DAflY Astro note Remember Comet Kohoutek, the astronomical event of the century? Remember how it was going to light up the sky like an arc lamp? Rem'ember how it was a dismal flop? Well, if you'd like another stab at glimpsing a brilliant, naked-eye comet, don't pass up Comet West to- day through March 7. Residential College astron- omy lecturer James Louden says there's a very good chance West will turn out very much more visible than Kohoutek, based on the best astro- nomical predictions. Viewing time is important: "Be all set by 6:15 a.m. (today) and Monday, and by 6 a.m. sharp later in the week," he says. Other viewing instructions: look to the east (where else for a comet named West?), about five degrees above the horizon early this week and somewhat higher later on. Pick a location away from bright lights and trees or buildings obscuring the horizon. "Look for a bright, fuzzy motionless 'star' with a tail sticking almost straight up like a short searchlight beam," Lou- den adds. And hope for a clear day.

" How to get your M.S. Catherine King, a 25-year-old student at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, handed in her master's thesis on celestial navigation three months ago, but it wasn't until Friday that the panel re- viewing the paper agreed to accept it. The reason for the delay was a lengthy engineering depart- ment controversy over an illustration King in- cluded in her 83-page document - and wheth- er it should be withdrawn. The picture in ques- tion showed King dressed in a red, white and blue bikini, holding a sextant which she used in making celestrial calculations. She maintained the photo was necessary to show correct use of the instrument, but the panel said it had to be removed. King charged the panel with sex dis- crimination but dropped a complaint she made with the Departient of Health, Education and Welfare. "I'm just happy to receive my degree, the victorious King says now. "I'm just going to sit down and look at it for awhile." Button, button The glutted presidential nomination field may dishearten some perplexed voters, but Earl Gor- man couldn't be happier - he's the vice presi- dent of a factory that's raking in bucks from a booming campaign button business. "The more candidates, the merrier," says Gorman, and he's already filled two 500,000-button orders from Re- publican hopeful Ronald Reagan. "No other can- didate has come close to that so far," he says. The biggest Democratic purchase has come from front-runner Jimmy Carter, who bought 100,000 buttons. And better times are still to come: "Our business will really start to roll after the national conventions," says Gorman. "That's when we'll start getting orders for buttons bearing a picture of the candidate." On the inside * ..

Daily Photo by PAULINE LUBENS CAMPAIGNING IN FLORIDA Ford Nixon gets lecture on Maois m TSUNG HUA, China (UPI) - For- mer President Richard Nixon, veter- an of the finger-punching kitchen de- bate with the late Soviet premier Ni- kita Khrushchev, got a lecture on communism from a Chinese farmer yesterday on the last day of his visit to China. Nixon, who has been attended by a Chinese doctor and followed by an ambulance on part of his tour of southern China because of fatigue and recurring pain in his leg, visit- ed the home of Yeh Yi-hung and sat around a brown wooden table, with two pictures of party Chairman Mao Tse-tung looking down from the walls. About half a dozen party propaganda posters calling for increased produc- tion and loyalty to the party were the only other decorations. YEH SERVED Nixon tea and launched into a lecture on the joys of communism like a political com- missar. He told the former President how bad things had been before the Communist victory in 1949 and how good everything was now. He said his wife, three sons and grandchild had all they needed. "We have no worries about any- thing," Yeh said. But there was none of the fiery argument Nixon gave Khrushchev in 1959 when he jabbed a finger in the late Soviet leader's chest in the model kitchen of an American exhibit and attacked communism. slams Cuban regime Denounces Castro as 'international outlaw AP Photo Fun with filters By AP and UP MIAMI - President Ford yes- terday denounced Cuban Prime linister Fidel Castro as "an in- ternational outlaw" and warned that the United States would take "appropriate measures" against any armed intervention by Cuba in the Western Hemi- sphere. In his toughest language to date, as he launched a two-day campaign swing through Florida, Ford said Castro had committed "a flagrant act of aggression" by intervening in the Angolan civil war with a 12,000-man expedi- tionary force. "MY ADMINISTRATION will have nothing to do with the Cuba of Fidel Castro," Ford said. "It is a regime of aguression." Ford's remarks were prepared for delivery to a naturalization ceremony at Dade County Auditorium where 1,1-8 immigrants, most of them Cuban refugees, were being sworn in as American citizens. Ford noted in his speech that there are 35,000 Cuban refugees in the Miami area who are technically elig- ible for permanent resident-alien status and drew more applause by promising to cut the red tape in their quest for citizenship or permanent residence.

OUT OF SIGHT, NOT MIND: Centrex knows all izens can vote in the general election but it is too late for them to register for the primary, in which Ford faces another showdown with Ronald Rea- gan. Ford announced he was directing the attorney general "to place a high priority" on reducing the backlog of Cuban applicants for citizenship and is asking that 10 Immigration and Naturalization Service examiners be transferred to Miami within the next two weeks "to deal with the priority situation." Ford also directed the attorney gen- eral to take all possible administrative actions and, if necessary, to seek ad- ditional legislation to assure that Cu- ban ref igees can be awarded perman- ent resident status without being de- layed by the immigation quota sys- tem. By JENNY MILLER Buried deep in the heart of this campus is a secret room, known to only a segment of the University population; there the University busi- ness continues unceasingly, 24 hours- a-day. This mysterious place is none other than the University Centrex system -more commonly known as 764-1817. The last four digits correspond to the Native Americans wage recognition fight at U' year the University was founded. "THIS IS really the center of the University," says Janice Bataluco, supervisor of the workers at this vital and often unappreciated service. "It's here that the first impressions of the University occur," she adds. The University system is very dif- ferent from the typical image of a switchboard. It is located in a quiet, carpeted room, containing about 12 modern terminals. ALL INFORMATION needed for the system is kept on microfilm, and is frequently updated. The location of Centrex is kept secret for "security reasons," ac- cording to Bataluco, although "we haven't had any trouble and don't anticipate any." She adds, "It's not a complete secret, obviously it's not impossible to find out where it is." THE SYSTEM was a regular switch- board operation until 1964, says Ba- taluco-when the Hospital, dormitory and Engineering Dept. switchboards were combined into Centrex. "Our girls provide more service than most people realize," she says. "Besides having to be polite when people swear and shout at them into the phone, they often end up going abo-e and beyond the 'call of duty'."

"ABOUT 98 per cent of Indian stu- dents wash out of here," said Jim Concannon, a student service assist- ant in the Equal Opportunity Office. "Maubl three or four make it in any given year. What's the reason? Is it lack of money?" He shook his head. "No. It isn't," Concannon said, an- swering hims-lf. "Indians pay their w f, . ..
