Pope sympathizes with Poles
Thousands of worshippers
line streets to see leader

WARSAW, Poland Pope John
Paul II came home to his anguished
land yesterday, beseeched by
adoring throngs of countrymen to •
“lift up our hearts,” and delivered a
powerful homily against the “sad
events” of Poland’s martial law.
The pontiff reached out quickly to
Poles imprisoned by the military
government, declaring his
sympathy with “those who are most
acutely tasting the bitterness of
disappointment, humiliation and
suffering, of being deprived of their
freedom, of being wronged, of
having their dignity trampled
upon.”
He was speaking, at the start of
his eight-day pilgrimage, at a
memorial Mass for the late Polish ~
primate Cardinal Stefan
Wyszynski, long an adversary of
Polish communism.
The pontiff’s motorcade drove to
St. John’s Cathedral past hundreds
of thousands of cheering Poles,
assembled in the biggest public
gathering here since martial law
was imposed in December 1981.
Missing from the singing, tearful,
prayerful crowds was labor leader
Lech Walesa, under the close eye of
police in the northern seaport of
Gdansk.
Pope John Paul’s tour is charged
with political tension.
It is his second homecoming since
becoming leader of the world’s 700
million Roman Catholics in 1978.
But since his last visit, in 1979,
communist Poland has passed

Compromise
not appealing
to President
By CLIFF HAAS •
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON A 1984 budget
compromise taking shape in
Congress, with higher taxes and
half the military spending boost
President Reagan wants, was
dismissed yesterday by Reagan’s
spokesman as “not very much to
our liking.”
“It doesn’t strike us as very
close to what the president
wishes,” said White House
spokesman Larry Speakes.
Nonetheless, budget negotiators
from the House and Senate
continued private discussions
aimed at refining details of the
spending plan and enlisting
support for it.
But several conferees
acknowledged that if Reagan
flatly rejects the final plan,
Congress may be unable to adopt a
budget this year..
“If he comes out swinging it
won’t make that much difference
in the House, but it could be
devastating to the chances in the
Senate,” said Rep. Leon Panetta,
D-Calif., a member of the House
Budget Committee.
Formal agreement on a
compromise is unlikely.

through a time of trial —widespread
labor unrest, the rise of Walesa’s
independent union Solidarity, the
suppression of Solidarity and
declaration of martial law. Poland’s
economy struggles along, one of the
world’s most depressed.
Both the outlawed labor
movement and the military
government hoped the papal visit
would boost their causes.
“Your visit is . . . proof of the fact
that the life of our country has
become more normalized,” Polish
President Henryk Jablonski said in
his welcoming remarks at
Warsaw’s Okecie Airport.
But a clandestine broadcast in the
name of Solidarity late Wednesday
addressed the pope and said,
“From your words, we shall draw
strength for further work.”
Clutching his white skullcap
against a stiff wind, the pontiff
stepped off his Alitalia jetliner at
5:04 p.m. following a two-hour flight
from Rome. A youthful chorus burst
into the old hymn “Hail Mother of
Poland,” and the pope bent to his
knees and kissed the tarmac, a
gesture that has become traditional
on his many travels.
He Was greeted by a file of
government officials, some of
whom bowed, knelt and kissed his
ring.
Replying to Jablonski’s remarks,
he wasted little time in speaking out
on behalf of those still in prison as a
result of martial law.
Reading from notes with
furrowed brow, the Polish-born
pope said he regretted being unable
to visit all his countrymen.

Senate urges
in search process
By PHIL GUTIS
Collegian Staff Writer
The University Faculty Senate
has approved a resolution urging
the Board of Trustees to allow
representatives of the University
community to “play an active role
throughout” future presidential
search processes.
In response to the procedure
used in selecting incoming
University President Bryce
Jordan, who takes office on July 1,
the senate unanimously approved
the resolution that calls for
broader input from the University
community in the selection of a
University president.
In selecting Jordan, executive
vice chancellor for academic
affairs at the University of Texas
System, the trustees established
two groups: the eight-member
Trustee Presidential Selection
Committee and the 15-member
Presidential Search and Screen
Committee.
The search and screen
committee was composed of
students, faculty members and
administrators but its input in the
selection process stopped after it
had recommended 15 candidates
from a pool of 301 applicants or
nominees. The trustee committee
interviewed the candidates and
made its selection without
additional input from the search
and screen committee.
The senate resolution
specifically requested that the
trustees organize a presidential
search committee composed of
administrators, faculty members
and students. That committee
should “serve as a consulting body
in all phases of the presidential
search,” the senate said.
input
The senate also urged that the
search committee or its selected
representatives be allowed to
“participate fully in the
determination of candidates to be
interviewed and in the interviews
of those candidates.”
And the senate also suggested ,
that “prior to the final selection of
the new president by the Board of
Trustees, the. committee or its
selected representatives shall
have the opportunity to offer its
recommendations concerning its
evaluation of final candidates.”
The senate stressed that its
concern about the selection
process of a University president
“does not relate in any way to the
acceptability or qualifications of
the newly appointed president,”
but instead to the “actual role of
University faculty and
administrators in the selection
process.”
Before the faculty resolution
reached the senate on May 24,
however, it had been the object of
a disagreement between former
senate Chairman Joseph Dixon
and University President John W.
Oswald, members of the senate
faculty affairs committee said.
The faculty affairs committee
originally wanted the resolution to
be considered at the senate’s May
3 meeting, but a vote was delayed
after Dixon received a phone call
from Oswald, said one committee
member, who asked to remain
anonymous.
At a meeting he called with the
faculty affairs committee, the
committee member said, “Dixon
said he had the*conversation (with
Oswald) and implied that it was
not the most cordial phone call.”

Correction
Because of an editing error, a
headline in yesterday’s Daily
Collegian incorrectly implied that
health screening would be
available in Lock Haven for
citizens who may have been
exposed to toxic chemicals while
the Drake Chemical Co. operated
there.
The Collegian learned late
yesterday that Gov. Dick
Thornburgh eliminated the
$120,000 intended for the health
screening from an $B2 million
deficiency spending bill.
In Monday’s issue, the Collegian
will take a look at the reaction in
Lock Haven to Thornburgh’s
decision.
