(AP) Here the Army trains soldiers to make tasty penguins out of hard-boiled eggs, carve swans out of ice, groom dogs and empty ash trays. Other lessons range from bartending to flower arranging.

The purpose is to prepare enlisted men, all volunteers for the program, for the job of making Army generals and their families more comfortable. Or, as an Army spokesman explains it, "to put the commanding officer and his family in the forefront of the Army installation and the community." Some program critics call the personal aides servants. Most generals get one aide for each star on their shoulders. A General Accounting Office report says that in pay and allowances alone the personal aides program costs the Army $3.6 million yearly. The Navy spends $4.4 million, the Air Force $4.3 million and the Marines $837,000 on similar programs, the report says.

Courses are given six times a vear, and the Army reports a total of 404 graduates. The waiting list of generals requesting aides is now at about 80. Some generals don'l ask for aides, according to the spokesman. He said soldiers spend 70 hours learning the duties and responsibilities of an enlisted aide, 109 hours on management of dining facilities and 137 hours on "the advanced principles of cooking, baking and garnishing." Duties listed in the course outline include pet care, cleaning a general's quarters, care of officer's uniform and equipment, preparation of center pieces and ice carvings and watering plants. Helping a general's wife includes reminding her of appointments, providing her with transportation and assisting her role as hostess, according to the outline.

Militant Indians took over the BIA building and gave it up after a week of negotiations, often with White House of-ficials. Government spokesmen said many art objects and documents were stolen and estimates of damage ranged to nearly $2 million. Anderson issued a statement that Whitten "stole no documents. He is guilty only of writing the story of the stolen documents. The story, of course, has been highly embarrassing to the government.

"It's a story of how the government cheated and defrauded and neglected the Indians in violation of their treaty rights. We will continue to write this story." LaNada Boyer, 26, a Shoshone-Bannock who is a law student at Antioch College Washington campus, said two FBI agents came to her home and remained, awaiting a search warrant. She said she also expected to be arrested. "I am sure they are also arresting people on the reservations," Mrs. Boyer said.

"This is the start of it all." Miss Boyer was in the BIA building during the takeover. "The agents had with them an undercover agent who had been here with us, who had been posing as our friend," Miss Boyer said. "He came in shortly after the agents got here, he just came in and smiled around. I called him a traitor. He said he was an undercover officer." Opal Ginn, of Anderson's office, said Whitten was taken to the FBI headquarters in handcuffs.

22.1-2MM) .10 P.M. Revenue Bill Becomes Law Authority for North Dakota's counties, cities and townships to spend money received through the federal revenue sharing program is provided in a bill signed by Gov. Arthur A. Link. Deisgnated as Senate Bill 2038, the measure makes the revenue sharing money an appropriation in the final budgets of the recipient governmental units and thus authorizes its expenditure.

North Dakota League of Cities spokesmen explained that authority to spend the money prior to July 1 was under question because the various governing boards had not included the money in their budgets for the current fiscal year. Under the law any money spent must be included in the official budgets. Declared an emergency measure, the bill became law and took effect when signed by the governor.

Sears Best High Efficiency Junior College Aid Measure Is Supported Operating costs have increased so fast at Bismarck Junior College in the past few years that officials have had to dip into revenues which have traditionally been set aside for building and development, BJC president Ralph Werner told Senate Education Committee Tuesday. Werner testified in favor of a bill (SB 2334) which would increase state aid to the community junior colleges from $500 per student per year to $600. "We are not asking for an increase, we are asking for an adjustment to meet rising costs," Werner said.

The bill, which would also allow for state aid payments to junior colleges for summer students, was given a do-pass recommendation by the Education Committee and was later referred to the Senate Appropriations Committee. Werner said the total amount of revenue BJC can generate for one vocational education student is about $1492 per year. This figure is about $266 short of the cost of educating that student, he added. Werner said the cost of educating an academic student for one year is about with revenue from traditional sources amounting only to The difference is made up by dipping into what have traditionally been earmarked as building funds: the second four mills of the junior college's eight mill levy. Under state law a junior college such as BJC can levy eight mills.

The rule of thumb for many years, Werner said, has been lo use four mills for operating expenses and four mills for building and development. He said BJC is mm using six and seven mills for operating expenses. demral Air Loiidiiioiiiiig-f Plan Save $5595 Unit Comes With 20,000 BTU Condensing Unit and Slope Coil.
