Bonfire inquiry needs more time
More money required to complete investigation
Drumming up support
By Erin Sherbert
Daily Texan (U. Texas at Austin)
USTIN, Texas (U-WIRE) - Investigators of the
1999 Texas A&M Bonfire collapse said Tuesday that
they will need more time and money to complete the
investigation, which was originally scheduled to con-
clude on March 31.
Although investigators didn't specify by how much
they will exceed their $1 million budget, the Bonfire
Commission plans to ask the university for the funds
next Tuesday.
Jon Zagrodzky, a consultant with McKinsey & Co.,
a management and consulting firm providing the com-
et sion with pro bono assistance, said because the
nare of the investigation and research is so complex,
future work is difficult to plan, and findings may
extend schedules and budgets.
He added that a few uncertainties, such as the num-
ber of interviews required, are preventing investigators
from knowing how much money is needed to finish the
job.
"Basically, anytime you find that there is a lead, you
have to follow up - at this time we can't be precise
about how many of those we are going to end up
doing," Zagrodzky said. "Every time you add another
interview, it not only adds time to the budget but cost
as well:"
Leo Linbeck, chair for the commission, said
although he's anxious to complete the work, extending
the investigation deadline is necessary in order to effi-
ciently make a final conclusion.
"I suspect we could jump to conclusions today and
not be certain about the validity of those conclusions
and satisfy the people who desire a quick answer' he
said. "But the larger issue is how can we be thorough
enough in order to assure that the outcome is one
based on fact and truth rather than speculation and
hypothesis."
Also at the meeting Tuesday, the investigating firms
presented their findings thus far and their future plans.
Kent Lietzau, chief of staff for McKinsey & Co.,
said the teams have completed 40 percent of the inves-
tigation and analysis stage, adding that the next step is
to begin team reports and develop possible hypotheses
for the collapse that killed 12 and injured 27 in
November.
"A hypothesis development is in the near future -
taking the pieces to the puzzle they have collected and
begin exploring various options, various sequences and
various possibilities that may have occurred," Lietzau
said
He added that the commission will not start a final
report until the teams meet to discuss their individual
reports.
Fay Engineering, the team investigating the Bon-
fire's historical design, has completed log density tests
and finished analyzing photos of the structure from
1928 to the present.
Lietzau said Fay also conducted a rope experiment,
in which the team selected a portion of a one-inch rope
similar to those used in the Bonfire, kept it in tension,
then twisted and tightened the rope as it normally
would be in building the Bonfire.
"As you tighten the rope, you pull up some slack,
but at the same time you will stretch the rope, and the
top of the structure will be pulled toward that location
as well - which means other ropes will be tightened
and stretched," Lietzau said.

Wisconsin students criticize police
Madison-area police
arrested anti-sweatshop
activists Sunday
By Andrew Krueger
The Daily Cardinal (U. Wisconsin)
ADISON, Wis. (U-WIRE) - In
the wake of Sunday's mass arrest of
anti-sweatshop sit-in participants in
University of Wisconsin's Bascom
Hall, arrested students criticized the
actions of law enforcement officers
at the scene and in the Dane County
Jail.
Wisconsin sophomore David
Ernesto Alvarado, one among the 54
s ents arrested, said the police
re onse was unnecessarily intimi-
dating.
"They knew we were peaceful,"
Alvarado said. "For them to come in
full riot gear ... it was very intimidat-
ing. I remember thinking, 'they can't
be serious."'
Alvarado said the sometimes-light
atmosphere during the arrests
masked fear.
"Just because we were laughing
doesn't mean we were having fun,"
Alvarado said. "We were afraid. Our
only response was to laugh."
Several protesters complained
about the use of pressure point holds
and rough treatment while being car-
ried out of the building.
"It seemed to be very gratuitous,"
said Wisconsin graduate student
John Peck, who was not arrested but
compiled a list of complaints against
the police. "A lot of people felt they
were like guinea pigs for the police
to practice on."
.
Junior Ben Runkle, one of seven
protesters in self-applied U-locks
intended to prevent removal from the
premises, said police applied force to
his throat and chin to get him to spit
out the key even after he had given
in.
"It was quite a few seconds of me
saying 'take it, take it' (before they
did)," he said.
University police were unavailable
for comment Tuesday. But, Letters
and Science Dean Phillip Certain,
who observed the arrests, discussed
what he saw.
"The police were concerned that
the students were prepared to attack
them," he said. "They had heard the
students were collecting vinegar and
fire extinguishers."
Certain also said pressure points
were used in some cases, but.-said it
is standard procedure.
Allegations of misconduct also
arose from the time demonstrators
spent in jail.
Alvarado said his brother, also
arrested, required medication. He
said medication was brought to the
jail, but not given to his brother until
he left the jail at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Dane County Sheriff Gary Ham-
blin said it is standard procedure to
hold back and verify delivered med-
ication, since it could possibly differ
from the label on the bottle.
Hamblin said medication given to
prisoners usually comes from jail
supplies.
Some protesters reported trouble
with the jail phones, including
inability to access certain numbers.
Hamblin said no such blocking
existed Sunday.

Study shows half
of students cheat
i
By Lauren Wiener
Daily Northwestern (Northwestern U.)
EVANSTON, III. (U-WIRE) - In
the arena of academic dishonesty,
colleges and universities nationwide
are facing a discrepancy between
policy and practice.
Half of all college students admit
to having cheated at least once dur-
ing their undergraduate careers,
according to a recent survey con-
ducted by Ball State University in
Muncie, Ind. At Ball State and at
other schools, cheating occurs
despite outlined academic integrity
policies.
To address the issue, Pennsylvania
State University is designing a new
academic integrity policy.
"We had a long-standing policy
that was very elaborate," said John
Cahir, vice provost and dean for
undergraduate education at Penn
State. "We became dissatisfied with
it because we detected widespread
sentiment that it was too complex
and bureaucratic."
The new policy will allow the fac-
ulty to make the final determinations
regarding consequences of cheating.
"By having the primary agents as
professors, it becomes a
teaching/learning situation," Cahir
said. "It becomes a more positive
experience for the student, one they
can learn from."
Although professors and teacher's
assistants may monitor exams, their
job becomes difficult when hundreds
of students take a test together, stu-
dents and administrators said.

Reilly said the SCC opposes the plan
for a panel. "Our condition is it would
be best to keep it open for everybody at
all times," Reilly said, referring to the
group's position that the space be turned
into a cultural lounge.
"They've misconstrued our reason
for being here," Reilly said. "They've
turned it into a question of office space
when it is a question of equal treat-
ment."
Delgado said tomorrow is the last
day Michigamua will sign an agree-
ment "until at the very least the middle
of next week."
Members of the senior honor soci-
ety Phoenix, which has meeting space
on the sixth floor of the Union, deliv-
ered a proposal to all parties involved
in the Union takeover yesterday. The
proposal calls for SCC to vacate the
tower immediately and for Phoenix to
regain access to its meeting room
while a dialogue takes place to "create
an appropriate contract and evaluation
system to examine allocated space to
all student organizations."
Phoenix members said they are
open to whatever decision the Univer-
sity makes regarding space allocation
but feel only the administration should
exercise jurisdiction over the issue.
"The key is that it's the administra-
tion's decision -- no one else should
make a decision but them," said
Phoenix member Jon Malkovich, an
Engineering senior.
Phoenix members said they believe
SCC's petition, delivered to University
officials Feb. 4, is a representation of
the importance of student concerns,
even if it may threaten their privileges.
"It's important to examine issues
that are important to students on cam-
pus," said Tracey Parker, a Phoenix
member. "But like we said before,
we're leaving no stone unturned."

over Martin, Marc Antony, Lou Bega
and Andrea Bocelli to win the award
for "Brand New Day," the title track
from his newest album, which was
also awarded the Grammy for Best
Pop Album.
Elton John was presented with the
Lifetime Achievement Award and
introduced by friend Billy Joel. Elton's
career spans several generations and
genres, as he has received both Gram-
my and Oscar awards.
Beating out Lauryn Hill, Macy
Grey, Brandy and Mary J. Blige, Whit-
ney Houston walked away with Best
Female R&B Vocal with the song "It's
Not Right But It's Okay." The veteran
diva's performance, which was one of
the night's highlights, featured some
impressive choreography by the dozen
or so dancers accompanying her on
stage.
Will Smith opened the telecast with
an energetic, albeit poor, performance.
Following was the night's host Rosie
O'Donnell, whose opening monologue
proved that this talk show host has
become a little rusty at stand-up come-
dv. The monoloQue's few highlights
mances appeared unenthusiastic and
lacked the energy that the evening's
award show desperately needed. Even
Kid Rock's set, a medley of "Only
God Knows Why," "Bawitdaba" and
Grand Funk Railroad's "American
Band," fell short despite ample energy,
perhaps due to the short time length
allotted to his performance.
Awards not presented during the
three-hour telecast, comprising 88 of
the 98 total Grammys, were handed
out to older acts as well. The award for
Best Female Rock Vocal was given to
Sheryl Crow for her cover of Guns 'N'
Roses' "Sweet Child O' Mine." Best
Hard Rock Performance went to vets
Metallica, with "Whiskey in the Jar."
Lenny Kravitz took home the Best
Male Rock Vocal for "American
Woman" and, rounding out the rock
categories, Beck won for Best Alterna-
tive Music Performance with his
album "Mutations," while the Red Hot
Chili Peppers won Best Rock Song for
their hit, "Scar Tissue."
The only categories to pay respect
to new artists were those in the rap
genre and, of course, Best New Artist
to teen "genie" Christina Aguilera.
