KU scholar given research grant
LAWRENCE—A University of Kansas secretary has received a $8,000 award for work of Learned Societies to work on a book about Polish history and paramedics.
Halina Pilpowik, secretary in the Kress Foundation department of art history, is the only U.S. scholar among 14 offered funding for research in the humanities and social sciences related to Eastern Europe not to hold an academic appointment.
She earned her doctorate from KU's slav languages and literature department in 1979 and describes herself as "a classic example of an unruly master."
Fillowizki will spend three months of the 1981-42 academic year in Poland and the balance in Lawrence working on her research project, titled "Theater and the Renewal of Poland: Recent Developments in Polish Theater and Parachester."
parameter is any theatrical activity that does not lead to a performance, she said. "In the shipyard of G丹ask, workers would get together in the late 1970s and rehearse pieces based on their everyday experiences. They did not intend to do any productions for audiences. They did it for their own
In her book, she will try to prove that the non-traditional forms of theatre helped indirectly to pave the way toward the strike in Poland and the Solidarity movement. "Those non-traditional forms of theatre led people to be more aware of their powers," she said.
She will also deal with the contribution of established theatre companies to the Solidarity movement, she said.
French socialists win solid majority
PARIS-President Francois Mitterrand's Socialists swept yesterday to their biggest parliamentary victory in history, winning a solid majority of seats in parliament to complete their control of France's political power structure.
"The hour of socialism has struck," Prime Minister Pierre Mauroy, Mitterrand's government leader, said.
Mitterrand's government leader, said. Party Chief Lionel Lojosin told cheering supporters, "The Socialist Party did it."
"We will now be able to apply our policy, outlined by Mr. Mitterrand during the presidential campaign," he said.
With 479 of the 491 National Assembly seats accounted for, the Socialists, and the tiny center-left MRG party that had allied with them, had captured 282 seats. Computer projections indicated they could take as many as 250 seats, capping a triumph that started with Mitterrand's election May 10.
The victory guaranteed Socialist rule with or without Communist support, although Mauritia the Solidsail would meet with them today to discuss a
The pro-Soviet Communist party received an expected crushing parliamentary defeat, losing about half their former 86 seats.
For Mitterrand, France's first Socialist president since 1983, the outright majority was a personal triumph that gives him a chance to carry out plans for the further nationalizing of industry and banks, increasing social benefits and creating 210,000 new government jobs.
Haig favors re-involvement in Asia
WELLINGTON, New Zealand—Secretary of State Alexander Haig was to attend a talk with the foreign ministers of Australia and New Zealand today.
He was to deliver a message that the United States would reverse its post-Vietnam retreat from involvement in Asia.
Haig arrived in Wellington Sunday on the final stop of an Asian tour that has taken him to China and the Philippines. There his central theme was that the Soviet Union and its proxy poses posed the main threat to world peace and that united action was required from the rest of the world to confront it.
Haig was in Wellington for the 13th ministerial council of the Pacific Islander Alliance in January 1964, when he was then president, which which would be his last. He was by the Secretary of State John Foster Dulles
A senior U.S. official told reporters on the eve of the council meeting that Haig would tell the ANZUS countries that the U.S. retreat from Southeast Asia after the Vietnam War would be reversed because of a sharp increase in defense spending.
Haig presented the same message during a three-day visit to Peking and to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Manila.
Meanwhile a group of New Zealand pacifists, students and church organizations opposed to Haig's visit, said they would stage an anti-American rally this afternoon outside Parliament, where the three foreign ministers were meeting.
Among the issues to be discussed at the ANZUS meeting, American officials said, was the growing Soviet naval presence in Southeast Asia.
Volcano's latest eruption fizzles
VANCOUVER, Wash.—Scientists said the growth of the lava dome inside a crater of Mount Vesuvius and essentially stopped yesterday, signalling that the volcano was eventually stable.
Earthquake activity at the volcano remained low, but had not quite dropped down to pre-eruption levels, University of Washington seismologists
The U.S. Forest Service re-opened the restricted zones around the volcano that had been closed last week when small, volcanic earthquakes increased underneath the volcano.
Lava began oozing out of the volcano's throat in a non-explosive eruption which accompanied several shallow quakes. The lava dome in the volcano's valley was partially collapsed.
When last seen the lava dome was taller than a 30-story building.
Efforts by the U.S. Geological Survey to land a helicopter inside or near the crater to measure the dome's new dimensions were thwarted by a cloud
Geologists expect the dome to grow large enough, after many years, to fill the crater and build a new peak at the mountain.
Lennon's killer wants guilty plea
NEW YORK – Mark David Chapman wants to plead guilty when he goes on trial today on charges of killing former Beatle John Lennon, but Chapman's lawyer wants his client to keep his original plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.
Chapman, 26, has told officials close to the case that he decided to change his past aid visit him in his visit at Ribers Island and told him not to
If Chapman changes his plea, there will be no trial and the world may never gain any insight into why the former mental patient from Honolulu
Chapman is accused of shooting Lennon to death last Dec. 8 outside his Manhattan apartment building, hours after Lennon autographed an album for him.
When the trial begins in state Supreme Court in Manhattan, Justice Dennis Levine requests defense attorney's request for a new payoff and requests to determine if it will be found guilty.
Two previous examinations found that he was and the prosecution opposes the motion, saving it would only delay the trial.
Officials close to the case said Chapman has only recently begun to discuss the killing in a rational manner.
They said Chapman, a born-again Christian, has appeared at peace since he became convinced God was directing him to plead guilty.
Chapman is being held in a special isolated section in the infirmary building of the jail, which is on an island in the East River.
The only other inmate in the section is Craig Crimmins, who was convicted of the staging of a Metropolitan Opera House violinist. But the two have little to show for their work.
Atlanta murder suspect arrested
**ATLANTA** (UPI) — Wayne B. Williams, a 2-year-old black free-lance photographer, was arrested and charged with murder yesterday. It was to be filled in the 28-month string of murders of 28 young blacks in Atlanta.
Public Safety Director Lee P. Brown said Williams was arrested without incident and charged in the slaying of Nathaniel Cater, 27, the 28th victim. His body was pulled from the Chatachoech River one month ago.
Brown refused to say whether other charges might be filed, saying, "We have one charge that he is being held on at this time."
Williams, who had been questioned three times about the killings, was handcuffed and taken from the modest apartment where he lived in Atlanta that he shared with his parents.
Brown declined to say what prompted the arrest, but said the decision was made in a meeting with Fulton County District Attorney Lewis Slaton and other officials that investigated the chain of killings that extended back to July 1979.
He was taken to the Fulton County jail, and Brown said a preliminary hearing would be scheduled later.
A uniformed policeman kept reporters and the curious away from the tightly-shuttered Williams home. The police officer walked from the house once but only walked from the house once but only

shook his fist at reporters who asked him for comment.
Police Chief George J. Napper and Major W.J. Taylor, administrative head of the task force, spent 10 minutes before he then emerged without any comment.
Williams has been a radio station owner, a free-lance photographer, a media consultant and a music producer. His friends call him a genius.
A boyhood classmate called him a genius, noting his exceptional ability in science and math. One 7th grade teacher called him "probably the best student I ever taught . . brilliant . . an ideal kid."
More than a dozen other acquaintances called him an able and enterprising young man with a promising future.
They seemed to know little about his personal life, but the initial reports of his possible involvement in the lengthy investigation expressed expressions of surprise and puzzlement.
The friends and teachers stopped short of calling him a loner, but they called him an independent person.
Born May 27, 1958, William is an only child who has always lived with his parents, both retired teachers, in a house that was a middle-class black neighborhood.
He graduated from high school in 1978 and began classes at Georgia State University, but he dropped out at the end of the 1977-78 academic year.
L. W. Butts, his high school principal called that a surprise.
"He would not have any trouble getting through college," Butts said. "It would have been a breeze. The only problem was that if it was no challenge of a challenge."
An electronics buff, Williams was only 14 when he began his low-powered radio station WRAZ.
Williams was also described as a "media group," who roamed the city late at night monitoring police calls on a sophisticated radio and beating most news crowds to fires and crime scenes. He was also picturing pictures to the highest bidder.
His record showed only one arrest, a 5-year-old charge of impersonating a police officer by speeding to a crime scene in a car equipped with flashing lights. The driver was unauthorized use of emergency lights and it was handled in traffic court.
By his own account, he most recently worked as a self-employed media consultant and as a manager and producer of professional recording artists. artists.
Williams was first questioned on May 22, two days before Cater's nude body was found.
He was questioned again May 23 and remained under surveillance until he was picked up in midafternoon on June 3 and questioned for 12 hours. That questioning attracted the media and the local point of each story about the case.
In an affidavit introduced at a hearing last Friday, Williams complained that stakeouts by police and television camera crews outside the home he shares with his parents were ruining his life.
He called on the judge to act before "the rest of my life is ruined irreparable." But U.S. District Court Judge Orina Evans ended the arguments by taking the matter under advisement. She still had not ruled yesterday when Williams was taken into custody.
Though Carter, 27, was older and bigger than most of the other victims, he was added to the list kept by the special police task force because of the manner of death -strangulation—and that his body was found in the river.
Five others among the 28 victims have been found in the Chattahoochee, and 15 others were either strangled or asphyxiated.

Services are pending at the Hulpieu Swain Funeral Home in Dodge City for Stamford, Pittman, a computer science graduate student who died in Friday's funeral.
Andrew Tsuabki, professor of theatre, will perform the mask dance. He said she was inspired by the story under Guru Keen Nath Sahoo in Serakella, India last winter.
Mr. Pittman, 30, was killed when a wall fell on him at the K Mart Discount Store. 31st and Iowa streets.
He was born May 2, 1951 in Dodge City. Survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clyffittman from Bloom, and a brother, Galen, from Canada.
"THE IS THIS first time I'm doing it after my study," Tusakai said. "Next year, part of the University will be teaching students to do this dance."
He said he would hold auditions for interested students who would perform the role.
Tusabai said the dance is practiced in three provinces in Northeastern India: Purulia of West Bengal, Sarikala of Bihar and Mayaubanj of Orissa. The
TUSBAKI SAID the mask he would be wearing, from Searaikella, fitted tightly and helped make the dancer's face look small and his body well-defined. She did not restraintenlation, so the dance would last only seven or eight minutes.
Tsukiab said he would perform to music by the Government Chan Dance Center. He recorded the music when he studied in India.
