IAIRBANKS — President
ReSran assured Pope John Paul
II VV?dnesday the United States
is det>rmined to be “a force for
peacefn the world” and a de-
fendef of individual freedom
around he globe.
The president, on his way
home afUr a six-day state visit
to China, and the pontiff, be
ginning a Q-day tour of Asia,
crossed pat^s for about 40 min
utes at Fairbanks International
Airport, 100 niles south of the
Arctic Circle.
A crowd of ibout 10,000 peo
ple — smaller tlan expected be

greet the worldjeaders, both
victims of assa^ination at
tempts, who met Jtnid tight se
curity.
“In some ways, Ai^ka can be
considered today a crossroads
of the world,” John P^xl said at
an outdoor ceremoft y during
which Reagan welcome! him to
the United States. “FVsident
Reagan is returning froii visit
ing the beloved peof^ of
China, even as I am making my
way to a neighboring area in the
Far East.”
At a red-carpet welcoming
ceremony for the pope, Rea
gan, who has courted Catholics
in his bid for re-election,
praised John Paul as “a minister
of peace and love” and his
church as “one of humanity’s
greatest moral and spiritual
forces.”
The pope praised “the won
derful diversity” of Alaska,
where “65 languages are spo
ken and peoples of many di
verse backgrounds Fmd a com
mon home with the Aleuts,
Eskimos and Indians.”
“To live in harmony and con
cord requires a constant open
ness to each other on the part of
each individual and group,” he
said.
“It is expressed in a dialogue
that is honest and frank, one
that is based on mutual respect.
Openness to others begins in
the heart.”
The pope and Reagan held
their talks, the first since the
Vatican and the United States
upgraded diplomatic relations worked diligently for recogni-
to the ambassadorial level, in an lion of the rights and dignity of

The meeting between Rea
gan and John Paul came as the
president and Mrs. Reagan
wrapped up a 31-hour stopover
in Alaska, a common refueling
spot for trans-Pacific flights.
The Reagans left soon after
on the final leg of their return
to Washington. They were to
reach the capital late Wednes
day night.
In his welcoming comments
to the pope, Reagan also took
note of the new formal ties link
ing the Vatican and Washing
ton.
As he did during his China
visit, Reagan emphasized reli
gion in his comments to the
pope, and linked faith with his
efforts for peace.
“We are just returning from
a mission of peace,” Reagan
said, “and I can think of no
more fitting close to this jour
ney than to be here in the pres
ence of your holiness, who has

Easter Sunday, he had offered
“a prayer for peace, a prayer
that the nations of the world
would renounce the agony and
heartbreak of war and learn to
live in love with each other.”
“We must never underesti
mate such efforts,” he said. “Far
more can be accomplished by
the simple prayers of good peo
ple than by all the statesmen or
armies of the world.”
Reagan extended what was to
have been a brief refueling stop
in Alaska to an overnight stay to
accommodate the brief meeting
with the pope, who was bound
for South Korea, New Guinea,
the Solomon Islands and Bang
kok.
The private session between
Reagan and John Paul, held in

pope’s DC-10 and Air Force

their first on American soil.

GETTING

W'

««
Summer Shuttle
Bus Service
With the end of the semester come concerns about finals,
getting a summer job, and moving out of your apartment.
One major concern that many students express is the return
of their security deposit. The requirements for return of your
deposit are outlined in the security deposit section of your
lease. These requirements are usually as follows:
1. Give written notice of intent to vacate at least 30 days
prior to the ending date of the lease.
2. Occupy the unit for the entire lease term.
3. Clean the apartment in accordance with the move-out
cleaning instructions.
4. Pay all rent according to the terms of lease.
5. Give the manager your forwarding address in writing.
You must fulfill all of these requirements for your security de
posit to be refunded. When you are ready to move out, make
an appointment with the manager to jointly inspect the apart
ment and compare the condition of the unit with the Move-In
Condition Inventory form that you completed at the begin
ning of your lease term. Have the manager sign and date the
Move-Out Condition Inventory form. Keep a copy for your re
cords. If you feel there may be a discrepancy, you may also
want to take photographs to prove the apartment’s condition.
The owner is required by law to return your security deposit
within 30 days or to provide you with an itemized list of de
ductions. If your deposit or the list of itemized deductions is
not received within 30 days, notify your owner/manager and
request an explanation. If you need information or assis
tance, contact the Off Campus Center or the Students’ Legal
Advisors.
‘Remember that you cannot use your deposit as your last
month’s rent unless this is provided for in your lease or you
have a written agreement form your owner or manager.
The following apartment complexes are chartering buses
from the University in order to provide summer bus service to
their tenants. The properties listed in each group will com
prise one route. Bus passes may be obtained through the
apartment managers.

THE AGGIE GUIDE
TO CONQUERING
YOUR FINALS
ROOMMATE NEEDED?
Many of you are probably trying to finalize your housing and
roommate plans before the end of the semester. The Oft
Campus Center’s Roommate Referral Service is in full swing
for the summer and fall semesters. Whether you have hous
ing and need roommates, or need both housing and room
mates, the OCC files will be helpful to you. The Center is
also sponsoring roommate sessions where you can meet
people who are seeking roommates. The sessions will be
held on May 3, 7, 8, & 9 at 2:00pm in 402 Rudder Tower. The
OCC staff won’t attempt to “match” you with someone, but
we will provide you with referrals and any other assistance
you may need. So, don’t wait until the summer months:
Come by the OCC and make use of the card files, and make
plans to attend a roommate session.
