In announcing its decision, the Assemblies of God elders disre garded a more lenient three-month suspension recommended by the church in Louisiana. The national church included provisions for two years of rehabilitation and counseling to begin when Swaggart has agreed to rehabilitation in writing. Louisiana district officials refused comment, as did the Jimmy Swaggart worldwide Ministries in Baton Rouge, La. But a spokesman said Swaggart’s ministry would have a statement Wednesday. “It is hoped that Jimmy Swaggart will agree to this program of rehabili tation and that such program will be redemptive and restorative in the life and ministry of our brother,” the Rev. G. Raymond Carlson, the church’s general superintendent, said in a statement. People approved by the church would supervise the rehabilitation, Carlson said. He provided no other details. “If he does not accept, then the Executive Presbytery would take action to dismiss him,” Carlson said at a news conference. Under the terms of rehabilitation, Swaggart would be barred from his pulpit for at least a year and would have to stop distributing videotaped services that have enabled him to build a worldwide congregation. Dukakis, Bush win big; Dole withdraws HARTFORD, Conn. — Michael Dukakis defeated Jesse Jackson in the Connecticut presidential primary Tuesday night and bid for a victory that would reassure Democratic lead ers about his troubled candidacy. Dukakis regained a narrow advantage in the duel for national convention delegates. George Bush was the runaway Republican winner and surefire nominee as well following Bob Dole’s withdrawal earlier in the day. With 79 percent of the precincts reporting, Massachusetts Gov. Dukakis had 59 percent of the vote from his New bnglanci ncignoors, ending a recent series of poor per formances. Jackson, landslide winner last weekend in Michigan and the man with momentum in the race, had 28 percent of the vote. Sen. Albert Gore lagged with 8 percent and Sen. Paul Simon, who ignored the state, was receiving slightly more than 1 percent. Dukakis’ rivals conceded in ad vance that the governor would claim a regional victory in advance. Cam paign hostilities already were under way in Wisconsin, which votes next Tuesday, and "New York, which fol I ASUN UN-L STUDENT GOVERNMENT CAMPUS WIDE VACANCIES APPOINTMENTS BOARD: Review all applications and make ap pointments for student representation to campus wide vacancies.

The vice president’s lone remaining chal lenger, former TV evangelist Pat Robertson, had 3 percent and said he didn’t dispute Bush’s lock on the nomination.
