dustries as soon as they get their degrees.
THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION has not been so
fortunate, Sussman said. Low admissions in
education graduate school programs caused most of
the over-all enrollment declines in the past five
years, the dean said.
The inability of education students to obtain even
student teaching positions in the last academic year
was led to a lack of incentive in the education
programs, Hooper explained.
One interesting development is that the number of
foreign student applicants has increased by 25 per-
cent while the number of domestic students has
decreased, both Hooper and Sussman said.
SUSSMAN SAID that even though some of the
graduate fields are experiencing tough times, the
"programs have stronger students now." Applicants

ANKARA, Turkey-Rescuers pulled some 800
bodies from the debris of an earthquake-stricken
Iranian town and toiled against time to free another
5,000 people believed buried beneath their homes, the
official Pars news agency said yesterday.
But a spokesman for the governor's office in Ker-
man told The Associated Press in Beirut that the
figures were exaggerated. He said 1,500 were feared
killed.
AIR FORCE helicopters flew tents, blankets and
medicine to the devastated town of Gol Bagh for the
second day. Tehran Radio said more food and water
were needed to aid the town's 40,000 stricken
inhabitants.
The spokesman for the governor's office said 80
percent of Gol Bagh was devastated. Most of the
population lived in mud houses that caved in during
the first tremors Thursday, trapping whole families
in the rubble, he said.

in GSL programs aren't law yet, and that grad
students should continue to apply for aid.
The Senate Committee on Human Resources and
House Committee of Education and Labor have been
busy determining student aid appropriations all
week, Butts said.
A program now being proposed in the Senate com-
mittee could actually increase appropriations for
grad students, Butts said. Members are considering
making spouses and parents of grad students eligible
for parent loans.
A similar support program for undergraduate
students was recently passed in the state legislature.

agency said.
A GOVERNMENT source in Tehran reported by
telephone that the final death toll would not be known
for several days.
Geophysical experts in Ankara said the death toll
almost certainly would have been higher had the
quake that measured 6.9 on the Richter scale oc-
curred a few hours earlier. As it was, most people
were outside their homes when the quake struck
shortly before 11 a.m.
HUNDREDS OF survivors were taken to open
spaces where relief workers set up tents and
"people's kitchens" with government supplies and
public donations, reports from Tehran said.
Medical teams were dispatched to disinfect the
devastated areas, since water and electricity sup-
plies were cut, the reports said.
A quake-measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale oc-
curred in the same region in December, 1977, killing
about 580 people and injuring 1,000 otl\ers.

renditions of worn old blues standards
like "Sweat Home Chicago." The best
thing they played all night was "Little
Queenie," and that's because it was a
Chuck Berry song the band could play
confidently, since they knew it couldn't
fail.
Guitar Johnson and company need
time to develop, to get used to each
other, and to earn enough money to buy
some more equipment (the drums
looked like they had been rescued from
the Salvation Army). But more than
anything else, they need a little
creative gumption, a whole mess of in-
spirational leaps of faith.
I hope they find the missing pieces, if
only to keep that rarity of rarities - a
female blues drummer - employed.
And Guitar Junior is too great a poten-
tial talent to just fade from the scene.
