State
President
Charles Ruch recently submitted an impact study to state
agencies
detailing
possible
effects of a 10 percent reduction in state funding.
Such a cut would reduce
next year's budget by nearly
$8 million from the current
one.
The results are grim:

Some of the chemical messengers involved in regulating
sleep have also been implicated
in depression.
Many of the
most widely prescribed antidepressants, such as Prozac, Paxil
and Zoloft, affect the balance of
serotonin. However, in some
patients, changing the serotonin balance can cause more
nighttime
awakenings
and
increase the number of shifts
between different sleep stages,
Armitage says.
When deciding how to treat
depression,
doctors need to
consider a patient's specific
sleep
complaint"
says
Armitage. In a 1998 study, she
and her colleagues found that
Prozac was as effective in treating depression as Serzone, an
antidepressant that affects the
brain's chemicals in a different
way. But the sleep patterns in
patients on Serzone were far
less disturbed than those on
Prozac, suggesting that it might
be a better choice for patients
with sleep problems.
The link between antidepressants and sleep is extremely important for treating both
depression and sleep disorders.
"If you ignore sleep disturbances in depressed patients,
there's an elevation in the risk
of relapse or recurrence," says
Armitage. "It elevates the risk
of suicide, as well."
One of the most common
sleep-pattern
changes
in
depressed people is a shortened period before the first
REM stage. Normally, the first
REM cycle begins about 90
minutes after falling asleep, but
in a depressed sleeper, it may
begin after just 60 minutes.' A
person who enters REM too
early will cut short the deep
sleep, necessary for biological
restoration and repair, that precedes the first REM cycle.
Another common pattern in
depressed people is too much
total REM sleep. "It requires a
lot of energy to maintain REM
sleep," Armitage says. "It's like
a jazzed-up wakefulness." Too
much REM sleep will leave
people feeling as if they have
been busy all night. And the
increase in REM sleep is at the
expense of the deep restorative
sleep.
The link between excess
REM sleep and depression is
highlighted
by the opposite
effect of too little REM sleep.
"Sleep deprivation in patients
with major depression
can
actually be helpful in relieving
depression," says Dr. Milton
Erman, a psychiatrist at the
University of California, San
Diego. Several studies have
shown that more than half of
depressed patients who skip a
night of sleep are noticeably
less depressed the following
day. The effect goes away after
a full night's sleep, however.
Other studies suggest that
selectively depriving a patient
of just REM sleep has a similar
effect, though it takes a few
weeks
of deprivation
to
improve the depression, and
the effects are longer-lived.
REM sleep abnormalities,
particularly early onset of the
first REM cycle, may become a
diagnostic tool for psychiatrists. Early REM onset could
be used to diagnose an existing
depressive disorder or to predict the likelihood that some"
one will develop major depression.
Donna Giles, director of the
Sleep Research Laboratory at
the University of Rochester
Medical Center in New York,
has found that 30 percent to 40
percent of depressed people
have early REM onset, and 60
percent to 70 percent of people
hospitalized
for depression
have it. Because
not all
depressed people have early
REM onset and around 20 percent of healthy people have it, it
might not be an effective diagnostictool.
However, in an ongoing
study, Giles and her colleagues,
including John Rush of the
University
of
Texas
Southwestern, have analyzed
the sleep patterns of more than
350 people in 70 families. They
discovered that people who
have a family history of depression, and who have early REM
onset, are twice as likely to
develop depression as those
without early onset. So the
REM abnormality
could be
used to gauge the likelihood
that a depressed person's family members
will become
depressed as' well.
Other drawbacks to using
sleep disorders to diagnose or

The Matriculation Fee as defined by the Idaho State Board of Education is the fee charged for the maintenance and operation of physical
plant, student services and institutional support for full-time students enrolled in academic credit courses and vocational pre-employment, preparatory J?rograms. The Matriculation Fee is allocated to the colleges and universities in Idaho as part of the state general
account appropnatlOn.
Boise State's FY2002 general account appropriation

In addition, unequal funding from the State Board of
Education makes budget cuts
more severe for Boise State
than for other Idaho universities, Blake said.
But Dolores
Crow,
(RNampa), House Revenue and
Taxation
Committee
chairwoman, said the tax cut is not
responsible for Boise State's
budget woes.
"If that $100 million would
have gone into growth of government, which it would have,
you would have more of an

Crow suggested

Crow also said higher education got a big budget increase
for the current fiscal year, and
even with a 10 percent cut
Boise State shouldn't be hurting too badly.
However, Max Black, (RBoise), Business Committee
chairman, said the tax cut is

cuts.
"By cutting taxes we obviously reduced revenue coming into the general fund,
which will contribute to the
shortfall," he said.
Black said that if the economy hadn't faltered, the tax cut
would have been a great success. However, with a recession the legislature must look
at reducing state agency budgets. In a worse case scenario,
legislators could raise taxes.

Student fee increases unjustified

But perhaps Ruch and state
legislators have forgotten this
truth, because they haven't
been working to keep higher
education accessible.
Here are some examples,

"Today's college students
rely more on loans. Of the $180
million in financial aid offered
to students on Idaho's fouryear campuses in FY 2000,
most of it (54.8 percent) came
in the form of loans. Ten years
ago, less than half (46.5 percent) of total financial aid
came from loans."
As these figures show,
higher education funding has
dropped and student fees have
increased. Older residents
who attended Idaho universities had a benefit that is now
denied to students - a ful1y
subsidized
education.
According
to the IdahoConstitution, students are only
to pay for room and board.
However, this ideal has
proved either too unrealistic,
or legislators and administra-
tors are unwilling to uphold
such an ideal.
Regardless, students at
Boise State have suffered. In a
typical scenario, a student
working full-time can barely
make ends meet, then has to
try and focus on attaining a
college degree. With time a

handicap to a good university
education.
The answer is to reverse the
trend of inadequate higher
education funding. However,
with the current recession,
now obviously is not the time
to make such an effort. Indeed,
it would be impossible.
But Ruch should focus on
cutting back all luxuries and
making sacrifices before raising fees. For example, students
seem more than wil1ing to put
off expansion of the Student
Union - although surely they
would appreciate more food
service options, a bigger bookstore, etc.
Ruch must be wi1ling to
make similar sacrifices. In
order to cut costs, Ruch could
examine several possibilities
suggested by ASBSUPresident
Nate Peterson.
Examples
include cutting administrative
positions and salaries, early
retirement packages for faculty and outsourcing some university services.
Rueh should also look at
averaging fee increases over a
period of several years - sort
of like dollar-cost averaging
for investing.
In addition, Ruch should
vigorously pursue equitable
funding from the State Board
of Education. Boise State must
be appropriately funded for
growth.
Despite these suggestions,
they may not make up for a
budget cut of 10 lercent.
However, they woul reduce
the inevitable fee increase, and
make it more palatable for students.
A fee increase is inevitable.
But Ruch can show good faith
by first asking administrators
to sacrifice before further burdening students.

Not just fun in the sun for Boise Stote
By Steye Gowans
The Arbiter
With the loss last week to Louisiana Tech,
Boise State now has nothing to lose and a lot of
ground to make up as they head to sunny
Honolulu, Hawaii for a crucial WAC conference match-up.
The task at hand for the Broncos will be to
slow down a Hawaii team that is beginning to
run over opponent after opponent, while keeping their fingers crossed that UTEP will tum EI
Paso into upset city and upend the Bulldogs of
La. Tech., and pray Tulsa can find a way to surprise a good Rice team.
With bowl hopes still very much alive for the
Broncos (5-4, 4-2), the extra help of those two
upsets definitely won't hurt their chances of an
invitation to the H-Bowl.·
.
Head coach Dan Hawkins, however, 'is taking it one week at a time and promises his Boise
State teani. will be ready to play.
"Hawaii poses a threat to us because right
now they are on fire as a result of winning five
in a row. I believe their defense is better than
what we saw in Louisiana, and they also have a
very talented offense. We have some things to
overcome but our guys are up to it:'
Hawaii (6-2, 5-2), will most likely be led by
back-up quarterback Nick Rolovich, who has
done a terrific job in filling in for Timmy Chang.
It is highly unlikely Hawaii will put Chang
back in the lineup to avoid tinkering with an'
offense that is clicking in every- aspect with
Rolovich at the helm.
The Rainbow Warriors come fresh off a 34-10
romp over San Jose State in which they came up

rushed for 85 yards, their passing game was
efficient enough to carry them as Rolovich completed 18 of 35 passes for 3.D7 yards and 2 touchdowns. Hawaii also looks to extend their winning streak to 6 in their homecorrung game
against the Broncos.
BSU would love nothing better to play the

On more of a personal note, HeIer is majoring in psychology but hopes to extend her volleyball career after college by playing in a professional indoor or outdoor league, and is willing to take her talents overseas and join a team
so she can keep playing the game she loves.
Her favorite movies are "Rudy" and "Point
Break" and loves listening to the Dave
Matthews Band. Her fondest volleyball memory, although she has many, happened when
she was 18 arid was playing on a club team in
California competing in the Junior Olympics,
when her team beat the #1 seed in the first
game. !t'salso the coaches of that team, Steve
Santonastaso and Jason Mansfield, who she
recognizes as being the biggest influences in
her life.
"Aside from my family, they know me better then anyone else. They were always there
to push me and always believed in my ability," Heier said.
HeIer and company hope to turn things
around amidst a frustrating year as they finish

But the "Redux" includes
everything from the first version, puts, a new spin on it,
and despite the unnecessary,
distracting portions of the
two extended scenes, separates itself with its own internal logic and sequences that
are simultaneously realistic
and dreamlike.
If I could sum up the difference between the two versions in one sentence, I
would say: The original is
alarming, the "Redux" is psychotic.
In any case, every fan of

On a side note, the
documentary

should also be seen, and in
my opinion, is better than the

It opens with a funny dialogue -between Jackson and
actor Chris Tucker.
On "You Rock My World,"
Jackson decided to visit his
younger days and give this
song the great voice and
vibrating vocal harmonies
that everybody knows him
for.
This track is also one of the
best on the album. Other
overall good songs are the
hard-driven "Heartbreaker,"

"Speechless." Instead of following the paths of "You

The Record (Bergen COllnty, N.J.)
,
, LITTLE FALLS, N.J. - After a
night of studying in her dorm, [en
,Foglia is looking forward to grabbing
a burger and fries without sacrificing
her parking spot on the crowded
Montclair State University canlpus.
"It's 3 in the morning, you got the
munchies ...
it's right here," said
Foglia, a freshman.
Other students standing nearby
shared Foglia's opinion as the Red
Hawk Diner, a 24-hour eatery in the
heart of the campus, finally opened
last week.
University
officials had pushed
back the opening of the diner, constructed on the campus over the summer, because of the events of Sept. 11.
But any students wondering when
the doors of the Red Hawk would
finally swing open had their answer
Tuesday as "Rock Around the Clock"
blasted from stereo speakers and Red
Hawk himself, looking more like a
chicken, danced to the beat.
The Red Hawk, named after the
university's
mascot, is the first oncampus diner in New Jersey and is
believed by university officials to be
the only one in the nation, University
officials say that would be appropriate.
"Isn't New Jersey considered to be
the diner capital of the world?" said
Nancy Carver, director of the university's food service.
The Red Hawk has typical 1950sera features, from the reflective stainless .steel exterior decorated with
neon lights, to the booths, counter
stools, and mosaic-tiled floor.
Some students remarked that the
new diner looked a lot like the Park
West Diner on Route 46. Both were
built by Kullman Industries Inc., a
Lebanon-based
company that also
furnished the Tick-Tock on Route 3.
But the Red Hawk Diner has
something
modern
to offer Internet ports under the tables. The
phone jacks allow customers who
possess a laptop computer to plug in
and check their e-mail.
Some students
said Internet
access would be useful but not
enough to visit the Red Hawk on a
daily basis.
"I think eight bucks is a lot for
chicken fingers," said Julie Betz, a
freshman.
Other students shared their disappointment about the high prices but
said the location can't be beat.
"We usually go to Six Brothers,"
said freshman Liza Patterson, referring to a nearby diner. "But we have
to go to the parking lot to get our
cars; here we could walk."
