The ALEPH collaboration has recently reported a significant excess of four-jet events at the LEP 1.5 and LEP 2 experiments. 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. The author discusses how the operators required to explain the ALEPH four jet events may arise from superstring derived models without inducing rapid proton decay
