gate and defend accused students -a
system Hashemi feels compromises the
defense counsels’ ability to adequately
represent their clients.
Programs Coordinator Martin Warf,
who, along with Exum, is helping train
IDC members, said the group raises
some valid issues. “There are some
problems with the system,” he said.
Warf said his concerns about IDC are
logistical, including how they will be
integrated into the system, where their
funding will come from and how much
access they can have under the Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
Lea said she does not oppose die
IDC as long as members receive ade
quate training. Lea said she has spoken
to Hashemi about training but hesitates
to endorse IDC because she has yet to
see exacdy what kind of training they
will receive.
Hashemi said while IDC’s training
will be comparable to that of the student
attorney general’s office, its goals will be
different. “We work only for the stu
dents. The office of the attorney general
is there to represent the best interests of
the student body.”
Hashemi said interested students are
welcome to participate in IDC. “To
express an interest in IDC is enough to

receive the training," he said. He said an
exact post-training screening process is
still being formulated and will be in
place by the end of March training.
Lea said the student attorney gener
al’s office carefully screens all its appli
cants to “make sure they aren’t going in
with the wrong motivation.” Lea said
this process is something that IDC lacks.
“They might not be the kind of people
who can formulate arguments, make
connections and present these connec
tions to the court,” Lea said.
Adler also is concerned about how
the quality of IDC counsels will be
assured. He said he does not think the
judicial system should be held responsi
ble if IDC.counsels perform poorly. “If
someone comes in and chooses not to
have a student (counsel) with the judicial
system, that’s their right,” Adler said.
“But they should waive their right to
claim ineffective counsel.”
Lea said the IDC has yet to collabo
rate with the student attorney general’s
office, and Hashemi sees the groups’ rela
tionship as cooperative at best. “We have
a one-way street relationship,” he said.
“The attorney general’s office must share
everything they have on our client, and
we don’t have to and aren’t going to. The
most we’re hoping for is cooperation and
getting the case done efficiently.”

circulation desk and decide we wouldn’t
accept employees from Tar Heel Temps.”
Human resources has responded to
sentiments like these by forming a com
mittee with the goal of determining
what, if any, changes need to be made to
the Tar Heel Temps’ hiring policy.
The committee is composed of
human resources employees and officials
from the Department of Public Safety.
“The first meeting is March 12,” said
DPS Director Derek Poarch. “We are
going to take a look at how the whole
process of background checks is run.”
But Maynard said there are limita
tions to how much the Human
Resources Department can do. There
are issues of privacy and civil rights
involved, along with possibly discour
aging qualified applicants.
“I think it’s legitimate for students to
have security concerns,” he said. “I
think our policy has pretty good balance
SHOOTING

bloodbath at Columbine High in
Littleton, Colo., where two teenagers
killed 12 fellow students and a teacher
before committing suicide.
Student John Schardt, 17, was in a
nearby classroom when the shooting
started about 9:20 a.m. in a boys’
restroom and spilled into a quad.
“I looked at the kid, and he was smil
ing and shooting his weapon,” Schardt
said. “It was total chaos. People were
trying to take cover.”
“This is my worst nightmare,” Principal
Karen Degiescher said. She said that the
campus will be closed Tuesday and that
counselors were called in to help students.

in looking out for the safety of students
and the groups we are responsible to
and the rights of the workers. There
does need to be a balance, and that is
the real work of the committee."
Hewitt said that while he wants
changes in the hiring policy, he under
stands the limits. “I like the idea of crim
inal checks on anybody, but apparently
that’s not easy to do,” he said. “Tar Heel
Temps has to deal with a lot of people.”
He added that this was UNC libraries’
first bad experience, and in the past Tar
Heel Temps provided excellent employ
ees. “They really provide a great service to
this University.”
Maynard said expanding the definition
of a position of trust was challenging on a
campus with so much access to computers
and information. “If we consider access to
information as a way to measure a posi
tion of trust, lots of our employees have
that,” he said. “A lot of the stuff is public
access.”

Classmates and acquaintances of the
boy described him as skinny and the
subject of constant harassment. Students
said he boasted about owning a gun.
Over the weekend, the boy “was jok
ing on and off that he was going to come
to school and shoot people,” saidjoshua
Stevens, 15, a friend of the boy. “He had
it all planned out, but at the end of the
weekend he said he was just joking and
he wasn’t really going to do it.
“I should’ve stepped up even if it
wasn’t true and stuff to take that pre
caution,” said Chris Reynolds, a 29-
year-old who is dating Stevens’ mother.
“That’s going to be haunting me for a
long time; that’s going to be with me for
a long time. It just hurts, because I
could’ve maybe done something about
it.”

Cheney Hospitalized
With Heart Trouble
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Vice President
Dick Cheney underwent surgery
Monday to reopen a partially blocked
artery after checking into a hospital with
chest pains. It was the same artery that
had been cleared last November after
his fourth heart attack.
There was no evidence that Cheney
had suffered another heart attack, said
his cardiologist, Dr. Jonathan Reiner.
The doctor also said he did not believe
Cheney had suffered more heart dam
age.
The vice president, 60, had quickly
resumed a full schedule after last
November’s operation.
“There is a very high likelihood he
can finish out his term in his fully vigor
ous capacity,” the doctor said after
Monday’s procedure, which was an
angioplasty.
But he added, “He has chronic heart

and artery disease.”
Reiner said there was a 40 percent
risk the artery would narrow again.
Cheney checked himself into George
Washington University Hospital, about
six blocks west of the White House, after
feeling chest pain on Saturday and
Sunday and then again, twice, on
Monday, Reiner said.
He said the episodes were “much
milder and very brief” when compared
with the chest pains that Cheney suf
fered in November. “The symptoms
were subde” this time, Reiner said.
Cheney attended a birthday party for
Alan Greenspan Sunday night, capping
a weekend in which he and his wife
moved into the vice president’s resi
dence, the U.S. Naval Observatory.
In Monday’s angioplasty, doctors
inserted a flexible tube carrying a col
lapsed balloon into the narrowed artery.
Once the balloon was in place, it was
inflated, reopening the artery.
involvement can improve lives, it
should be explored further as a means
to treat the sick.
But despite criticism that faith-based
initiatives mix religious affairs with med
ical causes, Koenig insisted the two
would remain separate. “The issue of
trying to put your beliefs on someone
else is not at stake.”
