*Bush and Gore to face off in series of debatel

f

i

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican
George W. Bush, giving in after a two-week
battle over debates, agreed yesterday to
Democrat Al Gore's demand that they meet
in three prime-time confrontations spon-
sored by a bipartisan panel. The running
mates will debate once.
Americans will see Bus: and Gore go
head to head on television Oct. 3 in
Boston, Oct. 1I1 in Winston-Salem, N.C.,
and Oct. 17 in St. Louis. Each debate will
begin at 9 p.m. and last 90 minutes,
according to the agreement reached yester-
day.
Details on the format must be worked
out, and the campaigns will meet today.
Bush's communications director, Karen
Hughes, said the Texas governor is still
pressing for the "more free-flowing and more
spontaneous format" that had been a major
part of his earlier debate plans.
Bush previously had balked at the pro-
posal of the bipartisan Commission on

Presidential Debates, but he has been
under pressure to accept -- not only from
Democratic foes but from Republicans
who wanted him to put the distraction
behind him.
The agreement was announced by Bush
campaign chairman Don Evans and his
Democratic counterpart, Gore campaign
chairman William Daley, after their first
joint meeting with the debate commission.
"The governor is very eager to debate,"
Evans said.
"We've made great progress," said
Daley. "The American people want to hear
from these people."
The vice presidential candidates, Democ-
rat Joseph Lieberman and Republican Dick
Cheney, will debate at 9 p.m. Oct. 5 in
Danville, Ky.
Reform Party nominee Pat Buchanan and
Green Party nominee Ralph Nader, both
registering single digits in national polls,
most likely will not meet the commission's

threshold of 15 percent in media polls for
inclusion.
The negotiations ended a standoff last-
ing several weeks in which Bush held out
for doing only one debate sponsored by
the commission and several less formal
matchups in other venues, such as one on
a special edition of NBC's "Meet the
Press" and another on CNN's "Larry King
Live."
"The major thing is that the debate debate
is over," said Paul Kirk, co-chairman of the
commission and former Democratic Nation-
al Committee chairman.
"The credit goes to the campaigns ...
that they saw the wisdom of agreeing to it
and getting this noise level about it behind
them."
Frank Fahrenkopf, co-chairman of the
commission and former chairman of the
Republican National Committee, said,
"The American people are going to have a
full airing of all the issues in this cam-

. i...


"The American people a

ire going to have a full

paign."'
The commission leaders made it clear at
the outset of the meeting that they could
not agree to moving debate sites - all at
college campuses - that had been
announced in January.
Only two presidential debates were held
in 1996 and one between running mates.
The record for presidential debates - four
between Richard Nixon and John Kennedy
in 1960 -still has not been matched.
Daley was joined at the negotiations by
Labor Secretary Alexis Herman and advis-

er Jim Johnson, while Bush was represeni°
ed by Evans, campaign manager Joe M1
baugh and adviser Andrew Card.
The meeting with the commission came
day after a Gore confidant received a mn
terious package of documents that appeared
to concern Bush's debate preparation's
including a videotape of Bush practicing.in
a mock debate.
Hughes said yesterday that a Bush lawyer
had reviewed the tape, which was turne
over to the FBI, and "it does appear to be
an authentic tape."

Retired military
leaders show
support for Busl

:ri:h:

WASHINGTON (AP) - Several
retired military commanders, includ-
ing some nominated to top posts by
President Clinton, plan to endorse
Republican George W. Bush for the
presidency today, according to the
Bush campaign.
They include just-retired Persian
Gulf commander Gen. Anthony Zinni;
Adm. Jay Johnson, who retired as head
of the Navy this summer; Gen. Ronald
Fogleman, who resigned as Air Force
Chief in 1997; former Air Force chief
Gen. Merrill McPeak; and former
Marine Commandant Gen. Carl
Mundy, the campaign said.
The Pentagon, responding to reports
of the political debut of some of its top
former officers, said yesterday that
recently retired personnel are free to
endorse anyone they like in the presi-
dential contest. "Once a person has
retired from the military, they are
more free than when they are on
active duty to express their political
views," said Pentagon spokesman
Rear Adm. Craig Quigley.
He noted that while retired military
officers are under some restrictions on

of bacterial cells and help defend the bacteria against antibi-
otics and host immune responses.
Pharmacy graduate student Mathew Birck said the
team tested 150.000 compounds in plastic trays with 96
.twells that contained different combinations of 10 com-
pounds each.
"When we kill the enzyme, that's good," Woodard said.
"After the first screen, many compounds killed the enzyme,
so we had to test them further."
After about four to five years of the KDO 8-9 project and
a year of actual testing, the team narrowed the compounds
down to one, PD 404182. This particular compound was
found to be 10,000 times more potent than other known
inhibitors of the KDO 8-P synthase enzyme in Gram nega-
tive bacteria.
Once found, the PD 404182 compound was tested on liv-
ing bacteria and was found to weaken the bacteria but not
kill them.
"We think this happens because the cell will not allow it
to come inside," Woodard said. "We're now trying to modi-
fy the compound to make it easier to get inside."
The next step is now to find ways to improve the com-
pound. "What we would try and do would be to attach other
groups to the compound itself," Birck said. "It would be a
little more encouraging if it got in the cell now, but it's
encouraging that it does inhibit the enzyme."
Woodard estimated that the team will continue modify-
ing the compound for several more years, but they are
pleased with the results. "We're at the very beginning of a
drug discovery," he said.

GINSBERG

Although building dedication cere-
monies are usually very formal events,
many commented on how personal
this renaming seemed.
Ginsberg family members attended
the ceremony, enhancing the intimate
feeling of the event.
"I thought the actual presentation
was very warm." said Kate Brady, a
graduate student in the Gerald R. Ford
School of Public Policy.
Transportation Services Coordinator
Angela Campos agreed, adding that
from what she had learned about Gins-
berg, the donation seemed like "a per-
fect match between his life's goals and
the center's goals."
Maynard, who also serves as co-
chair of the Center's National Board,
also said the donation was appropri-
ate.
"Usually gifts are given to things
that are much more visible," she
said.
"But it became very apparent that
this ... was a gift that would really
honor his memory.
"We're feeling very wonderful about
it. It just makes you proud to be part of
the Michigan family."

political activity. Active-duty milita

There is little surprise in the choice
of Bush over Democrat Al Gors
among military officers.
A survey in October of 3,000 le-
ing military officers showed eit
Republicans for every Democrat.
About a fourth of those survey d
said they are independent or gavy

the Triangle Institute for Security
Studies.
Gen. Ronald Krulak, a former
Marine commandant who leads a'et-
erans group for Bush, told The Wash-
ington Post that 85 high-ranl
veterans are among those who w'
added to the Bush camp.
Many of them, he said, were upset by
comments made by Gen. Henry She-!

"Gore's goal is to raise college attendance rates

Even though noise pollution from the Diag brou
would be of most concern during the spring facu
nd summer semesters because of open win- "
ing," Stitt said. But they "eliminate a lot of stu-
dent votes."
But Brater assured students that they would
still be able to vote where they go to school.
"You can vote where you want," she said.
Brater said there is a need to regain a
Democratic majority of the state House of
Representatives before legislative districts are
redrawn next year.
The meeting also touched on the subject of
Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader,
who is likely to take a portion of the left-wing
votes away from Gore.
"Nader announced that they lost a lot of their
union support, so they're targeting college cam-
puses," Hertel said. "A vote for Nader is a vote
for Bush."
