:Gresi4 Decisions lecture foetuses
on Afghanistan-Pakistan strife
By MATT BIVENS

'The current situation in Afghan
istan can be described by "the seven
. Rs": revolution, rhetoric, reform,
repression, refugees, resistance and
Russians, Louis Dupree, a visiting
' professor of Islamic Arabic Devel
opment Studies from Duke Univer
sity said at the fourth lecture in the
Great Decisions series.
The lecture. "Afghanistan and
Pakistan: Storm over Southeast
; Asia." drew about 150 people to the
; Hanes Art Center despite bad
; weather Tuesday night.
The history of Afghanistan and
Pakistan is one of inner turmoil,
because different "ethno-lingusitic"
groups in constant competition have
existed in both countries for centur
; ies. Dupree said.

"In the fall (in Afghanistan), when
there's nothing to do. they fight each
other." he said.
Afghanistan's troubles began in
1978. when an "accidental" coup
d'etat occurred and the newly estab-
lished democratic government was
replaced by a leftist government, he
said.
The people accepted the leftist
government because they were too
busy farming, he said, but when the
fall and the end of farming season
arrived, revolution began.
Dupree said he did not think the
Soviet Union would send troops to
Afghanistan to defend the leftist
government.
Since the coup d'etat in 1978, more
than one-third of the population has
fled the country, he said. About three
million sought refuge in Pakistan.

police planner Keith Lohmann.
The Chapel Hill Police Depart
ment investigated six weather
related accidents Monday and Tues
day, but none were serious, Loh
mann said.
Many people were more con
cerned about running out of food
than the hazards of driving in the
icy conditions.
"When it snows, people in Chapel
Hill go crazy," said Greg Middgett,
assistant front end manager for the

With the first prediction of bad

Of the remaining Afghans, only
seven of the 12 major ethno-r
linguistic groups of Afghanistan
have banded together since 1985 in
any organized fashion, he said,
"There's no sense saying there is
a national liberation movement in
Afghanistan." Dupree said.
Arms are supplied to Afghan
rebels by western countries through
Pakistan, the only available route
since Afghanistan is a landlocked
country, he said.
Using these arms, the rebels have
inflicted heavy casualties on the
Soviets in '' the last eight months,
shooting down an average of a
helicopter a day, he said.
Because of this, the Soviets must
choose between increasing their
involvement or withdrawing from
the country, Dupree said. .
"I can't conceive of the mothers
of Leningrad banding together to
'bring our boys home from Afghan
istan.' 1 can't conceive of Soviet draft
dodgers burning their (draft registra-
tion) cards," he said.

Shiites, Druse still fighting
in Beirut; deaths reach 30
From Associated Press reports
BEIRUT, Lebanon Shiites
fought an alliance of Druse and
communist gunmen for the third day
Tuesday in a battle for control of
Moslem west Beirut that has caused
scores of casualties and set whole
neighborhoods ablaze.
Police said at least 30 people were
dead and 150 wounded since the
fighting began Sunday.
Grenade explosions and bursts of
fire from heavy machine guns rocked
the city all day and kept fire engines
from reaching residential fires
sparked by the intensity of the battle.
Thousands of families took refuge
in basements and bomb shelters.

Mary Scholl. a junior from Chapel
Hill, and Bill Yelverton, a sopho
more from Darien, Conn., were
elected Campus Y co-presidents
Tuesday.
Scholl ran unopposed for a second
term as female co-president, and
Yelvertotv defeated junior Carter
Newbold of Tucker, Ga., for the
male co-president seat.
About 100 students voted at the
Campus Y, electing the co-presidents
and seven other officers to serve on
the Campus Y's executive commit
tee. The co-presidents, two co
treasurers, one secretary and four
members-at-large make up the exec
utive committee.

Zenobia Hatcher-Wilson refused to

said the Soviet Union would change
its approach to human rights "for all
to see."
Foreign Ministry spokesman Gen
nady Gerasimov said about 150
dissidents have been granted pardons
so far in a review of sentences under
two laws prohibiting anti-Soviet
slander, agitation and propaganda.
He said 1 40 to 1 50 cases are still being
considered.
Demonstrators in Moscow and the
United States urged Begun4s release
last week. Soviet plainclothes police
broke up the Moscow
demonstrations.

officer nominated to run the CIA,

resigning if ordered by the White
House to conceal a covert operation

Campus Y's tradition of sponsoring
programs to help the campus and
the community. .
"I want to make the Y more visible
to people on the outside and let them
know what happens inside the
building," he said.
Stuart Gansky, a senior from
Cherry Hill, N.J., and Aimee Belue,
a junior from Reston, Va ran
unopposed for seats as co-treasurers.
Gansky, who was running for re
election, said his past term in office
was characterized by "fiscal respon
sibility." He said he hopes to con
centrate on fund raising in the
coming year.
Belue was not available for com
ment Tuesday night.
Freshman Polly Guthrie of
Raleigh was elected secretary of the
executive committee. Guthrie was a
chief organizer of Rape Awareness
Week and will be a freshman camp
counselor.
"I like what the Y does and I want
to stay involved with it," Guthrie
said. "Also, 1 like representing
underclass people."
The four newly elected members-at-large
are Robin Agnew, a sopho
more from England; Cedric Brown,
a sophomore from Pfafftown;
Louise Rambo, junior from Mt.
Pleasant and Laura Walker, a junior
from Concord.
They will supervise Campus Y
activities, oversee committees and
act as liaisons between the executive
committee and the Campus Y's sub
committees. The only write-in candidate was
Mickey Mouse, who received one
vote. Scholl said that everyone who
ran was extremely qualified.

to the information, though, because
the election laws were made available
to all candidates."
Another claim that will go unde
cided is that congress does not have
the power to set a 20 percent voter
turnout requirement to referenda on
1M-REC fees.
"1M-REC fees are not a student fee,
according to my understanding,"
Madison said. "And Student Congress
does not have the power to allocate
them."
Poole disagreed. "There's a distinc
tion between student activity fees and
student fees." he said. "Student activity
fees are a component of student fees
and are allocated by Student Congress.
. . . Student Congress has the power
to govern all election laws and establish
laws. Whether the 20 percent is outside
its realm or not is a good question."

University, she said.
"Even if the University had called
off classes, they still can't keep
students off campus." she said.
