East Germans Regents
given freedom

United Press International
BERLIN — The East Ger
man government allowed six
East Germans who sought
freedom in the West to leave
the U.S. Embassy in East Ber
lin Sunday and cross the bor
der into West Berlin, a West
German government spokes
man said.
The four men and a married
couple entered the U.S.
Embassy Friday and vowed to
go on a hunger strike until
the East German regime
allowed them to go to the
West.
The six East Germans, be
tween the ages of 19 and 43,
left the embassy near Unter
den Linden in three auto
mobiles and drove through a
checkpoint in the Berlin wall
to West Berlin, witnesses
said.
It was not clear if the six were
insisting on emigration to the
United States or would re
main in West Germany.
An American spokesman said
the six East Germans left the
embassy after the embassy re
ceived an assurance they
would not be arrested and
could go to the West.
They were accompanied on
their trip to West Berlin by
Hans Otto Braeutigam, bead
of the West German mission
to East Germany, and Wolf
gang Vogel, an East German
lawyer who for years has
been involved in the “sale” of
East German political prison
ers to West Germany.
His presence led to specula
tion that the West German
government had paid a large
sum of money to get the East
German government to allow
them to leave.
Last year West Germany
bought freedom for 1,034
political prisoners. In the last
20 years it is estimated West
Germany has paid $364 mil
lion for a total of 20,236 poli
tical prisoners.
American officials had held
delicate negotiations with
East Germany’s communist
regime on the East Germans’
request for permission to
emigrate.
U.S. Ambassador Rozanne
Ridgway returned to East
Germany Saturday from the
United States, but it was not
known if she was personally
involved in the sensitive di
plomatic maneuvers.
Diplomatic sources said East
Germany had feared that
allowing the six to emigrate
might encourage some
500,000 East German
citizens, who have applied to
leave the country legally, to
take similar steps.
The East German media did
not mention the case, but
East Germans were aware of
it as West German television
broadcasts are received
throughout the country.
The six, in a letter to Presi
dent Reagan given to U.S.
officials when they entered
the embassy Friday, asked for
protection from arrest.
They had asked for asylum in
the embassy. But, Rosinus
said, “Under international
law and by American prac
tice, the United States does
not grant asylum in embas
sies.”
A group spokesman said two
of the men were sons of offi
cials of East German secret
police officials. The West
German newspaper Welt am
Sonntag identified them as
Bernd Macke, 28, expelled
from art school for applying
to emigrate, and Joerg He-
jkal, 23.
It said Hejkal served 22
months in prison for trying to
flee to the West through
Yugoslavia, and another
group member, Bernd Apel,
43, spent 18 months in prison
for the same offense.
The others were identified as
Daniel and Petra Klingberg,
a married couple from Pots
dam, and Rene Faccin, 19,
who was born in East Ger
many but has an Italian
father and an Italian pass
port.

Mothers unite for support
United Press International
BEVERLY, Mass.— The first
day Laura Sampson spent
alone with her newborn son
was so fraught with unex
pected loneliness the
anguished mother was re
duced to tears.
With no role models to offer
guidance and nothing in her
education and work experi
ence to offer solace, Samp
son’s rosy vision of an easy
transition from career
woman to motherhood was
shattered.
In desperation she tele-
phoned a hospital and
petito j earnec [ s he wasn’t alone.
A group of women who post
ace pi poned childbearing until
roduct* their careers were established

Each week psychologist Judy
Klein and other mothers
trying to make a personally
rewarding adjustment to
their domestic roles share
fears and confidences they
cannot discuss with anyone
else.
The decision, to return to
work and leave an infant in
the care of another or to tend
to the baby and learn to enjoy
it, is up to the individual, but
the choice is eased by a posi
tive support group anxious to
give the newcomer encour
agement.
“This is uncharted territory,”
Klein said. “Whether we re
turn to work full or part-
time, or wait, there are no
real models on how to inte
grate our self-concept as a
working woman and as a
mother. We’re struggling
with problems our mothers
never faced.”
All of the group participants,
including Klein, postponed
their first child until career,
personal and financial prob
lems were resolved.
Delighted with the prospect
of the baby they were finally
able to have, each hoped to be
a full-time mother, returning
to work when their child was
sufficiently grown.
None anticipated the sense of
isolation and feelings of in
adequacy accompanying
their child’s arrival.
“I’ll never forget that first day
alone with Joshua,” said
Sampson. “I kept thinking,
‘What am I going to do?’
“There was no one to talk with
who could understand my
negative feelings,” she said,
“and I had a tremendous
need to relate to other peo
ple. I felt like screaming.”
It was only when Sampson
was referred to the support
group that she was able to
evaluate her problem and de
cide to return to her position
as a research dietician when
her baby was four months
old.
Once the anguish dissipated
in the relaxed atmosphere of
the evening get-togethers,
Sampson, with her husband’s
support, was able to find a
competent sitter.
Sampson is confident Joshua,
now 13 months old, is getting
excellent care with a doting
sitter, and loving parents who
appreciate and make the
most of their time with him.

Two members of the Corps
then spoke on behalf of the en
dowment, both saying that if it
had not been for the program,
neither may have been able to
remain at the University.
Richardson then pledged to
Burton that the Corps would get
more scholarships and pledged
to donate one himself. Another
regent then pledged one, after
which a pledge was announced
on Board Chairman H.R.
“Bum” Bright’s behalf. Wisen-
baker then spoke up and said,
“If Bright can afford one, so can
I.”
The committee approved sev
eral appropriations including an
aphe Freeman Arena on High
way 2818.
The committee approved a
$81 1,500 project to renovate the
arena. During the presentation
of the renovation, architect Mof-
fatt Adams joked asking, “Why
does it cost $800,000 to put a tin
roof on a horse pin?” But he ex
plained that a lot of work had to
be done.
Regent William A. McKenzie
then asked, “So all we have there
now is a bunch of junk?”
Adams responded by saying
that the present facility is hard to
maintain.
Appropriations for prelimin
ary design for a new engineer
ing building to house portions of
the civil engineering depart
ment, the engineering design
graphics department and the
Texas Transportation Institute
were examined.
Questions were raised about
a $1 million appropriation for
furnishings for TTI.
The $1 million was quoted as
the cost of additional furniture
for the institute. Some of the
furniture at the present offices
will be transferred to the new
facility with the rest going to
University surplus.
Bright questioned the figure
and said the furniture had
been itemized in the cost esti
mates.
The committee, also
approved an appropriation of
$58,000 for work on an asbestos
roof in the Civil Engineering
Building. The roof, which was
believed to be made of gypsum
board, was found to be asbestos
during renovations of the build
ing. The Environmental Protec
tion Agency prohibits the use of
asbestos in the construction of
educational facilities. The mate
rial was supposedly used during
a reroofing job on the building
in the 1960s.
The appropriation would be
used for the purchase and use of
a spray-on material that would
coat the asbestos fibers so that
they will not pose a health
problem.
The committee also
approved appropriations for
the preliminary design for the
Engineering Building, the Phy
siology Research and Condition
ing Laboratory and for detailed
design for the Physical Educa
tion and Intramural Facilities at
Tarleton State University.
