President Mikhail S. Gorbachev
Tuesday made a passionate appeal
to the national legislature to preserve
the cohesion of the Soviet Union,
warning that "everything is collapsing."
He threatened to resign if the union is
not preserved.
As a seventh Soviet republic dec
lared independence Tuesday and central
authority in Moscow crumbled after
last week's coup, Gorbachev said: "The
U.S.S.R. should be maintained as a union
of sovereign states."

Huggins said in order to conjure up a
more reliable image of the new shuttle
system, the name of the buses was
changed from Shuttlecock to the Carolina
Shuttle.
"The name (Shuttlecock) signifies
laughter and unreliability," Huggins said.
"The Carolina Shuttle is not a laughing
