Eager to declare victory ] and begin their Easter recess, Senate leaders sought to revive a stalled $15 billion package of cuts in social programs after liberal Democrats balked at a potential compromise. Majority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan., and Mi- , nority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., labored to rrrnnnrl nn fho mpasnrp Thlirsdav af liliu IXXiUVUV VAX wxxw ?. ? ^ ^ ter Democrats rejected a tentative deal the two men ? with the backing of President Clinton ? had struck Wednesday night. , That agreement would have protected pro- ( grams for children, housing and jobs from some , Republican-sought cuts while slashing other programs even deeper, raising its total savings to $16 billion. But Democrats, worried that the deal still wounded anti-poverty initiatives that the party has long defended, rebuffed their leader and rejected it. "It's more than numbers," said Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. "It's policy. It's principle. It's a ques'tion of what you stand for." WASHINGTON (AP) ? The train they call the City of New Orleans will be cut from seven to five days a week, the Broadway Limited to Chicago will end at Pittsburgh and Houston residents who want to ride the Texas Eagle north will have to start with a bus trip to Dallas. Amtrak dropped the other shoe Thursday, announcing a series of service cuts scheduled to take place in June and September as the passenger railroad tries to eliminate red ink. Without the cutbacks, which will total 24 percent of the railroad's routes when complete, Amtrak might have been facing bankruptcy by the president of the railroad.

News Editor Fliers promoting "Beer Night At Bates House" have appeared around campus, claiming to provide fine quality beer to students over 21. But according to university officials, the beer night does not exist. "Somebody just felt like making a few pranks Tat the expense of others," said Jeny Brewer, director of Student Life. The fliers claim affiliation with the university and say, "USC has agreed to provide a more natural study environment for its students and faculty." According to the flier, beer of the finest quality would be offered at Bates House cafeteria to 21-year-old students with a valid driver's license. The flier said that if enough students participated, Beer Night would become a weekly event. ** ' - A. TA - ? - ? ?

"I think it was a sick joke," said Carl Chandler, general manager of Dining Services. "Marriott has nothing to do with that. Someone was just playing games. There is no beer night because it is against university policy." Fliers were found near Capstone, Gambrell, the Humanities buildings and the Bates area. University policy requires approval of fliers k before they can be displayed on campus, but officials said the fliers did not come from their of fices. $ H O W "University policy does require approval of fliers,' but students put things up all the time," Brewer said. ' Chandler said he does not understand why students would want to spend Satruday night in a dining hall. "I would think most students are interested t Show 'n campus on the weekend," he said. The beer night was to be held Satwday night in the cafeteria. "The fliers seemed real to me, and I was wondering since when did the university sponsor drinking on campus, especially in an area where there are a lot of freshmen. Whoever pulled the prank didn't have anything better to do," said 1 BEER page 2 /orld Health Week calls >r awareness, action MIFER HUSTON Staff Writer (y ^ ^ experj.
