WASHINGTON — Secretary of State George P. Shultz, arguing that the alternative is a communist victory in Nicaragua, said yesterday that the administration would ask Congress for $270 million in aid to the contraas for an 18-month period.

From The Associated Press.
Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Shultz added aid to the contras was the best insurance that Nicaragua would comply with terms of the Central American peace agreement it signed last month in Guatemala.
The announcement drew immediate criticism from a number of congressional Democrats and is certain to produce another round of heated debate on Capitol Hill over the administration's Central America
Shultz said, "If the Guatemalan agreement is to be implemented in a
way that secures a negotiated ceasefire, a democratic opening in Nicaragua and accommodation of basic national security interests . . . the United States must continue to furnish support to the freedom fighters."
President Reagan, asked by reporters just before he began a private talk with Pope John Paul II in Miami late yesterday afternoon, said it was the week's most additional aid and the contras because "you can't let them starve."
Reagan at first refused to respond to reporters' queries about Shultz's testimony, saying, "I can't answer that. This is not the place for that."
But as the president sat beside the pope in an orate Italian renaissance-style room in the Viscaya villa, he was asked again about the contra
"Just because an agreement has been signed that calls for some
waiting, you can't let them starve," Reagan said.
The pope, who leaned forward in his chair to hear the rapid-fire questions, did not say anything in response to Reagan's comments.
white House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater told reporters the aid request would "keep pressure on the Sandinistas as we go through the peace process and let them know the president is serious in his commitment not to desert the resistance."
The Guatemala agreement, among other steps, calls on the Sandinista government to arrange a cease-fire and implement democratic reform measures. NY, Nov. 2 about five days after the current contra-aid allotment expires. It also calls on the United States to cease funding the contras.
Reagan confers with pontiff
The Associated Press
MIAMI — President Reagan flew to Florida yesterday to welcome the visit of Pope John Paul II and to confer privately with the pontiff on Central America and the prospects for an arms accord between the superpowers.
"On behalf of all Americans, your Holiness, welcome back." Reagan said in welcoming the pope for the start of his second U.S. tour.
"As you exhert us, we will listen," Reagan said. "For with all our hearts, we yearn to make this good land better still."
The pope replied that he was "a
friend of America."
Reagan's remarks at the welcoming ceremony set the tone for private talks with the pope later in the day at Vizcaya, a lavish villa on Biscayne Bay where they were to confer for 45 minutes.
White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said the two would discuss arms control issues, next week's meeting between Secretary of State George Shultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze and the possibility of a superpower summit. He added that Reagan's policies in Central America — a heavily Roman Catholic region — would be
The pope, a former university professor, might have been amused by undergraduates at Florida International University who celebrated his coming with a "Toga and Pope Look-Alike Costume Bash" and the "Heaven and Hell Party" put on by a sorority and a fraternity.

Senator defends nominee
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sen. Orrin G. Hatch yesterday散说了 four members of an American Bar Association panel of being willing to play politics on the nomination of Robert H. Bork to the Supreme Court, and he said prolonged opaque talk about the presidency and the Senate in the 1988 elections.
Hatch, a Utah Republican and a leader of conservative senators, first defended the federal appeals court judge at a news conference. He then went to the Senate floor and unproceeded ideological inquisition of Bork and vicious attacks on the nominee's record.
The senator argued that the confirmation process for Bork has been politicized not only by Democratic senators and liberal groups, but by four members of the 15-person ABA panel who reportedly said the nominee is unqualified for the high court. A fifth panel member in the vote Wednesday is said to have taken the neutral ground of "not opposed," while the other 10 gave Bork the highest rating of "well-qualified."
When the Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings begin Tuesday, Hatch will have the role of responding to liberal critics of Bork.
Senate Majority Leader Robert Byrd, D-Wa. said that before acting on Bork, the Senate should act on the regular 13 appropriation bills.

Tandon wins state contract
Lawrence, KS - Success in the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) market has prompted Tandon Corporation to enter the microcomputer market. Available at Computer Outlet (804 New Hampshire), the Tandon PC line has become increasingly popular on campus.
Since the late seventies, Tandon Corporation has been known as the leader in the microcomputer disk drive market. To maintain their position as a market leader, they have redirected their marketing and manufacturing efforts to meet new requirements of computer manufacturers and endusers, including the introduction of an IBM-compatible computer.
See PCs on campus, September 10
Tandon went to the top to ensure the success of their microcomputer launch. Four IBM veterans, who were closely involved in the development and manufacturing of the IBM Personal Computer, were hired to manage the engineering and marketing divisions. This dedication to a quality product has allowed Tandon to make significant inroads into the PC marketplace.
In March, the State of Kansas signed a contract with Tandon Corporation to purchase PC/AT compatible machines. The PCA is functionally equivalent to the IBM PC/AT at almost half the price.
With an 80286 microprocessor,
an optional 80287 co-processor,
and keyboard selectable clock
speeds of 6 and 8 MHz, it offers
comparable performance. The
PCA was rated "operationally
compatible with IBM PC/AT" by
Future Computing, which is
the highest compatibility rating given.
The University of Kansas has
The Tandion PCA comes with 1 MB of RAM and a wide selection of hard disks for about half the price of a comparable IBM.
Tandon also has a PC/XT model which is ideal for word-processing and data entry. Both Tandons are a good choice for anyone who needs the security of a brand name and nearby dealer service. "Tandon offers high quality workmanship at an affordable price", says Mark Husby, Computer Oulet Sales Representative, "Overall, it is a good value."
found that a computer with these features and benefits is definitely a good buy, especially at state contract prices.
