HEADLINE: CLINTON STILL DETERMINED TO PURSUE POLICY GOALS
January 24, 2000, Monday, Home Edition
SECTION: Part A; Page 1; National Desk
LENGTH: 1291 words
BYLINE: RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR and JANET HOOK, TIMES STAFF WRITERS
DATELINE: WASHINGTON
BODY:
As he prepares for his last State of the Union speech, President Clinton is generating policy proposals as if he had years--not just until next January--to work out complex legislative deals with his political enemies in Congress. In the end, Congress may give Clinton little more than the gridlock that stymied his proposals last year. Republicans have their own policy ideas, and their mistrust and hatred of Clinton are legendary.
Yet it is too soon to write the year off. Nervous about being tagged as do-nothings in the looming election campaign, some Republicans will press for deals. A Medicare prescription drug benefit, tax cuts for two-earner couples and college students, rights for HMO patients and more spending for schools and law enforcement--all this and more could become law this year.
. . .
Political observers are intrigued by Clinton's flurry of proposals and his flights of rhetoric. "While Clinton doesn't have much moral credibility, he still has a lot of credibility in terms of political vision and the things he wants to do as far as policy," said Carol Nackenoff, a political scientist at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. "He may be forced into the role of a supporting actor--but he can still be an important supporting actor."
Headline: Ready or Not - Voting Over the Web Arrives
January 24, 2000
By THOMAS E. WEBER, Staff Reporter
BODY:
When the primaries kick off in Iowa Monday, voters will gather in caucuses and scrawl their preferences on paper ballots. But up in Alaska, Republicans in a few far-flung districts will lo on to the Web and vote in the state's straw poll by clicking. And six weeks from now, if all goes as planned, all Arizona Democrats will be able to link up to a computer here in Garden City, N.Y., on Long Island to cast their votes.
If these experiments succeed, they're likely to give a major boost to the Internet-voting movement. Advocates extol the method's seductive convenience: Vote at home, at work or anywhere else you can sign on to the Web. And if Internet ballots reverse slumping voter turnout, think of the benefits for society. But there are dramatic risks, too. Could a hacker change the outcome of an election? Will Web-savvy 20-somethings suddenly dominate the voting? Will those who can't afford a PC be effectively disenfranchised?
. . .
Some people believe home voting will be harmful even if it doesn't favor higher-income voters. Rick Valelly, a Swarthmore College professor and vocal critic of the rush to Web voting, fears it will ultimately trivialize what should be a serious activity. After all, he says, the process of Internet voting isn't all that different from Internet shopping. "You'll feel more like a consumer than a citizen," he says.

BODY:
Five-foot-seven Allison Dorsey took one look at his black suit and turned to her 5-foot-9-inch-tall best friend and said, "There's no chance I could fit into those pants. " . . . It is a measure of the man that we are surprised by his lack of imposing physical stature, Dorsey says. "It tells you how much we have made this larger-than-life man into a literal giant. He was but a mortal man." Allison Dorsey has proof that he was both. She is one of the privileged few who have worked for the King Papers Project at Stanford University. The scholarly project has published four intricately researched, heavily annotated, exhaustively documentary volumes of King's work, with 10 more volumes anticipated (see related story on Page 6).
. . .
As an assistant professor of history at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, she abhors the notion of intellectual theft. She even calls what King did precisely that. He might have agreed with her. Still, in the end, it took Dorsey weeks to understand his humanity and allow him to step down from this ideal image, to become a liberator whose legacy was indeed intact.

Headline: Payday-Loan Firms See Torrid Growth in Indiana
01/24/2000
BODY:
The growth of the payday loan industry in Indiana is outstripping even the rapid rise of the much-criticized business nationally. The $296 million in small short-term loans floated by Indiana lenders in 1998, the latest year for which figures are available, was double the amount lent the year before, according to the state Department of Financial Institutions.
. . .
Payday lenders have engulfed a down-market slice of the financial world, making the sorts of loans in which traditional bankers have little interest. "If you're a person who has an impaired credit history, it's understandable that traditional lenders don't want to lend to you," said Swarthmore College economist John Caskey, who studies what he calls fringe banking.
. . .
While fringe banking services, including payday lenders, serve a niche market with legitimate needs for credit, most people who use payday lenders risk only making their money troubles even worse, Caskey said. "It's a temptingly easy source of credit, but most people would be better advised to work on their credit records and build up savings," he said.

Also known by the same name as its capital city, Birobidzhan, the Jewish Autonomous Oblast amounts to one of history's strangest attempts to resolve the question of a Jewish homeland. Supported by some Jewish socialists, Stalin decided that a stretch of swamps and woodland in
the Far East would become the center of a new Soviet Jewish identity, with Yiddish as its national language. Yet despite its artificial origins, Jewish culture thrived here for a time, and even today, when Jews make up less than 5 percent of the population, the region still claims a Jewish identity.
. . .
"Yiddish was intended to serve as the bedrock of a secular, proletarian Soviet Jewish culture and community," Robert Weinberg, a history professor at Pennsylvania's Swarthmore College, writes in his essay, Jewish Revival in Birobidzhan in the Mirror of Birobidzhanskaia Zvezda.
. . .
"The trauma of the Second World War breathed life again into the Birobidzhan project, as it did into Soviet Jewish culture and society in general," Weinberg said, noting that "the end of hostilities in 1945 saw the revival of Jewish migration to the 'Soviet Zion.'"

Yesterday was the day of the Iowa political caucuses; the New Hampshire presidential primary is a week away. Yet when Ed Rendell, the Democratic National Committee chairman, stepped to the microphone for 40 minutes of questions from about 175 people at Swarthmore College yesterday, few of his questioners asked for his insights on the national election.
They were more interested in his views on the importance of city-suburban ties, the priorities of his successor as mayor of Philadelphia, and the prospects for Rendell's candidacy for governor two years from now. The talk was sponsored by the college's Democratic and Republican student organizations, by Swarthmore's Student Council and by college president Alfred Bloom. . . .
Headline: WHY DO PEOPLE BENEFIT FROM UNFOUNDED OPTIMISM?
Monday, January 24, 2000

Section: FEATURES MAGAZINE / HEALTH & SCIENCE
By Terence Monmaney, LOS ANGELES TIMES
BODY:
Now that the future is here, how fitting that researchers are finally getting a grip on optimism, the curious human habit of expecting good things to happen, often in defiance of reality. Dozens of recent studies show that optimists do better than pessimists in work, school and sports, suffer less depression, achieve more goals, respond better to stress, wage more effective battles against disease, and yes, live longer. The popularity of optimism research has convinced some scholars that psychology should focus less on misery and more on why things go right.
. . .
"Since it is almost certainly easier to change the way people think about the world than it is to change the world," said Barry Schwartz, a professor of social theory at Swarthmore College, "my concern is that . . . positive psychology will develop techniques to tolerate intolerable living conditions."

Headline: Reaching Out - China's crackdown boosts Falun Gong's profile overseas

BODY:
It's 5 a.m. and a woman is standing in the park, both arms raised above her head practising Falun Gong. A portable stereo fills the air with a melody that moves serenely up and down the Chinese pentatonic scale. But this isn't a park in China. This is Boston Common, one of America's best-known public spaces, and the woman is Anna Skibinsky, a 26-year-old physics graduate at Boston University. Beijing's six month-old ban on the group -- which combines traditional meditation exercises with teachings from Buddhism, Taoism, and its founder Li Hongzhi -- has spurred interest in the movement outside of China. Although precise numerical comparisons aren't available, U.S. practitioners estimate their current numbers at between 20,000 and 30,000, with "hits" and e-mails to the organization's Web site rising sharply since Beijing's clampdown.
. . .
And some U.S. practitioners are so devoted that they give much of their time and talent to the movement. Take Gail Rachlin of New York, who grew up in a Jewish family and runs a marketing company. She discovered Falun Gong two years ago and has since become the movement's chief media contact. Matt Kutolowski, who was introduced to the movement as a senior at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania last year, gives lectures and edits English translations of Li's writings.

Imagine spending hours at the kitchen table or at a desk working math problems and memorizing state capitals. Think of the isolation from your friends and missing your favorite TV programs. Such is the world of homework - and not just for schoolchildren. By request or necessity, many parents find themselves pulled into their children's homework sessions. Whether it's to establish good study habits in their children or to help with difficult assignments, moms and dads are often in the thick of things.

Villanova, Swarthmore, Neumann and Widener officials say their dorms are as safe as can be. Many have sprinklers in addition to smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Area colleges and universities reviewed their own fire-prevention mechanisms in the wake of a deadly fire that shook a New Jersey community earlier this week.
. . .
Swarthmore may have an advantage in having dozens of fire safety experts live on-site. (College spokesman Tom) Krattenmaker said 40 resident students are members of the Swarthmore Fire Company.
That includes Will Ortman a 19-year-old sophomore from West Orange, N.J. The political science major said his home is near Seton Hall. "I thought it was pretty alarming," he said of the Seton Hall fire. "It had to just be terribly, terribly, terrifying." Ortman said he joined the fire company when he started his collegiate career because he wanted to do something he had never done. "It kind of fit the bill." He said. "It was new and exciting."
. . .
While at Swarthmore, Ortman takes residence in a first-floor room in Willets Hall. He said his training helps him sleep easier, wherever he rests his head.

Reading may be fundamental to success in life, but for about 20 percent of U.S. schoolchildren, learning to read is a struggle. Helping teachers use visual, auditory, kinetic and tactile education to reach these children is the goal of the Stratford Friends School Multisensory Teacher Training Center, said Sandra Howze, its director. Recently the center joined Columbia Teachers College as one of two teacher-training programs on the East Coast that are certified by the Academic Language Therapy Association [ALTA].
. . .
Since 1977, Howze said, school faculty have been trained in and used several multisensory education methods. The school staff became convinced of the effectiveness of this approach when children with the most reading problems were tutored using multisensory methods and surpassed nontutored students. Since then, she said, the school staff has shared information with public- and private-school teachers throughout the region as well as lectured at Pennsylvania State University, Thomas Jefferson University and Swarthmore College.

BODY:
For most of the last quarter-century, Bob Edgar has exhibited a remarkable ability to drive conservatives and Republicans nuts. Yesterday, less than three weeks after taking over as general secretary of the National Council of Churches, Edgar was back in the conservatives' crosshairs in his role as stage manager of the trip by Elian Gonzalez's two Cuban grandmothers to New York.
Controversy is not unknown to the 56-year-old Methodist minister. In 1978, when Edgar was in Congress, Ronald Reagan campaigned against him, calling him "the most dangerous man in America." For 12 years, he was anathema to Delaware County Republicans as the first Democratic congressman to be elected from that GOP stronghold since 1858.
. . .
After losing the Senate race, Edgar taught briefly at Swarthmore as a visiting professor. He served as deputy campaign manager for then-Illinois Sen. Paul Simon's 1988 presidential campaign, and he headed the Committee for National Security, a nonprofit arms-control group.

You start with a decision- making process so confusing that it makes car shopping look like a breeze. Add a sticker price close to the cost of the median U.S. home -- with the pressure to pay all $120,000 in just four years. Then throw in the discomfort of negotiating financial aid and the longing to give your child the best college education possible -- even if you can't afford it. No wonder it came to this:
Tedd Kelly, a Falls Church, Va.- based college admissions consultant has developed a Web site designed to turn choosing a college into the equivalent of buying a Saturn or using Priceline.com.
. . .
Most students do not pay full price for college. According to U.S. News and World Report college ranking guide, the average Harvard student gets a 53 percent discount and pays about $15,700 year. Swarthmore's average discount is 55 percent, and Lawrence's is 50 percent. But students find it difficult to guess the outcome until a financial aid package arrives in the mail months after they've applied to college. And just like in airplanes, students sitting next to each other in classes, are paying very different amounts based on financial needs, talents, and their ability to negotiate aid.

His studious gypsy spirit energizes two splendid books, Lawrence Grobel's 'Talking with Michener" and Herman Silverman's 'Michener and Me: A Memoir." The former was written by a veteran celebrity interviewer who was his friend for 17 years, the latter by a Bucks County community leader who was his friend for 50 years. Both are rich mosaics of a remarkably accomplished, remarkable man who 'held nothing back. I am not saving anything for a sequel.'
. . .
Especially intriguing is the story of 'Creative Bucks County," the Michener's 1996 shrine to Dorothy Parker, Oscar Hammerstein II and other area luminaries. In 1992 Michener pledged $ 2 million to build and maintain the wing, provided the museum follow his selection criteria and a two-year deadline for serious progress. After escalating expenses prompted the Michener board to shelve the project, Michener graciously earmarked the $ 1.5 million balance for the museum's endowment fund. Believing the board acted rashly, he vowed to pretty much leave the museum on its own. Yet, in the same letter, he promised to will royalties to his namesake. Then Michener changed his will to direct royalties to his alma mater, Swarthmore College. . . .

Kile sparkles.
Heather Kile had a tough act to follow - her own. The Swarthmore women's basketball player led the Centennial Conference in scoring and rebounding as a freshman. She was a first-team all-league selection. So naturally, the pressure was on as Kile entered her sophomore year. And, the 5-foot-10 forward played like it early in the season.
"She was so intense," Swarthmore coach Adrienne Shibles said. "She was moving a step too fast." There is nothing wrong with the way Kile is moving now. The sophomore forward earned honors as the Centennial Conference player of the week after averaging 25 points and 12.5 rebounds in two games. She has been even better this week, scoring 32 points and pulling down 21 rebounds in a loss to FDU-Madison Monday before scoring 35 points and grabbing 20 rebounds in a win over Ursinus Wednesday.

In sports, as in life in general, one's ability to "shake it off" ultimately affects one's ability to prevail. Twist an ankle? Shake it off. Make a turnover? Shake it off. Miss some shots? Shake it off. Jenn Risley and the rest of her teammates on the Muhlenberg College women's basketball team fashioned a 61-34 dismantling of Swarthmore Saturday night because they were able to "shake it off."
The Mules (9-6, 4-1) missed 10 of their first 12 shots from the field and trailed 5-4. Risley was responsible for four of those misses. However, the sophomore forward sparked a 21-1 Mule run by making a putback and then canning a 3-pointer. Risley finished with a career-high 21 points and the Mules notched their fourth win in five games to pull into a tie with Swarthmore atop the Centennial Conference East. . . .
