A former law professor at the Paul M. He-bert Law Center has become a controversial fi gure for his role in drafting legal documents authorizing the Bush administration’s use of harsh interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists.

Jay Bybee , a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth District ,

was on faculty at the Law Center and taught administrative law, constitutional law and civil procedure from 1991-1998.

Bybee served in the United States Justice Department as assistant attorney general for the Offi ce of Legal Council from November 2001 to March 2003 , where he signed a num-ber of legal memos concerning harsh interro-gation techniques used by the Bush adminis-tration against detained terrorists.

10 million women, 1 million men in Americastruggle with unhealthy disorder

By Leslie Presnall • Staff Writer

Meg was always the thinnest of her friends, but

the idea of being thinner con-sumed her life as she silently

suffered in a losing battle. When Meg, general stud-

ies sophomore, was 14 years old, a friend heard her vomiting in the

bathroom, not just once but sev-eral times during the course of a few

months.“She didn’t even talk to me about

it,” Meg said. “She went straight to my mom, and it all got real at that point.”

Meg, who wanted to conceal her identity, struggled with bulimia nervosa purging type for several months, and barely breaking 100 pounds, her mom forced her into counseling.

“I never got intense treatment

because I was only eating and throwing up for eight months,” she said. “All my friends were naturally skinny, and I felt like I had to work for it.”

ISLAMABAD (AP) — Troops sent to re-pel a Taliban advance toward the Pakistani capital killed 14 sus-pected militants, the army said Thursday, and accused insurgents of holding an entire town hostage. In another development that sent a shudder through Pakistan, officials said gun attacks in the mega-city of Karachi killed at least 34 people and threatened to ignite ethnic tension. President Barack Obama said he was “gravely concerned” about the nuclear-armed country’s stability, while Pakistan’s president urged the public to support the army offensive so that the Islamic nation would remain under “a moderate, modern and democratic state.”

World Health Organization to stop using term ‘swine flu’GENEVA (AP) — The World Health Organization announced Thursday it will would stop using the term “swine flu” to avoid confusion over the danger posed by pigs. The policy shift came a day after Egypt began slaughtering thousands of pigs in a misguided effort to prevent swine flu. WHO spokesman Dick Thompson said the agriculture industry and the U.N. food agency had expressed concerns that the term “swine flu” was misleading consumers and needlessly causing countries to ban pork products and order the slaughter of pigs.

NATION, STATE AND CITY BRIEFSAfter struggle, Chrysler succumbs to bankruptcyDETROIT (AP) — After months of living on government loans, Chrysler finally succumbed to bankruptcy Thursday, pinning its future on a top-to-bottom reorganization and plans to build cleaner cars through an alliance with Italian automaker Fiat. The nation’s third-largest car manufacturer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in New York af-ter a group of creditors defied government pressure to wipe out Chrysler’s debt. The company plans to emerge in as little as 30 days as a leaner, more nimble company, probably with Fiat as the majority owner. In return, the federal government agreed to give Chrysler up to $8 billion in additional aid and to back its warranties.

La. signs $30 million contract with Road Home

Stocks’ big April could be sign of healing economy

(AP) — Louisiana will pay up to $30 million to the new contractor running the Road Home program that doles out grants to homeowners with damage from hurricanes Katrina and Rita, under a two-year contract released Thursday by the Louisiana Recov-ery Authority. The state announced in February that Hammerman and Gainer Inc., based in Lutcher, will manage the program, taking over from heavily criti-cized ICF International Inc.

NEW YORK (AP) — April was Wall Street’s best month in nine years — offering some of the most pow-erful evidence yet that maybe, just maybe, the economy is about to begin a turnaround. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index, considered the most reliable measure of the broader market, climbed 9.4 percent in April, its best performance since March 2000, the peak of the dot-com bubble. The Dow Jones industrial average shot up 7.4 percent in April, on top of a 7.7 percent gain in March.

After a lengthy bidding pro-cess, the University is expected to pick First Transit of Cincin-nati as the University’s new bus service, ending its more than 20-year relationship with the Capital Area Transit System .

CATS Board President Chris-topher Tyson said in a news re-lease Thursday that CATS’ initial contract renewal proposal is 10 percent less than First Transit’s proposal.

But CATS didn’t participate in the recent bidding.

“CATS chose not to partici-pate in the bid process as CATS was unable to meet some of the initial bid requests and because CATS submitted its fi rst proposal for a contract renewal directly to LSU prior to the closing of the bid process,” Tyson said in the release.

University and CATS offi -cials met March 25 , April 8 and April 29 to discuss issues like costs, value and customer ser-vice.

“We have heard LSU’s valid concerns and have presented and implemented improvements to our service in the sincere hopes of retaining LSU’s very valuable business,” Tyson said.

Tyson said the University can legally award the contract to CATS on the grounds that the bus service is a public entity that can provide students and staff access to the entire CATS system at no additional fee.

“It was our opinion that for these reasons a bid submittal was unnecessary,” Tyson said. “We sincerely appreciate the time LSU staff has taken to hear our proposals and commitments for change over the course of our several meetings.”

Tyson said the CATS propos-al includes new-fuel buses, GPS capability, enhanced video moni-toring, LSU-branded buses, new customer service initiatives and an on-campus supervisor.

The plan would also save the University $301, 256 a year.

Tyson said he is hopeful LSU will continue its relationship with CATS and wants to include the University community in the company’s search for a new CEO.

Former CATS CEO John

Denman recently retired . Denman told The Daily

Reveille on July 1 that if the Uni-versity decided not to renew its contract with CATS, “major, ma-jor” adjustments would have to

be made — like layoffs of CATS employees and restructuring.

“The LSU service is very valuable to CATS and the loss of this service would result in a reduction of transit services system-wide,” Tyson said. “We regret that recent problems have threatened this decades-long partnership. We sincerely hope to continue this relationship and appreciate the opportunity to have our proposals received and considered through this decision-making process.”

different aspects on campus in-volved in coming together for a common goal.”

The group aims to become a self-sustaining society able of operating year after year from donated funds. The society plans to start with a small project, like renovations to the amphitheater, and grow to larger projects as it becomes increasingly visible

in the Baton Rouge community, Finkelstein said.

“If we can show people what we can do with our budget, hope-fully they’ll support us as we take on a bigger budget,” Finkelstein said.

Depending on available fund-ing, Finkelstein said the project could aesthetically improve the amphitheater, provide electrical hookups to the stage and improve the lighting surrounding the seat-

ing area. The bricks on the col-umns leading into the amphithe-ater could be used for names, he said.

Landmark considered pitch-ing the idea of renovations to the amphitheater as the 2010 Class Gift, Finkelstein said. If the proj-ect was designated as the 2010 Class Gift, Finkelstein said it would free Landmark from work-ing to gather funding.

Dennis Mitchell, campus

landscape architect, said three projects are typically selected as potential Class Gifts by a com-mittee comprised of students not associated with Student Gov-ernment. The projects then go through the approval process. The graduating class then votes on the approved projects.

As the campus landscape ar-chitect, Mitchell works to give the committee “some direction” with regard to the feasibility of

the three projects.While Mitchell called the

prospect of renovating the am-phitheater “a wonderful idea,” he said the budget of the project could hinder its possibilities of making it to the three selected projects.

about the legal justifi cations for the interrogation techniques — many signed by Bybee .

Since then, a national debate has emerged largely along partisan lines about the legal defi -nitions of torture — and some have targeted Bybee for his role in drafting what critics call the “torture memos.”

John Pod-esta, former White House chief of staff for President Bill Clinton and former co-chairman of the Obama-Biden transition team, sent a letter on April 26 to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Coyners, D-Mich., calling for the congressman to begin impeachment proceedings against Bybee if he doesn’t choose to re-sign.

“Yet, having issued opinions that violate the Constitution and concealed relevant aspects of his le-gal views and professional conduct from the Senate, Bybee has neither the legal nor moral authority to sit

in judgment of others,” Podesta wrote.

Law Center Chancellor Jack Weiss refused com-ment on Bybee’s actions in the OLC but said he doesn’t believe Bybee’s controversial status will have any im-

pact on the Law Center’s reputation or that of its faculty.

“That’s not a serious concern,” he said.

Tigers to finish regular season By David HelmanSports Writer

Citizens of Mingovia, rejoice — Barkevious Mingo, incoming freshman and prospective LSU line-backer, has won the coveted Name of the Year award.

Name of the Year, a group founded in 1983 with the mis-sion “to discover, verify, nominate, elect and disseminate great names,” placed Mingo as a No. 4 seed in the 64-name tournament on its blog back on March 17.

The West Monroe native has gone up against the likes of Chew Kok, Atilla Bucko, Taco Vandervel-de, Crystal Metheny and Nutritious Love.

Name of the Year insists every name in its tournament is real, “to the best of our knowledge.”

The field was reduced to two on April 20 where Mingo was pitted against Michigan graduate student Iris Macadangdang.

“That’s pretty awesome, I’m not going to lie,” said Lee Gresham, theatre freshman. “I have a feel-ing he’s going to be a fan favorite with LSU fans, because that’s pretty funny.”

More than 10,400 votes — in-cluding 1,147 in Louisiana — were

cast in the final, with Mingo triumph-ing by a 54-46 percent margin.

“First of all, that’s crazy,” said Kelvin Sheppard, LSU junior line-backer. “That’s out of all the crazy names in America, and he finished first. That’s pretty cool.”

Much of Mingo’s success can be attributed to Spencer Hall, a Uni-versity of Florida alumnus who is the driving force behind Every Day Should Be Saturday, a popular col-lege football blog.

“Almost everything on EDSBS is just kind of something that sticks in my mind or appeals to my imagi-nation,” Hall said. “I loved the name the first time I saw it on Rivals.com,

LSU sophomore catcher Micah Gibbs said the LSU baseball team has been eagerly awaiting its series with Ar-kansas since the start of the season.

The Tigers’ three-game series begins tonight in Fayetteville, Ark., and the winner of the series will be atop the Southeastern Conference Western Division standings.

“We’re tight, half a game up right now in the West, and during the year we’ve been tight with [Arkansas],” Gibbs said. “We’ve been looking forward to this one from the very beginning because we knew when we got to this weekend it would be big.”

Gibbs accounted for a bases-clearing double in LSU’s 10-run fifth inning Wednes-day against Tulane before junior left fielder Ryan Schimpf and junior designated hitter Blake Dean hit back-to-back home runs.

“That was a huge at bat for Gibbs,” Schimpf said. “The inning wouldn’t have

gotten around to us if he wouldn’t have come through.”

Dean agreed, and he said Gibbs’ confidence at the plate was evident Wednesday night.

“It’s great to see him swinging the bat a lot better,” Dean said. “For him as the catcher, mainly a defensive guy, to come out there with two outs for us and get RBIs, that’s great.”

LSU coach Paul Mainieri said hitting onslaughts like Wednesday’s provide great energy for an important series.

“It’s exactly what I was hoping for as we go out to Arkansas,” Mainieri said. “These games are going to be three dog fights I can promise you. They won’t give an inch, and I hope our kids will bring a competitive zeal and meet the challenge.”

Mainieri said the Tigers need to continue to be productive on offense if they want to

The No. 20 LSU softball team is still jockeying for position enter-ing the season’s final weekend.

The Tigers (30-14-1, 13-9-1) hold fourth place in the Southeastern Conference by just one win and need a good performance against Auburn (28-24, 8-17) to avoid losing it.

“We’d certainly like to finish the season as high as we can,” said LSU coach Yvette Girouard. “We need to enter the postsea-son with a good mind frame.”

A perfor-mance like last weekend’s would certainly boost the Tigers’ con-fidence heading into the postsea-son. LSU didn’t allow South Carolina to score in a three-game sweep, outscor-ing the Gamecocks by a combined total of 20-0.

“Obviously Auburn is a differ-ent challenge than South Carolina was,” Girouard said. “South Caro-lina is reeling a little bit, and this is a better ball club in Auburn.”

The wins offset a sweep the Ti-gers suffered at the hands of No. 1 Florida. The Gators knocked LSU out of contention for third place in the SEC, but the Tigers can stay in the top half of the SEC tournament’s eight-team bracket with a successful series against Auburn.

LSU women’s basketball coach Van Chancellor added a mix of youth and experience to one of the youngest teams in women’s college basketball.

Chancellor signed three early recruits — guard Bianca Lutley and forwards Adrienne Webb and Jasmine Nelson.

He inked point guard Taylor Booze in the late April signing period. Chancellor will gain an-other player in 2009 when trans-fer guard Erica Williams will be eligible to play after transferring from Southern Mississippi.

Scout.com fi ve-star guard Bianca Lutley headlines Chancel-lor’s 2009 class. The Florida na-tive played at American Heritage High School her senior season.

She averaged 22.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists her junior season at Pensacola High School , earning Class 4A All-State honors. Lutley became the fastest player in Pensacola his-tory to exceed 1,000 points.

“She’s a real good outside shooter and a good passer,” Chan-cellor said. “We need her outside shooting.”

Chancellor said Lutley’s playing time will be determined by her work ethic in the summer.

“That’s left up to her,” Chan-cellor said. “Players determine playing time.”

Lutley and Webb will be new to college baksetball, while Nel-son, Booze and Webb have ex-perience at the junior college or Division I level.

“I’m ready to start next sea-son right now,” Chancellor said. “I’m excited about our return-ing players. I’m excited about our players that we have coming here.”

Booze has been the only re-cruit to sign in the late signing period.

The Trinity Valley Commu-nity College point guard aver-aged 10.1 points, 4.5 assists and 1.7 steals in 2008. Dallas-native Booze will be a junior for the Lady Tigers in 2009.

Booze was the second Trinity Valley player to sign with LSU.

Nelson, a 6-foot-2-inch for-ward , was a 2009 State Farm/Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Association All-American .

Nelson averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocks per game . The forward led Trinity Valley to a 26-7 overall record .

“She can run; she can shoot,” Chancellor said. “She can do it all.”

LSU has had connections with Trinity Valley. LSU assistant coach Kenya Larkin-Landers was an assistant coach and former player at the community college. Her husband, Michael Landers , was the head coach at Trinity Valley.

Sparkman High School

forward Webb averaged 22 points and six rebounds her junior sea-son, leading her team to a 28-5 record .

Webb was a state tourna-ment MVP as a sophomore and led Sparkman to a Class 6A state title .

The 5-foot-10-inch forward is a Scout.com four-star recruit.

“[Webb] is a heck of a wing

player out of Alabama,” Chan-cellor said. “She’s an all-around outstanding defensive player, a scorer and a rebounder.”

Shooting guard Williams, a transfer from Southern Missis-sippi, will be eligible to join the Lady Tigers in 2009 . She played one season and averaged 4.7 points and 1.4 rebounds for the Golden Eagles .

“She’s been working out with us all year,” Chancellor said. “She’s exactly what we need here.”

The Gonzales native aver-aged 21.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists her senior season at Dutchtown High School .

“Williams is a great shooter,” Chancellor said. “[She] gives us depth from the outside.”

we’ve got to score in the first three innings, and I’d like to see us do that,” Girouard said.

Softball isn’t the only thing weighing on the Tigers’ minds. Just like the rest of the LSU community, the softball team begins final exams next week, just two days after return-ing from Auburn.

“This is a very stressful time for our team,” Girouard said. “As coaches we have to be very aware of everything going on with them and don’t put any undue pressure on them.”

Auburn is in a much more pre-carious position. The Tigers are No.

8 in the SEC — the last available po-sition in the SEC tournament. Both Ole Miss and Mississippi State are within two games of Auburn, and ei-ther could overtake them for the final spot with a successful weekend.

“They’re still fighting to get into the tournament, and they’re at home,” Girouard said. “This is their best shot — it’s their only shot to get in. No SEC coach wants to not get into the tournament. It’s added pres-sure on that team and that coaching staff, and I’m sure they’ll be fired up.”

continue their six-game winning streak.

“For us to win over there — we’re going to be seeing great pitching and great defense — we have to score runs,” Mainieri said. “Arkansas is going to score some runs. Forget about what their team batting average is. Arkansas is a scrappy team that knows how to win.”

Mainieri said he was happy to see junior first baseman Sean Ochinko step up to the plate in the first inning against Tulane and build on LSU’s 1-0 lead.

Ochinko was playing in his

first game back since missing the Auburn series with a hamstring in-jury.

“We had scored one run, and we had [runners on] second and third ... and Ochinko rose up with two outs and hit a big two-run dou-ble,” Mainieri said. “You can’t win on the road in this league by scoring one run in nine innings. You have to be able to finish off innings and put a perfect number up.”

LSU will send sophomore An-thony Ranaudo (5-2, 2.89 ERA) to the mound Friday against Arkansas junior pitcher Dallas Keuchel (6-1, 4.30 ERA).

Senior Louis Coleman will pitch for LSU on Saturday, and

sophomore Austin Ross will start Sunday.

Schimpf, whose two home runs against Tulane added to his team-leading total of 14, said the team’s hot bats have to fire up the whole team heading into the key Arkansas series.

“It helps us out a lot going into the weekend, having some people feeling a little more confident,” Schimpf said. “It might carry over, but we have to put it behind us and move forward and think about the future.”

and my degenerate readers got be-hind it.”

What started as a fascination with a name soon turned into a movement to declare Barkevious Mingo as the Name of the Year.

But Mingo’s victory doesn’t begin to tell the story — it doesn’t explain the state of Mingovia or the notion of a “Steampunk Emperor.”

“I was talking to my brother about just the name [Barkevious

Mingo] itself, and he said, ‘That sounds like a villain who travels in his own blimp,’” Hall said. “Ideas about Flash Gordon got thrown around, and all of a sudden you’ve got this Steampunk Emperor.”

The Mingovian crusade was close behind as the state of Mingov-ia took shape. Images of Mingo with cannon-arms, riding various mounts from zeppelins to war elephants ap-peared, urging EDSBS readers to vote Mingo for Name of the Year.

Hall even unveiled a Mingov-

ian national anthem, that “probably sounds something like” the anthem of the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-publics, complete with the lyrics, “Vanquished if you’re lucky – far worse if you should lag, In battle with Lord Mingo, You’ll end up bound and gagged.”

“That stems from my desire to have everything be a hammy South Park musical,” he said.

Not everyone appreciates Lord Mingo’s cult status, as Hall concedes. For many there’s still the

matter of whether he can fulfill his four-star status at outside linebacker from his days at West Monroe.

“It’s just his name,” said Brit-tany Gay, graphic design freshman. “Why does that matter? Can he play good?”

Only time can answer that. But if he can, expect to see 92,000 people screaming for passports to Mingovia.

“This isn’t so much about what we can do with the name, but what LSU fans can do when set loose with it,” Hall said. “They are by far the most creative fan base in the country.”

struggle with eating disorders, according to the National Eat-ing Disorders Association. And nearly 20 percent of college-aged students admit to having an eat-ing disorder.

Today, more Americans are being hospitalized for eating dis-orders, according to an April 1 press release from the U.S. De-partment of Health and Human Services.

Julie Hupperich, Student Health Center associate director, said eating disorders can begin at any age, but there are certain risk factors for college students.

“There are additional pres-sures on them,” she said. “It’s just being under high stress, and an eating disorder is a coping mechanism.”

Hupperich said stress will trigger a disorder, or symptoms will escalate during times of stress. She said certain students in subcategories on campus are at higher risk.

“It’s been shown that partic-ular majors are at risk, like dance majors and female athletes,” she said. “And Greek organizations seem to be at greater risks.”

TYPES OF EATING DISORDERS

Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder make up the three main types of eating disorders.

Anorexia nervosa is a char-acterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss, according to NEDA, while bulimia nervosa is a combination of overeating with compensatory behaviors like self-induced vomiting to undo the effects.

Richard Shoop, Overeaters Anonymous of Baton Rouge vol-unteer, said binge eating disor-der — or overeating — can start as early as childhood, stemming from abuse or other issues, but it is common among people in their 20s.

“They use food when things are going bad,” he said. “It’s a comforting situation when people turn to food to make things seem better.”

CAMPUS SURVEYLast spring, the Health Cen-

ter polled University students on their nutrition and eating habits in an online survey.

When asked if they were currently trying to change their weight, 53 percent of students said yes, while only 35 percent described themselves as slightly or very overweight.

“This basically tells us more people are trying to lose weight, even though they don’t self iden-tify as being overweight,” Hup-perich said.

Nearly 2 percent of Universi-ty students have been diagnosed with bulimia, and more than 1 percent reported using vomiting or laxatives. More than 4 percent reported using diet pills.

Within the past school year, 2 percent of University students were diagnosed with anorexia, but nearly 25 to 30 percent of University students show symp-toms, according to the online sur-vey.

“Just because you haven’t been diagnosed doesn’t mean you’re not experiencing some symptoms,” Hupperich said.

Anorexia symptoms include weight loss, hair loss and low blood pressure, which leads to fa-tigue and dizziness.

“They may not have hair loss or extreme weight loss, but they can have gastro intestinal prob-lems if they’re using laxatives,” she said. “Purging by vomiting can lead to dental problems, and usually the dentists pick up that their teeth are being eroded by the acid.”

PREVENTION AND HELPBecause eating disorders are

usually a secretive and sensitive subject, students are encouraged to be as objective as possible when approaching a friend or family member suspected of hav-ing an eating disorder.

“There defi nitely is going to be a great deal of denial,” Hup-perich said. “You can intervene with them, and cite specifi c be-havior.”

The Health Center provides medical and diagnostic care, including laboratory work and X-ray imaging for eating dis-order patients, plus access to a registered dietician, psychiatrist and primary care physician. The Health Center currently has 31 eating disorder patients in its pro-gram.

“It’s very much a mental is-sue as much as it is a nutrition is-sue,” Hupperich said. “Occasion-ally, we have students who need to go to an in-treatment facility.”

Sorry, CATS, but it was definitely time to hit the roadOUR VIEW

Beginning Aug. 1, First Transit of Cincinnati will almost certainly be the new bus service on campus serving students, faculty and staff.

So after more than 20 years, the University is ditching the Capi-tal Area Transit System.

And that’s fine with us.With CATS, a few things were

always certain: late buses, crowded

buses and drivers who took breaks seemingly whenever they wanted.

“The LSU service is very valu-able to CATS, and the loss of this service would result in a reduction of transit services system-wide,” CATS Board President Christo-pher Tyson said in a news release Thursday. “We regret that recent problems have threatened this

decades-long partnership.”For years, Student Govern-

ment presidents and Gary Gra-ham, Office of Parking, Traffic and Transportation director, have tried to work with CATS to improve ser-vice.

But the simple truth is CATS just wasn’t cutting it anymore, and it was time to find a suitable

replacement.Think of the situation like

a football coach. You feel sorry when you cut a player — they have bills to pay, too — but sometimes a change is what’s needed.

Probably the most unfortunate part of this story is CATS might not be able to serve the community anymore, and that’s not the fault

of residents who rely on the bus service. It’s unfortunate losing the University’s business might be the reason for that outcome.

But CATS had its chances. And it simply couldn’t deliver.

LOUISIANIMAL

Green leaders’ deception doesn’t discredit movement One principle aim of Earth Day

is to recruit green warriors to com-bat man’s effect on the environment. This battle must then — as some conservatives conclude — place na-ture above human interest.

Students and University offi-cials celebrated Earth Day last week by emphasizing different ways stu-dents can shape their impact on the environment.

But many who celebrated on the Parade Ground were probably un-aware one the founders of the move-ment and one of its current leaders are liars.

Why then does Earth Day get more coverage than its hypocritical leaders? Is it because the latter case is not newsworthy, or is it because the former is more relevant?

Probably.But it could also be because we

care more about the planet and poli-tics than we do about people and hu-man rights.

Earth Day co-founder Ira Einhorn was an Earth-lover but

apparently not a people person. Friend of Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, Einhorn — whose name means “one horn” — also became known as the Unicorn Killer.

Einhorn was so self-absorbed that he considered himself too “mythic” to bathe regularly or use his real name. He even referred to himself as a “planetary enzyme,” as documented by TIME.

After murdering his lover, Holly Maddux, and leaving her decompos-ing corpse in a trunk in his closet for more than 20 years, the Unicorn Killer insisted his arrest was part of a government conspiracy. That’s why he changed his name and ran away to France.

The celebration of Einhorn’s ar-rest eventually turned to frustration as the French took advantage of the political expediency the case offered. Using the case as an opportunity to teach the U.S. a lesson on human rights, the French cited the use of capital punishment in Pennsylvania and conviction in absentia as reasons

for their refusal to extradite Einhorn, according to TIME.

Einhorn was eventually sen-tenced to life in prison.

To a vastly lesser extent, the green move-ment’s new leader, Al Gore, is also a hypo-crite and a liar.

Steven Mil-loy recently laid out the case as to how Gore lied to Congress — specifically U.S.

Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La. — about his personal finances and his con-nection to Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs.

Two years ago, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research attained information from the Nashville Electric Service attesting to Gore’s hypocrisy: despite his calls for de-creased energy consumption, Gore’s home used 20 times the national yearly average for home energy use.

Apart from their hypocrisy, the only thing Gore and Einhorn had in common was the fact that they both claimed to have invented the Inter-net.

Conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh immediately leapt on the story by The [Philadelphia] Bulletin.

“Ira Einhorn, member of the counterculture pantheon, one of the founders of the environmentalist movement, icon of the liberal intel-ligentsia, was charged with murder,” Limbaugh read, after pointing out that the Unabomber and the Son of Sam were also environmentalists.

“Yet Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Secu-rity, sends out this memo warning of returning veterans who might commit acts of terror in the United States,” Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh flirted with the mis-take of confusing all environmental-ists with murderers, but a second read of his commentary offers real insight — some people care more about the

planet than they do its inhabitants.In pointing out the great irony of

the Einhorn case, The Bulletin noted Einhorn was arrested the same day as the Three Mile Island accident, a meltdown at a Pennsylvania nuclear power plant.

This is significant because more people were killed in Einhorn’s apartment than the most significant environmental disaster in American history.

Limbaugh was right, but he should have been the first to realize that hypocritical leadership doesn’t necessarily translate into the futility of foot soldiers.

A movement doesn’t always need a leader.

(BI)PARTISAN VIEW

LGBTQ has racial minorities within minoritiesIn general, negative attitudes

toward the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community are generated for reasons including age, religiosity, education, political views, frequency of contact with gay people and the belief that gayness is a personal choice.

With the substantial amount of anti-gay writings about why being gay is “immoral” and “unnatural,” it’s easy to see why there is so much homophobia today. But imagine be-ing gay and having to go through the discrimination — and then being dis-criminated against further because of your race or religion.

This is the discrimination endured by the black LGBTQ community.

Members of this community face racial prejudice from the pre-

dominately white population as well as sexual prejudice from the predom-inately heterosexual population. And to top it off, they are viewed even more harshly for their sexual orienta-tion by the black population than the population at large.

Minorities pushing members of their own community into another minority is not new, yet it still sur-prises many. This is the concept of most bullying: put down someone whom you feel is different or weird so that you can feel better about yourself.

The rumor is when a gay black male comes out of the closet, he is no longer seen as truly black, but gay. In other words, the less gay black men come out of the closet, the more stigmatized being gay will be in the

black community.There is a group here at the Uni-

versity that serves as a support group for LGBTQ people of color called Pride. Like many gay members of the black commu-nity, this sup-port group is on the down low. It comprises not only blacks, but also Hispanics and any other ethnic minorities who feel discriminated against because of their sexual ori-entation.

The group opens its doors to all ethnic groups because many minori-ties find themselves in the same boat

as gay African-Americans.LGBTQ people of Asian decent

are expected to follow family and cultural traditions. These traditions do not include being gay. The movie “Saving Face” is a perfect example.

Gay Hispanics also find that being gay doesn’t fit with their cul-ture’s traditions. In general, Hispanic people tend to be very religious, es-pecially Catholic. Gay acts are not tolerated in Christian churches, and the same feelings are upheld in the Hispanic communities.

One minority that has not been touched upon is the Jewish or Mus-lim communities. Because there is little to no research done on this topic, we can only make educated guesses as to how each community judges gay members within it.

Members of the LGBTQ com-munity come in all different shapes, colors and sizes, with creeds of all different kinds. They are the minor-ity of minorities still fighting against all odds for equal rights and respect.

This has only touched the tip of the iceberg of gays in ethnic minority groups. The topic is complex as well as under-researched. But there is an easy solution: Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Don’t discriminate.

THE DAILY REVEILLE

Despite President Barack Obama’s popularity in Latin America, conditions look less than ripe for improved relations between Latin American and the U.S.

Drug violence has left the Mexican government at No. 2 on the State Department’s list of governments most likely to col-lapse. In El Salvador, 20 years of Republican control came to an end as communist-guerilla group Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional propelled Mauricio Funes to the nation’s highest office. Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva actually claimed the international eco-nomic turmoil is a result of blue-eyed, white people.

In a New York Times article about Chinese incursions into Latin America – resulting in more than $30 billion in aid – former Clinton official David Rothkopf explained this was how the bal-ance of power quietly shifts dur-ing crises. Brazilian economist Dante Sica said China’s over-tures are possible because of a lack of attention toward Latin America during the Bush era. But some also blame the Obama administration, claiming its un-willingness to confront China ag-gressively over its currency and trade practices hurts American manufacturers.

This is to say nothing of Ven-ezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and the rest of Latin America.

American crusades overseas will mean nothing if the U.S. can’t contain growing threats from its immediate neighbors. Even Obama said U.S. progress “is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.”

Is this perceived hostility em-blematic of the future Pan-Ameri-can climate? What can be done to counter the ground lost over the past 50 years?

We asked members of the Lat-in American Student Association and other informed voices around campus.

There is a general consensus that Washington has lost consider-able influence and prestige in the last eight years, mainly because of its invasion of Iraq and other hu-man rights violations, its dismal economic situation, and its unilat-eral “with us or against us” posi-tion. Other reasons for its declin-ing influence exist but received little attention, the most important of which is its economic collapse. This was the most obvious way to exert influence in developing countries over the past three de-cades.

Now most of the governments of the region are less dependent on Washington. This also owes to the fact that in the last decade, leftist governments in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela have been chosen. One of the most important causes of this electoral revolt has been the failure of the neoliberal economic policies that were promoted actively by Wash-ington and the multilateral institu-tions where it exerts its dominion — like the IMF, the World Bank and the IADB.

If income distribution is ig-nored — it’s more unequal in Latin America than anywhere in the world and has gotten worse in some countries — the failure of long-term economic develop-ment in Latin America in the ne-oliberal era does not have prec-edent in modern history. Also, Washington’s response to the region’s turn toward leftist gov-ernments has accelerated its loss of influence. The Bush adminis-tration’s handling of Venezuela has been counterproductive and has isolated the U.S. more than it has Venezuela, as was recognized recently by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Bush adminis-tration support of the opposition in Bolivia led to the expulsion of the American ambassador there, and the subsequent expulsion of U.S. ambassadors to Bolivia and Venezuela.

The economic success of the leftist governments that were elected over the past decade will motivate other countries to look for more political power, of which they were deprived during the neoliberal era. Venezuela and Argentina, for example, followed heterodox macroeconomic poli-cies and had the fastest growth in the hemisphere during the past six years. As the world becomes mul-tipolar, American influence will continue diminishing, not only in Latin America but around the world.

With Obama in the White House and considering the results of the Summit of the Americas and his greeting with Chávez, the most feasible scenario is a signifi-cant change in American policy.

My parents sought political exile in the U.S. from the tyranni-cal Cuban government. I hope the Obama administration can open

good U.S.-Cuban relations for the first time in more than 50 years. My desire is that U.S. influences may sway the ailing island into the path of democracy. My fam-ily — and the millions of Cuban exiles situated in south Florida and all over this amazing country that we now proudly call home — would consider it a dream come true to see Cuba as a free country within the next four years.

United Statesphysics graduate studentLASA member

From 1776 until the 1830s, the U.S. was a powerful force for Latin American independence. This was best articulated by the Monroe Doctrine. The histori-cal conflict between the U.S. and Latin America is a result of colo-nization in nations like Mexico, Panama, Cuba and Guatemala. Beginning with the U.S.-Mexico War, the U.S. shifted policy and pursued imperialism and invest-ment until the 1930s. Franklin Roosevelt instituted the Good Neighbor Policy, but after World War II ended, American paranoia over the spread of communism consumed its policy-makers. While the U.S. made progress with Cuba and Nicaragua, it made mistakes with Guatemala and Panama.

But knowledge of the past can help determine the course of the future for continental rela-tions. For example, the U.S. can be a powerful force in alleviating Latin American debt, which hin-ders progress and creates instabil-ity across the continent. Instituting conditional aid based on domes-tic progress to fiscally troubled countries would be a good start. Some of those conditions should enforce democracy and govern-ability, promote human rights and freedom of the press, and help eliminate corruption.

Further, the development of this long-term relationship must be consistent with U.S. and Latin American interests. Too often, the U.S. flip-flops policies with the advent of new administrations. To help counter this, Latin American leaders must take more respon-sibility to help. At some point, Latin America must look to solve its own problems — the U.S. does not bear sole responsibility for this climate. Once democratic institu-tions are established, solutions will arise. Latin America needs independence, not a Big Brother.

Exporting democracy and fostering cooperation can be achieved if Latin America is seen

not as a competitor but a brother. For this to happen, both must rec-ognize some common problems and enunciate common values combined with realistic solutions. Aside from drug, education, pov-erty and immigration problems, military cooperation should be emphasized as a way to counter foreign threats.

Latin America wouldn’t be the only one to benefit from this new relationship. The U.S. could take advantage of Brazil’s prog-ress with ethanol and bioenergy in exchange for protecting the Ama-zon — because protecting the Amazon is protecting the world. Cooperation with Cuba could also produce serious results in health research and education.

American politicians might not be aware that some Latin American problems can cause problems for the U.S. There should be a change in paradigm from an apparently parasitic to a cooperative relationship. This bidirectional perception must change if there is to be a stron-ger partnership. Problems should be simulated and confronted by a bloc of nations, rather than in-dividual pursuits in the name of self-interest.

Obama has a huge opportu-nity to set a new vision. There are many people willing and able to create institutions that will pursue U.S. and Latin American interests simultaneously.

Guatemalaagricultural economics graduate studentLASA Secretary

Most Mexicans think Obama won’t have any significant impact on the Mexican economy. They are also disappointed by Obama’s approach to the drug problem consuming both nations. Provid-ing training to the Mexican army to fight drug cartels looks more like an intervention, not a solu-tion. Obama must do more to help combat poverty, rather than opt for a military solution to a prob-lem that isn’t inherently militaris-tic in nature. The biggest reason for drugs and violence in Mexico is unemployment. Improving the standards of living will prevent other problems. For example, if there were more opportunities in Mexico, there wouldn’t be a mass migration to the U.S. This would solve much of the immigration conflict, too.

Also, if there were a reduced demand in America, being the largest consumer of narcotics, for Mexican drugs, this would

alleviate the drug problems plagu-ing both nations. Obama doesn’t understand that with no alterna-tives, talented businessmen turn to the drug trade to reap profits not found in other sectors of the economy. With few academic op-portunities available and the job market becoming slimmer, people turn to the streets.

Corruption would decline as a result — because as it stands now, drug dealers run the country and can do whatever they want by controlling their puppet, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who came to power through fraudulent elections.

Most Americans are unaware of the actions of their government and U.S.-based corporations in Latin American countries. For example, in the ‘70s the CIA sup-ported, politically and logistically, military coups in Chile, Argen-tina and Uruguay, which merged the entire region into a period of State-sponsored terror. The U.S. consistently pursued its own po-litical and economic interests at the expense of cooperative efforts to create a prosperous Western Hemisphere.

Uruguaybiology graduate studentLASA member

The U.S. missed extraordi-nary opportunities to establish stronger relationships with Latin America. For example, although the U.S. is the greatest producer of carbon dioxide in the world, it is the only developed country in the region that has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol. Almost all devel-oping countries that produce sig-nificantly less carbon dioxide than the U.S. have signed the protocol in a cooperative effort to improve the quality of life of their inhabit-ants. With this attitude, unfortu-nately, the region becomes more vulnerable, socially and economi-cally.
