The barrage on the Afghan capital Wednesday night appeared to be the longest and biggest yet in the four-day-old U.S.-led air campaign to disable Taliban leader Osama bin Laden and his followers. Political science professor Jack Fruchtman said the recent air attacks have clearly given the American flyers air supremacy. ""The bombings, in a tradi-tional sense, have achieved the first step in a long process,"" he said. ""The tough part will be on the ground � either trying to find bin Laden and his cells or defeating the Taliban."" Though the bombings have been reported to be effective, political science professor Alison McCartney said that in some areas, a victory cannot be clearly demonstrated. ""It is in the nature of terrorist cells to remain in incubation periods,"" she said. ""Thus, if Americans want to see a 'clear victory,' they must understand that they may not see the whole picture.""

Wyclef to headline Homecoming Tai Shadrick The Towerlight With only two weeks before Homecoming, the Campus Activities Board has announced that hip-hop writer, producer and singer Wyclef Jean will take the stage as this year's headliner. CAB concert chair Ben Ricciardi said finding a well-known musician to play this year's Homecoming was very difficult. ""We've gone through many names that people have heard on campus,"" Ricciardi said. ""Wyclef was a name that would hit all students, not just one style of students. Everybody on our campus will be pretty excited about that."" Jean, who will appear at 7 p.m. Oct. 26 at the Towson Center, became a household name after his groundbreaking work with the Fugees in the mid 1990s and a highly successful solo career fol-lowing the group's break-up. ""We're real excited,"" Ricciardi said. ""Our stu-dents like people who have had hits."" Although Jean is the fourth well-known hip-hop act CAB has sponsored in the past two years, including Cypress Hill, Outkast and De-La Soul, Frye doesn't think students will be annoyed by the lack of diversity.
