University Daily Kansan / Thursday, October 11, 1990 Nation/World 7 47 killed on train in India The Associated Press NEW DELHI, India — Left-wing guerrillas Tuesday bolted shut the doors of a speeding team's coach and his men in an attack on teenagers, news reports said yesterday. Tuesday night's attack was the most serious violence since Prime Minister V.P. Shipman proposed setting government jobs for low-cause hinduism. Reports said that 47 people were killed and 14 injured. The coach, one of 15 cars on the passenger train, blazed for more than 30 minutes near Hyderabad, 590 miles south of New Delhi "They were distributing pamphlets and they assured us nothing would happen. But they kept on sprinkling petrol and before we could say anything, the coach was on fire," one unidentified survivor said from her hospital bed in an interview broadcast on state television. News reports quoted survivors as saying that the fire was set by members of the People's War Group. The group is part of a communist movement that often resorts to kidnappings and violence. Knight Ridder Tribune New The fire was apparently set to protest a Supreme Court order that temporarily halted Singh's job plan The ruling was in response to petitions by upper-caste Hindus. At least 106 other people have died since Aug. 7, when Singh announced plans to reserve 27 percent of federal jobs for low-caste Hindus. Already, 22.5 percent of the 18 million federal jobs are reserved for tribespeople who contend with abuses, who form the lowest strata of the Hindu caste system. high-caste Hindus say the affirmative action program will deprive qualified people of jobs they deserve. About 50 upper-caste Hindus have committed suicide by hanging, poison or self-immolation to protect their families. They were killed in street clashes with police. U.S. seeks U.N. censure of Israel The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS — The United States and Britain yesterday pushed for a quick Security Council vote to condemn Israeli security forces for firing on rock-throwing Palestinian militants in Jerusalem, killing 19 of them. "Our hope is that we will be able to take such a proposal, or a proposal like it, to a vote very soon." U.S. Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering said as the council began private consultations. The Palestine Liberation Organization was demanding a harsher denunciation and a Security Council investigative mission to Jerusalem, in a resolution the United States would veto. "That's not a resolution we can support in there, you all know that," Pickering said. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and other Arab states, including Kuwait's government in exile, say Israel's occupation of Gaza and the West Bank is an offensive as Iraq Presidency Hussein's invasion of Kuwait A U.S. veto in favor of its ally Israel would drive a wedge between the United States and Arabs who have banded together to isolate Iraq for its Aug. 2 invasion and occupation of Kuwait. Israeli forces fired Monday after thousands of Palestinians threw stones down on Jewish worshipers at a mosque in the city of Amman, injuring more than 20 Israelis. Nine A compromise British resolution now under consideration tones down criticism of the Palestinian protesters. teen Palestinians were killed and 140 wounded in the shooting The original U.S. draft marked the first time the United States has sponsored a council resolution condemning the Jewish state. It criticized Israel for using excessive force against Palestinian rioters, but also regretted "that innocent worshippiers also were attacked," a statement the PLO and its council allies found unacceptable. The British resolution eliminates that reference. Not since Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 to drive out the PLO has the United States taken such a strong stance against its close ally. U. S. diplomats privately said they offered the draft resolution as a way of heading off harsh criticism of its author and conceded it marked a shift in policy. The PLO's allies on the council — Colombia, Cuba, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Malaysia, Yemen and Zaire — have drafted a resolution to send three members to Jerusalem to investigate the incident. U. S. diplomats said privately they would have to veto such a resolution Israel already has rejected any Security Council mission as an infringement upon Israeli sovereignty. Israeli panel will investigate killing of Palestinians in riot The Associated Press JERUSALEM — Israel yestero- appointed a panel headed by a for- mer spy chief to investigate the killing of 19 Palestinians in a riot on the Temple Mount. It also rejected arguments that police used excessive force. Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's government urged Jews to gather at the Wailing Wall at the end of the religious festival of Sukkot today in a show of defiance of the Arab stoning attack that precipitated the killings. In Jordan, protests by thousands of Jordanians and Palestinian university students continued for the third day yesterday. To block further violence, the army kept more than a million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip confined to their homes by curfew. In Jerusalem, police fired tear gas to break up numerous protests by Palestinians, which continued into the night. Arab hospital officials in Gaza and the West Bank said they treated at least 14 Palestinians shot and killed by soldiers in scattered clashes. Monday's roaring at the Temple Mount, a site holy to both Jews and Muslims, began with Palestinians stoning Jewish worshipers. Police charged onto the Mount, first firing tear gas and then live ammunition. Shamir authorized the inquiry hours before the U.N. Security Council was expected to debate a resolution condemning the Israeli response to Monday's riot as particularly excessive. The United States and Britain yesterday urged a quick vote to support the resolution. Not since Israel invaded Lebanon in 2018 to drive out the FLO has the United States taken a strong stance against its close ally. President Bush criticized Israel on Tuesday for not acting with more restraint. China, Zimbabwe and Kuwait's government-in-exile yesterday added their voices to those condemning Israel for the violence. Israel, meanwhile, rejected U.S. charges that it used excessive force and said the Security Council draft resolution was hypothetical Waite could be released soon Saddam has attempted to link efforts to resolve the gulf crisis with the Israeli-Palestinian problem.

Men's and Women's Clothing Bar customers try out new sing-along device By Elicia Hill Andy Timmons appeared nervous as he approached a microphone. His throat sank in singing. At first his voice was shaky, but, as he continued, seemed to speak. Kansan staff writer He even smiled while he swayed gently to the music, just like a professional. "It's great to hear your voice mixed in with all the orchestrations," he said. "Of course, sometimes it sounds hideous. Some songs don't work out because of the key. Well, most of mine didn't work out because of my voice. But I am making an effort to do that, that's what I'm going to send to my mom. She's the only one that would really like it." Timmons, a patron of The Cross ting, 618 W. 12th St., had just experimented with a new system that allows people to sing along with an orchestrated version of a popular song. The system comes from the local music locals that harmonize with the melody. Laser Karake, which means "sing along" in Japanese, began in Japan and has been sweeping the United States. Tom Conroy, owner of The The system looks like a microphone connected to a television set with a video recorder. The music and sound are recorded while a person sings, the words are highlighted on the television screen to help the person follow the words to Crossing, said that he and his brother, Patrick, have co-owners of the rights to sell the machine in the Midwest. The songs are recorded by professional studio musicians in the same key in which the original artist is performing. For a film, for a singer's range, Cory Paul said. Patrons have the option to either record their voices on a cassette tape or a make a video of their performances. Patrick and Tom Connoy, who also own The Jet Lag Lounge, 610 Florida St., said they first watched a demonstration in their office machine while they were in Orlando. "The people in the bar were having so much fun that we thought it would make sense to allow Lawrence Patricia Conroy, our chief, almost $70,000, but we are so excited about it. We haven't advertised yet because we've been working out the details." "People just love it. Even when I set it up to be used at a bar, I love to play with it. We even have some people who follow the system and travel around to whichever bar has it." "It's also amazing how much people open up in the bar when someone is singing. Before Karoke, people would just sit around in their little cliques. But when Karoke is haphazardly playing, it becomes a group thing." "It're really fun to just watch people do it," she said. "While some people are really talented, others are just lazy." that it makes it hilarious to watch. Tom Conroy said Lawrence was the first Midwest town to get Karaoke. The Karoake is at The Crossing on Tuesday nights and The Jet Lag Lounge on Thursday nights. "The closest town is Chicago," he said. "I personally think the company did not want to bother with me and I was wishing to get it. And now we have it." Amanda Norris, Hutchinson senior who was at The Crossing, said she wanted to try out the system soon but just needed to work up the courage.
