SCientists confidentliquid water oncefiowed on Mars

The findings of the investigation thefirst of its kind in the nation eclipsedthe generally estimated infection rateof about 1 percent to 2 percent andsuggest that Japan has among the worstrates of infection in the world

Left untreated chlamydia can dam-age the female reproductive organs andcause serious complications includinginfertility 90 swift steps arc required tostem the spread of the disease

Previous surveys on chlamydia in-fections tended to be based on peoplewho had sought treatment for STDs atmedical facilities with infection ratesassumed to be highest among peoplein their 20s at 1 percent to 2 percent

But the Asahikawa Medical Collegesurvey was the first to reveal the trueextent of the diseases prevalenceamong high school students many ofwhom are unaware they are infectedwith chlamydia

The disease is known as a silent dis-ease because thoseinfected often showno symptoms

WASHINGTON - After studyingthousands of images from Mars sci-entists are now convinced that liquidwater once flowed on the surface of thered planet increasing the odds that lifemay have existed there in the distantpast

As a result space travelers should actas if there once were and perhaps stillare living creatures on Mars that mustbe protected from destruction or con-tamination according to Jeffery Kargela senior planetary scientist at the USGeological Survey in Flagstaff Ariz

In an article in this weeks edition ofthe journal Science Kargel also point-ed out the risk that earthlings couldbe infected by alien microbes broughthome from Mars

Planetary protection considerationsrequire the assumption that Martianlife exists until we learn otherwiseKargel wrote Before proceeding withsample returns or human missions toMars all possible care must be takento avoid cross-contamination betweenthe Earth and Mars

Proof that there used to be liquid wa-ter on our neighboring planet comesfrom pictures and chemical readingsby a NASArobotic rover inside a craternear the Martian equator Scientistssaid the new evidence removed anydoubts and qualifications thatmarkedprevious claims of finding water

Were certain said Steve Squyresan astronomer at Cornell University inIthaca NY and lead investigator forthe twin rovers that have been explor-ing Mars since January

Groups plan to contestOhio election results

WASHINGTON- Ohio counties cer-tified election results showing thatPresident Bush won the pivotal battle-ground state Nov 2 and with it a sec-ond term But the certification didntyet seal the results and disgruntledgroups alleging vote fraud planned tocontest the statewide result and de-mand a recount

One coalition of disgruntled votersand interest groups plans to seek a re-count Another plans to file a lawsuitwith the state Supreme Court contest-ing Bushs victory

Despite these challenges and ram-pant charges on the Internet thatRepublicans stole the election for Bushin Ohio theres no proof of fraud andtheres no reason yet to think the elec-tion will be overturned

lest Anxiety WorkshopCourt says colleges canbar military recruiters

In a case that pitted academic free-dom against the governments powerof the purse a divided federal appealscourt in Philadelphia invalidated thelO-year-old Solomon Amendment thatrequires universities to give campusaccess to military recruiters or forfeitfederal funding

The 2-1 decision by the US Court ofAppeals for the Third Circuit in a suitby New Jersey law professors and stu-dents was the first to hold that the lawviolated universities free-speech rightsunder the First Amendment

This is definitely groundbreak-lrig said E Joshua Rosenkranz a NewYork lawyer who argued the case onJune 30 for the Forum for Academicand Institutional Rights the Society ofAmerican LawTeachers Inc and sevenothers This is a victory for liberty andequality a victory for conscience overcompulsion

Unless this gets reversed by theThird Circuit or by the United StatesSupreme Court on review Id say this isthe end of the Solomon Amendment

is all that is required unlessyou intend to hunt on a WildlifeManagement Area which rc-quires a WMA permit

Most hunters can reach theirdestination spots in less than anhour something that is rarely saidabout a favored deer stand

Pheasants require dense groundcover Cultivated fields offer hid-ing places abundant food supplyand water Cornfields are favored

Maccabee defeated the Greekarmy after a three-year rebellion

that they had only enough oil tokeep the candles lit for one day

Miraculously this smallamount of oil allowed the candlesto burn for a full eight days whichafforded a group of Jews time toretrieve more oil

THE ARBITER DEC 6 2001

(Letters fo the Editor]

L~~~rEQo(~rbu~fstoyourselfDear Editor

Several weeks ago 1witnessed someone open her car door andthen dump the ashtray out on the street Before 1 go further letme state that 1believe everyone who chooses to smoke has theright to do so Also 1 recognize that not all who smoke disposeof their cigarette butts on the ground especially in the mannerdescribed above However I challenge anyone to walk more than40 feet on campus or downtown and not find a discarded ciga-rette butt I find it hard to believe that those smokers who throwtheir cigarette butts on the ground are also inclined to leave atrail of candy wrappers and beverage containers behind them asthey leave the SUB So 1ask How do these smokers differentiatebetween littering and leaving cigarette butts on the grounds ofa public space I am sure that they are not less civically and so-cially conscious individuals than the rest of the population Is itthe fact that cigarette butts are small and biodegradable Yet if Ileft my biodegradable banana peel on the ground perhaps evencutting it up in small pieces and distributing it as I walked alongI am almost positive that these smokers would view this as an actof littering as would most people

I recognize that in light ofthe serious circumstances in whichwe find the world today that this may not rank very high in sig-nificance However I wonder what impact would occur if we allbecame more aware of how our individual actions and choicesbig and small affect others and our environment

Walk of shameDear Editor

I will be graduating from Boise State University at the end ofthe Pall 2004 semester with a bachelors in visual arts and a phi-losophy minor 1cannot however in good conscience attend thecommencement ceremony being held at the recently renamedTaco Bell Arena The inhumane treatment of farm workers thatis being vicariously supported by that renaming stands in directopposition to the values I had grown to believe BSU stands forHad this renaming occurred earlier in my college career 1wouldhave transferred to a less offensive institution Unfortunately 1will now graduate from Boise

State with my name forever attached io its shameful behaviorin these past weeks 1ask that the ASBSU faculty and staff pleasemake whatever motions arc necessary to buy back the namingrights to the Arena The students and faculty of this universitydeserve better

To my family and friends who have looked forward to my com-mencement I apologize 1am as always grateful for your supportand hope that if you agree with me on this issue that you willexpress as much loudly and strongly

BSU should holdWoodall accountable

The Arbiter Edltorlel Doard

Visiting Assistant Professor Thomas J Woodall is a plagiaristBy his own admission Woodall took words that were not his ownsigned his name to them and submitted them for publication inThe Arbiter

For any student who hasbeen through the rungs of compulsoryeducation and then through those of higher education plagiarismis the deadly sin the deadly sin that will see a student in no uncer-tain terms failed and their name tarnished

Apparently though if you are a visiting assistant professor atBoise State University plagiarism is nothing more than an act ofdeception thats not condoned

If Woodall sees nothing wrong with blatantly and publicly plagiarizing a letter to the edi-tor what makes BSU think Woodall acts any differently in his re-sponsibilities to this institution While it is important that the university not punish professorsfor their thoughts advocacies and politics as private citizens it isequally important that the university not accept academic dishon-esty private or otherwise

By plagiarizing Woodall disgraced our university and by notfiring him Boise State disgraces its students and faculty

For BSU to right this wrong it is absolutely important thatThomasI Woodallbe fired for plagiarizing

Drop in value of dollarhas foreign leaders looking cautiously at us economy

nomic summit about the commit-ment to a strong dollar But In-vestors correctly read the signalsthat the actual policy is to let mar-kets drive the value of the dollardown in an orderly way

The administration sees dollardevaluation as a way to correcta global imbalance It will makeAmerican exports cheaper andmore competitive and importsmore expensive for American con-sumers They are confident theUS remains an attractive placefor the world to park its money

Those currencies that tradefreely - the Euro Canadian dol-lar British pound and lately theJapanese yen - have gone up rap-idly in value against the dollar inthe last few weeks The one major trading partnerthat has escaped so far is Chinawhose currency is fixed to thevalue of the dollar The Chinesewant to keep their exports cheapbut American pressure may force asmall revaluation of its currency

Our trading partners are unhap-py about the dollars slide But thisis needed correction

The danger is the fall will en-courage countries to reduce theirdollar holdings shifting to Eurosgold or Japanese stocks whose val-ue has been rising

The problem for the UnitedStates is that those dollars are now

Internet its free and clearIf one follows Woodalls logic

to its inevitable conclusion anEnglish professor would havenothing to complain about if astudent turned in an essay ofShakespeare that heshe found atone of the many Internet sites thatoffer pre-written papers The stu-dent could say in all sincerity MrWoodall copied something off theInternet and submitted it as hisown so I can too

Such behavior is clearly unac-ceptable And equally unaccept-able Is Mr Woodalls lack of regretfor the incident and lack of ac-knowledgement that he did some-thing wrong It is now impossiblefor him to function as an advocateof Integrity since this is a qualitythat he himself does not possessHe has lost his credibility and can

financing our huge budget defi-cit which will hit $450 billion thisyear The administration has beenunwilling to ask Americans to payfor the war on terror and the warin Iraq

The twin deficits are driven inpart by the growing difference be-tween whatAmericans spend andwhat they earn American savings- both household corporate andof course government savings- have deteriorated greatly in thelast five years

Instead we borrow moneyabroad The dollar holdings ofChina Japan India and otherAsian countries have leapt up fromabout $11 trillion in 2001 to about$18 trillion in 2003 And muchof that is invested in AmericanTreasury bonds and stocks

The Chinese emboldened bythe reality that we depend on theirdollars now happily lecture us onour profligate ways

The savings rate in China ismore than 40 percent the deputyhead of the Chinese central bankrecently told the Financial TimesIn the USit is less than 2 percentSo the problem is that they spendtoo much and save too little

It is true that Americans con-sume more than they produce Butwe can keep doing it up to a pointbecause the folks we import from- mostly but not entirely in Asia

no longer function as an effectiveinstructor

What should be done about thisIf one reads between the lines ofProvost Sona Andrews quotationsin The Arbiter article one con-cludes that Boise State will not orcannot take administrative actionagainst Mr Woodall This is unfor-tunate and perhaps nothing canbe done aboutit But what shouldhappen is that Mr Woodalls res-ignation from his position at BoiseState should be immediately re-quested and he should not returnto his position for the Spring 2005semester Only his departure fromthe Boise State campus will putsuch a shameful episode to rest

- are happy to produce more thanthey consume and to lend us mon-1yto buy their stuff

We are stuck with each other- they are the lenders of last re-sort and we are the consumers oflast resort says Robert Madsensenior fellow at MITs Center forInternational Studies and an ex-pert on Asian economies If theystopped lending we would have alot of trouble If we stopped con-suming they would go into reces-sion

Adevaluationofthedollarshouldencourage Chinese Japanese andothers to spend more onAmericangoods - as well as creating an in-centive for Americans to buy fewerimports Hopefully the adminis-tration will succeed in managingan orderly devaluation and avoida freefall

Ultimately America needs to re-duce a dangerous dependency onforeign lenders The only way to dothat is to save more and to pay forwhat we spend on our ourselvesand our government

When President Bush met theleaders of 20 Asian and Pacific na-tions last week he wanted to talkabout North Korea and Iran Butthose nations had another secu-rity crisis on their minds - the fallof the dollar

The dollar is now down to nine-year lows and there are jitters abouta financial crisis If foreign lenderslose confidence they could trig-ger a free fall collapse of the dollarAs the cost of imports rise infla-tion could jump And interest rates

for banks and homebuyers wouldsoar as investors demand a higherreturn for their greater risk

That nightmarish scenario isprobably overdrawn But the dol-lars drop reflects the belief thatthe American economy is nothealthy

The seeming fact that ThomasJ Woodall plagiarized his letter tothe editor isnt nearly as disturb-ing to me as his lack of embar-rassment when caught A simplesorry directed at both the origi-nal author and at his studentsand faculty peers would be muchmore dignified than Woodallsdefensive comments

Though according to SonaAndrews It [the issue) really fallsoutside the scope of his respon-sibilities as a faculty memberWoodalls actions break basicethical guidelines that we shouldall strive to uphold Ignoring acollege professors ethical indis-cretions because they occur out-

It remains to be seen if he is be-ing harassed but by my standardof scholarship Mr Woodall is aplagiarist

the teams leading scorer andearned the starting position aspoint-guard from the get-go

Boise State should be knownas one of the top recruitmentcolleges in the nation Ifyou takeinto consideration the fact thatour football volleyball soccertrack and even basketball teamshave an underclassman major-ity you can see why Harris fitsright in Head Coach len Wardendoes not take full responsibilityfor finding such a talented youngathlete Coach Warden sharesthe glory with an active recruit-ment panel that works with atremendous team effort towardsa singular purpose She statedthat the staff works incrediblywell together recruiting thesegreat individuals

Harris came to BSU after see-ing what a great team and coach-ing staff they have Her transi-tion from high school to collegeball was smooth gaining experi-ence and improvement over thesummer months With a fasterpace and more physical atmo-sphere at this level Harris cred-its her team when asked aboutthe honor as a starter her fresh-man year

We play well together andchallenge each other Harriscontinues to bring her team frontand center when she referred to acomment from Assistant CoachHeather Sower Anyone personon our team can be at any giventime the leading scorer

forward Cariann Ramirez agreesthat Harris earned her startingposition She opened up ourrunning game a lot She has amore versatile attack as a point-guard This is necessary espe-cially in the WAC Ramirezsfellow team captain and seniorguard Jodi Nakashima adds thatHarris brings the team to a com-petitive level with her intensityand drive

Coach Warden made the com-ment that Harrfs makes theteam captains jobs harder Sheis not seasoned so the captainshave to work to keep her calmand level putting her feet backon the ground Harris is a highlymotivated player Her successcomes from the way these vet-erans have embraced her andencouraged her They breed herconfidence

This is easy to see when youlook at Nakashimas advice toHarris Keep working hardKeep learning Never thinkyou know everything Keepyour drive fire and love for thegame

The theme of the team over individuals is seen in Harris asshe places her career goals inline with the team as a whole Iwould like to see us in postsea-son play I think we are definitelycapable

Warden agrees Atthis level ofplay it is Eat or get eaten Harrisgives us a chance to eat

Technology has begun to levelthe camera playing field

BY PETER WEINBERGERKnight Ridder Newspapers

Looking at digital cam-eras Lets get started

The digital camera is de-signed similar to its film counter-partBoth have automated focus-ingand exposure control comeequipped with a zoom lens andcan look and feel the same

The consumer digitalcamera ($150to $800) offers morefeatures with image quality closeor equal to that of filmcamerasDigital cameras use a light-sensi-tive chip to record an image witha screen on the back to instantlyview and edit images

Here are some tips whenshopping

l Focus on cameras thatrate high in image quality such asthe Canon A-series or most Nikonand Olympus models

2) Hold the camera be-fore buying How does it fit in yourhand Some digital cameras tendto be small Others like the NikonCoolpix 5000 series have built-in grips that make them easier tohold for larger hands

3) The size of an imagefile (print size) a camera produc-es is measured in pixels The morepixels the higher the resolutionMost digital cameras have imagefiles from 2 to 8 mlllion pixels

Your camera should have a mini-mum of 3 mlllion pixels

4) Every camera comeswith a reusable memory card tostore your digital images Thecards the manufacture gives youare small and hold few imagesBe prepared to spend a minimumof $50 extra for a larger card I rec-ommend getting at least a 256mgsize card Lexar is a top brand butslightly more expensive
