EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (AP) - Six astronauts overcame
'broken equipment yesterday, fired
;Columbia's rockets and started a
bjazing descent to Earth with a cargo of
science treasures gathered in a record
1F-day shuttle voyage.
The pinpoint landing on a dry lakebed
;rpnway came at 3:47 p.m. Pacific time
nearly eight hours later than NASA
had planned.

landing was ideal, with light winds and
only a few scattered clouds.
For the first time, the shuttle ap-
proached its landing from the north-
west. The glide path carried it over the
Aleutian Islands of Alaska, across the
U.S. coastline 80 miles north of San
Francisco, directly over Fresno, then
20 miles east of Bakersfield and on into
Edwards.
The touchdown ended a mission that
began Nov. 28 with a launch from the
Kennedy Space Center in Florida as
Columbia, returning to the sky for the
first time in a year, carried aloft the $1
billion, European-built Spacelab in its
cargo bay.
COLUMBIA landed weighing 110
tons, heavier than any of the earlier
shuttles.
The landing delay came after a
powerful jolt shuddered through the
craft early yesterday morning,
followed by the failure of a computer

MSA PRESIDENT Mary Rowland,
saying she was glad to know that such a'
clause already existed, added that "a
lot of work needs to be done" in
establishing equality for gay and
lesbian students. She said MSA would
try to "let students know" that this is
part of their constitution.
Jim Toy, gay male advocate for the
University's human sexuality office,
said the success of such a proposal
today if it had made it on the student
ballot, is hard to predict. In 1977, "the
political climate on campus was more
liberal than it is today," he said.
Toy also said that while the increased
conservatism among students might
work against such an amendment, the
increased awareness and education of
students to homosexuality in recent
years could have worked in the amen-
dment's favor.

FORMER Lebanese Prime Minister
Rashid Karami, Tripoli's elder
statesman, said in an interview in
Damascus he had assurances that
Arafat would leave Lebanon under the
terms of an agreement finalized Wed-
nesday.
"According to the agreement, all the
fighters, along with Abu Ammar, will
withdraw except for those who were
already present on our territory
(Tripoli and north Lebanon). Those
may choose to remain," said Karami.
Karami said the agreement did not

Arafat has been trapped in Tripoli
since Nov. 3 by Syrian-backed guerrilla
mutineers who accuse him of softening
his stance toward Israel. One of his
aides said in Tripoli yesterday that
discussions are under way with Italy
and France to arrange a multinational
escort during the sea evacuation.
