Columns are the opinion of the author. However, the committee’s recommendations were void because it did not meet quorum, which means, according to state law, that a majority of a public body’s members must be present in order to discuss and make policy. Only four of the nine committee members were present during the meeting three weeks ago. In addition, the senate and committee never made an attempt to appoint faculty and staff members, which is required under the senate’s bylaws, a severe oversight by senate leaders. But all that is behind us now. Upon realizing the errors, the senate quickly moved to appoint the needed members and then conducted an unscheduled meeting to recommend student fee increases. It is important to note that not all of the student- fee funded boards will be happy with the allocation of increases. Let’s face it: if every university department got as much funding as it wanted or needed it might be cheaper for Eastern students to attend Harvard. As long as the senate, the committee and the rest of process follows the rules, there is little room for every- one to complain. The senate needs to move on with the fee-increase process; however, the lessons learned this semester about fairness and legality can not be forgotten.

DOONESBURY BY GARRY TRUDEAU In the streets of Kabul, thousands of people celebrated, honking car horns and ringing bicycle bells. They flouted the strict version of Islamic law imposed by the Taliban that reg- ulated almost every aspect of life, down to banning shaving and music. “I used to play this at home, but very quietly and then I would check to see if anyone was outside,” Abdul Rehman said as he turned up the volume on his cassette tape recorder blaring out the music of his favorite Afghan folk singer. Zul Gai, the owner of a barber shop lined up with men looking to lose their beards, smiled broadly.“This has been my best business day in many long years,” he said.

At least 11 Arabs and Pakistanis were slain and their bodies mutilated. Alliance fighters roamed the streets in taxis, pickup trucks and cars, brandishing Kalashnikov rifles and grenade launch- ers. Troops set up roadblocks in neighborhoods where Arabs and Pakistanis lived. Five Pakistanis, who were firing randomly from trees in a public park, were killed by Northern Alliance soldiers. A Red Cross official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the bodies were in pieces when volunteers removed them for bur- ial. Four Arabs died when their pickup truck was blasted by a rocket. Their charred bodies were dragged from their vehicle by residents who kicked and poked at them. 10 Sports Wednesday, November 14, 2001 The Daily Eastern News Women’s basketball Women’s basketball schedule Young Panthers take on lofty schedule 2001-02 Date Time Opponent Location By Nate Bloomquist growing pains along the way, but back-to-back, as it will host Staff writer insisted that consistency will be the Northwestern on Dec. 16 and travel Nov. 16 5:15 p.m. IUPU-Indianapolis Lantz Arena key throughout the season. to Illinois Dec. 19.
