Driving their sputtering Trabants and SWS BfUDthillBi November University Student Great Hall 10am -4pm (Stop by anytime) causes Wartburgs filled with stereos, luggage and children, the refugees needed to travel only 15 miles from the East German border to reach West Germany. At least 15,000 East Germans had arrived in West Germany via Czecho slovakia by Sunday, West German border officials said. They came by special trains from Prague or drove their own cars to the border after learn ing of the new escape route. Schirnding was the closest border crossing for those using the new route. The refugees ignored pleas by new Communist Party leader Egon Krenz to remain in East Germany and scoffed at his promises of reforms. So far this year, about 170,000 people have left seeking freedom in the West. "People just don't trust the govern ment," said Schreiber, a dental techni cian from Staaken outside East Berlin. He and his wife and son had been waiting seven hours in the cold and had a long wait still to go. "How long will they keep coming? That you have to ask Mr. Krenz!" said U we Luethje, the federal border police duty chief Sunday afternoon. "You can see how patient these people have been," Luethje added. 'They learn that from waiting in lines for so long outside shops." On Friday, Communist officials in East Berlin agreed to allow neighbor ing Czechoslovakia to open its frontier for East Germans seeking to go West. East Germany on Wednesday lifted its month-old ban on travel to Czechoslo vakia, the only country East Germans can visit freely. ftiutfctyii 53 Union Conservative Greek party may lose needed majority From Associated Press reports ATHENS, Greece The conser vative New Democracy Party seized the lead in national elections Sunday but tight parliamentary races indi cated it might not get the majority needed to rule after eight years of socialist government. With 66.2 percent of the votes counted, New Democracy led by Constantine Mitsotakis had 46.9 percent. It was followed by former Premier Andreas Papandreou's Panhellenic Socialist Movement with 40.5 per cent and the Coalition of the Left and Progress, led by Communist Hari laos Florakis, with 10.5 percent, according to official returns broad cast by state television. The rest went to small parties. Civil rights monument unveiled MONTGOMERY, Ala. A generation after Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King were killed, the nation's first memorial to martyrs of the civil rights movement was un veiled Sunday as relatives expressed hope that young people will carry on the spirit of that turbulent era. Several people cried as they touched the cool water that flows across a circular black granite slab engraved with important events of the era, including the names of 40 people who died in the struggle for racial equality. The memorial is of the same mate rial and by the same architect as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. "I hope this will vitalize the struggle, keep it fresh in the minds ... for the youth," said Ollie Gordon, a Chicago schoolteacher whose cousin, 14-year-old Emmett Till, was shot to death in 1955 by whites angered that he had spoken to a white woman. "I talk about Martin Luther King and ask why we celebrate his birth day, and many children don't know," Gordon said. More than 400 law enforcement officers provided security for the dedication ceremony to be held after relatives viewed the monument. 1990 Martin Luther King, Jr Celebration The Martin Luther King, Jr. Planning Committee invites interested individuals and groups who plan to sponsor activities in observance of the late Dr. King's birthday to contact the Committee chair at 962-6962 for further information. ma All interested students are cordially invited to an information session hosted by the Corporate Finance and M&A Department of Members New York Stock Exchange Largest Independent Investment Bank in the Southeast Wednesday November 8, 1 989 7-9 p.m. Carolina Inn Ballroom C News in Brief Anti-U.S. rally backfires TEHRAN, Iran Radicals' ef forts to turn the 10th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy seizure into a show of strength backfired badly, indicate ing widening support for President.
