Esperanto spolcen
tonight at Union
'By Stephanie Carter
A language developed 100 y.f.ifS
international communication problems will be aa
cussed at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Nebraska Union.
Esperanto was developed to give the world a
common language that is easy to learn and under
stand, said Peggy Dennis, who helped coordinate
the lecture through the Baha'i Association at vNu
The man who invented Esperanto thought the
one thing that divided the world was communica
tion," Dennis said. "There are so many nusunder-.
standings due to no common language, and no one
was willing to say that English should be the one
' language"
International use of Esperanto would enhance
international relations, she said. It would be learned
as a second language, with no change in original
cultures or languages. ' '
Esperanto groups throughout the world spread
the language to help promote world peace, she said.
Esperanto is especially important in China because
of the problem in understanding different Chinese
dialects.
. Dennis said several Esperanto groups are active
in the United States, and some people in Lincoln can
speak Esperanto.
Most Esperanto dialects correspond with Esper
anto in other countries, she said. The Esperantists
also have many magazines and scientific journals
written in Esperanto, she said.
Last summer, 10,000 Esperantists attended a
conference in Budapest, Germany, she said. Another
conference will be held in Canada this summer.
June Fritz of Wilber will speak at the discussion.
Fritz is a psychologist involved with the recreation
activities at Crete Manor. Fritz taught herself to
speak Esperanto after her sons learned how to
speak it and wrote home in Esperanto. This makes
communication easier when Fritz's sons travel,
Dennis said. Fritz's sons have pen pals in other
countries who communicate with Esperanto, Den
nis said.
Fritz will teach classes on Esperanto at the Lin
coln YMCA. The classes will run for eight weeks and
will cost $15. For more information, call the YMCA.

from the Reuters News Report
Ceacoiire ccreca upon
by Lobaneca fectiono
DAMASCUS, Syria Saudi Arabia Thursday
night announced agreement on a general
ceasefire among the warring factions in
Lebanon bef;nnin; today.
Saudi mediator Prince Bandar Bin Sulan Ibn
Abdul-Aziz told a news conference here after
meeting with Syrian official;: "I an pleased to
announce that we have reached .;,reement for
a ceasefire." The announcement followed inten
sive talks Thursday in both the Syrian and
Lebanese capital to help reach a ceasefire
agreement in Lebanon. Bandar twice met Syrian
Foreign Minister Abdel llalira Khadara and
Saudi businessman Rafiq Al-IIariri was pres
ent at the second meeting Hariri flew in from
Beirut with Lebanon's response to a Saudi
peace plan for Lebanon, details of which have
not been discussed. Bandar said a formal
announcement of the ceasefire would be made
today either in Damascus or in Beirut.
Soviet compound bombed
NEW YORK Three bombs were tossed over
the fence of the housing compound for Soviet
citizens working in New York Thursday, des
troying a car but causing no injuries, and the
authorities believed Jewish extremists were to
blame. FBI agents were permitted into the
complex, in the exclusive Riverdale section of
the Bronx, to retrieve bomb debris and other
evidence and this was being shipped to
Washington for analysis.
A spokesman said the FBI had little infor
mation on the group which was purported to
have been behind the bomb attacks: Jewish
Direct Action.
An anonymous caller contacted news agen
cies minutes after the explosions, saying such
actions would continue until imprisoned Jew
ish dissident Anatoly Shcharansky and other
Soviet Jews were released and allowed to
emigrate.
The leader of the JDA, Chaira Vancier, later
told reporters that as far as he knew none of
the 300 members of his group had anything to
do with the bomb attacks, but added: "We are
of course sympathetic and understand such
action by Jewish freedom fighters.
Iftcsinssr: Ciicrnenlio bclio clout
VANCOUVER, British Columbia New Soviet
party chief Konstantin Chernenko is unlikely
to dominate other Soviet leaders because of
his personality and the fact he lacks the
domestic clout of an American president,
former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said.
"You have to remember it is a core leadership
of elderly gentlemen that are wary of each
other and very wary of losing their jobs," he
told reporters on a visit Wednesday.
U.S. nlrentienl of Porrln rlnims
WASHINGTON - A U.S. official Thursday
saia it naa no evidence that heavy lignting in
the Iran-Iraq war had significantly changed
the battle lines.
State Denartmpnt. jfnnlrs?Tt;in John Hushes
Said Washin rt rn hrtA lAntWn nvnrrid ahoilt
the 41 -month-old war and added the increased
military activity "deepens one's concern."
Iran claimed Thursd-v its r.rmv had driven
25 miles into Iraq and "liberated" a string of
Iraqi villages.
But Hughes said while there had been heavy
lighting as far as we are aware there is no
evidence that the lines of battle have changed
significantly in the lost several days."
Hughes did not say how the State Depart
ment obtained its intelligence, but the depart
ment traditionally relies on military survreil-
uiice, uxv reports and otrier materials.
