2 - The Michigan Daily - Friday, December 1, 1995 Nwrlom/wowa.,..) Clinton urges unity in troubled N. Ireland BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) - President Clinton visited violence- scarred neighborhoods on both sides of Northern Ireland's long conflict yester- day, celebrating a successful 15-month cease-fire and declaring, "Surely there can be no turning back." The first American President ever to come to the troubled province, Clinton implored Roman Catholics and Protestants alike not to surrender to the impulses of "old habits and hard grudges." There was a poignant reminder of the horror of the past and the promise of the future when Catherine Hamill, a9-year- old Catholic schoolgirl, shyly read a letter to the President: "My first daddy died in the troubles. President addresses factory workers It was the saddest day of my life. I still think of him. Now it is nice and peace- ful." Her father was slain by gunmen who burst into his home and shot him in front of his family in 1987. In his main speech ofthe day, Clinton addressed several thousand people at Mackie Metal Plant, located along a "peace line," a wall of steel and stone dividing Catholic and Protestant neigh- borhoods. The plant's workforce is mixed but mostly Protestant. Everyone is instructed to leave their politics at the door. "You must stand firm against terror," Clinton urged. "You must say to those who still would use violence for politi- cal objectives: 'You are the past. Your day is over."' Clinton's peace appeals were loudly applauded, though a lone heckler, Cedric Wilson, twice called out, "Never." Wilson is aligned with Prot- estant firebrand Ian Paisley, leader of the most extreme pro-British party, the Democratic Unionist Party. Nearly 3,000 officers were put on duty to protect Clinton during his 24- hour stay. Dozens of roads were closed, sewers were searched and sealed, and metal detectors were erected in Clinton's Belfast hotel, bombed 37 times since d I Read the Daily,, Refligious Services AVAVAVAVA LORD OF LIGHT LUTHERAN CHURCH Lutheran Campus Ministry (ELCA) 801 S.

Clinton's visit was designed to build momentum in the peace process and a sense of accomplishment in the cease- fire. The journey - with a stop today in Dublin - also had political reverbera- tions for Clinton, since 44 million Americans claim some Irish ancestry. Arriving here on the heels of a break- through agreement between London and Dublin on Northern Ireland, Clinton stopped first in a hard-line Protestant neighborhood, where he bought apples and flowers for his wife, Hillary. FACULTY Continued from Page 1. But Montalvo said the current chal- lenge is to keep minority faculty at the University once they have arrived on campus. "Wehave an enormous problem with minority retention," Montalvo said. "I think many members of minorities that have been on our faculty have not stayed as long as they could have." Monts said that the University must create a climate where minority faculty members feel comfortable working. "There are some faculty who leave the University becausethey'don't like the atmosphere, but ther are also a number who leave for other reasons," Monts said. Brewer said that minority increases are not reflected in every school at the University. "Some schools have had a dramatic increase, others have not, like the School of Medicine," he said.

But Demo- crats renewed their call for an independent counsel to inves- tigate Gingrich's wide-ranging political activities. "This is the smoking gun," House Minority Whip David Bonior (D-Mich.) said of the FEC report, issued Wednesday. Gingrich denied that GOPAC, the organization he then chaired, had provided him the funds five years ago. "No, they did not. They explicitly did not," he told reporters during a Gingrich brief encounter. "It is totally phony. That should answer all the questions you have," Gingrich said. "It is phony. How can I make it clear? The word phony should get it across to you. The FEC allegations are phony." The FEC alleges that GOPAC spent more than $500,000 to help GOP congres- sional candidates in 1989-90 - including at least $250,000 for Gingrich's re- election campaign - at a time when the committee was prohibited from influenc- ing federal elections, according to court records released Wednesday.

Laser may take fled ries been SEATTLE - Rain slackened and river levels inched downward all around a sodden western Washington state yes- terday as residents and officials began to take stock of damage from wide- spread flooding after three days of drenching rains. But most rivers continued to be under a flood warning, and down- stream communities defended their ground with massive sandbagging campaigns. In the town of Mount Vernon, popu- lation 30,000, hundreds of high school students and others laid down 175,000 sandbags to keep out the cresting Skagit River. It appeared to be work- in g. Washington Gov. Mike Lowry has declared emergencies in 16 counties and put the National Guard on alert to assist in flood operations. Nearly 600 people sought out Red Cross shelters in nine counties Wednesday night, but many times that Aristide plans to step down Feb. 7 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti - Presi- dent Jean-Bertrand Aristide shut the door yesterday on the possibility of remaining in office past his constitutionally man- dated term, saying the impression he would not step down was a misunder- standing and presidential efections will proceed as planned on Dec. 17. He also said that if international eco- nomic aid was cut, the United States would face an increased tide of fleeing boat people. Aristide said the U.S. Coast Guard's apprehension at sea of 1,000 Haitian boat people in the past week, more than the total for the previous 12 months, was a "warning sign" that the international community should not slacken the flow of aid to the impover- ished nation. He said all those who were fleeing were "economic refugees." Although Aristide recently appeared to hint that he would not step down as scheduled on Feb. 7, he said had not intended to give that impression. The president said the misunderstanding stemmed from his reluctance to risk polarizing the nation by publicizing his decision to leave office in the face of defense into future WASHINGTON - "Arm the phasers" is a battle command that Pen- tagon officials believe will soon move out of the realm of science fiction. Underan ambitious $5-billion program that is supposed to revolutionize warfare much as gunpowderonce did, some ofthe top scientists in the United States are working on a high-energy chemical laser that would shoot lethal beams a few hun- dred miles to knock out enemy missiles. The 100,000-pound laser, carried in- side a Boeing 747 jet , would be power- ful enough to destroy targets in about three seconds- forcing missile wreck- age and any warhead to drop back onto the enemy launch site. Guiding the beam would be a com-. puter-controlled mirror that could ad- just its shape thousands of times a sec- ond to offset atmospheric distortion between the weapon and the target. demands by his most fervent followers to stay three more years. Aristide's handpicked successor, Rene Preval, is likely to win an easy victory in the 14-candidate field. Hostage situation tests Mdeast peace JERUSALEM - Israel's army sus- pended its troop redeployment on the West Bank yesterday for 24 hours after gunmen from PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction freed two Israeli border policemen they kidnapped and held overnight. The incident in the West Bank town of Janin kept high-level teams of Israe- lis and Palestinians working through the night to avoid a breakdown in the complex security arrangements being made as part of Israel's military pull- back in the region. Israeli and Palestinian security offi- cials blamed each other for the incident. The Palestinians accused Israel of fail- ing to advise them of their movements and the Israelis blamed the Palestinians for failing to disarm groups operating outside the police force. - From Daily wire service I REICHAN7 RECORS seqeior :.' l'real music 1 phone: 663.5800 1140 south university (above goodtime chadeys), AA 1 mon.-thurs.: 9:00a-10:00p ' sundays fri. & sat.: 9:00x-11:00p ll:ooa-s:00P I '" ' f l 1 11 1 1 1 I {; S_ _ _II III Im)Aa'c"II~. 119'1S...I 1'- ITI Sonic Youth Washing Machinm fn4in whIt z i a so§rt~ 111 SERVICES, * Accounting Majors e Finance Majors * Business Majors count on Kelly Smrim ~for diallegingu adrewding aeropp orutia.We S hive a vaiety of Acwuinj/Fmnc poitionsvilable with Fdwx 50 ad other anie .
