That would be the first step in establishing a foundation for Korean Studies. Nam helped organize a 1984 meeting when Korean faculty, students, and community members expressed interest in a Korean Studies Program. In building a resource for a proposed program, Nam said the society has bought Korean-language books and newspapers for the Asia Library in the Graduate Library. APPROVAL for a program in Korean Studies would ultimately have to come from the University Board of Regents. Before it could reach the regents, however, the LSA Curriculum Committee and then the LSA Executive Committee would have to approve it. LSA Associate Dean for Curriculum Jack Meiland said that once he has a proposal the approval process could take two or three months, and the amount of money the University might give to the program would depend on its depth. "We are certainly willing to take a serious look at a proposal" for a Korean studies program, Meiland said. volved in long distance relation- ships. Herold discussed problems students have encountered besides the physical ones: ."loneliness, insecu- rity about the commitment of the other, doubting one's own commit- ment, feeling left out of the other person's life, temptations in the here and now, and financial handicaps." Ted Kennedy, also a first year LSA student, has a girlfriend of six months at St. Mary's Notre Dame. "It's hard unless you visit often enough. If you're not there it's hard to be as understanding as you would have been," Kennedy said. "LONG distance relationships are something you have to work at to be successful, but if you try hard enough it works," said Jennifer Fos- ter, a first year LSA student. One of the problems Foster has encountered in her long distance relationship is that "sometimes I am more inter- ested in what I'm doing and he's more interested in what he's doing." Herold, at Counseling Services, said that when the couple eventually unites, "it takes a while to get used to being together." In addition, she said the couple can have enormously high expectations which often can- not be met. Robertson's girlfriend, Patty Condit, who is at the University of Dayton, disagrees with Herold: "I always feel really comfortable when I see him. Everything has always worked out great," Condit said. But this is probably because the two get together almost every three weeks, she said. AND LONG distance relation- ships don't have to be tears and dial tones. Helen Wintergarten, an associate professor at the School of Social Work said long distance relation- ships place fewer demands on a day- to-day basis "unless the person is mooning or pining." In addition, she said, students pay more attention to their school work because their beau isn't a constant distraction. Robertson and Kennedy agree that as a result of missing their girl- friends, they have met more people than they would have otherwise. "WE ARE both growing more independent than we would have if we were going to the same school. It makes us more sure of what we have," Pearson said. "Now we don't fight that much. We have a deal that we both have to be in a good mood when we talk," Foster said. On the lighter side, Kennedy ex- plained one benefit resulting when physical components aren't trans- mitted through a telephone wire. "When you kiss on the phone you can't get any sexually transmit- ted diseases," he said, laughing. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports Cubans riot, hold hostages in federal detention center OAKDALE, La. - Cuban prisoners who rioted after they found out they might be sent back to Cuba held more than 20 hostages in a smol- dering federal detention center yesterday and demanded that they not be de- ported, authorities said. The center was surrounded by hundreds of law officers after the riot left 23 people injured Saturday night. "We haven't gone in. They are holding hostages. We are trying to ne- gotiate for their release." said Luenette Johnson, a spokesperson for the center run by the Bureau of Prisons and the Immigration and Naturaliza- tion Service. Meanwhile, 17 Cuban inmates in Laredo, Texas, escaped from a me- dium-security detention facility early yesterday by climbing through a steel roof grating. Authorities recaptured all but three of them. Budget cuts need GOP support WASHINGTON - House Speaker Jim Wright (D-Texas) predicted yesterday that the $76 billion deficit-reduction plan will win congres- sional approval, but only if President Reagan persuades members of his own party to back the negotiated pact. Reagan announced Friday that White House and congressional negotiators had worked out an agreement that cuts the deficit this fiscal year by about $30 billion and in fiscal 1989 by $46 billion through higher taxes, an increase in fees for many government services and sales of some public assets. Later Friday, the president signed an order putting $23 billion in au- tomatic federal spending cuts under the Gramm-Rudman law into effect. Guerillas celebrate cease-fire with El Salvadoran leaders SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Leftist guerrillas yesterday an- nounced a unilateral cease-fire to celebrate the return to El Salvador of two opposition political leaders after seven years in voluntary exile. Ruben Zamora, vice president of the Democratic Revolutionary Front, said he and Guillermo Ungo, the front's president, will explore the pos- sibility of resuming their political struggle inside El Salvador. Zamora arrived Saturday from Mexico. Ungo is due to arrive from Mexico today. Five 'chiefs of the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, or FMLN, in a message delivered to The Associated Press, said their troops stopped fighting Saturday afternoon after Zamora's arrival. The democratic front is the political ally of the FMLN. Iran says it shot U. S, choppers NICOSIA, Cyprus - Iran's navy commander claimed yesterday his forces fired on four U.S. helicopters that tried 4o stop a gunboat from in- tercepting a Greek freighter in the northern Persian Gulf. U.S. Navy officials in the gulf denied the attack. But shipping ex- ecutives, speaking on condition of anonymity, said an Iranian gunboat fired on the 29,108-ton Greek vessel Jimilta and searched it for suspected Iraqi-bound cargo. No damage or casualties were reported. Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency, monitored in Nicosia, claimed the U.S. helicopters "dispersed" after the shooting Saturday. It did not say if any were hit. Shipping sources said meanwhile that the Iranians attacked another Greek-flagged vessel yesterday in retaliation for Iraqi bombing runs on Iranian tankers. EXTRAS Libels dim Lantern, 12-12 The Michigan Daily Libels salvaged a 12-12 tie against the Ohio State Lantern in the annual heated football rivalry, but not without cost. "It was so cold, the snot froze in my nose," said University Editor Kery Murakami, who played almost two entire minutes before collapsing on the sideline. During the game, columnist Fat Al was passed up on the sidelines. Weekend Magazine Columnist John Logie almost fell off the goalpost after climbing up for no apparent reason after the game. A Tartan Turf administrator scolded Logie for his actions. The Ohio State newspaper staff took an early 12-0 lead, but an Arts Editor Brian Bonet pass to Photographer John Munson and a Bonet 10-yard run tied the score in the closing minutes. Daily Editor-in-Chief Rob "Bruce" Earle was not fired after the game. By Steve Knopper If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY. 4 I LSA-SG, Rackham, (Continued from Page 1) the representative seats. Students First Rackham candidates Corey Dolgon and incumbent Gus Teschke won two of the three open seats, with independent Andy Bressler picking up the third. In the closest of all the races, independent engineering candidates Jacqueline Martin, Brian Cook, and Change candidate Aaron Williams edged out Change candidate Dan Tobocman and Students First candidate Darren Lane. The new assembly representatives will begin their terms at the Dec. 2 TUESDAY LUNCH FORUM N at the INTERNATIONAL CENTER - 603 E.

BOTH referendum questions seeking to amend the assembly's constitution were defeated. The first question, if passed, would have enabled non-MSA members to serve as vice chairs of MSA internal committees. Currently, only as- sembly members may serve as chairs or vice chairs of the internal committees, such as the Budget Priorities and Rules and Elections committees, while any student may be committee members. The question received a majority of the votes, but failed to garner the necessary two-thirds to be enacted. The second question - defeated 649 to 538 - sought to lower the quorum restriction for the assembly's steering committee from the present two-thirds to one-half of the body. THE LSA Student Government elections had no surprises. Barb Eisenberger and Trisha Drueke ran n positions unopposed on the SAID ticket for the presidency and vice-presidency and won easily, while all 11 SAID candidates for the 15-member ex- ecutive council won seats. The other four seats went to independents, among them newly elected MSA representative Jonathan Aaron. LSA-SG candidate Kenneth Bassey's name was originally left off the ballot, but election officials caught the error and had new ballots at all the poll sites by 4 p.m. Wednesday. Votes cast on the near 300 incorrect ballots were discarded. In a relatively calm Rackham Student Government election, representatives were elected from four of the five divisions. Mary Cromwell and Ed Delhagen were elected from Division I; Ed Hellen and Rob. Raskin from Division II; Brian Burt and Matt Schultz from Division IV; and Michael Peterson and Pamela Applebaum from Division V. 41 b Spo TI a New Course Announcement Statistics 470: THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS Instructor: E. Rothman 1442 Mason Hall Prerequisite: Statistics 402, or 412 or 426 or permission Lecture Time: M-W-F 9:00-10:00 AM, plus an hour of recitation The objective of this 4-credit course is to introduce students to the process of planning, designing and implementation of a study. Includes Monte Carlo, observational and controlled randomized experimentation. Emphasis is on the conceptual framework not on the mathematical theory of design (e.g., ;Statistics 570). Motivation for introducing the topics selected for this course is provided by the W. Edwards Deming ~philosophy. Deming is a statistical consultant, whose teachings, especially in regards to the quality of mass produced items, have gained widespread acceptance especially in Japan. Shultz works out details (Continued from Page 1) aids accompanying Shevardnadze. In Moscow, commentator Tomas Kolesnichenko wrote in Pravda, the Communist Party daily: "As always happens in these cases, 'technical problems' at the last stage always take on more importance. For that reason, obviously, there arose the necessity of a new meeting" between Shultz and Shevardnadze. Talking to reporters aboard his U.S. Air Force jet before a refueling stop in Shannon, Shultz said he planned to seek Soviet support for an arms embargo against Iran and a timetable for withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. The United States has delayed trying to push a weapons cutoff through the United Nations Security Council because of concern that the Soviets might block the move with a veto. Think You're Pregnant?
