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

further possible expulsions had been
PSU explores new
funding concept
By DAMON CHAPPIE

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

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.

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

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

spies by Gordievski have fled the

the Soviet Embassy several weeks
ago.
“It is understood the people he

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.
