Hurricane Emily veers from East Coast
The Associated Press
Hurricane Emily peeled
away from the Atlantic Coast
Wednesday after swamping
t
npir
roads, tearing off roofs and u
rooting trees on North Carol
na's Outer Banks.
The storm, packing 115 mph
winds and churning up 15-foot
waves, spared the island chain
its full fury. Its eye came no
closer to land than 20 miles east
of Cape Hatteras before a bank
of cold air pushed the hurricane
out to sea on a north-northeast-
srly path.
"Dear Emil
miy. Sorry We
. Th<
Missed You. Thanx for the
Waves. Sincerely, Your Locals,"
read a sign spray-painted on a
sheet of plywood nailed to a
window on North Carolina's
Bogues Banks, south of Cape
Hatteras on the Outer Banks.
A 15-year-old swimmer was
missing in heavy surf in Vir
ginia.
The only injury reported in
North Carolina was a woman
who broke her hip.
At 2 a.m., Emily was centered
about 100 miles east of Virginia
Beach, Va. It was moving north-
northeast near 13 mph.
Hurricane warnings re
mained in effect as far north as
Cape Henlopen, Del., but fore
casters said Emily was expected
to stay so far offshore that hurri
cane-force winds — 74 mph or
more — wouldn't reach land.
"It will probably weaken
gradually as it moves over cool
er water," said Lixion Avila of
the National Hurricane Center
in Coral Cables, Fla.
As it swirled northward,
Emily lashed Virginia with dri
ving rain, caused minor flood
ing as far north as New York's
Long Island and prompted tens
of thousands of people to evacu
ate vulnerable coastal areas.
The storm had strengthened
during the day Tuesday, gather
ing energy from the warm Gulf
Stream.
It reached Category 3 on the
l-to-5 Saffir-Simpson scale of
hurricane intensity. About
180,000 people were ordered
evacuated along the North Car
olina coast as the storm closed
The hurricane dumped more
than 6 inches of rain on Cape
Hatteras and tore roofs off
buildings along Ocracoke and
Hatteras islands with gusts top
ping 90 mph. Dare County
emergency management offi
cials were forced to abandon
their operations center on Cape
Hatteras because of flooding.
Cars were left floating in a
bank parking lot in Buxton, and
fallen trees blocked roads.
Three houses at Kitty Hawk
that had been damaged by pre
vious storms fell into the At
lantic.
"The house is shaking terri
bly from the wind and waves.
Water is pouring in everywhere,
from cracks in the doors and
windows and from the roof,"
Irene Nolan said from her home
in the seaside village of Frisco.
"Everything under the house ...
is floating down the street with
the current."

non-Western views of the world.
Texas A&M's interim dean for
the liberal arts college, Woodrow
Jones Jr., said feedback on his
school's action has been divided,
but he believes the school did the
right thing.
"We implemented this in
hopes that students would get
something that would help them
be better prepared for the global
market place," he said.
Opponents say the programs
are attempts at "political correct
ness" that infringe on educational
freedom.
But Jones said with projections
that the state will be "majority mi
nority" by the year 2003, institu
tions won't be able to ignore the
need for breaking down racial
and ethnic barriers.
"The whole state of Texas is
changing rapidly so it's kind of
hard to avoid it," Jones said.
"How could anyone expect to ap
propriately deal with the diversity
that's out there?"
State Rep. Ron Wilson, D-
Houston, tried to pass a law this
yea" requiring all state college
stuaents to take a multi-cultural
class.
That was prompted by parties
at Texas Tech and Texas A&M
with themes and costumes
derogatory to blacks. One had a
"party in the projects." Another
had a jungle theme.
"People have dismissed the in
cidents ... as kids will be kids. But
we think it speaks to a deeper-
rooted type of problem. I don't
know if I want to say racism or to
tal insensitivity toward people,"
said Wilson's administrative as
sistant, Eric Glenn.
According to a report from the
Texas Higher Education Coordi
nating Board, total enrollments at
colleges, universities and techni
cal schools around the state sur
passed 900,000 last year. They
should top 943,000 by 1995 and
break 1 million by 2000.
Of those enrollment increases,
the officials expect the biggest
jumps to continue to be in the en
rollment of Hispanics and blacks.
In addition to looking at multi
cultural classes, universities are
adopting programs to lure mi
norities into fields such as engi
neering, which have traditionally
been dominated by white males.
A UT program that includes
peer-tutoring, workshops and
special summer programs has
brought minority enrollment to 19
percent and put its minority grad
uation rate at an all-time high.

Israel, Palestine may see peace within days
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Emotion-charged Mideast
peace talks reopened Tuesday with confident Pales
tinian and Israeli predictions that a historic agree
ment to establish Palestinian self-rule would be con
cluded within days.
"That's a done deal," said a senior Israeli official.
He told reporters the only remaining question was
whether the accord would be signed by the heads of
the Israeli and Palestinian delegations that opened an
11th round of talks here or other Israeli and PLO offi
cials.
"It's an agreement that stands on its own two
feet," the official said.
Moreover, Nabil Shaath, chief political adviser to
PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, said "we hope to hear
very soon — tomorrow or the day after" statements
of "full mutual recognition" by Arafat and Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
Israeli sources confirmed Arafat and Rabin would
move toward an accommodation but said the an
nouncement may be several days off.
But the official said Israel "will not settle for any
thing that is less than 110 percent explicit" recogni
tion of its nationhood and renunciation of terrorism
by the Palestine Liberation Organization.
The PLO has agreed, meanwhile, that 3,300 Jewish
settlers would remain in Gaza with Israel responsible
for their security.
The timetable for mutual recognition was one of
the subjects under discussion in Europe, where Is
raeli and PLO negotiators on Tuesday continued the
talks they had begun secretly earlier this year in
O^jo.Negotiators here awaited the results.
Norwegian officials, who have played a key role
in forging the accord, said the new location was a se
cret and three other meetings had been held in three
in another European country, which they would not
name.
A senior Israeli negotiator said after a 90-minute
meeting with the Palestinians that Israel, whose gov
ernment had already approved the agreement Mon
day, was now awaiting approval of the pact by the
central committee of the PLO.
"Now it's up to the PLO to respond in kind and to
approve the agreement so that we may soon formal
ize it and sign it here in Washington," said Eytan
Ben-Tsur.
Secretary of State Warren Christopher, praised the
accord as "a conceptual breakthrough," said the
United States was prepared to provide financial as
sistance.

Muslims and Serbs reach cease-fire in Bosnia
===
It's
The Associated Press
GENEVA — Bosnia's Muslim-led govern
ment and rebel Serbs agreed Tuesday on a
new cease-fire hailed as a breakthrough in the
latest push to negotiate an end to the ethnic
war.
Nikola Koljevic, an aide to Bosnian Serb
leader Radovan Karadzic, said an overall
peace package to divide Bosnia into three eth
nic republics could be signed as early as
Wednesday.
But the warring factions in Bosnia-Herze-
govina — Serbs, Muslims and Croats — have
violated all previous cease-fire agreements
since fighting broke out nearly 17 months ago.
Koljevic said Karadzic and Bosnian Presi
dent Alija Izetbegovic had agreed to a cessa
tion of hostilities as part of a five-point plan
that also included prisoner exchanges and a
telephone hot line between Serb and govern
ment military headquarters.
Mirza Hajric, spokesman for the govern
ment, confirmed the latest agreement but
played down its importance. He said he was
unaware of progress on the borders of the eth
nic republics.
The two leaders also agreed to set up a joint
commission to regulate electricity and water
supplies in all cities and pledged to calm the
media, which has been used to incite hatred
between the three ethnic groups.
Koljevic said Izetbegovic had made only
minimal demands for changes in a map pro
posed by international mediators despite his
earlier statements that the proposals were un
acceptable.
Izetbegovic has slammed the peace plan as
rewarding Serb and Croat aggression. But he
fears that the outgunned government forces
and suffering Muslim civilians may not sur
vive another winter.
Croatian President Franjo Tudjman said the
Bosnian Croats had dropped their demands
for changes in the borders on the proposed
maps and were ready to sign the peace pack
age.
The Serbs have already said they will sign
the deal proposed by mediators Lord Owen of
the European Community and Thorvald
Stoltenberg of the United Nations.
It would divide Bosnia-Herzegovina into
three ethnic republics with only a weak central
government. Muslims would have 31 percent
of territory, the Serbs 52 percent and Croats 17
percent.
Before the war Muslims comprised 43 per
cent of the population, the Serbs 31 percent
and Croats 17 percent.
Karadzic earlier warned that if the Muslims
refused to sign the deal, Serbs and Croats
would "divide Bosnia in two." Mediator
Owen said he feared this was a real possibility.
Izetbegovic previously said Muslims
should be given about 40 percent of Bosnian
territory under the deal. His government also
demanded U.S. and NATO participation to en
force any peace settlement.
U.N. Secretary-General Boutros-Boutros
Ghali is scheduled to meet NATO head Man
fred Woerner on Wednesday to discuss how to
implement the peace deal, including the num
ber of troops needed.
President Clinton said Monday he would
make American troops available for peace
keeping in Bosnia if a settlement was fair and
enforceable.
Implementation of a peace plan will be dif
ficult. The Serbs in particular will have to roll
back from land they have seized.
In the 17 months of fighting up to 200,000
people have been killed and more than 2 mil
lion displaced.
