made an emergency landing at Hellinikon International Airport in Athens despite a 3- by 3-foot hole in the right side of the aircraft that caused a loss of pressure in the cabin.
The pilot compensated for drag caused by the hole in the right side of the fuselage just forward of the wing and landed the plane at 7:34 a.m., two minutes after the blast, Pearson said.
The bombing came only days after Libyan leader Col. Moammar Khadijah had urged attacks on U.S. government and commercial targets in retaliation for U.S. attacks on Liibimi military targets during the day of Sidra suicide last week. Khadijah denied any involvement in the bombing.
"This is an act of terrorism against a civilian target and I am totally against this," Khadafy said. "We do not attack civilian targets."
TWA flight attendants are on strike against the airline, but TWA officials ruled out any link between the bombing and the labor dispute.
Airline officials said the bomb apparently was on the floor of the passenger cabin under seat 10F in Row 10. Police sources in Greece said
the bomb probably was carried aboard the aircraft in a passenger's hand luggage.
The explosion occurred as the plane began its descent for landing in Athens, and all passengers were taken into their seats, TWA officials said.
The official Athens News Agency said the plane would have been destroyed if the aircraft had been flyover 0.000 feet at the time of the explosion.
The International Airline Passengers Association, based in Dallas, issued a statement warning travelers to stay away from the Mediterranean.
"Travel for Americans into the Mediterranean area, unless absolutely essential, should be avoided," the IAAP said.
There have been five attacks in the past $9_{1/2}$ months on aircraft and airports in the eastern Mediterranean, and three of those involved planes flying to or from Athens.
In yesterday's attack, authorities at Leonardo da Vinci Airport in Rome were investigating whether explosives were smuggled onto the plane before it left Italy at 11 a.m.
Vaccine
A needle stick, he said, happens when the needle pricks the skin and can transfer the virus to the student who is treating a hepatitis patient.

This is more likely to occur, Yarmat said, when the student places a protective cap over the needle before it's discarded.
The second type of shot is the one now available to the medical students as the vaccine. It also protects the body, he said, but it takes a number of months for the body to produce antibodies against the virus.
If a student who hasn't been vaccinated is exposed to the virus, he should get two types of shots, Price said.
The reason for using both shots is that although the antibodies in the first shot protect the body immediately, they are short-lived. The second shot stimulates production of antibodies that tend to be permanent, Price said. The total cost of the two shots is about $200.
of coming up to the Legislature at this late date. I'm not anxious to press that issue."
The first type of shot, called HbIg, contains antibodies that will give the body immediate protection against the hepatitis B virus.
Teachers Continued from p. 1
Keith Nitcher, University director of business and fiscal affairs, said the measure could encourage professors who were interested in teaching at KU.
"Most people are conscious of putting something away for retirement," Nitcher said.
The present system for unclassified employees withholds 5 percent of their annual salaries, Nitcher said. The state contributes an amount equal to 6 percent of their salaries to insurance companies specified by the Regents.
Incoming faculty must wait two years to enter the program unless they already have a similar contract, he said. They then receive the benefits upon retirement.
Unclassified employees include general faculty, administrative staff and research assistants. Classified employees, or civil service workers, can participate in a separate program called the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, Nitcher said.
Lottery
Continued from p.
onto the November general election ballot.
The lottery proposal was heavily amended in the House, and a conference committee had to patch together a compromise that included informing the public of the odds of winning. In addition, the resolution will expire June 30, 1990, under a so-called sunset provision unless both houses of the Legislature vote to continue it.
Proponents of the lottery argued that it was foolish for Kansas not to keep the money Kansans spent buying lottery tickets in neighboring states — mainly Missouri — and gain tax revenue from it. They also argued that Kansas needed to join the ranks of states with lotteries to give it a more progressive image.
The conference committee removed a House provision to ban advertising of the lottery and dropped a Senate requirement that the revenue generated by the lottery be dedicated to property tax relief.
Opponents contended that the state was promoting gambling by operating its own lottery, which was immoral and an abdication of the responsibility to raise taxes.
