LARNACA, Cyprus (UPI) — For a
moment, it recalled the daring rescue at
Uganda’s Entebbe airport by Israeli
troops in July, 1976. But only for a
moment.
From the minute Egyptian commandos
landed at Larnaca Airport, where two
terrorists held 16 persons hostage aboard a
hijacked, Cypriot Airways DC-8, things
started to go wrong.
Some 50 confusing, terrifying minutes
later, Egypt’s would-be Entebbe had en-
ded in a bloodbath.
The bodies of 15 persons — at least 12 of
them Egyptians — were scattered across
the tarmac and at least 22 persons had
been wounded.
The hostages — scared but somehow
unhurt throughout it all — freed them-
selves. The terrorists were so terrified
themselves, they surrendered.
Cypriot President Spyros Kyprianou
said the gunmen were at the point of
surrendering when the Egyptian Hercules
C-130 transport plane arrived at Larnaca
airport.
Career hotline number given
GALVESTON, (UPI)—College students in-
terested in health careers but unsure of op-
portunities and requirements can telephone a new
toll free “hotline” number for answers.
The number is 1-800-392-6433.
“You can call from any point in Texas between 9
and 5 Monday through Friday,” said Martha
Torres, director of the federally funded program
operated by the University of Texas Medical Bran-
ch.
“What we try to do here on the hotline is provide
information and resources to students, teachers and
counselors as to different health careers, educa-
tional requirements, where schools are located and
so forth.
“We can provide location, length of program,
type of diploma, certificate or degree they receive,”
she said. “We can give them information as to what
entrance tests are required, when tests are
available, how much it will cost.”
She said providing young students information
now about job prospects in the future is often a best-
guess situation.
“For high school students, it’s very hard (to
predict). We’ve had a couple of calls from
sophomores who ask what it will be like to be a
Reception planned
radiologist in five years. It’s very hard to tell them,
but I can tell them what it is like now.”
The program began Jan. 3 under a special $60,000
project grant from the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare.
“We’re averaging 10 calls a day,” she said.
In addition to answering the phone, Torres and
her secretary have since been busy with the con-
tinual business of gathering material and
organizing. It’s a big job.
“In the State of Texas, there are over 550
educational programs in health,” she said. “That’s
a huge amount. We have contacted all those pro-
grams for current information. We have requested
brochures in bulk quantities.
“The response has been very good. If we have the
brochures here, we mail them on request. If not,
what we will do is give them general information
and the address.”
TMB faculty and staff are providing consultation
and advice.
The hotline is only a part of the so-caled “health
career information outreach program” Ms. Torres
and her staff are putting together.
“Another facet — right now we’re in the planning
stages — is regional workshops for high school
teachers where they don’t have counselors,” she
said. “We’re going to try to do three workshops
before the end of academic 1977-78.”
The plane rolled to a halt some 3,000 yar-
ds away from the hijacked Cyprus Air-
ways plane.
Kyprianou said he thought the plane was
bringing Egypt’s information minister to
witness the negotiations. He was in for a
surprise.
The 'tail ramp of the transport opened
and out swarmed a force of Egyptian com-
mandos, guns blazing from a charging
jeep.
They raced toward the hijacked plane,
peppering its cockpit and nose with
bullets, striking fuel lines and even
spraying fire in the direction of the control
tower from where Kyprianou was direc-
ting the negotiations.
On board the hijacked plane, British
pilot Bill Cox recalled, “Everybody, even
the terrorists, hit the floor.
“They (the Egyptians) fired on the cock-,
pit and at the front door. The aircraft was
peppered with holes, running with fuel,
and its lucky it didn’t blow up,” Cox said.
“How the hell we survived I’ll never
know.”
It was after he saw the jeep fire on the
plane that he ordered his men to attack the
Egyptians, Cypriot Interior Minister
Christodoulos Veniamin said afterward.
For the next 50 minutes Larnaca airport
resounded to the sound of explosions, the
rattle of machinegun fire and the hiss of
tracer bullets streaking across the runway
in trails of red.
A cypriot shell hit the Hercules tran-
sport, which burst into flames,
A Cypriot jeep raced up to the hijacked
plane, and a guardsman threw a grenade
in die middle of the attacking Egyptian
force. Bloodied bodies, some moaning,
others lying quite still, lay scattered
across the tarmac.
At one point, Cypriot guardsmen tried to
crawl on their bellies up to the besieged
jetliner to free the hostages, but were
driven back by Egyptian fire.
They came back in with armored cars
with heavy machine guns mounted on
them and moved in a pincer formation
toward the nose of the plane.
Finally, the Egyptians gave themselves
up.
The shooting died down. A Greek Cypriot
with a megaphone walked over to the
hostage plane and shouted “Come out.
Nobody will be hurt.”
One by one they did.
Police hunt
new home for
mystery ashes
FORT WORTH, Texas
(UPI) -- Authorities are
trying to find the relatives
of a man who died almost
50 years ago and whose
cremated remains are
stored in the police depart-
ment’s property room.
A note on the bottom of a
copper urn containing the
ashes of Walter Claude
Blount said the man died
June 18, 1932, in Los
Angeles at age 59 and was
cremated at Inglewood
Park Cemetary.
Blount’s remains have
sat in the midst of stolen
bicycles and stereos in the
Police Department’s
property room for almost
two years after workers
spotted the urn containing
the ashes in a downtown
hotel about to be
demolished.
There IS a difference!*.

Answer to last week’s game
A reception will be held
March 7 at 6 p.m. to honor
members of the Alpha
Lambda Delta and Phi Eta
Sigma honor societies, ac-
cording to Mavis Kelton,
advisor to the societies.
The reception will be
held on the eighth floor of
the Gray Library and will
let eligible students meet
members of the societies.
The reception also
recognizes outstanding
students and encourages
them to continue, Kelton
said.
Both societies give 10
national scholarships a
year. Applicants must have
a 3.5 average throughout
their college career and be
going on to graduate
school.
The members qualify in
their freshman year and
must have a 3.5 average or
better for 15 or more hours
in a semester of their fresh-
man year, Kelton said.
Letters have been sent to
prospective members in-
viting them to attend the
reception. Kelton said that
anyone who may have been
overlooked can contact her
in the financial aid office.
Alpha Lambda Delta is
for women, while Phi Eta
Sigma is for men.
President of Alpha Lamb-
da Delta is Susan Musch,
accounting and pre-law
major from Port Arthur.
President of Phi Eta Sigma
is Dana Timaeus, business
management and pre-law
major from Port Neches.
