University Computing said two members of the Washing- ton and Lee community have been warned about sharing full- length movies using peer-to-peer programs on the network Once found out, the illegal distributor and the school can both face criminal charges, which, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, carry a maximum jail sentence of five years and up to $500,000 in fines. John White, University Computing HelpDesk man- ager, stated,“It’s going to be an ongoing issue.” File shar- ing continues to be a popular use of ‘network resources, yet students have to be more careful about their actions. “What we’ve tried to do is create policies for students who aren’t abusing the system,” said White. For instance, the university will not cut off a student account unless the student absolutely refuses to stop uploading illegal files. Students can be brought up on charges of an Honor Violation only if they promise to comply with university policy and continue abusing the network. Director of University Computing John Stuckey re- vealed that copyright protection company Mediaforce scanned and logged the address of two KaZaA users with copies of Fellowship of the Ring, a Warner Bros. release. The company then sent e-mails to the school, and it was up to University Computing to determine the users’ names and issue cease—and-desist letters. Abroadcastemailsenttotheer1tireschoolonOct. 10 mentionedtheuseofpopulartilesharersbutdidnotcomment on copyright infiingement cases. Past cases included two students last spring who were separately caught upload- ing Simpsons episodes and Disney’s The Lion King. Inthepast,theReoording IndustryAssoc.ofAmerica also sent notices for song swapping. According to statistics on Mediaforce’s website, movie piracy costs U.S. movie com- panies over $3 .6 billion a year. Univeristy Computing encourages students to configure their file sharing applica- tions to limit uploads to zero in order to prevent the possibility of future incidents or litigation.

The.College Republicans have been actively involved in lo- cal politics in the weeks leading up to Election Day on Nov. 5. This year, the group is attempt- ing to strengthen the relationship between members of the University and the Republican Party, on both the local and national level. Last Monday, College Repub- A licans attended a Youth Rally on the steps of W&L’s Alumni House. The Rally featured Senator John W. Warner ‘49, U.S. House Repre- sentative Robert W. Goodlatte ‘77 L, Virginia Delegates Christopher B. Saxman and H. Morgan Griffith and Virginia 24th District Delegate Candidate Ben Cline, who have all been traveling throughout Virginia in recent weeks. Cline is running against Demo- crat candidate Mimi Elrod, wife of the late W&L president John Elrod. A repeat of their recent tele- vised debate will air on University Cable Channel 2 tonight and Wednesday at 7 p.m. Approximately 20 students participated in the Rally, which was declared by College Republi- cans Executive Director Megan Zingarelli, ‘O5, to be “very suc- cessful.” College Republicans boasts over 600 members on cam- pus. Washington and Lee students were joined by cadets from Virginia Military Institute, as well as sev- eral Lexington residents.

John Warner made an appearance at last Monday’s College Republicans rally. The event, intended to drum up area support for local and state races, was sparsely attended. dents were given signs declaring their support and enthusiasm for the politicians. Students were re- cruited from the crowd to stand be- hind the speakers. Goodlatte was the first to ar- rive, and so also the first to address the crowd. Each of the candidates spoke briefly, choosing instead to focus their attention on speaking to the members of the crowd indi- vidually. All of the political partici- pants have ties to the University, and expressed their fond admiration for the school and its students. This Saturday, 12 members of . the College Republicans traveled to Martinsburg, W. Va., to partici- pate in the campaign of incumbent Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito. Capito is competing against Democrat Jim Humphries in West Virginia’s 2nd District in what has been declared to be one of the closest and most competi- tive congressional races in the nation. Student participants carried signs in support of Capito and marched in the Annual Apple Har- vest Festival Parade through downtown Martinsburg. “We really made a difference by getting her name out,” stated College Republicans President John Heath, ‘O4. W&L volunteers were joined by members of College Republican groups at the University of Vir- ginia and James Madison Univer- sity, as well as local residents. The College Republicans plan to continue this increased level of activity as the year progresses. Next Saturday, members will be traveling to southwestern Virginia in order to participate in a “Youth Unity Rally” for Jay Katzen, Re- publican candidate for Congress. College Republicans will con- tinue to participate in campaign workshops and plan to bring speak- ers to campus within the upcom- ing months. AMONG SCHOOL CHILDREN BY ANDREW LATIMER NEWS EDITOR “Caution” was the operative word during last Monday’s debate on Iraq, held at the Virginia Mili- tary Institute. The forum featured Gen. An- thony Zinni, special envoy to the Middle East, who commanded the attention of the audience. Speaking at full-volume to a filled Jackson Memorial Hall, Zinni did not budge from his anti-war stance as he deemed the stalled Middle East peace process more im- perative than taking down Saddam Hussein. “He’s a bum dictator,” Zinni quipped. During the forum’s question and answer session, he added, “If we are willing to risk 100,000 troops in Iraq, why not throw our weight around where it matters (in the Middle East)?” The event, entitled “Casus Belli: Why we go to war—The United States and Iraq,” gave new life to an aheady well-wom topic. Fellow pan- elist Patrick Lang, a consultant to sev- eral major news networks, remarked that‘ the sentiment inside Washing- ton is that war is inevitable and delib- eration has been limited. Lang and Amb. Read Harmer were the only two speakers frrrnly in favor of conflict with Iraq. “We’ve given diplomacy a decade, and it’s good enough for me,” Hamner said of a peaceful resolution. Both called a conflict with Iraq crucial to fighting al—Qaeda, and Harrmer speculated that Iraqi-built nuclear devices would eventually find their way into the hands of terrorists. Brig.

Asst. Prof of Law at Washing- ton and Lee Mark Drumbl analyzed the ramifications of conflict with Iraq upon international law. He ultimately . concluded that acting with the in- tention of a “preemptive strike” will “lower the bar” for an acceptable war, leading to increased turmoil and a world order built upon armed con- flict. , V Speakers drew upon lessons learned from history, as Hamner com- pared current times to 1939 and the rise of Hitler. Along with moderator and assoc. professor of international studies Lt. Col. James Hentz, Hamner said post-war actions should mirror the Marshall Plan that followed World War H. The panel entertained ques- tions from VMI cadets, W&L stu- dents and Lexington residents for the final half—hour of the 90-minute event.

Boland, who directs Stanford’s Creative Writing Program, has written eight books of poetry. BY MATTHEW MCDERMOTI EDITOR IN CHIEF A new program has matched tutors with more than 30 students needing academic assistance. The Peer Tutoring Program, operated out of ' the Dean of Freshman’s Office, pairs upperclassmen tutors with “students who may be struggling, to assess where those struggles are,” said Freshmen Dean Dawn Watkins. Students volunteer for assistance, or are referred by donn counselors or professors. “I refer at least one or two students per week throughout most of the term,” Associate Dean of the College Jeanine Stewart said. Stewart helps trains tutors and reminds faculty about the prograrn’s availability. The Dean of the College’s Office payed for the training materials. However, “Watkins has taken the lead in developing this program,” Stewart said. After arriving at W&L two surrnners ago, Watkins found no comprehensive peer tutoring program existed. “Mid—way through the fall, I met with (Stewart) and proposed the idea of a tutoring program that was centralized through my office,” Watkins said. With her work, the program began last Winter. term. “Last year was the year we got this off the ground, this year is the year that we are trying to finely tune it,” Watkins said. Watkins currently coordinates the peer tutors for her Office, designing handbooks, maintaining and monitoring the program and assessing results. . Assistant Head Dormitory Counselors Dan Tortora and Lincoln Rose assist her, overseeing the tutor’s database and assigning them to students. “About 30 students are being tutored, and we expect that number to rise significantly due to midterm grades,” Tortora said. “The majority of students being tutored are freshmen, probably because the program is part of the Freshman program, but the Peer Tutoring Program is not at all limited to freshmen.” Foreign language, math, and biology tutors are in high demand, Tortora said. Potential tutors were sent applications over the summer. “Upperclass students, usually recommended by theirprofemors, appliedtobetutors,”Tortorasaid “Each department approved orrejectedthose applications and classes the applicants wislbd to “All tutors are nominated by members of their major department, or another department where the student has done a substantial amount of high caliber work,” Stewart said. “This resource supplements others, like working with the professor during office hours, or meeting with a study group.” Tutors, who are unpaid, work with students from 60 to 90 minutes a week. Last week, they attended an hour-long training. Watkins and Stewart, who presented, deliniated the goals and limits of tutoring, presented scenarios and explained the availability of professional , resources. , Tutors were given a handbook containing a Study Skills diagnostic, which was keyed to sections related to etfective study and time management OCR::/Vol_105/WLURG39_RTP_20021021/WLURG39_RTP_20021021_002.2.txt Z E-mail news briefs to.‘ BFA announces its new name, plans for Lexington-area food drive The five chairs of the Black Female Alliance voted last week to change the organization’s title to the Human Rights Alliance as an effort to make students “more comfortable” about joining. “Our name gave the campus an excuse to reject us. Now they’ll have to judge us on our objectives only,” saidj unior chair Marinda Harrell. The HRA will continue to work for diversity and unity on campus. Several students and faculty members com- plained that the former name implied exclusivity, although members pointed out that since day one “anyone could join.” The first item on the HRA’s agenda is the kick- off for their 3,000-bag community-wide food drive, NEWS which is a collaborative effort with the NAACP, MSA, Nabors Service League, Rockbridge County High School, IFC and the Greek system at-large. Coordinator and HRA chair Melanie Barr ’04 said the collection area will extend eastward from Goshen all the way to Buena Vista. Barr stated that the HRA will work with other student organizations to recruit drivers and place donation boxes in freshman dormitories. The drive’s first meeting will be held in Fairfax Lounge on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. ‘Good Morning America’ to broadcast live from downtown Lexington ABC made local headlines last week with the decision to broadcast its morning show, “Good Morning America,” live from from Lexington On Veterans Day, Nov. 11.

Different backgrounds, different cultures, different upbring- ings, different religions, different races, different viewpoints. It’s a lot more ‘ glo- balized’ in that sense than I ever thought it would be, judging from the limited information I had (brochures and gossip, more or less). However, I’ve noticed a ten- dency in our international students to stick together. Personally, I think a huge fountain of knowledge and op- portunities for sharing and enjoying each other’s differences are being wasted. There’s a lot an international student can learn from someone who has lived in this country all his or her life; conversely, American students come to college to be exposed to a diverse environment and there’s no better source to learn about the world than someone who’s lived elsewhere in it.

After some background research, I found two broad themes echoed by most people I interviewed: the first was dislike of the opposite sex and the second was recognition of the preva- lent hooking-up scene. “The guys/girls here suck!” I have heard this phrase more at W&L than anywhere else. Perhaps people say it out of frustration, perhaps out of despair, or perhaps because they haven’t found the right person for them. But, it is statistically impossible for all of the guys or girls here to be terrible. There is no shortage of de- cent single people on campus. I think that this phrase reflects more on our severely fragmented student body. Students should ask themselves the question: “How many people have I honestly tried to meet this week . ” Ifyou are not a freshman, your answer will prob- ably be pretty low. After freshman year, W&L students tend to establish social circles with staying power. It seems that dating pools (and friendships, which are more important anyway) would expand if students would more readily venture outside of their customary groups. COMMON SENSE ONATHAN WORTHAM Also, it is clear that W&L is on the hooking-up system. Hooking up, rather than dating, is acommon way of finding that special someone. Obviously, both systems have benefits and drawbacks. But, in my conversa- tions, I didn’t find any girls who didn’t want <04 to go on dates—or guys for that matter. Use this infor- mation to your advantage! If the people I talked to are telling the truth, why is the hooking up system so much more popular than the dating one? Perhaps it is convenience, per- haps students have too much aca- demic work to go on dates, but, most likely, people are apprehensive about asking each other out. Datefunctions manifestthisapprehen— sion I’mnot sure why W&Lhas somany date functions (we should cut back to one peryear,Ithink),butitseernsthatthenum- berofpeopletakingadateisonthedecline.
