But this is different That is what life is all about out there." escorted the Cincinnati Bengals (UPI)-Pol- ice U.S. reactors 'uniformly and the San Francisco 49ers to and from their Super Bowl workout Wednesday, isolating players from the violence that has intruded itself on tne NFL's annual mediocre,' party. Except for the practice time and the hour spent with writers and broadcasters Wednesday, most players stayed close to their hotels following two nights of shooting, arson and looting that made up the fourth outbreak of racial violence to hit Miami in the 1980s. "I didn't go out at all last night," said Cincinnati quarterback Boomer Esiason. "I was afraid I might make a wrong turn somewhere." Miami police arrested 250 people Tuesday night on the second night of rioting, originally sparked by the shooting of a black motorcyclist by a white policeman. Despite the unrest, Super Bowl Host Committee Chairman Dick Anderson said he expected his city would bid for the game again at the earliest available opportunity and that he thought the NFL would return the event to Miami. He said no Super d activities had been canceled and that he did not expect any to be. As the already long week reached its midway, point, players and coaches tried to cling to the routine that is so important to a football team. Wednesday marked the return to practice for both teams following a day off Tuesday and signaled the start of the final burst of serious preparation. S. ,"In all the other countries the performance has improved with time. The industry has collectively improved the problems," said Kent Hansen; a professor of nuclear engineering who helped conduct the study. "The U.S. has not been able to do that. Performance has stayed uniformly mediocre," said Hansen, whose study was published in the MIT magazine Technology Review.

In the United States, reactors averaged only 60 percent availability in 1984 and did not improve in the early 1980s, the researchers said. Researchers blamed the poorer performance on a number of factors, including conflicts between regulators and the utilities and management problems, "All the other countries did it in a collective effort. In the U.S., we have not succeeded in doing that.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that while some U.S. nuclear reactors performed as efficiently as the best in other countries, the rest performed so badly they dragged down the average U.S. performance to 60 percent of capacity.

Blum noted that unemployment is 5.3 percent, the lowest level in 14 years, and factories are operating at high capacity. "Because these high operating rates threaten to increase inflation, monetary restraint is likely to slow the economy's growth from recent high rates to a more sustainable trend," Blum said. "As a result, further reductions in the federal budget deficit will probably be modest if spending reductions or tax increases do not take place." The administration-usi- ng assumptions of lower inflation and interest rates, and higher growth than those used by the Congressional Budget Office and most private economists-- is forecasting that the deficit will be eliminated by fiscal 1993 as required by the n balanced budget law. 1985 economic But if the new assumptions of higher interest, inflation and slower growth prove correct, the Gramm-Rudma- n law mandating elimination of the deficit by fiscal 1993 would require much larger spending cuts or tax increases than would be needed under Reagan's rosy economic assumptions.

In the past, students did not have to apply for eligibility for the loans, Weight said. Indeed, the federal government had a virtual "open-door- " policy for its loans until October 1981. Eligibility requirements were tightened again in 1986. One problem that has arisen is students applying for loans too late to receive-th- e mtey in time for an added Weight upcoming quarter, "Students, some even in graduate school, who should . be applying (for loans) early don't and find out the money won't be there in time," he explained. These late applications, coupled with the department's "suspicions," have resulted in a plan to "advertise" available loan money in campus publications before the next academic quarter. Gary Grovergl, a student loan official for First Security Bank, is not aware of the problem because such factors as income and race do not appear on loans processed through his office. "I think that (the reluctance of certain people to borrow) is true of borrowing in general, thougn," Grover added. register for C9 EYE EXAM tj $) Czi 2 EXTENDED WEAR K1BQIRSQ2Q DEEHADLEY Institute Faculty "Happiness is the purpose of our existence" Institute Chapel , FRIDAY 9 P.M. - MIDNIGHT LDSSA A STOMP complete SATURDAY with purchase of exam GGSMh KERB (333 & ill I - ' PARK CITY 2ND LDSSA SKI DAY' &mm- $32 tickets for $17 on sale at Park City Lodge 8:30 - Cash only Pair offers excluded Lambda Delta Sigma South Building - $3.00 9 New pts. only.
