World and Nation
yh delivers underground pep talk
From Associated Press reports
OMAHA, Neb. President Bush,
broadcasting from an underground
command bunker, told the nation's
nuclear-bearing forces Thursday to take
some credit for "the historical changes
we are seeing in the Soviet Union."
Bush's talk to men and women of the
Strategic Air Command came as he
wrapped up a three-day trip that fo
cused on U.S. military vigilance against
what he depicted as an ongoing Soviet
threat a message played out in con
trast to Soviet developments widely
seen as encouraging in the West.
As Bush was watching war games
andgiv ing military speeches, Moscow's
Central Committee, the Soviet Com
munist Party's policy-making body,
was' concluding a historic meeting at
which it endorsed President Mikhail
Gorbachev's call for an end to the
party's monopoly on power.
Bush made little reference to the
Soviet developments during his trip,
praising Gorbachev's initiatives but
saying he didn't want to "pick winners
or losers" from afar.
Administration officials privately
conceded that the timing of Bush's
saber-rattling tour of military installa
tions could have been better.
Even so. Bush showed no reluctance
in fulfilling his role as commander-in-chief.
The former World War II bomber
pilot put on a leather flight jacket and
bounded up a ladder into a sleek B-l
bomber to try out the controls. Then, in
his dark business suit. Bush joined two
dozen high-ranking military officers in
the newly refurbished SAC command
post 40 feet beneath the surface of
Offutt Air Force Base.
As red lights flashed over names of
SAC installations on a large screen at
the front of the theater-style room, Bush
leaned toward the microphone that
would carry his voice over SAC's
"primary alerting system."
"Good morning. This is the presi
dent speaking to you," he began. Citing
"a critical need to continue our strate
gic modernization program," Bush
hailed the service people who maintain
the nation's primary line of nuclear
defense.
"I also want to salute your role in
shaping history, for the historical
changes we are seeing in the Soviet
Union are in no small part due to the
vigilance and sheer hard work of the
men and women of the Strategic Air
Command," Bush said.
"Your practice of deterrence has kept
the peace, and defined the basis for
positive change in the Soviet Union."
But, Bush continued, "We still live in a
time of uncertainty. So as we push for
a major new amis agreement with the
Soviets, to increase stability we will
continue to modernize strategic forces."

Congress ready to trim national budget
From Associated Press reports
: WASHINGTON Congressional
Democrats seem near a consensus that
they can slice $4 billion to $7 billion or
more out of President Bush's 1991
defense budget. Fight off Bush-recommended
cuts in some domestic pro
grams and limit next year's deficit to
$64 billion.
- They also believe they might be able
to. find a bit of start-up money for
domestic initiatives in such areas as
education, child care and nutrition.
But even as they solidify their plans
for reworking the $1.23 trillion spend
ing plan Bush unveiled last week,
Democrats are still groping for an
approach to one of this year's hottest
issues: whether to cut the Social Secu
rity payroll tax.
An offbeat but still striking illustra
tion of the Democrats' desire to alter
Bush's budget came Thursday when

Judge affirms jurisdiction
to try Noriega in court
From Associated Press reports
MIAMI Deposed Panamanian
dictator Manuel Noriega can be tried
in a U.S. criminal court on drug
charges despite his prisoner of war
status, a federal judge ruled Thurs
day. U.S. District Judge William Ho
eveler brushed aside defense argu
ments that Noriega must be trans
ferred to his homeland or a third
country until an international tribu
nal determines his status under the
Geneva Convention. "I don't find
that under the Geneva Convention I
must divest myself of jurisdiction."
Gene found to suppress tumor
WASHINGTON A gene that
blocks a rare eye cancer can also
suppress prostate tumors, one of the
most common cancers among men, a
group of researchers report in a study
to be published Friday.
In experiments on laboratory mice,
scientists at the University of California-San
Diego say they have
shown that a normally functioning
retinoblastoma gene, or RB, inserted
into human prostate cancer cells is
News in Brief
able to suppress formation of tu
mors. The RB gene is usually missing,
mutated or not functioning in such
tumors.
Robert Bookstein, one of the re
searchers, said the study may help
advance progress toward learning
how to control cancer through use of
tumor suppressor genes.
AIDS case percentage decreases
ATLANTA The number of new
AIDS cases in the United States rose
only 9 percent in 1 989 the slowest
increase ever but the disease is
spreading faster among heterosexu
als, newborns, women and South
erners, federal AIDS specialists re
ported Thursday.
A total of 35,238 AIDS cases were
reported in 1989 by the national
Centers for Disease Control (CDC),
compared with 32,196 reported dur
ing 1988.

incident. Smith said.
Diffendal said she had met with
Martin and discussed the incident, but
she hadn't received any mandate from
him. "I don't know for a fact that Hcrcd
saw the poster being taken down, and I
don't know that the Jonathan Martin
campaign had anything to do with it."
The Elections Board also issued a
warning Wednesday to the Martin
campaign for attempting to hinder the
investigation of the incident. Smith said
the campaign's testimony to the board
was geared against the investigation to
protect its interests.
"The testimony blatantly attempted
to hinder the investigation to the point
that Kyle (I lerod) and the witness' story
were a lot closer than that of Jonathan
Martin and his campaign manager."
Cable
Smith said. "Martin and his campaign
manager tried to place the blame on
someone besides Kyle."
Martin said the incident was not
Herod's fault. "A guy he (Herod) had
been playing basketball with took down
the poster. My ex-staff member was
down the hall and had no knowledge of
what had happened. When he came
back down the hall the poster was down.
My staffer was only guilty by associa
tion." Martin said Herod was in an impos
sible position because the Honor Code
was so strict about a campaign staff
member touching the posters of an
other campaign. "He was between a
rock and a hard place.
"The Election Board took action
because he didn't say anything at the
from page 1
time. But if he did, or had put the poster
back up, he would have put himself in
a more compromising position. If he
had been seen with the poster in his
hand, he would have been accused of
tearing it down."
Smith said the Elections Board de
cided that Herod had not been afraid to
handle the poster and aided the viola
tion in not stopping his friend from
taking down the poster.
Bibbs said he had not talked to Martin
since the incident.
"I'm disappointed that something of
this nature had to happen. I'm a little
surprised because everyone had agreed
BOT
to run a clean campaign. But in cam
paigns, sometimes things like this
happen."
Bibbs reported to the Elections Board
last week that at least 200 of his posters
around campus were missing.
Martin said he wanted to see the
issue examined because many students
don't realize the significance of the
violation. "I doubt if most students know
how serious an Honor Code violation it
is to remove a campaign poster. Even
rearranging posters if you have trouble
finding a spot (for your campaign
poster) can be called 'removing a
poster.'" ;

Bishop also cited a 1988 Board of
Visitors recommendation that sug
gested several changes in admissions
policies including a University plan
to increase the number of out-of-state
students gradually.
Some trustees expressed reservations
about increasing the number of out-of-state
admissions.
Trustee Richard Jenrette suggested
that the University explore an increase
in both in-state and out-of-state fresh
man enrollment rather than change the
percentage.
Trustee John Pope pointed out that
many private colleges are increasing
total freshman admissions and could
SRC
take away qualified applicants from the
University.
Hardin said the University could not
serve a larger number of students under i
the state's financial restrictions. '
Several University administrators
said they agreed with Hardin. Donald '.

of the existing elevator in Fetzer be
cause, in order to go up one floor,
handicapped people would have to go
out of the center, around a long corri
dor, and then ride the elevator.
The cost of installing an elevator
would range from $50,000 to $70,000,
Burns said. More input would be nec
essary to make the decision, she said.
Plans also now call for a front -door
monitoring station operated by paid
st udents or volunteers. B ums said prob
lems may arise in monitoring the back
doors connected to Fetzer. Because the
SRC will stay open longer than Fetzer,
unauthorized people might enter the
center from Fetzer after Fetzer closed,
she said.
Suggestions from those at the meet
ing included having a second station
controlled either by students or by a
magnetic card reader.
Susan Chappell, coordinator of the
Wellness Resource Center, said the
Wellness Center would be more effi
cient as a one-story facility, instead of
as a two-story area as now planned.
Chappell said the Wellness Center
also needed to be on the first floor to be
visible.
Burns said that the front entrance
lobby would make it difficult to create
enough space for the center on the first
floor, but that it would be possible to
put it on the second floor.
Burns said the SRC would adopt
much of the style of Fetzer. The exte
rior will be brick and the roof will be
made of the same materials as the Fet
zer roof, she said.
"The major difference is that we
desire the SRC to look more open.
There will be a lot more glass."
Burns said that in previous discus
sion sessions she had learned what many
people were expecting from the SRC.
Possibilities discussed in those sessions
included the number of main doors for
the facility and a possible open area and
handicap facilities, she said.
"Input is very helpful, because each
incremental step is in a sense pre-approved."
Lisa Frye, Carolina Athletic Asso
ciation president, agreed. "We can't
help to be pleased that so much time is
being spent on this project. The SRC
board is here to hear what the people
are saying."
An open intermediate presentation
will be given Feb. 27. This will begin
the preliminary final planning and will
be the last meeting before the sche
matic designs are presented for state
government approval on March 20.
"That will be the critical meeting,"
Burns said. "Afterwards, we'll have
our basic plan to present to the students."
