Militant Moldavians attack Romanian border checkpoints
Thousands of ethnic Moldavians attacked checkpoints on the frontier with Romania yesterday, vowing to "wipe border posts off the frontier" the official Soviet news agency Tass reported.
The militants, who seek closer ties to Romania, threatened to kill border guardians and their families until the Kremlin withdraws troops and takes up the role to keep an aide of emergency, Tass said.
Revised SAT will let students use calculators in spring 1994
College Board trustees announced yesterday the most sweeping changes ever in the Scholastic Aptitude Test but rejected suggestions that charges of cultural bias prompted the revisions.
Tass did not mention any casualties. It said the militants threw stones and set fire to a fence but relinquished control of the two checkpoints after speaking with Moldavian leaders.
The new Scholastic Aptitude Test, called SAT-I, will be introduced in the spring of 1994, said College Board President Donald M. Stewart.
It will include less reliance on multiple choice in the math section and more emphasis on the skills needed for problem-solving.
The revisions, aimed in part at reducing students' reliance on test coaches, also will allow students to use calculators on the math board; Stewart said at the board's annual meeting.
Critics have long charged that the SAT was based, particularly against women and minorities.
Poland, Germany negotiate treaty to verify present border
Polish and German negotiators agreed yesterday on a treaty confirming their present border on the Oder and Neisse rivers, a pact that would end uncertainty dating to World War II.
The text was hammered out by working
Warsaw Pact nations to end military alliance, official says
BUDAPEST, Hungary – After menacing the West with Soviet-led military might for more than three decades, the Warsaw Pact reportedly will cease to exist as a military alliance next year.
The Associated Press
A senior Hungarian official said yesterday that the six-nation alliance would end joint military maneuvers in December and would stop operating as a military alliance in June.
Thereafter, the Warsaw Pact would function "only as a political forum," he added. The official, who spoke to selected reporters on a condition of anonymity, gave no further details.
The Warsaw Pact was formed in 1956 in the early years of the Cold War as a Soviet response to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally comprised of the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and Poland, the alliance was reduced to seven members after Albania withdrew in 1968.
The pact began to lose cohesion with the start of liberalization within the Soviet Union. That led to the advent of democracy in East Europe last year and a further weakening of the alliance, which was
reduced to six members with the unification of Germany.
At nearly completed conventional arms talks with the 16-nation NATO, Warsaw Pact members are basically negotiating as individual countries and are working in close negotiations closer to those of the West than to Moscow.
By late October, more than had no troops left, a state news agency reported.
The Kremlin is withdrawing its forces from several former satellites, including Hungary, which was among the East bloc nations that ousted the Communist Party last year.
Col. Anatoli Kirilov, deputy commander of the Soviet troops in Hungary, said yesterday that all his soldiers would be out of the country by June 30, as scheduled under an agreement signed in March. By late October, more than half the 50,000 Soviet troops had left, a state news agency reported
Hungary announced earlier it would leave the military arm of the Warsaw Pact next year unless the military functions ceased. Last week, Czechoslovak President Vachaíl the pact's leader was abolished and into a body with a consultative political function, the Czechoslovak state news agency said.
Sudanese police force refugees out of shantytown near capital
The Associated Press
KHARTOUM, Sudan — Police drove 14,000 displaced people out of a shantytown and burned their makeshift hovels to ensure they do not return, witnesses said yesterday.
animist residents of the region are persecuted by the central government of the north, where the population is Muslim. War has been raging in the south for seven years.
The displaced people, who fled war and famine in southern Sudan, have been moved to a camp in Jabal Awlia, about 25 miles south of Khartoum. Their movements can be controlled more easily there because they have to pass checkpoints to go to the capital.
Although the government says 80 percent of the facilities in the new camp are finished, witnesses
When the military government decided to dismantle the camps last year, the three southerners on the ruling 15-man revolutionary command council protested.
Witnesses said the evacuation of the Bentu camp started Saturday evening and ended Tuesday. They said smoke could still be seen yesterday in the camp that police burned after the evacuation.
There were no reports of violence being

Troupe to present native dance at KU
Kansan staff writer
By Jamie Elliott
The performance will be the closing event of the second annual Lawrence Indian Art Show, sponsored by the KU Museum of Anthropology, Haskell Indian Junior College and the Lawrence Arts Center.
The sights and sounds of authentic Indian costumes, singing and dancing will fill Hofo Auditorium on Saturday night as the American Indian Dance Theater visits Lawrence for the first time.
"It is a real pleasure for us to be involved," Davis said. "We were really pleased to be a part of it. For us, to present these events in a cultural context is very important so that people get more out of it than just one performance — they get to experience something of a culture."
Jacqueline Davis, director of the KU Concert Series, said this was the first year the Concert Series had involved with the Indian Art Show.

dance theater, said expression of culture was an important factor in the presentation.
"We want to represent a balance of styles and forms and functions in our show," he said. "We want to present dances in our program that have an intricate theatricality and important cultural aspect."
The dances performed by the group all are authentic and represent a variety of different Native American cultures. The dances came from different regions
Gugomah said that the dances were arranged in suites — a group of dances representing the theme. The KU performance will feature the

Diversity of bowlers strike Lawrence lanes

Kansan staff writer
No longer the domain of punchny men wearing monogrammed wing-collar shirts and plaid polyester pants, bowling is gaining acceptance as an inexpensive, challenging way to have fun.
Royal Crest Lanes is at Ninth and Iowa streets, in the Hillcrest Shopping Center. Royal Lanes is at 3300 Iowa St., but students do not have to venture off campus to find a place to bowl.
"We have quite a lot of students bowl," said Bill Graves, general manager of Royal Crest and Royal Lions Club. "They're just happy to enjoy a good type."
Lawrence's three bowling alleys — Jaybowl, Royal Crest Lanes and Royal Lanes — offer lots of lanes, those beautiful two-tone bowling shoes and plenty of good times for bowlers.
Twelve sections of HPER 108 bowling class, as well as faculty, staff and student leagues use the Jaybowl team also practice there.

On the first floor of the Kansas Union, Jaybowl has had higher attendance recently than ever before.

Ray McLaughlin, manager of the Royal Bowling Lanes, said different types of people were bowling.
"We see everybody," McLaughlin said. "Quite a few students come in, and a lot of them are real good."
Shoe rental at Royal and Royal Crest Lanes is 85 cents, and each game is $2. Royal Crest also offers a full-service Mexican restaurant and a full-service Mexican restaurant.
