The train was leaving Nancy, a city in France 200 miles east of Paris, heading to Vienne. Around 2:15 a.m. the fire broke out after which one of the sleeping cars was filled with smoke. The deaths of all twelve people is believed to have been caused by smoke inhalation. Police have stated that the fire was accidental, possibly electrical or related to the heating system. West Nile Test for Blood Banks The West Nile virus, which is generally spread by mosquitoes, has possibly been spread through blood transfusions. At the present time there is no test that can be used to detect the virus in blood stored in blood banks. Several companies are working to develop a test for the West Nile virus that blood banks can use. U.S. health officials have worked with manufacturers to develop the test, which they hope to have available by next summer. Drought May Be Ending The state of Utah has been in a drought for the past four years, but experts see signs that the drought may be ending. The new water year began Oct. 1 after which Utah's precipitation has been regular. Long-range weather forecasts have predicted that Utah will receive more precipitation this winter than normal. Even if the state rises above the drought the effects of the drought will linger for as long as a decade. Graduate Student Killed by Trax Train Ernie M. Soto, a graduate student in social work, was killed last Sunday after he stepped in front of a light-rail train. Soto's death was not believed to be suicide. Soto's sister, Josephine Anaya, told authorities that Soto had limited vision, and believed that may have been the cause. Soto was working on his masters and doctorate degree at the University of Utah, where he was focusing on helping minority at-risk youth. cuirrs sews o the iveb .d o the ti.i:e Don't forget, you can see NetXNews broadcast daily on the campus montiors every hour on the hour.

Polynesian dance groups from each school were asked to perform dances from different countries. Luau creates warm atmostphere Y Bv Emma Vorlon HEfWeST.IFF Friday night was cold and wet but the inside of UVSC's gym was filled with warmth and island style festivities. The Oceania club hosted an intercollegiate luau that featured dances from various island nations performed by students from other Utah colleges. The Oceania club, according to one of its representatives at the luau, is intended to spread and share Polynesian culture on campus. "We don't exclude anyone," said the club member. Before the music and dance performance people attending the luau were served Polynesian food and had the chance to socialize with one another. People were present from various ethnicities and backgrounds, some choose to wear flower print shirts skirts and shells or flowery leis around their necks, while others wore jeans and T-shirts. Other Utah schools invited to participate in the event were BYU, Utah State, Weber and Snow College, Salt Lake Community College and the University of Utah. Polynesian dance groups from each school were asked to perform dances from different countries. UVSC performed a dance from New Zealand, the women of the group did a Poi Ball Dance and the men did a Haka. The importance of the luau to some was the bringing together of cultures in Utah Valley, one attendee who identified herself as Auntie Dofi said, "This is a good thing for education here, promoting the cultural aspect of it. America has a lot to offer Polyne- "Luau" continued on pg. 3 Utah voters shoot down D initiative NetNews a soldier remembered ne Assoiiali'd Press-Utah voters buried Initiative 1, the Radioactive Waste Restrictions Act, in a landslide. But despite its 2-1 margin of defeat, this is an unfinished story of public consciousness raised and reforms left undone. The defeat of Initiative 1 must not end the public debate over taxation and regulation of low-level nuclear waste disposal in Utah. In a sense, that debate has only begun. The initiative yanked it out of the back rooms of the State Capitol and thrust it into the light of day. It also served notice that the Legislature has much unfinished work to do. The opponents defeated Initiative 1 by arguing that it was drafted in secret, was too complicated, and its provisions were not subjected to the public scrutiny of the legislative process. All of that is true, though none of it goes to the substance of the issues raised by the initiative. To resolve those substantive matters, let the debate in the Legislature begin. Specifically, the Legislature should close the revolving door that has allowed state environmental and radiation regulators to leave public service and immediately take management or lobbying jobs with Envirocare of Utah, the state's sole commercial low-level radioactive waste facility. These and other state officials also should be prohibited from accepting gifts or loans from the industry, and industry officials should be banned from serving on the Radiation Control Board. The Legislature also shouldre-examine the market for the low-level waste Envirocare accepts in light of the state's current low tax rates. The most basic financial questions about Envirocare remain unanswered. While no corporation should be singled out as a cash cow, Envirocare's unique business also imposes unique risks for which the public should be compensated.The Legislature also should create a much more robust fund for perpetual care and closure of the site than exists today.

The 58,229 names of those killed or missing in the war from 1959 to 1975 all . inscribed in black granite are being read aloud over four days to help mark the memorial's 20th anniversary. Michael Milan's uncle, Army Pvt. George W. Milan of Atlantic City, N.J., is among all those names. His should be read sometime this weekend. Pvt. Milan was 22 when he was killed. His death came before his nephew was born. The wall bearing his name went up when the younger Milan was only 9. Still, Michael feels a connection to his uncle and the service he gave his country. "He's the reason I went into the Army," said Michael, a specialist from Evansville, Ind., as he used charcoal to rub his uncle's name onto paper in the blustery hours Thursday before the name-reading began. "This memorial makes it permanent, what they went through," Milan said. "As long as this wall is here, people know what these soldiers fought for. They will know what they died for."
