2A - The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 8, 1999 NATION/WORLD World remember HUSSEIN Continued from Page 1A vious experience in politics. "May the man rest in peace. . The soul of King Hussein will remain with us and be with us and won't disappear from our hearts and our souls." In a testament to Hussein's ability to build bridges in a region that often seems intent on destroying them, his funer- al reportedly will be attended not only by Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders but also by representatives from Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia, which are hostile to the Jewish state. A funeral procession will carry Hussein's casket through downtown Amman to the Royal Palace grounds around noon today. There it will be placed in the "throne room" for a brief viewing by world leaders. s lfe of Hussein That will be followed by a ceremony in the palace mosque, after which the king's body will be entombed on the palace grounds. Hussein, who was crowned king in May 1953 upon turning 18, nine months after his father Talal abdicated for health rea- sons, had survived assassination attempts, wars - including one that cost him the West Bank and Jerusalem - and inter- Arab feuding only to be felled by a cancer that raged through his body in the past six months. During Abdullah's swearing-in ceremony at the Jordanian Parliament yesterday afternoon, the only sound for a few long moments was of muffled sobs. Approaching the cham- ber's red throne, wearing his family's trademark red- checked head scarf, the young monarch stopped before an oil portrait of his late father dressed in formal military regalia, threw back his shoulders and stood at attention for more than five seconds.

LSA senior and Visibility Week par- ticipant Andy McKenzie said although he feels some of the week's events - such as the Kiss-In - are too invasive, the week as a whole offers a chance for members of the LGBT community to make people aware of their pres- ence. The Kiss-In, an activity regularly held during Visibility Week and scheduled for Friday, invites partici- pants to show their support in front of friends and observers in the Diag. The week is "a good compromise between forcing someone to accept you and just being yourself," McKenzie said.

"I found out about it from my next- door neighbor, and I thought it would be a great way to get involved," Hazra said. Participants also played basketball, made mittens and Valentine's Day cards, sang and took part in "Olympic events" including relays and races. The marathon began as the dancers ran under the M-Club banner that is held up for the football players in Michigan Stadium before kickoff at each game. "It was great, we all jumped up and touched the banner as we ran through," LSA sophomore Neil Kindra said. The marathon is a 25-year-old event that originated at Penn State University. Currently, more than 18 colleges and universities nationwide participate in the Dance Marathon. The events can last from 24 to 48 hours. The goal for each school is to raise funds for its local Children's Miracle Network hospital. Business senior Monisha Kapila is a Dance Marathon veteran. "Last year I was a moraler, but this year I decided to dance," Kapila said. "It's a lot of fun. All of my roommates are here to cheer each other on." Kapila said the best part of the marathon was a little girl who sang the National Anthem during the opening ceremonies. "When she sang, it reminded me of what we are here for," Kapila said. The moralers, who break up the event into shifts, play a vital role in keeping the dancers motivated. The easiest shifts are in the beginning, but toward the end of the marathon the job gets "pretty tough," said Engineering first-year student Brian Johnson. Engineering sophomore Elisha Vogel said she wasn't sure how she was going to be able to endure the long event. "The 30 hours seems kind of scary, but I ate some pasta and got a lot of sleep (Friday) night," Vogel said. Vogel added that seeing children who are assisted by the Children's Miracle Network inspired her to complete the marathon. Sarma said the dancers' strong sense of the impact they can have on the lives of children inspires them."It's the whole concept of mind over matter," Sarma said. Another inspiration for participants was the story of Briggs McMichael Parry, who has been helped through the funds raised by the marathon. Holding back tears, Parry's mother stood on stage with her family in front of the marathoners and told her son's story. When Parry was only four months old, his heart stopped beating for more than 30 minutes when doctors at Beaumont Hospital saved Parry's life. Each day the struggle is a little easier, Parry's mother said, and the devastating twist in her life has taught her and her family to take life one day at a time. "When you come that close to losing a child, your whole perspective on things changes," Parry said. Parry said her son's accomplishments during therapy have turned her feelings of devastation into ones of hope. Just before the Parry family left the stage, Parry's father praised the partici- pants and shared his feelings of grati- tude.

NA Stardust began its formidable journey one day late, soaring into a clear afternoon sky aboard a Boeing Delta rocket. A last-minute radar problem Saturday caused the delay. Launch controllers applauded and punched the air when, a half-hour after liftoff, the final stage of the rocket pro- pelled Stardust into a solar orbit in pur- suit of Comet Wild-2. "It's most exciting to get this beauti- ful spacecraft on its way," said Stardust's chief scientist, Donald Brownlee, a University of Washington astronomer. NASA's Stardust mission is the first attempt to gather material from beyond the moon and return it to Earth. It is also the first time NASA has sent a robot on an extraterrestrial pickup and delivery mission. The last time the agency went after samples in outer space was Apollo 17 in 1972, the last of the manned lunar landings. "Not only do we have to get to where we're going ... but then we've got to turn around and come home again," said Carl Pilcher, NASA's science director f4 solar system exploration. anti-drugprograms focus on yout WASHINGTON - Hammering home the need for a drug-control strategy that measures success and failure, the Clinton administration is announcing a five-part plan designed to cut the size of the nation's drug problem in half 2007. In a three-volume report to Congress, White House drug policy director Barry McCaffrey said drugs cost the country more than 14,000 lives annual, despite a nationwide effort that includes close to $18 billion spent this year by the federal government. AROUND THE NATION U.S. asserts right to bomb facilities WASHINGTON - The Clinton administration now asserts the right to bomb government facilities in nations that provide sanctuary to international terrorists, a significant escalation of U.S. attempts to thwart terrorism. "We may not just go in a strike against a terrorist facility; we may choose to retaliate against the facilities of the host country, if that host country is a knowin cooperative sanctuary," Richard Clarke, President Clinton's coordinator for couW terterrorism, told The Associated Press. In an interview last week, Clarke described the policy that marks a departure from the tactics employed last August when U.S. cruise missiles struck at alleged terrorist strongholds in Afghanistan and Sudan. Now the administration contends it could broaden such an attack to include gov- ernment buildings and assets in nations that knowingly harbor terrorists. The Clinton administration has warned nations that protect terrorist groups before. "Countries that persistently host terrorists have no right to be safe havens;' Clinton told the nation Aug. 20, the day the United States launched scores of cruise missiles at suspected terrorist targets in Afghanistan and Sudan. But prior to Clarke's comments, no one in the administration had made the lea from a general denunciation of harboring terrorists to an explicit threat that gob ernments may find their own facilities attacked if they do so. AROUND THE WORLD WHAT Y( CARRY )U NEED TO YOURSELF Kosovo peace tals continue in France RAMBOUILLET, France - Serb officials and Kosovo Albanians agreed on principles that would keep the embattled province inside Yugoslavia for at least three more years as they met separately yesterday with international mediators at a French chateau. Getting down to work after Saturday's ceremonial opening of the peace talks, the mediators presented Kosovo's warring factions with a plan worked out by the six-nation Contact Group. The agreement con- tains 10 basic principles, including keeping what remains of Yugoslavia intact. That means Kosovo's ethnic Albanians have to give up their demand for independence for their province - at least during a three-year interim peri- od. Both a Serb negotiator and a Western mediator said all sides had accepted those principles. "It's a good step forward," a Western mediator said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Still, he added that the tough part will be working out just how broad the Kosovo autonomy will be. The peace negotiations are being held in seclusion at the*14th-Centui- Chateau de Rambouillet, official sun* mer home of French presidents, and it was not possible to confirm the Albanian acceptance directly. Russia protests NATO expansion MUNICH - Led by the United States, NATO is intent on "destructi of the existing world order," a senioT Russian official declared in yesterday's gloomy close to an otherwise celebra- tory European conference. Yevgeny Gusarov, the deputy foreign minister of Russia, told the Munich Conference on Security Policy that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should not even think of expanding after it inducts Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic at an April summit in Washington. - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
