Solidarity, religion changed E. Europe
By Carol B. Shinley
Kessan staff writer
Several factors played roles in the recent changes in Eastern Europe, a panel of KU professors and graduate students said yesterday at the Kansas Union.
The panel of five discussed how Solidarity, religion and students in East Germany may have affected the recent changes. About 50 people attended the discussion, which was sponsored by the German and Slavic clubs.
Harley Wagler, Partridge graduate student, said religion gave the

tatter. Wagler said that while interest in Marxist Leninism declined, religious nationalism surged.
"I find it interesting to see that there is a revival of religious interest in these countries at the same time that they are becoming disinterested in communism," he said.
Heinrich Stammier, professor emeritus of Soviet and East European studies, agreed that religion had surged in Eastern Europe.

"One of the first things I did was to visit a church," he said. "To my greatest surprise — I should say joyous surprise — the churches were full."
from 1987 to 1942, recently took a trip to Bulgaria.
stammer said going to church was a way for people to show that they were not 100 percent communist. The church is important in their lives now, and churchgoers have experienced a change in attitude.
"There was a great amount of concentration, devotion, devoutness," he said. "And that, in the good sense, was in Bulgaria, was not the case."
Emil Wengagst, graduate student in political science, said the role of students in East Germany did not affect the recent changes.
Wagegast said that when he was studying in Leipzig, East Germany, any students who became involved in the war wouldn't be students much longer.
"That effectively cut off anybody rising up as a leader of students," he said.
Wagengat said the universities in East Germany were conservative.
Mark Dobek, Lawrence graduate student in political science, said Solidarity helped organize the frustrations of people in Poland, enabling them to topple communism.
He said that after World War II many attempts to bring communism down failed because of a lack of organization.
"What I think was important in 1980 when Solidarity was formed, that was there was some form of organization," Dobek said.
However, he said that Solidarity was in a period of transition and would change.
Bill would make some abortions illegal
By a Kansan reporter
A bill that would make late-term abortions illegal was introduced in the Senate on Wednesday by State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence.
Winter said the bill defined viability of a fetus as being able to survive outside the womb.
The bill would make aborting a fetus illegal if a physician, after a series of tests, declared the fetus viable. It would not compel women to submit to viability tests but would leave the decisions to test to physicians.
The bill would allow a fetus to be aborted if the woman's life were in danger or if the fetus were found to have severe abnormalities, he said.
Winter said that a former Kansas statute had required three doctors to declare an abortion necessary before one could be performed. But the Roe vs. Wade decision made the law invalid.
"I do not think it should be lawful to terminate pregnancy in its late stages," Winter said yesterday. "I do believe we need some state policy on whether a woman can have an abortion when she is eight months pregnant, and I think that policy should be no."
Stephen Ternes, president of KU Students for Life, agreed.
"Our group certainly would support any act that makes any type of abortion illegal," he said.
But Beth Watson of the KU Pro- Choice Coalition said she opposed the measure.
Caribbean needs identity, prof says
Kansan staff writer
By Mark McHugh
Caribbean culture has been overshadowed by its American neighbors and European counterparts, a visiting professor said last night.
"We are undergoing American influence, while at the same time we are trying to resist it," she said. "The Caribbean is one of the most diverse and powerful regions of the Caribbean."
Mervyn Alleeine, Langston Hughes professor of African and African-American studies, told an audience of about 60 people that Caribbean countries struggled to find their cultural identity.
He said that it was the ultimate insult to have one's country be placed last in the three categories of the global village.
"They're not quite out of the colonial yolk yet," Gordon said.
"When you are third out of three, you are, to put it bluntly, last." Alleyne said.
Neville Brown of Lawrence, a native of Kingston, Jamaica, said U.S. citizens were indifferent to the countries surrounding them.
He said he once met a teenager in Lawrence that did not know that Jamaica existed.
"I was shocked to see that kids never even heard of Jamaica." Brown said.
