"If drinks hadn't been served at that party, then there wouldn't have been any accident," he said. "This is the most far-reaching part of the lawsuit. It has the greatest effect for good." Cantor also filed a lawsuit in August against Peter Johnston, who built the loft in Courtney Cantor's room. The lawsuit claims Johnston did not use proper care when designing and construction the lofts and also failed to warn Courtney Cantor about potential dangers of the loft. Johnston's attorney, Judy Moskus, denied the allegations against her ,client. MARTIN Continued from Page IA Martin served on a committee formed by Bollinger in Feb- ruary 1999, to look into the financial problems of the athletic department. Budget plans released last summer revealed the department to be in S2 million deficit. "As a result of that, he has as much knowledge as anyone about the intricacies of athletic finances," Bollinger said. Bollinger said he plans to release actual numbers within the next few days. "We may still face a continuous set of issues surrounding the investigation we started and concluded over a year ago around Mr. Ed Martin. We are waiting to see what will evolve out of the U.S. attorney's office," Bollinger said., Despite his various business commitments, the interim director said he plans to prioritize his position at the University. "I won't spend any more time on outside activities," he said. "This is my full-time job here." Martin's term begins today, pending approval from the University Board of Regents, who will meet March 20. He said his first order of business is to meet the staff. "I want to let them get to know me," he said. But Martin said he does not plan to become the permanent athletic director, and has indicated that he does not wish to be compensated for his term. Assistant Athletic Director Mike Stevenson, whodhas been with the athletic department for 30 years and worked with six athletic directors, said he is excited to be able to work with Martin. "We've got the best man that we could possibly have," he said. Assistant Athletic Director Warde Manuel expressed a similar sentiment. "I think he'll bring a tremendous amount of knowledge to the table, in terms of Olympic sports and how things are done, on a broader international and U.S. perspective, and I think that'll be a value to the University and I think he'll be able to fold in very quickly some knowledge of what happens at a collegiate level." Manuel and Stevenson are serving on a transition commit- tee that Bollinger appointed March 1. Vice President and University Secretary Lisa Tedesco, who is chairing the committee, said the committee is only to serve as a resource to Martin, and he will have the same authority as any past athletic director. "The athletic department and interim athletic director will be the entity, but as that individual needs some resources or some information, we've been around long enough to provide the interim with background information," Tedesco said of the committee. -Daily StaffReporters Raphael Goodstein and Jon Zemke contributed to this report. .MIC IGADAILY.COM v r .

"I am a son of the South, the old segregated South. Those of you who marched on Bloody Sunday set me free, too," Clinton said before walking acr the bridge arm-in-arm with Coretta Scott King, widow of Rev. Martin LutFa King, and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) who was badly injured in the 1965 marh. Lewis, who marches every year to mark the anniversary, invited Clinton to join him this year, Clinton's last in office. Brutal images of the ugly violence on the bridge galvanized many far o6tside the South to the civil rights movement, and helped win support for the Voting Rights Act. On March 7 that year, Alabama state troopers and sheriff's deputies used tear gas, nightsticks and whips to break up an attempt by blacks and white integra- tionists to march 50 miles to the state Capitol in Montgomery to protest the denial of voting rights to blacks in Selma. Some marchers retaliated with bricks and bottles. Lewis, then chairmanof t Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was among 17 blacks who weW hospitalized.
