Taiwan president leaves party post after political upset

TAIPEI Taiwan’s president resigned as leader of the ruling Nationalist Party on Friday, becoming the biggest victim of the opposition’s stunning upset in Taiwan’s presidential elections. Since the party’s humiliating defeat in Saturday’s election, protesters have demonstrated out­ side the Nationalists’ headquarters, demand­ ing that President Lee Teng-hui resign imme­ diately as party chairman. Lee. who has led Taiwan for 12 years, had offered to step down in September. Then on Thursday, he told party leaders he would resign today. Vice President Lien Chan, who finished a distant third in the presidential vote, was to serve as the party’s acting chairman. Although the media dubbed Lee “Mr. Democracy” because he presided over Taiwan’s democratic reforms, he ruled his party like an authoritar­ ian.

The Graffiti Dance is Notre Dame reality. It may not be pretty, it may be a meat market, but that is Notre Dame. In a very real way, it does “orient” one to ND. Ever been to a party? That’s reality. I feel like every night at Senior Bar is really “free-undergrad night” for the Law School...

King and Glen Miller, Christian’s sound ranges from rough blues to smooth swing to mellow jazz. Most impressively, Christian doesn’t have anything planned for tonight. How is this impressive you ask? He will be making it up as he goes along — straight improv. Christian played at the Blues Festival two years ago and makes appearances at AcoustiCafe, and he also appeared in NAZZ last year. The most memorable moment for Christian from last year’s performance was rolling a piano down the sidewalk. In the frantic search for an instrument, he was caught unprepared and winged it quite successfully. “Making a fool of myself in front of a large crowd is always a good idea,” Christian said. And when it comes to cars, Christian sees himself as a shoddy muffler. “It makes a lot of noise but keeps a rhythm going anyways.”
