It cuts $12 million from energy- efficiency grants/loans and $24 million from renewable-energy agricultural pro­ grams. Bush’s cutting of $350 million from cleanup at nuclear-contaminated sites, throughout the U.S., risks both terrorism and public health. Bush says these four, promise-breaking budget cuts are needed to control federal deficits. But they total only $500 million. Bush gave $175 billion, one-third of his tax cuts, to the top one percent of Americans. Why are $ 500-million cuts in nuclear pro­ tection and safer energy necessary to curb deficits but not $175-billion windfalls for rich people? Why build expensive, unnecessary, nuclear terrorist targets? Even wealthy Americans need protection against terrorists.

Lewis vs. Howard First-week losses have dis­ couraged neither the Chicks of Lewis, nor their upcoming oppo­ nent, the Ducks of Howard. Despite each team dropping opening matches, the captains remain positive, looking forward ¥ to rebounding in this weekend’s contest. Coming off a season that saw them fall an extra-point shy of the championship, the Chicks began their 2004 campaign fac­ ing the team that crushed their dreams in last year’s title game. While not quite as close as I 2003’s one-point affair, Sunday’s Badin-Lewis contest was a high­ ly competitive match. The two stout defenses allowed a com­ bined total of one score, which came in the form of a Bullfrog 10-yard touchdown pass early in the second half. Despite the loss, Chick captain Sheila Dawes is not discouraged, citing a few bad breaks — most notably a fourth down pass interference penalty that led to the Badin score — as the cause of defeat.
