The arrests were carried out without incident at about 2 a.m Wednesday in Puerto Rico followinga year-long undercover opera tion, according to Customs officials. Five fugitives from the opera tion remain at large. About 400 pounds of heroin were also seized US officials have grown increasingly concerned about the spreac of Colombian heroin because of its unusually high purity, which makes it more addictive and easier to use than than the more adulterated heroin trafficked by other nations’ cartels. Its high purity means it can be smoked or inhaled, which authorities and public health officials fear will make it more attractive to would-be users who were repulsed by the necessity of injecting heroin Sunday Dec 13th intervenously.

They said that the time for dialogue had passed and thetime for action hadcome. It is important that the entire campus take note of the fact that years of effort have only bred frustra- tion due to insufficient progress. This was indicative at the recent forum hosted by the Task Force on Race Oversight Committee. Make no mistake;this was not the first time that I and many others before me raised these concerns. There have been several Task Forces on Race within the last decade. They have all put forth intelligent and in- sightful recommendations. Additionally, the TCU Senate passed a strong resolution articulating areas of concern and proposed solutions two years ago. The budget of the African-American Center was slashed in half two years ago. African-American Center director Todd McFadden resigned this week out of frus- tration, ProfessorGill istiredand frustrated, and it does not end there.

Assistant Editor: The day’s events brought to light the ineptitude of the administration at dealing with the grievances Ben Oshlag ofthe African-American community. The PAA wants the administration to establish a timeline for acl ion for which they can be held accountable. They want committees to be problem-solving entities that propose PRODUCTION solutions to the problems African Americans face rather than simply a formal channel for reiterating their goals. The mandate is clear: it’s time to stop setting goals and time to start implementing plans. Pamela Abrams The demonstration also revealed that students are ahead of the administration in the effort to foster Production Director a healthy, diverse community at Tufts. The University should be embarrassed that the PAA, a student group that is funded by the TCU Senate, currently has a larger budget than the African-American Center. Production Managers: Mike Dupuy, Judith Dickman In addition, students seemed to have more data than the administration about the trends in minority enrollment and retention, among other things. When Vice President Bernstein emerged from Ballou Hall LAYOUT Assistant Editors: yesterday to address the 200 students before him, he could only claim that the administration is in the Sandra Fried, Meg Tenny, Valentina Clark process of obtaining the data necessary to answer the questions of the African-American community.

NCAA or the ECAC championships. This policy change heavily affects NESCAC, since in the past numerous NESCAC teams have qualified for post-season play.

According to Brown, under the proposed requirement, students would take one class in any department in which at least half of the material would deal with bigotry. An oversight committee would coordinate the courses that could be used to fulfill the requirement so they all follow one coherent direction. Brown said racial conflict is often simply the result ofthe lack of awareness. “Welive inasocietyinwhichracism hasbecomeinstitution- Photo by Daniel Rodngues alized.

Mitchell, who spokeonNov.4, gave alectureentitled“Princip1es for Peace: Northern Ireland and the Middle East.” Mitchell’s lecture discussed the successes and difficulties of the peace process in Northern Ireland, while relating it to the conflict in the Middle East. “Peace and political stability are not achievable between sharply divided societies unless there is a genuine willingness to understand the other point of view and to enter into principled compromise,” Mitchell said. “That is easy to say, but very hard to do, because it requires political leaders that they take risks for peace,” he said. Mitchell stressed the importance of compromise in the peace process in Northern Ireland, and expressed the beliefthat the Middle East peace process will not be successful until both sides recognize the need to compromise. Mfume,whospokeonNov. 12,gavea 1ectureentitled“AssessingAmerica’sRaceAgenda.” Mfume’s speech touched on a variety of topics, ranging from affirmative action programs, the situation involving African-American students at Tufts, and discrimina- tion in American history, to the recent work of the NAACP. In his speech, Mfume made an appeal to both black and white communities. He asked them to work together in order to achieve equal rights and equal opportunity for everyone. “Unless we challenge what is wrong in society, we have failed in our duty as students of democracy,” Mfume said.

T THE TUFTSDAILY December 10,1998 19 Harris should accentuate positives LETTERS continued horn page 8 tions of higher learning, Tufts obviously has problems that students can complain about. Yes, the lack 01 information about the new field house was a poor move by the administration. Yes, CampusLink has some major faults. However, there is much more to Tufts than these problems. I, for one, have been very happy with the education I have received thus far. I’ve taken some classes with some amazing professors that have truly allowed me to develop intellectually. However, it has been the out-of-class experiences where I’ve received the most enjoyable education. By “out-of-class,” I am talking about the lectures, the organizations, and the people here at Tufts. Never before in my life have I had the opportunity to be surrounded by so many great minds. When I add these out-of-class experiences to my in-class education, I see a University which has added many contributions to my ongoing learning process. By the respect that Harris has garnered on campus, it seems obvious that he, too, has received many valuable contributions from Tufts. Instead offocusing on all ofthe little quirks that the administration might have, I suggest that Harris examine the aspects ofTufts that have kept him here. Ifhe is still dissatisfied, then he should suggest a course of action to take. To simply “get loud” is not the answer.
