Trustees OK budget for next fiscal year The Board also reviewed the University's and Health System's financial progress through April.

By Mary Clarke-Pearson The Summer Pennsytvanian

Featuring discussions that ranged from the University's fi- nancial status to the impending vacancies in the higher admin- istration, the Board of Trustees met last Thursday and Friday for their annual spring set of meetings.

Over the course of the two days, the trustees and Penn's top administrators attended sev- eral committee meetings to dis-

cuss the University's academic initiatives, plans for physical im- provement and the budget for the upcoming fiscal year.

These sessions culminated in a stated meeting on Friday morning, during which the Board passed a number of reso- lutions for the upcoming acade- mic year.

A key item on the agenda for the spring meetings was an up- date on the University's and Health System's finances for Fiscal Year 2002, which will

come to a close in July. "We saw some preliminary

numbers and they all looked pretty good," Board of Trustees Chairman Jim Reipe said. "The Health System is going to come in the black again, and the Uni- versity is coming in good con- tiditon related to its budget as well."

At the Budget and Finance Committee meeting on Thurs- day, University Treasurer Craig Carnaroli reported that the Uni- versity's endowment through April 30 saw an increase of 3.9 percent, compared to the bench-

Wrapping up FY '02 While the fiscal year does not end un- til July, the Trustees were presented with financial reports through April 30.

•Endowment: The University's endowment has seen a 3.9 percent increase over the terl month period, com- pared to the benchmark, which was down 2.8 percent. As of May 31, the market value of the endowment was $3.4 billion.

•Health System: The once-beleaguered Health Sys- tem reported an operating income of $17.6 million as of April 30. Its budgeted operating income for FY '02 was $15.1 million.

•What Ues Ahead: The Trustees have approved pre- liminary proposals of the University's and Health Sys- tem's budgets for FY '03.

Grant to fund further U. city commercial development Perm does not yet have a role in the program, which will help to improve city safety.

By Stephanie Ramos The Summer Pennsytvanian

The city streets of Baltimore and Lan- caster Avenues will soon witness the start of a $440,000 two year program to further the development of the two University City commercial districts.

The program was created by the Uni- versity City District with help from local groups — the Spruce Hill Community Association, the Cedar Park Community Association, and the Baltimore Avenue Business Association. However, the en- tire effort is funded by a grant from the William Penn Foundation.

UCD Executive Director Eric Gold- stein said that he was more than enthu- siastic about the program, which will revitalize the businesses of the densely populated area of University City.

"This project has given us some ex- cellent momentum [in the enhancement of the commercial corridors]," Goldstein said. "The project is in step with our main goal — ensuring that University City is a thriving community."

At this point, Penn does not have a spe- cific role in the program. However, Vice President for Government, Community and Public Affairs Carol Scheman says she believes that the program is a step in the right direction.

"Nothing has been finalized, but we'd be happy to work with the UCD on any- thing that would encourage or warrant collaboration," Scheman said.

"We're very excited about the effort," Scheman added. "It's a terrific opportu- nity."

Over the past six years, the involve- ment of the UCD in the surrounding area has brought about "tremendous gains in

Workers renovate and clean the outside of the Quadrangle along the 36th Street walkway. Renovations, which are taking place throughout the Quad, are part of a four-year, multi-million dollar plan to revamp the aging complex.

Quad enters final phase of four year construction project This summer, the renovations are focused on the revitalization of the Upper Quadrangle.

By Mary Clarke-Pearson The Summer Pennsytvanian

With construction already well underway, the Quad- rangle is in the final phase of a four-year project geared toward its complete revitalization.

Over the course of the next two months, workers will complete a series of internal and external reno- vations on Woodland College House — the triangle- shaped section in the upper Quad.

These renovations will include installing air-con- ditioning in the building, turning a number of stu- dent rooms into public spaces and doing a large amount of landscaping in the open areas of the Quad.

"This summer is probably the most ambitious of all four summers we've been working on the Quad," Housing and Conference Services Director Douglas Berger said.

On the interior of Woodland House, construction workers will be converting student rooms into a se- ries of house offices including a computer lab, a li- brary, a seminar room and an exercise room.

Additionally, they will be installing elevators in Craig and handicapped lifts in Memorial Tower and

EVPFryto leave post Monday University President Judith Rodin not yet announced who will become Fry's successor.

By Mary Clarke-Pearson The Summer Pennsylvanian

As John Fry's final days as Penn's Execu-

yVAk F H * *'ve ^'ce Pres'dent ^^\tna °* come to a close, the Uni- ^ttnr Fry Era versity community is

preparing itself for the loss of a key administrator.

On July 1, Fry will officially vacate his posi- tion as the University's chief operating officer to assume the presidency at Franklin and Mar- shall College in Lancaster, Pa.

But despite the fact that Fry announced in February that he would be leaving Penn for Franklin and Marshall, the University has yet to appoint a person to fill his shoes.

University President Judith Rodin, who is heading up the search, announced in April that the University had hired Spencer Stuart, an executive search consulting firm, to look ex- ternally for people to take on Fry's position.

Since then, the firm has narrowed down a list of prospective candidates that Rodin is using to make a final selection.

"We're actually inter- viewing finalists and we're quite optimistic about the pool of candidates," Rodin said. "We will be able to make an appointment in a timely fashion."

Rodin added that until a new Executive Vice President is named, the administrators who cur- rently work under Fry will report directly to her.

Since Rodin appointed Fry in 1995, he has overseen the University's fi- nances and investments, community initia- tives, supervised the Division of Public Safety and helped to expand area retail and real estate initiatives.

But Fry's work at Penn has extended well above and beyond his call for duty.

During his legacy at Penn, Fry also brought the Freshgrocer, Sansom Common and a new movie theater to campus. In the process, he has also improved the University's relationship with the West Philadelphia community by help- ing to establish the University City District and the Penn-Assisted Public School.

In addition, Fry played a significant role in the development of the 1995 Agenda for Ex- cellence — a five-year formula geared toward the advancement of the University's financial status, physical condition and national ranking. More recently, he has helped to draft a new strategic plan which will further build upon the Agenda's successes.

Nevertheless, while the University has not of- ficially named Fry's replacement, many ad- ministrators have indicated that the vacant position would not pose an immediate threat.

"The place he is leaving behind is not the

Movie being made about an alum's scandalous career Stephen Glass wrote fabricated articles for a magazine in D.C.

By Katharine Herrup The Summer Pennsylvanian

Penn and Daily Pennsylvan- ian alumnus Stephen Glass' shat- tered career as a rising superstar journalist is going to break into movie theaters next year.

Lions Gate Films is now making a movie based upon Buzz Bissinger's story enti- tled Shattered Glass —an account of Glass' full and partial fabri- cation of nearly half the articles that he wrote for The New Republic.

Hayden Christensen — who played the young Darth Vader in Star Wars Episode II: The Attack of the Clones—will be starring as Glass. And Director of the film Billy Ray will begin shoot- ing in August.

"It's being filmed in Montreal which is evidence that it's a low budget film," Peter Spiegal, Col- lege '92, said.

Investigative journalist Adam

Glass

Penenberg broke the story in 1998 that Glass — who was The Daily Pennsylvanian Executive Editor in 1993 — had fabricated a story entitled "Hack Heaven" for TNR.

"His lawyers admitted that he made it up," Penenberg said.

Even Scott Calvert, College '94, thought Glass' articles were somewhat unbelievable.

"I would read his stories in TNR and they just seemed too good to be true," Calvert said.

Bissinger — a Penn and DP alumnus— said that the article was actually sold to HBO right after it came out

However, even though HBO never made the article into a TV movie, Bissinger thinks it will definitely get made this time.

Lions Gate Films me- dia spokesman Peter Wilkes confirmed that Lions Gate is produc-

ing and distributing Shattered Glass, which is also the name of the movie.

The UCD program to revive the retail areas on Baltimore and Lancaster Aves. will be a great success.

A $440,000 grant from the William Penn Foundation will initiate a pro- gram to bring about the transfor- mation of Baltimore and Lancaster Avenues — two viable commercial corridors adjacent to campus.

The grant, which was proposed by the members of the University City District in conjunction with three other neighborhood groups — the Spruce Hill Community As- sociation, the Baltimore Avenue Business Association, and the Cedar Park Community Associa- tion — will investigate the retail needs of the community and seek

to improve the attractiveness of the area businesses.

The civic minded program is right in step with the UCD's main objective, to strengthen the Uni- versity City community in all as- pects. Some of the past UCD programs have fostered dissen- sion among other community leaders, who often feel that the UCD does not necessarily look to the majority of the community in the creation of their programs.

However, the latest effort by the UCD should work to the best ad- vantage of everyone in the neigh- borhood. The project's concept was created by the Baltimore Av- enue Business Association two years ago, and incorporation of the UCD and other community groups augments the neighborhood's in- put. The program's next few move-

ments will research the needs of the businesses and community residents, further adding to their involvement.

The UCD's most recent plan is also one of its most admirable. The group has learned from past suc- cesses and failures and has cre- ated a program which has the potential to be highly effective.

The program's incentive is clear — it will benefit the commercial districts as well as the surrounding communities. We would encour- age Penn to offer assistance to the effort by its neighbors.

We applaud the University City District for their ambition and hope that they are able to involve the community and make the pro- gram a great success with the aid and consent of the University City residents.

OPINION

In light of the urban plight I could never really under-

stand Chicago. It is Amer- ica's third largest city, an urban masterpiece which

sits on an enormous glaciated freshwater lake, yet no major estuary or ocean can be found Aaron Short Guest Columnist

anywhere near the communi- ty. In my opinion,

there is something fundamen- tally wrong when Chicagoans say that they're going to spend a day at the beach only to sit beside a freshwater lake, with- out the perils of fast floating jellyfish or eye and skin irrita- tion by heavily polluted sea- water. Then again, I*m from Connecticut.

The city on the lake was originally a trading post for fur pellets, seashells, and large wild game between Native Americans and early Ameri- cans on the 18th century fron- tier. As settlers inhabited the Midwest and livestock be- came more prevalent the meat packing industry es- tablished residence. Steel, railroad, and large manu- facturing industries followed and the city boomed. Then, of course, it all burned down by accident. That's right, the entire city. Soon several fa- mous architects made their fortunes by designing mod- ern-looking buildings in place of previously pic- turesque skyline, now only smoldering ashes (My hum- blest apologies to David Brownlee). With its skyline in tact and its industries churning out household products including Morton's Salt. Quaker Oatmeal, and Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Chicago became one of the world's premier cities.

I chose to visit the city a few weeks ago to do some research and see a few friends. I stayed in Highland Park, a suburb on Chicago's North Shore, a town which has just about as much charm as Cherry Hill, NJ. Sub- urbs look the same every- where in America, and you can almost expect three Baby Gaps, a Nordstrom outlet, and a canine pastry store in each shopping market. Highland Park, Glencoe, Winnetka. and other Chicago suburbs were in form, boasting spotless town centers, new car retailers, planned communities and mul- ti-level lakeside houses. I re- ceived an offer to spend a day on family boating outing on Lake Michigan, the favorite pastime of many a Chicago family. A true Chicagoan, my friend's father told me enthu- siastically that there was "nothing quite as disconcert- ing as standing on your boat in the cold, desolate waters of Lake Michigan when your rud- der has broken down. One time it poured on us for three hours before the Coast Guard arrived."

I politely declined his generous offer and instead spent my first full day at the campus of the Univer- sity of Chicago. The simi- larities between the University of Chicago and the University of Pennsyl- vania are striking. U Chica- go is located in Hyde Park, an upscale urban pocket

surrounded by impover- ished neighborhoods of the South Side. Hyde Park and the surrounding area were transformed through a massive urban renewal campaign during the 1950s and early 1960s.

In 1953, the University sought to develop a commer- cial hub centered at 55th Street and Lake Park Avenue ex- tending south to 57th Street. In order to attract private de- velopers, the University would need to raze 47.3 acres be- tween 52nd and 57th Streets — relocating 150 businesses and 1,200 families in its wake. The University, with help from the state, was able to acquire the titles to buildings on the necessary properties when they had the neighborhood classified as "blighted." The Federal Housing Act of 1954 enabled the University to use federal funds towards the pri- vate development along that corridor. Throughout the 1950s, buildings along 55th Street were demolished to make way for modern town- houses, apartments, a super- market, restaurants, parks, and playgrounds. Faculty and staff moved into the new hous- es with their families soon af- ter the construction. The University created a stable community of scholars in Hyde Park, which exists to this day, despite much criticism con- cerning the displacement of the urban impoverished.

Chicago's efforts have not gone unnoticed by Penn ad- ministrators. John Fry, outgo- ing executive vice president, has studied several universi- ties — including Chicago — for models of urban campus re- newal. Martin Meyerson, for- mer president of Penn, used urban planning skills honed during his time as a professor at the University of Chicago in the development of Penn's campus during his tenure. The establishment of Sansom Com- mons, the 40th Street corridor, and the Freshgrocer mirror U Chicago's commercial devel- opment. The demolition of Hamilton Village in favor of apartment-style high rises echoes Chicago's residential development. Still, there are important differences between the universities. The most sig- nificant is Penn's desire to es- tablish partnerships with local schools and run its own as- sisted school for the commu- nity. U Chicago instead established a private labora- tory school whose attendance was limited to children of Uni- versity faculty.

I am still intrigued by the many similarities between the two private research in- stitutions and how closely leadership at universities studies other institutions for insight into their own devel- opment plans. I left Chica- go mindful of how similar urban architecture, subur- ban culture, and university development are across America. Hopefully, unlike Chicago, none of it will burn down again anytime soon.

15 minute break is sup- posed to be used for a coffee break, which, in turn, is intended to spur on one's work. The sys-

tem, as laid out by the Human Resources de- partment, is strict but fair. In practice, however, the system allows for a quite a large loophole — for smokers.

From my cubicle's vantage point, I can see the area outside where staff members spend their many cigarette breaks. A great number of my co-workers spend quite a bit of time outside taking their "deserved" breaks as each day unfolds. Seriously ad- dicted smokers go outside more than once every hour. Certainly, I do not have a prob- lem with anyone smoking; it is their pre- rogative. But I do object to unmerited preferential treatment to smokers. At my employer's, smokers are not at all repri- manded for those additional breaks, even those exceeding their one hour allowance.

Why is it that smokers are allowed extra breaks because of their nicotine addiction? If I went outside every few minutes to walk around, or decided after every hour that I absolutely needed to have a snack, people would start to ask questions, not to men-

one is telling the smokers to go back to work. I spoke with some of my smoking co-

workers, asking them why they should be al- lowed the extra smoking breaks. When confronted with such "difficult questions," the smokers I talked to claim that going outside to smoke is actually impinging on their rights. As one of my co-workers re- marked today, "Clearly we are catering to non-smokers. There-are enough of us [smokers] that we should be allowed to smoke inside."

In other words, smokers should be al- lowed to go outside and smoke. Not only that, but they deserve to, because they are doing us non-smokers a favor.

The practice of allowing smokers free rein comes at the expense of their non-smoking peers and is detrimental to the total work output. As a non-smoker being confronted with this situation, I feel this allowance for smokers defies logic. Common sense says those working inside are spending more time actually working, but most non-smok- ers do not see that sense of goodwill tossed back their way. Perhaps, if I were also get- ting extra breaks, I would understand this better. But it is more likely that I'd still see the truth of the matter — that smokers are taking advantage of a flawed system.

The origin of the fatal flaw, in my opinion, could stem from the fact that there are large enough numbers of upper-management smokers who are able to bypass the stated rules themselves. Higher-ups are given the fancy offices and bigger salaries befitting

their positions. Because those in charge of the company are quite in control, they are the true rule-makers. The smoking al- lowance is further understandable if the members of Human Resources themselves smoke. I am not completely surprised that the trend continues; it is just another man- agement perk. Yet, staff smokers are still benefiting from the unwritten allowance.

Upper-level people do not take longer lunch breaks, nor do they obtain longer cof- fee breaks. Lower-level people are repri- manded for making either exceed the allotted times. Smoking is the sole area of in- equity that transcends status. Non-smok- ers become second-class citizens in a working environment.

Clearly, the easiest way to get extra breaks is to disregard all the warnings of lung cancer and other health concerns' related to smoking. On a particularly long day, you could spare yourself a few min - utes by going outside and puffing your life away. And, to your amusement, your di- minished workload and the slack left by your minutes spent outside are picked up by the ranks of the non-smokers you have just left behind.

In the interest of health, non-smokers will probably not pick up a cigarette, and one day the unsound system may eventu- ally end. Unfortunately, by my thoughts, the end of the system may not be seen until the year 2060 or later. These condi- tions will affect my entire working career, and the careers of most of the people reading this column. But, for the time be- ing, and for lack of a cigarette break, I am simply left perplexed as to why I can't go outside and take my own fresh-air break.

Nightly news and their views The cat was almost out of the

bag and ready to tear its claws through the hearts of millions of comfortable

American lives. It was bad enough that Andy

Rooney, speaking on "Larry King Live," let it

Jason Bartlett Guest Columnist

slip that he was consis- tently biased; then the wit-

^^^"^^^^™" ty old cur- mudgeon had to go and reveal the astonishing fact that most of the news media, especially television network anchors, were "trans- parently" biased. Surely, a blatant action of this kind could lead to nothing but chaos. Imagine the fallout — scores of Americans sent reeling from the shock of discov- ering that "unbiased news" might in fact be merely a myth.

I immediately went scouring for more evidence, hoping to find little that could sway the faith of nightly news-watchers across the nation. But, it was there, plain to see for any Tom, Dick or Harry with a 24k hookup.

Just days later CNN anchor- man Aaron Brown began his roundup of the days' news with the sad tragedy of an American denied his civil rights. I could bare- ly contain my disgust long enough to hear that the poor guy, Jose Padilla, was being held indefinite- ly by the military, all because of one dirty bomb. Well, personally, I would rather lug a case of potas- sium-iodine (irradiation antidote) around with me than allow a man

to wallow in a cell without his right to access 1-800-LAWYERS. But would CNN's means betray their glorious motive?

I searched their site for all the news on Padilla. Of the ten top ar- ticles, eight included terms like "Dirty bomb suspect has fewer le- gal rights," "arrest criticized," "Padilla's containment a 'consti- tutional concern,'" and "Ashcroft statement on 'dirty bomb' sus- pect." Would the gig be up? How could they be so bold? Don't they know that many Ameri- cans can read and some even count? Obviously, Ted Turner has lost a little bit of that subtlety which al- lowed him to gain an early mo- nopoly on the news game.

I frantically clicked over to CBS. Now, those guys were on top of their game. Their search engine was muddled and barely coher- ent, a brilliant tribute to the way politics and government ought to be. Buried beneath Dan Rather's riveting expose on evil moving companies were only two archives on the Padilla case: a scorching editorial, "Ashcroft: Minister of Terror," which lambastes the gov- ernment for frightening people

with the possibilities of future ter- rorist attacks, followed by 'Dirty Bomb Materials Plentiful in U.S." Well, that's not too bad. How many people could possibly catch the irony of that?

Nonetheless, I was worried. If television news was speeding down the fast track to abysmal, where will the advertisers turn? Where will get our opinions? How will we vote? My mind trembled

with the prospect of poorly clothed,in- continent citizens spurning moderately priced luxu- ry cars to run wild- eyed through the streets. So I

Stephanie Ramos/The Summer Pennsylvanian did what any

red-blooded man of the people would — I headed to the nearest coffee shop to drown my sorrows in a latte.

The melodramatic buzz of in- tellect had nearly soothed my soul when suddenly the shat- tering shrieks of debate vio- lently rang through the air. I looked to the table next to me and saw two excited Penn stu- dents frothing at one another. Their words, like giant boul- ders, catapulted from side to side, each smashing the ram- parts of his defender. I fumbled for my sippee straws, ready to defend myself, should the bat-

tle escalate and roll over onto my tranquil ottoman.

I was certain that all out war would ensue. I had to pick a side quickly as one of the com- batants stood tall and inquired in a menacing tone, "Oh yeah, well how do you know?' The gauntlet had been thrown. Surely there could be no prop- er response, no way to pull back from the front. I ducked low to escape the shrapnel as the other stood up. They were face-to-face with trembling lips and clenched fists when the rebuttal came full force: "Dan Rather said so on CBS last night."

And there it was. The faithful were still devout. The storm had passed and the once hostile Quak- ers returned to their chairs, mak- ing amiable conversation over double latte moccachinos. The ; world was right again, all for the undeniable authority of the evening news. I quickly gathered | my things and sped out the door, humming a catchy little tune I'd recently heard, "The news and ! views as quick as a wink for those of you who hate to think."

I was safe for the moment. ' But, whatever will we do when J Dan and his buddies depart for ; that great Pulitzer Prize in the sky? I better start watching . George Stephanopoulos soon. I'm sure that he'll tell me. «

■ QUAD from page 1

Carruth. According to current College

Houses and Academic Services Director David Brownlee, these internal renovations have pre- sented a challege due to the fact that Woodland House is in the old- est section of the Quad.

"This summer's work is the most difficult because it's in the oldest part of the building," Brownlee said. "This part was built in the 1890s and the struc- tural systems there are more old- fashioned and difficult to work with."

In addition to the construction on the inside of the building, a number of landscaping projects are underway to revamp the green areas in the lower and mid- dle Quad.

Not only will workers be plant- ing a continuous row of trees along each side of the middle Quad, but they will also be con- verting a small courtyard near Woodland House into an outdoor room to be used for house events. Moreover, Brownlee noted that an ampitheater is being con- structed in the upper Quad as well

"In the trapezoidal space a very shallow ampitheater is being cre- ated," Brownlee said. "They're building some shallow sitting steps more for just sitting and watching the sun than for the- atrical events."

This final phase of renovations will compliment the previous three summers of construction in the Quad.

Since 1999, the dormitory has undergone a series of renovations totaling nearly $75 million in order to fashion it into a more commu- nal residence.

Workers have condensed the Quad's original four houses into three college houses and created libraries, lounges and computer

labs for residents to use. Furthermore, these renova-

tions have included installing air conditioning in students' rooms and refurbishing bathrooms and hallways.

Nevertheless, while the bulk of these endeavors will be complete by September, Brownlee said that they will be waiting until the summer of 2003 to renovate the Quad's entrances.

"Both of the entryways will be getting new security systems," Brownlee said "The present thing that looks like Alcatraz will be re- moved and something that looks frankly more like coming home than going to prison will replace it"

Brownlee added that workers will also be rebuilding the fence on the southern side of the Quad.

"The fence outside is crumbling and what we've decided to do is leave that until the summer of 2003," Brownlee said "We'll clean the masonry on the facade of the building at the same time."

By saving these remaining pro- jects for next year, administrators are optimistic that this summer's renovations will be completed on schedule.

"Overall it is a very tight sched- ule and inevitably in the last few weeks we all hold a lot of hope that we will accomplish what we need to accomplish," Vice Presi- dent for Facilities Services Omar Blaik said. "But we not in any way behind where we expected to be."

Brownlee added that the past three years of renovations have given administrators a sense for timing the completion of con- struction with the start of the school year.

"It is quite remarkable that this will be our fourth summer of working in the Quad without de- laying more than a handful of stu- dents in any given year," he said.

same one that he took over," Vice President for Facilities Ser- vices Omar Blaik said. "Be- cause of that there is enough strength within the University to continue with the momentum of the past few years."

According to Fry, who will be following through with his re- sponsibilities as Executive Vice President up to his last day of work, there are no pressing obligations that his successor will have to tend to right away.

"I actually think that, in terms of short term hot issues, across the board we have things pret- ty well in control," Fry said.

Over the course of the spring semester, Fry said that he has continued his involvement with several ongoing projects in- cluding improvements in Cam- pus Dining Services, negotiations about the post of- fice properties and the the de- velopment of internal management initiatives.

"It's been very busy and I clearly did not play any sort of a lame duck here," Fry said. "I've been very active in the various initiatives we've been pushing... and I've been continuing to fo-

cus on them until this week." If anything, Fry said that his

successor will need to take time to get acquainted with the Uni- versity's affairs before jumping into any of the projects that are currently underway.

The new Executive Vice Pres- ident "will need to quickly come up to speed with long term is- sues and the people and culture of Penn," Fry said. "The key is to be patient enough to come in and learn a bit about the insti- tution."

Yet regardless of the stability that he has helped bring to the University, Fry's departure has still garnered bittersweet reac- tions.

"Definitely Fry's departure is a loss, but we are delighted that he is going on to bigger and bet- ter opportunities," Blaik said.

Fry, too, shared similar sen- timents about leaving the Uni- versity, although he said that his work would be in good hands.

"If I have a regret it's that I won't be able to see many of the long term projects that I initi- ated all the way through," Fry said. "On the other side, I know that we have great people in place to see those things for- ward."

Cosby performs at education benefit

Please Recycle this SP

The event was held to raise money for a fund that supports teaching.

By Katharine Herrup The Summer Fennsylvanian

Last Wfednesday, actor, comedian and Philadelphia native Bill Cosby hosted "An Evening with Bill Cos- by: A Tribute to Support Rising Stars in Education—an event pre- sented by Penn's Graduate School of Education.

More than 940 Penn alumni, teachers, and students came to see Cosby perform at the Annenberg Center for Performing Arts.

He is "one of Philadelphia's fa- vorite sons... [he] has kept us laughing and learning for more than 30 years," University Presi- dent Judith Rodin said "His char- acter and creations have held a mirror up to ourselves... indeed it is fair to say that the world has been Bill Cosby's classroom."

Cosby—who spoke for over two hours — revealed his thoughts about education in America today mainly through telling stories about his experiences when he was in school.

He dedicated the evening to his sixth grade teacher Mary Nagle of Philadelphia's John Wister Ele- mentary School.

During his speech, Cosby point- ed out many aspects in the educa- tion system that are, in his view, wrong.

Cosby also ridiculed the Presi- dent of the United States for not knowing his grammar by referring to one of President Bush's speech- es where he said, "you misunder- estimate us."

"I know they had a meeting with him after that... it's in the dictio- nary now — white people put it in the dictionary," Cosby joked.

The former Temple University graduate added that these sorts of mistakes set a bad example for chil- dren.

Cosby—who starred in The Cos- by Show sitcom series — also spoke about the influence of televi- sion on children's education. In par- ticular, he talked about the Osbourne show.

"I listen to these children and what they have to go up against They're up against the TV set," Cosby said. "Are [the Osbournes] on TV as some kind of family we are supposed to be?"

Cosby was also disappointed with the way politicians have become involved in the classroom. When he was in grade school, Cosby said that politicians had banned stu- dents from singing a particular song.

"What did our children ever do to a politician that politicians would want to do that?" Cosby asked

However, Cosby also offered ad vice to teachers and future teachers in the audience.

Furthermore, he warned teach- ers not to be afraid of intelligent students that will challenge them.

on Wednesday June 19th. Money raised by the event wibeJp support teachere.

"You teachers don't understand — there's nothing like a kid that is brilliant that will come up against you," Cosby said.

Moreover, Cosby emphasized with teachers by offering words of encouragement to them as well.

"It's important for you guys to understand you really have to be- lieve in yourselves, you teachers," Cosby said.

This event officially inaugurated the establishment of the Tito Puente Scholarship Fund which will help support the financial costs for Penn GSE students and their careers in Philadelphia schools. Approximately $1,063,000 has al- ready been raised for the fund

"We hope this is only the begin- ning," GSE Dean Susan Fuhrman said "I'm looking forward to work- ing with alumni, friends and mem- bers of the private sector to ensure that each goal continues to be met and that we develop new ways of bolstering resources for aspiring teachers."

In addition, a sweatshirt was auc- tioned at the dinner before Cosby's performance. It was sold for $2,500

— enough money to support two and a half mentors.

Latin dance musician Tito Puente Jr. kicked off the event by performing his father's music. The event was held both in honor of the late Tito Puente's humanitarian spirit and Penn GSE students who pledge to teach.

While a few people left in the middle of Cosby's performance, many applauded his speech.

"What can you say about a man who sits there without paper and pen and can make a sentence — he's demonstrating what it means to be educated" Dr. George Phillips (Coll.'67) said. "It takes a strong person to really say what really should be said."

GSE Financial Coordinator-. Regina Cantave added that Cos- by's speech was very down-to- earth.

"I thought his speech was won- derful. Bill Cosby speaks very poignantly, he's very easy to un- derstand and he speaks right to the heart," Cantave said "I think that's why America loves him the way we do because he is one of us."

Terrorism conference held Penn's own Harris Sokoloff led a discussion on how citizens can respond to terrorist attacks.

By Nisha Trivcdi The Summer Penruylvankn

Ever since the September 11 terrorist attacks, a national de- bate has surfaced about the methods that can be used to combat terrorism and prevent future attacks.

These issues were cast in a new light earlier this week, how- ever, when Philadelphia hosted a four-day conference geared to- ward discussing terrorism and — in the process — learning about how to lead a successful forum. The four-day event was held in the National Liberty Mu- seum in Center City.

Responding to a need for na- tional dialogue about the issues at stake, the National Issues Fo- rum — a nationwide network of educational and community or- ganizations that deliberate about nationwide issues — has been running training work- shops through its Public Policy Institutes.

Its objective, however, was not for the participants to learn about terrorism so much as it was for them to observe group dynamics similar to that of a public forum. Upon obtaining a greater understanding of the is- sues in question, attendees would be able to conduct similar forums in their own diverse communities.

"The purpose of the confer- ence was to learn how to run fo- rums," participant Michael Shannon said. Shannon is the president of a company in New Jersey which has a mission of bridging diversity and creating change.

The workshops provided an educational setting that allowed participants to explore values through the practice of deliber- ation, which NIF defines as a "way of reasoning and talking together" rather than an adver- sarial debate.

Penn's own Harris Sokoloff headed up the first of these ses- sions in a forum which posed the question "Terrorism: What should we do now?" Harris is the director of the Center for School Study Councils at the Graduate School of Education.

About twenty participants at- tended the forum, most of whom represented various political ac- tivist organizations. Regardless of their affiliations, however, all attendees shared the common goal of learning how to run ef- fective forums in their respec- tive communities.

After filling out a pre forum questionnaire that asked the participants to assess their atti- tudes toward various potential actions against terrorism, at- tendees viewed a brief video out- lining the three approaches to terrorism that served as a basis for the discussion that was to follow.

Among the proposed solutions were involving military sources to root out and destroy terrorist organizations, enforcing sanc- tions on terrorist-supporting na- tions and significantly increasing homeland security, even at the expense of certain personal freedoms.

Additionally, the video sug- gested that the root of terror- ism — widely believed to be the resentment that Muslims and

Arabs feel toward the U.S. — be examined with the intention of reassessing the way the U.S. in- fluences power in the Mideast.

During the discussion, the participants weighed the pros and cons for each of the three courses of action and then pre- sented their evaluations of how the public views each of the al- ternatives.

Afterwards, in a post-forum reflection, there was a general consensus that within the public there is controversy over how to combat terrorism.

"There is tension between try- ing to attack the root causes [of terrorism] and recognizing the need for initial military re- sponse," one participant said.

After the day's session was complete, a few of the partici- pants shared their view of the deliberation that took place.

Sue Ellen Klein, who works at White Dog Cafe and was repre- senting the Jewish Dialogue Group, said that the forum in- creased the participants' un- derstanding of the public perspective.

Participating in a forum "makes you move out of your own responses to terrorism and helps you realize the larger re- sponses that people have toward issues," she said.

Kya Simpkins, a high school teacher currently enrolled in a course at Penn that provides in- struction on solving community problems, said that the forum serves as an "experiment" to see if group deliberation would work in a broader sense and serve a main objective of the NIF

"We will see whether the ideas generated today will be put into practice," Simpkins said.

Hayden Christensen will star as Glass ■ GLASS from page 1

ly fabricated 27 of the 41 stories he wrote for the publication.

Bissinger, who has read the script, finds it to be very faithful to his own article. However, Ray said that the script would be supple- mented by his own research as well.

"It's an improbable tale of a young guy that is very popular and seems to be perfect on the out- side, but was ripping off the sys- tem left and right," Bissinger said.

Bissinger also thinks it is a sto- ry that should be remembered even though he believes it tar- nished the journalism profession.

"This is a story that should not be forgotten. It was outrageous. It was an insult to journalists around the world," Bissinger said.

However shocking the story of Glass' collapse may be, some col- leagues feel that it may not have mass public appeal.

"It was a really hot and com- pelling story when it happened, but I find it hard to believe that anyone is going to be interested in it four years later," DP alumnus Spiegal said.

Kenneth Baer, College '94, agreed.

"Here is my prediction — straight to video, it won't see the light of day," he said.

But Bissinger thinks that the movie will be a pot boiler since he considers it to be a film about es- pionage.

However, others feel that the Glass scandal does not even de- serve to be projected onto the big screen.

"I'm a little appalled," Roxanne PateL College '93, said. "As a jour- nalist I am disturbed that his be- havior is deemed sexy enough that

they want to make a movie about it There's a degree of notoriety about it that bothers me."

Although Glass, College '94, may have destroyed his own cred- ibility, reputation and career, everyone who knew him before the incident occurred remembers him as an entirely different per- son.

"He was an amazing reporter. That's what is the shame of the whole thing," Baer, a DP colleague of Glass', said. "Steve is incredibly smart, worked incredibly hard and was really driven."

And many said that Glass was the last person they would have expected to do such a thing.

"I was flabbergasted just be- cause I had never known Steve to do anything like that," Calvert said.

However, looking back, several DP colleagues saw some possible warning signs that Glass' career could go awry.

"He was almost too serious about his journalistic mission," Calvert reflected.

But Glass' character seemed to have drastically changed once it was revealed that he had been fab ricating articles.

"As we de-bunked ['Hack Heav- en"] he would lie... and come up with another source, another lie," Penenberg said.

Lane, among many others, had also been deceived by Glass.

"I caught him in a bunch of lies. He told a bunch of things to my face that were not true," Lane said. "He faked a website and showed me someone's fake busi-

ness card." Lane — now a reporter for The

Washington Post — was never able to make Glass confess to fab ricating "Hack Heaven." Instead, Glass onry revealed information to his lawyer.

"Steve stipulated through his lawyer that for the most part our investigation was accurate," Lane said.

After Penenberg came forward with his investigation into "Hack Heaven," TNR conducted their own investigation of all the pieces Glass had written for the maga- zine.

Glass went on to graduate from Georgetown Law School and is now living in New York, accord- ing to Spiegal. However, he is not a registered practicing lawyer.

Glass did not respond to any emails or a phone call to his par- ents' home.

And while Glass' actions have brought him significant notoriety, some feel sorry that he will not be able to live a life without constant scrutiny.

"I realty believe he was suffered greatly," Penenberg said. "I wish he had just told the truth He had so many opportunities to come clean, but he wouldn't come clean."

Yet despite Glass having earned Joey Buttafuco fame, as Penen- berg calls it, Baer believes he re- mains a decent person.

"I don't think Steve is an evil person at all. I don't know why he did what he did, but, hopefully, he is coming to terms with that," Baer said.

> DETOUR Lizzie Simon Pocket Books $16.80 (Amazon)

Last June, I turned

twenty-one in the psychi-

atric ward of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. Last July, Lizzie Simon put the fin- ishing touches on her book De- tour: My Bipolar Road Trip in 4-D. At twenty-three, Simon drove across the country in search of other young bipolars like us. Three weeks ago, I turned twenty-two in Madrid, Spain. Even while 1 was having a blast in Europe, I had to take 675 mil- ligrams of Lithium every night. And I still do. Lizzie Simon takes the same drug with a different dosage just before she goes to

bed, too. We pop the <■ pill? like

one takes Advil for headaches. Once on medication, however, being bipolar is no different from being anyone else.

In her memoir, Lizzie Simon is quite candid about her full blown manic episodes that be- gan at the age of seventeen. They included hallucinations, delu- sions and theories of conspira- cy. Once they even caused her to publicly urinate on a plane. These hallucinations and delu- sions, however, rarely follow a set path. Road signs, newspa- per headlines, snatches of con- versation and random faces all contribute to a singular revela- tion about the universe. Inter- estingly enough, Detour follows

the same non-linear pattern. Si- mon relates her account in frag- ments, causing the reader to remember that period of her life in the same fits and spurts she assumedly does. The experi- ences of Simon's profiled bipo- lars also help to trigger memories in the author. Simon thus flips between accounts of her gradually worsening men- tal health, her college experi- ence and her short time as a theatre producer.

It is refreshing to find that Lizzie Simon does not come to an earth-shattering conclusion. She just needed to find out something about herself— the same thing I had to learn when I almost gave up my last semes- ter at Penn. Lizzie Simon had to accept herself with the label of BIPOLAR stamped on her fore- head. From there, she knew she was going to be fine.

THE BRICK PLAYHOUSE IS A DIVE Comedy troupe has twice the laughs for half the money

> FAST FOOD NATION Eric Schlosser HarperCollins $11.16 (Amazon)

WiT's book, Fast Food Nation: The Dark

Side of the Ail-American Meal, Eric Schlosser confirms his place among writers-who-bad-peo- ple-don't-like. A long-time jour- nalist who focuses on marijuana use and the war on drugs, Schlosser turns to an industry that is just as open to criticism but \acks the issue of illegality — that clearly draws the line be- tween "right" and "wrong" in is- sues of drug use. He sets his findings about the fast food cul- ture apart from the common misgivings ("I hear they use rat meat!" "They chopped down the rain forest so their cows can graze!") by offering a thesis with a new perspective: fast food restaurants, both directly and indirectly, have permanently al- tered the American landscape and culture.

The book begins with a few informative chapters about the

early days of fast food restau- rants

and the American love affair with them. With the mass-ap- peal of the convenience of cars came the mass-appeal of the convenience of fast food. Amer- icans got lazier and restaurant numbers grew. With so many fast food restaurants came the concept of a strip mall, and the neighborhoods that surround them. Thus, the American land- scape and culture are shaped by the industry. These first chap- ters successfully suck you in as he offers an anecdotal narrative that puts a face and a history where elsewhere one would simply find statistics.

The tone is maintained throughout the book, but the fo- cus quickly strays. For the re- mainder of the book, Schlosser concentrates on the meatpack- ing and potato-growing indus- tries, the natural ally of any productive franchise owner. The idea he conveys with his stories about the industry is poignant and relevant. The executives are monstrous money-mongers

who exploit immigrant workers under conditions fit for a sweat- shop. It is a human rights issue that is rarely publicized and, moreover, the influence of the top executives is much more far- reaching than the regular con- sumer could even imagine. However, this no longer coin- cides with his original goal of showing how the fast food in- dustry affected the American landscape.

Specifically because of the re- porting on the meatpacking and potato-growing industries, re- gardless of his original thesis, Fast Food Nation is an impor- tant and fascinating book to read. Schlosser did his home- work and the facts are there. I felt like I accepted these facts too easily, however, because I had no background on the is- sue and his one-sided argument is wholly convincing. Luckily, he closes the book with a new epilogue that explains and re- sponds to the criticism that he received (mostly from the Right). I am not now a vegetarian (who could give up cheesesteaks?) but the book pried my eyes open on a subject I didn't even know I was avoiding.

by Jake Brooks From outside, The Brick

Playhouse is more reminis- cent of a halfway house,

than a theater. It's a hole in the wall — a doorway sandwiched in between a defunct South Street bar and what a Walmart would be if it were located in the fifth circle of hell. There is no sign, let alone a marquis. There is not even a small placard painted by one of their "arty" friends. Just a door lit- tered by small flyers proclaiming tonight's performers, The Dive. Welcome to experimental theater, no one's day job.

Somewhere in between high school productions of South Pa- cific and off-off Broadway is The Brick Playhouse. It is a small group of individuals dedicated to the fostering of new and experimen- tal theater in Philadelphia. Their focus is more on the creation of new theater, than on the produc- tion itself. Their small theater — max capacity of around 80 (and that is with people sitting on the floor) — is the most telling. It is flanked by two brick walls, so as- sumedly the price tag read "as is," since this company could not af- ford to redecorate. But the bricks are cool in the summer. And in the dark, the brick is a as black as a gold plated wall or a mural-cov- ered ceiling. The small, un- adorned theater says these people are not here for the money (It would be surprising if they jven

Remember that show Un- solved Mysteries about

haunted comedy clubs and good Samaritans who disappear with-

turn a profit.). But pay ten dollars and one will find burgeoning tal- ent mixed with mediocrity in a warm elixir suitable for both those thirst- ing for grassroots theater and an inexpensive cultural out- ing, alike.

Last Satur- day, The Dive — an actor run comedy troupe based out of the The Brick Play- house — took stage. They per- formed a slew of com- edy sketches — following a format similar to that of Satur- day Night Live, — with a guest host and a musical guest . With the freedom afforded the cozy, comfortable environment, the writers of The Dive pushed the boundaries of taste. The con- tent of the sketches ranged from the invention of the meatball to the murder of a prostitute to an ambiguously gay basketball coach, all sprinkled with a healthy

dose of blow job references. The Dive's sketches, quite like its SNL

predecessor, were hit and miss, but overall, the ac-

tors were engaging and made up for

the, at times, de- rivative materi- al. Since last Saturday's show was merely a warm-up for the up- coming Fringe Festival, the troupe will not perform again until early Au- gust.

The Brick Playhouse re-

mains active, however, with

playwriting workshops and

out a trace? Well Clinic does. In fact, they fashioned their whole sound around the theme song. Sound interesting? Well, it is... for about 15 minutes.

The spook-rock found on Clinic's WalkingWith Thee is one

part eerie fun, one part Strokes-like rock and zero parts exciting. Despite an

alluring sound, complete with echoed drums, mumbled and monotone vocals, chilling horn and piano arrangements, and a

wide variety of tempos, Clinic fails to produce a single track that invokes strong emotions. Walking With Thee fails to deliver either a truly relaxing or

even danceable track. Instead the listener finds oneself stuck in an uncomfortable limbo be- tween a relaxing bliss and a fren- zied dancing fever.

Two tracks, however, stand out for their undeniable fun.

> CLINIC Walking With Thee Domino • @ TLA this Sat., June 29 @ 9 p.m.

"Harmony" is Clinic's ode to Robert Stack and everyone's fa- vorite half-hour mystery spe- cial; it sounds exactly like the theme song, no lie. Then there's the interestingly groovy "Mr. Moonlight," a track that devel- ops at a crawling pace but works alongside a hypnotic enough a guitar slide groove and slowly rising drum work.

Taken on a whole, Walking With Thee is simply boring. Their sound is mildly reminiscent of the much more energetic and imaginative retro-rock group Make-Up, but they fail to explore their scales beyond a simple mi- nor key. Rightfully so, their hype that rides on the coattails of the more creative and interesting rock of the day should be short lived. - Matt Volgraf

and blows a kiss at it... sweet). But most importantly, it has a Gary Coleman/Todd Bridges re- union. (Since I am not sure how many of you know what became of the ill-fated cast of Diff'rent Strokes, I'll try and sum it up for you: Kimberly blew a whole bunch of methamphetamine, robbed a video store and died; Willis blew a whole bunch of methamphetamine, shot a drug dealer and lived; little Arnold turned into a self-loathing mock- ery of himself and lived... as a midget security guard.) The point is that their destinies led them down very different paths as they progressed from child stars to wash-ups, and for Moby to bring Arnold and Willis back together onscreen for the first time ever and have them lip-synching the lines "People they come togeth- er/People they fall apart" is a clear act of genius. And so you ask, if the video is so creative, the music of 18 should be as well, right? Well it's pretty damn good... if you are a Dali-poster- slinging sorority chick.

very similar to Moby's preceding, superior al- bum Play. There are truly beau- tiful segments, especially in the tracks entitled "One of These Mornings" and "In My Heart". The main problem I have with it is that, while Ptoyexhibited many varying styles from track to track, almost every song on 18 sounds identical to the one that preced- ed it. The formula is not very complicated either: they all in- clude orchestral swells during their bridges and center on pi- ano-driven rhythm. But I sup- pose that's just what Moby has become.... I mean, let's be hon- est, he sold out — Lenny Kravitz- style — by lending his music to car commercials. A greedy act like that is a Neddy-No-No if you want to stay respected in the DJ business. Yet, there are a few no- table exceptions to the Moby song pattern, such as "Jam For

few cool samples. I can see listening to this

record in the following scenar- ios: makin' whoppee, makin' whoppee on a beach, makin' whoppee in a dimly-lit room with satin curtains, driving in a con- vertible through an upper-mid- dle class neighborhood, lying on a beach in the Hamptons and (if you're cunning) using it as a sub- stitute soundtrack for new-age pom, much like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon can be used for The Wizard of Oz.

The bottom line is that /8isn't really bad at all, in fact it's quite pleasant and soothing. The prob- lem lies in its derivative feel, its formulaic repetition and also, if you're a guy, the noticeably ef- feminate feeling it produces in your genitals.

JUST UKE MAMA USED TO MAKE Blackalicious' sophomore effort is hip hop at its best by Paul Farber Is it possible to be a major label

Coast underground hip hop star- lets Blackalicious, the struggle to maintain true artistry while be- ing signed to a major label (MCA) seems effortless. With their first attempt at the national market Blazing Arrow (sequel to their in- dependent hit Nia) not only do they reach the surface of a count- less sea of hip hop acts, but breathe fresh air into the artform as a whole.

Blazing Arrow is a truly special musical endeavor. Seventeen tracks deep, MC Gift of Gab and DJ Xcel take listeners through their imaginative and sincere ma- terial in true hip hop fashion. But the concepts, emotions, language and musical structure packed into Blazing Arrow, all contribute to

true to his procla- mation on "Green Light," Gab is truly a "poetry pedestrian," walking his commanding and original style all over the album's tracks. On songs like "First in Flight," "Para- graph President" and "4000 Miles," Gab shows off his fluid lyricism and spits off metaphors at high speeds. See "Nowhere Fast" and "Purest Love," for rhymes that are not just poetic, but also thoughtful and convey a passion for life. On "Chemical Calisthen- ics," the MC alters his voice pitch and speed with a rhyme dedicat- ed to the periodic table, with tru-

ly rich wordplay: "C-O-H-O-2 wine water solution of calcium hydroxide/Slobbin it, C-A-0 lime

will make bleach powder/ Galvanic metal beats stomp out louder."

Gab's high-oc- tane deliv- ery is backed by brilliant and daring sound- scapes provided by Xcel

and a slew of outside producers and artists. One would think an eclectic list of collaborators that includes Saul Williams, ?uestlove, Ben Harper and DJ Shadow, among others, would make for a scattered sound. Instead Blazing Arrow comfortably flows in a con- tinuous stream of craftiness and musical mastery. This release, lim- itless and intelligent in every crevice of sound and every line of the lyrics, is what every art-sensi- tive listener could ever hope for— no matter how corporate the sponsor of it is.

NOT YOUR STANDARD ROUTINE Film festival celebrates modern jazz's greatest innovators by Jake Brooks

Thelonious Monk is a visual aes-

thete's dream. His right hand reck- lessly pecks at the keys like a wild chicken, yet with such precision and unsettling terseness. His left hand ambles be- tween triads, compli- menting his melody lines with either an uncomfort- able amount of disso- nance or a swinging bass line. His right foot shuffles back in forth propelled by a tacit rhythm only he can hear. At the piano, he is competent, com- manding and pow- erful. Away from it, he is a mumbling smile and a spinning fool. Thelo nious Monk: Straight, No Chaser — a docu- mentary featuring Monk in wide ar- ray of live perfor- mances — portrays the du- ality of Monk by juxtaposing a star- tling depiction of Monk's mental de- cline with his incon- gruent rise acclaim.

THE 2ND TIME IS ALWAYS LONGER Tornatore needs to learn that if it ain't broke, don't fix it by Leigh Wasserstrom

The recent re-release trend may appear to be an altruis-

tic gesture by filmmakers who offer audiences the opportunity to experience cinematic magic on the big screen all over again. But as I am reminded with each "Pick-A-Film: Redux," there is a

> CINEMA PARADISO: THE NEW VERSION directed by: Giuseppe Tornatore starring: Antonella Attili rated: R ••

fine line between altruism and self-indulgence.

Cinema Paradiso is the story of an accomplished film direc- tor, Salvatore, who returns to his small town in Sicily after almost 20 years away. Upon his arrival, he is flooded with boyhood memories and reminiscences over his formative experiences at the town's movie house. The plot is charming and the director oscillates between comedic mo-

ments and somber scenes with great acu- men. But where Cinema really succeeds is in its more subtle perspectives on the history of cinema as a social phenomenon. The film reminds the au-

dience that before there was ever tele- vision, children were raised, first loves were found and mob hits went down in the village movie theater. Cinema is as much an ode to

young love and passion as it is a celebration of the cine- matic medium itself.

However, the re-release of this 1989 academy award-wining film is perhaps a bit too gratuitous. Like Lucas, Coppola and Spiel- berg before him, director Giuseppe Tornatore adds close to an hour of extra footage in his second go round with Cinema, without ever significantly im- proving the quality of the film.

Rather, at 2 hours and 49 min- utes 1 found myself cursing Har- vey Weinstein and Tornatore for attempting to make a quick buck by adding footage that wasn't good enough to make the first cut of this great film. Perhaps, to- day's redux filmmakers and pro- ducers are less concerned with delighting audiences again as much as fulfilling their own "artistic'' whims.

Also, it was cool in Mr. Deeds when Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandier) was tricked into falling in love with that shop-lifter Winona Ryder when she hid that she was really a reporter and said she was a country girl from Winchestertonfieldville, Iowa and was now a school nurse. She made that up be- cause she wanted to tape him doing things since his great un- cle who just died was Mr. Blake of Blake Media and he inherit- ed 40 billion. He moved from Mandrake Falls, New Hamp- shire to New York when this

happened. I was on the edge of my seat when Winona, or the so-called "Pam Dawson," want- ed to tell him her true identity but she just couldn't. She was being all sneaky so she could tape him for the show but during it fell in love. It's hard to fall in love when you re pre- tending you're some- one you're not, you know?

public safety and cleanliness," according to Goldstein. "The history of University City has been resoundingly successful... now we're trying to help the ex- isting businesses in the area."

Scheman agrees that the UCD has been very influential in the improvement of Univer- sity City. She sees the Baltimore and Lancaster Avenues grant as "just one of the ways that the UCD is working and collaborat- ing with local groups to make the area better."

The collaboration would be one of a kind, as Goldstein be- lieves that the UCD plan differs from other commercial corri- dor revitalization arrange- ments.

"One distinction of this plan is that our effort is not focused on the public spaces right out of the gate," Goldstein said. "We will certainly look at improving the public space, but we feel that we need to work on identi- fying and improving the needs of the businesses first."

Final arrangements will be made when the managing groups are formed for the dis- tricts in early July. However, Goldstein says that the UCD will play a major role in the sur- veying of the local commercial venues. Once surveyed, the UCD will help interpret the in- formation and provide aid to the local merchants to better their businesses and attract more customers to the area.

"If we succeed, Baltimore and Lancaster avenues will become more desirable areas of Uni- versity City," Goldstein added.

Mark Eyerly, the Chief of Staff at The William Penn Founda- tion, sees the possibilities of the area as one of the biggest ben- efits of the UCD plan.

"As one of our key funding ini- tiatives, we work to improve the environment and community in areas of Philadelphia which have strong opportunities," Ey- erly said. "We think [the Balti- more and Lancaster Avenues plan] is a very strong program, with a lot of possibilities."

Nevertheless, Carnaroli did note that the University's oper- ating activities had declined.

"The operating activities were slightly below, primarily due to a decline in short term income, as short term investments have de- clined," Carnaroli said.

Penn's Health System, on the other hand, reported an operat- ing income of $17.6 million, com- pared to a budgeted $15.1 million.

"This was a result of an in- crease of volume in patient ad- mission in all hospitals," Carnaroli said.

The Trustees also approved of the preliminary capital and operating budgets for the Uni- versity and Health System for

tial proposals take into consid- eration the various challenges that the University and Health System will be facing over the next year.

"The equity market is not re- warding our endowment with big increases, and this has implica- tions for us in terms of invest- ment income," Reipe said. "And the health care environment con- tinues to be a very difficult one both nationally and locally."

Nevertheless, Reipe said that administrators have taken these concerns into consideration in their initial drafts of the budgets.

"The administration proposed a very tight set of budgets which recognize the different environ- ment we're going to be in, so we're very pleased in that re- spect," Reipe said.

Under Rubenstein's guidance, Medical School faculty, staff and students have been developing a series of initiatives geared to- ward the Health System's acad- emic and financial improvements. Additionally, they have been in the process of es- tablishing a set of guidelines for Penn Medicine—the Health Sys- tem's governing body.

"Everybody was very positive and feels like they're going on the right track which is humbling given the current environment for academic medical centers," Reipe said.

Moreover, the trustees apj

proved the final draft of the Uni- versity's new strategic plan, which has been under discussion for the past semester.

Based around the 1995 Agenda for Excellence, this new series of initiatives focuses on the de- velopment of new research ini-, tiatives, recruiting a world-class faculty and expanding the Penn campus eastwards.

"In effect what we did was en- dorse the substance of the last version [of the plan], which was released to the University com- munity during the spring," Reipe said.

Other resolutions voted upon on Friday included the appoint- ment of Lori Doyle as Vice Pres- ident for University Communications. Doyle has worked as Director of Commu- nications since February, 2001.

In addition, the Board passed resolutions of appreciation of Ex- ecutive Vice President John Fry and Vice President for Develop- ment Virginia Clark, both of whom will be vacating their posts at the University over the course of the summer.

"We will very much miss both of them," Reipe said. "They've made significant contributions to the University over an extended period of time."

Approximately 57 of the 80 trustees attended the meetings, which were held at the Union League in downtown Philadelphia.

The trustees meet in the win- ter, spring and fall of each year. Their next meeting is scheduled for the last weekend in October.

By Mary Clarke-Pearson The Summer Pennsylvaiiian

The United States Attorney's office released an indictment ast week that charged eight

people with committing mail fraud and bank fraud at Temple University.

Between March of 1996 and February of 1998, the defen- dants allegedly duped Temple iut of over $76,000 by writing uition checks drawn on closed iccounts or accounts with in iiifficient funds. Afterwards, they allegedly

fought and obtained tuition re iinds from Temple before the iniversity discovered that hese checks were fraudulent. "Basically what happened

apply for a refund before the check returned," Temple Cam-

-pus Safety Services Managing Director Carl Bittenbender said.

According to the indictment, the defendants successfully pulled similar scams at the De- Vry Institute of Technology in Georgia an d the University of Maryland.

In each of these incidents, they allegedly enrolled at the institutions as themselves or used false names and Social Security numbers.

Grady McCrary, the alleged ringleader of this scheme, will face a maximum sentence of 365 years of imprisonment and a $15,250,000 fine if convicted. On Tuesday, McCrary was placed under electronic house arrest at his mother's home in Georgia.

In addition to being charged for mail fraud, bank fraud and using false social security numbers, McCrary has also

been accused of fraudulently obtaining $22,775 in federally funded student loans and grants at Temple and the Uni- versity of Maryland.

The sentences for the other seven defendants range from 115 to 165 years of imprison- ment and fines of up to $7,250,000.

"The maximum sentences for each defendant are substan- tial!" Eastern District for Penn- sylvania US Attorney's Office spokesman Rich Manieri said.

Signs of the scam surfaced at Temple in 1998, when uni- versity administrators realized that a student had paid for the same course three years in a row.

After this incident was brought to the attention of the Philadelphia Police, further in- vestigations proceeded which

ultimately revealed other oc- currences of students enrolling and overpaying for courses. The Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation, the United States De- partment of Education and the Social Security Administration were also involved in uncover- ing the scam.

Currently, four of the defen- dants have been released from custody after posting bail.

Carlton McCrary, a fifth sus- pect, was already in custody for drug charges in Delaware when the indictment was released on Friday.

The police have yet to find the remaining two suspects.

According to Manieri, no tri- al dates have been scheduled.

In order to prevent future oc- currences of mail and bank fraud, Temple administrators have implemented a new policy which gives the university fif- teen days to verify student payments.

Previously, the university re-

funded students who had over- paid their tuition within seven business days.

"This had been the policy be- cause many of our students... are financially challenged by going to college," Temple Uni- versity Communications Di- rector Harriet Goodheart said. "When there was an instance that the university needed to issue a refund, we always did it with the idea of meeting our students' needs."

Nevertheless, in spite of the university's need to adopt this fifteen day grace period for checks, Goodheart noted that this safeguard will put some students to a disadvantage.

"It's most unfortunate for Temple students who will now have to face a somewhat more restrictive policy that has been put into place to protect every- body's best interest," Good- heart said.

While the news of the scam surprised some administrators

at Penn, the University's refund policy already requires a fif- teen-day waiting period before giving refunds on checks.

"We were very concerned," Associate Vice President of Fi- nance Frank Claus said. "When I saw the articles I reviewed our policies immediately — I had to make sure of the fact we weren't vulnerable."

Moreover, Claus said that the bases of the administrative sys- tems at Penn and Temple are very different.

"You don't just walk into Penn and register — there's an ad- missions process that's pretty intense, so we know who we're working with," Claus said.

Nevertheless, Claus said that there is no fail-proof method of preventing scams, no matter what policies are in place.

"There are a lot of smart criminals out there and we al- ways try to be one step ahead of them, but you never know," Claus said.

Ivy football recruits to decline The Ivy Presidents made several resolutions about athletic policy at their May 17 meeting.

By Amy Potter The Summer Pennsylvania!)

After much anticipation, the Council of Ivy Group Presidents made reached several decisions regarding Ivy athletic policies at their meeting last week.

Upon recommendations from the eight Ivy League athletic di- rectors, the Council issued three principle actions on June 17, the most crucial of which has to do with football recruitment.

The Council has decreed that the number of football recruits made each year drop. In the past, Ivy League teams were permitted to recruit 35 players per year, with the restriction that no team can exceed 140 players in four years.

Effective with the class of 2007, however, the number of re- cruits who may enroll at an Ivy school in a four year period will drop to 120, averaging out to 30 per year.

"The football action really has to do largely with squad size," University President Judith Rodin said. "The idea that there needs to be 35 recruited athletes

a year to maintain our football program is something that the athletic directors and policy di- rectors labored at over a year... the recruitment of athletes needs to go down by five."

Rodin also stressed that the decision to downsize Ivy foot- ball rosters has nothing to do with Title IX — an act which makes it illegal for educational institutions to discriminate in athletics based on gender — or the recent debates over the pro- vision.

Another action which will be put into effect this fall will re- quire each sport to set aside at least seven weeks during the academic year in which its ath- letes will have no required ath- letic activity. It also states that voluntary activity with coaching supervision, common in many sports, will also not be allowed.

This action, according to Rodin, comes in lieu of the Council's concern over the time commitment involved in Ivy League athletics.

"This focuses on the issue of time commitment," Rodin said. "It's about whether in the off-

season, for those sports that have off-season, that there couldn't be a little more time off for the students to focus on their academic work fully

"This said there needs to be seven weeks of time off," she added. "This includes exams, reading week, et cetera."

These new "no-activity" pro- visions add to past Ivy League regulations. Teams are already prohibited from competition during examination periods and are also confined to significant- ly fewer off-season practice ses- sions than other Division I institutions.

Included in the Council's min- utes was a statement from Council Chair and Cornell Pres- ident Hunter Rawlings.

"The Council's actions will continue the Ivy League tradi- tion of strong athletic competi- tion which is, in the words of the original 1954 Ivy Agreement, "kept in harmony with the es- sential purposes of [each Ivy League] institution," Rawlings said on June 20.

The third regulation, which will also take effect in the fall of 2003, limits the number of foot- ball coaches. Currently, each Ivy school is allowed six full-time and six part-time coaches. How-

ever, a year from now, each squad will be allowed seven full- time and only three part-time coaches.

In the making this resolution, the Council stated that it will "undertake further data collec- tion and analysis," leaving the door open for more changes in the future.

This discussion was spurred in large part by the 2001 release of James Shulman and former Princeton President William Bowen's book, entitled The Game of Life. The book has stimulated debate across the na- tion by using empirical datae to highlight the relationship be- tween athletics and admis- sions.

Bowen and Shulman s book notes that student-athletes who participate in high-profile sports — such as football — tend to not perform as well academically as their non-athletic counterparts.

"We have discussed not only data from The Game of Life, but there are new datae in a book forthcoming that we contributed Ivy data to.

"The [upcoming] book is by Bowen and his colleagues again and it looks further at this issue and compares over time re- cruited and non-recruited ath-

letes within the same sport," Rodin said.

Rodin also added that the book addresses the question of time commitment in sports.

Rodin stressed the complexi- ty of this issue by explaining that the Council does not intend to eliminate varsity sports in the Ivy League. The debate comes down to a question of balance between athletics and acade- mics.

"We want to make sure that we field really competitive teams, because we care about athletics and that we think it is

an important tradition," Rodin said.

"The tension is some Presi- dents are saying 'do we want to win an NCAA Championship?' Or, 'do we want teams that com- pete against one another to suc- ceed in this sphere?

"And the question is, what is the cost of that goal? That is why we are still really struggling with it."

Penn head football coach Al Bagnoli and Penn Athletic Di- rector Steve Bilsky were un- available for comment yesterday.

LANCE STIER

Settlement finally

reached ^^^ Last week, the eight *A\ j^^ Ivy League presidents sat ^^^^^ down for a long anticipated W ^^& meeting !• ^^ (,vt>r the course of

J) two days, the leaders of the 1A Ivy League flooded the ^^ venue with talk of sports.

^*m It was talk of re I form, of change, in the near- I ly 50-year-old conference.

At the request of the Ivy Presidents, a nearly year-long investigation into the policies and procedures of the Ivy League by the conference athletic directors wrapped up last month.

Recommendations from statistic-heavy work The Game of Life—the 2001 text that all-but-im- plores the Ivy League to refocus itself on its "core mission" and may just have initiated this whole move to reform — were also in hand.

From the perspective of the Ivy presidents of this data collection focused on one target: the Ivy League 1979 mission statement and its reinterpretation by the current League lead- ers.

"Intercollegiate athletics ought to be main- tained within a perspective," the League state- ment reads, "that holds paramount the academic programs of the institution and the academic and personal growth of the student athlete."

With the rise of intercollegiate athletics in re- cent decades since the writing of the statement, the Council's charge amounted to answering two principle—but, contrasting questions.

"Does the Ivy League want to win an NCAA Championship?," Rodin asked. "Or [does the Ivy League] want teams to compete against one another for success in this sphere?"

When the veil was finally lifted, the Presi- dents' answers to these two questions were any- thing but conclusive.

In the statement released after the June 17- 18 meeting, there is undeniably an academic spin to the result of the presidents' delibera- tions. In fact the Council made sure to add in the clause that allowed for "fewer practice sessions than were permitted by all other Division I in- stitutions."

But, in addition to the practice changes, hav- ing five fewer players on the football roster(down from 140 over for years to 120), and a reduction in the number of football coaches (six full-time and sue part-time to seven full-time and three part-time) are anything but earth-shattering— albeit path-defining — moves.

So consider the issue far from settled, for now, as the Presidents do.

Brazil will face off Germany Finals

la* . The 2002 WoHd CUP

Fans of the Brazilian national soccer team celebrate Brazil's victory over Turkey in a semHInal World Cup match played on June 26,2002 in Sartama Stadium in Sattama Japan. Brazil won 1-0 and w* play Germany in the final match on June 30.

All reports are from the Associated Press

BRAZIL vs. GERMANY: THE MATCHUP

HISTORY: With the win over Turkey, Brazil has qualified for the World Cup fi- nal seven times, matching the record held by Germany for one day. Germany reached the final for the seventh time when it beat South Korea on Tuesday. Brazil and Germany have never faced each other in World Cup play.

STAR: Ronaldo, Brazil. With his goal against Turkey in Wednesday's semifi- nal, Ronaldo moved into a tie for sixth place on the career World Cup scoring list with 10 goals.

LOOK AHEAD: The World Cup takes a I. couple days off before preparing for ItsI finale. On Saturday, Turkey takes on South Korea in the third place game in Daegu, South Korea. On Sunday, the two-year World Cup odyssey comes to an end as four-time champion Brazil faces three-time champion Germany in the fi- nal

QUOTABLE: "The nightmare is over. And now is just the time to enjoy and develop this happiness." —Ronaldo, after his goal sent Brazil, a team which barely qualified for the World Cup, into the final.

On Sunday the World Cup soccer champions will be decided when Brazil and Germany meet in the finals.

By Ronald Blum The Associated Press

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) — It's the missing matchup, the game soccer has waited 50 years to see.

Brazil and Germany, the sport's most dominant nations, have never met in the World Cup — until now.

And what a place for their first meeting — in the final, for the tro- phy, with all the world watching.

"It will be a dream matchup," Brazil's Roberto Carlos said after his team beat Turkey 1-0 Wednes- day to move into its third straight fi- nal. A night earlier, Germany defeated South Korea by the same score in Seoul.

Brazil has won four of the last 12 World Cup titles and Germany three. Their players are among the most prized in the world.

But, strangely, they've avoided each other in soccer's showcase.

No Pele vs. Sepp Maier. No Franz Beckenbauer vs. Gylmar.

"Both teams have a great tradi- tion," Brazilian forward Rivaldo said. "If Brazil wants to be cham- pions, we have to respect Germany. Not fear them, respect them."

It's an unlikely time for the de- but meeting, given that both nations struggled in qualifying and were considered by some long shots to even reach the quarterfinals.

Brazil was just 9-6-3 in qualifying — unheard of mediocrity in the land of samba soccer — getting in only with a victory over lowly Venezuela in its final game. Germany needed to beat Ukraine in a playoff to make it.

"Nobody really expected us to even go to the round of 16," Ger- many coach Rudi Voeller said.

Brazil, won the title in 1958,1962, 1970 and 1994, praised much of the time for its flair-filled attacks. West

Germany captured the champi- onship in 1954,1974 and 1990, some- times denigrated for its lack of imagination — and ability to flop in front of officials to gain unwarrant- ed penalty kicks and restarts.

There's little doubt which style most fans prefer. At its best, Brazil- ian soccer is a painter's palette. At its worst, German soccer is a wrecking ball, shattering opponents with brute strength and bland-but- effective relentlessness.

"Despite the criticisms that were leveled at us because of the lack of style, lack of flair, in actual fact we implemented the coach's instruc- tions," Germany's Michael Ballack said after the semifinal win.

Ballack, who scored the only goals in the quarterfinal against the United States and in the semifinal, will miss Sunday's game while serv- ing a suspension for getting two yel- low cards. Brazil seems surpremely confident going in.

"It will be a match between the most attacking team and the most defensive team, who has only given

away one goal," Roberto Carlos said. "The game will focus on the defensive tactics."

In the past decade, the nations have met five times, with Brazil go- ing 3-1-1. The Brazilians won 3-1 at home in a 1992, tied 3-3 at Wash- ington's RFK Stadium the follow- ing year, and Germany won 2-1 at home in 1993.

Brazil won 2-1 in a 1998 game in Germany, then routed an under- strength German team 4-0 at Mex- ico in the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup, with Ronaldinho scoring on a penalty kick. The midfielder returns for the final after serving a one- game suspension.

In the 1993 game in Washington, Germany fell behind by three goals for the first time in eight years, then rallied in 93-degree heat as Juer- gen Klinsmann scored twice.

Overall, Brazil leads the series 10-3-4, outscoring the Germans 31- 18. On neutral soil, Brazil is 2-0-1.

"The final against Germany will be relatively easy for them," Turkey coach Senol Gunes said.
