Goroadriev seeks By GLENN O'NEAL Staff Writer Mikhail Gorbachev, Supreme So viet chairman, has initiated a move within the Soviet government to create a stronger Soviet presidency in an ef fort to appease ethnic minorities and to consolidate power in the government. The Associated Press reported that the Supreme Soviet voted 374-27 at the beginning of the week to preliminary approval of a bill that would create a presidency with a five-year term, re placing the position of Supreme Soviet chairman. ' The bill is subject to final approval by the Congress of People's Deputies, which meets on March 12 and 13, said Boris Malakhov, press spokesman for the Sov iet Embassy in Washington D.C. Yuri Kirilchenko, reporter for the Soviet news agency Tass, said Wednes day the bill provides for a vast scope of power to be given to the new president. "The power provides a more effec tive means of governing the country," he said. The powers of the proposed presi dency include: the power to veto legis lation; the power to declare war and states of emergency; and the power to dissolve the Soviet Parliament, Kirilch- from Raleigh LONDON BERLIN AMSTERDAM VIENNA TOKYO CARACAS RIO Taxes not included.

The Associated Press re ported that the president would also appoint a prime minister. The election of the president would not be by general election at first, Ki rilchenko said, but the process of a general election will be worked out eventually. "It is a little bit premature to draw any suggestions on what it (the bill) will eventually lead to," he said. Kirilchencko said the post was not created for Gorbachev, but added that the Soviet leader is most likely to as sume the position. Robert Rupen, political science pro fessor at UNC-CH, said Wednesday the move for a presidency was part of the shift within the Soviet Union from an one-party monopoly system to a system allowing more participation by many different groups. Rupen predicted that many changes will follow the strengthening of the presidency. In the future, elections in the Soviet Union will offer people true alternatives, he said. Joel Schwartz, political science pro fessor at UNC-CH, said Thursday the creation of a stronger Soviet presidency is in response to the breaking apart of the Communist Party across Eastern Europe. Baltic states push for From Associated Press reports MOSCOW Lithuanians are speed ing up the election of their new parlia ment so it can vote for independence before March 12, when Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is expected to get what one activist on Thursday called "dictatorial" powers. In the neighboring Baltic republic of Latvia, the parliament chose a collision course with Moscow on Thursday when it gave youths the right to refuse con scription in the Soviet army. In Moldavia, another of the increas ingly restive Soviet republics, Com munist leaders admitted their party's past mistakes and agreed to talks with popular political movements, Tass said. Already, 22 local election boards in Lithuania have moved up the runoff election from March 1 0 to March 4, the official news agency Tass reported.

' vW. X If i lyegbss i I? WMM i DEPTH stronger office A smart politician will create an al ternative source of power when the Communist Party loses power, Schwartz said. Schwartz used the events in Lithuania as an example of the chang ing nature of the Communist Party. The Communist Party in Lithuania sepa rated itself from the Soviet Communist Party in an attempt to prove itself as the defender of Lithuanian independence, he said. The independent Communist party lost terribly in the election, Schwartz said. Popular Front, a non-communist party, won 80 percent of the govern ment offices in Lithuania. "The point is, the leopard cannot change its spots fast enough to make perceptual differ ences to the electorate." Josef Anderle, history professor at UNC-CH, said there were two motiva tions behind Gorbachev's proposal of a stronger presidency. The Soviet leader is concerned about the fact of peris troika not doing that well economi cally. The present government is not strong enough to push through the re forms, he said. Also, the Communist Party cannot play a role in appeasing nationalistic movements in the Soviet Union, move ments such as in the Baltic area and in central Asia, he said. A strong govern ment might be able to appease these movements, he said. Vitoris Radjavichus, a spokesman for the Lithuanian people's front, Sajudis. That will allow the new Lithuanian parliament to meet and possibly vote on independence before March 12, Radjavichus said. March 12 is the opening day of the Soviet Congress of People's Deputies, which is scheduled to vote on creating a powerful presidency, expected to be occupied by Gorbachev. The bill would give Gorbachev the power to declare a state of emergency and suspend a republic's parliament on his own. He could also send troops into a locality and declare war without ask ing the Soviet parliament. Radjavichus described the powers as "dictatorial." Progressives strongly object to the bill. "All decisions can be crossed out by the president," said parliamentarian Ana toly Sobchak in debate Tuesday. Candidates backed by Sajudis, which t f.. Lounge of Greenlaw.

Monday-Friday 10:00-6:00Saturday 10:00-2:00 Schwartz said the powers of the new ' presidency were too extensive. The1. Soviet Union does not presently have ' the political traditions to constrain powerful leaders in times other than, war, Schwartz said. Currently Gorbachev's domestic power is depend ent upon his international status, he said. The concern is what will happen: after Gorbachev, he added. Gorbachev does not have the su'pJ port of the majority of the Communis Party, Schwartz said. Gorbachev faces opposition from party members who make up the large Soviet bureaucracy! an institution he is trying to diminish, , he said. Anderle said the members of the bureaucracy did not want to lose the privileges their position provides: a good salary, power and a high position in society. : The people might find a strong presi dent desirable because past regimes that featured strong leaders were op-, pressive, but they also were efficient in maintaining the national economy, he said. Rupen said Gorbachev faced trouble from the people themselves, mainly because of economic problems in the country. "If they demonstrate, they will demonstrate for food," he said. autonomy favors independence, won 70 of 90 seats filled in the first round of the . election Feb. 24. However, 94 of the . parliament's 140 seats, or a two-thirds majority, must be filled before the body : can begin to act, Sajudis secretary Andryus Kubilyus told the Radio Moscow news service Interfax. Kazimieras Motieka, a Sajudis leader and member of the national parliament,: appealed on Lithuanian TV for the republic's new legislature to take of fice by March 10 or 11, Tass said. In the December session of Con- gress, Motieka asked Kremlin leaders to begin negotiations on their demand for independence from the Soviet Un ion, which forcibly annexed Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia in 1940. Tass quoted Gorbachev as saying the "first moves" toward a solution became apparent during the emotional debate. 9:30 a.m.: AIESEC will be hosting the World Game until 1 2:30 p.m. The game deals with working together to solve world problems.
