On December 1, 1986, President Reagan issued an executive order creating the Tow er Commission, charged to investigate the events in the Iran-Contra scandal. He en dorsed its objective saying "I want all the facts to come out." Last week, he appeared to, rescind those words when he expressed his disdain for subsequent inquiries into the scandal. "I think that spotlight has been growing so dim in recent days that when you get a mile-and-a-half away from the Potomac River, there are an awful lot of people that have gone back to their favorite television shows, and I don't blame them," he told the White House press corps. "I've never heard so much hearsay in all my life that wouldn't be permitted in a courtroom for a minute-and-a-half. And it's taken as gospel by those who want to go farther with this." His statement apparently indicates that "We lament the mistakes of a good man, Worthy and do not begin to detest him until he affects to renounce his principles."

It's a shame he finds the whole affair so tiresome. Perhaps it's because political scandal has become old hat to his administration. More than 100 of his appointed officials have been caught in some form of criminal or ethical predicament during his seven years in office. The American public may,- indeed, be losing interest in the Congressional pro ceedings but that doesn't weaken Reagan's original objective to uncover all the facts. Justice will be served when the entire story is uncovered and those who may have bypassed the law are brought to trial. Until then, the president should either stick to his guns or keep quiet. Criticizing the work of men who are investigating his own administration cer tainly doesn't become him.

I miss him so much. Hello, my name is Ed Robbins. Is David Smeltz home? Organizations and my father's past cli ents still call the house. I don't mind be cause I appreciate anything that triggers memories of him. My father wore Old Spice aftershave and whenever I smell it on anyone, I can't help but imagine his arms wrapped around me. The scariest thought is that I will forget him and the ideals that he lived by. No, my father died four years ago. Can I take a message? Can I take a message, I thought sarcasti cally.

He made his clients feel very secure. I can remember my father talking about this man and labeling him as a troublemak er and impossible to please. Thank you for the compliments. My fa ther spoke very highly of you too, I politely lied. After I hung up the phone I realized what I had said and started laughing hysterically until the laughter turned into tears. I sud denly realized all the things I wanted to share with my Dad. I could no longer tell my father that Ed "troublemaker" Robbins called. When my wedding day arrives he will not be there to walk me down the aisle or give me a bear hug when I desperately need one. At my father's funeral, many of his cli ents spoke of him as the businessman they knew him as. They spoke about his powerful presence and his ability to take risks that • "./.

My gay awareness came about with the "wear jeans on Thursday if you support gays" slogan. This is great and I support and commend everyone who tries to subdue the biases. But let's not forget about age discrimination. Despite the fact that University Park is basically a young community and growing old is rarely considered a dilem ma, age dicrimination is a real problem. I only hope by constantly reminding people about this issue, it will lessen the pain of discrimination of many of our older citizens. The older Americans are often thought of as obsolete. Corporations think of them as an expense to the company.

I never knew that man. I knew an overweight, loveable father who loved to go to amusement parks. I never realized how much society as sumes that everyone has a father until I no longer had one. What does your father dO for a living? What does your father think about your male housemates? These are ques tions that I am constantly asked. I don't mind answering people by explaining that my father died four years ago, but they give me a look like the death was today and apologize like it was their fault. Last week a friend said that she and her father were closer than ever and then asked if it bothered me that she talked about her father. "I do realize that people still have fathers and I do not mind you talking about yours," I replied. I know that these situa tions are difficult for people who have not been through them, but there is really no• need to be extra cautious in dealing with converations.

It is not the elderly's fault for lacking in the new skills though, there is no formal system of continuing their education after their youth. A second reason is that, because the elderly recieve inferior treatment they inter nalize this and begin to feel inferfor. I base my argument on what happened to a very close relative of mine. He is in his late fifties and has been working at a company in my area for over 35 years. He got his insurance cut and has been denied his upward mobility. Despite what he has already done for his company and what his knowledge could do for the company he is labeled obsolete. I have shared his pain of feeling useless and unwanted: I am not looking forward to the same destiny and feel more publicity is needed to alleviate the problems of age ' discrimination. Board of Managers I must admit that I do get annoyed with friends that tell me that they don't want to take a trip with their parents or are sick of going home just because their parents want them to. If you are lucky enough to have parents that care about you, then take advantage of it. Since my mother is alive, I make sure that I take advantage of every visit home and tell her that I love her frequently. The purpose of Father's Day has changed dramatically for me, instead of expressing my love for my father through a material present, I now use the day to reflect on the past experiences we both shared together. I've seen fire and I've seen rain. I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again.

Allen St. trial Goetz scene of a matchmaking NEW YORK (AP) One was juror six for the trial of subway gunman Bernhard Goetz, the other was juror ejght. But now that the case is over, there's no one separating them. "I met somebody. I fell in love," James Mosely, 27, said in a telephone interview Friday. Mosely and Diana Serpe met dur ing Goetz's attempted murder trial in Manhattan. He said he first eyed the 33-year-old airline sales agent during jury selection in December. "I was attracted to her right from the beginning,". said Mosely, who stood out during courtroom proceed ings because of his penchant for wearing pajama tops as shirts. "She's pretty attractive, you know, and I'm pretty scuzzy so I didn't say anything to her right away, not until the trial began." Mosely, who sells graphic arts film, said it was strictly business during court hours. "We never really talked too much or spent time hanging around each other." But afterward, they would share the subway train to their Upper East Side apartments, just blocks apart. "One thing led to another. You know, why don't we get a drink, that sort of thing, and that led to our going out," Mosley said of the romance. "We have a lot of things in com mon. Diana's fun. I'm fun. I guess we have a lot of fun," said Mosely, who told the court during jury questioning that his goal in life was to keep a certain beer manufacturer "the king of beers." Explore the Possibilities...

The move came in the wake of a recent scare among paramedics who treated a man who had at tempted suicide on Sunday and came in contact with his blood. The man initially was believed to have AIDS, which is transmitted by bod ily fluids. The reports of the man having AIDS later proved to be false. "There was some concer•.n not only on the part of paramedics, but of firefighters who respond, about being exposed to AIDS," said Lt. Ron Schramm.

She was smiling the first time Bill Pelke saw her, the teen-ager who had plunged a butcher knife 33 times into his silver-haired grandmother. The jail matron was escorting 16- year-old Paula Cooper into court where she would hear a judge con demn her to die. Pelke figures the matron was joking, trying to ease the tension. "I thought: 'You killed my grand mother, you're not going to get away with it.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome cripples the body's abili ty to fight disease and infection. Homosexuals and intravenous drug users are at highest risk for contracting the disease, for which no cure has been found. Capt. Roger Crauder, command er of the paramedics, said his crews are more likely to be ex posed to other diseases, including hepatitis and venereal diseases, than to AIDS. "This isn't really a major prob lem," Crauder said. "We're over with,"' he recalled. "That's how I felt." Soon, Cooper was sobbing quietly. The judge's sentence made her one of the youngest death row inmates in the United States. Pelke, raised to believe in the death penalty, was satisfied. But, in a remarkable change of heart, he has since embarked on a largely solitary campaign to win clemency for his grandmother's kill er. Ruth E. Pelke, a 78-year-old retired Bible teacher, had allowed Cooper and two other teen-age girls into her home in Gary on May 14, 1985, after they feigned interest in Bible lessons. SUBRIB.C4 O.

Gloves have a psychological effect on paramedics. Gloves are protective for the patient too." Donovan said the emergency workers usually have no way of knowing if a patient has a conta gious disease. Paramedics have always had the option of wearing gloves, but many concede they didn't always do so. Paramedic Jeff Eller, 35, as sisted with the suicide victim Sun day. He said that although he wore gloves, his clothing was exposed to the man's blood. "I try to wear gloves anytime body fluids are involved," he said. "But it would be nice if we had better protective clothing." While a fourth girl remained outside' as a lookout, Cooper repeatedly stabbed Mrs. Pelke, and the girls ransacked her house, fleeing with $lO and her car. Lake County Prosecutor Jack Crawford initially sought the death penalty against all four, and refused to drop it in Cooper's case even after she agreed to plead guilty. The other three received prison terms ranging from 25 to 60 years. The crime has lost none of its horror for him, but Pelke, himself a grandparent now at 39, has lost his desire for vengeance. "I don't believe taking her life is going to solve anything," he said. ===l \-„ p ,!:`,fik44#l4,n,akin fi 3f fpymaititsitabOut our services, , 110634020 —by Karl Hoke Owned and Operated by The Pennsylvania State •Universit • , • • • • e• • • Lt • ota10 0 "Wi.
