About 400 people have died in recent weeks in black factional fighting, most of it centered in Natal, a southeastern province. Walesa may run for president WARSAW, Poland ? Solidarity leader Lech Walesa was quoted today as saying he will run for president of Poland in the next elections, trying to succeed the man who once imprisoned him and outlawed his union. The report by the stateowned PAP news agency could not immediately be confirmed with Walesa or his spokesman. But aides and colleagues of the Solidarity leader have long been saying he is considering a presidential bid. However, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, a close associate of Walesa's and editor of the Solidarity Weekly newspaper, said the leader's comments should be "understood as a general declaration, not connected with present events."

Compiled from wire reports Students By AARON SHEININ Staff Writer When pre-registration begins on April 25, USC students campus-wide will be able to "reach out and register" by using the university's new Telephone Information Processing System, better known as TIPS. Luke Gunter of the Office of the Registrar said pre-registration will all be done over the phone, but regular registration, which takes place at the beginning of each semester for Summer Session I and II as well as Fall 1990 and Spring 1991, will still be done at the coliseum because payment of fees still takes place at the coliseum. "Basically, the coliseum is used for money collecting. Since not a lot of our students pre-pay, this is necessary," Gunter said.

Thurmond, N By CAREN CAMPBELL Staff writer The national deficit and Eastern European unrest were the main topics addressed by Senators Sam Nunn, D-Ga., and Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., during a luncheon at the Koger Center for the Arts Tuesday. Before the luncheon, which was a part of USC's Critical Issues Program, faculty members and a handful of students were given the opportunity to speak with the senators. During the student-faculty session, topics such as the United State's reaction to Soviet aggression in Lithuania, the national deficit and the efficacy of the Democratic Party were discussed. Whi1<? Nunn said thp adminictratinn was soft-pedaling its response to the Soviet Union, he did not criticize President George Bush for doing so. He said Bush's criticisms could add fuel to the fire, and he felt the president's actions were wise because the removal of Mikhail Gorbachev was not in the interest of the United States or Western Europe. Thurmond said reducing the deficit should be the United States's priority considering the fact that Congress has failed to balance the budget in more than 27 years. "The interest on debt now is greater than social security," Nunn said. The interest on debt would be greater than defense expenditures if no more money were spent on defense in 1993, he added. Thurmond said he would favor a tax increase and allocating the "peace dividend," savings from cuts in defense spending, to help alleviate the budget deficit problem. The deficit's interest alone is more than $200 billion a year, Thurmond said. i to pre-rc "The system is running perfec problems." dents will be able to pay bills over the phone by using credit card numbers.

The deficit problem would have to be attacked through military cutbacks and ^gg new sources of revenue, he said. The deficit contributes to high interest rates and affects the United States' ability to compete in the world market, Nunn "The Warsaw Pact is like Humpty Dumpty. It's not going to be put back together again," Nunn said, addressing the fact that Soviet and Eastern European threat has changed significantly during the past two years. Nunn said cuts in spending would have to be rational and respond to the threat 1 hftrancp the TTnite/t States has suffered iM from past excessive military cutbacks by m Congress.
