Arabs might reject
; sanctions against Libya
; CAIRO, Egypt Arab leaders on
; Sunday weighed a plan to reject West
; em-backed sanctions against Libya over
the Tripoli government's alleged in-
volvement in the bombing of Pan Am
' Flight 103.
, Libya, which denies involvement in
the bombing, accused the West of try
ing to overthrow its leader Moammar
Gadhafi .
Foreign ministers of the 21-member
Arab League, meeting in emergency
session at Libya's request, were consid
ered likely to approve a draft resolution
reiterating their"support of Libya in the
face of all threats aimed against it."
Britain, France and the United States
have asked the U.N. Security Council to
punish Libya for refusing to hand over
two Libyan officials suspected in the
1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103
and four others suspected in the 1989
bombing of a French airliner. The at-
- tacks claimed the lives of 441 people.
Libya has offered to try the suspects
in Tripoli before an international court
or in a neutral country.
: '- The Security Council resolution, ex-
pected to be imposed this week, would
ban air links with Libya, halt arms sales
: and urge other nations to expel most
' Libyan diplomats.
The Arab League's draft measure
did not mention the handing over of
Libyan suspects, but said the sanctions
could damage the economies and secu
rity of the region.
Clinton defends rides
on tycoon's airplane
WASHINGTON Arkansas Gov.
Bill Clinton defended Sunday taking
rides on the corporate jet of a chicken
processing tycoon and said it was only
disclosed because of a law he pushed
through the legislature.
The Democratic presidential front
runner also said Sunday he has required
the processing firm involved, Tyson's
Chickens, to spend money on pollution
control. Environmentalists say the firm
has polluted Arkansas streams.
The Washington Post reported Sun
day that Clinton and his wife,"Hillary
Clinton, have been treated to free air
plane transportation by Don Tyson,
president of the $4-billion family busi
ness, on nine occasions since 1989.
Clinton, when asked about the flights,
said the state only has one airplane and
he tries to fly that one when he can. But
"the state of Arkansas is not politically
or economically ready ... to have an
airplane even for business trips."
The Post quoted Arkansas officials
as saying that nearly half of the 600
miles of streams in the northwest part of
Arkansas, where the poultry industry is
centered, are considered so polluted by
chicken and livestock waste that they
are off-limits to swimming.
Clinton convenedatask force in 1990
to recommend ways of protecting
streams and ground water from poultry
litter, but some environmentalists have
said it is weighted with industrialists.

Staff Writer
After 32 years of working for United
Press International, Al Rossiter recently
decided he'd rather deal with Dookies
in Durham than federal bankruptcy of
ficials in New York.
Rossiter, former head of news opera
tions for UPI, the nation's second-largest
wire service, left the financially
strapped agency last week to become
director of the Duke University news
service.
But Rossiter said the opportunity to
work at Duke, rather than the troubles
faced by UPI, was his reason for leav
ing. Because of financial difficulties, UPI
had frozen Rossiter's pension for the
past three years. Rossiter would not say
whether Duke was paying him a higher
salary than UPI.
"I was offered an excellent opportu
nity at Duke University that I could not
refuse," he said.
The 56-year-old Rossiter left the
troubled news service shortly after UPI,
once one of the world's most prominent
and influential news agencies, filed for
bankruptcy. Rossiter said the news ser
vice had been losing about $550,000 a
month when it filed for bankruptcy Aug.
28.
UPI presently faces another crisis as
it attempts to find a creditor or investor '
willing to buy the company and spend
the money necessary to keep it afloat.
Despite UPI's financial troubles, the
agency's news coverage has not been
hindered, said Steve Geimann, the wire
service's executive vice president and
executive editor.
"The fact that we are in bankruptcy
has not affected our ability to cover
news," Geimann said.
"While we've been in Chapter II,
we've continued to cover news, poli
tics, travel with the president and cover
events in Europe."
But Rossiter said the news services'
economic troubles have affected the
quality and depth of coverage.
Staff cuts have reduced the UPI news
staff to about half its 1 987 size. Many of
these cuts have come from reductions in
the number of state and local bureaus,
Rossiter said.
Despite UPI's troubles and Rossiter's
untimely departure, Geimann said the
Campolo
career newsman had done a great deal
for the wire service.
"Rossiter will be missed," Geimann
said. "He leaves in the best of terms and
best of relations. He was a very talented
editor and manager."
As head of the Duke University news
service, Rossiter will oversee external
and internal communications at the
school and publication of the Duke Dia
logue, a newspaper for faculty and staff
members, he said.
Geoffrey Mock, editor of the Duke
Dialogue, said he expected Rossiter to
bring a great deal of experience and
expertise to Duke.
"As someone with his national cre
dentials, he'll be able to give us some
new strengths and compliment the
strengths we had before."

tians should drive us to repentance."
Although he has spoken on many
college campuses, Campolo claimed no
special talent of communication with
college students, only that he shared
many of their views. "I am concerned
about many of the things college stu
dents are concerned about.
"We are on the verge of a new out
burst of student activism, different from
the '60s." He explained that in the '60s,
students tried to provoke change through
political action. "(Students now) have
given up on power," he said.
Abuse of power, relationships and
equality were main premises of
Campolo's speech. He generously in
cluded quips and anecdotes throughout
his lecture, varying his tone and expres
sion and occasionally soliciting response
from the audience.
Campolo opened his speech by de
scribing the conflict between the op
pressor and the oppressed and the prob
lems caused by excessive power.
"Power is a pretty ugly thing, but
everyone loves it. Who doesn't get off
on power?" Not many powerful people
would be attracted to God or political
correctness, he said, explaining that
political correctness speaks for those
who have no power or voice.
He explained that the pursuit of power
also can cause problems in personal
relationships. "Women are not power
ful, and men have too much power," he
said. "Love is giving up power because
power is inversely proportional to love."
Campolo said the problems can be
extended to broader issues. "WASPs
must give up power.
"Sin diminishes humanity of another
human being. Politically incorrect
speech is, therefore, a sin."
Campolo cited the common images
of women as one embodiment of pol iti
cal incorrectness, resulting in the view
of women as objects instead of indi
viduals. "People are tired of being used."
The Christian community cannot
separate itself from human concerns at
the risk of becoming isolated, he said.
"Christians can be the most politically
oppressive people on earth."
Campolo urged Christians and non
Christians to listen to the messages of
political correctness and the Bible. "The

ultimately correct message is love. There
is a liberation, not through power or
might but love," he said.
David Ward, an IVCF member, said
he was pleased with the lecture's turn
out and the issues Campolo raised. "It
was a good message that can be applied
differently." He said non-Christians also
could have benefited. "It was a good
presentation of an intelligent and ar
ticulate Christian who can help elimi
nate misconceptions."
IVCF staff member Brian Wallace
agreed, adding that he enjoyed
Campolo's style and delivery. "He is an
entertainer in the true sense of the word."
Ward also felt Campolo was dynamic
and exciting to see and hear in person. "I
was exhausted just listening to him."

did not account for most of the parking

'The bulk of the money probably
comes from repeat offenders," he said.
Luther said that while a number of
the repeat offenders were University
students, students were not ticketed dis
proportionately. Students are not the largest group of
delinquent offenders, he added. "In fact,
some of the biggest offenders are up

said that he favored a revamped black
business community.
"At this point, we haven't had enough
time to review and understand the pro

According to the declaration, the
University causes economic segrega

small percentage of the population.
"The crisis is aggravated by the fact
that we have no Black center," the dec

Chapel Hill Town Council member

members needed to clarify the dynam

could commit to granting their request.
"We need a more defined proposal
from them," he said.
