At least that’s the plan for Alkio, the Southwest _ Conference sin- Tennis gles champion, i a great chance to do well. I practiced hard for it, so it’s really a tough loss. “It’s also hard because there were four Southwest Conference players in the quarterfinals (SMU’s Richey Reneberg and Stefan Kruger, Ar kansas’Joey Blake and Texas’ Royce Deppe). I had beaten some of those guys before, so my chance was the re.” who lost in the opening round of the NCAA Men’s Tennis Champion ships in Athens, Ga., last week. Duke’s Jeff Hersh defeated Alkio 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 after Alkio won a pre liminary match over University of Nevada-Las Vegas’ Scott Warner 6-7 (7-9), 6-3, 6-2. The loss eliminated Alkio from the 64-player competi tion. “He was a good player,” Alkio said of Hersh. “And I can’t say that I played poorly. “That last set was close all the time and I had my chances. “I was prepared to play the two matches a day (the tourney format if he continued winning). I knew I had But while the quick oust from the NCAA Championships was a disap pointment, the native of Helsinki, Finland still has a couple goals to ful fill. First Alkio will finish his studies in August and earn a bachelor’s degree in Business Management. Then he intends to turn professional. Alkio finished his collegiate career ranked 30th in the nation on the No. 24 Aggies, and posted his biggest wins at the end of this season. He twice beat SMU’s John Ross, who was ranked fourth in the country their first meeting, and 14th when Alkio beat him in the SWC Tennis Tournament.

(AP) — Weapons dealers have had trouble keeping enough machine guns on hand to satisfy a national buying spree sparked by a federal ban on their manufacture for public sale. Roger Small, president of Auto matic Weaponry of Nashville, said, “People who were undecided about buying a gun and were sitting on the fence are buying now before the price gets too high and there are no guns left.” President Reagan signed the gun law May 19, and as of that date no machine guns could be manufac tured for sale to the public. The law also eases restrictions on gun owners and dealers, but other provisions do not take effect until Nov. 15. In anticipation of the law, man ufacturers stockpiled as many ma chine guns as possible to deal with a temporary surge in buying. In addi tion, prices rose since the legislation passed the U.S. House a month ago, industry officials said. For instance, a Thompson subma chine gun that used to retail for about f 1,095 now sells for $1,695; a MAC-10, the model used frequently on Miami Vice, has gone from $755 to $1,195, dealers said. • Doug Nichols, vice president of Auto Ordnances Inc. of West Hurley, N.Y., which manufactures Thompson semi-automatic machine guns, said his company emptied the shelves after the bill passed the House. “We’ve sold about 600 guns since April 10. We usually sell about that many in a year,” Nichols said. The demand influenced the company to make an unplanned production run of 1,000 more Thompsons, he said, and almost all of them have been sold. In Washington, meanwhile, appli cations to register the weapons with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has increased dramati cally. Wayne Moran, chief of ATF’s na tional firearms branch which issues licenses, said his office recieved from 15 to 100 applications a day before the House passed the gun control bill. “Now we’re getting tens of thou sands a day,” he said. “We can hardly even open the mail we’re get ting so many applications.” Moran said his office had insti tuted field programs to verify all the applications. “We anticipate a drastic increase in numbers of registered weapons,” he said. Prospective buyers must have the approval of the local law enforce ment leader, the police chief for ex ample, submit fingerprints, have their photograph taken and allow the FBI to check their record to ob tain a machine gun license, which costs $200. Since April 4, ATF has registered 5,315 new guns but “those figure don’t really mean anything because on a very rough guess, we have 40,000 to 80,000 applications left to process and we’re still getting more every day,” Deron Dobbs, an ATF supervisory coordinator, said Thurs day. “For a while people thought the bill would ban silencers, and we reg istered almost a thousand of them in the last month,” Dobbs said. “We’re flooded with all kinds of applications right now.” As of May 20, ATF reported 16,521 silencers and 127,215 ma chine guns registered in the United States, Dobbs said. gey WALDO, He-KE'S Your report card/ p: 1 HEY, WHAT ABOUT SOHM Bit SCHOOL f ir'S NOT "Aoott " to SKIP ■ SuNH&i.

If the Soviet Union carries through with its plan, “it will make the largest single resolution of rep resentation list cases since the United States government began submitting such lists to the USSR al most 30 years ago,” he said. “It is a positive step that will con tribute to an improved atmosphere in our relations, and will facilitate ef forts to build on the progress begun at the Geneva summit last year,” the spokesman said. “It is our hope this significant step signals that the So viet Union shares our desire to move relations on ahead” in improving several fronts. At their summit in Geneva last November, President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to cooperate to resolve hu manitarian cases. Redman said the latest decision “gives real meaning to the joint statement.” Family of 3 shottodeo in their hoirt Eight lempeni lucling lantic Ci sing, M _JyAkron, < I Tocla leered si from th 1 ern an heaviest nd sen outh-ce Submarines (continued from page 1) tilled, and has been violated by the Soviet Union.” SALT structure which has been un dermined by Soviet non-compliance, and especially in a flawed SALT II treaty which was never ratified, would have expired if it had been ra- Reagan said he is prepared to go beyond the SALT limits as more B- 52 bombers are equipped with air- launched cruise missiles.
