The five were among 22 U. S. students originally stranded because the International Cultural Exchange lacked the funds to bring them home. According to state Attorney General Frank Kelley, World Airways, Inc. is offering the students empty spaces on a flight from Brazil to Detroit that day, free of charge. The same airline is also of- fering free flights to foreign exchange students stranded in the United States. The federal Civil Aeronautics Board must still approve the ar- rangement, and is expected to do so. 0 Struggle for Zimbabwe If you're interested in a) the South Africa con- flict, or b) simulation games, you might check out Course Mart's "Struggle for Zimbabwe," a 2- credit class employing simulation games as a serious learning technique.

Where are all the jobs? I feel that anybody worried about the job market would encourage women to stay at home." In an interview, Schlafly also said she agreed with th Supreme Court decision ruling last month that companies can refuse to pay pregnancy sick leave. "I don't think that industry should have to pay for babies," she said. "That's the job of the father, whether he's married or not" Beard ban The Argentine military government has ban- ned bearded photographs on mandatory ID cards, meaning a compulsory shave for thous- ands of bewhiskered Argentine men. No reason was given for the ordered ban, announced last week, but presumably the government intends to prevent confusion or deception in the use of cards, which every citizen has carried under threat of indefinite imprisonment since 1974. "From now on," said the federal police department notice, "all persons wishing to obtain documents at the federal police's identification department must do so clean-shaven." Not surprisingly, many observ- ers objected to the ruling. "It is quite obviously a response to the widespread prejudice among military personnel and policemen against men with beards, of which I am one," fumed a British newspaper writer. The quiet bunch Police in the Bronx thought they had uncovered a new routine among youth gangs when mem- bers of "Crazy Homicide" began using sign lan- guage-but it was not a put-on. All of the gang's members are deaf and mute. "At first they ap- peared to be a normal, wild bunch of kids," said Detective John Daly,(if setting fire to a car can be called normal.) It wasn't until the cops had chased the gang members about three blacks from the scene of the crime that their common handicap was noticed. A sign language specialist from the police department quizzed the teen- agers, who were held on charges of malicious mis- chief. "We come into contact with the unusual all the time," said Daly, "but this was very unusual." On thei nside ...

But, like the vaunted postman, the University saw no reason not to pursue the swift completion of its appoin ed rounds. As students in 300 school districts throughout the state enjoyed a day off, as did students at Eastern Michigan University and Washtenaw Community College, University students trudged their normal routes to class. It took them considerably longer than usual, of course, ON NORTH CAMPUS many students were forced to walk to central campus as most buses were suck in the drifts. Sev- eral buses bypassed Bursley Hall altogether until roads were cleared late in the morning. Some undaunted stu'dents depended on their new cross-country skis to transport them to class. According to Dennis Kahlbaum or tie University's weather observation center on North Campus, a total of 11.3 inches of snow was on the ground in Ann Arbor at 3 p.m. yesterday. How- ever, winds of up to 35 miles per hour created drifts of up to two feet. The National Wea her Service called the storm the worst to hit Michigan since December 1974, when 18 inches of snow fell in less than 24 hours, crippling, much of the Great Lakes region. Yesterday's storm, according to Kahlbaum, centered over Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio. Illinois, Indiana and western Pennsylvania also received heavy snow.

But there were better moments in all that snow yesterday: Joe Vining (above) navigated Monroe St. on his cross-coun- try skis, and four fellows (above, left) on State St. helped a friend out of a jam. Kissinger MUNICH OLYMPICS SUSPECT: Arrest spurs touts American strength Arab PARIS (AP) - An interna- tional storm blew up yesterday around the arrest in France of an alleged Palestinian terrorist on suspicion of commanding the 1972 slaying of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic games. Israel said it would ask France to hand over the suspected ter- rorist, but Israeli newspapers and experts doubted that France, which depends on Arab oil for its energy requirements, would comply. WEST GERMANY and France both claimed the other initiated the arrest of Mohammed Daoud Audeh, or Abu Daoud, whose )rotests capture appeared increasingly embarrassing to France. Arab ambassadors trooped to the French Foreign Ministry to protest the "unfriendly ac- tion" by France in arresting a member of an official Pales- tine Liberation Organization delegation. The office of the Frenchspresident emphasized the arrest was a "police deci- sion" on an international war- rant. Some French officials point- ed out the possibility that acts cited against Abu Daoud in pos- sible extradition proceedings might be considered political See ARABS, Page 2 Carter heartens Soviet Baptists MOSCOW (AP)- Half a million Baptists are avidly awaiting the inauguration of a fellow Baptist as president of the United States, but they don't worship in the American South's Bible Belt. They live in the Soviet Union. And the Soviet Baptists anticipate Carter's inaugural for vastly different reasons, because their ranks are split by opposing idealogies. THE ALL-UNION Council of Evangelical Christians Baptists - the Baptist church officially recognized by the Soviet government - says Jimmy Carter's expressed re- ligious principles will make him more dedicated to peace and detente. But the nation's dissident Baptists, who exist on the fringe of the law and have several of their members im- prisoned for illegal religious activity, hope primarily that Carter will press the Soviet government for increased re- ligious freedom. "The situation for Baptists in this country has been getting a little better, but it could be better still," says one Soviet Baptist in touch with the dissidents. "I think it will be helpful if Carter raises this question with Soviet offic- ials." The officially-recognized Baptist church does not com- plain about Soviet restrictions on religion. In the Soviet Union, such activities as open-air religious meetings and Sunday schools, common to Western Baptists, are prohibit- ed by law. "WE TRY TO carry on our work in line with the exist- ing laws in our country," the Rev. Alexei Bichkov, 48, gen- eral secretary of the all-union church, said in an inter- view. "Our believers are like little Billy Grahams. People ,till have the right to say what they want in personal con- tacts and no one is going to go to a policeman and com- plain we talked about God." But the dissidents, who called the officially-recognized See SOVIET, Page 2 i:1': **.**.**a*a ..*.m.* *.*.**.** . Vane questions claims of KISSINGER: 'U*S. wouldn't permit Soviet military superiority.' parity WASHINGTON (AP) - Hen- ry Kissinger, in a valedictory to the capital's press corps, yesterday dismissed the notion that the Soviet Union has gain- ed military superiority over the United States. In a nuclear age, Kissinger said, "the term supremacy, when casualties on both sides would be in the tens of mil- lions, has practically no op- erational significance as long as we do what is necessary to maintain a balance." HOWEVER, Kissinger recom- mended that the incoming Car- er administration modernize and strengthen U.S. forces that wouldtbe involved in "regional conflicts," which he said were the greatest military dangers facing the country. Assessing the last eight years, in which he was a principal architect of American foreign policy, Kissinger said possibly his largest achievement was helping the nation steer past "the trauma of Vietnam" and the "nightmare of Watergate."

(AP)- One crewman drowned, one was missing and five were plucked from freezing waters beside the floating wreck of an American tanker yesterday after the ves- sel split apart in stormy seas off Cape Ann. The 281-foot Chester A. Pol- ing, its tanks empty of oil, was sheared in half by gale winds and 25-foot waves in the tankers, two Panamanian ones and two U.S. vessels - the Poling and an Ohio River oil barge. In addition, a Liberian-reg- istered bulk cargo carrier had an explosion on board last Sat- urday off New York and was headed into port for repairs. The foundering of the Poling was the third mishap off New England. In a similar wreck, debris and life jackets with the name "Grand Zenith" on them. While rescuers near the Po- ling watched helplessly, the ship's bow sank and the stern floated toward the rocky break- water protecting ; Gloucester harbor. When the tanker broke apart, two crewmen standing on the bow were thrown into the icy Atlantic. A Coast Guard cutter er but later said the ship was carrying only seven. The vessel was en route from Boston, about 30 miles away, to Atlantic Terminals in Newing- ton, N.H., when the accident occurred. The incidents involving fore- ign registry ships have led to a call for greater regulation of such ships while operating in U.S. waters under international ,s.
