and provost, but at the same
time, I’m more excited about
my new position teaching,”
Gage said.
He said he is excited about
the opportunity he has to
teach and to serve as director
of the center because it com
bines his administrative and
teaching skills.
Sandy Crawford, adminis
trative assistant to the presi
dent, said she will definitely
miss working with Gage.
“I worked with him for four
years. He was a terrific boss,”
she said. “He is an organized,
detailed individual. We had a
very good working relation
ship.”
Crawford said she worked
as Gage’s assistant while he
was senior vice president and
provost and changed offices
when he asked her to make
the move with him.
Crawford will continue to
work in the Office of the Presi
dent as Dr. Bowen’s assistant.
Chancellor Mobley said he
was pleased with the job Gage
did as interim.
“He did incredibly well,”
Mobley said. “It is difficult to
be an interim in any position.
He had challenging issues to
deal with.”
Mobley said he is pleased
Gage is staying with the Uni
versity because he has made so
many major contributions.
Gage said he will encourage
Bowen to communicate with
all internal and external
groups tied with the Universi
ty and to keep the lines of com
munication open.
“He should know that he is
inheriting a quality University
which I believe is still on the
rise,” he said. “I will be work
ing with him on issues that are
ongoing, but in no way looking
over his shoulder.
“I hope I have made contri
butions in a positive way,”
Gage said, reflecting on his
term as interim president. “I
hope many of the things I have
done will continue to have a
positive effect for years to
come.”

Holder said the two-year in
vestigation, which began as an
embezzlement and drug probe of
low-level employees at the
House Post Office, would contin
ue.
Many of the charges have
been the subject of news stories
during the investigation, but the
alleged kickback scheme and
witness tampering were not.
“Several of the people on Ros-
tenkowski’s payroll were in
structed to cash their paychecks
and return the cash to the
Chicago district office manager
or to endorse the checks and
surrender them to the office
manager,” Holder said.
“Then, as these people per
formed services, whether per
sonal, official or campaign-relat
ed, they were paid in cash.”
The scheme generated “a sup
ply of untraceable cash, often
amounting to several thousand
dollars at any one time,” Holder
said.
Pressed several times on
whether Rostenkowski personal
ly received funds from this stash
of money, Holder declined to
elaborate.
The obstruction occurred, ac
cording to the charges, after
Rostenkowski asked a House
employee to engrave brass
plates that would fit onto wood
en bases of crystal sculptures of
the Capitol. Rostenkowski had
ordered the items to present as
personal gifts, the charges say.
After receiving a subpoena to
testify in the case last Septem
ber, the indictment said, Ros
tenkowski “instructed the en
graver, over the telephone, that
he should not say anything
about the crystal sculptures o(
the Capitol that he had en
graved.”
Holder said that Ros-
tenkowski’s placing of individu
als on the public payroll doing
little or no congressional work
cost taxpayers more than
$500,000.
Rostenkowski was charged
with mail fraud, tampering with
a witness, embezzling public
funds, concealing a material
fact, wire fraud and aiding and
abetting a crime.
Conviction on all the charges
could land Rostenkowski a 110-
year jail term and $365,000 in
fines.

to benefit students in the College of Liberal
Arts as well as in other colleges.”
Jones said experience has prepared him for the
duties ahead.
“The associate dean position was very instru
mental in my understanding of how the Universi
ty works,” Jones said. “It allowed me to under
stand different problems and to grow as an ad
ministrator.
“My experience in the Marine Corps taught me
a lot about organizations and people, as far as
how to motivate people and how to overcome prob
lems. In sports I learned the importance of com
petition and excellence.”
Dr. A. Benton Cocanougher, interim senior vice
president and provost, said he is excited about
working with Jones.
“I am confident he will provide outstanding
leadership for the college,” he said.
Dr. William Perry, dean of faculties and associ
ate provost, who chaired the search committee,
said Jones should do well in his new position,
based on his previous experience as interim dean.
“He had a desire to build a community within
the college and build strength in scholarship,” he
said. “He also appeared to work well with con
stituents.”
Before assuming the interim position in May
1993, Jones served as associate dean for academic
services and undergraduate affairs for the College
of Liberal Arts.
He took over as interim dean after Dr. Daniel
Fallon announced he was leaving the University

capital.
In Byumba, near the Ugan
dan border, rebel leader Dennis
Polise told The Associated Press
that rebel demands for a cease
fire include allowing civilians in
Kigali to go wherever they
want, and stopping the mas
sacres.
Polise accused the United
Nations of standing by during
the bloodshed, saying that many
massacres “occurred under the
noses of the blue helmets,” re
ferring to the headgear worn by
U.N. peacekeepers.
The United Nations reduced
its contingent in Rwanda from
2.500 to about 450 last month at
the height of the massacres. It
has authorized an additional
5.500 peacekeepers, but it is not
clear when they might arrive.
Tony Burgener, a spokesman
for the International Committee
of the Red Cross in Geneva, said
more 500,000 displaced people
are now stranded in the Gitara-
ma area without food and drink
ing water.
He said the rebel advance
had cut off the main supply
route from the south and that
the plight of the displaced peo
ple is unclear if Gitarama falls.
He said the refugees have no
other place to go.
Most of the fighting in Kigali
was concentrated around Gad-
hafi Corner, an intersection on
the west side that controls ac
cess to the highway to Gitara
ma.
A U.N. source, speaking on
condition of anonymity, said the
insurgents captured the inter
section overnight and cut off the
army’s last avenue of retreat
from the capital.
Rebels earlier had captured
hills overlooking the highway to
Gitarama, but despite rebel fire
from the high ground the gov
ernment was still able to move
troops from Kigali to Gitarama.
After a night of light fighting
in most parts of Kigali, U.N. of
ficials resumed efforts to evacu
ate some of the displaced people
stranded at the national stadi
um and the Milles Collines Ho
tel. Kabia said 188 people were
evacuated from the stadium
Monday and 129 from the hotel.
Before the evacuations be
gan, there were more than
12,000 people who had sought
refuge at those U.N.-protected
sites and nine others from the
ethnic savagery. Kabia said the
United Nations would attempt
more evacuations Tuesday.
