No aids cut expected yet
By Deb Pederson
Senior Reporter
UNL Director of Scholarships and
Financial Aids Don Aripoli took a gam
ble Thursday and awarded UNL stu
dents money based on his estimate of
how much the federal government will
give UNL students in Pell Grants.
As of yet, no action has been taken
on the federal aid programs, Aripoli
said. Proposals have been made by the
Reagan administration to reduce the
number of eligible students receiving
student aid, but Congress has delayed
action on the proposals.
UNL's gamble is low-risk compared
to the chances other schools are tak
ing, Aripoli said because it waited until
this month to make its awards while
The following incidents were reported
to UNL police between 1 2:30 a.m. Mon-
day and 9:28 a.m. Wednesday.
Monday
12:20 a.Ki. Embezzlement report-
ed at Keim Hall on East Campus.
11:15 a. a. Vandalism reported

most schools made their awards in
April when the financial picture wasn't
as clear, he said.
Another reason UNL is in good shape
is because the amount of financial aid
at UNL is up overall, he said.
"We have more grant money, the
same amount for workstudy and a lit
tle less in Guaranteed Student Loans,"
Aripoli said. "But the lower amount for
loans is expected because we make up
for it on our own."
UNL has increased its allocations in
student aids in proportion to increases
in tuition, he said. UNL has at least as
much funds to give out this year as last
year, he said.
"Our students are fairly well insu
lated as long as Congress doesn't change
the rules," Airpoli said.

The last cut in federal aid was in
1981, he said. Since then the rules and
the level of appropriations have re
mained the same.
"I'd expect the first time we'd see a
cut would be for the 1986-1937 aca
demic year if Congress and the presi
dent agree on what student aid should
look like," Aripoli said.
Aripoli said he didn't foresee stu
dent aid cuts for this year because
social security and defense are "the
two big ticket items" with which Con
gress can reduce the federal deficit.
Congress will probably keep smaller
programs such as student aids at the
same appropriations levels and con
centrate on the big programs that
make a difference, namely, tax reform,
social security and defense, he said.

UNL's Office of International Educa
tional Services is looking for volunteers
for the Lincoln Friends of Foreign Stu
dents program. There is no financial
obligation nor do students need to live
with the volunteer "friends." Volun
teers, however, have an opportunity to
learn first-hand about the countries
and cultures of UNL students from
abroad.
'About 1,000 foreign students from
some 90 countries study annually at
UNL Many of them want and need
American friends someone to show
them a glimpse of American life a
meal, a ballgame, a movie or a picnic.
Among the countries represented by
students attending UNL are Malaysia,
Korea, the People's Republic of China,
Taiwan and India. Others come from
Europe, Africa and Latin America.
Single persons as well as families
are needed for friends. There are no age
or language requirements. All that's
needed is a genuine desire to help oth
ers discover America.
For more information on being an
American Friend, contact the UNL

Services, 472-3264

CIA employee arrested
for giving secrets to Ghana
WASHINGTON The nephew of the leader of Ghana and a nine-year
employee at the CIA have been arrested and charged with passing U.S.
secrets to the government of Ghana, administration officials said
Federal Bureau of Investigation and other administration sources said
Sharon Scranage, 29, an operations support assistant at the CIA who until
recently served in Ghana's capital, was arrested Thursday in nearby Alexan
dria, Va.
They said FBI agents arrested Michael Agbotui Soussoudis, 39, a citizen
of Ghana and nephew to the West African Nation's leader Jerry Rawlings,
Wednesday at a hotel in another Virginia suburb, Springfield.
A federal complaint filed before a U.S. magistrate in Alexandria Thurs
day charged both of them with unlawfully conspiring to provide illegal
information to the government of Ghana with intent to harm the United
States.
Both were ordered held without bail. If convicted, Scranage and Sous
soudis could face up to life in prison.
The administration has taken a number of steps to limit access to
classified information by government employees and contractors and to
tighten up security in general.
Also Thursday, the House voted overwhelmingly to reinstitute the
death penalty for military personnel convicted of spying in peacetime.
Robot sub recovers fiifjlit recorder
CORK, Ireland A robot submarine recovered the "black box" flight
recorder of an Air India jet Thursday. It is the last major piece of evidence
that could explain why the plane crashed last month, killing all 329
people aboard.
An American-built Scarab midget submarine brought up the black box
Thursday morning, almost exactly 24 hours after it recovered the plane's
cockpit voice recorder.
Both devices were located 150 miles off the Irish coast In over 6,700 feet
of water. No salvage operation has ever been attempted from such a depth
before.
An international recovery team is hoping the flight recorder
detailing instrument readings on the plane along with the voice
recorder, an examination of wreckage and forensic tests on the bodies
recovered, will indicate whether an explosion or structural failure caused
the crash.
Sikh extremists have claimed they put a bomb on board the 747 jumbo
jet, which was flying from Toronto to Bombay when it went down.
Pet turtle exports called health threat
CHICAGO Small pet turtles, banned in the United States since 1975
because they spred salmonella poisoning to children, are being exported
from the United States by the millions each year, posing a global health
threat, medical researchers said Thursday.
In Puerto Rico alone, there is probably one case of salmonella poison
ing for every 10 turtles sent there, the study in this week's Journal of the
American Medical Association said.
U.S. bred turtles, mainly from farms in Louisiana, are exported to
Japan, France, Italy, Hong Kong, Yugoslavia, Britain, and elsewhere in
Europe, Latin America and Asia, the report said.
Dr. Eugene Gangarosa of the Emory University School of Medicine said,
"What are urgently needed are export constraints in the United States so
that people of distant lands are protected against pet turtles and other
knowingly dangerous products we export, which include but are not
limited to pesticides, obsolete pharmaceuticals and toxic wastes."
Will disregarded, pets get life lease
LONDON A donkey, four pigeons, two bee swarms and other pets
sentenced to death by their mistress's will were saved from slaughter
Thursday, just two hours before their excution.
Mary Mirehouse, 77, had left instructions in her will that all her pets
should be destroyed before her funeral. Mirehouse had told friends that
she wanted her pets killed because no one could look after them as well as
she could.
But shortly before the funeral her lawyers issued a statement saving
that beneficiaries and executors had decided to hand the pets over to an
animal welfare organization.
Housewives call international strike
NAIROBI, Africa Militant housewives called Thursday for a world
wide stike by all women, whether they work inside or outside the home, to
back demands that housewives should get pay.
"We are working for nothing, or next to nothing, we are fed up with it,"
Anne Neale, a member of the London-based International Wages for
Housework Campaign told Reuters.
Women, she added, did two-thirds of the work in the world and recieved
only five per cent of the global income, while they owned as little as one
per cent of the world's assets.
Thousands of women are in Nairobi to attend Forum 85, a gathering of
Non-Government Organizations, and a U.N. Women's Conference to mark
the end of the decade.
Car thief escapes
DALLAS An exccnvict who had just been found guilty of car theft
bolted from the courthouse, dashed across the street, jumped on a bus and
escaped, authorities said Thursday.
Harry "Oilcan" Harrison, 39, of Wichita Falls, Texas, escaped during a
court recess after being convicted of stealing a 1883 Cadillac Eldorado
from an auto dealership. He was about to be sentenced and faced 25 years
to life in jail because of two previous convictions.
With a dozen people standing by, including his lawyer, two prosecutors
and Judge Thomas Thorpe, Harrison bolted from the third-floor court-room
of the Dallas County courthouse. .
