But one group aims to educate the community about these events through physical memorials around campus. The University Commit- tee on History and Tradi- tions maintains 26 plaques and markers on campus that contain information about people, events and structures considered sig- nificant to Universityhisto- ry. Through these symbols, the committee seeks to keep events - like John F. Kennedy's 1960 speech that helped launch the Peace Corps - vibrant in students' minds long after they take campus tours. Former University Presi- dent James Duderstadt formed the committee in 1991 to lead the preserva- tion of University history, according to the commit- tee's website. The director of the Bentley Historical Library - which keeps all the Uni- versity's archives and his- torical documents as well as information about the state - is required to serve on the committee, as dic- tated by the committee's rules on membership. The committee answers directly to University Mary Sue Coleman and is responsible for advising the president on questions concerning University tra- ditions and historical con- text. According to the com- mittee's website, the last plaque was installed in 2006, when seven mark- ers were placed in various places on campus, includ- ing in Hill Auditorium, the Law Quadrangle and the William L. Clements Library. -DEVON THORSBY Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com PhotographySection photo@michigandaiy.com tlassitfied Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance fnance@michigandalycom DANIELLETOLL/Daily Ann Arbor residents unite on the corner of South University and South Forest avenues to protest the lack of local jobs available.

After pleading from the uprising's leaders, Brit- ain and France began drafting a U.N. resolution for a no-fly zone in Libya that could balance the scales. President Barack Obama warned that the U.S. and its NATO allies are still considering military options to stop what he called "unacceptable" violence by Gadhafi's regime. NATO decided to boost flights of AWACs surveil- lance planes over Libya from 10 to 24 hours a day, the U.S. Ambas- sador to NATO Ivo Daalder said. "I want to send a very clear message to those who are around Colonel Gadhafi. It is their choice to make how they operate mov- ing forward. And they will be held accountable for whatever violence continues to take place," Obama said during remarks in the Oval Office yesterday. Libyan warplanes launched multiple airstrikes yesterday on opposition fighters regrouping at the oil port of Ras Lanouf on the Mediterranean coast a day after they were driven back by a heavy government counteroffensive aimed at stopping the rebel drive toward Tripoli, Gadhafi's strong- hold. One strike hit near a gas station in Ras Lanouf, blasting two large craters in the road and wounding at least two people in a pick up truck. The rebels oppose any West- ern ground troops deploying in Libya, but they're pressing for a no-fly zone to relieve them of the threat from the air. The reb- els can take on "the rockets and the tanks, but not Gadhafi's air force," said Ali Suleiman, a rebel fighter at Ras Lanouf. "We don't want a foreign military interven- tion (on the ground), but we do want a no-fly zone. We are all waiting for one." Arab Gulf countries joined the calls for a no-fly zone, with the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates saying a confer- ence of his country's neighbors that the U.N. Security Council should "shoulder its historical responsibility for protecting the Libyan people." Still, Western military inter- vention does not seem imminent - and the warnings may be an attempt to intimidate Gadhafi with words before deeds. British and French officials said the no- fly resolution was being drawn up as a contingency and it has not been decided whether to put it before the U.N. Security Council, where Russia holds veto power and has rejected such a move. Western officials have said a no- fly zone does not require a U.N. mandate, but they would prefer to have one. 0 Egyptian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf speaks during a press conference yesterday in Cairo, Egypt.

Forty-seven police officers and soldiers were jailed after an investigation found they were among those who burned docu- ments and destroyed computers at the Nasr City building, the attorney general's office said yesterday. The State Security agency, which employs about 100,000 of Egypt's 500,000-strong security forces, is blamed for the worst human rights abuses against Mubarak's opponents. Dismantling the agency has been a key demand of the protest groups that led the uprising. In another sign of the simmer- ing unrest in Egypt, thousands of Coptic Christians protested in Cairo yesterday to demand an end to the discrimination they say the minority faces. The crowds were also angry over a dispute between a Christian and a Muslim family south of Cairo over the weekend that resulted in the deaths of two people and the torching of a church. Egypt's military promised to rebuild the church, but the pro- testers said they wanted more steps to improve the status of Christians. 0
