E-books bring libraries into homes
Digitizing SDSU’s texts has been discussed and would take six months to a year to complete
BY BEN SHORE
S TA F F W R I T E R
That long walk to the library
may soon become a thing of the
past.
Recently,
super
search
engine Google has undertaken
a plan that will digitize five
major libraries, including the
New York Public Library. This
will allow anyone with access
to the Internet to view millions
of books online. Libraries may
soon become a second option
for finding information.
This trend is not new. Even
before Google’s plan, many
libraries and museums have
quietly begun scanning their
collections and putting them
online. Soon, study and
research may be as simple as
clicking a mouse.
Having an entire library’s
resources available online may
be able to help even the most
motivationally challenged of
students.
“I think having a digital
library would benefit all students,” political science sophomore Scott Diel said. “It eliminates a lot of time and makes
getting research done a lot easier.”
Having digital libraries may
eliminate the need to check out
books in the future. In addition,
there would be fewer worries
about books dirtying or decaying while left on shelves for
years. However, the prospect of
digitizing libraries and gathering all pertinent information on
the Internet leaves some with
an otherwise empty feeling.
“I kind of like going to the
library,” finance freshman
Kevin Fickle said. “It feels easier to study and there’s a lot of
other services there that can
help.”
The process of bringing San
Diego State’s library into students’ homes via the Internet is
a work in progress.
“We haven’t done a lot, but
we’ve discussed it as far as
strategic
planning,”
Jon
Cawthorne, associate dean in
the library and information
access center, said.
He said the process of digitizing SDSU’s library or any
library is not terribly complicated or time consuming.
“It wouldn’t take that much
time to get done, perhaps six
months to a year,” Cawthorne
said. “Information would have
to be scanned and we would
probably begin with our special

Israel and Palestine agree upon cease-fire
Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups promise to temporarily stop their aggression
BY SAM HODGSON
S E N I O R S TA F F W R I T E R
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
reached a cease-fire agreement, Thursday,
Feb. 8, as part of a good faith effort to put
an end to four years of continuous violence between the rivaling groups.
As part of the agreement, Israel
approved the release of 500 Palestinian
prisoners in what Sharon called a goodwill
gesture to build mutual trust with Abbas,
according to Reuters.
A www.cnn.com report said Hamas and
Islamic Jihad, which are Palestinian militant groups, promised to temporarily halt
attacks against Israelis, but stopped short
of joining the oral agreement with Abbas
and Sharon.
According to the report, senior Hamas
leader Mahmoud Zahar said “if (the

REPORT
Pope John Paul II performed his
first Sunday address since leaving
Rome’s Gemelli hospital last week,
where he underwent 10 days of treatment for severe breathing problems
connected to influenza, according to
Reuters.
The pontiff also suffers from
Parkinson’s disease, arthritis and can
no longer walk. The 84-year-old pope
spoke briefly on Sunday with a hoarse
voice, while his aides recited the
majority of his address.
The pope delivered his short weekly speech Feb. 6 from the hospital. It is
believed to be the first time since the
pope’s election in 1978 that he has not
delivered his Sunday address from
the Vatican, according to Reuters.
An aide read the pontiff’s appeal
for the release of an Italian journalist
taken prisoner in Iraq.
“While I continue to pray for peace
in the Middle East, I make a distressed
appeal for the liberation of Italian
journalist Giuliana Sgrena, along with
all of the hostages in Iraq,” the aide
said from the pope’s address.
His recent illness has raised speculation as to the future leadership of
the world’s 1.1 billion Catholics.
This week the pope is scheduled to
participate in an annual one-week
Lenten retreat inside the Vatican; during this time, he will not entertain any
audiences.
Israelis) are going to stop their aggression
by all means — targeting, demolishing,
conquering and others — we are going to
declare that we are committed to a quietness.”
Uzi Rabi, visiting professor from Tel
Aviv University, said this is not the first
cease-fire that has been achieved in the
Middle East or in Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He said in recent years, Islamic Jihad,
and in particular Hamas, have become the
informal leaders of Palestine.
“Most (Palestinians) would actually
view Hamas as their authentic leader,” he
said. “The Palestinian Authority — the PA
— is more identified, especially in the
Arafat era, with corruption, with coming
up with a lot of promises, but actually all of
that has come to nothing — at least this is
what Palestinians would say.”
Rabi said Abbas needs to show
Palestinians that he is going to nurture the
democratic process in Palestine, and he
will fight any forces in the Palestinian community that will disrupt this process.
He said only by cleaning up the
Palestinian administration, coming up
with an efficient apparatus of governing
Palestine and removing corruption, Abbas
would convince Palestinians and Israelis
that he means business.
“Israel basically would like to have a
comprehensive peace,” he said. “Eighty to
90 percent would like to have it — but only

South Korea has proposed to reopen bilateral dialogue with North
Korean senior military officials, after
North Korea explicitly announced
Thursday that it possesses nuclear
weapons, according to Reuters.
North Korea also pulled out of sixparty talks aimed at ending a twoyear standstill in discussions over its
nuclear programs.
According to www.cnn.com, the
United States has denied to hold twoparty talks with North Korea.
White House Press Secretary Scott
McClellan said North Korea would
have the opportunity to raise issues
directly with the United States if it
agreed to resume six-party talks.
China’s Foreign Minister Li
Zhaoxing told Secretary of State
Condoleeza Rice that Beijing would
urge North Korea to rejoin the sixparty talks.
The announcement ends years of
speculation as to whether North
Korea has nuclear weapons in its possession, and leaves many wondering
about the timing of North Korean
leader Kim Jong II’s announcement.
The announcement cited comments made by President Bush in his
inaugural address, and by Rice in her
confirmation hearings. Rice labeled
Korea an “outpost of tyranny,”

collections and attempt to link them

One aspect of library digitization that
serves to protect against making
libraries obsolete in the face of this technology is that the full texts of books are
not available — only parts of books
would be available through the online,
digitized library.
In addition, the process of digitizing
libraries takes money.
Cawthorne said while it would probably be relatively expensive, there are
many grants being offered to libraries.
He said because so many libraries are
interested in digitizing and because the
advantages are so great, the grant money
is readily available for interested
libraries.
The idea of having the full resources
of a library available online could lead
some to think they never need to visit a
library again.
“Digitizing is a great idea and Google
is an excellent source,” Cawthorne said.
“While libraries feel very strongly
about people having access to information, we just think there is more information (in the library) that people may not
be aware of than what is available on
Google.”

He said the prospect of the
Israeli government dismantling settlements and the “socalled democratic elections” in
Palestine create momentum
that, if maintained, could lead
Hamas and Islamic Jihad to
reconsider the efficiency of
their policies.
“I’m one of those who actually staunchly support the disengagement plan,” he said. “If
Israel would like to confirm the
fact that it is a Jewish state
within its likely future borders,
it should actually disengage
unilaterally from the territories.
“It is very important for
actually preserving Israel as a
democratic and Jewish state,
which is, I think, the basic goal
of my fellow Jewish Israelis.”
Josh Klemons, senior fellow
at the Lipinsky Jewish Campus
Service Corps, said he believes
this cease-fire has more potential than previous agreements
because Arafat is out of the picture.
“The new leadership is a
100-percent turnaround,” he
said. “If (peace) is going to
happen in my lifetime, I am
optimistic it will happen now
— although I am not overly
optimistic.”
Klemons said there will
continue to be problems with
violence
because
the
Palestinian government does
not control the terrorist organizations that organize within it.
He said he is impressed that
Abbas has showed signs of trying to stop the terrorists — in
particular Hamas.
“I don’t think one terrorist
act from a non-political movement is going to end (the ceasefire),” he said. “It is too strong
and too important — the
Israelis realize that and they
are not going to let Hamas
destroy this.”
Rabi said if there was a terrorist act with a high death toll,
it could bring the entire cease-
fire to an end.
“Both sides should know
that what they need to achieve
is a compromise as to these
two heavy questions — the
right of return, and the problem of Jerusalem,” he said. “I
don’t think the problems
between Israel and Arafat were
personal.”
He said it would not be
acceptable to Israel that all
exiled Palestinians could come
back to the country. However,
he believes Palestine and Israel
should make a compromise —
using the United States as a
mediator — which would
compensate Palestinians for
Israel refusing the right of
return.

IRAQI ELECTIONS
PROVIDE NEW LEADERSHIP
Iraq’s interim Finance Minister Adel
Abdul-Mahdi and interim Vice
President Ibrahim al-Jaafari are said to
be the leading candidates for Iraqi
prime minister, according to The
Associated Press.
Iraq’s Jan. 30 election gave 48 percent of the vote for the National
Assembly to the Shi’ite Islamic bloc,
known as the United Iraqi Alliance,
while the Kurdish alliance received 26
percent of the vote.
The party, backed by interim Prime
Minister Ayad Allawi — who has close
ties to Washington — received only 14
percent of the vote.
Because few Sunnis participated in
the election, this group that once held
privileged position under Saddam
Hussein’s regime will have only a few
seats in Iraq’s new general assembly,
according to Reuters.
The first job of the National
Assembly is to elect a president and
two vice presidents by a two-thirds
majority, which will in turn choose a
new prime minister, subject to majority
approval by the assembly, according to
the AP.
About 8.5 million Iraqis voted in the
election, representing 58 percent of the
country’s registered voters, according
to Reuters.

Is hip-hop music
getting a bad rap?
D
uring the 1990s, rap music
became the voice of young,
black culture. Yet, as the years
progressed from 1999 to 2000,
rap was demoted from quality
music to ridiculous noise.
Rap music has grown in
popularity, and expanded from
being a “black thing” to a form
of art enjoyed by people of all
races.
Originally, the motivation
for many rap songs came from
the impoverished communities
in which artists lived.
Overwhelming crime rates, failing educational systems and a
sense of urgency became
expressed in the form of
rhyming words and syllables.
Rap became the vehicle for
black expression. However,
black America has used music
as its soundtrack since the time
of slavery.
The Souls of Black Folk, written by W. E. B. Du Bois,
explains the importance of
music to black America. In a
chapter of his book titled “The
Sorrow Songs,” Du Bois
describes how music flourished
from the spirit of black people,
despite the brutality of the
slavery they endured.
Du Bois writes, “And so by
fateful chance the Negro folk
song stands … as the most
beautiful expression of human
experience born this side of the
seas.” He further explains,
“They are the music of an
unhappy people, of the children of disappointment; they
tell of death and suffering and
unvoiced longing toward a
truer world … ”
As late as 1992, hip-hop
served as the modern form of
the Negro spiritual. Take for
instance the rap group Arrested
Development, which won a
Grammy Award for its song
titled “Tennessee” — a song
that captures the same frustration as some Negro spirituals.
The chorus sings, “Take me to
another place / Take me to another
land / Make me forget all that
hurts me / Let me understand
your plan.”
Through these words,
Arrested Development captured the meaning of Du Bois’
quote: “ … a longing toward a
truer world.”
Several rap groups have
contributed to the positive
impact of hip-hop, such as
Black Star, A Tribe Called Quest
and The Roots. Unfortunately,
the quality of rap music has
taken a serious nosedive over
the past five years. As a result,
the image of hip-hop is plummeting as well.
I became aware of the negative impact of rap music
through a class discussion. The
professor’s assistant asked why
it had become so common that
women were referred to in the
same manner as female dogs.
Immediately, someone
TOMMY
GORMAN
answered, “Hip-hop music.”
Initially, I was shocked. I
couldn’t help but feel disappointed. I wasn’t mad at the
person for blaming rap music
for the downgrading of
women. I was mad because he
was right.
There are very few rap
albums today that do not refer
to women as “bitches.” In addition, the “N” word has been
repeated on virtually every rap
album since the middle ‘90s.
Music videos are also damaging the image of hip-hop.
Instead of focusing on making
good music, rappers are prostituting themselves. Rap videos
are flooded with jewelry, luxury cars and sex. This is not
what hip-hop is about.
The transitions of rap music
was described by Chuck D in
an Air America Radio broadcast. This former member of
the rap group Public Enemy
compared rap music to the
average poor person who
strikes it rich.
Chuck D said rap music and
hip-hop culture were not associated with wealth 20 years
ago. Yet, as time progressed,
the humble beginning of rap
music grew into a million-dollar industry. Rappers began to
ignore the hardships of everyday life because they weren’t
poor any longer. As a result of
rap’s commercial success, rap
became the musical twin of any
poor person who won the lottery. Rap music transformed
from the sound of “hunger and
despair” to the bragging style
of “look at what I got.”
It can be said that hip-hop
— and its culture — is similar
to the solar system. The sun
rests in the center of the solar
system while nine planets
rotate around it. Similarly, rap
and hip-hop music is the foundation that hip-hop culture
revolves around.
Currently, the rotation of
hip-hop does not resemble the
solar system at all. Instead, it
sounds more like water spiraling down a toilet of material
items and profanity. In order
for hip-hop to make a positive
impact such as it did in the
past, the industry needs to
clean its pipes.

Warning: Don’t listen to Moore
BY JESSICA NAPIER
CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST
T
he man who has become
famous for his views concerning the American government, the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, big businesses,
gun ownership and a plethora
of other political debates, is a
liar. Michael Moore is not so
much a liar in the sense that he
states false facts; he simply
extends and manipulates the
truth.
His latest documentary,
Fahrenheit 9/11, was released in
the summer of 2004, and only
a few months later, Moore’s
very own production tactics
were used against him. In a
period of three months, three
different documentaries exposing the truth behind Moore, his
books and his movies, were
produced. These books were
written with the purpose to
reveal the inconsistencies
behind Moore’s work. Also,
there are also plenty of Web
sites that divulge Moore’s
many extensions of the truth.
Even though people may not
react to what Moore has to say,
people continue to at least listen to him.
Why listen to a man who
claims to be the poster child
for the working class, yet owns
a $1.9 million apartment two
blocks from Central Park and
sends his child to private
school? “Newsweek wrote that
I live in a penthouse on
Central Park West … I live
above a Baby Gap store, and
not on any park,” Moore stated
on his official Web site,
www.michaelmoore.com. Moore’s
apartment is a classic example
of how he attempts to extend
or not tell the whole truth. The
man does have a way with
words; he uses the same strategy in his documentaries and
books.
In another one of his documentaries, Bowling for
Columbine, Moore criticizes the
state of Michigan’s welfare-towork program. According to
www.bowlingfortruth.com,
Moore tells the story of a 6year-old girl in Flint, Mich.
who was shot by a 6-year-old
boy at school. Moore blames
the welfare-to-work program
because the young boy’s mother was forced to work instead
of spending time with her son.
What Moore did not mention
in his documentary was that
the boy and his mother lived
in a crack house where there
was attainable access to a gun.
Moore also failed to explain
that the boy had been suspended from school three previous times, and was forced to
stay after school almost every
day for violent behavior.
These lies are the foundation of why this man is successful; he knows how to
appeal to people’s emotions.
Institutions that should be able
to see straight through his lies
are giving him the most attention. To prepare and give a
speech, Moore charged Utah
Valley State College $40,000,
Xavier University $25,000 and
the University of New Mexico
$35,000, according to
www.mooreexposed.com. That’s a
total of $100,000 — so much
for being part of the working
class.
A man named Michael
Wilson had the idea to create a
documentary exposing the real
Michael Moore. In October
2004, Wilson released his documentary titled Michael Moore
Hates America. Wilson’s goal
was simply to reveal Moore’s
lies and show the positive side
of what it means to be an
American. Wilson attempted to
schedule an interview with
Moore, but instead of agreeing
to an interview, Moore shot
down Wilson, according to
www.renewamerica.us. Why
wouldn’t Moore give Wilson
an interview?
Probably because Moore is
just as aware of his lies as
many other Americans are
beginning to be. There is a clip
in Michael Moore Hates America
which quotes Moore saying,
“The best lies, the ones that
work, have a small kernel of
truth to them.” This encompasses his strategy. He reveals
as little as possible, but just
enough to make people question the facts he presents.
This is a plea to anyone
who has a brain: Do not listen
to this man. He is a hypocrite
to the things he stands for. He
understands why he’s so successful too; in his own words,
“I’m a millionaire, I’m a multimillionaire. I’m filthy rich. You
know why I’m a multi-millionaire? ‘Cause multi-millions like
what I do,” according to
www.foxnews.com. Save yourself time from his tampered
facts and pay no more attention to the real Michael Moore.

Although many will analyze
and speculate what areas a team
must improve on to get over a
tough loss, the solution is
always quite simple: Go out and
win. Following its 7-0 loss to
UCLA in its previous contest,
the San Diego State men’s tennis team did just that against

The Aztecs won a nail-biter
in a game they badly needed
after the big loss suffered
against the Bruins last week.
Along with getting its confidence back, SDSU also re-
gained an above-.500 record
and momentum into its next

But the victory would be bittersweet,
as sophomore Christian Groh went down
with an ankle injury early on. With Groh’s
current prognosis he is expected to miss
between three and six weeks of action. In
Carswell’s eyes, that is a very big loss,
considering the high hopes the Aztecs

he feels as though his squad learned a
valuable lesson against UCLA and converted into a win Sunday.
“We learned a few things ourselves
against UCLA,” Carswell said. “Christian

biggest loss. I would say even without
Christian, we passed the test.”
SDSU is now at a mark of 3-2 and
Carswell has confidence that his team can
do much better and will progress in all
areas as the season continues. What
makes the Aztecs feel a little bit better
about their record is that their two losses

we know our ability.”
SDSU is set to square off against
Fresno State in its next match. The contest
will take place 1 p.m. Feb. 21 at the SDSU
Courts. Carswell stressed the importance
of not letting the Aztecs’ previous win get
to his team’s head and not looking past its
upcoming opponents.
“We’re going to be playing another
team that’s similar,” Carswell said.
“They’re very strong year in and year out
and a team we can’t underestimate.”
