Jordanian prince advocates democracy for Muslim countries

By Liz Yepsen | January 27, 2004

Democracy is possible in the Muslim world, a member of Jordan's royal family told an audience of students and community members Monday afternoon. Jordan's Prince El Hassan bin Talal said communication and "a new humanitarian order" were necessary for establishing democracy in his speech, "Can Democracy Take Root in the Muslim World?" Hassan said that many aspects of democracy are compatible with Muslim beliefs, including the equality of all human beings. "Muslims are called by the Koran to observe the variety of God's creation as a sign of God's creativity," Hassan said. One obstacle in the path to democracy is communication.

Dem. candidates debate

By Kate Carolan | January 26, 2004

Presidential candidates Howard Dean, Joe Lieberman and Dennis Kucinich filed into Moore Theatre Sunday afternoon to agree on several points -- most notably, that the Bush administration has kept women from reaching equality on an array of levels. Speaking at a forum sponsored by Lifetime Television and ABC's "Good Morning America," the candidates found little to argue on, and instead took time to tout their individual accomplishments in elected office. Dean was accompanied to the event by his wife, physician Judith Steinberg Dean, and Lieberman came with his wife, Hadassah. Kucinich, twice-divorced, is currently unattached. Dean, Lieberman and Kucinich answered questions posed by the event's moderator, ABC's Claire Shipman, who gave each of them a few minutes to address women -- a demographic comprising a large proportion of the Democratic base and 52 percent of voters in the 2000 election. The floor was then opened to topics selected and approved before the start of the debate. Dean stressed the importance of an education component in early childcare, as well as the significance of providing affordable daycare as means for keeping women in the workplace. Lieberman, in one of his many criticisms against the current administration, condemned President Bush for the state of the Headstart program and for "turning his back" on the lower and middle class.

By Steven Orbuch | January 26, 2004

Presidential hopeful John Kerry gave a harsh response to Republican criticism that he was unpatriotic in speaking out against the war in Iraq during a speech Saturday afternoon in Cook Auditorium. "I'm not gonna let Tom DeLay and the rest of [the Republican-led Congress] define patriotism for Democrats and for America when they are leaving countless numbers of veterans waiting months to see a doctor for the first time," Kerry said. The Bush administration's reliance on military prowess in international affairs is inconsistent with its neglect for army veterans, Kerry said.

By Zachary Goldstein | January 26, 2004

Though few people on campus use the services of telephone operators, those that do dial "0" frequently are being greeted by a new voice this term -- that of a computer.

The service, called IntelliSpeech, utilizes voice-recognition software to direct calls to the appropriate party.
