Jassiouni offers
olution to value
onflict in Mideast
By RAY DANIELS
Battalion Staff Writer
International Terrorism was the subject of last night’s lecture
by Dr. Cherif Bassiouni in the Great Issues “Nature of Man”
program.
[ 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.

Schnabel indicted again
Misconduct involves 5 acts

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-

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

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.
