NEWS The Michigan Daily - Friday, December 2, 2005 - 7 WPALESTINIANS Continued from page 1 munity about the effects of politics on culture and daily life, as opposed to the political activ- ism of SAFE. "There's very much a defining line between the two organizations," Salhi said. "I'm sure that we will respect that." PSA's first solo event will be a showing of "Paradise Now," a film about two young Pal- estinians recruited as suicide bombers, at the Michigan Theater on Dec. 16. The group will offer discounted tickets to the movie and host a discussion afterward, Foty said. "(The film) is just an excellent portrayal of the types of dilemmas Palestinians go through daily," she said. "Hopefully it promotes a lot of dialogue among people who are open-minded, even within the Jewish community or the American mainstream community." Another example of the deep-seated link between Palestinian culture and politics can be seen in traditional dances, which often have themes revolving around the impor- tance of land, Foty added. Palestinians do AID Continued from page 1 because the House bill would no longer allow for students to lock into a low rate by consolidating their loans while they are still in school. "Students across the country are already in a deep financial hole, and this bill will make that hole deeper and could affect the decisions of students debating whether to attend college and assume that financial risk," Swarthout said. Passing of the legislation was a struggle, particularly in the House, where the bill not currently have their own country, but they have claimed the right to land that became part of Israel when the country was founded in 1948. Without a state of their own, it is sometimes difficult for Palestinians to maintain their cultural heritage, Salhi said. "A lot of it is trying to preserve our culture throughout one occupation to the next," she added. For Palestinian students, PSA will provide a place to meet others on cam- pus with the same cultural heritage and a chance to participate in activities such as the dance troupe Atfal Filisteen Dabka and community service in low-income Palestinian neighborhoods in the Detroit area, Foty said. Exposure to Palestinian cultural. events will also help to differentiate this community from other Arab groups, Salhi said. "In the majority of people's minds, 'Arab' is kind of an all-encompassing word," she said. "(But) we are not by any means a monolithic people." passed with a margin of only two votes. With no support from House Democrats, the debate came down to the moderate Republicans and their views toward the threatened social programs. This is the first time that a budget rec- onciliation process has been used since 1997. If no agreement is reached between the two bodies of Congress, spending levels would remain at the current level. BIRD FLU Continued from page 1 "In any kind of an event - be it a communicable disease or a disaster like Katrina - we're not well prepared" because there are simply not enough hospital beds, he said. Given the high mortality rate of the avian flu, Winfield pointed out that an outbreak on campus could have drastic con- sequences. In a typical flu epidemic, 50 percent of people in the affect- ed area become sick, he said. Out of about 40,000 students, faculty and staff at the Univer- sity, that means 20,000 could fall ill. With the disease claiming the lives of more than half its victims, "that would be unbe- lievable," said Winfield. Another concern is a lack of bird flu remedies. University Health Services has stashed 150 units of Tamiflu, an antivi- ral drug used to combat regular flu. The University Hospital has additional units, but these would not be enough in the case of an outbreak, Winfield said. No vaccination has yet been concocted, although drug com- panies have started research funded by federal grants. Yet some students think the preparation could be an over- reaction. Jacquelyn Zacny, a senior in LSA, said she hadn't heard much about bird flu, but that she recognized the danger. "It's important to be real- istic that this could happen. But it's similar to (fears about) Y2K," she said, referring to widespread concern in the late 1990s that a software glitch would render many computers and computer-assisted vehicles and appliances useless on the first day of 2000. "Preparing isn't a bad idea, but taking it too far and letting it consume everyone could be bad." Third-year Law student Aaron Mace, who said he gets the flu "almost every year," agreed, saying "it's excessive probably," but added that he will probably get a flu shot this year if he can. GUITAR GUY HIGHER ED Continued from page 1 movement. MOS has argued in its literature that "misplaced priorities have resulted in envi- ronmental destruction, illegiti- mate war, and the exploitation of communities." White said the fragmentation of student activist groups has decreased student interest and those groups' effectiveness. He said he hopes MOS will be able to unify various campus groups because "it will enable us (progressives) to help each other."

Similarly, it's a good day to explore publishing and the media. (Avoid firm decisions until tomorrow.) TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Do something today to secure your future in a practical way, especially your old-age years. You are a sign that believes in well-planned endings. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Now is the time to sit down with part- ners and close friends and hash out details about agreements or disagree- ments. However, wait until tomorrow to make final agreements. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You're prepared to work long, hard hours at work today. You want results. You're more concerned with tomorrow than you are with today right now. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Romantic relationships might finally shift to a committed level. It's a good day for discussions about taking care of children. VIRGO SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is not a good day to shop. Ironically, it's a good day to research what you want to shop for. Make your actual purchases tomorrow. You're very serious about money today. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You're thinking about your long-term future. You're wondering how to best invest your time and money so that you will have few regrets as you get older.
