Mintz says the Arab countries did
not establish a Palestinian homeland
because they still were dreaming of
conquering Israel and getting Israel
back.
E^ypt and Jordan lost land to Is
rael in 1967 after the Six-Day War.
The Israeli Labor Party offered to
give back the land in exchange for
peace, but only Egypt took advan
tage of the offer.
The Gaza Strip, which includes
the Sinai Desert, tourist attractions
and oil, was returned following the
Camp David Accord of 1977.
Egyptian President Anwar Saddat
was assassinated by members of the
Egyptian military because of this
deal.
Mintz says more Israelis now
think Israel needs the West Bank to
War.

president,” Cheney said.
“Do not go forward with this esca
lation,” implored Rep. Ron Dellums,
D-Calif. “Every single feeling I have
in my body is frightening, ominous
and foreboding. That to go forward
with escalation may very well mean a
cost in human terms that stagger the
imagination.”
Rep. Larry Hopkins, R-Ky., said
“patience has been a great reward
for us up until now,” and he urged
Cheney “not to ask America’s chil
dren to walk across the sand.”
Cheney said, “We did everything
we could to avoid war,” giving Sad
dam five months to withdraw from
Kuwait.
“We believe that it’s far better and
in the end it will be far less cosdy for
the United States and our allies to
deal with the threat that Saddam
Hussein represents now than to wait
five or six or 10 years when he had
nuclear weapons, weapons of mass
destruction,” Cheney said.
“We are well aware of the respon
sibility we bear for the conduct of
the conflict,” the secretary added. “I
know that it weighs very heavily on
the mind of the president, certainly
on General Powell and myself.”
In Saudi Arabia, the commander
of British forces in the gulf, Lt. Gen.
Peter de la Billiere, said, “I believe
the land war is inevitable.” But Ma
rine Brig. Gen. Richard Neal, a U.S.
command spokesman, said, “I don’t
think I would attach the word ‘inevi
table’ to it.”
In Paris, French President Fran
cois Mitterrand said a ground war
“promises to take place in coming
days, in any case sometime this
month.”
Bush called Syrian President Ha
fez Assad on Wednesday and Aus
tralian Prime Minister Bob Hawke
on Thursday to discuss the war.

through Jordan.
In fact, Iraqi and Syrian military
threats concern Israeli citizens more
than the Palestinians, he added. Pal
estine is not a security threat to Is
rael’s existence, but powerful Arab
nations are, Mintz says.
“No Arab country, except Egypt,
has signed a peace treaty with Is
rael,” Mintz says. “No Arab country
has recognized the state of Israel.”
By doing all it could to keep Israel
out of the conflict, including the
shipment of Patriot missiles to Israel,
the Bush administration actually has
gained considerable credibility
among many Israelis, Mintz says.
The American action was per
ceived as not trying to keep them out
of the coalition but as defending the
Jewish state.
“More Israelis now believe the
United States will sincerely try to as
sure their security,” Mintz says.
“There is more trust by Israelis in
the intentions of the Bush adminis
tration than there was before the
Israeli Parliament and Arabs art
mayors in some Israeli cities.
“For any solution to be accepted
by all sides of the conflict — the
Arab countries, Palestinians and Is
raelis — the solution should focus on
more than just the Palestinian issue,
but also on the Arab-Israel conflict,”
Mintz says.

still live in Israel on good terms,

teachers’ salaries, he said.
“We want every school in the state
to provide the best education it can,”
he said.
Hobby said that not only would
constituents not approve of cutting
education funds, tney would equally
disapprove of cuts in human serv
ices, transportation and criminal jus
tice.
No one wants to shut down hospi
tals, stop highway maintenance or let
criminals go free to increase reve
nue, he said.
Hobby said he does not agree with
establishing a state lottery instead of
an income tax.
“I don’t understand why it is good
public policy to have a monopoly on
something that is now a felony,” he
said.
Hobby said he hopes that with a
state income tax, there will be a re
duction in the sales tax, which he
says already is high.

mittee On Multicultural Awareness
(COMA) says the student group is
planning activities for every
Wednesday in February.
COMA’s 10 members are resident
directors, resident advisers and
deskworkers.
“Our primary purpose is to create
cultural awareness among resident
hall students and A&M as a whole,”
says Pam Osby, a committe member.
Osei says the group’s activities are
open to all AocM students but are fo
cused toward resident hall students.
“We are targeting resident hall
students, to get them out, and to ex
pose them to other cultures,” she
says.
Voices of Praise began the
month’s events by performing
Wednesday in the Commons lobby.
Other activities planned for Feb
ruary include:
• Free showing of the movie “G-
lory” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13 in Rudder
Auditorium.
• Step Show, a dance presenta
tion by sorority and fraternity mem
bers, at 7 p.m. Feb. 20 in the Com
mons lobby. '
• “A Celebration of Black History
... Remembering Our Roots,” CO
MA’s main program, at 7:30 p.m.
Feb. 27 in 201 MSC.
Other presentations for Black
History Month include perfor
mances by C.P. Time Players, Voices
of praise and Classic Dance Ensem
ble of Prairie View.
Dr. Julius Becton, Prairie View
A&M University president, also will
speak during Black History Month.
Osei says all programs are open to
the public.
“We are inviting students to come,
as well as University members and
Bryan-College Station residents,”
she says.
economies.
“NATO is an instrument, not a
policy goal,” Cooney said. “It is only
half of the solution. The other half is
the economic stability of European
nations.”
Cooney, who spent several years
living in the United Kingdom and
has worked closely with the EC for
about two years, said the EC ‘92 is a
good policy and the United States
should not oppose it.
In respect to the military and po
litical side of the issue, the EC’s abil
ity to deal with economic problems
has played a large part in the peace
ful rollback of communism in East
ern Europe, he said.
Cooney said this is due to a trend
where forces and events shaping Eu
ropean economics have led to the
overcome of political and military
stalemate.
Cooney said the United States
needs a successful EC as much as Eu
rope, largely because the 12 nations
that comprise the economic union
are America’s largest market.
“The economic union has paid off
for the U.S. so far,” Cooney said. “It
has encouraged heavy new indus
trial investment, which should con
tinue through 1993.”
Cooney said this success is due in
part to EC directives already en
acted, a fact many people unfamiliar
with the economic union overlook.
“The date 1992 was mainly in-
weai
vented to sell the union to theave
age man,” Cooney said. “Directs
are going into effect all the tiro
some going into effect now, son
not to be enacted until ’92 or’!
Cooney said the EC’s continui:
policies have become more expi
sive as the union has evolved
political and possibly military orgi
nization.
“The narrow framework of tl
original EC’s driving force has bet
expanded,” Cooney said. “But
main goal is still to break downtl
trade barriers between Europet
nations.”
These barriers have been
ened but still exist, if only in diffe
ent forms, he said. He said thatint

The drive for a single central ban
and currency, as well as the move

posed problems.
The drive for new membersk
also has been controversial, an
Cooney said no simple solutions ae
available, but the union’s progre
and achievements to date are signif
cant.
“One thing is certain,” Coone
said. “Dealing with the EC asofjai

Systems.
Continued from page’
A&M’s System is organized and well-planned,
ha
“We had a goal for growth of the System,” McKenzie said. “I don’t
think any of the schools should be taken out, but I agree it’s large
enough now and would resist expanding it.”
During McKenzie’s term as chairman, Corpus Christi State Univer
sity, Texas A&I University and Laredo State University also joined the
A&M System.
But McKenzie might not have the chairmanship much longer. The
Houston Post reported earlier this week that Gov. Ann Richards
wanted Regent Ross Margraves to succeed McKenzie as chairman when
his term runs out in two years.
Margraves confirmed Wednesday that he wanted the position.
Dr. Edward Hiler, A&M’s interim chancellor, said recent aquisi-
tions, some predominantly Hispanic, only strenthen the A&M System.
The A&M System is in line for minority scholarships and funds to
create new doctoral programs because of its involvement with South
Texas schools, Hiler said.
Roger Elliott, assistant commissioner of the Higher Education
Coordinating Board, said the Legislature will handle any growth regu
lation of the A&M System.
The Coordinating Board only makes recommendations to the Leg
islature, he said.
One recommendation concerns the eventual merging of all Texas
universities into one of the two major systems, Elliott said.
Hiler said he doubts the Legislature will take action on the Coordi
nating Board’s proposals.
“I do not think there will be a continuous expansion, but not for
their reasons,” Hiler said.
“I’m not saying the system of higher education in the state is the best
it can be, but I don’t think we’ll start over from scratch,” he said.
Jenkins maintained something must be done to prevent small uni
versities not in a major system from panicking over loss of state funds.
“If we don’t do something, everyone will be stampeding to the gate
to be part of the system, and what then?” Jenkins asked.
