A motion 'to strike the University's statement of facts on the case, curren- tly pending in the State Court of Ap- peals, was filed Sept. 21 by WCCAA lawyer Thomas O'Brien. In response, University attorney Peter Davis sub- mitted a motion on Sept. 27, asking that the case be dismissed. ACCORDING T court regulations, the state court was to have ruled on the WCCAA request yesterday, but it may be a month before a judgment is made. Both motions have delayed oral argument, which would have been scheduled for later this month, accor- ding to a spokesperson for the appeals court. O'Brien alleges the University's writ- ten argument on the appeal contains factual assertions that did not cite a source.

At the United Nations, he called for "an energetic effort to do away with the very possibility of provoking war." And at a Mass at Yankee Stadium, he called for a "simple way of life." "It is not right that the standard of living of the rich countries should seek to maintain itself by draining off a great part of the reserves of energy and- raw materials that are meant to serve the whole of humanity," he told the 70,000 worshippers in the stadium. "IN A SPECIAL way my heart is with the poor, with those who suffer, with those who are alone in the midst of this teeming metropolis," the pontiff said earlier beneath the soaring, vaulted ceilings of St. Patrick's Cathedral. Hundreds of' thousands of people waved banners, cheered and sang as the pope made his way through the streets of the nation's largest city. And the pope's day was as diverse as the crowds greeting him. From the United Nations he went to St. Patrick's. Then under a darkening sky, the papal motorcade headed up Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard, and John Paul saw the broken windows of Harlem. Next, speaking in Spanish, he addressed a crowd in an empty lot in the heavily Hispanic South Bronx. Then came Yankee Stadium with a huge red altar and red carpet stretching over the green grass - and a truck to carry the pontiff before the cheering throng. THE POPE'S day was touched by the nation's violent side, too. Acting after the FBI received a letter saying the pope's life was in danger, police raided a house in Elizabeth, N.J. and found a semi-automatic weapon and am- munition. They issued an alert for a man authorities said might be connec- ted with Puerto Rican extremists. John Paul's day was already 13 hours long when he began the Mass in Yankee Stadium, and his face showed his weariness. Pope Paul VI also celebrated Mass at the Bronx Stadium 14 years ago. John Paul spoke of the United States' "reputation for generosity," and said Americans should be "faithful to that tradition in keeping with your vast p- possibilities and present respo sibilities." The pope referred to a speech he had made in 1978 condemning the "frenzy of consumerism, exhausting and joyless," and warned against "the temptation to make money the principal and indeed the very measure of human achievement." AT ST. PATRICK'S, at least 10,000 greeted John Paul. Fifth Avenue was a profuion of waving banners and han- dkerchiefs, and balloons of papal gold and white filled the air. A policeman helping hold back the crowds bowed before the pontiff and kissed his ring. Along the route to Harlem, the crowds clapped and chanted the song "Wade in the Water" as young blacks on bicycles pedaled along a' parallel serviceroad trying to keep up with the pope, who stood and waved in an open- topped limousine. At St. Charles Borromeo Church in Harlem, the pontiff, was greeted by Monsignor ,Emerson Moore, the only black monsignor in the country. At St. Patrick's, he was met by New York's Cardinal Terence Cooke, Bishop Fulton Sheen, and a crowd of-other churchmen and worshippers. POPE JOHN PAUL II acknowledges the standing ovation of U.N. General Assembly delegates yesterday afternoon. In his hour-long speech he warned that the continuing arms race among the superpowers threatens "common exter- mination" of future generations.

Upon receipt of your response, MSA may proceed with the judicious exercise of its funding procedures pursuant to and in accor- dance with the accepted University practices and procedures." In other action, Assembly member Riase Jakpor called for the creation of a standing MSA committee to meet the needs of international students at the University. Riase noted that foreign students constitute nearly six per cent of the total student body and that the creation of such a committee would help guide them through the Univer- sity's bureaucratic maze. The Assem- bly voted to hold off on any such action until its next meeting. MSA also played host to Nelson Jacobson, president of the University Cellar Board of Directors, and Ralph McKeean, a representative for the bookstore's workers union. Jacobson told the Assembly that labor and management have agreed upon a contract but had not yet signed an agreement.- "This contract presents both sides of the dispute with a win-win situation," he said. "The whole thing has a real progressive attitude and foreshadows trends to come in national labor laws." MCKEEAN SAID his group is satisfied with the agreements but disagreed with Jacobson on the Board of Director's progressive attitude. "You've got to remember," he said, "it -took a two-day strike before book rush to get these things done." GOP predicts SALT II failure rol of its administrative finances. Alland made the announcement at the Assembly meeting last night. The announcement culminated a five- month waiting period during which MSA funding capabilities remained in limbo. The body accepted the news with quiet resignation. IN A.

" To introduce an appeals process for student groups dissatisfied with Assembly allocations. - And to establish procedures for the investigation of alleged misuse of MSA funds. Johnson demanded the changes be made before he would consider retur- ning control of funds to the student government. 40 "AFTER YOU (Alland) read this let- ter;" Johnson wrote, "I expect to receive a response indicating that you WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican leaders in the Senate said yesterday the SALT II treaty cannot be ratified now, partly because President Carter has failed to separate the pact from the con- U.S. halts funds to Mexico for marijuana herbicide spraying from the Senate's consideration of the SALT accord. IN HIS SPEECH, Carter said he did not win agreement from the Soviets to downgrade the status of the Soviet troops. He said he planned to increase U.S. surveillance of military activities in Cuba, bolster U.S. naval and military presence in the area, and speed more aid to Latin American nations that feel threatened by the Soviet-Cuban allian- ce. But administration officials said yesterday that Carter does not plan to take any steps against the Soviet Union and has decided against linking the troop issue to such matters as trade with the Russians. IN THE SENATE Republican leader Howard Baker of Tennessee said he found Carter's response to the Soviet troop issue "disappointing and inadequate" and said his count shows SALT II would attract fewer than 60 votes if a final test were held now. The votes of 67 senators are needed for ratification. Sen. Frank 'Church (D-Idaho), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was reported to be considering a reservation to the treaty saying the accord would not take effect until the Soviet brigade is with- drawn or dismantled. But Baker, at a news conference, called that idea "dodging the issue and a cop-out." He said he would rather see the withdrawal of the brigade as a precondition to ratification. SEN. JOHN TOWER (R-Texas), chairman of the Senate Republican conference, said there is no chance now for ratification. He predicted that the Democratic leadership would postpone action on the treaty until next year and r By NICK KATSARELAS The United States will no longer financially assist the Mexican gover- nment in its use of the dangerous her- bicide paraquat, the UPI reported Monday. Paraquat was used to kill Mexican marijuana crops, but the marijuana was often harvested before the her- bicide infected plants were completely destroyed. THE HERBICIDE, which has been found in Mexican-imported marijuana throughout the U.S., was determined by, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to cause fibrosis of the lungs. It has been the focus of much controversy and debate by both marijuana aficionados and health of- ficials. The administration's decision to ter- minate paraquat funding was done by way of letters sent to Mexican officials, and was purposely downplayed in order not to upset the precarious relationship between the United States and Mexico. According to a State Department of- ficial; the Mexican government was not happy with the decision. The ad- ministration will continue funding the program of spraying )poppy fields, which are harvested to manufacture heroin. "It's a victory for us," said Peter Meyers, chief counsel for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). -"This is something we've been pushing for for two years." NORML had filed suit this summer to force the State Department to cease its aid to the paraquat spraying program in Mexico.' the aid was in the form of helicopters, technical assistance, and pilot training. The State Department also organized the spraying operation for the Mexican government. d Paraquat was not supplied by the United States. The use of the herbicide has been un- der attack since its effects became known in a study released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. A later study found one-fifth of all marijuana sampled cortained paraquat. An average of 500 parts per million of the herbicide was detected in See U.S., Page 10 Carter ... tries to save SALT II tinuing furor over Soviet combat troops in Cuba. But the Senate's Democratic leader- ship fought to save the treaty, saying Carter has succeeded in demonstrating that the presence of 2,600 soldiers in Cuba in no way overshadows the impor- tance of a treaty to control the race in nuclear arms. The debate over the future of the strategic arms limitation treaty con- tinued despite Carter's effort in a nationally broadcast speech Monday night to defuse the issue and separate it Baker ... says treaty's doomed said the delay could extend to April. But Senate Democratic leader Robert Byrd of West Virginia said he still in- tends to bring the treaty up this year. Tower said that if Byrd does so, he will likely face an attempt to send it back to the Foreign Relations Committee, either until 1980 or indefinitely. Baker said he does not believe Senate debate on SALT II should be postponed. He said it should be changed by amen- dments dealing with such issues as the Soviet backfire bomber and the SS-18 missile.
