The Panamanian charges against the deposed dictator stem from the deaths of 10 officers who were killed during an Oct 3 coup attempt, Attorney General Rogelio Cruz said.

The Noriega government said the 10 were killed in a gunfight with loyalist soldiers, but Cruz and an investiga ACLU to Challenging Pulaski ROB BINGHAM Staff Writer The American Civil Liberties Union will represent the Klan in a lawsuit challenging Pulaski's refusal to allow the group to march on the Mar-. tin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. Barry Friedman, president of the Nashville chapter of the ACLU, announced yesterday that the group's legal committee had decided to represent the Ku Ktux Klan in the lawsuit "This has been a wrenching experience but one that every ACLU member has to go through," Friedman said. Well known Nashville attorney George Barrett said he planned to prepare the suit for the Klan on behalf of the ACLU.

"I don't believe what the Han stands for, but that doesn't give the city of Pulaski the right to restrict their right to peacefully demonstrate," Barrett said. The lawsuit expected to be filed this week, will claim the group's First Amendment right to freedom of assembly are being violated by the refusal of the Pulaski Board of Mayor and Aldermen to issue a parade per In behalf JOHN BIBB Sports Editor DALLAS An estimated 5,000 University of Tennessee football faithful gathered here yesterday afternoon, for the last official Volunteer pep rally of 1989. The fans used the occasion to offer their vocal support for UT on the eve of the Vols' match with Arkansas in today's nationally televised 54th Cotton Bowl Classic And while Tennessee Coach Johnny Majors was telling the cheering admirers the Vols would have to play "extremely well to welcome the New Year with a victory over this very fine Arkansas team," one Big Orange booster was predicting a landslide UT victory. "That's coaching talk," said Tom Glouster, who identified himself as "a Memphian who cant take much more bragging from that bunch of Razorback fans across the Mississippi River." Using his Big Orange shaker to keep time with the UT pep band's vigorous rendition of Rocfey Top, Glouster said, "Majors Is too smart to think we believe him. We're getting ready to see a world-class hog killing in tomorrow's Cotton BowL I'm predicting a score of 35-7 in Ten- nessee's favor." Another Vol rooter was a tad more cautious wife, Margo, were up-close participants in the pep rally.

'Tve been to bowls with the Vols many times, but since we arrived a couple of days ago, I'm rating the Cotton Bowl as second to none. Now, if we can win, and I think we will, 28-21, ItH be a perfect way end 1989 and start the next decade." Neal Glick, the fellow inside the animated Smokey the Hound suit said the Vol cheerleaders have had a ball for three days. Another UT senior cheerleader, Stephanie Fersner from Knoxville, says next weekend's national cheerleading finals competition here has kept her group busy. "The nationals are like a bowl game to cheerleaders, and we've curtailed some of our sightseeing and shopping until later, maybe Tuesday and Wednesday," Fersner said. Cameras and orange windbreakers were in abundance in the crowd that began assembling well in advance of the 2:30 p.m.

scheduled start "I'm shooting a picture of everything in orange that moves," said Virginia Moore from Chattanooga. A bystanding eavesdropper quickly said: "Lady, I hope you brought plenty of film. I've never seen so much orange." but still confident about the outcome of today's match. "We'll win, of course, but I'm saying it's going to be 35-17," said a rotund fellow wearing orange suspenders and a beard to match. He identified himself as Jeff Backus from Oak Ridge.

"When you follow the Vols as I do, your blood runs orange. That and a couple of squirts of orange hair coloring, accounts for my beard. Around Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, they call me Santa Vols." And while the giant Vol pep rally was spreading orange under a crystal clear Texas sky in front of Dallas' Union Station, another estimated 15,000 Vol boosters were spreading Tennessee green across the city. A spokesman for the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau says the 1990 Mobil Cotton Bowl Classic generates $20 million for the city's economy. "I reckon I've done my part," said Mark Rader, a spy at the Vol pep rally.

Rader said he lives in Helena, and "I've been in Dallas since the day after Christmas. My wife didn't buy any Christmas presents this year. Instead, she brought all our gift money to Dallas, and man (an she spend it fast I may have to arrange a loan to leave town."

The one parade permit issued for January by the city board went to Giles Countians United, which plans to hold a "brotherhood parade" on the afternoon of Jaa 13. A special session of the Pulaksi city board is planned for Wednesday to discuss a new request by the Klan to inarch on the morning of Jan. 13., mayor Hal Stewart said.

"The Pulaski city council has restricted the right of the Klan to express themselves and Is in violation of the First Amendment" Friedman said. The recently passed Pulaski ordinance limiting parade permits to one a month "sounds restrictive to me," Barrett said. "If you can do it to the Klan today, you can do it to a group with opposite views tomorrow," he said. I Turn to PAGE 2A, Column 3 HIGH 44 low" 21 See 2A THIS SECTION Editorials.

An expanded system would allow Nashville viewers to get The Learning Channel and American Movie Classics for which there is currently no space on the cable dial, Anne Brown-Atwill, Viacom's marketing director, said yesterday. The effect on a subscriber's monthly bill has not been determined, she said. "We havent even looked at that or put any kind of subscriber package together. We're so early talking about this, it hasn't even been discussed." According to Brown-Atwill, the expansion would require a capital investment of approximately $10 million, and Viacom officials need to be sure their franchise would lie renewed before making the investment The present contract is due to expire in 1994.

Metro Coundlwoman Jo Ann North said she plans to take some time to experience more of what Nashville has to offer.

"I show people around Nashville all the time, "but I never seem to have time to do things like go to the symphony, the ballet or even the movies. My New Year's resolution is to try to enjoy Nashville more." The Rev. Wallace Charles Smith, pastor of First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill, said his resolution involves a quest in 1990. "I plan to search diligently for a pair of the magic spectacles worn by NBC executives who thought Deborah Norville was prettier than Jane Pauley." The Rev. Carl Resener, who runs the Nashville Union Rescue Mission, resolves to take greater strides to conquer the plight of the homeless is his resolution for 1990.

"I want to do more for the homeless than just bettering the living conditions on the street" Resener said. "I want to focus more and education and evangelism. These are the two keys. "One teaches a man to make a living the other teaches a man how to live." BRANNAN ATKINSON Staff Writer Mayor Bill Boner says he has two New Year's resolutions, and If he resolves one, the other should follow naturally. "My New Year's resolution as mayor Is to try to resolve this whole issue of how we dispose of solid waste," Boner said, Boner said his personal resolve to spend more time with his family will be realized once he disposes of the garbage problem.

Government and civic leaders with weighty problems are not the only people who make New Year's resolu-tions. National Weather Service forecaster Doug Boyette did not resolve to bring tropical weather to Nashville. Personal finances bower him more. "I resolve to pay off this year's Christmas and not spend any money for the next 10 years." Deputy Police Chief John Ross's only resolution is to meet Police Chief Bob Kirchner's "Law of the Lean" weight restrictions for police officers. "My New Year's resolution Is to lose some weight" Ross said.

"I need to lose five pounds so I can make police standards." Other New Year's resolutions: Metro police dispatch supervisor Emaly West resolves never to say there will be another slow day at work. West said every time she says kindness, and Bush doesnt have a single one." And those lips, what are they really saying? "What they suggest is that Bush controls his speech very carefully," she said.
