People in the news There is Will, but it’s no way ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) Columnist and TV commentator George F. Will has resigned as a University of Maryland regent under pressure, but Gov. William Donald Schaefer said he isn’t ready to | accept Will’s departure. Schaefer said he will decide whether to ask Will to remain on the Board of Regents after he talks to board Chairman Peter O’Malley. The Evening Sun of Baltimore has reported that Will attended none of the seven regents’ meetings since he was appointed last July and has not attended subcommittee meetings. “I think he thought he was under pressure from the j press and others as to why he didn’t attend,” the [ governor said. But he said Will made it clear when he agreed to accept the appointment last summer that he would miss many meetings because of his busy schedule, i Will writes a syndicated newspaper column and is a comentator for ABC-TV. Will resigned March 2, saying the demands of his profession were “incompatible” with service on the board. But Schaefer said he is nonetheless a valuable addition to the Board of Regents because of his prestige. I • BOSTON (AP) Kitty Dukakis says she would have preferred to keep her personal crisis and drinking problem private, but she now wants to help others. “My hope is that by being public, I might encourage others to seek help through programs like the one I entered at Edgehill Newport and the extraordinary fellowship of AA,” she said Thursday, adding that she is eager to go through the Alcoholics Anonymous program. The wife of Gov. Michael Dukakis also said she had a drinking problem long before encountering the stresses of her husband’s public life. “I don’t blame the (presidential) campaign for my being an alcoholic,” she said. Mrs. Dukakis, 52, spoke at a news conference two days after completing a monthlong rehabilitation program in Rhode Island. She said her drinking became a serious problem in the three “terribly painful and lonely” months after her husband’s defeat. ! • WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Jake Gam, who flew aboard the space shuttle in 1985, has used the spacecraft as grist for his first novel, “Night Launch.” The plot involves a terrorist hijacking of a space shuttle flight. The book, co-written with Stephen Paul Cohen and published by William Morrow in New York City, is set for release April 24. Gam, a Utah Republican, declined to be interviewed about the novel until his publisher begins a publicity drive. He flew as a congressional observer on the Discovery in April 1985.

JOHNNY CARSON No snow job

BURBANK, Calif. (AP) Johnny Carson, host of “The Tonight Show” for 26 years, says he’ll be back for at least one more season because of the weather. Carson said Wednesday he recently had lunch with Brandon Tartikoff, president of NBC entertainment and signed on for another year. “Last year I said to him I made a foolish mistake I said I’ll do another year when it snows in Malibu. And it snowed in Malibu so here we are,” Carson said. A rare snowstorm struck earlier this winter at the seaside community that is home to Carson and many other celebrities. • NEW YORK (AP) Singing star Lisa Lisa, actress Susan St. James and New York Knicks basketball player Sidney Green helped kick off a state program to build students’ self-esteem and curb the dropout rate. The volunteer mentor program they helped launch Wednesday will encourage sixth-graders to stay in school. “If you have dreams, that is what you have to make reality,” said Lisa Lisa. “No matter how many doors are slammed in your face.” Ms. St. James reminisced about an uncle who nurtured her dream of becoming an actress. “Take advantage of it,” she said of the mentor program. “This is your chance to be better than the next guy.” Public service announcements to recruit adult mentors, especially former teachers and other retired people, will be narrated by actor Gregory Peck. • MADISON, Wis. (AP) Dith Pran, a New York Times photographer whose harrowing experiences in his native Cambodia inspired the movie “The Killing Fields,” says a holocaust could recur there. The United States must prevent the Khmer Rouge from regaining power in Cambodia, Pran told a University of Wisconsin audience Wednesday. He urged his listeners to write their congressmen to put pressure on China to stop supplying the Khmer Rouge, the extremist group accused of killing millions of Cambodians after it came to power in 1975. It is now one of several groups fighting Vietnamese occupation. “If you remain silent, the holocaust will happen al? over again,” said Pran, who escaped from Cambodia into Thailand four years after the Khmer Rouge took
