Aid continued from p. 1
A statement from the White House said, "These measures should be seen by the government of Nicaragua, and by those who abet it, as unmistakable evidence that we take seriously the obligation to protect our security interests and those of our friends."
PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN Larry Speaks raised the prospect of further U.S. actions to pressure Nicaragua, which Reagan portrays as a Soviet-sponsored staging ground for communist insurgency in the Americas.
A number of options remain. "Speaks me"
We hope it will be seen that we are serious.
I'll tell you the story.
Speakes said the economic option was chosen because the Nicaragua's economy was already unstable and the trade ban on U.S. tariffs had a substantial impact on the U.S. economy.
Justifying the action, the administration cited actions it said showed a "disturbing trend," including:
*New ties between Nicaragua and the Soviet Union announced in Moscow during the visit by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, resulting in assurances of new economic assistance.
- Delivery to Nicaragua last week by the Soviet Union of military helicopters and by East Germany of "a large shipment of military transport equipment."
*The recent capture in Honduras of seven nicaraguan, identified as agents of the
Nicaraguan state security service sent to assist Honduran rebels.
Reacting to the move, the Soviet news agency Tass called the trade ban the latest stage in an undeclared U.S. war against Nicaragua. In Managua, Sandinista leader Col. Bayardo Arce was quoted as saying, "There will be no going back. We must continue to defeat such aggressions, threats and blackmail."
In Managua, a government official said the embargo would not force Nicaragua to its "knees in hunger," and he urged Nicaraguans to make sacrifices to blunt the U.S. action.
"They have not been able to destroy us," said Arce, political director of the ruling Sandista party. "They will not succeed in forcing us to our knees in hunger."
Ortega, meeting with Yugoslav leaders yesterday, reiterated the Sandinista government's determination to safeguard its independence, non-aligned policy and the right to develop its own internal system of "political pluralism."
Reaction in the Congress, where Reagan's Central American policy has been hotly contested, was mixed.
"I think it's time to get tough with Ortega. Get tough and stay tough," Senate Republican leader Robert Dole of Kansas said, adding that he thought the move would strengthen Reagan's hand in trying to win aid for the contas.
newspapers was ignited and shoved into a Tower B elevator.
**SOME BLAME THE** **athletes**, most of whom live in the towers, for many the past and present.
Towers continued from p.1
Cobb says disciplinary problems normally occur when large groups of people live together. Ninety-five football players live in Tower D.
"When you have that many people, with that much energy and weight, they get to partying and they throw their weight around," he says.
"I can't think of any disadvantages of our living arrangement," he says.
Wilson says he will not comment about the athletes.
"There are some real problems. I don't want to get into the athletes," he says. "But they are a concern."
Curfews and room checks for alcohol help keep the players in line, he says. The rooms often are searched while the players are at practice.
Football teams have lived in the Towers since the complex's completion. Before the Towers were built, the team lived in Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
BILL WHITNEY ATLEATIC dorsitory director, says the players live together so coaches can control them and tend to their needs.
However, some football players, who asked not to be identified, say the room checks are a mistake.
"We're the football team," he says. "Everyone living in the Towers is on scholarship, and being on scholarship means living with certain things."
But Paul Swenson, Beatrice, Neb., senior and offensive lineman, says the room checks are not a problem.
LARRY BROWN, HEAD basketball coach, says he is considering moving his team out of the Towers because he wants them to mingle with other student groups. The players live in Tower A.
"They are students first and athletes second." Brown savs.
That is Kansas State University's athletic philosophy, too.
K-State's football players live in residence halls during their first two years, says Mo Latimore, K-State assistant head football coach. After two years, the players may live wherever they want.
He says the players lived together in treas, but coaches issued a change in hopes of a new era.
The team's academic level improved when the players separated, Latimore says.
However, the University of Oklahoma has living arrangements similar to KU's. Barry Switzer, head football coach, says OU has a special athletic complex for men and women.
"WE GOT OUT of that situation," he says.
"We make sure that football is one part and academics is another part."
"They work well for us," he says. "We haven't had any problems."
Towers residents also complain about unwanted house guests — roaches.
"I plan on moving out," says Kristi Stehroeder. Shawne sophromore. "I wouldn't be going to work."
"One day I even found a roach in my retainer case," she says.
Pam Tibis, Wichita sophomore, says she moved out last February because her apartment turned into a roach motel. She managed management sprayed, but roaches returned.
However, not all students say they are bugged by roaches. Toni Thurman, Shawnee junior, says she has only seen about three roaches in her apartment this year.
"Roaches have survived on this planet for years," he says. "They are good survivors."
WILSON SAYS THE management is waging a new spray campaign to battle the bugs. He says two of the 24 floors in the complex are sprayed each week.
Teaches have辛 since on this panel of years", he says. "They are good survivors." In an effort to improve safety and the Towers' image, Tower B was designated for women only and Tower A for professional and graduate students in 1981.
Wilson says a new lock system is planned for the other Towers in the future.
He says he thinks the Towers are a successful operation that will be even more successful in the future.
