Reagan says Star Wars blocked nuclear accord
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President Reagan, trying to put the best face on a summit that ended in frustration and remorse, said last night "we are closer than ever before to agreements that could lead to a safer world without nuclear weapons."
Speaking on television from the Oval Office the night after returning from the Reykjavik talks with Soviet leader Mihail Gorbachev, Reagan said his refusal to give up his strategic defense initiative was the sole reason no dramatic agreements were reached.
And, the president stressed, he would not give up Star Wars just to get a new pact with the Soviets
Reagan also said the Soviets had given no indication whether they would come to the United States for another summit meeting.
Reagan said he had insisted on the United States' right to put the defensive shield in space, even though the arms agreement proposed would eliminate the missiles the Star Wars system is designed to shoot down.
"SDI is America's insurance policy that the Soviet Union would keep the commitments made at Reykjavik," he said. "SDI is America's security guarantee, if the Soviets should, as they have done too often in the past, fail to comply with their solemn commitments."
Reagan said that before the standstill over SDl, dramatic progress was made toward a 10-year program to reduce all strategic nuclear arms — including bombers, air-launched cruise
missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles,
submarine-launched ballistic missiles and the
weapons they carry.
"While we parted company with this American offer still on the table," he said, "we are closer than ever before to agreements that could lead to a safer world without nuclear weapons."
Reagan said he had told Gorbachev from the start that attempts to drastically limit development of SDI were not negotiable.
But Reagan said there were no plans for a future summit — although the Russians had agreed a year ago to come to the United States for a meeting later this year.
"I told him I had pledged to the American people that I would not trade away SDI," Reagan said. "There was no way I could tell our people their government would not protect them against nuclear destruction.
"I went to Reykjavik determined that everything was negotiable except two things: our freedom and our future."

Aid changes may cause 900 to lose GSLs in '87
By ALISON YOUNG
About 900 students who received guaranteed student loans as their only form of financial aid this year may not be eligible for that money next year, the director of student financial aid said yesterday.
"This is going to be a real jolt to some students." said Jervy Rogers, the director.
In addition, other types of financial aid probably won't be available next year for the students who aren't eligible for GSLs.
This year, GSL eligibility was calculated using family income. Next year, family assets also will be considered in the analysis.
Changes in the way GSL eligibility will be calculated next year may eliminate students who didn't qualify for other forms of aid this year. Rogers said.
All other forms of federal and state financial aid already consider both income and assets in determining need.
The financial aid office processes about 5,500 GSL applications each year.
of aid probably wouldn't be affected.
The changes are part of the new guidelines from the federal Department of Education and are a result of the changes in federal financial aid programs.
Rogers said that students who received only a GSL this year but were eligible for other forms
Because of the way financial need is determined, the analysis may say the family can pay for the student's education when it really can't, be said.
The maintenance allowance, which is supposed to cover the family's costs for housing, food, clothing and other necessities is based on the lowest governmental figure, he said.
This year, the standard-maintenance allowance for a family of three was $10,160.
"The old middle-income student is getting the ax." Rogers said.
Rogers said the maintenance figures used to determine need more accurately reflected the expenses incurred in slumareas.

Wheel makes top 20 bar list

Last night, the owner of the Wagon Wheel Cafe showed why his bar was ranked in the November issue of Sport magazine as one of the top 20 bars in the country in which to watch a basketball game.

he said.

Bob Drury, a writer for Newsday, a newspaper in New York, and author of the article, said in a telephone interview that he never had been in Lawrence and admitted that he had ranked the bars arbitrarily.

City to hear petition keeping adult videos from minors
A petition asking for a stronger city ordinance prohibiting minors from buying, renting or attending R and X-rated movies and raising the age limit for X-rated movies from 18 to 21 will be presented to the Lawrence City Commission tonight, the petition's drafter said.
Jim Mullins, Lawrence resident, the drafter, said he had more than 400 signatures on a petition asking the city to reward an ordinance he said currently neither banned
minors from purchasing adult videos nor effectively prohibited them from attending public showings of R- or X-rated movies.
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said that before the commission would consider any action on the petition, the city staff would spend about two weeks researching it and the current ordinance.
City Prosecutor Jerry Little said the current ordinance "does not per se prohibit R- or X-rated video rentals or sales to minors."
He said the wording of the ordinance made it almost impossible to enforce.
The current ordinance prohibits distribution of "indecent or filthy" materials to minors. Little said there was no accepted legal definition of these terms, making the ordinance susceptible to being successfully challenged.
Mullins said that without a legal definition, the ordinance was ineffective.

KU to ask Legislature for increase in spending limit
To cover the expense of educating an unexpected number of students enrolled this semester, University of Kansas officials plan to ask the Kansas Legislature for an increase of about $1.5 million in the spending limit on its general fee fund, a University administrator said yesterday.
Ward Brian Zimmerman, budget director, said KU officials would ask the Board of Regents this week for approval to seek the spending limit increase from the Legislature during its 1987 session.
The Regents will meet Thursday and Fri
day at the Kansas Technical Institute in Salina.
According to official enrollment figures released last month, the Lawrence campus had an enrollment headcount of 25,822, a 4.2 percent increase over last year's 24,774.
The unexpected increase in enrollment caused KU officials to revise the fiscal 1987 budget so the University would have adequate resources.
The University's original general use fund for fiscal year 1987, which began July 1, included both state appropriations and a general fee fund. Zimmerman said.
The fee fund was based on two estimates.
average fee-collection and headcount enrollment, he said.
By asking for an increase in the spending limit, the Legislature allows the University to spend more of the funds it collects.
The average fee-collection for the Lawrence campus this semester was $606.60 for each student, and the estimated headcount for this semester was 24,580 - 1,242 fewer than the number that actually enrolled.
Based on the current estimated number of students and the average fee-collection for the Lawrence campus, the University is allowed to spend $14,910,228 of the fees collected this semester
Even if more students enroll than estimated, the University is not allowed by law to spend more than the budgeted amount, Zimmerman said.
But because of the unexpected headcount enrollment, University officials re-estimated the headcount enrollment and the average fee-collection for fall 1986, spring 1987 and summer 1987 for its fiscal year 1987 budget, Zimmerman said.
And because of the unexpected students, the University is requesting that $1,552,820 be released from the general fee revenues for the current fiscal year, he said.
Zimmerman also said that most of the University's fee release would be used to replenish the money now being used to finance additional supplies and instruction.
The agenda for the Regents meeting states, "In prior years, the Board has authorized institutions to seek legislative permission to spend excess general fee revenues associated with increased enrollment."
Zimmerman said, "The University is asking for sufficient resources to accommodate the new enrollment."
