The Off-Campus Students Association and Hassle-Free are spon- ioring a barbecue from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. April 21 in the Grove. In ase of bad weather, the meal will be in Room 201 of the Memorial tudent Center. Tickets to the barbecue, catered by University Food ervice, will be sold in advance only. OSA and Hassle-Free are separate University organizations that epresent and provide services for off-campus students. They have een negotiating a merger for the last six weeks. Kay Evans, OSA vice president for University relations, said the o organizations wanted to sponsor an event on campus especially :or off-campus students and their parents. “Our purpose is to provide a service for the University as well as for [the off-campus students. This way people won’t have to rush back to ampus if they want to attend the Singing Cadets’ Concert at 8,” vans said. Evans said there will be seating for 200 people. “We hope people ill eat, visit a little and move on. We want to encourage a casual tmosphere as this is not a formal dinner.” University Food Service does not normally cater events outside of he MSC, but Jay Maynard, assistant director of food services, said an xception was made for the barbecue because it’s a special case. Maynard said this wasn’t an expansion of services or a change of olicy — they just wanted to help the organizations draw the off- ampus students to the campus. It is against University Food Service ules to have an event on campus catered by an outside business. Each plate will cost $3.10 and include barbecued beef and sausage nd all the trimmings. Tickets are on sale at the MSC box office through April 19. Tickets ill also be sold April 18 and 19 in Harrington student lounge and in he MSC. Evans said tickets can also be purchased by sending a check to the MSC box office by Friday, April 13. These tickets will be at the gate purchasers to pick up before the barbecue.

Somoza, who met in a quiet hotel room Monday with a cluster of local reporters, said he had no doubts he would be returning home Monday after visiting four of his children in the United States. “Yes! Absolutely, yes!” he said with grin. The president said he maintains contact with his government and is not particularly concerned about heightened guerrilla activity in his absence. “They will try to utilize my ab sence for publicity purposes, but the country is under control.” Fresh figting broke out Monday along Nicaragua’s southern border with Costa Rica. Military sources said the national guard suffered new casualties. A government news paper said 28 Sandinista guerrillas were killed in four different battles Sunday. There also were reports late Monday that rebels had cap tured most of the northern city of Esteli. But Somoza said he is confident his government will not be over thrown. “I think the people who are trying to overthrow the government of Nicaragua are throwing their last cards now,” he said. “They have been at it now for eight months without any success and this is what I think is their last push.” He said he was in the Kansas capi tal for a two-day unofficial visit with his 26-year-old son, Julio, a student at Washburn University. Somoza indicated it was one of several quiet visits to Topeka in the past two years. He said he then would fly in his twin-engine jet to Florida to meet with three of his other children. Somoza discounted rumors he took his vacation because of the re cent push by rebel forces and dis missed any parallels with the depar ture of the shah from Iran before that country fell. “Let’s say that the shah left Iran, taking a vacation to, sort of, not hurt his feelings so much,” he said. “But I am the president of Nicaragua and didn’t make any deal with anybody and they’re not hurting my feelings, I’m coming here to see my son. “There is no parallel between the Iran situation and the Nicaraguan situation. First, I am an elected president. The shah was a dynasty.” Somoza said although he has promised to conduct an election in 1981, he said the Sandinista rebels — which he estimated at less than 0.5 percent of the population — are not content to wait. “First let’s look at the nature of whom we re talking about. We’re talking about Communist, Marxist, Leninist guerrillas who have no real popular backing in Nicaragua and who would never make a dent in the ment by force and establishing a electorate of Nicaragua. So they in- Marxist, Leninist state in sist on overthrowing the govern- Nicaragua. Wednesday Night 7-12 ITEXAS HALL OF FAM presents “The Debonaires 5 5 AGGIES GET IN WITH CURRENT I.D.
