Seventy-one per cent of all El Salvadorians live on small farms, growing staple grains on 11 per cent of the land.

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.

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 decisions" of Arab heads of state which legitimized Syrian intervention in Lebanon.

"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. Join The Daily LADIES' or CHILDREN'S HAI RCUTTING A SPECIALTY. DASCOLA STYLISTS ARBORLAND-971-9975 MAPLE VILLAGE-761}-2733 E.

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.

Stadium Blvd. at Liberty I 7:00 and 9:05 P.M. I 1 1 i 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- USHER POSITIONS ism (world domination) tempting to practice monoply and nuclear mail." and at- nuclear black- 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. thru - Cd SSlf(Qd I ART I: "Love Under 16" AND "Liquid Lips" ART II: "Fireworks Woman" AND "Newcomers" Art Theaters 31 N.
