House votes to eliminate contra plan
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A bitterly divided House voted yesterday to cut off U.S. military support for Nicaragua's contra rebels, rejecting President Reagan's aid request in the hope of spurring peace prospects in Central America.
The 219-211 vote, culminating six years of overt and overt military support for the rebels fighting the leftist Sandinista government, killed Reagan's request for $36.2 million in new aid to keep the contras alive as a fighting force through June.
It was a serious defeat for the president, who had lobbed hard on the issue for two weeks and had put the contrast among the top foreign policy priorities for his final year in office. Only a day earlier, Reagan had argued that failure to extend aid would strengthen communist influence in the hemisphere.
"Today's vote is the end of a
chartter," said House Minority Whip
"If you vote this package down, you'd better be prepared to bear the consequences," Michel said. "And who among you is smart enough to predict the path on which Daniel Ortega will take you?"
Current aid to the rebels expires Feb. 29, and democrates pledged to hold another vote before the month is out on an alternative package of purely humanitarian aid to the rebels, and to follow that up with a new emphasis on economic development aid for countries in the region that abide by terms of a five-nation peace accord.
The most controversial part of the defeated package was $3.6 million earmarked for weapons and ammunition, which Reagan had said he would withhold until March 31 to see how cease-fire talks went between the rebels and the Managua government. Those talks are scheduled to
Archie Marshall On the bench again
BY ELAINE SUNG
He watched from the bench last year — unable to participate, unable to contribute. Yet through all the physical and emotional pain he suffered over the past two years, senior forward Archie Marshall held on to one dream: to be able to get on the court again and play for the Jayhawks.
He toiled for a year to regain the strength and flexibility in his right knee, the one that was injured in the game against Duke in the 1986 Final Four. But this season, his comeback year, was not to be. On Dec. 30, Marshall was playing against St. John's in Madison Square Garden, New York, when he collided with Jayson Williams of St. John's and ripped the ligaments in his left knee
Irns time, the injury ended his season. The NCAA allows college players to be "redshirted," or to sit out, for only one year. Marshall used up his year to sit out last season, and he won't be allowed to play again. He has very little chance of becoming a professional player because of his injuries and lack of playing time. Marshall will graduate next year. He hopes his communications studies degree will land him a job in public relations. Now, as he rehabilitates his knee, he holds on to the comfort his teammates offer. He hopes that Kansas will make it to the Final Four again in the NCAA tournament. He cannot help, and he cannot play. He is watching from the bench. Again.

Q: What did you think of your performance up to the point of your last injury?
to the point or your last injury?
**A:** I can honestly say that I was doing a lot better. I could feel the improvement. Well, I guess I was kind of frustrated at the beginning of the year, but I was talking to a lot of other people, and they told me to give it time. They told me just to go out and play the way you want to. I kind of felt it getting easier — you know, doing things easier than before. I was starting to feel comfortable, and I felt myself getting better.
Q: How did you feel going into your first game this year, against the Italian National Team?
A: I was nervous. I remember that game. I wanted to just play well. I wanted to prove to everyone that I did return to the injury and that I was able to play. At first, I wasn't happy with the way I played. But I guess I didn't do so bad — after I thought about it. I was happy to be out there, be out there playing another semester of college basketball.
There was pressure, too. I felt the pressure of
