The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, September 25, 1979-Page 5 Expansion planned for Grad. Library (Continued fromPage 1) face-lift is completed, according to Robert Star.ring, assistant to the associate director for library public services. Construction will enlarge Power Ctr. (Continued from Page 1) bring more productions to the facility because groups would not need to build sets on the stage. She said important additions would be the rehearsal room, building and office space, and a "Green Room," where a production company can meet the public. "Those are fine fringe benefits and it completes something very well begun," Galan said. "The new facility will make possible more efficient use of -the Center since heretofore it. has been necessary to reserve the actual stage for rehearsal purposes," said Interim University President Allan Smith. "Further, the existence of rehearsal dance areas will provide a service not previously available on campus." Last Thursday, the University Board of Regents approved the 26,000 square- foot addition to the theater facilities and appointed the design, architec- tural, and construction firms. Bids most likely will be taken before spring 1980. The building, which was named for the Power family, has been in the plan- ning stages since 1966. When it was dedicated in fall of 1971, actress Helen Hayes, author Truman Capote and Gov. William Milliken were among the, dignitaries in attendance. Plans for the addition have not been finalized. The Power Center is the center for performances of PTP, the University Musical Society, and other cultural and artistic activities. AN INCREASED demand for study space and a general desire to upgrade services, were the major reasons for the $100,000 renovation, Starring said. "The particular problem period used to be from midterms into finals, but in the past couple of years, students have been using the library more heavily even early in the term," he said. He added that the heaviest study periods are Sundays and evenings early in the week., Starring said the new arrangement will also allow for increased efficiency and flexibility in the library's periodical system. Currently, the serial listings are scattered throughout the library and are only available on week- days before 5 p.m. When the transfor- mation is completed the listings will be conveniently situated in one area and will be available during regular library hours, including evenings and weeken- ds. THE CHANGES will occur in phases. New furniture will be placed in the periodical room in the next week. The partition, which will separate the study area from the serial holdings, will be installed late in October. And the remainder of the changes should be finished by Winter term, according to Starring. Most students appear satisfied with the upcoming changes. "It sounds good - they should make studying as pleasant and easy as possible," sid Jim Gold, and LSA junior. But James Kenworthy, former mayoral candidate and Inteflex lee turer, said the constant changes in the library system can be confusing. "Every time I figure out where the books are in this place, they move them someplace else," said Kenworthy ANN ARBOR 5th Avenue at Libert St. 7619700 Formerly Fifth Forum Theater ENDS THURS!

'The husband-wife team, who dominated world pairs skating in the mid-1960's, were the fourth and fifth prominent Soviet performers to seek political asylum abroad in little more than a month. Three dancers of the Bolshoi Ballet defected to the United States. THE 47-YEAR-OLD Protopopov and his 44-year-old wife vanished last Tuesday, the day before they were to hVe flown back to the Soviet Union af- ter ~ 'fotf week skating exhibition tour' of West Germany and Switzerland. Swiss Justice Ministry spokesman Ulrich Hubacher announced yesterday that they had asked for asylum in Swit- zerland last week, and he said the government would make a decision within several weeks. He did not di$close their present whereabouts or their plans. Their Swiss host and tour organizer, Kurt Soenning, told a reporter that the couple, who are childless, arrived at Zurich airport Aug. 22 with 10 pieces of luggage. "He brought a videorecorder and she even a sewing machine. I joked about it then. Now, I know why they brought all of this," Soenning said. SOENNING SAID yesterday: "Last Monday, while I was at work in the af- ternoon, they took leave of my wife, thanked her profusely and went to a dinner at the invitation of some friends in Thalwil. % "Later that evening two taxis came for them in Thalwil and took them off to an unknown destination. "The next think I heard was when the Soviet Culture Ministry in Moscow rang me at my home to ask where'the couple had gone."'' HE SAID he thought they made a wrong decision. "If I knew where they are I would tell them, 'Go home,' but I guess it is too late. . . . I don't think they have much of a chance in the West, ' professionally. They are well past their peak. After all, they are in their mid 40s." Nevertheless the petite blonde and her 'slim partner have been idolized by millions of skating fans for more than 15 years. Soviet authorities heaped top honors on them, including the ALL YOU CAN EAT Tues: Lasagnaa Wed: Fried Chicken A 7s prestigious title "Master of Sport of the Soviet Union." The Protopopovs, married since 1957, rose to world fame at the Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria, in 1964, dethroning defending gold medalists Marika Kilius and Hans Jurgen Baumler of West Germany. They won four successive world championships in 1964-68 and another Olmypic gold at Grenoble, France, in 1968. said. "For athletes of that caliber, there are no problems." The previous recent defections were of Bolshoi Ballet dancer Alexander Godunov and Valentina Kozlov in Los Angeles Sept. 16., AFTER GODUNOV defected, U.S. authorities held a Soviet jetliner carrying his wife, Ludmilla Vlasova, at New York's Kennedy Airport for three days.

THE COUPLE last appeared in in- ternational competition at the 1969 world championships in Colorado Springs, Colo., where they placed third, losing their title to another Soviet pair, Irina Rodnina and %/4alexei Ulanov, who went on to win the 1972 Olmypic title. The Protopopovs turned professional early in the 1970s, skating with a troupe based in Leningrad, their hometown. In Moscow, a Soviet sports official told a Western reporter he knew of no reason why they should leap to the West. "They had every benfit here," he return to Moscow and not defect with her husband. In another case, self-exiled Soviet chess grandmaster Victor Korchnoi, a resident of Switzerland since 1977, has been granted political asylum in this country, the Swiss justice ministry an- nounced yesterday. A spokesman said Korchnoi filed his request for asylum in Switzerland only earlierthis year. "He apparently could not make up his mind for along time where to settle," the spokesman ex- plained.
