Ninety-nine years of editorial freedom Vol. IC, No. 48 Ann Arbor, Michigan - Monday, November 14, 1988 Copyright 1988, The Michigan Daily over ivt 2/Daly with PLO moves 0 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.' -PLO spokesperson Ahmed Abdul-Rahman 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. - Michigan defensive tackle Mark Messner embraces coach Bo Schembechler following the Wolverines' 38-9 victory Illinois on Saturday.

Husar's prospects for playing against the Fighting Illini appeared slim. He practiced sparingly in preparation for Illinois, and Michigan coach Bo Schembechler's policy is if a player does not practice, he does not play. But Husar refused to watch the entire game from the sidelines. Championship games'are funny that way.

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 See Protest, Page 3 .
