U.S. experts' inquiry led to death
By United Press International
SAN SALVADOR, EI Salvador--Two U.S. land reform experts and the head of El Salvador's controversial land reform program to stop an inquest into army-related fraud in the slain Salvador said yesterday.
The remarks came as U.S. labor sources leaked a court report to the New York Times implicating two officers and a rich Salvadarian businessman in the 1981 murders of Michael P. Hammer, 42, of Pontiac, Md., Mark David Peariman, 36, of Seattle, and Rodilo Vlere, 43, director of the Salvaduran Agrarian Transformation Institute.
HAMMER AND PEARLMAN, employees of the AFL-CIO's American
Institute for Free Labor Development, were shot to death with Viera Jan. 3, 1981, in a bathroom of the Salvador San Hotel.
"I told AIFLD about two months before they were killed at Rodofo Viera was going to be murdered," said Leonel Gornez, Viera's closest adviser, in a telephone interview from Washington with UPI.
"My source told me that it was not some civilian trying to shoot him," said Gomes, who was working with Viera at land reform institute, known by its Spanish acronym ISTA, at the time of the assassinations.
"SOME PROPERTY had been sold to the government twice, part of the profit went to the original landowner, and part went to members of the militia." Gomez said, adding he thinks the killers wanted to stoin the ISTA probe.
been overpriced by at least $41 million." Gomez said.
The New York Times report, based on court testimony by confessed trigrammen Jose Dimas Tala Vacevado, 27, and Santiago Goncer Gomez, 30, charged with the murder of Sibrian ordered the former National Guard corpsons to kill the three men.
ON THE BATTLEFRONT, elite U.S.trained troops moved into beachheads along El Salvador's eastern Pacific coast yesterday in a cut off suspected clandestine shipments to letst guardillas.
Friday, Judge Hector Enrique Jimenez Zalidvar改进 Lopez Sibrian freed for lack of evidence, which prompted the U.S. Embassy to issue a rare public statement saying it was "increulous and dismayed."
Military officials said 2,000 troops were being deployed into beaches near Isla de Mendez, about 75 miles east of the capital in an island-dotted government says is a major landing point for terror smuggled from Nicolaura.
THE MILITARY sweep came amid initiatives by the government's leftist opponents for negotiations with the government for a political solution to that that has claimed an estimated 35,000 lives in more than three years.
KU-German student exchange finalized
By BRET WALLACE Staff Reporter
A former KU student returned to Lawrence from Germany yesterday to help pave the way for more German students to come to the University of Kansas.
Helmut Sauer, professor of English at the University of Dortmund in Dortmund, West Germany, helped finalize plans yesterday for an exchange program between Dortmund and KU.
Sauer was a Fulbright scholar at KU during the 1954-54 academic year and returned to the University as part of a program to universities across the United States.
Another purpose of Sauer's visit is to gather information for a class called "Education and Sociology in the USA," he said. By visiting the United States he can speak from personal experience, he can show his prefers to use second-hand reports.
At KU, Sauer earned a master's degree in education and English and was an assistant professor of German.
"The time here was one of the best periods of my life, although I have never worked so hard, either before or since, as I did that year," he said. He took 32 credit hours and taught full time while he was here.
"I enjoyed my year here immensely." he said.
Sauer said the biggest change he noticed in the University since 1684 was that it had grown so much, both in number of buildings and students.
Also he said he heard dogs barking all the time, which he did not notice in 1953.
ANOTHER ODDITY Sauer said he noticed when he came to Lawrence in 1953 was that people did not lock their doors. When he moved into his boarding room house, he asked the landlord for the room and she asked him why he needed them.
Although a large part of his trip will be social, he will also be working on setting up more ties for the exchange program, he said.
Sauer said it was easiest to start an exchange program if there were people at the universities who knew each other and were willing to do the work.
Anita Herzfeld, director of the office of study abroad, said there was some informal exchange with Dortmund and she would be more structured next year.
Although most of the current exchange students are in the School of Architecture and Urban Design, Sauer said he hoped to expand the program to incorporate education, American studies, English and engineering.
HENLEY JONES, Leawood junior,
said he spent two months at Dortmund
University doing research in chemical
engineering. Aside from learning new
technical skills he tried to learn more
about German students and their
attitudes toward school and other
aspects of life, he said.
"I do not think the philosophy of the program is to work in a technical lab all day and then go home and read technical magazines all evening. I tried to get out and mix with other students," Jones said.
"I highly recommend that anyone with a background in a technical field and a foreign language go to a country
where that language is spoken. This is an excellent way to broaden their horizons as well as their practical experience with that technical field."
KU NOW HAS a program that allows students to go to Germany for two months.
Herzfeld said one German student had come to KU for an internship in architecture and another was coming to KU for a chemical engineering internship.
Next year, two architecture students will receive scholarships to study in Dortmund for a year and two architects will receive Fortran will come to KU, Herzfeld said.
Jim Mayo, professor of architecture and urban design, went to Dortmund on an exchange last year and Dennis Domer, associate dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Design, will go in December. Domer was instrumental in getting the architecture exchange program started, Herzfeld said.
Herrfeld said she began working on an exchange program two years ago, after visiting Dortmund as part of a Fulbright sponsored trip.
Therapists seek beneficial uses for music
Staff Reporter
By BRET WALLACE
It is a slow period at the grocery store. The soft music reflects the mood. But as business picks up, so does the termo of the music.
The technique is common. The soft music is intended to influence people to walk more slowly and buy more, but the music speeds up during busy hours and then slows down through the store quickly, allowing more customers to be accommodated.
Alicia Gibbons, director of the KU music therapy program, said this type of manipulation of human behavior was frequent, but music therapists were trying to find beneficial uses for music's manipulative ability.
"We use music to alter behaviors, other than musical, for the overall effect."
THERAPISTS WORK with mentally retarded patients to help enhance learning skills. For example, they play songs that help teach fundamental skills like combing hair or dressing and songs that encourage patients to share or to wait their turn to do an activity. Gibbons said.
They also put retarded children in classes with normal children and have them do activities together that are geared to the level of each person, she said. For instance, the children may be put into a musical ensemble where the children might carry the melody and the retarded child might carry the beat.
This type of activity encourages group interaction and helps the retarded child adjust to social situations, she said.
SHARON HOLT, Pueblo, Colo., junior, is doing clinical work for the first time this semester. She said she was working with two other students on a group of children in the special education department.
Holt said she was excited because she could already see signs of improvement in the children, some of whom have mental or physical handicaps.
The music therapy students started by looking at each child to determine musical and nonmusical goals, she said.
They do a lot of singing activities with the children, Holl said, to capture their im-
"I love music and I love kids, so it seemed like the perfect thing to go
into," Holt said. "It is really fun because you become close to the kids."
GIBBONS SAID the main goal of music therapists working with retarded children was to put them in the least restrictive environment. The goal of the therapy may be to advance children enough to return to a normal classroom or home setting, or to help them themselves, such as dressing, even if they have to stay in an institution.
Although the majority of their clientele are psychiatric patients, music therapies also are working in childbirth and stress, she said.
Music therapy first appeared after World War II, Gibbons said, when music was used in veterans hospitals to quiet patients and improve their social well-being.
Social interaction is also important in working with elderly clients, she said. In geriatrics, therapists work in nursing centers and day care centers for the elderly.
THEY AGAIN try to have programs in which each person can participate on his own level. Gibbons said that in one type of therapy, clients formed a musical group. Sometimes patients who could play an instrument worked
with some who had no musical background.
"These older people want to learn," she said. "There are some people who just want to play with the music, but we don't need to learn anything through it we won't learn anything."
Janet Gilbert, assistant professor of music education, said music was also helpful in teaching patients how to show moods. Gilbert she worked with emotionally disturbed adolescents, where they had been abused or neglected.
The therapists helped the patients learn to show feelings by passing out slips of paper with an emotion written on it. The patients were instructed to play an instrument to represent the emotion. They also would analyze the moods of current rock songs that the adolescents liked.
GIBBONS SAID music therapists usually work as part of a team consisting of art therapists, social workers, speech therapists, speech pathologists and teachers.
The team decides where it thinks the patient should progress and each team member uses his own medium to reach that goal, she said.

Guest scrawls on chest kills self with overdose
By United Press International
NEW YORK—A house guest whose nude body was found in the Manhattan apartment of ex-Rep. Fred Richmond scrawled a cryptic love message across his desk and apparently taking an overdose of prescription drugs, police said yesterday.
The "i" and "o" letters in the
message are often the juvenile
sms for hugs and kisses.
The dead man, identified as Gregory Bergeron, 21, of New York, wrote the message, "I will always love U X O X O X sin angel," across his chest with a ballpoint pen backwards as if standing in front of a mirror, said Deputy Chief Rudolph Ponzi. He said police did not know its meaning.
PONZINI REFUSED to disclose the contents of a second note written by Bergerman that also was found in the office space of the congressman.
Ponziin said police had not yet spoken to Richmond. He said Bergerson was a house guest at Richmond's apartment "off and on for a year."
Richmond, a self-made millionaire and four-term Brooklyn Democrat, pleaded guilty Aug. 25 to federal tax evasion and drug charges and resigned from Congress. He also had admitted sex from a teenage boy in 1978.
RICHMOND, 88, represented one of the poorest congressional districts in the state but spent much of his time in York at his Sutton Place apartment.
He said police considered the case a suicide but an autopsy was being performed.
Repeated attempts to reach Richmond for comment were unsuccessful. Bergerson's nude body was discovered at 6:15 p.m. Tuesday in a bathroom by husband's chauffer in the seventh-floor apartment on Manhattan's East Side.
He stepped down amid a re-election campaign for a fifth term. He had been the target of wide ranging federal grand jury investigation and pleaded guilty in 2014, in which the government dropped its probe of other charges against him.
Richmond will be sentenced Nov. 12 and faces up to seven years in jail.
Randolph was later arrested in Manhattan on a charge of homosexual prostitution.
THE GRAND JURY was also investigating Richmond's campaign financing and was trying to determine whether Richmond knew that Earl Randolph, a Massachusetts man he helped to get a clerical job with the House of Representatives in 1981, was an escaped captive.
