***** International Law Panel with Burns Weston and Pres. Osgood
********


Mon. March 10th, 8 PM South Lounge


Iraq, US Foreign Policy and International Law


A Rosenfield Program sponsored presentation about the current dynamic
between international law and US foreign policy.  The main speaker is
Dr. Burns Weston, Chair of The University of Iowa College of Law's
International and Comparative Law Program.  Also speaking will be
Grinnell College President Russell Osgood.


Attached is a recent column written by Prof. Weston that was published
in the Saturday, March 8 Des Moines Register page 7A (cols 1-5) and page
6A (cols 2-5) of the Iowa City Gazette.  It will give you an idea of
what he will be speaking on.

****** Tuesday, 8 PM, South Lounge, Rosenfield Program on Terrorism
*******


Rosenfield Presentation: ZAKA rescue response


[Please note: The Anti-War alliance Meeting has been moved to 9:30 to
accommodate for this event]


Tuesday, March 11; 8 p.m.
South Lounge, Forum


"Four Golden Minutes: An Israeli Terrorism Response Team Volunteer
Speaks of Suicide Bombings" Yaakov Uri, ZAKA Manager.


ZAKA Rescue and Recovery was founded in Israel in 1995 to provide
emergency first aid, assist in rescue efforts, recover and identify
attack victims to ensure they receive a proper burial, and inform the
victims' next of kin. They are called to service at any time of the day
or night, often at great personal risk. Still headquartered in
Jerusalem, Israel, ZAKA has offices worldwide and provides services
regardless of race or creed - to ensure their relatives are notified and
they receive a proper burial. Yaakov Uri developed the idea of putting
paramedics on motorcycles, so these units can get to the suicide bombing
scene within four minutes. ZAKA helped with Columbia and Sept. 11
recovery efforts, and was named Volunteer Organization of the Year 2001
by the United Nations. An informal question and answer session will
follow this presentation. Refreshments will be served.


********** Wednesday, 4:15 PM, South Lounge - Veterans Panel ********
Wed. March 12th, 4:15 South Lounge


Veterans Speak about War


In a time when war becomes less and less of an abstract concept, there
are those in the community who can speak to its reality.  Come hear
veterans talk about their war experience followed by a question/answer
period. 
Co-sponsored by Grinnell's Democrats, Republicans, and Anti-War
Alliance. 


Contact Jill Lofchie [lofchie] with any questions.
