Celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of the Intifada: The struggle continues I The Intifada lives on Ti HE PALESTINIAN uprising, the In- tifada, against the Israeli occupation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip contin- ues to this day with the active partici- pation of all sectors of Palestinian so- ciety. The brute force of Israeli occu- pation in the form of the four year old "Iron Fist" state policy coupled with the hard reality of over 22 years of oc- cupation precipitated the formation of a genuine mass action that speaks with one voice and one message: the Israeli occupation must end and an indepen- dent and free Palestinian state must be recreated in Palestine. Despite the negligible mainstream media coverage of the Intifada and the consequent shibboleths about dimin- islied resistance and waning enthusi- asm, the Palestinian people have in- tensified their level of struggle. :Moreover, the Intifadah has evolved qualitatively as well. It is now in its second phase; a phase which is de- signed to create an indigenous infras- tructure creating for the Palestinians complete and total independence from the Israeli economy. The first phase, symbolized by the heroic figure of a stone throwers courageously facing the might of the Israeli Army, was primar- ily designed to redirect and shape pub- lic opinion through a mass based revo- lution. The second phase involves the building of state apparatuses which can only strengthen the Unified Leadership's call for mass civil disobedience in the form of extended general strikes and comprehensive boycotts of all Israeli products and markets. After one year of conflict, the Israeli Defense Forces began turning to more comprehensive and systematic manifes- tations of their state policies of might, beatings, and torture. Stones, against this kind of state terrorism, were in- creasingly less effective. The more political Phase Two with which the Palestinians have met this onslaught attempts to build on the groundwork laid by the initial resistance. The leadership of the Intifada is now intent upon eliminating all institutions of Israeli state power in the Occupied Territories and supplanting them with new, indigenous Palestinian institu- tions. Thus, municipal officials ap- pointed by the Israelis are being told to resign or risk reprisal. Palestinian po- lice people are urged to retire from the force. A sense of psychological liberation is being born - even where the Israelis are able to impose their own adminis- tration on an unwilling population. The sense of collectivism spawned through the uprising and furthered by the spirit of cooperation that has become the hallmark of the Palestine Liberation Organization promises a future in which this psychological freedom will become political as well. Perhaps most importantly, Palestinian freedom is now closer because of the extent to which the Intifadah has come home to roost within Israel itself. Largely as a consequence of the Palestinians' tremendously effective boycotts of Israeli goods and withdrawals from Israeli banks, the already shaky Israeli economy is reeling. Inflation is approaching 40%, unemployment has topped 10%, tourism revenues refuse to recover. The country as a whole - increasingly a pariah in the international community - experienced negative foreign investment in 1988, and its ex- ternal debt is mounting daily. Israel has a choice: it can either face the continued ramifications of its own human rights abuses and deteriorating economy or submit to the inevitable: an free and independent Palestinian State. Celebrate the third anniversary of the Palestinian Uprising by attending a cultural night in East Quad, 7:00 p.m. tonight. The Daily encourages all members of the University community and local residents to attend. Today is the second anniversary of the intifada - the popular uprising of the Palestinian people. In the past two years over 800 people have been killed, and tens of thousands have been arrested. Because media coverage of the intifadah is incomplete and inconsistent it is difficult to know exactly what the situation really is in Occupied Palestine. The following are the names of those killed since December 8,1987, compiled by the Database Project on Human Rights. Israel is the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid and the tear gas the Israeli military uses is made in the United States.

It's a question easily an- swered. Unfortunately, in the next few weeks many students will be selling their textbooks to local book stores, thus denying themselves the opportu- nity to get much more money by selling these books through the Student Book Exchange. The Student Book Exchange, a stu- dent organization which has gained many happy customers in the past two years, serves as a marketplace for stu- dents who wish to sell and buy used textbooks at prices much better than those offered by local merchants. The system is simple. Students selling books set their own prices, so they are able to sell them at prices higher than the buyback rates offered by the bookstores. Students who buy the used books from the Student Book Exchange instead of the bookstores end up saving considerable cash. It is the perfect economic system: one which benefits both the buyer and the seller. The books are left on consignment, so that if students fail to sell all of the books they bring to the Exchange, they will still have time to take them to a lo- cal bookstore and sell them. The Student Book Exchange itself is a non-profit organization which deducts 10 percent from each sale in order to pay for supplies and sales tax. Leftover money goes to a charity, probably the American Cancer Society. Despite the obvious merits of the Student Book Exchange, the students running it have been thwarted several times in their attempts to find a good location for their biannual market. Though every student organization has the right tn rent a rnm in the Union- there is no clause in Barnes & Noble's lease which gives the store the exclu- sive right to buy and sell books in the Union, it is a "practice" to protect mer- chants from competition, according to Union management. Barnes & Noble pays the University a reported $400,000 each year for rent. The bar- ring of the Student Book Exchange from the Union is intolerable and the Union Board should reconsider allow- ing the Student Book Exchange to use the Union. The students running the Book Ex- change have received a cramped loca- tion in the League basement. This is unacceptable for an event which draws thousands of students, and unfair to the students who are trying to make the Book Exchange an accessible and af- fordable choice for everyone in the community. Ten years ago, there was a student run cooperative in the Union called the University Cellar which bought and sold textbooks at fair prices. However, when the Union basement underwent remodelling the U-Cellar was forced to leave the Union. Without its central lo- cation in the Union, the U-Cellar was soon forced into bankruptcy and closed in 1986. It is high time that the Union halls once again ring out with the sounds of students happily buying and selling textbooks at a student-run mar- ket. Even if the Student Book Exchange is inconveniently located, it is the best way for students to sell books for more and buy books for less. So keep your unwanted textbooks until the Exchange opens next term and don't buy any books until then, either. Using the Stu- dent Book Exchange makes all the cents in the world.
