JAYHAWKER NEWS! June 1989 CHI ACRACKS DO N Troops fire into crowds of unarmed protesters Many Chinese had been protesting since April, when student demonstrations had begun in earnest. Crowds numbering hundreds of thousands occupied Tiananmen Square in Beijing, demanding a demo- cratic government. Many students fasted, and some built The Goddess of Democracy, avariation on the Statue of Liberty. On June 3, about 10,000 troops moved from base to the outskirts of the capital, where they were halted by huge crowds and makeshift barricades. That night and for several days after, Chinese troops fired on demonstrators, both protesting and fleeing. Esti- mates of people killed were between 2,000 and 5,000, although the Chinese government continued to insist that only a handful of 'rumor-mongers' and ruffians had been 'punished for their crimes. The 38th Army, sympathetic to the demonstrators' cause, quickly moved as if to engage the 27th Army, which was responsible for the shootings. However, no civil war developed, and in-fighting was brief. Chinese Leader Deng Xiaoping appeared on state- run television June 9, his first public appearance since mid-May. Party Secretary Zhao Ziyang, who had favored adoption of some reforms championed by the demonstrators, was dismissed and replaced by Jiang Zemin, a hard-liner. Most of the politburo standing committee was fired and replaced by older, hard-line cohorts of Deng.

Solidarity won 99 of 100 seats in the newly created Senate and all 161 ofthe 460-seat Sejm available. The rest of the seats had been reserved for members of other parties under the terms of a deal between the Communist Party and Solidarity. In the elections, many Communist officials, although running unopposed, did not receive the mandatory 50M of the vote because voters crossed out their names. Party oficials ousted in this manner included the prime minister and the interior minister. Khomeini dies On June 3, the Iranian government announced that the Ayatollah Khomeini had died of a heart attack. He had entered ahospital May 23 and had successfully undergone surgery for intestinal cancer. During the funeral procession, so many followers wanted to touch the body of the dead leader that the body fell off the coffin and was partly trampled. Iranian President Ali Khamenei was elected ayatollah, and Speaker Hashemi Flafsanjani was elected president. Fiafsanjani visited the Soviet Union June 20-23, and he and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed a'declaration on the principles of relations,' in which the Soviet Union agreed to strengthen lran's defenses. , The Associated Press 20 Court rules on flag-burning and affirmative action suits The Supreme Coun ruled in June that flag-burning was expression protected bj the First Amendment and that white males should have more availability to file suit in reverse discrimination suits. ln the first case, two conservative justices voted in the 5-4 majority and one liberal justice dissented. New Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the opinion. ln the second case, the Court sought to further chip away at the affirmative action precedents set by the Warren and Burger Courts. Foley elected Speaker of the House Rep. Thomas Foley, D-Wash., was elected in June as Speaker of the House, replacing Jim Wright, D-Texas, who resigned after pressure from members of both parties and from many people across the nation regarding his being charged with 69 counts of violating of the House's ethics rules by a 12-member bipartisan ethics committee. Some of the charges centered on Wright's accept ance of gifts during 10 years from a businessman in Texas who had more than a passing interest in legislation. Also resigning was Tony Coelho, majority whip. Coelho had been questioned about 56,800 he had made on junk bonds bought for him by a friend. Foley had been majority leader and was elected without much ado. Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., was elected majority leader, and William Gray, D-Pa.,was elected majority whip.

Chang became the first American man to win in Paris since Tony Trabert in 1955. Sanchez, who had several upsets to her credit, added another with a victory over defending champ and top seed Steffi Graf of West Germany, 7-6, 3- 6, 7-5.
