JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(AP) - Six opposition leaders sought
by security police took refuge in the
British consulate in Durban yesterday
and asked the British to intervene on
their behalf. Officials denied the
"request but did not force them to leave.
Police, meanwhile, said they fatally
shot a man who threw a gasoline bomb
at a police bus in the black ghetto of
Soweto near Johannesburg. He was the
41st person killed in rioting against the
white-minority government since Aug.
.31.
"THE PERSON WHO threw the
bomb was shot. He died on the way to
the hospital," said police Lt. Hein
Lourens.
Near downtown Durban a bomb shat-
tered an electrical substation, but
police and witnesses said there were no
casualties. Guerrillas fighting white-
minority rule in South Africa have been
blamed for a series of similar bom-
bings.
The six opposition leaders walked in-
to the consulate at mid-morning and
asked the British government to act as
intermediary with the security police,
according to John Hedley, a spokesman
for the British Embassy in Durban.
HEDLEY SAID Britain has "no legal
status in the matter," and refused to in-
tervene. He said Consul Simon Davey
allowed the six to stay in the 7th-floor
consulate offices through the day, and
after the close of business at 4:30 p.m.
By nightfall they were still in the
building and the British officials were
not forcing them out, Hedley said.
Farook Neer, a spokesman for the
six, denounced Britain for not agreeing
to take up the politicians' case.
Regents to relocate,
(Continued from Page 1)
taken on the code during the summer
while students were away or before Oc-
.ober. Next month has become the
target date for regental action among
student activists and leaders and ad-
:rinistrators.
While University officials would not
confirm that the code will be on the Oc-
tober regent's agenda, several said the
regents would probably wait until they
were in town to discuss the issue. The
regents will hold the second day of their
two-day meeting in Ann Arbor on Oct.
19.
"(The regents) wouldn't take (the
code) up in Dearborn. It's too impor-
tant," said Richard Kennedy, vice
president for state relations and
secretary of the University.
"I haven't been a party to any con-
versations of when it will be
discussed," Kennedy said.
Affirmative Action Director Virginia
Nordby said "no decision has been
made on when the code will be
discussed as far as I know."

Budget amendment
reaches deadli~ne
Hurricane dumps more rain;
WILMINGTON, N.C. - Hurricane Diana stood astride the North Carolia
coast like a savage colossus yesterday, hammering it with hurricane-fore
winds and torrential rains for more than half a day:
"We are hurt and we are hurt bad," said Police Chief Bill Coring at So th-
port near Cape Fear, where the storm crashed ashore with 115 mph winds at
1:10 a.m. EDT.
Flooded roads cut off several coast towns, including Southport, and resci
helicopters were unable to get into the air because of the winds which raged
at 75 mph through midday. Damage estimates from just three beach towns
totaled $20 million, indicating the total figure would be in the hundreds of
millions.
Winds began to subside lightly as the huge storm moved slowed inland, but
there was no letup in the blinding rain. "We are~goig to have great damag
from flooding," said Gov. Jim Hunt after a tour of Wilmington. "We expect
10 to15 inches of rain on top of the 101 we had already."
Mondale faces hostile students
TUPPLO, Miss. (AP) - Walter F. Mondale, encountering hostility in,
southern territory friendly to Ronald Reagan, said yesterday that the.
president's cuts in health care for the elderly amounted to "official cruelty.
Mondale also toughened his rhetoric against Reagan, this time attackig
the administration's proposed cuts on Social Security and Medicare. If
Reagan is re-elected, Mondale warned, "he is going to savage Social
Security."
The former vice president spoke to several hundred students and residents
of Tupelo in a swelting auditorium in Topelo High School, where he was
frequently interrupted by boos and shouts of pro-Reagan sentiments from
about 200 young people in the crowd.
Many of the hecklers arrived in a group from Lakeview Baptist School,
Midway though Mondale's speech, on signal from a teacher named Bob
McHouston, they began leaving the gymnasium to assemble outside near the
door through which Mondale would leave.
There they confronted pro-Mondale students, many of whom were black,.
Shouts of "nigger go home" were heard as students in both groups pushed
and shoved, each otherand some signs were torn up. Among signs they
carried was one which said, "Southerners for Reagan."
Pope preaches economic ideas
MONOTON, New Brunswick - Pope John Paul II is traveling throulgl
Canada's economically depressed Maritime provinces calling on the
capitalist West to show less concern about making money andmore for the,
needs of people.
He gave his firm support to the Canadian bishops' call for governments to
make jobs their top priority. And his words come as American bishops aire
preparing their own economic statement.
The pope's speeches amount to a slashing indictment of aspects of the
capitalist system, as he urges governments to re-order their economic
priorities "so that human needs be put before mere financial gain."
"The social doctrine of the church requires us to emphasize the primacy of
the human person in the productive process, the primacy of people o6vr
things," the pontiff told Newfoundland's cod fishermen Wednesday.
The pope's economic ideas are the outgrowth of long-standing church
positions calling for a review of the international economic system and in-
ternational trade agreements.
All-woman Philippine riot squad
disperse 500 women protesters
MANILA, Philippines - The military's all-women riot squad dispersed 500
women demonstators near the presidentail palace yesterday by flashing
peace signs, shaking hands and chanting "peace, peace."
It may have been the most blatant government response to a demon-
stration in memory and ended with the women police waving goodbye to the
protesters and inviting them to come again.
Still, Manila Police Chief Gen. Narciso Cabrera, the officer in charge, was
prepared for any break in decorum. Several yards behind the officers were
men with shields and truncheons.
The demonstration against the construction of a nuclear power plant was
the first ever handled by the female police, formed by the Marcos gover-
nment and trained in cajolery to deal with ever-increasing numbers of
women protesters.
The women riot police stood smiling face-to-face with the women demon-
strators, blocking their way across a bridge to the palace of President Fer-
dinand Marcos.
Israeli head seeks endorsement
JERUSALEM - Prime Minister-designate Shimon Peres asked the
Israeli Parliment yesterday to endorse a national unity Cabinet, to give him
authority to deal with the country's urgent challenges and to negotiate peace ;
with the Arabs.
Backed by one of the largest coalitions in Israel's history, Peres was
assured of winning a vote of confidence last night.
Peres went before Parliament hours after he signed an agreement with
outgoing Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir to set up a bipartisan government.
The pact ended seven weeks of bairgaining between Peres' Labor Parity
and Shamir's Likud bloc over setting up a new government. Neither major
party emerged from the July 23 election ith enough seats in the 120-
member Parliment to form a government.
But the unprecedented power-sharing arrangement with the rival Likid
bloc, in what Peres himself called "a government of disagreement," ap-
peared to doom his 25-member Cabinet to endless arguments and to rule out
Sany bold foreign policy initiatives.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Congressional supporters of a con-
stitutional amendment to require a
balanced budget mounted last-ditch ef-
forts in both chambers yesterday to
force the issue to a vote before adjour-
nment.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
voted for the amendment, as House
supporters scrambled to collect 218
signatures by the end of the day, the
deadline for forcing a vote on the issue
without action by the House Judiciary
Committee.
BY YESTERDAY morning, House
supporters had collected about 90
signatures on their discharge petition,
according to an aide to Rep. Larry
Craig, R-Idaho, head of the petition
drive.
The current Congress is scheduled to
end Oct. 5.
The identical measures would
require Congress to adopt a balanced
budget resolution every year - begin-
ning this decade - except in time of
war or if three-fifths of both House and
Senate voted to approve a deficit.

"I'm starting to get a little cold,"
confessed Sanjit Jayakar, an LSA
junior.
Further down the sidewalk LSA
sophomore Lorin Rosen and LSA
freshman Vicky Sternberg had engaged
in several activities.
"WE PLAYED Monopoly because
Trivial Pursuit is cliche," said Ster-
nberg. "Then we played Old Maid, Sit,
and Go Fish to prove you don't grow up
in college."
A few dedicated students were
working on their homework.
"I've got my music, homework,
cheese crackers, what else do I need?"
said LSA junior Dave Ascher, while
Cindi Hardian discussed Freudian
psychology with engineering students
Bob Mara, Keith Haxey, and Fredd
Bonner.
MEANWHILE, THE Cesna 152
narrowly missed clipping lamppost as
they turned the corner onto South
University.
The team maneuvered the plane onto
North University and between the
Chemistry and Natural Sciences
Buildings - over the curb, past the
greenhouse, through the grass...to one
last obstacle - a University garbage
can.
It took three of them to spin the
cement waste container from their
path, but finally their quarry was
gained, the bird reached its sidewalk
nest at 5:05 a.m.
Why would four people crawl out of
bed to drive an airplane at 4 a.m.? For
Festifall 84, a fair featuring booths of
100 University clubs and organizations
publicizing their activities.
The University's Flying Club will
have a booth near the plane for anyone
interested in joining and learning how
to "fly" planes down city streets.

"THERE HAVE BEEN no cases sin-
ce the '60s...even then we didn't remove
the books," she said.
The Niles Community in Niles has not
always been as trouble-free. In 1982, the
Moral Majority and Life Action, a
religion-based group, requested that A
View from Another Closet by Janet
Bode and other books dealing with
homosexuality be banned from the
library. The books, they claimed, were
a corrupting influence on young people.
"A lot of pressure was put on (the
library)," said Anne Freese of the Niles
Community Library.
INCLUDED IN the pressure
tactics were letters written by
U.S. Congressional Represen-
tative Guy Siljander (R-Three Rivers)
that favored the ban.
Said Freese, "Our Board of Directors
refused to remove any books on
homosexuality. We have a book selec-
tion policy...the field of intelligentsia
has to be kept open for any inquiring
mind."
