...Steve Symms of Idaho, up for re-election next year, says he will "support" Reagan's plan but oppose the provisions that adversely affect his state: reduced tax breaks for the timber industry, mortgage deductions for vacation homes, mineral-depletion allowances and investment tax credits for farmers.

...another reversal for the press last week, a federal appeals panel in St. Louis overturned a judge's decision and reinstated a $10 million libel suit by South Dakota Governor William Janklow against Newsweek magazine.

In Ames, Iowa, 15,000 people, many wearing bright green FARM CRISIS ribbons, jammed a midweek protest rally at Iowa State University's Hilton Coliseum carrying signs reading FARMS, NOT ARMS and NO BILL, NO TILL. Back East, eight farm-state Senators...
Fusco can now take aim at the ECAC consecutive game scoring record of 32, held by Brain Cornell of Cornell (1967-69). Craig Homola of Vermont (1978-80) and fellow junior Adam Ontes of RPI, who ran 32 straight until North Dakota shut him out in last year's NCAA quarter finals...
