IN THE NEWS Top stories from the state, nation and world U.S. justifies firing fighter jets on Iraqi radar sites WASHINGTON—The pilots of two U.S. fighter jets were justified in firing high-speed missiles at Iraqi radar sites because they had reason to believe they were being targeted by Iraqi missiles, Defense Secretary William Perry said Monday. Perry said, however, that he did not know whether faulty cockpit equipment might be involved or whether die Iraqis were playing cat and mouse with their radar systems. An investigation was un der way, he said. In the meantime, allied flights over Iraq’s southern no-fly zone will continue, even though Saddam Hussein’s forces have been “quite quiet” in the past week, Perry said. In separate incidents, the pilots ofU.S. Air Force F-16s fired high-speed missiles when they got warning signals in their cockpits that they had been “locked on” by Iraqi surface-to-air missile sites, Pen tagon officials said. The first such firing occurred early Saturday and the second on Monday. Perry said he had no reports on pos sible damage caused by the missiles. Iraq denied the missile firings occurred, characterizing the reports as a campaign ploy by the Clinton administration.

Fighting between Tutsi-led rebels and Zairian troops has forced hundreds of thousands of refugees to flee their U.N. camps, venturing deeper into Zaire and farther from the reach of aid workers. Diplomats and aid groups met Monday in two African capitals to discuss what to do next. The recent cross-border warfare be gan three weeks ago, choking off road and air routes for emergency food into the region and pushing aid workers last week to evacuate. In a statement read on British Broad casting Corp. radio, Tutsi spokesman Laurent Kabila said the cease-fire took effect Monday morning. “We declare a unilateral cease-fire starting immediately for three weeks,” Kabila said. In Rwanda, news came that the capi tal of eastern Zaire, Goma, was quiet after four days of gun and mortar fire. The 1.2 million refugees have destabi lized the lakes region along Zaire’s bor der with Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda, spreading political and ethnic fighting. Whether the refugees will voluntarily return home or if safe passage is guar anteed is unknown.

Yeltsin, 65, has a history of health problems, including three serious bouts of heart trouble in the past two years. He will require triple or quadruple bypass surgery in an operation likely to last six hours to eight hours. A statement signed by the president’s chief doctor, Sergei Mironov, said today that Yeltsin’s organs and systems were functioning well, “which allows (us) to perform the operation with a significant extent of certainty and confidence.” “The operation itself can be performed within days, ” said the statement, released by Yeltsin’s press service.

The Carolina Poll had a random sample of 834 North Carolinians and a margin of error of plus or minus 4 per centage points. The DTH poll was an unscientific intercept poll of 395 respon dents at UNC.

BY JULIA WOOD STAFF WRITER Lightning Brown and Katrina Mattison have been named the recipients of the 1996 Pauli Murray Human Rela tions Award. Mariah McPherson, chairwoman of the awards committee, said Lightning Brown, a lawyer who is being given the award posthumously, is being recognized for his lifetime commitment to civil rights. “He worked his entire life for civil rights for all races," she said. Joe Herzenberg, a friend of Brown’s, said Brown’s basic commitment to hu man rights qualified him for the award. “He was active in pushing for basic rights for gay people,” he said. Herzenberg said three important is sues to Brown were civil rights for black, no advance word on the surgery. Mississippi drops court fight to restrict abortion JACKSON, Miss. Mississippi is dropping its court fight to toughen its abortion regulations, already considered among the nation’s most restrictive. Attorney General Mike Moore said Monday that the state stands little chance ofreversinga federal judge’s ruling against the restrictions, which include a ban on abortion clinics within 1,500 feet of a church or school. U.S. District Judge William H. Barbour Jr. ruled Sept. 27 on the regulations. FROM WIRE REPORTS cult to establish in polls of this nature, but the demographics roughly matched UNC’s student population. Two categories stand out in the com parison. More than 21 percent of UNC students said they were pure moderates, as opposed to only 6 percent of N.C. voters. Conversely, almost 19 percent of N.C. voters saw themselves as strong conservatives, compared to less than 2 percent of UNC students. Beyle said the campus atmosphere was more conducive to moderates. “Students are surrounded by people who come from differentculturesandbackgrounds. They see much more diversity than most aver age citizens do on a daily basis, and this makes them much more accepting of other ideas and attitudes. By Jesse’s defi nition, any institution of higher educa tion which has students and faculty as diverse as we do would qualify as a zoo. ” w- Career services* 211 Hanes Han UCS@UNC.EDU Career Corner Upcoming Events • Week of Nov. 5-Nov. 12 PLEASE REMEMBERII There are many exciting opportunities available through UCS.
