Opponents of Amendment 3, which would double up on existing state laws that already outlaw same-se- x union, are d and very optiwell-funde- mistic. Though other states have constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, Utah's would go farther than any other except Nebraska and Louisiana in legally defining and restricting it. Both states are now embroiled in legal challenges over the measure. The amendment's language has even some Republicans who oppose gay marriage, including the state's Attorney General, criticizing it for unintentionally infringing on the rights of heterosexual cou- .... trash under the tent and in the surrounding area at the Salt Lake County Police recovered human remains early Friday morning that were later identified as the body of Lori Hacking. Law enforcement personnel sift through the ples. The amendment, which goes before voters Nov. 2, says: "Marriage consists only of the legal union between a man and a woman. No other domestic union, however denominated, may be recognized as a marriage or given the same or substantially equivalent effect." For many people, that second part is the sticking point.

The group will sponsor public forums and guest lectures and workshops. It will consist of about 15 people, including community and religious leaders, legislators, faculty, students and trustees of UVSC. While the controversy over Moore, who created the highly successful yet controversial "Fahrenheit 911," triggered the need for a council, Jack Zenger, chair of the Board of Trustees, said it shows the evolution of the state college. As it grows, he said there needs to be a "vehicle for dialogue" between the residents of the area and the state college. The idea for the council came from college acUninistration, parSeder-burticularly President William but Zenger will be it with Rev. Dean Jackson, the lead pastor at Rock Canyon ' g, "This is a great opportunity to build bridges within our community. We live in a culture that understands the idea of debate; however, people do not have a good grasp of the concept of dialogue," Jackson said in a prepared statement from the college. Zenger said he wants to be able to educate residents in the area so that the perceptions of UVSC can catch up with reality. He said for many decades Brigham Young University was the primary institution of higher education in the area. But since more BYU students now come from outside the community and outside the country, Zenger said it is clear UVSC will be serving the educational needs of a majority of the students from Utah County who want to be educated here. Many people expect UVSC to play the same subdued role as BYU has done, and that it will be a "quiet college that will not make any waves." But in reality, every university becomes a forum where different opinions are ex. pressed, Zenger said. He said UVSC officials think the best way to expand into the role of a university is to create more open dialogue with the important stakeholders in the See LOCAL D1 BUSINESS P6 OPINIONS A6 OBITUARIES P4 HOROSCOPE 85 LIFE&STYLE B1 WEATHER C8 MOVIES A7 partly cloudy O SPORTS ' UVSC, Sunny to INSIDE D3 .

John Kerry hopes the lasting image of the first debate is President Bush's pique performance a flourish of fidgets, glares and grimaces. The Republican incumbent plans to turn the tables with fresh attacks. As both campaigns raced to shape and then cement perceptions about what happened before the eyes of 62.5 million television viewers, some Republicans said they feared Bush had given new life to an embdttled foe.

With a heaping of faint praise for his boss, White House communications director Dan Bartlett said, "This debate comes down to, Do you want a president who says the right thing or do you want a president who does the right thing?" Bush's top adviser, Karl Rove, said the night proved that Kerry "is arguably the better debater of the two." But he also said there was a history of candidates "1 can tell you tears were shed by these people and the landfill people," he said. "There has been a tremendous emotional contribu- tion to this case." The discovery came on the 33rd working day of a search of 4.600 tons of garbage that began with the help of cadaver dogs and finished with authorities using garden rakes to comb through the trash.

"People don't view these things in a vacuum." Rove said. That's why both campaigns are seeking to shape people's second and third impressions of the debate. They rushed commercials into production, dispatched surrogates across the country and fed their candidates with new lines of attack. "The best of these debates all have mo-- . ments," said Kerry spokesman Joe Lock-har"This is one of those moments." It was not clear how much, if at all, the debate had helped Kerry. Instant polls t.
