Editor: I'd like to respond to Wilson Fatongia's Jan. 22 letter to the editor, "Weapons at U Detrimental to Focus" in which he argues against the logic of permitting guns on campus. Far be it from me to poke fun at a well thought-out or cohesively delivered argument.

As he attempts to build the U women's tennis team into a competitive force in the Mountain West Conference, coach John Tsumas could not be more pleased with the way the Utes finished off their first two regular-season matches. Utah State and Air Force were two of the teams last year's injury-depleted Utes did beat, so both were looking for some revenge this past weekend.

University of Utah film student, Sark Rickles, has a dream: "I want to make the next 'Star Wars,' but without all those Ewoks or fucking Jar Jar. I mean, c'mon George, what were you thinking?" Such are the hopes of today's up-and-coming sci-fi directors, most of whom?despite being deluded into thinking "Babylon 5" was well written, and that the Warshawski brothers have artistic vision?still consider topping Lucas' granddaddy of epics with their own rip-off "saga" the ultimate geek goal.
