Bishop's death prompts curfew
By United Press International
BRIDGETOWN. Barbados — Troops with orders to shoot curfew violators on sight patrolled Grenada yesterday by an order from the military council that has ruled the Caribbean island nation since a coup left Prime Minister Maurice Bishop dead.
Leaders of the Caribbean community said they would meet tomorrow to discuss sanctions for what Barbados Prime Minister Tom Adams termed the "vicious murders" of the man known as the "black Fidel Castro" and five of his backers.
Bishop's death occurred less than two hours after a crowd of more than 3,000 people rescued him from the house arrest where his deputy had been held for nearly a week. His death stunned Grenadians
ARMY COMMANDER GEN. Hudson Austin, who founded the ruling New Jewel Movement along with Bishop, said a revolutionary military council was in control of Grenada and had imposed a curfew on the people until dawn Monday. Mr. Austin was also tasked with that they would be "shot on sight".
Soldiers patrolled the eastern Caribbean
island, 90 miles north of Venezuela, on Russian-made jeeps. The troops had patrolled constantly since Bishop, three ministers and two union officials were killed by government troops.
On Oct. 13, state-owned Radio Free Grenada announced that Deputy Prime Minister Bernard Coard had deposed Bishop and placed him under house arrest.
Western diplomats said Coard, a hard-line Marxist ideologue with strong Cuban ties, was running Grenada behind the screen as he told him that he had him from public outrage over the death of Bishop.
SOURCES CLOSE TO the ruling party's central committee said Bishop angered the board and other hard-lined Marxists in the New Jewel Movement in the city and the Cuban messenger from Cabinet meetings.
Austin vowed to protect "the lives and property of all foreign citizens," referring to approximately 1,000 U.S. citizens living on the island by a live by St. George's university medical school.
Dr. Charles Modica, chancellor of the school, told Cable News Network in New York that Grenada's new government had guaranteed the safety of the Americans on the island.
The deaths of Bishop, his five supporters and a
number of private citizens was estimated as high as 11, contrasted the 1979 coup that put Bishop into power at the cost of one policeman's life.

Prof says newest plan for downtown is best
By JOHN HOOGESTEGER Staff Reporter
A KU architecture professor said yesterday that the newest plan for downtown redevelopment was superior to previous plans.
Stephen Grabow, director of architectural programs, said the redevelopment plan presented by Town Center Venture Corp. was more urban in design than previous proposals.
The town Center plan has a greater chance of succeeding than the Sizerel plan." Grabow said. "It's more interesting architecturally. There is less disruption of the fabric of downtown because it's more compact, and it has more support from the public."
THE TOWN CENTER PLAN, which was unveiled two weeks ago, calls for building a cube-shaped shopping center in the 600 block downtown, between Vermont Street and the alley east of Massachusetts Street. The map shows the locations of the town's streets and roreote traffic maps. New Hampshire and Vermont streets.
into New Hampshire and will be housed in Grabow has spoken out about downtown redevelopment in the past. Last month he spoke favorably about changes made in the redevelopment plan for the 700 and 800 blocks.
Dean Palos, city planner working on downtown redevelopment, made alterations in Scheme 4, the plan presented by Sizeler Realty Co. Inc., Kenner. La.
Reiner, La.
Scheme 4 would place a mall east of Massachusetts Street, between Seventh and Ninth streets, and require rerouting New Hampshire Street to the east.
FALOS'S ALTERED PLAN, known as Option 3, added a public plaza at the corner of Ninth and Massachusetts street. Grabow called the idea "a grabber" and saw it as a vast improvement in the plan.

Mrs. King calls Reagan's remarks an 'insult'
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Coretta Scott King said yesterday that she considered it an "insult" when President Reagan expressed doubts about a newly passed bill to establish a holiday honoring her late husband.
it's hard for me to see that someone like that really believes in equality," King said in an interview. "What kind of America does he want it to be?"
The Senate voted 78-22 Wednesday to approve legislation designating Martin Luther King Jr. Day as the third Monday in January, beginning in 1986.
Reagan said at his Wednesday night news
conference that he would sign the bill as a symbolic tribute to the slain civil rights leader.
BUT NEW RIGHT activist Howard Phillips, bearing petitions signed by 45,000 like-minded individuals,
Phillips and four associates delivered nine boxes of petitions to presideia aid Morton Blackwell, Reagan's link to conservative and social justice. The president would back off his commitment.
Reagan said Wednesday night that he would have preferred an informal observance for King. He also said he was sympathetic to Sen. Jesse James, who had records of 1980s FBI wiretaps at King he divided.
Helms has said the FBI documents, sealed by court order for 50 years beginning in 1977, would
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said, "President Reagan's statement that we must wait 35 years before we can answer whether Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had communist associations and he was a communist sympathizer is a common unworthy of a president of the United States."
Reagan, when asked whether he agreed with a proposal from the senator, said, "We'll know in about 35 years, how it is."

KING HAS LOBBIED for the holiday bill ever since it was introduced in Congress 15 years ago, shortly after her husband was assassinated at the age of 39 in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968.
Regents plan would cut 4 KU programs next fall
By DONNA WOODS Staff Reporter
Four degree programs at the University of Kansas will be discontinued next fall if the Board of Regents adopts a recommendation to reopen the College Affairs and Special Programs Committee.
The committee's recommendation will be presented to the full board today.
The four degree programs are: the bachelor of environmental design in the School of Architecture and Urban Design; the master of science program in engineering mechanics and the doctoral program in environmental health engineering, both in the School of Engineering; and the bachelor of general studies program for the physical sciences in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Max Lucas, dean of the School of Architecture, said that the school had decided to phase out the environmental design degree program and the students were admitted to that program this fall.
THE TWO ENGINEERING programs that could be discontinued as separate degree programs would instead be designated as other emphasis within other existing programs.
The elimination of the bachelor of general studies degree for the physical sciences would affect the departments of chemistry, physics and astronomy, radiation biophysics.
Joe McFarland, Regents academic officer, said, "The bachelor of general studies degree is an inappropriate vehicle for students who wish to mator in the physical sciences."
REGENTS MEMBERS SAID that the B.G.S. degree was not adequate in the physical sciences because the "depth is not significant, rigorous enough for these particular fields."
The B.G.S. degree in the physical sciences would be eliminated at all Regents schools

AAUP head says 'surprise' by Regents is bad precedent
See PROGRAM, p. 5, col. 3
By DONNA WOODS
Staff Reporter
The Board of Regents yesterday established a dangerous precedent for reviewing academic programs in the future, the KU professor said. The institution of University Professors said yesterday.
Before the Regents make final program review recommendations, as they did yesterday, universities should know what the remainder will be, said Grant Goodon-du, the president.
"The precedent says that Regents can
make decisions that are a surprise to the University," he said.
Earlier this week, administration officials and faculty members of programs that were reviewed this summer were told what recommendations would be discussed in yesterday's Academic Affairs and Special Programs subcommittee meeting.
BUT FACULTY MEMBERS and students not connected with the programs being reviewed did not know what recommendations the Regents was acting on until yesterday's meeting.

Lebanese unanimously agree on location to conduct talks
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Foreign Minister Elie Salem said yesterday that the nation's warring factions reached unanimous agreement on a site under construction and end eight years of sporadic civil war in Lebanon.
Although Salem did not name the site, politicians said the talks would take place in Switzerland.
The reported agreement followed intense diplomatic activity involving U.S. and Saudi Arabian mediators and came only hours after the United Nations convoy of French peace-keeping soldiers.
Salem said only that agreement had been reached to hold the long-delayed talks "on friendly territory."
THE POLITICIAN, WHO have close links with the government, said the talks would occur in either Geneva or Bern, Switzerland. State-run Beirut radio said word was expected from the Swiss today or tomorrow confirming the negotiating site.
one of the diplomats arranging the talks was Saudi mediator Rafic Hariri, who said agreement on a talks site came during his contacts
THE PEACE TALKS are designed to work out a new power sharing formula between Lebanon's warring Christian, Muslim and Druse communities.
Previously reported agreements on a site for the peace talks collapsed when one or more participants in the negotiations pulled out at the last moment.
The reported agreement came shortly after rebels bombed a French convoy in the capital, wounding one French soldier slightly.
The talks breakthrough marked a concession belemnary, when until yesterday afternoon was adamant that no such thing would happen.
The bombing came less than 24 hours after a similar attack injured four U.S. Marines.
The United States, France, Italy and Britain sent almost 5,000 soldiers to Beirut 13 months ago to help keep the peace between Lebanon's warring religious factions.
The peace talks between Gemayel's government and the opposition were to have begun yesterday behind U.S. Marine lines at Beirut airport. They were called off when Muslim leaders refused to attend because of fighting in the area.
Beer testing is a job for taste 'Buds'
By United Press International
with Syrian Foreign Minister Abdel Halim Khaddam.
ST. LOUIS — Andy Steinbaugh sips beer in a room atop the 100-year-old Anheuser-Busch brewery each day and decides how the world's No. 1 selling beer will taste. It's a heavy responsibility.
In a room marked "Corporate Quality Assurance," Steinhubl and a handful of professional beer tasters sampled from 11 regional breweries that produce Anheuser-Busch products.
AT ONE TIME, his elite group of beer tasters could sip an unmarked ale and tell which regional brewery it came from. No more, Steinhulm says, because the regional breweries have been upgraded with almost identical equipment.
Steinhubl, vice president for brewing, is responsible for making a Budweiser in Boston taste the same as a Budweiser in Seattle.
"We're looking for consistency and control, and especially to maintain quality." Stenhubl said.
The beer experts meet five times a week at 3 p.m. — after their taste buds have recovered from lunch — and test various products to see whether any adjustments are needed in the prewing process.
"BEER tasting IS very psychological. You be surprised at how different beer tastes in here and in a bar." Stenhuiub
The beer tasters work in a climate-controlled "Sampling Room" at the top of the main brewing house overlooking Anheuser-Busch's 70-square-block complex. The decorations are deliberately "soothing" and the temperature comfortable. No phone calls are allowed, and the beer is cooled to exactly 42 degrees.
sant. "We usually work in quiet because you have to really concentrate. It's hard work, but it's enjoyable."
Visitors first notice eight middle-aged men standing by half-filled beer glasses, staring silently out picture windows. The experts swirl, sniff, sip and study each sample before recording their impressions.
"Our main goal is that it tastes nice and clean and snappy — we call it drinkability." Steinhubl said. "You want it to build up in your mouth gradually — and then go away.
"After you drink the first glass, you want to go back for a second and a third and a fourth."
If repeat business is the test for success, Steinhubl's team is a winner.
Anheuser-Busch, by far the world's largest brewery, sold 59.1 million barrels, or 1,832 million gallons, of beer last year. That's $5.2 billion worth of suds.
"Whenever you're on a Super Bowl team and achieve a certain level of excellence, I think you feel a special satisfaction," said Steinhubl, who started 32 years ago as a foreman at Pabst.
While professional brewmasters have more sensitive palates than the average beer drinker, Steinbult insists that they should be mindful of the taste.
He ridicules the idea that all beer tastes the same and that Anheuser-Busch only sells more because it advertises more.
"That's a lot of nonsense," he said. "Naturally, marketing is important in sales. But there's an awful lot of people that don't realize it."
ST. LOUISE — Andy Steinhubl, a professional beer taster for the Anheuser-Busch brewery, samples the beer each day from 11 regional breweries to see whether any adjustments are needed in the brewing process.
