Katrina in the classroom UD profs incorporate living history

BY MEGHAN LOBDELL Staff Reporter Hurricane Katrina's influence swept far beyond the Gulf Coast region and landed in local classrooms, triggering discussions, inspiring lessons and driving the geographically distant disaster to hit home for stu­ dents and educators. Many university professors and local high school teachers altered their lesson plans to discuss the hurri­ cane, relating lessons to their respective fields of study. Geography professor David Legates said he will include new slides pertaining to the disaster in his PowerPoint presentations for his Physical Geography: Climatic Processes class (GEOG 101 ). Legates has discussed the possibility of a devastat­ ing hurricane in New Orleans for years. "I used to teach at Louisiana Sate University and University of Oklahoma, and have always taught that New Orleans is just a disaster waiting to happen," he said. Legates said Katrina is a topic of interest in class­ rooms across the country, which he has seen firsthand through work as a National Geographic educator. He is the only climatologist on the team who has singlehandedly fielded questions from teachers such as, "Are we going to get more big storms like this?" He said he believes this is due to a false rumor that Katrina is the first in a series of future natural disasters. Geography Professor Y da Schreuder focused on the socio-economic factors behindHurricane Katrina and related them to other timely events in her World Regional Geography class. "I reflected on the current situation in Iraq, terror ism, but also on the situation in the Gulf states and how poverty and racial segregation ought to be consid­ ered in understanding the impact of the hurricane on the lives of different social and racial groups," Schreuder said. She said she wants students to understand that class differences can lead to resentment and hatred within the United States, which partially explains why the poor were forgotten in New Orleans. "In the United States, due to residential segrega­ tion along income, racial and ethnic lines, location mat­ ters," Schreuder said. "Low-lying areas are obviously mQre directly impacted by hurricanes or floods, and the poor live in these neighborhoods in far greater number than the middle class and well-to-do. "If anything of the sort ever happened to Wilmington, we would see a similar situation as we have in New Orleans today." Senior Theresa Moore said she found the socio­ economic factors have been topics of discussion in many of her classes. "We mostly talk about social deviance and racial differences relating to the hurricane," she said. "One professor had us bring in articles about the relief effort, See TEACHERS page 12

Professors contend·morality of abortion

BY SARAH COCHRAN National/State News Editor Approximately 425 people attended a debate on the legality of abortion in Mitchell Hall Thursday night between a university philosophy professor and a Northeastern University political science professor. The debate, "Should Abortion Be Re-criminalized?," featured arguments from Eileen McDonagh, of Northeastern University, and Katherin Rogers, of the University of Delaware. McDonagh began the debate by arguing the idea of pro-consent, likening the effects of pregnancy on a woman's body to an attack. "The fundamental question is do I consent to what the fetus does?" she said. Her argument rested on the idea that the fetus takes control of a pregnant woman's body in a highly invasive way, raising her heart rate and blood pressure by 15 percent and actually stimulating the growth of a new organ, the placenta. McDonagh did not present a common argument of when life legally begins, but rather, assumed for argument's sake the fetus is a life with the same moral standing as a human being and therefore subject to the same laws. She argued in favor of using existing self-defense laws to justify abortion as a valid use of deadly force. In her rebuttal, Rogers argued against abortion in even the most extreme cases. "The question is not does this woman consent to this intrusion," she said. "In fact the question is, is this woman responsible for the child she brought into being?" . Rogers refuted McDonagh's argument by pointing out the use of deadly force in self­ defense is only acceptable in certain situations such as to save one's life, not to alleviate the temporary discomfort of pregnancy. Rogers said the fetus should not be seen as the cause of a pregnancy, but the result of action taken by the parents. "Being a tattooed person might result from the tattoo on your shoulder," she said, "but if that tattoo started to itch and annoy you, it would be funny to say that the tattoo was an intruder attacking your body." McDonagh said there are no laws which would require any person to cope with a phys­ ical condition like pregnancy simply because they consented to an action that increased their risk for the condition. , When asked about the many young women who would seek unsafe and unsanitary abortions if Roe v. Wade was overturned, Rogers made the analogy of robbing a gas station. Even though robbing a gas station is illegal, there are still people who are going to do it anyway and get hurt, but that does not mean robbery should be legal, she said. McDonagh appealed to the audience's sympathies at the end of her speech. "We are all children to our mothers," she said. "If we could ask our mother if she would be pregnant, if she says 'no,' would any of us really want to intrude on her body like that."

According to a joint statement by six nations involved in negotiations for more than two years, Pyongyang "committed to abandon all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs and to return at an early date to the nonprolif­ eration treaty of nuclear weapons."' It also said it would accept International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards. In other points, the United States and North Korea agreed to respect each other's sovereignty, a key Pyongyang demand, and to take steps to normalize diplomatic relations. In return, the other nations, including a reluctant United States, agreed that North Korea has the right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy and would discuss providing a light-water reactor in the future. Pyongyang's demand for a civilian nuclear energy program has been a major stumbling block in this seven-day round of talks. The United States remains fearful that North Korea might divert spent nuclear fuel for weapons - a move the communist nation is believed to have made in the past. Washington affirmed that it had no nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula and no intention to attack North Korea. The announcement marked the ftrst time in the lengthy negotiations that any agreement had been announced. Details were still to be worked out, and the parties agreed to hold auother round of talks in Beijing in November. Photo courtesy of Capt.

After traveling to China, Doll added Chinese as her minor and said she wishes to visit again someday.

Bob McDowell, an environmental science teacher at Newark High Burgers $8.95 School, said teaching about Hurricane Katrina is effective because of its immediate relevance. "It is much easier to teach about a real event that is happening today rather than try to bring in old photos," he said. McDowell incorporated Hurricane Katrina into his class as a lesson on global warming and plans to discuss pollution in the hurricane-affected area.

Staff Reporter As an airplane fires up its engines and the propellers start whirling, it begins its ascent into the sky, emitting 110 decibels of sound. As students fire up their iPods, play-lists blaring, they begin their ascent on campus, emitting 105 decibels of sound. An airplane and an iPod rarely correlate in a college student's mind. But the damage that can be done to one's eardrums is almost exactly the same. Since few students hang out on airplane tarmacs, their iPods could pose a much greater hearing risk. Following the release of "Output Levels of Commercially Available Portable Compact Disc Players and the Potential Risk to Hearing," a study on headphones and their effects on hearing, there has been a flurry of media cov­ erage touting experts' fears that the surge in portable music players could cause long term hearing loss issues for younger generations. Dr. Brian Fligor, author of the article and an audiologist at Boston's Children's Hospital, says the media frenzy has been somewhat unwarranted. "I believe some of the reporters have not read the whole article," Fligor says, "some recent articles have over-interpreted the findings of the study." Out of all of the earphones Fligor has studied, he says the ones which actu­ ally sit in the ear generate significantly higher sound levels than the stock head­ phones that come with most players. "For the same volume setting on the player, the in-the-ear head phones increased the sound 7-9 decibels," he says. "That does not mean these head phones are necessarily more dangerous, rather there just is a potential to set the sound levels higher." So, the real danger lies in the listener's volume setting. Fligor doesn't advise students to throw away their iPod's headphones. Rather, be aware ear­ bud headphones emit music at higher levels then the old school over-the-ear models. In fact, his original study did not examine iPods or mp3 players. He is cur­ rently in the preliminary process of conducting such a study. None of his data is set in stone yet, but it seems the results are in the same ball park as the pre­ vious study. "The actual potential sound level matters less than what a person does with it: meaning the level they listen at and the duration," he emphasizes. Fligor says it is a consumer safety issue that most manufacturers do not put stock in and are understandably tight-lipped about. So, its up to the con­ sumer to be aware. But with Apple's market saviness, it is doubtful this research will hurt sales. The rise of the Apple iPod, since its release in 2001, has shown the safety of headphones is not a major concern to the consumer, rather it is all about style. Since its introduction, the iPod has rocketed into a cultural icon, as demonstrat­ ed by its 22 million sales. The earbuds even have a status-symbol color, dubbed "mug-me-white" by PC Magazine. Joe Hewitt, MAC specialist at Apple's Christiana Mall store, says, to his knowledge, there haven't been complaints over hearing loss with the earbuds. "I'm not personally plugged into my iPod all day, there are some people who are. Usage varies from person to person," Hewitt says, "I personally think my hearing is just as good as when I bought my iPod a few years ago." Apple sales are sure to rise in the next few months since they have just launched the iPod Nano and with Cingular the Motorola ROKR, the world's first iTunes phone. In a daring move, Apple has pulled the iPod Mini off the market. The Minis are now being given out for free (via mail-in-rebate) with new Apple computers. The Nano displays Apple's commitment to being at the technological fore­ front time and time again. No thicker than a No.2 pencil, but the four gigabyte model [$249] still holds up to 1,000 songs. Apple is offering a cheaper two gigabyte model which holds up to 500 songs for $199. The creation of the Nano was ~ot just a matter of shrinking the iP<>

THE REVIEW/File Photo Courtney Love, coming to a rehab center near you. Apple reworks iPod Continued from page 17 completely revamped its inner workings. The Nano uses a flash memory player and is virtually skip-proof. Despite these advances, sophomore Brittany Johnson says she won't be rushing out to buy a Nano. "I am just going to keep my old reliable iPod because I like to have all my songs," she says. " Although, I do think my iPod is a little outdated. I wish I had a color screen." When you sign on for a two-year contract with Cingular, the Motorola ROKR goes for $250. With a one-year contract, the cost goes up to $299.99. Ellen Wehner, spokeswoman for Cingular Wireless, says the phone stands out on the market because it is the world's only wireless phone capa­ ble of downloading iTunes. HoNK ''The iPod can store up to 1,000 songs, you can download each song IF" You"RE for 99 cents off of iTunes," she says. "Then the computer creates your own F l"' \N E P. music library for the phone." "It then becomes a separate folder on the computer and automatically downloads into the flash memory chip of the phone. We kept the simplici­ ty of usage, which makes the iPod so popular." Users can listen to up to 100 songs on their telephones, seamlessly switching back and forth from talking on the phone and listening to music with one button. The phone comes with silver headphones, similar to the iPod's, says Wehner. Only time will tell if any real danger is posed by earbud headphones. Apple's technological advances thus far have demonstrated little concern for the risks oflong-term hearing loss. · Regardless of the possible risks, the Nano and ROKR are sure to fly off store shelves. Afterall, to consumers, these products are all about style. The Review September 20, 2005 25 Newark. Film Festival 2005 Schedule
