2—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Nov. 5, 1986 Reagans await results By MICHAEL PUTZEL AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON, D.C. President Reagan, offering no predictions on the outcome of yesterday's elections, returned to Washington to await the voting results with his wife, Nancy, in the privacy of their White House quarters. The Reagans, who had voted by absentee ballot in Califdrnia, left Los Angeles yesterday morning for the homeward leg of the president's 24,839-mile campaign trek trying to save the Senate for his Republican Party. Reagan crisscrossed the South and West in the last week of the cam paign, trying to drum up support for nine Senate candidates whose races were still' deemed too close to call when the polls opened yesterday. Moments after the presidential plane, Air Force One, lifted off from Los Angeles International Airport, a warning light in the cockpit indicated one of the landing gear brakes was hot, a White House spokesman said. Mark Weinberg, an assistant press secretary, said the pilot coped with the problem by leaving the nosegear down in flight briefly to cool it off. It was retracted after a few minutes, Weinberg said, and the trip continued uninterrupted. Chi:l White House spokesman Lar ry Speakes'told reporters aboard the plane that the captain, Col.• Robert Ruddick, "says there is nothing wrong with the aircraft." The presidential jet landed without incident at Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland in late af ternoon.

With 54 percent of the vote counted in Maryland, Mikulski had 57.7 per cent •to Chavez' 42.3 percent, follow ing a bitter campaign that saw Chavez calling Mikulski "anti-male" and a "San Francisco-style Demo crat." Mikulski, claiming victory and thanking her family, said her father was too ill to attend the celebration. ."But Dad, I know you're watching, and your daughter is now a United States senator," she said, beaming.

Kimm Tynan, vice president of the Committee for Justice in South Africa, said five people began fasting Sunday. She said she hoped the fast would give attention to the apartheid issue at the Board of Trustees' meeting tomorrow and Friday., The fast ends this Sunday, she said. "I'm asking USG to support the fast," she said. Tynan said other students have volunteered to fast for one or two days. Todd May, a member of the committee and one of the five who began the fast, said, "We're not trying to punish anybody by inflicting hunger on ourselves. "We thought by the fast we would bring home a sense of urgency to Penn State regarding the hunger that exists in South Africa," May said. Pat Devlin, a West Halls sen ator, said because USG supports the fast students should not think that the senate is in full suport of divestment. East Halls Senator Kelly Malo ney said that last year the Senate supported legislation recom mending a divestment policy for the University. A vote in support of the fast means USG "believes that Amer ican corporate policy has failed," May said. ' "Discussion has died down this semester. This (resolution) is saying we support keeping dis cussion on the issue of divest ment," said Susan Weinstein, a town senator. Senate President Joe Scoboria said whether one is pro-divest ment or not, everyone has to agree that apartheid is morally wrong. S.
