2A The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 2, 1997 NATION/WORLD Reno advised to pursue probe of fund-raising The Washington Post WASHINGTON -- Attorney Qenoral Janet Reno is considering legal advice that she must move forward to the next stage of an inquiry that could lead to the appointment of an indepen- dent counsel to investigate telephone fund-raising solicitations by President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore because too many questions remain unanswered, officials said yesterday. Reno has until tomorrow to report to a special panel of federal appeals court judgevon the results of a 30-day review iof, Gore's fund-raising activities. The deadline for deciding on a similar review of phone calls by Clinton is Oct. 159 Aides to Reno said yesterday that she had not made a final decision but was questioning Justice Department offi- ci4ls about the facts of the situation, their legal analysis and her options. Under procedures strictly defined by the Independent Counsel Act, the only factor Reno can consider during the review is whether specific information from a credible source indicates that the president, vice president or other high official covered by the law may have committed a crime. If she finds such information, Reno is obliged to open a preliminary investigation to determine whether she should seek an indepen- dent counsel and tell the judges of her decision. Members of the Justice Department task force investigating reports of cam- paign finance wrongdoing and other senior members of the department have advised Reno that if there is any uncer- tainty about the information and how the law applies to it, the independent counsel statute requires her to proceed with a preliminary investigation. The chief prosecutor on the task force, Charles LaBella, has met with Reno several times this week, officials said, but it was not known what, if any, recommendation he had made to her. White House officials were resigned to the opening of a preliminary investi- gation and tried to cast such a develop- ment in a positive light. "It would not be unreasonable if the attorney general wanted to take some additional time to review what the law is," said White House press secretary Michael McCurry. "There are some advantages to ... a three-month review period because you can begin to look at the law and people can present facts so we could dispose of these matters." Administration officials said yester- day that Gore's newly hired private attorneys and his White House lawyers have been in regular contact with Justice Department officials in recent days to begin presenting their views of the facts and the applicable laws. Gore has acknowledged making at least 46 fund-raising phone calls from his White House office. Reno ordered the 30-day review of the solicitations on Sept. 3 because Democratic National Committee documents showed that some of the money went into strictly regulated "hard money" campaign accounts. As a result the calls may have violated a prohibition against fund-rais- ing on federal property. 1 17", , I T" PLAN Continued from Page 1A "The idea of how you bring campuses together, create unity, is certainly worth looking at" Maynard said. "Now that we're through sonie of the major build- ing ... we need to see how the pieces work together." Prof. Robert Beckley, dean emeritus of the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, is heading a University com- mittee that will work with the architec- ture firm. Beckely said the master plan also will focus on the symbiotic relationship between the campus and the city of Ann Arbor. "The big question right now is how the University and the city of Ann Arbor will continue to maintain the identity of a university in a small town," Beckley said. Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates, 'founded by Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, has been in practice for 33 years. The internationally renowned firm is currently constructing a student center at Princeton University, laboratory build- ings at the University of Pennsylvania and a campus plan and library at Dartmouth College. Bollinger first became familiar with the firm when he served as Dartmouth's provost. The firm has been honored with more than 120 awards, including the American Institute of Architects highest corporate honor in 1985 and the National Medal of Arts. Though there are not yet any specific proposals for what the master plan will entail, Trowbridge said projects of this size usually take between a year and a year and a half to complete. "We're very enthusiastic about this project and are looking forward to get going," Trowbridge said. - DailyvStaff Reporter JanetAdam contributed to this report. MSU Continued from Page 1A joining forces in Washington in an attempt to strengthen the federal gov- ernment's commitment to student financial aid and reasonable tuition costs. Harrison said there is a higher edu- cation bill up for re-authorization in Congress in the near future that would reassess student financial aid policies. Both schools are keeping a close eye on this subject, he said. Harrison said the Wolverines and the Spartans don't carry rivalries off the ath- letic field. "(Many have the) mistaken impression that because they are athletic rivals they are rivals in other things" Harrison said. Overall, students in Ann Arbor seem to be pretty open to the idea of joining hands with the green and white. LSA first-year student Chris Leland said the schools should "share the ideas between the two universities and try to compensate for what is lacking. It's worthless to try to show each other up. In the end it's better for all students" Other students thought the University could learn things outside of the classroom from the Spartans. "We take for granted how many resources we have - clubs, organiza- tions and sports,"said LSA senior Todd Clobes. "We need to tap what we have here. Michigan State makes better use of its resources. LSA junior Trent Thompson said he thought that the University could give a little back to MSU by helping them out "academically" Despite the all out war on the grid- iron at East Lansing scheduled for Oct. 25, it seems that Michigan and Michigan State will may be able to be friends the other 364 days a year. RALLY Continued from Page 1A Richard Flanagan last year to discuss the unionization issue. He said Flanagan is afraid of unionizing Borders because it will disrupt the cor- poration's culture. The primary demand of the Borders employees is higher pay. "The biggest reason people have (to form a union) is because they can't afford to work there," said Jason Chappell, a book- seller from a Borders outlet in New York City, one of four stores where. employees are unionized. Chappell said the startingwage at the_ Borders where he works was less than half of what the New York state govern- ment calculates for a livable wage. Borders spokesperson Jody Kohn said unionization is not necessary because Borders already treats employees well. "We don't believe that a third party is needed or wanted," Kohn said, adding that the Borders corporation has been very generous with its employees in the past. Bookseller Elena Rosen, who works at the local Borders, said she was unhappy that Moore came. Joining a union is a serious decision, she said. "It's important to look at all the issues. and not to look at it in a farcical Paula Jones hires new legal tem SAN MARINO, Calif. - A small Dallas law firm with expertise in litiga- tion and ties to a conservative advoca- cy group has taken on Paula Jones' law- suit against President Clinton, Jones and her spokesperson/adviser, Susan Carpenter-McMillan, announced yes- terday. "I have all the faith in the world they will get me a jury trial - which is what I've been looking for- ward to," said Jones, standing next to Carpenter-McMillan on the patio of her adviser's Los Angeles area home. Jones, a former Arkansas state employee, alleges that Clinton made a crude sexual advance to her in a Little Rock, Ark., hotel room in 1991. Jones now lives in Long Beach. None of the six members of the law firm of Rader, Campbell, Fisher & Pyke were present at their new client's media conference. But, in a phone interview, attorney Donovan Campbell promised to aggressively pursue the lawsuit and meet the trial date set for May next year. "We have been' engaged to win this case, and that's what we will try to do," said Campbell. "I have no instructions regarding a settlo ment." Teamsters president recalled by Jury NEW YORK - Teamsters President Ron Carey testified yester- day before a federal grand jury inves- tigating his 1996 re-election run, then denied allegations that a former ai had told him about an illegal schetm to divert union money to his cam- pai gn. Carey spent nearly three hours behind the grand jury's closed doors' He declined to discuss his testimony when he left, but his lawyer, Reid Weingarten, said Carey was "absolute- ly not" a target of the investigation. "We're cooperating fully," Weingarten added. AROUND THE NATIQN Congress Clears the way for $3K raise WASHINGTON - Capping weeks of intense maneuvering, Congress approved legislation yesterday that clears the way for a $3,000 cost of living increase in law- makers' S133,600 pay. The 55-45 Senate vote was the latest in a series of close calls for the bill, which leaders in both houses and both parties nursed toward passage over many weep without permitting a direct roll call vote on a pay increase. Even so, the political anxiety was evident in the Senate, where 19 of the 30 law- makers seeking re-election next year voted against the bill, and only l1 voted in favor. "We shouldn't be receiving a (cost-of-living adjustment) during that period of tine" when lawmakers are asking others to sacrifice, said Sen. Sam Brownback, (R-Kan.). Brownbeck, who faces the voters in 13 months, was one of a small number of senators to speak out against the increase. "I cannot support the COLA at this point in time." While partisan tensions inevitably surfaced, the issue exposed generational splits within the two houses. In the Senate, the younger, reform-minded Republica were vocal in their opposition, while the older lawmakers of both parties provide the bulk of the support needed for passage.

U.N. s observers out o Congo UNITED NATIONS-Secretary General Kofi Annan yesterday recalled three leaders of a U.N. human rights team from Congo for consultations while he tries to determine whether Congo President Laurent Kabila intends to evict the team before it can investigate alleged massacres of refugees. The 23-member team has been marking time in Kinshasa for almost six weeks because Kabila's govern- ment has refused to give them access to suspected massacre sites. Monday, when Kabila was in Lusaka, Zambia, news agencies quoted him as saying he intended to ask Annan to withdraw the team because its members were mislead- ing the international community by "issuing statements from posh hotels in Kinshasa." Fred Eckhard, the chief U.N. spokesperson, announced Annan decided to call the team leaders to New York for discussions and to inform Congolese Foreign Minister Bizirm Karaha, who is here for the General Assembly meeting, that he wants thi situation clarified. Yet, even as EckhaV was making the announcemen Karaha, in a speech to the assembly, added to the confusion.
