( —national i llM ,, . — ■■mi i t Reagan to visit Europe \ President to travel United Press International WASH INGTON — President leagan will travel to Europe in une to attend the Economic ummit at Versailles, take part i a NATO meeting, and visit ’ope John Paul II at the Vati can, an administration official says. Reagan is tentatively sche duled to depart June 4 on the week-long journey — his first overseas trip as president. The Economic Summit — a follow-up to last summer’s Otta wa meeting of top officials of the Western industrialized nations — will be held June 5-6 and will involve the leaders of France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Japan and Canada. While in Europe, Reagan also will attend a two-day NATO meeting to be held June 9-10, possibly in Brussels, the official said. Reagan is expected to spend several days in Paris. It was understood he is particularly in terested in persuading the gov ernment of French President Francois Mitterand to play a big ger role in NATO. The president also intends to fly to Rome for a meeting with the pope. Reagan and the pon tiff correspond regularly and have talked on the telephone ab out the martial law crackdown in Poland. They also have an affin ity stemming from their com mon experience in surviving assassination attempts last year. Other stops might be added to Reagan’s itinerary. His only previous trips out of the country as president have been to Amer ica’s neighboring nations — for summits in Ottawa and Cancun, Mexico. “different spokes for different folks” 403 University (Northgate) Open 10-7 Mon.-Fri. 10-5 Sat. 846-BIKE EARN OVER $900 A MONTH.

Is It Still Around? Carpooling... it seems to be a forgotten term. The Off Campus Center has for some time made available a rideshare program; however, the program has not had a great number of participants. We know there is a need for ridesharing: many forms of off campus housing are not on the shuttle bus route, parking is extremely limited on the A&M Campus and the cost of gasoline is skyrocket ing. And yet, the interest in ridesharing is still low. What we need is your cooperation. We need a population to work with. If you have ever thought about carpooling, come by the Off Campus Center and complete a card stating your name, ad dress and schedule. From there we will attempt to sup ply you with suggestions of students, staff and faculty who live in similar areas with similar schedules. We want to offer this service to you.

Most managers and owners of complexes want to keep their property in good condition but some times they are slow to fulfill their responsibilities. If you have repairs that need to be made, there are a few steps to follow to help get the job done in a fair amount of time and with the desired results. Do not withhold rent as you will lose your rights as a tenant under Texas law. Before you begin, read your lease. The lease will state who is responsible for repairs and maintenance. Not all leases require that the owner make repairs. However, in most cases your lease will outline the procedure you need to follow to initiate the repair process. The first and most important step is to submit your repair request in wriring. A work order filled out by the manage ment is not usually sufficient. Make a duplicate copy of your request and have the manager sign and date both copies. Be sure to keep a copy for yourself. If the manager refuses to sign the request for repairs and you anticipate problems, send the notice by certified mail. This costs about $1.55 at any Post Office and includes a returned receipt showing that the manager received the notice. The signed request is not only to verify that the manage ment received the request, but also serves as your copy in case you wish to take action if repairs are not made. It is not a promise that the repair request will be fulfilled. After written notice has been provided, you must wait a reasonable amount of time. Reasonable time depends on the nature of the problem. For example, cracked plaster and a leak in the ceiling would necessitate repair quicker than a leaky faucet. Repairs requested at peak move-in times may require more time due to an increased number of requests. Holidays should also be considered when defining "reasonable time." Three to four working days is a good guide to use if regular maintenance personnel can do the work. If you still are not getting results, submit a second written notice. Again, have the manager sign both copies and keep a dated dopy for yourself. If you would consider moving, and your lease gives you the right, indicate your intent to terminate your lease unless repairs are completed within one week's time. This time period will vary from lease to lease. Upon submission of your second written notice, set up an appointment with the Student Legal Advisors. You cannot force the management to make repairs. Your only alternative may be to move. Make sure you are proceeding legally before moving out. Remember, you cannot with hold rent to force repairs. The Off Campus Center urges you to come by our office any time you have repair problems. You are the best information resource and working with you can help us provide better service to students. We are located in Puryear Hall. Stop by or call if you would like an appointment. 845-1741. Battalion/Page 10 February 1, 1982 Iran: CIA asked F n< Bani-Sadr to spy United Press International WASHINGTON — The CIA tried to recruit Abolhassan Bani-Sadr as a $ 1,000-a-month agent before he became presi dent of Iran, according to alleged secret U.S. documents captured in Tehran, the Washington Post reported Sunday. The report was based upon papers supposedly pieced together by Iranian revohu tionaries who seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979. The newspaper reported the docu ments eventually were used to depose Bani-Sadr from power. Bani-Sadr, now living in ex ile, confirmed to the newspaper that he had met with an Amer ican who proposed paying him $5,000 per month. “I told him to go away,” he told the Post. The CIA declined comment. Hamilton Jordan, former President Carter’s chief of staff, said he was “not aware of any effort by a government agency, the CIA or otherwise, to recruit Bani-Sadr.” The documents cited did not mention Bani-Sadr by name. The documents are reported to be included in volumes of re ported secrets the militants put back together and are now for sale at corner newspaper kiosks in Iran. U.S. authorities seized volumes being brought into the United States by three journal ists. get Fg at the U.S. Embassy had I reconstructing the tiny strips ? shredded papers believed toil CIA cables and matched L’ : with the description of ant: y identified man with the co:.j t j { . s are con jroposed disn jartment of E United Prei , , I|V ASHING man with the ccqjjf s are name of “SDLure-1,” the Pc>j reported. According to the reports, a CIA agent named Vernon Cas- sin, operating undercover as a businessman employed by an American consulting firm, met with Bani-Sadr in Paris and Iran three times in 1979. Cassin cabled after the final meeting that Bani-Sadr was ambitious and politically astute and had a promising political fu ture.’ “An individual with the access he enjoys should be able to fur nish information of value in the period ahead,” the cable said, according to the Post.

LOUIS — A meteorite the size of Delaware smashed into the Earth eons ago, touching off stupendous volcanic eruptions that caused the continents to form, says a researcher. Klaus J. Schulz of Washing ton University believes the colli sion started the chain reaction that changed the Earth from an enormous glob of interstellar putty into a shining sphere and also started the formation of the continents. Schulz, a fellow of the univer sity’s McDonnell Center for Space Sciences, also said he be lieves he has tound evidence of a 1,700-mile-wide crater far be neath the forests and lakes of central Canada. “The problem with gathering direct evidence of ancient meteoroid impacts is that Earth, being so hot, took surface mate rial and reprocessed it,” said Schulz. “Earth melted the rock and regurgitated it many, many tinies.” Schulz and two other resear chers at Western Illinois Univer sity and the U.S. Geological Sur vey say they believe a crater re sembling the enormous scars on the moon lies far below the area tment su] solar, en jjasu: energy lology and ( Bis. ■‘The adm commend th; , about zero-1 J snpugh moi out,” the t between the mouth of HuowK^j Bay and the Great Lakes.
