2- The Michigan Daily - Friday, April 5, 1996 NATION/WORLD UNABOMBER Continued from Page 1 new technology and "social disruption and psychological suffering." Prof. Chia-Shun Yih, who served on Kaczynski's dissertation committee, said there is no evidence of this attitude in the mathematical work Kaczynski completed at the University. "There is no connection between the violent bombs and the work he did on his dissertation," Yih said. After a short career at the University of California at Berkeley, Kaczynski disappeared from the field, Yih said. "I was surprised and dismayed that, after so many years of education given to him at the University and at Harvard, that he would show his ideologies that way." Duren said Kaczynski didn't strike him as suspicious or "pathological," despite his quiet and meticulous nature. "If he is the one that they are looking for, (a change) must have happened at Berkeley, but that is pure conjecture," Duren said. "If he is guilty, he is a very different person thanthe person I knew." Duren said the faculty may not have been aware of the articles Kaczynski published independently duringhis time at the University. Kaczynski released at least five studies between 1965-1969, mostly focusing on boundary functions. Kaczynski cited and thanked Uni- versity mathematics Prof. George Piranian in several of the articles. Kaczynski was a student in Piranian's second-year class dealing with com- plex variables. Piranian said if he had been asked in 1967 if he thought Kaczynski could commit the bombings, "I would have given a categorical no."

Officials find mass graves in Bosnia SAHINICI, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) - U.N. investigators yesterday stacked up rows of blindfolds on a muddy hillside, powerful evidence that beneath them lay the victims of an eth- nic massacre. The dozens of blindfolds, strips of cloth mostly in dark colors, support survivors' accounts that up to 7,000 men were slaughtered by the Bosnian Serbs who overran the Muslim enclave of Srebrenica last summer. In Bosnia's first spring thaw in peace after four years of war, investi- gators are spreading out in pursuit of human remains and other physical evidence to back up such accounts. What they find will be used by the war crimes tribunal in the Netherlands to prosecute those responsible. Other mass graves dot Bosnia - Bosnian Serbs have excavated more than 100 bodies near the western town of Mrkonjic Grad since Saturday. The Serbs say the victims apparently were killed by Croats. But Srebrenica appears to be the site of the worst massacre of the war, and the fields around it have come to sym- bolize the horror of Bosnia's ordeal. Survivors say that after July's fall of Srebrenica, Bosnian Serb fighters loaded the men into trucks and brought them to a school gymnasium near Sahinici, 35 miles southeast of Srebrenica. Freemen sit down with negotiators JORDAN, Mont. - Sitting on folding chairs on a dirt road, the besieged Freemen met with negotiators yesterday for the first time in the 11-day standoff. Four Freemen met for about an hour and a half with four negotiators at the edge of the fugitives' compound. At least one of the negotiators meeting with the Freemen was a federal agent, but the identities of the other three could not be immediately confirmed. The identities of the Freemen representatives were also unknown. One of the Freemen did most of the talking, occasionally standing, walking around and waving his arms. Reporters were kept about a mile away, but the negotiations could be seen clearly through binoculars and telephoto lenses. Freemen in a pickup truck parked about 100 yards away watched the meeting closely. Federal agents did the same from another vantage point, and a surveillance plane circled overhead. When the meeting ended, the Freemen packed up the chairs and went back to the ranch house on the 960-acre farm. The negotiators drove past about a dozen TV crews and reporters without stopping to comment. However tentative, it was the first sign of a break in the standoff that began with high tension March 25 when agents arrested two Freemen leaders. The tension l dulled into routine. I' i nwvA #oe..p. 4 +' '.4) T Although University faculty at apress conference yesterday discussed only the mathematical concepts of Kaczynski's work, it is a discussion of "ideologies" that connects the Unabomber to mail bombs sent across the country in the past 18 years. Investigators have linked the Unabomber to a bomb targeting Uni- versity psychology Prof. James McConnell in 1985. Psychology Prof. Charles Morris reaffirmed past suspi- cions reported in The Michigan Daily that the Unabombermay have disagreed with McConnell's book "Understand- ing Human Behavior" and his genetic experimentation. "(Behavioralism) takes the view that human beings are largely controllable," Morris said. "The Unabomber may have taken that as an offenseto his philosophy." An essay published by McConnell in "The Behavioral Therapist" touched on another plank in the Unabomber's Mani- festo. McConnell encouraged professors to "practice what we preach" in behav- ioral modification studies in order to "improve the acceptance of academic psychology by the general public." The Unabomber criticized univer- sity professors for their conformity and "leftist" philosophies. Greg Stejskal, director of the Ann Arbor FBI, said the local office has been working extensively on the case for more than a month. Stejeskal said the case, centered on Kaczynski, is still under investigation. - Daily News Editor Josh White contributed to this article. Comet Hyakutake emits eerie X-rays WASHINGTON - Astonished as- tronomers have detected mysterious X- rays emanating from Comet Hyakutake as it sweeps past Earth toward the sun. The first X-rays ever found coming from any comet, they are revealed in an image released yesterday by a team of U.S. and German astrophysicists using the German ROSAT satellite. The discovery is surprising, the re- searchers said, because a comet is an icy ball of dirt, whereas X-rays - one of the most energetic forms of electro- magnetic radiation - are most often associated with gases heated to a mil- lion degrees or more, such as flares on the sun, or with violent interactions involving subatomic particles. "We had no clear expectation that comets shine in X-rays," said Michael Mumma, of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.,a mem- ber of the international team that an- nounced the finding yesterday. "Now we have our work cut out for us in explaining these data. But that's the kind of problem you lave to have." The team used the orbiting ROSAT - an X-ray observatory - to observe the comet repeatedly over a total of six hours, between March 26 and March 28. The image released yesterday was taken March 27, as the comet passed within 10 million miles of Earth. Study: Altered gene causes lung cancer PHILADELPHIA - A damaged gene found in many lung cancer tumors appears to play a critical role in devel- oping the disease that kills 160,000 Americans a year, cancer researchers said yesterday. The discovery may lead to newa- proaches for cancer prevention, s Dr. Carlo Croce, director ofthe Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University. The gene, named FHIT, is involved in a number of airway and digestive tract tumors, and-is thought to work normally as the vital shield that blocks the growth of many deadly tumors, re- searchers said.

Tater said the University had been "pretty chilled" about allocating the necessary permits. It will supply elec- tricity to power a microphone for those speaking during the hour. HEMP AZ paid a $600 cleaning de- posit and $200 for the electricity that came mostly from funds left over from last year's Hash Bash. Organizer Rich Birkett said the event's attendance is usually heavily affected by the weather. "We've had up to 10,000 people in the past, but the attendance depends a lot on the weather," he said. "The number might be down this year because it's supposed to be cold, but there are die-hards that will come no matter what." Birkett said Hash Bash was more than just an excuse to smoke pot. "We're not here to promote any- thing illegal - that's not what we're about," he said. "But we think people should be able to have fun there any- way they like." Both Birkett and fellow-organizer Adam Brook said this year's event would focus on Hash Bash's history because of the anniversary. "It's kind of neat - I'm 28 years old and this thing is almost as old as I am," Brook said. "(Hash Bash) is a great extension of your rights. Since 1989 and the hemp movement, it's no longer just a smoke- in," he said. "It has become a political movement." The Bash's headline speakers will be Chef Ra, cooking columnist for High Times Magazine, and John Sinclaire, who organizers called one of the Bash's "main inspirations." "It's a happening thing - that's really what we're all about," Brook said. "There are people all over the coun- try promoting the Hash Bash. It's amaz- ing how many people show up." ml I Heeding ho Kinow of news? Student protests of S. Korean president escalate in Seoul SEOUL, South Korea - Thousands7 of college students marched through Seoul yesterday in rapidly escalating mass student protests that for the first time are calling for the ouster of Presi- dent Kim Young Sam. The protests - triggered by the re- cent heart-attack death ofa student dem- onstrator after he was beaten by riot police - could hardly come at a worse time for Kim, whose ruling New Korea Party is already expected to lose its parliamentary majority in crucial legis- lative elections next week. Kim has been president since 1993. The sharp turn of campus sentiment against Kim - who in the 1980s was revered by college students as a leading fighter for democracy - is widely viewed as damaging to the ruling party, especially among younger voters. The party was already plagued by a corrup- tion scandal that erupted several weeks ago. Protesters rallied throughout the day RLSD yesterday at Yonsei University, around a coffin containing the body of Roh Soo Sok, 20. A huge sign by the main cam- pus gate declared: "Before we bury Soo Sok, let's topple down Kim Young Sam, murderer and chief thiefl" IRA reaffirms vow to drive British out LONDON - The Irish Republican Army quashed hopes of an early cease fire in its terror campaign to drive the British out of Northern Ireland yesterday, a move that renewed security fears head- ing into the Easter holiday weekend. Despite calling fora negotiated se ment to endthe long conflict in Northern Ireland, the paramilitary group reaf- firmed its "mandate for armed struggle' in a statement released in Dublin. The statement was released befor Sunday parades that commemorate 1916 Irish uprising against Britain. The IRA halted its 17-month cease fire in February and has since targete London with four bombs that have kille three and injured scores. - From Daily wire serv- 5 Sure you deserve some fun this summer after your hard work this academic year.
