But the British coast guard said it was pointless to con- tinue looking for 15 other sailors and called off the search. The rescued seamen were winched to safety from a chunk of the Greek tanker Victory, which broke up in the stormy North Atlantic north of the Azores. THE BODY OF one sailor was removedfrom a liferaft in the dramatic operation carried out despite waves surging to 30 feet and winds of 70 miles an hour. The 16 survivors, who had clung to the shattered stern for 33 hours after the 12,487-ton tanker broke up in a storm early Friday, were ferried to two Dutch Navy frigates in the areal the Van Speijk and Callenburgh. Mike Clouston, senior watch officer at the-Falmouth Coast Guard station, said that both frigates were medically equipped but none of the survivors needed medical attention. MINUTES AFTER, the tanker broke up at 1:30 a.m. Friday, 12, crewmen abandoned ship and launched a life raft but it was smashed by the gale-whipped waves and capsized, Clouston said. For the next 24 hours, the rest of the crew clung to every available hold on what was left of the stern,-consisting of the bridge superstructure, radio room and flooded engine room. telligent." However, tomorrow's primary elec- tions-held in two of the city's five war- ds-don't promise the same color as those of 1975. Times have changed; the Human Rights Party no longer exists, and Ankli, now a registered nurse at the University Hospital, has long since left the political arena. The candidates in tomorrow's primaries, and their issues, are much more conventional. LARRY HUNTER, a social worker for the American Friends Service Committee, will challenge incumbent Earl Greene in the Democratic primary of the First Ward-a traditionally Democratic area with a high student population. Greene said his chief concern in this year's race is the revitalization of Ann Arbor. The city needs to build up its downtown area, according to Greene, to attract new businesses which would generate more employment, and to ease what he perceives as an Ann Arbor housing shortage. Hunter, on the other hand, said he sees direct improvement of social programs and aid to the city's under- priveleged as the most important issues Council must address. THE WINNER of the First Ward Democratic primary will run against Republican Jeffrey Gallatin, a local realtor, in the April general election. Gallatin said his main concern in the election is that city government of- ficials are "voting on issues they know nothing about. They're completely un- prepared to vote or even discuss an issue," Gallatin claimed. "Yet they vote anyway, passing new laws and changing the zoning of various proper- ties, increasing taxes, housing inspec- tion fees, etcetera, which are bad for you and me and make it harder, if not impossible, for us to pay our bills and just exist." In the Third Ward Republican primary, the main point of "contention between Gary Hann, a local real estate professional,.and incumbent David Fisher is the investment of the $43 million city workers' pension fund. HANN SAID he staunchly supports keeping the funds generated by the pension plan in Michigan by investing them only in those businesses with no out-of-state holdings. According to Fisher, however, this plan is unrealistic. It would take money away from many of the state's major corporations, he said, and it would not earn satisfcatory monetary returns. Democratic candidate Raphael Ezekiel, a University associate professor in social psychology, will meet the winner of this primary race in the general elections for the council seat in the Third Ward, an area with a lower per capita income, which generally is considered to be the "swing ward." ACCORDING TO Ezekiel, the main issues of the primary are unem- ployment, social services, aid to the underpriveleged, and crime preven- tion. "The city government is essen- tially run to make Ann Arbor a pleasant place for the rich and the upper-middle class and professinals," he claimed. "The city has been run to make it more and more difficult to live in Ann Arbor if you're not affluent," he added. According to the candidates and councilmembers who are not running for re-election this year, last Decem- ber's redistricting of the city's wards will not have much effect on the out- come of the elections.

Ford, UAW gain pact From UPI and AP DETROIT- Ford Motor Co. and the United Auto Workers union reached tentative agreement last night on a historic 31-month contract intended to revive the slumping auto industry. The agreement, reached 13 days -after talks resumed at the No. 2 automaker, was announced by UAW President Douglas Fraser, chief UAW bargainer Donald Ephlin and Ford Board Chairman Philip Caldwell, who was in Hong Kong but had a statement released at a news conference. "WE BELIEVE the agreement represents a major achievement in terms of providing UAW members at Ford with greater job security," the UAW leaders said in a statement. Fraser and Ephlin added that the new agreement contains "a numIer of provisions aimed at preser- ving jobs and insuring the stability of income for UAW-Ford workers." Under the agreement, Ford will place a two-year moratorium on shutting down plants the company had planned to close. The company said it:; would begin an "em- ployment guarantee" project at selected plants in which workers with 15 years or more service would receive 50 percent of their income if they are laid off, until they reach age 62 or retire. FORD PROVIDED UAW workers with a profit- sharing plan and a new training program to go along with high technology'. The company agreed to a strengthened Supplemental Unemployment Benefit program with prompt resumption of checks to laid off workers. Ford's SUB program, which supplements state unemployment benefits, recently ran out of money. In return, the union gave up its nine paid personal holidays per year and bonuses paid for working on Sunday. Cost-of-livingallowances will be frozen for the next nine months.

Med enro By PINA SBROCCA A controversial state-wide plan to cut 1 medical school enrollments next year by 14 percent in an attempt to control rising health care costs will have little economic impact, a state medical school dean said yesterday. The reduction, expected to take effect in the fall of next year, was proposed by the Michigan Medical School's Council of Deans in response to a request by the governor's Of- ; fice of health and Medical Affairs (OHMA). THE REQUEST was based on the assum- ption that a surplus of physicians contributes to increasing health care costs. OHMA main- tains that since physicians are responsible for major decisions which lead to health expen- liment question ed ditures, more physicians will encourage more doctors than we need but that the country health care. This, in turn, leads to increased more doctors than we're willing to payf Medicaid payments by the state Department said Dean John Gronvall of the Univer! of Social Services. medical school.

Hama has been a longtime hotbed of Islamic extremism. the government says the fighting erupted when police entered the city to arrest members of the Moslem Brotherhood, met armed resistance, and summoned the army. TANKS CIRCLED the city Feb. 3 and shelled Brotherhood hideouts. Helicop- ter gunships were also deployed by the government, and the well-placed Syrian source said apparently two were shot down. What's worrisome to the Syrians is how well armed the extremists are. "The army thought they could get it over with in 24 hours," said a well-placed Syrian source. "They did not expect them (the fundamentalists) to have such weapons." The unrest seems to be the most serious confrontation betweeen Assan and the Moslem Brotherhood, which has assassinated government officials and planted several bombs in more than two years of anti-government terror. The Hama hositilities led Syria to lodge a formal complaint against the United States after State Department spokesman Dean Fischer told reporters last Wednesday that serious fighting was going on in the region. Syria complained that the remarks represented U.S. meddling in Syria's internal affairs. WHO CAN AFFORD COLLEGE. ARE THOSE. WHO --DONT NEEQ TO Go IN TMEFIRST)PLACE yJ - - I r~" Tuition skyrockets in schools across country NEW YORK (UPI) - A $50,000 tab for a college education at the higher-priced private schools soon will wallop thousands of American budgets. A United Press International survey showed yesterday that some tuitions will hit $12,000 a year in the 1982-83 school year. IF THE PRICES keep going up, the cost of four years will be more than $50,000 by 1985 at the most expensive schools. For bargain hunters, there are the state universities such as those in Texas, heavily subsidized by state funds, where the ap- propriation per student in a public univer- sity if $4,354. The cost to the student is $4 a credit or $120 for a full load of 30 credits during the school year. THE STATE appropriations per student at the public colleges in the nation range from a high of $12,712 in Alaska to a low of $1,943 in New Hampshire. At many other state universities tuition increages are expected due to state budget cutbacks, said James Trulove, editor of "Memo to College Presidents," put out by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. In the academic stratosphere, meanwhile, all-time high bills in the $12,000 ballpark are projected mostly at the expensive private schools such as Yale University and Stan- ford University. There are dozens of-such schools across America. THE FIGURE for four years covers tuition, room and board, and miscellaneous expenses. It's not a bad deal, to hear oficials tell it. the tuition paid by the student is from one- third to one-half of the actual cost of instruc- tion.

Frances Tickle, Paul's mother, said Long would come over to the Tickle home and visit Paul, 26, for two or three days at a time. "I've got nothing against Vickie," said Mrs. Tickle, who swore out the warrant against Long last November. "But this is only a three bedroom house and there are eight people living in it." Mrs. Tickle said Long ignored repeated warnings to leave the family home, "so we took her to court." But Long said she canot stay away from Paul.
