Moldavia tries to end
ethnic unrest
KISHINEV,U.S.S.R. Moldavia's
president appealed Sunday for an end to
street demonstrations and urged his
Parliament to reconsider laws that have
stirred ethnic unrest and violence in the
republic.
The speech by President Mircha
Snegur marked the first time the ethnic
Moldavian leadership accepted blame
for separatist movements in the Turkish-
Christian Gagauz region ot soutnern
Moldavia and in the predominantly
Russian and Ukrainian Dniester area in
the east, lawmakers said.
It came one day after a meeting in
Moscow with President Mikhail
Gorbachev in which Snegur and repre
sentatives of the separatist groups agreed
to a moratorium on acts that led to the
ethnic crisis in the small republic.
Details of the moratorium have not
been worked out. Lawmakers said it
probably would mean the Gagauz and
Dniester regions would suspend their
recent declarations of sovereignty and
planned elections.
Pentagon may train
Soviet bloc officers
WASHINGTON The Pentagon
mav soon be training military othcers
from the very countries it once viewed
as archenemies.
The administration is considering
requests from members of the Soviet-
led Warsaw Pact Poland, Hungary,
Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Romania
to participate in a program known as
International Military Education and
Training (IMET), officials say.
While the program probably would
cost just several hundred thousand dol
lars, the symbolic value of such a project
would be much higher. "Who would
have believed we would train officers
from the very countries which we viewed
as our enemies just last year?" said one
Defense Department othcial.
The possible training project is just
one of many options underconsideration
by the Bush administration to help
countries which this year discarded rnpre
than four decades of communist rule.
Albanian government
promises reform
TIRANA, Albania By opening
the door to reform just a crack, Albania's
Communist leaders have stirred nopes
for change that ultimately may bring
them down.
For many Albanians and foreign
observers the only questions are when
and whether the fall will be slow or
sudden, peaceful or violent.
Scores of foreign reporters were in
Tirana for an international conference
last month, and Albanians of all ages
reached out to the visitors with a thirst
for freedom and friendship.
It was the latest stage of a process
that began in May, when the government
promised reform. Two months later,
thousands of Albanians clambered into
foreign embassies, demanding and re
ceiving the right to emigrate.
Just after the gathering of Balkan
foreign ministers, Albania's first inter
national conference, another blow ten:
the defection of Ismail Kadare, the
country's greatest author and the spiri
tual leader ot retorm.

UNC employees said last week they
were concerned that the proposed
grievance policy could lead to poor
advice from counselors because coun
selors would be paid by the University.
Under the proposed policy, the Uni
versity would encourage employees
filing or considering grievances to
consult with the counselors.
Employees who file grievances
would not have to consult the counsel

Human Rights Week kicks off Nov.
11. and once again, UNC will come
alive with activities, speakers and panel
discussions in recognition of the week.
According to Abbott Whitney, co
chairman of Campus Y's Human Rights
Week committee, the state-recognized
week should raise awareness among
students, faculty and area residents.
"Human rights week is a week-long
forum in which interest groups from the
University community and groups out
side the University can express their
concerns with issues of human rights
violations domestic or international,
he said.
The committee avoided choosing a
theme this year in an effort to emphasize
different types of violations. As a result,
the speakers represent abroad spectrum
of those touched by injustice.
Winnie Mandela, wite or tormer

Mandela, will speak about inequality
and injustice in South Atnca. She will

The University will begin controlling
telephone services in residence halls in
July 1 992, said Robert Peake, associate
director of utilities management of the
Physical Plant.
Under the new system, phones will
be activated for all students living in
campus residence halls when the stu
dents arrive at the beginning of the 1 992
fall semester. Students will be able to
use this initial connection to make calls
in the Chapel Hill area.
Students can then choose a long
distance company.
Donald Boulton, vice chancellor ot
student affairs, said the new system
would be more convenient and would
give students more for their money.

he said.
The University negotiated with
Southern Bell for several months before
an agreement was reached, Peake said.
Officials also worked with students to
decide what kind of services to offer.
"Under this plan, all rooms are to be
equipped with local service," Peake said.
"This was done under the recommen
dation of the RHA (Residence Hall
Association) and Dean Boulton's office.
"Just like heat and electricity, it will
be a service that will be provided."
Gretchan Diffendal, RHA president,

you still paid the bill as a room, not as an

"This system has all of the features.
Students have the advantage of just
coming the first day and having the

Mike Lewis, the employee relations

file a grievance themselves at some
time and wouldn't want to have the

"They (the counselors) would be
persons who would have the right to
raise grievances themselves," he said.
"They might sit in front of a committee

Southern Bell, such as call waiting and
call forwarding, also will be offered
when the change is made.
In addition, the Physical Plant is
considering other features, such as a
voice mailbox that records messages
for students, Peake said.
The cost of the initial services will be
added to the rent bill for residence hall
rooms.
Wayne Kuncl, director of University
Housing, said the new plan would cost
students no more than the services now
offered by Southern Bell.
"That's the intent of the University,"
Kuncl said. "I worked at another school
that had a similar system, and it worked

Student government must sell at least
2,000 copies of "The Indispensable
Guide to Classes" before investors can
be reimbursed and profits can be donated
to UNC libraries, said Student Body
President Bill Hildebolt.
The guides will be available at least
until the last day of phone-in registration,
but sales may continue past that time to
break even, Hildebolt said.
"If we need to, we may try to target
parents at some point through the mail,"
he said. "You may see this edition along
with next year's on sale next fall."
But Hildebolt said sales had been
good so far. "What we've heard from
Student Stores is that sales have been
pretty good," he said. "It's been a big
risk, but at this point it's at least been a
reasonable success, and it may be a
great success."
Tracy Lawson, editor of the guide,
said sales had been good, but not great.
"We've sold about 200 so far in the
Pit, I think, and we've given them out to
people to sell on their own," she said.
"They're supposed to report back to us
this week.
"Every time I go in (to Student Stores)
it seems like the stock is low."
Lawson admitted that reaching the
goal of selling 2,000 copies would be
difficult.
"Selling 2,000 copies of anything on
this campus is hard as heck," she said.
"This isn't a revolutionary change where
Paula Schubert, chairwoman of the
State Employees Association of North
Carolina, said SEANC members had
met with the grievance procedure review
committee and asked that employees
have the option of representation by
lawyers.
Employees do not trust the Employee
Relations Department, which now
handles grievances, and this mistrust
probably would carry over to the
Counseling Center, she said.

control of both residence hall and family
housing phones.
The change has been more con ven ient
for Indiana students, while the costs
have stayed the same, she said.
"Students in the residence halls pay
$16 a month for phone services,"
Kearney said. "This includes the line,
the phone itself, wire maintenance,
which means there are no charges for
repair and a very large free calling area."
The initial cost now for most UNC
students in residence halls averages just
under $16. While UNC students will

people are jumping on the bandwagon
(to buy them), but it's not a monumental
flop, either."
Grant Vinik, student body vice
president, said Student Stores was
originally given 1,900 copies of the
guide to sell, but no figures were
available on how many copies had ac
tually been sold.
Vinik said he worried that an edito
rial by The Daily Tar Heel Co-editor
Jessica Lanning in last Friday's DTH
might hurt sales.
"The gu ide is geared toward freshmen
and sophomores, and this is the week
(when they register)," he said. "An
opinion is an opinion, but the editorial
brought out all the bad points of the
guide. I think there are some good
points."
Vinik said he knew the guide was not
exactly what students might have ex
pected, but said it was better than nothi ng
at all.
"I know we've got a good product,
and I know students can use it," Vinik
said.
He said he used his copy when he
registered and needed to learn about
classes he was not familiar with.
"You're sitting there on the phone
(picking classes) in a minute and a half,:
and it's very simple to look into (the:
guide) and find a professor or a class,".
Vinik said.
