Budget negotiated
WASHINGTON (AP) - President
Clinton called for a budget "that is wor-
thy of our children" yesterday, as White
House and congressional bargainers
sought a truce for their spending battle
that would let lawmakers go home to
campaign for re-election.
Budget negotiators met yet again at
the Capitol to sort through scores of dis-
putes over money and policy, even as top
;Republicans went on television trying to
define the fight. They sought to portray a
president who has been distracted by
scandal and by repeated fund-raising
trips, and who has rejected GOP propos-
als for tax breaks and vouchers aimed at
students.
"Now, all of a sudden, he shows up.
Where has he been all year?" asked
House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-
Texas), on ABC's "This Week with Sam
Donaldson and Cokie Roberts."

accompanied a nursing home to the

At another nursing home, partici-
pants set up a bingo game for
patients.
"Service is a way of all of us to
connect with others; to break down
the differences; to see how alike we
all really are," said Diag speaker
David Waterhouse, co-director of
Project SERVE.
The Ghandi Day of Service start-
ed last year - 50 years after
Ghandi's assassination in New
Delhi, India. During last year's cer-
emony, participants dedicated a
plaque placed next to a newly plant-
ed tree on the Diag outside the
Shapiro Undergraduate.
This year's theme was based
around a Ghandi quotation: "Our
ability to reach unity and diversity
will be the beauty and test of our
civilization."
"I think this quote is very fit-
ting," said LSA senior Sonia
Mathew, volunteer coordinator.
Next year, the event will have a
more national scope. Between 20
and 50 colleges and universities are
expected to hold similar service
projects the same weekend, said
LSA sophomore Vikram Sarma, the
national coordinator of the National
Ghandi Day of Service.
"By bringing schools together on
the same weekend, we hope to get
students to start thinking about
issues globally while engaging
locally in service," Sarma said.
"They are using what we have
done (at the University) as a
model," Mathew said.
Schools planning to participate
next October include Harvard
University, Stanford University,
University of North Carolina,
University of California at
Berkeley, University of Oregon and
all of the Big Ten schools, Sarma
said.

Gay college student injured in attack
LARAMIE, Wyo. -- A gay college student was clinging to life yesterday as res
idents - gay and straight - condemned his brutal beating but defended Wyoming
as a safe, fair-minded place to live.
Matthew Shepard, who was found savagely pistol-whipped and tied to a fencs
outside town last week, left Wyoming as a teen, finishing high school it
Switzerland. He overcame worries about coming back to attend the Univrsit*
Wyoming here, but friends said he was happy with his initial experiences.
"He had a lot of the same fears other people have coming into a small commu-
nity," said Walt Boulden, a graduate student. "When he left Wyoming he had just
started dealing with being gay. So he was very concerned about the attitudes when
he first came back.
"But he really felt at home and comfortable here. He felt this was the place to be
right now."
Shepard was unconscious yesterday at a Fort Collins, Colo., hospital, where h
was listed in critical condition with severe head injuries. Hospital officials said his
condition had deteriorated since the midweek beating. About 500 people attended
a candlelight vigil Saturday night.
A close friend, Alex Trout, was surprised Shepard was targeted for attack bece
of his sexual preference, as police believe. Trout said his own homosexuality has
never caused a problem in his four years in Laramie, a Western-tinged college town
with a population of 27,000.

dents and students of color."
Reilly said having such a depart-
ment would facilitate a more thor-
ough exploration of history than
what is available to students at this
time.
"The perspective you get most,
and the perspective you get at the
University, leaves out Native peo-
ples," Reilly said. "In order to get
our side heard, we need Native pro-
fessors and new focuses of study,
instead of the Eurocentric one."
Steve Parsons, an undergraduate
admissions counselor who recruits
Native American students, said
attending college is a challenge for
students who have a strong cultural
background.
"Going to college doesn't mean
that you have to change that,"
Parsons said.
Parsons said attending the
University and gaining exposure to
a new Native American culture
could instead be a catalyst for
involvement.
"Students (who were) not
exposed to Native American culture
or tradition come to campus, get
involved in groups and become
more familiar with the culture,"
Parsons said. "It's a rebirth and dis-
covery. It's great."
Students are working to give
Native Americans more support and
education on campus by forming a
Native American Resource Center.
Native Americans students also
are concerned with receiving more
respect from University groups on
campus.
In the past, the exclusive senior
men's honor society Michigauma
used traditional Native American
dress as part of their initiation
process, said Andrew Adams, an
assistant in the Office of Academic
and Multi-Cultural Initiatives.
Although the dress is no longer
part of the initiation ritual, Adams
said, the group's use of a Native
American name is offensive to
some students.
"Something needs to be done,"
Adams said. "They are adopting
organization in tribal form and they
use our name and certain motif.
"If they were trying to imitate
blacks, Asians or Jews, I don't
believe that would be tolerated,"
Adams said
Although Native American stu-
dents are working to change the
University, Martin said she is
encouraged by some changes the
University has made.
"A lot of ground work has been
covered, but there needs to be more
education and more sensitivity to
Native American issues," Martin
said.
Most recently the University
removed a totem pole near the
University's ropes course that was
donated to Michigauma by a former
member.
"It's long over-due," Reilly said.
"It's good it's gone. It was not
representative. It is supposed to be
significant to native culture," Reilly
added.
Students also are pleased that
Native Americans can now take
Ojibiwa courses to fulfill their lan-
guage requirement.
"A lot of colleges don't even offer
native languages - especially to
fill a language requirement,"
Adams said.

Stadium fate could
help Democrats win
NEW YORK - With Election Day
less than a month away, insiders say the
hotly debated fate of Yankees baseball in
the Bronx could help Sen. Alfonse
D'Amato's Democratic challenger to
knock the incumbent out of the box.
A plan championed by Mayor
Rudolph Giuliani and team owner
George Steinbrenner to move the
Bronx Bombers out of the House That
Ruth Built and into a new $1 billion
stadium in Manhattan has so inflamed
passions that a proposed referendum on
the matter is expected to increase voter
turnout so much it could hurt
D' Amato.
"If it's on (the ballot), it's got to help
Democrats," said Maurice Carroll,
head of the Quinnipiac College Polling
Institute, in Hamden, Conn. "A: It's a
city issue, ... and B: it's a Bronx issue,
and the Bronx is loaded with
Democrats.
"To the extent that anybody comes
out and says 'I'm going to vote to keep
the Yankees in the Bronx,' ... you've got
to assume that more of them than oth-
erwise would say, 'As long as I'm here

dies of cardiac arre

Denning, a character actor in film
and television perhaps best known

Jewish-born nun
turns Catholic saint
VATICAN CITY - Pope John
Paul II bestowed sainthood yester-
day on Edith Stein, a Jewish-born
Catholic nun executed by the Nazis
in 1942, and said the Roman
Catholic Church will use her feast
day each year to commemorate the
Holocaust.
Speaking at a canonization Mass
in St. Peter's Square, the pope paid
tribute to "the millions of Jewish
brothers and sisters" slaughtered by
the Nazis and pleaded that there will
be no recurrence of such a "brutal
plan to wipe out a people."
"For the love of God and man, I
once again raise my voice in a heart-
felt cry: Never again may such a
criminal act be repeated against any
ethnic group, any people, any race,
in any corner of the Earth," John
Paul said, drawing applause from a
crowd of thousands.
"It is a cry I send out to all men
and women of goodwill and all who
believe in the eternal and just God,"
he added in a strong voice. "We
should all be together on this.
Human dignity is at stake."
Crisis cuts Russia's
television programs
MOSCOW - It's bad enough that
the economic crisis here has deprived
many Russians of their jobs, as well as
the occasional night out to forget their
troubles. Now, even playing couch
potato is about to become drudge
Television networks are cutting b0
on programming to make ends meet
as advertising revenue shrinks.
Usually, this is the season when the
networks launch new shows, but this
year's offerings have been drastically
reduced. Reruns are in, and foreign soap
operas are being replaced by replays of
political talk shows, of all things.
A talk show on wheels, Taxi TV-6,
in which the hosts picked up passen-
gers on the street and intervie n
them about life and love, is being d
