New names for Soviet Union proposed in Kremlin debate
Three new names were proposed yesterday for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, including two that do away with the word "Soviet."
In a parliamentary debate on the union treaty that is being drawn up between the Kremlin and the 15 Soviet republics, these names were proposed: the Union of Sovereign Socialist States; the Union of Soviet Sovereign Republics; and the Union of Euro-Asian Republics.
Rafik Nishanov, chairperson of one of the Supreme Soviet's two chambers and an ethnic Chinese, said.
The Israeli army yesterday tore down more Arab shops and houses in the Gaza Strip's Burei refuge camp where a soldier was killed last week.

Palestinian journalists said that about seven bulldozers, backed by 25 army trucks, were still destroying buildings after dark yesterday. The US news agency and Israel TV carried similar reports.
Builders leveled 15 buildings in Burei on Monday night before a temporary restraint on one building.

WASHINGTON The Senate yesterday ordered the Supreme Court to grant treaties drafted during the deaths of the Cold War leaders.
The treaties, intended as a first step toward slowing the race to develop ever larger nuclear weapons.

But the verification procedures, which provide for on-site inspection teams fielded by both sides, may become important precedents for more ambitious treaties to come, supporters said.
Consent to ratification of the 1974 Threshold Test Ban Treaty and the 1976 Peaceful Nuclear Explosion Ban Treaty.
The Carter administration wanted a comprehensive test ban rather than a limitation. The Reagan administration held them up because it believed the United States would be unable to verify Soviet compliance, and charged that Moscow had violated the ceiling on at least two dozen occasions.
The treaties, which limit underground explosions to 150 kilotons or less, were drafted during the Nixon and Ford administrations but were held up by Congress about whether they could adequately be verified.
Those doubts were largely erased by a new set of verification rules agreed to by Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev on June 1 during their Washington summit meeting. The verification rules, in many ways, are more important than the testing limits imposed by the treaty.
The treaties lag far behind current arms control reality, which contemplates massive reductions in the U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals and sharp cuts in conventional forces.
The TTBT puts a ceiling of 150 kilotons on the size of weapons tests and provides detailed procedures to ensure that the other side can accurately measure yields.
The PNET places identical limits on nuclear blasts for peaceful purposes, such as seismic exploration or excavation. The United States has a permanent nuclear weapons repository in 1973, and the Soviets ceased such blasts in 1988.

have gone up a little and the bakery, once open 24 hours, is now closed from 2 to 6 a.m. Other than that, Joe's today is much as it used to be in the 1950s.
"I think it's the tradition that has made us so popular," Smith said. "We've been around a long time. We have kids who come back every year, and we know when they went to KU. That means a lot."
Joe's is closed each summer. Smith said the three months of gave him and his wife a much-needed annual vacation, for Joe's it was always packed during the rest of the year.
On especially busy nights, Smith uses up to 200 pounds of flour, which makes about 300 pounds of dough. And that makes a whole lot of donuts. Smith does not have time to count exactly how many because there is always a fresh supply of muffins, sweet rolls, croissants and sandwiches to be made as well.
Alie Lauf, Belleville, III, sophomore,
or n.e.g. night at Joe's. She said most
business is done in the office.
"The atmosphere is what makes Joe's what it is," she said. "Even though it's not an eat-in place, it's got quite a reputation. Joe's is something of a legend, I guess."
Larry Doan, who also works at Joe's
agreed.
"We're definitely the hot spot in town," he said. "We stay busy, that's for sure." And we were so excited.
Employees at Joe's said that after making seemingly endless trays of hot pastries with the overpowering smell of drying dumplings in the air, they did not have to worry about the amount of the merchandise. But that does not mean that they do not enjoy what they do.
In the diverse crowd that comes to Joe's, Lauf said two types of people most amused her: KU freshmen who are astonished that bakery employees add up price totals without ringing up the cash register and calorie-conscious women who order a donut hole and a Diet Coke when they're actually dying for a dozen jelly desserts.
"I guess I just love donuts," Smith said.
"I'm glad so many other people do too. As long as people keep wanting donuts, we'll probably be here."
It is ten minutes after 2 a.m. Smith has wiped his hands free of flour, folded his apron and gone home. It is silent again save for the low hum of the neon sign above the bakery. But in a mere four hours, Joe's Bakery will reopen and the line of hungry customers will bring Ninth Street to life again.
