TROOP MOVES REPORTED:
Peres
TEL AVIV, Israel (A) - De-
fense Minister Shimon Peres,
reacting to reports of new ad-
vances by Syrian troops into
southern Lebanon, warned yes-
terday that Israel "cannot tol-
erate a threat approaching its
border."
But he added that "the whole
matter is still being examined"
and said the government would
draw no conclusions "before it
has all the facts before it."
The military command said
a unit of the Syrian peacekeep-
ing force in Lebanon moved
Monday into the southern town
of Nabatiyeh, a mostly Moslem
settlement just eight miles
from the tip of Israel's north-
eastern panhandle.
T H E SEMI - OFFICIAL
Israeli state radio, quoting Is-
raeli sources, said the Syrian
force was an infantry battalion
equipped with armored vehic-

southern Lebanon beyond which
Israel has said it will not tol-
erate Syrian troops.
The line is generally taken
to mean Lebanon's Litani Riv-
er. But in deciding whether the
"red line" has been violated, the
Israeli government is expected
to consider such factors as the
size and firepower of any unit
entering the area.
THE ISRAELIS have also
warned against a new buildup
of Palestinian forces in the re-
gion, which served as a spring-
boardkforbcross-border guerrilla
attacks before the Lebanese
war. Because Syria supports the
Palestinian cause, Israel fears
a resurgence of guerrilla activ-
ity if the Syrians take control
of southern Lebanon.
Speaking to reporters during
a visit to the Dead Sea, Peres
said Israel would "continue to
insist upon its red line."
Peres reported on the situa-
tion to parliament's foreign af-
fairs and security 'committee,
which usually meets for top-
secret deliberations on military
and diplomatic crises.
A SYRIAN-DOMINATED Arab
League peacekeeping force has
been enforcing a three-month-
old cease-fire in the Lebanese
civil war. It waced problems
in southern Lebanon, however,
because right-wing Christian
and left-wing Moslem forces
have continued sporadic fight-
ing.
Beirut radio said Monday that
Syrian troops were deploying
near Palestinian refugee camps
around Nabatiyeh.
In Washington, President Car-
ter announced he would send
Secretary of State Cyrus Vance
on a six-nation Mideast tour
Feb. 14-21. He said the trip
would underline the importance
"of making significant progress
this year" toward peace in the
area.

HOW DO THEY FLOAT?
Cement canoe
By ELAINE ELSON
Building and racing concrete canoes seems
an unlikely hobby, but students from the Quar-
terdeck Society - an honorary society of the
Naval Architecture School - and the American 1
Society of Civil Engineers' student chapter,
(ASCE), are hunting for a trailer to transport
their concrete crafts to early spring races.
"We do it for fun and to gain practical ex-
perience in designing," says Stuart Cohen,
chairman of Quarterdeck's Concrete C a n o e
Committee. "We design the canoes to float and
paddle easily."
COHEN, a Naval Architecture major and
graduating senior, explains why the concrete
canoes don't sink.
"It's Archimedes' Principle," he said. "If
the object displaces more water than it weighs,
then it will float. Water is 62.4 lbs. per cubic
foot. So if something is one foot on a side and
weight 60 lbs., it doesn't matter what it is
made out of - feathers, steel, pressed saw-
dust. If it holds together, it will float."
The American Concrete Institute (ACI), has
sanctioned these annual races for six years and
will do so again for this year's late April to
early May race. -
