ANGER, Norway — Norway
tened to destroy an intruding
rn submarine and stepped up
B'ch today for the craft believed
•ig 30 miles south of the coun-
naval defense center,
finals speculated the submarine
iSpatched by the Soviet Union,
m-ee frigates, two submarines,
allance aircraft and an unspeci
fied number of warships searched
Hardangerfjord with sonar and other
sophisticated listening devices in
search of the vessel.
The Naval Operations Center in
Stavanger said a Tern-type, anti
submarine homing missile was deton
ated Thursday after sonar contact
was established with the vessel. The
bid to force the submarine to surface
was unsuccessful.
One naval source described the
missile as a mini-Exocet — referring
to the French-built rocket used by
Argentina during last year’s Falkland
Islands war with Britain.
“We are prepared to destroy the
submarine if it refuses to surface,”
Defense Minister Anders Sjaastad
said.
Warships were diverted to the bay
outside the village of Leirvik on the
island Stord in the mouth of the Har
dangerfjord -— nearly 7 miles wide
and ranging in depth from 330 to
1,300 feet.
Rear Adm. Haakon Bjarne Elling-
3en of the Defense Staff would not
disclose the exact number of warships
joining the fleet from the Haakons-
vern naval base at Bergen, 30 miles
north of the mouth of the fjord.

Houston tonight is being held to raise
money for his next campaign.
Senate GOP Leader Howard Baker
of Tennessee also was flying in to
attend the event which costs from
$200 to $1,000 per person.
Before leaving the White House,
Reagan planned a series of staff meet
ings and a talk with non-career gov
ernment executives. He planed to re
main overnight in Houston and re
turn to Washington Saturday after
noon. His schedule in Houston also
called for a trip to the Cenikor Found
ation, a non-profit drug and alcohol
rehabilitation center.
On another topic, the White House
appeared to be generally satisfied
with the reaction to Reagan’s nation
ally broadcast address on Central
America Wednesday night although
he did not get the complete bipartisan
green light he had sought.
Following the address to a joint ses
sion of Congress, the official Demo
cratic response was given by Sen.
Christopher Dodd of Conn, who cal
led Reagan’s formula for holding the
line against the leftist rebels a failure.
“Yes, I was quite aware of that and
not surprised by it either,” Reagan
said. “But I guess that’s what this busi
ness is all about is having differences
of opinion. And, very frankly I didn’t
find any substance in what he had to
say.”
As expected Reagan tapped for
mer Sen. Richard Stone of Florida to
be his special envoy to Central Amer
ica and to seek a political solution to
the strife in El Salvador.
\aculty Senate takes
U»l , 7 . ,
duties next week
by Robert McGlohon
Battalion Staff
newly elected Faculty Senate
egin to assume the duties and
„, _(Jponsibilities of the Academic
luiicil during its first meeting on
sdaesday.
I 11 Br l ie Academic Council, as we
iow it now, will be abolished,” said
Davis, chairman of the Facul-
Senate steering committee. “And
y of its functions will simply be
hsferred under the aegis of the Fa-
Senate.”
lut it’s likely to be a slow process,
pivis said the Senate has a number
Ureas to deal with during its first
ting. It needs to elect a speaker
(1 a parliamentarian, appoint ad
nd standing committees, hire a
Jetary and buy a word processor —
the little things an organization has
d< when it’s starting out.
esident Frank E. Vandiver, at the
22 meeting of the Academic
ncil, told the assembled deans,
rtment heads and other Univer-
administrators that it probably
be fall by the time the Faculty
te completely assumes its duties,
[though some of you may have
d this was the last meeting of this
dl, this is an outfit you have not
bed out of yet,” Vandiver said,
ne Senate will have a variety of
i
broadly stated duties. Those duties,
according, to the Senate constitution,
are to review University-wide policies
on matters of curricula and instruc
tion, academic standards, scholar
ships and other forms of student dis
tinction, and the hiring, firing and
promotion policies pertaining to
academic personnel.
Or, as Davis puts it, the Senate will
be required to review “those kinds of
things that the faculty is best qualified
to deal with.” He stressed, however,
that the Senate will not be dealing
with college or department policies —
only University-wide policies.
The Academic Council, on the
other hand, will be renamed and
assigned duties dealing with adminis
trators’ concerns, Davis said. Its new
name will be the Academic Adminis
trative Council.
Both bodies will report on their
separate concerns to the president of
the University. It will not be a two-
house system, Davis said. The duties
will be divided clearly.
Vandiver indicated at the January
meeting of the Academic Council,
however, that the duties of the two
bodies will overlap at times.
“I see the Academic Administrative
Council as a body in the role of the
house of lords,” Vandiver said.

good but only after a new contact has
been established will rockets again be
fired.
Prime Minister Kaare Willoch said
the search was given highest priority
and all available means would be used
to force the submarine to surface.
Ellingsen said the submarine defi
nitely was not from NATO or any
other Western European country.
“Personally I am quite certain of its
nationality,” he said, apparently re
ferring to the Soviet Union.
The intruding submarine was spot
ted by two civilian divers Wednesday
morning. For 30 minutes the divers
watched the conning tower reaching
out of the water and moving across

intend to get administrative opinions
on decisions.”
But that road runs both ways.
The Faculty Senate constitution
states that the Senate may advise the
president on administrative matters,
while it is required to advise the presi
dent on faculty matters.
The whole idea behind the Faculty
Senate, Davis said, is to give the facul
ty more say in University policies
dealing with academic matters —
something that was lacking in the
Academic Council.
“Many of the things a university
does — like faculty standards, curri
culum matters, graduation matters —
are functions of the faculty,” Davis
said. “They are more properly know
ledgeable of them; they deal with
them daily.
“There’s a general feeling that a
university is really based upon its fa
culty. As someone said when they had
a strike here a while back with profes
sional football players: ‘You found
out you couldn’t have a football game
without football players.’
“Well, the faculty stays on; they are
the ones who do the teaching and re
search. And there is a belief then that,
in many of the functions of the Uni
versity, they should help make the de
cisions.”

Class of ’83 gift stalled
by Connie Edelmon
Battalion Staff
The Class of ’83 gift — the Aggie
Eternal Flame — is having its share of
problems getting ignited.
The monument, designed by
seniors Dan Kardell and Ian Seaton
along with former student Jim Van-
denberg, was to have been dedicated
during Parents’ Weekend, April 16,
but the monument was not ready.
The six-foot monument will be a
pyramid of black granite surrounded
by a twelve-point pond structure that
symbolizes.the 12th Man tradition.
A bronze bowl will sit atop the
pyramid and hold a 12- to 16-inch
flame, which will use an electronic
ignition system to keep from being
extinguished.
The monument will be con
structed next to the Reveille grave-
sites at the north end of Kyle Field.
The flame will be used to light torches
for bonfire and yell practices and
ceremonial candles for Aggie Mus
ters.
The gift’s cost to the senior class is
an estimated $17,000, Kardell said.
Vandenberg, who was enrolled in
the University in the fall semester,
drew up the plans for the project over
the Christmas holidays, but didn’t re
turn for the spring semester.
Kardell and Seaton never got the
completed plans from Vandenberg.
They now are using the original
sketches they drew for the project to
tell contractors what to do.
The contractor presents another
problem. Originally, the seniors
asked the University Physical Plant to
build the monument, but they were
too busy and couldn’t take on the job,
Kardell said.
The class then turned to off-
campus contractors. To save money,
Kardell said, he chose the least expen
sive contractor. In turn, the contrac
tor is not bonded, meaning the class
has no guaranteed completion date
for the project.
“They’ve (the contractor) put us on
the back burner,” Kardell said. The
contractor would have gotten to them
earlier, he said, but rain delayed the
completion of another job. Kardell
said the senior project is next on the
contractor’s schedule.
In addition, the granite to be used
for the base of the monument hasn’t
arrived from Italy. Kardell said the
bowl and plaque are ready, and work
orders have been placed with the Uni
versity for the plumbing and gas con
nections.
The project should be completed
sometime during the summer, Kar
dell said, and the dedication will be
held during one of the first football
weekends next fall.
President to visit
drug rehab center
United Press International ’*
HOUSTON — President Reagan
chose to tour a controversial Cenikor
alcohol and drug rehabilitation cen
ter because of the non-profit organi
zation’s success in funding much of its
own operations, an official said.
“The president saw us as some
thing that works in a rehabilitation
mode with absolutely no government
funds,” said Ken Barum, president
and board chairman of Cenikor
Foundation Inc.
“We had invited the president on
many occasions. Just out of the blue,
the White House called me and said
they were sending in an advance
team. They saw the facility and
viewed what we do here, and decided
this was an excellent site for the presi
dent to visit,” Barum said Thursday.
Controversy surrounding the
firm’s “real world” treatment of pa
tients at three facilities apparently did
not bother Reagan, Barum said.
“We don’t believe in coddling peo
ple. We get a little bit of heat over that.
We try to make their lives as it will be
in the real world. When our residents
get out, they are going to be fighting
odds that are twice as high as a person
who hasn’t had this problem,” he said.
Barum said Cenikor, with 400 pa
tients in three facilities ‘— including
Fort Worth and Denver, receives 52
percent of its funds from its own work
projects and 48 percent from contri
butions.
The average stay of a person trying
to overcome a drug addiction or alco
holism in Cenikor is 2'A years, Barum
said.
Reagan was to tour the Houston
facility today before attending an
evening fundraising dinner for U.S.
Sen. John Tower, R-Texas.
While at Cenikor, Reagan is to see
displays representing some of the
businesses in which the 155 local
Cenikor residents work. The facility
also houses 14 children.
“Making money is not our primary
goal,” Barum said. “We are teaching
them how to function in society.”
For one thing, Cenikor residents
maintain the Astrodome for the
Houston Sports Association Inc. —
maintenance, engineering, painting.
Barum described the organiza
tion’s “glamorous” business as mar
keting and distributing heavy-duty
sports equipment designed by Byron
Donzis, the originator of the quarter
back “flak jacket.”
