Reagan’s long March’ reaches China President in Peking on good will tour United Press International AG AN A, Guam — President Reagan arrives in Peking today to a rare 21-gun salute, flowers from school children and an outward show of good will from the leaders of the communist government he once scorned. Guam, a U.S. territory occu pied by the Japanese in World War II, was the final overnight slop on Reagan’s island-hop ping “long journey for peace,” a trip he used to dramatize the emergence of Asia and the Pa cific as America’s most impor tant market for trade and a re gion with important strategic considerations. Prior to the final 2,800 mile flight to Peking, White House officials voiced hope Reagan’s six-day slate visit will go as smoothly as the events of the last week. For their part, Chinese lead ers took pains to make the visit a success and place the seal of permanence on 12 years of U.S- Sino friendship. The first 12 hours were to be heavy on pomp and ceremony and light on substantive dis cussions. Reagan was to be met at Pe king’s Capitol Airport by a small welcoming delegation slated to include Foreign Minister Wu Xueqian and school children bearing flowers for the presi dent and the first lady. After having tea with Wu and his wife, Reagan was scheduled for a 33-minute motorcade into the heart of Peking for a formal welcome — martial music, mili tary color guard and more bou- quel-ladden children — in Tia- namen Square, a sprawling plaza adjacent to the Great Hall of the People that has seen dis plays of revolutionary fervor by crowds of 1 million or more Chinese. Thursday evening the Rea gans join Premier Zhao Ziyang and three dozen other U.S. and Chinese officials as guests of President Li Xiannian at an el egant dinner within the walled compound of the Diaoyutai Stale Guest House. The 21-gun salute planned for Reagan was a departure for the Chinese, who reinstituted the custom only recently during a visit by Japanee Prime Min ister Yasuhiro Nakasone, who like Reagan, came to Peking bearing pledges for help for China’s economic development. Reagan is the first incumbent American president to visit Pe king since the restoration of diplomatic ties in 1979. Summer dorm applications available By SALLY SCHWIERZKE Reporter Applications for summer school housing are being ac cepted from current dorm resi dents this week, and for the first time Northside dormitories will be open during the summer. Current dorm residents will be given priority over those off- campus students applying for housing this summmer, says Lesley A. Stoup, staff assistant in the Housing Office. Applica tions from off-campus students will he accepted on May 1. “We are not anticipating that many more students this sum mer,” Stoup says. “The North- side dorms will he open because of the maintenance schedule.” The maintenance will involve painting and installing new win dows in the Corps dorms. Hughes, Dunn, Underwood, McFadden, Dorm 4 and Dorm 6 will be open for the expected 1,400 men. Haas, Spence and Krueger will he open for the 1,100 women. “One of the concerns was the eating arangements,” Stoup says. “We will try to accomodate those who prefer the board plan and place them in the dorms dose to the Commons area.” Students may indicate Suit may be filed over nuclear site United Press International TULIA — Attorney General Jim Mattox Wednesday said his office might file a lawsuit against federal energy officials if one of two proposed Panhan dle sites are chosen to store high-level nuclear waste. The sites in Swisher and Deaf Smith counties are under con sideration as a national reposi tory for waste from the coun try’s nuclear power plants. Mattox said the Department of Energy has ignored the fact that the sites are in agricultural areas and involve the Ogallala and the Santa Rosa aquifers. “My office and other stale agencies will he submitting com ments on the DOE’s draft of Panhandle sites toward the end of May,” Mattox said. “We will oppose the current draft.” The sites near Tulia and Hereford are among nine sites in six stales under study as pos sible locations for the first na tional radioactive dump.

Mattox said the decision on whether to file suit against the DOE would depend on whether federal officials considered state officials’ objections and also would depend on guidelines DOE is slated to re lease this summer. Government officials indicate they plan to narrow the list of potential sites to five or six by this summer. Gov. Mark White also has criticised the DOE’s work and has slated a Thursday night meeting in Hereford between residents and state nuclear offi cials. If either Panhandle site is se lected, the waste would be put in salt beds below the water sup ply. Residents have said they are concerned about possible contamination and also about the lowering of property values.
