Bess FOGHORN STAFF Jessica Dryden-Cook MANAGING EDITOR Arnold Castano, a University of San Francisco MBA student, and his friend tightly hugged the brown bags overwhelming with extra food as they approached a group of homeless people singing on Haight Street. "We're passing out food tonight, are you hungry?" The grubby bunch halted their musical rendition and flashed their toothless smiles. They began searching through the left over sandwiches and pastries from Crossroad's Cafe, which are left outside its doors at the end of the night. Castano and his friend watched in amazement as turkey and cheddar cheese sandwiches and almond-studded bear claws disappeared from the once full bags and brought elated grins to the rowdy group. "It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to give to others and to be a part of helping someone's life," Castano said. "I like to get my friends together and make [volunteering] an event, to share the experience with everyone." Castano's and his friend's effort is just one example of USF's holiday giving and volunteering spirit.

Levada, joined the faculty, students and other members of the University of San Francisco in officially welcoming the Rev. Stephen A. Privett, S.J. as the 27th president of the University of San Francisco. St. Ignatius Church was the venue for two days of official events, including a Mass of the Holy Spirit on November 17 and an inauguration ceremony on November 18. The mass and inauguration celebrated both Privett's new leadership and the deaths of Jesuits and women employees at the University of Central America eleven years ago.

John P. Schlegel, S.J. designated the present ROTC building as the future site for the new McLaren School of Business and Management. Still in the preliminary planning stages, the new building will likely be built in what is called the "underhill" area of the University of San Francisco Lone Mountain Campus between the new Jesuit residence, Loyola House, and the School of Education. The actual building is expected to take up from 50,000 to 70,000 square feet and will be structurally designed to "hug the side of the hill," said Eugene Muscat, Associate Dean of the School of Business and Management. "We've outgrown the current business school facilities," said Muscat. He said that there were three main reasons why the University of San Francisco decided that it was time to build a new business school building. "We've added faculty and don't have anywhere to put them," he said. "There are also no real social spaces in the present building for students to informally meet or just have a cup of coffee," he said. "I've seen what other business schools offer their students simply in regards to space and environment, and we can do the same for our students," he added. The third reason for the new building is the technology issue. "I think we would be offering students the highest quality of education," Muscat said. The next several months are planning stages, according to Muscat. "The most important thing right now is getting the drawings created and approved, and the dean of the school [Gary Williams] is overseeing much of that." Williams is in Asia and was unable to comment. Fundraising activities are already underway but won't kick into full gear until designs and layouts for the building are approved and final. University Advancement and the School of Business and Management are partnering in fundraising endeavors. The question of the current McLaren School of Business and Management is also an issue. "Right now we're part of a dormitory,' said Muscat. Once the building is finished, it is likely that the McLaren building will revert to dorms, an obvious benefit for students living on campus.

The University of San Francisco community continued its discussion of the Middle East conflict and its repercussions for students on November 27 in Crossroads Caft. A panel of speakers gave their viewpoints and opinions on the conflict in a forum called "A Fractured Peace." The speakers included Stephen Zunes, associate professor of politics and Seth Brysk, the director of San Francisco Hillel. Assistant professor of politics •Cynthia Boaz mediated the discussion. Both Zunes and Brysk called for a peaceful end to the fighting, but each had a different perspective on the issue. WhUe Brysk emphasized the importance of negotiation between Israelis and Palestinians, Zunes focused on the inappropriate actions of the US government and its involvement in the conflict. "As a Jew, as an Israeli citizen, the recent round of violence is something that deeply troubles me and Israel," said Brysk, who works with Jewish students at USF, SF State University and other institutions. "It's scary and tragic. I think both sides really want to end this." Zunes cited the US as the cause of much of the Middle Eastern violence. "There's a myth out there - that the US is the best hope for peace," Zunes said. "It's the opposite. The US has been screwing things up." In contrast, Brysk said, "I think it's naive to say that the US is causing this conflict. This violence has been occurring for centuries, since the rule ofthe Ottomans." The two speakers disagreed over the truth of certain points, and Brysk took offense at some of Zunes' topics. "I have problems with some of Zunes' facts," said Brysk. Both Zunes and Brysk attacked Yassir Arafat. "Arafat is really slimey," said Zunes. "The Palestinian Authority officials have Rolexes, Mercedes cars and villas." Brysk said, "The Palestinians have the reputation of not being good negotiators. If only the Palestinians had another Nelson Mandela." After the two men spoke, they fielded questions from students. Topics discussed included the role of Palestinian children in the conflict, the reality of a peace and the negotiation skills of each side. One student, a Palestinian, addressed the speakers and audience with an impassioned description of her background and emotional reactions to the conflict. "What's underpinning a lot ofthe violence now is that it's a war between teenagers," she said. "I'm Palestinian, but we are all part of the human race."
