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.

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.
The zoning chief in Glendale, Calif.,
told Robert George on Saturday that
he had violated the law in converting
his home into a winter wonderland of

spokesman for the opposition Labor
Party.
“In view of the way the Americans
have been behaving in Iran and in
view of Mrs. Thatcher’s complete
support for what President Reagan
did there, we would like to know if the
British government has been setting
up similar deals,” he said.
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.”

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.

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."

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.

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.
