HIGHER EDUCATION The Michigan Daily - Thursday, February 24, 2000 - 7A 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. _ ," Anx .. 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. KI"TSUOG"'HI/Dily Jvalamukhi Dasi, Purushasukta Das and Amalaharinam Das, members of the Bhakti Yoga Club, perform a dance ritual on the Diag yesterday. 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. COUNSELORS.

"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."

GRAMMYS Continued from Page 1A 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. Honoring Eminem with Best Rap Album, the newcomer also won for child care f; persoa GREAT SUMMER COUNSELOR POSITIONS HAVE FUN * WORK WITH KIDS * MAKE A DIFFERENCE* SUMMER IN NEW ENGLAND Residential summer camps seek motivated staff in individual and team sports: Baseball, Basketball Tennis, Soccer Inline Hockey, Gold, Swimming, Sailing, Mountainbiking, Backpacking, Hiking, Canoeing, cpnrnn Rnnanje Cruen Art/ BABYSITTER needed P/T for 5 yr. old and 18 mo. old.
