"Not only do the foreign students have a terrific experience, but our American students have classes and become friends with (international students), and that's really powerful and a terrific educational opportunity." Many students did not know the event was planned but were attracted to it when walking through the Union. "The music in the background and everything going on makes for a really fun atmosphere," said Student Body Vice President Toby Collet. Dheerajvalkya Gadicherla, a graduate student in mechanical engineering, said one of the most popular snack items offered on Friday was an Indian sweet called gulab jamun. He laughed when one person sampling the snack described it as being similar to a doughnut. MaryAnne Smith, office manager for Student Recruitment and High School Services, described the snack as "all the good things you remember in life rolled into a little ball." p.williams@ Amos Guiora of the Institute for Global Security Law and Policy at Case Law School.

"When you're in a space where you don't feel you belong, you'll do anything to feel you belong," Benmayor said. "And sometimes this can sever ties with their family." Judith Carmona, an educa- tion, culture and society major, said living two different lives at the same time can be difficult, especially for college students. "But it's important to respect both of the spaces you are in, especially when they might be at odds with each other," said Carmona, who moved to the United States from Mexico. Silvia Ibarra-Garcia, an educational leadership and policy graduate student, said educating immigrants about the changes they might be facing in their new country is important to help ease the our children cannot look at us. If our children cannot look at us, then we are not ever going to conduct what I call 'successful counterterrorisnx'" Hoffman said violence is a necessary tactic for fighting terrorism. "We have to kill them, or capture them or break their backs," he said. Along with these strategies, he said, there must be smart approaches to isolate radicals. "It's not enough to rely on violence," Hoffman said. Some panelists advocated a less-violent approach to counterterrorism. "How can you fight terrorism by means of transition. "It's really important to share that knowledge so they don't feel so alienated," Ibarra-Garcia said. Carmona and Ibarra-Garcia are both part of a pilot project at the U, "Telling Latina/o Testimonies," which spurred from Benmayor's cultural citizenship project in California. The group, which is made up of 22 Latina women, meets once a week and will present a panel in April. Time and location for the panel are pending. a.breton@ chronicle.utah.edu terrorism?"

Several Representatives said during Tuesday's meeting that they would have supported the resolution if it called for a smaller fee climb. The Board of Regents will vote on the fee change along with the U's proposed second-tier tuition increase at its meeting next week. Students would have been given free admission to all productions in the College of Fine Arts under the $5 jump in fees, but not under the current proposed increase. Advocates of the fee increase said a thriving arts program is essential for any university. "I believe (that) fine arts in the whole country are in a critical state," said Sen. Kacee Kniazeva of the College of Humanities. Other student legislators didn't like the idea of making their constituents pay . any more fees. "I don't want to place that burden on students at this time," said Rep. Tucker Morgan; who represents students with undeclared majors. Kirkham said he still plans to advocate for ASUU support for a separate $3 fee increase to fund study abroad programs at the Senate and General Assembly next monthIf the study abroad fee gets approval from the Senate and Assembly, it will not go into effect until fall of 2008, because any student fee increase must be submitted to the Board of Regents along with second-tier tuition. Kirkham said he will not push the study abroad fee unless he gets the Senate and Assembly to vote in favor of a resolution supporting the increase. d.gardiner@ •\ chronicle.utah.edu NOW HIRING Part-time Package Handlers $9.00-$ 10:25 Ground -Tuition Assistance -$.25 Raise after 90 days -$ 100 bonus after 80 hours of employment -Weekly Pay j o b Hotline -Advancement Opportunities 801.294.5990 Apply in person: Monday thru Friday 7:00 AM-9:00 PM 720 North 400 West North Salt Lake / FOUNDERS DAY 2007 A CELEBRATION OF INNOVATION TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 2007 - LITTLE AMERICA HOTEL To commemorate the founding of the University of Utah in 1850, the Alumni Association each year honors four alumni and one non-alumnus/a who have distinguished themselves professionally, served their local and national communities, and supported the University in its mission.
