BY MARIANA BEKKER Spactal to The Arbiter

Though this may sound like a flashback to the fif- ties, these real-life real estates are beginning to pop up every- where, even in Idaho. Builders and planners claim r these well thought-out com- munities improve the quality of life of their residents, help re- duce crime, and promote po- litical participation among the residents. They also say that this type of neighborhood helps to enhance social capital meaning- that neighbors will more likely be close friends rather than just acquaintances . .. \, BSU political science profes- nunu llY nlC!iIl[ 5\','W[]Wil11E AfllHT[I\ --\.,''!l sor Patricia Fredericksen recent- The Veltex burldrnq In downtown BY SONR ly started a research project on BOise" K.

Numbers meant nothing Wednesday night in Provo. The Broncos (4-3) lost to BYU 90-77 in front of 8,619 loud fans at the Marriott Center.

Two things were certain for Broncos during the final two games on their three-game road trip. They have the ability to battle back, and Jason Ellis has turned into a major scoring threat for the Broncos. But, it was the Cougars who looked like the team with a win- ning record.
