4 PLO and Israel: two sides capable of peace? ADAM LUCAS staff writer The impression that many eople have of the Palestinian Lib ration Organization is not always ntirely accurate. While the PLO has objected to he ere- v „, , *• : . 1*" ' I /it *& - j tion and xistence of Israel every since the 19 4 os, they feel they have legitimate j ona th an Malino reasons. The original reason was, as pro fessor of philosophy and expert on Israel affairs, Jonathan Malino, put it, Israel appeared to be "a fifty first state of the United States." The Palestinian Arabs did not appreciate this perceived imperi alism at their back door. As Malino put it, the land was considered "Arab land," and they did not feel the need to give it up. However, the manner in which the PLO has regained their home land is the factor that contributes the most to society's lack of sym pathy. Numerous terrorist attacks have been inflicted on the Israelis, with perhaps the most devastating to the PLO's reputation being one they may not even have been re sponsible for. The attack on the Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic games in Munich is still ingrained in many people's minds-the horror of the The Who, What, When, Where and How of the brand-new Guilfordian Practicum course (beginning spring, 1996) What?

The PLO has continued to deny responsibility for those actions, but most people simply associate vio lence against Israel with the PLO. With this history of violence, is peace truly possible? The recent assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin left some people wondering if perhaps the nation would come together in the wake of the tragedy. However, Malino points out that "the reasons for the hatred don't disappear with Rabin," Hundreds Yitzhak Rabin: 1922-1995 ADAM LUCAS staff writer Former Secretary of State James Baker summed up much of the world opinion regarding the recent assassination of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin: "Peace will be Yitzhak Rabin's legacy." Born in 1922, Rabin had a long political history, beginning in World War II when he was part of an elite fighting force that tried to keep the Nazis from occupying land in the Middle East. The soldier turned peacekeeper in 1968 when he was appointed ambassador to the United States, one of the most important positions in Israel. In 1974, he was elected prime minister of Israel, the youngest and news of years of antipathy are not likely to be replaced by sorrow over one isolated event. As MaJino says, "You have to remember that you are dealing with societies that are manipulated by their governments." Change is not going to occur until people in positions of power have a change of heart. Unfortunately for Israel, the new prime minister, Shimon Peres, is nowhere near as popular as Rabin was. In fact, Malino sees real trouble for the peace process if the Labor Party loses in the next elec tion, which comes around in 1996. first native-born Israeli to serve in that capacity. Although he was not re-elected after his first term, he regained the position in 1992. It was during this term that Rabin gave the world one of the most lasting images of this de cade-the moment on September 13,1993, when he and the PLO's Yasser Arafat shook hands on the White House lawn. This gesture provided the planet with hope that peace could be achieved in the Middle East, but the tranquility was shattered when disgruntled law student Yigal Amir shot Rabin twice with a 9mm Beretta on November 4. It is now up to historians to de termine Rabin's legacy. However, as James Baker said, is there any more worthwhile legacy than peace?

In this proposal they ask that the second and third floor of Milner house men and women in adjacent rooms. They would like males and fe males in separate rooms while still sharing a single floor. They feel that working towards a community where males and females are com municating and living together will reduce the male and female tension that occurs on campus. The proposal does not concern only Milner. In this proposal, mak ing the Dana houses and the Apart ments coed is also mentioned. This would be done by adjacent rooms just like Milner. The problem is the rule that each sex must have a separate bath room. While you can make one bathroom male and one bathroom female in Milner's halls, the same is not possible in the other two situ ations.

Proposal-makers want people to understand this. They call the proposal and co-ed policy an extension, stating that they want the existing policy for the Pope, Pines and Hildebrant to be ex tended to these areas. George Segabade in Housing comments, "as returning students you get more choices. Rooms will not need to be saved for freshmen males in a Bryan suite because they could now live in rooms in Milner." He also noted that it gives people another option for the kind of liv ing situation they want to experi ence while on campus. With this policy you would have the option of applying for the Dana Houses and the Apartments in co-ed groups. He also mentioned that this would not change the rule set forth in the current visitation policy. Because the school is already co-ed, this proposal opens up more housing options and extends cur rent policy. Sara Johnson/The Guilfordian
