2 -- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, March 21, 1995 j "'a jFVTb-.,ftub SACUA Continued from page 1 policies as one that needs to be con- vinced. I don't approach the given as the only way to do things. I see my task as questioning," he said. In addition, McNamara wants to address the rise in student tuition. "I am very worried about the continued dependence on tuition as making up for the university deficit," he said. SACUA chair-elect George Brewer said he looks forward to work- ing with next year's SACUA mem- bers. "I think we elected an excellent slate. This election has increased the ability of SACUA to operate as a leaderof faculty governance," he said. Outgoing SACUA member Charles Smith said he also feels con- fident in the new members. "I think that with the new members, SACUA will be an even stronger advo- cate for the faculty because the people who were elected have all participated well in faculty governance," he said. SACUA chair Jean Loup said that any of the seven candidates would have comprised a good group. "It is of course nice to see a woman elected," she said. Some faculty members said that although four members will change, the composition and goals of the body will remain almost the same. "I think they will be comparable to this SACUA which is concerned with governance, grievances, and tenure," Loup said. SACUA member Mark R. DeCamp agreed that SACUA would be very similar. He currently holds a one-year term and was not re- elected. "I don't think there will be much of a change. The people who were appointed to regular terms are in a sense replacing those that are there now," he said. "Us guys from the small places like Kinesiology and Dearborn got lost in the shuffle." Loup said that to accomplish their goals, the group members must work together. "I think it is important to listen to opinions and refrain from coming too quickly about what the right thing to do is. There are a range of opinions, and it is important to not act on the first opinion." Death toll in nerve gas attack rises to 8 w K .- ."7 r V TOKYO (AP) - Police seized five packages of nerve gas that spread death yesterday through Tokyo's crowded subway system as they hunted for clues in a chilling new chapter in urban terrorism: the use of chemical weapons. By this morning, the attack had killed eight people and sickened nearly 4,700 others. There were no credible claims of responsibility, but there was growing speculation that the incident may have been politically motivated. Police have identified a possible suspect and intend to question him as soon as he recovers from the effects of the nerve gas, Japanese television and newspapers reported today. Gas spread through the subway during the morning rush hour yester- day, leaving passengers vomiting and in convulsions in stations across cen- tral Tokyo. All three of the lines hit ran under Kasumigaseki, the district at the heart of Japan's government. The authorities blamed sarin, a nerve gas developed by the Nazis during World War II. The same gas was blamed for seven unsolved deaths in the central Japanese city of Matsumoto in June. The threat of chemical or biologi- cal terrorism has worried governments increasingly in recent years, as the technology became more widespread and easy to obtain. "Terrorists have taken that step across the threshold into the use of weapons of mass destruction," said Kyle Olson of the Chemical and Bio- logical Arms Control Institute in Al- exandria, Va. Olson studied the Matsumoto poi- soning and warned in February that it could happen again. "I began to reach the conclusion that this was a dress rehearsal of some type, that someone was trying to get the hang of using a new weapon," he told Asso- ciated Press Television yesterday. Several media reports said that police had identified one man hospi- talized for nerve gas poisoning as a possible suspect. Police refused to confirm or deny the report. The reports said several people saw the man place a plastic bag wrapped in newspaper on a train. When he got off at Kodenmacho sta- tion, a passenger kicked the object onto the platform and it began to emit white fumes. Buchanan opens presidential bid MANCHESTER, N.H. -Patrick J. Buchanan yesterday joined the grow- ing list of candidates seeking the 1996 Republican presidential nomination with a pugnacious, "America first" message of economic nationalism, restored U.S.military muscle and apledge to wage and win a cultural war. Buchanan, the conservative commentator whose 1992 challenge to George Bush helped plant the seeds of the former President's defeat, claimed that, unlike his rivals for the nomination, he is not a "leap-year conservative." Buchanan said many of the issues he campaigned on, such as affirmative action and immigration, have been adopted by other presidential candidates. "We may have lost that nomination, my friends, but you and I won the battle for Buchanan the heart and soul of the Republican Party," he said. Like 1992, Buchanan said, "This campaign is about an America that once again looks out for our people and our country first." a U RECYCLE THE a ilg i Simpson gives jurors look at his finger LOS ANGELES--O.J. Simpson, surrounded by attorneys and armed guards, gave jurors a close-up look at his trembling left middle finger yes- terday in an attempt to deflect pros- ecution claims it was wounded in the knife murders of his ex-wife and her friend. Simpson glanced toward the ceil- ing, rolled his eyes, shook his head and grinned when lawyer Robert Shapiro asked permission for Simpson to approach the jury.. Shapiro, questioning Detective Philip Vannatter in his first major cross-examination of the trial, sug- gested the knuckle was always "swol- len due to a medical condition and not any laceration." The bailiffs escorted Simpson across the courtroom and along the jury box, where panelists leaned for- ward to betterexamine his hand, which trembled noticeably. They did not touch him. At the end of the box, Simpson stretched and leaned over so the alternates could get a look. great scores...

Bosnian truce near collapse after worst fighting since Jan. 1 ZAGREB, Croatia-The faltering truce in Bosnia-Herzegovina teetered near collapse yesterday when heavy fighting broke out in central and east- ern Bosnia, killing and injuring dozens and dashing hopes that spring will bring a thaw in the protracted civil war. Officials with the U.N. Protection Force said early-morning fighting in and around the towns of Travnik and Tuzla was the worst since the two sides launched a four-month cease-fire on Jan. 1, as part of a peace initiative by former U.S. President Carter. The battles came after more than a week of increasingly deadly flare-ups in the capital of Sarajevo, including sniper fire that ripped a hole in an airplane carrying the U.N. special en- voy to the former Yugoslavia. Three people were killed in sniper attacks over the weekend, and at least a dozen have been gunned down since the cease- fire began. "We are seriously concerned about the status of the cessation of hostilities agreement," said U.N. spokesman Christopher Gunnes. "We are at the point where we are asking: 'When can Earlier, jurors saw a picture of Simpson's bruised and swollen knuckle taken the day afterNicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were slain. Big Boy killed; pieces spread around town TOLEDO-Who killed Big Boy'. Someone stole the 300-pound, 6- foot Big Boy statue from a restaurant Friday, dismembered the grinning fi- berglass fellow with a hacksaw, scrawled "Big Boy is dead" on the pieces and dropped them off around town Sunday. "This is a sad, sad day for the city when somebody would desecrate a hal- lowed symbol of the 1950s and 1960s,' said Sgt. Richard Murphy said. "It's really hard to keep a straight face when you talk about it," he said. "We've been trying to put him to- gether again like Humpty Dumpty. I think he looks pretty good for a guy who's been cut up." The hamburger-toting statue has guarded the doors of Big Boy restau- rants around the world since the 1930s. you say something is really dead?"' U.N. sources said it was clear that Bosnian government forces had been the aggressors. Afghanistan militia routed from stronghold ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Re- treating as quickly as it advanced, Afghanistan's Taliban militia of Mus- lim students has been routed from its stronghold near Kabul, ensuring Presi- dent Burhanuddin Rabbani will not resign today as required by a U.N. peace plan. As a result of the most decisive4 victory by pro-Rabbani forces in Afghanistan's 3-year-old civil war, the president now controls all of Kabul and its outskirts for the first time since the Communist government was over- thrown in 1992. When Mahmoud Mestiri, the U.N. special envoy, announced the peace proposal last month, he said he had a firm pledge from Rabbani to leave of- fice by March 21. But Mestiri's po-O litical adviser said yesterday there is no chance of that happening now. "We are trying to re-engage the political process," Charles Santos said in Islamabad, capital of neighboring Pakistan. - From Daily wire sirvices teade t e a I A *Help acclimate new students *Meet exciting and diverse people *Gain practical experience for your career' +Come back to school early!!
