"Today, Hail to the Victors is the number one basketball hit parade song," Bush said. "Mission impos- sible? Yours has been a mission ac- complished." A portable basketball hoop was set up in the Rose Garden before the Fisher's son Mark, and players J.P. Oosterbaan, Rob Pelinka, and Mike Griffin. ceremony, and Bush escorted Robin- son over to demonstrate his skill. "Now this may not be regula- tion," Bush said as Robinson sighted on the basket, removed his coat, and lofted the ball in. Next it was Bush's turn. He sank his free throw the first try. Michigan Coach Steve Fisher on behalf of the university's basketball staff gave Bush a "Michigan No. 1" jersey. Fisher and his wife were guests of Bush at a state dinner last Thursday night, and ended the evening walking the White House dog with the presi- dent and Mrs. Bush. "I think the pride that surrounds this city and White House is indica- tive of what all of us strive for, to be champions and to be number one," Fisher said after the ceremony. "We feel fortunate, but proud, that the hard effort and work that we put in allowed us to be here." The team left the White House for a luncheon hosted by the University of Michigan alumni Club and more sightseeing before a recep- tion on Capitol Hill sponsored by Rep. Carl Pursell, whose district in- cludes the university, and other Michigan members of Congress. Michigan's senators and representatives gave the team a signed copy of a resolution, printed in the Congressional Record, prais- ing their accomplishment. The team gave the member of Congress a large composite photograph showing scenes from their games. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Gorbachev calls for calm in Georgia MOSCOW - President Mikhail Gorbachev appealed yesterday for calm in Soviet Georgia but rejected the demands of local nationalists and blamed them for igniting lethal strife he said had damaged his drive for reform. These were the Soviet leader's first direct public remarks on the unrest since at least 19 people were killed Sunday in a clash between pro- independence activist and security forces. The summary of Gorbachev's remarks blamed "actions by irresponsible persons" for the loss of life, apparently exonerating soldiers and police from any official blame. In the city of 1.2 million, 900 miles south of Moscow, strikes continued-and funeral services were planned for those killed. Zurav Zhankarashvili, a Tbilisi resident and member of the Georgian human rights watchdog organization Helsinki Watch, called Gorbachev's appeal "very dry," and expressed doubts it would be enough to ease tensions. Shelling increases in Beirut BEIRUT - Moslem and Christian forces tuned their howitzers on residential -areas of Beirut yesterday, killing 12 people in a withering attack that began on the eve of the civil war's 14th anniversary. The leader of the Christian army said the fighting had reduced Lebanon to "a cadaver in a coffin" and urged the superpowers to help end the fighting. The shelling duel was the fiercest since the Arab League called a cease- fire in Lebanon a week ago. It broke out a few minutes after a group of right-wing Christian politicians left Beirut for more peace talks in Kuwait. The sudden barrage, which shattered an overnight lull, took civilians by surprise and forced them to rush back to bunkers and underground bomb shelters. Police said 12 people were killed and 38 wounded in the daylong bombardment that targeted Moslem and Christian residential districts in the capital. Oil may be decreasing in bay VALDEZ, Alaska - Aerial surveys showed "significantly less oil visible on the water" after two days of high winds and rough seas broke up much of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Coast Guard said yesterday. Off the coast outside Prince William Sound, where the tanker ran aground on Bligh Reef and lost more than 10 million gallons, observa- tion flights found little more than patches of light sheen and spots of thick crude mousse, said Coast Guard spokesperson Brad Smith. But state officials disputed that account. An overflight they conducted Tuesday in poor visibility spotted a medium sheen of oil around Chugach Islands and Barren Islands on the edge of the Cook Inlet, which leads to Homer, Kodiak Island and Anchor- age. Smith said only small amounts of sheen and frothy mousse were ob- served in various areas of the southern part of the sound, but some islands and bays remained heavily oiled. Group campaigns to use can deposit fee for environmental purposes LANSING - A coalition of conservative groups, saying unclaimed bottle and can deposits belong to the people, launched a petition drive yesterday backing a measure to use those deposits for environmental projects. Thomas Washington,. executive director of the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, said the estimate $30 million a year in unclaimed deposits will provide a permanent source of funds for cleaning up toxic waste sites. Money unrefunded when consumers fail to redeem their bottles and cans for the 10-cent deposits now is held by beer and wine wholesalers and soft drink bottlers, Washington said. EXT RAS Editors discuss cartoon problems WASHINGTON - About 100 newspaper editors sat down after breakfast Wednesday - about the time millions of their readers were turning to the comic pages - to discuss whether "Cathy" should be po- litical and what to do when the kids grow up in "For Better or Worse." Serious issues these, so there wasn't a single outburst of laughter when members of the American Society of Newspaper Editors attended a convention workshop on what funnies they print. How serious? Well, the people who draw the comics are referred to as "artists." Among those who review their works for the syndicates that sell the newspapers are lawyers, who have a field day with "Doonesbury," and editors, who sometimes must negotiate with an artist to tone down a character's off-color language. "Pulling a strip draws so much attention to it and you as a censor, that you're reluctant to do it," reported Marty Claus, managing editor for features and business at the Detroit Free Press.

"You don't have ethnic pressure among Blacks to pursue tennis. It's still seen as a white man's sport," he said. Ashe said the fact that tennis is played in the spring, along with the more popular sports of baseball and track, contributes to the dearth of minority tennis players. Fusion Continued from Page 1 although the isotope exists only in minute amounts in sea water. The concentrated deuterium solu- tions can be made with a hydroelec- tric dam, and it is therefore not a permanent problem, Becchtti said. Another problem involves the availability of palladium, which acts as a catalyst in the reaction. Though it is not used up in the reaction it is rare and expensive, Becchtti said. . 5 0% 1 /r1 DAVQ I OFF Parking Tickets Tickets received before > Jan.1, 1989* are eligible.
