i&,WP) - Working among sharks and

puled more than 100 bodies from the
deep blue waters ofthe Atlantic yesterday
after a chartered jet loaded with German
tourists crashed with 189 people aboard.
There were no signs of survivors and
the cause of the crash was unknown.
The Boeing 757 was carrying the
tourists home from the Caribbean on
Tuesday night when it crashed about 12
miles northeast ofthis oceanside resort.

yesterday turned up only empty life
rafts and debris from the aircraft.
"There's a lot of debris.... You can

"Technology can (quickly) go from
glamorous to (the object of) everyone's
fears."
A 1993 graduate of the University,
Seiger said the University's techno-
logical advances made the issue espe-
cially relevant to the students.
Virginia Rezmierski, assistant to the
vice provost for information Technol-
ogy, said the University is taking care-
ful notice of the legislation.
Rezmierski said the bill challenges
and threatens the First Amendment pro-
tections afforded to all citizens.
The University, she said, "will ag-
gressively (fight against) censorship as
an institution of higher education (and)
will protect people's right to choose the
material they want to view.''
"Any individual who's a member of
this community is an adult," Rezmierski
said.
She mentioned the question ofwhether
a university community with some indi-
viduals under 18 has the obligation to
protect its members beyond the rights of
the oldest. Carnegie Mellon University
tried and failed to restrict Internet access
to what was appropriate for their young-
est students last year, she added.
"This (legislation) is very new and
(the University) needs to study the lan-
guage and try to understand the impli-
cations," Rezmierski added.
An official from U.S. Rep. Chris
Cox's office said the issue is a political
one for many and that some congres-
sional leaders supported the bill so they
would not appear soft on pornography.
Cox (R-Calif.) had proposed an alter-
native measure to government regula-
tions, which was removed from the new
telecommunications bill after compro-
mise between both houses of Congress.
"I'm very pleased to see the develop-
ment of the Internet community as a
political force," Seiger said.

NATIONAL REPORT
Spacecraft set to orbit an asteroid
The first spacecraft ever sent to orbit an asteroid is set for launch Feb. 16 from.,,
the Kennedy Space Center. And scientists and managers at the Johns Hopkins
University's Applied Physics Laboratory are already claiming it as a triumph.
APL experts not only designed and built the 1,800-pound vehicle - they also
will control the entire flight from a new command center in Laurel, Md.,a
Washington suburb. It is the first time a National Aeronautics and Space Adin
istration planetary mission has been run from a non-NASA facility.
If it succeeds, the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous, or NEAR, craft will arrive
at an asteroid called Eros -'120 million miles from Earth - in January 1999
From an orbit as close as 15 miles to Eros, NEAR will spend nearly a year sending
back pictures and other data that could shed light on the origins of the solar system.
But that's not APL's only boast. The laboratory put NEAR on the launch pad
in less time, and at a cost more than a million dollars less than they promised NASA
when they took the job in 1993. Officials at APL think that may be another first
for a NASA space science mission.
NEAR is the first of NASA's new Discovery series of spacecraft, meant to,
provide scientists with "faster, better, cheaper" access to space. Each must be...
developed in less than three years and for less than $150 million.

Rosamarie Meichsner, a spokesper-
son for Schoenefeld airport in Berlin,
gave a conflicting account. She said the
planes had been switched because the
flight was underbooked fora 767, which
holds about 300 people. The 757 holds
224 passengers.

to Bosnian Serb army commander Gen.
Ratko Mladic.
Mladic - himself an indicted war
criminal - issued a rare public state-
ment after nearly two months of si-
lence, warning that the "kidnapping"
of the officers calls into question the
impartiality ofthe N ATO peace-keep-
ing mission. Some of the Serbs were
reportedly detained as they crossed
NATO-supervised areas.
"The kidnapping presents a big test for
the peace forces," Mladic said, according
to Bosnian Serb television. "Either the
Muslims willbe shown that all nations get
the same treatment or the members of
(NATO) are going to turn into a military
force against the Serbs."
Protesting the arrests, the Serb lead-
ership Tuesday suspended contact
with government officials and banned
its members from traveling to gov-
ernment-held areas - meaning they

would skip a meeting later this week
with Prince Charles, among other
people.
The Serbs contend that the Bosnian
police violated the peace accord's
free-movement provisions by arrest-
ing Gen. Djordje Djukic and Col.
Aleksa Krsmanovic. The government
is accusing Djukic and Krsmanovic
of involvement in the massacres of
civilians.
U.S. Navy Admiral Leighton Smith,
commander of all NATO forces in
Bosnia and suddenly a man trying to
put out multiple fires, traveled to
Bosnian Serb military headquarters
to appeal for calm and restraint. He
told reporters he was working on "how
to get through this problem" and re-
turn "towards the cooperation we saw
in the past."
"The international tribunal is doing
its work. Ithink we have to allow that to
proceed and hopefully it will be re-
solved to the satisfaction of everyone,"
Smith told reporters.

Abuse victims say
they 'made up' stories
CHICAGO - Three of the four chil-
dren who are alleged victims in a 1,200-
count abuse indictment told the Chicago
Tribune that they made up the horrific
stories that have shocked this city.
Conflicts are emerging in accounts
of what authorities described as four
years of sexual assault, beatings, drug
injections and meals of fried rats and
boiled roaches. The litany of allega-
tions has landedGerald Hill -fatherof
two of the children and stepfather to the
others - in the Cook County Jail fac-
ing 1,200 charges. Their mother, Bar-
bara Hill, is jailed as well, facing four
charges.
But the Cook County public guard-
ian, Patrick Murphy, said he believes
the findings of Mount Sinai Hospital
therapists who interviewed the children
-a 5-year-old boy and his sisters, ages
10, 11 and 12 - over the summer and
decided to call in the police.
Recanting accusations of abuse is
common, he said.
The Cook County state attorney's
office issued a statement late yesterday
Black South Africans
march for entry into
white school
POTGIETERSRUS, South Africa -
Separate but equal isn't good enough
for the blacks of Potgietersrus.
In a scene evoking the American civil
rights struggle of the early 1960s, about
6,000 black parents and children
marched through this farming town
yesterday to demand that an all-white
primary school admit black pupils.
"I want to see the racism in schools
stopped," said T.J. Ledwaba, whose 8-
year-old daughter has twice been re-
fused a place at the school. "We are all
Africans. There must be room for ev-
erybody."
The white farmers who fetch their
khaki-uniformed children in pickup
trucks after school don't understand
what the protest is all about.
"It just makes me so mad," said Elsie
Bouma. "There are five black schools
in this town, and just one for us. If they
want swimming pools, why don't they
make their own?"

saying the children are "in the hands of
child care specialists" and that "law--
enforcement personnel have not at-
tempted to discuss" the story with theme,
"In due course," the statement con-
cluded, "a decision will be made based.,
on the evidence and welfare of the chil-
dren."
Fat intake not relate:
to breast cancer
An analysis of several studies found
no convincing evidence that women,
who eat large amounts of fat are more
likely to develop breast cancer.
This conclusion was reached even-
when women with the highest and low...
est fat diets were compared. It also held
for women who have gone through
menopause, women who haven't, ove
weight women and thin women.

The protesters are getting support
from the new black-led provincial gov-
ernment, which is suing the school board
in a closely followed case that attempts
to break down the legacy of segrega-
tion.
