Wis AP) Gov Anthony Earl was presented proposal today by Wisconsin Superintendent of Public Instruction Herbert Grover urging that all high school students in the state be required to meet more stringent requirements for graduation. Students would have to earn 24 units to graduate, taking an average of six courses a year, and would be able to take a smaller number electives.

The 24 units would include four years of English, three years of social studies, two years of mathematics, two years of science, l'j years of physical education and a half year of health education. The students would also have to take six units in vocational education, fine arts or a second language. That would leave only leave five units for elective courses. Grover said he did not favor imposing the requirements statewide at this time because local school districts were raising the requirements on their own. But Ronald McCrea, Earl's press secretary, said the governor would seek immediate approval of the proposals by the asaHMaai Wood Mrs.

(AP) Peg Reif had tried the local adoption agencies, and was told she and her husband Peter couldn't even get on their waiting lists. Then they contacted United Referral International and Debbie Tanner of Willcox, in an effort to legally adopt a Mexican infant. In November, 1982 they sent in the necessary forms with a $1,000 check. A month later the couple was contacted for more information. "Then she called and said things were moving faster than expected and we could have our child in three months," Mrs.

Reif said. "Debbie said there was a new area opening up in Mexico and it would require another $2,500 right away for additional medical expenses." The elated couple sent the money and an additional form. "We had beep told it might take as long as 12 to 18 months, so that was when our emotions took over completely, we got incredibly pumped up," Mrs. Reif said. In February they were told that things had been delayed, and in June they were told the same thing.

They tried to called LOS ANGELES APi Increasingly mindful that homosexuals comprise a big and affluent market, purveyors of everything from banking services to pricey liquors are cashing in with ads and messages aimed at gay consumers. These days, such established businesses as Seagrm, Absolut Vodka, Simon Schuster and Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. are sharing space in the Advocate, a national gay news magazine, with such advertisers as gay bathhouses, X-rated theaters and gay-owned shops. For those who know how to tap a consumer group that favors entertaining, vacations and conspicuous consumption, the market is ripe, say the advertisers and leaders of eav communities. "In our society, it seems like two things count: votes and money," Advocate publisher Peter Frisch, whose magazine has 89,000 subscribers and claims 450,000 readers, told the Los Angeles Times recently.

une recent ad campaign, for Boodles British Gin, a Seagram brand, offered a $19.95 bar mirror with etched portraits of six historical figures, including Walt Whitman and Oscar Wilde. Savvy readers would know all six were purportedly homosexual. In a 1982 marketing survey of 1,275 gay men in cities, four out of five said they were more likely to buy products or services from "national businesses (that) maintained a presence in the gay media or active involvement with the gay community." Moreover, the survey by Walker Struman of Los Angeles found that the income of the typical homosexual household, with two employed adults and no children, was $27,200 15 percent above the median family income reported by the 1980 U.S. Census. Corporations are targeting the gay community in different ways.

Pernod Ricard, the largest distiller in France, hosted a series of Pernod-tasting parties at fancy gay bars in San Francisco last spring, hoping to popularize its anise-flavored cordial. Pernod also donated money to the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Marching Band, which provided a string quartet to play at the parties. "Eventually we want to get the best of the gay market," said Bud Fenzel, a manager with Austin Nichols a liquor distributor and distiller that is helping Pernod with its marketing. He said marketers believe gay people are often trendsetters with products that later become popular among the general public. Proxmire criticizes NASA spending (AP) Sen.

William Proxmire, today bestowed his "Golden Fleece" award for January on NASA for spending more than $780,000 to fly 2,228 government employees and private guests to witness launchings of the space shuttle at Cape Canaveral, Fla. "The average taxpayer will never get a free shuttle to Florida, but he will be sent into orbit when he gets the bill for those who do," Proxmire said in a statement announcing the monthly booby prize he gives for what he considers an example of wasteful federal spending. But the National Aeronautics and Space Administration defended the practice on grounds that most of the people transported were "U.S. government officials from the executive or legislative branches with policy responsibilities for the space program." Other passengers included "representatives of other governments that are cooperating with NASA in space exploration, or are customers or potential customers of NASA launch services," the agency said in a statement.

Following graduation he was employed at Mirro Corporation as a draftsman in 1929. He was then Tool and Die Supervisor in 1952, assistant manager in 1955, and manager in 1964, retiring in 1967. He married Frieda Terens on July 8, 1931, at Rockford, III. The couple returned to Manitowoc, celebrating their for $3,500 Debbie Tanner and they wrote angry letters. Then, a week and a half ago, they saw a network news program that said a couple identified by the FBI as Debbie Tanner and Bryan M.

Hall were under investigation for swindling would-be adoptive parents across the country. A few days later, they got a mimeographed letter in the mail from Debbie Tanner, saying she was retiring from the adoption business, but the Reifs would continue to receive "assistance" as well as credit for what they had paid. "This is the toughtest thing Pete and I have ever been through," Mrs. Reif told an interviewer.

OSCEOLA, Ark. (AP) With $2,000 and used bricks, an out-of-work man who figured he should "do it myself" has built what the U.S. Marines say is the first memorial to the 241 servicemen killed in the bombing of Marine headquarters in Lebanon. But that's just part of Allen Starr's plans for honoring the men killed in the Oct. 23 terrorist attack.

In his will, he said, he has left his entire estate to the servicemen widows "for their children's college education."

Prompted by bulletins read from church pulpits, about 500 people gathered for dedication rites Sunday afternoon in a Censured priest returns MILWAUKEE (AP) A Roman Catholic priest who was suspended after being accused of violating the confidentiality of the confessional returned Sunday to his pulpit, likening his punishment to that of Christ. "The bleeding has stopped, but the scars are still there," the Rev. Arthur J. Baertlein told worshippers at St.

Catherine Catholic Church. Baertlein, 63, having celebrated mass for 39 years, had been forbidden by the Milwaukee Archdiocese for six months to say mass publicly or perform other priestly duties. Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland said last week that the church's Roman Curia had at last cleared Baertlein of directly violating the confessional by mentioning a woman's confession to illustrate a point in a sermon in June. The Vatican had said he indirectly violated confidentiality, leaving it up Leakland to impose punishment.

The archbishop said he is ending the suspension, but that Baertlein would be assigned next year to another parish with fewer administrative duties. About 700 persons, some of them weeping, greeted the priest when he returned Sunday. Addressing worshippers, Baertlein cited the apostle Thomas, known as "Doubting Thomas" because, in the Book of John, he doubts the redirection of Christ until allowed to touch Christ's wounds. "Take your finger and put it into the wounds of my hands and your hand into my side. Here I am," Baertlein said.
