The application deadline for the 1991 Truman Scholarship has been extended to Nov. 5, and juniors may now apply for one of the 82 scholar- ships to be awarded this year. The Harry S. Truman Scholar- ship Foundation - instituted by Congress in 1975 as the official fed- eral memorial to honor the 33rd president - recognizes Truman's "contributions to the nation, com- mitments to public service, leader- ship, and interest in education." In addition to extending the app- lication deadline, the foundation has raised the maximum award from $28,000 to $30,000.

University students who are fans of the game show Jeopardy! may be surprised to see a familiar face during next week's "Tournament of Cham- pions." Graduate student Erik Larsen, a student in the School of Information and Library Studies, qualified to compete in the week-long, $100,000 tournament by winning five games earlier in the season. The tournament begins airing Monday, Nov. 5. The tournament was taped one week ago, Oct. 22 and 23, but Jeop- ardy! policy forbids Larsen from re- vealing if or how much he won.

"It will be worse for America, worse for our children if we do not reduce this lingering, pervasive deficit now," said budget panel's ranking Republican, Sen. Pete Domenici of New Mexico. With two of the White House of- ficials who helped negotiate the plan watching from the visitors gallery - Chief of Staff John Sununu and Budget Director Richard Darman - opponents objected that farmers would be hit too hard and that the measure imposed a new burden tax- payers do not need. "You're going to see the work- ing, struggling people of this coun- try will be hit by increased taxes and fees," said Sen. Trent Lott (R- Miss.) But after 10 months of inten4 and partisan warfare, exhausted law makers said it was time to close the deal.

University officials said it was too early to tell what kind of action the University will take to cope with delayed funding. "I'm afraid it's too soon to an- swer that question," said Gilbert Whitaker, University provost and vice president for academic affairs. Whitaker said the problem will be discussed soon.

Weber and Rinne said the protestors then entered a conference room inside CP&P, where Public Safety officers Patrick and Pifer guarded a back hall to the CIA repre- sentatives' interviewing room. Weber said the protestors entered the hall and Patrick kicked Marcuse in the groin. Rinne said Marcuse kneed Pifer between the legs from behind and threw him on the floor, and "rushed" Patrick. Rinne said the protest was "peaceful," but Marcuse "was ag- gressive." "Patrick protected himself by kicking Marcuse," she said. Marcuse asked Detective Barbour to arrest Patrick, Weber said, but Barbour arrested the student for as- sault and battery. City Assistant Prosecuting At- torney Ron Plunkett later charged Marcuse with a second case of as- sault against Pifer in a criminal case which preceded the present civil suits. ition assistance money from em- ployers under the Employer Provide Education Assistance program. "We're very pleased," Butts said. "With all the complexity of the pro- cess it's good to see with these 'small' issues Congress was able to look out for the interest of students." Plunkett ultimately dropped the case on the day of its trial, April 14, 1988, Weber reported. "The criminal case was droppe5 by the city because Marcuse was tr ing to turn it into a political circus," Rinne said. University counter-plaintiff attor- ney Peter Davis could not be reached for comment.
