Kerrey wins South Dakota
tallied, Bush had 69 percent and
uncommitted 31 percent. The news
had to be sobering for the White House,
coming on the heels of Pat Buchanan’s
37 percent showing in New Hamp
shire’s GOP primary a week ago.
“In this case, the uncommited slate
represents an anybody-but-Bush
ticket,” said political analyst Stuart
Rothenberg. “Pat Buchanan cam
paigned day and night in New Hamp
shire and drew 37 percent. And here,
a nonexistent candidate who didn’t
campaign drew nearly as much of the
vote.”
The results closed the campaign
book on a preliminary round of single
state contests with few delegates at
stake.
Kerrey said his victory had cata
pulted him into the thick of the
Democratic race.
“Tonight, we’ve struck gold in the
black hills of South Dakota,” he told
supporters at a victory rally. “There’s
no question we’ve gotten a solid vic
tory here and tonight we’re going to
begin a rush for gold.”

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Bob
Kerrey won the South Dakota pri
mary Tuesday, the latest Democrat to
gain a regional victory in a curious
presidential campaign lacking a na
tional frontrunner.
President Bush won unopposed,
but was buffeted by a strong GOP
protest vote.
Kerrey, from
next-door Ne
braska, had 40

state rival, Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin,
had 26 percent while Arkansas Gov.
Bill Clinton crossed regional lines
and ran a respectable third at 19 per
cent.
Paul Tsongas was a far-away fourth,
unable to capitalize on last week’s
New Hampshire victory. Jerry Brown
trailed, and was certain to lose his
eligibility for federal campaign match
ing funds.

Senate gives China
conditional status
Bill requires
more progress
in human rights
WASHINGTON —The Senate
voted Tuesday to slap new condi
tions on renewing normal trade
relations with China but fell well
short of the two-thirds necessary to
override President Bush’s prom
ised veto.
The 59-39 vote followed an un
usual secret session of the full Senate
to review intelligence about Bei
jing’s arms sales to the Middle
East.
The compromise bill would re
quire “substantial progress” by
China in the areas of human rights,
trade and weapons proliferation
before most-favored-nation trade
status could be renewed. That trade
status expires in June.
The House approved the condi
tional measure409-21 lastNovem
ber, and it now goes to the White
House. The Senate tally was eight
votes short of the two-thirds that
would be needed to override a veto
if all senators voted.
The Beijing government Tues
day spoke of unspecified “major
breakthroughs” in U.S.-China trade
talks now going on in the Chinese
capital. China at the same time
revealed the convictions of seven
more dissidents from the 1989 pro
democracy movement.
After fervent debate last sum
mer, the issue of U.S. policy to
ward China had lain dormant for
months. Action by the Senate’s
Democratic leaders to revive it now
was seen at least in part as an
election-year effort to embarrass
the administration by highlighting
what has been an unpopular pol
icy.
Talks stall as Palestinians attack Israeli self-rule otters
WAS H INGTON—Israelis negotiators said
they were prepared to discuss Palestinian self
rule Tuesday, but the Palestinians rejected the
proposals likening them to apartheid.
The sharp disagreement slowed the peace
making process. Even selecting the site for the
next round ran into trouble. Chief Israeli nego
tiator Elyakim Rubinstein said only his gov
ernment had responded to a U.S. request for
suggested locations.
“It’s a pity time has to be wasted on such
things,” Rubinstein said at a news conference.
Hanan Ashrawi, spokeswoman for the Pal
estinians, described documents submitted by
Israel Monday night as “an insult to our intel
ligence” because they perpetuated the Israeli
occupation of the West Bank and Gaza and
endorsed continued Jewish settlements of the
disputed territories.
Rubinstein said the “really elaborate ideas”
did not amount to a blueprint for self-rule, but
dealt with giving Palestinians who live under
Israeli control considerable control over their
day-to-day activities.

affordable Macintosh computer systems and an easy credit plan. Stop by

Apple Macintosh computer system was created just for you!
“We hope the Palestinians will be seriously
considering them,” he said.
Eventually, Rubinstein said, “they should
be elaborated further into a more detailed model”
for self-rule.
Rubinstein said, the issue of Jewish settle
ments should be deferred until territorial prob
lems arc taken up later in the negotiations.
Ashrawi said the Palestinian negotiators would
refuse to discuss self-rule until the issues of
settlements and human rights in lands the Arabs
lost in the 1967 Six-Day War are resolved.
The day’s bargaining at the State Depart
ment mostly dealt inconclusively with a proce
dural issue, where the next round of talks
would be held. Jordan proposed extending the
current sessions here until March 11 and Israel
agreed to consider the suggestion.
Rubinstein said he doubted it would be
accepted. After two weeks of bargaining the
Israeli negotiators must consult with their
government in Jerusalem, he said.
Players cited for assault
From Staff and Wire Reports
Seven UNL football players were issued 12
citations after an alleged fight with members of
the UNL baseball team Friday night, according
to Lincoln Police.
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said Tuesday
that two of the players allegedly involved in the
fight are no longer on the team.
T know the facts, and we’ll stand by our
decision. They won’t play any more football at
Nebraska,” Osborne said.
Osborne said he would not give the names of
the players removed from the team. He said
other players allegedly involved would be
suspended for part or all of spring practice but
would not say how many others were sus
pended.
The players are scheduled to appear in
Lancaster County Court over a three-day pe
riod beginning March 11. City Attorney Bill
Austin said Tuesday no formal charges had
been filed.
Police U David Beggs said a group includ
ing some baseball players forced two football
players to leave a house party Friday night
because the football players would not pay a
cover charge for beer at the party.
The two came back later with other mem
bers of the football team and a fight allegedly
ensued, Beggs said.
Six members of the baseball team and one
former player were injured, Beggs said. Sev
eral of them were treated and released from
Lincoln General hospital.
Police identified the football players as:
• Brian Havens, 19, cited for disturbing the
r- ■■■ ■ -- ■ _
peace and trespassing. Havens, a scholarship
linebacker, is from Los Alamitos, Calif.
• Jeffery Hughes, 20, cited for assault and
trespassing. Hughes, a walk-on receiver, is
from Norfolk.
• Lance Gray, 21, cited for assault and
disturbing the peace. Gray, a walk-on line
backer, is from Oswego, N.Y.
• Zach Wiegert, 19, cited for trespassing
and assault. Wiegert, a scholarship lineman, is
from Fremont.
• Raymond Reifenrath, 23, cited for assault
and criminal mischief. Reifenrath, a walk-on
lineman, is from Dakota City.
• Todd Gragnano, 20, cited for trespassing.
Gragnano, a scholarship quarterback, is irom
Fountain Valley, Calif.
• Terrence Connealy, 19, cited for trespass
ing. Connealy, a scholarship lineman, is from
Hyannis.
Lt. Lee Wagner said he did not know which
two players initially visited the party.
Osborne said the players who relumed to the
party were ‘‘out of line.”
‘‘We’ve always told them that they have to
walk away from these kinds of things, because
they never win.
‘‘This is embarrassing to the program, to the
team and to me," he said.
Wagner said the incident still was being
investigated, and more citations could be is
sued, depending on the results of the investiga
tion.
‘‘We arc going to continue talking to those
involved in the incident and see if we can’t get
any more information,” Wagner said.
