Thomas Williams, housing direc
tor and a senior finance major, said
student attendance at the conference
increases every year, presenting a
great need for on-campus volunteers
to provide housing for the students.
“We want the students to stay on
campus to have an idea of what col
lege and dorm life is like, but also for
safety reasons,” Williams said.
Williams said there is a great
need for females to help house the
500 female students who are at
tending the conference.
“We do not want students to
miss the opportunity to see what
college is really like because there
was not enough housing available,"
he said. “We get a lot of help from
the Corps of Cadets in sponsoring
male students, but they can only
house so many students.”
The conference students will
attend a mixer Friday night, and
all housing sponsors are invited
to attend.
Students interested in providing
housing for high school students
Friday night may visit 229 and 230

Endeavor leaves last
U.S. visitor to Mir
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP)
— The space shuttle Endeavour
pulled away from Mir today, leaving
behind the seventh and final Amer
ican to live on the Russian station.
After five days of linked flight,
Endeavour sepm aXed from Mir a lit
tle before noon EST as the space
craft soared 240 miles above Earth.
U.S. astronaut Andrew
Thomas, who’s been criticized
twice this week by the Russians,
said goodbye to the last Ameri
cans he’ll see for months when the
hatches between and Endeavour
and Mir were closed Wednesday.
“This is a day of mixed feelings
for me,” Thomas said before bid
ding farewell to his six shuttle
crewmates and to David Wolf, his
American predecessor on Mir. “It’s
time to get on with work, and
that’s what I’m ready to do.”
The 46-year-old Australian-
born engineer will spend the next
4 1/2 months living on the station
and conducting science experi
ments. Wolf just finished a four-
month mission and is due home
Saturday aboard Endeavour.
Less than a half-hour before
the undocking, the two Russian
cosmonauts who will be Thomas’
crewmates were launched to Mir.
The cosmonauts, along with a
Frenchman who will stay just a
few weeks, should arrive at the or
biting outpost this weekend.
The soon-to-be Mir comman
der, Talgat Musabayev, com
plained to reporters at the Russian
launch site in Kazakstan on
Wednesday that Thomas’ poor
command of Russian could create
problems. The two cosmonauts
speak little English.
Musabayev’s comments came
two days after a Russian space of
ficial called Thomas “capricious”
because the astronaut told ground
controllers that his emergency
spacesuit was too tight.
After hearing about the latest re
marks, Thomas admitted he wished
his Russian skills were better. He said
he expects the barrier to “slow us
down a bit, particularly initially.”
“But I think after a while, we’ll
learn a basis for communication
which will be acceptable,” he said.
Thomas, who was just a back
up for the Mir program until a fel
low American was dropped from
the lineup last summer, said he
wished he’d had more language
training but that wasn’t possible.
As for the spacesuit ordeal, the
problem was solved when
Thomas snipped some stitches
and loosened a few straps.
Americans have been living
continuously aboard Mir since
March 1996; the first American to
be sent to the Russian outpost ar
rived in March 1995 for a four-
month stay. The visits are practice
for die international space station,
to be assembled in orbit begin
ning at the end of June, just after
Thomas returns to Earth.

Immunity talks s
as Starr seeks to
Paula Jones laws
WASHINGTON (AP) — Monica
Lewinsky’s attorney signaled an im
passe Thursday in the high-stakes
pursuit of her cooperation in the in
vestigation of an alleged presiden
tial affair and coverup. A judge in
Arkansas blocked the sensational
accusations from President Clin
ton’s sexual harassment trial.
In a victory for a beleaguered
White House, U.S. District Judge Su
san Webber Wright ruled that wait
ing for evidence in the Lewinsky af
fair would not be worth a delay in
the Paula Jones civil trial slated for
May because it is “not essential to
the core issues in this case.”
"This weighing process compels
the conclusion that evidence con
cerning Monica Lewinsky should be
excluded from the trial of this matter,"
the judge wrote in Little Rock, Ark.
Jones’ attorneys—hoping to prove
a pattern of improper sexual behavior
by Clinton—promised an immediate
appeal. If the ruling stands, they would
not be allowed to question Clinton
about Lewinsky during the trial.
In Washington, legal maneuvering
proceeded in Whitewater prosecutor
Kenneth Starr’s criminal investigation.
Attorney William Ginsburg, who
represents Lewinsky, met face-to-face
with Starr’s staff for less than 45 min
utes, and emerged expressing frustra
tion witli negotiations designed to se
cure her testimony in exchange from
immunity from prosecution.
“If you asked if we made any
progress, we are making progress
today on preparing Monica a de
fense,” Ginsburg told The Associat
ed Press. At midday, he and Lewin
sky left her apartment at the
Watergate complex together.
Starr’s spokeswoman, Deborah
Gershman, declined comment.
A document made public Thurs
day by a federal court underscored the
jeopardy Lewinsky faces without im
munity. It showed prosecutors are
considering charging the former
White House intern with lying in her
sworn affidavit imthe Jones case —
when she. denied she had an affair
ie
with Clinton—andwithi
a friend to lie under oath
