Victims in both the 11 p.m. incidents were University students. In the first attempt, a 21-year-old man was ap- proached by two men with a gun, who demanded he give them money. One of the men grabbed the victim's wallet but, after he saw,there was no cash in it, both suspects fled on foot. IN THE SECOND incident, a 21-year-old man was grabbed by five or six men as he walked out the front door of the Union. They pushed him back into the vestibule, threw him against a wall and told him to hand over his money. The victim refused and, when passers-by opened a door to the vestibule, he yelled to them that he was being mugged and asked them to call police. A few seconds later, he broke away from his assailants and ran to the desk of the Campus information Cen- _ ter, where an employee was already calling police. The victim was followed by one of his alleged attackers, a 19-year-old Yp- silanti man, who asked him not to call police. The man was arrested later and released pending futher investigation. THE SECOND VICTIM, who asked not to be identified, expressed shock that such a serious crime could take place on University property at such a relatively early hour. "You'd expect something like this in downtown Detroit, but not on the steps of the Michigan~Union," he said. He also speculated that his assailants may have been attending one of the parties being held in the Union ballroom. But John Brockett, associate director of the Union, said the Union has extra security whenever there is a dance or party. He said he did not believe the two parties and attempted robberies were connected. 'I heard about the incidents but, as I understand it, they happened outside and had nothing to do with the parties,' _ he said. 'If (the incidents) were tied to the party, I usually would have heard about it (from the security guards)."

Two shells landed inside the Marine compound before dawn. After the U.S.l bombardment started, a half dozen mortar rounds and one 106 mm shell burst behind the Marines' lines, but there were no casualties, a Marine spokesman said. Meanwhile, Druse Moslems protested outside the U.S. Embassy yesterday against the Marine shelling of Druse targets in the Shouf Mountain- of Lebanon. Some 50-100 protesters milled outside the embassy in Tel Aviv while their leader Sheikh Amin Tarif conferred with U.S. Ambassador Samuel Lewis. The demonstrations came as Israeli news reports said Israel would not get involved in the Lebanese fighting ex- cept if its "vital security interests" are threatened.

The NRP was one of four parties that sent delegations to President Chaim Herzog to state their choice for the premiership. Deputy Foreign Minister Yehuda Ben-Meir said the entire delegation expressed support for Shamir. NRP leader Yosef Burg, Begin's interior minister, told reporters his party "attaches the utmost importance to the speed with which a new government is to be formed." He said he believed it would take the opposition Labor Par- ty too long to agree on the political payoffs required to put together a parliamentary majority. Herzog today will complete consultations with all parties and then designate the man considered to have the best chance of forming a gover- nment. His choice will have 21 days to form a coalition and can get a 21-day extensin if he shows the president he is on the way to forming a majority. U.S. indicates Swiss firm in $48 million tax dodging case NEW YORK - Swiss commodities trading giant Marc Rich Co. AG. and two of its owners were indicted yesterday on charges of dodging $48 million in taxes in what authorities said was the largest U.S. tax case ever prosecuted. A 51-count indictment also charged businessmen March Rich and Pincus Green with "trading with the enemy" by buying $200 million worth of oil from Iran during the Iranian hostage crisis. The oil purchaes with Iran were made after the Nov. 4, 1979, seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran and after the Carter administration declared it illegal to trade with Iran, according to the charges. A federal grand jury in Manhattan charged that the company dodged taxes by concealing $100 million in illicit profit earned by sidestepping federal price controls on domestic oil. The defendants all were charged with racketeering, punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $25,000 fine. A prosecutor said both Rich and Green apparently have fled the country and are living in Switzerland. The U.S. government will attempt to have them extradited, he said. Former Congressman enters race for Levin's Senate seat EAST LANSING - Former U.S. Rep. James Dunn formally announced his candidacy for democrat Carl Levin's seat in the U.S. Senate yesterday,.por- traying himself as a strong backer of Reaganomics. The millionaire Republican made the announcement at the offices of his East Lansing home building firm, stressing his background as a businessman who "started out with almost nothing," rather than his experience during one term in Congress. Dunn is the first Republican to formally enter the race. Peace Corps Director Loret Ruppe and state GOP Vice Chairwoman Jacqueline McGregor are known to be considering the race. "I hive made this decision because I believe in President Ronald Reagan," Dunn said. "I believe President Reagan has taken our nation from the abyss of economic ruin and his returned us to the policies and programs which made America great." Dunn said he'differs with Reagon only on such social issues as the Equal Rights Amendment and abortion: The builder takes a pro-choice stand on abortion. Nicaraguans crush rebel attack Nicaraguan forces killed 75 rebels and captured 100 others in crushing a two- pronged insurgent bid to seize -a key Caribbean seaport and set up a provision government, the leftist government said yesterday. In U.S.-aided El Salvador, heavy combat was reported in southeastern Usulutan province, where rebels attacked a company of navy troopers on patrol to try and intercept weapons and supplies sent by Nicaragua to the Salvadoran insurgents across Jiquilisco Bay. Rebels killed 10 of the naval soldiers and wounded eight others, the clan- destine Radio Venceremos said. A Nicaraguan army communique said that more than 400 "heavily ar- med" guerrillas of the U.S.-backed Nicaraguan Derocratic Force entered the central provinces of Boaco and Chontales in Mid-August from bases in Honduras. During the three weeks the rebles roamed the ocuntryside, they killed 33 peasants, decapitating 18 of them, kidnapped 40 others and burned 30 farms, the government said. Soviets intensify search for jet WAKKANAI, Japan - The Soviets yesterday increased their fleet search- ing for wreckage of the South Korean airliner they shot down Sept. 1, and a South Korean research ship with six frogmen was also preparing to join the sweep. The Japanese reported finding more wreckage from the Boeing 747, in cluding a piece of the cabin wal and a chunk of lightweight metal alloy. Japanese officials said three more submersible vehicles - two minisubs and a diving bell - were added to the 19 Soviet ships and one minisub sear- ching west of the Soviet island of Sakhalin, but there was no indication they had located the principal target of the hunt, the airliner's two flight data recorders. The recorders, carried in the tail of the jumbo jet, might contain tapes of cockpit conversations that would help unravel the mystery of why the plane strayed into Soviet airspace before a Soviet fighter's missiles brought it down, killing all 269 people on board.
