At 5 p.m. EDT, Isaac was about 1,300 miles east of the Leeward Islands, at the eastern edge of the Caribbean, and moved to the west-northwest at near 10 mph. “It’s very far from land, and in three days it’s still going to be very far away from the islands,” said hurricane spe cialist James Franklin. “If it continues on i | its present track, it would pass well north of the islands.” Isaac became a tropical storm Thursday and quickly built into a strong hurricane with winds of 120 mph by Saturday. But other weather systems began affecting it, and its maximum sus tained winds dropped to 105 mph Monday. Satellite photographs showed that its once well-defined eye had dropped from sight then reappeared less defined, said hurricane specialist Richard Pasch. Meanwhile, forecasters were track ing a system in the far eastern Adantic, about 500 miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands off northwestern Africa. That weather system, which devel oped from a tropical wave, became bet ter organized Monday and formed into a tropical depression with 35 mph winds. Presented by THURSDAY, SEPT. 28 • 4:00-8:00 P.M.

Bv Emory Davis Staff Writer Activists are meeting today in Raleigh to rally for protection of human rights and against government policies that harm Latin America’s poorest nations. The rally is part of the International Day of Action for Global Justice and coincides with the joint meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary and Financial Committee in Prague, Czech Republic. Activists are holding the rally to call for the suspension of policies that they claim intensify hardship on people liv ing in Third World countries. “We are protesting policies that hurt the poor,” said Gail Phares, a represen tative of Witness for Peace, one of sev eral groups sponsoring the Raleigh rally. The protesters hope to encourage the federal government to support complete debt relief for the 40 poorest nations in the world, said Eric Stanford, a volun teer with Witness for Peace. He said members of organizations like Witness for Peace are concerned that U.S. policies are not providing enough financial aid to Latin American countries such as Guatemala and Nicaragua, which number among the poorest nations. Stanford said the World Bank and the IMF have imposed policies that have caused environmental damage, elimi nated schools, abused workers and reduced the availability of health care. According to a press release from Witness for Peace, Latin American bureaucrats have further damaged their economies by instituting “structural adjustment programs” that eliminate services targeted to the public such as education and transport. Stanford said these reasons con tributed to the need for debt relief in Third World countries. i Buy any dinner and C^** 9 *) two beverages J at the regular price and / receive a second dinner •- -■WMnd of equal or lesser value HHL _ |1- 1 j (up to $7.95 value) FREE!!!!

Markatos said the U.S. and European governments have acted to alleviate, some of the debt. “They’ve made progress, but they haven’t gone far enough,” he said. Raleigh is just one of about 100 U.S. ; cities, including Seatde and Washington, D.C., where rallies will be held. The rally for global economic justice will be held at Fayetteville Street Mall in Raleigh from noon to 1 p.m today. The State & National Editor can be . reached atstntdesk@unc.edu.
