Rwandan relief is
logistics, not troops
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Clinton administration sharply scaled
k its proposed military relief mis-
son to Rwanda yesterday, opting to
send about 1,000 logistics specialists
instead of combat troops.
"There's no question that the situa-
tion looks better than it did a couple of
days ago" President Clinton said this
morning in Australia, where he is on the
first leg of a trip to Asia.
Defense Secretary William Perry
said the "very positive development"
fhundreds of thousands of refugees
urning home to Rwanda prompted
the administration to adjust its strat-
egy. r
"We are modifying our plans based
on this dramatic change," Perry said at
a conference in Washington on military
procurement. "The U.S. contribution
will be less than 1,000 and these will be
support - logistics - not combat
troops," Perry added.
1inton told reporters that he
pected a recommendation shortly
from his advisers on how the interna-
tional community should respond to
the situation.
Perry said a final decision on the
Canadian-led multinational military
relief effort will be made tomorrow in
Stuttgart, Germany, at a meeting of
officials from nations offering to join
the 10,000- to 12,000-strong force.
A senior administration official said
discussions with U.S. allies and with
Rwanda and its neighbors would con-
tinue at least through Saturday. The U.S.
force would arrive two to three days
after a final decision is made, she said.
The official said the plan would not
go forward without the support of the
Rwandan government, which repeated
yesterday that with refugees returning,
the mission is not needed.
"Obviously, we need the consent of
the Rwandan government," the U.S.
official said. "Given the nature of the
mission, it wouldn't be worthwhile if
(Rwanda) weren't agreeable."
In the meantime, U.S. airlift control
teams have been sent to three airfields
in Africa to help provide relief supplies.
Those teams will work out of airports in
Rwanda, Kenya and Uganda, Perry
said.
Perry said the situation in Africa
"still remains very fluid" and the
administration is prepared to step up its

efforts if needed.
The Clinton administration was on
the verge last week of sending in 1,000
combat-ready paratroopers to seize an
airport to deliver relief supplies, bol-
stered by 3,000 support troops in near-
by countries.

Thompson said. "I've heard about this

anything about it.'
Not all of the parties will be out

posters and visions for the future.

Kuo promised to do Barney serious

"If I see a Barney guy, I will pull a

said.
Nihilist Party candidate Andrew
Serowik said running a diligent cam-
paign does not have to mean cutting
class.
"My party and I will be out all day,
but I also plan to go to class!' Serowik
said. "But in the past couple of days
I've found myself going to bed at 3 a.m.
and getting up really early and that's just
for fliering and stuff'."
The candidates aren't the only ones
who are headed for a couple of hectic
days - MSA Election Director Angie
Blake is responsible for coordinating
the complicated campuswide election
process.
Blake said she expects many minor
rules violations such as campaign
posters on glass and campaigning too
close to polling sites.
"I'll probably be answering phone calls
about lots of election violations," Blake
said. "I don't think the violations will be
on purpose necessarily - because there
are a lot of new parties this year, they may
not have taken the time to get to know
the voters."
Bacon told reporters that 30 U.S. cargo
planes had been positioned at various
bases in Europe and Africa to help
move supplies, equipment and people,
if an order to move ahead is given.
"We have not yet decided to move
forward with the mission" he said. "We
are positioning ourselves."

son I didn't run with a party is I felt like
I could get more done without having
to worry about a party platform - I
can decide the issue for me, not my
party.
LSA Rep. and independent candi-
date Andy Schor agreed.
"It's a little easier to tell students
what I stand for and don't have to
account for all the people on my party's
platform," Schor said. "Now I can say,
'Vote forvme and chose who else you
want to vote for for yourself' - not
'Vote for me and everyone else on my
slate."'
Schor, who ran for president last
spring with the Wolverine Party, said he
missed the social side of party affilia-
tions. The Wolverine Party is not run-
ning a slate this term.
"I miss doing a lot of things with
friends," Schor said. "When you are
part of a party you go to Kinko's at
midnight the night before the elections
with everyone else and stuff like that."
