Baker, Mandela discuss
South African economy
' WINDHOEK, Namibia Secre
tary of State James Baker met black
nationalist leader Nelson Mandela on
Wednesday amid growing superpower
diplomacy for more reform in white
minority-led South Africa.
A senior U.S. official, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, said Baker
urged Mandela to reconsider his sup
port for nationalization of financial
institutions and the mining industry in
South Africa. The source said Baker
"was pleased with the way Mandela
received that." Baker, in turn, assured
Mandela that sanctions imposed by the
U.S. Congress to protest apartheid
would be observed by the Bush admini
stration, the source said.
"One of the things we deeply appre
ciate is the effort made by the world
powers to relax world tensions ... I
think that we are turning a new chap
ter," Mandela said.
Judge reverses decision
to demand Reagan diaries
WASHINGTON The judge in
John Poindexter's Iran-Contra trial
reversed himself Wednesday, saying
that former President Reagan does not
have to produce diary entries sought by
his one-time national security adviser.
U.S. District Court Judge Harold
Greene issued the ruling as the jury
began watching eight hours of vide
otaped testimony by Reagan.
Greene had ordered Reagan to turn
over the diary, but said after reading the
three dozen entries sought by Poindex-
ter that the material was not "essential
to the achievement of justice in this
case." Poindexter said he needed the
excerpts because Reagan, in his taped
testimony, "professed a total inability
to recall" the diversion of Iran arms sale
proceeds to the Nicaraguan Contras
and a 1985 Hawk missile shipment.

torn northern Ethiopia.
The 1 1 trucks arrived Tuesday night
in Kobo in the Wollo province after
leaving the provincial capital of Dessie

mountainous roads through contested
territory.

Nobel laureate Saul Bellow
to read from works tonight
By MELANIE BLACK
Staff Writer
Saul Bellow, Nobel Prize- and Pulit
zer Prize-winning author, will read
selections from his fiction at 8 p.m.
today in Memorial Hall.
His presentation is sponsored by the
Creative Writing Program in the De
partment of English.
James Seay, director of the Creative
Writing Program, said Bellow's pres
entation was quite an opportunity for
the students and faculty of the Univer
sity and members of the community
outside the University. "We feel hon
ored that he would accept our invita
tion." Seay added that Bdlow made
few presentations such as this one.
Frances Coombs, clerk of the Eng
lish department, said, "There seems to
be a lot of enthusiasm about going to
see him read."
Seay was uncertain whether Bellow's
presentation would consist of readings
from his works in progress, past works,
or a combination of the two.
Panel targets Native
American education
By TERESA JEFFERSON
Staff Writer
A Native American panel discussed
the low number of American Indian
role models and the growing problems
faced by Indian students in the state
educational system Wednesday night
during a symposium sponsored by the
Carolina Indian Circle as part of Native
American Cultural Week.
Rosa Winfree, coordinator for In
dian Education in Charlotte's Meck
lenburg County, said the majority of
students would be minorities by the
1990s. Their individual problems must
be addressed and their cultures must be
recognized, she said.
Winfree said that Indian students
were being left by the wayside and that
the entire school system must be re
structured to reverse the trend. The
dropout rate for Native Americans has
increased to 39 percent while the rest of
the school population has a 23 percent
rate, she said.
"Indian children in urban areas don't
have positive Indian role models. We
can't give a block vote to politicians.
each aspect of all three schools. It kept
coming up Carolina."
He said he talked to North Carolina
coach Dean Smith later Tuesday night
and said Smith "was really excited. No
one's more excited than I am, though."
Montross said he visited North Caro
lina most recently last month and felt
very comfortable and at home with the
program. He said he hoped Indiana
fans would not be disappointed by the
choice.
"I hope they react positively. I'm
excited by the decision. It's selfish on
my part, but if they don't like it, I'm
sorry. That's where I'm going to be for
the next four years."
He also said his decision was not
influenced by the possibility of becom
ing Indiana Mr. Basketball.
"Whatever happens is fine with me.
I came along at the same time as a

Seay said he was concerned about
the timing of the presentation. "We
realize we are competing with the Tar
Heels and the Razorbacks." After trying
for two years to schedule the author,
tonight was the only date that Bellow
was available. Seay urged students to
"assume that Carolina will go on to the
Final Four" and attend the presenta
tion. Bellow received the Nobel Prize for
Literature in 1976 after receiving the
Pulitzer Prize in 1975 for his novel
"Humboldt's Gift." He is the only per
son ever to hold three National Book
Awards for fiction for his novels "The
Adventures of Augie March," "Her
zog" and "Mr. Sammler's Planet." In
1965, Bellow became the first North
American to receive the International
Literary Prize, for "Herzog." Last year
he won the PENMalamud Award for
Short Fiction.
Bellow's recent works include his
10th novel, "More Die of Heartbreak,"
(1987) and his novellas "A Theft,"
We as a people can't make a big impact
politically, economically or socially to
use as leverage to see that things are
done for our people."
During her 15 years of teaching,
Winfree said she had met children who
had never seen Indian doctors, busi
nessmen or teachers.
Winfree said Indians were the most
poorly educated group in America. They
are ranked the lowest economically,
politically and socially, and the increas
ing Indian dropout rate is due more to
social obstacles than academic ones.
"If you're white, everything taught
in school just reinforces what you are
already taught by society and the me
dia," Winfree said.
Most Indians come out of a socially
isolated culture and have never social
ized with blacks or whites, she said.
They experience a culture shock when
they leave their sheltered hometowns
where they are usually in the majority.

UNC School of Education, said she

Bailey, and this has nothing to do with
my decision."
A year ago, Montross was named
most valuable player of the Indiana
high school tournament by The Associ
ated Press after leading Lawrence North
to its first state title. The Wildcats were
ranked 11th this season and finished
22-6 with a regional tourney loss to
Southport, which is in the state tourney
semifinals against Bedford North
Lawrence on Saturday.
Last summer, Montross played on
the same national champion AAU team
as Bedford's Bailey, who already has
signed with Indiana, and all the current
IU freshmen, including his former
Lawrence North teammate Todd Leary .
Montross said he talked to Leary
Wednesday afternoon, before he made
the announcement.
"It was tough," he said. "I haven't

Lost pwcliaismg
onuses Hbraury resources
By SUSIE KATZ
StaH Writer
Students and faculty may begin to
notice huge gaps in the resources of
UNC libraries because of insufficient
funding to cover subscriptions to seri
als and purchases of books and other
non-serial resources.
Larry Alford, assistant University
librarian, said the problem with the
library book budget was not the result
of the recent freeze on state spending. It
was caused by a decrease in purchasing
power in recent years, rapid inflation in
publications costs and a drop in the
value of the dollar where foreign pub
lications are concerned, Alford said.
"We are buying the materials we
need to support undergraduate and
graduate curriculums, but not those to
support faculty and graduate research,

playing with both of them, but all the
circumstances led to North Carolina."
Last month, Bailey and Montross
were the only Indiana players named to
the annual McDonald's All American
game that will be played in Indianapo
lis on April 15.
Montross said at that time his col
lege decision would be influenced by
"a mixture of things. All three schools
have very reputable academic and ath
letic programs. They have good coach
ing staffs, beyond the head coach."
Montross averaged 21.4 points and
15 rebounds a game as a junior, and
Lawrence North raced through the
tournament by a winning margin of
almost 1 6 points a game. In the cham
pionship game, Montross did not miss
a shot from the field, scored 19 points
and grabbed 18 rebounds as the Wild

at least not in the monographic area."
Between 1988 and 1990, subscrip
tions to 1,000 serial titles have been
canceled in areas supporting research.
The decrease in resources available
in UNC libraries will affect the reputa
tion of the University as a research
institution, Alford said. "The reputa
tion of the University is in part resting
on the reputation of the library system.
A decline in the quality of the library
collection has to have an effect in the
long run. Materials we are unable to
buy now we will be unable to buy later
they will go out of print."
It does not look as though the library
system will receive enough funding to
make up for its lost purchasing power,
especially in the face of the state budget
freeze, Alford said. "It would take about
a $1.8 million increase to get back to
CGIA battles costly
thefts of newsletters
By KENNY M0NTEITH
Staff Writer
A longstanding problem with the
theft of the Carolina Gay and Lesbian
Association's (CGLA) newsletter,
Lambda, has flared up again in recent
months.
Daniel Mattern, Lambda editor,
said the CGLA had been fighting the
problem of stolen newsletters for
years. "People have a right to pick up
a Lambda on campus," Mattern said.
"(This) harassment has got to stop.
'This year has been better (than
the past). It's just the last few months
that we've had trouble," he said.
"Someone thinks they are doing
their job. They have to realize they
are interfering with our organization."
The CGLA realized there was a
problem when numerous copies of
Lambda began disappearing from the
foyer of Davis Library, said Mark
Burniston, CGLA co-chairman.
"I figure they think it's a way to get
back at gays on campus," Burniston

power
the 1984-85 level of purchasing power,
and it's not realistic to think that can be
raised through endowment."
In 1985-86, the UNC library system
ranked 10th in expenditures for mono
graphic materials among the Associa
tion of Research Libraries, which in
cludes the 107 largest university re
search libraries in the nation, Alford
said. By 1988-89, that ranking had
slipped to 27th, he said.
John Shipman, University bibliog
rapher, said the problem could affect
the quality of new faculty members
who come to UNC in the future. "Fac
ulty have a desire to come to institu
tions that have a wealth of materials in
their subject of interest and research,"
he said, although he added that the
See LIBRARY, page 9
said. "We're very angry about this."
Mattern said most of the people
who read Lambda usually get it within
two weeks. The thefts usually hap
pened toward the end of the month,
he said.
"People who want to read Lambda
have already read it by then (the end
of the month). That's how we real
ized what was happening."
Burniston said the printing of
Lambda was an expensive venture.
"It costs about $400 for the printing,
mailing and everything else. We do
get some money from ads, but it's
stilt very expensive."
The CGLA has battled the prob
lem by placing Lambdas in places
that are harder to reach, Burniston
said. "In Davis (Library), we moved
them inside," he said. "They're more
in the public eye now, so it's harder
for someone to take them." .
Mattern said Lambda should be
