numerous legislators, Ibecame increasingly awareof the general misunder-standing of the actualseverity of the fundinginequity ... they were notaware of the uniqueobstacles Boise State faces,"Mathias said.Currently, Boise State

year's $18.6 million universitybudget reduction resulted in a$7.9 million operations loss andthe deferral of the repairs andalterations to the West Boise :Campus. The loss was offset bythe increases in .student feestotaling '$4.9million:"We believe, as do most

Danny Glover to students: No war

Plt5:FiEE: Shelton WoodsBy Lauren Consuelo TussingThe Arbiter -------

"It wasn't until my 20sthat I had a spiritual experi-ence that made me aware ofhow important the universeand the world is. And that'swhat set me on the track ofwanting to be able to readand write effectively,"Woods said."I think also since I had

such difficulty with theEnglish language early on inmy life, it's almost funny thatI can sit and write in English.And so I think that part of theinspiration comes just fromthe opportunity to write." ,Woods' books range from

the history and culture ofVietnam to a book he editedabout the history of ValleyCounty in Idaho, but he ismost proud of the book ABroken Mirror; ProtestantFlIllIll/IllClIllllislll ill thePhilippillcs, which he wasworking on for the past tenyears."I think after it came out I

felt that it would be okay if Ididn't write anything the restof my life because this is astory that I wanted to tell andI was able to write it," Woodssaid.

"It was kind of like .. , itwas the one block that I hadto get out of the way before Icould move on and work onother things."Writing had become a part

of Woods' daily ritual. A self-proclaimed morning person,he arrives on campus at 6a.m. He begins 'his dayworking out, meditating andwriting."In terms of having the

energy to put something outoriginal .. , the hardest thingis just staring at a blank pieceof paper and putting some-thing down. And I have moreenergy in the morning tobegin the process than I doany other time during theday," he said.Woods feels that nothing

matches the experience ofimmersing oneself in a story.The experience of discover-ing the plot and characters ina story is an inspiration forhis writing."So, I think what inspires

me to write is trying to figureout what people are thinkingand the unfolding of a story.If I can do that, then I'mreally happy," Woods said.This notion has also

influenced the way Woodsteaches a class., "I always tell my studentsmy class is like a puzzle andif you miss a class you miss apiece of the puzzle becauseI'm unfolding a story here,"he said.

Growing 'up in thePhilippines, Boise State histo-ry professor Shelton Woodsstruggled with speakingmultiple languages,including Tagalog, Ilocanoand English.. "Because I grew up speak-mg several languages, Inever really mastered one ofthem, especially grammati-cally," Woods said.Woods initiated teaching

himself how to speak well,and his interest in historyand writing expanded.His focus on academia

eventually led him to wherehe is today, acting as anassociate professor ofEast/Southeast Asian historyand dean of the College ofSocial Science and PublicAffairs, with four bookspublished in the last year andtwo more on the way.Living as a minority in the

Philippines sparked a keencultural awareness andcuriosity in Woods' mind.This unique viewpoint gavehim the foundation that hewould eventually build hiscareer on.Woods moved to the

United States permanently atthe age of 23 when he beganattending college.

Beware of-authenticity___in'American Indian art

By Ben BlicldeDaily Northwestern(Northwestern U.) ----

EVANSTON, - Be carefulwhat you buy, said AndyAbeita, an American-Indianarts advocate, Thursday.night at the MitchellMuseum of the AmericanIndian in Evanston, Ill.Abeita, who has been

selling stone artwork for thepast 20 years, estimated that50 percent of the Indian-themed art advertised asauthentic in shops andgalleries in the United StatesISactually fake.Many of the art pieces

have been crafted from castsin the Philippines andMexico, but manufacturersclaim they have anAmerican-Indian origin toraise their selling prices.In many cases, these

manufacturers replace semi-precious stones with plastic,he said. But Abeita concedesthere are some consumerswho do not care if the pieceis real, as long as it rooksauthentic. ."I am worried about the

people who care' about theculture and want to supportthe culture," Abeita said.Abeita also described his

artwork for the crowd ofabout 30 people.Born in Chicago and

raised in Canada, he movedto the Isleta Pueblo reserve inNew Mexico when he was 8years old. Soon after, he tookan interest in replicatingAmerican-Indian art that haspaid off. Some of Abeita'sworks have sold for morethan $30,000.In order to transform

stone into a work of art,Abeita said he usually beginsby selecting a stone the sizeof a loaf ofbread. As he cutsthe stone, he pays specialattention to how it cracks.Based on these cracks,

Abeita decides how to shapethe stone into an animalform. He uses sand paperand sponges to mold thestone into the final product.. "Each rock takes shape on

its Own," Abeita said.Abeita uses semi-precious

stones, minerals and shells tocreate small figures ofanimals known as fetishes,he said. The Pueblo believethese "figures have the powerto assist people withproblems.Whenever purchasing a

.piece that is being advertisedas American-Indian art,Abeita advises the consumerto find out as much informa-tion as possible. Ask whomade it, what tribe the artistbelongs to, what materialswere used and if it ishandmade, he said..' "Get it in writing," Abeitasaid. .Another option to ensure

the origin of the work is tobuy American-Indian artfrom one of the more' than700 stores in the UnitedStates endorsed by theIndian Arts and CraftsAssociation.The Mitchell Museum also

distributes pamphlets withtips for consumers interestedin buying American-Indianart.The museum instructs

consumers to look for silvermarked as sterling, stonesthat are ..natural rather thanstabilized and guaranteesthat the piece is handmade.Mike 'Mullin, an attorney

who represents American-Indian artists, explained thatCongress passed a federallaw that prohibits amanufacturer from evensuggesting that a piece of artis authentic if it is not.Enforcement of this law is

difficult, however.Mullin has filed a class

action suit on behalf ofAmerican-Indian artists andsaid he plans to take his firstcase to trial before the end ofthe year."The hope is that there

will be a movement toenforce the law," Mullinsaid."Unfortunately, the peo-

ple who will have to enforceIt is the artisans themselves."

Step Afrika! to perform at BSU

I,

By Tammy SandsThe Arbiter ------

For the first time in Idaho,Step Afrikal, an energetic,tribal dance performance, iscoming to campus.Step Afrika! has

performed on stages inNorth America, Europe andSouth Africa, reaching thou-sands of people each year.Leana Vitruk of the

Student Programs Board,said, "I would think thatsince it's a culturalperformance, the audiencewill be able to learn from it."The performance will

include dances such asstepping, tap, Zulu and gum-boot from South Africa,clogging, hip-hop, house andfreestyle.Body slapping, stomping

and shouting in the dance

number, "Shhhhl," inspiredby schoolyard games, isamong the favorite dancepieces. One reviewer noticedthe dancers wear bootsinstead of tap shoes to dothese high-energy dances.Founded in December

1996 and based inWashington, D.C., StepAfrika! USA (SAUSA) is theAmerican arm of thehistoric festival in Soweto,South Africa-Step Afrika! is plore thana.

and clinics at the KennedyCenter, Young Audiences,the MOJA' Festival and in

schools and community-based organizations acrossthe nation, in which StepAfrika! spotlights theAfrican-American art form ofstepping and its links toworldwide dance traditions.In addition, the company

offers year round classes onthe tradition of stepping."We're trying to get

By Aaron RichterThe Mmleater (U. Missol/ri)-

COLUMBIA, Mo.-Listening to the Bigger

Cages, Longer Chains EP bythe (International) NoiseConspiracy has given meinspiration.Lately, I have successfully

organized a student uprisingover my fascist microeco-nomics professor, and I haveoverthrown the oppressive,capitalist manager at my job.: .I am a voice of the people, .leading the common man torise up against his overseersand spreading Marxistequality wherever I go. Well,not really, but the T(I)NC'snew EP fills me with thesetypes of ideas.

Bigger Cages, Longer Chainsdelivers music with the biteof a pit bull being slappedaround with a leg of lamb ..As in past releases, this

Swedish quintet continues toblend punk rock with itsown brand of anti-capitalistpolitics.With major social and

musical influences from theClash, T(I)NC conveysdeeply political messagesthrough high-energy rockthat IS typical of recentSwedish musical arrivals.The album begins with

Bigger Cages, Longer Chains, atrack taken from T(I)NC'slatest full-length release, A

New Momil1g, ChungingWeather.We are greeted with a

song lead-in similar to that ofElvis Costello's "Radio,Radio." .Soon enoug!l. a saxophone

wails its way through a tightsounding rhythm sectionand melts perfectly into thekeyboard, giving the song anexcellent blend of punk, funkand a touch of ska.The political commen-

taries of T(I)NC areconsistently hammered intothe listener's head through.the lyrics. This stuff isn'tsubtle, either.Take a line from

"Beautiful So Alone," forexample: "Like new treatiseof free movement for thechosen few' / and in thisworld ofnew economy thereis just no room for you."In "A Textbook Example,"

the band attacks theeducation system Pink Floydstyle: "Expression's not thateasy when you're taught tobe a foo!."T(I)NC's expressed ideas

are not just for show. Theliner notes contain quota-tions of inspiration for eachof the songs along with whatappears to be suggestedreading listed by title andauthor.Never have I known a

band that cared so muchabout its lyrical topics that it

encouraged its listeners tostudy further.Something you normally

would not expect from sucha political band is thatT(I)NC's music issincrediblydanceable. Each musicianplays with funkysyncopation.Italmost seems as if lead

singer Dennis Lyxzen (x, yand z all in one last name?) isdoubling as James Brownand his band is crisplyresponding to every yelf of .his voice or movement a hisbody. <Speaking of body 'move-

ments, four music VIdeos areincluded with the six-songEP. The videos provide ataste of the excitement ofT(I)NC's live performances.Each one contains the

band members in matchingoutfits going completely~nsane while playing ~heirmstruments. Lyxzen pullswild stunts with hismicrophone such as pro-peller . swings and even'tosses it. up, spins aroundand catches it only tocontinue singing.At one point the guitarist

even pulls a forward roll inthe middle of a solo. .To listeners who are

unfamiliar with T(I)NC,Bigger Cages, Longer Chainsprovides an excellent taste ofwhat the band is all about.

The.spirit of Boise State's founders still exists in today's remarkablestudent leaders. They will likely assume leadership roles in ourcommunities, in their professions, and as Boise State alumni.

Each year a select group of graduating students who havedemonstrated' exceptional leadership, service, academic achievementand appreciation of diversity will be inducted into the Founders'Leadership Society.

If the Forest Servicegives Brundage theauthorization to proceed,construction will beginon the expansion at theend of this season.With the recent

growth Brundage hasseen, its snow-cat skiingprogram has been thriv-mg as well. If your hard-earned student-loanmoney is burning a holein your pocket, there's nobetter way to' enjoy thesteep and deepuntouched snow of thebackcountry. .This season, Brundage

is offering a new cat-ski-ing package that includestwo days of cat skiing orboarding and a third dayat Brundage Ski Resortwith lodging at a high-mountain yurt for $495.Single-day cat-skiing

packages led by qualifiedguides are available for$200, and half-day tripsare offered for $125. Thepackages include the useof Volant ChubbsPowder Skis.Brundage hopes to

continue last year's suc-cess, and the manage-ment has decided not toraise prices this Winter.The season passes anddaily lift-ticket prices willremain the same to helpencourage more peopleto experience the won-ders 9f Brundage.

If small crowds andquality snow appeal toyou, then BrundageMountain, is the place tobe.Brundage receives

only a small fraction ofthe crowds Bogus Basindoes, and with the coldertemperatures, Brundagehas a deeper base ofsnow.The winters are mag-

nificent at Brundage.From the top of the resortyou can spy breathtakingviews of Payette Lake,Salmon River Mountains,the Eagle Cap Wildernessof Oregon and the SevenDevils peaks above HellsCanyon.Last year, Brunda1?e,

set new mountamrecords for both atten-dance and season-passsales. Combined with-the390 inches of snow theyreceived last year,Brundage general man-ager Larry Shake said itwas the best season in themountain's 40-year histo-ry.Part of the success

Brundage experiencedlast season was due totheir drop-in season passrates. The managementdecided last year tomatch Bogus Basin's sea-son-eass rate Of $199.This helped the resort tosee its best pre-seasonpass sale numbers ever,seIling 4,600 passes bythe end of spring.For those who ride or

ski both mountains, thetwo resorts have collabo-rated to offer a combopass to both resorts for$375.This season, Brundage

is offering a shuttle serv-ice from Boise.The bus is scheduled

to leave at 7 a.m. fromWal-Mart on State Streetevery Friday andSaturday in January. Theshuttle will leaveBrundage at 4:45 p.m.and arrive back in Boisearound 7 p.m. The cost is$20 for a round trip.According to

Brundage President JuddDeBoer, several improve-ments were made on themountain during the off-season as well, the mostnoteworthy being theclearing of additionaltrees for expanded treeskiing. Minor improve-ments have also beenmade to the lodge.The resort is currently

in the waiting stagesbefore major overhaulplans can be put inmotion. Brundage sits onfederal land, and isawaiting governmentapproval before develop-ment will be allowed.The current plan is to

open up the resort toSergeant's Peak, the nextmountain over fromBrundage. The expansioninvolves adding fiveadditional Iiftsand hun-dreds .pf more skiableacres."The final proposal is

into the forest service forreview, and we hope to .
