student names and contact information

"We thought we would be getting
these much earlier - originally in
December when (the University)
received the first notice," Bernard said.
The RIAA announced last Wednes-
day that 477 new lawsuits were
brought against alleged illegal file
sharers. In addition, 69 of the lawsuits
were against people using University
networks. Fourteen schools, including
the University of Michigan, were cited
as having illegal users.
"It remains as important as ever that
we continue to work with the Universi-
ty community in a way that is respect-
ful of the law as well as University
values," said RIAA President Cary
Sherman in a written statement.
But both Peterson and Bernard agree
that the University would prefer to take
an educational approach to the situa-
tion, and encourage clarification of
questions surrounding file sharing.
"We've encouraged the RIAA to let
us continue taking our educational

she thought Davis did a "fantastic"job.
"His speech was more than adequate.
You don't need a big name to speak at
Michigan if it's a good speaker," she said.
But LSA graduate Adam Paterno said
that, although he liked the speech, he did
not think Davis was the best selection.
In a letter to The Michigan Daily
beforehand, Paterno explained his rea-
sons of disapproval of the University's
choice of this keynote speaker.

approach instead of taking a litigational
approach, but they have chosen to take
the litigation strategy," Bernard said.
"We have consistently had education-
al programs since Napster first came on
the scene, and I anticipate that we will
continue this because this is just an
issue of our times," Bernard said.
"Our faculty and their colleagues
have very provocative ways of thinking
about issues regarding file sharing."
ResComp Director Jeffry Wright
said ResComp plans to slightly alter
the educational program it sponsors
during summer orientation.
"The main change we're planning at
this point is that we'll actually mention
that some University of Michigan stu-
dents were subpoenaed. It's a real risk,
not something that we're saying just to
scare people," Wright said.
He added that ResComp will spon-
sor programs in the fall to promote
computer smart and safe computing.
"We've been doing something about
file sharing or being a bandwidth hog
for at least three or four years. We're
just tweaking it a bit to make known
the fact that actual students got sub-
poenas," Wright said.
"(Paterno) expressed considerable
doubt -about my suitability as a public
speaker, along with the concern that my
distinctly minor-league status would
bring down the whole tone of this glori-
ous occasion," Davis said in his speech.
Paterno said he was not directing his
anger at the speaker but rather at the
University administration.
"I don't want to hear about someone
who is successful without an education.
It was not appropriate for that type of
day," he said, referring to Davis' incom-
plete studies at Wayne State University.

NEWS
BOOK FAIR
Continued from Page 2
April 23 with a series of short talks
and readings in the Rackham
Amphitheater.
Despite a low student turnout at the
event, those who were in attendance said
they enjoyed it because it was a good
study break. "I like that it's a fun thing to
do during finals," LSA junior Heather
Radke said.
Radke said she enjoyed herself
because there were so many different
books and authors at the festival. "I'd
like to see it continued in the future," she
added.
The street fair included many differ-

ent discussions, workshops and activi-
ties. The main stage was located in the
Modern Languages Building Auditori-
um 3, and it featured readings by nation-
al and regional authors, such as Chris
Crutcher, Christopher Paul Curtis and
Charles Baxter.
The events began in the morning with
a panel discussion titled "The Book that
Changed My Life." The discussion
included University President Mary Sue
Coleman, Head Football Coach Lloyd
Carr and English Prof. Thylias Moss.
Meanwhile, others were enjoying the
warm weather and checking out the
numerous booths along North Universi-
ty Avenue. Many vendors thought the
book festival was good for business

because there was such a large turnout
of people. "It can only help because it
gives us more visibility," said Shaman
Drum employee Jeff Jordan.
Jordan said he hopes the festival will
become an annual event - especially
because improvements will come with
experience.
Dickinson said she is already thinking
about next year, and how the festival can
be improved.
She said she would like to have many
of the planning committees in place ear-W
lier and elicit more student participation
through writing contests. She also wants
to have a more formal author selection
process and attract some bigger name
authors.
