Libyan leader offers West a view from home turf TRIPOLI, Libya Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy talked of war and peace, love and hate from inside his tent headquarters, where an automatic rifle and a feather duster hung from the rafters and two camels gabbled outside. Khadafy, 43, was in a relaxed mood as he talked with six female jounalists, including this reporter, Saturday night. - Wt - .fan"- , .:. -4 (fot'v RHy Kurt EberhardtDaily Nebraskan Khadafy Clad in a peach-colored head wrap and a powder blue jumpsuit and red shirt, with a long, beige cape draped over his shoulders, he introduced the reporters to his wife, Safia, and four of his seven children. Khadafy, perhaps best known in the Western world for his harsh anti American and anti-Israeli rhetoric, appeared eager to offer that same audience a rare glimpse of his human side against a warm domes tic backdrop. Palms outstretched and smiling broadly, Khadafy responded, "Yes, why not?" when asked if he would welcome Reagan to his tent on the grounds of his heavily fortified bar racks, where he works, relaxes and entertains other world leaders. Asked why he chose just women for the interview, Khadafy said, "It is because I encourage women to be free. I feel women everwhere are oppressed and I would like to see a world of men and women equal." At about the same time, at another site on the same barracks grounds, a crew from the RAI Italian television network was harassed by young revolutionary guards who complained bitterly about U.S. threats against Libya. The guards vowed any U.S. action against Khadafy would be met by a violent Libyan reponse against Rea gan, who holds Khadafy responsible for Dec. 27 terrorist attacks at Rome and Vienna airports which left 19 people dead. Khadafy told his visitors, "We have no hostile intentions to do these dangerous things against the United States." He said he would send Libyan suicide squads into American streets only in the case of American or Israeli "aggression" against Libya. Khadafy made no effort to con ceal his intentions against Israel, which he has long said must be "crushed" in order to achieve Mid dle East peace. Claiming the Israelis want "to destroy all other nations . . .until there is only them, the chosen peo ple of God," he called on outsiders to let Israelis and Arabs settle dif ferences themselves. Reminded that Arab nations his torically had difficulties getting along among themselves, Khadafy responded, "Yes, but the problems between Arabs have never threa tened international peace and Israel now threatens international peace." Job market brighter for '86 grads EAST LANSING, Mich. This year's college graduates should find the job market slightly better than last year's graduates, with the most marked growth in technical fields, according to a national survey of employers. "Again this year, the largest demand and highest starting salaries are those in the technical fields," said John Shingleton, placement director at Michigan State University who con ducted the study with assistant direc tor L. Patrick Scheetz. The 15th annual Recruiting Trends Survey found employers expect to hire 1.4 percent more graduates with bache lor's degrees this year at starting salar ies averaging about 1.8 percent more than 1985. Demand remains high for minorities and women, according to responses from 710 employers in business, indus try, government and education. Salary offers vary by academic major, but the average starting salary for bachelor's degree recipients is ex pected to be $21,601, the survey showed. Master's degree holders will average $26,010, and those with docto rates will average $30,01 1, according to the survey. EmDlovers indicated they would hire 3.9 percent more electrical engineers, 3.8 percent more computer scientists, and additional 3.4 percent mechanical engineers and 3 percent more indus trial engineers, Shingleton said. Nearly every academic major showed some gain, except agriculture, which remained the same as the previous year, the researchers said. The survey showed demand for ac counting majors rose 2.7 percent; mar keting and sales, 2.7 percent; hotel, restaurant and institutional manage ment, 1.8 percent; chemical engineer ing, 1.8 percent; general business ad ministration, 1.5 percent; metallurgy and materials science, 1.5 percent; chemistry, 1.4 percent; and civil engi neering, 1.3 percent. The best opportunities were in the same geographical order as the last two years Southwest, Southeast, South central, Northeast, Northcentral and Northwest, the survey said.
