KUWAIT—The Kuwait govern
ment still refused today to let four
pro-Arab terrorists from Singa
pore land on its territory despite
threats of other guerrillas to kill
hostages they were holding in the
Japanese Embassy in the Persian
Gulf sheikdom. The terrorists who
seized the embassy on Wednesday
claimed they were holding “more
than 20” Japanese and Arabs.
They vowed to blow up the host
ages and themselves unless the
Singapore terrorists and their
hostages were flown to Kuwait.
ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada— The
strife-tom little island of Gre
nada got its independence from
Britain today, but other Caribbean
leaders boycotted Prime Minister
Eric Gairy and stayed away from
the five-day celebration. Gairy’s
opponents have demonstrated for
weeks against the prime minis
ter, who they claim plans to set
up a police state now that Grena
da’s 210 years of association with
Britain have ended.

10,000 American civilians living in
the Panama Canal Zone fear Sec

lead to major changes in their

of tension and anxiety, and some

Senate rejects optional athletic fee
(Continued from page 1)
“This body is here to make
policy and therefore is able to
make a decision on this matter.
There is no reason for us to put
it on the referendum ballot,” said
Yosufzai.
Y o s u f z a i’s appeal failed;
White’s resolution passed.
Barb Sears, chairman of the
External Affairs Committee, pro
posed emergency consideration of
a resolution in support of main
taining the Permanent Education
Fund and establishing a fund
from an ad valorem tax for other
Texas schools.
A similar resolution was passed
by the Texas Student Lobby last
weekend.
“This proposal is a compromise
worked out by the presidents of
the universities in Texas and we
should take a stand soon since it
will be voted on this week,” said
Sears.
The resolution passed by voice
vote.
