Students to
in U.S.-Sovi
swap cultures, ideas
et exchange program
By JAMES BENTON
Staff Writer
A group of Soviet college students
will trade universities with a group
of UNC students later this semester
as part of a U.S.-Soviet student
exchange program.
The program is co-sponsored by
the Citizen Exchange Committee of
New York and the Soviet Committee
of Youth Organizations. UNC and
nine other American universities will
exchange students with 10 Soviet
universities as part of the program.
Other American universities partic
ipating in the program include
Harvard, Stanford, the Universities
of Maine and Texas at Austin and
Williams College.
Thirteen Soviet students and two
faculty members from Rostov State
University in Rostov-on-Don will
visit the United States from Feb. 26
to March 7. While in Chapel Hill,
the Soviets will stay with UNC
students and faculty members. The
Soviet delegation will also visit
Washington, D.C., and New York
City.
While at UNC, the Soviets will
participate in a public conference
focusing on issues such as peres
troika, disarmament, the treatment of
minorities, women's rights and envir
onmental concerns. The conference
is scheduled as part of the exchange.

Officials to probe Libya, company link
From Associated Press reports
FRANKFURT, West Germany
Prosecutors on Wednesday
announced criminal probes of a key
company in the Libyan chemical
weapons plant dispute and a Bavarian
company that reportedly delivered
sophisticated equipment to Libya's
air force.
The new probes constitute the third
criminal investigation in the widening
scandal, and in each case authorities
acknowledged they were checking
allegations made by West German
news reports.
Since the first allegations of West
German involvement were published
earlier this month, the nation's news
media have been particularly aggres
sive about pursuing the story.
Politicians, meanwhile, have had to
retract their earlier denials of West
German involvement with the plant
in Rabta, 60 miles south of the Libyan
capital of Tripoli. Washington offi
cials say it was built to make chemical
armsT while the Libyan government
of Col. Moammar Gadhafi says it will
make pharmaceuticals.
In Bonn on Wednesday, Chancel
lor Helmut Kohl sat with other
lawmakers as his chief aide, Wolfgang
Schaeuble, addressed an acrimonious
session of Parliament about when the
government in Bonn first learned of
the charges.
Schaeuble said the U.S. govern
ment in May passed on tips about
West German involvement in the
suspected Libyan chemical weapons
plant. He said the tips also involved
the alleged German help in providing
Gadhafi's air force with midair
refueling capability.
The Frankfurt prosecutor's office
said Wednesday it has opened a
criminal investigation of the now
defunct I.B.I. Engineering company,
which U.S. officials have accused of
providing equipment for the plant.
"Our authorities opened the probe
against I.B.I, on Friday because of
suspicion of reported violations of
export laws," Frankfurt prosecutor
Jochen Schroers told The Associated
Press in a telephone interview.
He declined to provide further
information about I.B.I., which
allegedly provided the contracts to
the West German companies to build
the plant.
West Germany's ARD television
network reported that about 50
companies just in the greater Frank
furt area are suspected of having
taken part. Federal customs officials
are also investigating.
In Munich, chief prosecutor Heinz
Stocker said he was looking into a
report in this week's Der Spiegel
magazine that says the Intec Tech
nical Trade and Logistik company
has been helping Libya develop the
ability to refuel its warplanes while
in flight.
The prosecutor said he had already
planned to investigate Intec, but
added authorities want to know
whether the report in Spiegel is
correct.
"That is a point of the investiga
tion," Stocker told the AP in a
telephone interview late Wednesday
afternoon.
associate professor, said plans for the
conference have not yet been final
ized, but the conference will take
place. "There will be events open to
the public and there will be discus
sions on topics of interest concerning
American and Soviet students," he
said.
About $30,000 in cash contribu
tions and in-kind gifts has been raised
for the exchange. Another $7,000
needs to be raised for the exchange,
Ulin said. Contributions have come
from organizations including UNC's
College of Arts and Sciences, the
UNC Educational Foundation, the
Citizen Exchange Council and the
Triangle University Security Seminar
in Research Triangle Park.
UNC students said Wednesday
that they were looking forward to
traveling to the Soviet Union.
Sophomore Steven Haase said he
first became involved in the program
by helping raise funds for the
exchange, but did not intend to apply
for a place on the delegation because
he had never taken a course in
Russian language or history.
But because the exchange is open
to students in all disciplines and does
not require students to speak Rus
sian, he did apply after being encour
aged to do so and obtained a position
on the delegation. "Iwas on cloud
nine for about two weeks," Haase
said. "I (still) try to picture myself
in Moscow and can't do it."
Haase said the program would
probably not be in existence today
if someone like the late Soviet leader
Leonid Brezhnev were still in power.
While reading information about the
Soviet Union, Haase found that the
country was stagnant under
Brezhnev.
But relations between the United
States and the Soviets have improved
greatly in recent years, he said. "Five
or six years ago, President Reagan
was calling the Soviet Union 'The Evil
Empire,' " Haase said. Now, relations
have improved to the point that
Soviet newspapers are less hostile
toward the United States, he said.
Graduate student Sylvia Rogers
said the exchange will be interesting
because the delegation will visit an
area different from Moscow. "It's
going to be a completely different
area geographically," she said. Rogers
said she was also curious about how
cold the weather would be in the
Soviet Union.
The exchange was originally sche
duled for last October, but a Soyiet
government shake-up prevented the
exchange from taking place, Rogers
said.
Ulin said changes have taken place
in the Soviet Union in the past year
and a half under the leadership! of
President Mikhail Gorbachev.
"Everyone (who studies the Soviet
Union) reports changes under Gor
bachev," he said.
The press has become more critical
of national issues like government,
education, minority policies and the
Soviets' involvement in Afghanistan,
Ulin said. The Soviet press has also
denounced former Soviet leaders
such as Josef Stalin and Brezhnev,
he said.
And in some parts of the Soviet
Union, candidates are competing in
elections for political offices. This
does not resemble the American
political system at all, but "that's a
very striking difference," Ulin said.
But Ulin said he did not jsee
evidence of Soviet economic reform.
Soviet store shelves are still empty
and an active economic system has
not yet developed, he said. I
The UNC delegation, which
includes faculty members Ulin and
history professor Samuel Baron, will
visit Rostov State University March
9-23. The delegation will also spend
time in Moscow and Leningrad while
in the Soviet Union. :
King's
daughter to speak at celebratioi
By SARAH CAGLE
Staff Writer
Bernice King, the youngest child
of Martin Luther King Jr., will deliver
the keynote lecture of the Eighth
Annual Martin Luther King Jr.
Birthday Celebration tonight at 7:30
p.m. in Memorial Hall.
Ms. King, 25, is a theology and
law student at Emory University in
Atlanta. Her oratorical style has been
compared to that of her father.
"She is a symbolic, representation
of the legacy of Martin Luther King,"
said Tracy Taft, president of the
Carolina Union and a member of the
speaker selection committee.
Her lecture, entitled "The Dream
Still Lives," will address the legacy
of Rev. King from her perspective and
the relevance of his dream to the
present, said Archie Ervin, chairman
of the speaker selection committee.
"That the dream is not over . . .
is the message I would like her to
convey," Taft said.
The committee invited Ms. King
to speak not only because of her
family relationship to Rev. King, but
also because of her own work with
civil rights, Ervin said.
"She is veryci3mmitted to her
father's work," said Margo Crawford,
director of the Black Cultural Center.
Ms. King' plans to contribute to
society in her own way as well, Ervin
said.
"She would like to make her
contribution from the vantage points
of law and theology," Ervin said. "She
has publicly pronounced a desire to
make an impact on society.
"The keynote speaker causes peo
ple to stop and reflect on themselves
as individuals and on their social
surroundings," he said.
The committee chose Ms. King
over several other candidates because
they felt she would be most able to
do this as well as to inform people
about Martin Luther King Jr., Taft
said.
."Most of our young people don't .
know a lot about Martin Luther
King," Ervin said.
The committee expects Ms. King's
lecture to draw the most participation
of all the week's events, Taft said. I
"Having her as the keynote speaker
is a great way to make this week
successful," Taft said. "Hopefully she
will inspire whites and blacks to ido
more for civil rights."
The Martin Luther King Jr. Scho
larship will also be presented at the
lecture. This scholarship is awarded
annuallyjLQa UKC .students who
exemplifies a commitment to the
quality of Jife: at UNC and to the
legacy of Rev. King, said Ervin.

August 1987 to July 1988 the pro
gram brought in $289,000, Hathaway
said.
Wayne Christiansen, chairman of
the chancellor's committee on scho
larships, awards and student aid, said
the committee will meet in February
with the Student Aid Office and other
scholarship distributors to determine
the ratio between need-based and
non-need-based scholarships to be
funded with the licensing money.
The growth of trademark income
may displace money originally ear
marked for athletic scholarships from
the Educational Foundation and the
athletic department. Student govern
ment and the athletic department
recently agreed to use the displaced
funds "in the spirit of the program
for athletic scholarships," Hathaway
said.

The committee will also coordinate
scholarship offers from different
university offices to make sure the
same student doesn't get two inde
pendent offers from two offices,
Christiansen said. ,
But the committee will not handle
the details of scholarship distribution,
Christiansen said. "It's not our charge
to be directly involved in choosjng
the students to receive the scholar
ships," he said. j
