2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 10, 1995 er Quake hits Mexico's Pacific coast, kils at least 30 MANZANILLO, Mexico (AP)-- A powerful earthquake shook Mexico's Pacific coast yesterday, toppling two resort hotels, cracking homes and bridges and killing at least 30 people, authorities said. At least 90 others were reported in- jured. The 7.6-magnitude quake - felt as far north as Oklahoma City - was the second powerful tremor to hit Mexico in a month. All of the known dead were in coastal communities in the Pacific states of Jalisco and Colima. "The injured are everywhere," said Livas de la Garza, a textile shop owner in the popular resort of Manzanillo, one of the hardest-hit areas. The quake struck at 9:37 a.m. and was centered underwater three miles south of the angled Pacific coast near Manzanillo. The U.S. Geological Sur- vey put the epicenter of the quake 15 'mniles east-southeast of Manzanillo and ;about 335 miles west of Mexico City. The tremor lasted about two minutes and was followed by two small after- shocks. The quake opened fissures up to a foot wide in the main coastal highway. Rescuers, clearing rubble with bull- dozers and cranes, pulled 12 bodies and 0 injured people from the Costa Real hotel in Manzanillo. Red Cross workers and sailors from the nearby port crawled over the wreck- age of the hotel, which resembled gar- gantuan dominoes pushed over by a gi- ant. Red roof tiles were scattered around. The lawn area alongside the hotel swimming pool had been turned into a temporary morgue, where four bodies coveredby sheets lay side by side. Nearby was a small white coffin, obviously in- tended for a child. Rescue workers took another body away in an ambulance. A strong aftershock startled the blue- masked rescue workers, who still la- bored with picks and shovels at sunset. "The rescue is going to be difficult," Navy Adm. Manuel Barron told the Mexican TV network Televisa. "Sounds have been heard. We think there are more people in the rubble." At least 30 guests were registered at the hotel and 27 employees were work- ing, the Notimex news agency said. It was not clear how many were in the building when the quake hit. The temblor cut telephone service and electricity to many areas, including the resort itself. Authorities canceled flights to Manzanillo, citing runway damage. A state of emergency was declared in Jalisco, where President Ernesto Zedillo sent five Cabinet members to assess the damage and coordinate a military emer- gency plan. "I regret this loss of human life," Zedillo said before flying as scheduled yesterday to Washington for his first state visit. "We are doing all we can to provide aid and rescue services to pos- sible victims." Zedillo said he had ordered military and civil defense workers to coordinate an emergency response, workers to re- pair damaged highways and inspectors to checkport facilities forpossible quake damage. Americans share Nobel Medicine Prize STOCKHOLM - Two Americans and a German won the Nobel Prize for medicine yesterday for studies of how genes control early embryo development - research that should help explain some birth defects and miscarriages. Working with fruit flies,the three scientists identifiedgenes that do the very earliest organizing to create a body and investigated how genetic master switches later produce spe- cialized features like wings and legs. The principles they found also apply to people, and counter- parts of the fruit fly genes have been found in humans. The winners are Edward B. Lewis, 77, at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif.; Eric F. Wieschaus, Lewis 48, of Princeton University; and Christiane Nuesslein-Volhard, 52, at the Max-Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Tuebingen, Germany They will share the prize, worth $1 million this year, and will be honored Dec 10 at a ceremony in Stockholm with the other laureates chosen this year. Nusslein-Volhard and Wieschaus worked together and first published thei results in 1980. Lewis, whose research began in the 1940s, worked independentl: and summarized his results in a 1978 paper.

ResearChers transplant isulin celsin"mice WASHINGTON - In what may be a step toward curing diabetes, research- ers report successfully transplanting insulin-producing cells between unre- lated mice by tricking the immune sys- tem into accepting the foreign tissue. Dr. Aldo A. Rossini, director of dia- betes care at the University of Massa- chusetts Medical Center in Worcester, Mass., said the technique showed insu- lin-producing pancreatic islets could be transplanted without using anti-rejec- tion drugs, which carry the risk of seri- ous side effects. A report on the study will be pub- lished today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Rossini said the transplant technique involves shots of white blood cells, made from the donor mice, and injec- tions ofa substance called anti-CD40L. Together, these shots train the immune system of the receiving mouse to toler- ate the transplanted pancreatic islets. For those getting the shots, 37 of 40 mice showed no sign of rejecting th insulin-producing cells that had bee transplanted from an unrelated type c mouse. The transplanted ,cells mad insulin and arrested the diabetes in th mice. FDA OKs stronger OTCpner ROCKVILLE, Md.

"But there was really no viable alternative. We conducted our search with a certain set of circumstances, kniowing that there was an experienced president who would be around for a few years. Now that that has changed, and we don't know who the president will be, we could not even guarantee that anyone would accept the position." Warner said one of the five candidates the committee had been considering dropped outafterleamingofDuderstadt's resignation, but that the other four were still waiting to see what would happen. He also saidthe committee had nothing to do with appointing Machen and that they had merely notified Duderstadt that they were ending their search. Baker said the four remaining candi- dates have been notified that the search has been canceled. "Dr. Machen had not wanted to be a candidate at the beginning of the search, so we were in no way examining him as a possible provost," Warner said. "His name had come up frequently at the be- ginning, but he did not express interest in the position atthat time. We cancelled the search and President Duderstadt recom- mended Machen to the regents." Machen dispelled rumors that he was in line for the permanent provost posi- tior{ (I am still not a candidate for the posit:on of provost under the new presi- dent," Machen said. "I feel good about being in the position for this period of transition, "I did not ask for this position, I was asked by a lot of people to take it," he said. "I miss working as dean of the Dental School and I have enjoyed work- ing as interim provost. Ifit is possible to feel both, I do." Machen, dean of the School of Den- tistry since 1989, also taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Maryland, George Washington University, the University of Iowa and the Medical University of South Carolina. lp 0 ROND TH-E WO'L - . ~ - ' { :: { '°r ., -, i I.

University . 741-9669 South Africa to hold 2nd year of free elections ALEXANDRA, South Africa - South Africa faces another round of voting Nov. 1, this time for rural, town and metropolitan governments that are supposed to be the final phase of the transition to electoral democracy. But while South Africans voted last year amid euphoria, both at home and abroad, over the dismantling of decades of white minority rule called apartheid, this time South Africans go to the polls facing a far more complicated set of political and social considerations. The politics of symbolism - of lib- eration versus oppression - is giving way to the politics of reality. People want to know if they will get a house, a job, a safe community - and when. In South Africa's 17 months of ma- jority rule, the ANC, which swept into the parliamentary majority last year with President Nelson Mandela as its leader, remains a hugely cohesive liberation force. But the absence of broad-based im- provements in housing, employment, basic infrastructure, education and wages has flattened expectations, even injected a large dose of skepticism into South Africans anxious to see their new democracy bear tangible results. Mass confusion over electoral proc dures has reinforced the spreadingsk ticism. Voter registration was exten twice so people who didn't understa the process could register. Russia suspends talks with rebels MOSCOW - Russia yesterday su pended participation in talks wi Chechen rebels on a schedule for disa mament and troop pullout as tensions the secessionist region increased f lowing a bomb attack that grave wounded Russia's top military co mander in the area. President Boris Yeltsin was co6 sidering the declaration of a "state' emergency" in Chechnya, sought hard-liners who want renewed mil tary operations. But other Russiano ficials said such a declaration wou be ineffective, or unnecessa Chechen separatists also warned th it could unleash a new wave of figh ing. As of last night, Yeltsin had-4 made a decision. But the announe ment that the military talks on dis mament and withdrawal were bei suspended was the latest sign that t accord signed July 30 is under ingr ing strain. - From Dailywire servic Is contemporary humanity incapable of believing in the supernatural? Can a thinking person have "faith"? Or is faith to be equated with intellectual suicide? Speaker and author, Dr. Os Guinness (D. Phil. in social science, Univ. of Oxford) believes there is strong support for an intelligent faith. The Veritas Forum invites you to hear his reasons why and how. A time of Q&A will follow.
