Lebanon
continued from p. 1
During the 40-minute Mass for the French and American sevillemen killed last Oct. 23 in Beirut, Jean Taebat, a Rman Catholic priest said, "We appreciate all those who died for the Lebanese cause."
PISTOL-PACKING BODYGUARDS were interspersed in the congregation and Christian militia sharpshooters were stationed on nearby rooftops and side streets. The service was neither attended nor endorsed by Lebanese government officials.
French Ambassador Fernand Wibeaux led the French delegation that arrived under heavy guard.
"Oh, God, why did you take them so young?" Tabel said in French as he mourned the 241 American servicemen and 58 French paratroopers killed by the suicide truck bomb that reduced their barracks to rubble and led to the withdrawal of the Marine peace-keeping force from Lebanon less than four months later.

Birnbach
"I DON'T THINK people talk about it the way they used to," Birnbach, cla in a peach-colored skirt and bibs ensemble, said of premiax.
"I think the fascination is still there," she said. "But it's not the kind of prepmania that existed a few years ago. I think it just been absorbed." You'll notice people look preppish, much more than they did four years ago, five years ago."
In 1984, Birnbach's focus has shifted from exclusively preprep to every size, including adults.
ON THE LAST stop of a promotional tour, she talked yesterday at the Alameda Plaza hotel about her latest book, "Lisa Birnbach's College Handbook." The new handbook features profiles of 186 colleges, such as the University of Kansas, in all 50 states.
"I think the real stimulus for me was the fact that the preppy handbook was so successful on college campuses," she said.
Soon after the debut of her preppy handbook, Birnbach began working on the college handbook.
THE HANDBOOK, NOW in its fourth printing, mixes comments and facts about each school. Birnbach and her assistant paid two visits to KU, and students completed questionnaires on topics like the most popular off-campus hangout or the best parties of the year.
"First of all, the hills surprised me, upset me almost, because it shattered my preconceived idea of what Kansas was going to look like," she said. "It was more sophisticated than I expected. I like it. I like the school. I liked all the souvenirs. I thought they were great — very colorful. I have a lunchbox at home, which I'm very proud of."
Although Birnbach calls New York home, she found Kansas a pleasant place to visit.
Blue Jeans If You're Gay Day," are done with the intent to offend.
GLSOK continued from p. 1
Crisp said GLSOK could be in violation of the state's sodomy law.
THE LAW READS: "Sodomy is oral or anal copulation between persons who are not husband and wife or consenting adult members of the opposite sex, or between a person and an animal, or coitus with an animal. Any penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the crime of sodomy."
Under Student Senate rule, a petition will call an election if it contains the valid signatures of 10 percent of the student body - about 2,400 names.
Lichtward said GLISOK sought only to help homosexuals and not to promote the lifestyle.
Thom Davidson, chairman of the Elections Committee, said he had spoken with Crisp yesterday. He after he thought the committee would wait until after the Nov. 14-15 Senate elections to hold such a special election if Crisp's petition were declared valid.
Aquino continued from p. 1
Military Academy, where most top military aides had been trained.
Ver may have feared that the return and election of Aquino would mean the end of his job, Ravenholt said.
Ravenholt said that he thought Marcos had no knowledge of the plans to kill Auino.
"FOR MARCOS, THE assassination was the worst thing that could have happened," he申诚 said. "The public assassination of Aquileia and the attack that Marcos supporters could have done.
"It itd irreparable damage to the military. It brought a flight of capital out of the Philippines, and it brought an open express mail to the Marcos regime. It let loose pen-up feelings."
"In the national assembly election on May 15, I'd say that opposition candidates won 30 percent of the votes."
Public outrage over the Aquino assassination has led to a gain in the opposition's popularity, he said.
