By GEORGE JAHN

BERN, Switzerland Vowing
never to yield to blackmail, the
Swiss government unleashed red
helmeted anti-terrorist police on the
Polish Embassy yesterday and
rescued five hostages and arrested
four gunmen in a bloodless swoop
that lasted only 12 minutes.
"I'm overjoyed to be freed.
Although I am very tired, none of us
came to any harm," embassy press
attache Stefan Piwowar said after
the lightning rescue, which
appeared to go off with the precision
of a fine Swiss watch.
New library
hours debut
tomorrow
By DANA BUCCILLI

Students who need a few extra hours in the
library will be glad to know that most
University libraries will be extending their
hours beginning tomorrow.
Hours for Pattee and most branch
libraries and reading rooms will be
extended by five hours each week, and the
Pollock Library will be open an additional
hour.
"Extended hours are a response to a
survey conducted by the Undergraduate
Student Government Academic Assembly
last spring," said Charles H. Ness, assistant
dean of libraries.
The survey indicated that students
wanted Pattee's hours to be extended. Oth
libraries were not included in the survey, he
said.
An increase in the library budget this year
permitted the extension.
The following revised library hours will
continue throughout the term and are
scheduled to continue through the "academic
year:
• Pattee (including Arts and Life
Sciences libraries) will be open Monday
through Thursday, 7:45 a.m. to midnight;
Friday and Saturday, 7:45 a.m. to 9 p.m.;
and Sunday, noon to midnight.
• Architecture, Earth and Mineral
Sciences, Engineering, Mathematics and
Physical Sciences libraries and reading
rooms will be open Monday through
Thursday, 7:45 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Friday and
Saturday, 7:45 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday,
noon to 11 p.m.
• Pollock Library will be open Monday
through Friday, 9 a.m. to midnight;
Saturday, 1 p.m. to midnight; and Sunday,
noon to midnight.
"Although library hours will be extended,
more library faculty will not be added,"
Ness said. "The library faculty now
employed will be adjusting their schedules.
"Many students have a legitimate need
for library use, but this may benefit faculty
as well in their research work."
USG heads resolve personal
communication problems

Collegian Staff Writer
A breakdown in communication
between the Undergraduate
Student Government's top two
executives has been resolved, USG
President Leni Barch said.
At last week's Encampment 1982,
Barch expressed frustration that
USG Vice President Lee Facetti
had not attended the event and
could not be reached because his
phone was not connected.
However, Barch said she and
Facetti met Wednesday and had a
"long talk" to work out their
differences.
The communication breakdown
should not affect the morale or
activities of USG, she said.
"From the beginning, it was
personal between me and him,"
Barch said.
But, last week Barch said Facetti
also missed a Sept. 1 Student
Advisory Board dinner.
"He isn't meeting the people he
should be meeting because he
hasn't attended the functions," she
said.
Barch said he may have had
legitimate reasons, but "I have had

is not meant to be convenient.
Facetti's idea of his
responsibilities as vice president
may differ greatly from her idea of
his role, she said.
Later, Facetti agreed that he
could have lost something from not
attending Encampment, but would
not say why he missed it.
However, he did say he was not

Facetti said that aside from
chairing the USG Senate and sitting
on SAB and other committees, the
role of vice president depends on ,

This year, , Facetti said his plans
include expanding USG's summer
job file to include jobs students may
obtain any time Of the year.
Facetti said he does not believe
his working relationship with
Barch will be harmed by the early
problems, but said "I can't speak
for Leni."
Last week Barch said, "When I
lose confidence in someone, they
can regain that confidence, but I'm
not sure to what degree."
However, she said, "If we get

said "negotiations served no further
purpose," that his government
would "never accept blackmail"
and sent the police in. Poland said it
might seek the gunmen's

After Wednesday's meeting, she
added that she could regain full
confidence in Facetti through day
to-day dependability.
Craig Millar, assistant vice
president for student affairs and
USG adviser, said student leaders
need to spend time together to
develop a working system.
This communication problem is
typical, he said, adding that he has
seen similar situations during prior
experience and his 1 1 / 2 years with
USG.
Student leaders must determine
how to best use their talents for a
particular job, he said.
Sometimes the talents that get
people elected are not necessarily
the ones that are good for certain
tasks, he said.
By a process of give-and-take,
student leaders must adjust to

In regard to Barch and Facetti,
Millar said, "I don't foresee them

was hailed as "a total success" by
Swiss officials, who conducted
virtually uninterupted telephone
negotiations with the gunmen, clad
in dark green camouflage fatigues
and armed with submachine guns.
They were led by a 42-year-old
former convict, Florian Kruszyk,
the self-styled "Colonel Wysocki,"
who claimed to lead the "Polish
Insurgent Home Army" after
having worked for the Polish
intelligence-gathering service. He
was described by Swiss officials as a
"mixture of patriot and criminal."
They said Kruszyk served most of
a nine-year prison term for a
jewelry store robbery in Vienna in
1969. The Austrian Press Agency
described Kruszyk as "an
inconspicuous prisoner" who spent
most of his term in a prison factory
making wooden plates and toys.
Furgler who headed the federal
crisis management team and joined
in the negotiations with Kruszyk's
band said the precision raid was
'budget-busting'
bill overridden by House
Veto of
By DAVID ESPO
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON The Democratic-
controlled House dealt a traveling President
Reagan his first major reversal on an
economic issue yesterday, voting 301-117 to
override his veto of a $14.2-billion money bill
he called a "budget-buster."
The margin was 22 votes more than the
two-thirds needed to overturn the veto. That
sent the bill to the Republican-dominated
Senate, where a similar two-thirds vote is
needed to enact the bill over Reagan's
objection.
GOP Leader Howard H. Baker Jr. of
Tennessee said the Senate vote would be
held today, and he viewed the outcome as
"uncertain." Mark Hatfield, R-Ore.,
chairman of the Senate appropriations
committee, is already on record against the
veto.
It was only the second time in nearly two
years the House has voted to overturn one of
Reagan's vetoes, and the first such action on
a major spending bill. The vote came as the
president was flying from Topeka, Kan., to
Utah on the first trip of his fall political
offensive.
"The big spenders won," Reagan told
reporters as he stepped from Air Force One
in Ogden. The president said he hoped to win
today's vote in the Senate.
Just moments before the tally, House
Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, D-Mass.,
appealed to Republicans who originally
supported the bill to "stay with your
conscience."
"Let's get America moving again. And
let's not leave these elderly, the
handicapped and the disadvantaged
behind," said O'Neill, who took the unusual
step of casting a vote. As speaker, O'Neill
normally votes only in' event of a tie.
In all, the measure was about $1.9 billion
below the amount originally requested by
the president, even though he rejected it as
too costly.
But by administration figures, it
contained $9lB million more in domestic
spending than the president wanted for
programs such as community service jobs
for senior citizens, mass transit, highways,

almost foiled by the attempted
suicide of one of the hostages, Col.
Zygmunt Dobruszewski, the
embassy military attache.
Early yesterday, Furgler said,
Dobruszewski swallowed pills in
hopes of killing himself and the
gunmen asked for a doctor. Doctors
talked to the military attache by
telephone said he was in good
condition. No doctor was sent to the
embassy.
Furgler said he then "received a
blank check" from the crisis team to
order the specially trained anti
terrorist police into action. "I didn't
want to run out of time," he said,
referring to today's deadline.
student financial assistance and aid to
education. It also cut $2.1 billion from
Reagan's defense request, although
Congress indicated it would approve that
money next year.
Since the bill was actually under Reagan's
overall request, House Republican Leader
Robert H. Michel, R-111., said the president
lost support because lawmakers did not
believe it was a budget-buster.
"The president's position is not very
defensible when every member gets up and
says we're a billion and a half (dollars)
under the budget," Michel said.
He said the House was telling Reagan:
"We've got a little bit different priorities,
Mr. President."
But GOP Whip Trent Lott of Mississippi
said the vote didn't mean Reagan has lost
his ability to sustain vetoes in the future.
"On other appropriations bills, if they're
over the budget, we'll have more than
enough votes to sustain the veto." Rather
than shying away from other vetoes "I think
he ought to bow up."
But Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-
Texas, said that after the setback "he
(Reagan) may not be so prone to veto
everything."
Rep. Silvio 0. Conte, R-Mass., the top
GOP member of the House Appropriations
Committee, supported the override, and laid
the blame for the situation at the doorstep of
budget director David A. Stockman.
"He (Stockman) certainly stubbed his toe
on this one. . . . I'd say it was as bad as his
interview in the Atlantic Monthly. I think he
told the president, 'You're riding high.
You're going to win this one,' " Conte said.
Earlier, Reagan had fought to make the
veto stick by offering a last-minute
concession to keep alive a politically
popular program providing jobs for 54,000
senior citizens.
"The president called me earlier . . . and
reaffirmed his support for that program,"
Michel of Illinois declared as he appealed
for votes to sustain the veto. He said the
funds could be provided in a later bill.
Democrats assailed the veto, as well, as
reflecting a desire by Republicans to spend
more on the military and less on social
programs.
