LONDON — Britain and the Pat
riotic Front guerrillas have crowned
more than three months of tough
negotiations with a cease-fire agree
ment they hope will end the 7-year-
old bush war in Rhodesia and lead it
to full independence as the new Re
public of Zimbabwe.
The two sides announced Monday
they had cracked the last of many
deadlocks that have plagued the con
ference and initialed a cease-fire
agreement 98 days after the
marathon talks started Sept. 10.
They said they will sign a full-
fledged agreement ending the war,
in which an estimated 30,000 people
have died, at a ceremonial session
today. It will give Zimbabwe an in
dependence constitution.
Deputy Foreign Secretary Sir Ian
Gilmour, announcing the cease-fire
agreement, said, “This is a very im
portant day for Rhodesia. It means
the end of the war. This has been an
extremely long and difficult negotia
tion and our success is a tribute to the
perseverance and willingness to
compromise of all three delega
tions.”
The Front accepted the cease-fire
a few hours after Britain offered the
guerrillas a “final concession” and
told them to either take it or be left
out of the independence settlement.
Gilmour said when the full agree
ment is signed, a date — probably
about three days later — will be
announced as the start of the cease
fire. He said it should become fully
effective seven days after that.
But the guerrillas said this is far
too short and it would take six or
seven weeks before all their men in
the bush are informed and can stop
fighting.
The final breakthrough came
Monday when the guerrillas, who
only Saturday had rejected Britain’s
detailed cease-fire proposals, in
formed Gilmour they now were pre
pared to initial and sign them. The
Salisbury delegation already had in-
itialed them and flown home
Saturday.
The sticking point was the number
of o-called “assembly areas” in which
the guerrillas would have to gather.
The British initially proposed 14,
then 15, and finally increased the
number to 16. The guerrillas had de
manded 31.
The 16th assembly area was lo
cated in the Rhodesian heartland,
something the guerrillas had deman
ded. They also were told that if addi
tional assembly areas appeared
necessary, Britain’s governor Lord
Soames would designate them.
The Front, in a statement read to
reporters by co-leader Nkomo, said,
“We are are well aware of the short
falls of the settlement but we believe
it is a sound basis on which to build a
truly democratic society in Zim
babwe, free of racism and exploita
tion of man by man.”
But the question mark was™
the cease-fire hold?
“I believe it will,” Gilmour sail
“After all the suffering Rhodesiabl
endured, I cannot see any respel
ble person starting the figlilii:l|
again.”
Robert Mugabe, the other Patel
tic Front leader, said, “Wearewl
dent that if the British side honorsj
side, we are prepared to honor)I
side.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Uni
versity of New Mexico regents say
they expressed concern last year that
the school’s basketball program
might be discrediting the school and
warned program officials to change
recruiting tactics.
Head UNM basketball coach
Norm Ellenberger was fired Monday
by school President William E.
Davis for “willful and grossly incom
petent conduct” in a scandal which
has rocked the school’s entire athle
tic program.
And in another development,
school officials were preparing an
official response to be released by
the regents to an Albuquerque news
paper’s editorial urging the resigna
tions of UNM President William E.
Davis and the regents themselves.
Davis Monday called the demands
for his resignation ridiculous and said
he felt he had “acted appropriately
and ethically in this whole matter. ”
Regent Phillip U. Martinez said
Tuesday the regents told then Athle
tic Director LaVon McDonald in
January of last year to “convey our
feelings to Mr. Ellenberger that the
basketbal program was bringing dis
credit to the university.”
Martinez said the regents also
wanted the UNM basketball recruit
ing program to deemphasize junior
collge transfers.
“He was instructed that on this
year’s recruitment, he was to get
mostly freshmen and no more than
two junior college students,” Mar
tinez said. “Well, you see what he
did. ”
Five of the new members of this
year’s basketball team were junior
college transfers. All five have been
declared ineligible or suspended.
Another UNM regent who re
quested not to be identified, also
confirmed that the board had repe
atedly expressed concern about the
basketball program’s immage.
A top official at UNM toldUPliJ
there was an “increasing feelinjtk
the basketball program was a scrim
drawback to all of UNM’s recni
efforts.”
The official said there was
Ellenberger’s basketball teamtj
taken on a "handido mmage” «b4
was tainting the entire atklell
program.
McDonald said he had relsJ
Martinez’ concern to Ellenbeel
McDonald said Ellenbergent|
sponded by saying it would belt
cult to increase the emphasisi
freshman recruiting because fe
schools used junior college transa
and New Mexico would be alia
advantage.
