TOKYO - Police seized nerve-gas solvent, $7.9 million
in cash and 22 pounds of gold Wednesday at two
dozen sites linked to a secretive religious sect that
calls itself the Sublime Truth.
Several sect members were arrested in a kidnapping
case, but police refused to say whether they
were also being questioned in Monday's subway attack.
Ten people were killed and nearly 5,000 sickened
by the poisonous gas released during rush hour.
The cult-like group Aum Shinri Kyo has denied
any role in the attack. There was still no known motive
and no claim of responsibility.
In a chilling development, the secfs leader, Sboko
Asahara, was reported to have delivered an apocalyptic-sounding
message Tuesday to followers in the
Russian Far East.
"The time has come at last for you to awake and
help me," Asahara said in the message, broadcast
Wednesday night by Japan's NHK television. "You
must act to ensure you do not have any regrets about
death."
The police raids provided frightening evidence
of the sect's hold over its followers.
WASHINGTON (AP) ? The United States suffered
a record trade deficit in January. Mexico's currency
crisis cut into exports while demand for foreign
toys, televisions and heavy machinery pushed
imports higher.
The Commerce Department reported Wednesday
that the imbalance in goods and services jumped
68.4 percent to $12.23 billion, up from a December
deficit of $7.26 billion.
This represented the highest deficit in goods and
services since the government began tracking this
data on a monthly basis in 1992. Looking just at
merchandise, the deficit of $16.3 billion was the highest
in U.S. histoiy, surpassing the old mark of $15.9
billion set in December 1985.
The new report painted a bleak picture of America's
trade fortunes at the beginning of the year. Exports
of aircraft, normally a standout performer,
sank to a 17-year low while the United States suffered
its first ever deficit in big-ticket capital goods.

Today is Thursday, March 23, the 82nd day of

In 1983, President Reagan first proposed development
of technology to intercept enemy missiles ?
a proposal that came to be known as the Strategic
Defense Initiative, as well as "Star Wars."

fees paid by each full-time student. Students currently

student activities. The amount allocated for these activities

and former Student Government Treasurer. "Areas that
have involved student activities in the past that weren't funded
by student activity fees are now funded by student activity
fees, especially staff support areas that are directly related
to student activities. That's where we have a big drain in
funds. The Task Force has set up a goal of how much money
we want to have to bring us back up to 1991 (activity fee) funding
level."
The Task Force proposal also reoiganizes the way student
activity fees are allocated. Currently, the SG Student Finance
Committee is res})onsible for the allocation of funds. Once the
Committee finds out how much money has been allocated to
