willing to work with many ideas."
Rose and Mehta carried the Michigan
Party to victory over Savic and her presi-
dential running mate last year.
"I'm going to work with Mike to
ensure, to the best of my abilities, that
he will be well-equipped to take over the
job," Rose said.
Nagrant said the assembly will work
on projects that benefit students, includ-
ing a coursepack store and a plan for the
University's Board of Regents to keep
tuition increases at the rate of inflation.
Nagrant said they will build stronger
relationships with chairs of the various
assembly committees and commissions.
Savic said that as executive officers,
they will reach out to student group
leaders to better use the MSA's
resources and create an assembly stu-
dents can approach with concerns.
"This assembly will be much more
accessible than it has ever been in the
past," Savic said.
Victors Party presidential candidate
Jim Riske said the new administration has
the chance to change MSA.
"I think that they have a good oppor-
tunity and I certainly know Olga can do
a good job," Riske said. "I'll give them
the benefit of the doubt right now."
Matt Tomback, the Pissed Off With
Korrupt Executives vice presidential can-
didate, said his party is pleased to have
gotten their opinion heard and happy the
Students' Party team was elected.
"MSA needs a change and I hope
they can live up to their promises,"
Tomback said.
The Liberty Party's presidential can-
didate, Martin Howrylak, said he is
satisified with the students' choice.
"It's good that Mike won," Howrylak
said. "I think they'll be one of the better
executive teams."
United Rebels Front vice presidential
candidate Stuart Krein said the MSA
should see positive leadership from the
Students' Party in the coming year.
"Olga and Mike, at least from what I
hear, seem like great people," Krein said.
Independent presidential candidate
Jessica Curtin could not be reached for
comment.

"This is a remarkable group of peo-
ple. There are both President Mandela's
and Deputy President Mbeki's legal
advisers here. It's just stunning," said
symposium coordinator and Law sec-
ond-year student John Humphrey.
The nine panels scheduled through-
out the weekend ranged from Friday's
"Nation vs. Province: Will
Cooperative Governance Work?" to
Saturday's "Gender Equality and
Indigenous Law: Is the New
Reconcilable with the Old?," the most
highly attended panel.

emphasized the importance of bridging
the gap between the rich and the poor.
"One of the legacies of apartheid is that
we (are) left with economic disparity;'
she said. "What we're talking about here
is the issue of distributive justice."
At the closing banquet Saturday night,
held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, South
African parliament member and long-
time African National Congress advo-
cate Mavivi Manzini shared her unique
perspective on the symposium's goals.
"Of course with this limited time, we
just scratched the surface of our vast
experiences, as our story cannot be told
in three days only," Manzini said.
"Our constitution was written in
blood, sweat and tears," Manzini said,
her careful pronunciation cutting
through the complete silence of the 135
guests. "Most of us lost our loved ones,
family, friends and whole communi-
ties. We hope historians will one day be
able to write the complete story of our
constitution."
Many of the conference participants,
including Manzini, had been exiled
from South Africa for political reasons
before Mandela came into power.

Mammograms recommended at age 0
RESTON, Va. - The American Cancer Society recommended yesterday that
women begin annual mammograms af age 40, and the National Cancer Institute
may soon reverse itself and adopt similar guidelines.
Until now, the cancer society has urged mammograms every year or two fot
women in their 40s. The changed recommendation is intended to save lives a
simplify the confusion surrounding mammography guidelines, Dr. M
Cunningham, the society's president, said yesterday.
"We are confident that these guidelines will save lives," Cunningham said. "We
think women need specific guidance, and if there is a benefit we should say so.
Mammograms for younger women have become one of the most contentious
issues in medicine, especially since the federal cancer institute said two
months ago that it could not make sweeping recommendations for women
under age 50.
Since then, the institute has been under pressure from Congress to do just that,
and it now appears to be on the verge of recommending mammograms for all
women in their 40s.
The society's board of directors adopted the new guideline on Saturday
announced the change yesterday at a science writers conference sponsored by
cancer society.

FBI investigates
clasagainst China
WASHINGTON - The FBI has
effectively merged its investigation of
an alleged Chinese government effort
to influence the American political sys-
tem using covert campaign contribu-
tions with its probe into charges that
the Democratic Party illegally solicited
foreign campaign donations, according
to U.S. officials.
Although the bureau has not found
conclusive evidence linking the two,
according to U.S. officials, it has now
assigned 31 agents to the combined
investigations.
The FBI's investigation into an
alleged Chinese influence-buying
scheme began first, after the Chinese
government was stung by the Clinton
administration's controversial May
1995 decision to allow Taiwan
President Lee Teng-hui to make an
unofficial visit to the United States.
President Clinton had been pressured
by Congress to approve Lee's visa, and
China purportedly decided that it need-
ed to enhance its influence in Congress
to match Taiwan's formidable lobbying
presence.
The FBI began a separate criminal
investigation last fall into widespread
allegations of improper Democratic
fund-raising. But now, sources
"you can't tell the difference" between
the two.

SALINAS, Calif. - With the April
26 groundbreaking ceremony just *a
few weeks off, Salinas has stumbled
into a jealous - and unexpected -
debate over how best to pay tribute
its most famous native son, John
Steinbeck, who has won the Pulitzer
and the Nobel prizes.
The town that once reviled
Steinbeck now argues over what style
architecture would best reflect his val-
ues, over how to craft exhibits that will
best convey his truths. The $9 million
National Steinbeck Center is due to
open in the summer of 1998.

Zaire resident ends
perio of seclusion
KINSHASA, Zaire - Mobutu Sese
Seko, Africa's longest-ruling dictator,
solved one mystery here yesterday but
immediately sparked another.
The first was simple. The cancer-
stricken president briefly met reporters,
looking tired and frail. But he smiled,
walked unaided and was obviously
alive, ending widespread speculation
that he was dead or nearly so.
"I am named Mobutu," he said soft-
ly, wearing his trademark leopard-skin
cap and waving his silver-topped
ebony cane at the crush of cameras and
microphones.
"I have come here not to pursue
the fortunes of Mobutu and the inter-
ests of Mobutu, as you sometimes
write," he said, two days after his
return from France. "I have come in
the higher interests of Zaire. That is,
for the unity and integrity of our ter-
ritory."
Asked about his health, he replied,
"I am as you see me." Western diplo-
mats expect the 66-year-old leader to
return to his opulent villa on the
French Riviera in a week or so to
resume treatments for prostate can-
cer.
Mobutu's theatrical appearance on
the sunny back portico of his palace
was the first time any outsider had seen
him since his bizarre return.

Saturday's arson brings the number
