A
to recognize
state of Israel
ALGIERS (AP) - PLO leaders
accepted a U.N. resolution yesterday
implicitly recognizing Israel's right to
exist and recommended that the PLO's
parliament endorse the decision.
The move means that Yasser Ara-
fat, chair of the Palestine Li-beration
Organization, has won his struggle
with hard-line leaders over the
controversial U.N. Resolution 242.
If the decision is accepted by the
Palestine National Council, the
PLO's parliament-in-exile, it will
meet one of the conditions for U.S.
recognition of the PLO.
The declaration accepting the
resolution was debated and being
drafted by a committee for presenta-
tion to the plenary session of the
Palestine National Council, which
began a four-day meeting in Algiers
on Saturday.
"The PNC will come out with a
political decision and a program of
peace," said PLO spokesperson Ah-
med Abdul-Rahman.
"In the political statement, we will
adopt all resolutions of the U.N.
Security Council dealing with the
Palestinian question. What's more,
we will emphasize resolutions 242
and 338 as the basis for an inter-
national conference to achieve peace
in the Middle East."
Resolution 242 calls for an end to
hostilities and Israeli withdrawal from
territories occupied in the 1967, it
implicitly recognizes Israel by refer-
ring to the right of all states in the
area to live within secure and recog-
nized borders.
Resolution 338, passed in 1973
during the Arab-Israeli war, calls for
an end to fighting; urges implemen-
'We will adopt all resolu-
tions of the U.N. Security
Council dealing with the
Palestinian question.'

tation of Resolution 242 and, most
importnant, calls for negotiations
between Arabs and Israel toward "a
just and durable peace in the Middle
East."
In the closed-door committee
meetings among PLO leaders, there
was strong opposition to Resolution
242 from the Marxist-oriented groups,
particularly George Habash's Popular
Front for the Liberation of Palestitie.
Habash's faction is the second-
largest of the eight groups comprising
the PLO. Arafat's is the largest.
Sources close to the talks said that
after two days of haggling, it was
clear no compromise was possible.
Habash agreed to note his reserva-
tions, but bow to the majority, and
not create a major split.
The 450-member Palestinian
council began meeting Saturday and is
expected to conclude on tomorrow
with a declaration of indepence for the
West Bank and Gaza Strip.
To date, more than 310 Palestin-
ians and 11 Israelis have been killed
in the 11-month uprising.

An aide to University President
James Duderstadt promised minority
student group representatives a meet-
ing today with Duderstadt, following
a protest Friday in which they de-
manded the 1987-88 minority affairs
report be recalled for factual
inaccuracies.
Students gathered on Regents
Plaza Friday at noon to protest the
report, released in August by the of-
fices of the President, Provost and
Vice President for Academic Affairs,
and Vice Provost for Minority Af-
fairs. Student protesters said they
only became aware of the report last
week.
Duderstadt was in Detroit Friday
during the protest, but his assistant
Robin Jacoby arranged the meeting
for 11:30 today.
The document has been attacked
by student groups for a number of
inaccuracies, including:
-Reference to a nonexistent
"Committee on Hispanic Studies"
and no mention of the Latino Studies
program and its director, University
Prof. Silvia Pedraza-Bailey;
-No mention of programs or
groups available on campus to Na-
tive American students, and further
omissions of events and scholarships
given by Latino student organiza-
tions;
-No mention of the Hispanic
Alumni Council, or of any Asian or
Native American alumni associations
or recruitment efforts; and
-A reference to the Target of Op-
portunity Funds as a faculty recruit-
ment program inclusive of all mi-
norities, when no Hispanic or Native
American faculty members have yet
been brought in, and the program is
not extended to Asian Americans.
LSA seniors Anne Martinez and
Elsa Barboza, members of the So-
cially Active Latino Student
Association, met last Monday with
Charles Moody, vice provost for mi-
nority affairs, to discuss their com-
plaints with the report.
At that time, Moody told them he
would take their concerns to Duder-
stadt. The students have filed com-
plaints about the report with Duder-
stadt's office for about a week.
Moody, who said he will attend
today's meeting, has promised to ac-
tively seek student input for this
year's report. He stressed that his of-
fice only takes "an inventory of
things that have happened," and that
it depends on student groups to sup-
ply accurate, current information.
He said yesterday he does not
