U.S. Embassy in Tokyo bombed
Associated Press
TOKYO — Rockets were fired
Tuesday at the U.S. Embassy and
the Japanese imperial palace, but
none of them caused injuries or
damaged any buildings, police said.
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. ”

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.

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.

probably in the best shape it’s ever
been in to counter terrorism here.”
Fascell said, “To my knowledge,
for example, the administration has
not consulted with Congress on the
policy which produced this situation
as required under section three of
the resolution.”
He added that, to the extent that
U.S. armed forces have now become
involved in hostilities, he would ex
pect the administration to provide a
report under the act’s provisions.
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. There have been warnings on
both sides.”

the incident “shows how popular
some Third World leaders think it is
to ‘take on’ the U.S. and how quickly
and easily the U.S. can get involved
in direct military action.”
