2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 14, 1994 COPPOLA Continued from page 1 science teachers often buy into the negative press their subjects receive. "A natural science teacher is its own worst enemy," Coppola said. He said these teachers must work to over- come the images that portray their subjects as difficult and boring. Learning how to overcome diffi- cult situations is one of Coppela's strong points. He said the idea for his speech originated on a cold Novem- ber morning when he was heading to his teaching job at the University of Wisconsin. Coppola's car would not start. Frustrated by not being able to fix his engine, he thought about all the things he knew about engines and invented a way to fix it. At that point, "I was ecstatic. I found my purpose - a problem solver." Later in his speech, Coppola used the engine as a metaphor for this purpose. "The engine was what drives me professionally." Coppola criticized liberal arts edu- cators for setting up too many bound- aries between different fields of study. "It's not an evil to disintegrate, but an evil not to re-integrate (fields of study)," Coppola said. He also encouraged both teachers and students to take responsibility for learning. "Teachers buy into the game and take on too much responsibility by themselves," something Coppola said every instructor should work to avoid. Coppola later showed a slide of lots of black and white clumps, ex- plaining that it is necessary to take what onethas learned to relate it to "the big picture." He said it was a picture of a dog, and for students not to give up on problems until they see "the dog." After Coppola finished speaking, the audience lauded his message. LSA senior Venu Pillarisetty, a former stu- dent of Coppola's, said he thought the lecturer's most important point was "his idea that learning is the real mis- sion of the University." Aaron Thorton, a first-year engi- neering student, said, "I didn't want to go (to the speech) when my room- mate told me a chemistry teacher was being honored and speaking, but Dr. Coppola made it humorous and inter- esting. It wasn't like attending an- other chem lecture." Coppola was introduced by his associate and friend, Chemistry As- sistant Chemistry Prof. William H. Pearson, who said the University has "a real gem" in Coppola.

Probably not, but each of these will help to highlight Earth Week today thanks to the Michigan Student Assembly's Environmental Issues Commission. A schedule of environmental ac- tivities will take place all over cam- pus today, culminating in a video and slide presentation titled, "Dolphins, Whales, Tigers. Endangered Species and the Politics of Extinction." The presentation will be given by Samuel LaBudde of the Marine Mam- mal Foundation. LaBudde has worked in many countries to halt species ex- ploitation and the illegal killing of mammals. He was also a founding force in the movement to urge the use of dolphin-safe tuna. "He goes all over the world and works with species who are being exploited," said MSA Environmental Issues Chair Michelle Ferrerase. The undercover slide and video presentation will begin at 6 p.m. in Room 1046 of the Dana Building and will be followed by a free reception serving a variety of organic foods. Other activities include a water- condom toss sponsored by Students for Zero Population Growth and a performance by Chameleon's Dish, both beginning at noon on the Diag. "It's a great idea to get people educated about overpopulation and overconsumption issues," said SNRE junior Kate Buckingham about the water-condom toss. There will be a drum and music session from 9 p.m. to midnight at the Guild House at Oakland and Monroe streets, sponsored by Eye of the Spi- ral, a student group dedicated to spiri- tuality. spread environmental damage, Plater stressed. Despite the rate of growth, key elements in decreasing human impact include reducing carbon dioxide emis- sions, food consumption and waste production. .....- - -.. ........-..---mm, .- FREE r Unlimited Phone Calls r ,r to 76-GUIDE, (4-8433) r the U of M peer counseling line.r r If you have a problem (BIG or small), r call anytime between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. -- - POPULATION Continued from page 1 million people a year.

They include Rahamim Mazgawker, a 33-year-old Ethiopian immigrant from Hadera; David Muyal, 27, from Tel Aviv, who was riding the bus as part of the training to become a driver; and Sgt. Ari Perlmutter, 19, of Ovot. Names of the others were with- held until their relatives could be told. The injured included two Israeli Arabs and 18 soldiers, Israel radio said. Most suffered slight injuries. There were about 70 people on the bus when the bomb exploded. The Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was to avenge the deaths of 30 Palestinian worshipers killed by a Jewish settler at the mosque in Hebron. Mohammed Nazzal, the Hamas rep- resentative in Jordan, said the group's military wing, Izzeddin Al-Qassam Brigades, was responsible and had vowed a total of five attacks to avenge the mosque massacre. PLO leader Yasser Arafat con- demned Wednesday's attack. "These attacks target only the innocents, on both sides, Israelis and Palestinians, and serve only to hit at the heart of the peace process," Arafat said in Strasbourg, France. Israeli-Arabs were among the victims in both Wednesday's attack and the suicide car bomb on April 6 that killed seven Israelis and wounded 45 in the northern town of Afula. Israel has closed its borders to all 1.8 million Palestinians in the occupied territories since the April 6 attack. But Rabin noted thatha complete seal was not possible given that 10,000 Israeli- registered cars, many belonging to set- tlers, cross the line daily. Yesterday's attack sparked angry reactions in Hadera, a working class town. More than 50 protesters gathered near the bus station chanting "Death to the Arabs!" and "Rabin is a Traitor!" Right-wing opposition leaders called for annulling the Sept. 13 peace agreement with the PLO and for Rabin RWANDA Continued from page 1 week. A joint International Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders convoy of nine vehicles carrying two surgical teams and 25 tons of medical supplies reached Kigali from Bujumbura, the capital of neighboring Burundi. Later yesterday, the Red Cross began feed- ing Rwandan refugees in Kigali. The relief convoy was the first to reach the blood-soaked capital since the bloodshed erupted. Doctors Without Borders field officials said 150,000 to 200,000 people are fleeing in every direction from central Rwanda to seek safety in Zaire, Burundi, Tanzania and Uganda. "Many, many people have been killed," said Phillippe Gaillard, head of the International Committee of the KEVORKIAN Continued from page 1 lected an estimated 100,000 signa- tures - one-fifth of the goal. This Ann Arbor congregation has a direct link to Kevorkian's work. Church member Marian Fredrick ended her life with his assistance. Ken Shapiro, a man who has lived with terminal cancer through 17 years and 50 surgeries,joined Kevorkian in a panel discussion. Dr. Ronald Bishop moderated the talk. Kevorkian, who is a University alum, said the amendment harkens back to the time when the U.S. Con- stitution was drafted. "What we're doing now is extend- ing the Bill of Rights. That's all we're doing," Kevorkian said, explaining that assisted suicide is a right. "You can take my liberty away, but you can't take my right away." Kevorkian called the troops to battle by saying, "It's a worldwide issue and we in Michigan are going to lead the way for the first time in human history and it's fun." He brushed away fears that a Michigan ballot amendment would die like ballot amendments in Cali- fornia and Washington. He asserted the language of the local amendment Red Cross in Kigali. "Everyone is fighting here. The army is fighting the RPF (rebels). Part of the civilian popu lation is fighting against the other part of the civilian pof lation. The people are fighting against their own broth- ers, and this is very sad." A heavily armed column of Bel- gian troops rescued 18 foreigners yes- terday from the Ndere psychiatric hospital north of the airport. As the convoy arrived, 500 ethni* Tutsi refugees camped in one of the compound's buildings rushed out with their hands up, pleading for help. They were left behind, along with 200 mentally ill Rwandans living in the hospital. Army troops and rebel soldiers engaged in mortar duels in the center of Kigali, and fired at each other over the international airport. The army appeared to be low on ammunition, said Capt. Eric Millet, a French of- ficer. proposal does not allow room for criti cism. He rebuked the concept that Right to Life and the Catholic church could build a campaign strong enough to defeat the proposed amendment. Assisted suicide is a medical is- sue, not a religious one, he said.* "Maybe I'm oversimplifying this, but a competent person has a medical problem, he goes to a medical doctor who calls consultants," he said. The doctor, who has been impris- oned for assisting 20 patients commit suicide, said he will continue his fight. "I'm facing trial, do I look worried?" he asked. "Under such trials, the only place of honor for a man is jail." Petition circulator and Registered Nurse Victoria Finley said she feels strongly about this issue. "I have seem, during the 40 years I have had as a nurse, the tremendous amount of pain people have been put through," Finley said. The amendment circulated by Finley, Jayna Eckler and other mem- bers of MERCY, the Movement to Ensure the Right to Choose for Your-W self, reads: "The right of competent adults, who are incapacitated by in- curable medical conditions, to volun- tarily request and receive medical assistance with respect to whether or not their lives continue, shall not be abridged."
