SECTION 2 - PAGE 1-PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14. 1 #77 Ronald leap jAAcHenry Highlights! • -» * - WEIGHT LIFTING CLUB In November of the past school year, two teachers, with the help of their assistant principals, began a daily, after school weight lifting program for all students at East campus. The program is now beginhing its first full school year with official "club" status and hopes for even greater involvement of students than last year. During the first year, there were as many as twenty-two students lifting each night after school. In all, over ninety different students, both male and female, participated in this program during the first 6 months it was in operation last year. The maioritv of students who participated were previously uninvolved in any other extra curricular program. A number of fund raising activities, such as bake sales and a car wash raised money to buy much needed equipment. With matching fUnds from the East campus Community Government, the club was able to purchase about $400 of new equipment. This year T-shirts have been designed by the sponsor and members with the club's emblem (mi them. ' Mr. Mathis, the club's sponsor, has a number of efforts under way to attract new members. A record board isiised to give the weight lifted by students by weight class. In addition to the record board, athletes are encouraged to participate in thfeir off-seasons. In the future there is hope that some form of interscholastic competition could be organized. ' . , v Each student is also given a personal progress chart. This and every other effort is geared toward fulfilling What sponsors "Consider to be a very important goal of the program: to increase each student's feeling of self-worth mid self-confidence. Every student is encouraged to compete against himself and to avoid determining his success or failure solely by comparing himself to others. Every attempt is made to make the atmosphere for workouts as non-threatening as possible and to encourage members to help each other and work hard. Both the construction project and the resulting increase in canal traffic could strongly benefit Panama's troubled economy. Another alternative would recognize the importance of viewing the canal in the context of a comprehensive U.S. policy toward Latin America. This one would enlarge the scope of the canal's governing board by adding international directors. In addition to the group of permanent U S. seats, the board might include a group of Panamanian seats and a third group of members from throughout Latin America (and possibly other canal-using nations) whose terms could rotate. This would be rather like the business that adds a consumer representative to its board to get the benefit of the customer's perspective. Another possibility for discussion would be an arrangement for turning over to Panamanian courts Panamanian citizens who violate laws in the Canal Zone. Another Bridge? Many times during the course of the 'treaty negotiations the Panamanians have complained that the Canal Zone divides their country in two. One bridge connects the two halves. I am told by engineers familiar with the canal area teat it would be possible to add another bridge to improve access. Could an easement over the bridges be granted to Panama to improve its sense of national unity without compromising our rights of sovereignty in the Canal Zone? I do not know, but I suspect it is another of the alternatives that Senators (and their legal aides) wilt be looking into in the weeks before Congress reconvenes in January and the treaty debate enters its final stages. Canal Alternatives Which Panama Canal negotiator is right?... "U.S. ships go to the head of the line even if other ships are waiting to get into the canal." That was Sol Linowitz, the United States co-chief negotiator testifying last week before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "If, after examining the provision, the gringos with their warship say, 'I want to go through first,' then that is their problem with the other ships waiting there." That was Romulo Escobar Bethancourt, chief Panamanian negotiator in a speech in Panama City. Such contradictions are adding to the concern of treaty opponents that the two documents have a fatal flaw. That is, that we can expect in the future trouble-free, secure operation of the canal by Panama by giving up the basic rights we now have to operate and defend it. The Theme While the White House sales campaign goes on at Capitol Hill, Senate opponents are increasingly striking a theme that could be described as "ratification, no; alternatives, yes." The alternative most talked about is the Terminal Lake- Third Lock plan. This large scale construction project would update the canal, in­ crease its capacity and permit it to handle ail but a few of the world's largest ships. It would take nearly a decade to com­ plete at a cost between $1 and %2 bill if"1 Sitting Bull STEAK FEST ^•NOWATH ALL THE FOLLOWING STEAK DINNERS INCLUDE •Cracker Basket *Soup •Salad Bar •Rolls & Butter •Plus....
