Lebanese pick new president, plan for peace
The Associated Press
KLEIAT, Lebanon — Lebanese lawmakers yesterday elected a Christian president and approved a peace plan designed to end 14 years of civil dispute threats by a Christian general to punish them for "conspiracy."
Parliament elected deputy Rene Mouawad, a 32-year veteran of Lebanese politics and a 64-year-old Monaron Christian. Legislators first stripped the president of some power, giving more authority to Muslim leaders.
Fifty-two of Parliament's 73 surviving lawmakers voted for Mouaward in a second ballot of the special session. Six members abstained.
Lebanon has had no president since Sept. 27, 1988, when President Amin
interim Cabinet until a new president could be named, rejected Mouawad's election.
Aoun rejected the Arab League-brokered peace plan, first approved by the lawmakers at a session last month in Saud Arabia because it failed to guarantee a withdrawal of the 40,000 Syrian troops who control much of Lebanon.
He considers the Syrians an occupying army and fought them for six months until a cease-fire was called Sec. 22 by the Arab League. Police wary 930 people were killed and 2,744 wounded, most of them civilians.
The general declared Saturday that he had dissolved Parliament. Most legislators declared his move illegal, noting that under Lebanon's constitution, only the president can dissolve Parliament.
Drive for memorial kicks off

The ROTC units kicked off a fund-raising drive on Saturday to collect money to build a Korean War Memorial at the University of Kansas
Cadets and midhiphim from the three ROTC branches took donations after the Kansas-Oklahoma State University football game to raise money for the memorial.
The fund-raising kickoff was part of KU ROTC Day, which also included a fly-by of four F-16 fighter planes before the game, a pre-game march and rife队 demonstration by the three ROTC branches.
"Our goal is to try to have a memorial in place within two years on Veterans' Day Nov. 11, 1911," said Capt. Todd Tennner.
