Last Soviet soldier
From Associated Press reports
TERMEZ,U.S.S.R. The Soviet
Union ended its costly nine-year
intervention in Afghanistan on Wed
nesday when the last soldier, the
commander of-the Red Army con
tingent, walked across a border
bridge clutching flowers.
"1 wasn't looking back," said Lt.
Gen. Boris Gromov after leaving
Afghan soil where 1 5,000 Soviets died
in a civil war that still rages on.
The pullout through this border
town where many of the 115,000
Soviet troops had entered Afghanis
tan closed a painful chapter in Soviet
history that even Mikhail S. Gorba
chev once called a "bleeding wound."
But it did little to silence the critics
who said the Kremlin's December
1979 intervention to aid a -Marxist
government against U.S. -backed
Moslem guerrillas was a costly
mistake.

From Associated Press reports
Iran on Wednesday placed a $2.6
million bounty on the head of Salman
Rushdie, whose novel, "The Satanic
Verses," has enraged the world's
Moslems. Rushdie dropped from
sight and canceled a promotional tour
of the United States due to start
Friday.
Police guarded Rushdie's home
and his publishers.
"If the executioner is a foreigner
he will receive a million dollars," said
Hojatoleslam Hassan Saneie, head of
the 15th Khordad Relief Agency,
according to the Iranian news agency.
The reward for an Iranian, how
ever, will be 200 million rials, or $2.6
million, the Islamic Republic News
Agency quoted Saneie as saying.
Tehran Radio denounced the book
as "a shameless onslaught on the
sacred character of Islam's prophet,"
and protesters shattered windows at
the British Embassy in Tehran.

While about 200 were cheering,
windburned soldiers clutched auto
matic rifles as they rode mud
spattered armored personnel carriers
across the Friendship Bridge over the
Amu Darya River on Wednesday, the
U.N. -mediated deadline for all
Soviets to be out of Afghanistan.
Gromov, the 45-year-old com
mander of the Soviet contingent in
Afghanistan, rode the last armored
personnel carrier off Afghan soil.
His vehicle stopped halfway across
the bridge linking Termez with the
Afghan town of Khairaton, and his
14-year-old son, Maxim, ran out. He
gave his father a bouquet of carna
tions, and they walked arm-in-arm
the final yards to Soviet soil.
At the border, the sunburned
general appeared to be near tears

"I thought about those who were
left behind, but most importantly
about those who have come home,"
said Gromov, who took command in
Afghanistan in 1984 on his third tour
of duty there.
Lt. . Col. Igor Azarenok of the
Soviet Defense Ministry said Grom

to leave, and the official news agency
Tass said other troops crossed the
border Wednesday at Kushka.
In Afghanistan, tens of thousands

The Kremlin, in a statement carried
by Tass, thanked the Soviet soldiers
for "fulfilling your patriotic and
internationalist duty." But the Com
munist Party daily Pravda, state-run
TV and commentators questioned
whether the Kremlin was correct in
sending troops into Afghanistan in
the first place.
Some of the troops at the border
ceremony also said getting involved
was a mistake.
"It was a clear error, so many died,"
said senior Sgt. Asgat Husayinov, 22.
He said Afghanistan was "a hell after
which you fear nothing, except maybe
yourself."
The Kremlin acknowledged that
15,000 Soviet soldiers were killed and
more than 35,000 wounded in Af
ghanistan. It sent the troops in a year
after a Marxist coup touched off a
civil war.

Church officials ask fasters
in South African jail to eat
From Associated Press reports
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa Anti-apartheid church
leaders Wednesday urged some of
the 300 detainees on a hunger
strike to suspend the fast while
efforts are made to resolve the
crisis.
The detainees, some of whom
have not eaten since Jan. 23, are
demanding they be released or put
on trial. Twenty-one have been
hospitalized, and church leaders
said they were worried about the
health of the men.
The Rev. Frank Chikane,
Anglican Archbishop Desmond
Tutu and Rev. Allan Boesak
planned to discuss the hunger
strike Thursday in Cape Town
with the minister of law and order,
AdriaanVlok.
Vlok has said the government
cannot be "blackmailed" by the
estimated 1,000 people in deten
tion, but 17 men were released
Tuesday, including two who were
participating in the strike.
Chikane said in a news confer
ence in Johannesburg that the
church leaders were asking only
those detainees who were sick or
who had been fasting most of the
23 days to resume eating.
The strike began at Diepkloof
Prison outside Johannesburg on
Jan. 23 and has spread to several
cities around the country. Some
of the participants have been held
without charge since the nation
wide state of emergency was
declared in June 1986.
Germans knew of poison gas
BONN, West Germany
Chancellor Helmut Kohl's govern
ment learned in 1987 that Libya
planned to produce poison gas at
a plant West German companies
are suspected of helping to build,
Kohl's chief of staff said
Wednesday.
Wolfgang Schaeuble also said
intelligence reports to the Bonn
leadership dating back to 1980
suggested West German involve
ment with the plant in Rabta, but
that authorities then determined
there was no "conscious
participation."
Smith said: "I don't see a corre
lation between off-campus students
and RHA. We are dorm govern
ment." But he also said, "I think that
a good way to make a direct line
between RHA and off-campus stu
dents would be to emphasis apart
ment lists like the apartment lists in
Carr Building.
Jackson agreed, saying, "I don't
think there is much of a need for our
influence."
Because RHA is the Residence
Hall Association, it means only
dormitory government, she said.
"RHA should work within the
dorms."
But Jackson also said RHA can
help on-campus students moving off
campus. "I think that the main

News in Brief
Schaeuble's disclosures have
plunged the Bonn government
deeper into the scandal that has
plagued U.S. -West German rela

But Schaeuble declined to com

authorities have known about the

North trial no longer delayed
WASHINGTON Oliver
North's Iran-Contra trial
appeared to get back on track
Wednesday as prosecutors, after
meeting with Justice Department
lawyers, issued guidelines designed
to guard against disclosures of
classified material by North.
In a four-paragraph statement,
independent counsel Lawrence
Walsh said he will, if necessary,
seek an affidavit from Attorney
General Dick Thornburgh to
prevent the disclosure of classified
information that could harm
national security.
The statement was worked out
with Justice Department officials,
who feel it adequately protects
national security and are prepared
to drop their efforts to delay
North's trial, said government
sources, speaking on condition of
anonymity.
Walsh's statement was in
response to an order issued Tues
day by U.S. District Judge Ger
hard A. Gesell, who ordered
Thornburgh to stay out of the
North case, barring the attorney
general from filing affidavits in
"bits and pieces" in response to
individual documents or testim
ony North plans to present.
The Justice Department feels
that Walsh's statement is adequate
in protecting the needs of the
. national security community, and
the department is now prepared
to go to the Supreme Court
seeking to lift the stay that has
delayed the trial, said the sources.

Sharon Kebschull, the only candi

like to see the DTH move to complete
sections, like the present business
page and Sports Monday page. She
said she plans to alter the format and
content of the two-page editorial
section printed on Mondays.
"I think the paper should get a little
more political by running a few more
columnists who are more interested
in politics. The content of the page
will probably not change all that
much," she said.
Kebschull said she wants to add
more state and national influence to
the editorial page.
