The new structure is being built
from interest on money that al

do not have to pay any extra fees

When the health center moves
into its new space next year, it
will emphasise outpatient servi

and raove after-hours from sec

Blom told the senators.
More than half of UNX stud

include the number of students
who benefit from programs like

Each UXL student pays $423
per semester to support the

Students can usually see a doc

WASHINGTON Five American seamen held by Soviet
authorities for a week were released to a U.S. Coast Guard
cutter on the high seas off Alaska Wednesday, the State
Department said. The American seamen' supply ship, the
Freida K, was also released to the Coast Guard cutter.
State Department spokesman John Hughes said he under
stood the seamen had not been forced to sign a statement,
desired by Soviet officiab, saying they had ceLDcrately sailed
into Soviet territory last W ednesday. Hughes said earlier that
the United States had formally protested at what he called
Soviet pressure for the seamen to sign the statement It also
objected to delays in allowing the men contact with VS. offi
cials. U.S. officials were not notified for two days that the men
and their ship had been seized and were not put in telephone
contact with them until Monday, he said.
High school SAT ecores improve
NEW YORK The nation's high school seniors have sharply
improved their scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, but it
may take until the year 2000 before scores achieved two
decades ago are seen again, the College Board said Wednesday.
College Board President George Hanford told a news confer
ence that the average score on the SAT rose four points this
year, the biggest yearly gain since scores started to slide in
1963. National average SAT scores of high school seniors rose
one point on the verbal section and three points on the math
secion, he said.
At the current rate of improvement, Hanford said, the 1963
math average, 502, would not be equaled until the year 2000
and the verbal average 478, even later. Perfect scores jn both
parts is
mt fights abuse
WASHINGTON A Justice Department task force Wednes
day unveiled a wide range of recommendations aimed at fight
ing what it called the widespread problem of physical and
sexual abuse in American families. The year-long study pro
posed law enforcement officers, prosecutors and judges to
intervene more vigorously in cases cf spouse abuse, mistreat
ment of elder ry relatives and molested children.
Noting that family violence cases tend to be the most under
reported of any crime, the study called for better data collec
tion by the federal government. It recommended better coor
dination between the criminal justice system and various
social service agencies, especially to protect victims of family
violence.
Among the 62 recommendations presented by the task force
to Attorney General William French Smith were:
Law enforcement agencies should make family violence a
priority response, instead of the low urgency it is now given.
Prosecutors should not require family victims to testily at
preliminary hearings, when possible, and special policies
should be adopted to make it easier for child victims to testify.
Sierra Club endorses Mondole
SAN FRANCISCO The Sierra Dub, one of the nation s
leading environmental groups, broke a nearly century-old ban
on partisan politics and Wednesday endorsed Democrat Wal
ter Mcndaie for president.
"We need & president who will make living in America a
pleasure not a health hazard," Michele Ferrault, president,
said. Conservationists strongly oppose most Reagan adminis
tration environmental policies such as the leasing of wild pub
lic areas for mining and offshore oU drilling. And Sierra Club
ofSciab accused President Reagan of being lax in cleaning up
toxic waste dumps, working against pollution control laws and
appointing anti-conservationists to top environmental
protection groups.
Mondale, speaking to a friendly crowd of at least 5.C00 peo
ple said, I will end the lawlessness, and that's w hat it is, the
lawlessness that's destroying our environmet. I will take pollu
ters to court and not to lunch " The former vice president
accused Eeagan of being out of touch with the nations pollu
tion problems.
