President Reagan had good reason to pat himself on the back after his overt triumph over terrorism last Thursday. Not to say that one good, strong interception can be seen as permanent antiterrorism policy but at least someone has finally stopped the errosion of impotence America has been feeling about terrorism this past year. R. W. Apple, Jr. summed up America's good feeling about plucking those Palestinian terrorists from the sky in The New York Times : "A bit of salve for the nation's pride, even if not a cure for the cancer of international terrorism." Finally we are beginning to regain our sense of control. The only regret I have in retrospect is that Mr. Reagan was 100% right when he said we did it alone; the other states involved were not with us on this one. Why did Egypt go out of its way to protect the murderers? Why was Italy so concerned with appeasing Yasir Arafat by promising not to extradite the terrorists to America? The performance on the part of both states was, to say the least, a let down. Italy's action in the affair was clearly disappointing. Why did the Italian ship's" captain, fully aware of the murder of sixty-nine year old American Leon Klinghoffer, conceal that fact hours after the hyjacker's surrender? That question remains unanswered. Clearly, Italy was very confused and embarrassed by the entire ordeal considering their past support of the P.L.O. But with that slap in the' face in mind, why then did they go out of their way to get the consent of their mentor, and the organization's leader Yasir Arafat before taking action against the guilty terrorists? Egypt's role was even more disillusioning. Evidently it took Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak all day to convince President Bourguiba of Tunisia to agree to accept the return of the P.L.O. team. Meanwhile Mr. Mubarak was telling a marathon lie. For ten and a half hours Mr. Mubarak Cartoon by Mike Luckovich Reprinted from The New York Times falsely claimed to the press and to the American Government that the killers had left Egypt. He also played dumb when he turned the hyjackers over to Arafat's men in Egypt, pretending to know nothing of Mr. Klingh- offer's murder; It is frustrating to think of Egypt trying to arrange for the killers return Leaving The World Court...... to Mr. Arafat hours after the murder was publically revealed. And it is frustrating to witness Egypt's frantic effort to coerce Italy into returning the P.L.O. men who planned the mission. On all accounts Egypt's behavior was disheartening. A Possible Tragedy

Well, If s A Start

Every week we receive dozens of other college news- papers; it's part of an exchange The Tripod has with other college's in the area. Each week we read of other campus' activism: "South African Crisis...Rally At...Break the Chains...Friday Speeches Draw 400...Protesters Not Impressed {With Trustees)...College to Host Anti-Apart- heid Conference..." Mass student activism is new to the Trinity student of the eighties, though. While we have 140 people quietly protest divestment, Wesleyan draws hundreds regularly and even had 130 arrested Friday. Friday's rally outside of Hamlin was an attempt to dispell a myth that Trinity students are politically apathetic, and it was an admirable attempt - especially considering the fact the protest was held at most inconvienent time for the average student, 8 p.m. on a Friday night. Although the protesters demands were not met, such an attempt to bring student activism back to this campus should be praised. Still, the Trustees' decision to divest only in corpo- rations that do not abide by the Sullivan principles is a sound and responsible decision. The Trustees are much more informed about events and circumstances surround- ing the issue than members of the anti-apartheid com- mittee are willing to admit. Some of the Trustees have even travelled to the troubled land for a first hand look at the harsh realities of apartheid. They ail realize that a vote against divestiture is in no way a vote in favor ETTERS of apartheid. Those on this campus who have attempted such a linkage should be chastised.

October 15, 1985, THE TRINITY TRIPOD, Page 17 ORE SPORTS Violence: Sports Is Not At Fault Sport has come under attack of late and unjustly so. As recent editions of the New York Times and Psychology Today reported', some psycholo- gists and sociologists are now purporting, based on recent research, that there's a direct connection between on-the-field sports aggression and off- the-field fan violence. Basically, the research contends that sports aggres- sion leads to imitative fan violence. But there appear to be inherent flaws in the research. Psychologists say that studies show that baseball was the sport with the most incidents of fan violence over a recent 20-year period. Amazingly, wrestling had some of the fewest such incidents. Where is the logic here? Baseball is our national passtime, the game that lolls along with the summer months while the grass grows green and the sun shines. You can't tell me that baseball is more violent than wrestling. According to these researchers' theory, the more violent the sport, the higher the rate of fan violence; but their own study seems to contradict that theory. If aggression and contact spurs more fan violence, you'd expect more fan outbursts at wrestling matches than baseball games. There are other contradictions as well. British and Latin American soccer fans are known as being the most demonstrative fans in the world. Last Spring, 38 died and 200 were injured in a fan fight at an England- Italy soccer match in Belguim. And Latin American soccer fans frequently charge at officials during and after games. But soccer isn't, by nature, a violent sport. Super-nationalism, rather than player aggression, is the catalyst for fan violence here. photo by Mark Bridges If sports aggression isn't the sole cause, we must look for other answers. Field Hockey notched two wins last week.
