conflict of in guidelines let me suggest the following Victor Turner an an thropologist has studied the people of northwestern Zambia for many years and has developed a philosophical view of ritual based on his reasearch One of the rituals of the bu presented in his book The Ritual Process is the ritual sur rounding the accession of new man to the position of tribal chief Any man who would be chief must undergo a ritual death and burial The idea is that private citizen is buried with his per sonal and family interests The burial is symbolic so neither citizen nor his personal in teres ts are permanently interred When citizen is dug up a few hours later he rises a new man a big man who will judge the fairs of his people with fairness I Bible Digegt I And said Verily I say unto you Except ye be converted and become as little children ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as the little child the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven Matthew Humility Is a trademark of peo ple who are changed by the grace of God Pride keeps us from God Humility before Him draws us near to Him What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward Psalm You can God He is the greatest giver of all lime and eternity Thank Him for His goodness to you As in water face unswereth to face so the heart of man to man Proverbs Whats on

Conflict of Interest Ritual for all public officials What would have happened if Bill had been ritual ly buried by an army of bulldozers in his Fantasy Gardens theme park Maybe nothing Perhaps we should forget the ritual part topic is integrity in leader ship AN EASY QUESTION Are the following leaders will ing to die for their followers or willing to have their followers die for In a democracy to die for a leader is to lose an elec tion There are many ways to die Ted Kennedy has tried a few of them Miraculously hes been revivified each time For a citizen to die is to be fleeced There are many ways to be fleec ed For a citizen to die also means to die This is also true for both the leaders and citizens of rundemocratic countries 1 The Manchester Guardian reported last month that the Emir of Kuwait has an army of US Engineers four hundred workers in all restoring gold plated bathroom fixtures in his new Palace fixtures that run hot and cold water while the people of Kuwait City have no water at all The Washington Post noted that burned Bush on Bush s trip to Ottawa last month Mulroney bad proposed a summit for world leaders to discuss resistence to the sale of weapons to

past March was the third anniversary of Saddam Husseins chemical attack on the Kurdish town of Halabja where an estimated 5 people were killed A letter from five British MP to the Guardian notes the hypocrisy of a Conservative government that wouldn sign a motion in Parliament on the first anniversary of the attack the attack government was supporting Hus sein financially and militarily They say In view of its record no reliance can be placed on the British government to defend the rights of the Kurdish people A FINAL NOTE FROM HUGO YOUNG Mr Young is a columnist for the Manchester Guardian who supported the war in the Gulf In the most recent Guardian he writes One must sometimes give statesmen the benefit of the doubt Never again however at least as far as American policy in the Middle East is concerned Since his congressional oration Bush has left the moral high ground forever The world is not safer for the Kurds or anyone else Mr Young believes that Mr call for a new better
