The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Tuesday, March 27, 2007 - 3 NEWS BRIEFS TEHRAN, Iran * Iran questioning British sailors on entering Iran Iran said yesterday it was ques- tioning 15 British sailors and marines to determine if their alleged entry into Iranian waters was "intentional or unintentional" before deciding what to do with them - the first sign that Iran could be seeking a way out of the standoff. The two countries continued to disagree about where the military personnel were seized Friday, with Britain insisting they were in Iraqi waters after searching a civilian cargo vessel and the Tehranregime saying it had proof they were in Ira- nian territory. Britain's Defense Ministry said they were seized in the Shatt al- Arab, a waterway flowing into the Persian Gulf that marks the bor- der between Iran and Iraq. But the dividing line in the waterway, known in Iran as the Arvand river, has long been disputed among the parties. WASHINGTON Gonzales aide to invoke Fifth Amendment Monica Goodling, a senior Jus- tice Department official involved in the firings of federal prosecu- tors, will refuse to answer ques- tions at upcoming Senate hearings, citing Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination, her law- yer said yesterday. "The potential for legal jeopardy for Ms. Goodling from even her most truthful and accurate testi- mony under these circumstances is very real," said the lawyer, John Dowd. WASHINGTON Report: errors, but no wrongdoing in Tillman death The military has found no crim- inal wrongdoing in the friendly fire death of Army Ranger Pat Till- man in Afghanistan, but says there were critical errors in reporting the former NFL star's death and failing to provide details to his family. Army and Defense Department investigators said Monday that officers looking into the incident passed along misleading and inac- curate information and delayed reporting their belief that Tillman was killed by his fellow soldiers. The investigators recommended the Army take action against the officers. Among those blamed were the three-star general in charge of Army special operations as well as Tillman's regimental commander. VIENNA EU, Iran envoys try to find common ground on nukes A top European envoy yesterday renewed an offer from six world powers to talk with Tehran over its nuclear ambitions, and a senior Iranian negotiator agreed to stay in contact in an effort to find common ground. European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana's telephone con- versation with Ali Larijani, Teh- ran's top nuclear negotiator, was the first exchange between the rep- resentatives of Iran and the inter- national community since the U.N. Security Council toughened its anti-Iran sanctions because of the Islamic republic's refusal to freeze uranium enrichment. - Compiled from Daily mire reports FALLEN 83228 TASTE OF ITALY '08 candidates race for cash as deadline nears WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodham Clinton raises nearly $3 million in a single event and hus- band Bill pleads for more. John McCain publicly frets about falling financiallybehind. Withthe firstquarteroffundrais- ingendingSaturday,the presidential campaigns are working overtime to make sure they don't get tagged as losers in the money race. "Money in the off year has never been more important than in this presidential cycle," said Michael Toner, a former Federal Election Commission chairman. In a message to supporters last week, Bill Clinton stressed the importance of posting high fund- raising totals in the first quarter. "The (financial) report her cam- paign files will set the tone for the rest of the year, and it is absolutely critical to her success," he wrote, just days after he headlined a $2.7 million Washington fundraiser for her. Official campaign totals place her fundraising for just last week at $6 million, but that number could underestimate sums raised in New York and California. And by all accounts, the Democratic front- runner will lead all candidates in first-quarter fundraising. Some rival camps, eager toboostexpecta- tions for the New York senator, sug- gest her overall contributions could reach up to $40 million. Campaigning in California, for- mer Sen. John Edwards said nei- ther he nor any other candidate could match Clinton's fundraising juggernaut, but, "I willhave enough money to be heard." Only Clinton's campaign knows the extent of her fundraising. Her main Democratic challengers sim- ply want to stay within reach. "If the press reports that Hillary has raised a lot of money, people are goingto yawn and change the chan- nel - big deal," said Wade Byrd, a North Carolina lawyer and fundrais- er for Edwards. "But if we can stay in the game, now that's news and we're goingto stay inthe game." Sen. Barack Obama is expected to come in behind Clinton, perhaps at about $20 million, helped in part by a significant online donor base. Obama also has attracted big name contributors, including billionaire investor Warren Buffett. Edwards is likely to fall in third place. "I know how hard I am work- ing to raise money and I know how hard people are working to help me raise money," Clinton said in an interview Monday with The Associated Press in Iowa. "... The amount of time we have to spend really undermines the political debate and dialogue. We should be out talking to people." The big numbers will get a boost because several candidates also have been raising money for the gen- eral election campaign, in case they choose to bypass the public financing system.

FORUM From page 1 O'Dell said the main concern with off-campus crimes is home invasions like the one LSA junior Sabrina Shingwani experienced shortly before Spring Break. Shingwani was sitting in her room studying in her house on Elm Street when someone walked into her house and stole a backpack from her living room. There was a laptop inside the backpack. The thief then walked upstairs and took an iPod, camera and another laptop from the room right next door to the one Shingwani was sitting in. Shingwani said she and her roommates narrowed down the time of the break in to within an hour - the time between when one of her roommates left and another returned. Shingwani said that before the break-in, she, her nine roommates and their friends often came in and out of her house throughoutthe day. Now Shingwani said she and her nine roommates now take extra precautions in securing their home, even when they're in it. "Our door is never unlocked," she said. O'Dell said the AAPD began sending e-mails to the student body as reminders before breaks to remind them to secure their homes. Keeping students informed is always a struggle, Brown said. In light of the reported rape and the break-in at her house, Shin- gwani said she is concerned about walking home late at night. "When I'm alone I don't feel safe anymore," she said. "I get para- noid." Shingwani raised her concern regarding lighting for students who live off-campus. She said that although she thinks Elm Street is well-lit, the area she will be mov- ing to next year near Packard Street and Greenwood Avenue next year is poorly lit. O'Dell said that the "existing lighting meets standards," and that the city doesn't have any additional money to spend on lighting. "Lighting off campus will never be as good ason campus," he said.
