TUFTSLESBIAN, GAY & BISEXUALCOMMUNITY Commencement 1993 THE TUFTS DAILY page eleven Islam can be cover for mental illness SETUP continued from page 7 the exposure of any thoughts or feelings that he has been taught will endanger his goodness. How- ever, as the test of humanity has shown, there are two basic ways in which to deal with feared thoughts and feelings: phobically and counter-phobically . The compulsion is a condi- tioned capacity to reduce anxi- eties produced in obsessive think- ing. The modem-day clergy rec- ommend the chanting of certain phrases dependent upon the ob- session. The feelings are not ad- dressed, just repressed. However, the relief from anxiety is merely temporary. Thus the child may attempt to extinguish his thoughts, feelings, and fantasies by chants and develop an obsessive charac- ter over the years. At the end of years of condi- tioning we do not always have religious individuals. What we do have are obsessive individuals who are highly ritualized and will need an addiction to take the place of Islam in their lives. This is where ulterior forms of sublimation come forth in the way of alcohol and drugs. The Muslim obsessive who has faith is contained until he leaves the environment that fostered his faith. When this student comes to the United States, he fuses himself with his teachings. The student becomes consumed with Islam: he is Islam. The result is a constant state of agitation.

To the Tufts Community:

During the past weeks, a number of students and administrators have met several times to discuss, among other concerns, the effect of the Controversial Speakers Policy on the recently proposed forum on Gays and Lesbians in the Military.

As a result of our discussions, the following initiatives are underway or will be undertaken in the fall: a review of the Controversial Programs Policy by the Committee on Student Life, with participation by student leaders; an invitation for students and faculty to join the Diversity Committee, and encouragement of the Committee on Intellectual Life to offer programs dealing with a broad range of topics, including those reflecting the diverse experiences of our community.

Beyond these undertakings, a bimonthly meeting of students and members of the Dean of Students’ staff will facilitate discussion of campus issues as they arise.

We look forward to continuing the dialogue among administrators, students and faculty and believe these initiatives will encourage intellectual discourse on controversial subjects and will work ,to achieve an environment in which such discourse can be safely engaged.

Sincerely,

Sol Gittleman Lauren Mishkin Bobbie Knable Sue Frost

page twenty-six THE TUFI’S DAILY Commencement 1993 Tufts Alliance Network Tufts alumni across the world now have the opportunity to become part of a revolutionary idea in alumni program- ming -- the Tufts Alliance. Although there still remain a few active “alumni clubs”, alumni everywhere are excited about the new Tufis Alliance program. The “Alliance” concept was introduced in 1984 by Direc- tor of Alumni Relations Ron Brinn, A58. “Since we had virtually no organized national network at that time, we were able to devise a contemporary format -- somewhat less com- plex that the traditionaldumni Club -- which would encour- age volunteers to work for the University exclusively in their own areas of special interest,” Brinn said. “We also broadened the membership to welcome parents and other friends of the Alliance.” The program does just that. By assembling varied volun- teer interests under the Alliance umbrella, Tuftonians can become involvedin any (or all) of the following areas: Career Networking, Continuing Education, Social Activities, Cul- tural Events, Student Recruitment, and Community Service. There’s no limit to what you can do as an Alliance member. Medical School alums, for example, can run pro- grams expressly for their alumni, while still being involved in and aware of all Alliance functions. The goal is to diffuse the light of Tufts spirit across the globe. If you’d like to be part of this light brigade, join the Alliance in your area. Here is a list of alumni groups, with contact information and an example of what you might participate in as a member: Arizona mode Island Robert Wilson A60 C.
