Price of programs for
poor biggest concern
1 WASHINGTON — The real
treat at a recent brown-bag
lunch for 16 anti-poverty activists
was supposed to be a briefing on
President Clinton’s forthcoming
1 welfare initiative.
But by the time White House
domestic policy adviser Jeremy
Ben-Ami finished, it seemed that
the administration’s chief con
cern wasn’t improving programs
for the poor, but the price tag.
“We’d suggest something and
he’d say, ‘If we fix that, here’s
what it costs,”’ said Jennifer
Vasiloff, executive director of the
Coalition on Human Needs. “It
was discouraging to have that as
the overriding concern.”
In the zero-sum game of elimi
nating annual deficits by 2002,
many programs for low-income
Americans may be on the chop
ping block.
Yasser Arafat accepts
Israeli withdrawal
2 TEL AVIV, Israel — Jordan’s
King Hussein persuaded Yass
er Arafat Sunday to accept a pro
longed Israeli withdrawal from
West Bank rural areas, sources
said, in a concession that could
hasten a comprehensive accord
on expanding Palestinian autono
my.
“We can envision the end of the
negotiation in sight,” said Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Ne
tanyahu after meeting with Hus
sein. “Because of the important
initiative His Majesty took, we
have made considerable
progress.”
Earlier in Gaza, Yasser Arafat
agreed to Hussein’s proposal that
Israel could prolong its three
stage withdrawal from West Bank
rural areas, narrowing the gap on
the key sticking point in the talks,
a top Palestinian official told The
Associated Press.
Two female Citadel
cadets will not return
3 CHARLESTON, S.C. — Two
female Citadel cadets who said
they endured freshman hazing
that included having their clothes
set afire announced Sunday they ■
would not return to the military
college.
“The school’s promises to me
and my family that knob life
would be rough but safe were crit
ical to me,” Jeanie Mentavlos of
Charlotte, N.C., said in a state
ment released by her attorney.
“Because The Citadel broke its
promise, I cannot return.”
While a federal judge had of
fered to take steps to assure the
women’s safety, “it is apparent to
me...that while I might be physi
cally safe on campus, I would not
be welcome,” Kim Messer of
Clover said in a similar statement.
Eleven male cadets face disci
plinary action.
