Yeltsin's announcement came after ameeting at the Kremlin with Patriarch Alexy H, head of the Russian Orthodox Church. The patriarch's offer to medi- ate the power struggle underscored the church's growing influence since the decline of Communism. Yeltsin's rebellious vice president, Alexander Rutskoi, leader of 100 law- makers holded up in parliament, sent the patriarch a message saying he was "ready to meet Alexy HI and any other representative of authorities," accord- ing to the iTAR-Tass news agency. Other hard-line lawmakers have said they were willing to negotiate if the church acted as mediator. Thousands of riot troops continued to ring the builing, known as the White House. Power, water and phones have been cut off to the building, and food supplies were running low. Yeltsin said he disbanded the So- viet-era parliament to break 18 months of political deadlock in which the law- makers slowed the president's free-mar- ket reforms and rolled back his powers. Wednesday, Yeltsin gave lawmak- ers untilnext Monday to surrender their weapons and leave the White House or face "serious consequences." Deputy Security Minister Sergei Stepashin told the Trud newspaper that militants in parliament had up to 800 firearms. Astatement by Yeltsin and the patri- arch said Alexy said, "The need was stressed to take measures making it possible to alleviate the situation with- out allowing violence." 9 Hard-liners with a Soviet flag look up to aI an end to the siege of parliament.

He added that CSST plans on addressing the controversy during the conference, both in his opening re- marks and during its discussions. Some speakers scheduled to appear at the conference said they were not sure how the picture related to the conference's theme or intent. "It kind of surprised me," said Robin Kelley, associate professor of history and Afro-American studies.

Executive Vice President for Uni- versity Relations Walter Harrison said the poster's designers are protected by the freedom of expression, but said he finds the image personally offensive. "I can't see what the picture has to - do with the conference they're promot- ing," Harrison said. "I commend the Women of Color Task Force for the approach they're taking." Estes-James said she hopes the con- troversy makes other groups think twice before using these types of images. "It seems it pushed us 10 steps backwards," she said. "(Yet) so many people just sit back when something offends them and never do anything about it."
