Two UK instructors
view Somalian crisis
with great concern

 

By Noelle Cress
Staff Writer

Americans have already started
to take stock of what “Operation
Restore Hope." the relief effort for
the people of Somalia. will entail
and how long it might iast.

Two UK instructors. Karen
Mingst and Nelson Messone. have
a keen arid educated eye for the
events that will undoubtedly make
history over the next six months.
Mingst arid Mcssone said liriday
tltey know this is a rtew situation
for the United Nations. especially
for the United States.

Mirtgst. a professor of intenta-
tional law. spent several years irt
Africa teaching in its universities
arid living with its people. She said
Arnericart forces being deployed to
Somalia may not be ready for what
they will see there.

“I think the Americrut forces are
going to be really shocked."
Mingst said. “They have tto idea
what they are getting into. You cart
tell them objectively. btrt subjec-
tive reality is so different frottt
what they imagine. 'l‘hey ha\e nev-
er seen this before."

The situation that Mingst refers
to is one of a total breakdown of
arty authority or central govern-
ment. virtually no food or water.
but plenty of AK-47s and bullets.

“It's rather a unique situation iii
that its the complete breakdown of
order." Mingst said. “It's not just

Recently itt public interviews.
two of the major warlords have
agreed to cooperate with the effort.
However it is doubtful. based oit
past actions. that they will keep
their word.

Messone. a graduate studcrtt in
the political science department. is
a native of (iabon on the western
coast of Africa. He is concerned
with the misery and suffering of
his Somali neighbors.

He said coordirtators of the l' N.
effort must come to understand the
inner workings of the Somalian
culture. its reliance oit “clartism.”
One reason for the fighting has to
do with the history of farttily clzuts.

homeless kids

 

By Patricia Garcia
Contributing Writer

 

Homeless children made picture
frames and had their pictures taken
with Santa Claus Saturday during a
party at the Salvation Army Shelter.

The Christmas celebration was
sponsored by the UK Student
Health Advisory Council so local
homeless children could share the
holiday spirit.

This is the first year the Salvation
Amty joined with SHAC in plan-
ning the party. Together, they took
monetary donations to put together
care packages for the children.

SllAC‘s members are students
who are interested in quality health

German riots atypical, students say

 

By Tommy Gay
Senior Staff Writer

 

German exchange students at UK
agree that the American press is
treating the German neo-Nazi riots
unfairly.

“The press treats Gennany unfair
right now because you don't hear
anything else but the riots front
Germany.“ said Boje Siebels. a
physics senior from Heidelberg
University in Germany. “It‘s true
what they are saying. but they are

saying nothing else."

Simon Kalvoda. a physics gradu-
ate student from southwest Genna-
ny near Heidelberg. said the influ-
ence of neo-Nazi groups is
overestimated.

“'lhis is a very small minority.
which is. perhaps. now taken a little
bit too importantly in press. but it is
a problem." Kalvoda said.

Alex Grossmann. another physics
graduate student from Black Forest.
Germany. said that there have been
many demonstrations against the

nco-Nazis. but the American press
has not given much attention to
them.

“l think this shows that most peo-
ple in Germany or many people in
(icnnany are against the riots and
against hate to foreigners.“ (iross-
tnann said.

He said the (icrman press treated
the l.os Angles riots this summer
the same way that the American
press is covering the neo-Na/zi riots.

Secret tapes show Nixon wanted
to plant literature, article reports

 

Associated Press

 

WASHINGTON —— Still-secret
White House tapes show Richard
Nixon favored planting McGovern
campaign literature in the apartment
of the man arrested for shooting Al-
abama Gov. George Wallace. The
New Yorker magazine reported yes-
terday.

Nixon and White House counsel
Charles Colson discussed how to
exploit the attempted assassination
for political gain within hours of the
May 15. 1972. shooting. The New
Yorker said in a story released yes-
terday.

They were unable to plant materi-
al from Democrat George McGov-
em‘s presidential campaign because
the FBI moved too quickly in seal-
ing off the apartment of gunman
Arthur Bremer. said the magazine
article by Seymour M. Hersh.

Colson told The New Yorker that
the idea progressed as far as ap-
proaching E. Howard Hunt about
flying to Milwaukee where Bremer
lived. according to Hersh‘s article.

Hunt was a retired CIA agent and
Colson political operative who
served 32 months in prison for the
Watergate break-in. which occurred

I

the month after the Wallace shoot-
mg.

“I don‘t know which one of us
actually said. ‘Too bad we can’t
plant McGovem literature,‘ " The
New Yorker quoted Colson as tell-
ing the magazine.

But the tapes show Nixon berated
Colson after being told the idea of
planting McGovern literature would
not work because the FBI had
moved too quickly. according to
The New Yorker.

Nixon complained on the still-
undisclosed tape “about the missed
opportunity to damage McGovern."
said the article.

Many of the tapes relating to the
Watergate break-in have been re-
leased. but hundreds of additional
hours of recordings from the Nixon
White House‘s taping system re-
main under lock and key at the Na-
tional Archives. Watergate historian
Stanley Kutler has sued archives of-
ficials seeking their release. alleg-
ing that they relate to the Watergate
break-in and other abuses of power.

Separately, a federal appeals
court ruled last month that Nixon
was entitled to be paid for the sei-
we of White House papers and
tapes from his administration.

Nixon lawyer R. Stan Mortenson

i

declined to comment on The New
Yorker story.

According to the magazine, the
unreleased tapes also show:

oBusinessman Charles G. “Bebe"
Rebozo gave the president cash and
bought a house for Nixon‘s younger
daughter. Julie. and her husband,
David Eisenhower.

Nixon and White House chief of
staff HR. llaldeman “openly dis-
cussed the sale of ambassadorships
— to what country. for how much
in contributions.“ Nixon allegedly
insisted that people wanting to
serve as ambassador in more desira-
ble posts be told they would lose
the job after a year unless they
made an additional contribution.

The Art ot’ Noise meets Techno-
trottic.

'llrat's one way to describe the
sounds on The ()rb's second album,
l'FDrb.

l‘he British duo has created a
techno potpourri ot‘ psychedelic
sounds. eerie chords and pulsating
house beats.

All of this comes without the dis-
traction ot' predictable. cliche lyrics
that chamcten/e tirarty dance tracks
today.

'l‘hat‘s not to say that listeners
should look to the ()rb's latest aitd
expect just a dance album. People
who expect to find a down house

samples and chords may be dissap-

Disney is not just for kids arty-
more. The new Disney release
“Aladdin" is guaranteed to appeal
to all ages. like those Bugs Bunny
cartoons that were funny when you
were a kid and are even better now
that you get the subtle gags sairned
atadults.

Kids will enjoy the tnagical story
line about Aladdin. a street tliiet
who discovers an enchanted laitrp
and a magic carpet. With the help
ol’ the carpet arid the (‘renie ol' the
lamp. he manages to win the heart
ot. the Princess Jasmine despite his
humble origins.

Alter all. good always triumphs

Adults will love the (ienie ol the
lamp. with the voice provided by
Robin Williams. Williams is hilari-

llis comic delivery is perfectly

scene.

llis diuying traiisl‘ortnations keep
the audience guessing who he'll ini-
personate next.

While the (ienie is a remarkably

original character. the main charac~
ters leave something to be desired.
Aladdin looks [list like l't'iltt‘c l‘jt’tc

However. the depth ot~ characteri-
lation found in “Beauty and tire
Beast" is lackrrtg itt ".»\laddin."
Belle and the Beast are shown slow-
ly falling ill love. so their characters
are given plenty ol‘ time to develop.

Aladdin arid Princess Jasmine do
the standard love-at-l‘rrst-sight trick.
and the rest of the movie is spent on
action and adventure. This is trot
necessarily bad. It just gives "Alad-
din" a dit‘l'erent feel.

The animation as a whole is ex-
cellent. The sequences in the (‘ave
of Wonders. where Aladdin finds
the latnp. are truly spectacular.

'l‘he magic carpet has let the Dis-
ttey :utimators rise to new heights.

arttly surprised.

Listeners should instead expect
something that sounds experimen-
tal arid fresh. The album is tut alter-
native to rttost ol' the music being
spoon led to an undemartding pop
culture by unimaginative record
producers.

From the lirst track. “o.o.b.e."
the album llows like techno ran.
At times the album is mellow with
out~of—the-clear-blue sound ct'l'ccts.
At other times the ()rb drops the
steady thump ol‘ a dance beat arid
produces a deep house track.

carpet ride

ol' the most impressive animation
I‘ve ever seen

The carpet careens through the
have ol Wonders. and their in an
other scene dips and twirls through
the clouds. making it seettt almost
like an IMAX theater.

'lhe magic carpet is rust one ol’
Aladdin's many sidekrcks. llis oth-
er l‘riend is Abu. a mischievous
monkey. Abti is cleverly attritiated
so that he is remarkably cxprcssi\e
considering he never really speaks.

“Aladdin" is destined to become
another Disney classic Robin Wil-
liams' pct'lormtutce alone makes
the movie worthwhilc. biit the liliir
also has many other merits such as
the incredible animation.

I would even recommend that
you see it twice _- just in case you
truss something the lirst time
around.
