Soviets u From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON - The Bush administration on Thursday stepped up its appeal to the Soviet Union to change course in Central America, urging the Soviets to take steps to further peace in Nicaragua and halt the flow of arms to the region. In remarks by Secretary of State James Baker and by spokesmen at the White House and State Depart ment, the administration signaled that the upcoming visit to Cuba by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev would be a good opportunity for the Soviets to indicate a new direction. "We are looking for signs of new thinking," Baker said in a speech in Atlanta. "The Soviet Union now has an opportunity to demonstrate it in Central America." White House press secretary Mar lin Fit7water said Gorbachev has :ederal takeover tally From Associated Press reports WASHINGTON Federal reg ulators took over nine more savings and loan associations in six states on Thursday, bringing the total under government control to 175 in 28 states. The institutions in Alabama, Geor gia, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin had assets totaling $3.5 billion at the end of 1988. The largest of the nine, Broadview Sav ings Bank of Cleveland, had $1.8 billion in assets. Meanwhile, the Bush administra tion moved to meet congressional worries about the government's sale of billions of dollars in real estate repossessed from failed associations. In a section-by-section analysis of amendments to President Bush's savings and loan plan, the Treasury Protest ."They have no damn business on this campus, whatsoever." Segal said the CIA's actions directly violate the U.S. Constitution. "Our Constitution says the govern ment must rule with the consent of the governed. They (CIA) destabilize countries and overthrow governments. "They do it without asking every body here. That ain't cool. If we don't defend the Constitution we might as well shred it up and throw it away.". rThe CIA not only violates inter national law, but U.S. law as well, said CIAAC member Graham Ent wistle. "They play around a lot with drugs. They've done experiments with LSD to see if it could be used for mind control." Entwistle said the CIA was guilty For 25 years, our peoplo havo endured long hours and tough working conditions for virtually no pay. And 9 out of 10 would do it again.

Fitzwater. when asked what the United States might be willing to do for the Soviets in return, told report ers the administration sees Soviet performance in the region as "interre lated" with other aspects of U.S. Soviet relations. While stating he could not discuss specific diplomatic overtures, Fitz water said, "The president has made his views known to Secretary General Gorbachev on this issue. We would like to see the Soviet Union . . . use its influence in Nicaragua to bring Department said the agency that would be created to handle failed institutions will "consider the effect of transactions on property values in local real estate markets and on local banking markets." Legislators from states such as Texas and Colorado, where much of the repossessed real estate is located, are looking for a guarantee that the government won't sell off the real estate too quickly. The administration, seeking to preserve as much flexibility as pos sible, is hoping a general statement of intent regarding the real estate will head off more detailed amendments to its bill. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., which regulates commercial banks, is going into the sickest associations with the goal of minim of wiretapping, theft, burglary and break-ins. "They are not a lawful organization. The only thing they know about law is how to get around it, yet we still allow them on this campus and let them use our build ings, time and people. This is nasty. This is sick. This has got to stop." Members said they did not oppose students interviewing with the CIA, as long as interviews are not con ducted on the University campus. If . students, want to interview .with the. CIA, they can go to Pennsylvania" Avenue, or whatever hole they're in," Segal said.

"We would like to see the Soviet Union withdraw their resources and support in Nicaragua," he said. "And we would like to see Secretary Gorbachev take an active role in furthering both of those objectives." Baker, speaking to a conference in Atlanta hosted by former presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald R. Ford, said of Central America: "We must send a clear message to others outside this hemisphere: this is not a dumping ground for their arms or their failed ideology."

In another development, consumer activist Ralph Nader said Thursday he will launch a grass roots effort to persuade Congress to force corpora tions and the wealthy, rather than small depositors and individual taxpayers, to pay for the savings and loan rescue. Hoping to repeat his recent success at stopping the congressional pay raise, Nader is asking consumer groups around the country to demand that members of Congress representing their areas sign pledges promising not to burden taxpayers tion in his head to know the CIA is nasty business.

"Even if the students knew, there is an incredible amount of inertia on this campus. They (students) would say 'I don't want to know about it. Give me a beer.' " The protesters marched to the law ' school, stood with their faces against a wall and recited a series of wrongs they believe the CIA has committed. Link, acting law school dean, met with the protesters in a hall of the school and discussed their reasons for demonstrating against the interviews. "I appreciate your point," he said. VX t ,..

Fitzwater said Baker had discussed that position recently with Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. Bush on different occasions has voiced his feeling that the Soviet Union has less of an interest in the region than does the United States. The Central American peace efforts are expected to be central to separate meetings Bush will hold next week with El Salvador's incoming president, Alfredo Cristiani, and with Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, who has been a leader in pushing regional peace solutions in Central America. Bush also is expected to discuss the issue on Saturday when he meets with Venezuela's President Carlos Andres Perez to talk about the Latin debt crisis. and depositors.

Recruits from the law school will do basic legal work for the CIA, Link said. "An organization, whether it's broken the law or not, has a right to assistance of counsel." If the problems exist with the CIA, then the oversight is in Congress funding the organization, Link said. He also said the protesters were assuming that all the students who signed up to interview with the CIA agreed with all of the CIA's actions. Members asked Link if he would write a letter to Chancellor Paul Hardin urging him to hold a debate, on campus between representatives from the CIA and CIAAC, and Link said he would consider such an action.

Exxon Valdez skipper Joseph Hazelwood had a blood-alcohol reading of .061 when measured nine hours after the ship rammed Blight Reef, said William Woody, head of a four-man National Transportation Safety Board team investigating the spill. Hazel wood's urine sample reading was .09. The Coast Guard limit for operating a commercial vessel at sea is .04, Woody said. Hazelwood was not on the bridge when the tanker ran aground March 24. Third mate Gregory Cousins, who the Coast Guard says lacked proper certifi cation, was giving the orders. Threat preceded Moslem death BRUSSELS, Belgium The Moslem cleric slain in his Brussels office had been threatened with death for opposing Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's order that author Salman Rushdie be killed as a blasphemer, officials said Thursday. " . Vice Premier Willy Claes said Abdullah Andal, who was killed Wednesday, received a telephone threat March 24 because of his disagreement with Khomeini's death sentence on the Indian-born British novelist for writing "The Satanic Verses." Rushdie has been in hiding in Britain since Khomeini issued the Debate statements by explaining that she did not support the Holocaust, and that many Jewish groups supported the right to choose abortion. She asked whose responsibility it was to decide when life begins. "Rights don't begin at conception," she said. "The government should not make the decision when there is only one solution." But Schlafly continued her defense by saying, "The government did not force you to get pregnant." The unborn baby is a human life, not just a part of the woman, she said. Schlafly said she did support the death penalty because the person receiving the punishment had been tried by a jury, but an unborn baby is not on trial. "Killing the unborn life in a woman is not a liberation, but a form of killing." A member of the audience asked the debaters if contraceptive educa tion was a solution to the. large number of abortions. Schflafly responded to the question by stating her approval of contraceptive use, but Summer Employment Opportunity Jobs available with the UNC Physical Plant-Housing Support Paint Crew.

Claes said "the Islamic world is' deeply divided" by Khomeini's execution order, which Iranian' clerics accompanied with a reward of $5.2 million, and the threat "clearly referred to the moderate viewpoints" Ahdal had expressed.' Prisoners' revolt ended SANTA CATARINA PIN U LA, Guatemala Rebellious inmates Thursday ended a fivej day uprising that left at least seven people dead and subjected hundreds of women and children trapped inside the prison to hunger, cold and fear. r; The government signed an accord with the mutinous inmates that calls for replacing Pavon prison's authorities and entire guard corps and guaranteeing "the absolute physical integrity" of the rebels. , At least four guards and three inmates were killed in the uprising at the country's largest prison, ! 5 miles east of Guatemala City. The rebels had demanded guaranteed pardons for crimes committed during the revolt, but the govern ment said only Congress can pardon crimes. v. Interior Minister Roberto Valte Valdizan, the government's special attorney general for human rights; and three representatives of an estimated 100 rebel inmates signcu the accord a day after authorities cut off food, water and electricity to the overcrowded prison. .i from page 1 she criticized education of young children on contraceptive use, in public schools, claiming that, sex education imposes others' views. .on impressionable young people. Weddington said the responsibility was to prevent pregnancies, rather than prohibit the option of having a choice. -I Another audience member asked why a law should restrict abortion if women do not receive equal rights in the Constitution Weddington said the Constitution said nothing about abortion because, the issue was not one that was addressed when it was written. - Schlafly, an expert on constitu tional issues, said, "Women havelall the freedoms men do in the Consti tution, and have since the beginning." The final question proposed "births on demand," a hypothetical situation in which all men have vasectomies and women can request a srdrm implant if they wish to become pregnant. ? Schlafly responded by saying that rather than handling the problem of abortion in that manner, women should understand the risks involved in sexual relationships, and compared the risks to that in the movie "Faial Attraction," in which the lead char acters become sexually involved for a weekend and the woman beconies pregnant, much to the man's distress. Weddington responded, "I really don't think 'Fatal Attraction is Che normal relationship. I don't under stand why some people put so miich energy into prolonging the pregnancy instead of working on quality of fife here." j . i poetics
