WASHINGTON (AP) - In a [jarring reminder that Cold War dangers haven't disappeared, the Navy said Tuesday that one of its nuclear-powered attack sub marines was hit by a Russian sub last week in the Arctic Ocean. U.S. officials said they weren't sure which vessel was at fault. Pentagon officials said the USS Baton Rouge, a Los Angeles-class attack submarine whose home port is Norfolk, Va., was on a rou tine patrol in the Barents Sea at the time of the collision, but they would not discuss its mission or exact location. There was no report of nuclear contamination in the area of the accident. "The question is, why are we doing this kind of operation now? The Cold War is supposed to be over," said James T. Bush, a re tired Navy captain and sub T mariner. "They really haven't ad justed to the fact that the Cold War is over." Adm. Frank B. Kelso II, the Navy's top uniformed officer as chief of naval operations, ada- mently refused to discuss the inci dent. He stressed that the U.S. fleet would continue to operate as usual in international waters. "The seas are free for every body to operate in," Kelso said in an interview with the AP. "I don't think anything is going to change that." American officials have ac knowledged that Soviet sub marines no longer patrol regularly off the U.S. Atlantic shore. The Defense Department said that the accident occurred Feb. 11, and that it waited a week to dis close it because Secretary of State James A. Baker III wanted to dis cuss it with Russian President Boris Yeltsin before the announce ment. "Given the change in the na ture of the relationship between Russia and the United States, we thought it best to notify Boris Yeltsin," the department said in a brief statement. Bob Hall, a Pentagon spokesman, said he believed it was the first time the department has announced a submarine colli sion, although this was not the first involving U.S. and Russian vessels. He said the mishap was disclosed in this case "because of the unusual nature of this inci dent." Hall told reporters the U.S. Navy has 84 attack submarines in operation around the world. Their wartime role is to destroy enemy ships, particularly submarines. In peacetime they often are involved in intelligence-gathering opera tions. The naval forces of the former Soviet Union include 212 attack submarines, according to the latest published Pentagon count. Nations take steps to set up early warning defense center MOSCOW (AP) - The United States and Russia, in a first step to ward a joint defense system, agreed Tuesday to set up an early warning center to alert them to ballistic missile attacks, U.S. offi cials said. Secretary of State James A. Baker III and Russian Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev also agreed on accelerated high-level talks toward an accord to sharply reduce their long-range nuclear arsenals, Kozyrev said. Baker and Kozyrev decided to jettison the cumbersome arms con trol negotiating procedures of the Cold War, which involved large teams of experts working for years to reach agreement. They agreed instead to conduct the negotia tions themselves with a comple tion goal of July, when President Bush and Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin meet in Washington.

Program discusses protection Attorney offers ways to stop thefts, attacks By Melody Dunne The Battalion Easy and inexpensive ways to be protected from burglary and as sault were demonstrated Tuesday evening by the Brazos county attorney dur ing the first presentation at a two-day Women's Is sues sympo sium. Former po liceman Jim Kuboviak told a small group at a Memorial Student Center Great Issues sym posium he didn't want to frighten them by his presentation. "What I do want you to do is be cautious," he said. Kuboviak brought small mod els of doors, which consisted of doorknobs and different kinds of locks attached to a piece of wood. He demonstrated how burglars break certain types of locks and said deadbolt locks should be used in all doors, but cheap deadbolts are practically worthless. "You can buy a deadbolt for as cheap as $7," he said. "Anything under $15 is useless. If you don't have a good deadbolt on your door, you're as good as dead." Always leave a light on, or buy a timer that will turn lights on at a certain time, Kuboviak said. "Bad guys don't like light," he said, and warned his audience never to walk into a dark house alone. Better than deadbolts and even lights, Kuboviak said, is neighbors who watch out for each other's property.

Tsongas, Bush win primary Buchanan garners 40 perce of vote, pressures incumbe \/r A Mr'T-rPQTPP M M ^AP'i _ 1A KToixr Mamt-.oV.Jfo'c 9' MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - President Bush gained a grudging victory Tuesday night in the New Hampshire presidential primary. with challenger Buchanan claiming more than 40 percent of the Republi can vote to fuel his conserva tive rebellion. Former Sen. Paul E. Tsongas of Mas sachusetts won the five-way Democratic race, ratifying the frontrunner Patrick J. ^ 1 J ' , lllll for 14 of New Hampshire's 23 del egates; Buchanan 25,384 or 42 per cent and 9 delegates. Polls of voters leaving their polling places showed that the economy and George Bush Paul Tsongas status even he called improbable. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton ran second and pro nounced himself "the comeback kid." New Hampshire's blighted economy was the consuming issue in both parties' campaigns, and Bush said he got the message of discontent. "This election was far closer than many had predicted," he said. "I think the opponents on both sides reaped the harvest of discontent with the pace of New Hampshire's economy. Bush vowed to "take my case to the voters in the next eight-and- a-half months," and said he was confident of beating Buchanan to win the GOP nomination. "Now," said Bush, "on to the South." The Republican vote, with 51 percent of the precincts counted: Bush 34,767 or 57 percent. He led jobs were the issues that mattered most to both Repub licans and Democrats. Early exit polls reported by ABC found that 52 percent of Buchanan voters said they voted for him to send a message, compared with 47 percent who said he would make the best president. More than half said they would not vote for Bush in November. In the Democratic primary, with 38 percent of the precincts re porting, Tsongas and Clinton both were splitting New Hampshire's 18 convention delegates. The vote was: Tsongas 19,634 or 33 percent; Clinton 16,440 or 28 percent. For Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebras ka and Tom Harkin of Iowa, the challenge was to defeat the other and emerge as the more liberal al ternative to Tsongas or Clinton. Kerrey had 12 percent and Harkin 11. Democratic National Chair man Ronald H. Brown said the New Hampshire results put Bush "in incredible peril." "George Bush is a one-term president."

Student alcohol violations climb By Sharon Gilmore The Battalion Alcohol violations at Texas A&M shot up to 334 during the 1991-1992 school year from 133 in 1990-1991, but the in crease in transgressions stems from more law enforcement efforts, a University Police officer said. A recent U.S. sur geon general report re vealed that 23 million college students drink close to four billion cans of beer each year. The amount of wine and liquor they consume is enough to raise annual consumption to 34 gallons per person, accord ing to the report. Lt. Bert Kretzschmar of the University Po lice Department's Crime Prevention unit said the University has stepped up enforcement of alcohol violations. He said it is up to individu als to avoid citations. "The key word is responsibility," Kret zschmar said. "People have to know their lim its." Minors in possession of alcohol accounted for 261 of this year's violations. Most citations were given to students who were in parking lots or were walking from the Northgate area, Kretzschmar said. The Northgate Task Force has contributed to the increase in students receiving alcohol ci tations. University and College Station police began patrolling the Northgate area last semester to decrease the number of alcohol re lated problems. The force patrols Thursday through Saturday, during peak drinking hours. "Given the population of 41,000 students, I think the students are being responsible be cause of more awareness." Most college students drink to socialize and some groups seem to create a pressure to drink, Kretzschmar said. "Not as many people are getting really drunk," said Clyde Collins, district supervisor of the Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commis sion. However, Collins said the number of alco hol violations was much higher during the reg ular semesters. . One A&M student, however, said she didn't think students go out just to get intoxi cated. "I think a lot of people go out to have fun more than just getting drunk," Emily Taylor, a sophomore business major said. "I think a See Agency/Page 3
