TIM E S M AY, U BASEBALL COACH DISCUSSING HiS TEAM'S SWEEP AT THE HANDS OF BYU 27 MARCH ZZZZ1 Music Web Site to Change Its Ways; Universities May Open Their Doors company that writes software for downloading music from the Internet says the program has been changed to please the dozens of universities that had banned it because students were clogging up the schools' computer networks. The problem arose late last year when some universities saw the connections between their own systems and the Internet bogged down by heavy traffic. Officials discovered that the traffic jams were caused by students who were downloading free music by using an application from Napster, Inc. So far, only Indiana University, which worked with the San. Mateo, Calif.-base- d company on the changes, has confirmed it will try out the updated version. "We'll be watching," Alan a spokesman for Northwestern University, said Thursday. A Cub-bag- e, "It's nice to not be the guinea Pig" "Fin a poor college student, and I can get on Napster and download any music I want for free," said Indiana freshman Ryan Bruner, who was a daily Napster user before the school blocked the appUcrt'.on last month. Eddie Kessler, Napster's vice president for engineering, said the changes will, mean search requests will first be handled locally on the special, highspeed network shared only by universities and other research-base- d institutions. Only if a request can't be satisfied will it cross over the school's pipeline to the Internet, he said. A later version of the application will direct searches to a university's own network before sending them to the schools' shared one, Kessler said. ASSOCIATED FRESS DaiiyUTAH.

The scholarship is meant to honor Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student who was beaten to death in November 1998. The scholarship was originally intended for gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered students. However, at the advice of WSU legal counsel, it now includes any student who serves the homosexual community. Opponents have gone so far as to call the scholarship illegal. Gayle Ruzicka, president of the Utah Eagle Forum, a conservative lobbyist group, has referred to the scholarship as "absolutely inappropriate" and "illegal" because it promotes sodomy. Counsel Legal Thompson, Richard Hill, and Barry Gorriberg. WSU's director of Equal Employ- ment OpportunityAffirmative have determined the scholarship is "perfectly legal" because the scholarship is funded by private donations, Thompson Action, saiu. Other privately funded scholarnontradi-tionships include some for students, single mothers, children of railroad workers and students who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, Thompson said. According to Arthur Adelmann, chairman of the scholarship committee and WSU visual arts professor, the Shepard scholarship is about enlightenment and inclusion of gay students within the al WSU community, those believes Adelmann the scholarship are opposing misdirection. of doing so out "Their thinking doesn't go far enough, or their hearts don't go far enough, to honor gays," he said. "And that's the unfortunate thing." As for the technical issues, committee members said opponents are unclear about the type of people donating to the scholarship fund. "A number of the donors are alumni of Weber State who have chosen to leave the state," said Richard Ee?tch, assistant professor of philosophy.
