THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 2001 2 THE ITHACAN Natii~~I international News Milosevic remanded to prison for 30 days Disgraced ex-President Slobodan Milosevic was inter­ rogated for several hours Sunday by an investigating judge, and remanded to Belgrade's Central Prison for 30 days pend­ ing further investigation of graft and corruption charges. "He has his own cell. He can wear his own underwear and shoes. He is not being subjected to any special psychological pressures," said Serbian Justice Minister Vladan Batie. Behind the gates of the drab gray concrete prison, Milo­ sevic's lawyer Toma Fila put it another way: "This is a Balkan jail, it's not the Hyatt Regency." Fila said Milosevic pleaded innocent and had appealed his 30-day detention. The past few days have been a roller coaster ride for Yu­ goslavia and a far fall for Milosevic, who - even m his fi­ nal hours in the presidential palace - seemed to think he could escape the consequences of his decade of misrule. After two botched attempts to arrest Milosev1c, on Fri­ day night and early Saturday morning, Yugoslavia's fledg­ ling democratic government was in a tight spot of its own. According to a senior Western diplomat, some members of the 18-party ruling coalition were concerned that it would look weak to arrest Milosevic on the March 31 deadline im­ posed by the U.S. Congress; others were concerned that the criminal cases against Milosevic were less than airtight; still others were loath to arrest him under any circumstance.

APRIL 5, 2001 IN THE NATION FOR 1999 PAGE 10 NAMED BEST COLLEGE WEEKLY IN NEW YORK FOR 1999 & 2000 ~1n1on Editorials MOW GlOBAL WAeM\MG- OC.C.U~ ... Speaker is no example A heroic former hostage, a world-renowned poet and an actor hon­ ored by the United Nat10ns for using his fame for the good of others. These were the commencement speakers at Ithaca College in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Each one, Terry Anderson, Maya Angelou and Hen­ ry Winkler, wa~ not only famous for accomplishments great and small, but for being both an example and a role model Angelou uses her poetry and speeches to ~pread a me:,sagc of peace and understanding. Anderson persevered in the face of unimaginable hardship and now shares his story with others. Winkler has turned fleet­ ing fame mto a positive contribution by devoting himself to the cause of handicapped and special-needs children. All of these speakers were people graduating classes could be proud to host because they were people after whom seniors could be proud to pattern their lives. Because of this wonderful tradition, it is hard to accept the com­ ing induction of Gail Sheehy into the ranks of Ithaca College com­ mencement speakers. Sheehy's qualifications as a role model are dubious at best. Her fame, perhaps better.classified as her notoriety, is based upon a 25-year-old book, "Passages," that sat atop the New York Times bestseller list. She would later be sued for plagiarism by a psychiatrist who consulted on the pop psychology work. Settlement of that claim cost her $10,000 and IO percent of the book's royalties. Rather than being an aberration, claims of sloppy writing, research and journalism have plagued Sheehy throughout her career. Recent­ ly, she made numerous and ridiculous factual errors in her 1990 bi­ ography of Mikhail Gorbachev and in her 1999 biography of Hillary Letters Clinton.

'f , THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 2001 THE ITHACAN 25 Bomber Kounaup Thursday Baseball

BY ABIGAIL FUNK Staff Writer

The baseball team didn't exactly get back into the baseball season the way they want­ ed after a 12-day layoff as it lost a close game to Mansfield, 8-7, Thursday. The Bombers tried to catch up after an 8-0 lead by the Mountaineers after the first inning. They were in contention for the win, - or at least a tie, as they had runners in scor­ ing positions in both the eighth and ninth innings, in addition to scoring two runs in the eighth. In the first inning, Mansfield senior RJ. Lee hit two home runs, his fifth and sixth of the season. Ithaca senior Garret Baron turned in a strong performance with three hits. Senior co-captain Ron Amato had four RBI's, one of which brought Baron home in the sec­ ond inning.
