Ingrid Bergman dead
By United Press International
Ingrid Bergman, a tragic heroine whose career spanned roles with Humphrey Bogart in "Casablanca" to a gripping portrait of Golda Meir at her 67th birthday Sunday after a decade-long battle against cancer.
The two-time Academy Award winner, who started her career 40 years ago, and in 1948 was voted by her professional worlds the most popular actress, as was dramatic in life as in film.
The Swedish born actress made more than 25 films and won Academy Awards for "Gaslight" in 1944, and "Anastasia" in 1986.
However, she did not receive even an Oscar nomination for her performance in the 1942 film "Casablanca" — the role that immortalized her more than any other.
She was the biggest female box-office draw in the world and even awed her peers.
The pedestal the public put her on emphasized the long fall in their eyes when it was revealed that she was having an affair with Rossellini in 1949 while filming "Stromboli" in Italy.
"It was absolute hell," Bergman said later. "I didn't think it would upset the whole world, but it did."
A bitter public uprue followed. She was assailed from pupils across the nation for betraying her husband and abandoning her daughter.
She eventually married Rossellin after being divorced from her husband, Dr. Petter Lindstrom.

Arafat leaves Beirut for Greece
By United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon—Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasser Arafat, his army scattered through the Arab world, left Beirut Monday on a Greek ship, still defiant and vowing to长寻 marched to Egypt, lead to ceasefire in a Palestine state.
"I am leaving this city but my heart is here — a part of my heart, a part of my conscience," Arafat said in an emotional meeting with Lebanese officials before leaving. "I am proud we had the honor to defend this part of Beirut from the barbaric, savage. Israeli forces."
"I am very proud that I was among these children, these women, these Lebanese people during these days. I helped participate in this heroic fight."
"This (Beirut) is a station and I am going to another station," Arafat said. Arafat's departure was the climactic moment in the U.S.-engineered plan to secure the Sinai Peninsula from 9,800 guerrillas and Syrian troops from the besieged capital since Aug 21.
Arafat boarded the white Greek cruiser "Atlantis" after riding to the port in the bullet-proof limousine of Lebanese Prime Minister Chefwik Wassil. The ship sailed for Piraus, Greece. About 60 of Arafat's closest aides went with him.
After a two-day visit to Greece, where Arafat will be greeted by Premier Andreas Papandreou, the PLO chairman is expected to head for Tunisia, one of eight Arab countries guarding guerrilla fighters from west Beirut.
Also yesterday, 588 PLO guerrillas left by sea for the Syrian port of Tartous and about 1,500 Syrians from the Arab Deterrent Deternor, sent to Lebanon to keep peace following the 1975-76 civil war, went overland from Beirut at dawn Monday. The Syrians took with them heavy weapons, including nine Soviet-made T-45 and T-52 tanks.

Arafat's last morning in Beirut was spent saying goodbye to Lebanese students who provided him with LGT营口 in Lebanon. He rode to the port accompanied by
Dressed in fatigues and his customary checkered headear, Arafat stepped from the blue sedan at the western edge of the port and was immediately swamped by wellwishers, journalists and bodyguards.
Lebanese gunmen, from positions several hundred yards from the port, fired artillery and anti-aircraft guns to sea to salute the departing PLO claimer.
A farewell ceremony prepared at the entrance to the port apparently had to be cancelled because of the pandemonium.
As Arafat's convoy, protected by three truckloads of French troops, moved into the port, it passed through a line of U.S. Marines stationed to keep peace during the PLO evacuation. The Greek, French and North Korean ambassadors were present at the port to bid Arafat farewell.
A Greek government spokesman said the "Atlanti" would arrive at Piraeus Wednesday and Arafat would leave either later that day or Thursday.
Continuing Education program teaches Kansas firefighters
By BONAR MENNINGER Staff Reporter
A tractor-trailer that simulates the interior of a burning building is one of the learning tools used to instruct students on how to build an airplane, the Division of Continuing Education.
Instructors in the Fire Service Training Unit, all experienced former firemen from around the country, provide hands-on training to many fire departments in the state. In various courses, firemen learn firefighting tactics and are shown the latest in fire services equipment, program officials said.
Glenn Boughton, assistant director of the program, said three instructors were on the road all year, traveling to and from different departments in the state upon request.
"We educate so that firemen can do a better job of protecting the citizenry."
horse-drawn fire trucks, it was all muscle and fun. Modern firefighting has become highly technical, and firemen need to learn as much as they
Courses offered by the unit range from basic fire prevention for schools and businesses to simulated aircraft fires.
Boughton said students were sent into the darkened hallways of the tractor-trailer maze wearing full gear and had to find their way out.
He said roughly 10 percent of firemen suffered from claustrophobia.
"I'd rather see them get into trouble in the trailer than in a burning building when they were rescuing someone," Boughton said.
He said firefighters who encountered special problems in the field sometimes had to be rescued.
As well as the field training provided on the road, the program administers a correspondence course for firemen. Boughton said 1,000 people had com-
nleted the courses since 1979.
The chief of one Kansas fire department spoke highly of the Fire Service
"Everything we've had from them has been very good, super, I might say," said H.L. Walter, chief of the Great Bend Fire Department.
Walter said the fire service training program was recently in Great Bend to conduct a five-day workshop on aircraft fires.
Classroom time was spent studying various aircraft and ways to handle fires involving the planes, and a mock of an airport followed the classroom sessions.
"We get quite a bit done," Boughton said. "We teach a lot of basic training, primarily because there are so many new firefighters."
He said there was a high turnover rate of volunteer firefighters because many worked for a department for only a few days, time before moving on to other things.
First-semester attrition rate rises
By STEVE CUSICK
Staff Reporter
The first-semester attrition rate for new freshmen at the University of Kansas rose last year, according to statistics the KU office of institutional planning and research released recently.
The rate was 11 percent for the 1981 class, compared to a 10.6 percent first-semester attribution rate for the 1980 freshman class, according to a re-analysis.
The attrition rate measures the number of students leaving the Uni-
l. 100
Deborah Teeter, director of institutional research, said 3,601 new freshmen enrolled at the beginning of the 1981 fall semester.
That figure includes only beginning students who initially enrolled in the fall or summer.
during the semester and 344 left during the break between fall and spring semesters, she said. So the freshman was very happy, because the beginning of the spring semester.
Teeter said she could not say whether the increase in attrition represented a significant jump, and that statistical tests would have to be performed on the data before such conclusions could be drawn.
The 1978 and 1979 freshmen classes both registered 10.8 percent first-semester attrition rates, the study said.
But 53 of those students dropped out
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said he was unable to say whether last year's jump was significant.
The 11 percent figure includes students who transfer to other universities or leave school and return the next semester, Ambler said.
"It's simply a gross number," he said. "It is not just the students who failed."
He said KU could expect to have at least some attrition because of students transferring to other schools.
"My greatest interest is trying to reduce the number of students who leave here involuntarily," he said. "If anyone like that leaves when they don't want to, then I am concerned. Because perhaps we have failed."
The research office figures the rate of freshman dropout by counting the number of new freshman at the beginning of the semester. The class is recounted at the beginning of subsequent teachers to determine the attrition rate.
According to the report, the dropout rate after the second semester was greater than first semester attrition for the 1978-through 1980 freshmen classes. The freshmen class entitlement was 0.6 percent attrition after the first semester, but the rate after the second semester rose to 15.1 percent, the report said.

WILL MORRIS KAY SHELVE
HIS CAPRICIOUS COMPASS?
Just a select few—William F. Buckley, David Stockman, James Watt, Jack Kemp, George Glider, and local businessman Pete Whitenight come to mind—could have done it. Only these and other dedicated supply-side stragglers could agree with Congressional candidate Morris Kay that the country is now proceeding in a hard-fought war. Mr. Buckley, Mr. Watt, Mr. Kay claimed that Mr. Slattery's policies would "turn the country back" to what the Journal-World describes as "the pre-Reagan days of deficit spending and ever-increasing taxation."
Only a capricious compass would lead Mr. Kay to conclude that the country is moving in a "new direction." Evidently Mr. Kay is unaware that this year's estimated deficit is the greatest in our history, and so his budget proposal would be Reagan Administration's proposed tax bill is the largest increase ever considered. Why it was just a few months ago that the supply-side contingent was telling us that a reduction in taxes would stimulate economic growth and our national deficit would soon become too large. The group is no longer of no small number of explanations for our prolonged recession.
Before the Reagan Administration brought us high unemployment and slow economic growth, Congressman Jack Kemp, in his book *An American Renaissance*, objected to "The public... (being) told that curing inflation requires higher taxes, higher unemployment, slower economic growth, and a ceiling on pay increases. These 'cures' follow from the idea that individuals cause inflation through their wage and price greed, and that the government has no hand in the decline of the value of its currency." i.e. inflation.
Probably Congressman Kemp, along with Mr. Kay and other dedicated supply-siders, has fallen prey to the supply-side straggler syndrome. The fallen frequently halicinate about responsibility and productivity. While professing admiration for the motivated supply-side leaders, he has become one of the economic entities. Even while fantasizing about a balanced budget, they consider digesting the largest deficit ever proposed.
Supply-side strangers view as expressions of efficiency reductions in governmental assistance to the unfortunate and dependent. These same flexible individuals apparently have no qualms about
—public funds being used in the construction of privately owned shopping malls.
—Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldridge's advising the U.S. steel industry to accept the European Economic Community-U.S. pact limiting steel imports because "it is in the interest of the U.S. industry to settle the overall matter."
—this country ignoring the starvation in Africa and the Indian subcontinent by tolerating here both the piling up of mammoth grain surpluses and governmental payments to our farmers for not planting grain on 5% of their cropland.
George Gilder, another probable victim of the supply-side stragger syndrome, deserves credit for at least noting, in his book *Wealth and Poverty*, that "a country's wealth turns out to be a more slippery sum than the spending power of its citizens or the reservoir of its resources*. Senator Bob Dole has said that nobody was went too far last year with some of Mr. Kemp's ideas"; but many think Senator Dole is speaking for the entire supply-side contingent when he adds: "I never really understood that supply-side business."
