Trainer jet crashes
PENSACOLA, Fla. - A trainer jet
crashed Sunday afternoon on the
flight deck of the aircraft carrier
Lexington in the Gulf of Mexico,
killing an unknown number of people
and critically injuring five, officials
said.
The two-seat T-2 Buckeye
crashed shortly before 4 p.m. CST
while the World War II-era Lexing
ton, the Navy’s oldest carrier, was 17
miles south of its home port of
Pensacola, officials said.
A fire following the crash was put
out shortly after the accident, Coast
Guard Lt. Mark Kasper said in New
Orleans.
The Coast Guard sent a jet from
Mobile to fly a team of ordnance
experts in Panama City to Pensacola,
Kasper said. The Navy apparently
was concerned that fuel cells aboard
the jet might explode after being
damaged in the crash.

Guerillas bombard Afghan
capital; 4 killed, many injured
KABUL, Afghanistan -- Guer
rillas bombarded the capital and a
missile base for a second day Sun
day, killing at least four people,
and soldiers said the insurgents
tightened their grip on roads lead
ing to the capital.
• The guerrillas claimed 19
people at a wedding party died
when the government shelled a
guerrilla-held area of western
Afghanistan. "
A spokesman for the Soviet
backed government accused the
U.S.-supported Moslem guerrillas
of‘ 'cutting supply lines to impose
starvation on the people.”
In the laic afternoon, air force
planes bombed guerrilla-held ar
eas in the Paghman mountains,
about IS miles northwest of the
city. The guerrillas fire rockets
from mountains at a Scud missile
base.
The government acknowledged
firing Soviet-made Scuds at the
Salang highway to drive out guer
rillas. The route is the main supply
road from the Soviet Union to
Kabul.
At least 13 rockets hit Kabul on
Sunday. One hit the grain market
in the old section of town, injuring
one man. Several other rockets
crashed into residential areas, kill
ing four people, the government
said. At least 13 other peo, >e were
injured.
19 die in Algeria quakes
ALUitKa, Algeria - Two earth
quakes about 15 minutes apart struck
northern Algeria Sunday night, kill
ing at least 19 people and injuring
about 100, the Interior Ministry re
ported.
Most of the deaths were in the
Tipasa region 40 miles west of Algi
ers and in the town of Churchell on
the Mediterranean coast 60 miles
west of the capital, the ministry said
in a statement issued early today.
It said Prime Minister Mouloud
Hamrouche toured the hardest-hit
areas with his interior and health
ministers.
The French government an
nounced in Paris that it was offering
emergency aid to Algeria, a former
French colony.
The National Center of Astron
omy and Geophysics said the earth
quakes, at 8:15 p.m. and 8:27 p.m.,
were estimated at 6.0 on »hc Richter
scale.
It said the epicenters appeared to
be about 35 miles south of Algiers, a
city of 2.4 million people.
Soviets: Pact countries
can make own choices
WASHINGTON - The Kremlin
would not object if Hungary chose to
leave the Warsaw Pact or East Ger
many chose to reunite with West
Germany, Soviet officials said Sun
day.
A senior Bush administration offi
cial expressed surprise at the com
ments by Soviet party spokesman
Nikolai Shishlin and Foreign Minis
try spokesman Gennadi Gerasimov.
Previously, Soviet and Hungarian
officials have stressed that Hungary
would stay in the Kremlin-led War
saw Pact military alliance.
The Soviet statements followed a
declaration by President Mikhail S.
Gorbachev last week his nation had
no moral right to interfere with
changes underway in the Soviet bloc
nations of Eastern Europe.
Gorbachev also declared a will
ingness to dissolve the Warsaw Pact
if the West disbands the North Atlan
tic Treaty Organization, a step the
Bush administration has rejected as
an effort to cut U.S. influence in
Europe.
Shishlin, appearing on the ABC
TV program “This Week With
David Brinkley,’ ’ was asked whether
the Soviet Union would object if
Hungary decided to leave the War
saw Pact.
“We respect the Hungarian
choice, anyhow. We are not afraid of
these changes,’’ Shishlin said.
Shishlin also appeared to leave the
door open to reunification of West
and East Germany, which have been
divided since World War II. The U.S.
and West German governments his
torically have favored unification,
but the East German and Soviet gov
ernments have not.
Colombian extradited to U.b.
buouia, ^oiomoia -- me al
leged master smuggler of the
Medellin cocaine cartel was turned
over to U.S. narcotics agents before
dawn Sunday at a Bogota airport and
flown to the United States, Colom
bian authorities said.
The suspect, Jose Abcllo Silva,
was the fifth and most important drug
trafficking suspect extradited from
Colombia to the United States since
lilt V UlUlllUIdM ^uvuilllltlll Ut^dll a
drug crackdown 10 weeks ago.
He was being flown to Tulsa,
Okla., where he was wanted on
charges of conspiracy and distribu
tion of cocaine.
Abello was the fifth Colombian
extradited to the United States since
the government of President Virgilio
Barco declared war on drug traffick
ers Aug. 19.
VOLGYES from Page 1
place he “absolutely hated.”
"Everybody was terribly Ivy
Lcaguish and terribly ‘Oh well, you
know,’” Volgycs says as he purses
his lips and slicks his nose in the air.
"1 refuse la and I would never
consider teaching at a private univer
sity because I believe that education
is not an elite matter.”
Some of the finest undergraduates
anywhere can be found in Nebraska,
he says.
Volgycs says he wants to teach his
students “how to think, using the
noodle and having their own individ
ual opinions.”
He says he wants to stay at UNL
because the environment is condu
cive to free expression.
Volgycs says one of the times he
wasallowed to express himself freely
was in the early 1970s when he pro
tested U.S. involvement in the Viet
nam war.
Today, Volgyes still uses the Viet
nam war as an example of foreign
policy procedures in the four classes
he teaches on the political science of
various facets of Eastern Europe.
Volgyes recently returned from a
two-week trip to Hungary where he
got a first-hand view of the metamor
phosis from a communist economic
and political system to a more demo
craiic frce-market system.
He says experiences like this, his
writing, and his consultation to the
U.S. government complement his
teaching.
“I’ve gained insight that I can
transfer to the student,” he says.
“That’s the key to good teaching.”
But Volgyes’ life is not all work'
and no play, he says.
“I do have a reputation for liv
ing,” he says. “Hove fast cars, I like
good wines and the care of good
women and to care for good
women.”
At 53, Volgyes is a gourmet cook
and says he enjoys spending time
with his two daughters and his third
wife, De Dee.
Volgyes is comfortable with his
life. Whether he’s in the classroom or
at the stove cooking, he says, “I
know what I am and I know what I’m
not.”
To his students, he’s a “tough”
cookie, he says.
Volgyes says that from the begin
ning, he tells his students what he
expects from them, warning ihem
that class requirements are tough.
“I demand written work. I de
mand tests. I demand that they use
their heads,” he says.
But Volgyes says that once he and
his students reach a point of mutual
understanding, they find friendship.
“Most regard me as a friend who
has to be treated with respect or I’ll
bite their heads off.
“I can only be a friend if I’m
respected and I respect them.”
