national Battalion/Page 10 February 25,1983 Chicago candidate gets death threats r jU ]-ii United Press International I CHICAGO — Harold Yashington, candidate for nayor, is stepping up security as 1-5 result of death threats he has : Received. jn Washington won a three-way ! democratic primary, defeating .-♦layor Jane Byrne and State’s ,!;o\tt0rney Richard Daley. He is Hphe; favorite to defeat Republi- | Bernard Epton in the April election. He would be the ci ty’s first black mayor. “We have had several threats,” Washington campaign manager A1 Raby said Wednes day at a news conference. Washington had planned to attend the event but canceled abruptly. Police scrutinized press credentials before admitting re porters to the conference. The tenor of the event was reminiscent of Washington’s election-night security prob lems, which delayed the delivery of his victory speech while he was brought down a hotel freight elevator and through a kitchen to his headquarter’s bal lroom. Raby said threats had been re ceived before Washington defe ated Daley and Byrne. More threats were received after the voting Tuesday, he said. He would not detail the na ture of the threats but ascribed them to sick people. “It is dangerous to be a public figure in this country now,” said Raby, a long-time civil rights activist. Raby did not directly link the threats to racial tensions that marred the final days of the Democratic mayoral primary. However, many observers have speculated bigotry might lead some Democrats to support Epton in the general election to prevent a black man from be coming mayor. Both Epton and Washington have declared their intention to disavow race as an issue. )(, FLU TREATMENT IS HERE A study using the new drug Ribavirin is going on at the Beutei Health Center If you have Flu Symptoms - Fever - Muscle Aches - Chills - Sore Throat Come to the health Center within the first 24 hours of illness and ask for the Flu Doctors (day or night-Flu Fighters don’t sleep) HOCH You may win a paid vacation (about $112.00) in the Health Center Dr. John Quarles 845-1313 What’s Up Friday JUMPROPE FOR HEART:The Physical Education Depart ment and the American Heart Association are sponsoring a jumprope for heart fund raiser on March 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in 303 East Kyle.

The Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of I ! It all started in 1927, when a young visionary, Ed Link, began designing a system of learning to fly without leaving the ground. His dream became a reality in 1929 when the very first Link Flight Simulator was developed. In the years to come, Link’s con cept of flight simulation would be adopted on a grand scale, recognized as an unprecedented breakthrough in pilot training. Today, the legend goes on. Link Flight Simulation, a division of the Singer Company, has established itself as the leading manufacturer of high technology, state-of-the-art, computer controlled simulation equipment. At our Houston Simulation Operation, adjacent to the Lyndon B. Johnson GRADUATING ENGINEERS FOR A CAREER THAT CAN’T BE SIMULATED LOOK TO LINK Space Center, we have design ed, developed and continue to ^ update simulators for some of America’s most advanced military sys tems (F-5, F-16, B-52, LAMPS and AH-64 Helicopters) and are in volved in conceptual design of simulators for futur istic systems such as the B-l. Link’s ongo ing projects for ad- vanced, higher capa bility military simulators have created unique career opportunities for SOFTWARE ORIENTED ENGINEERS. Interested candidates should be educated in one or more of the following disciplines: AERONAUTICS • MATHEMATICS • ELECTRONICS • PHYSICS COMPUTER SCIENCE • MECHANICS As a member of Link, you’ll join a group who are dedicated to pursuing the high calibre expertise and visionary capacity that Link was founded on. You’ll work in a progressive environment along side the team who developed NASA training simulators for the APOLLO, SKYLAB, SPACE SHUTTLE and SPACELAB. If you envision yourself playing a key role in the future of real time simulation, you are invited to investigate opportunities with Link. In addition to excellent salaries and comprehensive bene fits, Link employees enjoy annual merit increases, professional award programs, medical/dental/life insurance, tuition assistance, and more.

Roosevelt who it said did not calm the pub lic hysteria after Pearl Harbor, and who 10 weeks later signed the order to round up the Japanese-Americans. “A grave injustice was done to American citizens and resident aliens of Japanese ancestry, who without individual review or any probative evidence against them, were excluded, removed and detained by the United States during World War II,” the commission said. The commission made no re commendations in its report “Personal Justice Denied” but will issue those separately. The recommendations are believed to include reparations, although far smaller in amount than the $3 billion some Japanese- American groups sought.
