2 Opinions, Editorials and Letter from the Montana State University Community

Liddy Dole's gender isn't~ in' Sandy Grady Knight-Ridder NIWSlllllll'S

WASHINGTON - Nobody jogged further toward the presidency in high heels than Elizabeth Dole. But in the end, charm couldn't pay the bills.

Her 2000 dance ended in a musty hotel room with husband Bob trembling and wiping tears by her side.

Beneath her bubbly Southern perkiness, there was an edge of bitterness.

"It's futile to go on," said Elizabeth Dole "The bottom line is money. It's one thing to be outspent 2-to-1 or 10-to-1, but 85-to-1 is overwhelming."

Doomsday came when she

"We11 make history,~ she said at the beginning. Her rallies drew crowds of young professional women. "You could see them sit up straighter, inspired," she said.

But the women's crusade for Dole didn't materialize. Her staff, who thought money would roll in, found themselves cash-starved. She foundered in polls. Dole was betrayed not only by male bigotry but by anemic support of her own gender.

While it's cruel to say about a likeable, smart woman, Elizabeth Dole was not a strong ran<lidate.

The sensation she created at the 1996 Republican convention, working the audience for her husband like a talk-show hostess, didn"t

translate on the 2000 campaign trail. She was fizzy,

looked at her checkbook, $850,000 in funds, $300,000 in bills, big debts ahead.

The run for the presidency is still a Boys Only Game. Women of the 1990's can be CEO' s, cab drivers, sports stars and senators. Make a move toward the

Oval Office, and they're stopped cold by a Grand Canyon-size gender gap.

Once again, the whale was chasing minnows from the Republican 2000 pool.

"I couldn't compete against those with huge private fortunes or a pre-existing network of supporters," said Dole, meaning Steve Forbes and Bush.

Sure, she was muscled out of the money crapshoot. But in the end, l suspect Dole was doomed by her gender. The run for the presidency is still a Boys Only Game. Women of the i99o's can be CEO's, cab drivers, sports stars and senators. Make a move toward the Oval Office, and the) 're stopped rolcl by a Grand Canyon-size gender gap.

"The White House is the ultimate tree house," said ex-Rep. Pat Schroeder, who tearfully pulled out of the '92 race. "A sign says, 'No Girls Allowed."'

After all, what woman had brighter credentials than Dole, who held important jobs under LBJ, Nixon and Reagan and ran the Red Cross? Didn't matter. In a CNN poll, 53 percent of men said they wouldn't vote for her.

And women's enthusiasm for Dole waned.

gave a reason why she was running for president.··

Except for her heresy on gun control, Dole uttered vague Republican themes. She was slow to organize and raise funds. Her campaign peaked the moment she left the Red Cross, then slid into futility.

Basically, I suspect Dole had trouble with the Imagination Test. People listening to a presidential candidate subconsciously ask, "Can I imagine him (or her) facing a national crisis about nuclear war or a depression?"

Maybe Liddy flunked. Or we're not ready for high heels in the Oval Office.

When she withdrew from the :woo rare, supporters began pumping up the trial balloon: Liddy for Veep, presumably on a ticket with Bush.

"She'd be a great No. 2," said Republican pollster Linda Divall. "She has celebrity, personality and a record.

"She'd help the party's dour, scolding image."

candidate, both parties are wary. They want the female vote, but no risk.

George W. doesn 't seem likely to gamble Republicans'

PETA: Fishermen not off the hook continued from page 2

The real question becomes where to draw the ethical line. PETA is privileging some animals like biggarneover other animals, like bugs. Do big game animals seem more deseiving ofhumane treatment than spiders? Nobody holds protests when h erds of cockroach are gruesomely bludgeoned to death with rolled­up newspapers. The ethical treatment of animals should concern how an animal dies, and why. Torture, mutilation, and bestiality: bad. Mass murder of Park bison, or poisoning where fish spawn: bad. Killing and eating elk back straps: not bad at all.

Where do we draw the line? Pretty soon, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Vegetables (PE1V) will come forward, and imagine the ethical problems then! Mowing your lawn would be considered murder; the screams of tender )'OUng blades, chopped in half. Think of the atrocious butchery that making dinner would involve: hacking the eyes out of potatoes, chopping heads of lettuce, the sadistic peeling of carrots.

None of us, carnivores or

not, would be here today if our ancestors had not killed and eaten animals. Sometimes, it was gruesome. And if that death were happening for a reason-a good reason, like being eaten for survival- would that still be unethical? People evolved as omnivores: we are specifically made to eat both meat and vegetation. Vegetarianism is fine, although it is difficult to get the propernutrition. Toeathealthily­while not having to eat bean curd and take iron supplements- is to eat meat.

What is really humane? It's strange how some measures people take to show how highly we uphold animals are the very things that kill them and disrupt the natural cycle of life and death.

For example, catch-and­release fishing is also poor sportsmanship: many released fish quicklydie when thrown back in the water, after "the big one's" picture is taken. A show of concern for the life of the fish often translates into k eeping them out of the water too long, or releasing them too injured from the hook to live. Throwing them back in the water only to die a mile upstream is more ofa waste than enjoying it fresh out ofa frying

pan. Why fish or hunt if you're not going to eat it?

Undeniably, animals should be treated with respect. PETA has brought to light some horrific treatment of animals. Everybody is familiar with the image of dermatologists pouring shampoo or window cleaner into the unblinking eyes of rabbits, held open with metal clips. An animal should not be treated with such disrespect. But most hunters in Montana do treat their prey with respect, in their own way. A clean, painless shot through the heart is considered a successful shot I don't know any hunters who are oblivious to the respect and humane treatment that an animal's life deserves, even as they kill it

So when you or your neighbor put on that plastic fluorescent orange vest, it's probably not to go murder large game in cold blood. Llke all sports, hunting and fishing require a respect and understanding of the opponent. Guns don't murder animals­people murder animals. But usually not during hunting season.

The results are in. Votes for ASMSU

Senate elections have been counted, and this week ASMSU welcomed ten new senators into MSU's student government.

Held last Tuesday and Wednesday, the elections saw a higher voter turnout than years past, partly because the polls were open for two days instead of one, according to ASMSU President Jared Harris. Exact voter t urnout numbers were not available

as of Monday night. The results are as

follows: On Campus : Stephanie

Schmidt, Patrick Schuler, and Hillary Parsons.

Off Campus: Nick Tooler and Daniel Grotenhouse.

Greek: Andrea Marable The new senators \\.ill

Harris was pleased with the way the elections went, and gave credit to all the candidates who ran.

"They were all pretty close elections.- Harris said. "There were a lot of qualified candidates."

The group is also working to increase the number of students who successfully kick their smoking habits. Through its ties to a state agency - the Florida Health Department - the group hopes eventually to receive financial support from the federal government.

Group members said they'll continue to build on initiatives that have curbed smoking among Florida's

A study released earlier this year showed that students who live on campus are six times more likely to get meningococcal meningitis than students living off campus. Crowding in dorms, student exhaustion and other factors, such as exposure to alcohol or tobacco smoke, were cited.

Tellin' tales and playin' the blues at the train station P.J. DelHomme Exponent Writer

At fir:.t glance. Alvin Youngbl0<xl Hart looks more like a R.1stafarian linebacker than a blues musician. But once he sits down and begins to play he takes on a likeness .ill his mrn.

the corner. Just then, my guitar started to take on a personality of its own. It started to talk to me. Kinda' like a crack pipe talkin" to Richard Pryor.··

Before he got into a Cl)\ er of Charlie Patton's "Pony Blues," he e:-..plained his love for Patton's mu;;ic. "He \\as the king around our parts. not that other king." After he began to pla:-.-, members of the fort\-something crowd began to shO\\ signs of life. Slm, I), legs hegan to keep a beat while other S\,ayed a little in their seats.

Many ofHart's stories and songs reflect his experiences while living and working in .Mississippi. Hart likes to think of his river-boatin' during a seven year stint in the Coast Guard as "kinda like Fred and Barney goin' campin'." His instrumental tune "Ouachita Run" is a beautiful reflection of his river da}~.

After he received a standingovation,Hartcameout for one more song and, of course, one more story. As it turns out the song was an old Leadbelly tune ahout capital punishment. ~Gallows Pole," made popular by Led Zeppelin, is a story about the time of Queen Elizaheth. Hart likes to tell the story of what Queen Eliz.abeth has in common with the blue->. 'You see, King Henry took it upon himself to remove the head of Piincess Elizabeth's mother. So now, Eli.7.abeth had the blues."

attraction merge with strange eclectic noises and twisted guitar lilts. The album's intro piece, "Ondina," an ode to a female carnival dancer, describes her mesmerizing movements, as people stand frozen in a fixed stare.

get this buzz-off that, that's metaphor," he said in an interview for his album.

Saturday nigh t while most MSU students and alumni were waiting in lines at the Crystal and R-Bar celebrating the t radition of Homecoming, a select few were sharing their dreams of what it means to come home.

A group of native Montanans inspired with an idea and tremendous energy created a nine-minute trailer for a movie that doesn't exist... yet.

"Man on Fire" is a story based on actual events about Jimmy Treebom, a native of Montana who leaves to follow his aspirations of becoming a rock star. He succeeds and cl imbs lo the top of the

industry. Treeborn returns to th e Big Sky cou ntry for a "reunion with h is roots tour" <luring which he is haunted by recollections which p lague him. He is so enveloped by the images flashing through his mind that he flees from the concert and disappears.

Treeborn sets off on a "vision quest" in an attempt to uncover his past. Along the way he crosses paths with a young, beautifol artist who has some of her own soul searching to do and after a few run-ins with the law: being charged with grand theft, kidnapping and assaulting an officer, the two inevitably fa.II in love.

10 Shakespeare's language stands the test of time Chrysti the Wordsmith Word Expert

So there is this story about the woman who declared that Shakespeare might indeed have been a fine playwiight, had he not been so bloody addicted to cliches.

This anecdote illustrates, by tl'isted logic. the endurance of Shakespeare's language in the English speaking world. It astonishes that, conscious!! or not. we 21" centur! moderns quote this 161h century bard on an al most daily basis. Shakespeare ·s wDrds and phrases arguabl) shape our thoughts and, often, provide linguistic shmtcuts to our

expression. Consider these familiar Shakespearean phrases: "Flesh and blood," "Vanish into thin air," "In my mind's eye" and "It's Greek to me."

The English of Shakespeare's day was ex.-ploding v.rith new terms boITowed from Latin, Greek, French, Italian and Spanish. The Bard appeared to relish these novel words, for dozens of them appear in print for the first time on the pages of his scripts, these among them: Gust, Summit, Obscene. Leapfrog, and Submerge.

How would we manage without these? We English speakers owe a tremendous debt of grntitutle to the Bard of Avon and to those who pre::.erYed his manuscripts.

Have a beer. Save the planet. Just another day in the life of The American Wildlands, a "science based conservation organization.'' Friday night, the} held the First Annual Northern Rockies Brewfest at the Baxter Ballroom in an effort to help raise funds for their many causes.

Five breweries, including Big Hole, Big Sky, Lang Creek. Spanish Peaks, Snake River and Yellowstone Valley, were on hand distributing tastes of their respective bre>\S.

The Cold Mountain Rhythm Band provided a diverse mix of rock, pop and bluegrass as beer connoisseurs raised their cups, and the roof, for a good cause.

Vintage horror film to haunt Linfield Hal Walter Metz BFF Film Reviewer

On Wednesday, October 27, in Room 125 ofLinfield Hall on the Montana State Universi ty ca mpus, th e

Bozeman Film Festival pr esents "Freaks," a rarely-see n 1 9 3 2 Hollywood horror fi lm. There v.ri ll be t w 0

screenings, at roo and

9:oopm, each beginning v.rith a H alloween costume contest. Spectators are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite ghoulish creatures, in the at temp t to win the coveted prize: lunch at Burger Bob's!

"Freaks" is an exceptional horror film. Made before the 1934 implementation of the Hollywood Production Code, the film features a grim and s hocking realism, as it introduces us to the unsettling lives of performers who are so reviled by mainstream culture that they arc forced to make a living performing in circus sideshows. Yet '"Freaks," as with many of the great horror fi lms, challenges our

e.xpectations about the source of true horror: it is not the circus petforrners who are demonic, it is the abusive actions of the "normal" people around them which cause our fright.

The horrifying nature of mainstream cu lt ure is most clearly explicated by the film's central plot line. A gorgeous trapeze artist learns that one of the "freaks,'' Hans, a meek and affable "little" person (i.e., a "midget"' in politically incorrect terms) has a large amount of money squirreled away. She seduces Hans away from his lover, Frida, another gentle little person, and marries him. When the trapeze artist and her strongman lover decide to kill

Hans for his money, the circus performers band together and collectively fight the brutality and insensitivity of these d ecide dly immoral yet supposedly normal people.

"Freaks" was directed by Tod Browning, whose 1931 Dracula initiated a series of stylish Hollywood monster films most commonly associated with Universal Studios crea tures such as Frankenstein, the Wolf 'l\lan, and the Invisible l\[an. Yet Freaks, despite being a high­gloss studio film made at l\ IGl\1, esch ews the Expressionist­influenced stylization of the Universal films, instead attaining a grim and gritty

realism. While its choice to 1

ATLANTA (AP) _The New York Yankees stormed halfway to their record 25th World Series title, humbling the clumsy Atlanta Braves 7-2 Sunday night for a 2-0 lead.

A night after they waited for an eighth­inning rally to win 4-1, the defending champions wasted no time pounding Braves starting pitcher Kevin Millwood in their 10th straight World Series victory.

The Yankees' David Cone duplicated the one-hit, seven-inning pitching ot Orlando Hernandez in the Saturday's Game l, and Atlanta finished with five hits, three in the ninth inning.

Chuck Knoblauch, Derek Jeter and Paul O"Neill started the game with singles, and Tino Martinez and Scott Brosius delivered RBI singles with two outs. Rick-y Ledee's double chased Millwood in the third, and it was 7-0 by the fifth .

Now, the Braves' best hope is a repeat of the 1996 Series, when New York lost the first two games at Yankee Stadium lo Atlanta before taking the next four.

Game 3 will be Tuesday night in New York with Tom Glavine, scratched from his Game 1 start because of the fl u, pitching for the Braves against Andy Pettitte.

Suspension: Investigation into possible Lady 'Cat rules violation Upon learning that :\lerrill

had decided to lea\'e the Lady 'Cat program. Sheehan was quick to comment on her departure.

"She (:\lerrill) had the opportunit~ to sit down and prioritize her life, and basketball wasn't part of that scenario.·· Sheehan said, in a press release. prior to her

suspension. Three <la~ s after the

meeting bet\' een ~lerrill and Lindemann, the announcement regarding the suspensions \VUS

made. When contacted, l\lerrill

refused to comment on the situation any further.

Lindemann speculated that the investigation into the

rules \'iolation ·hould be concluded within the week and that more information would be aYailable at that time.

Also included in the im estigation are treatment issues in\'ol\"ing coach-player relationships, a phase of the in\'estigation that is being handled by Dr. Allen Yarnell. :-.lontana State's \'ice provost for student affairs.

Although both Yarnell and Lindemann withheld any further comment until steps \\ere made toward a conclusion in the matter, the im estigation seems to be de,·eloping in two separate directions.

The ru l es vio lation, which Lindemann referred to as a "secondary \ iolation of some kind," is currently being in\ estigated by Lindemann and assistant athletic d i rectors Ca l i Sanders and Dan Da\'ies. The player treatment issues in\'Ol\'ed in the in\'es t igation are being handled by Yarnell.

A secon d ary rul es \'iolation, as referred to by Lindemann, is defined by the

ational Collegia te Athle t ic Association (NCAA) as ·· ... one that proYides on ly a limited recruiting o r co mpeti t i\'e ad\ antage and that is isolated or inadvertent in nature ...

Photo brJayThanc Tracy Sheehan shouts out instructions during Lady 'Cat baskt!tbal/ practice last wt!t'k. Sheehan and assistant coach Jtjf.'\1alby were smpended Saturday by the university pending an investigation.

Lindemann has m ade a public assurance that the school will self-repo rt any violations the w omen's basketball program may haw made.

Friday night's game, a 15-11, 12-15, 15-11, 12-15, 15-12 loss for MSU, was dominated by CSS Hornet senior Angela Lewis, who tallied a match­high 32 kills and added 28 digs to pace the Hornets.

'"I thought we played a nice match," said Gantt. '"It was one of the best defensive games I've been associated with during my tenure at MSU. Unfortunately, we made some untimely hitting errors, but overall this was a great effort by our kids.··

Montana State broke the school record for most digs in a match with 141 against the Hornets, including a career high, 32, by Heather Dolan.

"Heather came out of no where to dig up some volleyballs that should have hit the floor," Gantt said.

The loss to CSS on Fi;day night was marred by an official no call on a play where a member of the Hornets reached over the net and interfered \\1th a pass by the Bobcats. The call was not made, re.suiting in a side out for CSS that eventually led to the end of the match.

Montana State will be back in action this week travelling to the Southwest to take on Northern Arizona on Thursday evening and Cal. State North ridge on Saturday.
