Daily Nebraskan Monday, March 17, 1986 By The Associated Press Page 2 No opi ii ly ui ecmei o decry 'too many rules FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Some Corning, N.Y. disappointed college students are finding "not everything goes" dur ing spring break this year, after increased efforts to control the esti mated 350,000 who are pouring into town for sun and surf. "I wouldn't come back," said Steve Barckley, 22, a senior and stu dent government president at Fair leigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. "It's not an appealing place. The Bahamas is better." City officials have banned drink ing on the beach, vowed to enforce the state's drinking age, recently raised to 21, and said they would try to curtail destruction from the six week party. Police arrested 830 people dur ing the first 18 days of the break, compared to 889 arrests for the entire period last year. Police Capt. Ed White attributed about 20 per cent of the arrests to the drinking laws. The city also erected a 6-foot cement and wire-mesh wall to widen the sidewalk and reduce automobile-pedestrian accidents. Last year, three people were killed and 100 injured along the narrow 1 12 mile strip of beach and bars. "You can't drink on the beach. They put walls up. It's net as wild as last year," complained 24-year-old Lance Bronson, a veteran spring breaker and now an engineer from NASA's backup astironawt-teacher' reports to work McCALL, Idaho The woman who was the No.-2 choice as the teacher-in-space is ready to ride the next available flight and starts work this week on space agency educational programs. Barbara Morgan reports today to NASA's Edu cation Affairs Division in Washington, D.C.,said Ed Campion, National Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman. She'll provide a teacher's view on how the branch can use interest in the space program to help teachers lure children into math and science, and act as liaison between NASA and the non profit Young Astronauts Program, which is de signed to spur interest in space careers, he said.

They're going to kill this town if the old fogies get their way." Police Chief Ron Cochran said the "anything goes" attitude is over in Fort Lauderdale. "Not everything goes, and there are rules. But we think they can still enjoy Fort Lau derdale." Spending $120 million in 1985 and expected to spend at least that much this year, students have a warm place in the hearts of local businessmen. But some students also drink too much, then leave tons of litter and destroy hotel rooms, residents say. Not so 250 miles north, at Flori da's other prime spring break des tination, Daytona Beach. Police there say they expect less rowdiness and fewer problems from the esti mated 500,000 students flocking to their beaches. "We've got an altogether differ ent breed of kids," said Daytona Beach Police Capt. Noel Ouellette. "We have the blue-collar kids and down there they get the rich kids." Another advantage is the size of Daytona's beach. "They have to crowd everybody into a real limited area," Ouellette said. "We've got 22 miles of beach." Students also can choose among Miami Beach, Fort Myers Beach, Cocoa Beach and Key West. "It's like combining the first best job in the world, which is teaching here in McCall, with the second best job in the world, which is being an astronaut," Morgan told pupils during a recent trip back to McCall, where she teaches second grade. Morgan was to have shared the assignment with Christa McAuliffe, the nation's first space bound teacher, who was killed when the shuttle Challenger exploded Jan. 28. Morgan had trained with McAuliffe and the other six members of Challenger's crew. "We were real good friends and co-workers, and I loved her very much," Morgan told her fym iSji mm& f ;-v,:".

Beseeching Congress "to vote yes," Reagan emphasized his belief that "it is not Nicaragua alone that threatens us." In a televised address from the Oval office, he asked viewers, "Tell them to help the freedom fighters. Help us prevent a Communist takeover of Central America." In prepared remarks, four days before the House votes on his aid proposal, Reagan urged his countrymen not to ignore "the malignancy in Managua until it spreads and becomes a mortal threat to the entire New World." Sen. James Sasser, leading the Demo GENEVA OPEC oil ministers emerged glum-faced and with no word of progress Sunday after four hours of emergency talks on strategies to halt the steepest oil price decline in history. Saudi Arabia's oil minister, Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yam an i, was quoted by Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper as saying prices could hit $8 a barrel unless all oil-producing countries, in cluding those outside OPEC, agree on a price-support program. Arturo Hernandez Grisanti, president of the Organization of Petroleum Ex porting Countries and Venezuela's oil minister, said participants at the Sun OPEC split n 51 pirnce strategy hometown newspaper, the Central Idaho Star News, during a two-week vacation from NASA training and other duties following the shuttle accident. Morgan, 33, lives with her husband, Clay, a novelist and smokejumper, in a two-story cabin on Payette Lake just outside of McCall, "made from old railroad ties, honest," she says. NASA gave her no guidelines about talking to reporters, Campion said, but she joined astro nauts in observing a period of silence after the shuttle accident out of respect for the victims' families. Future shuttle flights are on hold pending government-sponsored proposal to join the United Nations.

Sasser has proposed compromise legislation that would give the Sandinistas time to talk. Making his case for $70 million in military aid and $30 million in non lethal funds for the so-called Contra forces, Reagan said, "We are asking only to be permitted to switch a small part of our present defense budget to the defense of our own southern frontier." A senior administration official, briefing reporters at the White House on the president's speech but insisting he not be identified, said Reagan was about 10 to 12 votes short of victory in the House and would lobby members in search of support. day meeting voiced their general posi tions but did not discuss the main issues. "We will begin tomorrow to discuss what is the fair share of the market that OPEC is willing to defend," he said through an interpreter. Grisanti said the 13 OPEC delegates would meet Wednesday with represen tatives of non-OPEC oil producing coun tries, but did not identify those coun tries. Indonesian Oil Minister Subroto said several ideas were being consi dered but no consensus was reached. He declined to elaborate. has been fair in its policy on ad vertisements.

The official said the administration remains unwilling to compromise on the amount of money Reagan requested or by placing new restrictions on how the money is spent. But he acknow ledged "the possibility of the president agreeing unilaterally to allow some time between the enactment of the leg. islatlon and the actual delivery of mil itary assistance" to encourage peare Displaying a map of the region and an airfield photo from Nicaragua, the president charged members of the rul ing Sandinista regime with selling ille gal drugs to Americans, using their country as a terrorist command post and threatening the security of the Western alliance by seeking to spread revolution through Central America to the Panama Canal. World oil prices, In decline for months, have plummeted from nearly $30 in December to about $15. The Kuwait news agency quoted Kuwaiti Oil Minister Sheik Ali Khalifa al-Sab&h as saying he offered at Sun day's session to cut his nation's daily crude oil production if all OPEC mem bers agree to a "new system of produc tion quotas." There was no word on reaction from other ministers. The OPEC ministers hope to reach agreement among themselves on a price-support plan before a meeting this week of five non-OPEC oil producers. completion of the investigation into the explo sion, but NASA announced Feb. 13 that the teacher-in-space program would proceed and offered Morgan the opportunity to ride on a shuttle. She said that same day in Boise that she was ready to go any time NASA scheduled the flight. "We have the opportunity to teach an entire generation a very important lesson. The Chal lenger's mission was the schoolchildren's mis sion," she said then. "Their whole orientation to space and to life depends on what happens next. They are waiting to see what adults do in situa tions like this one." Casting agents still need extras for 'Amerika' LINCOLN ABC casting agents still are looking for extras for the net work's miniseries "Amerika," even though shooting was scheduled to be gin today at a farm near Elmwood, a Lincoln talent scout said. Jackie Beavers, who is working with ABC on the television miniseries, said agents will be looking for people and calling them throughout the shooting schedule. The most difficult part of casting extras is finding the real "nitty-gritty' people who will reflect the true Ne braska spirit, she said. The people they really would like to see apply are pre cisely the ones who think they wouldn't be wanted, she said. Beavers said applications are avail able at 740 S. 17th St. and at the Nebraska Job Service offices in Lin coln, Beatrice and Nebraska City. She said Nebraskans interested in an extra role need a photo and either an application or a letter with vital statistics, including age, height, weight, coloring, occupation and avail ability. Good availability is crucial to get ting a part as an extra, she said. Extras must be able to come in on short notice and spend a 12-hbur day on the set. Most extras will be paid about $40 a day, she said. ABC also is looking for about 20 peo ple with old, rusted cars to appear in a few scenes, she said. The cars must be in working condition. Car owners should send a photograph of themselves in f. i front' I their csr. to ipp!y-she said.
