CAREERS
A: The foodservice industry employs
more than eight million people, making
it the nation's leading retail employer.
The industry as a whole has weathered
the recession remarkably well and
stands poised on the brink of rew
growth. The National Restaurant
Association projects that the field will
need 250,000 new employees each year
to keep pace with its expected expan-
sion.
Salaries for a manager range from
approximately $15,000 to $126,000 a
organization earns from $19,000 to
$55,800,-while the chief executive officer
can earn $100,000 a year, plus many
benefits and perks.
The most direct route into restaurant
management is to get a bachelor's
degree in food service management.
But liberal arts students are not out of
the running, if they are willing to get
experience in the field. This is where all
those part-time jobs at McDonald's and
summers serving dinners at a resort
come in handy.
Careers will appear every Saturday.

Terrorist claims Soviet
link in Pope's shooting
ROME (AP) - Turkish terrorist
Mehmet Ali Agca, in a surprise encoun-
ter with journalists, said yesterday that
Soviet secret police and "Bulgarian
services" took part in the attempted
assassination of Pope John Paul II.
Agca, who is serving a life prison
term for the 1981 shooting of the pontiff,
made the allegation as he emerged
from police headquarters where he had
been questioned in another case.
The independent Italian news agency
AGI quoted Agca as saying, "I have
been several times in Bulgaria and in
Syria .. . And in the attack against the
pope even the KGB (Soviet secret
police) took part."
In film shown later on national
television, Agca again was asked who
was involved in the attempt against the
pope, and if they included the KGB. He
said, "Yes, the KGB."
It was the first time Agca spoke to
reporters about the plan to kill the
Polish-born pontiff, who was seriously
wounded when the Turk shot him as he
was visiting pilgrims in St. Peter's
Square on May 19, 1981.
Earlier, Italian press reports had
said Agca told investigators the plot to
kill the pope involved Bulgarians acting
under instructions from the Soviet
secret police.
In the unexpected exchange with the
journalists, Agca was asked if he knew
Sergei Ivanov Antonov, an official of
the Bulgarian national airline who was
arrested in Rome last November on
charges of complicity in the shooting.
"I knew Sergei, he was my accom-
plice," Agca said.
Antonov, 34, has denied involvement
in the attack, but investigators have
told reporters they believed he had
played "an active role" in the attem-
pted assassination.
Antonov's lawyers immediately filed
a complaint against officials for
allowing Agca to speak with reporters
on matters involving cases under in-
vestigation.
Press reports have speculated that
the Russians wanted the pope
eliminated because of his support of
Poland's outlawed Solidarity labor
union.

United Press International reports
State jobless rate rises
LANSING - Michigan's adjusted unemployment rose from 14.9 percent to
15.2 percent last month, running counter to the national trend and disappoin-
ting some economic observers.
Two top government economists, however, disagreed yesterday on
whether the increase indicates Michigan is lagging behind what is generally
recognized as a national recovery.
Michigan's unadjusted joblessness dropped from 14.7 percent to 14.6 per-
cent.
Nationally, adjustment unemployment dropped one tenth of a point to 10
percent. Michigan's rate was the highest among the nation's 10 largest
states.
Michigan Employment Security Commission director S. Martin Taylor
said conditions were fairly stable. Manufacturing employment was virtually
unchanged, while there was seasonal growth in construction, retail trade
and service industries.
Federal Court bans 'squeal rule'
WASHINGTON - A federal appeals court yesterday struck down the
Reagan administration's controversial "squeal rule" that would require
federally funded clinics to tell parents when their teenage daughters get bir-
the control aids.
In the highest court ruling so far on the issue, the U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-
peals for the District of Columbia declared the "regulations are unlawful"
because they "contravene Congressional intent."
A three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
upheld U.S. district judges in New York and Washington who had barred
such a rule from taking effect early this year.
Judge J. Skelly Wright, writing for the court, noted the regulations "are at
the center of a great whirlwind of public controversy."
Congress clearly wanted teenagers to be able to seek birth control advice
in confidence, the court said. To require that parents be notified, Wright
said, would "undermine both Congress' specific policy of confidentiality and
its overriding concern about the escalating teenage pregnancy rate."
Five hostages freed in Sudan
KHARTOUM, Sudan - Sudanese troops stormed a rebel camp in southern
Sudan yesterday and freed five hostages including two Americans held cap-
tive for two weeks, the Sudanese news agency reported.
The report said 18 of the rebels and one soldier were killed, but all five
hostages "are safe and in very good health." It said they are in Juba, a
regional capital in southern Sudan.
Army troops "conducted a successful military operation early yesterday
morning against outlaws in Boma, southern Sudan, and safely freed all
hostages," the agency said.
The hostages were captured June 24-25 with six others, including a mother
and her three children and two mission planes, near the Boma National Park
by a group calling itself the Liberation Front of Southern Sudan. The other
six were released with one of the planes on June 27 and flew to Nairobi,
Kenya.
The guerrillas threatened to kill the remaining hostages unless they were
given the equivalent of $95,000 in Sudanese currency, shoes, shirts and pants
for 150 men, medicine and publicity for their rebellion against the Sudanese
government. But they repeatedly postponed their deadline.
Reagan seeks openness in
campaign book controversy
WASHINGTON - President Reagan said yesterday he would take any ap-
propriate action, including firing members of his staff, if the Justice Depar-
tment finds "any evidence of wrongdoing" during his 1980 campaign.
Earlier, he ordered senior aides to "cooperate fully" with the probe, and
said, "everyone in the administration, including myself, is available for
questioning" by the FBI.
The president, leaving for a weekend at Camp David in mid-afternoon,
said he told aides during a surprise appearance at their morning meeting
that "we must get the truth" over how his campaign obtained a debate
briefing book and after documents from the Carter White House.
"I told my staff that I wanted everyone there to hear directly from me that
they were to make themselves available to add any information whatsoever,
take it and tell it to the FBI, the Justice Department," Reagan said.
Palestinians protest for Arafat
MIDEAST - Helmeted Israeli riot police hurling tear gas and firing shots
into the air charged a crowd of rock-throwing Palestinian demonstrators
showing support for guerrilla chief Yasser Arafat yesterday after Moslem
prayers in Jerusalem.
The violence on the Temple Mount - venerated by both Moslems and Jews
- flared hours after military authorities fired the Palestinian mayor and
city council of Hebron and clamped an around-the-clock curfew on the West
ank town.
The agency said the demonstration in Jerusalem's walled Old City was in-
tended to show support for Arafat in his flight to retain control of the PLO.
