statf 4 i - :: HITT & LOVaf 7. COLUMBIA, V,. 65- - 1 73rd Year Mo. 295 Good Morning! It's Saturday AugiiHt 29, 1981 2 Sections '! 1 lii 23 mm Resewed Puppy gets new lease on life from Samaritan on Providence By Paul Keep Mlssourian staff writer A dog may be man's best friend, but you couldn't have convinced a puppy that strayed onto Providence Road Thursday that the feeling Is mutual That is, until the dog saw the brighter side of human nature when it was rescued by Cathi Coffey, a Hickman High School senior. Ms. Coffey, 2101 Woodlea Drive, was driving home after school when she saw the puppy get hit by one car and then " three or four other cars" in quick succession. The puppy " kept on flipping back and forth," she said " I was mad and crying" Ms. Coffey, who works as a nurs-ing attendant at Boone County Hos-pital and hopes to begin pre- me- d studies at the University next year, did what came naturally. She stopped her car in the middle of traffic to help the dog. " Other drivers were mad at me for stopping traffic, but I couldn't just go by and do nothing," she said " If. she had just laid there, she would have died" Ms. Coffey grabbed a stethoscope she carries in her car, picked up the puppy and placed it on the hood of her car. She listened for a heartbeat Hearing none, she calmly per-formed a heart massage on the bat-tered puppy and its heart began beating. " In my Health Occupations class, I had learned how to do a heart massage for a baby, so I did the same thing and it worked," she said. She drove the puppy to the Univer-sity's Small Animal Clinic for emer-gency care. " The puppy was bleed-ing all over my clothes, but I didn't even notice," she said. Dr. Kay Schwink, an intern at the dime, said the puppy was in shock when it arrived. " She looked really bad. I was not optimistic that we could save her." Ms Coffey said, " The doctor said there was probably internal bleeding and the puppy's chances weren't good." The puppy was wisked into the in-- tensive care unit and immediately treated for shock The dog responded to treatment and doctors then began working on her injuries When Ms Coffey returned to the dime Friday to pick up the puppy, the only outward sign of the accident was a cast- lik- e bandage on her left front leg Dr. Schwink said there may be damage to the puppy's " growth plate" in the leg, which could result in the leg being shorter than the oth-ers. To determine the extent of the damage, X- ra- ys of the puppy's leg will be taken in two weeks The puppy's medical care cost Ms Coffey more than $ 50 Another $ 300 would be needed for multiple opera-tions on the leg, it they are required. Ms Coffey, whose family already has two dogs, named the puppy " Preppy," and said she does not know who owns it She would like the owner to claim it by calling 443- 595- 5 Ms Coffey is still upset by the cal-lous reaction of other motorists after the accident " I can't believe people can go on as if nothing was wrong," she said. " Dogs have feelings, too."

They have no stockpiles of bombs or mis-siles, no nudear arsenals at their disposal No one at the base debates the best strate-gies for moving masses of heavily armed men and equipment across distant battle-fields The weapons they favor are electron shields, lasers and computer manipulation of the magnetic field of the earth and how they can be used to cripple the enemy. The fantasies of Star Wars have been made real inside a structure that looks as harmless as a college classroom building The stark sign out front reads simply " Head-quarters, Electronic Security Command." Once inside, past the barbed wire and guard towers, past the security checks, a vis-itor comes face- to- fa- ce with an obsession for security. Intense young guards, some armed with M- 16- s, politely pass a visitor through the dimly Ut hallways, their eyes riveted to a badge on the chest of the visitor Known as the " red badge," it reads, " Es-cort required " An officer from the public af-fairs office smiles " I'm the escort," he says " You wouldn't get too far without me." The ESC grew out of the Air Force intelli-gence operations and became a separate command in 1979 More than 12,000 electron-ic warfare specialists are spread worldwide, from Germany to Japan, engaging in esoter-ic battle with the enemy. And the enemy, they say, is the Soviet Union. The mission of the command is based on the dependence in the 20th century on space- ag- e communications technology Modem military commanders are only as effective as their ability to send and receive com-mands whether a radio message to troops in the field or the electronically triggered message to unleash tactical aircraft or long- rang- e missiles The role of ESC, simply put, is to develop methods to jam, confuse, disrupt or destroy the communications of the enemy while en-suring the enemy cannot do the same to you. Through a myriad of space- ag- e hardware, the electronic warriors of ESC gather and analyze intelligence about enemy activities, inform commanders in the field and develop means to confuse enemy radar, jam radio frequences and, if need be, destroy all or part of the communications network of the enemy. " What we're involved in is sort of a cat- and- mo- use game," said Maj Gen Doyle Larson, ESC commander " It's like chess but at a three- dimensio- nal level While we're a very high- technologi- cal outfit, we also use the art of a poker bluff and a little sleight of ( See ELECTRONIC, Page 8A) Civic leader Harold Cox dead at 73 By Gordon Lee Missourian Btaff writer Longtime Columbia civic and busi-ness leader Harold Cox died early Thursday at Columbia Regional Hos-pital. He was 73. Mr. Cox, vice president of Mid- Misso- uri Savings and Loan Associa-tion, had lived in Columbia for more than 50 years In 1979, Mr Cox ran for mayor against Clyde Wilson. He was defeat-ed 52- 4- 8 percent. Dr. Glenn McElroy, his physician and longtime friend, said Mr. Cox died of complications following inju-ries received in a traffic accident last week. " He was a tremendously active in-dividual," McElroy said " He was known by many and liked by many." McElroy said Mr. Cox was a tire-less worker on many civic endeav-ors, often working behind the scene. " He didn't always take the praise," McElroy said. Born near Centralia on Sept 11, 1907, Mr. Cox came to Columbia in 1927 to enroll in the University In-stead, he started working for the First Bank of Commerce, where he stayed for more than 45 years, rising from bookkeeper to vice president In 1974, be moved to the Mid- Missou- ri Savings and T oan Association.

Tenth St The family will receive vis-itors from 7-- 9 p m Sunday. The fu-neral, to be conducted by the Rev. Sam Langley, will be at 1 30 p m. Monday at the funeral home. Burial will be at Columbia Cemetery Doctors plan to go to court in wage dispute By Adriana Reyneri Missourian staff writer Resident physicians at the Univer-sity Hospital voted Fnday to take their wage dispute with the Universi-ty to court The House Staff Organization, which represents 280 residents at the hospital, Monday will seek a Boone County Circuit Court injunction forc-ing the University to give residents a previously scheduled 13 6 percent pay raise The raises were canceled after Gov Christopher Bond cut the Uni-versity's budget by 10 percent, prompting University Chancellor Barbara Uehhng to freeze salaries The residents' organization contends that, under an agreement signed June 17, the University still must provide the raises Dr Uehhng said Friday that while the organization has the nght to take the action, the University is not con-tractually bound to grant the raises Dr Greg A Love, president of the residents' organization, said, ' The injunction seeks that the University be required to comply with the con-tract which it freely entered into Hopefully it will bring swift reme-dy " Stephen Faber, counsel for the or-ganization, recommended that the residents take court action " Our counsel is very confident about the case," Love said At Fnday's meeting, Love de- senb- ed his unsuccessful efforts to obtain financial help for some hard-- ( See RESIDENTS, Page 8A) Lofoeck reappointed , as med school dean By Suzanne DeWitt Missounan staff writer University Provost Ronald Bunn announced Friday afternoon the re-appointment of Charles C Lobeck as dean of the School of Medicine. Lobeck is one of five deans who have undergone special evaluations begun by Bunn last year as a condi-tion for reappointment The evalua-tion system applies only to those deans who have served five or more years In a letter sent Fnday to the Medi-cal School faculty, Bunn said, " As a result of the evaluation of Dean Lo-beck I have concluded that tt would be very much in the interest of the school that he be continued as dean. Chancellor Uehling has agreed with my condusion, and I am pleased to announce that Lobeck has agreed to continue. I look forward to working with Dean Lobeck and all of you in support of our common goal of main-taining and strengthening a quality School of Medicine " Lobeck, who has held the post since 1974, said he sees a bnght fu ture for the school in spite of a tight budget " I look forward to working with the faculty of a very good school to make it even better, ' he said I have plans that will become more visible as time goes on I bdieve de-spite the current budget situation of the state the school can build upon its strengths " Lawrence M Lampton, assistant professor of pulmonary medicine, said of Bunn's announcement that " in a time of cnas, such as the pre-sent case with the budget cuts, it's good to have some stability in our leadership " Late last year the process of dean evaluations began with reviews of William Kimel of the College of En- gineen- ng and Bob Woods of the Col-lege of Education Both were reap-pointed following their evaluations Kenneth Weide of the College of Vetennanan Medicine and Armon Yanders of the College of Arts and Science both resigned following the completion of their reviews by the provost's office Haig berates Salvadoran rebels New York Times WASHINGTON Secretary of State Alexander Haig Fnday accus-ed the rebels in El Salvador of eng-aging in " straight terrorism" against the civilian population, and he again accused Cuba and the Sovi-et Union of playing major roles in fo-menting the dvil war in that coun-try. His harsh words about the leftist parties came at a news conference at the State Department, shortly be-fore the French and Mexican gov-ernments issued a statement recog- nizin- g the rebels as a " representative political force" m El Salvador. A senior State Department official said later that the joint French- Mexica- n letter to the U N. Secunty Coun-cil was " unhelpful" to U S efforts to build support for the Salvadoran government of Jose Napoleon Duarte and to press the leftist forces to agree to elections under the gov-ernment's auspices But the official said the statement was not " a complete disaster" be-cause it fell short of some earlier Mexican efforts to establish that El Salvador was in a state of " belliger-ency" and that the rebels should have equal political standing with the government Fnday night, the State Depart-ment said it agreed with a number of points in the French- Mexica- n statement. The department praised the document for expressing concern for the Salvadoran people, for saying that the Salvadorans must solve their own crisis, and for emphasiz-ing the need for free dections. But the department said it dis-agreed with the countnes' political recognition of the two leftist parties that, it said, " represent only a por-tion of a far broader political spec-trum in El Salvador " A key question in Washington was whether the French and Mexicans would seek additonal signatones to the document. Such an effort, it was felt, could disrupt United States ef-forts, possibly leading to a political confrontation with those countries. The Mexican- Frenc- h statement has forcefully publicized, officials said, the differences between Wash-ington and some of its closest fnends over El Salvador The Reagan ad-ministration has dedared that the main leftist organizations should play a role in the El Salvadoran po-litical scene but only by agreeing to elections The Mexicans and French, however, believe there should be ne-gotiations among the various fac-tions preceding any elections In his news conference, Haig said that the guerrilla forces in El Salva-dor had resorted to " a change in tac-tics " " We've witnessed the guerrilla movement resort to straight terror-ism, the kind of activity that reflects their failure and frustration in major force operations," he said Gasification project advances By Michelle H1H Misaourian staff writer MOBERLY An anonymous U S energy company may have ended funding problems blocking Consum-er Energy Corp ' s proposed coal gas-ification plant by agreeing to finance a feasibility study of the project. That announcement came at a Fri-day evening meeting called by Con-sumer Energy officers Jack Daily of Lutz, Daily & Brain, consulting engineers for the project, said construction of the gasification plant would follow if no obstacles emerge during the study Construc-tion would be financed by the energy company, he said. The energy company will report its findings to Consumer Energy, a not- for- pro- fit organization, by year's end Consumer Energy pursued the project in 1973 and has received sup-port from Associated Electric Coop-erative and Lutz Daily & Brain Daily said it is common corporate practice for a company to remain anonymous at this point in negotia tions, adding that he was " surprised they disclosed the information they did" Consumer Energy had sought fed-eral funds to build the plant, but the Reagan administration's decision to cut back on synthetic fud devel-opment funding stalled budding plans John Van Cleve, Moberly Cham-ber of Commerce president, said building the plant " could be as big for Moberly as the GM plant was for Wentzville, Missouri " In town today 1: 45 p. m.
