Iranian planes bombed oil in Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah in northern Iraq. An Iraqi communique Tuesday night said that nine persons were killed and 46 wounded in the bom­ bings. installations Western correspondents said that Iraqi forces in the K horram shahr area consolidated their positions and that other troops w ere believed to be moving against Abadan. But Tehran radio denied that Khorram shahr had fallen. A COMMUNIQUE of the Iranian high command broadcast by Tehran radio said that the Iraqi planes had struck fuel tanks and a radio com ­ munications center in Abadan. It said that two Soviet-built MiGs w ere shot down. Iranian President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, in a television address late Monday night, deplored the “ total isolation” of his country and said that the Iranians them selves w ere to blam e for this. He added that Iran should let in foreign jour­ nalists to see for them selves, even if some of them wrote unfavorably. “ This is the first tim e in history th at a country is being attacked and is supported by no one in the world. I t’s total isolation, and it should make us think; we have to realize that our words and our slogans satisfy no one but us,” Bani-Sadr said as quoted by AFP, the French news agency. “ ENEMY PROPAGANDA” has been able to exploit some of “our unjustified actions,” Bani- Sadr said, apparently without elaboration. He called the propaganda war an essential part of w arfare and added, “ if the revolution was able to the overthrow propaganda that we conducted that caused his isolation. I t’s not true that we can be indifferent to what people say about us. If we are isolated, it is proof that the peoples of the world think our ac­ tions are bad. If they think that, it is partly our fault.” the shah, it was thanks to The government in Tehran has sharply cur­ tailed foreign reporting both now and before the war. There are few correspondents in Tehran. Americans especially have been barred. The Iraqi regime, which had always been highly suspicious of foreign rep o rters in the past, by contrast granted visas to scores of them at the outset of the war and has been willing to let them watch m i l i t a r y o p e r a t i o n s , e s p e c i a l l y th e Khorram shahr area. in MOST OF THE REPORTING on the war therefore has com e from Iraq. During the last few days, the Iranians appear to have been softening their press policy and a number of European cor­ respondents have received visas. There was speculation Tuesday again about the degree of support the Iraqis are receiving from King Hussein of Jordan. A Kuwaiti newspaper, Al Qabos, reported that Jordan had massed as many as 40.000 troops with tanks and Hawk missiles near the Iraqi border. A Beirut newspaper, As S a fir, claim ed that some Jordanian troops were th e fig h tin g w ith f o r c e s on I r a q i th e Khorramshahr-Abadan front. The reports cam e after Hussein paid a visit to Baghdad over the weekend and declared on his return that Jordan was “ fully on Ira q ’s sid e.” Informed Arab observers here said Tuesday that they had no evidence that Jordanian troops were already in Iraq but that it was obvious that Hussein was using his army to cover the rear of the Iraqi forces in view of the declared hostility between the Syrian and Iraqi regimes. The observers added that if the w ar w ere to go against the Iraqis, Hussein undoubtedly would go in at their side. Western correspondents who returned to the K horram shahr dockside from B asra Tuesday reported that Iraqi heavy artillery was shelling Abadan, which was also bombed from the air. University interpreter policy awaits Supreme Court ruling (Editor’s note: This is the first of a three-part series exam ining the plight of handicapped students at the U niversity.) By GARDNER SELBY Daily Texan Staff In 1978, U niversity graduate student W alter Camenisch asked the University to apply federal laws and give him the classroom services of a sign language interpreter free of charge. The University refused, saying he m ust m eet financial need for the se r­ vices. and in March 1978 Camenisch, who is deaf, filed for injunctive relief in federal district court. t h a n M o re tw o y e a r s l a t e r , Camenisch has graduated from the University, but his suit for relief still stands under appeal by the sta te before the U.S. Supreme Court. If during its upcoming session the nation’s highest court upholds three in C am enisch’s lower court rulings favor, University policy will be forced to change — handicapped students will be eligible for sign interp reters paid for by the University. in upholding IN MAY, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New O rleans joined two p re v io u s c o u rts the Camenisch claim , by stating that Sec­ tion 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act allows individuals to petition for federal relief when their rights to equal oppor­ tunity a re blocked. The section states. “ No otherw ise qualified handicapped individual in the United States ... shall, solely by reason of his handicap, be excluded from the participation in. be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrim ination un­ der any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” The U n iv e rs ity fa lls u n d e r th e jurisdiction of the act because it receiv­ ed $31.4 m illion from the fed eral government for 1980 in te r­ SPEAKING THROUGH an the preter, Camenisch recently said court battle and lengthy wait have been worth it. “ There a re many other deaf people waiting to hear on my case, not only in le v e l,” T ex as but on a n a tio n a l Camenisch said, “ so I think it’s im por­ tant to know the results — it’s im por­ tant to get the interpretive services for students.” Three courts have agreed, including the 5th C ircuit Court of Appeals last May, setting up the present appeal to the Suprem e Court In argum ent against provision of in­ terp reters, a University adm in istrato r claim ed the costs would be too high. Ronald Brown. U niversity vice presi­ dent for stu d en t affa irs, said the University cannot afford a blanket policy for provision of free services to deaf students. “SURE THE University can afford to pay for one in te rp re te r,” Brown said. “ But we re talking about several thou­ sand dollars a year — it would not be un­ reasonable, with the Texas School for the Deaf in Austin, for two to three hun­ dred students to be on cam pus needing interpreters. “ Then you’re talking about a sum only at the expense of something e lse ,” like library or gym hours, Brown warned. “ I t’s going to cost out the kazoo to pay in te r p r e te r s ,” p re d ic te d Bill for Hawthorne, supervisor of the Texas R e h a b ilita tio n C o m m ission South Austin field office. in He said the U niversity should expect to pay about $5.000 for each interpreter needed the c o u rse of a given sem ester. Slightly m ore than 20 inter­ preters work through outside agencies at the U niversity and Austin Communi­ ty College, Hawthorne said. STEVE CURRIER, form er Universi­ ty coordinator of handicapped services who resigned his University post last sum m er and assum ed a sim ilar job at Austin Community College, said ACC “ is having an increase in its deaf pop­ ulation. (but) it’s not having any trouble in coming across with funds (for inter­ preters). “ I have known junior colleges to ob­ tain funds,” C urrier said in a telephone interview, “ but I’m not really sure if Texas could.” C am enisch suggested a possible reason the University does not consider paying for interpretive services lies in an inability to get funds from a perm a­ nent source, like the Available Universi­ ty Fund, a source for U niversity building projects including handicapped access ram ps. from THE AUF CONSISTS of interest earn­ ed the P erm anent University Fund, which relies on oil royalties from one million acres of West Texas oil land owned by the University. Lonnie Zwiener. the sta te assistant attorney general who has handled the appeals to the 5th Circuit Court and the Supreme Court, states simply ”504 does not require us to spend m oney.” Rep. John Jenrette, D-S.C., stands with his wife Rita after being convicted late Tuesday of conspiracy and bribery in the FBI’s Abscam investigation. (Related story, Page 3.) Trial over Office denies grievance filed by Union worker By GARDNER SELBY Daily Texan Staff Texas Union food service w orker Bill Scarborough has been denied a grievance he filed complaining of a supervisor’s request that he not w ear a homemade UT Em ployees’ Union button while on the job. Scarborough filed the grievance Sept. 24 after Union Dining Services D irector Jim Taylor told him not to w ear the button because it looked unprofessional. In a Tuesday m em o to S c a r­ borough, Taylor said “ the issue you raised ... is not grievable under” University grievance rules. “ U nless such buttons a re a p ­ proved by Texas Union m anage­ ment, they are not to be worn during working hours,” Taylor wrote. The Office of Personnel Services and Employee R elations m ade the ruling, Taylor said in a telephone in­ terview. Scarborough said the ruling ig­ nored the underlying issue of F irst Amendment rights to freedom of ex­ pression. He said he m ay re-file the griev an ce with Union D ire c to r Frank Bartow, while also filing a grievance charging violation of due process in the OPSER decision. Section 9.49 of the U niversity Handbook of Operating Procedures outlines the grievance procedure. “ G rievances shall (be perm itted) ... when the employee believes there in fractio n , has been an u n fair breach or m isin te rp re ta tio n of applicable federal or state laws, or the rules, regulations or policies” of the U niversity, the handbook states. Complaints, however, do not m eet the c riteria for grievances, the rules state. “ C om plaints a re usually generated by employee dissatisfac­ tion w ith w o rk -re la te d a c tio n s which a re not m a tte rs of established University policy (nor are desired to be), but a re localized rules and practices,” the rules state. Com plaints should be informally discussed with an im m ediate super­ visor, according to the handbook. Also in the m em o to Scarborough. Taylor said. “ You can w ear a professionally m ade, non-obtrusive University of Texas Em ployees’ Union button. “ The d ia m e te r of this button should not exceed one inch.” Taylor continued, “ Because of the diversity of TUDS (Texas Union Dining Services) and its m arketing program s, there may be days when no other buttons or advertising is allow ed.” “ The im pression one gets is the Union is m ore interested in selling t h e F i r s t h a m b u r g e r s A m endm ent,” Scarborough said. t h a n Jim Kieke, the UTEU author of the grievance, said Scarborough has three days to respond to the OPSER ruling. The UTEU grievance com m ittee to m eet Tuesday was scheduled night. League calls GOP commercial misleading Reagan spokesman says ad will not be retracted or removed By DIANNA HUNT Daily Texan Staff The League of Women Voters has asked national Republican cam paign headquarters to either re tra c t or change a television com m ercial which it says implies a LWV endorsem ent of presidential candidate Ronald Reagan. Howeyer, a spokesman for the national Reagan headquarters in Virginia said it had no intentions of retracting or changing the com m ercial. The com m ercial, narrated by a woman, shows an empty podium and criticizes President C arter for not participating league-sponsored debate with Reagan and independent candidate John Anderson. the in Texas league president Diana Clark said Tuesday the use of the league’s nam e combined with a woman n arrato r has led many people to believe the pro-Reagan com m ercial is league-sponsored. “ We are not supporting candidates, and we never to issue a disclaim er,” Clark said. The Reagan spokesman, who asked to not be iden­ tified, denied that the com m ercial implied a league en­ dorsem ent for Reagan. “ T here’s no implication what­ soever of an endorsem ent,” he said. have,” Clark said. Clark said the national league sent a letter to the Reagan headquarters asking it to retract the com m er­ cial or remove the league s nam e from it. She said the LWV national office sent the le tte r after local league offices received numerous com plaints and questions about the advertisem ent. “ Local league presidents have had so many calls from citizens as well as news people, that we felt compelled He said the com m ercial had been broadcast national­ ly since the debate between Reagan and Anderson in September, and was last shown Oct. 4 The commercial has been broadcast over Austin television stations. The spokesman said the com m ercial has not been scheduled to run during the next two weeks but said the headquarters would reserve the right to use it again if it desired. Regents have final voice on constitution By KAREN-ANN BROE Daily Texan Staff If students vote Wednesday to bring back the Students' Association on c a m ­ pus for tim e since 1978, proponents will have crossed a for­ midable hurdle — but it is not their first and by no m eans their last. the firs t The constitution would be forwarded through a d m in istra tiv e channels to University Dean of Students Jam es C. H urst, U niversity P re sid e n t P e te r Flawn and UT System Chancellor E. Donald Walker for their recom m en­ dations before reaching the UT System Board of Regents, which has ultim ate approval or veto power. A new governm ent could take effect at the beginning of the spring sem ester if students approve a rider on the ballot calling for a special election of officers and deleg ates. O therw ise, the con- sitituion provides for an election on the first Wednesday in March. Polls will be open from 8:45 a.m . to 4 p.m. on the West.

For student governm ent supporters, the vote culm inates m ore than a y e a r’s effort the S tu d en ts’ Association, which was abolished in 1978. to bring back Analysis The idea originated in the minds of s e v e ra l s tu d e n ts dur i ng a b r a i n ­ storming session last September. A group of fewer than 30, calling them selves “ Students for Student G overnm ent,” collected nearly 2,500 student signatures — 1,000 more than needed — to call for a vote on whether to hold a constitutional convention two-to-one Students cam e out in favor. 2,121 for and 1,101 against holding the convention. However, the February e le c tio n to ch o ose 25 conven tion delegates attracted only 1,681 voters, or 3.8 percent of the U niversity student population, with 446 students voting for “ none of the above.” ORGANIZED opposition to student goverment did not exist until roughly six students form ed a group called APATHY/CYNIC. “ We re only (opposing i it because we feel that it’s something students should in.” p resid en t K erry be in terested M cGrath said^ “ I think they (student government supporters i expected no opposition at a ll." McGrath said he and several friends conceived of the idea a fte r reading in a newspaper article that only 21 students had signed up to run for 25 spots as con­ vention delegates Administrative support for student government has been widely assum ed throughout the cam paign, but a return of the student government will not be im m inent unless the UT System Board of Regents approves the constitution. Conceivably, the nine-regent board could review the constitution during its next regularly scheduled meeting Oct. 23, but Regent Thomas Law said ad­ m inistrative channels would probably tie it up until the Dec. 11 meeting. Both sessions are scheduled for Austin. Regents will have the option of ap­ proving the constitution in entirety, ap­ proving parts of it, or disapproving of parts or all of the constitution, he said. Although Law said he has given the constitution only a very cursory ex­ amination so fa r.” it would not receive approval if it conflicts with the state Constitution or statutory law. “ I am in favor of a student govern­ ment — a student government that real­ ly does something, with a president who is more than just a title ,” he said.
