The long-running Korean War on television ended in a 2 -hour episode, entitled "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" on CBS last night. ON CAMPUS, students filled the lounges of dorms, fraternity basemen- ts, and bars to view the show.

Canham may give USFL the boot By RON POLLACK The Michigan football program's top two officials said yesterday that they may follow the lead of other colleges and ban the United States Football League from campus as a result of the USFL's signing Georgia's junior tailback Herschel Walker to a contract last week. Athletic Director Don Canham, who just returned from a trip to Florida, and Head Football Coach Bo Schembechler, who will return to Ann Arbor from the same state today, will meet to decide on the new football league's future on campus. "WE ARE NOT welcoming them, but we haven't discussed it since Bo and I have both been out of town," said Canham. Anthony Carter starts workouts with the USFL's Michigan Panthers tomorrow. See story, Page 9. "But it's a possibility that we might ban them from campus. But I don't think there's any way to fight it. If they want to scout you, they only have to sit in the stands. So I don't know what tools you have, except public opinion." Schembechler told the Associated Press yesterday, that he has not ruled out the possibility of banning the USFL from campus. "I don't want to work unilaterally," he said. "I'll go back to my conference and see what they think, but that doesn't mean I won't act alone." Schembechler said he is more con- cerned with the potential effects of Walker's signing than the actual signing itself. "We're not talking about Herschel Walker per se,", said Schem- bechler. "He's one guy. We're talking about the effect an early signing has on other kids and how it's opened the door for every fly-by-night agent. That's why we're in the position we're in in college athletics - because someone says, 'We'll only do it once.' It's about time someone said no. Your word is your bond; when that's gone, what's left?" CANHAM IS also worried about the precedent that Walker's signing sets. "It causes anybody in intercollegiate athletics some pretty hefty concerns," said Canham. "Legally, they can do what they want. But where are the ethics? That's what concerns me. We're concerned they'll cause the NFL to do the same. If they take Walker and now they're after (Oklahoma freshman running back Marcus) Dupree, how long can the NFL be ethical? Where would USC be if O.J. Simpson were drafted early? We're concerned with the precedent this sets for the NFL and CFL (Canadian Football League)." Canham wouldn't say where he heard that Dupree was being pursued by the USFL, and Oklahoma officials yester- day disputed the athletic director's See CANHAM, Page 2 University opens new computing station in the Union By MICHAEL CASTLE A new computing facility designed to ease overcrowding at other campus computing centers opened its doors for the first time yesterday. The center's terminals won't be available for use until tomorrow, but that didn't stop about 40 University of- ficials - many of whom helped develop the center - from turning out for the ribbon-cutting ceremony dedicating the station known as UNYN (Union). The station, housed in the basement of the Michigan Union where the student bowling alley used to be, is about the same size as the one at North University Building Services (NUBS). AS HE CUT the ribbon strung across the center's doorway, University Vice President for Research Charles Over- berger said that UNYN is evidence of the University's commitment to students and computing. "I think it's an indication of the priority of computing at the University of Michigan when times (financially) have not been easy," he said. THE STATION is expected to lessen the congestion at NUBS, which is the only other major computing facility on central campus. "It will at long last relieve some of the terrible overcrowding conditions at See COMPUTING, Page 2 WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan yesterday asked for a $60 million boost in weapons aid to El Salvador and a senior White House of- ficial said the administration is eyeing an expansion in both the number and role of American military advisers in that nation. The official said Reagan has ordered a full-scale review of overall U.S. policy in gentral America, including a possible buildup in the team, now limited to 55 members and barred from combat, that advises El Salvador's for- ce against a leftist insurgency.] The disclosure, made to reporters traveling to California with the president on Air Force One, came only hours after Reagan told congressional leaders that $60 million in new U.S. military aid. is needed for the Salvadoran army to cope with the growing conflict.] SENATE REPUBLICAN Leader Howard Baker of Tennessee said Reagan told the congressional leaders that the Salvadoran government will have trouble surviving without ad- ditional support. "The president made it clear there is a serious problem' in the Central American region, that the national in- terests of this country are deeply in- volved in the outcome of that struggle," Baker said. Baker said the "immediate problem" is "whether or not the government of El Salvador can sustain itself" based on the current level of U.S. support. The president's view, Baker said, is that "it would have a difficult time doing that." THE SENIOR official who joined the president aboard Air Force One spoke only on condition he not be identified. He said Reagan had ordered the policy review four weeks ago and that no decision had been reached yet. He said the review "is far broader than just funding" and could include raising the self-imposed limit of 55 American advisers and expanding their role, which is now limited to training. The official said Reagan was con- sidering increasing the number of ad- visers "in the face of the Soviet threat" in the region. He said about one-third of Soviet military aid went to Latin America while only two percent of U.S. aid did. Much of that Soviet assistance, however, goes to Cuba. A DEFENSE Department official, who spoke only on condition he remain anonymous, said last week that the situation facing the Salvadoran army was increasingly serious and that the $26 million in military aid approved by Congress for 1983 had already been spent. He said the army was "about to run out of ammunition" and needed a fresh infusion of U.S. military assistance.

Dean James Crowfoot also said that administrators have to reestablish the' school's tenure promotion process - which has been on hold throughout the review - and provide the funds necessary for the school to cope with the overhaul it soon will go through. "I BELIEVE we are establishing positive progress and have some sub- stantial areas of agreement with ad- ministrators," Crowfoot said, "(but) we are going to need substantial help." Bargaining between Natural Resour- ces officials and the central ad- ministration has given the school a temporary reprieve in the review process. Rather than going ahead with a budget committee's recommendation that the school's budget be cut by one- third, the administration will allow the school to study the effects of budget cuts-of 20 percent, 25 percent to 28 per- cent, and 33 percent. Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Billy Frye will then pick the level of reduc- tion he feels is appropriate. (Frye was given his new title of provost in other action at the Regents meeting.) Natural resourceds faculty members have said that a cut of 20 percent is the See DEAN, Page 5 Daily Photo by DEBORAH LEWIS Vice President for Research Charles Overberger cuts the ribbon to open the University's new computer center located in the basement of the Michigan Union.
