2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 26, 2000 NATION!WORLD 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. MTV Continued from Page 1 "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.

Fleming served as president from 1968 to 1979 and as interim president in 1988. "I was so impressed by his abilities," Fleming said. He added that he was not surprised that Princeton selected Shapiro as its leader, Shapiro's days as the leader of the University came during a time of decreasing state funding and he responded by allocating less money for certain programs including the School of Education and the School of Natural Resources. He also dissolved the geography department during his tenure. Many students and faculty protested his moves at the time. Others protested the drop in minority enrollment during his term.

"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."

ACROSS THE NATION 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.
