"Every man and woman of this country," he said, "sure we will carry out completely the constitution, any firemen in the constitution," Pinochet said in a speech broadcast Tuesday.
It was his first public declaration since a resounding loss in Wednesday's referendum to extend his rule to 1997.

By midmorning, small groups of students had gathered in Santiago's streets and enthusiastically chanted anti-Pinoche slogans.
Initial police action to disperse the youngsters angered bystanders and only attracted more participation in the shootings as striders had spilled onto the city's main eight-lane boulevard, jamming traffic as they shouted, "Go away," and "Shut up."

Although overall minority enrollment at the University of Kansas was 67%, the department has declined for the second consecutive year, according to statistics released yesterday by University Rela-

A downward national trend of
black enrollment has befallen many public universities over the last 10 years, according to OneID's national study released this year.
Keil Paris, Omaha, Neb. junior and president of Black Student Union, said KU's black enrollment a national trend had more than a national trend.
"Blacks have a bad image of the University of Kansas," she said. "KU will have to attack us." If I were an incoming freshman and I saw
that Ku Klux Klan episode last spring, I'd think twice about coming to KU."
Brinkman said the KU administration had initiated programs, such as increased scholarships, to attract minority students.
Other minority figures were more encouraging.
Asian-American enrollment increased from 380 in 1976 to 415 this year. American Indian enrollment increased from 106 last year to 148 this year, the largest increase for any minority group.
And Hispanic enrollment is 359 this year, compared to 338 last year.
The number of Hispanics in contact to KU increased about 6 percent from 31 to 40, and panic enrollment has increased at 44 percent over the last five years.
Last year's increase was partly because of a state-wide symposium on Oct. 21 which brought Hispanics to the KU campus, said Eladio Valdez III, president of the Leadership Organization.
"The symposium brought in hispanic role models in different careers, broadcasting and government," said Valdez, Kansas City, Kan., junior "According to the symposium evaluations the team had filled many of them to come to KU because of the event."
This year's Hispanic workshop will be held at Emporia State University Oct. 26.
American Indian enrollment increased the most of any group. Of 40 percent more American Indians attend KU this year than

Census recount to be taken Residence halls will be focus of the survey
By Deb Gruver Kansas staff writer
The Kansas secretary of state's office announced yesterday that a state congress will be done in the fall.
Brad Bryant, director of the Kansas census, said yesterday that census cards and instructions on how to complete the forms should be distributed to KU residence balls today.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, State Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Lawrence, and State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, asked Secretary of State Bill Graves for a recount because they said the amendment was unconstitutional.
president's amendment to the Kansas Constitution doesn't allow a county to declare students or military personnel as permanent residents unless they listed those counties as their permanent homes.
historic site.
When the first census was taken last spring, the residence status of students living on campus was lowered.

"We were looking for a fast way to accommodate their work," Bryant said. "Resident assistants are already state employees, so we thought that that was the quickest way of getting the information."
State law requires that the secretary of state report congress futures to the legislature by Nov. 1.
state reasons.
"First of all, we think the law not counting students in public halls is unconstitutional." Winter said. "And the way the census was conducted is questionable. They did not consult voter registration records at all."
Winter said that they had requested the recount for two basic reasons.
My view is that voter registration records are
conclusive evidence of where that person should be counted." Winter said.
He said that he be was pleased with the decision to have a recount, but in a letter to Graves dated yesterday, he said, "I am not going to go into it."
Because students in residence halls were not counted in the first census, Winter said that their political interests were limited.
- voter registration records, counting all students as living in the precinct in which they are registered to vote.
- recount students living at Haskell Indian Junior College.
Chris McKenzie, Douglas County administrator, said that he thought the recount was the minimum that should be given.
all precincts which have a heavy concentration of students.
He said that the county is considering a lawsuit against the state to fight the constitutionality of the law. The county commission earlier pledged $10,000 to finance the litigation.
"I applaud them for doing it but I think they should do more," McKenzie said.
"We are approaching this on a collective basis," McKeenie said. "We should know within month if we need to sun up."
Bryant said that he could understand the point of view for a lawsuits because of the law but not because of the torts.
"They are saying that the law is wrong and unfair." Bryant said. "I can understand a disagreement with the law, but not with the census. We think the census was fair."
No taxes on bonds approved
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate yesterday seized one of the most popular issues of the press and announced it would vote, approve a tax exemption for interest on U.S. savings bonds that are used to finance college education.
Wading into two even bigger issues - taxes and drugs - the Senate for the time being refused to raise taxes on cigarettes and alcohol to help pay for a $2.6 billion bipartisan antidrug bill.
The amendment is likely to come up again next week
working on the scenery yesterday. The play will begin Oct. 22 at Crafton-Preyer Theatre.
The action came as the Senate worked on a bill whose main purpose is to correct errors and misinformations in the 1866 tax overhaul.
A 60-33 vote killed the amendment by Sen. Warren Rudman, RN.H., that would have raised the 16-cent cigarette tax by 2 cents and added 5 cents to the price of wine and 30 cents to a fifth of liquor.
Missing the mark
Senators stretch truth on debate topic
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Both sides were waging fingersygers yesterday after the vice presidential debate on Wednesday, the Republicans said we Loyd Bentzens "distortions" and what the Democrats call Dan Quayle's "fictional mistakes."
In less polite parlance, that means lies on such subjects as Social Security, crime, drugs, poverty and just plain quibble. Most European leaders.
Here is a look at some of the points they were arguing about:
Quayle said, "Poverty hasn't gone up in this administration. It hasn't gone down much either."
Poverty
According to the Census Bureau, 13 percent of the U.S. population, were living in poverty, and 28 percent, 33.4 million, 31.8 million people, in 1981, Reagan's first year in office; peaked at 15.2 percent or 33.3 million in 1983; then gradually dropped back to 13.5 percent in 1987, the highest year available.
Measured since 1980, the poverty rate is up by one-half percentage point, measured since 1981, it is down by that much. In either case the actual number of poor people is up because population has grown.
Social Security
When Benten charged that Quarry "voted eight times to cut the benefits on Social Security," the Republican snapped, "You know that I did not vote to cut Social Security benefits and what and what Sen. Benten has voted for is to delay the cost-of-living adjustments."
He said that Bentzen, too, had twice voted for budget freezes and that Michael Dukaiks took a similar position at a governors' conference.
Mark Geran, a Dukai's spokesman, did not dispute those votes but said Quayle's response showed "he doesn't understand that freezing or delaying the COLA cuts benefits. The bottom line is smaller checks."

Rise of assault rumors scares campus women
By Jay A. Cohen
By Jay Ar SCM
Kansan staff writer
An unusually high number of rumors concerning sexual assaults in the GSP-Corbin area, and the resulting fear felt by the residents and their parents, have prompted house officials to take action.
In an attempt to ease residents' anxiety and slow the spread of rumors, an information she展 detailed in a book assails occulting on campus this semester was distributed yesterday as part of a lecture Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall.
"There have been myriad unbounded learners on a couple of courses in the department, director of residential programs. "We just want people to look at it and learn."
KU police spokesman LJ Leanne Longaker said one rabid had been reported in the GSP-Baron area on July 4, and was still under investigation.
Longaker said while a few rumors were a normal occurrence, especially in the beginning of a semester, a group of students with cancer since the rape had been reported.
"I think it's really weird that the housing administration waited this long to tell us," said Jodi Hunt, Overland Park sophorean and GSP-Corbin resident. The rumors have been going around all week, a half week. I think the only reason it came out is a lot of people's parents started getting worried.
"I understand their wanting to
protect the victim's identity. They
wouldn't need to tell us her name,
but she was an expert in the
situation we should have been told," she said.
a woman reported as having been physically assaulted near Memorial Stadium on Sept. 28th. A UA police officer responded, the report may be questionable.
The Douglas County Rape Victim Support and KU police representatives both held meetings at the hall where the victims met their respective services to students.
In addition to the one reported rape, other incidents noted on the information sheet include:
a woman reported as having been assaulted on Sept. 27 on Memorial Drive, after telling the man an arrest had been made him. An arrest was made date him.
a woman reported as having been grabbed by the arm in the GBP-Corp parking lot on Sept. 24. She pulled her arm free and ran to the building. three separate reports of voyeurism on Sept. 18, Oct. 3 and 4.
Longaker and McElhene both said this was not an unusual number of such occurrences.
Marty Wall, Parkville, Mo. graduate student and member of the GSP-Corbin security staff, said no incidents had occurred within the building. He said a fifth security position had been assigned to him, which would enable them to increase their patrols around the outside of the buildings.
