Higher education may get additional funding By Therese Cox Legislative Correspondent

Legislators were still waiting Wed­nesday night for the governor's revised revenue estimates, which,.ifincreased, could result in higher funding for the state's colleges and universities.

Both the Senate and the House rec­onvened in early evening in order to take action on the combined budget for next year, but they adjourned when Gov. Arch A. Moore failed to provide the needed figures. ·

The matt.er was to be taken up today after Moore promised to present his revisions to the Ffoance Conference Committ.ee.

House Finance Chairman George Farley, D-Wood, said he and Sen. Jae Spears, D-Randolph, hoped to work out the budget differences with Moore rather than be faced with overriding his possible veto.

"So far Sen. Spears and I tend not to believe it (that Moore is using political artistry to delay the budget bill) even though other House conferees do," Far­ley said.

Spears said the trio is trying to work out the governor's concerns. But, she said, "I keep passing on to the governor that the troops are getting restless.

'' I keep passing on to the gover­nor that the troops are getting restless. We need to get a budget.

today in order to have enough time to override a possible executive veto before the session ends March 8.

Orginally, Moore had told Farley and Spears that the required revenue estimates would be available on Mon­day . . This was delayed because he was in Washington for the governors' con-· ference until Tuesday.

The West Virginia Constitution mandates that the budget not exceed these required revenue estimates. And it has been reported that another $17 million to $23 million is n~ed to fill budgetary holes.

It is possible that the Board of Regents may be allocated another $7 million dollars if expected revenues are high enough.

If the forecast holds true, 1cene1 like this will be common. Snow 11 predicted throughout the remainder of the week.

"We need to get a budget," Spears said. "We'll weave our concerns together."

As it stands now, the proposed higher education budget stands at $201 million dollars - just over $1 mil1ion more than what higher education cur­rently receives. Both houses plan to pass the budget

BOA will consider .council's stadium position By Brent Cunningham . _Reporter

Although Huntington City €:ouncil will consider backing M.a,yor Robert Nelson's proposed site f.oriMarshall's football stadium Friday, impact of the council' S decision Ort which site the Board· of Regents chooses is questiona­ble, said Thomas E. Cole, interim BOR chancellor. ·

"Whatever decision the city council makes will have to be considered by the BOR," Cole said. .

Norman Glaser, spokesman for Save Our Stores, will present a resolution to

council Friday, urging them to back the site supported by the mayor and his organization. The site is from 5¼ Alley to 7th Avenue between 20th and 23rd Streets.

"Marshall wielda a .big clqb in Hun­. tington, but our proposal makes sense," Glaser noted. "But there is no way to determine political maneuvers."

Glaser said he hopes city council will have the "backbone" to stand up and be counted. "(Marshall President Dale) Nitzschke has the institution behind him, all we have is our families and democracy."

According to Glaser, their site would not effect Marshall's job count. "Many

more jobs would be lost with the businesses.''

City Council Chairman Garry Black said he believes it is proper to respond to any group or organization which feels they have a legitimate concern. "We have a reepo~ibility to the pub­lic," he said. ·

Black Diet wi-th Nitzschke and Glaser six months ago. He said this was the last time he talked with either until Monday's city council meeting.

Council member Bill Evans said although he doesn't know what the council's decision will be, he hopes the BOR will consider their position when malcing the final decision.

endorsed raising the legal drinking age to 21 and approved the sale of wine and beer at all municipal fairs and festivals.

The state must raise its drinking age to 21 by Oct. 1 or risk losing some its federal highway funding. There is no "grandfather clause" in the bill, meaning people now 19 and 20 would not be allowed to drink again until their 21st birthday.

Nitro HECK'S STOCKS PLUMMET Beck's Inc. stock prices tumbled after company

The Nitro-based chain of 125 discount depart­ment stores said Tuesday that a year-end audit turned up the loss, contradicting company records that had indicated a profit.

Company chairman Russell Isaacs said the snafu was a "breakdown due to human error and a changeover to a new computer-based account­ing system."

When news of the mistake reached the New York Stock Exchange, the company's $tock dropped dramatically.

Washington LAUNCH PRESSURE DENIED A key space agency offi­

cial denied Wednesday he ~• pressured industry engi­neers to drop objections to launching the shuttle Challenger in cold weather and said there was no clear evidence that freezing temperatures could cause critical booster rocket seals to fail.

Lawrence Mulloy, who supervises the boosters for NASA, said he questioned the logic of launch-eve objections from engineers from Mor­ton Thiokol, which produces the rockets, but "I certainly didn't consider it applying pressure" to alter their view.

Testifying at a televised hearing of the presi­dential commission investigating the Jan. 28 explosion of Challenger, Mulloy said he was surprised when Morton Thiokol engineers opposed the launch for fear that cold. weather would damage critical safety seals on the boosters.

Boston MOBSTER FOUND GUILTY A federal jury found Gennaro J . Angiulo,

Three of the remaining four defendants, includ­ing two of his brothers, were found guilty on the criminal enterprise charge. One of his brothers, Michele, was found innocent on the charges of running a continuing criminal enterprise.

battled rioting sparked by a mutiny in the security forces, who smashed cars and burned hotels in an overnight rampage near the Great Pyramids. Gunfire echoed through downtown Cairo, where authorities ordered a curfew.

There was no official word on casu~lties, but one dead man was seen lying on a street in the southern suburb of Maadi, where many Ameri­can, Israeli and other foreign diplomats live.

President Hosoi Mubarak, facing the most serious domestic unrest in his four-year tenure, called an emergency Cabinet meeting. An Inte­rior Ministry statement said at least 10 rioters had been arrested.

Cold Lake, Alberta CRUISE MISSILE FAILS The sixth test of a U.S. cruise missile over

Canada ended in failure Tuesday when the unarmed weapon crashed into the Beaufort Sea moments after it was launched from a B-52 bomber.

The failure came a little more than a month after the cruise missile in the fifth test over Canada also crashed. In Washington, Capt. Jim Berg, spokesman for the U.S. Strategic Air Command, said it was the eighth cruise failure in 54 tests overall.

U.S. Air Force officials at the scene refused to speculate what might have gone wrong.'

"We're not sure what happened," U.S. Air Force Maj. Fred Harrop said A board of officers will investigate, he added.

The missile was to have flown from the Beaufort to a target 1,550 miles away at the Primrose Lake Air Weapons Range near Cold Lake.

Berlin FOUR DIPLOMATS EXPELLED The Allied military council ordered the expul­

sion Tuesday of four North Korean diplomats for illegally shipping U.S. helicopter parts to their homeland through East Germany, officials said.

The diplomats were accused of routing Hughes D-500 helicopter parts toward North Korea. The four ordered out by the council that oversees West Berlin's security were accredited by East Germany but worked out of West Berlin, the U.S. diplomatic mission here said.

O~inion Editorials Commentaries Letters

Our readers seeak New Marshall stadium not o-ne of state's needs To the editor:

Lies on a national scale include telling us the Nicaraguan people hate their despotic govern­ment and are ready to overthrow it. The Reagan administration does not mention that the government of Nicaragua has won interna­tional awards for dramatically improving the health care and literacy of the people. Nor do the Reaganites mention that all Nicaraguans can have guns in their homes, so that if they wanted to revolt against a repressive government, why haven't they? If we go in with troops, we will find out why_: because the Sandinista are the Nicaraguan people's duly elected leaders. ·

In the same way, in Reagan's first term, George Bush went to the Philippines, hugged Marcos, and called him a great defender of

democracy, and we were suppose to believe it. Well, the Philippine did (believe) in that lie. But six weeks ag,o our government and the media were informing us that Mrs. Aquino hardly had a chance, and there was nothing we could do about it.

On the ,local scene we're also fed the good old boys' line. We,.re told if we will spend· $22 million on bonds for a football stadium, it will help -Huntington's economy. So would $22 million spent on an arts center or just about anything else, for that matter. The "lie" is in the asser­tion, not trumpeted as fact,' that we "need" a stadium. No one even debates that anymore. But "wants" aren't "needs." We NE"ED a new prision at Moundsville where we are ware- · housing human beings as if they were dogs.

Religion answer .to ·society's problems .To the editor:

It's amazing how in a world as modem as ours we are .doomed to repeat history by just turning toward politics to solve the problems facing us today. Man cannot progress fully when his aims have turned toward materialism . . . Corruption has held back the ever driving goodness of tb,e human spirit. Maybe it's time we opened our eyes to the chaos, and that we carried our volition into action by declaring war on the immoral attacks on human society. Are we not reaching a point where we should decide to wage peace instead of being constantly threa­tened by annihilation through war?

The solution lies not in banning nuclear wea­pons, prohibiting the use of poison gases or out­la wing germ warfare. Even though these measures are necessary elements of the peace process, other forms of"war techniques are read-

ily available and the quest for supremacy will continue... ·

The solution lies in the development of the spiritual nature of man in. a religion that upholds the principles of unity of mankind, the ·oneness of God and that no religion is superior to another. In the sight of God, all religions are one and each derives its inspirati9n from the same divine source. The fact that they differ from one another is to be attributed to the vary­ing requirements of the age in which they appeared. Each prophet left a promise of a day when God's will would be done on earth. The Baha'i Faith declares that that day has come.

Brison should put paper issue to rest To the editor:

Who is responsible for The Parthenon? A perplexing question, no doubt. Student Body President Andy Brison contends that Marshall students pay fees each semester for student publications, but they do not have a say (as to) what is printed. I (infer) from his statement that he feels stu­dents should have some· recourse to the articles written ... in The Parthenon. Has Mr. · Brison ever heard of the editorial page? How about guest commentaries? Both are seen frequently in The Parthenon.

I suggest Mr. Brison take the offer of Dr. Nell C. Bailey, dean of student affairs, and the Publications Board and give his rebut­tal. This has been an issue since last October and it is time it was put to rest. There are more pertinent issues pertaining to the students than the flooding of The Parthenon with the Brison vs. The Par­thenon conflict.

Mr. Brison must realize that' he holds a public, political position. If he doesn't want his every inove scrutinized, then he shouldn't have taken the office.

Obviously, The Parthenon felt justified in printing Brison's comments. I'm sure if The Parthenon felt a retraction were in order (it would have printed one). In the meantime, I suggest Brison find a map that will lead him to the editorial page. Please, no more epilogue, a conclusion is suffice.

Herpes Virus Victims may be affected ·by_ five fornis of the·virus

By Kimberly Rice Reporter

Although the widespread problem of herpes affects some areas of the country more than others, a leading physician for John Marshall Medical Services said, "Herpes is no more a problem at Marshall than it is on any other college campus."

Genital herpes now affects about20 million Americans, most of which are between the ages of 18 and 29. Dr. Robert D. Belshe said there are five types of herpes viruses and oral herpes that occur in virtually all people.

Committee to discuss food problems

The residence hall Food Ser­vice Committee will meet again today to hear complaints about the effectiveness of the commit­tee and continuing problems with the food service in Twin Towers and Holderby cafeterias.

At its meeting last week, the Food Service Committee and other residents debated the work of committee members in solving complaints about the food served in the cafeterias.

Dale Rice, Princeton graduate student and leader of the walk out Feb. 12 from Holderby Hall cafeteria, said he wants the com­mittee to provide more informa­tion to residenh about the committee's ·activities.

The Food Service Committee is comprised of representatives from each of the residence halls. Members are chosen by the Hall Advisory Council.

In addition, ARA Food Service management representatives from Twin Towers and Holderby Cafeterias are members of the committee. ·

It is the responsibility of stu­dent committee members to take complaints about the food from residents to the ARA Food Ser­vice representatives on the committee.

Because of the numerous com­plaints at the Feb. 20 meeting, Ramona Orndorff, manager of student housing, requested the remainder of the problems be addressed in today's meeting.

Deadline near for applicants of grant program

Saturday is the deadline for students seeking financial assistance through the West Virginia Higher Education Grant Program. The West Virginia Financial Aid Form (WVF AF) must be completed on or before this date to assure priority consideration.

There are two different editions of the application available. One form is for West Virginia residents. There is a similar type form for out-of-state stu­dents. These forms must be completed if the student wants to apply for finan­cial aid programs at Marshall, state scholarship and grant programs and federal financial programs including the Pell Grant.

Non-faculty employees to get additional d-ay off By Peter W. WIison ' Reporter

Marshall University non~faculty employees will receive an extra holiday this year on March 28, according to President Dale F. Nitzschke.

Payroll officer and Classified Staff representative Gloria J. Rickman said. the Staff Council voted to take Good Friday off based on a request from Nitzschke to formulate and vote on a date. He said he would approve it.

Last year a bill was passed which gave Board of Regents employees and state employees an equal number of holidays. In the past, when Gov. Arch A. Moore declared a state holiday, only state employees qualified. Now, both state and BOR employees will receive days off when the governor declares a state holiday, Rickman said•

So far, the governor has not declared Good Friday a state holiday, but Rick- ·

man is optimistic he will. However, Marshall will receive a holiday for March 28 regardless of whether Moore declares Good Friday a holiday for all state employees, Rickman said. ·

If the governor does declare Good Friday .a holiday, classified staff will get. an extra day off, said Paul J. Michaud, director of personnel. Michaud said because classified staff employees received late notification about t:wo half-day holidays the gover­nor gave all state employees last year, they are entitled to take a full day off this year.

If the governor declares Good Friday a holiday for all state employees, clas­sified staff will be due.another day off, Michaud said. Rickman said she did not know when that holiday would be.

Of the 13 days classified staff members receive off from work annu­ally, seven are holidays, five of _which are required to be taken off and two of which the Staff Councff decides upon, Rickman said.

'Key ~o success' to· be topic -9f_ Black History Month guest By Linda C. Knopp Reporter

Nancy Starks, a Kanawha County magistrate, will speak at 8 p.m. today in Memorial Student Center Alumni Lounge on blacks in politics and will be the last of the speakers for Black His-tory Month. ·

Starks will aiscuss "The Key to My Success in Politics" and "How my Hus­band Founded The Beacon Digest--the only Black Newspaper Circulating in West Virginia." She is the only black magistrate in West Virginia and has served three terms.

The presentation is sponsored by the Minority Student Office, Black History Month Committee, College of Liberal Arts and the Herald Dispatch/ Gan­nett Foundation as a tribute to black women in politics.

Black women began as abolitionist leaders and conductors on the under­ground railroad, which influenced the events that started the Civil War. After Reconstruction they crusaded against lynchings and helped defend human and legal rights.

But only after radical social change caused by political activism in the 1950s and 1960s did they become actu­ally involved in politics.

Deterrents not stopping book, magazine thefts By Kimberly Rice Reporter

The director of the Merrow Library said that the theft and destruction of books and magazines continues des­pite deterrents.

Students who have ever frantically searched for that one great source are familiar with the frustration that comes with discovering that it has either been stolen or destroyed. ·

Dit:ector of University Libraries, Kenneth T. Slack, said that their pres­ent theft deterrent system is called the No Go System and it was installed in 1979. Before the system was installed Slack said that the library had a 4 per­cent loss of material which was esti­mated at $28,000.

Slack. said that strict security is necessary in a library because "rare books have appreciated very fast and so like gold pieces and rare coins they are very valuable." The Morro_w Library houses a · Shakespeare portfo­lio which is worth $16,000. According to Slack the portfolio cannot be dis­played to the public because the library does not have adequate insurance

against theft. Slack said, "Can you imagine some­

body downtown at a bank letting peo­ple go back where their money is and carrying their purses and briefcases back there and yet we let people go · back into our collection all the time."

Theft and destruction is especially a problem in the media section in the library wher-!! newspapers and maga­zines are kept. "I see about three people a month who tear pages out or take a magazine. They don't know they've been caught until our little signal beeps and-when they have to open their brief­case we discover all these tom pages," Slack said. If a student or faculty member is

caught trying to steal library property they are given a fine and are required to pay for any items they may have destroyed. According to Slack if a stu­dent refuses to pay, their grades are withheld and they are not allowed to register for the next term. Similarly, if a faculty member does not pay a fine they are denied the use of the library.

Morro"' Library has strict forms of punishment t¥!t up for people who steal or destroy material.

Henderson grabs first team All-SC honors By Melina K. Huff Sports Editor

Head basketball coach Rick ,Huckabay says he is ,proud of Sophomre guard Skip Henderson, who was named for the second year to the first All-Southern Conference team earlier this week.

However, Huckabay says he feels other Herd play­ers should have been named to the honorary team as well. "Not taking anything away from Skip, I thought we'd have other guys selected. I see the list­ing ( of all-conference players) and I have to ask why weren't some of the others selected? What about Tom (Curry), (Jeff) Guthrie and Rodney (Holden)," Hucka­bay said.

Henderson, a 6-2 190 pounder, leads the Herd in most points scored in a single game; most field goals; most free throws; most assists and most minutes played. He was named Southern Conference F.resh-' man Player of the Year in 1985 and has started in 28 of29 games.

Henderson was selected by members of the league's Sports Media Association and will join the ranks of Virginia Military's Gay Elmore, Western Carolina's Leroy Gasque, Tennessee-Chattanooga's Wes Stallings and Davidson's Derek Rucker who were also selected to the team.

Huckabay said Henderson is well on his way toward accomplishing one of his primary objectives this year. That is, to become a more "complete" player.

"In looking just at the last two games, you'll notice

his defensive play has improved. When a player gets six or ·seven rebounds, plus scores, plus plays well defensively, then that's really becoming a complete player," Huckabay said.

The Cartersville, Ga. native averaged 18.1 points per game, up from a 17.7 average last season. Hender­son has a career total of 1092 points, including a career high of 46 points against University of Cha­rleston. He had 114 assists this year bettering last season's total of 112. Henderson's field-goal percen­tage is down from 55 percent last season to 51 percent this season. His free-throw percentage has improved from. 66 to 67 percent.

Sophomores Tom Curry, a 6-9 center, and Rodney Holden, a 6-7 forward, did receive honorable mention honors.

Huckabay said he was surprised that Curry, Holden and 6-9 senior forward Jeff Guthrie were not selected. He attributed this to the fact that no set criteria has been established for the selecting of players.

"The big guys don't have a chance," he said. Holden leads the Herd and the Southern Confer­

ence in rebounding with an 8.8 average while Guthrie , leads the team in steals and overall field-goal percen­tage. Curry leads the team in blocked shots, with 28 and has a 57 percent field-goal average.

"Its disappointing," Huckabay said. "We were picked (in preseason polling) to win the champion­ship because of all of the talent on the team. They put all of this pressure on us and then they just pick one player for the all-conference team. And now our play­ers are asking 'what's it mean?,'" Huckabay said.

Tourney journey takes 8-10 hours By Tina White Reporter ·

Linus was sitting in front of the Henderson Center looking impatiently towards the sky watching foi:the "Great Basketball" to float down and wisk him off to the Southern Conference Tournament in Asheville, N.C.

Fortunately for Herd fans, it isn't necessary to wait for the "Great Basketball" since there are other ways to get to Asheville.

Traveling by car will take about 8 to 10 hours, according to Ann Chambers, Huntington Automo­bile Club's director of domestic affairs. She recom­mends two routes: · Interstate 64 west from Huntington to Ky. 627 at

Winchester, Ky., then south on I-75 to Knoxville. From Knoxville, take I-40 on to Asheville. This.route . takes about 7 1/2 to 8 hours. The second choic~ is Interstate 64 east to Charleston and then south on the West Virginia Turnpike to Bluefield: At Bluefield

take I-77 south to Statesville, N.C., then west on I-40 to Asheville. This takes about seven hours.

Another choice is to fly. Piedmont is the only com­mercial airline at Tri-State Airport that goes to Asheville.

After arriving in Asheville, finding a place to stay might be d,ifficult. A limited amount of rooms are available. Most motels near the civic center are full.

The weather will be fair and cold, according to the National Weather Service. Highs will be in the 30s F.

Asheville has other things to offer beside the Southern Conference Tournament. The Biltmore .house built by George W. Vanderbilt, grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt, with an art collection of paint­ings and antiques, is Asheville's most famous attrac­tion. Other attractions include; historic architecture, the Thomas Wolfe Memorial, the botanical gardens and· the Asheville Art Museum.

Although no trouble has occurred before, the Ashe­ville police department said extra officers will be on duty in the civic center during the tournament. Offic­ers will strictly enforce the speed limits.

Marshall center works to reduce joblessness By Alyssa A. Marquis Reporter

Decreasing unemployment in West Virginia is a number one priority in the state today, and Marshall University's Center for Regional Progress has stepped in to work with both govern, ment and community to meet this goal.

According to Director Byron D. Car­penter, the center is currently finishing up an economic development study in McDowell County, which has ~ coal­based economy and is one of the state's leaders in unemployment.

The county received a planning grant from the federal Economic

Developm·ent Administration (EDA) and contacted the center for an analy­sis and development plan. A team of faculty members was recruited for the project, and working with the Center for Research and Education with Industry and Concord College faculty members, the center has almost com­pleted its assessment and will make its recommendations to the county's development authority early next month, Carpenter said.

Mason County has requested a sim­ilar assessment, he said.

Completed projects include a market­ing profile of the tri-state area designed to attract new business and industry to

Author of "Midnight Express" to tell of Turkish prison ordeal By Marla Manning Reporter

Life in a Turkish prison will be one of the experiences related by Billy Hayes, the subject of the book and the movie "Midnight Express," when he comes to Marshall March 17.

Hayes made headlines when, in June 1975, he escaped from a Turkish prison after being sentenced to 30 years for smuggling hashish.

After five years of prison isolation, . Hayes was in the spotlight as soon as he returned home to the U .$. From the moment he stepped off the airplane,

reporters and television cameras wanted to record his story. Such inter­est led Hayes to write " Midnight Express." Before he had .even finished the book, a producer contacted him about. selling the film rights to his story.

Hayes now travels to high schools, colleges, and prisons to tell his story. He relates the culture shock he expe­rienced after being out of society for five years.

The movie "Midnight Express" will be shown Sunday, March 16, in the Don Morris Room in Memorial Student Center. Hayes will _speak Mon., March 17 in the Don Morris Room.

The center, which includes one of 41 EDA university centers nationwide, received a $77,000 grant from the EDA in 1984 and a $100,000 continuance grant in 1985, will continue to grow, he said.

"We have had quite a start between the beginning and and where we are now," he said. "We are a part of the gradute school, and we can draw on any members of the faculty and staff in any of the colleges for assistance. We are bringing funds into the university, definitely into the region, and having a problem-solving impact. The Cent.P.r

for Regional Progress is evidence of the commitment the university and state has made for using existing resources in meeting the economic needs of the state."

The center is planning a project to give area small business a shot in the arm as well.

A Small Business Development Sub· center, not yet in operation, is the cen­ter's newest addition, operating on a $66,000 budget.

"The subcenter is designed specifi· cally for the small business person, " Carpenter said. "It will provide infor­mation on getting started and staying in a profitable business."

Efforts under way to improve safety of University Heights

New locks, a neighborhood watch and a lighting survey are among the actions <1,nd programs being imple- . mented at University Heights.

Ramona Orndorff, manager of the Housing Office, said an order has been placed for locks, which will cost about $1,000 a piece. The Hous­ing Office should be receive the new locking system in two to three weeks, she said. However, Orndorff added that this does not mean that the locks will be installed at that

time because there are only two locksmiths on campus.

Tammy Hartenstein, manager of University Heights said Don E. Robertson , assistant dean of stu­dent affairs and residence life, is coordinating a lighting survey group. The lighting survey, involv­ing tenants and Marshall Univer­sity officials, is co·nducted by walking through the University Heights area after dark to determine where lighting is insufficient.
