Bush officials warn
of future terrorist acts
WASHINGTON, D.C. — President
Bush’s top intelligence and military
officials said Wednesday that terror
ists are regrouping for possible new
strikes against the United States.
They said the best defense was for
Congress to approve the president’s
military and anti-terror budget. But
some in Congress, including promi
nent Republicans, were questioning
some of that spending.
Offering few specifics on terror
threats, Defense Secretary Donald H.
Rumsfeld told a House hearing that
the government could reasonably
predict terrorist attacks would come
from weapons of mass destruction
and other means.

Judge: Panel shares ideas
on expectations, challenges

in turn helped eliminate a lot of
stereotypes, Schroeder said.
Still, women and minorities are
underrepresented in some re
spects. Schroeder gave the exam
ple of the Judicial Conference of
the United States, made up in part
by the chief judges of the 13 cir
cuit courts of appeal: Apart from
the chief justice, it has 22 men,
4 women and no minorities.
She said as more women have
entered the field over the years, the
profession has become more
mobile and flexible.
“The profession is still a highly
structured hierarchy, but it’s much
less stratified than it used to be,”
she said.
Schroeder’s speech was preceded
by a panel discussion in which sev
eral women in the field of law shared
their perspectives on what it means
to be a woman in the profession.
United States Magistrate Judge
Janice Stewart said women have to
balance two full time jobs — their
profession and their work at home.
“I don’t know any men that face
that challenge of two jobs,” Stew
art said.
U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken
said it can be difficult to live up to
all the expectations that come with
being in professional positions.
“I think it’s a constant daily bat
tle to stay who you are,” Aiken
said, adding that people shouldn’t
forget that despite their desires to
excel and be “uber lawyers ... you
have to be a person first.”
Women at times also have to put
up a tough front in the work place.
“In the work that I do ... you re
ally can’t show any fear,” U.S. At
torney Karin Immergut said.
Schroeder said the key to suc
cess in any job is to have a sense
of humor.

MADD: Proceeds might help
finance advertising campaign

$1,400 through a raffle for MADD
and spoke with Stoeffler about her
fundraising efforts.
“I spoke to Barbara on the
phone and proposed my idea for
doing a raffle,” she said. “I think
it’s a great organization and the
things she said were just really
meaningful, and they show that
this is a worthwhile cause.”
“I think a lot of people are just
not educated enough about the ef
fects of any alcohol whatsoever on
how it impairs your driving,”
Scheinman said. “I think education
is the most important thing be
cause people don’t realize that they
are drunk driving a lot of the time.”
The money raised by the Univer
sity sororities and the Beta Theta Pi
fraternity will possibly be used for
an advertising campaign for
MADD, Stoeffler said.
The reason for telling others
about her son’s death and for her
involvement with MADD is simple.
“It’s to save lives,” she said.
