Monday, August VDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCER Page 1 Overloaded Boat Sinks; 175 to 200 Feared Drowned Nevis, West Indies (AP) A 75-foot motor launch designed to carry about 180 people on its ferry shuttles between the islands of Nevis and St. Kitts had aboard "probably 270 to 300" persons when it capsized and sank in five minutes Saturday, a government official said Sunday night. Between 175 and 200 were feared dead. Forty-three bodies had been recovered by late Sunday, and there were 88 survivors. AH were believed residents of the two islands except three Roman Catholic nuns -two from Canada and one from England who were drowned.

The U. S. Coast Guard said some of the others might have been washed out to sea. But most were believed entombed with the boat's captain, James Ponteen, inside the steel hull in 130 feet of water about a mile off the southeast tip of St. Kitts.

The Coast Guard quoted an unidentified government official that the ferry "started leaning, and the people flocked to one side, with the result that it capsized." Eight Injured of Sunset Hill Eight persons were injured at 1 a.m. Saturday when this car, driven by Chester H. Dean, 17, Granite City, was struck by a car driv-en by Charles A. Stillwell, 22, St. Louis, on Illinois 157 at Sunset Hill.

Dean and four passengers, Elizabeth V. Sa.puto, 18, Granite City, Rebecca L. Dean, 22, Melesa E. Dean, 2, and Charles W. Dean, 23, all of Edwardfiville, were injured.

Stillwell and 'his passengers, Terry L. Forrest, 22, Cool Val- ley, and Pa'iil E. Sehnoeder, 24, Jennings, were also injured. All were taken to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Granite City.

Illinois State Police said that the Dean car was north- bound on 157 when the driver saw the Stdlwell car coming at bun in the northbound lane. Dean pulled off onto the shoulder, but the SMlweJl car slid into at. BAPTISTS IN SOVIET UNION Louisville, Ky. (AP) The president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary says there are more than 2 million Baptists in the Soviet Union. Dr.

Duke K. McCall said, "It's not wise for religious leaders to advertise publicly the growth in their church membership (in the U.S.S.R.) and they know it." The church claims about 510,000 Baptists in Russia, but McCall said there are many more than that figure. Universities Attaining 'Relevance More New Courses Offered Washington (AP) The nation's state universities are responding to student demands for more relevant studies and a greater voice in designing their education programs with a wide variety of new course offerings, a new study shows. The National Association of State Universities and Land- Grant Colleges, in a survey of Judy Collins Catharsis through music and poetry. Singer Judy Collins At MRF Wednesday its 114 members, said new courses range from one in philosophy at the University of Nebraska that will go into sexual morality, drug abuse, racism and violence to a community service program at the University of South Carolina where students can earn up to $1,000.

Students have demanded on many campuses a voice in shaping what they study to obtain their degrees. The University of Hawaii, Cornell University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have announced new programs giving students a voice in what subjects they will take to earn their majors. At the same time, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Rhode Island said students would have more freedom in selecting their courses. There appears to be a rush on most campuses to new courses in environmental control and ethnic studies. Environmental Field The environmentalfield has a wide range of subject matter.

The University of Arizona is offering Environmental Politics and the University of Iowa Industry and the Natural Environment, while Clemson University, Washington State University and the University of California at Davis have programs on contemporary environmental i environmental science and a new "Music and poetry can produce a catharsis that involves everybody. That's what I'm after," says Judy Collins, who will be the Wednesday night attraction at the Mississippi River Festival at Southern Illinois University. Formerly labeled a folk singer, Miss Coffins is now referred to as America's foremost singer of contemporary art songs and, recently, an important writer. The transition is usually dated from her recording in January, 1967, of "In My She says, however, fihat her involvement with contemporary material began much earlier. In.

notes which she wrote for her third album in 1964 she explained, "Although it is called folk music, the musk on this record has grown mostly out of the city, not the country If I belong to any tradition at all, it is the city tradition, one with its roots in urban life. Bora in Seattle, the daughter of a prominent radio personality, Miss Collins was raised in Denver. Her musical training began with piano lessons at the age of seven. "My teacher," she recalls, "'had been a student at Sibelius. Her love of music came to her students in an urgency that I finally defied when I was 16.

"So many years of the music, the by-yourseJf working on things all alone while the other kids grew up sociably," bothered her. "Music camip was never tor me," Judy says. "The closest thing to get-together and sing- along was what used to be called in the old European school 'the master which was a kind of open house for student performance and criticism by the students and Madame Brice." "I found I needed to be together more than I needed to be alone," Miss Collins "I found the guitar, and then the only discipline was my desire to get at the communication through lovely, beautiful songs words put together with melodies that came from somewhere different, immediate, close. The songs were not so much songs as verbal lockings." Judy Collins first attracted attention in Denver, then along the Chicago-New York Cambridge folk -axis of the early 60's. Acclaimed particularly for her singing of traditional Anglo- American ballads, she signed her first recording contract with Elektra Records, on which label her eight albums have been released.

Miss Collin's record, "In My Life," was hailed as a milestone, "an irrevocable break with the pasty a unique treatment of unique material, a new attitude. towards conbem.pora'ry -songs as works of art," Tom Paxton said of (Ms atbum. "She has gone outside the folk field and found true music in other idioms." The music She plays and sings on her most recent albums i lyrical and poetic. Speaking of this new creative phase, Miss Collins remarked, "I used to think of myself not as a singer so much as a kind of story-teller who happened to sing. Now it's different.

I have to work, look, find out what is in the song, if I love it, look long at everything about it, take the trip with words and music, and I find that I am more and more a singer." Many who reviewed Wildifiow- ers wrote that Miss Collins' song "Albatross" is not only the finest song on the album but one of the masterpieces of contemporary musical creativity. It is the first song she wrote and she admits to being a little frightened of it. "I'm not sure I know where it came from, or how I did it, or if I can do it again," she says. "You can't try to write a song if the song isn't there inside, but you can't not try if you feel something may be about to haippen. This is very new, very difficult, very wonderful.

I wewt over some sort of hump when I began to write my own material. Now I feel regenerated in everything I do." 1 i ving-learning environment studies program. Minorities, a big issue on the campuses in the late 1960s, is continuing to expand in the field of black studies and at the same time broadened to cover Mex- i a A i a a American Indian. The universities of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas are among those offering courses on both the American Indian and the Mexican- American. New Mexico State University and Washington State likewise have plans for Mexican- American studies.

Indian studies will be offered at the Universities of Minnesota and Montana and Washington State University. Black studies will be added at Florida A University, Fort Valley State College in Georgia and at the University of Arizona. In the field of relevant education, the University of Alabama has added a home economics zeroing in on the problems of the aged. The University of Oklahoma, in a new masters program in human relations, will have students working as interns with social agencies. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, in cooperation with the city, will allow students to earn credits and cash by working in community services such as tutoring disadvantaged children, working in hospitals and in depressed areas.

This initial Soviet reaction has emerged from accounts of the two formal meetings and other discussions at the' U. strategic arms limitation talks. (SALT) at Vienna last week following the American offer. The Russians were said to be seeking more information about the U. S.

plan while neither committing themselves to it nor making polemic statements against it. Washington officials therefore continue to be encouraged about the prospects for reachng an historic agreement on curbing the superpower nuclear arms race, though a formal pact would still seem to be many months away. The Vienna talks are expected to recess this summer, then resume in the fall in Helsinki where the SALT talks began last year. U. S.

negotiator Gerard C. Smith set forth the U. S. proposal last January. It would limit the number of long range offensive missiles to current stockpiles, or less, and would also place a ceiling on defense antiballistic missiles (ABM).

Important Feature The most important feature of the plan, in the United States' view, would be its restrain on the Soviet SS-9 missiles which would be kept at their current number of about 300. The huge SS-9 is rated by au. s. strategists as capable of knocking out the war-deterrent i nuteman intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in its silo. The Pentagon says the Soviets are pressing ahead with a buildup of their SS-9 force.

The.Ui.Si proposal also is understood to offer the Soviets an option on the ABM either ABMsonboth sides, or limiting ABMs to national command centers such as the 64 launcher system now in place around Moscow. This would give the Soviets a choice of dismantling their Moscow ABM system, to construct one around Washington or some other command point. Neither option appears to fit the controversial Safeguard ABM proposal now being debated in the Senate. The Safeguard sites included in the administration-backed bill before the Senate are in the U.S. northwest for protection of Minutemen there.

Supporters of the administration program said if the Soviets agree to a zero ABM pact, the U. S. Safeguard program could be abandoned without jeopardizing United States security. If the Soviets opt for a national command authority ABM, administration backers said, the U. S.

Safeguard program could be inexpensively relocated because the only installation work done on the Safeguard so far is two holes in the ground. Nixon Assured Welfare Reform To Reach Senate Washington (AP) President Nixon's welfare reform proposal faces major revision in the Senate Finance Comimiittee, but at least one member has assured Mie White House the proposal will go before the full Senate. Sen. Johm J. Williams, senior Republican on the panel, said he had relayed such an assurance to Nixon through a top White House official.

"In all my years on this committee, it fas never killed a major piece of legislation by battling it up, even when the chairman and ranking members were opposed to it," he said. "If President Nixon wants a Senate vote on this bill in this session, I am certain the committee will see that he gets it." At the sarnie time, Williams, a strong critic of the measure in its original and revised form, said bluntly, "This bill is in trouble in the committee as it now stands, "I believe a big majority of the memibeiS will insist on changes before they will vote to report it out." administration strategists in the Senate are not greatly concerned about any (amendments the committee might adopt to cut back on the new Family Assistance Plan which the legislation would set up. Knock Out Changes They believe there will be enough votes on the Senate floor to knock out any such changes. A more important uncertainty surrounding the fate of the legislation appears now to involve the timing of Senate action. Some backers fear it will be impossible to get it passed by the Senate and through a Senate-House conference before Congress quits for the Nov.

3 elections. Senate leaders have agreed to resume the session if legislative business is not finished. The Finance Committee must hear Secretary of Labor James D. Hodgson before it can begin on public witnesses. Hodgson will 'Start his testimony Tuesday.

The committee staff said it had 400 requests from outside witnesses to testify on FAP and a -related measure increasing Social Security benefits and tightening the medicaid and medicare health programs. The staff estimates it will be well into September before testimony is completed. That would not leave much time for the panel to act on the bills in ex-. ecuitave session and get them through the Senate and conference before Congress quits for the elections. The House passed the bill April 16, The Senate committee began healings later that month but members quickly made clear their dissatisfaction with the provisions and sent back to the administration for a rewrite job.

The hearings were not resumed until July 21. Williams and others charged at first that the bill lacked work incentives and many families could get more by earning nothing and living completely on welfare than by working and earning $6,000 or $7,000 a year.
