Describing the human genome as "the common thread of biology," Futuyma used recent papers published in scientific journals to support his argument for evolution. "This is going to be the foundation upon which all kinds of extraordinary changes will take place that will affect generations to come," he said. "All species are truly related all are descended from the same common ancestor and all share common characteristics," Futuyma said, suggesting that if not for common ancestry, scientists could not expect studies of other organisms to tell them anything about human characteristics. CETIN remembers most about Cetin was 1 followed by a moment of silence in which the standing room only crowd took time to remember Cetin as a student, friend and colleague. Cetin, 33, came to the United States nearly six years ago and after planned on staying he obtained his degree, Yavuz said. "He very much wanted to stay in the United States so he could continue to play with ideas about Turkish government and bureaucracy after he was done with school," he said. Among those at Friday's memorial service was Ibrahim Karawan, director of the Middle East Center. Karawan said the one thing he 1 Salguero is the one getting so much attention. "She was the person who brought the issue to the forefront in the state of Utah," Maaksaid. After graduating from Park City High School in 2000, Salguero attended the U for two weeks before she was forced to leave. Salguero, who moved from Mexico in 1997, lacked the proper documentation and was therefore required by law to pay tuition rates, which are three times the price of instate tuition. Salguero, who helps her mother with half of their house payment, wasn't able to pay rates and because her $5,000 scholarship wasn't enough to cover her tuition, books and fees, she couldn't attend the U directly after graduating. State legislation passed both Utah's House and Senate in March 2002 which would allow children of undocumented immigrants to pay rates for education at state universities or colleges. non-reside- nt non-reside- nt in-sta- te iBfl lSlitilHTiKcijiier his integrity. "The most difficult thing for me is to construct a sentence with the word 'was' when talking about Zafer," Karawan said. "Zafer said what he believed in regardless of the of his preferences had such high professors...he integrity." Yavuz said Cetin's greatest trait was his empathy toward those who were less fortunate than himself. "I recall one day Zafer was having coffee at the Salt Lake Roasting Co. when he noticed a homeless man on the sidewalk," he said. Cetin then traveled back to his home and returned with a blanket, which he gave to the homeless man. "That's just the way Zafer was," Yavuz said. abensonchronicle.utah.edu The bill doesn't legally go into effect until the U.S. Congress passes similar legislation on the national SILVIA continued from page 'I includes Pitt's department of biologi- researcher Douglas Futuyma knows 98 percent of his colleagues are genetic garbage, according to Carnegie Museum of Natural History Entomologist John Rawlins. "Less than 2 percent of all human DNA appears to do any coding, or have any identifiable function," Futuyma said, reporting recent discoveries about the human genome, which is responsible for most of a person's characteristics. Futuyma, the author of the controversial "Science on Trial The Case for Evolution" and the textbook "Evolutionary Biology," and a strong advocate of teaching evolution, addressed an audience of more than 60 people Wednesday night in the Carnegie Museum of Art Auditorium. continued from page !

Such legislation has passed the U.S. House of Representatives, but has yet to pass the Senate. However, Utah's Assistant Attorney General, Bill Evans, issued an opinion stating that going forward with the law before the Senate approves the change was legally sound and valid because it did not compromise federal limitations. According to Maak, no federal aid can be granted to Salguero until the Senate passes the legislation. Nonetheless, with a private scholarship from the Park City Educational Foundation that pays for her entire schooling cost this semester, Salguero now has the opportunity to attend the U and pursue her goal of becoming a nurse. "She's an incredibly brave young woman and needs all the support she can get," Maak said.
