British secretary resigns;
Argentina suffers casualties
LONDON-British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington restarted yesterday because of the "humiliating affront" of Argentina's seizure of the Falkland Islands. A British armada is en route to the distant South Atlantic in a bid to recapture the crown colony.
Within hours, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher appointed Fran Cyphis, the leader of the House of Commons and a former defense minister, to
Hunt, who gave the first full account of Friday's battle for the British Crown Colony in the South Atlantic, said the Argentines suffered higher casualties than they had admitted—five killed, 17 wounded and as many as 10 others believed killed when an armored personnel carrier was blown up.
Argentina said it last only one man in the battle Friday, and three more Saturday in a battle for South Georgia Island, a dependency of the Falkenstein Islands.
Argentina's foreign minister said his country might ask members of the Organization of American States, including the United States, to help defend the country.
Beagan ignores AFL-CIO boos
WASHINGTON—President Reagan got a cold yesterday from recession-weary construction work that he ignored their boos and sought help to repair the problem.
Shortly before Reagan addressed 5,000 delegates to a legislative conference of the AFL-CIO building and construction trades department, union officials decried administration economic policies they blamed for the recession.
Heagan urged the audience to stay with his economic program. To abandon it now, he said, would only compound the problems.
At a news conference earlier in the day, Reagan had said that the unemployment rate—already matching a post-World War II high of a percent—was 46.9%.
"We're in the trough, the bottoming out of a recession," he said. "And one of the characteristics . . . is that employment lags behind and very often in the recovery."
"There may even be more unemployment because, I guess that's why they call it a trough."
Mount St. Helens emits gas, ash
VANCOUVER, Wash. — Mount St. Helens shot out a gaseous eruption for three time in about 49 hours that signals that lava and gas were blasting up the ground, triggering signs that volcanic activity was on the rise.
The latest eruption, at 4:20 p.m. CST, was described as a "small smal

13,000 feet" earlier, a crater—an elevation of about 2,200 feet.
Earlier, the volcano shot two towering plumes of steam and ash four and five meters into a pattern indicating the movement of lava or gas, or both. deep inside
"It means an eruption is quite likely at any point," said a spokesman, A.B. Armis, of the University of Washington geophysics department, referring to the eruption.
Reagan will address U.N. meeting
WASHINGTON—President Reagan said yesterday he would address a U.N. nuclear disarmament conference in June, and he raised the possibility of meeting in New York with Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev.
Reagan said at an impromptu conference he would make a U.N. speech on "the very big subject of nuclear weapons" after the economic and security crisis.
"And I hope very much that President Breznev will be on hand to do the same thing and address the same group," Reagan said.
The Kremlin issued a statement yesterday denying a published report that Brezhnev had suffered a stroke and planned to resign within a month. The statement said Brezhnev would be out of the public eye for a month, however, because he "is currently taking his routine winter vacation."

Woman rescued from avalanche
SQUAW VALLEY, Calif. — A woman buried under tons of snow for five days in a massive avalanche at a ski resort was miraculously found alive yesterday.
Annie Conrad, an employee of the Alpine Meadowsski Resort, was found in an A-frame building devastated by the snow slide that plowed into the resort on Wednesday and killed six people. Another person was still missing. Conrad was flown by helicopter to a hospital about 10 miles away.
"The only thing we know is that she's alive," a spokeswoman for the Placer County Sheriff's Department said. "We did hear report that her vital signs are normal."
Six bodies were recovered last week. The search was called off Friday because of avalanche danger. It resumed shortly after noon yesterday.
Gunman kills instructor, classmate
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — a student at Garland County Community College apparently went beekest yesterday and shot to death one of his instructors
He was caught more than 100 miles away after a chase in which shots were exchanged. Loy was freed unharmed.
Authorities said the student, Kelvin Love, 26, of Little Rock, then fled the school with Carrie Lov. 18. as a hostage.
A sheriff's spokesman said Love was waiting in line to work on a computer terminal when William Putnam, Love's teacher, said he wanted to talk to Love about his grades. When Putnam started to walk into his office to get a computer sheet, a shot was fired. Several shots followed, the spokesman said.
Killed were Putman, head of data processing at the two-year college, and Donald Schamp, a student.

Because of an editing error, yesterday's Kansaan reversed the figures in one Student Senate budget allocation. It should have stated that the River had increased by $20,000.
KU gridders receive probation for thefts
By BECKY ROBERTS Staff Reporter
Three University of Kansas football players received probation yesterday in Douglas County District Court.
Staff Reporter
District Judge James Paddock sentenced Cedric Alexander, Chicago freshman, and Renwick Atkins, Chicago sophomore, to five years in prison. Brodrick Thompson, Cerritos, Calif., junior, to three years probation.
The players pleaded no contest to charges of burglary and felony theft on March 10.
ALEXANDER AND ATKINS must pay court costs and restitution to their victims. They were found guilty of burglary and felony theft.
Thompson was found guilty of felony theft and also must pay court costs and restitution to his victims.
Head football coach Don Fambrough said in a prepared statement that the players would be able to play against the team during spring practices.
Alexander, Atkins and Thompson spent 10 days in the Douglas County jail during spring break after they were convicted of the felony charges. The state requires that anyone found guilty of a felony must spend 10 days in jail before sentencing.
Before Paddock read the sentences, he asked the players for any remarks they might want to make.
"I think I've seen both sides of the coin and I want to stay on the right side." Thompson said.
Atkins said, "I recognize the fact that what I've done is wrong. I don't feel I'll be involved in anything like this again."
Alexander said, "The crime that I
Alexander was found guilty of a Feb. 9 burglary at a residence in the 700 block of Ohio Street. Four speakers, a stereo amplifier, a stereo tuner, a cassette deck and a turntable were stolen.
THE DISTRICT attorney's office originally charged the men Feb. 17 after KU police recovered more than $6,000 worth of stolen property from a Jayhawk Tower apartments on Feb. 12.
In one burglary, a turntable, a stereo receiver, a cassette deck and two speakers were stolen. In the second, a portable television, a component stereo and speakers were stolen.
In his statement, Fambrough said, "I have given much thought to this matter. I believe these three young men deserve a second chance to complete their education at the University of Kansas.
"They will be placed on a rigid probation concerning their participation and future in our football program."
Alkins and Thompson were found guilty of two separate Dec. 25 burglaries at the Towers.
DURING THE 1981 football season, Atkins, a 6-foot-5, 265-pound offensive tackle, and Thompson, a 6-foot-6, 265-pound defensive tackle, started on the Jayshawts. Atkins started his starting halfway through the season.
Med Center official disputes worker's discrimination charge
committed was foolish. If probation is granted, I'd be a low risk. I'd try to better myself and set a good example."
KANSAS CITY, Kan.—A discrimination complaint leveled against the University of Kansas Medical Center last week has little basis because of a case involving classifications, the director of personnel at the Med Center said yesterday.
The 6-foot-9, 295-pound Alexander trained with the football team last season. He was academically ineligible to play.
The three players have not practiced with the team since it began spring practice a week ago.
Last Wednesday during Gov. John Carlin's speech at the Med Center, a secretary from the affirmative action committee for the University promotion practices at the Med Center.
BILL TUSTEN, the director of personnel, said he believed no discrimination occurred because of the difference in positions.
The secretry, Mikki Townsend, alleged funds were used to promote a white woman in another department when she was passed over. Townsend is black.
A classified employee must be reviewed more thoroughly by the personnel department and carries a record of his employment, he said. The promotion of an
Townsend is a classified employee, Tusten said, and the other woman is unclassified.
unclassified worker usually includes only a salary and not a title change.
"The circumstances were a bit different," Tusten said. "The cases didn't involve jobs that had the same classification."
Townsend is currently a second-level secretary and makes about $960 monthly. The position that she wanted pays about $1,350 monthly.
Unfortunately, Tusten said, the Med Center's recent budget problems had stopped promotions of classified employees throughout the hospital.
"There are many people under review and many of them probably deserve a promotion—the just aren't enough funds," Tusten said.
THE LEGISLATURE recently rejected a request from the Med Center for increased funds. Sagaing occupancy rates at the hospital were blamed for the Med Center's more than $6 million deficit.
Pam Horton, an aide for Carlin, said the governor's office was investigating the discrimination complaint but would wait until the investigation was completed.

Group juggles requests to allocate Senate funds
The fledgling Student Senate budget subcommittee and some tough decisions to make on the pecking order of student groups when it finalized its allocations for fiscal year 1983 early yesterday morning.
And considering the amount of money requested by student groups against the amount available, the subcommittee did an admirable job of attempting to allow funds according to Senate rules and its own set of criteria.
commencing next Fall,
and are due for completion by April 20, 1982.
Applicants must have at least a Sophomore status next fall and a 2.5 G.P.A.
Analysis
If you have questions, please call 843-8559.
After six nights of listening to groups' requests and then 26 hours of deliberations this weekend, the subcommittee trimmed requests from $121,000 to a little less than $78,000 and passed the budget unanimously.
E. O.E.M/W
ALTHOUGH its final total amounted to about $20,000 more than the Senate's original sum, it is less than
made just about as many cuts as it could, going line by line through every budget from 60 student groups.
The amount of time spent by the committee seemed inordinate. But the time taken resulted in justifiable action on the individual budgets.
"Ninety-five percent of the cuts were rational, Joe Robb, the Senate's assistant attorney general."
He said in the past, during deliberations, the committees considering budgets got to a certain point and just started cutting.
But because of legislation passed last year, the budget recommendations from this subcommittee will go directly to the Senate. In past years, it went through specialized committees such as sports, then through the finance and auditing committee, and finally to the entire Senate.
MEMBERSHIP ON the committee was open to all interested students. Of the 60 who originally signed up for the committee, about 15 to 20 members of a representing diverse backgrounds and interests stuck with it the entire time.
But Tom Berger, finance and auditing committee co-chairman, said he was disappointed because he did not think enough minority and women students showed an interest in the committee.
"It itles with the students. If they don't want to exercise their responsibility, it will continue to be a group of people who are not is not represented," Berger said.
THOSE WHO DID participate in the budget process cut carefully.
whether they were considering cutting allocations for a $12 stapler to $10 for a cheaper model, or thousands of dollars for rent and utilities.
"I really gotta say this group did an outstanding job," Berger said. "There was a real serious attempt to come up with criteria."
Berger said although he didn't mean that previous finance and auditing groups hadn't attempted to be fair. Mr. Gough said the committee actually wrote guidelines.
But that was the committee's job to ask the groups to explain their requests.
During hearings when the subcommittee listened to the groups and questioned them about their budgets, some of the groups' representatives felt they were being hashed by the subcommittee and its direct questions.
Representatives for groups that were well-organized and had prepared budgets according to specifications, and then thought the questions justified.
During deliberations, the subcommittee applied strict guidelines to its discussions and cuts to maintain security and avoid emotional outbursts.
THE FACT THAT all groups applied to the single subcommittee rather than several specified committees assured consistency, because the subcommittee demanded the same information from all groups.
The committee also seemed just in its decision to give priority to groups that made some effort to support themselfs.
During deliberations early Monday morning, the committee decided to fund the two groups with the largest requests. Friends of Headquarters and the other committee accounted for a percent of their requests, based upon the amount actually allocated last year.
Their budgets were set at $9,919 and $10,435 respectively. They should be able to get the remainder of their budgets from the Senate during next fall's supplementary budget hearings as they have in past years.
And considering the care it took with each request, the subcommittee should be able to defend its cuts before the entire Senate this week.
Along with Berger, Robb and finance and auditing co-chairman, David Zimmerman, the committee members work on behalf of their fellow students.
The Senate must determine whether it will make further cuts in the budgets to get down to $33,000 or take the tax plan to $45,000, a savings account of about $7,400.
The responsibility now lies with the Senate.
