2 -- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 2, 1999 NATION/WORLD 4 Mich. residents among 217 killed in EgyptAir crash KINOS 0TE AROUND THE NATION ~~" Los Angeles Times -NANTUCKET, Mass. - An EgyptAir jetliner plunged suddenly and mysteriously into the Atlantic Ocean south of this resort island early Sunday, killing all 217 people aboard and strew- ing the ink-black sea, 270 feet deep, ith their remains. Norm and Joan Shapiro of Oakland County's Bloomfield Township and Larry and Edith Kowalsky of West Bloomfield were among the 217 people on board the flight bound for Cairo, according to media reports. The two couples were traveling together on vacation. The plane, a Boeing 767, was Flight 990, which originated in Los Angeles and added fuel and passengers in New York on its way to Cairo. Its abrupt and rapid fall raised questions about sabo- tae. The FBI and other intelligence :agencies began investigations, but -President Clinton and other federal pfficials said there was no immediate evidence of foul play. Searchers hunted the Atlantic for the fourth time in three years, seeking bodies and pieces of a plane lost at sea. The first was after TWA Flight 800 went down off Long Island, N.Y, in July 1996, the sec- ond after Swissair Flight 111 crashed off Nova Scotia in September 1998, and the third after John F Kennedy Jr., his wife and her sister were killed off Martha's Vineyard last July. By nightfall, the searchers, aboard II aircraft and four cutters, had found a body, two partially inflated life rafts and some life jackets and seat cushions. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Richard Larrabee said none showed burn marks, which would have suggested a fire or explosion aboard the plane. The Coast Guard said the sea was 58 degrees, too cold for survival after 12 hours. The National Transportation Safety Board dispatched a team of investigators to the crash site.

The ship's crew were the first to arrive at the crash site. Defense in Shepard case rests abruptly DENVER -The defense abruptly ended its case vesterday in the trial of a man accused of beating Matthew Shepard, just hours after the presiding judge ruled that the so-called "gay panic" defense would not be allowed. The trial in Laramie, Wyo., moved toward a swift close after State District Judge Barton Voigt ordered that the controversial defense strategy could not be employed. In a ruling drafted during the weekend, the judge said that, despite protests to th contrary from attorneys, the defense's tactic was effectively the same as a temp rary insanity or diminished capacity defense, neither of which is allowed under Wyoming law. The judge's ruling was not a surprise. Voigt had earlier scolded Aaron McKinney's court-appointed defense attorneys for invoking the strategy during opening arguments. But, after the order was read in court yesterday, few of the expected defense witnesses were called. Instead, by early afternoon the defense appeared to jettison the remainder of its case and rested after having called only seven witnesses. Yesterday was to be the first full day of testimony for the defense. There was no rebuttal from the prosecution. Closing arguments are scheduled for today. McKinney could face the death penalty if convicted of murderinto Shepard. out what caused this airliner to crash," Jim Hall, the NTSB chair, declared. "We do not know at this point what caused the crash." The NTSB said it would work with the FBI, the Coast Guard, the Federal Aviation Administration and the State Department, as well as Egyptian offi- cials. "Until we know exactly what hap- pened, just about everybody will be involved in the investigation," said an FBI official in Washington. Agents will examine evidence as it is taken from the ocean to a military facility at Quonset, R.I., where the NTSB will reassemble the plane. Other FBI agents in New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles were called in to examine the flight manifest."We're try- ing to determine who was or was not on board," the FBI official said. A State Department official said passengers on the plane included citizens of Egypt, Sudan, Syria, Chile and the United States. Some of the passengers boarded at Los Angeles International Airport when the plane began its flight Saturday evening. The jetliner flew without incident to John E Kennedy International Airport in New York, where after about an hour, it took off again. STUDENTS Continued from Page 12 ?SQ students in time for today's election. "I don't bla'me students for worrying about their midterms," Diamond said. gEngineer junior Brandon Blair shared Diamond's sentiments. He said he is not a regis- tered voter in Ann Arbor and usually limits his voting to presidential elections. "In school, you're jeally busy and don't think you'll make any differ- e anyway," he said. 'Last year, the state Legislature passed a law --which %il come into effect this spring - that necessitates that a citizen's address be the same on their voter registration ,,td and drivers' license. "'buncilmember Joe Upton (R-Ward II) said while be is "not well-versed" in the law, it "makes sense." "Unless they really consider this their home, I don't tbik they should vote here," he said. Other council members said they think the law is detrimental, adding that the law forces students to choose between a local residence and one from their permanent home. Council member Jean Carlberg (D-Ward III) said the law unfairly targets students and "appears to dis- enfranchise them". "My interestis to make it as easy as possible to let peo-. ple vote, Carlberg said. Diamond said the purpose of the bill is to eliminate voter fraud, not hurt student voting. "Honestly, they have demonized this bill," Diamond said. While in the minority, sonic students plan to spend time at the polling booths today. "I always vote because only way we can have" an "impact on the way communities are run," Social Work graduate student Stephanie David said. Diamond added that College Republicans are* focusing their efforts on the upcoming federal and state elections in 2000. "Students are more interested in abortion and affir- mative action," Diamond said. "They're not interested in potholes." While student participation in local issues may be minimal, some councilmembers think city out- reach can increase student interest. "I don't think we have a good line of communication," Kolb said, referring to the relationship between the University and city. Kolb said working with student groups to improve "information presentation" may increase student's awareness of city issues. While student participation may be minimal, a few University students have taken an active involvement in local politics. Rackham student Charles Goodman and LSA senior Gabriel Quinnan are running for positions of city council as ibertarian candidates. LSA senior Jeff Irwin will officially join the Washtenaw County Commissioner's Otfice after today, as his race is unopposed. Goodman said student disinterest in city govern- ment often originates with the belief that government "can't solve student problems." Goodman said what elected officials "can do is stop getting in the way and causing student problems." udgerlesa *nst Giu lani on exhibit NEW YORK - A federal judge restored city funding yesterday to the Brooklyn Museum of Art, ruling that Mayor Rudolph Giuliani violated the First Amendment in cutting off the money because of an exhibit featuring a dung-encrusted portrait of the Virgin Mary. In issuing a preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon said the city's action against the museum was "directly related, not just to the content of the exhibit, but to the partic- ular viewpoints expressed. "There can be no greater showing of a First Amendment violation," she said. Floyd Abrams, a leading First Amendment attorney who is represent- ing the museum, said: "The ruling shows that mayor's behavior was law- less." The decision does not end the legal fight. Abrams said the museum will try to end to the dispute once and for all by obtaining a permanent injunction pro- tecting funding. And city officials said they will appeal. "The judge is totally out of control,' Giuliani said. The mayor has branded the exhibit "sick," sacrilegious and unworthy of taxpayer support. McCain denies hot temper allegations WASHINGTON - Arizona Sen. John McCain and his staff attempted yesterday to shrug off a stinging attack by a home-state newspaper that ques- tioned whether McCain's "volcanic" temper renders him unfit to be president. In an editorial Sunday, the Arizon* Republic, which has supported McCain in his Senate campaigns, said he "often insults people and flies off the handle," can be "sarcastic and condescending,' and that there is "reason to seriously question whether McCain has the tem- perament, and the political approach and skills, we want in the next president of the United States."

The Institute also maintains that chil- dren with ADHD frequently develop depression, lack of self-esteem and other emotional problems. Medication such as Ritalin are often used to treat the disorder. A 1995 report from the Institute found that physicians treating children and adolescents wrote 6 million prescriptions for drug stimulants Ritalin, Dexedrine and Cylert that year. Many students are diagnosed before col- lege, but Goodin said he has seen stu- dents who are first diagnosed in college. Counseling and Psychological Services provides screening for ADHD. "We use several tests that give some indications of the probability that a stu- dent has ADHD," said Jim Whiteside, a clinical psychologist. "Then, if neces- sary, we will refer the student to a psy- chiatrist at the hospital." Dan Fischer, senior social worker in psychiatry at University Hospitals, said an individual's personal amndfaily his- tory are usually evaluated during a two to three hour long session with a med- ical doctor. "It is important to recognize that a person with ADHD presents symptoms in all settings." Fischer said, adding that half of his cases deal with ADHD. "The symptoms must also deviate from nor- mal age-based behaviors." Fischer said the symptoms may per- sist into adulthood. But he said that adults are more capable of masking the difficulties. "As children get older and mature, they tend to find ways to better manage the disorder," he said. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, ADHD tends to run in families. Research from the Institute also claims that the brains of children with ADHD differ from those of children without the disorder. The research notes a link between the use of glucose in the brain and a person's inability to pay con- tinued attention.

Th ousands die in East Indian cyclone BALESHWAR, India - Bodies were hanging from trees and floating through towns yesterday when rescuers finally arrived with aid for survivors of one of the most powerful cyclones ever to strike India, where thousands were feared dead. After three days without food, shelter or clean drinking water, vil- lagers in eastern Orissa state looked to the skies when helicopters showed up to drop packets of protein-rich food. Military boats appeared on the horizon in the Bay of Bengal to evacuate those marooned on house- tops and hilltops. "This is the worst flooding in 100 years. I would say it is the worst in India's history," said Asim Kumar Vaishnav, chief administrator of Baleshwar, the state capital. With heavy rains abating, officials started to count the dead and search for the missing from the cyclone, which crashed into the coast on Friday with winds of 155 mph after building steam in the bay for five days. Meteorologists classified the storm as a supercylone, one of the strongest in the region this century. United News of India quoted an unidentified official as estimating the death toll at 3,000 to 5,000. Refugees remain inside Chechnya GROZNY, Russia - Thousands of frightened refugees who have waited as long as a week to flee Chechny remained blocked at a key border point yesterday as Russian artillery blasted. a town a few miles away. The chaotic and desperate scene at the western border with the republic of Ingushetia came as Russian jets and howitzers pressed their assaults on Jhe Chechen capital, Grozny, and other towns in the breakaway republic. - Compiled from Daily wire reports. jw- .1 .1 1 1- 7 1 '1 I i a The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
