Cincinnati Mayor
Calls End to Curfew
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI - Promising to make
police more accountable, the mayor lift
ed a citywide curfew Monday that
helped end days of rioting over the
police shooting of an unarmed black
man.
“Now that the disturbances have sub
sided, they must never occur again,"
Mayor Charles Luken said. “We have
an opportunity for anew Cincinnati.”
However, the mayor did not lift a
state of emergency, which allows him to
impose curfews and other restrictions.
The 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew was
imposed Thursday after three nights of
arson, looting, attacks on white
motorists and clashes with police.
Dozens of people were injured, more
than 800 were arrested and arson dam
age was put at more than $200,000 in
the worst racial unrest in Cincinnati
since the 1968 assassination of Martin
Luther Kingjr.
The streets were mosdy quiet over
the weekend, and city officials had
hoped to lift the curfew because it was
hurting businesses.
The curfew was scaled back to 11
p.m. Sunday to allow more time for
Easter celebrations.

were religious, business and community
leaders who have been discussing ways to
address underlying causes of the violence.
“If we put our heads back in the sand,
that sand will once again grow hot with
rage. The opportunity will be lost,” said
Ross Love, speaking on behalf of black
community leaders.
The Rev. Damon Lynch, a black cler
gyman, said the city’s black youths do
not know how to channel their anger.
“They just feel like nobody’s listening,”
he said. “Their anger is not just at offi
cers, but their own black leadership.
The feeling is we’re not listening, and
we have to turn that around.”
Luken said he will appoint a com
mission to look into solutions. Unlike
previous groups, he said, the panel will
be able to oversee implementation of its
plans. That would require City Council
approval.
The City Council planned to meet
today to discuss demands by black lead
ers for a city ordinance allowing officials
to bypass Cincinnati police officers and
firefighters when hiring new chiefs.
The city charter requires chiefs to be
promoted from the ranks, but black
leaders say that perpetuates problems.
The 1,000-member police force is 28
percent black; the city of 311,000 is 43
percent black.

Report: Government Web Sites Track Users
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - People who log
onto dozens of federal government Web
sites may be unknowingly tracked
despite a privacy policy forbidding it,
investigators say.
In one case, a government contractor
was even given ownership of all the infor
mation collected from a Web site, said the
congressional report released Monday.

CP&L officials said they did not think
the appeal by Orange County would be
successful. “The NRC and ASLB have
already determined our plan is safe and
responsible,” said Keith Poston, the
spokesman for Progress Energy, which
owns CP&L. “We expect additional court
action by Orange County, but believe the
courts will side with the NRC.”
But some commissioners are optimistic
the ruling will go in the county’s favor.

Grabiner said the remaining time slots
will be filled by an array of student vol

wanting to come out and participate in
the events,” Grabiner said.
Grabiner said the event serves as a
reminder to students to learn from the past
and prevent such a tragedy from occulting
again. “This is one way we can educate
people about the travesties that happened
less than 100 years ago,” she said.

For example, the report said NASA
has not determined how many Web sites
it operates so officials do not know how
many might be gathering the informa
tion.
The report, culled from audits of 16
agencies, found 64 federal Web sites used
files that allow them to track the browsing
and buying habits of Internet users.

the matter,” Commissioner Moses
Carey said. “We feel we’ve invested
enough in this to go the next step and
appeal. I expect them to reverse the
appeal and then get a public hearing.”
Hannah said Orange County was
within its rights to appeal the decision,
but he and his staff feel the CP&L plan
is safe. “We decided the license amend
ment filed by CP&L can be used safely,
and we still feel this way,” Hannah said.
The third cooling pool at the plant
should be fully operational by the mid
dle of this year, and the fourth pool will
not be needed until several years down
the road, CP&L officials said.
Poston said the appeal would not
impact CP&L’s expansion plans yet.
her the importance of remembering those
who died as a way to ensure that there
would never be another Holocaust. “To
me, it’s really important because it’s great
to see something the entire school can be
involved in and aware of,” she said.
After Moeser stepped down from the
microphone, he spoke of the importance
of the event as a way to remind students
of the fact that each person who died was
an individual, a point he said should not
be forgotten. “It’s a touching and sober
ing thing to read those names,” Moeser
said. “When you talk about the
Holocaust, you talk about 6 million indi
viduals, rather than just a group.”
Some of the events that will round
out the schedule this week include a pic
ture display in the quad Wednesday
tided “Children of the Holocaust,” and
used such unauthorized files, as did
NASA and the General Services
Administration, the report said.
It did not estimate how many people
may have visited the sites. But the com
pany Jupiter Media Metrix, which tracks
Internet usage, says government sites are
popular.
Ari Schwartz, senior policy analyst
for the Center for Democracy and
Technology, which follows privacy
issues, called the report troubling.
But some groups, such as the N.C.
Waste Awareness and Reduction
Network, feel expansion could result in
a major accident.
Jim Warren, executive director of N.C.
WARN, said he believes Orange County
has a very strong legal case but might not
be successful because the NRC was “too
closely allied with the nuclear industry.”
But Poston said a major accident is
not likely and CP&L is simply expand
ing a way of storing spent fiiel that has
been used safely for years.
“It’s a process we are confident in,”
he said. “It’s the industry standard.”

Svoray went undercover several

Grabiner said the overall goal of the

“Generally, when we think about pri

House, Payne said he knew they were
coming. “I think their arguments are
flawed,” he said. “We come very pre
pared to the table.”
Payne added that he has been to all
16 campuses in the UNC system. “I
think (the argument that students do not
visit all the schools) was an exaggeration
of the truth.”
Adams said she thinks the objections
were made for the wrong reasons. “I think
people are just reluctant to share power.”
Adams said she is pushing this bill
because these students will be North
Carolina’s future leaders. “They will
have our seats.”
Rep. Cary Allred, R-Alamance, who
voted against the bill, said his main con
cern is over the balance of power.
“I think it would change the balance
of power on the Board of Governors,”
Allred said.
He said the other members of the
board work extremely hard to get elect
ed by the legislature and a student vote
would not be fair to them.
Allred added that he sees a potential
conflict of interest with a student mem
ber placing a vote on issues concerning
student fees, tuition, and in-state
requirements.
Allred said a student would have a
personal interest in keeping tuition low,
causing a student to have a conflict of
interest.

General’s Office,” Talley wrote.
But Hill said Newcomb’s decision
does not automatically exonerate Talley.
“Honor Court charges have been
dropped, that’s true,” he said. “But I
don’t necessarily agree with his assess
ment that that vindicates him.”
The e-mail in question linked
Chaney’s campaign to an e-mail sent by
a former Carolina Fever President and
UNC alumnus Davin McGinnis that
characterized Songer as dishonest and
deceptive.
Under elections laws, any slanderous
actions by a campaign could be consid
ered grounds for disqualification.
Songer attempted to have Chaney
disqualified on the grounds that his
campaign’s actions did irreparable dam
age to his own campaign.
But the board opted to hold a re-elec
tion to settle the dispute.
Board of Elections Chairman Jeremy
Tuchmayer told the DTH last week that
the conclusion of this matter would
have no bearing on Chaney or Songer,
but would only answer lingering ques
tions.

TELESCOPE

bicentennial celebration in 1993.
SOAR’s Chilean telescope magnifies
and gathers light to make images more
intense by focusing in on one point. In
collaboration with other universities and
national observatories, researchers will
be able to detect images from SOAR and
follow them up with the SALT telescope.
“Intentions for the project are to
make UNC one of the leading universi
ties in research of astronomy in the
world,” Christiansen said.
Junior physics and astronomy major
Adam Crain, a computer programmer
for the SOAR telescope, said he is excit
ed and amazed about what researchers
are going to observe from the ground.
He also said UNC astronomers will
be able to obtain images from the
Chilean telescope over the Internet. “It
is not practical to travel back and forth
from the countries because traveling is
time-consuming,” he said. Crain is cur
rendy working on software that controls
the telescope from the Chapel Hill area.
Although sufficient funds have not
yet been obtained for the collaboration
of this project, UNC researchers and
astronomers still anticipate its scientific
advancements as a landmark for the
future. Clemens said, “UNC is engaged
in pushing back the boundaries of
knowledge with tools as competitive as
Harvard (University),”
