", Ty'\ TCU students share fears for Lebanon Associated Press FORT WORTH — Although civil war is creating a fatal tension be tween Moslems and Christians in Lebanon, it hasn’t affected the relationship of two Lebanese stu dents who share the same room in one of Texas Christian University’s residence halls. Besides sharing a room, they also share many of the same fears as they reflect on the affects of war on them and their country. “It’s not a religious war,” said Hani Mansour, a native of the Chris tian village of Monsif, 35 miles north of Beirut. “My friend and roommate Karim is Moslem, and I am Christian,” Mansour said. So if the Fighting back home is based on religion, then “how are we living together?” Mansour wondered. Karim Naamani, a citizen of West Beirut, was 8 years old when war es calated. Both Naamani and Mansour have spent the majority of their lives surrounded by bloodshed. “Life in Lebanon is horrible,” Naamani said. “One cannot plan anything because you never know what will happen in an hour or even in a minute. “It is extremely dangerous to leave your home after seven in the evening for fear of shelling or car bombs. According to Mansour, freedom and safety were hard to adapt to in the United States. “1 was seven years old when the war started. All of my life has cen tered around war, fighting, surviv ing and killing,” Mansour said. “Peace has been a great obstacle to overcome because it has been so long that I had forgotten what peace really felt like.” Because of the deteriorating situa tion in Lebanon, Mansour and Naa mani came to the United States and, subsequently, to TCU. “It was useless to stay and try to study in Lebanon with all the fight ing and also the standard of educa tion was going down,” Naamani said. Watching the evening news has proven to be a trying ordeal, accord ing to both men. v ‘It scares me whenever I hear bad news from home,” Naamani said. “I must try to isolate myself from my family and home in order to live a normal life here.” Mansour also said it is hard to try to ignore the fear. “Everytime I sit down and watch the news I worry,” Mansour said. “How’s my family?... Where was the bomb?... Who died? “Up until now, luck has played a big role because no one has been killed. My parents call after every bombing. ’ According to Mansour, the Leb anese people have no control over the war. “I think that if the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. want to end the war, it will end, and if not, then I’m sorry to say that it will rage on,” Mansour said. “1 view the war as a giant chess game. It is between the Americans and the Russians. Both are presently in a stalemate — thus the war goes on until this deadlock is broken.’ Naamani said he doesn’t know why the fighting goes on in Leb anon. “Everytime I go away I miss it, and everytime I go back I can’t wait to leave it.” UT students use grinding stones, not texts Associated Press AUSTIN — A group of Univer sity of Texas students will put away the books on ancient Palestine this week and try their hands at grinding grain with the ancient stone tools round at an archeological dig in Is rael. “We’re going to see how long it takes to grind enough wheat for a family of six for one day,” said pro fessor Harold Liebowitz. He and his co-workers found the tools. “When students can actually pick up one of these ancient tools and work with it, it’s fascinating for them. It makes everything much more meaningful,” Liebowitz said. The grinding tools are among hundreos of objects — including pottery, glassware and iron utensils — found at Tel Yin’am, near the Sea of Galilee. Liebowitz, an associate professor in the UT department of Oriental and African languages and litera tures, has been excavating the Israeli site for almost 10 years. “Excavating this site is furthering our knowledge of the late Bronze Age and the transition from the Ca- naanite to the Israelite period,” Lie bowitz said.
