Qawasmi later agreed that kill ing Americans is wrong. “It’s wrong to kill any human being,” he said. “Nobody justifies terrorism, but one has to realize the underlying issues and why these people are willing to strap themselves to bombs and blow themselves up. The problem is, people have been pushed far enough.” Todd Hulsey, a junior political science major and a sergeant in the Marine reserves, said terror ism is an ancient form of warfare, and it is the right of all nations to defend themselves against terror istic acts. Hulsey said, “When there can be no consensus to act among the allies, when diplomacy and eco nomic sanctions have no effect, when our only resource is force, resort to it.” The bombing of Libya, he said, wasn’t designed to stop terrorism or convince people not to commit acts of terrorism against Ameri cans. “What it does is show the world the United States is willing to use that which it is capable of using against those nations who sup port acts of murder, aggression and violence against Americans abroad,” he said.

According to staff members and contractor who poured the con- te, the concrete specifications were changed in 1983 without the approval of the airport board and in violation of an FAA funding agreement. Bill Meyer, the supervisor of the project for California-based Kasler Corp, said the specifications lowered the “flexural strength” requirements for two runways from 750 pounds per square inch to as little as pounds per square inch. 595 George Bonna, who was ap pointed chief of the airport’s plan ning and engineering section last fall, said the weaker concrete isn’t unsafe, but it will wear faster and cost more for maintenance. Tom Graves, director of the FAA’s Southwest region standards office, said the FAA has calculated that the airport staff failed to impose $3.3 million in substandard concrete penalties. He said the FAA would be eligible for a $2.47 million refund from the airport because the agency paid 75 percent of the paving costs. By Olivier Uyttebrouck Staff Writer The Memorial Student Center Council made preliminary plans Monday for administering the Jor dan Institute endowment. The council approved the cre ation of an ad hoc committee whose members are to be selected from sev eral MSC committees by the MSC executive committee. The ad hoc committee will establish guidelines for use of the $ 1 million endow ment. The suggestions made by the ad hoc committee will be screened by the MSC executive committee and presented to the council at its June 28 meeting. The recommendation originally put before the council would have placed the Jordan Institute under the auspices of the International Programs Committee, whose lead ership is in doubt despite five at tempts to nominate a chairman. According to the original sugges tion, the “IPC could accept propo sals for funds from other MSC com mittees presenting programs of international scope” as well as use the funds for its own purposes. But several council members ex pressed concern over past lead ership problems in the committee and said it could create a conflict of interest since the IPC would both al locate and use the funds. But MSC Director Jim Reynolds said allowing the committee to serve both functions could “kill two birds with one stone” — attract stronger leaders to the IPC and put the Jor dan Institute to work. “I don’t think it’s above an MSC committee to both use and dispose of funds,” Reynolds said. The council also approved a num ber of speakers proposed by Great Issues and Political Forum for the fall/including Sen. Phil Gramm, Lee lacocca and Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Political Forum also announced that “Biotechnology and Medical Ethics” would be the topic for the E.L. Miller Lecture Series.
