2A - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, September 3, 1997 Russia may fine two Mir cosmonauts MOSCOW (AP) - Russia may fine two of its own cosmonauts for history's worst space collision, rejecting the vet- eran crew members' claim that Mir's worn-out equipment was to blame, an overseer of the space station said yes- terday. A space commission concluded beyond any doubt" that Vasily Tsibliyev and Alexander Lazutkin caused the damaging June 25 crash, according to Valery Ryumin, the Russian coordinator of the Mir-NASA program. The collision occurred during the practice docking of an unmanned robot spacecraft to the aging space station. "Personally, we felt pity for the boys, but the facts remain," Ryumin told the ITAR-Tass news agency. "Most likely we will have to fine them" Russia has a history of rewarding and punishing its cosmonauts financially, with cosmonaut Gennady Strekalov saying he was stripped of some benefits for refusing to make an extra spacewalk from Mir in 1995. The space program has an elaborate bonus system that includes not only hazardous-duty pay, but specific pay- ments for such tasks as spacewalks and manual dockings. For example, Russians earn an extra $1,000 for each spacewalk. American astronaut Michael Foale, who remains aboard Mir, was the third member of the crew at the time of this summer' accident.

"Two different search committees zeroed in on Goss," Canham said. "Goss was among the top three in the search when I retired to take my place and he was in the top three four years ago." Duderstadt said he wishes he could have enticed Goss to come to the University four years ago. "I tried very hard to attract him to Michigan, but his own ongoing com- mitments made it impossible at that time," Duderstadt said. "He is an out- standing person, a strong business leader, with a good understanding of athletics. He has been involved with Michigan athletics throughout the years and he already knows a great many people in the program. I think he will do very well." Canham said another search this year would have been redundant. "He is a very dear friend of mine," Canham said. "He played football at the University when I was athletic director. He is a great guy and I think he will be a great athletic director" Goss received his undergraduate education at the University and played football from 1966-68. He was an All-Big Ten defensive tackle in 1968. Since his days on campus, Goss has been an active part of the business world, holding the positions of vice president for sales of Faygo Beverages, executive VP and general manager of National Beverage Corp.'s Western Shasco Division and president and chief operating officer of PIA Merchandising. Through all of his business endeav- ors, he still has not forgotten his maize and blue roots. In the early 1970s, Goss was a mem- ber of the Big Ten's Black Commission, a delegation of black athletes that looked for ways to improve college ath- letics. Goss also served as the president of the Detroit branch of the University Club, an alumni organization. Goss will become the fourth person to serve as athletic director in nine years. He will inherit a bruised and bat- tered athletic program that is currently conducting an investigation into alleged NCAA infractions with the basketball team and trying to overcome four straight disappointing football sea- sons, in which the University lost four games each year. Bollinger would not confirm Goss' nomination. "I've spent several months looking into questions about the nature of the program and the type of leader the pro- gram needs," Bollinger said. Though the news of Goss' future nomination has spread around the University community, Vice President for University Relations Walter Harrison and Regent Philip Power (R- Ann Arbor) said they would not con- firm the reports "Goss was a leading candidate in our search four years ago and he impressed many people very greatly" Power said. Michigan mens' swimming coach Jon Urbanchek said Goss will be an ideal person for the position. "The athletic program at Michigan is like a freight train - it just keeps going. It is nice to have a new leader, but this program will just keep going," Urbanchek said. "We just want to make sure that whoever is going to be at the top continues to let the sport blossom." - AROUND THE NATION Lawmakers return from sunner break WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawmakers began returning from their summer recess yesterday with leaders pledging not to let differences over spending bills force another government shutdown. But they also conceded several thorny issues need to be resolved this fall. President Clinton, meanwhile, might see the coming weeks as a fresh opportu- nity to use his line-item veto power. "I'm not interested in creating confrontational issues - or avoiding then Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) told reporters, as he outlined the Senate's agenda for the coming weeks. The Senate returned from its month-long recess yesterday, and the House returns today. Both Lott and House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-Texas) warned that a p i- ority item of Clinton's, so-called fast-track authority for negotiating trade agree- ments, could be in jeopardy Lott predicted "rough sledding" if Clinton insists on tying the authority to new concessions to labor and environmentalists. And little enthusiasm was voiced on either side of the Capitol for another ite on the administration's wish list - campaign finance reform.

The Washington Monument is about to become even more easily distin- guished: Beginning sometime this win- ter, it will become a 555-foot high obelisk surrounded by scaffolding. Winter is when the National Park Service is scheduled to begin a three- year, $5 million repair effort that will be the most comprehensive overhaul of the monument since it opened to the public in 1888. And think of it not as the Washington Monument, but the Washington Monument-sponsored-by-Target, the department store chain. Target is con- tributing $1 million, and it has helped raise the other $4 million. This makes Target the "corporate partner" of the National Park Service and the National Park Foundation - which are deter- mined to avoid the term "sponsorship." SAROU14D TI' U.S. troops relinquish transmitter to Serbs SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Surrounded by stick-wielding Bosnian Serbs, U.S. troops agreed yes- terday to relinquish a television trans- mitter they had controlled to forces answering to war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic. In exchange, the Serbs, under the direction of Karadzic ally Momcilo Krajisnik, promised to end inflamma- tory anti-West rhetoric and permit opposition voices on the air. Krajisnik, the Bosnian Serb member of the country's three-man presidency, praised the deal as a "wise" step by NATO peacekeepers to avoid conflict with the Serbs. Others wondered if the Americans had blinked, having been embarrassed by last week's bungling of a military operation to take over pro- Karadzic police stations. Adding insult to injury, the newly restored television transmission was used last night to cancel Serbian partic- ipation in crucial municipal elections scheduled for Sept. 13-14. The transmitter, on a hilltop in north- eastern Bosnia, was seized by American troops last week as part of a Target raised the money so quickly that the 'company was ready to announce the project before the Park Service was ready to award contracts for the work. Federal building is Reagan namesae WASHINGTON - In an era ofgov- ernment downsizing, the new Ronald Reagan Building and Internatipnal Trade Center stands out. Not only is it gigantic, it also comes with a huge price tag: $738 million. The structure on Pennsylvania Avenue, between the White House and the Capitol, is the first federal building built here in 20 years. The L-shap* complex is the biggest federal edifice after the Pentagon, boasting 3.1 milliQn square feet. Eighty-five elevators serve its 14 floors (nine above ground and five below.) Aside from office space - a small portion will be rented to commer- cial users-the complex includes a 650- seat auditorium, a 980-seat food court, ballrooms and a 125-foot-high atrium. campaign to shore up Karadzic foe Biljana Plavsic, president of the Bosnian Serb Republic. But the troops soon became targets of about 200 angry, stone-hurling Serbs. Media and police are the two centt tools in the battle to gain and hold onW power in this part of the world. Scared chickens halt rocket test in Japan TOKYO - The moon is the goal of a $250 million space project Japan announced last week, but right no the biggest challenge to the nation's sp, agency might be 500 dead chickens. Last May, when the space agency was conducting safety tests involving its new rockets, a blast using '0 pounds of explosives startled. 500 chickens on the northern island of Hokkaido, apparently causing them jto stampede and crush themselves against a hen-house wall. After months of investigation, an apologetic National Space Development Agency told chick farmers and horse breeders it will nove the tests to another site. - Compiled from Daily wire reponts. 1 Globe Furniture Rental Instant Interiors Magic Carpets Solid Loft 'UM Surplus Courtyard Shops Decker Drugs John Leidy Shops Kerrytown Merchants Occassionally Gift Shop Pierpont Commons Pure Productions Stairway to Heaven Sports p6 Univ. p8 Univ. p10 Univ. p10 Univ. p10 Univ. p10 News p14 Univ. p10 Univ. p5 Comm. p4 Comm. p4 Comm. p6 Univ. p9 News p21 Ann A. p12 Ann A. p8 Sports p7 News p19 News p12 News p22 Sports p2 News p7 Ann A. p7 Comm. p5 David Brownell Violins Guitar Center Herb David Guitars Schoolkid's Records Tower Records Wazoo Records Wherehouse Arts p3 Comm. p8 Comm. p8 Ann A. p7 News p7 Ann A. p7 Comm. p3 Arts p7 Busch's K Mart Kroger Maize 'N Brew Village Corner White Market Ann Arbor Realty Heritage House Apartments Prime Student Housing Quality Inn U of M Housing Willowtree News p6 Univ. p10 Univ. p10 Univ. p5 News p14 Univ. p10 AATA Ann Arbor Paratransit Anne Taritas Chickering Group Clothesline Competitive Computer Services Conlin Travel Counseling & Psychological Services Council Travel Dollar Bill English Language Center Grade A Notes Great Lakes Bank Huron Valley Ambulance 1.
