The Department of Stude Panel discu* By VAN HOPE Staff Writer USC ? The presence of U.S. forces in Somalia was debated Thursday night at the Russell House Theater. Setting the platform for discussion was GINT professor Abdullahi Aden, a Somalia native, who explained how his country plummeted to starvation and governmental distress, which led to international intervention. Aden said military dictatorships were the most frequent form of government in Somalia during the Cold War, when the country was politically strategic to the United States and the Soviet Union. "This created an atmosphere where the politics were expressed with only a gun and f violence." Aden said. Somalia's political system collapsed in a 1990, leading to rebellions by four major clans. This power vacuum, Aden said, ignit- c Dropping in 1K9 giK, WMKBSBM f i 'C' '', ? Z'A'ffy _ \ i vlO^?IS-!:;:^ H;! Football greats Tony Dorsett and US( game against the Florida Gators.

In a recent two-week period, six sex offenses reported in the library, leaving police baffled, psy ogists trying to provide explanations and library cials saying they were unaware of the incidents. "In the past couple of months, there has bee increase in incidents, but I have no idea why," Sgt. Brian Seastone of the University of Ari Police Department. "Maybe people are becoming i tolerant of such acts." Nineteen sexual offenses were reported on cai in 1992, including indecent exposure and voyeu police said, while nine have been reported so f, 1993. Gloria Avilliar, senior business manager and lil monitor, said she was unaware of the number of se offenses reported to police.

Comer said the United States initiated U.N. interest in Somalia, and if the nation was to pull out, the same scenario of famine and distress would appear again. "I think that we should stay in this area and exercise a commitment to ordered government, but at the same time, I do support the March 31 deadline," Comer said. In rebuttal to withdrawal, Tobias Lang, a GINT doctoral candidate, said the problems in Somalia are structural and the conflicts that occur stem from these problems. He believes the United States should help by way x>f social and economic means as opposed to political and military means. "I think we should show our leadership there rather than using a military option," Lang said.

Sophomore Carson Bush, a Model United Nations club member, also spoke against withdrawal. He explained how the United Nations has played a major role in restoring Somalia and how the United States should Dlav a security role until a Somali onvpm ment can take over. "I don't see the mission as being U.S.," Bush said. "It's a U.N. mission. We are there for the good of the humans in Somalia." Bush said when the United States pulls out, it would hand its duties over to the United Nations. "I feel the reason we are there is humanitarian and that we will continue to go out being the world's policeman, handing it over to the U.N. as often as we can," Bush said.
