MSC fILM SOCIETY OF TEXAS A&M Page 8 The Battalion Wednesday, February 9, Olympic panel to rule on Harding case next weel The Associated Press LILLEHAMMER, Norway - Tonya Hard ing's lifelong pursuit of a figure skating gold medal could end next week at an Oslo airport hotel, 110 miles shy of this Olympic town and one week short. The U.S. Olympic Committee, troubled by Harding's links to the Nancy Kerrigan assault, called a special hearing for next Tuesday to de cide whether to bar the U.S. champion from the Winter Games. If Harding is banned, her only chance of competing in Lillehammer would be through a court order. The USOC's decision to convene its Games Administrative Board was buttressed by a 400- page volume of evidence from a figure skating federation inquiry, and by Harding's own statements. "It's not a matter of hearing more, it's a matter of giving Tonya Harding a chance to respond, which she has not had a chance to do," USOC president LeRoy Walker said. He said Harding could submit her case in person or in writing, but hoped she would testify. There was no immediate word if she would. Interviewed on NBC's "Today," Walker said the proceeding was similar to an adminis trative hearing. "But we would like to present her, in per son, the charges and grounds for charges that have been leveled by the (figure skating) panel to get her response." "They want to talk to Tonya," USOC execu tive director Harvey Schiller said. "I think it is a response that is required by the grounds sur rounding the attack on Nancy Kerrigan." The inquiry will deal more with"spe manship and fair play aspects ratherft criminal culpability," he said. In Portland, Ore., Harding's attorney Weaver, said he was reviewing the If hearing notice. John Ruger, a member of the panel chairman of the USOC athletes advisoryi mission, said the board was commit^ treating Harding fairly. Harding will remain on the team uni least the end of the hearing, which opens 15 at the SAS Park Royal Hotel, across street from Fornebu Airport. That's three] after the Winter Games begin and eight; before the start of women's figure skating Schiller said the USOC wanted tomee: of town to keep from disrupting the Game Vol. 9 Political leverage no longer an issue in Vietnam's return of MIA remains The Associated Press HANOI, Vietnam — Villagers may be holding the remains of Americans lost in the Vietnam War, or at least know about them, but Hanoi is no longer keeping them for political leverage, a U.S. official said Monday. Army Lt. Col. John C. Cray said some of the 12 sets of remains believed to he those of Americans that Hanoi gave to the United States on Monday were turned in by vil lagers. The latest repatriation ceremony at Hanoi's Noi Bai Airport came four days af ter President Clinton lifted a 19-year trade embargo against Vietnam. Cray, head of the MIA office in Hanoi, said the ceremony had been planned three months ago to coincide with the completion of two major search op erations in December and January. "This is the first repatriation ceremony since the embargo has been lifted," Cray said. "I think that instead of hurting, it will in fact enhance our process." President Clinton had made the lifting of the embargo contingent on Hanoi's cooper ation and progress in the fullest possible ac counting of those missing since the Vietnam War. U.S. veterans groups and families of MIAs opposed the end of the embargo, say ing the United States would lose its leverage in forcing Vietnam to cooperate in account ing for the 2,238 American MIAs. They charged that Hanoi was holding back remains to advance its political agen da. Vietnam also seeks a resumption of diplomatic relations. "We have no evidence that they're hold ing any warehouse full of remains as oc curred in the past," said Cray. "Are there some Vietnamese villagers scattered throughout the provinces that may have in dividual sets or have knowledge of where American remains might be. Yes, 1 believe that. "And in fact, we find that each time we have a large joint field activity and we reach to the outer edges of some of the provinces, the people come forward and either turn over remains or guide us to where they think they recall many years ago a burial site. That's part of how we came to recover ing these remains." "We're going to continue to work as hard as we can ... to make greater progress and continue to provide answers to the fam ilies that have waited so long," he said. Cray said that since the end of the em bargo, the Vietnamese have shown their commitment to the fullest possible account ing, and over the weekend made plans to join more than 100 Americans on another search operation beginning Feb. 26. "I believe that they will continue to work with us," said Cray. "I think this issue is just going to cause a better understanding. It's giving them feedback that we do recog nize the efforts they've achieved to date." Government clears wi for labeling milk treat; with controversial dn: t;' Wir of Nor virtua Worth as far s T Uv critical era she the Sai thougl the we Aft< inute ende Sarajevo Continued from Page 1 ringed by Serbian gunners in the hills who fire on their enemies below. One shelling Saturday killed 68 market-go ers and injured 200 others. So, it was perhaps no surprise that Sarajevo observed the anniversary of its Winter Games with more funerals and rage at the Serb gun ners who "have broken the Olympic record in murder." In the shadow of Zetra stadium, where the Olympic flame was lighted Feb. 8, 1984, 20 victims of the market massacre were laid in graves hacked from the hardscrabble ground of a former soccer field. The stadium has been struck by Serb shells, many fired from cannon and mortar emplace ments set up on ski slopes and bobsled runs on the Olympic heights surrounding the city. At a commemorative ceremony in the na tional theater, a girl's choir called "The Snowflakes" — named for Sarajevo's Olympic emblem — lip-synched to "The Flame is Still Alive," the city's Olympic theme song. The mood among the 100 Sarajevans in at tendance was dejected but dignified.
