Page 2-Thursday, July 6, 1978-The Michigan Daily ISRAEL ALREADY OBJECTS: Egypt unveils new peace plan CAIRO, Egypt (AP)-Egypt unveiled a new six-point Mideast peace plan yesterday calling for Israeli with- drawal from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River, in- cluding"East Jerusalem. But the main elements of the plan already have been rejected by Israel and Egyptian diplomats say they have little hope for a breakthrough. Israel radio called the plan "rigid and reflecting no change" in President An- war Sadat's stand." ISRAELI GOVERNMENT officials withheld immediate comment on the proposal, which also stipulates Israel must abandon Jewish settlements built in the occupied territory. A decision on whether to send Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan to London for a meeting with Egyptian and American officials later this month to discuss the plan probably will not be made until Sun- day's Israeli cabinet meeting. Israel has said it will not withdraw from the occupied territories and will not give up any of the settlements there. Even the opposition Labor Party in Israel has said it would be willing to withdraw only from certain areas of the West Bank. The Egyptian plan, prepared at the urging of the United States, calls for a five-year transitional period during which the occupied territories will be adminsitered by "freely elected" representatives of the Palestinian people under the supervision of Jordan on the West Bank and Egypt in Gaza. The future of the 1.1 million Palestinians will be decided after the transition period. THE PLAN CALLS for talks in- volving Egypt, Jordan, Israel and "the representatives of the Palestinian people" with the participation of the United Nations to discuss details of the transitional government, a timetable for Israeli withdrawal, mutual security arrangements, and any other issues that all sides can agree to discuss. It suggests that only after agreement is reached on all these issues would the Israelis be expected to begin a U.N.- supervised pullout from the territories captured in the 1967 Mideast war. The present military government would be dismantled at the beginning of the tran- sition period. Any security arrangements would be guaranteed by Egpt and Jordan "and will continue to be respected in the West Bank and Gaza." It appeared this clause was meant to allay Israeli fears of a vengeful Palestinian entity from which terrorists would be free to attack the Jewish stae. No reference was made to the Palestine Liberation Organization, with which Israel refuses to negotiate, and it was unclear who the Palestinian representatives would be. It also left SALE w CAMPUSy O BOOTERY 304 SOUTH 0 - STATE STREET H m NUIMA unanswered the question of compen- sation for Palestinian refugees and how immigration would be handled. Sadat is scheduled to meet Israeli op- position leader Shimon Peres this weekend and the plan is certain to be discussed. Egyptian diplomats made it clear one objective of their current tac- tics is to drive a wedge between Prime Minister Menachem Begin and his op- ponents at home. Hughes nominated for top housing post (Continued from Page 1) -Understanding of modern management processes such as per- sonnel selection and grievance han- dling. -Knowledge and understanding of major housing services at a large university. -Appreciation of the degree to which the Housing Office's relationship with the community is important. John Finn, acting associate housing director, said Johnson's recommen- dation of Hughes is a "very good decision" welcomed by most of the Housing Office staff. HUGHES WAS promoted from associate director to acting housing director last September when John Feldkamp resigned. The vacancy of his original position resulted in the promotion of about four Housing Office officials into acting positions. Finn said those positions will not be automatically filled by those now holding them and that the openings will soon be posted within the University. Hughes' selection comes at a time when the University housing operation - one of the largest in the country - is facing probably the most acute space shortage in the school's history. Unlike Feldkamp, who issued a report last summer questioning the feasibility of added housing, Hughes said the need exists and is the "most pressing" issue facing him. "We've projected the need for ad- ditional housing since the last dorm was built in 1968, but our plans have never been brought to fruition," he said, ad- ding that the University has never been able to afford any of the proposed housing plans. Hughes is no newcomer to University housing, being a former South Quad resident. Now, if Johnson's recommen dation is approved, Hughes will be making between $27,300 and $44,200 as housing director.
