Haskell could draw $3 million from bill
Kansan staff writer
Bv Carol Krekeler
The House Appropriations Committee in Washington on Monday approved a bill that would give Haskell Indian Junior College about $3 million in program and facilities financing.
The money was requested by Rep. Jim Slattery, D. Kansas, but it will not be available unless the bill is approved by the House and Senate before the end of the congressional session in October.
Nancy Mailr, Slattery's press secretary, said Slattery was confident the bill would pass in the House and Senate.
"We managed to secure this money at a time when budget cuts were primary." Malir said. "Haskell has always been important to him."
Mali said that both the Reagan and Bush administrations had tried to cut financing for Haskel, one of the nation's Indian junior colleges in the nation.
She said Slattery thought it was important that American-Indians preserved their culture.
"It's important to back this funding so that Haskell can complete its mission," she said.
the committee approved $394,000 to restore the cuts that President Bush had requested. Another $406,000 was approved for new classes, equipment replacement, summer school classes and continued cost increases.
The largest amount, $2.3 million, would be allotted for facility improvement and campus repairs.
Bob Martin, president of Haskell,
said that without the $394,000, the college would not be able to sponsor a summer school program. He said 268 students went through the program and graduated from Haskell this fall is 431 students.
"A major difference this year is that we have the active support of Senators Kassebaum and Dole," he said.
He said the support from national politicians had helped in trying to refinance the program.
Martin said that much of the **$2.3 million** would go toward the renovation of Tecumseh Hall, one of the three large structures on the Haskell campus.
Talks limit non-nuclear arms

United States, Soviet Union must consult allies before finalizing reduction treat
NEW YORK — The United States and the Soviet Union announced yesterday an agreement to limit non-nuclear weapons in Europe. If the treaty is signed it will represent the first limits on these arms in Europe since the end of World War II.
The two sides also say they nau made substantial progress on a separate agreement to limit long range闷骚问题.
The agreement came at the end of more than five hours of talks between Secretary of State James A. Baker White and U.S. Minister Edward Shearndade.
It sets ceilings on weapons that may be deployed in Europe but does not cover the number of soldiers that may be put in the field.
may be put in the field. Both ministers said that final
approval must await consultation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Warsaw Pact
The remaining roadblocks were limits on land-based airplanes and verification procedures for guarding against cheating.
The treaty is the projected centerpiece for a 34-nation summit meeting to be in Paris Nov. 19-21
Baker and Shevardnadze did not explain the deal they struck on these two points, although Shevardnadze said with a chuckle "of course the Soviet Union made all the concessions."
The two superpowers agreed in 1989 to limits on their short-range nuclear weapons in Europe.
The steady withdrawal of Soviet troops and tanks and U.S. cutbacks already are doing what the treaty seeks to accomplish.
The new treaty on conventional arms would require the Warsaw Pact to withdraw 40,000 tanks, more than 51,000 artillery pieces and more than 40,000 armored personnel carriers from eastern and central Europe — four-sevenths to two-thirds of the estimated current deployments.
The restrictions on the smaller NATO forces would be minimal, requiring only the removal of 2.000 tanks.
Artillery strength could be built up to a new ceiling of 20,000 for each alliance. The ceiling for tanks would be increased to 40,000 for armored personnel carriers.
A ceiling also was set for aircraft, but Baker and Shevardnadze declined to say what level they had agreed upon.

The Soviets, in a concession, agreed to limit naval-based aircraft

"We've been working very intensively and productively," Shewardnade said. "I am very pleased with the results of our work."
He said that "we have been able to teach mutual understanding on all the major issues."
baker called their session very productive, and added, "I too am very pleased."
Turning to another unfinished arms accord, one between the United States and the Soviet Union to cut long-range nuclear weapons. Baker reported that "we have been able to make substantial progress."
He said all issues had not been settled, but that he would return to New York tomorrow to discuss them with Shevardnaze again because he had little time to delve into them at yesterday's meeting.
Greeks try to limit crime, pranks

Bush takes blame for budget package
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — "Blame me," President Bush invites nervous Republicans as he searches for votes to pass an unpopular package of tax increases and spending cuts. The budget deal may be painful now but the alternative probably is a deep recession that could doom Bush's re-election hopes.
Bush has put his popularity squarely on the line for an agreement that has sent election-minded congressmen diving into foxholes. The deal will hurt everyone, with higher taxes on gasoline, cigarettes, liquor and wine and increased health care costs for the elderly in Medicare.
"It's like drinking a gallon of castor oil," said Sen. John Warner, R-Va. "but we're going to do
Maybe so, but Republican lawmakers, led by House Wipn Newt Ginchg and other members of the GOP leadership, have deserted the president in droves. They are particularly angry against him, because he is a man who robbed Republicans of the same popular campaign cry that propelled Bush into the White House.

popular.
Larry Sabato, political scientist at the University of Virginia, said: "They analyzed the economic situation and realize it's only going to get worse. It's better to make a corrective move now than closer to his re-election year."

Bush insists he is not making his decisions on the basis of the election calendar.
"I's, it guesses, about as complicated as a period as we've had since I've been president," Bush said, referring to the twin problems of the budget and the gulf. "But I'm not looking at it in terms of election. The American people are to something a little bit more broader gauged than that."
Curiously, Bush is not demanding complete Republican support. What he says is a vote to expand economic benefits.
"I wish all of them (Republicans) would support me strongly and lay aside some of the passions that one of the other of them have on a spice, but I don't think they will happen, if I believe what I'm hearing on the television."
Democrats in House criticize budget plan
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Liberal House Democrats rebelled yesterday against the $50-billion deficit-reduction package as President Bush and congressional leaders pushed hard for the plan on the eve of its first vote.
Leading House Democrats and Republicans expressed confidence that both sides would round up a majority of votes in the race, but they also outlined an outline of the package of tax boosts and spending cuts.
A number of liberal Democrats said they would oppose the proposal, complaining about its reliance on $60 billion in Medicare cuts over five years.
Twenty-seven more Republicans met with Bush at the White House, the third straight day on which GOP lawmakers were summoned by the president for his sales pitch. One White House official called the operation the Bush administration's biggest lobbying effort yet.
Debate focuses on ethics of animal use in scientific research
By Mike Brassfield
Both sides say science's future at stake
The debate was sponsored by the Campus Vegetarian Society as part of their Animal Rights Awareness Days.
Donald Barnes of the National Anti-Viision Section debated against Steve Carroll of the Incurably Ill for Animal Research.
Barnes began his argument by saying that he had experimented on Phenomenons and other animals for the years as an employee of the U.S. School of Aerospace Medicine. He said he was fired when he refused to conduct an experiment that he felt was unnecessary.
About 125 people attended a debate about the ethics of using animals in research last night at the Big Eight Room in the Kansas Union.

Barnes said that after he appealed his dismissal and was rehired, he began to re-evaluate what he had been doing for the past 16 years.
"I looked back at the thousands of monkeys that had been tortured and realized that I had been doing something that didn't amount to a hill of fire."
Barnes he thought that animal research retarded scientific advancement because it was done whether it was needed or not.
"Rats aren't human beings," he said. "Monkeys aren't little fuzzy human beings. You can't extrapolate from one species to another, tests from one species to another."
"I was in an airplane crash. Fifty percent of my body was burned. I spent 1½ months recovering in a hospital," he said. "Had it not been for the multitude of work done in animal research over the years, I wouldn't have lasted through the first week."
Carroll said that during the past 20 years, more than 200 break-ins into research labs across the United States had destroyed about $10 million worth of computers, equipment and most importantly, research records.
He said animal rights activists were trying to slow research by intimidating scientists and legislators and by discouraging young people from entering the field of animal research.
Carroll began his argument by stating that he would not be alive today without animal research.
"Where will we be 20 years from now? Nobody had heard of AIDS 20 years ago," he said. "There will be new challenges to overcome. Where will scientists find new treatments in the future?"
