years, said ice arena representative Janet Borg. Although that may
not seem like much, Mayor Sid Larsen was cautious about jumping on
the ice arena band wagon.

11/05/99 Hyde

THE LOGAN CANYON: A special series of stories by an advanced USU news-feature
writing class
(11/07/99)
Clamber up the red
conglomerate. Jump in the arctic-cold streams or the ponds behind the
dams. Pant up the Jardine Juniper Trail. Gently poke the "hairy
arm pitted" bugs, and sample the wood's rose, if you know what
you're doing. . . but be sure to avoid the death camas. Enjoy the camping
and fishing and rock climbing, and see if you can count to 13 moose.
And above all, marvel at how a U.S. highway puts it all within minutes
of your doorstep. The students of COMM 3110, "Beyond the Inverted
Pyramid," share with you the results of their many interviews,
research trips and observations.
Problems
of Y2K: spelling, Pokemon and Al Gore
(11/18/99)
If the $1 million
question to ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was "What is the
correct spelling for the term we use when referring to 1000 years?,"
my bet is 99 percent of the contestants would miss it. / A commentary
by Dan Chase.
Dark,
cold Halloween night perfect for 'trunk-or-treat' in Paradise
(11/07/99)
The streets of Paradise
aren't well-lighted, and the homes are far apart. What to do, what to
do?
Sports
Aggies
look for more of that tough Maui defense against Northern Arizona
(11/30/99) USU (3-1) is coming off a successful
Maui Invitational showing, which saw it take sixth-ranked University
of Florida to the limit before losing in the final minute. Then USU
beat host Chaminade University, as well as PAC-10 opponent University
of Southern California. NAU is next, Tuesday
night. / By Wade Denniston
Demario
Brown needs only 40 yards against North Texas to be No. 1
(11/23/99) Coming off a huge game against Nevada,
Brown is on the verge of setting the career USU rushing record.
Jorssen,
Rolle pace victory in basketball opener against Simon Fraser
(11/18/99) The Utah State University men's basketball
team began its season with a 78-57 victory Saturday night at the Spectrum,
but Aggie head coach Stew Morrill wasn't too pleased with his team's
performance.
USU
sweeps Nevada in three games to notch a volleyball championship
(11/16/99) The victory, which set an attendance
record, not only sets up a rematch with the University of Pacific, but
the Aggies also set a record for most conference wins with 11.
Newcomer
Shawn Daniels scores 20 in leading USU past Global Sports
(11/08/99) Who can fill the big shoes of Donnie
Johnson and Pharoah Davis? How about the California junior whom Street
& Smith's college basketball magazine picked as the top newcomer
in the Big West Conference this season.
USU
basketball team short, young and untested
(11/08/99) The Aggies handled a Global Sports
team in exhibition last week, but big questions remain. How good can
they be when nine players have no Division 1-A playing time, and the
other four have a year? An analysis by writer Wade Denniston, with quotes
from head coach Stew Morrill.
Aggies'
Emmett White leads the nation in punt returns
(11/05/99) The sophomore from Ogden averages
18.1 yards per return. How long has it been since an Aggie was No. 1
in the United States in a football statistical category?
Hard
for the arrogant, hairy Braves to play when they're holding their throats
(11/01/99) Writer Dan Chase is a National League
fan, but it's hard to root for the Atlanta Braves when they choke time
after time in the World Series. A commentary.
Brown's
239 yards are the only treat for Aggies in loss to Boise State
(11/01/99) Halloween came a day early for the
USU football team, which got tricks instead of treats against BSU and
lost 33-27.
Opinion
Hunting
brings home the 'real' organic meat, and eating it puts you closer to
nature
(11/30/99) There is a lot of talk these days
about being one with the earth and the animals, a human urge to be close
with nature. I can't think of anything that brings humans closer to
nature than hunting. Hunting puts you in nature as a predator, something
humans have been for a long long time. You are part of life and death,
not just an observer. Which brings us back to why man started hunting-food.
Hunting is a recreational activity that has tangible benefits. /

AIDS
from chimps? Not likely, if you look at the evidence
(11/30/99) In recognition of World AIDS Day,
this commentary examines the facts and myths about the origins of a
terrible disease. / By Reid Furniss
In
the seas of ignorance, monster waves swamp rational thought
(11/30/99) On the oceans of human consciousness,
there are "white seas" of belief that pile up and sweep everything before
them. In belief, the mind and heart hold obsessively to a particular
idea, long after there is evidence to the contrary. Among the most powerful
and destructive are "waves of belief" about disease. Health is an emotional,
often frightening subject for most people -- the nexus of life and death
for all of us. Unlike "white seas" found in nature, however, the monster
thought-waves can be pushed high by misinformation. / An essay framing
World AIDS Day by Reid Furniss
Hawaii
deserves to rule its own destiny as a sovereign nation
(11/30/99) Hawaiian Sovereignty is best described
by Hawaiian activist Poka Laenui. He says it is deep and wide like the
Pacific Ocean. It is deep in the many generations and time it has been
brewing. It is wide in the many people it covers living all the over
the world. It is something that has been part of my life for the last
six years. / By Julie Sulunga

North and Main streets in Logan. / Photo by Dan Chase.
Whatever
your hurry as you speed through a red light, is it worth killing someone?
(11/18/99) The other day I was returning home
after taking my wife to work, and a car, chuck full of high school kids,
was following me. After the driver figured out I was keeping the speed
limit and obeying the law, he thought I'd maybe speed up if he tailgated
me. Wrong. / By Dan Chase
'Herstory'
in Logan weaves many threads, many voices
(11/11/99) A group of women meeting inspires
a freedom and openness that exists only when men are not present. Not
that there is anything wrong with men, only that something special happens
when only women are present. Especially when potlucks are involved.
/ By Lizzy Scully
Arts
What
is the message of 'Messenger?' Root for the flames at the end
11/19/99
Even Milla Jovovich's European good looks fail to make The Messenger
worth seeing. Viewers of this film will hardly walk away with a history
lesson. / By Paul Kendall
'Much
Ado About Nothing' will jitterbug in USU's 1940s version
11/13/99 Utah
State Theatre combines Shakespeare, the 1940s and Christmas in this
adaptation of one of the Bard's merriest romantic comedies. Performances
begin Dec. 2.
Great
vocals and a believable Audrey II highlight 'Little Shop'
11/03/99 Colorful,
morbid and hilarious. These three words sum up Utah State Theatre's
performance of Little Shop of Horrors. / By Heather Fredrickson
Lifestyles
Stuck
on campus this Turkey Day? Angie's will feed you for free
11/17/99 Angie's has been providing a
free (that's right, free) traditional Thanksgiving dinner for six years.
Owner Saboor Sahely, a USU graduate, made Logan his home, and says that
he does this in appreciation to those who helped him become what he
is today. / By Jessica Warren
Club
Axis in Salt Lake City reopens after tornado with impressive new touches
11/15/99 The Aug. 11 tornado tore off
the roof and destroyed some of the equipment. Now, as the club reopens,
patrons will see the new 30-foot disco ball that had to be installed
through the ceiling because it was too large to fit through any of the
doors. / By Julie Sulunga
Trout
are calling experts and novices to Willow Springs in southern Cache
11/15/99 Until the early '90s these fertile waters
were producing trout for restaurants and private ponds. After a series
of closures due to contagious fish diseases, Grant White decided it
was time to restore the trout farm into a world-class fishing destination.
Now it's famous enough to attract fishermen such as PGA golfer Fuzzy
Zoeller. / By Paul Kendall
Grasshoppers,
moisture have pheasant hunters eager for start of season
11/04/99 The explosive flush of a rooster and
watching a good dog work are just two of the many things that will get
hunters out of bed Nov. 6. Before they decide where to go, they should
know that Cache Valley is expected to be full of pheasants, thanks to
optimal conditions earlier this year. / By Paul Kendall
