Letters to the Editor Students did not have any hidden agenda To the Editor:

We are writing in response to last week’s Dailv editorial (“Now the students must speak.” Dec. 2). As the five students who spoke in fwor of coedification of the Greek system at the faculty meeting on Nov. 23. we feel that the editor’s opinions about our so called ”hidden agenda” are not only unfounded but blatantly disre- gard our entire presentation. We repeat- edly said that we did not want to see the Greek system dissolved and that we were firmly opposed to its abolition. Anyone who was at the meeting (and many Daifv editors were) knows that.

We do not take issue with the fact that the Daily is in favor of a traditional Greek system in its editorials. but misrepresent- ing our statements is unnecessary. unfair. and unethical. We have repeatedly said that we are in favor of coedification. and that coedification has worked on many other campuses across the country. The idea that the implementation of coedification would mean. the end of the system is completely unfounded and un- derestimates the durability of the mem- bers of the Greek system. By perpetuating this myth. tlhe Daily is impeding an open and truthful debate.

Incidents should have been dealt with sooner To the Editor:

We are extremely concerned that the student body has been kept unaware of recent racial, cultural, and religious inci- dents. We halve ambiguously learned about anti-Semitic symbols and slogans that have appeared in residence halls. Even more disturbing is the delay in reporting offen- sive inciderits. Two several-week-old in-

cidents havenotbeenofficially publicized or recorded.

In Hill Hall on both Nov. 15 and Nov. 22, anti-Semitic symbols appeared in the lobby, in addition to the lobby itself being vandalized. Our major concern regarding these acts is why there was no public report. especially when there may have beenaconnec tion between the anti-Semitic incident at Haskell Hall and the aforemen- tionedevent. We are also questioning if the Administration has begun an investiga- tion into this incident. If not. why not: and if so. why have the results not been publi- cized?

As studknts of the Tufts community we believe that the Administration is obli- gated to make us aware of such violent episodes, especially when student safety is at hand. If the Haskell event had been publicized earlier. dorms may have’kken precautionary actions in order to prevent any subsequent acts. We question the Ad- ministration as to whether they feel.that the Jewish students are too “large” a mi- nority on this campus to warrant protec- tion from such actions. We would hope in the future that any racial, cultural. or reli- gious incidents would be made public immediately.

Understanding leads to racial tolerance To the Editor:

I was quite disturbed in reading Julia Koo’s recent letter (“Interracial love does not eliminate racism,”Daily, Dec. 3) criti- cizing Professor Donald Klein’s “tokenizational” use of his Japanese wife to show he is not racist. She states that ‘*all

of us. in some way. harbor feelings of sexism. racism, and homophobia.. .fostered by our culture and there is no way to escape them.” .

That people often have a natural aver- sion to anything or anyone different is a fact of life that saddens me as much as it does Ms. Koo. However. I believe that the true measure of someone’s intolerance. be it racism. sexism. homophobia or what- ever. is how one attempts to deal with these feelings. The recent tragic events in Ger- many graphically illustrate what happens when these feelings are enforced with hate and violence. . . . I

Though Professor Klein‘s marriage to a Japanese woman does not ‘’prove” he is not racist or prejudiced. it suggests that at the very least he is open-minded and will- ing to be in close contact with a different culture. To see that he has devoted his life to the study and teaching of East Asian cultures is even more heartening. What better way is there to combat any kind of intolerance than through understanding and the commitment to pass that under- standing on?

PB& J event a success To the Editor:

As president of Zeta Beta Tau. I am writing to thank all of the students and faculty who participated in our annual “Peanut Butter and Jelly making for the Homeless” event last Monday and Tues- day. With your help. over 200 sandwiches were given to the Albany Street shelter in Somerville. This is the second year that we’ve tried this event. and the response on campus has beenoutstanding. It only takes a few minutes to make a sandwich on your way through the Campus Center, but the service it gives to the community is great. We hope that all of you who had some fun. and made a sandwich this year, will come back, and bring a friend to the third annual “PB&J for the Home1ess”next fall. Thank you. again, for making this event a suc- cess.

Z am a GAMMA boy Don7 look now. but it seems the old residents of Professor’s Row

have borrowed ilpilge from the Republican Party‘s play book. No no no, not the [~itge where they sell mns to all the dictators on our nice little planet and then use the profits to buy box setsof FranrlSirratra’s I;reumt liits. I’m tidking about the ofher tradition the GOP’s got going - telling a lie over iuld over again until everyone believes it.

Some of you may be wonder- ing which lie I’m talking about here - there do seem to be more than a few - but in this particular case I‘m talking about this idea

that the Greek system will just fall apart if we make it coed. This is like saying that if you take away one of those columns in front 01 Bitllou Hitll, the entire building will collapse. True, it would look a little different. but just because you take away a white cylinder (01 Ballou, Ihitt is) doesn’t mean the whole thing’s going to fall down.

Many of our fine frittcnlized friends keep saying that if we force them to be coed. they will lose their national charters. Golly Beav. whit would we do then? There’s no way we‘d survive withoul niltiond chitptcrs! Why. besides Bowdoin, Middlebury. Wesleyan. and ;I couple domi other schools in our country. nobody’s been able to do that! Seeins silly. doesn’t it? Well it is.

Fraternities clitiln, in loud and dignified voices, that they would lose their insurilllce and thcir national networks if they were forced out o f the national fraternity system because they went coed. Thk inciuis, of course. that they wouldn’t be able to serve beer by the titnkcr truck. Sororities don’t seem to have this problem, since theij niItionid charters forbid them from serving beer at their parties in their houses. which seems fair to me, they are women, after all (Mimnm ... smell that sarcasm!)

Of course. the fraternities could get their own insurance, eithet house by house or as ‘an orgiulizathl of frats (kind of like anational organization. except without the suite of offices in New York). Ir fitct. loads of schools huw this kind of system. with fraternities thal have no national charters but still tniuiagc to get the entire campus totally blitxd every we‘ckend. That is. everyone over the legal age They card you know. Carefully. Iiuverr ’t voir eser heardof GAMMA .;

The other point that our local Greeks keep bringing up is thai losing their nittional system would mean losing connections. Every. body knows that in the business world. it’s not what you know, bu who you know. and how well you play squash. It seems, however IhiIt our boys hilvc tnlren this quote a little too ~eriou~ly.

While they spend their time taking care of the “who-you-know’ piut of the deal. they C,W easily fudge the “what-you-know“ part bl wily of their test files, built up by brotherly love and passed dowr over the years.

If you‘ve ever wondered why you see so inany white men at tht top of those.corporate ladders, just check out the Greek rhgs or Inimy of thcir fingers. Greeks. of course, aren’t the only reason tha women ind minorities rarely make it to the boardrooms ofknerica hut they do makc it dam good example. Greeks. of course. will tro out the Sororities in this case. claiming that they help makc connections for women. This may be true, but when, even today there are only two women Fortune SO0 Chief Executives, womei making business connections with only women doesn’t seem likt such a hot idcit. Except for men. that is.

While we can’t blanc the Greek system for trying to keep thei Iriditionill boundaries (hell. I‘d fight like a cat if someone tried tc cocdify me) we can see that by opening up fraternities and sororitiei lo everybody we’d all have more opportunities to get drunk and g( to hoiud meetings.

‘IEWPOINTS The legitimacy of the Greek vote

by George E. Smith

The recent ficulty vote 011 the .Greek system has ptovokctl ;I

number o f criticill responses in the Duil.vover the lust two weeks. from both S I U ~ C I I I S itnd filculty. AS one ofthe 64 faculty who voted in filvor of the motion brought by the Ad Hoc Committee. much of this published criticism seeins to inc to have inisscd the point. At Icil.\t it hits inisscd thc point SO filr its my O W I ~ V O ~ C Wits conccnictl. Therefore. though SIIciLkiiig only for myself. 1 feel obligittcd to respond to some o f the criticisins Ihal have been put forwaud:

Criticism: The report of the Ad Hoc Comrnittcc wits too hi- Wed ~ 1 d too lilckitig in proper regild for evidential stiuldilds IO

issue - ;it leas1 the issue I was votingon-is whether the cxclu- sloIi;lry IciItUrc of the Grcck sys- ten1 at Tufts discriminates against

studcllts 011 thc Sociid mi1rgiti in a m;uincr that many of them find painful. I f it does. then the Uni- versity should be doing nothing to condone it. much less to support it.

Criticism: The future of the Greek system on crunpus is some- thing for the students. not the filculty. to decide, imd majority ofthe students support the present system.

Rep/.y: I certainly would prefer for students to t‘akc the initiative i n redressing ilny discriminatory aspects of the Greek system at Tufts. But I have seen no indica- tion in the six months since the Ad Hoc Committee‘s report was first rclciised thalt studcllts arc about to do so.

If the Greek system does discriminate

against students on the social margin at I’ufts, then the harm done by

this discrimination is all the greater the more

central the system is to the social life.

Mimy, if not all. of the mem- k r s of the Warren Court would surely have preferred for the StiItCS that were maintaining raciillly scgrcgitted schools to hime taken the initiiltivc in redressing the discritninatory effects ofthat prac- tice. But if the matter had been put to a vote atnong the citizens of those states. the outcome would surely have been strong support to maintain segregation. Some issues are not to be settled by a majority vote among those af- fected.

Once the question of Greek life ilt Tufts Wac; duly put to me in m y role as afiiculty member, I felt obligated to face the issue and

Criticism: The faculty had options that were far less drastic than the one the majority ended up voting for. and this shows that those so voting were really com- mitted to destroying the Greek system froin the outset.

Reply: All the itlternativcs UP for vote at the fitculty meeting,

fessor DeVoto, would have main- taihied the status quo. at least for the time being. I couldnot in good conscience vote to maintain the status q u o in the face of unimpeached yririru facie evi- dence that it is discriminatory.

Criticism: The faculty showed no itpprcciatbi for the degree to which the Greek system is central to student social life at Tufts, and this shows that the faculty simply do not undcrstiid what student life at Tufts is like.

R ~ p l v : Indiscussing the Greek system with students in the weeks before the faculty vote, nothing made a greater impression on me than thecomment. made time and again, that the fraternities are the central element in Tufts’ social life. If the Greek system were on the fringe of Tufts’ social life, then I would have found it far easier not to vote to change the system. But. if the Greek system does discriminate agaimt students on the social margin at Tufts. then the hiwn done by thisdiscrimina- tion is all the greater the more central the system is to the social life.

Criticism: Eliminating the exclusionary aspects of the Greek

in particular, system - “coedifying” all of the frarcmi- ties and sororities - will destroy the system.

Reply: I see no reason why a non-exclusionary Greek system cannot survive at Tufts. But if it cannot, then this gives all the more reason to accept the Ad Hoc Committee’s report. For, this would be evidence that the exclu- sionary aspects of our Greek sys- tem are essential to it. and conse- quenllyremedies for any discrimi- natory effects these aspects are having will be all the harder to find, short of measures that those in the system will call drastic.

I continue to feel uncomfort- able about having had to vote on an issue that has so little direct effect on me. and so much on students - indeed, uncomfofl- able enough to write this letter. I remain open to being persuaded that the Greek system at Tufts is not discriminatory. But the sug- gestion that the 64 of us lacked grounds for our vote seems to me - -

including the one offered by Pro- far wide of the mark.

To the TuRs Community: Last week, Pen, Paint and Pretzel, a student drama group, produced the play “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All To You” by

Christopher Durang, as part of their winter festival. The TuRs Administrators Group on Diversity would like to comment on this event and its possible impact on the Tufts Community.

The author, Durang, is a satirist andl was raised in the Catholic religion. In this play, he uses very heavy satire to reflect on the teachings and institution of the Catholic Church. Other topics that he has satirized are great literature, psychiatry and serious drama. .

We respect and support 3 P’s artistic freedom to select and produce any play. However, satire carries with it the likelihood of provoking strong reactions and controversy within the community. One ofthe ways satire works is to take stereotypes to absurd lengths. Reiterating stereotypes, even in a farcical manner, may work to silence those people whose beliefs are being satirized because it can make them feel as if they are being judged negatively by their peers.

With freedom comes responsibility arid accountability. In the context of the Tufts Community, artistic responsibility in presenting this satire might have included some attlempts to give voice to those people most likely to have felt silenced by the play. For example, 3 P’s might have held an open discussion after one of the performances at which time, audience members, Catholic in particular, would have beeninvitedto speak about their feelings. Alternatively, 3 P’s could have written aviewpoints articlein The TuftsDuiZy explaining why they staged this play and what they wantedin terms of results from the$production. Not providing a context for discussion invites misunderstanding and perceptions of being ridiculed.

One of the goals of the Administrators; Group on Diversity is to promote discussion about issues and differences of opinion that arise in a community as diverse as ours. We are available as facilitators and advisors to student groups that wish to pursue these discussions. The co-chairs of the group are Peggy Barrett of Women’s Programs, Sharon Cohen of Hillel, and Howard Woolfof the Experimental College. Please contact us with questions or concerns that we can bring to the group.

Michael B. Berg negative criticism, its being wa: coilsidered arelatively good thing

StESSed Desserts Then people became part of tht Universe. Once again, there wen

soine slightly negative reactions, but this time it was mostly by othei p~oplc. arid in general as people hcgiui doing most of the thinking and reacting it was inevitable that they should develop a certain bin: that people were also il good idea.

Theti people began to disturb the Universe. Having establishec theinselves as an intricate working part of the Universe, people noN found thcmsclves to be part of the gear work. It seemed that eacf action contained a reaction. and as people followed intrinsic drive5 to create, to alter their worlds, to express themselves in any way thai seemed appropriate. they were sunultarieously affecting those around them.

Thisgcar-likeeffect, in whicheventhemost minuscu1eofaction.c altered the entire Universe in some subtle way earned mixed reviews. It seemed that even a wave of the hand moved molecules that moved other molecules, and pretty soon it became even more complex, as more significant actions had even more noticeable effects. Although it was considered “pretty neat,” it was also quite scary. and people began to panic. To further complicate things. people began to ask for the meaning of it all, the Universe, the whole shebang. They asked “why‘?” and weren‘t going to be satisfied with a“why not?” People kept asking questions and further disturbing the Universe.Thiscontinued forafew thousand years,giveor takeafew minutcs. and suddenly. while no one was really paying attention. because they were concentrating on whal was for lunch, the pas1 caught up to the present.

People arc reading this column. They’re thinking. They’re reflecting. They’re wondering, “what is for lunch?“ They might even be wondering if thcy wave their hands. if they’re moving inoleculcs somewhere else in the room, in the building. in the cornfields of Indiana. at the edge of the Universe.

They might be wondering if their actions find their way back. I1 each action is causing infinite other actions in an unstoppable whirlwind, isn‘t every action inevitably due to fall back upon itself in avast kauinic convoluted pattern? If so, do people feel the positive and negative effects they have on the world? Is this so simply because the actions they are putting into the world create a greatei chance that these actions should find their way back to them? They might be examining their actions and t‘aking responsibility so tha1 their disturbances will prove to be generally good things. They might be looking toward the future.

People will be forced in one of two directions. They will make a choice. whether they realize it or not, whether they care to or not. They might choose to ignore thcconseyuencesoftheiractions.They will live a s they choose. not worrying if they’re having a general negative effect on the Universe. And they will later wonder why thingsncvcr seein to go their way.

he ;iskcd the two aides to find' other-jobs because of their hoino- sexuality. But he said he had no choice hecause the Pcntagon and the Central Intclligciicc Agency would not deal with classified tnaittcrs with known homosexu- als.

He said he has opcnly homo- sexuill people working for hitn i n jobs that do not require security cle:u,ulccs.

"A inan who has bccn this oulspokcti in opposition to IC- gally integrating gay people into the military should not be a can- didate for secretary of defense," said Tanya Domi, a member of the task force.

a fabulous babe by now. serving as a good-will diplomat between Grinches ‘and Whos the world over.

Also worthy of note is the brand spankin‘ new (as of last year) A Wish for Wings That Worked. starring Blooni Cmrrty‘s Bill and Opus. This spe- cial achieves the impossible task of animating the unlikely pair and giving them voices, and meeting every one of our expectations. Elvis even makes a cameo. Opus attends a support group for flightless foul, which is led by Ronald-Ann. Good. classic stuff. This is also the only Christmas special in which a character hacks up a furball.

You’re too late for the Peanuts shows, unless you’re quick on the draw with your VCR. The new one was on over Thanksgiving. and it wasn‘t all that great. The old. classic one was on last Wednes- day. Charlie Brown’s perseverance in the face of total adversity should serve as an inspiration to us all. as should Linus’s brilliantly written and deliv- ered monologues on the true meaning of Christ- mar. Linus is on a par with Confucius and Dave Lettennan among the great thinkers in the history of huinan civilization (not far behind are Binkley, Calvin, Bucky Fuller. <and Nietzsche-influenced Dogbert). And Vince Guaraldi’s stunning music gives this show the perfect winter atmosphere: who hasn’t felt that hushed. ponderous sense of awe and wonder while stcanding alone and silent, surrounded by blinding white snow?

The rest of the Christmas shows could all be lumped together in one paragraph, since only the three listed above truly distinguish themselves. There’s the Rudolph one, which is pretty darn good. Yukon Conielius,and Herby (or is it Kirby?) the elf who wants to be a dentist give particularly good perfimnances. And people tell me Herby/ Kirby and I look a11 awful lot alike. Go figure.

There are acouple others that use the sane kind of stop-motion animation asRudolph, like the Kris Kringle one. and that Heat Miser weirdness which I’ve never seen.

Anyway. good luck with all of your finals. Wish the folks a Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/ Joyous Whatever for me. Ann yourselves with plenty of snack food ruid a remote control with fresh batteries. Remember, there are only 24 hours to waste in one day. Make the least of each and every one.

(Perplexing layers o f sarcasm on display in that last sentence; figure out what Matt really thinks and win a cookie.)

1 could write about Christmas music rather casily. but m y own holiday musical tastes are so Iacky. oblique. and bimrre that you would all need special training to read this column. And that would just take too long. “Jingle Bel1s”byRocking Dopsie and the Zydcco Twisters. “Mambo Saita Mambo” by The Enchanters; it’s just too esoteric and strange for all of you total strangers to compre- hend without calling TEMS.

So anyway, let’s talk about the second coolest Christmas movie of all time. Melinda Dillon as Mom. Darren McGavinasTheOldMan.And Peter “Messy Marvin“ Billingsley giving one of the most convincing and sympathetic child actor perfor- inruices ever, as Ralphie Parker. Yes. folks. it’s A Clrrianius S/or:v.

We’ve got /);e //urd, which offers a nice helping of gun-toting Christmas cheer. and the classic musical Olnw! . which is basically un- armed until Bill Sykcs shows up. There is also the Silcrr/ N i x / / / . l l ~ ~ d l v Night series, which gets back to that frightening. axe-wielding S a m thing I referred to earlier. And then there is Miracle 011

34th S f i w / . which I haven‘t seen (a terrified hush f;tlls over the audience) but that I hear is quite the classic llick. Anyway. that’s it for the movies. but Heaven Ihhid we should leave the couch. so let‘s deal with soine Christmas television.

Christmas episodes of regular scries are tradi- tionully vapid. cutesy. and downright over-senti- inentnl. Except for 7’ht Sirnpsorrs. which usually has pretty good ones. Some ofthe specials that rear their familiar heads this time of year are not to be missed.

EC rejects French. demand to block world trade talks -

BRUSSELS, Bclgiuin (AP) -- The European Community re- jected on Monday France's de- mand that the EC refuse to dis- cuss farm subsidies in world trade talksuntil concessions arc reached in other areas.

EC negotiators siiid that such a move would block the negotia- tions involving the 108-nation Gencral Agreement onTiuiffsa1d Tradc,orGATT. The tiilksailn for aglobal accord lhat would stimu-

late billions of.dollars in trade. At least five of France's 12 EC

partners. however. backed the French view that kist month'sEC- US firin agrcetncnt wi l l rcquire sacrifices from Europciui fanners beyond the limits the EC set in May. That could yield a minority within the EC strong enough to

SPORTS Turf on an ice rink

We iilwiiys talk about the "four major sports." the ones that get 111 the heiidlilies aid all the coverage. Football. basketball, baseball, ind hockey are. by a~id large. the most important sports to the general inajority of fans. And. at least in this areaof the country. the NHL, NBA. NFL. aid Major League Baseball are the leagues that inatter most.

Then there are the fringe leagues of the fringe sports, the ones wesceonESPNat 3:ISa.m. and wonder if the people watch- ing have lives. You've seen them:

4reIia Football. Indoor Soccer, truck and tractor pulls, and one ,)thcr. .. Box Lacrosse.

This is truly the sport of kings. The Major Indoor Lacrosse Lciigue (MILL) has est;iblishcd teams in seven cities in the north- m t : Baltimore (Thunder). Pittsburgh (Bulls). Buffalo (Bandits), Detroit (Turbos). Philadelphia (Wings), New York (Saints). and of xursc Boston (Blazers). The league has been drawing from the large hockey fan hawe in the region. because the areas where hockey IS succcssful usually arc good places to try to draw lacrosse f'ans. The iports are rather similar.

Lacrosse is hell on iurf. Arenas cover the nonnal 200 x 85' ice rink with artificial 1urf.a big green rug that is literally taped together to fit over the rink. Players wear upper body protection, but almost nothing below the waist: they wear spandex-style shorts, so that when they fall on the turf they almost invariably get vicious jtrawbcrry rug bunis. It's great.

The goalies are fully padded, and display mazing reflexes in rmtccting the 4' x 6' net. The good thing about the bigger goal is that it allows for inore scoring. and therefore more cheering and excite- ment: an average gatne has about 20 or 25 total goals.

Clciuly. though. the best thing about the MILL is the hitting. Thcsc guys absolutely kill each other, going into corners throwing Iwo-handcrs with their sticks. As one guy runs up the "field' with the ball. thedcfeiidcrroutinely whacks at his armsand torso with the {tick like a wcilp)tI. It's great.

The league. which is about five years old, has progressed froin its original form to allow for more excitement. For instance. in the MILL'S second year I went to a Wings game in Philadelphia. Before the game started, the PA ainouncer was going over some new rule ;hanges. He noted that unlike in the first season, the MILL was now allowing cross-checking above the waist (but below the head) to be Iqul. That night. the two teams took turnsdrillingeachother. It was great.

I t is here that I must recount a Story. Afed yeah ago,?was at a Wings-Pittsburgh Bulls game at the Spectrum. with about 15,000on hand. The Wings were defending league champions, but the Bulls were also a good team. 'and they had a tough forward named Butch Marino (I trust that there was no relation to Dan). If you know hockcy.thlsguy wasalot likeDale Hunter: ifhe'son yourteam. you love him: if not. you want to kill him.

Anywa)7: Marino got into a raucous fight with one of the Wings. arid aftcr it was broken up. he was led to the penalty box. But before he took ii scat. he took the time to give each corner of the Spectrum the liiger. I don't know about you. but flipping the bird to 15,000 drunk Philadelphians is amistake in my book. The Wings, of course, took offense.

A few miiiutes later. Marino was set to get out of the box and continue playing. As he left the penalty box, the crowd went crazy. but one Wing player took matters into his own h'ands. In a quick substitution. the playerran off the bench and made a bee-line straight for Mariio, who was standing right in the middle of the field.

Everyone in the stands stopped watching the movement of the ball, and looked straight at Marino, who had no idea of what was about to happen. The Wings' player cane at Marino with a huge cross-check, right on the shoulder. It absolutely leveled Marino, who llcw horizontally for afew feetbeforecrashingdownto the turf.The Spectrum eruptedindelight asMarino struggled toregain hissenses. It was great.

As for the young league, well, it's still working out the kinks. Last ycar, the average league attendance was 10,4 11 per game, still more than some basketball teams get. Of course, MILL teams only play four home games a season. but that number still isn't terrible. The statistics also show that Boston brought that average down signifi- cantly. by averaging just 6,859 per game at The Dump ... er, Garden.

The big problem is that the league has a horrible TV deal with the "Prime Network." whatever the hell that is. All I know is that I don't get it on my cable, 'and the only time I've ever seen it was on that huge TV by the food court in the Cambridge Side Galleria. The league brags that the Prime Network will reach "26 million homes in 1993,"md that there will be one game televised weekly. Well, it soundsstupidtome ... they oughttojust suckitupandgetadealwith ESPN. The sport is too good to go to waste.

The Blazers. meanwhile. open up their season on Jan. 22 against;.. you guessed it, the Philadelphia Wings. That's right aftet we gel hack from break. just in time to grab a big Italian sausage. grab a ticket. and cheer for the Wings. Game time is 8 p.m. at the Garden. so get your tickets now. I'm not kidding. This is a great sport. and something everyone

ought to see at Icast once. This truly is the future of sport: lightning quick action, lots of cheering. and senseless violence. C'mon, get your aggression out ... and it'sbetter to have 10,000people cheering for violence than going out mid being violent, no?

Discovey astronauts conduct laser tests

CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla. (Ap) -- Discovery‘s aslronauts focused their computerized mili- tary camera Monday on Mada- gascar wid a Hudson Bay island and received liscr signals from an Air Force ground station.

Thccrcwnien loggedtheirsec- ond successful laser test as the space shuttle ilcw ()vet- the Ha- waiian island of Maui, on the mission’s X2nd orhit.

They said their laser receiver got signals for;ihout twominutes, hut they did not see any of the green light hcamcd up at them froin an Air Force optical lab on Mnui.

Two olhcr tries Monday were unsuccessful. The shuttle laser receiver. mounted on a cockpit window, registered nothing dur- ing transmissions from the Air Force Maliihiir Test Facility in Palin Bay, Fla.. and from Fort Sill in Oklahoinx

The A m y warits to see how well I;iscrs C;UI convey n:ivigiitioti d;iki to it spiicccriift. That infor- mation currently is traismittcd via radio. which is less secure thiiti Iiiscrs.

One of Monday’s lawr tests had to bc scrappcd hcciiusc of

heavy fog at ii lascr-scnding sta- tion near Albuqucrquc. N.M.

And clouds Monday prevented the astrc~iiauls from photopraiph- ing intcndcd targets in Michigan’s Kc wccnaw Pc n insu la. Morcxco and Momnhiquc. Tlhcy chose clearer locales instcadl.

The camera systctin, ii Naval Research Lahoratory project. is designed to provide the Ihtitudl: and longitude of photographed sites. Such infornlatioti would be a boon to astronauts. who often can’t tell what they’re photogciph- ing.

In another Defense Depment experiment. the astronauts pow- ered up a unit containing an anti- biotic and hiodegrad;:tbIe poly- mer. Researchers want to see how the medicine, encapsulated in the polymer. reacts in weightlessness so they can develop better time- release drugs on E,uth.

Discovery k seven-dhy mission is supposed to end Wednesday afternoon with a hnding at Kennedy Space Center. But the crew is conserving energy by keeping nonessential equipment turned off. because of a chance that bad weather might force them to stay up longer.

Mission Control commentator Brian Welch said the weather is expected to be marginally favor- able for landing Weclnesday at Keti~iedy. The forecast is even worse at Edwards Air Force Base i n California, the backup touch- down site.

Russia’s Constitutional Court ruled that Yeltsin had authority to ban the p~~y‘sPc~litburoandother central bodies. but it also said Coinin unists could resume grassroots activity and file law- suits to try to regain some of the party’s former assets. which Yeltsin nationalized.

Gaidar would not win the simple majority nwded for confirmation itYeltsin didnot reach acompro- mise with the opposition. either by dropping other Cabinet minis- ters or slowing reform.

Andrei Fyodorov, an aide to Vice President Alexander RuLFkoi, told reporters the hard-line oppo- sition would accept Gaiidar as head ofYeltshi’sccoiiomic tcam if other reformist Cabinet members were dropped.

He said the opposition wanted the removal of Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev and itwo deputy prime ministers, Alexander Shokhin andValery Makharadze.

“I am absolutely certain that the departure of Gaidar. if that became possible. would mean most of all the failure of large- scale privatization.” said Deputy Prime Minister Anatolly Chubais.

Even if the Congress rejects Gaidar‘s nomination, Yeltsin can retain him as acting prime minis- ter for up to three months, buying time for the refonns and reassur- ing supporters in the ’West.

Mexico rips U S . prosecuters for accusations of drug trafficking

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexico furiously denounced U.S. federal prosecutors on Monday for alleging that senior Mexican officials were involved in drug trafficking.

The statement was one of the strongest ever issued by the admnistration of President Carlos Salinas deGortari, who has main- tained warm ties with Washing- ton since taking office in 1989.

Witnesses and prosecutors in the Los Angeles trial of two men ‘accused of killing U.S . drug agent Enrique Camarena in Mexico in 1985 have accused major Mexi- can politicans of taking payoffs to ignore drug-running.

“The prosecution has acted ir- responsibly and immorally to in- volve people who have held im- portant public offices based on the testimony of delinquents and criminals who do not merit cred- ibility in light of their personal history,” the attorney general’s office said Monday.

It telefaxed a bulletin to news agencies which said witnesses were“given money, immunity and protection ... It is obvious they will say what the prosecution

wants.” Among those accused were

Puebla state Gov.-elect Manuel Bartlett Diaz, oncealeading presi- dential contender; former Attor- ney General Enrique Alvarez del Castillo,and former Defense Sec- retary Juan Arevalo Gardoqui.

The allegations arose in the federal court trial of two Mexican citizens accused of involvement in Camarena’s torture-death.

The case had already angered many Mexicans because U.S. of- ficials sponsored the kidnapping from Mexico of defendant Dr. Humberto Alvarez Machain of Guadalajara.

Ruben Zuno Arce, a business- man and brother-in-law of former President Luis Echeverria, is the other Mexican on trial.

Mexicosays theU.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding Alvarez’s kidnapping ran contrary to inter- national law.

“This is an illegal trial from the start,” the attorney general’s office said Monday.

Prosecutors say Alvarez kept Camarena alive with drugs for Drolonged torture and Zuno helued

of a drug cartel. The two face life imprison-

ment if convicted on charges in- cluding conspiracy tocommitvio- lent crimes in aid of racketeering and felony murder of a federal agent.

Bartlett was interior minister when Camarena was killed. Alvarez del Castillo, then gover- nor of Jalisco state, later became attorney general and now directs the National Bank of Public Works.

The Mexican statement said Assistant U.S. Attorneys John Carlton and Manuel Medrano “defamed various public servants of the Mexican government” and documented Mexican criminal charges or convictions against six witnesses testifying in the case.

It said two admitted taking part in the 1984 kidnap-murder of f0urU.S. missionariesafter being granted immunity by U.S. pros- ecutors.

Thestatementagain demanded that thecamarena murdercase be tried here. It said Mexico has already tried or convicted 44

Oil spill off Spanish coast ruins sea life

LA CORUNA, Spain (AP) -- Environmentalists on Monday said the spill of millions of gal- lons of oil has seriously damaged therich shellfishing offthisnorth- western port and ruined the Christ- mas mussel harvest for local fish- ermen.

“Christmas is their best sea- son, since the price goes up,” said Juan Lopez Uralde, a Greenpeace official. “Just in the time of the year when they can make some money, they’re ruined.”

Environmentalists feared the wreck of the Greek tanker Aegean Sea would be more damaging to shellfishing than the 1976 acci- dent ofthe tanker Urquiola, which spilled 30 million gallons near La Coruna.

The Greek tanker was carry- ing 24 million gallons of light crude when it broke up last week. Rough weather on Monday pre- vented divers from inspecting the sunken hull and calculating how many millions of gallons have spilled.

Ezequiel Perez Montes, a spokesman for theLaCorunacity government, estimated that 18 million gallons leaked or burned off during a fire that blazed after Thursday’s grounding. The rest remains in two segregated ballast tanks in the ship’s hull, which is in

two pieces. A group of regional fishing

guilds on Monday asked Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez to de- clare the shorelineadisaster zone.

The regional government barred fishing ina30-milestretch south and north of the port until at least Dec. 15 and offered com- mercial fishermen $400 each as compensation.

Lopez Uralde said fishermen in Lorbe, a town across the inlet from La Coruna, complained that the area had just begun to recover from the 1976 spill.

Cleanupcrews havevacuumed up what they believe to be about 1 percent of the spilled oil from the area around La Coruna. But the most important step will be to extract the oil from the sunken hull, said Greenpeace spokes- woman Oliva Nunez.

Volunteers slogged through the crags and inlets of the Galician coast near La Coruna, washing oil-soaked sea birds with special detergent. Oil up to4 inches thick coated the white sandy beaches around thecity of250,OOOpeople.

Volunteers have seen some 2,000oil-soaked sea birds, Nunez said, but have captured only a handful tobe scrubbeddown with special detergent.
