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. See BRITISH, page 6 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- vote shows ted by many Iranians. It posted, more 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."

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.

At first, 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.

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. "People who suspect they have a gifted child or a child with Christmas with presents like decorated trees and good cheer with family and friends, personalized Christmas car- ds and visits to the sick and elderly. Charles Langham, 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."
