Decision on Internet kiosk
in EMU still up in the air
■ Campus Link would
provide student access to
the Internet, but critics fear
excessive advertising
By Lisa Toth
Oregon Daily Emerald
The EMU Board made no final
decision at its Wednesday meet
ing on a proposed kiosk in the
EMU, and board members said
the issue will likely be unresolved
until next school year.
Campus Link, a national com
pany that installs information
centers in student unions, previ
ously pitched its product to the
board on March 29. The business
specializes in installing booths
that provide free services such as
computer terminals offering stu
dents access to the Internet, e
mail accounts and telephones.
The service is paid for by local
and national advertising.
Although the board put the de
cision on hold, a volunteer com
mittee of board members present
ed their research on Campus
Link.
Student Senate President and
EMU Board member Jessica Tim
pany addressed her concerns
with the Campus Link project.
Tirtipany said a specification she
wants to see in the terminal is the
display of advertising from local
Eugene businesses only, instead
of mixed with national business
es.
Timpany also said the contract
with Campus Link should be lim
ited to two years to test the kiosk’s
effectiveness. Campus Link has
initiated contracts for periods of
seven- or 10-years on other uni
versity campuses.
Campus Link President
Matthew Dinnerman said the
University’s project is different
than other campuses because
there has been “more sensitivity
to commercialism.”
“The board would decide what
they want even after it was built,”
Dinnerman said. “It is our job to
provide a service that the board,
students and visitors of the stu
dent union are satisfied with.”
Dinnerman added that because
the project is still in preliminary
stages, flexibility would be re
quired to address everyone’s con
cerns.
“We need to push forward and
see what Campus Link can do for
us,” EMU board member Bryan
Myss said.
Myss said the volunteer com
mittee’s duties will be to work on
the specifics of what the structure
would look like and include.
Timpany said she has taken
into consideration some issues of
controversy around kiosks, in
cluding the idea of “prostituting
the EMU with advertising in a
student-centered space.” Also,
she said people are afraid the
kiosk would be ugly in appear
ance.
Timpany pointed out during
the board meeting that the infor
mation center at San Francisco
State University was “badly van
dalized.”
In response, Dinnerman said
Campus Link has an insurance
policy and that the California
school’s information center was
in the process of being taken
down and reinstalled when the
construction site was vandalized.
Myss said the board can decide
what they want.
“We want them to work with
us,” said Myss, who said he will
be on the EMU Board next year.
“If we don’t like it, we don’t have
to accept it. ... Until we actually
sit down with them, it doesn’t
mean [Campus Link] is coming.”
Giuliani, wife to separate
By Timothy Williams
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — A downcast
Mayor I^dolph Giuliani dis
closed Wednesday that he and
wife Donna Hanover are moving
toward legal separation.
It was the second personal an
nouncement in the last two
weeks for the often stern Republi
can Senate candidate who guards
his privacy zealously. Giuliani
announced on April 27 that he is
fighting prostate cancer and said
he may rethink his Senate candi
dacy, depending on his treatment.
“For quite some time, it’s prob
ably been apparent that Donna
and I lead in most ways inde
pendent and separate lives,” Giu
liani said at a news conference.
“It’s been a very painful road and
I hope we’ll be able to formalize
that in an agreement that protects
our children, that gives them all
the security and protection that
they deserve.”
Giuliani, 55, and Hanover, 50,
a TV personality who has also ap
peared in movies and soap op
eras, have been married for 16
years and have two children.
They have not appeared in public
together in years, although she
made the point of issuing a state
ment of support after Giuliani’s
cancer diagnosis last month.
After Giuliani’s comments
Wednesday, Hanover summoned
reporters to Grade Mansion, the
mayoral residence, and said the
marriage had been strained for
years. She referred to a relation
ship the mayor had with a staff
member whom she did not name.
“Today’s turn of events brings
me great sadness,” she said, her
eyes welling with tears. “I had
hoped that we could keep this
marriage together. For several
years, it was difficult to partici
pate in Rudy’s public life because
of his relationship with one staff
member.”1
In 1997, Vanity Fair magazine
reported there was a romantic
link between the mayor and his
communications director,
Cristyne Lategano. Giuliani and
Lategano denied the report, and it
was never confirmed. Lategano
has since left City Hall and gotten
married.
Earlier this year, a reporter
asked Giuliani why he had
stopped wearing his wedding
ring. He responded, “I respectful
ly suggest that that’s none of your
business,” emphasizing the last
four words.
Recently, newspaper photo
graphs have shown Giuliani
about town with a 45-year-old di
vorced woman, Judith Nathan.
The New York Post called her the
mayor’s “mystery brunch pal.”
The mayor said Wednesday he
had “tremendous respect” for
Hanover, whom he called “a
wonderful woman (and) wonder
ful mother.” He went on to de
scribe Nathan as “a very, very
kind person.”
“She’s been a very good friend
to me,” Giuliani said. “I rely on
her and she’s helped me a great
deal. And I’m going to need her
more now than maybe I did be
fore.”
Giuliani said his disclosure of
the separation has nothing to do
with politics and he does not ex
pect his announcement to harm
him in his Senate race against
Hillary Rodham Clinton. When
asked her reaction to the mayor’s
announcement, Clinton replied,
“I don’t have anything to say.”
“I don’t really care about poli
tics right now,” Giuliani said.
“I’m thinking about my family,
the people that I love and what
can be done that’s honest and
truthful and that protects them
the best.”
He added: ‘‘It will all work it
self out some way politically.”
Later, campaign aides said Giu
liani is staying in the race and
planned to attend a fund-raiser
Wednesday night in suburban
Westchester County, a key area in
the Senate battle.
Giuliani revealed a side that he
has never shown before publicly
— and that contrasted sharply to
the upbeat manner in which he
announced that he had cancer.
Looking wan and weighing each
word with caution, Giuliani
spoke of the pain his troubled
marriage has created and in part,
blamed the media.
“I’m motivated by all the
tremendous invasion of privacy
that’s taken place,” he said. “My
family’s, Judith Nathan’s family.
This is something that had devel
oped over some period of time
and it is something between Don
na and me, not anyone else.”
Republican political consultant
Jay Severin said the mayor’s an
nouncement doesn’t automatical
ly translate into a political loss,
but it can only help Clinton.
“Remember, we have a presi
dent serving out his second term
who was literally caught with his
pants down in the Oval Office, so
the mayor’s announcement need
n’t be a disqualifying event,” Sev
erin said. “But politics is a zero
sum game. Nothing bad happens
to one candidate that doesn’t ben
efit another.”
Nowhere to run to. Nowhere to hide.
