The Newspaper for the Ithaca College Community STUDENTS AND SODEXHO FACE OFF BY JOE GERAGHTY Staff Writer

For the first time, all sides of the ongoing Sodexho Marriott debate came together in front of the Ithaca College community to di­ rectly address the issues surrounding the food service provider's ties to private prisons. An audience of more than 230 gathered in Emerson Suites Monday night to hear a pan­ el of speakers discuss whether the college should sever ties with Sodexho Marriott, which began its five-year contract with the col­ lege in June. The forum was designed to better edu­ cate the college community on the issue of private prisons and Sodexho Marriott's connection to them, while also allowing peo­ ple to voice their own opinions. The forum was part of the six-point agreement President Peggy R. Williams signed with students, ending a 34-hour oc­ cupation of the Office of Admission in De­ cember. Members of the Young Democratic So­ cialists oppose Sodexho Marriott because its parent company, the Paris-based Sodexho Alliance, owns stock in the private prison company Corrections Corporation of America. Prison Moratorium Project Director Kevin Pranis, one of three panelists who spoke at the forum, detailed his project's perceptions of S~dexho Marriott's ties to private prisons.

NationaJ 0 ana ! nternat1onal News Appeals court says Napster must stop HUMAN NATURE: UNRAVELED Napster Inc. must stop allowing the millions of music fans who use its Internet-based service to share copyrighted ma­ terial, a federal appeals court ruled Monday. In a ruling that Napster officials had said could force the file-swapping clearinghouse to shut down, the 9th U.S. Cir­ cuit Court of Appeals said Napster must prevent users from gaining access to copyrighted content through the lists of songs archived by its users. Napster officials weren't immediately available for comment. In a 58-page opinion, a three-judge panel told a lower court judge to rewrite her injunction to focus more narrowly on the copyrighted material. The panel also directed the Red­ wood City-based company to remove links to users trading copyrighted songs stored as MP3 files. Napster has argued it is not to blame for its subscribers' use of copyrighted material, citing the Sony Betamax decision of 1984, in which the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hold VCR manufacturers and videotape retailers liable for copying movies.

Consequently, 1t 1s hard to understand what the 100 or so students that gathered Feb. 6 in Textor IOI were trymg to accomplish. The ac­ t1v1sts claimed they were um ting to fight against the "illegitimate" Bush presidency and to protect their civil liberties. How? By complaining about the legal inauguration of Bush two weeks after it happened and sever­ al hundred miles away from Washington? What exactly was that sup­ posed to accomplish? Many people don't like Bush, but the answer to that is not to spend the next four years calling from the sidelines that he is an illegitimate leader. He has the office and he won it through legal means, fair or un­ falf. The vrnces that claim otherwise will be ignored because the posi­ tion those voices espouse 1s not viable. In~tead of unitmg together against our so-called illegitimate president, the acttv1st groups at Ithaca College should unite behind a concrete is­ sue, like electoral reform. Not only is that issue easier to grasp than some sort of vast compassionate conservative conspiracy, it is also an issue that can be influenced on a local, small-scale level.

Long before Black History Month's roots took hold in 1926, the month of February was celebrated for two important historical dates: Feb. 12 and Feb. 22. Let your The significance of these two dates probably does not immediately leap to mind, but it should. It was on those dates that two of our coun­ 1 try's greatest leaders, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, were born. Yet our college community did not raise any flags on our pole for these two men. No teach-ins were conducted, no movies shown. There are no banquets or guest speakers planned to honor their memory. The college does not even celebrate the pseudo-holiday, President's Day (Feb. 19), that was created to honor them both, although it is a federal holi­ day. In this era of political correctness and multiculturalism, it is easy to dismiss both Lincoln and Washington as dead white guys - no big deal. But it is a big deal, and their actions and leadership need to be remembered because they both paved the way for the nation we live in today. Washington was more than just the honest general who crossed the be heard! Delaware. A great hero in his own time, he could have reigned as king of the newly independent nation, but he chose instead to act as a man filling an office, an office he willingly gave up after eight years. Lincoln held our nation together through its greatest crisis: the Civ­ il War. He affirmed that in the United States, all men are created equal and hold the same rights, regardless of race. He also helped to pave the way for a true government of the people, by the people and for the peo- ple. · Sound off on The lthacan's Without either of these men, it is doubtful that we would have a coun­ try to celebrate the history of its black citizens at all. Why have they been forgotten at Ithaca College? Opinion page!

Ithaca College has recently added a club that is one of only six sports to be includ­ ed in every modern Olympic games. The sport is fencing and the organiza­ tion was recently officially recognized by the college. In order to gain recognition the club had to go through many steps. in­ cluding finding an instructor and deter­ mining meeting times. "We were trying to get recognized be­ fore break," said junior Brendan Mc­ corkle, the club's president. "The delay was mainly due to paperwork and knowing to talk to the right people." Even though they have just been recog­ nized, the process was not much longer than for any other club. The last step took place Tuesday, when the members went before the Student Government Association to inform it of their plans. The biggest step in the recognition process was exhibiting a high level of in­ terest. They spread the word by posting fliers and following up with meetings, be­ ginning in· early December.
