BERLIN - The web of secret money
transfers trapping Germany’s conserv
atives in a financing scandal widened
Sunday with allegations that the French
government of Francois Mitterrand fun
neled millions of dollars to support for

The scandal - which has involved
money trading hands in suitcases, arms
deals stretching from Canada to Saudi

Smita Varia and Scott Windham, stu

they hoped the workshops provided a
catalyst for further discussion.
“We have this conference so that we
can create a dialogue in a safe environ

continue the dialogue outside of the
workshop series,” Varia said.
The series kicked off with a discus

Sunday after a fake statement was faxed
to news media saying Kohl was ready to
name anonymous donors to the
Christian Democratic party.
Kohl told the Frankfurter Allgemeine
Zeitung newspaper that the fax was a
forgery and reiterated that he would not
identify the donors from whom he has
admitted soliciting $ 1 million that was
kept off party books. “I don’t have the
intention to make such a statement,”
Kohl was quoted as saying.
Flight 990 Victims’ Kin
Land Insurance Payouts
CAIRO, Egypt - The families of
those killed on Egypt Air Might 990 will
get a total of about $ 115 million in insur
ance payouts, the airline’s chairman said
in remarks published Saturday.
The figure conflicted with Egypt Air
Chairman Mohammed Fahim Rayan’s
statements in November, when he said
the payment would be SIOO,OOO for
every one of the 217 people on board
the plane that plunged into the Atlantic
Ocean on Oct. 31. Such payments
would total about $22 million.

similar to that of UNC-C. But he said
he did not know what action would be
taken. “We don’t think the burden
should be placed on the students, but
when you’re in a desperate situation,
what do you do?” Morrison said.
Lynne Snowden, president of UNC-
W's faculty senate, said she was not in

forum’s topics.
Participants outlined the importance
of approaching discussions with open
minds, active-listening and empathy in
order to give strength to the program.
“Given the fact that religion is such a
vital part of the milieu in the South, we
need to be talking about religion and all
of its manifestations,” said Father Phillip
Leach of the Campus Ministers
Association.
“We need to learn from each other
and be tolerant of each other.”
.Organizers encouraged participants
to question their involvement in the
forum in order to gain better under
standing of the topic, themselves and
each other.

Ex-President Reagan
Losing Fight with Illness
WASHINGTON - Former President
Reagan’s daughter Maureen says her
father cannot speak coherently and,
because his motor skills are failing, no
longer can join her in working simple
jigsaw puzzles.
Maureen Reagan said friends some
times ask the condition of her father,
who has Alzheimer’s disease.
“My response is, Not so good.’ But it
is hard to say that, because he makes it
so easy for us,” she wrote in an essay in
Newsweek magazine. “In other words,
it’s still him. But his motor skills are
going.”
Reagan she and her father began
doing the puzzles - First 300-piece pro
jects, then 100 pieces shortly after the
diagnosis more than Five years ago that
he had incurable brain disease.
The puzzles mainly were of animal
scenes.
“Unfortunately, he can’t do that any
more,” Reagan wrote. “It was great fun,
and he had a tremendous sense of
accomplishment” in completing them."

Joyce Brown said residents from the
Northside neighborhood brought for
ward the resolution asking for a lower
occupancy limit.
She said the Northside neighborhood
had seen its character change as older
residents moved out, and their proper
ties were converted into rental units by
realtors.
“It’s changing the nature of the neigh
borhood, and it’s also taking the prop
erty out of the hands of the traditional
owners,” Brown said.

“We at student government recognize
that the phrase ‘unrelated persons’ in
Chapel Hill effectively means students,”
he said.
“Using this euphemism of‘unrelated
persons’ is not fooling anybody.
“The residents (of Northside) are tak
ing a position that’s not optimal for stu
dents, landlords or Chapel Hill,”
Conner said. “Quite frankly, they’re tak
ing the position that they want more
parking, and they want students out of
their neighborhoods.”
Brown said the council would have to
decide whether to confine the occupan

but Town Manager Cal Horton said it
would be difficult to restrict the ordi
nance to just one neighborhood.
“You could probably Figure out a
way to do it by zoning, but I think it
would be challenging,” Horton said.
Conner said student government
would oppose the resolution regardless.
“I don’t think the measure should be
applied to any neighborhood, whether
it’s Northside or the Governor’s Chib,"
Conner said.
“Saying that you want to do it in one
neighborhood is really just a way ci get
ting your foot in the door so you can do
it in other neighborhoods later.”
