And so goes the fight for safety in Ameri
ca's skies. Until recently, the nation's air
traffic controllers and the planes they tried
to direct to landing strips were as blind as
they were overworked. In 1981, faced with
intolerable work hours, poor work condi
tions and unsafe equipment, air traffic
controllers struck for a safer workplace.
The action prompted President Reagan to
fire 11,345 controllers and the friendly skies
became suddenly ominous.
In an attempt to address the problems
that prompted the 1981 strike, air traffic
controllers decided to unite last week form
ing the National Air Traffic Controllers
Association.
The establishment of a new union once
again signaled the problem of overcrowded
airspace, but it did little to alleviate the
roots of the controller's problems.

Late last week, the Federal Aviation
Administration admitted there is a problem
in our skies enough of a problem to begin
reducing the number of flights and spread
ing planes out over some areas at certain
times during the day.
What's more, it demanded three additio
nal safety measures including requiring
altitude=reporting devices on planes, re
stricting flights by student pilots in "termi
nal control areas" within 30 miles of the
nation's most congested airports and re
quiring private pilots to file flight plans four
hours in advance.
It is heartening to see that the FAA has
finally recognized the severity of the prob
lem and has taken immediate measures to
solve it by decreasing the number of flights.
Customers may be temporarily inconve
nienced but America's skies will be a lot
safer for it.

because my father, like Manchester, is a
veteran of the same conflict Okinawa.
Without going into details, the Pacific island
of Okinawa was to be the last stop for
American forces in World War II before a
massive invasion of Japan itself. Beginning
in April, 1945 the struggle lasted 82 days and
over 200,000 American and Japanese sol
diers lost their lives fighting it.
The "bloodiest battle" proved a decisive
victory for us but the massive invasion of
Japan was scrapped when two atomic
bombs were dropped there in late summer
of that same year. The bombs made it clear
that an invasion would not be necessary and
the course of history, as well as the methods
of war, were changed forever.
The island of Okinawa is nothing new to
me. Ever since the first time I opened up an
old ammunition box of my father's (besides
his heavy wool uniform and dog tags it is, I
believe, the only souvenir he brought home
from the war) and shuffled through the
stack of pictures that he had stored inside,
my curiosity about Okinawa and war itself
has been insatiable.

green box are pasted vividly in the forefront
of my memory. They are of dead Japanese

of dead soldiers you see in John Wayne war
movies like "The Sands of Iwo Jima," or
"The Green Berets." No, I'm talking about
mutilated, decaying corpses that probably
smelled as rotten as they looked.
Looking back, I wonder why my dad _
never took those pictures and hid them
away in his sock drawer, or pulled them out
of my tender young hands when I picked
them up. But now I'm beginning to under
stand why he let me see all of the old
pictures; including the ones that depicted
frightened old Japanese men and women
hiding out in caves as well as the dead
soldiers.
He wanted me to see how war really was;
how fear and death really looked. Sure his
stories about that faraway island are real,
but like his uniform, old and out of fashion,
they cannot possibly communicate the real
horror he and his fellow Marines experi
enced. Thanks to those pictures I think I've
been given a more realistic view of what
war really is like.

Ways to cope
Flipping through a fashion magazine of the 'Bos, it is
obvious to anyone that exercise, fashion, dieting, and
beauty are all influenced on the majority of men and
women in our society today. However, many women in
particular find that by conforming to the "in things," they
are better accepted by society and are happier with
themselves.
This is the process of socialization in which many
individuals acquire those modes of thinking, feeling, and
acting that are necessary to participate effectively in the
larger community (Light and Keller 1985). Often, howev
er, women become so obsessed with their socialization, in
addition to other problems they may have to face, and
resort to. more drastic measures in order to belong. , Two
examples of this desire for perfection are the eating
disorders of anorexia and bulimia.
There is no easy explanation as to why many women
today are facing these eating disorders. Major contribu
tors to them are the different influences in our society
today and the values we have created. In many women's
battles against sexism, they encounter the different sex
roles expected of them and sex role stratification (or the
ranking of one sex as superior to the other (Light and
Keller 1985)). Many times, accompanying this battle
comes low self-esteem generated by not meeting some
standard of society and in turn, many women become
anorexic or bulimic, ironically violating one norm that
of health which our society values greatly in order to
conform to another.
While the behavior of the women suffering from these
eating disorders may be far from normal, it is important
to be aware that these eating disorders are serious
problems that more often than not are very difficult to
cure. In an article by Allan Mazur on beauty trends in
America, Mazur states:
"Women are under more pressure than men to conform
to an ideal of beauty because they quickly learn that their
social opportunities are affected by their beauty, and a
sense of beauty (or lack of it) becomes an important facet
of a young woman's self-concept."
Perhaps our society needs to re-evaluate the values we
have created, especially for women, and place more
emphasis on personality and capability, rather than
sexuality and beauty. It is important for we as individuals
of our society to be aware of our ideals and the effects
they have on others. For many women, anorexia and
bulimia are ways of trying to deal with some of the
pressures created by our society.

Don't be fooled
From reading articles in The Daily Collegian s and
hearing people - talk, it has become clear to me that most .
white people on campus and in the entire United States for
that matter do not believe that racism is still widespread
and growing. Well, it is. The reason you don't see it is (1)
it's not directed toward you (2) apathy on your part and
(3) it's covert.
No one is going to come into your room and burn a•
paper cross like they did at the Citadel in South Carolina.
No one is going to burn a wooden cross in front of a white
sorority like they did in Alabama. No one is going to
protest outside of your home for your family to move like
they did in southwest Philadelphia.
The vast majority of white people on campus and in the
United States have better things to do than worry about
something which is not going to affect them directly. This
is called apathy.
You cannot take an injustice that has spanned centuries
and expect to deal with it by passing a few laws. That does
not make everything alright. Common sense says that if
you were a racist with power in the '6os, chances are you
are now a racist with even more • ower in the 'Bos. Laws
don't change, people do. They only affect the way people
act in public.
Few white Americans realize how covert _racism can
be. You must forget the old stereotypical view of a racist
being a southern "redneck" who dons a white hood at
night and runs around with a noose in his hand mouthing
racial slurs.
Today's racist could wear a three piece suit, always
smile in black faces or could be a business executive who
does not promote blacks beyond a certain level.
A racist could be an ad executive who doesn't use black
models for a covergirl ad, but can find enough blacks to
shove into a singing and dancing restaurant commercial.
A racist could be part of a newspaper that covers the
ongoing raging debate concerning the pros and cons of
circumcising infants, but neglects to cover a major black
event like the Miss Black Penn State ceremony. Could
these be racist acts? Could be.
People have to realize that racism affects everyone.
Whether he be a professional, with his 2.8 kids, a dog
named Buffy and a loving wife. When the river of
advancement for blacks is dammed, all you get is a
stagnant pool. And a stagnant pool is only good for:
breeding disease and death.
Whether you see it or not, believe that racism is here,
there, everywhere. It hides like the cancer that it is,
growing until it makes its presence known. And all it does
is bring misery to everyone.

A quick visit to any veterans hospital
would probably make even the toughest old
soldier want to break down and cry. A
veterans hospital is where many men live
out a good part of their adult lives because
the war, some war, robbed them of their
legs, their arms or their minds. My Uncle
John lived a great part of his life in a

World War II in a foxhole dodging bullets
and shrapnel he came home to dodge the
demands of a society with which he was
never quite able to cope.
"One war has led to another and another
and yet another, and the cruel fact is that
few men, however they die, are remem
bered beyond the lifetimes of their closest
relatives and friends," Manchester writes.

must not forget. Because forgetting the

Court says impact on victim's
family cannot be considered
By JAMES H. RUBIN
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.C. In a major setback for the
victims' rights movement, the Supreme Court ruled
yesterday that the impact of a murder on the victim's
family may not be considered when a convicted killer
faces a possible death sentence.
By a 5-4 vote, the justices overturned the death sentence
for a Maryland man convicted of brutally killing an
elderly couple.
The court said the jury that sentenced the man to be
executed may have been inflamed by evidence that the
couple was dearly loved by family members who said
they were devastated by the murders.
Gene Patterson, representing a coalition of victims'
rights groups, said the decision "is a slap in the face to all
victims of violent • crime. It's a major setback to our
movement because in essence the ruling says the rights of
convicted murderers take precedence over the rights of
innocent victims."
Victims' rights organizations argued unsuccessfully
that society has a vital stake in meting out the harshest
penalties in retribution for the harm done to families of
those killed.
In two cases involving free speech, the court:
• Unanimously declared unconstitutional a sweeping .
Los Angeles International Airport ban on free-speech
activities aimed at preventing distribution of leaflets and
solicitation of contributions inside the terminal.
• Ruled that cities may not make it a crime to
"interrupt" police officers in their work. The 8-1 decision
struck down a 1956 Houston ordinance.
In the victims' rights case, the court did not say
whether its ruling applies retroactively to other death row
inmates who were sentenced under laws that permit
Lobbyist Deaver faces trial
Appellate court denies appeal on perjury charges
By JAMES ROWLEY
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON, D.O A federal
appellate court ruled yesterday that
lobbyist Michael K. Deaver must
stand trial on perjury charges, refus
ing to accept his appeal of a pre-trial
finding in the case.
The U.S. Court of Appeals ruled
that Deaver could not appeal the trial
judge's denial of his motion to dis
miss the indictment on the ground
that independent counsel Whitney
North Seymour Jr. had no authority
to prosecute the case.
Lawyers for Deaver, a former top
aide to President Reagan, said in
advance of yesterday's decision that
they planned to take any adverse
ruling to Chief Justice William
H. Rehnquist.
Deaver had sought to have the
appellate court rule on his challenge
to the constitutionality of the Ethics
in Government Act, which provides
for judicial appointment of indepen
dent counsels.
But the court refused to accept
Deaver's appeal of U.S. District
Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson's
decision, saying the lower court's
ruling "is not a final order, and
therefore is unappealable."
"We find no reason. to make an
exception in this case," the court said
in the order for Judges Harry Ed
wards, James Buckley and Stephen
Williams.
Deaver, who resigned as deputy
White House chief of staff in 1985, is

charged with five counts of lying to a
House subcommittee and a federal
grand jury that investigated his lob
bying business for possible ethics
violations.
The trial had orginally been sched
uled to begin June 8, but Deaver's
appeal forced a postponement while
the issue was being considered in the
appeals court.
Normally, pre-trial rulings by
judges are not appealable. But Deav
er, arguing the serious nature of his
constitutional challenge, contended
that the court should make an excep
tion to this procedural rule.
The appeals court also rejected
Deaver's request that it issue a so
called mandamus order to Jackson,
directing him to reconsider his pre
trial ruling.
"Mandamus is an extraordinary
remedy to be invoked only in drastic
circumstances," the court said.
"There are no such extraordinary
circumstances presented here."
The ruling marks the second time
in a week that the appeals court has
sidestepped constitutional challenges
to the ethics law.
Last week, it sent a similar chal
lenge by Lt. Col. Oliver North back to
U.S. District Judge Aubrey E. Robin
son Jr. with instructions to rule on the
case without deciding constitutional
issues.

Council aide is challenging the au

consideration of the impact of a killing on the victim's
family.
Most states permit judges and juries to weigh the
emotional, financial and psychological impact of a crime
on the victim and family members. But it is not clear how
many states apply that rule to cases in which the de
fendant faces the death penalty.
Monday's ruling applies only to capital punishment
cases.
Justice Lewis F. Powell, writing for the court, said
allowing the jury to hear about the impact on the family of
a murder victim can only inflame jurors and result in "an
arbitrary or capricious" sentence.
"One can understand the grief and anger of the family
caused by the brutal murders in this case," Powell said.
"But the formal presentation of this information by the
state can serve no other purpose than to inflame the jury
and divert it from deciding the case on the relevant
evidence concerning the crime and the defendant."
Also, he said, such victim impact statements raise
irrelevant questions about the victim's standing in the
community and his or her relationship to family mem
bers.
The death penalty may be imposed because of "the
perception that the victim was a sterling member of the
community rather than someone of questionable charac
ter," Powell said.
And, he said, someone might receive the death penalty
merely because family members are willing and able to
articulate their grief. •
Joining Powell in the majority were Justices William
J. Brennan, Thurgood Marshall, Harry A. Blackmun and
John Paul Stevens.
The dissenters were Chief Justice William H. Rehnqu
ist and Justices Sandra Day O'Connor, Byron R. White
and Antonin Scalia.
grand jury investigating the Iran-
Contra affair.
In that case, the court ruled that
Robinson had erred by holding North
in contempt of court for refusing to
obey the subpoena without first con
sidering his challenge to Walsh's au
thority.
The major difference in the North
case is that Walsh, unlike Seymour,
accepted a parallel appointment as a
special prosecutor from the Justice
Department.
North contends that that appoint
ment, made in response to an earlier
challenge to Walsh's authority, is also
invalid. The appeals court ordered
Robinson to consider the validity, of
the parallel appointment before con
sidering any constitutional issues sur
rounding the statute.
Deaver, meanwhile, has accused
the House Energy and Commerce
investigation subcommitee of calling
him to testify merely to determine if
he would commit perjury.
In court papers filed in the case,
Deaver charged that the subcommit
tee solicited his testimony only to see
if his answers squared with informa
tion already in possession of the pan
el.
Deaver's lawyers filed the brief in
opposition to the House subcommit
tee's motion to quash his subpoena
for records of the panel's investiga
tion.
The subcommittee, which referred
allegations of perjury by Deaver to
Seymour last summer, cited congres
sional immunity from the subpoena.

Goldberg said.
In addition to studying pre
flight training, Goldberg is also
looking at on-board training to be
conducted during the nine
months it will take a spacecraft
to make the 40 million-mile trip to
Mars.
Training may also be required
while astronauts spend time on
the surface of Mars, a period
generally expected to last at least
six months, he said, adding that
manned flights to Mars could
begin by the year 2030.
The need for specific training
requirements comes at a time
when astronauts are receiving
larger loads of responsibility, he
said, adding that astronauts must
often train for several years be
fore they can be selected for a
mission.
"Mission control cannot simply
take over the vehicle you must
have astronauts to do that," he
said.
"There has been a change in
philosophy going on at NASA. In
the past, astronauts have not
liked having their performance
measured they've always been
almost god-like," he said. "Now
they're treated more .like real
people, and the new breed of
astronaut is accepting that."
Goldberg said although train
ing requires astronauts to be en
gaged in simulated situations and
emergencies, it is impossible to
prepare for all possible situa
tions.
"We realize .we can't train for
every possible contingency," he
