News - Roundup KHARTOUM Sudan-Seven Palestian guerillas surrendered today after holding the Saudi Arabian embassy in Khartoum since last Sunday. They had been threatening to kill the two remaining hostages unless they were given an addi tional one and granted safe air passage to another country. The terrorists previously had killed two, American dip lomats and one Belgian in an attempt to get guerillas who were being held prisoner in Jordan and other countire freed. Saudi Arabian officials refused to satisfy the demands or allow the problem to be transfered to another country, officials said. HANOI-Thirty more prisoners are scheduled to be freed today in Hanoi, after 106 were released Sunday.

D., to try to end the five-day seize of the town. One Indian said, "The federal government could stop this by guarenteeing that charges will be brought only by grand jury indictment and not by -.,ass arrests. A grand jury can examine the evidence from both sides. COLUMBIA-Although dollar devaluation has caused some inconvenience for Americans traveling overseas, it has made the South more attractive to foreign industries because of the new strength of foreign currency. South Carolina recently attracted France's Michelin Tire Corp. to invest $200 million worth of radial-steel tire plants in the state, even though it first had been considering settling in the Tennessee region.

State your opinions. People who run things should get to know you," said Michael J. Mungo, Columbia businessman and Board of Trustee member from the eleventh judicial circuit. Mungo, who is up for reelection for his seat on the Board next year, was at South Building Thursday evening to speak about "What Stu dents Should Do For Themselves." Mungo said he didn't like to lecture and he told approximately 30 people he was sure they didn't want to lis ten to a lecture, "You people get lec tured all the time," and that he would rather it be a discussion and opened the floor to "any question." Before he opened the floor, how ever, he made a few remarks. He said the trustees do more now "than a few years ago," and their job is to set University policy and to see that the University functions prop erly. "Enjoy college, it is a time of experience and experiment," Mungo said. He said this would be the last time the student would ever know "total irresponsibility as far as the establishment is concerned." He said that he is sometimes put out with his colleagues because they have "forgotten how to have fun." Mungo said the Student Govern ment should "be more representa tive," refering to the recent affair in which student government phones allegedly were used to sol icit votes for a candidate in a city council election. "Partisan politics shouldn't involve the Student Government." On the subject of the SGA's prop osed closing of Green Street Mungo said that "Green Street should have been closed years ago," and there were plans on the way "to double" the present parking facilities on campus. He said that more lots have Mr Geocrge( O Curk Thomasd J Liplion 1 MM Len 1~ox R{odt N Atlata. GA 3U26 Lipton 'Enjoy C f Experi MICHAEL MUNGO ... Questioned by students. been purchased for the allocation of more parking. Mungo said that there were plans for another park ing garage near the Roost similar to the present Blossom Street facil ity. Mungo talked about the affair in which he gave out membership cards to members of the legislature to his Coldstream Country Club. He pulled a mefibership card from his wallet and 1d%t'it on the table in front of him. "I've been giving them out to the legislators for six or seven years now," Mungo said. He said the cards cost him 15 cents each to have printed "and that's how much they're worth." He said the card allowed the leg is lators to go to the club for drinks and to play golf and "they have to pay for their own drinks, so all it really allows them to do is play golf free." He said there was no corrobora tion between the cards and his reelection. He called the legislator "benighted and ignorant" that called the press conference. Mungo said that "instead of having the courtesy of returning the card, he called a press conference." "Weston Adams would have made Student TUESI 5 P.M.

He said "I got that guy in the newspaper," and that "If you want to get attention, pick on some body." "People don't understand ambi tion, economy and drive, If you have money, you must be a thief," Mungo said. He said the public has "wild opinions" and "they believe any thing you say." About the Board members Mungo said, "There are about five or six men that I consider reasonable men." He said that at the right time he was sure that, "The trustees would come and talk to students." He said that election to the Board was strictly a political process and that many of the trustees who are elected "have no qualifications whatsoever." Mungo said he was qualified because "I have been involved in education all my life." Mungo attended the University and worked as a graduate assistant. He has also set up a scholarship award in the Business Adminstration school. Mungo said of Athletic Director Paul Dietzel's contract that he was "not sure that it is legal." and that if it were taken to court it would probably "be thrown out." He said he thought it was not a legal contract because only T. Eston Marchant and Solomon Blatt, Jr. witnessed the signing. It was never agreed upon by a full vote of the Board of Trustees. He said from a business stan dpoint it was a bad contract for the University to make and that it "was very poorly drawn." "Dietzel has learned to accept criticism and that shows "great growth on ais part." He called Dietzel "a great promo ter" and said, "The man's a ge'nius; anyone who can sell tickets like that and lose as many ball games must be a genius." He said the athletic dept. was the advertising and public relations arm of the University. MISA Night DAY Closing IAL )IN NER With Student 10 rice. Served with baked d salad and bread.
