Gro- inyko, the glum architect of Kremlin diplomacy during the Soviet Union’s Imergence as a superpower, was fiamed his country’s president Tues day, and a Foreign Ministry outsider I is picked to succeed him. Gromyko’s choice as chairman of e Presidium of the Supreme Soviet is unexpected, and was seen by estern diplomats here as another oof of the speed and sureness with lich Mikhail S. Gorbachev has sha- n up the Kremlin leadership since : took power March 11. The Soviet Parliament’s awarding the title of head of state to the 75- ar-old Gromyko, foreign minister r the past 28 years, was viewed by me as the crowning of a promi- :nt career.

Gorbachev had spoken of the de sirability of fusing top party and state responsibilities in one man, and It had been widely expected that the refighten current session of the Supreme So viet would elevate him to the govern mental position left vacant by the death of Konstantin U. Chernenko. But Gorbachev, who nominated Gromyko as president, told Soviet parliamentarians that pressing do mestic concerns now make a split of the functions desirable. However, the deputies also named Gorbachev to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, which would allow the Soviet party chief to rep resent the Soviet Union officially at international gatherings in place of Gromyko. helicopi 100 brut The fin ; said. ;edingfo les north bout d ere evat n the hi » of res it of tkt ■ ordered *y jtely aid Gem- The Soviet Parliament’s awarding of the title of head of state to Andrei A. Gromyko, foreign min ister for 28 years, was seen by some as the crowning of a prominent career. In Washington, administration of ficials who spoke on condition they not be identified said Reagan and Gorbachev would meet in Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 19-21. There was no immediate official confirmation from either the United States or So viet Union. Gromyko’s election by the 1,500- member Supreme Soviet, the coun try’s nominal parliament, was fol lowed in one day by the elimination of one-time Gorbachev rival Grigory V. Romanov from the Politburo, the Communist Party’s supreme deci sion-making body. Eduard A. Shevardnadze, head of the Communist Party in the south ern republic of Georgia, was elected by the Supreme Soviet to succeed Gromyko as head of Kremlin diplo macy. Th 57-year-old Shevardnadze, little experienced in foreign affairs, had been elevated to full Politburo membership from hon-voting status a day earlier. The appointment gives a Commu nist Party functionary operational control of the Foreign Ministry and passes over many veteran diplomats who have served for years in the So viet foreign policy establishment. The Supreme Soviet also elected Yegor K. Ligachev, a Gorbachev supporter recently named to the 13- man Politburo, as chairman of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Soviet of Unions, one of two cham bers of the nominal Soviet Parlia ment. Western observers said that based on practice, the move indicated Li- gacnev is now the Kremlin’s No. 2 man, second only to Gorbachev, and probably the Soviet leadership’s chief ideologist. At 62, Romanov was young to step down from the supreme Kremlin policy-making body. The absence of official praise for his services sug gested he was ousted. The official Soviet news media said Romanov asked to be relieved for health rea sons. A Communist Party member for more than a half-century, Gromyko began his diplomatic career under Josef V. Stalin, serving as ambassa dor to the United States and later to Britain before Premier Nikita S. Kh rushchev named him foreign min ister in 1957. Western diplomats, commenting on condition they not be identified, said the election of Gromyko as pres ident and his replacement by She vardnadze was evidence of Gorba chev’s gathering strength. A State Department official in Washington who spoke on condition he not be identified said Gromyko was still apparently close to Gorba chev, and suggested the Soviet leader may be keeping his more ex perienced senior at his side to aid in the transition. Israel to release 300 Shiites Associated Press TEL AVIV, Israel — Military sources said Tuesday that Israel will release 300 of the Shiite prisoners it has held in Atlit prison. The prisoners — whose release was demanded by hijackers of a TWA airliner — will be taken from# the Atlit military prison, 30 miles south of the Lebanese border, and set free north of Israel’s security zone in south Lebanon, Israel radio said. The remaining prisoners will be released soon, depending on the se curity situation in south Lebanon, the radio said. Israel has released in stages more than 500 prisoners from among 1,167 brought from Lebanon April 2 as the Israeli army was withdraw ing from Lebanon. “We made it clear then that they were brought on a temporary basis to Israel, that we intend to release them, that we would release them in accordance with the development of the security situation in southern Lebanon,” Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin said Monday. Government and military sources insisted there was no link between the release of the 39 Americans and release of the prisoners held by Is rael. Rabin said the prisoners had been scheduled for release June 5, but their release was delayed by attacks in south Lebanon and by the hijack. The hijackers had demanded release of the prisoners held by Israel, but Israel would not set them free while the hijackers held hostages. *4-9> cc Special I You want a spacious efficiency?

Associated Press Paul II on Tuesday extended his hopes for solidarity to fellow Slavs in the Eastern bloc, appealing for reli gious freedom and efforts to over come divisions in Europe. In the fourth encyclical of his pa pacy, the Polish-born pontiff lauded two ninth century saints who brought Christianity to the Slavs and set down his vision of a Europe spiri tually united by a common culture and religion. The pope’s 47-page letter was phrased in milder terms than he has sometimes used to denounce human rights violations in Poland and else where in the Soviet bloc. At a news conference, Vatican- based Czechoslovak Cardinal Jozef Tomko conceded the pope’s lan guage was guarded, saying this was due in part to the “delicate situation” the church faced in the East. He did not elaborate. “Tough words would only have been counter-productive,” said a Va tican source who spoke on condition that his name not be used. The encyclical was issued just be fore a visit to Czechoslovakia by the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Agostino Casaroli, for a commem oration ceremony July 7 marking the work of the saints. Casaroli flew to Yugoislavia on Tuesday en route to Czechoslovakia. The pope alluded to Czechoslova kia’s failure to invite him to the com mmemoration, saying “that I will be present at least spiritually.” The encyclical, entitled “Slavorum Apostoli” (Apostles of the Slavs), was issued in commemoration of the ninth-century evangelizing work of Saints Cyril and Methodius. An en cyclical is a papal letter informing the church and its members of mat ters of importance.

Have you ever gotten a perm that turned out dry and frizzy? Or maybe you’ve gotten one that wasn’t the type of curl you wanted. If so let me explain some reasons why this has probably happened: almost every perm available to hairdressers (and even those available on grocery shelves) are made to be as trouble-free to stylists as possible; therefore, they say “processes in 20 minutes - no test curl needed, cannot overprocess!” So theoretically if Sally, Jane and Betty all use this perm their hair.will turn out perfect every time - sorry it doesn’t work like that. Each girl has different hair types and each requires special attention. Sally’s curl will form in 10 minutes -so if you leave the solution on for those extra 10 min utes her hair will turn out very dry and probably frizzy - Jane’s hair is strong and resistant to a curl therefore 20 minutes will present a weak curl formation - it probably won’t last a month. Then there is Betty - she’s had a perm ever since high school and her hair isn’t in good condition so it’s going to require spe cial pre and post perm conditioning treatments. Get the idea? Now most hair stylists aren’t going to take the extra time to take test curls and even if they do - I’ve found many don’t even know what to look for and many will even do another cut while you’re processing... Don’t want any of the above to happen to you? I don’t either. That’s one of the reasons I became a hairstylist. I saw too many girls get their hair ruined by some uncaring hairstylist. The other reason is that I love to do hair and I know how to do it right. Whether I’m cutting or perming your hair you’ll be getting the special attention you deserve. Hope to see you soon ...but only if you care - * * * >4 * * * Perms start at $48 (includes cut) Stylish clipper cuts done with ease. 822-9515 3400 S. College ★ Ask for 7.“ off on your first visit!
