BEIJING Soviet President
Mikhail Gorbachev will visit China
May 15-18 for the first summit
between the two countries since they
split bitterly 30 years ago, China
announced Monday.
; The official Xinhua News Agency
also issued a joint Chinese-Soviet
statement on Cambodia containing
points of agreement reached between
Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard
Shevardnadze and his Chinese coun
terpart, Qian Qichen, in meetings last
week.
; Both support a Vietnamese troop
pullout from Cambodia by Sep
tember, with "strict international
supervision," and an end to Chinese
Vaccination
aid to Cambodia's anti-Vietnamese
guerrillas.
They still differ over the compo
sition of a transitional government in
Cambodia from the current
Vietnamese-installed Hun Sen regime
to a popularly elected government.
Xinhua said the two sides will
continue to discuss their differences.
However, China apparently considers
the Cambodian problem close
enough to resolution to go ahead with
a Chinese-Soviet summit.
One of its conditions for a summit
has been a Vietnamese withdrawal
from Cambodia after a decade of
occupation.
The Soviet news agency Tass
announced Sunday the summit
would be held May 15-18. Xinhua
did not say why the Chinese Foreign
Ministry waited more than 24 hours
after Shevardnadze ended his visit to
announce the date.
Shevardnadze told a news confer
ence in Beijing on Saturday that the
two sides agreed the summit would
be held in mid-May, and the Soviet
Embassy privately said on Saturday
the date was May 15.
However, in a blunt contradiction
minutes after Shevardnadze's plane
took off, Chinese Foreign Minister
Tian Zengpei insisted no date was
fixed and his government was still
considering the matter.
Shevardnadze also was two hours
late arriving in Beijing for his news
conference from Shanghai, where he
had met with senior Chinese leader
Deng Xiaoping. In the absence of any
official explanation, speculation
arose that a hitch had developed in
setting the summit date.
The summit will officially normal
ize relations that turned hostile in
1960 over differences in ideology and
strategy.
Trade, cultural and other
exchanges have increased sharply in
the past few years, especially since
Gorbachev became Soviet party head
in 1985, but China has held back on
normalizing political ties.

they might be pregnant will not
receive the vaccine, nor will those who
are suffering from other illnesses or
who have weak immune systems, he
said.
All of this information will be given
to students as they enter Woollen at
a medical advisory table, Reimer said.
Measles is a viral disease that
affects the respiratory tract and has
an incubation period of eight to 10
days, said Dr. Al Collier, head of the
pediatric infectious disease division of
North Carolina Memorial Hospital.
Symptoms can appear between eight
to 12 days following exposure to the
virus, he said.
The first symptom of measles is

fever, followed by red eyes, a runny
nose and a cough. Between 24 and
48 hours after these symptoms a rash
develops, first behind the ears and on
the neck, but eventually spreading all
over the body, Collier said.
Measles is not affected by antibi
otics, and the only treatment for the
disease is rest and attempts to relieve
individual symptoms, Cowan said.
Measles is highly contagious and
can be caught from sneezes or casual
hand contact with a measles patient,
Collier said.
"The vaccine is not 100 percent
perfect," he said. "Even out of those
vaccinated, there's about 5 percent
who come down with the disease."

Boulton said Sunday that the
committee is still researching the
feasibility of the program.
When the Undergrad was open for
24 hours last semester, an average of
80 people were there from 1 a.m. to
8 a.m., Martin said.

diagnosed at UNC last week, SHS
requested that students who had been
immunized before the age of 15
months and who were from any of
the 15 N.C. counties where measles
cases had been diagnosed report to
SHS for revaccination. But Cowan
said the present situation has required
that SHS expand its approach.
"We are no longer able to review
individual student records and innoc
ulate students in the (Student Health
Service) building," she said. "We will
be immunizing the student body at
large."
SHS officials held an organiza
tional meeting on Friday afternoon
to plan the large-scale student
immunizations. The service has also
begun to vaccinate all medical stu
dents on clinical duty and students
who work rounds in NCMH, Cowan
said.
NCMH began immunizing hospi
tal employees last week as a precau
tion and will continue the vaccina
tions through Tuesday, said Bobbie
Cox, supervisor of employee health.
More than 350 cases of measles
have been reported across the state.
One in 2,000 measles patients
develops encephalitis, where the virus
infects the lining of the brain, and
one in 3,000 develops extreme cases
of pneumonia, Collier said. Neuro
logical complications and death can
result from the disease if not taken
seriously, he said.
South African leader Botha
may retire following stroke
From Associated Press reports
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa Newspapers Sunday said
President P.W. Botha, who
stepped down as leader of the
ruling party last week, may retire
soon.
Botha, who suffered a stroke
Jan. 18, resigned Thursday as head
of the National Party and was
replaced the same day by National
Education Minister F.W. de
Klerk, who is considered Botha's
heir apparent as president.
Botha said he will stay on as
president, but he has appointed
Constitutional Development
Minister Chris Heunis as acting
president while he recuperates.
Doctors say the 73-year-old
Botha is making a rapid recovery
but will need at least another
month before he can consider
returning to work.
Botha was not present for the
opening of Parliament in Cape
Town on Friday and has not been
participating in the government's
day-to-day operations, officials
have said.
The Sunday Times, the coun
try's largest paper, said in a front
page story that Botha's decision
to step down as party chief "is a
prelude to complete withdrawal
from public life."
Manson replies to teen's letter
GRAND ISLAND, Neb.
Mass murderer Charles Manson
responded with a postcard to a
ninth-grader's letter asking him
what his future plans are and if
he would commit murder if
released on probation.
Manson, who has a parole
hearing scheduled for Wednesday
at California's San Quentin Pri
son, didn't answer Lario Alcorta's
questions. But he did write a
postcard that Alcorta said was
hard to decipher.
On the front of the card, under
Manson's name and prison
number, was written "You want
one to fix what many have done."
"All you wrote about was the
judgment made by others and
News in Brief
pushed over on me to carry," .
Manson began. "People have
made me to be all the frills of their
own world and put me up to die
fork."

jail, in a working-class neighbor
hood of Sao Paulo.
