Soviet situation could be 'Bloody Thursday'
Continued from page 1
enforce his decree.
He also has placed all Moscow
police units under the command
of the Ministry of Interior, re
moving them from control of the
liberal-dominated Moscow city
government.
The leader of the liberal dem
onstrators has said his group will
defy the Gorbachev ban, but will
avoid confrontation with secu
rity forces.
The danger is that the conser
vatives might be determined to
seize any pretext for "teaching
the liberals a lesson," and might
force a confrontation whether
the liberals want it or not.
The demonstrators on Bloody
Sunday were not seeking con
frontation either.
Liberal and conservative fac
tions within the Soviet Union
have been moving toward a
showdown for some time.
The rapid sweeping aside in
1989 of communist governments
and privileged bureaucracies in
Eastern Europe shocked their
Soviet counterparts.
It appears mat the conserva
tives became convinced that
there can be no co-existence with
liberals, no peaceful competition
within a pluralistic political sys
tem.
Since mid-1990, the conserva
tives — Communist party loy
alists, privileged bureaucrats,
the senior military leadership,
the KGB and the Ministry of In
terior security forces — have
mounted an all-out drive to elim
inate liberal elements from
power positions within the So
viet political arena.
The surprise resignation by
Foreign Minister Eduard She
vardnadze during a public
speech to the Congress of Peo
ple's Deputies on Dec. 20 was
the most visible departure by a
high-ranking liberal, but She
vardnadze has had plenty of
company.
Other key liberal officials who
have been forced out of govern
ment jobs within the last six to
eight months include:
□ Alexandr Yakolev, a former
Politburo member, who along
with Shevardnadze and Mikhail
Gorbachev, was one of the origi
nal architects of perestroika;
□ and key Boris Yeltsin sup
porters like Grigori Yavlinsky,
former Deputy Prime Minister of
the Russian Republic, and Rusla
Khazbulatov, former deputy
leader of the Russian Parliament.
Today, Boris Yeltsin is the last
liberal politician holding a politi
cal office of national influence.
Conservatives like Marshal
Sergi Akhromeyev, the former
Soviet armed forces chief of staff,
say Yeltsin is an "anti-socialist
separatist" who must be re
moved from office.
□ Nikolai Petrakov and Sta
nislav Shatalin, the man who de
veloped the plan to introduce a
market economy in the Soviet
Union;
□ Vadim Bakatin, former head
of the Ministry of Interior who
opposed the use of security
forces to quell public demonstra
tion;
Yeltsin in return "declared
war" on Gorbachev and the con
servatives in a nationally tele
vised speech Feb. 18, calling for
Gorbachev's immediate resigna
tion.
Yeltsin's call was echoed by
more than 200,000 demonstators
who took to the streets March
10.

Athletes Involved. He and Kent
Petty, a quarterback for the Ag
gies, spoke to the young men.
"It was amazing," Moore said.
"The boys' attention spans are
usually about five minutes, and
when (Petty and Smith) started
talking it was kind of awkward,"
Moore said. "But then they
started asking just real basic
questions like 'What do you do if
someone asks you to go to the
movies and you're studying?"'
Smith said he and Petty just
tried to relate some of their past
experiences in high school.
"We started off by talking
about sports," Smith said. "Then
we were soon talking about
school, drug and alcohol abuse,
and other things."
Moore said the boys look up to
athletes because many aspire to
be athletes themselves.
'They idolize these
guys/
Moore said. "You have a bunch
of adolescent boys who don't
want to show it, and these guys
were just great. It was the power
of who they were and getting the
message across."
Hoffman said Aggie Athletes
Involved began because there
was no community service orga
nization on campus in which
athletes could become involved
that would be sensitive to their
varying and sometimes restric
tive schedules.
"They could get involved in
organizations already estab
lished, but these organizations
are not really understanding to
the responsiblities and commit
ments althletes have," Hoffman
said.
"Athletes are definitely under
time constraints that an average
student would not be," she said.
"That is why this organization
was created."
Cain Council, a part of the
Resident Hall Association, is the
only community service organi
zation recognized by the Univer
sity which is composed mainly
of athletes, Hoffman said.

the
that live in the dorms," Hoffman
said.
Hoffman said Aggie Athletes
Involved is made up of athletes
from men's and women's sports.
She said although the mem
bership is small —about 14 or 15
members — Aggie Athletes In
volved hopes to eventually have
athletes from every sport be
come involved.
Smith said the organization is
talking to principals of elemen
tary and seconaary schools to
possibly set up activities be
tween the students and athletes.
One program the group is
hoping to set up is called "Break
fast with Champions," where
students can dine and talk with
athletes.
Hoffman said Aggie Athletes
Involved is still in its intial stages
of development, and is in the
process or obtaining official rec
ognition from the University.
Smith said because of the ath
letes' busy schedules, off-season
egins in
athletes will be more active in
the program during given times,
in order to ease the pressure
other members.
Jason Marshall, a shortstop for
the A&M baseball team, will take
over the position of presided
when football season
the fall.
Hoffman said a positive mes
sage for school-age children is
more effective when it comes
from people the children look to
as role models.
"I would compare it to a movie
star giving a message," Hoffman
said. "Athletes have status or
prestige because of how society
glorifies sports.
"The message coming from
any ordinary person would
be the same," she said. ‘
somehow hearing it from some
one with status — such as an
athlete — gives the message bet
ter reception."
