2- The Michigan Daily - Friday, October 27, 1995 NAIrlom/waftILD U.S. hosts Russian troops for 1st time Los Angeles Times FORT RILEY, Kan. - Army Maj. Gen. Randolph W. House gazed out aver the parade ground. In a hearty voice that rolled across the prairie, he declared: "Oh, what a great day to be a soldier!" Under agray sky,on afield rich inthe autumn gold of the Flint Hills of Kan- pas, 150 Russian "soldats"joined hands yesterday with U.S. soldiers at a turn- ing point in each nation's history.. After the fall of Soviet comMunism, Mother Russia was now a guest in the American heartland. Together, in the first Joint U.S.-Russia military opera- tion on American soil, they began train- ing for global peacekeeping. It was something never dreamed of during the dark winters of the Cold War. But the old Soviet bear is gone, and with it most of the distrust. i n:=. : ''; t . 1' 1: 'f ti:: f" ."

For although Rus- sian political leaders want to help with any peacekeeping mission in war-rav- aged Bosnia, they are refusing to do so ifit means submitting their troops to the command of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which for decades was a group of Soviet adversaries. Until that issue is settled, the former American and Russian foes are rel- egated to joining hands on the practice fields of Fort Riley, where on Yester- day, the small contingent of Russian fighters seemed dwarfed alongside the U.S. Army's First Infantry Division. That famed American division, known as the Big Red 1, had helped fight two world wars in Europe this century, including the 1944 D-Day land- ings, and remained in Germany after World War II as one of the original participants in NATO. Likewise, Russia's 27th Guards divi- sion is steeped in history. It won the prestigious Order of the Red Banner in 1944 for its effort along the Stalingrad Front . At Fort Riley, the old foes shared rifles. They traded cigarettes. They snapped Polaroids and signed auto- graphs. Army Specialist Jim Probst, 25, from East St. Louis, Ill., showed his Russian counterpart, Pfc. Nt Class Nikolai Ledashev, 18, how to strap an American gas mask around his head. The Americans played host. The Russians, many ofthem blue-eyed, pale- faced conscripts, took in the scene. The Russians will eat and sleep the soldier's life with American GIs here. Over the next 10 days, they will learn how to handle new U.S. weapons tech- nology, share ideas on such basic mat- ters as guard duty and checkpoints, and talk strategy over how both sides might someday come together in a real joint peacekeeping endeavor. "If we are called upon to do that, we can and will make it work," pledged Lt. Col. Vitaly Nikolovich Mereyanin, 33, a 16-year veteran of the former Soviet and now the Russian army. U.S. Army Spec. Steven Miller, 28, of Sacramento, Calif., took an even longer view. "It all depends on what happens with this Bosnia situation," Miller said. "If we get into it with them over NATO, it might dampen all of our peaceful relations with the Russians." Called "Peacekeeper- 95," the cur- rent training follows a similar effort a year ago when U.S. Army members stationed in Germany underwent peace- keeping training in Totskoye, Russia. f.w Powell advised to speed up race pace WASHINGTON - Several Republican friends and advis- ers have told Colin Powell or his associates that he must move up his timetable for a decision on whether he will seek the GOP presidential nomination and begin putting fund-raising t. and organizational structures in place before Thanksgiving if he intends to go forward. Powell, the retired general who concluded his book tour last week, said then that he would decide whether to seek the presidency by Thanksgiving. Some who are offering him advice are predicting he will at least hint at his intentions within two weeks, perhaps by allowing a presidential explor- atory committee to be formed. Powell According to Republican sources, Powell has begun the intensive consultations with advisers and friends that he said he would conduc before making a decision on seeking the presidency. He had lengthy phon conversations this week with at least three conservatives, including William , Bennett and Jack Kemp, who have had kind words for him despite his breaks wit AAse1 s 338StaleSt 996.9191 I"""co'A- Sunday Brunch: 11 am - 2pm featuringfrittatas, breakfast burritos, french toast, homfries and homemade bread $2.39 IEDIM&ER & ra: li AHAl -57 FI ill you Can Eat BB Beef Ribs served with Fries and slaw - $695' U Reliaious Services 1 i V A ECKANKAR Religion of the Light and Sound of God "Reading Past Lives to Unwind Your Karma" Sunday, Nov. 5 at 11 a.m. NEW Center 1100 N.

Oficidals evaluate bus crash that killed 7 FOX RIVER GROVE, Ill. - Mo- ments before a commuter train slammed into a school bus stopped at a traffic light, killing seven students, the police chief and an engineer arrived at the crossing to inspect the balky signal, authorities said yesterday. The light is supposed to automati- cally turn green and clear the tracks as trains approach, but "the timing doesn't appear to be proper," National Trans- portation Safety Board member John Goglia said. Investigators are trying to determine why the bus carrying 35 students re- mained in the path of the train Wednes- day. They began testing the light over- night and were seeking police phone logs to check for complaints about the signal. Residents said they've been com- plaining for a long time about poor coordination between the gates and sig- nals at the crossing and the stop light at the intersection just beyond. "People have been saying something's going to happen because it's just not timed right," said Jin Homola, who was in his car behind the bus when the train hit. Five students died Wednesday, an two more died yesterday after they were taken off life support.

Chancellor Helmut Kohl, speaking at a reception before the start of the "Grand Tattoo," urged his countrymen to support their armed forces. Several hundred members of the pub- lic and 1,500 invited guests did that by attending and watching helmeted sol- diers with torches and rifles parade onto Bonn University's vast lawn. Fifes and drums played march music. "Soldiers who swear to loyally serve Germany need the support of all sectors of society," Kohl said. "We can be proud of this army of peace and freedom." He thanked the 8 million who have served in the army, called the Bundeswehr, since it was founded 10 years after the end of World War 11. Scores of protesters, kept about 200 yards away by riot police and metal barricades, shouted their oppositionas Kohl, President Roman Herzog and Defense Minister Volker Ruehe stood on a dais to watch. Some protesters pushed againstIine of helmeted police and were move back. Police corralled some, detaining them briefly. French nuclear testing, terrorism keep tourists away PARIS - Nuclear testing, a wave of terrorist bombings and stiff com- petition from friendlier European des- tinations are driving tourists away from France, the world's No. I vaca- tion spot. But the French government, aghast at the specter of shrinking lines out- side the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, is fighting back with an aggressive plan to woo back wary francophiles - and seduce new ones. President Jacques Chirac's resump- tion of nuclear testing in the South Pacific has prompted Japanese, Scan- dinavian, Australian and other envi- ronmentally aware travelers to cancel or postpone visits to France, Tourism Minister Francoise de Panafieu said Wednesday. A wave of terrorist bombings that has left seven dead and more than 160 wounded since July also has scared off many francophiles.
