The most oft-mentioned military plan calls for bombing Serbian artillery guns battering Muslim towns in Bosnia. Proponents, among them President Clin ton's ambassador to the U.N. Madeleine Al bright and 12 State Department officials who wrote Secretary of State Warren Christopher urging military action, argue that air strikes will still the guns and ease the suffering. Clinton appeared less certain as he an swered reporters' questions Friday about a possible air strike. "If the United States takes action, we must have a clearly defined objective that can be met, we must be able to understand it, and its limitations must be clear," he said. That's exactly what military planners have been telling him. The AP talked to two Penta gon officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, and Sens. John Warner and John McCain about the risks involved in a military escalation. Warner, R-Va., is ranking Republi can on the Senate Intelligence Committee and McCain, R-Ariz., is a former Navy pilot. Attorney: Before death Koresh prepared will WACO (AP) — Cult leader David Koresh asked his attorney to prepare a will but didn't sign the document before a fire devastated his religious group's compound last week, his lawyer said Sunday. Dick DeGuerin, hired by Koresh's mother to represent the religious zealot, said the will was one of three documents he was asked to prepare during his visits into the compound. But since Koresh never signed the papers, DeGuerin can't file them. "It was his idea," DeGuerin said. "I told the FBI about it promptly and they said it was a good sign because he was looking to the fu ture." DeGuerin said the existence of a will reaf firms the cult's position that Koresh didn't set the fire to ensure the end of the world for his followers, as the government has said. Iraq agrees to let U.N. remove uranium MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Iraq has agreed to let the United Nations remove tlu last of its nuclear weapon-grade uranium,a senior U.N. nuclear expert said. Maurizio Zifferero, deputy chief of the k ternational Atomic Energy Agency, said81 pounds of enriched uranium will be flow: out in two airlifts. I The plane will be modified to guard against radiation leakage in the event ofa crash, said Zifferero, who has headed II,N. weapons inspection teams overseeing the b cation and destruction of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Zifferero, an Italian, led a 16-member teair to Baghdad on April 18. During their six-da, stay, the weapons inspectors secured whatli described as a memorandum of understand ing on removing the uranium. Police Continued from Page 1 even civilian volunteer officers worked the rally. The officers surrounded the Oaks Park pavilion where the Klansmen gave their presentation. A chain link fence and officers clad in riot gear formed a line in front of the stage. Police also blocked off Stallings Drive between University Oaks Boulevard and Harvey Road. Maj. Mason Newton, of the College Station Police Depart ment, organized the operation and said police had achieved the desired effect. "A show of force has worked in previous cities to deter vio lence, and that's the whole thing," Newton said. "If there had not been a need for a police presence we wouldn't have had anybody there." A few officers carried automat ic rifles, others carried shotguns. Mason said the equipment was not meant to intimidate but only to prevent violence from starting. He said the ratio of officers to spectators was about one to one. The perceived overkill was not planned, but it was better to have too many officers than too few. Mason said. "What we did was to assemble every officer we could muster," Mason said. "If people want to say we overdid it then I'm glad. We possibly prevented some thing." Robert Delgato, a Houston resi dent, attended the rally and said the number of police was too much. "This is a vast show of force," Delgato said. "I seriously doubt college students would take on police in riot gear." The police were only bringing more attention to the rally than it would otherwise get by using so many officers and blockading streets, he said. Delgato said his tax dollars were going to waste on the offi cers who were being paid but weren't needed. "They're using our tax dollars to protect people we don't want to be protected while people are be ing raped and killed," he said. "I just think that's wrong." Whoopstock Continued from Page 1 campus organizations such as Stu dent Government, Off Campus Aggies, MSC Black Awareness Committee, Hispanic President's Council, Corps of Cadets and the Texas A&M Emergency Care Team planned and participated in the event. "The turnout for Whoopstock was awesome," said Ric Gonza lez, a junior political science major and member of the Whoopstock staff. "Between people coming and going, I would say about 650 people attended." Some people went to Whoop stock after attending the Klan ral- ty- "I attended Whoopstock be cause I had gone to the KKK rally, and it was a disgusting site," said Jenny Casares, a junior biomedical science major. The speakers at the Klan rally were insensitive and the protesters present did not help alleviate the negative atmosphere. she said. Entertainment at Whoopstock included a yell practice performed by the A&M yell leaders, a jazz show featuring Karan Chavis and the Big Apple Trio, fraternity step shows, a Fade to Black Dance En semble performance and several performances from local bands. The music and everyone in harmony created a relaxed atmos phere - the best part of Whoop stock, Cesares said. "Everyone, even the protesters, should have come here," she said. Brian Walker, student body president and a junior manage ment major said Whoopstock was a success. "It showed that we are all Ag gies, no matter what race or gen der we are," he said. "You couldn't ask for better support." Michael Deen, co-coordinator of Whoopstock, suggested at the rally that this year was only a first attempt to make Whoopstock an annual event. "We don't have to have the KKK in town to show we are a unified campus," he said. Exchange Continued from Page 1 selling your books by putting a sign in a residence hall or on a bulletin board on campus, but on a larger scale," Hall said. "I've talked with other bookstores, and their policy is usually to just try to break even on used books, so we are simply cutting out the middle man." Despite Student Government's confidence, Gary Spearow, gener al manager of the Texas A&M Bookstore, seemed skeptical and down played the significance of the Book Exchange. "It seems that a program like this is started every year. I can't imagine that students will find anything in the book exchange that we don't offer," Spearow said. Students are looking for the in stant gratification of money in their pockets, Spearow said. "The Student Government is undertaking a program that is very labor-intensive," he said. "Matching up all of the students will be a very involved process. It is a nice alternative in theory, but T think that students want the easy, hassle-free, resolution to their semester that we provide." Hall said students are fed up with high textbook prices and will jump at the chance to save money. "I know business, science and engineering majors who pay $451 $500 each semester for books.! think this program will helpmak school more affordable and wl be of great use to students, but to key to its success is participation.' he said. Services like the Student Gov "The Student Gov ernment is under taking a program that is very labor-in tensive." -Gary Speam Texas A&M Bookston general manayp ernment Book Exchange havf been tried in the past, but Ha! and Talbot are certain their nev approach and organization wil ensure the program's success. "The University of Texas runs a very successful book exchangf similar to ours through their res dence halls/' Hall said. "Wede veloped our program using ideas and information that we received from them, as well as ourow fresh, innovative ideas. Wean also starting out on a small seal) to give the program time to catd on. Yeltsin Continued from Page 1 for the elderly, increasing stipends for students, promising land to army officers and revers ing a decision to raise the price of gasoline. The referendum asked voters whether they had confidence in Yeltsin, who was elected to a five- year term in 1991 as Russia's first popularly chosen president. Other questions asked whether Russians approved of his economic reforms launched in 1992, and whether there should be new presidential and parliamentary elections. An exit poll of 5,219 voters na tionwide by the Russian Center for Public Opinion and Market Research found that 63.8 percent backed the president and asm prising 56 percent supported hi market reforms, despite the had ships. The poll, commissioned by Hi Associated Press, found that 28. percent of those voting, or 18 percent of the total electorate/! vored holding presidential elet tions earlier than currently sched uled, in 1996. And it found that 68.6 pereffl of those voting, or 44.1 percente the electorate, favored holdinj parliamentary elections earlit than currently scheduled, inlW The margin of error was 3.5 pm cent of those questioned at8i polling stations across Russia. While the results would ini cate Yeltsin winning on thefW two questions, results on thethitf and fourth questions would be in conclusive. Looking For A Summer Job In Dallas?
