Police said all 168 passengers, many of them travel agents on a promotional trip, and six crew members were killed. Ajaccio police said there were no survivors and that the victims included three children. However, the Yugoslav company which owned the plane, Inex-Adria Airways, was unable to say exactly how many people were aboard., It said the craft was equipped to carry a maximum of 175 passengers. THE COMPANY also said several ticket- holders canceled out at the last minute when it left Yugoslavia and that several of the passengers known to be on board were infants who could have been seated on their parents' laps. Officials said the plane crashed into the west side of the fog-shrouded 4,543-foot-high Mount San Pietro about 30 miles from the airport and near the village of Casa Casalabriva. They said it hit the ground about 597 feet from the top of the peak. The Inex-Adria DC-9 Super 80 was only minutes away from touching down at Ajaccio Airport - which the International Federation of Airline Pilots Associations have blacklisted because they believe its landing equipment devices are not modern enough to guide jetliners See YUGOSLAVIAN, Page 3 Allen cleared in Japanese gift dispute From AP and UPI WASHINGTON - The Justice Department absolved Richard Allen yesterday of any wrongdoing in his receipt of $1,000 from Japanese jour- nalists, but will continue looking into other aspects of the White House national security adviser' financial af- fairs. No special prosecutor will be requested regarding the $1,000 "thank you" gift from a Japanese magazine, the Justice Department announcement said, because "the department has not 'received' or discovered any specific in- formation that Mr. Allen violated federal criminal law." THE STATEMENT said, however, it is unclear whether provisions for a special prosecutor will be triggered by two additional facts that recently came to light - Allen's receipt of two watches from the Japanese journalists, and the revisions of statements on his financial disclosure form.I "The applicability of the special prosecutor provisions to those matters has not yet been determined. At this time, it would be premature and inap- propriate to comment further," said the written statement. Allen, who took an administrative leave of absence over the weekend, said the decision on whether he will return to this duties "will depend on my colleagues at the White House. We'll wait and see." Allen has consistently denied wrongdoing regarding any' of the questions raised since the White House acknowledged that he ahd taken the $1,000, put it in a safe, and forgot ab- out it for eight months. But in public appearances following his leave of ab- sence, he has conceded he exercised "bad judgement" in that case and suf- fered lapses of memory in others. In the formal statement, the depar- tment said the FBI interviewed 36 people in the United States and Japan on the Allen case. "In sum, when the uncontradicted facts are analyzed in the context of possible applicable criminal laws, it is clear there was no criminal violation by Allen regarding the $1,000," it said.

Newly unionized TAs uninformed about GEO By JANET RAE Graduate student teaching assistants remain largely uninformed about the activities of the Graduate Employees Organization even though GEO won a major battle against the University administration last week. GEO won a Michigan Employment Relations Committee decision last month that declared GSAs to be legal University employees. The decision also ordered the University to sign a contract that was negotiated with the group in 1976 and to begin efforts to formulate a new contract with GEO. DISCUSSIONS on new contract negotiations with University represen- tatives began yesterday, GEO ad hoc steering committee member David Marker said. Upon implementation of the 1976 contract, GEO will have the authority to begin drawing union dues from GSA paychecks.I GEO ad hoc steering committee member Paul Harris said discussions between the union and University negotiators will continue on Dec. 17. He said a number of problems regarding retroactive implementation of the earlier contract were raised in yester- day's meeting. "We need to agree on whether or not the University retroactively is respon- sible for such things as dues that weren't collected because we didn't have a contract." Yet, even as GEO takes its place as the official GSA union, interviews with 17 LSA teaching assistants reflected an overall sympathy for the GEO efforts, but little knowledge of what im- plications their new status as em- ployees will hold. "I favor organizing activities as a whole," English TA Paul Johnson said. "I have felt sympathetic to (GEO) ef- forts in the past but I would want to see the specifics of what they're asking for" before forming anopinion, he said. Johnston's comments formed a rough summary of the opinions held by most of those interviewed. Ten of the 17 in- terviewed knew only that GEO had won 'some kind of court decision.' "You just keep collecting all those colored pieces of paper that say 'GEO'," geography TA Rick Nesper said. "After awhile you stop noticing what they say." While Nesper said he "morally" sup- ports the GEO efforts, he said he had seen few changes as a result of the group's battle during the last few years. "I always thought they were inef- fieient," he said. "At this point, I don't know how I feel about becoming an em- ployee." But TA attitudes toward GEO were not unanimously positive. "I don't favor the GEO efforts," an- thropology TA Virginia Vitzthum said. "I've had long discussions and debates over the issue but I still don't favor unionization. I . just don't believe in closed shops. It's my view that if it is a good union, it will survive:" Vitzthum said that, while she knew little about recent GEO bargaining ef- forts, she saw few benefits of previous GEO actions. "I'm hardly representative. I guess I really don't see that GEO has gained anything for graduate students," Vit- zthum said. "Anything that was won wasn't won because of GEO." Business school growing despite. By LISA SPECTOR At a time when most parts of the University are struggling to maintain the status quo, the University's business school is expanding at a rapid pace. Plans are underway to build a $15 million complex that will include a new library, computing center, classrooms, and dormitories for visiting executives. During the past three years, the business school has seen a 35 percent increase in faculty. In addition, close to $790,000 has been spent for renovations. IT'S ALL PART of a general cam- paign to make the University's business school one of the top three in the coun- try. "Everything we do must be done well," Business School Dean Bilbert Whitaker said. He said he is aiming for improvements in every sphere, not only in education but in research activities and visibility. Private donations accounted for 70 percent of the past renovations and will completely finance the new complex. THE NEW complex, which will com- plete the present business school financial quadrangle at the corner of Tappan and Hill Streets, will consist of three buildings, each three levels high and connected to each other on the second level. The new library will cost ap- proximately $5 million. It will be two- and-a-half times the size of the current business school library and will occupy one third of the new complex. Another third of the complex, also costing approximately $5 million, will provide housing for the 8,000 business executives who visit the university each year. In past years these executives have stayed at hotels off campus, but Associate Dean William Moller said it will be beneficial to both the executives and the University to house them on campus where they can be close to the library and where it will be easier for executives to interact with professors and students. ABOUT $2.5 million will be used to build classrooms and offices for the division of management education, which, Moller said, "is a $5-million-a- year business." The University now of- fers more than 250 seminars and crunch programs to managers worldwide. The remaining approximate $2.5 million will be used to finance a new computing center which will contain a batch station, student-oriented com- puter laborator, and a division for com- puter research. The school's major concern now is to raise funds to finance the new struc- ture. The business school currently has 1 percent of the approximate $15 million needed. Dean Whitaker said that although the school is currently "very actively engaged in fund raising ac- tivity," it cannot announce an official fundraising campaign until a substan- tial amount of money has been commit- ted to the project. THE REGENTS have already given their approval for the design concept and for the working drawings for three- fourths of the project. Most of the funds will come from private donations - alumni, foun- dations, and corporations, - which have always been the school's major source of funding. It may be "harder than in better See BUSINESS, Page 2 AP Photo The selling of Michigan Commerce Director Norton Berman explains a proposed state promotion campaign designed to amend Michigan's recession-tattered image.

HERE HAVE ALL THE Markley students gone?" Such was Cornelia Frye's anguished cry Monday when only 101 students from the sprawling Hill dorm showed up to donate blood for the Red Cross' annual November drive. Frye, blood drive coordinator of the Washtenaw County Red Cross, said she had expected to see about 320 students-the amount of Markley residents who usually give blood. The drive moved to East Quad yesterday and turnout was fine. To err is human Kenneth Johnson says that when you're putting together: a 1,396 page book, it's only natural that a few mistakes might creep in-such as misspelling President Reagan's name. Johnson is the editor of the 1982 edition of Missouri's official state manual, which dropped the first "a" in the president's name, showing it as "Regan." Johnson said with the thousands of facts, figures, and names that go into the book, "an occasional error is almost impossible to avoid." Johnson said he and five staff members were onerating under a reduced budget this year. The Missouri to the worst answers and the lowest marks to the best an- swers, officials have discovered. "We've never run into this problem before," Charles Gibson, vice-chairman of the Vermont Board of Bar Examiners, said Monday. Gibson said the mistake was discovered when an applicant who had flunked asked to have an essay reviewed. The essays, which make up half the test, are graded on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 the highest possible score. The unsuccessful ap- plicant found that one of the answers matched the perfect model for the question, but the examiner had given the essay a 1. The board checked and discovered that one examiner had misunderstood the grading system and had crivan a--.f r f fttn Iehct+ T4 ,,Ttwn 't ,lar hnmw request to be legally known by only her first name was the only petition of its kind that he knew of in state history. Darilyn was born Darilyn Zieg and was known as Darilyn Fisher during her first marriage. Now she legally shares her second husband's last name-Preble. "I'm tired of having everybody else's name. I don't want to be known as Mrs. anything," she said. Under common law a person may use any name, provided there is no attempt to defraud or evade legal or financial obligations. But a court order is necessary to alter most government records.
