2Ths DsHy Tcr HeelWednesday, September 17, 19S0 a. : - ra n 3A fc-j fca - 77-77 , y r TSse Accocteted Press Th Iranian Parliament delayed a full debate Tuesday on the American hostages and in a raucous ::;:cn voted to select a special committee to deal with, the fate of the 52 Americans who were in their 318th day of captivity. The Iranian decision to turn the hostage issue over to a special committee was taken over the objection of seme deputies amid calls for the execution of "spy hosiases." The action, in effect, postponed the awaited parliamentary debate that was to decide how Iran will deal with the hostages. Tehran radio said the Majlis, or Parliament, voted by a decisive majority to refer the hostage issue to a special committee and discussed the number, qualifications and authority of the panel members. No vote count was given. Speaker Hashemi Rafsanjani, who cut off deputies trying to debate the hostage issue said discussions on the new committee will continue when Parliament meets Thursday. But in line with revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's pledge that the parliament would decide the fate of the hostages, Rafsanjani assured deputies that the final decision would be by the Majlis itself. - The parliament session quickly turned into a shouting match as some members demanded a closed session on the issue. Hardline deputy Sayyed Fakhrodin Rahimi said, "We do not need any special committee or a secret session. The spy-hostages must be tried and executed and the non-spy hostages released on conditions." Rahimi echoed a call by the Islamic fundamentalist Tehran newspaper Etielaat that the hostages be tried as spies. Rafsanjani ruled Rahimi out of order and said speakers should stick to discussing procedures for considering the issue. Mohammad - Mahammadi, a member of The Struggling Moslems Movement which has close ties to the militant students holding the Americans, bitterly objected. "Everything should be open to the nation," he shouted. "I am absolutely against any kind of secret session." Rafsanjani twice warned Mahammadi to stop shouting. The proposal for a' secret session was then rejected by the Majlis. Abdolkarim Kumelah argued against a special committee, saying if it were set up it" should only provide evidence on the hostages. He was ruled out of order, but not before he warned, "beware of the United States and do not trust in its moves. Even this recent letter of the hostages' families is a trick by the U.S. government." He was referring to a joint letter made public by the families of all the hostages asking that Iranian officials meet with them to resolve the deadlock. Fifteen deputies proposed that debate on the hostages be suspended "as long as the United States continues its provocations against Iran," but other deputies objected to the idea that the Majlis take no action at all on the issue. . ' During the session, 15 members spoke on the proposal for a special committee, the Iranian news agency said. The Majlis has 270 seats, but not all the seats have been filled because of irregularities in two rounds of parliamentary voting earlier this year. aooengero cocapc-burning plane LONDON, (AP) All 217 passsners aboard a smoldering National Airlines plans slid to safety down emergency chutes Tuesday after flemss suddenly encircled the underside of the Kliami-bound DC-10 jet on takeoff from London's He-throw Airport, officials said. Up to 12 people were reported injured, most of them not seriously. In New York, Jim Arey, a spokesman for Pan American World Airways Inc., which merged with National earlier this year, said one tire blew cut, creating heat and friction and causing several other tires to explode. That touched off what he described as a small fire fueled by rubber and fluids in the undercarriage but quickly extinguished by firemen. 7 Most of the passengers Were American and British tourists, including several young children. The identities of the injured were not immediately known. Dissident leader sentenced to die From page 1 lllO From page 1 records of the legilsators after the General Assembly meets next year. "The Social Services Association is made up of employees in the county departments of social services." Dullard said. "We work with the poor poeple who need abortions but can't get them. "NARAL understands that the majority of people in this country are pro-choice," Piche said. "So we've started Impact 80, a campus and community organizing program aimed at activating individuals who are pro-choice." NARAL's Political Action Committee contributes money to candidates, she said. "Our strategy for supporting candidates is a positive one," Piche added. "We like to support candidates who support us." "I hope we can give enough support to pro-choice candidates," Gray said. "We "want to make people aware of the issues to present the arguments in favor of choice in abortions." Pro-choice forces were successful recently in defeating the Dornan Amendment in the U.S. House of Representatives. The amendment would have prohibited the District of Columbia from using any of its money to fund abortions for poor women. perspective. The report included an aesthetic perspective which required three courses in literature and the fine arts, two of which must have been sequential. Two courses were required in the humanistic perspective. Several of these courses were to be taken during the junior and senior years. In April of 1980, nine subcommittees formed by Williamson to study the report recommended the reduction of the science,' humanistic and aesthetic requirements and added a speech requirement. . During the summer, Williamson and several members of the Committee on rent General Education studied the recommendations, then presented their version of a revised report to the full committee in late August. The full committee has been working since then on the version that will be made public in October. Williamson said though he liked the original report, "The reorganization had to meet with the reality of the number of resources available." At least two student hearings on the report will be held in October, Williamson said. One will be an open forum and the other will have guests speaking on the report.

' . Some students also have been able to get emergency loans through the aid office to tide them over until their checks arrive, she said. "We generally loan $100 to a student," Morris said. "There's not a lot we can do about substantial amounts of money." Morris - said that, emergency funding was limited, but that the delayed checks are coming in every day now. Students are notified by mail that their aid checks have arrived. . "The crunch of the late checks is over," Morris said. "Those students who applied late should have made other arrangements for their living costs before now." I k .

In a six-minute session, the four-general panel also sentenced 23 of Kim's followers to prison terms of three to 20 years each which was almost exactly as the prosecution had demanded. The sentences now go automatically to a higher military court for review, then to the nation's supreme court. President Chun Doo-hwan also will have a chance' to commute Kim's death sentence. Execution in South Korea is by hanging. In a summary of his defense last Saturday against the sedition charges," Kim proclaimed his innocence and pleaded that trials such as his "should happen in this land never again." f;fu m dzsdn tb uH I PJ AVAILABLE III .,... m dS9 f I i 4i.ra six: , a . ;al. . n - J CJ ' M J CI. 4 v 3 eft :j ' s . . , f - I r .

"We have more discussions in Germany, as opposed to lectures," he said. Heering and Brigitte Strauch, also from West Germany, are both majoring in American studies. "Relationships between students and professors are far better here," Strauch said. Pamela Nicholson and Lorraine Wickham . from Australia are both graduate students. They agree on the quality of education at UNC. "It's very different than the university I attend at home," Nicholson said. "It's in the middle of a very large city. I Lke the vllkse atmosphere here much more." Wickham added, "You can tell everybody for us that we do speak English in Australia." Nancy Allen, a local housewife, became a host several years ago.

Kelly, a Morchead scholar from Sussex, England, was pleasantly surprised with his reception here. "The American friendliness is really something else," he said. "People go out of their way to help you. I live cn South Campus, and everyone there seems to be on a perpetual high. Everyone is in a good mood and has a good time. It gets almost oppressive when you're not used to it. It's not all that prevalent in England." Kelly said he originally had planned to attend Cambridge but took the Morchead interview on the advice of this headmaster. "I couldn't refuse four years, all expenses paid," he said. "And the programs here are so much more diverse. I can't believe some of the things an undergraduate can take. It's all very good." Peter Rzeznitzeck, a history and political science major from West Germany said, "Everyone is busy trying to meet and help the students.
