PSU to get wise on energy
By KATHY JO MAPES
Collegian Staff Writer
The U.S. Department of Energy
Institutional Conservation Program
recently awarded the University two
grants to improve building energy
efficiencies, the University manager
of energy conservation and electron
ics said yesterday.
J. Carroll Dean said the University
received the two grants from the
federal program for energy conser
vation studies and implementations.
The University received this year’s
first grant of $158,080 in July. The
grant, called a Technical Assistance
Grant, funds energy efficiency stud
ies for buildings.
The grant will finance the study of
air flow systems, heat recovery sys
tems, lighting modifications, storm
windows and air conditioning in 27 of
190 heated University buildings, Dean
said.
The second grant of $327,450 will
fund energy-saving installations.
Dean said he submitted the proposal
for that grant in May and was in
formed of its acceptance in August.
The grant, an Energy Conservation
Measure Grant, is not as likely to be
received as the Technical Assistance
Grant because a high number of state

institutions make proposals for it.
The institutions that show the most
efficient plans for use of the money
are awarded the grants, he said.
Dean also said those institutions
proposing to return the money within
one to five years are more likely to
receive this grant than the institu
tions proposing a 20-year payback.
The Institutional Conservation Pro
gram has awarded the University at
least one grant every year since the
program began four years ajgo, Dean
said.
Ardeth Johnson, coordinator of cus
tomer information and services, said
convincing people to conserve energy
is a major problem. People consider
their individual comfort before con
sidering energy conservation, she
said.
One step the University has taken
this year is turning off unnecessary
lights with a key, Johnson explained.
“There is only so much you can do
with the buildings, then you have to
start changing people’s behavioral
habits, such as the habit of leaving
the lights on when leaving a room,”
Dean said.
Yet, the University is as energy
efficient as any of the state hospitals
and schools, Dean said.

Organization Fair gets
large student response
By PAT COLLIER
Collegian Staff Writer
Although attendance was sparse
during the morning hours of the
Organization Fair’s first day, hun
dreds of students . streamed,
through the HUB Ballroom and
Fishbowl yesterday afternoon to
inquire about the more than 100
student organizations that were
represented, an official of the Of
fice of Student Organizations and
Program Developmept said.
The fair, which will continue
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today, is
replacing what was formerly the
Jast stop after registration in the
Intramural Building, said Gayle
Beyers, assistant director of the
office.
Phil Williams, computer chair
man of the Organization for Town
Independent Students, said his or
ganization’s display had attracted
a satisfactory number of students.
“We’ve had a lot of responses,”

potential new members. All in all
it’s been a pretty successful day.”
Overall, Williams said the Orga
nization Fair was a success.
“There have been a lot of people
in and out this afternoon,!’ he said.
Jeff Dellinger, vice president of
the Campus Crusade for Christ,
agreed with Williams and said,he
favored the more voluntary sys
tem.
“I think registration takes so
much emotional energy on the
part of the students that they’re
uninterested in the organiza
tions,” Dellinger said. “It made
the dubs suffer.”
Dellinger said he believes that
with the present system, students
have had some time'to settle in
and recover from registration be
fore they need to think about their
social activities.
“Now they can think naturally
about the clubs and activities that
Penn State has to offer,” he said.

election riots
By TOM BALDWIN
Associated Press Writer
JOHANNESBURG, South Afri
ca Election boycotters shot at
police yesterday and officers
opened fire with rubber bullets,
police said, as Asians voted for the
first time for their own segregated
chamber of Parliament.
With 30 of the 40 districts report
ing, the turnout averaged about 18
percent of the 411,711 registered
voters, according to unofficial tab
ulations early this morning.
The count slowed to a trickle
after midnight and final results
were not expected until later to
day.
Leading were the Solidarity
Party and National Peoples Party,
with each winning nine seats in the
40-seat chamber with half of the
votes counted. They are the major
Asian parties and were expected
to control the new assembly.
The size of the turnout was re
garded as an expression of the
degree of support among South
Africa’s 850,000 Asians for the
governing National Party’s new
constitution and three-chambered
Parliament one for one
for Asians and one for people of
mixed race.
Candidates blamed low atten
dance at the polls on intimidation
by the boycotters.

Jetliner, with 204 aboard, hijacked by Iranian couple
By MOHAMMED SALEM
Associated Press Writer
BAGHDAD, Iraq A young, unarmed
Iranian couple yesterday forced an Iran Air
jetliner to fly to Iraq, where they surren
dered, freed their 204 captives and said they
wanted political asylum.
Iran and Iraq have been at war for four
years. Iran accused Iraq of sending war
planes to force the hijacked plane to land in
Iraq, a charge an Iraqi official called “ri
diculous.” He said the hijackers would be
granted asylum, and that the crew and
passengers also would have that option.
In New York, Iranian Ambassador Said
Rajaie-Khorassani said yesterday he had
asked U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez
de Cuellar to use his “good offices” to seek
the safe return of the airliner, its crew and

Associated Press Writer
BEIRUT, Lebanon Israeli
warplanes attacked a suspected
Palestinian guerrilla base three
miles from the Syrian border yes
terday in their second raid on
Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley in two
weeks, and dozens of people were
reported killed or injured in the air
raid.
Sunni and Shiite Moslem mili
tiamen clashed early yesterday
the first time in nine years of civil
war the two groups have been
reported fighting each other. Two
people were killed and six others
wounded.
Reporting on the Israeli air raid,
Lebanon’s government radio and
police and hospital sources in Bei
rut said most of ihe casualties
occurred when a three-story build
ing used to house prisoners was hit
and nearly demolished.
Israeli military sources in Tel
Aviv said the base was'a com
mand and staging post for Pales
tinian guerrillas loyal to dissident
Palestinian Col. Saeed Mousa,
also known as Abu Mousa.
Reports conflicted on the exact
number of casualties. The state
radio said 25 dead were pulled
from thej building, and the police
sources, who spoke on condition
they not be identified, said the
dead included guards at the make
shift prison and imprisoned guer
rillas loyal to Arafat. The sources
said as many as 40 prisoners may
have been held in the building.
Abu Mousa told reporters the air
raid had taken the lives of four of
his fighters and four Lebanese
suffered minor,wounds.
Scores of boycotters were
wounded in clashes with police in
Lenasia
Police said the gunfire broke out
in Lenasia during confrontations
between police and crowds of peo
ple urging an elections boycott,
and that fighting continued there
after sundown. They said protes
ters threw gasoline bombs.
Police said they fired rubber
bullets into crowds of protesters.
“Three shots were fired at po
lice from one unknown car,” Craf
ford said, but no one inside was
hit.
Residents in Lenasia reported
the violence subsided shortly be
fore midnight.
Boycott organizers said the ex
pected low turnout would discredit
the election. They contend the all
white chamber of Parliament will
dominate the separate houses for
Asians and people of mixed race
because it has veto power over the
new chambers. The nation’s 22
million blacks still have no vote or
representation.
Candidates acknowledged the
new system was flawed, but said
participation was the only way to
force change from within the gov
ernment. And Prime Minister
P.W. Botha said his government
will seat the three chambers
whatever the voter turnout in
September.

effort, 30 percent of registered
voters of mixed race legally
designated as “coloreds” in South
Africa elected their own cham

Francois Giuliani, spokesman for Perez de
Cuellar, said the secretary general would do
“whatever he could to help.'”
The male hijacker, who identified himself
only by his given name Behrouz told,
reporters at Baghdad airport that he and his
girlfriend were “planning to request politi
cal asylum in Iraq, because this is the only
country where we can live freely.”
Behrouz said he and his girlfriend, identi
fied only by her first name, Ferechte, “com
mandeered the plane 10 minutes after it
took off from Shiraz,” a city in southern
Iran, on a flight to Tehran, the Iranian
capital.
“We did not use any weapons to hijack the
plane. We only told the captain that we have
explosives . . . and that we would set them
off if he did not proceed to Iraq,” Behrouz

civilians. He said five people were
injured, but denied the building
had been used as a prison, saying
instead that it was “a military
base.”
The government radio said bull
dozers were still working well
after dark to clear rubble in a
search for victims. It said the toll
of dead and wounded could rise to
100.
In Damascus, a spokesman for
the PLO rebels maintained that
none of their fighters was killed
and that the building that was hit
housed Lebanese farmers. He said
four people were killed and four
wounded, all Lebanese civilians.
Reporters were blocked from
the area, about 25 miles east of
Beirut.
The Israeli military command
said the jets hit near the village of
Majdel Anjar and returned safely
to their base in Israel. It said the
targets were command and stag
ing posts of PLO guerrillas headed
by Abu Mousa. Another PLO base
five miles away was attacked by
Israeli jets Aug. 16.
The Israeli statement about yes
terday’s five-minute air raid the
14th such Israeli raid this year
gave no reason for the action.

Shiite militiamen in predominant

Iraqi officials escorted reporters to the

ple. Although reporters saw the passengers

airport, they were not allowed to speak to
them. The passengers and crew were taken
to a Baghdad hotel for the night, Iraqi
officials said.

French freighter Mont Louis, 12
miles off the Belgian coast, in pre

cargo from the bottom of the North

Belgian Environment Minister

France’s secretary of state respon

yesterday from the French navy
patrol ship Glaive.
The Mont Louis is resting in 46

Later Lengagne told reporters:
“Divers have surveyed the site and
the real work can start toward the

Ugandan unrest:
750,000 flee northern skirmishes
By ROBERT WELLER
Associated Press Writer
MPIGI DISTRICT, Uganda -
Hundreds of thousands of Ugan
dans from the Mpigi, Luwero and
Mubepde districts have fled their
fertile land in fear of persisting
violence, although there has been
no large-scale fighting in the area
since 1982.
The government of President
Milton Obote estimates that 750,-
000 people have been displaced by
fighting in the three districts north
and west of the capital the
“Luwero Triangle.”
The former inhabitants are peo
ple of the once-dominant Baganda
tribe from whom the guerrillas
fighting Obote draw their
strength.
Few have returned home, al
though almost any habitable place
in this verdant, hilly land could be
cultivated and quickly grow fruit.
But army operations against the
rebels continue, and the United
States and human rights groups
allege that army troops have
killed or starved to death about
200,000 people in such operations.
Obote’s government will not es
timate the number of dead in the
war but called the claims of up to i
200,000 exaggerated. Obote said in
a speech on Sunday that he would
not negotiate with the guerrillas,
who claim his presidency is fraud
ulent.
The Bagandans have opposed
Obote since he overthrew the Ba
gandan monarchy in 1965. Obote
himself was toppled in 1971 by Idi
Amin, a Kakwa tribesman, and
returned to power after a 1980
election following Amin’s ouster
and two interim governments.
passengers and crew would have three
choices: “To stay in Iraq, return to Iran, or
leave for any destination they choose.”
The official, who spoke on condition of
anonymity, dismissed the Iranian claim
that the jetliner was forced to land in Iraq.
“This Iranian claim is ridiculous,” he said.
“You have two Iranian citizens here who
are stating they have hijacked the plane.”
Behrouz said the pilot "received Iraqi
approval to land in Iraq while we were in
Kuwaiti air space and we then proceeded
directly to Iraq.” The plane was denied
landing permission in Kuwait. There was no
explanation why the hijacked jet went to
Kuwait from Iran before landing in Iraq.
Iraqi officials refused to say where the
hijacked Airbus landed. The passengers,
crew and the two hijackers were flown to
Baghdad on two Iraqi Airways jets.
The Daily Collegian
Wednesday, Aug. 29, 1984
Yesterday, opposition leader
Paul Ssemogerere called on the
government to begin peace talks
with rebels, saying that from 300,-
000 to 500,000 people have already
died and 1 million have been dis
placed in the four-year war.
Ssemogerere, leader of the mi
nority Democratic Party, told a
news conference most of the
deaths resulted, from “massive
retaliations by government troops
whenever and wherever guerrillas
strike.”
Ssemogerere said there was no
military solution to the insurgency
because victory by either side
would lead to bloody reprisals.
The insurgents of the National
Resistance Army are led by Yowe
ri K. Museveni, who briefly served
as defense minister after Tanzani
an troops ousted Amin in 1979.
Museveni and the Democratic
Party claim the December 1980
voting that brought Obote’s Ugan
da People’s Congress to power
was rigged.
Ssemogerere said yesterday
that the United States, Britain and
European Common Market na
tions should force Obote to nego
tiate an end to the war.
Triangle refugees, interviewed
in Kampala, backed a claim by
Anglican Bishop Misaeri Kauma
of Kampala that more people have
died since Obote took power than
during the B'/2-year rule by Amin,
whose name was a dread word in
Uganda by the time he was over
thrown.
A clergyman in the area, who
spoke on condition neither he nor
his church was identified for fear
of reprisals, said the few people
who have returned to Mpigi are
token representatives.
The official Iranian news agency, in a
report monitored in Cyprus, said the hi
jacked jet landed at an Iraqi military base
near Shatrah, some 150 miles southeast of
the Iraqi capital. The Islamic Republic
News Agency said the plane carried 195
passengers and 11 crew members.
IRNA quoted an unidentified Iranian For
eign Ministry spokesman as saying “this is
the first time in the history of world aviation
that a passenger plane has been hijacked
and forced to land with the help and under
pressure exerted by a country’s fighter
planes.”
The Iranian news agency added: "Even
though the hijackers were liable to prosecu
tion and punishment under international
law, as expected a press conference has
been arranged for them at Baghdad air
port.”
