  The ALEPH collaboration has recently reported a significant excess of
four-jet events at the LEP 1.5 and LEP 2. While not yet confirmed by the other
collaborations, it was recently proposed that this excess may be explained by
certain R-parity violating operators in supersymmetric models. R-parity
violating operators introduce the danger of inducing rapid proton decay. I
discuss how the operators required to explain the ALEPH four jet events may
arise from superstring derived models without inducing rapid proton decay.
