"The narrow margin shows the importance of getting our issues out to the public," Moss said. Moss said he targeted large groups of students such as the greek system, the Latter-da- y Saint Student Association, the U's choirs and the residence halls. He also had the Ascend 2000 Assembly and Senate candidates talk to the groups in their colleges. The Building Party got out it message by holding meetings in the A. Ray Olpin University Union. Moss and Warner believe the Building Party can still he beat, even though it took the primary by such a commanding number. "We are the middle party, and we share a lot of the views held by the and Student Worker Parties," Moss said. "We will attract a lot of their voters." The Student Worker Party came in last with 415 votes. Dalton agreed that his party could be beat, but says it is unlikely. "We are only as beatable as we allow ourselves to be," he said. "This is no time for complacency." Dalton said he and Docker would ELIZABETH WHITE Chronicle Npws Writer University of Utah English student Language Institute Karem Mussi had a passion for learning and put thought into the questions she asked her teachers.

Poulton said the House is fractured over the issue, with rural Republicans wanting the entire settlement placed in a trust fund. "Lobbying efforts will intensify at the House," Wirthlin said. "We need to shore up support." The Senate's unanimous vote will send a message to the House and will improve the bill's chances, according to Wirthlin. The money will help battle smoking-relate- d diseases. The health sciences will target cancer, heart disease, emphysema and stroke and addiction, ail of which cause 70 percent of Utah's deaths. If the U receives any money from the settlement, 50 percent will go to cancer treatment at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and 50 percent to the other four diseases. Originally the U wanted $io million per year, but with multiple lawsuits threatening the settlement, Wirthlin is happy with the prospect of $4 million. Philanthropist Jon M.

"He is a man who understands the difficult needs and problems of the state," Poulton said. "I know this is not what he expected or wanted, but he will be sympathetic to us." Huntsman was traveling and could not be reached for comment. Poulton's bill did not receive universal support Thursday. Utah Attorney General Jan Graham held a press conference to show her displeasure at changes in Poulton's bill. She is upset that the amount of the settlement used on programs dropped from $10 million, in Poulton's original bill, to $4 million. Poulton said that $4 million is acceptable this year, and the amount can go up during future legislative sessions. His bill requires that drug courts, CHIP, tobacco prevention and the health sciences get part of the settlement each year, but the Legislature can increase the amount if mere money is available. Graham also argued that Poulton has not given the public enough time to weigh in on the issue, since the legislative session ends Wednesday. Poulton's bill was introduced during the first meeting of the Senate's Health and Human Services Committee, and ever since then, the Senate tobacco-preventio- total of 2676 students voted in this ele- ctionseven less than the first year ASUU , :s P A n Dr, Larry Grsen part 0? wi!! be one of the recipients of the U's share of tobacco money. has held the bill.

Dalton wants to focus on "building campus community, easing the financial burden on students and protecting and enhancing the open space on campus." For Moss, the main student issues are parking, an online textbook exchange and online teacher evaluations. Decker and Dalton believe their success hinged on their work ethic. "We have two slogans. The first is 'dead candidates don't win,' but we worked ourselves close " Dalton said, "The second is 'wet candidates win.' We were out in the snow all day." Dalton added that this work ethic allowed his party to show students that his ideas are "substantive, real and 25, 2000 481-880- 0 and we'll get you Click on our website at ucreditu.com to use U Met tfy CREDIT UNION 481-880- 0 www.ucreditu.com Eligibility and membership required.
