The Baltimore Sun reported in today's editions that four members of the Timbers were suspended for the rest of the season and another released as a result of an incident Sunday in South Bend, Ind. suspended for the rest of the season. South Bend police say the players took a taxi from their motel to Coveleski Stadium after Sunday's game was postponed by rain, illegally entered the ballpark and removed the infield tarpaulin. The alleged antics were similar to a scene in the baseball movie "Bull Durham," in which members of a Minor League baseball team broke into a ballpark and turned on the field sprinklers. The next day's game was canceled because the field was wet.

But the rain later cleared, groundskeepers worked the infield into playable shape and the two teams split a doubleheader. -it's i- L.

El for oeac wfflr Dram 'V7 1 4M mm The Associated Press Iraq's Saddam Hussein, facing U.S. and Arab troops at the Saudi border, today sought peace on another front by promising to withdraw from Iranian territory and release soldiers captured during the Iran-Iraq war. The U.S. military buildup in Saudi Arabia continued at fever pace, with Syrian troops now part of a multinational force camped out in the desert to guard the Saudi kingdom from any new thrust by Iraq.

In a letter to Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani, read by a broadcaster over Baghdad radio, Saddam said he will begin withdrawing troops from Iranian territory Friday and release Iranian prisoners of war. Iran said an Iraqi diplomatic delegation was en route to Tehran to deliver Saddam's message, which it said it would review "with optimism." Saddam appeared to accept a border demarcation treaty he had rejected in peace talks following the Aug' ust 1988 cease-fire of the eight-year war with Iran.

Board's vacancy perplexing The move seemed aimed at heading off more trouble with Iran, which had condemned Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2 but also criticized the multinational force dispatched to Saudi Arabia. Saddam said he was "looking forward to a new life of cooperation on the principles of Islam and respect of each other's rights so we can deter all those fishing in dirty waters and cooperate to turn the gulf into a lake of peace free of foreign fleets and forces that harbor ill intentions against us." In other developments: The outlook darkened for about 3,000 Americans caught in Iraq and Kuwait when Saddam sent his forces into the small, oil-rich sultanate.

Forbes, a board member since 1982, said she was involved with three appointments of school board members before efforts to replace Karen Wentz. Forbes said at Monday's board meeting that each time she has been Involved with an appointment there has been problems with the procedure. Larry Krause was the last person appointed to the board. After five ballots, in 1985, the board finally approved him, 6-1. Forbes said that after the latest revision in April 1986, board members thought they had a good appointment policy.

She said nobody imagined that the policy's tie-breaking procedure, set by the board in accordance with "Jones Parliamentary Procedure," would be inadequate as it turned out Monday night. The policy, which has been sent to the district's administrative staff for revisions, dictates that in case of a tie the candidate with the fewest votes is other 4-4 tie, the board voted 5-3 to reject all four finalists. Roger Sundby, executive assistant to the state superintendent, said the board probably made the right move Monday night But he said the board must continue searching for a ninth member. "I don't believe, based on what I understand the law to be, that they should be waiting around from August until next April for an open seat to be filled," he said. Allen said Tuesday the board's initial intention was to leave the seat vacant until the spring election, meaning four school board seats would be decided in 1991.

Tuesday night, he said there is a chance that a move would be made to fill the seat, but he's not sure if the board has a legal obligation to do so. "I felt that the best thing would be to let things settle down a little in a situation like this," Allen said. "Afterward, I'll consult with the board and we'll decide what we want to de By Gregory Shriver Wausau Daily Herald State education officials said Tuesday that state statutes require the Wausau School Board to find a replacement for Karen Wentz, who resigned from the board in July. But statutes do not dictate how boards should deal with tie votes such as the one the Wausau district faces between Tom Growcock and Cheryl Jones. "I get real nervous when we have to suggest that a board member change his vote to break a tie," said Barry Forbes, staff counsel for the Wisconsin Association of School Boards.

Board President Richard Allen says the board has not decided what to do. The board was split Monday night, with four members voting for Jones and four for Growcock. John Wood and Tom Gabert failed to receive any first-place votes, and when a second vote produced an sein. Story on Page 1C Judge says finders get to keep treasure NORFOLK, Va. (AP)-A federal judge has ruled the finders of a 19th century shipwreck off South Carolina are the keepers of its treasure a haul of as much as three tons of gold bars and coins worth up to $1 billion.

"Vision, hard work and ingenuity pay off," said Richard Robol, attorney for the finders, the Columbus America Discovery Group. He added, "Every child's dream of finding a sunken treasure is not just human, it's also legal." U.S. District Judge Richard B. Kellam on Tuesday rejected arguments that a group of insurance companies, Columbia University, two rival treasure hunters and an order of Roman Catholic monks have a claim on the gold. The treasure went down in the SS Central America during a storm in 1857 as the steamship returned from California laden with gold.

News accounts said miners filled their pockets with gold and clung to the sinking ship. The Columbus America group found the wreck in 1987 about 160 miles off Charleston, S.C., and Vk miles down. Deathspage 7A Helen F. Charnecki Verna Charneski Ellsworth Dolloff Elmer E. Hinz Otto F.

The guard was deployed late last week to aid in the Persian Gulf effort to defend Saudi Arabia against Iraqi forces who took over Kuwait. The Air National Guard said some replacement members were sent earlier this week to allow other guard members to return to their Jobs and families in Wisconsin. The Pentagon, meanwhile, considered calling up thousands of reserves to bolster active duty units depleted by the crisis. Defending his decision to send thousands of combat troops to secure control over vital oil fields, Bush denounced Saddam's "ruinous policies of war," and added, "we are striking a blow for the principle that might does not make right."

"Culture is a learned behavior," said Charles Payne, director of multicultural programs at Ball State University, Muncie, Ind. "As we work with populations different than ourselves, we want more information available to us." In Wisconsin, for instance, the lesson plan on estimates includes, "How many pieces of frybread does the average pow-powgoer eat in a summer?" and "How many teepee poles are used each year at the Crow fair?" The teacher can offer an explanation or may ask an Indian student to describe fry-bread, a traditional Indian food, or the Crow fair, an annual Indian powwow. Families also are encouraged to make up their own questions. Parents and children attend the family training sessions.

Family math activities are held during classes at school and with parents at home. Though cultural awareness is a key part of the program, family math is aimed at increasing participation by females and minority students. Teachers are asked to provide community role models for students by inviting math-oriented professionals to speak to the class. "High school math students are dispor-tionately male and white," said program planner Marta Larson, Ann Arbor, Mich, National SAT statistics show girls score higher in math, yet fewer girls than boys pursue math in college. Payne said educators want parents to realize that math opens doors for students.
