The Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica — The Nicaraguan contra, weakens 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 renewing U.S. military aid for the rebels.
President Bush belitelt the leftist Nicaraguan leader as "this little man—showing up in his military uniform at a democracy meeting," and said Ortega "tooks like that unwanted

Five Central American presidents agreed Aug. 7 that the contrast should be disbanded in exchange for democratic reforms in Nicaragua. The accord called for the 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 at a pinnacle of positive change," said Dan Walter, textbook manager at Varney's Book Store, a business that dates to 1908. "There is a spirit of cooperation and success among the retail operations. The merchants are excited about it, and the people are excited about it."
Aggieville has enjoyed several positive experiences this year to account for its optimistic outlook. It is celebrating its centennial. The shopping district is in the
midst of a $1.9 million improvement project. And Aggieville appears to be holding its own with the Manhattan Town Center, a shopping mall which opened two years ago.

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."
Henry said that all majors were in demand but that an ability to communicate well was the most important quality employers were looking for.
