THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesdoy; August 27, 1969 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Wednesday, August 27, 1 969 Assembly line health Rapes low, CRIME ON CAMPUS muggings high By HAROLD ROSENTIIAL "Well miss, you sa your sto- mach is bothering you? Well, we'll just check to see if you are pregnant," said a doctor in Health Service, the home of medical care for University stu- dents. While not really the case, this is the type of treatment many students claim they get from Health Service. Dr. Robert Anderson, director of Health Service, disagrees. He says that the clinic "has been considered one of the leading health services, although we may have slipped recently be- cause of a lack of money." "We don't order that everyone comes in be checked for certain conditions," he says. "But, we have to be suspicious of certain diseases like infectious mononu- cleosis." "Many students come in with possible symptoms of mono, so we run a large number of tests for it. It all depends on what the individual doctor decides is ne- cessary," he explains. Some of the complaints about health service have been direct- ed at specific staff doctors. The clinic is regularly staffed by 13 doctors, with professors from the Medical School serving as con- sultants. Anderson says, "Our goal is to get top quality physicians." Each resident is "hand picked", he says. He adds that "there is a wait- ing list" for Medical School staff who wish to work at Health Service. But, even with all the myriad of complaints, Anderson says that "students are looking at Health Service in a favorable way." "There is rarely a day when we see under 300 people," he says. "This is an average in- crease of 58 people per day over last year." Health Service actually does provide for the campus com- munity. You can see a doctor without charge duiing clinic hours, and doctors are always available. The clinic also has its own lab and x-ray facilities. Health Service also provides an infirmary, a mental health clinic, an immunization center, an environmental health center and information on a large range of personal problems. Some non-prescription drugs are also available at much lower prices at Health Service. Aspirin sells for 25 cents per 100. One of the biggest problems Health Service faces is a lack of money to expand its facilities. The present overcrowding of its building makes expansion of present programs or creation of new programs impossible. The building now housing Health Service was designed to handle only one-third of its present use. One program Anderson hopes to start, but which is being de- layed by the space problem, is a dependent care program which would allow dependents of stu- dents to receive the same bene- fits as students. "This is important in Ann Arbor because it is hard for students to get a doctor on a regular basis here," Anderson says. "One alternative to solve the financial problem would be a student fee to cover environ- mental and personal health care," he says. This is the most effective means of funding, he adds, "but it would be nice not to have to tax students." Anderson agrees with others that Health Service can't "get away with poor quality care," And he adds that "the quality of care is progressively improv- ing." Nonetheless, there seems to be an unending backlog of students who complain, for example, their Health Service doctor refused to x-ray their injured arm until the break led to incredible swelling two days later. By MARCIA ABRAMSON Shocked by the string of six Ann Arbor area murders, the Regents have increased campus security precautions. But the murders are not the only reason the University has called for more protection. Ann Arbor is a growing city, and has a proportionately , increasing crime rate. The most recurrent crime is street "crimes against a per- son" robberies or molestations- explains Police Chief Walter Krasny. The rate is higher than the national average, presum- ably because of the large amount of pedestrian traffic on campus. Despite the rumors, and de- spite the six sex slayings, Ann Arbor is not that good a town for rape, although most of them do occur in the campus area, again because of the high num- ber of pedestrians. Although the average coed guesses that there are about 25 rapes a year in Ann Arbor, the real figure for actual rapes in 1967 was only three. Of course, there is no way of accounting for unreported rapes. But many of the reported rapes later turn out to be epi- sodes in stormy love affairs. The national figures are much higher. The average is one rape per 11,000 persons per year; in 1967 in Ann Arbor there was only one rape per 33,000. The recent slayings tend to throw a different perspective on these statistics, but most mem- bers of the University and sur- rounding community seem to agree that the slayings are not the product of an ordinary rap- ist, but rather of a psychopath. Once the murderer is caught, they feel, rapes will probably settle back into their normal pattern. By now, with the deaths of six girls under remarkably sim- ilar circumstances in a two- year period, people have gener- ally decided that the killer rmust have some kind of good cover, enabling him to pick up the girls without raising their susai- cions. None seem to have been abducted; two were reported to have been hitchhiking, and an- other accepted a ride from the Union bulletin board. The las- est victim was last seen with un- known companions she met at a private party. Still, girls on campus have be- come more wary of walking and staying alone. And with each murder, the tension increases. The University has responded to the increasing crime rate with one of the best defenses against crime: light. New and better lighting systems have been in- stalled all over the central cam- pus and on North Campus. The campus is regularly pa- trolled by Sanford Security guards as well as Ann Aroor police. Sanford guards are not armed, but Krasny says their mere presence can be a crime deterrent. Night-time campus patrols iv Ann Arbor police were incr'e,.sed by two patrol cars of t vo mnn each after the bizarre shooting last fall of Joel Cordish, a grad student, on the Diag in the early morning. Cordish was pat'alyed by his assailant, one of a group who was picked up in the South and convicted of assault with intent to do great bodily harm. The patrols have been in- creased again in the wake 01 the sex murders. Another txuo night patrols of two men ca ch have been added. But the police cannot cont rol what may really be the 'biggest crime problem around 'he Uni- versity: vandalism and theft. The number one : arvet for petty thievery has been Wa- terman / Barbour Gymnasium, where at least one wallet is stol- en evei'y week. The dormitory system also provides a gold mine for thieves. Everything--including furniture and carpets-disappears, and robberies from unlocked student rooms keep increasing. Robberies were so bad ,, at South Quad last year attempted to establish a policy of "resi- dents and guests only" in non- public areas. But the move vwas not popular with students, aid was quickly discontinued. Krasny attributes much of the campus crime to unemployed Syouths from the Ypsilanti area. He says many offendeirs are r'e- peaters. Students are rarely in- Subscribe to The Michigan Daily volved in any violent crime,'he explains. For the most part, the only "crimes" involving students fail into three broad categories: pot. protest and non-payment of rent. About 190 student arrests were the result of the protest in support of the welfare mothers' demonstration for more funds last fall. Then there are al- ror U' ways pot arrests, and some stu- dents also lost eviction cases brought by landlords in the ient strike. And then there's the mad bomber, whoever he may be, who has hit three war-related buildings in Ann Arbor in the last year, always escaping with- out a trace. But there are many who hesitate to call him-or any of the students-a criminal. Boom! boo!t. boom! By MARTIN HIRSCHMAN The work of a mad man-or an insidious plot by a group of 20th century self-styled Social Revolutionaries? No one, especially the police and hordes of FBI investigators working on the case, seems to have even the most dubious lead as to the identity of the bomber(s?) who has hit three government-related buildings in Ann Arbor over the last ten months. Unlike the two later bombings, the first did not involve a Uni- versity building. On Sept. 29 at 11:30 p.m. about five sticks of dyna- mite exploded at the obscure office of the Central Intelligence Agency in Ann Arbor. The office, which was reportedly used to recruit CIA agents from among students at the University and Michigan State University, was destroyed by the blast. Police said they suspected "hippies of college age," but could never produce a suspect. The CIA bombing was barely forgotten when a new blast-this time at the University's Institute for Science and Technology Bldg. on North Campus--literally resounded across the University area. Political motivations seemed especially likely since classified re- search is conducted in the building's radar laboratory. The explosive used was also dynamite, but the blast was said to be much stronger than the one at the CIA office. However, the damage to IST was small-chiefly broken windows and displaced doors. A period of relative calm followed the second bombing. And in the interim, a group of people in Detroit were arrested and charged with a series of bombings similar to those which took place here. Then, on June 1, a sizeable explosion (the police haven't figured out what it is yet) rocked North Hall--the classroom and office building for the three branches of the Reserve Oficer's Training Corps stationed at the University. The blast-which blew out one wall of the structure and gutted an Army staff car assigned to the commander of Army ROTC at the University-came at 11 p.m., within 45 minutes of the time at which the other two explosions took place. The bomb exploded under the car, setting fire to the building. Firemen quickly arrived to extinguish the blaze, and University of- ficials said there had been no structural damage to the building.
