The convoy Friday night and the arrival
Sunday of a 20-member advance
team to prepare for the mission of 2,000
unarmed observers signified more Yugoslav
compliance with Western demands
to end the conflict in Kosovo.
NATO on Friday decided to extend
the deadline until Oct. 27, allowing
10 days to reduce Yugoslav forces in
Kosovo. About 400 NATO warplanes
will be kept ready for possible airstrikes
if Yugoslavia fails to meet its promises.
Late Friday night, 144 army tanks,
artillery trucks and other vehicles were
seen driving in the direction of the
provincial border with Serbia.
While journalists were unable to follow
the convoy due to unsafe conditions
at night, it was considered virtually certain
the vehicles continued on to bases
in Serbia.
A Yugoslav official said Sunday that
President Slobodan Milosevic will withdraw
forces in time to meet the new,
pushed-back deadline.

been pulling his troops out of Kosovo,"

to London, told British Broadcasting

said.
Sharpe played for the Packers
seven years. Although doctors told him
he could have kept playing despite a
neck injury, he decided to end his
football career.
What began as a joke between
friends turned into Sharpe auditioning
as a broadcaster covering football for
ESPN. Out of sixteen other applicants,
Sharpe proved to be the best and is now
a football analyst for ESPN's_NFL
Gameday and NFL Prime Monday.
Sharpe was honored by the award,
but he claims he does not like the attention
or being recognized.
"I was a great football player, but
was never given an opportunity to be
known as a great person. I say what
the people want me to say," Sharpe stated.
The Alumni Association Honorary
Life Member award was given to Dr.
Yakir Aharonov and L. Fred Miller.
Aharonov is internationally recognized
in the field of quantum physics and is
the only South Carolina academician
named to the National Academy of Sciences.
Miller retired from being senior
resident vice president of Merrill
Lynch and is a loyal supporter of the
University's School of Music and USC

Feb. 28 against ethnic Albanian separatists.
Hundreds of people have been killed
by Serb forces, while Kosovo Liberation
Army rebels have also killed more than
200 Serb policemen, civilians and ethnic
Albanians loyal to Milosevic's government.
In Washington, the Clinton administration
said Friday that Yugoslav
compliance with the U.S.-brokered
agreement on Kosovo was substantial,
but not yet enough to head off the
possibility of airstrikes.
"We believe NATO's guns should
remain cocked and NATO's military
commander should remain in a position
to act," said State Department
spokesman James P. Rubin.
An advance team for the OSCE, Europe's
main problem-solving alliance,
arrived in Belgrade to prepare for getting
the 2,000 monitors into Kosovo.
The 13 staffers were to be joined by
about seven others by the time they get
to the provincial capital of Pristina on
next Sunday.
OSCE spokeswoman Melissa Fleming
said in Vienna that the group hopes
to have a sizable number of monitors
in place in Kosovo within two weeks.
The government signed a deal on
Friday with the 54-nation Organization
for Security and Cooperation in
Europe to let the OSCE "verifiers" monitor

NATO U-2 surveillance planes were
expected to begin flying over Kosovo
Sunday under an agreement signed
with Yugoslavia, a U.S. official said Friday
in Washington, on condition of
anonymity. There was no immediate
confirmation that the flights had begun.
'OSCE chairman Bronislaw Geremek,
Poland's foreign minister, said
Friday that the Yugoslav government
had guaranteed the safety of the unarmed
ground force and he would ask
NATO to do the same.
Teams of diplomatic observers who
pulled out of Kosovo last week under
the threat of possible NATO airstrikes
were operating Sunday, said a U.S. official
in Pristina, on condition of
anonymity.
After meeting with the main ethnic
Albanian leader, Ibrahim Rugova, Geremek
said in Pristina: "I have received
assurances from Mr. Rugova about his
participation in the peace process."
But the rebel KLA issued a statement
later saying it rejects the U.S.brokered
deal for the strife-torn province.
The KLA has been fighting for independence
for Kosovo, where the vast
majority of the population is ethnic Albanian.
Serbia and the much-smaller
Montenegro make up Yugoslavia.
Meanwhile, at the United Nations,
Security Council members held preliminary
talks on a resolution to endorse
this week's accord and lend U.N.
backing for organizations that will verify
its compliance, diplomats in New
York said.

With education, a lottery, and video gambling c

And the more visible the candidate,

Duhe said.
The political parties' ads fall in
an odd political loophole. As long as
the ads don't ask voters to support
a specific candidate on election day,
then a party can buy as much TV
time as it wants. And candidates
have no say-so over the ads their
party is buying for them.
Berube said voters should be
skeptical about any ad that goes
heavy on negative tones.
"I just get convinced that every __
