said.
"We aren't holding the University
responsible for acts of Congress, but we
do hold them responsible for main-

agreed upon," she added.
University officials said before GEO
announced their plans that it was
unlikely the contract would be

relations. "That could occur to any of
us in a bargaining situation. I don't see
how you can go back to your employer
and ask for more."
Gamble says the University has been
in contact with legislators in an attem-
pt to solve the problem. "Our concerns
are being well-heard," he said.
GEO members argue that it could be
quite a while before legislation
abolishing the tax will be considered by
Congress.
According to Judy Conrad, an aide
for Michigan Republican Congressman
Carl Pursell, the bill is slated to go
before the HousemWays and Means
Committee sometime in early March.
e Conrad says she does not know when
the legislation will reach Congress.

U.S. defends Beirut shelling;
Syrian commander killed
USE DAILY CLASSIFIEDS
(Continued from Page 1)
Beirut came under sustained bombard-
ment, apparently from artillerymen in
Syrian-occupied Druse areas.
U.S. NAVY gunfire on Wednesday
killed the commanding general of
Syrian forces in Lebanon and a large
part of his general staff, ABC News
reported yesterday.
The report on ABC's World News;
Tonight, attributed to U.S. and Israeli;
intelligence sources, said the Syrian
headquarters was in Hammana, 15
miles east of Beirut. The general was
not named.
Top administration officials yester-
day defended U.S. bombardment of
hostile positions near Beirut and said
the United States is not abandoning
Lebanon but merely moving its troops
"2 to 3 miles to the west."
Defense Secretary Caspar Wein-
berger said Wednesday's massive
naval shelling of Syrian-controlled
positions in Lebanon was launched in
part to demonstrate an unwavering
U.S. commitment
In California with Reagan yesterday,
White House spokesman Larry Speakes
insisted that the latest naval gunfire
still is in defense of U.S. troops, con-
sistent with the War Powers Resolution
authorizing the Marine presence in
Lebanon - and not in direct support of
the embattled Lebanese government of
Christian leader Amin Gemayel.
Speakes said the United States is
justified in attacking Moslem gun
positions outside Beirut because "these
weapons are capable of hitting the air-
port and the Marines at the airport."

The Most Sophisticated Training Ground
For Nuclear Engineering
Isn't On The Ground.
It's on a Navy ship.
The Navy has
more than 1,900
reactor-years of nuclear
power experience -
more than anyone else
in America. The Navy
has the most sophisti-

in the Navy, as your
knowledge grows, so do
your responsibilities.
Today's Nuclear
Navy is one of the most
challenging and reward-
ing career choices a
man can make. And
that choice can pay off
the Navy operates over half of the nuclear
reactors in America.
With a nuclear program like that, you
know the Navy also offers the most compre-
hensive and sophisticated nuclear training.
Every officer in the Nuclear Navy
completes a full year of graduate level
technical training. Outside the Navy, this
kind of program would cost you thousands.
In the Navy, you're paid while you learn.
Then, as a nuclear-trained officer, you
while you're still in school. Qualified
juniors and seniors earn approximately
$1,000 per month while they finish school.
As a nuclear-trained officer, after 4
years with regular promotions and pay
increases, you can be earning as much as
$40,500. That's on top of a full benefits pack-
age that includes medical and dental care,
and 30 days' vacation earned each year.
As a nuclear-trained officer, you also
earn a place among this nation's most
qualified and respected professionals. So,
