JERUSALEM — Israeli troops
fired tear gas Monday at Palestinian
students protesting a rocket attack
on a bus that killed an Arab passen
ger and a Jewish terror group
claimed responsibility for the as
sault.
In a note retrieved by police, a
group calling itself the “Avengers”
said it carried out the attack and
warned it is armed with “heavy, not
light” weaponry such as the anti
tank missile that tore through the
Arab bus Sunday.
The note, redd over Israel tele
vision, said the group would con
tinue its attacks until the release of
25 members of the Jewish under
ground, most of them on trial for at
tacks against Ardbs that include the
abortive attempt in April to blow up
five buses.
“We will stop our actions when the
death penalty is imposed both on the
murderers of Jews and on any ter
rorist,” the note said. “The freeing
of the members of the Jewish under
ground is also a condition for us to
stop our attacks.”
The bus attack near the Old City
of Jerusalem was to avenge the slay
ing of two Jewish students by a Pales
tinian.
It was one of several retaliatory
acts reflecting a recent increase in
tensions among Arab and Jewish ex
tremist groups in Israeli-occupied
Arab lands.
Security forces on the occupied.
West Bank fired tear gas to disperse
Arab students at Bethlehem Univer
sity who pelted vehicles with stones
to protest the attack, which killed
one Arab on the bus and wounded
10 other passengers.

A Palestinian spokesman said the
troops remained positioned on roof
tops at the university and the admin
istration was acting as mediators be-
tween the troops and the
demonstrators.
In Tunis, the Palestine Liberation
Organization also protested the as
sault.

Insurance office plans survey
By DALE SMITH
Reporter
The Student Insurance Office will
| be conducting a survey on Nov. 1
land Nov. 2 to determine how many
istudents and system personnel are
Imteresied in health insurance.
The survey will consist of a ques
tionnaire asking students if they
have insurance, and if they are satis
fied with the insurance they have.
Wayne Roberts, vice-president of
student services, said the main rea
son the office is conducting the sur-
Vey is to find out if the current policy
fielders are satisfied with their pol
icy.
“We want to get their (student’s)
feedback,” he said. “That’s the only
way we’ll know what they want.”
He said the questionnaires should
be filled out and sent back to the stu
dent insurance office, 119 Pavilion.
Roberts said most policy- holders
are graduate and international stu
dents who do not have domestic in
surance. Most students are covered
by their parents, he said.
“We’ve targeted 1,600 A&M sys
tem personnel that are currently us
ing (health) insurance,” he said.
“We’re collecting all the information
now to find out what the students
want.”
Roberts said the University’s pol
icy holder is Keystone Health Insur
ance Company. The standard policy
is $120 per year.
“It’s a very cheap health insurance
policy,” he said. “But it’s a very good
policy.”
Roberts said questionnaires are
being sent out now, and it will take
several weeks to get the results.

SAN MARCOS — A lawsuit
aimed at closing Jacob’s Well, a wa
ter-filled natural cavern that has
claimed the lives of at least nine
scuba divers, is expected to go to
trial Nov. 26.
Defendants in the case are Wim-
berley Resorts Property Inc., the
company thAt owns the land on
which the well is located near Wim-
berley in Hays County.
Don Dibble, the owner of a dive
shop in San Marcos, sued the com
pany in 1980 for injuries he received
while trying to recover the bodies of
two divers who drowned in the 105-
foot deep caverns.
The well has been posted off-lim
its to divers since the two divers died
there in 1979. But there are no bar
riers preventing entry to the well,
and several divers have drowned
since then.
Dibble, who said he hopes his suit
will permanently close the well, wAs
seriously injured while trying to re
trieve the bodies of two Pasadena di
vers who drowned in the deep, twist
ing corridors of the well in
September 1979.
Dibble, a former Navy diver, wAs
trapped by sliding gravel at 90 feet
and rAn out of air before he freed
himself. He suffered a ruptured
stomach caused by an air embolism
as he rushed to the surface.
A concrete plug was placed in the
well to keep other divers out, but it
was later washed away by heavy rain
fall.
