Out West Reagan opts to scatter missiles

WASHINGTON (AP)- Presidem Reagan has decided to scatter I 00 MX missiles among I 000 shdters in the \X' est and to build the B-1 bomb-er while a more advanced, radar-eluding Stealth aircraft is developed, sources said yesterday.

A key Senate source, asking anonymity, said he understands Reagan has not settled on which states will house the new generation of nuclear missiles. The possibilities include shuttling them, shell-game

fashion, on desert land in Nevada and possibly Utah, or basing some in existing Minuteman missile silos in other states.

The president is to announce those multibillion-dollar decisions tomorrow as he discloses plans to modernize the nation's strate~ic forces, which he contends have fal-len dangt·rously behind those of tht· Soviet Union.

One thousand vertical Minuteman silos are buried on Air

Force bases in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming. Four hundred of those arc large enough to accommodate tht• MX and would require little moditka-tion.

Of the -400, I 50 are controlkd hy Grand Forks Air force Base in North Dakota, 50 hy Maelstrom AfB in Montana and .200 by Francis E. War-ren AfB in Wyoming.

Postal Service hikes first- class stamp rate

Delaying a decision on where to deploy the MX wold not necessarily set back the 1986 period when the t1rst of the missiles is scheduled to be in operation, according to an Air Force spokesman, Lt. Mike Terrill.

In fact, Terrill said, the Air force does not expect environmental im-pact statements on all the areas un-du consideration - Nevada, Utah, Texas and New Mexico - to be completed until next month at the earlit·st.

WASHINGTON(AP)- The Post-al Service defied its rate-making watchdog yesterday and raised the cost ofa first-class stamp to .20 cents, effective Nov. I. Two minutes after it was announced, the move was challenged in court.

The two-cent increase will be the Pt>stal Service's first that has not been approved by the Postal Rate Commission, which three times rejected requests for a .20-cent rate.

The new price represents a .2 5 percent increase in first-class mail rates this year and a 233 pt·rcent in-crease since 1971, when a letter could be mailed for a nickel and a penny.

Rohert L. Hardesty, chairman of the Postal Service Board, defended the increase as "reasonable, equi-

Missionary or CIA?

Students suffer mistaken identity By DONNA ANDERSON whose student newspaper - the Daily Universe - is Assoctatetl Press Writer currently running CIA job advertisements.

SALT lAKE CITY (AP) - Traveling in pairs, dad in distinctive white shirts and black ties and wearing their hair dose-cropped, young Mormon missionaries abroad are hcing mistaken for CIA oftkers.

"I was accused of being CIA," said Floyd Rose, a for-mer missionary in Spain who is now a student at church-owned Brigham Young University. "We were different than most Americans and some of the people really believed it." Itt· said he was asked about the CIA at least onct· t·vcry two weeks.

"People wert· always asking LIS if we were CIA," agreed Mike McQuain, ;moth-t·r BYll student who did his missionary work in France. "People would

among missionaries in Peru. For laughs, he said, some of them would tease the Peruvians by whipping oft' a shoe and speaking into it. or do the same with a buzzing digi-tal watch.

"A lot of people here have language or foreign culture experience," he said. "That's what we look for."

Many young Mormon men spend two years proselyt-ing for the church. Those sent to foreign missions return with foreign language ability and knowledge of specific countries. BYlJ records indicate that about 6, 700 people in its 26,000-mcmhcr student body are former missionaries.

"We've never had any trouble placing anyone who has applied to the CIA," said Dr. Gary Williams, head of the BYU Asian Studies Department. "Every year, they take almost anybody who applies."

Former Mormon missionaries have the three qualities the CIA wants: foreign language ability, train-ing in a foreign culture and former residence in a foreign country, Williams said.

In addition, he said, "our Mormon culture has always been more supportive of the government than American culture as a whole."

In the late 1960s and the 1970s, Williams said, many universities took a negative view of the CIA and other government agencies and discouraged students from accepting their jobs. Throughout those turbulent times, however, the Mormon Church continued to encourage government service. he added.

Williams said a sense of conformity and .respect for authority which Mormons learn as missionaries, along with their abstinence from drugs or alcohol, may also appeal to the CIA.

But he also said that many former BYU students who land jobs with the CIA become disillusioned and leave after about a year. They tlnd they're SLUck in a Washing-ton office translating newspaper articles when they had hopt·d to go overseas.

I 5 cents to 18 cents in March, the Postal Service has lost almost S I .26 million, he said.

Without the higher rates, the Post-al Service would have had to borrow money to meet its costs, Hardesty said. He said this "would have been fiscally irresponsible."

Postmaster General William F. Bolger said the new rate is high enough to avoid another incrt·ase for at least two years. Such stability is important to large users who must know postal costs before deciding on mass mailing, he said.

The National Association of Greeting Card Publishers filed a suit challenging the legality of the in-crease at I 0: 19 a.m., two minutes af-ter it was announced.

The suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals contends the increase is dis-criminatory because it applies to some classes of mail while some-

Crash helmet saves life of ND law student By LYNNE DALEY Executive News Editor

Third-yt•ar law student Edward McNally is alive today thanks, he says, to a combination of the "luck o' the Irish" and a hit of divine providence.

McNally, 25, is temporarily confined to a wheelchair as the result of a two-car accident Sept. 20 ncar Union City, Mich., on Michigan Interstate 60 as he was returning to South Bend from the ND-Michigan football game.

Michigan state police said that McNally was driving west on M-60 when his car was hit ht·ad-on hy a car driven by Monica Szymanski, .2.2, of Grosse Point, Mich. According to Sgt. De raid Saltzgaver, the Szymanski vehicle swerved to avoid the car in front of McNally, which was making a lcfthand turn.

:vtomt·nts before the accident, McNally says, he had stopped his MGB convertible - "a tiny, link car" - because he was cold. "It was too nice t a day to put up the top," he says, "so I put on the motorcydc crash helmet I had in tht· trunk, just to stop the wind from whistling by my cars."

On impact, :vtcNally, who was not

wearing a seat belt, wt•nt through tht· windshield at what he says police told him was a rate of 120 miles an hour.

"Terry Paul (of the Michigan state police) said in 30 years he's never seen an automobile passenger wearing a helmet," McNally says. "He said that without it I certainly would have been dead."

McNaly was taken to Coldwater (Mich.) Community Hospital and later moved to Chicago's Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Cen-ter, wht·re he was trt·ated for a badly broken ankle, a collapsed lung and bruises.

The Northbrook, Ill.. native returned to South Bend Monday and began attending classes Tuesd:ty.

"Evt·ryone at Norc Dame has been just great," he says.

Nt·gotiating inter-class travel will he "tricky," he admits, but the law school, as the National Center for l.aw for the Handicapped, has "lots of ramps."

The inconvenknces art· all st·con-dary to McNally, however, who says he's "so happy" to lw hack. "I don't considt·r that this (the whedchair) is had,"' he says. ,·'I'm so incredibly lucky to be alive."

The federal govein.ment' S financial "New Year" begins today but there's no cause to celebrate in Indiana, where Reagan budget cuts will mean millions less for Hoosiers. State Budget Director Judith G. Palmer said Indiana will lose 525 million in federal funds just in the consolidation of 57 categorical grants into nine big block grants. The Department of Highways was in line for Sl05 million in federal'money, said department director Gene K. Hallock, but that was before President Reagan's plan for another 12 percent cut. That would bring the department down another $12.6 million to S92.4 million. The Department of Puplic Welfare isn't actually losing any money because the federal government pays for welfare by reimbursing the state. But Welfare Department spokes-man Les Green says tighteni~g the eligibility standards for food stamps, aid to families with dependent children and Medicaid will result in a savings of up to S29 million a year. - AP

After a 3 year court battle with his employers, a 35-year-oldJapanese cab driver won the right yesterday to wear a mustache, and was awarded the equivalent of 56,500 in compensation, Japanese newspapers reported. The out-of-court settlement ended a case filed against the Eastern Airport Motors Co. of Tokyo by Yos-hifusa Takeishi, who claimed he was not being paid by his employers because he wouldn't shave his mustache. As part of the agreement, however, Takeishi will retire on Dec. 31. A company spokesman said the firm still frowns on unshaven faces and hopes "to work out a contract with our union forbidding drivers from sporting mous-taches while on duty." - AP

Two priests and four laymen in Czechoslovakia have been sentenced to prison terms from I 0 months tot three years for "illegal trade" in religious literature, the Austrian Catholic news agency Kathpress reported yesterday. Foreign reporters and observers were not permitted to attend the two-day trial at Olomouc in Moravia. The trial was prompted by the discovery by authorities of a secret printing shop for religious writings, Kathpress said. It said that those sentenced Tuesday included a jesuit priest, the Rev. Frantisek Uzna, 40; parish priest Rudolf Smahel, 31, and laymen Josef Adamek, 67; jan Krumpholc, 54; jan Odstroil, 67 and josef Fleck, 61.

Two Baltimore, Md., men have been sentenced to six years in prison for an apparently racially motivated attack on a black man who lost an eye in the assault. Carl Michael Bull, 19, and Albert Wilson Sheckells, 18, pleaded guilty Tuesday to assaulting 42-year-old Rufus ~now on Sept. 7, 1980. The incident occurred in the Hampden section of Baltimore, where Snow was lost when he was confronted by the youths. In july, a third man, Dennis Layman, 19, received an identical sentence after pleading guilty to the same charge. -AP

Forty South Dade County, Fla., growers have filed a :SSOO million class action lawsuit here, charging that their crops were ruined because federal, state and local water agencies failed to drain water off their land. The growers claim that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the state of Florida, the South Florida Water Management District and Dade County kept drainage canals closed and wen: "grossly negligent." More than 20 inches of rain flooded portions of the south Dade area when Tropical storm Dennis passed over south Florida in mid-August.

Indiana residents want tougher laws[() curb the sale of alcohol to minors, the state legislature's Alcoholic Beverage Study Committee learned yesterday at the first oftwo public field hearings. The 16-member committee, which is part ofthe General Assembly's Alcoholic Beverage Commission, was in Richmond to get citizen input on about 18 of 106 issues the committee has addressed in the past three months, said Rep. Marlin K. McDaniel, R-Richmond. McDaniel, the comittee chairman, said the second field session will be Oct. 7 in Lafayette. After that, the committee will return to the statehouse for voting sessions on Oct. 14 and 21. joyce Lammott, who described herself as a non-drinking mother from East German-town, told the legislators she was frustrated with state laws that are too lenient toward teen-age drinking. "I would estimate that 75 per-cent of the 15-, 16-and 17-year-olds around here are drinking," she said. "I would say alcohol is a bigger problem than drugs."- AP

Middle East Congress negotiates peace force

WASIIINGTON (AP) - House and St·natc negotiators agreed yes-terday to spend S 12'; million to help opt·ratt· a Middle East pt·acekeeping force in the Sinai Desert, hut harrell stationing any American troops thae without prior approval of < :ongrcss.

The agreement came as lawmakt·rs worked on a multihillion-dollar stopgap spend-ing hill to keep the government run-ning after midnight, the heginning of the new fiscal >car.

The llousc and Senatc passcd dif-ferent versions of thc measure, and congrcssional leadcrs expressed hopt· that a compromisc could he

worked out in time. The legislation is designed to provide funding for government programs through Nov. 20, hy which time Congress is ex-pectcd to have completcd work on most or all of the I 3 regular ap-propriations hills.

Also to he resolved were disagree-ments over proVISions in the Senate-passed bill to give memhers of Congress a liberalized tax break, iift the S2';,000 limit on outside income senators may carn from speeches, and raise thc pay cap affecting about 46,000 high-ranking federal workers from sc;o, 112 to !';7500.

The provision relating to the Sinai

peacekeeping force was a relatively minor section of the bill, but Rep. Clarence Long. D-Mo., sparked a lively debate when he said that granting the Reagan administration's request for S 12'; million without restictions would be a ''financial Gulf ofTonkjn Resolution."

The Tonkin Gulf resolution was used frequently by President Lyn-don B. Johnson to justil)' for American participation in the Viet-nam War even though Congress never voted a formal declaration of war.

M~dical pro~ession en Joys prom1nence

Sen. Robert Kasten. R- Wis., said, "the process of peace in the Middle East is more important than the process of a committee referral" in Congress.

The money represents the llnited States' share of financing the peacekeeping force that will monitor Israeli withdrawal from most of the Sinai Peninsula in ac-cordance with the Camp David ac-cords betwC:'en the Jewish State and .Egypt.

The history oftht: American medi-cal profession is punctuated by the low reputation it enjoyed in the mid-19th ccntury and its subsequent dimh IQ prominancc, ohscrvcd Dr. Ronald L. Numbers, chairman of the department of the history of mt·dicine at the University of Wis-consin at Madison.

Dr. Numhers, a puhlishcd author in his fidd, said the medical profes-sion was looked upon as "merely a tradt·" in the 1800s when he spoke Tuesday night to a crowd of about 80 at the Center for Continuing Education. He was the second of den·n speakers in the "Professions in American History" lecture series sponsored by the history depart-mt·nt.

II is address was titled "Medicine: the development of a profession."

In the late 1700s and early 1800s, tht• medical profession in Amerfca was highly regarded. Dr. Numhers said. Many state legislatures awanh:d special privileges to doc-tors which included legislation allowing the profession to run its own licensing boards.

By 18.30, however, the medical profession began to decline in prestige, he said, due mainly to lowered professional standards. Many less-than-qualified medical schools - with no admission re-quirements or clinical instuction -graduated a flood of incompetent doctors. "Too often one's ability to pay tuition rather than his ability in medicine determined whether he would get his diploma," Dr. Num-berssaid.

At this time, tht· rise of a number of well-received sectarian groups promoting the idea of self-healing led to a radical reversal in legisla-tion. States began to repeal laws giving doctors special practicing privileges so that by 18';0 only two states had laws restricting the practice of medicine. The practices of these various sects subjected the profession to ridicule, Dr. Numbers stated.

In 1847. in response to this chal-lenge to medical professionalism, tht· American Medical Association was formed. "Its first action," said Dr. Numbers. "was to draw up a code of ethics that not only outlined a doctor's duty towards his patients and peers but also the patient's duty tYwards doctors."

This organization immediately pushnl for Latin, Greek, writing skills, and geometry as prerequisites for becoming a doctor. Also, it ex-tt·nded the length of the medical curriculum to three yt·ars.

Evt·ntually. Dr. :"'umbers noted. the A.M.A. was able to bring about tlw re-establisment of lisccncing hoards and stall" rq~ulations that re-quirt•d a hachclor's tlt-grt·e from an atTrnlitt·d schooL Many poor s{·hools disappeart·d as educational requirements tightened.

The re-organization of tht· A.:\I.A.

in 190 I hrought it much more power. he said, as it passed more stringent liscncing laws and educa-tional requirements. By 19 30 medi-cal schools required a bachelor's degree for acceptance and included heavy clinical laboratory training in their programs.

The elevated standards of medical schools and their increased quality of education brought the profession credibility. By 19';0 the profession had achieved the prominence it en-joys today, Dr. Numbers said. "Medical education differs from that of other professions in that even a graduate of the worst medical school can be considered com-petent, whereas there can be very good and very bad lawyers," he noted.

The United States, Israel and Egypt have agreed to have the peacekeeping force in the Sinai by March 20, 1982, prior to the scheduled Israeli withdraw( from the area on April 25, 1982.

The force is slated to consist of about 2, 500 personnel, including an American contingent of about 1,200.

Under Long's prodding, the House and Senate· negotiators agreed that in voting the funds, it would specify that no troops would be allowed in the area without "prior authoriza-tion hy Congress."

When the guys at Miller asked me to write an ad on writing, I said, "Forget it. Not even if you held a gun to my head:' So they held a bottle of Lite Beer to my mouth.

They're a pretty persuasive group. THUGS TO MUGS

If you're going to write anything, know what you're talking about. And that means three things: Research, research, and more research. The more you know, the more you can tell your reader .

Take my characters. A lot of them I base on actual people. There's this buddy of mine who pops up in every book I write. In one story he's a cop. In another, a pri-vate eye. Once, I mCide him a millionaire. Using him not only helped make character development a heck of a lot easier, he was so carried away by the rich image, he bought me a lot of free dinners (and a lot of Lite Beer from Miller). So use the people you know as models.

Even locations should be based on real things. If you're writing about a bar, know that bar. Hang out there. Watch the bartender. The customers. Whatever they drink, you drink. When they drink Lite Beer, you drink Lite Beer. Re-member-research is most fun when you soak up as much subject matter as you can. It can only help you paint a better picture.

HI, DOLL No caper is complete without dames

(or ladies in proper English). Experience has shown me that in mystery writing, the sexier the dames, the better. Experience has also shown me that sexy scenes make great punctuation marks.This is where research has the greatest potential. Use your own discr.etion in this matter. But when you write about it, don't be too explicit. That way, your reader gets to paint a more vivid picture.

by Mickey Spillane

CAPER TO PAPER O.K., you've got your characters, loca-

tions, and dames lined up. Now comes the good part: Putting your caper to paper. There's no mystery to it. As long as you write the ending first, the rest will follow. Write short, terse, to-the-point sentences. Be as clear as possible. And make sure you've got the right stuff around for when you get thristy. After all, writing is pretty thirsty work.

I suggest a couple of mugs of Lite Beer- who ever heard of a caper that didn't involve a couple of mugs?

Why Lite Beer? It's a lot like me and my books-great taste, less filling (some people can't get their fill of my books), and always good to spend time with.

At any rate, follow my advice and, who knows-you might turn out a heck of a story. Or you might turn out to be a heck of a Lite Beer drinker.

Taiwan reunification

China offers autonomy PEKING (AP) - China offered

Taiwan reunit1cation terms yeste::r-day that for the t1rst time mention letting Taiwan leaders join in run-ning the Communist government while ket:ping control of their island nation's local afi·air.

The offer, madt· on the eve of Na-tional Day marking the 32nd an· niversary of Communist rule, was eonLaint:d in an interview with Mar-sahl Ye Jianying, the country's top parliamentarian and the equvilant of head of state.

A spokesman for the Nationalist Chinese government, which tied to Taiwan in 1949 aftt·r losing tht: mainland to tht: Communists, said Ye's offer contained nothing new and was intended to subjugate the people on Taiwan under Com-munist rule.

"Tht· only way to bring about na-tional reunitkation is to abandon the Communist system," said spokesman Dr. James Soong.

While a high·ranking Chinese army officer told reporters that the purpos~· of Peking's overture was to reduce fears of the mainland among peopil' on Ta!wan, Wt:stern diplomats saw it as aimed at the United States.

The diplomats, who asked not to be named, said one aim appeared to he to make it harder for President Rt:agan to justify arms sales to Taiwan, and to prepare tht: Chinese public for worsened lJ.S.-China rela-tions if the sales go through.

The sense of urgency in tht: latest proposal, the diplomats suggested, resulted from tht· desire to remove the: Taiwan issue as a thorn in ll.S.-China relations.

Another goal of the reunification campaign, observers say, is to polish the tarnished reputation of the Com-munist Party, which suffered greatly during the 1966-76 purges of the Cultural Revolution.

Ye's proposal follows numerous

is adopting a reasonable, tlt:xible position while it is the leaders on Taiwan who have been blocking a peaceful solution.

China formerly talked of

"liberating" Taiwan by force, but now it says it prefers peaceful means.

While various parts of the proposal had been revealed before, it was the first time that China offi-cially offered government positions to Taiwan leaders.

The kind of posts Taiwan officials could have in the central govern-ment would be subject to negotia-tion, the Chinese officer who brief reporters said.

In his interview with the ofikial Xinhua news agency, Ye said, "People in authorily and representa-tive personages of various circles in Taiwan may take up posts of leader-ship in national political bodies and participate in running the state.''

North Dining Hall situation improves By JIM PLAMONDON News Staff

The long lines that frustrated many hungry Notre Dame students at the North Dining Hall during the first few weeks of classes have ended, said john Garrity, manager of the hall.

Last we::ek many students com-plained of wailing up to 20 minutt:s before:: getting served, e::specially at II: 15 a.m. when many classes art: lt:t out simultane::ously. Garrity, howeve::r, has calculatt:d the waiting pt:riod to be only eight minutes.

Robert Robinson, dirt:ctor of food servict:s, said he believes part of the problem is cause::d by the lack of workers during the:: busy hours. Many employet:s have classes during that time period and it is not fe::asible to have tht:m work tilr only a few

minutes, he said. "The opt:ning of Pasquerilla and

St. Ed's have certainly contributed to the problem," Robinson said.

One answer to the problem, Robinson proposed, would be a return to eating at certain assigned dining halls.

But Garrity insisted that this solu-tion is not logical. "It would bt: a great inconvenience to the stu-dents," he said, "if they were forced to walk all the way to the:: South Dining Hall while their classes were right by the North Dining Hall."

He said that students should realize:: what times are busy and, when possible, avoid them. The people should be educated as to what lines are open at what times, he said, and the problems should disap-pear.

Arms sale

Opposition grows to Saudi deal WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate

Republican Leader Howard Baker Jr. told President Reagan yesterday he does not have tht: votes to clear the S8. 5 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia, and Secretary of State Alexander M. Haigjr. hurried home from the United Nations to try to save the deal.

Baker told reporters he thinks the president still can win the congres-sional test, but opponents now have the upper hand.

"It is in trouble but it's not beyond salvaging," Baker said he told the president.

for joint lJ.S.-Saudi manning of the planes in an effort to mollify Congress.

Haig is to give the Senate Foreign Relations Committee a closed brief-ing this morning, presumably on progress toward that compromise.

Haig's decision to return to Wash-ington was preceded by high-level staff meetings through the night in New York. A senior administration official who asked not to be named said of the sale, "We're taking it hour by hour."

Haig had been scheduled to meet

with the foreign ministers of Canada, Mexico, Portugal, Tunisia, Syria and Pakistan. An official said Haig, who is to return to New York tonight, would try to reschedule the ses-sions.

Haig was overruled when he urged keeping the A WACS sale separate from the rest of the package. He believed the sale of the planes would be endangered by in-clusion of Sidewinder missiles and fuel tanks to increase the range of the f.J '5 jet fighters the United States has sold the Saudis.

" think Ronald Reagan's going to get the AWACS through," Baker said. But fur now, he told reporters "We don't have the votes.''

A .30-day clock for congressional veto of the sale was to start running later in the day with the administra-tion's formal submission of the sale to Congress.

Porno workers stage 12 -hour strike and win

If the House and Senate have not rejected the S8. 5 billion sale by Oct. 30, the deal goes through.

It includes five Airborne Warning and Control System radar planes plus Sidewinder missiles and longrange fuel tanks for 62 Saudi f. 15 jet fighters.

The administration says the sale is vital for defending the Saudi oil supply but opponents call it a threat to Israel and a compromise of super-secret equipment.

Haig canceled meetings with six foreign ministers at the United Na-tions and hurried back to Washing-ton to take charge and try to save the sale.

Earlier, Haig sent Ambassador Richard Murphy to Saudi Arabia with a new compromise proposal

CHICAGO (AP)- Employees of I I adult bookstores were back on Ihe job peddling dirty books and movies yesterday after they won their main demand. in a 12-hour strike: payment of legal costs when they are arrested in police raids.

"We've been more effective than (Moral Majority leader) Jerry Fal-well," said Art Martinez, one of three store managers who engineered the wildcat walkout of 51 employees Tuesday in the downtown and North Side locations.

Managers Martinez, Chris Skoglund and Charles Dunham met with representatives of the stores' operator, the Capitol News Agency, and negotiated an agreement that brought employees back to the job at 8:30 p.m. The stores are open around the clock.

Skoglund said wages were not a big issue, although employees arc unhappy over low pay. Martinez said: "we only make S5.50 an hour, and we're supposed to pay S I, 700 for a lawyer? That's nuts."

A spokesman for Capitol News Agency said the company did not renege on picking up legal gal tabs. "This issue was misconstrued, that's all, and all points prior to the job ac-tion have been settled," said the spokesman, who asked that his name not be used.

Among complaints, Martinez said, were the firing of employees who close their stores to take lunch breaks and the periodic dismissals of managers

Pyschological warfare

Solidarity conden1ns fear tactics ANSK, Poland ( AP) - The in-

dependent union Solidarity accused Poland's Communist authorities yes-terday of waging a "kar campaign" and "psyd10logical \varfarl· against tht· nation."

"\Ve arc warned we may lose our national indcpl-ntkncc," the resolu-tion said. "We do not possess tanks and truncheons as a means of com-pulsion. It is rather our conviction that we art· strong because we arc right, and in the last analysis because we have the right to strike."

The rt·solution was passt·d after Solidarity's national nmgrcss opened a tkbatc on a program it said could save Poland from catastrophe without taking it out of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. But the Kremlin blasted the draft as a political mani .fcsto aimed at countcr-rt·volution.

Tht· program blanll·d centralized authority for bringing the "country to ruin" and said the independent

union was aware that Poland faced the possibility of bloodshed if the country tries to abandon the Com-munist systt·m.

At least three days arc expected to be spent discussing the program, which calls for more union control over state enterprises and increased press freedom, among other things.

"There could be very, very few amendments and very, VtT)' few changes," a Polish journalist close to the year-old independent labor federation said. "The program is very clear cut and should survive mostly intact."

The 39-pagc document says: "The union is elaborating its program at a moment when the country is threatened with catastrophe. We cannot accustom ourselves to living in the crisis. We must get out of it.

"The union grew out of the revolt of Polish society which had ex-

pcricnccd, in the course of nearly three decades, the constant breach-ing of human and civil rights," it added.

It blames the "ruling system" which it says is "based on unlimited authority of central party and state institutions" for bringing the "country to ruin."

In Moscow, the Soviet news agency Tass declared, "This is not a document of a trade union, but a manifesto of a political party that claims leadership of society and of the country."

· It said while the program blames Poland's Communist authorities ti>r ruin, "it is common knowledge that the present situation of anarchy and dislocation is entirely ·on the con-science of the extremist leaders of Solidarity and other counter-revolutionary forces."

' 'Getting Out ' ' raises interesting issues In this somewhat sheltered,

middle class world of a mid-western Catholic university campus, not many have heard the name Marsha Norman. Yet Marsha Norman may very well be one of the most important playwrights of our time. Her plays arc not par-ticularly funny, nor are they romantic in any sense of the word. They ·do not even move one to tears in any way we might be ac-customed to. What they do convey arc incredibly powerful, poignant looks at certain aspects of society that most of us never sec, or even know exist.

Getting Out is such a play. This brilliant new drama explores one woman's inner struggle with her past as she attempts to escape a vi-

cious circle of crime and poverty. Getting Out concerns Arlene, an ex-con just released from prison af-ter having served an eight year term for murder. Although she has truly changed during her incarna-tion, she returns to find that not only is she still treated as she was before, but is now held in higher suspicion and contempt. Arlene is constantly haunted by the rebel-lious, hateful person she used to be. This "Arlie" is played by anoth-er actress, and provides an interesting theatrical device as she plays out for us various scenes from Arlene's memory of her past.

In Getting Out, Marsha Norman presents us with some disturbing questions about ourselves and the structure of our society. Director

Julie Jensen believes that " .. the whole issue in this play is one of class and one of sex." As most of us belong to the middle and upper classes, it is difficult, if not impos-sible, for us to understand the life options available to persons in the lower classes. All our lives we've been told that if we work hard keep our noses clean, and get a fe~ breaks, we will be successful in anything we choose to do. We've never had to make a choice be-tween barely surviving by washing dishes for $95 a week, or selling dope or hooking to make better money. As Jensen says "The choice really isn't: 'Do I want to be a hooker?' The choice is: 'Do I need ten dollars?' " "For us, the gate is open;" Julie

Consider the Plunge T.J. Conley

For most Notre Dame and Saint Mary's students, a reference to "the American City" produces a variety of conflicting images. Everything in the city becomes lar-ger than life, a monstrous com-plexity we can never hope to understand. Either the city is im-agined as an endless line of bombed-out buildings, grim housing projects filled with people destined to live thier lives in poverty and despair; or else the city is a magic place, filled with tall glittering buildings and enormous department stores, a place of limit-less opportunity for all.

Reality, of course, is somewhere between these two images. The Ur-ban Plunge is a 48-hour immersion into urban life which allows us to see past these stereotypes and get a glimpse of the realities of inner-city America. Sponsored by the Center for Experimental Learning, the Notre Dame Theology Depart-ment, and the Office of Justice Education at Saint Mary's, this one-credit course is an opportunity to discover the truth within the American city.

The emphasis on the Plunge is personal experience. Before my Pl~Jngc, most of my knowledge ab~ut urban life had come from a

sociology textbook and the rear window of my car as I drove through the city on my way to the subcrbs. I had never experienced the city other than as an area to pass through. On the Plunge,_ however, l lived in the city and became part of it for 48 hours. l changed from a passive observer to an active participant. Perhaps for the first time, I became involved with a city and its peoples. And my view of it changed dramatically. To another plunger, any other way of viewing the city "would be like looking in a fishbowl and observ-ing ... tsk, tsk, it must be awful. The only way one can know how awful, how painful it is, is to live that life, even if it is for only 48 hours."

Viewed from this new perspective, the city becomes more than just a two-dimensional landscape. It comes alive, and its complexities become apparent. As my understanding of urban life changed during the Plunge, many of my simplistic explanations and unjustified assumptions were shat- · tered. I could no longer afford to hide behind naive theories and cal-lous objectivities. Becoming directly involved in urban life chal-lenged me to move beyond these superficial understandings to a

deeper recognition of the dynamics of the situation,

Obviously in 48 hours it is im-possible to realistically experience urban life or to come to grips with all of its complexities. The purpose of the Urban Plunge is not to provide a comprehensive survey oft he American city. Rather, it is an introduction, an opportunity to spend two short but intense days in this new environment with the hope that we will be able to ask some basic and essential questions afterwards. On my own Plunge, I was bombarded with images and impressions for 48 hours, and af-terwards I felt drained, almost burned out. Yet the real challenge came after, as I tried to sort out all that I had experienced and find some meaning in all of it. I am cer-tainly no closer to finding answers now that I was before my Plunge, but at least now I have a sense of which questions to ask. This is the real purpose of the Urban Plunge: to raise the crucial questions which challenge us to search for answers and solutions in the future. As one plunger suggested, "One might ask oneself, 'What can I do to improve the situation, and for that matter what am I doing to create it?'"

smiles, "but from birth, these people arc in a different category. Never once, was the world open to them. They had to make choices from a very narrow range." No one, particularly not a woman, talks about going to college; they barely even talk about going to high school. The important thing is to get a job, any job, in order to survive. Then, if one can not quite make it on that job, crime becomes the only available option.

In Getting Out, Marsha Norman addresses these complicated issues, plus many other powerful, but disturbing questions. Many ad-

Goldwater attack on New Right not laudable l am perhaps disqualified from

writing a column to detach myself from probably my favorite person in all this world, but I have been travelling, and everywhere I go I hear quoted Sen. Barry Goldwater's views on the desirable division be-tween religion and politics. It was last week that Senator Goldwater blasted the New Right. saying, "I don't think what they're talking about is 'conservatism.·... The religious issue of these groups (abortion, school prayer) has little or nothing to do with conservative or liberal politics," said the senator. ·'One of the great strengths of our political system always has been our tendency to keep religious issues in the background."

Here, l think. is where the senator is mistaken.

"Religious issues" are of two kinds. denominational and universal. Catholics may argue on and on whether the clergy should be per-mitted to marry. and Jews on whether this practice or that violate kosher standards. These arc probably denominational issues, and one would not expect the disputants to take them before Congress (although suppression of Mormon bigamy in the 19th century was an interesting exception).

But other concerns of religion are universal in character. Jews - and Christians- believe in the integrity of man, and in his derivative unas-sailability. Accordingly they concert to construct a society in which these beliefs are retlected. If one· s religion teaches that murder is wrong, its mandate against murder extends beyond its own !lock. It becomes, then, not only morally wrong but criminally wrong for a Christian to

Kosidowski feature article is reassuring

Dt•ar Editor: My husband and I each attempted

to read aloud Paul Kosidowski's "A Message from Ann" (The Observer, Sept. 17) to our younger chiltlrcn. Neither of us succeeded in finishing the article for we were overcome with emotion.

We too have a daughter named Ann - our Anne is a freshman at Notre Dame. We also have a Down's Syndrome l'hild- Benjamin, age 9. About the time that Paul Kosidowski received the hirthtlay card from his si~ter Ann. our Anne received a note from her youngest brother Ben. It too was laboriously printed, emhel-lishetl with superfluous pum:tuation, and expressing that same kind of wonderfully open and accepting love.

similarities in letters or names that brought forth our emotional response to the article. Instead. it was the fact that Paul already knew, at his age, what we as parL'nts have only recent-ly learned =-- that God places the

murder another Christian - or for a Christian to murder a Hindu, or for a Moslem to murder an atheist.

Now the whole of the movement toward emam:ipation in the 19th cen-tury was ultimately grounded in religious understanding. It isn't that a non-believer can't come out against slavery. The ethical autonomy of the skeptics is perfectly capable of com-ing up with congruent moral-civil determinations. But those who believed in God and devoted them-selves to attempting to understand his Gospels came- however slowly-to the conclusion that slavery was in-compatible with God's work. John Brown, swinging on a sour apple tree, may (like Nat Turner) have profoundly misjudged what methods the Bible enjoins, or tolerates. But he was moved by the Bible and gave his life in pursuit of his vision.

There has seldom been an age in which "the religious issue" has been more pointedly directed at social policy. When Senator Goldwater in 1964 courageously voted against the civil rights bill he did so profondly believing that sections of it were un-constitutional in that the hill gave to the government powers reserved un-der the Ninth and Tenth Amend-ments for the state and for the people. But the denunciations of Senator Goldwater were sharpest from men of the cloth, notably the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who in his exhorta-tions to racial equality relied primari-ly, even as Abraham Lincoln had done, on the word of God.

Now what is an American citizen to do when confronted, as he was 20 years ago, with a Supreme Court that forbids prayer in the public schools notwithstanding that the prayer in question had previously been ap-

William F. Buckley

On the Right

proved by Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders? This affront -defended by liberals, opposed by conservatives- on the liberty of the people to inject the presence of religion in the schoolroom isn't the kind of issue we're supposed to leave to God to settle.

The rebuke of the Supreme Court for its arrogation of power, and its distortion of the First Amendment, is something tha only the people, acting through Congress and if necessary through a constitutional amendment, can handle. And the need occasional~ ly to discipline the Supreme Court used to be one oft he favorite compul-sions of Senator Goldwater. ·

Abortion either does or does not kill human beings, even as Southern chains did or did not fetter human beings. The decision that blacks were human required the last word in political struggles: a civil war. The abortion fight will, everyone hopes, stop short of that. But to say that it is purely a religious issue, in the sense that eating fish on Friday is purely a religious issue, underestimates the obligations of the moral man to seek an answer to a question that's trou-bling him today as the issue of slavery was yesterday.

I happen to know Barry Goldwater very well, and when he says, " I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person l must believe in A, B, C, and D- just who

do they think they are?" the senator is reacting to that kind of overbearing moral smugness that often brings out the cantankerous in one. The kind of thing that brings forth "Nuke the Whales" buttons in young people sick and tired, to use the senator's phrase, of the rodomontade of the fashionable moralists. Every time I see the Rev. William Sloane Coffin Jr. I am tempted to publicly regret that we didn't use the atom bomb in

South Vietnam.· So the morality bombastic set should take note of the threshold of human irritability, which is lower than they suppose. But Senator Goldwater, God bless him (and this is a universal, not a denominational injunction), should cautiously retreat from the line he ha~ taken.

Israelis are paranoid on A WACs sale

Dear Editor: In response to recent articles on

your editorials page, l feel com-pelled to comment on the proposed sale of the A WACs to Saudi Arabia. The situation seems simple.

The United States wants to sell some highly sophisticated advance-warning airplanes to a good ally, Saudi Arabia, a country that is also the largest producer of crude oil in the Middle East today. Israel, and the majority of Jews in the United States, are opposed to this proposed sale, claiming that the A WACs would endanger Israeli security. Therefore, Congress is being pressured by American Jews to vote down the sale, while the Reagan ad-ministration is heavily lobbying for

the sale of the A WACs. Yet the Israelis feel that the

A WACs would somehow be used against them. These fears are without foundation. These fears are without foundation. Because the Saudis would be handling aircraft new to them, American technicians would be on the scene - and will always know what the Saudis are doing. In addition, a compromise is now being worked out that would ensure joint Saudi-American crews on the planes at all times; this would be another safeguard against any possible Sautli threat to Israel.

I see a different reason, however, why Israel is opposed to the A WACs sale. Ever since Israel declared its in-dependence in 1948, it has had several contlicts with various Arab states, to the point that the Arabs (with the exception of Egypt) are considered the enemy - even in peacetime. Israel continually fears the Arabs; Israel is are paranoiac in that they think the Arabs are always planning and plotting against them. This is why Israel bombed Iraq's nuclear reactor last June. Israel feared, without real proof, that the Iraqis were going to build an atomic bomb at that site designed for use against Israel. So Israel carried out an air assault that caused destruction

. and death. In a similar way, Israel fears what the Saudis would do with the A WACs.

Now Congress must decide this issue. If it listens to the paranoia of the Jewish people and votes down the sale of the A WACs to Saudi Arabia, then the United Stats will be hurt. The prestige of this country will be jeopardized by the direct defeat of our president's wishes. If Congress acts responsibly and votes for the sale, not only will the security of Saudi Arabia be increased, hut also overall world security will be greatly enhanced.

'Fat Chicks' abuser defends South actions

Dear Editor: This letter was born when the con-

troversy of "No Fat Chicks" began. But the attitudes expressed were within me long before I came to Notre Dame. Although l can only speak for myself, I feel I share my sentiments with many in that I have little pity. and often no kind words for grossly overweight people who don't care about themselves. (This is to exclude those, who for mental or physical reasons, have no al-ternative.) In fact, I become sad-dened, frustrated and angered with

their lack of concern for the God-given gift of a healthy body.

What it all boils down to, in light of the "guarding of the ice cream," is that people are taking notice of the abuse others are causing themselves. Some might say that it's none of their busness, but if something is going wrong it is only right that something be said about I it and get it into the open. True, it is dreadful that some may have felt ridiculed by those ac-tions, especially if they are putting forth a sincere attempt to change. Every person that has ever been on a diet realizes that much encourage-ment is needed and a little criticism goes a long way in destroying con-fidence.

This letter is not meant to belittle overweight people who arc trying to gain control of their bodies. But for those who don't respect their bodies and grow fatter and lazier with each succeeding "Sundae," maybe this letter and the actions of the ice cream watchers will spark some guilt and cause some to evaluate their situa-tion. I'm definitely not saying everybody should be or even want to be thin, but I do believe that everyone should do everything in their power to strive to he the best they possibly can mentally, spiritual-ly, and physically.

Phelps hypothesizes. "You mean to tell me I have a chance when I go in there and tell the kid that Notre Dame is the greatest place in he world, but he'll have to work his butt off in class?"

It's happening all over the country. The NCAA is currently in-vestigating UCLA for n:portedly giving automobiles to Rod Foster, Darren Day and others in an effort to get them to enroll in the school. San Francisco recently came off proba-tion for making illegal payments to a player. An investigation has been conducted into the practices of Wic-hita State in Kansas and Iona in New York.

"I'm telling you, it's a jungle Obt there," Phelps says. "And the worst thing is, the NCAA is doing nothing about it.

. "The president of USC publicly admits that over 300 athletes were admitted to the school who never should have been. and that athletic department officials had been in-volved with the admissions process. What did the NCAA do? Nothing. The president of the university ad-mits that they cheated and the NCAA looks the other way. Unbelievable."

Phelps has been talking to basket-ball people all over the country, and he says he's amazed at the stories he's hearing.

"Rumor has it that we lost three recruits last year for a total of S 120,000. Each one of them got $40,000. I guess 40 grand is the going rate. It used to be 20.

"They tell me I lost a recruit the year before for 40,000 bucks, too. You'd think the price would've gone up in a year."

If you're wondering how schools get away with it, pull up a chair, and take a lesson from Digger. He's

checked it out. "It's all cash," he says. "There's no

way anyone can prove anything. All a coach has to do is call a big booster, somebody who's a good friend. That guy contacts two other people, who each raise some of the money needed. They pay the kid them-selves, and the coach is never in-volved in any way. There's no way to trace anything back to him.

"Sometimes the kids are bought off, sometimes it's their parents, and more often than not, the high school coach is dealing as well. There are a lot of coaches out there living in houses you just can't buy on a high school teacher's salary."

At age 27

Wozniak lives out dream ByEARLRIX Sports lf'riter

It was a childhood dream of Marc Wozniak to come to Notre Dame. At thl· age of 27, the five-time junior college All-American has finally made it, and he is one of the reasons why prospects for this year's Irish cross country season are so good.

\X' ozniak brings a penchant ti>r hard work and a record of proven sUClTSS from Southwestern Michi-gan Junior College. In addition to achieving All-American status tlvt· times, Wozniak ran for the li.S. Cross Country team and was the top American tlnisher at the \X' orld Stu-dent Cross Country Champinnships. In June he became the National Junior College Champion in the

• marathon with a time of 2:27.-t I. In order to get to Notre Dame,

Wozniak has had to get good grades at Southwestern Michigan, support his wife and three children, and run extremely well uvcr the past two years.

Wozniak turned down several scholarship offers after high school and decided to go to work. He said he fell into a routine of having a couple of beers after work and slow-ly got out out shape. "A few times I walked up a tlight of stairs and got winded," says Wozniak.

After a five year layotl he decided to get back into shape and started running again. "I guess I wanted a
