VIENNA Wl Harold Connolly.
U.S. Olympics hammer throw
champ, disclosed Thursday that
the Communist Czech government
has given him permission to wed
Olga Fikotova, the Czech Olympic
discus slar.
Harold met Olga and won her
heart at the Melbourne Olympic
games.
In a telephone call from the
home of his fiance's parents in
Prague. Harold said he and OlEa
would be married in the Czech
capital on March 27.
Permission to Leave
11c said the Czechs had given
Olga permission to leave the
country at any lime and he plans
to lake her as his bride to Bos
ton. Mass., where he is a high
school history teacher.
The Czech government had kept
the 26-year-old Connolly and Olga,
24. dangling since March 6 on
their plea for permission to mar
ry. Connolly went to Prague late in
February to press his suit, and
Olga went personally to President
Anionin Zapotocky to present her
plea to be allowed to marry the
American.
Losing Star Athlete
The state's' permission was ne
cessary for a Czechoslovak na
tional to marry a foreigner. The
government apparently was par
ticularly reluctant to lose one of
its star athletes.
The U.S. Stale Department had
no objection to the match. "We
believe in romance," U.S. Secre
tary of State Dulles told a news
conference on March 5.
But the Czech government, ap
parently, did not know how it
stood on romance. Connolly final
ly had to leave Czechoslovakia on
March 9. without knowing whal
the answer would he, because his
10-dnv visitor's visa had expired
and the government refused to ox"
tend it.
Allowed to Itetitrn
After -arriving in Poland, how
ever, he applied lor a new visa
and was allowed to return to
Pracue.
Connolly previously has said
that if permission was received,
the wedding would lake plarc in
a Prague church and would he
followed by the required civil
ceremony

dancing girls. We must award
them our something - or - other

we favor the third girl from the

Fair again: "It appears all the
OSAA wants out of the tourney
is all of the profits and no ex
penses. If it weren't for the Active

Irusty U. of Oregon staff, we shud
der to think how fouled up this

what function it docs serve."
Leo Harris, Oregon athletic di
