Most cases of pneumonia donot prove fatal, but like anythingelse that has to do with yourhealth it isa good idea to becomeaware of its signs and symptomsso you will know when to contactyour health-care provider.
Since pneumonia is notsomething you normally catchfrom someone else, and usuallydevelops because one's ownimmunity is weakened, the bestplan is to prevent pneumoniafrom occurring. To strengthen eata balanced diet, exercise regular-ly, don't smoke, drink lots ofwater and get plenty of rest.
If preventive practices fail,watch for these symptoms ofpneumonia: fever, chills; sweat-ing and a flushed appearance;loss of appetite; upset stomach;labored, shallow or rapid breathbreathing; pain in the chest(especially when taking a deepbreath) and/or a cough that pro-duces mucus' from the lungs.Although by themselves none of .these symptoms present definitesigns of pneumonia, they remainworth knowing.
Pneumonia' can occur on itsown or it may mimic or follow acold, the flu or bronchitis. That's

B.su Theatre students and facultymembers will compete at the annu-al American College Theatre
Festival (ACTF)beginning Feb. 15 at theUniversity of Idaho campus in Moscow,Idaho. Winners of the regionals earn the
honor of traveling to the KennedyCenterfor .the Performing Arts at Washington,D.C. in mid-Marchfor the national ACTFcompetition. Winners at the KennedyCenter will receive scholarships.
Dr.RichardKlautsch, Chairof the BSUTheatre Department, helps the studentsand faculty for the trip to Moscow.
"All the students have worked veryhard and are excited about going to thecompetition. Wehave four plays that havebeen chosen and TamaraShores, a studenthere, wrote one of them. We also havefour actors who will be in the Irene Ryanacting competition. This is very challeng-ing for the students because, although
. they may have excused absences for a,week while we're gone, they will need tofinish assignments ahead of time in theirother classes' before they can go on thetrip," says Klautseh.
Tentatively 30 students and facultymembers will travel to Moscow,and the-,atre-retated classes will not place duringthe week of their absences.
The four students selected to competein the Irene Ryan acting competition areLynn Berg, Eden Teagle, Neil Brookshire,and Courtney Boht The four BSUproduc-tion plays 0 to be performed include "The
, Major,'''Why Don't We Fish," written byShores, "Still Life," and "Mundome," writ-ten by Ann Hoste and directed by AnnKlautsch.
"Mundome" stage manager NickieShell says, "Everyone is looking forward togoing up to NlJscowbut we have a lot ofwork to do before we go. Our plays wereoriginally set up for a thrust stage (audi-
o ence members are seated whereby theymay view the play from the front and thesides of the stage) and we will have to re-
stage them for a proscenium arch design(all audience members sit in front of thestage)."
The Special Events Center handles thesets that will be loaded on to a BSUtruckfor the haul to the Uof I.Students and fac-ulty members will drive in BSUvans. Theywill stay at the Motel 6 in NlJscowand BSUwill cover all trip expenses.

Wewill be doing aproduction. of 'Cinderella' only a weekafter we get back home so, once we'vestarted the regionals, we could use anyhelp we can get to stay focused on our taskat hand.

Buying booksover the-Internetmay cause moreheadache thanit's worth
Jasonl'AJlertck _Spedallo '\be Aliter --'
Because buying books is crucial to student life, and so areprices, capitalism has found an electronic way to providethese items at lower costs than those at mainstream book-
stores. Students can find one such site on the Internet, at WIZE-UP.com.
WIZEUP.comoffers the first three chapters of a book for free,as well as helpful study tips, a highlighter, note taking styles and
.organization suggestions. The list of colleges currently using thiscompany is extensive and includes Boise State.
But one of the downsidesto WIZEUP.comcomeswhen try- fiing to find a specific work. Even if required books are avail- ~able, students have to know each text titles needed for a fD-,semester at school. All that time spent searching could go •nrtoward studying. 2"
Also,WIZEUP's prices only come out to about $2-$3 ~cheaper than what the BSUBookstore charges fqr new books. ....pUsedbooksaverage $3-$5 less than those purchased over the ~Internet. :8

Mary Cutrufello hasbeencompared to the likesof Bruce Springsteen,
Melissa Etheridge and PattiSmith. The latter seems far-fetched, but Cutrufello'sdebut album, When the Nightis Through, follows the gener-al back-country-road vibe of manyheartfeltSpringsteen andEtheridgesongs.

Boise State basketball has asurprising new face thisseason. It's not Abe Jackson
or Richard Morgan. It's notKejuan Woods' ever-changinghairstyles. It doesn't score,rebound, or block shots, but thenew face is definitely having animpact on the program.
The collective face in ques-tion belongs to the, 'rzerkies", theloud-mouth, trash-talking,orange-clad lunatics of the stu-dent section.
If you've been attendinggames you know who they are. Ifnot, a visit to the Pavilion mightbe in order.
The Zerkies formed near theend of last season, when a groupof students noticed a serious lackof fan participation at homegames and decided to do some-thing about it. Five of themdonned orange T·shirts andvowed to stand, if not jump,scream and point, dUring theentire game.

Broncos' two-game road sweep lands them in first placeBut the game was never close. The Broncos explod·
ed to a 13-4 lead early in the game, putting to rest anyquestions about who is the better team.
Behind a near- perfect match from Berto, .(10-14 ';"shooting including 4·6 threes and 26 points), the Broncosran the Aggies into the ground from the get go, winningby 19 over a team touted as the Best in the (Big) West.
BSU's defense held NMSU'sBilly Keys to 15, and theentire Eagle ~ffense toa mere 48 points on the night,while the offense drained just about everything they putup.
The victory opened the door for the Broncos, who.now control their own fate sitting atop the Big West con-ference. But these Aggies roll into town on Saturday night ',.looking to redeem themselves in their bid for a share ofthe title.

The Broncos took over first place in the EasternDivision of the Big West Conference with. two hugeroad wins at North Texas and New MeXICOState,
improving to 15·5 overall, 8·2 in conference. But it wasthe 1·18 North Texas Eagles who proved the more difficultopponent for the Broncos, who hung on for a 78·71 victo-ry. Two days later in Las Cruces, BSUtrounced the 15·7New Mexico State Aggies 67-48.
Last thUrsday, as the Boise State men's basketballteam engaged the lowly North Texas Eagles in Denton,they only needed three players: Berto, who scored agame high 26 points; Washington, who scored 15; andKejuan "Roadfire" Woods with 20 in the game. Together,the three accounted for 61 of the Broncos' 78 total
