There is still one team that remains undefeated this fall, the men’s rugby team.

It is not surprising that no one knows about the team because we are given very little coverage by either of the campus newspapers. While the football team (who most likely will not win another game all season) gets two articles per defeat each weekend, we have only gotten one all year.

The future of peace in the Middle East by REMY STERN

As I watch the aftermath of the latest terrorist incident in Israel on television, I, like so many others, wonder what the future will hold for the Middle East peace process. Last Wednesday, a young Palestinian affiliated with the radical group Hamas boarded a crowded bus in Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest city, with close to 40 pounds worth of explosives. After he completed his deadly mission in the heart of the bustling city, this terrorist, along with many innocent Israelis, became the latest figure in a bitter and painful struggle.

Yesterday, President Clinton began a much talked about visit to the region. With joy and pride, Clinton welcomed an end to the Israeli-Jordanian conflict. After a 46-year state of war, Israel and Jordan are prepared to sign a treaty that will soon establish diplomatic relations, trade, and wide-ranging land arrangements.

As many of us rejoice in this latest development, there is a great deal of worry about the fate of the peace process. Those who follow developments in theMiddle East know very well that peace between Israel and Jordan does not guarantee progress between the Israe- lis and the Palestinians. And, as we have seen, these latest agreements do not mean an end to terrorism, either.

On the contrary, the treaty between Israel and Jor- dan has given radical groups like Hamas a sense of urgency. As peace in the region becomes a reality, Hamas recognizes that it is running out of time to shatter the peace process. As a result, Israel has seen a recent wave of Hamas attacks, attacks that have been more bold and increasingly deadly. Before the Tel Aviv bombing, an attack in downtown Jerusalem left two dead; days later an Israeli soldier was kidnapped and ultimately killed by his captors when Israeli forces attempted a rescue.

What can be done by both sides to reduce the violence and sustain the peace? Unfortunately, both the Israelis and Palestinians are in extremely precari- ous positions. Clearly, the PLO and Yasir Arafat have their backs to the wall: the world expects Arafat to combat Palestinian terrorism, but if he aggressively pursues radical militants, he threatens to lose his base

Remy Stem is assistant news editor of the Daily.

of popular support. To round up and arrest large numbers of Palestinians would make the newly formed Palestinian police appear like the errand boys of Rabin and the Israeli Parliament.

Thus, Yasir Arafat must walk a narrow path: to Israel and the West, he must appear to be firmly opposed to terrorism and violence. However, to his people, Arafat must also prove that he is standing up for their rights and not bowing to pressure from the Israeli government.

Make no mistake, Rabin walks a narrow path of his own. He knows he must continue to pursue peace, but realizes that terrorist attacks sharply undermine sup- port in his government and erode Israeli faith in the peace process. Attacks like the bombing in Tel Aviv make Rabin extremely vulnerable to the political right; opposition leaders on the right use every terrorist attack as proof that Rabin is in the wrong and the peace process is fundamentally flawed. Accordingly, Rabin must balance public opinion against the progress that clearly needs to be made.

Israel’s response to recent Palestinian terrorism has yet to prove effective. Indeed, many observers in both Israel and abroad argue that tactics used by the Israelis have only served to fuel the fundamentalist fire.

The sealing of the territories after major terrorist incidents, forexample, has made Palestinian life more desperate and has made them increasingly apprehen- sive about the peace process. As these Palestinians become more and more despondent, radical groups like Hamas become a more appealing alternative to the status quo, the PLO.

As acts of terrorism continue, Israel has little alter- native but to speed up the process. Arafat cannot deliver Hamas; Israel must roll over Hamas with peace agreements that more effectively enfranchise Pales- tinians and, at the same time, bolster PLO authority.

Arafat cannot guarantee that Palestinian terrorists won’t decide to strike at Israeli targets. It is Israel that must ensure that the PLO has something to deliver to its people. Indeed, it is Israel that must give the PLO the political tools (and the rest of the world must give the PLO the money) to improve the lives of Palestin- ians. It is only with such a rapid and sincere plan that Israel can hope to defeat the enemies of peace. And it is only with such a plan that Israelis and P<alestinians can hope to enter a new era of coexistence.

Now, the problem isn’t totally the material. Okay, granted, calcu Ius is not a hotbed of excitement (and if you disagree, you should pu down this column and flip over the Barry Manilow tape you’n listening to) but it doesn’t have to be this painful.

We’re supposed to be loving to all of God’s creatures, or somethini cnlightening like that. But when it comes to Tufts math professors, have a certain degree of prejudice. I do not feel that they are one o us; they are perhaps aliens sent to lay waste to our collegiate mind! and money.

First off, my professors do not seem to speak English. Funny. thought that language skills were an integral part of teaching. I gues! [ still have much to learn. I suppose that the administrators decidec ;hat it would, maybe, stimulate our brains to not be able to commu. iicate with our professors.

For any aspiring Jumbo mathers, indecipherable accents are i must if you want to be a math professor here. In addition, frequen yammatical errors and blatant mispronunciations will help make your class unforgettable.

Now, even if the teachers all spoke like Don Pardo, that wouldn’i ie the end of our troubles. They make mistakes left and right, as if OUI ntellects will be enhanced by an incompetent fool who can’t subtraci :orrectly .

ook at a typical math class in a scene from the play I wrote, entitled Yow Statistics RuinedMy Life. The following is an exchange between !an tobin and the teacher; we’ll call her Professor Stupid Face.

DLT Could you go over problem #17? PSF: Problem #17? DLT Yeah. 6 4 . PSF: Right. Well, in order to find the area of a cube ... DLT: No no no. Problem #17. The addition one. PSF: Yes. I know. You take the cubic area, times it by five.. DLT NO! SIX PLUS FOUR! PSF Six plus four? Eleven. Anyway, you times it by five, carry the

They don’t teach the material either. What we do in class, what we lo for homework, and what we have on the test are three COM- ’LETELY different things. They don’t overlap. They don’t peace- ully coexist. They barely even call each other on the phone just to :hat.

One hope is the T.A. In my IR class, the T.A. is better than the xofessor -- I wish he taught the whole class. But not in Statistics. The LA. there is more clueless than the class, and it’s painful to think that he’s actually being paid out of my pocket to mislead students each veek.

So the lonely class is left with going to the book for help. But this s no picnic either. The people who write math text books are the same Ieople who make instructions for hair dryers (“never use while leeping”). The problems have 16 parts to them, require knowledge If advanced math topics you’ve never studied, and have the wrong ,nswer in the back of the book.

The book would be better used under the tush of one of my short riends when they drive.

I understand the importance of math. You need to know addition, ubtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and such. But why do ve need calculus? When am I ever going to use any of this stuff? Sure here was that time I was being muggedon the Red Line when the thief ilreatened to kill me if I didn’t take the derivative of x squared plus wo. But how is this stuff ever going to come in handy otherwise?

$1,900 is a fairly decent sum of money. To put that amount of ioney in perspective, that would buy you 135 new CD’s, 7,600packs f Garbage Pail Kids, or 19,000 Gummy Fish. So why did I spend my ioney on math?

wo...

Oh yeah. The administration is making me. Here’s what I think. It’s not unreasonable for Ballou to require us

i take two math classes at Tufts. But it really is unreasonable to cquire us to be taught by incompetent dolts that wouldn’t last a econd in the public school system.

My close personal friend Michael J.W. Stickings once said that ‘ufts graduates are about as well-rounded as a beach ball and equally s hollow. The math requirement here just plain isn’t helping anyone. Lt all.

One note: This entire column could be reprinted as a wholly valid ret completely different article by merely replacing the word “math” with “World Civ.” Go figure.

Math Blaster Scott, my nerdy roommate, informed me that I was wasting $1,90(

on my statistics class. He’s right, because I don’t go to that class an more.

There is absolutely no need. I am not a mathematical genius, no do I play one on TV. But I see no point in waking up for an 8:30 a.m class that is wholly and completely useless. That is time that would bi

better spent lying in bed, droolin]

And I sense that I am not alone d a n tobin on my pillow.

Misadventures in

Get to know Tbfts’ First Lady More than just John’s wife, Nancy DiBiaggio speaks out

by MARLA BESSER Daily Staff Writer

Who is the seemingly elusive character going in and out of 128 Packard Avenue early in the morn- ing and late at night? She is some- times seen with the President him- self and sometimes alone. No one seems to know who she is. That is, no one really seems to know any- thing about her.

Well, she is really not elusive, and if you want to know who she is, you can just ask her -- if you can keep up with her, that is. Mrs. DiBiaggio is always eager to talk to students. She is an extremely warm and friendly person, but she is also a very busy person. As if being married to the president were not a job in and of itself, Mrs. DiBiaggio also works as a sales representative for a major Euro- pean sports manufacturer. She has worked with the company for 15 years and now represents 14 states in the Southwestern United States, including 35 major metropolitan areas. From September to Thanks- giving, her position requires that she travel almost 40 days, with an additional 3 weeks in the spring.

And whatdoesMrs. DiBiaggio do when she is not travelling? She works out of her home and is able to enjoy Tufts University, its New England setting and its students. Mrs. DiBiaggio said that at Michi- gan State University, where her husband was formerly president, she and her husband lived in a house with an enclosed backyard. Here, she said, the university is her backyard. She enjoys seeing the students and the liveliness of the university from her family room window.

“Tufts has a smaller setting which provides a sense of family among faculty, trustees, and stu- dents,”Mrs. DiBiaggio said, con- trasting the two universities. “I like this place a whole lot. My husband and I feel very fortunate to be here.”

President and Mrs. DiBiaggio have been married for five and a

half years. They met by chance at a dinner party where they were both guests of mutual friends. There was a full moon over Lake Michigan, and from the moment their eyes met, they knew it was their destiny to be together. Well, the part about the full moon and Lake Michigan is true, anyway. Actually, Mrs. DiBiaggio said that from the beginning, she found the President to be “a very interest- ing, nice man.”

They dated quietly for some time, and finally decided to elope. They were married in a small Epis- copal Church on Mackinack Is- land. Since no cars were allowed on the island, the couple took a horse and buggy to the church, which Mrs. DiBiaggio said was very romantic.

,With a wide smile, she said that President DiBiaggio is still “terri- bly romantic.” For their first Christmas together, the president surprised Mrs. DiBiaggio and cooked dinner for them. And he also gave her Duncan for her first Christmas present. Kati was her first Valentine’s Day present. (Duncan and Kati are the two little dogs which you may have seen the president or his wife walk around campus.) Mrs. DiBiaggio abso- lutely adores her two little furry friends, and sitting in the family room with Duncan curled up com- fortably on the couch, it is diffi-

cult todetermine who really is in charge of the household.

Other than her career, her re- sponsibilities to the University and hertwolittledogs, Mrs. DiBiaggio has a variety of interests. She ran the New York marathon in 1980, is an avid golfer, and also enjoys skiing, mountain biking, weight training, and reading. Except for the reading part, this list could describe the activities of many Tufts students. In fact, Mrs. DiBiaggio was recently a student herself. Though she graduated from the University of Oregon, she took several classes for her own personal interests at Michi- gan State University.

So what doesn’t Mrs. DiBiaggio do? She doesn’t play a musical instrument and shedoesn’t speak a second language. “I wish my mom would have made me take piano lessons,” she noted, “and1 wish my school would have made me take two foreign lan- guages.”

It seems that Mrs. DiBiaggio now has a more mature perspec- tive on many areas in her life. So what advice can she offer to Tufts students?

“Try to learn as much as you can about as many different things as you can, so that it will be easier foryou toliveinthisrapidlychang- ing world.”

Homecoming Riot Squad strikes An exclusive report on last Friday’s random acts of spirit

by DAN TOBIN Daily Editorial Board

Perhaps you noticed the throngs i f rowdy students running amok In campus. Or maybe your friend saw people dancing to loud music md throwing candy. Or perhaps yougothitin theface withacream lie. No matter how you may have ‘ound out, Friday afternoon saw he arrival of a pack of wild stu- jents calling themselves the qomecoming Riot Squad (HRS).

One of the head honchos (who ;hall remain nameless, kind of ike members of the A-team) ex- Ilained that HRS’s purpose was o “rile people up with school ,pirit.” And rile they did, as the )lue-faced vigilante group ,termed into dining halls to loud nusic flailing from its portable lereo. According to inside ources, the HRS consumed a ‘mind-altering beverage” before ts reign of terror. No word on the lame of the magical beverage.

Cannichael Dining Hall dur- ng lunch was the first stop, where

suddenly the HRS burst in to the stomping chants of Queen’s “We Will Rock You” blaring in its midst. The students ran in, blasted air-horns, shot spray-string, fired super-soakers, and threw candy and keychains to/at the peacefully and quietly munching students.

“The response was fantastic except for one overzealous stu- dent who threw a bowl of clam chowder on me,” said the HRS leader.

But the response of most din- ers seemed to be mass confusion. “What was that?’ perplexed stu- dents gasped as they peeled strange goo from their bodies.

The dining hall staff seemed not at all pleased. It threatened to trap the rioters in the dining hall if they returned and said it would force them to clean the room. But the Carmichael card-swiping la- dies seemed most amused by the antics.

Even Ballou Hall received the HRS with a smile. It stormed up to President John DiBiaggio’s office, but he was out of the building. The

rioters went downstairs and out of the building to the cheers, smiles, and laughs of the happy jolly staff members.

From its start at the lovely up- hill food court that is Cannichael, HRS spread its attack around the campus. It completed the dining circuit, proceeding to the Campus Center, and then to Dewick/ MacPhie and Hodgdon. Moving on, itattackedBallou Hall, Wessell Library, the Eaton computer lab, Miller Hall, andcompleteditsram- page at Houston.

Before heading into Eaton, HRS tookjunior ChantelleNobile hostage, but she refused to com- ment on her kidnapping. Obvi- ously she did not take the HRS particularly seriously, as she was laughing about it.

In all, the mass rioting seemed successful. The commando unit’s leader expressed his hope that this will become a new Tufts tradition of‘doingsomething stupid to raise school spirit.’’ And yes, it cer- tainly was something stupid.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The times they are a-changzn

Although I traditionally attempt to avoid attending events fa purely nostalgic interests, when I discovered that Bob Dylan wa playing a weekend series of shows in BostonJ jumped at the chanc

to go see him. After all, the man i a living legend, whose musi helped to inspire a generation a youth to rise up against the pow ers-that-were and alter the cours

Jay Ruttenberg

Column of American history.

I really did not know what to expect as I entered the Orpheum. modem child born and bred on MTV hits of the week, I had neve attended a concert of that stature. I had also never been to a “rock event in which the number of 50-year-olds outnumbered that of 20 year-olds. There were more bald heads in the audience than thos adorned with fashionably backwards-tilted baseball hats, more doc iors with beepers than drug dealers with beepers, and more childre accompanying their parents to the show than parents accompanyin# their kids to the show.

Of course, Dylan was just as ancient, if not older, than hi mdience, and his playing reflected his age. The fierce protest song that once compelled a generation to revolt simply seem odd whei played 30 years later. The times certainly have changed and th idealistic souls who originally put Bob Dylan in power did na hesitate toreplace him withRonald Reagan. Thereis something weirr about a burned-out middle-aged millionaire performing for a buncl >f sellout yuppies who paid top dollar to see him play songs about Jead revolution.

Following the concert’s ex- tended encore (complete with the staple “Blowin’ in the Wind”), which brought the lazy yet ex- hilarated fans out of their chairs, ny friend and I left the theater perplexed. How couldDylan hon- :stly relate to us after his long standing success? There was a reason that I hardly ever went to “classic” rock shows, and it was probably becauseof thecontrived phoniness that the aged stars were Forced to produce.

Soon after we descended into the subway’s Red Line we spot- ted a female street musician sing- ing into an old microphone and playing a beat up guitar. Dressed like a normal person in raggedly tom jeans and a battered shirt, 1 she was entertaining several com- Dylm in his youth* muters waiting for the subway at the Park Street stop.

It turned out that we were familiar with her work and that I actual1 3wned a 7” single that she had released last year on a small recor label. Mary Lou Lord, a long time musical fixture on the M.B.T.A gang in a voice prettier than Dylan could ever dream of and wa iutting more heart and soul into her songs than he had for years ncluding his performance earlier that evening. Her music was genu nely honest, largely because it had to be. While Dylan’s reputatio illowed him to command steep ticket prices and a packed theate jespite any performing flaws, Lord was forced to tantalize he isteners into sparing some change based solely on her songs.

If Dylan’s concert proved satisfying, he was rewarded with an extr mcore and a positive newspaper review, both of which he would hav eceived no matter what the case due to his prominent stature. Lord lowever, was rewarded with money from pleased commuters. He )aycheck depended on her performance quality and her playin; eflected its importance.

Dylan is a worshipped icon, placed above his audience on a largl ,tage. A reluctant yet professional rock star, he cannot possibl: :ontinue to produce music for average people. Mary Lou Lord‘ ecord is on a label called “Kill Rock Stars.” That night she stood ii L subway singing her heart out, musically begging for dollars, quietl: eading a revolution of her own.

My friend and I ended up sitting on the floor of the T-station fo [bout half an hour watching the singer. Every time a train arrived wr vould agree to leave on the following one, but we were consistent11 lrawn to Lord‘s music. After listening to her cover Dylan song equested by concert-goers waiting for the train, we asked her to plal Some Jingle Jangle Morning,” the A-side to her single. Hesitantly m d complied and proceeded to deliver the most emotionally stirrini une I had heard all night.

Beck gives a disappointing show MTV-boy’s return to the Middle East lacks in many ways

by JAY RVITEMERG Daily Editorial Board

Last spring, just at the peak of Beck-mania, the California singer played an unadvertised concert I d

Concert Review

downstairs at the Middle East. At the time, it was really easy to hate the little guy. His “Loser” video, which lit up MTV screens across the nation, was played endlessly, and he was hailed by the typically clueless media as Generation X s slacker spokesman of the month.

Disproving cynical critics who slammed his live shows, Beck’s performance was stupendous. He placed several different musical forms on display, even covering Sonny Terry’s a-cappella/har- monicdfoot stomping “Blues with a Whoop” in the splendid acoustic blues set with which he opened. After bringing out his band, Beck beautifully mixed folk, blues, punk, and bad white boy rap to significant eclectic results.

This said, Beck‘s return to the Middle East this Monday evening was hardly triumphant. Lacking much of the variety and wackiness that had made his first concert so memorable, this recent show was largely a forgettable disappoint- ment. WiththeexceptionofBeck‘s impressive solo stab at delta blues that composed the show’s middle portion, the concert lacked the originality that typically makes the singer stand out.

Beck and his three accompany- ing musicians appeared sadly con- ventional. The first part of the show featured the quartet mud- dling its way through weak ver- sions of electric rock and rap tunes, many from his debut LP, Mellow Gold. Opening with an absolutely horrendous rendition of “Soul Suckin Jerk,” Beck proved him-

self to be as bad a rapper as he claims. (He has said that the infa- mous chorus from “Loser” is a testament to his poor rapping skills.) Although this occasionally works in his favor by adding an oddly surreal edge, on Monday , night the uniqueness was replaced with plain mediocrity.

After “rocking out” with his band on average, generic rock songs, Becktemporarily dismissed his associates and played asignifi- cant numberof solo tunes. Despite his remark that “people get down on the guitar and harmonica ‘cause it’s a cliche,” it is actually the traditional rock quartet that’s cli- che. Beck is most likely at his best while singing alone, accompanied only by his trusty 1Zstring guitar and harmonica.

One Foot in the Grave, an al- bum released on the independent K record label this summer, show- cases this side of the entertainer better than the radio-friend1 yMel- low Gold. Recorded with Calvin Johnson, the baritone mastermind behind Beat Happening and the

Beck’s performance at the Middle East could have been better.

Halo Benders, One Foot in the Grave’s wonderful original delta blues songs make it one of the finest releases of 1994.

Disappointingly, he ignored most tracks off of that album, but still offered an inspired batch of his trademark “anti-folk” songs. He is one of the few popular mod- ern performers who can success- fully adapt ’90s philosophy with quiet folk music.

Unfortunately, the particularly evil crowd did not all agree with Beck’s sublime material. During “It’s All In Your Mind,” a beauti- ful campfire-ready folk song, two brutish thugs drew fisticuffs. Other standouts from his solo set in- cluded “Asshole,” a lovely cut fromOne Foot in the Grave, “Can- celed Check,” which he claimed was about infomercials, and “Static,” a soft number recalling Mississippi John Hurt’s “Stagolee.”

Following the pleasing blues portion of the show, Beck‘s band returned to perform a few rap songs, including the irritatingly omnipresent “Loser” and a sur- prisingly excellent version of “Beercan,” the latest single off Mellow Gold.

Opening the show was Doo Rag, a bizarre duo that mixed bluesy guitar with spastic, danceable drumming. The pair, which closely resembled the Hansen Brothers from Slap Shot, was extremely entertaining for about five minutes, but quickly sunk into dull monotony.

The concert really was not that bad. It merely failed to live up to Beck‘s past accomplishments. It would have been nice to see him play more blues songs than the electric material, but the mean bulky guys who came to the show to hit people and hear Beck sing his singles would have probably grown restless and beat the per- former over the head with his gui- tar.

“Our season never ends.” The World Wrestling Federation unveiled this new slogan -

specifically designed as a shot a this year’s abbreviated Majo League Baseball season - in i

commercial that aired during i

recent college football game (Pen1 St. versus Michigan).

The advertisement showed a small, crying boy standing alone 01 i little league diamond. He was sad, the announcer claimed, becausi he World Series had been canceled. Suddenly, his face brightened heofhis heroeshadshownuptoplay ballwithhim.Itw as... “Machc dan” Randy Savage?

Yes, the former WWF champion and current dried beef sticl beddler (“Snap into a Slim Jim!”) cheered the boy up. And eve] hough the advertisement was a little cheesy, it undoubtedly cheerec ip a few baseball lovers. After all, there must be tons of past an( urrentlcloset wrestling fans out there, even at Tufts.

Tufts cycling emerges victorious

This past Saturday, members of the Tufts cycling team hung up their road bikes and took to the

Golf

trails to compete in their first col- legiate mountain bike race of the season.

The race, hosted by the Uni- versity of New Hampshire, was attended by the top collegiate teams in New England as well as New York and Pennsylvania. Af- ter racing three grueling laps around a three-mile course that consisted of a brutal climb and a precarious descent made worse by mud and wet leaves from re- cent rains, Tufts emerged victori- ous. The team placed a rider in first place and won the overall title in their category.

Freshman Mike Kemmer once again lived up to his reputation as one of Tufts’ strongest off-road riders by placing a decisive first, minutes ahead of most of the field. After shadowing the top two rac- ers for the first two laps, Kemmer moved into second by dropping one of the other riders on the course’s steep climb.

Kemmer continued to keep pace just behind the first place rider for much of the remainder of the lap. Then, with less than a quarter of a mile left in the race,

Theoretically, the Jumbos could have defeated 12th-ranked St. Lawrence, however, they were without the services of their num- ber-two runner Mike Harty. Coach Connie Putnam sat his star junior out because of a hamstring injury. Harty is expected to return for this week’s race.

Captain Matt Frankel was ex- cited about his team’s prospects. “Looking back at the race,” said Frankel, “we beat the2lst-ranked team in the country. Mike [Northrop] ran a sensational race. He’sexactly what weneed, some- one to run’up at the front in big races.”

The Tufts cycling club fared well in a collegiate mountain bike race in New Hampshire on Saturday.

Kemmer attacked hard across the flat finishing stretch. His oppo- nent was unable to respond, and Kemmer cruised to his first vic- tory of the season.

Seniors Andrew Yee and Joshua Idjadi kept a strong pace throughout the race. The two worked together, pushing each other hard until the finish. At the end, the two Tufts riders became

part of a spectacular three-man battle with a Plymouth State rider for tenth place.

In the final stretch it was Yee who pulled off the sprint. Idjadi, - who had been bearing down hard on Yee, ripped out of his pedal, and was nipped at the line by the rider from Plymouth State, forc-

Kansas City’s David Cone wins American League’s Cy Young

NEW YORK (AP) -- A little older and maybe a bit wiser, David Cone learned the lesson that often eludes baseball’s hardest throwers: Sometimes thereareother ways to win besides strikeouts.

Rather than blowing away bat- ters this year, Cone concentrated on getting outs with ground balls. Instead of fanning hitters with fastballs and hard sliders, he fooled them by changing speeds.

Cone’s transition from the pure powerpitcher with boyish looks to an all-around ace at age 3 1 for the Kansas City Royals was completed Tuesday when he won the AL Cy Young Award in a close vote over former teammate Jimmy Key.

“This award signals a change of style, a Jimmy Key-style,” Cone said. “He’s probably one of the most intelligent pitchers in the game.”

Cone and Key, always a big winner with his soft stuff, toured Japan after the 1988 season as part of a major league All-star team. They pitched together for the final two months of 1992 with the Toronto Blue Jays.

“That is a compliment,” Key said after hearing Cone’s compari- son. “I think David, for whatever reason, has changed. He used to try to strike people out.

“Now he’s just trying to get people out early in the count. He doesn’t need to nit-pick as much as I do because he’s got such great sutff.”

Cone, coming off the worst sea- son of his career, went 16-5 with a 2.94 ERA and did not lead the league in any category. Key, 1 7 4 with a3.27 ERA for the New York Yankees, led the majors in wins.

Cone received 15 of 28 first- place votes and finished with 108

points in balloting by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Key got 10 first-place votes and 96 points.

“I thought either one of us would’ve made a deserving win- ner. I’m hoping to get a chance to call him and tell him that,” Cone said.

“My first instinct is to feel this might be a once-in-a-lifetime op- portunity. I don’t want to demean the award because of the strike. But when you look at the award, you’re going to think about the despair of 1994.”

Randy Johnson, 13-6 with a 3.19 ERA and a major league- leading 204 strikeouts for Seattle, received two first-place votes and finishedthirdwith24points. Mike Mussina, 16-5 with a 3.06 ERA for Baltimore, got one first-place vote and was fourth with 23 points.

Greg Maddux won his record third straight Cy Young with a unanimous victory in the NL vot- ing Monday. The ALMVP will be announced Wednesday.

‘We’re friends, and I’m over- joyed for him,” Key said. “It’d be niceto winone.But1don’tputthat much value in these things.

“It is the Cy Young, but I still think it’s going to be tarnished in some people’s eyes and thereprob- ably will be an asterisk next to it in the so-called record books. He was voted the best pitcher for those number of games.”

Conestruckout 132in23 games before the players’ strike started Aug. 12. Key fanned 97 in 24 games.

Cone led the majors in striiceouts froni 1990-92 and tied theNLrecordby strikingout 19in a game in 1991.

In August 1992, the New York

Mets traded Cone toToronto. Cone bumped Key out of manager Cito Gaston’s playoff rotation and also started ahead of him as Toronto won its first World Series.

Both Cone and Key leftToronto as freeagents after 1992. Theright- handed Cone decided to go back his hometown of Kansas City and signed a three-year, $18 million contract with theRoyals, the team he made his major league debut with in 1986; the left-handed Key got a four-year, $17 million deal with the Yankees.

“Mr. Kauffman said he wanted to rectify the worst trade the Roy- als had ever made,” Cone said, recalling the words of owner Ewing Kauffman, who died in August 1993.

Cone, however, started out 0-5 andandstruggledtoan Il-14mark his fmt losing record since be- coming a full-time starter. Key, meanwhile, went 18-6.

Cone lost his first decision this season, then reeled off eighl straight victories. He had pitched three consecutive shutouts and gone 28 scoreless innings before he lost to Key and the Yankees 5- 2 on May 27 in Kansas City.

Key collected a $50,000 bonus for finishing second in the voting; Cone did not have a bonus clause. The Yankees had a league-best 70-43 record and Kansas City was 64-5 1.

Cone was picked by the Royals in the third round of the 198 1 draft and traded to the Mets in 1947 for catcher Ed Hearn. Cone went 20- 3 in i988 and was a two-lime IN-, All-star, while Hearn hurt his ro- tator cuff and played a total of 13 games for the Royals.

Oil spill’s cleanup will HOUSTON (AP) -- Cooler

weather hamperedoil-spill cleanup efforts Tuesday along the San JacintoRiver, and thecoast Guard said it would probably take most of the week to finish the job.

Hot, sunny weather had helped evaporate some of the oil but the sky clouded over Tuesday. And some hard-to-reach shoreline ar- eas were taking longer to clean than expected, Coast Guard Capt. Richard Ford said.

He previously had estimated the cleanup would be done Wednesday, but amended that pre- diction to Friday or Saturday.

About 600,000 gallons of pe- troleum products spilled into the flood-swollen river last week and caught frre after four pipelines rup tured. The fires had dwindled Tuesday but continued to burn.

The flooding, spawned by sev- eral days of torrential rain in south- eastern Texas, killed 19 people and forced an estimated 14,100 people from their homes. Thepipe- line breaks may have been caused by heavy debris carried by the

take until end of week turbulent river.

More than 11 ,000 people have applied for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has approved $275,000 in aid, FEMA spokes- man Marty Bahamonde saidTues- day.

State officials on Tuesday be- gan the task of assessing overall flood damage.

- Jo SchweikhardMoss, spokes- woman for the state’s emergency management office, said authori- ties had not yet made a dollar estimate because some areas are still under water.

And 17 of the 35 counties de- clared federal disaster areas still haven’t provided estimates .

One county that has not yet given the state any details is Mont- gomery.

“I would say easily, we have 4,000 to 5,000 homes damaged,” said Montgomery County Sheriff Guy Williams. “It’s pretty bad. I feel so sorry for these people, some of them lost everything they had.”

“TO be prepared for War is one of the most

effectual means of preserving peace.”

Bush outlined his five condi- tions which he considers when jus- tifying the use of military force, and said that “Desert Storm met each and every one of those five criteria.”He saidthey were: where the stakes warrant it and the nation supports it, where it can be effec- tive, when all other efforts fail, where it can be limited in scope and time, and when the potential benefits will outweigh the poten- tial costs.

He then talked about the results of Operation Desert Storm, saying that “after 100 hours of ground Cohen Auditorium was decorated for Bush’s visit to Tufts.

DiBiaggio presenting Bush, a former collegiate baseball player at Yale, with a Tufts baseballecap, saying, “We know you would have wished to have played for Tufts.”

Bush, DiBiaggio, and several Secret Service agents proceeded to Jackson Gymnasium to greet those students who had watched the speech on simulcast. In Jack- son, Bush said, “I’m sorry you all couldn’t crowd into the other au- ditorium, but I’m glad you could be here.” On his way out of the gym, he shook the hands of nu- merous studentsas hewalkeddown the aisle.

The speech was attended by a number of local and international dignitaries, including representa- tives from the government of Leba- non and members of the Massa- chusetts State Senate. State Sen- ate President William “Billy” Bulger, who was recognized by Bush during his speech as “a bea- con of power in Massachusetts,” said that he-was invited to the lecture by DiBiaggio and added that he was “flattered by the invi- tation” and “very pleased to be here.” -

Despite being a member of the Democraticparty,BulgerandBush both acknowledged that they have had a very cordial relationship over the years. Bulger was accompa- nied by his wife and State Senator Louise Bertonazzi, a graduate of Tufts Class of 1955.

In addition, 200 additional stu- dents will be admitted to both un- dergraduate and graduate schools in order to raise money. “As part of Arts and Sciences’ commitment to insuring the entire library project, we have agreed to be able to bring in an additional number of students ... starting in 1997 ... that will provide $500 thousand a year foracquisitions --thatistheequiva- lentof a$lOmillionendowment,”

The next topic of discussion was the reworking of theBoard of Overseers. According to Bernstein, in the past the Board in charge of Liberal A r t s has been very fragmented. Although the size and composition of the new Board remains to be seen, it should be more cohesive than the last.

The Board of Overseers is a largely non-academic board dedi- cated to improving Tufts from the outside - better visibility, better internship opportunities, etc. The first meeting of the reworked Board, which will include both old and new members, will be held on Nov. 3.

The final topic of discussion was the fact that there is no perma. nent faculty representative on the Board of Trustees. Members of the faculty complained that al- though ad hoc members are ap- pointed at the time of elections, they have no formal say in Trustee issues at other times. The current academic dean structure also came into discussion as faculty mem- bers brought forth issues such as

UN forces Muslims will replace

in Bosnia LONDON (AP) -- The United

Nations is prepared to replace Western troops in Bosnia with Muslim troops if a British and French pullout follows any lifting of the arms embargo, Secretary- General Boutros Boutros-Ghali said Tuesday.

“As long as I have a mandate fromthe Security Council to main- tain a UN presence, my role is to find the troops toreplace the troops which will have withdrawn from the former Yugoslavia,” Boutros- Ghali told British Broadcasting Corp. radio.

Replacement troops could be supplied by Muslim countries like Turkey and Pakistan, the BBC quoted Boutros-Ghali as saying. A battalion of Turkish peacekeep- ers took up duty in August around Zenica in central Bosnia, a mostly Muslim area where they have little contact with rebel Bosnian Serbs.

It is the first time the UN secre- tary-general has backed keeping forces in the region even if the embargo is lifted.

The United States has lobbied to lift the arms embargo against the Muslim-led Bosnian govern- ment, but Britain and France op- pose the move. The two countries supply most of the 23,000 UN

peacekeepers patrolling the war zone, and say their troops could come under fire if any parties to the conflict were exempted from the embargo.

Bosnia’s Eastern Orthodox Serbs also have objected to the presence of soldiers from Turkey, which ruled Bosnia for centuries in the Ottoman Empire.

After meeting with Boutros- Ghali, British Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd said he supports intensifying efforts togain Bosnian Serb acceptanceof theUN-backed peace plan, which Bosnian Mus- lims already approved.

Under the plan, the Serbs, who now control about 70 percent of Bosnia, would be left with 49 per- cent. The Muslim-Croat federa- tion would get 51 percent.

Until now, Boutros-Ghali has opposed lifting the arms embargo. But he is under pressure from the United States and from NATO, which would like to use swifter, more forceful air strikes to punish flagrant Bosnian Serb attacks.

A meeting between UN and NATO officials on air strikes was to resume Wednesday in New York. Officials met all day Tues- day without announcing agreement on a new policy.

Clinton visiting Egypt on a six- nation tour of the Middle East

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- Presi- dent Clinton made apost-midnight visit to the tomb of Egyptian Presi- dent Anwar Sadat on Wednesday to start a six-nation Mideast mis- sion he said was “inspired by a dream of peace.”

But the visit to the grave of an assassinated leader underscored that it is a dream still disturbed by discord and threats of violence.

Clinton will attend the signing of an Israel-Jordan peace agree- ment later Wednesday, meet with President Hafez Assad in Syria on Thursday and call Friday on US troops rushed to the Persian Gulf earlier this month after lraqitroops were seen massing near Kuwait’s border.

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak greeted Clinton upon his arrival at the airport here. The two leaders, accompanied by their wives, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Suzanne Mubarak, headed immediately for the tomb of Sadat, who led the move toward Egypt’s 1979 treaty WithIsrael. There were no public statements.

Clinton bowed his head and seemed to say a brief prayer as he stood before the tomb. Sadat’s white grave sits with the black tombofEgypt’s unknown soldiers under a pyramid-shaped monu-

U from Clinton’s upcoming contro- versial visit to Syria.

“I would urge that the best way toevaluate ... the president’s tripis to look back on it six months form now, not to try to evaluate it in present-day terms,” Christopher said aboard Air Force One.

Asked whether the United States was prepared to take Syria off the list of terrorist nations, Christopher said it would not hap- pen as a result of this trip. “We look for action,” he said.

On threats of violence, Chris- topher said Clinton would not have embarked on the trip if officials did not feel they could ensure ad- equate security.

As he left for the five-day trip, Clinton sought to prod other na- tions in the region to follow the example of Israel and Jordan and bury ancient hostilities.

“This trip is more than a cel- ebration of another important step toward peace; it’s an opportunity to pursue new steps,” Clinton said in departure comments that ap- peared to be directed mainly at Syria.

The trip isClinton’s fourthover- seas this year, and offers him a chance to turn attention away from a contentious midterm election season at home in which his party

En route, Secretary of State Jordan,” Clinton said in daybreak Warren Christopher cautioned remarks at the White House be- against overly high expectations fore heading to nearby Andrews

Air Force base for the 10-hour flight to Cairo.

“Today I embark on a mission inspired by a dream of peace -- a dream as ancient as the peoples I will visit, a dream that, now, after years of struggle, has a new chance of becoming a reality.”

The region has been rocked repeatedly by violence, including last Wednesday’s deadly bus bombing in Israel.

In addition to the signing cer- emony, in a former mine field at Aqaba, Clinton was to address both Jordanian and Israeli parliaments and walk the violence-prone al- leys of the Old City of Jerusalem.

Israeli Security officials warned of possible violence by Hamas, the Muslim group that has carried out a series of recent terrorist at- tacks.

Clinton’s plans have prompted Israeli police to design one of the largest security operations ever, withup to 20,000officersdeployed nationwide and 6,000 for the Jerusalem stretch alone.

Mentioning the violence in his departure remarks, Clinton said: “For all the progress toward peace, indeed, because of that progress, we have witnessed a new wave of terrorism and violence. No step on this long journey requires more patience, more discipline, more courage, than the steps still to come.”

Among recent presidents, Ri- chard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and George Bush all traveled to the region.
