Arafat death leads to fears of power vacuum in Palestine
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinians at home and abroad wept, waved flags and burned tires yesterday in an eruption of grief at the death of Yasser Arafat, the man they consider the father of their nation. The quick appointment of successors did little to dispel the huge question marks now hanging over Mideast peace efforts.
Although Arafat's death at 75 led some world leaders to talk about the possibility of a new era, the outlook was also shadowed by fears of a chaotic transition and a strengthening of Islamic militants.
The international funeral was to be held in Egypt, because few Arab leaders would travel to Israeli-controlled Palestinian land; Arafat was to be buried in the West Bank town of
The burial arrangements in themselves showed how disrupted the region is.
Ramallah because Israel refused to approve interment in Jerusalem; and mourners from the Gaza Strip would be barred from traveling across Israeli territory to Ramallah, a security official said.
Though it had been expected for several days as he fell into a coma, Arafat's death stunned Palestinians and left them wondering who could possibly replace their leader of the last four decades.
In France, where Arafat died before dawn Thursday after 13 nights in a Paris military hospital, eight pallbearers carried his flag-draped coffin past an honor guard Thursday evening as a military band played the French and Palestinian national anthems and a Chopin funeral march.
The Palestinian legislature also swore in Speaker Rauhi Fattouh as caretaker president of the Palestinian Authority, the self-ruling power in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, though that position will likely have far less power than when Arafat held it.

CORRECTIONS
An article in the Friday, Nov. 5, issue of The University Daily Kansan needs clarification. The article, "Ethicist to discuss importance of business ethics," stated that Sean Fresen, Chicago junior, left the School of Business because he thought it taught students how to use greed to get ahead. Fresen left because he said he thought the school focused too much on large businesses over small businesses and non-profit organizations, not because of greed. The article also stated that Fresen said greed shapes people's goals. Fresen said greed can shape the goals of highly competitive individuals, not people in general.
■ Thursday's University Daily Kansan contained an error. The brief, "Pulitzer Prize-winning poet to speak at Hall Center," said Rita Dove would speak at the Hall Center. Dove spoke at the Lied Center.
