'M' diver Bruce
Kimball makes

Olympic
From The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - University diver
Bruce Kimball qualified for the finals in
the Olympic 10-meter platform yester-
day with a score of 602.64, good enough
for fourth place. The finals will be held
today.
Kimball got one perfect score of 10.0
and took an early lead over Greg
Louganis during the four-dive morning
session of cumpulsory dives. He fell to
the number four spot behind China's
Tong Hui in the optional portion of the
meet.
LOUGANIS FINISHED first with a
10-dive total of 688.05, breaking his own
platform record of 687.90. Li
Kongzheng of China finished behind
Louganis at 615.69.
Kimball received a perfect mark
from one judge on his second dive, an
inward one and a half somersault from
the pike position. The junior picked up
52.80 points on the dive and kept
Louganis in second place for the mor-
ning session.
Kimball, a six-time platform cham-
pion, joins 11 other divers in the finals.
Though he has defeated fellow
American Louganis in the platform
nine times since 1980, Kimball is the
underdog in the competition. Louganis
has not lost in international platform
competition since 1980.
KIMBALL WAS not the only Univer-
sity athlete to do well at the Olympics
yesterday.
In the 1,000-meter kayak singles,
University graduate Greg Barton won
the bronze medal yesterday. He
finished behind double-gold medalist
Alan Thompson of New Zealand and
Milan Janic of Yugoslavia.
On Thursday, former University
track star Brian Diemer captured the
bronze in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.
Julius Korir of Kenya won with a time
of 8:11.80 and France's Joseph Mah-
moud took second in 8:13.31. Diemer's
time was 8:14.06, his fastest time by
almost three seconds.

Two performers work the hands of a large puppet of Abel near the School of
Music yesterday at the annual Ann Arbor Medieval Festival. The
performers were participating in a play called "Cain, My Brother."

The grounds around the School of
Music were magically transformed
yesterday into a medieval festival of
dance, theatre, music, and crafts.
The festivities were part of the four-
day Ann Arbor Medieval Festival.
The annual event features medieval
instrument makers, wood carvers,
basket weavers, plays, and medieval

swordplay. The festival opened in
West Park last week.
LAST APRIL, however, it looked as
if the festival would never get off the
ground due to a lack of organizers,
according to administrative director
David Bernstein. But the committee
took the proceeds from last year's
event and combined them with

"In the city, there is not fighting, but there is awful
terror. You will never know if civilian police are
walking behind you, or with you," said a Salvadoran
refugee who came to the U.S. as a tourist two years
ago. In six months, he will become of of the 50,000
illegal aliens taking refuge in this country.
Saul Mendoza spoke in front of about 25 people at
Wesley Hall on E. Huron Street Friday night in a talk
sponsored by the Latin American Solidarity
Committee (LASC). He said the problems in El
Salvador have not ended with the election of
"Christian Democrat" President Jose Napoleon
Duarte in June of this year, as President Reagan has

claimed.
"THE GOVERNMENT doesn't care about the
people, only the army," Mendoza said. "Ten minutes
out of the city, you begin to see barefoot people living
in cardboard shanties."
And with the millions of dollars in military aid the
United States is sending to the Salvadoran
government, the violence in the country can only
become worse, Mendoza said.
Laura McCloskey, a member of the LASC, said
Duarte's victory did not improve El Salvador's
situation because his opponent Roberto D'Aubuisson,
who has been linked to the country's death squads, is
