WOMEN are not bunnies! WOMEN are not for the
entertainment of men. WOMEN are not marketable

UO STUDENTS say “NO” to Playboy! Women

and the sexual inequality and stereotypes it reinforces.
We must begin NOW by rejecting Playboy. Together

Sunday’s editions of The
Washington Post, a CIA-trained
and -supported counterterrorist
unit in Lebanon acted without
CIA authorization in carrying
out the bombing, which took
place outside the residence of a
militant Shiite Moslem leader
who was believed responsible
for terrorist attacks on U.S.
installations.
Breaking a 24-hour silence on
the report, CIA spokesperson
Patti Volz said, ‘‘The CIA never
conducted any training of
Lebanese security forces related
to the events described” in the
Post article.
The Post story said the CIA
and the Reagan administration
quickly canceled the counterter
rorism operation after the bomb
ing for fear that the alleged U.S.
ties to the group might be
disclosed.
A New York Times account
on Monday of the same incident
said the Lebanese unit had been
"working with” the CIA.
Volz' statement said the CIA
had no prior knowledge of the
"counterterrorism action" and
added that the agency also
“scrupulously observes” its
obligation to keep congres
sional intelligence oversight
committees informed of its
activities.
House Democrats get set
to vote on beneGts Geeze
WASHINGTON (AP) —
House Democratic leaders, vow
ing to leave "hands off Social
Security,” maneuvered Mon
day for an early test vote on a
resolution designed to
demonstrate strong party op
position to the one-year benefits
freeze approved by the Senate
and endorsed by President
Ronald Reagan.
A special meeting of the
253-member House Democratic
Caucus was called for today to
vote on a resolution condemn
ing the Senate-passed 1986
budget — a vote leaders said
would undermine Reagan’s
claim of wide bipartisan sup
port for restraining Social
Security cost-of-living
increases.
A lopsided vote by the caucus
also could head off a possible
move by the House Budget
Committee to incorporate curbs
on Social Security benefits in its
version of the 1986 budget,
some key Democrats suggested.
Democrats on the panel,
meanwhile, met behind closed
doors late Monday to try to com
plete outlines of a budget plan
in advance of the start of formal
committee sessions expected
later this week.
Budget Committee sources,
who spoke only on the condi
tion that they not be identified,
said so far the Democrats have
agreed on a plan that would
reduce the deficit by about $46
billion in 1986 — about $10
billion short of the reduction in
the Senate-passed budget.
The tentative plan calls for an
across-the-board freeze on most
federal programs — including
holding Pentagon spending at
the 1985 spending level — and.
like the Senate proposal, does
not call for new taxes, the
sources said.

Bruce Springsteen may be

the clientele at a blue-collar

‘‘The Boss” played pool and

Springsteen, who was mar
ried to Julianne Phillips in her
hometown early Monday, had
been hiding in her parents’
home in this well-to-do
Portland suburb since Thurs
day, relatives revealed.
It was on Friday that Spring
steen, Phillips’ brothers and
father sneaked out a back door
at the residence, eluding nearby
reporters, photographers and
fans, and drove to the Firestone
Inn, a beer bar and pool hall on
Portland’s Southwest Pacific
