Students, faculty attend restoration event; more than 400 tickets sold

By Kelly Kaler

Cavalier Daily Associate Editor The Jefferson Literary and Debating Society sold more than 400 tickets for the University’s 49th annual Restoration Ball held Saturday night on Peabody Lawn to fundraise for the restoration of the Rotunda.

“A focus of ours was connecting current efforts to the larger trajectory and history of restoration,” said Whit Hunter, third-year College student and Restoration Ball Chair, in an email. “The goal was to [raise funds], bringing together students, alumni, faculty, and administration under one roof to celebrate our collective expe-

Medical Center’s Fontaine Research Park receives bomb threat; officials orchestrate tornado drill

By Joseph Liss

Six days ago , the University’s Office of Emergency Management conducted a tornado emergency drill. At about 9:50 a.m. students began receiving text messages and email alerts, while sirens sounded in classrooms and buildings around grounds.

Only a few days before the tornado drill, Albemarle County Police responded to a bomb threat at the University Medical Center’s Fontaine Research Park. No one was injured during the incident and the Police swiftly and suc-

The Honor Committee named third-year College student Stephen Nash as Honor Committee Chair during the Committee’s annual retreat held at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria, Va. this weekend.

Committee members also chose Clifton Bumgardner as Vice chair for trials , Lindsey Tumperi as Vice chair for investigations , Mary Kidd as Vice chair of education and Anne Russell Gregory as Vice chair of community relations.

“We’re really excited about

our successors,” current Darden School Representative Bryan West said. “Even after we leave office, we’ll continue meeting with them to ensure efficient transition.”

As soon as the Committee elected its executive body, members began training to “effectively pass down institutional memory,” Nash said.

Bumgardner said the new officers have already begun considering their administration’s goals for the upcoming year.

“It is a tremendous responsibility to be elected, and we have

cessfully evacuated the buildings at risk, but students were never directly informed about the threat.

rience in this great university, and our collective calling to restore its symbolic and literal centerpiece.”

At a cocktail event for leaders from student organizations prior to the ball, Bob Sweeney, Vice president for development and public affairs, spoke about the importance of the restoration.

“Sweeney discussed his experience of living in the pavilion as having cemented his idea of how important the restoration is,” said Colette Martin, secondyear College student and Restoration Ball committee member.

“With restoration efforts, hopefully the Rotunda can serve the University as not just a symbol,

but can once again be a living and breathing space.”

Shepard Ware, the Restoration Ball Chair in 2011, said the ball has changed in the past few years. “[The Restoration Ball] wasn’t always as big as it is now,” Ware said. “Going back to this being a major calendar event for the student body was the direction in which we steered things.”

Traditionally, the Restoration Ball event was co-hosted by the Jefferson Society and the University Guide Service, until the Jefferson Society took control of the event by itself last year.

Professors discuss 1948, Jewish history Jewish Studies Department hosts inaugural Richard J. Gunst Colloquium; scholars consider ‘foundational past’

By Sarah Hunter Simanson Cavalier Daily Associate Editor

The Jewish Studies Department hosted its first annual Richard J. Gunst Colloquium yesterday afternoon in the South Meeting Room of Newcomb.

The inaugural symposium featured talks by three professors who discussed the events of 1948 and their impact on Jews and Palestinians.

“We are very interested in how people understood and interpreted what happened to give it more of a human touch,” Confino said.

Panel talks critical incidents Former U.S. Attorney General moderates yesterday’s discussion

By Viet VoPham

Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III moderated a panel discussion in the Dome Room of the Rotunda Sunday, in which scholars discussed the response to emergency situations.

The talk, titled “Our Culture Confirmed or Confounded: Critical Incidents in the Public Eye,” was sponsored by the University-based Critical Incident Analysis Group.

Meese opened the talk by stressing the need for collaboration between the public and government entities to maintain and improve stability and transparency during crises.

director of the FBI National Academy, discussed the formation of the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team and its preparation and management for the 1984 Summer Olympics.

He expressed the public’s expectation for constant participation from the government in responding to emergencies. “The most significant [example] of that and the greatest challenge the country has seen in some time was Katrina because it redefined how we responded and participated as a group,” Tidwell said.

Tidwell added the period after 9/11 helped correct the problems associated with how federal, state and local governments interact.

Casey said religiously motivated actors often initiate national catastrophes but added that creating an open dialogue between religious groups and government agencies would facilitate the better handling of future critical incidents.

Emergency preparedness Community affected, potential threat’s location dictate University’s response during crises

Continued from page A1

Strine coordinates with a Policy Group, which includes Sidebottom, Chief Facilities Officer Donald Sundgren, Gibson and the Associate Vice President for Public Affairs Carol Wood.

To be able to collaborate more easily, the University, City and County share the Emergency Communications Center (ECC).

Fielding said the Center serves as a 911 dispatch hub for the University, City and County, which all have good working relationships with local law enforcement.

Dispatchers at the ECC relay information to the appropriate fire, rescue or law enforcement agency according to the incident’s location.

Barry Meek, an associate general counsel for the University, said the ECC was a model for universities across the country.

“A lot of jurisdictions could learn from what we do here because we cooperate so well with each other,” Meek said.

Lampkin said the University follows a “Critical Incident Management Plan” which reflects national standards, allowing departments across the country to communicate during emergency situations.

“The incident command system was first established by fire departments to manage large, long-term incidents,” Fielding said.

“The top-ranking or designated official

release University-wide text and email alerts during emergency situations.

“If the shift commander [at the police department]... believes there’s an imminent threat, they go ahead and put that out,” Sidebottom said in an email.

Sidebottom said the University does its best to treat situations as unique and to respond to them accordingly. The type, size and location of a threat all impact how the University will react.

In the case of the bomb threat at Fontaine Research Park, Sidebottom said officials had “evaluated [the threat] as a contained incident unlikely to cause harm to students, staff and faculty on the University’s Grounds.” All employees of the Medical System were informed of the incident, but students on Grounds were not.

Lampkin said if the situation had involved a shooter, the University’s response would have been entirely different.

“That would be a text alert, probably not just an email,” she said. “It depends on if the person is still out [there and] if we’ve identified who they are.”

Sidebottom said the Office of Emergency Preparedness sends warnings and messages through as many channels as possible to reach affected parties.

Texts and emails get the word out to Courtesy Toby Loewenstein students and others, those in the Medical Center receive a page and hear loudspeaker announcements, and those walking outside may rely on sirens and an outdoor public address system.

During the tornado drill last week, Sidebottom said two outdoor sirens partially malfunctioned and one completely malfunctioned during the drill. Had it been a real disaster, however, everyone outside would have heard enough of a warning to check cell phones, the Internet or other sources to discover what was happening.

For those universities participating in federal financial aid programs, the Clery Act has also created national standards dictating when students must be notified about incidents.

“Students are probably most familiar with the email notifications that are sent of the public safety [or police] departout through [University Police Depart- ment” trains employees at the University, ment Chief Michael] Gibson,” University as well as across the nation, she added.

The University’s 2010 Security Report Police Lieut. Melissa Fielding said. Those notifications are sent when robbery or identifies three basic levels of threats, aggravated assault incidents occur and a which differ in the percentage of the University affected and the severity of recurrence looks likely.

Fielding said the lack of notifications the threat. An incident’s threat level sent by Gibson during the past four-and- determines who is informed about the threat and how much outside assistance a-half months was a positive sign.

Sidebottom said the bomb threat two weeks ago was considered a “level two” emergency, because it was a localized danger.

She added, however, emergency preparedness officials ask the basic questions of “What’s the situation [and] what do we need here?” when responding to threats instead of using a rigid three level system in the heat of the moment.

Lampkin said the hectic decisionmaking process in the moment of an emergency situation makes it impossible to identify a strict method administrators use to evaluate emergencies.

“They’re always easier to figure out before and after somehow,” Lampkin said.

Student Participation Fielding said her law enforcement experience has taught her the need for emergency preparedness to be a communal effort, rather than a top-down affair.

“As a law enforcement officer who has a strong background in crime prevention, I can’t say enough how important it is for every member of the community to be tuned in to what’s happening and what’s going on,” Fielding said. “It’s difficult for a faculty member, staff member or police officer to be with every member of the community at all times.”

H o o s R e a d y, a CIO dedicated to emergency preparedness, works to encourage students to be proactive about their own security, Vice President of Publicity Kim Duong and Vice President for Programs Abha Arora said.

The CIO is a “special status” organization, so it runs out of and works with the Office of Emergency Preparedness. It formed as a response to the Virginia Tech massacre.

“We are from the Office of Emergency Management trying to educate the students,” Arora said.

“Our job is mainly... to relay information back to the students.”

The organization maintains a Twitter account and Facebook page, and sends the group’s 1,000-member listserv monthly tips for how to be safe, Duong said in an email. The group has also begun hosting workshops which teach students what to do when confronted with specific emergencies.

Arora and Duong both said they trusted the University to take care of students and inform them of impending disasters. Both, however, said students had an important role in staying safe on Grounds.

“Students don’t have to be proactive to be safe, but I feel like the more proactive you are, the more prepared you are,” Duong said. “Just because you don’t constantly find ways to be prepared for an emergency doesn’t mean you’re not safe [at] this University.”

Arora said Hoos Ready will have a workshop next month about how to be prepared for a shooting on Grounds, to commemorate the five-year anniversary of the Virginia Tech massacre.

Sidebottom said people who receive information about a possible incident have a responsibility to pass it on to not only authorities, but also those around them to help improve safety on Grounds.

“This really is everybody’s job,” Sidebottom said. “As a community that is caring about and for one another, everybody needs to embrace that.”

Honor | Committee members describe future plans Continued from page A1 the obligation to represent the views of students to the Committee,” Bumgardner said.

“Our goal is to really drive home the importance of honor in representing the entire stu-

dent body about the system we have.”

Nash said he ran for chair to further engage certain aspects of the University community with Honor. “ We h a v e a t r e m e n d o u s opportunity to reach out to the

community and have substantial conversations about what honor means to everyone,” Nash said. “We want our committee to do the best they can to represent those views.”

Committee members said they were eager to begin plan-

ning for their upcoming term, which begins April 2.

“We haven’t had [a] specific goal planning meeting yet, but we are going to set the agenda early for the coming year,” Nash said. “We’re excited to get the ball rolling immedi-

ately.”

Honor blogger Blair Hawkins, Pat Lampkin, Vice president and chief student affairs officer and Honor’s legal advisor Rachel Satira also accompanied the Committee this weekend.

Restoration | Ware: Ball preserves ‘icon of Jefferson’s legacy’ Continued from page A1 This change, in conjunction with the University announcing it intended to raise a multi-year campaign for the restoration , provided the Jefferson Society with an opportunity to reach out to students and make the Restoration Ball something which once again involved the entire student

body. “[The ball] uses the collective excitement of the student body to celebrate together and gather awareness to preserve the icon of Jefferson’s legacy,” Ware said.

“The event still has a much more charismatic feel, it’s an older tradition... it is an event of the old University.”

Restore U.Va., a student cam-

paign started this year to raise money for the restoration of the Rotunda, also participated in planning the Restoration Ball.

The organization’s other projects include the Restoration Auction, an online auction of University memorabilia, and Restoration Blazer, a fundraising effort in which the group donates $50 to the Rotunda project for every

purchase of a specially designed Alton Lane blazer . Proceeds from both events go toward the Rotunda restoration.

The Alumni Association, the Development office, University Dining, Facilities management and the University Bookstore also helped organize the ball.

“Everyone came out and decided to have a great time

— despite the torrential downpour,” Hunter said. “I think we’re all looking forward to the 50th.”

The night ended with a gift from the Seven Society of $29,777.77, intended for restoration efforts.

Tickets cost $20 each.

At press time, there was no final figure for the total amount raised from ticket sales and cosponsorships.

Symposium | Confino explores contradicting historical narratives Continued from page A1 diary entries and letters written between Nov. 29, 1947 and July 1948, during the Israeli war for statehood.

“This is the people speaking at eye level,” Shapira said. “I do not attempt [to reconstruct] the events, or to understand the overall picture, but rather to examine how the people at that time felt, understood, and internalized what was happening. This is history from the bottom up.”

Shapira used the Israeli personal accounts to question the collective characterizations of Israelis which have dominated the historical narrative of the emergence of Israel.

She said each Israeli kept personal accounts of the events for different reasons — to express self-realization, desire, fear, traumatic experience, longing for comfort or grief.

Asst. History Prof. James Loeffler said Shapira’s analysis is useful because it enables people to get closer “to the authentic experience of people [and] reveals the humanism inside the war.”

Loeffler also said Shapira’s analysis adds complexity to the narrative of 1948, allowing historians to see the “raw materials of history” before they have been molded to fit into a broader historical context.

“We need to tell these stories from the perspective of Jews and

Arabs, in order to get to the point where we can recognize the other forces shaping these individuals,” Loeffler said.

Salim Tamari, a visiting professor from Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies, lectured on the experiences of Palestinians during 1948, which supplemented the Israeli perspective provided during Shapira’s talk.

Like Shapira, Tamari cited personal accounts to deconstruct traditional historical accounts of 1948, which portray the nuanced and highly localized histories of Palestinians.

Tamari used the memoir of an Arab musician to demonstrate the emergence of a separate

consciousness between Jews and Palestinians during the 1920s and ‘30s.

Using a second memoir of three Arabs living in western-dominated Israel, Tamari discussed the emergence of Arab and Jewish nationalism and its role in creating the political division between Jews and Arabs which came to a head in the War of 1948.

Confino’s concluding lecture brought together points from both Shapira and Tamari’s lectures by exploring how crucial “context and circumstance” are to understanding 1948, and how “they cannot by themselves explain what happened,” he said.

Confino explored the contradicting histories of 1948 through

the story of the Jews’ expulsion of the Arabs from the village of Tantura.

Each presentation preceded commentary and discussion which engaged the scholars and audience members in conversations about memory, culture, literature and history.

English Prof. Caroline Rody and History Prof. Allan Megill both provided commentaries.

More than one hundred students and professors gathered for this year’s inaugural symposium.

The symposium continues this afternoon 4 p.m. Shapira will lead a follow-up talk titled “Tel Aviv: A City on the Dunes” in the Kaleidoscope Room of Newcomb Hall.

Incidents | Yates evaluates social media’s, major events’ relationship Continued from page A1 said.

Yates discussed plans to better understand the effects of social media on the public perception of critical incidents. “We’re working with our colleagues here at Virginia and some other

colleagues in Europe on projects to try and look at these issues across multiple agencies and across multiple states’ vendors...,” he said.

Jerry DeFrancisco , president for humanitarian services at the American Red Cross, said volunteer organizations can help aug-

ment the federal government’s response to emergencies. “[The American Red Cross is] a federally chartered organization... we respond to disasters, and we are a part of the emergency response framework,” DeFrancisco said. “We have built a cadre of volunteers over

“The notion is that there are pre-crisis, crisis, and post-crisis, [and] we have opportunities at every point to intervene, to reduce the harm, to reduce the risk, and preserve our reputations going forward,” Kieserman said.

Electoral college

The University Judiciary and Honor Committees should institute direct elections for their leadership positions The new executives for the University Judiciary and Honor Committees — whose election results we have published this and last Monday — receive our attention and congratulations. But it is not all handshakes and flattery. These two judicial bodies ought to follow a more representative direct election process which would ensure all students are engaged in the selection of their leaders.

The process last month went like this: Students from each school voted for representatives to both Committees. This was the election season of campaigns and high-res photos. The results this year looked close for some of the UJC representatives and Honor’s, especially.

Following student-wide voting, the two committees had closed elections to choose their top executives. The Honor Committee went to a retreat where its members inducted their chair and four Vice chairs. For the UJC, elected are the four voting members of the Executive Committee: a chair and three Vice chairs — this one’s for Sanctions, that one’s for Trials and look, there’s one for First Years — a complete, furnished set which would satisfy even Goldilocks. But this is not just right.

If we are to give any importance to University elections, students be able to elect their leaders, and chairs should not be saved for closed-door politics.

A direct election would benefit the students as well as the candidates. Currently, would-be chairs have to

stand as representatives, and some may do this with secondary aspirations. Candidates aiming for chaired positions may save their best talking points before unveiling them at executive elections. Hopefuls may be unable to tailor their platforms for the positions which they seek. This approach could disqualify potentially good leadership at the competitive pool of representatives. The results could make candidates with savvy campaigns, but few qualifications, crowd out those who have got things done and would make better chairs. There are distinct roles distinguishing a chair from a representative, and the former need not necessarily have the qualities of the latter. But the current electoral policy means some representatives are disgruntled for not getting chair, leaving them stuck out of necessity in a position they may not care for. A good chair requires the confidence and initiative to lead procedures and discussions, and similar characteristics in a representative could obstruct the same process.

We do not vote for Honor and UJC chairs, only the oligarchy which constructs them. In contrast, Student Council has direct elections for its top positions, with some appointments, and only those who want to be representatives run, though they don’t always show.

Of course, nothing is perfect, but we can only bring change to these Committees if we can vote when it counts.

Featured online reader comment “If the University wants to acknowledge its slave past, the best way to do so is to make sure no one continues to benefit from slave labor, i.e. everyone who lives on the lawn. To me, living on the lawn is despicable, as you are living in something built by a slave. It takes humility to realize that what the larger community sees as prestigious, is completely despicable. The University should tear down the lawn rooms, and the rotunda, and build them again using paid labor. This way, no one lives in or uses something built by slave labor.”

Re: One Love

The Managing Board offers a correction to Thursday’s editorial The Cavalier Daily printed an editorial in last Thursday’s paper titled “Loveless,” which criticized the scheduling of a bar night at Boylan Heights to raise money for the One Love Foundation, a charity established in honor of Yeardley Love. The Managing Board would like to offer a correction to the piece.

Official spokespersons for One Love have indicated the organization had no knowledge of the Boylan Heights event prior to the editorial’s publication and said it did not reserve the venue for Saturday. The

Managing Board apologizes to the Love family and others involved in the One Love Foundation for any undeserved distress caused by the errors present in the editorial. The Managing Board also regrets that its oversight in not calling the One Love Foundation to verify what was presented as fact has distracted from what was intended to be a serious point about the problems of holding a drinking event to honor the memory of someone murdered by an abuser of alcohol.

Indeed, I suspect that as a result of ISO’s efforts, virtually all University students are aware of the study abroad program. Despite this widespread awareness, only 40 percent of University undergraduate students are venturing abroad. As a student in the Law School, I am certainly aware that opportunities for graduate students to study abroad exist.

These opportunities, however, are both extremely narrow and highly individual-oriented to the point where it simply is not an option for most law students.

Should the University adopt a Dartmouth-style model for its own students? One searches in vain for an answer in Osvath’s column. In her view, there is no problem with the study abroad program so there is no need to consider improving it. Osvath unfortunately ignores many of the challenges and obstacles to achieving greater student participation in the study abroad program. Further, she wholly fails to actually engage with my suggestions, preferring to simply extol the virtues of ISO. Ultimately, this is not enough.

Climate threatens bears Scientists propose increasing zoo populations, maintaining genetic diversity

By Juliet Eilperin The Washington Post

Polar bears are ideally suited to life in the Arctic: Their hair is without pigment, blending in with the snow; their heavy, strongly curved claws allow them to clamber over blocks of ice and snow and grip their prey securely, and their rough pads keep them from slipping.

The one thing they can’t survive is the disintegration of the ice. They range across the sea ice far from shore to hunt fatty seals, whose blubber sustains them.

Heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions caused by burning fossil fuel are making the Arctic warm twice as fast as lower latitudes; current climate models suggest Arctic summer sea ice could disappear by 2030.

Polar bears would prefer to hunt for seals year-round, but the disappearance of sea

ice has forced them onto land or far offshore where the ice remains only over deep unproductive water. “Either way, they’re food deprived,” said Steven C. Amstrup, chief scientist for the advocacy group Polar Bears International and an emeritus researcher with the U.S. Geological Survey.

So a group of activists, zoo officials, lawmakers and scientists have come up with a radical proposal: Increase the number of polar bears in U.S. zoos to help maintain the species’ genetic diversity if the wild population plummets.

And in a worst-case scenario, a remnant group of bears would survive in captivity.

That should be good news for the St. Louis Zoo, which has designed a $20 million polar bear exhibit with a cooled salt water pool and concrete cliffs covered in simulated ice and snow for between three and five bears.

It’s goal was to have them

there by 2017. But so far it hasn’t got a single bear lined up, since it’s illegal to import them, captive cubs are rare and finding orphaned bears in Alaska is difficult.

The Fish and Wildlife Service could allow the importation of polar bears for public display through future legislative or regulatory changes, but has shown no inclination to pursue those options.

Evolved from brown bears tens of thousands of years ago, polar bears have become an iconic species for their majestic size and ability to thrive in the harsh Arctic.

Today the image of a mammoth bear clinging to a piece of ice embodies an environment under siege. Advocates of the plan to bring more into captivity, including St. Louis Zoo President and CEO Jeffrey Bonner, say that saving a species whose habitat is disappearing is an immense challenge.

The U.S. and Turkish governments yesterday discussed sending non-lethal aid to the Syrian opposition, a move that could represent an incremental change in U.S. policy but comes as Syrian authorities seem to be regaining control of the country.

After a meeting on the sidelines of a summit in South Korea, President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey told reporters that they agreed on the importance of preventing more bloodshed in Syria, where for more than a year the government of President Bashar al-Assad has battled an uprising. The two leaders considered channeling medical and communications equipment to the opposition, according to a U.S. spokesman.

Turkey is preparing to host an April 1 Friends of Syria meeting that would include opposition groups, along with senior officials from nations supportive of them.

“We cannot remain a spectator,” said Erdogan, pointing out that 17,000 refugees had already poured into Turkey, which borders Syria.

The discussion represented a subtle shift in tone for the U.S. government, said Andrew Tabler of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Previously, although Obama has declared Assad an illegitimate ruler for his brutal crushing of the uprising, any discussion of helping the opposition has involved engagement with the largely expatriate political opposition groups.

A plan to send equipment to the ragtag rebels on the ground could signal a new willingness to recognize their legitimacy. However, the discussions come as the momentum in the Syrian struggle seems to be swinging back toward Assad’s forces, said Shadi Hamid of

the Brookings Institution’s office in Doha, Qatar.

“Three weeks or a month ago, when the opposition seemed to have some momentum, this might have made sense,” he said. “But now the regime has had a series of tactical victories. This seems like tinkering around the margins.”

Yesterday, activists reported heavy shelling in the central city of Homs and, near Damascus, clashes between security forces and the armed opposition group known as the Free Syrian Army.

Sixty people died, said the Local Coordination Committees activist group. The reports could not be independently verified, because Syria limits journalists’ access.

Human Rights Watch alleged yesterday that Syrian security forces have recently made civilians march in front of soldiers and pro-Assad militias as “human shields.”

Refugees from the northern province of Idlib, where activists say the army has been crushing the opposition using heavy artillery, told the New York-based watchdog group that they had been used as shields to protect the army from attack.

Diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the bloodshed continued yesterday, with a visit to Moscow by the U.N. and Arab League’s special envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, who met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

Russian leaders have condemned the West for calling for Assad’s departure, and they have urged the opposition to negotiate with the Syrian leader.

Medvedev told Annan: “This may be the last chance for Syria to avoid a long-lasting and bloody civil war. Therefore, we will offer you our full support at any level,” the Reuters news agency reported.

But most opposition figures remain implacable in their refusal to talk to Assad.

Santorum wins Louisiana race

Romney struggles among conservative Southern voters, wins Illinois, looks likely GOP nominee

By T.W. Farnam and Aaron Blake The Washington Post

Rick Santorum won the Louisiana primary on Saturday, boosting his claim as the leader of the conservative wing of the Republican party even as his odds of beating Mitt Romney in the overall delegate race continue to appear slim.

Romney’s defeat represented the latest setback in the South for the front-runner, who has lost primaries in six Southern states this month and also lost a key primary earlier this year in South Carolina Santorum, meanwhile, can again claim momentum based on a strong showing in a heavily conservative state. He has won seven contests for the Republican presidential nomination this month, including five in the South.

Nonetheless, Romney’s other victories, especially a big win Tuesday in the Illinois primary, appear to have cemented his status as the likely nominee.

After taking several large industrial states in the Midwest, Romney has enjoyed a new level of acclaim from Republican leaders in recent days, including the endorsement of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, as Santorum and Newt Gingrich have struggled to clear a path to the nomination.

The results in Louisiana illustrated Romney’s chief remaining weakness: his standing among the most conservative voters.

Outside a polling place in Covington, La., voters had sharp

words for the GOP front-runner.

“I think he’s going to be another Obama,” Bobby Massa, 47, a warehouse worker, said of Romney. “I just get the sick feeling that he’ll continue what Obama’s been doing.” Massa said he voted for Gingrich but would “most likely” support Romney in November if he were the GOP nominee.

“Gingrich is a straight shooter, and Romney just works around the truth till he gets what he wants,” Massa said.

Covington is the seat of St. Tammany Parish, where more than 75 percent of voters favored Republican Sen. John McCain in 2008. Many voters said the nomination fight had gone on too long.

“I think these guys need to put their egos in the closet and get out,” said Catherine Farrish, 60, a naturopath. Farrish said she considered voting for Romney so the race would end sooner.

Instead, she said, she supported Santorum because “he scares me the least.”

“I’m not in love with any of them,” she said.

Jules Richard, 67, an accountant, used a backhanded compliment to describe his feelings about Romney.

“I think he’s the best politician in the race,” Richard said. “He gives people what they want to hear.” Richard said voted for Santorum but would have no problem supporting Romney in the general election. “I voted for Santorum just to annoy Romney, really,” he said.

Hong Kong selects Leung Conclave chooses next chief executive; losing candidate warns of ‘dark days’

By Andrew Higgins The Washington Post

Hong Kong’s next leader, selected yesterday by a conclave of mostly pro-Beijing elites, pledged not to tamper with the extensive liberties of this freewheeling former British colony and tried to calm concern that he is too beholden to China’s authoritarian Communist Party.

“I make a solemn promise . . . that the freedoms and rights enjoyed today by the people of Hong Kong will absolutely not be changed at all,” said Leung Chun-ying, a 57-year-old land surveyor who, strongly backed

But in a sign of the troubles Leung is likely to face soothing anger created by an ill-tempered and highly undemocratic contest, his remarks at a victory news conference were syncopated by the chants of protesters gathered outside the venue of yesterday’s ballot by 1,132 grandees.

Albert Ho, a losing candidate who represented Hong Kong’s pro-democracy camp, denounced the selection process as “ugly and disgusting” and warned of “dark days” ahead. Even some generally pro-establishment groups such

as the pro-business Liberal Party voiced alarm over the outcome of an often unruly race that featured feuding tycoons, dark rumors of closet communism and a host of scandals over sex, gangsters and an illegal wine cellar.

The off-script tumult of an “election” in which fewer than .02 percent of Hong Kong’s 7.1 million people got to vote has strengthened a widespread feeling here that this sophisticated and prosperous city needs real elections as it struggles to find its identity as part of China and tackle a growing gap between the rich and the poor. A popular vote for chief executive is due in 2017.

Cavaliers thwart Tigers Virginia pitchers befuddle Clemson hitters throughout series sweep; offense rolls

By Daniel Weltz

Cavalier Daily Senior Associate Editor Pitchers Scott Silverstein, Branden Kline and Artie Lewicki each made quality starts with the Virginia baseball team sweeping a three-game series from Clemson during a rain-soaked weekend at Davenport Field.

The trio combined to pitch 21 innings, allow just three earned runs and fan 13 as the Cavaliers (15-8-1, 5-4 ACC) outscored the Tigers (11-11, 3-6 ACC) 16-7 to regain their footing in ACC play.

After coach Brian O’Connor’s young squad squandered three multi-run leads against then-No. 6 Florida State last week, the Cav-

aliers’ bullpen held up to secure the victories against Clemson this weekend.

“When you’re dealing with college baseball players, you’re dealing with 18-to-22-year-old young men who are bright and intelligent,” O’Connor said. “They get it. They understand that there’s only 30 league games and obviously when you get swept down in Florida State like we did last weekend, there has to be a sense of urgency to what we’re doing.”

After losing its entire starting pitching staff to the draft last summer, the pitching inconsistencies which have plagued Virginia in 2012 are not surprising, but they are costly.

Friday evening, Silverstein continued his remarkable return from a shoulder injury which had cost him much of the last two seasons. The six-foot-six lefty senior threw a dazzling array of off-speed pitches which kept the Tiger bats off-balance in a 6-3 win. He struck out three during six innings and allowed just one earned run to lower his ERA to 2.10.

“I thought Scott Silverstein really was the story of the game,” O’Connor said. “Scott’s got some pretty good deception, I don’t think the hitters pick up the ball Please see Baseball, Page B3

IN BRIEF

North Carolina, Virginia bows out of WNIT Duke down Cavs The Virginia women’s basketball team’s dominant run through the WNIT came to a halt Sunday with a 68-59 loss to James Madison. The quarterfinal matchup in Harrisonburg ended the team’s 25-win season three wins short of a title.

Sophomore guard Kirby Burkholder hit back-to-back three pointers with about four minutes to play to seize control of the back-and-forth affair for James Madison. The second trey gave the Dukes a 59-55 lead with 3 minutes 29 seconds to play, as Burkholder scored nine points during the final four minutes and James Madison finished the game on a 15-4 run to advance to the semifinals.

finished with team-highs of 18 points and seven rebounds but committed seven turnovers and made just 6-of-23 field goal attempts. Virginia shot 32 percent from the field and committed 15 turnovers with only six assists.

Moorer gave Virginia its largest lead of the afternoon on a lay-up with 40 seconds remaining in the first half which made the score 33-25. The Dukes later took a 37-35 lead courtesy of a 12-2 run during a game which featured 11 ties and 11 lead changes.

Four made free throws by Moorer and sophomore forward Ataira Franklin gave Virginia its last lead of the contest at 55-53 with 4:12 remaining.

The Cavaliers made 19-of-22

free throws.

From there, Burkholder’s late flurry staved off an out-of-sync Virginia offense. Burkholder finished with a game-high 20 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Dukes outrebound the Cavaliers 43-34.

Junior guard Lexie Gerson completed an and-one with 1:41 to play to cut the deficit to four. After a James Madison turnover though, Franklin missed on a three-pointer. Burkholder then hit the clincher on a lay-up which pushed the lead back up to six with less than a minute to play.

Senior forward Chelsea Shine set the all-time program record by playing in her 136th and final game for Virginia.

The No. 8 Virginia women’s tennis team saw its winning streak come to an end this weekend with two tough 4-3 losses to No. 5 Duke and No. 11 North Carolina. The two talented visitors eked out wins on Virginia’s home courts to cool off the Cavaliers’ hot start to the year and hand them their first ACC losses.

Virginia (12-4, 3-2 ACC) got off to a quick start Friday, taking an early 1-0 lead after the doubles matches.

A revamped Cavalier lineup fea-

tured new doubles teams at all positions which swept the doubles point.

Duke (14-2, 3-0 ACC) rebounded during singles play, however, and quickly took a 2-1 lead with consecutive straight-set victories. No. 2 freshman Beatrice Capra defeated No. 15 senior Emily Fraser 6-2, 6-0, and No. 71 junior Mary Clayton overcame junior Erin Vierra 6-2, 6-3.

The No. 3 Virginia men’s tennis team took home a pair of huge ACC wins this weekend, downing No. 6 Duke and No. 20 North Carolina to extend its conference winning streak to 83 consecutive matches.

P l ay i n g f i r s t i n D u r h a m Friday, the Cavaliers (15-1, 5-0 ACC) managed to slip away with a 4-3 win, handing the Blue Devils (14-3, 3-1 ACC) their first conference loss in a matchup of the two highestranked ACC squads.

Virginia opened the match by losing the doubles point, as Duke’s No. 62 duo of junior Henrique Cunha and sophomore Chris Mengel upset Virginia’s No. 10 pair of junior Jarmere Jenkins and senior Drew Courtney.

The Cavaliers ultimately tied the match at 3-3, with No. 94 sophomore Alex Domijan surprising No. 18 Mengel 6-2, 6-3, and No. 1 freshman Mitchell Frank and No. 86 sophomore Justin Shane also winning their matches in straight sets.

The match was decided on the first singles court where, after winning a tiebreaker to decide the first set, No. 7 Jenkins defeated No. 3 Cunha 7-6(4), 6-1 to seal the match for the Cavaliers.

Virginia returned to action Sunday, dominating North Carolina (7-5, 4-1 ACC) to take a 6-1 victory in Chapel Hill.

The match was North Carolina’s first conference loss, leaving only Virginia and No. 31 Florida State (15-4, 6-0 ACC) undefeated during ACC play.

The Cavaliers got off to a hot start against the Tar Heels, winning the first two doubles matches to secure the opening point.

FIRST YEAR PLAYERS ‘SUCCEED’ WITH NEW SHOW by ben willis Films, plays and television constantly characterize the world of business as a ruthless and cutthroat racket, leaving many impressionable audiences with a sour taste in their mouths. But what about the lighter side of this often misrepresented industry?

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is a musical which presents the wild world of corporate politics with a comically satirical bite and will be performed by the University’s First Year Players this week.

The musical follows J. Pierrepont Finch, a young window cleaner who longs for success. First-year College student Wesley Webster , who plays Finch for the production, said the character is “very focused on climbing the corporate ladder as fast as he can.”

Webster added his character soon “finds himself way in over his head when one of his projects results in complete chaos.”

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, based on the 1952 book of the same name, originally ran on Broadway from 1961 to 1965 and has enjoyed several runs and revivals throughout the years.

But don’t think that makes it outdated; the production is particularly well suited for the university crowd.

ben willis “Thebyheart of the story, Finch’s [the main character] ambition, determination, and desire to succeed and rise to the top of the corporate ladder, is relatable to a college audience,” Director and fourth-year College student Katie Ulmer said in an email.

Just when audiences think Finch’s life could not become any more complicated, an unwanted suitor begins to vie for his attention.

Rosemary Pilkington, played by first-year College student Natalie Wyman, is a secretary working at the World Wide Wicket Company, Finch’s employer.

“Rosemary’s main challenge is that she is completely in love with Finch, but Finch is obsessed with the idea of climbing the corporate ladder so he is continually ignoring her,” Wyman said.

And everyone knows there can’t be a great musical without a great villain. “[Bud Frump] is the nephew of the president of the company and is the lovable villain of the show,” Ulmer said.

Ulmer said Frump’s arrogant antics present Finch with a somewhat dimwitted, but formidable, opponent standing between Finch and his dreams.

Although rehearsals and other preparations can be time-consuming and

laborious, Ulmer said the production has been a joy to direct.

“My favorite part of the rehearsal process is spending every day with my close friends doing something that we all love,” she said. “We all have a lot of fun in the rehearsals and that helps take away any of the stress that usually comes with producing a show.”

The cast and crew are all great friends, Wyman said, and enjoy pulling pranks on each other to relieve the stress which accompanies late nights and endless rehearsals.

“I have a costume change during one of the songs, and [Ulmer] completely convinced me that I was doing the change on stage,” Wyman said. “She finally assured me that I would be backstage... but not before I had a little meltdown!”

It’s this type of fun and relaxed environment which leads to quality shows, and it certainly looks like First Year Players will not disappoint. For anyone looking for some funny and lighthearted fun, come out to see How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying this week.

This Week in Arts History

‘Ebony and Ivory’ debuts This week in 1982, March 29th, “Ebony and Ivory” was released in the United States.

A well-known duet by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, the song is a slow, crooning melody which urges people of different races and creeds to live together peacefully. Widely panned as saccharine and cheesy — and trust me, it is — the song’s powerful message of love and brotherhood is undeniably heartwarming.

During the 1980s, America was struggling to reconcile lingering racism with the progressive social movements of the 1960s and ‘70s. But rather than rant about the subject or attack those responsible, McCartney and Wonder decided to put their feelings into music.

While the results come across as a little silly, there is no denying the wonderful power music has to evoke human emotions. Sometimes it truly is the thought which counts, and we would all do well to live by the poignant message of “Ebony and Ivory,” which sat atop the Billboard Hot 100 Singles list for a whopping seven weeks straight.  —compiled by Ben Willis

But after Virginia failed to capitalize on a minute-long extraman opportunity which could have sealed the win, Hopkins junior midfielder Lee Coppersmith knotted the score at 10-all with 44 seconds remaining.

After gaining control on the subsequent face-off, the Blue Jays nearly gift-wrapped the game for the Cavaliers with an offside turnover and an unconscionable violation for having too many men on the field with 21 seconds left during regulation.

Because nine seconds of the penalty still remained when the fourth-quarter concluded,

Virginia retained possession to start overtime. But sophomore midfielder Rob Emery whiffed on Stanwick’s accurate pass to squander a scoring chance from a favorable position on the leftside of goal.

“That’s what it would seem like,” Starsia said when asked if Emery got ahead of himself.

“It’s easy for us to stand on the sideline and say to somebody, ‘You need to catch that ball first before you shoot it.’”

A comedy of errors ensued during the rest of the overtime period, with Virginia committing two more of its game-high 12 turnovers and Hopkins fluffing two shots right into the netting of Cavalier senior goalkeeper Rob Fortunato’s stick.

It was the Blue Jays, however,

who emerged from the chaos to claim the Doyle Smith Cup for a second consecutive season.

Johns Hopkins now leads the alltime series 56-28-1.

“Both teams are so wellcoached, you’re not expecting to see something like that,” Stanwick said. “Both teams made mistakes, but they were able to capitalize.”

Whereas the teams’ high-powered attacks tested the waters during the early minutes of the game, defense reigned during the first half. Fortunato and the Cavaliers’ back line smothered the Hopkins attack for more than 22 minutes, allowing only a fluky score by junior midfielder Mike Poppleton off a face-off until the 7:27 mark of the second quarter.

Starsia’s squad entered the break with a tenuous two-goal advantage, thanks largely to the strength of its defense, but the Blue Jays hounded the Cavalier attack with an aggressive manto-man defense to prevent a wider halftime margin. The Blue Jays forced Virginia’s customarily quick-paced offense into slow, deliberate possessions and errant long-range shots.

“We knew they were going to have a great defense, and they definitely did,” Stanwick said.

“They made us work for everything they had.”

Though the Cavaliers managed a healthy five goals during the opening 30 minutes, many of their 24 first-half attempts on goal were off-target, less crisp than usual, or directly toward

Hopkins junior goalkeeper Pierce Bassett.

“In the first half I thought we had a number of good scoring opportunities,” Starsia said. “I hate to lay things at the feet of the shooters all the time, but I felt we could have buried a couple more shots early in the game.”

Boosted by a litany of Virginia gaffes, the Blue Jays dominated the third-quarter to race to an 8-5 lead. While the Cavaliers’ offense sputtered and misfired, Hopkins converted two-of-three extraman opportunities, including a two-man-up chance, and would have scored more if not for a few astounding stops from Fortunato between the pipes which slowed the bleeding. Fortunato finished with a game-high 13 saves.

Baseball | Bullpen nails down Sunday win with double play Continued from page B1 really well against him.”

Senior first baseman Jared King went 3-for-4 with four RBIs, and the Cavaliers tacked on three key insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth on base hits by junior shortstop Chris Taylor, junior outfielder Colin Harrington and King.

Senior closer Justin Thompson made the ninth inning interesting once again, surrendering a home run to senior outfielder Brad Felder. Thompson managed to lock down his third save of the season, however, and ensure there were not any flashbacks to the Florida State fiasco.

“In this sport, you have to have a very short memory because this league can humble you in a hurry,” O’Connor said. “I’m seeing some glimpses at times of our team showing that we have a chance to be consistent.”

The last several years, the No. 1 spot in the Virginia rotation has

been synonymous with accolades such as All-ACC and top MLB draft pick. This season, the Cavaliers’ expected Friday starter, junior Branden Kline, had been at most average with flashes of greatness. Though Silverstein received the nod for the series opener, Kline’s Saturday performance suggested there may be more consistent dominance ahead of him.

Saturday’s starting time was moved to the morning with the hope of avoiding the rain, but ultimately delayed when the foul weather interrupted the game.

Despite the inclement conditions, Kline was nearly flawless while reaching as high as 97 mph on the radar gun. The former closer tossed a complete game two-hitter, allowing just one earned run while striking out six to reduce his ERA to 3.10. As his pitch count approached 100 entering the final frame, O’Connor asked Kline what he had left, to which Kline responded, “Three more

outs.”

Kline’s velocity did not dip as he continued to hit mid-90s with his fastball in his most familiar inning — the ninth — to help Virginia clinch the series with a 5-1 victory.

“I think confidence is everything in the game of baseball,” O’Connor said. “Whether you’re pitching or hitting, you have to have a certain level of self-confidence in your game. Certainly this outing does a lot for Branden Kline. It proves to himself that he can pitch deep into the ballgame, that he can shut down a high-quality offensive club like Clemson has. So he has that in his pocket moving forward.”

With the Cavaliers’ usually dependable one-through-five hitters combining for just three hits, the bottom of the order picked up the slack Saturday. Freshman outfielder Derek Fisher smacked his team-leading third home run of the year, sophomore outfielder Mitchell Shifflet went 2-for-2

while showing outstanding range in center field and senior second baseman Keith Werman drove in two runs during Virginia’s 5-1 triumph.

“Our pitching and our defense have been a lot sharper,” Werman said. “Part of that is just a little bit of inexperience and understanding the game for some younger guys.”

In the finale, Lewicki completed the trifecta of quality starts, giving up two earned runs during six innings of work, exiting with his team ahead 4-2.

The game got interesting when usually dependable sophomore Kyle Crockett — who coughed up two leads against the Seminoles — continued his woes as he surrendered three straight hits to cut the lead to one.

When O’Connor made the slow walk to the mound yesterday to give one of his most trusted relievers the hook after a miserable outing, he told Crockett his go-to line in trying times: “Keep

your chin up. It’s a long season.”

Moments later, sophomore reliever Austin Young snagged a poor sacrifice bunt attempt and wheeled around to second base for the double play. Young pitched two scoreless frames and Thompson secured the 5-3 win with his fourth save.

At the plate, the Cavaliers raised their team batting average to .314 on the season. Werman went 6-for-10 and drove in four runs while the Clemson offense sputtered. The Tigers batted just .208 for the series and the No. 13 prospect in the country according to Baseball America, junior third baseman Richie Shaffer, finished 0-for-9 with four strikeouts.

“These ACC weekends, you can’t really prepare for them,” King said. “But now that some of the young guys really have a taste of what these weekends are about, how tense every pitch and every inning is, I’m really happy with how we’re progressing as an entire team.”

W Tennis | Cavaliers stay close; lose key contributor Li Xi Continued from page B1 point as No. 90 sophomore Li Xi retired at third singles with an ankle injury while she was trailing 2-0 in the third set.

Duke sealed the victory with a win at fourth singles when No. 48 sophomore Hanna Mar dropped junior Hana Tomljanovic 6-2, 7-5.

Despite being assured of losing the match, the Cavaliers managed to take the final two matches, with No. 42 senior Lindsey Hardenbergh and sophomore Caryssa Peretz bringing the final score to 4-3.

“We’re hurting bad without her,” coach Mark Guilbeau said of Li, who is expected to miss three

weeks with a hairline fracture in her foot. “[Nos.] 1 and 2 are two [doubles] teams that should be solid. I know the kids are trying, but we’re just not deep enough without that third pair [with Li being out].”

Li’s absence was felt during yesterday’s match against North Carolina (13-4, 3-0 ACC), as the Tar Heels jumped out to early leads on all three doubles courts, leading 5-1 in each match at one point.

Virginia’s first and second doubles teams almost staged an improbable comeback for the opening point as the tandem of Fraser and Hardenbergh managed to win 8-7. Vierra and Tomljanovic made a furious

rally of their own before eventually falling 8-6 against the No. 13 duo of junior Lauren McHale and senior Shinann Featherston to give the point to North Carolina.

“I was really disappointed in doubles across the board, but particularly with myself,” Fraser said.

“I think we came out a little on edge since we were missing a player.

The energy wasn’t quite right. We got into a really big hole early, and we fought back, but at that point it doesn’t mean much.”

Fraser appeared to be fired up after the doubles loss and led the Cavaliers’ comeback bid with an impressive 6-2, 6-1 victory against No. 33 junior Zoe de Bruycker.

C M Y K

Though the top three singles players for Virginia — Fraser, Hardenbergh and Tomljanovich — won their individual battles, the team struggled elsewhere.

Vierra, Peretz and freshman Molly O’Koniewski all dropped their matches in straight sets at fourth, fifth and sixth singles.

For the second time during the weekend, Virginia did too little, too late to earn a team victory. After the Cavaliers fell behind 4-1 again, Tomljanovic won a tough 6-2, 3-6, 6-1 victory against No. 26 McHale in Li’s normal position. Hardenbergh then improved to a perfect 4-0 combined singles and doubles record for the weekend to produce

the 4-3 final score.

Despite the losses, the team took away some positive insights about their play which may help players later this season.

“We lost without one of our best players, 4-3 in both matches, so that tells us we’re very good — we’re right there with the other teams,” Fraser said. “I still think we had a good shot to win, even without [Li], so that’s disappointing, but we’re going to keep going forward, get a few wins in the ACC, and finish strong.”

The Cavaliers return to action next weekend when they travel to North Carolina to take on N.C. State and Wake Forest.

(NO SUBJECT) BY JANE MATTIMOE

OROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Moody?

Unmotivated? Last weekend was so raucous, it’s like you have a hangover without having had the drinks! Loud noises or sudden moves irritate, so keep escapades on the down low.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Dorothy of Oz said, “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” It may take a while to find out exactly where you are today. Listening to other people’s stories helps you figure out where you stand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Emotions can stream directly from the heart, or be the result of a thought. The stars support you taking conscious control of your feelings. Think about what you want to feel, and choose your experience.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s easier to see the gratification of indulging in a piece of cake than indulging a negative emotion, but each has a payoff. Consider cutting emotional calories by telling yourself not to dwell where you shouldn’t.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You could spend your money on a day at the spa, a trip to the mall or paying off your credit cards. Paris Hilton never has dilemmas like this. But you might feel more like an heiress with those balances paid off!

A BUNCH OF BANANAS BY GARRETT MAJDIC & JACK WINTHROP

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You could wait all day for someone to get his or her act together. Do what makes sense for you to feel complete. Nothing’s so important that you have to put off for tomorrow what you could do today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). A little jump-start is all you need in order to get going, and yet your engine sputters. Instead of calling for a tow, process all those backlogged emotions that are dragging you down.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You feel like a mother hen tending her coop. There’s plenty to clean up and organize, and when a helper chickadee goes missing, you’re left with dangling details. There’s no one more qualified to handle it than you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your feelings get hurt easier than the world thinks. Maybe it’s because you’re always “on” that you seem impenetrable to little annoyances. Instead of sideswiping someone with your paw, show your vulnerability in that soft kittenish way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When the boss leaves you incomplete instructions, there’s nothing to do but a little creative slapstick.

People grossly underrate imagination until they get a live one like you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re still flying high from a revelation, making it difficult to concentrate on anything else. But really, what could be more important than concentrating on the thing that thrills you so?

RENAISSANCING BY TIM PRICE

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 26). It’s a purposeful year. You feel certain that you’re on the right track, and you couldn’t be more right. You’re moving through the summer in style -- this could cost more than you’ve spent on “presentation” in a while, and you enjoy the purchases immensely. You share a psychic connection with Libra and Aquarius people. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 45, 49, 30 and 52.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People are counting on you to show up, and it’s obvious when you arrive that they’re looking to you for direction. Step into the place like you own the joint, even if you don’t.
