Solar builders, installers and researchers displayed their projects to a - steady stream of people interested in alternative energy possibilities for the Centre Region. From the University, Professor John White showed pictures of the seven research greenhouses that the agricultural engineering and hor ticulture departments have built in Rock Springs. The solar greenhouses are being developed for both their agricultural and home heating poten tials, White said. But most exhibitors were small-scale local businessmen, people who are trying to put solar power-on the central Pennsylvania energy market.

Amin may lead troops to suicidal last stand KAMPALA, Uganda (UPI) Tan zanian-led government forces yesterday captured northeast Uganda and thrust into the northwest, where Idi Amin's troops reportedly were planning a suicidal last stand under the direction of Amin himself. In Masindi, 150 miles northwest of Kampala, troops entering the freshly deserted Nile river town found a man crucified on a tree, a nail driven through his head by Amin's retreating soldiers. Witnesses • told United Press In ternational that Amin's soldiers looted most stores and forced the local bank manager to open his vaults, fleeing with $500,000 before the government forces captured the town Friday and took the adjacent port yesterday. The soldiers left behind several ar tillery pieces plus warehouses full of light weapons, ' ammunition, uniforms and new boots. Tanzanian troops helped themselves to those. The troops preparing for the final big push to capture the northwest corner of Uganda feared they would find more atrocities by Amin soldiers such as those in which hundreds, maybe thousands, of persons have already died. - Church officials in Kampala said Nurse is guest counselor on human sexuality • Elaine Young, a registered nurse who has taught presents a gourmet lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. • Off-campus orientation leaders for fall have an the La Maze childbirth education classes in Boston and today in the Maple Room of Human Development important wrap-up meeting at 7 tonight in 373 Willard Baton Rouge, will be the guest counselor on human Building sexuality from 7 to 9 tonight as part of Health Night at the Women's Resource Center, 108 W.

Neil Kimerer said he hopes to market his improved window box, a one room space heater, for $l5O-$5OO less thah a comparable commercially-made unit. Cumberland Solar Systemg representative Tom Viehman said he sees no future for the small businessman in the field of solar energy. Some small solar product businesses are failing because they have run out of capital. But large companies can con tinue to make solar products even if they lose money on them, if those products are a small part of their total sales, he said. Helbig said many small businesses failed because the government did not begin solar tax credits until two to three years of ter it had announced them. Small solar businessmen often cannot take advantage of a $4OO Housing and • A rear door to the Nittany Nautilus, 102 S. Pugh St., was kicked in this weekend, police said.

In neighboring Kenya, the Nairobi Times said interim Ugandan President Youssef Lule had offered Milton Obote, the man Amin deposed as Uganda's president in 1971, a top diplomatic job in Western Europe, apparently to neutralize Obote's chances of again becoming Uganda's leader. After Tanzanian troops toppled Amin last month and a new Kampala gover nment was formed under Lule, no senior position was offered to Obote. The Tanzanian-led forces' weekend capture of sparsely populated northeast Uganda brought three-fifths of the East African - ;country under=-heir control_ Remnants of Amin's army offered no resistance. Government troops captured the important northern town of Masindi, leaving only the major towns of Gulu and Arua, Amin's hometown, in the far northwest in rebel hands.
