MOSCOW (AP): Reformer wins Russian presidency.
Populist reformer Boris N. Yeltsin won the presidency of the largest
Soviet republic Tuesday, overcoming opposition by Mikhail S.
Gorbachev and declaring the start of “Russia’s social, economic and
spiritual rebirth." Yeltsin’s election, after three hard-fought ballots in
the Congress of People’s Deputies of the Russian Federation, poses a
substantial challenge to Gorbachev and may spur more radical
reforms across the country. Gorbachev, who arrives Wednesday in
Washington for a summit, retains the two most powerful jobs in the
country: president of the Soviet Union and General Secretary of the
Soviet Communist Party. But as president of Russia, the largest of 15
Soviet republics, Yeltsin will have a highly visible platform from
which to wage his campaign for more radical reforms. Yeltsin and
other Soviet officials said his election could help Gorbachev, despite
their differences
PARIS (AP): Gov’t minister suggests disarming police.
Evoking the image of London's bobbies, interior minister Pierre Joxe
suggested Monday that most French police officers do not need to
carry guns. Joxe ignited the controversy Monday with a spontaneous
comment during a discussion about proposed legislation affecting
France’s 10,000 municipal police. Joxe said he not only agreed with a
proposal to disarm these officers, but also believed that a vast
majority of the 120,000 members of the national police force had no
need to carry arms. To back his argument, Joxe cited the example of
London, where only 2,552 of the 26,800 police officers are authorized
to carry guns. All major police unions responded to the comments
with surprise and alarm. “When the crooks have learned English fair
play, then maybe well see,” said a spokesman for a union of
detectives.

Acting up in the ’90s
Decade of greed may end up like bonfire ashes
By A1 DIXON
CirttrJt Tg
They called the ’80s the "Me De
cade * but increased rtuder.t m-
voi terser.: has :ed many to beBeve
the 199C* could become the -We
Decade *
"It's toe early to uB if the "90s
will eve up to the title of the 'We
Decade.' ' said eociolagy professor
E M Beck -But I have observed a
definite mend in the return to stu
dent scutum
“Part of the reason for the de
crease in student activism in the
80s was that the issue* of the
tines were not as clear cut as they
were in the '60s and early "70s with
the Vietnam War and racism,* he
said.
However, 3eck said the urgency
of current environmental problems
is aiso becoming dear to the public,
and he predicted that students in
the next decade will rally more fre
quently sround issues concerning
the environment
“The environmental issue is to
the '90s as the Vietnam War was to
the '60s,* he said. "When people
from different areas of the country
share a common problem such as
the current danger to the environ
ment, they tend to unite to eolve
it-’
The viably increased student in
volvement in local and student-nun
ergani xenons serves as evidence to
support Beck's predictions of this
■unity.
Ar.dy Miller, president of Stu
dents for Environmental Aware
ness, said he sees a significant
increase in concern for the environ
ment.
“I think we are experiencing an
increase in student involvement
due mainly to a general increase in
awareness among the students,’
he said.
Since he .wired the organization
two years ago, the number of active
members has more than doubled,
Miller said.
"I think more people are be
coming concerned about environ
mental issues because they have
no other choice," he said. "We’re a:
an ultimatum.’
Not only are students showing
concern. Miller said they’re also
willing to back up their words with
actions.
The active members of SEA are
willing to go beyond just talking
about what needs to be done
They want to do more than just
make donations and wear T-
shirts,’ he said
Ange.a Burton, program adviser
for Communiversity, a student vol
unteer organization, shares
Miller’s enthusiasm for the possi
bility of increased student activism
in the 1990s.
Communiversity sponsors such
programs as Big Brother Big Sister
and Adopt- A -Gran d pare r. t The
group has about 650 active volun
teers.
Burton first joined Comou-
niversity in 1972 when it had 75
members.
She said the organization looks
for an even greater increase in the
number cf student volunteers, and
she emphasized that with the re
cent federal cutbacks in soda! pro
grams, there is a real need for
volunteers to fill the gaps that are
opening up.
"Students are beginning to re
alize that nothing's going to get
done unless they do it," she said
Burton also said recent increase
in volunteer work is evident. On
the organizational and the indi
vidual level there have been visible
increases, he said.
"More and more groups are
looking to add the component of
community service to their pro
grams*
Burton cited groups such as fra
ternities, sororities and residence
hall associations as examples of
the increased interest in doing
community service.
"Although Greek organizations
have always been known for their
service to the community," she
said, "the focus of their service has
shifted from fund raisers to actual
community service work.
In order to really understand
the problems that need to be dealt
with, you have to get out there and
get vour hands dirty.
"The eighties were the decade of
awareness,' she said, “and hope
fully the nineties will be the decade
of action."
