state/nation/world Marcos begins campaigning By RUBEN G. ALABASTRO Associated Press Writer MANILA, Philippines President Ferdinand E. Marcos plunged into campaigning yesterday hours after his surprise call for a Jan. 17 presi dential election. His squabbling foes met to pick a common candidate against him. Marcos told reporters he was the only issue in the election. He rejected the idea of an election for the vacant vice presidency, saying he wanted to remove all doubts about the populari ty of his leadership. "Let it be a one-on-one fight . . . Let Marcos stand up," he said. Political rivals said U.S. pressure for democratic reforms in the Phil ippines to counter a growing commu nist rebellion almost certainly helped spur Marcos' announcement. Two weeks earlier, he had indi cated there would be no sudden elec tion. Marcos went vote-hunting hours after he announced plans to call a special election, choosing as one stop the Tarlac home province of Benigno Aquino. Critics of Marcos, who has governed for 20 years, have accused him of involvement in the 1983 assas sination of Aquino, his chief political rival. "We need the snap election to con vince the world that our program is supported by the people," a presi dential palace news release quoted the 68-year-old Marcos as telling 8,000 Tarlac farmers. "We need foreign loans, financial assistance and for eign investments." The president said Sunday on ABC TV's "This Week with David Brink ley" program that he would call a U.S. urges fair election WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) The Reagan administration said yester day that unless an election called by. Philippines President Ferdinand "E. Marcos is "free, fair and open," the winner won't have the credibility to govern successfully. And U.S. critics of the Philippines . government, who think Marcos' sur prise announcement of an election in January is a tactic to ensure his continuance in power, said balloting so early won't give opponents a chance to get organized. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., chair man of' the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said "the timing of the elections may put some groups in a position where they would not be able to take full advantage of the demo cratic process." Charles Redman, a State Depart ment spokesman listed four condi tions being sought by the United States. They are: • That "the Philippine military Nelson Mandela hospitalized Winnie Mandela, wife of jailed African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela, visits her husband at the Volks Hospital in Cape Town yesterday where he underwent a prostate gland operation Sunday. With Mandela is her son- In-law Prince Thumbumuzi Diamini."The whole army" seems to be guarding my husband's hospital room, Winnie Mandela said. "He is fine. The doctors seemed to do a very good job." A court sentenced Mandela to life in prison in 1964 for planning sabotage, a charge the former gold•mine guard, professional boxer and Johannesburg lawyer never denied. Mandela started the armed wing of the African National Congress, a blacklights organization had advocated peaceful protest from Its founding in 1912 until 1961 when it took up arms. Mandela's years in prison have failed to undermine his influence, and the government in January offered to set him free If he renounced violence. Mandela, 67, responded in a message delivered by one of his daughters, Zinzi, that he would stay in his cell until the government renounced what he called the violence of the apartheid system. spot election "in three months or less." He told crowds yesterday it would be Jan. 17, subject to National Assembly approval, the palace news release said. Marcos' party holds a two-thirds majority in the assembly. Jan. 17 is the anniversary of the 1981 ending of eight years of martial law. The opposition's National Unifica tion Committee representing a dozen parties met in emergency session in Manila to discuss mechanics for choosing a common opposition stan dard bearer. Opposition leaders said they were ready for a special presidential elec tion. But they demanded that Marcos first resign to meet a constitutional requirement that a vacancy must exist. Marcos' current six-year term ends in 1987. Marcos said he would ask the as sembly to pass a law allowing him to call for a presidential election with out resigning. ' Homobono Adaza, an officer in the National Unification Committee, said one suggestion at yesterday's meet ing was that the NUC, if pressed for time, endorse either former Sen. Sal vador Laurel or Aquino's widow Co razon for president. The National Unification Commit tee was formed this year to pick a single standard bearer from the dis sension-wracked opposition parties. Aquino has expressed reluctance over accepting. a possible draft. She told reporters yesterday she would announce her decision after she gets a million signatures of peo ple who say they want her to run for president. conduct itself in a professional man ner during such elections." In parlia mentary elections in 1984, soldiers providing security at polling places were accused by opponents of intim idating voters. • A fair election law. A new elec tion law is under discussion in Ma but after lengthy debate no action has been taken. • A truly impartial commission on elections. Opponents say the current election body, which certifies winners and judges balloting disputes, is con trolled by Marcos loyalists. • An accredited independent citi zens' election monitoring organiza tion. In the 1984 elections, independent monitors were per mitted to observe only two-thirds of the ballot places, resulting in Marcos' candidates winning victories that should rightly have gone to oppo nents, according to Rep. Stephen Solarz, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House subcommittee that deals with Asian affairs. Relatives of Yelena Bonner, wife of Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, react as they listen to Bonner over a speaker phone. Sakharov also spoke, and told the Newton, Mass. family that he had ended his hunger strike. It was the first Sakharov's wife granted By CAROLYN LUMSDEN Associated Press Writer NEWTON, Mass. Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov, speaking with relatives here for the first time in six years, said yesterday he is recovering after losing 44 pounds during a hun ger strike that ended after the government said his wife would be allowed to leave the country for medical treatment. Sakharov, 64, and his wife, Yelena Bonner, 62, were contacted by his stepchildren and mother in-law by lelephohe in Gorky,l,vhere he was exiled in 1980. Sakharov's voice on the phone was a surprise to the family, which had Scheduled the call last week following reports that Bonner had been given permission to leave the country. She has been abroad three times for eye treatment, most recently in 1979. Bonner plans to go to Siena, Italy, at the end of the month to consult with an ophthalmologist about her eye problems, then to Boston for coronary bypass surgery, her children said. Bonner's children said their mother and step father apparently were reunited Oct. 23, just before Bonner was granted an exit visa. They said he had apparently been in a hospital during his hunger strike. "They want us to know he is alive. That's quite clear," Tatiana Yankelevich, Bonner's daugh ter, said when asked why Sakharov had been permitted to talk on yesterday. Bonner's children said they think Sakharov's AP Laserpholci fast and the Nov. 19-20 summit between Presi dent Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorba chev led to the permission for their mother to leave. Efrem Yankelevich, Bonner's son-in-law, said she spoke cautiously about her trip, and could not specifically say why she was allowed to leave. Bonner said Sakharov weighed only about 130 pounds when she was .told late last month she could leave the country for three months. The family said neither the physicist nor his wife referred to his fast, which began sometime in September, as a hunger strike. "Apparently they are not allowed to," said Alexei Semyonov, Bonner's son. Tatiana Yankelevich said Soviet officials wanted Bonner to ieave as soon as possible, but she postponed her trip until she was sure Sakha rov was well again and would be cared for during the winter. Yankelevich said Sakharov was regaining weight, and "his only problem now is his heart." He has had a history of heart problems. The family had tried twice last week to call Bonner, but was unsuccessful. Yesterday was the first time in 18 months that Bonner has talked with relatives by phone. The family planned another phone conversation on Nov. 18 to discuss her travel plans. "We believe she will know by then when she is leaving for Moscow," Tatania Yankelevich said. The children said Sakharov will remain in a Gorky apartment and that relatives and col- Pro-lifers protest 'Cagney & Lacey' NEW YORK (AP) Calling next week's "Cagney & Lacey" show "a piece of pure political propaganda" promoting abortion, the National Right to Life Committee is asking CBS to pull the episode about the bombing of an abortion clinic. The Nova 11 episode is "unfair, unbalanced and shouldn't be broad cast on CBS," Dap , Donehey, spokesmen for the National Right to Life Committee in Washington, said yesterday. The NRLC is sending a letter to Gene Jankowski, president of the CBS Broadcast Group, asking him to prevent the broadcast. If that doesn't happen, the group is asking CBS stations to individually refrain from showing the episode entitled "The Clinic." If stations broadcast the show, then the NRLC wants them to run as a follow-up the 30-minute program, "Matter of Choice." Donehey said one CBS affiliate, WOW-TV in Omaha, Neb., already has agreed to carry "Matter of Choice" after next Monday's "Cag ney & Lacey" episode. If the local stations don't comply, Donehey said the NRLC, as a protest, is asking its supporters not to watch Search continues for killers of 22 officers MINATITLAN, Mexico (AP) More than 600 po- According to the survivors, the policemen were.am licemen, soldiers and farmers converged yesterday on a bushed by about 80 armed drug traffickers in the small remote marijuana-growing area of southern Mexico to farming village of Ignacio Aldama, 90 minutes by boaton search for drug traffickers alleged to have tortured and the Coachapa River from this town in the state of killed 22 officers.

In response to the NRLC action, CBS, in a statement, said: "CBS' program practices department has carefully reviewed this episode and feels it presents a balanced view of the issue."

In "The Clinic," Chris Cagney and Mary Beth Lacey investigate an abortion clinic bothbing that killed a vagrant. The NRLC also was upset that Barney Rosenzweig, the "Cagney & Lacey" executive producer, had pre screened the episode to pro-abortion groups, including the National Abor tion Rights Action League and Voters for Choice, but not to pro-life groups. A spokesman for CBS said that the network doesn't screen in advance programs for interest groups and that Rosenzweig did it entirely on his own. Rosenzweig said at a news confer ence yesterday that he gave pro-abor- The Daily Collegian Tuesday, Nov. 5, 1985 exit visa leagues from the Soviet Academy of Science will be allowed to visit him. Sakharov, winner of the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize, helped develop the Soviet hydrogen bomb. As early as 1959, he openly criticized the govern ment's nuclear weapons buildup. He was exiled to Gorky after criticizing the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in December, 1979. Bonner, a pediatrician who married Sakharov in 1971, was exiled to Gorky in 1984, ending her freedom of travel in the Soviet Union. A West German newspaper reported more than a week ago that she would be allowed to leave the Soviet Union. Last week, Bonner sent a telegram to a friend in Moscow outlining her plans, but her family here said they could not place any faith in the report until they had spoken to her. The family said she has been invited to have the heart operation at any of three nospiials in Boston, but that one has not yet been chosen. The family exchanged news and joked with Bonner and Sakharov throughout the 25-minute conversation, in Russian. Others assembled for the call in addition to the .

She says we will have to trust them on this," Yankelevich said. tion groups favored treatment to enlist their support and ward off the expected backlash from pro-life groups. He said a "Cagney & Lacey" episode in 1982 provoked ire from right-wing critics and, because of their protest, was not shown on seve ral CBS stations, including Chicago. Rosenzweig said he was in consul tation with CBS executives when "The Clinic" was in the script stage and that there were no major dis putes with the network. In the epi sode, Cagney (Sharon Gless) is confused about the abortion issue, while Lacey (Tyne Daly) reveals she had an abortion when she was 19 and unmarried. Both eventually advocate a woman's right to choose an abor tion. Rosenzweig said the anti-abortion position is expressed by a character played by Fionnula Flanagan. "We made an effort to not make it a polemic and gave a lot of time to her statements," the producer said. But Donehey said Flanagan's char acter came across as "very strident and unfeeling. You didn't get any warmth or sincerity from her as a person. The only care and compas sion came from the other side of the issue." state news briefs Pitt professor designs test for pilots PITTSBURGH (AP) A researcher said yesterday he has developed a test that could save the Pentagon millions of dollars in training costs by identifying candidates with the right stuff for Navy combat flying. "We feel that our measure, if instituted, has the potential of pre selecting some subjects who would normally leave the program at a later date. If we can do that, they (Navy officials) don't have to pay," said Harold Gordon, a neuropsychologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Gordon said his test, which measures the brain's ability to perceive spatial relationships, can identifymore pilots likely to fail than methods currently used by the Navy. "Comparing the folks who actually left the program and those who stayed in and gpt their wings, there's a big difference in how they performed on the spatial tests," Gordon said. He said his test also can be applied to evaluate potential air traffic controllers, surgeons and computer programmers. The assistant professor of psychology and psychiatry has been working under a $500,000 grant from the Office of Naval Research for the past 2% years, using new findings in specialized cognitive functions to improve the Navy's combat pilot screenings. Gordon, who began his study of brain organization at California Institute of Technology with Nobel Prize-winner Roger W. Sperry, first used the techniques in studying the Israeli Air Force, report ing in 1981 that combat pilots scored higher on visual-spatial brain tests than candidates who failed to complete flight training. In 1983, Gordon administered several neuropsychological tests, including the visual-spatial exam, to more than 1,100 aspiring combat pilots at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla. About 1,300 to 1,400 candidates graduate from Navy combat flight training each year at Pensacola and five other naval air stations around the country, according to Lt. Bob Rivera, a Navy spokes man in Corpus Christi, Texas. The program can last up to two years and costs $1 million per person. Gettysburg man wins $6 million HARRISBURG (AP) An accountant who won $6 million in Friday's Lotto drawing, said he has no plans for the money other than to replace his daughter's bicycle, which he had accidentally demolished. Bruce E. Hartman Jr. of Gettysburg said 7-year-old Jessica had asked, "Are we rich?" and he told her they could afford to replace the bicycle that he had run over with a pickup truck a couple of months ago. "She was extremely pleased with that," he said Hartman received the first of 21 installments of $230,118.98. It was the sixth largest lottery prize awarded to one person in Pennsylvania. Hartman, 38, an accountant with Knouse Food, Inc. for 17 years, said he has been playing the Lotto ever since it began and bought about five tickets a week. He said he bought eight tickets for Friday's game, choosing the winning numbers randomly. Hartman said he plans to remain at his job, but his wife, Pat, a teacher, is considering staying home with their 7-month-old son and daughter. "Today she has the option to do anything she wants," he said. "We're just going to put the money in the bank, sit on it for a couple of weeks just to make sure it's really there and then we'll probably think about investing it, he said. "We have concerns about our children's education and that kind of thing." nation news briefs Supreme Court to rule on gay sex WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) The Supreme Court, setting the stage for a major gay rights ruling, said yesterday it will decide whether the sexual activities of consenting homosexual adults are constitutionally protected. The justices said they will review Georgia prosecutors' appeal of a ruling that, if upheld, could undo the sodomy laws in about half the states. Their ruling is expected by next July. The court has not issued a detailed ruling on the rights of homosexuals since 1967, when it said aliens found to be homosexual may be deported as people "afflicted with a psychopathic personal ity." "This is potentially a momentous case, a watershed," said Kathleen L. Wilde, the Atlanta lawyer for a man challenging Georgia's sodomy law. "We think the facts of this case are very strong for us no money, no minors, no force involved and in the privacy of one's own bedroom," Wilde said. Michael Hardwick, a self-described practicing gay, was arrested by Atlanta police in 1982 on charges of committing the crime of sodomy with another man in his home: Hardwick sued Georgia officials in 1983 even though prosecutors had decided not to seek an indictment against him. His suit sought to have the sodomy law, which bans "any sexual act involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another," declared unconstitutional. A married couple also challenged the law, saying it infringed on their privacy rights. Lower courts ruled that the couple had no legal standing to sue because there was no proof Georgia authori ties ever would enforce the law against them. Wandering whale returns to Pacific SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Humphrey the whale, lured by the flute-like sounds of feeding humpbacks, splashed through the Golden Gate into the Pacific Ocean yesterday after a 3 1 b,-week fresh-water cruise that made it a national celebrity. Racing at three knots against a rising tide, the 40-foot, 45-ton leviathan cleared the fog-shrouded Golden Gate Bridge at 4:36 p.m. PST as crewmen aboard a flotilla of military and civilian boats cheered and waved goodbye. The whale, which shook off two radio transmitters shot into its skin with a crossbow as it neared the end of a journey that took it 70 miles inland, swam almost nine miles yesterday before reaching the sea. world news briefs Soviet soldier WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) A Soviet soldier who slipped into the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan four days ago left the compound yesterday in the company of the Soviet ambassador, who assured the youth he would not be punished beyond a reprimand, the State Department said. Before leaving, Private Alexsandr Vasilyevich Sukhanov, 19, signed a statement that he was taking the decision to depart the embassy and to return to the Soviet Union freely and "without constraint." Sukhanov, who had been assigned as a guard at the Radio Afghanistan headquarters next door to the embassy since August, entered the embassy on "the spur of the moment" last Thursday, saying he was unhappy with a soldier's life, the State Department said. His request for temporary refuge was granted. His presence at the embassy became a source of friction between Washington and Moscow after the Afghan government ringed the compound with troops, cut off the electricity and beamed powerful searchlights at the facility. The Reagan administration held the Soviet Union, which has more than 100,000 troops in Afghanistan, responsible for the actions and lodged a high-level protest with Soviet authorities. Sukhanov's departure followed, meetings at the embassy Sunday and yesterday in which Sukhanov discussed his case with the Soviet ambassador in the presence of the chief of the U.S. mission in Kabul, Edward Hurwitz, and his chief deputy, Robert Clarke, both Russian speakers. leaves U.S embassy a growing part of State College TV Supply 238.6021 ACORN 232 S.
