China will talk human rights By CHARLENE L FU Associated Press Writer BEIJING China yesterday told Commerce Secretary Ronald Brown it was ready to resume talks with the United States on the sensitive topic of human rights, discussions that the Chinese suspended a half-year ago. The surprise decision seemed intended to reward Brown for pushing President Clinton to sever the link between trade and China's human rights practices. It also was seen as China's way of thanking the United States for Brown's visit, which both sides say marks a new era in Chinese-U.S. business ties.

Clinton's policy change was an important boost to American corporations seeking to expand or establish themselves in China, the world's fastest-growing economy and biggest single consumer market. In subsequent months, businesses ranging from Boeing to Wal-Mart have announced agreements with the Chinese.

By PAMELA SAMPSON Associated Press lahlter Four back By ROBERT BURNS Associated Press Writer KINGSTON, Jamaica Four Caribbean nations have agreed to join an American-led military coali tion to remove Haiti's ruling junta if it resists pressure to quit, U.S. government officials said yesterday. Even as the Clinton administration worked at building a coalition, Lt. Gen. Raoul Cedras and his cohorts in Port-au-Prince refused to meet with U.N. envoy Rolf Rnutsson, who was in the Dominican Republic primed to negotiate the junta's departure. "We have not been successful because the mili tary people in Haiti refused to talk with my special representative," U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali said in New York after briefing the Security Council. He said he would abandon the initiative "unless in the future I receive a mandate from the Security Council or if there is a drastic change in Haiti." Foreign ministers of Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados and Belize told V.S. officials meeting in Kingston they would contribute to a Caribbean force of 266 soldiers to participate in the military operation to remove Haiti's military leadership. American troops would be in the first wave, with the Caribbean troops going in immediately afterward. A similar arrangement was used in the invasion of Grenada in 1983 to topple a leftist regime that had executed the prime minister. Guyana, the Bahamas, and Antigua did not make a final commitment to contribute to the 266-man force pending farther internal consultations, the effudala "We considf what happened here today in Kingston a " said Strube Talbott, deputy secretary of state, who attended the meeting with Deputy Defense Secretary John Deutch. "We hope larated by the results" of his trip so far. He said nearly $5 billion in business deals have been concluded in the first three days of his eight-day trip, but did not give details. "We came with high expectations about our ability to have a profoundly positive impact on the relationship between China and the United States. We have already met and surpassed those expectations," he said. Brown was informed of the decision to reopen the human rights dialogue minutes before the news conference.

"The time for action has arrived," Deutch said at a news conference after the meeting. "There can be no doubt in anybody's mind that the multinational force is going to Haiti." Argentina and Britain also will participate. Argentina has sent a staff officer to the Atlantic Command headquarters and British military per sonnel will assist in training the military force. Deutch and other U.S. officials have said Presi dent Clinton is determined to act with military forces in Haiti either to stabilize the government after a peaceful departure of its military regime, or to forcibly remove the leaders. The Caribbean countries participating in the meeting here issued a joint statement of support for the July U.N. resolution authorizing use of all nec essary means to restore democracy in Haiti. "Our governments are equally united in their determination to take all necessary means to carry out the Security Council mandate to restore the democratic process in Haiti," they said in a joint statement read by Erskine Sandiford, prime min ister of Barbados and chairman of the meeting. They also condemned the refusal by Haiti's mili tary leaders to meet with Boutros-Ghali's rep resentative. "We condemn the negative response of the Hai tian military to this latest diplomatic initiative," the statement said. They also said the killing Sunday in Haiti of the Rev. Jean-Marie Vincent, a supporter of exiled President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, was "one more unwelcome and painful reminder of the total unac ceptability of the prevailing situation in Haiti and of the need for urgent and decisive action." Ron Brown discussing human rights in China contact was actually made, police said. Police would not release the names of the two people involved in the incident. State College resident Jim Yeager and , his wife, Denise, had no comment. An investigation is continuing Course packets provide dilemma By MELANIE LUTZ Collegian Staff Writer Philip Rose had never heard of_a course packet in his native country of England. So he was shocked early in the semester when he had to go to the bookstore to buy more than just books. Rose (junior-architectural engi neering), an exchange student from England, had to buy more than three packets this semester and could not believe how much he had to spend. "In England we don't have to pay at all for our notes," he said. And the prices of course packets are continuing to rise as a result of the recent, strict enforcement of copyright laws, frustrating stu 'dents as well as professors. "It is truly a nightmare," said Phyllis Mansfield, associate pro lessor of health education and women's studies, about the high prices of some photocopied course packets. Some packets sell for as much as $6O. But although shelling out big bucks for course packets can be extremely frustrating for students, many professors still require them for their classes. "I definitely use packets in all of my classes because they allow you to bring current material that might not be in a text yet," Mans field said. But she makes sure that copies of the packet are available on campus in places such as the reading room in Pattee. Making packets available op campus for student use is one way professors try to alleviate the problem of high prices. These cutting measures are a reaction to laws requiring permission from publishers to reproduce any copy righted material. But the laws are nothing new.
