The Gamecock Founded 1908 Eighty-one Years of Collegiate Journalism Monday Volume 82? No. 7 University of South Carolina August 21, 1989 Solidarity takes over By The Associated Press Tadeusz Mazowiecki returned to Solidarity's birthplace on Sunday and implored 10,000 cheering Poles not to lose faith as he tries to form the East bloc's first government led by non-Communists. The Solidarity activist who will KA DAI O ?-i rl * n nAvf I M + i/v i v/iaiiu o u^/Ai piling luiuidua met Solidarity chief Lech Walesa and other leaders of the independent movement to begin the daunting task of creating a government to confront disastrous economic problems and delicate political situation. Mazowiecki expects to decide by the end of the month how the government ministries will be divided among Solidarity, two minor parties allied with it and the Communists, a spokesman said. The Communists will continue to wield power through President Wojciech Jaruzelski, who nominated Mazowiecki as prime minister Saturday. The president will formally submit the nomination to the Sejm, or lower house of the National Assembly, on Monday. Confirmation is all but assured. Four decades of total control by the Communists have ended with the once-inconceivable success of a movement founded by Walesa and fueled by Poles such as Mazowiecki, who was imprisoned by Jaruzelski after the martial law crackdown to suppress Solidarity in December 1981. Solidarity took some time Sunday to celebrate. "Poland is alive," Mazowoiecki proclaimed, invoking the national anthem which begins: "Poland has _ .1 . . j - students j By MARY PEARSON Editor in chief A plan to make the 250-space com at Pickens and Pendleton Streets, a s has been changed so that the lot will by students and faculty members.

Walesa told the crowd: "This is our greatest achievement" since the Communists took power after World War II. "I ask you all to take responsibility for Poland," Walesa said. Mazowiecki, who edits Solidarity's weekly newspaper in Warsaw, drove with an associate to Gdansk in his red compact car. They attended Mass in a packed, overheated St. Brygida's church, where one man fainted virtually at the new prime minister's feet Then Mazowiecki and Walesa spoke from the rectory steps at the church near the Lenin Shipyard where Solidarity began in 1980, a site of countless rallies when the union was still illegal. "Today when we open this historic chapter, we must reject a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness," Mazowiecki said. "We can do it. I believe that we can do it." There was a small contingent of militant, anti-Walesa demonstrators in the crowd, who chanted, "We need bread, not a premier." ^ 1 know we need bread more * than a premier," Mazowiecki answered. Walesa asked for a show of hands of who was with him and who was against. Support was overwhelming. The two then met with the leadership of Solidarity and its parliament caucus to determine where they go from here. *et back 1 lots, one for student All students will muter parking lot changes proposed f< taff parking area, the different design; be shared equally student lots, said dii will only oe student ent Marie-Louise This change was i cided to split the utilize parking spac< s and staff, while campus in lots such for modifications Carolina Coliseum, ter Becker said. ;ould get.
