2A - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, January 15, 1998 NATION/WORLD WRESTLING Continued from Page 1A for everybody. This is good for our sport and now college wrestling will be around for many more decades to come. " Campbell University Athletic Director Tom Collins commended the NCAA's "sound" action, adding that the association's reactions have mirrored decisions at Campbell. "I think weigh-in is a good goal change and also the clear elimination of the rubberized suits and the not boxes," Collins said. Echoing Goss' confidence that the NCAA is moving in the right direc- tion, Collins said he trusts the people who are reshaping the way in which collegiate wrestlers train because they are experts in their respective fields. "They're people who want the sport of wrestling to be successful," he said. The NCAA Wrestling Committees plan to make further guidelines at their annual meeting April 6-10 in Kansas City. Members of the com- mittees intend to examine weight- loss behavior. The Food and Drug Administration and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention are expected to give their input to the NCAA's Wrestling Committee and the Competitive- Safeguards Committee before April. Mike Moyer, who chairs the NCAA's Wrestling Rules Committee, said the committee anticipates more long-term changes after the wrestling season is finished. "The committee recognizes that no rules guarantee the safety of partici- pants, but believes these measures will promote safety in our sport," Moyer said in a written statement. "Therefore, the committee urges compliance with both the letter and the intent of all of these changes. "Nothing is more important than the safety of our competitors," he said. The long-term changes "ideally will allow wrestlers to focus on com- petition rather than making weight and also maintain competitive equal- ity within the weight classes," Moyer said. M ROUlN D TH [E ATN Visa scam brought foreign nurses to U.S WASH INGTON - A fter a three-year investigation, a federal task force has bro- ken up a major visa fraud conspiracy that brought hundreds of foreign nurses into the United States, mostly from the Philippines, and put them to work for substan- dard wages at nursing homes in Texas and around the country, authorities said yes- terday. Officials of the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service, which led the interagency task force, said the probe was the largest visa fraud investigation ever conducted in the United States; It led to guilty pleas in federal court in Lubbock, Texas, by five defen- dants yesterday, including the man at the center of the ring, Billy Denver Jewell, the owner of a chain of 22 nursing homes in Texas and Oklahoma. The four others, who helped recruit the foreign nurses, included immigrants from the Philippines and South Korea. All pleaded guilty to various federal charges related to visa fraud and alien smuggling, U.S. Attorney Paul Coggins said. The investigation is continuing and may eventually lead to dozens of otl indictments, federal agents said. They said they identified more than 2,000 felot counts against Jewell, but decided to press only three in return for his help in net- I W" A Drum Major for Justice You are invited to attend The Unversity of Michigan Business School's Tenth Observance of Martin Luther King Day Monday January 19, 1998 1:30 pm Hale Auditorium Assembly Hall Tappan and Hill Street Ann Arbor, Michigan Clarence Page Columnist, Editorial Boardmember, Chicago Tribune will present: "A Drum Major for Justice" Followed oy Audience Participation and Reception Join us in this celebration and share in this learning opportunity Martin Luther January 19, 1998 ting others involved in widespread scams illegally and often exploited. Court hears case on lobbying groups WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court heard arguments yesterday on whether lobbying groups that con- tribute to political campaigns must comply with federal rules requiring them to disclose how their money is collected and spent. But the justices appeared preoccu- pied by threshold legal problems and suggested they are unlikely to use the case involving the American Israel Public Affairs Committee to decide whether groups that mostly lobby elect- ed officials but also give to candidates must comply with disclosure rules. If the court were to rule on the mer- its of the case, it could bring new scrutiny to organizations that mostly lobby but also spend some portion of their time trying to influence elections through contributions. The justices focused most of their queries on whether the people who sued the Federal Election Commission about in which foreign nurses were recruited its definition of "political committees" had legal standing. They also questioned whether key FEC policies are sufficient- ly in flux that a ruling on the particulars of this case would be untimely. Lawmakers unite on managed health care WASH I NGTON - After some frac- tious fights, President Clinton and con- gressional Democrats staged a show of unity yesterday for a proposed patient "bill of rights" to guard against abuses in managed-care health plans. "We have to make this change becal of the changes in the American health care market," Clinton said. About 100 million Americans have been enrolled in cost-saving managed care programs, patient complaints have been rising. Clinton said he was encouraged that many Republicans support such an approach, and Vice President Al Gore said opponents are "going to be sur- prised at how many Republicans cot over and join our side in this battle:. - - -------- ------H E WR L D '.. 7 /, YI--- SALOMON SMITH BARNEY A Member of TaversGroup May/June 1998 Graduates Indonesian president monopolizes country JAKARTA, Indonesia - Indonesia's embattled President Suharto, seeking in one grand stroke to restore confidence in his nation's battered economy, is set to announce a reform package today morning that includes reducing official favoritism for companies controlled by his wealthy children, according to govern- ment officials familiar with the plan. Final details of the package were still being hashed out in the early hours of today morning between the Indonesian authorities and a team from the International Monetary Fund led by its managing director, Michel Camdessus. The package is designed to accomplish what a $43 billion bailout launched in November for Indonesia couldn't -stem a mas- sive flight of capital from the world's fourth-most-populous country that has marked one of the gravest turns in Asia's financial crisis. The plan has been eagerly anticipat- ed this week in financial markets as a potentially crucial turning point in the crisis, and the mere fact that it was imminent helped fuel a powerful ra v in Asian currencies and stock pri yesterday. Indonesia's currency, the rupiah, which was in free fall last week, soared 10 percent against the U.S. dollar, and Jakarta's benchmark stock index rose 6 percent.
