It's time for the people who benefit from On Drugs to help.support it.
On Drugs is in financial limbo, and only
a strong commitment from the beneficia
ries of its services can secure its continued
existence.
But things look better than they have.
At one point after the Centre County
Commissioners cut funding to the agency
by nearly $12,000 - 16 percent of the
agency's budget On Drugs director Jim
Stuart said the agency might have to close.
And when the cut takes effect in July,
Stuart initially said it would lead to the
elimination of all day-time services
including the crisis intervention hot-line,
walk-in service and educational programs.
But in the month since the commission
ers made their cut official, Stuart and his
colleagues at On Drugs have re-evaluated
their plight and emerged with "guarded
optimism."
An impact study will be ready in a few
weeks, Stuart said, but right now, he
doesn't know what services if any will
have to be eliminated.. But On Drugs is far
from escaping its financial shortfalls.
Although the county commissioners
have forced this shortfall, they have sug
Military maniacs play games with bombs..
There are only two issues worth talking
about in our world the twin threats of

Everything else must take a secondary

continue it will be Apocalypse Soon.
Unfortunately, we have elected a man

hasten the apocalypse. Ronald. Reagan's

Partying's more fun
Friday was a perfect spring day in Happy Valley and
people were reveling in this treat from Mother Nature.
Students bagged classes in favor of lying out on the HUB
lawn, administrators even cracked a smile, everyone
walked with a lilt in their step.
It was a normal day in El Salvador. About 30 more
people were slaughtered by the government's ruling
junta. People left work at 1 p.m: to make sure they got
around the road blocks and were home before night fell
and the sporadic fire of the guerillas began to pepper the
air.
A few, a very few, people in Happy Valley noticed
this discrepancy and decided to do something about it. A
demonstration march was organized and students pro
tested US. involvement in this Central American coun
try by chanting, "One, two, three, four, we don't want
Reagan's war."
They were ignored, heckled or smilingly tolerated by
the "public" they wished to make aware of the situation
in that troubled country.
Obviously, students found grades, jobs, and partying
more far important than the bloody mess in El Salva
dor.
It wouldn't have been so alarming if the students had
been offended or affronted by the demonstrators. Any
response that showed they occasionally read the news
papers or thought about life beyond the mountains of
central Pennsylvania would have been encouraging.
But there was no opinion there. Students who heckled
intervention service, will give the agency
the proceeds from Movin' On T-shirt sales
perhaps as much as $5OO to $l,OOO.
Bill Cluck, Undergraduate Student Go
verment president-elect, said he would
support fund-raising concerts in the fall for
On Drugs. Interfraternity and Panhellenic
Council leaders have said their organiza
tions would consider other types of fund
raising activities.
ASA should give priority to On Drugs
when it allots supplemental funding from
the yearly surplus in its budget.
These are the types of commitments On
Drugs needs from organizations. But from
individuals the anonymous phone call
ers, the people who attend On Drugs pre
sentations, students who attend the
concerts that On Drugs volunteers to
marshal it needs the commitment of
supporting these organizational efforts.
Without such dual support, On Drugs
could very possibly slip from limbo to non
existence.

The United States has not constructed
an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
since 1968. .•
During the same period (1968-80), the
Soviet Union has proceeded with the
largest peace-time armament build up in
history, surpassing us in virtually every
strategic category.

extended so that, to some degree, every

In addition to the USSR's disintegra

American public has suffered a moral
and psychological malaise, referred 'to
by some as the "post-Vietnam syn

The effects of this stagnation became
alarmingly evident with the Carter ad

failures. ,Most egregious (though every
one has their own favorites), were the
failure to protect U.S. diplomatic person

once their well-being was jeopardized,
inability to deter Soviet invasion of Af

status quo (sic) of Soviet combat troops
in Cuba.
By 1980, the public, fed up with the
inefficacious policies of Vance, Derian,
Church, McGovern, et. al., chose a new
course.
Despite overwhelming defeat, the ar

aggressive behavior is a "defensive"

Japanese nuclear accident
56 plant workers contaminated in cleanup
By DAVID LAMMERS
Associated Press Writer
TOKYO (AP) Fifty-six men were exposed to contam
inated waste in a nuclear power plant accident on the Sea
of Japan and the plant's executives may be indicted on'
criminal charges, the government said yesterday.
Fish sales froth the area plummeted as brokers across
Japan refused to buy the local catch.
In its first official statement on the accident, the Japan
Atomic Power Co. said eight plant workers were immedi
ately put to work mopping up the spill with buckets and
rags after it occurred March 8. The statement said a
subcontractor then supplied additional moppers who
worked for 15 more days.
The utility said the cleaners, totaling 56 men, were
exposed to no more than 155 millirems of radioactivity,
which puts the exposure level considerably under the
government-set limit of 3,000 millirems over a three-month
period.
However, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, which
regulates Japan's nuclear power industry, disputed the
company statement. It said it was likely the moppers were
exposed to dangerous doses of contamination because the
waste waterhad a relatively high level of contamination.
. Minister of Trade and Industry Rokusuke Tanaka told
the Japan Times the company may have violated the
Electricity Utility Industry Law by not reporting the spill
when it first occurred, and that its executives may be
criminally charged.
The Japan Atomic Power Co. said its "top officials"
may resign to "take responsibility" for the accident, which
a Nuclear Safety Bureau official called Japan's worst ever
in terms of "radioactive release."

said an official with the co-op. The fishermen pleaded for
the brokers to end the embargo and threatened to bring
, damage suits against both the government and the Japan
Atomic Power Co.
The spill was not reported immediately by the Japan
Atomic Power Co., operators of the U.S.-designed, 11-year
old plant at Tsuruga in central Japan. The story of
accident began to unfold after federal inspectors discov
ered abnormally high radioactivity in soil and water near
the 357,000-kilowatt plant. The plant was shut down on
April 1 for what was originally described as a routine,
three-month check and maintenance period.
The amount of waste water spilled has not been deter
mined, but newspapers have been quoting various sources
saying it ranged from as little as five tons to as much as 40
tons. Top government nuclear experts were sent to the
plant, about 190 miles west of Tokyo, to supervise the
investigation. '
In the United States, a nuclear industry source who
asked not to be identified by name or company affiliation,
said the water apparently leaked from a metal tank where
contaminated water was saved, possibly because a valve
was improperly opened.
The source said the water might then have gone into a
pipe that was used to transport non-radioactive water back
into the sea. He said the accident did not involve the
reactor.

Jerome T. Wolff testified in Circuit
Court that I. H. "Bud" Hammerman, a
friend and adviser to Agnew when he was
governor in 1967 and 1968, would solicit
money from consulting engineers who
had been awarded state contracts. Wolff
said he and Hammerman would each get
one-quarter of the money and Agnew
would get the rest.
Wolff acknowledged under cross-ex
amination that he never saw any money
paid to Agnew either when he was gover
nor or after he became vice president.
He also testified that Agnew "never
said to me that he was getting anything,"
but Said it was clear to him from other
things Agnew said that he was getting a
share of the money.
Earlier, Diana G. Motz, an assistant
attorney general, told Circuit Judge
Bruce C. Williams that the amount

Suit asks Agnew to pay restitution
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) A one-time
head of the State Roads Commission
described yesterday how former Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew allegedly ac
cepted the lion's share of more than
$lOO,OOO in kickbacks from engineers
while he was governor of Maryland.
The testimony came in the first day of
a civil suit seeking to force Agnew to pay
at least $298,110 to the state treasury as
restitution for the alleged bribes, plus
interest.
Attorneys for the state unexpectedly
asked for a one-day recess, saying open
ing day proceedings had gone so quickly
that they would not immediately be re
ady with more witnesses. Testimony was
to resume tomorrow.

sought would cover $177,500, plus inter
est, which she said engineers paid to get
state contracts while Agnew was gover
nor.
"It is clear that in abusing his high
office, defendant Agnew seriously in
jured the people of Maryland," Motz
said.
She said he should be required to make
restitution to fairly compensate the peo
ple of Maryland for "using the prestige of
his high public office for his own pur
poses."
The alleged bribes hurt taxpayers, she
said, because they resulted "in higher
contract prices or inferior work or a loss
of the best bargain or all of these
things."
Wolff, in accordance with an
agreement with the state, will be remov
ed from the suit after the attorney gener
al's office completes its case.
Hammerman was dropped as a de
fendant after he paid the state $30,000 he
alldgedly received in bribes and $22,455
in interest.
Motz said the $177,500 which the state is
seeking from Agnew includes $30,000
allegedly received by Wolff. Motz said
Agnew can be held liable for the entire
amount after Wolff is dropped as a de
fendant and that the state may seek
additional sums from the former vice
president as the trial progresses.
Agnew's lawyer, Thomas R. Harrison,
postponed his opening statement. Agnew
is not expected to testify, but his tax
records have been turned over to the
state.

The state won a victory in early skir
mishing when Williams ruled that
George White Jr., Agnew's lawyer from
1967 through 1973, must testify about his
legal relationship with the former vice
president.
Williams agreed with the state that.
Agnew waived his right to keep confiden-..
tial his conversations With White by
writing about them in his book, "Go
Quietly, or Else," an account of Agnew's
years in the Nixon administration.
Williams said that topics of kickbacks
and campaign contributions on which
Agnew is now trying to claim confiden
tiality "were essentially revealed to the
world in this book . . ."
It is not expected Agnew will testify,
but his tax records have been turned over
to the court. Agnew was not present
yesterday.
Included in records turned over to the
state is a settlement which Agnew nego
tiated with the Internal Revenue Service
after resigning as vice president.
Agnew has consistently maintained
that he is innocent of the charges.
The prosecutors alleged that the kick
back scheme began during the mid-1960s
when Agnew was Baltimore County exec
utive and that the payments continued
after he became vice president.
While details of the tax settlement
have not been officially released, The
Washington Post reported yesterday that
Agnew paid $172,00 in taxes, penalties
and interest on unreported income from
1967 to 1972.
