And now, because she missed a Phoenix curfew by 82 minutes, she's got a record. Siriana Kristine Kvalvik, a 16-year-old junior at Horizon High School, is asking the Arizona Court of Appeals to strike down the curfew as unconstitutional.

Hacked by the Arizona Civil Liberties Union, Kvalvik's appeal of her conviction is the first challenge to the curlew laws XI 0 3 I 'iU i "i that are cropping up around the Valley. "I think that the ordinance is a violation of juvenile rights," said Kvalvik, who was chatting in a Paradise Valley park with two friends in May when she was stopped by police, fingerprinted and photographed.

Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson DEFENDING THE CITY'S CURFEW ORDINANCE By Art Pine and Norman Kempster Los Angeles Times WASHINGTON The Clinton administration, in a sharp reversal of its previous policy, said Friday it is ready to give fugitive Somalian warlord Mohammed Farrah Aidid a place at the table in a new round of peace talks and to suspend efforts to hunt him down provided he ceases his attacks on U.S. and U.N.

forces. The invitation is part of a new diplomatic push for a peaceful politi-' cal settlement that technically will be coordinated with the United Nations' own diplomatic efforts. But, like the extra U.S. troops and armaments now being sent to Somalia, this initiative will be directed entirely by Washington. President Clinton is sending 5,300 more U.S.

troops to Somalia, doubling the U.S. force, and has set a March 31 deadline for withdrawal of U.S. troops from the war-torn country. Clinton's decision to pursue an independent strategy reflects growing dissatisfaction with the approach taken by the United Nations, which hud branded Aidid a renegade and sought to arrest him, a move that in turn brought retaliatory attacks from Aidid. Now, State Department officials say, the door will be open for Aidid to join in negotiations on a long-term political settlement.

U.S. special envoy Robert Oakley, a veteran diplomat who was dispatched to Somalia at the outset of the humanitarian mission there in December, is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to recruit leaders of neighboring African countries to help bring the Somalian factions to peace talks. Negotiations among 15 Somalian factions in Addis Ababa in March produced a peace accord, but it quickly fell apart. Separately, the Pentagon confirmed that, to complement the diplomatic initiative, the expanded U.S. military force assembling in Somalia will cut back on its efforts to capture Aidid and his lieutenants and concentrate instead on restoring security throughout Mogadishu.

The disclosures came as the first See U.S. OFFERS, page All Wilfredo LeeThe Associated Press Cemetery. Army Cpl.

"An honor student can get shot as easily as a kid in a gang," Johnson said. "I'd much rather face parents in a courtroom than in a funeral parlor." He said that if the ACLU is victorious and the curfew is declared unconstitutional, "the only thing we'll win is more children dying on our streets." Kvalvik is challenging the enforcement of the Phoenix curfew, which started out as a pilot program earlier this year und went citywide in May. It requires children younger than 16 to be off the streets by 10 p.m. and those ages 16 to 18 to be in by midnight. Other Valley cities, including Mesa, Chandler and Peoria, have followed Phoenix's lead and tightened their curfew laws.

Kvalvik, who was then 15, said she was not aware there was a curfew when she was stopped at 11:22 one night in May.

"I also say when burglars realize they're likely to get a face full of buckshot or a bullet in the -brain when they, go out robbing, why, they'll find an honest way to make a living."
