2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, A PA Continued from Page IA "It's not as much what I did but what it stood for," Bruce said. "It didn't mat- ter if we were the best group or the worst group. We were all out there because we are all proud of being APA." As Bruce's step-mom, Mariana, con- gratulated him on his performance, she Wc the show was something she never g a chance to experience during her college career. "What I liked was that it showed both the differences and the commonalities of people's cultures;' Mariana said. "I think that only in America can you have this multitude of nations (participate in one show)." Students who attended the event said they didn't mind staying to watch the entire three-hour show. "I had to wait until the end to see my frid," said LSA senior Aimee Shyn. "The show was great so it was worth March 17, 1997 NATiON/WoRLD the wait. LSA junior Probir Mehta, who emceed the event, said he enjoyed it because it allowed the University to see a part of APA not generally represented on campus. "I think it was a phenomonal show, and it showed exactly the activism and pride that Asian Pacific Americans exhibit on campus," Mehta said. "You saw over a dozen cultures up there showcasing their own cultures, show- ing what makesthem uniquely Asian Pacific American." Students weren't the only ones sitting in the sold-out Power Center. Jean Lynn, a Bloomfield Hills resident, said he was proud to support his daughter Freda, an LSA junior who performed in the show. "I think it's good to show the American society through the University some of the cultures and to give the students a chance to have a deeper understanding of where their parents came from," Lynn said. MSA Continued from Page IA business or executive "perks" - is this the best way to spend students' money? "And my answer to that question is students will always be the No. I prior- ity, even internally" Nagrant said. Michigan Party presidential candi- date Probir Mehta said that if he and running mate Dan Serota are elected, they will continue to raise student group funding, as the Michigan Party has done in its last four years of leading the assembly. "This year we raised funding to its highest level ever - $90,000;" Mehta said. "The vast majority (of money from the fee increase) will be returned to students through student-group fund- ing and student services.' Victors Party presidential candidate Jim Riske also said raising the amount of money directed to student groups would be a main focus. . "(One key point of our platform is) the idea that we're going to give S125,000 to student groups, based on the current budget," Riske said. Any money gained from fee increases not allocated for a specific purpose would go directly to students by funding their organizations, he said. Matt Tomback, the Pissed Off with Korrupt Executives Party vice presi- dential candidate, said POKE executive officers would not initiate any fee increases, but instead work with the money they already have to increase funding to student groups. "We'd try everything possible to give more money to student groups," Tomback said. Tomback said the POKE Party would decrease the assembly's current budget allocation for office supplies. Other parties said they would change the process by which the assembly decides how its funds are disbursed. United Rebels Front presidential can- didate Pak Man Shuen said the fee stu- dents pay to MSA should be divided into two parts: one part for internal assembly use and one to be allocated to student groups. Shuen said students should decide whether or not they want to pay either fee. "The MSA would only be there to suggest a level of fees" Shuen said. Independent vice presidential candi- date Nikita Little said that if she and Independent presidential candidate Jessica Curtin are elected, they would want students to be more involved in decisions about how their money is spent. "I think that the most effective way would be a voluntary effort," Little said. "(Increasing or decreasing student group funds) would basically be up to the students." Little suggested getting more student jnput by going to the dorms or the Michigan Union and informing students of MSA mass meetings they can attend to voice their opinions and concerns. Liz Keslacy, Liberty Party vice pres- idential candidate, said the process by which MSA spends money seems "sub- jective." "There needs to be some criteria on how the money is doled out," Keslacy said, adding that student groups should rely more on internal funds than getting MSA dollars. AROUND TH E NATION Clinton, Yeltsin delay summit meeting WASHINGTON -At the request of a hobbled President Clinton, Russia'sBoris Yeltsin agreed yesterday to delay their summit meeting this week by one day to give Clinton an extra day of recuperation from his knee surgery. Just a few weeks ago it was Boris Yeltsin who many doubted was healthy enough to meet with Clinton. Yeltsin was so weakened by pneumonia in January, after heart surgery last fall, that the summit was changed from Washington to Helsin accommodate him. Some thought the meeting would have to be pushed back l April or later, but Yeltsin's recovery has since accelerated. The meetings will be Thursday and Friday in Helsinki, Finland. Clinton is to leave Washington on Wednesday night. Clinton's state visit to Denmark, scheduled for Friday, is being delayed until July. Clinton told reporters he hopes to fit in the Denmark visit while in Europe to attend a NATO summit meeting. In Copenhagen, Prime Minister Poul Nyrup Rasmussen issued a statement expressing "great understanding" of the need to postpone. White House officials said Clinton was going ahead with a planned pre- summit meeting at the White House today with Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov. Primakov met with Secretary of State Madeleine Albri t on Saturday, and was at the Pentagon on Sunday to see Defense Secrets' William Cohen. Ex-spy: Rosenberg didn't steal secrets WASHINGTON - Breaking decades of silence on perhaps the most sensational espionage case of the Cold War, a retired Soviet spy says Julius Rosenberg helped orga- nize a '40s espionage ring for Moscow but was not directly, involved in stealing U.S. secrets about the atomic bomb. Rosenberg and his wife Ethel were executed in the Sing Sing electric chair in 1953 for what FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover called the "crime of the centu- ry" - helping the Soviet Union get their hands on blueprints for the atom- ic bomb in World War II. The Rosenbergs went to their deaths, the only Americans ever executed for spy- ing, insisting they were innocent. The new twist in the long-argued story of treachery comes from Alexander Feklisov, a retired KGB offi- cer who has stepped forward with a detailed account of the Rosenbergs' role. Feklisov said he held clandestine meetings with Julius Rosenberg in New York from 1943 to 1946 and claims to be the only Sbviet intelli- gence officer still alive with first- hand knowledge of the Rosenberg IRS reform lan to be propose today WASHINGTON - The Clinton administration plans to propose a major overhaul of the management of the Internal Revenue Service aimed at deal- ing with years of criticism that the agency is badly run and mistreats taxpayers while allowing hundreds of millions of dolO in taxes to go uncollected. The plan, which is to be outlined today in a speech by Deputy Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, would bring IRS operations under closer con- trol of the Treasury Department, increase the agency's flexibility in per- sonnel and pay matters, and put a man- agement specialist, rather than a tax expert, in charge of the agency.

Running Aerobics Crosst raining z __ A 8 Volleyball Zaire officials meet behind closed doors KINSHASA, Zaire - Zaire's gov- ernment appeared rudderless yesterday, with President Mobutu Sese Seko in France and his top aides closeted in meetings aftei- rebels captured the country's third-largest city and set their sights on the capital. A source close to the government and a Western diplomat, both speaking on condition of anonymity, said army leaders were meeting to debate taking over the government and opening talks with the rebels. The sourceclose to the government said some army leaders were impatient with Mobutu's refusal to meet rebel leader Laurent Kabila, and believed negotiations were the only way to con- tain the chaos in Zaire. "All the conditions are there for a coup d'etat, but the army doesn't have any way of doing this. The only thing they know how to do is loot;' said Victor Nendaka Bika, former head of intelligence under Mobutu and now leader of a group of wealthy business- men and politicians from eastern Zaire. Mobutu postponed his scheduled Monday return to Zaire from France, fueling the speculation about the potential collapse of the gove* ment. Columbia's defense nister resigns BOGOTA, Colombia - Colombia's defense minister resigned yesterday after acknowledging that a wealthy drug trafficker may have given money to his 1989 election campaign. Guillermo Alberto Gonzalez said he feared the scandal would be a distraction and prevent him from fulfilling his duties. "I think that your separation from the post of defense minister is the most appropriate ... to preserve Colombia's international credibility in the fight against drugs," President Ernesto Samper said in a letter to Gonzalez. - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
