Col. Claude McKinney said. Proponents are planning to build housing for the Olympic athletes on die Army's portion of the fort. The housing would be used by University of Utah students after the games. To obtain the land needed to build, the village, the Department of the Army needs to declare Fort Douglas as surplus property. U. and Olympic officials plan to gain the support of Utah's congressional del-- . egation and Vice President Al Gore to approach the Secretary, of the Army with their claims. U. officials, the Army' Reserve and the Salt Lake Olympic Organizing Committee met in Utah on Oct. 13. No final decisions were made in the meeting, except they would continue to meet. Several proposals have been made. One proposed solution might include relocating Army Reserve operations to Defense segments of the soon-to-close Depot Ogden or to Dugway Proving Grounds in Tooele.

D MIC AH HALVERSON L Ht-- F J About Breast Cancer. There arc many different ways to treat breast cancer. The methods include local or systemic treatment Local means the treatment removes, destroys or controls the cancer cells in one area. Treatment such as surgery and radiation therapy fall into this category. Systemic destroys or controls cancerous cells in the entire body. Treatment includes chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Surgery is the most common treatment for breast cancer, according to the pamphlet Different types of surgery include mastectomy, which is a removal of the breast; lumpectomy, a removal of just the breast lump and some normal tissue around it; and breast-sparinsurgery which removes the cancer, not the breast, and is usually followed by radiation. Women under 35 should be most concerned with prevention. As of yet, scientists and doctors do not know what causes cancer.

Smith said the present dormitories, built decades ago, would need to be replaced with more modern facilities for both the Olympic athletes and U. students would use the apartments after the 2002 Games. "Building the Olympic village on the Fort Douglas site would be the ideal situation. The alternative is to build high-ris- e complex buildings where the dormitories are," Smith said. existing Breast Exams Reduce Risk of Cancer REBECCA BENCH (SEQ!J&3 :3c:::2c::::x::::3e::::; Olympic-size- d "win-win-wi- Students of foreign teaching assistants may now be able to understand their instructors more easily. Ann Hart, dean of the Graduate School, in conjunction with the linguistics department, has taken definitive action toward making foreign TAs more comprehensive to students. Beginning three years ago, Hart began a program to assess the oral communication skills of incoming TAs, consisting of three different levels. "We're trying to attack this on three fronts," she said. Before the teaching assistant arrives at the university, he or she must take one of three tests the Test of Spoken English, or SPEAK test, and the Test of English as . a Foreign Language exam. All incoming foreign students, even those who do not plan to teach, must take the TOEFL. The TSE and SPEAK tests both meae sure the degree of a speaker's oral communication skills. Because the Educational Testing Service administers both tests, minimum scores for passing are set The ft, however, as part of the dean's program, sets their own standards for C2ZJV Breast oa Steps L Stand in front of mirror and look for anything unusual.

"Fort Douglas is not surplus. We don't want to move and the Department of the Army has no intentions to move us," McKinney said. "It will cost the Army $100 million to relocate us to a different location in Utah," he said. According to McKinney, Utah would lose $17 million annually if the Army moved its regional headquarters from the state. "If the expenses to move are paid by an outside source, the Army would move," he said. "I'm hopeful that objective third parties will recognize the needs for the Army, the Olympics and the U."

EVA MICHELLE HUNTER Chronicle Staff Writer Throughout high school, one idea is repeatedly pounded into the minds of college bound students: Your grades and test scores are the things which arc going to get you into college. And yet, in an increasing number of schools, a trend is forming: Admissions procedures which may exclude these numerical factors altogether. in Lewis and Clark College offers an Portland, Ore., for example, alternative admissions procedure which completely excludes ACT and SAT scores from the admissions process, and relics only on the elements which the applicant presents. Such portfolios may include personal essays, recommendations, and examples of special talents. Videos of theatre work, pictures of visual artwork, and other demonstrations of academic or artistic prowess arc wcl- - statistic-oriente- procedures. The students for whom the special admissions policy succeeds generally fall into two main categories. First, students who are disabled, or otherwise unable to accurately represent their abilities through standardized tests. see "ACT on page Non-Prof- it S Org.
