The economic downturn earlier in the year has had some ef- fect on holiday shopping, but "business in the area is good," said Tom Borders, head of the State Street Merchants Association and owner of Borders Bookstore. "I THINK PEOPLE have pretty much been keeping up with in- flation," he said. Bill Fehenfeld, a manager at the bookstore, said, "Our season started earlier this year and it's better than last year." To the surprise of manager Donna Moran, Goodyear's department store is attracting at least as many Christmas shoppers as usual. "We thought we'd be kind of flat," she said. Sales during the Thanksgiving weekend - the traditional start of the holiday buying.season - were "tremendous," ac- cording to Moran. BUT SHE SAID she noticed people were buying conser- vatively, opting for practical, high quality items.. At Kiddieland, a Main Street toy store, an anticipated decrease in sales has not materialized, manager Carol Christensen said. Last night's "Midnight Madness" sale signaled the start of the season, according to John Spaide, former head of the Main Street Merchants Association. As for the level of sales this year, Spaide speculated, "If anything, I would say it's going to be down a little bit. I think some of the clothing businesses have been hurt.", For many downtown shoppers, it's Christmas shopping as usual, despite economic conditions. JERUSALEM (AP) - The Israeli government yesterday expelled to Lebanon two Arab mayors from the oc- cupied West Bank of the Jordan River, ending their seven-month legal and political battle. The decision drew expressions of concern at the United Nations and the Israeli military expected renewed Palestinian demonstrations on the West Bank. Mayors Fahd Qawasmeh of Hebron and Mohammed Milhem of Halhoul were driven by military escort from Ramle prison outside Tel Aviv to the Lebanese border after Prime Minister Menachem Begin ended consultations with top cabinet ministers and army of- ficers. "THEY CROSSED the border to Lebanon," a spokesperson for Begin said later. Reporters on Israel's northern fron- tier said the mayors were taken to a point near the town of Metulla. They apparently were handed over to rebel Lebanese forces which control Southern Lebanon in alliance with Israel. At the United Nations, Secretary- General Kurt Waldheim asked Israeli Ambassador Yehuda Blum to "convey urgently" his concerns about the depor- tation and his hope the order would be rescinded, according to a U.N. spokesperson. The United States has previously ex- pressed concern about the depor- tations. BEGIN'S SECURITY committee made its deportation decision one day after the Israeli Supreme Court upheld the expulsion order but suggested the government not enforce it. Justice Minister Moshe Nissim told reporters the committee "weighed all the political factors" but decided "security considerations were supreme.'' Nissim said he saw no reason why the expulsions should damage negotiations Begin ... committee cites security between Israel and Egypt, under U.S. patronage, for Palestinian self-rule in the occupied areas. He added it was possible the mayors could return in the future. "THIS IS NOT the kind of decision that is meant to stand forever," he said. Army sources said they expected a flurry of anti-Israel demonstrations in the West Bank of Jordan and Palestinians warned the expulsion would "heighten tension." Israeli troops shot and wounded 11 Arab youths in the last two weeks when dispersing Palestinian demonstrations. "The gulf that separates Arabs and Jews will widen," said Bethlehem mayor Elias Freij. Jewish residents of the West Bank welcomed the move. The expulsion ended a seven-month fight by the mayors, who were initially exiled to Lebanon in May,.hours after Arab terrorists attacked Jewish set- tlers in Hebron, killing six.

A communique by the Soviet Union and its six satellites also called for improved relations with the United States provided the incoming Reagan administration "displays the same constructive approach." THE COMMUNIQUE also said, however, that "socialist oland," the Polish Communist Party, and the Polish people "can firmly count on the fraternal solidarity and support" of the rest of the Eastern bloc. It did not spell out what kind of support. Coming on top of Western reports of a mobilization of Soviet troops along Poland's borders, the sense of urgency with which Polish Communist Party leader Stanislaw Kania and other Warsaw Pact chiefs rushed off to Moscow CIU5P: E Eii BIEflI1 D1l3Vff Kania ...,attends Moscow summit when summoned prompted immediate speculation of military intervention. DIPLOMATS HERE suggested the meeting itself highlighted the gravity with which the Soviet Union and other Warsaw Pact members regard developments in Poland since a wave of labor strikes last summer forced authorities there to liberalize their policies, including permission for independent trade unions. There also have been party and government shakeups as a result of the See MOSCOW, Page 2 By PAM KRAMER' Some 500 students were rather skeptical of the "new, improved" CRISP yesterday morning when the class registration system was shut down for two hours due to an equipment failure. But by 3:30 p.m., students with 3 p.m. appointments were going through the com- puterized registration, and University Associate Registrar Tom Karunas said he did not anticipate any problems in catching up com- pletely. CRISP workers told studen- ts who had to leave before the system was repaired to leave an envelope with their course requests or to have their Student Verification Forms stamped-allowing them to register later without having to reschedule an appointment. ABOUT 100 students left en- velopes, Karunas said, and CRISP workers estimated about 200 people opted for the priority stamp on their form and about 200 decided to wait. "You'd think nobody ever gets any sleep here," Karunas said. "A lot of the people who stayed fell asleep." Greg Ippolito, a junior in the School of Engineering, waited an hour to register for classes. "It really went fast (CRISP) once they opened the system back up," he said. "They're catching up really fast. "THE students who left may hold us up a little when they come back to CRISP next week, but I think we'll be able to handle it," Karunas said. The new computer ter- minals, wired directly to a Data Systems Center central computer, process students much more quickly than past systems, University officials say. However, the breakdown had nothing to do with the terminals, Karunas said, citing a broken disk drive at the center as the cause. "HAD THE old terminals been here instead, we might have considered putting the whole thing off for 24 hours," Karunas said. Yesterday's computer malfunction was similar to the CRISP shutdown during the Fall Term 1980 when the system was closed for 14 hours during the 12-day registration. Before that, the system had only been down for a total of 13-and-a-half hours since it was first implemented in 1975, Karunas said. "Of course, it's possible that the system could shut down again, but it's not very probable," he said. ----------- Iwo 115- cool to man ODAY Hospital bill M O ST DISCOTHEQUES draw their largest crowds on Friday and Saturday evenings, but a particular Quincy, Mass., establishment has been pulling in standing room only crowds on Sundays.
