Dawson, director of Texas A&M University's Mili tary Studies Institute which spon sored Ziemke's speech, said the tradeoff decision could have back fired. "It was a huge risk," he said. "Their policy could have fallen apart if Iran had fallen in 1975." Iran was a U.S. ally until the pro-U.S. government fell in 1979 to Muslim fundamentalists who considered the United States an imperialist threat. Ziemke said conflicts with Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the late 1970s forced the United States to take a more active role in the world. "We had a bunch of American hostages in Tehran, and we couldn't do a thing about it," she said. "And Afghanistan indicated that Soviet strategy was becoming aggressive and expansionist, pos sibly because they thought of the U.S. as not capable of responding to that threat." Ziemke said the new U.S. in volvement in the world led to the United States leading the United Nation's actions against Iraq dur ing the Gulf War. "The military in the 1970s took a series of calculated risks that re ally paid off in the Gulf War," she said. Holocaust Continued from Page 1 never gave up," he said. "I believe up there was looking "I don't preach hate," he said. "I'm not bitter either. I'm here to make sure it doesn't happen again. We must stop racism, anti semitism and bigotry. We must never let this happen again. It's beautiful to be free." When the war ended, Jacobs was 20-years-old and weighed 70 pounds. Jacobs stressed the importance of making people aware of the Holocaust. "We have to educate about somebody after me." what can happen when we get silent and complacent," he said. "We have to tell what people can do to each other. We need to edu cate people on the beauty of free dom. "I want people to know what I went through and thousands like me," he said. "I want my children and my children's children to be free and live in a beautiful coun try." Jacobs lost his family during the Holocaust. In the 1970s, he and his children returned to many Holocaust sites to show them his past. Josef Elchanan, coordinator of the event, said the situation in Bosnia shows that people have forgotten the Holocaust and failed to learn from it. "It shows that people are going to always do this to minority groups," he said. Elchanan is a junior business administration major and member of the Corps of Cadets. "From Death to Life: An Inter denominational Liturgical Reflec tion on the Holocaust," was spon sored by the Episcopal Student Center, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Hillel Jewish Student Center, St. Mary's Catholic Student Center, the Uni versity Lutheran Chapel and the Wesley Methodist Foundation. Students from the groups are continuing a 10-year-old tradition of reading the names of those killed in the Holocaust all day Monday at Rudder Fountain. Embryology Continued from Page 1 known to be responsible for the formation of the embryo," Badawi said. Before 1775, Badawi said there were many "preformation theories" explaining the formation of the embryo with references only to the ovum or only to the sperm. In the next verse, Sura 23:14 - "Then We made the drop into a (alaca) leech-like structure. The word "alaca" describes the human embryo, Badawi said. According to Moore's article, "This is an appropriate description of the human embryo from days seven to 24, when it clings to the endometrium of the uterus, in the same way that a leech clings to the skin." Badawi limited his discussion and use of scientific examples to the Koran because he said it would take too much time to cover both the Bible and Koran. The lecture was presented by the Islamic community of Bryan/College Station and the Muslim Student Association. Badawi is also a professor at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Canada and chairman of the Islamic Information Foundation. He has participated in more than 300 lectures world-wide and has participated in numerous debates, dialogues and panel discussions with Christian and Judaic scholars. Muster Continued from Page 2 past to a day set aside to honor fallen heroes. Today's Muster ceremony con sists of poetry readings, a speaker and "Roll Call for the Absent," during which the deceased's name is read, a candle is lit, and a friend or family member answers "here," signifying that although the person is no longer here in body, they remain in spirit. The roll call represents A&M's motto, "Once an Aggie, always an Ag gie." Texas A&M President Dr. William Mobley called Muster one of the most meaningful of A&M's traditions and cere monies. He said the ceremony is sym bolic of the unity among students and former students and is a moving way to remember Aggies who have passed away. "The fact that there are Muster ceremonies all over the world is a tribute to the bonding among Ag gies," he said. Next year's student body pres ident Brian Walker said the cere mony is one of the things that separates A&M from other uni versities. "We're like a big family and it gives us a chance to get together and remember old times," he said. "It gives me chills whenever I see it." This year's Muster, which cele brates the 50th anniversary of the Class of '43, will have a special visitor - former President George Bush. Bush will attend Muster as a participant, but will not have a special role in the event. Questions as to whether his appearance will be a distraction and disrupt the ceremony were laid to rest by University adminis trators. "The president understands and knows what the situation is," said Dr. John Koldus, vice presi dent for student services. "It's a nice touch and will be handled i appropriately." Mobley said Bush's appear ance will not interrupt the cere mony at all. "We're honored to have him attend," he said. "It's an honor he's interested in A&M and wants to come as a participant," he said. Mobley commended the efforts of the Muster committee in help ing bring about what he called "one of A&M's greatest tradi tions." Muster activities begin this year with a barbecue Wednesday at 11 a.m. in the Academic Plaza. Tickets can be purchased for $5 with Aggie Bucks, but only meal plans and cash will be accepted on site. The Muster ceremony will fea ture keynote Jack Fritz, the origi nator of the candle lighting cere mony and past president of the Association of Former Students. Muster will begin Wednesday at 7 p.m. in G. Rollie White Colise um. Take part in a Texas A&M tradition!
