2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 12, 1996 Rivers recede but damage remains , T ..t L REPORT ,s .5 5-:d 5- * BIRKENFELD, Ore. (AP) - Stranded for days by bloated rivers and washed-outr oads,rural Northwestern- ersare finding their self-reliance tested by the region's worst flooding in de- vades. As rivers receded ever so slowly yesterday, brigades of emergency workers fanned out to assist flood vic- 'tipns in cities and suburbs. But in the Northwest's backwoods corners, neighbor had to rely on neighbor. The same raging waters that poured through thousands of homes last week also chewed up roads and pulled down utility lines, isolating some of the hard- est-hit areas of Oregon, Washington, ,daho and Montana. The floods took seven lives - four in Oregon, two in Montana, one in Washington. In the evergreen thumb of the Cas- cade Range that pokes into Oregon's northwestern corner, winding two-lane roads often hug the banks of mountain creeks and rivers. Highway 202, for example, crosses and recrosses the Nehalem River, usually a sparkling, boulder-dotted stream, now an ugly brown band ripping through canyons. Throughout Clatsop and Columbia counties, churning streams leapt their channels, taking out roads and catch- ing residents by surprise. "It's a lot worse than we ever imag- ined," said Ron Youngberg of the St. Helens Rural Fire Department. "The Nehalem kicked their butts." Now, for some returning evacuees, "there's nothing left to go back to,"' Youngberg said. "They're having a hard time coming back to reality." On the Oregon coast, Tillamook County dairy farmer Steve Neahring lost at least 100 of his 175 Holstein and Jersey milkers. Some drowned; some had to be shot after getting chilled to the bone or breaking their legs in pan- icky struggles in flooded barns. As Neahring maneuvered a front- end loader to stack muddy carcasses through the weekend, more than 20 friends and neighbors pitched in. A deli near the beach in Manzanita do- nated lunches; farm wives supplied food and thermoses of coffee. "It's everybody helping everybody," said LaRayne Woodward, who lives on the dairy farm across the river from Neahring's spread. "This is when you find out what good neighbors you have." Throughout the region, hundreds of roads remained closed, including two main highways out of Portland. Crews said a mudslide along Interstate 84 in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge may Resnick accuses Simpson of drug use NEW YORK-Faye Resnick accused O.J. Simpson at herdeposition yesterday of using drugs during his football career and threatening to kill Nicole Brown Simpson, her lawyer said. "O.J. Simpson told Faye Resnick that because Nicole had rejected him, shamed and humiliated him, that he was going to kill Nicole," lawyer Leonard Marks said after Resnick finished her second day of questioning. Resnick, a friend of Ms. Simpson's , appeared haggard but smiled weakly as she arrived at a Manhattan law firm, and did not answer questions from reporters outsi* The deposition was taken for a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Simpson by the families of his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman. Simpson, who was acquitted of their murders in October, has said he believes Resnick's drug use led somehow to the slayings. Resnick said in her deposition that Simpson had used cocaine and offered her some in the past, Marks said. Ms. Simpson also told her that Simpson used drugs during his football career, Marks said. "Nicole told her that O.J. had pills in every color in ajar that he called his Christmas tree," Marks said. Resnick, 37, will return today for further cross-examination. Lawyers for Simpson did not comment. They were expected to focus on Resnick's history of cocaine use during their questioning.

Inter- state 5 in southern Washington, closed since Thursday by a mudslide and high water, was reopened yesterday afternoon. In Washington, preliminary surveys the Red Cross compiled Saturday indi- cated 56 houses and mobile homes de- stroyed, 750 with major damage and 1,700 with slight damage in 22 counties. In southeastern Washington's Co- lumbia County, two National Guard helicopters were dispatched yesterday to haul food and medicine to about 60 stranded families. One diabetic man, age 19, couldn't wait and hiked out 5 miles with his parents to get insulin, said Roger Trump, county emergency management director. "~ A4 BUDGET Continued from Page IA "The more money that comes from the state, the less will have to come from other sources," he said. "All rev- enues do make a big difference." Machen said the school may get an additional $63-million bond from the state that would allow the University to finish Central Campus renovations and construction on the Frieze and LSA buildings. "The University would not have to pay it off," Machen said. "The state would pay back the bonds over 10 or 20 years." Machen said he could not accurately detail every aspect of how the addi- tional money in the general fund would be spent. Until Washington legislators seal the federal budget and Michigan legisla- tors come closer to an agreement on funding, Machen said the University's budget will remain changeable. "We're watching what happens in Washington," he said. "You've got to have faith." Vice President for University Rela- tions Walter Harrison said the budget ,qii OPV I FE yc CALL DOMII 761-1111 1031 E. Ann St. III_ _ __AA 1: . R process would be long and frustrating. However, Harrison said, "Ifeverything goes right, we should have a nice year." The increase may keep the majority of students from paying a dramatic tu- ition increase,but Native American stu- dents may face drastic changes. Engler's proposal would require the repeal of the Indian Tuition Waiver, which guarantees full tuition for in- state Native American students. The state has not granted funding for the program during the pasttwo fiscal years, but the program still operates with sup- port from state universities. Andrew Adams III, president of the Native American Students Association, said cutting the program to ensure a bigger increase for all schools is "a sorry excuse." "It's stealing from Peterto pay Paul," said Adams, an LSA junior. "There is always a symbolic winner and loser. It's the Native American students across Michigan who will lose out." If the program is repealed, Machen said the University would have a hard time continuing its tuition-waiver pro- gram. "Native Americans are entitled to the same financial aid as any students from in-state," Machen said. Harrison added that "a significant number" of Native American students would get need-based aid. The finan- cial needs, Harrison said, would be ex- amined on a case-by-case basis. LSA senior Laura Kota said her ability to attend medical school could be dam- aged by the program's repeal. "It puts a big burden on Native students who are trying to further their education," she said. State Rep. Liz Brater (D-Ann Arbor) said she was concerned about the pos- sible repeal of the waiver program and the College Tuition and Fees Credit Act. The act gives tax credits to fami- lies of students at universities that keep their tuition rates below inflation. "Hopefully, this budgetary delibera- tion will proceed according to what's best public policy for the citizens of Michigan," Brater said. Kota said she hoped the administra- tion would consider using funds from the increased allocation to meet some of the demands of the University student group Alliance Four Justice - such as building cultural houses and increasing programming for minority students. Harrison said it was too soon to tell how the money would be spent. "It's the definition of a great univer- sity that there are always more needs than there are resources," he said. HERO Continued from Page 1A commit voluntarily, said Lubeck, whose mother is considering joining. "This program has a good feature, working one-on-one," said Andrea Clyne, an LSA first-year student and HERO volunteer. Clyne said this program is a way to urge awareness of homeless issues. The program operates in Flint, Ann Arbor, North Carolina, and Princeton, N.J., but Hasaan and Anderson are look- ing into extending to Nashville, Los Angeles and Minnesota, she said. The program is nationally funded by the Kellogg Foundation, but much of the local funding comes from area busi- nesses and organizations, said Darin Day, executive director of HERO for Washtenaw County. Because it is new to the area, HERO is unsure of the success of solicitation, Day said, but he hopes to find support within the community. TP Pathfindr Pr na.. ram . - Phones are ringing for Olympic tickets ATLANTA - Still haven't bought your ticket to the Olympics? Try quali- fying for the phone dash. Nearly 4 million leftovers from a mail-in ticket campaign wenton saleby telephone Saturday for 13 of the less popular sports, including soccer, base- ball, field hockey and volleyball. Tickets to the hottest events-swim- ming, gymnastics, boxing, and opening and closing ceremonies - were sold out during the mail-order phase that ended Dec. 1. Fred Sprouse of Lawrenceville be- gan dialing at 9 a.m., when the sale started. An hour later, he got through to a recording and spent another hour on hold before he spoke to a sales operator to buy 32 tickets for baseball, a gym- nastics practice session, soccer and field hockey. "I knew it was probably going to take a while," he said. Before the phones started ringing, the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games had raised $328 million of the planned $422 million for tickets. It is trying to reach an overall budget of $1.6 billion. By time the phones closed at 9 p.m., operators had sold 21,396 tickets val- ued at $495,441. The average order was for 16 tickets and cost $353. Web inventor offers* to screen materia BOSTON-The researcher credited with starting the World Wide Web says he'll offer a free screening program to people who want to keep objectionable material from entering their computers from the Internet. Tim Berners-Lee, director of the World Wide Web Consortium at the Massachusetts Institute of Techna ogy, says he would rather see paren control what their children access, instead of relying on broad censor- ship. "The Web is a universal information medium of great importance and poten- tial, and it should not be constrained by government fiat," he said in yesterday's Boston Herald. 'F y.. ,;;i i ""rR.A.. ...a,-. D" --, g Top U.S. official launches effort to save Bosnian peace SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Holbrooke launched a high- profile effort yesterday to put Bosnia's stumbling peace process back on stable footing, and his early assessment of the mission was upbeat. "We think this is going to get straight- ened out," Holbrooke said at Sarajevo airport after a day of talks. "It is a serious problem, but it is one I think that we will be able to deal with," he told reporters earlier. "We are here to make sure things stay on track." In recent days, the U,.S.-initiated peace agreement on Bosnia- Herzegovina has been jeopardized by the Bosnia Serb military's cutoff of relations with NATO and by disputes over the divided city of Mostar. Holbrooke, the main designer of the peace accord, met in Sarajevo with Bosnian government officials. Then he flew in a heavy snowstorm to Belgrade, the Yugoslav capital, for a session with Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, who has represented the Bosnian Serbs in peace negotiations. Yeltsin expected to declae candidacy* MOSCOW - Boris Yeltsin's trip back to his Siberian hometown this week will be a turning point in his career and in the building of Russian democracy. In Yekaterinburg, Yeltsin is expected to formally declare what has been sus- pected for months: that he will seek a second, five-year term as president in the elections. That announcement would mark t real beginning of the campaign for t. most powerful job in Russia. It prom- ises to be brutal for Yeltsin. Last time around, when he handily pulled in 57 percent of the vote, Russia was still part of the Soviet Union and Mikhail Gorbachev was blamed forjust about everything. Now Yeltsin is. Polls show he would be lucky to make it to a second round of voting.
