ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Members of a moun
tain-climbing class for beginners slipped in the snow,
tumbled into their fellow students and dragged all of
them 1,000 feet down a mountainside strewn with
rocks. Two people were killed and 12 injured.
The accident took place Sunday evening as stu
dents in the Mountaineering I class at the Universi
ty of Alaska-Anchorage made their way down from
the summit of 5,000-foot Ptarmigan (pronounced
TAR-mih-gan) Peak while roped together in groups
of twos and threes for safety.
One team slipped and swept the others down the 60-
degree slope to a field of boulders.
“The top group lost it,” said climber Mona Eben, 43, of
Anchorage. “They kept sliding and eventually they slid
into me and we all got tangled in each other’s ropes.”
She added: “We hit a boulder and kept on sliding and
then we hit another boulder."
Eben suffered a broken leg and bruises.
Those killed were students Mary E. Fogarty, 40, of
Anchorage and Steven M. Brown, 23, who had recent
ly moved to Anchorage from Royal Oak, Mich.
One climber was in serious condition Monday, and
10 more were in fair condition.
The class was for students with little or no climb
ing experience. It had met since June 10 to learn rock
and snow climbing.
The class had spent Saturday practicing techniques for
ascending and descending in snow before starting for the
summit of the rugged mountain Sunday morning. The
peak is 16 miles southeast of downtown Anchorage.
Instructor Debra Greene and her husband, Ben
Greene, led the students. Experienced mountaineers
who worked with Outward Bound before coming to
Alaska last year, both were injured in the fall.
“I can’t imagine why, with all the safety precau
tions we had, why it happened, because our in-

structors are very, very professional,” Eben said,
just amazed because we were all working so welli
a team and following all the safety precautions !
me it was just a freak accident.”
Ptarmigan Peak attracts climbing classes and no™ ^
climbers because it is easily accessible and is covera
with snow all year. But it is also rugged and steep.
“It’s a dangerous area,” assistant park rangerMaj ®\\|
Esslinger said. “It’s a really gnarly area.
The peak is in the Chugach Mountains (pronoum
CHOO-gotch) on the city’s eastern border. The mom
tains are the city’s playground, drawing hikers
climbers to its wooded trails and craggy peaks.
Cousteau honored in Paris
Hundreds gather to show respects for adventurer
PARIS (AP) — In one of France’s
largest memorial services in
decades, nearly a thousand people
gathered Monday to honor Jacques
Cousteau as a man who led the cu
rious on a voyage of discovery
through the world’s oceans.
President Jacques Chirac
joined Cousteau’s family, govern
ment officials and average citizens
at Notre Dame Cathedral to praise
Cousteau’s underwater exploits.
The entire mass was broadcast
live on French national television.
Since Cousteau’s death last week,
French TV has shown and
reshown his films and documen
taries, and French magazines
have devoted special sections to
his life and work.
Cousteau, who died Wednesday
at age 87, was famous throughout
the world for his popular television
series “The Undersea World of
Jacques Cousteau.”
A misty aqua light cast by the
stained glass
windows
added a deep
melancholy to
the service,
which was at
tended by
about 1,000
people, in
cluding diplo
mats and for
mer members
of Cousteau’s exploration team.
Several thousand other mourners
lined the square in front of Notre
Dame and nearby streets. Many
tourists who had come to visit the fa
il ions Paris cathedral waited patient
ly until the service was over to enter.
“With his ingenuity and his
know-how, (Cousteau) allowed
the entire world — and that is not
an exaggeration—to discoverthe
vast undersea domain.”

Albanian president suggests he will step dem
TIRANA, Albania (AP)—Bowing to voters' wishes and
international pressure, President Sali Berisha conceded
Monday that his party had lost the confidence of the Al
banian people and suggested he would step down.
Gunfire broke out as news of Berisha’s televised an
nouncement raced across the country — with some
shots celebrating the opposition Socialist party’s ap
parent victory in Sunday’s parliamentary elections, and
other shots ringing out in defiance.
Berisha’s resignation has been a long-standing de
mand of the political opposition and the rebels who
control much of Albania’s south.
“I will accept the result, and I will respect all the de
clarations I have made,” Berisha promised in what
seemed an allusion to his pledge to step down if his De
mocratic party lost at the polls.
The former cardiologist, who was initially credited with
leading Albania’s fight for democracy after five decades of
communist dictatorsWp, has been increasingly criticized
for his authoritarianism and for tolerating corruption.
Anger over bankrupted investment schemes
boiled into riots in January, with many people blam
ing Berisha for tolerating the scams. Berisha was
forced to appoint the caretaker government and call
elections to try to quell the unrest.
With Albania split into pro- and anti-Berisha camps,
he had become widely viewed as the greatest obstacle
to political and economic recovery.
No official results were available Monday, but the So
cialists declared themselves the winners of the vote,
which was marred by random violence and one killing.
Berisha’s statesmanlike announcement seemed
intended to head off a violent reaction from his
diehard supporters.
“I invite all the activists, all the Democratic (Party)
sympathizers, to treat with patience the verdict of the
people,” the president declared.
He said the Democratic Party would become'
loyal opposition.”
The Socialists, hoping to quash the violencj]$ca
promised to collect the hundreds of thousands! igtj
weapons taken from government armories. linorii
“The unique problem we have to face are the criniii owevt
gangs, but we have the structures and the intematioi’ Too
help to eliminate them,” Socialist leader Fatos Nano sal latis
In Albania, the president is appointed by pari ears
ment. Nano did not say whether he would sei icism
Berisha’s seat, but did say caretaker Preinfosts
Bashkim Fino would continue in his job.
“Today, no one should feel a loser, not even Berisl|ai
and we should all work together,” he declared.
He ruled out creating a coalition with the Defl^ndo
rats, bitter rivals even before the insurrection.
Albanian police patrolled the capital Monda) ecar
armored personnel carriers, and members of! lisle
7,000-strong multinational force took up posfj late
around foreign missions.
InVlora, the heart of the armed insurrection agal owit
Berisha, people fired in the air for a full half-houri lany
Berisha’s TV appearance. An Italian soldier in the m«i iblis
national force was wounded by a stray bullet.
Catherine Lalumiere, head of the 500 election
servers dispatched by the Organization for Security;
Cooperation in Europe, said Monday that the electic
seemed “adequate and acceptable at this stage.”
“The results of these elections can be the foundati
for a stable, democratic system,” she added.
The elections aim to end the chaos, butthev
lence that has killed more than 1,500 people sin*
January stretched past the voting.
Two policemen were reported killed Mondayl 1
shootout in Vlora and a translator working for aGrt*
television company was shot in the arm during
botched robbery there.

Clinton stakes out tax-cut for negotiations
WASHINGTON (AP) — Laying
down markers in the tax debate,
President Clinton offered over
tures to Republicans on capital
gains cuts and other key issues on
Monday but vowed to resist GOP
proposals he said provide “too lit
tle relief to the middle class.”
“I don’t want to start talking
about veto now,” Clinton said in an
appearance on the White House
lawn. “I want to craft an agreement
... that can be written into law and
can be passed with a bipartisan ma
jority of both sides” of Congress.
In revising his own tax cut propos
al, Clinton embraced the concept of a
tax-deferred savings account for edu
cation expenses,
agreed to support
greater relief from
estate taxes and
signed off on a re
duction in capital
gains taxes — all
key elements of
the measures
that cleared the
House and Sen
ate last week. Key
differences re
main with Republicans on the details
in all those areas, however.
Clinton also sweetened his own
proposal for a SSOO-per-childc^
it, a proposal that gained pro^
nence in the “Contract WithAin f:
ca” that Republicans rodetopo'|'
in the 1994 elections. Clinton!
embraced the 20-cent-per-,
hike in the cigarette tax contaflK
in the Senate bill.
Final negotiations are expect^
begin in earnest next week as
House and Senate attempt to i® 0
cile their two bills — and theW,
House’s wishes. Republican co4.
sional leaders hope to have the’’;
compromise on Clinton’s deskb#
ly next month for the largest pa$
of tax relief in 16 years.
