Commuters win six-event contest

Commuters pulled out a victory Wednesday in the six-event interconstituency contest held as part of the university's homecoming festivities.
"We wanted to prove that commuters aren't apathetic at this university/' said Lawrence Strauss, president of the Trojan Commuter Alliance. 'Too many times, commuters tend to be ignored at campu&events." -
Trailing the residential hall team going into the final event, Tommy's burger-eating, the commuters eventually prevailed on the strength of Strauss' stomach.
In 10 minutes, 4 1/2 Tommy burgers were eaten.
"That was critical because res. hall was winning by one," said Peter Yum, treasurer of the Trojan Commuter Alliance.
Though the turnout was me-
diocre, a jubilant Strauss said the support for the eight-person commuter team was "tremendous."
"We were proud to represent the largest population on cam-
pus," said Kirk Kang, a commuter senator.
The contest is in keeping with the "Power of Troy" theme for this year's Homecoming Week, (Contmued on page 17)
Parking jam expected for Homecoming Game
On-campus parking should be scarce Saturday when thousands of students, faculty and alumni crowd campus for the annual Homecoming Game, said Roy Heidicker, assistant director of Parking Operations.
Because of the projected congestion. Parking Operations is asking people to carpool to the game and to arrive early, Heidicker said.
"We can get a whole lot more people on campus this way," Heidicker said.
Kickoff time for the Stanford game has been changed from 1:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m., and Heidicker urged fans to arrive well before the game begins.
"We're going to utilize every space on campus," Heidicker said.

The most rousing response from the audience came after Stock well's attack cm Reagan, which received both laughter and applause.
"Nobody was taking him seriously, perhaps because he misspeaks so often it's almost comical," StockweU said. "So we didn't have to hold him accountable -for his own words and what he believes in. But this man has a defective mind. I don't care if you love the guy, he shouldn't be president because his mind flips in and out.
"President Reagan likes to call himself a Contra. He likes to call them the moral equivalent of his founding fathers. And I assure you the people of the world look at what's happening and are astonished at the incredible con-
White House — telephone linkage between drug smugglers and assassins right into the vicr president s office."
StockweU said there were "mountains of evidence showing the linkage between drug smugglers. Contras and government officials that lead to hts conclusion.
StockweU has authored seven books since quitting his CIA post, and each book must meet the approval of the CIA before it is published The CIA has even impounded the royalties from his best-selling expose of the agency. In Search of Enemies But that hasn't stopped Stock-well from trying to tell hts story 'I'm telling you your leaders iie to you systematically with a purpose and that Congress covers for them and the media sometimes cooperates.'' Stock-well said. "And it's important lies that can get you killed.

Choppers land on field for Marine celebration
By David Nimick
Staff Writer
In celebration of the U.S. Marine Corps' 212th birthday, two Marine helicopters landed on CromweU Field as a group of about 300 spectators ringed the field.
The helicopters arrived from Tustin Marine Corps Air Station about an hour late because a third chopper, a VH-1N Huey, had technical problems and could not make the trip to campus.
The copters were brought to campus to give students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Marine Corps and its equipment.
Squadron leader Lt. Col. Paul Wilson, a 1987 university graduate with a degree in education, and Capt. Richard McKenzie, a 1979 graduate of the School of Public Administration, ptfoted a CH-46E Sea Stallion. 1st Lts. John Cable and Jim Baarman piloted an AH-1J Cobra.
Wilson, who flew a Sea Stallion in Vietnam for six months, called the twin-rotor chopper "the workhorse of the Marine Corps. The Marines have been developing a new type of copter to give to us . . . We should have these until at least 1991 and I'm sure (they) wiU be used into the 21st century. It's a great piece of machinery."
Wilson said there are 15 Marine squadrons currently using the helicopter, which is also involved in the Persian Gulf.
"It's neat to see this stuff up close," said Karl Jacob, a sophomore
