6 Page 2 The Michigan Daily- Tuesday, December 4, 1984 U.S. ev oy toreturnUo idas IN BRIEF WASHINGTON (AP) - Assistant Secretary of State Richard Murphy will return to the Middle East this week to try to break a negotiating logjam over arranging an Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon, U.S. officials said yesterday. One State Department official, who spoke only on condition that he not be identified, said the trip reflects in- creased U.S. involvement in the negotiations, although he stopped short of calling it a mediation effort. Murphy will visit Israel, Lebanon and Syria, and probably also Jordan and Egypt, the official said. He said Mur- phy will stay in the Middle East as long as his presence seems useful and might make other stops in the area. In addition to Lebanon, this official said, Murphy will discuss prospects for general Arab-Israeli peace negotiations, although there are not any indications that the time is right for a new U.S. push on President Reagan's 1982 peace initiative. Murphy spent several weeks in the Middle East last month in what was described as a fact-finding mission on the issue of Israeli troop withdrawal from southern Lebanon. Officials said Murphy concluded that the three major parties in the Lebanon impasse - Israel, Syria, and Lebanon - were too far apart to justify a U.S. mediation effort. But the State Department official said yesterday that Murphy's new trip "portends a bit more active in- volvement than previously on the issue of southern Lebanon." Although Murphy has spent much time in the Middle East, officials said there is no thought of naming him - or anyone else - to succeed Donald Rum- sfeld, who resigned as special Middle East envoy last year after the collapse of the Reagan administration's Lebanon policy. Murphy, 55, is a career foreign ser- vice officer who has served as am- bassador to Mauritania, Syria, the Philippines and, most recently, Saudi Arabia. He became assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs in October 1983. Murphy is returning to the Middle East because "there has been an ex- pression of interest by various parties on U.S. involvement," said the State Department official, who refused to elaborate. "We've said all along we are willing to play a role if they want us to," the of- ficial said. Israeli and Lebanese negotiators have been meeting at the Lebanese border town of Naqoura under the auspices of the United Nations, but are reported to be far apart on the con- ditions for withdrawal of Israeli troops who entered southern Lebanon in 1982.

The party was formed by surviving loyalists of Bishop, the leftist prime minister whose execution by his own army Oct. 19, 1983, prompted the invasion six days later. The Christian Democratic Labor Party of conservative Winston Whyte ran five candidates. Bishop seized power from Gairy in a March 13, 1979, coup that ended the British-style parliamentary government and ruled without elections.

Three more people, including Rep. Parren Mitchell, (D-Md.), and enter- tainer Dick Gregory, were arrested outside the South African Embassy as they deliberately crossed a police year with pay " Continuing education opportunities For more information call or visit: T.

The arrests followed a briefing at the* White House by Assistant Secretary of Sate chester Crocker, who said the United States was applying steady pressure against South Africa to end repression of blacks. Crocker conferred yesterday with President Reagan. "I would say the description of our policy as ineffective is rubbish and I also think there's a considerable lack of information and misunderstanding as to what it is we stand for, what we're trying to achieve," Crocker asserted. Educators evaluate liberal arts (Continued from Page 1) "They tell us that the liberal arts were the most important part of their education and they use it everyday," said John Chandler, president of Scrip- ps College, a four-year liberal arts school in Claremont, Calif. The group stressed that liberal arts offers a broader education that can train students in intangible qualities such as leadership, management and problem solving. Levine cited a study done by American Telephone and Telegraph Co. that found many of its top managers had liberal arts educations. "Liberal arts is the best preparation for the future," said Neal Bert, president of Birmingham-Southern College of Birmingham, Ala. POLICE NOTES Break-ins reported Two wallets valued at ap- proximately $50 were stolen from a residence on the 800 blcok of Packard Nov. 30 at 11:15 p.m., Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Jan Suomala said yesterday. The thief entered the home through an unlocked door. Two residents chased the suspect but were unable to catch him, Suomala said. Another break-in occurred in the 400 block of Benjaman Dec. 2 between 7:30 and 11:00 p.m. The intruder who removed a screen to gain entry, stole a radio valued at approximately $100, Suomala said. -Molly Melby Correction Thomas Holt, director of the University's Center for Afroamerican and African Studies, said the University did not provide Lorch Hall office em- ployees with adequate notice that asbestos was being removed from the building. Holt was misquoted in Satur- day's Daily as saying that he thought the employees working in Lorch were given adequate notice. Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Indian gas fumeskill hundreds NEW DELHI, India-A cloud of poisonous gas spewed from a U.S.-owned pesticide plant and enveloped the sleeping city of Bhopal yesterday, killing at least 350 people and injuring more than 12,000 others in one of the worst industrial accidents in Indian history. The fumes of methyl isocyanate descended on the city about 2:30 a.m., sparking mass panic as sleeping residents jolted awake and fled their homes to escape the blinding, choking gas. The gas escaped from a pesticide plant owned by the Hart, Conn.-based Union CarbidesCo. on the outskirts of Bhopal, 360 miles southwest of New Delhi, the Press Trust of India said. Hamidia government hospital officials said 302 bodies were at the facility. Officials at the Iayaprakash hospital said 27 people there had died, while seven fatalities were counted at Kaju Hospital. "I am shocked and deeply grieved at the terrible tragedy in Bhopal. The huge toll that it has taken is horrifying," said Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Chicago teachers' strike begins CHICAGO-Teachers shut down the nation's third-largest school district in a strike over wages yesterday, while public libraries and day-care centers expanded services for the 430,000 affected students and their parents. "We're going to win," Jacqueline Vaughn, president of the 28,000-member Chicago Teachers Union, told 150 shivering pickets who marched outside a West Side high school in the 25-degree cold. The union presidentsaid she hoped there would be progress during negotiations late yesterday. "I expect (we'll) be back in the classroom very soon because we have assurances... there will be serious negotiations," Vaughn said. "We have no intention of being out until January." Bargaining with the assistance of a mediator broke off early Sunday, after the board made an offer satisfying one of the union's principal demands but leaving the issue of a salary increase up in the air and requiring some union concessions, totaling about $6 million. O'Nein keeps House leadership WASHINGTON-Thomas O'Neill, the highest-ranking Democrat in national government, won his party's unanimous nomination to a final two- year term as House speakeF yesterday after conservatives, led by Rep. Charles Stenholm, abandoned a symbolic challenge. O'Neill, 71, who has said he will retire in 1986, was selected for a fifth leadership team at a closed caucus of all 253 House Democrats. The action cleared the way for what was expected to be a straight party-line vote for O'Neill when the 99th Congress convenes on Jan. 3. Stenholm said he dropped his challenge upon concluding that running against the powerful Massachusetts Democrat "could very well have become a destructive situation than a constructive one." He said lack of wide support from colleagues and O'Neill's promises that conservatives would be given a much stronger voice in House decisions prompted his decision to drop out. "When a team is losing, the coach gets the blame," Stenholm, of Texas, told reporters. "But it became apparent that we are unable to change the coach. If you can't change the coach, you change the game plan... We are going to work within the Democratic Party." NATO.to boost conventional arms BRUSSELS, Belgium-NATO defense ministers yesterday began three days of talks at which they are expected to boost conventional defense spen- ding-an area which officials said has been shortchanged in recent years as attention focused exclusively on nuclear arms in Europe. The meeting at NATO headquarters began with a gathering of am- bassadors of the European NATO nations presided over by British Defense Secretary Michael Heseltine. Later, the European defense ministers dined together and will convene again this morning, after which they will be joined by U.S. Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and Robert Coates, the Can- adian defense minister. The 14 NATO ministers-France and Iceland are not part of NATO's military command-are expected to approve spending $7.8 billion through 1991 on equipment and facilities for U.S. reinforcement troops in case of war in Europe. Separately, the 12 European ministers are expected to issue a statement today underscoring Europe's contribution to the allied defense effort. NATO officials have expressed concern about growing criticism in the U.S. Congress that the Europeans do not pull their fair share in NATO. Iraqi warplane attacks tanker MANAMA, Bahrain-An Iraqi warplane fired a rocket into the Cypriot supertanker Minotaur in the Persian Gulf yesterday, blasting the engine room and setting the vessel ablaze, marine salvage executives said. The Minotaur had been en route to Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal to pick up a load of crude, the executives said. Thee of the 27 crew members aboard the 386,000-ton tanker were reported missing and presumed dead, officials said. An Iraqi military spokesman in Baghdad confirmed that Iraqi jet fighters hit a "large naval target" but he gave no details. The attack was the first on a tanker in the gulf in six weeks. The Iraqis have defined a 50-mile radius around Kharg as an "exclusion zone of war operations" and warned that vessels entering it would risk at- tacks by Iraqi warplanes and naval units. 0 .. 0 ., 01 I0P S I Vol. XCV -No.73 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Tuesday through Sunday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.
