4 Page 2-Saturday, March 5, 1983-The Michigan Daily Salvadorans warn of plot to kill Pope IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports From AP and UPI SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - A guerrilla suspect has told security for- ces there is a plot to kill Pope John Paul II when he visits El Salvador on his Central American tour, a military spokesman said yesterday. The pope arrived in Marxist-ruled Nicaragua yesterday and was met with a bitter atack on the United States for using "blood and fire" to deny human rights in the region. SALVADORAN Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Alfonso Eusebio Cotto told a news conference that security agencies have "indications" that 18 sharpshooters entered the country recently with the mission of assasinating the pontiff during his 10- hour visit here Sunday. Cotto said security agencies got the information from a guerrilla suspect who was hit by a car trying to flee cap- ture by detectives and died soon after. he said that before the suspect died, he told his captors about the plot and tur- ned over to them a breakfast cereal box with 18 passports of the alleged assassins inside. HE REFUSED to give further details. Leftist guerrillas burst into two radio stations in the capital yesterday and forced disc-jockeys to play tape- recordings accusing the government of trying to "sabotage" the pope's visit. The tapes claimed the sabotage "could possibly go as far as attempting against the pontiff's life as was done with Monsignor Romero." Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero was shot dead by a sniper while saying mass three years ago, and the killing is generally attributed to a rightist assassin. In Nicaragua ruling junta coor- dinator Daniel Ortega read a 25-minute- long speech, praising the Sandinista revolution and strongly attacking,what he called the "distorted policy" of the United States in Central America. "Holy Father, you visit a Central America shaken by hunger and thirst for justice of the people, and by the powerful who with blood and fire deny the people these rights," Ortega said, raising his voice repeatedly.

The Choats met on a blind date at the dorm when both were un- dergraduates at the University. Last night they celebrated the event by sponsoring a blind date party for Newberry residents. Students face grim outlook in job market (Continued from Page 1) Gold prices continue free fall NEW YORK-Gold resumed its free fall on world bullion exchanges yesterday, at one point dropping as much as $25 an ounce to reverse a mild recovery from an earlier 20 percent plunge. Analysts said uncertainty over OPEC's ability to resolve differences among its members renewed investor fears that oil-producing nations would unload gold to make up for lost petroleum revenues. Just two weeks ago, before a bout of frenzied trading began, bullion stood at $505.70 a troy ounce in contracts for current delivery on the New York Commodity Exchange. After a weeklong selloff, gold descended to $400.50 an ounce at the close of trading Monday, but then rebounded to wind-up at $430.30 Thursday. But yesterday the selling resumed, and gold tumbled as low As $405 by midafternoon as unconfirmed reports of heavy selling from the Middle East circulated among traders. By day's end, gold inched back to close at $417.60 on the Commodity Exchange. "It's wild," said Larry Schoen, chief bullion dealer at Rhode Island Hospital Trust National Bank at Providence, a leading gold trader. "Everybody is a tot more nervous and a lot more jumpy." OPEC meets in last minute attempt to avoid price war LONDON-All 13 OPEC members will meet in London Monday to try and clinch a deal to avert a global oil price war, the United Arab Emirates oil minister said yesterday. After a two-day meeting of eight OPEC members, several ministers ex- pressed optimism yesterday that a settlement could be reached but said there was still no agreement on price or production cuts. Among the five OPEC members not at the meeting was Iran, which has vowed to fight any cut in the current OPEC benchmark price of $34 a barrel and is reported demanding an increase in its production quota. Tehran radio, monitored in London yesterday, quoted Prime Minister Mir Hoseyn Musavi as warning against "a conspiracy to bring down the price of oil." He was quoted as saying the conspiracy was aimed at cutting the revenues Iran needs to fight Iraq. There has been discussion of a $4 cut in the benchmark price. A $4 drop would have a little effect on retail gasoline prices in the United States. Nearly two-thirds of the oil used by"U.S. refiners already is priced at $30 a barrel. Texas tub deaths may be linked HOUSTON-Investigators have found no hard evidence linking the deaths of three wealthy women found dead within a 72-hour period in bathtubs in their fashionable westside homes, a detective said yesterday. But detective J. C. Mosier said there are obvious similarities in the cases and detectives "will not rule out the possibility that the cases are connec- ted. " The latest victim, found Thursday night, was Elizabeth Faubus, 44, estranged wife of former Arkansas Gov. Orville Faubus. Her nude body was found in a bloody, water-filled bathtub in the master suite of the large home where she lived alone. Mrs. Faubus and the other two victims, Ruth Kottler, 61, and Bertie Elizabeth Eakens, 74, were all smothered or asphyxiated, Mosier said. Mrs. Kottler and Mrs. Eakens both were found were fully clothed and face- down in their bathtubs Tuesday. Storms thunder into Southwest A Pacific storm that ravaged California for six days rammed into the Southwest yesterday with tornadoes and thunderstorms and snow over the mountains of Colorado, Arizona and Utah. Remnants of the storm spawned heavy rains in the West and Northwest, causing minor flooding in parts of Oregon and Idaho. The California storms, which killed at least 17 people since last week, damaged 4,000 homes and 350 businesses, the state office of Emergency Ser- vices said. Damage to public property was estimated at $75 million, and damage to private property at $98.2. Elsewhere, warm temperatures were reporte'd across much of the Mid- west and mid-Atlantic states, with an 81-degree reading in Richmond, Va., tying a record set in 1974 and a 75-degree reading in Cleveland breaking the 74-degree record set in 1976. EPA head loses support 4 1:, 4 students' attitudes about employment over the past four or five years. "Students seem to be a little more stable and more oriented toward school and work," he said. Counselors at the Student Em- ployment Office agree. "WHEN I first started working (at SEO), students would hold off for higher paying jobs or jobs in their major. Now it's the reverse," said counselor Caroline Newberg. "Before, the economy was better (and) more financial aid was available," Newberg said. "(Now) more students are needing to work to meet educational expenses." But students confronting the bleak prospects of the Ann Arbor part-time job market should not be too discouraged, the managers said. With persistence - and a dose of luck - students will succeed in finding work. "PERSISTENCY is the thing that gives them (students looking for work) a chance," Cummins said. "It's someone who repeatedly comes in who sticks in my mind. And it depends on how desperate you are. If you are desperate, you hostess. If you are desperate, you wash dishes." Musser echoed Cummins' advice to be aggressive and suggested that students expand their search beyond the campus area to improve their chan- ces. "If a student is really looking for work, he can usually find it, but he must be persistent," he said. "You can never have too many good employees." STUDENT Employment Office staff said job-hunters should not be shy about advertising their professors, friends, department offices. search through and at University Q Iiurrb Wtlrsi ip ErUIEE0 FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 1432 Washtenaw Ave., 662-4466 (between S.

Kathy MacLeod, a junior in engineering is searching for a second part-time job to help pay school expen- ses. She said she has found several openings through word of mouth. Others are havng a harder time. Joe Blask graduated last fall with a degree in linguistics and has been job hunting for four months. Blask is worried about being able to pay his rent and the government loans that are now due because he has graduated. "My lease is like a ball and chain around my leg and my loan is like a rope around my neck," he said. RIeview courses don't raise SAT scores (Continued from Page 1) "WE GIVE them tests so they can get used to the pacing and techniques," he says. "Each question-is selected so it can introduce a topic to be reviewed . . . . It's 95 percent im- provement of the verbal and math knowledge and reasoning processes." The Harvard study was embraced by the Education Testing Service. "These findings are consistent with the interpretation of the ETS," said Robert . Solomon, the service's executive vice president. "The special coaching isofmarginal value. The SAT measures basic skills of reading and math that are important in school suc- cess. The best preparation is simply a good education." The Harvard researchers noted a wide variation in the results of studies done over the years. But generally they found that the more scientifically the studies were performed, the less likely they were to find a significant advan- tage from coaching. SOME STUDIES compared the per- formance of youngsters who received coaching with that of a carefully mat- ched group who took the tests without tutoring. Others compared the coached students' scores with the average of all pupils who took the tests. Their analysis discounted the less sophisticated studies and found: "Vir- tually all coaching programs can be expected to offer positive benefits for both math and verbal studies, although the real gains are likely to be small-around 10 points and almost certainly less than 15." Winton Manning, a former Education I 3 CATHOLIC OPEN HOUSE All Catholic Churches WASHINGTON-Anne Burford struggled to keep her job as chief of the En- vironmental Protection Agency yesterday as the Justice Department decided it will no longer defend her contempt of Congress case and two top Republicans called for her departure and "a clean sweep" at EPA. Rep. Bob Michel, the House GOP leader, and Sen. Robert Stafford of Ver- mor", chairman of the Senate Environment Committee, both said the EPA administrator should be replaced as recognition that the agency was in trouble. Burford's closest aides reacted with shock to the Justice Department decision, and some read it as a sign the administration is turning up the pressure to try to force her to resign. The EPA administrator let it be known through aides that she thinks President Reagan had received poor advice through the three month battle over EPA documents subpoenaed by Congress. The comments marked the first time that Burford or her aides had not spoken in concert with White House officials.
