" No Credit Requirements! * Parent OR Student Can Sign for Loan! IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS U.S. hostage freed in Lebanon CONCORD, N.H. - The Rev. Benjamin Weir, one of seven Americans kidnapped by Moslem gunmen in Lebanon over the past 18 months, was reunited yesterday with his family on American soil after being secretly released over the weekend. President Reagan hailed the release of Weir but stressed he "will not be satisfied" until six other Americans are freed from captivity in Beirut. Word of Weir's freedom was withheld in hopes the others might also be set free. White House spokesman Edward Djerejian said Wier was released Saturday to U.S. authorities in Beirut and secretly returned to the United States. Doctors reported that Weir, who was abducted near his home in West Beirut on May 8, 1984, was "in very good mental and physical condition," Djerejian told reporters in Concord. Reagan declares disaster in four central Michigan counties LANSING - President Reagan has issued a major disaster declaration covering Genesee, Lapeer, Saginaw and Alcona counties, the governor's office announced yesterday. The declaration was requested last week as a result of flooding which began Sept. 5th. The declaration makes several forms of aid available, including low- interest loans, grants and temporary housing assistance. State officials and representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency are to meet in Flint today to discuss the assistance program in detail. Aides to Gov. James Blanchard have said they believe private and public damage to the area totaled about $63 million. FEMA officials said four deaths have been linked to the flooding and storms. U.S. teen reading skills improve WASHINGTON - The reading ability of 17-year-old students improved in the past four years after a decade of stagnation, but 9- and 13-year-olds have stopped making progress, a federally backed testing agency said yesterday. At all three age levels, pupils read better now than in 1971, the National Assessment of Educational Progress reported, and the biggest gains have been registered by blacks and Hispanics. But "The Reading Report Card," a study based on tests administered to 250,000 school children over the past 14 years, also dramatized the big gap remaining between minorities and the white majority. The average black and Hispanic 17-year-olds can read "only slightly" better than the average white 13-year-old, it said. It graded reading on a five-step scale - from rudimentary to basic to intermediate to adept to advanced. Secretary of Education William Bennett called the findings "good news and bad news." "We are not raising at present a generation of illiterates," he told a news conference. "Virtually all of our children possess rudimentary reading skills sufficient to follow simple directions...and respond to easy questions." Growth shots tied to illness BOSTON - An outbreak of rare, fatal infections among people who received human growth hormone injections raises "the ominous possibility of a burgeoning epidemic," government researchers report. In the past year, four people have died from the rare illness, known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Experts believe they were victims of a slow- acting virus, which may take years to develop, that unbeknownst to scientists was contained in their hormone shots. "There is absolutely no way to predict what is going to happen," said Dr. Paul Brown. "The only thing that's going to tell us is the unrolling of several more years." "My instinct tells me that there is not going to be an epidemic of major proportions among this population," Brown added. "But that is instinct, not science, and I'm just hoping." The growth hormone, derived from the pituitary glands of cadavers, has been given to 11,000 people over the past 22 years to prevent severe short stature. Patients take two or three shots a week for several years. A synthetic form of the hormone, produced by genetically altered bac- teria, has not yet been approved for routine use. Police kill three in S. Africa JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Police yesterday shot and killed three people - including a 10-year-old boy - near riot-torn Cape Town, where a new police chief with a reputation for toughness assumed com- mand this week. More than 50 people have been killed in the Cape Town area since rioting broke out Aug. 28. The unrest was triggered by a government ban on a planned protest march to the prison where African National Congress leader Nelson Mandela is in the 23rd year of a life sentence for treason and sabotage. Throughout South Africa, more than 700 people - all but five of them black - have died in yearlong black protests against the white-minority government and its policy of apartheid, or racial segregation. Police reported the arrests'of 62 people yesterday in 16 incidents near Cape Town, Pretoria and Johannesburg. Charges ranged from stone- throwing and arson to illegal assembly and distributing pamphlets, police said. 01he fittgt aly Vol XCVI - No.11 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the Fall and Winter terms.
