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.

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.”

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.

district northeast of Moscow,
however, many residents are
disenchanted.
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.
