(AP) - The leader of a survivalist group and four members of a neo-Nazi sect surrendered without a struggle yester- day, ending a three-day standoff with heavily armed and camouflaged authorities who hadasurrounded a camp in the Ozarks. James Ellison, 44, leader of the Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord, and four members of The Order, a white supremacist group, were taken to the Baxter County Jail, Tom Hill, a spokesman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, said in Washington. STATE AND federal lawmen con- verged on the camp Friday afternoon with a warrant for Ellison and began negotiating for his surrender. The warrant charged Ellison with directing the conversion of guns to automatic .1 'A weapon such as this has no sporting use whatsoever and I would think very limited target use.' - FBI agent Ray McElhaney ATF AGENT Jack Killoran displayed a .380-caliber machine gune he identified as a MAC11-Al, an automatic weapon capable of a firing rate of 1,000rounds a minute that was found in the search Sunday. He said it was nearly identical to one used to shoot a Missouri state trooper last week. The only difference, he said, was that the barrel of the one found at the camp was threaded for a silencer. "This weapon is illegal on its face," he said. "A weapon such as this has no spor- ting use whatsoever and I would think very limited target use," McElhaney said. Killoran said the gun was similar to one used to shoot Denver talk how host Alan Berg June 18. The Order has been linked to the slaying in a federal indic- tment from Seattle. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Supreme Court will decide Ow: racial qualifications for jurorS WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court said yesterday it will decide whether prosecutors may disqualify any potential juror from a criminal : trial because of the juror's race. The justices will use a case from the Louisville. Kv.. area to decide: whether defendents are denied fair trials which prosecutors use such tactics The decision, expected sometime next year, could curtail the broad' power prosecutors traditionally have possessed to strike prospective jurors . from trials by using so-called "peremptory challenges." The case challenges racially motivated juror exclusions made byg prosecutors only, but the court's eventual decision conceivably could discuss' as well such exclusions made by defense lawyers. The case centers on the use of peremptory challenges, generally given to both the defense and prosescution lawyers in criminal cases. They are per-> mitted to exclude a limited number of individuals from the jury without. giving a reason. Brazil selects new president weapons at the white supremacist group's 224-acre encampment. At a news conference after the 10:30 a.m. arrests, FBI agent Ray McElhaney said the operation was a success because lawmen were able to avoid violent confrontation. Authorities had moved cautiously in their search out of fear the group might have plan- ted landmines, but McElhaney said they found no booby traps. Earlier yesterday, federal authorities said items found in a search of a cluster of buildings away from the main compound of the encampment, near the Arkansas-Missouri border, link the group driectly to The Order, a radical splinter group of the white supremacist Aryan Nations, based in Idaho. u Student volunteers assist in patient care (Continued from Page 1) anesthesia wears off and wheeling them back to their regular rooms. "Many patients like to talk when they wake up from surgery and the volun- teers are there to talk with them and help pass the time," says Cora Horgrow, a nurse's aide in the recovery room. One such patient is 76-year-old Harold Polasky, who has been in the hospital since Thanksgiving for a series of skin grafts on his leg. While confined to a hospital bed for four months, Georgetown Universty *Api. . Summer Sessions -° I i ;;, 14 ;; p ' ___1985 Polasky says he has been cheered up by six different student volunteers. He says he keeps his eyes on the hallway, watching for the volunteer to pass by. "EVERYTIME I see her, I call her and she comes over and talks to me," Polasky says, rattling on about his surgery to a reporter and to other visitors who drop in. Volunteers, he ad- ds, "make me feel like I'm at home." But the work volunteers do isn't always quite so pleasant, as cheering up patients like Polasky. William Spangler, coordinator for patient relations at the Main Hospital, says he occasionally has to counsel volunteers who are troubled by some of the disturbing realities of hospital work such as cancer patients whose hair has fallen out or victims of car accidents who are brought in with mangled limbs. "MOST OF (the volunteers) don't have previous experience in a hospital and it can be very unsettling to see some of the things that happen in a hospital. It can be quite an awakening," Spangler says. But Griffin adds that it is rare that a volunteer leaves in the middle of the program because of upsetting ex- periences or for any other reason. LSA senior Lori Lewis says she probably learned the most from the crises she has had to deal with while working at Mott. During her tenure in the infant ward she witnessed the deaths of four or five children to whom she had grown attached. She says the deaths disturbed her a great deal as did seeing the parents' pain. "It's heart-breaking to see parents torn apart when anchild's cancer goes out of remission and is active again," she says. But looking back on those traumas, she says she learned how to handle situations physicians are forced to face every day-lessons that cannot be taught in the classroom. "I've learned more in my two years working at Mott than I did my whole time in school," she says, "It's really practical learning." Editor's note: There will be an in- formational meeting for students in- terested in volunteering during the summer on May 9th at the Main Hospital. For more information, call 763-6710. BRASILIA, Brazil -Jose Sarney became president yesterday and said he would carry out the plans of Tancredo Neves, the veteran politician who died before he could take office as Brazil's first civilian president in 21 years. Neves died in a Sao Paulo hospital Sunday at age 75 after a series of operations that began hours before he was to be sworn in March 15. His body was brought to the capital yesterday, carried through thousands of mour- ners who chanted his name as the coffin passed. Congress met in special session earlier yesterday and declared the presidency vacant, allowing Vice President Sarney, 54, to become chief of state of Latin America's largest nation. Neves was a master of Brazilian politics and held offices ranging from city councilman to prime minister in a half-century career. The new civilian government that he was to have led ended a generation of military rule that began with a coup in 1964. Sarney spoke on radio and television early yesterday and promised to fight inflation, hunger, violence, and unemployment - all pressing problems in Brazil, whose foreign debt of more than $100 billion is the highest in the developing world. Israeli navy sinks PLO ship TEL AVIV, Israel - An Israeli missile boat sank a shipload of Palestinian conmandos in a battle on the high seas, killing the captain and 20 guerrillas on a terrorist mission to wreck Israeli Independence Day, officials said yesterday. Eight guerrillas who survived the battle Saturday night were captured, the Israeli military said. Adm. Abraham Ben-Shoshan, the Israeli Navy commander, said an of- ficial announcement of the encounter about 100 miles off the coast of Israel had been delayed because the captives were being questioned Sunday. "This mission was to come, to hit the shore of Israel and to kill as many, people as they could," Ben-Shoshan told a news conference in Tel Aviv. The navy chief said the commandos were members of Fatah, the most prominent of the eight groups that make up the Palestine Liberation Organization led by guerrilla chief Yasser Arafat.

The suit is currently in limbo, accor- ding to University attorney Roderick Daane. Both the University and the state have given their arguments and are awaiting the decision of Ingham County Court Judge Caroline Steil. Steil was unavailable for comment. Georetow (n t rsity isan equa/opportunity/affirmatitr action insitution in emp/oymentand admissions. . investments Though there have been few protests at the University of Michigan since the divestment in 1982, Prof. Leonard Suransky, the director of the Project Outreach Program, said the concern over apartheid has not faded. THE DEMONSTRATIONS were the "most visible and sometimes inap- propriate type of demonstrations," Suransky said. He said the sale of bracelets engraved with the names of South African political prisoners is doing more for solidarity than anything else in the past few years. "I DON'T think there's anyone in- volved in the protest who doesn't want the total divestment of South African related stocks by the University," said Suransky who was coordinator of the University's committee on Southern Africa in 1983, "but the issue of total divestment is in the courts now." Kraus said so far seven speakers have signed up: Ann Arbor Mayor Ed Pierce, councilman Larry Hunter (D- First Ward), University professors Suransky and Bunyan Bryant, State- Representative Perry Bullard (D-Ann Arbor), MSA President Paul Josephson, and graduate student Bar- bara Ransby. Ransby, currently studying at the University, was a leader in the Columbia movement as an un- dergraduate last year. MSA is expected to vote tonight on whether to support and fund the protest, Kraus said. SIDON, Lebanon - Rebel Christian gunmen yesterday declared a unilateral cease-fire to halt a bloody monthlong artillery battle with Moslem militiamen, but police said a baby was killed and 33 civilians were wounded before the fighting died down. Christian rebel chief Samir Geagea, in a news conference in Beirut, an- nounced that his men would stop firing on the southern port of Sidon from their positions in hillside villages to the east of the city. He also said his troops would begin withdrawing today from Sidon, 24 miles south of Beirut. "We will meticulously abide by the cease-fire to give peace a chance," Geagea told reporters. "We will also withdraw those of our forces which had been sent to the region as reinforcements, but the local armed villagers will stay and defend their lands and homes." Junta trial begins in Argentina BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - Nine of Argentina's former military rulers went on trial yesterday charged with kidnapping, torturing, and killing thousands of people during the "dirty war" against leftists in the 1970s. Hundreds of federal police surrounded the court building. The day before the trial began, elected President Raul Alfonsin plotters had urged the army to overthrow his civilian government. Alfonsin was elected in 1983, ending nearly eight years of military rule. Police blocked off streets around the Federal Criminal Court of Appeals and officers with automatic weapons patrolled the area. A police com- munique said the security measures would be maintained around the clock until the end of the trial, which is expected to take at least three months. Human rights groups and leftist political parties said they expected 50,000 people to attend a march and rally they planned outside the Congress building a few blocks from the court in downtown Buenos Aires. 4 0* t R A t i 4 i t P 'U' student wins car for a year (Continued from Page 1) Marvel praised the competition for its fairness. "Anything we could think of to make it more fair they had already done," he said. At no time during their stay in Daytona were the contestants or the press served alcoholic beverages, he said. "From the bad situations I've gotten out of I learned and I don't believe in mixing the two," Marvel stressed. "I may be wild at times but I want all my reflexes." Marvel recommends the com- petitions, saying that everyone should do some racing because it teaches people the concepts of car control.
