Conservative group
drops suit against Ky.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUISVILLE — A
state scholarship pro-
gram under legal attack
from a conservative
group has reversed its
stance on whether a stu-
dent seeking a degree in
religious studies is eligi-
ble for the state funds.

The group. the
American Center for
Law and Justice, had
sued the Kentucky High-
er Education Assistance
Authority on behalf of
Michael Woods Nash. a
junior at Cumberland
College in Williamsburg
who is majoring in phi-
losophy and religion.

nization founded by tele-
vangelist Pat Robertson,
said that with the rever-
sal by the scholarship
agency. it filed a motion
to dismiss the suit filed

ton.

The group went to
court after Nash was no-
tified that his scholar-
ship funding would be
cut off because he had
declared philosophy and
religion as his major

The Kentucky High-
er Education Assistance
Authority cited a policy
that said the state could
not offer financial assis-
tance to students en-
rolled in programs lead-
ing to degrees in theolo-
gy, divinity or religious
education.

Last week. the state
agency notified Cumber-
land College that Nash
and any other student in
the same course of study
would be eligible for
KHEAA funds.

“The basis upon
which he was denied the
funds did not hold up
upon further examina-
tion." said Joe Mc-
Cormick. executive di-
rector of the agency.

He said there was
not a policy change.

“It's just a re-exami-
nation of the course of
study that he is in fact
enrolled in." McCormick
said.

However, a letter
from McCormick to
Cumberland College
President James Taylor
said his agency will be
“notifying schools of
our revised guidance re
garding which majors
are eligible" to receive

In his first two years

ISTANBUL. Turkey 7— Fearing war
could trigger a crisis in the region. Iraq‘s
neighbors urged Saddam Hussein on Thurs-

Iraqi leader to step down. "The countries of
this region do not wish to live through yet

Turkish Foreign Minister Yasar Yakis. “We
therefore soletnnly call on the Iraqi leader-
ship to move irreversibly and sincerely to-

restoring peace and stability in the region."
Foreign ministers of the six countries »-
Turkey. Syria. Iran. Jordan. Egypt and Saudi
Arabia - urged Iraq to “demonstrate a more
active approach“ in providing information
on its weapons programs “in full conformi-
ty“ with UN. regulations. However. Yakis
and others said there was no discussion of
urging Saddam to step down to spare his
country from war.

Rumsfeld comments stir controversy

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary
Donald H. Rumsfeld‘s blunt talk made him a
celebrity in the early months of the anti~ter-
ror war. but his more recent comments are
coming back to bite in the more complicated
run-up to a possible war with Iraq. Rumsfeld
offended NATO allies France and Germany
this week and Vietnam veterans earlier this
month. While the defense secretary said he
was sorry some veterans “misinterpreted"
his voicing disdain for draftees' contribu-
tions. he's not backing down on comments
calling France and Germany part of “old
Europe“ and “a problem" in their opposition
to military action in Iraq. After a closed-
door session with senators Thursday, Rums-
feld said he was not worried his comments
might have damaged relations with Euro-
pean allies. Asked about the criticism of his
comments, the 70-year-old Rumsfeld replied:
“At my age. 'old' is a term of endearment.“

Nuclear issue bogs down Korea talks

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea
agreed Friday to work with South Korea to
peacefully resolve the international standoff
over Pyongyang's nuclear programs, as US.
envoys stepped up diplomatic efforts else-
where. But after the two Koreas issued a
joint statement pledging cooperation. the
South Korean government acknowledged
that the agreement fell short of commit-
ments it sought from the North during the
Cabinet-level talks. In the declaration, the
two sides said they had “sufficiently ex-
changed” positions on the nuclear issue and
“agreed to actively cooperate to resolve this
issue peacefully.”

Under tire: White House choice Jerry Thacker
draws criticism after calling AIDS the 'qay plague'

ASSOCIATED PRISS

WASHINGTON A Christian activist chosen by the
White House for a presidential AIDS advisory panel is Willi-
drawing his name under pressure after calling the disease
the “gay plague." and making :lIIIIlitiIIIOSt‘XIIIIl statements,

The administration had chosen .lerry Thacker to serve
on the Presidential Advisory Commission oit lll\' and
AIDS. He was to be sworn in along with other new t'tJIlIIIIISv
sion members next week by Health and Human Services
SecretaryTommy 'l‘hoinpson.

Thacker was sending a letter Thursday to say that he
would not accept the appointment. administration oft’ir
cials said.

White House press secretary Ari Fleischer. while her
thei‘ confirming nor denying the withdrawal. iss‘iied a stern
rebuke of Thacker‘s statements.

“The views that he holds are far. far removed from what
the president believes." Fleischer said. “The president has a
total opposite view. The president's view is that people with
AIDS need to be treated with care. compassion."

The administraiion‘s choice of the Pennsylvania mar-
keting consultant had come under severe criticism from
gay rights groups and others. 'l‘hacker contracted the
AIDS virus after his wife was infected through a blood
transfusion received during childbirth. Their daughter is
HIV-positive.

Thacker: a graduate of Bob Jones University. is founder
of the Scepter Institute. At one point. his biography on the
Scepter Web site referred to AIDS as the "gay plague."
Thacker has referred to gay people as practicing a “death-
style.“ rather than a lifestyle. and has described homosexu-
ality as a sin that can be cured by Christianity

Like the Bush administration. he promotes abstinence
from sex as the way to prevent HIV infection. “For the un~
married. the only truly safe sex’ is not to have sex." Thacker
has written. He describes himself as an activist in the
Christian community

In September 2001. Thacker returned to his altna mater
to give two “Chapel Messages." The speeches focused on the
“sin of homosexuality" and his faiitily's struggle with AIDS
and its association with gays.

“Be compassionate to those caught up in this sinful
deathstyle. Let them know you care. but at the same time let
them know homosexuality is a sin. Only when homosexu-
als know it is sin can they repent." said the summary.

It also said: "Many people believe that AIDS is the judg-
ment of God on our nation. but Mr. Thacker believes that
homosexuality is the judgment of God on America.“

The 35-member AIDS commission advises the White
House on AIDS prevention and treatment policy.

David Stiiith ot‘ the Human Rights Campaign. a gay
rights advocacy group. applauded the news that Thacker
would not join the panel but said Bush administration AIDS
policies still fall far short.

“Their obsessive focus on abstinence as the solitary
mechanism to prevent the transmission of HIV is not based
in sound science." Smith said. “They continue to come
from an ideological perspective as opposed to a scientific,
perspective."

of what race really means to-
day compared to what it
meant in the past." he said
“We are still dealing with dif

historical relevance but also
of personal identity that is

that anyone with ties to Ken-

particular interest to people
in Kentucky because of Keir

Jabali Afrika offers a
new and innovative mix of
original compositions with
traditional African beats.

"Jabali Afrika is a fusion
of African rhythms with an
element of rock." Lee said.
"They like to get the audi~
ence involved with singing
and dancing."

Jabali band-members

of instruments. resounding
vocals. choreography and ap-

tice. they met on a large rock
to talk about their musical
careers and to practice.

They claim their band
name is ideal. for it symbol-

izes strength and foundation.

"1 would be very inter-
ested in exploring a different
side of rock. something that
is not trendy-pop for a
change." said sophomore
Craig Wallace. and econom-
ics major.

“We expect about 500
people to come out for this

JABALI AFRIKA

event." said Lee. “The only
problem may be that it's ear-
ly in the year and people may
not have seen the flyers
around campus.“

Jabali Afrika has a lot of
interest in performing for
larger universities. Other
stops on the tour include
Syracuse University on the
27th and Emory College on
the 30th.

Jabali has been recog-
nized a number of times in
Africa. Europe and in the
United States for both special
performances and awards.

After local accomplish-
ments. Jabali stayed in Ger-
many and Austria in 1995 to
tour in the African Heritage
Festival. The group was fea-
tured on CNN. BBC and
Good Morning America and
played in the Marley Magic
Tour in honor of Bob Marley.
In 1996, the band played at
the Horde Festival.

Currently, Jabali Afrika
has released two albums
available in the US. and Eu-
rope. Journey and Remember
the Past.

AFRI KAN B EATS

Jabali Afrika will play at 8 pm.
Wednesday. Jan. 29. in the Student
Center Grand Ballroom. The concert

I would be very interested in exploring a different side of
rock, something that is not trendy-pop for a change.
