BOULDER Colo (AP) Cheers rang out from the line at the campus bookstore when the announcement was made and the parties went well into the night The 21464 students at the University of Colorado were getting a surprise two-day extension of summer vacation because a computer fouled up class schedules for more than half of them The opening of the fall term scheduled for Wednesday was postponed until Friday after 3fficials discovered the computer had gone haywire Bob Borchers vice president The university's dean of admissions and records William Douglas said the computer mishap was "basically a human error' that occurred when someone placed an old program in the computer instead of a revision showing new classes times and locations "Someone picked up the wrong tape" he said For many students only one thing marred the bright September freedom The new schedules due this afternoon might not be as good as the first "Mine was just flawless" said Ms Kornberg "I bet it won't be next time" Storms

left hold first meeting of Middle East summit on a patio at Camp David WASHINGTON (AP) ---The Senate on Wednesday approved a budget that would allow a new tax cut of up to $194 billion in 1979 The budget would limit federal spending during the 12 months that begins Oct 1 to $4895 billion or $93 billion less than Congress approved as a target earlier this year Most of the reduction is a result of re-estimates and the inability of some government agencies to spend money as fast as budget-makers anticipated The spending plan approved Wednesday on a 56-18 vote anticipates tax revenues of $4472 billion resulting in a deficit of $423 billion The deficit is close to $20 billion under what President Carter forecast last January The budget passed by the House anticipates spending $4898 billion revenues of $450 billion and a $398 billion deficit The House document anticipates a smaller tax cut about $165 billion than does the Senate budget The House already has voted a $163 billion tax cut The Senate Finance Committee will begin writing its version today Budget authority which determines the course of federal spending in future years would be limited to $5577 billion under the Senate bill and $561 billion in the House version Budget authority reflects actual appropriations by Congress including some money that could be spent years into the future The spending figure or outlays indicates Only money that is expected to be actually disbursed by the government during the coming year After a conference committee works out a compromise between the versions passed by the House and Senate the budget will limit spending and tax cuts during the following 12 months Before approving the budget the Senate rejected three efforts to cut below the figures 'recommended by the Budget Committee A 44-25 vote rejected an amendment by Sen William Proxmire D-Wis that would have cut appropriations by 3 percent to $540 billion "This is the measure the country is waiting for and the message we have not sent" Proxmire said Proxmire chairman of the Senate Banking Committee said such a move was our last and only weapon to curb inflation He said there is no possibility that wage and price con trols would be seriouslysonsidered at least not in the current Congress But Budget Committee Chairman Edmund Muskie D-Maine said his panel "spent long days and hours combing (over federal programs) to identify every conceivable cut" He challenged Proxmire to say what items should be slashed noting that many programs "cannot be further compromised or cut" Summit Pope Prays For Mideast Peace While Moscow Charges Pro-Israel Bias Continued from Page Al diabetics with sufficient quantities of this hormone a problem that is projected to become acute anytime after the early 1980s It now requires the pancreas glands of 10 cows to yield enough insulin for a year's support of a single diabetic patient The synthesis of human insulin was done by a team of scientists from the City of Hope and from a private South San Francisco firm called Genentech Inc The team first made artificial genes that are the genetic code for the two major parts of the insulin protein They then inserted these genes into bacteria and provided the bacteria with nutrients The bacteria multiplied and in the process made many copies of the protein segments The researchers then isolated these segments from the bacteria and joined them together to make the complex molecule that is insulin Tests to date indicate that the manmade insulin is identical with the protein that is normally made in the human body A great deal of testing must be carried out however before this synthetic insulin will become available commercially Levine said it could be two to five years before a commercial product is available Continued from Page Al rustic camp also provided just the sort of icebreaking touch Carter had been hoping for Well before the appointed hour of their first conference table meeting Powell said Sadat and Begin met each other while strolling in shirtsleeves along the camp's wooded walkways They shook hands and exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes before continuing their separate constitutionals under sunny blue skies While they were chatting Powell said Israeli Defense Minister Ezer Weizmann a man especially well-liked by Sadat pedaled up on a bicycle and joined them Powell said Vice President Walter Mondale who is running the executive branch in Carter's absence visited Camp David Tuesday morning to brief Carter on prospects for passage of his crucial natural gas bill and other domestic issues lestinian problem guarantee the security of Israel and safeguard the holy city of Jerusalem "I want us to pray together for the success of Camp David" said John Paul I in his first general audience as pope Arab hardliners reacted by denouncing Egypt and burning Sadat in effigy Is-rael tightened security after two Palestinian-planted bombs exploded in Jerusalem Tuesday one of them severely injuring a former American policeman and Vietnam war veteran who moved to Israel from Los Angeles Israel's political cartoonists portrayed Begin as the fall guy of the United Press International The new pope prayed Moscow complained and Palestinian guerrillas set off two bombs in Jerusalem hours before the crucial Camp David summit opened to seek peace in the Middle East Reactions to the meeting of President Carter Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin ranged from hope to bitterness to despair The Soviet News Agency Tass said even the name of the summit site in the Maryland mountains showed a bias towards Israel At the Vatican Pope John Paul I offered a prayer for the summit saying he hoped it would lead to a Middle East peace that would solve the Pa summit The Jerusalem Post's strip entitled "The historic dinner at Camp David" showed Sadat as "the honored guest" Carter "the head waiter" and Begin "the goose" In Damascus Syrian President Hafz Assad unleashed one of his sharpest attacks on Egypt since Sadat's visit to Jerusalem last November "Sadat does not represent the Arab position or aspirations" Assad said 'Can (someone) represent me who goes to Israel and places a wreath on the soldiers' A Palestine Liberation Organization spokesman in Beirut said the only thing awaiting Sadat at the summit was a wall "of Israeli intransigence" In the southern Lebanese port of Sidon Palestinian guerrillas burned Sadat in effigy while children battered likenesses of the Egyptian leader with their fists In Moscow Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko said the Camp David summit was an attempt "to accom plish a collusion behind the back of thc Arab peoples so as to frustrate th( attainment of a genuine Middle Eas' peace" Continued From Page Al Busing Laetrile Continued From Page Al Poll Continued From Page Al by Chief Justice Rose Elizabeth Bird Mathew Tobriner Stanley Mosk Wiley Manuel and Frank Newman Missing from the signatures and presumed in opposition were Justices William Clark Jr and Frank Richardson But while the state Supreme Court ordered the case back to a district court the order as of Wednesday meant busing would proceed In its ruling the high court vacated the writ by the 2nd District Court of Appeal which had ordered a delay in mandatory busing in Los Angeles even though vehicles had been purchased drivers hired and teachers oriented in the program Within minutes after the California court ruling was announced Bustop the principal organization opposed to mandatory busing announced it would immediately take the case to US Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist in an attempt to halt the latest court order Rehnquist is the justice with Jurisdiction over the federal court system in the southwestern United States "We will go to him no later than Friday" said Bustop president Paul Clarke The Los Angeles school board planned a Wednesday night meeting to consider implications of the high court ruling and a spokesman said it appeared they would go ahead with mandatory busing on schedule Attorneys for the ACLU and NAACP which support busing and attorneys for a parent group opposing the issue as well as attorneys for the Los Angeles school board and the state attorney general's office were in San Francisco to press their arguments pro and con ts Although it had approved the plan last March the school board itself voted 5-2 last week to recommend that mandatory busing be held up until the state Supreme Court reviews all aspects of the case New buses had been purchased drivers hired 'routes selected teachers oriented and refurbishment completed on schools affected by the limited integration program for the nation's second largest school district 580000 students However letters had not yet been sent to students and parents formally notifying them of the school to which they were being transferred and the location of bus pickups The spokesviomadsaid those letters could not be sent until the Supreme Court acts in view of an order by the 2nd Court of Appeal staying the pro gram The mandatory busing affected 30000 students in grades four through eight However there were 10000 other students involved in voluntarily attending "magnet schools" and another 30000 in another voluntary busing program which was in effect last year Many stdents in the "magnet" program were expected to drop out and go to their regular schools if the mandatory program is delayed or scrapped Teachers were meeting for further orientation programs on integration but they were scenes of confusion "They are calling in here to ask us what is going to happen next Tuesday and all we can tell them is that we don't know either" the spokeswoman said to recommend human testing of Laetrile The 29-member committee's proposal will be sent to institute director Arthur Upton who will make the final decision Advocates of Laetrile say thousands have been cured of cancer by the substance and urge that its use be legalized in the United States The Food and Drug Administration says Laetrile has not been proved safe and effective and prohibits its interstate ship ment However on July 10 the US Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver ruled that terminally ill cancer patients can legally receive Laetrile injections In addition 17 states have legalized its use FDA Commissioner Donald Kennedy said the new study does not provide any proof that Laetrile works "It is significant that so few people came forward with case histories of successes from Laetrile therapy in view of the claim that thousands of cancer victims have benefited from the use of this substance" Kennedy said "The case review does not estab lish that any patient has benefit ed from Laetrile" The cancer institute sent 455 000 letters to doctors and other health professionals requesting case records of patients who were helped by Laetrile From this the agency received information on 93 patients all of whom were reported to have responded well to Laetrile treatment Researchers threw out 26 cases because information about treatment was sketchy The rest were turned over to a panel of 12 cancer experts which concluded that four showed complete responses and two partial responses to Laetrile Three other patients whose cancers had been removed remained free of the disease for longer periods than normal after taking Laetrile they said "It's impossible to draw any definite conclusions about Laetritels efficacy or even to draw any conclusions about the six cases that responded" Ellison said in an interview Researchers said there was no way to determine whether it was Laetrile that made the patients better They wrote "The patients treated with Laetrile were almost always given concomitant metabolic therapy including substances that might be regarded as immune stimulants as well as general supportive care measures such as improved diet psychological support and the unmeasurable ingredient of hope" py (b) The Younger camp happy and (c) All of the above Said Bill Press chief deputy campaign manager for the Democratic nominee: "I think the poll shows what the other polls show that we're going up and Yotmger's going down" Countered Younger campaign di rector Ken Rietz: "We were very pleased with it We thought we would go into the first of September with about a 10 percent lead for Gov Brown" Mervyn Field the San Francisco market researcher who directs the California Poll saw it in different terms It means that Brown's onetime comfortable 50 percent to 38 percent lead over Younger recorded as recently as last May is no more and there is now a "tight race" reported Field While Brown's folk took comfort in his retaining first place Younger's found solace in the fact the opponent's lead was not greater "We had expected him to run much stronger" Rietz said of the foe "When you have an incumbent governor who is a Democrat in a Democratic state who has only 46 points going into the last two months of the campaign that is a sign of weakness "I ruld expect that we will get to about the middle of October before we move even with him" The five-point spread cheered other Republcans among them Assembly minority leader Paul Priolo of Malibu "That was the best news I've had since Proposition 13 passed" said Priolo Wednesday "I was falling into that group of Republicans- who were discouraged about the prospects of victory in November but I got a new shot in the arm as a result of that (poll) "Given the fact that Jerry Brown has had that much press that he's constantly been in the newspapers and only has a five percentage point lead it has got to show that something is not going on out there that people are not buying him" Brown campaigner Press maintained that the momentum favors Brown "There are several schools of thought about polls but the one that always holds true is that what really counts is who's ahead by how much and what the trend shows" said Press "And looking at the Field polls both show Gov Brown leading Younger and that is what is significant and all he rest is pure political speculatiori" A owIimmnnm Imre i---1 I 1 a AM
