roups to host
assle-free meal
or day students
By LORI SCHULER
Battalion Reporter
Two Texas A&M University organizations will try this year to re
ive the restaurant waiting lines that usually occur following Aggie
uster.
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.

Nicaraguan president to return home

Somoza says U.S. visit just a vacation
United Press International
TOPEKA, Kan.— With a grin,
Nicaraguan President Anastasio
Somoza discounted rumors his vaca
tion to the United States was an es
cape from heavy rebel attacks
against his government.
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.
