World and Nation
U
So
marchers mark abortion ruleim
From Associated Press reports
Demonstrators marched with re
newed fervor at state capitals and cities
arcjund the nation Monday to com
memorate the 17th anniversary of the
Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade ruling,
which legalized abortion.
At least 9,000 people marched
against abortion at the Georgia capitol
in Atlanta, while Washington's annual
March for Life carried a similar mes
sage to the White House, the nation's
Capitol and the U.S. Supreme Court.
''It may be a long fight," the Rev. Pat
Robertson told demonstrators in At
lanta, "(but) we will come back this
ear, we will come back, next year, we
will come back the year after ... until
sooner or later we have v ictory."
Norma McCorvey, the woman who
was the "Jane Roe" in Roe vs. Wade,
was scheduled to appear at a rally on
California's capitol steps in Sacra
mento.
The Roe vs. Wade anniversary has
become an increasingly important day
to those debating the future of abortion
in the United States.
This year's commemoration carried
special weight because of last summer's
Supreme Court ruling in Missouri's
Webster case.
That ruling, which opened the door
for states to impose some restrictions
on abortion, was the biggest legal v ic
tory in decades for anti-abortion forces
and led to speculation that the high
court would overturn Roe vs. Wade.
It also pumped new life into organi
zations on both sides of the aboition
debate and led to a flurry of legislative
proposals to both rest! ict and guarantee
access to abortions.
Those bills helped give added sig
nificance to this year s demonstrations.
Tens of thousands of people marched at
rallies around the nation on Sunday.
The Webster case also provided a
backdrop for one of the stranger inci
dents in the abortion observances. On
Sunday night, police in San Francisco
cited McCorvey, on whose behalf the
original Roe vs. Wade case was filed,
for illegally posting stickers bearing
the name "Roe" on city street signs.
The signs were on Webster Street.
In another unusual twist, about 12
pro-choice demonstrators wrapped 200
feet of purple ribbon around the Louisi
ana statehouse in Baton Rouge on
Monday to draw attention to their new
Coalition for Reproductive Freedom.
The ribbon, they said, symbolized the
purple sashes worn by suffragettes who
marched for women's rights earlier in
the century.
In Trenton, N.J., about 150 protest
ers marched in front of the New Jersey
statehouse in support of anti-abortion
bills, including one that would require
minors seeking abortions to notify their
parents.
The demonstrators included a group
of schoolgirls from Incarnation School
in nearby Ewing, N.J., one of whom
carried a sign that read: "Real Women
Don't Kill Babies."
"All of our parents gave us a chance,
so why don't we give them a chance,"
said another student, eighth-grader
Theresa Thoma.
A parental notification bill is also
pending in Nebraska, where the Legis
lature chose Monday's anniversary to
begin its debate on the issue.
In Maine, about three-dozen anti
abortion demonstrators marched on the
federal courthouse in Portland, while
their opposites lobbied legislators in
Augusta "to keep Maine a pro-choice
state,' ' in the words of pro-choice leader
Betsy Sweet.
Azerbaijani nmoum deaths, give warnin
From Associated Press reports
MOSCOW Hundreds of thou
sands of wailing, black-clad Azer
baijanis marched through Baku on
Monday to mourn people killed w hen
Soviet troops put down a nationalist
revolt, and the republic's legislature
threatened secession if Moscow did not
pull out its soldiers.
In another move in defiance of Presi
dent Mikhail Gorbachev, local legisla
tors declared Moscow's state of emer
gency void, and militants vowed to
keep up crippling strikes until troops
leave.
Also Monday, Communist leaders
from Soviet Armenia and Azerbaijan
took a tentative step toward ending 10
days of ethnic warfare, agreeing to
withdraw armed groups from areas
along their border, Tass said. But activ
ists in Armenia and Azerbaijan said
they were skeptical the truce would be
kept.
. The official Soviet news agency
reported 12 more people were killed in
ethnic clashes Monday on the border of
the two republics, raising the toll since
Jan. 13 to 167. Soviet officials said 83
of those were from the Soviet assault on
the Azerbaijan capital on Saturday or
skirmishes the previous day.
More than 500 have been wounded
in the conflicts.
An emergency overnight session of
the Azerbaijani Supreme Soviet legis
lature demanded the full withdrawal of
Soviet troops from the republic, with
the exception of border districts with
Armenia, said Baku lawyer Viliyad
Mamedov, who attended the 1 1-hour
overnight session.
Lawmakers also demanded the lift
ing of the curfew and state of emer
gency in Baku and other areas of Azer
baijan, which Moscow imposed with
out the approval of Azerbaijani au
thorities, Mamedov said in a telephone
interview.
If those demands are not met,
Mamedov said, the legislature will
consider voting to secede from the
Soviet Union.

At Monday's mass rally in Baku,
demonstrators carried posters reading,
"Gorbachev is the butcher of the Azer
baijani people," and "Azerbaijanis will
not succumb to tanks," said Shain
Gajiyev, a Baku journalist.
Witnesses said throngs of mourners
numbering as many as 2 million bore
coffins of Azerbaijanis killed in the
weekend assault down the narrow
streets and major thoroughfares to Lenin
Square, now renamed Freedom Square
in honor of the Azerbaijani nationalist
cause.
The mourners, wearing black and
carrying black-bordered portraits of
some of the victims, then buried the
victims at Kirov Park, overlooking the
Referendums
Caspian Sea.
"All the people of Azerbaijan and
Baku are in tears and mourning," offi
cial Baku Radio said in a broadcast
monitored by the BBC in London.
Soviet troops and police did not in
terfere in the funeral, said Leila Yunu
sov, a spokeswoman for the Social
Democratic Group, an informal Azer
baijani political organization.
Foreign reporters were barred from
the region, so it was difficult to deter
mine the exact death toll or reconcile
conflicting information.
Military officials said no one had
been killed in Baku for the last two
days, and residents said the Soviet troops
seemed to have the city under control.

turn into big problems."
Student Congress Speaker Gene
Davis said he would not take a stand on
the proposed system. "The idea of
student's voting is very sound and very
empowering, but there are many ques
tions that need to be asked."
Passage of the referendum would
return emphasis to issue-oriented re
sponsibilities of congress members,
Davis said. "If you take away the finan-

don't think that's bad."
The congress will also vote whether
to include three other referendums on
February's ballot:
B a referendum, co-sponsored by
Reps. JUrgen Buchenau (Dist. 4) and
Todd Wyatt (Dist. 3), that would in
crease constitutional funding for the
Graduate and Professional Student
Federation (GPSF) from 5 to 15 per
cent of graduate student activities fees.
B a referendum, sponsored by Davis,
that would phase out funding The Daily
Tar Heel (DTH) with student fees over
the next three years. The DTH now
receives 16 percent of student fees.
Beginning with the 1993-94 aca
demic year, the DTH would not receive
fees. According to the legislation, the
DTH has become a financially self
sufficient organization and wants to
return its portion of the student fees to
the student body. The DTH was incor
porated in November.
Davis said he believed more referen
dums would be introduced before the
election.

Palestinian peace activist
released after questioning
From Associated Press reports
JERUSALEM Faisal Husseini,
a leading Palestinian activist and
potential peace negotiator with Is
rael, was freed from jail Monday.
The United States had called his
detention an obstacle to Middle East
diplomacy.
In a related matter. Prime Minister
Yitzhak Shamir threatened to resign
if he loses a vote of confidence in his
right-wing Likud bloc. Likud lead
ers will meet next month on motions
by hard-liners that Shamir's peace
plan be dropped.
Attorney General Yosef Harish
ordered an investigation of allega
tions that Science Minister Ezer
Weizman met illegally with high
officials of the Palestine Liberation
Organization.
Shamir made similar accusations
three weeks ago and forced Weizman
out of the powerful Inner Cabinet.
Weizman represents the center
left Labor Party and cannot be tried
unless Parliament lifts his legislative
immunity.
Husseini was freed after three days
of questioning about suspicions that
he belonged to a "hostile organiza
tion" and gave other Palestinians
$450 to buy military uniforms.
Jury finds hacker's guilty
SYRACUSE, N.Y. A jury
Monday night found a suspended
graduate student guilty of federal
computer tampering charges for
unleashing a rogue program that
crippled a nationwide network of
News in Brief
thousands of computers.
Robert T. Morris, 24, faces up to
five years in prison and a $250,000
fine. He is the first person brought to
trial under a 1986 federal computer
fraud and abuse law that makes it a
felony to break into a federal com
puter network and prevent author
ized use of the system.
The jury returned its verdict at
about 9:25 p.m. after nearly six hours '
of deliberations. It began consider
ing Morris' fate at about 2 p.m.,
broke for dinner later and resumed
deliberations at 7:30 p.m.
Morris, of Arnold, Md., testified
during his trial that he had made a
programming error that caused a
computer worm to go berserk and
cripple the Internet system on Nov.
2, 1988.
The worm he designed immobi
lized an estimated 6,000 computers
linked to Internet, including ones at
NASA, military facilities and major
universities.
Mofford won't seek another term
PHOENIX Democratic Gov.
Rose Mofford's decision not to run
for office this fall, announced after
weeks of conflicting signals, has
thrown Arizona politics and govern
ment for a loop.
Mofford said she had "no idea"
who might run in her place and would
not say whom she favored.
Faculty

cials.
"In that case, you're robbing Peter
to pay Paul," said John Turner, dean of
the school of social work. "If we're
successful in recruiting faculty, that
leaves the other university in a bad
situation."
Lee Greene, an associate professor
in the English department, said the
problem wasn't a shortage of black
faculty.
'There is one simple solution: the
University should hire them (black
faculty). The University doesn't want
them; they hire who they want to. They
always use the excuse that they're not
out there. But they're there hire
them."
The University is guilty of racist
hiring practices, Greene said. The only
way to make black faculty more attrac
tive to the University is to "turn them
white," Greene said.
Greene said he endured what he
considers to be unfair hiring practices
at UNC. "It's a given. Would you rather
not have a job, or would you rather
teach at a university you feel has racist
hiring practices? You do it, but you
don't condone it."
Gooder said he didn 't agree that UNC
discriminates in its hiring practices.
"There is no way I could support that."
There are no instant solutions to the
dilemma of finding black faculty,
Budget
Cannon said. "There are no instant fixes
for the problem. But that doesn't mean
the problem can't be resolved."
The best solution would be to en
courage black undergraduate students
to attend graduate school and consider
a career in teaching. Cannon said.
"But that will take time. That is a
factor. The student won't become a
college professor one year after gradu
ating from Chapel Hill."
Black faculty at UNC would be ef
fective in encouraging students to con
sider a teaching career. Cannon said.
"You want them to talk to successful
peopie. i ney are in a position 10 en
courage students to consider these ca
reers. Maybe people like me need to get
off our duffs and do more in this area."
While this is a valid solution, stu
dents may be more likely to consider a
more financially rewarding career than
teaching, Gooder said. 'The economic
benefits of pursuing another career far

lessor.
Turner said he agreed that students
may choose professions more lucrative
than teaching. "Encouraging people to
go into a career in teaching needs more
than being wishful."
Another consideration is the cost of
graduate school, he said. Students may
be unable to afford it without financial
aid.
