A key question is whether Stephen Bosworth can extract a firm commitment from Pyongyang to rejoin nuclear disarmament talks—whether North Korea is serious, this time, about peace on the peninsula. Bosworth was scheduled to fly from a U.S. military base near Seoul to the North Korean capital Tuesday to see if the North will return to the international disarmament talks that it abandoned earlier this year. Neither side has said which North Korean officials Bosworth will meet in Pyongyang during his three-day trip, though he is widely expected to sit down with Kang Sok Ju, the first vice foreign minister, who is considered the chief foreign policy strategist for reclusive leader Kim Jong IL "The main question is whether Bosworth will meet with Chairman Kim Jong Il," said Kim Yong-Hyun, a professor of North Korean studies at Seoul's Dongguk University. "Such a meeting would demonstrate that both the U.S. and North Korea intend to resolve the nuclear issue." Becker recommends timeline for public safety headquarters Mayor Ralph Becker is talking up his plans to build a new police headquarters in Salt Lake City. The mayor has put out a timeline following November's voter approval for a borrowing measure. Becker is calling a public meeting Monday night for a presentation on his preferred site for a public safety complex, the block on 300 East across the street from Library Square. The mayor said he plans to make a firm decision on the site Dec. 18., and the city is looking to hire a project manager by Jan. 5. The city expects to hire architects by March. Defense attorney: Out-of-state profiling illegal PARK CITY—A defense attorney claims that the Utah Highway Patrol profiles cars with out-of-state license plates on Interstate 80. Attorney Gerry D'Elia has filed a claim in 3rd District Court, saying eastbound vehicles with out-of-state plates are pulled over much more often than local drivers in Summit County. D'Elia calls it "selective enforcement" that is "unconstitutional and illegal." D'Elia said evidence garnered from such stops led to his clients' arrest and should not be allowed in court. The patrol has no plans to change how it monitors traffic on I-8o, a major cross-country artery in the illegal business of transporting drugs. A South Korea protester with a portrait of U.S. President Barack Obama, right, and North Korean leader Kim Jong II shouts a slogan during a rally to denounce the United States'policy against North Korea in front of the Foreign Ministry in Seoul, South Korea, on Monday. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters Monday that Bosworth is seeking a meeting with "appropriate officials," but not with Kim Jong IL The State Department has said that the U.S. envoy has a narrow mission—to find out whether the North would return to the stalled disarmament talks—and would be carrying no inducements meant to lure the North back to the negotiating table. While Chinese and North Korean officials have suggested that Pyongyang might be willing to return, U.S. officials maintained that Bosworth did not know what the North would decide. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told reporters Monday that she hoped Bosworth would be successful in persuading the North Koreans to return to the nuclear talks and that the North would work for "a new set of relationships with us and with our partners." This week's talks—the first direct U.S.-North Korean talks since Obama took office in January—come after a year of threatening rhetoric and rising tensions on the Korean peninsula.

SPORTS EDITOR: Bryan Chouinard b.chouinard@chronicle.utah.edu Poll finds partisan divide on health care A new poll finds that a majority of Utah residents support the ideas of health care reform moving through Congress—until the bills are associated with the Democratic Party. "This really shows how the word `Democratic' is a cue in Utah," said Kelly Patterson, a political science professor at BYU. According to the Deseret News/ KSL TV poll published in a copyright story in Sunday's editions, more than half of the people surveyed either strongly or somewhat supported the major points included in the health care proposals that are under debate. But when asked what they thought about the Democrats' health care bill that has passed the House, two-thirds said they opposed the measure. Dan Jones, whose company Dan Jones & Associates conducted the survey, said the pollsters asked four questions on the major points included in the Democrats' and President Barack Obama's health care proposals. The questions did not mention either political party. When the questions shifted to Democrats' health care bill that has passed the House, the results were dramatically different. Jones said the poll is an indication how much confusion there is over the complex issue. "People want comprehensive health care," Jones said. "They believe it is a fundamental right, but they are not that knowledgeable about the specific plans or the current bills." Patterson said it's also an indicator of where Utah's political loyalties lie—if there was any question. "But put the word Democratic into the issue, and you inject a word many Utahns" don't like, Patterson said. "This is why it was so important to have a bipartisan effort." All three of Utah's U.S. representatives voted against the House bill, including Rep. Jim Matheson, the state's only Democratic member of Congress. The poll of 408 Utah residents was conducted Nov. 19-23 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points. Witness: Suspect in Smart case stalked other girls The estranged wife of Brian David Mitchell said he stalked other girls in Salt Lake City before targeting 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart in 2002, a psychiatrist testified Monday. Dr. Michael Welner said in federal court that Wanda Barzee told him Mitchell followed girls on buses and kept track of them but couldn't get their addresses. Barzee said Mitchell knew Smart's address because he had been hired to work on the roof of the family's home by Smart's mother, Welner said. "This is how she ultimately came to be targeted," Welner said while testifying at a hearing to determine if Mitchell is competent to stand trial on charges of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor BUDGET continued from Page 1 move it from one pocket to another," he said. However, that isn't the case. The distinction is crucial because the expected 9 percent cuts would affect the U's baseline budget, which Young referred to as the university's foundation. "At the end of the day, if they start to cut the budget severely...the edifice crumbles," he said. Chris Nelson, senator from the College of Architecture and Planning, proposed that the U create a stipulation that any future endowments must allow 5 percent of its donation to be spread across the U. Over time, across state lines. Defense attorneys said Mitchell is incompetent and cannot participate in his own defense. The defense began questioning Welner late Monday and was expected to continue Tuesday. The defense also is expected to call its first witness, Dr. Stephen Golding, who found Mitchell incompetent to stand trial in a state case. Welner said Barzee also told him Mitchell tried to get her and Smart to go along with a plan to bring other women into the group by storming a girls camp with machetes. Further details were unclear. Mitchell used religion and his exaggerated sense of his relationship with God to justify his actions in the same way as a priest who commits sex offenses, Welner said. the science-based colleges, which garner the most grants and are faring better than other colleges such as Humanities and Social and Behavioral Science, would share some of their success with the rest of campus. In other news Beyond the budgetary doom and gloom, senators also heard a presentation on a new publication system for theses that would reduce costs to students by digitizing the process. "That's the goal," said Chuck Wight, senior vice president for academic affairs. "We're going to save some trees and we're going to save students the cost of printing." Changes to the way theses are filed, which will now include master's in addition to doctoral works, He said priests who commit sex offenses often believe their religious position comes with entitlements. "They routinely and dramatically distort their relationship with God," Weiner said of research about priests who molest children. In a tape of a police interview shown in court, Mitchell said Smart "had a glorious experience. She knows who I am. She knows I am a servant of the Lord." Welner said it takes an unusual person to brainwash two individuals. Barzee was significantly brainwashed by Mitchell and Smart was to a limited degree, he said. In October, Smart testified that she was taken at knifepoint, forced to marry Mitchell within hours of her abduction and raped daily throughout her captivity. will create a database that will be searchable using Google and Yahoo. In other business, the registrar's office will begin to require students in the Math, Business and Engineering schools to complete prerequisites before enrolling in upperdivision courses. Students in these colleges will not be able to register for a class unless they have completed the prerequisites. Elsewhere on campus, students might be able to enroll in a course that they lack prerequisites for and it is left to the professor to decide whether to allow them to stay in the class. Professors from the colleges where the rule changes are taking place will still retain the authority to waive these requirements. c.mumford@chronicle.utah.edu ARTS EDITOR: Joseph Peterson j.peterson@chronicle.utah.edu PHOTO EDITOR: Tyler Cobb t.cobb@chronicle.utah.edu ASST.
