Page 2-The Michigan Daily- Thursday, February 4, 1993 NORML Continued from page 1 during a meeting yesterday between Cianciola and several NORML members, is the latest development in a long-running conflict between the University and the group. The University has previously tried - unsuccessfully - to stop the 22-year-old tradition, in which thousands of people pour onto the Diag and surrounding courtyards to rally for marijuana legalization. Many of them get high in the pro- cess, to the University's chagrin. The University tried to deny NORML permits in 1990 and 1992, but both times a Washtenaw Circuit judge ordered the University to grant the permits. This year, the .University told NORML that in order to obtain a permit, it must: be a student organization regis- tered with MSA; pay the deficit in its student organization account and post $9,429 for estimated expenses; and, take responsibility for ensuring that no violations of University regu- lations occur on the Diag. Cianciola warned NORML in a Jan. 12 letter that if it does not "use University facilities in a manner consistent with University regula- tions," the group might not be able to use University facilities in the future. But Brook said NORML cannot be held accountable for everyone who participates in the Hash Bash. "If Charles Manson showed up on the Diag and opened fire on peo- ple, would NORML be held respon- sible? How come (coach) Gary Moeller is not held responsible when some kid pukes at a football game?" he said. The campus chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has also filed for a permit in order to secure the Diag April 3 for the Hash Bash. ACLU President David Schwartz said that if the University offers any resistance, the ACLU could respond with a First Amendment court battle. "If it comes to that, we feel confi- dent that we will win," Schwartz said. CLINTON Continued from page 1 Clinton's application of Biblical ref- erences, another student argued that the religious excerpts were inappropriate. "By using them, it's another way of sticking church in the government and church in the state and that's un- consitutional," said LSA junior Deana Solaiman. Solaiman continued by saying, "I think it accentuates how Clinton isn't ready to accommodate other faiths and ethnicities, but rather Judeo-Christian society. He's ad- dressing them because they're a very strong lobby." While Kline said he cannot judge Clinton's extent of Christianity, he said faith is not necessarily a factor in the presidency of the United States today.

"From a Christian perspective, it's good to have Christian leaders, but the real social change comes from God through people's hearts - not any one economic or social plan," Kline said. A devotee of another faith, LSA junior Kamran Bajwa, shared Kline's sentiments. Bajwa, who is president of the Islamic Circle, holds political con- cerns in foreign policy that deals with entities like Iraq, Israel, Somalia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. "The main problem I have with Clinton is one of the statements he made calling Israel a democracy," Bajwa said. Bajwa said he condemned the re- cent Israeli removal of Palestinians from their homes without due pro- cess and could not understand the "hypocritical pattern" of enforce- ment of U.N. resolutions in Iraq and Israel. He explained that the United States has not stopped Israel from breaking resolutions to set aside land for Palestinians, but continues to bomb Iraq without hesitation when Iraqi planes pass over the U.N.-des- ignated no-fly zone. But LSA sophomore Amy Kurlansky said she appreciated Clinton's loyalty to Israel, saying that the deportees were removed for being threats to Israel. "If the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) or ai.y of the other Arab countries in the re- gion had any concern for human rights, the PLO would have ac- cepted the 100 to be returned. Lebanon or Syria would have taken the others," she said. Bajwa added that he was con- cerned not enough action was being taken in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where Serbs and Bosnians continue to clash in a civil war. He said the Serbs have tortured Bosnians to the extent of Nazi death camps in World War POLICY Continued from page 1 only interpreted what he said, but the public reaction to it," he stated. "Clinton could well have started a new Middle East policy but not now." Yet, Iraq is not the only global hot spot or international issue with which Clinton will have to contend. Entangled ethnic strife and hatred in the former Yugoslavia make it a re- gion of continuing violence and for- eign policy concern. Aside from the problems in Russia proper, many also point to the former Soviet Union's arsenal of nuclear weapons as a major concern in foreign policy to control nuclear proliferation. LSA senior Dennis Jackson indi- cated that simply because the United States is the only superpower does not mean that the world is safe. "Yes, we're a superpower, but the Soviet Union has no less weapons than before; now we're not sure who's in control of them, crazed leaders can go in and buy weaponry." Yet Jackson added that he does not believe Clinton will have a large impact. He said, "I am confident that the government is large enough that he (Clinton) cannot make enough changes to be the demise of our country." II, and questioned why the United States bombed Iraq when the im- mediate humanitarian concern is in Bosnia-Herzegovina. "There's already so much resent- ment for the lack of action, that any action would be looked upon as too late," he said. LSA senior Kulneet Dang, who is a Sikh, also said he felt concerned about Clinton's inaction, though for different reasons. Dang, who would have appreci- ated an official statement regarding the December destruction of a 430 year-old Indian mosque thought to have been built on top of the birth- place of a Hindu god, said he ex- pects to soon hear a statement re- garding the status of Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs in India. He added that he feels Clinton would be receptive to the views of Sikhs. On domestic issues, Bajwa, Dang, Kline and Kurlansky each said government has become secu- larized, preventing any policies - even on issues such as abortion - from being infringements on reli- gious beliefs. "We have a choice not to have an abortion. It does not impose any- thing on us," Bajwa said. But Solaiman begged to differ. "As a Muslim, there is no way I can justify pro-choice," she said. She said she agreed with abortion in the case of rape or threat of a mother's life, but could not condone it as a form of birth control. "The woman decided to have sex with him. They have no choice but to take responsibility for their ac- tions," Solaiman said. Kline said disagreement on the issue of abortion occurs even within most religious groups. "The Bible does not speak clearly, 'Thou shall not have abor- tions.' There's room for disagree- ment," he said. Dani Reiter, a University gradu- ate student in political science, sus- pects that immediate troubles will be the type of pressing problems that Clinton will tackle. "Clinton doesn't have a grand policy vision. In foreign affairs,0 Clinton will be putting out fires rather than anticipating them," he said. Even without a "vision," foreign policy in the 1990s is going to in- clude much more than Cold-War era issues. Collier said he sees world health issues, specifically abortion, playing an increased role in the international * arena. Collier indicated a need for Clinton to challenge America's political opponents of abortion - the Republican Right and the Roman Catholic Church. "Clinton has got to take on the American opponents of abortion. For not being able to assist countries in birth control - we are looking at an international health problem which immediately comes back to abor-@ tion," he said. "And while it's a for- eign policy issue, it's a re-election issue, yet Clinton may well take it on." The consensus on foreign policy seems to be post-Cold War confu- sion. Not quite knowing where to go or how to act, scholars and politi- cians appear to be floundering in un- known waters.
