Show Page A2 THE DAILY HERALD, Provo, Utah, Friday, September 17, 1999 Missouri overrides veto on abortion Lack of a date creates critical conditions As part of my job here at The Daily Herald (motto: The Other 'Church News"), I go to a lot of plays and movies. Thia is a great thing to do for a living, of course, and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to see "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" over and over again, as it makes me feel as though I've read the Old Testament. You'd think all these shows would be a great dating oppor"great" being defined tunity but it has its drawas "free" backs. For example, what if I've already been on a date with practically every girl I know and all parties involved have agreed that it would be best if I not ask them out again? What if some of these girls have even made this point via restraining order? I still have to go to the shows I just don't have anyone to take with me. With the movies, it's OK.

"Nothing looked odd to me; no weeds were smashed down." As night approached, she returned home and resumed the search Thursday morning in her mother's car, which was raised higher than her own, giving her a better view. "We drove that road 10 times," she said. "I drove Why? "I don't know," Chris said. "I thought he was dead."

The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph. At 11 p.m. EDT, the storm's center was 25 miles east of Hartford, Conn., and moving quickly northeast at 35 mph. Forecasters said it would continue to weaken today. Even the gentler Floyd was threat enough for New York and New Jersey authorities, who declared states of emergency.

Snider can usually find some male friend who wants to see a free movie. But for some reason, men won't go to plays with other men. Movie theaters, fine. Play theaters, not fine. Even men who enjoy the theater won't go with other men, for fear that somehow, merely by participating in the fine arts, they'll become gay. I can get a guy friend to go with me to a play only if I assure him that going with stopped and walked into the sagebrush. I "Then I saw his hat started running," she said. Chris then spotted her husband sitting up in the ravine. "I ran down the hill in hysterics," she said. After their tearful reunion, she gave him his requested kiss. "Then he asked for 'something to drink," she said. He could see a pond, but was only able to move about 10 feet. No one had heard his cries, even with the ravine between two houses, Chris said. "The police said he would not have made it until tonight (Thursday)," she said. "He's in pain, but doing good." Justin will have surgery today on his right leg, said Dr. Bradley J. Bentley, in the emergency room. "He's in fair condition," Bentley said. "He was dehydrated, so we gave him I.V. fluids. But he's in pretty good shape, despite what happened to him."

Guys ay, "Let's go hang out: I'D bring Susan, you bring Rebecca." From the girls' standpoint, group dates are even worse than double dates. You've got five or six guys who ail know each other really well, and five or six girls who have never met and who, having never met, in keeping with Girl Regulations, automatically don't like each other. This is, for some retscn, the way women are. As soon as they meet, they instantly don't like each other. Guys, on the other hand, always treat all other guys, strangers and friends alike, exactly the same way: with complete and total EUT GUYS are not just jerks to each other.

The cabinet recommended the Continued from A 1 the they'd put the pressure on the NCAA," Michaelis said. Some of that pressure was coming from a potential lawsuit by Dorsey and Whitney, a Salt Lake law firm retained by several BYU soccer players. Dave Detton, an attorney at the firm and father of one of the players, said the firm was looking into gender issues as well as religious discrimination, since only women's competitions had thus far been affected. Detton believes his firm's communications may have expedited the cabinet's decision to stop giving waivers. BYU President Merrill J. Bateman said he thought there was a chance the cabinet would look at the issue Thursday, but didn't necessarily expect a decision this quickly. "I think there were a couple of arguments," Bateman said. "The main one was they were excluding student athletes who earned their right into a championship and then were made ineligible to play.

Bateman said the prospects concerning if a competing school refuses to compete on particular days because of religious considerations. In 1998, however, the NCAA adopted a bylaw that would permit a waiver, "if the governing sports committee for a championship determines the accommodation would unduly disrupt the conduct of the championship," Waivers were issued this summer for the upcoming NCAA women's soccer and basketball tournaments, both of which are scheduled to play the final game on a Sunday. 1 1 . than most It creates a felony crime specifically called "infanticide that subjects anyone who cate es "the death of a living infant by an overt act performed whet the infant is partially borrj or born" to charges equivalent to wouldn't reschedule any Sunday games, but BYU probably would not have been invited at all to any tournament with a waiver, where a Sunday game was a pos- together.

"The cabinet decided in its meeting that it is not going to grant additional waivers," Jankowski said. "They determined that championship opportunities outweigh the logistical problem associated with making accommodations." -- The home address c J of a marijuana bust printed, ,03 Wednesday's Al is 100 N. ?00 East, Provo, across from Fairer Middle School.

Investigators identified two separate origins of the fire within the condo, owned by Edward Perez, in the bedroom and living room, which did not correlate to any explainable source of ignition. The condo door was forced open at the scene, but burglary may not have been involved. There were items within the residence that normally would have been taken if the fire were set to cover a theft, like a purse containing money hanging on the door knob. Police are patrolling the units. A unit next door sustained suspicious fire damage just two days earlier, according to Perez. Police are asking residents to report any suspicious activity.

BURGLARIES the vicinity of 2000 An Orem family in N. 600 East awoke Wednesday morning to find someone had entered their unlocked home through their garage, propped the door open with a laundry basket and stolen a purse on the front room couch. The burglar also went through the cars in the garage and stole a cell phone. There was no cash in the purse, but before the victim could cancel her . credit cards at 6 a.m. that morning, the thief had already made a $50 Discover Card transaction, said Lt. Doug Edwards, public information officer at the Orem Police Department. An identical burglary happened the same night in the area of 1600 N. 1000 West. The burglar took a cell phone from the kitchen counter and tried to remove a stereo from a car in the garage. At least five other burglaries took place in Orem Tuesday night, with car stereos, a radar detector and subwoofer stolen, Edwards said.
