Haiti I u ^ u,arman Post Oak 3 ^ 1500 HARVEY RD. 693 m 2796 CARMIKE Continued from Page 1 By Boomer Cardinale Haitian boat people fleeing the country. Two Coast Guard cutters car ried 801 refugees back to Haiti on Monday. They were among nearly 20,000 Haitians inter-' cepted at sea in less than four weeks. Washington has been searching the hemisphere for nations able to provide tempo rary refuge for the boat people. The Clinton administration has repeatedly said it would not rule out use of force to restore elected President Jean- Bertrand Aristide, ousted in a 1991 coup. U.S. Embassy spokesman Stanley Schrager said of Mon day’s expulsion order, “I’m not going to put it in the category of a provocation, but it’s a sad commentary on the state of things here.” He said it would be “tragic” if the monitors had to leave — “They’ve done an outstanding job bringing to light the true hu man rights situation in Haiti.” The joint U.N.-O.A.S. mis sion was sent in February 1993, to investigate human rights abuses by Haiti’s military and its right-wing supporters. Its main task is to collect dai ly reports of possible rights abuses and investigate such re ports. Monitors file reports but have no enforcement power. The mission has offices at vari ous sites where Haitians can re port abuses. Heather By JL Out There By JD Rank Continued from Page 1 Molly Georgiades, a financial aid administrator, said Texas A&M did not rank sixth because of scholarships offered, but be cause of the institution as a whole. “Texas A&M doesn’t offer any special scholarships to Who’s Who high school students,” she said. “This is an impressive reputa tion that A&M has both enjoyed and upheld the last few years,” Krouse said. Jason Skaggs, a freshman communications major and for mer Who’s Who high school stu dent, said he agrees. He said out of the 1,800 choices, Texas A&M was his first choice. “The traditions that the Uni versity upholds make A&M unique to that of other schools,” he said. “Even with over 40,000 people, A&M still has a friendly atmosphere that makes it ap pear much smaller than it is.” DuPont i $200,00 DuPont anc tontinued its ; lliis year by $ officials with $1 This late: (ompany’s cun ASM to more tt toward th tampaign, a i (ear drive to inc The money science and e aid provide fac lor other area computer and ii minority educati Activists of Haiti I -gay Correction Continued from Page 1 Suzanne Goldberg, a lawyer with the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, said her group would fight the ballot measures, first by challenging petition signatures. Lambda is leading the gay community’s fight against Colorado’s Measure 2, a 1992 amendment that banned the state and local governments from prohibit ing discrimination based on sexual orientation. Amend ment 2 was the model for measures proposed in Wash ington, Idaho, Oregon and Nevada. Last December, the Colorado Supreme Court found Amendment 2 unconstitutional because it usurped “the fundamental nght of an identifiable group to partici pate in the political process.” The state is appealing. On July 6, a day before petition signatures were due in Idaho, the Idaho Citizens Alliance submitted 38,610 verified signatures of registered voters, more than 6,000 more than required to put the initiative on the ballot in November. An additional 17,000 signatures were not certified. In Monday’s issue of The Battalion, a headline on page one incorrectly said that students at KAMU were troubled with a new radio station that will start in November. KAMU is not affiliated with KANM radio, which is mentioned in the story. KANM is a student-run radio station and KAMU is a community-funded radio station. The Battalion regrets the error. For clarification, the story contained comments from a KANM manager as to whether A&M money was used to set up the new radio station. Comments from the founders of the new station were inadvertently left out. Eric Truax, president and general manager of KEOS, said the station has never used or received any money from Texas A&M. “There have always been two entities with completely separate financial accounts,” he said.

Shchelkovo is a leafy commu nity of 100,000 people, a tranquil mix of apartment buildings, dachas and farmland about 25 miles from the Kremlin. Zhiri novsky lives in Moscow, but un der Russia’s electoral system may run in any district he chooses. Lena Dudakova, an 18-year- old store clerk, said Zhirinovsky was “going out of style’’ in Shchelkovo, and pensioner Vladislav Kulagin agreed. “Russians would have to all go crazy to elect him president,” said Kulagin, 65, a retired engi neer. During the campaign Zhiri novsky promised to unite all the former Soviet republics into a new Greater Russia, stop pay ments on the foreign debt, cut taxes, keep Russian troops in eastern Europe and the Baltics and end foreign aid except to Serbia and Iraq. He said he would put more ethnic Russian anchors with blue eyes and fair hair on TV newscasts, and he promised cheap vodka would be available on every corner. When his extremist party got 22.8 percent of the votes for Par liament, Russians were stunned. Asked in a national survey immediately afterward whether they would prefer Boris Yeltsin or Zhirinovsky as president, they chose Yeltsin by 62 percent to 7. Even one of Zhirinovsky’s friends, journalist and national ist legislator Alexander Nev- zorov, granted that “it would be blasphemy to wish such a presi dent on Russia.” While he leads a large fac tion in the Duma, Zhirinovsky has not been able to assemble a majority. After using TV commercials and coverage to great advantage in the campaign, he now appears on the screen only now and then, in postures of bluster and buf foonery. There are the fistfights with other legislators, defections from his party and flaps over his offensive remarks on trips abroad. “He’s wearing thin as a clown,” said Sergei Karaganov, deputy director of the Institute of Europe think tank and a member of Yeltsin’s advisory Presidential Council. nvestiga food star WASHINGT iivestigators ha' schemes to ill: slamps into cash slate that uses Mwology to de The Clinto seeking to redu iuse, wants t< ee electronic :BT, to recipier ind of the decac But federal cx aundering cases ae switch from p< stetronic card h ecipients from s iscrupulous rets Department c fie program sa poking tend to srge supermar store outlets, anc 97,000 retailers cod stamps natk Strike ag; preads ii UP Monday TAMU Roadrunners: We will run at 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
