2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, October 12, 1998 NATION/WORLD 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." GHANDI Continued from Page lA material and makes them into warm clothing for the homeless. Others accompanied a nursing home to the Detroit Zoo. 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. AROUND THE NATION 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.

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. I-, WLo A.de $205 S 1297 04 $944 Fares are RT. Do not include taxes.

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 'Hawaii Five-O' star dies of cardiac arre ESCONDIDO, Calif. - Richard Denning, a character actor in film and television perhaps best known for playing the governor in the TV series "Hawaii Five-O," died yester- day at age 85.

AROUND THE WORLD w * I 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 celed. - Compiled fom Daily wire reports.
