DALLAS (AP) — Egyptian Presi
dent Hosni Mubarak’s first venture
into the U.S. heartland was designed
to drum up business investment in
his country, but on the way he
touched a personal chord with those
concerned about violence in the
Middle East.
Awaiting the arrival of Mubarak
at Dallas Love Field, Amin Elgendy,
a senior systems engineer with Elec
tronic Data Systems, said, “I feel like
he’s come to see me.”
For Rabbi Neil Sandler of Dallas,
Mubarak’s visit Saturday took on a
special meaning as he shook hands
with the president at a City Hall re
ception.
“Ten years ago it would have been
unheard of for a rabbi to shake
hands with the president of Egypt,”
he said. “We have traveled a long
way.”
Sandler said he also pondered the
significance of Mubarak’s visit on the
day that Jews celebrated the planting
of trees in Israel. The celebration
signifies the importance of provid
ing for future generations.
Sandler said he was not familiar
with the details of Mubarak’s peace
initiative, but added, “Anyone that is
doing any kind of creative thinking
deserves to be listened |p.”
Mubarak wound up his five-day
visit to the United States, high
lighted by talks with President Rea-
f an and Secretary of State George
hultz, with a stop in Dallas, his first
visit to a U.S. city besides Washing
ton, D.C., and New York.
While in Dallas, Mubarak met.
with several executives of U.S. busi
ness and addressed a luncheon
crowd of about 700.
George Aldridge, a North Texas
State University professor and Re
gion 6 executive director of the Na
tional Association of Arab Ameri
cans, was impressed with Mubarak.
“He spoke with such impassioned
tones,” Aldridge said.
Aldridge said Mubarak is frus
trated with Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Shamir, who Mubarak de
scribed as the major obstacle in es
tablishing an international peace
conference.
Since December, violence has
erupted off and on between Israeli
soldiers and Palestinians in the occu-
pited Gaza Strip and West Bank.
The fighting has left at least 38 Ar
abs dead.
“Mubarak was stressing that if a
moderate comes to power in Israel.”
Aldridge said. “The Arabs are will
ing to cut a deal.” Aldridge said the
Arab countries want to endik
lence so they can go about lie
ness of developing their ecoi*
further.
But others were not
the president’s visit. Ali Alim
Houston was one of about 5l)i
onstrators who protestedouli
hotel as Mubarak deliveredtiii
ments.
He said Mubarak shouldtl
with Israel, and that the Eji]
president was selling out the
tinians.
In a short question-and-H
session following his speech, It
rak was asked how to resold
problems in the Middle East
urged a new cooperation
Arabs and Israelis.
“Let us sit and work in
faith,” he said. ‘‘Let us trust
other.”

ARLINGTON (AP) — It has been
a difficult year for the families of 63
children who were told last fall they
would have to pay for what is consid
ered a basic American right: free
public school education.
The fight Over the district policy,
which has not yet been enforced, was
to be considered Monday by the
Texas Education Agency.
The policy applies to children of
foreign students at the University of
Texas-Arlington with F-l visas, like '
Muhammad Islam, who was told
when he went to Swift Elementary to
enroll his children in school last year
that his sons could not attend classes
unless he paid $4,680 in tuition.
School officials say the issue is res
idency. In the F-l classification, stu
dents intend to return to their coun
tries and therefore are not residents,
the district says.
“The policy makes budgetary
sense,” school Superintendent Don
ald Wright said. “The cost impact (of
paying for the students) for the dis
trict was $189,000 this year and
$300,000 for the year before.”
But Islam counters that foreign
students pay property taxes through
rent and also pay sales taxes.
But money is not the real issue, he
said.
The families have said they feel
like targets of discrimination.
“Illegal aliens have the right to a
free education so I don’t really un
derstand the discrimination against
legal aliens,” Islam said.
Some of the graduate students
said they would never have come to
Texas if they had known of the pol
icy because they couldn’t afford the
tuition for their children.
“No way, I cannot pay,” said
Seong Moo Yoo, 39, whose three
children attend South Davis Elemen
tary School. Yoo, a UTA graduate
student seeking his master’s degree
in computer science, said: “I have to
bring money from my family in Ko
rea to survive, but this would be too
much.”
In December, a federal district
judge dismissed an earlier ruling in
the school district’s favor, saying the
TEA has jurisdiction.
A final decision on the matter
could take three months.
