Americans told
,to flee from Iran
TEHRAN, Iran (UPI) The U.S.
Embassy, conceding, it could no longer
protect Americans in violence-torn Iran,
yesterday warned more than - 6,000
Americans still in the country to prepare
for airlift evacuation with only one
suitcase each.
Aides of Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini, who before his seizure of
l ig power four days ago had demanded that
.1.1
all American "foreign devils" leave
'lran, reacted with anger to the U.S.
evacuation order and refused to help
with the planned exodus.
, In Tehran, widespread looting broke
out for the first time in the 15 months of
Os'i street violence which culminated in the
flight of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
from Iran and the victory Sunday of
followers of Khomeini over the shah's
:last government
Unidentified gunmen ransacked shops
‘ ll ' :along Pahlavi Avenue, Tehran's Fifth
:Avenue, stripping stores of everything
:from bathroom fittings to sporting
goods.
: The night of looting coincided with a
:spate of hit-and-run attacks on mosques,
:radio stations, power plants and ,other
:government installations by left-wing
:gunmen. Those attacks, which began
-with the assault and seizure of the U.S.
:Embassy Wednesday, continued
:yesterday.
Following Wednesday's U.S. Embassy
_attack, Ambassador William Sullivan
• issued a directive to the more than 8,000
• U.S. nationals still in Iran which said:
: "We cannot protect American lives in
:Iran. We strongly recommend
:evacuation from Iran. You should
:prepare for evacuation."
Sullivan said all evacuees should only

Carter finds rough
going in Mexico City
MEXICO CITY (UPI)
Carter, replying that Mexico can also be
a difficult neighbor, told President Jose
Lopez Portillo yesterday that it was time
-for both nations to bury past differences
, and move on to better relations.
Carter hosted a state , dinner at the U.S.
embassy residence, about four miles
from the embassy where several hun-
dred angry students chanting "Carter
' Go Home" tried tb'mareh' earlier. His
reply was in response tb Lopez Portillo's
slap at the United 'States on Wednesday.
In a carefully-worded response, Carter
told the Mexican president that
"perhaps our greatest challenge is to
* adopt attitudes toward each other that
are suited not to the past, but to the
realities of the present and the needs of
the future."
Earlier, the chanting student
demonstrators tried to march on the
U.S. Embassy but were dispersed by 500
police using nightsticks, horses and tear
li gas. The students retreated to a nearby
plaza where they burned an effigy of
Uncle Sam as they shouted "Burn
without our oil!"
Before the dinner, Carter told
reporters that his talks with Lopez
Portillo had "gone very well" and that
a the Mexican leader's slap at American
intentions Wednesday was wrong.
Lopez Portillo accused the United
States of wanting better diplomatic
relations because of "a surprising
mixture of interest, disdain and fear."
"The people of the United,States are
0 fair and decent people, in their dealings
with each other and in dealings with
other nations," Carter said in his dinner
toast.

And let this be a lesson to you, freshmen
The freshmen among us may
wonder what goes on in the higher
level courses they'll . be taking as
upper classmen.
Let me give you a typical example
of the degree of intensity which these
courses have to offer.
Bruce Murphy, an instructor of
political science 473, defendants'
rights, asked a female student in his
class to recite for him the Miranda
rights.
(Again, for you freshmen, the
Miranda rights are thoSe given to an
arrested person by Officer Jim Reed
on Adam-12 when he says, "You have
the right to remain silent . . .")

aircraft planning to arrive on Saturday,
Feb. 17," he said.

evacuation - would involve civilian
airliners and possibly U.S. military
planes and helicopters. Spokesman
Hodding Carter said that two chartered
Pan American 7475, each capable of
carrying 400 people, would be flown to
Tehran tomorrow
Carter said the planned evacuation
.could not proceed before tomorrow
because of religious holidays in Iran
yesterday and today. During those
festivities, American planes will not be
allowed to enter the country.
The Pentagon said its military airlift
command centers in Europe and the
United States were being made ready for
possible use.
Processing centers were being set up
around the city for the' American
evacuees to gather. Embassy sources
said as many as 6,000 of the more than
8,000 Americans would probably take
advanatage of the evacuation airlift.
However, when embassy officials
asked the new Khomeini regime for
buses to help pick up Americans from
around the battle-scarred capital and
take them to the processing centers,
aides to the 78-year-old Moslem holy
man brusquely turned them down.
"When the time comes, we will give
you buses and everything you require,
but not before," a Khomeini aide
'reportedly replied.
The American evacuation plans
clearly irked the Khomeini camp.
A spokesman for the Khomeini camp
said, "You can tell the American public,
frankly, I don't give a damn for the
American government."
Noting comments Lopez Portillo made
two years ago about difficulties of being
a U.S. neighbor, Carter said, "It is also
difficult to be the neighbor of a nation
such as yours."
President
Carter cited the "rapid change and
development" of Mexico and the fact its
"new economic power obliges its leaders
to make difficult choices and to accept
expanded responsibilities." .
Carter predicted a .favorable conclusion
to his three-day state visit in which he
and Lopez Portillo have tried to solve the
difficult problem of illegal Mexican
migrant workers, and Carter has made a
bid to buy oil and natural gas from
Mexico whose stocks are reputed to be
larger than Saudi Arabia's.
Carter's visit got off to a shaky start
Wednesday when Lopez Portillo rebuked
him publicly at a formal lunch for
cancelling an agreed-upon purchase of
Mexican natural gas two years ago.
Yesterday the shouts of "Carter go
home!" near the embassy mingled with
shouts of "our petroleum is ours!"
Carter's low-key remarks, as
prepared for delivery, focused on the
fact that "inevitably differences will
arise from time to time" but that he is
confident both nations can work them
out.
Carter, speaking in an agricultural
village 100 miles south of Mexico City,
ignored the rebuff and lecture from
Lopez Portillo and told reporters he
thought Lopez Portillo would agree that
their discussions went smoothly.
Carter and Lopez Portillo arranged a
final, unscheduled breakfast meeting
today and planned to issue a statment
afterwards.
Anyway, she responded to his
question in typical Adam-12 fashion,
to a point, and then remarked, "I
can't remember the rest."
Her 6- foot-5-inch instructor tlien
undid his shirt and tie, exposing a t
shirt, not unlike Superman, which
had been decaled with two-inch blue
letters: "MIRANDA RIGHTS."
Murphy then said, "Read 'em, and
then tell me what are your Miranda
Rights!"
He later commented to his class,
"I've been waiting eight weeks to do
that!"
Just thought we'd let you know
what goes on in those upper-level
courses, freshmen.

University trustee contributed to Thornburgh
By MIKE SILLUP
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
University Trustee Penrose Hallowell, recently
appointed State Secretary of Agriculture, contributed
$3,005 to Gov. Dick Thornburgh's campaign, according
to official campaign reports.
Hallowell said he contributed to the campaign
because he liked Thornburgh's promise of restoring
respectability to state government.
"I did get to know him before the campaign, and I
liked his idea that government serves the people," he
said.
Utility costs force apartment rate increases
By DONNA DAVIS
Daily Collegian Staff Writes
Higher heating and utility costs have
forced apartment owners to raise next
year's rents an average of 5 to 10 per
cent.
Along with these two reasons, lan
dlords cited higher maintenance and
electricity bill and school taxes as the
major reasons for next year's rent hikes.
Lion's Gate manager Pearl Weiner
said that "aside from increasing costs on
everything else," higher fuel prices,
which she said were astronomical, had
the most effect on her complex's
decision to raise rents.
However she said Lion's Gate would
try to keep the increase under 10 per
cent.

READING ( UPI) Two Reading
women are using contraceptive pills
to make their gardens grow.
The, pills apparently stimulate
house plants and make even the
sickliest plant regain its health.
Margaret Schlegel said last week
she was on a visit to her doctor about
two years ago and mentioned to the
receptionist, Edna Firestone, that
some of her plants were sickly.

trihutions, according to the report, was $4OO in Oclober.
The report also listed five of Hallowell's con
tributions under Penrose Hallowell Sr.
Hallowell said the word senior appeared on his
checks.
Hallowell made his contributions if Thornburgh
needed money for television spots, he said.
The report said University Trustee H. Thomas
Hallowell Jr., who Penrose Hallowell said was a fourth
.
cousin, contributed $5,000 to the campaign.
His largest contribution was $3,000 Aug. 2, it said.
spokeswoman at Kissinger said she
thought the increases were propor
tionally lower than the rate of inflation. _
But the president-elect of the
Organization for Town Independent
Students, Mike Scanlon, said that while
landlords may not be keeping pace with
inflation, "somewhere along the line
they're breaking even."
He said perhaps landlords raised rent 4,
too much last year and consequently do
pot need as large an increase this year. ,'
Scanlon said he expects a rent in
crease of around 5 to 7 percent, rather,
than a situation such as the one which
started last year's Rent Wars, when A
W. & Sons raised rents up to 37 percent ,
He said that apartment renters have to
expect that "any increase in cost will be
passed on to the tenant."
Firestone said she had read about
the use of contraceptive pills as a
plant stimulant somewhere and gave
Schlegel a sample pack to try.
"It really rejuvenates the plants,"
Schlegel said.
She passed on the information to
her friends, Harry and Melva Zerhe,
who tried it on a spider plant that had
caught cold one frosty night.
Zerbe's husband nipped off two
baby offshoots, potted them and gave
them a healthy dose of contraceptive
dissolved in water.
Within a week, she says, the plants
had shot up about six inches.
Now, she said, her husband doses
each plant with about one pill a week.
"Our house is being overrun with
green babies."
Berks County agricultural agent
Herbert Wetzel suggested that the pill
might contain a stimulator that spurs
plant growth.
He said the horticultural industry
uses simulated plant hormones to
regulate plant growth.
