"Personally, I'm not thrilled by
Hash Bash, but I support free speech

"This is a groundless attempt to

At the public comments session of
the regent's meeting yesterday, mem-
bers of the men's gymnastics team
again urged the regents to reconsider
the decision by the Athletic Depart-
ment to drop the team's varsity status.
The move was made as a result of the
University's attempt to comply with
the 60-40 percent gender equity rule
mandated by the Big Ten last year.
Incoming Athletic Director Joe
Roberson has said that no reexamina-
tion of the decision will take place
unless the regents request it.
Following several emotional pleas
by parents and student members of
the team, Bob Darden, coach of the
gymnastics team, asked the regents to
reconsider the decision.
"This is notgenderequity," Darden
said. "The ball is in your court. You
have to act."
Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Ar-
bor) said, "I'm sure this subject will
come up again."

Two parties to boycott S. African elections .
THE WASHINGTON POST
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
- Inkatha Freedom Party Leader
Mangosuthu Buthelezi said yester-
day that his party will stick to its
boycott of South Africa's April elec-
tion despite a package of constitu-
tional concessions offered Wednes-
day to induce his participation.
The rejections of the concessions
mean that South Africa's first all-
races election set for April 26-28 will
be waged without the participation of
the two parties that most militantly
oppose an African National Congress
government - the likely result of the
vote.
More importantly, it raises the risk
of a strife-filled campaign, challenges
to the legitimacy of the ballot and
secessionist agitation.
Buthelezi, in a harshly worded
statement, derided the constitutional
compromise put forth by the ANC
and the white-minority government
as a public-relations gimmick.
"What utter hypocrisy," declared
Buthelezi, who is also chief minister
of the Zulu tribal homeland.
"Mr. Mandela's statement
amounts to no more than cheap poli-
ticking on life and death issues."
The package unveiled by ANC
President Nelson Mandela includes
amendments to a new interim consti-
tution that would strengthen regional
powers, provide for a separate ballot
for national and regional parliaments,
ensure symbolic status fbr the Zulu
monarchy, change the name of the
province of Natal to KwaZulu-Natal
and adopt a constitutional principle
that would force the next government
to explore ways to accommodate the
desire for self-determination of any
ethnic group in the country.
The ANC and the governmenthave
said that all these proposals would be
adopted by a special Parliament ses-
sion to be convened early next month,
even if the recalcitrant parties do not
chose to take part in the election.
A third boycotting group, the
homeland government of
Bophuthatswana, made no official
response to the compromise package
but offered some encouraging sig-
nals. It is scheduled to meet with the
ANC later in the week to discuss
possible participation in the election.
Afrikaner Volksfront co-leader
Constand Viljoen-who is considered
most the figure most amenable to the
election within his organization-ex-
pressed doubt yesterday that the new
proposal really guaranteed a separate
state for Afrikaners-the country's 6
million descendants of 17th-century
Dutch and French settlers-and said
"we will not be appeased by anything
less."
Buthelezi's position is the most
difficult to fathom because, as one
participant in the country's multi-
party constitutional negotiations
pointed out tonight, the government-
ANC compromise proposals are "ve
close indeed" to apackage that InkatW
itself put on the table last December.

Clinton explains 'Astro-gate' to DJ
LOS ANGELES TIMES
WASHINGTON -President
Clinton tried yesterday to clear up a
widespread misconception about why
he carpeted the bed of his old El
Camino pickup truck with AstroTurf:
It was just to protect his suitcase from
scratches.
In an interview with New York
disc jockey Don Imus, a regular
Clinton banter buddy, the president
explained that the truckbed was metal,
and "I carried my luggage back there
- it wasn't for what everybody
thought it was for when I made the
comment, I'll tell you that.
"I'm guilty of a lot of things," he
joked to the raucous deejay, "but I
didn't do that."
Inus, referring to Clinton's cam-
paign-year claim that he once tried
marijuana but did not breathe it in,
suggested the president's explanation
was a bit like "saying you didn't in-
hale." Countered Clinton: "It's just that
Ididn'tinhalein thebackofthepickup."
Clinton's memories of his El
Camino got worldwide publicity after
he told an audience of General Motors
autoworkers Feb. 7 about the "real
Southern deal" he drove in the 1970s.
"I had AstroTurf in the back -
you don't want to know why," he told
them. Few of his listeners, who roared
their approval at his story, seemed to
need elaboration. Clinton seemed to
wonder yesterday whether he should
offer any explanation at all. "I don't
think I should =disclaim it, really -
just leave it out there," he said.
Saying he did not want to be disre-
spectful, Imus wondered aloud why
Clinton became interested in the no-
frills Whitewater project. "That model
home looked like some place that
Tonya Harding's bodyguard holed
in," Imus said.
But Clinton defended the develop-
ment. "It was a little place where a lot
of working people without much
money were looking for a place to
retire and own some property in a
beautiful place," Clinton replied.
Imus wanted to know how Clinton,
who says he has lost 15 pounds, could
have eaten a "Clinton burger, a pas-
trami sandwich and an apple fritter t
size of a baby's head" on a trip to Ohio.
Clinton confessed to eating the Clinton
burger. He said the pastrami was in fact
corned beef on pumpernickel, and in-
sisted, "Hey, hey, the fritter-I had one
bite of the apple fritter."

PURIM

ing carnivals and masquerade parties.
First-year LSA students Debra
Chopp and Danny Schwartz said they
will be spending Purim with friends
at Columbia University. "We'll go to
a costume party and probably drink a
lot," Schwartz said. The Purim cus-
tom Schwartz referred to calls for
drinking until one is unable to tell the
difference between Haman and
Mordechai.
Because Purim occurs this year
during Spring Break, the Hillel Foun-
student hearing panel.
Kight criticized this part of the
process.
"With so few cases going to the
student hearing panels and so little
information about the process, the
code is simply not working," Kight
said.
This compares with 43 cases that
went to mediation or an administra-
tive hearing.
The regents will not formally hear
any amendments to the statement.
That's because two attempts to con-
vene the student hearing panel failed,
when a quorum could not be reached.
But the regents are still free to
amend the policy in any way befo*
approving the policy.
Power said the regents will at the
least consider the wording of the pro-
cess.
"If you can't get any amendments
through because it isn't working and
there is no way for students to amend
the amending procedure, the regents
will definitely need to consider that,"
Power said.

Correction
A story in the Feb. 8, 1994 Daily quoted Sojourner Truth Co-op resident
Bill Woelkers as stating that University alum Phil Pavlik sold the drug CAT
from an attic in that co-op. The Daily has determined that Woelkers and other
residents contacted by the Daily in fact had no knowledge that Pavlik, now
serving an eight-year sentence on federal drug charges, was selling or using
drugs at the co-op. Woelkers and co-op member Avneesh Gupta, also quoted
in the Daily story, believed that all Pavlik's drug-related activity occurred
prior to his residency at Sojourner Truth Co-op.
dation will not be sponsoring any
festivities. In past years, there have
been a variety of activities surround-
ing -the holiday, and many students
said they would miss Hillel's annual
Purim party.
RC sophomore Brian Stein at-
tended the party last year and said V
had a fabulous time. "We dressed up
and partied with a few bottles of
Manishewitz," he said.
Stein said Thursday he will be
celebrating Purim with his grand-
mother in Florida but he and some
friends are planning a Purim party
after Spring Break.
