Officials still grim as
hostages head home
. 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.

Comparisons between the average
SAT scores of incoming freshmen in
the UNC system and both the Michigan
and California systems indicate students
at other state institutions boast much
higher standardized test scores.
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 University of
California system is considered by most
experts to be the more academically
excellent of the two, combining insti

Replacing Odum Village could double rent
By PETER F. 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

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."

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.

space would allow the graduate stu

"The whole graduate student support
is considerably lower than at other in:

chancellor of student affairs. "Rememf

students. I have no doubt that the people
who live there are benefiting. They're

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

"I don't know where the resources are
going to come from."
