em allies seek to punish North
Korea for rejecting required
U.N. inspections of the facilities.
North Korea claims the nu
clear plants are for peaceful pur
poses, but its long refusal to ac
cept inspections has heightened
suspicion that it is developing
nuclear bombs.
South Korea’s 650,000-strong
army has been on alert along
the border. The North’s 1.1 mil-
lion-member military also re
mains on heightened alert.
South Korean government of
ficials said today the 130,000-
member national police force
has begun tightening security
around major government of
fices for fear of sabotage by
North Korea.
South Korea fears that its
neighbor, angered by moves to
ward sanctions against it,
might provoke armed clashes
or infiltrate agents for sabotage
or assassination.
“Police have an order to
tighten security around the
clock,” one Home Ministry of
ficial said, speaking on condi
tion of anonymity.
In one of its strongest c
(threats so far, North Korea t
warned Monday that any
punitive sanctions against it
would instantly provoke war.
Library

said no specific security plans have been made
yet.
“We have just started looking at needs, assess
ments and incidences that have occurred,” Lemay
said. “We want to do what is best for both stu
dents and faculty.”
David Baca, a security task force member, said
the team has taken some evaluative steps.
“We’ve done research, including a survey of li
brary personnel, and we’re working on conducting a
survey of students to evaluate their needs,” he said.
Some possible changes, he said, are keyed
door locks, cameras in the lobby and motion de
tectors.
Also, discussions for a new parking garage near
the library are also in motion.
Tom Williams, the director of Parking Transit
and Traffic Services, said the garage construction
could start as early as the summer of 1995.
The task forces will soon submit recommenda
tions to Heath for further consideration.
The task forces started their research about
two months ago, and their evaluations will contin
ue throughout the summer.
“First, they have to ascertain what the threats
are,” he said. “Staff is a consideration. We have
to consider the safety of our staff and of the ma
terials.
“I would like to think this is one of the safest
places on campus,” he said. “No student, to my
knowledge, has ever come forward and said ‘I
feel unsafe in your building,’” Heath said, “but
we want to make it a safe and pleasant environ
ment for students.”
Heath said the idea for the task forces arose
from concerns of library employees about the late
night hours of the library.
The library council was also instrumental in
the development of the teams.
No time schedule has been set for the research,
recommendations and implementation of the pro
posals.
Man escapes HEALTH BRIEFS
accident scene
on horseback
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas
(AP) — A suspected drunken
driver brought a bit of the Old
West to South Texas when he
escaped from an accident scene
by jumping on his horse and
galloping away.
The incident began about 6
p.m. Monday when the 34-
year-old man rear-ended a
Cadillac on the Crosstown Ex
pressway, resulting in a six-car
pileup, Corpus Christi police
officials said.
Before police arrived at the
accident, the man managed to
saddle up the quarter horse he
was pulling in his horse trailer
and take off.
“He was acting crazy. I
couldn’t tell if he was trying to
get away after the accident or
what, so I called the police de
partment,” said Anna Vacca, a
witness to the incident. “I then
saw him go back to the horse in
the trailer, saddle him up and
jump in the saddle, and I
thought, ‘What?’
“He then took off like a bat
out of, well, you know. He was
at a full gallop. The horse was
going wild.”
Police saw the man and his
horse running along the high
way’s grassy shoulder.
Secondhand smoke
raises cancer risk
WASHINGTON (AP) — Women
who have lived for years in the
household of a smoker have up to a
30 percent greater chance of devel
oping lung cancer than women living
in a smoke-free house, according to
new research released today.
The study, the largest ever of the
effects of environmental tobacco
smoke on nonsmokers, found that a
nonsmoking woman who grew up in a
household with smokers has an even
greater chance of getting lung cancer
than a woman exposed to second
hand smoke only in adulthood.
The Journal of the American Med
ical Association is publishing the
study this week and the results were
announced at a news conference.
Elizabeth T. H. Fontham of the
Louisiana State University Medical
Center said the five-year study of 653
nonsmoking female lung cancer pa
tients showed a direct dose-effect,
that is, the more secondhand smoke
women were the exposed to, the
more likely they were to develop lung
cancer.
The effect “was very small” for
women exposed for periods of less
than two decades, she said.
Research to resume
on breast cancer drug
WASHINGTON (AP) — A sus
pended study of the breast cancer
drug tamoxifen should be resumed
immediately despite fears that it
causes uterine cancer and possibly
other diseases, a federal panel said
Tuesday.
“Losing the opportunity to evalu
ate this drug would hurt the group
that probably needs it the most,” said
Dr. Charles Schiffer of the University
of Maryland, who chaired the Food
and Drug Administration’s advisory
committee.
Tamoxifen reduces the recurrence
of breast cancer by up to 50 percent.
Doctors and patients are clinging to
the drug as the best hope to prevent
breast cancer in high-risk women, in
stead of just treating the disease,
which strikes 180,000 Americans
every year and kills 46,000.
Fat/lean ratios on
meat labels queried
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Agri
culture Department is trying to deter
mine how much information Ameri
cans want about the amount of fat in
hamburger.
The answer it gets will determine
whether packages of ground beef can
list the percentage of fat and percent
age of lean.
The department is seeking public
comment until July 8 on a proposal to
allow such labeling when the pack
ages begin bearing voluntary nutrition
labels on Aug. 8.
The Center for Science in the Pub
lic Interest, a consumer group, con
tends that allowing fat-lean ratios on
labels will confuse shoppers. Advo
cates in the meat industry say con
sumers are used to getting that kind
of information, and use it for quality
and price decisions.
The new nutrition labels are sup
posed to establish one meaning for
words like “lean,” which calls for far
less fat than lean ground beef now
contains.
Sanctions
Continued from Page 1
The United States and
France are working together in
the U.N. Security Council to
persuade China hnd Russia to
agree to impose sanctions.
Ortigoza said it is important
to realize that sanctions may
not work in the situation with
North Korea.
“If you want to pick one
country in the world that won’t
be affected by sanctions, it’s
North Korea,” Ortigoza said.
“Its whole ideology is based on
self-reliance.
“It’s difficult to figure out
what they (the North Koreans)
are thinking because they are
such a closed nation,” he said.
Dawson said he believes
there is still an opportunity for
a peaceful resolution between
North Korea and the U.N.
“They would have to arrange
some beneficial situation that
would make North Korea be
lieve they are coming out
ahead,” Dawson said. “My
guess is that the Clinton ad
ministration is working over
time to create an arrangement
that will offer the best solution.
“The president appears to be
taking a wise course of action
in exploring his diplomatic op
tions,” he said.
Ortigoza said he believes a
great possibility of war exists.
“There is a real danger of
war,” he said. “There is no
chance for peace, unless some
thing happens in North Korea."
Tensions are rising on the
border between North Korea
and South Korea as the threat
of war increases.
South Korea’s 6 50,000-
strong army has been on alert
along the border. The North’s
1.1 million-member military
also remains on heightened
alert. )
The Associated Press report
ed, South Korean government
officials said today the 130,000-
member national police force
has begun tightening security
around major government of
fices for fear of sabotage by
North Korea.
Ortigoza said the U.S. and
the United Nations should take
the North Korean threats of
war seriously.
“It would be dangerous to
dismiss the threats as
rhetoric,” he said. “We have
37,000 troops on the ground in
South Korea, so we have a deep
interest in what is going on
over there.”
Dawson believes it is too
early to speculate on what will
happen in North Korea.
“It appears as if the dis
agreements will intensify,” he
said. “It is likely we will hear
much more out of North Korea
than we would like to.”

WASHINGTON (AP) -
Oliver North won endorse
ments Monday from a handful
of potential Republican Senate
colleagues but more on grounds
of party loyalty than any en
thusiasm for a candidacy that
has made many, Republicans
uneasy.
The support for North in
cluded a pledge from the Na
tional Republican Senatorial
Committee, which said it was
confident the controversial
Iran-Contra figure would
“wage a strong campaign to re
claim this seat” from Democrat
Charles S. Robb.
The statement was issued
by Bill Harris, the committee’s
executive director. GOP Sen.
Phil Gramm of Texas is the
committee chairman, but an
aide said he was traveling in
New Hampshire and unavail
able for comment.
A source close to Gramm,
speaking on condition of
anonymity, said the senator is
no fan of North but views it as
his duty to support the nomi
nee. The source said Gramm
also is a close friend of North’s
vanquished rival for the nomi
nation, former Reagan budget
director Jim Miller.
North won the nomination at
the state GOP convention Sat
urday and previewed his cam
paign theme with a fiery attack
on Congress and career politi
cians. A campaign video showed
the former Marine taking the
oath before the congressional
Iran-Contra committee, and af
ter flashing pictures of promi
nent liberals posed the ques
tion, “Whose side are you on?”
