Contra attacks push Ortega to stop cease-fire
The Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — The Nicaragua contra, weakened by a Central American peace agreement and reduced U.S. aid, may have lost their military and political momentum but not their determination to overthrow Daniel Ortega's Sandinista government.
Ortega's plan to break off a ceasefire with the contras disrupted Costa Rica's celebration of 100 years of democracy and led President Bush to hint Saturday about the possibility of bringing U.S. military aid for the rebels.
President Bush belitled the leftist Nicaragua leader as "this little man — showing up in his military uniform at a democracy meeting," and said Ortega "tooks like that unwanted animal at a garden party."
Ortega said he was ending the 19-
th anniversary of his degree.
ragau on Feb. 25, Bush said, "The people of this hemisphere know the difference between real elections and sham elections, and the hemisphere will not settle for anything less than free and fair elections."
Five Central American presidents agreed Aug. 7 that the contra should be disbanded in exchange for democratic reforms in Nicaragua. The contra should also contrast to be voluntarily repatriated to their homeland by Dec. 8.
The contrasts, in turn, vowed not to disband quietly. They left their home bases in Honduras and began marching back into their homeland, carrying old weapons and dwindling stocks of ammunition.
"We're sure we'll be able to make sure, the Sandinistas can't live in peace," said contra army commander Israel Galeano in a late August.
Galeano said then that the rebels would launch no offensive operations

Merchants, police prepare to combat student violence
By Jim Petterson
Kansan staff writer
Law enforcement officials and business owners are hopeful that K-State's homecoming celebration won't be marred by incidents similar to the ones that have followed other recent KU-K-State football games in Manhattan.
As the KU and K-State football teams prepare for their Saturday battle in Manhattan, many Manhattan merchants and police are readying for a different kind of battle.
Aggleville, adjacent to the K-State campus, is a retail shopping area that also features several restaurants and private clubs and has been the scene of near-riots in 1984 and 1985 following the KU and K-State matchups.
After the 24-7 Wildcat victory against the Jayhawks in October 1804, Agnijeville's post-game crowd turned violent. Several students and police officers were injured, numerous arrests were made and many businesses sustained property damage.
That scene was repeated in 1986 after KU's 29-12 football loss to its cross-state rival. That time fewer people were injured in the mule but property damage escalated. A total of 41 business windows were broken, a car was overturned and burned and hundreds of broken beer bottles littered the streets of Aggieville.
"There's a difference in attitude, things have changed." Johnson said. "We just don't see that attitude we had a few years ago. Aggieville has changed. It's being rebuilt and there is a fewer number of taverns."
Johnson said 260 to 300 officers were used to patrol the Aggieville area following the 1987 KU-KState game. But, he expected to use about 1/2% of that number Saturday.
Alvan Johnson, director of the Riley County police department, said in addition to police officers from his department, officers from the KU police department, the K-State police department, the Kansas Highway Patrol and the Alcoholic Beverage Commission would be taking steps to prevent a reocurrence this year.
Juli Salberg, director of the Aggieville Business Association, said her biggest concerns about Saturday were preventing people from getting injured or throwing cans and bottles.
Fences and gates will be erected Saturday morning throughout Aggieville after K-State's homecoming parade. The gates will serve as checkpoints to stem the flow of cans and bottles into the area. Johnson said
"People get in a festive mood and start throwing stuff," Salberg said. "The fences we're putting up are not for crowd control but to control the flow of bottles and cans coming into the area."
Hey KU STUDENTS!!! Let's play it safe this weekend.
Remember: Don't
Drink and Drive.

Job scene looks OK for grads
By Stacy Smith Kansan staff writer
The job market looks fairly good for seniors graduating with degrees from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in December 1989 and May 1990, said James Henry, assistant director of the University Placement Center
"It doesn't look too bad. We've had 40 or 50 companies come to interview this fall, and we expect 60 to 70 to come in the spring," he said. "Unless something drastic happens, I expect there to be a big job market in the spring, as well."
"The employers look beyond majors. They're looking for people with communication skills," he said. "It's important how students present themselves during interviews."
Henry said that all majors were in demand but that an ability to communicate well was the most important quality employers were looking for.
Henry said a lot of the companies that had interviewed at the University were going on leave.
