Tigers favored
over Penn State
in sellout game

After three weeks EHed with an over-dose
of blitzing linebackers ( New Baex- -'
ico), an opposing quarterback's legal
troubles ( Illinois) and a 10 a . West
Coast breakfast date ( San Diego
State), the Missouri- Per- m State game
today at Memorial Stadium may seem
darn near normal. Or even boring.
Believe that, and yoa probably be-lieve
you still can buy a ticket for the
1: 30 pan. contest. The game has been
declared a sellout atftnmgft the ex-pected
tomcat of 74,000 wont match
the stadium record of 75,136 set last
year against Texas because fewer gen-eral
admission tickets were printed to
prevent overcrowding.
Ninth- ranke- d Missouri ( 3- 0-) is a 6- p- oict
favorite over l& h- rate- d Perm
State ( 2-- 1) in one of the top games in
the country today.
" This is a good test for us," de-fensive
tackle Randy Jostes said. " I
certamfy wouldn't wast to play Perm
State any earlier in the season.''
Offensive tackle Howard Richards,
however, is anxious to play the Nittaay
" It will be good to face somebody
with a pretty good defensive team for a
change," Richards said. They're con-sistent.
You can count on fo to do
the same thing every time."
The Lions' defense may sound boring
with its consistency, bet Jostes expects.,
a different approach from Perm State's
offense.
JTh5ir offensive line is similar to Ne-braska,"
Jostes said. " It's not like we
haven't seen it before. Their line is
really disciplined. They're really
broad in their battery of plays.
" Our first three games, the defense
could pin it down to three or four plays
the offense would calL Pean State has
nine or 10 pkys. They have trick
blocks end strkight- at- yo- u blocks."
For Perm State, the time is right for
revenge against the Big Eight Confer-ence
after Nebraska defeated the li-ons
21-- 7 in a nationally- televise- d game
at University Park, Pa., test week,
Their feelings probably are a little
hurt from last week," said Missouri
Coach Warren Powers. " Perm State
will be, by far, the best team we've
played all year. Up front they'll proba-bly
be as strong as anyone well play.

Iranian troops
claim victories
in counterattacks From our wire services
BAGHDAD, Iraq Iranian troops
backed by zealous civilians launched
counterattacks Friday, Maiming victo-ries
in the battles for four besieged Ira-nian
cities, but Iraq said its forces had
a " firm hold" on territory under their
control.
Heavy fighting raged around two
central battlefronts in Iran's oil- ri- ch
Khuzistan province on the 12th day of
the Persian Gulf war. The commu-niques
of both sides and as far as
they could be verified by reporters in
the field supported Iran's claim that
its forces were finally counterattack-ing.
Huge columns of smoke spiraled up
from Abadan and Khurramshahr, the
two major Iranian ports on the Shatt- al- Ar- ab
waterway giving Iran and Iraq
their only shipping outlets to the Per-sian
Gulf.
The Iraqi port of Fao, at the juncture
of the waterway and the Persian Gulf,
came under non- sto- p artillery fire
from the Iranian side.
But in its military communique for
the day, Iraq said its forces " continued
to crush the enemy's counterattack,
maintaining a firm hold of the territory
under their control. "
Both sides reported an Iraqi air at-tack
on the Iranian city of Dizful, 60
miles ( 96 kilometers) inside the bor-der.
Baghdad said Iranian warplanes
attacked civilian targets in three Iraqi
provinces.
Iran said 15 people were killed and 64
wounded in the raid on DizfuL Iraq
said it inflicted " heavy losses" on what
it called military and economic targets
there.
Iran claimed to have taken the upper
hand in the ground fighting.
" Now the mercenary enemy realizes
he is trapped in West Iran in bitter
fighting with our brave forces and peo-ple
and sees no escape route," a Teh-ran
communique said. " For this rea-son
four Iraqi Migs vengefully bombed
residential areas in Dizful."
Asserting it had captured all the ter-ritory
it intended to take, Iraq said its
forces were no longer advancing and
its war effort now was concentrated on
preserving its gains.

How sweet it wasn't
-- Swiss couple foiled m attempt
to spread chocolate secrets
BERN, Switzerland ( DPI) Fed-eral
counter- espiona- ge agents have
tracked down a young man and his
girlfriend suspected of trying to sell
Swiss chocolate secrets to the Sovi-et
Union and China, the Justice Min-istry
said Friday. The unnamed
couple will go on trial.
A ministry spokesman said the 20- year-- old
man and his 19- year-- old
fiancee offered to sell the recipes
for 40 different kinds of chocolates.
" They were held under arrest for
three days but are now free pending
legal action on charges of at-tempted
economic espionage on be-half
of foreign powers," the spokes-man
said.
" The whole affair is more funny
than serious, but the law is the
law," the spokesman said.
The couple offered the chocolate
secrets in letters sent in mid- Augu- st
to the Soviet and Chinese embassies
m Bern, the Swiss capital, a
gtefrmff't said .
Similar letters were sent to the
East German and Saudi Arabian
embassies.
Justice ministry officials declined
to reveal bow police who then
alerted the counter- espionag- e serv-ice
learned of the letters.
" We can't give out that kind of in-formation,"
die ministry spokes-man
said.
Switzerland takes economic es-pionage
very seriously and officials
at first were reluctant to give any
details at all about the affair.
They finally disclosed that the
would- b- e chocolate spies worked for
the Suchard candy company, the
girl as an apprentice.
Government, officials said the
man faces prosecution for trying to
sell industrial secrets while the girl
probably will be charged with being
an accomplice.
" The charges will in all likelihood
be less servere than normal be-cause
no information actually
changed hands," one official said
Experts : Neglect has made land use plan useless By Alan WhagBsM
BSssoOTfem staff writer
Just east of U. S. 63 between Inter-state
70 and Route WW is one of those
developments city boosters like to brag
about The $ 1.5 million Boone Clinic,
for example, is just across Keens
Street from Ok $ 5.1 million, 186- be- d
Columbia Regional Hospital. Behind
the hospital is the $ 500,000 Eye Re-search
Foundation and the new MFA
Central Laboratory. Altogether, seven
buildings In the area represent about
$ 10 million worth of construction since
1S70.
There is one small catch: According
to the city's land use plan which,
among other tilings, charts where dif-ferent
kinds of htnVWnE should go in
the city the only Gangs that should
be there are single- famil- y bouses.
The gap between the land use plan
and reality, planning experts say, is
just one of the more obvious examples
of what a decade of neglect and abuse
has done to the city's plans. Bmmgf
tire city has failed to keep the land use
plan up to date, and b? cau? 3 it has in- diatsfiaun-anfly
resorted, Sss xty in ef-fect
has noplan.
Wither a land use plan, members of
the Columbia Planning and Zoning
Commission are frying by the seats of
their pants, experts say, and whether
their decsstons do good or barm is only
Insight
a matter of chance.
Henry Galetschky, a planning spe-cialist
working out of the Urdverity's
Governmental Affairs Program, says
he is amused by Columbia. He grimly
smiles as he traces contradictory poli-cy
statements about land use planning
by city officials in newspaper clippings
he has collected over 10 years.
But when he starts to review the his-tory
of Columbia's planning and zon-ing,
showing what he says is the pro-gressive
collapse of the 12- year-- old
land use plan, little seems funny to
him. Much of what has happened, he
says, goes directly against his beliefs
as a professional planner.
When Galetschky travels through
Missouri to help local governments
with planning and zoning problems, for
example, he tells them the only justifi- catio- a
for zoning is as a tool of plan-ning.
He emphasizes the danger xf a
zoning ccanmissiotrthat either ignores
planning or has none to pay attention
to.
In Columbia, he says, that threat is
being realized. " Because they dent
have a plan, the zoning is of no value,"
he says.
And he tells local governments that
out- of- da- te land use plans are no plans
at all. In Columbia, the plans are so old
" there is no plan."
Floyd Harmston agrees. A Universi-ty
professor of economics speicalizing
in regional development, he does not
go to Columbia's pipnpjng and zoning
meetings because, be says, they make
his stomach churn.
Harmston was a member of the La-ramie,
Wy., planning commission for
10 years before coming to Griumbia.
His five- ye- ar term as chairman, be
says, had two main accomplishments:
The commission drew up the first land
use plan for the city which then had
20,000 residents, and it managed to
strip the rival zoning commission of
most of its power.
These accomplishments, he says,
gave planning a much greater role in
Laramie city government than plan-ning
has in Columbia. " It makes you
snicker to look at somebody on the
commission who says they are doing
planning: You look at what they do and
you wonder if they know what planning
is. " It hasnt been a planning commis-sion;
it has been a zoning commis-sion."
What Harmston calls a tendency to
zone first and ask questions later, if at
all, is demonstrated by what has hap-- '
pened to the land east of VS. 63. Origi-nally

A state agency has given its blessing
to plans for widening West Broadway,
thereby clearing one of the major bar-dies
confronting feeproject..
According to documents released
Friday by Acting City Manager Ray
Beck's office, the Missouri Depart-- .
msnt of Natural Resources has deter-mined
that widening the street be-tween
Garth Avenue and Oinkscales
Road " win have " no adverse effect' on
the historic fabric of Columbia West
Historic District."
The ( Sty Council will take up the
West Broadway project during its 7
City Council to disciigg" project Monday
pan. meeting Monday in the council
chambers of the County- Cit- y Building.
The council is scheduled to hear a re-port
on ixo3ovemest plans for the
-- street after disposing of three public
hearings end a varsy of ordinances.
Mayor Clyde Wilson said Friday he
expects the meeting to be rel& trVely
short, lasting until about 10: 30 p. .
La February, Citizens for the Preser-vation
of West Broadway successfully
brought the project to a halt by gaining
Higihffifry for the area to be placed oa
the National Register of Historic
Places. As a result, the city is required
to meet a variety of federal sod state
standards before making certain types
of capital improvements in the area.
The natural resources department
letter is supported by a second letter
indicating similar apcVovai by the US.
Department of the Interior. Both let-ters
establish additional standards to
be met by the city, inefctiing plans for
removing plants and landscaping the
widened road.
A mamcrandisn from Beck said the
next formal cocH action will involve
right- of- wa- y aquisition beginning with,
a formal appraisal procedure.
Wflscn said Friday he dcesnt expect
the coubcQ to rale on U project scon,
but " I especi that issue ( giving the fi-nal
go ahead for the project) will come
up within the term" of the current
council.
" I would expect it," Wilson said, " as
it was in the last election, to be a cam-paign
issue."
He said be does not expect " any con-crete
will he poured by election time"
next April.
Other business the council is sched-uled
to bear includes:
" Three public hearings on proposed
rezonings. The Planning and Zoning
Commission recommended denying
one of the requests rezoning 3, 5 and
9 Dorado Drive from single family res-idential
to offices.
Setting a hearing to acquire West- win- ds
Park. Fourth Ward Councilman
Jim Goodrich asked for the hearing.
The proposed park is located north and
west of the Stadium and West boule-vards'
intersection.
. Establishing a Mayor's Steering
Committee to help commemorate the
contributions of black Colombians.

Singles don't have to be lonely
anymore. Several groups in Co-lumbia
provide activities and the
chance to meet ether singles.
