"Generally, it's a question of the

"It defies the imagination of the
common man to have two things that
you can't see running around and

Area residents were notified less
than five days before the meeting, and

Peter Rogers, a senior, said during

"The property owners felt left out,"
Messura said. "We made a mistake
we were relying on tax information
from the county. Typically that's one
year or more behind; consequently,
many properties had changed hands."
In addition to concerns about the
effect the SSC would have on their
land, area residents questioned the
safety of it and its radioactive wastes.
The government says the radioactive
material produced would be about
7,650 cubic feet per year. While critics
say this is an unrealistic figure, Paul
Frampton, a physics professor and
an early supporter of the SSC, says
this figure is probably right.
"Much of the waste is produced
by the waste of protons hitting a
target; protons hitting protons pro
duces less (waste)," Frampton said.
"I think 8,000 (cubic feet) is the upper
thought bus service to the area
around the apartment complex was
adequate when they planned the
budget for this fiscal year, Dunlop
said.
"Around August we were informed
that there would be some 700 under
graduates in that particular area,"
Dunlop said. "But there was no room
in the budget, and there wasn't much
we could do."
Dunlop said the main problem
with the service is that buses do not
travel to Highland Hills during large
gaps of times. The approximate time
gaps are 10:30-12:30 and 1:30-3 p.m.,
which are prime class-going hours.

"Apartheid is not only in South

also, Bewig said.
"We reject 'cronyism,' racism and
sexism," he said. "When one person
is discriminated against, all of us lose
a bit of our freedom. We have a vision
of something better. We want a
tolerant, open University."

of hundred cubic feet per year."
That's about the amount of waste
created by Duke Hospital per year,
he said.
One environmental group at the
meeting noted the large amount of
tritium that has been found in some
ditch water around the Fermi Lab in
Illinois. Experts say the Fermi Lab
is of essentially the same construction
as the SSC.
According to Frampton, the levels
of tritium are very low. "It's impor
tant to realize that nobody drinks that
water. It's ditch water normally just
used for cooling purposes."
Martin estimates the SSC would
bring about $270 million into the state
annually. It would also bring 4,500
jobs, 3,000 of which will be
permanent.
"Undergraduates have quite differ

South African troops bring
ousted leader back to power
From Associated Press reports
MMABATHO, South Africa
South African forces in
armored trucks and helicopters
entered the independent Bophu
thatswana homeland Wednesday
and restored its president to power
hours after his ouster led a home
land army coup.
Bophuthatswana is one of four
nominally independent black
homelands inside South Africa.
South Africa is the only nation
that recognizes them as
independent.
Opposition leaders accused
Bophuthatswana president Lucas
Mangope of corruption, election
fraud and human rights abuses.
Bophuthatswana, with foreign
investment, platinum mining and
the Sun City gambling resort, has
been considered the show piece of
South Africa's 10 homelands,
which are home to about half of
South Africa's 26 million blacks.
Mangope, leader of the Demo
cratic Party, has been in power for
10 years, since Bophuthatswana
was declared independent. '
State to close PLO's office
WASHINGTON The Jus
tice Department will close the
Palestine Liberation Organiza
tion's office in New York despite
reservations from some State
Department officials, congres
sional and other sources said
Wednesday.
Attorney General Edwin Meese
has concluded that legislation
adopted by Congress last
December to close the mission was
binding even though its status
under international law is unclear,
the sources said.
Patrick Korten, a spokesman
for Meese, said the attorney
general left the door open for
consideration of legal challenges
to the closing. Korten said that
unless a challenge by the United
Nations was found to have validity
within U.S. laws, "we would
proceed with a shutdown."

"Because of her experience, she

Lutes' idea for a column to discuss
racial issues is a good one, Perry said.
In the race for RHA president, the

"He has a real good understanding

News in Brief
USSR, the State Department said
Wednesday.
That finding was contained in
the State Department's annual
report on human rights around the
world. The 1,358-page study
covered 169 countries.
In its section on the Soviet
Union, the report said the changes
in the Soviet Union under the
leadership of General Secretary
Mikhail Gorbachev were "more
than cosmetic and less than
fundamental."
The report said that the Soviets
also announced moves to end the
"truly barbaric practice" of send
ing dissidents to psychiatric hos
pitals. There was also an increase
in emigration levels of ethnic
Germans, Armenians and Jews.
Despite the number of improve
ments in the USSR, the report said
that conditions at prisons and
forced labor camps may have
worsened during 1987.
Drug gang invades Georgia
ATLANTA One youth out
lined the word "Miami" on his
teeth in gold and diamonds.
Others wear Miami T-shirts,
jackets and hats to fk.unt their
status as Miami Boys, a loose-knit
band of drug dealers who have
brought their cocaine and violence
north to Atlanta.
"Georgia is sitting on top of a
volcano," said Jimmy Davis,
supervisor of drug enforcement for
the Georgia Bureau of Investiga
tion. "The South Florida Vice
Presidential Task Force has put
so much pressure on drug dealers
. . . they've branched out."
The Miami Boys once was a
formal gang that moved in recent
years to Atlanta's low-income
areas to sell drugs, said Lt. John
Woodward, commander of the
narcotics and vice unit of the
Atlanta Bureau of Police Services.
In addition to large amounts of
narcotics, Miami Boys have
changed Georgia's drug business
with their violent tactics. Uzis and
Soviet assault rifles frequently are
weapons of protection and aggres
sion, Woodward said.
Blandon told the Foreign Rela
tions panel that Noriega met in
December 1985 in Panama with
North's former boss at the Natonal
Security Council, Rear Adm. John
Poindexter.
Noriega asserted last week that he
and Poindexter talked at that meeting
about plans for a U.S. invasion of
Nicaragua, but Blandon disputed
that. No such plans were discussed,
he said.
Both North and his former boss
at the National Security Council,
Rear Adm. John Poindexter, are
targets of an investigation by the
independent cousel in the Iran-contra
affair.

"She did a fine job last year and

homecoming next year in ways that
