The University has received a num-
ber of awards for its administrative
services, including one special award
- granted to only three universities -
for tallying the greatest number of in-
dividual honors.
The University tied with Brown
University and Ohio State University
for the most honors over the past five
years for superior development and
relations programs from the
Washington-based Council for Advan-
cement and Support of Education.
ADDITIONALLY, THE office of
Michigan's vice president for Univer-
sity relations and development won ten
awards and the University's Division of
Research and Administration received
its fourth U.S. Steel Foundation Award
for "sustained excellence in alumni
giving."
Harvey Jacobson, assistant to Vice
President for University Relations and
Development Michael Radock, said,
"the achievement is not only due to the
professionals, but also can be at-
tributed to the excellent support from

volunteers. There are hundreds who
give many hours of their time."
THE UNITS UNDER the Relations
and Development Office received these
awards:
The Office of State and Community
Relations, in cooperation with the
Alumni Association, for the exceptional
achievement of the Michigan
Awareness Program and alumni in-,
volvement. The office also received
citations for its activities in the
Michigan Technology Fair and the Ann
Arbor Art Fair. Its publication, the
University Record, was honored for
professional quality and effectiveness.
* The Development office, for the ex-
ceptional achievement of its volunteer
involvement program, and citations for
increased Presidents Club volunteer
activities and improvement in financial
support.
s The.Office of Information Services,
for "excellence in news writing."
The University Publications Office,
for the visual design of the Museum of
Art's catalogue for the exhibit,
"African Art: Images and Ornamen-
ts," and special merit for the Taubman
Medical Library dedication brochure.

were permitted in Chinese territory,
the reports said.
XU LEARNED TO speak English in
the Chinese schools before the for-
mation of the People's Republic. After
the Communist takeover, the schools
taught the Russian language. But now,
said Xu, most Chinese schools teach
English instead of Russian to the
students.
He recounted the years of the
Cultural Revolution when officials
branded psychology a "pseudo-
science" and cut off all of Xu's work at
the institute. Xu burst out laughing at a
pafticular remembrance.
"ALL THOSE years I still got my
salary," said Xu, adding that he
worked on his family's farm for several
years planting vegetables and feeding
chickens. "Life in the countryside was
cheap," he chuckled.

In 1972 he went back to the city of
Peking, but he said it was only until 1976
after the deposition of the Gang of Four,
could the psychological studies in China
develop further.
"THE CULTURAL Revolution was
bad for economic development in
China," he said. Though the situation
now is "good," there are still special
problems.
"Everybody wants to develop the
economy as quick as possible," said
Xu, "but it's not that easy." Xu said
China must iiport the techniques more
gradually since they've found "some
industry cannot give profit in a short
period of time." He advises training the
students more at the universities and
with "the foreign companies."
Xu will stay at ISR until the end of
August when he will return to China af-
ter a three-week tour of some industries
and institutes in Japan.

Pope's accused assailant
may have had PLO training
WASHINGTON-Mehmet Ali Agca, accused of wounding Pope John Paul
II, was trained in terrorist tactics at a Palestinian base in Syria, according
to U.S. and foreign diplomatic sources.
"Whether they told him to go out and shoot the pope, we don't know," a
State Department official said. "But this type of person is trained in those
camps. That kind of terrorist training would be normal."
The disclosure is the first linking of Agca with Palestinians, although it
was known he had told his Italian captors he was sympathetic to
"Palestinian commandos."
The foreign sources said Agca was trained at the Hamitriyyacamp near
Damascus operated by AI-Saiqa, the Syria-controlled faction of the
Palestine Liberation Organization. According to the sources, who declined to
be identified, Agca also was trained in the past at the PLO base al-Hilal in
Libya.
Ireland's Fianna Fail
expected to return topower
DUBLIN, Ireland-Prime Minister Charles Haughey's Fianna Fail, the
party that has governed the Irish Republic for 39 of the last49 years, is ex-
pected to return to power in today's parliamentary election but with its 17-
seat majority reduced to only one or two.
The most influential poll, published by the independent Irish Times,
Ireland's most respected daily, gave Fianna Fail 44 percent of the vote and
the main opposition parties, Fine Gael and Labor, a total of 43 percent.
Fine Gael and Labor are expected to form a coalition, as they did in 1973-
77, if their combined total gives them a majority in the Irish parliament, the
Dail.
Five percent of the 1,050 voters questioned Sunday and Monday by Irish
Marketing Surveys for the Irish Times said they supported independents.

in wells near Albion
LANSING-The presence of a cancer-linked industrial degreaser has been
confirmed in private wells near Albion along with some wells serving the
municipal water department Health officials said yesterday.
Spokesmen for the state Public Health Department said persons with
more than 4.5 parts per billion of tricholoethylene or TCE in their wells are
being advised to obtain drinking and cooking water elsewhere, and it has
been recommended that the city minimize use of wells found to have some
trace of the substance.

tled water to about 45 locations at this time.
Monitoring of tainted city wells is continuing as are tests on some residen-
tial wells.
