Booked For Success The Shenango Valley Campus of Pennsylvania Stale University began a new tradition this school year. The campus in downtown Sharon started the High School Senior Honors Year Program. This project enabled area high school seniors to take college credit courses while fulfilling their needed required courses to graduate from high school. Selected by their high school principal, the students were carefully counseled as they made out fall term schedules. Although there have been other similar programs, this is the first which enables a student to attend college full time and apply for financial aide. Although attending college, they are still permitted the same privileges as high school seniors. They will also graduate with their senior class.

Scenes The Year Pacsi Falconi DeMasy Victorious Jumbo Jet Carrying 269 Missing Mayor Eugene C. Pacsi sees his re-election as a sign that Farrell residents want redevelopment to continue, but he isn't sure what displeased about 900 people who didn't vote for him even though he was the only mayoral candidate. Meanwhile, incumbent Councilman Louis A. Falconi has his eyes on higher positions after being top vote-getter all three times he's run for council. Falconi drew 1,496 votes and newcomer David DeMasy got 1,363 for two seats on council. They beat Harold Matthews, the only Republican in any Farrell race, who got 759 votes. Pacsi. who has been mayor since 1978. said he hopes to help all neighborhoods with continued redevelopment programs during his next four years in office. He said he also wants to find a way to satisfy apparently discontented residents who didn t vote for him. A Soviet fighter plane shot down a South Korean jumbo jet carrying 269 people. Pentagon sources said today. Japanese and South Korean officials also believed the airliner was shot down near the Soviet island of Sakhalin. Among those aboard was a US. congressman and a search was under way for any survivors in the frigid waters off Sakhalin. Pentagon sources in Washington said the Korean Air Lines plane was downed with a missile fired by a Soviet MiG-23, and said that the U.S. Air Force had confirmed the attack. The sources, who spoke on condition they remain anonymous, did not say how it was confirmed but indicated that radio monitoring devices may have picked up conversations between Soviet ground control and the MiG pilot. Japan said it appears likely“ the Soviets downed the airliner. If this (attack) is true, it should be regarded as very regrettable indeed. ” Foreign Minister Shintaro Abe told a Tokyo news conference. Japanese radar indicated the Korean Air Lines jumbo was pursued and shot down at an altitude of about six miles by three MiG-23s about 3:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday - and plummeted into the Japan Sea. The Soviet Union denied an earlier South Korean claim that the airliner landed on Sakhalin, but has said nothing further. In Seoul, South Korean Information Minister Lee Jin-Hue said it was almost certain the jet was attacked by a third country near the Soviet coast. Japan's foreign minister appointed a task force to carry out contacts among the Soviet Union. South Korea and the United States, a Foreign Ministry spokesman in Tokyo said. Lawrence P. McDonald 30
