2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, February 4, 2000 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 Continued from Page 1 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 Continued from Page 1 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 LIKE TC THE MICHI CALL 74 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.

COMPOSER'S FORUM COCERT 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. - Compiled fiom Daily wire reports.
