In Ramallah, under Israeli control since Friday,
dozens of European peace activists, their arms
raised and holding white flags, marched past
bewildered Israeli soldiers into Yasser Arafat’s
office to protest the confinement of the Palestinian
leader by Israel. The protesters said they would
stay with Arafat, who has accused Israel of trying
to kill him, human shields.
Earlier in the day, Israeli forces surrounding the
building exchanged fire with Arafat’s guards, and
Palestinian officials said Arafat was just a few
yards from the fighting. Several guards were
wounded, two of them seriously. At least 13
Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers have been
killed in Ramallah since Friday.

Robert Gates, former head of
the Bush School and former
director of the CIA, is scheduled
to visit today.
Two more candidates who
remain unidentified are also in
the running Regent officials
said. The A&M System Board
of Regents will announce the
new president in June, when
President Dr. Ray M. Bowen
will step down.
Whitmore earned his bach
elor’s of arts and master’s in
speech and theater from
Washington State University.
While at the University of
Texas, he said he helped in a
$31 million fund raising effort
for the liberal arts program
and would be comfortable
with the role of a fundraiser
that a president must play,
since fine arts departments
rely on private funds.
According to search commit
tee chair Dr. John Junkins,
Whitmore has grown up in aca
demics and demonstrated a
strong career.
“He has made his mark
everywhere and has many out
standing accomplishments,”
Junkins said.
One other goal Whitmore said
he has would be to increase the
diversity of the University so that
the student body, faculty and
staff reflect the Texas population.
During his three-day visit to
Texas A&M, Whitmore said he
has experienced excellence in
the classroom as well as athletic
programs.
“This is a University full of
energy, vitality and hope for the
future,” he said.
