Show Page A Wednesday, March 2, 1977 S STILL OUT THERE INTERNATIONAL Moscow - At least 11 persons were killed and 20 others have been reported dead unofficially as the result of a fire which broke out in the huge Hotel Rossiya in Moscow Friday night. Three Americans were treated for smoke inhalation but none of them was believed to be in serious condition. Approximately 100 persons were injured in the blaze which swept through the north wing and central tower of the 3,200-room hotel. Kampapa, Uganda - President Idi Amin Friday prohibited any Americans from leaving Uganda until he meets with them Wednesday morning. Amin ordered lists drawn up of Americans and their property. A Ugandan spokesman said there was no reason for alarm and that the Americans would be free to leave after the meeting. There are approximately 240 Americans, mostly missionaries, mission-aries, spread throughout Uganda. Amin's surprise move, if there is such a thing for the Ugandan president, followed by two days charges that the United States, Britain and Israel had plotted to overthrow him in a coup which he thwarted two weeks ago. Amin also declared the United States should consider its own human rights crimes before meddling in Ugandan affairs. The black Anglican archbishop and two government ministers were killed on February 16 after being arrested for plotting against Amin. The Ugandan government reported the trio died in an automobile crash but it is widely speculated that Amin had them killed or even did it himself. President Carter last Wednesday said that recent events in Uganda have "disgusted the entire civilized world." Madrid - The Spanish government announced Saturday that a 53-year-old ban on gambling casinos will be lifted in a move designed to attract at-tract foreign tourist dollars.

According to Tass, mission commander Viktor Gorbatko and flight engineer Yuri Glazov successfully completed their docking mission with the Salyut 5 orbital lab. The lab, launched last June, remained in orbit and it is expected that other manned Soviet missions will be making use of it.

The Hawaiian Patroit was the ninth Liberian-registered Liberian-registered vessel to be involved in an accident since the middle of December. Denver - Being shot, stabbed, beaten and bitten is the form of punishment experienced by some five million American children at the hands of their parents, according to a nationwide study. The survey, designed to discover what leads to violence in the home and how to stop it, showed that 1.2 million parents across the nation have used knives or guns on their children. More than 80 percent of those parents sampled said they sometimes slapped or spanked their children. Honolulu - A former Mafia boss turned informer for the FBI who had his cover blown when deported by the Australian government disappeared disap-peared in Honolulu enroute to San Francisco. Vincent "Big Vinnie Teresa ''apparently went into hiding, fearing for his life after mobsters reportedly placed a $500,000 "contract" on his head. Previously , Teresa, 48, said, "I know what the Mafia can do to a man. One day you wake up and find your head in one room and your legs in another." Brookline, Mass. - Convicted and recently released Watergate burglar Howard Hunt, also a former CIA agent, said last Wednesday that giving money to foreign governments is "an honored tradition within the CIA." The Washington Post has reported that millions of dollars have been paid to foreign officials, including Jordan's King Hussein. Hunt said he assumed these "subsidies" were provided in return for cooperation with the CIA. MENTAL HEALTH Motivation featuring: EXPRESSO AND CAPACUINO COFFEES CREPES AND FONDUE andspecializingin: PINEAPPLE CREPES WITH RUM School Bonds Sold The $800,000 high school auditorium bond issue was sold last week, the Park City School District announced.

Fifty to 60 percent of the snow cover in Jupiter Bowl slid Thursday and Friday when avalanche control explosives ex-plosives were set off. "There's nothing for the. snow to adhere to," Jones observed; : i I:) He said heavy snow on a thin, icy base is causing "a very unstable situation everywhere ev-erywhere and people should proceed accordingly." Alta also reported large slides. Despite the slides, there was sufficient snow to open the Jupiter area for the first time Saturday and response from those who skied it was very positive. On Wednesday, the Hoist slid as did part of the Men's Giant Slalom run.

Dr. Ford McBride Timpanogos Mental Health Center Questions I often hear are, "I'm bored with what I'm doing, how can I be more motivated?" or "I'm in a rut, what can I do to get out and get going?" In teaching a class on the psychology of motivation I've found that people want to know how to motivate themselves or other people. I like to think of personal motivation as an ongoing striving to meet one's potential. poten-tial. It's a process that encourages en-courages development and progress toward personal goals. In evaluating people who are motivated, I've found they share the common characteristic of being interested in-terested in what they're doing. The motivated person, is not only concerned about what he does but he becomes absorbed in the task. Can you picture a motivated individual in-dividual who has no interest in what he is involved in? Instead of asking what you can do to be motivated, a question that is more meaningful is what can you do to gain interest in what you're doing. Keep in mind that interest in a task must precede motivation. ' To develop interest in your job or other activities, consider con-sider the following points : One, seek knowledge. Be an expert in what you do. In- terest grows according to how much knowledge is acquired and put to use. There is always room for new information. Two, improve skills. Improving Im-proving skills not only develops competence but it also encourages confidence and maintains interest. Skill improvement is the foundation upon which interest rests. Three, be willing to make changes. Change stimulates challenge. If change is discouraged or not allowed it stifles interest and consequently con-sequently interferes with motivation. Motivation can't be pulled out of the air, but it can be planned and worked toward.
