State alleges guns smuggled STUTTGART, West Germany — West Germany’s top pro secutor charged Thursday the pistols used in what the govern ment claims were the prison suicides of two terrorists last October had been smuggled to the inmates by their lawyer. Chief Federal Prosecutor Kurt Rebmann told an investigat ing committee that lawyer Arndt Mueller used a secret compart ment in his briefcase to smuggle the weapons into the maximum security Stammheim prison in the spring of 1977. Sen. Brooke addresses BYU PROVO, Utah — Sen. Edward Brooke, R-Mass., said Thursday he wouldn’t insist on change in Mormon practices, but Mormons and blacks should work to break down obstacles to understanding each other. The nation’s only black senator told more than 6,000 stu dents at church-owned Brigham Young University there are similarities between Mormon and black culture. Brooke, who earlier met with Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Pres. Spencer Kimball, did not specifically men tion the church’s ban of blacks from priesthood offices held by all other faithful male members over 11 years old. Carter charges arms dealings WASHINGTON (AP) — Pres. Carter accused the Soviet Union on Thursday of sending “some men” as well as large shipments of arms to Ethiopia in its clash with Somalia. The president did not say whether the Russians in Ethiopia were technicians, military advis ers or troops. He reaffirmed, at the same time, that Cubans were also involved in the war over the Oga den region. ‘‘We have taken a position con cerning Africa that we would use our influence to bring about peace without shipping arms to the dis puting parties and without inject ing ourselves into disputes that can be best resolved by Africans," Carter said. “The Soviets have done just the opposite,” he said and urged the Russians to join with the United States in supporting immediate negotiations to end the dispute. Carter also predicted that Con gress will approve a national energy program early in this com ing session “of which we can be proud." At a nationally televised news conference, the president said part of the program will be a com promise on natural gas prices. Carter has threatened in the past to impose oil import fees if Congress can’t agree on a bill. He toid reporters he hopes he does not have to take any such execu tive action. Congress returns to work next week. The president said foreign leaders expressed concern during his recent overseas trip about whether the United States has "the resolve to deal squarely with our energy problems.” "As a nation increasing our de mands for foreign oil, we may have conservation forced on us by unexpected increases in oil prices in the future,” Carter said. Residency rules confusing For students who think they may be eligible for resident status or those who think they’ve been turned down unfairly, the Office of Student Advocacy (OSA) may be able to help. The beginning of a term “is a time when many people are thinking about residency," says Don Chalmers from the OSA. “Many returning students are now eligible and need to be evaluated.” Chalmers suggests students drop by the OSA office to fill out a “residency evaluation game" before they approach the admissions office. "It’s not a con clusive” evaluation of whether the student will ac quire residency or not, but it’s fairly accurate deter minant and a “good way to get the ball rolling," says Chalmers. Some misunderstanding regarding the "six month" residency rule has arisen, Chalmers says. To become a resident, students “must be emancipated from their parents, be domiciled in Oregon and live in the state for either six or 12 months. “If you enroll in an institution of higher education, the 12-month rule applies,” explains Chalmers. Peo ple who have not attended an Oregon institution come under the six-month rule. “Apparently some University officials are requir ing 12-month emancipation from parents, even if the person hasn’t (seen going to school,” says Chalmers t he residency regulations do not make this stipula tion. If a student’s affidavit of residency is denied by the admissions office, he or she should consult with the OSA. After denial, the student has two courses of action. The first appeal is to the Inter-Institution Com mittee on Residency. The final appeal goes to the Permanent Administrative Review Committee. The OSA can help students with appeals to either com mittee. Students wishing to appeal to the Permanent Committee must supply a written request to the ad missions office. Chalmers says the committee is tentatively scheduled to meet on Jan. 30 and re quests should be turned in as soon as possible.
