The change, in effect only through year’s end, is aimed at curtailing a practice whereby lawmakers anonymously insert “earmarks,” narrowly tailored spending that often helps a spe- cific company or project in their district, into bills. President Bush said in a state- ment the bill makes sure “law- makers and the public are better informed before Congress votes to spend the taxpayers’ money.” Democrats disparaged the measure, citing the failure of the Republican-led Congress to pass more comprehensive legislation to clean up lawmaker relations with lobbyists. The rules change “will do little more than to get Republicans through the November elec- tions,” said Rep. Louise Slaughter of New York, top Democrat on the House Rules Committee. GOP Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona, a leading critic of spe- cial interest spending, said: “I’m under no illusion that this legis- lation, which deals only with the issue of transparency, will solve the problem of earmarking. But this bill does represent an impor- tant first step.” Citizens Against Government Waste, a taxpayer watchdog group, said there were 9,963 such projects in the spending bills for the 2006 budget year, costing $29 billion. The 245-171 vote on the rule change came a day after Congress sent to President Bush a bill intended to make govern- ment spending more open to public scrutiny. Under that bill, the govern- ment will set up by 2008 a Google-like search engine so people can track hundreds of billions of dollars in grants and contracts that the government awards every year. But there is currently no prospect for progress on more comprehensive lobbying and ethics overhaul. That had been highlighted as an urgent task at the beginning of the year after several lawmakers were tied to illegal or unsavory actions, par- ticularly with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The measure defines an ear- mark as “a provision that allo- cates funds outside of the normal formula-driven or competitive bidding process and targets those funds to a specific entity, state or congressional district.” Appropriators objected to language that would limit tax earmarks to a tax deduction, credit, exclusion or preference to only one beneficiary. Of the 24 Republicans who voted against the rules change, 22 were members of the Appropriations Committee. %VERGREEN

This is the first time the Cougars play Baylor since a 10-3 Alamo Bowl victory in 1994. This is the fifth time WSU has played a game at Qwest Field. Also, the Cougars were part of the first football game in the sta- dium in 2002. The team will start its Pac-10 schedule after the Baylor game. After succeeding last year in the non-conference schedule but collapsing against confer- ence foes, this game could shift momentum for the Cougars. “I’m excited for the game; preseason means a lot,” left tackle Aaron Johnson said. “It is important to get into Pac-10 play at 2-1.” The Bears come into the match-up much like the Cougars. Both teams are 1-1 on the season, and both lost their first games to ranked opponents – WSU to Auburn, Baylor to TCU. Like WSU, Baylor is com- ing off a big home win: 47-10 against Northwestern State. The WSU defense will have a much larger challenge than it faced against the Vandals. The Bears accumulated 350 yards last weekend, led by quarterback Shawn Bell, who went 25-41 for 288 yards and four touchdown passes in the victory. Baylor struggled mightily with its rush- ing game, netting just 20 yards on eight carries. Baylor uses a spread sys- tem for its offensive line that is intended to push defensive ends further away from the quarter- back, but with that much room, quick defensive ends Mkristo Bruce and Lance Broadus could wreak havoc. Soccer | Team needs to finish shots Continued from Page 5 sions to work on these issues. Specifically, the team has been working on its goal scor- ing. Although the Cougars are averaging just a goal a game, they are tied for first in the Pac- 10 for corner kick opportunities, with 34. Midfielder Natalie Elkind said that with more composure and confidence in front of the goal, the team should be able to capi- talize on scoring opportunities. “We are creating a lot more opportunities than we have in past years,” she said. “I feel like we are playing much better com- binations up top – we just need to finish it off.” Elkind said the team could also benefit from winning more balls in the air and improving the attack of the defensive line. “A lot of times, our last pass in the final third doesn’t give our forwards the best chance to do something with it,” she said. “We’re just making silly turn- overs.” Read The Daily Evergreen online at: After this weekend, the Cougars play two more games before they engage in conference play.

Music review By Andy Jones
fter a month of inducing myself with a coffee at 7:30 every morning, I think I have found my new favorite early morning drug. The Audioslave CD, “Revelations,” released on Sept. 5, has come to my rescue. It may not provide the powerful hammering riffs of past albums, but it is the perfect blend of raw power and musical expertise. Prior to the release of “Revelations,” Audioslave advertised its new sound as a blend of Led Zeppelin and ‘70s funk bands Earth Wind and Fire, and Sly Stone. The truth is that with “Revelations,” the band reverts to the more melodic style of Seattle-hero Chris Cornell’s former band Soundgarden, before he collaborated with Rage Against the Machine’s instrumentalists to form the supergroup Audioslave.

By Kyle Moynihan Daily Evergreen staff The WSU volleyball team, after defeating Idaho 3-1 on Wednesday at Bohler Gym, will attempt to sweep the sea- son series from the Vandals on Friday at Memorial Gym in Moscow. The 12-1 Cougars bring a nine-match winning streak into the contest, the team’s longest since a 2002 NCAA Elite Eight appearance.
