"It does not follow that because a man is awarded the degree of Mas- ter of Engineering, for instance, that he is a literal master of that subject," Cooley told The Daily. Cooley added that he "deplored" a variety of different degrees titles and would have simply preferred to write "engineer" after the name of each graduate. He told the Daily that he blamed any confusion on the Latin roots of the degrees and the tradition handed down by the University. 60 years ago this week (Janu- ary 12, 1952): After a report on University buildings, state inspec- tors told The Daily that five land- mark buildings on Central Campus should be demolished after being deemed as potential fire hazards. The five buildings were built near the turn of the century and were in varying states of repair since their wood constructions posed serious risks to students and surrounding structures. One served as a repository for danger- ous and flammable chemicals, The Daily reported. According to the Bentley His- torical Library website, most of the buildings were soon demolished, but the preserved Economics build- ing caught fire on Christmas Eve, 1981. The building housed the Leo Scharfman library, which was com- pletely destroyed by the flames. 30 years ago this week (Janu- ary 12, 1982): About 85 students gathered on the Diag for a protest against the training of Salvadoran troops in the United States. The students marched in "sub- zero temperatures" to the ROTC headquarters in North Hall to protest the training of the troops at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. A spokesman for the Latin Solidarity Committee, which organized the rally, said the military of El Salva- dor was responsible for a "geno- cide" of their people.

Iranian prosecutors, however, had stressed Hekmati's links to the U.S. military in calling for capital punishment. In Washington, NationalSecu- rity Council spokesman Tommy Vietor described Hekmati, 28, as a victim of false charges and said the U.S. was working with allies to "convey our condemnation to the Iranian government." "Allegations that Mr. Hekmati either worked for, or was sent to Iran by the CIA, are simply untrue. The Iranian regime has a history of falsely accusing people of being spies, of elicit- ing forced confessions, and of holding innocent Americans for political reasons," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. Regardless of the facts of the case, Iranian officials may now see Hekmati as a potential bar- gaining chip in efforts to fend off tighter U.S.-led sanctions that could undercut Iran's oil industry.
