COLLEGIAN 100 YEARS April 1887-April 1987 .S. won't retaliate after expulsion of diplomats By BARRY SCHWEID AP Diplomatic Writer WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Reagan administration acknowledged yester day that restrictions imposed on the U.S. Embassy in Moscow would limit “our ability to monitor what hap pens” in the Soviet Union. But the administration decided not to retaliate for the expulsion of five more American diplomats and urged the Soviets to “put behind us” a dispute over diplomats and spies. Declaring a cease-fire, Charles E. Redman, the State Department spokesman, said, “We need now to get on with resolution of the larger issues affecting U.S.-Soviet relations and build on the progress made in Penn State defensive tackle Tim Johnson, No. 55, moves in for the kill against Alabama quarterback Mike Shula in last year’s game, won by the Nittany Lions 19-17 at Beaver Stadium.

He referred to the fact that the 251 U.S. diplomats either will take on the work in addi tion to their duties or that some will be replaced by American workers. “But I’m confident,” the U.S. offi cial said, “that the dedicated U.S. personnel at our missions in the Sovi et Union will continue to perform effectively.” The Soviets took the actions in Frustrated with University, Beyers leaves post By VICTORIA PETTIES Collegian Staff Writer The University’s decision to “sever relations with greek organizations,” is one reason the assistant director of student organizations and program development said she will leave her position. Gayle Beyers, who resigned from her position in September, will com plete her last day of work at the University today and will fill the position of assistant director of stu dent activities at Ball State Universi ty in Indiana next month. Arthur Costantino, associate direc tor of Student Organizations and Pro gram Development, said members of the office of student organizations and program development will share Beyer’s job responsibilities until a permanent replacement is found. Beyers said she felt frustrated in her position, in which she advises 20 sororities and 52 fraternities the second largest greek system in the country. “The University said it does not want to work with fraternities except to provide a job position to help the greeks now deal with any problems,” Beyers said. The University has posted the job position within the University to find a replacement until the end of June. Then, a nationwide search will be conducted for a replacement, said Richard Funk, a graduate assistant working with Beyers. Collegian response to the U.S. expulsion of 80 Soviets in Washington, New York and San Francisco. An administration official, who insisted on anonymity, said Wednesday night that the expul sion “decapitated” a Soviet spy oper ation. The Soviets also retaliated by im posing stiffer visas and other restric tions on Americans who work temporarily in Moscow, such as on construction of the new U.S. Embas sy there. Redman said similar curbs would be put on Russian laborers here. The U.S. official said the two gov ernments had evidently accepted the concept of “parity” in their diplo matic complements and should move on to arms control and other issues Beyers said the University is using the position of assistant director of student organizations and program development as the only link to the greek community.. As part of the new Student Life Policy, the University decided last spring that it would no longer be held responsible for the actions of any student or greek organization in an off-campus setting. “I feel frustrated with the Universi ty’s decision since I was not consulted and greek organizations is my area of expertise,” Beyers said. “The Uni versity redefined entirely their rela tions with greek organizations last Spring Semester.” Beyers said although she was a member of the Alcohol Task Force, she had no final input in the Universi ty’s decision. Stanley Latta, associate director for Residence Hall Programs, said the University followed the legal ad vice given last spring when deciding to change its Student Life Policy last semester. “Liability was a major consider ation when the University evaluated its relationship with off-campus ac tivities,” Latta said. The University did not rely on stu dent organization advisers when re considering the Student Life Policy as much as on other issues because of liability concerns, Latta said. The University has told University fraternities and sororities that “we will only recognize greek organiza- pursued by President Reagan and Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the Soviet leader, at the Iceland summit two weeks ago. . Adm. John Poindexter, Reagan’s national security adviser, said Thurs day that the expulsions have run their course. “We made our point. We are down to parity,’’Poindexter, accompany ing Reagan on a political trip to Wisconsin, told reporters. As Reagan boarded his plane in Milwaukee, reporters asked whether the war of expulsions had ended. The president just shrugged his shoulders and got on board. Redman stressed that Reagan stands by his arms reduction propo sals. “Translating those proposals tions through the Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils,” Beyers said. Penn State is only one of a few universities that has taken a “hands off stance concerning the issue of alcohol,” Beyers said. Many univer sities have worked with greek organi zations in implementing policies concerning the use of alcohol, she added. Yet, the University has decided to leave the entire issue of alcohol on the shoulders of IFC members, Beyers said. Beyers, 30, majored in speech com munications and minored in journa lism as an undergraduate at Indiana State University. She received her master degree in speech communica tions at Bowling Green State Univer sity in Ohio. Before coming to Penn State in July 1983, Beyers worked as an assistant dean of student organizations at Southeast Missouri State University. IFC President Pat Conway said the University will be losing a leading expert in greek organizations. “The fact that Gayle has been president of the National Association of Fraternities for the past two years is indicative of her expertise in the area of greek organizations,” Con way said. Conway echoed Beyers concern that she was not included when the administration decided to implement a new Student Life Policy. “Gayle did everything she could do into specific negotiating instructions is a complex process.” he said. “A decision on how best to table such sweeping proposals is a tactical nego tiating one.” Gorbachev on Wednesday decried the U.S. expulsions as “a provoca tion,” while saying he still saw hope for an arms agreement growing out of the Reykjavik. Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes ignored the Soviet leader’s criticism and focused on Gorbachev’s assertions of good will. “We believe an historic break through occurred in Reykjavik and there is no turning back,” Speakes said. “For the first time, there is serious discussion of arms reductions rather than arms control.” Crimson Tide Lions hope to avoid wave By MARK BRENNAN Collegian Sports Writer Alabama. Mere mention of the word sends visions of football greatness whirling through the minds of every true gridiron fan. In fact, to most people in the country, Alabama is probably more readily recognized as a university than a state. And why not? The Crimson Tide has a winning football tradition that would stand up to the accomplishments of any state, and with the program dating back to 1892, Ala bama football has.been around longer than some countries. In 92 years of football, the Tide have rolled up 615 wins, 38 bowl appearances and 11 National Championships. Throw in 18 Southeast Conference Championships, the 'top winning-percentage of any collegiate football team over the last 25 years and list of other other honors and accomplishments as long as an elephant’s trunk and you start to get an idea of just how successful the Alabama football program has been. The big names have been as much a part of that tradition as anything. Starting off with Paul “Bear” Bryant then progressing through names like Walter Lewis, Jeff Rut ledge and Ozzie Newsome down to old favorites like Ken Stabler, Ray Perkins and Joe Namath. Stop the list there or it will go on into next month. This year, the tradition continues, and when the sixth-ranked, undefeated Lions faces No. 2 Alabama, 7-0, tomorrow at Bry ant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, the Tide will have all of that plus over 60,000 fans going for them. And they might not even need it. This year’s version of the Tide has it all, the tradition, the big names, the honor, the whole ball of wax. Tradition is covered by ’Bama’s head ... the University simply closed the door on everything concerning greeks,” Conway said. “IFC can only be sorry that she is leaving.” Beyers said another reason for her decision to leave stemmed from wanting to work at a smaller univer sity. Ball State University has a stu dent body of about 17,000 compared to the University’s 35,000. “Most of my family and friends live in Indiana,” she added. Beyers said during her three years at the University, she has seen Pan hel develop into a strong organization with a high level of credibility and Friday, Oct. 24,1986 Vol. 87, No. 73 28 pages University Park, Pa. 16802 Published by students of The Pennsylvania Slate University ©1986 Collegian Inc. For complete Penn State football coverage see Sports coach, Perkins, who himself was an All- American receiver for the Tide in 1960. After stints in the NFL as both a player and coach, Perkins career came full circle when he took over for Bryant in 1983. Perkins’ record at Alabama is 29-12-1 As for the big names, Alabama has one of the biggest in football. Quarterback Mike Shula is the son of the Miami Dolphins’ legendary coach Don Shula. But although he has the name, the young Shula does not depend on it. The senior is a three-year starter at the helm for the Tide and with at least five games to go this season, Shula is third on the Alabama career passing list with 3,530 yards. That is better than Namath, Stabler and even the great Bart Starr. This season he has thrown for 947 yards on 130 attempts for 10 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Shula directs most of his passes at flanker Albert Bell, an All-SEC player last year who has caught 18 passes for 214 yards, which averages out to 11.9 yards per catch. Alabama is also blessed with a great halfback in sophomore Bobby Humphrey, who already has 693 yards on 119 carries. Gene Jelks, another sophomore halfback who has not carried as much as Humphrey, has amassed only 332 yards but has a 7.2 yards per carry average. Despite the impressive statistics, Shula thinks Penn State’s physical defense could pose a problem for Alabama. “They are physical and they don’t give up much,” Shula said. They are only giving up Please see ALABAMA, Page 15. Gayle Beyers Asked about Gorbachev’s speech saying that Reagan consented to the elimination of all strategic offensive nuclear arms, White House spokes man Larry Speakes told reporters Thursday that “the president dis cussed it. But it was not formally tabled.” Speakes said the "ultimate goal” of the United States is the elimination of all nuclear weapons but “there was not enough opportunity for the two of them to discuss a time frame for the implementation” of that objective. Asked if Gorbachev was wrong in the implication of his remarks, Speakes said, “No, I don’t know. I can't make judgments about what his judgments are.” P&ge 15 Collegian Photo / Nell Kohl input in such student organizations as University Student Executive Council and IFC. “Panhel has went from 10 officers doing everything to a more struc tured organization that involves so rority delegates,” Beyers said. At Ball State University, Beyers will advise sororities, work on the university’s publication committee and teach several leadership courses. Beyers said she can only hope in leaving the University that it would reaffirm its position towards greeks and work more closely with the greek community. •• JliPl
