U.S. officials said they sought clarification from This is our whole reply. We will not allow Kosovo to be Russia after Yeltsin's remarks and were told they were touched." Yeltsin did not say how Russia might taken out of context. They played down the signifi- cance of the confusion over communications between the two leaders. "Clearly he's recovering from some serious medical history," said an official who asked not to be named. "I wouldn't read too much into it. Everybody makes a misstep here or there." Such a discrepancy about a high-level communica- tion between Moscow and Washington is unusual. Yeltsin's spokesperson, Dmitri Yakushkin, said the Russian president later reiterated to the EU leaders "the thoughts that he had expressed in the message to Bill Clinton that he mentioned in front of the journalists." Yakushkin did not say whether it was a written or tele- phoned message. Russia long has expressed support for Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and repeatedly has warned against the use of force in Kosovo, the pre- dominantly ethnic Albanian province where rebels are battling for independence from Serbia. Serbia and Montenegro compose present-day Yugoslavia. AROUND THE NATION EPA proposes stricter pollution rules WASHINGTON - Tougher air pollution requirements, soon to be proposed for cars and for the first time sport utility vehicles, could dictate not only the quality of the air but the kind of cars people will drive for decades to come. The Environmental Protection Agency, after weeks of discussions with auto makers, is expected to submit a draft of the proposed regulations within days f final review by the White House, government and private sources said. The new anti-pollution package also would require oil companies to produce cleaner gasoline nationwide by cutting sulfur content by more than 90 percent. Sulfur inhibits the efficiency of vehicle pollution-control equipment. Tighter pollution rules for both motor vehicles and gasoline, which would begin to be phased in in 2004, would be key in determining how states meet federal air- quality goals and the types of vehicles motorists will drive during the next 20 years. EPA officials refused comment, pending the review of the proposal by the White House Office of Management and Budget. But industry and environmental sources briefed on the draft proposal called the tougher automobile standards essential to meeting federal air-quality goals, includ- ing new health standards for smog and microscopic soot. The EPA proposal spe - ifies nationwide tailpipe emission standards similar to those already adopted 2004 by California. Jimmy John opened his first store in Charleston, IL in 1983.

Later, Regent Rebecca McGowan (D-Ann Arbor) expressed her grati- tude to Vice President for Medical Affairs Gilbert Omenn and the team at the University Hospitals' Burn Treatment Unit for quickly treating victims of the explosion at Ford Motor Company's Rouge complex in Dearborn on Feb. 1. The regents also approved multiple building and improvement projects including an upgrade for electrical and fire alarms system at South Quad Residence Hall. The project is estimated to cost $4.6 million, financed from University Housing, Kasdin said, adding that the project is scheduled to begin this summer and conclude during the sum- mer of 2000. The regents also approved $950,000 worth of renovations for the second floor of the E.H. Kraus Building, more commonly known as the natural science building. The project is intended to pro- vide reconfigured space for a open mol- ecular cell biology research laboratory. Other building projects approved by the regents include repairs to North Campus roads and a magnetic resonance imaging facility addition to the University's East Ann Arbor Health Center on Plymouth Road, east of US- 23. SPEAKE1R Continued from Page 1 Baraka and Blue Ark described their performance style - a mixture of dif- ferent arts - as Funklore. "I think the music and the singing makes it really intense and the gospel makes me want to cry," LSA senior Sheree Brown said. Many other audience members shared Brown's sentiments, saying the perfor- mance evoked numerous emotions. "It speaks to the essence of the African American experience;' Gilbert said. "Blues in its nature expresses anger, sadness, despair, yet through its rhythm, a hope for life." Baraka's poetry referred to numer- ous people and events in black histo- ry, including Billie Holliday, Booker T. Washington and John Coltrane. He spoke about slavery, lynchings and freedom. In one of his poems, Baraka sung about "the cold city streets of Billie Holliday that still go on today." LSA junior Mwanaisha Sims said she was able to relate Baraka's poem to her life. "I was thinking so much of what I've studied," said Sims, who is concentrat- ing in African and Afro-American Studies. "It makes me so proud." The integration of familiar folk, blues and jazz songs into the perfor- mance affected the audience members in a variety of ways. "To see a production like this is an enlightening experience and is sup- posed to make you feel good," said LSA senior Jujuan Buford, who was the BSU speaker at the event. Ann Arbor resident Tammy Butler said the music revived memories of when her parents used to play similar music at home. "Although he was talking about a lot of things that are historical, they're still here today," Butler said.

The question of how these items will weather New Year's Day has become one of the basic fears of the year 2000 prob- lem. The home has been a source of anxi- ety, not necessarily because of the danger of starvation or hypothermia during the New Year, but because of the investment homeowners have made in expensive electronic equipment and the disquiet of having familiar and comfortable devices behaving oddly. "The things that we are most familiar with are the ones we always worry about most;' said John O'Brien, the coordina- tor of a community Year 2000 prepared- ness group in Chico, Calif But as it turns out, the testing of tens of thousands of products by consumer electronics companies - from digital thermostats to automatic coffee makers - has turned up a surprisingly small number that will be affected by the year 2000 problem, also known as Y2K or 14 Millennium Bug. Abortion clinics hit with anthrax threats Three abortion clinics and a Planned Parenthood center closed yesterday after receiving packages with warnings they contained anthrax. The FBI planned to analyzer the materials sent to a Planned Parenthood center in Manchester, N.H., and abc tion clinics in Washington, D. Milwaukee and Cincinnati. As with other recent threats against clinics, there was no indication the deadly bac- terium was actually used. In Milwaukee, the person who opened the envelope and three fire- fighters who were the first on the scene had to go to a hospital for decontami- nation and observation. AROUND THE WORLD ANKARA, Turkey --Turkey moved to stifle Kurdish protests at home and crush Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq yesterday, while prosecutors interrogat- ed the rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan at a tightly secured island prison. The capture of Ocalan continued to fuel Kurdish protests in Europe forthe third day, particularly in Germany, where it was feared the Kurdish con- flict would spill over onto its soil. Turkey saw its most violent protests yet when pro-Kurdish demonstrators and police clashed in the southern city of Ceyhan, injuring three policemen and one demonstrator, the Anatolia news agency said. The Turkish military released a video yesterday showing Ocalan being led from a ship, his head covered by a hood, onto the island of Imrali, in the Sea of Marmara, where he was made to pose in front of a line of Turkish flags. Turkish stations ran the footage with a caption reading, "This is the image 1I Turkey has been waiting for the past 15 years." Police, meanwhile, led sweeps-that, according to the independent Human Rights Association, have netted many as 750 Kurdish activists si Tuesday in Istanbul and the south- east, the heartland of Ocalan's guer- rilla war since 1984.
