Nation/World University Daily Kansan / Friday, February 2, 1990 7 Hakim gets fine, probation for his part in Iran-Contra The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Iran-Contra middleman Albert Hakim was placed on two years probation and fined $5,000 yesterday after giving up his claim on what prosecutors said was $7.3 million in arms-deal profits now frozen in Swiss accounts. The Iranian-born businessman, who pleaded guilty Nov. 21 to ileg- ally helping supplement Oliver North's government income with a $13,800 home security system, bitterly attacked the government after his sentencing. "I have been abused by two presidents," Hakim said after his appearance before U.S. District Court Judge Gerhard Gessell. "I'm talking about President Reagan and President Walah," he said, the latter referring to independent counsel Lawrence Walah, who directs the Iran-Contra investigation. Hakim, who could have been sentenced to up to a year in jail and a $100,000 fine on the misdemeanor charge, is the sixth person sentenced in the Iran-Crabtain affair. No one has been sent to jail. Educators criticize Bush plan The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Education leaders and Democrats in Congress yesterday decried a yawning gap between President Bush's soaring goals for U.S. schools and the 2 percent increase in his education budget. Leaders wondered where the money would come from to meet Bush's aims of drastically reducing the dropout rate and making U.S. students world-beaters in math and science by the turn of the century. "There is a yawning gap between the rhetoric of President Bush's education speeches and the funding levels he offers in his budget," said Albert Shanker, president of the American Federation of Teachers. Bush unveiled the goals in his State of the Union address Wednesday night, four months after agreeing to produce the first performance goals for the nation's schools. BULGARIAN REBIGNATION: Bulgarian premier Georgi Atanasov, a holdover from the era of disgraced leader Todor Zhivkov, resigned along with his Communist-controlled Cabinet, Bulgarian state radio reported yesterday. Atanassov and the 22-member government had been under increasing pressure to resolve Bulgaria's labor strife and other economic problems. Their departure clears the way for creation of an interim government to run Bulgaria until elections are held later this year. The Communists have proposed such a government to share power with the opposition. BUSH PROPOSES AID: President Bush yesterday called El Salvador's President Alfredo Cristiani an example of democratic commitment and proposed a $82 million increase in aid to the Central American nation. The State Department said the administration proposed $284 million for El Salvador in economic aid for fiscal 1991 compared with $229 million for this year. Military aid will rise slightly, to $1.41 million. Nation/World briefs lion from $84.6 million, if Congress approves. AZERBALJAM NORMALIZES: AZERBAIJAN NORMALIZERS: The Soviet military commander expressed hope yesterday that troops in Azerbaijan could begin returning home by mid-February and authorities could lift a curfew imposed after violent ethnic clashes in that region. Representatives of Armenia and Azerbaijan prepared to open peace talks Friday across the Soviet Union, after the collapse of the Baltic republic of Latvia. A spokesman for the Azerbaijani People's Front accused President Mikhail S. Gorbachev of caving in to Communist hard-liners by sending troops to occupy Baku. "Gorbachev's hands are now bloody," he said. "Many positively inclined forces are trying to normalize the situation and end the curfew," Lt. Gen. Vladimir S. Dubinyak said. UNITED GERMANY POSSIBLE: East Germany's Communist premier yesterday appealed for negotiations with West Germany to forge a "united fatherland" that eventually would be neutral and governed from Berlin. West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl welcomed the call to discuss reunification but rejected the call for military neutrality. SIT-IN REUNION: The dramatic lunch counter sit-in in 30 years ago in Greenbosboro, N.C., that helped ignite the 1960s civil rights movement surprised everyone, even the four black participants who re-enacted it yesterday at Woolworth's. "We were scared," said Franklin McCain, one of the four college students who staged the first lunch counter sit-in on Feb. 1, 1960. "All I wanted was a Coke and a doughnut." "If someone had come up behind me and said boo, I probably would have fallen off the stool," said another protester, David Richmond. When McCain and his three college friends took the same seats yesterday, they were treated like celebrities.
