SLCPD initially believed that a confrontation had occurred between O'Keefe and Pherson at a Salt party, prompting the player to briefly leave before returning to the scene armed with a bat. However, prosecutors have said that O'Keefe was not provoked. U student Mike Wright, who was at the party and is an employee of The Daily Utah Chronicle, said he did not see either the players or Pherson earlier in the evening. He said both groups arrived shortly before the fight started. a Lake-are- continued from pa$e Wright said. "It was completely unrelated." O'Keefe and the group left the scene shortly after the incident, and the police and an ambulance were called, Hill said. Neither O'Keefe nor Dodds, who is officially ineligible, had played for the Utes yet. And O'Keefe never will, said McBride. February. ble. Jon M. Huntsman Jr. said the PET scanner is "the most advanced imaging system in the world." "He's off the team, regardless of what happens from here. There's nothing that's going to change that," McBride said. "Now all I can do is let the legal process do it's thing." McBride said his players are taught to avoid fighting and are counseled at the beginning of each year. "Ninety percent of the time our kids are excellent," he said in an earlier interview.

Principally, PET scanning has been used for lymphoma and breast and lung cancer, Prescott said. "The best medical technology for early detection isn't always available because of understanding, location, convenience or cost," said Huntsman Jr. Because the Huntsman Institute's scanner is "on wheels," it will bene- fit people throughout the West, particularly those in rural areas, said Huntsman Jr. IHC President William Nelson said, "We're excited to take the research and findings of this Huntsman Institute to the people of Utah."

The quality fund allows Pershing to help departments not receiving enrollment increases. Leavitt's proposal is still in the early stages, and U administrators Bulloch required a PET scan to determine his chemotherapy's effectiveness against the tumor in his lung. The closest scanner was at the University of California at Los Angeles. "Many patients are not healthy enough to make the journey," he said. The scan revealed Bulloch's cancer to be in remission, but he still requires radiation therapy. Prescott said that while PET technology has been in development for 20 years, only in the last five has it become an applicable technology and it was commercialized only 18 months ago. Patients who undergo a PET scan require a complex chemical solution in the bloodstream, Prescott said. By the year's end, the institute will have a $2 million dollar cyclotron capable of preparing this solution. Until then, chemicals will be shipped directly to the Huntsman Institute from out of state, Prescott said. "I never thought I would live to see the day when one machine could say without financial support it is impossible to increase the number of students in such a small period of time. Machen asked the Utah State Board of Regents for $950,000 to hire new engineering faculty, and plans are already drawn for a new engineering building to be located just north of the Joseph Merrill Engineering Building. . S3 The Delta Gamma sorority and Sigma Chi fraternity came out on top during Songfest Tuesday night, SOMGFEST continued from page 1 after we won," junior Lennie Nichols said. Many Delta Gammas felt they got "gypped" last year, so they worked extra hard this year to win, she said. The night was hosted by Rod Decker, a broadcast journalist for Channel 2 News. Decker introduced each group with jokes about drinking, partying and blondes. "Delta Gamma is a house of beautiful blondes. It's said that there are a number of natural blondes in Delta Gamma, and I happen to know her personally," he said. Most of the skits focused on making fun of the other fraternity and sorority chapters, as well as cele- brating the U. Delta Gamma's girls took a more formal approach with white shirts and red bandannas, singing about their pride in the U, and ended with a remake of "That Thing You Do," but with the words, "Everybody's doing the best of 'U.m Fraternity Sigma Chi also started off formally in suits and ties singing to the tune of "In the Jungle." Then they had hula dancers perform to the from "The tune of Sound of Music," and they ended with a barbershop quartet. Romney said he was pleased with the efforts of all of the groups. "Overall, the acts - were great Everybody was trying to do a better job than in the past," he said. Nichols agreed that the fraternity chapters had prepared more this year for their skits. Although Beta Theta Pi was on the receiving end of many of the other groups' "jokes, they took it in stride. "It was very entertaining," junior Chris Kennedy said. "The competition was good, clean fun." Other chapter members said they were pleased with the how the par "Do-Re-M- i" " ticipants represented the U. "I thought Songfest was really fun. Everyone did a really good job and I'm sure it was a hard decision for the judges to make," said junior Lindsay Duffin, a member of Chi Omega.
