Two weeks after the first earth quake of Jan. 24, women were still unable to sleep soundly, suffered crying spells, headaches and weight loss, had bad dreams and were con tinually fearful and anxious. Children suffered nightmares and had to sleep with their parents. Some were still too afraid, two weeks later, to go to school. The men, what ever they felt, kept silent.

MIDNIGHT BUTCH & SUNDANCE THE EAXMLY DAYS COLOR BY DsLUXE® ©1979 TWENTIETH CENTUflY-fOX UNDAY 7:30 Responding to a barrage of tele phone calls following the initial Thursday quake and a weekend of two strong aftershocks, the Alameda County Mental Health Services cli nic in Pleasanton quickly organized two-hour seminars in which dis traught citizens could express their fears and anxieties. The first session Jan. 31 drew 38 people. Late last week, a UPI reporter was invited to sit in on a session attended by nine women, all still badly upset by the quake and the much- publicized promise by seismologists of “The Big One” — the major earth quake expected to hit California in this decade. “TV and the newspapers scared the pants off me,” said one older woman, who was seconded by every member of the group. Two days later, on a Saturday evening, an aftershock actually lar ger than the original quake struck again. Several of the women said they had been unable to take showers for fear of being caught naked. One woman with two children said she now carries a flashlight at all times after dark, in case the lights go out. “The common theme that emerges in the sessions is that an earthquake is unpredictable. You are out of control. There is a fear of the unknown, ” says Diane Hall, a county psychiatric social worker who orga nized the seminars. Baker gets time equal to Reagan film scenes United Press International TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — Tele vision station manager Foster Win ters said he never dreamed the Janu- CAMPUS 7:45 & 9:45 xaoo ary airing of “Hell Cats of the Navy " starring Ronald Reagan, would come under FCC’s “equal time” clause. Supporters of Republican hopeful Howard Baker did, however. Following a showing of the 1948 film on WGTU-TV’s “$2.98 Movie” program, Baker’s Michigan field coordinator Julie Weeks asked Win ters to grant the Tennssee senator equal time. “When I first heard about it, I thought we should grant equal time to any candidate who had appeared in a 1948 movie,” Winters said. “But they (the FCC) didn’t see the humor in it.” Winters was told to give the Baker campaign air time equal to the amount Reagan spent on the screen. 1 MANOR EAST 3 J ** MANOR EAST MALL ^ what’s up at Texas A&M Pr< WEDNESDAY THURSDAY HILLEL: Dr. William Hyman will speak on “The Role of Technology in Medical Care” at 7:30 p.m. at the Jewish Student Center, 800 Jersey.

Starr, a botanist from Edmonds, Wash., was working for a Colombian government agency when he was seized Feb. 14, 1977, in the town of La Macarena in the sparsely settled Meta Territory in Southeastern Col ombia. Seven months after the kidnap ping, the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces — a guerrilla group known by its Spanish initials FARC — delivered a statement to a national radio network offering to negotiate for Starr’s release through the U.S. embassy in Bogota. “Richard Starr in in good health and since his capture by the forces of FARC, he has been well taken care of,” the guerrilla statement said. That statement 2-1/2 years ago was the last public word on Starr’s fate, but people close to the case are HIM 3609 Place E. 29th - BryaiT Battalion Classifieds Call 845-2611 Give 'Prioritea' 1 to your Valentine!

Periodic unsubstantiated reports in the Colombian press have said both that Starr is still alive or dead, but it has been impossible to confirm either version. The kidnapping is approaching the grim record of American business man William Niehous, who was held by guerrillas in Venezuela more than three years and four months before being rescued by authorities last June. Starr’s mother, Charlotte Starr Jensen, also of Edmonds, has made repeated appeals to the guerrillas to release her son or at least provide proof that he is alive. “I hope the people that are hold ing you understand the terrible pain and anguish that we suffer, wonder ing how you are and when you will return to us,” Mrs. Jensen si! t United Press message directed to hers* ■ WASHINGTO year.
