4 Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Monday, March 31, 1986 Libyan pilot offers to form suicide squad. LONDON (UPI) - Police said yesterday they were investigating reports that at least one of some 20 Libyans training at a private British flying school had volunteered to form "suicide squads against America." The offer was made Friday in a telephone call to a radio station in theLibyan capital, Tripoli, ac- cording to the BBC's monitoring service in England, which tunes in to the world's airwaves. "We...are prepared to become suicide squads against America and its arrogance," said the caller, who said he spoke for "the revolutionary force at Oxford Aerodrome, Britain." "We will hit with an iron fist anyone like dirty Reagan who contemplates aggression," the caller was quoted by BBC monitors. "Revolutionary struggle continues forever." Police said they were alerted to the broadcast by the BBC and were investigating. "We are looking into it and senior officers are being up- dated," a Thames valley police spokesman said. Libyan leader Moammar Khaddafy called on Libyans last week to form suicide squads to strike at American targets in retaliation for U.S. attacks in the Gulf of Sidra during a dispute over Khadafy's claim to jurisdiction over the water- way. Oxford Air Training School, Europe's largest private air training establishment, has about 20 Libyan students and is located within easy flying distance of U.S. air bases at Upper Heyford and Greenham Common, where cruise missiles are stationed. But training school staff said security precautions would prevent any of the trainee pilots from smuggling explosives into the school's light training aircraft for a bombing mission against one of the bases. The Sunday Times interviewed a Libyan student it identified as having made the call, Adil Masood who has been at the school for two years and is allowed to fly solo. Masood told the newspaper that he and his colleagues would not attack any American targets in Britain but said they were prepared to do "whatever we are instructed to do," even if it meant "going on a suicide mission to the U.S." BUSINESS Forecasts: Job opportunities, salaries to rise By GEORGE KOKKINES Job opportunities for the class of 1986 will increase by 1.5 to 2 percent, according to two recent job forecasts. Salaries will also rise, one of the reports predicted. Starting salaries in all fields, which rose 6.5 percent last year, will continue to rise another 1.8 percent this year. THE Northwestern-Endicott Report, a survey of 250 businesses and college recruiters, and the Michigan State University Report, a survey of 710 businesses, government agencies, and educational in- stitutions, predict that the greatest amount of growth will occur in the small and medium sized firms, with the most growth occurring in the ser- vice industry.

The MSU report also predicts growth in electrical engineering, computers, mechanical engineering, and accounting. A few fields, such as banking, finance, and insurance will suffer declines in opportunities.

REGARDLESS of their major, liberal arts graduates must com- municate effectively, write clearly, and present their skills articulately, May said. Students should research several fields, talk to alumni, and cultivate experience and connections through summer jobs, internships, and job training programs. The Northwestern Endicott report states that 82 percent of the surveyed recruiters believe that students with work experience interview better and make more solid career choices. Recruiters opinions differ on the importance of their applicants' grades. "Too many factors affect grades," according to the North- western-Endicott report. "The ability to take exams doesn't necessarily equate with leadership, integrity, motivations, and interpersonal skills it takes to succeed." OTHER recruiters disagree, saying that grades indicate how well an applicant can compete with his peers. If "students succeed versus their peers, they will succeeed versus the competition, too," the report con- tinued. Think You re Pregnant?

Hewitt, Ypsilanti Call: 434-3088 (any time) IN BRIEF COMPILED FROM ASSOCIATED PRESS AND UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS Filipinos stop air base strike CLARK AIR BASE, Philippines - Hundreds of barmaids and taxi drivers, furious over lost business, routed Filipino workers blockading the U.S. Clark Air Base yesterday and tore down barricades the pickets had built. Filipino police fired pistols into the air to break up the 20-minute melee in which at least four people were injured, including one man who lost a front tooth when a rock hit him in the mouth. After the 150 strikers on the barricades fled, the hostesses and taxicab and passenger jeep drivers ripped out the workers' sound system, smashed the windows of a pick-up truck, broke chairs and set fire to a tarpaulin the pickets used as a tent. They then cheered U.S. military personnel who returned to the base af- ter being stranded outside by the 9-day-old strike. About 22,000 Filipino civilian workers represented by a union federation are demanding higher severance pay from Clark, Subic Naval Base and six smaller U.S. bases. Officials said clubs, restaurants and local transport around Clark, Subic and the other bases have lost about $1 million worth of business sin- ce the strike began. Koreans protest dictatorship KWANGJU, South Korea - Some 80,000 people demanding con- stitutional reform marched through the streets of Kwangju yesterday chanting "down with dictatorship" in the largest anti-government rally since President Chun Doo Hwan came to power six years ago. Thousands of plainclothes and uniformed policemen stood by as the protesters marched through South Korea's fifth largest city in a demon- stration called to back demands for a constitutional revision to permit direct election of the president. About 500 youths remained behind the marchers to confront riot police but were dispersed with tear gas shortly after midnight. There was no immediate report of arrests or injuries. The rally in Kwangju, 170 miles south of Seoul, was the third and largest of its kind, following a gathering that drew 1,500 people in Seoul and another that attracted about 10,000 a week ago in Pusan, Korea's second largest city. Soviets report U.S. rejection MOSCOW - The official news agency Tass yesterday reported the United States has rejected Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's call for a meeting with President Reagan in Europe to discuss ending nuclear tests. Earlier in the day, the Communist Party daily newspaper Pravda ac- cused the White House of "dispelling the spirit of Geneva" by what it said were U.S. attempts to create new regional disputes. On Saturday, Gorbachev challenged Reagan to meet him "in the nearest future" in Europe to discuss banning nuclear tests, and did not mention a planned superpower summit to be held in the United States this year. The White House issued a statement after Gorbachev's speech saying Reagan believes superpower summits "should deal with the entire range of important issues between our two countries." The statement added that Reagan hoped Gorbachev would reply soon to the U.S. suggestion that a summit be held in the United States in June. The U.S. statement did not explicity reject Gorbachev's proposal, but it said if the Soviet Union "desires to make serious progress on the queston of nuclear testing limitation, it should accept the president's longstanding proposal that we have our experts meet.and should respond positively to the president's most recent offer." Ortega calls attacks defensive WASHINGTON - Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said Sunday that attacks by government troops on rebel base camps in Honduras were "totally defensive operations." Ortega also said he was willing to negotiate with the United States and "the chief of the Contras, which is President Reagan," but he refused to say whether his government would meet U.S. demands to negotiate with rebel leaders. Appearing on the CBS program "Face The Nation," the Nicaraguan president said, "We have not invaded Honduras. We have not committed any act of aggression against Honduras." Ortega earlier justified last week's border incursion 'against rebel bases, calling the rugged area between the two countries a "war zone," where Honduras had given up its sovereignty by allowing the rebels to control and operate from the region. He said military actions in the border area "have been taking place for years now all along the frontier area to attack the counterrevolutionary forces which...have their bases in Honduras. They are totally defensive operations." Inmates seize fellow prisoner BUFFALO, N.Y. - Three jail inmates demanding an airplane to Libya tied a screaming prisoner spread-eagle to a cell door, slashed him with a homemade spear and beat him before guards ended a four-hour siege, of- ficials said yesterday. But before the guards regained control at about 4:30 a.m. yesterday, the inmates demanded and received television coverage and were allowed to speak to Buffalo Common Council President George Arthur about conditions in the aging Erie County Holding Center. "These guys weren't playing games," said sheriff's Sgt. Richard Dob- son, who drew his gun and forced the inmates to surrender. "We really firmly believed that they would kill the inmate." Prisoners Donald Simmons, 20, Herman Cruz, 28, and Ivan Veras, 21, took fellow inmate Robert Jordon, 29, hostage in a second-floor cell block shortly after midnight. Jordon, apparently picked at random, was tied spread-eagle to a cell door and was beaten with a mop handle and slashed with a spear fashioned of glass from a broken television set during more than four hours of negotiations.
