If you’re like a lot of people, your longest-lasting memory of college is
the student loan you’re still paying back. The Army has a solution, though: qualify,
sign up with us, and we’ll sign off on your loan.
Each year you serve as a soldier, the Anny will reduce your college debt by 1/3
or$l,500, whichever amount is greater. So after serving just 3 years, your government
loan could be completely paid off.
You’re eligible for this program it you have a National Direct Student Loan,
or a Guaranteed Student Loan, or a Federally Insured Student Loan made after Oct
ober 1,1975. The loan must not be in default.
Get a clean slate, by erasing your college debt. Take advantage of the Army’s
Loan Repayment Program. Your local Recruiter can tell you if you qualify.

FORT MILL, S.C. (AP) — Evan
gelist Jim Bakker, who in 1984
bought a Palm Springs home while
continuing televised pleas to get his
PTL ministry out of debt, had
amassed at least $500,000 in real es
tate and cars in recent years, records
show.
It was unclear Tuesday what hold
ings Bakker and his wife will keep
now that Bakker has turned his tele
vision ministry over to the Rev. Jerry
Falwell.
Bakker resigned as president of
PTL last week, saying he had been
blackmailed after a sexual encounter
seven years ago. In a videotaped
statement Monday, Bakker said the
sex scandal was the beginning of a
“diabolical plot” to take over the
ministry, which reported $129 mil
lion in revenues last year.
Bakker has not said how his resig
nation will affect his assets, and re
peated calls to PTL’s vice president
for public relations, Neil Eskelin,
were not returned Tuesday.
Since his resignation, Bakker and
his wife, Tammy, have been in seclu
sion in his Palm Springs, Calif.,
home, one of the two he owns out-
right. PTL — which stands for
Praise the Lord or People That Love
— also provided two other homes
for the evangelist, including a Flor
ida condominium.
The Bakkers bought the Palm
Springs home for $449,000 in 1984,
saying they used their own money.
The same year, Bakker bought a
new Mercedes-Benz for $45,003 and
a 1953 Rolls Royce for $55,000 while
telling viewers PTL owed $5 million
to television stations carrying the
program.
Mrs. Bakker said in an Aug. 1,
1984, telecast that PTL supporters
must pay the bills for the organiza
tion.
“Jim and I can’t,” she said. “We’ve
given everything we have. And liter
ally we have given everything. I have
offered to sell everything I own be
cause things don’t really mean that
much when it comes to getting the
gospel of Jesus Christ out. But if I
sold every single thing I owned, Jim,
it would probably keep us on the air
one more day.”
“Oh, no,” Bakker responded, “It
wouldn’t be that long.”
The Bakkers told viewers in Octo
ber 1984 that they bought the Cali
fornia home with their own money
for vacations and retirement.
Last fall, the Bakkers bought and
began renovations on a $148,500
mountainside home overlooking
Gatlinburg, Tenn. Renovations to V
the 2,300-square-foot home were
projected to cost $35,500.
The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer re-
ported last November that when
Bakker bought the Tennessee prop-
erty, he said he planned to sell the >•
California home.
Lawyer says
Swaggart tried
takeover bid
NEW YORK (AP) — TV evangel-
ist Jim Bakker’s lawyer accused rival;
preacher Jimmy Swaggart on Tues- '
day of masterminding a bid to take :
over Bakker’s $172 million PTL em-
pire.
“Last night Jim Swaggart came *•-
out of his cave or the high grass or <
wherever he was hiding and identi- ‘
fied himself to the Charlotte Ob- /
server as the man that Roy Grutman
had in his mind,” Bakker’s lawyer,
Norman Roy Grutman, said at a
news conference in New York.
“Now that Jimmy Swaggart identi-
fied himself, I will not deny Jim
Swaggart was that man,” he said.
When Bakker stepped down as T
head of the 500,000-member PTL
ministry last week, he accused a rival
of seeking to usurp the organization
by exposing the fact that Bakker had
an extramarital encounter seven
years ago and paid blackmail to
cover it up.
Swaggart, president of Jimmy !
Swaggart Ministries in Baton Rouge,
La., was in Los Angeles preparing
for a weekend crusade and was not
immediately available to comment
on Grutman’s latest accusations.
But in an interview with the Char
lotte (N.C.) Observer published
Tuesday Swaggart had said, “I’m to- l
tally aghast because nothing like that y
has ever been considered, thought '
of or remotely engaged in.”
Swaggart, who has feuded in the ’•
past with Bakker, denied any at- j
tempt to take over the PTL, saying
“that would be the last thing in the
world I would ever want.”
New cancer therapy
gives hope to victims
of fatal brain tumors
SAN DIEGO (AP) — A new form
of therapy is providing “some hope”
for the first time for victims of the
most common form of brain cancer,
which until now has been relendessly
fatal, a researcher says.
Doctors are unsure whether they
have cured anyone with the new ap
proach, but 44 of their 60 patients
are still alive long after such victims
usually die.
The patients were treated at an
advanced stage of their disease,
when the expected survival is 14
weeks. But some are apparently free
of disease more than two years later.
The therapy uses a newly devel
oped technique to rally the body’s
own immune defenses to fight can
cer. In this case, it’s being used to at
tack brain tumors called gliomas.
Dr. Deane Brunton Jacques and
colleagues began using the treat
ment in February 1985 at the Hunt
ington Medical Research Institutes
in Pasadena, Calif. He described his
results at an American Cancer So
ciety meeting underway this week.
“It’s not a panacea,” he said. “It’s
highly experimental. But in a disease
that’s heretofore been 100 percent
fatal, at least for the first time there’s
some hope for these people.”
The approach, called adoptive im
munotherapy, uses the patient’s
white blood cells as the primary as
sault against cancer. The white cells
are separated from the blood and
grown for 10 days in interleukin-2,
one of the body’s natural chemical
weapons against disease. This seems
to stimulate the white cells to fight
the cancer.
All of the patients have failed to
respond to surgery and radiation.
When their cancers recur, surgeons
remove as much of the tumors as
they can, then fill up the resulting
cavity with a mixture of the activated
white cells and blood plasma.
Fourth Disney theme park
to open by 4992 in France
PARIS (AP) — Mickey Mouse and
the Magic Kingdom are coming to
Europe, under a contract Premier
Jacques Chirac signed Tuesday for a
$2 billion Disney theme park outside
Paris.
The world’s fourth Disney park is
to open in 1992 on a 4,400-acre site
in rural Marne-la-Vallee, 20 miles
east of Paris.
French officials say it will create
30,000 new jobs and should draw
about 10 million visitors a year.
“We think France is the ideal
country to welcome Eurodisney-
land,” Michael D. Eisner, president
of the Walt Disney Co., said at the
signing ceremony.
In French, he told reporters, “It is
difficult to imagine a country richer
in artistic traditions. It is as respect
ful beneficiaries of this cultural rich
ness that we come to France.”
Chirac told a news conference the
venture marked the first time
France signed a contract with a pri
vate foreign company for a project
on French soil, “but I’m sufe it will
be a great success because it’s Disney
Co. and France.” The French nego
tiators, sensitive to inroads on their
culture, won what they consider im
portant concessions from the Walt
Disney company aimed at guar
anteeing a French and European fla
vor to the theme park.
Negotiations took nearly two
years. Jean-Rene Bernard, negotia
tor for the French government, said
he estimates Eurodisneyland will
contribute $500 million a year to
France’s gross domestic product.
Eurodisneyland is to include
13,500 hotel rooms, camping
grounds, sports facilities and a large
commercial complex spread
through five villages. Total cost
could go as high as $7.5 billion, with
the first phase to be completed in
1992 and other themes to be com
pleted in 1995, officials said.
Like the world’s three other Dis
neyland theme parks, the cen
terpiece of Eurodisneyland will be
the Magic Kingdom dominated by a
huge Cinderella castle and pop
ulated by familiar Disney characters.
“The Disney culture . . . will be
brought to France intact, but it will
be different in that it will respect
French culture,” Eisner said.
