Britain
appoints
Rhodesian
governor
LONDON (AP) - The British
Cabinet issued a special order last night
authorizing appointment of a governor
to rule Zimbabwe Rhodesia with full
legislative and executive powers.
The action came hours after Foreign
Secretary Lord Carrington said Britain
would go ahead with plans to establish a
new government in that breakaway
African colony with or without an
agreement from the Patriotic Front
guerrilla alliance.
ALSO, SENATORS seeking an im-
mediate lifting of economic sanctions
against Zimbabwe Rhodesia gave their
approval yesterday to a compromise
that would retain the trade embargo
while the African nation moves to
create a black majority government.
Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), the
Senate's most vocal advocate of ending
the sanctions, joined in. the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee's 10-0
vote for the compromise.
It is based on a promise by President
Carter to lift the embargo under certain
conditions and to provide the Senate a
chance to override him and end the
sanctions even if those conditions are
not met.

Khomeini a leader

for lift
From AP, UPI and Reuter
TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian people, in a
vast show of support for the Moslem
elder who has made the holding of
American hostages part of a holy
crusade, voted overwhelmingly yester-
day to make Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini their political overlord for
life.
Vote counting began yesterday in a
national referendum that will turn Iran
into a strict Islamic state, and some
voters marked ballots with their own
blood, the Islamic clerical newspaper
Jomhouri Islami reported.
DIPLOMATIC sources said the fate
of the hostages would not be decided by
Khomeini or the militants until the
results of the referendum are announ-
ced at the end of the week.
An overwhelmingly positive result
for Khomeini, the sources said, could
help create a favorable climate for the
eventual peaceful release of the
hostages and defuse the crisis.
However, the sources said this hopeful
scenario was speculative.
Voting in the referendum began Sun-
day and ended late last night though
ballot counting at the 20,000 designated
stations was already under way yester-
day afternoon.
THE KHOMEINI regime, mean-
while, stepped up public readiness for
an eventual U.S. military attack expec-

guards at the U.S. Embassy, where 50
Americans entered their 30th day of
captivity in the hands of Moslem
militants demanding that the United
States hand over the deposed Shah of
Iran.
In an unexplained development, an
ambulance was seen moving from point
to point within the embassy compound.
A student spokesman contacted by
telephone said the hostages were "all
well" but would not say why the am-
bulance went to the embassy.

Spokesmen for the students also
denied that any of the hostages have
been secretly whisked from the em-
bassy compound to new hideouts, but
diplomatic reports persisted that the
captives were scattered throughout
Tehran to thwart any rescue attempts.
"THE HOSTAGES are all still in the
embassy," a militant spokesman at the
embassy said. "It is absolutely untrue
that they have been moved. All are in
good health."
Another student captor said eight of

A 'silent
night'at
Kappa
sorority
By STEVE HOOK
Members of the Kappa Kappa Gam-
ma sorority had to scramble for alter-
native sleeping quarters late Sunday
night after receiving an anonymous
claim that a bomb had been planted in
their chapter house.
Ann Arbor police were summoned to
the sorority, located at 1204 Hill St., just
before 1:00 a.m. yesterday. After sear-
ching the lower two floors for ex-
plosives and finding none, the four of-
ficers reportedly "suggested" that the
64 residents leave the house, although a
formal evacuation was not ordered.
AFTER DISCUSSING their plight,
according to house members, all
decided to spend the night elsewhere.
By 1:30 a.m., the Kappa Kappa Gamma
house was empty, as residents found
accommodations in nearby sororities,
fraternities and apartments.

Bryant said he didn't know what was causing the distur-
bance, became livid, turned around and gave what he ter-
med a "hairy eyeball" to quiet the offenders. Later, when
the bat swooped a bit too close for comfort, the audience
members began to shriek in fright. Finally, one brave soul
managed to throw his coat over the screeching rodent and
another captured it with-a pillow sheet she just happened to
have in her purse, and let it go outside. "Unfortunately, the
whole incident spoiled the bass' first aria but we went on
anyway," Bryant explained and then amiably continued
the rest of the performance. Q

your grades have been going down, it may be due to
psychological causes. A new program sponsored by the
University School of Education can help you find out exac-
tly what the problem is. From now until the end of winter
term in April, the "Learning Evaluation Clinic" will per-
form psychological tests for people who have questions
about their ability in school-related functions. "If people
feel like they are not learning as fast as their peers, they
can come to us," said Amy Swan, a clinic employee. Swan-
said the clinic offers a personal conference, an attempt to
identify the student's problems, and recommendations for
improvement from the examiners. Students who have yet
to be subjected to collegiate rigors also will be involved.
Swan stressed that the program is also for children.

cheer with family and friends, personalized Christmas car-

SCROOGE's founder, said, "The only thing I'm against is
all these asinine gifts that have gotten out of hand."
Langham was inspired to form SCROOGE after he and his
wife ran up a Christmas gift bill of almost $600 three years
ago. Langham said one of SCROOGE's principles is to
recognize that "a 'Merry Christmas' can't be bought." O
