Stealth fighter crashes into homes Fiery wreckage injures four in northeast Baltimore suburb MIDDLE RIVER, Md. (AP) — An F-l 17 stealth fighter that was per forming at an air show crashed into two houses shortly after take off Sunday, setting both on fire and causing four minor injuries on the ground. The pilot ejected safely. The plane went down about 3:30 p.m. after taking off during a performance at the Chesapeake Air Show at the Glen Martin State Airport, said Baltimore County Fire Capt. Steve Gisriel. Gisriel said the plane, carrying 11,000 pounds of fuel, crashed into two houses and burned two cars at a condo-marina complex on Chesapeake Bay in this suburb northeast of Baltimore. He said a man and three women at the com plex suffered only minor injuries and were not hospitalized. The pi lot was also treated at the scene for minor back and neck injuries. Sharon Schuchardt was watch ing the air show from a boat and witnessed the crash. “The plane was flying over and the tail end just blew off,” she told CNN. “At first we thought it was part of the act. All of a sudden, the plane just started going down.” “It’s something nobody in their lifetime would ever want to expe rience,” she said. “It was horrible. It was huge, a total explosion.” Another witness, Kimberly Chaapel, also noticed “part of the wing fell off” before the plane went down and the pilot ejected. “He started rolling head over tail and (the pilot) ejected proba bly 500 feet before the ground,” she said. “He was very, very lucky.” Air Force spokesman Capt. By ron James confirmed that the F-117 went down and that the pilot eject ed, but had no other information. Gisriel said the fire was under control about an hour after the crash and a three-block area of the complex was being evacuated for military officials to conduct their investigation. The boomerang-shaped F-l 17 Nighthawk, armed with laser- guided bombs, was used in the Gulf War against the most heavily defended Iraqi targets because of its ability to evade radar and radar- guided missiles. According to an Air Force fact sheet, each F-l 17 costs $45 million. Stealth technology uses curved or angular surfaces to reduce that radar reflection — known as a cross section. When combined with radar absorbing composite materials, a plane with a 43-foot wingspan displays the cross section of a bumblebee. First daughter adjusts to college life STANFORD, Calif. (AP) —The first daughter is turn ing into the first freshman, determined to have a nor mal student life. For the first time, Chelsea Clinton will be out of the zone of privacy her parents have zealously maintained around her at the White House. But she shows every intention of keeping her courteous but steadfast distance from the news media while at tending Stanford University. The 17-year-old who wants to become a doctor is not granting interviews. The White House isn’t talking about her plans. And neither is Stanford, citing its policy of safe guarding the privacy of every student and its determi nation to treat the president’s daughter like anyone else. Even the student newspaper says it won’t cover Chelsea as a celebrity after the first day of school when she joins her 1,660 classmates on the private, sprawl ing campus. Stanford students are expected to take the whole thing in stride. “They’ll probably treat her like anyone else.... I don’t think they will judge her based on the fact she’s the pres ident’s daughter,” said sophomore Wayan Garvey. After some initial curiosity—and flurry of media at tention —Chelsea probably will be able to enjoy a typ ical Stanford experience, he said. “To the extent she can... with the Secret Service tail ing her all the time,” Garvey added. Chelsea’s new life starts Friday, the first day of ori entation; classes start Sept. 24. President Clinton and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will accompany their only child to Stanford and are expected to attend the official welcoming ceremo ny and other events, including a parents’ lunch. 1 he Clinton’s also might help Chelsea move into her dorm; Stanford requires that all freshmen live on cam pus where room and board costs $7,557. That’s in ad dition to the $21,300 tuition. She won’t know who her assigned roommate is un til she arrives. Chelsea will be accompanied by Secret Service agents. The Secret Service won’t discuss arrangements at Stanford, but Newsweek reported that a detail of youthful, casually at tired agents will accompany Chelsea on campus and have a room in her dorm. Instead of presidential limou sines, some of the agents will have bicycles to get around the sprawling, tree-studded campus — called The Farm—at the foot of coastal hills 30 miles south of San Francisco.

Stanford, one of the nation’s top universities, has had its share of famous students. Chelsea won’t even be the first child of a sitting president to attend; Allan Hoover, son of Herbert Hoover — himself a Stanford alum — graduated in 1929. Instructors and fellow students generally don’t treat celebrities like celebrities. In fact, they’re not even that impressed. After all, one’s professor could be a Nobel laureate, and gifted, motivated students are as com mon as California poppies in spring. “There are a lot of egos coming in. But once they get there, they’re all part of the same team. Status is not im portant,” said swimmer Summer Sanders, who won a gold medal at the 1992 Olympics midway through her communications studies at Stanford. “You prove yourself with your personality to the stu dent body,” said Sanders, now a sports commentator. When Chelsea announced her college choice, re jecting her parents’ alma maters of Georgetown and Wellesley, Clinton said her daughter “wanted to branch out and be her own person.” Sanders thinks Chelsea — and other members of the Stanford class of 2001 — should do just that. Her advice: “Be yourself — let people like you for who you really are.” 509 University Drive West ■ College Station ■ Phone:846-8721 kinko's* ^ e n 24 Copies Ask about free pickup and delivery Offer good on letter size, singlesided, autofed copies on 20# white paper.
