NATION/WORLD
Countries react to change
in Austrian government
VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Aus-
tria's president agreed yesterday to
swear in a coalition government that
includes a far-right party whose
leader Joerg Haider has applauded
aspects of the Nazi regime and who
campaigned on an anti-immigrant
platform.
Reaction was swift. Israel recalled
its ambassador and banned Haider
from visiting, even though the right-
wing leader has repeatedly apolo-
gized for pro-Nazi remarks made
years ago.
European Union nations started
making good on threats to politically
isolate Austria, something the United
States has backed. The EU also
warned it may suspend the Alpine
nation's membership.
The prospect of Haider's Freedom
Party in government prompted about.
2,000 protesters to take to the streets
of Vienna late yesterday for a second
straight night.
A group of them pushed their way
into the city's historic Burgtheater and
stormed the stage in the middle of a
performance, calling on the audience
to join a protest rally today before flee-
ing the building.
Despite the outcry both at home and
abroad, President Thomas Klestil said
the results of the Oct. 3 parliamentary
I
elections give him little choice but to
go ahead with the swearing-in ceremo-
ny today.
Klestil did reject two Cabinet
nominees from Haider's Freedom
Party, including one who authorized
distribution of campaign posters in
Vienna warning of "over-foreigniza-
tion," a term that harkened back to
the Nazi era.
The president also demanded that
Haider and his coalition partner,
Wolfgang Schuessel of the centrist
Austrian People's Party, sign a state-.
ment renouncing the nation's Nazi
past and promising to respect Euro-
pean values.
SYMPOSIUM

They're pitting white women against
black people and minorities," Curtin
said. "All women have to support affir-
mative action and have to fight sexism
and racism together."
Kimball said BAMN members
have a valid argument, adding that the
symposium has a panel about race
and gender equity in sports scheduled
for tomorrow.
Other panelists and speakers at the
Title IX symposium include Univer-
sity of Iowa Prof. Christine Grant,
American Civil Liberties Union
Legal Director Mark Rosenbaum and
University Athletic Director Tom
Goss.
NEW YEAR
Continued from Page 1
Because the celebration is mod-
est and traditional, Chen said, gifts
such as toys are not typically
included.
Kuo said other Asian ethnic
groups, including some Koreans and
Vietnamese, also celebrate the Chi-
nese New Year.
Since most Asian students cannot
make it home to meet their families
for the New Year, CSA and AAA
organized a "Lunar Banquet" at
Farmington Hills Manor last Satur-
day evening to ring in the New
Year.
More than 450 University students
attended the formal event, which
included performances of traditional
Chinese dances.
Guests included the well-known
Chinese rock group "Kai" from San
Francisco as well as the local "Lion
Dance Team" from the Ann Arbor
Chinese School. Both will perform for
the celebration.
Kuo said the event was a very
important opportunity for AAA and
CSA to not only celebrate their culture
together but to share it with students of
other ethnicities as well.
"The last thing we want to do is seg-
regate ourselves from the rest of cam-
pus," Chen said.
Duanmu said the Center for Chinese
Studies will be hosting its own cele-
bration of the Chinese New Year with
a casual party for faculty and staff on
Feb. 12.
"I welcome everyone who's interest-
ed in learning about the Chinese tradi-
tion to (participate in our events). Our
goal is to have unity in our communi-
ty, but we also want to integrate oth-
ers," Chen said.
AIR
ACROSS THE NATION
Alaska Airlines black box, tail recovered
PORT HUENEME, Calif. - Searchers found the intact tail of Alaska Airlines
Flight 261 and recovered the flight data recorder yesterday, two pieces key to
determining why the jetliner plummeted into the ocean.
Underwater robots exploring the ocean floor found where the wreckage came
to rest after the MD-83 crashed Monday, killing all 88 aboard.
A submersible sent up video images of a piece of the fuselage with four wirW
dows, several large pieces up to six feet wide and numerous smaller pieces. The air-
line's logo - the smiling face of an Alaskan Eskimo - is clearly visible on the tail,
said John Hammerschmidt, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.
Hammerschmidt declined to say whether searchers had found any bodies,
some of which are believed trapped under the debris.
Navy crews had earlier salvaged the cockpit voice recorder from about 640
feet of water. The flight data recorder recovered yesterday about 200 feet away
would show the positions of the plane's controls and whether a problem with the
horizontal stabilizer on the tail was merely a symptom of a larger failure that led
to Monday's crash.
"That will tell the tale," said William Waldock, associate director for the Cer1
ter for Aerospace Safety Education at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
The discovery came as friends and relatives of the crash victims gathered
along the beach facing the Santa Barbara Channel for a private memorial.

Pataki concedes to
let McCain on ballot
ALBANY, N.Y.-- Gov. George
Pataki, the top New York backer of
Republican presidential candidate
George W. Bush, waved the white flag
of surrender yesterday in the battle to
keep Arizona Sen. John McCain off
the state's presidential primary ballot.
"I believe that John McCain should
be on the ballot," the governor said in
a statement. "This should be a cam-
paign about ideas and issues, not tech-
nicalities. I'm confident that George
Bush will win that campaign.'
Bush praised any move to allow his
chief rival to compete on ballots
statewide in New York, although it
would give McCain another shot at
competing head to head with the
Texas governor.
"It's the right decision. I welcome
it," Bush toldsreporters after cam-
paigning in Delaware.,
McCain, who held a news confer-
ence in front of the Russia Embassy to
denounce the "Stalinist politics" of '
the New York Republican Party, joked
of Pataki: "I'll never call him comrade
again.'
The Arizona senator was campaign-
ing in South Carolina, where he's
angling to beat Bush in that state's
Feb. 19 primary in order to maintain
his momentum after his stunning vio
tory over Bush in New Hampshire.
More leg room for
American flights
American Airlines, keeping one
step ahead of Congress, announced it
will create more leg room for its pas-
sengers by removing two rows of seats
in every aircraft in its fleet.
American Chairman Don Cart y
conceded that the move was prompte
by congressional concerns last year
over airline passenger complaints, and
he promised more changes to come to
demonstrate that legislation isn't
needed to fix the problem.
Last year American had the second
highest number of customer com-
plaints in the nation, according to
Department of Transportation figures
released this week, a ranking it mai*
tained through December.
MCCAIN

tentatively planned at the Michigan
Union.
"I honestly believe McCain will be
the nominee and I would hate to see
Michigan left out of that," Rubens
said.
Students were not the only voters
urging support for McCain last
night.
Peggy Hinchey, a veteran in poli-
tics and former Reagan campaign
worker, voiced her support for the
senator.
"He is a stronger man than Reagan
... and right now, I think he is our only

chance,'she said.
Hinchey added that she felt Bush
would not capture the Republican
nomination.
LSA freshman Kate Madigan also
expressed her preference for McCain
over the Texas governor.
"Bush would be a good president
because his aides would do a good job
running the country, whereas McCain
would do a good job by himself,"
Madigan said.
Bush is scheduled to visit a church
in Detroit this morning and plans to
attend an event in Troy this afternoon
before heading to Grand Valley State
University in Allendale later in the
day.

British gvernment
sets iR deadline
LONDON - The British govern-
ment imposed a tough deadline on the
Irish Republican Army last night,
threatening to shut down the new gov-
ernment of Protestants and Catholics
in Northern Ireland if the IRA doesn't
demonstrate some progress toward
disarmament in a week.
The Northern Ireland Minister,
Peter Mandelson, said legislation to
"suspend" the Northern Ireland
Assembly and Cabinet - the historic
venture in power sharing that began
just two months ago - would be
enacted "late next week" if no positive
sign is forthcoming.
Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahearn
put the squeeze even tighter on the
IRA. Meeting with the IRA's political
wing, Sinn Fein, he reportedly
demanded some step right now. It's
one thing for Sinn Fein to resist dead-
lines set by its political adversaries or
by its ancient enemy, the British gov-
ernment. It's quite another for a party
committed to Irish unity to spurn the
government of Ireland.
"We must make further progress,
Ahearn said last night after an em
gency meeting in Cornwall, Englaio
with British Prime Minister Tony
Blair. "We've had a very difficult
week:"
Russian exchanges
journalist for soldiers
MOSCOW - The Russian gov-
ernment said yesterday it has traded
a Radio Liberty journalist who w-
under military detention in Chech,
nya to rebel commanders in
exchange for two Russian soldiers.
The surprise announcement deep-
ened the apprehension in the Russian
journalistic community about the fate
of Andrei Babitsky, a Russian citizen
who covered the Chechen war for the
U.S.-financed radio station.
Babitsky has not contacted his
family or the radio station since Jan.
15.
