Lebanese pick new president, plan for peace
The Associated Press
KLEIAT, Lebanon — Lebanese law-makers 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 "conspirac."
Parliament elected deputy Rene Mouawad, 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 Mouawad in a second ballot of the special session. Six members abstained.
Lebanon has had no president since
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
Drive for memorial kicks off
By Stacy Smith Kansan staff writer
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 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, 1943," said Cant. Tandt Rennere.
Kansas point guard takes shot at all-Big Eight team Braddy assumes leadership role in final season
By Gene King
Kansan sportswriter
There isn't much left for Kansas point guard Lisa Braddy to do in her final season on the women's basketball team.
"I wanted to break the conference record
assist this season," Bradley said. "But,
I was afraid."
Braddy also has been on two Big Eight Conference tournament championship teams.
"I would like to win the championship one more time," she said.
Braddy's assist record, previously held by Kansas assistant coach Lynette Woodard, stands at 513.
"I think that the rest of Coach Woodard's records are out of reach." Braddy said.
Woodward started in 189 games, more than any other players in the history of Kansas was.
Woodard also owns, every major Kansas scoring record. She scored 3,649 points in her career, averaging more than 26 points a game.
Braddy has 1,006 career points in her three years at Kansas.
There is one goal that Braddy wants to accomplish. In the 1987-88 season, she was a secondteam all-Big Eight selection, but her goal is to be named to the first team.
The 5-foot-8 senior from Kansas City, Kan., has started in all @2 games of her collegiate career.
As one of four seniors on the squad, Braddy has accepted a leadership role more easily this year.
"Last year it it was kind of forced upon me," she said. "I struggled at the beginning of the season with it. But, as point guard, it is my role to be the leader."
Coach Marian Washington said that Bradley did a good job last year in leading the young team and that this season could be Bradley's best on the court and as a leader.
Freshman guard Stacy Truitt said she looked up to Braddy.
"She is the general on the court," Truitt said. "She knows what she is doing. Whatever she tells me, I take into consideration."
Braddy led the team in almost every statistical category last year. She averaged 14.2 points a game, and had 26 blocked shots, 73 steals and 168 assists.
Her largest assist total in a single season was 207 in 1987-88.
Braddy said she would play each game this season as if it were her last.
By the end of March, Braddy's collegiate basketball days will be finished. There are no women's professional leagues in the United States, but Braddy said she wanted
"I'll think after every game that it is the last time I'll get to play this team," Braddy said.
