4 injured in N. Ireland
BLEFT-AST—A terrorist bomb exploded in the face of a man as he opened the front door of his home yesterday. The seriously injured man was one of four persons hurt by a wave of 30 bombs planted on Northern Ireland to mark the fifth anniversary of "Bloody Sunday."
In London, sources said police believed the Irish Republican Army planted 13 bombs that exploded in the Oxford Street shopping district since Saturday morning.
Extremist bomb attacks have hit Northern Ireland every year since 1972 to mark *Bloody Sunday*, the name given to riots in Londonderry five years ago when the authorities detained two suspects.
Andrew Young sworn in
WASHINGTON—On his second Sunday as president, Jimmy Carter swore in the new White House, declaring, "Of all the people I've ever known in public service, Andy Young is the best."
Carter told reporters he would deliver a major address to the United Nations next spring. He would not divulge his intended subject, but the Boston Herald American said he would present the U.S. position on sanctions against South Africa.
Carter also said yesterday that he agreed with a State Department statement "So much has been done to champion of human rights," but he expressed skepticism that it should have been made publicly.

The British citizens were visiting Uganda as Amiri's guests for celebrations marking the sixth anniversary of liberation. The group has held a celebration in central African country.
Uganda Radio said the weather was "very bad" when the plane took off yesterday morning from Kabalega National Park to fly to the Kidepo National Park in northeast Uganda near the frontier with the Sudan.

The radio didn't name the persons aboard the missing plane.
Cold wave causes layoffs deaths,natural gas crisis
More than 1.5 million people were out of work as a cold wave continued through the weekend, forcing the closing of factories and businesses and a curtailment of natural gas consumption. At least 45 deaths were reported in the nation's eastern and mid-western states.
Ohio reported the highest number of workers sent home. The state Department of Community Development said Sunday that one million people, 25 per cent of the state's work force, had been laid off because of the Arctic-like weather.
Weather-related deaths from exposure, fires, heart attacks and carbon monoxide poisoning were reported in 10 states. Sixteen persons were missing from the disaster. The numbers are from the Walmart Mimi.
President Carter flew to Pittsburgh yesterday to examine western Pennsylvania, an area hit hard by the frigid winter and resulting energy crisis.
"I want to see first-hand the impact of the weather on a high concentration of embers."
"The reason for my being here is to emphasize that this now temporary shortage is going to be permanent," he said, and he added that care can be used to keep people on the job."
Congressional leaders were expected to
Carter said he had been told by local natural gas companies that suburban areas hardest hit by the winter would be without power and of next week if the weather didn't let up.
try to vote by Tuesday on legislation giving authority to ration natural gas.
The House Commerce Committee planned to finish work on its version of the legislation Monday so leaders could schedule action Tuesday.

MOSCOW (UPI) - The National Broadcasting Co. yesterday announced it had reached agreement with Soviet officials for exclusive rights to broadcast the 1980 Moscow Olympic games to the United States.
New seats, ticket discounts passed bv KUAC
U. S. broadcast industry spokesmen had said the Soviets' price tag was about $100 million—four times the cost of broadcast rights to the 1976 Montreal Olympics and by far the most expensive television fee of all time.
NBC spokesman refused to discuss terms of the agreement.
Staff Reporter
Robert Wussler, president of CBS Television, said he presumed NBC accepted its aim to the last Soviet offer that CBS sold it. The company, with technical investments worth $23 million,
In a Saturday meeting marked by unanimous decisions, the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation (KUAC) board gave its approval to spend 10,000 on the Memorial Stadium.

Recently installed aluminum bleacher seats in the northwest section of the stadium were defective and will be replaced at no cost to the University. The backs will be installed on the new seats, which will then resemble park benches.
Cyclic Walker, board member and athletic director, said the old seats are being ripped out and replaced with new ones because they were too worn of the things we were told they would do."
SPECIFICALLY, the blue paint on the seats wasn't supposed to wear off, Walker said, but some of it had been chipped off and was lost in a rental chair backs on them, Walker said.
Although some money will probably be lost initially, Walker said, it is best to install the seatsbacks now, while the old seats are being replaced.
Walker estimated the cost to install the plank seats to be $40,000 to $50,000. A season ticket holder can reserve the seats for $43.75, be said.
Installation of the new seats was expected to cause some loss in revenue from the sales of rental chairs, Monte Johnson, Wichita board member, said. He that said in the long run, however, the seats would probably pay for themselves.
IN SUPPORTING the proposal, Walker said, "This would be something nice we could do for our contributors. The people would be pleased."
in other business, the board unanimously passed several group discount-rate plans for next fall's single game football tickets. The rates would be for only three or four games, Walker said, because the Big Eight Conference regulates the number of games for which a member university can sell special rate tickets.
$2 or $3 tickets for senior citizens and special student groups.
The discount plans include:
—a family plan in which families of up to three children can attend three or four games for $80.
—a plan in which members of a Junior Jayhawk Club, made up of junior high school students and other youths, would be selected to play in the row of the stadium for $2 or $3 a game.
"OUR MAJOR concern is putting bodies in the stadium whenever we can and
can't get there."
Reading from the financial report for the 1977 fiscal year up to Dec. 31, 1978, Walker said KUAC's total income was $149,756. At that point, the football season was $29,978 over and the basketball season was $37,000 under the projected incomes in the budget.
Dou Messler, KUAC business manager, said it was too early to tell whether the company had any problems.
The board unanimously passed two amendments to the bylaws. The first changed the KUAC winter meeting from now until October; the second, in April, in paper. January and April.
THE SECOND amendment will make the new student body president, who is now an ex-officio board member a non-voting member.
five amendments submitted by Tedde Tasheff, outgoing student body president, were unanimously postponed by the board. Three of the amendments required power to fire personnel, specifically head coaches and assistant directors. The amendments require that future firing of head coaches and assistant athletic directors have approval by the board.
Taheff said the amendments stemmed from the firing two years ago of Don Farnbrough, head football coach. She said she would be disappointed time because they hadn't been consulted

WALKER SAID that soon after he became athlete director in 1973, he asked the board to give him a list of his powers. The list didn't direct him to consult the board on fringes of personnel, he said, he didn't do so when he fired Fambrouh.

causes the board would probably conform to the athletic director's wishes.
Tasheff's two other amendments would give the board's executive committee the authority to direct long-range planning for KUAC.
