Veal cut from dining menus

Tufts University Dining Services (TUDS) has elimi- nated veal from dining hall menus in response to a view- point written in the Daily last week by sophomore Jaime Roth. In her article, Roth implored students to “stop supporting cruel and callous ‘agribusiness’ practices and refuse to eat veal.”

THE TUB

Letters to the Ec Bao Lord is-a notable speaker To The Editor:

It saddens me to think that Bette Bao Lord, this year’s Commencement speaker, is being touted as “unknown,” someone whose stature “pales in comparison” to that of people such as Tom Brokaw or Les Moonves, the head of CBS. The promi- nence and stature of this well-known au- thor and wife of the Assistant Secretary of State is somehow less that than of the head of a television network? The editorial (“Commencement speaker not up to par,” 4/9/96) stated that Ms. Lord will bring neither prominence, publicity, nor wide- spread recognition to the University. The editorial seemed to suggest that only a major political figure will bring the media to campus, thus providing an excitement- filled, memorable Commencement Day, a day when graduates will receive an even more valuable diploma thanks to this po- litical “big-name speaker.”

The editorial suggested that Tufts should “bring a speaker about whom students and alumni can be excited.” I suggest that in- stead of broadcasting their ignorance by crying out “who?” at the administration’s choice of Commencement speaker, stu- dents should take a little time to learn about Ms. Lord, and realize that major political players and media figures are not the only people who can give memorable speeches. Perhaps then students will be excited and “filled with pride and reverence” for this notable and truly distinguished speaker.

Taking back the night To the Editor:

We would like to thank all of the men and women whocameout in thesnowstorm to support the Take Back the Night march. [t was great to see so many people coming together toprotest violence against women and hear strong voices chanting to reclaim the night. The scary statistic is that one in four women will be raped in her lifetime. The march showed that Tufts has a voice in the fight to end the silence and stop the violence.

Karen Hennessy LA’98 President, Women’s Collective

Julie MacDonald LA’98 Secretary, Women’s Collective

To the Editor: We are writing in response to Duy Linh

Tu’s article, “Getting Home Alive”on April 10. We feel that Mr. Tu missed the point of

rs DAILY Friday, April 12,1996

itor Tuesday night’sTakeBacktheNightmarch. Mr. Tu said, “[The march has] a great goal, but what about the other 364 nights of the year?” We agree that women are still vul- nerable, but the purpose of the rally and the march was to raise awareness, education, and understanding for all women who live with the threatheality of rape or sexual assault. Although the rally was not intended to create a utopian society in which women will always feel safe, it certainly called attention to the all too common experi- ences of violence against women.

Mr. Tu stated violators and rapists do not go to these events, and therefore the effectiveness of such rallies is quite sus- pect. Once again, the primary goal of the rally has been misinterpreted. In reality, the rally allowed women to come together and recognize their shared experiences. It was a way of identifying the problem so women can feel empowered to strategize for future social changes.

Certainly, the CD Home Alive: The Art of Self-Defense supports a good cause. However, it targets a completely separate issue from Take Back the Night rallies. We, agree with Mr. Tu that people need to take action, but in contrast to him, we believe that one of the purposes of a rally is to promote action.

An unrepresentative community To the Editor:

President DiBiaggio’s statement that “This University is amicrocosm of society and the-attitudes of society in general are being reflected in our student body,” is spurious. By definition, Tufts is not a mi- crocosm of American society, but a care- fully -constructed elite community. We have rigorous academic standards for member- ship that few Americans could satisfy, as well as a tuition bill well beyond the reach of many.

As aresult ofthese two factors, theTufts student body can hardly be called a“micro- cosm of ,society.” The vast majority of us are both better educated and wealthier than the average American. Tufts is also less racially diverse than the United States, not to mention the fact that most students fall into a very narrow age range. Taken to- gether, these factors result in acommunity that is incredibly un-representative of soci- ety.

While we are all members of our greater

trend against affirmative actictn, will often play themselves out quite differently in the academy. Thus, it is inappropriate to ap- proach campus events and issues in the same manner one would use with the Con- gress. While Tufts certainly represents a society in miniature, that society, and its attitudes, are not those of our nation.

Colin Kingsbury LA’98

Add/drop decision is disturbing To the Editor:

I am writing to express my disgust and disrespect for the Educational Policy Committee’s (EPC) decision to limit the adddrop period to the first two weeks of a semester (“Faculty toughens adddrop poli- cies,”4/10/96). I contend that the system in place, perhaps not perfect, is adequate and acceptable.

The fact that the EPC wants to require students to get their advisor’s signature in order to drop is ludicrous. A student who pays close to $30,000 a year in any form reserves the right to get into the best classes possible and to drop any class they want without a permission slip.

The two week time period is also a veritable joke. Many professors spend the first week of classes simply going over the syllabus and scarcely delve into the meat of acourse by the end of the second week. The EPC thinks this is enough time for astudent to make adecision on acourse. Why should students feel an additional academic bur- den when faculty give them so little to go on? Students and faculty both need more time to prove their worthy involvement in a course.

Finally, Mr. Slapikoffs Orwellian state- ment that “Studentspreregister withoutgiv- ing a damn about what they really want to take” is one of the most moronic and insen- sitive assertions I have heard in two years. I think the fact that students take the time to add or drop any course shows that they do indeed “give adamn.” The more important question to be asked is are these courses and professors committed to me?

How dare Dr. Slapikoff and the EPC members who voted for this proposal make a judgement call on the personal commit- ment students have in their education. I believe $30,000 a year is example enough of a commitment. At these prices, I will take the time necessary to select the courses I want whenIwantandaddordropacourse for any reason I desire.

The EPC should overturn their silly de- cision and Dr. Slapikoff should apologize to every self respecting student for his high and mighty remark.

Students explore Cuban politics Unique trip provided an opportunity to gain understanding

by MATT ALTMAN Daily Staff Writer

Three Tufts students came back from spring break last week with a slightly different story to tell their friends. In fact, their story was so unique, they decided to share it with the entire Tufts community this past Tuesday evening.

The story includes the view of clear blue Caribbean water 50 feet from their hotel window and the tropical weather that Tuftonians have lusted over for more than four months. For senior Audrey Benison and sophomores Erin Murphy and Lauren Schowe, however, this spring’s interlude didn’t hinge on the right tan - it rested on a US State Department’s go-ahead on the day they left, be- . cause that’s what it takes to get to Cuba. It was either receive the approval, or a possibIe $250,000 fine and up to ten years in jail when they ventured back.

Yet, when asked whether she would have gone anyway, Murphy responded with a resounding yes. She added that she was “slightly worried at the time because of the Helms-Burton Act” that was re- cently passed to strengthen the US embargo on Cuba, but i t was something she was “willing to fight.”

Leading the students’ support at home was Spanish Professor Claudia Kaiser-Lenoir. Introduc- ing the three as “incredibly privi- leged’’ to be able to witness first- hand the otherwise “obscure re- alities of Cuba,” Kaiser-Lenoir mentioned the importance of hear- ing the impressions of their peers in order to understand the Cuban perspective. This dual-perspec- tive, from behind the American and Cuban borders respectively,

resonated throughout the evening. The three Tufts women trav-

eled to Cuba through a program at Roxbury Community College called the Cuban Reality Project. They spent the last semester learn- ing about Cuban culture, politics, and economics -much of which they elaborated on during the hour and a half discussion that included pictures and slides of everything from thriving Cuban children to a guagua (gwa-gwa), a camel- humped city bus and just about the only motor-driven transportation in the city.

The trip lasted a week, and also included 14 other people, ranging from Cuban dissidents to Murphy’s Cuban-American friend, who was reunited with family after 30 years - an expe- rience that gave the sophomore insight into the Cuban situation. “Cuba is the Cuban people,” not just a country, she said simply.

This sentiment rang true for Schowe and Benison as well. Benison, the senior in the group, went to Cuba to complete her hon- ors thesis on the AIDS program which exists there. Benison pre- sented her examination of Cuba’s AIDS policy in the context that it is the “way a nation chooses.to react in crisis that underlies the social morals and values i n its society.”

Schowe, who before the trip knew little about Cuba except for its Communist government, ex- panded on this theory by saying, “What people here need to real- ize is the diversity of thought” that exists in Cuba, despite the oppres- sion of the authoritarian govern- ment. Schowe went to Cuba seek- ing the answers to “the black and white of the issue,” an issue that was peaked by the Cuban aggres-

flying in Cuban air space a few weeks before the students’ depar- ture. However, she “found only gray” as she discovered Cuba’s many dimensions.

Some of these dimensions in- cluded the Cuban man who told the three that “life in Cuba [was] epitomized by the guagua - all these people squished inside with one door.”

However, as Murphy pointed out, Cuba has universal health care and education systems that reach 100 percent of the popula- tion. Additionally, Cuba managed to keep every high school and hospital open despite a 70 percent decrease in exports and imports since 1989, owing to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

In spite of the fact that every Cuban can walk into a doctor’s home to request medical care, many Cubans go without such es- sentials as soap and cooking oil.

This prioritization, established hy Cuba’s despotic leader, Fidel Castro, and his socialist govern- ment, allows for a population who, as Schowe put it, “was very well-informed and articulate when talking about social issues, espe- cially relations with the United States.”

However, on the flip side, Murphy noted the story of the psy- chiatrist who dubs tapes to make ends meet, even though he prac- tices regularly and is paid the highest State wage - 400 pesos a month. His wage translates to $16 a month, whereas his tapes bring in actual dollars, sometimes doubling his wagc. Thc psychia- trist points out, “What American doctor do you see who must sell tapes to make a living?’

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Showcase Showdown good, fun punk music ‘Appetite of Kings’ is a strong debut

by LORNE BEHRMAN Daily Staff Writer

The drums crescendo. A wave of distortion enters. Frontman Ping Pong rants, raves, and begins

I Album p p Review

“The Pool of Condemnation,” one of 16 punk anthems that grace the Showcase Showdown’s debut al- bum, Appetite of Kings. Like all songs by SS, as they are popularly known, “The Pool of Condemna- tion” mixes the insane with the inane. With silly lyrics such as “It’s so neat ... Where Barbara Cartland reigns and she is the au- thority Splash Splash,” Ping Pong lashes out at all the fashion that is consumed, punks included. Such cynicism comes as no surprise from SS. After all, the band is in- famous for a song entitled: “Fuck You, Norway.”

Appetite of Kings is chock full of delightful surprises. The most outstanding is SS’s choice to cover “Roller Girl,” an obscure German song. There is nothing more bizarre than hearing Ping Pong sing in German about Anne Karina. Musically, the song sounds like a mangled Kinks song. Off-kilter drumming and percus- sive guitar playing give this tune a ’60s garage-band feel. Ping Pong’s off-key delivery, “Rolllllaaaaa Girrrl, Rolla Girrrrl,” punctuated with Steve Jones-esqe guitar leads recalls the Pistol’s cover of Johnny B. Goode.

Comparisons to Sex Pistols are

obvious, but the band has a strong affinity for power pop. Songs like “213” and “Fat Actor” showcase their ability to write sticky-sweet pop hooks. The background chant in “213” gives the song almost a Ramones feel, and even a Bay City Rollers feel. However, the guitar playing on “Fat Actor” is definitely in the Strummer/Jones vein.

Showcase also e2plores their love for Oi! music. Songs like “Oi Oi Deacon” and “Police, Police” feature chanted choruses reminis- cent of British’s finest working class anthems. On “Oi Oi Dea- con,” the band strikes out against religious hierarchies: “Your picture’s in the Pilot all the time ... I know the priests must all be jeal- ous.” The controversy continues on “213,” an anti-LA tune, featur- ing the chant “Now we’re going to smash you, right into the sea.”

The album is testament that the band has grown infinitely from touring, recording, and practicing. S S has managed to improve its musicianship while maintaining the music’s urgency. This is par- tially due to drummer Chez Nips. His playing, backed by bassist Victoria, is always on top of the beat, giving the music an edgy quality. Tom’s guitar playing is impeccable. He flawlessly deliv- ers the hooks, from Swingin’ Ut- ters-esque lyrical hooks to mangled Chuck Berry leads. Ping Pong’s singing sheds its Jello Biafra influence, embracing a full- on Johnny Rotten croon.

p D A’bum I Review

Mike Johnson offers up a second solo effort, Year of Mondays, which distinctly whiffs the right side of roses. A slow, lugubrious affair in which whiskey mixes with cigarettes and overcast skies to advertise the many joys of de- pression, Johnson comes across as a latter-day Leonard Cohen with a Nick Drake fixation. The Dace

dinary and ingenious work a re- flection of Johnson’s diverse songwriting style, it is also im- pressive because of the album’s lush arrangements and the exten- sive contribution of his all-star cast of collaborators - Dinosaur Jr. guitarist J Mascis moonlight- ing on drums, Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin filling in on bass guitar, and all of the mem- bers of Juned doing too many things to list here.

Year of Mondays constitutes a quantum leap forward from Johnson’s solo debut, Where Am I? released by Seattle. indie label Up. The album seemed intent on escaping the raging guitars of Di- nosaur Jr. for a auieter kind of

album. We recorded Where Am I ? in about three days, whereas we took about a month and a half to do this one.”

The current release continues in the musical style of his initial ven- ture as a solo artist. Beautiful, sparse, mostly acoustic arrange- ments surround Mike’s understated vocal range. In the tradition of many of the great songwriters of our time, the compositions on this record have a folk leaning. Soul- ful, somber ballads and uplifting yet tear-jerking, up-tempo tunes are the bulk of this record. There are also three cover tunes paying tribute to Townes Van Zandt, Lee Hazlewood, and Gene Clark.

Echoes of these artists show UD is unhurried, the tone beautihly Tars shows psychotic desolate, and Johnson is not afraid lease garnered little reaction out- there is even a whiff of “Wichita

Tara has a lot of problems, and this week we saw just a few. For instance, there’s her warped, twisted view of friendship. Since Kelly doesn’t like Val, Tara, be- ing a “good” friend, therefore “hopes she dies.” (Thanks for the foreshadowing, Tara.) She steals Kelly’s keys and drives over to Colin’s (barely able to see over the wheel) to inscribes “Die Val” on her car. This causes quite the up- roar at the Peach Pit between David, Colin, Kelly, and Val.

Johnson’s delivery is slow, his words steady and mea- sured. When he sings his sad, mournful songs, people listen and take a look for themselves in the bleakness.

Lone violin, soft-strummed guitars, a gentle beat, and distant female harmonies surround the contemplative cool of Johnson’s vocals on the first track. Johnson’s penchant for spare, narcotic moods is satisfying on its own. Understated tracks like “Another Side” and “Left i n the Dark” should appeal to anyone who ap- preciates harmonious ballads and exuberantly unconstrained senti- ment. But the occasional squalls of feedback-laced guitar and thun- dering drums on energetic tunes like “Way It Will Bemoo Far” and “Circle” are a welcome breakout.

This guy can’t stop thinking about =summer. I never thought of Northwestern as a summer hot spot, but the campus is right on Lake Michigan. They’ve got beaches, intramural sports, arts and crafts workshops, wine-tasting and pottery making minicourses, basketball and volleyball tourna- ments, campus musicals and the- atrical performances, outdoor movies, and hiking and canoeing trips in Wisconsin. AU with Northwestern Summer Session ’96.. Pretty cool.

Northwestern’s study abroad programs sound great. Prague, Czech Republic; Alexandria, Egypt; and South Africa... They’d all be great oppor- tunit ies to earn college credit, and they’re all places I’d like to visit. Theyve changed so much in recent years. With the three- or six-week program in Prague, I could learn about Czech politics from the inside, visit parts of Bohemia and Moravia, enjoy Czech pubs and restaurants, and experience the renaissance city’s world-renowned architecture. Then again, six weeks in Alexandria, Egypt has its advantages. A five-day Nile cruise, a visit to Cairo’s Great Pyramids, and all the festivals, beaches, and bazaars. Can’t forget South Africa. The wildlife viewing in %. Durban is supposed to be incredible, and the program also includes the Kalahari dessert, Cape Town, and Johannesburg. 1996 will be a hot summer!

I could use some extra credit this summer, and I think Northwestern’s the place to go. Summertime means smaller classes and better access to some of Northwestern’s most popular professors. They even have a course on the Beatles, and if I get ambitious, I can earn a full- year of college credit with Northwestern’s eight-week intensive course sequences in physics, chemistry, and nine lan. guages. It’d be nice to go back tc school in the fall with a few extra credits on my transcript.

Summer in the Windy City jounds like a great time. Chicago has jazzfests, blues- fests, and gospelfests, Cubs Sox games, some of the best museums and art galleries in the world, and ethnic festivals all summer long ... I’d have plenty to do, and it’s all just minutes from the Northwestern campus.

bag for crew me bad over weekend

by NORA LEE Daily Staff Writer

Battling conditions that called for Christmas snow and Santa Claus rather than spring flowers

and the Easter Bunny, the novice and varsity men’s and women’s

crew t e m s braved the brisk weather last weekend In a chal- lenging set of races against MIT and Boston College, with the nov- ice men and women celebrating with a victory dance.

Despite losing to BC, the var- sity women gave a strong perfor- mance as they stomped all over MIT. In the last 400 meters of the 2,000 meter race, MIT encoun- tered some mechanical trouble as they caught a crab and watched sadly as the Tufts boat glided right by. A crab occurs when the oar blade enters the water at an angle rather than perpendicularly and gets caught under the water sur- face, causing the oar handle to drive into the stomach of the rower.

“All of a sudden she was thrust back, laying down on her back with her oar over her head,” Jumbo captain Fiona Scholand said.

Though unfortunate for MIT, the mistake was a gift for the Jum- bos who had a delayed start and needed the time to catch up.

“I feel as though we could have beaten MIT without their mishap, for we were very consistent with our pressure and didn’t let them get too far ahead. It’s all about rowing, and we were focused,” remarked Scholand.

BC, on the other hand, blew past the Jumbos, winning the race with plenty of open water behind them.

The second varsity women’s boat deserves credit for their en- durance and determination, as they finished third, with BC also winning this race. The Jumbos

were three-quarters of a boat length behind MIT at the start as BC blasted by. In the end, they finished bow to stern with MIT.

Rower Jane McPhedran said, “It’s going to take some time for the boat to come together because there are a lot of rowers that have just come up from the novice team to fill the boat. We’re hoping for a more established team by the time New Englands roll around.”

The varsity men, after their impressive and close race with Dartmouth last weekend, did not prove to be as strong this week- end. With a very shaky start, ner- vous anticipation overtook their usual racing confidence, as Tufts finished two boatlengths behind the competition.

determination, but the depth and strength of the Jumbos.

At first, it was a bit scary, as the team lost their first race to Boston University. That didn’t deter them from the task at hand, as they came back to win the next seven races that day. On Sunday, they scared everyone again, drop- ping their first race to 0-8 Coast Guard. Once again, however, they came back to advance to the final four. And again the lost their first race to BU. Despite these early problems, Tufts overcame the ad- versity to soundly defeat second place Harvard, 13-3 to 11-5.

Interestingly enough, one of the best races of the competition was against Harvard. The Jumbos jumped out to an early lead over Harvard, but couldn’t hold it. Harvard ganged up on Wadsworth and Keh and shot them from be- hind, then ganged up on Woodsworth and Wilson, block- ing their wind, and shooting them from behind.

Harvards problem was timing. It took the Crimson team so long to accomplish all this that Wadsworth and Keh were able to go the other way, found a good wind shift, and gained enough speed to coast almost the rest of the way. And while the Harvard boats blocked Woodsworth and Wilson, Fallon and Carleton were able to hold off the third opponent’s boat. So Tufts ended up finishing first, fourth, and fifth - great results considering the earlier circumstances.

Legler called this race the turn- ing point in the competition. “We found an unusual way to win and everyone won in a different way,” the coach said. “Those three things combined to win that Harvard race.”

This event was a spectator event. While there were a few hun- dred spectators, Legler was disap- pointed with the overall turnout. There was professional comment- ing, six sponsors, and everyone wore team uniforms. One specta- tor, part-time sailing analyst Joseph Selby, was impressed, however.

“I thought all the teams put on a great show. The Harvard race was very exciting to watch and I wish more people could have been there,” Selby said.

Although the Friis Trophy was the weekend’s premier event, other races went ahead as usual. And as usual, Tufts cruised to plenty of easy victories. .

At the Freshman Invite at Harvard, A teamers Jon Baker and Jessi Dimock, and B teamers Charlie Siegal and Meghan Boardman continued their strong performances with an easy 25-41 victory over Rhode Island.

And at the Oberg Trophy at MIT, A teamers Chris Dimsey and Andrea Nilsen, whom Legler called “the hottest boat in prac- tice this spring,” anchored the at- tack that sent Harvard to defeat by a crushing score of 72- 106.

There are many more big races this weekend, probably none more meaningful than the women’s Dellenbaugh Trophy at Brown. This event will feature 15 teams, including the top nine nationally ranked teams. Navy, St. Mary’s, and Charleston have been hold- ing out their top sailors for this, so the Jumbos will have to be pre- pared to knock them all off.

Judging from last weekend’s Derformances, it shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

Israel strikes at guerrillas by air Los Angeles Times-Washington

Post News Service BEIRUT, Lebpnon - In a reprisal attack that

heightened fears about the search for peace in the Middle East, Israeli warplanes and helicopter gun- ships Thursday struck at Hezbollah guerrillas across Lebanon, hitting Beirut for the first time in 14 years.

At least five people were killed and more than a dozen wounded by rockets from the attacking Israeli aircraft, according to Lebanese government and hos- pital officials. The raids began before dawn and con- tinued until midday with Israeli forces using preci- sion weapons to attack suspected Hezbollah sites in Beirut, the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon.

A Lebanese army outpost near Tyre was also hit, reportedly killing a Lebanese soldier. Israel said it fired on the regular troops after they had shot at the Israeli attackers.

Israel said the attacks were in response to the in- creased Hezbollah rocketing of its northern commu- nities and farms. Tuesday, 36 people were wounded by a barrage of katyusha rockets fired by Hezbollah from southern Lebanon into the Israeli town of Kiryat S hemona.

“I hope they learned their lesson,’’ Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres declared after the day of raids. In Tel Aviv, Israeli military officials warned that op- erations could continue for several more days.

Israeli Foreign Minister Ehud Barak said the raids delivered a message: “Our policy is that no place in Lebanon will be an immune shelter for Hezbollah. We’re going to hit wherever we find them.”

The most dramatic Israeli strike Thursday was directed at a 10-story building in a densely popu- lated southern suburb of Beirut. Israel said the first floor of the building was the headquarters and nerve center of Hezbollah, the Iranian-supported Shiite Muslim militia that opposes all peace negotiations with Israel and has vowed to battle Israel’s occupa- tion of what it calls a “security zone” in southern Lebanon.

In a dense warren of streets decorated with mu- rals of black-robed mullahs and anti-Israeli “mar- tyrs,” Hezbollah fighters carrying automatic rifles and anti-tank weapons closed off roads leading to the damaged building in the Bir el-Abed neighbor- hood where many of the Hezbollah leaders live. Even Lebanese government officials were barred from seeing the effects of the strike.

Israeli officials were certain the attacks had hit their mark.

“Nothing was missed, and the damage to neigh- boring facilities was minimal, if any. This is a great achievement,” Ma$ Gen. Herzl Bodinger, chief of the Israeli air force, said in Tel Aviv.

Hundreds of residents rushed for cover in base- ments after the attack on Beirut began. Others fled

the predominantly Shiite Muslim slums by car or on foot, heading toward the city center. Ambulances, sirens wailing, raced to the area near Beirut Interna- tional Airport, which was shut down for about an hour.

The sound of explosions brought back fearful memories to the people of Beirut, who suffered the ravages of a 15-year civil war that ended in 1990. Since then, they have enjoyed a relative peace brought about by the deployment of 35,000 Syrian troops in the country and the creation of a government under Syrian auspices.

nese-American Fadi Alame. “Everything is com- pletely in a standstill.”

An administrator at Sahel General Hospital, Alame said the first crashing of bombs set off apanic, with passers-by racing for shelter. “We just heard an explosion and thought it was a car bomb or some- thing.”

The hospital’s parking lot was rocked by an ex- plosion. Windows in private houses along the road to the airport were broken and wrought-iron bars bent by the blast.

“I thought the building was going to fall down,” sad Haidar Mahaidan, 55, a fish merchant, who shel- tered with his wife and eight children in a bedroom after hearing the blasts.

All the windows on the ground floor of his house were shattered.

Using aerial photographs and videotapes of the hits, Israeli officials made the case in Tel Aviv that they had executed successful strikes and had tried to limit civilian casualties. They accused Hezbollah of hiding behind civilians in Lebanon in its conflict with Israel.

Peres, who faces aclose contest for re-election in May, denied political pressure played a role in the decision to act against Hezbollah. Israel’s commit- ment to peace in the Middle East is unshaken but cannot “come at the expense of security,” Peres said.

The Israeli prime minister said he had not cleared the operation with the Clinton administration in Washington. “I didn’t consult with them and there- fore got no permission,” he said. “This is an Israeli decision par excellence.”

For Israelis, the prime question is Syria’s reac- tion. Efraim Inbar, director of the Begin-Sadat Stra- tegic Studies Center at Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv,

allow Hezbollah to respond aggressively or whether it would try to quell the violence. “We’ll know in a day or two,” Inbar said.

A 7-year-old girl attempting to become the youngest person to pilot a plane across the continen- tal United States died Thursday morning in a crash just after take- off during a rainstorm in Chey- enne, Wyo., one day into a jour- ney that began here in front of cheering family and friends.

The four-seat Cessna 177B carrying Jessica Dubroff, her fa- ther, Lloyd, and the girl’s flight instructor, Joe Reid, who also owned the plane, was climbing one mile from the Cheyenne air- port when it took a nose dive into a neighborhood street, narrowly missing a house. All three aboard the plane were killed. No one on the ground was hurt.

The National Transportation Safety Board was investigating the cause of the crash, which occured about 8:25 a.m. in a cold rain, with a thunderstorm coming in. The temperature was 38 de- grees, an airport official in Chey- enne said.

Jessica’s confident departure from the tiny airport here Wednes-

day - baseball cap on her head, an ace of spades tucked in her wallet - had been broadcast around the country and news of the crash triggered a wave of sad- ness. It also unleashed a wave of questions and some resentment about the appropriateness of al- lowing a 7-year-old - who stands 4-foot-2 - to fly a plane.

Aviation officials noted that the flight instructor had a full set of controls at his seat and was le- gally in charge of the flight, with Jessica only a passenger. None- theless, in Washington, Federal Aviation Administration chief David Hinson ordered a review of the rules covering when an unli- censed pilot may take the controls. A person must be age 17 to ob- tain a pilot’s license.

Although Jessica and her fa- ther had said they hoped to set a record, the Guinness Book of World Records no longer recog- nizes flights made by yomgsters for fear of encouraging competi- tion among younger and younger fliers. Guinness followed the lead of the National Aeronautic Ad- ministration, a non-governmental group that oversees U.S. aircraft

achievements and which stopped keeping records of youngest pi- lots in 1990.

Jessica’s father had insisted his daughter was competent to make the eight-day, 6,900-mile round- trip to the family’s former home in Falmouth, Mass., and back to California. She sat on a red booster seat, and extenders were attached to the pedals so her legs could reach the rudder controls.

“She does the preflight, the run-up, she files the flight plan, she taxis out, she takes off,” Dubroff told a reporter before leaving Half Moon Bay.

At the Half Moon Bay Airport, people speculated Thursday about who was at the controls when the plane took off in bad weather - the 7-year-old Dubroff or the sea- soned flight instructor Reid. One of the airport’s flight instructors, Forrest Storz, said Reid often let Jessica take off and land by her- self.

“If you take over the reins at the first sign of a little trouble, it’s no longer a learning experience,” Storz said Thursday afternoon. “That’s not how you teach in our world of aviation, but you should

know this too - Joe wasn’t a risk taker. He was demanding and he was skilled and he knew what the hell he was doing.”

In this coastal town in San Mateo County south of San Fran- cisco, flags were lowered to half staff in honor of the young girl whose father took her to watch planes take-off and land on her birthday last May -and who de- cided then to become a pilot. She began taking lessons and had logged 35 hours before setting off across country on a sunny Wednesday.

At the single-runway airport, people remembered Jessica com- ing several times a week for fly- ing lessons from her home in nearby Pescadero. Her mother, Lisa Blair Hathaway, would wait outside the hangar in her white van with Jessica’s two other sib- lings in tow. Jessica’s brother Joshua, 9, also took flying lessons.

Airport regulars remember the children as smart and poised and their mother as an enthusiastic supporter of flying lessons.

“The mom very much consid- ered this one of her kids’ activi- ties - like ballet lessons or riding

ponies,” Storz said. The girl’s father, who was di-

vorced from Jessica’s mother and lived in San Mateo, helped fi- nance the flight, according to Storz.

Even after the crash, Hathaway stood firmly behind her - daughter’s hobby.

“I beg people to let children fly if they want to fly,” Hathaway told a reporter Thursday afternoon in Falmouth, Mass., where she had expected to greet Jessica upon completion of the first cross-coun- try leg of the trip.

Hathaway said she had spoken to her daughter Thursday morn- ing on the phone as Jessica sat in the plane in Cheyenne, the engines revving for take-off.

“Do you hear the rain? Do you hear the rain?’ Hathaway quoted her daughter saying, in their final conservation.

After the crash, Hathaway and her two other children, Joshua and 3-year-old Jasmine, left Boston’s Logan Airport for Cheyenne. “Clearly I would want all my chil- dren to die in a state of joy, but not at age 7,” Hathaway told re- porters.

suites, he added. Purekal also addressed student

concerns about safety on campus. He said he has been approached by several students regarding safety in isolated places on cam- pus.

“It only takes oneevent to send shock waves through the commu- nity,” said Director of Public Safety, Sergeant Ron Brevard. Brevard said he and his staff are constantly reminding students to use the safety shuttles and escort service if they need to get around campus late at night. Through ori- entation programs, he said he aims tomakestudentsawareof thedan- gers of letting people they do not know into the residence halls.

Another concern of the stu- dents was the safety shuttle route. Okin said she never received in- formation about the times and places to meet the on-campus shuttle.

Shupack added that she waited over half an hour for the shuttle at Cousens Gym, after parking her car. “From what other people have told me, this is not an isolated event,” Shupack said.

- r

Shupack also said she has not been pleased with the way snow has been cleared from the campus during the past winter. She said that the outside students who are often hired to shovel snow are not doing an adequate job.

“Isee them shovel for five min- utes and then go sit down and come back a few hours later to collect their money. I don’t think hiring people who don’t live here is a good idea,” she said.

Colin Kingsbury expressed concern about the intersection OutsidecurtisHall. He saidpeople do not stop at red lights, making it extremely difficult and dangerous for students to cross the street to reach Curtis Hall.

Kingsbury asked whether a policecar could be stationed there to facilitate people’s compliance with traffic rules. Brevard said there has already been an incident where an undergraduate was hit while crossing that intersection, and he will look into improving its safety for students.

The panel concluded with a discussion of the housing lottery oolicies. Junior Colin Delanev

must use the lower lottery num- ber. He also asked whether a sys- tem could be devised so people withlow lottery numbersone year could be guaranteed high num- bers the following year.

Anne Gardiner, interim direc- tor of Residential Life, said that certain rooms are set aside for sophomores before the size of the incoming freshmanclass isknown. Allowing asophomore to be pulled up to a higher number with a jun- ior partner “erodes any certainty that juniors will be housed,” Gardiner said.

Gardiner added that the soft- ware used to generate the lottery numbers does not make it pos- sible to allocate certain numbers to specific students. Giving cer- tain students preference would prevent the lottery system from being random and unbiased.

Assistant Dean of Students Bruce Reitman said that allocat- ing certain lottery numbers for students a year in advance is not always in the best interest of the students. At the end of freshman year, a student may want to live in astaffed dorm but the student may

sometimes I just felt like I was treading water because I would not use my time well enough -I would be so burnt after a tour that I would not do anything with my energy.”

While Johnson’s guitar-like bass playing has become a pivotal

element in Dinosaur Jr.’s sound, Year of Mondays is a more elabo- rate and fully-realized take on his talent. The musical composition is marked by burgeoning near-or- chestral acoustic arrangements that implore the listener to sym- pathize with the emoltional an- guish of the artist. Mike Johnson knows the many joys of depres- sion.

Band maturine on this album SHOWCASE continued from page 5 _ _ out on this album is the band’s maturing ability to write punk gems. The songs move away from the standard versekhorus format. In its place, the band has added bridges, pre-choruses, and even instrumental breaks. For example, “Marilyn Vos Savant” features a lead break showcasing Tom’s ability to deliver melodic off-the- cuff guitar solos that fall within the context of the song. However, on “Bark the Vote,” (a song about

the importance of giving dogs the right to vote) the strongest cut on the album, the band makes a re- turn to the simplicity of the verse/ chorus form.

Appetite of Kings is a strong full-length debut. It displays both the band’s characteristic wit and its urgent music. With a buzz in both the Maximum Rock n’ Roll scene and the Punk Planet scene, the future looks bright for the Showcase Showdown: they may be punk’s next big thing.

Three explore Cuban politics * CUBA continued from page 3

Benison correlates this prob- lem with her study as she explains the ins and outs of Cuba’s Suniturio for those who test HIV positive. Although the infected people are torn immediately from their jobs and families, Benison found that the care each patient received was unusually high. In fact, she mentioned some extreme cases whereby Cubans self-in- fected themselves in order to be placed in the Suniturio, something that is indicative of the social con- ditions for some people.

However, the facts point in Cuba’s favor, as there are 6.2 in- fected Cubans in every one mil- lion who are infection-free com- pared to the US rate of 589 in ev- ery million, a statistic to remem- ber next time Cuban human rights are brought up in conversation.

Schowe summed up her feel- ings by pondering whether or not she would want to live in Cuba. “In Cuba, everyone is equal and beyond materialism,” yet she didn’t know whether she “would be able to give up what she has [here] i n opportunities and lifestyle.” In the end she decided she would at least visit again.

An additional point of interest surfaced after the three students returned from their sojourn in Cuba. Originally, the three thought they were a part of an exchange program that has brought Cuban students to speak at Tufts for the last few years.

However, with the passing of the Helms-Burton Act, the State De- partment refused the Cubans’ en- trance on the premise that since Cuba is a socialist republic, the Cuban students were working for the State. So, instead of over 100 universities and high schools learning about Cuban customs and life, many students are left knowing little or nothing about our southern neighbor.

In order to protest this politi- cal gesture, you can send mail to Michael Ronneberger, coordina- tor of Cuban Affairs, or Richard Nuccio, special advisor for Cuban Affairs to the Secretary of State at US State Department, 2201 C Street NW, Washington, DC 20520 or phone: (202) 649-9273.

Also, you can contact the Car- ibbean Focus Program. Write to Tom Reeves, Room 3-353, Roxbury Community College, 1234 Columbus Avenue, Boston, MA 02120, phone: (617) 427- 0060, ext 5151.

Citizenshix, award to be given I EPIIC continued from page 1

The symposium, which will feature distinguished speakers from all over the globe, will be monitored by EPIIC students.

Featured panelists include Sheik Rashid el-Ghanoushi, an exiled leader of the Tunisian Is- lamic Renaissance Party who was recently issued an American visa for this event. Ghanoushi is the founder and leader of the funda- mentalist group in Tunisia, and has been living in England for two years in political exile.

One of the foremost thinkers of modern thought, Tu Wei-ming, will speak on modernity and glo- bal ethics, and Faisal Husseini, minister in Charge of Jerusalem for the Palestinian National Au- thority, will speak on the future of Jerusalem.

The Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award, given annu- ally by EPIIC, will be presented to thecommunity of Sant’ Egidio of Rome. This organization was also nominated for the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize for its success in re- solving the war in Mozambique

and for its mediation efforts in Algeria, Northern Ireland, Guate- mala, and Koscovo. Accepting on the organization’s behalf is An- drea Bartoli, the vice president and United Nations liaison.

EPIIC is also hosting its fifth annual secondary school program, housing over 250 high school stu- dents from all over the United States and abroad.

This year, two delegations of students will convene to discuss “Religion, Politics, and Society in North Africa.” Heather Barry, as- sistant director of EPIIC, in con- junction with EPIIC students will help organize and facilitate dis- cussions during the high school program from April 1 1 - 14.

EPIIC draws its resources from the students who devote vast amounts of time and creative tal- ent to their projects and studies.

“The symposium is the after- math,” Teichman explained, “the education of the students is fore- most. The symposium is trying to make dialogue happen, and this is what we’re trying to teach our students.”

sity, Northeastern, Emmanuel, Babson, Bentley, and Brandeis, among other local schools.

The bookstore in the Campus Center sells dorm supplies, text- books, computer software, em- blematic clothing, rings, greeting cards, books, and will sell com- pact discs starting next fall, ac- cording to Carpenter.

Student concerns about the bookstore in recent years have *focused most often on textbook buyback policies. Lee said the is- sue has been brought up at Book- store Committee meetings.

“They take books back for a dollar and charge $50 ... I try to buy as few books here; I try to find the same books at Harvard,” se- nior Cherry Enoki said.

Another senior, Steven Zaklin, said, “they mark up every book because they are conveniently lo- cated.”

“Two years ago, there wascon- cern about buyback andpolicies,” said Lee. “Book buyback is influ- enced by publishers, [and] I don’t expect the bookstore to buy back books there is no market for.”

In response to students’ con- cerns Lee said, “Barnes and Noble has explained policy better and complaints about buyback have lessened.”

“What we do here is not any different than at any other book- store,”Carpentersaidofthestore’s buyback policy. “If we have an order from a teacher. in-writing, we will buy back books for half price until we fill our needs. If we don’t have an order, we have to5 sell it at market price, determined by oaFwholesaler.”’-’r 5 1

Carpenter added that the 50 percent rate of the original price is the standard in the industry.

are discussed TheBookstore Committee also

has discussed the prices of the sweatshirts and T-shirts, Lee said.

One student, sophomore Ky Anh Nguyen, expressed concern over merchandise prices. “It’s ba- sically a monopoly. The clothes are a little expensive, but it’s the same everywhere. !Other than that, it’s good.”

In response, Lee said, “What the bookstore did was brought in a broader range [of c lothing prices] to give students more choices.”

The bookstore introduced some moderately priced clothing, which didn’t sell as well as the more expensive items, Carpenter said. “It doesn’t mean we’re not going to stop trying; we want to try to please everybody.”

Joel Simkhai, a member of the Bookstore Committee and the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate, said the cheaper clothing “wasn’t the nicest merchandise; [the bookstore] could have done a better job.”

“The Senate has expressed a lot of interest in being involved in the process and b y being active members in the negotiations,” Simkhai said of the contract pro- cess.

Simkhai said that, next year, three student members will sit on the committee which selects the vendor.

In response tocornplaints about long waiting lines at rush periods at the beginning and end of the semester, moreregi,, c ters were con- figured to handle points and alle- viate the problem, Lee said.

Lee said there will always be a few complaints due to the bookstore’s sales volume, how- ever she said, “the bookstore“ is performing as required, and [there is] no cause to review the contract in the ninth year.”
