With the race for student body president down to just two tickets, last night's candi­ date forum focused mainly on a close exami­ nation of each ticket's platform goals. Ryan Becker and Nikki McCord faced opponents Brooke Norton and Brian Moscona in a two-hour debate with ques­ tions coming from a panel of guests, audi­ ence members and the candidates. The debate came just one day after an election that saw service-oriented candidates Demetra Smith and Yogeld Andre come within 3 percent of passing Becker and McCord for the second runoff position. Smith/Andre received 20 percent while Beeker/McCord garnered 23. Norton/Moscona gained 42 percent of the primary votes. With those results in mind, many of the questions centered on each ticket's commit­ ment to service. "We want to serve students while allowing students to serve others," said Norton. "This election has shown that students are inter­ ested in social issues."

CHILE

Fresh-baked Pinochet's lawyers Cini-·minis for just 99(. appeal indictments for Maximum taste. kidnapping, homocide Minim-um price. .Associaled Press SANTIAGO Lawyers for former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet appealed his indictment on Tuesday. calling the homicide and kidnapping charges against him "arbitrary, illegal. and unconstitutional." Pinochet lawyer Pablo Rodriguez argued that there is no clear evi­ dence that Pinochet was responsible for dozens of political killings during his 17 -year rule. "I have analyzed 10 cases where he has been accused of participa­ tion but none of them clearly shows he was responsible for these crimes," he said. In a hearing at the Santiago Court of Appeals, Rodriguez also argued that the 85-year-old Pinochet is not healthy enough to stand trial. Doctors last month said Pinochet suffers from .. moderate demen- tia" brought on by minor strokes. He also has diabetes and arthritis, and wears a pacemaker. Speaking with reporters after the hearing, prosecuting attor~ey Eduardo Contreras challenged Rodriguez's assertion that a medical report had found Pinochet unfit to stand further questioning in the case. "It's a lie," he said. Pinochet was placed under house arrest Jan. 29, after he was for­ mally notified of the homicide and kidnapping charges filed two days earlier. The charges stem from the "Caravan of Death,"' one of the most notorious cases of human rights abuses during Pinochet's 1973-90 dictatorship. The caravan was a military group that executed 75 political prisoners shortly after the 197.3 coup led by Pinochet. The remains of 18 of the victims were never recovered.
