Right criticism,

NEW YORK " Forgetting our
own frailties, we act as if having a
vision was sufficient, that our dream
would painlessly become reality."
This is the reflection of two leaders
of the revolt of the lS60s against
traditional education and . the public
' school system. Joel Denker and
Steve Bbaerman were among the
radical reformers who founded
" free" or alternative schools and
dreamed of liberating new
generations of children to learn
without subservience to the system
any system. -
Together, they wrote " No Par-ticular
Place to Go: The Making of a --
Free High School" published by
Simon & Schuster in 1972. Last
month, the book was republished by

more impoftant than the book itself.

Budget saves
M. U. programs
from more cuts
By Peggy Slasman
Missourian staff writer
The University general operating
budget, which will be presented
Friday to the Board of Curators,
imposes no further program
reductions and provides for
Columbia campus salary increases
averaging 8.5 percent for faculty,
administrators and professional staff
and 9.8 percent for support staff.
The budget also allows each of the
four campuses to receive a 16 percent
increase for library acquisitions and
an 8 percent increase for expense and
equipment
The only program reallocations on
the Columbia campus are the $ 1.8
million approved last December to
fund the mid- ye- ar salary increases.
Some of the money was collected
from departments in the 1981- 8- 2
school year, while other departments
will lose funds from the 1982- 8- 3
budget. The additional $ 500,000
needed will come from ad-ministrative
areas.
The 1982- 8- 3 budgets from all four
campuses, as well as the system's
central administration budget, will
be presented to the nine- memb- er
board at its monthly meeting, which
begins today at the Kansas City
campus.
Faculty and administrative salary
increases, recommended by the
system's central administration,
differ slightly for the four campuses,
with 8.7 percent increases proposed
for the Kansas City and St. Louis
campuses and an 8.3 percent in-crease
proposed for the Rolla
campus. A 9 percent salary increase
is proposed for central ad-ministration.
The 1382- 8- 3 proposed University
system budget is about $ 275 million,
which includes $ 170 million in state
appropriations and $ 105 million from
other sources. Last year the system
received about $ 250 million $ 153
million from state funds and $ 97
million from other sources
The budget calls for the Columbia
campus to receive $ 80 million of the
state appropriations and $ 47 million
in non- sta- te funds, which will provide
about $ 127 million for the 1982- 8- 3
fiscal year. In 1981- 8- 2 the Columbia
campus received $ 115 million $ 72
million from state appropriations
and $ 43 million from non- sta- te
sources.
Included m the Columbia campus
budget is an initial allocation of
$ 445,000 for research incentive and
leave programs. In previous years,
no specific funding for leaves and
research was available. This year
the adrninistration made it a line
item to promote faculty development
and research, said Duane Stuckey,
University director of institutional
research and planning. He said it was
an important fund because " we need
to generate new research projects."
Kansas City is the hardest hit of the
four campuses. Faced with the chore
of cutting about $ 2 million from his
budget, UMKC Chancellor George
Russell presented to University
President James Olson recom-mendations
that would eliminate 93
positions 12 faculty members as
well as administrative support,
secretarial and plant operation
positions.
His recommendations include
cutting $ 850,000 in academic affairs,
$ 825,000 in administrative affairs,
$ 125,000 in student affairs and $ 25,000
in development- -
PLO pushes to talk with the U. S.
United Press International
Israel ' said its Christian alhes captured a
commanding guerrilla outpost at a college
annex in south Beirut Wednesday and the badly
outgunned PLO appealed to Washington for
" face to face" talks to end Israel's 11- d- ay in-vasion
before a bloodbath engulfs the capital.
Saudi Arabia warned it may take " the
necessary measures,'.' including a possible oil
embargo if President Reagan fails to force
Israel out of Lebanon.
Egyptian: Foreign Minister KamaL Hassan
Ah met with Reagan for 45 minutes andwarned
" risks of a larger conflict loom, over the
horizon." j
Reagan, who meets Monday with, Israeli
Prime Minister Menachem Begin, promised to
" employ every effort" to form a " lasting and
enduring" cease- fir- e.
But Israel said its 25,000 troops willremain in
Lebanon until a cease- fir- e guarantees its
demands a 25- mi- le ( 40- kilomet- er) security
belt free of guerrillas on Israel's northern
border, total withdrawal of PLO. and Syrian
forces and creation of a strong central
Lebanesegovernment .
Israeli Army Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Rafael
Eitan, on a frontline tour of Beirut, said the,
invasion crushed the PLO. In Sidon alone,
Israel captured hundreds of tons of weapons in
30 warehouses. One contained 60 tons ( 54
metric tons) of long- rang- e Katyusha rockets,
Sagger anti- tan- k rockets, grenades, am--"
monition, Kalachnikov rifles and artillery
shells.
The State Department said it " was prepared
to talk to the PLO" only if the PLO recognizes
Israel's right to exist a UJ. policy for three
administrations.
State- ra- n Beirut Radio and government
sources said Israeli troops, backed by tanks
and artillery, stormed the guerrilla stronghold
at the Lebanese University School of Sciences
overlooking the airport, five miles ( 8
kilometers) south of Beirut.
But an Israeli military spokesman in Tel
Aviv denied Israeli troops were involved in any
combat Wednesday. He said Israeli- backe- d
Christian Phalangists and the PLO battled at
the university.
The PLO news agency WAFA denied losing
the outpost and claimed guerrillas killed 14
Israelis in battles amid orange groves in the
occupied costal cities of SidonandTyre.
The university annex with its sweeping
hilltop vistas affords Christian Phalangist
troops the chance to lay siege to 6,000 guerrillas
trapped in west Beirut and also attack nearby
leftist enclaves and guerrilla refugee camps.
PLO chief Yasser Arafat inspected military
posts during toe day and later met with Prune
Minister Shafik Wazzan to discuss diplomatic
efforts to end the combat.
Palestinian guerrillas in the capital manned
last- ditc- h mobile strongholds at roads in south
and west Beirut, and dug in with artillery
around a Christian cemetery.
Arab analysts feared total collapse of a six--
day truce between Israel and Syria if the the
Israelis pushed further.
Eitan said Israel would let the 1,000 Syrians
m Beirut leave with their personal weapons,
but Damascus rejected a similar plea Tuesday
to pull back to the Bekaa Valley where the
bulk of Syria's 40,000 peace- keepi- ng forces have
been stationed since the end of the 1976
Lebanese civil war.
Hani al Hassan, Arafat's chief adviser,
declared the history of the PLO's 18- ye- ar
revolution will be decided this week, and urged
U. S. leaders to enter direct talks to avert
Beirut's destruction.
" The Americans must practice a new policy
toward the Palestinians and talk with us face to
face," he said.
" To speak is a step. If the Americans make a
step to us, everything can be discussed," al
Hassan added.
" Unless you tell me what you want and I tell
you what I want, how can we ever settle
anything?"
Argentine minister offers resignation
United Press frtenational
The architect of Argentina's in-vasion
of J the Falkland Islands,
Foreign Minister Nicanor . Costa
Mendez, submitted his resignation
Wednesday in the aftermath,, of the
Argentine- - defeat that the military
command blamed on U. S. support for --
Britain.
President -- Leopoldo Gaitieri
reportedly turned i down the
resignation.' ..
In a" communique Wednesday
explaining, the reasons for Britain's
'' partial truarzph" in. the Falklands
war, the Argentine military com- -
mand charged that U. S. and
European support for Britain played
a key role intoe defeat of its forces- -
But the command, saying its troops
were outnumbered and its equipment
outclassed, said the cease- fir- e signed
Monday only ended the battle for the
islands' capital of Stanley and h
- eluded only forces stationed on the
islands.
In London, British officials warned
mat " hundreds" of the 15,000 war- wear- y
Argentine prisoners on the
islands could die from exposure,
starvation and disease because there
is not enough shelter to protect them
from the bitter cold.
Prime Minister Margaret That-cher
said she would hold some of the
prisoners, including officers, until
the Argentine junta confirmed that
all hostilities had. ended on the
reclaimed British territory in the
South Atlantic
But Gaitieri, in a nationwide ad-dress
Tuesday evening preceded by
massive anti- governm- ent riots by a
crowd of 10,000 people, made no
mention of defeat.
Gaitieri, commander of the
Argentine army, warned Britain and
any internal " traitors" that
Argentina would keep waging its
battle for the islands.
At no tune did he mention the
surrender document Argentine Gen.
Mario Menendez and British field
commander Gen. Jeremy Moore
signed Monday in the islands' capital
of Stanley.
British officials released a copy of
the document, which showed
Menendez had crossed out the word
" unconditional" before surrender.
The agreement called on the
Argentines to turn over all weapons
and ammunition and assemble at
points named by British com-manders.
Costa Mendez, who Tuesday
blamed the Argentine defeat on the
supenor weaponry and intelligence
capacities of Britain and the United
States, turned in his resignation
during a four- ho- ur meeting of the
junta Wednesday morning, govern-mentsources
said..
Military sources said the junta was
angered by Costa Mendez use of the
word " surrender" Tuesday when
talking of the Argentine defeat.
Government sources said Costa
Mendez began planning Argentina's
invasion of the Falklands as early as
last year, after Argentine officials
became impatient with status
negotiations with Britain that had
dragged on for over 16 years.
Stephens halfway to $ 12 million
ByKarenM. Brown
Missourian staff writer
Stephens College has reached the
halfway mark in its four- ye- ar fund- raisi- ng
drive and may surpass its $ 12
million goal, college officials said.
Wednesday.,
Next week the college will begin
the second, more intensive phase of
its campaign. Officials hope that
phase will " involve most of Stephens'
40,000 alumnae throughout the
country.
The fundaising drive,' started in
June 1383, is coordinated by a group
of " Task Force- 150- " volunteers The
goalis to raise $ 12million by the time
the college's 150th anniversary
celebrations conclude in 1384. The
money is to be used for a variety of
projects," including a new $ 1.2 million
playhouse, which will be built in the
fan.
Exactly two years into the drive,
the college has raised nearly $ 3
million and. is on schedule, said
Beverly Holsman, coordinator of the
anniversary fund. The bard fund- raisi- ng
work begins June 24,
however, when Mrs. Holsman goesto
Houston to start a pilot fund- iraisi- ng
project that may be repeated in 18
U& cities including Columbia
where Stephens has a significant
numberof alumnae.
The Houston project, Mrs.
Holsman said, is " like atrial balloon.
We're going to enlist volunteer
t
workers ana instruct them in
solicitation of the alumns. The goal in
each city is to personally call on
every known Stephens person in that
area. That's an ambitious goal."
Without being contacted per-sonally
Stephens alumnae last year
gave $ 535,000 in unrestricted gifts to
the college This year, with
unrestricted gifts and anniversary
fund contributions combined, the
college hopes to collect at least
$ 800,000.
Mrs. Holsman believes that the $ 12
million goal can be reached and even
surpassed.
" When the goal was set we wanted
to have an achievable goal, and
certainly the underlying philosophy
in any effort of this magnitude is to
surpass that goal," she said. " I
would have every reason to believe
that knowing the commitment of
Stephens people, that we may well
surpass that goal."
The specific objectives of the
anniversary fund are to raise $ 3
million for each of several areas. The
areas are increased support and
endowment of instruction and
scholarships, priority building
replacement and renovations and
increased unrestricted gifts for
general college support.
Gifts made to date nave been large
and have come from curators and
long- tim- e friends of the college, Mrs.
Holsman said.
