Israeli jets draw Beirut fire
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Israeli jets thun
dered over Beirut Sunday and drew anti-aircraft
fire over Sidon from Palestinian guerrillas on alert
for a possible Israeli invasion of southern Leba
non.
The Lebanese government said Israel had
massed 40,000 troops at the border it shares with
Lebanon, and the Reagan administration
appealed for restraint. U S. Ambassador Robert
Dillon said after meeting with Lebanese officials in
Beirut that the situation was dangerous.
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin
assured U S Ambassador Samuel Lewis during a
three-hour meeting Sunday in Jerusalem that
Israel had not decided whether to attack southern
Lebanon, U S Embassy spokesman Jeff Dietrich
said Begin s spokesman Uri Porat refused to
comment on the embassy report.
Israel regularly makes reconnaissance flights
over Lebanon, but sources in the southern port
city of Sidon told The Associated Press they were
more frequent Sunday
The sources, who asked anonymity for fear of
reprisal, also said the Israeli-backed Christian
militias of Maj. Saad Haadad had moved tanks
into the village of Barachit, slightly north of the
enclave they control by the Israeli border and
about 25 miles south of Sidon.
Begin and Lewis met in Jerusalem after the
prime minister's Cabinet held a six-hour session
amid growing tension between Israel and the
Palestinians.
In Tel Aviv, the Israeli military command
announced Sunday that two Palestinian guerrillas
were captured two days earlier after infiltrating
the occupied West Bank from Jordan carrying
weapons, grenades and explosives.
Israel regards any Palestinian infiltration as
violations of the cease-fire the United States
arranged last July, ending two weeks of heavy
shelling across the Israel-Lebanon border.
Begin s government claims the PLO has used
the eight-month truce to stockpile arms and
ammunition The United Nations peacekeeping
command in southern Lebanon says it has no
evidence to support that claim.
Tenth ranked debate team optimistic
Winning the respect of the
Eastern debators left the
University team that qualified for
the national tournament feeling
"quietly optimistic” about their
2-6 record
Senior Chris Miller and
freshman Mark Tone qualified in
late March to go to the national
tournament held April 3-4 in
Tallahassee. Fla They were the
first team from Oregon to qualify
in eight years The topic was
whether or not the United States
should curtail the power of labor
unions
"We were hoping to just win
one round,” says Tone
The Oregon team had a
"definite disadvantage" debat
ing against Eastern schools with
more experience and exposure,
according to Tone
"The Eastern teams debate
every weekend regionally and in
all the national tournaments,"
says Ron Tucker, University di
rector of debate "We are very
good but we don't compare with
the Northeast " The entire
University debate team ranks in
the top 10 nationally
Tucker explains, for example,
Harvard debates two teams and
Lesbianism story mislabelled
In Iasi Friday's Emerald, an article entitled "Class
explores Lesbianism” was incorrectly attributed to writer
Debbie Howlett. The byline should have read Diane Winocur,
of the Emerald.
The Emerald regrets any confusion the error may have

Mark Tone and Chris Miller
has 20 to 30 people doing all the
research In contrast, the
University's five teams do their
own research and must live
within a limited budget for
tournaments
"The Eastern schools are
almost clique-ish,” says Miller
"They don’t think the West can
be taken seriously and can
compete on their level It's very
political.
"We were at a handicap as far
as research went,” continues
Miller. She and Tone spent most
of Spring break doing additional
-research to add to what they
had done all year.
Regardless of the tremen
dous amount of work it took to
get there, the debators felt it
was worth it.
"I felt like a baby duck
though,” laughs Tone. “I felt
intimidated by some of the other
debators and very proud to be
there.”
Tone compares the exper
ience to an athletic event A lot
of people think debators are
eggheads that spend all their
time in the law library,” he says.
"But actually we just feel the
need to achieve excellence and
compete. We are a very com
petitive group "
