4—The Daily Collegian Thursday, Sept. 22, 1983 End of line for Rolling Rock Races By The Associated Press PITTSBURGH The Rolling Rock Races, where the elite have met for 45 years to benefit charity, have been canceled, the sponsor said yesterday. "This action was described as being a reluctant, but thoughtful decision based on a combination of economic and practical factors which the involved participants could not ignore," said the Mellon Trust in a statement issued through a public relations firm. "Such factors as the need for other use of the land, higher labor costs and the need for increased security in regard to public safety were cited," the statement said. Ketchum Public Relations, which distributed the an nouncement last night, said no other information would be released about the decision. "I got a few phone calls and I heard little rumors, but I paid no attention because I've been hearing rumors for years," Dolores Sinopoli, assistant to the chairmen of the race, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Mellon Trust owns the Rolling Rock Hunt Racing Course in Ligonier and conducted the races with. the Rolling Rock Hunt Racing Association and the Rehabilita tion Institute of Pittsburgh, which benefited from the proceeds. The 1983 races were field last week in the moutain community of Ligonier.

War Powers Act: By MIKE SHANAHAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON The House Ap propriations Committee voted yes terday to cut off funds for U.S. forces in Lebanon unless President Reagan agrees to invoke the War Powers Act acknowledging a con gressional role in deciding how long 1,200 U.S. Marines should remain in Beirut. The 20-16 party line vote marks a repudiation of a compromise War Powers resolution agreed to by Reagan and most congressional leaders, including Democratic House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill. "If we don't stand up to our constitutional responsibility to de clare war, we don't deserve to be elected," said Rep. Clarence Long, D-Md., chairman of the commit tee's foreign operations subcom mittee and author of the proposal. Long's amendment was attached to a stopgap spending bill which must be approved by Oct. 1 to keep most federal government agencies operating. Under the amendment, unless Reagan submits a report to Con gress formally invoking the act, the House and Senate could call the troops home, and the funds for U.S. forces in and around Lebanon would be cut off Dec. 1. House Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-Texas, described the Ap House pressures Reagan to invoke act propriations Committee vote as a "somewhat peremptory action" and suggested that "it might . . . be wise for the Committee on Appro priations to hold off just for the time being and give the (Foreign Affairs Committee) an opportunity to perform the duties that have been imposed upon it by the law." Rep. Bill Alexander, D-Ark., chief deputy Democratic whip and a member of the Appropriations Committee, said the vote "says that the members of this body will take any opportunity that is pre sented to express their deep con cern about the president's policy in Lebanon . . . I think it was intended to send a clear message to the president of that deep concern." The compromise resolution, Which Long opposes, would allow the Marines to remain another 18 months, but would be initiated by Congress, not by the president as spelled out in the Vietnam-era War Powers Act. Reagan has also said he has constitutional objections to the War Powers Act, even though he has agreed to sign the compromise worked out after careful negotia tions with• senior White House aides. In the Senate on Tuesday, Secre tary of State George Shultz said although Reagan will sign the com promise resolution, the president does not intend to share responsibil- Special Dinner Thursday: September 22, 'B3 Serving from spm-7pm Spaghetti Dinner $3.95 incl. our salad bar, French, garlic & pumpernickle bread; hard rolls and butter Appetizers and Desserts a la carte You may bring your own wine or malted beverage to Founders Room Special Dinners. We will be pleased to serve these beverages ity on the deployment of U.S. mili tary forces overseas. In testimony before the House Foreign Affairs and Senate Foreign Relations committees, Shultz said repeatedly that Reagan had serious constitutional objections to the War Powers Act under which the resolu tion was drafted. With or without the war powers resolution allowing 1,200 Marines to remain in Lebanon for 18 months, Shultz said the United States has no intention of widening its military role in Lebanon. "There is no plan to change the mission we have in Lebanon. If such a plan would emerge, we would consult with Congress about it," Shultz said. At the same time, Shultz refused to say if Reagan would seek further congressional approval if the Ma rines are still in Lebanon after the 18 months spelled out in the com promise war powers resolution worked out between Reagan and congressional leaders. Reagan expressed reservations about a provision in the compro mise dealing with the president's obligations to Congress under the War Powers Act of 1973. But he said that if the House and Senate ap prove the measure, 'lt'll send a signal to the world that America will continue to participate in the Multinational Force trying to help that nation back on its feet."
