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 war, despite threats by a Christian general to punish them for "conspiracy."
Parliament elected deputy Rene Mouwad, a 32-year veteran of Lebanese politics and a 64-year-old Maronite 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 Mouaiden 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 Sept. 22 by the Arab League. Police say 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 declare 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 midshipmen 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 rifle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. 191," said Capt. Todd Renner,

"There are thousands of kids watching. I have to watch myself and see what I'm doing."
We're going to make last year look like slow motion. I want to run.'
- Kevin Pritchard
Kansas guard
Pritchard, who averaged 14.5 points and 4.4 assists a game last year, says that although his role with the team has changed each year at Kansas, he expects to play mostly at the point guard position this year.
"I like playing point guard," he says.
"Since I started it, I've started thinking about the game, not just being an athlete."
"We're going to make last year look like slow motion," he says. "I want to run."
Pritchard says rebounding and preventing turnovers will be stressed this year.
The upbeat tempo of last year will not be abandoned, he says.
Although the seniors realize they have little individual control over the season.
Gueldner has one more year of school to finish before graduating.
"I think I'll enjoy being a college student," he says. "I think I'll work on my golf game, get it to where I want it."
each of them has definite ideas about what the future holds after the season is completed.
Pritchard says his dream is to play in the National Basketball Association.
"If not, then I'll coach," he says. "I can't think of anything else I rather do."
Pritchard says one of his main goals for this year is to win the Big Eight.
"I have not won a Big Eight championship," he says. "We have a chance. There are four or five teams with a chance."
West says his main goals for this year are winning an NCAA championship and doing well in school.
"A lot of people don't get to experience some of the things I have, like getting treated like someone special instead of just a regular person."
"I wish I had a couple of years left here to play." he says.
Memories of Kansas for Gueldner will be highlighted by, but not limited to, winning the national championship in 1988.
"The tournament will be a big highlight, though."
"I'll also remember the places we've been, Hawaii, Alaska," he says.
