Jordan's military leadership
claimed yesterday that Syrian:
troops had been driven from
the country. The U.S. govern-
ment said it had received in-
formation confirming that
Syrian regulars were leaving
Jordan.
The civil war went on, however ,
as the latest cease-fire agreement
proclaimed by King Hussein col-
lapsed when a faction of the guer-
rilla movement rejected it and.
vowed to fight on,
The Arab leadership struggled ;
fitfully last night to bridge a neww
split in the ranks of the Palestine
ian liberation movement on end-
ing the civil war in Jordan. One $
group of Palestinians headed by {
Abuy Aya, No. 2 man in the
guerrilla organization, endorsed
the cease-fire as proclaimed ear-
lier in Amman by King Hussein.
The other group, led by Yasir
Arafat, chieftain of Al Fatah and
head of the Palestine Liberation
Organization - PIO - denounc-
ed the cease-fire as "a trick," and
urged the guerrillas to fight on. w*.
In a speech heard over Amman
radio, Husseinsaid /the Arab mis-
sion from Cairo endorsed a four-
point peace plan he worked out
with the captured guerrilla leaders
earlier in the day. Under the plan,
fighting would cease and the Pal-
estinian guerrillas would quit the
cities and take up positions on
the border with Israel.x}

The three-week tent-in on the Diag ended last night
when University personnel, accompanied by city police, re-
moved all tents from the area.
Shortly before 6 p.m., University security chief Roland
Gainsley announced to the campers that "those of you who
do not move within five minutes are subject to the trespass
law and will be arrested."
There was no resistance and no arrests were made as a
crowd of nearly 100 people watched plant department workers
take tents and other items into a waiting truck. Gainsley
assured the campers that the tents could be picked up Friday
after they were cleaned and fumigated today.

Jorfdanian capital
AMMAN ( --The desert Bedouin soldiers of King Hussein
who battled their way into this capital city to flush out guer-
rillas have devastated the town as if they were moving into
enemy territory.
As of Tuesday, hardly a house is left undamaged. The
sprawling refugee camps on the outskirts, where thousands of
Palestinians have lived up to a dozen to a room, seem to have
been pulverized.
The 600,000 inhabitants of the city cowered in basements
or wherever. they felt safest. The slightest hint of movement
invited death.
Exceptions to this rule were the foreign newsmen staying
at the Jordan Intercontinental Hotel. Apparently because of
- their presence, the hotel was
spared direct attack although

Washington officials were in-
clined to see a ,glimmer of hope
in contrast to their gloomy con-
ception earlier this week, saying
prospects for an Arab solution to
the crisis appeared greater than
before.
In Moscow, Soviet President Ni-
kolai V. Podgorny warned t h e
United States to keep out of the
Jordanian crisis, but implicitly is-
sued a similar caution to Syria
and Iraq Who have been support-
ing the guerrilla cause.
Podgorny said the Soviet Union
looks on any outside interference
in Jordan as "inadmissible" and
indicated that the U.S. 6th Fleet
was posing such a threat.
"It is urgently necessary to put,
an end as soon as possible .to the
bloody clashes in Jordan," Pod-
gorny told a luncheon honoring
Indian President Varahgiri Ven-
kata Giri.
The official Soviet news agency
Tass indicated later that the
Kremlin had appealed directly to
Jordan, Syria and Iraq to seek
an end to the "fratricidal fight-
ing."
Beleaguered King Hussein took
time out from the civil war to con-
fide to a fellow radio ham in Lon-
don that there had been "lots
of damage and loss of life."
"We hope this will be the turn-

arch told Laurie Margolis, with

there was "absolutely no resist-

Earlier, when faculty and ad-
ministrators were expecting an
injunction to be served, hurried
attempts were made to convince
the campers to leave. Prof. Ray-
mond Kahn and Prof. D a r i n
Hinerman, both members of Sen-
ate Assembly, visited the camp-
site and pointed out what they
considered to be the 'health haz-
ard." Vice-President for Student
Services Robert Knauss also visit-,
ed the site. When asked by the
campers whether his previous of-
fet of 'a North Campus campsite
was still open he replied, "I don't
know."
Knauss had offered earlier that
the tents could be moved to North
Campus, but both this suggestion
and the campers' proposal t h a t
Waterman Gym facilities be open-
ed to meet required health stand-
ards were rejected by President
Robben Fleming and other Uni-
versity officials. Cost and the pre-
dominance of non-students at
Tent City were cited as reasons
for these decisions.
Health reasons were first cited
by county officials as grounds
for disbanding Tent City.
Contrary to earlier Administra-
tion plans, an injunction was not
used against "Tent City." A 1-
though University lawyers t;at-
tempted to get an injunction early
yesterday afternoon, Circuit Court
Judge William Ager refused the
motion, saying there was "other
legal recourse short of an injunc-
tion.
The trespass law requires no
court action. If they refused to
move as Gainsley directed, police
could have made arrests.
Gainsley reiterated the Admin-
istration's.contention that the site
was a health hazard.
"I have ar. affadavit from Dr.
Paul Gikas, member of' the c i t y
and county boards of health.'In
it, he concludes this is a health
hazard and irreparable harm will
be caused by the tents' continued
presence," Gainsley' said.
The conditions the University
administration placed on T e n t
City when it first allowed' the
tents to stay were that no "health
hazard" be created and that the
population of the campsite remain
predominately -student.

Denton
trial, toda
By JUANITA ANDERSON
Peter Denton. is scheduled to
appear before the Rackham Board
of Inquiry today to face ;charges
made against him during last
spring's Black Action 'Movement
(BAM) strike.
Prof. Bernard Galler charges
that on March 27, Denton and
some 20 other students entered
his Math 473 class, shouted, and
thus forced him to dismiss class
ten minutes early.
Denton has said he would not
recognize the authority of a fac-
ulty board in his case, and would
only attend a trial by Central
Studet Judiciary (CSJ). CSJ
accepted the case in April and
stated that further action by other
judicial bodies was unnecessary.
But Graduate School Executive
Board stated it "has authority in
matters relating to student con-
duct and will continue to exercise
that authority."
The Denton case points up a
long-standing dispute over who
should(have jurisdiction over stu-
dent conduct unrelated to aca-
demic cpmpetence. The current
regental bylaws recognize the
authority of faculty bddies in cases
as these, but Student Government
Council -(SGC) claims that all-
student judiciaries, such as CSJ,
should have exclusive jurisdiction
in such, cases.
Galler said he brought the case
to the disciplinary board' rather
than CSJ because "I have more
confidence in the board and I've
dealt with them before. I know
they are fair."
Denton said he doesn't feel the
case can be handled fairly by the
board. "The issue is of trial by
peers. I don't think people should
be able to rip up classes any time
they want," he says. "Peers are
the only ones qualified to judge
this."
"The board has added two in-
experienced token students who
will be intimated and persuaded
by the majority of the faculty,"
he added.
