PORT SAID, Egypt (AP) - Palestinian hijackers of an Italian cruise ship surrendered yesterday, ending two days of terror for 511 hostages. Italy's prime minister said an American was killed and thrown overboard.. He identified the dead passenger as Leon Klinghoffer, of New York City, who was traveling with his wife Marilyn. "UNFORTUNATELY I have to give you mournful news," Prime Minister Bettino Craxi told a news conference in Rome. "In the course of this aggression, an American citizen was killed. The captain of the ship told me this a few moments ago, when I spoke with him." "He (the passenger) was apparen- tly killed and thrown into the sea," Craxi said. The Foreign Ministry said the terrorists surrendered to represen- tatives of the PLO, and the Italian Foreign Ministry, citing a radio message from the ship's master, said the hijackers were taken to the Port Said Naval Base. ESMAT ABDEL-MEGUID, the Egyptian foreign minister, indicated the hijackers would be given safe conduct out of the country. "The hijackers, who number four, will leave Egypt," he said. "The ship will go to Port Said harbor. There were no demands." He did not say where the hijackers would go from Egypt. The pirates demanded the release of 50 Palestinians imprisoned in Israel after they took over the liner Monday night off Port Said, heavily armed with guns and explosives. They threatened at various times during the two-day voyage to the Syrian coast and back to kill the people aboard and blow up the ship. YESTERDAY in Washington, Reagan's spokesman said the United States "will do everything possible to see that those responsible" for hijacking the Italian cruise ship are brought to justice, regardless of the arrangements Egypt made to gain release of the ship, its passengers, and crew. "We believe those responsible should be prosecuted to the maximum extent possible," White House spokesman Larry Speakes said shor- tly after the Egyptian government announced the four Palestinian hijackers had left the ship. Confronted with conflicting reports about. the welfare of Americans aboard the ship, President Reagan dispot.' ched his Egyptian ambassador yesterday to inspect the vessel to determine whether one or more of the U.S. citizens aboard had been killed. SEEKING to divorce the ad- ministration from a reported deal to give the hijackers safe passage out of Egypt, Speakes said, "The decision on how to resolve the crisis was one made by the Egyptian government." The Israeli government announced that it is pleased that the hijack ended "without our involvement," a military spokesman, said yesterday from Jerusalem. The hijackers claimed to belong to the Palestine Liberation Front, a fac- tion of the PLO. The Palestine Liberation Organization has denied involvement in the piracy, but Israel says it is skeptical. About 100 reporters and spectators watched as an Egyptian warship that had carried PLO, Egyptian, ItaliaO and Red Cross officials out to the liner about an hour earlier returned to the Port Said naval base carrying thO hijackers. One of the Palestinians waved to the crowd. Greeks may establish court By STEPHEN GREGORY A new judicial committee which would discipline Greek system mem- bers for commiting criminal acts and oversee all fraternity social activities could be formed tonight if In- trafraternity Council members give it their approval. Greek members who commit criminal acts would not only be Ipunished by local authorities but by the review panel. So far, no range of punishments has been decided. The original idea was divised by Anne Morgan, vice president of the Panhellenic Organization. SHE FIRST develops the review procedures for sororities because sororities wanted to curb over- participation in fraternity functions. The idea of a review board was also set up to keep fraternity men from asking sorority women to participate in activities women viewed as degrading, such as kissing boothes, Morgan said. BUT SHE said University pressure also played a role in the establishment of her guidelines. "We were getting some pressure from the University to either gpt con- trol (of the Greek system) or relinquish it," she said. "GARP will have a two-fold pur- pose - first, as a pro-activities group which will provide quality event plan- ning and second, a judiciary function if the responsibilities of Greek mem- bership are not upheld (by both fraternities and sororities)." IN ADDITION TO punishing Greek members who break the law, the panel will also handle disputes bet- ween fraternities, sororities, and non- Greeks. Lutes cited a fraternity that serenades an unappreciative sorority at 3 a.m. as an example of failure to uphold Greek responsibilities. The GARP would also deal with fraternities that violate rush procedures. "THERE HAS always been a jucidial function in our constitution," Lutes said, insisting that the judiciary See GREEKS, Page 6 .. . ::::. :::. .1"Jl . . .'.:::::....:."."::: i! . .... . .r " ." :.v ::.:::.":." ..v v.-:.:.".v.-.v "::::::.v v:::: . .: ::: x:.":.".": :". :.".v rw.v:.".

'U'Council- races decisions on code By KERY MURAKAMI After eleven months at work on an alternative code of nonacademic conduct, the University Council will reach a crossroads next Thursday when it meets for the first time this fall. The nine-member council must decide then whether to reconsider the administration's code proposal students protested last year, or to try to finish its own version of a code by the end of the year. MONDAY, IT was disclosed that University President Harold Shapiro told students involved in the code issue that he may bypass the council and submit the ad- ministration's code proposal to the Board of Regents for approval in January. He said, however, that he would not go to the regents, if the council finished its version by January or, as a sign of "good faith," reconsidered the administration's proposal of last November. The council never con- sidered that code, opting to draft its own guidelines to control behavior outside the classroom. The November code draft is a series of "rules for the University community." If put into effect, it would also give the University the authority to punish students, faculty and staff for crimes ranging from rape to civil disobedience. STUDENTS and faculty protested this code, claiming that some parts of it were unconstitutional; some said that the University should not have the right to punish for non-academic offenses. Key to the council's decision next week will be whether it can finish its own code'in time. According to Eric Schnaufer, the lone student returning from last year's council, the group must still polish its recommendations on emergency procedures. Under their emergency procedures, a central coor- dinator will have the authority to take such steps as ban- ning a student from a classroom only if the student was a threat to other people in the University.

Patricia Maceroni was dismissed from her position by the WSU publications board last Thursday for refusing to print military adver- tisements in the school paper, The South End. STUDENTS council members believe Maceroni has the power to decide that The South End will not ac- cept military advertisements. But the publications board last week voted 7 to 1 with one abstention to fire Maceroni for insubordination, saying that she did not have the authority to refuse the ads. WMU President David Adamany met with student council leaders for an hour-and-a-half yesterday to discuss Maceroni's dismissal. The meeting came after 100 students demonstrated Tuesday in front of his office in an attempt to have him pressure the publications board to reinstate Maceroni. Jay Grossman, president of the student council, said he and his vice president asked Adamany to consider changing the publications board's charter on the grounds that it is am- biguous as to who has final authority over the paper, the editor or the publications board. ADAMANY would not comment on the issue at yesterday's meeting, however, because he said he did not believe the University administration should influence the publications board's decision. "I've taken no steps to intervene," Adamany said. "I don't want my views to influence the editor or the student publications board because they're established by a charter which is wholly independent of the University administration." "I regard this as a freedom of the press issue," he added. Maceroni's attorney, John Minock, will go to Detroit Circuit Court today to ask for a temporary restraining or- der and "immediate reinstatement' of his client, charging that her First Amendment rights have been violated. Said Maceroni of her chances of being reinstated: "We'll have to see how the injunction goes." vigil Doly Photo by JAE KIM Gretchen Broman sings 'We are healthy, beautiful, women" at the second annual Vigil for battered women.
