TOKYO (AP)-Russia's foreign
minister yesterday praised a $28.4
billion aidpackage that the seven rich-
est democracies hope willboostPresi-
dent Boris Yeltsin's chances in a lead-
ership referendum in nine days.
Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev
said the Group of Seven plan showed
Moscow and its former enemies are
meeting "each other midway in an
effort to win a democratic peace, as
democrats on both sides won the Cold
War."
The aid will come from devel-
opment agencies such as the World
Bank and International Monetary
Fund, which are financed mainly by
the industrial powers. It is in addition
to individual aid packages announced
by several nations during the two days
of talks on emergency aid for Mos-
cow.

nations also agreed to make it easier

bor) agreed. "I realized it was a prob-
lem in the abstract but (today's meet-
ing) gave me a better understanding of
how pervasive the problem is."
A student acting troupe, Talk to Us,
presented two skits to the board about
University students and substance
abuse.
Following the skits, the board
moved to MoJo's computing center to
test a computer program that allows
students to assess whether or not they
have a substance abuse problem.
After some confusion and many
questions about how to work the com-
puters, the regents successfully com-
pleted the program to determine if they
had substance abuse problems.
'The idea is not to
identify an alcoholic
but maybe make a
lightbulb go off in their
head that they might
have a problem.'
-Maureen Hartford
vice president for stu:'-it
affairs
"It says I'm square," said University
President James Duderstadt. "It's an
interesting instrument."
Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle
Creek) said she thought the program
had a few flaws.
"I think your answers don't really
give much opportunity to adapt them-
selves to degrees and levels," McFee
said. "I think it jumps to extremes."
But Hartford said the program was
not meant to definitively decide if a
person has a substance abuse prob-
lem.
'The idea is not to identify an
alcoholic but maybe make a lightbulb
go off in their head that they might
have a problem," Hartford said.
At the end of the day, members of
the board said they enjoyed the uncon-
ventional meeting, one of several this
term that focused on aspects of the
undergraduate experience.
"The whole purpose of this set of
meetings is to give us concrete, dirt-
under-the-fingernail knowledge of
what's happening at the University,"
Power said. "You don't get that at
ordinary regents' meetings."

CLINTON
Continued from page 1
Clinton's "acceptance" and had begun
to make preparations.
The regents will vote on honorary
degrees this morning in aclosed session
and are expected to unanimously en-
dorse Clinton.
Despite the fact that Power is an
"FOH"(Friendof Hillary),asherfriends
areknown both in WashingtonandLittle
Rock, McGowan was the one who was
responsible for getting Clinton to ac-
cept the invitation, Power said.
But Power added that the University
was ready with a replacement if sched-
uling problems arose.
"Itisavery difficult process," Power
said. "You have to be ready to have
someone else in place if the scheduling
falls through. You can't be hanging by
your fingernails."
McGowan worked with Clinton in a
kitchen at Glacier National Park in Mt.
McKinley, Alaska, during the summer
of 1969. Since then, McGowan and
Clinton have remained friends.
During the Clintons' campaign stop
in Ann Arbor last October, McGowan
gave Chelsea and Hillary a tour of Ann
Arbor before the campaign speech. The
tour included stops at the Power Center
forthePerforming Arts, BriarwoodMall,
and an ice cream parlor.
John Petz, College Republicanpresi-
dent until May 1, said he felt choosing
Clinton was "absolutely repulsive,"and
said he does not plan on attending his 0
graduation.
"That the University would choose
someone of her utter controversy is a
real problem," he said. "All that is bad
that is going on in America - PC
(political correctness), feminism-the
things that are destroying the moral and
cultural fabric of our society, she repre-
sents."
Petz said he thought the University
should avoid picking controversial fig-
ures, such as President George Bush
who spoke at the 1991 ceremony, and
select a non-partisan commencement
speaker.
Michelle Humphries, anLSA gradu-
ating senior who campaigned for Presi-
dent Clinton and stood in the cold three
hours to shake his hand, said she thought
it was greatthat the University chose the
first lady.
"She is a role model for all women,"
she said.
Humphries added that she thought
Bush's speech was more politically
motivated and that Clinton was con-
cerned with student issues.
"She will address the valid concerns
of students," Humphries said.
