The basement of the Modern
anguages Building was deluged
esterday with women investigating
job possibilities at the Second Annual
Women's !Career Fair, only one of a
number of activities geared toward
women's interests this weekend.
East Quad, the site of an Educational
Conference on Women, reverberated
with the sounds of women learning self-
defense, Oiscussing issues relating to
wotmen and interacting in the non-
academic feminist education.
-THE CAREER FAIR covered topics
ranging from resume writing to
vocational testing. A number of
sessions dealing with different
professions-engineering, politics, law,
health,-featured women who have
'mrade it" in those fields.
4nitial panels on cgreer planning at
different stages in life were followed by
more specific information sessions.

A MAJORITY OF the 650 women atten-

women and not students, a fact which
surprised many organizers and par-
ticipants.
"There is a big need for this infor-
mation," said Barbara Anton, one of
the organizers. "There is a need by both
community women and students."
Anton said the planning for the fair

tions interim force for southern

" "Requests the secretary-general to
report to the council within 24 hours on
the implementation of this resolution."
The resolution states that the U.N.
peacekeeping force would be drawn
from member countries and help
Lebanon "in ensuring the returniof its
effective authority to the area."
The State Department on Thursday
had suggested such an arrangement to
end the fighting that began Wednesday
when Israeli troops crossed the
Lebanese frontier and seized a six-mile-
deep "security belt" to keep
Palestinian guerrillas away from the
border.
THERE WERE indications Syria and
Lebanon might agree to this proposal.
In Damascus, President Hafez Assad
said Syria's "skies and territory are
open to anyone who wishes to move into
south Lebanon to help the
Palestinians." But there was no in-
dication Syrian troops would join the
battle.
Military correspondents for the
Israeli state-controlled television said
the new lines put Israeli troops within
three miles of the closest Syrian forces
near the Litani River. f
THE SYRIANS are part of an Arab
peace-keeping forces that monitor the
end of the Lebanese civil war.
Military headquarters in Tel Aviv

said the air strikes by Israeli fighter-
bombers were concentrated on the
Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh, a major
guerrilla base seven miles from the
closest Israeli village of Metulla.
The command said its troops cap-
tured the village of Tibni, a former
Palestinian stronghold eight miles in-
side Lebanon.
LT. GEN. Mordechai Gur, the army
chief of staff, said on national televisiona
the people of Tibnin put out white flags
when Israeli officers asked them "to
expel the terrorists to prevent suffering
on both sides.
The Palestine Liberation
Organization (PLO) said in Beirut it
had downed an Israeli Phantom jet and
destroyed eight enemy vehicles in a day
of heavy fighting.
The PLO News agency Wafa said its
forces "were able to halt the enemy's
advance after a four-hour battle" in the
Maaliyeh region, four miles south of
Tyre, using rockets, machine guns and
mortars.
The new Israeli push came as Begin

by the coal strike, could be in for dif-
ficult problems once it gets up a head of
steam.
The Carter program calls for volun-
tary price and wage restraints by com-
panies and unions in hopes of lowering
the inflation rate by about a half per-
centage point each of the next three
years.
TALKS BETWEEN INDUSTRY
1 aders and the President's Council on
,age and Price Stability are expected
to get under way later this month with
similar meetings with union leaders to
follow.
The administration's efforts at
"moral persuasion," as Carter referred
to it in his tax message in January, may
face a major credibility problem in
light of the White House role in the coal
strike.
The latest proposed contract, to be
voted on by United Mine Workers on
Friday, offers a 39 percent increase in

straints Carter propossed when he
outlined his program.
WHILE SUGGESTING there might
be exceptions, the president said volun-
tary guidelines should aim at keeping
'increases smaller than those in 1976-77,
when the average gain for all contracts
was about 8 percent.
Although administration officials
reportedly are calling the coal situation
a special case, some observers believe
it may well weaken management at-
tempts to hold the line by strengthening
unions attempts to continue tough
bargaining for wage increases that go
well beyondrarter's guidelines.
Economists also are growing concer-
ned with the econo py's slow start this
year. Continued iroblems with the
dollar on world money markets already
are forcing the inflation rate up from its
underlying rate of 6 to 6.5 percent last
year.
G. WILLIAM MILLER, the new

Noting that the inflation has wor-
sened in the past few months, Miller
told the Senate Budget Committee, "We
are getting down to very few choices
and we need to do something soon."
He recommended a two-fold ap-
proach, saying the administration
should implement fees or quotas to
limit the amount of oil imports and
'come up with a strong anti-inflation
program."
MILLER WARNED THAT if the
projected $60 billion deficit for fiscal
year 1979 "gets out of hand," interest
rates could be forced higher and lead to
a recession in the next year or two.
Miller said U.S. imports of oil were
largely responsible for the last year's
record $26.7 billion trade deficit and a
variety of other economic woes. Con-
cern over the U.S. trade deficit has
been a major factor in the dollar's year-
long decline on world money markets.

Teach-in to revive war debate

and consider VietnaE

By MARTHA RETALLICK
On March 24, 1965, a group of Univer-
sity professors staged the first tech-in
on the American involvement in the
Vietnam War. The all-night event drew
over 3,000 participants and inspired
scores of teach-ins on other campuses

across the country. Next week, another
group of professors and an ad hoc
committee of Ann Arbor residents will
stage another teach-in about Vietnam.
The teach-in, entitled "What War?
What Now?" will begin Monday, March
20 and run through Friday, March 24,
the 13th anniversary of the first teach-
in back in 1965. The five-day program
will feature afternoon workshops and
evening* lectures by such speakers as
Chicago Seven conspiracy trial defen-
dant David Dellinger, Residential
College Prof. Marilyn Young, and
Eqbal Ahmad of the Institute for Public
Policy Studies.
ENGLISH PROF. William !Buzz"
Alexander, one of the professors who
organized the teach-in, said he and

n s future.
teach-in participants hope to "find ot
what it means to have forgotten about
that War."
Alexander, who was involved in the
anti-war movement when he taught at
Harvard in the sixties, notices- ;a
parallel between Germany after the
Nazi regime collapsed and the U.S.'af-
ter the Vietnam War. In both Germany
and the United States, the people en-
deavored to forget about World War II
and the Vietnam War right after they
ended, he said.
"I've seen Hollywood films on the
War.that make it easier to handle,"
Alexander said.

Luis Montilla: Boxing
toward the Olympics

By RON DE KETT

In the early morning hours, while
most of us are stubbing our toes trying
to make it out of bed, a solitary figure
nimbly avoids potholes and ice patches
as he completes his roadwork, deter-
mined to make the Olympics.
Luis Montilla, 17, like many boxers,
hopes to compete in the 1980 Olympics
and ultimately win the coveted light-
heavyweight medal.

With heavily accented words spewed
in bunches followed by a pause - much
like the way a boxer throws a flurry of
punches before he steps back to inspect
his handiwork - Montilla tells about
the root of his aspirations.
AFTER LEARNING English, he
began to work out at the Intramural
