Neat places to go on campus

While going to school here you should visit the neat places here on campus, and there are lots. The first is the big tree down by the lake that you can sit in. It used to be called Dead Dog Tree. This is because back in 1789, before the school was here. there used to be a farm here, called McWackentavern's Farm. And McWacken- tavern 's wife got Scott Little really lonely during the days, so she got nine dogs to keep her company. A just a little raccoon bit one of them. and soon all nine dogs got rabies. Then the farmers hung them from that tree to remind them of just how great dogs are. Another neat place to go is out behind Carroll Hall. If you are there at the right time you can see helicopters land out on the helicopter pad. Ooooooo. If you've never seen a helicopter land you don't know what you're missing. It wouldn't hurt to bring some grapefruits and corn too and throw it at the propeller. If you're feeling adventurous, you'll visit the underwater city in St. Mary's Lake.

Wednesday, March 8, 2000 The Observer+ PAID ADVERTISEMENT page 15 An Open Letter to the Notre Dame Community from the University's Task Force on Anti-sweatshop Initiatives

The University of Notre Dame has been the national leader on the anti-sweatshop issue for more than three years. Notre Dame was the first university to establish a code of conduct for its licensees and Notre Dame is the only university that actually has monitored facto­ ries where its products are manufactured. More recently, Notre Dame has initiated a pilot program in Mexico and Central America that will incorporate human rights and labor activists, Church officials and other representatives of local nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) into the University's monitoring pro­ gram. These representatives will help to determine which factories are to be monitored, they will be active participants in the monitoring process, and they will recommend appropriate follow-up actions when problems are found. The University also has adopted the strongest provision of any college or university with respect to freedom of association and the rights of workers to organize. As this provision is implemented, Notre Dame products no longer will be produced in countries such as China which provide no legal right to organize. This semester, the Task Force on Anti-sweatshop Initiatives is addressing further issues, notably the living wage and women's rights, and will make additional recommendations on these issues to Father Malloy. The most recent anti-swea_tshop issue to emerge involves the Fair Labor Association (FLA), of which Notre Dame is a member, and a proposed new anti-sweatshop organization, the Workers Rights Consortium (WRC), which the University has been asked to join. On sev­ eral campuses, sit-ins have been staged on this issue, with activists demanding that the institutions withdraw from the FLA and opt instead for membership in the proposed WRC. From the beginning, the University has adopted a broad-based, inclusive approach to anti-sweatshop organizations. In addition to becoming a member of the Fair Labor Association, Notre Dame has joined with Harvard to organize an initiative that now includes the University of California system, the University of Michigan, and Ohio State University. Notre Dame also has joined an initiative of the full Ivy Group of Schools an~ is playing a leading role in forming a consortium of colleges and universities to address the living wage issue. The WRC at present is in the conceptual stage. An organizational meeting is to be held in April and the Anti-sweatshop Task Force has formally requested that the WRC allow one of our student members to attend this meeting to gather information. The University will consider WRC membership in the same manner as it has considered membership in other organizations. It will consider the WRC's philoso­ phy, plan of action, organizational structure, membership requirements, budgeting and staffing, and other pertinent matters. It is worth not­ ing that several of the institutions which so far have agreed to join the WRC have done so "conditionally," precisely because so many aspects of the proposed organization remain to be determined. In fact, it is not even clear at this point what "conditional" membership means. Notre Dame will consider joining the WRC, but will need more information concerning the WRC's proposals before it can make a reasoned judgment on membership. At the same time, the University does not believe that membership in the WRC and the FLA are mutually exclusive. Nor does Brown University, which agreed to membership in the WRC while asserting that it will "remain a fully committed member of the FLA." Notre Dame chose to join the FLA after careful consideration and, since joining, has played a leadership role in its university advisory council. Carol Kaesebier, the University's vice president and general counsel, is one of the organization's founding cochairs and has been instrumen­ tal in its growth to more than 130 colleges and universities. At the same time, the FLA is less than a year old and hasn't yet had time to prove or disprove its potential. The University's goal for the FLA is to see its members, including its industry members, attack the sweat­ shop problem on much the same basis as the University is, and the University remains committed to achieving this goal. In announcing his university's decision to the join the WRC, Gordon Gee, Brown's president, said, "I am willing to have Brown join the WRC as a founding member. However, the university will remain a member only ifit becomes clear, through the further development of the consortium and the FLA, that the two organizations can operate in a complementary fashion." Should they be forced to choose between the organizations, Gee said, "We will choose the organization that makes the greatest effort to work collaboratively with the other." Given this strong statement by one of the first universities to join the WRC, there clearly is no reason for Notre Dame to believe that joining the WRC would in any way require the University to leave the FLA. First and foremost, Notre Dame will continue to focus its energies on its own anti-sweatshop initiatives. The initiatives already put in place by the University are well beyond the progress to date of any other college or university or organization of schools addressing the sweatshop issue. While the University will continue to investigate and pursue opportunities as a member of various groups concerned with the issue, its priority will be to carry out and expand its own efforts to strengthen its code of conduct, increase its monitoring activities, establish its pilot monitoring program, and pursue new initiatives with respect to the living wage, women's rights and other sweatshop-relat­ ed concerns.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Irish seek first -ever Big East tournament victory

By BRIAN KESSLER Sports Editor

NEW YORK Notre Dame's impressive 23-point victory over Georgetown last weekend was a relief for sophomore captain Troy Murphy after watching his team drop three straight games down the stretch. But it was the news after the game that really made his day. West Virginia had just beaten Rutgers, dropping the Scarlet Knights (15-14, 6-1 0) to the No. 10 seed in the Big East Tournament and See Also setting up a showdown "Murphy sets with the No. 7 seeded Irish (17-13, 8-8) tonight at standards, wins 7:30 p.m. at Madison Big East player Square Garden. Murphy, who hails from of the year" Morristown, N.J., was page21 heavily recruited by Rutgers and takes a fair share of verbal abuse every time the Irish play the Scarlet Knights on the road. ''I'm happy to have another shot at Rutgers," Murphy said about the first-round match up. ''I'm looking forward to that." And so are the rest of the Irish. Notre Dame suffered its worst defeat of the season at the Louis Brown Athletic Center in mid­ January and will be looking to avenge that 25-point loss. Hutgers freshman Todd Billet led the way for the Scarlet Knights with 31 points on eight 3-point field goals while Mikn Tompson and Eugene Dabney each grabbed 10 rebounds for Rutgers. "I guess we've got another shot at them," said freshman shooting guard Matt Carroll, who averages nearly 10 points per game. "Hopefully we can change it !ind have a dif­ ferent outcome from the last game."
