THIS DAY In Daily History * Activist calls for stocks of suicide pills in face of war Nov. 10, 1984 - At a press confer- ence sponsored by Students Against Nuclear Suicide, Brown University activist Jason Salzman told a group of University students that they should push for University Health Services to stock suicide pills. While admitting that the idea of stocking suicide pills was unconvention- al, Salzman said, "At least we've gotten people to think about (nuclear war.)" Salzman had previously led a suc- cessful campaign to pass a student referendum demanding that Brown University stock the pills, though offi- cials at the school declined to heed the A nnnhdina vote. Nazi crimes evoke memory of like abuses By Ann Beisch For the Daily One of the most tragic, unforgettable days of the Jews' oppression under Nazi Germany was com- memorated yesterday. The 66th anniversary of Kristallnacht - or the "Night of Broken Glass,"which consisted of organized Nazi raids against Jewish homes and synagogues on Nov. 9 and 10, 1938 - was commemorated on the Diag in a two-part event to remember and reflect on the violation of human rights under the Third Reich and around the world. The first half of the day included a display of quo- tations meant to spark insight in passersby, such as: "Peace or Justice: which would you choose," or, "Is it possible to forgive?" Students wrote down their various opinions on a sheet of paper provided below. Among the remarks were written, "You can forgive, but you can't forget" and "I will never forgive" "The Holocaust is not just a Jewish problem, it is a representation of the human rights violations," said LSA senior Jeremy Lacks, co-chair of the Kristall- nacht Commemoration. "We have expanded our focus, instead ofjust dealing with the Holocaust." That meant remembering other atrocities that have taken place during the past century. These events were represented by various photographs, art objects and quotations pasted on the display. On one side, child laborers in Pakistan were shown next to a photograph of brutalized Pakistani women. Another section of the display showed a Rwandan woman staring at hun- dreds of human skulls thrown into a ditch as a result of the 1994 civil war in the country. Startling statistics were posted as well, including, 1.5 million Armenians have been killed by Turks from 1915-1921." "We are putting this on so that people will remem- ber," said LSA junior Jillian Steinhaurer, who helped man the station. "History can only repeat itself if we allow it to happen. It's our responsibility to be informed and active to ensure the safety of our future." The second part of the commemoration included a speakers' panel on human rights violations in the Vandenburg Room of the Michigan League later yes- terday. The panel was presented by the University's Hillel group, which is also organizing the 26th annual commemorative Conference on the Holocaust from March 15 to 23. Among the speakers was history Prof Sidney Bolkosky, who has conducted interviews with more than 200 survivors of the Holocaust and now teaches at the University's Dearborn campus. Contributing to the discussion on global human rights violations were LSA Humanities Institute Prof. Jose Kagabo - who spoke about the Rwandan genocide - and RC lectur- er Javed Nazir, who spoke on problems with human rights in Pakistan. Planners of the commemoration said they intended the day to keep the student body aware of the human abuses that have occurred throughout history, in order to prevent them from happening again. The sentiments of some of the attendees indicated that the event was successful in this regard. One message on the Diag board for example, read, "If it were not for our personal memory, we would cease to prog- ress as rational humans." MIKE HULSEBUS/Daily LSA Junior Nicole Kruz looks at a display on the Diag yesterday, to commemorate Kristall- nacht. The display aimed to get their thoughts on the tragic event and human rights abuses. Violence continues to erupt on Ivory Coast ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) - Ivory Coast security forces fired on armed attackers yester- day as thousands of angry government loyal- ists massed outside a French evacuation post for foreigners, reportedly killing seven people and wounding 200 in violence pitting France against its former prize colony. Denying any responsibility, France's mili- tary said loyalist demonstrators opened fire as a French convoy left the post, and Ivorian secu- rity forces returned fire. The bloodletting erupted at a onetime luxury hotel French forces have commandeered as an evacuation center for 1,300 French and other foreigners rescued from rampages across the commercial capital, Abidjan. An Associated Press photographer saw the bodies of three demonstrators outside a hospi- tal, their bodies draped in Ivorian flags. The chaos in Ivory Coast, the world's top cocoa producer and WestAfrica's former eco- nomic powerhouse, broke out Saturday when Ivory Coast warplanes killed nine French peacekeepers and an American aid worker in an airstrike on the rebel-held north. France wiped out the nation's air force on the tarmac in retaliation, sparking anti-French rampages by thousands in the fiercely national- ist south. The U.N. Security Council yesterday gave wide support to a resolu- impose sanctions against Ivory Coast if the coun- try's government and reb- els don't return to a peace process by the beginning of December, som diplo- mats said. "It's much more effec- tive if you hold a gun to their head, rather than pull the trigger," Pakistan's U.N. Ambassador Munir Akram said.

Yesterday, stunned protesters filled cal solution to the crisis, said before yesterday's shooting that Gbagbo had recommitted to car- rying out tension-easing measures agreed to in past accords in the country's 2-year-old civil war. On Monday, Ivory Coast and French generals called on protesters to go home after state radio and TV had urged them to mass at Gbagbo's home and a nearby broadcast center. French leaders have said they hold Gbagbo - installed by his supporters in 2000 after an aborted vote count in presidential elections - responsible for Saturday's airstrike and sub- sequent anti-foreigner rampages. U.N. Security Council diplomats weighed a French-backed draft resolution for an arms embargo of Ivory Coast and a travel ban and asset freeze of those blocking peace, violating human rights and preventing the disarmament of combatants. China was balking at the mea- sures, diplomats said.

(AP) - A juror in the Scott Peterson mur- der trial who apparently did her own research on the case was removed and replaced with an alternate yes- terday, and the judge ordered the panel to "start all over again" with their deliberations. "We're going to send you back. Start all over again and keep in touch," Judge Alfred Delucchi told the panel on the fifth day of delibera- tions. It was not immediately clear what the woman, a retired utility compa- ny employee, specifically did to get kicked off the jury. But a source told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity that she had apparently disobeyed the judge's orders to consider only the evidence presented at the trial. "You must decide all questions of fact in this case from the evidence received in this trial and not from any other resource," the judge said. "The people and the defendant have the right to a verdict reached only after full participation." The judge removed the juror after meeting behind closed doors with lawyers in the case. A day earlier, Delucchi lectured the jury about the importance of deliberating with an open mind, prompting speculation among trial observers that the panel could be reaching a deadlock. Peterson, 32, is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of his wife, Laci, and the fetus she carried. Prosecutors claim Peterson killed Laci around Christmas Eve 2002, then dumped her weighted body from his boat into San Francisco Bay. The jury has two choices should they decide to convict Peterson - first- or second-degree murder. A first-degree conviction would mean jurors believe Peterson planned the killings in advance, and it could carry the death penalty of life with- REGISTRAR'S BULLETIN BOARD WINTER TERM 2005 REGISTRATION Backpack is now available for Winter Term 2005.
