A group of University of Tennessee students, many of them foreign-born, staged a Sept. 4 silent protest of the U.S. Military buildup on the Arabian Peninsula. It was one of several such protests on American college campuses during recent weeks. "We view the ban on food and medicine shipments to the Iraqi people as unjustifiable, criminal and inhumane," said the statement from the protesters, who held signs urging that Arabs be left to solve the "Arab problem" of Iraq's conquest of Kuwait. Memorial to Syracuse students amended Syracuse, N.Y. ? After a group of parents complained that a memorial to the 35 Syracuse University students killed in the 1988 terrorist bombing of a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, Scotland, was "insensitive," Syracuse officials unveiled an amended inscription on the memorial on Sept. 5. The new phrase states the crash, which killed 270 people, was "caused by a terrorist bomb." The original inscription did not cite a cause. "We were confronted by a small group of parents who felt the university had been most insensitve in their failure to identify the cause of the crash as a terrorist bombing, thereby allowing the event to be viewed as an accident," Syracuse adminstrator Ronald Cavanagh said. "They felt there should be a sense that folks of good conscience ought to pursue the perpetrators." Du Pont cancels WVSU gift after protest letter Institute, W. Va. ?

Nursing student doesn't have to dissect cat Warwick, R.I. ? In a compromise with her school, Community College of Rhode Island nursing student Rosann Charron won an 18-month-old fight to avoid having to dissect a cat in a class she needed to get her degree. On Aug. 29, the college agreed to let Charron, who contended raising cats for the purpose of being dissected is immoral, take an alternate human anatomy class at the University of Rhode Island. Stanford faculty arrested for job protests Stanford, Calif. ? Police arrested Stanford University Professor John Manely and four other campus workers who had barricaded themselves in a school building to protest a round of layoffs that could cost 300 to 400 Stanford employees their jobs. The five said Stanford, which announced it needed to cut $22 million from its operating budget by next September, was punishing low-level workers for higher-level money mismanagement. Money woes are also causing layoffs, sometimes of teachers, at the 19 Califorinia State Univesity campuses and at most public campuses in West Virginia.

Willie Fuller, now a 42-year-old production manager at a Columbia television station, remembers landing in Vietnam as a young Marine Corps draftee. "The day I stepped off the plane in Da Nang, the heat from the ground was something I'd never seen before. People were running around with stretchers. The terrain was so torn up I thought, 'Lord, if there's a hell, this is it," Fuller said. Fuller was injured twice during his tour and hospitalized for months. "War is hell. It's not fun and games. War is hell. I feel sorry for anyone who has to go," he said. "It's nice to go after adventure in life, but don't be a fool. War's not adventure," he said. :olor pro- after all personal computers in the computer computer center and terminal area a large are occupied, ilification Other applications of the com:edom of puters include teaching introduc>r can as- tion to computers in business, the ividuals use of PC spreadsheet applications to solve business problems, and be avail- the use of mathematical models to mts, pro- simulate manufacturing cheduled, environments. iUMP ; |ff*^ - - : sJlililt xlfllil^^^ M ck of Lies. \mr ' < - * [he EAL jy's Mill? e across street package icilities y lofts I pool ty ml r T r ; living IIV III 1 I 01 "Ml & ASSOCIATES
