An Autonomous Iraqi Kurdish Entity is in Turkey’s Best Interest
Henri Barkey, chair of the international relations department at Lehigh, wrote an op-ed on a possible Kurdish state within Iraq that appeared once again, this time in an international paper. The United States prefers a unified, democratic Iraq organized along federal lines after sovereignty is transferred on June 30, Barkey writes. But one likely outcome could be a country split into two, with Sunni and Shiite Arabs coalescing against the Kurds, whom they increasingly see as U.S. collaborators. Already the Kurds have threatened to quit the new caretaker government if it alters the interim constitution's provisions on Kurdish autonomy. Yet a strong federal Kurdish state in northern Iraq could be a significant plus for U.S.--and Turkish--interests, especially if it developed in an environment of improving U.S.-Turkey relations.

Cafeteria Control Is No Picnic for Schools
Karen Evans Stout, associate professor of educational leadership at Lehigh, was mentioned in an article about behavior in a school cafeteria. The article stated that Stout has studied school cafeterias and found that limited facilities, budgets and time have turned many school cafeterias into stressful assembly-line operations. Stout endorses using the cafeteria to teach social skills and personal interaction. In an article in the American School Board Journal, she suggested encouraging teachers to eat with the students to model appropriate behavior.
