There will be a fact sheet distributed on campus today detailing examples of the Daily's tran- sgressions, he said.. Barry Witt, editor-in-chief of the Daily, said he doesn't expect the petition to get campus-wide support. "We are open to criticism, but we haven't seen that we've done anything irresponsible," Witt said. THE PETITION also calls for the Daily to make an effort to decrease the "irresponsible journalism" in the future. Mark Klein, an MSA member who supported the petition, cited specific ar- ticles in which he beleives the Daily was irresponsible, including the story entitled "Japs: Are they fact or fic- tion?" and a February article about a woman with bulimia who was expelled from her sorority. Klein also said the Daily's coverage of the recent Sigma Alpha Mu frater- nity jungle party was "irresponsible." KLEIN MADE two other proposals dealing with the Daily, but both were later withdrawn. One recommended asking the Daily to hold training seminars each week to ensure the quality of responsible journalism. The other proposed that an ombud- sman be appointed to investigate com- plaints against the Daily every year and report his or her findings. The Daily is an independent publication with no link to student government. Woman raped in E.

He said he was encouraged by the reaction of East Quad residents and police. "Ten years ago, someone (who was assaulted) wouldn't have gotten lot of support. I think it's encouraging all the support that's been.given," he said. A Llp Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Nicaragua smuggles weapons to Salvadorans, Honduras says TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras - Honduras claimed yesterday that its army intercepted Nicaraguan troops smuggling weapons to the leftist guerrillas in El Salvador. From the other side of Central America's newest war, Nicaragua charged that Honduran troops attacked two Nicaraguan border posts. There also were more reports of sporadic fighting in northern Nicaragua between Nicaraguan troops and anti-Sandinista exiles based in Honduras. The exiles claimed to have killed 20 Nicaraguans in an ambush. A Honduran government spokesman told reporters security forces inter- cepted 12 Nicaraguan soldiers carrying a "large quantity" of weapons Saturday at Nacaome, more than two-thirds of the way across the 70-mile neck of Honduran territory between Nicaragua and El Salvador. "That is why we can say with certainty that Nicaragua is violating Hon- duran territory by sending small groups of soldiers and weapons to El Salvador to strengthen and supply the guerrillas in that country," the spokesman said. Salvadoran soldiers captured SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador - Leftist guerrillas yesterday said they captured 114 soldiers in an attack 29 miles from the capital and warned Americans will "dig your own tombs" if they intervene in the country's civil war. In a broadcast on rebel Radio Venceremos, insurgents also praised a three-man U.S. congressional delegation visiting El Salvador this week for trying to attach strict human rights conditions to any new aid package. "We salute this dignified gesture, but warn Ronald Reagan's imperialist hawks we do not like their bitter aggressions," the broadcast said. "The North American people and the m~oderate forces in that country know it will be a useless waste of dollars that will not save the army but only increase the suffering of the Salvadoran people," it said. It said the Salvadoran government's "dictatorship in defeat" is seeking $110 million in fresh U.S. aid that Reagan is trying to push through Congress. Lebanon rejects Israeli troops The Lebanese government rejected Israeli demands on security arrangements in south Lebanon yesterday and gave U.S. envoy Philip Habib a letter outlining its position to carry back to Washington, a Lebanese news agency said. Habib conferred with Lebanese President Amin Gemayel and other top of- ficials on the 3-month-old talks on the withdrawal of 30,000 Israeli troops and Beirut newspapers said Lebanon was still demanding a complete Israeli pullout. TheCentral Information Agency, close to the Beirut government, said Habib was given a letter outlining Lebanon's position to take back to Washington today. "Lebanon has reaffirmed its refusal of Israeli demands and especially those on security arrangements for south Lebanon because they infringe upon its sovereign.ty, the agency said. Execution deadline extended for kidnaped Texaco executive BOGOTA, Colombia - The terrorists who threatened to kill kidnapped. American oilman Kenneth Bishop yesterday have postponed the deadline, and a nephew of the Texaco executive is negotiating with them, a relative of the missing man reported. The source, who asked not to be identified, refused to say what the new deadline was. Nor would he give any indication of the kidnappers' demands, which they have never made public. A Bogota radio station reported three weeks ago that the guerrillas are demanding$50 million. The station gave no source for its information, and Lt. Jose Rosario Gonzalez of the public relations department of the national police said the police doubt the report was true. Bishop, the 57-year-old production manager for Texaco's Colombian sub- sidiary and a resident of the country for 25 years, was kidnapped March 7 by three men and a woman who killed his two bodyguards as they were driving him to work. The People's Revolutionary Organization, which kidnapped a government official last year and killed her after holding her for five months, sent a newspaper photograph of Bishop holding the organization's red and black flag and a communique saying he would be executed March 29 if Texaco did not meet the group's demands. But it has never made public those demands. Boston youths convicted in subway death of black man BOSTON - A jury convicted two young white men of manslaughter yesterday in the death of a black man who ran into the path of a subway train as he fled a gang of whites who were stoning and jeering him. The jury of eight whites and four blacks deliberated all day Monday before finding Francis Devin, 20, and William Joyce; 19, guilty of three counts each of assault with a dangerous weapon. The jury met for half an hour yesterday morning before finding the two Boston youths guilty of manslaughter. Defense attorneys said they will appeal the verdicts. The prosecution charged that on the night of March 13, 1982, William Atkinson, a 30-year-old maintenance worker, ran into the Savin Hill rapid transit station in the city's Dorchester section to escape the jeering youths who threw rocks and bottles and shouted racial slurs at him. Three other men await trial in the case. Atkinson, who died when he ran into the path of a subway train, found him- self "in a funnel from which there was no escape," the prosecution conten- ded. 4 h 4 6y ULTRAVOX: A WORLD CLASS ACT Gold & Platinum awards in: U.K., Japan, Holland, Australia, New Zealand and Belgium. ;,;ooooo records sold NVorldwide POISED TO CAPTURE THE U.S. Specially Priced New Album & Cassette Red- On Sale at $4.99 Produced by George Martin Givethf Appearing at Michigan Theatre, Thursday, March 31 Available at Schoolkids' Records 523 E.
