British naval fleet
closes on islands
FALKLAND ISLANDS (AP) ~ Sritam s armada closed in on
the Falkland Islands to impose a total war zone early Friday
Argentina girded tor battle, declaring its own war zone
against the British, and the United States found "little basis tor
optimism
Argentine naval sources said the British flotilla was approa
ching at a not excessively stow” speed Thursday, but ' keeping
away from the coast and constantly changing position ”
Anti-aircraft defenses, radar and other electronic warning
posts were reported strengthened around major southern
Argentine cities
An Argentine air force spokesman In Comodoro Rivadavia. a
major supply point for toe Falkland®, said any British plane that
approaches that city or the southern Argentine cities of Rio
Gallegos or Rio Grande will not return to its base
The Argentine mflitary junta announced Thursday that
British ships or aircraft found within 200 miles of toe Argentine
coast or toe Falkland Islands "will be considered hostile and
treated as such.”
The junta's communique said the war zone was declared in
response to Britain's announced 200-miJe air and sea blockade
around the Falklands which takes effect at 8 a.m. Friday in toe
Falklands (7 a.m. EOT) Britain has warned that any ship or plane
that violates toe zone will be liable to attack.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher noted in an emergency
debate in toe House of Commons in London that toe Unitec!
Nations has passed a resolution catting on Argentina to withdraw
its troops from toe Falklands. Invaded April 2.
"If that resolution were to be implemented, there would be
very few problems left in relation to the Falkland Islands, ’ she
said
"There can be no doubt where the intransigence lies in this
matter The key to peace is in the hands of the Argentine
government The responsibility is theirs .”
In Buenos Aires, Acting Foreign Minster Alfredo Saint Jean
was asked in a radio interview if Argentina and Britain had
reached a “point of no return” in the crisis
Saint Jean replied. "At least Argentina has not ” He added
that Argentina is 'more wilting” to seek a solution to the
conflict Our country has shown itself to be more than prudent
and patient, not only over 150 years of negotiation, but especially
during this crisis ”
to Washington, a White House spokesman refused to say
which side tire United States would support if war breaks out. but
said the situation remains very serious There is no movement
and very Httie oasis tor optimism
However, a U S official in Washington disclosed Thursday
that the Reagan administration, frustrated to its efforts to mediate
toe dispute, was preparing a statement that would put the United
States on Bn tarn's side in the crisis The official said he did not
know whether the statement would be made public
Group seeks ease in credit
Oregon Fair Share is going after
Oregon's banks as part of a
statewide job campaign.
Fair Share is "going after the
peopie with power to make things
better, to do what needs to be
done," said member Pat
Raymond at a Springfield press
conference Wednesday.
To fight the Federal Reserve
Board's "tight money" policy.
Fair Share wants Oregon banks
and savings and loans to establish
an "affordable line of credit” at
eight percent below the current
interest rates. This would allow
peopie to buy, remodel, and build
new homes, businesses and small
farms, members said.
Banks have the authority to
lend two to three percent below
the prime interest rate and still
make a profit, members said. Two
local banks have already
expressed their interest in the
“affordable line of credit”
program, member Pam Wolf said.
However, two large banks have
refused to cooperate, members
said. United States National Bank
refused to discuss the issue at all.
Wolf said, and First Interstate
Bank agreed to a May 8 meeting
in Portland but has since can
celled.
“Unless First Interstate and
U S. Bank reconsider their refusal
to meet with Fair Share and the
Federal Reserve Board by May 7,
Fair Share will be forced to file
letters of condemnation with the
federal agency that regulates
those banks," says a Fair Share
handout.
By doing this, members say
they hope to prevent the banks
from gaining new branches. Unit
ed States lending institutions are
required by the Community
Reinvestment Act of 1976 to
make public their investigations of
community credit needs,
members said.
“First Interstate until about a
week or two ago had an applica
tion for a new branch in Eugene.
We suspect that they will wish to
reinitiate that application at some
point. If they continue to ignore
the needs of the people they will
have problems getting that
approval. Basically, if they are
going to stop our growth as a
community, then we will stop
theirs," Wolf said.
Publisher visits academia
After sperxiir»g a week at the
University, publisher David
Juenke is somewhat
"disappointed" that "even
journalism students do not read
newspapers as avidly as we would
like them to do,"
He adds, however, that this
does not indict all journalism
students, because some of them
were knowledgable about current
events in discussions he attended
in classes during the past week
Juenke, who is president of the
Oregon Newspapers Publishers
Association and publisher of four
weekly newspapers, has been
visiting the journalism school to
"bring some reality of the press to
the classroom," according to
Everette Dennis, dean of the
journalism school.
Juenke "hestitates to
recommend" either daily or
weekly newspapers over the other
for starting reporters.
"It students choose to begin
with a weekly paper they will find a
rich, rewarding news experi
ence,” he says. “It is unique in the
diversity of responsibility which
typically includes reporting, pho
tography, headline writing and
layout."
Juenke notes the major differ
ences between working on a daily
and a weekly paper would be the
number of stories written per
week and the amount of respon
sibility even a beginning reporter
has.
He says the most asked ques
tion of the week has been “How
do I get a job?” He recommends
as "much practical experience as
possible.”
“I look for students who have
taken the opportunity to do extra
curricular work,” says Juenke. He
has never hired anyone who had
no practical experience.
Juenke is one of three profes
sionals who will participate in the
Ruhl Symposium. Philip
Neiswanger, editor and publisher
of the Roseburg News-Review,
will be at the University from May
10-13.
Jeff MacNelly, author and artist
of the cartoon strip "Shoe” will be
the Ruhl lecturer on May 25. He is
a two-time Pulitzer prize winner
and a cartoonist for the Chicago
Tribune/New York Daily News
syndicate.
The Ruhl symposium is funded
by an endowment given by Mabel
Ruhl in honor of her husband
Robert, who was the editor and
publisher of the Medford Mail
Tribune. The fellows are chosen
by the journalism school faculty
from candidates nominated from
the ONPA.
