In the recommendation, the provost praised Obiakor for his citizenship and dedication to research and asked him to continue at UTC for another year. She recommended his termination at the end of that year, however, because of problems between himself and another faculty member and because of poor evaluations from students. FIRST Before a professor is considered for tenure at UTC, he must undergo a probationary period. During that time, the professor must be allowed continuation at the University CLASS each year. In Obiakor's case, he only needed one more year of continuation before he would be eligible for tenure. Using copies of memos he sent and received, Obiakor EDUCATION explained the tension between himself and another professor/rom the school of education. Une source ot the tension was the cartoons, which de­ picted racial jokes and acts of violence toward co-workers, i the other professor displayed on his office door.

LETTERS from page A9 Students Enjoy Sunny Weather Pringle Makes Error In her "Commentary" in the April 9 Echo, Debbi Pringle makes the common error of those favoring abortion on demand of presenting pregnancy as an unavoidable disease that randomly strikes females. In fact, the cause of pregnancy is well-known and usually it can be prevented if this is desired. Reproductive freedom is reasonable if it is accompa­ nied by reproductive responsibility. If, however, in spite of precautions, pregnancy results, the responsible decision is to bear the child. The reasons she cited for women having abortions strike me as selfish. HHS data say that more than 75 percent of the abortions performed in this country are on single women. Hence the call for choice is really the cry of those who engage in fornication. Does Pringle endorse such behavior? While I would agree that a woman has a right to control her own body, a fetus is not her body and there fore is equally Two students enjoy the first lasting glimmers of Easter Holiday begins at 11 p.m., April 16, and entitled to respect and consideration.

Unfortu­ nately, left unasked are deeper questions on this issue. Why would Israel want to censor the print media in these disputed regions? Is it that the Israelis actually enjoy censoring the Palestinian Arab population, or can it be there is another motivation? When one considers that Israel has been subject to mili­ tary attacks across this region from the evening of the declaration of the state of Israel, and that the surrounding Arab states remain in a state of war with Israel, it would be surprising if the Israeli military did not exercise military censorship, permitted under the prevailing law at the time Israel occupied the region. A quick glance at the map shows why Israel, after three wars started by surrounding Arab states, feels the West Bank is crucial to its own defense and security. The legitimate disposition of the West Bank has been under discussion since the Arab rejection of the UN partition vote; it has never been recognized as part of any Arab state. One must also note that Israel has returned over 90 percent of the land it acquired in the 1967 war. Journalists arid the military often disagree as to the limits and subjects of censorship in a war zone. The recent experi­ ence of the US in the gulf shows that such disagreement is virtually unavoidable. I am not suggesting that violations of censorship regulations do not occur in the West Bank. I would suggest, though, that Ms. Thibodeaux visit one of the countries surrounding Israel for a lesson in media censorship. Israel has nothing to really match what occurs daily in Jordan, Lebanon, or Syria. when the surrounding kingdoms and dictatorships cease an insane arms buildup, when the Arab economic boycott of Israel is lifted, when recognition of the rights of the state of Israel to exist occurs; when such concrete steps are seriously proposed, I am sure that peace can be achieved. Until that time, both Arab and Israeli will suffer from the effects of mistrust and misunderstanding. - John F.

Bird's Eye View A Must First, in order to understand the Echo's organization, one must get a bird's eye view of the paper. The Echo is made up of seven depart­ ments, each with a staff of two people: news, features, sports, photography, advertising, production and editorial. Through these de­ partments all Echo activities are accom­ plished. All departments are on an equal footing aside from the editorial department which is primarily responsible for making sure the departments roll smoothly with each Editor-in-Chief David Hamilton speaks with Kim Johnson, news editor, about plans for the final issue of the year.
