Alfonsin had wide support to quell the third rebellion in the past 18 months and pledged to "suffocate" it. But government troops repeatedly refused to attack or restrict the rebels' movements.

The Interior Ministry had said the government would "in no way negotiate the positions invoked by the fractious groups." Authorities used tear gas to disperse protesters who threw rocks and bottles at the rebel-held arsenal in Villa Martelli, a working-class neighborhood nine miles from downtown Buenos Aires. With some government officials calling the revolt a coup attempt, officials on Saturday called on the public to rally for democracy. Tens of thousands of people gathered in plazas nationwide to support a democracy that has suffered six military coups since the 1930s. The insurrection began Thursday when 53 members of an elite coast guard unit robbed an arsenal and deserted their base. from page 1 both of which cited political and military sources.

The rebels had demanded an overhaul in the military hierarchy, a bigger military budget and an end to prosecutions for human rights abuses committed during the 1976-83 military dictatorships. It was not immediately known if any of the rebels other demands were met. The uprising was the worst threat to President Raul Alfonsin since his civilian government replaced a disgraced military dictatorship in 1983. The government had refused to negotiate with the estimated 500 Enrollment From Associated PreM reports BUENOS AIRES, Argentina A four-day revolt by hundreds of heavily armed soldiers ended Sunday after the army chief of staff agreed to resign, giving in to a key rebel demand, Argentine news agencies said.

Rebel commander Col. Mohamed Ali Seineldin met with army chief Lt. Gen. Jose Dante Caridi and worked out an agreement by which Seineldin not his men accepted full responsibility for the insurrection, and Caridi would step down as the army's top official, news reports said. The agreement was reported by the private Noticias Argentinas and Diarios Noticias news agencies, From Associated Press reports DHAKA, Bangladesh The death toll from a cyclone that pounded southern Bangladesh and India could surpass 2,000, officials and news reports said Sunday.

The number of people still missing ranged from 3,000 to 5,000,. according to newspapers and officials in the two countries. According to the Red Crescent, the Moslem equivalent of the Red Cross, at least 1,115 people died in the storm in Bangladesh. A navy officer who toured some of the hardest hit areas along the coast put the death toll at 1,300. Dhaka newspapers, however, said the tally had reached 1,500 and was likely to climb higher.

In India's West Bengal state adjoining Bangladesh, the official death toll reached 500 on Sunday.

Officials silent on shuttle SPACE CENTER, Houston The military mission of space shuttle Atlantis continued under a shroud of official silence Sunday, although there were indications the orbiter would not return to Earth.before Tuesday. Atlantis is under the command of the Air Force, which has said it would give 24-hour notice of landing but otherwise maintain silence unless an emergency arises.

"The University needs to do everything it can to make it a more welcome place a more inclusive, caring community," he said.

"At some levels, we're doing a reasonably good job but we need to increase commitment." Wallace said he is encouraged by the efforts of student and community groups towards increasing black enrollment. Eleanor Morris, director of the Office for Scholarships and Student Aid, said General Administration provides a fund for a Minority Presence Scholarship, which is designed to encourage black attendance. The scholarship is for incoming freshmen and is not renewable for the following years, she said, but students who return can receive financial aid from other funds, if needed. at UNC, he said. "We have some programs in place that are certainly very strong in getting students to the campus," Davis said.

Harold Wallace, vice chancellor of University affairs, said one goal of new recruitment programs is to "try to intensify and increase involvement on the part of students, as well as black alumni." This is the first year for the Chancellor's Minority Scholars Program, which recognizes 25 incoming freshmen as Chancellor's Minority Scholars, awarding them an annual $1,000 scholarship. The program is still being developed, Wallace said, but it has been extremely well-received. Another new program is High School Honors Day, a follow-up to Project Uplift. All students who attended Project Uplift in the summer and are in the top 15 percent of their high school class are invited to attend the Honors Day in the fall. ards.

Those students need to work particularly hard to stay at UNC, but many of them are not aware that they came in at a disadvantage, he said. Herbert Davis, associate director of undergraduate also said retention is UNC's biggest problem and if black students can be encouraged to stay at UNC, then enrollment will also improve. It is especially disturbing when students leave for non-academic reasons, he said, and programs should be aimed at those people. "We would think that with the very good students we get here, we should have a good retention level," Davis said. The most successful recruitment programs are those that bring students to the campuses, Davis said, such as Project Uplift, a weekend visit for minorities who are rising high school seniors.

Bringing students to campus helps erase many of the misconceptions or fears they may have about being a minority student Open 24 Hours 114 7.
