mm The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, December 11, 2001- 7 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 Continued from Page 1 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. Heureux Lewis, a member dents of Color of Rackham, finds that the individual schc very independent.

The Uni through support of organizatio BOLLINGER Continued from Page 1 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 the michigan daily NEED A FEW EXTRA BUCKS?

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. 1D 0 WsI!i 0J Winter Term Apply now at the Law Library- . non-Law Students " Law Students SS.I Students Minimum pay is $8.50 per hour! ***EARLY SPRING Break Specials!
