The vaults contained discarded human bodies.The vaults were on the property of Tri-State Crematory operator Ray Brent Marsh, said Buddy Nix, direc- ti)r of the Georgia State Bureau of Investigation.Marsh, 28, is being held without bond on 16 counts of theft by deception tor allegedly taking payment for cremations he did not perform. Tliere are no other suspects in the case yet.Marsh took ovet the crematorium, a family business, in 1996. Some authorities have said some of the ctirpses appeared to have been on the property for 15 years or more.Marsh told investigators that he had not cremated the K)dies because the incinerator was not working.The official body count, as of Wednesday morning, was 191, but officials said that with the discovery’ of the new vaults, the count could reach 300. Twenty-nine corpses have been positively identified.The remains of 130 people have been turned over to authorities so far, sf several killings and kidnappings by the rebels over the last several years.The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the country’s largest rebel group, has been blamed for the abduction by Gen.

Higgins[X BUREAU(U-W IRE) WASHlNCiTON — rhc Peruvian j,'overnnient voueJ ro uphold A 20-year priMin sentence tor an American woman heinti lie Id as a terrorist this week, rulinfi out the possibility ot a presidential pardon.Lon Berenson, ^2, has already served six years in a Peruvian prison tor allegedly aiding and abetting the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement in a plot to overthrow the Peruvian Congress in 1995.Berenson, a New York native, ctm- tinues to deny her involvement with the known terrorist organization, tetuting the government’s allegations that she allowed rebels to hide and meet in the house she had rented.“My own view ot the matter is that she did do some suspicious things,” said Dr. Cynthia McClintock, an expert in international attairs and Peruvian politics and a protessor atCeorge Washington University. “She’s very likely to have committed the crimes that she is being punishet.1Lror.McCdintock (.luestioned the sentence though, calling 20 years “severe” and “cruel and unusual punishment.”A lower court acquitted Berenson tit being a member ot the group, but charged her with providing aid to the rebel taction.A secret military tribunal sentenced her to lite in prison in 1996, but that decision was tiverturned and reterred hack to a civilian court in August 2000 due to political pre.ssure trtim the United States.The Peruvian Supreme Court ruled in tavor ot that civilian court’s June 2000 decision this week, leaving Berenson little hope for freedom betöre 2015.“She is a proven terrorist, sentenced by the Supreme Court. ... There is simply nothing more to dis-“S/ie is a proven terrorist, sentenced by the Supreme Court. ... There is simply nothing more to discuss about the matter. ”Fernando OliveraPeru's justice ministercuss about the matter,” Fernando Olivera, Peru’s justice minister, said in a statement this week. “A presidential pardon is not under consideration.”McClintock believes otherwise,saying, “Yes, I think that there is achance that President (Alejandro)Toledo would give her a pardon, butnot right now, hopefully within a »»year.Excluding a pardon from President Toledo, Beren.son’s only chance of freedom is a favorable ruling from theInter-American Court of Human Rights or U.S. intervention in her case.The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, an internatitmal agreement between several Southern and Central American countries is a parr of the Organized American States, an international court which strives to, as Article 2 of their charter states, “promote and consolidate representative democracy, with due respect for the principle of nonintervention.”Member countries of the GAS, iircluding Peru, are obligated to comply with the court’s rulings. The OAS is a regional branch of the United Nations.Berenson’s parents, Rhonda and Mark, have been lobbying for their daughter’s release since her arrest in 1995. Following the ruling this week, they have increased their pressure on the OAS, Toledo, and even President George W. Bush, who is scheduled tomeet with Toledo on March 2 5.Bush, who plans to meet with the Peruvian leader to discuss drug trafficking, trade and terrorism, has not commented on whether or not he will include Berenson’s case in his list ot concerns.“At the current time it is a remote chance, given the Bu.sh administrations’ pttlicies on terrorism, for the president to go to hat for a woman charged and convicted of terrorism. It would he hypixritical,’’ McClintock said.Richard Boucher, spokesman for the State Department noted that the Peruvians government had, “followed due process in her case," which is all the United States asked for.“Pardoning Berenson is Toledo’s responsibility,” McClintock said, “not Bush’s."No hearing has been set for an OAS hearing on the case.BEARcontinued from page 1Science Building acts as a way station during an anim al’s postmortem journey from highway shoulder to rebirth as a classroom learning tool.“We get a lot of roadkill coming through here,” Samayoa said.Most of the dead animals are brtnight in by biological sciences students, but the Department of Fish and Game and Wildlife Management Services also donate fresh specimens, Samayoa said.The specimens are then cleaned and stuffed h>r use in either the biology department’s teaching or research collection.Francis Villablanca, assistant professor in the biological sciences department, points to the many shelving units around the nmm. Each one contains the skulls and skins of a variety of animals including possums, squirrels, birds and others used to teach students species and genus identification.“The key characteristics ot mammals are in their skulls and .skins," Villablanca said. “The two methods ot stuffing them are the study skin.which we use here in the classroom, and ‘live mounts’, which is the method hunters use."The “live mounts" consist of draping an animal’s skin over a prefabricated mold and adding glass eyes. Villablanca said many of the animal’s characteristics are hidden when it’s stuffed that way, thus making it a poor study aid.When animals are brought into the lab, their innards are reimived and either preserved in a jar with solution or temporarily stored in the room’s fridge for later study. The remaining pelt is then cleaned and sprinkled with sawdust, which helps dry out the oils that can hasten the decaying process.The next step is to stuff the animal. Villablanca purchases cotton batting from a local drug store. He said the key is to make sure that it’s “woven cotton,” which is used to fill and give shape to the animal’s body. A heavy gauge wire is used to stiffen limbs. Finally, the skin is sewn up with cotton thread and stashed in a drawer where it waits to fulfill its new destiny as a lecture aid.If the animal is large, sometimes only pieces of it are utilized, as in the case of the bear, which becauseof its size, makes stuffing too expensive.The lab studies the animals on a molecular level as well.Barbara Sepulveda, an ecology and systematic biology senior, said tissue samples are taken from the animals for genetic mapping.“It helps in studying migratory patterns,” Sepulveda said. “If five years from now, a group of animals have moved to a different place.Barbara Sepulveda practices sewing together the skin of a dead bobcat. Part of the job includes inserting cotton batting into the body to make the animal look like it originally did.researchers can tell which group they originally came from.”Sepulveda said the obscure art of taxidermy has opened up dinars for her.“I used to work in administration doing data entry and filing,” Sepulveda said. “When I came here. Dr. Villablanca gave me a job. The two are very different; one is clean and the other one is hands on.” Sepulveda in.serts cotton battingAARON LAMBERT/MUSTANG DAILYinto the bobcat, trying to etch out a realistic proportion.“If the tail is flapping it means either the wire is tmi short, or there isn’t enough cotton in there,” she said.Samayoa said it needed more •Stuffing in the head.“The art is in trying to make it Uxik like what it did when it came in,” Villablanca said. “You develop a deep respect for these animals."FREE SPINAL EXAMINATIONDanqer Signals of Pinched Nerves:1.

The life of many can he written down in Ixsoks, hut it takes a special person to pttriray the essence ot life though art.Kim Aheles and Sheila Pinkel are the two artists currently featured at the University Art Gallery in the Dexter Building. Their work is constructed separately, yet it is linked hy a com- mon thread; human history'. Aheles’ “Frankenstein’s Heart” combines college students’ written exceqsts from interviews with the elderly aK>ut their life as Americans and varittus cho- sen symlxsls. Pinkel’s “Dialogues with History’’ descrilu's the struggle of the Hmong in Lavis, Tliailand and the United States through photography and graphics.“1 Wits telling the story hc'causc' most {X'ople don’t know who the Hmong people are,’’ Pinkel said. “They get low paying jobs here (in U.S.) because people don’t understand that their people have survived a cataclysm. Partly I waitted to tell the story (because) otherwise, history would forget them.”Tlte phott)graphs and dialogues tell the story of a family to which Pinkel bec;»me intimately attached. Tlie pictures indicate how the displacement of the Hmong has caused serious disadvantages to their {"leople.Part of the Vietnam War ixcurred in Laos, Cambodia, Burma and Thailand, Pinkel said the Hmong were recruited by the CIA for their exceptional fighting techniques and knowledge of the land to fight tor the Royalists against the Communists during the 1960s and 1970s.“The Communists won the war .ind over 100,000 Hmong were left to go the United States or cross to Thailand, ultimately living in refugee camps,” Pinkel said. “1 went to the refugee camps in the 1990s and interviewed stime Hmong. In CHANG Kom (a camp) 1 met Kou Chang.”Chang was Pinkel’'^ tour guide though the camps. Tliey stayed in touch after .she left L;h>s. C,’hang sent her his biography, which she entered into a contest. This resulted in the pub- li.shing of the Knik, “Kou Chang’s Story.”“It 1 really wanted to tell the .story 1 would h.ive to talk to (Chang’s) relatives in L.ios,” she said. “I went to Laos in w inter 2000 and interviewed his familv an^ l found out the stt'ry wassee DEXTER, page 6S i - 1A\\AV , V' / ) 4 #s--m..r-r^ 'Í nt "K -j ' , _ _ yL,If. ’r » 't - A [6 Thursday, February 21,2002 Arts Mustang DailyDEXTERcontinued from page 5more ctmiplicared.”While in northern California, Pinkel houf’hr a tapestry depictinji the extensive stru^^le the war created tor the Unions people. This is a syinhol- ic histor\' t)f the Hmong, Pinkel said.“It is a minimum of 200-year histtv ry,” she said. “In the upper left-hand corner it shows the Hmonf’ being expelled from China ... in the left middle are farming techniques ... in the bottom middle is the worst of the refugee camps, Ban Vinai. In the middle there is a cok)rtul arch in the capi- tol built by the French. They were supposed to use the cement to build the airfield but instead they built an arch to the testimony of France. The pcx)ple now call it their ‘vertical airfield.’” Symbols are a recurring rheme in Abeles’ piece as well. Abeles’ art consists of symbols chosen by the students who inrer\iewed the elderly. They chose what color, patterii, texture and font >tyle in which their name would appear.“ 1 w a n te d (s tu d e n ts ) to c h o o s e s o m e o n e o v e r th e age o f 75 a n d in te r v iew th e m ," .A b e les said . “S o m e tim e s th e y w e re fa m ily m e m b e rs , s iim e tim e s Strangers. 1 w a n te d th re e sets o t in te r a c tio n s o f v a ry in g le v e ls . 1 ta u g h t th e m h o w to in te rv ie w a n d h,>w to in te rp re t it v is u a lly .”Abeles said the students then w rote up the interview and created the symbols on the wall, making a book out of these portraits.“In a way, these portraits cotnbine the youth with the elderly,” Abeles said. “If you read the Itne vertically you can read one portrait, if you read it horizontally you can see it collectively. The wotnan in the middle is all of it.” C’fnce the students collected all the data, Abeles said, students chose a piece of the portrait to be placed in the copper and .satin sarcophagus, which houses the silhouette of a symbolic woman’s body.“ M o s t p e o p le p ic k e d th e h e a d .\ ^/■j:2uERIC HENDERSON/MUSTANG DAILYKim Abeles and Sheila Pinkel are the two artists currently featured at the University Art Gallery in the Dexter Building.heart and hand,” site said. “It’s sort of simple and sort of complicated.

In a way all of those portraits are about helping me build by humanity. 1 think that life’s priKess is one of realizing one self and scrutinizing the reality of the moment. In the last year I have been try ing to as.sess what the core is. 1 think that it is great to reas.sess from time to time. To use art as a vehicle to do that is obvious for me — to get information from strangers as a way to go though a thought process.”In Mar>’ Shelly’s “Frankenstein," after the creation awakens, he wonders off and peeks into a family’s home, Abeles .said. He wants to understand love by observing Strangers. That is from where the ideaevolved, she said.“When I work w'ith groups, the freaky thing is what evolves,” she said. “1 was going to make a logKxik; the wall IS a big biHik with all the pages up there.

The group must exhibit a great sense of timing, humor and teamw'ork for the show to work.“(Pilobolus) is definitely different from most modern dance,” said Ralph Hoskins, director of Cal Poly Arts. “It’s not run by a leader. It’s collective; they work and move together. T h at’s why they get described as moving scenery.”The program coming to the PAC w'ill include .several inventive pieces, including “Monkey and the White Bone Demon,” “Gnomen,” “Symbiosis,” and a new, untitled “Olympic Work,” sponsored by the 2002 Cultural Olympiad. The main choreographer for the night will be Michael Tracy.The nonprofit company is currently in Salt Lake City, performing the “Olympic Work” piece at that same Cultural Olympiad — a celebration of different cultures and ideologies designed to run concurrently with the actual Olympics.There will also be a possible performance on N BC ’s “ The Today Show,” but that is unconfirmed, said Susan Ericson, Pilobolus tour manager, in an e-mail interview.Pilobolus has previously performed on three major PBS dance specials. They have also appeared on show's like “The Tonight Show” and “Sesame Street,” according to a press release. Ho.skins said the group is as universally appealing as it is unique.“This has an appeal to the novice as well as those experienced in dance,” 1 loskins said. “You don’t need a dance vocabulary to understand and appreciate this to the fullest. It’s dance, movement and theater, all of these. But it’s different.”The well-traveled dance company, based in Wa.shington l\-pot. Conn., began in 1971 as a Dartmouth College dance class. One of the co-founders of the group, current artistic director Jonathan Wolken, got the name from research of the fungus “pilobolus” in his father’s biophysics laboratory, according to the group’s Web site. Pilobolus has come a long way since then, and it is currently sponsored by the Connecticut Commission for the Arts, The American Dance Festival, and The Chase Manhattan Foundation, among others.Ericson said Pilobolus is a fairly large organization. It includes four arti.stic directors, a six-person (four men, two women) touring compa-see PILOBOLUS, page 16• EfTéctKre• Affordable544-7693w«rw.«tulberg.comIt you art! a studontANYTHING voii li> tht Campus ur Cl 0 pr lK.t: CAN tuul WILL t)f MSI M aq.iinsl ynii in courtDon't talk to thum until you talk to moIn itia l Cons uft3tion A lways FR E E ’Need TRAFFIC SCHOOL, but don’t want to waste time in an 8*hour class?Tra ff ic S c h o o l.c o m offers o n -lin e a n d w o rk b o o k traffic school 24/7 in the conven ience of your own hom e.A ^ Order On-line at: www.trafficschool.comyO.UU ^ iT Order Toll-Free at: l-eOO-691-5014 Promotion Code: mustang (Enf«r cod© onitn*« call toii-ir©*/E*ptf«*i/i/04)5©« why Co/ AO/y students _ Throughout Calllomla■ TrafficSchool. comsuch at you havm madm us Iho 01 cho/C0 for 24/7 tralfic tchooll Driving Down Your Costs of Driving.W is h e s u ) im itc'c:«il l*oly s t i i d n i t s , staff a* f a c u lt yt<) <1S h a h h a t W o r s h i p , a* Is ra eli D a n c i n g( )i II ' r id a y , I ' r h m a r y 2 2 iu l at 7::fO p . i i i .C ^ o n ^ r i 'K H t i o i i K <*th i n i v k l A u K u .s t i i .S t r e e t ' S i l t l I^ u Im Ol>ÍN|><>o I-1 b-' AOne man is about to do the unthinkable.

Her research into the start-up and development of businesses run by women led her to the discovery of some staggering statistics.In 1998, Brush discovered 3 percent of all venture capital funding went to woman-led firms and businesses. According to data collected from the National Venture Capital AsscKiation, the percentage went up to 6 percent in 2000.Venture capital is a necessity for any entrepreneur. Sources of capital are institutional venture capital firms, which typically give between $3 million and 10 million, and "angel investors" -- private investots who typically give between $25,000 and $2 million. Without this funding, it is difficult to launch a new company."The project started as we tried to figure out why is it such a small amount," Brush said.Brush and professors from the University of St. Thomas, Harvard University, Indiana University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City joined to investigate the phenomenon. The five women each approached the issue from a different angle, coming to the table with backgrounds in psychology, sociology, strategy and management.The project began with an investigation of the industry itself. Investment statistics in the United States were re-coded to examine gen- det trends. Brush explained."We discovered that there wasn't much out there -- people hadn't been looking at this issue," Brush said.After completing preliminary research, the study compiled a list of eight myths about women and equity capital that contribute to the difficulties women experience while trying to gain access to capital.The study then promptly set about to discredit these myths."There were three major hypotheses that we were examining," Brush said. One was that women simply lacked the qualifications — in education and experience — to make it in their own business. Brush said. Another was that women did not want to own high-growth business - that they were choosing not to pursue the money. A third option was that women were being left out of the "network."One by one, the study eliminated these and other related hypotheses by interviewing women through Springboard Enterprises, a forum for women entrepreneurs that holds conferences nationwide to connect woman-run businesses with investors, financiers and busine.ss development professionals. They found facts that directly conflicted with the premisesof these myths."There weren't differences in qualifications," Brush said. "Women were going into these ventures with just as much knowledge as their male counterparts."Similarly, women held growth aspirations for their businesses that were just as high as men's. According to the Diana Project, more than 80 percent of the Springboard applicants reported wanting to grow their ventures as rapidly as possible.Networking, • making social contacts and infiltrating the infrastructure of equity capital ventures, however, proved to be a point where women are still developing."When women start out, they create a business plan and go out to look for money. They are 'chauffeured' around — they don't just immediately bring their plan to a big venture capital firm -- and make a series of contacts," Brush said.As they meet with people, their plan is constantly being evaluated, improved upon and critiqued by potential investors. According to Brush, this is one of the hardest parts of the proce.ss."Women need to break into that infrastructure or develop their own," she said.If successful. Brush said, women can develop strong "stx:ial capital." According to the Diana Project, "it's not so much what you know as who you know. StKial capital is essential in gaining access to opportunities and resources, saving time and tapping into sources of advice and moral support."v ' S i . .______?

The non-profit organization has locations in Boston, Worcester and Providence and offers assistance to women starting businesses on small and large scales."Networking is the fabric of our organization," said Providence director Carol Malysz. "It does make a big difference. We bring in accountants, insurance and professionals who are leaders in their fields and experts at marketing."Using these resources, women can make necessary connections. The Center for Women and Enterprise also provides financial services that help women who want to start their own business but are unsure about the procedure."Women don't have as extensive a track record as men in acce.ssing credit and funding," explained financial services manager Kathy Colliding. According to Goulding, women often come in intimidated by the processes and paperwork."They have a dream to open a business but don't know the right place to start;they're not sure how to put the numbers together," she said. "We help them set up a strategy and pull in consultants."Brush also advised preparation as a key element to obtaining funding. Getting feedback in advance, practicing good presentation skills and maintaining a polished appearance will contribute to overall attractiveness to the investor, she said."You have to not give them any rea.son to say no," Brush said.Malysz agreed, saying women need to take an active role in the process or risk not knowing what is going on."If they can't answer the questions, that turns bankers off," she said.Now that the Diana Project is published, the research team is continuing its efforts. They have eliminated many wrong answers to the question of why women receive significantly less funding, but they haven't arrived at the right answer yet.Since the study established that gender factors should not be an issue while trying to obtain funding, the researchers are investigating whether women and men budget their money differently once they get it. This hypothesis could be another explanation of why venture capitalists are wary to give women money.ow, we're comparing the strategies of women-led and men-led businesses to see whether there are differences once they get the money," Brush said.Malysz and Goulding reported that the number of women coming into their offices has been on a continuous upswing. Both foresee a positive trend in woman-run businesses.According to Malysz, within the next few years, woman-run small busine.sses are expected to make up 50 percent of all small businesses in the United States."It's going to take time for women to build up their resources and keep the trend moving in a positive direction," she said. "It's going to take a lot of work and a lot of time."The Covello Group, Inc.The Covello Group, Inc., Walnut Creek, CA. - Provides specialized construction related services, primarily as construction managers to public agencies for their water resource projects.We are currently looking for individuals to join our team as office/field engineers on our projects.

She said she rhouKht everything would he fine."Roommate-wise she was Kn^ nt." Graham said, "hut then she lost her job."“// you re going to live with other people, you need to put your foot doivn. You almost have to he an asshole or a bitch hut you can’t let people walk all over you. ”Noah GriecoKent State UniversityTh.it's when thint:s yot messy.Cnah.iin said her new roommate would leave open tampons and jars filled with Q-Tips and brown water .iround her room. She said her roommate also stained a mattress which helonfied ro Graham.She said her roommate even poured oil on her cat and liK'ked it in Gr.ih.im's bedroom without a litter- hox for two weeks while she was umie for ediristmas. Graham came hack to cat pee all over her bed and pillow."She said she did it because rhe cat was heinc had," Graham said.But hv far the most funny and dis-turhinL: part of Graham's experience came one night when Graham was hanging out with a friend."She would have different guys over every weekend," Graham said. "One night me and this guy are watching a movie, and we are hearing all these sexual sounds coming from the bedroom. She comes out of her room wearing nothing, grabs some aluminum foil and goes hack in the room."Graham said her roommate later told her .she used the foil to make a dildo."The funny thing is the aluminum foil was mine," she said. "Needless to say, 1 bought new foil. 1 mean, can you say 'ouch.'"But not all her roommate stories are that amusing.Graham said her roommare never got another job, hut led Graham to believe she was turning in her rent check every month.Graham got a call from her leasing office monrhs later and was told the rent was late. She confronted her riHimmate, who said she would try to pay her hack."She would pay $20 here and there," Graham said, "hut 1 ended up paying all rhe rent."Graham asked her riHunmate to leave. She was later escorted by a security guard from rhe building, and rhe locks where changed.Graham tixik her roommate to small claims court.The riHimmate was ordered to pay rhe almost SViX' in rent she owed to Graham in $100 payments. Graham moved to Kent sixm after the courtcase was settled, and she never received a single check.Graham ended up running up credir card hills because of rhe expenses she had to pay tor afrer rent and court fees."1 am still paying for it," she said.John Cedrea, managing attorney with Portage Counties Community Legal Aid, said w-hat happened to Graham is not uncommon and is hard to avoid.▼................................................................'‘If you go to court, you have to remember you have to pay court costs. If the person cant he located or doesn’t have a job, you may not end up getting anything from them.”John CedreaKent State University"Even if a roommate is on a lease, if either person leaves, the one who is still there is the easier one to get at," he said. "If they can't find someone, they can't make them pay the rent, so the one who they can find has toIIpay.C.'edrea said a landlord always will seek to get money from the party who is still living in the unit, or the one the landlord can get a hold of.He said anyone renting and living in the space whose name is on rhe lease is legally responsible for rent. Like Graham's case, it doesn't matterthat it was not her hut her roommate who didn't pay.He said in cases like tiraham's, you can try to collect the rent money by taking your former roommate to court, hut that doe.sn't guarantee you will get the money."If you go to court, you have to remember you have to pay court costs, and if the person can't he located or doesn't have a job, you may not end up getting anything from them," Cedrea said.He said every lease is different, and the reality is, as long as you live with someone, you may end up paying that person's rent.His advice to avoid financial loses or other headaches: "Don't live with someone you don't know well."Sophomore Noah Grieco chose to move into Indian Valley Apartments alone.Grieco lived with five other room- mares ar one point and said it was not easy."The hardest part of living with roommates is sharing everything and m>t being able to fiave friends because someone else's friend doesn't like vour friend," he said. "Everyone also smoked and 1 didn't, so all my stuff smelled.

CooperT h e D a ily P r in c e t o n ia n (P r in c e t o n U .)(U 'W IR E) - At an early af»e, Princeton University student Sasha Linney decided she did not like to wear what everyone else was wearing. In response, Linney's mother taught her how to sew her own clothing. Handcrafts were "ingrained in her uphrinKing," and the creative aspects of running a business that involves selling her owm jewelry came easily to her."I've always had an eye for fabrics and patterns. 1 enjoy so much of this naturally," she said.Linney confesses she has little entrepreneurial experience, and her sudden success surprises her. Since last spring, Linney has been selling her unique necklace designs to upscale boutiques in New Yttrk; Princeton, N.J.; Aspen, Colo.; and her hometown of Bethlehem, Pa.The flat and rectanmilar necklaces are about the si:e of a small cracker ,md dandle from a silver wire just above the collarKme. There are three primary desiuns, one of which resembles Pier Mondrian's "C^miposition with Red, Yellow and Blue." Linney has become so f.imiliar with the pattern that she can reproduce the basic beading .stitch in 15 minutes.The Business ModelThough Linney has become more business oriented, she .still considers herself an artist."I've learned that when you make something, you never think your work is worth anything," she said. "Running a business like this is a paradox. You start treating Ithe necklaces} as things that can be marketable, but you don't want to depreciate the creative value."Linney began selling the necklaces to her roommates and friends at the‘7 ’m not very experienced, but Vve learned that all you need is one idea that is simple, easy, relatively inexpensive but looks expensive " that's the key."Sasha LinneyPrinceton StudentUniv’ersity for $20, but they are sold for considerably more in New York. She started her retail business when the owner of the Jill Anderson boutique in Greenwich Village approached Linney's friend and asked her about the geometrical pendant she was wearing. Linney's pieces since have sold at the store for $75 each.Linney has acquired important marketing skills from her entrepreneurial endeavor."I'm not very experienced, but I'velearned that all you need is one idea that is simple, ea.sy, relatively inexpensive but looks expensive -- that's the key," she said.Her design came to her when she caught sight of a certain square bead as she was browsing local shop The Place to Bead. Linney now orders the Japanese .square heads online. The other materials are easy to acquire: nylon coated wire, necklace clasps and flat-nosed pliers.Over the past few years, Linney said she has thought about ways to make the process more "econ(.>mical" -- how to make the necklaces stronger but spend less time working on them. Currently she can complete four in a single one-hour sitting.Linney incorporates her buyer's personality into each piece she makes. When crafting a necklace for someone, she takes into account the client's coloring and sense of style. Linney adapts the cttlor scheme and type of bead to capture the client's distinct look."People always comment on her pieces because you can tell that they're handmade," roommate Lindsey Campbell '02 .said. "1 think they are really striking."Until this year, advertising for the business has been solely word t)f mouth. She gained fame i>n the University campus when girls would approach her for accessories for their winter formal attire.Growing PainsTo accommodate increasing demand, Linney plans to expand her business with an interactive Web site with the help of friend Jon Harris '02. The sire will include a "design-your- own" necklace program that uses Linney's color palette.Since the business has grown so rapidly, Linney has enlisted her roommates to help maintain productivity."I'm totally willing to try my hand at both making them and soliciting stores," Campbell said.When Linney leaves to teach English in Malaysia next semester, her roommates will take over daily operation of her business."I'll have a peripheral involvement as one of the operators," she said.Linney said the experience itf being her own boss is "unbeatable," allowing her the freedom to make necklaces at her own pace. Though she currently makes only necklaces, she hopes to "branch out" by designing clothing and entering design school."1 would be totally happy runniiu; my own store and living upstairs," she said.For Linney, the money is just .i bonus"1 love every step |of the creative process]," she said.The onlv drawback for her is getting blisters on her fingers. Linney acknowledged it might be time to invest m a thimble.DIRECTORYcontinued from page 7No. S, the oldest active licen.se in California. We are seeking candidates with CM.

Frontier Airlines has been recognized as one of the tew airlines mainraininf» a stähle business.Addoms addressed students' concerns about the tuture ot Frontier and how Frontier has been able to survive the consequences Sept. 11. After that day, 80 to 90 percent of the revenues Frontier was generating dropped because people began buying more cost-efticienr tares."We spent the tirst tew days gettingour customers hack," said Addoms. "Frequent flyers have yet to travel. It's just like getting back on a bike. We went to non-protit organizations tt) help us encourage people to fly."A member ot the audience asked Addoms how he decided what to do to get back the losses. "You cut the capacity that is least desirable tt) you from an economic standpoint." Addoms said Frontier chose to cut back service 20 percent and furloughed 15 percent of its employees."Our goal is to get them hack," Addtmis said of the employees. "Some have been re-employed. All the people who were laid off, should be back by the end of February."In addition. Frontier received large sums of grants from the government."We're going to he returning some ot the money, because we don't need all the grant money that the government gave us," Addoms said.

Much of his early career was spent in the bankingindustry after graduation.Later in his life he worked with about 15 startup companies as an officer, director or consultant."1 just loved it," Addoms said.Frontier was a startup ctimpany and Addoms was invited to he a consultant in 1993. He admitted he was angry in the beginning because the former CEO of Frontier left him with a company that wasn't working very well."Bur that's what 1 liked. My theme is to have the willingness to try new things and experience different industries."Addoms was president of Frontier Airlines from 1994 until August 2001 and assisted in financial expertise and designed a business plan to improvethe airline.Students at the event seemed to enjoy Addoms' message."I thought he portrayed a very good message and started his company in a very competitive market," said Robert Schneider, a freshman majoring in accounting.Brian Hopkins, a junior majoring in finance agreed."Fie did a real good job explaining business, the competitive advantage to do it simple and real well. They dropped their capacity to increase their revenues. It shows that they are a strong world company and do care tor their shareholders and look forward towards the future and where Frontier is headed."Volunteers offer free m assages during OlympicsBy Brittany BrownT h e D a ily U n iv e r s e (B r ig h a m Y o u n g U .)(U-W IRE) - Volunteers are giving tree massages to athletes and workers ar the Winter Games in order to be a part ot the Olympics.Students and professional massage therapists are donating their time and talents to the Olympic Village, the International Broat-lcast Center and the Utah Olympic Park."Let's just say we rub people the right way," said Katie Foster, a massage therapist from Texas who volunteered to come to Salt Lake tor the Games."1 wanted tt) be a part i>t the Olympics and thought this wtnild he a great way," Foster said.The volunteers are part ot the American Massage Therapy AsstKiation and were given the option ot working at the Olympics."1 am just here in Salt ▼'............................. ......................... .

W is c o n s in )_________(U-W IRE) - University of Wisconsin-Madison offers human anatomy classes, a course entitled "Couple Relationships" and Human Sexuality 103 — one of the most popular classes in UW's sociology' department.But UW's sexual education can't compare to UC-Berkeley in offering hands-on experience.Two days ago a Berkeley class was suspended after allegations of students visiting strip cluhs and witnessing their professor having sex. Needless to say, the curriculum of the male sexuality sections of Women's Studies 198 is being evaluated. But it is unclear how the university will he able to regulate the course, since it does not receive university funding.Berkeley has launched an investigation into the official content of the two-credit course since reports in the schcx)l's independent student newspaper detailed an end-of-the-year outing to the Garden of Ei.ien strip club, followed by a party at the home of an instructor last semester."There, some of the students engaged in sexual activity," an article in the Daily Californian reported.Berkeley's administration was not happy."Those sorts of activities are not part of the approved course curriculum," said Marie Felde, a university spc»keswoman. "We need to find out what the situation is."The female sexuality version of the course is also under review. These courses are offered as part of Berkeley's "democratic education" program, which the university spon- vsors but does not fund. Student instructors are allowed to develop their own curricula for the courses, which are offered for credit toward graduation.How responsible is Berkeley for classes the school does not fund? If the school authorizes instructors to craft their section's content independently, how can it administer courses like "Blackjack" (in which students“/ t ivas just a fun, harm' less get'together. ”Christy KovacsUC Berkeleylearn to count cards) and "Copwatch" (a course designed to teach students to "effectively a.ssert their rights when interacting with police")?The.se courses spark students' interest and are only general elective credits for Berkeley students. Although UW's admissions office was unavailable for comment, if and how these credits would transfer to UW is questionable.News articles published in the IXiily Californian and Sacramento Bee do not mention the trip to the Berkeley strip club being mandatory.UW women's studies and stKiology lecturer Sue Pastor said though shewould never require her students to attend a strip club, she would allow - - and even encourage -- a student to attend one as part of an "ethnography of an unfamiliar place" observation assignment."If a student went to a strip club and was indeed just observing, they would fall into my class' requirements," she said.Berkeley student Jessica McMahon told the Daily Californian a group of students in the male sexuality class chose as their final project a trip to a gay strip club. Students watched instrucn^rs strip and have sex, the newspaper reported. But this was not part of the course description, requirement or grade."It was just a fun, harmless get- tvigether," said Christy Kovacs, one student involved. "Anything weird that did go on was kind of behind closed dcxirs, and no one really knew about it."UW sociology professors said they carefully monitor in-class curricula because anytime the courses cover .sexual material, people can he offended " both on the basis of morality or explicit content.Likewise, UW officials do not regulate course content by "potential for offensiveness." Free speech is given priority.It d(x:s not appear Berkeley students were offended by their voluntary participation in an orgy.(0Motivation CreativityV ision courage DedicationUCJ.PcLfiU>Iwww.gallo.comErnest & Julio Gedio Winery Management Develqpment ProgramCareer Fain Feb. 21,2002 On-Campus Interviews: Feb. 4-5,2002Interested in working for the leading provider of Design-Build Services?Career opportunities and internships available in:Architecture Structural Engineering Mechanical (HVAC) Engineering Electrical Engineering Construction ManagementVisit us at the Career Symposium or e-mail your resume to:austin.irvine@theaustin.com^Sf^THE AUSTIN ..COMPANYCOmSULTANTS • OCSIGNFRS • ENGINEERS • CONSTRUCTORSBuiiiiitiji; Cireiitrw.ss M i iv r in g R esu lp .PORT OF OAKLANDWe the Port o f Oakland invest our resources in quality facilities and services for our airport, real estate, and seaport tenants and customers, so that through their activities we create economic vitality, jobs and waterfront enjoyment for Oakland and the region while generating earnings to reinvest in our activities.The Port of Oakland occupies 19 miles of wateii'ront on the eastern shore o f San Francisco Bay, with 665 acres devoted to maritime activities and another 3,000 acres devoted to aviation activities.

TItis ritual would become his destiny — once Johnson realized he could also sing.IVspite Johastm’s evident talent and passion for surfing, he said it wasn’t something he wanted to pursue.‘'That's what's rewarding about my music now — when 1 go to shows and people sing along."Jack Johnsonmusician“I see a lot of people go pro and then lose their passion because they made it a career,” Johnson said. “That was the biggest choice 1 had tt) make. 1 didn’t want to he .something that other pcH)ple could control.”Johnson left the island and traveled to the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he graduated with a degree in film.Johnstm ventuied out into a professional career in music after a successful jam sessiim with CTLove, which produced the single “Rodeo CMowns” that attracted interest from the music world. He also toured with folk-riK'k musician Ren Harper. This is where he first captured the attention c)f fans.Johnstm said he was given tiffers from major label rectird companies, hut declined their bids and joined the independent label company governed by J.P. Plunier, Harper’s manager.Although Johnson has enjoyed a fast rise ti> success, he has loved music since he was a child.He said he would watch his older brother’s rockband with fascination and sang along with friends on camping trips. His parents also played records around the ln)u.se. All these elements ctmtributed to his later profession.“k^ne t)f my friends handed me a guitar, and 1 learned the basic chords.COURTESY PHOTO/JACK JOHNSONMusician, filmmaker and surfer Jack Johnson will perform at the Cal Poly Rec Center on Friday at 8 p.m.1 started to learn how to play sing- along songs like ‘Brown Eyed Girl,”’ Johnstm said. “That’s what’s rewarding abi>ut my music ntiw — when 1 go tt) sht)ws and people sing altmg.” Mtist of Johnstm’s stmgs can be traced tt» significant mt»ments, he said. “Bubble Ttx.‘s,” the most uplseat stmg on his mt)st recent album, is aKnit his wife.“That .st»ng is abtuit anytine that realizes that love isn’t picture perfect,” Jtihnson .said. “Ytni gt»tta accept them ft)r wht> they are.”Untainted by the study t»f music, Jt)hnst>n’s lyrics are inntivative and personal and his musical ctimptisititm is inntHzently simple. There are no artificial, ct)mputer-simulated effects that interfere between the artist and his art. IVspite his music’s popularity in sound and style, the essence that drives Johnson as an artist is his desireto make pei»ple happy, he .said.“1 think aKnit people 1 run inti»,” he said. “It someone’s having a bad day, 1 want to sing a song right there, but 1 can’t write that fast. That’s why 1 like to sing, to make people feel better.”Ji»hnson’s talent is strengthened by the fact that he is able to encompa.ss all of his artistic interests into one medium. This is demonstrated in his di»cu- mentary film, “Tliicker Tlian Water.” Tlie film includes original music and captures the intimate relationship between the iKean’s waves and the humans who have developed an inn i^te .sense in understanding their power.“I want to capture reality,” he said. “I’m not interested in fancy cinematography.”His efforts didn’t go unnoticed, as the film was awarded “Video of the Year” by “Surfer” Magazine.Despite his talent and desire for capturing truth, Johnson said he divs- n’t want to concentrate .solely on film for the rest of his life. I le said he wants to continue to film documentaries for the next few years, pursue musical expression, and of course, surf.“Surfing remains consistent,” Johnson .said. “1 think about it all the time. It’s completely my own. 1 can share music, and people can .see my films, but when I surf, it’s something 1 can keep to myself.”To Johnson, freedom is a concept that envelopes his life. Whether it be his refusal to sign onto a major music label, or his passion to surf the iKean without interference from the commercial surf industry, Johnson’s artistry remains beautifully pure.Tickets to Johnson’s concert at the Rec ('enter Feb. 22 are sold out.Culture of Tibet alive in SLO libraryERK HENDERSON/MUSTANG DAILY‘Tibet, Roof of the World,'which features sacred art, photography and religious icons, will be on display until March 1 at the SLO Library.By Barbara BowdenMUSTANG DAILY STAFF W R IT E R ____FI>r stMiie |xs»{''le, the mention t»f Tilvt might stir up the I'liage of Brad Pitt eng.iged in a serious Knit of si»ul-s«.Mrching. But tor others, Tilvt takes on an entirely different meaning.Such significant visions are currently part of the exhibit “TiK't, RiH»f of the World,” at the San Luis C'fbispo County library. This showcase cncompas.ses the ancient and unique culture of TiK*t through displays of sacred art, photi»graphy, traditional attire and religious icons.Morro Bay resident Brandy Hodges began accumulating these items one year ago when she envisioned a plan to inform people aK»ut Tibet’s situation.“I h.id an idea to show people that the Tibet.m culture is dying," she said. “1 wanted to do this to help preserve It and thought the exhibit wt»uld be . 1 giH»d way to raise awareness in the San Luis L')bis|»o community concerning Tibet."During this time, Hodges worked diligently, collecting historical icons, information and art from Tibetan friends around the country.Photographer S«»nam Zoksang lent some of his compelling work to Hodges, who incorporated it into the artistic ass«»rtment.Zoksang has a very real and personal connection to TiK't that is evident in his photos. Bom in the small Tibetan village of Kyirong, he wasonly i»ne month old in 1%0, when his family fled to India to esc.ipe the volatile regime imposed b\ the Cdtinese, which h.id then spread to all portions of the country.Growing up in refugee s c h o o ls in India m.ide him .in eyew itness n» the horrors surrounding him.“Over the last seven years, I have seen the Tibetan situation getting worse and worse," he said. “L'hie ploy by the government is the p<»licy of population transfer, whereby Cdunese citizens are given incentives to move to TiK-t.

Yet cl(»se to moment of recognition, the viewer seems to shy away, retreating into a fog similar to the disviriented moments of wakening.“Sometimes you think you can see an image and sometimes you can’t," said Hope Myers, member of San Luis Art Gallery.In the painting “Guardian,” Myers points out what she perceives as a head and shoulders.“It’s a subtle suggestion rather than an iuitright suggestion,” Myers said. “It’s what the viewer sees in the painting that counts.”Mary Meng Wade, or “Meng” as rhe signature on rhe canvases reads, includes both “Scattering” and “Guardian” along with several oil paintings and a handful of water- colors in her show “Labyrinth,” which is currently featured at the San Luis Art Gallery.As this mimth’s featured artist at the gallery, Meng will show her work through Feb. 25.Meng is most noted for her large and colorful paintings based on concepts of what she calls “sound- image.”“In both music and art there is line, volume, dimension, texture emotion and form,” Meng said. “Music is an abstract art. You can’t make a ‘thing’ out of music. C'olor Itself is very abstract too. There is color in music.”Meng was raised as ,i musician, raking up the pi.ino in the second grade.

Instead of the perfect 6.0 score, an expanded panel of 14 judges would give double-digit scores based on points for difficulty and execution of skill. Out of those 14 scores, seven would be randomly picked by a computer to count.It is a good thing that the Russians made obvious mistakes in their routine. Otherwise, this cheating might never have been brought to light.The gold medal was not taken away from the Russians, but an additional gold medal was awatded to the Canadians.This was not the best way to handle the fiasco. Suspension of the judge is not a big enough punishment for fixing part of the world’s largest sporting competition. What is to stop the next judge from taking a bribe. ^ Risk of not being able to do it again is not a real threat.Granted, it the new scoring proposal passes it will be much harder for dealmaking among judges to work, but it will never be impossible. A strict punishment needs to be set tor any future judge who gets caught being dishonest.Also, by just slapping the Canadians with their own gold medal, neither pair of skaters can truly enjoy its triumph. Without a doubt, these are the two best figure skating pairs in the world, and they deserve a rematch. The current situation is especially unfair to the Russians, because if they were not involved in the coercion, then they should not be labeled as gold medal robbers. It is not fair to blame the Russians for stimething st>me of their countrymen did without their knowledge.Part of the problem lies in the nature of the sport. Judging figure skating is so subjective that it almost begs to he unfairly judged. The average viewers watch, and if it weren’t for the commentators telling them that landings were a little off and the height of jumps weren’t quite what they should have been, no one would know the act wasn’t perfect. The only objective mistakes that everyone can agree on arc falls and slips. Maybe figure .skating just is not a good sport to be part of the Olympics at all.Katrina Telfer is a journalism sophomore and Mustang Daily staff writer.Ahnold’ knows what he’s talking aboutHe may be famous for catchy one-liners, like “I’ll be back” or “Hasta la vista, baby,” but these days Arnold Schwarzenegger is inclined to talk about matters of a more serious nature.Schwarzenegger recently told The Orange County Register that the public is once again ready to view movies about terrorism. His latest film, “Collateral Damage,” opened Feb. 8, a release date that was pushed back several months _ in light of the ter-C p m .m e ^ ^ ^ ronst attack onSept. 11.In the movie, Schwarzenegger plays a fireman out to avenge the deaths of his wife and daughter, both killed in a terrorist bombing.The release of “Collateral Damage” brings up a time-sensitive issue: Is it too soon post-Sept.ll for a terrorist-themed movie?I’m going to have to side with Ah-nold on this one.While 1 do believe it was appropriate to postpone the original release date of Oct. 5 because of the terrorist attacks, 1 see no valid reason, more than five months after Sept. 11, to delay moviesof this nature any longer.Not t>nly do 1 think America can handle it, 1 think it might even be good for audiences to watch a flick that sort of pays tribute to a fireman less than six months after firemen were so revered by the American public. This tremendous display of bravery, hard work and dedication is one of such magnitude that it should not go unnoticed for fear of dredging up past horrors.The events of Sept. 11 were a series of cowardly acts that stole the lives of thou.sands of innocent people, but they should not and cannot be ignored simply because they bring up too many painful memories. Unfortunately, these attacks are forever embedded in our minds and will continue to be incorporated as part of American history.There have been plenty of tragic occurrences in our nation’s history that most of us would just as soon forget about altogether because the harsh reality is just too hard to face. Pearl Harbor, anyone?However, the chilling truth is that we have to deal with it so we can try to prevent future attacks of a similar nature. Burying monumentalLetter to th e e d ito rFee increase is realistic solution to keeping quality educationEditor,Students should vote in favor of the propi^ ised college-based fee increases. Tliere is no inher realistic, practical source ftir much-needed hinds. Many stand opposed to the fee increases, wishing to stay the course and send a message that the Gal Poly administration necxls to work more efficiently, more effc*c- tively. However, with difficulties in state politics, budgets, C?al State University policy, as well as Gil Poly policy, the only sure way to provide for a quality education is to provide Kir it ourselves.Seen in the worst light, the C?al Poly administration hinders progress and quality, while either allowing or encouraging waste. TTie only things that ever get done on this campus seem to be the things that circumvent the administration. In the past, some big things that bypassed the administration were w'aste- Kil or of low priority (ASl fc*e increases, $11 million Spxirts Gimplex). Since the administration seems unable to provide for the high-priority items, we should concentrate on walking the path that ASI and athletics have used successfully for years: pursue student funds.Non-administration funding paths have a proven track record for success. Note that ASl has easy funding, easily getting inflation-adjustment fee increases, as well as constantly broadening the scope of services that they provide. In addition, the athletics department has done very well in the past, securing student fees, external funding, alumni support, partnerships and c<.x)peration with ASI and Rxindatu>n to provide for a program that gets very little money from the state. This works so well that even with the pixir state economy and decreasing state funding, the athletic department can still go ahead with its planned $8 million highest-bid Kxit- ball stadium.Gmtnist the.se success stories with the agriculture department, which has its prime land paved over by the Sports Gimplex and new buildings alike, and has to fend for itself to rebuild the facilities. Al.s built on the same old softball field, but these are expeases that the state diKss niit cover. Administnition has aLso been known to cut budgets in proportion to the amount a department raises from outside stiurces (You nii.sed $2 million? Great! That’s $2 million le.ss you’ll he seeing from us.). Tliese are problems that simply “waiting on the administration” will not fix.l\'partments need to he able to refine and improve the pathways for external funding. 1 can’t see from all departments’ perspectives, but for the mechanical engineering department, as well as many of the technical departments, real progress, innovation, or even just keeping up to date requires Kmding in addition to state dollars. Part of the reason that the ME department has elone st) well is that it has already reached out to lots of industry sponsors to fund and supply the vital ME labs. In present nc*edy times, we should put in some money as well.It would be nice to see the administration refomi into a more efficient entity, but with budget cuts, increasing enrollments, lack of state support and a stilt of “mi-ssion creep” that has this university doing more than it can handle, I wouldn’t hold my breath.I would LOVE to hear when Chancellor Reed declares Cal Poly’s next huge enrollment increase that Warren Baker walks into his office with a sheaf of reports showing that Cal Poly dexsn’t have the financial, logistic, geographic or faculty support to allow such an increase. “Show me the money,” Baker wtxild say in my fairy-tale dream. “Show me the money," wixild he the cry every time the state wishes to mandate yet another arbitrary or brixid requirement. Two hundred two units for an ME degree, plus any time forco-op? Show me the money. Additional GE units, as well as a requirement for remedial education for those who learned nothing in high schtxil? Show me the money.Any requirement or increase in university requirements should be met with the required amount of cash, but this is just a dream. 1 agree with those who .siy that the state should be the primar>- benefactor for a state schixil. 1 agree also that the administration should work more efficiently and that priorities .should K.' put back into their proper place. These are all nice things in concept, but if at the end of the day we w;int to see any real progress, we’n.' going to have to reach into our own ptvkets.

While not legally sanctioned as was the case in the South, many found the form of racism in San Luis Obispo to he of a more latent variety.As in communities nationwide, former athletes from the 1950s remember forming areas in town where they felt comfortable, said former Cal Poly basketball player and San Luis Obispo resident Theo ["Hinn, who started at Cal Poly in 1955.“In the community of San Luis Obisfxi I don’t want to say there was a zone, but there was definitely an area where the black people lived,” l>inn said. “There were certain places where you knew you weren’t wanted.”Former Athletic Director Vic Buccola played alongside L\mn during the 1950s. Altht)ugh he dcx;s not recall any sp>ecific incidents within the community, he admits to being somewhat unaware of black issues at the time.“As a student athlete, 1 was oblivious to a lot of that,” he said.During his years coaching, however, he remembered a different concern. While he said students generally felt accepted on campus, they often faced problenis on a stxrial level, mainly as it related to dating.“1 remember students saying that they couldn’t find a date for various events,” he said.Liter, during his tenure ;is Athletic Director from 1973-81, Buccola found that the emphasis had shifted away from racial issues to those of gender. Title IX was signed into law in 1972, and Cal Poly, like universities across the country.COURTESY PHOTO/CAL POLY SPORTS INFOPerry Jeter's 1957 football trading card while on the Chicago Bears.was still adapting.Though he said it was not an epidemic problem. Chandler rememhered- incidents occurring in the community in which black students at the university were denied housing or were turned away from various establishments.To combat these issues. Chandler remembered holding meetings with both Black Student Union representatives and community members. TTie problem, he found, did not often lie in iHitward racism, but in a lack of information aKiut the plight of black people.“1 don’t want it to sound like this was Georgia or Alabama, but there were isolated incidents,” he said. “(The black students) had legitimate grievances. We tried to correct them.”On the roadTmveling was another story entirely. On the rixrd, the team found the segregation to be far more blatant. Both at universities and in the surroundingcommunities, black team members were often forced to conform to rules they might not have been used to in California.Dunn remembered one specific incident at a hotel in Kansas City that had such policies.“(The black athletes) were told up front not to go in the front door,” he said.The hotel had no such policy for the white athletes.At a college in Texas he declined to name, Chandler recalled an incident involving future Chicago Bear halfback and Cal Poly alumnus Perry Jeter in which he was turned away from a restaurant because he was black. The team followed suit and tcx>k their business to a restaurant across the street.“1 will never forget that,” Jeter said. “Vic (Buccola) and those guys really made up their mind that we were a unit.”It was that kind of team unity thatboth Jeter and Dunn said made their experience at Cal Poly an enjoyable one. As a group, he said, the team banded together to form a kind of close-knit family, one that, for the time, was fairly colorblind.This was an attitude that was echoed by the Cal Poly coaches. At a time when black athletes at schools throughout the country were being shut out of sports, Dunn remembered that his coaches judged athletes strictly on their physical prowess.“One thing you could say about the coaches was that if the guy had the athletic ability, he played,” he said.Looking backNearly 50 years later, Jeter fondly remembers his time at Cal Poly and with the Bears. While there were some unpleasant experiences on the road, it was the team’s unity that kept the experience positive.Jeter, a retired physical education teacher now living in Ohio, said that Cal Poly played a crucial role in his life, one he would not trade.“1 was one of the fortunate ones,” he said. “1 can’t visualize it any other way. The g(.x)d Lord blessed me.”Dunn, a retired PG&E employee, returned to San Luis Obispo after he moved to the Bay Area and found the atmosphere in those communities to be no different. It was with that in mind that Dunn and his wife decided to make their life in San Luis Obispo, a community he said holds many good memories.Overall, he said, it was the gcxid memories that made him decide to stay all these years.“You try not to remember the bad, but St) much is overshadt)wed by the bad,” Dunn said.ATHLETICScontinued from page 20the members of the athletic department were Ux)king at mtwing from l^vision II to Diviskm I competition. In this transition, gender equity was one of the many comptments that was addressed, McCutcheon said. To be in compliance with Title IX, universities were required to have participation and scholarship opportunitic*s that were in proptrrtion to enrollment.With limiteil resources, McCutcheon said the athletic department put a cap on the squad size for men’s teams in order to attain the participation goals they had for women’s teams. Over the years, they were able tir reach the squad size limits and scholarship limits for Knh programs.“We are now on an even keel between men’s and women’s pmgrams,” McCutcheon said.Trying not to hurt the men’s programs while simultaneoasly finding and adding resources to the wixnen’s program has been the goal for the athletic department, McC'utcheon said. The areas of impnwement for the women’s athletics now mim>rs that of the men’s.Overall, McCutcheon said that Gil Poly has not had any problems with Title IX complacency. However, a number of years ago the CSU system was named in a lawsuit filed by the California chapter of the National Organization of Wtimen for gender inequity. The case was settled out of axirt.As a result, strict guidelines were established concerning participation levels, funding and scholarship i s^pcmu- nities. Cal Poly is one of only eight state universities that currently complies with all three guidelines, McCutcheixt said.Support for women’s athletics has improvcsJ greatly since Stalhird was a ccxich. Lisa Boyer, head softball coach, siiid that in her 14 years at Cal Poly the program has made incredible progress.“We’ve made .substantial jumps,” she said. “But the program has nx>m to grow.”When Stallard ctxiched the team, softball did not have a field but instead played in the fxitball stixlium. TTie team then moved to a field that w;is built by faculty behind the Foundation warehixjse, Boyer said, and now the team plays in one of the nicest stadiums on the West Gxist.“ BRIEFS CONTINUEDmustang ï;" I Î ~ r ií.' =• -xÏ “ l ì A DBASKETBALLcontinued from page 20on.TTie team will Icxik to pick up its game for an upcoming road trip, polishing it up with some new attitude and moving on.
