Karl Rove, one of President George Bush’s top political advis- ers, is scheduled to appear in Lolo at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 16, at the Holt Heritage Museum at 6800 Lewis & Clark Trail. Rove is holding a sold-out, $50 per person reception in support of U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns, who is currently campaigning for his fourth term against Democratic candidate Jon Tester. Burns and Tester are currently in a statistical dead heat in the race. Laura Bush and Dick Cheney have also visited Montana this Eleena Fikhman/Montana Kaimin year to stump for Burns.

Both Murray and his friend Andrew Hand, also a freshman, turned to Steele and brushed the question off UM freshman Sam Murray steps over the edge of the Madison Street Footbridge with a deadpanned “yes” before they took the plunge off on Tuesday. the footbridge under the Madison Street Bridge, located just off campus, into the Clark Fork River. The intentions behind building the bridge surely did not include a recreational jumping spot, but it has definitely turned into one. “I have come here with some friends almost every day since school started,” Hand said. “We jumped off the Madison bridge yesterday and people were stopping and staring.” For some, the thrill of jumping off the lower bridge, quenches their need for an adrenaline rush, but others, such as Murray, make their way onto the main bridge for added excitement. After a warm-up jump on the lower bridge, Murray made his way up to the Madison Street Bridge and dangled his legs off the rail while looking down. He let go and a quick yell escaped his mouth before he landed safely in the river. A level of risk that could prove fatal comes with bridge jumping. All three jumpers said they were well aware of the consequences of a jump gone wrong. “I think it’s all up to the individual to assess the risk,” said senior David Schwartz. “And I’m all for it.” Schwartz frequents the area with his dog, Duke, who was on hand to see him jump. Schwartz paced the lower bridge, looking at prospective landing spots and decided on one after a couple of minutes of careful surveying. He climbed up on the rail and launched off the bridge. For a moment, he was completely horizontal with his limbs fully extended. Duke whined as Schwartz hit the surface of the water. Public Safety Officer Jim Hayes commented on the recreational hot spot. “Basically we don’t want them (jumpers) to kill themselves,” Hayes said. “Once they start jumping off the Madison Street Bridge it becomes a city issue, and they don’t like it.” As Schwartz put his shirt back on, he looked down at where he had landed just a minute before. “This is one of the last nice days of the year, so that’s why I’m out here,” he said.

During one of Troll’s lectures he told a room full of art students how to make money off of their work.
