Guerrilla leader Joshus Nkoma said "we have lost quite a few people." Wednesday Salisbury troops raided guerrilla camps in Mozambique. There was no word whether that raid was still in progress. There was no comment from Mozambique. NKOMO, HEAD of the Zambia-based. Zimbabwe African People's Union said, "They have destroyed almost every structure." He suggested the bombs might have been American-made, although the United States supports the United Nations' total embargo against Rhodesia. Nkomo said the planes dropped napalm, but Lusaka hospital soucres said thee was no evidence of napalm in- juries. One medical source said more than 300 men of military age were treated at one hospital. The source estimated the death toll at "dozens." In Salisbury, the Rhodesian capital, the military comand said its forces had struck Nkomo's main headquarters and that the attackers were returning to their bases. A RHODESIAN military spokesman said the Zambian government was warned in advance and told the target was Nkomo's headquarters. Nkomo said the base was a camp for the sick, the young and refugees. "The bombs were very powerful and they don't make those bombs in Salisbury," Nkomo said. "I wonder whether (Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian) Smith doesn't get them from where he has gone shopping," an ap- parent reference to Smith's visit to the United States. ' BLACK SMOKE rose over the Chikumbi Camp and ruins of buildings were evident from the camp's sealed gates. Tremors from the bombs shook Lusaka and destroyed several shanties. Reporters were barred from the camp by armed guerrillas but said most of the casualties evacuated were men of military age wearing green fatigues. Reports from the site said the 45- minute attack was by six jets and about five helicopters, but there was no in- dication that Rhodesian ground troops were involved. THE ATTACK came the day after Rhodesia announced a raid into S. Africa considers, elections run by. U.N.- Mozambique to its east, the base of Robert Mugabe's guerrillas. Mugabe and Nkomo lead a loose alliance called the Patriotic Front, and hve been trying to topple the Salisbury government for six years. Their efforts increased after an in- terim biracial government was formed, March 3. ZAMBIA ISSUED a statement saying a ZAPU "refugee camp" was attacked, and that the Rhodesians were "repulsed by gallant Zambian forces." Nkomo said the camp was being built by the United Nations and Red Cross as a future home for ZAPU children Tens of thousands of black refugees have fled Rhodesia to neighboring countries. Western diplomatic sources say there are four ZAPU camps and two refugee camps within 12 miles of Lusaka. The raids came while all four mem- bers of Rhodesia's interim govern- ment-Smith, Bishop Abel Muzorewa, the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole and Chief Jeremiah Chirau-were in Washington. They are scheduled to meet Saturday with State Department officials on the subject of Rhodesian peace talks that would include the guerrillas. Asked if the raids would affect the talks, Nkomo said: "How do you talk with these criminals who use napalm? It shows the humbug that is going on. Smith is talking with the Americans at the same time as he is attacking Mozambique and Zambia and talking about an all-party conference." 11 PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) - Though South Africa still plans to run its own elections in troubled Namibia (also known as South-West Africa, of- ficials there made a pact with Western powers to reopen negotiations for later elections supervised by the U.N. South Africa stopped short of a firm commitment to U.N. elections, however, and the Westerners rejected the legitimacy of the South African- planned voting. Moreover, South African Prime Minister Pieter Botha raised a potentially major side issue, saying his country will not withdraw its troops from the mineral-rich territory until the 12-year-old war with black nationalist guerrillas ends. BUT WEST German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher said in Bonn that the agreement he, Secretary of State Cyrus Vance and three other Western diplomats reached with the South Africans represents a "very important advance." Vance, in Switzerland preparing for a new round of arms talks in Moscow, was more non-committal, saying the Westerners are puzzled about the pur- pose of the first round of elections.

By AMY SALTZMAN with Wire Service reports A 21-year-old Ypsilanti man was shot and captured by State Police yesterday following a seven-hour shooting spree which left five persons dead and two wounded. Among the slain were the parents of suspect Billy Hardesty, who was woun- ded and taken into custody at their Van Buren home. He is listed in critical con- dition at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Superior Township. HARDESTY HAS been charged with three counts of first degree murder and two counts of assault with intent to in Ypsi commit murder in cortnection with the shootings, police said. No bond has been set in his case. Charges have yet to be issued in the death of Hardesty's parents. Jan Hardesty, the suspect's mother, was found shot in a bedroom of the Van Buren house. Police believed she was dead before yesterday's shoot-out, and was not struck by police bullets. THE BODY OF Richard Hardesty, the accused gunman's father, was found in a chest-type freezer on the back porch of the house. Although blood was found on his head, the exact cause of death has not been established. The first in the series of shootings oc- curred at 2 a.m. Thursday when two men were killed in the parking lot of Abigal's Dirty Shame Saloon in down- town Ypsilanti. The victims, Timothy Schofield, 21, of Belleville, and Troy Curry, 28, of Canton, were shot in the head and chest, police said. About two hours later, Daniel Wood, 38, of Canton, was shot to death and two other men were wounded inside an Yp- silanti Township tool and die shop about a mile east of the bar. The two wounded men, Tommy Brown, 29, and Bobby Baker, both of Tecumseh, are listed in serious con- dition at St. Joseph's. STATE POLICE said Hardesty knew all the victims, and it appeared all had been shot with a .22-caliber pump ac- tion rifle. One of the two men wounded at the shop gave Hardesty's name and a description of his car to sheriff's deputies, officials said. In the meantime, according to Richard Frye, 43, a friend who lived a few houses down the road from Har- shooting spree He pointed the .22 rifle at me and I shot him.

Officers finally rushed Hardesty at the door and arrested him. POLICE RECOVERED three 'There was one witness at the tavern and he was a friend of one of the victims.

I ________________________________________________ CITES SAMOFF TENURE CASE- Kozol urges student activism By MARIANNE EGRI and ELISA FRYE Urging students to organize around a single issue rather than attack all problems, author and educator Jonathan Kozol tackled the matter of lack of student power and academic repression yesterday in an "Ideas for Action" workshop at the Michigan Union. Kozol assumed a conversational air at the talk, sponsored by People's Ac- tion Coalition (PAC), and encouraged response from the crowd of about 60, persons. STRESSING THE importance of political science Assistant Prof. Joel Samoff's tenure case as a blatant example of lack of student input, Kozol urged students to organize around it. Some observers say Samoff has been twice denied tenure on the basis of the quality of his research, rather than his Friday . Spartacus Youth League and educational capabilities. "We're very enthusiastic about this," said PAC member Jenny Patchen. "We're forming a Samoff support- committee that's meeting tonight and we're hoping to start an organization that will put pressure on various parts of the academic hierarchy so we can get Samoff tenure." MSA member Jim Sullivan said he hoped the Samoff committee would develop into a permanent support group on tenure. "THIS TIME we're trying to undo a decision that's already been made, but in the future we want to have a commit- tee ready to make input before a tenure decision is made," he said. Sullivan added there is a lack of em- phasis on teaching on this campus, and students have to change this attitude. Yesterday afternoon Kozol chatted with various students while autographing his new book Children of the Revolution. He said the book is about the Cuban campaign against illiteracy which started in 1961. "CASTRO educated the school kids during the day, and in the afternoon he sent the kids out into the countryside to spread their knowledge to the peasan- ts," explained Kozol. He claimed as a result the literacy rate in Cuba has in- creased to 98 per cent as compared to 80 per cent in the United States. Although the group of students talking to Kozol kept changing, the reaction was basically the same. "I never heard of him until last night, and I had to buy the book today," said University student Sunny Mainprize. Kozol is the author of Free Schools, The Night is Dark and I am Far From Home and Death at an Early Age. After working in Cuba a year ago, Kozol was eager to relate his experien- ces' with and impressions of the Cuban school system to a mostly-student audience of about 600 that heard him speak Wednesday night at Rackham Auditorium. "SCHOOLS HERE are built on inert ideas, ideas that lead to nothing," he said. "Childhood is a preparation for life, but not a part of it." . This, he claimed, is a "vivid con- trast" to Cuba, where "schools are based on firm possession of concrete action. There is an application of what is learned in the morning to what they do in the afternoon." Kozol would like to see a similar literacy revolution in the United States. "By Christmas of 1979 there is no damn reason on earth why we could not call ourselves, like Cuba, a nation free See KOZOL, Page 5 desty's parents, Hardesty showed up at Frye's home and said Troy and the others had been "hassling" him about his ex-wife and daughter. Frye said Hardesty left after a half-hour, and soon police cars roared up to the Har- desty home. Trooper David Koetsier, one of those who shot Hardesty, said officers found a car in the driveway matching the description of the one they wanted. House lights were on and music was playing. The officers tried in vain to reach Hardesty by telephone, Koetsier said. HE SAID Hardesty later "stepped out on the porch with a .22. He saw me here. shotguns and a rifle from the house af- ter Hardesty's arrest, According to neighbors, Hardesty had been hospitalized for drug addic- tion about six months ago. Aron Kaufman, a University sophomore who was riding in a police car for a political science class, said the main problem of tracking down the vic- tim, was a lack of witnesses. "There was one witness at the tavern and he was a friend of one of the victims. He was so flipped out that he couldn't speak, so the police had nothing to go on."

"See Stoops to Conquer," a By RICHARD BERKE Political Science Assistant Professor Joel Samoff, who was denied tenure for the second time last February, yester- day filed an official appeal with Literary College (LSA) Dean Billy Frye contesting the decision of the department's tenured faculty.. In his fifteen-page appeal, Samoff said he presents evidence that the procedure by which his teaching, research, and service was examined "prevented a fair evaluation." Following LSA rules, the appeal disputes the tenure rejections on procedural grounds and not the reasoning behind them. SAMOFF, who came to the Univer- sity in fall, 1970, is known for his exper- tise in South African affairs and political economy and has been called a "Marxist political economist." Obser- vers claim the quality of Samoff's research and his political views were among the reasons for his tenure denials. Samoff said he waited several mon- ths before filing the appeal because he unfair way of introducing political and personal biases." Samoff said his appeal also states that the department chairman did not present the tenured faculty with an adequate background on University guidelines for tenure decisions. He said that a lack of complete understanding of the guidelines by tenured faculty members may have led to the tenure denials. Samoff said another "intrusion" into his receiving a fair evaluation was the fact that live department members were up for tenure when his case was See PROF., Page 5 Samoff City officials want PBB leakage tests By KEVIN ROSEBOROUGH tons of grain dumped at the landfill i City officials plan to request specific 1974, according to William Turne3 tests by state and county authorities for chief" of the environmental protectio In Y, n Landlords 'can live' with new tenant law By MARK PARRENT Many local landlords say they feel the "Truth in Renting Act" signed into clauses listed in the act itself.
