BAGDHAD More than 150 freed American hostages headed for joyful homecomings on Monday, but hopes of peace raised by their release were dimmed by tough statements from both sides in the Persian Gulf crisis. Despite its decision to free the thou sands of foreign captives, the Baghdad government made its toughest statement in weeks on Kuwait, saying it would "not compromise one iota" in its claim to the emirate it seized on Aug. 2. ; Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, meanwhile, said Iraq's move to free the foreigners should not create unrealistic expectations about a resolution to the gulf crisis. He also said Iraqi President Saddam Hussein deserved no particular praise for deciding to end his "abhorrent" hostage holding. Even as the freed hostages were streaming out of Iraq, more and more military forces converged on the gulf region. France announced it would increase its troops by an unspecified number, and Cheney said Saddam had been sending in reinforcements in recent days. Gorbachev accepts Nobel Peace Prize OSLO, Norway Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev accepted the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize in absentia today. He said problems in his homeland prevented him from coming to the awards cer emony. "I do not regard the 1 990 Nobel Peace Prize as an award to me personally, but as a recognition of what we call perestroika and innovative political thinking, which is of vital significance for human destinies all over the world," Gorbachev said in a message from Moscow. In an acceptance speech read by his envoy, Anatoly Kovalyov, Gorbachev promised to continue the process of openness and reform. Kovalyov said the prize's $715,000 cash award probably would be donated to worthy causes. Declaration would let Afghans end war ; ISLAMABAD, Pakistan A decla ration providing a face-saving super power exit from the Afghanistan conflict has been drafted by U.S. and Soviet officials and could be released this week, diplomatic sources said Monday. The three-point document is delib erately vague and would let the Afghans decide how to settle the 12-year-old war, said the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity. ! The declaration falls far short of ending to the conflict, they said. But pressure has been increasing for both sides to clear Afghanistan from the agenda before the Jan. 15 deadline for Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait. : The document could be released dur ing the current talks between Secretary of State James Baker and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze in Houston, the sources said. Washington'senvoy to the Afghan resistance, Peter Tomsen, was expected in Pakistan on Tuesday. He was prepared to explain any announcement to the Afghan guerrillas, who have been try ing since 1978 to overthrow the Soviet supported government in Kabul.

Only one of the eight University of California institutions listed in the system's compilation of the average SAT scores for the 1990 incoming freshman class had an average score below 1000: UC at Riverside had an average of 982. The state universities and colleges in California are divided into two systems, the University of California system and the California State University and Colleges system.

The survey did not allow the university official who responded to the survey an opportunity to elaborate on what UNC actually has ages tutions of research and teaching. Three of the University of California schools posted combined score averages higher than 1 100: UC at Berkeley, 1 174; UC at Los Angeles, 1 140; and UC at San Di ego, 1129. Although the University of Michigan system has not collected data from all of its schools, the averages are relatively consistent. "We usually have averages very similar to these (those collected for this year)," said Bruce Montgomery, a spokesman for the President's Counsel Board for the University of Michigan system. "But, it's important to remem ber that most Michigan students take the ACT."

WALLSTEN City Editor Residents of family student housing could pay nearly double what they pay now for an apartment if the University builds a facility to replace Odum Village. University administrators want to move family student housing to make way for the proposed South Loop Road, which would reduce traffic around UNC Hospitals by rerouting Manning Drive. South Loop would run from near the intersection of Manning Drive at the U.S. 15-501 Bypass, between the South Campus residence halls and the Dean E. Smith Center, and connect with South Columbia Street. The Chapel Hill Town Council will decide in January whether to include the proposal in the state-funded thor oughfare plan. The council will hold a work session soon after the first of the year, council member Joe Herzenberg said Monday. The residents would pay $460 per month, almost $200 more than the present cost of $286 per month, for a two-bedroom apartment in a new fa cility. That's according to a study compiled by UNC Investment Office director Wayne Morgan. A three-bed about you? Audrey, Twin Peaks said. The University is training students and faculty in numerous offices and departments across campus to deal with rape response, including University Housing, the General College, the College of Arts and Sciences, Univer sity police, Student Affairs, the Uni versity counseling center, the office of the attorney general and the Rape Ac Ben Tuchi, vice chancellor for busi ness and finance, said faculty hiring was handled individually by department chairmen. Other officials said the reduction in the University's budget hindered mi nority faculty hiring. Robert Cannon, the University's Af Dental employee By STEPHANIE JOHNSTON Assistant University Editor A Dental School employee who filed a sexual harassment grievance in No vember against a professor at the school will pursue her case because adminis trators refused to document that as the reason for moving the professor's office. Martha Barbour, dental ecology de partment manager, said James Bader, a research associate professor in the de partment, had been harassing her for five years. Bader's office was moved from the School of Dentistry in October. Bader refused to comment on the grievance and Barbour's allegations. Barbour said Dr. Theodore Odenberg, assistant dean of the School of Dentistry , told her Bader was not informed that he was moved out of the dental school as a reprimand for his unacceptable behav ior. Barbour said she was pursuing the room apartment would cost $525 per month. The new facility would cost the Uni versity more than $23 million, with a cost of $57,575 per unit. Residents have said they were op posed to any rent increase, and. some have indicated the only reason they attended UNC was because of the affordability of Odum Village. Karin Evans, an Odum Village resi dent, said, "The point of Odum Village is to provide inexpensive housing so graduate students can afford to be graduate students. It seems to me the cost of rent is critical. It's the point of having family student housing, to pro vide affordable living." Evans said that because both she and her husband are graduate students, they could not afford to pay any more than their present rent at Odum Village. "We're living on two teaching as sistantships, she said. "The total is about $10,000 from last year, and now we're up to a whopping $12,000 or $13,000. It's ludicrous to imagine two graduate students could afford $400 or $500 rents. We can barely afford the rents here." A new facility would create a total of tion Project, she said.

"I doubt any one person leaves for one reason," he said. "There is not any one reason why black faculty leave." See RETENTION, page 7 pursues grievance grievance because she wanted the record to show that Bader's office was moved as a disciplinary action. She also wants assurances from the dean that the school would not permit behavior such as Bader's, she said. Odenberg said Monday a letter had been sent from the Dean of the School of Dentistry, Dr. John Stamm, to Barbour, Bader and Al McSurely, Barbour's lawyer. The letter, which was sent after Bader's office was moved, stated that Bader was moved because of Barbour's complaints. McSurely said he was supposed to receive a letter from Stamm, but neither he nor Vice Chancellor for Human Resources Laurie Charest, who also should have received a letter from Stamm, received one. Stamm was out See GRIEVANCE, page 5 400 units, a substantial increase from the 306 units in Odum Village.

"Rememf ber, we're only helping a few graduate students. I have no doubt that the people who live there are benefiting. They're the lucky few." ; Another study done by the Investment Office looked into the possibility of purchasing an existing complex to ret place Odum Village. Vice Chancellor of Business and Finance Ben Tuchi would not rule out such a purchase, while Boulton said he would not support it. "I don't see anything like that hapt pening in the near future," Boulton said, "I don't know where the resources are going to come from."
