WAR
Continued from Page 1
In Washington, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wol-
fowitz said that although the Taliban have fallen, the
military faced the tough task of tracking down bin
Laden and'eliminating al-Qaida.
"Large numbers of al-Qaida terrorists are still at
large. It's going to be a very long and difficult job," he
said.
Afghanistan's interim leader, Hamid Karzai, said
getting rid of al-Qaida was a priority as the country
tries to build a stable post-Taliban government.
"What Afghanistan needs is the full establishment of
a national state, but first we must root out all the ter-
rorists," he told journalists in the former house of Tal-
iban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar in
Kandahar. "We must burn out all these roots."
Karzai promised there would be no amnesty for the
cleric if he were caught. Omar has disappeared since
the Taliban abandoned Kandahar, their birthplace and
last major city, on Friday.
The Pentagon said it targeted a cave in the Tora Bora
area with its largest conventional bomb, the 15,000-
pound "daisy cutter," on Sunday on suspicion the cave
might contain senior al-Qaida leaders, possibly includ-
ing bin Laden. Spokesman Rear Adm. John Stuffle-
beem said damage from the strike was not known.
Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that intelli-
gence reports indicate bin Laden is hiding in Tora
Bora, a complex of caves and tunnels carved into the
White Mountains near the Pakistani border.
INTERVIEWS
Continued from Page 1
participated in five interviews. Ann Arbor com-
munity members last Monday requested police
participation in the interviews.
The office of the U.S. Deputy Attorney General
issued a memorandum to anti-terrorism task force
members last month detailing question guidelines
for the interviews. According to the memo, offi-
cials should request to see the passport and visa of
the individual, obtain all telephone numbers used
by the individual and inquire the identities about
the people living with the individual.
"There are some parts of questions we're not
answering," Cahill said. "Like phone numbers of
friends and family -that's the big one."
The memo also states that if the individual is on
a student visa, the official should learn about his
studies and future plans.
Cahill said although the FBI said it will ignore
minor immigration law violations, questions must
be handled carefully because the immigration law
details are complicated.
The memo states that if an individual is in vio-
lation of federal immigration laws, the Immigra-
tion and Naturalization Service should be
contacted.
Although the purpose of the interview is not to
evaluate the legality of a person's immigration sta-
tus, the memo states that federal responsibility to
enforce immigration laws is important.
"I would say that people should definitely have
a lawyer through the ACLU or student legal ser-
vices," Cahill said.
Letters were sent to men of Middle Eastern
descent between the ages of 18 and 33 who
entered the United States on student, business or
tourist visas since January 2000.
"How do you put a deadline on a voluntary
request?" asked Wendy Wagenheim, communica-
tions director for the ACLU of Michigan.
Wagenheim said the ACLU's Detroit office has
handled several dozens of letter recipients and has
trained 30 attorneys in the interview process.
"Our primary concern is for them to take an
attorney with them to the interview and know their
rights," she said.
Along with other ACLU attorneys, Cahill is
providing free legal service to individuals who
have received letters.
The ACLU was criticized last week by some
community members for providing free service,
representing foreigners and informing them of
their rights.
Officials hope to complete the interviews before
Dec. 21.
For more information about the interview
process, letter recipients can call (734) 652-0345
to set up an appointment with Arab and Muslim
leaders, lawyers or translators. The ACLU has a
hotline at (734) 769-0753 or (313) 578-6806.
Students, faculty and staff can contact Student
Legal Services at 763-9920.
ity stu- as Students of Color of Rackham, wel-
raduate comed me into the community."
Tracee Washington, member of the
of Stu- Black Student Psychology Associa-
said he tion, said she believes minority stu-
ools are dents are underrepresented in
psychology graduate studies nation-
ee from wide. But she said the University's
a, a his- program is more diverse than other
wis said programs she considered.
.cture of "For graduate study in psychology,
Is. I think U-M is one of the best places to
s a very be at due to the many opportunities
ergradu- that are available to us and the breadth
n of the of training. It would, of course, be bet-
e added ter if there were more students of
f Michi- color, although compared to psycholo-
d by the gy departments around the country, U-
ate stu- M's psychology department is more
esent at diverse than most. Given the lack of
versity, diversity in the field psychology, how-
ns such ever, that is not saying much."
ADMISSIONS

but that there needs to be more aware-
ness from the communities and
encouragement for minority students
to enter higher education," Sanchez
said.
Nine University graduate programs
are ranked in the top 10 in the country
by U.S. News and World Report,
including the School of Social Work,
which was ranked No. 1 in 2000.
Among the other nationally recognized
programs at the University are the Law
School, the School of Education, the
College of Engineering and the Med-
ical School.
Some of these programs have a
more outspoken commitment to main-
taining diversity within their programs.
Katie Horn, director of admissions for
the Medical School, said the Center
for Individual Rights, the Washington-
based law firm suing the Law School
and the College of Literature, Science,
in the Arts, for their use of race as a
factor in admission, closely examined
the Medical School's admissions poli-
cies as well but chose not to file suit
because the Medical Schoo} requires
every applicant to have a personal
interview and does not simply rely on
numbers.
Of 170 slots in the Medical School's
2000 class, 15 percent went to minori-
ties, Horn said.
"We have a commitment to diversity
and to providing physicians who will
serve in the future to underserved pop-
ulations," including rural and inner-
city areas, Horn added.
The Rackham Graduate Admissions
office was unable to provide specific
data on the number of minor
dents currently enrolled in g
school programs.

sciences.
Michael Boyd, associate director
of the Royal Shakespeare Company,
spoke on the quality of the partner-
ship between the University and the
RSC that formed under Bollinger's
leadership. Bollinger is a member
of the company's board of direc-
tors.
"It is very unusual that a president
of a university should take such per-
sonal responsibility for such a major
patronage in the arts," Boyd said. "It
certainly brought change in a good
way to the RSC. It's started us on a
journey of collaboration with North
America."
Boyd also announced that he plans
to begin teaching drama and English at
the University next year as a result of
the partnership.
Jean Bollinger, an artist who has a
studio in Dexter, spoke before her hus-
band abo'ut how difficult it will be to
leave friends in Ann Arbor, the city
she has called home for the last 27
years.
"One has very strong feelings about
the University and Ann Arbor, because
we've had so many life experiences
here," she said. "The pleasure for me
has been living in the middle of the
campus."
LSA sophomore Mitchell Klein said
he is disappointed that he missed the
opportunity to take Bollinger's politi-
cal science class on freedom of speech
and the press. Bollinger is a renowned
First Amendment scholar.
"I sat through his class last week,"
said Klein, who is considering apply-
ing to law school after graduation. "He
turned on my passion for political sci-
ence once again."
Highlighting projects he hoped to
see continued after his departure,
Bollinger said he is optimistic about
architectural plans for soon-to-be-built
buildings around campus, adding that
"if they are dull buildings, there will
be dull education.
He also said he will miss a sense of
community unparalleled at any other
institution,
"Every time I see the U of M sym-
bol on the side of a truck or car, I
know that I'm going to wave because I
know they are going to wave at me.
How many institutions can you say
that about?" he asked.
Food for Thought
History
"Anti-war" protestors
claim that they ended
the Vietnam War, saving
thousands of lives.
Are those claims justified,
or are they merely
justifying their actions?
VOTING
Continued from Page 1
"People still have a right to vote
a straight Democratic or Republi-
can ticket," he said.
Washtenaw County Clerk Peggy
Haines, a Republican and former
president of the Michigan Associa-
tion of County Clerks, opposes the
bill. She said it will make the act of
voting harder.
"It's hard to support any initiative
that bogs down the election
process," she said. "Even with a
long history of straight party bal-
lots, we (in Michigan) have a track
record of splitting our votes any-
way."
Voters can override an automatic
straight-ticket by voting for indi-
vidual candidates of an opposing
party.
Bullard's proposal was already
approved by the Senate, but since it
was amended in the House, the bill,
with minor alterations, was sent
back to the Senate. Aaron Keesler,
a spokesman for Senate Majority
Leader Dan DeGrow (R-Port
Huron), said he believes the bill
will most likely be brought up for a
vote this week, just before the Leg-
islature begins a month-long*recess.
LSA senior Chinelo Amen-Ra,
who voted for all Democratic can-
didates but did not use the straight-
ticket option on last year's ballot,
said he was opposed to the propos-
al.
"That may deter some people
from filling in the bubbles. They
might vote for president and that's
it," Amen-Ra said.
JUDAIC STUDIES
Continued from Page 1
Michigan's program was approved in October.
The University's undergraduate Judaic studies
program has been around since 1971, although
work on the new program was only started recently.
"We've been rather conservative toward adding
new programs because we have a reputation for our

emphasis on quality, which is why this has taken so
long," Gitelman said.
The coming semester's program has seven appli-
cants, and more are expected next fall.
First to enroll in the program was Greg Epstein, a
recent graduate of the University who is now study-
ing to be a humanistic rabbi. Epstein said he feels a
master's in Judaic studies would help him in the
future.
Humanistic rabbinical training focuses on Judaic
cultural roots. It studies the Jewish texts from the
view point of having been written by humans.
"Doing Judaic studies as a grad student is really
amazing because you can mix the best parts of your
tradition with a very humanistic outlook," Epstein said.
Epstein said he never considered .himself a reli-
gious person but decided to become a humanistic
rabbi after graduating from the University.
