The report, compiled by former Cook County Circuit Court Judge Louis Carippo goes beyond the 18,000 comments, letters and emails that were submitted for consideration in the second formal evaluation of the Chief by the university. The report includes information on the history of the Chief, a look at the Illini Tube, a background of the controversy and a list of schools that have retired controversial mascots. "Students who want to get an overview of what we've seen over the last few years will really get that," 270-pag- said UI Spokesman Hill Murphy. The report only includes a small number of the submissions but does break down full results into how favored or many respondents Salt Lake opposed keeping the mascot. The report showed that more than 80 percent of those who responded were in favor of retaining Chief Illiniwtk as the university symbol.

Friedbaum, now 50 pounds lighter from protesting his exclusion from the gubernatorial debates, said it was appropriate that his first and last debate for governor be at the college where he was nominated for teacher of the year. His goal of the day was to educate the room filled with students and faculty about Utah's issues. "I am committed to restoring the principles of the Constitution. Utah needs to become a refuge of righteous laws where other people will come " Friedbaum said. Laughter, cheers and outcries erupted from the audience as the candidates, Republican Gov. Mike Lcavitt, former Democratic Congressman Bill Orton and Friedbaum answered questions submitted by UVSC students and faculty prior to the debate. "One of the things that makes America great is the choices it allows you. I want to give students direct control over educational funds. They can make the best choice for themselves," Friedbaum said. On proposed tuition increases, both Leavitt and Orton agreed there should not be a substantial increase 40-d- ay but did not support Friedbaum in the removal of state control. Orton said more money should come from the state for financial aid and reiterated that education is the most important issue of his cam- a.m. paign.

Tim Huff, coordinator of ISS, called the law "idiotic." "The INS is trying to track the wrong people," he said. "College students don't come in through the back door they come in through the front because they have to before a college will accept them." "It's the workers from Mexico who skip over the border in the" middle of the night that the INS should be tracking, not college students," Huff continued.
