45-hour embassu siege ends
ANKARA, Turkey - Four Palestinian terrorists surrendered to Turkish authorities early yesterday after a 48-hour siege of the Egyptian Embassy that resulted in the deaths of two security guards and one of 17 hostages taken Friday.
Their arms raised in a "v for victory" salute, the terrorists appeared on a balcony of the building with Egyptian Ambassador Akmed Karnal Olema and another official.
Then they peacefully left the building and were taken for questioning to Ankara security headquarters. They were expected to go before a martial law decision.
During the siege, an Egyptian chauffeur died when he fell from a window in an escape attempt. Three other hostages escaped and four women were rescued.
There was no immediate word on the terms of the surrender agreement. The guerrillas had demanded that Turkey break ties with Israel and Egypt, that two comrades jailed in Egypt be freed, and that they be given safe passage out of Turkey.

Department officials said motorists could begin seeing price increases at the pumps as early as this week.
The rules are expected to set a uniform cost of 15 to 20 cents for all service station profits, higher than the current profit average of 12.5 cents. a

UAW to negotiate for raises
DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union begins contract negotiations today with General Motors, Ford Motor Corp. and the Chrysler Corp. that will allow them to hold a strike.
Chief union demands were expected to be pension increases for retired workers, more time off and substantial wage increases. The companies will continue to make progress on the new contract.

KANASIS CITY, Mo.—Parts of midwinter states will have access to about 28 billion cubic feet more natural gas this winter than last winter, according to the U.S. Energy Department.
The increased supply, which primarily will come from new Cities Service Gas Co. fields in Wyoming, is equal to more than 10'9 days supply for the company's industrial and residential customers in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, the company said.
The story said that documents filed with federal regulators by Cities Service estimated that conservation measures by utility customers were saving money.
The impact of increased supplies already is being felt by industrial customers and power plants, who are getting all the gas they can use.
Kansas communities served by the Cities Service pipeline include Lawrence, Tupka, Wichita, Aitchison, Fort Scott, Clansman, Parsons, Dodge City, Hutcheson, and Omaha.
Prime Minister of India auits
NEW DELHI, India—Prime Minister Morarji Desai resigned yesterday after a mass revolt by supporters denied him of a majority in Parliament.
Desai, 83, was asked to remain as caretaker prime minister until a new government is installed, the office of President Mahmoud Sadik Bahadur.
Defense Minister Jaglivan Ram, a member of the "Tountouchables," India's lowest caste, can be the front-runner to succeed him.
Desai's 28-month government was brought down by discontent within his Janata party over rising prices, a breakdown of law and order and a police revolt for better pay and working conditions that had to be quelled with army troops.
Dessai quit on the eve of a vote of confidence in Parliament that he was doubled to win because of the defection of 100 party members from the lenient coalition.

elementary and nursery schools and day-care centers. Other businesses apply for exemption on the basis of exceptional hardship or inequality, par- ticipation in an employment program, or any other reason.
DAYTON, Ohio - The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. and the United Rubber Workers reached tentative agreement last night on a new contract that would provide general wage increases of 72 cents an hour over three years, officials said.
The agreement, reached after 19 weeks of negotiation, also provides holiday and vacation improvements, an increase in the cost of living allowance in the workplace, and a change to the tax system.
A Goodyear spokesman said the pact basically followed the economic terms of the settlement the union reached earlier with B.F. Goodrich. The union and Goodyear have been on a day-to-day extension of the old contract since it exiled April 20.
A URW-Firestone pact was signed in Cleveland Saturday, and Goodrich and Uniroyal also have agreed to new three-year contracts.
Weather
Temperatures will be cooler today with a chance of showers and thunder shows by late afternoon. The high temperature will be in the low-to-mid-85s.
A year spent in Costa Rica can give a KU student valuable experience he will never forget. Sherman Thomas, chairman of the University of Costa Rica, said Thursday.
Costa Rican prof likes exchanges
"If you go to Costa Rica for a year, you have something tangible to show for your grades," and Thomas, who was visiting KU last week. "But the fact that you live with a family and get a feel of the country is only more important than the tangible things."
The exchange program between KU and the University of Costa Rica was initiated 20 years ago and is one of the oldest of its kind. Thomas said, Through the Office of Study Abroad, KU students may arrange to travel to Costa Rica and study at the university along with a Costa Rican family. In return, Costa Rican graduate students come to KU.
"The program is very important to us. For one thing, it has been in existence longer than any other program in Latin America," he added, old, and the university is only 37 years old.
He said about 20 KU students a year go to Costa Rica, and only about a fourth of that come to KU. The Costa Rican students are undergraduate, and cost of the KU students are undergraduates.
"I am a bit leary about letting our undergraduate students participate in the game," he said. "We come up here and gets his first degree, the chances are good that he won't go back." A graduate student, with a degree from Costa Rica, said he would be there is a better chance of his going back."
Thomas, who has a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Minnesota, was visiting KU last week on his way back to Costa Rica from Oregon, where he had met with the university agreement with Oregon State University setting up a similar exchange program.
Sherman Thomas
He said he was interested in improving the KU faculty exchange program, which which has been in place for 25 years.
"The faculty exchange program is very important for us," Thomas said. "We have

had some recently, but we would like to see more, for longer periods of time."
Maupintour travel service
Some of the professors have stayed in Costa Rica for as little as a week, he said. There are problems with a faculty exchange program, because of the different standards of living, but he said he hoped the program would be expanded.
"It would be a good compliment to our existing program," he said, "This is not for me to decide, but in the higher echelons of government." Nothing could be said for this faculty exchange.
Money is one of those problems, Thomas said. Until eight years ago, the University of Rica was the only university in the country with a public funding from the government. Now there are three other public universities, a private university and two junior colleges to share
Thomas is a member of the higher echelons of the University of Costa Rica. He was elected to his department chairmanship as president, and he balloted, by the faculty, for rector, or president, of the university. Some of the students has to deal with are similar to those at KU.
There is quite a bit of government money to split up, according to

"We used to be able to justify any ... creases in our budget by citing higher enrollment, but now, with enrollment stabilizing, it's harder to show the people in charge that the money is still needed to maintain and expand programs."
"There is no army in Costa Rica," he said,
"the funds ordinarily allocated to the
army are used for agriculture."
The students who attend college come from all over the country. Thomas was born in New York.
"About 20 years ago, I would have had to say the situation was terrible," he said. "You had to be from San Jose or the surrounding area to go to the university." He added that the branch branches all over the country which accept students from the area they serve."

New programs including stipends and tuition waivers, and loan programs, help students to get the degree.
"The system is totally different from that of the United States. In Costa Rica, the cost is fairly cheap, and if you can demonstrate that you can't afford it, you get a free ride."
The University of Coffs Rica also has to contend with future declines in enrollment, housing and public services in Kansas. The addition of other schools in the country and stabilizing population levels have been key factors.
