Another siudent who was interviewed
falsely identified himself as Greene.
The incident was brought to our attention and was subsequently reporled
to Public Safety where it is currently
being investigated.
The Lafeyette strives to be fair and accurate. Such an incident undermines
that mission and attempts to tarnish the
reputation of those falsely represented.
Fortunately, such an occurrence is extremely rare. However, unfortunately,
we do not know eveiy student on campus and cannot always prevent it; but
we will do our best. Future incidents

What constitutes an abusive relationship?
Opinion
BY S A R A H Y A T E S
M
y
predecessor
Jeff
Weinstein '02 invented
the m o t t o " n o t my p r o b l e m "
last spring when he was getting
r e a d y to t u r n the n e w s p a p e r
over to me. Anytime I asked him
a question or a p r o b l e m arose,
he would kindly remind me that
1 was the Editor in Chief now
and that whatever needed to be
dealt with was well, not his problem a n y m o r e . N o m o r e toner
in the printer? N o t his p r o b l e m . A s t u d e n t furious with
coverage? Not his p r o b l e m . In
all fairness, he did not leave me
stranded; he did help me oul.
So, when I first sat down to
write this editorial g o o d b y e I
was t e m p t e d lo just print a big
"not my p r o b l e m " on the page.
I'm talking big. 98-point, bold,
u n d e r l i n e d , laking up a whole
half of a page big.
N o w let me clear s o m e t h i n g
up right off the b a t . I d o n ' t
consider the n e w s p a p e r a
" p r o b l e m " or a b u r d e n . H o w ever, to an extent this p h r a s e
e n c a p s u l a t e s h o w I ' m feeling
right now. I'll be honest; this
j o b has been really t o u g h , a n d
I'm tired. For those of you who
have seen me staggering back
lo my house T h u r s d a y m o r n ings in the same clothes I was
wearing Wednesday, I was not
doing the walk of s h a m e . I was
walking h o m e having been up
on deadline all night.
T h o u g h I'm excited that after this week I will be able to
sleep on Wednesdays, I'm sad
as well because I ' m leaving a
huge chunk of my college experience behind and some really incredible people. I'm lucky
t h o u g h b e c a u s e I feel g r e a t
about my successor, Lisa Longo
'04, a n d her journalistic integrity. T h i s j o b has been one of
the best things I've d o n e for
myself. I've l e a r n e d lessons
that I will take wilh me, and I've
had to ask some h a r d questions
and make some lough decisions
that I'm proud of. More importantly though, I am leaving this
office with c o n f i d e n c e a n d a
mindset that I can do almost anything and as I've seen this year,
things do work themselves out in
the end. I hope Lisa also walks
away feeling this way next May.
It's been said in the past by
olher editors upon their leaving, but it can't go without men-
If they're going out with

lion. T h e people in this office
are w h a t make the n e w s p a p e r
experience w h a l it is. To them
I will forever be grateful b e cause n o l only w o u l d we n o t
have a newspaper without them
a n d their d e d i c a t i o n , but also
because they have m a d e me
smile a n d laugh t h r o u g h o u t the
process. A n d when there were
weeks that I d i d n ' t feel we put
out a particularly strong issue,
I knew that al least that b o n d
was t h e r e , and isn't that w h a t
really matters? It's not the stories that I will r e m e m b e r five
y e a r s f r o m now, or even 20
years from now. But rather, it's
the people. All of t h e m .
They may not know it, but I've
learned far m o r e from this staff
than they have from m e . Above
all, they've taught m e that life
isn't as serious as we sometimes
make it out to be a n d that it's
okay to laugh even when y o u ' r e
t i r e d , t h i n k y o u ' r e a b o u t to
flunk out of all your classes, and
waiting for that one last source
to call back who will either make
or break your story.
And so it is with that thought
in mind that I leave this office—
with the vision o f t h e news editor doing an ostrich impression
at four in the m o r n i n g on deadline, with the voice o f t h e sports
editor i m p e r s o n a t i n g a vicious
kitten wilh claws in my h e a d ,
a n d with the feeling of icing in
my hair after a staff cake fight.
Oh, and I guess I am leaving with
another thought resounding in my

statistic was removed because
of campus recruitment and the
tours around campus last week,
including Junior Visiting Day.
"They [Adminislration] don't
want t h a t stuff s e e n , " said
Rubenfeld.
ALW
member
Jessica
Jamhoury '03 said, "Il's understandable to me [why the administration would nol want people
to see such statements]."
However, Jamhoury said if
people really thought about it,
they would see the issue being
addressed as a positive thing
and that il was not being tolerated.
Direcior of Admissions Carol
Rowlands said she did nol know
why the message was removed.
Furthermore, Rowlands said she
would not be concerned wilh
the message that such a statistic would send. "I think discussions on all issues are good,"
said Rowlands, because it allows
prospective studenis and their
parents lo see whal the issues
on campus are.
Il is unknown who removed
the statistic. Director of Physical Planning and Plant Operations Bruce Ferretti said he was
not aware lhal il had been removed. He said students have
wrillen messages on sidewalks
for years and lhal as far as he
knows il is permitted.
Rubenfeld said ALW has not
contacted any administrators
regarding the incident yet but
is planning to write a letler and
talk lo some of the college's
deans.
According to Rubenfeld, a
Delta Kappa Epsilon brother
also a p p r o a c h e d the g r o u p
when they wrote on a sidewalk
outside the house, because a
sexual assault had occurred
there. She said the studeni was
concerned about it being detrimental to the school's reputation.
In a d d i t i o n , p e o p l e in
McKeen Hall were upset when
one was placed outside the
building.
Rubenfeld said this reaction
goes along with society's culture
in general. "We don't want to
show our own faults," she said,
"and I think that's a major flaw."
Rubenfeld said the point of
the demonstration was not lo
pin point specific individuals,
but rather to increase awareness of the issue. ALW wants
women lo feel safe speaking oul,
she said.
Rubenfeld said sexual assaults are "unbelievably underreported."

Director of Health Services and College PhysicianJeffiey Goldstein said he
has nol seen many cases of abusive
relationships during his firsl year al
Lafayelte bul does believe il happens
on campus. "They just aren't coming
in for those injuries," he said.
Goldstein said, "The encounters I've
come across over the year have been
women waking up in the moming wondering if she's had a nonconsensual
sexual experience."
"I'm not under obligation to report
[suspected cases]. Ifi was 100 percent
sure that a crime was committed I would
be [required too]," said Goldstein.
"It hapf)ens a thousand times more
than is reported, but no one wants to
talk about il," saidjaclyn Sekula '03. "I
think women recognize it's a problem
and just don't want to say anything."
"I know they [abusive relationshijDs]
exist, but I don't think there's a widespread problem," said Kimberiy Eiioch
'04, vdio said she knew someone in an
abusive relationship.
Sekula blames Greek life for contributing to harmfiil gender roles and abusive relationships. "The interactions
between Greek houses represent a
breeding ground lo support abuse," she
said. "If one jierson is accused, the
whole house is on the defensive."
On the olher hand, many studenis
think a person's membership in a Greek
house has no connection to behavior
in a relationship. 'It's based on the person, not the organization," said Cole
Sampson '06.
Delta Gamma Sorority has raised the
issue of abusive relationships during
some of its meetings because of national programming, said Delta Gamma
President Ellen Tarves '05. ' 1 haven't

say alcohol is the cause, but I would say
il increases the likelihood that someone will acl on their anger," said Forbes.
However, she said, "In terms of sexual
assault, [alcohol] is implicated in mosl
incidents."
'Alcohol is the drug more responsible for dale rape [as compared to an
illicit drug]," said Goldstein.
"I think people can gel away with

Fiioch, as she believes people assume

"Unless we leach you p e a c e ,

"We d o n ' t teach you the alternative to violence. We all g r a d u ate from high school as p e a c e illiterates."

report the demonstration to Public
Safety.
"It was a very inappropriate
thing to do at lhal lime," said Josie
Dykstra '05. She encountered the
students performing a scene with
the replica genitalia, which she said
she found lo be very obscene.
Dykstra said she confronted the
group but they did not appear as if
they wanted to be confronted and
they walked away. Dykstra, who
helped plan Junior Visiting Day, said
she then called Public Safety to report the event.
"We were aware that it was Junior Visiting Day," said El-Darwish.
"We did have one studeni come up
[yelling profanities] at us, saying it
wasn't right to do it on Junior Visiting Day."
"1 didn'i know they [the students] were planning on doing it on
Junior Visiting Day, but I applaud
it," said Westfall. "Maybe it will attract students other than the conformists that we get."
Harris said a public safety officer
did approach the students, but the
demonstration was already over

a student," said Harris. "The officer met with two students, talked
with them briefly, but they had al-

ready disassembled."
Harris acknowledged that the
state of Pennsylvania does have obscenity laws, but said he was not
aware of them.
"I have not had a chance to speak
with students or faculty," said
Worthen. "It's too soon to tell
[what actions may be taken]. It will
probably fall under a violation ofa
code of conduct."
"We thought people might be angry," said El-Darwish. "But we
thought it was a positive thing that
shows we're a college that allows
people to express themselves."
Westfall said each demonstration
her students are required to do is
up lo the discretion of the group.
"All the students have lo do a 'happening'," said Westfall. "The purpose is to creale an audience. T h e
only requirement is that it is something [the students] feel passionately about."
"When it started out, we wanted
to show apathy at Lafayette," said
El-Darwish. "Then we decided lo
integrate corporate America with
things like advertisements and
cheap products lhal are mass produced."
El-Darwish and Brian Quigley
'03 constructed the genitalia replica for their respective "happen-
ing" assignment."We tried to compose the group [of students walking around] to reflect every stereotype from society," said El-Darwish.
"We had minorities, women, and
men. We started in the middle of
the quad, then went to Oechsle,
Markle, Kirby, Pardee, and finally
Farinon."
T h e demonstration was acted
out to mimic society and Lafayette's
"screwing over of individuals [in
many different ways]," said ElDarwish. During the demonstration, the replica was used as a prop
to illustrate the students' point, said
El-Darwish.
"People wanted to creale a stir,
so that they would ask questions,"
said Farisai Maguwah '03, a student
in the class who did not take part in
the demonstration. "The 'happenings' seek your audience and make
them react in some sort of way."
" T h e reactions have been diverse," said Westfall. "But why are
some other things on campus not
offensive? There are signs around
campus for the Chorduroys saying
'Ribbed for your Pleasure' and an
advertisement for the McKelvy
speeches wilh a naked woman holding the globe. My students have
done a fabulous job, and I'm very
proud of them."

ive months after a football
victory over Lehigh in the
ISS'"" m e e t i n g , three Lafayette
students initialed a small
fundraising campaign to pay the
fines assigned to them for tearing
down the goal posts after the
game.
Dan Bowen ' 0 3 , Matt Parrott
'03, and Matt Tambellini '03 were
notified of the $182.64 per person fine the first week of the
spring semester, said D e a n of
Students J a m e s Krivoski.

C e n i e r asking students to contribute m o n e y toward the fines
that were due yesterday. Bowen
said that in addition to paying
the fine that will be used lo repair the goalposts, each student
was placed on secondary p r o bation.
Parrott said he undersiands the
three broke a rule, but thinks it is
inappropriate for the school to
single out three people from a
large g r o u p . H e said Krivoski
informed the three students
they were the only individuals
h a n g i n g on the goal posts that
were fined because others were
identified as alumni.
T h e students were identified
through videotapes and pictures p r o v i d e d by the E a s t o n

Krivoski.

Pull up a chair: the best outside dining around town
BY J E N GSELL
N
ow that the winter weather is
finally behind us, it seems as
though mosl students want to spend
as much time outdoors as possible.
There are a number of outdoor eateries around town that offer patio
dining and a taste of the warm sunshine jusl in time for spring.
One casujil option for outdoor eating is Sammy's Drive-In, located
across the street from the Phillipsburg
Mall. T his is a 1950's style drive-thru
"burger joint," that scives up up all
kinds of greasy foods and is conveniently equijjped with outdoor picnic tables. Sammy's also attracts
many local visitors as a result of the
urban legend that claims that the restaurant is haunted; employees have
reported hearing strange noises, and
PHOTCXS BY M A T I J O H N S T O N
Sammy's Drive-In (upper right) offers casual dining. The menu includes burgers, french fries, and
milkshakes for a reasonable price. Pearly Baker's (bottom left) is an upscale resturant serving both
lunch and dinner. Both establishments have patio seating for patrons to enjoy the warmer weather
Attention Graduating Students
Did you know that you can reduce
the interest rate on your student
loansi and save tbousands of
dollars by consolidating your
student ioan.s after graduation?
The Higher Education Act,
established by Congress, allows any
graduate (or parent with PLUS loans)
to consolidate their student loans by
combining all their eligible student
loans into a .single foan issued by a
new lender. Ciraduates who do this
immediately alter graduation (while
they arc still in their non-rejMyment
period) are able lo reduce the interest
rate on ail their eligible loans by
0.60% - potentially saving themselves
thousands ot" dollars.
There are several other benefits
ass<K'iated with
Siudent
lx)an
Consolidation and these include:
• The ability lo reduce yt»ur monthly
interest repayments by up to .54% by
extending your repayment period.
This may help you in matching your
income level to your repayment
obligations.
• Fixing the interest rate on your
loans to take advantage of the
historically low interest rates that are
currenlly available for the life ol" your
K»ans. Your existing lt>ans are variable
and could rise over time as interest
rales rise. (Consolidation ean ensure
that this doesn't happen.
• fX'aling wilh only one monthly
k»an repayment from one lender can
make your life easier.
• Save even
more on your
repayments by taking advantage of
"borrower benefits' that can reduce
your interest rate by up to an
additional \.25% by making electmnic
and on-time iv|)aymcnts.

These Crows wDl be ^hai^^ing aroimd* for years to come

t is funny how a few regular guys
who came together in Berkeley,
California could become this big
and this well-known. The guys have
"it" - and "it" has undeniably
worked so well that the Counting
Crows have been making music for
ten years.
The Counting Crows, who performed Wednesday night at the
Kirby Field House, "met in the bay
area and [all the current members]
were in different bands," said Dan
Vickrey, guitarist for the group.
Vickrey, who affectionately calls his
fellow band members "all crazy,"
began playing music in the sixth
grade when he joined a neighborhood band. H e met the rest ofthe
Crows — lead singer and songwriter
Adam Duritz, keyboardist Charles
Gillingham, drummer Ben Mize, bassist Matt Malley, and guitarists David
Immergluck and David Byron — on
the San Francisco music scene, w^en
"Matt [Malley] andDave [Immei^uck]
played together," said Vickrey
Vickrey admits that since the group
travels so much, the opportunity for
tension is there - but said 'Svefindways
to work it out, and it's hard for any band
to achieve [not having tension in the
band]," he said. The Counting Crows
get along well, he said, by "giving eeich
other space," and because the guys
know each other very well. The group,
whose Lafayette debut was the last college concert on their circuit, will begin
their world tour next month.
"We travel somewhere around 285
out of 365 days a year on buses," said
Vickrey. "We definitely spend a lot of
time together. Eventually, you miss what
you haven't got."
Althou^ Vickery said he thinks that
touiing and recording are extremely
different, he said the group loves being
able to perform in front ofa live audience. "It's always fun to do shows," he
said. The group especially likes college
shows because they are "a little more
energetic," he said, and because many
students can relate to many of their
songs.
As to wdiether the Counting Crows
will continue playing together, Vickrey
has no doubts. "I have a special relationship with these people after ten
years," said Vickrey. "We have a long
life span. I'm grateful to have [the band
members] in my life and that I was able
to meet them. We'll hopefully be doing
this for ten more years."
T h e group earned critical acclaim in 1990 with their debut album August and Every thing After which
landed them on the Billboard
charts. They followed with such
hits as "Hangin' Around" and "Mr.
Jones," and most recently released
Hard Candy in 2002.

Mission: find a spring outfit under $100
• H e said: Oki Navy, Aetopostale have best finds
Tyler chooses an outftt from
H&M, complete with board
shorts and sandals.
BY T Y L E R C O H N
O
ur mission seemed simple
enough: I was given a hypothetical 8100 with which to
scour the local mall for some
.swinging spring outfits for men
and women. I learned that even
the affectionately-known "P-Burg
Mall" has some fashion steals and students do not have to go
far to find some great spring
clothes.
O u r first stop was Aeropostale,
which had some cool stuff for
men. I am a big fan of their whole
"buy the pants, get the belt with
them" scheme; it is really convenient for the fashion-handicapped
like me. For spring, they have
men's shorts of all colors and
plenty of snappy, light, shortsleeved, button-down numbers
for decent prices.
O u r next stop was the Swedish-import H & M . I had never
been to one of these stores, and
soon learned that H&M stands for
"high-crotched"
and
"mislabeled," as this was the nature of their products.
The first outfit I chose was a pair
ofkliaJd pants and a t-shirt ITie pants
were nothing spectacular, priced at
$15. I did like the blue shirt for $15
that I was advised by my shopping
partner lo wear with it. lliere was
another shirt that went with the pants,
a tan one with a neckline that appar-
endyaxild not make up its mind. This
number was not one of my favorites,
and was priced as well at a fair $ 15.
lliough unsatisfied with the chic
H&M, I decided to spice things up by
assembling a beach-going outfit. I selected a fisherman's cap priced at
$6.50, audiaitic H&M sun^asses for
a mere S5.50, a white t-shirt, relegated
to the sale rack, at S5.00, beach sandals for $5.50, and the loudest, most
colorfiil board shorts I could find, an
absolute steal at $9.00.
Tlie ladies will no doubt have more
luck at H&M. I would advise the guys
to stay away — though shocJkingly
cheap, a store with a women's underwear section tliat is practically as extensive as all ofthe menswear is not a
good choice for males.
We then fell into Gap, which is
murJi more my sj^eed. For my style
tastes, die selection was not particulariy good, howevei; and it ended up
being the priciest stop on our whirlwind tour. A short-sleeve buttondown blue shirt for $36 and cargo
pants for $19,95 that looked like they
had escaped fi-om the Abercrombie
&Fitch "baggy, pre-tattered and tom
for your pleasure" line of lower bodywear were all that peaked my interest.
However, Gap has a good spring selection for those men -who like the
preppy look, with a number
of cargo shorts and buttondown shirts available.
We moved along to the
Gap's spri^tly younger sibling. Old Navy, where I
learned that painters have
their own specific cut of
jeans. The outfit I put together at Old Navy was
probably the best one I
found all day: a short-sleeve,
button-down orange shirt
was $19.00, and the aforementioned painter's jeans
were $34,50.
N o n e of the outfits
that I selected to buy with
my hypothetical cash
were even close to exceeding my $ 100 limit. It
seems as though almost
all of the stores had a
large selection on men's
summer wear. However,
had the money been real,
I woidd have purchased
o n e of the c o m b i n a tions and then ordered
a pizza a n d r e n t e d a
m o v i e from Blockbuster. It j u s t goes to
show that you can have
your board shorts and
eat them too.. .or something like that.

BYJESSICA ZAFONTE
L
adies, you need not fear that our
I isolated hill shelters us from what
is current in the world of fashion. Just
minutes away in the Hiillipsburg Mall,
the newest styles for spring can easily
be found at affordable prices. My mission was to get the most fashion bang
for my hypothetical one hundred bucks
and to create a trendy, comfortable, and
practical outfit for the warm months
ahead.
This spring has brought an array of
new styles as well as some rejjeats from
previous seasons. The feminine look
offloralpatterns and ruffles are all over
the place. The girly shade of pink is the
biggest color now, but avoid icy or pale
hues, the bright sun calls for waimer
shades. White is another fashionable
color choice and is very versatile. Ethnic patterns have dominated stores,
magazines, and runways for spring.
The Phillipsburg Mall offered a number of trendy stores for shopping. I was
successful in finding a pair of shorts in
American Ea^e for $34.50. In a khaki
color with cargo pockets, they were
comfortable and could go with an array of tops. The store also carried an
abundance ofbathing suits, mostly with
halter or bandeau tops; more one pieces
were to be found than in previous years.
and the boy-short bottom is making a
comeback Bottoms and tops sold separately for a more accurate fit with bottoms consistently priced at $24.50 while
tops ranged from $24.50 to $28.50.
I continued my search for the perfect $100 spring outfit with one ofthe
season's true minis. In H&M, I came
across a crocheted green mini skirt and
a denim mini skirt, each for $ 19 and
leaving very little leg to the imagination. To play down the showiness of
the skirt, I paired these selections with
longer and looser fitting top)s in solid
colors. I urge those females looking for
current and trendy pieces to check out
H&M, as the prices are inexpensive. I
found a tank top with a great ethnic
piint and a deep v-neck for only $3.50.
Capris will be seen yet again this season as an alternative fo shorts and skirts.
A pair with multi-colored vertical
stripes, like the pair I found in H&M for
$25, is a beneficial addition to your
wardrobe that creates the illusion of
length and thinness, as well as providing a palette of color for you to match
to the rest of your accessories.
If all this mention of wiiat is in style
versus wiiat is out makes you want to
stay in your pajamas all day, let me reassure you with one word: denim. Recentiy seen even in bathing suits and
shoes, denim is a comfortable and durable trend that can be wom
over and over. I loved a $29
denim jacket from H&M,
which can be dressed up or
dowTi, and will take you
through the summer and into
die fall.
Dressing up in the summer
is easier and breezier than in
the colder months—no need
for stockings or to cover up
your gorgeous sundress with
a coat. Gap boasted adorable dresses in black and
white, made in crisp cotton;
the white dress had tiny eyelets around the neckline. I
tried on the tube top dress in
black, and despite my notquite-up-to-par tan, the look
made me realize exacdy why

of the store, I scavenged the

items for my collection of
spring attire. I was drawn to
a sleeveless cable knit sweater
that was marked down to
$ 19.99. ^Fhe top could easily
be formal or casual and

your overall look special. Various accessories can be found in Aeropostale
for $12.50 each. Brown leather belts
go with nearly everything, and striped
cloth styles can be coordinated with the
color you wear most.
Lasdy, I checked out Old Navy with
one intention: fun, colorful flip-flops.
The store offers a huge selection ofthe
$4.50 shoes that look great with skirts,
shorts, or bathing suits at die beach,
and can even serve as shower shoes.
After shopping to the point of exhaustion, I still had to decide wiiat pieces
I would select to put together my head
to toe, knockout chic, spring look. I
decided that ifi wanted to get the most
for the amount of money, I would have
to put together an outfit that could be
worn often and containing pieces that
could be mixed and matched with other
items. Myfinedselection tumed out to
be the khaki shorts from American
Eagle, paired with the cable knit sleeveless sweater from Gap in the warm
weadier friendly shade of turquoise.
The denim jacket from H&M was a
bargain that I could not tum down. I
completed the outfit with one of the
striped belts from Aeropostale and a
pair of flip-flops from Old Navy that
complemented the top. The total cost
came to $100.49.
I am still trying to break the habit of
buying as many new items £is can feasiblyfitin my room. Thanks to my findings at the Pliillipsburg Mall, I now can
add to my wardrobe both at home and
at school. No need to hit Fifth Avenue
to find fashions for spring — there are
deals abounds in the local mall with a
litde carefijl shopping.

Pearl Jam keeps on rocking in the Free World
BY IMAURA ALLAIRE
G
r u n g e might be dead, but
after Tuesday night's Albany show, there is no question
that Pearl J a m is still alive and
well. T h e band delivered an impressive two-hour performance
with new numbers from their recent album Riot Act as well as
some old favorites.
"Flat-out a m a z i n g " and "pure
magic" are the words at the tip
of my t o n g u e to describe my
first live Pearl J a m experience.
I have been to many, many concerts in both intimate and stadium settings, a n d this one just
might have been the most energetic of them all.
T h e show o p e n e d with the
mellow "I Am M i n e " off of Riot
Act. After that, the frenzy began as the gang l a u n c h e d into
" W h i p p i n g . " T h e crowd belted
out every song, a n d was louder

chariot race. T h e vocal crowd
also r e m a i n e d on its feet for the
duration of the concert, sway-
ing, d a n c i n g and bouncing.
"Wishlist," "Alive," and
"Evenflow" were the crowd favorites of the night. T h e o p e n ing "Wishlist" cords a n d lead
singer Eddie Vedder's lone
voice c r o o n i n g , "I wish I was a
n e u t r o n b o m b , for once I could
go off/ I wish I was a sacrifice,
b u t s o m e h o w still lived o n , "
created a particularly poignant
m o m e n t that night.
"Alive," a rousing Pearl J a m
concert staple, h a d the entire
crowd singing along - b o t h the
older a n d younger fans — with
fists in the air. V e d d e r even
threw in a few h a n d b a n g s to go
with the m o o d , as the crowed
echoed "Hey! Hey!"
A crowd-favorite anthem,
" B e t t e r m a n , " featured a lone
spotlight with only Vedder, his
guitar, and the audience on vocals. Of course, he was not the
only one putting on a heck o f a
performance that night, alt h o u g h he did steal the show.
For an a g i n g rocker, V e d d e r

While the set list was short, the
band simply could not continue playing with the level of intensity they
maintained throughout the show.

L O S A N G E L E S (AP) - A college
student pleaded guilty Monday to
stealing
trade
secrets
of
DirecTV's most advanced antipiracy technology _ information
that could help television owners
steal signals from the satellite
company.
Igor Serebryany, 19, could be
sentenced to as much as 10 years
in prison, but the plea deal recommends probation, said Nina
Marino, Serebryany's attorney.
Prosecutors were also seeking up
to $ 1 4 6 , 0 0 0 in r e s t i t u t i o n to
DirecTV Inc., Marino said.
"It is in the discretion of the
court, however, at this offense
level, imprisonment is unlikely,"
Marino said.
Serebryany was charged under
the federal Economic Espionage
Act of 1996, which prohibits anyone from disclosing trade secrets
for economic benefit. Only about
35 criminal cases have been filed
under the law.
T h e LJniversity of Chicago student admitted stealing digital copies of hundreds of secret documents pertaining lo Direc TV's
most advanced access card while
he was working in the Los Angeles oflice o f a law firm represent-
ing the satellite provider, according to the U.S. attorney's office.
"His intent was to have the material posted and made available
to the hacking community." said
Assistant U.S. Attorney James W.
Spertus.

IUS artfiiomHimalayas gathered for new exhibition
D'ALESSIO
CHICAGO (AP) - The majesty and
holiness of the Himalayas have enthralled art curator Prata{iaditya Ped for
nearly 50 yeai-s, and he believes religious art from those mountains can be
a shelter in a war-tom world.
After a nine-year effort, Pal has assembled at the Art Institute of Chicago
an unprecedented collection of that art
from Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, his own
native India and the disputed territory
of Kashmir.
"This art is holy, and this place should
be a refuge of peace for you," said Pal
as he previewed his exhibition,
"Himalayas: An Aesthetic Adventure."
Pal had harsh words for the Americans
and Europeans he accuses of polluting
the HKmalayas for sport and adventure.
'Tor $50,000, anyone in this room can
be carried to the top of Chomolungma
(the Tibetan name for Mount Everest),
and what does that prove?" he asked.
"That you can leave your garbage on a
sacred mountain?"
But Pal's prickliness vanished wiien
he spoke ofhis beloved mountains and
the art they have inspired. He called
the Himalayas the connection between
the Earth and the sky, the temporal and
the eternal, the human and the divine.
And he said the art of the region reflects this, regardless of whether it is
Hindu, Buddhist or from the ancient
Tibetan faith of Bon.
Pal, 67, who has been a visiting curator at the Art Institute since 1994, said
hefirst.saw the Himalayas in 1946 when
his father sent liim to a boarding school
in the mountain city of Darjeeling.
Although he is now a resident of Los
Angeles, Pal said he will never forget
his firet sight of the world's mightiest
mountain range, nor the artistic and
spiritual treasures he saw there over
the succeeding decades.
T h e current show, which runs
through Aug. 17, is Pal's attempt to
present those treasures, as well as the
religious philosophies that underlie
them, to the outside world. The 190
works, many fixjm private collections
and never before on public display, are
from both the Buddhist and Hindu traditions and range in date from the fifth
to the 19th centuries.
A smaller version of the exhibition
wiU mn at the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington from Oct. 18 to Jan. 11,
2004.
Art Institute spokesman John
Hindman said the exhibition is the first
to treat art fi'om the whole Himalayan
region in a comprehensive way.
Pal has organized the exhibition geographically. One section shows works
from Nepal; the second has art from
Kashmir, northern India, the western
Himalayas and westem Tibet; the third
encompasses central and eastern Tibet, as well as Bhutan.
The Tibetan pieces are almost all
Buddhist in inspiration, and the works
fi"om India are predominandy Hindu,
but the collection from Nepal represents both faiths and illustrates a complex process of cross-fertilization in
both art and mythology.
Pal explained that Nepal is the one
region wdiere both Buddhists and Hin-
dus coexisted peacefiilly for centuries.
He also noted that much of the
Nepalese art _ particularly the statues were created by the indigenous Newar
people, who still serve as an artistic
caste. A family-run Newari studio might
create a statue for a Brahmin priest one
month and one for a Buddhist abbot
the next, he said.
Whether in metal, stone, terra-cotta
or paint, the Newari style is graceflil,
usually with meticulously rendered slender and youthfulfigures.Thefiguresin
the works from India and Kashmir,
however, are more sensuously rounded
and more overtly sexual.
But sexual elements are not lacking
in the art from any ofthe regions. Despite their ancient tradition of asceticism, both the Hindu faith and the
Tantric form of Buddhism that predominates in the Himalayas make
much of sexual symbolism and the
union ofthe male and female principles.
This concept reaches its h e i ^ t in an
1 Ith-century copper alloy statue from
Nepal that shows the Hindu god Shiva
melded with his consort, Parvati, into a
hermaphroditic figure. The statue also
shows the skill of the Newari metalworkers. Although the Parvati half of
the statue is instandy recognizable, a
close look reveals subde male-female
distinctions in the rendering of the
waist, hips, and even the way the arms
_ all four ofthem _ hang from the shoulders.
And although both faiths stress the
importance of inner peace, scenes of
violence, death and horror are not lacking, either. Gods and demonsfightwith
swords, clubs and thunderbolts; the hag
death-goddess Chamunda (Parvati in
another form) grins over her necklace
of severed heads; and a naked female
sage averts her eyes from the carrion
birds pulling the intestines from a dead
dog
There is even all-too-human misbehavior, albeit on a superhuman scale.
Two paintings show the sage Vimpa
ordering the sun to stand still in the sky.
Legend has it that he did so because he
was on a spree, wanted to keep on drinking, and also wanted to avoid f)aying
his tavern tab.

NEW YORK (AP) -When Rachel Loy

College basketball could get facelift this week
I N D I A N A P O L I S (AP) - College basketball teams may have to
contend with wider lanes, longer
3-pointers and more replays on
game-winning shots as early as
next season.
T h e N C A A men's basketball
rules committee begins three days
of meetings Tuesday in Indianapolis. T h e most significant proposals would be those most visible to fans and players _ changing the lines on the court.
T h e committee is considering
expanding the college lane from 12
feet to either the NBA distance
of 16 feet or the trapezoid that is
used in international competition.
It also will debate extending the
3-point line from 19 feet, 9 inches
to the international standard of
20 feet, 6 inches.
"As far as the lane, I think the
committee will make some kind of
decision," said Edward Bilik, the
committee's secretary rules editor. "I'm not sure about the 3point line."
If the committee recommends
changes this week, the N C A A
championship committee would
still have to approve them in June.
Discussion about wider lanes
and longer 3-pointers have been
discussed for years, but Bilik believes this week's meetings could
produce a vote, although he is uncertain if either will pass.
One committee member. South
Carolina coach Dave O d o m , believes more study is needed before implementing any changes.
"I think the consensus is leaning more toward the trapezoidal
lane than the NBA lane," O d o m
said. "I'd be in favor of experimenting with that."
T h e w i d e r l a n e s h a v e been
used in exempt games such as the
M a u i I n v i t a t i o n a l for several
years. T h e N C A A experimented
with the trapezoid three years ago
and has used the NBA-style lane
the last two seasons.
Bilik believes three years is long
enough to determine if a change
would help reduce the rugged inside play that some coaches have
complained about.
"There has been a concern that
it has b e c o m e a g a m e of the
weight room rather than a game
of skill," Bilik said. "I think the
committee would rather it be a
game of skill."
T h e future of the 3-point line,
adopted in 1986, is even less certain.
Last season was the first time
the NCAA required exempt games
to be played with the 3-pointer at
the international distance, so the
committee could opt for another
year of experimentation.
Statistics collected from 25 exempt games and 25 randomly selected regular-season games this
year indicated a longer distance
had little affect on teams.
Teams shot 34 percent from the
longer 3-point line, c o m p a r e d
with 35 percent at the shorter distance, a n d teams actually took
more shots (902-870) from the international line. There was a 5
percent margin of error in the
sampling.
O d o m has another problem,
though.
"Every year we talk about moving it back, a n d every year it
seems like shooting percentages
go d o w n a c o u p l e h u n d r e d
points," he said. "Why should we
move it back if kids aren't making them from where it is?"
Statistics also showed the wader
l a n e p r o d u c e d no significant
changes in offensive or defensive
rebounds off missed free throws
or a higher rate of violations or
fouls on free throws.
But it did have an inadvertent
effect. C o a c h e s r e s p o n d e d in
t h e i r q u e s t i o n n a i r e s t h a t it
opened up the offense by creating m o r e space for players to
drive through.
If the r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s are
approved this week, the changes
could take effect as early as next
season. T h e implementation
could be delayed, however, by
costs or if schools are unable to
reconfigure their floors in time for
next season.
"They could do anything," said
Marty Benson, the NCAA rules
committee liaison. "They could
vote on the two proposals together, or they could decide to do
one or the other."
T h e committee also will consider an expansion in the use of
television replay at the end of
games, something O d o m favors
after losing a game that could have
been changed by replay.
Current rules allow replay only
to b e u s e d for d e t e r m i n i n g
whether a shot was off before the
game clock expired.
Following a controversial ending to an Oklahoma-Oklahoma
State game last year, the committee will consider a d d i n g shotclock violations, goaltending or
offensive i n t e r f e r e n c e , a n d
whether a player was fouled in the
act of a 3-pointer or a 2-pointer
on game-winners for review.
O d o m believes if changes are
made, they will be minimal.
"I think this is a very cautious
committee," he said.

Recruit claims paymentfix)mMississqipi State assistant
BY RALPH D . Russo
J A C K S O N , Miss. (AP) - A Mississippi State high school recruit
said he was given cash by a Bulldogs assistant football coach.
Mississippi State athletic director Larry Templeton said Tuesday that Brandon High School
linebacker Kenneth Griffith told
NCAA investigators that assistant
coach Glenn Davis gave him $800
to pay for summer classes at a
private school.
"I think it's important to remember that this is an allegation.
Until all the facts are gathered we
need to be very careful in assuming anything," Templeton said.
Griffith, who verbally committed to Mississippi State last year,
but eventually signed with Southern Mississippi, told The Clarion-
Ledger newspaper of Jackson he
was interviewed at his home by
the NCAA on March 24.
Templeton told The Associated
Press on Tuesday that attorneys
r e p r e s e n t i n g the school were
present during the interview.
Mike Glazier, one of the Overland, Kan.-based lawyers representing Mississippi State, said he
c o u l d n o t c o m m e n t on t h e
NCAA's interview of Griffith.
Mississippi State received a
preliminary letter of inquiry from
the NCAA in March.
T h e letter said investigators
were looking into various allegations of rules violations by the
football program, including "offers and inducements to prospective student-athletes ... by current
and former members of the football coaching staff."
The letter did not detail allega-
tions made against Mississippi State.
T h e N C A A said in the letter
that it hoped to have its investigation complete by July.
Mississippi State has been cooperating with the NCAA since
investigators interviewed 1 2 football players at the Starkville campus last summer.
During spring practice the status of starting quarterback Kevin
Fant became an issue, though it
apparently has nothing to do with
the NCAA.
Fant practiced with the Bulldogs
for a week and played in their first
scrimmage, then was not seen at
practice again.
Bulldogs coach Jackie Sherrill
first said Fant was out with an injury, then said the junior was taking time off to get caught up on
his school work. Fant has not spoken publicly about his absence.
T h e Bulldogs are coming off
their second straight three-win
season, one that p r o m p t e d
S h e r r i l l to fire five assistant
coaches.
Sherrill, who is about to start
his I 3th season with Mississippi
State, did not return a p h o n e
message left at his office Tuesday
seeking c o m m e n t on Griffith's
allegations. A secretary in Mississippi State's football office said
Davis, who has coached running
backs for t h e Bulldogs since
1997, was on the road.
Griffith is alleging major rules
infractions by Mississippi State.
Mississippi State has not been
allowed by the NCAA to question anybody at Brandon High
School, Templeton said.
The NCAA, which does not comment on ongoing investigations, did
not retum telephone calls.

Leopards* bats silenced, team fails to make playoffs
BYJ E R E M Y C O O K
I
n a season full of hot and cold
streaks, wacky weather, and
general inconsistency, the
Lafayette Baseball Team faltered down the stretch and
came up short ofa repeat playoff appearance.
The Leopards started their
season on the wrong foot, having 14 of their first 17 games
either postponed or cancelled
due to inclement weather, and
a total of 22 games affected on
the year.
against Holy Cross and Lehigh.
Since the Holy Cross series,
Lafayette has gone on a 4-14
slide causing the Leopards fall
to last place in the Patriot
League.
Lafayette finished up league
play this past week with four
games at Patriot League regular season champion Bucknell
and also a make-up game with
Lehigh.
Last weekend's doubleheaders with the Bison saw Lafayette
struggle offensively and also defensively at limes.
"[Bucknell is] definitely
"Every team was in it to the

and we were one of them.
Just didn't work out for us this
year."

Lafayette went 2-5 on the
road over Spring Break in
Maryland and South Carolina.
As the Patriot League season
started, though, the Leopards'
performance picked up as they
went 6-3 over a two-week span
good," said Marcus Ward '04.
"I think we could have beaten
them, but we made mistakes,
and they took advantage of
those mistakes."

three games, as starters James
Duer ' 0 3 , Ward, and Joe
Saporetti '03 combined to average nearly five innings pitched
and less than three earned runs
per game.
However, the offense could
not put any runs on the board
and managed just two runs total over the first three games.
Bucknell picked up wins in each
of the three games.
Soflbandoses out difficult season
wWifourshutoutlossesatColgate
BY B R I A N GERAGHTY
I
f the Lafayette Softball Team's
season could be characterized
as a roller coaster ride, one
would hope there would be no
charge for admission. While the
Leopards had their share of
highlights this season, an exciting roller coaster consists of
both ups and downs, and this
year, there were simply too
many lulls. *
Lafayette finished out its season last weekend at Colgate (2512, 12-4), where the Leopards
went nearly hitless in four
straight shutout losses. T h e
R a i d e r s ' offense lit up the
Lafayette pitching staff, knocking multiple balls out of Eaton
Street Field for home runs.
C o m b i n e that with eight
Lafayette errors over the fourgame series and the weekend for
Colgate turned into a cakewalk.
With Saturday's games postponed due to rain, the teanns
picked up the action on Sunday
for a doubleheader. Colgate's
Elena Isaac pitched a pair of
one-hitters for her third and
fourth shutouts of the season.
Danielle Bemotsky '05 got
Lafayette's only hit in a 9-0
game one loss, and Meghan
Davis '06 tallied the lone base
knock for the Leopards in game
two's 8-0 blanking. M e g a n
Longo '04 and Lauren Belowich
'06 took the losses on the hill.
Monday's
doubleheader
would treat Lafayette no better,
as the Leopards dropped their
final two games of the season
by identical 8-0 scores.
Isaac returned to the mound
in game one and proceeded to
get Lafayette batters out every
which way, until she earned herself a five-inning perfect game.
Though she only struck out two,
Isaac received much support
from her defense. With the way
the Lafayptte defense played,
however, Isaac could have afforded to give up one or two
measly hits.
Longo took her second loss
of the series after pitchingjust
two innings and giving up three
hits. However, Colgate plated
seven runs over the two innings
and all were unearned, courtesy
of four Lafayette errors. The
Leopards would commit two
more over the course of the
game, and the Raiders tacked
on a run in the fourth for the 80 victory.
K a t e H o w a r d and Erica
Nesselroad combined for another 8-0 no-hit win for Colgate
in game two. Melissa Rawson
took care of the run support by
cranking a three-run shot in the
fourth and a walk-off home run
in the fifth for the eight-run
rule.
Belowich bore the loss, giving up seven hits for eight runs.
Colgate will complete its regular season schedule this weekend at Holy Cross (14-23, 9-7).
Next weekend Army (18-21, 911) will join the Raiders and
Crusaders at nuraber one seed
Lehigh (36-7, 19-1) for the Patriot League Softball Championships.
Lafayette finished with an
overall record of 5-31 and a
league mark of 1 -19. The Leopards' lone conference win was a
6-3 victory on April 2 against
Army.
With the season at an end, the
coaster's electricity has been
turned off. Do not be surprised,
though, to find people camping
out waiting for tickets to next
year's ride. The Leopards will
graduate four seniors from this
season's squad, but that still
leaves plenty of veterans to
design a completely new track
for Lafayetle Softball.
With the Leopards still in contention to make the playoffs,
their fourth contest at Bucknell
and Tuesday's make-up with
Lehigh still allowed Lafayette
some breathing room to make a
run for the tournament.
Against Bucknell, the Leopards saw the Bison jump out to
a 4-1 lead at the end of the first
inning.
Lafayette rallied to retake the
lead 5-4 in the second, as Jason
Boyd '04 and Adam Rosenberg
'04 each doubled to cap the fourrun rally. That was the end of the
Leopards' offense, though, and
Bucknell put up three runs in the
bottom of the fourth to recapture the lead for good.
On Tuesday at home against
Lehigh, Lafayette again jumped
out to an early lead, scoring one
run both in the first and second
innings.
The Leopards held on to the 20 advantage until the top of the
fifth, when they watched Lehigh
tack up three runs to take the lead
3-2.
Lafayette struck back in the
bottom half of the inning
though.
Jeff Rodgers '04 and Boyd
both doubled to tie the game.
The Mountain Hawks came
right back in the top ofthe sixth
with four runs to take a 7-3 lead
and escaped Easton with a 7-4
victory.
The win clinched a playoff
berth for Lehigh and left the
Leopards in the Patriot League
cellar, two games back r ? the
Mountain Hawks.
"Every team was in it to the
end," said Ward. "Not every
team can make it [into the playoffs], though, and we were one
of them. Just didn't work out
for us this year."
Adding injury to insult, the
Leopards lost 10-7 in extra innings on Wednesday in a home
contest against non-conference
foe Rutgers.
All that remains for Lafayette
(12-22, 7-13) this season is a
game today at home against East
Stroudsburg at 4 p.m. and a
home-and-home four-game series with Binghamton over the
weekend.
The Leopards close out their
year on the road on Wednesday
at Albany.

Crew earns respect at Patriot League Challenge
BY B R I A N G E R A G H T Y

ie Lafayette Crew Club may
not have looked as if it belonged at last Sunday's Patriot
League Challenge on Lake
Quinsigamond in Worcester, Massachusetts, but whal have our teachers always told us about judging a
book by its cover? The Lafayette
rowers did not necessarily have the
physical build that much of their
opposition possessed, but when the
Leopards hit the water they turned
some heads for a reason other than
having an impressive physique. Spectators took caution not to get whipilash as they watched the Lafayette
boats zip by.
Of course, Lafayette did not bring
home the team titles, nor were any
rowers offered an automatic bid to a
seat in any ofthe next United States
Olympic boats. What the Leopards
did achieve, however, was the sincere respect of the other schools at
the regatta; and with such powerhouse programs as Holy Cross,
Colgate, and Ijehigh in the waters,
that was a grand accomplishment.
"This was the first time in several
years that we were regarded as competitive contenders," said Crew Club

James has made his decision. Tlie next
one will be made for him.
The nation's top high school basketball player declared himself eligible
Friday for tlie ISBA draft, promising
he'll play for \N4iichever team selects

"I feel like whatever team decides
to pick me, they won't be disappointed
because I'm a great competitor and I

winning the top overall pick in the draft

than going to colkge"When you're hot, you're hot, and
I'm supposed to be fi-om the No. 1
pick to the third pidc,"James said. "Ycai
can't get any liigher."
The 6-foot-8 guard-forward made
his anticipated announcement at Akron St Vincent-St. Maiy High School,
which he led to three state championships in four years.
With his teammates sitting in a row

'Tmjust looking forward to the challenge,"James said. ' I love challenges.
And I know eveiyone's going to lie
coming after me."
Although James did not designate
an agent, Aaron Goodwin, who represents players such as Gary Payton
and Vm Baker, attended tlie news conference.
James also hasn't chosen among
Nike, Adidas and Reebok, which
have been courting him for a shoe
deal expected to be worth at least
$20 million.
James, weaiing a gray AirJoixlan
shirt, stood in front of a large banner
emblazoned
with
"LeBronJames.cora." He said there
is nothing yet on the Web site, but
that it eventually will hold information about James, the only threetime winner of Ohio's Mr. Basketball award.
His mother, (rloria, and coach

On the other side sat Frank and Pam
Walker, whom he lived with when
he was in fifth grade.
James said that he will be at home
with family and friends for the draft
lottery and plans to foim a relationship with the teams that have the
first three picks.
"It's not a locked thing that I'm
going to be the No. 1 pick," he said.
James, who wall graduate June 7,
has been destined for the pros for
some time. At one point he and his
mother considered petitioning the
NBA to allow him to enter the draft
after his junior year of high school.
He has been heralded as a oncein-a-generation player since his
sophomore year.
As ajunior, he appeared on the
cover of Sports Illustrated, dubbed
"The Chosen One," and in the last
two years has won every national
player of the year award possible,
James said he knows there will be
pressure on him to live up to expectations.
"I hope my teammates, who are
going to be much older than me,
respect me as a player," James said.
"I'm not coming in trying to be
cocky. I'm just trying to get my teammates better every day."
H e averaged 30.4 points, 9.7 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.9 steals as

not bring home a first place
trophy from last weekend's Patriot
League Championships, but what
the Leopards did manage was no
small feat. Lafayette's fourth place
finish in the team standings was its
highest in the 13-year history ofthe
tournament. Four different Leopards placed in the top 20, and firstyear Head Coach Jim Hutnik '78
