AT U.N., BEGIN CALLS FOR WORLD PEACE
Israelis call for PLO surrender
From AP and UPI
Israeli troops and armor rumbled
through Christian east Beirut to the
Green Line boundary with Yasser
Arafat's enclave yesterday and Isreaeli
Defense Minister Ariel Sharon said the
Palestinian guerrillas should realize
"their struggle has no change."
Reporter said the Israeli units moved
through streets in the Christian half of
Beirut and examined several sites in
what appeared to be a prelude for set-
ting up positions at key crossing points
to the Moslem sector, controlled by
Arafat's Palestine Liberation
Organization.
AT THE UNITED Nations, Arab
diplomats walked out as Israeli Prime
Minisger Menachem Begin, leaning on
a cane, addressed a General Assen-
mbly session on disarmament, calling
self-defense the "most sacred duty .of
man." t
'to Led by theSoviet and Arab blocs, 94 of
the 157 General Assembly member
nations boycotted Begin's appearance.
"Let us meet, let us shake hands, talk
peace to each other, make agreements
1 T.,
and all of us will change the course of
history of our nations," Begin said.
AT THE SAME time, in a veiled
reference to Israel's war with the PLO,
Begin called self-defense "the noblest
concept of the human mind." He gave
no indication of Israel's ultimate objec-
tives in the 13-day-old conflict.
In Beirut, one Israeli armored per-
sonnel carrier with three troops strayed
inadvertently into west Beirut and
traded fire with Syrian or Palestinian
gunmen before withdrawing to
Christian-held territory, the Christian
Phalange militia said.
The-incident occurred at the Galerie
Semaan checkpoint. A Phalangist
spokesman said the Israeli personnel
carrier drove through successive con-
trol posts of the Phalangists, the
Lebanese army , and the Syrians
without noticing their signals.
A LEBANESE army vehicle pursued
the personnel carrier to wrn the driver
he'had crossed into west Beirut, and the
Israeli driver turned back some 300

Museum a

cuts hours
to avoid
layoffs
The University's Museum of Art will -
reduce exhibition hours next month in
an effort to tighten its budget, museum
officials report.
"We, like every other department,
had to take cuts," said Jacquelynn
Baas, assistant director of the museum.
"We either had to cut one salaried
position or cut back hours. We decided
to cut hours so we could provide the
same services."
THE MUSEUM will cut six hours
from its schedule beginning July 1,
Baas said. New hours will be 11 a.m. to
4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1
p.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
The museum hopes to save $12,000-
three percent of its $400,000 budget-
with the cut and with a voluntary reduc-
tion in staff, Baas said.
The University provides the museum
with operating costs and salaries, while
special exhibitions and acquisitions are
funded by individual donors and federal
agencies, she said.
BAAS ALSO reported that federal
funding for museum exhibits has
decreased dramatically. The museum,
for example, will receive only one-
quarter of the federal funds requested
for September's exhibition of Frank
Stella prints, she said.
Despite the cutbacks, admission to
the museum will continue to be free of
charge, said Robert Nuismer, a
museum employee, "because we're an
educational institution. We don't feel
that we should charge for admission.
We don't even take donations at the
door."

Regents pass new hospital bid policy

policy would aid state firms.
"It sounds like it should be effective,"
he said. "It is about time we do
something of a positive nature."
JOHN FARNHAM, associate
executive director of Associated
General Contractors of Detroit, agreed
with Brunvand.
"I don't know if it is going to solve the
problem totally, but it will go a long
way toward it," he said.
Roach's proposal was adopted as a
substitute for a plan submitted by
Regent Gerald Dunn (D-Lansing), who
wanted the University to accept "in-
state" bids within one percent of the
lowest bidder, if that bidder was an
"out-of-state" firm.
"I WOULD prefer five percent," said
Dunn, "but on the basis of compromise,
I propose one percent." The other
Regents, however, voted for Roach's
proposal, with only Dunn opposing.
Also at yesterday's meeting, the
Regents authorized the remodeling of
several North Campus buildings for use
by the School of Engineering. The
project marks the start of the school's
plan to completely relocate on North
Campus.
During a presentation to the Regents,
engineering school Dean James Duder-
stadt said that the remodeling phase,
combined with plans for a new building
on North Campus, would enable 75 per-
cent of the school to be located on North
Campus by 1983, and 100 percent by 1985
or 1986. Currently, engineering school
buildings are divided between Central
and North Campus.
Duderstadt said the approval marked
the end of the "crippling division of the
College of Engineering that has haun-
ted us for years."
