Police officials said both of the missiles fired at the embassy landed on a road outside the embassy com pound. However, Kyodo News Serv ice, which is located across the street from the embassy, said said one flew over the gate surrounding the em bassy and landed in a garden inside the compound. “We (U.S. Embassy per sonnel) confirmed that we were attacked. ” — M a m i K a n i a , spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo. office said, “we confirmed that we were attacked” but gave no other de tails. Several minutes later rockets were fired at the imperial palace about 1.2 miles from the U.S. Embassy, police said. Those rockets also failed to hit any buildings, and there were no in juries or damage. SHORT ON CASH???

Sources say Marcos moved HONOLULU — Deposed Phil ippine President Lerdinand E. Mar cos moved secretly Monday night from Hickam Air Eorce Base to a private home in a coastal suburb of Honolulu, military and police offi cials said. Marcos, who has stayed at Hickam since arriving in Hawaii on Eeb. 26, was moved between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. (12:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. EST), according to a source who spoke only on condition of anonym- ity. The move to the upper-middle- class neighborhood near the Niu Valley was conducted by the Secret Service, the source said. Maj. Virginia Pribyla, U.S. Pacific Command spokeswoman, said, “He is no longer at Hickam.” Faculty Senate OKs changes in core curriculum (continued from page 1) the ORP, according to the docu ment. A third resolution passed by the senate reinforces a University regu lation that prohibits the use of to bacco in classrooms and laboratories and asks that all campus classrooms, lecture halls, laboratories and semi nar rooms have signs clearly stating this prohibition. Of the 23 revisions to the Univer sity rules and regulations, only one of the changes was debated by the senate and the remaining 22 were passed unanimously. Needed revi sions to the rules and regulations are submitted annually to the senate. The debate centered around a rule regarding turning in final grades for graduating seniors. The change says that, for graduating se niors at the end of a semester, final grades will be based on the semester average as computed at the time the registrar calls for grades. Dr. Garland Bayliss, chairman of the Rules and Regulations Commit tee, said the change was necessary because many professors give grad uating seniors incomplete grades at the time grades are called for, and then change the student’s grade later after the work has been com pleted. In other business, the senate amended and voted in favor of the last two sections of the core curric ulum proposal, which has been be fore the body since 1983. One of the sections would require each student to take six hours of cul tural heritage to be selected from such areas as fine arts, humanities, foreign language (excluding skills courses in a student’s native lan guage), history, literature, philoso phy, archeology, theater arts and ge ography. The last section in the core curric ulum would require each student to take six hours of social science. Although the senate has amended the core curriculum document point by point, substitutions and additions to the existing document now will be heard and voted on before a final vote can be taken on the whole pro posal.

Libyans claim U.S. jets hit (continued from page 1) lenses combatted and shot down three aircraft, two of which were evening. The three aircraft fell into the sea. “At about 1:20 p.m. the American fleet shelled the suburbs of the city of Sirte using rockets.” The announcement ended with, ‘Al-Fatih forever, and the revolu tionary struggle will continue.” Al- Fatih means ‘the conqueror,’ and was an apparent reference to Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy. In Washington, Pentagon sources said earlier that Libyan forces fired at least two anti-aircraft missiles as U.S. planes crossed Khadafy’s “line of death” and conducted operations over the disputed gulf. The Washington sources said no American planes were hit by the mis siles. The sources, who earlier acknowl edged receiving reports from the 6th Fleet about missile firings, stressed the information arriving at the Pentagon was fragmentary. But they added it appeared clear that at least two Soviet-made SA-5 surface-to-air missiles had been fired from the Libyan coast into the gulf.

Sen. James Sasser, D-Tenn., said he was not surprised by the incident, and suggested that “now that we’ve made our point, perhaps this is the time to pull back.” “1 think this action is certainly a cause for concern,” said Sasser in a telephone interview. “It was not un expected that the Libyans woidd take some action if we sought to en force our rights to traverse those wa ters.
