My staple course every fall is Law and Philosophy. We talk about equality under the law, especially in the U.S. Constitu- tion. I've been teaching it since the 1990s. The course fulfills the race and ethnicity requirement, so I do want to get students thinking about the meanings of race and the realities of racial inequality in the United States and how the law can be used as an 'instrument to promote equality. How did you come to work in philosophy at the Univer- sity? I came here in 1987 right after earning my Ph.D. at Har- vard where I studied with John Rawls - the very famous John Rawls. Michigan made me an offer, and it was the best offer I had, so I came here. You're working on a his- tory of egalitarianism. How's that going? The dominant view is known as luck egalitarianism, which says that what's unjust is any- one being worse off than anyone else on the basis of pure luck. My view is that egalitarianism real- ly isn't about luck or un-luck, it's fundamentally about eliminat- ing oppression. Its main focus should be on unequal social relations between people. What's your teaching phi- losophy? My main philosophy is get- ting students thinking for them- selves. That's really the heart of higher education. It's not just receiving a lot of information from the instructor but learning how to do stuff with it on your own. What's next for you? I am now the director of the soon-to-be-launched Philoso- phy, Politics and Economics concentration. Students will take courses from all three units. I hope students will keep their ears pricked for more information. The first course offering under the designation PPE will be taught by me next winter. - KINNARD HOCKENHULL Newsroom 734-418-4115 opt.3 Corrections correctionsamichigandaily.com Arts ect odloiaPt Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineads@michigandaily.com 'News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to thetEditor tothedaily@mich igandaily.com opinion@irhigaodaily.com Photography Section photo@Sichigandaily.com Classified Sales classifed@m ich igandaily.co'm Finance finance@michigandaily.com a Gloria Gleason stitches handkerchiefs for families at the 15th annual Candle Lighting For Hope and Rememberance.

Leading Mexican gangs make presence known Zetas drug cartel recently accused of crimes, including attacking civilians VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) - A gang known to be aligned with Mexico's most-wanted drug lord appears to be making a violent challenge to the dominant Zetas Cartel in the Gulf state of Vera- cruz, dumping 35 bodies on a busy avenue in front of horri- fied motorists near where the nation's top prosecutors were about to start a convention. The cartel known as the New Generation unloaded the bound, seminude, tortured bodies dur- ing rush hour Tuesday as part of a several-month campaign to take the strategic port of Vera- cruz now controlled by the Zetas drug gang, an official in the Mexican armed forces told The. Associated Press on yesterday. All 35 victims, who included 12 women and two minors, were linked to the Zetas cartel, said the official, who couldn't be quoted by name for security rea- sons. It was the first official acknowledgment of who may have carried out the attack after a banner left at the scene threat- ened the Zetas and bore the ini- tials "G.N." A U.S. law enforcement offi- cial said the New Generation is believed to be linked to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, widely con- sidered the world's wealthiest drug trafficker. But the U.S. official, who also could not be quoted by name for security reasons, said it would be surprising to see heavy involve- ment in Veracruz by Guzman or his Sinaloa cartel, which is based in the Pacific coast state of the same name on the other side of Mexico. "We don't have anything that corroborates or disputes" that the body dumping was linked to Guzman, the U.S. official said, adding that other sources say the Gulf Cartel could have been responsible. "Sometimes these criminal groups blame the other guys." Drug trafficking in Veracruz was long controlled by the Gulf Cartel. But the business has been taken over by the Zetas, who had acted as enforcers for the Gulf Cartel before breaking away in early 2010 and waging a bloody war with their former allies across northeastern Mexico. The Zetas presence in Vera- cruz has grown since the gov- ernment launched a crackdown late last year in their main base of Tamaulipas, a border state to the north. But the gang has also been hit hard in Veracruz by Mexican army and navy opera- tions, leaving them weakened and vulnerable to challenges from rival gangs, the Mexican 1 military official said. This Gulf coast city is Mexi- co's busiest port for commercial goods. The official said there is no way to inspect all the contain- ers coming in. He said many of 0 the drug smuggled in come from Central American, an area where the Zetas have been expanding. The state is also a main transit route for cocaine and migrants coming from the Guatemalan border. The Zetas have con- trolled the corridor, the Mexican official said. A banner left with the bodies Tuesday criticized the Zetas for killing innocents and charging extortion, warning: "No more." The Mexican officical said the New Generation gang has been carrying out what it calls "sur- gical" attacks that target Zetas only and no civilians. Security expert Raul Benitez agreed that the attack could be the work of a gang aligned with Guzman, who is forming alli- ances to attack the Zetas in other parts of Mexico. He said Guz- man is seeking both to control territory and to punish the Zetas for attacking civilians, some- thing that is shunned by most drug traffickers and that has ramped up government heat on all cartels.
