Page C THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN KS STATE HISTORICAL SOCI PD BOX 350F TOPEKA, KS 66601-3585 THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS NEWS 864-4810 WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1997 ADVERTISING 864-4358 SECTION A VOL.103, NO.157 Ex-Arkansas governor is granted trial delay (USPS 650-640) LITTLE ROCK, Ark. β€” Citing Jim Guy Tucker's health problems following a liver transplant, a federal judge yesterday granted an indefinite delay in the former Arkansas governor's second fraud trial. Tucker, who resigned last year and underwent a liver transplant on Christmas Day, is charged with two others in plotting to hide profits from a multimillion-dollar cable television deal. U. S. District Judge Stephen M. Reasoner cited reports from three of Tucker's doctors who described his medical condition as precarious and doubted he could help with his defense or withstand a lengthy trial. Tucker was convicted last year on one fraud and one conspiracy count in a Whitewater trial with James McDougal and McDougal's ex-wife, Susan. Tucker was sentenced to 18 months of home detention and four years of probation. The ruling left unresolved motions by co-defendants William Marks and John Haley. The judge previously rejected Haley's request for a separate trial but indicated he might reconsider if Tucker was not ready for trial on Sept. 22. Marks joined Tucker's request for a delay, saying the trial should be continued until such time as Tucker is medically able to testify. Greenspan's comment sends market skyward WASHINGTON β€” Calling the economy exceptional, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan indicated there is no need to boost interest rates to fight inflation. That was all Wall Street needed to hear Alan Greenspan to send stocks and bonds soaring. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 154.93 points to a record high of 8,061.65. The ever-cautious Greenspan sought yesterday to strike a balance in delivering his midyear report to Congress. He said while he saw no evidence of increased inflation, the central bank was on the alert for faster-than-expected economic growth that could require the brake of rate hikes down the road. But analysts and investors viewed Greenspan's overall views about the economy as upbeat, especially because he gave no signal that any interest-rate increase was imminent. "The fear of Fed tightening has been removed, at least for the foreseeable future, and that means the financial-market horses can run free and unrestrained," said Sung Won Sohn, chief economist at Northwest Corp. in Minneapolis. Ten killed in rock slide in South African mine JOHANNESBURG. South Africa The 3.7-magnitude tremor rattled the Hartebeestfontein gold mine, 110 miles southwest of Johannesburg, Monday night, said Julian Gwillim, representative for mine operator Aygold Limited. JOHANNESBURG, South Africa β€” A minor earthquake set off an underground rock slide, killing 10 people and leaving eight missing yesterday in a South African gold mine. Thirty miners were taken to a local hospital and another 46 were treated for minor injuries at a mine medical station, Gwillim said. Ashleigh Roberts / KANSAI "Rescue operations are continuing and will not cease until all the missing men have been located," he said yesterday. South Africa is the world's leading gold producer and has some of the deepest mines. β€”The Associated Press Courthalts trafficway Impact study must be done By Paul Eakins Kansan staff writer A federal order put the brakes on the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway last Thursday. U. S. District Judge Tom Van Bebber ruled that a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement would have to be completed before work could continue on the trafficway. The order was the result of a lawsuit brought by Native Americans and environmentalists against the Douglas County Commission and the Kansas Department of Transportation. The Federal Highway Administration also was named in the suit because of its involvement in the project. The plaintiffs were concerned about the environmental impact the trafficway would have on the Baker Wetlands and the areas used by Haskell Indian Nations University and other Native American groups for religious ceremonies. The plaintiffs and their attorney, Bob Eye said they were happy with the ruling. "We feel very strongly that it was the correct decision," Eye said. Plaintiff Thomasine Ross agreed. "I'm elated by the fact that it went our way," Ross said. "I think that the results will be that the trafficway should not pass along there." hoping the impact statements also would be in the plaintiffs' favor. Tim Orrick, the county's attorney, said the defendants had not decided whether to appeal. "We're still in the process of assessing the court's order. We'll determine whether an appeal of the ruling is viable." he said. Even without an appeal, the county intends to complete the remaining five miles of the trafficway because it believes the route is beneficial, Orrick said. However, with the delay caused by this decision, the costs of the trafficway may increase by as much as $3 million from the projected $80 million to $85 million. (2rckd said) "Our No. 1 goal is to explore options that would allow for eventual construction." he said. For now, his main concern is that the judie's order is followed. Should the county appeal, Eye said he would be ready. "We want to make sure that the wetlands are protected, that Haskell's interests are protected," he said. "As someone said long ago, 'The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.' The same is true with the South Lawrence Trafficway." A federal order ends construction on the eastern portion of the Lawrence Trafficway. Native Americans and environmentalists were concerned the thoroughfare would harm the area and interfere with religious ceremonies Mormon youth turn to Gospel at camps Campers visit University from as far as Samoa By Lauren Dials Kansan staff writer Mormon youth from around the world are gathering at the University of Kansas for a week-long church camp. Participants have come from as far away as Samoa and as close as Kansas City. About 300 teens arrived Monday to take part in the camp, which is divided into two age groups. Fifteen-to 18-year-olds attend Especially for Youth, while campers between 12 and 14 are participating in Boys' World of Adventure or Girls' Academy. The 27-year-old program, based at Brigham Young University, takes place in more than 20 cities across the United States and Canada each summer. In all, about 30,000 youth participate each summer. Gordon said attendance has increased since 1990. "We've had a remarkable turnout over the past several years," said Corbin Gordon, Brigham Young University senior and Especially for Youth coordinator. "I've been doing this for three years, and I've seen it grow a lot." As the demand for the program increased, the program was forced to find facilities large enough to accommodate the large numbers of people. That is one of the reasons the University was chosen for this year's camp. "The focus is to teach the youth how the gospel of Jesus Christ can enhance every aspect of their lives," Gordon said. "We've designed our program so that it provides upliftment in all areas of their lives. We deal with family, peer pressure and dating and we teach them that in all things they can turn to Christ and be uplifted and strengthened." "We've been very impressed with KU's conference staff," Gordon said. "The facilities are some of the best we've ever seen, and we've been to a lot of universities." This year's theme, "Treasure the Truth," is based on a verse from the Book of Mormon. Gordon hopes that the theme will help to teach the participants to treasure parts of their lives that might be taken for granted, such as family and friends, scriptures and being a member of the church. "We try to locate ourselves in areas where we can be reached by anyone who wants to come," Gordon said. The University's location also was a factor. Three hundred Mormon teens participate in camp games and activities held at the University this week. attending her fourth summer in the Especially for Youth program. Because she'll be too old next year, this is Duncan's last year to participate in the camp. But she said she hoped someday to become a counselor. "It's really fun," Duncan said. "We learn a lot in our classes, and we get to meet a lot of different people. It's a pretty different experience." The Mormon Church was located in Missouri before moving to Utah, and camp participants will be visiting three historic Mormon sites in Missouri. On Friday, the youth will visit the Liberty jail, where Joseph Smith, the religion's founder, was jailed. They will also visit Far West, a town originally established by Mormons, and Adaom-ondi-alaman, which translated means "Adam in the place of God," the place where Mormon's believe the Garden of Eden was located.

Sullivan joins other student leaders on trip to Israel Tolerance will be focus of speakers at seminar By Tamara Miller Kansan staff writer mise on a niday travel seminar in Israel mise on a nine- Conflicts about parking and faculty evaluations are nothing compared to combat in the Middle East. But this August, amid the gas masks and bombs, the student body president will learn the art of compro- Sullivan and 11 seminar in Israel. "Deep down there's a little twinge of fear that something could happen while I'm there," said Scott Sullivan, Leawood senior. "I'm sure I'll be fine." Scott Sullivan "I am interested to meet other student leaders and to learn from their experiences," he said. other student leaders from the Midwest were selected to attend the seminar, which was organized and funded by Project Interchange, an educational Institute organized by the American Jewish Committee. Sullivan will leave Aug. 5 for New York where he will meet the other U.S. student leaders. The group will depart for Israel on Aug. 6 and return on Aug. 15.. The 11 participants come from colleges in the Midwest. The group will spend the seminar learning from Palestinian, Arab and Israeli students about the conflict in the Middle East, the Jewish culture in Israel and the Israeli government. Sullivan said that he was impressed that the program was offering different viewpoints. Andrea Rifkind, associate director of Project Interchange said that one of the goals of the institute was to promote tolerance. "We really believe that our participants should be able to form their own opinions on the conflict." Rifkind said. "We hope students can integrate this into their roles as leaders." Sullivan said that this was the first time he had had the opportunity to meet other student body leaders. He said he was interested in what the student issues were at other universities and how the student leaders dealt with those issues. "There are a lot of differences between each university's student government," he said. "But student issues tend to be the same across the board." Riffkind said that in the past the seminar had been successful in promoting greater cultural sensitivity and teaching students the art of compromise. "We hope they gain insight from the Middle-East peace process and gain insight from the other students in the program," she said.
