" " ' rl J v ;,' i Scalia to preside over Moot Court by Melissa Peerless Daily Staff Reporter United States Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will preside as chief justice for the University Law School's annual Henry M. Campbell Moot Court Competi- tion finals. Associate Dean Edward Cooper originated the idea to invite Scalia to the University. "We would like to have a Supreme Court justice on the finals panel each year. Last year, we invited Justice Scalia, but he couldn't fit it into his schedule. This year, he was able to accept our invitation," he said. Cooper added that Law School Dean Lee Bollinger decided to invite Scalia because he has never visited the University before. Participants in the competition will argue three rounds of cases in front of panels composed of promi- nent legal figures. Scalia will sit on the panel for the third round of competition, which will take place April 6. The question for the first- round was handed out last Thursday. The competition is open to sec- ond- and third-year University law students. While it may seem intimidating for law students to try their hands at arguing cases in front of a justice, Cooper said he does not expect stu- dents to be more nervous than in previous years. "I think there will be a little bit of extra excitement and anxiety, but the judges are always very distin- guished and able. In a way, I think it will be more fun for the students to argue in front of such a strong court," he said. However, some participants in the contest said that the presence of Justice Scalia has altered the atmo- sphere of the competition. Third-year law student Michael Warren said, "The competition will be stiffer earlier on in the contest because Justice Scalia is only judg- ing the finals. Some people joined just because he is going to be here." Warren added that Scalia is held in very high esteem among in the law school students. "The general feeling at the law school is that Scalia is the brightest, most intellectually honest justice on the court. It's quite a motivating0 factor to do particularly well. We think of him as the God head of le- gal analysis," he said. E N'EST PAS ASSEZ D'AVOIR L'ESPRIT BON, MAIS LE PRINCIPAL EST DE L' APPLIQUER BIEN. It is not enough to have a good mind, but most important is to apply it well.

NEWMAN Continued from page 1 chair of the Research Policy Commission, a research oversight board which reports directly to the Vice President for Research. "I think that probably my major qualification is the amount of time that I've spent on the faculty, the fact that I've spent 21 years here now and I have a strong basic expe- rience in faculty administration of different types. "The second (qualification) that graild opellilig! is not that obvious is ... that the word research means scholarship in all different areas that faculty are involved in. Although I'm one per- son and I have a specific background in one specific position, I feel that I have commitment to all research ar- eas - including those in non-funded research. That doesn't make me dif- ferent from the people who came before me, but I want to emphasize that," Newman said. Newman's own research in neu- ral and atomical studies and behav- ioral psychology has made one of her major goals encouraging multi- disciplinary research. "The University traditionally has in my view... fostered interdis- ciplinary research in a wide variety of ways. For example, it used to be that multidisciplinary research might be the result of the integra- tio-j of programs in closely-related fields such as biology and engineering. "But the kind of multidisci- plinary programs that we are now fostering... bring together people from schools and colleges that may never have interacted before," Newman said. Newman's recent research, which centers on the hearing and chemical senses program, has been funded by an extended grant - the Jacob Javits Neuroscience Investigator Award. In addition to her vice presiden- tial post, Newman spends Tuesdays and Thursdays at the medical school continuing her research. And, in addition to her hours of hard work in the laboratory, Newman's work was complicated by a personal tragedy. CONTRACT Continued from page 1 future. This question was voted on in case the contract was not ratified. "It also shows solidarity within the union," said Alan Zundel, a bar- gainer for GEO. "Without the support of our members we are screwed, we have no recourse," said a GEO member who wished to remain anonymous. Oko showed no surprise at the outcome of this vote. "It's very early in the semester, and people are concerned about the effect it would have on their students if there was a strike." 'If I had to put any one element on her it would be that she is simply a wonderful person. Anyone who dislikes Sarah Newman simply has something wrong with them' - William Kelly Vice President for Research While doing much of her re- search, Newman nursed a husband sick with amyotrophic lateral scle- rosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's dis- ease. ALS is a debilitating disease that strikes the nervous system, ul- timately leaving the body unable to function normally. There is no known cure. "This line of research was work that I started when I came to the University in 1970. My husband, who I married in 1981, had ALS," Newman said. "But at the time, it seemed that the best use of my knowledge and that I personally have been a victim of sex discrimination here at the University. I feel that I have had tremendous opportunities to ad- vance my career," Newman said. "But the fact speaks for itself that we don't have as many women in high administrative posts as would be appropriate to reflect the number of women in the faculty. I personally am anxious to help this office pay attention to the opportu- nities for women to move into lead- ership roles." Rather than engaging in active protest, Newman said she has tried my expertise was with research on the system that I had worked on previously, rather than redirecting my research toward ALS. Another factor in that decision was that at the time, my energies were very lim- ited, because I was taking care of him at home during the time that he was ill. "My research efforts recently have included how hormones influ- ence nerve cells, so I feel like I am contributing to the broad area of treating ALS," she added. Although Newman said that she never has felt discriminated against by the University, she believes a problem exists in the low propor- tion of women occupying high posts in the administration. "Personally, I think that it's re- ally fair to say that I have never felt to set an example for other women. "I don't claim that I have been a member of the various organiza- tions, but I have chosen instead to act as a role model. I have devoted the time and energy I had to being a role model to women medical stu- dents and predoctoral students," Newman said. In addition to the confidence with which she tackles her work, Newman is rather soft-spoken and quite friendly. Kelly made it clear that Newman has more to offer than just intelligence and experience. "If I had to put any one element on her it would be that she is simply@ a wonderful person. Anyone who dislikes Sarah Newman simply has something wrong with them," he said.
