Chastises Congress in speech
By Kathleen Berry
City Editor
In his first stop on the "mashed potato circuit" since leaving office, former President Ronald Reagan on Monday attacked Congress for not reducing the budget deficit and called for a repeal of the 22nd Amendment.
Reagan, speaking before a full audience of more than 1,500 in Bovard Auditorium, said he is "saddled up and ready to ride again" after just two weeks of retirement.
In his 22-minute speech, punctuated with anecdotes and

Shooting victim recovers from ordeal
Warfield prepares to continue classes, wants new housing

Kimberly Warfield, the junior whose right lung collapsed after she was shot in the back Jan. 27, was in good condition when she was released Thursday from County-USC Medical Center, said Robin Warfield, her father.
"She is in quite a bit of pain off and on, and gets fatigued really easily," he said Monday. "She has been strong throughout the whole ordeal. She's done great."
The 20-year-old aerospace engineering major was shot as she entered her home at Stardust Apartments on 27th Street. The gunman fled in a car driven by an-
other man, said Lt. Nick Bakay of the Los Angeles Police Department's Southwest division.
Warfield wanted to fly home to Erie, Pa. and visit her family before returning to school, her father said. But doctors discouraged the trip because of her poor condition.
"Doctors still want to keep an eye on her," her father said. "She was disappointed. She's taking it pretty bad."
Warfield plans to attend classes next week, her father said.
"Right now it looks like she will start school pretty soon," he said. "She cannot miss too much school. At this point she can still catch up."
After leaving the hospital, Warfield visited her apartment to take some of her clothes to the hotel where her parents are staying.
Her father said visiting the scene of the
shooting was upsetting for Warfield, who was particularly shaken when she thought she heard a strange sound outside the apartment.
"She's too terrified to return to the apartment," he said.
Robin Warfield said hisdaughter will stay in the hotel until the university finds housing for her on campus.
"She wants a separate room by herself, because aerospace engineering requires a lot of studying," he said. "It's a tough situation for the university because they have limited unoccupied spaces."
Though police detectives have not made any anests related to the shooting, police say they are optimistic about solving the case.
"At the time of the shooting we had absolutely zero to go on," Bakay said. "Since then we have developed several significant leads."
Talk’s political tone surprises some
Left and right, students soak in historic day
By Gale Lance

Reactions to Ronald Reagan's speech Monday ranged from skepticism to praise, but most audience members agreed they had been granted a rare occasion to see one of the most charismatic leaders in the nation's history.
Jean Campbell, executive secretary at Annenberg School of Communications, described the visit as historic.
"I have great respect for him as a person and think he is sincere about what he believes, even though I don't agree with all of his ideas," Campbell said.
She said the issue-oriented speech surprised her.
"I was shocked he chose to use it as
a political springboard rather than a time for personal reflection," she said. "He made it pretty clear pretty fast that he wasn't going to disappear, that he would continue to affect policymaking."
In the first seconds of his speech, Reagan announced he would come out of a two-week retirement to future presidents and complete filled promises.
Reagan's list of unfinished business includes a constitutional amendment requiring Congress to balance the budget annually, and the revocation of the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two terms in office.
"I felt like he was commenting on things he couldn't control while he was president," said Erem Rashid, a
freshman majoring in political science and economics.
Rashid said she supports Reagan's call for a balanced budget amendment, but disagrees with his proposal to extend the president's term.
Jim Andre, a lecturer in the business school, said he also has misgivings about repealing the 22nd Amendment, but praised Reagan's role as a public speaker.
"I admire his personality, optimism and character," Andre said. "It was a great opportunity to hear somebody who did a great deal for our country. The spirit of the nation has improved because of his character. I think he will continue to have a dramatic effect, even as a private citizen."
