Ilaiti ■ontinued from Page 1 The agreement also requires Haitian army ief Philippe Biamby to give up his authority, ficials said. Though not required to leave Haiti, edras and Biamby were expected to do so. Police chief Michel Francois is “no longer a (layer in this agreement,” one official said, indi- iting his post would simply disappear. Clinton said that Aristide — ousted in Sep- iember 1991 — had promised “no vengeance, no liolence, no retribution.” “This is a time for peace,” Clinton said. “This is a good agreement for the United tates and Haiti,” he declared. Aristide spokesman Jean Claude Martineau Ixpressed qualified optimism: “It seems that we Bre coming out of a long, long dark night.

Talks between Carter, Powell and Nunn and began on Saturday after Clinton had lelegraphed his intention to invade Haiti and Overthrow the military leaders if necessary. Ge ras led the coup which ousted Aristide from of- ice in September 1991. Late Sunday afternoon, Clinton dispatched ational Security Advisor Tony Lake and Haiti nvoy William Gray to brief Aristide on negotia- ions with the men who deposed him. It took evidence that U.S. planes were en oute before Cedras would agree to give up pow- r, Clinton said. He said 61 planes with Army 2nd Airborne paratroopers were actually air- orne at the time. They were recalled to Fort “It’s pretty fatiguing up here. I think a lot of us are looking forward to getting home, getting a good shower and some good old Earthbound things we enjoy,” Discovery’s pi lot, L. Blaine Hammond Jr., said Sunday. On the other hand, Hammond said he and his crewmates wouldn’t mind spending an other day in orbit “because it’s an opportuni ty so rare.” They’ve been aloft since Sept. 9. The astronauts achieved everything they set out to do. They released and retrieved a sun-gazing satellite, measured the damaging effects of their own steering jet exhaust on space structures, and helped direct laser pulses at Earth for an atmospheric study. And — most spectacularly — they tested a new jet pack during a rare untethered spacewalk. Astronaut Mark Lee described the space- walk as a once-in-a-lifetime “special treat.” He became the first human satellite in 10 years Friday when he disconnected his life line and used the jet pack to drift over the open cargo bay. Blake Griggs/Inf: t be a yme’f breakthroii Disease si i men wn safe Bragg, N.C. Defense Secretary William Perry and Gen. John Shalikashvili were at the White House with Clinton when the accord was reached, working on the details of the peaceful insertion of U.S. troops to maintain order in Haiti. The Pentagon’s invasion plans had called for paratroopers to drop into Haiti as part of the leading edge of the assault. The troops “will go in the daytime,” a senior officer said. An invasion could have brought American ca sualties, U.S. military leaders warned, and Clin ton was under political pressure to avoid combat. Clinton began his day in church, bowing his head as a prayer was said for American troops, and the commander in chief who might have to send them in harm’s way. The Rev. J. Phillip Wogaman said Clinton is burdened by “awesome and sometimes very lonely responsibilities.” He returned to the White House and spent the rest of the day in the Oval Office with his senior foreign policy advisers, including Secretary of State Warren Christopher, Perry, Shalikashvili and Vice President A1 Gore. Clinton kept in continuous contact with the diplomatic team, which also included retired Gen. Colin Powell and Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga. The trio, dispatched Saturday, met repeatedly with Haitian military rulers, including Cedras who was installed as the nation’s military leader after a coup that threw Aristide out of power. Perry said U.S. forces were ready to invade if the talks had failed, or secure peace if the mili tary leaders agree to leave. As some 20 warships and a force of 20,000 troops awaited the president’s final order to move, Perry described a three-phased military maneuver that could be adjusted depending on the outcome of Carter’s talks. Day Care Continued from Page 1 Senate’s executive committee, said the Senate’s proposal for on-campus care offers a sliding pay scale plan as well as several locations on campus. “Most large universities in the U.S. have on-campus child care facilities, Mazzullo said. “We are many years behind on this.” Dr. Karen Watson, assistant dean of engineering and co-chair of the Faculty Senate’s Status of Women Committee, said the lack of on-campus day care af fects the quality of life for A&M students and faculty. “There are many faculty members and graduate students that don’t have nearby families to help them care for their chil dren when they leave town or spend long hours researching,” Watson said. “Some of them end up leaving because of problems as small and correctable as this.” Watson said that former Uni versity administrators have not been willing to look at the possi bility of on-campus day care fa cilities. “We’ve been saying there is a need for years, but President Bowen is the first to really lis ten,” Watson said. year of using theil nale condom isak :h includes lubricar. lie Condom— stronger than latex: ir or break.

Saving said more restaurants don’t necessarily mean more jobs. “Restaurants need a certain number of clients to allow them to increase the number of wait ers,” he said.
