Palestinian Problems Discussed
Four Levels of Conflict Noted
By DAVID BARTEL
Kansan Staff Writer
An expert on Middle Eastern affairs, though he might disclaim the title, is visiting the University of Florida as part of American Universities Field Staff (AUFS) program. The expert, E. A. Baye, a director of the Mediterranean Studies in Rome, is lecturing in sociology, political science and journalism classes from Israel, Iran, Italy and Somalia.
IN AN INTERVIEW in the Kansas University Tuesday, Bayne, a former State Department counterintelligence force, the forces he had observed at work in the region for the past 25 years also the impact of recent events.
Bayne said he sees four basic levels of confrontation in the Mideast:
Arab-Israeli, which needs little development, long sarcasm and border violence have made this the most visible, and the most volatile, of the area's struggles.
East-West, which began with the Russian intrusion into the Mediterranean in the 1800's and then continued until present time this conflict is shown by the presence of Russian and American naval units in the
Different degrees of modernization within the Arab bloc: "There is a sense of Arabness or Arab brotherhood," Bayne said, "but it has been cut into pieces in the rise of national governments."
In discussing the Arab-Israeli conflict, Bayne said that religion plays an important part, especially in and in present problems.
In the Midaseat, religion is
known. To be Arab is to be Islamic and
to be Israel is to be Jewish,
though of course that is not an
exception.
THE TWO RELIGIONS-
Islam and Judaism—have fun-
tered each other. Bayne said, Islam was created in an agrarian society of the past and has not greatly evolved
from its ancient origins, strongly in the past and,

therefore, Arabs tend to look backward.
Instead, modernization is the creed of a highly active minority who are often excluded from society, generally Western, and now live in the kibbutz, or Jewish village.
IN ISRAEL, modernization
defines two groups. Bayne said.
One is a large body of people who
have been exiled from Israel,

prophecy, with regard for armies
of the enemy in the Middle East,
"treated in modernization. They
This is a theologian's argument to explain differences in the two cultures, Bayne said, and its application, though limited, is useful, particularly in contexts conflicts caused by modernization.
Those of the communities are western-minded and forward-looking people who value tradition Judaism in favor of the rational scientific approach to Jewish life. They enter into national holidays because they have a keen sense of their heritage.
Judiaism, however, is a covenant between God and his servant, a kindness such a covenant must be warded looking. Bayne said. The Jew rejects the past in order to go forward in his relationship with God.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS,
particularly the civil war in
Jordan, have forced royalist forces, have illustrated
this division of national identity.
The war was basically the consequence of U.S. secretary of State William Rogers' peace plan, he said. The Rogers plan calls for negotiation on issues which means, implicitly, that the Aralta must recognize the state of Iraq.
"The Palestinians have never recognized Israel," Bayne said.

Women's Coalition Increases Activity
The Women's Coalition in Lawrence is now working on providing abortion counseling, birth care information distribution, a self-defense class and a children's day care center that they wish to
The Women's Coalition met Tuesday evening in the big 8 Conference Hall, where 24 women present discussed working right now on recruiting more interested persons for the organization and its campus; her dermay and working towards establishing a day care center for young children while their mothers were nearby.
"The manager of the Yuk makes you wear short skirts that are above your waist and haras a customer about buying a pitcher instead of a mug and the proper techniques for getting tips cause they only pay $1.15 an item."
Job discrimination was discussed by some of the women present at the meeting, the past. One woman present commented on her own experience.
Dick Wright, manager of Mr. Yuk, said Tuesday evening when asked about the working conditions at the Yuk, "We encourage pitchers, of course, they (customers) get more for their sports than we do when they buy a pitcher. We have the uniforms tailor-made for our league." They are very good on the weekends."
Radio station KAUH has asked Women's Coalition to participate in the movement concerning the Women's Liberation movement and it's
"They cannot. Their war is the obliteration of the Jewish state."
THE PALESTINIAN UPRISING was healthy. Bayne says it brought to light what he conceived the key to what must be turbulent.
The group plans to have two women present 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday in the Women's Coalition building at Wesley Foundation to care for children for short periods. Mothers are urged to bring their children to attend class or run errands. A spokesman announced Tuesday night at the Women's Coalition meeting that the Free University will host an encounter group on Women's Liberation 7:30 on each Thursday evening. The encounter session will open to both men and women.
"The problem is not an Egyptianfaeliar problem. The heart of the matter is Palestine—who will live there and under what government is faced, all of these wars are irrelevant," Bayne said.
Women's Coalition will meet each Tuesday at 7:30 in the women's center in Wesley Foundation.
"Those who lived through the Hitler years have a sense of collective guilt for what the Nazis did to the Jews."
At present, there is no way to get at the palestine issue, he says. He says he refused to recognize faral and, therefore, no talks can take place.
Bayne said he thought the Israeliis would make concessions to establish peace in the area.
"I DO THINK they would be able to support us as long as there is full access to the city for Jews and there is a democratic administration."
Discussing the death of Gamal Abdel Nadass and its effect on the Mideast, Bayne said he foresaw that the rise of Saddam's successor in Sadat, Sadaf's auntess.
"Sadat was close enough to Nasser to represent his policies for the time being, though I think we have better military would like to liberalize Egyptian government, perhaps introducing a parliamentary system with two or more parties, that is unresolved," Bavne said.
AS FOR AMERICAN INVESTIGATION Bayne said there were two principal areas of concern—American Defense and U.S. Enterprise.
"American interest in the Mideast begins and ends with the defense of the United States," he said. "Midwest oil is not crucial to Europe, and we defend Europe and our defenses depends on European support."
"We need Europe and Europe needs oil," he said. "That gives us the right opportunity—not primary importance, but a strong secondary one."
HE SAID HUMANITARIAN CONCERNS stemmed from the Second World War.
"Those of us who lived through the Hiller years and the horror of the 1980s, as well as those collective guilf for what the Nazis did to the Jews," he said. "We have to ask ourselves how that happened in our time, important consideration, too."
