security forces blocked roads
around the republic's capital
after a series of attacks,
some blamed on a nationalist
paramilitary army, claimed
the lives of a local lawmaker
and an officer in another
militia.
Troops in armored vehicles
moved into place after
Armenia's parliament declared
the republic under
emergency rule Wednesday
and banned the paramilitary
army, which has attacked police
stations and gas depots
to equip itself in its conflict
with hostile Azerbaijani
neighbors.
The republic's parliament
also declared a nighttime
curfew. An Interior Ministry
officer said troops were
guarding all roads to Yerevan,

Robert Whitesel had lived on
Nuclear Drive for 29 years,
and the street name seemed
grimly appropriate as he
surveyed the tornadowhipped
wreckage of his
house and those of his
~ neighbors.
I "You have to laugh ?
you can't cry," Whitesel said
Wednesday. "I'll probably
rebuild it In the meantime,
I'll live with my daughter."
At least 24 people were
killed and more than 300 injured
Tuesday by the tornadoes,
which steamrolled virtually
without warning
across a region known as
"Tornado Alley," about 35
miles southwest of Chicago.
Damage was estimated at
more than $100 million.
Fant apologizes
for using office
House Ethics records
show that Rep. Ennis Fant
apologized for using his legislative
office for personal
business only after the committee
said it might hold a
formal hearing if his apology
wasn't acceptable, records
show.
The committee announced
this week that it had reprimanded
Fant in the first such
punitive move it has ever
made. The committee said
that it found "probable
cause" that Fant violated
state law by using his legislative
office for financial
gain in interviewing candidates
for an escort service.

USC officials, who might begin interviewing pres
idential candidates in as early as six weeks, have hire<
a consulting firm to review resumes and recommen<
people for the university's top spot.
The Washington-based firm was hired because th<
committee believed it needed an impartial, outsid<
consultant to assist with the selection process, com
mittee chairman Mark Buyck said.
"We felt the need to get professional assistance t<

Buyck said. "We've gotten some good input fron

For most executive positions at the university, can
didates are brought in to be interviewed, but Buycl
said the committee might have to go to the candidate:
for the presidential position.
"Because of the confidential nature of our mission
it may be dangerous to bring in candidates. We ma1,
have to go to them," he said.
Stephen Benjamin, Student Government presiden
and committee member, said he is pleased with th<
committee's diversity.
"The search is going well. We have a lot of quali
fied people on the committee ? students, faculty
staff and trustees," Benjamin said. "Everyone is realb
working hard and working together."
