2The Daily Tar HeefMonday, December 5, 1988 World aedl Natioe i . .. - ' mmm. 9TM mmm. n r aFm ' I revolt emidls odd ArgeimuDinia Mo II o toy From Associated PreM reports BUENOS AIRES, Argentina A four-day revolt by hundreds of heavily armed soldiers ended Sunday after the army chief of staff agreed to resign, giving in to a key rebel demand, Argentine news agencies said. The army said in a communique that insurgents who were holed up at a military base just outside the capital agreed to give up their weapons and explosives. Rebel commander Col. Mohamed Ali Seineldin met with army chief Lt. Gen. Jose Dante Caridi and worked out an agreement by which Seineldin not his men accepted full responsibility for the insurrection, and Caridi would step down as the army's top official, news reports said. The agreement was reported by the private Noticias Argentinas and Diarios y Noticias news agencies, both of which cited political and military sources. The rebels had demanded an overhaul in the military hierarchy, a bigger military budget and an end to prosecutions for human rights abuses committed during the 1976-83 mil itary dictatorships. It was not immediately known if any of the rebels other demands were met. The uprising was the worst threat to President Raul Alfonsin since his civilian government replaced a dis graced military dictatorship in 1983. The government had . refused to negotiate with the estimated 500 Enrollment rebels, who had seized an infantry school at a military base outside the capital on Friday, then moved to another military installation oh Saturday. ' Alfonsin had wide support to quell the third rebellion in the past 18 months and pledged to "suffocate" it. But government troops repeatedly refused to attack or restrict the rebels' movements. The Interior Ministry had said the government would "in no way nego tiate the positions invoked by the fractious groups." Authorities used tear gas to dis perse protesters who threw rocks and bottles at the rebel-held arsenal in Villa Martelli, a working-class neigh borhood nine miles from downtown Buenos Aires. With some government officials calling the revolt a coup attempt, officials on Saturday called on the public to rally for democracy. Tens of thousands of people gathered in plazas nationwide to support a democracy that has suf fered six military coups since the 1930s. The insurrection began Thursday when 53 members of an elite coast guard unit robbed an arsenal and deserted their base. from page 1 .0 mm F Open 24 Hours 114 7. Frsnklin 9S7-0790 ards. Those students need to work particularly hard to stay at UNC, but many of them are not aware that they came in at a disadvantage, he said. Herbert Davis, associate director of undergraduate admissions,, also said retention is UNC's biggest problem and if black students can be encouraged to stay at UNC, then enrollment will also improve. It is especially disturbing when students leave for non-academic reasons, he said, and programs should be aimed at those people. "We would think that with the very good students we get here, we should have a good retention level," Davis said. The most successful recruitment programs are those that bring stu dents to the campuses, Davis said, such as Project Uplift, a weekend visit for minorities who are rising high school seniors. Bringing students to campus helps erase many of the misconceptions or fears they may have about being a minority student at UNC, he said. "We have some programs in place that are certainly very strong in getting students to the campus," Davis said. Harold Wallace, vice chancellor of University affairs, said one goal of new recruitment programs is to "try to intensify and increase involvement on the part of students, as well as black alumni." This is the first year for the Chancellor's Minority Scholars Pro gram, which recognizes 25 incoming freshmen as Chancellor's Minority Scholars, awarding them an annual $1,000 scholarship. The program is still being developed, Wallace said, but it has been extremely well received. Another new program is High School Honors Day, a follow-up to Project Uplift. All students who attended Project Uplift in the summer and are in the top 15 percent of their high school class are invited to attend the Honors Day in the fall. Wallace said the University needs to concentrate on areas that have not been as successful In minority enroll ment, such as the graduate and professional levels. "The University needs to do every thing it can to make it a more welcome place a more inclusive, caring community," he said. "At some levels, we're doing a reasonably good job but we need to increase commitment." Wallace said he is encouraged by the efforts of student and community groups towards increasing black enrollment. Eleanor Morris, director of the Office for Scholarships and Student Aid, said General Administration provides a fund for a Minority Presence Scholarship, which is designed to encourage black attend ance. The scholarship is for incoming freshmen and is not renewable for the following years, she said, but students who return can receive financial aid from other funds, if needed. wooden piicpure jpramniss (War Ttegl I Unrvwrsity Square Chapel Hill 967-893S o Bread TJ Butter H?
