known as "Blue- kvCounuy") and me Centennial Valley of M~nrana (pan of "Big- kyCounn: "). TheShimokawa is on Japan's northern-most island. Hokkaido. It is 90 percent forested, \\;th wild bears and wilder snow storms. The Darhat of northern ~longoliais a fenile strip of land bordered by 12,000-foot peaks. The Centennial is set between the Gravelly and Centennial mountain ranges along the Montana/Idaho border.

that affects the land, induding what children learn in school.
"Some of the most productive change comes when local people find ways to improve schools and health," he says.
The three areas might be seen as being at different points on a rime continuum of environmental and economic pressures, says Ttm Swanson, project manager of the
arure Conservancy's work in the Centennial Valley.
Swanson, when he was president of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, worked with Montagne to help start
the Bioregions Program. "Mongolia probably takes the
Greater Yellowstone system back 100 years, and Hokkaido might be what we would be several hundred years into the future," says Swanson.
Though the Shimokawa area is a beautiful mix of wild land, forest and farms, Hokkaido has 6 million people. In all likelihood himokawa will face more population pressure than Montana wild lands are likely to see in the next 100 years, even though a current problem is that younger people are moving away and schools are do ing. The town planner there is Takashi
Kasuga, who spent a emester at MSU as a visiting scholar studying holistic management with Montagne. "When you think about it, towns losing population and having problems with bears sounds a !or like Montana," says Montagne.
The pressures on Mongolia's Darhat Valley are related to grazing and wildlife issues. The reindeer herders who live in the mountains move their camps several times a season. However, the breakup of the USSR and change

r \\'as their mother: her name drea Yates.
f his woman \\'ho is now on for these atrocious acts is ing insanity. I \\'ill concur
this is an appropriate plea for c:cused, because in my opinou ha\'e to be one nurry, sick ·adisticall} evil person ro do she has done. 1e\\'s media
analysts and experts across
thL countr) ha\·e called for a variety of punishments ranging from confinement for life in a mental institurion to execution.
While I would like to go on and on about this horrible creature. there ts somebody who J think 1s being overlooked in this prosecurion. The man in quesnon would be Russell Yates, the father of the murdered children and husband to the accused.
It has been scared that before the couple had concei,·ed their fifth child. their counselor warned that Andrea was uffering from se,•ere depression and sa\\ that it would be unadvisable for her to become pregnant again. What the psychiatrist wa saymg was that Andrea \\'as teetering dangerously on the edge insanity. Even at this point, her husband thought she was not paying ap-
propriate attention ro the children. From this I can deduce only one thing: well before she murdered those babies. she wa an unstable woman.
This makes me wonder: ho\\ dtd she get this wa)? Perhaps it happened completely unbeknO\rn t to her husband, or wa he agitating her state by dominating her and keeping her pregnant in order to confine her to the home? After the doctor warned against future pregnan c1es. Russell Yates impregnated his wife yet again. What does this say about him? I think it says he had a little something to do with the death of their kids. If somebody told me not to impregnate my wife for a fifth time because she might lose her mind. you can be darn sure that my last thought would be to have another child.
M> next move \\'Ould be to secure my children and be sure that they are being cared for properly when I was away from the home.
But something else disturbs me about rh1 man. I do not know too many fathers who could do an interview in t~eir wife's defense after just having heard that she had murdered all five of his children! And even now the man sits in from of the camera as some sort of celebrity with an uncanny grin on his face.
In fact, the way that he acts you would think that his children were never harmed at all. I mean, he is perfectl1 comfortable being a character witness in defense of his wife who murdered all his kids for cr}ing out loud! He sits here smiling all the while telling the CN corre pondem that his wife is nor a bad person and that
he loves her. Throughout time, marriages
have survi,·ed affairs and other scandals and through love the two people were able to forgive and mo\ eon. To me an affair is a prett} big thing, recovering from that is an amazing step. But \\'hen one spouse murders the kids, that seems to be a different story. Perhaps he is a little unstable as well. as I am not ure that I would remain married to a person \\ho bereaved me so bad!).
o what should be done to Russell Yate ? hould they put him in jail as well? Should the prosecutors be looking closer at him as perhaps the spark that ignited Andrea's murderous fire?

thletic fee outrage growing monotonous etter to the Editor
11 I have concluded from ecent articles about the oscd athletic fee increase t journalism is no longer jective report of people
vents. Everything I ha\·e has told me the same ; e,·ery ,\1SU student is ould be) opposed and no arcs that the} are. Odd.
nobody asked me. A literary outburst from
Zach Gildersleeve led me to believe that if I didn 'r jump on the bandwagon of opposition, I am apathetic, slothful. ignorant, un-American, indifferent, and alcoholic. I'm not involved (until this letter) because I am okay with the decision and think the ASi\lSU President is doing a good job. Am I supposed to think othen\ ise because the author ac-
cuses Andy Parker of po litical infidelity without any evidence? Ironic that Gildersleeve would end his article b) calling for" independent, free thinking." \'\lhat if I disagree because of the facts I have learnedr Am I still "free thinking?"
The job of the University Planning. Budget and Anal) -sis Committee is to balance the budget of the uni\ ersity. This includes a $1 million debt. The Board of Regents
requires a balanced budget of every university. It doesn't matter where the debt came from; it exists and must be paid off. The money has to come from somewhere. I would rather pay a bit extra than see funds cut or rerouted from my department. Isn't this in the best educational interest of the students?

Athletic fee increase: Where will the money go?
koetter to the Editor
i\l 'U offici,ils recently released their progrnm co er,1se rhe Sl million athletics' deficit, prinunl) cau ed by the $500,000 annual debt payment on the stadium bonds and the large increase in football coaches' salaries incurred with the hiring of tvtike Kramer -Kramer's srarting salary of $120,000/year alone is more than 60% higher than I lead Coach Cliff Hysell made after 5 years of service.
M U's debr reduction plan includes doubling the student activity fee, which will generate an additional $630,000/year when fully implen1enred in four years. Thus, students will contribute significantly more than half of the total revenue needed to eliminate the deficit, including funds generated by one dollar surcharges on ticker sales, an increase of $120,000. year from Universit} nmds and a reduction of$175,000 in the current athletic budget.
According to rhe Bozeman Daily Chronicle, .. ~1 U officials argued that higher student athletic fees would pa) for student athletes - scholarships, a tutoring center and preseason room and board not for ·radium bonds."
There they go ag.1in! In fact, the mone) raised from students. fans. Universit) funds. and ath letic cuts is fungible. The funds aren't earmarked for specific Line item but for rhe general purpose
of el11111n;.1t1ng che ::01 1111ll1on def1 cit 1t1 athletics operauons
Glenn Lewis, Acting Arhletic Dirccror added msult ro injury when he asked "\X'h.1t promise? I wasn't there."
Of course the "M U officials" quoted are attempting to get around a commitment made by past i\I U administrators to the Montana Board of Regents who appro\'ed the stadium funding that students would not be billed to help pay the annual debt on stadium bonds. o they lie.
It's interesting to note that although the burden is being shared between students, fans, the ath letics department and the university, no university employees will have their paychecks reduced. Fans will pay higher ticket prices voluntarily. Only students' contr1-but1011s are compulsory. Students should find out if their athletic fees will be reduced once rhe $1 million deficit is ehminaced? ! ?
1 U's new President Geoff Gamble has made a refre hing beginning with openness and candor about M U problems, Let' hope that the " 1 U officials" quoted in the Chronicle arncle aren't a throwback to the Malone, l.'arnelVLindemenn regime when deception and double-talk ruled in athletic department finances

~Exponent A college education is about more than just a degree koetter to the Editor
I would like to respond co the article written by one of the Exponent's staff. His pen name is Zach GJdersleeve and his article of ~larch 5, 2002 is not only full of blatant assumptions, but it also ridicules the students that bother to take time to read this paper.
Mr. Gildersleeve begins his assault with athletics. He states that athletics is not lia part" of the college experience. I wonder what cave he has been in and on what small-undeveloped island was he educated? Athletics may not be pan of our scholastic responsibilities bur it certainly is part of our education. This young man has come to believe that a degree makes you educated. A degree is a piece of paper that says that you can be taught and that you can accomplish your goals.

From his C<l\"C on his small und veloped 1 land, Mr. Gildersleeve has ob\'iou ·I} witnessed the recent surge 111 the beef markc:t the ne\\ research and innovarions in b1otechnol marketing, genetics and nutrition that put ;\I c..; students on the cutting edge of the industr\. says that as long as the "family spread" (He hJ~ watching too much Bonanza) is still there w

We as student fund this paper and Mr. Gildersleeve, just as we fund athletics.

March 8 2002 9 ON RC begins hiring for seasonal firefighting positions in Montana ® ssociated Press
Helena, Mont.-The Mon ran a Deparunent of Natural Resources and Conseivation (DNRC) is now accepting applications for seasonal fire-fighting positions for the 2002 fire season. More than a hundred positions are available in locations throughout Montana.
As a state agency, the DNRC has direct fire (initial anack) protection over five million acres in Montana. This includes forested lands, grasslands, as well as private and federal lands. To accomplish this mission, the DNRC hires seasonal employees to fill numerous roles during a fire season.
According ro Forestry Division Administrator and Stare Forester Don Artley. the DNRC seasonal positions are a wonderful employ-
ment opportunity for college students, teachers, or anyone who is available during the summer months.
"Summer jobs are often hard to find for Montanans. These seasonal positions require only that the individual possess a valid Montana driver's license, be 18 years of age and be physically fit enough to pass a pack test.
"From there, the DNRC will train these men and women to do the critical job of protecting lives, structures, and resources from the inevitable fires that will plague Montana during the summer months," he said.
For the upcoming fire season, the DNRC has altered its approach to fire-seasonal pay to help retain and attract individuals to the firefighting business. A pay exception, which was implemented last
year, is again available this coming summer for seasonal firefighters. This helps DNRC ensure that the most qualified and competent wil<lland firefighters are hired.
The application deadline for DNRC firefighting positions is March 29. However, if a minimal number of applications are received, the deadline will be extended. Applicants should doublecheck their applications for signatures and make sure that any appropriate supplemental information is included with the submitted application.
For more information regarding the firefighting positions, or application information, contact your local job service office or visit the Montana Job Service on rhe Internet at http:/ / discoveringmontana.com/css/ sratejobs/statejobs.asp.
Ma)Cr: Southern sounds and rhythms CC)ontinued from page 1 I
"Ir's hard for me to rake a stand," sings Mayer. "When I would rake her anyway I can."
Mayer's worship for the opposite sex shows itself again in track four, '"Your &xly Is A Wonderland." In this rune, Mayer expounds on the joys associated with loving his particular lady. 'TU never !er your head hir the bed/ Without my hand behind it," sings Mayer's sultry voice, which then goes on to tell his love, "Your body is a wonderland."
The saucy, sexy, hem') bass line takes the song away into a world of funk and groove while Mayer starts on the Official Barry \'\'hire
"Damn, Baby" breakdown. On the album's remaining
tracks, Mayer shows off his amazing ability ro manipulate and phrase words. He possesses a unique, lyrical dexreriry, reminiscent of Joni Mitchell or James Taylor, which allows him to describe something so simple and ordinary and yet make it sound fascinating and rare.
In "My Stupid Mouth" he describes himself as "playing a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shakers" Juring an awkward silence. Another prime example of his deft lyrical nature comes in "83," where he describes his brother Ben Js looking "just like
his brother John/But on an 18 month delay."
The musician ship on the album is also very impressive. The ounds and the way Mayer presents
them are together quire rough to resist. Mayer's electric, bluesy guitar plays freely and with genuine passion. Yet, his riffs never overtake a song. He always leaves room for the rhythm section.
All in all, Room For Squares is a phenomenally accomplished album for uch a young musician. His songs are reju\'enating and hypnotic. In rhe end, Room For Squares is the sound of John Mayer as he yearns, as he celebrates, as he wonders.
