Cunningham against welfare bill I,la PAUL SUNYAK ly Collegian Staff Writer State Rep. Gregg Cunningham, R -77th, said he voted against a welfare funding bill because of "Christmas treeing," or the attaching of pet projects, by members of the Senate. The bill was initiated in the House and spit to the Senate, where various pet projects were tacked on, including an allotment of $25 million for pothole repair, Cunningham said. "The Senate tacked on the pothole issue to bring public pressure on the House to pass the bill," Cunningham std. "They were using potholes and welfare reeipients to get their own projects through." Cunningham said when the bill was returned to the House for a vote, it was $l:2 million in the red. he explained that the Welfare qapartment ran out of money for the coginty boards of assistance after six months, due to short-sightedness in the Stiapp administration. Cunningham said after the Houie rushed the bill to the Senate, the Democratic leadership elected to sit on it for three weeks before sending it back ffr House approval only days before the welfare money was to run out. "It was business as usual, the same old game," Cunningham said. "The leadership deliberately created a crisis." Cunningham said when he voted aginst the bill, the Associated Press story that was released "created the appearance I was voting against potholes, which is not true." Gov. Thornburgh vetoed the bill after it was passed by the House, a move supported by Cunningham. 'On potholes, Cunningham said he supports Thornburgh's proposal to make the. state's six percent sales tax ap plidable to gasoline purchases. ilapanese course time changed •:Japanese 100, the course Japanese Literature in Translation, will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays 15th period in 16 Sparks, rather than during 13th period as scheduled.

' Amin told his nation the "situation is ,T very grave," and the official radio for '' the first time admitted the Tanzanian *fortes were deep inside Ugandan territory, almost within artillery range of The capital. ',' A special broadcast conceded the Tanzanians had overrun two southern ii towns, Masaka and Lukaya, "and are ) nearing Mpigi, which is less than 25 miles from Kampala and Entebbe." `' IV Mpigi is actually about 30 miles from i Kampala. Ugandan armed forces have 4 1 constructed what one diplomat called an "iron wall" defense line there. The , . strategic crossroads guard both ?

Robaczynski also faces first degree murder charges in connection with three other respirator deaths at Maryland General Hospital. "I told her I knew what she was doing and in essence for her to stop, she just said 'they'll never catch me,' " Lynch testified. Lynch testified that another time she asked Robaczynski why a patient's respirator was disconnected. "I said 'Mary, why did you do that,' she just turned to me and said 'She was dead anyway.' " "We told her we knew what she was doing and if it did not stop we would turn her in," Lynch said. "She just looked at and said they must be disciplined, cooperative "and in the fighting spirit to drive out the invaders who are well over 100 miles inside Uganda." The latter figure appeared to be an exaggeration. The effectiveness of Amin's army has been greatly reduced by low morale in recent months, and several units have mutinied during the dictator's three month battle against Tanzanian forces and Ugandan exiles. East Africa buzied with speculation that Amin's bloody eight-year hold over Uganda might be nearing an end. Residents of Kampala said the capital was outwardly calm but edgy yesterday. Tanks were parked in the main square, anti-aircraft guns dotted the city's many hills. The latest reinforcements for Amin's army 1,000 troops sent by Libya, whic,h has been pouring in military aid reportedly were en camped 3 miles to the south. Despite the extreme gravity of the situation, Amin was quoted as saying he was not worried. He reportedly spent the day dedicating a surgical ward at a Kampala hospital. Amin reportedly noted Uganda's forces had not yet gone on the offensive, but the radio quoted him as saying the "enemy is now in range of our targets," presumably meaning artillery range. Rep. Gregg Cunningham DOT has "turned the corner" by eliminating corruption and inefficiency and doing away with the patronage system. "The governor's gasoline tax proposal sets a good, modern tone," he said. "But I don't feel comfortable with any in crease in taxes for the General Fund." • Newman Student Association of the Penn State Catholic Center will sponsor Michael McDevitt who will speak on Lent: An Aid To Spiritual Growth at a pizza party following 5:05 mass in the large lounge of Eisenhower Chapel. • PSU Veterans Organization will sponsor Happy Hours from 4 to 9 p.m. at 227 E.

" Defense attorneys, who apparently are trying to show Robaczynski may be guilty of practicing medicine without a license, but not murder, elicited from Lynch testimony that she had seen doctors unhook patients' life support systems. - "Have you seen doctors disconnect respirator patients whose hearts are beating?" asked defense lawyer Joseph FL Murphy Jr. "Yes I have," said Lynch. - "How often did the events which you observed take place?" Murphy asked. "I don't know, I'm not at liberty to say," Lynch said. His objective is not only to recapture lost territory from the invaders, Amin said, but to "conquer the enemy wherever they are." • . "Actions speak louder than words," the radio said. The broadcast essentially confirmed earlier reports from diplomats and Ugandan exiles. Amin's regime had maintained until yesterday' that Masaka, 70 miles south of Kampala, had been recaptured since the Tanzanians first seized it 10 days ago. Lukaya lies on the main road from Masaka to Kampala, about 20 miles north of Masaka. The diplomatic sources said the Tanzanian offensive a force of 4,000 men including both troops from Dar es Salaam and Ugandan exiles fighting as guerrillas had reached the Catholic mission town of Mitala Maria, about 40 miles south of Kampala. They reported advance units were engaging in skir mishes on the outskirts of Mpigi. The main portion of the Tanzanian force was sweeping along Uganda's major highway to Mpigi. A second, smaller column, was reported driving north toward the town of Mityana, which commands the western approaches to Kampala. a a fsrj a zt *S.* (49,' 4 oceitielte . iiirAtccerrz, • IN CALDER SQUARE • Under New Management FRIDAY LUNCH SPECIAL FISH SANDWICH & Bowl of Clam Chowder 1 99 plus tax Largest Pastry Selection in town Cakes Made To Order 237.8729 Open from 9:30 A.M.
