used charts and graphs to il-
lustrate the Central American
country's unequal land distribu-

The statistics he used were
compiled by a University zoo-.

Durham. Durham conducted re-
search work in land use in El
Salvador during four years as
part of his thesis work.

Seventy-one per cent of all El
Salvadorians live on small

11 per cent of the land. The
large farms grow the coffee and

tack, the four terrorists entered
the hotel, directly across the:
street from the U.S. embassy,
at about 9:50 a.m. and a sus-
picious security guard asked
them for their identity cards.
They then drew Kalachnikov
submachine guns from suitcasesI
they were carrying and began
spraying bullets around the bu-
sy hotel lobby.
GUESTS SCREAMED with
fright. Some threw themselves
on the floor. Others smashedt
windows with chairs and leaped
into a garden one floor below.
One of the terrorists asked a
guest to telephone the Jordan-
ian government, but before hel
could- get through scores of Jor-
danian army commandos had
surrounded the hotel.
The commandos used bull-
horns to demand that the guer-
rillas surrender. The Palestin-
ians began firing instead.
WITHIN MINUTES, four ar-
my helicopters dropped com-+
mandos on the roof of the sev-
en-story building. One gunman+
rished to the roof and opened
fire, killing a Jordanian officer.
The Palestinian was shot dead.

The guerrillas retreated to the:
fourth floor, reportedly with
some hostages.
THE HOTEL'S 250 rooms were:
full of foreign businessmen and
tourists, but most managed to
flee to safety. Many locked
themselves in their rooms.
Explosions were heard from
the hotel and smoke clouds bil-
lowed up as the battle raged.
Some time during that period,
the Palestinians attempted to
have a note delivered to the
army officer in command of
the siege by a hotel guest, the
spokesperson said. The note at-
tacked the "Riyadh and Cairo

"The king ordered that the
operation be conducted with the
minimum possible of losses in
lives, especially among the ho-
tel guests," the spokesperson
said.
Just before 2 p.m. yesterday,
the troops inside stormed up
from below while other sold-
iers landed on the roof of the
seven-floor hotel by helicopter.
There was only a brief battle
before the gunmen were crush-
ed.

WHEN A UNIVERSITY such
as,Michigan has reason to es-
calate student charges, other
large institutions throughout
the country are usually not far
behind, Phillips says.
The NAStOLGC report readily'
documents the observation that
the University 'was not alone
in raising its fees in 1976.
Of 135 state and land-grant
universities surveyed for the
report, only 15 "held theline"
on undergraduate fees. Sixty-
nine of the universities'- more
than half - were forced to in-
crease tuition, required fees
and room and board All at once.
THE MEMBER schools of
NASULGC, which are tradition-
ally committed to keeping stu-
dent charges as low as possible,
cite inflation as the primary
reason for rate increases, ac-
cording to the report.
Despite the University's rate
hikes during the past year,
Michigan has actually fallen a
few notches in the "top ten"
listings, when compared to a
1975 survey.
When tuition and required stu-
dent fees are considered alone,
the University has dropped
from seventh most expensive
school in 1975 to the eighth,
as far as in-state undergradu- I
ates are concerned.
IN A 1973 SURVEY, the Uni-l
versity ranked as the most ex-1
pensive school in terms of out-
of-state tuition ana fees. Last
year, the University owned the
No. 2 position, and in the 1976
survey it dropped to the No. 3
spot among public institutions.
in the U.S.
The slight, change in position
simply means that some other
schools were increasing fees in
greater proportions than the
University, according to Phil-
lips.
University officials feel no joy'
in seeing Michigan among the
ten most expensive state and
land-grant universities in the!
country.
"I DON'T THINK anyone is
very proud of it," said Dr. Ern-
est Zimmerman of the Office of
Academic Affairs. Zimmerman
helped compile student charges
for the NASULGC survey this
year.
The Association has been com-,
piling student charges at state
and land-grant universities for
eleven years.
"The schools find them very.
valuable in seeing where they
rank in comparison with other
institutions like theirs," Phil-
lips said.!
The annual figures are also'
helpful, she said, in university
budget deliberations.

WASHINGTON (P)-Chinas set
off the largest nuclear explo-
sion in its history yesterday,
prompting U. S. officials to im-
mediately activate a nation-
wide network of stations to
! monitor radioactive fallout
from the blast.
The explosion occurred at 1
a.m. EST yesterday at the Lop
Nor nuclear test site in western
China, said a spokesman for the
Energy Research and Develop-
ment Administration (ERDA).
THE CHINESE test was an
above-ground, blast, a type
which produces the familiar'
mushroom cloud and sends ra-
dioactive particles into the at-
mosphere where winds propel
them ar.ound the world.
A Chinese nuclear explosion
in September resulted in a
sprinkling of low - level radia-
tion in the United States. The
greatest fallout in the U. S.
was in the East where signifi-
cant traces of radiation turned
up in cows' milk, particularly
in Pennsylvania. But the ra-
dioactivity never reached levels
considered hazardous to hu-
mans, officials said.
The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency (EPA) activated
its network of monitoring sta-
tions after the blast was detect-
ed by ERDA's sensitive measur-
ing devices. It has 61 measur-
ing stations, which are in every
state except West Virginia and
New Hampshire.
OFFICIALS SAIDthe;
aniount of radioactive fallout
expected to occur may not be
greater than in September be-
cause the amount of fallout de-
pends partly on weather condi-
tions at the time the nuclear
cloud passes' over the United
States.
ERDA said the latest explo-
sion had a force of 4 mega-
tons, or 4 million tons of TNT,
and was the fourth Chinese nu-
clear blast reported this year.
EPA said the September blast
measursed 200 kilotons or 20
times smaller than yesterday's
explosion.
In a broadcast monitored in -
Tokyo, Hsinhua, the official
Chinese news agency, said the
test was a "heavy blow to the,
two superpowers, the Soviet
Union and the United States,
which are-pursuing hegemon-

HSINHUA DID not say the
size of the bomb, nor did 'it
mention whether the test was
carried out in the atmosphere
or on the ground.
The People's Daily, organ of
the Communist party of China,
said in a comnrentary that "the
success of this test, which has
raised the level of China's nu-
clear weapons to a new height,
is a reflection of the important
achievements in China's nu-
clear weapons to a new height,
is n reflection of the important
achievements in China's science
and technology."
As usual after such explo-
sions, Hsinhua said the test
was for defensive purposes only
and repeated that China would
never be the first to use atomic
weapons.
The largest American nuclear
test publicly announced was a
15-megaton explosion, ERDA
said.
The atomic bombs dropped on
Japan during World War II
were rated at 20 kilotons. A
kiloton is equal in explosive
force to 1,000 tons of TNT.
