2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, January 12, 1996 "Anow/woklo Troops anticipate Clinton visit to Bosnia The Washington Post TUZLA, Bosnia-Herzegovina - To some, he re- mains a draft dodger who never served in uniform. To others, he's just another political candidate looking for a "photo op" with the troops. But when President Clinton arrives here tomorrow, he will find surpri singly strong support. The vast major- ity of soldiers Clinton dispatched at Christmas to this unlovely corner of the world have come to accept him first and foremost as their commander in chief. His visit is widely viewed as an act of good faith, further strengthening the bond between leader and led. His first meeting with servicemen bound for the Balkans, athree-hourvisit aboard the carrier Theodore Roosevelt in March 1993, drew jokes about draft- dodging and gays in the military. Clinton has not completely overcome his well- documented image problem with the military, but he has taken long strides toward repairing it. Conversa- tions with dozens of soldiers, from private to general, suggest they have come to view him - sometimes grudgingly - as their rightful leader, the boss. They admire the risk he's taking to fly here; a palpable charge of anticipation has been building all week. "It's hoo-aah," said Sgt. Roland Baldomero, 33, a paratroop squad leader from North Miami Beach, using the all-purpose Army expression of approval. "It definitely breaks the routine. The guys are pretty excited. As far as these soldiers are concerned, he's considered the commander in chief." Sgt. Robert Dulmage, also 33, a paratrooper from Atlanta, added: "The President, that's squared away. That's cool. He's coming to see the men, even though he doesn't have to come here. He's the one who gave the execution order to do this, so I think it's great." A colonel added, "Clinton has worked very hard to earn the respect of the military, because he knows he has to earn it and he knows he had an image prob- lem." NATIONAL REPORT Buchanan says he'll revise Challenger 2d CONCORD, N.H. - Pat Buchanan used a quick image of the exploding Challenger in a TV ad to show he helped the country heal after a national crisis. But in Concord, where the decade-old image is more than a distant news event, it has opened old wounds, and Buchanan said yesterday he would change it. "It looks like we are being used," Michael Garrett, assistant principal at Concord High School, where astronaut Christa < . McAuliffe taught, said of the ad.k : The Republican presidential candidate's ad contains a clip of the explosion, followed by a photo of Buchanan at Presi- dent Reagan's side. Buchanan Buchanan said he will delete images of the explosion "out of sensitivity" for the family of McAuliffe. She and six other space shuttle cr N members were killed in the disaster 10 years ago this month. "We'll change that particular little slide or picture as soon as we can, out f sensitivity, out of concern forthe family," Buchanan said during a campaign swi g through Iowa. "We'll have that changed by Tuesday or Wednesday." Dignitaes bid final farewell to iterrad PARIS (AP) - Francois Mitterrand was laid to rest yesterday with his own thoughts on death ringing in the ears of the kings, princes and presidents who came to Notre Dame cathedral to bid him farewell. "Why do we live in such times of spiritual drought, when men, too busy living, seem to miss the essential mys- tery?" Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger said' in a eulogy, quoting Mitterrand's recently published writings. Mitterrand, the Socialist who led France longer than anyone else this century, died Monday of prostate cancer at 79. In accordance with his wishes, a si- multaneous ceremony for relatives and friends was held in his hometown of Jarnac, in southwest France. Mitterrand's body, flown from Paris at dawn, was placed in his family's tomb there. In Paris, some 250 world leaders and dignitaries slowly filed into the packed cathedral, taking their places in small wooden and wicker chairs facing Lustiger's pulpit. African presidents and Saudi princes arrived in bright, flowing robes, accompanied by wives and uni- formed generals. Mitterrand's longtime friend and political ally, Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany, shed ters as a choir sang. The two leaders, who had held hands during a recent World War commemo- ration, were together the strongest pro- moters of the European Union. Vice President Al Gore sat in the second row behind the president of Togo. Russia's Boris Yeltsin, Britain's Prince Charles, Cuba's Fidel Castro, Spain's King Juan Carlos, Sweden's King Carl XVI and Egyptian President Chechens hold hostages for third day in standoff Kings, princes and presidents went to Notre Dame cathedral yesterday to witness Francois Mitterrand's funeral. Hosni Mubarak were among those seated in the front row reserved for heads of state. Barbara Hendricks, the American opera singer, sang a requiem, Gabriel Faure's "Pious Jesus." On the plazaoutside, hundreds watched a large screen broadcasting the Mass. "The whole world sent its leaders to salute Francois Mitterrand," Loic Ducos, a 19-year-old philosophy stu- dent, said as he watched the screen before Mass began. "I'm really very happy and honored to be here. I'll re- member this for the rest of my life." At Mitterrand's birthplace, Jamac, the service was off-limits to all but about 200 relatives and close friends, but loudspeak- ers carried the funeral Mass to the crowds that gathered outside St. Pierre Church. Mitterrand's parents were married in the austere 12th-century stone chapel. PERVOMAYSKAYA, Russia (AP) - Chechen rebels holding more than 100 exhausted hostages in this bleak village demanded safe passage home, a Russian commander called for the rebels to be annihilated--and what they all got yesterday was a grueling day of waiting. The third day of the hostage drama was a tense standoff on the steppes near the Chechen border. The fields around Pervomayskaya were streaked with gray lines of Russian armor, poised to storm the town. Military helicopters bristling with rockets circled low. Rebels were holding their hostages -mostly women and children-in the few dozen houses that make up the village. The ordeal in the Dagestan republic in Russia's far south has reminded the country of how vulnerable it is to the separatist rebels the Russian army has been fighting since December 1994. At least 40 people have died since Tuesday, when rebels stormed the city ofKizlyar, seizing a hospital and taking as many as 3,000 people hostage. They demanded that Russian troops pull out of Chechnya. After negotiations with officials, the rebels freed most of their hostages and were allowed to leave the city; they took about 160 hostages with them to guarantee their safe passage back to Chechnya. But Russian troops drew increasingly close to them near the border, the rebels halted their buses and the stalemate began. "Our orders are to stand and wait," said a young Russian lieutenant wear- ing white camouflage. He pulled on a cigarette beside the light tank he com- "Thoe bandits must be annihilated" - Maj. Gen. Alexander M1k all ov Federal Security Service manded about a half-mile east of the village. Maj. Gen. Alexander Mikhailov of the Federal Security Service said there were 103 hostages, including 37 Dagestani policemen. The Chechens had released some others. Mikhailov said there were 150 gun- men; earlier reports said 250. "These bandits must be annihilated," Mikhailov said. The rebels fanned out across the town in twos and threes on yesterday. Many villagers have fled. "We promise you liberation (for the hostages) and you must provide us safe passage to Chechnya," a rebel identi- fied as Hassan, wearing a woolen ski mask, told Dagestani officials in talks on an open road in Pervomayskaya. "Otherwise we will not come to an agreement." Local officials said the dead in Kizlyar included some 17 rebels, 14 civilians, and nine police officers and soldiers. Dozens of people were wounded. President Boris Yeltsin, in Paris at- tending the funeral of Francois Mitterrand, repeated the Kremlin's longstanding position that Russia will remove troops from Chechnya only when the rebels agree to disarm. Space shuttle leaves to retrieve satellite CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.-Space shuttle Endeavour and six astronauts blasted off in the early morning cold yesterday on a mission to retrieve a Japanese science satellite, Endeavour rose from its seaside pad at 4:41 a.m., 23 minutes late because of an assortment of communication-sys- tem problems. It was 44 degrees at launch time, warm enough under the rules estab- lished after the 1986 Challenger disas- ter. NASA used heaters to protect cru- cial shuttle parts. "Have a smooth ride and a safe land- ing," a launch controller told Endeavour's U.S.-Japanese crew. "Let's get '96 off to a great start," said shuttle commander Brian Duffy. The temperature was 36 degrees, the coldest ever for a shuttle launch, when Challenger exploded 10 years ago this month, killing all seven crew members. Investigators found that the cold had stiffened the 0-rings in the shuttle's booster rockets, allowing hot gas to seep out. After the accident, NASA adopt I an elaborate formula involving toi temperature, wind and humidity i1 determining whether it is safe t launch. Heaters also, were added to prote( the joints and O-ring seals in the boost ers and other components. Arkansas lawyer testifies on S&L WASHINGTON - A Rose Lay Firm lawyer who worked with Hillar) Rodham Clinton representing a sav- ings and loan during the mid-198C yesterday disputed her account of how the firm came to represent the troutbled S&L. H e also said he did not know then that she was involved in tl Whitewater land venture with ithe S&L's owner. Rose lawyer Richard Massey, testi- fying before the Senate Whitewaier committee, generally supported Hillary Clinton's contention that it was he who did the substantive legal work on al905 stock plan for Arkansas' MadisonGuar- anty Savings & Loan.

"If you want to be journalist, you would definitely not come to Michi- gan," said Kubit, who has both under- graduate and graduate degrees from the University. "To me, communication is the ability to tell a story," he said. "Communica- tion studies is the ability to accumulate numbers." Price said students can still receive writing experience through internships, the sole pre-professional course offered in the new department. Helen Pasakarnis, news director of WKBD-TV (Channel 50 in Detroit), said she places the most emphasis on internship experience. "When I am look- ing at hiring someone, I am looking at their experience,- if that person had some practical experience with intern- ships." Pasakarnis said internships are what sets apart candidates. "We will look at those people before others," she said, WI you want to be a journalist, you would definitely not come to Michigan" - Don Kubit Communication lecturer adding that in the competitive broad- cast journalism career, one of every 10- 15 applicants is hired. In the absence of writing classes, some faculty, including Kubit, will not teach classes after this semester. "A lot of faculty will not return after this academic year," said Price, who would not elaborate. The new curriculum requires stu- dents to take two introductory courses: Communication Studies 101 and 102. The former curriculum only had one introductory class, Communication 103. Another prerequisite, a one-credit workshop course, trains students to use the Internet and other new me- dia. The concentration also requires that a student take 24 credits within the department and six credits in a cog- nate. Some of the 24 credits must be ful- filled in specific ways, including two 300-level courses. The department will not include classes in film and video studies, which now have their own department. Price said the changes in require- ments should not delay any student's graduation. "We're taking great care that all students can finish degrees on time," he said. "We're trying to mini- mize the number of complications stu- dents we'll have." He said decisions on the curriculum a student follows will be made depend- ing on an individual's situation, within some general guidelines based on their year in school. Price said he did not know which classes would be offered next fall. TOKYO - Almost as soon as law- makers voted him prime minister yes- terday, Ryutaro Hashimoto faced achal- lenge from a fellow conservative, who wasted no time in attacking the former trade minister. Calling Hashimoto's coalition an "illicit cohabitation," New Frontier Party leader Ichiro Ozawa said the new government should immediately call elections to put itself to a popular vote. Hashimoto, 58, who took a hard-line stand at auto trade talks last year with the United States, defeated Ozawa 287 to 166 in the parliamentary vote for prime minister. The two men's clashes are expected to dominate Japanese politics, at least for the next half-year, beginning with the dispute over the government's plan to use $6.5 billion in taxpayer money to rescue failed housing lenders. Ozawa has blasted the unpopular plan. Hashimoto has sought to deflect criti- cism of the scandal-plagued Finance The challenge from blunt-spoken Ozawa reflects a gradual shuffling-of Israeli court allows force in interrogation JERUSALEM - Israel's supreme court ruled Thursday to allow physical force in the interrogation of a suspected terrorist. The High Court of Justice said Israel's security service, Shin Bet, can use vio- lent shaking in the questioning of Abed Belbaysi, a Palestinian from the Jabaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, cause it is convinced he has info tion about future terrorist attacks. Human rights groups consider vio- lent shaking a life-threatening form of torture. In a six-page ruling, the court said it does not intend Thursday's decision as a precedent. But Belbaysi's attorney, Andre Rosenthal, said he fears the rul- ing will encourage interrogators to shake suspects. - From Daily wire servi students at the University of Michigan.
