2 —The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Dee. 3,198 G Rebels say they'll wait for power By RUBEN G. ALABASTRO Associated Press Writer MANILA, Philippines Negotiators for com munist rebels said yesterday that they will not demand a share of power immediately. The mili .tary reported no fighting anywhere in the country five days after a cease-fire agreement. The truce is to run for GO days, beginning Dec. 10, while the rebels and President Corazon Aquino’s government seek a permanent solution to the insurgency that began 17 years ago. In comments during a television interview, the rebel negotiators also said they “can live” for now with the presence of U.S. military bases. Leases on Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base run until 1991, and Aquino has pledged to honor them. The president dismissed two more ministers yesterday in her Cabinet reorganization, and the armed forces commander reassigned armored vehicles belonging to the Defense Ministry securi ty force, which was linked to an alleged coup plot. Satur Ocampo, chief rebel negotiator, said the question of a coalition with Aquino would come up “only if” the two sides agreed on a plan for solving the nation’s problems. “After that it would become a tactical question as to whether, in the implementation of these agreed programs, the two forces can cooperate, coordinate or coalesce,” Ocampo said. iprZi'ZA 234-4743 Delivery In 30 Minutes or FREE iMiD ■PIZZA!

Ocampo and fellow negotiators Antonio Zumel and Carolina Malay were interviewed on the program Viewpoint in their first television appear ance since the cease-fire agreement was signed last Thursday They said they would not press immediately for the dismantling of Clark and Subic, the two largest U.S. overseas military facilities. "We have lived all these years, we have fought all these years .. . under the very nose of the U.S. bases, and that in itself shows that we can live with these bases,” Malay said. She added that the guerrillas “definitely are not abandoning” their insistence that the bases even tually be closed, declaring: “They are bad for the country, they are bad for the people,. they are bad for the entire region of Southeast Asia.” Aquino has said she will leave open the question of whether to allow the bases to remain after the leases expire. Zumel said the rebels are not committed to armed struggle and “if we can attain change in our country ... through a negotiated settlement, then we are willing to try it.” He added, however, that the chance of a nego tiated settlement "may not be as bright” as some people hoped. He did not elaborate.

The military had demanded both be fired for incompetence. Businessmen have accused Sanchez, a former human rights lawyer, of taking a pro-labor stance. Pimentel has been accused of appointing incompe tent officials to fill many posts vacated when former President Ferdinand E. Marcos fled the country Feb. 26. At a closed meeting with the military command yesterday, Aquino said the Cabinet changes were difficult because they involved political allies, “but the call of duty and national unity required me to remove them.” “I tell you this because you, more than anyone else, understand that duty and country must come first, for the soldier as for the commander-in chief,” she said. Col. Honesto Isleta, armed forces spokesman, told reporters after the meeting that the situation was “peaceful all over the country.” “If there is any group that wants a cease-fire, it is the armed forces because we’re the ones getting killed,” he said.

The Dow Jones average of 30 blue-chip stocks jumped 43.03 points to close at 1,955.57, easily surpassing the previous high of 1,919.71 set Sept. 4. The gain was the third biggest by. the market’s best known indi cator and put the average nearly 51 percent higher than when the current rally began in late Sep tember 1985. On the New York Stock Ex change, approximately four stocks rose in price for every one that declined. Analysts said the market’s up surge was fueled by a general improvement in the mood of inves tors that snowballed as the session progressed. 1 TANmNGSTIHMO I I SAVE 40% with this coupon I j 11 SESSIONS - ONLY $4O | I I • Safe, gentle —no burning I I I • FDA Approved I I I • 1/2 Hr.

But they disagreed on how significant a role this had in the day’s performance. Prices quickly shot up at the opening of trading following the Commerce Department’s an nouncement that its measure of leading economic indicators rose 0.6 percent in October a good gain that was not considered enough to encourage a rise in interest rates. Analysts said investors also ap peared to have been cheered by President Reagan’s noontime speech, in which he called for an independent counsel and a con gressional committee to look into the Iranian arms affair. The speech seemed to have calmed market fears of negative fallout from the matter, some analysts said. College, PA Grads up despite aid drop By USA NURNBERGER Collegian Staff Writer Despite declines in state and feder al aid, the University has seen an increase in the number of graduate student applications and enrollments this year, University President Bryce Jordan told the Graduate Student Association last night. Because of the lack of funding, Jordan said priorities must be set as to where money will be spent. He said the University should concentrate on “elements of intellectual equip ment,” such as graduate facilities, libraries and laboratories rather than the comforts of housing. “You can be assured that the dol lars needed to do everything we would like to do won’t be available,” Jordan said. * I ‘ However, Jordan said he believes that prospective graduate students are aware, of the University’s high standards in regards to graduate facilities. Because of those stan dards, the University has been swamped with applications, he added, allowing the school to be both more selective and more liberal in admitting students. “University enrollment for grad uate studies has grown from 6,005 to 6,566 since the Fall of 1985,” Jordan said, adding that this is a 10.5 percent increase. tit' Jordan said Charles L.

Turco said the fire would help sci entists make better predictions on how nuclear war would affect the climate by showing the amount of smoke emitted by a large fire; the size, longevity, chemistry and sun blocking ability of smoke particles; and the abilities of rain and clouds in filtering smoke from the atmosphere. 237-7314 Expires 12/5/86 Open: 11 AM for Lunch Till 2 AM at Night FRI.-SAT.
