2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 24, 1997 BUSINESS Continued from Page 1A Besides maintaining a basis of excel- lence in academics, the School of Business provides a dimension of glob- al networking, Snyder said. "The basic features of our Business School are very well known," Snyder said. "We are very well known for being very innovative. We are redefin- ing what the MBA is all about." Snyder said that each year the quan- tity and quality of applications has been increasing. "We've been getting better applica- tions year by year, but this is another jump up'" Snyder said. "How that will translate to next year's class? We do not know." NATION/WORLD Gunman opens fire at Empire State Bldg. UCLA SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY AND SOCIAL RESEARCH Applications are now being accepted for the new UCLA Master of Public Policy (MPP) Program, which admitted its first class in Fall 1996. Offered by one of the country's top research universities, the two-year MPP program combines rigorous training in basic analytical skills and real- world experience in a summer internship to teach students how to solve problems across boundaries -- whether economic, public/private, cultural, or political. Students can select concentrations in Employment and Labor; Regional Development Policy; Social Welfare Policy; and Transportation and Urban Development. Or they can design their own, drawing on the multidisciplinary interests of the School's more than 60 faculty members, as well as other UCLA departments. , For further materials and information, please contact: NEW YORK (AP) - A Palestinian man who came to the country last Christmas Eve opened fire into a crowd of tourists on the observation deck of the Empire State Building yesterday, killing one person and wounding six others before fatally shooting himself in the head. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said the gunman carried a passport that identi- fied him as 69-year-old Ali Abu Kamal, a Palestinian from Ramallah, on Israel's West Bank, who entered the United States on Christmas Eve, 1996. Dozens of people - many of them foreign tourists - fled in panic toward the stairways and elevators as Abu Kamal sprayed bullets around the large, windowed room that opens onto the observation deck. A baby and toddler were knocked from their parents' arms in the panic. "I've never seen so much blood in my life," said Belgian businessman Stef Nys, who said he saw the man shoot himself and fall, his dentures popping loose. "The most scary part was when people started to panic." The man muttered something about Egypt seconds before he began shooting at about 5 p.m. on the 86th floor obser- vation deck of one of the world's best- known tourist sites, authorities said. Police weren't sure of the signifi- cance of his remarks about Egypt. Abu Kamal flew to New York last Christmas Eve and bought a .380 cal- iber semi-automatic pistol in Florida at the end of January, Giuliani said. A 27-year-old musician from Denmark was killed, Giuliani said. Anohert 27-year-old man was shot in the head, while two other men were shot in the shoulder, a man was shot in the leg. A 44-year-old French man and his 36-year-old wife were both shot in the buttocks. The victims were from Argentina, Switzerland, Connecticut and New York City, Giuliani said. Four women and the two young children were hurt in the crowd. "I'd been out there about one minute when I heard what I thought to be fire- crackers," said David Robinson, a tourist from England. "Then everyone started panicking." A French family, Jean-Luec Will, his wife, Catherine, and two sons, 10 and 13, said they had just arrived at the Empire State Building on the second day of a trip to New York. "I heard a loud popping noise," Will said. "I thought at first it was little child playing with fireworks. There was one shot, then two or three seconds passed then three shots, pop, pop, pop." Gerard Guntner of Jersey City, N.J., said he tried to help a man with a bullet wound in the head on the deck by cradling his head in towels. "He was bleeding profusely. He was coughing blood. I took the towels and wrapped them around his head. I just said, 'Hang in there."' Guntner said. "I've never seen anything like this in my life." THE DAILY. A GOOD PAPER TO READ.

A NAn N'X E OR Anti-drug aid to Mexico may contin e WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Madeleine Albright opened the possibility yesterday'that the administration could . cite national security reasons to continue aid to Mexican anti- narcotics programs despite flaws in that country's drug-fight- ing efforts. President Clinton must decide by March 1 whether Mexico deserves re-certification and further aid for attacking drugs, a decision complicated by the arrest of the Mexican general in charge of the campaign. Albright, interviewed from Tokyo on ABC's "This Week," said charges that Gen. Jesus Gutierrez Rebollo, the head of Clinton Mexico's drug program, was taking money from Mexican C drug smugglers were very serious. "That does make the glass half-empty she said. On the other hand, she said, President Ernesto Zedillo's quick action in arresting Gutierrez "makes the glass half-full." National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, on CNN's "Late Edition," also not the arrest of the general was "an indication of how firmly President Zedillo is cc mitted to fighting what is a very serious problem." 111 1 UCtA MPP ADMISSIONS COUNSELOR UCLA SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY AND SOCIAL RESEARCH 3250 PUBLIC POLICY BUILDING BOX 951656 LOS ANGELES, CA 90095-1656 "(310) 206-3148*E-mail: mppinfo@sppsr.ucla.edue *Visit our website: http://www.sppsr.ucla.edue Adult mamml cloned for first time Researchers for the first time have cloned an adult mammal, a controver- sial feat that could presage the ability to clone human beings. The startling achievement, long thought to be biologically impossible, was accomplished with sheep, the first of which, named Dolly, was born in July in Edinburgh, Scotland. Nine cloned lambs have been born so far, each an identical genetic "twin" of the parent from which it was cloned. In theory, the same technique could be used to make unlimited copies of any single adult animal, the researchers said. The Scottish scientists who conducted the work said their goal was not to clone humans, but to create large herds of spe- cially engineered farm animals - including some that would produce human medicines in their milk and others that would contain "humanized" organs suitable for transplantation into people. Herds of cloned animals custom- made to have human diseases could also prove useful in the search for cures for those human ills, they said. Eventually, for example, barns filled with identical sheep all suffering from cystic fibrosis could replace the cages full of mice that are now the workhorses of such research, allowing testing of new drugs on animals whose lungs resemble pie's much more than mouse lungs d Starr concludes Foster not murdered LOS ANGELES - Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr etas concluded that presidential aide Vince Foster was not murdered and there, was no cover-up in his death, the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday. 0 Starr's recently completed repprt is the third investigation of Foster's death from a gunshot wound 3 1/2 years ago..

China prepares to cremate leader BEIJING - Police blockaded a cemetery for revolutionary heroes yes- terday, keeping back hundreds of curi- ous Chinese while soldiers made final preparations for the nation's farewell to Deng Xiaoping. Deng is to be cremated today, hours before U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright arrives in Beijing on the last stop of a nine-country around-the-world trek, sources at state- run TV said. Eulogies praising Deng's exploits and his economic reforms, which raised tens of millions of Chinese from poverty, gushed yesterday from govern- ment television and media. Soldiers, meanwhile, solemnly rehearsed, carrying an empty, see- through bier at the cemetery for Communist veterans where Deng is to be cremated in Babaoshan, a neighbor- hood in western Beijing. Police blocked a side road to the cemetery and kept back crowds of about 200 people from its front gate, where a flag flew at half-staff. At one point, a stream of about eight black limousines sped out of the cemetery. Deng died Wednesday at age 92 family asked that his ashes be scattored at sea after a memorial tomorrow, which 10,000 people will attend.
