UT group protests Gulf military buildup
Knoxville, Tenn. ? 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."

Institute, W. Va. ? The Du Pont Corporation cancelled a $10,000

emissions from nearby plants shortened the lives of local residents.

new lab equipment.
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.
