Although Reagan waged a classic last-minute blitz for votes, O'Neill rallied the opposition with repeated warnings that Reagan's policy would lead the United States into another Vietnam War. He also relieved some pressure on election-sensitive members by promising to allow votes in April on other plans to help the embassy.
In a rousing appeal, Rep. Claude Pepper, D-Fla., argued Reagan's case, saying, "We are talking about the character of our hemisphere. We are saying we will not tolerate comedy on our dominant character of any star in the hemisphere, that's what we're saving."
The vote was seen as the most important policy test of Reagan's second term and the defeat could affect the president's prospects for victory in other tough battles with Congress over budget-cutting, Pentagon spending and tax reform.
Regents

the Regents of the progress in this area, Clawson said.
In other action, the Regents approved requests to spend over $500,000 on asbestos removal at the University of Kansas and at the Med Center.
Warren Corman, architect for the Regents, said removing asbestos in Snow Hall would cost $275,000. The rest would be spent on asbestos removal in Robinson Hall at the Med Center.
The Regents denied a request by officials from Wichita State University asking for additional doctoral programs in chemistry, geology and applied mathematics.
Warren Armstrong, president of the Wichita State, said the school needed the programs because of the industries and businesses in the area.
Regent Norman Brandeberry said the request was too extravagant considering the financial climate of the state.
Brandeberry suggested removing doctoral programs at other Regents institutions if the programs needed to be added at Wichita State.
The Regents decided to make an extensive study of the education needs in the Wichita area before considering the addition of the programs.
heard a recommendation from the Council of Presidents endorsing a 3-percent increase in fees for all students plus $100 for non-residents for the fall of 1987. This was one of the proposals recently suggested by the Regents Special Committee on Tuition and Fees.
In other action, the Regents:
- passed legislation requiring the presidents of Regents institutions to outline the goals of their universities and present them to the Regents.
- approved remodeling and repair requests for the Med Center totaling about $92,000.
Class
George Paley, the owner of the store, said he was glad the plans were done by a KU student.

"I have a philosophical idea that the University and the community should work together more," Paley said.
"My idea of working with the University is to give students a project to work on — not just on paper — but that they can see developed and realised projects, the opportunity to work on something that's actually going to happen."
Although the expansion will include the removal of an entire wall inside the building and the shifting of most of the store's merchandise, Paley said, the goal is to maintain the character of the building.
Chris Armstrong, project coordinator for Robert W. Phillips and Associates, 733 Massachusetts St., said he wanted to get students in Stone's class involved in the restoration of the Eldridge House, 701
Massachusetts St., because he did not have experience with historic restoration.
"I don't have the eye architecture students have," Armstrong said. "Besides, this is a way to interface academia with the workforce. It's something that can be done outside the classroom."
The Eldridge House, Armstrong said, will need almost a complete gutting to return the building to its status as a first-class hotel.
There are a lot of existing photographs of the way the hotel looked before it shut down 15 years ago and became an apartment building, Armstrong said. But students will be needed to put the details together.
Stone said a building like the Eldridge House was just as important to the heritage of American ar-
citachitecture as a building like Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson
"If Monticello were to disappear, we would still have a lot of information about Jefferson," he said. "But if we lose Massachusetts Street, that part of history is gone."
Architecture students need to have respect and knowledge of past styles of architecture, Stone said. Architects in the past dealt too often with abstract ideas that appeared to come out of nowhere.
"They basically started an idea as if there was nothing there," Stone said.
"But the buildings of the past are important because what else do we have to learn from unless we create a new type of architecture every Monday morning — and then the buildings all end up looking like Wescoe."
