Asmtmgreotypes may affect p

By Karla Dooley
ASSISTANT NEVIS EDITOR

Stereotypes can work for or
against a person academically.
according to a Harvard Universi-
ty study published in l’si'chologr
cal Science last month.

In the study. researchers test
ed the common stereotype that
women are poor mathematics
students and Asians are good at
math.

The results? Asian~American
women who were reminded of the
positive stereotype about Asian
mathematics ability did better on
a math test than those who were
reminded of their gender.

At UK, students and profes-
sors alike questioned how far-

reaching the effects of stereotypes
can be. but also acknowledged
that they do play a part in a stu-
dent‘s academic development.

“Professors and other teachv
ers set a social expectancy and
think you should be good at it."
said Dae Grodin. a biology and
psychology sophomore. “You sort
of feel pressured."

As an Asian-American.
Grodin said many people assume
she is good at math. although she
said it‘s always been her "down-
fall."

“Sometimes I wish I was
(good at math) because then I
would fit in or whatever. It
makes a big difference. It (affects)
how you perceive yourself."

Philipp Kraemer. chair of the

psychology department. said
there are other studies to support
the Harvard team‘s findings.

"There is some credit to this."
he said. "(Academic performance
is) all tied into what (test partici-
pants) think the task results are
going to be llSl‘tl for. You can often
lose the kinds of concentration
that you need."

But the researchers were
careful to point out that the cur
rent controversy over the fair-
ness of standardized tests could
be relevant to the results of this
study.

“More attention needs to be
paid to sociocultural influences
on the performance of women.“
the report said.

one institution doesn‘t prove
much." said Louis Swift, dean of
Undergraduate Studies at UK.
"It's only one piece in a much big-
ger picture.”

The degree to which students
think they are ill :idcinically af—
fected by stereotypes varies.

“I'm in a lot of classes that
are stereotypically male." said
Stephanie Stockholm. an electri-
cal engineering _llllllUi‘. "I don't
feel inferior to anybody because
of my gentler so 1 don't really
feel like stereotypes affect the

“I think all those reports are
just cheesy." said (‘ourtney By»

freshman. She said she is always
amused to see a malls-era class

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS ¢ Northern Ken-
tucky University will dedicate this year’s ninth
annual Women's Walk to Carlie Schulenberg, a
1997 graduate who was killed in Orlando, Fla, on
New Year’s Eve.

Miss Schulenberg, who majored in theater
at NKU, worked for the Norse athletic depart—
ment for two years, including managing tickets
for the home basketball games. She also worked
for the campus recreation program for three
years.

The 24~year-old aspiring actress was stabbed
to death in her Orlando, Fla, apartment complex
on New Year‘s Eve. She had moved to Orlando in
August to work as a production assistant and act-
ing coach for a children’s television series being
produced at Disney MGM Studios.

Randy Montgomery, 21. a maintenance work-
er at the apartment complex where Miss Schu—
lenberg lived, was indicted Jan. 21 on charges of

WASHINGTON — A House prosecutor ques-

her first sworn statements since President Clin-
ton's impeachment trial began. White House
lawyers passed on the opportunity to pose their
own questions. The five-hour deposition of the
former intern took place in private but was
videotaped for the full Senate.

Senators can view the tape as early as today.
and excerpts could end up being shown as part of
the trial. Senators also could vote to bring Lewin-
sky to the floor for live testimony about her rela-
tionship with Clinton and attempts to conceal it.
Clinton's friend Vernon Jordan will be deposed
today and aide Sidney Blumenthal will be ques-
tioned tomorrow.

Clinton sends budget to Congress

WASHINGTON —~ President Clinton un—
veiled yesterday a $1.77 trillion budget for the
year 2000 that would buttress Social Security and
bestow billions on everything from troops to
teachers. Republicans, who control Congress, im-
mediately vowed to rework much of it, insisting
that part of the $2.41 trillion in surpluses Clinton
envisions over the next decade should go for tax-
rate cuts, not new spending. But Republicans
agreed with Clinton that most of the surpluses
should be set aside to trim the national debt and
strengthen Social Security.

No decision on troops in Kosovo

WASHINGTON — Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright has started talking with
members of Congress on the potential use of
thousands of US. ground troops to keep any
peace agreement that may be worked out for
Kosovo. Some 20,000 troops would be part of a
monitoring group with European forces. With
peace talks due to begin on Saturday at Ram-
bouillet, France. US. and European envoys still
lacked a clear commitment from Kosovo Alban-
ian rebels to participate. The Yugoslav govern-
ment announced the Serbian Parliament would
decide Thursday whether the Serbs would attend
the talks.

One killed in Ford plant explosion

DEARBORN, Mich. fl At least one person
died yesterday in an explosion and fire at a gen-
erating station of a Ford Motor plant. Three
workers also were unaccounted for after the
blast at the coal-fired plant, the company said.
Oakwood Hospitals received 21 patients, six to
eight with severe burns, said the director of
emergency services. Garden City Hospital re-
ceived one patient and was told to expect more.
The cause of the explosion was under investiga-
tion. The power house generates electricity for
the entire complex, producing enough electricity
to serve a city the size of Boston.

in 1926. The week eventually
grew into Black History
Month.

It took some time for
Black History Month to be cel-
ebrated UK, as the Universi-
ty's first black student, Lyman
T. Johnson, wasn't admitted
until 1950.

But Grundy said even in
1965. when he was a student,
the month was observed by
the Black Student Union. The
founding of the Office of Mi-
nority Affairs in 1971 was
probably the beginning of in-
stitutionally supported obser-
vance of Black History Month
at UK. he said.

Doris Wilkinson. former
director of the research pro-
gram, said Black History

month grew with the building
of the King Cultural Center
(in 1988) and the re-founding
of the AASRP in 1992.

“Under the leadership of
Dr. Gerald Smith. (current di—
rector) the AASRP has ex-
panded its African-American
History Month activities," she
said.

“As a cultural center, we
are dedicated to this type of
programming on a year-round
basis,” he said. “We think it
every bit as vital to our stu-
dent‘s education as the class-
room experience. February
just allows us to bring a spe—
cial emphasis (to black histo-
ry)."

UK’s celebration of Black
History Month is being spon-
sored by SAB, the African-
American Research Program,
the Black Student Union, the
Sunz of Hetep, the Spotlight

WPsi sending message

Why should you care? Because, members
say, it could mean a good job in the future

By m m
sun mum

Each semester, students
mill around campus during
Rush, trying to find the perfect
fraternity or sorority to suit
their career and lifestyle.

One more option has
emerged: the Alpha Kappa Psi
coed business fraternity. Estab-
lished this fall at UK, AKPsi's
new breed became the founding
members of a chapter of one of
the oldest and largest profes-
sional business fraternities in
the world.

“The purpose of Alpha
Kappa Psi is to give students a
way to further themselves pro-
fessionally and to make con-

tacts,” said Bryan Kraemer, a
marketing senior and president
of the organization.

“Right now, we have about
60 students and we are still re-
cruiting members for this se-
mester through the end of this
week," he said.

Founded in 1904, Alpha
Kappa Psi chapters are on the
campuses of more than two-
thirds of the nation’s top 50
business schools, according to
US. News and World Report.

AKPsi is divided into sev-
eral committees that target dif-
ferent aspects of the business
world, such as public relations,
marketing, professional ser-
vices, alumni and community
services, Kraemer said.

Regina Anzures, a market-
ing senior and chair for the
committee on Public Relations,
said AKPsi could be vital to stu-
dents who want leadership and
professional experience.

“We operate like a brother-
hood where students play ac-
tive leadership roles, in busi-
ness and their community,”
Anzures said.

Despite being a profession-
al organization at heart, AKPsi
offers many social activities for
its members, such as an armual
formal, football games, bowling
tournaments and trips to Cine-
ma Grill and Keeneland,
Anzures said. AKPsi also won a
recent contest by the National
Honor Society to see which
group could clean the most
trash from campus.

“We emphasize leadership
skills, teamwork, meeting peo-
ple and networking with stu-

dents of common interests,"
Anzures said.

Despite the group's fledg-
ling status, the fraternity's
president saw a bright future
ahead for the latest addition to
UK's Greek society.

“Later this week, we are
participating in the Lexington
forum, a group including Lex-
ington’s leaders, attorneys and
accountants to talk about busi-
ness. It's great for getting a
job,” Kraemer said.

AKPsi is open to any stu-
dent with an interest in busi-
ness and helping the communi-
ty. Each member can join one
or more of the committees of-
fered by the organization.

“All members of the frater-
nity this year are the charter
members," Anzures said.

“We are looking forward to
building a long and lasting rela-
tionship with UK."

J MU to notify parents of abuse

Phone home: University, other institutions
will call mom and dad about drinking incidents

By Brian Westley
THE BREEZE

HARRISONBURG, Va. —
At JMU and colleges and uni-
versities across the state, un-
derage students violating cam-
pus alcohol policies will soon
get a call home to mom and
dad.

The widespread policy
changes are a direct result of a
bill passed by Congress and
signed by President Clinton in
October. It gives colleges and
universities more. flexibility
when dealing with a student’s
right to privacy, and encour-
ages universities to get parents
involved.

Beginning March 15, JMU
will notify parents of students
under age 21 when the student

has a single major alcohol or
drug-related offense, or a sec-
ond minor offense.

Major ofl'enses include dri-
ving under the influence, pos-
session of an illegal keg, dis.
tributing drugs or being under
the influence of drugs.

Minor offenses include
open container violations, ille-
gal possession of alcohol and
public intoxication.

But JMU isn’t the only
school making changes to alco~
hol policies.

Last fall, Old Dominion
University began notifying par-
ents by letter if a student violat-
ed alcohol policies at the Nor-
folk school, said Tiflany Ca-
puano, an ODU public relations
official.

“We looked at how to im-

prove this (for the spring se-
mester)," Capuano said.

“Students will now call
their parents in the presence of
an ODU (faculty member or ad-
ministrator)."

Virginia Tech began notify-
ing parents this semester, said
Jeff Cullen, Tech’s director of
Judicial Affairs.

Tech has a policy similar to
the one JMU will implement.
Parents are notified by letter on
a student’s first major alcohol
or drug-related offense.

For minor violations, Tech
notifies parents on a student’s
second offense, Cullen said.
Tech’s Board of Visitors ap-
proved the new alcohol policy
in November.

George Mason University
also has a new alcohol policy.

If students are under 21
and violate the alcohol policy,
parents are notified in all cases,
said Daniel Walsh, GMU direc-
tor of public relations.

Its Board of Visitors en-
dorsed the new policy last
month, effective immediately.

Other schools. like the Uni-
versity of Virginia, haven‘t im-
plemented any new policies but
are working on one.

UVa. is in the process of
drafting a new alcohol policy,
said Carol Wood, director of
news services.

The university is gathering
information from students and
parents about what the new
policy should include, she said.

At Mary Washington Col-
lege, no official could be
reached to explain whether or
not MWC has a new alcohol
policy.

But MWC SGA officer
Brooke Dunbar said there is a
new policy, although she isn’t
sure when it goes into effect.

She said she disagrees with
the policy. “Most parents proba-
bly already know that their kids
drink, so what good will it do?"

 

EX-players supporting lawsuit

Many say coach made a habit of sexually
harassing women on his tennis team

By Meredith Goldstein
DAILY ORANGE

NEW YORK —— Senior Da-
cia Kornechuk and 1998 gradu-
ate Kirsten Ericson were not
the first to be sexually harassed
by head tennis coach Jesse
Dwire and mistreated by Syra—
cuse University, according to
the testimony of seven former
SU tennis players.

Afier learning of allegations
of sexual harassment against
Dwire and the university, for-
mer players who played for SU
more than 15 years ago came
forward to detail stories of un-
wanted sexual massages, inap-
propriate touching, and con-
stant threats and intimidation.

Kornechuk, Ericson and
their parents filed a $762 mil-
lion sexual harassment suit last

year against SU, head tennis
coach Jesse Dwire, Athletic Di-
rector Jake Crouthamel and
other members of SU’s athletic
department. They maintain
that Dwire harassed them both
verbally and physically, created
a hostile environment and
threatened their scholarships
and playing time.

The trial is set to begin
March 29, and will be heard by
Judge Jed Rakoff in New York’s
Southern District federal court-
house. Dwire and about 10 at-
torneys representing SU and
the two former players gath-
ered in the New York City
courtroom Friday afternoon to
hear several motions regarding
the validity of some of the
charges. Rakoff will rule on the
motions March 1.

An SU hearing panel found

Dwire guilty of verbally harass-
ing players in 1996, and was sus-
pended for three months during
the summer. Kornechuk, Eric-
son and their parents said they
believe the university conduct-
ed a “sham hearing” by control-
ling testimony, failing to inter-
view former SU tennis players
and denying an appeal filed by
Kornechuk and Ericson after
the hearing had ended.

Former players, though,
have not been ignored in the
federal case.

Nina O’Connor. a 1983 grad-
uate, and six other former play-
ers were interviewed last
month about their experiences
with Dwire.

When asked about her rela-
tionship with Dwire, O’Connor,
who played varsity tennis for
four years, said Dwire harassed
her verbally and physically
during her time at SU.

“If you were on the same
side with him or if you were
walking to get a ball, any oppor-

tunity where you were physi-
cally close to him, he would of-
ten put his arm around you —
your arm, around your waist,
around your shoulder." O’Conv
nor said during her interview
with William J. Dealy, Ericson
and Kornechuk’s attorney.

O’Connor also said Dwire
often threatened players with
scholarships and created an un-
comfortable environment for
members of the team.

“I don’t think I can put a
number on how many times he
did it,” she said to Dealy in the
November interview.

“He would mention that he
owned us, (and that because of)
the scholarship, we were in-
debted to him and we needed to
answer to him.”

O’Connor said she spent
her four years at SU coping
with the stress of Dwire’s con-
stant harassment. Kevin Mor-
row. SU spokesperson, would
not comment about the former
players that came forward.

By Jodi Fenlon
mm HERALD

MADISON, Wis. —— Four
UW-Madison students and their
law professor are working to
get an Alabama inmate oti‘
Death Row.

Jeffrey Day Rieber was con-
victed in the shooting death of a
convenience store clerk in
Huntsville, Ala. in 1992.

The jury sentenced Rieber
to life in prison without parole,
but the verdict was overruled
by the judge who then sen-
tenced Rieber with the death
penalty, according to Fred
Burnside, a second-year law
student working on the case.

Alabama is one of four
states in which a judge can
override a jury verdict, Burn-
side said.

UW law professor Frank
Tuerkheimer said a former stu.
dent who works with inmates on
death row in Alabama brought
him the case.

Tuerkheimer accepted the
case, which he shares with four
UW law students and two attor-
neys from the Madison law firm
LaFollette 8: Sinykin.
Tuerkheimer works as an attor-
ney at the firm.

The students receive course
credit for their work on the
case under the clinical class

“Law and Contemporary Prob-
lems: The Death Penalty.”
Tuerkheimer said.

“Working on a case like this
allows you to learn things you
would never be able to learn in a
classroom,”said Elliot Milhollin,
a third year UW law student
who is working on the case.

The students are research-
ing the jury, constitutional law,
Alabama state law, and poverty
on death row among other
things, said Tina Galbraith, a
second-year law student work-
ing on the case.

“Poverty is common among
death row inmates. they can
not afford good representation,”
Galbraith said.

Milhollin said Alabama at-
torneys rarely appeal Death
Row cases.

“Alabama is starved for re-

sources, and many lawyers do
not feel it is worth appealing
death penalty sentences," said
Milhollin.

Last fall Galbraith went to
Alabama to meet with Rieber,
she said.

“He is a very likable person
with a great sense of humor,“
she said. “He is normal and
non-threatening, and if you saw
him on the street you would not
be frightened by him."

Milhollin met Rieber the
summer after his first year
working on the case.

“He was the first client I had
ever met, it really hit home to
see someone on death row and
how it affects them," Milhollin
said. The appeal process could
continue for years, giving many
students the chance to assist with
the case, Tuerkheimer said.
