LAU Elections Update: FPM student insult's Jesus Christ
Today morning the FPM tried to make it look as if they removed themselves from the Anti-Syrian list instead of being kicked out of it yesterday for dealing with the Pro-Syrians. This ofcourse did not work since word had already gotten around about the deals the FPM had made with the Pro-Syrians.

The worst thing came this morning when Mr. Fadi Khoury who was a communist at LAU Beirut and suddenly became an FPM member at LAU Jbeil started cursing the Lebanese Forces, the Lebanese Student Front parties, the christians and even Christ himself!

More updates coming later.

LAU Elections Update: Security
Security is tighter at this years elections. There are armed soliders outside university and security seems more focused on the inside. The feeling around campus is that the Lebanese Student Front will win easily but its still early to tell.



LAU Election Update: FPM Deal with Pro-Syrians
As every year at LAU, all the anti-Syrian parties are working together with each other for the elections at the Byblos Campus. But this year things seem to be different. The LF, Al Ahrar, Amine Gemayel's Kataeb, Al Ketla, Independent Front, the Armenians and the Democrates were on agreement but the FPM seemed to be working on different levels.

The whole situation got cleared today. The FPM were on the Anti-Syrian list (Lebanese Student Front) but there was something going on under the table between them and the pro-Syrian parties. So now the Lebanese Student Front are going to elections with or without the FPM support. Moreover they are including two of the FPM on their lists, preferring them over replacing them with pro-Syrians. This will prove to the FPM that the Lebanese Student Front can let anyone they support win the list.

I would like to conclude here by telling the LF students from a certain university whom stood with the FPM recently, that the article published by Dragunov, “Resistance Priorities” about the FPM was all true and todays discovery proves that.

The FPM are working against the LF in all universities. The FPM still need to develop politically; otherwise they will be on their own. I would finally like to say that we also heard from the pro-Syrian parties that they won't let the FPM join their list because they do not trust them after what they did with the Lebanese Student Front.
