About $80,000 of that money will be given to the band. Dempsey said he was approached about the television rights, and the time change, at a meeting of Pac-10 athletic directors last week. Normally such a request would be rejected because of the potential for heat-related problems, said Dempsey. "Because of the unique situation involving the band, however, I decided to accept that opportunity," he said. "Our staff is already (at) work creating some promotions involving such things as sun screen, water and (sun) visors."

The Pac-10 has already agreed to allow ABC to televise a game that night between USC and Penn State, and the contract forbids Arizona or any other school in the conference from appearing in a competing televised game, said UA athletic director Cedric Dempsey. That's why Arizona and Stanford will have to play in the afternoon heat. The announcement is good news for the 200-plus-member marching band.

The cash will keep them alive for another year, though they will still have to make more cuts or raise more cash. They will still appear at all UA home games, will travel to Tempe for the annual game against ASU, and the smaller pep band will continue to inspire the basketball team to keep alive the 64-game winning streak at McKale Center.

7 Crisis of nerves cited as sign of a weak party By Brian Friedman The Associated Press MOSCOW The Soviet Union's Communist leadership decided yesterday to keep Mikhail S. Gorbachev as party chief, despite hours of criticism that prompted him to offer to quit. The demands for Gorbachev's removal ended in "a crisis of nerves on all sides," said Alexander Jo-morov, a regional Communist Party leader from Siberia.

In his closing remarks to delegates, Gorbachev said it had been one of the "sharpest plenums ever. It was impossible to expect anything else," the Interfax news agency quoted him as saying. The hard-liners demanded Gorbachev declare a state of emergency to restore order, which he had already rejected on Wednesday, the first day of the meeting.

aid By Clifford Krauss 1 99 1 The New York Times WASHINGTON The Bush administration said yesterday that it would provide financial assistance to Hanoi for the first time since the Vietnam War, approving a small but symbolically significant aid package for Vietnamese disabled during the fighting. The announcement that $1 million would be made available for artificial limbs comes less than a week after the two nations agreed to open an office in Vietnam to resolve the cases of U.S. servicemen missing since the war. It represents one more cautious step in a slow warming of relations that began two years ago. Administration officials reiterated that an initiation of full diplomatic relations or the lifting of a 15-year trade embargo would hinge on the Hanoi government's cooperation in accounting for all missing Americans and in reaching a diplomatic settlement to the civil war in Cambodia.
