Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 10, 1985 Palestinian youths attacking West Bank Ismelis a0 TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) - Palestinian Arab teen-agers, born un der Israeli occupation, are carrying out attacks on Israelis in a new effort to drive Israel from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The striking thing about the series' of attacks is that they are not stone- throwing demonstrations by bands of youths, but attacks on individual Jews by young mefi using guns, knives or: 'bombs. AND FOR the first time, some ex- perts say, the youths are acting in- dependently of the Palestine. Iiberation Organization. Those experts contend the youths have been emboldened by Israel's withdrawal from south Lebanon un- der attack by Shiite Moslems, and its release of 1,150 Arabs, including some convicted guerrillas, in exchange for three captured Israeli soldiers. At least seven Israelis have been killed since May in shootings and stab bings, while about a dozen people have been injured by bombs. ISRAELI leaders have accused the PLO operating in Jordan of en- couraging the attacks and instructing youths. But analysts say the PLO is not supplying weapons or men to carry out the assaults. "This is the first time that the initiative is being taken in so many cases by local youths acting on their own," said Tamar Prat, a specialist on the PLO at Tel Aviv University's Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies. "In the past, the PLO sent people in- to the territories to recruit and train new guerrillas," Prat told The Associated Press. "Now the people being caught have no links to terrorist organizations." PLO chairman Yasser Arafat "is not sending arms or terrorists into the West Bank because he would be in trouble with Jordan's King Hussein," said Prat. Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin, speaking on Israel radio, said half the recent terror attacks were not plan- ned or organized by terrorist groups but instead were carried out by in- dividuals or local groups "acting on a hatred toward Israel and Jews." But, he added, the PLO was influen- cing the youths. "In Amman, they (PLO officials) can meet per day 10 times more Palestinians who reside in the West Bank of Gaza Strip than they could in one month in Beirut or Damascus,' Rabin said. ISRAEL has warned Hussein to keep PLO officials in check. "But the most important factor in the increase in attacks is a new spirit in the West Bank," Prat said. "There's a new generation, a generation born in the period of the 1967 Six-Day War," when Israel cap- tured the West Bank and Gaza. Frye forms committee to combat end of baby boom IN BRIEF FROM UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL Troops crush Thai coup BANGKOK, Thailand - Loyalist troops crushed a coup attempt yesterday by 400 to 500 soldiers led by former top military men. Prime Minister Prem Tinsulandona, who had been out of the country, returned hours after the tank-led rebel insurrection and pleaded for unity. Four people were reported killed and 59 wounded in the nine hours of fighting. The acting army chief said three alleged coup leaders had been arrested. Among the dead were NBC News Bangkok bureau chief Neil Davis and his soundman, Bill Latch. The two men were shot in front of the army compound as rebel-operated M-41 and M-48 tanks opened fire on the army radio station. At 6 a.m. rebel soldiers seized the official Radio Thailand and gover- nment television Channel Nine. The rebels, calling themselves the "Revolutionary Party," announced they had seized power and had dissolved the Parliament and Cabinet. The rebels, with machine guns and 22 tanks, stormed the army radio station at 9:55 a.m., but gave up five hours later when the government threatened to move in and crush them. AIDS spurs school boycotts NEW YORK - More than a quarter of the children in two Queens districts did not show up for the first day of school yesterday as parents protested the city's decision to let a second-grader with AIDS attend the public school. The identity of the child and the child's school was not disclosed. Some demonstrating parents said their children would stay home until they found out just which school the child with the incurable disease was at- tending. AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, is an often fatal af- fliction in which the body's immune system becomes unable to resist disease. It is most likely to strike homosexuals, abusers of injectable drugs and hemophiliacs and can apparently be spread by sexual contact, contaminated needles and blood transfusions, but not by casual contact. Some children have been born with the disease because their mothers carried the virus. Mayor Edward I. Koch, after visiting a Queens school, said none of the children he saw were talking about AIDS, and he said parents were only scaring them by making a to-do over the issue. The unknown second grader was let into the schools described as having completed nursery school, kindergarten and first grade since being diagnosed with a condition associated with AIDS.: (Continued from Page i) University's primary recruiting grounds. Those predictions concern Univer-. , sity officials, even though the actual number of applicants to the Univer- sity has risen in recent years. Ad- ministrators say the pool appears larger only because high school graduates today apply on average to more colleges than they did a decade ago. ROBERT Holmes, assistant vice president for academic affairs, noted that the study "had definitely been in the back of everybody's minds." In his charge to the panel, Frye wrote: "With a diminishing pool of PART TIME EMPLOYMENT - NIGHTS The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts is interview- ing students interested in working for a fundraising phonathon calling LS&A alumni across the country. The phonathon runs five nights per week, Sunday through Thursday, September 29 through November 21. You work two of the five nights available each week with some opportunity to work addition- al nights.

Jack Walker, a political science professor who worked on the ISR study, said "secondary schools have had to deal with this problem already and it has resulted in many schools closing. Now we have to deal with the problem." WALKER and Political Science Prof. John Chamberlain are the only two appointments made to the com- mittee so far. Chamberlain noted that the panel will consider several strategies. For instance, the panel will discuss whether the University should in- crease the percentage of out-of-state students it admits every year if ap- plications from in-state students fall, short of goals, reduce student enroll- ment, or lower admissions standards. Chamberlain pointed out, however, that each of those options has pitfalls. Downsizing student enrollment means revenue from tuition will drop, requiring cutbacks in University ex- penses. Raising the out-of-state student population is politically un- wise for a university supported by state tax payers, he added, while University officials are opposed to lowering admissions standards. Improving the University's recruiting strategies is another issue the panel will study, Chamberlain said, though he added that efforts to beef up minority recruitment and financial aid incentives are already underway in other University offices. "(Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs) Niara Sudarkasa's office is already taking on a major in- tiative to increase minority enrollment," Chamberlain said. "While we'll deal some with the question, I don't picture us serving as a watchdog over their efforts." Forum explores '13' computers (Continued from Page 1) student use. Presently, the University has about 225 terminals scattered around cam- pus. By 1988, Van Houweling said that number should increase to around 2,000, or one terminal for every 15 students. He also said that sales of computers 'and computer software will be expan- ded. The University has sold Macin- tosh and Zenith computers to studen- ts, faculty, and staff for over a year now at substantially discounted prices. THE LINE OF discount computers being sold now includes IBM personal computers, which went on sale almost two weeks ago. Prices for the IBM models range from $1,093 to $4,471. Also at the forum was Henry John- son, the University's vice president for student services. Johnson said that the University aims to have 60 workstations in seven residence halls by the end of this term, and 150 ter- minals in those dorms by the end of the year. Such a rapid proliferation of ter- minals is expensive, Johnson pointed out. The residence hall program will cost around $200,000 to implement, with another $50-60,000 in operating costs. . STUDENTS at the forum raised concerns about the costs of these new programs, in particular about the fees that probably will be assessed to every student starting next term. Although only engineering and business student now pay fees to finance computer systems, the regen- ts are expected to approve plans to assess all other students for the im- provements at this month's meeting. WOMEN'S FIELD HOCKEY CLUB Sundays, 1:00 p.m. Huron High School Contact - Leslie Fry - 769-4289 Sun Belt states to gain bulk 4 6 i of nation's population growth WASHINGTON - Five Sun Belt states will account for more than half of the nation's population growth through the year 2000, but Midwestern states that had been looking at declines may not lose people after all, a orivate research group said yesterday. The National Planning Association projected that California will con- tinue to be the nation's biggest populationgainer, adding 6,668,000 people between the 1980 Census and 2000. In fact, nearly 80 percent of the nation's population gain in the coming years is expected to be in the South and West as Americans migrate in search of jobs. But while the planning association projected relatively little growth for other parts of the nation, it foresaw population declines in only three places - New York, the District .of Columbia, and West Virginia. That is good news for several Northeastern and Midwestern states that have lost population in recent years and had been expected by some population experts to continue to decline. In the Northeast, for example, the planning association projected that Massachusetts would be the biggest gainer, adding 560,000 people. Michigan was expected to lead the Midwest, adding 549,000. In its most recent projections, issued two years ago, the Census Bureau forecast that Massachusetts would lose 246,600 people between 1980 and 2000, and Michigan would drop 50,700. Young may romp in primary DETROIT - Today's primary election is expected to be a romp for Mayor Coleman Young, with election-eve polls predicting he could pick up as much as 65 percent of the vote in a 12-way race. Although Young, 67, is a sure bet for a record fourth, four-year term, he campaigned like an underdog in the nonpartisan primary, spending $500,000 in the first eight months of 1985 alone. Since he was elected Detroit's first black mayor in 1973, Young has had no problem getting re-selected and remains enormously popular with the city's growing black majority. Young's most visible challenger is Tom Barrow, the 36-year-old president of Michigan's largest minority-owned accounting firm and nephew of boxing legend Joe Louis. Night Stalker again delays entering pleas to charges LOS ANGELES - Accused Night Stalker Richard Ramirez, appearing more relaxed than at his last court appearance, yesterday again delayed entering pleas to charges of murder, rape, and robbery. Amid extremely tight security that included an electronic scanning of all court watchers, the prime suspect in the Stalker's string of 20 slayings entered the packed courtroom bound in heavy chains. Outside court, both the prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Phil Halpin, and Ramirez's attorney, Deputy Public Defender Allen Adashek, said they anticipate more charges will be filed, although neither would comment specifically. 0J he lifhtp!an BuaiIu Vol XCVI - No. 4 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Monday through Friday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.
