and flew home.
It was not immediately known
whether Mohamed took his entire
delegation with him.
South Yemen is a member of the
so-called Steadfastness Front of
hardliners that refuse to accept the
existence of Israel. Another
member of the front, Libya,
boycotted the summit from the

Arab cause." But all the other
hardliners including PLO leader
Yasser Arafat, continued to take an
active part in the summit.
In a conciliatory speech to the

Reagan's Palestinian plan. He'
challenged the opposition Labor
Party, which supports the proposal,

administration and a candidate in last spring's
trustee elections.
Myers has said the proposed change to the
trustees' bylaws is "a gross invasion of the right
of the alumni, the (professional) societies and the
governor to select the people they want to
represent their interests on the board."
However, board President Walter J. Conti has
said that allowing University employees to serve
on the board is "simply a conflict of interest."
"We want an objective, unbiased view of the
day-to-day working of the University," he said.
Conti said the proposal was prompted by
