Night Ride

by student incidental fees, falls un
der Title IX guidelines because the
University receives federal funds.
In a settlement reached with the
OCR on Oct. 26, the University
agreed to submit a proposal to modi
fy University transportation services
to comply with Title IX by March 29.
University General Counsel
Melinda Grier has advised Saferide
student directors that an equivalent
service such as Night Ride is likely
to satisfy the terms of the OCR set
tlement, Fancher said.
OCR officials are scheduled to re
view the program in March.
“I am reasonably sure that if we
had simply said, OK, from now on,
Saferide is open to males and fe
males, that would have settled it,”
said University Human Rights In
vestigator Sid Moore, who met with
Grier and Saferide directors. “We
would rather not do that because it
would make a significant portion of
the female (students) uncomfort
able (using the service).”
Based on information she received
from Saferide volunteers and riders,
Fancher said she believes many
women who use the service would
not feel comfortable continuing to
use Saferide if it was open to men.
Incorporating Night Ride into
Saferide would be difficult for practi
cal reasons as well, she added, in part
because Saferide is already a large
program. Saferide gives an average of
70 to 80 rides per night, and operates
three to four vans nightly, she said.
Although Night Ride has been rec
ognized by the ASUO Executive as an
official University program, it has yet
to receive funding from the ASUO
Programs Finance Committee. On
Jan. 24, Night Ride directors will go
before the PFC to ask for about
$25,000 to fund the program, Fanch
er said. That amount is less than half
the Saferide budget, she said.
On Wednesday night, the ASUO
Student Senate approved a special
request from Night Ride for $300 of
surplus money to pay for program
start-up costs.
Peter Watts, one of six senators
who voted against the motion, said
he questioned funding Night Ride
because a nearly identical program,
Saferide, already exists. Incorporat
ing the program into Saferide would
save student fee money without
compromising the safety of female
riders, he said.
“I think it would be highly un
likely that sexual predators would
use the Saferide system because
they have to provide Saferide with
their home address and other per
sonal information,” he said.

‘Tenenbaums’
continued from page 4
of the sets and costumes, the tone of the performances
and the music. The use of music in “Tenenbaums” is
like a symphony; changing moods to fit the scene while
maintaining a sense of totality. Some songs are only no
ticed subliminally and others are thrust to the forefront
and dominate the scene. Songs touch on pop, classical
and jazz styles—and then there is the music composed
by Mark Mothersbaugh. The former Devo lead singer
has been a part of Anderson’s previous projects and his
music is vital to the feeling of the film. Call it a modem,
cynical reincarnation of 1950s shopping music.
As beautiful as Anderson’s style is (and it is a style all
his own), it’s not for everybody. Even worse, it’s hard to
say who will dig it. People who enjoyed “Rushmore”
are bound to like “Tenenbaums.” People who didn’t
probably won’t. For those who are entirely unfamiliar
with Anderson, “Tenenbaums” is as good of an intro
ductory trial as can be found.

United States has opened a “Pandora’s Box” of possi
bilities for cross-border terrorist pursuit, Weiss said.
Gibran AzamAli, a sophomore pre-business major
from Karachi, Pakistan, visited his home country dur
ing winter break. He said both sides have been stub
born and that the situation has people scared.
“You’d see all these planes flying around and the
army mobilizing,” AzamAli said. “People are leaving;
they don’t think it’s safe.”
AzamAli — who met Weiss more than a year ago
when she stayed with his family in Pakistan — said
that while some are aware of his country’s situation,
most Americans know little about the region.
Weiss echoed that sentiment. Many of the current
problems facing Pakistanis are a result of the rest of
countries such as the United States trying to force the
country to integrate into the global economy without
understanding its history, she said.
