Soviet Union
wants key role
as peace agent
WASHINGTON (AP) — The So
viet Union, promised a postwar role
in the Middle East by a long-reluc
tant United States, is trying a new
diplomatic approach to Baghdad
and could emerge later as a key
peace broker in the troubled region.
Although the Soviets refused to
send troops to help oust Iraq from
Kuwait, the Kremlin supported the
U.N. resolutions aimed at restoring
Kuwait’s independence — even to
the point of using force.
President Mikhail S. Gorbachev
sought Saturday to stake out a new
centrist position that could help ce
ment Soviet credibility with old Arab
allies while retaining membership in
the international community of na
tions aligned against Iraq’s invasion
of Kuwait.
The Soviet leader warned of the
“ever more alarming and dramatic
scope” of the war and said he was
sending an envoy to Baghdad to ap
peal again for a peaceful settlement,
which the United States has said
must entail Iraq’s unconditional
withdrawal from Kuwait.
Pageant
Continued from page 1
judging was difficult because of the
quality of the finalists.
“Our purpose was to select a girl
who will represent the University
and facilitate herself as an ambassa
dor of A&M,” Dick Brunner says.
The interview portion of the pag
eant was the most important of the
four-part competition.
“We asked questions to Find out
how the finalists would respond to
questions asked by people who are
not Aggies,” he says.
Questions about athletics, politics,
current events and A&M traditions
were among the topics selected by
the panel of judges.
The questions were asked to see
how much the finalists knew about
the University and the world, Mrs.
Brunner says.
The other three events were fit
ness wear, evening gown and a talent
competition.
They both agreed the 1991 Miss
TAMU will represent A&M well.
Nietenhoefer won a $1,500 schol
arship and a $200 scholarship for
the talent competition. She played a
piano piece by Johann Sebastian
Bach during the talent portion.
In addition to the scholarships,
she won a $500 wardrobe allowance,
a 14-karat gold and diamond pen
dant, one-year membership to Aero-
fit and use of a 1991 Cadillac during
her tenure.
The runners-up received schol
arships also.
First runner-up was Jannine
Smith, a senior management major
from Dallas. Emily Smith, a senior
health education major from Mar
shall, was second runner-up.
Carmen Tisch, a junior business
management major from Spring was
third runner-up and Paris North, a
senior speech communications ma
jor from DeSoto, was fourth runner-
up.
Each received scholarships of
$1,000, $600, $400 and $300, re
spectively, a six-month membership
to Aerofit and other prizes.
Nietenhoefer says the support
from her friends and family made
her title possible.
“They put up with me when my
nerves were stressed because of ev
erything going on before pageant,”
she says.
She also says she and the other 11
finalists became good friends.
“I knew some of the girls from
working on the Pageant committee
the last two years, but I have become
good friends with the new girls also,”
she says.
Working on the Pageant commit
tee and being in the pageant has
been a positive experience, she says.
“Win or not win, it is a wonderful
experience.”

VILNIUS, U.S.S.R. (AP) — Lith
uania reported no signs of new So
viet troop movements Sunday, a day
after voters overwhelmingly en
dorsed their republic’s 11-month-
old independence declaration.
President Vytautas Landsbergis
called the poll victory ®the next step
on the road to independence” from
the Soviet Union and held out hope
it would embolden nationalists in
neighboring Estonia, Latvia and
Russia to hold similar votes.
“Of course the results will encour
age them,” he told reporters early
Sunday after staying overnight in
the heavily fortified parliament
building.
According to preliminary results,
90 percent of the voters said they fa
vored becoming “an independent,
democratic republic.” Lithuania, like
Estonia and Latvia, were indepen
dent for two decades between the
two world wars before being an
nexed by the Soviet Union.
Secretary of State James A. Baker
III, interviewed on CBS’ “Face the
Nation,” said, “There’s some indica
tion that the Soviets may be talking
with the Baltic states about some sort
of a mechanism that would permit
them to resolve these differences
through dialogue.
“Now, we’ve made it very clear
that we want to see the aspirations of
the Baltic peoples for independence
fulfilled, and we will continue to take
that position in our discussions with
the Soviet Union and continue to
make the point... that that’s very im
portant to US-Soviet relations. We
nave a disagreement with the Soviet
Union on this,” Baker said.
Soviet army officials have told
leaders in the Baltics they plan 10
days of maneuvers there beginning
Sunday.
The Lithuanian parliamentary
press office reported no sign of the
troops in the republic’s major cities
Sunday, and streets were quiet in this
predominantly Roman Catholic,
church-going republic. Landsbergis
said activists were posted through
out the republic on the lookout for
new troop movements.
