UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. secretary
general said Wednesday he is sending a team to
Iran and Iraq to work out details of a cease-fire
and will announce a starting date soon. Iraq
proposed direct talks between the belligerents.
Javier Perez de Cuellar, the secretary-general,
called the cease-fire date "D-Day.” lie said he
prefers direct negotiations between the parties,
but Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Ja'afar
Mahallati declared: "No, No."
Perez de Cuellar said a team of 10-12 military
officers from U.N. Middle East operations
would work out cease-fire details with officials
in Baghdad and Tehran and return in no more
than a week. He did not announce their
itinerary.
After that, the secretary-general said, he will
announce a starting date “promptly" and set
dates for troop withdraw!, prisoner exchange,
peace negotiations and the investigation of
responsibility for the war
When the cease-fire takes effect, Perez de
Cuellar said, he will send up to 250 military
observers into the area to verify and supervise
the truce and withdrawal of military forces.

Lybian sympathizers arrested
WASHINGTON (AP) — FBI agents Wednes
day arrested eight men linked to pro-Libyan ac
tivities in the United States.
U.S. Attorney Henry Hudson said one of
those arrested, Mouse Ilawanda, a 42-year-old
travel agency owner, was involved in a poten
tial assassination plot against a "high govern
ment official of the United States. Hudson did
not identify the official.
Six of the defendants, members of the
Lybian-sponsored People's Committee for Ly
bian Students, appeared with their hands and
feet bound by chains before a U.S. magistrate in
nearby Alexandria, Va. They were charged
with illegally diverting funds to support the
regime of Col. Moamtnar Gadhafi.
The other defendant was described as an
agent for Hawanda’s Manara Travel Agency.
Hudson said defendant Saleh Mohomed
Guima Al-Rajhi. 32, a citizen of Morocco, had
given the Libyan government a list of names of
people in the federal government who may
have been involved in the 1986 U.S. bombing
of Libya. The prosecutor said this could have
been done for the purpose of retaliation by
Libya.
"This is a rare case, a sensitive case involv
ing national security," Hudson told the
magistrate. He said the prosecution had obtain
ed much of the information leading to the ar
rests from informants whose lives were in
danger.

Oregon tourism flourishing
EUGENE (AP) — State officials say this sum
mer could be the best tourist season Oregon has
ever had.
The eight welcome centers located at
Oregon’s borders are greeting a record number
of visitors to the state, with 77,000 people in
June alone, according to Debby Kennedy, state
tourism director.
Reservations at motels, resorts and cam
pgrounds all are up substantially from last year,
she said.
‘‘We were a little ahead in June and we’re 10
percent ahead of attendance in July," added
ilod Johnson, manager of the Sea Lion Caves
north of Florence, one of the state’s top tourist
attractions. ’’It looks good for the rest of the
summer.”
One of Oregon’s growing tourist attractions
art; its vineyards and wineries.
"Our visitors are up 20 to 25 percent this
year.” says Sue Aufort, marketing director for
Hinman Vineyards west of Eugene. "We are
getting folks from California who come up just
to check out Oregon pinot noirs and
chardonnays."
Room taxes collected by hotels and motels in
Eugene, Springfield, Florence and rural Lane
County were up 17 percent for the fiscal-year
period through June 2, said Linda Weston, ex
ecutive director of the Eugene-Springfield Con
vention & Visitors Bureau.

Theater
Continued from P.ige 8
changes the relationship bet
ween Frank and Charley, his
high school classmate and
musical collaborator, and Mary,
an aspiring writer who falls in
love with Frank.
As the play's action moves
back in time, the audience
learns how Frank came to be as
he is at the beginning of the
play: unhappily married to his
second wife and estranged from
his old friends.
The scenes are divided by
cast members singing differing
versions of the same theme, a
device Sondheim uses to tie all
the action together through
melody. The result of this is a
redundancy that quickly
becomes tiresome. Some of the
songs within the acts also are
too lengthy.
There are some bright
moments. Mary Russell, who
plays Frank's first wife Beth,
displays her considerable talent
in the song "Not a Day Goes
By," a romantic ballad that fills
every corner of the theater with
sound. Another upbeat number
is Charley's "Franklin Shepard,
Inc.,'' a song that shows
Hadley’s comic and vocal
abilities.
In fact, it is Hadley’s perfor
mance as Charley that carries
the show. His quick timing and
ability to slip from broad
humour to reflection make his
character a believable one.
Goodman's energy is almost
palpable but his portrayal of
Frank Shepard comes across as
strained, and an energy that
should be there between the two
friends, even when they are bit
terly divided, is not present.
Something similar happens
with Robinson. In the 1979
scene, her portrayal of Mary as
an embittered theater critic is
overbearing, and all that comes
through is a sense of too much
effort. Toward the end of the
play, she is more subdued and
her younger Mary is much more
comfortable to watch.
A notable piece of
characterization is Sher
Alltucker's portrayal of Gussie,
Frank’s second wife.
Everything from her costuming
to the tone of her voice is
perfectly in keeping with her
role as a spoiled socialite con
stantly seeking the right people.
The technical aspects of the
show, such as lighting, or
chestration and costumes, are
excellent. Unfortunately, those
elements in addition to lladlev
and Alltucker are not enough to
make up for what is lacking in
this show.
"Merrily We Roll Along"
runs weekends through Aug. l>
at the Robinson Theatre on cam
pus. The play is directed by
Richard Gray.
