I JA - The Michigan Daily - Monday, November 6, 1995 t. /Won States face quirky election ballots tomorrow The Associated Press Political correctness in California. Secession in Kentucky. Affirmative action - by ZIP code, not race - in Minnesota. Not your usual ballot is- sues, they spice the thin stew of propos- als that voters will decide tomorrow. In the four-year election cycle, the November before a presidential contest for most means a break from the annual hurly-burly of picking officeholders. With few statewide races, italso means fewer citizen initiatives, or referendums, since most of the 24 states that let voters enact laws by putting measures on the ballot limit them to general elections. But constitutional amendments and local measures may be proposed any time. In at least 21 states, those will be most of the questions of public policy put to voters, as well as the usual bond issues, such as Maine's four issues total- ing $91.9 million to pay for roads, rail- ways, water and airports, and bridges. And the more local, the quirkier. Marin County, Calif., voters, whose $28,381 per capita income topped the 1990 census, will decide if they want a $40 million showcase designed by I.M. Pei to house researchers looking for ways to make old age more enjoyable. People in the farming community of Tollesboro, Ky., furious since the county closed two schools, want to secede and join the county next door. San Franciscans will answer the ques- tion: Should Cesar Chavez Streetnamed just this year for the late founder of the United Farm Workers Union, revert to its name since 1850: Army Street. A measure on the St. Paul, Minn., ballot would require businesses getting at least $25,000 in government aid to favor city residents in hiring. Columbia lands safely; Atlantis up next CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Space shuttle Columbia and its crew sailed through a clear dawn sky and landed with the heaviest scientific load ever yesterday, clearing the way for NASA's next mission in just six days. It was, at 16 days, the second-longest flight in shuttle history, just one-half day short of the record. "Probably more than anybody, I was really hoping that we would get the duration record. I wanted to stay up a day or two, however long we could, longer," said pilot Kent Rominger. Columbia's laboratory-research mission was all about learning how to use the international space station, once it's built. The next shuttle flight will focus on station assembly. Atlantis is scheduled to blast off Saturday on the second docking mission with the Russian space'station Mir. There will be no crew swap this time. Rather, the shuttle will take up a docking tunnel, food, water and other supplies for the cosmonauts; the Atlantis crew will attach the tunnel to Mir for future shuttle dockings. It will be the first time a shuttle has ever performed station-building tasks. Shuttle commander Kenneth Bowersox said it is important for NASA to learn how to conduct station-type science while learning how to build a station.

On the national level, the GOP has more than held its own, winning four of the six presidential elections since 1968. But here in Frankfort, after a brief Re- publican interlude, politics returned to normal, meaning politics dominated by the Democrats. Tomorrow, Kentucky Republicans have their best chance in almost three decades to break the Democratic grip on the governor's office and provide aboost to their party before next year's presi- dential election. The contest between Larry Forgy, a lawyer and veteran GOP activist, and Democratic Lt. Gov. Paul Patton involves all the usual state issues, from roads to schools to taxes. But it also is being watched closely by the two national parties, with Re- publicans hoping the message from tomorrow's election will confirm con- tinued momentum behind the "Repub- lican revolution" in Washington and Democrats hoping Kentucky will issue a warning about what they see as the excesses of that revolution. According to a poll published late last month in the Louisville Courier- Journal, Forgy has closed the gap with Patton, pulling almost even with the Democrat among all voters and slightly ahead among those considered most likely to vote. Shipyard's demise blow to Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA-The Philadelphia Naval Base and Shipyard, the nation's oldest naval base, is shutting down. The closure, the result of defense industry downsizing, means the loss of 9,000 jobs and the demise of the Phila- delphia area's largest manufacturing plant. Philadelphia has lost 250,000 factory jobs in the last2Syears, aperiod during which the city watched a quarter of its population move away. A poll con- ducted by the Philadelphia Inquirer found that 43 percent of the remaining residents would like to move out, so concerned are they about crime, jobs, public schools and the physical deterio- ration of their neighborhoods.

AROUND THE WORLD ml t THE t .I' 8 i A INTENSIVE MCAT PREPARATION *1 -0FILLINGP E ENRx-OLL OW , -80-30-PRE Walesa likely to' quaify for runoff with ex-Communist WARSAW, Poland - President Lech Walesa, turning around his sag- ging political fortunes, appeared to emerge as one of the two top vote- getters in yesterday's presidential elec- tion and will likely qualify for a runoff against an ex-Communist whose party now dominates Poland's government, according to reports last night. Walesa, who rose to a peak of popu- larity in the 1980s as leader of the Solidarity trade union and its success- ful struggle against Communist rule, has been suffering miserable ratings in the past year, the last of his five-year term as Poland's first post-Communist elected president. But he put his deft campaigning skills to good use in the last month, and an exit poll predicted last night that he would easily qualify for the runoff, with 33.1 percent of the vote. Aleksander Kwasniewski, a 40-year- old economist who had served as a sports minister in the last Communist regime, was leading the vote, with 33.7 percent, according to the exit poll. The survey was conducted by the ,state-run Center for Public Opinion Studies, the principal gov- ernment polling organization. I Braving icy winds, more than 60 percent of eligible voters turned out by early evening to choose among 13 contenders for the second free presidential election since the fall of communism in 1989. Vietnam to release two jailed Americans HANOI, Vietnam -In a rare gesture of goodwill, Vietnam plans to release and deport two Vietnamese Americans who have been jailed for two years for helping to organize a conference on democracy. Nguyen Tan Tri of Houston, Texas, and Tran Quang Liem, whose home- town was not known, will be expelled before midnight (noon Ann Arbortime), the official Vietnamese News Agency said yesterday in a three-sentence re- port. "The decision was made proceeding from the Vietnamese government's goodwill and in response to the Ameri- can government's request," it said. The U.S. Embassy was closed yes- terday and officials could not immedi- ately be reached for comment. The unusual releases come on the eve of the arrival of an American delega- tion that will discuss measures to im- prove trade and economic cooperation. - From Daily wire services I I 1 Crashed Car Display 1>Watch for it on the Diag!
