Rail strike
Reagan signs
new legislation
By H. JOSEF HEBERT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON President
Reagan signed emergency
legislation late yesterday that
ends the nationwide rail strike,
saying the action was "imperative
. . . to protect the' jobs" of a
million Americans.
The union representing striking
locomotive engineers within hours
issued orders for its 26,000
members to return to work and a
spokesman said some were to
report for to their.jobs at the
midnight shift.
By 'administration estimates,
the four-day walkout already
had put nearly a half million
people out of work. And Reagan
declared that if the strike were
to continue, it could cost the
economy "close to $1 billion a
day."
The president's signal
came hours after the Ho
by a 383-17 vote, passed
bill imposing a settlemi
on the union and rail
industry. The Senate lu
approved it by a voice
vote Tuesday night.
Reagan said he woul4
prefer for government
to stay out but the
mandated settlement
was necessary to
"protect the jobs or
our people and keep
both factories and
farms at work."
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, whose members,
struck early Sunday; all along had
said it would abide by a
government decree. Union
spokesman Richard Cook said last
night "it's a matter of hours now."
Amtrak, whose trains in the
West and South were halted by the
strike, said it would dispatch the
Desert Wind passenger train from
Ogden, Utah on its run to Los
Angeles at 11:59 p.m., Ogden time.
John Jacobsen, an Amtrak
spokesman, said the majority of
its trains would resume service
today although full operations
would not resume for another 24
hours.
Reagan, in his brief statement,
said that "within 10 days, steel
plants and additional auto
factories would begin to close," if
the strike were to continue. "By
far the most important
consideration for me is jobs. If this
strike were prolonged; nearly a
million Americans would face a
threat of unemployment."
"We cannot afford such losses,"
he declared.
"It's imperative that we act and
act quickly," Reagan said. "It
shows once again that when we
face difficult times, difficult
issues, that we Americans can
unite for the common good."

'We are Penn State'

In the future, not everyone may be able to
put the name "Penn State" on a sweatshirt or
make a Nittany Lion frank and sell it for extra
profit.
The University Board of Trustees last week
decided to register the University's name and
identifying marks with the U.S. Patent and
Trademark office and establish a formal
licensing program to control the use of its
symbols.
The trustees made the decision mainly for
protection, said George Lovette, associate
senior vice president for finance and
operations.
"If people use the name of the University for
a while, they can eventually get the rights to
it," he said. "This will also allow us to control
the quality of any equipment that has our
name on it."
Without this protection, the University's
name could be used on such items as firearms,
athletic equipment, alcoholic beverages,
tobacco products, or to advertise services

and I'm one of them, who prefer to
keep the government out of the
collective bargaining process."
But "We're also committed to
protecting vital national
interests," he said. "We just
protect the jobs of our 'people and
keep both factories and farms at
work. Our economy must stay on
the track of recovery. If the strike
were to continue, it could cost the
American economy close to $1
billion a day."
Transportation Secretary Drew
Lewis declared that "The
Congress has acted promptly,
wisely and decisively."
In the House, both Republican
and Democratic leaders said the
intervention was necessary.
"The health of the national
economy is at issue,"
Republican Leader Robert H.
Illinois said.

The joint
congressional
resolution, proposed by the
Reagan administration , , orders the
union to agree to a settlement
recommended by a special
presidential commission and
already endorsed by, the rail
industry and 12 other unions.
The agreement recommended
by the commission calls for a 28.8
percent wage increase over 39
months retroactive to April, 1981.
The engineers earn an average of
$36,000, according to the
Transportation Department.
The recommended settlement
calls for further negotiations,
however, on the issue of wage
differentials between the
engineers and other members of
train crews. But it would prohibit
the, union from striking again on
that issue.
The disputed differential, and
whether the union should retain
the right to strike over it, resulted
in an impasse between the
industry and the engineers. An
attempt to revive their talks
collapsed on Monday.
During floor debate, several
members of Congress expressed
concern that the government was
dictating a settlement.
Rep. James Florio, D-N.J.,
proposed a 140-day cooling:off
period as an alternative. But his
amendment was rejected 361-37.
After that defeat, Florio expressed
concern to government would
intervene in future labor disputes
as well.

theses, said Richard E. Grubb; senior vice
president for administration.
The action was also taken as the result of a
dramatic increase in the number of requests
to use the Penn State name and symbols for
commercial goods and services, Grubb said.
Lovette said his office was getting two or
three requests a week to use the University's
name for all types of things.
"It's unbelievable the number of people that
are trying to get into this act," he said.
The University was a little behind some
other major universities in registering its
name, Lovette said.
"We were getting so many requests for
licenses from people because the other
universities require them and they figured we
did too," he said.
In the future, any requests to use the
University's name and symbols will be
reviewed and if the proposed use is
satisfactory to the University, a license
agreement will be worked out that will impose
the necessary controls and restrictions, Grubb
said.

Israel shaken after massacre
By The Associated Press
Top Israeli officials resigned,
Arab protesters battled police
inside Israel and Menachem
Begin's government narrowly
headed off a challenge to its power
yesterday as the repercussions of
the Beirut massacre shook Israel.
U.S. Marines and French
paratroopers were sailing back to
the Lebanese capital, meanwhile, to
try to prevent more bloodshed.
Crews bulldozing through the
ruins of the Sabra and Chatilla
Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut
recovered more bodies yesterday,
bringing to 293 the total confirmed
killed in last week's slaughter of
civilians by Lebanese Christian
militiamen.
"That doesn't include those who
were thrown into holes made by
explosives," Red Cross spokesman
Jean-Jacques Kurtz said. "There
are certainly.many more."
Estimates of the final toll in the
predominantly Moslem camps
range from 300, by the U.S.
government, to 1,400, by the
Palestine Liberation Organization.
Israel's invasion army had the
two west Beirut camps surrounded
while the massacre was under way
late last week. Arab governments
and others hold Israel responsible

Last January, the University surveyed
major educational institutions in the country
and found that 28 schools, including the
University of Pittsburgh, have active, formal
licensing programs.
In February, Anne Bragg, director of
educational relations, told the Daily Collegian
that the University does not register its name
and trademarks because the cost of enforcing
their use would be too high.
However, Lovette said the different
manufacturers would police each other
because they would not want unfair
competition.
Many universities register their names and
trademarks so they can profit from them and
control their use. Those universities charge a
royalty to any manufacturer who puts the
school's name on anything from a sweatshirt
to a beer mug.
Newsweek magazine said the University of
Southern California now earns more than
$lOO,OOO annually in royalties, and UCLA sells
its blue and gold as far away as Tokyo.
Penn State is not yet planning to charge
for the bloodletting, and many
Israelis have called for an
immediate independent
investigation of the circumstances,
a call rejected by Prime Minister
Begin.
After a stormy session of the
Israeli Parliament yesterday,
Begin's Likud coalition defeated by
a 48-42 vote a motion calling for
such an inquiry.
"Mr. Prime Minister, Mr.
Defense Minister, whose stupid idea
was it to send the Phalangists
(Christian militiamen) into the
camps?" Shimon Peres, leader of
the opposition Labor Party, asked
in an impassioned speech. He called
for the ministers responsible to
resign.
Defense Minister Ariel Sharon
told Parliament the Israeli army
did help plan and support the
Christian militia raid on the camps
to drive out PLO guerrilla believed
hiding there.
But the Israelis "in our blackest
dreams" did not imagine that
hundreds would be killed, Sharon
said.
Although Begin rejected the
opposition demand for an
independent inquiry, Justice
Minister Moshe Nissim told
legislators the government would
Please see CANDLELIGHT, Page 3
"in the very near future take the
appropriate decision" on what kind
of investigation to conduct.
The debate was interrupted by
shouting matches among deputies,
and at one point placard-waving
demonstrators were evicted from
the galleries.

Lights, camera, action!
This Saturday's football,game
with Nebraska will be the first
game ever played at Beaver
Stadium under lights, Penn State's
athletic director said.
"Portable lights will be used
similar to the system used last
Saturday night at South Bend for
the (Notre Dame vs. Michigan)
game," Jim Tarman said,
"although that game started at 9
p.m.,,
Saturday's game will be
televised by CBS at 3:45 p.m., and
a supplemental lighting system
may be used during the game
probably during the fourth
quarter.
For the first time in NCAA
history, re salar season football is
being televised by two television
networks, ABC and CBS. Each
week, the networks choose which
game they want to televise, and
whether to carry the game in early
or late afternoon.
Tarman said it was CBS's turn
to pick first which game and time
slot it wanted, and the network
chose Penn State and the late slot
because the ratings are better for
games shown later in the day at
least this early in the season.
Because the game will begin
later than the usual 1:30 p.m.

followed at Beaver Stadium and

Harmon said.
royalties, though. Lovette said that is an
administrative decision to be made in the
future by the President's Administrative
Policy Council.
If the University does decide to charge
royalties, Lovette said it would do so by way of
the manufacturer.
Al Todd, marketing manager for Champion
Products Inc., said that even though the
manufacturer is charged a royalty, he does
not pay but charges the fee to the retailer. The
retailer in turn passes the cost on to the
customer.
Ray Agostinelli, owner of McLanahan Drug
Store, said if royalties exist, prices will have
to go up because the manufacturers just pass
on the increased cost to the retailer.
"The NFL has that kind of thing (royalties),
and it puts a higher price tag on everything,"
he said. "We're against it from that
standpoint; it's going to drive prices out of
sight.
"You raise prices sometimes and you
discourage consumers from buying."

legislators to give Israel's
first detailed account of the
killings last week. He said the
army helped plan and support
a Christian Phalangist militia
raid to drive out Palestinian
guerrillas believed hiding in
the Chatilla refugee camp.
But Sharon said his aides
never expected "in our
darkest dreams" that
hundreds of civilian men,
women and children would be
massacred.
The parking lots near the
stadium will be opened at 9 a.m.,
the usual time, but one-way traffic
patterns will begin at 11 a.m
rather than 10 a.m. The , pattern
will remain in effect for about two
hours after the game.
Stadium gates will open at 2
p.m., Harmon said. Usually,
student gates open at 11:45 a.m.
and public gates at noon.
Although the game starts two
hours later than usual, Harmon
said, fans may start tailgating at
the same time they usually do.
"If the weather is nice, people
come early to tailgate," he said.
"There are two extra hours people
may spend drnking."
Dave Stormer, director of
University safety, said he expects
very little change in behavior
because of drinking, but "the time
change will increase the duration
of tailgating before the game and
decrease the duration after the
game."
Traffic after the game could
also be affected by the time
change.
Stormer expects many people
who would remain for dinner in
the parking lots to leave right
after the game, which would
increase the volume of traffic
and slow it down.
"Traffic will probably be tied up
for an extra hour at least in
outlying areas of the community,"
he said.
After the game, some of the
portable lights used during the
game will be turned around to face
the lots, Tarman said.
