Mideast-

“The bottom line is that the United States
is the only power that will be listened to
by both sides.”
Albright said both Israeli Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat are making mis-
takes.
“I really do think we are watching
two old, stubborn men who have had a
lifetime hatred of each other being played
out on a scene where hundreds of people
are endangered and people are dying,”
she said. “They need to forget their per-
sonal animosity and think about the
national interests of their people.”
Powell said, in response to intense
pressure for a higher-profile Bush admin-
istration role in settling the conflict, “I
would not rule out meeting with anybody
where it would serve a useful purpose.
“My mind is open ” Powell said. “We are
examining all possibilities.”
In a Wednesday interview with CBS’
”60 Minutes II,” Powell said he was
reviewing what he should do. “It’s not out
of the question that I might go to the
region,” he said. “It depends.... I have to
go to the region if I have a purpose that I
can serve, and there is something con-
crete to be done.”
Also, Powell said, he intends to step
up his efforts to have a Palestinian state
emerge quickly, once negotiations are
resumed.
“The Palestinian people have to see
that there is a political process, and not
just a cease-fire and security process, ...
which will lead quickly to a Palestinian
state,” he said.
Declaring American mediation so far
a failure, the European Union called for a
broad alliance Of nations, including the
United States, to take over peacemaking.
European Commission President
Romano Prodi, in Luxembourg for a
meeting of EU foreign ministers, said, “It
is clear that (American) mediation efforts
have failed and we need new mediation.”
Powell is due to meet with his
European counterparts in Madrid, Spain,
next week.
Even as Powell and the White House
signaled the administration might be
ready to begin brokering peace terms,
they stressed that terror and violence still
stand in the way.
“If progress could be made, the presi-
dent would welcome it,” said Ari
Fleischer, the White House spokesman.
“But realistically speaking, if you live on
the ground in the Middle East today, and
there is so much violence, it makes it much
harder to enter into meaningful political
talks until the violence can be diminished,
eliminated or brought under control.”
Powell, also skeptical that headway
can be made amid carnage, said the lack of
significant negotiations made full-fledged
third-party mediation futile. “We find our-
selves in a circumstance where we can’t
get to that point because we have to get
the security under control,” he said.
Arab leaders, with considerable sup-
port from the Europeans, are demanding
President Bush force Sharon to withdraw
Israeli troops from embattled Palestinian-
held areas.
On Wednesday, Egypt announced
suspension of all diplomatic contacts with
Israel except those that “serve the
Palestinian cause.”
FBI-

possible spies inside the FBI will require
sophisticated “electronic tripwires” acti-
vated when employees try to review off-
limits secrets.
The tripwires “will make it more difficult
(for spies) in a deterrent sense — knowing
they’ll be more apt to be observed,” Webster
said.
The commission’s focus over 13 months
was “to examine the (FBI’s) security tech-
niques in light of what (Hanssen) was able to
do, focusing on prevention and earlier detec-
tion,” Webster said. Webster said he did not
meet with Hanssen.
Webster said that in the past, when sen-
sitive materials typically consisted of paper-
work tucked inside metal filing cabinets, gov-
ernment librarians could prevent an investi-
gator or employee from seeing off-limits doc-
uments.
In an increasingly digital age the FBI must
rely on a new generation of computer trip-
wires that can monitor employees reading,
downloading or printing sensitive documents.
“This is only a small piece of what we’re
talking about, but it’s an important one,”
Webster said.

back” barbeque in the fall for residents of
Cardinal Village. He would continue to empha-
size campus safety and would like to expand
community involvement in Big Red Benefits.
Ondrez Domoneck, current vice president
of SGA, would like to continue and improve
the successful programs like the homecoming
parade and the battle of the bands implement-
ed during his time in office.
He also said he would like to implement a
scholarship sponsored by the SGA that would
serve as an incentive to area high school stu-
dents.
He also would like to increase students’
interaction with their deans, he said.
When asked by the debate panel what his
SGA participation record has been, he asked
the crowd, “How has my participation been?”
Members of the crowd whistled and cheered in
approval.
Domoneck said he will bring knowledge
and experience with him if elected and stresses
the need for diversity in SGA and the adminis-
tration.
The elections for SGA officers will be held
April 9 through April 11.

more. He speaks of fiction as
though it is not only a career move
but also a way of life — something
he really has no control over.
Writers don’t possess what
they write as the mountain climber
doesn’t own the mountain, he said.
A wise man with a life full of
stories, Doctorow summed up his
speech with these closing remarks:
“We must invent ourselves in our
stories because if we don’t do it,
someone else will do it for us.
Quote of the Day
“During an election campaign the
air is full of speeches and vice
versa.”
— Henry Adams
