DEPRESSION STUDY CALL VOLUNTEERS IN PHARMACEUTICAL 776-1417 Collider receives more funds in Senate WASHINGTON (AP) — A Sen ate panel voted Tuesday to spend $509 million on the Superconduct ing Super Collider next year, set ting aside $75 million more than the House approved two weeks ago to build the giant atom smasher. Sen. J. Bennett Johnston, chair man of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Wa ter Development, said that while the collider still comes up $25 mil lion short of what President Bush had sought, the $509 million should allow construction to pro ceed on schedule. The panel's decision on the SSC, included in a $22 billion energy and water spending bill, should have no trouble passing the full Appropriations Committee, said Johnston, D-La. The panel is scheduled to take up the bill late Wednesday. "I don't think there are any guerrilla bands roving around tak ing pot shots at it," Johnston said after the committee's vote. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, said he was also confident the full committee would approve the $509 million. "And with that kind of support, I believe we can defeat any chal lenge on the Senate floor," Bent- sen said. The SSC has traditionally faced far less opposition in the Senate than in the House, where oppo nents won 165 votes two weeks ago on an amendment that would have killed the $8.25 billion atom smasher being built south of Dal las. Johnston declared the SSC "a very important national project. We can keep the project on sched ule with this (appropriation)." The SSC would oe the world's largest and most expensive scien tific instrument. It is scheduled to be built by the end of 1999. Kuwait ejects foreigners from country ABDALI, Kuwait (AP) — At least 200 foreigners, mostly Iraqis, were deported Tuesday in wnat Western officials said was a possi ble violation of the cease-fire agreement in the Persian Gulf War. At the border post at Abdali, Army Lt. Feisel al-Enezi said some of the foreigners were being ex pelled because they entered Ku wait after the Iraqi invasion, oth ers because they had no legal jobs. "Some were crying, saying T don't want to go. The Iraqis will kill me,' " al-Enezi said. "I told them not to be afraid of the Iraqis. They will welcome you." He said all those coming through Abdali had Iraqi pass ports. Al-Enezi said a first group of 46 Iraqis walked across the border Sunday night and about 200 others would be sent home Tuesday. Others, including Jordanians, Sudanese and Palestinians were being sent out of the country by air, usually via Cairo, one Western ambassador said. In Kuwait City, scores of men, women and children filed onto buses at the Immigration Depart ment's detention center in the Shuweikh neighborhood on the city's outskirts. "My son-in-law didn't do any thing," wailed one distraught woman as a man was led on to a bus in handcuffs.

Nerd House by Tom A. Madisot . * tio de 1990 census shows < A& high Asian growth 1 WASHINGTON (AP) — Chinese, Filipinos, Indians and Koreans led an explosive growth in the country's Asian-American population during the past decade, the Census Bureau said Tuesday. America's huge Chinese community more than doubled in size during the decade, to 1.6 million. The number of Filipinos grew by more than 80 percent, to 1.4 million. The smaller Indian, Korean and Vietnamese communities eadi grew more than 125 percent. Asians and Pacific Islanders were the nation's fastest-growing ra rial group in the 1980s, more than doubling their 1980 numbers. But at 7.3 million, they still make up only 3 percent of the national popula tion of 248.7 million. Most of the growth came from immigrants. And most of those im migrants settled in California, Hawaii and New York. Tom Hsieh, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, is campaigning to become the first Asian-American mayor of a major city. As Hsieh sees it, the time has come for the Americans of Asian descent to join the nation's leadership. "We will no longer take a back seat," he said. "The one common remark is, 'This is our turn.' " Daphne Kwok, executive director of the Organization of Chinese Americans, said Hsieh's candidacy is an important step in getting Asians involved in politics. Fewer than a fifth of San Francisco's Asian-Americans were regis tered to vote in the 1988 election. Kwok said many recent immigrants can't vote because they aren't citizens. And where new immigrants like the Laotians and the Hmong have obtained citizenship, they care more about economic survival. "The diversity within the Asian community is so tremendous, they all do have different agendas," Kwok said. About three-fourths of the Asian-American population growth during the 1980s was due to immigration, said William O'Hare, a de mographer at the University of Louisville. "The more people you have here, the more people are eligible to immigrate because of family ties," O'Hare said. nu are us< saj pie ch« I tiv cox yoi wil 1 for du I sta hie fici the tha the sta I po] pei i NOW OPEN EQUINOX THE DAQUIR!
