Coed basic training
in Army to end soon
Landers to heed advice: no reruns
United Press International
FORT MONROE, Va. — Men
and women will no longer go
through basic training together
after August because their phy
siological differences make it
impractical, the Army says.
The Army has decided that
basic training companies should
be segregated by sex to ensure
men and women are challenged.
It isn’t that women don’t meet
the standards, the Army says.
It’s just that they don’t meet
them the same way men do.
“The reason for (the change)
is to ensure that the men and
women are challenged physical
ly, to the full potential of their
abilities,” said Capt. Douglas
Haywood, assistant public infor
mation officer at the Training
“We’re not saying that the
women don’t meet the stan
dards. They meet the standards.
What we’re talking about is men
and women being assigned to
separate companies as opposed
to a pure female platoon or a
male platoon withm” the same
company.
The Army decision was made
last month and will take effect
Aug. 30. Some bases are already
phasing in the new requirement.

said men outperform women,

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Eric
Schwibs, a computer science stu
dent at Buffalo State College,
put a quarter in a Pac-Man
machine at 9:45 p.m. and
walked away at 6 a.m. the next
day. He had run up a score of
almost 3 million points and left
the computer game in shock.
Schwibs, 18, got his 2,935,590
points between Saturday night
and Sunday morning before the
Pac-Man machine overloaded
and split its screen.
“I am the king of Pac-Man,”
Schwibs said. His play was wit
nessed by a bartender who kept
a pub open as Schwibs con
tinued to roll up the points.
Schwibs said the computer
twice turned over after reaching
935,590 points, something the
program does because the game
only accommodates a six-digit
number.
However, when his score
reached almost 3 million, the im
age on the screen divided.

He cited a 12-mile road
march, with a full rucksack and a
helmet, as an example.
“Company commanders and

CHICAGO — Ann Land
ers says she saw nothing
wrong with recycling old let
ters in her worldwide advice
column, but now that a small
town publisher objects she’ll
stop the practice.
Barbara Sancken, a repor
ter for Illinois’ Pontiac Daily
Leader, was compiling the
paper’s “Remember” column
— a daily digest of newspaper
excerpts from years past —
when she found letters dating
back to 1966 that seemed very
familiar.
Over a period of several
months, she came up with
more than 30 letters from
1966 and 1967 that ran again
in 1981 and 1982.
She showed the rerun let
ters to James Pearre, the
newspaper’s publisher, who
called Landers Monday.
Pearre said the columnist
admitted the letters were old
material, but told him she be
lieved the letters “sharply
illustrated certain points of
continuing concern to today’s
readers.”
Landers told Pearre she
saw “no harm in presenting
the old material as new, and
she didn’t think the readers
would care,” he said.
But Pearre said he objected
to old letters and advice being
recycled and the first lady of
problem-solving devised an
immediate solution — she
promised to stop the reruns.
Pearre said Landers’ ready
agreement impressed him,
adding the Leader will con
tinue to run her column, as it
has for 24 years.
Landers said later in
ten statement she re•us(^ ,
letters occasionally,
added, “It had notoccuni
me that this would bet
