It's a raw one. SNOOP: I DON'T NEED DR.

The 6-foot-8 Green ranks among the top six among rookies in scoring (nine points, sixth), rebounds (4.9, sixth), assists (1.3, fourth), free throw percentage (69.7, fourth) and minutes played (25.6, fifth).

New chief of state group says architects add value
The chapter sponsored the first "Canstruction Competition," which asked area architectural and engineering firms to design and build structures using canned food items. The structures were built in the lobby of the Clay Center. The cans of food used in the structures were donated afterward to the Covenant House's food pantry. A second annual "Canstruction Competition" was held in January. During the last year, the architects' organization also has participated in planning events with the Charleston Area Alliance's community development unit headed by Susie Salisbury; helped Fairmont design a more inviting gateway to that city; and worked with Huntington to draw more Marshall University students into the downtown. "As an organization, we try to tell the community, 'We can add value to your building,' " Worlledge said.

The Pasadena man knew he needed to surrender to authorities for something he said he did as a 16-year-old in 1994. That's when, police said he told them, he fatally stabbed a 64-year-old convenience store clerk for cash and cigarettes. Earlier this month, Inman told authorities he and a then 13-year-old friend planned to rob Mumtaz Grocery store the afternoon of Aug. 14, 1994.

The president said the big powers, being thousands of kilometers away, should avoid interfering in the internal affairs of regional countries and let them run their affairs themselves. He said the region would be more secure and more peaceful without presence of foreigners and "We think a great service the big powers can offer to the region is their respect for the nations' votes and views." He went on to say that regional nations have gained nothing from foreigners' presence but ruins, misery, humiliation and insult. He added, "The big powers themselves, which have come there from thousands of kilometers away, have gained nothing too." He noted that the only thing the big powers have got in the egion is regional people's more hatred of them.

Going down under didn't keep the No. 5 Cal women's swimming team down in the rankings. Shortly after ringing in the new year, the Bears left for Melbourne, Australia, on a two-week tour-a vacation as well as a time for competition. In the Victorian State Championships, Cal competed against 73 other clubs in a 50-meter pool in the Melbourne Aquatic Centre, and the team was excited about the change of scenery. "It was really nice. The facilities in America are nice too, but swimming is like football over there," junior Lauren Rogers said. "The pool that we swam in was amazing and it was great to be in the environment where swimming is more of a spectator sport." But now the team is back at Spieker Aquatics, where Cal will host No. 4 Arizona and No. 17 Arizona State this weekend in the last two home meets of the season, and the final home meets for the three graduating seniors-Emily Silver, Rachel Ridgeway and Kelly Stravers.
State to get rare stone artifacts
People who found them did not know until recent years what they were."We had no idea," Abernethy said. "We didn't get too excited at first, just thinking they were kind of crude. They're not like real nice arrowheads."Bruce Huckell, a University of New Mexico anthropology professor, became aware of the discovery a few years ago and identified the artifacts for what they were, Abernethy said.Huckell declined to be interviewed, saying he was barred from doing so because of a commitment to the National Geographic Society, which has provided research funding. The society declined to allow Huckell to immediately be interviewed.Swenson said the Clovis artifacts are not the first to be discovered in North Dakota; there are some in private collections. But she said it will be the first time there will be such prehistoric items on public display, and the small site in Golden Valley County where they were found is the first documented Clovis site in the state."There's much to be learned since there are relatively few sites (nationwide)," she said.
