S MRCHIG NUNION SEVENTY-FIFTH ANIVRSA RY The Michigan Union was founded by Edward F. "Bob" Parker, a 1904 ISA graduate. He wanted a place where students, faculty and alumni could get together and feel bound by a common spirit. With their help Parker was able to see his visions carried out, and as a result we now have a student center. The Michigan Union was the prototype for the majority of college unions in the country. STOCKHOLM, Sweden-The Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded yesterday to an American and a Briton who in their separate ways helped develop an X-ray technique-computer assisted tomography-that enables man to peer more clearly and safely than ever into the human body. Physicist Allan M. Cormack, 55, of Tufts University in Medford, Mass., said he was "amazed" to learn that the Royal Caroline Medico-Surgical In- stitute had selected him for the 1979 prize. HIS CO-WINNER, Godfrey Houn- sfield, 60, a research engineer with the British electronics firm EMI, .told a London news conference, "I must say that I thought that I had done well, but never expected this." Hounsfeld noted he was a rare phenomenon,-a Nobel science winner without a university degree. As a young' man he attended a technical school, then entered the RoyalAir Force, and finally joined EMI as a radar specialist. The choice apparently was a surprise to the Institute's Nobel selection com- mittee as well. Informed sources said the committee's recommendatibn was overridden by the 54 Institute faculty members who made the final choice. THIS UNPRECEDENTED veto reportedly was made after a long and heated debate within the Institute. The identity of the committee's choice was not publicly known. The medicine award was the first of the six annual Nobel prizes to be an- nounced. The physics, chemistry and economics prizes will be awarded next week, and the literature and peace prizes in the days or weeks following. President Carter has been nominated for the peace prize. Last year, six of the nine laureates were Americans. Cormack and Hounsfield, who for years were unaware of each other's research, will share a record $190,000 award for their contributions to the X- ray technique. CORMACK IS the 53rd U.S. citizen to win the medicine award, which has been dominated by Americans in recent decades. A native of South Africa, Cormack was cited for doing the mathematical analyses that laid the groundwork for the computerized technique. Hounsfield was honored as the "central figure" in its practical development. Many in medicine view the "CAT" scanning method as a revolution equal to the discovery of the X-ray itself almost a century ago. "This is only the beginning," said use for only six years it has become an extremely quick, highly effective diagnostic technique, especially for the brain. Cormack, educated at the University of Cape Town and Cambridge, moved to the United States in 1956 and became a U.S. citizen 10 years later. He published his analysis of the mathematical Sitrust sa.v that I thought that I had done well, ba nterer expectedl this. -Godfrey' Hounsfjield Cormack. "It is my belief that in time this (body-scanner) will replace X-rays as treatment for tumors," he told a press conference at Tufts. THROUGH THE scanner,.the dose of radiation is cut by one-third to one- tenth that of X-rays now used to examine tumors. It adds a new dimension to traditional X-raying and though in general hospital problem in 1963-64. Hounsfield has worked for EMI-an electronics firm that manufacturers medical equipment but is known best as a producer of Beatles" and other record albums-since the early 1950s. He was an early pioneer in development of large solid-state computers, and his work on automatic pattern recognition put him onto the idea of the CAT. BUT GROUP SHORT OF FUNDS Survey to determine building By AMY DIAMOND A local group will soon survey the city's buildings to find out how ac- cessible the edifices are to hatidicapped persons. The Ann Arbor Center for In- dependent Living (AACIL) expects to begin the project despite the fact that it has mustered only half the $15,000 group officials feel they need for the survey.- The survey of local businesses, schools, banks and agencies will determine which buidings contain "ar- chitectural barriers" to physically handicapped individuals and senior citizens. The outcome of the survey will be the development of an accessibility guidebook for the city's mobility- limited individuals. "WE LOOKED AT other surveys for reference. We want to find out whether there are existing facilities for the han- dicapped and which buildings are ac- cessible, and how a certain building compares with the standard," ex- plained Cheryl Pelava, research assistant for the AACIL. The Center, which opened in Novem- ber of 1976, was the first center of its kind in Michigan. It is a non-profit cor- poration that developed as a result of the needs expressed by physically han- dicapped individuals.- These needs - include housing, transportation, ad- vocacy, attendant care and peer coun- selling - are all services the AACIL provides. AACIL officials initially thought of doing the survey and accompanying booklet in January of 1978 and estimated the project would cost $15,000 for a paid secretary, a coordinator, and funding to publish the guidebook. THE GROUP asked Ann Arbor City Council for $7,500 for the project, but council turned down the request' this summer. The Washtenaw United Way, gave the AACIL. $5,500 for the survey' and AACIL members expect to receive an additional $2,000 from the Ann Arbor Area Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides funds for community programs and projects. Though the project will be carried out, the absence of $7,500 from the city caused the AACIL to discontinue its plans to pay a secretary and coor- dinator. The group is now relying on 50- 60 volunteer workers and four CETA workers to conduct the survey. According to Pelava, council felt that funding for the survey was an inap- propriate use of city money. SECTION 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 states that no handicapped individual be ,excluded from participating in, be denied the benefits of, or be discriminated against under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. "It's (the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) a federal regulation, so the city feels the federal government should pay for it and they're (the city) not going to pay for it," Pelava said., Councilmember Louis Senunas (R- Third Ward), said, "The opposition to the survey is that it seems awfully ex- pensive for a cataloguing of this type of information. We just don't have money to meet those requests. It would be nice, but to fund those you would have to get more money from the taxpayers." SENUNAS ADDED, "The project is a very expensive way to get information that is already available or can be got- ten in a cheaper way."' One alternative idea council mem- bers have proposed is an ordinance that would require businesses to specify if they are barrier-free in the yellow pages of the city telephone directory. cessibility But while Pelava said the yellow pages would provide another reference for people to look at, she said the' listings "might be done merely to look like the city is complying with the (federal) codes. We're really concer ned that they will do a very minimum job with people who don't really know; what they're doing." COUNCIL MEMBER Ken Latta (D- First Ward), said he was in favor of funding the survey, but noted that, "The city government and its buildings aren't even in compliance. The city hasn't lived up to it's own standards regarding accessibility." Although the city has not helped fund the survey, many members of the community have supported the AACIL in its endeavor. The Ann Arbor Cham- ber of Commerce, the mayor, four' merchant organizations, and many social service agencies support the guidebook. "The survey is not an enforcement, kind of activity. We're going to use its- a guidebook to aid these people so they can use it as a resource book. Anybody can be in the survey, it's free and it's up to the business to initiate any kind of ac- tion," Pelava explained. Federal workersfce payls SECOND ce79-1776 C IIMCE _216S.

With services like these why go anywhere else? pyday WASHINGTON (AP)-A House- Senate conference on an emergency funding bill collapsed in chaos yester- day, increasing the possibilty of a payless payday for more than a million military personnel and reduced paychecks for hundreds of thousands of government workers. The breakdown came only minutes after negotiators for the two houses of Congress had agreed on a fragile com- promise on the biggest issue holding up the bill-language limiting federal fun- ding for abortions. BUT SENATE conferees refused to agree on the last issue of disagreement--the 5.5 per cent pay raise in congressional salaries passed by the House. House negotiators then backed out of the agreement on abortion language, putting the negotiations back to the beginning. Both sides instructed their 'staffs to work overnight on a short-term stopgap lproposal that could head off the impgn- dingcutbacks in federal paychecks and restore funds for some programs already cut off.
