Blough said many students break the
monotony of studying by going out.
"Today, they can forgo their normal
studies for Monday and worry about it
on Tuesday," Blough said.
Engineering junior Peter Lazarevski
said there was no difference of the cel-
ebration of St. Patrick's Day this year
than any other year.
"St. Patrick's Day has always been an
excuse to drink," Lazerevski said.
Blough said he did not expect the
partying to get out of hand at Ashley's.

"I would be careful of over-serving
tonight, but I don't see that as being a
big problem," Blough said.
Blough predicted last night would be
profitable for the alcohol industry.
"Money will be there tonight," he said.
Some students did not wait until yes-
terday evening to drink. One student
was so drunk he said he could not
remember his name.
"I have been drinking all day," the
inebriated student said early in the
afternoon. "I am so smashed right now.
Let the festivities begin!"
Blough said Ashley's has stocked up
for the holiday. "We have extra kegs of
Irish whisky," Blough said.

If he is elected, Shuen said MSA

Clinton asks Russia not to resist NATO
WASHINGTON - In pre-summit talks at the White House, President Clinton
tried to persuade Russia's foreign minister yesterday to lower resistance to NATO
expansion. But in Moscow, Russian President Boris Yeltsin said, "We can't move
any further."
The aim of Clinton's meeting with Foreign Minister
Yevgeny Primakov was to assuage Yeltsin's anxieties over
NATO in advance of the two leaders' two-day summit in
Helsinki, Finland.
But Primakov emerged from the one-hour session saying,
"Russia will not change its position on NATO."
And in Moscow, Yeltsin urged Clinton to make conces-
sions. "Our diplomats have made enough concessions to the
United States," Yeltsin said. "Now it's the U.S. turn to move
in order to preserve our partnership."
Even so, the two sides are working on a new relationship Clinton
between Moscow and NATO, one that White House press
secretary Mike McCurry said would be made politically but not legally binding.
Primakov said Russia would not drop its insistence on "a binding character" b@
it understood NATO was a real force and would like to have a normal relationship.

Students' Party vice presidential can-
didate Olga Savic, a former MSA rep-
resentative, said one of the main rea-
sons she is running is to change how the
executive officers lead the assembly.
Savic said Students' Party leaders
would act as guides to committee and
commission chairs.
"The first thing I'd like to see is a
more interactive assembly in terms of
the executive officers working with the
representatives," Savic said.

Debates excluded
fringe candidates
WASHINGTON - The Supreme
Court agreed yesterday to decide
whether public television networks
may exclude from debates fringe candi-
dates who have generated little interest
among voters.
The justices said they would review a
lower court ruling that said a state-run
Arkansas network violated the free
speech rights of an independent candi-
date for Congress when the network
staged a debate with only Republican
and Democratic candidates.
A decision could affect election cov-
erage and debates by public TV stations
nationwide. The Federal Election
Commission, which is siding with the
Arkansas Educational Television
Commission, said the lower court rul-
ing, if upheld, "will undoubtedly lead
many state-entity licensees to abandon
their sponsorship of such debates in the
future." The case will be heard in the
term that begins next October and a
decision is expected by mid-1998.
AROUND THE
Israelis, Palestinians
prepare for worst
JERUSALEM - Israeli army
snipers took up positions and
Palestinian protesters erected tents yes-
terday, eyeing each other suspiciously
on a hill in disputed east Jerusalem
where Israel plans to build 6,500 apart-
ments for Jews.
Both sides were waiting for Israel's
government to give the order - per-
haps as early as this morning - for
construction to begin.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
is determined to go ahead with the con-
troversial project. The Palestinians,
who claim east Jerusalem as their
future capital, warn they will block the
bulldozers - with their bodies, if nec-
essary.
"When it comes to Jerusalem, we are
ready to confront anyone ... to assert
our sovereignty," Netanyahu said yes-
terday. "If we do not stand up to threats
over Jerusalem, we will not stand up to
threats over anything."
Despite the tough statements, nego-

The dispute began in; 1992 when
Ralph Forbes, an independent candi-
date for Arkansas's Third
Congressional District, was excluded
from a debate on the Arkansas
Educational Television Network. The
editors, citing Forbes's ladklusterpublic
support, determined Forbes was no*
serious candidate.
New drug may cut
heart attack deaths
ANAHEIM, Calif.- A powerful
new clot-preventing medicine appears
to cut the risk of heart attack and death
in almost half the people hospitalized
with severe chest pain, a medical en
gency that afflicts more than 1 millif'
Americans annually.
The drug is one of a new classof
medicines that are likely to revolution-
ize the treatment of unstable angina, an
ominous attack of chest pain that is the
leading reason for admitting people to
coronary care units.
The medicine is a sort of super aspirin
that stops the formation of blood clots.

Major announces
date for election
LONDON - John Major invited
Britain to a national election on Ma
that is expected to write his politiW
epitaph.
After ritual consultation with Queen
Elizabeth, Major's announcement of
the election date ended months of polit-
ical skirmishing, conjecture and
maneuvering. Now, after 18 years of
rule by his Conservative Party, Major is
running for his life against a reborn
Labor Party led by young centrist Tony
Blair.
