Publicity from
man’s defection
may aid family
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The lawyer for a Ro
manian seaman who jumped ship in
Houston said Thursday that Secre
tary of State George Schultz’s recent
visit to Romania, coupled with ex
tensive publicity, “has done nothing
but help” protect seaman Paul Firi-
ca’s family.
Firica, 44, was granted political
asylum Nov. 14.
Austin lawyer Edward Roush Jr.
said he recently returned from a trip
to Romania to see Firica’s family
“face to face, to know that they were
alive and well.”
Roush said he had arranged the
trip because of reports that Firica’s
house in Lumina, Romania, had
been confiscated by the government,
that the family had endured lengthy
interrogations and that the older
daughter, Gabriella, had been Fired
from her job, which was the family’s
sole means of support.
“None of those facts are true,”
Roush said.
Asked if he felt what he saw “was
for real,” Roush said the U.S. Em
bassy had informed him that the Ro
manian government “knew of my
presence in the country, but I was
not impeded in any way.”
“I think George Schultz’s recent
visit there, coupled with the exten
sive publicity concerning his (Firi
ca’s) case has done nothing but help
in protecting his family,” he said.
Roush said according to the em
bassy and people in Firica’s village,
“the government has done every
thing they can to keep their hands
off of Paul Firica’s family.”
He said the family’s only contact
with the “secret police” was when
they “stopped by and asked for
Paul’s ID card.”
The family told the police Firica
had his card, Roush said.
Roush also said he obtained certi
fied copies of birth certificates and
the Firica marriage license, which
will be sent to the Immigration and
Naturalization Service in San Anto-

age terrorism and keep him gues
sing about what we might do, not
give him an excuse to try it again.”
The United States has accused Li
bya of supporting a Palestinian ter
rorist group suspected of mounting
the Dec. 27 attacks on the Rome and
Vienna airports. Khadafy re
sponded during the first week of
January by putting his military
forces on alert, claiming the United
States was planning an invasion.
The Soviet Union, which supports
Libya, responded by increasing its
surveillance of the U.S. 6th Fleet and
by moving two more combat ships
into the Mediterranean from the
Black Sea.
The United States currently has
31 Navy ships in the Mediterranean,
of which 20 are combat ships. The
combat forces are led by two aircraft
carriers.
A combat incident between the
United States and Libya occurred on
Aug. 19, 1981, when two American
F-14 fighters flying off the aircraft
carrier Nimitz shot down two Libyan
jets over the Gulf of Sidra.
According to Pentagon statements
at the time, the two F-14’s were fly
ing a routine mission as part of a
two-day exercise when the Soviet-
built SU-22 Fighters appeared about
60 miles off the Libyan coast and
suddenly attacked without provoca
tion. The Pentagon said one of the
Libyan jets fired an air-to-air missile
at the jets, which missed. Each of the
F-14’s then fired a single Sidewinder
missile, downing both Libyan air
craft.
Good communication helps process
(continued from page 1)
semester,” Perry said. “It may have
to wait until summer or the follow
ing fall.
“The only limitation is you must
initiate the appeals process, and that
means you must appeal to the in
structor within the next long semes
ter.”
Perry recommended students be
organized when going through the
appeals process.
“The important thing is from the
very beginning to sit down and write
out your appeal in a coherent way so
that at each stage when you give it to
the person they have something to
look at, something to get a hold of,”
he said. “Because a lot of times,
when you just talk to people, you
don’t really get to the point.
“Plus, sitting down and writing it
sort of solidifies things in your mind
and makes you think of other things
you wouldn’t have thought of or
would forget to say in a meeting.”
Perry also said the student should
always be communicating with ev
eryone else involved in the appeals
process.
“What I would do if I was appeal
ing a grade is give the instructor a
copy of what I was giving to the de
partment head just so he’d know,”
he said. “Or, if you wanted to, I sup
pose you could go back to the in
structor and say, ‘Look, here’s the
way I really feel after talking to you
and I’d just like to touch base with
you one more time before I go
through with this process.
Perry said the procedure for ap
pealing suspensions or blocks of en
rollment is not as complicated as the
one for grade appeals.
“A suspension or block of enroll
ment is made by a representative in
the dean’s office of your college,” he
said. “And in this case you need to
see only two people.”
The first person to see is the
dean’s representative, Perry said. If
he denies the appeal the student can
then go to the chairman of the ap
peals panel.
Perry said that at a regular meet
ing the panel usually hears from two
to six appeals. This semester the
panel heard two, both of which were
grade appeals.
Controversy over Marcos’ war record not new

role of the country’s guerrillas dur
ing the war,” he said.
After his usual reference to the
five wounds, he told the campaign
crowd, “My opponents now say that
Marcos is not a genuine guerrilla,
that he did not really fight.
“I don’t know where they get such
foolishness. You who . . . fought un
der me, you be the ones to answer
these crazy individuals, especially
the foreign press.”
He said he will ignore his detrac
tors because they are all going crazy.
Some American war veterans
came here as Marcos’ guests to tes
tify against the newspaper We Fo
rum when he shut it down. The clo
sure later was reversed by the
Supreme Court.
At a campaign rally Wednesday,
both he and his wife Imelda took
watches off their wrists and handed
them to an elderly Filipino. Marcos
said the man, Dionisio T. Dagandan,
was with him during the war and
told of both escaping from croc
odiles while eluding the Japanese.
A book on Marcos the govern
ment produced in 1978, during an
eight-year period in which he ruled
by martial law, said, “The young
Marcos’ feats of skill, endurance and
courage in battle are the very stuff of
legend.”
The book describes many ex
ploits, including one in which Mar
cos, then a lieutenant, led three
young recruits in a raid behind Japa
nese lines in which they killed 50
enemy soldiers.
It said he was captured but es
caped to perform other acts of hero-
