Army helicopters collide, 17 dead
FORT CAMBELL, Ky. — Army
crews worked Wednesday to retrieve
the last eight bodies of 17 soldiers
killed when two helicopters on a
night training mission collided, then
plunged 250 feet to the ground and
caught fire.
The UH-60 Blackhawk
helicopters from Fort Campbell
spewed wreckage for hundreds of
yards and charred the partially
wooded, gently rolling site six miles
from the choppers’ air field.
“One aircraft is located in the
trees. One aircraft is right on the
edge of a clearing,” said Maj. Randy
Schocl, Fort Campbell spokesman.
Four bodies remained in the
wreckage of each helicopter
Wednesday afternoon, said Schocl.
He earlier had said all the bodies
were retrieved.
The Blackhawk, one of the newer
helicopters used by the Army, Air
Force and Marine Corps, has been
grounded four times in three years.
Last summer officials said about 40
In the Faculty Senate story, March
9, some stipulations of a university
plan to buy tenure were incorrect.
Faculty members now 62 to69 years
old only would be eligible this year
for the program. They would receive
payments ranging from 100 percent
to 12.5 percent of their annual salary
based on an age scale.
The largest five-year group of
faculty members are between 45 and
50 years old, said Faculty Senate vice
president Jim McShane. He said the
plan serves the interests of both the
university and participating faculty
members.
In a Daily Nebraskan ASUN
article on Feb. 18 there was some
confusion as to who Paul Hays,
Chairman of the Nebraska Student
Interest Coalition Board oi
Directors, was referring to in a quote.
When Hays said “What can NSIC
do for you? Nothing, absolutely
nothing,” he was referring to the
Government Liaison Committee’s
lobbying efforts, not the AS UN
Senate.
An article about the Nebraska
Motorcyclists Coalition, March 8,
stated the coal ition would not attempt
a repeal of the mandatory helmet law.
A press release from the coalition
caused some confusion about an
attempted repeal. The coalition will
not attempt to repeal or amend the
law during this legislative session, or
by petition on the November ballot.
They will, however, work to elect
senators that will repeal it next year.

people had been killed in crashes of
the helicopter since 1978.
Schoel said the crash occurred on
the western Kentucky-Tcnnessee
border during a “routine night
mission,” and left no survivors.
“Obviously, there’s an element of
risk in everything we do. We train up
to a standard that reduces that risk to
an absolute minimum,” Schoel said.
“Yes it can be, but it’s not
necessarily, more dangerous to fly at
night.”
U.S. to liberalize
sales to China
WASHINGTON — Relations
between the United States and China
brightened Wednesday with a U.S.
decision to liberalize the sale of high
technology to the Chinese and
China’s agreement in principle to
accept Peace Corps volunteers.
The Reagan administration
announced that it lifted a five-month
suspension on the transfer of new
technologies after receiving
assurances from Chinese Foreign
Minister Wu Kuedian that his
country was not sending Silkworm
anti-ship missiles to Iran.
Then, during a question-answer
session at the national Press club after
three days of talks with U.S.
officials, Wu said of the Peace Coips
that “China has adopted a positive
attitude on this matter,” though many
details still need to be resolved.
The agency, established in 1961
by President Kennedy to put a
grassroots and people-lo-pcoplc
stam p on U.S. overseas aid .currently
has programs in 64 countries.
As for how large the program will
be, when it will start and how many
volunteers will go to China, “It’s too
early to tell,” Sinclair said.
After years of cmnity, including
several years of war in Korea, the
United Slates and China normalized
relations in the late 1970s and have
steadily increased trade and defense
ties.

Gore, Dukakis still have much to prove
WASHINGTON — In the next few weeks, A1 Gore needs to prove
what Mike Dukakis demonstrated on Super Tuesday — that he can win
outside his home region, that he’s not just another favorite son.
And now Dukakis has something new to prove — that he can win
primary after primary across the country, become the front-runner and
build the momentum to clinch the Democratic nomination before the
convention opens in August
No one is conceding an inch to the Massachusetts governor, who now
sports a lead in delegates and wins in the mega-states of Florida and
Texas on Tuesday
The calendar should now give Dukakis a little edge, shifting from the
Southern accents of Super Tuesday to some of the nation’s toughest
political battlegrounds—the big industrial stales of Illinois, Michigan,
Wisconsin, New York and Pennsylvania.
Report says Hart ready to quit presidential race
DENVER — Former Sen. Gary Hart, his campaign battered by a
string of weak showings, has put travel plans on hold and scheduled a
news conference, and a broadcast report said he was ready to call it quits
in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
KUSA-TV said Hart told campaign workers at his Denver
headquarters on Wednesday that he would withdraw from the race. He
said he would try to continue to get his message to the country, but will
choose other forums for doing it, the television station said.
i ne repori rouowea a reaerai election commission announcement
Wednesday that Hart had not received enough support to continue to be
eligible for federal campaign funds.
FEC spokesman Fred Eiland said the commission would notify the
Hart campaign that it must file a financial report and said that as of
March 24, Hart no longer will be eligible for matching federal campaign ,
funds.
Eiland said the federal matching funds could be reinstated if Hart
were to receive at least 20 percent of the vote in a future primary. On
Super Tuesday, Hart’s best showing was winning 5 percent of the vote
in Texas.
Soldiers kill 3 in ‘Martyrs Day9 violence
JERUSALEM—Soldiers shot three Arabs dead and wounded 13 in
the occupied lands Wednesday, which the PLO named “Martyrs Day”
for the scores of Palestinians killed by Israeli bullets or beatings, army !
and Arab reports said.
Arabs paralyzed commerce in the West Bank and Gaza Strip with a
general strike. Protesters pelted soldiers with rocks, bottles and
firebombs. The outlawed Palestinian flag flew in dozens of locations.
Israel’s divided coalition government refused to vote on whether to
endorse a U.S. peace plan designed to end the violence that began Dec.
8 in the territories Israel captured from Jordan and Egypt in the 1967.
“Many missed opportunities may be forgiven but a missed peace is
unforgivable,” Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said in Parliament after
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, his conservative rival, headed off a
vote in the 10-member inner Cabinet.
