Alaska, Kennicutt said an agenda was made and
members were able to get to know each other.
Since then, Kennicutt has returned to
Alaska to help conduct town meetings, al
lowing native Alaskans a chance to give their
testimony.
The next committee meeting is scheduled
for July and will hold town meetings again, but

will also allow for exploration of the oil fields.
“We are still pretty much in the informa
tion and fact-gathering part of the charge on
the committee,” Kennicutt said.
The final report is not due until summer
2002.
“Just to make it clear — we are not con
sidering whether or not ANWR should be
opened or not,” he said.
Kennicutt did say the conclusion will have
some impact on decisions related to opening
up the ANWR for drilling.
“At this point we have no conclusions be
cause we are just in the deliberation stage,”
he said.
get together and have fun.
“Sports inherently offer groups of people the chance
to work together as a team,” West said. “[This makes]
intramurals a great opportunity for student organiza
tions to build unity through teamwork.”
West said individual sports and dual sports can be es
pecially beneficial to new students who may not know
many people on campus.
“It can be a great way to meet opponents as well as
friends,” she said.
David Anderson, a team captain of intramural bas
ketball, said spending time with friends, competing
and the opportunity to meet people are good reasons
to join intramurals, but some students may be limit
ed by a hefty outside schedule.
However, Anderson said that time spent playing in
tramurals will be time well-invested.
“If you really enjoy it, you’ll make time for it in your
life,” he said.
Loans
Continued from Page 7
Federal student loans are given on a variable rate
that’s reset every July 1.
The new rates reflect long-term interest rates the U.S.
Treasury set after last week’s auction of Treasury bills.
Close to 8,000 colleges, universities and training
schools are eligible to participate in the federal loan
program.
This year alone, 5.3 million students and parents
took out federal education loans averaging $3,838
each, education officials said.
