2A -The Michigan Daily - Monday, February 7, 2000 NATION/WORLD BUSH Continued from Page 1A American Dream. Referring to the conservative Republicans, he said, "We must close the gap of hope and make sure no child gets left behind." If elected as the next commander-in- chief of the armed forces, Bush said he would maintain a role as peacemaker and demand other countries fulfill their roles as peacekeepers. The former Texas Air National Guard pilot also addressed the morale of the armed forces. "We're certain that the morale of the military is low. In order to keep peace, it's important to rebuild the military power of the ,United States of America,' he said. "It's important to have a comman- jjer-in-chief who respects men and women in uniform - and earns their respect," he added. Following the address, one audience member excused Bush's failure to push for the inclusion of McCain's name on all New York ballots, saying the senator had acted similarly in a campaign against a former Arizona governor. Bush expressed his gratitude for the notice. Bush said when he takes the oath of office, "I will not only swear to uphold the laws of the land but honor and dig- nity of my office." "We have a lot of work to do and we're going to keep slugging away," Engler said. "McCain did what he set out to do," Engler said. "But you can't pass every other contest and expect to be there in the end." Engler said the upcoming primary in South Carolina will be a battle, but he has confidence that Bush will win in Michigan. Amid the tension caused by Bush's New Hampshire loss, there was some , room for joking. In his introduction of Bush, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson made a few jabs at Texas saying, "A true Texan can have a black eye and a hickey at the same time." SMITH Continued from Page :IA After a meeting with Michigan bas- ketball coach Brian Ellerbe, who vowed to help her get her possessions back, Anderson showed up at the stu- dent's apartment to return the items. The woman said in a prior interview that Anderson apologized for her inconvenience by saying, "I'm sorry my teammates stole your stuff. They didn't mean to hurt you." Gaines refuted Anderson's implica- tion of Smith's participation, asserting once again that Smith was not involved in the theft. Yesterday, the student said she believes Smith was probably the cul- prit, but added that she's not certain. It could have been any of the three Michigan players present, she said. "I was in the family room the whole time," the student said. "I wasn't guarding my door and paying attention to everyone who went in and out." No charges were filed in the case. The student said she was satisfied with the return of her belongings, and said she had no desire to press charges. Clinton to reveal $1.84T final budget WASHINGTON - As President Clinton prepared to reveal a $1.84 trillibn farewell budget full of politically popular programs from health care to eduda- tion, the administration warned yesterday that Republican efforts to pass big tax cuts would face another presidential veto. Clinton's final budget, coming out today and covering the 2001 fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, promises a replay of last year's battle with the GOP-controlled Congress over what to do with the $3 trillion or more in surpluses the boomi economy is projected to provide over the next decade. Both sides would use two-thirds of the surplus, the portion generated by Social Security, to wipe out the $3.7 trillion of publicly owned debt within the $5.7 trillion national debt. But it is the other third of the surplus, around $1 trillion, where big disagree- ments occur. Clinton wants a large portion of the non-Social Security surplus to shore up Medicare, the government's huge health program for the elderly, and to boost spending on a wide range of services: education, the environment, increased health-care coverage for the uninsured and many others. Republicans in Congress have pledged to fight for more generous tax cuts and have attacked Clinton's budget for proposing billions of dollars in new gover. ment spending. GOSS Continued from Page 1A was the in-house heir-apparent to for- mer athletic director Joe Roberson before Goss got the job, said he was deeply saddened by this development. "Unfortunately, everything in the Athletic Department is public," Seyferth said. "No one person can stand that scrutiny. The recent notori- ety has made the situation untenable.' Seyferth, who has since pursued inter- ests in the private sector, said he would not accept an offer to replace Goss. Michigan hockey coach Red Beren- son declined comment on the matter, but said he would not consider an administrative position at this time. The last highly respected Michigan coach to accept the athletic director position was Bo Schembechler, who filled the office from 1988-90. Former Michigan basketball coach Steve Fisher, whose highly publicized firing was Goss' first major act as director, told the Associated Press in San Diego he did not have any com- ment on the issue. Fisher, with long- time assistant Brian Dutcher, now coaches at San Diego State. University spokeswoman Julie Peter- son said, as of last night that there was no official announcement on the matter.

"This census is very important to us. Obviously, there'sa lot at stake," said H. Brent Coles, mayor of Boise, Idaho, and vice president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors. A city's share of state and federal dollars for schools, roads, police and other essential municipal func- tions depends on its' population; more residents, more money. The Census Bureau estimates it undercounted 1.4 percent of the population in 1990, but does not adjust the actual 1990 figures to account for the shortfall. The mayors' group surveyed 34 cities of varying sizes from Los Angeles, with a population of about 3.6 million, to Lafayette, Ind, a city of about 40,000. The cities translat- ed the census undercount into lost dollars and estimated a total loss of S536 million in federal and state funds during the 1990s. It generally is agreed it is almost impossible to count every person in the country. Under dispute is how to account for the "missing" people.* Ma or gains reported in ghtng hepatitis WASHINGTON - Piggybacking on their success in developing drugs for HIV infection, researchers are reporting major progress in combating two forms of hepatitis that threaten to overtake AIDS as a national health crisis. Studies reported in recent months medical conferences suggest doctors might soon be able to eradicate the viruses or send them into sustained remission in a majority of infected people. The studies are the culmina- tion of years of work in developing medicines against hepatitis B and hepatitis C, two distinct viral diseases with similar symptoms. r ARouND WORLD :"IN Planning tos Study Abroad Syracuse has your ticket! EN G LA ND * ITALY HONGKONG * SPAIN ZIMBABWE * FRANCE SYRACUSE Police raid Mexican university, end strike MEXICO CITY - In a surprising- ly smooth conclusion to the 9,1/2- month occupation of Latin America's largest university, police raided the main campus yesterday and arrested 632 striking students. The raid ended an exasperating ordeal in which Mexican authorities from President Ernesto Zedillo on down seemed unable to wrestle the country's most important academic institution from a tiny band of radical students with names like Mosh and The Devil. Armed only with batons and shields, about 2,400 federal police marched into an all-nigh meeting of the student strike council at 6:45 a.m. and rounded up about 430 stu- dents, including the eight top strike leaders. The strikers didn't resist arrest and there were no injuries. Police then swept through the giant campus, detaining hundreds more strikers. "A democratic society cannot allow the kidnapping of the national univer- sity," Interior Secretary Diodoro Car- rasco said. The 291-day strike at the 260;000- student National Autonomous UniVr- sity of Mexico began in Apri protest plans to raise annual tuition, which had been just a few cents, to the equivalent of $140. IMF reluctant to offer loan to Russia MOSCOW - The International Monetary Fund announced this wc,- end that it will not release a delay S640 million loan to Russia until it sees more evidence of economic reform. Even though Russia's economy'per- formed better than the IMF expeeted last year, the government has made only limited progress in adopting structural reforms, the Moscow office of the IMF said in a statement Saturday. --Compiled fiom Daily u-ure rep. s.
