The Institute of Latin American Studies has put a summer Nahuatl
course into the UT-Austin catalogue.  Nonetheless, it is still dependent
on funding from the Dean of Liberal Arts, so it is not yet 100% sure.
People from outside UT-Austin interested in enrolling in the course
for credit should contact Ann Dibble at ILAS  (512) 471-5551.
 
Dates:  July 12 - August 16, 1993
        (There is no commitment to ongong summer programs at this time.)
 
Instructor:  Frances Karttunen
 
Textbook:  Foundation Course in Nahuatl Grammar  (Available from ILAS)
 
The class will meet five days a week and will concentrate on the
basics of Nahuatl grammar.  There will be no native speaker/teacher, and
we will work on acquiring fundamental skills in reading and writing
using the enriched orthography of J. Richard Andrews' Introduction
to Classical Nahuatl and Karttunen's Analytical Dictionary of Nahuatl.
At the end of the course, successful participants should be able to
move on the using Andrews' grammar with facility and/or to work with
speakers of modern Nahuatl dialects.
 
Because there will be daily writing assignments, the class is limited to
fifteen.  If fewer than fifteen enroll for credit, the remaining places
will be open to auditors.  People interested in auditing should write to
Frances Karttunen at the Linguistics Research Center, P.O. Box 7247,
University of Texas, Austin, TX 78713-7247.

Subj:	Wanted: Case Histories on discrimination in U.S. Immigration              Policy


The producers of African Connections(R) are conducting research on the issue of
discrimination against persons of African ancestry seeking to enter the
United States.

While success stories of immigrants from Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Cuba,
Mexico and the Indian subcontinent abound with regularity in the popular media,
 a strong perception exists that often inpenetrable barriers exist for Blacks
seeking to enter the U.S. - whether as students, tourists, or as political
refugees.

The detention of Hatians and the denial of a student visas to African students
call for a very serious examination of United States immigration policies and
their implementation.

AFRICAN CONNECTIONS(R) will prepare a 30 minute video presentation examining
 therealities of this important topic, and its far reaching implications for the
African and African-American communities. The program will air during the
second half of 1993.

Your assistance in providing research leads and case studies is greatly
appreciated.

Title: MOZAMBIQUE: DONOR CONFERENCE TO SET PEACE PROCESS IN MOTION


maputo, dec 14 (ips) -- having aquired 760 million dollars at
last week's donor conference in paris, mozambique will once
again be the subject of discussion at a donors meeting to be
held in the italian capital rome dec. 15 to 16.

the conference has been convened by the the italian
government which played a major role as mediator during the two
years of talks which culminated in the oct. 4 peace agreement
between the mozambique national resistance renamo and the
government.

according to mondays edition of the official daily
'noticias', the rome conference is expected to announce new
financial arrangements pertaining to the concretization of the
peace agreement.

''the rome confernece is like an alarm bell to keep the
attention of the international community on the peace process in
our country,'' said deputy minister of cooperation oldimiro
baloi.

the mozambiquan government is pinning its hopes on the rome
conference whose results will determine the depth of the
financial difficulties which could compromise the implementation
of the peace agreement.

the implementation of the peace process will involve the
reintergration of refugees who fled the country during the 16
years of civil war, the demobilization of 107,000 government and
renamo soldiers and financial assistance to organise multiparty
elections.

the demobilization of both governent and renamo forces is
expected to cost about 73.2 million dollars while the electoral
process is expected to cost 80 million dollars. the
reintergration of 4.5 million refugees and returnees will cost
around 87 million dollars.

the paris conference, considered a success by the government,
placed emphasis on funding that is necessary for the running of
the economy whiile issues relating to national reconstruction
were left to the rome conference.

part of the 760 million dollars donated by the world bank,
the international monetary fund (imf), the european community
and the u.n. development programme (undp) will be devoted to
food aid to the victims of famine while the remaining funds
will be used as concessionary loans and assistance with the
balance of payments. (end/ips/trd/tvh/92)

Oh thanks for that. The Weekly Mail is notorious for its shoddy

criticising it for precisely that. Best read proper research,
eg. Univ Natal Extra Mural Studies, Indicator SA, SAIRR etc.
Avoid the HRC/CASE/Weekly Mail (except for counter-examples).

My friend,
Walloping is not what I would call the results seen here.  The result was
merely due to a slight impediment in rising to the occasion under the
circumstances, not a walloping.
The U.S. vs Iraq was a walloping,
Clinton vs Bush was a walloping,
Rawlings vs the rest was a walloping,
Lenox Lewis vs Ridick Bowe was a walloping
But in football it has to be at least 7-0 to be a walloping.
It was the saltiness in the air from the sea that probably caused the
players much discomfort, and slowed them down.
Next time will be a different matter. :-)  :-)

how straight do you want my arguments to be if you continue being evasive?
You said the US is the policeman of the moment. You said she would only come
out of its cocoon if public pressure was enough to warant her coming out. and
by this you would want us to believe that the Liberian crisis has not drawn
enough public outcry for the policeman to come out. i still maintain that any
policeman who dances to the gallery should have his/her uniform and rank 
withdrawn with immediate effect. if the Us is the world's police of the moment,
she must be seen so in all circumstances. her only "colony" in Africa has been
burning since 1989 and all she could do was to withdraw her embassy staff to
safety, allowing the birds to die away and their reamins to be picked by the
ubiquitous vultures of the rain forest. if you still have any thing in defence
of the US, come out now or may we not hear from you on this issue again on this
newsgroup. afterall, you are already getting tired.

I think we probably use this language differently ... consider the
