E-shoppers  beware: 

Tech  bullies  keep  fraud  detectors  on  high  alert 


ByZach  Hunsinger 


As  the  Internet  continues  to  grow 
into  an  ever-present  and  vital  part 
of  our  lives,  it  is  also  impacting  the 
business  industry. 

E-commerce.  or  electronic  com- 
merce, has  steadily  grown  over  the 
last  five  years.  Consumers  arc  find- 
ing the  ease  ot  use  an  appealing  trait 
Some  businesses  would  not  have  sur-

Despite  the  growth  of  c -commerce, 
some  skeptics  express  concern  about 
giving  money  to  an  "invisible  store" 
and  having  to  hope  that  the  product 
arrives.  Some  fears  are  adequately 
grounded  and  legitimate.

Communism  revisited: 

One  assistant  professor  delves 
into  theory,  history  of  regime 


By  Louisa  Danielson 


IPFW  Assistant  Professor  James 
Toole  discussed  the  importance  of 
political  parties  in  post-communist 
Europe. 

His  speech  was  a  part  of  the  Rich- 
ard Lugar  Faculty  Scholars  Program. 
which  works  in  conjunction  with  the 
Richard  G.  LugarStudeni  Scholar  for 
International  Affairs. 

This  program  selects  an  IPFW  stu- 
dent to  work  with  Senator  Lugar  in 
his  Indiana  and  Washington  D.C.  of- 
fices for  the  fall  semester.  The  student 
then  works  as  a  research  assistant  for 
the  Lugar  Faculty  Scholar  during  the 

Toole  became  interested  in  Eastern 
European  politics  when  he  spent  two 
weeks  in  the  region  shortly  before 
the  communist  regime  cracked.  Fol- 
lowing the  fall  of  the  Berlin  Wall  in 
1989,  former  satellite  nations  of  the 
communist  regime  began  building 
democracies;  watching  the  progress 
of  these  nations  has  been  "Fascinat- 
ing," said  Toole. 

Three  nations  that  Toole  focused  on 
were  Poland,  Hungary  and  the  Czech 
Republic.  These  countries  have  the 
"bare  essentials"  ol  political  panics, 
meaning  thai  they  get  candidate- 
Political  parties  also  provide  clear 
differences  between  parties  so  that 
voters  can  easily  understand  plat- 
forms without  getting  into  deep  ide- 
ology. 

T  his  facilitates  elections  and  allows 


more  cili/.ens  to  participate  in  gov- 
ernment, since  they  can  easily  choose 
candidates  based  on  party  idcntilica- 

However,  political  parties  in  East- 
em  Europe  have  had  their  drawbacks. 
Lack  of  participation  and  little  con- 
trol over  government  policy  forma- 
i  have   rendered   po)jiii_al   parlies 


i-etleU 


In  regard  to  participation,  look- 
said  that  even  though  parties  have 
made  it  easier  for  voters  to  tell  the 
difference  between  platforms,  it  has 
been  a  case  of  "too  much  conflict ... 
too  Mule  consensus." 


mg. 

But  perhaps  the  most  important 
difficulty  political  parties  have  run 
into  is  their  lack  of  control  over  pub- 
lie  policy.  These  countries  are  new  to 
democratic  rule-  it  takes  lime  to  feel 
out  the  parameters  and  understand 
how  a  democracy  works. 

But  more  importantly,  lack  of  in- 
dividual country  policy  may  be  at- 
tributed to  the  European  Union.  Not 
that  Toole  hales  the  European  Union 
-"(It's)  a  remarkable  organization." 
he  said.  But  the  EU  has  certain  legal 
conformity  requirements  that  must 
he  met  before  a  nation  can  enter  the 

For  that  reason.  Hungary.  Poland 
and  the  Czech  Republic  have  fo- 
cused on  meeting  EU   requirements 

instead  of  catering  io  i  heir  individual 
country's  needs.  Eastern  European 
countries  have  sacrificed  personal 
representation  for 
provement.

are     asking. 

Why  wasn't  this  individual  slopped.' 
What  did  we  miss?  What  did  we  ig- 

Today  there  is  a  large  concern 
about  offending  someone.  Each  day 
we  make  sure  our  words  are  politi- 
cally correct  in  order  to  not  sound 
racist,  sexist  or  judgmental  in  any- 
way. Even  if  we  are  none  of  the  pre- 
viously mentioned  things,  a  slip  of 
the  tongue  can  sometimes  result  in 
damaging  consequences.  While  I  am 
all  for  equal  treatment  to  all  people 
no  matter  gender  ace,  race,  religion 
or  sexual  orientation,  this  fear  of  say- 
ing the  wrong  things  lias  maybe  gone 
too  far.    Are  we  too  polite  for  our 

As  sad  as  it  is  to  say,  many 
ol  the  heinous  t  rimes  that  have  been 
committed  in  recent  history  arc  root- 
ed in  the  playground.  Many  indi- 
viduals who  turn  on  their  classmates 
and  hurt  them  are  people  who  were 
hurt  on  the  swing  sets  and  no  one 
said  anything  about  it.  Why  did  no 
one  say  anything?  What  some  people 
may  not  realize  is  these  children  need 
help,  as  do  their  bullies.  The  expres- 
sion -children  can  be  cruel"  is  rooted 
in  truth,  but  what  we  don't  say  is 


"people  can  be  cruel." 

1  am  by  no  means  saying  thai 
the  actions  of  the  shooter  al  Virginia 
Tech  are  excusable  no  matter  wlial 
happened  in  his  pasi.  but  I  am  say- 
ing there  is  a  possibility  that  it  could 
have  been  prevented. 

People  are  so  afraid  to  talk 
about  [lungs  that  may  not  be  pleas- 
ant, and  although  hurting  someone 
shouldn't  be  a  goal,  it  might  be  nee 
essary.  If  someone  is  physically  sick 
ami  people  can  see  it.  they  either  help, 
or  they  avoid  that  person  to  prevent 
getting  sick  themselves.  What  about 
that  are  internally  sick?  Do 
that?  Do  we  even  know  what 
to  look  for? 

Yes,  every  person  in  this  world 
will  go  through  something  that  may 
make  them  unpleasant  to  be  around, 
but  when  behavior  is  very  abnormal. 
something  should  change.  It  is  better 
to  say  something  and  n  he  nothing, 
than  to  say  nothing  and  have  that 
change  everything. 


Drivers  beware  of  drivers 

■  What  are  people  doing  behind  the  wheel? 


By  Nicki  Daly 


I  do  a  lot  of  driving,  which  also 
means  that  1  gel  the  privilege  ol 
viewing  othci  people  who  are  driving 
often.  1  don't  understand  why  people 
drive  the  way  that  they  do. 

I  am  22-ycars-old  and  have  yet  to 
be  in  an  accident.  Sure.  I  may  have- 
backed  into  a  closed  garage  door 
And  okay,  maybe  I  hit  my  friend's 
car  once.  But  I  have  never  been  in 
an  accident  where  ears  were  mov- 
ing or  where  any  cars  were  actually 
damaged  more  than  a  slight  dent.  If 
people  would  pay  more  attention  to 
driving  and  less  attention  to  whatever 
else  they're  doing,  it  would  make 
driving  so  much  easier. 

I  can't  stand  it  when  people 
throw  things  out  of  their  windows,

Even  if  you  are  on  the  toll  road,  you

Therefore,  I  propose  that  every  driver

nothing  you'd  have  to  study  for  (if

Campus  Question  of  the  Week 


What  are  you  doing  after  finals? 


Woman  of  yesterday 
versus  women  of  today 


:onsidcr   my  sell    fully    inde- 


and  1 


if  dn  Lmiidn"  and  "Who  «ill  be  re- 
sponsible lor  car  maintenance'"  My 
answer,  to  these  questions  were  pret- 
ty stereotypical  - 1  am  not  going  near 
the  cars  and  T  will  take  care  of  the 
household  duties  and  cooking.  But 
I  know  that  there  are  people  who  do 
not  take  this  point  ot  view.  Take  my 


I  enjoy  knowing  that  1  have  a  man 
Ihere  w  help  me  with  things  I  lind 
more  difficult,  like  ear  maintenance. 
This  whole  topic  strolled  into  my 
consciousness  recently  due  to  the 
culmination  ol  a  lew  events.  Firstly, 
several  of  my  best  girlfriends  have 
ended  long  term  semi-long  term  re- 
lationships These  women  have 
shown  so  much  strength  that  I  am 
in  awe  of  them  Watching  them  go 
through  this,  while  I  sit  back  in  my 
comfortable  and  secure  relationship 
has  done  both  of  two  things— make 


roar!"  and  silently  thank  God  for  my 
blessings.  And  then  the  other  event 
that  caused  me  to  contemplate  my 
view  of  my  own  feminism  is  some 
questions  !  had  to  answer  recently  in 
a  marriage  preparation  book.  Some 
of  those  questions  were  "Who  is  go- 
ing to  cook  supper?"  "Who  is  going 


will  not  ye!  the  women  kilchcn  sup- 
plies or  other  household  objects  that 
imply  that  the  woman  will  be  doing 
the  work  as  gifts.    Also,  she  will  get 

thing-  like  mon-tcr  tnitki  or  bulldoz- 
ers I  am  no!  i.oing  Hut  it  is  wrong 
to  do  this,  but  what  is  wrong  with 
gelling  us  what  we  want.  1  really 
truly  want  silicon  baking  supplies. 
But  then  again,  if  I  were  to  have  a 
little  girl  I  don't  want  her  to  feel  sell 
conscious  about  playing  with  "boy" 
toys.  So  I  guess  my  whole  point  is. 
stay  true  to  yourself  and  don't  worry 
.iboni  luting  into  the  stereotype  or 
don't  overwhelm  \oiir-,el!  with  -hal- 
tering it,  do  what  feels  conilortaMc. 
I  think  my  future  mother-in-law  has 
done  a  good  job  as  a  role  model  of 
lining  a  good  medium. 


Parents  today  lack  proper 
care  and  responsibility 


Recently  upon  arriving 
home  after  a  long,  tedious 
school  and  work.  I  pulled  into  a  park- 
ing space  at  my  apartment  complex, 
only  to  lind  skateboards,  popped  bal- 
loons and  basketballs  strewn  every- 
where. And  I  mean  everywhere. 

In  the  parking  lot. 

In  the  bushes  outside  my  apart- 

I  don't  mind  toys,  as  I  had  many  in 
ni\  childhood,  but  these  are  the  same- 
children  who  constantly  run  all  over 
the  complex  unattended,  screaming 
like  ban-heeson  a  prison  break,  leav- 
ing anger  and  messes  in  their  wake. 
And  I  think,  kids  will  be  kids.  But. 
as  my  blood  rises.  I  wonder: 

Where  the  heck  are  the  parents? 

My  personal  lhcor\  i-  llul  people 
who  are  potential  parents  should  be 
required  to  take  an  IQ  test  before 
conception  because,  in  my  humble 
opinion,  a  lot  of  parents  are  idiots.  I 
won't  gloss  over  it,  and  I  wish  1  could 
li\  the  problem  by  pulling  birth  con- 
trol in  the  water  supply. 


Yeah,  I  sound  like  a  birth  control 
Nazi,  and  obvious K  these  apparently 
parentk'ss  runabouts  are  (he  excep- 
tion to  the  rule,  but  (hat  dynamic  is 
changing  last,  and  I  can't  help  but 
wonder  what  is  going  wrong  with 
parents  today? 

Everyone  is  either  too  busy  with 


and  sup- 
port   a    new    generation    of   young 

If  you  have  children,  and  refuse 
io  discipline  them,  shaping  them 
to  become  like  the  characters  from 
"Lord  of  (he  Hies",  try  not  to  get  up- 

dards,   discipline   your  children   for 


"...I  say  that  being  a  mom  or 

dad  is  the  most  honorable 

profession  anyone  could  ever 

have..." 


parental  duties,  or  tl 
working  Three  jobs  to  support  them 
selves   and   (heir   families,   so   they 
can't  offer  much  personal  time. 

Why? 

What  has  gone  so  wrong  in  our 
countr\  thai  we  let  our  children  be- 
come mongrels  who  run  the  streets 
completely  unattended  and  without 
discipline.  I'm  not  saying  that  chil- 
dren need  to  be  spanked  or  no(,  be- 
cause thai  is  an  entirely  separate  is-aie. 
but  there  is  something  thai  needs  io 
happen  when  we  decide  to  procreate

h_m'  ability  to  be  a  parent,  1  say  (ha(  being

profession  anyone  could  ever  have, 
and  to  besmirch  the  institution  by  let- 
ling  your  children  grow  up  ignorant 
and  without  manners  is  a  waste. 

It  is  the  waste  of  the  development 
and  respect  of  brilliant  young  minds 
with  an  excess  of  potential  to  be  too 
afraid  of  your  child's  temper  to  raise 
them  correctly.  Mothers  and  fathers

Iggy  Pop  still  a  punk  at  60 


By  Aaron  Thomas 

So  you're  dO-years-old,  you've  made  your 
mark,  you've  passed  ihc  proverbial  torch  In  a 
new  generation  of  kids  who  should  be  taking 
your  specially  In  ;i  new  level  and  you're  making 
your  peak  years  look  like  child's  play 

So  what  do  you  do  then'.'  If  you  go  the 
route  of  one  Jim  Osterberg.  belter  known  to 
the  masses  as  Iggy  Pup,  you  simply  don' 


by.in>< 


Theatre,  there  were  3.500  people  experiencln, 
one  long  explosion  of  rock'n'roll  fury  by  a  liv 
ing  legend,  virtually  unmatched  by  anyone  be 


-Muni  Mil'  legs  Pop  Ian.  arc  dedn.atcd-,1  levs 
decorated  version  of  the  Kiss  Army.  The  fans 
(ranging  in  age  from  14-60J  wailed  eagerly, 
trying  to  pa.ss  the  time.  Some  chatted  amongst 
(heir  friends  or  people  they  met  that  nigh!,  and 
some  drank  and  drank  some  more.  One  fan,  not 
10  feet  from  the  front  had  no  intention  of  mov- 
ing, despite  how  much  he  had  drank.  So  he  re- 
lieved himself  on  the  Moor  and  onto  the  legs  of 
a  few  within  his  vicinity.  No  one  got  angry,  they 
all  understood  when  he  said.  "I  just  didn't  want 
to  lose  my  spot." 

Suddenly,  like  someone  had  shot  them 
out  of  a  cannon,  Mike  Watt,  Ron  Ashcton  and 
Scott  Ashcton  all  dashed  on  stage  to  their  in- 
struments and  immediately  blasted  into  the 
oh  so-lamiliar  notes  of  "Loose"  from  the  Fun 
House  record.  Right  on  cue,  Iggy  Pop  ran  on 
stage  and  snatched  the  microphone  tor  dear  life 
to  screams,  cheers  and  deafening  applause.  He 
had  been  on  stage  lor  seven  seconds,  and  he  al- 
ready had  the  audience  eaiing  out  of  lus  hand. 
He  bounced  uncontrollably  from  one  end  of  the 
stage  to  other  and  did  ->  multiple  tunes  before 
even  breaking  a  sweat. 

The  band  was  planted  downstage,  leaving 
about  70  percent  ol  the  stage  open  lor  Iggy 
to  move  around  freely,  which  he  did.  !l  Igg\ 
stayed  in  one  place  for  more  than  20  seconds, 
it  would  be  because  lie  was  dead.  Even  though 
center  stage  was  open,  lie  rarely  went  back  that 
far.  His  place  was  with  the  audience.  The  ma- 
jority ol  his  tunc  was  spent  along  the  edge  of 
the  stage  where  the  lans  readied  out  to  (ouch  or 
siniplv  lock  out  with  the  godfather  of  punk  rock, 
while  he  sang  right  into  llieir  laces  and  sprayed 
spit  all  over  them  When  he  wasn't  singing,  lie 
would  find  other  things  to  keep  him  busy,  such 
as  crowd-surfing  (much  to  the  chagrin  of  secu- 
rity, who  would  drag  hi  in  hack  I.  pouring  water 
all  over  himself  or  hopping  sis  feel  into  the  air 
onto  the  amps  and  humping  them. 

Halfway  through  the  set.  they  jumped  into 


album  classic  ,l1969."  Iggy.  much  to 
of  the  security  workers,  invited 
everyone  on  stage  to  rock  out  with  him.  About 
50  super-charged  teenagers  plowed  through  the 
bouncers  and  rushed  the  sluge  to  sing,  danec 
and  rock  out  with  the  Iguana 
Man,  With  much  concentrated 
effort,  the  staff  cleared  the 
stage  when  the  song  was  over, 
even  though  every  man,  wom- 
an und  child  on  stage  was  try- 
ing to  hug  and  kiss  Iggy  before 
they  were  removed  from  arm's

In  the  opener,  the  Mastodons  spotted  the 
Lancers  a  I  -0  lead  in  the  first,  but  that  was  quick- 
ly erased  by  a  lead-off  home  run  by  freshman 
second  baseman  Mark  Garden  It  was  Garden's 
first  round-tnppcr  of  the  year. 

Grace  took  a  2- 1  lead  in  the  fourth  on  an  RBI 
single  from  third  baseman  Chay  Bailey. 

IPFW  would  break  it  open  in  the  5th  inning 
i  blast  from  junior  center  fielder 
Jaivd  Davis      li  was  Daws'  third  bomb  of  the 


Reliever  Man  Ransboiiom  came  on  in  the 
fourth  and  pitched  three  innings  of  no-hit  ball  for 
hi-  second  win  of  the  season. 

Grace  starter  Greg  Priodc  took  the  loss. 

In  game  two,  it  was  all  freshman  first  base- 
man Shaun  VanDriessche. 

In  the  second  inning  VanDriessche  went  yard 
for  his  second  homer  of  the  season,  a  solo  shot, 
giving  the  'Dons  a  1-0  lead. 

Grace  lied  it  in  the  3rd  inning  on  an  RBI  bunt  I 
single  by  center  fielder  Hans  Gricpenlrog. 

That  set  the  stage  for  more  VanDriessche  he- 
roics in  the  bottom  of  the  frame.  With  the  bases 
loaded,  VanDriessche  blasted  a  450  fool  homer 
to  center  field.   1  lie  grand  slam  made  it  6-1.

There  aren't  enough  thanks  for  the  hardest- 
working  and  most  dedicated  group  of  people

our  coaches  and  staff.  They  went  far  beyond 
the  e  spec  ted,  performing  incredible  tasks  under 
very  difficult  circumstances.  Finally,  I  want  to 
lliank  the  reason  I'm  here  our  student-athletes. 
Their  daily  examples  of  dedication,  hard  work.
