This adds to the In e amount of the carbon dioxide in the 3tmosphere and aggravates the greenhouse effect. However, this free flow of goods will benefit all consumers, said Stephen Reynolds, a U professor of economics. The price of items such as cars and motorcycles will go down for citizens of the United States. And people in Latin America will have more access to everything from bicycles to refrigerators, he said. In addition, Latin American countries will have the opportunity to expand their production of manufactured goods and increase the number of jobs available. Professor Theresa Sociology Martinez disagreed. A visit to Mexi-Calthe area just south of the U.S. border in Mexico, i, "What kiiid of einj'ioyij.riH is that?

' free trade also harms the inner cities of the United States, she said. 1 Mexi-Cali- ," Companies relocate their factories to countries where the labor is cheaper, leaving denizens of the inner city unemployed. However, Reynolds said, this poverty was not simply the result of free trade, but of a combination of factors, including population growth. "Ask how much worse off they would be without NAFTA," he said. some environmental degradation occurs, freer trade is beneficial because "it can be used Although to accelerate the economy," he said. But Davidson believes the environment should be at the forefront of all decisions made. "We already have agreements in place that arc disturbingly negative for the environment; from the viewpoint of the environment, the condition we are in right now is very sad," she said. was only glad out. DIVERSITY continued from page 1 University Union tell us we had 2,ooo people tivre," Dace said. Besides nrgar.izir- MI.K Week, the diversity office has made progress in the academic arena as - well; in 1003 it supported students who were pushing for the U's diversity requirement. "I'm proud to say we are a university with a diversity requirement.... The students took that on," Dace said. Dace feels the diversity requirement has done a lot to help students acquire a more well rounded knowledge of other cultures. "I think we're doing a lot of good work here," Dace said. She also cited the recent addition minors at the U, of ethnic-studie- s and believes an ethnic-studie- s major will be added within the next five years. "We now have the faculty to do that," Dace said. Dace said she hopes student support given to the Women's Week and Days of Remembrance Week is are also improvements to diversity. "I don't know if there is one unit on this campus that isn't working on diversity," Dace said. Close to 500 people attended Women's Week keynote speaker Angela Davis' address; the address -- held in a room which should hold 300. Dace joked she was the fire marshal didn't find Davis was also surprised. when President Bernard J. Machen introduced her.

Dace said many people of color do not want to come to Utah because of the stigma of homogeneity attached to the state. "I will confess and tell you I was one of those people," said Dace, who is African American. "I was concerned I would come here and not be able to get my hair done." The diversity office, however, does as much as it can in the Accordir-.- recruitment of diverse faculty for the U. "We talk to them and answer their questions," Dace said. She remembers that in her recruitment, the diversity office drove her around the valley showing her places she could get her hair done, live and go to church. Dace says she tries very much to do the same things for others who could come to the U. "It's important to people to know they will have a life here; I think that is more than half the battle," MATT CANHAM Dace said. If the U does secure the site, Machen said that in addition classes (mostly for busito offering continuing-educatio- n ness executives), it would also include a ticket kiosk for U events, an application station for potential students and employees, and rotating exhibits from the art museum and library collections. This is the same plan Machen had for the Brooks Arcade site, but Anderson nixed that deal. The U and Big-- Construction planned to share the building on the corner of 300 South and State Street, but Anderson vetoed the plan since outside organizations and companies were not allowed to bid on the property. Now Anderson is the U's biggest supporter. But before the U could move in, the planetarium needs to vacate the space, and the city council must support Anderson's proposal. SLCC and the U could coexist peacefully downtown, since the U would focus on professional degrees while SLCC would offer primarily general education courses and associate degrees, said Michael Benson, U special assistant to the president. 1 the Board of Regents meeting at the College of Eastern Utah. During the board meeting, SLCC requested permission to lease the top five floors of the OneMain Plaza building at 115 South Main Street. The Regents have yet to give SLCC the right to lease the property. The board plans to vote either via email or phone - D during the next week after reviewing information about the lease agreement. SLCC President Lynn Cundiff said he asked Machen if he would want to split the space, but Machen refused. With the planetarium moving to the Gateway Project, its historic building, located at 15 South State Street, will return to the control of the Salt Lake City government Mayor Ross Anderson has discussed the possibility of leasing the building to the U, but Machen said that would take a few years to develop. continued from page look at a person's university when considering his or her application, Wirth- 1 said.

"I don't know if there's discrimination going on against LDS students or not, but some of the people that I've been talking to said they believe there is," Saunders said. Accusations of prejudice against LDS candidates are "absolutely said. Wirthlin untrue," Some have complained to Saunders that they were not accepted because they were not U students. Saunders feels the School of Medicine should weigh all universities and colleges in Utah equally. The 2000 entering class consisted of 101 students, 29 of whom came from the U, 14 from Brigham Young University, 12 from Utah State University, four from Southern Utah University, three from Weber State University and one from Westminster College. Remaining h students came from univer- tence of discriminatory practices, the U would be obligated to correct those practices with disciplinary action, Saunders said. Those involved would have to "cease and desist those practices" and they would "be in jeopardy of having legal action brought against them."

Police called Chronicle Editor in Chief Shane McCammon at 12:30 a.m. and asked him to identify some of the computer and photography equipment found in the suspect's house. "I was able to identify an iMac, a laptop, and a camera and camera bag," McCammon said. "While I was there, the suspect was placed under arrest for the burglary of The Chronicle." The identified computer equipment only accounted for a small portion of the approximately $25,000 in equipment stolen from The Chronicle offices. Thieves took three G4 Macintosh computers, two iMacs, a laptop, a digital camera and multiple photo lenses and camera bodies. The UUPD is continuing its investigation.
