B—The8 —The Daily Collegian Monday, Dec. 8,1986 state/nation/world Libya shipments hurt Thatcher LONDON (AP) The report yes terday that a British company was supplying submarine lifting gear to Litiya has brought opposition claims that it could be Prime Minister Mar garet Thatcher’s equivalent of the U.S.-Iran arms conflict. Britain broke diplomatic relations with Libya in 1984 after a policewo man was fatally shot during a demon stration outside the Libyan Embassy in London. Britain charged she was slain by a Libyan shooting from in: side the embassy in St. James’s Square. Northern Engineering Industries, which manufactures components for the 1,100-ton lifting gear called Syn chrolift, denied it had violated a gov ernment ban on the sale of military equipment to Libya. A company spokesman said the company had applied to the Depart ment of Trade for an export license but was told none was needed be cause the components were consid ered non-military and initially were being shipped to Italy. But members of Parliament noted the Synchrolift can hoist Libya’s six Soviet-built submarines to dry land for repair or refit and could be used for lifting small warships. “We have Mrs. Thatcher’s govern ment quite rightly condemning ter rorism, but on the other hand Mississippi Decorations attract complaints By The Associated Press A Mississippi state building was decorated with a lighted Christmas cross despite threats of a lawsuit, while officials in a California commu nity sought to close down Santa’s Dream House because of neighbors’ complaints.

George Foulkes, a foreign affairs spokesman for the Labor Party, said: “It looks suspiciously like Mrs. Thatcher’s version of Reagan’s Iran fiasco.” John Cartwright, the centrist Social Democratic Party’s defense spokes man, said, “This does need a proper inquiry because in the wake of the Iran arms deal (involving Iran’s pur chase of U.S. arms) there is bound to be suspicion.” The Synchrolift was patented by Pearlsons Engineering of Miami, a subsidiary of the company that was recently renamed NEI Synchrolift Inc., and has been built in Britain under license from the American company.

Thatcher Francesco Pennachioni, Impreg lio’s honorary chairman, was quoted by the Sunday Mail, a Scottish paper that broke the story, as saying it was installing the equipment in Libya. Italy’s long history of cultural and commercial ties with Libya, its for mer colony, has remained unbroken throughout recent international ten sions with the Arab state. Students cheated in hearings COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) The director of the student legal aid office at the University of Maryland says hearings on cheating are more like inquisitions than fair legal proceedings. William G. Salmond, who has represented students at the- hearings for 10 years says he will no longer attend the hearings because they are a “rigged game” where the students haven’t got a chance. He says he will stay on and advise students before the sessions. “I think students are presumed guilty when they go into those hearings,” he said. Salmond says he wants lawyers to be allowed to cross-examine the faculty members who bring the charges of cheating. Current policy allows lawyers only to make opening and closing statements and advise students during the hearings. Salmond pointed out one case that illustrates his complaint. He said one professor told a hearing panel the accused student had been caught cheating in high school. Salmond says that if the lawyer had more Iran missiles kill 16 Iraqi civilians NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) Iran said it fired three missiles into the south ern Iraqi city of Basra and bombed five other targets yesterday. Iraq later reported 16 civilians were killed and 38 wounded in the attacks.' Iraq said its planes flew 111 mis sions yesterday against Iranian troop concentrations behind the front, “in flicting considerable losses in men and equipment.” Iran claimed one plane was shot down over Eslama bad-e Gharb in northern Iran, but Iraq denied it. Iraq also said it attacked a tanker off Iran. Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency, monitored in Nicosia, said three short-range missiles dam aged “military and economic tar gets” in Basra, Iraq’s second-largest city with 330,000 people. IRNA said parts of Basra were engulfed in flames. . IRNA said the missiles were launched as part of an artillery bom bardment of Basra and “economic centers and military fortification” along the front. The agency said the shelling began at 8 p.m. Saturday and was to last 48 hours, to retaliate for Iraqi air raids Saturday in which 114 people died. authority, such a statement wouldn’t have been ad mitted as evidence. “Are we making these restrictions because we want to make life easier for the faculty?” he asked. Of the 100 students accused of cheating or plagiariz ing each year, an average of eight are acquitted, according to Gary M. Pavela, judicial programs direc tor. Those found guilty generally are placed on proba tion and fail the course in which they cheated. Pavela has approached faculty members about revamping the hearing system. His plan, which resem bles what the University of Virginia does, would allow students to run the hearings, serve on the panels and set the rules. Hearings at College Park are run by the college in which the offense is said to be committed. Two.faculty members and one student from that college decide the case, with appeals heard by the college dean. If the penalty is suspension or expulsion, the appeal goes before a Campus Senate panel. Iraqi officials confirmed that Bas ra, which lies only 14 miles west of the front, has been under “continual bombardment,” but did not specif ically mention missile attacks. Baghdad Radio, also monitored in Nicosia, quoted an Iraqi military communique as saying 10 civilians were killed and 27 wounded when a hospital, an orphanage and a school were hit. Iran and Iraq have been at war since September 1980. Foreign jour nalists are rarely allowed into the battle zones and, as a rule, it is not possible to verify war claims made by the two sides. Iran’s long-range artillery has re peatedly pounded Basra in recent months. Iran also has hit Baghdad, the Iraqi capital, with medium-range missiles. IRNA said Iranian planes bombed several Iraqi targets, including the al-Kut air base in southeastern Iraq. The agency said the base was used by Iraqi planes that attack Iranian cit ies. IRNA said Iranian jets also hit a power station and other targets in Dukan and Diyana in northeast Kur destan and installations in the east ern towns of Jalula and Amadiyah. state news briefs Some black students reject culture PHILADELPHIA (AP) Many academically successful black students adopt a “raceless persona” by turning their backs on traditional black culture to succeed in school, said an anthropolig ist at the annual meeting of the American Anthropoligical Associa tion. “If you want to succeed as a black, you have to give up an important part of your culture,” said Sinithia Fordham, an assistant professor at the University of the District of Columbia. “That, in turn, creates tremendous tensions and pressures upon black students.” Fordham’s work has centered on black adolescents, but she said in an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer Thursday that she believes the emergence of these so-called “unblacks” has also occured in the workplace, particularly among upwardly mobile blacks. She cited the example of Leanita McClain, a journalist who became the first black woman to be elected to the Chicago Tribune’s Board of directors. McClain achieved enormous success as a Chicago journalist but felt “hellish confusion” and ultimately committed suicide, Fordham said. “To her white colleagues at the Tribune, McClain appeared raceless, indistinguishable from them... Accepting this reality proved to be 100 burdensome for her,” Fordham said. She said high-achieving black students who turn their backs on traditional black culture in order to succeed in school do so in a number of ways, such as rejecting black music and changing their hairstyles and their dress. She found that black female students are more likely to accept the values and behavior of white society than are black male students. “Females are more willing to go along with the dominant white society than males,” she said. “The males are more confused and more ambivilant." nation news briefs Teenager sentenced in game slaying WATERTOWN, N.Y. (AP) A 16-year-old boy has been sen tenced to 5Vi: years to life in prison for killing an 11-year-old in a slaying authorities linked to the game Dungeons and Dragons. David Ventiquattro told police that he killed Martin Howland because the younger boy was evil and the game required that he “had to extinguish evil,” according to testimony. But Ventiquattro also gave several explanations of the Nov. 12, 1985, shooting to police, and the link to Dungeon and Dragons was disputed. Ventiquattro told authorities that Howland had shot himself and that he had shot Howland accidentally while playing with a gun he did not know was loaded. Jefferson County Judge John V. Aylward said at the Friday sentencing that Howland was not playing the game with Ventiquat tro. “This homicide is the most senseless, motiveless slaying I have seen in my years on the bench,” the judge said. Ventiquattro will begin serving his term at the Brookwood Center in Claverack, which is part of the New York State Division for Youth. Archdiocese against AIDS program LOS ANGELES (AP) The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles announced Saturday that it would not allow an AIDS education group to hold seminars in its churches because the organization condones the use of condoms. “In the issue of AIDS, such use implies either heterosexual promiscuity or homosexual activity,” Archbishop Roger Mahony said in a prepared statement. J’The church approves of neither.” Catholic Church doctrine prohibits the use of contraceptives. “Condoms are not the focus of our work. We don’t sell condoms. We don’t actually even promote them,” AIDS Project Executive Director Paula Van Ness said Saturday night. “Our intengrity is under attack.” “Within the (seminar) itself, it was clearly stated that the use of condoms is not condoned by the Catholic Church,” she said. “It was discussed in the context of public health measures that are currently being used throughout the world in the control of AIDS.” A spokesman for Mahony said the withdrawal of support from AIDS Project Los Angeles was not a sign that the archdiocese would not back other AIDS support groups. * AIDS Project Los Angeles, or APLA, is primarily an educational program and has set up seminars specifically for the Spanish speaking community. Presentations include explicit descriptions on the use of condoms as a method to prevent transmission of acquired immune deficiency syndrome. world news briefs French students protest bill PARIS (AP) Student protests against a university reform bill widened into a general challenge of the conservative government yesterday as union leaders joined students in calling for nationwide demonstrations this week. Dozens of people clashed with about 500 police in the Latin Quarter student district. At least 68 people, including 58 police, were injured, and 28 people were arrested. Student leaders de nounced the violence. Premier Jacques Chirac, faced with one of the greatest political crises of his nine months in office, appealed for calm. His interior minister, Charles Pasqua, promised a full investigation into the death Saturday of a 22-year-old student following what witnesses said was a beating by police. Protests against the reform bill began three weeks ago but escalated in the last few days. The government says the measure would make universities more competitive, but students charge that it would make higher education elitist. The students’ national coordinating committee called for nation al demonstrations this Wednesday and invited unions and other organizations to join in opposing the reform bill and police “repression.” The Communist-led General Confederation of Labor, France’s largest union federation, urged its membership Sunday to join “a powerful day of strikes on Wednesday, Dec. 10, and to participate en masse in the demonstrations.” Other groups were expected to join as well. In the Latin Quarter, dozens of people threw stones and bottles at police, burned barricades, broke windows and set cars afire, police said. After four hours, about 500 police officers surrounded the area and moved in on the rioters, witnesses said. said 58 officers were hurt, with five of them hospitalized. Hospital officials reported 10 rioters injured. Prince Charles for colonial governor LONDON (AP) The Sunday Telegraph said Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, is one of several candidates being considered for the post of governor of Hong Kong, the British colony that is to be turned over to China in 1997. Buckingham Palace said no one was available to.comment on the newspaper report. The colony’s governor, Sir Edward Youde, died Thursday while visiting Peking. He was 62. A front-page report from Hong Kong written by Claire Holling worth did not contain any attribution or say who else was involved in the considerations. There is a “growing groundswell of popular opinion in Hong Kong calling for the prince to become the new governor in the dangerous years leading to the takeover by Peking in 1997,” wrote Holling worth. Youde’s death “plunged Hong Kong into political and financial uncertainty at a time when the 5 million population were already highly nervous about the approach of Communist rule,” she wrote.
