Scores of Americans arrived Tues day at the U.S. Seafront housing com pound, where U.S. Marines were on guard. Others moved to hotels near Manila Bay, about five miles west of the fighting. At least 77 people have been killed and more than 540 wounded since rebel soldiers launched the coup attempt Friday. Vice President Salvador Laurel suggested that he, Aquino and Con gress all resign, as a means of ending the battle, and schedule new elections. Reports said the leader of the main pro-Aquino party had suggested she dismiss her Cabinet as a gesture to the rebels. Rafael Alunan, undersecretary of tourism, negotiated for hours with the leader of rebels in Makati about the foreigners trapped in three luxury ho tels and condominiums. The talks at the Intercontinental Hotel ended at sunset, and Alunan said they would continue Wednesday. The reb els offered Monday to let the foreigners leave. After the negotiations Tuesday, Alunan said: "They've decided to post pone ... because it's nightfall and we don't want the tourists to be mistaken for soldiers." He said some details remained to be settled, but would not be more specific. Capt. Albert Yen, one of the insur gents, said "the intention is not to re lease Americans." "U.S. meddling has caused the fail ure of the first wave of our assault, so we hold them liable," Yen said. - Abroad University 1C i f V , y I i I 1 iA )7 I fif J J ' 'hi $ II ' ' 1 ImmJ' Jfel &Lmm- mr rr,.

Angry East Germans, swept up in a near-frenzy aimed at rooting out past corruption, surrounded police head quarters in several cities to halt the further destruction of secret police documents that could be used in prose cutions. Under Honecker's hard-line rule, the dreaded secret police were the main instrument for keeping people under control. Communist Party leaders appealed for calm to avoid "anarchy and chaos' ' in East Germany, which in the past two months has seen the ouster of its long-time leaders, mass pro-democracy protests, the historic opening of its borders and promises of free elec tions and other reforms. Non-Communist Cabinet chosen PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia One of the country's two republics named a government dominated by non Communists on Tuesday for the first time in 41 years, and talks began on opposition demands for a new federal government. About 2,000 students chanting "Resign! Resign!" demonstrated in Prague as Communist Premier Ladis lav Adamec met with dissident play wright Vaclav Havel on demands for Protest ment." Members of the Campus Y's Stu dent Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC) marched to support the minor ity groups. "Essentially, all our con cerns (between environmental groups and minority groups) are fundamen tally the same, and we need to join hands in our efforts," said Melinda Bogardus, a sophomore from North port, Ala. During the protest, a group from the BOT meeting, including Chancellor Paul Hardin, gathered in front of the protesters. Hardin told the protesters that their concerns were being heard. "We have to face up to racism. We are listening to you." TIRED of WAITING Days or Weeks for your Eyeglasses? Come to us & get your glasses in ONLY ONE HOC!!?!

Monday-Friday 10:00-6:00Saturday 10:00-2:00 News in Brief a new Cabinet to replace the Com- . munist-dominated body named Sun day. The opposition has threatened a general strike for Monday if the 21 member Cabinet, which contains only five non-Communists, is not replaced by Sunday. The Cabinet named to serve under ; Communist Frantisek Pitra, premier of the Czech regional government, includes nine non-Communists and seven members of the Communist Party. Israelis plan terrorist attack JERUSALEM Israeli soldiers Tuesday killed five heavily armed Arab guerrillas who crossed the bor der from Egypt and planned a "spec tacular" terrorist attack to mark the anniversary of the Palestinian upris- -ing, the army said. Israeli jets staged their second raid into Lebanon in the past 1 2 days in an attempt to foiestall further infiltra--tions coinciding with the uprising's second anniveisary on Friday. Leba nese police said seven people were wounded. In the occupied Gaza Strip, a Pal-: estinian teenager was killed and 20 Palestinians were wounded in stone-'. throwing clashes with troops, Arab! doctors said. ', from page 1 Hardin said the BOT had expressed a strong interest in issues such as the AfricanAfro-American Studies cur riculum and the recruitment of black and Native American faculty members. Cell was not present because she "felt it inappropriate for her to lobby unless the Board of Trustees asked," Hardin said. "I take full responsibility for that." ; Many students were dissatisfied with the response. "The faculty should have shown concern a lot earlier than now," said sophomore Daniel Peddle of Winston-Salem. ' Emily Lawson, a freshman from Washington, D.C., said Hardin didn't seem to address their concerns. "He didn't seem to care at all." ; t Freshman John Fitzpatrick of Dur ham said Tuesday's protest was not the end of opposition. "If nothing happens, hopefully we'll go a different route. We can just keep on fighting." Nigel Long, a freshman from Char lotte, said, "I hope in the future, not so long a process of protesting will be needed in order to getjistened to." ; They're All Business Hours To Us.
