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.

Missionary or CIA?
Students suffer mistaken identity By DONNA ANDERSON whose

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

Turley said the CIA label was a standing joke
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

table and fiscally responsible." Since rates were increased
from
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

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

"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

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

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

another 1 1 inches of rain on still-flooded parts of the area. -

game with Gary Roosevelt High School. The Gary school has a
predominantly black population. Valparaiso has one black among its

The provision relating to the Sinai

but Rep. Clarence Long. D-Mo., sparked a lively debate when he said
that granting the Reagan administration's request for S 12';

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."

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.

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

tion is to abandon the

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.

paid in case of arrests. That was a big item. But we also got the
promise of no retribution, more job security, reasonable work
breaks and more open dialogue. After 21 days, the lawyers for both
sides will meet and firm an agreement."
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."
There also is a 1 5 percent com· mission on film sales .

"We called the strike strictly on our own - we are not
unionized, just united," said Skoglund. "We have no immediate plans
to join a union or form one ourselves, but it's possible."
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

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

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.
"Dear Anne, You an:.,, 10 lady! Love, Ben However, it \II~~
neither the
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-

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
