Two

on mountain
By MARK S. SMITH
Associated Press Writer
KRAKOW, Poland Pope John
Paul. II met with Lech Walesa in the
secluded quiet of the Polish hills
yesterday, ,then flew off to Rome to
end a historic homecoming that
inspired millions of his countrymen
in Poland’s time of trial.
“I again wish and hope that good
again will be triumphant over evil
in the Polish land ... This is my
prayer,” the pontiff said at Krakow
airport before departing.
But, in an emotional farewell to
his homeland, John Paul said
nothing of his meeting with Walesa,
leader of the banned Solidarity
union.
The encounter had been delayed
until the final hours of the eight-day
papal tour, and then was held
secretively at a mountain retreat,
distant from journalists and the
Polish people.
After returning to his home in the
northern seaport of Gdansk, Walesa
would say only that his audience
with the pontiff had been “a very
important moment in my life” and
left him “moved and enthusiastic.”
The dissident labor chief scheduled
a news conference for today.

Two senior administrators resign from University
By PHIL GUTIS
Collegian Staff Writer
Two of the University’s senior officers have announced
their resignations giving incoming University •
President Bryce Jordan two more items for his list
administrative priorities.
Loren M. Furtado, director of the Office of Planning
and Budget, announced Wednesday that he will retire in
October. And Theodore L. Gross, provost and dean of the
University’s Capitol Campus, recently announced his
resignation to become dean of letters and science at the
State University of New York at Purchase.
The University’s planning and budget officer for five
years, Furtado said with a new administration taking
office on July 1, it is time for him to retire.
“It is advisable for the new president to have an option
on how he is going to handle planning and budgeting,”
Furtado said. >
At first, Furtado said, he had planned to retire at the
end of June. But after talking with University President
John W. Oswald and Jordan, Furtado said he agreed to

Oswald, in comments released by the University
Office of Public Information and Relations, praised
Furtado’s work in the last five years.
“Since he joined the University in 1978, Loren Furtado
has helped guide Penn State through five difficult and
extremely important years with respect to budgetary
matters and long-range planning,” Oswald said. “He has
provided consistent and reliable counsel in these two
crucial areas and we will miss him greatly when he
retires in October.”
Looking back at his five years at Penn State, Furtado
said his accomplishments include “considerable
progress in bringing together the planning and
budgeting process.”
Also, Furtado said he has enhanced the information
systems used by deans, department heads and the top
management of the University. At the same time,
Furtado said, he has built a capable staff in the planning
and budget office and increased its analytical abilities.
When asked about the major challenge of being the
University’s chief budget officer, Furtado mentioned

Canaveral landing
to be shuttle's first
By MIKE FLORES
Associated Press Writer
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -The
space shuttle’s Florida landing
site is one of the world’s longest
runways —a 15,000-foot concrete
slab only five miles from the
shuttle launch pad.
If Challenger is cleared to touch
down at its home port today, here
is how it will proceed:
Shortly after sunrise the ship
and its five crewmembers will fall
out of orbit and hit Florida
airspace at a point between
Yankeetown and Crystal River on
the west coast.
Traveling northeasterly at
about five times the speed of sound
and 21 miles high, it will swing as
far north as the southern outskirts
of Ocala and then turn
southeasterly, gliding just north of
Orlando.
Near Sanford its speed will be
down to about 1,800 mph and its
altitude to 16 miles.
If wind direction permits it to
land from the north, it will fly over
Sanford at an altitude of about 10
miles. If it has to land from the
south it will glide just south of
Sanford and directly over
Titusville and launch pad 39A,
where it began its journey.
In either case, it will swing out
over the Atlantic and then circle
back in a tight loop for its final
approach to the runway.
President Reagan, speaking to a
Polish-American group in Chicago,
described the papal visit as “truly a
ray of hope for the Polish people.”
Reagan called on the Warsaw
leadership to lift martial law, free
political prisoners and reinstate
Solidarity, in exchange for an end to
U.S. economic sanctions against
Poland.
only one problem: “convincing the state government to
increase the University’s appropriation.”
While that continuing battle has been an “area of
frustratation,” Furtado said it has also been one of the
most interesting challenges of his career at Penn State.
Unfortunately, the University’s inability to convince
the state has caused an increase of student tuition, he
said.
Looking at the University’s future, Furtado said he
supports Jordan’s call for strategic planning.
“The University’s commitments are now in excess of
our capabilities,” Furtado said, adding that it is
essential for the University to undertake strategic
planning.
Jordan recently announced that he will appoint a
director of strategic planning to report directly to the
president. The director will help establish a process to
formulate specific goals and missions for each
University department.
After leaving the University, Furtado said he will
return to the San Francisco Bay area where he hopes to
do some consulting in higher education. He wants to
As the ship streaks unpowered
across Florida’s midsection in just
five minutes, it will produce a
sonic boom that NASA says should
be audible to people in an area
measuring 37 by 75 miles.
NASA spokesman Jim Ball said
that at its peak the sonic boom will
sound about as loud as an
automobile backfire or a clap of
thunder “from a lightning strike
about a half mile away.”
The intensity of the boom will
vary with the shuttle’s speed and
altitude, but “for a large portion of
central Florida, the boom will
remain at a level that may go
completely unnoticed by persons
indoors,” said Ball.
The $27 million runway,
completed in 1976, has a
microwave scanning beam system
designed to guide the shuttle
automatically to a precise
landing.
The runway is as wide as a
football field is long, and it has
1,000-feet overruns on each end.
Behind tall marsh grass on each
side of the runway are canals. A
fence behind the canal on the west
side keeps out wild boar, bobcats
and raccoons. Alligators inhabit
some of the canals and marsh
areas.
It will be the firs* time since the
program began in April, 1981 that
the shuttle will be returning to the
Cape on its own, without being
ferried bolted atop a Boeing 747.

Congress restrained
by Supreme Court
By RICHARD CARELLI
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - The U.S.
Supreme Court, in a decision
bound to change the way Congress
does business', struck down
yesterday the “legislative veto”
long used by lawmakers to rein in
regulatory agencies and override
the executive branch’s control of
billions in taxpayer dollars.
By a 6-3 vote, the court said the
veto device is unconstitutional.
At least temporarily, the
decision signals a momentous
shift of clout from the Congress to
the presidency. Deputy press
secretary Larry Speakes said
President Reagan was “pleased”
at the ruling; the president’s
counselor, Edwin Meese 111,
agreed that “it sounds good.”
Congress has demanded its own
“veto” power, as a leash attached
to some 200 laws, in exchange for
giving executive agencies broad
authority over policy matters.
Now, that leash is gone and
Congress is sure to scramble to
reassert some check of executive
rulemaking and decisions which
suddenly are not subject to
reversal on Capitol Hill.
Moreover, Congress will have to
rewrite all those laws containing
legislative veto provisions, and
likely will have to be more specific
and less generous in doling out
agency authority.-
In dissent, Justice Byron R.
White said: “Today’s decision
strikes down in one fell swoop
provisions in more laws enacted
by Congress than the court has
spend some time relaxing, Furtado said, but he also
wants to try to keep busy.
“I don’t want to be sent out to pasture yet,” 64-year-old
Furtado said.
Gross, the other administrator who announced plans to
leave the University, has served as provost and dean of
Capitol Campus near Harrisburg for the last four years.
Also in comments released by the University’s public
information office, Oswald said: “We shall miss Dr.
Gross and the fine job that he has done as provost and
dean at Penn State’s Capitol Campus.
“I understand very much the attractiveness of the
position he is taking in New York and wish him the very
best. In so saying, I appreciate very much the many
good things he has done for Penn State and the Capitol
Campus in the Greater Harrisburg Area.”
Gross said he is very excited about the SUNY at
Purchase position because he will be working with
developing curriculum and

cumulatively invalidated in its
history.”
One law that may need a major
revamping is the 1973 War Powers
Act, which authorizes Congress by
a concurrent resolution to end the
use of U.S. armed forces in
hostilities.
At the Justice Department,
Attorney General William French
Smith said he was ‘‘most gratified
by the Supreme Court’s decision.
The long-term effect of this
decision will be a better and more
effective Congress as well as a
more effective presidency.” Smith
called the opinion “strong and
compelling” and said it
reaffirmed the constitutional
principle Of separation of powers.
Experts say it may take
Congress decades before it fully
recovers from the court’s ruling.
Charles Tiefer, a lawyer who
works for Congress said,
“Considering the extensive use of
the legislative review device, it
will be years before Congress has
finished dealing with the issues
raised by this decision.”
Legislative vetoes, of both one
house and two-house varieties,
short-circuit the conventional way
a law comes into being. Under
legislative veto plans, Congress
passes a law allowing the
president or certain agencies to
issue regulations or orders having
the effect of law.
Those are sent to Congress in the
form of recommendations, and
will become law unless vetoed
within a certain number of days by
a majority vote.
