ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greeks
rallied around the government Sun
day and labor unions canceled
strikes as a standoff with Turkey
over Aegean Sea oil rights ended in
what Greece saw as a victory for
Prime Minister Andreas Papan-
dreou.
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.

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.

IT WON’T HAPPEN
WITHOUT YOU!
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.
