MOSCOW ? President Boris 1
Yeltsin and his chief political
rival survived attempts Sunday 1
by the Russian Congress to
remove them from office, the
T-*?e? ?,.,,.1
llllGl IcXA I1GW5 1CJJW1IGU.
Citing unidentified Kremlin
sources, Interfax said about 590
legislators voted for Yeltsin's
ouster, well short of the 689 i
votes needed to remove him. <
The news agency also said i
about 400 lawmakers voted to 1
replace Congress speaker Ruslan
Khasbulatov. At least 517 votes, :
a simple majority of the 1,033- 1
member Congress, would have
been needed to remove \
Khasbulatov. ,
Legislators were waiting in the j
Grand Kremlin Palace for the ]
official announcement of the
results of their secret ballot. !
The vote followed Congress' ^
rejection of a compromise pro- 1
posed by Yeltsin and
Khasbulatov in an effort to end a
long power struggle between the
parliament and president.

Special to The Gamecock
The recent arrest of two USC stude
by Key West police in connection with
Spring Break rape of a Virginia T<
woman points out vividly what an incre
ing number of prosecutors and rape co
selors know ? that Spring Break is
most risky period for sexual assault t
many women will face in their lives.
It is difficult to confirm with hard nt
bers, though, because a very small perct
age of rapes get reported to authorii
under any circumstances.
But a woman traveling with frien
hundreds of miles from home, snend
considerable amounts of effort and moi
to have a good time, may be disinclinec

She will also be daunted by
prospects of dealing with authorities ii

Truce hole
By The Associated Press tl
Deep snow apparently helped a
cease-fire take hold Sunday as j'
U.N. officials battled the elements n
in another attempt to get food and ^
medicine to the Muslim enclave of
Srebrenica. 0
Alija Izetbegovic, president of b
Bosnia's Muslim-led government, h
said he would give Bosnian Serbs B
10 to 15 days to accept the U.N.- Sl
sponsored peace plan he signed last
week.
The truce ? the longest in the v
year-old civil war ? followed two u
of the quietest days of the year-old P
war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, slight- v
ly raising hopes that this cease-fire
might stick. Earlier accords col- P
lapsed quickly. P
"These have been the first six P
hours of peace in a year," Manojlo S
Milovanovic, chief-of-staff of the P
Bosnian Serb forces, told The
Associated Press. "I'm very satis- P
fied." a
More than 130,000 people have e:
been killed or are missing in the e:
war over Bosnia's secession from P
Serb-dominated Yugoslavia. About P
2 million have fled their homes. n
Just five minutes before the
truce, three people were killed and
five were seriously wounded in P
brief shelling near the presidency
building in downtown Sarajevo, P
Bosnian radio said.
Seven shells hit the airport in
Tuzla just after noon, damaging ^
two helicopters, said British Maj. ^
