None of that matters because through all the trials and tribulations of a championship run, the grand prize acts as a temptress, luring the teams to forget their worries and focus instead on the championship trophy waiting to be presented in Providence, R.I. "Every game you get further along down the wire, you just think about what it would be like to win that final game,'Michigan goalie Josh Black- burn said. "It's a special feeling and you can't describe it." But before they can focus on any of that, the Wolverines know they must take care of the Red Raiders first. Not only will the contest be a chance to advance to the next round, it will also be a chance for .the Wolverines to silence the doubters who only awarded them a five-seed in the tournament. It's a challenge Berenson is eagerly anticipating. "I'm excited, even though I may not show it,' Berenson said. "We're going to tell the world we're bad, and then go out there and show them just how good we really are." VEGAN Continued from Page 1 others should as well. He also spoke of issues such as health, and how it can be improved by not eating animals. Lyman said cholesterol comes from animal fat and the simplest way to cut down on cholesterol is to give up eat- ing animals. One of the issues some of the audi- ence members were skeptical of was the lack of protein commonly associat- ed from a vegetarian diet. "High protein diets have potential to destroy the kidneys," Lyman said, adding that the body does not need that much protein to survive. Lyman also devoted a large portion of the lecture time talking about the environment and how it is hurt by rais- ing animals for mass food production. "America takes 70 percent of the grain we grow and stuffs it down the throats of animals," Lyman said. If this chain continues, he said, there will not be enough natural resources to feed future generations. Lyman said the majority of farms I .n s Clothing & Tailoring Student Special: FREE shirt and tie with purchase of suit No charge for alterations Don't let the upscale look keep you from coming in.

"Ground-up feathers are being fed to chickens, and cattle are being ground up and fed to cat- tle," he said. He summed up his lecture by stat- ing, "The thing I am most proud of is that no animal had to die for me to live." "These issues are very dear to me," Engineering graduate student Anil Subramani said. LSA junior Kristie Stoick said giv- ing up meat has more benefits than just improved health. "The best thing you can do to help out the environment is to go vegetari- an." She also said students can attend lectures scheduled during Earth Week 2000 to learn more about helping out the environment. More than 300 people attended last night's lecture, the first in a series that is part of the 30th anniversary of Earth Week. The event was sponsored by the Vegetar- ian Information Network & Exchange and Michigan Animal Rights Society. SPENDING Continued from Page: 3 "We take up donations," said Jessica Curtin, the Defend Affir- mative Action Party vice presiden- tial hopeful. "We spent only a few hundred on the campaign. We probably spent the least money, but we're the most committed people," she said. Curtin emphasized the impor- tance of speaking with people instead of using gimmicks. "We have lots of support and word of mouth," she said. "It's not money, but connections." Independent presidential candi- date Hideki Tsutsumi said he has relied on constituent contact to run his campaign. "The parties are spending a lot of money and that's not right. I had $300 for the entire election but everyone's talking about me. I can save money, therefore I can help students save money," Tsutsumi said. The Blue Party also has been visible on the Diag, playing music and offering cotton candy to passersby. "If you were to include every- thing, it was around $3,700 for 39 candidates," said Elise Erickson, Blue Party vice presidential hope- ful. "That includes Diag days, fliers, posters, copying and off-campus door hangers," Erickson said. But she emphasized the impor- tance of outside help. "We had a lot of donations." Despite the spending, some can- didates said they felt the effort was fruitless. "The only problem was that the fliers were torn down every morn- ing," Blue Party representative candidate Duke Kims said. "We could have bought annoying campaign tactics, but we don't like it when everyone else does it. Fliers are ineffective and we didn't have much money," he said. Monique Luse of the All Peo- ple's Party said she hopes spending wouldn't influence how people voted. "If people don't vote for me, I'm assuming they didn't agree with my issues," she said. "I didnt want to make it about fluff. I'm hoping that people voted on issues and not what someone could do for them that moment in thle Diag" But most candidates think their spending will produce results at the polls. "People are more receptive if they know you're legit and not some guy off the street," Tietz said. CLASS Continued from Page 1 this kind of course," Horning said. "We don't teach classes on how to be Christian, or how to be Jewish or how to be Irish.: Horning said he is not considering any specific plan of action regarding the class. H alperin's class has not only gar- nered criticism from around the state, but it has received its fair share of national media attention. The conservative magazine The National Review published H alperin's course description verbatim in its March 17 issue. Above the description the maga- zine printed "U. Michigan was ranked as the 25th best university in the United States in the most recent rat- ings by U.S. News and World Reporten In addition, a reference to Justice Dept. starts e-mail imvestigation WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has initiated a criminal investiga- tion into whether the White House failed to turn over c-mails to a campaign- finance probe and then made threats to keep them secret, court documents disclosed yesterday. Among the e-mails that may not have been produced are those to Vice President Al Gore, whose e-mail account was not connected to the White House comput* archiving system, according to a statement by White House counsel Beth Nolan. The investigation comes on the heels of the recent White House admission that computer-programming errors prevented it from searching thousands of incoming e-mails from 1996 to 1999 in response to subpoenas issued by the Justice Depart- ment's task force on campaign finance and the Republican-led House Government Reform Committee. The new probe is limited to c-mails subpoenaed by the campaign finance task force, but it runs parallel to Republican charges that the White House has hidden e- mails about campaign finance, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the deadly siege of the Branch Davidian sect in Waco, Texas, and other matters of controversy. The issue quickly turned political, as Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush in Florida last Wednesday took a shot at Gore, and said, "The best can paign finance reform starts with having an administration that will adhere to the law and an attorney general who will enforce the law." Ask ACROSS THE NATiON California Latinos report poorer health WASHINGTON - Latino adults in California are more likely to say they are in poor health than Latinos in most other states, the Centers for Dis- ease Control and Prevention reported yesterday. The CDC study, part of a growing effort to understand health disparities between minorities and whites, is the first ever to provide state-by-state comparisons. Racial and ethnic disparities in health emerged as a major public health issue in the 1990s, as research showed that blacks, Latinos and s'ome Asians were faring worse than whites by many health measures. The Atlanta-based CDC provided no explanation for the disparities in its report, but previous research has pointed to differences in income, edu- cation, diet and culture -- not to race or color. The CDC study showed that whites also report significant differ- ences in health. For example, 22 percent of whites in Kentucky rated their health as fair to poor while only 3 percent of whites in the Dis trict of Columbia did. "This is a tool for states to use to see how they compare nationally, said epidemiologist Julie Bolen, th study's lead author. Fingernail bacteria linked to 16 deaths OKLAHOMA CITY - Bacteria found under the long fingernails of two nurses may have contributed to the deaths of 16 sickly babies in 1997 and 1998 in an Oklahoma City hospi- tal, researchers say. All of the babies were newborns i the neo-natal intensive care unit a Children's Hospital of Oklahoma, and all had infections caused by the same bacteria found under the nurses' nails. But researchers said they cannot be certain that the nurses transmitted the bacteria to the infants. And the hospi- tal pointed out that the babies had seriously deficient immune systems, and said that other problems played a larger role in their deaths. 9 ARouND THE WORLD A t ~ V 0 Pope pays homage to Holocaust victims JERUSALEM - Pope John Paul II, who witnessed the Holocaust as a young seminary student in his native Poland, paid personal homage to the millions of Jews murdered by the Nazis yesterday, telling an audience including death camp survivors that the lasting memory of the Jewish peo- ple's agony must "ensure that never again will evil prevail." Speaking in the shadowy gloom of the Hall of Remembrance at Yad Vashem, Israel's main Holocaust memorial, he expressed sadness at "hatred, acts of persecution and dis- plays of anti-Semitism directed against the Jews by Christians at any time and in any place." While the pontiff stopped short of an outright apology on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church for what many Jews consider the Vatican's silence, inaction and complicity in the Holocaust, he added: "In this place of solemn remembrance, I fervently pray that our sorrow for the tragedy which the Jewish people suffered in the 20th century will lead to a new relationship between Christians and Jews." Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Bara, whose maternal grandparents wet* killed in the Nazi death camp at Tre- blinka, in Poland, hailed the pope at the ceremony for what he called his "noble act" of reaching out to the Jews. Indonesian president to be interrogated JAKARTA, Indonesia - Former Indonesian President Suharto i0 healthy enough to be questioned by prosecutors who are investigating whether he and his family stole bil- lions of dollars from the government during his 32-year rule, the country's attorney general said yesterday. Suharto's lawyers have insisted that the 78-year-old former dictator, who was hospitalized twice last year after suffering a stroke, is too sick to be interrogated. - Compiledfrom Daily wire reports wVe rwe1bir11g Hundreds of educational jobs available for the 2000-2001 school year: 9 a.m.-noon screening * Secondary teachers, all disciplines 0 Special education teachers * Vocational education teachers 4 Media specialists Satxr.a * Speech therapists r Psychologists/social workers/counselors * Occupational and physical therapists 1-4 p.m. screening * Elementary and middle school teachers, all disciplines The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-9671 is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
