Tanzania vows to hit back Viets claim Chinese repulsed at border By AP and UPI BANGKOK, Thailand-Vietnam said yesterday its forces repulsed two separate attacks by hundreds of Chinese troops who crossed into northern Vietnam and killed or wounded many Viet- namese soldiers. A Voice of Vietnam-broadcast from Hanoi said thousands of Chinese reinforcements were dispatched to the border area on the Chinese side. IT DESCRIBED the situation as "critical" and said the Foreign Ministry condemned the alleged border violations as "criminal acts." The battle followed two weeks of almost daily propaganda broadcasts from Hanoi accusing the Chinese of armed border ganda By AP and UPI DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania-Presi- ent Julius Nyerere vowed yesterday hat his army will hit back hard at the barbarian" Idi Amin, whose Ugandan nvasion force reportedly captured a trategic bridge and tightened its grip n a chunk of territory in northern Tan- ania. Government sources said Tanzania as planning a counter-attack aimed ot only at driving the invaders back cross the border but also at destroying he core of Ugandan President Amin's. ilitary strength. They said the gover- ment was considering, a general obilization to mount the offensive. THERE WERE no new battle reports ere, but Western diplomatic sources in airobi, Kenya, quoted Tanzanian of- icials as saying the Ugandans were in ontrol of the important Taka Bridge ver the Kagera River and were at the utskirts of the crossroads town of yaka, at the southern end of the ridge. Uganda said Wednesday that its roops, who invaded Tanzania last onday, seized a 710-square-mile area f swamp and scrub land south of the gandan-Tanzanian border and an- exed it to Uganda. Amin cited a historical claim to the rea. But relations between the two countries also have become bitter in recent years over other disputes, in- cluding Tanzania's harboring of anti- mn Ugandan exiles. GOVERNMENT sources here said the heaviest fighting earlier this week was in the Kyaka vicinity, where an un- disclosed number of Tanzanian troops battled with up to 3,000 Ugandan soldiers backed by artillery and tanks. In an angry speech to his ruling, Revolution Party, Nyerere said Ugan- da's announcement Wednesday that it had "annexed" Tanzanian territory was "tantamount to a declaration of war." "This man is a barbarian," Nyerere said. "He has killed so many people in Uganda." "We have the capacity to hit back at him. We have the reason to hit back at him. And we have the determination to hit back at him," Nyerere declared to cheers from the audience. i Daily Photo by ANDY FREEBERG PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER has found out that the men from Michigan share his taste in clothing.

LAUDS OWJN ACHIEVEMENTS AT FLINT RALLY: Carter stutmpsfor Dems intrusions. Western sources in Bangkok said tension along the frontier has mounted in recent weeks, but speculated that a full-scale conflict was unlikely. They also noted that official Chinese media have not reported much on the border situation. THE QUARREL was sparked earlier this year by Chinese accusations that Vietnam was mistreating its ethnic Chinese population. The situation wor- sened as about 150,000 of the Chinese made their way to China. Beneath this, most analysts see China's anger at Vietnam's close ties to the Soviet Union and Vietnam's ongoing border war with Cambodia, a Chinese ally. The official Vietnamese broadcasts claimed that a large number of Chinese troops penetrated the Trung Khanh district of Cao Lang Province on Wed- nesday. A later broadcast said hun- dreds of Chinese soldiers crossed into Cao Loc district, near the site of the earlier incident, opened fire and set up observation posts before being driven away by Vietnames militiamen Wed- nesday night. The radio said many Vietnamesi were killed and wounded at Trung Khanh.

RICHBURG special to The Daily FLINT - In a repeat performance of his 1976 campaign, President Car- ter returned yesterday to this blue- ,collar- industrial center to urge Democrats to "get out the vote" and elect a Democratic ticket this Tuesday. y With all the pomp and pageantry typical of a presidential visit - high, school bands, 7,000 stomping cheering supporters, and "Welcome back, Jimmy" placards - Carter used the occasion to sound a checklist of his own achievements, and then endorse the Democratic candidates seated with him on stage. CARTER BEGAN his half-hour speech by repeating a campaign theme he began earlier in New York, recalling that in 1960 - the last year Michigan elected a Democratic governor - two-thirds of the registered voters went to the polls. "Next Tuesday, two-thirds of they American people will not vote," he said. The President challenged everyone in the packed hall "to become a campaign manager" for gubernatorial candidate William Fitzgerald, Senatorial hopeful Carl Levin, and other state Democrats. The appearance in Flint for the state ticket could well have been a testimonial dinner for Carter him- self. Before his own speech - in which Carter lauded his achievements on unemployment and inflation - each of the candidates as well as Senator Don Riegle of Flint took turns praising the President. AND IRONICALLY, it was Carl Levin who gave Carter the most ringing indorsement. Levin had said earlier in his campaign that he would not invite the President into the state since the chief executive "doesn't fit the theme" of a resurgent legislature. "He also wouldn't do anything politically," Levin said then. Earlier in the day, Levin's op- ponent, Senator Robert Griffin kept his promise to crash the presidential See CARTER, Page 9 Carl Pursell is not unopposed MSU women's basketball team files suit in hopes of changing discrimination attitude By PAULA LASHINSKY Michigan State University's (MSU) women's basketball team members hope a suit they filed will change the school's attitude towards athletics from one of "all men are created equal" to "all' men and women are created equal." From there, team members say, MSU's efforts could be aimed at determining exactly what "equality" means. THE SUIT charges MSU with iolating Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1973, which forbids exual discrimination in any ucational program or activity which eceives federal funds. "In a broad context, not only concer-. ing MSU but universities in general, Ptle IX presents some complex problems. HEW hasn't sufficiently set guidelines to determine what exactly is required," said Byron Higgins, spokesman for MSU legal affairs. University of Michigan athletic direc- tor Donald Canham sees this same problem in language. "What are they saying by equal?" Canham asked. THE WOMEN filed a qomplaint with Heath, Education and Welfare (HEW) in June, 1978 but have yet to receive a response. MSU athletic department officials said' they have been given no formal notification of the complaint. A secretary for athletic director Josephy Kerney said,."this has nothing to do with us," and she referred the case to. the legal affairs office. The women's basketball team also filed a grievance complaint with MSU officials, listing specific cases of what they considered sex discrimination. KATHY DeBOER, spokeswoman for the team, said large discrepancies exist between coaches salaries, scholarship amounts, and per diem allowances. She said practice and game facilities provided for women are inferior to those afforded to men. MSU cannot formally respond to the women's basketball team until action is taken, by the HEW office in Chicago, according to Higgins. But the women complain that the ageny has been too slow in responding. "It seems to us that people are moving as slowly as they can," DeBoer said. The deadline for all educational in- stitutions for compliance with Title IX provisions was July 21, 1978. According to Higgins, MSU has taken steps towar- ds rectifying unequal conditions. "THE MAJOR thrust of the com- plaint we got concerned factilities," Higgins said. "MSU has recently spent several thousand dollars renovating another athletic development, putting in new locker rooms specifically for the women's use. This facility is suitable for both practice and contest play as it is adjacent to the gym," he said. Canham said athletic operations at large universities depend on large sums of money so revenue-producing sports can keep non-money-making sports alive. "We spend $1 million on football here," Canham said, "but we net close to $5 million. It's this money that keeps our other sports working." TITLE IX mandates that equal ex- penditures are not required for male and female athletes, though necessary funds be allocated for equipment and supplies. "If we were forced into an equal dollar situation, this place would go See ATHLETES, Page 8 By MICHAEL ARKUSH After all the trouble he had getting on the ballot, Earl Greene still has to con- vince people he's running for U.S. Congress. On Tuesday night, Detroit's Channel 4 omitted mentioning the city coun- cilman (D-Second Ward) during its prime-time program "Final Decisions," a three-hour look at the congressional races in Michigan. He was the only official candidate not men- tioned. DURING THE telecast, Republican Rep. Carl Pursell and American In- dependent Party candidate Henry Kroes - Greene's opponents for the second congressional district seat - gave short campaign presentations. Then, as if that were not enough, the Detroit News made the same mistake. On Wednesday, in a summary of U.S. Congressional races in Michigan, the News listed Pursell as running unop- posed. Greene's staff demanded a correction. BUT THE correction, which ap- peared in yesterday's paper, incorrec- tly listed Greene as a Republican and Pursell as a Democrat. Greene also demanded equal time, as required by law, from the 'television station. And what originally appeared as a blow to his campaign has suddenly become an opportunity for extra publicity. Greene will pre-empt the last ten minutes of tonight's episode of The Muppets and appear before voters at about 7:50. BVT THAT just touches on the dif- ficulties the Greene campaign has had. In August, the State Board of Can- vassers ruled he was ineligible for the November slate. Although Greene eventually did get his name on the ballot; he couldn't really begin cam- paigning until mid-September. The canvasser's refusal to list Greene on the ballot stemmed from a state law which says a candidate must collect at least 15 per cent of the number of votes received by the party's nominee in the last statewide election. The Michigan Court of Appeals overruled the board, placing Greene on the ballot. Channel 4 ofricials explained that the omission of Greene resulted when the initial ballot from the Second District listed Pursell running unopposed. The canvassers certified Greene after the program's coordinators had already begun to plan their coverage. Bill Kearns, Pursell's press secretary, suggested the councilman's original problem has become a great advantage to his campaign. "This publicity has done more 'to enhance his campaign than anything he has done himself," Kearns said. Friday " Quick quiz: what are Pro- posals C and G on this year's ballots about?
