Chamorro leads returns in Nicaragua
The Associated Press
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Violeta Barrios de Camorro, the steel-haired symbol of Nicaraguan democracy, took a command lead over President Daniel Ortega early today and appeared to be on the way to a stunning upset.
At 3 a.m., nine hours after the polls closed, the Supreme Electoral Council announced that Chamorro had 202,417 votes, or 54 percent, to Ortega's 159,100 votes, or 42.5 percent, with 39.6 percent of precincts reporting.
Celebrations began breaking out in various neighborhoods of Managua, with people burning many of the thousands of Sandinista banners that had been draped across Managua's streets.
Turnout was heavy in what was considered Nicaragua's freest election ever, with people living up for as much as four hours to cast ballots
With 244 of 4,394 precincts reporting, Chamoro led by 28,671, or 51 percent of the votes, to Ortega's 23,016, or 44 percent of the vote, said council head Marianio Fallios. It was unclear from what districts or how representative the early tallies were.

Outdated immunization records will force holds
By Steve Bailey
Kansan staff writer
More than 1,700 new KU students will have held places on their Fall 1990 enrollment if they have not updated their immunization records by Friday, a Watkins Memorial Health Center official said last week.
Ray Walters, Watkins assistant director, said 1,750 letters were mailed Wednesday to students who had been admitted in the Fall 1989 semester. The letters informed them of the possibility of the hold on their enrollment.
"There's no reason for students not to get this done."
Walters says, "I think they have had adequate warning."
The holds originally were to be placed on enrollment for the Spring 1990 semester, but: the program was delayed because of a problem in determining how many students were involved.
Students affected by the update program fall into two categories: Those who need the shots, and those who

Official says sanctions don't help

TOPEKA — A South African official told an audience at the State Capitol yesterday that in order to truly understand the situation in his country they had to go there.
"It is better to see a thing once than to hear about it 100 times," said Horace van Rensburg, political counselor for the South African Embassy. His visit was an activity in recognition of Black history month.
He said South Africa was following a program designed to end aparthied.
The goal, van Rensburg said, was to achieve a society free from segregation. The next step in the program is to write a new constitution.
"South Africa is proceeding fairly successfully through a program of fundamental social and economic reform," he said.
"In 1986 the United States named near destroy my life's work," he said. "Sanctions have not worked. They have only delayed the reform process. They nearly destroyed it at one time."
But van Rensburg said that by leveling sanctions against South Africa, America endangered the people which he was deeply involved.
He said it would take five to 10 years to complete a new constitution.
"What we really have to do is gain the confidence of minorities that they are safe," he said.
Van Rensburg said he spent more than two years polling and speaking with Black South Africa politicians who him the sanctions did not work.
Van Rensburg argued that industrial development was at the heart of the city's growth, bringing the races and tribes together in the cities and townships. By cutting aid to South Africa, the United States made the problem with poverty and hunger worse.
He said South Africa and other African nations all were Third World countries that lagged behind in technological development. But he says they need the jobs provided by industrial development to survive.
"In the Third World every person supports 10 other people," he said. "The modern industrial, technological race is way ahead, but we are not ready to help Africa catch up, or they will see it go down the drain forever."
Van Rensburg also said the United States did not understand the resentment of South Africa toward U.S. sanctions.
Al Parks, representative of Black Voice of the Pians, said, "There is no way under the sun that you can convince me that sanctions don't work."
Lending KUIDs not illegal, police say

Lending and borrowing KUIDs for the purpose of entering a KU sportier is not illegal. Lt. John Mullein of the KU police said yesterday.
Christine Kenney, Douglas County assistant district attorney, said that six people who were cited for贷存 or borrowing KUIDs at recent Kansas home basketball games would not have to appear in court.
According to article 13 in a Kansas statute dealing with non-drivers' identification card laws, it is unlawful for someone to lend any identification card to any other person or knowingly permit its use by another person. It also is unlawful for someone to display any identification not issued to the person as belonging to the person.
Mullens the statute pertained to official state IDs but not KUIDs.
Kenney said the district attorney's office initially had suggested that police use that statute in citing individuals.
The statute states that the law governs only the use of IDs resembling a state driver's license.
so harvardy, director of Legal Services for Students, said she received phone calls early last week from a few students who were issued notices to appear in court.
Hardesty said she contacted someone at the attorney general's office about the matter. The person was unable to find any statute under which the exchange of KUIDs was illegal.

New policy forces students to give up KUIDs if they want back in field house
By a Kansan reporter
Students who temporarily want to leave Allen Field House after gaining entrance to basketball in the KIDUs if they want to get back in, said Floyd Temple, assistant athletic director for facilities.
Temple said a new policy was implemented Saturday at the Kansas basketball game against Kansas State. The policy forced students who wanted to leave the field house and return to leave their KUIDs at the door rather than get their hands stamped, which was the previous procedure.
Temple said the policy was implemented to reduce overcrowding at games. It was also to decrease the number of cases where students left the game and gave their KUDAs to non-students, allowing them to get into the
game.
Lt. John Mullens of the KU police said the policy of stamping students' hands allowed the people to leave, give their KUIDS away to non-students and then get back in by showing the stamp on their hands.
Temple said that when students lent their KUIDs, they often were giving them to people who had bought student tickets from sources other than the Athletic Department. This causes the department to lose ticket sales at the gate because the people buy from students and not the department.
"The more successful you are, the more people you have trying to get into the game." Temple said.
The new procedure would slow unauthorized ticket sales considerably, he said.
lation to make illegal the lending and borrowing of KUIDs by non-owners for the purpose of getting into an athletic event.
He said that although it was not illegal to lend and borrow KUIDs, people who worked at the door still could deny access to students using someone else's KUID.
Mullens said the officer who issued the citations didn't know that the statute didn't apply to the exchange
of KUIDs.
He said people were cited as the result of an investigation into an increasing number of stolen and lost KUIDs.
"We got word that people were selling student tickets," Mullens said. "The big question was: Where are the IDs coming from? We were wondering if we didn't have someone out there who has a large quantity of ID cards."

After two days of discussions regarding delicate issues of a unified Germany, Kohl said he recognized
There have been fears in Poland, which had been decimated by the Nazis in World War II, that a unified Germany would seek to regain border territory that was formerly under German rule.
"Neutralism would be a very false solution for us," said Kohl, adding that he did not expect that the Ger-ber administration support a ma- away from NATO.
Bush pointedly said that the United States regards the current European borders, including Germany's long border with Poland, as inviolable. He also argued that question would be settled by a free elected all-German government.
Nonetheless, Bush and Kohl both said they saw no need to add Poland to the group of four nations that support the application with the two German states.
Unification talks between East and West Germany are to begin after East German elections on March 18.

Soviets rally for political reforms
MOSCOW — Hundreds of thousands of Soviets rallyed for democracy in more than 30 cities yesterday, despite official warnings that the Soviet Union's first nationwide protest could explode in violence.
Riot police dragged away people who tried to hold an unsanctioned demonstration in Leningrad.
Estimates of the number of protesters in Moscow varied widely, from 200,000 reported by the official press agency Novosti, which had a view of the rally site in Moscow, to a half-million reported by protest organizers.
Reports from police, local activists interviewed by telephone and state-run media indicated as many as 276,000 people took part in protest rallies in 32 cities outside Moscow.
With banners, placards and flags, the demonstrators demanded democratic reforms
