(AP) - A state budget amendment that would cut off funds to schools that host groups advocating sex between unmarried people is constitutional, a Florida judge has ruled. "In the present case, the Legislature has not prohibited speech," Circuit Judge John Rudd ruled Friday. "It has come to a decision that educational funds are to be used to educate students, not to provide recognition for, assistance to, or meeting facilities for groups to advocate sexual relations." THE AMENDMENT was quietly tacked onto the state's $9.3 billion budget, which went into effect-July 1. It withholds funds from any university or com- munity college that "charters or gives official recognition or knowingly gives assistance to or provides meeting facilities for any groups or organizaton that recommends or advocates sexual relations between persons not married to each other." A major backer, state Rep. Tom Bush, said the amendment was specifically aimed at homosexuals. "I recognize the First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech and I think it should be protected. I just don't think taxpayers' money or student fees or university buildings should be used to promote or en- courage homosexuality," Bush said. THE PROVISO in the state budget had caught education officials by surprise. "When we were working on it, the indications were that the governor was going to veto it," said Board of Regents Chairman Debose Ausley. "I'd forgotten about it." Gov. Bob Graham at the time called the amen- dment "constitutionally suspect," but said a 1980 Supreme Court decision prevented him from vetoing the entire bill and cutting off all funds to the state university system. Commissioner of Education Ralph Turlington, who. brought the suit, declined comment'on the ruling, saying he would have to talk to his attorneys before deciding whether to appeal. It is not clear how the decision will affect college organizations or if it will cancel a lawsuit filed by the Florida Task Force, a coalition of gay rights organizations. A hearing on that suit is set for Sept. 24.

Vance resigned his post before Carter's term ended, reportedly because Carter relied on Brzezinski's advice over Van- ce's. "Every president has his own style so the duties of the national security ad- visor aren't the same under each president," Brzezinski said, adding that Carter and he worked "very closely." Brzezinski said that when Carter oc- cupied the White House he would brief the president "one on one" each mor- ning for about half an hour on national security topics and "the decisions the president would have to make in the course of the day, meetings on foreign policy, and so forth." Brzezinski, who could walk in on the president without an appointment, criticized Reagan's reluctance to delegate more authority to Secretary of State Alexander Haig. "As a result we've a system today in which neither the secretary of state nor the assistant for national security af- fairs is productive." Currently a political science professor and director of the Institute on International Change at Columbia University, Brzezinski shared some of his views on foreign affairs. - He said he thinks there is a growing pacifist wave in Europe now which "could be a serious problem for U.S. security" but he thinks the Reagan ad- ministration should not overact. In the early 1970s he said Europe contributed more to NATO's defense than did the Unites States. The Eastern Bloc moving away from Soviet influence, as illustrated in the rise of Poland's Solidarity, is a long range trend, he said. "I'm sure Eastern Europe wants to emancipate itself from the Soviets whenever ;t can." Brzezinski said if the United States was not careful "we could drive coun- tries into the Soviet orbit. Policies like excessive support of South Africa, lack of progress in the Middle East peace process, and insensitivity to the need for reform in Latin America, will push countries toward the Soviets, Brzezin- ski said. "The question really depends on what we do, or do not do," he said, and not on the Soviets, who are "not very popular in the Third World." Brzezinski, who was once offered an assistant professorship at the Univer- sity, said he was happy to return to Ann Arbor. "Michigan put on a very spectacular performance and I was happy to see the game. I have to admit Michigan was very lucky to eke out that narrow vic- tory," he joked. *.The Blimp: More than just a big balloon (Continued from Page 1) Goodyear had to decline the requests. Instead, Goodyear's blimps, which can, carry no more than five persons each, spend most of the fall traveling from football game to fo6tball game across the country, usually covering one collegiate game and one professional game each week. CONTRARY TO popular belief, however, the blimp does not afford a very good view of the game, said John Moran, who piloted the Goodyear ,blimp, America, at yesterday's Michigan-Notre Dame game. In fact, sitting in the end zone in a seat directly behind the goalpost might prove to offer a better view. "For the pilot, it is not a very good seat," Moran said. "My TV monitor only shows what the high altitude camera (stationed on the blimp) sees. For watching a race, like the Indy 500, a Three beers, blimp is a much better seat." Goodyear allows ABC-TV to operate the cameras aboard the blimps for televised sporting events in exchange for free promotion on the television broadcasts. GOODYEAR'S BLIMP fleet plays another important role in the com- pany's promotion work. In between foot- ball games and auto races, the blimps often travel from city to city. Goodyear executives, hoping to persuade a manufacturer or retailer to use or market Goodyear products, often take prospective clients for rides in the dirigibles. Goodyear executives say the blimp fleet has been an invaluable promotional tool for the company. "People tend to remember the name of Goodyear through the identification of the blimp, more than any other symbol in advertising," Scherer said. "Goodyear gets national exposure." The American blimps each cost Goodyear between $1 mi llon and $2 million to operate each year. The com- pany's blimp, Europa, stationed in Rome, covers sporting events and other festivals in Western Europe and runs up an annual bill of between $2.5 million and $4 million. Goodyear's three American blimps are stationed across the country-in Houston, in Los Angeles, and Pompano Beach, Fla. Goodyear has blimp homebases in various regions of the country because the dirigibles cannot travel more than 250 miles in an average day, and thus would be unable to, make a complete cross-country trip in time for weekly sports events. "The (ABC) hetwork calls our New York office on the Monday afternoon before each game (telling us which game will be televised) and invites us to attend the game," Stherer said. "After that, a phone call goes out to Goodyear world headquarters in Akron, Ohio to see which of the three blimps floating around is in the vicinity of the game." Each blimp travels with a ground crew of about 16, a technician, and a promotionalliaison. Rebate offered nly. See the Jostens' Display at }( Mon. thru Fri Sept. 21-Sept. 25 11 :00to 4:00 549 E.

While most partiers came and went, a select group prepared for the infamous beer guzzling contests. The first ac- tivity, the team-chugging-relay, brought a dozen teams of four to the balcony of the house to test their speed and endurance. The object: To finish four bottles of beer before any other team finished. THE ANTICIPATION was thick. Some teams chanted ad-lib fight cheers, while more serious participan- ts nervously licked their lips and eyed their opponents. Winners of one heat-Freshmen Michael Hunt, Mike Woods, Kirk Lar- son, and Bill Phunn-attributed their success to rigorous practice in high school. University student John Stewart, a member of the "Dead Dogs" team, said he had prepared for the contest by drinking steadily since 7 that evening. Even a few Notre Dame fans showed up, lurking ominously in green and yellow jackets. Some had to acknowledge Michigan's superiority . . in beer drinking, that is. "The supremacy for beer drinking goes to U of M," admitted Irish fan Jim Daly.. why Study in a Cloiet?
