which was due to begin its own sepa

Citing the difference between the
two counts, Political Affairs Minister
Leonardo Perez said he would seek
the assembly’s approval to terminate
all other vote-counting immediately.
Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., co
leader of a 20-member U.S. dele
gation observing the elections, said
the election is “teetering on the
brink of disaster but still in place.”
Speaking on ABC’s “This Week
With David Brinkley” in an inter
view from Manila, Lugar added:
“No one has any idea who’s ahead.”
An international observer group,
composed of 44 poll-watchers from
19 nations, said delays in the count
were “damaging to the credibility of
the process.”
The statement, read by former
President Misael Pastrana of Colom
bia, read: “We saw many instances of
vote-buying, attempts at intimida
tion, snatching of ballot boxes and
tampered election returns.” It said
many voters, particularly in Manila,
where Aquino was heavily favored,
found their names were not on reg
istration lists.

The provisional military-civilian
council on Saturday announced Hai
ti’s new Cabinet. The Cabinet is ex
pected to issue its first communique
today, including a date to reopen
schools closed Jan. 8 because of na
tional unrest in this impoverished
Caribbean island nation of 6 million
people.
The national government radio
Sunday announced that a member
of the new Cabinet, Minister of Jus
tice Gerard Gourgue, formerly pres
ident of the Haitian Human Rights
Commission, had obtained the re
lease of 26 political prisoners. Fur
ther details were not immediately
available.
Duvalier, long accused of human
rights violations, steadfastly held
that there were no political prisoners
in his jails.
U.S. Embassy spokesman Jeffrey
Lite said Sunday that Washington
was considering releasing $52 mil
lion in foreign aid already approved
for Haiti but held up because of the
human rights situation under Duva
lier.

Any student can apply for posi
tions not specifically designated
work-study employment.
All job possibilities are on display
on a bulletin board just outside the
student employment office on the
second floor of the Pavilion.
Brown cautions that the employ
ment office is not an employment
agency.
“Wejust list the openings,” Brown
says. “It’s up to the student to make
the contact, get the interview and get
thejob.”
If successful, the student returns
to the office, fills out several forms,
including a loyalty oath, and be
comes a state employee.
Brown says student workers re
ceive no health or insurance benefits
outside of workers’ compensation.
Just a glance at the listings on the
board shows a wide range of possi
bilities. Most advertise for clerical
positions but some ask for baby sit
ters, handymen, bottle washers and
lab technicians.
Gadberry says she once saw a list
ing asking for someone to dissect in
sects.
There’s even one for golfcart
maintenance.
Brown and Gadberry both say the
employment office does not solicit
listings and instead relies on a kind
of word-of-mouth advertising.
Brown says she once did an infor
mal survey of local businesses to see
if they could use an employment
agency-type service from her office
but she was assured that most could
not.
Gadberry says the current system
of obtaining job vacancies and pass
ing them on to students has worked
well.
“We have plenty of jobs open,”
she says. “Not every student is for
every job, but there are plenty to
choose from.”
