Arab students get legal advice
Harassment not likely, but possible
By Daralyn Trappe
Emerald Reporter
Arab students at the University were
informed Thursday of their legal rights
and urged not to tolerate any form of ha
rassment. Several speakers also addressed
the issuo of dealing with questions from
the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"If you are contacted by the FBI or any
other law enforcement agency that wants
to talk to you, you don't need to do so
without an attorney." said David
Fidanque of the American Civil Liberties
Union.
Students at tho University are entitled
to legal assistance through tho Universi
ty's Legal Services, ho noted.
“Wo don't oxpoct at this point that
there will be many visits from the FBI,"
Fidanque said, adding that he would like
to Ixi informod If uny government repre
sentative approaches an Arub or Arab
American resident.
There is also a potential threat from cit
izens who muy he "getting whipped up
into a war-time frenzy," he suid. "There
are peoplo in this country who assume
things about Arabs — that they will have
certain views. People take certain actions.
"If harassment dtxis take place, I think
we can count on our local government to
take action.”
Ho urged Arab students to speak to
someone — either at the University's Of
fice of International Services, to the
ACLIJ or the Eugene Police Department.
Peter Briggs, director of OIS, told stu
dents they should feel free to express
their opinions about the war. tuition

Gulf War
DHAHRAN, Saudi Arabia
(AH) — In endless hours of
air strikos, IJ.S. and allied
pilots rocked Baghdad, key
bridges and the bunkers of
front-line troops Thursday,
and blow two more Iraqi
"getaway jets" out of the
sky.
A second veteran U.S.
battleship joined in the bom
bardment of Iraqi-held Ku
wait.
Tho pounding was having
an impact. Returning pilots
told of a devastated land
scape in Kuwait, and jour
nnllsls near the border found
first-hand evidence — four
Iraqi soldiers who turned
themselves in muttering
over and over about the
"bombing ... bombing ...
bombing.”
