Gorbachev offers to resign as Soviet president

A letter signed by 72 Central

the meeting, saying the resigna

matter for the party's Congress,

ing, Interfax said.
reported.
If the Central Committee in
sisted on pursuing Gorbachev's
resignation, the 72 signers said,
they would urge the convening
of an extraordinary session of a
Congress that would consider
electing a new Central Commit
tee, Interfax said.
When the break ended, dep
uty party chief Vladimir Ivashko
announced that the Politburo
said Gorbachev's resignation
should not be considered at all
because it would ''go against the
interests of the cause," Interfax
»pc
The 410-member Central Com
mittee then overwhelmingly
voted against pursuing the idea,
with only 13 still insisting on
putting the no-confidence ques
tion on the agenda, said ob
server Andrei Chaikovsky of Ka
liningrad and a member from
Kiev who refused to give his
name.
Thursday's criticism came the
day after Gorbachev revealed a
new agreement with nine repub
lic chiefs, including his main re
formist rival, Russian leader Bo
ris Yeltsin.
Gorbachev promised new
elections to both the parliament
and presidency, and the republic
leaders joined him in calling for
an end to crippling strikes.
About 15,000 striking workers
paralyzed a railroad junction in
the Byelorussian city of Orsha on
Thursday, halting train travel
along a main line from Moscow'
ported. Workers in the republic
have been on strike since Tues
day and want a special session of
the Byelorussian legislature to
address their political and eco
nomic demands.
In Leningrad, 10,000 construc
tion workers began a strike de
manding higher pay, Gorba
chev's resignation and
dissolution of parliament, said
strike committee leader Vladimir
Ignatenko.
The agreement urges thera;}

and Turkmenia.
An estimated 300,000 coal
miners are continuing a walkout
that began March 1. Among
their demands are Gorbachev's
resignation, indexing wages to
inflation, and more autonomy
for the republics.
The six separatist repifc|
that did not sign were Este

Moldavia and Armenia.
On Wednesday, Gorbachev
used the agreement with Yeltsin
and other republic leaders to bol

from the hard-liners.

the Governor's office will act."
Clevenger said the Governor's
office has not indicated what ac
tions will be taken if the student
regent bill does not come out of
committee.
Clevenger's efforts to pass an
other bill in Austin came across
similar obstacles Wednesday.
A bill granting student control
over funds generated from com
puter access fees has been put on
hold, Clevenger said.
Clevenger said H.B. 2704 had
not been introduced to the Texas
House before the filing deadline
last week.
"The bill will probably be
worked into another bill, but in
amended form," Clevenger said.
"It will probably then be intro
duced as part of a comprehen
sive fee bill."
Clevenger said the bill would
allow students to appropriate
funds from computer access
fees, following the same proce
dure as student services fees.
The fee still would be assessed
in the same manner, but a stu
dent committee would be set up
to recommend how it would be
spent.
"As of last semester, the entire
computer access fee for the last
two years has been spent on the
VAC system," he said. "That is a
mainframe system, used mostly
by engineers. The majority of
A&M's students don't use the
system."
Clevenger said according to
the bill, the funds could be spent
where students believed it was
most needed.
"As students deemed the PCs
as the primary computer need,
more money could be put into
them," he said.
Clevenger said the delay in fil
ing the bill resulted from opposi
tion by university presidents of
most Texas public universities.
"The presidents c idn't go into
much detail, but they made it
clear they didn't like the idea,"
he said.
"I drafted the bill two or tin
months ago, and when the fj
position came up, I turns j
over to the Texas Student 1
Austin," Clevenger
in
didn't want to just sell

dents."
He said the student lobby

Rep. Glen Maxey, the
sponsor, could not be react
