[ The topic assigned to me tonight is that of international terrorism, said Bassiouni when he took the podium, “although [ understand from several comments made to me, that some people would be interested in hearing a specific perspective on he Middle East as it relates to this subject.” In his lecture, Bassiouni discussed the general aspects of nternational terrorism before focusing on the Middle East. International terrorism was the subject of another Great Is- :ues lecture by Richard Levinson last semester. “When we got the credentials on Levinson, we felt he could :over the area of international terrorism pretty well,” said ^awrence Schuman, chairman of Great Issues. “When we fi- lally got him here, the speech that he did give wasn’t exactly what we were expecting. In fact, he gave a very pro-Israeli side of the Middle East conflict. “I think that since we did present a program that was very one sided without even knowing it, that it would probably be best that we tried to bring the other side of this. ” Bassiouni, a specialist in international law, spoke for 40 mi nutes. He defined terrorism, noting the characteristics that draw the line between common crimes and terrorist acts of a similar nature. He commented on the rates and areas in which several types of violent acts occur. Next, he explored the motivation behind such acts, civint? ideological, psychopathological, and criminal sources. “What we find, ” said Bassiouni, “is usually a conflict of values. Simply stated, that conflict can be presented as follows: What is terrorism to some, is heroism to others. I think we have reached a point in the history of our civiliza tion when we can safely say that all-out war has lost its historical significance. ” With this end to all-out war, terrorism to achieve internal political transformation and to rid a country of foreign occupa tion will be occuring, he said. He explained the international laws that allow such wars and set the rules to govern them. The rules include carrying arms in the open, being clearly marked and striking only military targets. “When a terrorist conflict exists between two factions, one usually large and strong, the other usually small and weak, both are commiting violations but the larger one can cover them with its propaganda,” he said. Later, in reference to the activities of the Palestinian Libera tion Organization, he stated that they would fight by conven tional means if they could, but they do not possess the strength and facilities to do so. Concerning the Middle East, Bassiouni gave a quick history of the situation, stated that the Palestinians have a right to their land, and offered a solution to the problem. He proposed a compromise by which the Palestinians would return to their land now occupied by the Israelis and set up a separate nation that could then begin relations with Israel. The only other possible solution he sees, but does not believe will work, would be the Palestinians returning to form one nation with the Israelis. ttention redirected oward discrimination / [Women’s Awareness is redirect- ittention to national problems luse the group feels A&M’s len have overcome discrimina- Patrice Ash, a member, said that atmosphere on campus has be- oint conn Sections Jroposed A resolution authorizing joint tions with the A&M Consoli- I School District is scheduled to pnsidered at the College Station Council meeting tomorrow oiyear 1 The resolution would allow resi- ^ ints to vote for both city and school pals on the same day and at the 'me location.

Schnabel indicted again Misconduct involves 5 acts I HE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, FEB. 11, 1976 Page 3 Associated Press AUSTIN — Senate Secretary Charles Schnabel has been indicted three more times: once for alleged official misconduct; once for forgery; and once for stealing. A Travis County grand jury, which heard 47 witnesses during its hol dover period since Jan. 1, Tuesday reindicted Schnabel on the official misconduct charge it returned against him Dec. 30, this time ad ding several more counts to that charge. Within minutes of the announce ment of the new indictments, Schnabel strode into District Judge Tom Blackwell’s courtroom wearing a snappy white beaver hat with curled brim. Blackwell, with the as sistance of Schnabel s lawyers, Roy Minton and Charles Burton, hand led the posting of bond with dis patch. The grand jury indicted Schnabel on Dec. 30 on one count of official misconduct and two counts of theft. He posted $6,000 bond. Tuesday, he posted an additional $4,000 bond. All of the indictments are third- degree felonies punishable by prison terms of 2-10 years and $5,000 fines. The new official misconduct in dictment involves five separate acts. The one returned on Dec. 30 only alleged that Schnabel worked a Se nate employe, Frank J. Smith III, on Schnabel’s farm on Senate time. The new indictments charge Schnabel: 1. Misapplied the services of Smith, Angie Montoya, University of Texas basketball player Rich Par sons and UT football player Terrance Tschatschula. The state contends all four worked at a “branding party” on Schnabel’s farm on June 19, 1975. 2. Misapplied state money in pay- ‘Dumb way to try to beat Russians’ Associated Press WASHINGTON — Air Force Secretary Thomas Reed says the proposed U.S. cruise missile will be effective only against thinly de- jfended targets in the Soviet Union (but that he would be sorry to see the Career diplomat to speak SCONA XXI will feature its sec ond speaker tomorrow morning at 10:45 in the Rudder Theatre. Iqbal Akhund, a permanent rep resentative to the United Nations, is a career diplomat. He has served in diplomatic posts in Europe, Asia, and the United Nations in New York. During his New York tenure, he served as member of the Pakistan Delegation to the Security Council, as Pakistan’s representative on the Secretary-General’s Advisory Committee on the Congo and as a member of the working group on the Administrative and Financial Proce dures of the United Nations. Akhund was elected president of the Economic and Social Council for 1975. weapon bargained away in arms limi tation agreements. He appeared to downgrade the importance of the air-launched cruise missile, which the Russians have been trying to curb in nuclear arms limitations talks with the Un ited States. Reed contended the relatively slow moving cruise missile could not do the job that the piloted B1 bomber, with its sophisticated radar-jamming gear and supersonic short range missiles, could do against heavily defended “core” targets. Meanwhile, President Ford signed a compromise $112.3-billion defense appropriation bill that in cludes funds for the B1 bomber and provides money for defense opera tions for the 15-month period ending Sept. 30. The bill contains $8.6 bill ion less than Ford originally re quested. Reed made his comments to re porters on Tuesday in reply to a Brookings Institution study that re commended against producing the Bl, the costliest bomber in history at a projected price of $21.4 billion for 244 planes. Reed said the cruise missile, es sentially a pilotless jet drone which travels at subsonic speeds, would be “a rather dumb way to try to beat Russia’s thickening air defenses be cause the weapon would not be equipped with electronic coun termeasures equipment. come progressively friendlier for women. “No one spits on my shoes any more,” she said. Former members of Women’s Awareness have become active in the National Organization for Women (NOW), a powerful wo men’s organization in the area. “Many members are active par ticipants in the Rape Crisis Coun seling Service of Bryan-College Sta tion,” Ash said. “We are trying to make the service recognized in the community.” In the early 1970's, Women s Awareness was formed to increase opportunities for women on campus. It soon had over 50 members. During the club’s existence, A&M changed dorm rules for greater free dom, created women’s athletics and struck the word “male” from yell leader requirements. Dr. Ethel Tsutsui, the adviser for Women’s Awareness, is a vice- chairperson on NOW. — Diana Totah Sun Theaters 333 University 846-9808 The only movies in town.
