Waite, the 6-foot-7 Anglican Church envoy, was last seen by reporters Jan. 20 when he left the Riviera Hotel in west Beirut to meet the kidnappers of two Americans. Since then, Waite has not contacted the church or his family. The taxi drivers, who spoke on /condition of anonymity, told the Associated Press they saw Waite walking with his escorts in a street close to the Lebanese capital's airport highway at about 3 p.m. yesterday.. "I saw him smiling and waving his hand to onlookers as he walked. He wore a gray raincoat," said one witness. "I stopped my taxicab to watch, but the escorts waved me a - way, shouting: 'Don't stop. Drive on.' I did." Waite wore a raincoat when he was last seen by reporters. Another taxi driver said he saw Waite at the same time in the same procession, smiling and waving his right arm to onlookers on the left side of the street. Both drivers work in the neigh - borhood of the Riviera Hotel, where Waite stayed between his arrival in Lebanon on Jan. 12 and the time he dropped from sight Jan. 20. Waite came to Beirut to try to win the freedom of foreign hostages. A total of 26 foreigners, including eight Americans, are missing and presumed kidnapped in Lebanon. Many are believed held by Shiite Moslem cap - tors. The taxi drivers said that before Waite's disappearance, they had fre - quently seen him walking on the beach or traveling in a motorcade. "I haven't the slightest doubt a - bout his identity. I know him and I saw him this afternoon," one driver said. There have been a spate of conflicting reports about Waite. In West Germany, the mass- circulation newspaper Bild quoted unidentified "Beirut security circles" as saying Waite was shot and cri - tically wounded after he tried to es - cape from captivity in Lebanon.

Protesters condemn nuclear testing ._ By JIM BRAY About 200 demonstrators protesting Monday's nuclear test in Nevada held a 1,000 balloon "mushroom cloud" and a ten-foot sign proclaim - ing "Stop Nuclear Testing" at a rally in the Diag yesterday . Rallies nationwide were planned to coincide with the test, however testing was unexpectedly moved to Monday. It was the first time a United States nuclear test commenced ahead of schedule. As a result of the test, the Soviet Union said it would resume nuclear testing, which it had stopped in August 1985. The Soviets declared they would continue nuclear testing after the first U.S. test in 1987 - after extending the moratorium which was never honored by the United States.

By STEVE BLONDER This week marks the one-year anniversary of the University's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center which was created in response to "a concern about sexual assault on campus and the fact that nothing was being done about it," according to the center's director. What was once at the bottom of a "wish list" submitted to Vice- President for Student Services Henry Johnson, the center is cited as the reason for heightened awareness of sexual assault on campus and additional educational programs. ACCORDING to Steiner, the center concentrates on three main areas: education, services for survivors of sexual assaults, and coordinating efforts to deal with aspects of physical safety on campus. "The approach taken by the University in response to the problems of sexual assault on campus is unique. We are providing services for survivors in addition to sponsoring educational programs," Steiner said. "Most other schools are not taking this comprehensive way of dealing with safety concerns; they are using one approach or the other A lishm Owl discussion of sexual assault, developing and running acquaint - ance rape workshops, and instituting safewalk, and emergency telephones on campus. While Steiner does not think that the center has solved all of the problems of sexual assault on campus, she says "we've made a good effort, people are now thinking about the issues." Jennifer Akfirat, an LSA senior who assists Steiner, said "the hardest thing to deal with is the recently shown an interest in getting involved at the center. At a recent mass meeting, for example, twice as many people showed up as were expected. Heading Steiner's agenda is establishing a Crisis Intervention Center with a 24-hour line, trained counselors, and people who can accompany a victim to a hospital or police station. The only existing center is the county center which Steiner says is overloaded and far from campus. EVENTUALLY, the center would like to have a different sexual assault awareness program on campus every month. Also, the center would like to talk with parents and incoming students at summer orientation sessions. Akfirat said the center is involved with an off-campus safety committee which is evaluating the needs of the many students living off campus, including an even further expanded Nite Owl service.
