Meet the Macintosh* Classic* computer
It's the most afTordahle Macintosh, yet it can
handle a variety of basic home, office, and
classroom applications, such as word
processing and spreadsheet analysis.
The Classic is a complete Macintosh.
Its monitor, keyboard, mouse and system
software an* all included, as are extras you
might not expect—such as the ability to
network and (Ik- Apple* SuperDrive'disk
drive, which lets the Classic read from and
write to MS-DOS, 0\ 2, and ProDOS* files.
The Classic can easily go where you
need to go, when you need to go there. Its
integrated design, light weight and built-in
carrying handle are ideal for a person on
the move.
So come in and see a demonstration.
And see a new value in personal
computing tliat couldn't lx* more
respectable. Or affordable.

Lonsdale break-in routine,
without political motives
BEND (AP) Deschutes
County sheriff's investigators
said Monday that last week's
break-in at Senate candidate
Harry Lonsdale's rural home
was a routine residential bur
glary and was not politically
motivated.
Detectives arrested two men
Saturday evening and recov
ered all the property stolen
from Lonsdale's home. Sgt.
Greg Brown said
Billy Sunday Graham Hemp
hill. 26, and Clinton lam King.
:<(). remained jailed Monday on
charges of first-degree burglary,
first-degree theft and conspira
cy to commit burglary. Bail was
set at $62,500 each
The burglary was discovered
Wednesday morning by Lons
dale’s secretary, who found the
candidate's office ransacked
and numerous items missing.
Police said it appeared cam
paign files had been scattered
around the room, and a compu
ter containing campaign and
contributor information was
stolen along with a stereo,
typewriter, telephone and vid
eocassette recorder.
According to a police report,
the secretary said she thought
files might have been copied
because the paper tray in an of
fice copying machine appeared
to have been almost emptied.
The Lonsdale campaign had
alleged the burglary was politi
cally motivated and called for
district attorneys in Marion,
Deschutes and Multnomah
counties to look into it.
Brown said it has been deter
mined that no campaign or per
sonal materials were copied
and it appeared the computer
system had not been tampered
with.
Deschutes County District At
torney Mike Dugan said he will
not allege a political motive
when the case goes to court.
Dugan said he believes the
break-in was a crime of oppor
tunity, noting that Lonsdale
was known to be out of town
and that the house was dark
and in an isolated area.
The home is six miles north
west of Bend in a Tumalo-area
subdivision.
Bill Calder. spokesman for
Sen Mark Hatfield. I-onsdale's
opponent, said after Monday’s
news conference that he was
incensed at the Democratic can
didate's assumption that there
was a political connection.
"Mr. Ixmsdale took what law
enforcement authorities termed
a routine residential burglary
and cleverly manufactured a
political story out of it," Calder
said.
