Preacher carries cross onto Mall By BILL KRAFTSOW Collegian Staff Writer He wears a jacket bearing the likeness of a bleeding Jesus on his back. And if that fails to draw students' attention, he hopes that the large cross he carries will draw more than just a look. Yesterday marked the arrival of Michael Woroniecki, a new preacher, to the University. Woroniecki, 28, is a former "rowdy" football player from Central Michigan University who tore up his knee in a spring game and lost his girlfriend the same day. Those events led to despair and a desire to become serious about God, according to a pamphlet he distributes. At that point in his life he was "born again," he said. Woroniecki said he became disenchanted with the church and its organization system, and began a search for a true approach to Jesus that eventually led to his disgust for all organized religion. He spent two years at the Melodyland School of Theology in Anaheim, Calif., where he again became disenchanted with the "system," he said. From Melodyland, the young preacher entered the Fuller Theology Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., where he received a master's degree in theology and divinity. Woroniecki said he found Fuller to be worse than Melodyland because the preachers there seemed more professional and the value of the dollar more evident. Yesterday afternoon, Woroniecki and his wife, Leslie, who, like her husband, is a former Catholic, preached their beliefs to passersby along Pollock Road. The couple, who for the past two years has been traveling around the country, has turned preaching into a family affair. Students witnessed the Woronieckis' 2-year-old daughter, Sarah, carrying a sign while their 3- month-old daughter, Mercy, manned a baby stroller with another sign attached. Many students ignored the preaching family, but some expressed annoyance. Lintz Rivera (3rd-general arts) said the "Jesus on the back (of the jacket) could be interpreted as sacrilegious. The cross is OK but a picture like that, no way." Bryan Newman (10th-business logistics) said "the preachers argue and don't listen to students.!' Michael Woroniecki promised University Police Services officers about noon that he would use discretion in his preaching. However, not long after he had been told by a police supervisor to "tune down or go to the foot of the mall," Waroniecki shouted to three men walking past him that, "I'm not here. Take the easy way out. Just ignore me." The Woronieckis have been arrested for disturbing the peace several times during their travels. Their most difficult times occurred at the • University of Southern California campus where Woroniecki got into a confrontation with homosexual students, he said. Reagan announces Marines' return By JAMES GERSTENZANG Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON President Reagan said last night that American Marines will re-enter Beirut within hours to take up a peacekeeping mission that will last until the Lebanese government is in full control and "able to preserve order." Reagan told a White House news conference the Marines will return President Reagan the daily With cross in hand and daughter Sarah by his side, Michael Woroniecki prepares to preach to students along Pollock Road between Willard and Schwab buildings. Woroniecki and his family arrived at the University yesterday. this morning to the Beirut mission from which they were withdrawn on Sept. 10, and "I can't tell you what the time element will be" on the duration of their stay. "The Lebanese government will be the ones to tell us when they feel that they're in charge, and we can go home," Reagan said. He said he believes all Israeli and Syrian forces will be withdrawn "rapidly," with the U.S., French and Italian peacekeeping olle • ian contingent back on the job. He said the Marines will go ashore today when Israeli forces are withdrawn to a line south of the Beirut airport. Reagan said Syria also has said it is willing to pull back its forces. On other points, Reagan: • Said he "never has had any thought" of undermining the Israeli government of Prime Minister Menachem Begin because of its resistence to his Middle East peace proposals. He said he does not believe the Israelis are trying to undermine his plan, despite their rejection of his call for a Palestinian autonomy under Jordanian supervision on the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip. Reagan said he thinks both sides in the Middle East are trying to stake out negotiating positions. • Once again defended his economic program, saying that there are signs of recovery soon, and blaming the Democrats for persistent problems of recession and unemployment. "We still have a long way to go but together we pulled America back from the brink of disaster," he said. Reagan was asked what he would do if new fighting should erupt, and embroil American forces in Lebanon. He said he does not expect that, then declined to discuss further a question he called hypothetical. In what has become a news conference pattern, Reagan began with a prepared statement defending his economic program and blaming the Democrats for recession and unemployment. He said inflation has been cut in half, interest rates are declining,, and "there are other signs that we're heading toward a good recovery." The president acknowledged that there is a long way to go, with economic indicators pointing to a continuing slump and with unemployment at 9.8 percent. But he said "we're better off than we were." He urged Congress to act before its campaign recess on economic bills including appropriations to fit his budget, a constitutional amendment to require balanced budgets in the long-term future and the administration job training bill. The president also: • Insisted that the Justice Department is going to court in an effort to overturn existing school busing orders on a case-by-case basis only in instances where the local communities involved are trying to get the orders changed. In many cases, he said, it is the black community that is taking a leadership role in seeking the changes. 'The Lebanese government will be the ones to tell us when they feel that they're in charge and we can go home.' • Asked why his administration is moving to counter desegregation orders obtained under prior administrations, Reagan said, "Well, I suppose it's because there's been so much court ordering and some of it seems to be a violation of the rights of the community, of the school board and so forth." • Said adminstration sanctions aimed at countering Soviet involvement in Poland and elsewhere are successful because they have given the Soviets "a pretty good understanding . . . where we stand." "The Soviet Union, which has been expanding over the years . they haven't expanded an extra Troops set for return today By The Associated Press A dispute over the Israeli presence at the Beirut airport was resolved yesterday and the 1,200 U.S. Marines assigned to the Beirut peace force will begin their delayed landing today, according to reports in Tel Aviv and the Lebanese capital. The Israeli government, meanwhile, approved a full-scale judicial inquiry into the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians in west Beirut. The PLO's chief of staff Brig. Saad Sayel, code-named Abu Walid was reported ambushed and killed in eastern Lebanon. President Reagan told a news conference in Washington last night that the Marines would enter Beirut today after the Israelis withdraw to a line south of the airport. He said the U.S. troops will stay until the Lebanese government is "able to preserve order." But he added, "I can't tell you what the time element will be . . . The Lebanese government will be the ones to tell us when they feel that they are in charge." Reagan said he believes all Syrian and Israeli forces will leave Lebanon "rapidly" following the full deployment of the foreign peacekeepers, who oversaw the PLO evacuation from Beirut earlier this month. Israeli troops and armor evacuated the Beirut harbor yesterday, as demanded by the United States, France and Italy, which are supplying more than 3,000 peacekeepers at the Lebanese government's request. The Israelis still were in the airport and in parts of east Beirut The United States has said the Marines, originally scheduled to land last Sunday, will not deploy until Israel withdraws from both halves of the city. Diplomatic sources in Beirut said yesterday that Israel was insisting on keeping a civilian air traffic controller at the airport even after the Marines land U.S. diplomatic sources in Tel Aviv reported later, however, that the dispute was resolved, and the square inch since we got here," the president said. • Ruled out a tax increase next year "unless there's a palace coup and I'm overtaken or overthrown." • Disputed contentions that many of the budget cuts he has pushed through Congress have been particularly harmful to poor people while the middle class gets a tax reduction. "In a number of instances, those cases have nothing to do with our budget cuts," he said, citing reports of people suffering from losing benefits. Instead, he suggested, bureaucratic error is often responsible for truly needy people losing government benefits He said the decrease in the rate of inflation, coupled with rising —President Reagan wages and benefits, has resulted in people at the povery level having "about $6OO more in purchasing power" per year than they would have had if inflation had continued unabated. • Said a pending sale of F-16 fighters to Israel "is still on tap" even though no formal notification of the sale has been sent to Congress. Referring to strife in Lebanon, the president said, "Frankly, in the climate of things going on, we didn't think it was the time to do it." • Declined to comment on the National Football League players' strike beyond saying "it doesn't seem there was the consideration for the fans that there could have been and should have been." Wednesday, Sept. 29, 1982 Vol. 83, No. 48 14 pages University Park, Pa. 16802 Published by students of The Pennsylvania State University Israeli military command said its troops would leave west Beirut, including the international airport, today. Details of the reported resolution were not immediately available. Washington officials said they were operating under the assumption that the withdrawal from east Beirut also will be finished today. "We are expecting the Americans in the next 48 hours. We told them they could land at the airport. If the Lebanese government agreed, it was OK with us," said Lt. Col. Yaacov Perez, deputy spokesman at the Israeli military headquarters in Baabda, five miles east of Beirut. Lebanese government sources, the American sources in Israel, Lebanon's state-run radio and the privately owned "Voice of Lebanon" station all said the U.S Marine contingent would begin landing today. About . 100 Israeli soldiers, along with armored personnel carriers, jeeps and trucks, rolled out of the Beirut harbor area yesterday morning. One Israeli soldier threw a green smoke bomb at a group of Lebanese. Asked where they were going, one Israeli soldier said: "Home, I hope." Israel's presence at the port was an embarrassment to the French and Italians, who, while insisting on a total Israeli withdrawal, landed their troops at the harbor following a request by President Amin Gemayel, Bashir's brother. The Italians have already landed 1,170 men and the French 1,080. Maj. Jean-Claude Villevielle of the French peacekeeping force said 482 troops serving with the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon would arrive in Beirut today to join the multinational force French paratrooopers and Italian infantrymen took up positions in and around the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps to help the Lebanese army prevent more bloodshed in the aftermath of the Sept. 16-18 massacre of hundreds of men, women and children in the camps. • All 2,000 Livingston, La., residents are evacuated as a 101- car freight train derails causing explosions and a fire Page 6 • Democrat Mel Hodes, can didate for the 34th District state Senate seat, criticizes Gov.
