Not sure why you would wanna do it like that but i would use Case statements like

<%
Select case Request.QueryString("mode")
CASE "newsmaker"
        'yourcodehere
CASE "newslist"
        'newslist code here
......
CASE Else
       'There is no querystring or unrecognized so do what you gotta do
END SELECT
%>

Case satements are so much cleaner and easier to manage than a huge IF ..Then block of code.

The reason I am saying that is that I see so many people trying to cramp a whole project into one page, thus it usually being failry unnecessary.
