FBI May Report on PossibleTampering With Clinton's Passport

THE IFASIIINGTON POST

WASHINGTON

The Bush administration Monday refused to clarify reports that itis investigating possible tampering with the passport records ofDemocratic candidate Bill Clinton, but fueled partisan suspicions ofskullduggery by suggesting that the FBI might eventually report onthe matter.

State Department spokesman Richard Boucher was bombardedwith questions at his daily briefing about a report by Newsweek mag-azine that the FBI had been called to investigate after StateDepartment officials who retrieved Clinton's passport file found "fhatseveral pages appeared to be ripped out."

In fact, the FBI had no comment, a spokesman said. The Bureaualso refused to confirm that it was involved in an investigation ofClinton's passport file.

The official statements prompted a wide range of partisan specula-tion among both Democrats and Republicans, who variously suggest-ed that Democrats may have sought to cover up potentially damaginginformation in Clinton's record, that Republicans may have removedsuch information in order to leak it to the press, or that reports of theFBI's involvement may have been intended to cast a shadow on oneside or another.

Administration officials said the State Department and FBI state-ments Monday were meant to signal a degree of uncertainty about thecase. One official said it is now up to the FBI to decide "whetherthere is anything to look into." Another source suggested the Bureauhoped to come to a decision on the matter as quickly as possible.

Kuwait Eled.Q ParliamentTHE WA S1IING TON POST

WASHINGTON

Thc Supreme Court Monday opened its 1992-93 term byannouncing it will review the Bush administration's policy offorcibly repatriating Haitians picked up at sea and by accepting twocases that could further refine the constitutional separation of churchand state.

The court's acceptance of the Haitian case, among more than1,400 new appeals pending, was a priority for the administrationwhose policy on Haiti has been in dispute since an appeals courtruled in July that summarily repatriating Haitians violates federallaw.

The church-state cases reflect the federal courts' constant strugglewith how states can ensure they do not establish or endorse a religion,yet avoid unconstitutionally discriminating against religious speechor practice. In one case, a New York school district denied a groupaccess to its facilities because of the religious content of a plannedfilm series. In the other, an Arizona school district forbade a deafhigh school student a state-financed interpreter because he attended aRoman Catholic school.

Overall, the court accepted 22 cases for review. Combined withthe 65 cases that were carried over from last term, the court now hasa docket of 87 cases.

KUWAIT CITY

Kuwait's all-male electorate voted Monday for a 50-man NationalAssembly that is expected to demand an increased role in decision-making with the ruling Sabah family.

The election,.the first held since Kuwait's 1991 liberation fromIraqi occupation, went off smoothly in neighborhood schools fes-tooned with campaign posters and surrounded by stands servingdrinks and snacks from rival candidates.

Climaxing the most enthusiastic campaign the country has seen,the election meets a public demand for restoration of the parliament,which was suspended by the ruling emir, Sheik Jabir Ahmed Sabah,in 1986. Many Kuwaitis, particularly young ones who stayed hereduring Iraq's seven-month occupation, have said they want the newparliament to be a strong body, but expect the ruling family to resistthis.

Candidate Abdul Aziz Mahkkled, a middlc-aged man with weath-cr-worn skin and an easy smile, shook his head slowly when asked ifhe thought the ruling family would work well with the new parlia-ment. ;;There will be confrontation because the government wants tocontrol everything," lie said. "The only way to change that is con-frontation."

"More Kuwaitis are taking their responsibility to politics and thefuture of Kuwait seriously," said Meg Thompson, head of an observ-er delegation from the Washington-based International RepublicanInstitute, an organization that promotes democratic development.

ger were killed.The scale of the disaster has

rocked the Netherlands, dominatingconversation and news coverage inthe small country of 15 million peo-ple. "It's the largest catastrophe inthe postwar history of theNetherlands _ a very shocking expe-ricnce for all of us," a somberAmsterdam Mayor Ed van Thijntold reporters Monday morning.

Witnesses described a nightmar-ish scene in which a pleasantSunday evening was suddenly trans-formcd into a conflagration after theplane crash, with some screamingresidents hurling themsclves frombalconies to escape the flames whileothers ran into the yard with theirclothes on fire.

Stetea, a stocky energy plantworker with his long black hair in aponytail, said he had been walkingnearby with friends when, with atremendous roar, the jet screamedinto the apartment complex andexploded against a high-rise.- Stetca ran back to his apartment

in the adjacent building and, break-ing down a blocked door, helped hiswife and young son to safety. But hesaid when he turned back to go upto his mother's apartment, the firehad spread too far.

"I screamed 'Get out, get out.' Iwanted to save them but it was toolate," he said quietly. "I couldn't doanything. You could see only thefire and the people crying. I criedbecause I couldn't do anything."

Authorities have been able toprovide anxious residents with littleinformation. "I've called to see whathappened but I don't get ananswer," Stetca said.

Many residents are still search-ing desperately for unaccounted-forfriends and relatives.

The grimy work ing classBijimermeer housing estate nearDuivendrecht into which the plane

crashed has a large population ofAfrican and Caribbean immigrants.The neighborhood includes manyillegal aliens, police say, adding tothe difficulty of counting victims.

Police are painstakingly trying toconfirm how many people were ineach apartment.

Officials say the amount of rub-ble means that salvage operationsmay take days, with firefighters pro-ceeding carefully out of concern forfurther collapse.

"It may be 60 feet deep," a ffiredepartment official said afterinspecting the rubble Monday morn-ing.

One measure of the lethality ofthe accident is the rclatively lownumber of injured. The AcademicMedical Center, a major hospital afew miles fromn the site, quicklycleared 1 60 beds after receivingword of the crash, but received only27 injured, with a handful moregoing to other area hospitals. "Itwas unexpectedly low," said Frankvan Denbosch, a hospitalspokesman. "A lot of peoplc proba-bly just didn't have a chance toescape."

Monday afternoon, the Dutchmonarch, Quecn Beatrix, visited asports center near the accident sitein which survivors are being shel-tered.

Exactly what caused the Bocing747 to lose two engines remains amystery.

A team of investigators from ElAl, arriving at Amsterdam Mondayto begin an inquiry into the acci-dent, visited the site of the crash, ElAl's first since 1951, a spokesmantold the Associated Press.

The Dutch government is con-ducting its own investigation, whiledelegations from the Israeli govern-ment, Boeing, and Pratt- & Whitney,the engine manufacturer, have alsobeen sent.

BUJLMiRMEER, NE1THIERI.ANDS

With a cold wet wind whippingup ashes, Dutch firefighters Mondaydug through a gruesome burialmound of rubble, searching for thebodies of more than 200 peoplefeared killed Sunday evening whenan Israeli cargo jet crashed into acrowded apartment complex in thissuburb of Amsterdam.

A nine-story section of an apart-ment building, home until Sunday tosome 250 people, lay in completeruin, pulverized by the El Al Boeing747, which crashed after two of itsengines fell off. Two adjoining por-tions were badly damaged, withsmall fires still erupting today frombehind scorched windows.

It was the second time in a yearboth engines have ripped from thewing of a Boeing 747-200 andBoeing Monday told airlines toillspect their planes.

From a vantage point across thecanal, Romens Stetea, 27, stared atthe salvage operation. He pointed ata smoldering fourth-floor apartmentfrom which he had rescued his wifeand child. Then he gestured atanother blackened hole on the ninthfloor, where his mother, brother andnephew lived. Nothing had beenheard from them since the accidentand Stetea feared the worst.

"I'm here to see what's hap-pened to my family," he said.

By nightfall only 14 bodies hadbeen recovered from the crash site.But city officials said Mondayevening that at least 250 are fearedto be missing, up from the 209 theyreported early this morning.

If the casualty toll is that high,the crash, whose cause is underinvestigation, would be the worst airdisaster ever in numbers of victimsoutside the plane. In addition, allthree crew members and a passen-

debates will be held in St. Louis nextSunday. A panel of journalists willpose questions to the candidates.

The personal attacks by Bushand other Republicans in this cam-paign, however, have been aimedmainly at Clinton, not Perot. AndBush, signaling that he considerscharacter Clinton's most vulnerablespot, has left no doubt that he willdo what he can to exploit the issueduring the debates.

An accreditation group for thebipartisan, 10-member Commissionon Presidential Debates worked intothe night Monday preparing its rec-ommendation on inviting Perot. "Ithink you're safe in saying Perotwill be invited," a commissionsource said.

Bush and Clinton have said theywould welcome Perot to thedebates. Republicans have beenespecially eager to have him takepart, hoping that might change thedynamics of a race that has seen

Bush lag far behind Clinton formonths.

Bush has tried to undermineClinton's credibility, with scathingattacks on his experimentation withmarijuana in college and the effortsmade to keep him out of theVietnam War.

But an attempt by Perot to keepthe debate away from the characterissue and focused on the economycould pose a major barrier forBush's strategy. Perot says charac-ter questions are not relevant and he"will not play the game."

He will deal with such questions"as gracefully as possible," he said,but will try to make the debates con-centrate "on jobs, the deficit and theeconomy."

With the national debt at $4 tril-lion and the federal budget deficit atalmost $400 billion, Perot said, "thecountry is on a collision course onthe economy and if it happens, itwill take several decades to put the

economy back on track."In the interview with The Times,

Perot also said he's not worriedabout his poor showing in the polls,about being regarded as a possiblespoiler or about the possibility offinishing a poor third in the presi-dential race.

"I'm not worried about gettingbeat up in the process of trying toforce attention on the economicissues," he said, "It's irrelevant.Anybody who knows me knows thatit would take me about l12 hours to,get over it, dust myself off, and geton with my business."

In an earlier interview, Perot'sformer chief economnic adviser, JohnP. White, who defccted to theClinton campaign, told The Timeshe had advised Perot not to enter therace, that he had no chance of win-ning and it would only hurt his cred-ibility.

Asked to comment, Perot said,"Everybody's entitled to his opinion

and I appreciate John would be con-cerned. My credibility is not impor-tant here. I don't worry aboutimage. The point is 5 million peoplesigned petitions and got me on theballots of all 50 states and pressedme to do this (enter the race)."

Dismissing suggestions he maybe a spoiler, draining off enoughvotes from one candidate to help theother win, Perot said, "It wasalready spoiled by both partieswhen I stepped in. My role is toclean up after a big, wild party."

Perot said he thought he alreadyhad had a positive impact on thepresidential race by forcing Bushand Clinton to start addressing someof the economic issues.

"Both are now exposing them-selves to the people in a way theynever did before and that's healthy,"he said; "Would you have everthought you would see PresidentBush on a radio talk show. beforethis?"

WASHINGTON

Independent presidential candi-date Ross Perot is expected to beinvited Tuesday to join PresidentBush and Arkansas Gov. BillClinton in three nationally televiseddebates, and Perot has alreadyvowed to oppose "character assassi-nation" and keep the focus on theeconomy.

Perot, in an interview with theLos Angeles Times, said Mondaythat he would accept the invitationand would try to keep the debatesfocused on economic issues. "Ifthey get into character assassination,I won't participate in that," theTexas billionaire said.

He accused Republicahs of"try-ing to redefine their opponents'character" and of making "a mas-sive effort" to redefine what hasbeen written and said about him.

Wall Street will be watchingWashington closely today as theFederal Reserve's Open MarketCommittee meets to considerwhether to cut interest rates further-Numerous market experts said thatone reason for the stock market'svolatility Monday and its drop onFriday was a fear that recent eco-nomic reports were weak enough toraise serious questions about thepace of the recovery, but not neces-sarily bad enough to cause the Fedto cut interest rates again.

"It is sort of a global phenome-non in that all the markets'aroundthe world are weak and we are notimmune to that," said NewtonZinder, market analyst at ShearsonLehman Brothers Inc. in New York.

But traders said the uncertaintyover who will win the election _ andwhat type of president the front-run-ner, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton,would make was now one of theprimary forces shaping the mood ofthe U.S. market, making it morevulnerable to jolts from abroad andnegative economic news domesti-cally.

commented on the day's events bysaying, "It is-important not to over-react too much to one day's devel-opments. One. of the things that I.would like to say to the markets is:'Relax, calm down, help is on theway.' "

"Wall Street likes the status quo,which is George Bush and gridlock.Nobody knows what Clinton woulddo," said Al Goldman, market ana-lyst with A.G. Edwards & Sons Inc.in St. Louis. "Is he really a moder-ate? Will be he able to control thepassions of spend-and-tax liberals?The reality is we don't know whatwill happen and that is the type ofuncertainty nobody likes."

Their accounts describe a hellishgulag archipelago across Serb-heldBosnia territory where beatings, tor-ture and execution have been dailyoccurrences. Although their storiescould not be independently verified,they provide some of the mostdetailed testimony yet to supportwidespread charges that Serbnationalist forces in Bosnia haveengaged in wholesale atrocitiesagainst camp inmates _ most ofthem men of military age impris-oned to prevent armed resistanceagainst Serb militia forces.

The camps, one former prisonersaid, are places where a Serb guard"will kill you for your wristwatch,"and where prisoners forced to gatherup the dead cannot keep their bal-ance on ground slick with humangore. Since the men arrived here lastweek, the barracks have been thescene of tearful reunions with fami-ly members, but they also haveresounded with the grief-strickencries of relatives who had justlearned that their sons, husbands orfathers did not survive the camps.

One alleged instance of massmurder occured at the Serb-runKeraterm prison camp in northwest-ern Bosnia on the night of July 24,according to a Muslirn locksmithwho said he was in the room thatnight. Just after dark, he said, Serbguards with automatic weapons sys-tematically killed scores of Muslimmen who were locked inside acramped, stifling enclosure knownas Room 3.

Serbs positioned just outside theroom fired burst after burst throughthe thin metal door, as other guardsworking within the room heavedeach prisoner in turn up against theinside of the door. "it was dark.(The guards) were cursing andwalking on us, sitting on (our) headsand strangling anyone who moved,"the locksmith said.

As many as 160 men in the roomndied that night, according to thelocksmith and three other Muslims

who were imprisoned in the adja-cent room. They said another 50prisoners were killed the next morn-ing when a fresh shift of Serbguards entered Room 3 to search forsurvivors. Ten more prisoners dis-appeared and never returned, theysaid, after they were forcedd to loadthe corpses onto a truck and leavethe camp with them.

The killing continued the nextnight against an outside wall, and onmany nights after that, the locksmithsaid. "In the momning, they would

collect the remains in a wheelbar-row _ brains, blood, pieces offlesh."

At both Omarska and Keraterm,up to 400 prisoners were jammedtogether in stifling rooms, and beat-ings were a daily occurrence,released prisoners here said. AtKeraterm, they said, the beatingswere carried out at various timnes bySerb military police, unidentifiedmen dressed in camouflage uni-forms and Serb civilians who camefrom nearby villages to participatein the violence. "They would beatus for about a half-hour, until youstarted to bleed. They gave us bro-ken ribs, broken hands. They werecutting off ears and noses," said a24-year-old man from near the northB~osnian city of Prijedor.

At Omarska, some said, the beat-ings began at lunch, a foul rice dishserved in a building adjacent to theone in which the prisoners wereheld. After being ordered to bolttheir food in two or three minutes,the prisoners said, they were forcedto return to the prison barracksthrough a gantlet of guards who beatthem with thick wooden bats, metalpipes and wire hoses. One guard,they said, a man nicknamed"Prevara," used a mountaineer's axeto bash the prisoners as they passed.

At both Ornarska and Keraterm,Muslim men who had been police'.men were targeted for special abuse,and many were shot dead immedi-

The former prisoner, a slightlybuilt Slavic Muslim plumber withdark bloodshot eyes, would not givehis name, but his face became slickwith sweat as he began talkingabout the 75 days he spent at theSerb-run Omarska detention campin northwestern Bosnia.

"The guards made us go outbehind a small shed where there wasa truck and a bulldozer," he said."We saw the bodies, and then weunderstood everything."

"There were 26 bodies. Somehad half their heads missing; otherswere missing eyes. They told us toput the bodies on the bulldozer, butit was hard to walk; we were step-ping on human brains. Then theytook us to a field and made us pickup two more bodies. When we weredone, the guard cocked his machinegun and said, 'Do you want to benext?'

"We didn't say anything; therewas never any use to say anything.He looked at us, and, as if he wasbeing merciful, he said, 'Okay, gowash.' My jeans were full of blood.I couldn't clean them."

The plumber told his story at themakeshift barracks here where morethan 1,500 former inmates of Serbprison camps in Bosnia are beingheld under U.N. auspices until asy-lum can be found for them. Most of

Column by Mafthew H. HerschOPINION ED)ITOR

dlers that killing, stealing, and lying arewrong.

None of this is likely to happen. The cam-pus is just starting to get back to normal, andpretty soon, people will forget about RauJsteinall together. MIT, in an effort to salvage itsreputation, won't make any more of the prob-iem than it has to. Local Cambridge govern-

ment might create some high-profile tutoringprograms, but lack of resolve and dearth offunds will prevent any larger actions.

The Campus Police, insisting thatRaustein was killed off campus, will do littleto improve security, and will likely spend thenext few years scraping more MIT studentsoff the sidewalk.

The recent assault of MIT students bydemented local high school youths has high-lighted many issues on campus: the patheticstate of security, the deceitful, screw-the-stu-dent mentality of the MIT administration, aswell as tile general decline of Western civi-lization. But the most disturbing aspect of bru1-tal tragedy was the knee-jerk, touchy-feelyliberalismi that hats oozed into every corner ofthis important issue.

Readin- about the postmortem shows ofsolidarity between MIT and tie (Cambridgeizigil school the alleged perpetrators attend,tihe vigils, and the calls for MIT students tobefricild thle youngsters, I was overwhelmned,frankly, by a desire to puke.

Yn-ve Raustein did nothing wrong whenhe walked through the heart of the MIT cami-pus onle evening. He did not provoke assault.His brutal murder cannot be blamed on thelack of extracurricular activities at local highschools, violent TV programs, or the failure ofRaustein and his fellow Techies to tutor areadropouts.

In their drive to arrive at an understandingwith the local teenage community, the orga-nizers of the numerous recent meetingsbetween MIT representatives and high school-ers only serve to cloud the fact that it is theresponsibility of every citizen of this nation torefrain from recreational killing. Blame fortile death of Raustein rests not on some failureof communication between the two campuses,but on the individuals who committed thecrime and the families that raised themn.

It is nice to see that we at MIT are soinnocent and generous in our appraisal ofhuman nature that we can assume the blamefor the deficiencies of society. The yearning tosay "That little brat wouldn't have killed myroommate if I just tried to reach out to him" isoverwhelming. But such feelings only shiftblame to the victims, and cloud the ethicalfoundations on which a stable and just societyis structured.

Our society needs help. It is clear from thestatements of the accused murderers thatmany growing up today either see no risk incriminal behavior or see no innate value inhuman life. Even the flocks of prepubescentgirls who flocked to the sides of the allegedmurders help to reveal the sickness permeat-ing our society. Our efforts to tutor peopic incalculus would be better spent teaching tod-

Daryl Gates, former Los Angelespolice chief, was awarded the IgNobel Peace Prize for his "uniquelycompelling methods of bringingpeople together."Accepting on hisbehalf, Stan Goldberg of theCrimson Tech Camera store said,"Daryl Gates has done more for thevideo camera industry than anyoneelse."

For "54 years of undiscriminat-ing digestion," Spam users wereawarded the prize in nutrition. Dr.Jack S. Meagher of HarvardUniversity accepted the award to thecheer of "Spam, spam, spam,sparn."

Yuri Struchkov, the "unstop-pable author from the Institute ofOrganoelemental Compounds in

Moscow," was awarded the litera-ture prize for his 948 papers pub-lished between 1981 and 1990.During the presentation of theaward, it was announced that therewould be a sign-up sheet outside foranyone wanting to coauthor a futurepaper.

Asking "young children and any-one older" to leave the room,Abrahams presented the art award,the last award of the evening, to JimKnowlton and the NationalEndowment for the Arts. Knowltonwas given the award for his classicalanatomy poster "Penises of theAnimal Kingdom," and the NEAwas cited for "encouraging Mr.Knowlton to extend his work in theform of a pop-up book."

"On behalf of art, on behalf ofscience, and on behalf of the mem-bers of the animal kingdom, I thankyou," said Knowlton as he acceptedthe award.

Three real Nobel Laureates,Professor Jerome 1. Friedman ofMIT (physics, 1990), ProfessorSheldon Glashow of Harvard(physics, 1979), and MelvinShwartz (physics, 1988) were invit-ed to attend the ceremonies, butonly Glashow was able to come.- "I hope all of you are enjoyingthis as much as I am," saidFriedman in a prerecorded messageto the audience.

Warren Seamans, director of theMIT Museum, gave the traditionalHarvard joke, asking, "How manyHarvard students does it take toscrew in a light bulb? One. He holdsthe bulb and the world revolvesaround him."

Students found the proceedingsless entertaining than last year's cer-emonies. "I was disappointed," saidScott Centurino '94. "The ceremonydid not compare to all the hype forit."

Accident, from Page 1 determination as to the cause of theaccident."McCoy added that alcoholwas not involved.

"Clearly it was an accident," saidAnne P. Glavin, chief of CampusPolice. "The person did not deliber-ately set out to hit [the guard-house]."

Some of the witnesses, includingan officer on the scene, expressedshock that the driver could not avoidhitting the guardhouse, and theywondered about her motives. Glavindismissed these ideas, saying, "Theyare just opinions."

"We aren't looking at [the acci-dent] as some sort of willful ormalicious thing," said McCoy. "Weare investigating it like a regularmotor vehicle accident."

-By Saturday, the 'guardfiousehad been completely removed fromthe scene, and an officer workingout of his car was regulating accessto the parking lot.

Tutoring, from Page I declined in use three years ago dueto under-staffing. Ruben Morfin-Ramirez, assistant director of theOME, directed the renewal of theprogram.

To insure quality, tutors are paidand must have at least a 4.0 GPA inthe subject they tutor in and a 4.0GPA overall. Also, Morfin-Ranirezinterviews each tutor to check theircommunication skills. Graduate stu-dent tutors start at $9 an hour andundergraduate tutors at $7 an hour.

According to Francis, one short-coming of TSR is that tutors forupperclassmen are harder to find,but TSR is working on the problem.Presently, TSR is used primarily byfreshmen and sophomores.

Another deficiency of TSR is thelack of racial diversity among thetutors, Francis said. "I've made apush to get more tutors of color.Though this is highly touchy andpolitical, you need tutors of colorfor two reasons. One, you're mak-ing a statement if you have a certaingroup of people dominating in aprogram - that people of color arenot intelligent. Second, people oflike backgrounds understand eachother better anyway. People [shouldhave the option] of calling in andgetting tutored by a person of theirown race," he said.

TSR receives funding from theOME budget and is also subsidizedby the Industrial Advisory Councilfor Minority Education (IACME).IACME consists of 24 Fortune 500companies which are involved inmany of OME's programs and offersuggestions. IACME donated com-puters and helped,renovate theroom.

at TSR. The manager then contactstutors who are available during thetime requested and arranges a tutor-ing session at TSR.

Last year, the TSR helpedapproximately 150 students for atotal of 650 hours of tutoring,according to Program CoordinatorFabricio E. Rodriguez, who is incharge of the database.

"We were able to respond toevery tutoring request," Jacksonsaid.

"We will actively go out and findtutors if we don't already havetutors in [a certain] subject. But wedo have tutors for every majorcourse, especially in courses 11, VI,VIII,-7, and XVIII," said Fritz N.Francis '92, a program coordinatorwho oversaw the recent revitaliza-tion.

As a result, student satisfactionwith TSR seems to be high, accord-ing to the positive reaction columnon the sign in/out sheets.

Dione Sturd '96 was pleasedwith her tutoring session in physics."The tutor was very qualified; heexplained concepts well. Also, I gotthe time that I wanted," Sturd said.

Jason Puchalla G. a physicstutor, said, "Tutoring is good prac-tice; it keeps you on your toes byreviewing material. Also, it isenjoyable to have someone elseunderstand something they didn'tunderstand before."

Renovations made last year

Renovated last year, TSR nowhas more management staff, and alibrary of textbooks which will sooninclude a collection of bibles.Though TSR has been around sincethe early 1970's, when it was startedby the Black Student Union, it had

Spending from Page 1 Arms Trade" forum, held at MIT."It was an interesting consortium. Ithought that it was an exceptionalgroup of questions coming from theaudience, on a very diverse set oftopics," he said. He initially agreedto speak at the forum because hewas glad to see "this kind of initia-tive taken by students on contempo-rary issues."

Other MIT faculty involved inthe colloquium were Stephen W.Van Evera, assistant professor ofpolitical science, Kosta Tsipis,director of the Program in Scienceand Technology for InternationalSecurity, and Barry R. Posen andGeorge W. Rathjens, both profes-sors of political science, defense,and arms control studies.

Crystal said she was pleasedwith the results of the MIT forum."I think everybody got somethingdifferent out of it," she said. Shebelieved that the discussion formatsuited both those who knew aboutarms trading and weapons prolifera-tion, as well as those who didn't. "Itwas interesting. I'm trying to absorbit; some of it went over my head, Ithink," Crystal said.

The Harvard and MIT forumshave already taken place. Tufts willhost "The New World Order:Structures for Stability" on October8. UMass-Boston will hold "TheEconomic and Political Realities ofConverting to a PeacetimeEconomy" on October 13, andBoston University sponsors "HowMuch is Enough? Future Directionsfor Defiense" on October 15.

tling on appropriate titles. "Forexample, we knew that we neededto talk about several internationalorganizations and the legal system,but eventually, instead of focusingjust on international legal aspects,we decided to name the section'Structures for Stability'," Yoo said.

Yoo, a political science student,got involved in the colloquium,because she thought "more of thesestudent-run seminars should go on.It was a great idea."

"We got advice from variousfaculty and people in the communi-ty about what we should discuss andwho we should have speak," Crystalsaid. "I got in touch with studentsfrom different schools and they gotin touch with their faculty.

Selecting speakers took time"The part that we probably

worked hardest at was trying todecide who we wanted to speak.That part took a lot of discussion,then trying to get those speakers tocome. Then, once we got answersfrom them, we had to decide againwho we wanted to come," Yoo said.She wrote many letters to acade-mics, businessmen, and people inthe military and the government,asking them to come and speak.

Many M IT faculty, memberswere included in the collection ofspeakers. One of them was KennethA. Oye, director of the Center forInternational Studies. Oye moderat-ed the "Weapons Prolifieration and

Democrats, from Page I took part in National StudentMobilization Day, "the-official kick'off [of] national campus registrationdrives," according to the Clintoncampaign. Each of them spoke at adifferent university campus; lipperGore was at Boston University.

MIT joined in the festivities byholding a small rally outside theStudent Center just after noon.Andrci M. G. Saunders '92 andWalter E. Babiec '94 spoke at therally.

"Our role is to kick-off the cam-pus activities for Bill Clinton -toget students informed and aware ofthe issues," Babiec said.

"I think it was successful, eventhough there weren't tons of people.We were visible," said Clinton S.Bench '94. At least 20 studentscame, he said.

"I feel strongly about the successof organizations like these. Over thelast 12 years with Reagan, thenBush in power, a lot of young peo-ple have lost the sense of whatdemocracy is about," Bench said.

MIT rally organizers attributedthe low turnout to the late time atwhich they found out about theNSMD. They did not have muchtime to publicize the event.

Saunders said he heard that theNSMD events at BU and Harvardwere successful.

In his speech, Saunders "tried tostress that Bill Clinton and Al Goreare really in support of stronger edu-cation programs in this country."

"I think that although MIT isdemanding time-wise, peopleshould take the time to stop andthink about the issues," he said.What goes on in Washington, D.C.affects students' lives, and weshould think about that, he added.

Monday, Goodman said. Today isthe last day to register to vote in theNovember election inMassachusetts, she said.

"I'm pretty happy about [the reg-istration drive]. It was a good thingto have," Goodman said. For manyof the students that come from otherstates, it is too late to get absenteeballots, she said. This gives studentsa chance to vote by registering inlCambridge.

Long term plans for the CollegeDemocrats include bringing inspeakers to cover political topicsand working with the HarvardDemocrat's Club, Goodman said.Goodman also said that as a politi-cal science major, she is often awareof activities going on, but with theclub "speakers and activities can beaccessible to a wider variety of peo-ple," including students in othermajors.

Emily R. Prcnner '93 said thatthe club might look into sponsoringa debate.

Prenner, Karen Kaplan '93,Goodman, and May are starting theclub. According to Prenncr, who isthe club's temporary president, theclub is awaiting official recognitionby the Association of StudentActivities.

Some club members have attend-ed or participated in campaign-relat-ed activities around Boston and oncampus, including Clinton's Sept.25 speechat Faneuil Hall andPresident George Bush's appear-ance at a fundraising dinner lastFriday.

bag. "Strength to Endure" isn't a bad song, yetit is not a real winner. New Ramone C.J. takescontrol of the vocals for this one, as he doeson a later cut, "Main Man." "It's Gonna BeAlright" is more tune-oriented, with an upper-octave guitar adding harmony to the sonicbombardment at the other end of the spec-trum. "Take It As It Comes," which accordingto the press release, "demonstrates theRamones' longstanding knack for inventivecover versions" (in this case, of a song by TheDoors) is another track which has a videoplanned for it, but it honestly isn't one of theirstronger efforts.

"Main Man" and "Tomorrow She GoesAway" are two louder, strong songs on thelevel of"The Job That Ate My Brain." Thesesharply contrast the following "I Won't Let ItHappen-" a weak Ramones-brand ballad thatis not truly bad, but also is not very good."Cabbies On Crack" is an average effort thatisn't as pleasing as other songs on the album.Continuing in the "Someone is a Something"tradition, "Heidi is a Headcase" is an above-average buzzsaw guitar outing. The albumconcludes with "Touring," a well-intentionedpumped-up fifties-style tune complete with"Wah-ooh, bop bop"s. Some may find thissong just a tad annoying.

Mondo Bizarro is simply an above-averageeffort from the Ramones, but this is quite anachievement for a band that has been aroundfor 16 years. Anyone who has any number ofolder Ramones albums has undoubtedly heardall these songs before; the structures are thesame, with only minute chord changes.Basically, if you like The Ramohes, you willlike this album. If you are new to theRamones, get their original self-titled albumso you can truly experience the full-force firethat once burned within this band. The fire isstill there in Mondo Bizarro, but it's a bitwatered down.

In the press kit that accompanied MondoBizarro, Joey Ramone claimed it is "thebest Ramones album ever." The album, theband's first containing new material in

three years, is also their first with new bassistC.J. Ramone. Longtime listeners will proba-bly not agree with Joey's statement, but nei-ther will they say Mtondo Bizarro is a badalbum.

Xfondo Bizarro starts off strongly. The firsttwo cuts are standard Ramones, with the wallsof guitar that attract most people to the groupin the first place. "Censorshit," with its bla-tantly obvious political message, combines anall-out attack on Tipper Gore ("Ah, Tippercome on, ain't you been getting it on?/AskOzzie, Zappa or me./We'll show you what it'slike to be free/Hey, hey all you senators'wives/Better take a good look at your ownlives/Before you go preaching to me/Yourdefinition of obscenity") with a strong blast ofnoise.

"The Job That Ate My Brain" is by-the-numbers, trademark Ramones, which ofcourse is good. With the help of formerRamone Dee Dee Ramone, the group triestheir usual hand at melodiousness on "PoisonHeart," a song which they apparently intend tobecome the "success" of the album, because avideo is being prepared for it. Usually, whenthe Ramones try to be more emotional in asong, they overdo it. However, here they bal-ance the emotion with enough fury to allowthe song to still be very satisfying. "Anxiety"has a good barrage of guitars, but there isnothing truly different about it.

The rest of the album is a definite mixed The RamonesI

****: Excellent***: Good**: Mediocre*: Poor

****t~ Blade Runner: The Director's CutThe classic film Blade Runner celebrates

its 10th anniversary with the release of thefilm director Ridley Scott originally wanted tomake, without the annoying voice-over andthe upbeat ending. The result is a wonderful,Kubrickian film with a meditative mood and asoaring Vangelis score. Harrison Ford, RutgerHauer, and Sean Young give career perfor-mances in an apocalyptic urban nightmare ofthe future that was and may still be yearsahead of its time. More worthwhile seeingthan almost any "new" movie currently play-ing. Loews Nickelodeon

***I/z Bob RobertsFunny and disturbing, this satire of

American politics written and directed by itsstar, Tim Robbins, uses a mock documentarystyle to chronicle the rise to power of the fic-tional Bob Roberts. Roberts is a right-wingentertainer, entrepreneur, and political candi-date who has adopted folk singing as a medi-um for his conservative attitudes, and whoseonly clear beliefs are that individuals shouldbe able to gain as much wealth as they can

and that the liberal programs of incumbentSen. Paiste (Gore Vidal) are a waste ofmoney. The film's scathing indictment of can-didates and campaigning in the era of enter-tainment is accurate and hilarious, but trou-bling. Loews Nickelodeon

**1/2 Captain RonThough genuinely funny, this film is poor-

ly written and badly acted, aside from KurtRussell's performance as the title character.Captain Ron sails a boat belonging to Mr.Harvey (Martin Short) and his family from aremote Carribbean island to Florida where theboat is to be sold, encountering a few prob-lems along the way. The characterization ofthe Captain is delightful, but the plot is mawk-ish and the supporting acting is awful. Theamusing parts are truly funny, but what is leftafter the humor is badly done. Loews Copley Place

**** Howards EndThe filmmaking trio of James Ivory, Ismail

Merchant, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala havetranslated E. M. Forster's novel of class strug-gles in 20th-century England into a brilliantfilm that is an astonishing achievement. Thescreen is filled with contrasting elements suchas the rich and the poor, the romantic and thepragmatic, and the urban and the pastoral. Thealternately funny and moving story considers

which group will ultimately inherit the nation.Anthony Hopkins, Helena Bonham Carter,and Samuel West are excellent, while VancssaRcdgrave and Emma Thompson are outstand-ing. Loerws Charles

***~ Husbands and WivesBleak and powerful, Woody Allen's new

film examines the state of relationships todayand decides that everlasting love is little morethan a myth. Shot as a documentary, it followsthe members of two marriages as they growdisillusioned with one another and begin tolook for happiness elsewhere. Judy Davisgives a wonderfully neurotic comic perfor-mancc, Sydney Pollack is amazing as a manfull of frustration but still deserving pity, andAllen and Mia Farrow appear to be hauntedby pain. The movie is occasionally funny, butit is more convincing when it dramatizes itscharacters' inabilities to find fulfillment.Loews Paris

**** School TiesThis is an amazing film dealing with anti-

Semitism in the 1950's. Brendan Fraser deliv-ers a powerful performance as David Greene,who is recruited from a poor town to playfootball for an elite preparatory school. Davidat first hides the fact that he is Jewish and fitsin well with his new group of friends. When

they find out he is Jewisl, each reacts differ-ently. The movie examines different forms ofprejudice in the actions of David's friendsafter their discovery. Overall, the acting isconvincing, the story is feasible, and thlemoral is presented well. The film properly bal-ances its humorous and serious sides, yieldinga final product that is as mcaningful as it isenjoyable to watch. Loewvs Cheri

*** SinglesThis light and entertaining film tocuscs on

the struggles of six singles in their 20s as theytry to understand love and relationships. SteveCambell, Kyra Scdgwick, Bridget Fonda, andMatt Dillon are all good, the script by directorCameron Crowe is often extrcrnely funny, andSeattle locations and music provide an inter-esting backdrop. Although it is not as realisticas Crowe's Say Anything, the movie containswonderful isolated moments that are filledwith truthful familiarity. Loews Cheri

*** Single White FemaleStrong performances by both Bridget

Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh and directorBarbet Schroeder's interesting use of lightingand color to create a vividly sinister settingstart the film off strongly, but the earlypromise is never followed through. The inter-esting but glaringly sexist premise is thatrecently single Fonda has a deep need forcompanionship and Leigh happily fills thevoid with a similar but dangerous desire forattention. Eventually formula takes over, butdespite a few ridiculous implausibilities, thefilm remains effective. Loews Copley Place

**** UnforgivenOne of the better westerns ever made,

David Webb People's story about a retiredgunslinger (Clint Eastwood) who agrees tohunt down two men for reward money is arichly written deconstructionist work that rel-ishes its elliptical morality. In this version ofthe west, "sheriffs" beat men to keep violenceout of their towns, "villains" are remorsefulfor what they've done, "heroes" only feelalive when killing, and no one can be forgivenwhen no one can realiy define a sin.Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman,and Richard Harris are all excellent, andEastwood's direction has a slowly buildingpace that allows even the most minor charac-ters and events to be embellished with finedetail. Loews Copley Place

**1/2 Wind

Visually spectacular sailing sequences atthe beginning and end of the film combine thedrama of being in the America's Cup with theexcitement of controlling the boats on theopen seas. The movic fails between the tworaces, though. The plot is incoherent and themain characters, played by Matthew Modineand Jennifer Grey, are poorly developed. Thestory about attempts to reclaimn the Cup llas itscharming morrints, but overall it is never asconvincing as the pllenomcna] racing scenes.Loews Charles
