This small relief is part of Butcher Hall, next to the side door to the
Chemistry Lecture Hall. The griffin has the face of Harry B. Welser, who
was a professor of Chemistry when the building was built in 1925. The
figure being torn apart in the lower- 4ft corner is a student.

Associate Dean of Academic Af-
fairs Don Johnson said he under-
stands the sentiments of the stu-
dents. "A lot of words get lost when
dealing with memos. It's a very for-
mal way of dealing with something.
The students and faculty getting to-
gether will help [the situation]," lie
said. .
Tlie reaction amoiig t he students
as a whole has been mixed, accord
ing to Chemical Engineering gradu-
ate student Dean Kassmann. "In
some cases it infuriated students, in
others it raised eyebrows," Kassman
Ji.

I for a second term
United Nations Secretary Gen-
eral has been vetoed by the United
States,
U.S. ambassador Madeleine
Albright cast the only vote against
the Egyptian diplomat among the
15-member Security Council. The
White House has a number of com-
plaints against Boutros-Ghali, such
as his bad relationsip with Albright
and His promise to serve only one
term.
JJNe main reason the White
Hous^opposes him, however, is the
slow pace with which he is reform-
ing the U.N. bureaucracy. Finding a
successor to Boutros-Ghali might
be difficult because he has not with-
drawn his name from consideration.

Last week, President
Bill Clinton approved a plan
that would dispatch 1,000 combat-
ready troops and 3,000 support per-
sonnel to Goma, Zaire. These ef-
forts were to be part of a Canadian-
led multinational relief mission to
relieve some of the hostilities be-
tween the Tutsis and Hutus. The
United Nations effort will deliver
humanitarian supplies and help re-
patriate thousands of refugees who
fled Zaire's ethnic violence. On Tues-
day, Defense Secretary William
Perry announced that the Clinton
administration decided to scale
down their plans to send a large U.S.
combat force. Instead, the U.S.-de-
ployed aid will consist of support
troops rather than combat troops
and will operate chiefly in Rwanda.

A joint meeting of faculty and
staff to clarify the issues is planned
for the end of the week. According
to Johnson, close attention will be
given to the problems addressed by
the students.
Kassmann remains optimistic
that problems will be solved quickly.
"1 have realized the beliefs of the
faculty and students on many core
points are not that far from one an-
other
It's simply a matter of communi-
cation. While the tone and language
of the faculty's memo was unfortu-
nate, it is not something that is in-
surmountable, just another stepping
stone."
