2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 19, 1999 N ATION/W ORLD Indonesia yet to choose next leader The Washington Post JAKARTA, Indonesia - For more than three decades, Indonesia's People's Consultative Assembly has been largely a rubber stamp, ratifying the appoint- ment of presidents already in place. Now, as the 700- ' member assembly meets for its first session in Indonesia's new era of democratic reform, no one- including the members themselves - has a clue who Indonesia's next president will be. And the election is supposed to be 48 hours away. The incumbent, President B.J. Ilabibie, made it clear yesterday he is in the race to stay, despite huge daily demonstrations against his rule and sharp criti- cisms from assembly members. "I hope to continue the struggle until the last minute," an emotional Habibie told soldiers and secu- rity personnel at a ceremony. "I don't want to say goodbye. I don't want to bid farewell." T-SH IRTS Continued from Page 1 but if it is harmful to women, it is harmful," said Michelle Bolek, - founder of Students Promoting Eating Disorder Awareness and Knowledge. "We had no idea what these shirts would cause. We thought that it would humor people and make some cash," Gillman said. The plain blue T-shirts that partic- ipants in Friday's day of support plan to wear represent acceptance of all body types, maintaining an equal relationship between men and women, awareness of challenges -that college women face, empathy -arid tolerance towards others and feminism, according to fliers for the .event. .Williams said she hopes the day of support will counteract the negative images projected by the slogan. "The slogan does two things, it 'reates a hunting atmosphere, the 'idea of guys preying on freshmen for purely physical reasons and it objectifies women. The tone of the nessage is disheartening," she "said. .-The T-shirts and the messages they send women will be formally addressed during the rally on the Diag on Thursday, Williams said. "We don't want this to be just a backlash to the shirts, but more of a thing that would be contained in itself as a positive show of support for women's issues on campus," WIC co-Chair Riley Hoffman said. Berkowitz and Gillman are inac- tive members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Contrary to pre- vious allegations, Interfraternity Council Adviser John Mountz said the Greek System has no connection with production of the T-shirts. "These shirts are not endorsed or supported by our fraternity," TKE President Seth Timen said. "I understand that they are with poor taste and obnoxious undertones but it was just a personal entrepre- neurial (venture) which they con- ducted." Greek System officials.said they are adamant that the shirts not be associated with campus fraternities or sororities. "When we first found out about the shirts, we looked into it. These are not produced by a Greek chap- ter," Mountz said. Berkowitz and Gillman printed 400 of the T-shirts in mid-August and planned to sell the shirts for S10 each. "We are going to change the front and sell them at other universities. They loved the shirts at (the University of) Wisconsin," Berkowitz said. MURDER Continued from Page 1.

AROUND THE NATION ' Search warrants needed for crime scenes WASHINGTON -The Supreme Court ruled yesterdav that pohice cannot con- duct an extensive search of a murder scene without first obtaining a warrant. The unsigned opinion in the case of a West Virginia minister who bludgeoned his wife to death reinforced a 1978 decision and reversed a lower court's ruling that the scene of a homicide is exempt from the constitutional prohibition on warrantlesw searches. James Flippo had called police in the early morning of April 30, 199%, claiming a masked man had barged into a cabin he and his wife. Cheryl, were renting at Babcock State Park in Fayette County. Flippo, then pastor at the Church of God in Nitro, told police the man cut him with a knife and knocked him unconscious, and that when he awoke he found his wife beaten to death. Police arrived and immediately began searching the cabin and collecting evi- dence. Opening a briefcase, officers found an envelope containing photographs of a man who appeared to be taking off his jeans. It turned out that the man was a friend of Flippo and a member of his congregation. Prosecutors charged Flippo with his wife's murder, introducing the photos at trial as evidence that he was having an intimate relationship with the man a arguing that he killed his wife in part because she was angry about the relatioi ship.

BRIDGE Continued from Page: Some students expressed concern when hearing of the possible traffic delays. "It takes more time out of my day," Engineering first-year student Ryan Brown said. "It needs to be done but even so, there are still con- sequences." Wheeler said while shutting down a main transportation avenue will be a major hassle, it is necessary. He said the bridges date back to the time of the Titanic. Although still "perfectly safe," Wheeler said the bridges are deteriorating and need to be removed. The rerouting of traffic will not be a short term nuisance. Wheeler said the project is in its final stages of planning and he expects a contract to be given to a private construction company by April. "We expect to start in mid-2000" and finish at the "end of 2001." Some city officials said many will be affected by the roadwork but efforts were made to relieve some of the pressure. City council member Chris Kolb (D-Ward V) said one of the reasons the decision to allow one lane open for inbound traffic was made in order to protect businesses in the Kerrytown section of the city. Other efforts were made to relieve some of the pressure on city resi- dents. At their September meeting, the University Board of Regents approved the sale of a small parcel of land on Broadway to the city for 588,000. The additional land allows the city to keep a sidewalk open for pedestrian use. The bridge construction budget is nearly S18 million. Federal and state money will fund less than half of the project, with local fundingI picking up the rest, Wheeler said. yesterday and took over the long-run- ning independent counsel investigation that could still affect the political plans of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Starr bid farewell in a letter that stat- ed his resignation was prompted by the "intense politicization" of his work. Starr disclosed he tried unsuccessfully to turn over the remainder of his inves- tigation to the Justice Department. "The wiser course, I believe, is for another individual to head the investi- gation,' Starr wrote. In front of the'courthouse where he was sworn in, Ray promised his prose- cutors would operate in "a prompt, responsible and cost-effective manner," while being "thorough and fair." One of the judges who appointed him called fora speedy end to an inves- tigation that polls show the public is Court rejects petition to recall Ventura ST. PAUL, Min. - A petition to recall Gov. Jesse Ventura was dismissed yesterday by Minnesota's chief justice, who said the ex-wrestler didn't do any- thing wrong by making money off a book deal and public appearances. The recall petition - the first in t1 state since it became legal in 1996 - was filed by environmentalist Leslie Davis, an unsuccessful write-in candi- date for governor last year. Davis claimed Ventura committed malfeasance by using the prestige of his office to secure a better book deal and a higher price for his return to the wrestling ring; and by taking gifts and favors from his book publisher and wrestling promoter. r ____________________ I ~I ic igesda J r , :,; 66rdcn ti 5re Live with British students in the very center as a Registered Visiting Student of a medieval college with university privileges.

Alleged rebels seize hostages from boat BOGOTA, Colombia - Suspected guerrillas posing as - passengers hijacked a tourist boat off Colombia's Pacific coast, abducting 14 men before releasing the vessel, its captain and the women and children aboard, the navy reported Sunday. Four assailants with concealed weapons boarded the boat Saturday in Buenaventura, a major western port, then forced it to land at a beach where they took away the male passengers. No group has claimed responsibility. But the action appeared to be another in a wave of rebel abductions that have increasingly exposed ordinary Colombians to the dangers of the coun- try's 35-year conflict. According to the navy's report, freed passengers said the hostage-takers declared they were punishing the boat's owner for refusing to make extortion payments to the country's largest rebel band, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARO. The IPARC - which finances its insurgency through kidnappings, extortion and by protecting the drug trade - is set to begin peace talks with the government Oct. 24 Monk quarrel taints main Buddhist order SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea's main Buddhist temple resem- bles less a spiritual sanctuary than a for- tified camp these days. South Korea's largest Buddhist order is once again in turmoil over leadership, and the thug- gish tactics of some monks have scar, the religion's image nationwide. The dispute illustrates Buddhism's often uncomfortable role in secular South Korea, where some faction leaders vie for control of tax-free properties and donations from worshippers. At the tem- ple last week, monks brandished sticks and smashed collapsible metal chairs on the shaved heads of rival monks. At least 10 monks and lay people were injured. - Compiled f orn Daily wire repoj www.studyabroad.com/wisc - Can you ~~-( *'4a _". I \ i. It! I Study Abroad...It's Within Your Reach!
