Patrick Kelly Wellness Fair to recharge JCU students By Molly Delaney Joel Mullner "I plan an expansion of the Communications Division to include pub Iicity for student organizations, which will bring about a closer community and more involvement." The Carroll News Dan Lynch If you're reading thi article with a donut in your hand, or you can 't remember the last time you went for a run, the Student Health Center will offer a chance for student to renew tired and unhealthy bodies. On Tuesday, Nov.l6, the 15th annual Wellne s Fair will be held in the Student Center Atrium with the theme, "Taking Steps to a WellRounded You." According to Director of Student Health Services, Rose Bentivegna, the Well ness Fair wi ll al low students to assess their hea lth on an emotional, intellectual, spiri tual, social, physical and occupational level as they are invited to take part in the activities and screenings of the day. "The fair is a reminder of how important it is ... for students to be in tu ne with their bodies," said senior Roberta Muoio, one of the four student organizers planning the event. The other three organizers are seniors K.risti Hosko, Gina Puppo and Lisa Schwan, who, according to Bentivegna, "are enthusiastic, br ight , and c rea tive . Th e y 've worked hard to make thi s fair a success." The fair will feature representatives and experts to educate students on all aspects of health. Hill c res t Hos pital will offe r cholesterol creening and tests for blood sugar levels. Healthy Heart will give heart screenings, and Bally Total Fitness will feature an exercise physiologist to give consultations and ad mini ter tests to assess exercise habits. Estee Lauder will spon or free makeovers . A dermatologist will be on site to distribute samples, and rna sage therapist Rick DiRunza will offer free head and neck massage ·. Parkhur. t will provide healthy food that " really tastes good," Bentivegna said. "We want to remind people of the importance of wellness and preventative health care ," Muoio said . "It's an opportunity to see what's new in the health care field - to show people what's out there and what's available to keep track of their health." According to Muoio, the most beneficial service for students will be the health screenings, as students will be able to analyze their bodies so that changes can be made for the future. "But there's going to be a lot of interesting things to see and ask questions about," she said. According to Puppo, the Health Center wants to encourage students to learn the necessary steps to take to achieve a sound mind and body. Bentivegna echoed this sentiment, saying that students need to become aware of the most important aspects of a college student's health , such as eating well, exercising, managing stress, and receiving tests and screenings. " Students should know that this fair is being put on for them," Puppo said . President, Administration working towards student town hall meeting next semester From TOWN, p. 1 All of these meetings will be held in the LSC Conference Room and cover topics that Niehoff believes are of vital importance to the JCU community."! believe these five topics are major pieces of our University which have strategic choices," Niehoff said. Although students cannot attend this series of town hall meetings, Niehoff is currently working with Vice President of Student Affairs Patrick Rombalski and Student Union President Dan O' Malley to create a student series. According to O' Malley, the first of these meetings would occur at the start of next semester, with another around midterms. O 'Malley said he would like the first meeting to focu s on financial issues. "Come December, we ' ll have a clearer picture about tuition increases for 2006-2007. And I think it would be great to have a town hall with the president of the University to talk about that," O ' Malley said. O ' Malley said he envisions the second meeting to cover student services, which would include topics such as the bookstore, Parkhurst and academic advising. These meetings would be open to the entire student body and have the same presentation and discussion format. However, no definite date or location has been decided. As far as topics are concerned, O' Malley said he is hoping for feedback from the students. "I hope to get some suggestions about what other ideas people have for this second town hall because there are so many issues that students want to talk about," O' Malley said. SNOW CLOSING POLICY Vice President for Student Organizations candidates: Josh Brickner , "Right now there is an issue in the maki ng sure the officers of each group are aware of the LSO process.

U.S. Senate to vote on student aid By Beth Bowers Assistant Editorial and Op/Ed Editor Many John Carroll students may have to start looking for other financial aid opportunities, if a budget reduction bill cuts the Perkins Loan and Pell Grants. On ct. 27, the Hou e of epr sentatives approved a bill that will cut certain financial aid programs, including the Perkins Loan. This bill will also affect the Pell Grants. Pell Grants are need based and they might not be increased. If the part of this bill, that cuts the Perkins loan funds, makes it through HouseSenate conference, then, according to Jerry Sheehan, director of Public Affairs at JCU, loan programs will become more expensive and less available. "If this loan cut passe , it will affect all our students. This is no small matter. I urge all students to call House members [in Congress]," Sheehan said. The National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities records show that last year, 519 John Carroll students received Perkins loan awards. The total authorization amount for the Perkins loan is $1 million If Congress allows the cut of r the Perkins loan, then more than 500 students will lose aid, averaging $2,000 dollars per tudent. This might see like a small amount, but as a whole thi could end up co ting a lot more money for students becau e lenders will have to increase interest costs in order to make up for cuts to their pro l.. JCU president the Rev. Robert Niehoff went to Washington D.C. to lobby against the bill. While there, he visited many of northeastern Ohio's representatives. "My argument was that the economy in northeastern Ohio is poor. The demographic are poor," Niehoff said, "[This happens] because there aren't enough jobs, and the economy is stagnate because the manufacturing industry is no longer thriving. If we don't provide help for higher education, people will leave the area and not return." Congress is also trying to make institutions evaluate and clarify their credit transfer policies. According to Vice President of Student Affairs Patrick Rombalski, Congress is trying to make nearly all classes at almost all public institutions transferable more easily from one school to the next. Legally congress really can't restrict private schools, but this Cam us Safety Log November 5, 2005 A staff member reported graffiti on the white board of room 147 in Sutowski Hall at 1:03 p.m. November 5, 2005 Campus Police found a broken window on the third floor of Murphy Hall facing Sutow ki at 4: 15 a.m. A report was taken by CSS.

It is important to me that we keep John Carroll affordable for our students." Congress is hoping to have the bill passed before January. According to Rombalski, given the many other high priority issues that Congress has to resolve - including hurricane relief, the Alito nomination, and the Iraq war- the bill probably won't be reconciled for several months. There are many discrepancies between the House and Senate versions of the bill, which could also delay its passing. "Continue to advocate that if the government is going to make cuts, it should not be to higher education," Rombalski said. "Write Congress, call Congress, especially Republicans.

(The marriage lasted five days.) REVIEW: New Jake Gyllenhaal/ Jamie Foxx movie "Jarhead" is riveting. Hollywood marriages and their impact on society By Lindsay Misencik •1taly, Brazil and Mexico have some of the lowest divorce rates. Staff Reporter From frequent high-profile breakups to sky-high divorce rates, it may seem that the institution of marriage is in trouble. The media is filled with stories of celebrity marriage and breakups. In this week's issue of US Weekly, the headline reads, "Britncy & Kevin: Trouble after Baby." Could another celebrity romance be deteriorating? From Jude Law to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, details of the love lives of celebrities remain a dominant feature of popular culture. The vast majority of young people, however, cite marriage as one of their major life goals, according to a 2004 study by the National Marriage Project at Rutgers Univer ity. Sociology professor Phyllis Harris said society should not necessarily be concerned • The U.S., Puerto Rico, Russia and the United Kingdom have some of the highest divorce rates. with celebri ty 's marital woes. Tips to help manage the inevitable stress that accompanies being a student. Page6 "Dating and marriage behaviors tie with accepted values and societal expectations. In terms of acceptable behavior, celebrities are in a class of their own." She said that celebrity behaviors will only affect people if they view celebrities as role models, but students said these images in the media have little effect on their views. Senior Lindsey Robinson said celebrities "have too much money and are bored" and their relationship news does not affect her. Junior Erica Patti said celebrity relationships are not role models. "Celebrities are bad roles models and have no influence on me," Patti said. "They arc blinded by the spotlight and use marriage as a way to promote themselves." Hollywood has examples of stars who live together without tying the knot, including Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham, among others. Harris added that marriage is a life choice now, as opposed to a necessity as it was in the past. "Half a million couple were cohabiting in 1970; that number is now 5 million," Harris said. "Women are much more independent economically. Forty years ago this wasn 't an option for women, since they needed to be married to survive." married eight times. jennifer Lopez has been married three times, and Britney Spears has been married twice. Leaving the breakup behind LIVING: How the new film "North Country" opens eyes to the issue of sexual harassment. CALENDAR: Find out what's happening on and off campus this weekend. Page7 By Megan King Copy Editor BOOK REVIEW: "' It's Called a Breakup ..." Stop checking your messages (and his). Lay off the Haagen Daz and get out of your PJs. Breakups can be gut wrenching, but you are going to be OK. These are some of the many pieces of wisdom "Sex and the City" contributor Greg Behrendt and his wife, Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt, offer in their new breakup survival guide, "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl 's Breakup Buddy." Greg Behrendt recently coauthored The New York Times best-seller "He's Just Not That Into You." That straight-talking approach to men and their confusing signal taught women to stop making excu es for the men in their live . In the latest book. the Behrendts offer a simple, yet powerful, thesis on another important relationship topic - breakups. While it may be tempting to wither away from a broken heart, a breakup is a time to feel the pain. reevaluate things and move on with 111 , 1 life as a more fabulous you. The authors' view the breakup as sort of a cleansing experience - a chance to sec what improvements need to be made. "It's called a breakup because it's broken, and starting today, you're not the kind of woman who settles for broken or hang on to damaged goods, be it a radio, a pair of shoes, or a relationship!" In the first section, they Jay out the commandments for surviving. No calling or seeing him for 60 days. Get rid of, or give back, his things and anything that reminds you of him. Get in motion every day. The mo t important chapter and survival rule is "It won't work unless you 'rc number one." The chapter offers practical advice on how to usc the newfound time to better your own life. This is where "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken" differs from most nauseating relationship advice books and women's magazine articles. It's not about snagging a man in 30 days or getting him to take you back.

The film features stories of soldiers enduring Operation Desert Storm. 'Jarhead' gives soldiers' insight By Brian Bremer Assrstant Arts & Life Editor Two weeks before its release, I was completely unaware of the movie "Jarhead." Then the marketing blitz started, using one of the best trailers of recent memory. The trailer reveals almO>;t nothin a ut th plot, but it has such a sense of energy, largely due to Kanye West's "Jesus Walks" blasting In the background. There was no way I was going to miss this film. There is, however, a reason that the trarlcr gives no plot: there isn't one. The movie progresses as a string of incidents in the life of the Marine Anthony Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) from the time he enlists through fighting in Kuwait in Operation Desert Storm. The movie docs not allow the audience to get too emotionally attached to the soldiers. but is filled with plenty of heart wrenching moments. It can appear that the movie "Jarhead'' trie to at ow t au ien e connection~ with the soldiers on a very human level. Yet, it wanl~ to be clear that civilians cannot truly empathize or understand the military mindset, especially that of the Marine Corps. If this ounds contradictory, it's because the movie is. That does not MOVIE REVIEW: ,,,, Jarhead detract from the overall appeal to the mo i n i Of the two hour movie, less than 20 minutes are spent in training. It is more of an introduction to the Marines than an introduction to the characters. We meet the characters once Operation Desert Shield begins, and they attempt to deal with boredom and homesickness. The characters are well casted. Jake Gyllenhaal ("Donnie Darko," "The Day After Tomorrow") draws the audience in. He deftly shows the conflict between his hatred of being in the desert and his eagerness to have his first kill. Jamie Foxx ("Ray," "Collateral") is tellar as the staff sergeant in charge o niper uad. A die-hard Marine, he cares about his men, but he obviously believes in their mission far more than his squad does. Peter Sarsgaard ("Flight Plan," "Garden State") is solid as Swofford's best friend Troy, and Chris Cooper ("American Beauty," "The Bourne Identity ") steals his scenes as the commanding Colonel. Probably the most surprising juxtaposition in the movie are the humorous one-liners tossed about by the Marines in a movie that is predominantly about despair and loss of self-worth. This is not your typical war movie. There arc no battle scenes, though carnage of war is displayed in an extremely graphic manner. The humanity of "Jarhead" i its best trait. It is the most emotionally engaging movie of the year; I left the theater feeling drained. "Jarhead" is a movie that not everyone wiU like, but everyone should see. Organize and de-stress with tips from counseling center By Marla Kaclk Assistant Nation Editor The semester has been passmg by rapidly. And as it comes to an end, JCU student have to worry about final projects and papers, final exam · and holiday shopping. With all of this on the student agenda, it's no surprise that stress is everywhere. Mary Beth Javorek of John Carroll's Counseling Center explained that there 's a predictable pattern of students commg to her for stress. "We peal.: the la't wcd.s of October and the first weeks of ovcmbcr,'' 'he said Javorek sard that stress is the most common topic students need counsel ing on. includrng anxiet) resulting from balancing activities. maintatn ing posrtive relationships and dealing with the workload of a university education. The workload, ·he explained, is the source of most of students' stress. "It's ever present. As soon as you finish one test, you look at your calendar and see all the exams and projects coming up again.·• With the constant pressure of college life. it inevitably takes a physical toll on the body. Symptoms of stress include trouble sleeping, upset stomach, fast heart rate, headaches. irritability and cold sweats. Rose Bentivegna, R. ., director of the Student Health Center, said these symptoms might not always seem like stress at first. "When I do an exantinallon. I don't sec any reason for them . But when I talk to them. I lind out a whole lot more.'' "Guess what? You can't stay up all night, not eat well and wonder why you don't feel well." - Rose Bentivegna, R.N. Director of the Health Center In conversation, students often admit that they don't sleep or eat enough. They try to do too much and arc a nervous wreck, according to Bentivegna. Bentivegna's reply: "Guess what? You can't stay up all night, not eat well and wonder why you don't feel well." Javorek agrees. "Your mind functions better when you've had some rest," she said. According to Bentivegna, there is a way to figure out how much sleep you need. One should get eight hours of Jeep for a few night~. Tf one feels refreshed after that, set the alarm back I 5 minutes earlier each night. EventuallY., one will find a night when you get just enough sleep for you to function. In addition to eating and sleeping, Javorek said that good study habits beat anxiety. Working for hours at a time and trying to force , tudying or writing will not accomplish anything, according to Javorek. "It's better to break your study or writing time into smaller breaks so you're more effective," Javorek said. Bentivegna said she tries to help students who are worried about their workload by talking about how they manage their time. ''Let's talk about what you ·hould have done last week so you would not be where you are f'!loiO courtesy of wwwvpul upe<VI.odu Busy students can relieve stress by becoming organized and taking time to get proper rest and nutrition. now," she said. Use of a daily planner to look ahead to future activities could be the solution to such problems, according to Bentivegna. With exam week starting Dec. 12, it is never too early to start planning. "Get a game plan. Look at your syllabus and actually plan six to seven days in advance when to study," Javorek aid. Finally, healthy exam studying allows time for breaks, according to Bentivegna. Eating the right foods, sleeping the right amount and studying the right amount are all important for a healthy lifestyle, she aid.

Finally, he faced her fears and filed a lawsuit, the first class action case again t sexual hara sment. The recently released movie " orth Country" portrays Jenson's struggle. In the movie, she i represented by a character named Jo ey Aimes, played by Charli ze Theron. Aimes. faced with hard times, must work in the mines of her Minnesota hometown to upport her two children. Unwelcome in the mostlymale industry, the female workers are constantly harassed and beaten. Some of the attacks border on rape. The 1989 landmark case began the fight against sexual harassment. Today, both men and women face haras ment on college campuses and in the workplace, according to John Carroll counselor and member of the sexual harassment committee Mary Beth Javorek. "Sexual harassment occurs everywhere," Javorek said. "People have different sets of expectations and understandings of what's acceptable and what's not acceptable. Part of what creates sexual hara sment is people coming from different backgrounds." While individuals may differ in their understanding of what is acceptable behavior, knowledge of what is considered sexual harassment is important for everyone from tudents to employees, Javorek added. "The key to sexual harassment is it has to be unwanted," Javorek explained, "and it has to persist. The person continues the behavior even after they have been asked to stop." Freshman Sara Martin said some people have the mistaken belief that sexual harassment only involves physical contact. "Sexual harassment is when a person is sexually violated either physically or yerbally when a person i. either touched unwillingly in a sexual manner or is harassed verbally in a rude sexual manner." Martin said . " Many people feel that sexual harassment is solely physical, but it can be either physical or verbal." Whether physical or verbal, victims of sexual harassment are not always women as many assume, Javorek explained. "Anyone can be a victim. male or female." Javorek said. "Most case are women with case about hara sment from men. There are a good number of cases where men arc filing complaints being harassed by women; about 10 percent of the cases. And there are also women being harassed by other women, men being harassed by other men." Any form of exual haras ment of men or women can overlap with stalking. The two are related but there is a distinction of stalking moving towards sexual offense. "There is a cross over of unwanted behavior such as gift and phone calls. especially in the work place. Generally, stalking behavior doesn't stop and has the addition of physical threat." Javorek said. It is important to take harassment seriously because of new technology, which poses a bigger threat and increases the risk of sexual harassment and stalking. like technology ew thefacebook.com and the ability to post picture online is making it easier for people to look others up and find out their information," Martin said.

French President Jacques Chirac promised arrests, trials, and punishment Sunday for those causing "violence or fear" across France. French riots heating up By Frank Bujanda Th Carroll e France wlfllmposc curfews and usc police reservists in an attempt to quell the rioting that began after an accidental electrocution of two teens Oct. 27. The rioting spread from Paris suburbs to nearly 300 cities and towns in France. As of Monday, one fatality has been reponed - a 61-year-old man who was beaten by an allacker outside his housing project in a Paris suburb. More than I ,400 vehicles were burned Monday. Churches, businesses and schools have also been burned, according to France's national police chief Michel Gaudin. Police have made nearly 400 arre ts in connection to the incident. Youths have rioted predominantly m the suburbs or impoverished areas where most of the immigrant population resides. These act have also created copycat situations in Germany. According to the New York Time , rioter have targeted the interior minister o ranee. Nicolas Sarkozy. They have said that his negative comment towards them such as "scum" and "lowlifes" when referring to troublemakers in poor neighborhoods. His no tolerance policy has increased youth's angst towards him. The political ten, ion also runs high as both the Interior Minister, Sarkozy, and Prime Minister, Dominique de Villepin, are seeking election to the presidency during the next term. Director of Global Education and political science profes ·or Andreas Sobisch said the rioting could have negative political implications for French leaders. "Mr. Sarkozy is in the prime position to do something because he i in charge of the police. This type of thing can make or break you politically. If you achieve peace you're gold. If you don't, then your done," Sobisch aid. . o i. ch said this issue has en a longterm problem. "It is a difficult situation for the police. There is no one to negotiate with so it makes the situation difficult to control," Sobisch said. "It is an issue that has been festering for a long time. The acts are not a racial thing. It is more religious between anti-Muslim and youth discrimination." John Carroll does not have any students currently studying in France according to Sobisch. However, Professor Martha Pereszlenyi Pinter is planning to take a group of student to Nice, a city on the French-Italian border. She said that she is "deeply distressed" about the situation. There is no plan to cancel the trip at this time, but they are attentive to "social unrest, religious, immigration, and cultural problems" in planning for the spring 2006 trip. "This is the first time [suburban violence] ha Ia ted o long and the government appears taken aback at the magnitude," said Pascal Perrineau, the director of the Center for Study of French Political Life. On Saturday morning, more than 1,000 people took to the streets in a silent march again t the riots. The signs read "No to Violence." Later that night, bands of youth burned a nursery school and warehouses along with vehicles. Villepin spoke on Sunday, promising fast trials for those rioting and assured the people of the increased security in needed areas. President Jacques Chirac promised Sunday to restore public order across France. That night, 10 riot police were injured by buckshot in a clash in the southern Paris suburb of Grigny, national police spokesman Patrick Hamon said. - Compiled from AP wire reports Alita named new nominee Judge believes separation of church and state too rigid By Jen Olsen Staff Reporter After the withdrawal of Harriet Miers' nomination late last month, President Bush appointed a new nominee for the Supreme Coun, Samuel A. Alito. Alito, a graduate of Princeton and Yale, erved as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. His qualifications, unlike Miers', have been regarded as solid. Bush said that A lito "is scholarly, fa1r-minded and principled, and these traits Will serve our nation well on our highest court," a cording to The Associated Press. However, the debate on Alito's nomination focu es on a different area- his political leaning . Overall, social conservatives have been impressed with A lito's record. It is expected that if Alito were to be appointed to the Court, he would tip the scale further toward the political right, The New York Times reported. Alito is known for a Pennsylvania case where he voted in favor of state laws restricting abortion rights. One of the ramifications of thi decision was that women would be required by law to inform their hu bands before obtaining an abortion. Alito voted in the minority in that case. according to The New York Times. Abortion rights group. have spoken out against Alito's nomi- nation, believing that Alito's presence on the Supreme Court would place even heavier restrictions on a woman's right to an abortion, The New York Times reported. Alito has made it clear that he believes the church and state divide today is too rigid, according to The New York Time . He has poken in favor of a renewed use of I0 Commandment displays in the government. Alito a! o has a paper trail that clearly show his con ervative grounding. The ranking D mocrat on the Judiciary Committee, Sen .. Patrick Leahy (VT.), told The New York Time , "This i the whole issue of ideology, and if the ideology is one that you go in with a predetermined agenda, then I don't care if they are a Democrat or a Republican. They don't belong on the Supreme Court." "The aggressively ideological opposition distorts the confirmation process. Treating it as a political matter may encourage a view of the court as nothing more than another political institution," law professor Richard D. Friedman of the University of Michigan told The New York Times. Of major concern at this point is whether or not the Democrats in the Senate would be willing to hold a filibuster, a drawn out delaying tactic to oppose the Alito nomination, according to The Associated Press. A imple majority i required to confirm the nominee, and Republicans hold 55 seats in the Senate. If the Democrats were to lead a filibuster, 60 votes would be required for a cloture motion to stop it. The question of a possible filibuster re ts in the hand of 14 moderate Democrats and Republi- Samuel A. Alito speaks after he is announced as the new Supreme Court nominee. cans known as the Gang of 14. Should they feel thatAlito is not the man needed for the Supreme Court seat, they would allow the filibuster to take place. Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), a member of the Gang of 14, told The New York Times that it was still far too early to say if the threat of a filibuster was sound or not. Nation The Carroll News 9 www.carrollnew online.com November 10, 2005 Libby pleads not guilty Former Chief of Staff to Vice President charged with perjury By Marissa Beechuk Nation Editor Lewi. "Scooter" Libb)' Jr., former chief of staff to Vice Pre ident Dick Cheney, plead not guilty Nov. 3 to perjury and obstruction charges in the CIA leak inve tigation. Lawyers on both sides of the case said it could stretch well into next year because of complications over access to cia sified material, according to the New York Time . Lawyers for Libby said that they would seek to raise First Amendment i ues in his defense by trying to gain access to reporters ' notes regarding the "leak. This sets the stage for more confrontation with journalists who are central to the investigation. Certain aspects of the case are complicating the process, according to special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald. Declassifying material, blacking out secret material, and granting Libby's new lawyers security clearance to review the material may take months. These facts alone have dashed the hopes of Republicans who wanted a quick resolution to a ca e that has already discredited the White House. "In pleading not guilty, he has declared to the world that he is innocent. He has declared that he intend to fi ght the charge in the indictment. He has declared that he wants to clear his good name and he wants a jury trial," Libby 's lawyer Theodore Y. Wells Jr. said. Another of Libby's lawyers. Wil liam Jeffress Jr.. has won famous ca e for many politicians. Most notable was a case against former President Richard M. ixon on public access to the Watergate tapes. At the arraignment. Libby waived his right to a speedy trial, which added to the complications. Judge Reggie B. Walton of Federal Di trict Court said, "1 want to try to have this matter re olved as expeditiously as po sible." However, he understands the unusual complications will make a speedy resolution difficult. The White House has declined to comment on the political impact of a long trial. The refusal to comment begs questions about the administration ·s handling of intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, according to the New York Times. Democratic leaders in the Senate wrote a Jetter to Cheney criticizing his decision to replace Libby with staff members David S. Addington and John P. Hannah. "Instead of cleaning hou e, you _simply rearranged some of the furniture," the Democrats wrote. Libby's arraignment lasted only 10 minutes . Fitzgerald made the trip from Ch1cago to handle the arraignment per onally to show the importance of every step in the case. The arraignment took place in a huge, ceremonial courtroom at the U.S . District Court in Washington. More than I 00 reporters and observers in attendance. Some arrived as early as 7 a.m ., according to the ew York Times. Because the White Hou ·e ha. declined to comment on the case, the i. sue now is how long it can deflect question ·. It also remains to be seen how well it can keep the focus away from President Bush. Special counsel implied in their indictment of Libby that Bush, Cheney and other senior officials had some part in the d1sclosure of information. Bush wa n't mentioned in the indictment. Because so many of his aides are suspected of being involved, the issue opens the door for questions of Bush's involvement. The White House hasn't publicly spoken about Bush's knowledge of who leaked the information. After the leak, a Washington Post/ABC ew poll said that only 40 percent of Americans see Bush as hone t and trustworthy. Democrats are demanding that Bush live up to his pledge of up- It foc used m ai nly on sch ed ulin g ho ld ing hi s atlmin ts trat in n to the snn' issues with no real discussions about evidence itself. highest ethical standards. They are also trying to use this to gel . om clarity bout what did they know and what did they say," Senate in closed session. By Maria Kacik Assistant Nation Editor Unsatisfied with previous efforts to investigate the Bush administration's use of intelligence to enter Iraq, Senate Democrats used an obscure rule last Tuesday to close the Senate and force discussions on the topic. Rule XXI of the Senate says that everyone but senators must leave the room and the doors be closed "on the discussion of any business which may, in the opinion of a Senator, require secrecy." Afterward , all information discussed is labeled confidential and can't be leaked. For a closed-door session, all that's needed is a motion from a senator and a second of that motion. This rule has been used up to 50 times in the past, the last one during the Clinton impeachment. However, it's been more than 25 years since a clo ed session took place without bipartisan agreement. Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist (RTenn.), spoke against the unilateral action. "The United States Senate has been hijacked by the Democratic leadership," he said. Professor Larry Schwab of JCU' political science department explained why this action was taken by the Democrats. "What happens in the Senate is most things are done with the Majority Leader negotiating with the Minority Leader." Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, however, believed that previous efforts to look at reason for entering Iraq have been slow and insufficient. "I think the American people are entitled to know how we got [involved in Iraq]. That's what this is all about," Reid said. "They have repeatedly chosen to protect the Republican administration rather than get to the bottom of what happened and why," Chaired by Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), the committee produced a 51 !-page report in July of 2004. This investigation had two goals. First, it aimed to look at the intelligence that the White House received in the months leading up to the involvement with Iraq. The group had to decide, according to Roberts, "Were those public statements really backed up by intelligence, or were they backed up by flawed intelligence?" In the second phase of research, the group was responsible for deciding whether the administration used deception or twisted information to obtain approval for war. After completing the first phase, the Intelligence Committee decided the information was faulty. Roberts promised an additional investigation to provide an in-depth answer to whether or not Bush twisted information. Schwab said that until the results of this second phase are released, incorrect conclusions might be made. "This would be a favorable outcome for the Republicans," Schwab said. "They can blame it all on faulty information." With the release of this second phase of research, the Bush administration might appear more accountable if found to have twisted the facts. Despite some delays Roberts blamed on the Democrats, the Intelligence Committee is nearing the end of the investigation. He took accusations from the Democrats and the closed door session as an attempt to make him and other Republicans look negligent. "Now we have this ... stunt 24 hours after their staff was informed that we were moving to closure next week," Roberts said. "If that's not politics, I'm not standing here." A bipartisan group of senators has been put together to asses the progress of Roberts and the Senate Intelligence Committee. The group will report to the Senate on Nov. 14.

We haven't won a championship at home since 1993. This was a really, really big deal for us." In the third minute of overtime, Milko Cecez's comer kick went to Kevin Pap, who sent the ball back to Cecez to draw the Wilmington defenders out. Cecez then passed the ball to Mladenovic, who vaulted himself in the air and bicycle kicked the ball into the back of the net. "I felt great for our guys," Head Coach Ali Kazemaini said. "We have such good chemistry. The guys work hard." Jo hn Carroll (12-6-1) won its fourth OAC Tournament title and automatically qualified for the Division Ill NCAA Tournament. JCU has won eight consecutive games and 10 of its last 11 after starting the season 2-5-1. The Streaks then took part in one of the tightest OAC races for first place in years. "We've worked hard the whole year," Cecez said, who had the assist for the game-winning goal. "We had a rough start, but we found the pieces to the puzzle. We turned thi ngs around." JCU c laimed sole po session of first place in the OAC Oct. 22, after defeating W il mington, with the game's only goal coming from senior Brandon D iGuilio . T h at game set the stage for a heated second match-up in the conference fi nals. "Wilm ington's a hard team," Kazamaini said. "We had to keep them down defensively.' In the firs t period, JCU took 10 shots compared to Wilmington's five. The first shot of the game resulted in an early goal for JCU. Pap maneuvered around a pair of Wilmington defenders before passing the ball to Alex Bernot, who scored at the 5:03 mark. It was Bernot'!. seventh goal of the season. "One is not enough," Pap said. "[Wilmington] was putting lots of pressure on u. ." After allowing the early goal, Wilmington goatie Justin Saylor settled in and made numerous tough saves. Freshman goalie Ben Carro was up for the challenge a well and played aggressively, not allowing a goal in the first half. JCU controlled the ball for the majority of the first period, but Wi lmington took control of the second, taking 12 shots at goaltender Carro. Despite the increased offensive attack, JCU remained unphased. "With 14 minutes to go, I thought the game was over," Bemot admitted. That's when the game started to get a bit more physical. "There was a 10 minute span that was intense," Bemot said. "There were four yellow cards." Schmidt received a yellow card after forcing a Wilmington player into his own bench. Yellow cards were also given to M ladenovic, and Wilmington's Ryan Phillips and J.T. Pitstick. It was Pitstick's second yellow card, and he was ejected from the game. " We have to protect our guys a nd p lay physical," Mladenovic said. " We're not going to back down. We're not scared." Pitstick's ejection fired up his team. And even though they were forced to play with only 10 players, they managed to score shorthanded. Derek Vander Sluijs sent a ball into the box for Phil Walter, who scored his fo urth goal of the season to tie the game 1-1. "Wilmington's a good offensive team. They can come back at any point," Cecez said. "They had a man down [and scored]." Late in the second period, Walter had a breakaway, but Carro saved his shot. The game went into the first of two possible overtime periods. "We were down before and tied before in big games," Mladenovic said. "The most important thing is we didn't panic. I never felt we'd lose." "We were a man up in overtime." Kazemaini said. "We were thinking, 'don't do anything silly. Don't force anything.' They were already tired fro m play in a m a n d w n ." JCU needed only two shots in overtime, the first coming from a ball that Cecez kicked into the side of the net and the second by Mladenovic, the game-winner. "We had to grind it out and play tough defense," Cecez aid. He and DiGuilio were recently named to the 2005 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV Men's Soccer Team. John Carroll's next game will be in the NCAA Division ill Tournament against Washington and Jefferson on Saturday at Don Shula Stadium at li a.m. Immediately following the game, Carnegie Mellon and Fredonia State will square off, with the winners playing Sunday at I p.m. Pap sununed up the feeling going into the NCAA tournament. "One game at a time," Pap said. "And let's have some fun." (above, top) Alex Bernot scored the only goal of the first half in Saturday's OAC Championship game against Wilmington.

Blasius happy with soccer's improvements By Mike Scanlan Sports Editor Athleticism and team c hemistry often factor into the record of a successful sport team. But, if you ask Tracy Blasius why her team improved so much this year, her answer is simple. "We were mentally tougher this season with the idea that we were going to have a winning season," she said. Blasius attributes attitude as the reason why her women's soccer team went from 4-13 last season to 10-10-1 this year. And on a team with three senior and eight junior starters, that attitude was an untamable beast. Factor eight one-goallo es into the equation, and you have a recipe for succe that will carry on to the 2006 campaign. Blasius could not have been more pleased with the way her experienced upperclassmen took the team over this year. "We had so much improvement this year offensively," she said. "Erin Grzcgorzewski had seven goals this season and really stepped up from last year." Grzegorzewski echoed Blasius' feeling about the team. "The main difference this year was our team dynamic," she said. "We were so close and there was no division between classes." The junior mid fielder attributed the team's success to an increased comfort level between players. "Usually, when a season comes to an end and its time to wrap up, everyone is ready. But this year was different," Gr.regorzewski said. "The second the g_ame ended against Otterbein, the first thing that flashed into my head was the beginning of the season and how fast it went." As the team leader in goals and points, Grzegorzewski assumed the spotlight for the Blue Streaks this year. "I had a great season, and I was pretty happy with effort," she said. "Alex Kern and I had a huge connection on the left side and I was really comfortable in the middle with Amanda. We all worked together with Sopkovich up top." Statistics aside, Blasius saw a wealth of improvement from her offensive attack. "Jenny Sopkovich had a great year with her speed and athleticism. Laura Violante up top added of top of opportunities for us up top toward the end of the year," she said. In the sports world, the end of one season means this beginning of another, even if it is 10 months away. Blasius thinks that her team i well equipped for another successful season. "1 couldn't be more excited about next year. We'll miss the senior , but we have juniors with a ton of experience," Blasius said. "There's a lot of freshman that didn't get a whole lot of time, but with the year experience, we're looking to them to step up next season.'' Grzegorzewski is looking to next year as a chance for JCU to showca e an already experienced team. "We're losing three tarters, which will hurt, and they'll be missed, but we have a strong program and depth on the bench,'' she said. "Our underclassmen stepped up this season to help our veteran defense,'' she said. "It makes our program so much better to have younger player taking bigger roles." If this po itive team attitude carries over to the 2006 campaign. Blasius and the Blue Streaks should be sitting a top the OAC. - =1~~~v~e-m-b~er-10_2_0_0_5 ________ _________ ~S~~~~ o~-wm The Carroll News Fernandez wins OAC's Pinchak runs to a third place finish . By Mike Scanlan Sports Editor Ellie Fernandez continued her Impressive season last weekend when she won the OAC Championship by 41 seconds, becoming the third straight JCU women's runner to win the event.

Her impress ive 4 1-second victory over second place fi nisher Darc i Walt hew of Ohio Northern helped JC U's women to a second place fi ni sh overall , just one poi nt behind the team champion Polar Bears. Fernandez carried on the tradition created by 2005 graduate and current assistant coach Shannon McConville, who won the race in 2003 and 2004.

All four runners had their best career finishes in OAC championship competition. The senior OAC standout deflected personal honors in favor of an improved team effort. "Obviously, I was thrilled with my effort. But what was really exciting is that our team did awesome," she said. "We actually thought we had won it, but ended up losing by one point." The disappointment of a one-point loss was overshadowed by a consistent team effort. "What I really hope is that my teammates remember how it felt when we thought we had won," Fernandez said. "I hope t~at the unaerc as. men won't et that thought be a glimmer or a one hit wonder. " Junior Tricia Stege, a weekly contributor to the women's effort, saw the second place fini has a tribute to the team's desire to win. "So many teammates in the top 20 show.s an amazing display of mental strength and guts," she said. Fernandez spoke with humility on the topic of regionals, and hopefully, nationals. " I absolute ly fee l like I have a good chance at regionals. I was second last year and I hope that I can win it."' she aid. "As fo r nati onals, I expect to go but I don' t want to take it fo r granted . If I get there, the most natural goal is to improve upon las t year." The top seven individuals at regionals, held this year at Wilmington College. are granted a birth into the national race. Last year at the CAA Championship race at Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Fernandez placed 19th in a time of 22:15 to earn All-American honors. McConville ran to a 15th place fini h, the first time two JCU women placed in the top 20 at the national cross country meet. "The fact that these will be my last two race is a big thing for me," Fernandez said. "Shannon always tells me, when your legs say no, your arms say go." On the men's side of the course, senior Cyril Pinchak finished third in the conference with a time of 25:08 on the 8,000-meter course. It was Pinchak's third All-OAC honor. Teammate Chris Kempf, who had missed almost the entire year since an early season injury, finished 21st in 26:27. He was followed by Chris Hoban, who placed 22nd in 26:29. As a team, the Blue Streak men finished fourth in the conference. "I feel great about how we finished as a team in the OAC's this season ," Hoban aid . "I ' m excited to see how the eason wraps up and I'm eager to get out there and compete this Saturday at the Regional meet." Hoban sees running behind Pinchak as an honor and a challenge. "Cyril has a mental toughness that leave his competitors E:l uele ," Hoban said. "He has battled through injuries and not taken a step back in the process. Cyril i the leader of our team and I feel fortunate to train with him everyday." Pinchak ran to a 79th place finish at the NCAA Championship Meet last year.

"Overcoming adversity was the theme of the game for us because there were penalties called against us literally every five minutes . It is amazing that we could bounce back.

Hockey enters conference play By Art Antram Sports Editor John Carroll men's hockey team had good luck finding the back of the net in a match up versus SUNY Binghamton. The 3-2 victory was hard fought as both teams each had 14 minutes in penalties. JCU (3-9-1 overall) and SUNY Binghamton ( 1-8 overall) both took a plethora of shots on goal. A total of 59 shots were fired. Streaks P!>JIO c:cunesy ol JCU Hod<oy Freshman Lou Grandinetti has stepped up as a leader on the John Carroll Club Hockey team. The Blue Streaks are in a tie for first place in the ECHL Club Hockey league despite playing four nationally ranked teams to begin the season. sophomore goaltender Chris Ostrander made 23 saves on 25 shots, while Binghamton goalie Adam Leach made 31 saves on 34 shots in 60 minutes of regulation. The first goal of the game was a power-play goal scored by sophomore forward John Sullivan, assisted by junior forward Tristan Tripodi and freshman defender Lou Caracci at the 2:18 mark of the first period. The second goal was scored shorthanded at the 12:44 mark of the second period by junior forward, Phil Jancosko and assisted by freshman forward Lou Grandinetti. The third JCU goal was scored at equal strength by Grandinetti and assisted by senior defensernan Kevin Kita. Currently, the Streaks are atop the ECHL Club Hockey league and are in a three-way tie with Mercyhurst College and the University of Niagra. The Streaks got off to a slow tart this cason, but are now going into conference play with plenty of momentum, The reason for the slow tart can be attributed to the tough non-conference schedule. Towson University (14th), University of Michigan Dearbome (13th), Kent State (7th) and Robert Morris of Chicago (3rd) were all ranked in the top 15 in the nation when they played the Streaks. Senior forward and captain John LaRoy feel that even with a short roster, the Streaks have a great thing going in their favor. "We are all hard workers. We have less guys on the roster than most teams and we still perform at a high pace," LaRoy said. The importance of discipline is something that this team is quite receptive to, especially this year's squad. "We focus on positioning and team play." LaRoy said. This simple philosophy seems to be working for the Streaks, who are in the right position to take over their division. Various players have taken on pivotal roles on the team including senior forward Joe Bontempo, junior forwards Tristan Tripodi and Phil Jancosko in addition to sophomore forward John Sullivan. The captains look to these players to guide the younger players that are now experiencing college club hockey's finest competition.

An tmpassioned Student nton election season. Of course. this should not have been a surprise as the outgoing Executive Board ha brought a new level of dedication and capability to John Carroll University's student government. The passion was clearly seen. Bright campaign poster were everywhere from around campus. Facebook groups for many candidate have sprung up, with orne claiming over ISO members. And, candidates went door to door to get the vote out. This is a clear departure from last year, when many tudents weren't aware of or didn't care about the elections. Last year, only six people ran for Executive Board position . leaving multiple unoppo ed races. Thi year, 17 members are running for positions. Intere ted students filled the atrium to listen to stump speeches and the Presidential debate. And in some cases, there was actually a line to vote. The abundance of enthu iastie candidates and upporters is in part due to this year's current Executive Board including the Election Committee and Constitutional Review Committee. Another reason for the better election season was that it was lengthened from six day to two weeks, allowing word of mouth to spread and excitement to build. The confusing primary elections were also eliminated. The SU added a voting place in front of the Garden Cafe, allowing more students, especially commuters, the chance to vote. The success of the pa t two weeks is a reminder of the success and improvements in student life that the past year' Exec Board members have presided over. From last January when they took office, they have increased communication and accountability. Through newsletters and their new Web site, the Exec Board has worked to make the student body more aware of what the Student Union is doing to better serve the students. They have initiated new student services and improved old ones. Most importantly, the Exec Board has changed the previously commonly-held belief that the SU doesn't do anything. NOTABLE Volunteers needed for relief efforts slee " Since August, tragedie caused by hurricanes, mudslides and tornados have attacked our country. These events quickly fade from the headlines, but the destruction still remain . Many people around the world. including several John Carroll students. have gotten involved in relief efforts already. lt is important for more people to follow their example and join in. People need to continue to be aware of the situations and take the opportunities to volunteer. The Red Cross has combined the efforts of thousands of volunteers to build shelters for the people who lo t their home and citie . Donations of food, clothing and money are being sent to the Red Cross, but they are still in dire need of generosity. The Red Cros took out $340 million in banks loans and is still trying to rai e another $400 million. Now that the initial donating frenzy has subsided, more help is still needed. JCU's Campu Crusade for Christ raised money this week through a free concert asking for donations, while the JCU Graduate School old carnations and gave the money to hurricane relief. When it comes to volunteering time, Habitat for Humanity is one of the main organizations involving students on campus. This spring. they are planning a trip to South Carolina called "Collegiate Challenge" to help with the rebuilding in the south. For students who are unable to travel, the group is planning to build a house on the Quad and ship it to Biloxi, Mi s. as soon as funds are available. Additionally, Campus Crusade for Christ is planning a trip to New Orleans in December. They are CUITently accepting applications for students who want to connect with Loui iana residents who need new homes .The trip is planned for Dec. 17-23 and is in connection with the Catholic Charities. If your wallet is feeling light and you aren't able to travel to a devastated area, there are plenty of opportunities in Cleveland and on-campus to lend a hand to those in need . We are all ble sed to be attending a Jesuit University. To paraphrase the Bible, "To whom much is given, much is required."

It's a virtual breeding ground for knowledge and eventual wealth- if you're Tim Russert. There's even a children's section upstairs for those of us who prefer pretty illustrated pictures.

The way I sec it, if you're in the library, then you fit into one of several unmistakable categories. First, there are the people who actually use the library for studying. These people are probably going somewhere in life, and I hope God blesses their journey. The actual scholars are not to be confused with students from the Boler School who, at any moment, can be heard complaining about how hard college is. These kids should take their never-ending saga to the Boler Business Lab, where all the other number crunchers are hard at work on their first ulcer. Then, there are the computer users, most of whom have signed onto instant messenger and come up with the very clever away message that reads "library." In the rare occurrence that anyone actually needs a computer for educational means, these are the people who leave their bag on a computer chair and put up Blackboard -a very deceptive move. The next category, which often includes the computer users, is the nomads. They are versatile and can often be mistaken for college dropouts. You'll notice them from a distance, make eye contact and count on a I 0-minute conversation chronicling their latest test, drink specials on Lee Road and the latest gossip. But the pen in the ear move will fool most anyone into thinking a nomad is just taking a break from brainstorming their latest literary masterpiece. My last and arguably favorite category of Grasselli Library users are individual students who take up entire tables with books, notebooks, laptops, bags, purses and pretty much anything else that will prove to the general public that the table is occupied.

Zero tolerance attitude causes more harm than good Katie Mahoney Editorial & Op-Ed Editor Intolerance has turned into a massive problem in our world. Last week, riots broke out in Paris after two teenagers were ki lied when lleeing from police. Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy responded to these riots by saying the country ha a "zero tolerance" policy toward violence. The youths rioting also have adapted a zero tolerance policy towards the authority' handling of the situation. These two absolute views of"no violence" and "no authority" are hitting each other hard and causing the situation to ignite even more. No tolerance exists between these two groups of people. This has become a worldwide issue that, unfortunately, is growing more intense by the day. Many people choo e to ignore the fact that hate, racism and intolerance surround us every day in society. · Truth is, we've become comfortable hearing offensive slang and ignore rude symbols that might be drawn onto walls on campus. If people don't become aware soon, this could lead to harming our united country. I am not condoning the behavior of the rioters. They have lost complete control and are destroying property and attacking people that are no way related to the deaths that caused the uproar in Paris. However, I do understand their frustration about the deaths of the teenagers and agree that action needs to be permanently taken. I am also not condoning the actions of the authority in this situation. Having a zero tolerance policy should not mean using violence and aggressiveness to handle people who themselves are being violent and excessively forceful. A new solution needs to be reached . Absolute views prevent compromises. If these riots are going to stop then the adolescents and the authority need to let their guard down and be open to discussion. This is also crucial to achieving tolerance. Tolerance is not seeing those differences, but rather seeing everyone as equal, yet unique. By looking at the situation from this angle, a compromise could easily be reached. This is someth ing all people of society should adopt and follow. Many people believe themselves to be tolerant and accepting. For some this is true. However, our ociety ha become so comfortable with racial slurs and offensive language, it's hard to distinguish tolerance. Without a world of tolerance and communication, people will eventually ruin society as we know it. Hopefully, we will be able to step back, change our way of thinking and change our viewpoints. This is our only chance to live. Some are wasting their talent and energy on punishing authority or acting out violently as a way of self expression. People should take a cue from the late Rosa Parks. She used a peaceful means of expression to act out against intolerance. We need to use more communication and discussion in order to resolve the problem of intolerance that plagues the world. Contact Katie Mahoney at: [email protected] Poker, NASCAR and horse racing ... real sports? Physical theater at its finest, these moment · are living, breathing cog in our national con ·ciousness. But for how much longer? Recently. televised sport have been poisoned by an evil more corrosive than qeroids, pointshaving and George tcinbrcnner combined. It's the influx of non-sports and the case with which they find airtime. Case in point: the World Series of Poker. Desprte the bastardization of the phrase "World Series," thi event is not a :port. Poker is slightly more" portsy" than pm-the-bottle, but light years bchmd things like horseshoes and Jenga. Also, it's gljmbling. You get banned from real sports for gambling, yet the object of poker i to gamble. No disrespect to Kenny Rogers, but I'm plenty good at flushing money down the toilet on my own. If you really want to lose cash fa t, try driving through Univer ity Heights at 38 mph. Another non-sport? NASCAR. Here come the angry e-mails. But, I don't care. Driving a car is not an athletic feat. If they were driving to a stadium and then running around the track. well, then, that would be different. But no. They're ju t pushing a pedal. Sports en1ail running. jumping, diving and, in some ca es, biting your opponent' ear off. But my problem with NASCAR don't end with its lack of physicality. How about afcty? How about cars going nearly 200 mph? Our culture grumbles over cxy adverti ing, but kid can "watch sports" and see a fiery car wreck. lsn 't that what every 8-year-old needs? To see his idol burned alive in the Toys R Us 400. Then there's horse racing. This mainly exists for those compulsive gamblers who, if not for sports, would bet on the weather. But seriously, do you really think young colts dream of winning the Preaknes ? No. Horses have few ambitions in life. The e are: to gallop, to avoid the glue factory and, in some very rare cases, to be the talking star of a I 960s itcom. And with all thi mes about what constitutes sport, you'd think we could rely on the experts-the Olympic , Jesse Owens, Kerri Strug, the 1980 U.S. hockey team. The e performance have defied the odd , in pired the human pirit, and transcended geopolitics. But, lately, even the Olympics have begun to lose it. The Games announced they will di continue baseball and oftball in 2012. That's right. Baseball isn't a sport, but shooting is. And it makes sense. Why should a kid be working on his curveball when he could Jearn to shoot with deadly precision from hundred of yards away? Inevitably, I'm going to get a letter saying, ''I'd like to see you do what these 'non athletes' do." And I can't. But I also can't sing "Dixieland" in Hebrew or eat 30 hot dogs in a minute. If "Jake can't do it" were criterion for sport, we'd all be watching "Find Your Car Keys" on ESPN2.
