"The language that SB 238 seeks to remove has never waived a National Guardsman's fee," said Sgt. Roger Hagen, lob­byist for the National Guard.

Sen Daryl Toews and Sen Mignon Waterman were instru­mental in developing the bill. Both senators were on the In­teriin Committee for Post Sec­ondary Education on Policy and Budget in 1998, when it con­cluded that it was necessary to eliminate the waiver from the list.

"Tt was introduced to pro­vide fee waivers, but it was sup­posed to have money," Waterman said. "Now the re­sponsibility has been given to the university system and the Board of Regents."

"I think we should be sup­porting unfunded mandates," said Waterman. "Beyond that, this waiver also threatens the Board of Regents with bad pub-

ASMSU to curb parking problems Bv SHANNON BANKA

Exponent writer

For more than 20 years, students have been com­plaining about the parking at MSU. The complaints have ranged from dim lighting, availability of spaces and the dis-

years ago the average sticker cost only $35.

According to Erik Challeen, ASMSU senator, parking revenue brings in ap­proximately $600,000 -$700,000 a year. Of that, $300,000 is put into mainte-

geting, "All of the money parking generates is immedi­ately put back into parking upkeep and maintenance. Not a dime has ever gone to anything but the parking op­eration."

Last year alone, MSU spent over $2 million to renovate of the

tance from parking lots to buildings.

The ASMSU senate is currently forming a commit­tee to develop solu­tions to the park-

Love can be provided in many different forms, gener­ated through diverse acts, and spoken through a plethora of mediums in communication.

It is the one day of the year that we all take time out of our hectic schedules to ac­tually appreciate, admire, and honor others with which we share our life.

It's not easy being sick at coll1•

I am recently recover­ing from the "Crud That Has Been Going Around." When I first got it, I mistook it for the E. Bola virus, but my doctor, nurse and emergency techni­cians all assured me that it was merely a case of the flu . I don't do well when I'm sick. I tend to regress to somewhere near the fetal stage, maybe even back to an embryo. Luck­ily, my parents live in town. Because, when you get sick, you have to hightail it back for some good old-fashioned baby­ing.

The very worst part of getting sick is that stupid help­less feeling you get. You're just sitting

else's notes and hack the thing out late that night. So, there you are, hunched over the key­board, coughing enough to dis­lodge vital internal organs, but, by God, that paper is go­ing to be done! Don't kid your­self. It's going to suck. But it WILL be done!

Another valuable les­son that I learned is that the dorms are no place to be sick. The once-happy and friendly rooms where you experienced your first breaths of indepen­dence, with your little fridge and your cable t.v., is now a tiny cubicle of doom; a prison hospital, its cinder block walls

there by yourself, maybe listening to the germs partying inside your body cavity, and you feel so terribly alone and powerless. At the

end of every cough-ing fit is that hor­rible.brain-numbing feeling that there is absolutely nothing you can do except be sick.

I don't have any mis­conceptions about being sick, though. My girlfriend, actually worries about missing school and work. This "Work Ethic" is pretty much incomprehensible to someone like me who, at the first sign of a sniffie. immedi­ately crawls under the co"ers and starts making out his Last Will and Testament.

And now I have to play catch-up at school. You know, your professors act like it's somehow YOUR fault for get­ting ill a nd so they just casu­a lly remark that there's a pa­per due on those lectures you missed due the next class, but, don't worry, you don't get any extra time to work on it, but you can try to steal someone

Montana State has sev­eral dorms that are not located near any of the parking lots. This often puts people in the dangerous situation ofhavingto walk through dark lots to get to their dorm.

In the past few years, sev­eral universities have been sued after incidents in which stu-

dents were physically harmed while on campus property. In each case, the court ruled in fa­vor of the student, claiming the university had a duty of reason­able care to protect its students. If the university has a duty to protect its students from any foreseeable dangers on campus, lighting and parking lot loca­tions could prove to be a liabil­ity to the university.

Larry Garcia or whoever it was, the crowd was definitely ready to hear some reggae. The Reggae Revolution took the stage and opened with "Are You Ready?" It was obviously a rhetorical question.

The Reggae Revolution played two more songs, includ­ing Bob Marley's classic "Exo­dus," before pausing. At this point, Pato urged everyone in the audience to take a moment to meet the people around them. I saw lots of hand­shakes and backslaps. Pato, "perma-grinning" and con­stantly in motion, radiat.es the kind of goodwill that brings total strangers together.

Whether playing their own songs or covering Bob Marley classics, the eight members of the Reggae Revo­lution (saxophone, trombone, keyboards, two drummers, bass, guitar and Pato on vo­cals) nattily attired in stylish black and white, inspired the crowd with choreographed dance moves.

After a few more songs, Pato segued into a couple of cannabis legalization an­thems-"Letter to the Presi­dent" and "Don't Sniff Coke." He invited a young woman from the audience up on stage to sing the part of the coke dealer during "Don't Sniff

Girls with guitars Williams and Griffin give great performance BY AMANDA RIDER

Exponent wraa

Girls with guitars -that's what the Bozeman mu­sic scene was treated to when Lucinda Williams came to town on Monday night. Singer/songwriter Williams and surprise opener Patti Griffin thrilled a near-capac­ity crowd at the Emerson Cul­tural Center with songs of heartache, pain and love.

Griffin opened the show with songs from her recent a l­bum, "Flaming Red." Playing solo, she rocked the crowd with a mix of bluesy folk, sweet vocals and poignant lyrics. Finishmg her set with "Mary," a song about her grandmother, Griffin told the crowd how lucky she felt to be touring with William:; and that "you guys are in for a big-

ger treat than you know!" Williams fulfilled that

promise as she and her band (a mix of drums, accordion, steel guitar, bass and various other instruments) played songs off her long anticipated a lbum , "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road." Taking the au­dience on a virtual road trip across America, Williams re­counted trials and tribula­tions of love in "Can't Let Go," "Right in Time" and "Jackson." A native southerner, Williams uses this background to sing about heartache and loss in

"Greenville" and "Lake Charles."

Sure, it was ugly. But winning ugly is a whole lot better than

losing ugly. The Montana State University Lady'Cats

defeated the Northern Arizona Lady Lumber­jacks, 59-54, last night in what was the ugliest Lady 'Cat home game of the season.

"We make all these games interesting," said Montana State head coach Tracey Sheehan. "Northern Arizona is very scrappy, they double and triple team us. I told the girls at halftime they better swing their hands through the defense to get a shot up or sit down and cry about it, they got the job done."

In a first half that was highlighted by a dismal 18.8-percent shooting by Montana State, the Lady 'Cats used solid defense to stay in the game and only trail by five at the half.

"If you are out of sync on offense, you have to get the job done on defense," Sheehan said. ~we went out and did that."

Montana State scrapped their way back into the game in the second half as they climbed to within three with 15 minutes to play, only to see the Lady Lumberjacks hit a few more shots and extend the lead to five again.

Montana State finally grabbed a two-point lead withjust under eight minutes to play when sophomore Serena Merrill hit a base-line jumper to give the Lady 'Cats a 37-35 lead.

For the next mmutes, the Lady 'Cats traded baskets with Northern Arizona until the Lady Lumberjacks took a one-point lead with less than two minutes to go, only to see MSU pull ahead again.

Two free throws by Northern Arizona's RaeAnn West with seven seconds to go tied up the game and sent it into overtime.

Montana State dominated the overtime period, never trailing, and went on to w111 59-54.

The Lady 'Cats were led on the evening by Senior Tennyson Ballek who finished the game with 18 points.

The win for the Lady'Cats sets up a show­down with Cal State Northridge on Saturday night. A win on Saturday night would almost lock-up the Big Sky Conference regular season title for Montana State, meaning that they would host the Big Sky Tournament, with a bid to the NCAA tournament on the line.

"Hostmg the tournament is very impor­tant to us," Ballek said. "That has been Jamie's <Spring) and my goal since we were freshmen, but we have to take care ofSaturday night first."

Lady ~cats closing in on title With an overtime 1992-93 season. was standing in second

With a 10-2 conference place in the conference win over Northern Ari-zona on Thursday com­piled with a Cal State N orthridge loss to the University of Montana, the Montana State Uni-versity Lady 'Cats are closing in on their first conference title since the

mark, the Lady 'Cats are now one-and-a-half games ahead of Northridge, who they will play on Saturday night.

A win on Saturday night will give Montana State a two-and-a-half game lead over Northridge, which

coming into the week­end.

The game against Northridge will be a re­match of a conference game earlier this season when Northridge de­feated the Lady 'Cats.

y to see the Lumber­ull away to a five-

point halftime lead and a fi­nal 82-67 win.

The Bobcats came out and started the game hot, hitting key shots from the floor en route to an early one-point lead. But the Lumberjack attack, led by point guard Kawika Akina, was too much for the 'Cats as they shot 50 percent from the floor to open up the game in the final 10 minutes of the first half.

The 'Cats kept within single digits in the second

half only to see Northern Ari­zona explode again late in the game and hit key free throws to give them the 15-point win.

Due to the late start time of the game in Flag­staff, complete results, sta­tistics and an interview with head coach Mick Durham were unavailable to the Exponent.

The loss for the Bobcats drops their conference record to 7-5 while the first-place Lumberjacks raised their

league-leading mark to 9-2. Montana State's slim

hopes of hosting the post-sea­son Big Sky conference tour­nament may have slipped away with the loss to North- .. ern Arizona as the Lumber­jacks now hold a two-and-a­half game lead over the Bob­cats with five games to go.

1 Winter snowmobile trip into Yellowstone worth the troubJ B) SAYRE SMI rll

Exponent Outdoors Columnist

Last weekend I had the privilege of going into Yellowstone National Park with some of my friends. We had access to some snowmo­biles, so we took advantage of the situation and decided to go into the park and watch Old Faithful.

We left town at about two in the afternoon and soon arrived at the west entrance to the park. It was an over­cast day and the snow had just begun to fall over the mountains. We were very for­tunate to have good durable sleds, and the ride was going very well. The roads could have been a lot smoother, but we were one of the last groups to go in and the trails had seen a lot of traffic.

Everything was going fine until we lost the belt on one of the sleds and discov­ered a leak in the fuel line at

the same time. We were into Yellowstone about six miles or so, and we had to tow the one sled back to town. We ex­changed it for an older model and were soon back at the park entrance to give it an­other try.

The second trip proved to be a much better one and the views were spectacular. We observed numerous ducks, geese, elk, buffalo and a bald eagle. Our first stop was at the Firehole swim­ming area, where we slid down the hill to the water's edge. We watched a duck swim through the rapids, looked at a cave on the other side and then decided to move on. The elk we saw were usually bedded down next to the rivers but we saw a rather nice bull elk on the flats just outside of Old Faithful.

When we finally arrived at the infamous geyser, we could not have timed it more

perfectly. We hadn't been there for five minutes when the hole in the ground began to steam and come to life. This was the first time I had seen Old Faithful go off in the winter and it was twice as spectacular. There were buf­falo walking a long the tree line in the background, and the tourist count was way down. We asked a man to take our picture in front of the sign and then we hiked back to the lodge and ate a snack on the steps. We were a little bit disappointed the lodge was boarded up for the winter, but we settled for just looking through the windows at the main entrance.

On our way back to the snowmobiles, we came face to face with a coyote. I had never been that close to one before and he didn't seem to be afraid of us.

Finally, we decided to head back home. By this time, it was getting dark

and we needed to get some gas. We went to the gas sta­tion at Old Faithful but it were closed. It was 5:05 p.m. and they had closed at five sharp. The sled I was riding had about a third of a tank of gas left but we thought that we could make it back. The other two sleds had a half of a tank left, and we figured that if we had to tow mine, it would not be for very far. We got back on the snowmobiles and started the long and very bumpy trek back home.

The sky was amazing at this time of night. The gey­sers were putting out steam all over the place, but the pink tint that the sky por­trayed is what amused me. It was even more amazing when you saw the giant masses of the buffalo feeding on and around the geysers. It made me wonder how they knew where to step. I would have hated to see one step through

took dead last in last summer's World Cup held in France and one of its losses was to this same German team (with the exception of a few players). Only 4 play­ers from Germany's World Cup team played in the game on Saturday, but a win against any German team is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. This was the first ever win for the U.S. against Ger­many. With last summer's World Cup nightmare, the U.S. soccer program looked like it was headed back in time when it was just a pushover, but Saturday's vic­tory was yet another move in the right direction.

The most impressive fact is that the U.S. fielded a team that was similar to the German team, meaning they didn't have th eir strongest team on th e field. Recently named head coach Bruce Arena started players who didn't make the team that failed in France. Developing the younger players in the program is the key to success for the U.S ..

Soccer is truly the uni­versal game. More countries than are in the United Na­tions play soccer. It is a uni­versal language, understood by almost everyone. Anyone can play it, young or old, male or female. You don't have to

be a 7-foot giant or a 350-pou nd beefcake w h o can bench 400 lbs. All you need is som e physical shape and co­ordination. And soccer is th e ultimate skill, for its U.S.e of feet and head instead of hands.

Women's soccer is grow­ing exponentially. This has a lot to do with Title IX, the fed­eral law that requires gender equality in intercollegiate sports. This summer the U.S. hosts the 1999 Women's World Cup and is one of the favor­it,es, because of winning and placing third in the last two competitions, respectively. Soccer has also increased the visibility of women, especially

in Islamic countries where women must wear face veils in public. When Iran qual i­fied as t h e t h ir ty-secon d team at las t year 's World Cup, women flocked to the streets of Tehran joining in celebration-much to the cha­grin of Islamic tradition.

Soccer probably comes in fifth in popularity among the professional sports in America. Soccer has never had a lockout. They have never had a shortened sea­son or cancelled an entire season for that matter. Soc­cer does have its share of problems, but has never alienated its fans like the other professional sports.

Legal representation m the 90's is something that al­most everyone will nero at some point. For students who can't afford the outrageous rates of private lawyers, ASMSU of­fers legal services for every­thing from divorce to misde­meanor defense work.

ASMSU Legal Services lawyer Phyllis Bock has been providjng services to stu­dents since 1982. Bock pro­vides legal advice, representa­tion and mediation. She also re­views contracts for the univer­sity.

For years Montana has fallen far below national stan­dards in terms ofhighcr educa­tion benefits for Guardsmen. In most states, it is assumed that the National Guard will support its members when they go to col­lege. Forty-one States provide some assistance for their Guardsmen, usually around 75 percent. Seventeen of those States provide 100 percent tu­ition assistance. Montana is one of only five states that gives Guardsmen nothing in terms of state assisted benefits.

"Th.is is your Guard, they work hard at the State level, we think they're special and we should give them something," Hager1 said.
