Dieter said she prefers a memorial that is less “mainstream.
YThe memorial has to make people experience so many
emotions,” she said. “It has to be an experience itself. From
the texture of the materials used to the sound made by foot
steps made by those walking to and around it, this has to put
people through a process that reveals emotion.”
Dieter said she took ideas from the Vietnam Memorial in
Washington, D.C., to help her come up with an abstract idea
of her own.
“What the artist used for effect at the memorial was the
shger number of those who were lost in combat, she said.
“One of the things that shocked me the most about that
night was the time it took for people to be found or res
cued — how long they were buried in the stack before help
finally came to them.”
Dieter said she will propose a long reflecting pond widi sub
merged symbols showing time intervals and important events.

Jim Mathis from the Univer
sity of Texas Health Center-
Houston said it is hard to cure
the sick building because a build
ing that contains offices, class
rooms, labs and important re
search can generate millions of
dollars each year and cannot be
shut down.
Although the conference does
not provide solutions to problems
such as sick building syndrome, it
does put the issue on the table and
allows the representatives to share
experiences so they can begin to
work on a solution.
“This is an information sharing
conference,” Emery said. “It’s a
conference where representatives
can share experiences and promote
campus safety development.”

WASHINGTON (AP) —
America has seen this before:
T he silver-haired politician, the
naive young intern, the seduction
of power, the shifting answers.
Echoes ol Bill Clinton and
Monica Lewinsky are every
where as Rep. Gary Condit is
pressed to explain his relation
ship with Chandra Levy, a 24-
year-old government intern
who has been missing for more
than two months.
Unlike the Clinton melodra
ma, however, the story this time
is both weighed down and pro
pelled forward by the awful un
certainty about Levy’s fate.
T he situation’s gravity has not
stopped TV comics from milk
ing it for laughs, just as the Clin-
ton-Lewinsky affair and the long
unraveling of its salacious details
provided nightly punch lines.
Other common threads run
through the story as well: Pleas
for a zone of privacy; staff mem
bers sent out in public without
the full story; a stream of addi
tional information trickling out
oh so slowly. Even a lawyer for
key supporting players in the
drama is making a remrn ap
pearance: Billy Martin, the at
torney for the Levy’ family, rep
resented Lewinsky’s mother,
Marcia Lewis.
Condit himself, facing criti
cism for failing to be forthcom
ing about his relationship with
Levy, was among \Lose pressing

John Welty — president of CSU
Fresno and chairman of the alcohol
policy committee — said the biggest
change would be creating partner
ships with the community, including
police, to enforce school policies at
off-campus events.
The trustees also set aside $1.1 mil
lion for the plan. CSU currently has
no systemwide funding for alcohol ed
ucation or enforcement.
Adrian Heideman, a freshman at
the Chico campus, died Oct. 7 while
trying to drink a bottle of brandy at
a frat party. Heideman had a blood-
alcohol level of 0.37 percent, more
than four times the legal limit for
driving.
At CSU’s San Diego campus, two
fraternity-related incidents last year
left two students hospitalized for
drinking too much.
