Implications of campus smoking ban reach farther than 25 feet
As a former cigarette smoker, I do not condone smoking. I don't want to encourage anyone to start smoking: both for health reasons, and because the extreme measures smokers must take to keep their smoke to themselves is very inconvenient. But cigarette smoking is still legal, whether you partake or not, that's the bottom line.
T h e smoking lounge, now fading in me mory, was once an indoor Eden in the SUB. Sitting in the lounge gave one a different sort of feeling than any other room in the SUB; people talked to strangers around them, played chess, and were generally a pretty friendly group, even if you didn't smoke. Smoking was already quite politically incorrect, and soon the outcry arose that smoke from the lounge was bothering students in the hall. The MSU smokers were sorry, and said they'd be willing to donate money to put a door to the lounge and solve the problem. There was a p e tition . But evidently smoke in the halls was not the problem, because no doors were ins talled . Instead , they put in a bank. And everyone knows how often you get to smoke in a bank.
Sadly, MSU smokers were thrown outside, to huddle under overhangs in belowfreezi ng temperatures in th e winter and swelter in the sum mer. But now, it seems, that isn't even legal.
Walking on campus the other day, I noticed a new sign on Linfield Hall : NO SMOKING WITHIN 25 FEET OF THE BUILDING. My first question was how anyone could get their cigarettes into the ashtrays (which arc next to the buildings) from 25 feet
away. Projectile lit-cigarette butt motion near doorways has to be more hazardous to your health than breathing in a few diluted lungfulls of carbon monoxide.
Of course, smokers shouldn ' t be allowed to smoke everywhere, because smoke does smell bad , causes health problems and allergies, and is very annoying, even "disgusting" to some. Good thing there are separate smoking and non-smoking sections of restaurants. Like everything else,
Charity Heller Exponent Columnist
there is a time and a place for a cigarette.
Even though the new law didn ' t
seem to be enforced (and how could it be?) it still seems to be a form of segregation, a deliberate measure to narrow the already limited rights of smokers. Doesn't that seem to privilege non-smokers far above smokers? Cigarette smokers make up a large, undiscriminating minority group tha t is not particular to race, sex, age, or social or economic status. Isn't that at some level, sort of like having to get up o n a bus, go s tand in the back, and give your seat to Whitey?
What is next for smokers? Will they be h erded into pens or holding tanks to have their socially unacceptable cigarette, and be detoxed before be ing released into the nonsmoking world? Maybe it will come to pass tha t separate but equal campuses will be built, and we can have an MSU- Bozeman Smoking.
I was having lunch with a friend a few days ago who went to MSU in the 1960s. She mentioned that when she was in coll ege, smoking was allowed not only near buildings, but in the classrooms. Smoking in class? A lot of people did it, she explained, there were

Strange way of casting a musical spell Jim Lasher ExPonem Writer
At the right time and place people become subject to a stimulus that entrances their bodies and sends them into convulsions. On Friday night the Cat's Paw was the right place to be when Burlington. Vt. band Strange Folk had even the bartenders dancing.

When they are not on the road Strange Folk is busy producing CDs for their label, Manunoth Records. If you are a George Clinton & P-Funk All Stars junkie, the label should sound familiar.
Strange Folk has created three mesmerizing albums. including their latest CD. Weightless 1i1 T Voter. The album reveals the original lyrics and vocal harmonies the fourmember band is known for.
Strange Folk's signature sound comes in four flavorsfolk, rock, blues and bluegrass. Once these flavors are blended into a bass, two acoustic guitars, and drum. the innovative mix becomes full of strange surprises. Reid Genauer strums the rhythm guitar and is the lead vocalist. Jon Trafton backs up Genauer on vocals and lead guitar and Erik Glocker lays down the bass lines while Luke Smith beats away on his drums.
Strange Folk was founded by Genauer and Trafton when they teamed up at the University of Vermont. Glocker was their neighbor, and he introduced Smith to the group. In 1992, they started playing in fraternities and

Women are from Venus Tori Amos praves why she is still queen of melancholy
~shley Brodie uonent Features Editor
To Venus and Back is, " ... an emotional lixir, with a little bit of Dionysian frenzy thrown 1, which resonates with the feeling world, not :ie thinking world, where 1ood and wire become ne," stated Tori Amos in n interview about her new ?lease.
To Venus and Back 1arks number five on Amos' st of solo Atlantic release ::complishments. This two.bum set begins with Venus lrbitzng, a newly concocted :ea.lion of songs, along with 'enu.s live. Stz'll Orbiting, a >llection of the highlights om the 1998 "Plugged" world tour.
While Amos found herself on a truly artistic tUsical journey, this a lbum compiled itself .agically in an unconscious effort.
Her notorious icy-liquid lilt listlessly flows 1roughout the album, taking the listener through ?r melancholy world. "Bl iss" begins Venus rbitzi1g, expressing the trying complexities of a ther/daughter relationship. Eerie liquid-synths
meld naturally with Amos' delicate, yet dark, voice in the beautiful, foreboding "Datura," named for the dream-provoking flower used in shamantic rituals.
"Riot poof is the gift that I leave as the tooth fairy under the pillows of homophobics," Amos said. "'Riot Poof isn't about dry. It's wet, I'm
puddles. That's my world." The first a lbum ends simply and serenely, with the love song " 1000 Oceans. " The second album from Amos' lates t energetic burst contains an eclectic vibrant mix of songs from her "Plugged" tour, which was her first collaboration with a full band.
Amos does all but falter while playin g live, as the vivid emotional images that her majestic voice creates continue to prevail.
Venus live. Still orbitzng contains an excellent version of "Cornflake Girl," along with others, as this album reflects her latest tour at its best.
Overall, Amos' new release conveys a wildly colored artistic approach to music. She refuses to win the audience with cheap, flashy cliches, fake furry lyrics, or trendy flavors, but rather invites the audience inside for quite an emotional ride, just as a true musician would.

Halloween and Thanksgiving are on the way and that means people are going to spend some time getting scared and then about three weeks later they're going to gorge themselves on food
Twenty-twt:ryearoldMSU student and entrepreneur Dale Mandeville has found a way to combine both. He calls it Pumpkin and Maze Days- an event that benefits local charities, gives people the opportunity to choose from Mandeville' crop of over 1,soo pumpkins, and "get lost" in a maz.e.
It takes a 1ot to build a maze Mandeville said. His required 2,soo straw bales and 350 hours to set up.
"The straw bales are arranged into walls and you have to find you 'r e way through .... It's taking people anywhere from 25 minutes to
an hour to get through," Mandeville said.
The maze rovers an area of about i,500 square feet with bales stacked too high to see over.
The event is Mandeville's second effort at maze building, the last year's being a scaled down model of the current one. Mandeville says he got the idea while wondering what he could build with the straw bales on his family's farm.
As part of Maze Days, which is Mandeville's private project, he donates a portion of the proceeds to Big Brothers and Sisters, Habitat for Humanity and the MSU chapter of IIE (a student industrial engineering organization).
The m aze is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday at the Mandeville fam1 located on Red Wmg Drive, one minute north of the Interstate 90/ North Seventh Avenue interchange. Admission is $ 2.50 and free for children under four years.

Sabbath influenced band to serve up their broodings Daniel Fox Exponent Features Editor
With a band name like Nebula, the music better contain some syrupy guitar riffs, it better be hem.y and it should have plenty of stid.')' bass drum kicks for punctuation.
Los Angeles-based band
Nebula has been kicking down their late 6o's, early 7o's style metal everywhere from Europe to Long Beach, and getting some great reviews while doing it. GQ magazine says Nebula " ... puts out a breathtaking form of 6o's powertrio rock that gets more psychedelic by the month." Not bad for a band that makes their money reinventing a genre that most bands never
launch past weak cover songs in suburban garages.
Nebula has been working its way across America in the general direction of Bozeman, where they will play the infamous Filling Station, a safe-house venue for thooe bands who still walk in the darker shadows of the music industry.

Folk: East coast group tri~~R,!!~s their following grew tremendously. After several years of touring and hard work, the group found themselves on the west stage of Woodstock '99.
"I saw them for the first time at a fraternity house. I had drank two gallons of water and was dead sober. They blew me away, and I thought to myself, 'what the hell are these guys doing in a frat house,'" said band roadie Evan Pinkney, when asked why he would choose to promote Strange Folk over the millions of other bands out there.
What is next for this relentless group? In February, their fourth CD is coming out. They plan
to keep traveling and playing their hearts out. "I would like to take the route of the Grateful

I am concerned when I read reports of 1radeoffs between the administration and the ASMSU resulting in unneccesary expenditures like a one million dollar weight room. I think improvements are needed, but not at that price. Why are we paying a local firm $117,000 to design it, when we have an architectural program here? Are they not in need or practical experience?

lady ~Cats fall to Lady Griz' in four sets nemStan
The University of Montana had four players 1ch double-figure kill totals en route to a 15-9, 5-
15-4, 15-7 v .. ;n over Montana State University turday night in Missoula.
Senior Sarah Parsons notched 15 kills, 13 ~s and five blocks, while teammate Erin Adams <led 14 kills, a -407 attack mark and 13 digs to ide the Lady Griz (14-4, 5-3). Also reaching uble-digits for UM were Kodi Taylor with 12 ls, and Katie Almquist \o\ith 11 kills and 14 digs. phomore Joy Pierce led all players with a itch-high 10 blocks.
Montana State (14-7, 4-4) was paced by junior ·phanie Laya with 20 kills and 12 digs, while ndy:..:owa.kandCo ( rpe d led10killsapiece. e Lady 'Cats were led at the net by Carper and
sophomore Julia Handwerk with four blocks each. Sophomore transfer Lorraine Monison notched a match-high 16 digs in the loss, while setter Brooke Olsen dished out 40 assists and chipped in five digs.
"This game revolves around serve-receive, and we didn't do a good job in that aspect of the match,' said MSU head coach Dave Gantt. "If you can serve-receive, it allows you to hang around and be in the match at the end, and we weren't able to accomplish that against Montana."
The Lady Griz jumped out early in the match, taking a 5-1 lead in game one. The Bobcats answered and tied the score at five. UM then went on an 8-1 run to take a 13-6 advantage and won the game on a Stephanie Laya hitting error.
In game two, MSU quickly changed the momentum, building a 10-0 margin and I l , . g off a late Montana charge to win thP ' me 1 5 on Cori Carper kill. Again, it wa_' lrt-.1 that came ut
strong in the third game, taking an early 7-2 lead. The Lady Griz then went on an 8-2 run to win the game 15-4.
In the final game of the match, the 'Cats took an early 2-0 advantage, before UM stormed back with 10 unanswered points to take a 10-2 margin. MSU closed to within 10-6, followed shortly by a Lady Griz block that ended the match.
The Bobcats finished the first half of the Big Sky Conference schedule "';th a 4-4 mark, and "'ill play six-of-eight league matches at home down the stretch.
"Shroyer Gym is familiar territory," Gantt said "We're a good team and we play well on our court. We still have a good chance to finish in the top four in the league."

Frustrated with the performance of his team following a loss that dropped Montana State to a 1-2 record in the Big Sky Conference, Bobcat head coach Cliff Hysell was quick to explain how things got out of hand against the Vikings.
"We talked all week long about not getting thundered early," Hysell said. "I can't put all of the blame on the defense, but they have to step up and make some stops."
It was early on that the Bobcats got "thundered "

With the chill) \\ eather setting in, most people would admit they would rather be inside a hot and stuffy gym than outside sitting in frigid stands at the football game. The long-awaited time has come for MSU basketball players to begin practice with the 1999/2000 season just around the corner. This new season will bring with it an altered team identity with the absences of Nate Holmstadt, second on the career scoring list, and Danny Sprinkle, the school's all-time three-point record holder. Also missing from will be Mike Henry and point-guard Jamie Hooper.
"Yes, we are a young team now," said tenth-year head coach Mick Durham. "But each of our players has a lot of experience and I am excited to watch them form together."
It was back to business for most players Saturday, as the first day of official basketball practice began promptly at 9 a.m. The majority of them, however, would say that basketball never ended in the first place.
In early May, when most MSU students were packing up their belongings and heading back home, it was off to Australia for eight players from the Montana State University men's basketball team. The Bobcats lost their first three games to the second-ranked Australian pro league, but finished their exhibition trip strong with five consecutive wins.
With the Austra lian experience behind them, the Bobcats continued lifting and

But now that the season has started, the smell of basketball is in the air and Bozeman fans are excited to see how MSU will perform.
"We are excited to get going," Durham said. "Our first game is Nov. 4 and we want the students behind this team."
Senior point guard Jeff Riggs, who averaged 9 points and 5 assists last season, is the Bobcats team captain and is expected to lead the team through turbulent seas to bring home victories. Also expected to heavily contribute to the team is sophomore Justin Brown (6.5 points per game).
Forward John Lazosk)', (7.1 ppg and 3.0 rpg) a junior starter from Billings West, and
sophomore Aaron Rich, who averaged 5 points-per-game last season as a true freshman are returning players who know what is needed to make magic happen.
Kyle Stinnlinger, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from Eagan, Minn., and Rufus Nicholson, a 6-foot-8 senior from Porterville, Cali., however, might have one of the hardest positions to fill -Nate Holmstadt's old position of post. Both players are up for the challenge.
..We are a fun and exciting group and it means a lot to us if the students come to our games," Durham said.
