Yugoslavia anxiously awaits new president
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) - Tens of thou-
sands of jubilant opposition supporters celebrated
yesterday their apparent electoral victory over Presi-
dent Slobodan Milosevic, who was seeking to force
a runoff despite calls to accept the end of his 13
years in power.
Chanting "Kill Yourself Slobodan and Save
Serbia," more than 40,000 people jammed a
downtown Belgrade square to celebrate the pur-
ported victory of the pro-Western opposition
challenger, Vojislav Kostunica. Thousands also
gathered in the Serbia's two other major cities of
Novi Sad and Nis.
But the lack of any official results more than 24
hours after polls closed Sunday raised fears that
Milosevic would rig the results to force a second
round of voting.
The United States and more than a dozen other
countries said they would not accept fraudulent
claims of victory. The United States also pledged
yesterday to lift sanctions against Yugoslavia once
Milosevic accepts defeat.
Kostunica, a 56-year-old law professor, demanded
the State Election Commission release official
results within the next two days and warned if Milo-
sevic tried to tamper with the vote, "we will defend
our victory by peaceful means and we will protest
for as long as it takes." His party said. its own unoffi-
cial count gave him around 55 percent of the vote.
In the absence of official results, Milosevic's left-
wing coalition insisted yesterday that the president
was ahead in the vote count but not far enough to
guarantee that he would avoid a runoff with Kostuni-
ca on Oct. 8.
At a press conference to bolster morale among
the president's shocked and demoralized followers,
Gorica Gajevic, Milosevic's party general secretary,
said that with 37 percent of the ballots counted,
Milosevic was ahead by 45 percent to Kostunica's 40
percent.
"This result gives us optimism that we can win in
the first round," Gajevic said.

"It was a great experience," he said.
Instead of waiting up to two
hours for an audition, Ann Arbor
resident Matt Baughman was
approached as he left work Sunday
by MTV staff members who asked
him if he had questions on issues to
ask Gore.
"I was surprised" to be chosen, he
said.
Baughman said this is the first time
he will vote in an election.
He is, as yet, undecided on who he
will vote for president.
Baughman said he looks for one
quality above all others.
"It would have to be character," he
said, but "it also has to- do with the
issues."
Zapata said though he was not asked
in the interview, he is a Gore support-
er.
"I feel like he hits on my issues for
the most part," he said. "I trust in what
he's doing."
But Zapata said his question will
challenge the Vice President. Zapata
is looking for clarification of the
Vice President's plans on the issues
of higher education and the environ-
ment.
"It's not explained well enough;' he
said. "This is a good opportunity to
find that out."
From an airport in West Virginia,
Rebecca Lieberman, daughter of
Vice Presidential nominee Joe
Lieberman, said that the forum is a
great opportunity for young voters to
get in touch with her father's running
mate.
"I think it's going to be a free-flow-
ing discussion," she said. "Everyone
will get a chance to see what a funny,
warm man he is."
While Kedas said that MTV sug-
gested a topic for students to focus
as they were notified of their par-
ticipation, LSA senior Elizabeth
Jablonski said she was asked to use
her one-liner, which she said is
comparable to the "Boxers or
briefs" question that reverberated
after Clinton's town hall meeting in
1992.
"In one way I was kind of disap-
pointed because I don't get to
sound intelligent on the issues," she
said.

University officials who worked
with Shapiro during his presidency
said he handled the financial crises
correctly.
"I think he was one of the best pres-
idents we had," said former University
regent Deane Baker, who was on the
committee that selected Shapiro as
president.
"He had a camaraderie with the stu-
dents. lie was genuinely interested in
their welfare."
University historian Robert Warner,
also the former dean of the School of
Information, said Shapiro's back-
ground in economics paid off during
his years as president.
"It's very difficult to contract funds,"
Warner said, who was director of the
Bentley Library during Shapiro's pres-
idency.
During Shapiro's presidency at
Princeton, the university's endow-
ment increased from about S2 bil-
lion in 1988 to more than S8 billion
now.
Bollinger said. "My final responsibili-
ty is to see that we're running well."
In response to questions about the
lawsuits challenging the University's
use of race as a factor in undergradu-
ate and Law School admissions,
Bollinger said "all we can do is articu-
late principals of what the University
has stood for for decades."

Senate approves Everglade legislation
WASHINGTON - - The Senate gave overwhelming approval yesterday to wha
lawmakers called the largest environmental restoration project in history - a S7
billion effort expected to take three decades to rescue the Florida Everglades.
The legislation, which must still be taken up by the House, calls for a massiv
federal construction project to restore the historic water flows through the 300
mile long Everglades ecosystem.
Despite bipartisan support in Congress and the White House's backing, t i
measure could still encounter problems in the House with adjournment fas
approaching. Supporters are hoping to speed it to the floor in the next two weeks
If passed, the Everglades rescue is likely to be the only maior environmenta
bill to clear the 106th Congress.
The Everglades project was included in legislation that also authorized tw
dozen various flood control, waterway navigation and environmental restoratio
project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which also will be in charge of th
Everglades restoration.
The bill passed 85-1.
Environmentalists for years have pushed for a comprehensive, long-term pro
gram to repair the damage caused by decades of flood-control efforts that
rupted the Everglades' natural water flow. An estimated half of the ecosystei
