2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, April 11, 1997 NATION/WORLD FIRES Continued fam Page l working to try to link Callan with a chain of deliberate arsons committed to motor vehicles and structures fires set on the campus and surrounding areas. The task force included the AAPD, Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department officials and the Department of Public Safety. Hines' order allows Callan to undergo a 45-day period of evaluation by mental health officials from the State Center for Forensic Psychiatry. The findings of the center will be disclosed on June 11, when Callan returns to court.

DPS detectives are currently investi- gating a possible link between Callan and a fire that took place in January on the second level of Mason Hall that caused more than $100,000 in damage. Following Callan's arrest, the AAPD Special Investigations Unit seized jour- nals, shoes, disposable lighters and arti- cles of clothing that the police and pros- ecutors hope will tie Callan to the case. Detective Sgt. Roy Mays of the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department said the fires that destroyed a car and a mobile home at Scio Farms Estates three weeks ago were similar to at least six other fires that have been reported. "The damage has been fairly extensive to various objects - cars, trash dump- sters," Mays said. "There have been enough of these fires to show that there's a serious problem. It has cost Scio Township over a million dollars."

The three-hour meeting closed with tension between the two sides, when LUCha members demanded the administrators sign a statement of intent, which would require the administrators to issue monthly progress reports on their efforts to "end the oppression of Latino/a stu- dents at the University." After Bollinger refused to sign the statement, calling it unacceptable, LUCha members decided to suspend talks. "You have a perfect opportunity; you have people assembled here on a Thursday night to work with you," Bollinger said. "They have offered you sympathy and want to help you, and you turn around and demand they sign a document, holding them hostage. This is counterproductive:' LSA sophomore Diana Derige said the administrators' refusal to sign the statement showed a lack of commit- ment to Latino/a issues. "The meeting for LUCha was a success, but for the administration it was a setback by not signing the con- tract," Derige said. "They set the impression that they were paying LUCha lip service." LUCha member Wilson Valentina said if LUCha's 16 demands are not met, the movement would continue. "We will have LUCha I, II, III, IV," Valentina said making reference to the three Black Action Movements that formed at the University in the past. "We will con- tinue. We are willing to continue actions as we did last Thursday. We are united; we have the power to do that." Bollinger said he was impressed by the arguments presented. "I thought the students were quite impressive," Bollinger said. "I'm sorry they've reached the conclusion they didn't want to talk further." SAROUND TH E NATION Stamp price may climb to 34 cents WASH INGTON - The days of the 32-cent stamp are numbered - soon, it appears, to be replaced by a 34-cent stamp. Postal sources say senior postal management has agreed that the U.S. Postal Service must seek an -increase in the price of the first-class stamp and that Postmaster General Marvin Runyon has endorsed the idea. Until recently, Runyon has sought to hold the price of a stamp at 32 cents un* the year 2000. But, facing a projected $1.3 billion deficit in 1998, and after a brief- ing by top postal managers last week, the postmaster general changed his view. Many postal officials now expect that the agency will initiate proceedings to raise the price of a first-class letter to 34 cents. The increase would not become effective until mid-1998. Even with a 34-cent stamp, Runyon will be able to claim a victory of sorts. Soon after arriving at postal headquarters in 1992, Runyon blocked the agency from proposing a 35-cent stamp - a rate that some postal executives wanted to impose in 1995. Instead, Runyon has effectively changed what historically has been a three-year rate increase cycle. Under that cycle, the Postal Service would make a profit t first year of higher stamp prices, break even the second and then post a deficit 1 the third year.

Wharton said he is also deeply con- cerned with how academia will con- front the growing economic interde- pendence of many countries. Wharton said universities should place more emphasis on studying abroad and inter- national programs. "The days of isolation have passed. '----- ----, i "GREAT GOLF" at i STONEIRIDGE I 1 so ,LP st.

Public Health Prof. Jason Finkle said Wharton has a positive vision for the future that many people should hear. "I agree with his theories. He is extremely precise and has an important global theme that needs to be heard," Finkle said. Wharton said he is passionate about universities funding international pro- grams instead of discounting the pro- grams because of their cost. SENATE Continued from Page 1 process has been much slower than usual. "They're moving pretty slowly," Schwarz said. "I think we have to cut them a little slack because they're fair- ly new to the appropriations process." Rep. Lynne Martinez (D-Lansing), the vice chair of the House subcommit- tee, said she is hopeful that her subcom- mittee will come to a final proposal Wednesday and there will be a final budget by June, before the legislature's summer recess. Martinez also said the House will probably recommend an increase of between 3.5 and 4.5 percent. Line-item veto ruled unconstitutional WASHINGTON - In a decision affecting federal spending and the bal- ance of governmental power, a judge yesterday struck down as unconstitution- al a law that lets the president veto spe- cific items of bills passed by Congress. The 37-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson over- turns the Line-Item Veto Act. The law was passed by Congress a year ago and became effective Jan. 1, but President Clinton has never exercised it. The law allowed the president to veto particular items in spending bills and certain limited tax provisions passed by Congress. Previously, the president could only veto entire bills. Jackson said the law flatly contra- dicts basic tenets of the Constitution. "Where the president signs a bill but then purports to cancel parts of it, he exceeds his constitutional authority and prevents both houses of Congress from participating in the exercise of lawmak- ing authority," Jackson wrote. "Never before has Congress attempt ed to give away the power to shape the content of a statute of the United States, as the act purports to do. ... The formalities of the constitutional frame work must be respected." First lady invokes Hale-Bopp to critics WASHINGTON - First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton ridiculed sug- gestions yesterday that anyone tried to buy the silence of former Justice Department official Webster Hubbell, saying the continuing attention to the Whitewater controversy is akinfa "some people's obsession with UF and the Hale-Bopp comet:' Preventing Hubbell from cooperating with Whitewater prosecutors "was not the intention of anyone that I'm aware of," she told an interviewer. "There isn't anything to be hushed up about, so I attribute that to the ongo- ing saga of Whitewater," Mrs. Clinton said in an interview with National Public Radio's Diane Rehm.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu credited the Palestinians for helping to find the body of a missing Israeli sol- dier, and said the Hamas cell that killed him was responsible for at least 13 other deaths, including a March 21 sui- cide bombing in a Tel Aviv cafe that killed three women. Arafat promised to help stop such bombings this week in a meeting with, the head of Israel's Shin Bet security agency, Israeli and Palestinian officials said Thursday. The meeting was the first high-level contact between Israel and the Palestinians since Israel broke ground three weeks ago for a new Jewish neighborhood in the part of Jerusalem claimed by the Palestinians. It raised hopes that the daily - and deadly - clashes in the West Bank could end. But in the town of Hebron yesterd hundreds of Palestinians threw stones and firebombs at Israeli troops who responded with rubber bullets, injuring seven people.
