Britons prepare response to Soviets By MARK S. SMITH Associated Press Writer LONDON (AP) British leaders, furious over Moscow’s retaliatory expulsion of 25 Britons, held urgent discussions Sunday to decide whether to order out more Soviets following the defection of a purported top Sovi et spy. Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe began what he said were “ur gent and careful” talks with aides on how to reply to the Kremlin’s an nouncement of the expulsions Satur day. Howe was said to have been in constant touch with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Press Association, Britain’s do mestic news agency, said the govern ment would announce its response before Thatcher leaves Monday af ternoon for a fOur-day visit to Egypt and Jordan. The Sunday Telegraph, a strong backer of the prime minister, report ed that Britain “was ready to hit back... and send home more Rus sians.” In background briefings for report ers, British officials said a list of further possible expulsions had been PSU explores new funding concept By DAMON CHAPPIE Collegian Staff Writer The University administration will submit a 1986-87 budget that calls for no tuition hike to the state legislature later than usual be cause of a new funding concept that may bring more money to the University. “Because of our concerns about access to this public university,” University President Bryce Jor dan told the Board of Trustees Friday, “and the fact that tuition rates have risen for 18 consecutive years, we are proposing to base the preliminary budget plan on current tuition levels.” “No-tuition-increase” budgets have been proposed for many of those 18 years to no avail, because the state has consistently given the University less money than it needs. In an attempt to halt the spiral ling increase in tuition, Jordan, along with the presidents of Penn sylvania’s two other research in stitutions the University of Pittsburgh and Temple University in Philadelphia —■ have hammered out a new concept that would give more money to the three research schools. Under “differential funding,” Penn State, Pitt and Temple would be recognized as providing unique research programs that the 14 state-owned universities do not. According to this concept, the three research universities would get a higher percentage of state appropriations. Jordan said the guidelines of differential funding are just now being worked out with the state Department of Education and will not be finalized until later this month. Since the new guidelines will significantly affect the Universi ty’s budget request, Jordan said, the Board of Trustees did not approve a preliminary budget at their September meeting on Fri day as is customary. The adminstration will submit the budget to the state legislature in early October and the trustees the daily drafted to be acted on if the Soviets made more than a token response. British newspapers said meanwhile that Oleg A. Gordievski, reputed KGB spymaster in London whose defection set off the expulsions, was instrumental in the conviction of a Briton for spying last year and may have forced other Britons working for Moscow to flee the country. Britain announced the defection of Gordievski, a counselor at the Soviet Embassy, on Thursday. It said on the basis of information he furnished, BHtain was giving 25 Soviet diplo mats, officials and journalists three weeks to leave the country. In unusually blunt language, the Foreign Office declared they were all spies. The Soviets ordered an equal num ber of Britons to leave Moscow for activities “incompatible with their status,” diplomatic parlance for espionage. The list included 18 diplo mats, two businessmen and five jour nalists. The Sunday Times, quoting uniden tified intelligence sources, reported that Gordievski, who allegedly was the Soviet secret service’s No. 2 man in London at the time, betrayed Brit- will receive the budget at the November meeting, he said. “The major efforts currently underway regarding the requests for differential funding are of such critical importance to the future of Penn State and public higher edu cation in Pennsylvania that we must make exceptional efforts to accommodate the possibility of progress in this most important area of public policy,” Jordan said of the delay of the trustees’ appro val. Jordan said money from differ ential funding is targeted for three areas: “critically needed scientif ic and engineering equipment, (funding for) deferred mainte nance, and funding for programs of special opportunity which are unique to the University and to the Commonwealth such as, for exam ple, the biotechnology program.” Jordan said the effect of differ ential funding on the University’s budget this year will “not be mon umental, but it will be a start. We are just adjusting to a new concept that the three public research uni versities have a special mission. We have to go from there.” In other business, the trustees learned that a plan to enclose the football practice field with an air bubble is floating away in favor of a metal frame building. The University has considered covering the outside football prac tice field along University Drive with an air-supported fabric bub ble to allow the football team to practice year-round. But after vis iting the bubble facilities at the University of lowa and the Minne sota Vikings’ practice field in Min neapolis, the administrators said it may be too hot in the spring and summer to practice in the bubble, which is not well ventilated. Instead, the University is lean ing toward building a 65-foot-high metal frame around the field along with a storage area, a weight room, study rooms and offices. Ralph Zilly, University vice president for business, said final plans will be ready for trustee approval in January with con struction beginning in the spring. Collegian ish double agent Michael Bettaney to British authorities. Bettaney was described at his trial last year as a 35-year-old middle ranking operative of MIS, the British counterespionage agency. He was given a 23-year prison term. Prosecu tors said he gave Mls’s assessment of KGB operations in Britain to the Soviets in a vain bid to become a Soviet agent. The Sunday Times said the KGB chief in London then, Arkady Gouk, was identified during Bettaney’s trial and later expelled from the country, permitting Gordievski’s promotion to the top job. According to The Sunday Tele graph, a number of Britons named as spies by Gordievski have fled the country since he disappeared from the Soviet Embassy several weeks ago. “It is understood the people he named during debriefing sessions... included more than one man working" for the MIS or MI6 intelligence serv ices who have been passing secrets to the Russians,” the newspaper said. However, it added, “the key men have fled and others less important may have been allowed to leave the country on condition that they stay D.J. does it again Lions’ tailback D.J.

Merrill Lynch chair to head campaign By DAMON CHAPPIE Collegian Staff Writer The chairman of Merrill Lynch & Co., William A. Schreyer, will lead the University’s unprecedented five year capital fundraising drive that is expected to bring in more than $175 million. Schreyer, a 1948 University grad uate, was named chairman of the policy-making body that will guide the “Campaign for Penn State” through five years of raising money for academic programs, scholarships and new buildings. Schreyer will head a 20- to 24-mem ber board that will make policy and set the goal of the officially unan nounced campaign. The names of the other board members have not been released yet, University President Bryce Jordan said, because Universi ty administrators have not yet con tacted everyone they want to serve on the board. The campaign is expected to be officially kicked off sometime next year and although the goal has not been set, several administrators have predicted it may be more than $2OO million. Jordan aimounced Schreyer’s ap pointment at Friday’s Board of Trust ees meeting. He said Schreyer has been working on the campaign with David Gearhart, University vice president for development and Uni versity relations, for about 60 days. away.” No prosecutions were likely, it said. British officials have insisted that the spying dispute need not prevent improved relations with the Soviets, which both Thatcher and Soviet lead er Mikhail Gorbachev have advo cated. However, the swiftness and severi ty of the Soviet expulsions appear to have surprised and angered the Brit ish. “I’d rather expected something more of a token response,” said Sir John Killick, British ambassador in Moscow when Britain’s then prime minister, Alec Douglas-Home, ex pelled 105 Soviet officials for spying in 1971. The Soviets replied by expel ling 18 Britons. Killick said that within a couple of weeks of the 1971 expulsions, it was “business as usual” between the two countries. “(But) Mr. Gorbachev, as a new leader, has a domestic need to show himself to be tough, not to be a weak man,” Killipk said in a BBC inter view. “A second very important (rea son), I suspect, is they wish to create a kind of deterrent effect, lest other countries follow suit.” Schreyer “has been a faithful sup porter of the University and will bring his ojwn unique brand of energy, commitment and leadership to this unprecedented campaign,” Jordan said. “He is one of the most visible alumni on the scene. He’s known coast-to-coast,” the president said. The 57-year-old Schreyer has spent his entire working career at Merrill Lynch, the worldwide financial serv ices company, which he joined as a junior executive trainee in June 1948 after graduating from the University with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He rose through the ranks to upper level managerial positions in Merrill Lynch’s regional offices and subsidia ries until he was elected president of the company in 1982. He became chief executive officer of the Trenton, N.J.- based company in July 1984. “I am excited by the opportunity to be able to help my alma mater,” Schreyer said in a news release. “Our challenge will be to reach out to the thousands of people whose lives, like my own, have been enriched by the Penn State educational experiences and who can now help perpetuate and enhance that experience for the thousands more who will follow in our path. “Improving the quality of educa tion at Penn State is certainly an investment in the future of the state as well as the nation,” Schreyer said.

Underage arrests down at Sat. game By SCOTT ALDERFER Collegian Staff Writer University Police Services re ported yesterday that they made several alcohol-related arrests at Saturday’s football game at Bea ver Stadium, but the number seemed to be down from previous years, said Officer Robert Ben nett. “Everything appeared to be down,” he said. “The (statistics) seem to show that we weren’t nearly as busy with those viola tions as in past seasons.” Bennett said in 25 incidents at the stadium Saturday, University police issued 46 underage drinking citations. In addition, he said, his department issued three citations for public drunkenness, two for possessing altered driver’s licens es, four for theft, three for disor derly conduct, two for drug law violations and one for simple as sault. University police confiscated 14 beer kegs throughout the day. “There were quite a few tail gates where people were arrested for furnishing alcohol to minors,” Bennett said, although the actual number was not immediately available. He said serving minors is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $2,500. SOVIET TRADE DELEGATION “At this point, as an officer working on an arrest team, I’d say we had a lot less alcohol viola tions,” he said. Last year, 114 people were ar rested mostly for alcohol-re lated offenses the weekend of the first home football game against Rutgers University, according to figures provided in November by police Supervisor Cliff Lutz. Lutz said at the time that the number of arrests decreased with each football weekend, partly be cause of police enforcement ef forts. University police arrested 51 people for state liquor law viola tions the day of the Boston College game Nov. 3. Bennett said the apparent de crease in alcohol-related viola tions Saturday was probably due to a number of factors. “It’s been a combination of press information, people knowing their liability and people just cleaning up their acts,” Bennett said. “A lot of students either curtailed or controlled their alco hol habits.” He said University police will continue increased patrolling of tailgate party areas at the remain ing home football games this sea son. lATKDNAL COUNCIL SOVIET MBASSY OFFICES AP Lasarpholo Collegian Photo/Jell Buatraan
