Dr. Joseph G. 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

never gave up," he said. "I believe

"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.

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

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.
