Starting September 19, Clay Aiken returns with the debut of his latest ablum "AThousand Different Ways" and, following his lead, six additional idols plan to release their albums within two months of Aiken's, sparking gossip about who may top the sales charts this fall. Following Aiken's dark wind- swept bangs include season rival Ruben . Studdard, Fantasia and season five's Kellie Pickler, Tayor Hicks, Katharine McPhee and Chris Daughtry. One main concern is that Fantasia and Hicks release albums on the same day, making listeners wonder which season's winner will take win the album race.

Braden takes second at Sundodger

Boise State University senior All-American Forest Braden led the Bronco cross country teams at the Sundodger Invitational Saturday, finishing in second place individually. Braden ran the eight-kilometer race in 23 minutes - 59 seconds, finishing 16seconds behind men's invitational champion Scotty Baughs of Chico State. Fellow senior Ty Axtman, who recorded his first-career individual victory last week at the Hampton Inn and Suites Fall Harrier Classic, posted the only other top-20 fin- Boise State stays focused ish for the Broncos at the event.
