In his letter to the editor (of
Insight), Bruce Scott calls for the
Impeachment of AS President
David Niksssrian. Action that
drastic seemingly lan't caUed
for. but I believe tbe implications
In Nlkssarian'* actions warrant
close inspection and im¬
peachment m»y be tbe only way
to remove the problem.
The first area of concern is
pre** freedom. The ability to
laugh at one'* self U ■ virtue
Nlkssarian (and others in the AS
senate) obviously does not have.
If Nlkssarian feels he's been
defamed, he's free to file suit or
whatever. But he* not free to
regulate what the paper prinU by
withholding iu fund*. A free
press is essential to our free
society and though defamation of
character U not something I
condone, the press should be
aubject to reprimand, not
restriction.
The second area of concern it
Nlknarlan'i    unconcern.    A
In the first thirteen years only
a few people of Mecca had been
converted. But Muhammad's
fame begun to spread beyond the
city of Mecca and he waa invited
to Join hia followers In Medina
The leaders of Meccan tribes,
when seeing that the number of
Muhammad's followers was
lncreaalng both in Mecca and In
other cities, decided to murder
hlm.
They devlaed a plan where 50
men aelected from different
tribes would gather on a certain
night and atUck Muhammad's
house. Through revelation
Muhammad learned of thelr
plan. He discussed the situation
with AU and they flnaUy decided
that someone else should sleep In
Muhammad'* bed that night
Muhammad himself aet out for
Medina   under   a   cover   of
McEwen's review blasted
All, honest, faithful, trust¬
worthy, and a devoted disciple of
Muhammad, offered to be tbe
victim of the assassins' attack.
He volunteered to sleep in
Muhammad'* bed so th*
assassins would think that
Muhammad waa there; and
when they attacked, AU would be
kUled and Muhammad would
have had time to reach Medina.
According to their plan, AU
slept in Muhammad'a house «nd
The Holy Prophet Muhammad
left Mecca for Medina. The
plotter* entered the house and
decided to wait until dawn to
asaaaainate the Prophet. At
dawn, when they drew their
swords, AU arose and the plotter*
were Uken «back. What could
they do? AU'i courage and eetf-
aacriflce had robbed tbem of
Iheir opportunity.

 _j's bypassing of the
Media Council is a serious affront
to our principles of government
and should not be tolerated.
Can we Just ask Nlkssarian for
an apology and let it go at that? I
don't beUeve so. I, for one, am
unwilling to trust him further.

alternative—at a lesson to

You can look at "Liner" In
one of two ways. On tbe positive
side, the record is the
culmination of years of hard
work, and represents the finest In
country music. On the other
hand, one has to wonder If
Emmylou hss set too high a
standard for herself with
"Luxury Liner." Where can she
go from here? Every artist

is the peak of peaks.

Student calls for masses to unite
In an era where Imperialism
snd all reactionary force* are
seeking to regain their long lost
gains, the people's position
becomes clear and decisive. It
becomes impossible to allow the
slightest vacillation of certain
petty-bougeols phrase-
mongernre. Keeping this in mind,
we realize that the Ethiopian
masses together with the
Erltrean peoples have to fight
and atruggle againat the
scoundrels by all means
availgble.
It is noted how the enemies of
the people use John Westenberg
as spokesman of malicious Ues
and accusations. These running
dogs seek to deny thi
dsmentnl revolutionary
developmenU and relentlessly
fight sgsimt the mssses
uprising. The counter¬
revolutionaries hsve shown their
true colors. These opportimUU
have failed to grasp the meaning
of the revolution and have
signaled to the people that their '
class interest la the same as tbe
struggle of the Erltrean masses.
However, due to the lack of
political maturity in the
revolutionary Ideologies of
Marxism, Leninism, the
Eritrean masses have accepted
such illusory tactics.
In regards to Eritrea, another
