Krenz ousts 'old guard in I. Germ. BERLIN (AP) - Communist Party chief Egon Krenz yesterday ousted the old guard from the ruling Politburo and replaced them with re- formers in a desperate move to quell widespread unrest and strengthen his three-week-old leadership. Thousands of East Germans disil- usioned by 40 years of Communist rule and skeptical of promised reforms continued to flood from their homeland, with more than 50,000 reaching West Germany since Satur- day. Pro-reform groups pleaded with their citizens to stay and help "build areal democratic society." Krenz hurled a stinging attack at his predecessor and long-time politi- al patron Erich Honecker, and communist authorities took the first steps toward registering New forum, the nation's largest pro-democracy group. And in another first, a top Communist held out the possibility of free elections, a major demand of those who have demonstrated for democracy. "Our country is going through a nse and extremely difficult devel- opment," Krenz said in a speech to the Central committee, which unan- imously approved his proposal to dissolve the entire 21-member Politburo. The Central committee an- nounced the election of a new 11- member Politburo and reaffirmed Krenz, 52, as the party's secretary eneral. Krenz and six other W4olitburo members were re-elected. The committee elevated four new members to the Politburo, the na- tion's most powerful decision-mak- ing body. They included Hans Modrow, the 61-year-old Dresden party chief who is said to be a lead- ing advocate for democratic reform.

The Soviet Union said earlier this year it had stopped shipping arms to Nicaragua, but Paul Wolfowitz, a U.S. Defense Department undersecretary, said last week other Soviet bloc nations and Cuba continued sending weapons. President Daniel Ortega told a news conference his decision last week to end cease-fire after 19 months has opened the way to peace between the Sandinistas government and the U.S.-supported rebels. He said Nicaragua would forgo arms imports until April 25, 1990, if the 15-point plan was accepted. Yesterday, President Bush promised to lift the trade embargo against Nicaragua if the U.S.-backed presidential candidate, Violeta Chamorro, defeats Ortega in elections set for Feb. 25. His statement came after a Washington meeting in which Mrs. Chamorro asked Bush for aid to help with economic reconstruction after the election and the two agreed on the need to muster international support for fair elections, according to U.S. and Nicaraguan participants. In their proposal yesterday, the Sandinistas urged that the United States divert to demobilization what remains of $49 million in non-lethal aid to the Contras authorized by Congress in March. The aid includes such items as boots, tents and uniforms. The 12,000 rebels, some in Nicaragua and most camped in neighboring Honduras, are to be disbanded by early December under the regional peace agreement signed Aug. 7 by Ortega and the presidents of Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. "If the Contras don't accept this plan, they will be voting for war," Ortega said in apparent reference to the cease-fire cancellation and fighting reported since. He said he would demand a meeting of the Central American presidents to discuss the situation if the Contras rejected his proposals.

I Y 9 1 Popadiuk said the Bush administra- tion hoped the shakeup "is a step on the road to stable and evolutionary reform." All of the aging Politburo members were closely associated with Honecker, whom Krenz replaced Oct. 18. They include ideology chief Kurt Hager; Erich Miekle, head of the dreaded security apparatus; Parliment Speaker Horst Sinderman; and former Parliment speaker Willi Stoph.

Weeend University Council co-chair opposes President's advisory committee by Kristine LaLonde Administration Reporter University Council co-chair Corey Dolgan said he will ask the council to send a letter to University President James Duderstadt complain- ing that the President bypassed the council in seeking input for the interim anti-harassment policy. Dolgan, a Rackham graduate student, said the council is the proper body to review the harass- ment policy. He added that the President should have noti- fied the council of his decision to form an advi- sory committee even if he did not intend to use the council. "At least the President could have consulted the council. No one on the council knew about this, not even the administrators," Dolgan said. "At best, it's a faux pas; at worst, it's a blatant disregard of 7.02." The University's Board of Regents set up the council with regental bylaw 7.02 to review pro- posed conduct policies and set up guidelines to implement these policies. The council is made up of three students, three administrators, and three faculty members. Duderstadt appointed an advisory committee - which includes student, staff, and faculty members - to make suggestions on the harass- ment policy rather than using the council for the same purpose. "I asked the council to consider a letter com- plaining about the President's process in choos- ing an advisory committee," Dolgan said. "The 7.02 process is still in existence and should be followed... I think everyone on the council feels this process has been bypassed." Council co-chair Jens Zorn, a physics profes- sor, was out of town and could not be reached for comment on the proposed letter. Shirley Clarkson, assistant to the president, said Duderstadt did not use the council for fear that the body would be bogged down with work and not be able to complete its other duties. The council is currently facing a December deadline from the regents to prove its productiv- ity. The regents assigned the council to the task of proposing implementation guidelines on the free speech and protest policy; the future of the council depends on completion of this task. "We didn't want to undermine their ability to meet their charge from the regents," Clarkson said. Council member Harry McLaughlin, the physical education academic services director, said many of the council members wanted to review the policy's progression ,McLaughlin said he didn't understand why Dolgan was surprised that the President chose not to use the council for formal input into the anti- harassment policy.
