Put it on the bill Classified workers unsatisfied with pay increase proposed in House Bill 13 Bv M ARTllA MIDDLEBROOKS

£xpo11e111 News Editor

Negotiations between classified workers and the uni­versity system are set to begin on Wednesday at the Board of Regents meeting in Helena. They will request the univer­sity system go above and be­yond the 3 percent salary in­crease appropriated in House Bill 13.

Debbie Chard, president of the local chapter of the Mon­tana Public Employees Asso­ciation replied, '1t's incorrect to assume that MUS wage in-

cording to C a r o l Bittinger, chair of classified employees, "Since

"It's incorrect to assume that MUS wage increases have to

come from tuition, the university system chooses to

do that."

If passed, House Bill 13 will an estimated $16 million to fund all Montana Univer­sity System (MUS) faculty salaries. Approximately $10 million will be funded by the state.1\-fUS will fund 6 million , the majority of which will come from tuition.

"Any increases above House Bill 13 will come from

that only 35 percent of the university system's revenue is generated by tuiL1on.

While the majority of an increase above what is appro­priated by House Bill 13 will come from tuition, classified workers in auxiliary services and various other offices that generate revenue will not use tuition monies to fund the in-crease.

Tlie struggle of being a guy Bv AsHu0

' BArn Oregon Daily Emerald

The image of an ideal '90s man ranges from feminine to fiendish, but most men lie somewhere hopelessly in-be­tween.

A friend of mine likes to talk about a ll the women he's slept with, about all the hearts he's broken and about how he really doesn't care about those tilings very much at all.

He's a poster boy for men behaving badly, and that's the way he likes it- no smiling in photos, no commitments, no

confessions. He's a brick wall of masculine energy.

But like so many men, he's really a big sissy.

Fashion is a priority, bottles of cologne fill the bath­room, and it takes him 30 min­utes to "sculpt" his hajr on a quick day.

For a guy who cares about so little, he seems to put a lot of stock in what people, especiallywomen, thinkofhim.

Sadly, he is a model to live by for most of his species. We men like to ~lay up our inde-

Accidental death rais questions of mortali

I have been feeling the pressure a lot lately. I don't have the time to do anything that I want, it seems. Saving money for future plans is virtu­ally impossible. Especially as a writer, which guarantees me a future of hardship, it is diffi­cult having to face leaving the comfort-able confines of my hometown and head for the Big City. I have always found the future to be a frightening pros-pect; something that isn't my friend.

Two weeks ago I at­tended the funeral of a good friend of mine from high school, Katie Easton. She died at the age of 19 in an automo­bile accident. The car she was a passenger in slowed down for an oncoming fire engine that was responding to a call. The car skidded on the ice and hit the fire truck. Both Katie and the driver, 19 year-old Sean Miles, were killed in­stantly. It was one of those stupid accidents that was nobody's fault. (I blame ice. Ice has killed many people this year in road accidents, and in the case of Stephen Babcock, falling while skating. We should all endeavor to drive a lot more carefully. A student lost his parents in a car acci­dent due to just a little speed and an icy highway.)

Katie Easton was born in England, and though she lived here for many years, never lost her way-cool accent. I first

met her when her boyfriend and I were making a short comedy film in high school, in which we and some other friends ran around town filming various short (mostly ad-libbed) sketches that we had "written" the night before in a meeting at

couple of months ag she'd driven over from just for the day to han Bozeman. She and I w close as she and mos other friends were. 0 had an idea for a shor and I needed a female

4B's that lasted through SL'C pots of coffee. Katie was a good sport and palled around with us all day long.

We met again later while she worked with one of my best friends at Wendy's so we began to run into each other a lot. She became the first female to break the glass ceiling in our high school com­edy group: Out Of Our Mind (now Coffee). We had been on the air at KGLT for a few years before she started attending our show. I had been com­plaining for years that we'd never had a girl at the show, and there were SO MANY sketches I had that really needed a female. As it was, Katie was relegated to mostly playing secretaries and other cliche female roles.

After I graduated from rugh school, I didn't see Katie much. We'd rnn into each other here or there. In fact, we met up at the Bluejack concert a

Fortunately for men, they aren't the only ones who can't figure out exactly what constitutes "a real man." Even the most die­hard feminists shudder at the thought of a bunch of spineless, ultra-sensitive she-men walking around.

All of this puts men, especially us young guys, in a bit of a quandary. We'd no doubt help ourselves a lot by just being ourselves, and responding to concerns from the fairer sex as they come up.

But I'm not going to pretend that doing so is easy.

For all the women out there at a loss for words about our many deficiencies, I urge a bit of understanding. Sure, we're guilty of creating a lot of our own problems, oft.en comi­cally so. But we also have the hardy task of living among confusion, where masculinity is a valued commodity, but often measured only in doses.

There's no getting around it - this film is controversial, maybe even sick and evil. If I know the Zeitgeist, that sentence should fill the Rialto.

Five twenty-somethings go Lo Las Ve­gas for a wild bachelor party before one of them gets married. A stripper-hooker ar­rives and one of the guys gets carried away and accidentally impales her head on a wall-mounted clothes hook, killing her. What to do? The panicky guys inventory options and moral codes. 'I'hey don't find much. Led by sociopath Robert (Christian Slater), they decide to dump the body and forget the whole thing. As he puts it, Lake about the moral and legal implications, all social constructions after all, and what you've got is simply a "105-pound problem."

But the problem gets bigger when a house detective shows up to inve:stignte Lhe noise and quickly becomes a corpse. The four men mob him cutting and ::otabbmg him with anything they can get their

hands on, then lock the bathroom door un­til his screams stop.

Now with a 350 -pound problem to deal with, our averagejoes march to an all­night Coast-to-Coast to buy plastic bags ,tarps, mops, electric saws and raincoats. 'I'hey approach dismembering the bodies with the detachment of Bob Vilas.

'I'he quartered corpses are finally buried in the desert and the problem fi­nally seems to be solved.

But when a couple of the guys can't shake off the "very bad things" they did, the new problem is, what to do with them?

As outlined, the plot seems less de­praved than that of "Fargo," which is al­ready on the top-100 best American films !isl. What makes "Very Bad Things" dis­turbing, some would say reprehensible, ns its tone and attitude.

"It definitely takes the pressure off," said Elway, al­luding to the stunning win over the Packers last year -the Broncos' first Super Bowl win in five tries. "We don't have that monkey on our back anymore. That's a big relief."

Recalling the pregame hype before Super Bowl XXXII, which focused almost entirely on Elway's mission to add the missing jewel to his diamond-studded crown, the future Hall of Farner said, "There was such a negative atmosphere, because that was all the talk. Already, over the past week, everything has been more positive."

Isabel Stubbs feels she has not been shooting free throws very well lately, but that did not seem to bother her, or any of the other Lady 'Cats, as several players hit clutch free-throws in both of the Montana State Univer-

ton and Portland State and raise their record to 12-5 overall and 6-1 conference, leaving Montana Staie all alone atop the Big Sky.

"We have been working to be on top like this for a long time," Sheehan said.

"I have been having trouble hitting my free throws," Stubbs said. "As I am stepping to the line, I am thinking 'I am not going to miss these.'"

"I have been rebound­ing free throws for her after practice every day," Lady 'Cat head coach Tracey Sheehan said. "Last night (Friday) she winked at me when she was on the line, and tonight she smiled. She is a great kid to have."

Stubbs contributed to a well balanced MSU attack that helped propel the Lady 'Cats through two tough wins over Eastern Washing-

loss. Stubbs,

a freshman from Queensland, Australia, and sophomore Serena Merril each had 12 points to lead MSU and freshman Jennifer Curl added 11.

"I thought Isabel and Serena really stepped up their play," Sheehan said. "Eastern did a nice job on Tennyson (Ballek) and it was great we had some of our other players take control. Our balance is a big strength and it makes us hard to de­fend."

MSU blows by lifeless Hornets BY IAN CoSTELLO

Exponellt Sports Edi1or

Fresh off a disappointing loss in over­time to Portland State Saturday afternoon, the Montana State University Bobcats took out their frustration on the winless Cal State Sacramento by coming out hot, and blowing out the Hornets.

The Bobcats started with a flurry of m­side hoops and three-point buckets as they exploded to an early 20 point lead.

"We played a great first half," Bobcat head coach Mick Durham said. "We shot the ball well and we moved very well on offense."

Helena High tandem Danny Sprinkle and Justin Brown led the amazing first-half charge from behind the three-point arc as they hit six three pointers between them in the first 12 minutes of the game. Back-up point guard Jamie Hooper added a three of his own shortly after Sprinkle's fourth.

Cal State Sacramento, which came into the game with an 0-16 record, could not seem to muster anything positive in the first half as they had trouble moving the ball up the floor, turning it over several times, and when they did get the ball into their offensive end they shot a dismal 20

percent from the floor. "In a situation like that, it gets kind of

helter skelter," Durham said. "But give them credit they did not give up and they did a good job of coming at us all night." The hot shooting start by the Bobcats led them out of the gate quickly as they had leads of 19-11, 28-11, 34-11 and 42-12 be­fore the Hornets woke up.

With time running out in the first half: Cal State Sacramento put together a small run of their own and cut the lead to 42-21 with 4:32 remaming in the first.

Not to be outdone, the 'Cats answered with another run of their own and outscored the Hornets 11-1 before the end of the half to lead the game 53-22 at the break. The first half assault by the 'Cats totaled a season high 53 points, including nine three pointers, on a torrid 55 percent shooting. Montana State continued the domination of the Hornets on the board as well, amassing a 28-17 advantage in the first half The Bob­cats also dished out 16 assists in the first half.

Although the shooting for the 'Cats cooled off and the shooting for the Hornets

warmed up, the story of the second half was quite a bit sloppier than the first and Cal State Sacramento was able to put together a better performance than the first half, but the first-half mar­gin was too much to over­come as the 'cats ran away with a 89-69 win.

Montana State was led on the evening by Sprinkle who finished with 19 points. Brown added 18 and John Lazosky chipped in 12.

On Saturday afternoon. the Bobcats put up a good fight but for the second

straight season Montana State lost a game to the Portland State Vikings in an overtime. Last season the game in Port­lana went into three overtimes before the Vikings came away with the win.

This season, the Bob­cats, coming off their first road win of the season at Eastern Washington, held a three-point lead with under a minute to go when Eagle Brian Towne hit a three pointer to send the game into overtime.

Montana State trailed for most of the overtime pe­riod but took a one-point lead

with 11 seconds to go only to see the Vikings regain the lead and win the game.

"This was a great col­lege basketball game and one we had a chance to win," Durham said. "I am not real pleased with how the last four seconds went, but I arn proud of the guys for fighting back from down three points in overtime."

The Bobcats will be in Missoula on Saturday to play the Grizzlies before return­ing home. Five of the 'Cats last seven games will be at home where they have only lost one game tbjs season.

For the most part, that description of women's athlet-

They are on top of the Big Sky world, let us make every opponent feel l ike they are in the loudest building on earth when they come into town to

play our Lady 'Cats .

ics fits into the junior high level of competi­tion pretty well, but I never saw the change in the sport as these girls grew into women and almost formed a game of their own.

Because of this shortcoming, I have often openly criticized women's ath­letics, Title IX and pretty much everything else to do with women in sports.

And I am here today to tell you, don't make that mis­take.

The truth: It was about mid-way

through the first half of the game against Eastern Wash­ington when I looked around the building, and then back at the floor, and found I was re­ally enjoying myself. This was fun to watch.

I spent most of the day Saturday looking forward to going to the Portland State game that night-like I look forward to seeing the male ver­sion of the 'Cats play a big

game, and I began to realize that my complaints about and attacks on the game of women's basketball were out of line and just plain unfair.

Montana State Univer­sity has put together an ex­cellent women's basketball team that is very worthy of our support.

They bring to the floor talent and pride, and put to­gether an exciting game wor­thy of even the most critical fan.

The solution. In case you have not no­

ticed, the Lady 'Cats are cur­rently standing atop the Big Sky conference, looking down, with half of the season over. These women can play the game and they are fun to watch.

Head coach Tracey Sheehan has an excellent bas­ketball team led by two se­niors and a huge crop of very talented underclassmen.

All of the women on the team play like they are on a team, having fun while rack­ing up wins and thwarting the competition.

If you are a fan of sports

but chose not to attend Lady 'Cat games because you feel it will be slow and boring, get your butt out of your house and go to a game, you will be surprised at the talent, convic­tion and dedication of your Lady 'Cats.

If you, unlike me, have been a fan for years keep com­ing to the games and showing your support.

The Lady 'Cats are in the midst of one of their best sea­sons in a few years and it is very possible they will lock up the regular-season Big Sky title and host the post-season Big Sky tournament.

Sheehan made this statement after the game on Saturday night: "I would much rather be the hunted than the hunter."

The MSU Lady 'Cats are the hunted, so why don't we band together and treat them as such. They are on top of the Big Sky world. Let's make ev­ery opponent feel like they are in the loudest building on earth when they come to play our Lady 'Cats.

contact with the fans who have been so good to us over the years," said Elway, sound­ing nostalgic.

A year ago, the Broncos adopted a "Win-One-for­John" attitude. This time, the Broncos, trying to be­come only the seven th team to win back-to-back Super Bowls, a r en't banging the Elway drums.

"Chances are, this will be John's last game - I think the team understands that -but when you get to this game, you're playing for ev­ery body," coach Mike Shanahan said.

"You're playing for a world championship. It's not

like we need more motivation because it's John's last game - or possibly his last game . You're playing to get a ring on your finger."

The Broncos are ex­pected to win, a role reversal from last year when they were heavy underdogs against the Packers. That, in itself, could heap extra pres­sure on the Broncos.

Not according to Elway. "In my mind," he said,

"there can't be anymore pres­sure on us than there was last year."
