Page 12 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1981 National Attorney plans marches in Rapides United Press International ALEXANDRIA — An attorney fighting to integrate the public schools in Rapides Parish plans to lead blacks in two marches, one a late observance of Martin Luther King’s birthday and the other a demonstra tion of committment to desegrega tion. Attorney Louis Berry, who has waged a 15-year legal battle to inte grate the area’s schools, said Monday the marches would reaffirm the values of the civil rights movement. The first march, to honor Martin Luther King’s birthday, was sche duled for Sunday, Berry said. While the rest of the country honored King last month, Berry and other Rapides black leaders were in feder al court fighting attempts to dodge a judge’s controversial busing plan. “You’ve had the ultraconservative elements in this community who said again and again that blacks and whites are against this plan,” Berry said. “This march will show blacks’ commitment to try to finish the job of integration in these schools. ” A lawsuit filed in 1963 by Berry and attorney Spencer Torry was fought in the courts for 15 years be fore U.S. District Judge Nauman Scott last August issued his complex order desegregating public schools. The controversial order spurred a series of protests beginning with a “squatters school” formed by parents in rural Forest Hill and culminating in the confrontation over the “Buck eye Three.” State Judge Richard Lee backed those three white girls in their fight to remain at all-white Buckeye High School for several months although MSC TOWN HALL Presents: Monday, Feb. 16, 1981 Rudder Auditorium 7:00 p.m. Ticket Prices: Zone 1 $9.75 Zone 2 $9.00 Zone 3 $8.25 M9C HOSPimiTY PREsem/i THE g‘EGO e \‘D eftWVUcft'L c&nSS ‘T'EXcftS 5\&cM SG c HO‘LcA e RS e H‘I t P *PcAQ g EcA e fll < T February 20& 21, 1981 7:00 pm Rudder Auditorium Tickets available at the MSC Box Office 11.50 students 13.50 non-students FEATURING: 20 Lovely Fmoli/t/ Bobby Barnett HTlike Higgin/ Scrapple flggienizer/ Singing Cadet/ 1980 Miss TAMU Kelly mcElroy Mistress of Ceremonies Linda Sue Franci/ Master of Ceremonies Danny Fordyce OUR DIVERSITY MEANS WE HAVE MORE TO OFFER If you were given only one word to describe the Guy F.

Berry said next month’s march, whose date has not been set, will feature Georgia state Sen. Julian Bond speaking on the problems fac ing blacks across the country. Pentagon gets criticism in stealth information leak LSD-Mickey decals going to schools United Press International WASHINGTON — Information about the supersec ret stealth aircraft was disclosed last summer to bolster President Carter’s re-election chances, not to limit the damage of news leaks, a House subcommittee report said today. The Armed Service subcommittee draft report said the Pentagon does a “deplorable" job of keeping secrets and urged “a total revamping of Defense Department procedures for the protection of classified security infor mation.” “The release of information about stealth in the for mal press conference was done to make the Defense Department and the administration look good in an election year, and not, as claimed, for the purposes of damage limitation,” the report said. A probe into Defense Department procedures began in August, spurred by Rep. Robin Beard, R-Tenn., after press leaks about the planned stealth aircraft, which is supposed to be invisible to enemy radar. The report, written by the subcommittee staff and based on hearings and other work, was to be presented to the investigations subcommittee at a meetingli When news reports about stealth appeared last mer, Defense Secretary Harold Brown held a conference to confirm the project was underway, He said he confirmed the project’s existence to mize damage that would have been created by lin news leaks. The subcommittee’s draft report rejected argument. “The release of this information in a formal conference was a serious mistake and did serious age,” the report said. “The press conference gave the Soviets informal far more value than was contained in the earlier leal amounted to official confirmation, which is fen helpful to the Soviets in making their own i about where to make their responses than are i firmed rumors.” The report commented, “The status of the r for protecting secrets in the Pentagon is in c _ shape and desperately needs a total overhaul.” United Press International BOSTON — The seizure in Brat- tleboro, Vt., of nearly 100 Mickey Mouse decals laced with LSD has prompted New England authorities to warn parents and teachers to be on the lookout for the "very dangerous” items. Police in several New England states said Monday they have re ceived reports for months dealers are selling the decals — similiar to the small lick-and-stick tattoos — to high school students. Reagan campaign audit say spending limits overshot I Vermont State Police Cpl. James Cronin said the "very dangerous” decals valued at $1,000 were confis cated in a raid at a house in Brattle- boro. A suspect, who was not identi fied, was ordered to appear in court after the raid. The postage-sized decals, each with a drop of LSD on the back, show a picture of Mickey Mouse dressed in a red gown as a sorcerer’s appren tice. The Vermont decals were similiar to those that surfaced in the Hanov er, N.H., area last year. United Press International WASHINGTON — A govern ment audit showed Monday that Ronald Reagan’s primary campaign made more than $200,000 in illegal expenditures — much of it by ex ceeding the legal spending limit in the New Hampshire primary. If the Federal Election Commis sion adopts the,audit results, the Reagan campaign will have to repay the illegal expenses to the govern ment. The audit showed that the Reagan campaign exceeded two federal spending limits. First, it exceeded the $294,400 legal spending limit in the New Hampshire primary by $137,737 — nearly half again the amount permit ted in that state by law. In addition to that, the audit showed that the Reagan campaign exceeded the $14 million national Wow! What a Fantastic Bud Vase Order Yours Feb. 4-12, Commons 9 A.M.-4 P.M.

Under the Watergate-inspired campaign reform act a candidate can not spend in any one state an amount greater than 16 cents times the vo ter-age population of the state. The limit is not a problem in most states, but is critical in New Hampshire, the site of the nation’s first primary. In 1980 Reagan scored a key vic tory over George Bush in New Hampshire — reversing the out come of the Iowa caucuses the month before. The audit found several major con flicts with the way the Reagan cam paign allocated its New Hampshire spending. The campaign used a motel in Andover, Mass., 10 miles from the New Hampshire border, as its base for the New Hampshire campaign. It charged the cost of the lodging, char tered buses and other carai items to the Massachusetts kilj The campaign used adveraB Boston radio and television st to appeal to New Hampshirev but charged only a small pera of that advertising bill to the I Hampshire campaign. TheaudW these funds should haveld charged to the New Hampsli budget. ' The audit said the Reagan conui tee had total national reccipti $20,572,043 and spent $17,757, About $3 million of the expendiltj were for fundraising, legal I accounting services and are I fore not counted in the $14 n spending limit.
