The dissidents were members of PLO chairperson Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah faction. One Lebanese security source said the bloodless insurrection in the Lebanese port of Sidon was tanta- KOREA Continued from page 1 since 1945. "Precious momentum for a breakthrough in the deadlocked talks has been generated," South Korean Prime Minister Chong Won-shik said at dinner yesterday, according to South Korean pool reports. mount to a coup d'etat against what he called Arafat's policy of suc- cumbing to pressure to attend a peace conference. In Damsascus, meanwhile, Syria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and mem- bers of the Palestine Liberation Organization staked out a hard-line position for the talks after Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said he would attend the peace parley. The united front ruled out sepa- rate treaties with Israel, demanded a halt to Jewish settlements in the occupied territories and insisted Israel negotiate on the status of Jerusalem. Saudi Arabia and Morocco, which will attend the Oct. 30 con- ference in Spain as observers, backed the decisions by the front-line Arab states. Sources said the decisions were galvanized by Shamir's deci- sion Wednesday to supplant his foreign minister and lead Israel's Chong and his North Korean counterpart, Yon Hyong Muk, presided over two negotiating ses- sions. The breakthrough came at an unscheduled working meeting early yesterday in which both sides agreed to a framework and some key items for a comprehensive accord on easing tensions. "I believe that the South and North have now opened the door wide for an end to their long-stand- ing mutual mistrust and confronta- tion," said Chong, who is to return today to Seoul, the South Korean capital. Ahn Byong Su, spokesperson for North Korea, described the devel- opments as "very positive." "It gave us hope that there will be progress at the next meeting," he said. The agreement covering reconcil- iation, non-aggression, cooperation and exchanges would be the first major agreement between the two nations. If formally signed, it could lead to talks on arms reductions, a peace treaty and unification. The key to the breakthrough was an agreement by North Korea to drop a demand that South Korea re- peal laws restricting contact with the North. The North agreed to ban terrorist activity and attempts to overthrow the government in Seoul. delegation himself. Israel has repeatedly said it will not discuss Jerusalem or the settle- ments, and Israeli media reported yesterday that the Israeli delega- tion now would be stacked with hardliners. They included confidants of Shamir, hard-line legislators from his Likud bloc and possibly a repre- sentative of Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, the reports said.

The November conference will illustrate the viewpoints of the Spanish conquerors, native Ameri- cans, Catholic clergy, and Jews. The final conference, in December, will address common myths about Christopher Columbus and Crypto- Judaism in the Southwestern United States. 01 A aron M ainstone and M atthew Kone da, so pho mores in the Air Forc e ROTC, gear up for today and tomorrow's ROTC haunted house.

Tonight and tomorrow night ROTC members will hold their an- nual haunted house in the basement of North Hall, headquarters of the campus ROTC program. Although the living now oc- cupy North Hall, it used to be the home to a much different type of person - a much colder, stiffer kind. The University Hospital's morgue used to be located the in the basement. When people enter the basement this weekend, they probably won't see any real dead bodies. But Navy ROTC Batallion Public Affairs Officer senior Mike Beidler, the theatrical coordinator for the haunted house, said ROTC mem- bers have several scenes planned which may leave visitors longing for the unthreatening company of a corpse. In keeping with the morgue theme, Beidler said one room of the house will contain a "mad doctor room." "We've got half. a dead guy opened up, being operated on by two crazy doctors." Another room will feature "the famous toxic swamp scene - a few mutants and some guy cleaning up some toxic waste." If that's not enough, Beidler said, "We've got crowd control who perform hundreds of antics all night scaring the living day- lights out of people." Beidler and about 150 other vol- unteers from the Army, Navy and Air Force branches of the ROTC have been working on the haunted house since September. "It's a good time and people know it's fun, and they want to be involved." Last year, 2,175 students payed $2 each to attend the haunted house, Beidler said. After paying their ex- penses, ROTC evenly donated the remaining money to SAFE House and the OZONE House. This year, the proceeds will be donated to SAFE house again and to the Washtenaw County Viet- nam Veterans Memorial. "We de- cided to use small groups that re- ally need it," Beidler said. Susan McGee, director of the Domestic Violence Project, which operates SAFE House, said the do- nation would be "lovely news." McGee's program is currently fac- ing the loss of $41,000 in state funding. "At this point, the money will go for food and maintaining the shelter - real basic stuff," McGee said. On Saturday, before the general public is allowed inside, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will bring a group of underpriveleged Ann Ar- bor/Ypsilanti-area children through the haunted house, Beidler said. Clif Flowers, the fraternity president, said he accompanied the children last year. "They were gen- uinely frightened." He added, "It was something they had a good time with. We wouldn't have con- tinued doing it if they didn't get a kick out of it." 'We've got crowd control who perform hundreds of antics all night scaring the living daylights out of people' - Mike Beidler Navy ROTC Batallion Public Affairs Officer Business school senior Andrew Spilkin attended last year's haunted house - and made it through. "I enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was worth the money." But, was it scary? "It's pretty scary. There were a few points where it definitely made me jump," Spilkin said. The building will open at 7 p.m. each night and admission will be $3 a person. The line will be cut off around midnight, depending on how many people show up, Beidler said. "It doesn't fail each year that we have to turn people away. So, if they want to go, get there early." campus-wide "toramn Opportunities in Investment Banking First Boston, a global investment banking firm headquartered in New York, will be recruiting University of Michigan degree candidates for its financial analyst program.
