KEVIN TOTTIS A new monthly publication "geared to those with black interests" is slated to appear around campus sometime during the middle of this month. "Black Perspective," according to LSA junior and General Manager Tony Williams, will contain "the type of stories that will interest black collegiates" and basically will "inform the black student population of the dif- ferent supportive services that pertain to the black community." APPROXIMATELY 25 students have been working on producing this month's issue, according to Editor-in-Chief and LSA senior Vincent Dent. The first edi- tion is expected to include articles on black student attrition rates, divest- ment, and Black History Month. Dent added that the magazine will contain entertainment articles as well as news. "We hope that everyone in the Ann Arbor community will pick up the paper and learn some things about black existence in Ann Arbor," Williams said. All of the content in the magazine will be the product of freelancers, Williams said. He also emphasized that non- blacks are encouraged to submit ar- ticles. "Anyone who wants to write an article can, regardless of their color." ALTHOUGH ENTIRELY student run, "Black Perspective" does have an advisory board whose members include Journalism faculty and professional journalists. Williams said the magazine will be free and will be distributed in a manner similar to the University Record. Funding for the publication, accor- ding to Dent, has come from a variety of sources including advertising, the Afro/American Center, private sour- ces, the group's own fund raisers anti President Harold Shapiro's discretionary fund. Dent said that overall, "Black Per- spective's" major goal is continuity. "We want to establish a paper that is here long after we're gone."

FIRST PRIZE $5~o m NAME ' ADDRESS PHONE DATE/TIME From AP and UPI BEIRUT, Lebanon - Rival Christian groups battled with mortars and ar- tillery in northern Lebanon yesterday and five combatants were reported, killed. In Beirut, snipers killed a civilian motorist and wounded two pedestrians on the highway connecting the Christian and Moslem sectors. High-flying Israeli jets drew anti-air- craft fire from Syrian and Palestinian gunners and a clash between Israelis and Palestinians was reported in the south. his troops out of Beirut, criticized Lebanese leaders for not making peace since the war ended. He agreed to delay the withdrawal for a few days to allow the government to plan ways to fill the security void. THE DECISION stunned all major parties to the Lebanese problem, in- cluding Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) whose guerrillas are based here. Syrian President Hafez Assad has delayed the pullout for a few days, and the Lebanese government is scram- bling for means to fill the security vacuum.' Assad offered the only firm hint of the reasons for the withdrawal when he ex- coriated Lebanese politicians for doing nothing to heal the wounds of the 1975-76 civil war that pitted Christians against an J alliance of Moslems and Palestinians. HE ALSO said he did not want his Beirut-based soldiers, estimated at 5,000 of 22,000 Syrian troops in Lebanon, performing functions of the Lebanese police. Well-informed sources say there is much opposition in Syria to a prolonged peacekeeping role because the troops are being drawn into the corruption fostered by Lebanon's post-civil war chaos. "It's the worst kind of duty fo* an army," said one military source. Lebanon's embittered civil war com- batants - the rightist Christians of east Beirut and the leftist Moslems of west Beirut - not only have failed to move toward reconciliation, but have rear- med their militias since the Syrians arrived 3% years ago. Diplomats, politicians and other well informed observers, however, see mor far-reaching motives and ramification in Syria's planned withdrawal. The immediate impact of Assad's decision was to draw world attention to Lebanon and Syria - which have been upstaged by the Egyptian-Israeli peace talks and the crises in Iran and Afghanistan. Lebanese, PLO and Saudi leaders rushed to Damascus after the announcement. U INTO THE SECOND CHANCE MONDAY, FEB.11 DOOT BOY SLIM,* + the SEX CHANGE BAND w/ the ROOTETTES.

Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin warned that Israel would help defend the Christians anywhere in Lebanon if they were attacked. Hours earlier, the military command in Tel Aviv said Israeli soldiers repelled four heavily armed Palestinian com- mandos trying to infiltrate from Lebanon Wednesday night. A HAND grenade hurled by one of the guerrillas slightly wounded one soldier but the squad escaped into a U.N.- controlled zone. Jittery residents in Beirut again were making runs on grocery stores, hoar- ding canned goods, sugar, household supplies and other staples against the possibility the city might erupt again in civil war as it did in 1975-76. About 50 miles north of Beirut, gun- men loyal to former President Suleiman Franjieh fought with militiamen of the rival Phalange party, which fielded the largest Christian ar- my during the 1975-76 civil war. A PHALANGE spokesman said Frankieh's men, backed by Syrian ar- tillery, attacked two pro-Phalange villages, Kanat and Deir Bill. Gover- nment sources said five men were killed and eight wounded. Franjieh split with the Phalangists over his support for Syria's November 1976 military intervention that ended Lebanon's 19-month civil war. Phalangists resented Syrian peacekeeping curbs in Christian areas. Syrian President Hafez Assad, in an- nouncing Monday that he was pulling Japan cuts $1.4 billion in trade credits to USSR TOKYO (UPI)-Japan decided yesterday to stop giving new trade credits to the Soviet Union in retaliation for the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, government sources said. Financial sources estimated that the move means a freeze of about $1.4 billion in government credits originally earmarked for two-way trade and Soviet development projects. THE DECISION came after a meeting yesterday between Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira and senior officials of the foreign, international trade and industry and finance ministries, government officials said. Meanwhile, in Washington, President Carter is sending Secretary of State Cyrus Vance to West Germany for a I LAST MARRIED ( )UPLE discussion with allies on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Moscow's divide and conquer diplomatic moves, officials said yesterday. The meeting will be held in Bon around Feb. 20, the officials said; and foreign ministers from West Germany, France, Great Britain, and Canada are expected to attend. Officials said the agenda is likely to include a discussion on the "several billions of dollars" in economic and military assistance Pakistan wants to counter any Soviet incursions into its territory. SANTA SURVIVES NEW YORK (AP)-Santa Claus is still for real, at least for most children up to 17 years old. An informal poll here of youngsters from 2 to 12 (some via their parents) by a Christmas card manufacturer showed that the cut-off age for belief in St. Nick starts at about 7. Over 90 p cent of the 6-and-under group clung t their faith in the existence of Santa, but the belief slipped to less than 50 per cent among the 7 and 8s. From 9 up, a Hallmark survey showed, the doubts grew stronger, with only about 10 per cent of the 10-to- 12-year-olds still getting a tingle out of Kris Kringle. Of !:MORE NEW WAVE ROCK!!!
