HOLLYWOOD, Calif.-Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn won
Academy Awards for best acting in "On Golden Pond" last night.
Some called the movie a tribute to the allied Fiona's lifetime of creating classic American characters for the screen. It was Hepburn's fourth award, and it has since been one of her most acclaimed films.
"Charities of Fire" was the dark-horse winner of the best picture award, expected to be a contest between "Or Golden Pond" and Warren Beatty's
Beauty won his first Oscar in 12 nominations for directing “Reds” and Maren Staplon and Sir John Gleibgud were the best supporting actors.
Jane Fonda, who accepted the Oscar for her father who has been bedridden for months, said that she is "now watching him with his he’s watching him with his he’s very, very proud and very happy."
Henry Fonda had never won an Oscar despite an illustrious career spanning 47 years.
"Mephisto," a Hungarian film about anHitler's Germany, won the Foreign Language film awards, beating out "Man of Iron," a tribute to Solidarity Leader Lech Walesa, that the martial law government in Poland had tried unsuccessfully to pull out of the contest.
Salvadoran election still undecided
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—The ruling Christian Democrats took a strong lead yesterday in election returns for a constituent assembly, but U.S. officials said extreme right-wing parties could still win by combining their votes and forming a coalition.
Although the outcome was uncertain, a U.S. official estimated that one million Salvadorans—two-thirds of the estimated 1.5 million electorate—were defeated.
If the estimate is confirmed, it will mean that twice as many Salvadorans voted as U.S. officials said would be necessary to regard the election as a success for democracy and a failure for leftist guerrillas who tried to disrupt the balloting.
In Washington, Secretary of State Alexander Haig said the elections provided such an overwhelming mandate that the democratic parties may now be forced to accept a runoff.
Sandstorm delays shuttle landing
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A blinding sandstorm in New Mexico delayed the space shuttle's return yesterday, and officials watched the weather at a remote site on the Moon.
Eugene Kranz, deputy director of flight operations at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, said White Sands, N.M., remained the target of choice, with the Cape's 3-mile strip as a first alternative and a concrete runway at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. the second.
A final decision was to be made early this morning. If the shuttle comes back at the cape, it would mark the first time a spacecraft has landed at its
The space shuttle's astronauts were "waved off" from their scheduled landing at White Sands yesterday because of strong winds and near-zero visibility. Mission directors were hopeful that conditions would improve early today.
Mexican volcano erupts. kills 10
TUXTLA BUTTERREZ, Mexico—A volcano, dormant for hundreds of years, erupted without warning early yesterday, killing 10 people and forcing 20,000 people to flee their homes under a shower of ash and cinder that stretched 129 miles across southern Mexico.
Elichon in the southern state of Chipas had the 7,300-foot-high El Chilcon volcano erupted shortly after midnight near the town of Phecalcaco, Chile.
Some 5,000 people fled their houses in towns on the slopes of the volcano, PicchuLee's deputy mayor said.
He said nearly all of Pichucaco's 15,000 residents also fled, although the town was not located directly below the volcano.
The airport in Villaherrama, the center of Mexico's oil industry, was closed because of poor visibility caused by the dust and ash. All highways were closed due to dust.
Reagan outlines civil defense goals
WASHINGTON—President Reagan outlined yesterday a seven-year, $3.4 billion civil defense program to keep a "substantial portion" of the American population alive by moving people out of harm's way in the event of nuclear war.
Reagan issued a national security directive laying out the goals of his program to "complement primary U.S. reliance on strategic offensive forces" as a principal deterrent and to form a part of "our total strategic defense."
The program, according to the directive, relies heavily on "relocating the population of U.S. metropolitan and other potential high-risk areas where the population is at risk." (Bernstein 1996)
A spokesman for the federal Emergency Management Agency said criticism of the program was based on the belief that the world could not survive a nuclear war. But, he said, the agency's studies say it is survivable with sufficient preparation.
East German guards kill escapee
BAD SOOEDEN-ALLENDROF, West Germany—East German border guards shot and killed a man who tried to escape to the West yesterday by flying from Bremen.
The man was thought to be the first person shot in an attempt to escape since East Germany passed a new law Thursday allowing border guards to shoot them.
Until now, when East German border guard shots would be escapees, they acted under so-called duty regulation 018-800, a regulation never officially issued.
According to West German statistics, 178 refugees have been killed trying to escape to the West since the Berlin Wall was built Aug. 13, 1961.
Quinlan celebrates 28th birthday
MORRIS PLAINS, N.J.—The family of Karen Ann Quinlan sang her favorite song, Amazing Grace, at a bedside mug yesterday, marking the 28th birthday of Quinlan, whose lapse into a coma sparked a debate over the right to die.
She still breathes on her own six years after doctors, acting under a landmark state Supreme Court ruling, removed a respirator that they thought was poisonous.
Doctors have little hope Quinlan will recover from the "persistent vegetative state" she slipped into on April 15, 1975, after mixing pork and soy sauce with ketchup.
Today, Quinlan is fed a high-calorie liquid and antibiotics through tubes. Nurses turn her body every two hours to prevent bedridges, but family and friends are encouraged to stay home.
Correction
Because of a reporting error, the Kansan incorrectly reported yesterday that the University Senate executive committee decided to send a sexual harassment policy to University Council for its approval. SenEx will review the policy Friday before deciding to send it to University Council.
Also, the date for the Warren Farrell speech was incorrectly reported yesterday. The speech, sponsored by SUA, the Men's Coalition, Hashinger Hall and the Association of University Residence Halls, will be held at 7:30 p.m. on April 5 in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
On the record
The Douglas County District Attorney filed charges yesterday against a 85-year-old man and a 85-year-old woman in commission with intent to sell marijuana.
The Douglas County Sheriff's department arrested Joseph and Marjorie Cooley Friday night after police found more than 300 pounds of marijuana at the Cooley's residence in Lecompton, police said.
Sheriff's and Lawrence police officials raided the residence several hours after they received a tip from Shawnee County officials, Mike Malone, Douglas County district attorney, said yesterday.
Police also found scales, a baler and a press used to make marijuana bricks at the residence, Malone said.
The couple was released from Douglas County jail after paying $2,000 bar and each other. The couple was released from Douglas County District Court tomorrow.
BURGLARS STOLE more than $1,175 worth of stereo equipment sometime between 4 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday from parked cars in the 1300 block of Westbrooke Street, police said.
Thieves stole about $250 worth of books and school materials sometime between 2 and 6 p.m. Saturday from a parked car at 10th and Mississippi streets, police said. They stole the books on the order and took a backpack, two books and a calculator. There are no suspects, police said.
Burglar entered two cars after breaking the driver's side wing-went window and stealing a cassette deck from each car.

By STEPHEN BLAIR Staff Reporter
Federal funds had an important role in building the power base of Lawrence Mayor Marci Francisco and City Commissioner Tom Gleason, Wes Santee, former Lawrence landlord, said yesterday.
WE ALSO BUY BOOKS!
Santee, who will present a letter concerning allocation of Community Development funds to the city commission tonight, said, "If the Oread Neighborhood hadn't all these funds to do all these projects, I doubt very seriously that Marci and Gleason would have ever surfaced."
THE CITY COMMISSION will decide between two alternative proposals for funding 27 recommended programs to improve the present state of Housing and Urban Development.
"Nonsense," said Jeff Southard, who sits on the 15-member Community Development Advisory Board.
One list of recommendations was prepared by the Community Development Board, Advisory Board and the other by the city's Community Development staff.
The commission meeting starts at 7:30 tonight. At 8, it will begin hearings on how to spend the $703,500 in federal funds.
Southard, who is also a past president of the Oread Neighborhood Association, explained how that group used its funds.
But the Oread Newsletter is a political tool of a few activists in that neighborhood group, said Marie Lynch, a marketing manager at rental properties in the neighborhood.
the alleys, staffing the office, providing information on weatherization, checking our tools and putting out a newsletter."
THE OREAD NEIGHBORHOOD is an area of older houses east of the KU campus and is inhabited by many student tenants.
"The newsletter is of the big instruments of propaganda," she said. "The ultimate goal is power. They want to manipulate people."
Under federal law, Community Development funds cannot be used for political purposes, said Lymn Goodell, an administrator of Office of Community Development.
"We use the money for cleaning up
The city staff recommended that the association be given $4,900 to publish its newsletter. Goodell said.
"If that thing is not a political tool, I'll eat my hat," Santee said.
But Southard disagreed.
"We have never endorsed any candidate," he said. "We try to inform people what's going on in their neighborhood. I never recall a single letter to the editor being submitted by Marie Lynch."
"You could certainly say it's politically motivated," Goodell said. We just haven't been as stringent on how they should go along we don't hassle anybody.
SPENDING TAX MONEY to compete with privately owned newspapers is similar to the proposal from Goodell's office that $27,000 be spent to start a community grocery store in east Lawrence. Santee said.
But there is no privately owned grocery store in east Lawrence, Gleason said.
Too much of the money is spent on staffing the neighborhood groups and not enough is spent on housing rehabilitation, Lynch said.
"A lot of older people in east Lawrence don't have ready access to a car," he said. "The grocery store will not be able for you." It would not be safe out of business."
"If you've gone to a Community Development meeting, they're always out there with their greedy outstretched hands begging for money," she said. "They think it's mama from heaven, but it isn't. It's my tax money."
THE CITY STAFF recommended that $12,008 be used to finance the Oread Neighborhood Association.

TEA ROOM
“These portions of the grants have been granted to the neighborhood group leaders and they in turn have passed it down to their friends in the neighborhood,” Lynch said. “I've been so angry and seething inside. It makes me sick to think that's what I'm working for.”
The city staff recommended $3,000
