World: Reserves join Soviet effort to end Caucasus ‘civil war’
MOSCOW — The Defense Ministry called up reserve troops Thursday to help 29,000 soldiers quell ethnic violence in the Caucasus that has killed at least 66 people and wounded more than 220.
Defense Minister Dmitri T, Yazov said the additional troops were necessary to maintain order and possibly to enforce a curfew.
At least 10,500 Armenians reportedly have been evacuated from the Azerbaijani capital of Baku, where rampaging Azerbaijani mobs began the violence Saturday.
Extremists have obtained heavy weaponry, including helicopters, tanks and ground-to-ground missiles in what Interior Minster Vadim Bakatin on Thursday called a “civil war.”

The scheduled renovation of Bovard Administration building will cost about $8-million to bring it up to earthquake safety codes, university officials said Thursday.
Though the 68-year-old building's renovation is still in its planning stages, the repair is designed to enable Bovard to meet city structural codes that in recent years have become more strict.
Currently the university does not have an earthquake upgrading budget and has been forced to borrow funds for the Bovard renovation, said Thomas Moran, vice president of business affairs.
Bovard's two wings, one of which houses the office of the president, will undergo the majority of the work, Moran said.

U.S. Rep. Edward Roybal, a leading legislative warrior for the elderly, visited the university Thursday for a tour of the Gerontology center and to meet with faculty and staff who briefed him on Alzheimer's disease programs and research.
"The congressman is a strong supporter for research on aging, especially Alzheimer's," said Edward Schneider, executive director of the Gerontology center, who guided Roybal's tour.
"Mainly, we just want to show him what we're doing and thank him for continuing funding for our research," he said.
The Gerontology center is ranked by the U.S. Dept, of Health and Human Services first, ahead of 1600 programs, Schneider said.
-	Roybal, representative for California's 25th Congressional District, sits on the House Select Committee on Aging and the Subcommittee of Health and Education. These are the committees in which some appropriations bills originate, said Robert Biller, vice president for External Affairs.
"It is critical that he (Congressman Roybal) understands where the frontier of research on aging occurs to ensure that the funding flows right," Biller said.
Roybal is the only Representative from a southwestern state on the committee, the congressman said ! "I am not responsible for where the funds go, but I feel responsible," Roybal said.
