Arrests seen as setbad
but insurgency continue
MANILA (AP) — Communist re
bels suffered a major setback with
the recent arrest of their top leaders,
but military officials and analysts say
the insurgents are far from beaten.
Through their 19-year rebellion,
the guerrillas have demonstrated re
markable resilience. Despite harsh
crackdowns, their influence has
spread from the countryside to ur
ban centers, attacks have stepped up
and captured leaders have been re
placed immediately.
President Corazon Aquino, who
has vowed to crush the insurgency
before her term expires in 1992,
hailed last Tuesday’s arrests of the
New People’s Army commander and
the Communist Party’s No. 2 man as
the beginning of the end.
“It clearly demonstrates that we
Analysis
have turned the tide and are win
ning the war against the Communist
insurgency,” she said.
But military officials and others
say the president may have spoken
too soon, although they acknowl
edge that the arrests were a big blow
to the 25,000-strong guerrilla army.
Brig. Gen. Rodolfo Biazon, Ma
nila area commander, said the ar
rests will disturb some guerrilla pro
grams, but that may not be enough.
“To say that this means the defeat
of the Communist movement may
not entirely be correct beam I
arc fighting an idea, andthtjI
still there,” Biazon said.

U.S. officials report
Lebanon becoming
major heroin supplier
WASHINGTON (AP) — Leb
anon, long known as a supplier of
hashish, has become one of the
world’s big heroin centers in the past
few years as its economy and central
government have collapsed, U.S. of
ficials said.
“Almost all the militias are in
volved in some way in the trafficking
of drugs,” one intelligence official
said.
Several officials — from the CIA,
the Drug Enforcement Agency and
the State Department — agreed to
provide an overview of the drug sit
uation in Lebanon on the condition
that their names not be used.
Lebanon’s role in the world’s drug
trade is discussed in the State De
partment’s March report on narcot
ics.
“Lebanon is reportedly the
world’s major producer of hashish,
as well as a key processing
Made
and tran
sit point for heroin,” the department
said in its report, called “Interna
tional Narcotics Control Strategy Re
port.”
Although Lebanon has yet to ap
proach countries like Colombia, Pa
kistan and Mexico in the volume of
its drug trade, officials said the situa
tion is worrisome because the United
States has virtually no influence in
the country. Most of the influence is
controlled by Christian, Druze and
Moslem factions.
The United States has few statis
tics about Lebanon’s drug trade, hut
it reportedly is a more than $200
million-a-year business. The Chris
tians have long dominated the coun
try’s drug business, but other sec ts
have moved into the business.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY
Since the passing of the student referen
dum for a new student recreational facilty last
spring, the TAMU IM-Rec Sports Department has
been working hard on the project. Currently a
needs assessment is being conducted on a strati
fied random sample of students to determine
what the new facility should contain. The results
of this survey will be used to help justify the
building to the Board of Regents and Texas
Legislature. It will also help in the design phase of
the facility by giving an indication of where the
interests of the students lie.
