F YOJ SEE NRk6 OAVEN CALL T-DAILY Suspected arson in the Greek belt A fire in the rubbish container outside the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority at 1332 Hill Street Saturday night was the -fifth fire in three months to strike the Greek house. The fires usually occur during social events, according to a house director. The AGD fire was one of four fires in the Greek belt early Saturday morning, said an Ann Arbor Fire Department spokesman. One blaze was set near "the rock" at Hill Street and Washtenaw Ave. The fire department spokesman said of- ficials believe the arsonist is a student, because witnesses saw someone wearing a "Michigan jacket?' near the scenes of previous fires. Men in the house The Martha Cook residence hall Board of Governors has repealed its decision of a few weeks ago to restrict the hours men would be allowed in the building. Currently men are allowed upstairs during specified hours on Thursday through Saturday evenings, and on a 24- hour basis on the first and basement floors. But earlier this month, the board. members agreed to extend male visitation hours to include Monday through Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. To the dismay and confusion of the 150 Martha Cook residents, the board also decided that males would be evicted from all floors by a security guard after visitation hours. Now the board has reconsidered, and decided to im- plement the new hours on a trial basis in September. President of the residents' House Board Debra Magolan said the board had not been aware that Martha Cook residents were discontented over the new rules. "They (board members) had not made the decision with the in- tent of taking something away. They were just interested insecurity," she explained.

Hail, econ When those economics exams come back with nasty grades after desperate, all-night cramming sessions, keep in mind the thoughts of 1977 University graduate Martha Niemann. Niemann, who currently is Administrative Assistant for the Insurance Economics Society of America (IESA), extolled in a recent IESA newsletter the virtues of economics courses and condemned the University for not requiring such classes for undergraduates. "I considered it a dry, lifeless sub- ject. . . Heck, the big 'U' itself didn't label it a must. . . So beware, those of you, who have attempted -to ,hide the economic facts of life.. . We shall learn those facts, even as our universities have lear- ned them . . . but have fallen short in teaching them. Hail Plato... 'Everything is economic'." But what kind of grade did Plato get on his Econ 201 final?. Take ten With the Mideast peace accords signed yesterday, it may be hard to imagine that only ten years ago Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser accused the Nixon Administration of giving unwavering sup- port to Israel, indicating that the Middle East was nearing the ex- plosion point. "There is no indication of any change in America's at- titude towards Israel," Nasser said on March 27, 1969. "The United States continues to give its complete support and backing to the Israeli viewpoint." *0 Daily photo by DAN OBERDORFER Minority conference More than 150 members of the four major ethnic groups (Asian- American, blacks, Hispanics, and Native-Americans) gathered yester- day at Rackham for the University's first conference on "Families, Women, and Mental Health: The Minority Experience." The conference, sponsored by the Center for the Continuing Education of Women and other organizations, included guest lecturers speaking on such topics as "Cultural Forms and Changing Norms among Latino Women and Men," and panel discussions on such topics as "Mental Health Intervention with the Minority Person." Although designed for minorities, many whites also attended the conference, which coordinator Beverly Howze called, "A first step toward working together."

He said God-fearing men such as himself should expect these problems, and he vowed to fight his way out with a handful of help. Meanwhile, British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) report yesterday suggested that Amin might already have fled his embattled country. THE PRODUCER of a BBC radio news program,"The World at One," said one of its reporters was speaking on the telephone with an official of Radio Uganda in Kampala this mor- ning when an unidentified woman in- terrupted to say the president had left Uganda three days ago. Apparently speaking from an exten- sion, she said she had intercepted such a message from the Ugandan forces' command post at Entebbe. The woman, who refused to give her name, had a good command of English and could have been a reporter or producer, the BBC producer said. UGANDAN EXILES claimed the tanks belonged to mutinous Ugandan soldiers, but there was no other in- dication that any such siege was taking place. Residents of Entebbe, 20 miles north of the capital of Kampala, repor- ted no tanks, no troops and no fighting. They said the road to Kampala was open. The airport control tower said all was quiet and Tanzanian military officials said their invasion forces were still 20 miles from Entebbe. But Amin said he could see 12 tanks from his window. "I'm looking forward to having breakfast with the enemy," said Amin through an aide who telephoned repor- ters in Nairobi. Uganda government radio, monitored in Nairobi, carried a similar report after Amin personally telephoned the newsroom. THE RADIO quoted Amin as saying, "A brave and strong man who believes in God and discipline will always find this kind of problem. I will show how only 20 men can fight against 20,000 in- vading troops." The size of the invading force of Tan- zanian soldiers and Ugandan exiles has been put by independent observers at about 7,000. Amin has put it as high as 40,000. In Nairobi, observers said the flam- boyant Amin falsely reported a major Tanzanian advance once before, then claimed his troops had driven it back.

Amin ordered the airport closed to foreign flights Sunday and said planes violating Ugandan air space would be shot down. An employee reached by telephone at the control tower said all was quiet yesterday. "Nothing is wrong here. No shooting. No tanks. We are OK," he said. Tanzanian sources with direct access to military planners in Dar es Salaam said Tanzanian units were still at Mpigi, a village about two miles from both Entebbe and Kampala. THIS IS said to be the deepest advan- ce of the Tanzanians in the five-month- old war. Fighting began in October when Ugandan soldiers occupied 720 square miles of northwestern Tanzania. Ugandan exiles said the tanks allegedly surrounding Amin belonged to mutinous Ugandan soldiers who were trying to overthrow Amin in the name of Brig. Emilio Mondo, No. 2 in the Ugandan Defense Ministry, and make peace with the Tanzanians. However, a spokesman for Amin described Mondo as completely loyal.
