Netayahuproposal mayiv not be enough

WASHINGTON (AP) - Buoyed by
stirring support from evangelical
Christians, Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu began what could
be a difficult visit here Monday with a
demand that Palestinians cancel their
call for Israel's destruction.
By all accounts, Netanyahu is bring-
ing to President Clinton a proposal for a
modest pullback on the West Bank, one
that may fall short of the administration's
expectations and certainly of Palestinian
leader Yassar Arafat's dreams.

But Clinton said he had "high
hopes" of reviving the Mideast peace
process in separate talks this week with
the Israeli and Palestinian leaders. He
assured Israel of his support and said
the Palestinians, not just Israel, had to
make concessions to breathe life into
Mideast peacemaking.
Netanyahu, speaking hoarsely but
sounding a rousing theme, told a wildly
enthusiastic Christian group that "there
is no peace with weakness."
The Rev. Jerry Falwell keynoted the

reception in a crowded hotel ballroom
by declaring: "Israel loves America,
and that's why I support Israel. I love
democracy, and Israel is the only true
democracy in the Middle East."
Falwell, who also met separately with
Netanyahu, said: "I accept the con-
venant of Abraham and I believe God
blesses those who bless Israel."
E. Brandt Gustavson, president of the
National Religious Broadcasters, sound-
ed a similar theme. He assured
Netanyahu that Christians "stand with

the prime minister for an undivided

In his own speech, Netanyahu
offered assurances he intends to pre-
serve what has been achieved in Arab-
Israeli peacemaking until now. But he
said Israel needed the Palestinians'
compliance with pledges they have
made, beginning with a promise to nul-
lify a provision in the covenant of the
Palestine Liberation Organization that
calls for the destruction of Israel as a
Jewish state.

"Right now, we have a mock evalua-
tion form for both fraternities and
sororities," Gray said. "it talks about
procedures at social functions, themes,
attendance, DJ, what procedures
worked well and what problems
occurred."
The evaluations will be read by a
committee of fraternity and sorority
presidents, as well as other members
who want to participate, Gray said.
"This evaluation committee will dis-
cuss changes that need to be made to
the policy," Gray said. "A lot needs to
be worked out over the next three
months."

Precautions exist at the University
to ensure that students are not sent
to countries that are considered
unsafe.
"if we think an area is unsafe,
we'll cancel the program." said
Carol Dickerman, director of the
Office of International Programs.
"We can't have students exposed to
that kind of risk."
But it is not always possible to
predict the safety of a given loca-
tion. "You can't always guarantee
safety everywhere in the world,"
Nolting said, adding that there are
"certain destinations which are
clearly dangerous." For example,
terrorists in Algeria have specifical-
ly targeted tourists.
In 1997, the U.S. State Department
issued an advisory, which is still in
effect, about traveling to Guatemala.
Advisories are issued to warn citizens
about countries that may be potentially
dangerous for safety and health rea-
sons.
The University takes many safety
precautions in its study abroad pro-
grams, including checking the specific
locations and student housing before-
hand.
"We talk to students both before
they go and when they're there to
take precautions," Dickerman said.
"We take both general and specific
precautions when preparing stu-
dents to go."
Many students said they feel safe
when traveling and studying
abroad.
LSA senior Lori Cloutier, who trav-
eled to Czechoslovakia last semester,
said that it was "a very safe place to
be.
"They let us know about the dangers
beforehand," Cloutier said.
Several students reported that
petty thefts and pickpocketing were
the worst crimes of which they were
aware while aboard. "Things like
(the rapes) could happen here or
anywhere in the world," Cloutier
said.
The International Center provides
students with a handout that lists
safety tips for women when travel-
ing abroad.

Unabomber suspect
found competent
SACRAMENTO - Both sides in the
Unabomber trial agreed that Theodore
Kaczynski is competent to stand trial -
the basic requirement for acting as his
own lawyer - but the judge suggested
that his request to represent himself
came too late.
U.S. District Judge Garland Burrell,
Jr. said Kaczynski had clearly agreed to
proceed with his lawyers after a series of
meetings with the judge in December.
Later, Kaczynski changed his mind.
Burrell suggested that if Kaczynski
wanted to be his own lawyer, he should
have made the motion when the trial
began.
"We're not in a pretrial hearing," the
judge said. "We're in trial. This case
commenced on Nov. 12, 1997."
The continuing dispute between
Kaczynski and his lawyers centers on
their desire to mount a defense based on
his mental state. Kaczynski is adamant-
ly opposed and wants to base his
defense on his anti-technology views.

Government prosecutor Rober
Cleary suggested that changes could be
made up until the time that a jury is seat
ed but he conceded that case law on the
subject isn't clear. Cleary noted that the
jury, chosen Dec. 22, has not yet beer
sworn.
Internet access to

NEW YORK - Some of the bigges
players in the computer and telephone
industries are teaming -up to offe
Internet access so blindingly ,fast tha
clicking through Web pages could be a
easy as flipping through a book.
Some of the phone companies hope c
offer the service, which would work%
ordinary telephone lines, early this year.
Computer users would have to"ge
new modems but not new PCs.
Microsoft Corp., Compaq Compute
and Intel Corp., along with the nation'
five regional telephone companies, an
developing a single national standard fo
the service, which is known as asymmet
rical digital subscriber line, or ADSL.

GOP plans to turn tax talk into action
WASH INGTON - The H ouse's top tax writer proposed federal reductions yes-
terday estimated at $200 billion over the next decade - and urged Congress to seal
them with a lid on the national tax burden. On the Democratic side, Dick Gephardt
revived his plan for most people to pay a 10 percent rate.
The initiatives by Minority Leader Gephardt and House Ways and Means Chair
Bill Archer (R-Texas) surfaced a week before Congress returns to work and tries
to turn tax talk into action.
A centerpiece for Archer's agenda is a proposal to reduce the combine
federal tax burden on individuals and businesses from 19.9 percent of the
gross domestic product to 19 percent of the GDP - which Archer estimates
would cost $200 billion over 10 years. Individual income taxes currently
total 9.2 percent of the GDP, corporate taxes 2.4 percent and payroll taxes
for Social Security and Medicare 6.8 percent. Other federal revenues coin
prise 1.5 percent.
"The reason families are struggling today is because the government is taking
their money before they have a chance to invest it in themselves, their children an
their communities," Archer said in a speech.
Armed with forecasts of a $660 billion budget surplus in the next decade, Arc
also proposed paying down the national debt by $200 billion over 10 years.

Cuban Catholics
await Papal visit
HAVANA - On the eve of John Paul
II's first visit ever to Cuba, the commu-
nist government was still laboring to
patch and pretty up sections of the crum-
bling capital, which has been ravaged by
a collapsed national economy.
While most Cubans agree the pope's
five-day visit will leave their country
changed, expectations of what the
change will be depends on their politi-
cal and religious perspective.
Foes of Fidel Castro hope it will weak-
en his regime. Castro hopes to gain
stature for his revolution. And the Cuban
church hopes for more freedom of action.
A nationwide prayer vigil was
planned in churches throughout the
country last night.
While Castro sought to burnish
his -government's image and the
pope hoped for a spiritual awaken-
ing in Cuba, it was unclear which of
the two men has a tougher task of
evangelization.
"Missions are more difficult here
than in Africa or India. We have to start

from scratch. We have to explain evbry

Spanish priest who spends two month
a year at Medalla Milagrosa Chdrch
"You can't easily wipe out 40 years o

Clinton was asked what the Unite
States was gaining by pressing- th
embargo against Cuba.
