Troy, Jr. "" After some argument over commitments"", the SGA Senate voted on Tuesday to pass a bill allocating $2500 per year to Planned Parenthood, Inc. Shelia Culberson, speaking for the Appropriations Committee, said that the local director of Planned Parenthood believed he had a commitment from SGA last year to fund his operations. Therefore, the Committee proposed that they begin the appropriation of $2500 per year retroactively with last year, making 0 this year's payment $5000. According A to Culberson, if the man didn't get the J, money, ""he would pack up his bags �, and go."" There was much discussion over a bill recommending a representative of an organization be at a meeting of the Appropriations Committee when a request of theirs is being con-sidered nri . Some Senators stated loudly ""if they want the money, they better find out when the meeting is and be there!"" Others voiced consideration for the organizations, saying that a simple notification would make things easier.

Dyan attributes this to ""A change in Egypt based on per-sonalities and the bitter lesson the Egyptians learned from fighting in the past .four wars) and getting nowhere."" Dyan also asserted he was not happy with the agreement between Israel and the Arab countries because Israel did not have a clear com-mitment from Egypt concerning actual peace. The former minister of defense blamed ""everybody"" for the United States substituting financial and military aid to Israel instead of ob-taining a clear understanding from Egypt. Ile said ""compensation and substitute"" was no good. Only through the United States will there be peace in the Middle East, declared 11yan. this being poltical. not military. Dyan sees the U.S. as a balance against Russian forces because ""we can't be rid of belligerence until Russia is out and Russia is still there with tanks."" Dyan's term personality change refers to Anwar Sadat becoming President of Egypt in 1970 replacing Abdul Nassar. Sadat is ""heading for peace,"" said Dyan, after realizing he could get more territory with Kissinger there with his forces. so he turned to the political field. The ex-Prime Minister then outlined the outcome of the past four Middle East wars, maintaining that United States political involvement is necessary in preserving peace in the Arab and Israeli countries. During the . first war in 1948, Ralph Bunch acted on behalf of the United Nations in the Middle East to obtain peace, related Dyan. ""All he had was plenty of good will,"" said the general, and all he could do was talk. Peace was not achieved at this time because there was only one man trying to bring four Arab countries and Israel together.""

The United States, under President Eisenhower ""told,"" Israel's Prime Minister Ben Gurian to with-draw the captured lands of the Sinai and surrounding territory. ""When President Nassar closed the Waterways again in 1967, it was seen the United 'Nations had no real power,"" said Dyan. ""When Israel went to the United States, under Johnson,"" reported Dyan. ""The 'U.S. replied they weren't the policemen of the world."" It was at this point Israel decided to take care of themselves and e'ar ensued in 1967. ""The 1973 Yom Kippur war waged by Syria and Egypt did take the Israelis by surprise,"" maintained Dyan, ""because the Israelis rely on back up and mobilization."" Dyan said with only :3 million people in t he yountry, they can't have men wait ine on the line for war. He compared I he :1 million inhabitants with thy I million people living in Syria alone. ""When the Israelis overcame their surprise and fought in the war, t he Russians felt the Arabs were not doing well and so sent Russian Paratroopers to help protect Cairo,"" said Dyan. After the 3rd Egyptian Army was besieged by the Israelis, the Russians sent more troops over. ""Because peace negotiations did not work in 1948 and U.N. forces did not help the Middle East situation, the Security Council set a peace conference in Geneva sponsored by the two super powers, the United States and Russia,"" reported the General. Dyan maintained Israel will work within the peace agreement and should be supported, but is waiting for the Arabs to sit down and make peace. organizations be notified when and where their request is being con-sidered.
