"We expect Israel to withdraw and we have made our views in this respect known to the Israeli government," said the U.S. statement, issued at President Carter's direction by the State Department. THE STATEMENT SAID "The only real solution" to Israel's security problem and Mideast violence generally is a }comprehen- sive settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict. "We don't intend to be distracted from ef- forts to resolve these basic problems," said. the statement read by spokesman Hodding Carter. He said the United States was exploring, in "urgent discussions" at the United Nations and elsewhere, arrangements for southern Lebanon's future and that it would support Security Council consideration of placing a peacekeeping force in the area. IT WAS NOT clear I whether the U.S. position 'diverges from the Israeli gover- nment's view that its troops should remain in. southern Lebanon until arrangements are completed for preventing Palestinian' terrorists from staging raids from the area. Spokesman Carter, although declining ex- tensive elaboration, said there has to be "a linkage" between the U.S.-demanded Israeli withdrawal and "measures which would restore stability" in southern Lebanon. Earlier yesterday, Israeli jets struck at Palestinian artillery positions and ground forces fought gunnery duels,and hit-and-run battles with guerrillas as Israeli troops set- tled into a six-mile-wide strip of southern Lebanon for what could be a long stay. GOVERNMENT SOURCES said Prime Minister Menachem Begin was hoping to negotiate with Lebanon and the Syrian peacekeeping forces for an agreement that would prevent the guerrillas from returning to southern Lebanon. The Syrians make up the bulk of the 30,000-man Arab League force which has been in the country since the Lebanese civil war.

The small group of about thirty protesters who began marching in front of the Graduate Library at noon grew steadily until about 150 people circled the Diag chanting "U of M, out now." THE PROTEST was sponsored by the Washtenaw County Coalition Against Apartheid (WCCAA), a collection of local groups including the African Student Association (ASA), the South See ISSUE, Page 9 ejects S. African divestiture Regents vote to use new investment policy BY BRIAN BLANCHARD Before a vocal, disapproving crowd of about 200 in the Union Ballroom yesterday afternoon the Regents rejec- ted the possibility of complete divestiture of University stocks and bonds from U.S. corporations doing business in South Africa. The eight Regents unanimously ap- proved a three-page resolution proposed for the first time during the meeting by Regent Thomas (D-Detroit) which calls for the University to assume responsibility for voting at shareholder meetings and letters to corporations asking them to affirm the anti-discriminatory Sullivan principles.- UNLIKE ITS model-a report from the Senate Assembly Advisory Com- mittee on Financial Affairs-Roach's resolution does not require the Univer- sity to pull its money out of cor- porations which fail to sign the Sullivan guidelines and drops the obligation to divest investments from banks making or increasing loans to the South African government. If corporations take "reasonable Daily Photo by ANDY FREEBERG Economics Prof. Thomas Weisskopf was one of 18 members of the University community who yesterday in the Union Ballroom urged the Regents to divest financial ties with South Africa. steps" in a "reasonable period of time" towards progressive policies, the University does not have to sell shares in those corporations, according to the resolution. The Advisory Committee report had recommended adoption of the six point equal opportunity guidelines, written by Rev. Leon Sullivan, a member of the Board of Directors of the General Motors Cor- poration. The six Sullivan principles are: non- segregation in public places; equal op- portunity; equal pay for comparable work;' development of training programs; increasing the number of non-whites in management; and im- proving the quality of lives outside the working environment. The resolution falls short of adoption of the guidelines because, several Regents said, some corporations may satisfy the conditions of the principles without actually signing the statement. IF BANKS MAKE loans "conditioned upon (South African) governmental ac- tion which shall tend to end the system of apartheid," the University need not divest its holdings from those in- stitutions. Roach said he left in the possibility of such investments because, "You can make a loan if you get something for it," that is, an ex- change of investments for anti- apartheid policy.

CLOSE VOTE SAVES CARTER: Senate passe WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate Shortly after the vote, Carter read a proved the first of two Panama Canal brief statement to reporters, saying aties yesterday with one vote to "approval of the treaty marks a new are, delivering to President Carter a and promising step" in relations with ctory he had said was vital to his all of Latin America. ap tre spK vi credibility as an international leader. The 68-to-32 vote came on a treaty that provides for permanent neutrality of the 64-year-old waterway and for joint U.S.-Panamanian defense after the year 2000. STILL TO BE considered is the second treaty which provides for the gradual transfer of the canal to Panama over the next 22 years. In ad- dition, both houses of Congress must approve a huge package of legislation to implement the turnover. , The Carter administration had repeatedly stressed that an adverse decision on the pact could undermine U.S. efforts to improve its image in' Latin America. APPROVAL CAME only after the Senate passed an amendment that would permit U.S. Military forces to in- tervene to keep the canal open after control is transferred. The amendment by Sen. Dennis DeConcini (D-Ariz.), would allow in- s frst tervention even if canal operations were threatened by labor strikes or other internal Panamanian problems. However, Carter said in his statement that the treaty will insure neutrality and accessibility of the canal but will not include a "right of interven- tion" in the internal affairs of Panama. SOURCES FAMILIAR with Panamanian thinking on the issue in- dicated the government of Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos might reject the DeConcini amendment. The State- Department had asked DeConcini to soften the wording of his amendment because it could cause problems with Panama. But he conten- ded the language had to be specific so canal treaty there could be no misunderstandings about U.S. rights to intervene. Before voting approval of ratification, the Senate turned down, 67 to 33, a motion by Sen. Robert Griffin (R-Mich.), to send the pact back to Car- ter for renegotiation. EARLIER, A White House spokesman, Rex Granum, acknowledged that Carter had spent 15 to 20 minutes talking by telephone to Torrijos Wednesday. Granum said the call was prompted by reports of Panamanian "concerns and questions" about treaty amendments. Panama's ambassador to the United Nations, Jorge Illeuca, said Torrijos himself would have to evaluate the ef- See SENATE, Page 11 For happenings, weather and local briefs, see TODAY, page 3.] Fafth and egorra!
