Mexican police end strike
with 632 arrests at university
MEXICO CITY (AP) -
Thousands of Mexican police ended
the nine-month occupation of Latin
America’s largest university Sunday,
raiding the main campus and arresting
632 students Sunday.
The police appeared to have full
control of the campus of the 260,000
student National Autonomous
University of Mexico after the 6 a.m.
raid. Among those arrested were eight
strike leaders.
“A democratic society cannot
allow the kidnapping of the national
university,” Interior Secretary
Diodoro Carrasco told reporters.
Striking students - some attend
ing a meeting, others sleeping -
offered no resistance and there were
no reports of injuries.
The raid, authorized by a court
order, was led by-2,500 federal police
officers armed with batons and
backed by city police.
It appeared to mark the end of the
lengthy strike, though some strikers
said the conflict isn’t over.
“We’re thinking of retaking the
installations,” said Alberto Gonzalez
Camacho, 27, a law student who
espaped the raid by running into hills
behind the university. “The govern
ment isn’t going to defeat us.”

U We re thinking of retaking the
installations. The government isn }t
going to defeat us.”
Alberto Gonzalez-Camacho
student
i ne sirixe, uirecieu oy a small
core of radical students, has been a
frustrating dilemma for the govern
ment.
Efforts to negotiate a resolution
had repeatedly failed. But officials
were reluctant to take the campus by
force because of fears of violence.
One of the darkest moments in mod
em Mexican history was a 1968 mas
sacre of striking students.
This strike began in April with stu
dents opposed to plans to raise tuition,
which had been just a few cents, to the
equivalent of $140.
The university backed off those
plans, but strikers refused to end their
occupation of the campus, pressing a
six-point agenda for reversing acade
mic changes and giving students more
power.
The strike has been marked by
sometimes-violent demonstrations
mat iiea up Mexico c.ny s most
important streets. Clashes occurred
between students supporting and
opposed to the strike.
Some of the worst violence
occurred Tuesday when anti-strike
students, backed by university securi
ty forces, took control of a university
affiliated high school. Strikers
returned later in the day and retook
the school, injuring 37 security
guards. Police then raided the school,
arresting 250 strikers.
Strike leaders added to their list of
demands the release of those arrested.
The university, meanwhile, obtained
arrest warrants for 430 people
involved in the strike.
A 12-hour negotiating session
ended Friday with both sides accusing
the other of intransigence. The stu
dents asked for talks to resume today,
but the university refused.
RHA questions ASUN fetal tissue bill
By Jackie Blair
Staff writer
After a lengthy debate, the
Residence Hall Association joined
the controversy over the use of abort
ed fetal tissue for research.
Last Wednesday, the Association
of Students at the University of
Nebraska passed a bill that allowed it
to ask the Government Liaison
Committee to lobby against the leg
islative bill that would make it illegal
to for state institutions *o use aborted
fetal tissue in research.
The RHA voted Sunday night to
recommend to ASUN that it recon
sider the vote and move for a position
of neutrality.
RHA decided to take part in the
issue because it has received numer
ous complaints from students that
ASUN misrepresented the majority,
said Jadd Stevens, RHA president.
Stephanie Voge, a sophomon
secondary education major and Abe
Residence Hall representative, said
“I think that ASUN should take th<
neutrality stance because the campu;
is so divided that you can’t truly rep
resent the majority.”
ASUN president And}
Schuerman asked the RHA to tabl<
the discussion until next week. Tha
way he could provide all the informa
tion to the RHA that ASUN used ii
order to make its decision to lobb}
against the bill. RHA voted on it any
way.
RHA’s recommendation woul<
also ask that ASUN and RHA worl
together to inform the students oi
how to contact their representative!
in the Nebraska Legislature so theii
personal feelings can be heard b}
state senators.
RHA can’t lobby against the stat<
bill; only ASUN can. But RHA can
: ask ASUN to reconsider its position.
I In other business, Doug
Zatechka, director of housing, spoke
: to the RHA about possible increases
; for room and board costs next year.
Zatechka said that housing
expenses have increased for three
r reasons; a 5.9 percent increase in
: electric bills; a 4.5 percent increase in
t employees’ salaries; and most sub
■ stantially, a 40 percent increase in
i employees’ health-care insurance.
r The proposed budget would raise
• room and board $240 a year for next
year’s incoming freshmen. “I don’t
l know what else to do,” Zatechka said.
: This increase would not affect
i older residents wh6 have already
; signed their housing contracts.
The proposal is going before the
r University of Nebraska Board of
Regents at its February meeting for a
: vote.
Correction
A legislative bill introduced by Sen. John Hilgert of Omaha would ban the use of aborted fetal tissue in research
by state employees and institutions, such as the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The purpose of the bill was
misstated in a guest view Wednesday and in the Quotes of the Week on Friday.
