NATION/WORLD
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN

MUSCAT, Oman — Yasser Arafat brought his peace campaign to the Persian Gulf yesterday, hoping to win back support from wealthy Arab oil states that have shunned him for three years.
PLO leader searches for nations' support
The plan for Palestinian self-rein力 the occupied Gaza Strip and West Bank town of Jericho was warmly received in Oman. But Arafat headed for a chiller reception today at a meeting of the PLO's ruling committee — several members consider the Israeli-PLO deal a sellout.
The Palestine Liberation Organization leader came to Oman from Cairo, where President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt predicted the PLO and Israel would recognize each other by nightfall tomorrow.
before Israel and the PLO sign the accord.
The plan has won the backing of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, which has called the proposed agreement a first step toward a "just, lasting and comprehensive settlement."
Arafat wants mutual recognition
Relations between most of the gulf's Arab countries and the PLO have been icy since Arafat backed Iraq after its August 1990 invasion of kuwait.
Gulf states retaliated by cutting off hundreds of millions of dollars of aid to the PLO and expelling hundreds of thousands of Palestinian workers.
Arafat's visit to Oman was his first to the region since the rupture, and the prospect of his arrival was so touchy that Oman's foreign minister, Youssef bin Alaaw, toured other gulf states last week to prepare them.
Sultan Qaboos of Oman has mediated between feuding Arab parties before, and Arafat likely decided to visit him first in the hope that the sultan could help restore the PLO to favor in the gulf.
The gulf states also are expected to come under U.S. pressure to swallow their differences with the PLO and contribute money needed to make Palestinian self-rule work.
Oman, the only gulf country to support President Anwar Sadat of Egypt when he launched his peace initiative with Israel in 1977, has praised the Palestinian-Israeli deal effusively.
The agency said the talks were "warm and positive."
After Qaboos and Arafat met, the state-run Omani News Agency said the sultan had given "his backing and blessing to this agreement as the Palestinians chose it for themselves and by themselves."
Arafat's greatest opposition comes from within the ranks of his own people. The PLO's ruling Executive Committee, which is meeting in Tunis at Arafat's behest, apparently needs to approve the deal.
Men found guilty of burning tourist
The Associated Press
WEST PALM BEACH. Fla. — Two white laborers were convicted of all charges yesterday in the burning of a Black tourist, who said the men taunted him with racial slurs, doused him with gasoline and set him on fire.
Mark Kohut and Charles Rourk showed no reaction when the jury of five white people and one African American found them guilty of attempted murder, kidnapping and robbery. The jury returned its decision after a 10-day trial and 12 hours of deliberations.
Burn victim Christopher Wilson sat looking straight ahead next to his mother, Enid Plummer, as the first guilty verdict was read.
Kohut and Rourk, both day laborers from Lakeland, could be sentenced to life in prison. Sentencing was set for Oct. 22.
Wilson made no comment as he left the courthouse, but his mother said they were happy that justice had been served.
"As a Black mother, I would like to say that never waived I wish for anyone, whether Black or white, to have to undergo the pain and agony and frustration we have been through and are still going through."
Wilson, a 32-year-old stock broker clerk from New York City, was burned on nearly 40 percent of his body.
He described being abducted by gun-wielding attackers on New Year's Day outside a suburban Tampa shopping plaza and being forced to drive to a remote field, where he was doused with gasoline and set ablaze.
Wilson called Rourk, 33. "the mean one" who barked racial slurs during the abduction and sloshed him with the gasoline. Kohut, 27, was "the one
with bright eyes" who spoke little during the attack.
But there were no fingerprints, hairs, fibers or DNA traces tying Kohut and Rourk to the scene, and there was no link found through a handwriting analysis of a note left behind that read "One les nigger more to go."
Defense attorneys also questioned the credibility of the state's other key witness, Jeffery Pellett, an 18-year-old from Plant City originally charged in the attack. He struck a plea bargain to testify against his friends, admitting under cross-examination that he had changed his story several times and would lie to the jury to protect his own interests.
The prosecution's problems were compounded on the third day of testimony when the lead state litigator on the case, Len Register, abruptly resigned.

Senate confirms Elders as surgeon general
Republicans had acknowledged in advance of the vote that the former Arkansas health chief would be elevated to the position of surgeon general, the nation's No.1 doctor.
Senators debated her nomination for more than six hours on the first day of their return from a summer recess. Elders was not present for the final vote.
WASHINGTON — Dr. Joyceyn Elders, President Clinton's choice for surgeon general, was confirmed by the Senate last night, surmounting vigorous opposition from conservatives. The vote was 65 to 34.
Sen. Wendell Ford of Kentucky, the second-ranking Democrat in the leadership ranks, voted against Elders. Three other Democrats, Sens. Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia, John Breaux of Louisiana and James Exon of Nebraska joined 30 Republicans in opposing her confirmation. Thirteen Republican voters for Elders.
"I am, by training and temperament, a healer," Elders said in a statement after the vote.
"It is time to look forward — not back — to a time when all American children are planned and wanted, when all American children are immunized, when all American citizens have the security of quality health care, and when all dread diseases are a distant and haunting memory," said the statement, released by the Department of Health and Human Services.
HHS Secretary Donna Shalala said that "Joyceylin Elders is a sharecropper's daughter who never met a doctor until she was 16 years old. Tomorrow, she will be sworn in as surgeon general of the United States. She is the embodiment of the American dream."
At the White House, Clinton expressed satisfaction that Elders was confirmed
"Her dedication to improving the lives of all Americans, especially the children of America, won her the strong backing of a bipartisan majority of the Senate," the president said. "I look forward to working with her in confronting the pressing issues facing the public health of our nation."
Conservative Republican opponents had conceded that they lacked the strength to block Elders' elevation to the post.
Democrats praised Elders as an up-from-the-bootstraps fighter whose bluntness would be an attribute at the Public Health Service.
