n Brief Sandinistas lose Nicaraguan election after 10 years of rule
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — Opposition leader Violeta Barrios de Chamorro defeated President Daniel Ortega in a stunning rebuke to 10 years of leftist Sandinista rule in this war-weary nation, election returns showed today.
Sunday’s peaceful balloting — the freest elections in Nicaraguan history — was closely watched by thousands of international observers, and, with more than three-fourths of the votes in, Chamorro was winning nearly 55 percent.
The Supreme Electoral Council said that with 77.7 percent of precincts counted, Chamorro had 618,699 votes, or 55.2 percent, to Ortega’s 457,870 or 40.9 percent. Eight other parties split what little remained.
Nation: Jesse Jackson rules out mayoral run
WASHINGTON — Jesse L. Jackson announced Monday he will not run for mayor of the "dispirited" nation’s capital, but he refused to rule out a third bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992.
“I want to continue to serve, but not as mayor,” Jackson said. “At present, I believe that I may best serve by continuing work at a national level to change the direction of this country.”
Jackson’s political plans have been the subject of much conjecture since he moved to the District of Columbia last April. Speculation about a Jackson mayoral candidacy increased after Mayor Marion Barry's arrest last month on a cocaine possession charge and subsequent enrollment >n a substance abuse treatment program.

Rally held to demand divestment
By Dave Banks
Staff Writer
Amid cries of "Amandla (freedom)" and "Africa, Africa," anti-apartheid speakers and performers called Monday for the university board of trustees to halt reinvestment in South Africa until democracy is guaranteed for the nation's black majority.
The rally, held in front of the fountain opposite Tommy Trojan, and attended by about 100, was meant to celebrate the recent release of African National Congress (ANC) President Nelson Mandela and the ANC's scheduled meeting with South African President Frederik de Klerk to discuss possible paths toward democracy.
However, a representative from the ANC's Southern California chapter, Nkululeko Sowazi, a graduate student in urban planning, spoke cautiously about the changes occurring in South Africa.
"We feel that the release of Nelson Mandela is just a first step toward justice and democracy in our country ... it is because of the pressure from the international anti-apartheid movement that he was released, but his release does not mean the end of apartheid," Sowazi said.
The rally was sponsored by the USC Divestment Coalition and the university's South African Initiatives Committee, and hosted by Akin Odulate, president of the African Students Association.
The Vukam Mawethu, a 16-member choir directed by Pat Mwale, began the rally with African-in-spired vocal chants with anti-apartheid themes. The choir's name is Zulu for "people arise."

The university's most successful fundraising dinner, honoring Richard and Eileen Earner for their $150 million contribution to the Health Sciences Campus, raised more than $1.2 million on Feb. 13 for the upgrading of the Kenneth Norris Jr. Cancer Hospital and Research Center.
More than 700 people attended the black-tie dinner at the Beverly Hilton sponsored by the university's Cancer Re-
search Associates, said Gordon Cohn, director of public relations for the hospital.
Ron Stever, president of the associates, welcomed the guests and thanked them for their contributions. Stever also created a special challenge grant of $250,000 to support the fund-raiser, according to an article in Sunday's Los Angeles Times.
Dr. Art Ulene, the next speaker, said the hospital has outgrown itself. Ulene, chairman of the Norris Center, discussed the need for more space to treat the many people who need to be admitted to the
hospital, Cohn said. ,
University President James Zumberge, who also spoke, talked about his experiences at Norris as a cancer patient and about cancer in general, Cohn said.
Earner, chairman and CEO of the National Medical Enterprises, talked about his life, the people who helped with the project and his eagerness in getting this project done after many years, Cohn said.
The money raised from the dinner will go to the construction and endowment of a proposed addition to the hospital, he said.
