In addition to extending the app-
lication deadline, the foundation has
raised the maximum award from
$28,000 to $30,000.

University students who are fans
of the game show Jeopardy! may be
surprised to see a familiar face during
next week's "Tournament of Cham-
pions."
Graduate student Erik Larsen, a
student in the School of Information
and Library Studies, qualified to
compete in the week-long, $100,000
tournament by winning five games
earlier in the season. The tournament
begins airing Monday, Nov. 5.
The tournament was taped one
week ago, Oct. 22 and 23, but Jeop-

"It will be worse for America,
worse for our children if we do not
reduce this lingering, pervasive
deficit now," said budget panel's
ranking Republican, Sen. Pete
Domenici of New Mexico.

"You're going to see the work-

fees," said Sen. Trent Lott (R-
Miss.)

University officials said it was
too early to tell what kind of action
the University will take to cope with
delayed funding.
"I'm afraid it's too soon to an-

protestors then entered a conference
room inside CP&P, where Public
Safety officers Patrick and Pifer
guarded a back hall to the CIA repre-
sentatives' interviewing room.
Weber said the protestors entered
the hall and Patrick kicked Marcuse
in the groin.
Rinne said Marcuse kneed Pifer
between the legs from behind and
threw him on the floor, and "rushed"
Patrick. Rinne said the protest was
"peaceful," but Marcuse "was ag-
gressive."
"Patrick protected himself by
kicking Marcuse," she said.
Marcuse asked Detective Barbour
to arrest Patrick, Weber said, but

"With all the complexity of the pro-

Plunkett ultimately dropped the

"The criminal case was droppe5
