Jesse Helms, R-N.C., seated behind him on the stage at Wingate University. “Privately, Chinese leaders say they want to solve this problem, that they want to negotiate,” said the exiled spiritual leader of 11 million Tibetan Buddhists. “But offi cially, they continue to have no response.” The Dalai Lama, who is 60, was forced to flee his homeland when China occupied Tibet in 1959. Since that time, he has lived in India. In a nearly hour-long speech, the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner urged Ameri cans to support his nonviolent mission. He said a free Tibet could become a “zone ofpeace” nestled between the densely populated nations of India and China. “Peace between those nations is crucial to the world,” he said. His visit to the small liberal arts college 30 miles east of Charlotte was the first stop on a 10-day U.S. tour, which also includes appearances in Atlanta, Boston and Wash ington, D.C. The Dalai Lama’s appearance in tiny Wingate was arranged by Helms, who told the audience that he became close friends with the Dalai Lama when they met nearly 20 years ago. Helms also promised to remain a de vout supporter of the Dalai Lama’s cause PARKING FROM PAGE 3 await the committee’s final decision. The majority of the hardships this year are work- and family related. “I’m a mother. I’m extremely sensitive to this issue,” Kraft said. “I also know a lot of students have to work to stay in school.” Despite the new criteria there are still students with creative hardships that do not meet the committee’s standards. “We still get the occasional ‘I can’t imagine riding a bus’ and ‘Daddy gave me a car, and I don’t have anywhere to put it’ applicant,” Kraft said. The committee makes every attempt to help students with real hardships, she said.'Tf there is something legitimately we can do to help that person, we do it,” Kraft said. A listing of students who will receive permits will be posted by 5 p.m. Friday in Suite C of the Student Union, at the Security Services Building, Bynum Hall, the Registrar’s Office in Hanes Hall and at Student Health Services. 3BMSKTS Hie Place To Be This Fall!

While some of the Dalai Lama’s re marks were purely political, he devoted most of his remarks to mote spiritual is sues. He noted that humans are very gentle in appearance, lacking the big teeth of tigers and other wild animals. “But in reality we are much more de structive than the tiger," he said. Committee to Hear Reports That Miller Made Advances RALEIGH —Even the chairman of the ethics committee that will consider reports that Rep. Ken Miller made sexual advances toward a 16-year-old page says the panel’s powers are limited. That’s especially true since the page, who told House leaders that Miller asked for her phone number and tried to kiss her hand, has not filed a formal complaint. “TTiere’s nothing the committee can do, really, unless somebody comes forward and points the finger,” said Don Follmer, a spokesman for House Speaker Harold Brubaker. The committee’s chairman, Rep. Julia Howard, R-Davie, said members will need sound evidence to recommend any penal ties against Miller. “The committee has to have something to work from,” she told the Winston-Sa lem Journal. Howard said that the members, who begin the hearing today, will hear first from Rep. Billy Creech, who sponsored the page from his Johnston County district and asked the committee to investigate the matter. Then it will hear from Miller or his attor ney. Then it will decide whether to conduct further inquiry and how to do it. If the committee decides that Miller should be penalized, it can send him a letter of censure—but only if he agrees to accept it. Otherwise, the committee can only make a recommendation to be taken up by the full House when it meets next, either for a special session to deal with federal budget cuts or in its short session next May. SPACE FROM PAGE 3 groups, according to Cunningham. “We tried to bring together groups of a similar focus and ask that they share the limited space,” he said. Cunningham said he hoped to have the recommendations approved and posted by Monday afternoon. After the assignments are posted, student groups will have 10 days to appeal to Carolina Union Activities Board President Tommy Koonce and the Union Board of Directors. A group may appeal if it feels the recommendation reflects discrimination on the part of the office of the student body president. Cunningham said that while he knew the process would be viewed with some skepticism, he felt he had done the best job possible in making the space allocations. “We can rest assured that we notified every student group, that we followed union procedure, and that we maximized die space we had.” SPANKY’S BAR SPECIALS $1.50 Dom.

Her pointed emphasis on human rights, delivered in crisp, unadorned language from the heart of the last Communist su perpower, electrified her audience at the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women. Tuesday’s speech denounced the crime, prevalent in India, of dousing wives in gasoline and setting them on fire because they don’t contribute enough wealth to die family. Clinton also attacked the practice of mutilating young girls’ genitals, which is prevalent in some African and Islamic so cieties. The Bosnia conflict hung unspoken in the air as she lamented “thousands of women (who) are subjected to rape as a tactic or prize of war.” Clinton did not mention China as a prime offender when she criticized steril ization and forced abortion. This is a custom that experts say has led to a population deficit of 100 million fe males in Asia. But her words cut like an ax, especially when she prefaced no fewer than seven successive sentences with the words, “It is a violation of HUMAN rights....” Freedom, she reminded the delegates, “means the right of people to assemble, organize and debate openly.” Clinton said it is not “taking citizens away from their loved ones and jailing them.” The loudest of several bursts ofapplause from the delegates came when she criti cized China again, without naming it — for the “indefensible” act of preventing many women from attending or participat ing My in the conference. She was referring to the harassment of delegates with agendas China doesn’t like, and the outright refusal of visas to some of them. FROM WIRE REPORTS WEDNESDAY
