The United States attributed the attacks to Palestine Libera tion Organization faction leader Abu Nidal. U.S. officials hold Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadafy responsible, however, claiming his regime harbored and supported Nidal. Last week Reagan retaliated by freezing Libyan assets in the .United States and ordering that all business dealings with Libya end by Feb. 1. in addition. Reagan has readied ships and planes for deployment tcHhe.Li-' byan region. ° ° Meanwhile. Rhadafy denies responsibility for the*raids. and ‘ has threatened to declare an "endless war" .in the Middle East.'

"I'm not sure that the economic sanctions that have been taken are going to stop anything," he added. "But on the same token, I'm not sure that military action is the proper channel. ” '. . „ . • Suzette Stephens, an undeclared freshman, agreed. "1 don’t really have that much of an opinion, but I don't think it should he handled militari ly,” Stephens said. . Galen Yip, a senior studying fi nance, marketing and Japanese, said Reagan needs more "quantitative” proof the Libyans were connected to or responsible for the attacks. If Reagan has proof. Yip said, he then should present it to Ihe American public before taking military action. "The first thing the govern ment should do is disclose any evidence. . .that those terrorists are Libyans," he said. "What kind of evidence does he have? Were they trained in Libya? At least we should know why he does it,” Yip said. ‘The first thing the government should do is disclose any evidence . . . that those terrorists are Libyans. *.

"Before we act, we should have the support of the international community. "At the same time, we need to confront it somehow." Gor don added. "But we should do it quieter and with more sup port...and we should do something and get it over with.” Jerry Jaqua, coordinator of analytic systems for the Oregon State Board of Higher Educa tion, agreed the matter should be handled with political finesse. ''It should be done diplomatically," Jaqua said "Basically the idea is to get together at a high level and come to some kind of an understanding as to who is responsible. That's their only choice." ‘As far as military action goes, at this point Vm not sure.

"We should put our foot down. I think we should flex our military muscles." "The problem with retalia tion against terrorist activity in Rurope is the possibility of military escalation of many dif ferent countries — a global con flict could ensue." said Dave Peterson, a junior in political science. "Global conflict would most likely mean global destruction — nuclear war ” _a_ __ sa i nut;
