2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 28, 1998 ANGELL Continued from Page 1 hours, for example. "I like the idea of moving to Angell Hall; Thompson said. "It's one way of making students' physically closer to the administration. Moving to Angell Hall will give a central position on where the administration is." Bollinger, unlike many past University presidents, said he has made a conscious effort to be more accessible to students and faculty members. He teaches an undergraduate class, has par- ticipated in MSA-sponsored informal chat sessions and visits with SACUA on a regular basis. But, Bollinger said, although he likes the idea of tapping into the pulse of daily campus life in his new loca- tion, it will not necessarily mean that students and faculty members can flow freely in and out of his office. "I would not make the claim that it would be a benefit to have us closer to the usual pathways of actuality and student interaction," Bollinger said, laughing. - Daily Staff Reporter Jennifer Yachnin contributed to this report. NATION/!WORLD Highway deaths hit a new all-time low WASHINGTON (AP) - The gov- ernment is crediting public safety cam- paigns with pushing the highway death rate to an all-time low last year. Traffic accidents killed 41,967 peo- ple in 1997. Since people drove nearly 2.6 billion miles, the death rate was 1.6 per 100 million miles traveled, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. Although the number of fatalities has been lower in some other years, the higher mileage held down the rate, the lowest since NHTSA started keeping statistics 30 years ago. Traffic accidents killed 42,085 peo- ple in 1996, for a rate of 1.7 deaths per 100 million miles. Ricardo Martinez, the agency's direc- tor, said yesterday the country is starting to see the results of a coordinated effort to crack down on drunken drivers and red-light runners, as well as the benefit of programs such as the institution of grad- uated driver's licenses. Much of the work has come in the form of human-interest advertising cam- paigns. AROUND THE NATION Starr sought to block pay subpoena LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Prosecutor Kenneth Starr asked the judge in the Paula Jones case to block a subpoena by President Clinton's lawyers served on the law firm where Starr's compensation has topped S1 million a year, docu- ments show. According to federal court documents released Monday, U.S. District Judg Susan Webber Wright said the subpoena last December should stand so Clint* could attempt to show any bias. Clinton was seeking possible links among Starr, Starr's colleagues and Jones. Starr's office did not immediately return phone calls yesterday. Wright dismissed Mrs. Jones' sexual harassment lawsuit April 1. Starr's intervention came at the same time he sought to limit the Clinton camp's access to Monica Lewinsky during Starr's probe of possible perjury and obstruc- tion of justice in the Jones case regarding Clinton's relationship with the former White House intern. Clinton and his lawyers sought any documents linking the Kirkland & Ellis law firm of Chicago with lawyers or witnesses from the Paula Jones case. The law firm objected to the subpoena, saying information sought was irrelev* or protected by attorney-client privilege.

Social Security important to women WASHINGTON -Wilma Haga, a 76-year-old widow, and Bernice Meyer, a home-care aide who will have no retirement check other than Social Security, asked President Clinton and Vice President Gore yesterday to keep the massive federal program sound and strong for future generations of benefi- ciaries. With $915 a month in Social Security benefits, "I can live very well, independently and ... without assistance from my sons," Haga, from Bristol, Tenn., told an audience in the East Room at the White House. The 49-year-old woman from Seattle makes $6.82 an hour and is beginning to worry about her retirement years. "I basically live paycheck to pay- check," she said. The two women joined Clinton and Gore for a panel discussion that highlighted the importance of Social Security to women, both for retirement and income protection. The other message of the day from the Clinton administration was a political one -- that any changes to assure Social Security's future sol- vency won't endanger the basic pro- tections offered now by the pr. gram. Marshals to guard abortion doctors AMHERST, NY. - When a sniper shot and killed Dr. Barnett Slepian four days ago at his home in this Buffalo sub- urb, operations halted in western New York's only remaining abortion clinic. But now, guarded by U.S. marshalst first of a dozen doctors who have vole teered to rotate in performing abortions in Slepian's place will resume the clinic's operations, defying Friday's murder and four previous sniper attacks on abortion providers in this region and across the border in Canada. The shooting of Slepian was the latest in a chain of strikingly similar shootings directed against abortion doctors.

MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE MASTER OF AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMIN ISTRATION MASTER OF COMPUTER SCIENCE MASTER OF CIVIL ENGINEERING MASTER OF ENGINEERING IN MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS MASTER OF SCIENCE EDUCATION MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS MASTER OF SCIENCE IN IN FORMATION SYSTEMS Milosevic dodges NATO strikes PRISTINA, Yugoslavia - President Slobodan Milosevic, a champion of the diplomatic bob and weave, has pulled back just in time to dodge another blow. As NATO's latest deadline closed in, the Yugoslav leader withdrew hundreds of police, soldiers and heavy weapons from the battlefields of separatist Kosovo province Monday. By going to the brink again only to step back, Milosevic has given NATO a way out of airstrikes that could easily create more problems than they might solve in the Serbian province. "We're sure that major progress has been made today," a Western diplomat said Monday, reflecting the suddenly brighter mood among diplomatic observers. "It's definitely much more change than we've seen any other single day before this;' added the diplomat, who spoke on condition he not be named. Monday's withdrawals included at least one army regiment of 600 sol- diers, and more than 1,000 paramilitary police from one of central Kosovo's most dangerous areas, diplomats esti- mated. Serbian police also pulled down checkpoints and set fire to at le one as they withdrew, angry at w they saw as a retreat that will only hand territory back to separatist guer- rillas. Hurricane Mitch roars off Honduran coast LA CEIBA, Honduras - Hurricane Mitch cut through the west* Caribbean yesterday, pummeling coastal Honduras and Belize with dri- ving rain and fierce winds that snapped trees and sent thousands of people flee- ing for higher ground. Two storm-relat- ed deaths were reported. Honduran President Cars Flores Facusse declared the highest state of alert and sent in troops to evacuate thou- sands of people from the sparsely popu- lated coast. Thousands more made their way to safer ground on their own. - Compiledfrom Daily wire reports. The U-M Gilbert & Sullivan Society present: ' IfkinvCO L N v e..:, 4 ,.y,.. . ..
