Phelps makes no apologies for his strong rhetoric and tactics, which included picketing at the funeral of college student Matthew Shepard after he was beaten to death in a hate-crime in 1999. "Dying time is truth time - if people ever do think about such matters, it's dying time," Phelps said. Last night's airing of the a made-for-ielevision movie on MTV about Shepard also angere1 Phelps, and he plans to protest outside MTV studios in New York later this month. He expects to incense people who do not agree with him, and that at a recent protest someone drove a car at some of his followers. "Almost every (protest) results in some kind of violence or criminal arrests," he said. Phelps plans specifically to protest LGBT's "Kiss-in" on the Diag on Feb. 16, and said his lawyers will likely request that the University's Department of Public Safety provide I oyance that special interest groups opposed to croft had gained access to opposition research on done by the late Goy.

It is not sending the signal of bipartisanship that's disappointing," Bush spokesman An Fleis- r said. I'm not in the vote counting business. But we're 'y confident that Senator Ashcroft will be con- ned,' Fleischer said. n the nation's capital for two days, Bush and his onal security team received a top-secret Pentagon fng on military challenges around the world.

Tutwiler, a close associate of former Secretary of State James A. Baker Ill, will serve as an unpaid con- sultant for 90 days to adv\ise the new administration on communications planning and strategy, a transition announcement said. Fleischer did not rule out an announcement by Bush before he returns to Texas today on a replacement for Chavez, or names for several other top posts yet to be filled, including that of U.N. ambassador, U.S. trade representative and CIA director. On the labor post, Fleischer said, "In some sense, we are back to square one. But, in another sense, there are a lot of people that he knows, knows well and is look- ing at-a number of people." Bush aides said he may take his time making a decision, concerned that announcing a replacement for Chavez too soon would open him to criticism that he was rushing the review process that failed him in her case. It was not known whether other candidates were being interviewed, though Bush's pattern has been to interview only his top candidate as a last step toward nominating the person. Anderson, who had met with Bush previously, is best known for her work on welfare reform. She served under Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, Bush's pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services. t yet," DPS CODE reason to Continued from Page 1A Ad look at" biggest question to answer when choos- ing this code is "Does this code make to pay for sense as a University of Michigan code", ht Lutheran Though the code was recommended test, claim- to be added to all future contracts, the s an intern committee still will advise Bollinger about future issues concerning labor g with the standards.

The committee ultimately voted 0-5 with four abstentions and 3-5 with one abstention to recommend to Bollinger that the code of conduct set forth under Fair Labor Act and the Colle- giate Licensing Company respectively did not meet the standards set forth by the University. Though the votes did not necessarily mean the committee is for or against any organization, it does mean they do not feel that the codes of conduct as they are set forth now fulfill the stan- dards needed to protect workers' rights. Furthermore, in a third vote the committee decided the code of con- duct endorsed by the Workers' Rights Consortium did meet the minimal standards for the University to consid- er it as fulfilling the workers' needs.

The National Taxpayers Union estimated Clinton's lifetime pension pa t based on an insurance actuarial formula that predicts that someone of his e, health and profession should live to the age of 82. His first year out of office, Clinton's pension check will total S161,200, the tax policy group said in a report scheduled for release Thursday. Clinton earns S200,000 a year as president. Congress voted last year to double that salary wpn the next president takes office, so George W Bush will receive 5400,000 a year.. If Bush, now 54, serves four years, his projected lifetime pension payout would be S6.6 million. The estimate is lower than that for Clinton because Bush would be older when he leaves office. The taxpayers' group did not estimate what Bush's pension would be if he serves two terms. Even though Vice President Al Gore lost to Bush, lie, too, will receive a hefty pension - 55.96 million if he lives to the age of 81, the taxpayers' group mated. His first year on the pension plan, his check will be S94,800. G e receives a pension under the congressional pension plan based on his eight years as vice president and 16 years in Congress.
