With control of Congress and key statehouses in the balance, President Clinton hunted West Coast votes for Democrats on Sunday in a final, uphill campaign push. Republicans expressed confidence they would capture control of the Senate, and perhaps the House, as well. "Ill be happy with a one-vote victory," said Texas GOP gubernatorial challenger George W. Bush, speaking for nervous candidates everywhere. With voters expressing widespread anger and disillusionment, the polls all pointed to major, midterm Republican congressional gains. "Obviously we're going to lose some seats in the House and in the Senate," conceded White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. Even so, he said on CBS' Sunday Morning, "we have a very good chance" of holding both houses for the final two years of Clinton's turn. NATO planes buzz Sarajevo in air show SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) ?

Another U.N. official spoke by phone with the Bosnian Serbs at their headquarters in Pale, east of Sarajevo. Both sides were given "the same kind of warning" about the deteriorating situation, said Rose's spokesman, Lt. Col. Tim Spicer. He did not elaborate. Fighting around the capital reignited Saturday when government forces fired four mortar shells from the southern suburb of Hrasnica at Bosnian Serb positions in Hidza, southwest of the capital, said UJN. military spokesman Maj. Koos Sol. TODAY Today is Monday, Nov. 7, the 311th day of 1994. There are 54 days left in the year. On this date: In 1874, the Republican Party was symbolized as an elephant in a cartoon drawn by Thomas Nast in Harper's Weekly. In 1893, the state of Colorado granted its women the right to vote. In 1916, Republican Jeannette Rankin of Montana became the first woman elected to Congress. In 1917, Russia's Bolshevik Revolution took place as forces led by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin overthrew the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky. In 1962, Richard M. Nixon, having lost California's gubernatorial race, held what he called his "last press conference," telling reporters, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore." In 1962, former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt died in New York City. In 1963, the all-star Cinerama comedy "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" had its world premiere in Hollywood. In 1972, President Nixon was re-elected in a landslide over Democrat George McGovern. In 1973, Congress overrode President Nixon's veto of the War Powers Act, which limits a chief executive's power to wage war without congressional approval.

PICTURETHIS Obesity in Household Dogs Approximately 20,000,000 of 50,500,000 OARRIEL MADDEN The Gamecock Source:The New York Times RAs, resider LAURA HALL Staff Writer Rumors that Capstone would go co-ed next year were received with mixed feelings by students. According to Director of Housing and Residential Services Gene Luna, the rearrangement of Preston to hold a co-ed residential college requires the relocation of about 170 spaces for men. "We needed to find housing for those men that would be similar in style, in suites, we considered Sims and Capstone," he said. The proposal would place men on the top five floors of Capstone, and women would remain on the lower floors. Details about visitation and RA assignments have not yet been decided upon, but there are concerns about where the displaced women will be housed. "I think it's a great idea though some people won't agree with it. Where do you put the displaced women and RAs?" RA Vickie Moore said.
