mmmmmnr mJLmt Belgians evacuated in Zaire crisis BRAZZAVILLE, Congo ? Zairian guards evacuated nearly i 400 Belgians on President Mobutu Sese Seko's yacht Saturday after telling Belgian commandos not to intervene following two days of fierce rioting. The latest militarv unrisine began over pay and pitted troops loyal to Mobutu against soldiers supporting demands that the president keep his promise to end his 27-year rule and give power to a democratic government in the former Belgian colony. Belgian troops have arrived in . neighboring Congo, and a smaller W French contingent has moved into the capital, Kinshasa, to bolster security around the French Embassy. Hundreds of foreigners have fled to embassy compounds. The presence of foreign troops apparently helped bring calm Saturday to the capital, which is controlled by forces loyal to Mobutu. France and Belgium also sent forces to Zaire to protect their citizens during riots in 1991 in the ^ sprawling central African nation. ROTC continued don't flatter yourself.'"

"In South Carolina, the largest growing segment of the population that is becoming infected with AIDS is heterosexual women," John said. "And believe me, gay men had nothing to do with the spread of Uiis!" He said the military has a progressive HIV testing program ^ and soldiers are tested every six W months. Those soldiers who test HIV positive are reassigned to Fort Sam Houston in Texas or Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C. John added he doesn't believe this is a civil rights issue. "I don't like die term 'civil rights.' It's human rights ? basic human rights," he said. "When this country was found ed, we were guaranteed life, liberty and the pursuit of happi^ ness. What some people want to do is deny our pursuit of happiness and our liberty. You can keep your life as long as you're a second-class citizen." John said in order to achieve those rights, the gay community needs a highly visible leader, like those the African-American community has had. He said he believes the military could provide such a leader. "What we need in the gay and P lesbian community is a Malcolm X or a Martin Luther King Jr.," he said. "I think that if the ban is lifted, in die military you have some great orators who could be that Malcolm X, that Martin Caii25( |pj Planned ^ Off Forest Drive, 1/2 mile 1 IPSSHfli r Andre the Giant dies F of heart attack n PARIS - Wrestler and actor G Andre Rene Roussimoff, known ai in the ring as Andre the Giant, ai died of an apparent heart attack S while visiting France to attend his cl father's funeral. He was 46. ti at The 7-foot-4, 520-pound wrestler, a native of France, lived jr on a ranch in Ellerbe, N.C. His p body was to be cremated in a /I France and the ashes brought to a North Carolina. C( "He was lying in his bed when u] they found him," said longtime pi friend Frenchie Bernard. "He just went to sleep and never woke s< up." n; No other details were immedi- ^ ately available Saturday. Roussimoff also was an actor, best known for his role as the gentle giant Fezzick in the film "The Princess Bride" in 1987. The World Wrestling j* Federation announced the news of ^ Roussimoff s death, the Toronto ! Sun reported. 01 < from pagel ^ E Luther King Jr., and lead the 5 gay and lesbian community." John said he thinks the media needs to show average gay peopie instead of reinforcing stereo- ^ types. That is why he called his t( senator and offered to testify at g the Congressional hearings regarding lifting the ban. It is ti also the reason he plans to s< attend the upcoming gay rights d march in Washington, D.C., u widi a group of about 25 USC s, students. "I told them I'd drive," he P said. k John said many of the heterosexuals in the military are actu- ^ ally gay-positive and support the ban's repeal, but are afraid to ^ speak out because of possible treprisals. He acknowledged the a threat is a real one, with several pro-gay heterosexuals in his unit 0 already enduring harassment. d "I'm very open about my 7 views. People don't say too a much to me," he said. He added, however, that many of his ii friends defend his "heterosexual- n ity," presumably to protect him. C "I've got a friend who's in n ROTC also," John said. "He stands up for me and tells every- g one I'm straight. He thinks I like ai making people wonder." h< He said his hope lies with te younger soldiers. "The younger soldiers my age hi are more tolerant of diverse cultures and diverse lifestyles," he said. "There are still some old soldiers who don't accept blacks in the military or women. They deal with it, but they don't accept it." John hopes they will soon be forced to learn to deal with homosexuals as well. dw open Saturday 10-2pm Dnfidential Pregnancy Tests )w Cost Birth Control amplete GYN Exams Dunseling boition Services >-4908 Parenthood? rom Richland Fashion Mall ^mssm >ro-lifers arrested tear abortion clinic IREENVILLE ?

HEWLETT itaff Writer | Sexually transmitted diseases are ising rapidly for heterosexual coljge students, according to Eileen lorpita, the peer education coordina3r for Open Door, a counseling proram for students. "Up to 50 percent of the populalon of college-age students have ome form of sexually transmitted iseases, while only 20 percent are sing condoms consistently," Korpita aid. "It's not unusual for 50 percent of eople who have STDs never to now that they have them," she said. "The rate of STDs among collegege students is epidemic," she said, lecause the majority are not using ondoms, the potential exists that a irge portion of the student populaon of USC could be HIV positive nd not know it. For a student to determine if he r she is HIV positive, testing can be one at the student health center, 'esting is confidential, but not nonymous. Such anonymity can be obtained 1 Georgia and North Carolina, but ot for long. The Center for Disease lontrol is about to stop all anonyious testing.
