Saying he was angered "that certain people belittled the danger you were in," Reagan welcomed nearly 500 of the 550 students of St. George's University Medical School to a White House ceremony at which student represen- tatives presented him and American servicemen with tokens of ap- preciation.

"I've wondered how many of them would change places with you,'' Reagan said. Presidential spokesman Larry Speakes said afterward he thought Reagan might include some of his congressional critics among the "smug know-it-alls," but that Reagan was not aiming his remarks at the news media. "THEY KNOW who they are," the The White House brought ten veterans of the Grenada landing from each of the four armed services to sit in the front rows as Reagan praised the military men for their bravery. The students, virtually all of whom were in Grenada after being refused admission to medical schools in the United States, now are being divided upI to finish the semester at fair facilities in New York, New Jersey and Barbados.1 The St. George's school may be1 re-established in Grenada next year.

T PILOTrQs&nw Uner The rolflngba l 7CNth Latin Resth*n Wnt6/m LANSING (UPI) - The state lottery raked in a record $221.3 million for the state's schools in fiscal 1983 and expects the take to be even richer in the current budget period, officials reported yesterday. The lottery, under review by a legislative committee and criticized for earning much of its revenue from low- income people, made the announ- cement at a Capitol news conference featuring Commissioner Michael Carr and Barbara Roberts Mason of the State Board of Education. MASON NOTED the money, while it represents a small portion of the $1.9 billion spent on education, covers the cost of special education, vocational education, as well as most of the expen- se of busing. Lottery revenues have been ear- marked for the schools since 1981. Mason expressed little enthusiasm for legislative proposals which would return lottery revenues to the com- munities where they are generated. "MORE IMPORTANTLY, we need to take a look at what local school districts need," she said. "Some districts need more funds (from the state) than other districts." Gross lottery sales totaled $549 million, up 4.1 percent from the previous year, with 58 percent of the agency's income coming- from the "Daily 3" game. Winning players received $269 million in prize money, with the largest payout totaling $2 million. "WE EXPECTEDto do substantially better than that in the next year," Carr said. This coming spring, he noted, the lot- tery plans to introduce the lotto-type game which has proven "so popular in some eastern states." In the lotto-style game, the pot can build from week to week if there is no winner, with the final payoff in the multi-million dollar bracket. ON another subject, Carr said he does not believe the state should legalize slot machines and other forms of gambling until it has "conducted a thorough study into all of the ramifications." And he responded to Racing Com- missioner William Ballenger's com- plaint that the lottery gets more money for advertising than horse racing, even though it pays less to bettors. Ballenger "is a very good racing commissioner and ought to stick to racing," Carr said. The lottery and the racing office can- not be compared because the latter is "a regulatory agency and their business is not necessarily to actually raise money for the state," Carr said. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Electric company charged in Three Mile Island cover-up HARRISBURG, Pa. - A federal grand jury indicted Metropolitan Edison Co. yesterday on charges of covering up by "trick, scheme, and device" falsified records at Three Mile Island before the 1979 accident at the nuclear plant. U.S. Attorney David Dart Queen said at a morning news conference the grand jury returned an 11-count indictment against MetEd, which operated the nuclear plant when it was the site of the worst commercial nuclear power accident in history. The indictment, which named no people, stemmed from an investigation by the grand jury, Queen's office, and the FBI. The maximum fine for convic- tion on all counts would be $85,000, Queen said. The grand jury, which reportedly completed its three-year probe last week, found that between October 1978 and the March 28, 1979 accident, the company violated provisions of its operating license, Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations and a federal law against making false statements. Fighting closes Beirut airport BEIRUT, Lebanon - Shiite Moslem gunmen fought Lebanese soldiers near U.S. military positions yesterday, wounding a Marine and forcing authorities to close the airport for the first time since a truce took effect six weeks ago. The Syrian government ordered a full mobilization of the 220,000-man army, saying it feared an attack from the United States or Israel. But the Americans and Israelis said there were no attack plans. In northern Lebanon, Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasser Arafat's loyalist guerrillas, trapped in their last Middle East stronghold by advancing Syrian-supported mutineers, fired rockets and mortars at rebel positions to counter a barrage of hundreds of shells. Police said 1,000 people have been killed and 3,000 wounded since the PLO war began Thursday. Andropov's ahbence from parade spurs rumors of serious illness MOSCOW - President Yuri Andropov was absent from the annual military parade through Red Square yesterday, persuading Western diplomats that he has more wrong with him than the cold cited by the Soviets. It was believed to be the first time a Communist Party chief has missed the event, which marks the anniversary of the-1917 Bolshevik revolution that brought the party to power. On Saturday night Andropov failed to attend a gala Kremlin session opening the celebrations. Several Western diplomats said they were certain a more serious illness kept Andropov from appering at Lenin's Tomb to review the parade, which featured a pronounced anti-American theme. There was no official mention of Andropov's absence, and television cameras, in a break from usual practice, did not show the leaders on the red granite and marble tomb until some 15 minutes after the live nationwide coverage began. Reagan readies for trip to Asia WASHINGTON - President Reagan, preparing for a six-day journey to Asia, said yesterday he would like to see Japan militarily strong despite con- stitutional restraints on its forces. He said he would station more U.S. forces in South Korea if necessary. The president leaves Washington today on a 15,650-mile trip to Japan and South Korea, underscoring U.S. determination to remain a military power in the Pacific as well as frustrations with Tokyo over trade problems. Extraordinary security was readied in both countries. Japan mobilized a 90,000-member protective force and South Korea put its military on higher alert. Presidential advisers decided Reagan should go ahead with the long- planned visit to the Far East despite the turmoil in Lebanon and the U.S. military involvement in Grenada, Deaver said in an interview. "It's a4eeisiontwe thought about and we-have determined that because of 1 the overriding importance of these countries, on balance he should follow 1 through on his plans," said deputy White House chief of staff Michael Deaver. Ma Bell seeks record rate hike WASHINGTON - Even though $1.5 billion worth of telephone rate increases already have been approved in 1983, additional boosts totaling more than four times that amount are pending before regulators in many states. A survey by The Associated Press, conducted over the past three weeks, identified a record $6.7 billion worth of proposed rate increases across the country, filed by either Bell System companies or independent phone com- panies such as affiliates of GTE Corp. The effects of the rate increases, if granted, would vary widely from state to state and customer to customer. They are defended by telephone executives as essential to reflect faster depreciation of equipment; to earn larger profits to attract investors, and to shift to more efficient pricing - charging customers on the basis of use, as is the case with natural gas or electricity. "With the removal of subsidies from our industry, it's really important that our prices be based on our costs - that the individual services pay their own way," says Tom Leweck, a spokesman for General Telephone of California, which has a $221.1 million rate boost pending. "Our entire rate design in this case is geared toward accomplishing that." In 17 states, including Michigan, there are no pending rate boosts for local services because local regulators granted increases earlier this year. ;4 Linen Center KW & THE BEDROOM The holidays are coming, and so are the guests.
