China, U.S. near grain deal
PEKING (UPI) China and the
United States reported yesterday
they were near agreement on one of
the biggest grain deals in history.
The sales of up to 9 million tons of
grain a year would be worth up to $1
billion annually to American
farmers, agricultural experts said.
"We have made considerable pro
gress during our talks here," chief
American negotiator Thomas Saylor
said about the highly secretive talks,
"but we still have things to discuss
and work out with the Chinese."
The Carter administration had ,
tried to keep the impending deal
secret, apparently hoping to make an
announcement in Washington at a
politically opportune moment.
But word of the deal leaked and

Jenrette vows
FLORENCE, S.C. (UPI) Rep.
John W. Jenrette, D-S.C., convicted
of bribery and conspiracy in the
Abscam case, announced in an
emotion-choked voice yesterda3 that
he will remain in the running for re
election.
But Jenrette, 44, said he is sending
a letter to House Speaker Thomas
O'Neill offering his resignation "in
futuro" meaning it should be ac
cepted if his court appeals are denied.
"I sought advice through prayer
and from friends," said the third
term congressman, whose announce
ment ended nearly a week of specula
tion about his political future.
"To withdraw would be much
easier," he told reporters called for
the announcement. He said he would
stay in the race although "to stay and
take abuse from many incompas
sionate individuals seems more than
I care to endure."
Jenrette faces Republican
newcomer John Napier,,33, a Bennet

election.

Perez Esquivel gets Peace Prize
OSLO, Norway (UPI) Adolfo Perez Esquivel, an
Argentine champion of human rights once imprisoned
and tortured, was awarded the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize
yesterday for his vital message of non-violence to the
world.
Perez Esquivel, 49, was cited for his leading role in
"Peace and Justice Service," a Christian group that
acts as an umbrella organization for human rights ac
tivities throughout Latin America.
"This prize is not given to me in particular, but to the
the- poor of Latin America, the, country folk, workers
and those who work for a more humane and just
world," said the Nobel laureate who was reached at his
group's headquarters in his native Buenos Aires.

Iranians hijack jet, demand trip to Tehran
ANKARA, Turkey (UPI) Six Ira

then released some of their captives but
threatened to blow up the plane and their
100 hostages if the aircraft was not
refuelled.
The hijackers' demands appeared
vague and no deal was made at Diyar

landed after the hijacking. Turkish
authorities said they would not give in to

organizations.
Perez Esquivel, an architect and sculptor who gave
up a professorship in architecture in 1974 to direct the
human rights organization, is the second Argentinian
to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The other was Carlos
Savedra Lamas who won the peace prize in 1936.
The 1980 laureate said the award will bring him
"more work for the dignity of man, (and) more obliga
tions," but he also expressed concern over the human
rights situations in Bolivia and El Salvador.
The pre is worth 880,000 Swedish kronor, about
$215,000, and will be presented to the non-violence ad
vocate on Dec. 10 in the Norwegian capital.

He said that while he has been a candidate 'for the
Nobel Peace Prize over the past three years, receiving
it was like being "splashed with a bucket of cold water.
"I didn't expect it. I am really surpriS'al," said Perez
Esquivel whose name was suggested this time by the
British Quaker Society to the Nobel Committee which
is appointed by the ,Norwegian Parliament.
In awarding hlni the prize, the committee said it was
motivated by similiar principles represented by the
1975 award to Soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov.
"Perez Esquivel is among those Argentines who
have shone a light in the darkness," the committee
said. "He champions a solution of Argentina's grievous
problems that dispense with the use of violence and is a
spokesman for a revival of respect for human rights."
Colleges must 'keep past alive'
By KAREN MCMANIMAN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
Although we are all individuals, we share social, cultural
and., religious relationships which must be recognized,
Ernest L. Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching, said yesterday.
"Coherence is the centerpiece of higher education," said
Boyer, keynote speaker at the University Scholars Pro
gram Convocation and former U.S. Commissioner of
EduCation.
"Colleges must help keep the past alive, or else, as a
society, we will lose all memory of it and ruin thefuture."
'Boyer traced the history of higher education from the
days of the nonelective, strict-curriculum schools to the
present, when he said some institutions require little or
nothing of their graduates. He said either extreme is com
pletely unacceptable because it denies the realities of life.
Boyer said contemporary colleges and universities are
"academic supermarkets where students come in, shop
around, and leave at commencement time.
"There are no widely shared social beliefs on what it
means to be educated., We are agreed about the length (four
years) and the credits(l2o-plus), but we are uncertain
about what it is that takes four years and . 120 credits," he
said.
Boyer said this uncertainty provides a senseof confusion,
and that althoughthe nation's colleges have become 'more
diverse and should be proud, independence must be en-

couraged in education, as in life
"Colleges ask themselves, 'How can students develop the
art of wise decision-making?' " he said.
Boyer said he sees students developing their decision
making skills in several ways, including experimenting
with curriculum. ,
"Students should understand we have a common
heritage," he said, "and we must introduce a value system
of human gains and losses.
Another aspect of curriculum Boyer said should be
stressed is an understanding of the symbols verbal
(reading, writing) and nonverbal (dance, graphic arts)
that make people who they are.
"We are so casual about the power of communication,
and what we should understand is that we are living in a
communication revolution,"he . said.
Boyer quoted Dr. Lewis Thomas, chancellor of the
Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, who said
"the gift of language . . . is the core of social existence."
Boyer advocated serious examination of employment in
society and how work relates to value choices that students
confront.
"College must stress that work is an expression of who we
are, and where we fit in," he said.
Boyer also named other areas he thinks students should
have knowledge in: the forces that guide the universe and
the natural world, life forms on Earth, and man's partner
ship with nature.

Future demands will alter University, Eddy says
By JOHN CRUMLISII
•
Dally Collegian Staff Writer
Tighter funds, diminishing enrollment
and the need to sustain a quality faculty
will cause many changes in the Universi
ty in the 1980 s, the provost said last night.
"We do know almost everything at
Penn State will be altered by the time•
1990 rolls around," Edward D. Eddy said
at a College of Business Administration
Student Council meeting.
To keep the quality of the University
high, three realities must be faced, Eddy
said. The first, he said, is that funds for
higher education are becoming tighter
because of inflation.
Eddy said the increase in the cost of
education has been steepest in the price
of books and periodicals the University
buys for courses. The University spends
as much money on magazines as it •had
previously spent for magazines and tex
tbooks, he said.
In addition, laboratory equipment
costs have increased almost 500 percent
in recent years, he said.
State and federal support for the
University is neither secure nor consis
tent from year to year the Univer
sity's status as a semi-public institution

prevents it - film being fully funded by
the goveriiment, he said.
"We must take a lower position in
priority (for funding), because we're not
owned by the state," he said.
As a semi-public institution the
University has more operational
freedom than it would if it were owned
by the state.
The second reality is that University
enrollment will decrease in 1983 or 1984
because of diminished birth rates, Eddy
said.
University enrollment is higher this
year than it has ever been, but "we know
this is only the calm before the storm,"
he said.
Although the University has the
distinct advantage of a tuition rate lower
than that of most private institutions,
diminishing government funding may
increase tuition, causing a decline in
future enrollment, he said.
He 'said University tuition has increas
ed by 74 percent in the last 10 years.
The third reality higher education
must confront is maintaining a high
quality faculty, Eddy said. Job oppor
tunities in fields such as engineering of
computer science may attract potential

University faculty, he said.
"We're competing with other in
dustries and the government," he said:
To help cope with future problems, the
College of Business Administration is
beginning an admissions recruitment
campaign, led by business students, Ed:
dy said.
"Students are the biggest recruiting
aids," he said.
The University is starting to more
often consider children of alumni wh6
may not have previously beeB
academically acceptable, and is trying
to increase the percentage of out-of-state
students enrolled, he said.
More students are being enrolled at
Commonwealth campuses, and in the
Continuing Education program, he said;
Eddy said the University hopes to
raise the "intellectual climate of the
campus," by insisting on quality
students and faculty.
"We'll be expecting more out of
everyone," he said.
"It will take imagination, creativity,
and courage to find enough money from
a wide variety of sources to maintain the
quality of the University," he said.
