Germanys pursue united
economies in 8 weeks
EAST BERLIN East Germany's
prime minister on Thursday said the
Germanys may merge their economies
within eight weeks, but he demanded
that West Germany pay a bigger price
for unification.
Lothar de Maiziere also said East
Germany would defend the military
interests of the Soviet Union but still
would pursue the quick path to unifica
tion that Moscow opposes.
; De Maiziere, in his first speech to the
ffeely elected Parliament, said a final
pjan for a single Germany could be in
place before Parliament breaks for .the
summer.
: "In the next eight to 10 weeks we
will lay the foundations for the eco
nomic, monetary and social union so
that this union can enter into force
before the summer break," he said.
;' , He said East Germany must be an
;equal partner in the talks and the na
tions "must agree on conditions that
ensure East Germans do not get the
feeling of being second-class German
citizens."
Students riot, protest U.S.
involvement in Korea
SEOUL, South Korea Thousands
of radical students clashed with riot
police Thursday during nationwide
protests marking the 30th anniversary
of an uprising that toppled the country's
first authoritarian government.
"Crush the pro-American fascist
regime!" yelled students as they hurled
rocks and fire bombs at riot troops in
Seoul.
News reports said at least 30,000
radicals and dissidents protested in at
least six cities. Police reported 25,000
students rallied at 76 colleges and uni
versities and about 10,000 of the pro
testers were violent.
About 50 arrests were reported in
Seoul. No injuries were reported, but
dozens of police and protesters were hit
by rocks or glass as fire bombs ex
ploded. Census to keep counting
in spite of low returns
WASHINGTON The Census
Bureau remains determined to count
Americans, but the bureau director said
Thursday that lagging public response
means the effort could cost an addi
tional $100 million or more.
"We plan to follow up on every
housing unit for which a questionnaire
was not returned and we have the work
force to do it," bureau director Barbara
E Bryant told the House Census sub
committee. ; 'The only thing that has changed is
tfiat our workload of personal-visit
fpllowup will be larger than originally
planned." To date, 63 percent of house
holds have returned the forms; the
bureau had hoped for a 70 percent re
turn by this time.
'. The overall cost of the 1990 national
head count, spread over 10 years, is
expected to total about $2.5 billion.
Bryant said the low response rate
could boost the cost by $70 million.
The bureau has already taken a $60
million cut.
Asked if her agency would be asking
for about $ 1 00 million in added money,
she declined to be specific. "It could be
more than that," she said.

Incoming freshmen and all residents
of Morrison Residence Hall will be
issued a new student identification and
all-campus debit card as part of a pilot
program being instituted by the Uni
versity in the fall of 1990.
Rutledge Tufts, general manager of
Student Stores, said the card would be
similar to Carolina Dining Service meal
cards in design, with a magnetic strip
on the back, and capable of eventually
serving many functions on one ID. Tufts
said students should be able to use the
card like a meal card at Student Stores
and in vending machines in the future.
"A couple of years ago, an ad hoc
committee was asked to gather all the
possible uses a single card could be
used for: student ID, semester enroll

Budget cuts continue to hinder Uni

to close, eliminating necessary class
room and campus resources and even
delaying the processing of student aid

Late Chapel Hill developer
Goforth wills $500,000 to UNC
From staff reports
James Paul "J.P." Goforth, the
Chapel Hill developer who was found
dead of carbon monoxide poisoning
Saturday, left $500,000 to UNC in his
will, which was filed Wednesday.
Goforth, a 49-year-old native of
Statesville, is believed to have commit
ted suicide before a criminal investiga
tion of his business could begin. He
earned an undergraduate degree in
industrial relations from UNC in 1963,
and was also an alumnus of the UNC
School of Law, graduating in 1966.
The will, filed in Orange County
Superior Court, was dated Dec. 30,
1989, and lists Goforth 's parents, J.F.
and Hazel Goforth of Statesville; his
sister and brother-in-law Maxime and

looked at a number of schools around
further in the development of this, like
N.C. State and Duke.
'The technology is still very young
and could shift at this point, so we're
taking the pilot approach where we'd
experiment with what seems to be best
from the technological standpoint, and
over a period of the next semester or
two, we can get feedback from users
and potential users."
Tufts said the card would not be used
to replace other cards for a while be
cause its effectiveness would have to
be tested first. "I think it's really not
going to be that interesting until the
next year (1991-1992), but the possi
bilities are exciting. What we're trying
to do is get as many uses as we can on

secured bonds: one of $35,000 for the
April 1 incident and another of $20,000
for the April 4 charge.
The hearing for these charges is set
for April 27.
King was arrested at Cobb at 1:07
a.m. on April 5 after he stood outside
and repeatedly exposed himself to resi
dents inside and exposed himself again
in the dorm's halls after entering the
building. King then assaulted a resident

some of our machines, which is helping
us out tremendously."
Laser printers are now running on
cartridges loaned from student govern
ment, Daughtridge said. "If not for
those, we would have been out of busi
ness a few weeks ago," he said. "But
the end of classes is only a week away,
so I think we'll be able to hang on until
then."
Jane De Hart, a professor in the his

each student in her History 22 class to

examination to cover the cost of repro

John McMillan, Goforth's attorney,
said the total value of the estate had not
been calc ulated yet. The developer 1 isted
$30 million in assets for tax purposes
last year, but his companies faced claims
last fall that totaled more than $300,000.
Chatham-Orange County District
Attorney Carl Fox has said he would
decide later this week how to continue
an investigation of Goforth's business
dealings by the SBI. Fox had announced
during an April 13 press conference
that he would seek the state bureau's
help to investigate complaints from
homeowners and businesses in the area
concerning Goforth.

"The pilot card will be issued to a
small enough group that if there were a
problem or unforeseen uses, we could
modify the card issued, and since we
don't have any money, we're having to
proceed on a small scale."
The card will be of further interest to
Morrison residents because it will serve

About 65 concerned students and
citizens gathered at the Pit Thursday
night to protest the horrors of rape and
sexual assault in this year's Take Back
the Night march.
Mary Townsend, a representative of
the Orange County Rape Crisis Center,
opened the third annual march by ex
plaining the seriousness of rape and
sexual assault and the support available
at the center. "Last year there were 152
rapes and sexual assaults in Orange
County," she said. "We suspect this is
just the tip of the iceberg."
One in 12 adult women is assaulted
during her life, and research shows that
15 to 30 percent of women are sexually
victimized during their college years,
Townsend said. "We suspect there are
many silent victims. I'm here tonight to
speak for those who have suffered long
and hard."
About 84 percent of women who are
sexually assaulted know their assail
ants, and more than half of them are

were upset at the postponement. They

"Just three weeks ago they (a Uni

said would I be interested in looking at
the application of using this card (for
housing) at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte. We went down
and looked at it. They said if we wanted
to, we could test it on one building,"
Kuncl said. Morrison was chosen as the
test site for 1990-1991.
Diffendahl is still dissatisfied with
Kuncl's action, she said. "We've met in
that three weeks. We've talked on the
phone, and he still neglected to tell hse.
I don't believe that his claim that lie

excuse." ;
