"Some think that sexual virtue
is the be all, key all to determining
character. Presidents can be
vulnerable morally, yet be effective
politically," she said.
"John F. Kennedy was clearly
reckless in his sexual behavior,
but look at his handling of the
Hnhnn Missile flrisis T-To wasn't a
risk taker. Clinton is also veiy moderate
and modest in politics. Whatever
his sex life may be like, he
is not an extreme risk taker."
Glad also thinks Americans expect
too much out of their presidents.
They are expected to be morally
pure while being politically
smart and politically effective. People
think they can never make a
deal but a president can't survive
in political life without
this," she said.
Glad sees Clinton as someone
with the ability to bounce back
from stress rather than shutting
himself down as some presidents
have. For example, Calvin Coolidge
was immobilized after the death
of his son.
She says the public has a problem
with Clinton because they
do not know his position on issues.
"He talks in ambiguous ways.
But Franklin Roosevelt and Gorbachev,
as well as Jefferson and
Washington were accused of this
too. Politicians have to be careful
and watch their talk. Is this an
adaptation to political life? I don't
know," she said.
Glad believes the allegations
concerning Lewinsky are more serious
politically than previous allegations
concerning G'ennifer
Flowers and Paula Jones.
"Lewinsky is younger and this
happened in die White House. The
others are past history. The guy
should, if he did what they say,
have been acting more politically
astute," Glad said.

However, she believes that
speaking of impeachment is premature.
"We don't know what happened
yet. Impeachment would be long
down the road. Most likely, though,
he would resign," she said. "It's
strange. It's not a criminal trial if
he did encourage her to lie. Fm not
aware of anyone who's been
prosecuted tor lying in a deposition
in a civil case."
Glad said "gotcha" politics is
characteristic of the past decade,
and this type of media coverage
for former presidents like Jimmy
Carter, Ronald Reagan and George
Bush did not occur during their
presidencies.
"People still liked sex and crime
in the 60s, but it wasn't like this
with Carter, Reagan and Bush,"
she said. "Carter did political things
while claiming not to be political
like appointing friends when he

However, Glad does not
know why the change occurred.
"Perhaps it's a more active
right- wing group making a concerted
effort to get Bill Clinton,"
she said.
She also believes that the increased
coverage is not caused
by an increased demand by the
people.
"We shouldn't go back to where
nothing's published anymore, but
the press doesn't wait for balanced
stories anymore," she said.
"Once it's in one source, the responsible
press goes after it. They
don't want to be scooped. Double
checking evidence be damned."

college students and school officials from
St. Mary's College in Maryland who were
on an anthropological tour of Guatemala,
some educators back in the United States
promptly canceled their plans to back 1
similar study trips to the Central American
country.
Spring Arbor College in Michigan ordered
18 of its students and faculty members,
also in Guatemala at the time of the 1
attack, to return home immediately, cut
ting short their trip by two days.
Administrators at Michigan State University,
which sent 22 students to the
area last month, weren't planning to send
another group until December. They've ^
already nixed those plans. f
The attack on Jan. 16 raises questions j

Courts already have ruled that col- ]

campus, but whether the same is true for

Another BU student had a cup of coffee

Both cases have happened within the 1

But at many colleges across
the country, students have to press school
officials for more information about the
crimes committed around them. Numbers,
they argue, just aren't enough. They
want the names of the students involved.

"We're always scared that if there were dii
one terrorist incident in Rome, what could htl
happen to us there, despite our liability
insurance protection," said Rose Hayden, in{
a board member of American University Sa
in Rome, according to news reports. "It tei

Such uncertainty comes at a time lat
when more American students are study- tio
ing abroad than ever and venturing in- tw
to more diverse territories. The number tio
of students in Latin America in 1996 Ce
jumped 18 percent to 13,726 over the previous
year; in Africa by lOpercent to 2,027; ini
and in Asia by 5 percent to 5,699. ed
The uncertainty also comes at a time inc
when the State Department is advising shi
Americans worldwide "to exercise greater ing
than usual caution" when traveling. Experts
suggest tips ranging from avoiding poi
loud talk to staying out of dark areas at ing
aight. They also say travelers should fol- rol
iow current events and leave clothing with
rnveted labels, Nikes and Levis, for ex- wa

"Such disclosure nationwide is simr
unthinkable," said Lori Tenser, Branis
University's associate director of cams
life. Because Brandeis is private,
ther students nor journalists have the
ht to attend hearings, she said.
"Private institutions do not adhere to
s same standards that public ones do,"
aser said. "Freedom of the press apes

Michael Conn, like most students who
study abroad, told the Associated Press
he's bound for Western Europe. France
is the "safest place" to study French, he
said.
"I think people might say at first that
Africa would be cool, and then they say,
This place might have an unstable government,
and I don't want to be in that
area if it blows up,w he said.
Conn also said he's been encouraging
his girlfriend to study Spanish in Spain
instead of Central America so she'll have
a better chance of avoiding incidents such
as the attack in Guatemala.
"She's pretty definitely going to Spain,
and she's looking for one more deciding
factor," he said. "I think she may have
found it."

"A bunch of complications arise over ^
having public hearings," said T. Barton
Carter, a professor of mass communication
at BU. "You have to measure the privacy
right of the student versus the public
safety."
Carter pointed to a case at Brown University
three years ago in which a female
student claimed another student raped
her. The campus newspaper got the name
of the accused and printed several articles
about the case. The man was exon- ^
erated eventually, but he withdrew from
Brown after being bombarded with hate
mail and verbal assaults.
"It's something that vou definitely
have to consider when looking at holding
open hearings," Carter said.
