The Bozeman film festi­val brings 1vlichael Moore's film ro Bozeman this ''eek

Moore i the filmmaker who Jirecred the film '·Roger & \le'' which de­tailed the General Motors layoffs in the late eighties which preceeded the mo,·e­ment of se,·eral job and factories to Mexico. He is also the author of rhe book "Stupid White Men" which criticizes president Bush and other parts of the cur­rent and recent government administrations.

"Bowling for Colum­bine" is a eclectic look at the current state of violence in America in its rela ti on to guns and gun ownership. Moore uses a w ide variety of

perspecti\ es to try and find the root of America's appar­ent obsession with violence . The title is baseJ loosely on the reports thar the two stu­dent shooters went bowling rhe morning of rhe shootings and what caused them to at­tack their school.

Moore interviews a wide \'a riery of prominent

figures in his quest co find answers . He sirs down with

Moore uses many aspects of American culture to illus­trate his point about violence

in America. He visits Lockheed-Martin, a military contractor, which is located just miles from Columbine high school. He also uses \'ideo games, music, the a­r ional Rifle Association, welfare-to-work programs and chool safety as subjects to study the issue of vio­lence in America.

Sen. Kim Hansen, D­Harlem. became aggravated when another senator sug­gested that fear of being ticketed for open container will prompt more littering as motorists discard the e\'i­dence. The issue is more se­rious than that, he said.

''I'd rather pay a fine for my daughter littering than pay for a funeral for my daughter or someone else," he said.

Those voting against the bill were Keith Bales, R-Ot­ter; Gebhardt; Laible; Jerry O' eil, R-Kalispell; Don Ryan, D-Great Falls; Debbie

of Merlot could get a little more expensive, under a proposal to

raise the state tax on beer and wine. Critics of rhe idea told a leg­

islative committee Thursday it will hurt those who brew, distrib­ute, sell and buy those products. They also warned it could some­how jeopardize malting barley facilities planned for Montana.

But supporters argued the money is needed at a time when the state is struggling with a projected budget deficit of $232 million, and alcohol is an acceptable place to find some of the needed money.

House Bill 318 by Rep. Stan Fisher. R-Bigfork. is one of the few tax increase proposals to come from Republicans, who mostly have preferred to deal with the deficit through spend­ing cuts or money transfers.

The bill would increase the tax on beer 3112 rimes and nearly double the 27 -cent tax on a liter of wine to 47 cents. Fisher estimated the change for beer would be about an additional 28 cents per six pack.

He said his proposal is more reasonable than ome bills that rec­ommend punitive-size increases in the cigarette tax as a way of finding money. Targeting that conunodity, he said, would create a massive black market for cigarettes.

Fisher acknowledged wholesalers and retailers will pass on the higher rax to con­sumers, but said he doesn't be­lieve the price increase will dis­courage consumption.

Black and white

@ Brian Clark tlonaoinQ Editor

lonrru1a is a srare that is 90.6 percent white. Only 0.3 percent of the remaining 8.4 percent re­ported themselves in the 2000 census •IS African American. The obvious conclusion is that \\'hices and blacks have ,·ery Ii.mired in­teraction in our nation' fourth largest state.

However, che perception of \\'hether blacks and white are treated equally is a national \'te\1'­poinc anJ one char is i.mporrruit ro dissecr whether you live in Harlem, Mont. or Harlem, 1ew York City.

In a recent poll conducted b) ABC ews and The \\ 'ashingron Post. whites ruid blacks were asked a series of questions about race re­lations in America. The results of this poll show that the majority of whites think race relations are good, while African Americans see much less improvemeor in the struggle for civil rights.

The poll also included a com­parison between how Americans percei\'ed race equality in 1997 and how they see relations now, six years later. The resulr was a sraggering 20 point climb. Fifry­four percent of whites chink that "race relations in U are excel­lent or good." ln 1997 . that num­ber was 3 3 percent. Blacks feel thar a similar impro\'ement ha~ been made, with a rise from 2-l percent in 1997 to -l-l percent no\1. All signs o r chis poll show that the A.men

Americans say race relations are gettins better, but have they really improved?

can people feel that racial relations are getting better aml rhere has been ome signi.llcant ad\'ancemenr in the way we rrear each other in the pa t six years.

I wonder, whar strides have we made? Is racial profiling less common than it wa six years ago? 1 <loubr ir.

Likewise, the state of ew J erse) was forced e arlier thi s month ro pa) S775 ,000 ro 12 mororists who were the victims of rncial profil­ing. These are but two recent and disturbing examples of authority figures basing judgement on ethnicity and not character, and pomc to a large sysrem1c problem.

The problem I would most like to irn·escigace is rhe percep­tion that whire Americans posse s viewing that their black counter­parts have equal opportunities.

ln the ABC ews/\Xlashing­ron Pose swdy, only 28 percent of bl acks felt that they were treated equally in the hanJs of the police, however more than twice as many whites, 66 percent, felt that blacks recei\'ed fair treatment. This is an extraordinarily large gap that suggests that black feel persecuted because of racial proG.ling, while the majoriry of whites are either una\\'are of chi persecution or think that African Americ.ms suf­fer from some orr of delusion.

Just Jessop, Intramural Equipment Room, gave up his Christmas break to work for the department. Justin filled shifts that amounted to 40 hours a week during this break. of course this left him to do everything ranging from the ID Desk to equipment check out to custodial duties to manual labor moving machines for repair to checking on the student weight room and the cardio/circuit room. I know the gym users appreciated having full facility services throughout the holiday and much of this was made possible because of Just1n. Thanks Justin, for staying around throughout the holid1\ys to help keep our facility open.
