DAMASCUS, Syria Journalist
Terry Anderson, the last American hos
tage in Lebanon, was set free Wednes
day by pro-Iranian Islamic radicals and
said faith and stubbornness helped him
survive the nearly seven-year ordeal.
His release ended a brutal saga in
which Shiite Muslims kept 13 Ameri
cans in chains, killed three and bedev
iled two U.S. presidencies.
A joyous Anderson grinned broadly,
raised his arms and warmly greeted
friends as he entered a conference room
at the Syrian Foreign Ministry. He later
left to meet his 6-year-old daughter,
Sulome, for the first time.
Anderson said sheer determination
got him through his captivity.
"You just do what you have to do.
You wake up every day, summon up the
energy from somewhere . . . and you get
through the day, day after day after
day," said Anderson, The Associate
Press's chief Middle East correspon
dent. "I was lucky enough to have other
people with me most of the time."
His appearance was delayed for
hours. U.N. officials, who have negoti
ated for the release of nine hostages
since August, said he had been caught
in a snowstorm in Lebanon.
Anderson's kidnappers turned him
over to Syrian security officials who
delivered him to U.S. Ambassador
Christopher Ross in Damascus.
"You can't imagine how glad I am to
see you," an emotional Anderson told
reporters. "I've thought about this mo
ment for a long time and now it's here,
and I'm scared to death. I don't know
what to say." He hugged and kissed
Alex Efty, an AP correspondent.
Ending the news conference, he ex
plained: "I have a date with a couple of
beautiful ladies and I'm already very
late." He was referring to Sulome and
her mother, Madeleine.
Asked what his last words to his
kidnappers were, he rolled his eyes and
said simply: "Goodbye."
Frank Reed, who spent two years in
captivity with Anderson, said from
Maiden, Mass., his release truly freed
all hostages once held in Lebanon.
"For me, today is the first day you
can officially call me an ex-hostage,
now that Terry's free," Reed said.
"Thank God almighty we're all free at

Saddam Hussein still powerful despite U.S. ' victory'

The Persian Gulf War may have sub
dued Iraqi President Saddam Hussein
temporarily, but the defiant dictator re
mains firmly in power, which allows
him to rebuild the Iraqi military at an
exponential rate.
Although the U.S.-led allied coali
tion quickly ejected Iraqi forces from
Kuwait, recent reports reveal that
Hussein may soon add nuclear weapons
to his military machine.
"We really did have a great victory,"
said Dolf Droge, a national security
council member for former presidents
Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and
Lyndon Johnson. "B ut now we find that
Saddam Hussein is still there and two
years away from an H-bomb. The war
was 48 hours too short."

'That meeting last night had no legiti

But Heyd disagreed with Moore's
claim that the meeting was in violation
of the code. "The meeting was not ille
gal," he said.
"It's prescribed in the code that a
meeting should be held before classes
end for the semester," he said.
The meeting was entirely optional,
Heyd said. "In fact, I didn't even attend
it last year," he said.
Eile said he ran Monday night's can

barded the Iraqi and Kuwaiti theater for
38 days. After relentless bombing to
weaken Iraqi positions, a four-day
ground assault culminated with a victo
rious march by allied forces into the
Kuwaiti capital.
A cease-fire was called after Iraqi
forces agreed to leave Kuwait, yet the
ensuing peace agreements left Hussein
at the Iraqi helm.
PresidentBush repeatedly said elimi
nating Hussein was not one of the allied
objectives. But many experts agree the
Middle East would be a safer region
without the presence of the threatening
Iraqi leader.

lost the war," said Emanuel Winston, a

affairs for 30 years. "He allowed Saddam

Moore said that according to the
code, any action taken without Elec
tions Board officers is illegal.
The code states: "It shall be the duty
of the Elections Board to administer all
laws governing elections passed by the

Carl Clark, chairman of congress'
Student Affairs Committee, said no
part of theelection process legally could
proceed until Elections Board officers
were appointed and approved by Stu

power. He left half of (Iraq's) military
equipment absolutely untouched."
The threat of Iraq's achieving nuclear
capability could heighten tension in the
region. Recent reports from a United
Nations team investigating Iraqi nuclear
potential revealed that Hussein is much
closer to building a nuclear bomb than
most world leaders had thought.
Hussein would have few reserva
tions about using a nuclear weapon if
Iraq develops the capability, said Curt
Ryan, a UNC political science teaching
assistant. "(Hussein) has certainly
shown his willingness to launch con
ventional missiles at Israel."
Although the five-month Iraqi occu
pation devastated much of Kuwait, the
war-torn nation has begun substantial
efforts to rebuild. Most of the extensive
oil fires set by Iraqis during their retreat
have been extinguished.
The Kuwaiti monarchy has regained
control of the government, a move which

Students may have one more deci

proposal to let them select the student
body vice president passes in Student

Jennifer Lloyd, Dist. 12, has pro

Some traditions are better left behind
and that's what the Campus Y has
been trying to do with its history of
segregation. Most say it has succeeded.
Some students have called the Cam
pus Y "the Campus White," a liberal
organization for white honors students.
Sarah Davis, co-chairwoman of the
Student Environmental Action Coali
tion, said old perceptions of the group
were understandable, but said it was
worth the effort to look again.
"I understand that African-American
students may not be comfortable in
(a predominantly white) atmosphere,"
Davis said. "There's a perception we
areconcerned with so-called upper-class
issues, and we need to change that per
ception." The Campus Y is fairly representa
tive, roughly 60 percent women, 90
percent white, but members are more
concerned with fully integrating its
membership within the community than
with just having the right statistics.
Segregated summer?
Freshman Camp, a Campus Y com-
move toward a democracy," Droge said.
"That should have been the price ex
acted from Kuwait for (U.S. help). We
didn't ask for it, and we didn't get it."
Although tension remains in the
Middle East, the formation of an Arab
coalition with the allies during the war
shows progress toward improved re
gional relations. Ongoing Middle East
peace talks in Washington, D.C. fuel
hope for reconciliation within the vola
tile area, he said.
"I don't expect any miraculous break
throughs," Ryan said. "Even without
huge amounts of progress, peace talks
are peace talks and that's better than
firing at each other."
The war enabled the United States,
the major power in the allied coalition,
to flex its military muscles. Impressed
with the American military machine,
Arab leaders hope the United States
will be as effective at promoting peace
in the region now that the fighting has
subsided, Ryan said.
Mounting domestic problems could

"I think the potential is definitely
there," Moore said. "A lot of people are
going to have questions."
Moore said Heyd planned to have
appointments before Winter Break and
a congress meeting would be held be
fore Jan. 22.
The Rules and Judiciary and Student
Affairs Committees will review the ap
pointments before congress meets.
Heyd said elections would run on
time next semester even though the
Elections Board's officers were not in
place now. "The code calls for them
(elections) to be on time," he said.
Clark said, "I do believe the cam

president, the speaker of Student Con
gress and the president of the Graduate
and Professional Student Federation.

mittee, is one of the first chances stu
dents have to get acquainted with the
organization. About 165 students go
every year.
Jimmy Sposato, 1991 co-chairman,
said: "A lot of Freshman Camp is trying
to build unity and school spirit and
trying to get (freshmen) excited about
coming here. It gets them comfortable
being at Carolina and branching out to
their place on campus."
He estimated that about 50 Freshman
Campers became active in the Campus
Y each year.
Chris Shelton, last year's co-chairman
for Yokefellows, a committee that
spends time with prisoners at a mini
mum security prison, joined the Cam
pus Y because of the camp.
"Everybody was just really energetic
and kinetic running, jumping, play

Director Zenobia Hatcher-Wilson
said, 'The majority of Y leaders come
through Freshman Camp, in fact, and
stay through the Y for four years."

in all, Terry's just another brick in the
Hall.
A frigid shooting performance by
Seton Hall's All-America candidate
Terry Dehere Wednesday sent the No.
6 Pirates down to their worst defeat
since 1970. Fifth-ranked North Caro
lina laid it on the Hall 83-54 in front of
15,176 in Brendan Byrne Arena.
Dehere led the way for Seton Hall
(2-1), misfiring on 19 of 22 shots,
including lOof 1 1 from 3-point range.
Following his lead, the Pirates shot
32.8 percent from the floor, while turn
ing the ball over 20 times. Jerry Wal ker
(19 points) and Gordon Winchester
(12) were the only Hall players in
double figures.
At 5-0, UNC is off to its best start

Although campers see the experi
ence as a very positive one, the camp
may indirectly contribute to minority
recruitment problems, students say.
"Freshman Camp is basically white
kids," Sposato said. "It takes place the
exact same time as Pre-O." Pre-Orien-tation,
co-sponsored by the Black Stu
dent Movement and University Affairs,
is designed for black and Native-American
students.
"It's hard for us to attract (minori
ties) to us and that's something we're
working on," Sposato said.
Joe Farmer, a sophomore from Co
lumbia, S.C., attended Freshman Camp.
"After they put us and Pre-0 in the
same room and said, 'Mingle!' and we
were all dumbfounded, then I realized,
'This is where the black people were
and not with us.'
"Race relations would be a lot better
served to have black people and all
kinds of people all together in one Fresh
man Camp, or two, if you need to get all
the people in," he said. "I think it's a
pretty obvious case of segregation."
This year'scommittee heads added a
race relations seminar to the two-hour
social at the end of the camp. Sposato
said the seminar was necessary because

Providence 76-66 in Wednesday 's first

Dehere's rocky performance was
due in part to an outstanding defen
sive effort from UNC's Hubert Davis,
but the Pirates junior guard also threw
up some mortar shots.
"Hubert's defense on Dehere was
partially responsible for his bad night,"
said UNC head coach Dean Smith.
"(Dehere's) a great player, but he only
got about four good looks at the bas
