2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 25, 2001 NATION/WORLD 4 Israeli woman killed in ambush The Baltimore Sun JERUSALEM - Until dawn yesterday, truce talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority seemed as if they might finally take place. No guns had been fired by either side for 12 hours. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon even acknowledged the possibility that the Palestinians would one day have their own state. That period of hope ended shortly after dawn when Palestinian gunmen ambushed a car in the Jor- dan Valley, killing an Israeli woman and wounding her husband. The militant group Islamic Jihad, which opposes talks between the two sides, claimed responsibility for the attack. The cease-fire meeting - that was canceled Sun- day by Israel hours before it was about to take place - was canceled yet again yesterday. Officials said such a meeting is now unlikely before late Thursday, the end of Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement that begins at sundown Wednesday. Sharon said through a spokesman that the 48 hours of "absolute quiet" that he has said must precede any meeting between Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat had to start again from zero. On Sunday, "for the first time, there were signs Arafat was making an effort to thwart terror. But this morning there was another shooting attack," Sharon told visiting French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine yesterday. "The meeting between Peres and Arafat was conditional on the total cessation of terror attacks." The latest delay comes despite U.S. officials' urg- ing that the Peres-Arafat meeting go forward to help smooth the way for including Arab states in a U.S.-, led anti-terrorism coalition. The talks' on-again-off-again status has become an obvious source of tension between Sharon, who believes a meeting should be a reward for ending the violence, and Peres, who believes a meeting is the way to end the violence. HIJACKERS Continued from Page 1. vice workers and mechanics. Initially, FAA officials said the order had been given. But late yes- terday, the agency said it was still! considering the idea and hadn't for- mally acted. The agency has asked airports and airlines to make sure that identification badges used by employees with secure access are valid. In Florida, court records in Broward County showed one of the 19 hijack suspects was wanted on an arrest warrant at the time of the attacks. A bench warrant was issued June 4 for Mohamed Atta for failing to appear in court on a charge of dri- ving without a license. Atta's Florida driver's license was revoked on Aug. 23. "There's over 200,000 warrants in the system,' county sheriff's spokes- woman Veda Coleman-Wright said. "So naturally, you're going to make sure you're going out and getting those wanted for murder. This is not one that's going to jump out at you." In Virginia, an FBI affidavit filed in federal court alleged that as many as five hijackers - Hani Hanjour, Salem Al-Hamzi, Majed Moqed, Ahmed Saleh Alghamdi and Abdu- laziz Alomari - went to the Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles in Arlington, Va., on Aug. 2. All five were at the office that day to "conduct transactions relating to Virginia identification cards," the affidavit said. The affidavit alleges that Villalo- bos and a second man - his identity not revealed because he is a confi- dential witness - signed identity papers for the hijackers. DRAFT Continued from Page 1 According to the Selective Service System, the agency responsible -for administering the draft, if the draft was reinstated today there would be fewer reasons to excuse a man from service. Also, if the draft was put back into effect, the military would continue to only draft men. "If women were not and had not been joining the Army at the rate they have been in the past years, they might have had to reinstate the draft before now," Marwil said. "Some years have more volunteers than others," Marwil said, adding that the number of recruits is somewhat dependent on the state of the economy. If the economy is doing well, young people may be less-inclined to join the army because of high-paying job opportunities. Marwil said that with such a pros- pering economy during the past few years, the armed forces have had some trouble with recruiting. However, the number of people interested in applications for the armed forces nationwide has increased in the past two weeks, said Commander Jef- frey Babos, the executive officer of the University's Reserve Officers Training Corps. unit. Babos said that a military draft is not likely to happen. "They have active and inactive reserves and guard per- sonnel," he said, referring to the resources available to the U.S. armed forces. "I don't see (a draft) as a plau- sible scenario," he said. Reeds said she is currently thinking about joining the military after graduat- ing to help finance her law school edu- cation. "I'm still thinking about it, but in a different light with what's hap- pened and what may happen," she said. "I know I would never be mobilized, so I don't have that fear, but just being in the military when we're involved in something like this gives you pause to think," she said. LSA senior Ha Nguyen said his sup- port for the government and President Bush has increased within the past weeks, but that would change if the draft was reinstated. NEWS IN BRIEF HEADLINES FROM4 AROUND THE WORLD s Y- NEW YORK Wall Street rebounds, but still unstable Stocks surged higher yesterday, carrying the Dow Jones industrials up more than 360 points, as bargain hunters returned to help Wall Street rebound from one of its worst weeks ever. But the market remained extremely nervous, and no one was betting that the gains would hold. Investors will be wary of making or sticking by any major moves until it's clearer how the government will retaliate for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, ana- lyst said. They are also trying to determine how much and for how long the economy will suffer. The economic impacts of the attacks have already been felt as companies have warned of weaker profits and laid off thousands of workers as they expect consumers to spend and borrow less and take fewer vacations. According to preliminary calculations, the Dow closed yesterday up 367.49, or 4.5 percent, at 8,603.30, after dropping 1,369.70 last week, its biggest-ever weekly decline. The Dow was up as much as 413.51 in the last hour yesterday before giving back some of its gain, which was still large enough to be the blue chips' fifth largest daily point gain. Like the Dow, the market's broader indicators bounced back after falling sharply last week, the first week of trading following the attacks, to their lowest levels in three years. The Nasdaq composite index rose 75.85, or 5.3 percent, to 1,499.04. BROOKWOOD, Ala. Mine explosion kills at least 3; 9 missing An explosion in a coal mine killed at least three miners and left nine others missing and feared dead, a spokesman said. If the deaths are con- firmed, it would be the worst mining accident in the United States since 1984. Some of the victims were volunteer rescue team members who went into the mine, the nation's-deepest, after a cave-in. Four people were injured in the Blue Creek No. 5 mine, one critically, said Kyle Parks, spokesman for Walter Industries. Federal mine safety officials suspended rescue operations Monday because of fires still burning inside the mine, said Dennis Hall, a spokesman for company subsidiary Jim Walter Resources Inc. A cave-in happened Sunday during maintenance operations at the mine 36 miles southwest of Birmingham. said Parks. corporate communications director for the company based in Tampa, Fla. Hall said 25 to 30 workers were performing maintenance work in the mine at the time of the cave-in. ASSETS' Continued from Page 1. has a personal fortune estimated at $300 million. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said the order should send a message to any- one who does business with terrorists: "Cooperate in this fight or we will freeze your U.S. assets." Administration officials acknowl- edged that the immediate impact of Bush's executive order is hard to gauge. "It may be an imperfect solution ... but it is necessary to start with the documented, recorded international banking system," said David Aufhauser, the Treasury Department's general counsel. One of the big challenges is track- ing money that moves through an underground banking system in the Middle East and parts of Asia, where large amounts of cash change hands in a paperless network based on personal trust. In addition to bin Laden, the admin- istration's list names Ayman al- Zawahri, a Cairo surgeon believed by terrorism experts to be bin Laden's top deputy. Al-Zawahri, a suspect in the 1981 assassination of Egyptian Presi- dent Anwar Sadat, is believed to be operating in Afghanistan, as is bin Laden. Also listed are the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the Libyan Islamic Fighting group, the Armed Islamic Group and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, a little-known group that Bush men- tioned in his address to Congress and the nation last week. The United States is seeking per- mission to deploy U. S. forces in Uzbekistan, which borders Afghanistan to the north. Its president, Islam Karimov, has been fighting the group. Bush's order listed three charitable organizations that the government said are funding terrorist acts: Mukhtab al-Khidamat/Al Kifah, Wafa Humanitarian Organization and Al Rashid Trust. RESI DENTS Continued from Page 1 Connie Burke, a former Universi- ty student, met her husband while at school and decided to stay in Ann Arbor after graduation. "For the most part it's a positive place to be. We still love football Sat- urday and being around young people. Sometimes it's even nice to be relied upon," Burke said. As far as partying goes, she said she doesn't mind the noise as long as it is limited to the weekend. In the 20 years Burke and her husband have lived on Fourth Avenue, they have only made a few complaints to police, and in all cases, they did so after asking the stu- dents to comply first, she said. Burke also said she sees more alcohol con- sumption in recent years then ever before. For students who live next door to families, having late parties seems to be their only concern. "There is one guy who lives on the corner who warned us to wrap up our party before two," said Elodie Baquerot, an LSA sophomore who lives on Divi- sion Avenue. "He was nice about it but whenever we throw a party we have to keep himin mind." One almost trivial issue many older Ann Arbor residents have with students has nothing to do with disrespectful behavior. "I share my driveway with the kids next door and every year their cars are nicer then mine." Burke said. "Look at all of these sport utility vehi- cles outside of the fraternities. It's impractical. They could easily walk or bike to their classes from here. I bike to my classes," Evans said. PILL Continued from Page 1 drinking increases to two extra pills after six drinks and another two pills after three or four hours of drinking. The makers of Chaser, Living Essentials of Walled Lake in Oakland County, suggest not drinking more than six drinks. Also, the pill must be ingested before drinking, so immediate relief for hangovers isn't guaranteed by the medicine. "Two radio stations, 96.3 and 88.7, have been advertising it all summer," LSA senior Trevor King said. "I was the advocate for it to all my friends, but all the buzz about it fizzled." "Two capsules work for up to six drinks. I wouldn't have a hangover if I just had six drinks," one LSA student said. "And I wouldn't want to take pills every three or four hours. Besides, I think I know what works best for me." "I tried an orange, 'buzzer' drink that helped-my headache a little bit, but I could still feel the hangover," a Business junior added. "And the pill did the same thing." These students did not want their 'names used in this article because they are under 21. Since Chaser is a dietary supple- ment, clinical tests to prove its effec- tiveness were not required of its producer, which asserts that 15 years of development for the pill confirm its efficacy. Since many doctors have not heard about the over-the-counter solu- tion, the pill's true benefits aren't cer- tain. "Even if it works, it promotes fur- ther drinking," said Dr. Robert Win- field, interim director and internal medicine specialist at-University Health Services. "When drinking excessively, the harm to oneself can include liver dam- age." Winfield expressed his concern for students' taking the pills as a means to continue drinking, a habit that Living Essentials advises against. "I wouldn't try a pill that isn't shown to be helpful. I'll stay with tak- ing Advil with lots of water" said one Kinesiology student. cQAe AN JOSE, Calif. apster agrees to pay music publishers Napster Inc. yesterday agreed to pay $26 million for distributing unautho- rized music in the past and made a deal that could eventually allow song- writers and music publishers to offer their music to paling Napster users. The tentative agreement would settle a lawsuit filed by the National Music Pub- lishers' Association. It must be approved by a judge, the association's board of directors and individual publishers. Napster allowed users to swap music online at no cost until it shut down July 2. The company was expected to begin allowing users this summer to get songs for a fee, but Napster chief executive Konrad Hilbers said yesterday the pay service will start later this year. 'The free service shut down after Napster was sued to stop users from collecting copyrighted music without permission. NEW YORK Actors, singers raise $150M from telethon Appeals by Hollywood actors and. musicians during an unprecedented telethon last week generated more than $150 million in pledges to benefit fami- lies of the World Trade Center and Pen- tagon attack victims. The money will be distributed through the United Way with no administrative costs deducted, organizers said yesterday. The pledges were made through 7 a.m. yesterday to a website or to tele- phone numbers staffed by more than 38,000 volunteers and automated oper- ators in the United States and Canada. "America: A Tribute to Heroes" was shown on 35 broadcast and cable net- works simultaneously Friday and was seen by almost 60 million viewers. By contrast, the Live Aid concerts and Band Aid all-star Christmas recording during the 1980s raised a reported $110 million in relief for African famine victims. WASHINGTON Alcohol-related car accidents increase The number of people killed by drunken drivers increased last year for the first time in five years, according to federal data released yesterday. Overall highway deaths increased slightly in 2000 to 41,812, up from 41,717 in 1999, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Forty percent of those, or 16,653, involved alcohol, up from 38 percent, or 15,976, the previous year. It is only the second time alcohol- related deaths have increased since 1986, when 24,045 people were killed. The number of deaths rose 4 percent from 1994 to 1995; although an. over- all rise in the number of deaths kept the percentage of deaths that involved alcohol at the same level. Over the past two decades, auto safety advocates have pushed successfully for tougher impaired-driving laws and made drinking and driving a social taboo. - Compiled from Daily wire reports.
