The event takes place at 5:30 p.m. in the Arthur Andersen Auditorium.

The finalists teams are: Aleksey Strygin, Mark Khavkin, Jane Knop, and Inna Garilova Nancy Lan, Melissa Wong, and Darien Shanske David Chan, Amyn Saleh, Christine Cho, and Lisa Mou Vincent Chiu, Martin Lanner, Albert Lai, and Ryan Mickle Christian Milan, Shirley Gou, Kitty Cheung, and Ruby Shih The competition and the reception that follows offer an opportunity to meet representatives from Cisco Systems and Deloitte Consulting.

THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL MUSIC The Management of Technology Program is joining Boalt Hall for a roundtable discussion on "Digital Music and Copyright Issues" on Wednesday, April 18, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Arthur Andersen Auditorium. "This year's Digital Music Conference is taking place in a different landscape for both Napster and peer services than last year's conference," says Drew Isaacs, executive director of MOT. "Although the 'shutting down' of Napster has had limited effect on the swapping of free music files on the Internet, it has brought to universal awareness the complex business and legal environment for digital music publishing and distribution.? This is the core issue to be examined at this year's event." The event is free and open to the UC Berkeley community. The panel includes Robin Gross, Electronic Frontier Foundation; Gerd Leonhard, Licensemusic.com; Milt Olin, Napster; Barry Simmons, Simons and Stern; John Simson, Recording Industry Association of America; Carol Smith, Listen.com; and Peter Menell, executive director of the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology, as the moderator. NINTH ANNUAL YOUTH VENTURE CAPITAL COMPETITION AT HAAS The Haas School's extremely successful youth outreach program, Young Entrepreneurs at Haas (YEAH), is holding its ninth annual Venture Capital Competition on Saturday, April 28, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Wells Fargo Room. This competition brings students from local middle and high schools to Haas to present their business plans to a volunteer "venture capital" board. YEAH allocates over $10,000 to top performers for business startup or educational costs through this competition. The competition offers participating youth a chance to demonstrate their new skills, pitch their business ideas to a panel, and compete for grants of up to $500 for business startup or college costs. YEAH is an academic preparation program for educationally disadvantaged middle and high school students who express an interest in business. With the support of 40 MBA volunteer mentor/business coaches, YEAH teaches teens how to develop their business ideas, draft business plans, and turn their ideas into entrepreneurial opportunities. The program also introduces youth to the stock market, the global economy, and teaches them how to improve test taking and study skills that are critical to admission to the UC system. Due to increased public and private funding, the YEAH Program has tripled in size to reach more than 170 youth from middle schools and high schools in the Oakland, Berkeley, Emery, and West Contra Costa Unified School Districts this year. For more information on YEAH, visit www.haas.berkeley.edu/yeah. The organizers are still looking for a few more volunteer panelists. Please contact Ajuah Helton at 510-643-0923 for more information.
