4 Page 2-Tuesday, March 15, 1983-The Michigan Daily Lebanon pushes for self-protected border WASHINGTON (AP) - Lebanese Foreign Minister Elie Salem said yesterday Israeli fears that Lebanon cannot prevent terrorists from crossing its borders "are not justified" and Israel should get its troops out of his country without further delay. Emerging from a meeting with Secretary of State George Shultz, Salem said "some progress" is being made in talks on the question of an Israeli pullout. He rejected an assertion by Israeli Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir that Israel should help bolster security in southern Lebanon for a period of years because the Lebanese army is not strong enough. "THE LEBANESE ARMY is capable now to control all the territory of Lebanon," he said. "We in Lebanon are anxious to have the Lebanese army control all the Lebanese territory and for all non-Lebanese armies and forces i leave Lebanon." The issue of protection for Israel af- ter a troop withdrawal has become the major stumbling block preventing a withdrawal agreement between the two neighbors. Shamir hinted in an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America" yesterday that Israel wants U.S. backing for keeping some forces in Lebanon for two or three years. " WE ARE NOT willing to stay there, to have a permanent Israeli presence, but for a few years - two years, three years . We want to have some arrangements that we will cooperate - Israelis and Lebanese - that we will prevent the coming back of these terrorists," Shamir said. Shamir met with Shultz for three hours,then went to the White House for a meeting with President Reagan. Af- terward, the Israeli foreign minister said the White House discussions had been "very good and friendly talks." "The president expressed again his feelings of friendship towards Israel, his concerns about the security of Israel and his wish to accelerate the arrival of peace in our area - e peace between all the countries and Israel," Shamir toldsreporters. THEY DID NOT discuss details of Shultz ... meets with Lebanese minister negotiations on getting Israeli troops out of Lebanon, the foreign minister said. An aide said Shamir would return to the State Department for another meeting with Shultz following his session with Reagan. Shultz and other U.S. officials have supported Lebanon's demand that all Israeli troops leave. Israel has wanted to keep about 750 Israeli soldiers and as many as five anti-terrorist observation posts in southern Lebanon. One alternative put forward by Washington is to have an international force, possibly including Americans, assist Lebanon in protectings its border with Israel. Report questions tax plan LANSING (UPI) - Michigan's in- come tax increase could be as little as 0.6 percentage point or as much as 1.5 percentage point, depending on deficit and spending reduciton figures used, a research firm said yesterday. The Citizens Research Council said an increase of one point would do the trick if the projections of Gov. James Blanchard's Financial Crisis Council are accepted and spending cuts "at mid-range" - $302 million - are im- posed. The council also said the state's cash shortage could be reduced to "in- significant proportions" in four years even without a specific tax increase earmarked for that purpose. The council's report offered no specific proposals of its .own, but merely outlined various options and their consequences. MSA raffles at"~ Rck 9 UofM CHAPTER OF AAUP OPEN MEETING Thursday, March 17 at Noon Michigan League Conference Rooms 4 & 5, A ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION OF THE UNIVERSITY'S PROCESS Frederick W. Bertolaet, William T. Carter, Jr., Thomas M. Dunn Murray E. Jackson, William J. Johnson, PARTICIPANTS School of Education School of Art LSA, Chemistry Department School of Education School of Natural Resources By LAURIE DELATER Someone will walk away from Rick's American Cafe tonight with more than a buzz. The odds are about 1,000-1, but some lucky student will take home the $250 grand prize in the Michigan Student Assembly raffle. PROCEEDS from the raffle will go to a student scholarship fund, according to raffle chairman Drew Marcus, who is also a member of MSA's Financial Aid Committee. Students who have already bought tickets will not have to pay a cover charge. For those who still want to en- ter the raffle, tickets will be on sale at the bar for $1 and the winners will be drawn at midnight, Marcus said. In addition to the grand prize, students will have the chance to win a $150 MATZA BALLS - Food for Thought See page 7 programmable calculator, as well as dinners for two at the Count of An- tipasto and the Great Lakes Shipping Company. Other local merchants have also donated prizes, Marcus said. THE RAFFLE is only one way the committee is trying to raise money for student financial aid and increase student awareness about proposed aid cuts. A spring beer bash at the University Club is'one fundraiser in the planning stages, Marcus said. On the national level, committee members organized a petition cam- paign against the Solomon Amen- dment, which links student financial aid to draft registration. The petitions were presented to Congress last week, according to MSA member Jono Soglin. This week, students will visit dorms to encourage students to write their congressment protesting financial aid cuts and the Solomon Amendment, Soglin said. MSA is also looking into the possibility of setting up a computer in- formation service about financial aid for eligible students, he said. Lunch trays may be brought from the cafeteria. The program will begin at 12:30.

IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports OPEC slashes oil prices LONDON - The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed yesterday for the first time in its 23-year history to slash it sbase oil price by $5 to $29 a barrel to avert a global pricing war. Sources said the 13-nation cartel also decided to retain its current produc- tion ceiling of 17,5 million barrels a day and impose strict quotas for each member after 12 days of bitter negotiations to prevent a world oil price collapse. OPEC Secretary General Marc Nguema said the cartel agreed to set a new official price of $29 per barrel with the strict production ceiling of 17.5 million barrels per day. Each $1-a-barrel drop in world crude oil prices theoretically means a savings of 2.3 cents a gallon for the U.S. motorist and homeowner who heats with oil, but analysts say consumer prices have fallen to a level almost equal to $29 a barrel oil. Analysts said the OPEC agreement should temporarily halt the recent fall in world oil prices and minimize the threat of an all-out price war for the time being. Dioxin check urged in Midland LANSING - A Midland-based group and a dissident state environmental employee yesterday urged that a dioxin threat involving Dow Chemical Co. is checked. Figures on cancer and birth defects in the Midland area were cited by Larry Fink, a Department of Natural Resources employee who runs the Foresight Society, and Andrea Wilson, director of the Environmental Congress of Mid-Michigan. They said there should be a thorough study on dioxin levels in Midland- area soil and dust and a health risk assessment performed while work at Dow is suspended. "We are afraid to live in Midland, afraid of what we might be exposing our children to and we are afraid for their future," Ms. Wilson said. The groups made their call in a letter to Gov. James Blanchard which was released at a Capitol news conference held under unusually tense conditions. State police security guards reportedly were asked to attend the news con- ference to prevent disruptions by unspecified non-reporters. There was no immediate response from- the governor's office, but Dow issued a statement reiterating the company's position that the dioxin 2,3,7,8- TCDD is "The inevitable byproduct of a variety of natural and man-made sources" and "may not be the health threat that some people fear." 31 jailed in Miami riot MIAMI - Thirty-one people were jailed yesterday on looting and loitering charges after 500 youths and young adults took to the streets in the troubled Liberty City ghetto because police shut down an open-air party. Police said the youths rampaged for four hours Sunday night, smashing windows, hurling bottles and beer cans and torching bins of trash in the city's second major street disturbance in four months. Police put up roadblocks and diverted traffic from the area Sunday night after three white motorists were taken to a hospital with minor injuries. They were treated and later released. Unlike the Liberty City riot of nearly three years ago and a disturbance in Overtown last December, Police said the latest disorder in a black neigh- borhood was not racially motivated. "It had nothing to do with race," police spokesman Angelo Bitsis said. "It was caused by people who didn't want to turn their music down." A self-serve filling station was ransacked and angered partygoers smashed at least one police car windshield before spilling into Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Liberty City's main thoroughfare. A car windshield and rear window were bashed in and trash bins were set ablaze, authorities said. Reagan stands behind National Security Consultant WASHINGTON - The White House yesterday reaffirmed President Reagan's "full confidence" in national security consultant Thomas Reed and said a top aide is expected to meet soon with a congressman seeking documents regarding Reed's stock dealings. Deputy press secretary Larry Speakes said national security adviser William Clark is expected to meet later this week with John Dngell (D- Mich.) chairman of a House subcommittee that oversees the Securities Ex- change Commision. A subcommittee spokesman said no meeting has yet been scheduled. But Dingell has informally requested background documents in the questionable stock dealings case, which is being reviewed by a New York grand jury for possible criminal charges. Reagan threatens jobs bill veto WASHINGTON-The Senate, facing the threat of a presidential veto, tried yesterday to pass a multibillion-dollar jobs bill that would keep 27 states-including Michigan-from running out of unemployment compen- sation money. President Reagan has said he will veto the measure if it contains a popular amendment to repeal tax withholding on interest and dividends. But Sen. Robert Kasten (R-Wis.) sought a vote on the repeal, which has 53 sponsors in the Senate and about 250 in the House. The overall bill that includes the $3.8 billion Senate jobs bill also contains $5 billion to replenish the federal unemployment insurance trust fund, which lends money to states at 10 percent interest to pay unemployment claims. The fund runs dry after today. The Senate planned to stay in session last night if necessary to pass the bill and send it to conference with the House, which passed a $4.9 billion jobs measure.
