"We are convinced that the summit will open a new chapter in the history of two neighboring countries," said Shevardnadze's statement. He arrived on a special plane of the Soviet airline Aeroflot at Beijing's old airport, now used only by top Chinese and foreign leaders. He was met by his Chinese counterpart, Qian Qichen. The two men shook hands warmly as they stood bareheaded in a biting wind. Shevardnadze did not read his statement, but he told reporters he was carrying a letter from Gorbachev to Chinese leaders. He did not reveal the contents. "I reached an agreement in prin ciple with my comrade Qian Qichen in Moscow" on holding a summit, he said.

Seats behind the basket help keep students involved in the game, he said. Virginia students have 3,300 seats on the floor, second and upper levels of 8,800-seat University Hall, Ticket Manager Dick Mathias said Mon day. The students are seated on one side of the hall, going from one baseline to around the basket at the other end, Mathias said. Clemson students are also happy with their seats, Clemson Student Body President Jamey Roots said. He acknowledged the demand for bas ketball tickets may not be as great at Clemson as at UNC. Students are seated on a first-come, first-served basis, Roots said. "There's not a seat that's really a bad seat in Littlejohn Stadium," he said.

He will meet Qian on Thursday, then fly to Shanghai on Friday for a meeting the following day with Deng. The Chinese leader is in the east coast city to celebrate the upcoming Lunar New Year. "We are starting our negotiations fully aware of the scale of the forthcoming event," said the Soviet minister. "The title theme of the Soviet-Chinese dialogue is peace and development." The Soviets have been courting China for several years to heal their longstanding ideological and political quarrel, but only in the past year has China shown equal eagerness. personnel office. On Sept. 12, Michael Lewis, a UNC employee relations officer, sent the request to the Office of State Personnel.

The University of Maryland also has a smaller ticket demand than UNC, UM Student Government President King James said Tuesday. "We have trouble filling the arena (Cole Field House)," he said. "We get more complaints about the team than the arena." Student seating at Georgia Tech's Alexander Memorial Coliseum is not supposed to be general admission, but seating order isn't enforced, Under graduate Student Body President Sharon Just said Wednesday.

Cambodia's 10-year occupation by Vietnam still is the chief regional conflict at issue. But Vietnam, under apparent pressure from the Soviet Union, its main ally, said last month it is willing to pull out by September. China agreed in principle to end its aid to Cambodian rebels by then. Two other issues that blocked Chinese-Soviet reconciliation also appear nearing resolution. The Soviet Union is scheduled to complete its troop pullout from Afghanistan in two weeks and has announced plans to withdraw some troops from Mon golia, its ally on the Chinese border. from page 1 office sent a letter to Edwards Sept. 20 requesting that she fill out and sign a form including several questions about her appeal. Edwards returned the form in October, and King informed her Nov. 1 that the information had been received and that her grievance would be processed. On Jan. 11, Kaye Webb, an assis tant N.C. attorney general, told Edward's lawyer, McSurely, that the attorney general's office was filing a motion to dismiss the case because it had been filed Oct. 31. University rules state that charges of racial or sexual discrimination should be given immediate concern, McSurely said. "Everybody sat on it here (at UNC) for weeks," he said. Efforts to reach Webb for com ment were unsuccessful. Lewis said the motion to dismiss was probably the result of a bureau cratic mix-up. "They have literally thousands of these filed every day," he said- "I think this is a non-problem that will be cleared up." Edwards said she is upset that her case is being delayed. "I want to have this grievance heard as soon as possible," she said. "My life has been on hold. This should be a top priority." Would You Like To Spend The Summer 4 :i w Working in Wyoming?

"I'm a man of some discipline," Tower told the Senate Armed Services Committee near the close of four days of testimony. The committee chairman, Sen. Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) said he expected the panel to vote Thursday to recom mend that the Senate confirm Tower's nomination. The committee began Wednes day with a closed session to discuss possible conflicts of interest involving Tower and to allow him to answer allegations made Tues day by conservative activist Paul Weyrich that he had "on a number of occasions" seen Tower publicly inebriated and in the company of women other than his wife. Jury selection getting tougher WASHINGTON Eight more potential jurors were picked Wed nesday for Oliver North's Iran Contra trial in a laborious effort interrupted by the judge's threat to hold a TV reporter in contempt for making jury selection even tougher. So far, there are 15 people in the pool of prospects from which 12 jurors and six alternates even tually will be chosen. U.S. District Judge Gerhard Gesell angrily said he was consid ering holding ABC News corres pondent Tim O'Brien in contempt of court. He said an ABC account Tuesday night "appears to be a deliberate effort to obstruct" jury selection by airing congressional testimony North had given cover ing the same subjects on which he now faces charges.

Official pushes for SBI funds RALEIGH State Attorney General Lacy Thornburg staked a claim to the leadership of North Carolina's war on drugs Wednes day and called on other officials to "put up or shut up" by taking a stand on his budget proposals. Thornburg said, the State Bureau of Investigation, which is under his jurisdiction, is the front line agency in state government's war on drugs. He spoke at a news conference two days before the Drug Cabinet established by Gov. Jim Martin and led by Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner is scheduled to hold its first substantive meeting. Thornburg also warned that dividing what money is available for anti-drug programs among several law enforcement agencies, instead of giving the SBI top priority,, would hamper the strug gle to stem the flow of drugs in North Carolina. . "I don't know of any politician in the state of North Carolina who - didn't at one time or another raise the specter of drugs," Thornburg said. . . . . - .-,-,. ....
