The details, they added, "are simply part of a hit-and-run smear campaign, and their inclusion says volumes about the (independent counsel's) tactics and objectives." To support his allegations that Clinton committed perjury and obstructed justice to hide his adulterous relationship with Monica Lewinsky, Starr included in his report to Congress last week pages of explicit details relating to 10 sexual encounters between Clinton and Lewinsky. The president's lawyers now face an elaborate balancing act ? acknowledging that Clinton's admitted affair with Lewinsky and his subse quent lying about it were terribly wrong, while at the same time vigorously deny^ ing any impeachable offenses and de" picting Starr as an overzealous, perhaps prurient prosecutor. Clinton's lawyers clearly hope that Starr has overplayed his hand with concern what the lawyers cadi the "pornographic specificity" of his report. "The document I , is at bottom overreaching in an exN M C M II travagant effort to find a case where ecause Committee working to areer improve offer a pVOC d work continued from page 1 some students might take advantage V I I I I I J I ajr&wsiii. "I think, generally, our policy has been to believe what the student is telling us on the appeal was true," he said.

"We do 9hun those who try to * ' / take advantage of it (the appeals system)," he said. "Thaf s why we're going * S S f" U I t? enhance the appeals process. We're trying to develop a historybased system so the appellant committee can identify repeat (parking) offenders." Immediate treatment necessary for STDs STP continued from page 1 "[Even if] you don't show symptoms, you could be infected and don't know it," Sheffield said. This, she stated, is one of the biggest misconceptions regarding STDs. At the Thomson Student Heath Center, anyone can make an appointment to be tested for STDs. The biggest problem with testing is that most viral STDs cannot be tested for unless there is a breakout. Immediacy is important in testing and treatment of any STD, because serious long-term medical problems can result from lack of treatment, includ: uig mieiimt). Vince Roberts, Douglas residence hall director, said his biggest fear about STDs is that "students won't be responsible for their own actions and take proper precautions in order to prevent STDs." Nationally, 80 percent of college freshmen are sexually active. Of that 80 percent, 50 percent used a condom the last time they were sexually active, and 20 percent used a condom every time they had intercourse, according to the Sexual Health and Sexual Assault Services. rsen Though abstinence is the only ab- I - . solute way to prevent STDs, conI I "f" I n doms, spermicide and dental dams W I LI II U greatly reduce the risk of contracting these very serious illnesses. \ i I irM ^lnPT^'TH ?111* t's lawyer rtives. deta / t recommt there is none," their response said. 1 Starr spokesman Charles Bakaly { declined comment Saturday. But in his report, Starr said the ^ explicit details were necessary to prove the perjury and obstruction-of-justice y charges, and to show the extent to 1 which Clinton lied and covered up his 1 actions. \ "Many of the details reveal high- f ly personal information; many are ^ sexually explicit," Starr conceded. "This is unfortunate, but it is essential." < After a four-year investigation, 1 the last seven months of it on the | Lewinsky matter, Starr submitted a 445-page report to Congress last Wednesday outlining what he called ' "substantial and credible" evidence of 1 impeachable offenses. The report was released publicly 5 on Friday, including on the Internet, 1 making it instantly available to a s worldwide audience in an unprecedented way. On Saturday, members of Con- ^ gress seemed to be anxiously awaiting the public's response before de- \ riding how to respond. c In his weekly radio address, Clin- v ton asked people to focus on public is- c sues, not his personal travails. "It has been an exhausting and difficult week in the capital, not on- c ly for me but for many others," Clin- t ton said. "As I told my Cabinet on t Thursday, we cannot lose sight of our e primary mission, which is to work for the American people and especially for the future of our children." Vice President A1 Gore, one of * those with most to gain, or lose, from t a nasty impeachment process, broke c Viio cilonro nn Starr's rViarcroQ cavincr they do not establish sufficient grounds g for removing the president. "I do not believe this report serves as the basis for overturning the judg- ^ ment of the American people ... that I Bill Clinton should be their president," c Gore said. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, RGa., meanwhile, maintained his studied tone of judiciousness rather than accusation. * "Now we're in a period of judgment that I think is very sobering," Gin- t grich said in Georgia. i "We're working very hard with Democratic leadership to be calm, to be fair, to do everything so that we're doing it as Americans ? not as De- 1 mocrats, not as Republicans." i But Gingrich also said: "The pres- 1 idency was made honorable by George < Washington. It was made noble by Abraham Lincoln. Judge Starr's report is very troubling, particularly when measured { against that standard." 1 The early indicators in the polls 1 showed 63 percent of Americans still j believed Clinton should not be im- | peached, a CNN poll found. That was a drop of seven percentage Doints from a survev taken * in August when Clinton admitted his ] relationship with Lewinsky. < An ABC poll taken Friday evening ] said 57 percent think Clinton should , be impeached if he encouraged Lewinsky to he about their relationship ? an increase of 14 points on that question since Aug. 21. 1 Still, the president's job approval rating held steady near 60 percent, , as it has since the Lewinsky contro- ( versy broke into the open in January. Starr's report detailed several individual accusations. First of all, ^ the independent counsel asserted, ] Clinton lied both to Paula Jones' i Students u from Safe Ri SAFE RIDE continued from page 1 or a phone number that students had to call. In all cases, the majority of students said they would use the service, although most would rather see it free of charge. Although Travers was generally pleased with the survey results, the survey uncovered some opposition to the program as well. "The main complaint that people have is that they want Safe Ride to take people to Five Points, but that would perpetuate drinking," Travers said. "This isn't the Madhatter's bus." Travers' committee met Wednes day and talked about their plans to implement Safe Ride now that the statistics have been compiled. This week, Travers plans on calling Puli *s argue ils in im mdation awyers and to a grand jury about the iffair with Lewinsky. In addition, Starr charged, Clin;on obstructed justice by discussing vith Lewinsky ways tc hide their reationship from Jones' lawyers, by oiowingly allowing his aides to give "alse testimony and by trying to inluence the testimony of his secretary, 3etty Currie. More broadly, the independent :ounsel charged that Clinton abused lis office by misleading the American jeople about the affair. The president's lawyers, Kendall ind Ruff, rebutted each of those points n their response Saturday. "The Office of Independent Counsel has presented to the House a referral that no prosecutor would present to any jury," they said, a sentiment echoed by several other lejal experts. But impeachment is a political irocess at least as much as a legal ine, and members of Congress were varily exploring both of those aspects Saturday. Most lawmakers fled Washington luickly after the report was released o campaign in their districts, listen o constituents and sift through the ixplosive details. Several members of the House Juliciaiy Committee, though, stayed in he capital Saturday to work on maters relating to the inquiry as they onfronted the awesome prospect of indoing American democracy's most acred ritual: presidential election. At least one influential member, Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde, fill., was less than pleased with the kollonrrn qV\qoJ liaxi^iigg cuxuuu. "I'm not happy with the salacious naterial," Hyde told CNN. "It's just an unfortunate aspect of his total picture." With the benefit of an added day ;o peruse Starr's report, some began loticing additional details. In one footnote, for example, Starr suggests that at least one of the tapes urned over to him by Lewinsky's forner friend Linda Tripp might have jeen doctored, according to an FBI jxamination. "These preliminary results raise questions about the reliability and luthenticity of at least one recording, vhich in turn raise questions about ;he accuracy's of Ms. Tripp's testimony regarding her handling of the ;apes," the footnote said. While much of the furor of the last several days has surrounded the report's explicit details and its charges of obstruction of justice, perhaps most telling will be the public's reaction to Starr's final, and in a sense climactic, accusation ? that Clinton broke his oath to uphold the nation's laws. In that count, Starr essentially accuses Clinton of abusing the highest Dffice in the nation. The charge is among the haziest from a legal perspective, but the most powerful from a straightforward ethical viewpoint. mnt m de program liam Ford to talk about leasing or borrowing a van. Travers is optimistic about getting Safe Ride implemented by the end of the semester, even if the service isn't quite perfected. She is hesitant to give an exact date, however. "I think if we put a timetable on this well sell ourselves short (in that) we may not get as good a deal on the van and maybe not get as much funding as we'd like," Travers said. She says that eventually she would like to see Safe Ride develop into something similar to the "P&P service offered at the University of North Carolina, which takes students anywhere in Chapel Hill. A total of 750 students returned the 23-question surveys, which were distributed last year by then-Student Services chair, Mike Moore. 1 {
