8The Daily Tar HeelThursday, November 2, 1989 World aed Nation A End to truce draws U.S. ccrntScisinro From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON The White House on Wednesday denounced Nica raguan President Daniel Ortega's deci sion to end a truce with the U.S. -backed Contras but brushed off talk about renewing military aid for the rebels, saying "we don't want to give him any excuse" to cancel next year's elec tions. The administration said President Bush was consulting with leaders in Central America to bring diplomatic pressure on Ortega to reverse course. "It is obvious that he's afraid of the ballot box," White House press secre tary Marl in Fitzwater said, referring to presidential elections set for Feb. 25 in Nicaragua. Congressional leaders also reacted angrily to Ortega's move, but House Speaker Thomas Foley, D-Wash., said, "I can't conceive of the House moving now toward providing military assis tance. That's not in the direction of the peace process." Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for spearheading regional peace efforts, said in an interview on the Cable News Network, "It's, indeed, very sad to go back to the military fight." Ortega, at a news conference in Managua, suspended the 19-month-old cease-fire with the Contras, citing continued rebels attacks, and hinted he might cancel the elections. He accused Bush of "supporting terrorism in Nica ragua.'' He added, "Now it will depend on the Yankee Congress and the Yankee president that these elections take place on Feb. 25." Later, Alejandro Bendana, secretary general of the Foreign Ministry, said Nicaragua has no plans to cancel the elections. Responding quickly to Ortega, Fitzwater said his announcement "underscores the Sandinista regime's lack of commitment to the peace proc ess and democratization in Nicaragua. His deplorable action ... is an affront to the hemisphere and the democratic traditions we hold so important." Asked about prospects for renewing military aid for the rebels, which would require approval by Congress, Fitzwa ter said, "We don't want to go that route. We want to get free elections." Iran passes law to arrest any U.S. citizen From Associated Press reports NICOSIA, Cyprus Iran on Wednesday approved a law giving it the power to arrest Americans any where and put them on trial, and one newspaper suggested that the first tar get be the former commander of the USS Vincennes. The action came amid growing anti U.S. passion being whipped up to mark the 10th anniversary of the storming of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. Protesters plan to burn 160 American flags out side the compound - now a school on Saturday. The official Islamic Republic News Agency said the Majlis, or parliament, unanimously approved a final version of the bill that earlier had been passed by the 12-member Council of Guardi ans, a constitutional watchdog body. The council acted after the 270-seat Majlis approved a first draft of the measure on Tuesday. J JUttltnns if!?

That departments consider requir ing students to take one Capstone course within the major field. That the advising system be re evaluated. Because UNC's curriculum is com plex, students need clear information about it in order to make informed decisions, the report says. 'The college should therefore consider hiring pro fessional staff advisers." While faculty members are valuable in the advising system, professional advisers could enhance it, Gless said. "Faculty tend to be extremely good in giving advice about education. But it's important to have people who can think about the graduation regulations; we need professionals for that kind of work." And finally, that the possibility be considered of offering Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music and Bache lor of Fine Arts students the option of meeting their general-education per spective requirements by way of a minor in a field remote from their majors. Student Body President Brien Le wis, who advocates establishing an academic minor, said he was encour-. aged that the committee included the minor in its recommendations. "I was very pleased to see them concur with the opinion I have seen in the student body. I hope it will add a log and keep the fire hot." The interest students have shown in an academic minor was a factor in the recommendation, Gless said. "Students' interest in the minor made it possible and timely for us to raise the issue." Gless said he would be interested to hear responses to the recommendations. "We had a lot of information; we've made inferences from it. I'm very eager to get some response." r "TWO THUMBS UP!"-siskel&ebert " tVtVtVtV GREAT FILMMAKING.

The man was a former shop assis tant in a Beijing food store who had long been sexually promiscuous and had homosexual relations with for eigners, said Cao Qing, vice director of the Department of Epidemic Pre vention in the Public Health Minis try. The man was detained for com mitting homosexual acts, a crime in China, but left the country before it was confirmed he had the AIDS vi rus, Cao said in an interview, declin ing to give the man's name or where abouts. 'This, in regard to our country of 1.1 billion people, is a very danger ous signal," the Science and Tech nology Daily quoted Cao as saying about the victim. Is Navy record tarnishing? WASHINGTON It's been a bad week for the Navy. Starting with the Sunday jet crash that claimed four lives on the USS Lexington and continuing through Wednesday's fire aboard the oiler USS Monongahela, each day has brought another mishap at sea that has Navy brass shaking their heads and hoping it's just a streak of bad luck. One civilian specialist on indus trial hazards warns that cutbacks in training could lead to more accidents. "Congress is always trying to cut training budgets. But if a pilot can't practice flying, those on the deck News in Brief don't get trained either," said Kar lene Roberts, an industrial psycholo- gist. She said, however, that overall the ! Navy's safety record is excellent. 1 Research banned on fetal tissue ' WASHINGTON A top federal health official said Wednesday he ' intends to extend indefinitely the current ban on federal money for' fetal tissue research because if such ' tests were successful, "we'd have' more abortions." James Mason, assistant secretary ' for health at the Department of Health " and Human Services (HHS), told reporters he has the authority to continue the ban, imposed a year ago by his predecessor, but that he will consult first with HHS Secretary ' Louis Sullivan. Sullivan was expected to concur ' with Mason's decision, according to ; HHS sources, who spoke on the ' condition of anonymity. Soviet miners strike for reform MOSCOW Thousands of coal . miners walked off their jobs briefly " in the eastern Ukraine on Wednesday to press demands for higher coal ' prices, an end to corruption and po- . litical reform, a strike leader said. Yuri Bolderev, a member of the ; Donetsk strike committee, said min ers from that city stayed off their jobs for two hours despite a regional strike committee's decision Tuesday not to ' strike. Greek from page 1 Sterling Gilreath, IFC president, agreed. "Our traditions are so different that we would both lose a lot." Gaussen Hamner, a sophomore who attended the forum, said a lack of communication and a hesitancy by both sides to get involved was a main source of conflict. "I am very offended by a lot of the attitudes taken by students about the Hearing racial conflict. There's a lot of room for improvement, and the Greek system can aid in ameliorating the conflict." Lee Marks, former adviser to the Panhellenic Council and IFC, said the racial problems that emerge in the Greek system stem from conflicts in society. "If we could start working within the Greek system to resolve these prob lems, then perhaps that would transfer back into society." . ', Dordek called the forum a success! because it made people more aware of! the conflicts. ' ! "I think a lot of people were sur-l prised by what they heard. Whether! they were angered or happy about it, I ! think we've stirred some people. That's ! going to get us moving. That's what We ! need to do." " ; from page 1 : last year. "The University has problems trying to deal with the truth when it comes to discrimination, even if the facts are put forth before them," Edwards said. "Even though they had black and white offi cers who testified that discrimination did exist in the reorganization in 1987, it was ignored." N.C. Assistant Attorney General Lars Nance, who will represent the Univer sity in the hearing, refused to comment on the hearing. Another focus of McSurely's argu ments will be allegations of retaliatory measures taken against Edwards be cause of her complaint. "My superiors have retaliated against me every which way but loose, to wear me down to where I would quit or to become violent," Edwards said. "But I've hung tough." University police Chief Charles Mauer refused to comment. Efforts to reach Charles Antle, associate vice chancellor of business and finance, were unsuccessful. Antle oversees Univer-; sity police. Edwards has also charged that only; two of 15 black females who have; applied for a job with the department; since the reorganization have been inter-; viewed, and neither were hired. More; inexperienced whites were hired for; the same positions, she said. ; Her demands include: stopping ra-; cism against blacks and females; iri)-; proving the department's leadership;; and reforming the grievance process.' ; Alex.
