January 9, 2002

CLEVELAND?A man was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday for ramming Ohio's largest mosque with his car six days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Common Pleas Judge Kathleen Ann Sutula sentenced Eric Richley, 29, of suburban Middleburg Heights, on burglary, ethnic intimidation and vandalism charges.

Letter to the Editor: Oversights of Visiting Ambassador

By By Bart Gatrell, Graduate Student, Political Science, By Bart Gatrell, Graduate Student, Political Science, and By Bart Gatrell, Graduate Student, Political Science • January 9, 2002

Editor: Regarding The Daily Utah Chronicle's Jan. 8 "Mid-East VIP Talks About Terrorism": If the United States continues to ignore all injustices in the Middle East, as Ambassador Dennis Ross did on Monday, then peace will never be established. First of all, Ambassador Ross appears to have not read the newspapers: Yassir Arafat has denounced terrorist activities and the killing of innocent civilians.

Raiders Will Make Way Through AFC

January 9, 2002

My, how things have turned around in the AFC for two of last year's Playoff rejects. The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots were not predicted to get a first round bye, and I still can't believe it. Who would have thought that a team like the Baltimore Ravens would become worse after signing Pro Bowl quarterback Elvis Grbac? Who would have thought that the Raiders would finish the season with a three-game losing streak and look as if they will never be able to put the wheels back on? Who cares? That will never stop me from picking against Kordell "I will never take my team to the Super Bowl" Stewart and, of course, the New England Patriots led by Tom Brady.

The Chronicle’s View: Olympic Acts Prove Venues’ True Colors

January 9, 2002

It's the quintessential battle between David and Goliath. The only problem is that this time it's hard to know who's winning. Consider the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, a dynamic and sometimes tyrannical organization that wields its influence without blinking an eye.

Spivey’s Return Unknown

January 9, 2002

Senior point guard Travis Spivey didn't travel to Utah's game Monday in California, and his status on the Utah men's basketball team is still in the air. Spivey was suspended for the St. Mary's game for team misconduct. According to a Deseret News report, he walked out on a U practice last week following a disagreement with coach Rick Majerus.

Alt. Spring Break Event Tonight in Union Ballroom

January 9, 2002

Spring Break often connotes college students laying on beaches or four-wheeling in Moab. But for some students at the U, Spring Break means service. Through the Alternative Spring Break program, students?such as junior Jonathan Ching?travel to various locations and provide services ranging from feeding the homeless to volunteering at an AIDS clinic.

Utah Football Job Is One of Best in Nation

January 8, 2002

U head football coach Ron McBride likes his job. He has said so. He has a brand new, state-of-the-art stadium and a football team that downed Pac-10 powerhouse USC, against all odds, in the Las Vegas Bowl on Christmas day. But it is no secret that this is not the premiere place to coach in the country, right? Not according to a survey by ESPN.

Nostradams Is Back in Time for Playoff Betting

January 8, 2002

Ever since the new millennium hit us (whether you adhered to the perceived or actual one, I give not a whit) everyone has developed a fixation with that ancient sage Nostradamus. He did, after all, predict everything, you know. He predicted the rise of Hitler, the assassinations of John and Bobby Kennedy, the ascension of Dubya to the U.

Ugly Offense Aside, U Men Still Get Win

January 8, 2002

Even without two starters?injured center Chris Burgess and suspended point guard Travis Spivey?the Utah men's basketball team (10-3) did just enough in Moraga, Calif., Monday night to squeak by the St. Mary's Gaels (5-8) by the score of 41-35. Spivey, a senior in his second year at the U, received a one game suspension for a violation of team conduct rules.

An NFL Season Gone Wrong

January 8, 2002

Judging from my thought process prior to the 2001-02 NFL season, I would have said the Monday Nighter between the Vikes and the Ravens would have carried different implications. In evaluation of my preseason picks in the Chrony, dated Sept. 5 and 7, I might have seen the Vikes jockeying for home field advantage in the Playoffs at this point in time.
