POW WOW: Gala of Native American culture
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A
"The main reason is to see all of my old friends here, but there's a lot of good dancers here that bring out the best out of you," he said.
Last Saturday's Pow Wow was just one event of many for the month of April, which is Native American Month. Standing Bear said celebration and education were the two main goals of the month.
"It's a way for us to celebrate our culture and it allows other people to be educated and share the culture, too," Standing Bear said. "A lot of people are afraid to ask questions because they're afraid of offending someone, but I'd rather have them ask."

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Ariel Sharon engaged in a heated argument yesterday with hardline Cabinet ministers opposed to his plan to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and parts of the West Bank, government officials said.
Israeli Cabinet against proposed withdrawal
WORLD
The spat reflected the tough internal pressure that Sharon faces as he tries to move forward with his proposal.
The prime minister has proposed leaving the areas—removing troops and uprooting settlements in the process—to reduce friction between Israelis and Palestinians after more than three years of fighting. He has
In weekend interviews, Sharon said for the first time that Israel would pull out of all of Gaza, uprooting all the settlements there, reversing an earlier indication that three settlements in northern Gaza would remain.
said he will carry out the plan next year if peace efforts with the Palestinians remain stalled.
The pullback in the West Bank would be much more limited only four of about 135 settlements would be removed.
Palestinians charge that the plan is a ruse to trade Gaza for a permanent grasp over most of the West Bank.
They insist that such moves must be coordinated with the U.S.-backed "road map" peace plan, which leads to a Palestinian state.

HALL: $3 million building will house 50 women

As communal living arrangements, scholarship halls have a strong sense of community in general. Hansen said.
"It has two faces and kind of embraces both communities," Hansen said.

camaraderie among its residents.
Hansen was an original resident of Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall when it opened in 2000, and she said she wished her hall had also been equipped with multiple, smaller common rooms.
Riots in four Iraqi cities kill eight U.S. troops
"We had no existing community coming in, so you see how the actual physical set up of the building affects the outcome of the community." Hansen said.
The staircase that goes up from the main lobby will include spindles from the old staircase in Fraser Hall, he said.
There will also be a historical aspect to the hall's design, Stoner said.
"Every building we do, we try to add a historical touch." Stoner said. "It's stuff like that that kind of gives it a little bit of uniqueness."
The hall will be the only building on campus to use an underground ventilating and air conditioning system, said Vince Avila, associate director of Student Housing.
Avila said the underground air conditioning system was better because the neighborhood wouldn't hear a loud air conditioner.
A second scholarship hall for men will eventually be built immediately north of Rieger Scholarship Hall, Stoner said.
The groundbreaking ceremony for Rieger Hall is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 17.

NAJAF, Iraq — Supporters of an anti-American cleric rioted in four Iraqi cities yesterday, killing eight U.S. troops and one Salvadoran soldier in the worst unrest since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
The U.S. military on Sunday reported two Marines were killed in a separate "enemy action" in Anbar province, raising the toll of American service members killed in Iraq to at least 610.
The riots were supporters of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. They were angry over Saturday's arrest on murder charges of one al-Sadr's aides, Mustafa al-Yacoubi, and the closure of a pro-al-Sadr newspaper.
Near the holy city of Najaf, a gunbattle at a Spanish garrison killed at least 22 people.
Fighting in the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr City killed seven U.S. soldiers and wounded at least 24.
The military said the fighting erupted after members of a militia loyal to radical Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr took control of police stations and government buildings in the neighborhood.
