Although Tommy Lee might get it. Hey, he was nominated for "JFK," maybe the '{Academy feels guilty. Best Supporting Actress. Holly Hunter for "The Firm," Anna Paquin for "The Piano," Rosie Perez for -"Fearless," Winona Ryder for "The .Age of Innocence" and Emma Th- _ompson for "In the Name of the Fa- ther." Oh, wouldn't it be nice if they all could win? And isn't it wonderful that the only big nomination "The Firm" got was for something it can't win? Finally, the other big one. Best Director. Jim Sheridan for "In the Name of the Father," Jane Campion for "The Piano," James Ivory for "The Remains of the Day," Steven Spielberg for "Schindler's List" and Robert Altman for "Short Cuts." Although Spielberg seems to have this one without question, this is the academy we're talking about here. As stuffy as they are, "The Remains of the Day" could actually win. Yeah, right. Biggest competition for Spielberg is Jane Campion. And as for Altman, well, better luck next year. 'So there it is in black and white. The big night is March 21. I'm sure we'll all be glued to our seats with anticipation and laughing hysterically at Whoopi Goldberg's witty mono- logue.. Clinton health plan to cost more than thought e Congressional Budget Office says plan will increase deficit by $74 million THE WASHINGTON POST WASHINGTON - President Clinton has put forward a credible plan for restructuring the nation's health system, but implementing it in the next few years will cost more than he thought and could overwhelm the frail institutions of government. That was the carefully stated but unambiguous judgment delivered yesterday by the Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan policy analysis orga- nization that enjoys unusual respect in Washing- ton. The CBO credited the administration with com- ing up with a framework that appears to reconcile what many had considered irreconcilable: extend- ing health care to all Americans while at the same time slowing the growth of medical costs, which threaten to consume 20 percent of the nation's economic output by the end of the decade. But the budget office implied what many of the country's leading business organizations said last week when, one after another, they declared that the Clinton plan was simply too much too fast. The headline-grabbing news in the CBO report was that the Clinton plan would not reduce the budget deficit by $59 billion over the next five years, as the administration had estimated, but increase it by $74 billion. That $133 billion differ- ence of opinion may have more political than economic significance: Both predict that the Clinton plan would begin saving money for the govern- ment, business and consumers by the year 2000. Still, there were nuggets of good news for the administration in the CBO analysis. The Clinton plan, it concluded, would not sig- nificantly slow the economy or result in the loss of jobs, as many critics have charged. What few minimum wage jobs would be lost at restaurants and small manufacturing firms, it con4 eluded, would likely be replaced in an expanded health care sector. It predicted that the job market would improve because some working mothers and older workers would drop out of the work force, knowing that their medical costs would be covered. The proposed National Health Board, it warned, would need "a large, skilled professional staff" to perform "many difficult tasks." REACTION Continued from page 1 didn't surprise many. "I think it was the best thing for them to do," said Brett Severance, an Art senior. While many students were happy to see the players back on the court, some wondered if the sentence would send a wrong message to the people outside the high-profile arena. "I want to see them winning games; I'm happy they're going to be play- ing" said LSA first-year student Amy Klein. "But what they did is also a crime, and I'm not sure if it's (the sentence) sending the wrong mes- sage." The fairness of the sentence was important to many students around campus. Students felt the players should be judged the same as other students would be. "I think that they should be treated like anyone else, just because they're well known, they shouldn't be treated differently," said Adam Perry, a third- year Law student.

Their skepticism toward the latest flurry of activity was underscored by the news, which shocked even State Department officials, that Secretary of State Warren Christopher had dis- patched Peter Tarnoff, the undersecretary for political affairs, to Europe to take the lead in renewed peace negotiations. Tarnoff was an architect of the policy, which he enunciated last year, TEXTBOO KS Continued from page ± bought and sold on the private market or through autonomous universities. "It comes down to public exami- nation and scrutiny," Pollack said. "From a legal point of view, there's nothing the Legislature can do." Koivisto said he thinks the state Legislature should have control over such problems at state universities. "They're tax-supported institu- tions," he said. "(Students) are told they have to purchase the books or flunk the class." Rosser defended the bookstores, saying students have other high ex- penditures to deal with at universi- ties. "I think everything's really high," he said. "I think tuition's outrageously high." University Associate Vice Presi- dent for Government Relations Keith Molin said the University has not yet issued an official position on the pro- posed hearings. "I think there is always a need to make things more efficient and eco- nomical," he said. After paying $250 for this-term's textbooks, Coletti said she sees Koivisto's plan for hearings on text- book prices as a good idea.

A White House offO cial acknowledged that the Uniter States is prepared to put added pres- sure on the Muslim-led government to accept a peace settlement. On the military front, officials said Washington is likely to propose spe- cific steps to permit NATO air strikes as a means of pressuring Serb forces to halt attacks on Sarajevo. The Western alliance was pr, voked into action by a series of arti- lery barrages that followed a mortar attack on a Sarajevo marketplace.

FAILING "I think a lot of students would have a lot to say about the textbooks because it affects so many of us," she said. Like Coletti, Koivisto said high textbook prices was also a problenl when he was in college. "Nothing has changed for many decades on this," he said. "Every busi- ness is entitled to a fair profit, but there is such thing as gouging." Since this problem has existed for so long, universities need to think of new ideas to deal with the high prices, Koivisto said. He said he sees the possibility of starting a textbook-rental program We save students money. "It's time for people to get innova- tive and creative on this," he said. Rosser criticized the University policy on textbooks. "I know of some schools that when a textbook is adopted, it is adopted for a three-year period minimum," he said, "where at U-M textbooks are adopted for five minutes." He said if the University adopte textbooks for a longer period of time, more students would receive 50 per- cent back on their used books. But Molin defended the practice of frequently changing textbooks. "Information and knowledge does not remain static for three years," he said.
