    Arafat
Continued from Page 1
Arafat was last in the West
Bank after the 1967 Middle East
war, when he organized a cam
paign of bomb attacks against
Israel’s occupation before fleeing
into exile.
Arafat wore a military uni
form Tuesday, and walked on a
red carpet as a bagpipe band
played the Palestinian anthem.
He then chaired the first meet
ing of his Cabinet with only 14
of the 19 ministers present.
One hand on a Bible and the
other on a Koran, Arafat took
the oath of office as the head of
the civilian self-rule govern
ment, swearing to “do my duty
faithfully and honestly, so help
me God.”
The Cabinet is made up of
businessmen and politicians. It
included one Christian, Tourism
Minister Elias Freij of Bethle
hem, and one woman. Labor and
Social Welfare Minister Intissar
al-Wazir. A rabbi, Moshe Hirsch
of the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta
sect, also took an advisory post
on Jewish affairs.
It was a day of symbolism.
Arafat flew from Gaza, over
Tel Aviv and then to the West
Bank after passing along the
northern edge of Jerusalem —
the city both Palestinians and
Israelis claim as their capital.
Shaath said Arafat was in a
“mood of nostalgia, a pensive
mood” on the helicopter trip.
Jericho is also a symbol of the
territory Arafat seeks to add to
his autonomy enclave. Jericho
and Gaza together constitute
only 150 square miles, an area
about the size of Manhattan. The
West Bank is eight times as big.
Shaath said Arafat was de
lighted with his return visit.
“He’s been in one of the most
positive moods I’ve ever seen
him in,” he said.
Even so, many Palestinians
were waiting to see what
Arafat would do about jobs and
housing.
Others complained the self-
rule was too limited because Is
rael still controls borders, water
and electricity.

proper management, needle ex
change programs can work in
Texas.
“Most of the studies we have
on these programs tell us that
they are very, very effective in
reducing the spread of HIV,” he
said. “I don’t think it will be
that long before we see one here
in Texas. There is just too much
information coming out now that
says these are good programs
and that they do a lot.”

Funds
Continued from Page 1
Dr. J. Southerland, vice president for student affairs and one of
the employees charged with record tampering, said he was
pleased with Brown’s actions.
“It is an expression of support from the University and the
community at large that there is a problem,” he said.
Dr. John Hoyle, a professor of educational administration, said
he thinks the fund is a good idea.
“Anytime you have people for whom you have great respect, I
think it is a good idea to step in and help them out,” he said.
Hoyle said he has not decided whether or not he will contribute
to the fund.
The Houston Post reported last week that members of the
Board of Regents were also organizing a fund to help pay for the
legal fees of two Board secretaries indicted on felony charges of
record tampering.
Bill Clayton, a member of the Board of Regents, said the group
cannot legally pool money for the two secretaries.
Clayton said he expects a fund to be started locally on behalf of
the women. He also said he would be willing to contribute to such
a fund.
at the University of Texas Ad
dictive Behavior Services in
Houston, said people are going
to use drugs regardless of what
anyone tells them. And if
they’re going to use drugs, Acca
pidi said he would like them to
be safe and not spread HIV.
“If they’re not going to get
needles from me, then they’re
going to get them from some
where else, and they may not be
clean,” he said. “If we provide
them with needles, we’re not
saying ‘use drugs,’ we’re just
saying ‘use clean needles.’”
If cities and states want to
stop the spread of HIV, he said,
health officials must turn to new
methods, such as syringe ex
change programs. As it is, he
said, the number of HIV/AIDS
cases in Houston is rising.
“AIDS is a big issue. Drugs is
another one,” he said. “If they
want to stop both of them, cities
are going to have to implement
new procedures.”
