A Korean language program is also needed to increase student awareness about Asian countries, said Michel Oksenberg, a political science professor at the Center for Chinese Studies. "Less than 20 percent of the stu- dents could identify where Korea is located on a blank map," Oksenberg said. "This is disgraceful and an indi- cation of a serious failure in educa- tion at this university," he said. "It is good to see that we are tak- ing cultural change seriously," said Dr. Charles Moody, vice provost for minority affairs. "We want to make sure that we will do everything we can to make the University of Michigan all it can be." Soviets leave road open to war ALONG THE SALANG HIGH- WAY, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghan troops and Moslem guerrillas fought for control of this highway yesterday as the Soviet army moved out what may have been the last convoy to leave Afghanistan by truck. A convoy of Soviet soldiers driv- ing -armored personnel carriers and trucks loaded with missile launchers and other equipment cruised through a Soviet bunker checkpoint as heli- copter gunships hovered nearby, of- fering cover. Two ground-attack jets streaked overhead and then disappeared behind the snow-covere.d mountains just beyond the hills surrounding the capital of Kabul. In Pakistan, Western diplomats speaking on condition of anonymity said that in the past week an average of 18 Soviet transport planes a day had landed and taken off from Kabul - more than twice the number re- ported the previous week. TheSoviets sent about 115,000 troops into Afghanistan in December 1979 to prop up a Marxist govern- ment that seized power in a coup the previous year. The Red Army began pulling out eight months ago under an agree- ment sponsored by the United Na- tions to end the nine-year interven- tion. Soviet diplomats in Kabul say the remaining 15,000 to 20,000 troops could be gone by the end of the week, about 10 days before the U.N. deadline. partments would result in layoffs of between 600 and 800 employees. But 2,200 employees would lose their jobs if the Free Press shut down. University Communications Pro- fessor James Buckley explained that consolidating the two newspapers will give them greater marketing power and monopoly status while "screwing all the small guys" who won't be able to compete. Buckley opposes a JOA in general because, "it sets a bad precedent for newspapers to go hand-in-hand with the government. If newspapers want true independent autonomy they can- not ask federal government to treat them differently, waive the antitrust laws, and ask special favors from government." "If newspapers receive special fa- vors from the government, what's to say the government won't want fa- vors from the newspapers," Buckley said. Questions also exist about what the merge will mean to Detroit busi- nesses and their advertising costs. Kelly said advertising rates would undoubtedly increase. Buckley agreed that the daily cost of advertising would go up, but the cost per thousand persons would go down because of the increased circulation. "Advertisers will achieve a broader circulation reaching more people through one paper; however, it will be harder for them to target a specific market," he explained. The courts have approved JOAs often in the past in such cities as Miami, Columbus, Anchorage, San Fransisco and St. Louis. When the JOA was implemented in Cincinnati "prices tripled in advertising rates," said Kelly. But in some cases even after the JOA was implemented, Buckley said, the merger "failed to save the failing paper." -The Associated Press con- tributed to this report WORL;DWIDE EMPLOYMENT Summer Jobs Throughout Europe - Int'l Career Opportunities Cruise Lines - Tourist Organizations - United Nations Armed Forces - Airlines - Volunteer Work - Study Programs "THE DIRECTORY OF INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUN:TIES" America's only continuously updated guide to over 100,000 overseas job opportunities.

Bascom Ave. Suite #202, San Jose, CA 95128 IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Democrats elect party chair DETROIT - Tom Lewand was elected chair of the Michigan Demo- cratic Party yesterday, but only after some Black Democrats called his se- lection one of "plantation politics" because they weren't consulted. The faction nominated Arthur Featherstone of Detroit to run against Lewand, who was tabbed by longtime friend Gov. James Blanchard, to lead the party. Featherstone said he didn't dispute Blanchard's power to name the new party chair, but thought the Black faction should have been consulted first. His concern, said Featherstone, was that Black support was being taken for granted and that Blacks were being ignored on crucial party deci- sions. Featherstone withdrew his name from the nomination,leaving Lewand to be elected unanimously. Lewand ran for a seat on the University's Board of Regents last fall and lost. Officials confirm that Cuba had nuclear missiles', MOSCOW - A Soviet official confirmed for the first time that 20 nuclear warheads were in Cuba during the 1962 missile crisis, and a Cuban official revealed that 270,000 Soviet and Cuban troops were pre- pared for war with the United States during the same time. The revelations came during a review of the Cuban missile crisis at a conference in southwest Moscow over the weekend. The meeting was the first between American, Soviet and Cuban offi- cials to discuss the Soviet deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba and the U.S. response: a blockade of the island and a demand for the rockets' removal. American officials have said they were never sure whether any Soviet nuclear warheads had reached Cuba, but they had assumed they had. The information was provided by Jorge Risquet, member of Cuba's ruling Politburo and Deputy Soviet Foreign Minister Viktor Komplek- tov. Israel flies flag to spur talks JERUSALEM - Israel agreed yesterday to let Egypt raise its flag over the disputed Taba border area in a symbolic concession reflecting Israel's plans to return the 250-acre beach strip to Egyptian rule. Israel acceded to Egypt's request to fly its flag in an attempt to get talks moving on a few last obstacles before the land along the Red Sea is handed back, said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Alon Liel. The talks over Taba ran into trouble last week when Egyptian officials' said they would consider the land to be under Egypt's sovereignty as of yesterday, 60 days after an international arbitration panel sided with Egypt. The declaration alarmed Israeli officials, who first want to settle issues such as access for Israeli tourists and compensation for Israeli owners of two vacation resorts. The beach strip, captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war, has been a subject of dispute between the countries since 1982. Study says Superfund is too reliant on outside contractors WASHINGTON - The lagging "Superfund" program for the cleanup of toxic wastes is too reliant upon outside contractors, many of whom are making hefty profits, while government supervisors remain underpaid. understaffed and underqualified, said a congressional study released yester- day. Since the program started eight years ago, contractors have received $4 billion, or 80 to 90 percent of the Superfund money each year, said the report by the Office of Technology Assessment. The congressional agency noted that funds for the staff of the Envi- ronmental Protection Agency, which oversees the program, remained vir- tually flat while the outside spending escalated. EXTRAS Rooster picks TV's best IRVINGTON, Ky. - Dick Frymire's renowned rooster Ted disgraced himself on national television when he predicted Cincinnati to win the Super Bowl. But he's not quitting and should have his picks for the top 10 TV shows soon. Frymire will put the names of about 50 television shows in front of Ted and place a kernel of corn in front of each sign. The first grain of corn Ted eats will be his choice of the No. 1 show, with picks up to 10. This pick may work better than his Superbowl prediction, which aired on national television, on CBS' "Sunday Morning." It all started in 1984 when Frymire put his pet into a pen shaded with two old campaign posters, one of Walter Mondale, and one of Ronald Reagan. He set out some numbers and corn kernels, and asked Ted how many states Mondale would carry in the election. Ted ate the kernel in front of the number "1." Since then, Ted has predicted winners of basketball games, the Ken- tucky Derby and three Superbowl games. 01 10 r ANNOUNCES A POST-BACCALAUR EATE PR OGR AM IN LIBER AL A RTS For Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics and Physics Wayne State University is pleased to announce the establishment of a Post-Baccalau- reate Program for minority and disadvantaged students of high potential who intend to pursue doctoral study.
