4 Tuesday, April 17, 2001 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. Joining Luken at a news conference What LSAT course did students at the top 25 law schools take?

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. LSAT 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. The scope of the problem has not NRC From Page 1 federal Court of Appeals. 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. “We’ve never accomplished our ini tial goal of getting a public hearing on NAMES From Page 1 and football head coachjohn Bunting. Grabiner said the remaining time slots will be filled by an array of student vol unteers. “I’m glad that people are still 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 Education, Treasury, Energy, Interior and Transportation departments 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.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. a presentation and discussion of the film “Europa, Europa” 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in 105 Gardner Hall. Israeli author and journalist Yaron Svoray will give a lec ture called “In Hider’s Shadow” at 7 p.m. Thursday in 111 Carroll Hall. Svoray went undercover several years ago as a Nazi sympathizer in hopes of exposing a growing neo-Nazi movement in Germany, Europe and the United States. Grabiner said the overall goal of the week’s events is awareness. “It’s good for people to see that we do this year after year to remind them that people care about what happened and wish to preserve the memory.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.

VOTE From Page 1 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. The State and National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. BOARD From Page 1 involvement by the Student Attorney 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.

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),” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
