A 48-hour military alert was wound down Sunday, but officers could not leave their units, said mili tary sources, speaking on condition of anonymity. Greece planned a 3how of military strength with a five-day, air-sea exercise starting Monday in the northeastern Aegean, where a Turk ish research ship had planned oil ex ploration in a continental shelf area claimed by Greece. Turkey stepped back from a mili tary confrontation with fellow NATO member Greece over min eral rights in the Aegean when it changed the ship’s course at the last minute Friday. Turkish Premier Turgut Ozal said the ship, Sismik-1, would con fine its tests for oil to Turkish terri torial waters, provided Greece did the same. Ozal said in Ankara on Sunday his handling of the dispute turned “the crisis to our advantage,” but ,did not elaborate. He spoke after returning from a two-month stay in the United States, where he underwent a coronary by pass operation. He received a tradi tional Moslem welcome, with Turks slaughtering hundreds of sheep in the streets of Ankara. In Greece, strikes by civil servants and bakery workers set for Monday were canceled in a show of support for the government. Even the Greek Orthodox Church, battling the gov erning socialists for control of would church-owned land, said it stop holding public protests. Analysts said Papandreou’s hand ling of the crisis also would boost his popularity among Greek left-wing ers, who have accused the govern ment of abandoning its radical anti- Western platform and moving to the right. position politician then,Pap, urged the conservativegovi to "sink the Sismik.” At one point during the con frontation with Turkey, Papandreou demanded the temporary shutdown of operations at a U.S. military base near Athens, citing a clause in the 1983 Greek-U.S. defense accord that permits such action during a na tional emergency. 1 his time, Papandreou the United States and theNi lantic Treaty Organization toui.iv;mg 1 in key to _ .

As a radical op- Aquino praises citizens groups, blames extremists for instability DAVAO CITY, Philippines (AP) — President Corazon Aquino en dorsed unarmed anti-communist cit izens groups Sunday as a legitimate example of “people power” and blamed leftist and rightist extremists for national instability. Call Battalion Classified 845-2611 The role of such groups has stirred national debate. Supporters believe the groups can contribute to combating communism. Critics fear they will become a threat to law and order. The military meanwhile remained on full alert against rebel attacks as the Communist New People’s Army commemorated the 18th anniver sary of its founding. The military said the rebels threatened to kill a general to mark the date, but there were no reports of attacks. Aquino on Sunday flew to Davao and Zamboanga on southern Minda nao Island to support 24 Senate can didates in the May 11 congressional elections. She drew only modest crowds, far smaller than those which turned out during rallies in support of the con stitution, which was ratified Feb. 2. Aquino told about 30,000 people in Zamboanga City that “I blame the leftists and the rightists for the pre sent problems in the country.” In Davao City, she told about 5,000 people she was pleased that lo cal officials “saw ‘people’s power’ to take care of the citizens without the use of arms.” She apparently was referring to a group called United Association for Peace, or NAKASAKA, organized this month in southeastern Minda nao as an anti-communist organiza tion. Local Governments Secretary Jaime Ferrer has urged formation of other groups along similar lines to encourage citizens’ cooperation with the military in combating the com munist rebels. The military claims NAKASAKA is unarmed. Another vigilante group, Alsa Masa (Masses Arise), has received weapons from authorities in Davao City, where it was formed last year. NAKASAKA, however, has formed an alliance with a militantlv anti-communist religious cult. Tad- tad, whose members carry machetes and other weapons. Some Philippine columnists and human rights groups deplored the rise of citizens’ groups as a threat to civil liberties and said they could turn into lawless militias. Labor Party: Talks with U,SI were In Zamboanga City, Aquino ac knowledged that her government has not solved the 15-year-old Mos lem insurgency in Mindanao and other southern islands, but said pro gress had been made. < • i < < i > .

A vote on a referendum will be held in conjunction with the student elections on Wednesday, April 1. The referendum will be to create a fee to fund the construction, operation and programming costs of a new Intramural/Recrea tional Sports Facility. We are asking that all students consider the issues be fore the vote. Why should YOU vote YES!! -A student financed recreation facility would ensure recreational use by stu dents as a number one priority! -Students would have a voice in the type of facility constructed as well as operational policy. Does Texas A&M even need additional recreational space? YOU be the judge! -The current facilities are overcrowded and were designed primarily for instr- ructional use. -Free play recreation use is a low priority and limited to a few hours outside the primetime. -There is increased interest in physical fitness and increased participation in intramural and recreational sports programs. -The current facilities are not available for recreational use all day and class insturction is the first priority. How would a new recreational facility help? -It would address the potential problem of losing half of the currently avail able recreation activity space due to the continued deterioration and possi ble loss of both DeWare Fieldhouse and G. Rollie White recreation space. -It would increase the capacity for recreational use of indoor facilities, as well as provide sufficient space to accommodate all recreational users in mod ern, attractive facilities that would be available for use throughout the entire day. Facts about recreation at A&M -Approximately 80% of the student body currenlty participates in some form of recreation on campus -One in seven students participates in intramural basketball alone! -A random sample survey of students at Texas A&M revealed that 85% of the respondents were in support of new recreation facilities on campus.
