Melendez entertains, inspires with musicBy JOHN LUCASAssociate News Editor

For a second, the boy looked unsure.

At the urging of his m other, he had m u s te r e d en o u g h courage to come up to the stage and ask g u ita r is t T on y Melendez to autograph a photo. As h e r e a c h e d ou t to h an d M elendez the picture, the boy hesitated.

“Put it down here," Melendez said, smiling. “By my feet.”

Despite the fact that he w as born w ithout arm s, M elendez has been playing guitar with his feet since he w as 16 years old.

“1 w as just m essing around w ith m y fa th e r ’s g u ita r ,” he said. “After a w hile, it turned into m usic.”

As a resu lt o f h is m o th er’s u se o f th e d e fe c t iv e dru g thalidom ide during her p reg nancy, Melendez was born with a d isability , but that fact has never prevented him from leading a normal life .

“People look at m e like I’m struggling,” he said. “But I’m not struggling as much as they think."

Years of practice have m ade everyday tasks like writing and eating relatively easy, according to Melendez. Although has used prosthetic arms during his life, now Melendez finds it just as easy to do th ings w ith his feet.

“Ever since I was little I was always putting bits of crayons between my toes and drawing,” he said. “The only problem is that doorknobs are too high. They should be down by p eo p le’s feet.”

As last night’s audience in the Lafortune Ballroom w a tc h e s , captivated, M elendez sits in a ch a ir , p laying Eric C lapton’s

The Observer/T.J. HarrisTony M elendez entertained students at LaFortune last night as he played guitar with his toes.

“Tears in Heaven.”If you w eren’t w atching him,

there would be no w ay to tell that Melendez was born differently than any of the rest of us. That’s the way M elendez likes it.

“When many people com e to see a m an w ithout arm s play g u ita r , th e y e x p e c t to h e a r

t h i s ,” h e sa id as he m ad e screeching sounds with his guitar. “If I ever sound like that, let me know. I’ll go hom e.”

When playing the guitar with his toes, he rarely envies people who have arms, he said.

“When you never have som eth in g , you d o n ’t m iss i t ,” he said. “When I’m playing guitar,

my toes just take over.”After singing and playing for

“I ju st sa n g a song, and he cam e off the stage to kiss and em brace m e,” he said. “I didn’t

N D documentary expands audienceBy THERESA ALEMANAssistant News Editor

The documentary appears on m ore stations than any other university-produced docum entary series, said Conklin.

“T h ere are ab out 3 0 0 PBS s ta t io n s in A m e r ica , so th e a u d ie n c e for th e s e r ie s is considerable.”

In addition to being used in N otre D am e c la ssro o m s, the series is often used by Catholic grade schools and high schools and even armed services te le vision, said Conklin.

T he C en tra l E d u c a tio n a l Network began the distribution o f the ser ie s via sa te llite last fall.

Stations airing the series in c lu d e KCPT in K a n sa s C ity, M issou ri, KUHT in H ou ston , Texas, and WCET in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In production for the past five years, the series began airing exc lu sive ly on cab le te le vision stations which carry the

n a tio n a l r e lig io u s n e tw o r k , VISN, and recently sp read to public television.

The secondary m arkets such as high schools and the armed forces telev ision sta tion s find "Today’s Life Choices" u sefu l as a fountainhead for d iscu ssion of current events and politic a l c o n c e r n s , a c c o r d in g to Conklin.

Other topics include d iscussion of the status of religion in A m erica n c u ltu r e an d th e fu tu r e o f th e U n ited S ta te s space program.

Guests featured in the series include Attorney General Janet Reno and variou s p ro fesso rs and administrators from Notre D am e and o th e r p r e s tig io u s universities.

Stanford provost and Notre Dame Alumna Candoleez Rice was a guest on the show which

will air February 4.“W e look first to our ow n

“For d is c u s s io n s o f Latin America, for instance, we have the Kellogg Institute. For b iochem istry discussions w e have P rofessor M cCormack. A lso, Notre Dame’s reputation opens a lot of doors for getting outside consultants.”

T h e m ere m en tio n o f th e U n iv e r s ity o f N otre D am e sparks nationwide interest and participation, said Conklin.

Conklin attributes the success of the ser ies to its address of relevant and p ervasive social issues.

SMC expands public relations study programBy JENNIFER LEWISNews Writer

Saint Mary’s is trying to ex pand their public relation and a d v ertis in g p rogram . T h ere will be two new classes offered n e x t y e a r . W r itin g for A d v e r t is in g an d P u b licRelations wUl be offered in the fall and Advertising and Public R ela tio n s C am p aign s w ill be added in the spring.

Saint Mary’s has com e a long w ay in their Public R elations d ep artm en t due to P rofessor Carla Johnson of the com m unications department. Four years ago public relations and advertising w ere offered as one general course. Johnson separated them and is now trying to expand the field even more.

Eighty percent of graduating Com m unications m ajors enter the field of public relations.

“Students tell m e w hat they learned in advertising courses is w h at they u se in everyday life." said Johnson. “I am ex cited to create m ore opportunities, because it is a great profession for w om en.”

Over fifty percent of the jobs h e ld in th e p u b lic r e la t io n s field are occupied by women.

“We really n eed to prepare our students so they could be com petitive.” said Johnson.

The new courses have not yet been approved, however. They will be offered next year on an experim ental basis before the board will d ecide to add it to the curriculum . A full course description will be available in the 1994 Fall Course Book.

INSIDE COLUMN WORLD AT A GLANCE

Last chance: Cavanaugh

PlayersRegardless of the dorm chosen for conversion,

the end of som e campus traditions w ere sure to come. Had it been Fisher, it would have meant the end of the regatta. Had it been Zahm, it would have ended the tradition of Odin. Had it been Keenan, this would be the last Revue.

The Board of Trustees has little understanding of such tradition, as proven by their decision th a t th e re is no b ette r w ay to ad m it m ore w om en into Notre Dame than to destroy many y e a r s ’ w orth o f tradition es ta b lish ed by the unlucky m en’s dorm. The Notre Dame family is c lo se en ou gh , and ce r ta in ly b ig en o u g h to accom modate more wom en and keep its traditions at the same time. But the Board couldn’t seem to understand that.

Unfortunately for me, Cavanaugh w as chosen, and som e of my favorite traditions will be ending. Some were not as well known, such as the

Undie 5 0 0 ” (which I doubt w ill be run next year), and some did not fit my skills well, such as the 3-on-3 basketball tournam ent; but all w ere special to the dorm as a w hole.

The tradition that is most special to me is the annual Cavanaugh Hall Play. It is special not only because of my enjoym ent o f theater, but also because of the story behind it and the purpose of the play.

In 1979 , Cavanaugh H all’s p resident, Andy Sowder, w as on a senior ski trip, when he contracted sp inal m eningitis and died suddenly. Those who live in Lyons this year can probably u n d erstan d w hat the dorm m ust h ave gon e through after such a tragedy. The rector at the tim e . F a th er M iceli, d ec id ed to e s ta b lish a scholarship in Andy’s nam e to com m em orate his service to his dorm. The scholarship was to be awarded each year to a Cavanaugh resident in need of financial aid.

In o r d e r to fund th e s c h o la r s h ip , th e Cavanaugh Hall Players was established. Each year the group put on a play at W ashington Hall to raise m oney for the scholarship fund. The Cavanaugh Play is the longest running hall play on cam pus, and w ill go on for the thirteenth and last tim e this weekend. There is enough m o n ey c u r r e n tly in th e fun d th a t fo rm er ‘N aughm en w ill be e lig ib le for sch o la rsh ip s while living in other dorms or off-campus. The fate of the scholarship has yet to be decided.

The Odd Couple by Neil Simon is this year’s production. The play is set in Oscar Madison's apartment in New York City. Oscar is played by Stephen Susco, who appeared m any tim es in the recen t film festival at the Snite. O scar’s sharp contrast with his friend, Felix Ungar, creates the plot of the story, while their beer drinking, poker playing friends add humor.

Because John "Babe" Ruskusky, the producer of last year’s play, is in London this sem ester, 1 have come upon the good fortune of being the co -p ro d u cer for our fin a l p ro d u ctio n . The directors, Jennifer Andre and Tony Leonardo, return from last year’s success, The Foreigner, to have one last nervous breakdown caused by ‘Naughmen.

T he p lay is FREE and can be s e e n tod ay through Saturday at 8:10 PM in W ashington Hall. Donations for the Andy Sowder fund will gladly be accepted by the ushers. While I can’t promise that it will be as funny as the slapstick humor of the Keenan Revue, the play is entertaining and worth attending. I guarantee that Saturday’s performance, Cavanaugh’s last ever, will be one to remember.

W hite House says i ts ready to talk on health care planWASHINGTON

Health care spending (in trillions of dollars)...

$1.8 trillion___________ _̂_____

- 1 Without reform

1 With reform

The White House offered concessions on the scope of its health plan Wednesday just hours after President Clinton drew a n oexceptions line on universal coverage.

S en ate M inority L eader Bob D ole p ro nounced the Clinton health plan “ in trouble," but Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., asserted that Am ericans w on ’t stand for a Republican filibuster.

The president met with House Democratic leaders and key comm ittee chairmen to map strategy for the struggle over the Clinton Health Security Act and a half-dozen com peting bills.

The president, still hoarse from Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, later canceled a speech at a local school on doctors’ orders to recover his voice.

But his surrogates wasted no time making conciliatory sounds on the morning after thepresident delivered a blunt threat to veto ____________any health reform plan that did not include Source: Working Group draft of Clinton's health plan coverage for every American.

Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen told business groups that Clinton w as willing to let more big companies self- in su r e ra th er th an b e in g forced in to th e r e g io n a l alliances where most Americans would have to buy their insurance.

White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers also said that while Clinton stands firm on universal coverage, the timetable for achieving it is "som ething that has to be worked out.”

H ouse S p eak er T h om as Foley, em erg in g from the White House strategy session, said, "It’s possible you will have some kind of a phase-in."

Republicans said Clinton will have to jettison his p lan’s employer m andates and limits on health care spending if he wants the legislation enacted this year.

"His program is in trou b le ,” Dole said on NBC-TV.Repeating his argum ent that the current system works well for 85 percent of Americans, Dole told Fox-TV, "We don’t need a triple bypass to take care of the health care delivery system or this m assive overdose of government that President Clinton proposes."

How reform will impact health care costsWhite House projections of what national health care spending would be without any changes and under its proposed reforms. The baseline figures are estim ates from the Congressional Budget Office.

APBentsen acknowledged that big business has problems

with Clinton’s proposal to force all com panies with up to 5 ,0 0 0 em p loyees into regional in su ran ce-p u rch asin g alliances.

"You think the 5 ,00 0 -em p lo y ee thresh old ... is too high,” he told the National Association of Manufacturers and a pension group. “We hear you. We're w illing to d iscuss this one and the other details o f our plan.”

“We got the concept right, but the president couldn’t have been more clear when he said w e’re open for d iscussion on this as well as other issues,” said Bentsen.

But Bentsen said he was troubled by suggestions that only com panies with 100 or fewer workers should be in the pools. That would be too small to spread the risks around, he argued.

Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., the Energy and Commerce Committee chairman whose panel may be the first out of the gate on health reform, said the timetable for achieving universal coverage “ is open to friendly negotiation with the president.” The Clinton bill would require all Americans to be covered by Jan. 1 , 1998.

U.S. ends largest MIA search since Vietnam Angela Lakeberg’s surgery successful

HANOIThe United States’ biggest search to try to account for

Am erican troops m issin g in th e V ietnam War ended W ednesday, after drawing praise from U.S. officials for Vietnam ese cooperation. A U.S. official declined to say how many rem ains w ere found during the three-w eek search pending a joint U.S.-Vietnamese forensics review. A similar operation is planned to begin in late February and run for four weeks. Visiting U.S. officials visited during the operation to try to gauge the extent of Vietnam’s cooperation. Two participants, Sen. John Kerry, D-M ass., and Adm. Charles R. Larson, commander of U.S. military forces in the Pacific, said Hanoi was not holding anything back. President Clinton has made resumption of econom ic and diplomatic ties with Vietnam contingent on Hanoi’s cooperation in trying to account for 2,238 American MIAs in In d och in a , in c lu d in g 1 ,6 4 7 m iss in g in V ietn am . Relatives of MIAs and veterans organizations who oppose lifting the trade em bargo accuse the Vietnamese of withh o ld in g in fo r m a tio n . K erry sa id in W a sh in g to n on Tuesday that he planned to m eet with the president later this week and recommend ending the embargo. Larson’s favorable assessm ent a lso will w eigh in Clinton’s d ecision. The United States backed South Vietnam during the Vietnam War and cut off diplomatic and econom ic ties in 1975 when the South fell to communist North Vietnam.

Hospital spokesw om an Sarah Jarvis told the Post-Tribune that Angela responded well to the treatm ent. The infant rem ains on a m echan ica l ventilator which assists her breathing. "I think we did a lot of good with this procedure,” Dr. Elsa Suh said. “This artery was very, very narrow and located deep in her ch est.” Angela w as born last June 29 sharing a heart and liver with her Siamese twin, Amy. The two were separated Aug. 20 in surgery that lasted 13 hours. Amy did not survive.

In doing so , h is n ation b eca m e th e first to a c c e p t th e partnership offered earlier this month by President Clinton and other NATO leaders.

“I hope it is a good om en for the future of our relationship,” M elescanu said.

He said his country saw the p ro g ra m “ a s a p r e lim in a r y s ta g e to R o m a n ia 's fu tu r e m em bership in NATO’s political and military structures.”

Clintons quake aid bill introducedBy ALAN FRAMAssociated Press

WASHINGTONForty-four H ouse m em b ers

introduced President Clinton’s legislation W ednesday to rush b illio n s o f d o lla r s to e a r th quake-stricken California.

The m easure w ould provide $6.2 billion of the $7.5 billion in federal resources the adm inistration said it will pour into the s ta te . A n oth er $ 9 0 0 m illio n from past b u d gets is a lread y being directed at the battered Los A n g e les a r e a , and $ 4 0 0 m illion m ore in d isaster loans will com e later.

The H ouse A p p rop ria tion s Committee is likely to consider the bill n ext T u esd ay , w ith a vote by the full House expected two days later. S en ate action would follow . A dm in istration officials have told congressional leaders they would like the legis la tio n on C lin ton ’s d esk by

Feb. 11, the day b efore la w makers begin a m id-winter recess.

As the White House promised, Clinton proposed paying for the aid by federal borrowing, which b o o sts th e fe d e r a l d e f ic it . Budget rules allow the governm en t to b o rro w m o n ey for expenditures that the president and Congress agree are em ergencies.

Conservatives from both parties in the H ouse and S en ate plan to try to force the p resident to finance the assistan ce with cuts in other programs.

The bill’s 44 sponsors include 36 C alifornia law m ak ers and eight others who are leaders of the appropriations panel.

The m oney would be m ostly for d is a s te r r e l ie f by th e F ed er a l E m er g en cyM anagem ent A gency, rebu ild ing of roads and buildings, and loans and grants to individuals

and b usin esses that lost property.

M e a n w h ile , c o n g r e s s io n a l leaders named two lawm akers to chair a bipartisan House task force that is supposed to find accep tab le w ays o f financing the recoveries from future disasters.

H ou se S p e a k e r T h o m a s Foley, D -W ash., prom ised to create the task force last sum m er a fter c o n se r v a t iv e s o b jected to a m easure that relied on borrowed m oney to provide aid to flooded Midwest com m unities.

T h e ta sk fo r c e id e a la n gu ished until la st w e e k ’s Los Angeles quake made the question of d isaster aid a political issue again.

Co-chairing the task force will be Reps. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., and B ill E m er so n , R-M o. A d d itio n a l m e m b e r s o f th e panel will be named later.

NICEThe concrete roof at a busy

about 15 w ere still trapped in the rubble.

T h e r e g io n a l c iv il d e fe n se h ead q u arters had earlier r e ported 10 deaths, but later revised the figure.

More than 70 of the injured w ere hospitalized, including at le a st six rep orted in se r io u s condition, officials said.

A Senate report indicates that some U.S. government agencies circumvented federal law so that contracts could go to favored com panies.

The practice, known as off-loading, occurs when one agency, faced with spending limitations or tough contracting rules, finds a second agency with looser rules. The first agency specifies a favored contractor who is then hired by the second agency. _ _

Five killed in marketwere likelyBy LAWRENCE KOOTNIKOFFAssociated Press

A leading forensic pathologist disputes the government’s finding that five m en killed in a villa g e m a r k e tp la c e d u rin g an Indian uprising w ere not e x e cuted by the Mexican army.

Dr. Clyde Snow, an internationally recogn ized consultant for the Boston-based Physicians for H u m an R ig h ts , sa id Tuesday night that the five men had b een lin ed up and sh o t, probably by soldiers.

The bodies w ere seen by reporters in Ocosingo on Jan. 4, shortly after soldiers retook the town. They w ere in a row and all seem ed to have been shot in the head.

The dead m en appeared to h a v e b e e n m e m b e r s o f th e Z apatista N ational Liberation Army, the group that launched the uprising Jan. 1 to dem and better living and economic conditions for Indians.

The M exican attorney general’s office issued a report Jan. 7 saying the m en w ere not e x e cuted and had not b een sh ot w ith w e a p o n s u sed by th e army.

Snow disagreed.“ T h ey a p p e a r e d to h a v e

Bosnia aid crisis deepens as civilians fire on convoysBy M AUD S. BEELMANA ssociated Press W rite r

SARAJEVO Civilians mobbed a U.N. food

convoy and wounded six of its B o sn ia n p o lic e e s c o r ts W ednesday, in a grim dem onstration of esca latin g la w le ssness driven by hunger and desperation.

The officers suffered bullet wounds in the attack on the 10- tru ck co n v o y as it e n te r e d T icic i, a M uslim v illa g e n ear Kakanj, 30 m iles northw est of S a r a je v o , w h e r e a b o u t 2 0 0 civilians waited for it, U.N. officials said.

“ Som ebody op en ed fire at

the escort from the window of a house," said Kris Janowski, a U.N. spokesman in Sarajevo.

The six policem en were b ein g tr e a te d in a h o sp ita l. J a n o w sk i sa id aid co n v o y s along the route were suspended — a m ove th a t w ou ld a ffe c t Kakanj, Visoko and Tuzla, the M u slim -le d g o v e r n m e n t’s b ig g e s t s tr o n g h o ld o u ts id e Sarajevo.

“Obviously, it is a very serious problem in an area where w e already have serious problem s,” Janowski said. Even before the attacks at Ticici, only about 21 p ercen t of in tended aid supplies for that area were getting through, he said.

It w as the secon d attack at Ticici in two days. On Tuesday, hundreds of villagers m obbed a n o th e r co n v o y and b ea t Bosnian governm ent police officers escorting the trucks after they fired warning shots in the air. One suffered leg wounds in return fire from the crowd.

J a n o w sk i sa id th e tru ck s w e r e a llo w e d to p ro ce ed Tuesday only after som e cargo was looted.

Serbs, Croats and Muslims all have been accused of attacking or interfering with aid convoys as they try to starve out their rivals. But those have been war tactics, usually carried out by soldiers of the various factions.

The most recent attacks reveal the desperation of civilians who b elieve they are denied a fair share of food aid.

People in territory held by the g o v e r n m e n t r e c e iv e s ig n if i cantly less aid than those living in Croat- or Serb-controlled area s , m ainly b ecau se they are i s o la te d from b o rd er a r e a s w h ere the aid en ters Bosnia, U.N. officials say. And som e of the food is diverted to soldiers o f th e M u slim -led B o sn ia n army.

In related comments, but b efore n ew s of the Ticici attack, Bosnian Prim e M inister Haris Silajdzic condem ned those in terfering w ith the flow of aid.

which is crucial for the survival of more than 2 million people.

“W hoever blocks the road — b e th e y B o s n ia n s , S e r b s or Croats — should be bom bed,” he said in Sarajevo after m eeting with Lt. Gen M ichael Rose of Britain, the new commander of U.N. peacekeepers in Bosnia.

First black com m ander has faith in prison reformsBy D O N N A BRYSONAssociated Press

BARBERTONW hen Msuthu Timothy Khoza

cam e to Barberton Prison as a young guard, he w as joining the iron fist of apartheid.

T h ir ty - th r e e y e a r s la te r , K hoza is the first b lack co m m a n d er o f a m ajor S ou th African prison. He believes his rise vindicates his faith that the system can be reform ed from within.

As South Africa faces its first m u ltiracia l e lec tio n s in April and the prospect of a black-led g overn m en t, the p rison s and p olice — the institu tions that formerly enforced apartheid — are scram bling to change with the times and shake their reputations as black oppressors.

The correctional services staff of m ore than 23,000 is split alm ost evenly between white and n o n -w h ite , but o n ly 1 0 4 o f 1 ,5 7 5 officers are black. And th ou gh b lack s com m and two tra in in g co lle g e s , K hoza, 53 , becam e the first black officer in Decem ber to head a maximum security prison.

“ T h in gs are ch a n g in g , but th e y w ill n ot c h a n g e in on e day,” he said.

He feels satisfied with his d ecision to stay with the correct io n s s e r v ic e a lth ou gh m any blacks consider it a betrayal.

“ I had that dream that one day the whole correctional serv ice w ould ch an ge its co lo r ,” Khoza said . “A m an does not simply run away from the work that he loves sim ply b eca u se th ings w ere not the b est they could be.”

Barberton rarely held politica l p rison ers, and K hoza has little patience with the idea that m any blacks w ere forced into crim e b ecau se they w ere d e nied education and opportunity.

“ One cannot run aw ay and say , Maybe it ’s b ecau se they w e r e u n d e r p r iv ile g e d ,’’’ he said . “ I d on ’t run aw ay from the truth.”

Khoza was born in the farming community of Nelspruit, just over the ridge from Barberton in the northeast corner of the country. As a boy, he saw black prisoners on work gangs being guarded by w hites armed with b a ts and s p e a r s . He d ecid ed then that w orking in a prison would give him a chance to “try to c o n v in c e m y p eo p le th a t crim e does not pay.”

Khoza oversees about 2 ,800 prisoners, m ost o f them black, with the help of a staff of about 7 0 0 from an office decorated w ith a la r g e p h o to g r a p h o f President F.W. de Klerk and a statuette of a Zulu warrior.

“ Him and m e, w e ’ve b een brothers for a long tim e,” said Lt. Col. J.C. Hall, a white officer w ho took over as head o f the m axim um secu rity division at B a r b e rto n w h e n K h oza w a s promoted to commander.

REWARDS

As h e s tr o lls aro u n d th e prison , w hites ad dress Khoza a s “ m e n e e r ,” or “ s i r ,” an Afrikaans title rarely d irected from white to black.

The prisoners greet him with shouts of “Com Khoza!” when he enters the exercise yards or walks past their cramped cells. He greets them in Zulu or his native Swazi. Khoza also speaks English and Afrikaans.

From o u ts id e , th e p r iso n ’s cream w alls and red tiles are as picturesque as any sight in its

nam esake town, which is su rr o u n d e d by d r a m a tic rock y hills. But the bleak prison interior — slick gray w alls , gray concrete floors, cold bars — reflects the notoriety Barberton gained for its brutality.

A few years ago, men working on the prison farm reportedly died from heat exhaustion. Now, the men tending the fruit an d v e g e t a b le s grow n for prison consum ption are taken in s id e w h e n it g e ts too h o t, Khoza said.

And p un ish in g p rison ers by d e n y in g th e m food or v is it s from th e ir r e la tiv es a lso h as ended.

Khoza said he w ants to give prisoners opportunities to learn trades or further their ed u ca tion. When he w as head of the m axim um security division, he started a choir and sew ing and carpentry workshops.

“ I’ve a lw ays believed that a p r is o n e r is a h u m an b e in g . T h at’s b een my p h ilo so p h y ,” Khoza said.

Remembering the Leningrad siegeBy MAXIM KORZHOVA ssociated Press

ST. PETERSBURGOf all the horrors of the 900-

day N azi s ie g e o f L eningrad, Tatyana Sukhanova remem bers best the day her m other sold her wedding ring to buy meat. It came from the black market and tasted strangely sw eet.

“Mother turned deadly pale and forbid me to eat it. I couldn ’t s to p c r y in g ,” sa id Sukhanova, now 64.

It wasn't until after the war she learned it w as human flesh.

“Mother w en t to the police and they arrested the man who sold her the meat. I don’t know who he was or w hat happened to him, but that sw eet taste is still in my m outh.”

T his w eek th e c ity , w h ich took back its czarist name of St. Petersburg in 1991, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the end of the siege. A $5 million ce leb ration o f co n certs , f ir e works and parades is planned for Thursday, to be attended by President Boris Yeltsin.

German troops first encircled L en in g ra d in A u g u st 1 9 4 1 . A fter fa ilin g to ta k e it w ith b o m b in g r a id s an d h ea v y sh elling, the N azis decided to starve the city into submission.

They thought it would take a couple of weeks; it lasted nearly three years.

Historians say at least half of Leningrad’s prewar population o f 3 m illio n d ied , m a in ly o f hunger and cold.

“They h aven ’t yet released the real death toll,” said Dmitry Likhachev, 88, a prominent h istorian and siege survivor.

He sa id a c o l le a g u e w h o worked for the city told him 1.2 million people starved, but that figure only included official res

id en ts of the city, w hich w as packed with refugees from the N azi in v a s io n in n ea rb y r e gions.

L ik h a ch ev b e l ie v e s m ore than 3 million people died.

Stories o f can n ibalism and o th e r a t r o c it ie s w e r e s u p pressed for decades, coming to l ig h t o n ly in M ik h ail Gorbachev’s era of glasnost.

O fficial S ov iet h istory e m phasized the glorious aspects of the blockade: com poser Dmitry S h ostak ov ich w ritin g h is 7th Symphony in the besieged city, for instance. The work w as first performed on Aug. 9, 1942, in Leningrad and w as broadcast live to infuriated Nazi troops on the front line.

In r e ce n t y ea r s , h o w ev er , historians have focused on the siege’s grimmer episodes.

“ Only th e n d id w e le a r n there was a special police unit to fight ca n n ib a ls ,” said Yuri K o lo so v , c h a ir m a n o f th e Association of Historians of the Leningrad S iege . He said 260 people w ere arrested for cannibalism.

D uring th e first m onths of th e s ie g e , c ity r e s id e n ts r e ceived a daily ration of about a quarter pound of bread. Before long, all the city’s cats and dogs w e r e e a t e n , th e n r a ts and crows, and then people started to scrape off w allpaper to eat the paste. They boiled leather coats and ate them.

Finally, it cam e to cannibalism . Gangs w andered through the dark city looking for human prey, and parents w ere afraid to let their children outside.

M e a n w h ile , th e c ity w a s ham m ered by German bom bs and s h e lls , w h ich d estro y ed nearly one-th ird of the buildings.

Som e historians now argue

that Soviet dictator Josef Stalin sh ould have su rren d ered the city to ease the suffering.

Harrison Salisbury, the New Y ork T im e s c o r r e s p o n d e n t w hose landmark account of the siege w as recently published in Russian, believed the city su ffer ed p a r tly b e c a u s e S ta lin fea red it. In th e la te 1 9 2 0 s , Leningrad was a center of anti- Stalin opposition, and after the w ar m any heroes o f the siege died in purges.

S till, h is to r ia n s su c h a s Kolosov say the suffering w a sn’t in vain.

“Leningrad diverted up to 30 percent of the German troops on the Eastern Front,” Kolosov sa id . He sa id th e L en ingrad- b a sed B a ltic F le e t k ep t ra w m a te r ia ls from r e a c h in g Germany from Scandinavia.

Of St. Petersburg’s 5 million residents today, about 400 ,000 are siege survivors. Many are going hungry again, struggling to get by on m eager state pensions as Russia painfully m oves toward a market economy.

N atalia V oloshina, 81 , said that in som e w ays things w ere easier back then.

“ The tim es w ere hard and m an y p e o p le d ie d , b ut th e y knew it w asn’t in vain and that we would w in,” she said while standing in a line of som e 500 siege survivors to collect a onetim e p a y m e n t o f 1 0 ,0 0 0 to15,000 rubles ($6.50 to $10) to mark the anniversary.

“ R elations b etw een peop le were better than now, and peop le h e lp ed ea c h o th e r ,” sh e sa id . “ N ow th e y liv e lik e wolves, not caring about others. They rem em ber veteran s and the siege survivors only on the anniversary.”

Ex-KGB says he penetrated Israel’s nuclear facilitiesBy ALLYN FISHERA ssociated Press

JERUSALEM Stepping out of the shadows

20 years after being freed in a spy sw ap, form er Soviet agent Yuri Linov revealed W ednesday that he had penetrated Israel’s top secret nuclear laboratories.

A lieutenant-colonel for the KGB, Linov w as sen t to Israel d isg u ised as a J ew ish im m igrant from Austria in 1968. He even underwent circum cision in Moscow to protect his cover.

For five years, Linov said, he operated a ring o f agen ts, in c lu d in g in fo r m a n ts in s id e I s r a e l ’s n u c le a r r e a c to r s at D im ona in th e N eg ev D ese rt an d N a h a l S o rek on th e

Israel w as working on an atomic w eap on but d oesn ’t believe he broke any new ground.

“I guess it w as known. There are only a few se cr e ts left in this modern world, ” said Linov, w ho sp oke to The A ssocia ted P ress W ed n esd ay w h ile on a b u sin ess stop in the Bavarian town of Hassfurt, Germany.

The Justice Ministry said a spy with the cover name of Karl M u tel, L in o v ’s a lia s on an A u str ian p a ssp o r t, had b een sentenced to 18 years in prison for espionage in the 1970s.

“ D o c u m e n t ,” a te le v is io n program that broke new s of the Linov c a se T u esd a y , sa id he w a s ch arged w ith g iv in g the

KGB inform ation on w eap on s production, secret bases, political and secu rity o ffic ia ls and immigration. Precise details are still under wraps, it said.

Linov w as freed a year after his capture in March 1973 as part of a swap in which at least seven other spies w ere released in c lu d in g I s r a e lis p o s te d in Arab countries such as Yemen and Egypt, he told The AP.

At his closed-door trial, Linov said, “ I pleaded guilty because I felt guilt. It’s a sm all country and I understood the problems as though they were my ow n.”

Linov said he spied for more than 16 years in Europe as well as in I sr a e l. He w a s b e in g groom ed to spy in th e United

Prince Charles cool under fireBy GEOFF SPENCERA ssociated Press

SYDNEYBritain’s Prince Charles, e a

ger to boost his im age after the b rea k u p o f h is m a r r ia g e to Princess Diana, has proved one thing: he can stay cool under fire.

The 45-year-old heir to the th r o n e h a r d ly f lin c h e d W ednesday w hen a young man ran out o f a crowd, lunged at him and fired two blank shots from a starter’s pistol during an o u td o o r c e r e m o n y m a rk in g Australia’s national day.

The prince saw the man run toward him and froze m om enta r ily a s th e sh o ts ra n g out. Afterward, he calm ly adjusted his cufflinks.

W ith in m in u te s o f h is a s sa ila n t’s a rrest, C harles, u n h a rm ed , ca r r ied on w ith h is s p e e c h . He jo k e d w ith th e crowd, and later assured guests at a cocktail party that he w as fine.

“He played it cool. He w ants everyon e to know he is OK,” said Sydney Lord Mayor Frank Sartor, one of the dignitaries on s ta g e d u r in g th e in c id e n t . Others on stage w ere knocked from their seats in the com m otion.

CORRECTIOND ue to an ed itin g error , a

speaker w as incorrectly identified in th e F acu lty B u sin ess Forum o f T uesday’s B usiness p a g e . T h e s p e a k e r sh o u ld have been identified as Czech Prime M inister Vaclav Klaus. T h e O b ser v er r e g r e t s th e error.

Police said the assailant, 23- y e a r -o ld u n iv e r s ity s tu d e n t D avid K an g, w r o te P r in ce Charles last month to complain about A ustralia’s treatm ent of se v e r a l h u n d red C am bodian boat peop le held in d etention camps.

The prince’s staff had w ritten back that Charles could not becom e involved in the matter.

Kang w as jailed and charged under a federal law to protect international VIPs. If convicted, he cou ld be im prisoned for a maximum of 20 years.

He is scheduled to appear in court early Thursday.

The prince did not com ment to reporters. His aides said he w a s u n c o n c e r n e d a b o u t h is safety and w ould continue his tour o f Australia.

New South W ales state Police M in ister T erry G riffith s d e scribed the attack as a “stunt, not an assassination attem pt.”

“ T h ere w as no risk to the p rin ce’s physical being at any stage,” he said.

G r iffith s c r it ic iz e d Buckingham Palace for in sisting on low -level protection so the prince could be close to the p ub lic . The p a la c e ’s in str u c tions w ere “that there are to be no security forces betw een the prince and the public,” he said.

Buckingham Palace did not com m ent on the incident.

Charles and other m em bers of the British royal family regularly shake hands and talk with o r d in a r y p e o p le a t p u b lic ev en ts , w ith little secu rity in evidence.

At W ednesday’s celebration in a d ow n tow n Sydney park, m ore than 1 0 ,0 0 0 p eop le, in

c lu d in g m a n y fa m il ie s w ith sm all ch ild ren , w itn essed the attack.

Kang, sitting in a crowd on the grass near the stage, stood up as the p rin ce p rep ared to deliver his speech and fired one blank.

A loud crack rang out and sm oke rose from the pistol.

Kang then jum ped a low barr ica d e and ran to th e s ta g e , lu n g in g to w a r d th e p r in c e . A n oth er sh o t w e n t o ff as he tripped over a lectern and fell, just a few feet from Charles.

Security officers and d ignitaries wrestled the m an to the g ro u n d w h ile b o d y g u a r d s shielded the prince.

Charles w as on the third day of an official 12-day Australian tour. He has been w arm ly received by the public, despite a g o v er n m e n t p u sh to d e c la r e Australia a republic and sever ties w ith the British crow n by 2001.

In L on d on , m e m b e r s o f Parliament questioned whether Australian authorities had been lax in their duties.

“ Responsibility for his secu rity in A ustralia lies prim arily with the Australian governm ent w hich w ill have som e seriou s q u e s t io n s to a n s w e r ,” sa id R o b ert M a c le n n a n o f th e Liberal Democratic Party.

C onservative law m aker Sir G eorge G ardiner sa id he w as concerned about Charles’ sa fety.

“ But I don’t know w hat h e’s d o in g o u t th e r e a n y w a y ,” Gardiner said. “T hese A ussies are being a pain in the arse and the soon er they jum p into the South Pacific the better.”

Apathetic editorial insults SMCDear Editor.

Perhaps the biggest issue facing the St. Mary’s cam pus is the n eed to in c r e a s e s tu d e n t involvement.

Yes, both tickets for Student Body P r e s id e n t an d V ice President of A cadem ic Affairs agree. Obviously this is a goal that should not be ignored in p la n n in g th e fu tu r e o f th is College.

As an e d ito r ia l b oard w h o insists that “the evolution of the C o lle g e ” is at s ta k e , T he Observer has thrown a blow to the fu tu re o f our cam p us by belittling the election you nickn a m ed “P e p p e r c o r n v e r s u s S traw b erry D an n on Y o g u rt” (The Observer, January 25).

In essence. The Observer ed ito r ia l se n t a m e ssa g e to St. Mary’s students that the e le c tion for Student Body President co n cern s p etty is s u e s . In St. Mary's sesq u icen ten n ia l year, don’t bother to learn about the candidates and their platforms. Don’t bother to have an impact on the n ext 150 years. D on’t bother to vote.

As Vice President of LeMans Hall, I and other leaders in this community are constantly striving to provide n ew p rogram ming that will allow students to becom e m ore involved and to be proud of St. Mary's College. I am absolutely offended by your attitude w hich en cou rages an entire student body to be apathetic. You have insulted everyone in this community, including the candidates, w ho work everyday to in crease the stu d e n t's ro le in s tu d e n t b ody issues.

The tick ets o f E l-G an zou ri/

P e te r s and S h e ed y /M c N u lty share common concerns for the upcom ing year. The O bserver w a s d isa p p o in te d th a t th e debate w asn’t an all-out brawl, b u t an a g r e e m e n t . T h e tw o tickets are aware of the issues that this College faces.

N ever m ind th a t th ey e a c h have different ideas regarding th e im p lem en ta tio n o f th e se goa ls, w hich w a s reported in you r fron t p a g e a r t ic le . T he paper’s editorial sta ff refused to bring them selves to the level o f their p eers w ho sh ould be voting in this election. You had to be journalists, searching for

W hat kind of attention grabbing lead could you m ake out o f a g re em en t? “P e p p e r c o r n v e r s u s straw berry Dannon yogurt” is m u ch m ore e n g a g in g to g e t your readers to read on.

Concerning increasing student involvem ent, both tickets have c o n c r e te id e a s in m in d . To nam e a few from each, the platform of El-Ganzouri and Peters proposes increasing fees, activities at Dalloway’s and Haggar, a Fall Festival, and activities to strengthen relations w ith professors.

A n y o n e w h o a t te n d e d th e d e b a te or k n o w s a n y th in g ab ou t th e c a n d id a te s k n o w s that in our s e s q u ic e n te n n ia l year this election m eans m ore to all of us than salad dressing and y o g u rt. T h e c a n d id a te s w ere actually posed a question about dining hall im provem ents by a m em ber of the audience.

E ach c a n d id a te a n s w e r e d h o n estly , c itin g sp ec ific c o n cerns brought to their attention by fe llo w s tu d e n ts . T he fact th a t th e y l is te n e d to su c h details and are willing to im plem e n t an y im p r o v e m e n ts , r e g a rd le ss o f how sm all they may seem , shows their true sin cer ity in w a n tin g to im prove this College for their peers and th ose w om en w ho w ill attend St. Mary’s in the years to come.

You say , u n n am ed ed itor ia l writer (Observer editorials are com posed by the editorial staff), that “it is the ro le o f stu d en t governm ent to take a part o f the long-term evolution of the College.” Very true. However, it is not the role of The Observer to undermine this m ovem ent by e n c o u r a g in g s tu d e n ts n ot to vote.

It is my sincere hope that my fellow St. Mary’s students were informed about the candidates and th e ir d iffe r e n t p la n s in im plem enting common goals. It w ou ld be aw ful to think that The Observer spoiled the salad d r e s s in g and y o g u rt for th e upcoming year.

By KEVIN SULLIVANAccent writer_______________

Looking for som e humor and exc item ent to bring yourself out of the frozen, post-break torpor of recent weeks? Have a hankering to see your fellow students get taunted? Do you feel the need to see p r o m in e n t m e m b e r s o f th e Administration slammed once again?

Then the place to be this w eekend is O’L au ghlin A u d itoriu m , th e s ig h t o f Keenan Hall’s inimitable Keenan Revue.

This year’s version, entitled, “The All- A m erican Revue,” will attem pt to continue in the tradition of quality Domer entertainm ent and fun that has m ade th e K eenan R evue on e o f the an nu al rites of spring.

6 I think people co m e to the I R evue expec t ing a c e r

tain thing. Hopefully, this y ea r w e ’ll be able to provide tha t a g a in . ’

Paul C zoty

Director Paul Czoty and his core staff, in clu d in g p rod u cer B ong M iquiabas, technical coordinator Mike Libert and m usical directors Gene W arzecha and Tim O’N eill have b een w ork ing sin ce early in the school year to ensure the success o f this year’s show.

“W e’ve got a lot o f d ifferent people throughout the dorm involved this year,” says Czoty, expressing his optimism and enthusiasm over the 1994 Revue.

However, despite the diverse involvement, Czoty prom ises that the show will continue in the style of previous years.

“I th ink p eo p le com e to th e R evue expecting a certain th in g ,” said Czoty. “H opefully, th is year w e ’ll be able to provide that again."

Along those terms, Keenan senior Tim O’Neill will once again be displaying his talents for the Revue audience.

As w ell as b ein g one of the R evue’s musical directors, O’Neill, who is graduating in May, will be giving his farewell piano performance.

O’Neill is also known on cam pus for his covers of Billy Joel, w hich he performed in a concert last semester.

In last y ea r’s Revue, he turned “My Life” into an emotional plea for student freedom from the tightening bonds of the administration (read: O’Hara).

T h is t im e , s tu d e n ts sh ou ld e x p ec t som ething a little d ifferent, as O’Neill will appear with other Keenanites in a sk it n a m e d , “T h e F a b u lo u s O’R ico Boys.”

M u sic is a lw a y s a b ig p art o f th e Revue, and this year will be no different.

A long with O’N eill’s skit, perform ers will jam to such “All-American” classics as “Johnny B. G ood,” “Great B alls of Fire” and the people’s national anthem, Neil Diam ond’s “America. “

Along w ith these num bers, the audience should warm up their own vocal chords for what has also become one of the most beloved Revue traditions - the between-skit TV-theme song sing-along.

“I would be doing a great disservice if I took that out,” said Czoty. Anyone who has experienced this part o f the Revue before would certainly agree.

However bad a cultural reflection the perfectly unified singing of more than a dozen theme songs is, its power can not be denied.

P er h a p s in no o th e r n o n -F o o tb a ll related moment is their such communal enthusiasm as when a Revue audience member hears those first m agical notes over O’Laughlin’s sound system , turns to his or her neighbor, and sings: “Love . . . exciting and new .”

Of c o u r s e , th e m ain fo c u s o f th e K een a n R evu e is a lw a y s co m e d y . Without revealing too much, Czoty said that one of the skits to watch is the om in o u s ly t it le d “N ig h tm a r e F o re ig n Professor.”

A lso , n ew co m ers to th e R evu e can ex p ect to se e th em se lv es re len tlessly satirized - all in the name of good fun, of course.

Czoty and his staff also hope that the students who attend the Revue will not only laugh and sing, but also appreciate the long hours and hard work that have gone into the show’s production.

Since tickets are free, Keenan depends on the generosity of their fellow Domers (or perhaps their inability to evade all the strategically placed ushers) to help pay for costs.

Czoty commented that whether or not student donations w ill help the Revue break-even is a lw ays a concern of the staff.

If, by chance, the dorm profits from th e ev e n t, th e p r o c e e d s w ill go to a scholarsh ip fund a im ed to aid future Keenanites.

Czoty and his staff are confident that they have put together a show that students will greatly appreciate, and that

will once again be one the major events of the sem ester.

The Keenan Revue will be playing this Thurs.-Sat., Jan. 27-29 at 7 p.m. each night. The show s are sold out, so your only hope is to try and scrounge a ticket off o f your favorite Keenanite.

You d o n ’t n e e d a lc o h o l to have a good tim e. It’s a p latitude often heard, but how can it be put into action and made a reality?

This is the goal o f A ndrew s U n iv e r s ity ’s P r e v e n tio n Convention.

Andrew s U niversity, located in Berrien Springs, MI, is hosting the First Annual Youth-to- Youth C o lleg ia te P rev en tio n Convention, January 28-30.

“The goal of the convention is to show people how to not use drugs and alcohol,” says Derri Hanson of Andrews University’s In s titu te o f A lc o h o lism and Drug Dependency.

The program will em phasize

Breaking down ethnic barriers, Djo-Gbe dancing helps make the bashful bold

By LARISSA HERCZEGAccent writer

You w alk into the LaFortune Ballroom and hear persistent live chanting and drums, see festive, colorful curtains on the wall. You becom e relaxed and soothed , op en ing up and le ttin g yourself feel the rhythm of the music. You’re Djo- Gbe dancing.

What is Djo-Gbe (jobay) dancing? According to Lazare Houetin, director of the presentation of the dance, Djo-Gbe dancing is a form of expression deriving its heritage from Africa.

It is meant to help people, through dancing, to

i 11 w as a relaxing, fun expe- I r ience even for the s h y e s t p e o

ple like myself b e c a u s e of the non- th rea ten ing en v i ro n m e n t . ’

Patricia A costa

exp erien ce “the rhythm of n atu re, the dance within them selves,” said Houetin.

This is what happened to Patricia Acosta when she attended the program last year, H ouetin’s first visit to Notre Dame.

“It w a s a re la x in g , fun e x p er ie n c e ," sa id Acosta, “even for the shyest people like m yself because of the non-threatening environment."

A c o sta , a m em b er o f th e M u lt ic u ltu r a l Executive Council, liked it so much that she invited Houetin back this year.

How does Houetin work this m agic, seem ingly ca stin g a sp ell over even th o se w ho h a te to dance?

“(Houetin) is a charismatic man who is able to bring out a lot in people, making them latch on and lose them selves in the rhythm of the m usic,” said Raymond Bugarin, another m em ber of the Council w ho has w orked w ith H ouetin in the past.

To help people “latch on,” traditional costum es will be provided for all those interested in having the entire Djo-Gbe experience.

H ou etin is th e form er d ire c to r o f a r t is t ic ex p ressio n for the N ational Office o f Arts in Berlin, W est Africa.

H ouetin graduated from Paris U niversity in F ra n ce , th en b eca m e an a c to r and F ren ch

teacher. He has traveled extensively, and cu rrently resides in Los Angeles, where he works as a performance artist.

The Council has invited Houetin back because they feel that w hen people get involved in the dance, they will begin to understand and respect the culture, according to Acosta.

Acosta cites the goals of the Council as being a m ajor factor in b rin g in g H ouetin to cam pus: “education, in an informal setting, for the com munity of Notre Dam e/Saint Mary’s and South Bend."

“If w e h ave ed u cated one person , w e have done our job,” said Acosta.

The D jo-G be p ro g ra m w ill be h e ld in th e LaFortune Ballroom on Fri., Jan. 28, at 7 p.m.

The dancing w orkshop will be followed by a reception. Admission is free of charge.

MELBOURNE,Australia Steffi Graf, seeking her fourth

A ustralian Open title in seven y e a r s , o v e r p o w e r e d K im iko Date 6 -3 , 6-3 Thursday to set up a f in a l a g a in s t A ran txa Sanchez Vicario.

Sanchez Vicario, who had lost in the sem ifinals the last three y e a r s , d e fe a te d G ab rie la Sabatini 6 -1 , 6-2 to reach her first Australian Open final.

The to p -see d e d Graf, o v er w h elm in g Date at tim es w ith powerful forehands and serves, quickly opened a 5-1 lead and finished the first set in 31 m inutes. She broke Date’s serve in the opening and closing games of the second set and completed the match in 61 minutes.

"I think it w a s a m atch w e b oth d id n ’t h a v e a lo t of rhythm . She w en t for a lot of sh o ts and sh e m ade a lo t of them, but she also made some errors,” Graf said. “I expected

today a tougher match than it ended up.”

The secon d -seed ed Sanchez V icar io n eed ed on ly s lig h tly longer to finish off No. 4 Sabatini, com pleting the 65-m inute match by winning the last four gam es. Sanchez Vicario mixed hard groundstrokes with d elicate drop shots to keep Sabatini off balance.

On W ednesday, Jim Courier had h is Grand Slam attitu de back.

While advancing to the sem i

finals and a match against com patriot Pete Sam pras, Courier h as r e g a in e d th e e m o tio n a l edge he appeared to be losing last fall.

Yet another Am erican, Todd Martin, will face Sw eden’s Stefan Edberg in the other sem ifinal on Friday. It is the first time sin ce 1982 that three A m eri-

can s are in the m en ’s sem ifinals of the Australian Open.

Courier w as back to h is old peevish se lf in a n ew s con fere n c e W e d n e sd a y a fte r a straight-set victory over Goran Ivanisevic. He snapped at questions w hile im patiently drum m ing his fingers on a podium and playing with a microphone.

Hill had 12 of his 21 in the half, including a running jump shot that gave the Blue Devils a four-point lead w ith less that four m inutes remaining.

But a fte r tw o H oover free throws and a Williams 3-pointer, the Irish led 70-69.

“Monty led the charge for us, making big play after big play,” MacLeod said.

A fter D u k e ’s C hris C ollins turned the ball over on a back- court violation, Joe Ross scored to put Notre Dame ahead 72-69 with 2:19 left.

It w as Notre Dam e’s last basket.

Three Duke free throws and a Clark tip-in later, the Irish were nothing but another victim.

“It s e e m s lik e its a ll for naught w hen you lost by two points,” W illiams said. “It says som eth ing about Duke, but it a lso sa y s a lo t a b o u t th e character of this team .”

That ch a ra c ter w ill be th is t e a m ’s id e n tity . A fter four straight losses to less than outstand in g op position , the Irish could have called in sick.

Instead they salvaged a sea son.

“It’s unfortun ate b ecau se a win would have been a major

sh o t in th e arm . We n eed som ething big, som ething positive,” MacLeod said. “Our kids played their tails off, w e look at th is as a b a ro m eter o f w hat w e’re capable of doing. Nobody has given up.”

Aikman has not forgotten roots

By DOUG FERGUSONAssociated Press

HENRYETTA, Okla.OK, so Troy A ikm an w as

seeing stars when he said it.But ju s t think: th e Super

Bowl in Henryetta, population 6 ,0 0 0 , w h ere the loca l h igh school stadium seats 2,000?

Rick Enis is toying with the idea of printing tickets. The local n ew spap er is com ing out with a sp ecia l edition. There are ribbons along Main Street.

T h e D a lla s q u a r te r b a c k took a knee to the head from D en n is B row n in th e th ird quarter of the Cowboys’ 38-21 victory over the San Francisco 4 9 e r s in th e NFC c h a m p ion sh ip gam e Sunday. As he sniffed sm elling salts to regain his senses, som eone asked him where he w as playing his next game.

“Henryetta,” Aikman replied.If ever th ere w as a doubt

that Aikman still has a special affection for this small ranching com m unity, he may have answered it then.

“ W hy e ls e w ou ld he sa y H e n r y e tta ? ’’ sa id h is c lo se friend William Skimbo, now a teacher at Henryetta High — located on Troy Aikman Boulevard. “That just shows that his fo n d est m em o r ie s are from here."

A ik m an is so p o p u la r in H en ry etta th a t a “ H om e of Troy Aikman” sign was erected even before he graduated college. He causes a stir every time he com es home to visit.

So his com m ent Sunday has caused an uproar.

The H enryetta Free-Lance p lans a m ock ed ition Friday that w ill an n ou n ce a se llou t crow d at C am eron Stadium , the elem entary school designin g th e S u p er B ow l logo to drape over th e stad ium and the band replacing Naomi and W yn on n a Ju dd as h a lftim e entertainm ent.

Enis, the high school principal, got in on the act a little e a r ly , a n n o u n c in g in T u esd ay’s paper that tickets would go on sale in the morning. Big mistake.

“I got a call from a woman th is m orn in g w ho w an ted a ticket for a souvenir,” he said. “I may just print som e up and have a little fun with it.”

Rick Thompson, w ho works at B ob’s C lothing store , w as getting calls from out-of-town custom ers desperate for tickets.

“I tell them all w e got left is a pair o f tick ets on the rock w all in the north end zon e,” he joked.

ATLANTAThe p erfect ru n n in g back .

T h e p e r fe c t q u a r te r b a c k . J o in e d to g e th e r by N orv Turner.

T h e u n io n h a s g iv e n th e Dallas Cowboys the NFL’s most difficult offense to decipher.

“Before Norv got here all we did w as run around fast,” wide r e c e iv e r M ich ael Irvin sa id . “ N ow w e know w h ere w e re going."

Where the Cowboys could be going behind quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and dangerous wide receivers Irvin and Alvin Harper is to a second consecutive Super Bowl title.

A ik m a n , w h e n h is back h asn ’t been hurting, his ham s tr in g sp ra in ed , or h is head knocked dizzy, has played like the Super Bowl MVP from last y e a r ’s 5 2 -1 7 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

T y p ica l, w a s A ik m an ’s day against the San Francisco 49ers when he hit 14 of 18 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns. He d o m in a te d u n til D en n is Brown’s knee sent him away to am nesia-ville for a day.

“I hear I had a good gam e,” sa id A ik m an , w h o cou ld r e

mem ber only one play from the 38-21 victory, a dropped pass by Harper.

Smith, the league’s MVP and o w n e r o f th r e e c o n s e c u t iv e ru sh in g title s , had 172 yard s total offense against the 49ers

A'XVltfin the 38-21 victory. He scored on e touchdow n on a run and a n o th e r on an 11 -y a rd p a ss w h e n he w a s u n to u c h e d by 49er hands.

The 49ers tried to take away Irvin and Harper w ith double co v era g e but in doing so left Sm ith, tight end Jay Novacek, and Daryl Joh n ston a lo n e to roam free.

“ You can take aw ay som ething, but you can’t take away everything,” Smith said. “ I just can’t say enough about Turner. In his o ffen se , he g ives you a chan ce to su cceed . Boy, w e ’ll m iss him.

“ H is sy s te m is so e a s y to learn. And he is the major rea

son w e’ve been so successful. It scares me to think he will be at W a sh in g to n an d p lay tw o gam es against us every year. ”

A ik m an is m o r o se at th e th ou gh t of T urner lea v in g to join the W ashington Redskins or perhaps the Phoenix Cardinals.

“ I hope so m eth in g d rastic happens and he doesn’t leave,” Aikman said. “I can’t begin to tell you what he’s meant to our offense.”

T h e D a lla s p la y e r s w e n t through the sam e thing at the last Super Bowl only it was d ef e n s iv e c o o r d in a to r D ave W an nsted t, w ho had a lread y s ig n e d a c o n tr a c t w ith th e Chicago Bears.

Turner’s offense is patterned to give the Cowboys receivers a chance to catch the ball on the run and use their breakaw ay talents after they catch it. Many of Aikm an’s passes are on the way before the receiver m akes his break.

T u rn er a lso p r e a c h e s p a t ie n c e to A ik m an w h e n th e wide receivers face double cover a g e and o th e rs g e t a ll the work.

Against San Francisco, Smith n e v e r had a b lo c k in g r e sponsibility.

Johnston said Turner will no doubt leave a legacy.

City of Buffalo trying to shed imageBy DAVID GERMAINAssociated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y.For the rest o f America, the

Buffalo Bills have becom e the guest that wouldn’t leave.

The Bills are back in another Super Bowl, defying the “ anyone but Buffalo ” sentiment prev a ilin g , w e ll , a n y w h e r e but Buffalo.

For the hometown fans, the Bills have once again becom e a steppingstone to a little honor, a little respect, a little glory. A S up er Bow l w in by the B ills o ver th e D a lla s C ow boys on Sunday, even after losing the last three, would go a long way to restoring som e pride to this city of hard knocks.

“The Bills are som eth in g to hang your hat on in this town," said Eli Tubbs, who is driving to Atlanta for the gam e. “But w e’ll never be called a great team unless w e win it."

Buffalo’s been carting a chip on its shoulder for years over its snowy weather, its rust-belt im age and its reputation as a place w here losers go to bowl

and gnaw chicken wings.“ T h e r e ’s a lo t o f sn ob s in

this country that need a place to dump on, and it seem s as if B u ffa lo ’s a lw ays h igh on the l i s t , ’’ sa id B ills fan P a u lin e Brady. “Maybe, if the Bills win,

t t f g l g g Z

. . y ~

V X Y llV :

som e of that will go away. But probably not. If Buffalo w ins, the snobs will say. You already lo s t th r e e . I t’s a b o u t t im e .’ Snobs is snobs.”

The rest of the country might h a v e a hard t im e u n d e r sta n d in g w h at a Super Bowl tro p h y w o u ld m ea n to th e windy, rusty city on Lake Erie. Buffalo’s had a bad couple of decades.

Nearly a third of the c ity ’s population fled to the suburbs or moved out of the area as fac

tories closed and Buffalo’s blue- collar job base began to vanish.

B e in g n e a r th e C an ad ian border, Buffalo has becom e a popular drug-trafficking spot, and the accompanying violence has left the city with a murder rate rivaling Detroit’s.

T hen th e r e ’s the w ea th er . The fabled blizzard that blew in 30 fee t o f sn ow off the Great Lakes in 1977 has left Buffalo the butt of jokers ever since.

S p o r ts -w is e , th e la s t 20 years w ere unkind to Buffalo until the B ills’ ascen d an ce in the late 1980s.

The city’s NBA team left town, and th e B u ffa lo S a b r es lo st their, only sh ot at the Stanley Cup in 1 9 7 5 and h ave m ade quick exits from the playoffs in recent years. Buffalo also lost its bid for a major-league baseball team.

T h e O ly m p ic -s ty le W orld U niversity Gam es m ade their U.S. debut in Buffalo last sum m er, but th ey drew m ore a ttention for defections by Cuban a th le te s and the exc lu sion o f the Libyan team than they did for their sports merit.

R O C K S o i f S m ith rap m s s l ig h t

ATLANTA N othing Bruce Smith faces

in Sunday’s Super Bowl is quite tough talk like,as tough as the crisis h e’s coping with off the field.

“ My fa th er’s not doing too w ell,” .Smith said.

George Smith will be 73 on S atu rd ay , the day b efore th e S up er B ow l. He su ffers from heart disease and will mark his birthday in a Norfolk, Va„ hospital.

Smith stopped off to see his dad Monday on his way to the Super Bowl. It w as not an en couraging visit.

'

“ H e ’s s u f fe r in g from e m p h y se m a . H e’s h a d a p a c e -

So, if Smith se em s slightly d istracted this w eek , it ’s u n derstandable. On the su rface, b e sa y s a ll the th in g s a b ig , bruising DE is supposed to say,

If I’m sin g leb locked the w h o le gam e, i t ’s going to be a long day for the Dallas Cowboys.”

Just below that, though, it’s obvious that Smith is thinking of m ore important things.

Smith is the cornerstone of Buffalo’s defense, the guy with 106 career sacks, a fierce end w ho plays a ferocious position with abandon.

A nd y e t , on W e d n e sd a y , there w as a softness in h is eyes as he talked about h is father.

“I called my m om last night . . . r , . to check on him ,” Smith said ,m aker for 11 or 12 years. H e’s “The m ost im portant thing onhad th ree h eart attacks. T he h is mind is that w e m ake surelis t k e e p s go in g on and o n ,” and win the game."the defensive'end sa id / “ It’s a I respect h is w ishes. I don’t d isa p p o in tin g situ a tion . H e’s know if he has things in order, n o t go in g to g e t b etter . H e’ll though. His health is the m ainalw ays be sick.”

C am pus M inistry ... ...C o nsideratio ns

I’M NOT SO SURE ANYMORE

“I am not sure.”

There is only one other phrase which I have spoken more often than “I’m not sure,” and that is “I don’t know.”

W hen I was younger I thought that as I would become older, well educated and experienced, I would would need to use these phrases less often. As 1 have grown older, formerly educated, and experienced, I have said “I’m not sure” and “I don’t know” more often, not less.

A few days ago, a senior at Notre Dame told me that when she was a freshman she was pretty sure that she wanted to be an attorney. She studied like crazy. She began to pick-out law schools. As time marched on and she became more educated and experienced, she became less certain. For various reasons, some of which remain a mystery even to her, she is not sure that she wants to be an attorney. W hen I asked her about what she is thinking about doing after graduation this coming May, she told me, “I don’t know.” This is difficult not only because she feels the need to be certain, but because she feels like she owes it to others, especially to her parents, to be certain, and to certainly be a success.

Although the story of Jesus tells us that what we do is important, it also tells us that how we do what we do is often of greater importance. Jesus was somewhat of a wandering preacher and teacher who told people who seemed sure of what God wanted them to do and sure of an exact way to be saved that they better think again. Jesus welcomed all people, especially those most brutally excluded, with love. I imagine that it was not just what Jesus did that revealed him as God, but how he did it. Christianity is first and foremost a way of living in the world.

We are well into the second semester. A t times it may seem like the pressure is on. There is that popular question, “W hat are you going to do?” Anxiety seems to go hand-in-hand with uncertainty. In many ways, society expects us to grow in certainty, not uncertainty.

Perhaps many of us, especially seniors in their final semester, are realizing that when it comes to discerning a career, one hundred percent certainty is at least unlikely and probably impossible.

Maybe one of the most important aspects of education is the dispelling of the ways we oversimplify ourselves and others. There is something about dying and rising in all of this, a dying and rising which takes place during this life. Hopefully, we die to old ways of seeing ourselves that were narrow and exact in order to continually rise to new ways of seeing ourselves and others that allow us the freedom to change and appreciate the ability of others to change. Perhaps this dying and rising calls us to be a little more comfortable

with not being sure all of the time and not knowing everything exactly.

Certainly, what we do with our lives is important. It can have a great impact on others. However, maybe the question which should precede “W hat do I want to do?” is “How do I want to be?” And, maybe our uncertainty is a step toward the truth.

Maybe the most important thing is not always what we do with our lives, but how we do it.

Big East may be in for changesBy JIM O’CONNELLAssociated Press

NEW YORK The Big East, the made-for-

TV basketball conference, ap p ea rs fo rced by its fo o tb a ll sc h o o ls to u n d e r g o m ajor changes.

The four mem bers of the 10- team b a sk e tb a ll c o n fe r e n c e who play Division I-A football seem to be forcing an end of the league as it now exists.

A m on g th e p o s s ib i l i t ie s : Syracuse, M iami, B oston College and Pittsburgh split from the Big East and form a new conference with Tem ple, W est V irg in ia , V irg in ia T e ch and Rutgers — the “outsiders” who play in the Big E ast on ly for football.

Or the Big East could expand to 14 teams by adding the four football-only schools.

The goal in both cases is to have an all-sports conference.

The only thing that appears c e r ta in is th a t th e c u r r e n t structure of the league w on’t be

around much longer.“In my opinion, I just don’t

believe status quo is an option,” Big E ast co m m iss io n er Mike T r a n g h ese sa id W ed n esd ay . “ S ta tu s quo c a u se s a m ajor problem for our football people. All 10 of our schools have come to r e a liz e th a t s ta tu s quo is probably, at best, a longshot.”

The league will hold its w inter m e e tin g s n e x t M onday th rough W ed n esd ay at W est Palm Beach, Fla.

I t’s d ou b tfu l any d e c is io n s would be announced from there since all changes would have to be approved by sch oo l p res idents.

In 1991, the Big East Football Conference w as formed by b rin g in g in R u tgers, T em p le and W est V irg in ia o f th e A tlantic 10 and Virginia Tech of the Metro Conference. From the start, there w as talk o f those schools joining the conference for all sports but it was always downplayed.

The league w as founded 15 y ea rs ago w ith b a sk e tb a ll in

After all, this is still the most televised basketball conference and it was the league that had tw o n a tio n a l ch a m p io n s and eight Final Four team s in the 1980s, including three-fourths of the field in 1985 w hen Villanova beat Georgetown.

“My agent is on the way to Atlanta right now,” he said.

Bradshaw went to the hospital Tuesday night with a sinus infection, but he was in a jovial mood as he discussed his family’s financial future.

“ W e’re kind of short right n ow ,” he quipped. “ The kids are learning how to dance and I’ve g o tte n o n e o f th o se o r gans.”

Bradshaw was in Atlanta to discuss “Coca-Cola BIG TV,” a syndicated cable program that w ill a ir for s e v e n h o u rs in prim e tim e, beginning T hursday and concluding with Sunday’s Super Bowl.

It will include a sports roundtable, com edy segm ents, gam e show s and a “backstage” look at the gam e between the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills.

Joining Bradshaw on the BIG TV project are several soon-to- be former colleagues from CBS: Lesley Visser, Jim Gray and Pat O’Brien.

Saint M ary’s takes on crosstown rival Bethel

By ANNE NAPIERKOWSKISports Writer_________________________

With three straight w ins under their belt, the Belles are ready to take on cross-tow n rival Bethel College tonight at 7 p.m. at the Angela Athletic Facility.

The team is prepared to defend last year’s double overtime victory by utilizing a new z o n e d e fe n s e w h ich h a s h elped them d om in ate th e ir recent opponents.

“W e’ve con tinu ed w ork ing mainly on the zon e,” said s e nior forward Anne M ulcahy. “It has really helped us in the last three gam es.”

A lthough the B e lles had a rough start to th e ir se a so n , their record has im proved to 4-7 since Christmas Break.

“We w ere off to a horrible s t a r t ,” e x p la in e d C oach Marvin Wood.

“But w e have worked hard and the girls have really com e together."

S o p h o m o r e fo rw a rd Lori Gaddis agrees that the hard work has paid off.

“W e’re a lot closer than w e used to be,” said Gaddis.

“W e p la y b e t te r n ow because w e know w here one another will be throughout the gam e.”

A key to tonight’s game may be how the B elles cope w ith the loss of a key player, Sarah Kopperud, who will be sitting out the B eth el gam e due to sickness.

“W e’ll h a v e to m ak e a r rangem ents to cover the loss of the startin g g u a rd ,” said Wood.

“It w on’t be difficult, but we w ill not h ave th e d ep th w e would like.”

After the break, the B elles lost an oth er startin g guard, Liz V ern a sco , w ho gave up Basketball to concentrate on h er s tu d ie s th is s e m e s te r . H ow ever, th e team q uick ly adjusted to the loss and is continuing to develop their skills.

“W e’re working on the b asics,” said Wood. “W e’re trying to improve our timing and positioning.”

Wood noted that the team's fun dam entals are im proving and that could sp ell trouble for the upcom ing op pon en ts on the Belles' schedule.

A lthough the tea m ’s sp irit did not reach its usual level of in tesity in the B e lle s’ 75 -63 w in over O livet C o lleg e on Monday n ight, their stead ily im proving skills w ere apparent in their execution.

“We were a little sloppy the first h a lf,” said Gaddis. “We didn’t pass well. W e’ve been w ork in g on m oving the ball around and finding the open man instead of forcing it.”

Despite the last gam e’s lack of in te n s ity , th e B e lle 's are fired up and hungry for more wins.

“We have had three wins in a row, and that becom es very contagious,” Wood explained.

Irish host Xavier in battle for first

for the first 39 minutes and 50 seconds.“With the effort our players gave, it’s

unfortunate that we couldn’t get a break at the end and come away with a ’W, ” Irish coach John MacLeod said.

They did com e away with som ething substantial if not tangible.

Standing toe to toe with mighty Duke and its fren etic fan s, th e Irish d id n ’t flinch . Two w eek s o f trou bled tim es were forgotten.

“Coming after some of the losses they have had, I admire what they did,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We feel w e b ea t an o u tsta n d in g b a sk etb a ll team tonight."

At least a team with outstanding heart, a team with the courage to shun fear in the one o f college b asketb all’s darkest dungeons.

It w a s D uke d o in g th e q u iv e r in g W ednesday.

When Monty W illiam s buried an off- balance jump shot for two of his gam e- high 34 points with six m inutes rem aining in the first half, Notre D am e’s lead w as 11.

The inevitable Blue Devil spurt cut the lead to five at halftime.

Then W illiam s and Hill, the two All- A m erica can d idates, proved w hy they are considered to be am ong the nation’s best.

W illiams scored 20 points in the se c ond half to keep Notre Dame close when Duke threatened to pull away.

Coming off a 65-62 defeat at the hands of the Butler Bulldogs last Saturday, the Notre Dame w om en’s basketball team is hoping to fall back into its recen t w inning trend ton igh t again st league rival Xavier at home in the Joyce ACC.

The Lady M usketeers are currently tied for f ir s t p la c e in th e M id w este rn C o lle g ia te C onference w ith the B u lld ogs, h o ld in g a 3-1 league record and 12-5 record overall.

A ccording Irish head coach M uffet McGraw, the Lady M usketeers are a good passing team w ith a great in sid e gam e and a co n sis ten tly potent perimeter shooting attack.

“They’re an excellent team and they pass the ball very w ell,” McGraw said.

Xavier boasts four starters averaging double digits in scorin g. Carol M adsen, w ho is a lso known to be a very good passer, leads the squad with an average of 17.3 points per game.

Freshm an Jenny Rauh follow s M adsen with12.1 points w hile Linn Bihn is averaging 11.7 p o in ts apd 8 .5 r e b o u n d s p er g a m e . Am y Siefring, who specializes in the three-point shot, is averaging 10.1 per gam e. H alf o f her field goals have com e from outside the three point line.

The Irish knocked off the Lady M usketeers last season at Xavier, 64-56. Forward Letitia Bowen ca r r ied N otre D am e w ith 18 p o in ts and 14 reb ou n d s in 39 m in u tes. Bihn and M adsen p aced th e Lady M u sk eteers w ith 18 and 17 points, respectively.

If the 11-5 Irish hope to have the sam e success against Xavier this season , they m ust con cen trate right from tip-off and try to avoid the foul trouble which has plagued them all season.

“We should win," said senior forward Tootie Jones. “We need to handle their pressure and not turn over the ball.”

In Saturday’s loss to the B ulldogs, the Irish were faced with an early 16-4 deficit to open the first half and they accumulated a season-high 31 fouls throughout the game. The loss dropped the squad to 2-1 in the MCC.

“We’re playing well right now,” said McGraw, “and w e n eed to k eep ou r in te n s ity up on defense.”
