DEANNA McINTYRE /Associate photo editorBill Garrett (left), retired editor of National Geographic, speaks to David Jorns, President ofEastern Illinois University, and Annette Samules, assistant professor of Journalism about a solidsilver necklace. The necklace (in Samuels hands) is from the Mong people. Silver is theircurrency and families have silver bars made into jewelry. Garret delivered the keynote addressat the “Publishing the Next Edition” campaign celebration Saturday.

A career as a journalist takescourage and persistence but results inrewarding opportunities to do somegood and have fun, said Bill Garrett,retired editor of the NationalGeographic and keynote speaker of thePublishing the Next Editionjournalism campaign.
Garrett spoke to an audience ofabout 75 Saturday about his career andthe changes that occurred in the fieldof journalism throughout history.
“If ours really is a noble profession,why would I say it takes courage to getinto it? One of the reasons it takescourage to get into journalism is thepublic’s low respect for our field,”Garrett said.
He said the tabloid writingtechniques are spreading intomainstream journalism and beingaccepted as the truth.
“Journalists get blamed for a lot ofthings,” Garrett said.
He gave examples such as the O.J.Simpson trial and the recent death ofPrincess Diana. Garret said the publicblames journalism for the immensecoverage of these events, but the publicforgets to take any responsibility fortheir appetite for this sort of news.
“Unfortunately this sort of behaviorhas led to the introduction of two newbills in Congress,” Garrett said. “Thesebills are not only a threat to the FirstAmendment, but they areunnecessary.”
Speaker: Public has littlerespect for profession

Eastern President David Jorns Fridayrefused to discuss documents listing asubstantial mark-up on parts and suppliesfrom Facilities, Planning and Managementstating the documents must be presentedafter going through the “proper”procedure.
CUPB member David Carpenterpresented documents listing the amount ofmoney the university paid for items andhow much the Facilities, Planning andManagement is charging departmentswithin the university for the items. Thedocuments were distributed to CUPBmembers during its meeting.
Carpenter said the documents state theFacilities, Planning and Management Plantis charging 50 percent more than theoriginal price the university paid for certain
items.Various departments on campus
purchase their supplies from Facilities,Planning and Management Plant.
Carpenter would not reveal who hereceived the documents from and Jornssaid even though the documents werepublic information, the method ofpresentation was a “violation of policy.” Hesaid in order for the council to recognizethe documents, Carpenter must go throughthe proper procedures by obtaininginformation via the Freedom ofInformation Act.
One of the documents Carpenterdistributed contained the selling prices ofjanitorial products that Facilities, Planningand Management charged in fiscal year1997 and the price that the university paidfor the products.
Documents point to product mark-ups by university
Chalk (one box) $.49 $1 Plaza wax (one box) $52 $67.75 Carpet prespray (one gal) $4.88 $9.10 Spray buff (one gal.) $6.07 $8.30One entrance mat $34.44 $42.Taski Wiwax $61.22 $81.40 S.O.S. pads (box) $1.99 $3.55

According to the document, theuniversity paid $.49 for one box ofchalk and the Facilities, Planningand Management’s selling pricewas $1 per box. One container ofplaza wax cost the university $52and they sold the item for $67.75.One gallon of carpet prespray costthe university $4.88 and the physi-cal plant charged $9.10 for onegallon. One gallon of spray buffcosts the university $6.07 andFacilities, Planning andManagement charged $8.30. One
entrance mat cost the university$34.44 and the physical plantcharged $42.
Jorns asked repeatedly whogave Carpenter the documents,saying someone must have“jumped the tracks” in order toobtain the information.
“When it is discovered who didit (released the documents), theywill be written up,” Jorns said.
Carpenter said the concernregarding overcharging of theitems stems from members of
Facilities, Planning andManagement.
“I have discovered a keen inter-est across campus,” Carpenter said.
Jorns told Carpenter during theCUPB meeting that he does notrepresent the Facilities, Planningand Management workers and ifthe workers wish to express theirconcerns to the council, they mustgo through their representative,CUPB member James Nantz.
Jorns was not available for fur-ther comment after the meeting.

The CUPB also unanimouslyapproved a motion to support theUniversity Professionals of Illinois’Campaign to Restore CompetitiveSalaries for Public UniversityFaculty and Staff.
CUPB member Jackie McGrathsaid that the campaign was support-ed by Student Senate. CUPB mem-ber James Tidwell said that FacultySenate also supported the cam-paign.
Ted Weidner, director of facili-ties, planning and management,presented a ranking sheet forCapital budget items and the coun-cil was asked to decide if theyshould be included in the capitalbudget request to the state and pro-vide a numerical rank for each pro-ject.
Weidner said providing movable
equipment for Booth Library is theone of the top priorities. He said heis hoping that the library will be“successfully” equipped by fiscalyear 2001.
“We have the planning money,”Weidner said.
McGrath asked how long someof the projects have been on the listand Weidner said the Life Sciencecomplex renovation and expansionproject, the Physical Science reno-vation and expansion project andthe Fine Arts center renovation andexpansion project have been on thelist for four years.
“We have to be persistent andkeep what we want on the list orelse the Board (Illinois Board ofHigher Education) will say youdon’t know what you want to do,”Weidner said.
He said that a list of the equip-ment needed for the library must bepresented the IBHE.
The council unanimouslyapproved a motion to make sureeveryone on campus is representedby a CUPB member and is able totake part in voting for the represen-tative.
CUPB member David Carpentersaid he was concerned because
numerous workers at the physicalplant do not know who their repre-sentative is and did not have achance to vote.
“The university tries to run rep-resentatively,” said EasternPresident David Jorns. “The onlyway to make sure is to exercise theballot.”
Jorns also presented a prelimi-nary report on the research onremodeling/renovation versus main-tenance costs.
He said there are three levels ofprojects to be looked at. The firstone is “work,” a bid with the use offacilities, planning and manage-ment, such as providing draperyand carpeting in buildings. The sec-ond level is a bid using facilities,planning and management and abid review would be required. Thiswould involve projects such as anew darkroom lab and replacingfluorescent bulbs. The third levelinvolves projects that cannot bedone by facilities, planning andmanagement.
“There is a great deal of workinvolved (in the research),” Jornssaid.
The council also voted to sched-ule their next meeting for May 8.

“The truth is, for all of itsweaknesses, journalism hasimproved since its early days,”Garrett said.
Garrett also pointed out thatthe low pay journalists receive isanother reason it takes courage toenter the field.
He also said journalism haschanged in the past and has beeninfluenced by bureaucracy. Hesaid when he began working atthe National Geographic, therewere 30 photographers on staffand one vice president; today,there are five photographers and35 vice presidents.
“These platoons (of adminis-
tration) are more concerned withthe bottom line than the by line,”Garrett said.
“The third reason it takes a lotof courage to get into journalismis the invisible shield has beentaken down,” Garrett said.
He said 159 journalists were inprison in 24 countries last yearand 27 were murdered.
Garrett spoke on his ownexperiences as a photographerduring the Vietnam War. He saidit was a difficult task becauseboth the military and the govern-ment were against journalists atthis time.
“If politicians were as coura-
geous as journalists, we wouldn’thave gotten into the mess.”
Garrett said the press in theUnited States was up against thetotally controlled press inVietnam.
“No matter where you are youwill be fighting the battle of thepeople who want to control thepress and those who want to keepit free,” said Garrett said.
Garrett advised journalism stu-dents to take advantage of theireducation.
“Your education at Eastern isreally like a prep school, but yourreal education begins when youleave here,” Garrett said.

“Nothing is more damaging to a newtruth than an old error.
–Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
today’s quote
Commission should serve crimes’ justice
The Student Government is writing a series ofconstitutional changes to address executive
accountability.The changes would require the five executives
that receive tuition waivers to meet with theiradviser monthly for a performance review. Thesenate should include a stipulation to make thereview findings public.
The changes would better outline the role ofexecutives and create astructure for performancereview.
Currently, the StudentSenate constitution has a detailed definition forthe offices of student body president and studentvice presidents for financial and public affairs.However, the positions of student vice presidentsfor academic and student affairs are less defined.
The constitutional changes will provide stu-dents with a yard stick to measure their electedofficial’s performance. The changes would alsomake the executive officers aware of the jobsthey are being asked to perform.
However, the senate should take extra steps toensure the validity of the review sessions withtheir adviser. The best way is to make the find-ings of the review session public.
If an executive member was found to beincompetent, the officer would lose his or hertuition waiver or be asked to step down. Thiswould ensure executive members use their officeto serve students, and not for a free education.
Making the reviews public would also let stu-dents know what their elected officials are doingright. By making the findings of the reviews pub-lic, the senate would increase students confi-dence in the work of the whole StudentGovernment body.
The student body’s confidence in the StudentSenate would increase their ability to serve thecampus. With public review sessions, studentswould not be able to complain that each senatemember is not fulfilling their duties.
Also, by recording the findings of the reviewsessions, the senate can bypass any possibleabuse of the review process.
The senate has made accountability the cor-nerstone of constitutional revisions. Without anextra measure candor on the part of the senate,the revisions will not improve student’s impres-sion of the senate.
Editorial
To the editor:I am writing this letter to respond to
Christopher Deline’s letter of April 14. Iwould like to commend Christopher fortaking the time to express himself. Ithappens so often that people who haveproblems or concerns with StudentSenate sit around and complain. So, Iwant to thank you for caring enoughabout your department and school to letyour voice be heard. Unfortunately,your problems and concerns were withme. Hopefully, when you have finishedreading this, I will have addressedeverything you were concerned about.
First of all, at last week’s meeting,my point in saying that my RSO andhall council did not have any commentson this issue was just to answer thequestion all the senate members wereasking themselves. “Why are we justnow hearing about this issue.” I was nottrying to say that I do not represent theentire student body. However, I wassaying it is difficult to get feedbackwhen everyone you have talked to thatyou represent and the other people youhave asked say they are not affected ordo not comment at all. As senate mem-
bers, when we do not know much aboutan issue and the students we talk to donot comment, we depend on presenta-tions. Unfortunately, I was told yourpresentation kept getting pushed backfor whatever reason. This is why somany senate members were in the darkon the issue. Yes, it is our job to getinformation from the students. Yet, ifwe do not know that there is a problem,how can we address it? If we wouldhave had a presentation, we could havethen went on to write a resolution onbehalf of the students. Speaking withstudent vice president for public affairsRundle, she said the merger ISinevitable. What we need to concentrateon now is to make sure that neither theseparate departments or any promisesare lost in the merger.
You also stated that I said I did nothave time in my schedule to addressconcerns of students. This is not correct.What happened was you stated that weshould go to all the students’ classesand get input from them. In response, Istated “We are senators, but we are stu-dents first.” We all have class also andgoing to all the botany and zoologyclasses is not realistic, but we are will-ing to work with you to get input from
the students in another way. I realizethat this can be taken the wrong way,but it is a very valid point that needed tobe stated. That is why I tried to makesure you understood we would still liketo get input from other students, but in amore realistic way. If you interpretedmy comment as me saying I have notime for students, I apologize. Nexttime, I will try to be clearer.
Again, I am sorry that you misinter-preted me, but if I really did not care, Iwould not have talked to the presidentof the zoology club after the meetingand a graduate student from the depart-ment at 8 a.m. on the next day. Rundle,other senate members and myself haveset up meetings with the dean and planto attend botany club this week to getinput. We are currently working veryhard to get everyone to come to a con-sensus. If you have any input or if I canhelp you in any way, feel free to call meat 581-3939.
Just as a point of information, execu-tive officers get tuition waivers, NOTsenate members. I have been a dedicat-ed senate member for approximatelytwo years and I feel that my compensa-tion is that I am doing somethingimportant for the student body.

The South African TruthCommission set up last year
to investigate the atrocities of theapartheid era has now arrived atits most difficult junction. Whatdoes it do as regards to P. W.Botha? He led the State SecurityCouncil for 10 years and was alsohead of state until 1989. Duringhis presidency, draconian lawswere instituted against the blackmajority. Activists like SteveBiko and others lost their livesfrom the hands of Botha’s security forces.
If activists like Winnie Mandela could be draggedbefore the TC for the despicable murder of ‘Shorty’ andothers opposed to the Winnie Mandela Football Club, thenBotha’s refusal to come before this body to tell all that heknows on the murders and burning of human rights anddemocracy activists is putting himself above the law.Apartheid, which he vigorously defended, is long dead andburied.
Now is the time for reconciliation and this is what theTC is set to do. Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, uncles,aunts and orphans want to know the circumstances of thedeath of their beloved. The Africans cannot absolve them-selves of the indignities perpetuated on the black majority.Seekers of equal rights and their champions must not sitidly by and allow Botha to get away with not testifyingbefore Archbishop Tutu’s Truth Commission set up by theMandela administration.
If Thabo Mbeki, the vice president of the new SouthAfrica, and other members of the African National Counciland others can be brought before this commission, Bothamust be forced. This is the cost of freedom. The blackmajority want reconciliation. The world is waiting for thefull report of this inquiry. If Tutu cannot deliver due to theintransigence of Botha and other members of theNationalist Party, then this new republic will be hamperedin its effort to build a multi-racial, multi-ethnic country.
Buthelezi, the leader of theIncatha Freedom Party wentbefore the tribunal. He was astaunch supporter of Botha, evenin the face of Botha’s securityforces brutality against his peo-ple. A reactionary leader whoenjoyed financial support fromBotha’s government knows whenhe arrives at a dead end. Thecourt in Pretoria must be seen todo the right thing. The right thingis for Botha to be brought before
the commission or he should be jailed for contempt. Age is no reason why he cannot testify. He and his gov-
ernment committed crimes against the South African peo-ple, black, white and colored, and now is the day of reck-oning. If tribunals are set up for crimes against the Bosnianpeople, the crime of genocide in Rwanda and the UNinvestigation of crimes against defenseless Hutus andTutsis in Congo-Zaire, this tribunal in South Africa owe itto their people to take testimony from everybody who par-ticipated in the killing of thousands of people who justwanted to be part of their country.
The world wants to believe that South Africa under theAfrican National Congress and Nelson Mandela will be amodel of democratic governance in Africa. We all want anindependent judiciary, rule of law, a buoyant economywhere every individual will be judged by the ‘content oftheir character’ and what they bring to society.
Africans, especially those under tyranny and militarydictatorships, are keeping an eye on the commission. Theywant to see the final report and institute such a body forfuture investigation of crimes against their people. We can-not say it enough. The rule of law must be paramount inevery society irrespective of continent or historical experi-ence.– Olatoye Baiyewu is an English graduate assistant andsemi monthly columnist for The Daily Eastern News.

and Wilb Walker’s.“I was a little nervous, but I
think I’m ready,” Marchione saidbefore running the shoppingspree.
Marchione had one minute torun through Wilb Walkers andtake anything she wanted. Theonly restrict ion was thatMarchione could only take food,said Ryan Collins, president ofthe Athletic Trainers Club andjunior athletic training major.
Collins ran the shopping spreewith Marchione.
“Basically, (I’m there) so shedoesn’t go over a minute and Ican pick up behind her and makesure she doesn’t run into any-body,” Collins said.
Marchione said she hadn’t“checked out” Wilb Walkersbefore the shopping spree, butshe planned to get a lot of meatand frozen food.
“I cleaned out my freezer last
night,” Marchione said.“Meat, pizza, and chips, I
think her roommate had a say inwhat she got,” said Ellen Eppingassistant athletic trainer.
Marchione said her momwould laugh when she found outwhat she bought.
“She knows that all we eat isfrozen pizza,” she said.
Epping and Collins said theywere pleased with the fundraiser.
“I hope to make it annual,”
Collins said.Epping shared similar senti-
ments.“The kids did a really good
job selling tickets, now they needto decide what to do (with themoney),” Epping said.
He said proceeds may be usedto attend educational conferencesor purchase new educationalequipment for the athletic train-ing program.

Workshop to aid facultywith classroom writingBy SARA ALBRIGHTStaff writer
A Writing Across theCurriculum Workshop is beingoffered to help Eastern’s facultyincorporate more writing in theclassroom creatively, said LindaCalendrillo, director of the writingacross the curriculum program.
The workshops are being heldfrom 1 to 5 p.m. today and 9 a.m.to noon Tuesday in Room 333 ofColeman Hall.
Calendrillo said the purpose ofthe program is “to help teachersthink about different ways to(increase writing in the class-room).”
She said that, in the past, manyfaculty members have expressedinterest in sharing their techniques.
“People that come are genuinelyinterested,” Calendrillo said.
Topics such as writing in largeclasses, creating writing assign-ments, journal writing and collabo-rating to design writing assign-ments will be discussed.
On Monday, Fred Rauscher,assistant philosophy professor, andCalendrillo will conduct “Writingin Large Classes.” Nancy Marlow,management/marketing professor,and John David Moore, associateEnglish professor and chair of thewriting across the curriculum pro-gram, will conduct “CreatingWriting Assignments.” Calendrilloalso will conduct a journal writingsession.
On Tuesday, Moore will conductthe creative writing assignmentssession and Calendrillo will con-duct the other sessions.
Calendrillo said the topics per-tain to courses that are offered atEastern. Each session will have abrief presentation and will followwith discussion on techniques peo-ple have used in the past andwhether they have been successful.
“People tend to associate writingworkshops with only the Englishfaculty, and all departments involvewriting in some way,” Calendrillosaid.
Calendrillo said this is a “vitaltime” for faculty members to attendbecause of the Council onAcademic Affairs’ discussion ofwriting intensive core classes.
“(The program) is reallydesigned for faculty,” Calendrillosaid.
She said these types of writingworkshops have been offered since1990 and will continue to beoffered every year.
Calendrillo said the program isalso here to assist faculty through-out the year on writing topics, andall faculty members are encouragedto come share their ideas and take-back what they learn to their class-rooms.
People tend to asso-ciate writing workshopswith only the English facul-ty, and all depar tmentsinvolve writ ing in someway.”

Eastern welcomes studentsMackenzie Loftns(center), a senior high school student in Fremd, and Pat Loftns, Mackenzie’s mother, askRichard White, professor of early childhood, elementary and middle level education department aboutEastern’s undergraduate programs in education and professional studies during the open house Saturdaymorning in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
LONDON (AP) - LindaMcCartney, the American photog-rapher who broke a generation ofteen-age girls’ hearts when shemarried Beatle Paul McCartney, hasdied of breast cancer, his publicistsaid Sunday. She was 56.
Linda McCartney died Fridaywhile on vacation in Santa Barbara,Calif., Geoff Baker said. Her hus-band and children were with her.
Funeral arrangements were notimmediately available and it wasunclear whether her body wouldbe returned to England.
“The blessing was that the endcame quickly and she didn’t suffer,”a statement from Paul McCartney’soffice said. Two days before herdeath, Linda and Paul had beenhorseback riding, one of her mainpassions, the statement said.
Baker said the family was veryclose and that Paul and Linda hadonly once spent a night apart intheir 30 years together.
The couple announced inDecember 1995 that LindaMcCartney, a vegetarian who mar-keted her own meat-free dishes,
was being treated for breast cancer.The treatment at first appeared to
be working well, but in March thecancer was found to have spread toher liver, Sunday’s statement said.
It said Sir Paul, 55, will issue astatement later in the week andasked that people wanting to sendflowers should give a donation tocharities involved in cancerresearch, animal welfare, “or - bestof all - the tribute that Linda herselfwould like best: Go veggie.”
Paul McCartney’s mother diedof breast cancer when he was 14.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - JuanAcevedo was looking forexcitement and he got it.
“I wanted to be in that situ-ation, I was calm the wholetime,” Acevedo said aftergetting out of a bases-loaded,no-outs jam in the ninthinning Sunday to save the St. LouisCardinals’ 3-2 win over thePhiladelphia Phillies.
Acevedo said he wasn’t nervous.“I had no feelings,” he said. “I
knew I had a tough task ahead ofme. That’s the way I am, aggres-sive.”

“We hit the ball hard a few timesbut we hit it right at them,” Dodgersmanager Bill Russell said.

The tournament used a little bit of a differentscoring format that appeared to work to thePanther’s advantage. Games were played with aseven minute ball-in-play clock. Two points wereawarded for service aces and back row kills.
“Our serving and defense was very strong,”Panther head coach Betty Ralston said. “We usedthe two point ace to our advantage, serving 37 acesin the six games and did not allow our opponentsany aces.”
Eastern started out the weekend by defeatingParkland in two games, 42-13 and 59-15. MissyHollenkamp recorded nine kills in the victory.
Also having big games in the win were KimBlackwell and Meleah Cutler who both recorded
eight kills. Cari Stuchly also came up with 17assists.
Eastern then moved on to beat Elmhurst in twogames, 46-19 and 40-13. Blackwell came up withanother solid performance, scoring nine kills, sixservice aces and two blocks. Stuchly also came upwith another good performance, recording 10 moreassists.
The Panthers then advanced to defeat Lakelandeasily in the final match of the weekend in twogames, 50-18 and 38-17. Once again Blackwell hadanother strong game, finishing with 11 kills and oneblock.
Also coming up with good performances in thevictory were Stuchly who had 21 assists, three ser-vice aces and two kills. Cutler and Katie Wegnerchecked in with nine kills and one service ace apiece.
The Panthers used this tournament as a warm-upfor another home tournament next weekend. Thetournament will feature tougher competition. Teamscompeting will include Indiana State, Depaul,Western Illinois and Southern Illinois.
“We need to work harder on our transition gamethis week in practice because next week’s oppo-nents will be much tougher,” Ralston said.
Bulls, Jordan ready for last danceCHICAGO (AP) - Are they too
old for another 3-peat? Too beatenup by a regular season in whichthey were still among the NBA’selite but no longer the dominantteam?
Winning another championshipin what might be their final runcould be the toughest assignmentyet for the Chicago Bulls.
“We’re just happy the regularseason is over,” Bulls coach PhilJackson said. “We think there is acertain amount of energy loss atthe end of the season. Some of theguys looked like they were at theage we’ve been talking about thewhole year. But we made itthrough the season, I think, in great
form.”The Bulls went on a late 13-
game winning streak to securehomecourt advantage in the Eastbut then wearily dropped three offour to lose the homecourt shouldthey make the finals against Utah.
They struggled to win their finaltwo games against Philadelphiaand New York to finish the season62-20.
“Going into the end of the sea-son, it’s tough mentally to go outthere and push yourself for a pur-pose. You know it’s the end of theseason and you’re going to start awhole new one,” Michael Jordansaid. “Now you’re going to taketime away for a week, go through
practices, dissect your opponentand focus on the ultimate goal ofwinning a championship.”
Jordan scored 44 pointsSaturday night in the regular sea-son finale against the Knicks, witha 22-of-24 free throw effort. Hewas 11-of-24 from the field, mak-ing him 34-of-87 in the final fourgames of the season.
The Bulls will play New Jerseyin the first round with Games 1and 2 at the United Center onFriday and Sunday.
They swept Washington out ofthe opening round a year ago.
“We have to worry about our-selves. We shouldn’t worry aboutthe other team,” Jordan said.
