co,:istate/nationNtrorld Local unions plan new strikes in Poland By THOMAS W. NETTER Associated Press Writer WARSAW, Poland (AP) Challenging the Polish Parliament and national union leaders, local Solidarity unionists planned new strikes and vowed yester day. to continue wildcat protests now idling some 250,000 workers across the country. Prosecutors in the Baltic port of Szcze cin began a criminal investigation of focal Solidarity leader Marian Jurczyk for a speech he gave,. calling legislators and the government "traitors to Polish society," the official PAP news agency reported yesterday. It was the first reported investigation of a senior Solidarity official in the union's 15 months of existence. - Walkouts are scheduled by Solidarity chapters in at least six cities this week, but officials could not immediately be reached to say if they planned to cancel the protests in light of an appeal by Parliament on Saturday to end them. , The Solidarity National Commission is Begin attacks Saudi proposal for Mideast peace By ARTHUR MAX Associated Press Writer JERUSALEM (AP) Prime Minister Menachem Begin sharply attacked Saudi Arabia's peace proposal yesterday as "a plan for how . to liquidate Israel in stages" and called on Washington to reject it. Begin, interviewed in Israel on the ABC News pro gram, "Issues and Answers," said the Jewish state felt threatened by apparently growing support in the United States and Europe for parts of the Mideast peace blueprint advanced two months ago by Saudi Crown Prince Fand. The Israeli leader sent a friendly but firm letter Friday to President Reagan, disagreeing with the U.S. view that the Saudis might be on the verge of recogniz ing Israel's right to live in peace, according to an official who said he saw the letter. The official asked not to be identified. . Yesterday, Begin appealed to the White House "to reject without any equivocation whatsoever the eight points (outlined by) Crown Prince Fand because they mean the opposite of peace," He warned that if the Saudi plan "should ever be adopted by anybody, then it would be a great obstacle to the peace 'process . . . a complete deviation from the Camp David agreement." The Saudi plan originally was dismissed by Washing ton as representing nothing new, but the State Depart ment said Friday it welcomed some aspects and had "some problems" with other parts. It said the United States was "encouraged" by the clause implying recognition of Israel.

The worst outbreak of wildcat walk outs since the independent labor feder ation was spawned in August 1980 showed little sign of abating. Strikes some of them up to three weeks old continued in Zyrardow, Tarnobrzeg, Zielona Gora and Sosnowiec over food shortages and other issues. Many local leaders remained adamant that strikes would continue until labor disputes are resolved. "The strike committee considers all important matters, and it will have to consider both the Solidarity leadership and Sejm (Parliament) resolutions," said a spokesman for striking unionists in Tarnobrzeg. "But the strike will certainly continue today and under the current circum stances, there is almost no chance that the strike committee will decide to stop Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin capital. It proclaims the right of Mideast states to live in peace. Israel said it was excluded since the Saudis refer to Israel as "the Zionist entity'! rather than a state. Israel, which claims Jerusalem as its own capital, regards a Palestinian state as a potential base for its enemies and the Soviet Union. Begin said Israel will not withdraw to its 1967 bounda ries because the long-range weapons its neighbors have acquired since pose a threat to most of Israel's popula- believe that the in the next day," he added The union official cited the "stubbor ness" of government negotiators who demanded the protest be suspended be fore talks commence. The Sejm said in its resolution Satur day that such protests endangered Po land's existence an apparent reference to continuing economic de cline. Poland has an estimated $27 billion foreign debt to the West and its lack of hard currency has exacerbated the strike effects by curtailing Poland's abil ity to import raw materials needed for its manufacturing base. One parliamentary deputy from Tar nobrzeg, Zdzislaw Malicki, told the Sejm that the Tarnobrzeg protest had already cost $5 million in lost sulphur exports from Poland. Grzegorz Popielczyk, spokesman for some 12,000 striking women in Zyrardow, a textile center west of here, declared: "We won't end the strike until we have a real guarantee of conditions in which we can at least survive." SAT scores vary widely across country Difference may be as high as 300 points, according to survey By CHRISTOPHER CONNELL Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Students' av erage Scholastic Aptitude Test scores vary by as much as 300 points from state to state, according to a new survey. But the main reason for the differences is that relatively few students took the college entrance examination in the states with the highest scores, according to College Board officials. - The College Board, which announced in September that the national 'average SAT scores among last year's college bound seniors was 424 in verbal and 466 in math (890 combined), has never released a state-by-state breakdown. But the board gave the state scores to state education commissioners, and Edu cation USA, a weekly publication, can vassed the commissioners and reported the results for the first time. The women in Zyrardow have been on strike for 20 days to protest the town's scarce supplies and poor quality of food. In southwestern Zielona Gora, where atxiut 150,000 workers have been on a province -wide strike for 10 days, Solidar ity spokesman Mieczyslaw Osmian said, "The strike is still on. "We are waiting for a competent gov ernment commission for talks," Osmian said, "and we have the full support of (Solidarity leader) Lech Walesa. He told us, 'I treat this problem as my own.' " In Sosnowiece, a coal-mining center near Katowice in southern Poland, strik ing miners retained their sit-in at a local coal pit where a chemical-throwing inci dent hospitalized some 60 people ' Most of those hospitalized have been released but the miners refuse to return to work until an investigation is com pleted. At least six local coal mines have threatened to join the protest this week. The government has already dis patched soldiers to the provinces to help The official who revealed that Begin had written Reagan said the letter reflected Israeli apprehension that Washington is drifting too close to Saudi Arabia after Reagan's victory in winning Senate approval for the sale of Airborne Warning and Control System . Begin said the Senate's approval last week of the $8.5 billion arms deal did not seriously jeopardize the Israeli-Egyptian peace process or Israeli relations with the United States. He said Israel would withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula on schedule next April. Aides said Defense Minister Ariel Sharon postponed a scheduled trip to Washington this week partly to show Israeli displeasure over the Reagan administration's favorable comments on the Saudi plan. When Begin opens the Israeli Parliament's winter session today, he is expected to focus on Israeli-U.S. relations. In geirut, Lebanon, the magazine Monday Morning quoted Egypt's ambassador to Washington as saying chances are better than ever for the United States to talk to the Palestine Liberation Organization. "I feel there is ample opportunity, much more than ever before, for us to move into an atmosphere in which that . dialogue will take place," Ambassador Shraf Ghorbal was quoted as saying. He was asked if he believed Washington would start pressuring the Israeli negotiators in the current Pales tinian autonomy talks, and he replied, "Yes, I believe so . . . I believe the voice around the world is 'let us lose no more time."' Cairo newspapers quoted Egyptian Minister of State Butros Ghali as saying Egypt and Israel have postponed the Nov. 8 resumption of Palestinian autono my talks until Nov. 11. Each half of the test is scored on a scale of 200 to 800. The highest average score was in lowa, where 1,300 seniors, or 3 percent of all seniors in lowa, scored 515 on verbal and 566 on math for a combined score of 1081. The lowest average scores were in South Carolina 374 verbal, 406 math, 780 combined where nearly 20,000 seniors, or 48 percent of the graduates, took the SAT. Among the other test scores were: Pennsylvania 421-459-880 (89,548, 48 percent), Maryland 423461-884 (30,182, 49 percent), New Jersey 414-450-864 (72,143, 64 percent), New York 427-471-898 (144,163, 59 percent), and Ohio 457-500-957 (25,922, 15 percent). Robert Cameron, the College Board's executive director of research and devel opment, said, "The lowa students taking the test are (probably) going to compet- Space shuttle stands ready, countdown goes on By HARRY F. ROSENTHAL Associated Press Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) Astronauts Joe Engle and Richard Truly pored over their flight plans Saturday with space shuttle control lers who will guide their five-day journey. The gleaming white ship, meanwhile, sailed through day one of its countdown to Wednesday's launch. Right now, we have zero prob lems," said countdown director Norm .Carlson. The astronauts, in Houston, were undertaking a final review of the thick 'flight plan for the return mis sion to space. "It's a light weekend for them. Nothing is organized,"said John Lawrerice, a spokesman for the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration. "We are trying to back itive colleges such as the University of Chicago, Stanford (and) the Ivies." Most students in lowa and other Midwest states take the rival exam offered by the American College Testing program of lowa City. Cameron said it is harder to explain score gaps between states where similar percentages of students took the SAT. In Maryland, for instance, more than 30,000 seniors, or 49 percent, took the test and averaged 423-461-884, far above South Carolina. In other national tests, such as the federally sponsored National Assess ment of Educational Progress, students in the Southeast usually lag behind stu dents from other Tegions of the country. Cameron said the gap between'north ern and southern states may reflect the lingering effects of segregation and dif ferences in per capita income. Monday, Nov. 2 6 off quite a bit so they'll be refreshed and rested and not exhausted." Engle and Truly have been stay ing at their' homes in Houston, rather than in the crew trailers normally used during the countdown stage of a flight. They will fly their own T-38 trainers to the cape today. The number of "primary con tacts" who can get close to the men has been cut from 700 people for the first shuttle flight to 200. Doctors try to limit contact to cut down on chances of colds and other commu nicable diseases. Liftoff is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. EST Wednesday, just a few minutes after dawn at the cape. If all goes well, Engle and Truly will fly the Columbia for 83 orbits, landing on Rogers Dry Lake on the Mojave Desert in California. Early Saturday, engineers ,in 65 different shuttle operations were polled for the readiness of their systems and at 1 a.m., as scheduled, the shift director announced "the launch countdown is now in pro gress." , The countdown includes 73 hours of scheduled work and 29 1 / 2 hours' hold time, designed to allow crews to rest and for catchup duties if nec essary. Engineers were optimistic that the lessons learned on'the maiden flight of Columbia last April will smooth the way for Launch 11. "We are better off" this time, said countdm4n director Carlson. • Just before the scheduled launch time, astronaut John Young com mander of flight one will land a plane that handles like the shuttle on the Kennedy Space Center runway, which is the emergency landing strip if Columbia has to abort right after liftoff. His word is important if conditions are marginal. Project engineer Ellis said the crosswinds on the runway yesterday morning at 7:30 a.m. would not have permitted launch. The Cape has been buffeted by dawn rains in recent days, and light ning is a key concern, said Roland Raab of NASA. "We are reasonably protected on the pad, but in flight it's different," he said. "Any time there is a light ning strike on a flying , vehicle, it affects the electronic equipment in some way. Since the shuttle is so much more complex, the problems lightning creates would be .much more complex." Mississippi scored well above the na tional average, with scores of 473-502-975. But fewer than 800, or 2 percent of its seniors, took the SATs. "Frankly, our youngsters who take the SAT do very well on it. Most children in our state take the ACT," said Mississippi Superintendant of Education Charles•E. Holladay. Cameron said the College Board dis courages state-by-state comparisons be cause of the wide variances in how many students take the SAT. . One million seniors take the SAT each year. They represent one-third of their high school classes, and two-thirds of those who go on to college. The national average held steady this year for the first time since 1968, 'raising hopes that the decline in SAT scores that began 18 years ago has been arrested. Halloween ghouls possess By DIANE L. ROWELL . Daily Collegian Staff Writer It was supposed to be just another Halloween. A Halloween with the usual costumes, parties, scary movies and too much candy. It was just another Halloween until the vampires, werewolves and walking dead came to life and took up residence at the Haunted Crow House, 425 Locust Lane, this past weekend. The deathly looking creatures with their white faces, hallowed eyes and blood-itained cheeks and hands stood on the porch of the house, peered from the windows and called to the unknowing souls passing by. Trick-or-treaters, thrill seekers and Halloween scrooges were all invited to test their courage at Alpha Chi Rho fraternity's Haunted House if they dared. The Haunted Crow House, a traditional Halloween event put on by the fraternity, has been held the past seven years to benefit Strawberry Fields a community living arrangement for mentally retarded young adults. Last year the fraternity raised $2,700 from donations, canning and the admission charge to enter the haunted house. This year, Alpha Chi Rho expects to raise between $2,900 and $3,100 after it finishes counting the collected funds. "Overall, everything went very well," said Haunted House co-chairman Bill James. "We raised over $7OO from canning which was double what we had anticipated." James said Alpha Phi sorority was very helpful in its support and time given. to the project. The ' community and State College merchants were also an important factor in the success of the Haunted House, with their donations of needed materials and supplies for the project, James said. On Thursday, Friday . and Saturday nights, the Haunted House crew opened the creaking doors and pushed aside the cobwebs to welcome the costumed studeng and residents of State College. • The front yard of the house was transformed into a graveyard with tombstones that read: "I told you I was sick," "Vacancy" and "Pitt." The graves were conveniently located beside some lynching apparatus that was the scene of periodic "hangings." The ghoulish residents of the Haunted House limped and wobbled out of the house, dragging their next victim to be hanged. "Hang 'em," they chanted. "Die!" "Go ahead, hang him.

As the line becathe longer, groups of four or five people were let in past the front gates of the house to wait on the steps before entering. No smoking signs and figures emerging from the shadows greeted the guests as they clutched on to each other. "Anyone who gets me mad shall hang," a ghoul said to his waiting group. "But what if I told you I had a gun?" one girl said. "I don't really care," the ghoul said. "I'm already dead." At the door, a silver-faced creature greeted the guests and told them to pay before entering. "We don't know if you'll come out again," the silver creature said: haven't eaten in a while." Inside, a Dracula look-alike sat up from his casket and licked his chops as he looked suspiciously at everyone's neck. Organ music, eerie laughter and screaming came from all over the house as the guests were led from room to room never quite sure what was ahead of them. The flesh and bodily remains of a human dinner on a table, blinking lights, a torture chamber, a human dart board and a dark maze were just some of the A7l ®N Juniors, Seniors, Grad Students mom Build Your Credit through mas'ea ! 9e and/or tqsA memo Guaranteed "Bank Action" Application are available to 1,000 Penn State University Students through CSA on a first come, first served basis only!

Crow House features that caused the guests to cower and clutch on to each other. The creatures inside, of unknown origin, pawed and poked at the people passing by to make sure they were still alive and breathing after their journey of fright. "Do come back," the ghouls said in their deep throated voices. "We'd love to have you for dinner." Some ran and others walked as they left the Haunted House, but most agreed it was a scary trip. A Dr. Gonzo Gates, his patient and accompanying hospital administrators, were all in agreement that the house definitely "haunted" them. After recovering from their shock and rubbing the self inflicted finger nail marks from' their arms, Halloween became business as usual. "Halloween is just another excuse to party," said Dr. Gates, alias Steve Shore (Ist-business) from Ogontz. The Texas Chainsaw Masochist ("I inflict wounds upon myself"), another person who survived the Haunted House and could talk about it, said the house held 'a few good scary surprises. He also seemed to enjoy taking up where the ghouls left off. As a young girl emerged from the house clutching her heart and trying to recover, the chainsaw masochist sprang from behind a parked car and proceeded to scare the girl into running down the street screaming. "On Halloween, I let my inhibitions run wild," said Dennis Barclay, the chainsaw masochist and a 1980 University graduate. As the evening progressed and the late night Halloweeners emerged from their parties and mischief making, the line outside the house became full of some of the more creative examples of University students' ingenuity. Cigar-smoking Arabs, mummy housewives, a preppie nun and several males dressed in women's clothing waited their turn to enter the house. "Oh, is this Halloween?" an unidentified transvestite said. "I simply loVe dressing like a woman. Halloween is no excuse for me." A pregnant nun and her three "sisters" blessed themselves and others as they waited on line. "I like to let my real inner self out on Halloween," said pregnant sister Annie Keiser (4th-accounting) as she patted her protruding stomach. The werewolves howled and the ghouls continued to giggle as they watched their favorite night of the year pass into the twilight. It was just another Halloween for them.
