2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, November 21, 1995 Federalt park official wo stayed onjoYi awvaitsphlshret{;.4 DETROIT (AP) - A federal park superintendent who defied his superi- ors and stayed on the job during the government's partial shutdown doesn't expect to find out if or how he'll be punished until next week or later. And his boss said yesterday that there might be no disciplinary action against Bill Fink, superintendent of the Keweenaw National 1listorical Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. "I haven't reached a conclusion that I'm going to punish him yet," said Wil- liam Schenk, Midwest field director in the Omaha, Neb., office of the National Park Service. Fink became a minor celebrity last week when he urged other federal em- ployees to follow his lead and keep working during a partial government shutdown caused by a battle over fed- eral debt and spending legislation. The shutdown, which idled "nones- sential" government workers, ended yesterday. Fink was still on the job in Calumet, working on development plans for the fledgling park that will com- memorate the area's copper mining heritage. "Initially my boss was saying that he might well have to remove me from this job as superintendent, either tempo- rarily or permanently," Fink said. But the last time he talked to Schenk, "the nature of the conversations had im- proved significantly." Schenk would not discuss Fink's situ- ation in specifics. But he said any case of alleged improper action by a Park Service employee would prompt a re- view. "If there are actions dictated by our findings, we would go forward with them," he said. Fink said his work-in was a personal gesture to "regain honor for federal employees." "My whole purpose has been trying to do something in a public way to reinforce the trust of the American people in federal employees," he said. "I wanted to stand up and say 'Please care about us, please understand that we want to serve you."' As news of his action spread, he heard from a number of"nonessential" NA~iONAL rE'PORT V Sen. Kassebaum retring after three terms WASHINGTON - Republican Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, a University alum, is going home to Kansas next year after three terms in which she won respect as an independent and thoughtful legislator. Kassebaum, one of a shrinking number of GOP moderates in Congress, will depart at the height of her career as chair of the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, with jurisdiction over job training, health, the arts and other issues. She is the only woman who chairs a Senate committee. "My reason for this decision is very simple and purely personal," Kassebaum said yesterday, announcing her deci- sion in Topeka, Kan. "I believe the time has come for me to leave the Senate and pursue other challenges, including the challenge of being a grandmother." Kassebaum, 63, has five grandchildren. She and Colorado Sen. Hank Brown are the only Republican senators who have Kassebaum announced plans to retire in 1996. Her decision will set off a scramble for a successor on both the Republican and Democratic sides.

Republicans seized on comments from White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta yesterday morning that the ad- ministration agreed to balance the bud- get "in seven years or eight years" ifthe agreement protects the president's pri- orities as an indication that Clinton was backing away from the deal. "This is not a goal, this is not an objective," said Rep..David M. McIn- tosh (R-Ind.). "This is a solid contract between the House, the Senate and the president.... It's a sacred agreement." By signing the interim spending bill, Clinton "will have morally bound him- self to a written contract with the Ameri- can people," Gingrich told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. On Sunday, Clinton and House GOP leaders agreed that by Jan. 3 they would enact legislation to balance the budget by 2002, using the nonpartisan Con- gressional Budget Office's economic assumptions. The agreement, part of the short-term spending bill, also says the balanced-budget plan would "pro- vide adequate funding for" such Clinton priorities as Medicaid, education and the environment. GOP freshmen claimed credit for forcing Clinton's agreement to their time frame. "We finally made the presi- dent understand he had to balance the budget in seven year ... by sticking to our position," said Rep. Sonny Bono (R-Calif.). Democrats emphasized the provisions that stressed the president's priorities. "My Republican friends have finally acknowledged that Medicare, Medicaid, education and the environ- ment are important," said Rep. Kenneth E. Bentsen (D-Texas). The agreement was greeted with cheers by GOP governors meeting in Nashua, N.H. - and a few words of caution. unree + The Michigan League A Campus Tradition since 1929 911 North University 764-0446 A Division of Student Affairs Woman's desire for baby led to gruesome murders ADDISON, Ill. - Jacqueline Will- iams told friends she was going to have a baby -even though she wasn't pregnant. It was that desire for a baby, police say, that led Williams, her boyfriend and another man to murder a pregnant woman, slice open her belly with scis- sors and pluck out a healthy boy who was due to be born yesterday. Two of the woman's three children also were killed. Hours later, Williams' boyfriend told a relative that she had given birth to a son. "This is unimaginable," said Joe Birkett, chief of criminal prosecution for the DuPage County state's attorney. "You could not give a horror writer a better script. This puts 'Natural Born Killers' to shame in terms of violence." A judge yesterday ordered the three held without bond on charges of murder and aggravated kidnapping. They could face the death penalty if convicted.

Doku Zavgayev, Moscow's top Chechen appointee in Chechnya since Nov. 1, escaped with minor facial cuts, but five ofhis bodyguards suffered more serious injuries from the remote-con- trolled blast in Grozny, capital of the southern republic. It was the third attempt to kill a Rus- sian leader or surrogate in Chechnya since separatist rebels signed a partial peace accord with President Boris Yeltsin's government July 30. Talks on a full settlement that would define Chechnya's political status, and lead to an election of new leaders, have col- lapsed and fighting has intensified. The bombing appeared to be aimed at stopping elections of a Chechen presi- dent and Parliament that the Russian side has scheduled unilaterally for Dec. 17.

FDA reforms may boost biotech profits Biotechnology executives around the nation are breathing a lot easier these days about big up-front investments now that the Food and Drug Adminis- tration has revamped a host of regula- tions governing the industry. The FDA reforms, which many iii the industry consider the most significant and sweeping in 50 years, were man- nounced earlier this month. ,. Company executives and industry ex- perts say the reforms taking effect over the next few months should cut down dramatically on the time and cost ofget- tingnew biotechnology-derivedrugsinto clinical trials and eventually to market. Currently the average cost of taking a drug from lab to market is $150 million. that no voting will take place "until the last Russian invader has left." Zavgayev told reporters after the blast that the vote will go ahead as planned, along with Russia-wide election of a national Parliament. Di says she wanted marriage to work LONDON - Princess Diana desper- ately wanted her marriage with Prince Charles to succeed, in part because of the painful separation ofher own parents, she said in an interview broadcast yesterday. "I desperately wanted it to work. I desperately loved my husband and I wanted to share everything with him, and I thought we were a very good team," she told the BBC in her first public comments about her private life. Diana said she had been bulimic, and that she had "escaped" from her marriage into a cycle of binge eating and vomiting. "It was a symptom ofwhat wasgoing on in my marriage. I was crying for help, but I was giving the wrong signals," she said. Prince Charles, who formally sepa- rated from Diana in December 1992 after 11 years of marriage, was reported to be at his home in Gloucestershire.. - From Daily wire services NIKE Continued from Page 1. 500 companies, each of which may make a different item and many of those busi- nesses are relatively small. Nike and other large shoe and ap- parel makers, such as Reebok, have the national orientation, advertising budgets and marketing savvy to help colleges sell more goods in more places. Nike posted sales of about $5.2 billion during the 12 months ending Sept. 30, and $50 million of that came from its two-year effort to sell authen- tic college team apparel - the items worn by players and coaches during games that have become increasingly popular with fans. LSA Classical Studies Prof. David Ross said he opposes the Nike contract and the commercializing of collegiate athletics in general. "I think it stinks. I think it's crass commercialism. It's ab- solutely crass. "Why does a university want to get involved in this kind on money? Al- ready the football programs are much, much, much too big. The entire athletic department is far too big.... It's all about money and commercialism," Ross said. "To pretend we're not commercial is absolutely silly," Roberson said. We charge 100,000 people roughly 25 bucks a head to get into the stadium and we sell them everything we can possibly sell them, and then we try to pretend we're not commercial." School officials say these arrange- ments are matters ofnecessity. In a time of increasing costs, they are attempting - or, in some cases, being forced by Title IX, the law that prohibits sex dis- crimination in athletic programs at fed- erally funded schools - to add pro- grams for women without cutting pro- grams for men. Seven of the 10 schools that have all-sports pacts with Nike or Reebok are ranked among the top 25 in this week's Associated Press football poll; two others are ranked among the top 20 in this week's AP men's basketball poll.
