«Garter enters talks to clear up problems
WASHINGTON (UPI) President
Carter entered the Egyptian-Israeli
treaty talks yesterday to clear up last
minute difficulties, but played down his
intervention by saying the negotiations
going “as well as we had expected.’’
American, officials said they aren’t
seriously concerned about the dif
ficulties and diplomatic sources ex
pressed hope the treaty could be
initialed before the end of the week.
Carter took a direct role in the
«|t Washington talks at the request of Israel
and Egypt, calling the heads of both
negotiating teams to the White House for
discussions.
A White House statement said the
president “reviewed with both
delegations the progress made so far in
ijjithe conference and the issues that
remain to be resolved. ”
“The president and the Israeli and
Egyptian delegates expressed their
satisfaction with the process so far,” the
statement said after the talks.
“We have come up against some

VATICAN CITY (UPI) Pope John Paul 11, in his
first message as Roman Catholic pontiff, yesterday
offered "our hand and our heart” to all oppressed
peoples but said he would not interfere with the
"worldly affairs” of Communist regimes.
In a special mass with the 110 Roman Catholic car
dinals who elected him the first non-Italian pope in 455
years, Pope John Paul II promised to give bishops a
greater voice in running the church but warned both
and conservatives alike he expected obedience.
'T John Paul 11, speaking in Latin with a Polish accent,
also said he would continue the work of Vatican
Ecumenical Council to overcome “the tragedy of
division among Christians.”
Hours later, the new pope made his first visit outside
the Vatican driving to a Rome hospital to visit his
longtime friend, Polish-born Bishop Andrej Maria
Deskur, president of the Vatican Commission on the
Mass Media who was hospitalized last Friday with a
.felood clot in an artery in his neck.
Thousands of faithful in St. Peter’s Square cheered
and applauded the pontiff as he drove away from the
Vatican in his black Mercedes limousine with the
license plate Vatican 1. Pope John Paul 11, standing in
the open car, smiled and waved to the crowd.
John Paul 11, at 58 one of the youngest men elected
x'pope in modern times, set Sunday as the date for his
investiture.

the

talks with Carter. “The president said to
turn to him in such a case and we have.”
Dayan, who spent an hour and 15
minutes with Carter, refused to discuss
the difficulties. He said privacy is
necessary for the success of the con
ference and “we all want the
negotiations to succeed.”
But as Carter greeted Acting Foreign
Minister Bhutros Ghali of Egypt later,
the president took time to play down the
impression of crisis left by Dayan.
“I just want to say to the press, there
is no particular problem, there is no
crisis,” Carter said. “Everything is
going about as well as we had expected.”
Egyptian Ambassador Ashraf
Ghorbal, who accompanied Ghali, also
played down the difficulties as he
climbed into his auto after the talks.
“The only difficulty is with the door of
the car,” he told reporters.
“It was a very good meeting,”
Ghorbal said. “There have been areas
agreed and there are areas that still
need to be covered.”

Although the Vatican gave no details of the rite, it was
expected to be a simple ceremony like that of his
predecessor John Paul I, in which he will receive a
pallium a white woolen scarf embroidered with six
black crosses instead of the gold and silver papal
triple crown.
In his speech at the Sistine Chapel mass, the new
pontiff, who until his astounding election Monday night
had been the Roman Catholic archbishop of Krakow,
Poland, said:
“We wish to extend our hand and open our heart at
this time to all peoples and individuals oppressed by
any kind of injustice or discrimimation, whether in
economic, social or political life, or as regards liberty of
conscience and due religious freedom.”
The new pope, who as a youth saw his father slain by
invading Nazi stormtroopers and who has battled
Poland’s atheistic Communist regime for freedom of
religion, said he had “no intention of political in
terference or participation in the carrying out of
worldly affairs.”
“Our commitment in approaching these burning
problems of men and peoples will be determined only
by religious and moral motivations.”
In Warsaw, the entire Polish Communist leadership
hailed Pope John Paul ll’s election and said it signalled
an era of cooperation “between Marxism and
Catholicism” in the pursuit of peace.
John Paul II said his pontificate would "respond fully
to the special mission from Christ who, in making
Simon (Peter) the rock of his church, entrusted him
with the keys of the kingdom of Heaven, ordered him to
confirm his brothers and, as a proof of his love for Him,
to feed the lambs and sheep of his flock.

USG group wants poll
before decision on guns
By ELYSE CIIILAND
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
In a letter to acting University President Edward D. Eddy,
the Undergraduate Student Government Executive Council
formally requested yesterday that the University wait for the
results of a campus-wide student poll before making any
decisions on the arming of University police.
Eddy said last night, however, that he feels the arming issue
involves “legal and human responsibilities far beyond what a
referendum or poll can encompass.”
“I’ve made clear that I will not make a decision until the end
of October to provide even greater opportunities for both
faculty members and students to express reasoned com
ments,” he also said.
USG President Dave Haberle said Monday that USG would
conduct a survey of student opinions on the arming of campus
police with .38 caliber handguns, but the poll has not yet been
started.
The letter to Eddy said “adequate student input is only
possible” through a student referendum on the issue or a
sample poll of the student body.
“We are sincerely interested in your opinion of the value of
such a poll,” the letter said. “We also ask your cooperation in
delaying any decision you may make in dealing with the
Handicapped to pay for ice time
By LORRAINE RYAN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
For the first time in 11 years, the
University is going to charge the ice
skating therapy program for ice time
and skate rental.
The therapy program for mentally and
physically handicapped persons was
offered ice time on Saturdays from 11:15
a.m. to 12:15. p.m. on the temporary
outdoor rink, according to Kurt Oppelt,
assistant professor of physical education
and skating therapist.
Because of the conversion of the Ice
Pavilion into a field house, the
University will create an outdoor rink by
flooding several tennis courts. . . .

evangelical poles: holding the keys, confirming in the
faith and feeding the flock,” the pope said.
“We must express this faithfulness with all our for
ces, preserving the deposit of the faith intact,” the new
pope said.
John Paul II also promised to give the bishops a
greater role in the running of the church and to work
towards reunion with other churches to end “this
ground for perplexity and possibly even for scandal, the
tragedy of division among Christians.”
Calling for obedience from Catholics, the pope said:
"Faith means a close adherence to the teaching of
Peter in the doctrinal field, especially in view of the
threats which from various quarters are raised today
against certain truths of the Catholic faith.”
The new pontiff rebuked both liberals who want to
carry liturgical reform farther than decreed by the
Ecumenical Council and traditionalists, such as rebel
French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who oppose even
Vatican-decreed changes.
“The Church must exclude arbitrary and un
controlled innovations and also the stubborn rejection
of that which has been legitimately decreed and in
troduced in the sacred rites,” John Paul II paid.
The cardinals elected Karol Wojtyla to the papal
throne Monday in the eighth ballot of a secret conclave
in the Sistine Chapel. He took the name John Paul II to
honor his predecessor, Albino Luciani, who died 19 days
ago after reigning over the church only 34 days.
In his speech the new pope praised his predecessor
and said: “It seems only yesterday that he left our
ranks to take on the weight of the papal mantle. But
what a warmth, what a true love he spread out in the
few days of his ministry.”
Near the end of his speech, the pope sent a special
greeting to the clergy and people of his native Poland.

peace plan reached
BEIRUT, Lebanon (UPI) Arab
foreign ministers yesterday adopted
an eight-point peace plan for
Lebanon, but the crack of sniper fire
continued to mar the 10-day cease

Christian militiamen in the capital.
The state-run Beirut Radio said the
foreign ministers and special envoys
from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,
Sudan, Qatar and the United Arab
Emirates “reviewed specific security
arrangements brought to the con
ference by President Elias Sarkis.”
Former President and right-wing

followers have played a major role in
recent fighting with Syrian troops
promptly dismissed the accord.
“It is words, just words,” he said.
“There is nothing new.”

situation until such a poll or referendum could be adequately
conducted.”
Eddy said in a statement, however, that the arming issue “is
no simple question that can be answered by a yes or no
opinion.”
Director of University Safety David E. Stormer revealed
last month that 33 University police officers were armed from
July 17 until Sept. 21, while University Teamsters were on
strike.
Eddy, the University provost acting as University president
while John W. Oswald was being treated for eye problems,
ordered police Sept. 21 to discontinue the practice “until a fair
and careful review could be made as the basis for a long term
decision.”
On Sept. 26, Storrrfer asked the University Council, which
makes recommendations to the University president, for a
recommendation to allow 33 of 48 street officers to carry
handguns.
The letter to Eddy said the Executive Council does not feel
the University Council’s recent hearings on arming campus
police adequately represent student opinion.
In the meantime, The Daily Collegian has been conducting
an informal sample survey of student feelings on the issue. The
results of the survey will be published tomorrow, Collegian'
Editor Dave Skidmore said.
Details of the “security
arrangements” were not disclosed,
but Foreign Minister Fuad Butros
told reporters the delegates had
agreed to reshuffle some of the 30,000
Arab peacekeeping troops in a move
that would ‘‘involve Saudi troops.”
Conference sources said this would
mean trimming some Syrian strength ‘
in sensitive Christian areas and
bringing in Saudi soldiers.
But Butros, looking glum and tired,
also said the widely expected
deployment of Lebanese army
regulars in some Christian areas
would “perhaps not occur at this
time.” He did not elaborate.
Asked if he thought the latest peace
resolutions would bring about an end
to nearly four years of warfare, the
foreign minister said, “I hope the hot
spots will cool down. ”

Schmidt said the program should seek

within the college that frequently
sponsor such groups by paying for ice

The program involves organizations
like the Pennsylvania Association for
Retarded Citizens, and is used as
research for methods of teaching the

research money can be requested to help
with the cost.
