among other reasons, the nature of the Marines' mission is defensive and they are not involved in anything that could be defined as hostilities under the law.
AT THE UNITED NATIONS, Syrian Foreign Minister Abdul Kalim Khaddam accused the United States and its allies in the multinational group to restore colonialism in the Middle East.
Speaking at the opening debate of the 38th United Nations General Assembly, Khaddam said, "We are confident our Arab nation will defeat the new invaders who are coming back with their ugly faces and formidable war machines."

The Druse said that their fire came in response to a Lebanese army advance and warned "arms fall." The druses also failed. A rebel threat to shell Beirut airport won a government concession to keep it closed.
Syrian machine-gun fire violated Lebanon's cease-fire yesterday and a hand grenade wounded two French soldiers in the multinational peace-keeping force.
U. S. MIDDLE EAST envoy Robert McParlane toured Souk El Gharb, 8 miles from Beirut, where the army and rebels fought for 22 days in the fighting that followed the United States and Saudi Arabia, took effect.
After failing to agree on a site for the negotiations Tuesday, Lebanon's warring fa-

tions met to discuss ways of solidifying the 3-day-old truce.
PRESIDENT AMIN GEMAYEL called two former Lebanese presidents on the 12-man committee — Suleiman Franjheh, a founder of the pro-Syrian National Salvation Front, and the rightist Lebanese Front, Beirut radio said. It was not revealed what was discussed.
Soon after the gathering of Lebanese army officers and representatives of three private
militias, a heavy clash broke out in the most serious violation yet of the cease-fire.

The army said it did not return fire, but the Palestinian news agency WAFA carried a Drusse charge that the battle was triggered when the Israeli forces advanced in violation of the cease-fire agreement.
The statement, attributed to Drusen leader Waldl Jumbelt's Progressive Socialist Party, said that "fighters of the PSP beat back the advance."
IN ADDITION, SYRIAN gunfire hit near army positions in Bylos, 20 miles north of Beirut.
where the Lebanese air force built a makeshift airstrip during the recent fighting, state-run Beirut radio said.
An explosion outside a restaurant in Muslim west Beirut slightly wounded an army officer, damaged several nearby cars and shattered glass in nearby buildings, police said.

Public Works Minister Pierre Khoury announced the scrapping of plans to reopen Beirut international Airport today. Beirut radio said, "Airport also serves as the base for U.S. Marine."
Charles Himmelberg, chairman of the department of mathematics, said of Salinas, "He appealed to us because he is an excellent mathematician. He has done an enormous amount of research and has been published in many professional journals.
"He keeps us in the forefront of what's going on."
Salinas said that since his arrival at KU his blindness had never been too much of a problem.
ONE DAY, he said, he accidentally walked into the wrong classroom and began teaching. He noted, however, that he was teaching the correct subject.
"I'm a very changing person and you must be with the dog every minute." Salinas said. "You must sleep with him, you must go to parties with him and the dog wasn't completely trained.
Salinna primarily depends on a cane to guide him because a seeing-eye dog was not accepted.
"It kept having accidents. I was with her for 50 minutes in a park one day and she did a "number two" under the table in the classroom I was teaching in."
Salinas relies on other more dependable aid. He said his wife, Teresita, helps him match clothes when he doesn't remember the colors of certain items.
HE ALSO DEPENDS on a talking watch, and relies on the bus to get to work on time.
Salinas thinks he was fortunate that he was able to see until he was 10 years old. He said that the temporary eyesight had given him a good visual memory.
"I can picture things in my mind," he said. "I ask a lot of questions, particularly about color, better, and more."
Salinas is working to improve his teaching capabilities by experimenting on a computer that has a voice synthesizer. The computer can recognize the user's voice and output entire sentence so that he can check for errors.
As Salinas demonstrated the machine, he would occasionally tell the voice box to shut up if
He said he had someone now working on developing a program that would be adaptable for his use. He hoped he would be able to use the machine to prepare his lessons by himself.

Woziak also said that security would be more effective if residents cooperated with the existing monitoring systems.
Often, he said, residents didn't carry their hall identification cards when they came in after the doors had been locked, or complained about having to show their cards.
"If they want things done," Wozniak said, "they are going to have to respect the existing security system."
AMONG THE PROGRAMS that the new security committee is trying to organize is a wing-watch program, in which hall residents would take turns monitoring the building's activity.
Also, the committee is consolidating a list of phone numbers of KU police and of hall volunteer residents who could be called in an emergency.
At the Sept. 20 meeting, the committee discussed the possibility of organizing an escort service for McColum women. Men working for the escort service would offer to accompany or give rides to women who had to go to campus or get back to the hall at night.
Because knowledge of the rape has spread by word-of-mouth, residents are becoming more aware of the need to take precautions.
Chris Ogleyb, Lenene sophomore, said, "I never teared before that I could be physically hurt."
RITA LIBERATORE, Middletown, N.J., sophomore, said that to a great extent it was up to the individual to take security measures.
may be a pretty good job. However, the rape victim said that after the incident some residents still were not careful about security.
"People are sleeping with their doors partially open," she said.
But, she said, she was pleased to know that the hall was taking steps toward improving security.
Something like this is scary. It is bound to shake people up," she said. Sergeant Mary Ann Robison of the KU police department said that there were several measures hall residents could take to protect themselves.
"THE MAIN THING is to lock their doors while they are dressing, or sleeping, or even if they are taking a nap. I know this seems strange."

Residents should also report suspicious people to their resident assistants or directly to the police. Robison said.
She said it would also be helpful if residents escorted their guests in and out of the residence halls to eliminate the risk that they might wander
Also, people should be alert about anything suspicious when they walk into the bathroom.
"KIND OF SCAN around to make sure that the people that are in there are supposed to be there," she said. "One of the best things you can do is get a copy of your ID."

The rape victim said that a little overreacting might be helpful in getting people to be careful.
"If I have to walk the hall or down a stairwell, I am always looking over my shoulder." she said.
