Page 2 University Daily Kansan, September 18, 1980 News Briefs From United Press International Disagreements stall OPEC meeting VIENNA, Austria - OPEC's ministerial conference collapsed yesterday when cabinet members failed to agree on a long-term price formula. Saudi Arabia said it would not raise its petroleum prices until others lowered theirs. Saudi Oil Minister Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yariam also said that his country intended to maintain production at the current level of 9.5 million barrels a day through the end of 1980, another stand that helped wreck the cartel's three-day meeting. The ministerial meeting broke down under the weight of solid opposition from Iran, Libya and Algeria to a Saudi Arabian proposal that would have linked OPEC oil prices to a variety of economic factors, including fluctuations on the world's money markets. The three hard-liners demanded that there first be a cutback in oil production by OPEC members, including as much as 2 million barrels a day. The key problems facing the ministers were the wide price range of OPEC oil—from a low of $28 charged by Saudi Arabia to a high of more than $37 charged by others—and high production, which is estimated at 27.6 million barrels a day. Salvadoran leftists take 6 hostages SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador—Lefist guerrillas shot their way into the Organization of American States offices yesterday, wounding five people, seizing the building and taking six hostages. They demanded an end to government repression. The band at least 18 guerrillas was led by a woman, witnesses to the takeover said. Government troops in tanks and armored personnel carriers surrounded the mission after the takeover but later retreated when the guerrillas and a soldier commanding the operation talked through a megaphone, witnesses said. The hostages included Albino Roman, the Nicaraguan chief of the OAS office in Managua; two OAS officials, two secretaries and a cleaning official. The officers had fled to Peru. Cubans hijack plane despite warning MIAMI—Two young Cuban refugees, "tired of the robbing and killing" in New York City, hijacked a Delta Airlines jet to Havana yesterday despite Fidel Castro's warning that hijackers will be imprisoned or sent back to the United States to face charges. The two men, identified as C. Perez and J. Vega, commandered an Atlanta to Charleston, SC flight with 114 people aboard just before it made a turn. They took over the plane by splashing an inflammable liquid around the passenger compartment and threatening to put a torch to the aircraft. The hijackers were handcuffed and led away by Cuban authorities when the plan landed at Jose Marti Airport. After the hijackers were taken off the plane, the remaining 104 passengers and eight crew members flew back to Miami International Airport and then on to Charleston and Columbia. It was the 13th hijacking of the year and the 10th since last month when U.S. officials started tightening security at airports and putting air marshals in place to prevent hijackers from entering. Almost all of the recent hijackings have been carried out by hornsick Cuban refugees who had arrived in the United States via the Cuban sealift that began last April.

LOUIS—The reputed leader of an organized crime faction was killed yesterday by a bomb that blew his car apart while he was driving on Interstate 55. He said he considered the pacts one of the most important achievements of his presidency.

The faction ran the Authorities said they did not know where the bomb was placed in the car or what was used to trigger the explosion. Members of the police department's bomb and arson squad and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were investigating the bombing. Cool weather, repairs ease Summerfield heat Business and economics students returned to 411 Summerfield this week after three weeks of hot weather had ended, and joined class in the overheated lecture hall. By PAM HOWARD Staff Reporter The recent cooling trend and minor repairs to the cooling system have made temperatures in the classroom bearable, students said. Joseph Cox, visiting assistant professor of economics, said that the temperatures in the lecture hall had been increasing while preparing his Economics 104 class on Sept. 8. Cox said the heat not only hurt attendance, but also impaired the students' ability to learn and his ability to present class material. Thomas J. Weiss, chairman of the economics department, said that he and business school representatives had advised the chancellor's office about the problem. James J. Scaly, administrative assistant for the chancellor's office.
