Extractions: The goal of the modern legal system is rehabilitation, an attempt to transform destructive members of society into productive community members. The eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth philosophy of capital punishment represents a barbaric medieval mindset. This mindset does not reflect modern American values. Our justice system is not an institution of revenge, but rather an institution of rehabilitation. Capital punishment does not rehabilitate inmates, but only serves for revenge. Some may argue that an inmate with a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, is as useless as those inmates on death row. They will never be re-admitted to society; they will live the rest of their lives in jail. Within a prison, however, people can be productive members of society. Under special circumstances prisoners can hold some jobs, and help run parts of the prison, such as the kitchen. Death row inmates will never be productive members of society.

Nearly 400 members of the NU Club of Chicago attended a private showing of the exhibit, which was preceded by a reception at the Chicago Athletic Association. Art History Department chair Hollis Clayson joined the group at the October event to provide additional insight. The club is also in the process of creating need-based Northwestern scholarships for incoming students who lost parents in the New York attack. Toward that end, the club joined the Medill Club of Greater New York and NUEA/East in December in staging a review, "Give Our Regards to Broadway — The Songs of New York," at the Promenade Theatre. Among the headliners were Patricia Neal (S47, H94), Tony Roberts (S61) and Kate Shindle (S99).

Extractions: Published in the Los Angeles Times, Apr. 17 2000 Leah Wells has spent two years learning about nonviolence at the Center for Teaching Peace in Washington, DC, and now is sharing that knowledge with her Ventura students. Wells, a teacher at St. Bonaventure High School, also will teach a nonviolence class for the wider community beginning next week at the Ventura County Church of Religious Science in Ventura. This interactive class will teach conflict management, and the history and scope of the nonviolence movement, Wells said. Before joining the St. Bonaventure faculty this year, Wells explored the roots of the nonviolence movement. At the time, she served as a student teacher in the high school that is closest to the White House and was volunteering at a juvenile facility in Maryland. "I'm very passionate about this subject because I feel the ideas put forward by peace advocates like Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Dorothy Day and Albert Schweitzer are important to bring about social change and nonviolence," Wells said. School violence is down, but reactivity is up, Wells said. Words and action have power. Nonviolent action is not passive.

According to eXile sources in the White House, Bush next Wednesday will sign Executive Order 775-3AB, On More Painful Methods of Capital Punishment, which will dictate that the use of a local animal species to execute a condemned prisoner shall be considered just and appropriate, and, accordingly, neither cruel nor unusual. The order is expected to cite the 6th amendment as a legal basis for the new statute, interpreting a jury of ones peers to include local flora, fauna, and ecological phenomena. Bush has reportedly appointed Attorney General John Ashcroft to form a States Executions Commission that will arbitrate any disputes that may arise between states that seek to use the same animal. The goal of the administration is to make one great patchwork quilt of American justice, in which no two penal panels will be the same, the source said. There will be 51 animals for the 50 states and our nations capitol.
