MENEGAUX SAID the fighting began while Salvan was holding a "crucial meeting" with representatives of various Palestinian and Lebanese guerrilla groups in the Tyre region. Be said rocket-propelled grenades, mortar rounds and machine guns were fired at a U.N. jeep and a truck carrying food. When Salvan received word of the fighting, he quickly ended the meeting and sent one jeep and an armored per- sonnel carrier to the scene of the clash, three miles from the Ghassan,Borro barracks, headquarters of the French troops. The patrol ran into an ambush, and Salvan dispatched another unit of jeeps and armored vehicles, said Menegaux. Mohammed Tamraz, a Palestine Liberation Organization envoy who at- tended the meeting, offered to drive Salvan to the scene of the fighting to help end it. "COL. SALVAN and Tamraz stood in the Palestinian's Toyota car waving with their hands to the gunmen to cease firing," Menegeaux said. "But the am- bushers sprayed them with bullets. The colonel was hit in his legs and Tamraz' driver, Qassem Manna, was killed." A French soldier in a nearby jeep was killed in the gunfire and another was wounded. In Beirut, mainstream and radical Palestinian guerrillas said their forces were not involved in the fighting. Lef- tist Lebanese militiamen in Tyre also denied involvement. on hearings (Continued from Page 3) JUDGE SPERKA ruled last August that the University was guilty of an un- fair labor practice, and the ad- ministration appealed his decision. MERC refused to rule on the appeal un- til Sperka decided the student- employee question, and referred the problem back to the judge. When next week's hearings are finally over, MERC will consider the University's appeal in light of Sperka's findings. GEO feels that the administration is dragging out this complicated legal process in order to destroy the organization through attrition. However, Milbrath said that the University's tactics may backfire, sin- ce bringing the GSAs together for the hearings could renew the strength of GEO. Milbrath said that GEO has already lined up teaching assistants from 10 departments to testify, primarily from theliterary college. DISCO Lessohos at DEINCE SPICE 3141 S.
