Commitment to service programs highlights run-off debate

By FINN PRESSLY Senior Staff Writer

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 Becker/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.” Both tickets expressed strong interest in AMANDA HUGHES/The Observer Smith and Andre’s Dinner with Seven Brian Becker (right) and Nikki McCord (center) debate with Brooke Norton and Brian Moscona Tuesday night in see DEB ATE/page 4 the Hesburgh Library. page 2 The Observer ♦ INSIDE Wednesday, February 14, 2001

Speaker: Dr. Angus Neil Morrison-Saunders Guest Lecturer from Murdoch University WESTERN A USTRALIA Date: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 Time: 4:00 p.m. Location: DeBartolo Hall, Room 217

ABSTRACT

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a major tool promoted and used internationally for the protection and management of the environment. It was adopted in each of the conventions arising from the Rio Earth Summit in 1992. But how does the process operate in practice? Does EIA protect the environment? Is EIA based on good science? How do socio-economic and political factors affect the process? This seminar will present the major findings of research into the utility and effectiveness of environmental impact assessment conducted by Dr. x ^ /'VI Angus Morrison-Saunders over the last ten years. ^ / MANFRED HONECK.

Fresh-baked Pinochet’s lawyers Cini-minis f appeal indictments for Maximum taste. kidnapping, homocide Minimum price.

Associated 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 attorney 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 1973 coup led by Pinochet. The remains of 18 of the victims were never recovered.
