Anthrax update
continued from page 1
tors await the results from environ
mental tests of 19 congressional
buildings.
So far, nine people in Florida,
New York, New Jersey and now
Washington have fallen ill from
anthrax exposure, three of them
with the more-dangerous pul
monary version. The list of victims
illustrates the insidious nature of
the attacks, which in every case
has failed to infect the apparent in
tended target, such as NBC News
anchor Tom Brokaw. Instead, most
victims have been mail handlers or
staff aides. The anthrax has
claimed only one life, that of
Robert Stevens, a photo editor at
American Media Inc. in Boca Ra
ton, Fla.
Officials would not release the
name of the latest victim, the first
in the nation’s capital.
The U.S. Postal Service imme
diately closed the city’s central
mail-processing center where the
infected employee worked. Offi
cials also closed a Maryland air
mail-processing facility near Bal
timore-Washington International
Airport, which the employee fre
quented.
Anthrax screenings for about
2,200 postal employees from both
locations began Sunday at a city
government building and will con
tinue Monday at District of Colum
bia General Hospital. Those em
ployees will each be given a
10-day supply of the antibiotic
Cipro until results of their nasal
swab tests are confirmed.
The stricken employee went to
the hospital on Friday complaining
of a fever, chest pains and similar
flu-like symptoms. When hospital
personnel learned he was a postal
worker, the man was tested for an
thrax, admitted to the hospital and
immediately placed on antibiotics.
On Sunday the test results con
firmed the man had inhaled an
thrax spores. The prognosis for a

By Drew Brown & Andrew Maykuth

WASHINGTON (KRT) - U.S,
combat jets appeared to pound
front-line Taliban troop positions
north of the Afghan capital of
Kabul on Sunday in what would
be the first strike of that kind.
A Pentagon spokesman would
not confirm the attack, but two
American jets were seen streak
ing overhead in Jibal Saraj inside
rebel-held territory about 15
miles north of Bagram air base.
Explosions were heard in the dis
tance a short while later.
The jets flew in from the north
and appeared to be hitting posi
tions on the other side of Bagram,
toward Kabul, though there was
no official confirmation that they
hit the Taliban front lines.
If the jets hit the Taliban front
lines, it would be the first time
that air strikes have been used to
support a ground offensive by the
anti-Taliban rebel army known as
the United Front and the North
ern Alliance. Such cooperation
would signal a widening of the
U.S.-led campaign to oust the Tal
iban from power and destroy
Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida ter
rorist network.
Since U.S. and British military
strikes began in Afghanistan on
Oct. 7, U.S. military officials have
avoided lending direct aid to Unit
ed Front rebels while diplomatic
efforts are focused on building a
post-Taliban coalition government.
Pakistan, a key partner in the
U.S.-led anti-terrorism alliance,
wants to replace the Taliban but
staunchly opposes a takeover by
the United Front. American and
Pakistani officials hope
Afghanistan's 86-year-old former
king can forge a post-Taliban
coalition government.
Experts say that Special Forces
soldiers are likely to help train
and equip rebel forces and possi
bly to coordinate U.S, air strikes
as the rebels advance on Kabul
and other Taliban-held territory.

person with inhaled anthrax is “not
great,” said Dr. Anne Peterson, Vir
ginia Health Commissioner.
In and around the U.S. Capitol
on Sunday, officials continued
scouring for evidence of anthrax in
congressional buildings; a letter
opened last Monday in Daschle’s
offices had sent anthrax spores
into the air. Twenty-two congres
sional aides and six police officers
were exposed to the anthrax in
that letter, though none have
shown evidence of infection.
Up to 5,000 people on Capitol
Hill have been tested for exposure
to anthrax since the Daschle letter
was discovered.
Four locations near the Capitol
have tested positive for anthrax.
They include the area around
Daschle’s two-floor office suite in
the Hart Office Building; the
mail-handling facility in the Dirk
sen Office building next door; a
Capitol police mail-intake facility
that examines congressional mail
about 15 blocks from the Capitol;
and the Ford Office Building,
which sorts mail for the House of
Representatives.
Authorities remained at a loss to
explain how the anthrax traces got
inside the Ford Office Building or
in the mail facility.
“We’re not at a point where we
can render an opinion as to
whether there is cross-contamina
tion” from the Daschle letter, said
Lt. Dan Nichols, the Capitol police
spokesman.

Cell phone tower put on hold
The construction of a cell phone
communications tower at 15th Av
enue and Villard Street has been
temporarily halted by the city of
Eugene.
The application Sprint PCS sub
mitted to construct a tower a block
away from campus is incomplete,
said city planner Kent Kullby.
While the project itself has not been
denied, Sprint will need to finish
the application process before the
company can proceed, he said.
Sprint has been trying to get a
tower constructed in the campus
area for the past several months.
There are currently no locations
available for siting on campus, Uni
versity Planner David Barta said.
Barta has been working closely
with the company to find a site on
campus to give students better cell
phone reception.
Barta said the ideal spot would
have been atop Prince Lucien
Campbell Hall, but there is already
too much communications equip
ment there.
The University is drawing up
guidelines for any future siting
projects, but the guidelines won’t
be done for at least six months, Bar
ta said. If the application for the
15th Avenue and Villard Street lo
cation is approved, students and lo
cal residents will have 30 days to
offer feedback on the project.

Architecture school
announces endowments
In an attempt to lure top interi
or design and architecture profes
sionals to the University, the
School of Architecture and Allied
Arts announced a new endowed
professorship and a visiting lec
tureship. The endowed professor
ship, named after University grad
uate Margo Grant Walsh, will
initially establish a visiting pro
fessorship with plans to eventual
ly become a resident position
within the department. The Fin
row Distinguished lectureship
will support an annual lecture by
the Walsh professor. The lecture
is a gift from Gunilla Finrow, di
rector of the University Interior
Architecture program from 1988
95, and her husband, Jerry, the
former dean of the School of Ar
chitecture and Allied Arts.
“Our program in interior archi
tecture is recognized nationally
for its superb program,” said ar
chitecture dean Robert Melnick.
“The Grant Walsh Professorship
and Finrow Lecture will enable us
to advance the program’s quality
and long-term impact on the prac
tice, theory and teaching of interi
or architecture.”

University alumna discusses
liberal education
According to Gail Fullerton, a
liberal arts education isn’t that dif
ferent from the Hopi Indian rain
dance. Fullerton, who was the first
woman ever to receive a doctorate
in sociology at the University, said
both have a manifest and latent
purpose.
During a discussion on the lead
ership value of a liberal arts educa
tion in the EMU Boardroom on Fri
day, Fullerton said the manifest
purpose of the rain dance is to bring
rain; the latent purpose is to bring
solidarity to the group. A liberal
arts education’s manifest purpose is
to get a degree, she explained; the
latent purpose is to gain a better un
derstanding of how to interact with
people.
“Communication skills are better
with a liberal arts education,” she
said.
Fullerton, the former president of
San Jose State University, further
explained that classes in the hu
manities and social sciences give
students the ability to understand
group behavior.
“People behave differently in
small groups. If you understand
that, you can mold their opinion,”
she said.
Bill Bankhead, the career liaison
of social sciences for the Career
Center, elaborated on the concept of
understanding group behavior.
“To be able to find the strengths
of others in group interaction is
an important leadership skill,”
Bankhead said.
Fullerton also discussed the im
portance of oral communication
skills and the ability to speak in
front of groups.
