Israel. The raid killed four people and

Shrapnel bomb explodes near passing bus
MADRID, Spain A van rigged as a
shrapnel bomb was detonated by re
mote control Monday as a busload of
civil guards passed, killing eight guards
and wounding 44 people, including 12
civilians, officials reported.
No group claimed responsibility, but
the governing Socialist Party blamed
the explosion on "ETA assassins." The
Basque separatist group ETA has car
ried out many similar attacks on mil
itary and police targets, the most
recent a car bombing April 25 that
killed five paramilitary civil guards.
Twisted metal, mangled cars and
shards of glass littered Dominican
Republic Square in a fashionable resi
dential district about three miles from
the center of the capital. The bomb
exploded at 7:48 a.m., shattering win
dows around the square and damaging
street-level shops.
"The blast was so powerful it threw
me against a wall as I was coming up
from the subway," radio announcer
Carlos Cofrades said.
"There is broken glass all over the
place."
An officer riding next to the bus
driver was blown from the vehicle by
the force of the blast, but landed on his
feet unhurt. Diego Cortes Valdes told
journalists he had "no idea what hap

Druse spokesmen said later that two
Druse militiamen also were killed. The
Druse, who dominate the Ainab region,
are a secretive offshoot of Islam.
Prime Minister Rashid Karami claim
ed the attack was aimed at sabotaging
a Beirut security plan launched under
Syrian auspices two weeks ago to rein
state government authority in the
capital.
Syria has sent about 500 troops to
west Beirut to help enforce the plan,

A spokesman for the civil guard,
whose distinctive gray-green uniforms
and patent leather tricorne hats set
them off from other police, said 70
young officers were being taken to a
highway patrol training center in the
bus and a trailing van. He said the
vehicle that exploded contained shrap
nel and about 110 pounds of plastic
explosives.
The spokesman would not allow his
name to be used.
Some wounded officers were reported
in serious condition. The injured civili
ans included a street sweeper cut down
by flying glass.
State television speculated that the
bombing was an ETA response to Fran
ce's deportation to Gabon on Sunday of
the separatist group's reputed military
leader.
Domingo Itrube Abasolo, who is 42
and uses the code name Txomin, had
been living in France for 18 years as a
political refugee. Police arrested him
several months ago on charges of vio

arms in his home.
Police said the operation probably
was carried out by the ETA's "Spain
Commando," which is based in Madrid
and is believed responsible for at least
20 attacks this year.

When the NU Board of Regents man

cutting measure, Siminoe and other
Nebraska school administrators started
talking.
"What the regents are interested in

A squadron of 10 F-15 and two Phan
tom F-4 fighter-bombers delivered their
payloads in five passes over targets in
the mountains about 12 miles sou
theast of Beirut, police said.
The Israeli command in Tel Aviv said
its pilots reported "accurate hits. . .(on

said all planes returned safely.
The raid appeared aimed at Syrian
backed Palestinian factions active in
the region.
It followed overnight rocket attacks
on Israel's northern Galilee region.
Israeli military sources confirmed an
Israel Radio report of the attacks but
said no injuries or damage resulted.
The sources demanded anonymity.
Palestinian guerrillas periodically
fire Soviet-made Katyusha rockets into
Galilee from bases in Lebanon.
One building destroyed in Ainab was
an office of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine headed by
Marxist physician George Habash. The
three-story stone house was left flat
tened and smoldering.
About 80 yards away, a four-story
structure used by the Moscow-oriented
Democratic Front for the Liberation of
Palestine was now a heap of rubble.
In a communique, the Popular Front
reported one fighter Ahmed Mogh
rabi, 26 was killed and two were
wounded.
Moghrabi's brother, who uses the
pseudonym Abu Akram, was distraught
as he watched rescuers digging through
the rubble. When Moghrabi's body was
recoverd four hours after the raid, the
brother wailed and cocked his machine
gun, threatening to kill photographers
covering the scene.
"By God, I will shoot you all if you
film me or him (the brother)!" Abu
Akram shouted. "My brother is still a
bridegroom! He got married just 15
days ago!"
Other guerrillas calmed him down
and no pictures were taken of Akram or
his dead brother.

the second year at Curtis. The ag school
students then can transfer to NU for
another two years for a four-year degree.
Other links are being developed in

Tuition rates increase
for Nebraska colleges
OMAHA Tuition rate increases
for public and private colleges in
Nebraska show a wide range for the
coming school year, according to a
survey of the schools.
Students at Concordia Teachers
College in Seward, a private Luthe
ran Church college, will have the
state's largest increase at $792 a
year.
University J( Nebraska-Omaha
won't raise tuition this fall and will
even remove a tuition surcharge
tacked on by the Legislature for the
spring semester.
The lowest tuition for a four-year
college in Nebraska was found at
the four state colleges at Peru,
Wayne, Chadron and Kearney. The
tuition rate at those schools was $21
per credit hour for state residents in
1981 and will be $31.50 per hour in
August. For a minimum of 12 hours
per semester as a full-time student,
those rates mean an annual tuition
of $504 in 1981 compared with $756
this fall.
The highest tuition in the state
will be at Union College, a Seventh
Day Adventist Church school in
Lincoln, where students will pay an
Proposed closing argued
LINCOLN Southeast Com
munity College officials violated
state law and ignored the educa
tional needs of constituents when
they voted to close the Fairbury
campus, an attorney for supporters
of the campus said Monday.
An attorney for the college coun
tered that the board remained within
the guidelines of the statute when
voting in April to move programs at
the Fairbury campus to Beatrice.
"You can't have a college in
everybody's hometown," attorney
Doug Curry said.
A transfer program with Peru State
College has been renewed with others
pending at Chadron State College and
Norfolk Community College.
Programs through the Mid-Plains
Technical Community College Area also
are being developed, he said.
Siminoe and NU officials also are
trying to expand the credit transfers
from the ag school to the Lincoln cam
pus. Students may now transfer 56
credit hours in the general agriculture
or agriculture education programs.
Until enough students have heard
about the transfer programs, it will be
difficult because of the lowered en
rollment, Siminoe said. The Curtis

from the $4,395 paid in 1981.
Tuition rates at UNO and UNL,
the same in recent years, will differ
this fall. While UNO dropped the
surcharge mandated last spring,
UNL kept it. Tuition per credit hour
at UNL will be $43.75 for resident
undergraduates and $119 for non
residents. Per-credit-hour rates at UNO will
be $41.75 for residents, $113.25 for
non-residents.
Only two private colleges sur
veyed, Bellevue College and Con
cordia, operate on a credit hour sys
tem with 12 hours considered
full-time. Other private colleges have
a fixed rate for full-time students.
Bellevue will charge $52 per credit
hour this fall and Concordia will
charge $150 per credit hour.
Annual tuition rates for Nebraska's
private schools, based on two 12-credit-hour
semesters, show Bellevue
would cost $1,248. Concordia $3,600,
Hastings College $5,440, College of
St. Mary $4,924, Dana College $4,990,
Midland Lutheran $5,500, Doane
College $5,375, Nebraska Wesleyan
$5,420, Creighton University $5,574
and Union College $o,380.
The comments, before Lancaster
County District Judge Donald E.
Endacott, concerned a lawsuit that
seeks a permanent injunction to
block the closing of the Fairbury
campus. Endacott said he hoped to
render a decision sometime this
week.
Dave Thurber, an attorney repre
senting Fairbury campus suppor
ters, argued that the SCC board
acted illegally by authorizing money
to prepare the Beatrice campus for
Fairbury students without receiving
architectural plans or letting bids
for the work.

Only 60 new students have signed up
for the fall semester, beginning Oct. 6.
Ordinarily, Siminoe said, enrollment
figures average 160-170 for the fall
session.
Recruiting efforts were hindered this
year because the school's future ap
peared in jeopardy. It was not until
April that the NU regents approved a
binding resolution allocating $1.2 mil
lion in state funds to the Curtis school,
ending long-running speculation that
the school might be closed.
"We're still hurting tremendously on
enrollment," Siminoe said. "But we're
looking forward to a good summer
session."
