However, hanging over the maneu- vering here was the knowledge that some council members - including France, Russia and China, each with the power to veto any decision - are still on record as opposing the kind of air and missile strikes that the United States has employed in past confronta- tions with Iraq.

Budge Mabry, director of the UT system's Medical and Dental Centers, said the decrease was insignificant because it corresponds to the school's 6-percent decrease in the total number of medical school applicants. "It's certainly a surprise to us," Mabry said. "We just thought the bottom would drop out on us." Nickens, however, said areas with affirmative action regulations, such as California and Texas, are severely restricted from establishing programs that would increase minority enrollment. "They are limited," Nickens said. "Even their recruitment policies are scrutinized." Diversity is an important factor in medic Nickens said, because it prepares students situations in a diverse society.

AROUND THE NATI Clinton still pushing trade legislation WASHINGTON - Unable to bend Congress on trade, President Clinton has limited maneuvering room as he prepares for a meeting with some of America's most important trading partners just two weeks from now. The president is depicting his withdrawal of the fast-track trade legislation as a temporary setback. But behind the scenes, administration officials and free-trade supporters in Congress have begun exploring fallback positio- for a more narrowly focused trade bill next year. The Senate Finance Committee chair, Sen. William Roth (R-Del.), said he would introduce a fast-track proposal focusing on specific sectors in which America has huge competitive advantages - such as agriculture and infor- mation technology - as an alternative to the sweeping negotiating powers that Clinton was unable to get this week. But some trade experts see dangers in this stripped-down approach. "Clinton has got to keep doing what he has started doing, making it absolutely clear that he is going to pull out all of the stops next year," said C. Fred Bergsten, director of the Institute for International Economics in Washington. "He has to leave no doubts about that or otherwise there could be severe repercussions to the cause of free trade."
