NEWS REPORT
1) Rose Tattoo Cafe opens tonight
Youve seen the posters, mulled them over, and now Rose Tattoo Cafe is finally
here–an official student hang-out, organized last semester by Alisa Greenberg
’01, Jenny Yun ’01, and Jeff Wu ’01. Greenberg describes the cafe as a new
live
music venue on campus for those musical Swatties who dont have an outlet to
perform. Rose will open tonight for the first time in Paces from 9 to 11,
featuring everything from jazz to alternative-rock. Complete with
complimentary
refreshments, the café is going to be an ongoing monthly event. If you are
interested in becoming a helping out or appearing at the cafe, contact one of
the organizers. Although a formal audition is not required, artists may be
asked
to submit recorded examples of their work. That way we can be better informed
in setting up time and order of sets, Greenberg explains. Tonight’s lineup
includes Damon McMahon ’02, David Murphy ’02, Alisa Greenburg, and the jazz
band Standard Exploration.

2) World news roundup
Ford announced yesterday it will give personal computers, printers and
Internet
access to its employees, all for $5 a month. This unprecedented move by a
major company will cost Ford approximately 300 million dollars over the next
three years….. Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain’s win in the New
Hampshire primaries has given his campaign a tremendous upsurge, placing him
44-39 over Bush in current South Carolina polls….. Israeli and Palestinian
leaders failed today to breathe new life into their sluggish progress toward
framing a historic peace deal. They met for more than two hours, only to
become
mired in spats over interim issues and the extent of American involvement in
the talks…. American Airlines, keeping one step ahead of Congress, announced
today it will create more leg room for its passengers by removing two rows of
seats in every aircraft in its fleet. The leg room under the new setup will
still be only half the space provided for first class passengers…. Sumo
wrestler Keisuke Itai announced yesterday that most sumo wrestling bouts are
fixed, much to the dismay, but not necessarily surprise, of Japanese fans.
