Blackout
Front office.workers in the Central Order Service (that's the Uni-
versity's electric company) received an unexpected ten-minute coffee
break yesterday morning when workers in a local substation, sent the of-
fice and surrounding University buildings back into the dark ages. Lights
went out with a -"terrible pop and bright flash," according to one worker,
as a breaker circuit kicked out in the main power plant. Tragedy? Panic?
"Nobody seemed to mind," office supervisor Elaine Massey said. "The
girls in the office wished it would've stayed off longer."

MANILA, Philippines (AP) - A
war correspondent at 17, the coun-
try's youngest mayor at 22 and a
close challenger for the presidency at
40, Benigno Aquino at 45 sits in a
death cell as the Philippines' most fa-
mous prisoner.
Last Friday, two days before his
birthday and five years after his
arrest, the chief political opponent of
President Ferdinand Marcos was
convicted of murder, subversion and
illegal possession of firearms.
"DEATH BY FIRING squad,"
intoned the president of the military
tribunal that tried 1m. Aquino, whol
rejected military jurisdiction overj
him and refused to take part in his
trial, nodded his head and bit his lip.
He has claimed testimony used
against him was invalid.
Two alleged Maoist terrorists tried
with Aquino received the same
sentence.
The verdict drew widespread pro-
test abroad, including a statement by
the U.S. State Department that it was
disturbed by the decision. Marcos on
Tuesday ordered the trial reopened,
citing Aquino's complaint over trial

and the others had conspired to
install a Communist government in
the service of a foreign power, which
the prosecutor said was "Soviet
Russia and Communist China."
TESTIMONY also linked Aquino
and one of his co-defendants, Ber-
nabe Buscayno, with the murder of a'
village official in Tarlac, Aquino's
home province 50 miles north of
Manila. Buscayno is the alleged com-
mander of the New People's Army,
the military wing of the Communist
Party of the Philippines.
While rejecting the case against
him, Aquino did not deny dealing
with Communists in some ways and
said a contact with anti-government
insurgents was needed to ensure his
political and physical survival.
"Talk to politicians in central
Luzon, and if any of them says he
neverhad anything to do with the
NPA (New People's Army)," he
would be a liar, Aquino's wife Corry
said in an interview yesterday.
Five years ago most Filipinos
expected Aquino to succeed Marcos
at the end of his second term in- 1973.
BUT THE TERM didn't end. Citing
what he called near-anarchy and
danger of a Communist rebellion,
Marcos proclaimed martial law on
Sept. 21, 1972, and extended his
presidency indefinitely.
Aquino was among hundreds ar-
rested in the first few days of martial
law, including other members of the
disbanded Philippine Congress.
When the military .commission
began taking evidence against
Aquino in August 1973, the ex-senator
made an impassioned plea for a civil
trial that brought applause from his
supporters in the packed courtroom.
It was typical of the flamboyance
that marked Aquino's career. He"
returned from his war coverage in-'
Korea to become at 22 the country's
youngest mayor ever. At 21 he was
the youngest-ever governor of Tar=
lac. Six years later he was elected
senator, a national office, two weeks
before the statutory minimum age of
35 and retained the office on the
strength of a 5-4 vote by the Electoral
Tribunal.
EBULLIENT and a con sunt critic
of the Marcos regime, he beiame the
president's most formidaib oppon-
ent.
"My husband always aspired to be
president," Aquino's wife said. Two
months Aquino's junior and a child-
hood sweetheart, she had just re-
turned from her third visit with him
since his conviction.
"What he keeps telling me is that
all of these five years have been a
very great experience for him, and,
while they have been very difficult,
and painful, he says he never would~
exchange the past five years for.-
anything.
"He feels they havle taught him"
many things. If it is in his destiny to.=
be president, he feels that the five
years will better prepare him for it.
If it is'his lot to becom* a private
person, then he will welcome it
wholeheartedly."
Aquino said her husband was.'-
awake all Frijay night typing his§
letter to the Supreme Court in his'
cell. She said he had regained hiss:;
high spirits by yesterday and his
advice was, "Look, we can expectC
anything and everything at this -
moment."

TONY PERKINS NIGHT
FIVE MILES TO MIDNIGHT
(Anatole Litvok, 1963) yemny -AUMA
In a grim performance, Perkins as a slightly nutty American forces his wife (SOPHIA LOREN) to go eOlng
with his scheme of insurance fraud. Tight suspense, a grisly climax, and a superb us ef its
Parisian location are the distinctions of this littleseen film. Very few major actors have gamwl on
parts like Perkins and mode it pay. An incredibly interesting film , with tensions generated by the
American Perkins playing against the European sensibility of the rest of the camp"ay. With
GIG YOUNG, JEAN-PIERRE AUMONT.
PSYCHO

Often cited as the most frightening film ever made, PSYCHO tells of a secretary (JANET LEIGH) who
absconds with $10,000 and comes upon a lonely motel near a Gothic house inhabited by a strange
young moan (ANTHONY PERKINS) and his possessive mother. Need we continue? Will you ever

Planned pan dahood
The hope of a nation was dashed yesterday when it was announced in
Tokyo that Lan Lan the panda is not pregnant after all. Since last June
when Lan Lan's mating with beau Kan Kan was nationally televised a
special telephone number has been operating at her home, the Ueno Zoo,
to take calls from fans all over Japan checking on her progress. News-
paper columnists and television commentators alike have speculated on
the chances of Lan Lan becoming the first panda outside China to give
birth to a cub in captivity, but yesterday the guessing stopped. Despite
nipples that puffed, then deflated, then puffed again - a sign of pregnan-
c3- Lan Lan's nipples shrank a final time recently causing officials to
shed a tear. At a "panda conference" yesterday, a zoo spokesman dis-
pensed the sad news: "Regrettably we have to give up hope about a baby
for Lan Lan this time," he said. We weren't surprised. Could you do it
right on national television?
