2 - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 27, 1999NATIONXORLE Colombian earthquake death toll tops 1,000 ARMENIA, Colombia (AP)-The death toll from the worst earthquake to hit Colombia in more than a century surpassed 1,000 yesterday as survivors anx- iously awaited relief supplies and prayed for signs of life under the rubble. Those hopes were dashed again and again. Monday's 6-magnitude earthquake devastated cities and villages across western Colombia, a vast Andean terrain where much of the world's coffee is grown. The temblor shook buildings as far away as the capital, Bogota, 140 miles from the epicenter. Two small aftershocks hit Armenia yesterday after- noon, causing little damage but sending panicked res- idents running into the rubble-littered streets. There have been about 15 aftershocks. With hundreds of people believed still buried beneath the rubble, mayhem reigned yesterday in the streets of Armenia, a city of 300,000. Rescue teams had recovered about 650 bodies in the country yesterday, and estimated that at least 2,700 were injured - but warned this was only a partial accounting. Capt. Ciro Antonio Guiza, Armenia's deputy fire chief, said rescue workers were so strapped that many bodies remained on the streets uncollected. "There are more than 1,000 dead, perhaps more than 2,000 in Armenia alone," he said. othe Two-thirds of the city's buildings were rendered play uninhabitable. People wandered about desperately A looking for relatives. There was no electricity or run- food ning water in most of the city, and food was in dan- and1 gerously short supply. An estimated 180,000 people C were left homeless in Armenia alone. bloo Coffins have become a coveted commodity. recei "I've been looking for five coffins for relatives been since 8 o'clock this morning and I couldn't find any, $1.1 so we're going to have to bury them in plastic," said W Diego Ruiz, who lost his grandmother, a sister and hun( three nieces.

"It will be up to everyone to work together." An issue of importance to Democrats is a possible increase in the minimum wage, Brater said. "We need to be making sure people have the opportunity to work in the state of Michigan," she said. Another factor distinguishing this term from others is the presence of 41 new Republicans seated on the House floor. Perricone said he is optimistic about the role new members will play this term. "You're going to see some new ideas introduced," he said. Jansen said he is pleased with how quickly new representatives have been integrated into the process, but senior members should take care in how they teach the freshmen. "You can't say, 'this is the way we used to do it'," Jansen said. "You really have to be creative." Jansen said mentoring is a key way to bring new members up to speed. Another issue of concern for some representatives - although they take no part in the proceedings - is the impeachment trial of President Clinton. Jansen said he can sense the frustration of those in his district. "Nine out of 10 people are just dis- gusted with what's going on in Washington," he said. "The whole per- jury thing makes people really upset." Perricone said the trial does not con- tribute positively to the state and feder- al governments. "All that it does is bring down the perception of those who have chosen public service," he said. "It's not good for any of us" WRITE FOR THE DAILY. - CALL 76-AILY OR STOP BY 420 MAYNARD ST. Court reinstates Hubble indictment WASHINGTON - Webster Hubbell's legal troubles deepened yes- terday when a federal appeals court reinstated tax-evasion charges brought by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr against the former Justice Department official and longtime friend of President Clinton. But, the court said Hubbell's consti- tutional protection against self-incrimi- nation may have been violated when Starr forced him to turn over tax-relat- ed records, and the judges asked a lower court to look further into that question. In a pair of 2-1 rulings, the panel of appellate judges reversed a decision last summer by U.S. District Judge James Robertson, who threw out the April 1998 tax-fraud indictment of Hubbell, his wife Suzanna, his accoun- tant and his tax lawyer. Meeting reporters outside his subur- ban Maryland home yesterday, Hubbell said he was disappointed, but he added, "We hope this matter will come to an end real soon." Hubbell, who has accused Starr of prosecuting him in hopes of getting tes- timony against the president, said he had no intention of implicating anyone else Medicare panel considers proposal WASHINGTON - The highly charged politics of the government's influential Medicare reform commission were laid bare yesterday when commis- sioners grappled with a proposal to limit the federal role in financing the health- care system for the elderly and the djo abled. While agreeing with the need to cap government's contribution to the $214 billion-a-year program, the 17-member commission found itself at odds on two contentious questions: the scope of the benefits that the elderly would be enti- tled to under a new system and wheiher coverage of prescription drugs would be offered by all health plans - including the traditional Medicare program. AROUND THE NATION Clinton, Pope avoid sensitive issues ST. LOUIS - President Clinton welcomed a frail Pope John Paul II with a steadying hand yesterday and said he hoped he would find, in his seventh pilgrimage on U.S. soil, "an America working harder to be what you have asked us to be." Clinton, a Southern Baptist, addressed the Catholic spiritual leader as Holy Father and tried out a blessing of his own - in the pope's native Polish: "May you live a hundred years and more!" The pope, 78, gave a playful smile and a weary chuckle. "One hundred years? Slowly, slow." He delivered a plea for Americans to "open wide your hearts" Clinton to the world's less fortunate. At the welcoming ceremony staged in a suffocatingly overheated airport hangar, president and pontiff alike avoided simmering disputes - over U.S. airstrikes against Iraq, the embargo of Cuba, abortion and capital punishment --- that thrcat- ened to make this, their fourth meeting, a prickly one. Thousands chanted "John Paul Two, we love you," as the pope, with Clirnto guiding hand on his elbow, walked down a red-carpeted receiving line of Cabinet officials, White House staff and church officials.

Li 9" NMWEbia U.S. may send troops to Kosovo MOSCOW - The Clinton adminis- tration signaled yesterday that it might be prepared to send American ground troops into Kosovo as part of an interna- tional force that would administer a political settlement in the embattled Serbian province. Discussion of NATO intervention in Kosovo intensified as the United States and its European allies prepared to deliv- er an ultimatum to Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic demanding that he immediately halt military action against separatist ethnic Albanians in the province or face punitive airstrikes. Diplomats in Europe said foreign ministers from the six-nation Balkans "contact group" would meet Friday in Paris and, in addition to the ultimatum directed at Milosevic, would demand that the ethnic Albanians enter immedi- ate negotiations aimed at ending the 1 I - month conflict that has cost more than 1,000 lives. The situation in Kosovo has deteriorat- Albanians in a village 10 days ago. International monitors have blamed Serbian forces for the assault, the worst since an October accord betwee Milosevic and the United States undo which Milosevic agreed to withdraw forces and open autonomy negotiations with the Albanians. King Hussein names son as successor AMMAN, Jordan - .Feverish ari weak, King Hussein yesterday rushe back to the U.S. cancer clinic where he had spent much of the last six months undergoing chemotherapy, leaving Jordanians to worry about their monarch's mortality.

His absence put the 36-year-old army com- mander in charge of the monarchy o his very first day as crown prince. ONEmO~. OE HART oN G~~ATU'RTX!
