By Steven Thomma KRT Campus

WASHINGTON - Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, crushing rival John Edwards in a coast-to-coast primary romp and driving him from the * race. Kerry spoke with the North Carolina senator by telephone Tuesday evening and took a congratulatory call from President Bush as the two * men looked ahead to their long general-election campaign against each other. "We had a very nice conversation," Kerry said of his talk with , Bush,"I said I hoped we had a great debate about the issues before the country." Kerry said later he would offer the country a clear alternative to Bush, vowing to repeal tax cuts for the wealthy, expand health care to the uninsured, cut the federal deficit in half, raise the minimum wage, oppose a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and rebuild international alliances to fight the war on terrorism. "We can and we will win this election. And we will build one America of freedom and of fairness for all," Kerry said to cheering supporters amile down Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House he hopes to win. « "Tonight, the message could not be clearer. All across our country, change is coming to America." Kerry, 60, dealt the final blow to Edwards' fading campaign by beat- * ing him decisively in Ohio and narrowly in Georgia - the two states where Edwards had hoped his down-home populist message would reach voters who blame free trade for lost jobs. t Kerry added blowout wins in California, Connecticut, Maryland, New York, Rhode Island and his home state of Massachusetts in early KRT Campus returns. In Minnesota, which held caucuses, Kerry led by a 2-1 margin Sen. John Kerry won nine out of the ten states involved in Super Tuesday voting March 2. Vermont was the only state involved in the coast to coast primaries of earlier this week, casting the majority of its votes to the former Democratic frontrunner Howard Dean. John Edwards gave up his run for the presidency See Kerry, Page 5A shortly after Kerry was declared the victor Wednesday. Leading Saudi radio host visits GSU Irish Music Festival begins

The EORGE- 4A Thursday, March 4,2004 Oscar surprises prove few and far between

"And the winner is.. .The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." This phrase became quite annoying at last Sunday's Academy Awards. Four hours and eleven awards later "Lord of the Rings" swept almost every category at Hollywood's biggest night. This is such a shame for other great films, not saying "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy were not good films, but other films were knocked V.A. Patrick Slade out of the running by a film that has had an A&E Editor unfair advantage to gain momentum over the past three years. The Oscars have fallen into a hole that they are not able to get out of. The awards have some how become a popularity contest that will not be won by the ones who truly deserve the awards. The ones that do deserve the awards somehow get them for works that are not really their best. What seems to happen is a cavalcade of films and works that really aren't that good or worth seeing by a mass audience wind up with the awards. Take, for example, Sean Penn winning Best Actor. He got it for his work in "Mystic River," directed by Clint Eastwood. The film's acting was quite im- pressive. Mr. Penn defiantly stood out in his role as a grieving father. But this was not his most impressive body of work to date. "I Am Sam," "Dead Man Each viewer sees different version of "The Passion' Walking," and "Carlito's Way" showcases a more dynamic Penn than the one found in "Mystic River." The Academy did recognize him for "I Am Sam," but By Mary Sanchez and violence do not inspire - either toward is reality. Take my friend's struggle to justify they didn't give him the award.

And perception and the level of unease in the American Jewish article. Maybe Charlize Theron proved her acting chops. As my problems with this award show mount, I start to question the point See Sanchez, Page 5A of this award show to begin with. The Academy voters don't necessarily look at actors body of work or the film in which they get nominated for, but how much ass this person has kissed throughout the Hollywood community in that Letter to the Editor previous year. So, what exactly is the point of it? Academy Award surprises, not really. Just Response to Katie Glorieuxs 03-03-04 column, 'Its not a matter of religion anymore i look at the previous year and see who has been in the media for the longest, I am writing this letter in response to Katie Glorieux's opinion column "It's not a matter you can generally tell who will take home the Oscar. of religion anymore." While I respect her opinion that homosexual marriage should be legal, V.A. Patrick Slade is the A&E editor of The George-Anne and can be reached I do not believe it is right. at [email protected]. And also, while reading this, please do not automatically assume I am a gay-basher. If you are homosexual, go right on ahead. I'm not writing this to bash homosexuality.

There is no word limit on submissions. A beliefs is, to me at least, "narrow-minded" and "uninformed." Marriage is a totally religious concept. And before anyone bashes But that is beyond the fact.

However, it will be the editor's decision whether me on 'pushing my morality on others,' murder is morally wrong, or not to print the name. Submissions are run on a space-available basis.

So Ms.Glorieux's arguments are not based on sound reasoning, why can't homosexual marriages be morally wrong? and why I feel homosexual marriage is wrong.

Fine, I can do the same. Leviticus 18:22 says, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination^ Further along, Leviticus 20:13 states, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed THE 2003-04 EDITORIAL BOARD an abomination.

ATHENS, Greece-When an IOCpresidentvisitsahost city before the Olympics, he usually heaps praise on the organizers and predicts fantastic games. Jacques Rogge delivered a pointedly different message Friday. Just 5 1/2 months before the opening ceremony, Rogge talked about his expec- tations with a caveat: "If the Athens Games run smoothly and, I repeat, if they go smoothly." And, in a new tone of uncertainty, the head of the Greek organizing committee expressed worry over whether some key Olympic projects will be completed in time for the Aug. 13-29 games. "We are concerned because several challenges are in front of us," Gianna Ange- lopoulos-Daskalaki said. "But we haven't come this far to let challenges like these stop us now." Also Friday, the IOC reinstated Iraq's Olympic committee, clearing the way for up to two dozen Iraqi athletes to compete under their national flag in Athens. Rogge's guarded assessment of Athens'preparations came in a speech at a meeting of the IOC executive board and the Association of National Olympic Committees. His remarks contrasted sharply with his more recent upbeat comments and ap- peared aimed at instilling a sense of greater urgency with the Greek organizers. "There's still a lot to do - we have only five and a half months," Rogge said. "Our experts say if the pace and the rhythm of the work continues, there is enough time to finish in due time." The IOC regularly keeps up pressure on host cities, but it's extremely rare for an IOC president to raise doubts about the success of an Olympics so close to the opening. Rogge previously led the IOC's oversight panel for Athens, and this will be his first Summer Olympics as president since his election in 2001. .The comments by Rogge and the Athens organizing chief also appeared directed at government and political officials before national elections set for March 7. The governing socialist PASOK party is being challenged by the conservative New Democracy party. A change in leadership so close to the games could further hold up Olympic preparations. The IOC issued a strong warning to Athens organizers in 2000 after three years of delays.The government since increased its involvement and Angelopoulos-Daskalaki took over the organizing committee. Security remains a major issue. The Athens Olympics are the first Summer Games since the Sept. 11,2001, ter- rorist attacks. Greece has budgeted more that $800 million for security, more than three times what was spent to make the 2000 Sydney Games safe. Domestic terrorism is also a worry. On Thursday, anti-Olympic activists fire- bombed two government vehicles to coincide with the IOC meetings. Rogge said the Greek government was taking all possible scenarios into account in security planning. The IOC board lifted the suspension of Iraq's national Olympic committee, which was dismantled 10 months ago after the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. Even if the new committee had not been recognized by the IOC, Iraqi athletes would have been free to compete in Athens under the Olympic flag. Iraqi athletes could compete in wrestling, track and field, swimming, boxing, weightlifting and taekwondo. The Iraqi soccer team also is attempting to qualify. "It's a great moment for the Iraqi athletes and Iraqi people," said Ahmed al-Sam- marai, head of the committee. "This helps to prove the Iraqis can rule themselves. Just give them the chance." The former Iraqi committee had been headed by Saddams son Odai, who reportedly maintained a jail and torture chamber in the basement of committee headquarters in Baghdad. The reinstatement of Iraq brings the number of national Olympic committees recognized by the IOC to a record 202.

Special to the G-A

The seven deadly sins take center stage like never before. There was the itlm"Se~en" starring Brad Pitt and .\ [organ Freeman. But before that film was a box office bit, there was Thorton Wilder 's plays about the sins that would doom one to hell indefinitely. GSU's Theatre and Performance will present their annual Student Directed One Acts from Thornton

resa - Michelle Walker, Brian Saxton, and Chris Baldwin direct three of Wilder's plays about the dangers and consequences oltheseven deadly sins. The plays "A Ringing of Doorbells.""Someone From Assisi," # and "In Shakespeare and the Bible," will be presented back to back during the evening of the one acts. Walkerdirects"ARingingot Doorbells,' which takes the sin of Envy as its theme. In the play, a mother and daughterly to con an elderly woman out other money. The cast features student actors Holly Timmons, Katie Brown. Robin Dean, and Kaite Cory. "This w as a learning experience for both my actors and myself Walker said, "it has allowed me to see how [he biggest lesson learn hal no manei how envious we are of others, others are still em ious of us." "Someone From Assisi." directed by Saxton, is the tale of a pious friar who comes to visit a local church. ' Despite how much his life has changed and the rever- ence he has earned, the Father is still haunted by sins of a flamboyant past. The play finds its theme in the sin of Lust. Stephanie Tobey, Bob Peterson, Suzanne Milton, and Caroline Blackmon round out the cast. Saxton says of his play, "It is an interesting portrayal of how the past mistakes can hurt a person throughout their life. It shows that sins that are repented for can still affect others around them." Baldwin directs "In Shakespeare and the Bible." It finds its story in the deadly sin ofVengeance. It is the it is engaged. They visit an elderly Aunt who is out for revenge and tries to ruin the young lover's relationship. Bringing the play to life are cast members Jennifer Pollack, Lee Davis, Casey Metcalf. and Michelle Crosby. Baldwin says of his play, "This is a sexy tale about what goes around comes around and how it can be a very bad thing. A young couple is essentially terrorized by their past and led to an unwanted conclusion. " The shows will run tonight through Marchbat 8 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre in the Comin.

One bad "Trip for moviegoers By John Harris [email protected]

The comedy "Eurotrip" opened two weekends ago. It placed in a dismal seventh place. The film is about four young American on a trip to Cartoon Europe. Cartoon Europe is peopled primarily by stereotypes, rigged primarily to cause as many jokes as possible. Cartoon Europe is a strange place. Not only do they check pass- ports, they force tourists to watch eight-second Shockwave montages of images related to their culture at the border. They have a system of religious beliefs that causes them to believe anyone wearing the Pope Hat must be the Pope. Their beaches are covered with tourist men and their all-too-visible luggage. Their trains seem devised primarily for the benefit of horny perverts. It is a land of painfully constructed jokes, of dismissive sight gags, of schtick. The streets are paved with shtick. The premise of this movie is, "Ha ha, look at all them funny guys. They do funny things. They're from other countries!" In reaction to this, I'm not going to mention anything about the essential sameness of humankind, the European roots of Special Photo our own culture, or our increasingly Eurotrip took a respectable seventh place at last week's box office.
