The Daily Collegian Wednesday, May 7, 1980 News briefs Soldiers' bodies flown to U.S. ZURICH, ,Switzerland (UPI) Quietly, without ceremony or even flags to grace the austere brown metal of their coffins, the bodies of eight Americans killed trying to rescue the U.S. hostages in Iran were turned over to the United States' yesterday and flown home. The flight ended at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware last night. The remains were placed aboard a U.S. Air Force C-141 Starlifter that left Zurich's Kloten Airport shortly before 3 p.m. OP a.m. A Swiss Air DC-8 brought the bodies from Iran a few hours earlier, ac companied by Greek Catholic Ar chbishop Hilarion Capucci, the pro- Palestinian prelate who, because of his close ties with Iran's Islamic regime, had been given custody of the bodies in Tehran. The eight bodies were contained in nine coffins, apparently because Iranian authorities insisted that nine Americans died in the aborted hostage rescue mission April 25. U.S. Brezhnev to attend MOSCOW ( UPI) In a rare tribute to the man who so often defied the Soviet Union, the Kremlin announced yesterday that President Leonid Brezhnev would lead the Soviet delegation to the funeral of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito. But diplomats quickly discouraged speculation that Brezhnev's ap pearance in Belgrade could lead to an unannounced Soviet-American summit. The funeral tomorrow for Josip Broz Tito in Belgrade will be one of the largest gatherings of world leaders in history. Besides Brezhnev, Chinese Communist Party Chairman Flua Guo-Feng will be among the top world leaders attending the funeral. But President Carter, preoccupied with the continuing hostage crisis in Iran, various domestic problems and his own presidential campaign, is sending Vice President Walter Mondale in his place. Kahn opposes United Press International Alfred Kahn, the Carter ad ministration's chief inflation fighter, yesterday repeated his opposition to wage and price controls because he said they would only worsen inflation by triggering anticipatory price increases. Kahn, who had warned the ac celeration of inflation appears . to be continuing, told the House Banking subcommittee on economic stabilization that prices would rise if businesses feared controls were imminent. Democrats defeat spending cut WASHINGTON (UPI) —House and Senate Democrats yesterday turned back Republican attempts to cut domestic spending programs and provide a tax cut in the revised 1981 budget. . After four hours of emotional debate, the House voted 242-175 against a "Republican substitute budget" which would have slashed $l6 billion from domestic programs and added $4.5 billion to defense in the $612 billion recommendation of the House Budget Committee. Exploitation concerns Chinese PEKING (UPI) A Shanghai newspaper Monday continued its moral crusade against the city's spiritual backslide by lashing out at child exploitation in entertainment and a rock and roll craze sweeping cdtv youth. A letter in the Wenhui Bao Newspaper said a 14-year-old girl was being used to imitate a snake billed as an animal with "a human head and snake's body." It was a trick designed to make money and "created a bad in fluence." according to the newspaper which arrived in Peking yesterday. Other letters attacked a seizure of "Saturday night fever" afflicting Shanghai youth. - The youths are done up in an evil way, and dance and swing, singing Mayors hear plea to conserve PHILADELPHIA (AP) A federal energy official told a con ference of mayors yesterday that it is imperative that every American community act without further delay in developing an energy program. Angus Duncan, director Of energy policy for the U.S. Department of Transportation. said "the old habits, the established patterns of energy use, will not be easy to change, but change they must." In addressing mayors of 60 cities who gathered in a hotel a block from Independence Hall for a two-day conference on how to conserve energy, Duncan said the national policy is to reduce American dependence on imported oil and to develop new resources that are renewable. "Federal policy can directly im prove the fuel efficiency of the car you drive, but only in cooperation with local officials, responding to local initiative, can Washington in fluence the choices people make," he said. sources said only four of the bodies were intact. The charred remains of the other four were distributed in the five other coffins. Capucci turned over the bodies to an International Red Cross official who then gave them to U.S. Am bassador Richard Vine in a solemn and business-like transfer held under blazing sunshine on the tarmac at the Zurich . airport. The transfer took about 4 1 / 2 hours. The return of the bodies ended a controversy in Iran over whether the remains should be returned and if so, whether any demands should be made of the United States. President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, who appeared to have won out in the dispute, had said the bodies would be returned without conditions and invited Capucci to take custody of them. But the regime's more militant clerical faction had insisted that only Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and the Revolutionary Council could decide that. Tito burial •$Z t!Ns*' • Leonid Brezhnev price controls The current view among economists is that such anticipatory increases make wage and price controls an ineffective weapon against inflation. The administration instead favors its current system of voluntary wage price guidelines monitored by the Council on Wage and Price Stability. But the subcommittee yesterday rejected an administration request to expand the council's budget to $25 million next year and add staff, a key element of the adininistration's anti inflation program. Then, on a 218-191 vote, the lawmakers rejected a slightly less conservative proposal by Rep. John Rousselot, R-Calif., which called for a $lO billion reduction in social and other domestic programs. Both measures needed substantial Democratic support for passage. They were the last attempts to change the Budget Committee's recommended spending levels. In the House, Republicans had hoped to achieve a tax cut by slashing deep into social programs. strange tunes while rocking them selves up and down. The spectacle causes one to vomit," the newspaper said. Wenhui Bao labeled it as "a kind of moral pollution" and blamed the late Communist Party Chairman Mao Tse Tung's Cultural Revolution for "young people's lack of ability to differentiate what is healthy and coarse." Another letter complained about "strange" clothing and pop music sweeping Shanghai parks. "Sometimes in the parks the youths listen to strange music and dance in a corrupt way. The girls wear men's clothes and the boys wear girls' clothing, the atmoshpere is very wicked," the newspaper said. Duncan, who organized the energy program of Portland, Ore., before taking the federal post, said that "one function of communities is to decide the distribution of scarce community resources," pointing out the decisions usually are intensely political because they "arouse great interest among all whose shares stand to gain or lose." Duncan acknowledged that Americans have long lived in a society built on more energy, more air, and more land, but added the system must change. "The need to conserve is real, it is immediate, it is here to stay despite momentary and deceptive reprieves," he said. Mayor Edward Lyons of Houma, La., chairing a panel on local resources, said "the whole country is vulnerable today if there is any cut in oil supplies." Mayor Helen Boosalis of Lincoln, Neb. agreed that "cities must take the initiative at the local level to affect energy conservation." OPEC to set long-range prices for crude oil TAIF, Saudi Arabia (UPI) Ministers from the 13 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries gathered yesterday for a special meeting to consider a long-term program for raising the price of their crude oil. Decisions taken at the meeting will be of vital concern to the United States, OPEC's biggest single customer, because the decisions could determine oil price levels for years to come, oil industry analysts said. In what analysts described as one of the most important meetings in the 20- year history of the oil cartel, the ministers were scheduled to debate and put the finishing touches on a long-range strategy plan that would gradually lift Sen. starts anti-draft registration campaign WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen. Mark Hatfield, claiming support of three of President Carter's challengers, yesterday launched a delaying cam paign against draft registration. Hatfield, R-Ore., lost one key vote in the Senate Appropriations Committee on the plan, but said he would offer several other amendments to force time consuming debate. In what amounted to a committee level filibuster, Hatfield spoke at length on an amendment to cut registration funding from $13.3 million to $4.7 million. He lost by 17-9, and immediately proposed another amendment to allow conscientious objectors to state their position at the time they register. That proposal was expected to come to a vote today. Hatfield said he had support in his anti-registration fight from Ronald Reagan, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D- Mass., and Rep. John Anderson, R-111. all presidential contestants and former President Gerald Ford. "This is the first issue on which we have isolated the president from his major challengers," Hatfield told reporters. Hatfield was expected to lose on his remaining amendments, which include one providing for registration of women, . .

The meeting of the OPEC ministers was slated to open today in the mountain resort of Taif, just east of the Moslem holy city of Mecca. The only item on the agenda will be discussion of the draft long-term pricing plan drawn up last February in London by OPEC's strategy committee, chaired by Saudi Oil Minister Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani. If the ministers can reach ageement on the plan which some OPEC members are said to oppose it will be formally ratified at the cartel's 20th anniversary conference set for November in Baghdad. Forging a long-term strategy plan out but he believed his time-consuming tactics would aid his cause. If the bill is eventually approved by the committee, Hatfield plans to launch a filibuster on the Senate floor, hoping to give anti-draft forces time to persuade the 20-25 senators he says are undecided on the issue. The House has already passed the bill to fund draft registration. If the Senate agrees, registration could begin as early as mid-June. Hatfield said registration was nothing more than a symbolic gesture aimed at the Soviet Union and would in no way improve U.S. military preparedness. He reported a telephone conversation with Ford in which the former president "said, in effect, 'what can I do to help you defeat the registration plan'?" A letter from Reagan called registration an ill-considered plan and one that "will do little to enhance our preparedness." A letter from Kennedy expressed his deep personal opposition to peacetime registration as an empty symbol that would "lead tb serious national disunity." Kennedy said he would help Hatfield fight the bill on the Senate floor. Anderson's letter expressed his strong opposition to the bill. ‘`, , Mother's Dale Dinners of the present chaos of the world oil market will not be easy.

The legislation was necessary because tracking and re-testing procedures for students with basic skills deficiencies cost the Basic Skills Program too much time and money and because the ef fectiveness of such procedures in helping a student's future academic performance was in doubt, according to the Special Committee on Basic Skills. Since the senate adopted the Basic Skills Program three years ago, students have been tested in mathematics and English upon ad mission to the University. Those students who lacked basic skills in mathematics or English could remove their deficiencies by re-taking the proficiency examination, or, in the case of English, by passing a credit-offering basic skills course. Students who had not removed their deficiencies by their third term at the University were dropped from degree status. . According to the Basic Skills Program Evaluation, students who entered the University had to be followed throughout their first three terms to determine when and if the deficiency had been removed.

Vice President for Undergraduate Instruction Robert Dunham said there have been cases where students enrolled in calculus courses and got on the Dean's List then were dropped from the University because they had a deficiency in basic math skills. However, some students with English deficiencies who scheduled the basic skills English course English 4 before taking English 10 performed better than students with an English deficiency who did not schedule it, the committee noted. Although basic skills in mathematics has been a University requirement, it is not directly linked to or a prerequisite for college-level mathematics courses such as algebra, trigonometry and calculus, according to the committee's evaluation. For this reason, no academic credit will be assigned to the basic skills mathematics course Math 0. Because English 4 is a prerequisite for students who fail to pass the basic skills test, it will continue to be assigned credit. In other business, the senate voted to rescind• a University policy which disallowed the transfer of 800-level credits specifically designated associate degree courses toward a baccalaureate degree. If an 800 - level course would be appropriate as a baccalaureate-level course it will be re-numbered into the 1- 399 level series, but if a department can provide justification for an 800-level course it will be continued. .05,144- ft 14451
