"Personally, I'm not thrilled by Hash Bash, but I support free speech on the Diag," Kight added. "This is a groundless attempt to suppress free speech," Hill said. E ,, 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." -- Daily News Editor David Shepardson contributed to this report. 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. 94fAEANICoE S PRJ9QCBRXEAKI( CUT YOURSELF A DEAL ON A HAIRCUT SAVE $1 ON YOUR NEXT HAIRCUT Simply bring this coupon to Supercuts.

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."

MARY'S STUDENT PARISH (ARoman Catholic Parish at U-M) PURIM Continued from page 1 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. -Daily Staff Reporter James R. C4 contributed to this report 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.
