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.

His cousin Jeff Bronson, 23,
added: "There's too many rules this
year. 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

Reaqao takes Contra plea to public
WASHINGTON President Reagan,
seeking public pressure on Congress to
approve $100 million aid for "virtually
defenseless" Nicaraguan rebels, de
clared Sunday evening that the funds
are needed to "deny the Soviet Union a
beachhead in North America."
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.

of the Organization of Petroleum Ex
porting Countries and Venezuela's oil
minister, said participants at the Sun

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.
Foreign Minister Pierre Aubert, a
vocal supporter cf the proposal, said
the government was disappointed
that the measure foiled but said it

cratic response to Reagan, agreed with
much of the president's view of the
Sandinista government in Nicaragua,
but said it was time for negotiation, not
military buildup. 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.

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.
