"Having Michael (Franzese) here showed the viewpoint from the other side of the tracks," Gragg said. "It was very beneficial and something most people haven't seen before. Most people never see the person who was actually in the back- rpom, doing the gambling." The University also made it clear that the big leagues of college sports, such as football and basketball, aren't the only places gambling can happen. Tanja Wenzel, an LSA senior and member of the swim team, attended the conference and said it was made obvious to her that the University is not ready to fold despite the problems of Northwestern - a Big Ten neighbor. "They wanted us to recognize gambling is a problem, even though a lot of people don't see it as that," Wenzel said, adding that gambling is often viewed as a problem only in high-profile sports such as football and basketball. "Now we say, 'Wow, it's out there, and it could be a prob- lem' ... it could easily happen to us. For those who couldn't see the conference first- hand, other arrangements were made. "Our coach videotaped it," said hockey player Josh Blackburn, a Kinesiology first-year student. "We're all getting together to watch it." Madej said the access to gambling - especial- ly over the Internet - is unbelievable, and not something that the University can pretend to avoid. "If you don't think 'it can happen here, you've got your head in the sand," Madej said. AROUND THE NATION SPEAK Continued from Page 1' control and fighting against the situa- tion. "It is not enough to be supportive. You have to be active," she said. "There is a place you can go, and there are peo- ple who care." The night's guest speaker Audrey Warren, a poet active in women's issues, read her poems with back- ground music enhancing the stories she portrayed. She urged women to end the silence. "We speak out against silence" Warren said. "Silence is the silent part- ner of sexual abuse." .. Mayo's Critical Care Nurse Internship Program provides the education and skills you will need to be a competent critical care nurse. The program is designed for professional nurses who are entering critical care nursing. Mayo's Critical Care Nurse Internship Program is offered annually or semi-annually by the Mayo Department of Nursing. The program includes two phases: Phase I - An initial placement in a paid position on a medical/surgical patient care unit in a Mayo hospital for one year. Phase II- A tuition-free 12 week paid internship divided into two parts: Classroom Sessions, Skills Laboratories and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (96 hours/15.5 days). Clinical Specialty Assignment with a Preceptor 02 weeks). Critical care at Mayo Clinic will expose you to opportunitites and experiences that cannot be replicated. Mayo has more than 170 critical care beds on 10 critical care units, numerous stepdown beds, and an Emergency/Trauma Unit, which is a designated Level I regional trauma center. The application deadline is February 1, 1999 with program start date of July 1999. E-MAIL Continued from Page 1 reviewing a proposed University policy, governing computer usage, Rezmierski said. The policy, which is expected to be signed in the coming weeks, will include stronger language but will still be somewhat vague. "Our hope in doing this is to support the guidelines that have been in place for some time, but also to make them a little stronger so that they're clearer, and people can understand when they want to get a message out whether it's appropriate to use the e-mail system to do that or not," Rezmierski said. Creating the policy also will allow the University to enforce rules regard- ing proper computer usage. "If it's policy, when there is inappro- priate use of any of the systems, if a complaint comes in, we follow up and ... we inform people that what they've done is a violation of University policy and that it needs to stop," Rezmierski said. "And if there's any repeat of it ... then we would take additional action." ITD officials did not specify what sort of punishments would be pursued, but stressed the need for a cooperative effort on the part of University mem- bers to comply with the policy. "I didn't want to get into a punitive approach," said Jose-Marie Griffiths, ITD's chief information officer. She said she's "just trying to get people to be a little bit cautious." Currently, someone who wants to get a list of addresses to send out mass e- mail must go through a data steward, Rezmierski said. With the new policy, an e-mail sender "wouldn't get the names unless your request, which has to be spelled out, meets the criteria," she said. "It has to be official University business. "It has to be time critical," RECYCLE THE DAILY. D"AILY.

" " " " G " " Rezmierski said. "The message has to be needed by the recipients, not just of interest." The new policy does not apply to. voluntary e-mail lists, she said. And the system will still allow lists to be creat- ed, but ITD highly recommends acquir- ing permission from all recipients. "There are also mandatory lists, which can be established within acade- mic or administrative units." But these mandatory lists will be required to have a moderator, "so that people are not sending off-topic infor- mation to people who are on mandato- ry lists," Rezmierski said. Griffiths said the University "has an urgent need" for such action, due to recent complaints about mass e-mails concerning book solicitations and foot- ball ticket sales. If the University doesn't respond to such misuse of the system, Griffiths believes "it'll only increase." Engineering senior Amy Cazeault said she thinks a tougher policy is a good idea. "I had, like, 50 messages in my e- mail that day just from football tickets," she said. Solicitations, Rezmierski said, are not the intended use of the e-mail sys- tem. "That's a totally inappropriate use of our system," Rezmierski said. "We don't want the University community to be under that kind of bombardment." MSA Rep. Mehul Madia said the new regulations are necessary. "What we don't approve of is organi- zations that send blanket c-mails across campus because that really doesn't accomplish anything," said Madia, an LSA junior. Some students doubt the impact the new policy will have on students' e- mail habits. "I don't know how successful they'll be at it," Cazeault said. POLICY Continued from Page 1 ronment, it also stressed each presi- dent's individual authority and respon- sibility to his or her organization. The changes depend on each presi- dent's commitment to making this work, said Wes Cornwell, president of Theta Chi. In Theta Chi, "there are definitely going to be some changes in risk man- agement ... it's the smart thing to do, said Cornwell, an LSA junior. Henry, an Engineering senior, said he believes the Greek system will take issues seriously because disregarding the policies will hurt the Greek community. "I think we have a duty to ourselves that the Greek system remains a domi- nant force on our campus." Henry said. The meeting comes shortly after the death of LSA first-year student Courtney Cantor, who was drinking at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity hours before her death. The fraternity's national organization revoked Phi Delt's chapter last week. Holeman and Cornwell said the Greek system needs to work together to avoid other incidents similar to this. Cantor's death brought the issues to the surface, even though it was "not directly related to the death," Holcman said. He said alcohol "was a problem before, but now it is an open problem." Holeman said he believes the Greek system, as a prominent campus group, can help bring campus drinking under control. The rules were agreed upon because there is a need for reinforcement, Gray said. Sorority and fraternity presidents are concerned about the safety of their members, she said. The changes discussed cannot be expected to happen overnight, Cornwell said. In a large Greek system like the University's, changes will require time and effort. STUDENTS WITH CROHN'S DISEASE OR ULCERATIVE COLITIS Please join Dr. Ellen Zimmermann Asst Professor of Gastroenterology, U of M for an informal discussion MIT drops cases against fraternity BOSTON - The manslaughter case against an MIT fraternity in the drink- ing death of a freshman effectively ended yesterday because the frat has disbanded and there is no one to answer the charges. Last month, prosecutors took the extraordinary step of bringing manslaughter charges against Phi Gamma Delta - the organization, not its members - in the case of Scott Krueger, who drank himself into a coma at a party and died. Since no individual members were named in the indictment, the case quickly unraveled when the fraternity disbanded. Yesterday, the Superior Court mag- istrate who had issued a warrant against Phi Gamma Delta filed it away in case the fraternity tries to reorga- nize at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Pamela Wechsler, assistant district attorney, conceded the case is over AROUND THE Gunmen fire on funeral of young girl PRISTINA, Yugoslavia -- Sharpshooters believed to be part of a government security force fired on gravediggers and several hundred mourners and journalists at a funeral Sunday in central Kosovo for an eth- nic Albanian boy who was believed slain by Serbs on Saturday, said wit- nesses and Western diplomatic observers. Four U.S. diplomatic observers were among those present Sunday in the village of Krajkova, 18 miles west of Pristina, where the boy's family lives. But they declined a request from his relatives to use the observers' armored car as a shield during the funeral. The observers, who were unarmed, said they could not ensure the family's safety and drove off after urging the family to bury him else- where. The incident, which came two days before a NATO-imposed dead- line for the Yugoslav government to withdraw its security forces from for now but said it wasn't all for naught: The charges drove the frater- nity off campus and prompted MIT to change its alcohol and disciplinary policies. "A lot of things have happened a result of the investigation and irid ment" she said.

Jones papers raise Wiley questions WASHINGTON - With Kathleen Willey still the unplayed wild card in Kenneth Starr's continuing criminal investigation, documents unsealed yesterday from the Paula Jones lawsuit raise fresh questions about how Willey's namerongi- nally surfaced in the search by Jones' lawyers for corroborating evidence that President Clinton was a womanizer. Jones' legal team said a woman called one of their attorneys in January 97 and, refusing to give her name, said "I had a similar thing happen" to Jones' allegation that Clinton exposed himself in a Little Rock, Ark., hotel suite in 1991. But Willey, in a September 1997 affidavit, denied making the phone call or describing Clinton groping her in a small room just off the Oval Office in 1993. Starr's office of the independent counsel is investigating whether the Clinton White House used a wealthy campaign fund-raiser to persuade Willey not to pro. vide damaging evidence against the president. His ongoing investigation could yet produce criminal indictments. In addition, if Willey's story about an unwanted sexual episode with Clinto* true, she could provide key supporting testimony should an appellate court r67- state Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit against the president. . obby said that Judy got it from Rick"... ."then Rick gave it to Marcy' ... ..."
